■ Driver’s innocent actions spark suspicion ...

Limo car alarm By ANEEKA SIMONIS A MISUNDERSTOOD limo driver attempting to brighten the day of a group of Pakenham schoolchildren has been cleared of any suspicious behaviour by the affected school and police. At about 1.45pm on Monday, an Exotic Limo chauffeur was accused of inappropriately engaging with a group of Lakeside Primary School children as he waited to pick up a nearby bridal party. The driver was said to have been handing out material to around 30 schoolchildren while flashing the limo’s lights and lasers - prompting a bout of parent concerns for the children’s safety. Soon after the incident was reported to police, Exotic Limo conducted an internal review and issued a statement claiming the incident was a “genuine misunderstanding” which never put children in harm’s way. The statement explained the driver parked the limo close to the school, which provided a wide clearance for the vehicle, as he waited for a wedding party to emerge from a nearby home. While preparing the limo for the wedding party, a number of Lakeside Primary School children ran to the fence close to the car shouting “Bumblebee, Bumblebee,” - a reaction he and the limo company are used to due to the likeness of the car to popular characters in the Transformers movie series. “The chauffeur had 10 minutes before he needed to be at the pickup point for the wedding booking and decided to kindly turn on the lasers, lights and show the children the sounds that the limousine makes,” the statement read.

“As he is instructed to do by Exotic Limo, the chauffeur also handed out Bumblebee posters with the Transformers images and Exotic Limo business cards to promote the goodwill of the business.” Students, who never left the school grounds, were also pictured in the background of the limo - another commonplace practice by the company which asks chauffeurs to capture their fleet in action across Melbourne. “At no time during this interaction did anything untoward happen involving your children. The children were categorically not offered a ride in the limousine,” the statement read. “Our driver departed the street and continued to his wedding booking as usual. He did not harbour any ill thoughts towards your children and in fact, is incredibly hurt by the vilifying rumours surrounding his actions.” Lakeside Primary School Principal Gary Norbury said the school had accepted the explanation and had sent information home to parents. Police are not investigating the incident. “There was no concern from our point of view,” said Acting Senior Sergeant Darren Hedge from Pakenham police. The driver was described as a family man “with a kind heart.” “He only wanted to brighten their days by giving them the posters and showing them some of the features of the limousine, which from our extensive experience in the community, really does brighten many people’s lives, something we are very proud of,” the statement read.

Remembered forever ABOUT 4000 people gathered around the cenotaph in Pakenham to pay their respects to Anzac soldiers in the early hours of the morning on Saturday. Dozens of wreaths were laid at the foot of the monument, protected by members of the catafalque party (pictured). Inscribed on the cenotaph are the names of brave soldiers who left the local community to serve the country at war. They will never be forgotten. 138148 Picture: ROB CAREW

Mini Yakerboo, for major fun By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM THE Yakkerboo festival has become a highlight and a tradition for the kids at Pakenham Kindergarten in Main Street, and this year was no different. After the parade was called off earlier this month due to poor weather, staff organised a ‘mini Yakkerboo’, allowing children the opportunity to parade in the costumes they had worked so hard on. Mini Yakkerboo was held on Thursday and Friday of last week, allowing both groups at the kinder a chance to participate. The Yakkerboo atmosphere was recreated, with face- paint-

ing, balloon animals, a cake stall, a circus tent and acrobatics all happening on the day. Children threw lollies to their parents as they paraded throughout the grounds. Teacher Jamie Wursthorn said it was pleasing that the children got the opportunity to parade after all the preparation for Yakkerboo. “It was exhausting but a really fabulous day,” she said. “The kids absolutely loved it, they were so excited about wearing their costumes in the parade. “We received amazing support from a number of parents who stepped in to help make the event a success,” she said.

The children also sang happy birthday to Mr Yakkerboo. Ms Wursthorn said the kinder would be involved again next year. “It’s always a highlight. We’re definitely intending to participate next year, and hoping for better weather,” Ms Wursthorn said. The day was made possible through the support of a group of parents who came together at the last minute to help with the event. Teachers Anne-Marie Helmore, Jamie Wursthorn, Michelle Black, Jenny Bayliss, Liz Mertens and Lindsey Cunningham also devoted much of their energy towards making the day such a success.

The red group (Koalas) enjoyed their celebration on Friday.

Kids lined up for tickets. Mia and Lizzie donned bright colours.

Students step it out By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM STUDENTS at Beaconhills College could be proud of more than just their running efforts at a recent crosscountry event. Each year the ‘Run for Bangladesh’ is held to support the education of underprivileged Bangladeshi students, through the charity organisation CO-ID (Co-operation in Development.) This year’s event was held at the college on Friday 17 April. Over its involvement with the charity, Beaconhills has helped to raise funds to build a school and pre-school. The charity is responsible for the construction of 41 schools and five pre-schools in one of the poorest regions of Bangladesh.

Beaconhills’ photographer and archivist John Waterhouse, who is also a member of the CO-ID committee, said the fund-raising was a sustained effort. “We need to raise $8000 a year to pay for the wages of four teachers at the Beaconhills school (called Morhab) along with materials,” he said. Last year’s fund-raising effort funded the wages of the teachers, as well as teacher training and an administration centre to store school supplies. Donations are still being finalised for this year’s race, but organisers are hoping to top last year’s effort. Money is also collected at the college’s eight house church services throughout the year.

Year 6 cross-country first place winners Ryan M. and Rhianna C. ran hard for Bangladesh at the recent middle school fund-raiser.

Maddy’s friends gather together By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A SECOND rally for 20-year-old Maddison Murphy-West, who was found dead in her Pakenham home a year and a half ago, will be held at Casey Fields this Sunday to help raise funds for her son’s education. Maddy’s family, friends and loved ones will gather at the rally from 12.30 in memory of the smiling young woman who was found dead at her Ahern Road home in Pakenham on 23 October, 2013. Homicide squad detectives continue to investigate her death.

The anti-violence rally was first organised by Maddy’s friends last year after media reports emerged last year that she was allegedly physically assaulted in the year before her mystery death. As well as to her three-year-old son, Noah, some of the funds raised at the rally, organised this year by Maddy’s family, will also go towards victims of crime and domestic violence groups. Maddy’s mum, Paula, said the rally would always be a bittersweet memorial for her and her family. “You’ve just got to keep going,

that’s what Maddy would want anyway and that’s what the boys need,” she said. “Hopefully we get some nice weather and people roll up.” The ‘boys’ are Paula’s two-yearold son, Brydon, and Noah who she now has custody of.

