PAKENHAM Main Street has been left dull and bare by Cardinia Shire Council which has been dubbed the Christmas Grinch by disappointed retailers and shoppers. The town centre, which has been decorated with tinsel, lights and festive signage in the past, looks no different to any other season of the year - this has done little to lift spirits in the community. Ritchies IGA Store manager Sam Lynn said a couple of hours spent decorating his store had paid off in spades with a bout of happy customer reports and added that council ought to do the same. “I think it’s disappointing. I have had customers come in here and say the same thing. If you go to any other municipality, you will see they already have their Christmas decorations up,” he said. “Between serving customers, staff put up the decorations which create more of an environment for customers in the lead-up to Christmas.” Hayley Couch from Alex Scott and Staff Real Estate also decorated the office which, she said, had boosted worker morale. “It’s upsetting that the rest of the street isn’t done up. It doesn’t really help them get into the Christmas spirit,” she said. Marie Harding, who has lived in Pakenham for the past 27 years, said she was left uninspired by her trip down the festive-free strip just two weeks before the big day. “It has always been decorated ... I don’t remember the last time it wasn’t,” she said. President of Pakenham Op Shop Margot De Vries said council’s

Cardinia Shire councillors, from left, Collin Ross, David Young, Brett Owen, Kate Lempriere, Graeme Moore, mayor Leticia Wilmot and George Blenkhorn, outside the new civic centre in Officer.
Right: CCTV footage of the thief was posted to the firm's Facebook site.
Store’s bid to nail thief AN OFFICER timber company has shamed a thief, who stole expensive tools from its store, over social media last week. Van Steensel Timbers Pty Ltd captured CCTV footage of a man wearing a black hoodie as he stole two Paslode nail guns from the shop. Staff later posted the footage on the company’s Facebook page. The images show the man stole the nail guns between 12.30am and 12.45am on Friday 5 December. The timber store publicly suggested the man may be a customer. “He knew exactly what he wanted and where to get it which means he has been in our store before!” the company posted on its Facebook page. The post has been shared more than 400 times. Pakenham police confirmed they were speaking to a suspect
Thursday, 11 December, 2014 Page 3
Thriving town in the making OFFICER is expected to be home to a community of 30,000 people within 20 years, according to Cardinia Shire Council projections. Council believes Officer is on the verge of a new era with a range of developments expected to change the face of the township, with 11,000 dwellings and 6500 new jobs within two decades. It has also issued a planning permit for a possible future cinema. Council general manager Planning and Development Phil Walton said the new civic centre was located in what would become the future Officer town centre. “The growth of Officer will attract development and a surge in economic investment
in the area. Council is excited to be the first to move into this new economic centre,” he said. “The land around the civic centre may look bare now, but in a few years’ time it will be a thriving town centre with a shopping and entertainment precinct and public spaces for the community to enjoy. “Council will be just one part of that.” A retail centre with supermarket and specialty shops, community facilities and recreation spaces are on the way, as well as significant outdoor places and environmental features, council says. “Other developments include the newly opened Officer Specialist School, the soon-to-be opened Officer
Secondary School and Arena Children’s Centre,” he said. “Officer is also well serviced with public transport and a growing housing market.” Mr Walton said with the shire population also continuing to grow, the new civic centre would be better equipped to cater for its current and future needs. “As Cardinia Shire continues to welcome more residents, council as an organisation has also grown,” he said. “The offices in Pakenham are inadequate for the number of staff required to service a municipality of this size, however the new civic centre has the capacity to not only cater for a growing community but also a growing organisation.”

Help realise a goodbye dream By CASEY NEILL CRANBOURNE North mum Tracey Ryan is calling for winning Tattslotto numbers to make her final dreams come true. The 50-year-old was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2010 and it’s since spread to her spine, ribs, lungs and liver. Doctors say the disease will soon claim her life. “But that’s only a figure,” she said. “We could all go out tomorrow and get hit by a truck.” She only has two items to complete on the bucket list she wrote in 2012, after ticking off a party with friends and family on 29 November. Up to 100 people gathered at a friend’s home for dancing, laughs and hugs. “It was just a really good vibe,” she said. “My life’s journey has not been easy, but I have learnt one thing that if you have family, friends and love you can get through anything. On 20 September, Tracey watched her daughter, Erin, get married. She skydived on her wedding anniversary last year, climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge with son Leigh, and on 24 July received a makeover from Westfield Fountain Gate and Myer. Now her focus is on returning to Northern Ireland with husband Andrew to say goodbye to her family - the place where half of her ashes will be scattered. “We’re still staying positive and upbeat,” she said. “I just need the Tattslotto numbers.”
Gillian Tong and Tracey Ryan embrace.
Tracey Ryan with Sharon Driessen and Gillian Tong. A friend has set up a fund-raising page to help make the dream come true. “There is an opportunity to give an amazing gift to a lady who has been fighting for so long - who deserves to find joy in every breath that she takes,” the page says. Finding a cure for breast cancer also remains on Tracey’s list. “I don’t want anyone else or their families to have to go through this,” she said.
Tracey works with Pink Hope, Breast Cancer Network Australia and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and directs Young Pink Sisters, a charity that fellow breast cancer sufferers set up to give back. She’s encouraging women and men to “check their boobs”. Visit www.gofundme.com/traceysgoodbye to support her trip.

