Casey Welcomes BIG Investment in Transport Casey’s Liberal candidates have welcomed the record investment in local roads saying they are proud of the Napthine Government’s record, delivering the local road upgrades and major infrastructure investment the community needs.

The project will complement the recently announced $10.1 million duplication of Sladen Street between Codrington Street and Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road. Mr Ablett said that he is working hard with Minister Mulder to address a number of road issues that have been raised around the Cranbourne electorate. “This includes taking up the case of Lyndhurst residents opposed to closure of Northey Road as well as a real plan to solve the chronic trafﬁc issues on Thompsons Road,” Mr Ablett said. Liberal Candidate for Narre Warren South, Susan Serey welcomed the continuing works on the $49 million Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road upgrade and the $40 million Hallam Road upgrade in Hampton Park.

Improvements to public transport services in the City of Casey are set to continue with the Napthine Government recently announcing the $2-$2.5 billion Cranbourne-Pakenham Rail Corridor project which will cater for another 4,500 passengers during weekday peak hour.

“I’m proud to be part of Denis Napthine’s team that is serious about improving public transport in our local area,” Ms Stapledon said.

Mr Ablett said in the ﬁve year period to December 2013, there were eight recorded crashes at the site, including two serious injury crashes.

“As someone who lives and works here in the Cranbourne electorate, I know how important it is to have a road network that will keep us moving into the future.”

AMANDA STAPLEDON

Liberal Candidate for Narre Warren North Amanda Stapledon, welcomed the commitment to build a better Public Transport system in Casey.

Liberal Candidate for Cranbourne, Geoff Ablett recently joined the Minister for Roads, Terry Mulder, to announce a $427,000 investment to improve safety at the intersection of Sladen Street and Codrington Street in Cranbourne.

“The upgrade will include the installation of concrete trafﬁc islands on the Codrington Street approaches, as well as line marking to clearly mark the intersection,” Mr Ablett said.

Napthine Government Continues Delivering Better Public Transport

The project will boost capacity and reliability, delivering 25 next-generation high capacity trains, improving signalling and removing four level crossings. It will also create 3,000 jobs.

“These major investments in the Narre Warren South Electorate are projects that the former Labor Government neglected to fund over 11 years,” Ms Serey said. “The Napthine Government, in just one term, has committed, funded and started these projects,” Ms Serey said. “The duplication of Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road will be a fully divided road for 3.5 kilometres between Pound Road and Thompson Road,” Ms Serey said. “Three lanes each way between Pound Road and Coral Drive/Fordholm Road in Hampton Park is the one of the key aspects of the Hallam Road project.” Liberal Candidate for Narre Warren North, Amanda Stapledon said the Casey community has welcomed the governments preliminary work on providing a third lane on the Monash Freeway between the South Gippsland Freeway and Clyde Road. “This project has the potential to cut peak hour commuter times,” Ms Stapledon said.

“Originally deleted from the plans by the former Labor Government to save on time and on budget, the Napthine Government commitment has been welcomed within the community.” In addition to these local projects, only the Napthine Government will deliver the East West Link, a vital project which will pull Melbourne’s freeway systems together. The East West Link will provide an alternative to the Monash-West Gate freeways for east-west travel. The project will ease congestion on the Eastern and Monash freeways, as well as the Princes Highway and create thousands of Victorian jobs.

The Napthine Government will continue to invest in Casey’s roads so that you spend less time stuck in trafﬁc and more time at home with your family.

Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Sladen Street Hallam Road East West Link Monash Freeway Northey Road Thompsons Road

“The Napthine Government is committed to reducing the cost of living by delivering more affordable public transport for people living in Zone 2. From 1 January 2015 commuters will be able to travel in Zone 1 and 2 for the price of a Zone 1 fare saving around $1200,” Ms Stapledon said. In addition to cheaper fares and major improvements, only the Napthine Government will build the Melbourne Airport Rail Link, which means your interstate or overseas holiday will start as soon as you board the train in Casey. The service will depart from Southern Cross Station every 10 minutes during peak hour with the total journey to the airport expected to take approximately 25 minutes. The new link will terminate at a new elevated station at Melbourne Airport. Ms Stapledon said the Melbourne Airport Rail Link is a critical component of the broader Transport Plan that will deliver more services to carry more people. “Only the Napthine Government will build the Airport Rail Link and continue to deliver better, cheaper, more convenient public transport in Melbourne’s south east.” MORE INFO: myrailline.com.au Authorised by D Mantach, 104 Exhibition Street, Melbourne

LOCAL ISSUES Building a Better and Safer Casey y that is exactly what has happened,” Ms Serey said. SUSAN SEREY Narre Warren South

More police, PSOs patrolling railway stations, abolishing suspended sentences, tough action to combat illicit drugs and tougher baseline sentencing reforms highlight four years of building a safer more vibrant Casey community. Liberal Candidate for Narre Warren South, Susan Serey said an additional 1,700 police ofﬁcers are now on the beat, meaning that more criminals are being arrested, leading to a safer Victoria. “The Government was elected to get tough on criminals and anti-social behaviour and

Labor’s Legacy of Financial Failures Still Hurting Casey Families Victorian Labor’s 11 years of ﬁnancial disasters wasted billions of dollars of your money. This money could have paid for more road and public transport infrastructure, more level crossing removals, more school upgrades, AND eased the pressures on the cost of living. So when Daniel Andrews admitted he wasn’t much good at Maths (The Age, 21 June 2014) and billions of dollars were wasted by Labor from 1999-2010, losses for which Victorians are paying each and every day, why on earth would you trust him with your wallet? $3.6 billion wasted on the bungled pokies auction & compensation paid for breach of contract $1.4 billion budget blow out on the Myki ticketing system under Labor $22 billion wasted on Labor’s desalination disaster, costing Victorians $2 million each day for the next 27 years $750 million + $500,000 per year on maintenance for the North South Pipeline Budget blow out on Regional Rail Link $360 million budget blow out for roads construction such as the M1 upgrade. $120 million wasted on schools’ disastrous Ultranet computer system $70 million budget blow out Mismanagement of the Federally funded BER Program $420 Million backlog in school maintenance built up under Labor $1.4 billion budget blow outs for Labor’s IT projects such as Healthsmart and Victoria Police LINK project

Daniel Andrews endorsed every Labor Financial Failure around the Cabinet Table. Why would you trust him with your wallet?

“By making sure we have a safer, more vibrant community we have made Victoria an even better place to live.” “PSOs are now patrolling Casey stations and carparks from 6pm to last train and commuters feel safer at night,” Ms Serey said. Labor’s revolving door approach to justice has been brought to an end - jail will mean jail - and we have brought forward tough action to combat ice and funding to tackle violence against women and families. “Crime was rampant under Labor, because Labor is soft on crime. The Napthine Government will continue to build a better, safer Casey,” Ms Serey said.

Creating Victorian Jobs in the 21st Century GEOFF ABLETT Cranbourne

Liberal Candidate for Cranbourne, Geoff Ablett, has welcomed the comprehensive Victorian Jobs in the 21st Century plan. The $33 billion initiative will create 200,000 jobs and provide training for 850,000 Victorians. Mr Ablett said the Victorian Jobs in the 21st Century plan will use the Napthine Government’s record investment in large-scale infrastructure projects as a springboard to create a diverse, highly skilled and productive workforce that will underpin a strong economy for decades to come. “This is a clear 6-point plan that builds on Victoria’s strengths and capitalises on the opportunities presented through the Asian Century,” Mr Ablett said. “The plan will focus on skills, manufacturing, infrastructure, services, the digital economy and international engagement.” Premier Denis Napthine said over the last three and a half years the government has built a strong foundation for Victoria’s future. “There are now 100,000 more people employed than when we came to ofﬁce and since 2010 we have also enabled 800,000 people to enrol in 1.8 million courses,” Dr Napthine said. “On top of this, we have invested in the largest public infrastructure program seen in Australia in more than 70 years.” MORE INFO: growingjobs.vic.gov.au

Over the next four years the Napthine Government will: spend $5.2 billion to deliver training for 850,000 Victorians, plus 60,000 new apprenticeships invest an additional $121.4 million to support young people and adults who are changing jobs, and create a Future Skills Fund to create skills centres across Victoria commit $274 million to grow Victoria’s manufacturing sector invest more than $120 million to grow and develop service sectors such as our biotechnology industry, our design and innovation capabilities and our international education markets create a new $30 million Manufacturing and Innovation Technology Fund

The Napthine Government is the only choice with a real plan, with real investment that will lead to real jobs for Casey’s families.

EDUCATION AND SKILLS: THE FACTS The Napthine Government is providing more opportunities to access education and training than ever before.

Weâ€™re delivering for Victorians:

Former Labor Governments repeatedly left the education system in a shambles. In 1992, Labor left a $650 million backlog in maintenance, which the Kennett Government then had to fix. They did so, leaving a zero backlog of maintenance in 1999.

* From 2015, the government is providing $42.5 million to replace the Education Maintenance Allowance.

Following the statewide audit of school maintenance buildings in 2012, and after 11 years of Labor, Victorians were again left with a $420 million maintenance backlog.

* $5.5 billion directly to Victorian government schools, which is an extra $258 million on 2014.

* In 2015, over 700 government schools and more than 250 000 students will benefit from $34.5 million, and non-government schools will benefit from $8 million of special funding to help disadvantaged students.

* The 2014-15 budget includes a massive $350 million over the forward estimates for students State Member for South Eastern with disabilities and $273 Metropolitan Region, Inga Peulich million to support students with told State Parliament that if Labor disabilities. did not waste money between The Napthine Government is 1999 and 2010, Victorians would delivering a record $9.2 billion be able to see those wasted funds into upgrading more school for school education in 2014-15, $1 billion more than Laborâ€™s last buildings. budget in 2010-11.

The former Labor Government reformed the system back in 2009, opening up TAFE funding to competition by the private sector and registered training organisations (RTOs), which was then condemned by the Australian Education Union. In terms of spending for training we are providing $1.2 billion a year compared to just over $800 million in 2010 under Labor. We have increased that funding by 50 per cent. TAFE funding has increased from $487 million to over $600 million. Somehow Labor has concocted the view that an increase in funding from $808 million to $1.2 billion is a cut to the system. Since coming to office the Victorian government has delivered investments in

vocational education and training (VET) which have resulted in an increase in enrolments from 426 900 in 2010 to a massive 645 000 in 2013. We have also delivered: * $30 million package over two years for reskilling automotive supply chain workers * 43 percent increase in the number of Indigenous students in training * 58 percent increase in the number of students with a disability in training * 109 percent increase in the number of CALD students in training.