NARRE Warren police are appealing for witnesses after reports of a man driving erratically, tailgating and striking a Lexus with a hammer on the Monash Freeway on Thursday 23 April. The silver 2010 Toyota Rukus was driving outbound near Heatherton Road about 3.15pm. Police were told the car began to tailgate a white Lexus and then stopped in front of it. The driver then got out of his car and began hitting the Lexus with a hammer. It is reported the man got back into his car and continued driving onto the South Gippsland Highway and onto the Westernport Highway. Police intercepted the vehicle on the Westernport Highway. The 23-year-old man did not comply with police direction and was subsequently arrested at the scene. The Carrum Downs man was released a short time later pending further inquiries. The male driver of the Lexus was not injured during the incident. Police want to speak with witnesses and anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Strike in the kitchen By CASEY NEILL MONASH Health has refused to confirm whether it threw away food left unattended during a kitchen strike last week - or served it up to patients. Health Workers Union (HWU) members walked off the job on Wednesday 22 April at the Kingston facility that produces meals for hospitals across the south east, including Dandenong and Casey. Union Secretary Diana Asmar said the move followed months of health and safety complaints that had “fallen on deaf ears”. “We’ve got members that have to pre-

pare food from sub-zero temperatures in freezers because there’s simply not enough room,” she said. HWU officials told the Journal that workers walked away from the kitchen between 10.30am and 2.30pm. “No one was allowed to touch the food. The majority of the food prep was left in an open room for over three hours,” a spokesman said. “In terms of food handling guidelines, generally it’s about 90 minutes. “This is danger zone in terms of food contamination, especially salmonella.”

He said the kitchen prepared about 9000 meals on an average day but Wednesdays was a ‘double production’ day. He said about 40 per cent of the day’s food was left sitting out during the strike more than 7000 meals. “If you start giving patients food that hasn’t been prepared properly... then vulnerable patients could die,” Ms Asmar said. Monash Health spokeswoman Holly Gilligan said the hospital group “had to throw out a small amount of food in accordance with our strict food hygiene guidelines”.

She would not confirm how much food was affected or how the hospitals covered any shortfall in meals. “The safety of our patients and our staff is and continues to be Monash Health’s first priority, all food produced was produced in line with our approved Food Safety Plan,” Ms Gilligan said. “There was no impact at Dandenong Hospital, Casey Hospital or any other Monash Health site, all patients received their regular meals. “Our kitchen staff remained on-site during this time.”

Soccer surge help kicks off for club struggle By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY council will set up a special soccer committee to help struggling clubs in the municipality. Earlier this month the council carried a motion for the Casey Association Football (Soccer) Reference Committee to be established by September this year, with meetings to be held twice a month. The motion was raised by Four Oaks councillor Rafal Kaplon in response to the “overwhelming pleas” by representatives from clubs in his ward for extra resources to support the “skyrocketing” growth of European football in the area. He said many soccer clubs in Casey were already using multiple reserves to cater for their growing playing lists and the council had now run out of allocation space. “Clubs are struggling to access enough oval sites due to the large numbers of players and teams they already have, and have already had to turn players back,” Cr Kaplon said.

Cr Kaplon said Berwick City Soccer Club, Endeavour Sporting Club and Endeavour United Soccer Club been left with no choice but to turn players away. “An Afghan community club wanted to set up in Casey and a Romanian club wanted to relocate to Endeavour Hills from Knox City Council but we haven’t been able to accommodate any new teams in the north of the municipality,” he said. “The truth is the whole Melbourne Metro Region is suffering a shortage of soccer facilities and Casey will be hardest hit with its booming population. “Therefore it was my sincere belief that the best approach forward is through a proactive rather than reactive process where council and the community can approach these issues together from a joint perspective.” Casey councillors Rafal Kaplon, Rosalie Crestani, Susan Serey and Amanda Stapledon will be appointed to the reference committee. For more information, contact Casey Berwick City under-15s player Andre Grimwood in action last season. 129207 Picture: DONNA OATES Council on 9705 5200.

Break-in vehicle gets stolen A CAR has been stolen from a Berwick property despite an occupant being home at the time. The maroon Nissan 200SX was stolen from the driveway of the Mansfield Street property about 6.20pm on Sunday 26 April but the male resident didn’t realise the car had been stolen until other occupants arrived and alerted him to the missing car. It’s believed the thieves entered the house through an unlocked door and stole the car keys and a wallet from the kitchen bench. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Power tools raid’s toll A SET of power tools and accessories were stolen from a Lysterfield South property last week. It’s understood a thief entered the Greenview Close property through a garage door and made off with saws, drills and battery chargers sometime between 10pm on Monday 20 April and 6am on Tuesday 21 April. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Minister pops in for green cubby push By LACHLAN MOORHEAD EDUCATION Minister James Merlino visited Berwick Fields Primary School this week to announce $100,000 in State Government funding for an eco cubby at the school. It was one of several visits made by Mr Merlino to a number of primary and high schools in Casey on Tuesday 28 April. Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley joined Mr Merlino during his visit to Berwick Fields, where he confirmed the funding for the project. “The eco cubby will be a fantastic addition to Berwick Fields primary, providing students with a unique area to learn about sustainability and the environment,” he said. “The Andrews Labor Government is making Victoria the education state. “By investing in education and rebuilding our schools we will ensure our kids get the best start in life.” Berwick Fields School Council vice president Kerrigan La Brooy said the eco cubby would be a great addition to the school. “I can’t wait to see students and teachers getting their hands dirty in what will truly be an outstanding new facility,” he said. “I’m hoping it will provide our

to confirm $15,000 in State Government funding for the school’s Future Problem Solving team. The grant will go towards the team’s upcoming visit to Iowa, in the USA, where the group will represent Australia in the World Championships.

“I know that this team will again make us proud as they take on the world and I wish them all the best for such an exciting and worthwhile adventure,” Ms Graley said. Mr Merlino also stopped by James Cook Primary School in Endeavour Hills during Tuesday’s visit to Melbourne’s south-east.

Ron behind it all By JIM MYNARD HIGHLY respected Casey engineer, Ron Chidgey, was honoured with a mayoral reception and presented with a key to the City of Casey, to mark his retirement. Ron was recognised as an obliging officer, able and ready to help in the community, very often above the call of duty. Former mayors, officers, and community workers attended the function held in the civic centre on Friday 17 April. Casey Mayor Mick Morland presented Ron with the key and said he had been involved in some way with almost all projects in the Cities of Berwick and Casey during his 45year local government career. “He is respected by councillors, staff, and the community, especially the volunteer groups,” Cr Morland said. Casey chief executive Mike Tyler said Ron began his career with the City of Doncaster and Templestowe in January 1970. “This was before I started secondary school. “In 1973 he obtained his Diploma of Civil Engineering from Caulfield Institute of Technology, and on Monday 5 August 1974 began work as an engineer with the City of Berwick. “In 1980 he obtained what was then the ‘Holy Grail’ for council engineers, his municipal engineers qualification, and was appointed senior design engineer at Berwick, a senior staff appointment. “Following local government amalgamations, in July 1995 Ron was appointed manager technical services at Casey. “He was appointed community projects officer in the Community Services Division in July 1998.” Mr Tyler said Ron returned to large project roots in September 2009 and took on a role in the Capital Works Programming Department. He said the hallmark of Ron’s career is that he was a growth municipality engineer. “This was in three growth coun-