A life-changing moment By LACHLAN MOORHEAD
Bruce Austin, a Casey Arc volunteer, is helping to change the face of youth mental health after his own battle with depression. Picture: ROB CAREW The overwhelming positive feedback to this year’s program will see it run again in 2015, this time at both Berwick College and a second school still to be decided. “Chris (then Casey Arc manager) came to me and said there was clearly a need in the community,” Bruce said. “We know there’s a lot of big players out there, there’s Headspace, there’s Beyondblue but we all need to start trying to nail this thing because of

what’s happening with mental health. So why don’t you go and see if you can do something else? “He basically gave me a mandate and said, go and see what you can do, if you’ve got the time, so I did some research and we identified a strong need was in the high school area - kids dealing with self-harm and suicide issues, mental health and wellbeing.” Y4U2 launched in the second term of 2014, after Bruce spent two years re-

TWO men have been charged with drug trafficking, after police saw a drug deal take place in Cockatoo. Leading Senior Constable Richard Murphy said police saw the drug deal take place and arrested one male, before arresting two others down the road for trafficking ice (methamphetamine). Leading Sen Const Murphy said that the three men, a 19-year-old from Gembrook, a 19-yearold from Cockatoo and a 22-year-old from Lysterfield were interviewed by police and two would face charges. “Their phones were seized from the two males charged and detailed a lot of drug activity in the area,” LSC Murphy said. “They were remanded and bailed to appear at court on a later date. One man faced Ringwood Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Tuesday), the other will face Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 11 March, 2015.

searching how best to operate the program. A team of 30 volunteers helped run Y4U2, which was awarded for ‘program excellence’ by the YMCA. “In 2016 we’re planning for me to mentor someone who can be another program co-ordinator. And from there it can just multiply,” Bruce said. “The YMCA centres seem to be the obvious place to do it. Because out there every YMCA has access to Beyondblue, every YMCA has access

BRUCE Austin stood atop the lookout, suspended over the City of Casey, and he prayed. Only a few months earlier, in 2010, the father of four had suffered a catatonic episode brought on by severe stress and depression. The then 50-year-old stood on the lookout in Berwick’s Wilson Botanic Park and knew his life would continue to slip away unless he changed something. “I crashed in December 2010, I was spent,” he said. “I was crumbling 10 years earlier than that but battled on for 10 years, and then crashed. The crash ended up with me being carried off in an ambulance and in a psych ward. “Then I had to put in a plan to recover. And I’m still in recovery, because it takes you decades to get to that place and it’s not a quick fix to get out.” Desperate to get back on his feet, Bruce - now the program co-ordinator for the ground breaking new youth mental health program ‘Y4U2’ - was encouraged to engage in daily exercise as a means of mitigating his depression, and found himself volunteering at Casey Arc in Narre Warren. With the help of the gym, Bruce’s insight into the world of mental health saw him this year launch the Y4U2 Program for at-risk youth at Berwick College. Y4U2 ran as an eight-week program for 17 Year 10 to 12 students who felt they would benefit from extra support in the form of life coaching, exercise and activities. Each session ran for 90 minutes and includes group fitness classes delivered by Casey ARC YMCA, in addition to a weekly presentation delivered by a different mental health professional each time.

Letters What a shame HOW disappointing to read your front page story this week. I was at the Narre Warren North Pre Poll voting booth every day and did not see any evidence to support the Liberal candidate’s complaints. I know that the Labor volunteers had all been briefed about acceptable behaviour and not to make any disparaging remarks about candidates. It was obvious that at least three of the Liberal team had not had such instructions, but I won’t go into details. I’m sure the returning officer would have responded appropriately to any official complaints from the Liberal candidate or her campaign manager, had there been any real concerns. I think the main impediments to people wanting to cast a vote at the pre-poll booth were the number of huge trailer-mounted Liberal billboards and Liberal badged cars parked along the roadsides outside the polling booth and the gang of people in blue Tshirts who surrounded the gate to the booth to ensure their candidate was the last person to speak to each of the voters. One wonders where the funds came from to pay for all the marketing and the all-night security guards to protect Liberal posters at the Saturday polling booths. It’s a real shame that many potentially good councillors in the City of Casey get talked into running for State Government elections. Brian Oates, Endeavour Hills.

ROSALIE Crestani, councillor for the Four Oaks Ward, has allied with Rise Up Australia, an anti-Islamic fringe political party, with an intent of worming her way into the Victorian Parliament. Crestani has angered the Islamic community of the Four Oaks Ward by her anti-Islamic stand. She is a firecracker with no purpose or plan for the welfare of the residents of the Four Oaks Ward. Thus far we of Four Oaks have not had one motion passed, beneficial to the Four Oaks Ward. Perhaps Moreland ought to ask her to resign from the role of councillor for the ward. Her attempt to block some LGBTI motion has fizzled out; little did she know that her cohort Kaplon is gay. I might inform both councillors that we, the residents of Four Oaks, are utterly disappointed at the antics of two councillors who do not represent the warp and woof of the family oriented society. I earnestly urge Casey Council to call on the electoral commissioner to change rules for election to council, to incorporate the requirement that to be elected to local government all over Victoria, the candidate be a resident of the ward. We in Four Oaks Ward will be prevented from the theatrics of Crestani, with her cohort Monckton who is a Lord of a colonial empire with long-lost authenticity. Four Oaks Ward is a very tolerant society. We want our libraries enhanced, improved bus services to take us to work, our shopping malls clean, and our rates affordable. We will remember the antics

Every step of the way, the doctors, surgeons, anaesthitists, nursing staff plus many others were just so caring and fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough of the care I received over the nine days.