A CHERISHED family dog which trapped itself inside a car engine for more than half a day has been miraculously rescued by Narre Warren firemen. Ollie, a four-year-old Spoodle, fled his owner’s Berwick property on Monday after being spooked by the thunderstorm that brought Melbourne to a standstill, and sought refuge in the engine compartment of a nearby car where he was stuck for 14 hours. Owner Caroline O’Reilly said she didn’t realise Ollie was missing until she returned home from work around 2.30pm on Monday. After a frantic search Ms O’Reilly heard Ollie whimpering from a nearby garage, and soon discovered the dog had climbed through the engine mount of a neighbour’s car and got himself stuck inside. Following several failed attempts to pull Ollie out, Ms O’Reilly contacted the Narre Warren CFA who responded to the call about 5.10pm. Ms O’Reilly said she had feared for Ollie’s life. “It could have been a different outcome,” she said. “I did start to panic a little bit, I thought he’d stopped breathing, but all was good. “I was very relieved. “I’m very grateful to the CFA, they did a great job.” It’s also understood the neighbour had unknow-

ingly tried to start the car earlier that day but couldn’t because Ollie had chewed through wires in the engine. The RACV were called and got the car started but also had not discovered Ollie. In what proved to be a miraculous stroke of luck, Ms O’Reilly said the neighbour was told to work from home due to the storm and didn’t end up driving the car. Narre Warren CFA First Lieutenant Travis Carter was one of seven firefighters on the scene who helped successfully rescue Ollie, but said the preliminary outlook was grim. “We were very concerned about his health; we didn’t have high hopes when we were working on it,” he said. “But when we got him out his tail was wagging, and the owner held him and he looked like a happy dog. “We’ve had a few animal call-outs, but the engine compartment is a first for me.” Mr Carter said it took the brigade 35 minutes to rescue Ollie, eventually extricating him through a gap at the top of the engine compartment. The Dandenong CFA rescue team were originally called to the incident but ultimately weren’t required. See page 11 for more on how Monday’s thunderstorm caused chaos across Casey, and closed down the Monash Freeway.

Resident Jan Ketcher enjoyed a ride on a Harley at the celebrations. 28756

Milestone marked FIDDLERS Green Retirement Village celebrated its 30th anniversary with music, a bowls tournament, food and motorcycle rides. More than 200 people, including the residents, staff, their families and friends celebrated the event in Berwick. They enjoyed an array of activities including a Devonshire tea, sausage sizzle, animal farm, a roving jazz band, a bowls club tournament, face painting and Harley Davidson rides. Assistant Village manager Nicole Whiting said everyone raved about the event. “It was such a great day,” she said. “All the residents loved the Harley rides around the block, given by the manager Lauren Simp-

son’s husband Ash. They were all ticking it off their bucket lists.” Anna Sabatino, who has been a resident at the home for 30 years, had the honour of cutting the birthday cake. Also in attendance was the longest serving staff member Annette Berrand who has been working in administration for 30 years. “I think we have so many long serving staff and residents because Fiddlers Green is a great place to live and work,” Ms Whiting said. “The staff really get involved with the residents.” Ms Whiting said staff and residents were looking forward to their annual fete, which would be held on 15 November and was opened to the public.

The Buddhist Sakymuni Sambuddha Vihara Choir performed at the Casey Multi-faith Network's seventh annual gathering.

Faith’s harmony lies in diversity

Siya Sairam from the Bharath Kalanjali Dance School also performed on the night.

THERE is harmony in diversity. This is what Casey Multifaith Network stalwart Pam Mamouney was reminded of when she oversaw the group’s seventh annual gathering, which was held at Nossal High School in Berwick on Thursday 23 October. A total of 220 people packed out the auditorium and were treated to a plethora of performances from a wide-ranging mix of cultural groups. “Around 25 young Ahmadi Muslim children sang our na-

tional anthem and the audience stood and joined in,” Ms Mamouney said. “In these troubled times this really touched the hearts of many people who later praised them and said it was a highlight. “A Buddhist youth choir dressed in gleaming white outfits also sang for us, from the Sakymuni Sambuddha Vihara Temple in Berwick.” Other performances for the evening included singing by a 90-voice Samoan choir and a special dance by Siya Sairam

from the Indian Bharath Kalanjali Dance School, as well as many others. State politicians Brad Battin, Judith Graley, Luke Donnellan and Inga Peulich attended the evening, with a keynote address delivered by then Casey mayor Geoff Ablett. Well-known local musician and Buddhist teacher Andrew Williams emceed the evening and also led a group-rendition of the multi-faith network’s musical anthem One People.

Anger over missing dead pet By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A BERWICK resident who said her dead pet cat was treated like “garbage” by the council has demanded to know why she wasn’t notified by the City of Casey about its death. Carolynn Smart’s cat, Noodle, went missing on Sunday 12 October and is believed to have been hit and killed by a car which didn’t stop on Domain Drive. After more than a week of searching for Noodle with her partner Adam, and delivering 200 flyers throughout

the local neighbourhood, Carolynn said she was contacted by a woman who claimed she saw the cat get hit, and then contacted the City of Casey about the incident. Eight-year-old Noodle was registered and microchipped, but was not wearing a collar at the time she went missing. “A lady living nearby saw it happen and contacted the council who assured her that if the cat was microchipped the owner would be contacted,” Ms Smart said. “The council collected her on Mon-

day 13 October. Central Animal Records have confirmed that she was not scanned. “I have since been informed that the City of Casey does not scan dead domestic animals for microchips. “I was not notified by the council and have not had the chance to bury my companion. She was treated like garbage. “I have paid her registration for eight years and the council does not have the decency to scan and make a call.”

Casey Roads and Construction manager Wayne Mack said: “Where it is possible” council will scan deceased animals for a microchip”. He said it was not possible for all animals to be scanned due to the injuries they sustain, the availability of scanning equipment and the occupational health and safety requirements of the collecting officer. “The City of Casey has responded to 199 requests to collect dead animals from the roadside this year, and undertakes pro-active collection when needed,” he said.

“While the council endeavours to identify pets and contact owners, this can often be difficult due to the nature of the injuries sustained and if the animal is not wearing a registration collar. “Pet owners are urged to ensure their cats and dogs are micro-chipped, registered with the council and wearing the visible registration tag on their collar. “This is the most effective way for the council to contact pet owners in the unfortunate event their pet goes missing.”

Seniors fear crossing road By BRIDGET SCOTT A MEMBER of the Hampton Park Senior Citizens group says members “have their hearts in their throats” when they attempt to cross Pound Road in Hampton Park. Neil Sheppard from the Senior Citizens group said this has been an ongoing issue for around 16 years. As a result, his group has lobbied for a push-button pedestrian crossing across Pound Road, near Narellen Drive. “We are petrified someone will be injured or worse,” he said. “It’s dangerous at any time.” Mr Sheppard said it was a big deal for members of his group who used motorised scooters or were vision im-

paired, and said he had also seen children using a drain nearby to cross the road. “It’s not only an issue for seniors,” he said. He said the group had felt a “lack of support” for their cause from different levels of government. “Residents would like a controlled crossing in Pound Road,” he said. “It’s a multi-directional road and trying to get across it at any stage is dangerous.” He said the group prepared a petition for the City of Casey council last year which they said went to VicRoads. City of Casey Election Advocacy spokesman Cr Sam Aziz said that the council was aware of some local residents' concerns regarding difficulty crossing Pound Road near the

Hampton Park Senior Citizens Facility. “The council has been advocating on behalf of the community for a pedestrian crossing to be installed at this location,” he said. “The council has raised the issue with VicRoads and also with the Minister for Roads on a number of occasions and has facilitated meetings between representatives of the Hampton Park Senior Citizens Club and VicRoads as recently as July this year.” He said no funding had been committed for delivery of this project and the council would welcome it from either party. VicRoads Metropolitan South East Region director Adam Maguire said VicRoads had undertaken research to see where a pedestrian cross-

Shaken, not deterred By BRIDGET SCOTT THE glamour of the occasion couldn’t hide the dark reality that is family violence when Windermere hosted an awareness-raising cocktail party last week. In the lead-up to November’s White Ribbon campaign, the Casey-based organisation brought together about 50 women for its inaugural Sip In Style function at Mon Bijou Penthouse in Flinders Lane. The evening was designed to highlight the services offered by Windermere, which is just one of the Casey organisations that are on the front line of helping families afflicted by family violence. The guest speakers were two women with very different life experiences: international model and jewellery designer Samantha Wills and domestic violence survivor Carla Gagliardi. Ms Gagliardi lost her home and her job after her former fiance assaulted her leaving her hospitalised. She and her son are now on the path to a new life thanks to the Windermere’s help and support.

In contrast, Samantha Wills shared her story of success building an international jewellery design business. From humble beginnings at a Sunday market, Ms Wills’s designs now adorn the likes of Alist celebrities Drew Barrymore, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Ms Wills said that as a young adult growing up in Port Macquarie, “she didn’t fathom that you could make a living out of doing something creative”. As her business grew she found herself booked by friends several nights a week to host jewellery parties. She would then zip around the area to visit strangers and see if they wanted to purchase her home-made creations - cash only. After her name became more widely known, Ms Wills quit her retail job and made it her mission to “create a brand that had a story to tell”. Ms Wills said she was a strong advocate for women’s issues and donated a number of pieces of jewellery as raffle prizes. Windermere chief executive officer Lynette Buoy said the sta-

Windermere chief executive officer Lynette Buoy, international model and jewellery designer Samantha Wills and past Windermere client Carla Gagliardi. Samantha and Carla were guest speakers at Windermere’s Sip in Style this month. 129878 tistics relating to family violence were startling. “One person dies every week across Australia as a result of family violence,” she said. “We feel this is just too much.” She spoke about a range of

Windermere’s early intervention programs and other services available to the victims of domestic violence . “We are working in schools around gender equity, challenging stereotypes, which happen as a result of being around fam-

ily violence,” she said. “We also support kids, provide counselling and more.” Next week the News launches its 2014 White Ribbon campaign with a moving story on Carla Gagliardi’s brave fight to reclaim her life.

Police probe launched after girl killed in Hume horse carrier smash A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl from Narre Warren has died after a tragic crash on the Hume Freeway last week. Police are currently investigating the collision in which a white Mitsubishi Pajero four wheel drive, carrying six Narre

Warren occupants, hit a green and white Isuzu horse carrier on Thursday 23 October. It’s believed the four wheel drive was travelling south on the freeway at Locksley, north of Seymour, when it blew a rear tyre, causing the driver to lose

control of the vehicle. The car is then understood to have rolled several times before hitting the horse carrier, which was also travelling south. Three girls, an adult female passenger and the male Mitsubishi driver were flown to the

13 John Street Pakenham VIC (03) 5941 1622

Royal Children’s Hospital with serious injuries. The six-year-old girl died at the hospital on Friday 24 October. The sixth Mitsubishi occupant, an adult male, accompanied the group to the hospital.

The driver of the horse carrier, a 46-year-old Pakenham woman, was not injured. Anyone who witnessed the crash is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

POLICE do not believe three grass fires within 24 hours of each other in the City of Casey are connected. The first occurred on Friday 24 October around 11.50pm in Hampton Park. Police believe young children have lit the fire which burnt grass between Laura Drive and Kirkwood Crescent. Both police and CFA crews attended and a witness has told police that they saw a “silver people mover” in the area around the time of the fire. The next fire occurred around 4.20am on 25 October at a reserve off Bonyalla Drive in Cranbourne West. Police believe this fire was also suspicious and the CFA attended. Police suspect children have lit a fire underneath the playground at this reserve with all of the equipment burnt and is now inoperable. Less than an hour later at around 5am, a fire occurred in Doveton between Lillypilly Avenue and Myrtle Grove. It was lit on a rubbish pile and also caught on to a fence. Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

AS ANOTHER state election looms, I was delighted to see our former mayors Geoff Ablett and Amanda Stapledon stand for local state seats in the Casey area. As a former councillor for the Cranbourne township, I think it is vitally important to have that local knowledge and appreciation for local issues that only local government can give you. Geoff and Amanda have that experience, having represented their ridings and the City of Casey for a number of years. Geoff has been a great advocate on behalf of his riding on issues of public transport, sporting facilities, education and local business, and is passionate about his local area. Amanda, like Geoff, has served her riding wonderfully well, particularly on issues such as health, transport, employment, not forgetting what she is extremely passionate about people with disabilities. There is nothing like local knowledge when representing one’s area and, as I see it, Geoff and Amanda have that quality and a passion for the city they live in. I am sure if elected to State Parliament they would represent us with enthusiasm and honesty, not only in local issues but also in the broader issues that confront our state. I wish them well in their respective seats in the coming election. Peter Giles, Cranbourne.