Give cats a chance

OPEN DAY THURSDAY 30th APRIL 10am - 2pm

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH MOTHER cats being dumped after birth is a story 2nd Chance Cat Rescue founder Daniela Maslen hears all too often. On average, the private cat rescue organisation will have 30 to 50 cats and kittens in foster care. “We have a limit of 50 cats because we can’t afford to look after anymore if we aren’t selling them,” Ms Maslen said. A cat from 2nd Chance Cat Rescue will cost $200 and means the organisation can continue to rescue stray, injured and dumped cats. “We are keeping them for however long it takes to re-home them and I have to say no to more cats because I can’t afford to look after them and don’t have the space,” she said. Ms Maslen spends $140 a fortnight on dry food alone. “Because I have so many cats ready for adoption I have already invested all the money in them and can’t rescue anymore.” All of the money raised through fund-raisers and re-homing the cats goes towards food, kitty litter, medication, vet bills, de-sexing, microchipping and a giveaway adoption pack. The team at 2nd Chance Cat Rescue held an adoption day on Saturday 11 April. “We had quite a few people attend but we went home with all our kittens,” Ms Maslen said. Currently, 2nd Chance Cat Rescue has 36 cats and kittens looking for a home and another 15 newborns that will be added to their growing list. “While shelters and pounds are re-homing older kittens and cats for free or at heavily discounted prices, as a private rescue we can’t follow this trend of giving a life away for free,” she said. Ms Maslen said cat colonies were a growing problem that merely culling can’t fix. “Culling the cats doesn’t help, you need to de-sex the animals and that’s where the problem stops, it’s a major problem in the City of Casey,” she said. City of Casey community safety manager Caroline Bell said all cats needed to be de-sexed

Paige and Clementine need a home. 137792 and micro-chipped prior to registration under the Domestic Animals Act. “In addition, landowners within Botanic Ridge are precluded from owning or keeping cats,” Ms Bell said. The council, in conjunction with the Lost Dogs Home, runs reduced cost micro-chipping days twice a year but animal advocate Ms Maslen said: “The City of Casey gives people no incentive to de-sex cats apart from cheaper rates on micro-chipping. “People who don’t de-sex will most likely not register the animal either. Responsible pet ownership should be a must,” Ms Maslen said. “Kittens born in spring can have their own kit-

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS ten in autumn. “It’s horrendous that baby kittens can be pregnant and having babies themselves, and I see this all the time. “Free de-sexing for cat owners or a discounted price for people that can’t afford it in Casey will stop the over population of cats in the area,” she said. The team at 2nd Chance Cat Rescue will attend an adoption day on Saturday 9 May at 10am to 5pm at Best Friends Pet Care Super Centre in Mornington. A raffle will be held on the day and handmade cat themed cards will be available to buy.

Care opens up By LACHLAN MOORHEAD MENTAL wellbeing is a topic that needs to be discussed regularly and openly, according to Narre Warren Lions Club president Lorraine Riches. This is a big reason why Ms Riches helped organise a special information session on depression at the Casey council chambers last Thursday night in conjunction with the Narre Warren Lions Club and Beyondblue and supported by local and state politicians. The Pakenham and Endeavour Hills Lions Clubs, and the Berwick Lionesses also leant their support to the event. It comes as Beyondblue and the Lions Clubs of Australia joined forces last year to create the Joining Hands initiative, a project which will focus on raising awareness around anxiety and depression. The Casey event included presentations from guest speaker Tony Wynd, Monash Health

representatives and Ms Riches herself - who reflected on her late mother’s battle with depression. “I think it is very crucial, very vital, to get out there that you don’t have to be a health professional to get out and talk about it,” Ms Riches said after the event. “The Federal Government organises R U OK day, but instead of just one day in September, let’s make it every day.” Working as a nurse, Lorraine said she continually sees how depression and anxiety can leave victims helpless and not knowing where to turn. “Some people are left almost catatonic, and they can’t function,” she said. “Others just go through the motions.” The gold coin donations raised from the event will all go towards Beyondblue. “Even some people feel alone within their own families

and are reluctant to speak to anyone,” Lorraine said. “Everyone’s been touched by knowing somebody with anxiety or depression in their lives. “And with the stigma and their response, sometimes you just don’t how to approach them.” Lions is one of the largest service clubs in the world, with more than 1400 clubs across Australia. The volunteer organisation helps the needy and assists in emergencies, while also supporting children in various school projects. The Narre Warren group gets together on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Narre Warren Senior Citizens Centre at 7.30pm.

All armed for Anzac By LACHLAN MOORHEAD AND CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS POLICE were armed at Anzac Day services throughout Casey on Saturday as thousands of people came to honour the fallen, undaunted by an alleged terrorist plot targeting services in Melbourne’s south-east. Only a week after details of the alleged terrorist attack surfaced, the Casey community gathered throughout Berwick, Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Pearcedale, and Tooradin to commemorate the special centenary of the Gallipoli landing. Twenty-four hours before Anzac Day, British police charged a 14-year-old UK boy with trying to incite beheadings and attacks on Australian Anzac Day commemoration services. The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London last Friday and was denied bail.

UK prosecutors said the British teenager had incited someone “to carry out an attack at an Anzac parade in Australia with the aim of killing and/or causing serious injury to people". “The second allegation is that on 18 March 2015, the defendant incited another person to behead someone in Australia," Deborah Walsh, deputy head of counter terrorism at the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement. The charges came after officers swooped on five Casey teenagers in morning raids on Saturday 18 April following a tip-off from British police. A 200-strong joint state and federal police counter-terrorism team executed seven search warrants in Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Hallam and Eumemmerring as part of Operation Rising. As a result Harun Causevic of Hampton Park and Sevdet Ramdan Besim of Hallam were charged with

conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts. A Narre Warren man, 18, is facing prohibited weapons charges. He was released on bail. Two other Narre Warren men, aged 18 and 19, were released without charge. Besim appeared briefly at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday 24 April and was further remanded. He and Causevic are expected to apply for bail on Thursday 30 April. Causevic’s lawyer Rob Stary told Channel 9 that it was inappropriate for his client, who had no criminal history, to be held in a maximum security prison. Causevic was held by police without charge for three days under a preventative detention order at Barwon Prison. It was the first time such an order had been exercised in Victoria. “He should be treated in the

same way as any other remand prisoner,” Mr Stary said. “He should be housed in an appropriate remand facility, not in the state’s maximum security unit.” Reports have linked the three charged teenagers with Springvale’s Al-Furqan Islamic Centre in Springvale South, the same centre attended by Numan Haider who stabbed police and was shot dead outside Endeavour Hills police station last year. On Wednesday Al-Furquan announced it was permanently closing its doors. Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed last Tuesday 21 April that it would be alleged that multiple Anzac Day services were potentially being targeted and that “edged weapons” were involved. “That related to a specific threat to police members and by extension other members of the general public,” he said.