Hot cars are deadly By BRIDGET SCOTT RECENT statistics released by Ambulance Victoria has shown that Cranbourne has ranked one of the highest in the state for leaving children in locked cars on hot days. In the period from 1 September 2013 to 31 August 2014, Ambulance Victoria received 23 calls regarding people locked in vehicles, 92 per cent of these are believed to have been for children aged 13 or under. An average of one call in this time was made for surrounding areas including Cranbourne East, Cranbourne North, Cranbourne West and Botanic Ridge. Ambulance paramedics were disappointed with the 10 per cent increase in children left in cars this year compared to last. From December 2013 to March 2014, an average of four calls a day were made to triplezero reporting someone locked in a car.
That number peaked at 13 in one day during the January heatwave. Group manager Brett Drummond said leaving children in a car could prove deadly. “People don’t seem to understand the deadly risks involved in leaving a child in a hot car,” Mr Drummond said. “Tragically, there have been cases of children dying in hot cars in Victoria in recent years.” He said the dangers associated with leaving children in hot cars are much higher than that if an adult was left in a hot car. “Being left in a hot car can quickly become life threatening for babies and young children as they can’t regulate their body temperature like adults can,” he said. “They may suffer from heat distress in the beginning followed by heat stroke. They dehydrate quite quickly.”
“The consequences can be unconsciousness and even coma, and unfortunately some children may die. It can be minutes.” “How quickly the effects begin to appear can depend on how old the child is and how hot the day is but we’re seeing evidence that cars can get very hot very quickly to quite dangerous levels.” He added that it doesn’t have to be high temperatures for children to be affected. “It doesn’t have to be a scorching hot day for the car to quickly heat up. Tests by Ambulance Victoria found that even on a 29-degree day the inside of a car can reach 44 degrees within 10 minutes and hit 60 degrees within 20 minutes,” he said. “You wouldn’t get out of the car after shopping and leave your ice cream in the back seat, so why would you
leave your children there?” Mr Drummond said calls to children locked in cars were a mix of deliberate or careless acts, and accidents where the keys were locked in the car with the child. Acting Senior Sergeant at Cranbourne Jen McKenna said there were penalties associated with leaving your children in the car. However, she added that the priority should be the child’s health. “It is a brief offence - offenders may be charged and have to appear in court,” she said. “It means that anyone who is deliberately leaving kids in cars, particularly on hot days, police will prosecute.” “The offending driver or offending person in charge of the car at time will be interviewed and summons issued to appear at court.”
Foretaste of high school By BRIDGET SCOTT FUTURE students to Casey Grammar got a taste of secondary school last week when around 90 pupils turned out for orientation day. Year 7 co-ordinator Kate Morgan said students from about 30 different schools came along, in addition to those who were in Grade 6 at the Cranbourne East school.
Students made their way around the school for the day and met their future classmates. “Students took the opportunity to make friends, meet new teachers and find their way around the school,” Mr Morgan said. “A highlight for many students was when they were given a combination lock to take home and practise over the holidays.”

‘Selfies’ in their sights By LACHLAN MOORHEAD POLICE are still searching for eight guns which were alleged stolen from a Berwick house last month. It is believed a burglar broke into the garage of the Brent Close home overnight on Friday 21 November. They originally removed 10 guns from a large safe, before taking a smaller safe containing another firearm. But the smaller safe, along with two firearms, was recovered nearby, while eight guns remain missing. Police have provided a photo of the missing guns. Investigators are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area at the time of the burglary, or who may have any knowledge of the whereabouts of the firearms. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or log into www. crimestoppersvic.com.au. The theft comes as police have warned firearm owners this week to avoid publicising their ownership, after a spate of social media activity involving firearm ‘selfies’. Senior Sergeant Andrew Armstrong said people were recklessly advertising their firearm ownership without considering the consequences. “This behaviour is concerning. Some criminals trawl social media networks looking for easy targets and items of interest - including ammunition and other weaponry,” Sen Sgt Armstrong from Victoria Police Licensing and Regulation Division said. “It’s easy enough to gather personal information through public profiles or unsecure accounts.
Back in the saddle again By ANEEKA SIMONIS
Above: Police have warned the community that they are cracking down on people who are taking firearm ‘selfies’. Right: A picture of some of the guns stolen from a Berwick home. “Licence holders need to be responsible. “Any public display of firearm ownership including stickers on vehicles or house windows can encourage unwanted attention from thieves.” Sen Sgt Armstrong said police will continue to conduct impromptu inspections over the coming months. “Some licence holders are becoming too complacent,” he said. “With the responsibility of owning a firearm comes the responsibility of storing one.
“If your firearms can be easily accessed you need to improve your security.” The Firearms Act 1996 states that devices used to store these items must be constructed of hard wood or steel that is not easily penetrable and secured with a sturdy lock. Sen Sgt Armstrong said recent targeted operations had led to fines being issued, licences cancelled and weapons seized. For more information about the safe storage of firearms, visit www.police.vic.gov.au/firearms.
A FORMER Berwick sportswoman who was left paraplegic after a car accident last year is getting back on the horse. Emma Booth, 23, was left tragically injured after an outof-control truck jack-knifed into her as she travelled home from a horse race in New South Wales in April 2013. The strong-willed rider said she refused to let the accident hold her back; instead, she had her eyes set on competing in the 2016 Rio Paralympics. “That’s the plan,” she said. “When I was recovering in hospital, I made it my goal early on. Since I was discharged, I have slowly gotten back in the saddle with the help of some amazing people.” Emma, who competed in
her first international competition in England earlier this year, said her dreams of competing at the Rio Paralympics had been made possible through the overwhelming commitment of a close family friend. Glenn Carter, 50, from Ride With No Limits has decided to cycle his way around Australia to afford the promising parathlete the chance to compete in the global sporting event. “My oldest son is the same age as Emma ... her parents and I go way back to when we were teenagers. “We watched the kids grow up and if anyone felt as heartbroken as her parents, it was my wife and I,” he said. “This is my way of trying to promote what Emma is doing and helping her reach that level. “If she gets into the Para-
lympics, and I am sure she’s going to, she will be an enormous role model to future paraplegics ... to see someone like Emma and how she is getting on with her new life is inspirational.” Glenn, who Emma affectionately refers to as her uncle, hopes the gruelling 14,275 kilometres ride will bring in $70,000 to cover all of Emma’s travel costs during the preliminary period. “I think about the ride as if it was work. I hope to raise $1000 each day and I think, that’s worth getting out of bed for,” he said of the 70-week challenge. Glenn will set off from his home in Wantirna on Saturday 18 April travelling anti-clockwise around the country’s border. He is expected to finish courageous ride on Friday 26 June.To donate, visit www. ridewithnolimits.com.