Rates of payment ON BEHALF of the ratepayers of the City of Casey, we have raised three questions with the council: 1. How much of ratepayers’ money was paid for the out-of-court settlement regards the sexual harassment case against the CEO of the City of Casey Mike Tyler? 2. How much of ratepayers' money was paid to Ben Price (Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator)? 3. How much of ratepayers' money was paid to Guy Sebastian for the naming and opening ceremony of the Casey Cultural Precinct? A reply from the excutive assistant to Mr Tyler, Sue Jolly, asked us to contact the director of Corporate Services Sally Curtain who stated that, unfortunately, each of the questions above related to the matter to which commercial confidentiality apply and it was, therefore, inappropriate to comment further. Ms Curtain once again referred us to Rob Pedder (Ombudsman-Casey Council) who once again declined to comment on these issues. This beating about the bush was annoying, so we emailed the Local Government Investigation and Compliance Inspectorate for answers. Melissa Haddon from the inspectorate replied stating that these matters do not fall under the jurisdiction of the inspectorate as they do not breach the Local Government Act. We ratepayers have a right to know why council is hiding behind commercial confidentiality. They must understand that ratepayers are paying their fat salaries and as such we have a distinct right to know how the council spends million and millions of dollars of our money We do not need a council that is not straightforward in all its dealings and cannot answer to the community that it is elected to serve. Come on all ratepayers, stand up and be counted. This is our right as ratepayers. It is our hard-earned money that the council misuses and hides under the guide of commercial confidentiality. We want an answer to these three questions from the City of Casey council. All in all, councils are a drain on all ratepayers across the country. Dunstand Girton and Louis Kotsiras, Hampton Park.

Socially speaking Re: Council demands legal costs Mr Richardson may be challenging... but council should not bankrupt the poor guy.... They could have easily blocked his emails and simply answered the two questions everyone is allowed to ask at a council meeting.... Give him a break and allow people of all intellect to engage with elected reps and public servants as they see fit. They are not a law unto themselves and are actually supposed to work for everyone and be a tolerant council. Julia, via web.

at Cranbourne South Primary School. Fellow neighbours in Botanic Ridge, what we should all be doing is banding together and shaming this State Government that after four years has yet to buy land in our estate to build a school as they promised us four years ago. They have now set us back 10 years. Nancy, via web.

We do not see why the council had to spend so much ratepayers' money for this discrimination claim. We know a friend who was also removed from a council meeting by security personnel when he posed a simple question to the mayor who said that he had given himself a salary increase. For this question he was removed from the meeting hall by force. Not fair. Dunstan, via web.

I'm thinking it will be about time all us Botanic Ridge residents start looking into a class group action against Casey council and the developers in the area as all we have been given in the last few years is nothing but lies and deception from both parties. Besides, since our massive rate rise last year, all I see is that other suburbs get projects done, but yet all we get is half-a***d park maintenance with trees that lean on angles after strong winds blow through. Pete, via web.

Re: School shift pledge I agree with Joe Kelly, Cranbourne South Primary School has gone to waste over the last four years. The State Government have not invested a red cent to upgrade our school, the State Government had no plans to upgrade our school which is located next to a bottle shop and, yes, we have the odd drunk walk into our school grounds during school hours. The State Government have not even purchased land in the Botanic Ridge Estate where I live for a new primary school. This decision to move as an interim is a very good decision for our students

This is appalling!! Joe Kelly has been very underhanded in his endorsement of this ridiculous idea. This is a Band-Aid only!! I’m sure Joe is patting himself on the back, believing he has done the right thing for the Cranbourne South community, how can moving the school to Cranbourne West be right? There are many very unhappy people in regards to this announcement that was never discussed with the school community, despite what articles say!! Shame on you Jude Perera, shame on you Mr Kelly!!

better services to Fountain Gate for a “very long time”. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan hit back at the government’s pledge. “Over the last four years the government has done nothing to improve the connectivity of buses in the region - now on the eve of an election they promise these services,” he said. “Until the first promised bus service runs the community should be sceptical that the government will deliver on these promises. “Public transport has been forgotten about in the southeast, and this government’s poor track record speaks for itself.”

THE State Government has promised to increase the bus services at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre, if successful in next month’s election. Premier Denis Napthine visited the shopping centre on Tuesday to make the pledge, which would see the Route 842 bus, which travels from Endeavour Hills Shopping Centre to Fountain Gate, provided hourly from 9am to 5pm. The 842 Route only operates three return services on weekdays, and travels via Heatherton Road, Hallam North Road, Thomas Mitchell Drive, John

Fawkner Drive and McMahon Boulevard. “There will also be 14 return trips on Saturdays between around 9am and 5pm and five return trips on Sundays between approximately 9am and 2pm, giving people plenty of options to take the bus for weekend shopping or entertainment,” Dr Napthine said. “The precise timetable for the expanded 2015 service comes after community consultation.” Narre Warren North Liberal candidate Amanda Stapledon, who also attended the announcement, said Casey residents had been “crying out” for

New mayor’s steady course By BRIDGET SCOTT NEW City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland has joked there will be ‘no challenges’ during his term in the role and that he was looking forward to the year ahead. Councillor Morland said he hoped for “one direction” and “harmony” during his term and would be quick to alleviate any problems which arose. Cr Morland has been a councillor in the area since 1992 having previously been on the former City of Berwick. He was also mayor of Casey in 20012002 “When you put your hand up to be a councillor you always have aspirations to be mayor,” he said. “In my 22 years on council I have put my hand up two or three times.” Cr Morland was elected mayor in a unanimous appointment on Monday night after he was nominated by fellow Councillor Sam Aziz. Cr Morland said he had sat on seven other councils but that the “City of Casey is one of the best,” he said. “We’ve got the best council we’ve had in the past 20 years,” he said. “There are a good number of young people and a good number of experienced.” City of Casey councillors took it in turns to congratulate the new mayor and all of them were confident that their coun-

est city,” he said. “I am also thrilled to lead the commencement of construction of the $125 million Casey Cultural Precinct in mid-2015, Casey’s largest ever infrastructure project.” Cr Morland said he believed the best trait he would bring to the position of Mayor was his passion to “always lead us on the path forward.” “We all need to be on the same page and work in the one direction,” he said.

1159404-PB43-14

MP signs up for workers NARRE Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said his signing of the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) pledge typifies his party’s commitment to Casey businesses. Mr Donnellan signed the pledge, along with Gembrook Labor candidate Collin Ross, during a visit to the Dana Australia factory in Hallam on Tuesday. The company supplies driveline products, power technologies and service parts for light and heavy duty vehicles. The pledge “affirms” the

signee’s “support for the AMWU campaign for local manufacturing content in State Government procurement”. Mr Donnellan said his signing of the pledge went hand-inhand with the party’s Back to Work policy. “Times are tough. We need to get Victoria back to work,” he said. “Seventeen per cent of workers in my electorate work in manufacturing which is struggling under immense pressure.” Mr Donnellan said more local goods and services meant “better employment opportuni-

ties for families across Casey.” He said Labor’s Back to Work policy promises the party will set up a $100 million fund to provide payroll tax relief to companies hiring unemployed youth, the long-term unemployed and retrenched workers. Narre Warren North Liberal candidate Amanda Stapledon questioned Labor’s muchvaunted commitment to jobs for local residents. “The best jobs pledge that Luke Donellan and the ALP can sign is a pledge to build the East West Link which will create 6700 jobs,” she said.

Truck crash causes highway chaos A TRUCK accident which occurred due to Monday’s wild weather forced traffic to go into gridlock on the Monash Freeway this week. A truck jack-knifed around 8am on Monday on the freeway, about 300 metres east of Hallam-Belgrave Road, after the driver used his brakes. Senior Station Officer from Hallam CFA Stephen Keating attended the accident and said the truck had a large trailer on the back and managed to avoid colliding with any other vehicles.

“The driver himself did an amazing job, or had good fortune, to not hit any other vehicles,” he said. The CFA officer said the truck slid off the road and into the centre median strip. “He then hit the wire rope barrier which stopped him from hitting the incoming traffic”, Mr Keating said. The truck was empty at the time and Mr Keating said the emergency crews’ main concern at the time was leaking diesel fuel and oil which were heading straight for the drain-

age system. “The Hallam Hazardous Material team attended the scene and were able to use equipment to stop any further fuel or oil getting into the stormwater drains,” he said. “As well as that, we used other equipment to plug tears in the bottom of the tank to stem the flow of oil and diesel.” All of this had to be done before crews could attempt to move the vehicle. “It caused some real traffic issues, but we couldn’t have got it out of that position,” he said.

EIGHTY members met on Wednesday 22 October. Before plans were made for 2015, the group asked members for feedback on what they would like to see different, or better, and what new ideas they can come up with regarding activities, trips and social interaction with other seniors' clubs. In fact, a group of members visited Hampton Park Seniors at their Aging Positively Festival Day on Thursday 23 October. Door prizes were won by Marion Crombie, Shirley Hemmings, Ada Arbon and Jean Neave.

A SECOND team from Fountain Gate Secondary College is set to compete in the future problem solving World Championships next year. The school’s new problem solving team, named ENGAGE, won the National Championships earlier this month and has now booked a place at the World Championships in Iowa in 2015. It comes just months since the school’s previous problem solving team, EPIC, placed second in this year’s World Championships, also held in Iowa. Teacher and coach of the team Stephen Hughes said a huge cheer erupted at St Leonard’s College in Brighton, where the national competition was held, when ENGAGE was announced as the winner in the middle school division. “When they announced us, the students all screamed,” he said. “There were about 1000 students there in total. “There’s a whole range of different competitions in the program, one is creative writing, there’s also performance and hypothetical situations, as well as community problem solving. “We’re all really excited and very proud.

Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley, far left, met with the successful Fountain Gate Secondary Future Problem Solving team and staff, from left, assistant principal Jodie Doble, Nada Mandic, Evangaline Russell, Lauryn Blewett, Jason Varley, Shannon Watson, Natasha Harris and coach Stephen Hughes. “A lot of hard work was put into the project. It’s gratifying considering all the work the students put in. “They weren’t expecting to win because we didn’t know what the other people had submitted.” ENGAGE, which is focused on community problem solving, consists of seven Year 8 students whose project revolves around giving their

peers access to careers information at a much earlier age. This includes an idea to move the office of the school’s career adviser out of the VCE centre and into a more accessible location for younger students. During the National Championships weekend of 17 to 19 October, the students were required to partic-

ipate in a range of activities including a special opening ceremony, a group presentation and organise their own booth at the competition fair. “It’s very exciting from the school’s point of view,” Mr Hughes said. “We certainly announced that we had won at our staff briefing. The staff were genuinely very excited. “There’s a certain pride that comes with this. It’s something people are proud of and we talk about it quite a lot.” ENGAGE - Everyone Needs Goals And Great Education - will now focus on raising funds for its tilt at the international trophy next year. “We’re focused on Iowa now and the challenge is to raise the project to an international standard,” Mr Hughes said. “The students are looking to reach out further into the community and share their insights and findings with other schools, and local government and state government. “The project is all about getting career programs to kids at a younger year level because the students feel that at Years 7, 8 and 9 they want to know about careers but it’s something that doesn’t seem to be infused in kids until Year 10.”