THE bidding was opened earlier this month when a special community auction was held in Narre Warren. The Berwick Springs View Club held its annual Box Auction on Monday 20 April, for which members brought a beautifully wrapped box to be auctioned off during the event. Enthusiastic bidding for the

boxes saw $432 go towards the club’s Learning for Life students. Berwick Springs View Club, a friendship group, meets at 11.30am on the third Monday of the month at the Berwick RSL for lunch with a guest speaker. New members are always welcome, and to express interest in attending the monthly meeting contact Patricia on 8786 5557 or Jenny on 8794 7357.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD POLICE have released images of four boys they wish to speak to after a mobile phone was stolen from a pop-up kiosk at Fountain Gate earlier this month. The phone was stolen from Love Locks and Co pop-up kiosk at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre on Saturday 11 April. Police believe the boys, pictured, may be able to help with their investigation. If you know who they are or have any other information on the theft, contact Narre Warren police on 9705 3111 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Police want to speak to these boys in relation to a phone theft incident at a pop-up store in Fountain Gate earlier this month. 138217

It’s understood the offender used the fire extinguisher to smash the glass front door of the Sladen Street surgery around 2am on Tuesday 21 April and then ransacked the ground level, but soon fled after triggering an alarm. Nothing appears to have been stolen in the incident.

Truck driver on jail road By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN who â€˜borrowedâ€™ his Hallam employerâ€™s truck and fuelcards for a two-day circuitous journey to South Australia has been jailed until late July. Mathew John Tormey, 44, had been a sub-contracted driver for barely three weeks when he was allegedly granted permission to borrow the businessâ€™s Toyota Hilux on 31 August. A court was told on Monday that Tormey requested the utility to help his relative move house in Narre Warren South. Police prosecutor Senior Constable Cameron Smithett told the court that Tormey instead took a 2008 Isuzu truck for a two-day trip via Lakes Entrance, Ouyen, Charleston and Bairnsdale to Berry in South Australia, racking up a $713.52 bill on his employerâ€™s fuelcards. The truck was recovered undamaged, parked behind a service station in Pakenham Upper.

The father-of-five told police he believed he had permission to take the truck and his plan was to get the truck back to his employerâ€™s yard by the next day â€œbefore anyone knewâ€?. The accused appeared at Dandenong Magistratesâ€™ Court via video link from Fulham Correctional Centre. He was already serving three monthsâ€™ jail for criminal damage, breach of a family violence intervention order and breach of a suspended sentence. Tormeyâ€™s lawyer said the accused was helping his expartner to move from Lakes Entrance to South Australia. â€œIn my clientâ€™s favour... his response was not to commit violence but to relocate that woman.â€? While in South Australia, he broke the news of his and the truckâ€™s whereabouts to his boss - who granted him permission to use the fuelcard on his way back from interstate, the lawyer said.

His offers to repay the employer were rebuffed, the lawyer said. The accused found prison difficult due to his post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety, and had â€œlined upâ€? a job on a fishing trawler upon his scheduled release on 4 July. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen sentenced Tormey to a concurrently-served three monthsâ€™ jail term and suspended his driving licences for six months. Tormey was told had he not pleaded guilty, he would have served five months without concurrency. â€œThe more you come back to court, youâ€™ll keep receiving terms of imprisonment,â€? Mr Vandersteen said. â€œThis is the last gasp as far as three-to-four-month terms go.â€? Tormey was also ordered to pay restitution for the fuelcardsâ€™ bills.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A NINE-YEAR-OLD girl has gone all the way to Casey council to have a dog park introduced to the municipality so her two pet huskies have somewhere safe to roam. Angelina Whinney-Smith submitted a 46-signature petition and a heartfelt letter to the council this month calling for a dog park to be set up in the municipality. Councillor Rosalie Crestani presented the petition to the council - which will look into the concept - and read out Angelinaâ€™s letter. Angelina, a Grade 4 student, wrote that she wanted an area in Casey she could take her two huskies to, Blizzard and Leiha, without worrying they would run off. â€œI think the community could benefit from this because it gives dogs the chance to safely run around and be free.

Backpacks with love By GEORGIA WESTGARTH SHOES, pyjamas, a blanket and a toothbrush are just some of the items thousands of children and teenagers placed in foster and emergency care don’t have. Cranbourne resident and founder of Backpacks 4 Vic Kids, Sally Ritter-Whelan said most children were left with a garbage bag if anything. “When relocations occur most kids are often left with nothing, usually barely clothed, sometimes it’s just a pair of shorts they’re wearing or a really soggy nappy,” Ms Ritter- Whelan said. Last year Ms Ritter-Whelan was shocked to hear the backpacks and nappy bags supplied to Victorian children and teenagers when relocated were packed, funded and transported from far north Queensland. “After hearing that Backpacks for Aussie Kids in far north Queensland, who are in their sixth year, were trying to meet the needs of Victoria as well, I decided I would start Backpacks 4 Vic Kids in November, with a vision to supply nappy bags and back packs to children aged 0 to 17.” The independent body linked with their sister organisations in South Australia and Goondi, far north Queensland are not for profit organisations working closely with agencies that place children in care. Ms Ritter-Whelan said the backpacks and nappy bags were given to the carer when the child arrived at their new location to help them settle in. “Our aim is to support the carers to make the first 24 to 48 hours easier on them and lighten the load on heavily overworked social welfare officers, and of course our main focus is to give the kids something to help ease the trauma of transition and relocation, something to cuddle and something to keep them warm,” Ms RitterWhelan said. The packing and sorting is all done out of a purpose-built room in Ms Ritter-Whelan’s home. “It’s been fitted out with cupboards and shelves and we organise the packs by age group,” she said. Backpacks include a blanket, soft toy, shampoo and conditioner, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, a hairbrush, deodorant, three pairs of new undies, two sets of clothes, one set of pyjamas, a torch and more. “We expect this to grow very quickly - based on the response from agencies in the last week, it appears that our goal of 600 backpacks in the first year will be well exceeded,” she said. The Backpacks 4 Vic Kids mission has asked to be expanded by agencies to include children in refugees and those that are still monitored by services under home parenting. Ms Ritter-Whelan said the high rate of children in foster care was a major concern. “Victoria is in a crisis because the need for care is increasing each year and the registration of foster carers is decreasing,” she said. The filled backpacks are ordered from the Victoria Police, the Department of Human Services and foster care agencies statewide with all items donated or fund-raised by Backpacks 4 Vic Kids.