Firefighters and police were called to the former Endeavour Hills Secondary College site last month where a suspicious fire destroyed the old gym building. 131228 Picture: KEITH PAKENHAM (CFA)
By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY councillor Rafal Kaplon has ramped up his calls for the neglected Endeavour Hills Secondary College site to be put to use again, after a suspicious fire destroyed the former school’s disused gym last month. Cr Kaplon pushed for the Amalfi Drive facility to be put to “community use” as quickly as possible at a council meeting last week, with a strategy plan now to be presented by the first meeting in February. Police are still searching for a man seen fleeing the fire on Thursday 20 November at the former Endeavour Hills high school gym, which the City of Casey has a partial stake in. In July, Labor pledged to provide Hallam Senior Col-
lege’s Sports Academy with partial access to the old campus, which shut down in 2012, if it won the State Election. At the time Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said an ALP Victorian Government would authorise the Department of Education to hand over the site’s gym, now ruined by the fire, and oval. But Cr Kaplon said Hallam Senior College’s potential use of the old facilities was a “longterm project”, and called for the site to be put to immediate use to deter vandals. “I wanted to push the council further that these buildings have to be used or more acts of vandalism will occur. We lost a major asset,” he said. “The destruction needs to be stopped. “Let’s get the building used
and prevent vandalism and provide a much needed community space.” Cr Kaplon also asked for a report to be put together on the “financial implications” to council after the old gym was torched. Mr Donnellan said it was too early to tell how the fire would affect Labor’s pre-election promise, but he re-iterated Hallam Senior College would still be gaining partial access to the site. “Nothing’s going to change, there’s no change to policy full stop,” he said. “The school will get access to the site for sporting uses.” Low enrolments led to the closure of Endeavour Hills Secondary College two years ago, one of the smallest and oldest high schools in the region.

THE QUAYS MAB Corporation
THE multi-award winning Quays is MAB’s largest project to date, with a construction cost of $190m.
with an edgier design and an emphasis on exceptional facilities that would supplement apartment living.
MAB was awarded development rights in 1999 to the North End of Victoria Harbour now known as ‘NewQuay.’
This was underpinned by a marketing strategy that involved targeting architecture, personality, affordability and sustainability. Ultimately this assisted in achieving 500 sales and prior to construction commencement.
Since this acquisition they have delivered seven high rise residential developments across the precinct with The Quays being the most recently completed project in 2013. The creation of The Quays has been the culmination of several years of master planning and ideas from a range of experts and stakeholders. This project challenged the status quo in the marketplace and within MAB’s apartment business. Alternatively, it could see a niche in the market for more affordable dwellings,
The NewQuay Docklands Precinct continues to grow, gaining greater market acceptance of a variety of housing and commercial options including apartments, townhouses, retail shops and offices. With some 900 residents in The Quays and 2100 in NewQuay already calling Docklands home, the new community will enjoy the master planned open space, and the convenience of shopping and dining along the waterfront. ■

LOCATED close to one of Melbourne’s most iconic intersections (Toorak Road and Chapel Street) ILK South Yarra is a 24-storey mixed-use development.
shared internal environments foster a sense of community, encouraging interaction and engagement.
ILK has been conceived with ‘place making’, ‘event’, ‘environments’ and ‘craft’ as key concepts. This provides a platform for a diverse community to integrate with and make positive contributions to the Toorak Road precinct.
ILK contains world-class resort inspired amenity across three separate zones: the ground level, Level 3 and Level 9. The key marketing strategy was the creation of an iconic brand for ILK, which was achieved through a sophisticated display suite, and minimal advertising.
Each part of the architecture responds to its specific location within the site. The building’s facade and forms complement the surrounding commercial and retail precinct while creating a more textured and detailed setting that alludes to the intimate spaces of ILK. The quality of living that ILK affords is achieved through the considered blend of interior and exterior spaces; apartments are designed for their sense of sanctuary while
The aim in constructing ILK was to remove the existing building and cross-over to Toorak Road and develop a new structure to reinstate an active street wall to Toorak Road. The design incorporates a podium to reinforce the scale and desired articulation for the broader Toorak Road precinct, as well as a 24-level tower behind it. ■

TIP TOP Little Projects Pty Ltd
THE Tip Top development is a pioneering urban renewal project in Brunswick East, transforming a large iconic industrial site into a complete residential community including the provision of a childcare centre. The project is on the site of the former Tip Top Bakery: a local landmark that was established in 1939 by Northern Bakeries. It comprises a principal building along the Edward Street frontage, which is significant as a large and sophisticated example of the Dutch Modernist approach, with the remainder completely closed in, occupied by production and manufacturing areas. The result of two years of extensive planning and rigorous consultation with the local and State Government and the community, not only does this development honour the site’s
iconic history, the former Tip Top bakery site, but also creates a successful project that adds life and value to this emerging, inner city community. Designed by architecture firm RotheLowman, the site has been transformed into a series of six residential buildings containing a mix of apartments; from interior-designed apartments, townhouses, duplexes and entry-level apartments, to suit a range of owneroccupiers and investors, as well as a high proportion of first home buyers, who took advantage of the generous first home owners grant available at the time. The interior spaces have been designed with a warm, neutral palette to encourage the resident to inject their own personality into their home. ■

When the traditional ‘organic’ shaped wetland didn’t fully meet the objectives of the planning scheme provisions nor the urban vision of the Caroline Springs Town Centre, an alternate approach was sought. The vision for the Urban Wetland and Cascades was formulated in 2003, with Lend Lease Communities presenting a precedent setting water management system to Melbourne Water Corporation and Melton Shire Council. A formal contemporary straight-edged, geometric system with wetlands, open water
ponds, sand filters and bio-swales all linked through the pedestrian circulation system and road network was proposed. Detailed modelling determined that it would meet water quality and stormwater objectives. This innovative approach challenged stakeholders as it appeared somewhat foreign, expensive and a maintenance liability. The Urban Wetland and Cascades has cost $6.1m to construct with $3.1m reimbursed under the Stony Hills Creek Drainage Scheme. The Urban Wetland and Cascades aims to enhance the urban character of the Caroline Springs town centre and provide open space amenity to support the surrounding mix of high density apartments and townhouses. ■