ADAM Keating always wants to “get out and have go”. These are the words of his Endeavour Hills dad, Mick, who on Sunday 19 October took his son fishing with motorcycle icon Casey Stoner and fishing TV personality Paul Worsteling as part of the popular Mates Day on the Bay event near Patterson River. The annual event, started in 1999 by the Futurefish Foundation and hosted by Lynette and Trevor Hogan, provides people with disabilities with an opportunity to enjoy their morning fishing in Port Phillip. Adam, 21, suffers from a mild intellectual disability and arthrogryposis - congenital joint contractures in the muscles below his waist - which makes him unable to stand up without leg splints. “He gets out there and has a go, he plays wheelchair basketball,” Mick said. “He likes to do things; it’s just good for him. “I’ve always taught him to have a go at something, try it and if you don’t like it, that’s fine.

“Adam encourages others, too, he’ll tell them 'well done’ and that sort of thing.” But even considering how outgoing Adam is, even in his wildest dreams the young man wouldn’t have pictured himself on a boat and fishing with Casey Stoner. “He was just blown away,” Mick said of his son. “Casey was brilliant and Paul was a good host on the boat and made sure all the lines were out. “It was really good. Casey was a good laugh.” And Mick said without the help of the all the volunteers who assist with the event, Mates Day on the Bay wouldn’t be as successful as it continues to be. “So many volunteers put in their time, it’s just amazing,” he said. “To see the pleasure these kids and adults get from it, they don’t even have to catch a fish, just to be there is fantastic for them. “The volunteers do a tremendous job. The people who provide their boats and their time, all the bait and tackle, these are the people who make it work.”

Mates Day on the Bay was a great success earlier this month. From left, Casey Stoner, Adam Keating, Paul Worsteling and David Kramer from the Futurefish Foundation on board the iFish Picture: GARY SISSONS boat. 129471

A NARRE WARREN-based Ahmadiyya Muslim has expressed his agony after learning of the fatal shooting of his younger brother in Pakistan this month. Latif Alam Butt, 62, was shot dead by unknown assailants on 15 October near his home in Kamra, Pakistan, in what is believed to be another targeted attack on a person of the minority Ahmadi faith. His elder brother Mahmood Alam Butt, who fled Pakistan where the Ahmadiyya faith is outlawed for the City of Casey in 2012, said he was devastated to learn of his sibling’s death. He said his brother, a retiree from the Pakistan Air Force, was understood to be walking with his son when he was fatally shot. “We are in complete shock and cannot express our grief of the loss of our very dear brother in words,” Mr Butt said. “He was a part of my body and it looks like I have lost half of it. “I feared this attack because he was a prominent Ahmadiyya follower in that area but I never wanted my fears to be true.” In June the News reported on Berwick-based Ahmadiyya Muslim Waheed Ahmad Chatha, whose cousin was also shot dead in Pakistan in what was also believed to be a targeted attack. Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria spokesperson Aziz Bhatti said the group was grieving for the loss of another “innocent and law abiding Ah-

Ahmadi Muslim Alam Mahmood Butt is grieving the loss of his younger brother Latif Alam Butt, who was shot dead in Pakistan this month. madiyya Muslim”. “The community members went to Mr Mahmood’s place and tried to console the family members,” he said. “Whenever and wherever an Ahmadi Muslim is killed the whole community feels the pain and that is in our DNAs, we can’t help it. “We all feel the pain of our community members.” It’s understood Mr Mahmood’s family will be meeting with Holt MP Anthony Byrne on Friday to discuss the death of his brother. Mr Byrne has previously

praised the efforts of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association and highlighted the faith’s persecution around the world in a speech to Federal Parliament earlier this year. “Anthony Byrne is particularly keen on a human rights front and knows about the community’s sufferings in Pakistan, Indonesia and in many other countries,” Mr Bhatti said. “He has already spoken about us in national Parliament and he’s a great support for us. “He always approaches us and he has once again assured his full support on the Ahmadiyya persecution issue.”

A dedicated mum By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A DEDICATED mother who is passionate about raising the awareness of disability services has been awarded the inaugural La Trobe Community Award. Michelle Jankovic from Berwick was given the award by La Trobe MP Jason Wood at a special ceremony on Saturday, 18 October at which she was recognised for her valued service to the disability community through her self-made business Helping Hand is Here. “I am truly thankful for this wonderful recognition,” Ms Jankovic said. “Every day I walk in the joy knowing I want to make a difference, I want to help an individual, I want to make someone else’s life a little easier from what I have lived and learnt through my experiences with disability.” Ms Jankovic, whose 12-year-old son Bailey has mild cerebral palsy, found it difficult to find extra support for her son once he entered primary school. To fill the gap she saw widening beneath her very feet, Michelle started up Helping Hand - a disability services workshop which aims to better inform primary school families in Casey and Cardinia about the help available to them. Mr Wood said Ms Jankovic was a “great example of what it means to support your community”. “Always willing to help out and passionately pursuing the cause of those who need it,” he said. “She has volunteered for the Royal Children’s Hospital, has been the guest speaker at the Variety gala, is a member of the City of Casey’s Access and Inclusion Advi-

was nominated for the La Trobe prize by friend Sally Woolgar. “I nominated Michelle Jankovic for being an inspiring example of giving selflessly to others,” Ms Woolgar said. “Michelle uses her own challenging personal experiences to be a blessing in the lives of others travelling a similar path. “Driven by her compassionate

love for others in wanting to soften the bumps in their own journey, Michelle created Helping Hand is Here to make it easier for those living with disabilities to navigate through life’s challenges.” The La Trobe Community Award was introduced by Mr Wood this year to recognise those individuals within his electorate who continue to give back to their local community.

Sign of the times By BRIDGET SCOTT LIBERAL candidate for Narre Warren North Amanda Stapledon was left outraged after she discovered three of her campaign signs had been vandalised. Two weeks ago, Ms Stapledon was disturbed to find her signs in Narre Warren North and Hallam had been driven through. “Someone has driven in over the footpath and into the trees area,” she said. “They’ve left the two sides and ripped the guts out.” She said because the sign had been “strongly bolted on” the offenders struggled to remove the middle part and threw the rest of it on the ground. Another one of her signs had been vandalised with texta. Ms Stapledon said she had reported

the matter to police, saying it was a form of bullying. “It’s the kind of bullying that shouldn’t be allowed in the election,” she said. “I am trying to run a positive campaign.’ Ms Stapledon believed it was the work of people who did not want the Liberal Government to be re-elected. “It’s anti-competitive,” she said. “We are all in it to win it and this behaviour shuts people down and restricts them from that opportunity.” “Let’s all run a positive campaign and make it about what our abilities, strengths and policies are.” Two of the damaged signs had been placed along Maramba Drive on Narre Warren North Road, while the other which was drawn on had been placed diagonally across from Hallam Station.

Liberal candidate for Narre Warren North Amanda Stapledon had her campaign signs damaged. 129194 “It is clear that whoever did this is trying to undermine my campaign and stifle my ability to let people know that

I am running,” she said. Ms Stapledon said a similar thing had happened in previous years.

Hall repair pledge is on Scouts’ honour By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE State Government has promised to re-develop the Narre Warren North Scout Hall if it is re-elected next month. Narre Warren North candidate Amanda Stapledon visited the site on Saturday to promise the Liberals would spend $100,000 to upgrade and restore the hall. “This funding will go a long way towards improving facilities at the hall, which is badly in need of upgrading,” Ms Stapledon said. “This is great news for the Narre Warren North Scout Group and the wider community who will have access to much better local facilities.” Crime Prevention Minister Ed

O’Donohue, who joined Ms Stapledon for the announcement, said the funding promise highlighted the partnership between the Napthine Government and Scouts Victoria. “Amanda has listened to the local community about the need to upgrade the Scout Hall, and thanks to her hard work, has delivered this important local election commitment,” he said. The hall is available to the local community for hire, and along with Scouts, hosts faith-based groups, fitness groups and social functions. A spokesperson for Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan declined to comment on the government’s pledge.

Greens set to launch GREENS candidates for the area will launch their campaign this weekend ahead of the State Election on 29 November. Greens candidate for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region, Nina Springle, will host the launch for the Cranbourne, Narre Warren South and Dandenong candidates at the Dandenong Market this Saturday, 1 November. Greens Candidate for Cranbourne Nakaraj Nakak is originally from South India and a mechanical engineer by trade. He aims to improve health, the environment, education and the sustainable economic development of Cranbourne. Lynette Keleher, running for the seat of Narre Warren South, is a former City of Casey councillor and community activist. She has lived in Hampton Park for 28 years and advocates for more jobs, affordable education and housing. She also has a vision for further investment in health and aged care services, public transport and a cleaner, safe environment. John Gulzari is the candidate for Dandenong and was declared to be the first Afghan refugee to run for State Parliament. Mr Gulzari can see potential for Dandenong to become a regional hub and believed in improved rental affordability, effective use of public assets and the local economy.

GOODBYE EMBARRASSMENT

Embarrassment about small, underdeveloped, empty or sagging breasts creates a great deal of anxiety for many women. The emotional pain can be unbearable as we live in a society of body conscious women and every time we go to buy a dress, a cute or glamorous top, a swimsuit, even gym wear, our embarrassment can be overwhelming. In fact many women tell us that they never get undressed with the light on and avoid going on the treadmill at the gym when any guys are there. Breast Implant surgery provides a relatively reliable solution when done by a highly experienced cosmetic plastic surgeon.

Tool up for trade TRADETOOLS, based at Dandenong, knows tools - it should, its been selling a huge range of tools and equipment for trades and businesses for 27 years. Business director and founder Greg Ford said the company’s 27-year-old slogan ‘Serious tools, seriously discounted’ encapsulated the business perfectly. “We have 15 huge stores nationally in which we carry every major brand worth having including our own extensive range of exclusive industrial lines,” Greg said. “We have the broad philosophy of always attempting to be the best industrial tool company anywhere in Australia! “We have always realised that this aim comprises many important elements including a genuine respect for

customers, suppliers and staff in equal measure. “We build upon this by attempting to offer the deepest collection of industrial tool products available anywhere at prices that make our competition all but irrelevant! “The bulk of our profits have always been reinvested back into our business to the extent that we have never used any loan or overdraft facilities of any sort, plus we own outright most of our store buildings and infrastructure. “This very hard won low overhead structure reflects back in us being able to attract, afford and keep the best professional staff in our field whilst still staying famously competitive and innovative. “We are the absolute opposite of too many modern companies that have

a top heavy and expensive overhead structure lording over an underpaid staff base where poor service and rich pricing seems, all too often, to be the accepted norm!” He said the range of tools is what keeps customers coming back. “You will see many products at TradeTools that are totally unavailable through any other company,” Greg said. “In some cases we have helped develop these products from scratch. “In fact, we manufacture in Queensland many of our air compressors under the now famous Renegade Industrial brand. “We also directly import hundreds of containers each year comprising all forms of machinery, industrial power tools and hand tools plus a huge range

Ray, Chris, Paul, Duanne, Simon, Jordan and Chee. 129473 of accessories and consumables. “TradeTools are also the warranty agents for everything that we sell so, in most cases, we can decide and act within a very short space of time should you ever have a problem with anything sourced from us.” The Dandenong store has been operating for three years with a staff that has a combined experience of 50 years

and are focussed on helping trades people, serious home users and anyone else who appreciates fine tools and equipment will be able to find what they need. TradeTools is at 296-298 South Gippsland Highway, Dandenong, and is open weekdays from 7am to 6pm and Saturdays from 8am to 4pm. Phone 8768 7546.