Ms Ritter-Whelan said she was hoping more people thought about their ability to foster care or consider respite for a weekend or a month. “It’s surprising who has the capacity to foster care - a university student living in an apartment had the ability to foster and did,” she said. A sausage sizzle at the Cranbourne Bunnings Warehouse at 1205 Thompsons Road will be held on Monday 8 June. To donate, visit Backpacks 4 Vic Kids on Facebook.

Mum is set free

CFA crowded, and needs change By GEORGIA WESTGARTH WITH space a major concern, Hampton Park CFA volunteers have to get changed in between the trucks and uniform hooks before undertaking emergency calls or training. “We can only do theorybased learning on site,” CFA captain Troy Smith said. Averaging 400 emergency calls a year, the Hampton Park CFA are calling for a new location to cater for the rising waiting list. “We have 20 volunteers on the waiting list to join,” Capt Smith said. “We haven’t turned back volunteers yet, but our membership base is growing and the current location can’t facilitate our members, we are very cramped as it is, into the future we may have to knock back volunteers,” he said. State Labor Member for Narre Warren South Judith Graley said there was no room for growth. “Unfortunately their facilities are extremely small and outdated, lacking change rooms, adequate training areas, secure parking and everything is located within the one space, including equipment,” she said. The current arrangement of uniform hooks leaves new recruits’ overalls stored in the adjacent shed due to the lack of wall space in the main building. “New recruits have to go outside to get changed and in the shed, and in reality we would like to take more than

The CFA is forced to travel to industrial areas to train each week and most volunteers park on the side street and at the Robert Booth reserve across the road due to limited parking on the premises. A volunteer of 16 years, Capt Smith said it had been spoken about since he started and had been a real concern for more than 10 years. “We’ve outgrown this facility for a while, the Hampton Park progress association put in a push for relocation through Councillor Wayne Smith more than a year ago, no action was taken,” Capt Smith said.

sponds to calls in Dandenong South, Lyndhurst, Lynbrook and Hampton Park and Capt Smith said a move further south would make them more centralised to their primary response areas. “Further south is where the core of our membership base lives and is more centralised to the entire response area, but land needs to be secured as soon as possible,” he said. “We need to act before it’s too late; land availability in the area is very scarce, and we need to get land that’s available.” On Tuesday 14 April Ms Graley put in a constituency question to the Minister for Emergency Services Jane Garrett.

“I have asked the minister to visit to not only meet with these wonderful volunteers but to also see the many challenges they face as they strive to protect our community during its most difficult times,” she said. “However, I have been advised that the CFA does not have any immediate plans or funding allocated to replace or upgrade the Hampton Park fire station.” The team at the Hampton Park CFA are urging for immediate action in the coming 2015/2016 State Budget. “A lot of people have talked about moving us and upgrading us, but no-one’s made the monetary commitment,” Capt Smith said.

A BERWICK woman who has been caught driving while suspended several times has escaped a jail term because of her efforts to reform. Hayley Maree Stephenson, 23, pleaded guilty to her sixth such offence at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday after being intercepted by police on Clyde Road, Berwick, about 7.30pm on 13 March. Defence lawyer Effie Lagos told the court that Stephenson was confused over her licence status, which was suspended for a month from 20 February. The accused had a “terrible” driving record among a “troubled past” which included dishonesty and violence offences and being “out of control” with an ice habit, Ms Lagos said. She had most recently lost her driving licence for three months on 7 April. Stephenson had, however, “come a long way” complying with a previous 12-month community-corrections order by performing unpaid work and attending therapy sessions. She had reconciled with her mother - who she had previously assaulted, studied for first-aid and OH&S certificates, worked at a dog boarding kennel and had plans to start a children's horse-riding school.

“There’s a troubled past but the future is looking a lot better,” Ms Lagos said. Police prosecutor Richard Symmons argued for a jail term because Stephenson’s criminal history put a community corrections order “out of range”. Magistrate Greg Connellan said it would create more expense and problems to jail Stephenson, who is mother to a young child. “She’s in a fortunate position that it wouldn’t make any sense in the interests of the community to send her to jail. “We’ve just got to stop her driving.” Mr Connellan, noting Stephenson’s multiple speeding offences, ordered her to complete an accredited defensivedriving course. “The whole point is to focus your mind. You’ve been given an opportunity to correct your lead-footed behaviour.” Mr Connellan warned Stephenson that she invited a jail term if she re-offended but commended her with a “well done” for otherwise turning her life around. Stephenson was also convicted, put on a 12-month good-behaviour bond, fined $500 and had her licence suspended for two months.

IDYLLIC PARADISE

HARKAWAY

FROM PAGE 1.

NESTLED between Harkaway and Guys Hill is what can only be described as an idyllic retreat - a 26-hectare piece of paradise that simply has to be seen to be believed. An incredibly secluded hidden treasure, it appears along the meandering driveway entrance as if out of some kind of fantasy. But it’s perfectly located. The house - a modern wonder interwoven into the historic landscape - takes pride of place on the property’s highest point, with easy access from both suburbs. With the pipeline bordering the property on one side, and with Parks Victoria land, the neighbouring creek, and the stunning Berwick Montuna Golf Course also surrounding it, privacy is assured. The property perfectly blends together nature and flawlessly-managed pasture ideal for equine activities, hobby farming, or as an awe-inspiring rural retreat. The portico at the house’s main entrance is highlighted by a perfectly manicured garden lining the sealed driveway. With LED downlights illuminating the walkway into the house, it’s like arriving at a five-star hotel or resort. A spectacular entrance is capped off by the front door, itself, which opens into a lobby in front of the massive kitchen, living, dining and entertaining area which, together, acts more like a central meeting hub for the two wings of the house connected to the left and right of it. To the left, what could be easily referred to as the parents’ or adults’ wing. To the right, kids’ paradise.

The professional office is so much more than a study; it’s an extremely spacious working office space ideal for running a business from home. What are practically floor-to-ceiling windows in the master bedroom give the first real indication as to how much meticulous planning went into each room of the house. The ensuites and guest bathrooms are fully appointed, yet elegant in their simplicity. Everything from the master bedroom, to the central living space, to the kids' bedrooms have stunning views looking out over key parts of the property; from the paddocks, to the infinity pool. It’s modern meets historical; new meets old and the juxtaposition is brilliant. Upon driving into the property, an old-style farm cottage and neighbouring picnic area help set the tone. The main house is just seven years old, with the current owners building it from the ground up - as well as completely transforming the property. Yet they also stayed true to its heritage, keeping many of the characteristics that locals of generations

past would remember so fondly. The house has reverse-cycle heating and cooling, as well as slab heating; and a full range of integrated Miele appliances really complement the main living, kitchen and dining space, which has seated up to 75 for dinner functions before. Security cameras, the entry gates, lighting, heating, and cooling are all controlled from a central unit inside the house - with power running to both ends of the property’s wide expanses. The boys’ and girls’ bedrooms are suitably themed, while a study just across the hall maximises the use of available space. The play, or rumpus, room could also double seamlessly as a home cinema. It’s wired as such and is sound-proof. It can also be perfectly blacked out, with the wall ideal for a cinema screen with downlighting to boot. The self-cleaning, solar and gas-heated infinity pool just off the decking is supermodern in its features and, looking out over the ageless pasture, it’s another perfect blend of the new meeting the old.