JUDGES’ AWARD Willow Park, Interlandi Mantesso Architects & JMC Group THE Willow Park project has taken an industrial area and turned it into a new community. Set on a 57,650 square metre site in the predominantly industrial area of Maidstone, the site itself was occupied for industrial use that was no longer required.
www.
Thursday, 11 December, 2014 Page 13
.com.au
Along Omar Street to the west of the subject site, the land is occupied by single allotments of residential use, with their private open spaces abutting the subject site. Residential dwellings began to appear in other disused parcels of land in close proximity, but the area was still mainly industrial with several design constraints to overcome. This included Hampstead Road itself, which is very industrious and carrying heavy vehicular traffic. Nearby Crefden Street was a new council road already in place when the initial design stages began – providing a north facing frontage to the development. The introduction of a new internal road system, a major drainage reserve, open space and a park with wetlands formalised the outline of the stages that were to complement the multi residential precincts. From the outset of the development, a conscious approach was adopted to establish a residential development that would evolve in its architectural form and composition over the duration of the development. This enabled the development to be given a sense of community - via an architectural response of contemporary built forms, with various heights and materiality contributing to a skyline that would set a new preferred neighbourhood character. ■
CONSULTANT AWARD
LANDSCAPE AWARD Chancellor Residences, Sunland Group Ltd THE significant landscaping within the site provides tree canopies and considerable internal streetscape amenity. Landscaped gardens and pathways connect the residences leading to a 975 sqm central park. In total, 1,500 square metres of communal green space is provided across two primary landscaped precincts. Sunland Group is to be congratulated on the integration of these beautifully crafted gardens, which frame the living spaces and provides communal open spaces for the community to enjoy. ■

ENTICED BY HORSE LOVERS A SEVEN-acre property complete with a charmingly refurbished cottage and picturesque rural views is not so easy to find these days – so this delightful home and land, located near the sought-after hamlet of Rokeby, is a gem. Enjoy seclusion and peace on this slice of paradise, offering both pastured paddocks and a smaller area of its own natural bush which adjoins the old local railway line and connects to endless trails for riding or walking. In fact, this property caters well for horse lovers, offering a round yard, day yards with shelters, two holding yards plus three larger paddocks, in addition to the acre or so of bush. There is also a massive split level shed with a separate loft which provides great
opportunity for storage, machinery or even a space for a tradesperson to operate from. Renovations to an existing cottage have created a three-bedroom home full of character with extensive indoor and outdoor living and wonderful rural views. Pretty gardens surround the house and the north facing verandah opens to a lovely sunroom at the entrance. Inside the broad family living space, there’s a rustic, country appeal with exposed timber beams, polished floorboards, timber panelling and the cosy ambience of a solid fuel heater which totally nails the mood. There’s also a split system airconditioner. The open plan works well, combining a relaxed sitting space, spacious dining area
and modern kitchen. White cabinets, stainless appliances and solid timber bench tops complete the U-shaped kitchen work space which is open to both the dining area and family room. Large glass doors reveal a huge deck at the rear which has a commanding view across the property and to the bushland beyond from its elevated place, and there is opportunity to enjoy each season due to this nice synergy between inside and outside living. There are three bedrooms in the home, each with carpet, built- in robes and limed timber boards continue the country feel of the cottage in one bedroom. Convenient to every room are the laundry and bathroom, and a separate toilet.

New award a big milestone for our SES THE Narre Warren SES has been awarded a La Trobe Community Award for almost a decade worth of service to the area. The Narre Warren unit, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2015, was recognised by La Trobe MP Jason Wood last month for the signifi-
cant contribution it had made to the community, attending more than 8000 requests for assistance since being established. There are 43 volunteers in the Narre Warren unit, which runs yearly awareness campaigns throughout the City of Casey.
Narre Warren deputy controller Tim Howell said the unit was extremely proud to receive the recognition. “Ordinarily, these awards are given to individual members of the community so it is great to see the entire unit recognised and rewarded for teamwork,“ he said.
The award was presented by La Trobe MP Jason Wood to Narre Warren SES members Mark Ruyssenaers, Erin Bradshaw, Tim Howell and Tony Jackson.
Tree climb feat By BRIDGET SCOTT WHO would have thought that a childhood hobby which often ended in tears and bruises could become a celebrated career? On Saturday, 6 December, professional tree climbers from across the country descended on Lynbrook for the Australian Tree Climbing Championships and proved the prospect possible. Around 25 of Australia’s best climbers competed in a national event organised by Arboriculture AustraliaTM at Banjo Paterson Reserve, Lynbrook. Arboriculture AustraliaTM vice-president Craig Hallam said the climbers had qualified for the event through State-based competitions and would compete for the title of female and male Australian Champion. City of Casey mayor Mick Morland said council was thrilled that one of Casey’s locations had been chosen to host the event. “The same reserve hosted the Victorian championships last year,” he said. “Council is thrilled that the reserve will now host the national competition following the success of last year’s event.” The competitions are designed to stimulate the day-to-day activities of professional climbing arborists and showcase the highest level of professional skills and safety. The winners of the event will go on to represent Australia at an international level at the March 2015 International Tree Climbing Championships (ITCC) in Florida. The ITCC event, hosted by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), brings professional tree climbers from more than 20 countries around the world to compete for the World Championship, including North America, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Europe. Councillor Morland had encouraged everyone to get along and watch the champions at work. “This event is the perfect opportunity to watch industry professionals showcase their specialised skills in a unique competition,” he said.

Carols unite them By BRIDGET SCOTT COMMUNITY groups will come together again this Christmas to create another unforgettable event. With crowds of more than 700 last year, organisers of the Cranbourne Community Christmas Carols have high hopes for another successful event. The event will kickoff at 6.30pm on Sunday 14 December at Presy Park on the corner of Russell and Childers streets. With a free sausage sizzle and 200 showbags to give away, the event hosted by the Cranbourne Presbyterian Church and St
John’s Anglican Church is set to be a fun night out for all. As a new addition this year, there will also be a kids craft tent with plenty of fun activities available. Best of all, there will be plenty of carolling mixed with local acts as well as coffee and ice-cream vendors. Organisers hope that the Cranbourne Community Christmas Carols will be better than last year and a great chance for the entire town to come together. The event is sponsored by the City of Casey.