Birthday a blitz for Win By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

Win Wilson with her daughter Sue and her granddaughter Jane. 128740 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS

ENGLISH-BORN Win Wilson was in London when bombs were dropped on the city during World War II. This month she was still alive and well at the Coptic Village Hostel in Hallam and able to celebrate her 100th birthday on 19 October. The following day family, friends and staff gathered at the hostel to hold a special birthday party for Win, which involved a high tea, a lunch and musical entertainment. Win was made the guest of honour at the celebration, which was organised and attended by

her daughter Sue, many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and staff from Coptic Village. Nurse Shirley Temple said Win was shocked and humbled by the celebrations. “She was delighted though a bit baffled that so much fuss was being made over her,” Ms Temple said. “She said ‘why? It’s just another day!’” The century-old stalwart has been a resident at Coptic Village since 2002 where her supportive family visit her regularly. “She’s much loved here, and she always worries about being a bother, she never wants to bother you,” Ms Temple said. “She suffers from very bad arthritis and the only thing she ever wants is a new body, new legs and new hands. “She still walks with a four wheel frame. She’s a fiercely determined lady and a well-loved member of the Coptic community.” Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan also attended the celebrations to congratulate Win on her milestone birthday, while staff from Coptic Village continued to marvel at Win’s passion for life. “She’s originally from London and she does talk to us about her times in London during the war,” Ms Temple said. “She prefers not to go out now, but she comes down to watch others participate in activities. “She’s not letting age stop her from doing things.”

THE Australian Queen Tribute Show is set to rock. The show, which is considered to be one of the best to come out of Australia, is on it’s way to the Cardinia Beaconhills Golf Links early next month. The tribute show is quickly gaining a reputation for stunning audiences with its incredible replication of what many consider the greatest live band in history! Gareth Hill takes on one of the most demanding roles in entertainment - recreating the power of the amazing Freddie Mercury. Gareth’s vocal range, stage antics and amazing likeness to the great man are a sight and sound to behold! Scotty Hotpants is the inimitable Brian May replicating the licks of May in a way to thrill old and new fans of the legendary band. The ever reliable bass player of the band is played by Darryn Schultz - let’s just say that the staid and sensible John Deacon is played to perfection. Queen’s drummer Roger Taylor has always had a style which cannot be mistaken and in this show it is Brad Hodge that takes up the sticks and steps behind the kit to bring the other half of the Queen rhythm section to the crowd. The look, the playing style, the outrageous hair - The Australian Queen Tribute Show has it all. It is performing at the Cardinia Beaconshills Golf Links on Saturday 8 November. Tickets cost $65 per head and include a twocourse meal with the show. The show starts at 6.30pm and bookings can be made on 5945 9210 - please book early.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST Waterman Business Centre’s director Neville Waterman officially launched the Casey Cardinia Business Hub last week. 129501 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Centre for dream support By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE Casey Cardinia Business Hub supports dreams. This is how Waterman Business Centres Director Neville Waterman surmised the purpose of the new Narre Warren facility, established in partnership with Waterman Business Centres and designed to act as a central facility for Casey and Cardinia businesses to collaborate with and support each other. Speaking at the hub’s launch last Thursday morning, Mr Waterman recounted his recent experience with one of the businesses that was already accessing the new facility, illustrating its benefits. “There was a business here

that came in about two months ago, two ladies who have been in corporate work and have never run businesses before but they have been planning and developing this and it was an exciting big move for them,” Mr Waterman said. “They got their access on the Friday and then on the Saturday I happened to walk past their office. “Now we hadn’t furnished it, we hadn’t put anything in there but they had gone and put this little sign in there that said ‘dream’. “And when I stopped and saw that I got a bit emotional, I had conversations with these people and I knew what it meant to them. “I went and sat down and it

struck me that this is what we do - what we do at the Casey Cardinia Hub is we support dreams. “Every single small business all has a dream.” City of Casey Manager Economic Development and Strategic Development David Wilkinson was instrumental in setting up the partnership with Waterman Business Centres, and was MC for the opening. A host of guests also attended the event. The Casey Cardinia Business Hub is located at 64 Victor Crescent, Narre Warren. For more information and memberships, visit www.ccbh. com.au, or contact the CCBH by calling 9876 5432 or emailing info@ccbh.com.au.

Cranbourne West man Anthony Jean has a vision to create some of the best toasted cheese sandwiches known to man and, thanks to a new program, he and his best friend may be one step closer to his dream. Anthony, along with friends Mark and Justine, have been named one of just 10 finalists in the Hahn JumpStart program, an initiative which is designed to encourage groups of friends with a unique idea to get together and share their passion. When Anthony’s friend Mark heard about the program he approached the chef and friend of 25 years. “I’ve had the idea for a while but I wanted to make it a bit more professional,” Mark said. “He came to the party with better ingredients.” The team of three are set to jet off to Sydney for a two-day conference with seminars and mentoring. Anthony said he can’t wait to start the process. “We’re extremely excited to be named a finalist for Hahn JumpStart,” he said. “I’ve been a professional

Anthony and Mark along with other team member Justine, have been named as one of just 10 finalists from across the country in the Hahn JumpStart program. 129750 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS chef for over 10 years so when Mark came to me with the idea to create a toasted cheese sandwich business I was keen to lend my skills and experience to help make this dream a reality.” Mark said the idea of a cheese toastie is a very “nostalgic meal” and when done well it can “hit a good note”. The men said they would locate their business anywhere with plenty of traffic, whether it is a store along Flinders Street or in the heart of a local shopping centre. The ‘Melt’ team are in the running for the first prize as

well as a people’s choice award. Mark said he has lived off cheese toasties his entire life and there would be nothing better than to create a business out of it. “I’ve been smashing them down since I was young,” he said. “I love anything with melted cheese.” The winners of the competition are set to be announced on 3 December and the general public can jump on the website to have their say on who should take home a prize.

Choir on song By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A NEW Casey children’s choir, which started up earlier this year, continues to rise in popularity. The Pure Melodics Junior Choir, based in Berwick, was set up in May by friends Michelle Hansen and Helen Ryan, the former acting as the group’s accompanist and the latter as the musical director. The choir’s next performance will be on Sunday, 16 November at Berwick Secondary College, where the group will sing a variety of Disney classics. “It started with a friend of mine, Helen Ryan, she was a music teacher at a local primary school,” Ms Hansen said. “She’s been singing for a very long time. Between the pair of us we thought there’s no reason we can’t start a choir. “So we got together and started it up. We advertised at local primary schools, with the age range from eight to 12 and as the choir grows we want to expand into older age groups.” Earlier this month the 16-person choir performed at the Springtime Choral Concert with local choir Just Harmony as well as the Carella Choir from Beaumaris.

Irene Taylor and her two cats Fatori and Dashiell are looking forward to the Christmas All Breeds Cat Show in Berwick next month. Sarah McRae, Ocean Stevens and Emma Nguyen are three of the members from the new Pure Melodics Junior Choir, based in Berwick. Ms Hansen said the new choir showed there was room for another impressive musical group in Casey. “We’re a different style of choir, we’re looking at doing not just pure singing but having some fun, learning music and being able to have fun,” she said. “This means there will be a little bit of acting, a little bit of movement and a little bit of dance, “Traditionally choir performances are quite still perfor-

mances - we want our kids to express themselves.” The Pure Melodics Junior Choir is a not-for-profit group and is also now a registered organisation. The Disney Classics concert will run from 2pm to 4pm and tickets will cost children and students $5, concession card holders $10, and adults $15. Tickets are available at www.trybooking.com/GBML, and for more information contact Ms Ryan on 0401 422 607.

Fine feelings for felines By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY cat lovers are in for a special treat next month. The Feline Control Council of Victoria is holding a special Christmas All Breeds Cat Show on Sunday, 23 November at the Berwick Leisure Centre. Feline Control Council member Irene Taylor said the two-hour show would provide fun for the whole family. “Come and see the festivity spring show of cats. "It may not be spring horse racing but the competition is just as fierce to win top placing. “And to be the Supreme Breed Exhibit of the show has the same prestige as winning

the Melbourne Cup. “There will be all different breeds of cats from long hair to short and from big to little. "You will be able to speak to the breeders if you want any information about the breed you are interested in.” Ms Taylor said she believed owning a cat was extremely important for a person’s health and wellbeing. “Pet owners and scientists have acknowledged that owning a pet increases your chance of leading an active, healthy lifestyle,” she said. “The benefits of pet ownership are considerable. "Australia’s Petcare Information and Advisory Service reports that people who own

pets typically visit the doctor less often and use less medication. “Every pet owner knows that a cat quickly becomes part of the family.” The Feline Control Council of Victoria is a Bayswaterbased not-for-profit group which promotes the welfare of cats, as well as the general improvement of the standard, breeding and exhibition of cats. The Christmas All Breeds Cat Show in Berwick will be held from 1.30pm to 3.30pm and entry will cost adults $5 and children $2.50. For more information about the show contact Sue on 5783 1564.

New art spaces … new art By BRIDGET SCOTT THE City of Casey’s young artist’s time to shine is here again, with applications now open for people to display their work in one of council’s three art spaces. Applications for interested artists are now open to showcase their works next year, with two new art spaces just opened in the area. These spaces have been added within the Cranbourne and Doveton libraries. City of Casey councillor Geoff Ablett encouraged all local artists to get involved. “Council encourages artists working in a range of mediums to apply including those who

specialise in painting, print making, photography and drawing or sculpture, ceramics, jewellery and textiles,” he said. He said no matter how experienced the artist, the council has urged them to come forward. “The council will offer three great spaces in 2015, giving more artists the opportunity to display their works in highly visible spaces to the community,” he said. “The Art Space program is one way council is working to showcase the talent and diversity of local artists, as well as strengthen and support the arts community.” Casey’s art spaces are open to both individuals and groups with applications to close on 31 October. The latest exhibition by Monique Clift is also set to be unveiled at the Civic Centre Art Space. This exhibit is entitled Avian and included a wide range of works which feature birds and the natural environment. Councillor Ablett said Monique was a great, local inspiration to other up-and-coming artists in the area. “Monique explores a range of printmaking techniques, creating both delicate and striking works,” he said. “Originally drawn to the patterns and textures of birds and their environments, Monique examines the personalities and rituals of birds and how these qualities can be reflected in human behaviour.” He encouraged local residents to head along and view her work which is displayed at the Civic Centre Art Space, Magid Drive, Narre Warren from 22 October until 5 December. To apply to exhibit art works in one of Casey’s Art Spaces in 2015 or for more information, visit City of Casey’s website www.casey.vic.gov.au/ artspace and download an information pack and application form. You can also call customer service on 9705 5200.