Even the main driveway up to the house from the Guys Hill end was adapted to fit around the existing trees; so as to carefully protect them. There’s an abundance of breath-taking native flora and fauna, yet the property is little more than a five-minute drive into Berwick, and on to the Monash Freeway city-bound. This property is ideal for anyone with a keen interest in agriculture or horticulture, but it’s also incredibly diverse and is seemingly limitless in its potential.

CLYDEVALE UNFOLDS AS THE PLACE TO LIVE IN CLYDE NORTH UNPRECEDENTED land sales and perfect positioning see Abiwood’s Clydevale estate leading the charge in the developing suburb of Clyde North as it becomes the popular new location for homebuyers in Melbourne’s south east. More than 180 blocks of land have been snapped up since the development’s launch in December 2014 as buyers have recognized the perfect combination of lifestyle and location Clydevale offers, making it the ideal new community to call home. Searching for the ideal home to complement a block of land can be a daunting process for first or second homebuyers which is why Clydevale will house a generous and innovative 42 home display village boasting all the latest designs from many of Melbourne’s best builders, set to open in 2016. Abiwood’s Clydevale incorporates three precinct areas, the Azure Precinct, Magenta Precinct and the soon to be released Auburn Precinct - and is a dominating presence with a total area covering an impressive 80 hectares of Clyde North. Construction has already commenced on the first stages of the Clydevale Azure Precinct, including the future display village area. An outdoors life is encouraged at Clydevale - with more than 12 hectares dedicated to parks, gardens, waterways and beautifully landscaped open space. Parks, ponds and playgrounds will delight the children while kilometers of walking and bike tracks provide for

inspiring outdoor exercise and adventure. A quality early education centre and an indoor swimming centre will add to the lifestyle. Importantly, Clydevale’s just-released Magenta Precinct includes the new Clyde North Primary School and sports fields. Perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from Berwick, 45 minutes from the CBD and a leisurely drive from Phillip Island, Clydevale has the best of all worlds. Residents will live within walking distance of new regional shopping centres and the new Clyde North Town Centre on Hardys Rd, and close to plenty of established amenities - including a host of excellent schools, tertiary education options and Casey Fields sporting facilities. Clydevale is another signature project developed by Melbourne-based developer Abiwood which is committed to creating vibrant, connected and sustainable communities - places where people can enjoy their homes, their neighborhoods and their life. Whether a young couple searching for their first home, a family seeking more space or someone who’s looking for a whole new lifestyle to enjoy, it’s all here at Clydevale. The Clydevale sales office is open from noon to 5pm every day at 660 BerwickCranbourne Road, corner Hardys Road, Clyde North.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST By GEORGIA WESTGARTH THE South East Local Learning and Employment Network and the City of Casey put together a successful and hands-on Careers Expo and Try a Trade event on Tuesday 21 April. “It was fantastic we had around 3200 students attend with a big range of different exhibits, half of them being interactive,” work placement co-ordinator at South East Local Learning and Employment Network Mandy Stevens said. Students from schools throughout Casey and Cardinia had the chance to make pizza, roll dough, make ice cream, rock climb, plaster and lay bricks as well as planting as part of the horticulture exhibits, and sit on army trucks. Ms Stevens has worked with the expo since it started six years ago and said 400 students attended in year one. “Every year it’s grown, and we really tried to make this an interactive expo. “If it’s more engaged the students remember more and we had lots of giveaways, it’s an exciting day for all the students from Year 9 to Year 12,” she said. Along with interactive activities, universities and TAFE providers were available to speak with students about courses and the day offered information on music, design, health, community services and local councillors were also present. “Councillors were talking to students about jobs within the council and we had both local mayors, Cr Mick Morland and Cr Leticia Wilmot, come along and a short film was made to go on the council’s website,” Ms Stevens said.

Craig Gambetta from Holmesglen gives some bricklaying tips to student Magor. The annual event is set to continue to grow, Ms Stevens said. “A lot of kids don’t like travelling into the city and they miss out on the careers expos, it’s great that we have all these providers coming out to the southeast for our kids.” Ms Stevens said even locals who had

Hallam Senior College students JB, Caleb and Jono learn some tricks of the plumbing trade.

seen the event being advertised came along. “Next year it will be bigger and better, we are hoping to get more sponsors and even more room to fit more activities and hire marquees for more exhibits,” she said. Ms Stevens said the hospitality ex-

hibits were always a big hit as well as fixing the motors in the automotive exhibit. “The day gives kids the opportunity to try things before they choose a course and find out what’s available and they get to make more informed decisions,” she said.

Telstra women’s awards line-up NOMINATIONS are now open for the 21st Telstra Business Women Awards. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said the awards provided a unique opportunity to showcase exceptional businesswomen in the community. “These women are creative and passionate individuals whose leadership and success play a crucial role in driving the nation’s productivity and performance, ensuring our country remains relevant and competitive,” he said. State and territory winners will be named at evening events later this year and national awards including the prestigious title of Telstra Australian Business Woman of the Year will be announced at a gala dinner in Melbourne on Wednesday 25 November.

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015

Veteran debunks war’s myths By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM MOVING Anzac Day services in Pakenham and Officer over the weekend were fitting tributes for such a significant occasion. At the Pakenham dawn service, veteran of several Middle East deployments Major Guy Warnock delivered a moving address to a crowd of 4000. He debunked common Anzac myths and misconceptions. “We’ve been told that the Anzacs were bronzed, strapping lads from the country, expert horsemen and crack shots when the reality was that urbanised Victoria and New South Wales provided the majority of our troops. “Most were from cities and regional centres and most had never fired a gun before their enlistment,” he said. The men were joining up to serve an Empire most had never actually seen. Largely ignored by the rest of the world, Anzac Day was a significant event in Australian history, he said. “And the First World War was the biggest, most far reaching and traumatic event to happen to Australia in the last 227 years,” he said. “We are not remembering “war” and we are not celebrating “victory” - we are honouring men and women - real people, not just characters in history.” Respectful remembrance was again the tone at the re-opening of the Memorial Gates at Officer. First dedicated in 1951, the gates recognised the 10 Officer men killed in World War I and the five in World War II. Saturday’s opening marked the end of a complex moving process which maintained the original stones of the gates. In 2012 it was decided that the gates should be moved 30 metres from their original location to accommodate a new traffic intersection. Speaking at the opening, councillor Brett Owen said that the gates were an important piece of local history. “Officer is a much bigger place now but its community spirit has not waned,” he said. “The Officer and District Community Association mobilised to ensure this important piece of local history was preserved and treated with the care and respect it deserved.”