Stars out for Family Fun Day By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY’S Family Fun Day is barely a few sleeps away. Melbourne Stars’ Captain Cameron White, and teammates Kevin Pietersen, David Hussey and James Faulkner will be at the event, held at Casey Fields, and have encouraged the community to make it down on Sunday 14 December. Melbourne Stars’ CEO Clint Cooper said the Fun Day was a highly anticipated day on the Casey calendar. “Not only is it a great hit out for the team, it’s also a lot of fun prior to the serious part of the season kicking off,” he said. “We are calling on Stars fans far and wide, and anyone who loves free family entertainment, to get along to this free community event, soak up the fantastic family atmosphere, enjoy the
Melbourne Stars’ player and Casey-identity Clive Rose with Caleb at last year s Family Fun Day. many rides and activities, and maybe snare an autograph or two from their favourite players. “We are incredibly grateful for the support of the City of Casey and look forward to continuing to build this as an iconic
City of Casey event.” Casey Mayor Mick Morland said there would be something for both children and adults to enjoy at the event. “Casey Fields will be transformed into a carnival, with roving entertainers, rides, music, stalls, prizes, giveaways and other family-friendly activities,” he said. “Don’t miss this wonderful event which brings elite level cricket, sporting superstars and a healthy serving of fun to your own backyard!” The Casey Family Fun Day will run this Sunday from 10am to 3pm at Casey Fields, Berwick-Cranbourne Road, Cranbourne East. The event is free, for more information, visit www.casey. vic.gov.au/arts-leisure/melbournestars.
Casey goes into carnival mode THE City of Casey has invited residents and business owners to be part of one of its major events now in its 16th year. It has called upon potential stallholders and performers to submit their Expressions of Interest (EOI) to perform on the community stage and be involved at the Casey Kids Carnival on 21 March next year. The event, one of Casey’s biggest days, attracts crowds of up to $10,000 and offers free entertainment and activities for the whole family. City of Casey mayor Mick Morland has invited different groups, including food and drink vendors, novelty stallholders and community groups to get in-
volved in this exciting event. “Now in its 16th year, the event attracts thousands of people to Akoonah Park, Berwick, to enjoy a free day of activities and entertainment including live performers, rides, interactive games, face painters, art and crafts and animals,” he said. “This is a great opportunity for community groups, organisations and businesses to raise their profile in Casey, while joining in the excitement of the carnival.” Council hopes to get plenty of EOI from potential main stage performers. “This is the perfect opportunity for local artists to gain exposure and experience the thrill of performing in front of a crowd of
thousands,” Cr Morland said. “Council would love to hear from up and coming acts and established performers who could entertain people of all ages and bring their own flavour to the Casey Kids Carnival.” Applications for stallholder and community stage EOI close on Friday 9 January 2015. Stallholders will be informed of the outcome of their EOI application within 21 days of applications closing. Those interested in applying to be a stallholder or performer can obtain an EOI form at www. casey.vic.gov.au/caseykidscarnival or can phone City of Casey Customer Service on 9705 5200.

Sport Morgan at Warriors By RUSSELL BENNETT THE Pakenham Warriors basketball club has entered an exciting new era with the naming of its new coaching group for the upcoming season. And overseeing the coaching group will be a 24-year-old familiar to many in the local hoops scene. Darrell Morgan, who recently spent a year on the Perth Wildcats’ development squad, will act as the coaching director - keeping an eye on Warriors coaches from under-12s to the Big V teams. Originally from Beaconsfield, Morgan played junior domestic basketball in the local area before moving on to Dandenong. In addition to his time at the Wildcats, he’s also spent a year in the American collegiate system at Iowa, and with the Lakeside Lightning in Western Australia’s State Basketball League. And while there’s a chance, he’ll lace up the kicks at some stage for the Warriors in 2015, it’s off the court specifically in physical development that he’ll be a real asset. “I graduated with a degree in sport science, so I’m working as a physical preparation coach and doing a Masters in high performance sports training,” Morgan said at Cardinia Life on Sunday. “As a result I end up working a lot with sporting clubs on strength and conditioning and that sort of thing, and I also work a lot with the general public with rehabilitation.” Morgan believes he can give the Warriors a real boost, both with injury prevention and physical preparation
“Coming from a basketball powerhouse in Ballarat, where numbers weren’t necessarily strong but we had the quality, to here becomes a challenge because we’ve got the opposite situation,” Thompson said. “We’ve got a lot of kids that are keen to be part of it all, but whether they’ve had the direction to this point, I’m not sure. “We’ve got some good people on board that are hopefully going to get us to where we need to go and create a positive culture, and for the women to know that when they come to Pakenham they’re going to get better.”
Darrell Morgan (centre) will lead the new Pakenham Warriors Big V coaching group of Patience Grayer, Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Darren Thomas, Jeff Reid and Jace Westland. 132222 - something that would set the organisation apart from many of its competitors. “Just being here and seeing all the new uniforms and business shirts there’s so many little things that they’re doing that just seem like this year is a turning point or almost a clean slate in many respects that we can just springboard from,” he said. “It’s really exciting and for me the timing’s perfect.” Warriors favourite son Jeff Reid has taken the Big V men’s team coaching reins from his own former coach at Pakenham, Ryan Rogers.
Reid is one of the best guards to have played in Big V Division 2 in recent seasons, but his playing career was cruelly cut short by injury. Now, he’s putting all his energy into coaching a team he knows so well. “I wanted to still be involved with the program and, not being able to play, this is a way of still being involved and I think I’ve got something to teach the guys and some tips and experience to pass on,” he said. “I can’t wait. I’m not sure how I’ll go first time into coaching, but I’m looking forward to it and I can’t wait for the season to start.”
Reid said he was still working on rounding out his playing roster but his expectation in his first year as a head coach was for his side to be competitive in every game. “If we have an inexperienced team on the floor, I want them to fight and play their hearts out,” he said. “I expect, with the guys we have at this stage, to have a very competitive season and I expect us to probably make finals.” Rounding out an impressive coaching trifecta is Darren Thomas, who will head up the Warriors’ brand new Big V women’s side.