Personal bests under his belt By RUSSELL BENNETT IT’S been a busy three months for Beaconsfield youngster Anthony Johnston. There’s definitely more than meets the eye with this karate kid. In early August he travelled to Perth for the 2014 National Karate Championships, soon after that he was presented his black belt after an intensive three hour grading, and since then he played for the Beaconsfield Junior Football Club in its Under-12 Division 2 South East Juniors grand final against local rivals Berwick. This year provided somewhat of a shock to Anthony’s system on the karate competition front - guided by his own extremely high standards, he wasn’t able to achieve the ultimate success in major competitions. But much of that was down to him fighting as an under-sized bottom-ager in the 12 to 13-year-old category. Still, it was an invaluable learning experience for future tournaments. It’s clear he’s already motivated to come out firing. “I’m going to smash them!” he said with a grin. He still performed exceptionally well throughout the year - including a third placing at the 2014 Oceania Championships in Fiji last month - but he’s outspoken in his aim of achieving the ultimate glory on the big stage next year. Anthony’s black belt is the culmination of the seven years of passion and hard work he has devoted to his craft. The three-hour grading examined everything he’d learnt from his white belt all the way through to the black belt stage. “Anthony’s loyalty and dedication shone through right from when he started - they’re just extraordinary,” said Ralph Martin from Berwick’s Ishinryu dojo, where the youngster is based. On the football front, the hard-nosed midfielder won the most consistent trophy for his side and was in integral part of the Eagles line-up in a season in which he also had to juggle his karate commitments. Anthony wanted to express his gratitude to all the senior instructors, fellow students and their families at the Berwick dojo for all their extended training, support and encouragement throughout the year to help him achieve his dreams. “I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to the coaches, team mates and their families from the Beaconsfield footy club for their understanding and support. “I’d like also to express a special thank you to St Michael’s Primary School, to all my school friends and teachers for their commitment and continued support throughout my last year of my primary school. “Last but not least, thank you to my family for their unwavering commitment and dedication. “Without their determination and strong support throughout the year I could not have achieved my dream. “It’s been an extraordinary year for my family - dad, mum and my brother Kristopher.”

Sunshine reigns on Cougars’ parade By RUSSELL BENNETT THE Berwick City Cougars have slipped to sixth on the Victorian Summer League Baseball Division 2 ladder after an 11-1 home loss at the hands of Sunshine on Saturday. The result came a week after going down 9-4 to Malvern, flying in the face of a strong start to the season in which the Cougars won their first two games. But the only scoreboard pressure the Berwick side could mount against Sunshine came from Alex Clark (a single), while the visitors had a day out at the plate. Jaret Chatwood, Adam Irons and Lane Koski scored doubles, with one each to Chad Galloway, Shannon Hornstra, Rory Meddick, Lewis Weldon and Daniel Wilkie. The weekend’s game featured

the two leading run-scorers to this stage of the Division 2 season Chatwood and Clark. Despite consecutive heavy defeats, Berwick still has a massive up-side, given the excitement surrounding its young core of players. The future definitely looks bright for the boys from Cyril Molyneux Reserve. In other games on Saturday, Berwick City’s reserves went down to Sunshine in a tight tussle 4-2, while the Cougars’ thirds turned the tables with a 13-8 win. The Casey side’s fourths team also enjoyed a dominant victory over St Kilda, 13-3. The Cougars seniors will be on the road this Saturday when they take on the bottom of the table’s winless St Kilda from 3.30pm.

Tayla’s winning bias By RUSSELL BENNETT

Anthony Johnston is a prodigiously talented all-around sportsman. 129876 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT

TAYLA Morison was at school at Cranbourne East Secondary College when she got the phone call that launched her lawn bowls journey into the stratosphere. “It was a dream come true to get the call that I was selected to represent Australia,” the 15-yearold told the News. “I was crying a lot and my friends were all really excited for me because they knew how much it meant. “It just great to know that hard work really does pay off. “To get there and know that I could achieve my dreams was an amazing feeling.” In addition to being named to the Australian under-18 squad made up of the top five bowlers in the country - she competed in the National Lawn Bowls Championships in Darwin where she won both a gold and a bronze medal. She was also recently selected in the Victorian ladies senior team to take on Tasmania at the start of December in the Apple Isle in what can only be described as a whirlwind 2014. She followed her mother into the sport six years ago and now the whole family’s involved. “I think it’s the only sport where you can actually play with Australian and Commonwealth representatives,” Tayla explained. “I’m going away in a few weeks and I’m playing with two Australian representatives and one of them (Carla Odgers) has just come back from the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and she won a medal over there. “Even on Saturdays I don’t think many cricket players can go out and play with Australian representatives, but that’s what we can do with bowls. We just have so many idols we can play against and meet.”

Tayla Morison looks set to have a long and distinguished top-flight lawn bowls career. Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Tayla’s idol is another Commonwealth Games representative Matt Flapper, who she met a year after first representing Victoria. “That was pretty inspirational, that I got to meet him and see that he’s just so down-to-earth,” she said. “He’s really supportive of me too.” As for the notion that lawn bowls is just for the older generation, Tayla couldn’t disagree more. And she’s clearly gone a long way to dispelling the myth. “There are so many young people involved in bowls,” Tayla said. “I’ve been a mentor to little girls of around eight-years-old - they’ve got great actions and they’re awesome. “It’s a sport for everyone - you can start young or old and you’ll have something to do. “Anyone can play but how far you want to go in it depends on how patient you are and your ability to stick to something for a good couple of hours. “It’s just about how mentally strong you are and if you can stick to it.”

Bearing up well By DAVID NAGEL DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION REVIEW - Round 2 BUCKLEY RIDGES v BERWICK A DESPERATE, and in the end, successful bowling change from Berwick (9/311cc) skipper Jarrod Goodes has landed the Bears maximum points against Buckley Ridges (66 and 116) at Park Oval. Defending their imposing score from day one was never in question for the Bears, skittling Buckley earlier in the day, but claiming the most important wicket... number 20... was proving quite elusive in their quest for outright points. Buckley’s Wes Nicholas (8) and Lukas Hoogenboom (15 not out) had kept everything out during their 21-run lastwicket stand, but one ball from Goodes, with just one more over remaining, trapped Nichols in front and the Bears tucked 10-points into the cave.Goodes (4/17) was the pick of the bowlers in the early rout, while Dushan Wickramarathna (5/52) backed up his fine knock from day one (83) to be the second innings destroyer. HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTRICT v CRANBOURNE AN OMINOUS looking Cranbourne (277) has powered through Heinz Southern District (154) at Reedy Reserve. Adam Semmens (56) and Garrick Wiramanaden (36) gave HSD just the start it was looking for, but once their 80-run union was ended... Cranny went in for the kill. The deadliest-duo in the competition, Te Ahu Davis (4/22) and Steve Spoljaric (2/36), once again came to the fore. DANDENONG WEST v COOMOORA A PETER ATKINSON (3/18 and 6/28) master class has steered Dandenong West (228) to outright victory against Coomoora (83 and 56) at Greaves Reserve. Sure... Atkinson had help... from Shaun Weir (4/35) and Jacob Weeks (3/20) but his performance in taking nine wickets for the afternoon was truly outstanding. It’s worth remembering, that Atkinson (48) and Weeks (40) did change the complexion of this match with some late order runs on day one. MORDIALLOC v PARKFIELD MORDIALLOC (8/212dec) claimed

Club at their Peake VICTORIAN SUB-DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION REVIEW - Round 2 ENDEAVOUR HILLS (146) has pulled one out of the fire against Noble Park (138), coming from a seemingly impossible position at the end of day one to roll the reigning premiers at Sydney Pargeter Reserve. Friendless in the betting market (if we had one) after the first day’s play, the Eagles produced a stunning bowling display to pull off an upset victory. Resuming at 1/66, with Sanjeewa De Silva (30 not out) and Marasinghe Perera (26 not out) seemingly in control, the visitors lost quick wickets, De Silva (35) and Perera

(31) gone early on day two, before Chris Pereira (4/43), Vaughan Baxter (3/20) and Shane Peake (2/9) upped the ante even further. Pereira and Baxter swept through the middle order before Peake claimed two of the last three wickets to fall to spark joyous celebrations. The Eagles took a little of the gloss off their victory, slumping to 8/70 in their second innings as Noble Park speedster Rizan Mawzoon (5/37) made it nine wickets for the match. Endeavour Hills travel to Croydon for the first one-dayer of the season this Saturday, while Noble Park host Mt Waverley at Moodemere Street.

The Bloodhounds, who needed just five wickets to complete the outright rout, were held up by Matt Aslett (36) and Tony Payne (22) before Stuey Squires (4/10) ran through the lower order. Chathura Athukorala (3/4 and 4/23) claimed seven wickets for the match and proved too hot for the Bears to handle. NORTH DANDENONG v LYNDALE NORTH Dandenong (6/244) pair Clayton McCartney (80 not out) and skipper Shane Clark (59 not out) combined for an unbeaten and match winning 120-run stand against Lyndale (241). In trouble at 4/56, the visitors relied

on Craig Gunawardana (37) to dig them out of a hole before the talent-laden McCartney and Clark steered their side to victory to make it two from two to start the season. SPRINGVALE SOUTH v HALLAM KALORA PARK SPRINGVALE South (278) locked in its first win of the season after a successful defence against Hallam Kalora Park (157) at Hallam. The home side looked good at times, with Rhys Serpanchy (40) and Ben Hillard (30) leading the way, but it lost wickets in a hurry... and at inappropriate times. Ruwan Kellepotha (4/51), Tim Ford (2/18) and Yoshan Kumara (2/35) were the pick of the bowlers for last season’s minor premiers.

CASEY-SOUTH MELBOURNE (136) is now alone at the foot of the Premier Cricket ladder, the only team not to taste victory after five rounds after going down to Greenvale Kangaroos (4/137) at Gardens Oval. Swans skipper Chris Hall won the toss and elected to bat, a decision that looked to backfire after Victorian wicketkeeper Matt Wade (9) and fellow opener Daniel Watson (9) were both taking the pads off with the score on 18. A steadying, and much-needed, 45-run stand between Michael Wallace (38) and Lachlan Sperling (25) appeared to calm things down, before Norman Vanua (5/47) ran through the Swans’ middle to lower order like a hot knife through butter. Vanua took five wickets on the trot, sinking the Swans who fell from 4/98 to 9/127. In reply, the Kangaroos had little trouble with the Swans’ attack, Brendan Rose (2/36) providing the only highlight with a fiery opening spell. Ben Cox (56 not out) and Jack Shantry (17 not out) steered the Kangaroos home with an unbeaten 74-run stand. The Swans will be looking for

Casey-South Melbourne opener Daniel Watson fell for 9 as the Swans went down to Greenvale Kangaroos on Saturday. The Swans remain winless after five rounds. 128828 Picture: JARROD POTTER their first victory of the season when they host Hawthorn-Monash University at Casey Fields this Saturday.