Turn out onto a floured surface and lightly knead into a ball. Split the dough into two balls. 2. Roll each ball of dough out between two sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick.

Using a skewer poke a small hole into the top of each teabag for the string. Bake at 160 deg C for 12-15 minutes or until a light golden colour. Cool on a wire rack. 3. Combine icing sugar, lemon rind and juice and water until smooth. Dip half of each cookie into icing and place on a wire rack to set.

Job options come to life By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A HALLAM-based youth employment group has been commended by it local state MP this month. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan applauded Youth Works Victoria in Hallam for its range of training courses re-implemented for 2015, including the Diploma of Community Services Work. Initiatives like the Dead Centre Program are also particularly designed to target local youths in the municipality who have lost a balance in their lives and helps to assist them in reengaging with their family, educators, and the community. “Youth Works have continued to prevent disengaged youths from falling through the cracks and it’s wonderful to see these young men and women find a sense of direction through the excellent support provided by the staff,” Mr Donnellan said. Last year Youth Works Victoria CEO Claude Olivares

Mark Watson, Temese Leilua, Claude Olivares and Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan. 137525 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS spoke to the News about youth employment levels in Casey getting worse and his mission to prevent young students from becoming more and more disengaged. “There are so many young people who have left school early or have been unable to complete further study or training that are now finding themselves unable to find work,” he said.

“We are doing all we can to educate, train and empower these young people but there are always more looking for help. “These kids need our help, they need our guidance and more must be done to ensure they have the same opportunities as anyone else.” Youth Works provides a range of programs and services for the youth of Casey to become qualified for future work. Mr Olivares said one of the biggest current issues in Casey was students dropping out several years before completing their VCE. “The biggest problem is too many kids dropping out of year 9 and year 10 and we have a huge problem with a lot of Pacific Islander youth that are completely disengaged,” he said. “There’s no agency or resources out there to help them and they fall through the cracks.” For more information, contact Youth Works on 9796 3724 or at info@youthworksvictoria.org.

Oaks project catches on LAKESIDE College, one of the 500 schools participating in the National Trust of Australia (Victoria)’s Gallipoli Oaks Project, has planted its very own special oak tree within its school ground today. “This tree will become a living memorial and reminder of the Anzac spirit for our community’ said Mr David Spike, principal of Lakeside College in Pakenham. “At the core of this project is the story of how a young Australian soldier, Captain Winter Cooke from Murndal, near Hamilton, noticed some unusual holly bushes while stationed at Gallipoli that had acorns like oak trees”, explains Ms Anna Foley, Senior Advocate for Environmental Heritage at the National Trust of Australia (Victoria). “Captain Winter Cooke remembered that his Uncle Samuel in Hamilton was a bit of a tree enthusiast; someone who would be interested in these rare acorns, and so sent a package of acorns to him from Gallipoli almost 100 years ago.” “Schools will plant seedlings that are direct descendants

College captains Natahlia Poli and Marcus Galic. 138149 of those acorns from Gallipoli, and in doing so, will have their own direct link to the environment that the soldiers endured during the campaign.“ Dr Graeme L. Blackman, chairman of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) said the planting of over 500 special Gallipoli Oaks during the Anzac Centenary would create enduring, living memorials in schools all across Victoria. “Our project demonstrates the Trust’s and the community’s commitment to the passing on of the Gallipoli history from

generation to generation as well as teaching an important environmental message about caring for our significant trees,” he said. The National Trust of Australia (Victoria)’s Gallipoli Oaks Project has been made possible by the Victorian Government’s Anzac Centenary Community Grant program and the assistance of many other generous sponsors and supporters. Schools can still register for the project at www.gallipolioaks.org.

Kid’s wide win makes history By DAVID NAGEL DARREN Weir’s super-consistent gelding Tooleybuc Kid created history on Sunday, overcoming a wide barrier to score a meritorious victory in the $100,000 Bruce Clough Mazda Pakenham Cup (2000m) at Racing.com Park, Tynong. A good sized crowd watched an exciting first edition of the cup at the Pakenham Racing Club’s new home after a mid-race move from the David Huxtable-trained Waltzing to Win set the race up for the swoopers. Patiently ridden by Brad Rawiller, Tooleybuc Kid came from well back on the turn to score by a half-length on the line from Kareeming, with Lucciola a nose away in third. Leon and Troy Corstens’ exciting stayer Pinstripe Lane ran fourth, claiming popular local hope The Wingman right on the line. Rawiller praised the Weir stable after the race and said he was confident going into the race despite drawing barrier 15. “It’s just fantastic, as one of Darren’s riders, to win a race like this and it’s a testament to the stable,” he said. “The key was to give him cover, even if we were three wide and a little bit back, you can pick them up here, the track’s beautiful and momentum’s the key. “We had a beautiful track into it and we had momentum when we hit the hill, so I was very confident on straightening and he just kept giving. “Typically of a Darren Weir horse, really, they race to win.” Tooleybuc Kid took some great form into the race, scoring a last start city win at Caulfield after running a game second at Mornington at the end of March. “He’s run at Mornington was super-credible with the big weight, he just couldn’t nab the winner giving it five and half kilos, but he’s in great

form,” Rawiller said. “It’s just great to win the first Pakenham Cup to be run here. “The actual track is as good as anything I’ve ridden on, it’s second to none, it’s incredible. “It’s great to be getting rides here and great to be on a winning chance in the Pakenham Cup. “This will be a wonderful facility for this region and the racing industry as a whole for years to come.” Owner Leon Wiegard on behalf of the Vingt Cinq Club Syndicate said it was a great honour to hold the cup, given the historic first run on the new track. Wiegard, who represented Australia in water polo at an Olympic level in 1964 and 1972, said he was thrilled to accept the cup from Kane Clough

By DAVID NAGEL PAKENHAM Cup broadcaster Terry Bailey might not have known it at the time, but when he uttered the following words he nearly lifted the roof off the new grandstand at Racing.com Park on Sunday. “Here comes The Wingman on the outside and Kareeming with runs,” Bailey roared as the field raced past the 300-metre mark and headed for home. A win by The Wingman, owned by a group of popular Pakenham locals, would have rivalled the 1943 win of Dark Felt, in the Melbourne Cup, as the biggest racing story to have ever come out of this town. Sure, the races are poles apart in significance to the racing industry, but The

Wingman, just like the Ray ‘Darby’ Webster-trained Dark Felt before him, has captured the imagination of a town steeped in racing tradition. The Wingman was gallant in defeat, finishing fifth, after a horror preparation that saw him non-competitive in four runs this time in. Spokesman for the owners, Chris Webster, said the group was proud of the nineyear-old Montjeu gelding who nearly gave their owners their ultimate thrill in the sport. “We love the horse,” Webster said. “When he broke down on the eve of the cup last year, on the Tuesday before the race, it broke our hearts and we still hurt over it today. We had a leading contender in the final cup at the old track

at Pakenham and let me tell you, that would have been a dream-come true. “To come out and run a highly-competitive race today means a hell of a lot to the whole group.” Webster said the ownership group was still hopeful of a good run despite the barren campaign. “His form read duck-egg, duck-egg, duck-egg, duckegg, but Robert Smerdon has had tremendous faith in him the whole way through the preparation,” he said. “Our target was always the Pakenham Cup and it was nearly a dream come true because he really dug in and gave it his best shot, and that’s why we love him. “Unfortunately we couldn’t bring home the bacon.”