Hungry for one last shot By JARROD POTTER A TOUGH year on court turned around suddenly for Berwick Grammar School’s under-17 basketball team as it claimed a national championship. Teams from across Australia descended on Tuggeranong, Canberra, en masse last week for the final tournament of the year - the Australian Schools Championships. Wanting one last challenge with a group that has been together for the last few years, Berwick Grammar School basketball coach and Year-10 co-ordinator Darragh Howard said the team was hungry for one last shot at a title. “In the beginning we thought the boys were pretty good basketballers and all the way through they competed in competitions and did really well, but never actually won anything,” Howard said. “So we went up there (Canberra) just to see how we’d go, because they won a
lot of games by blowouts and lost a lot of close ones over the last three or four years.” With the team members from multiple year levels - a Year-eight, four Year-nines and four Year 10s - the Berwick Grammar side proved too mighty for McKinnon Secondary College in the final, turning around a threequarter-time deficit to a 58-51 win. “They won all their games in blow outs and then the grand final came along and it was a really close game which was great,” Howard said. “It was really close the whole way through - one of our boys hit a three-pointer on the buzzer to put us up by about three points, threequarter-time I think we were losing, then the momentum changed with about five minutes to go. “The boys really started to string some passes together and really broke up the other team’s full-court press… we
ended up winning by eight.” Berwick Grammar School’s basketball captain Darcy Brown led the division for points, hitting 134 points, while Joel Laycock (104), Ben Redfern (73) and Nathan Bourne (64) also hit the backboard consistently in the tournament win. Berwick Grammar’s sister school St Margaret’s was agonisingly defeated 32-35 by Cabra Dominican College in the Under-15 Girls Freshman Gold Medal match, despite the best efforts of Sophie Locandro (11 points) and Eleanor Nichol (8 points). In other results for local schools, Berwick College had three teams win medals, with the Under-15 Boys Freshman Division 1 downed 46-59 by Barker College, Under-15 Boys Freshman Division 2 bested 33-68 by Rockingham and the Under-15 Girls Freshman side winning a bronze medal match defeating Lyneham 57-36.

Teams out swinging By RUSSELL BENNETT WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCIATION REVIEW - ROUND 7 (DAY 1) MOMENTUM is often the irresistible force of cricket, and it seems to be even more effective in games between rivals as fierce as Pakenham and Tooradin. Off the field, mateship rules between the two clubs - particularly their Premier sides. But on the field a fierce battle takes place every time the Lions and Seagulls meet. It’s one of pride. If it seemed all eyes were on the match-up at Toomuc Reserve on Saturday, it’s because they were. It loomed as the closest match-up of the four Premier games on paper and, so far at least, all has gone according to script. After being sent in to bat, the Seagulls got off to a strong start with openers Brenton Adams (28) and skipper Tom Hussey (30) putting on 64 for the opening wicket. But despite promising starts they were both removed within five runs of each other and from 0/63 at one stage the visitors slumped to 6/119. Thanks to a couple of excellent spells of tight, disciplined bowling from Russ Lehman (3/58 from 23 overs) and skipper Jason Williams (1/59 from 20), the Lions were right back in the contest. But there was another twist in the tail(end) ... Ben Mantel made a strong 47 for the Gulls in the middle-order but it was Jarred Thompson (27), Ash Adams (33) and Steve Hamill (28 not out) who made a huge impact in the final 10 to 15 overs of the day. Adams and Hamill in particular made good balls look decidedly average with a series of brutal blows - including one over the mid-wicket fence
Pakenham Premier quick Jack Ryan couldn’t believe this appeal against Tooradin was turned down on Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Saturday. 132009 on to the roof of the clubrooms - that took their side’s score to 9/262 at the close of play. It’s only fitting that such an arm wrestle between bat and ball would be so evenly poised at the halfway mark. “It was a battle of momentum and it went that way all day,” Williams said after day one. “They got away and we pegged them back, but one side never dominates a full day really.” Williams said he knew that once Lehman was brought into the attack, he’d do the job against a dangerous Tooradin middle-order. But Williams’ spin was just as valuable in restricting the visitors. “They were looking comfortable early but then I think we kept them to 25 runs in about 20 overs,” he said. “Russ just bowls that line and
length that’s always asking questions of the batsmen.” But Tooradin had enough wickets left in the shed to put the foot down after tea, and Williams said “they batted really smart”. “They had a couple of good hitters at the bottom there and they just found the gaps,” he said. “Ash (Adams) has a good eye and he showed what can happen when you bowl in his area.” Williams said anything around 250 was a par score at Toomuc Reserve, and Tooradin’s 262 fitted that bill. But he added that he’d back his men in to chase it down. The Lions’ batting stocks are strengthened this round with the in-form Greg Interlandi making the step up from Sub-District and James Vela taking on the wicket keeper-batsman role. But Williams said the
key this week would be “even contributions from top to bottom”. “I’m not expecting hundreds from Russ or Smitty (Chris Smith) - we just want everyone to play their role and I’ll be confident we can get the job done.” In District Division on Saturday, Pakenham Upper-Toomuc (1/22) is in the box seat against Clyde (106) and Nar Nar Goon-Maryknoll (6/231 against St Francis Xavier) has started well in its first game since letting young star Josh Lownds make the switch to the Tooradin Premier side. Finally, Pakenham’s Sub-District side will have to chase down more than 300 to knock off the Seagulls at Tooradin Recreation Reserve. The home side reached 8/308 on day one after being sent in to bat, with opener Ben Spicer (116) scoring an impressive century.