CREATING a pathway for junior cricketers that is effective, but simple to navigate is part of a plan to build a stronger relationship between the West Gippsland Cricket Association and the Casey-South Melbourne Cricket Club. The pathway to participation for both boys and girls in West Gippsland was a future ideal discussed at a meeting between the two parties last week. General Manager of the WGCA, Rob Hansen, and High Performance coach for Casey South Melbourne, John Hayes, agreed to work towards building a partnership designed to achieve such a goal. “We are the second fastest growing region in Australia yet we have negligible structures and facilities for females to play cricket,” Hayes said. “It is time to lay the foundation for future development for boys and girls in this growth corridor.” As part of the meeting both parties agreed to develop a Memorandum of Understanding that would provide a two-way process of cooperation into the future. This would provide a pathway for talented male cricketers, assist with the development of female participation and provide possible coaching resources for the future for the WGCA. “West Gippsland cricket has evolved a strategic plan to shape its cricket into the future and this partnership will be a vital plank in building the way we allow for the future needs of those who want to enjoy cricket,” Hansen said.

“We need to gather our current resources and, allied with Local Government as well as key stake holders, establish methods to provide for all participants rather than just some as we do at the moment.” Building the relationship between the WGCA and Casey-South Melbourne has been tried before, but had little effect as both bodies have put a premium on looking after their own backyard. Hayes said he was confident that things were about to change. “It’s just common sense that we should both be making the effort to make this work,” he said. “The WGCA has a fresh approach and we as a club need to approach things differently. The bottom line is we want to build junior participation so that it becomes the vehicle for players talented enough to gain state or national selection.” Hansen said the WGCA will shortly put a plan in place that will identify the interest of girls looking to take up the game.

Eyes on high spot By RUSSELL BENNETT and DAVID NAGEL WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCIATION PREMIER UPPER Beaconsfield (184) has top spot firmly in its sights after the second-placed Maroons posted a competitive total against Emerald at Upper Beaconsfield on Saturday. The Maroons clearly still have plenty of work to do to bank the 12 points but if they can stop the Bombers from matching their personal best total this season, top spot beckons, with ladder-leader Cardinia (175) in all sorts of trouble against Pakenham (0/86). New recruits Robert North (60) and Jake Serong (55) were the stars of the show for the Maroons who lost opener Julian Bayard without scoring - leg-before to Bombers speedster Clinton Marsh. An 87-run stand between North and Serong steadied the ship but the Maroons lost their final nine wickets for just 97 runs. Michael Nell was the pick of the Bombers’ attack with 3/30 while Darcy Hellriegel (2/25), Marsh (2/39) and skipper A.J. Walker (2/45) were the other multiple wicket-takers. Merinda Park (7/275cc) produced a recovery of epic proportions against reigning premier Kooweerup at Lakeside Oval. The Cobras were in more trouble than the early explorers at 5/53 after Demon seamers Sam Cole (3/45) and Paul Bright (2/86) ran riot through the top order. But that’s when Anthony Craddock (83) and Jason Pongracic (106) got to work. The young pair set about playing smart, calculated cricket that wasn’t without its share of big hits, but they would come at minimal risk through measured shots. To start with, it was clear Craddock and Pongracic were all about consolidation, but as they found their feet in the innings they also found their footwork at the crease. Craddock and Pongracic ultimately put on 141 - the biggest sixth wicket stand in the WGCA’s top flight since the 150-run stand between Kooweerup pair Shane Dole and Jeff Walsh in 2008/09. Craddock made a stellar 83 and Pongracic a sublime 106 before both were eventually removed by Ron Bright Jr Pongracic’s ton was his first in the WGCA and the first of this season in the Premier Grade.

Crucially, though, after Craddock’s dismissal up-and-coming youngster Caleb Boswell (26 not out) combined with Pongracic for another 69-run partnership to push their side to an impressive total from their 80 overs. Cardinia’s (175) unbeaten start to the season looks certain to end at the hands of Pakenham (0/86), the Lions in a great position to make it back to back victories at Toomuc Reserve. The Bulls had no answer to a nagging approach from Chris Smith (3/33) and Zac Chaplin (2/29), slumping to 5/31, before a 57-run stand between young St Kilda AFL player Arryn Siposs (81) and Travis Welsh (27) slowly started to turn things around. Welsh then became the first of four consecutive wickets to Russ Lehman (4/60), who finally claimed Siposs, the ninth wicket to fall. Pakenham openers Russ Lehman (44) and Chris Smith (32) will resume their innings this Saturday. Tooradin (0/72) will be hunting outright points after a dominant Saturday afternoon against Beaconsfield (107) at Perc Alison Oval. Ash Adams (3/29), Matt Finch (2/11) and Aaron Avery (2/19) combined to rip through the Tigers’ top

and middle orders to have them at one stage 5/55. The home side was eventually rolled in the 58th over for just 107 with opener Angus Bunnell (21) top-scoring. With more than 20 overs remaining in the day’s play, the Seagulls took to their first dig in an aggressive frame of mind with Tom Hussey racing to 47 not out at stumps. Tooradin will resume this week at 0/72 - looking to make light work of the rest of its chase. DISTRICT THE West Indies were famous for playing calypso cricket... not collapso cricket as was the case for SFX Old Collegians (111) against Devon Meadows (7/130) at the college on Saturday. The X-Men, cruising at 4/111, lost a staggering 6/0, their innings finished in just 36.3 overs as the two cellar dwellers chased their first victory for the season. Noel Betreen (66) and Brendan Hunt (29) were the only SFX batsmen to score more than three runs as Ben Hussey (4/35), Lucas Carroll (3/2) and Mick Floyd (2/19) did the damage. Darren O’Brien (34) and Bryce Ingram (21) then played key roles in

steering the Panthers to victory. Officer (7/312), quite simply, pounded the Lyndhurst Vikings at Starling Road as every batsman from top to bottom contributed to their side’s cause. Tommy Marks top-scored with 67 and Brett Reid (52) combined with skipper Shane White (35) for a strong start at the top of the innings while Chris Byrne (35) and David Collins (34 not out) added valuable runs from the lower order. David Spencer (2/37) and Ammar Bajwa (2/73) were the multiple wicket-takers for the Vikings. The match between Cranbourne Meadows (143) and Clyde (1/30) at Lawson Poole Reserve is evenly poised. Clyde’s Kyle Brooke led his sides’ attack with 3/20 while Noel O’Brien (2/16) and Dean Williams (2/20) finished with two scalps apiece. The Cougars will resume this week at 1/30. Pakenham Upper/Toomuc (159) claimed two late wickets to even up its contest against Nar Nar Goon/ Maryknoll (2/30). Luke Gunton (32) and Andy Hilder (27) steered the Yabbies from a precarious 8/88 to set up a competitive total.

Player payments go under the microscope THE Working Party established by AFL Victoria to examine the escalating costs of player payments at community level has provided an update to Metropolitan Community League CEOs and Country Region General Managers (RGMs). The Working Party presented the update at the 2014 AFL Victoria Community Leagues Conference in Healesville and requested League CEOs and RGMs consider a proposed framework addressing the issue. The suggested framework which is still in the development stage includes three major elements: (1) A state-wide salary cap with specific limits for individual leagues.

(2) Equalisation provision(s) - to support implementation of a salary cap. (3) An appropriate enforcement policy. AFL Victoria General Manager Steven Reaper said the Working Party had now asked league CEOs and RGMs to consider how such a framework would function in their league/regions and would consider their feedback before announcing guidelines to be tested in a selection of competitions, without enforcement provisions, in 2015. “It was made very clear at the corresponding conference at the end of last year that the industry had an appetite to tackle this issue,” Reaper said.

“AFL Victoria through this Working Party has examined a range of possible solutions in order to develop a robust and flexible set of guidelines which will seek to halt the escalating cost of player payments and bridge the gap between the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ at community level.” “While we understand the concern across all levels of football regarding these issues and the demand for a quick solution, we are committed to developing a considered set of guidelines and the feedback from League CEOs and RGMs is vital to this approach.” In determining the appropriate framework, the Working Party has considered research derived through an extensive survey completed by

369 clubs across Victoria. “The development of an AFL Victoria-led state-wide solution was backed by 83 per cent of clubs who responded to the survey,” Reaper said. “More than 50 per cent of clubs surveyed also indicated their support of the implementation of a state-wide salary cap despite acknowledging that such a measure creates enforcement challenges.” Reaper said guidelines to be trialled in 2015 would be announced prior to Christmas. “A trial will take place across a selection of metropolitan and country leagues next year and be thoroughly examined before being implemented state-wide in 2016.”

Football and netball representatives from the nine clubs, Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Hampton Park, Narre Warren, Pakenham, ROC and Tooradin, will join the PCNSA Board and AFL South East Region General Manager, Jeremy Bourke, in the first sign of negotiation since the clubs expressed their dissatisfaction with the league and its operations. PCNSA Chief Executive Officer Jeff Jones said it was a positive sign that the meeting was taking place. “It’s important that we are getting all the clubs together to discuss their issues,” Jones said. “Some issues are valid, and some maybe not, but it’s important that we are able to make this presentation to address the clubs’ concerns. “I see it as a positive.” Points raised against PCNSA by the clubs include poor communication, a lack of trust, exorbitant fees, poor strategic direction and a general lack of service and attention.

Sterling effort from the Pines By DAVID NAGEL PINES Cricket Club is one-step closer to playing on the hallowedturf of the MCG after winning the South East Country Region of this season’s Statewide Twenty20 Cup at Pakenham on Sunday. Pines overcame local T20 powerhouse Kooweerup in the morning semi-final and then survived a grand final sized scare from Eildon Park, which had earlier defeated Woori Yallock to make its way through. Pines skipper Jake Prosser said Sunday’s win was great reward for a club that had made a rapid rise in recent years, winning premierships in 2011/12 and again last season to make it back to the top grade in Mornington Peninsula cricket. “It’s great… to win our competition last year, then to come here and take this out, it’s a great effort from our boys,” Prosser said. “Three years ago we were in sub-district in our comp, now we’re up in the top league and playing well in competitions like this, it’s just been a tremendous effort by all the boys.” Prosser is spot on, with Pines having to overcome last season’s Statewide Cup winner Baden Powell and then MPCA champions Mornington just to make it through to this stage. Pines will now head to Traralgon and take on the winner of the Gippsland Region in the quarter-final stage of the competition. Highlights at Pakenham’s superbly presented Toomuc Reserve included a semi-final century from Eildon Park opener Ben Morris, and a brilliant ton from Pines run-machine Harley Peace-Stirling

Harley Peace-Stirling accepts a congratulatory handshake after smacking a quick-fire century for Pines in Sunday’s grand final.

Eildon Park opener Ben Morris smashed an even century against Woori Yallock in Sunday’s semi-final.

in the final. “He was superb again today,” Prosser said of Peace-Stirling. “In our final last year he made 70 off 40 balls and today he just stood up again, he’s just fantastic under pressure and he batted beautifully today. He really set things up.” Eildon Park came hard at Pines in the final, and was on track for

victory until the eventual winners tightened things up late. “We spoke about not bowling like they did, but we did exactly the same,” Prosser said. “We put unnecessary pressure on ourselves but I thought we fought back well. “It wasn’t our best performance but we’ll take the win.”

THE best and brightest junior cricketers from throughout the West Gippsland Cricket Association took on the might of the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association in a series of representative games on Sunday. The games - in the under12s, 14s, 16s and 18s - were spread across Cardinia, to Lang Lang, Tooradin, Cranbourne and Frankston. While the Mornington Peninsula showed its class on the day, West Gippsland showed it could more than mix it on the big stage. It will be fascinating to see if the Peninsula accepts an invitation to take on the West Gippsland seniors prior to Country Week. Playing at Jubilee Park in Frankston on Sunday, the Peninsula under-18s reached 9/148 from their 50 overs. Josh Browne, Trav Wheller and skipper Zac Chaplin claimed two wickets apiece for West Gippsland. Greg Interlandi impressed at the top of the order in a tough day at the office for the West Gippsland batsmen before they were ultimately rolled for 105. At the same venue the WGCA scored 7/147 from its 50 overs. Cody Miller top-scored with 41, with Luke McMaster unbeaten on 26. The MPCA passed their score five wickets down and with five overs left.