Kim and Gayle … they’re going from Jacks to Kings By DAVID NAGEL PAKENHAM-BASED trainer Kim Mayberry has prepared many winners in his time but not many compare to the win of Jacks ‘n’ Kings at Moonee Valley on Friday night. And it was a family triumph that made it so special. Kim’s wife Gayle has played a huge role in the Mayberry operation for years, but only 12 months ago she gain a licence, joining her husband as a registered co-trainer. Jacks ‘n’ Kings was Gayle’s first city runner, and became her first city winner when the fiveyear-old King Cugat gelding raced away with the $35,000 APC Logistics Handicap (3000m). “It was a very, very special night and I was probably more excited for Gayle to be honest,” Kim said. “I’ve had plenty of runners in town over the years but this is on par with anything I’ve experienced, it was seriously exciting.” The Mayberry’s have done a wonderful job with Jacks ‘n’ Kings, who has switched camps twice this year, from Lee Creek in Mount Gambier, to Craig Stewart in Millicent, before lobbing at the Mayberry’s property in Pakenham in early September. QUIZ NUMBER 1429 ANSWERS: 1. Los Angeles and Arizona 2. Cavalryman 3. Sir Francis Drake 4. Rowing 5. Sir Jack Hobbs 6. Dwight Davis 7. Sebastian Coe 8. Margaret Court 9. Eric Heiden 10.

Ivan Lendl
He had poor form and wasn’t much to look at. “We were unsure whether to buy him, but the owners told us he could jump, and we’re trying to build a jumps team, so that got us over the line,” Gayle said. “He’s a massive horse, 18 hands, but a real gentle giant, so we just had to be patient and now it’s paid off. “He’s amazing, such a lovely horse and I think we’re going to have some real fun with him.” The Mayberry’s have already had their share of fun, with Friday night’s win making it two wins and two placings for Jacks ‘n’ Kings in just four starts for the stable. Kim Mayberry said original plans had now been turned on their head. “He’s has absolutely exceeded all expectations,” he said. “When we got him he had a rating of 47, which made it very difficult to gain a start anywhere in Victoria, but he gained 15 rating points on Friday and is now up to a rating 69. “He’s been fast tracked now, just the way he won it was emphatic and he was still sprinting strong at the end of 3000-metres. “We’ve got him entered for a listed race at Werribee and the Bagot Handicap is an option.” Kim said the future looked bright for Jacks ’n’ Kings when he does finally make his way over the obstacles. “We love jumpers, we always have, and this bloke is one of the most natural jumpers I’ve seen,” he said. “We sent him over the jumps and he was very impressive, and my exact words to Gayle were… ‘We’re going to have a bit of fun with this horse’.” It seems like the smile is going to remain on the Mayberry’s faces for quite some time to come.

and the market at which it’s aimed most buyers will be satisfied with the dynamics. Yaris is approaching total sales of 200,000 in Australia and having spent a week in the latest model we can understand why people just keep coming back to them. It’s smooth, reasonably quite and pleasant enough to drive without being in any way exciting. The upgraded Yaris hatch range is covered by cappedprice servicing at a maximum of $130 per service, which again makes it very financially attractive. You get a lot of car with an excellent reputation for reliability for comfortably under $20,000 on the road. The Toyota range is available for test drive at Berwick Toyota, 751 Princes Highway, Berwick, on 9707 4455; Pakenham Toyota, 33 Commercial Drive, Pakenham, on 5945 1777; Cranbourne Toyota, 284 South Gippsland Highway, Cranbourne, on 5955 1111.

noise, vibration and harshness. More direct and linear steering response has been gained by new suspension calibration. All Yaris models now have a reversing camera and there’s automatic flashing of the hazard lamps under hard braking is fitted. The Yaris hatch has seven airbags and crash avoidance or minimisation features include vehicle stability and traction control, and ABS brakes with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and brake assist (BA). Yaris now has telescopic adjustment of the steering-column, previously it only gave you the option to adjust height by way of tilting it. Any feature that makes the driver more comfortable obviously adds safety. Yaris has had its body strengthened as part of this midlife makeover, it does have a reasonably solid feel and intrusion of noise and vibration into the cabin is noticeably lower than than previously. Performance from the 1.3-litre engine used in this entry level model is marginal, which is perfectly acceptable if there only one or two in the car and not driving up too many hills. The gearchange action is fine so working at the correct ratios is no hassle. We haven’t sampled an auto. Fuel consumption was in the eight to 10 litres per 100 kilometres range around town, which is higher than usual in this day and age. But the car is getting on in years and presumably bigger things are coming. On the freeway we got the consumption below seven litres per 100. Handling is safe but not exactly inspiring.

TOYOTA Yaris has been given a big facelift, and has extra equipment at little or no added cost. It’s doing a nice job of backing up big brother Corolla in the sales race (Corolla looks like being number one again this year) but Yaris may well be all that many smart buyers need, particularly if only ever used to carry one or two people. Others find that the Yaris can be used as a family car when the kids are young. One thing these people demand is back doors, so the three-door Yaris hatch has been pulled out of the range. The Yaris model names have been revised by the marketing department. The range now starts with the 1.3-litre Ascent, the car we tested. It now has 15-inch steel wheels instead of 14-inch. Toyota says the additional equipment fitted on the Ascent is valued at more than $2000, yet it has kept the price steady at $15,690 for the five-speed manual and $17,290 with auto transmission. Our review was done in a manual. The Yaris SX powered by a 1.5-litre engine, has had its price increased by $400 to $17,790 (manual) and $19,390 (automatic). Toyota says it now has more than $1000 of new features, foglamps, rear and side privacy glass and a new design of wheel covers. Finally, the topline auto-only Toyota Yaris ZR has been upgraded with auto-levelling LED headlights, a rear spoiler and diffuser, side skirts and Toyota Link connected mobility. It has more than $2000 of extra equipment but is priced only $1300 higher at $22,690. When we opened the story by saying the Yaris has had a ‘big’ facelift that was a literal statement. Big radiator grilles are all the rage at the moment, and the little Yaris hatch has one of the biggest and baddest of them all. There’s an upmarket touch in the new grille as well. Lexus is the prestige division of Toyota and the revised Yaris shares some of its frontal shape style with the recently launched Lexus NX hybrid and RC coupe. That can do the tiddler no harm at all. Changes to the interior are mainly in the trim colours to give it a brighter look but is still on the plain side to our eyes. Yaris has a 6.1-inch display audio screen that provides touch, drag and flick control of the type we are using in virtually all smartphones and tablets. A telephone remote is installed on the position on the steering wheel, and the stereo now has six speakers rather than four. Unseen, but very much appreciated, the Yaris hatch has a stiffer body shell to reduce