Audi A8’s lift in lifestyle By DEREK OGDEN THE Audi flagship, the A8 sedan, has undergone a refit resulting in it now including an impressive arsenal of luxury and technological sales firepower. The shining light of the Audi halo car is the innovative headlamp system which introduces Matrix LED technology in which the high-beam comprises 25 small, individual light-emitting diodes per unit that can be dimmed individually. This enables the headlights to react to oncoming traffic or vehicles in front and blank out light with precision while continuing to fully illuminate the rest of the road. Our test car, an A8 4.2 TDI quattro tiptronic tagged at $249,900, was graced with options including Dynamic Steering ($3550), Night Vision Assist ($5960) and Bang and Olufsen sound system ($14,500), pushing the price to $273,910, to which on-road costs have to be added. This is the largest sedan in the segment and it looks like it. Work has been done on the A8’s limo-like proportions with 130mm being added to its length (now 5.14 metres) and wheelbase (2.99 metres), while the voluminous boot (502 litres, room for four golf bags), with automatic lid, has been revised to make access easier. More shape has been added to the bonnet, single-frame grille and front bumper to give more expression to the exterior. The rear LED lighting has been revised also. Trapezoidal tailpipe tips on each side put finishing touches to the rear. Inside it’s wide open spaces, luxurious surroundings and an air of relaxation. Seats are clothed in quality leather and offer a number of comfort options including ventilation and massage. Leg room is extensive, especially in the rear, as befits a luxury limo. Ambient lighting is a combination of LEDs, light guides, light strips and indirect illumination of the centre console. The driver can set the mood by choosing between colour schemes of Ivory, Polar, or Ruby/Polar and adjust brightness in four zones through the Multi-Media Interface control on the centre console. Information and entertainment are controlled in two sections - MMI navigation plus with MMI touch - and displayed on an 8-inch retractable screen on the upper dashboard. The radio unit combines the functions of tuner and sound system, standard Bose surround sound. A high-end Bang and Olufsen concert-style set-up can be had for a hefty $14,500 premium. The main unit contains additional components, including a DVD drive, two card readers and a 60 GB hard drive with the navigation data. A third of its capacity is reserved as memory for telephone

Audi A8 sedan... a large dose of luxury. and music data. The Audi music interface and Bluetooth interface make it easy to connect mobile devices and cell phones. A pair of 10.2-inch displays are mounted on the backrests of the driver and front-passenger seats, which can each display different content. Rear seat entertainment includes its own DVD drive, a hard drive jukebox, two slots for SD memory cards and a separate Audi music interface for connecting mobile players. It also offers full access to the sound system, TV tuner and MMI navigation plus and is controlled via a separate MMI panel in the rear centre armrest. Sound is supplied via the car’s speakers or two sets of either wired or Bluetooth headphones. Australian A8s are offered with the choice of two turbodiesel engines, a 3.0-litre V6 and 4.2-litre V8. Both meet Euro 6 emission standards. With the V8 of the test vehicle pumping out 283 kW and 850 Nm Audi claims a sprint to 100 km/h from rest in 4.7 seconds on the way to a governed 250 km/h, a surprisingly sporting performance for such a large car. Audi tells us the official fuel consumption has been cut by up to 10 per cent over the previous engines. The maker claims combined fuel consumption of 7.4 litres per 100 kilometres for our test car, yet we recorded 16-plus litres per 100 kilometres in the urban environment, and a much more respectable 6.6 litres per 100 at motorway speeds. Engineers have managed to dramatically reduce engine speed of the V8 diesel to 800 rpm for improved fuel efficiency, while thee addition of AdBlu to the catalytic converter breaks down nitrogen oxides and earn the motor a Euro 6 emission rating. The eight-speed tiptronic transmission enables the lower ratios to be close for sporty

take-off while upper ratios are wider for fuel efficiency. The driver can operate the transmission electronically via the shift lever on the centre console or steering wheel-mounted paddles The Audi quattro permanent all-wheel drive shuffles power between front and rear axles normally 40 per cent front, 60 per cent rear - unless slipping occurs when power is automatically directed to the axle with least slip. The 4.2 TDI also takes advantage of a standard sport differential for the rear axle which shifts power between the rear wheels, for example, in fast bends where the sedan is pushed into the inside. Everything can be combined with the Drive Select system in which the driver can vary the function in five steps - auto, dynamic, comfort, individual and efficiency. The body of the Audi A8 is designed to protect passengers in any type of collision, while an adaptive restraint system protects occupants of different sizes by collaboration between the airbags and the belt force limiters. Audi Pre-Sense safety is available in a range of options, each looking out for unsafe driving conditions and mitigating their effects through sensors and the sedan’s electronic stabilisation control. For more information contact Audi Barry Bourke, 755 Princes Highway, Berwick. Phone 9707 2222. Model range A8 3.0 TDI quattro 3.0-litre diesel four-door sedan: $195,000 (automatic); A8 4.2 TDI quattro 4.2-litre diesel four-door sedan: $249,900 (automatic); A8 L (LWB) 3.0 TDI quattro 3.0-litre diesel four-door sedan: $206,900 (automatic).

with a reversing camera, and guidelines marking the car’s track. Keyless entry has the driver settling into a seat in one of a range of pre-programmed driving positions. Pushing the engine power button results in... silence; the only indication of powering up, the illumination of the word ‘Ready’. The electric motor gets the vehicle off the mark almost instantaneously, thanks to the maximum torque on tap from the word go; the petrol engine chimes in when the car is under way. The CT200h is the first Lexus to incorporate Drive Mode Select, a credit to 21st century automotive technology that can make a sluggish, if ecologically friendly, small car in ‘Eco’ become a road-going all-rounder (Normal), then morph into an exciting hot hatch (Sport) all at the turn of a knob. ‘Normal’ is the default mode and really is middle-of-the-road motoring best left to the computers to helping the car pick its way through the varying traffic conditions of the city CBD and suburbs. On test the CT200h paid dividends by quietly consuming an average of 5.9 litres of petrol per 100 kilometres in town and sipped 3.8 litres on the motorway, the Yokohama ‘dB decibel’ tyres taking the intrusive drumming out of the latter’s concrete contact with rubber. In conditions that cried out for a little more spice to be added to the mix a final twist of the control knob to ‘Sport’ had the hatch making the leap into heightened awareness - the electric motor adding power, the throttle and steering becoming more responsive, the Vehicle Stability and Traction Control taking in fresh orders from the computers to spur on the car to a more athletic performance. A feature that is being taken up by more sat nav systems these days is the ever-so-sensible ding-dong ‘Avon calling’ bell and verbal warning when approaching a 40 km/h school zone, or red light camera. The CT200h obliges with both. All, however, is far from perfection. The dash-mounted screen is susceptible to disturbing reflection in bright sunlight, partially obscuring important information. More work is needed here. Model range Lexus CT200h Luxury: $45,049 (driveaway); Lexus CT200h F Sport: $54,229 (driveaway); Lexus CT200h Sports Luxury $62,389 (driveaway).

tioning, audio settings and standard satellite navigation in the Sports Luxury model, is easily accessed by means of a Lexus Remote Touch Controller, a joystick on the centre console linked to a full-colour display on a screen centrally mounted on the top of the dashboard. This is also the key to Lexus Enform, which when programmed with a location will seek out such things as accommodation on the way with the closest petrol stations. It can even make hotel reservations. Entertainment is in the hands of premium Mark Levinson 13-speaker sound system, digital radio, a DVD player, plus two USB inputs. The Lexus Hybrid Synergy Drive combines two energy sources - a 1.8-litre petrol engine and electric motor - into one efficient and versatile operation, power being put to ground through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Drive Mode Select mates the car with the driver’s mood at the twist of a knob located at the base of the centre stack. EV mode has the car slipping along in silence up to 45 to 50 km/h on electric power alone with interior lighting a soothing blue; ‘Eco’ mode brings in the petrol engine and maintains a relaxed driving style. ‘Normal’ adjusts throttle response resulting in driving suited to city congestion. Switch to ‘Sport’ and everything snaps to attention; lighting turns red and the hybrid meter becomes a tacho as the car morphs into a high performance hatch to match. As well as eight airbags, many of the CT200h safety systems have been lifted from the much more expensive Lexus flagship models, resulting in a five-star ANCAP safety rating. Vehicle Stability Control, for example, uses engine output and braking on each individual wheel, together with traction control, to intervene if it senses the car is skidding due to oversteer or understeer, probably as the result of poor driving. The Sports Luxury model also features a Pre-Collision Safety System, which detects if a crash is imminent. It displays a warning and sounds an alarm, adjusts the seatbelts for greater restraint and sets the Brake Assist system to full braking. Also fitted is Active Cruise Control which keeps the car at a predetermined time from a vehicle in front by slowing the CT200h to keep a safe gap. It speeds the car up when the vehicle in front accelerates or moves out of the way. Safety extends to the rear

ECOLOGICALLY speaking, Lexus, like its parent company Toyota, has nailed its future firmly to the hybrid powertrain tree, Lexus sedan and sports utility vehicles being early adopters of the petrol/electric hybrid system. In 2010 the company came up with the CT200h Compact Touring hybrid hatch, the first of its type on the market. At less than $50,000 it provides an ideal introduction to the upmarket marque. With the help of the Lexus L-Finesse design philosophy the car has evolved into a vehicle that lives out the intended ‘Creative Touring’ CT of its title. It comes to market in Australia in three versions - CT200h Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury, together with up to four Enhancement Packs, cost options which add individual touches across the board. Prices start at $45,049, with nothing more to pay, for the Luxury variant and climb to $62,389 for the Sports Luxury on the road. Our test car was the latter, which included goodies such as Active Cruise Control plus a Pre-Collision Safety System, auto-levelling LED headlamps, parking sensors front and rear and 13-speaker Mark Levinson audio. On three sides the CT200h follows the standard small hatchback design script with characteristic architecture. However, when it comes to the front, the car makes a forceful statement. Front and centre is the Lexus signature spindle radiator grille with its broad-shouldered upper region, pinched in waist and wide base. Each model has its own mesh design, the Sports Luxury we tested incorporating horizontal lines. Latest generation LED headlamps flank the radiator’s upper edge and incorporate an L-shaped set-up of daytime running lights. Power exterior mirrors carry a rain dispersing coating and include puddle lights which turn on as the door is opened. Seventeen-inch twin spoke alloy wheels fill out the wheel arches and are shod with Yokohama ‘dB decibel’ tyres to tone down road noise as befitting a luxury tourer. The cabin boasts a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with memory. Rear seat legroom takes a step back with limited space that’s really only suited to children unless those in the front are able to move their seats a fair way forward. You get nothing for nothing in this world and current hybrids demand large batteries that inevitably steal space from somewhere. Instruments and controls are split into two areas, an upper Display Zone, meaning there’s minimum eye movement from the road, and lower Operation Zone, placing controls close at hand. A range of options, including climate control air-condi-