Answers on the field By DAVID NAGEL

ROC’s Sarah Smith handled the wet conditions with ease at Toomuc Reserve during the Kangaroos’ B Grade win over Pakenham. 138109 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Eagles’ cracking win By DAVID NAGEL IT has huffed and it has puffed but it couldn’t blow the house down ... until Saturday that is ... Cranbourne finally got reward for its effort with a 32-goal win over Tooradin at Casey Fields. The Eagles - under new-coach Simon O’Shanassy - have already shown enough to suggest they’ll be there when the whips are cracking at the pointy end of the season. But a round one draw with Narre Warren, and then a three-goal loss to Berwick - both perennial finalists mind you - had left the Eagles feeling a little underwhelmed with their return. They sorted that out with a dominant performance against the Seagulls on Anzac Day. “We need to put things in perspective, and not get carried away, but it was great to get a win on the board,” O’Shanassy said. O’Shanassy has some very talented young players at his disposal. His young goal-shooting combination of Amy Paulsen and Monalisa Groom -a former all New Zealand junior - is coming together nicely, fed beautifully by Jess O’Hanlon. Natalie Sparks and Sam Kelly are two 17-year-olds on the rise, while Tara Cecil and Alanah Hardy add polish, being two of the better players in the league. “Tara’s a great defender, everyone in the league knows that, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player like Alanah who can play in any position on the court,” O’Shanassy said. The Eagles’ head-honcho said this could be one of the most even seasons on record. “It’s a great competition this season, with six or seven teams who have a realistic chance to play finals,” he said. Tooradin has now suffered two hefty defeats, but with Alexandra Duff, Alice Ditchfield and Shona Wells leading the way it should be back in the winners circle in no time. It was more like an Anzac Day Torvill and Dean Spectacular than a netball match when Pakenham rolled ROC by 14 goals at Toomuc Reserve. The famous British ice-dancers would have been proud, as players from both sides skated their way around a playing surface that could only be described as unsafe. The game was called off mid way through the third term when both teams agreed that the courts were far too dangerous to continue playing on. All four participants from the weekend now have a break as Berwick, Beaconsfield, Doveton and Narre Warren complete round three this Saturday, while Hampton Park has the bye.

CRANBOURNE and Pakenham may have scored impressive Anzac Day victories on the weekend but this Saturday’s part-two of round three in the South East Football League will provide us with a clearer understanding of the season ahead. The split-round of matches began with Cranbourne suffocating the life out of Tooradin, conceding just two goals on its way to a 44-point victory at Casey Fields, while Pakenham continued a perfect start to the season with a clinical 57-point dissection of ROC at Toomuc Reserve. Cranbourne’s midfield of Mat Fletcher, Brad Hermans and Max Gearon proved too strong for the Seagulls, who had Michael Wallace and Adam Galea play terrific games down back to limit the damage. Meanwhile, Pakenham had too many stars for the Kangaroos to nullify, with forwards Daniel Fry and Jake Smith joining defender Nathan Brown on the best players’ list. Matt Clarke was a shining light for the Kangas with four goals. But both of those results were expected, this week we get answers to some intriguing questions when Beaconsfield host Doveton at Holm Park Reserve and Berwick rolls out the welcome mat for Narre Warren. Is Doveton any good? The Doves, who took top honours in the recruiting stakes this pre-season, are undefeated after three rounds but could quite easily be languishing. Having survived a scare against Hampton Park in the season opener they’ve fallen across the line against Tooradin and ROC, and that form, let’s be honest, it didn’t stack up too well on the weekend. The obvious highlight of this clash is going to be the battle in the ruck between Doveton’s Frankston-recruit Russell Gabriel and Beaconsfield’s Scott Meyer - Gabriel, the winner of the Norm Walker Medal in his only season with the Doves back in 2009, against the winner of the last two years. This contest would sit comfortably on any VFL or interstate venue outside the AFL, the magnificently athletic Meyer taking on the brute-strength and ring-craft of a man who has been there and done it all before. These blokes are seriously

good! Doveton will tag Beaconsfield skipper Daniel Mislicki with Jordan Temopoulos, but the spread of a group that includes Tyson Mitchem, Damien Johnston and Kane Hughes will be enough to get the Eagles across the line. Berwick will be looking for its first win of the season when it welcomes the Magpies to Edwin Flack Reserve. The Wickers have been competitive against last year’s grand finalists -Beaconsfield and Cranbourne - in the opening two rounds of the season, but will need to turn around a seven-game losing streak against the Magpies that dates back to 2011. For Berwick to

win, it needs to find more avenues to goal with Mitch Johnson the only Wicker to have kicked more than two goals for the season. They need more scoreboard pressure to be applied from their elite midfielders like Ash Smith, Michael Riseley and Ben Kearns, while Jordy Andrews should be getting back to his best after an injury interrupted pre-season. Narre’s talls, like Andrew Hunter, Corie Intveen, Jordyn Flannery and Jake Richardson should have enough of an impact to get the Magpies across the line. Hampton Park has the bye.

�� Reviews and news…

Big and bold By EWAN KENNEDY BMW X6 is a fascinating cross between the BMW X5 station wagon and a five-door coupe. Performance is excellent if you buy one of the topline models like the BMW X6 50i in which we have just enjoyed a exciting week. Though the all-new X6 is bigger in most dimensions than the original model it’s lighter, only by about 10kg, but this mass reduction shows clever engineering. Big and bold on the outside, BMWX6 is slightly compromised inside, a least in the rear seat. But, that’s hardly a complaint because spacious rear seats in coupes are about as rare as politicians who understand the need for sensible speed limits. In its first iteration BMW X6’s styling polarised opinions, that all changed with the introduction of the all-new second generation at the start of 2015. The lines the new X6’s rear end have been softened and now carry an almost fastback shape reminiscent of the exciting 1970’s automotive era. BMW X6’s front is big and bold and shouts out that this is a sporty BMW that’s not ashamed of being noticed. The air extractors behind the front

wheel arches aren’t there at the whim of a stylist, they are part of the aerodynamic set-up and extract air quickly to aid air penetration. The interior is excellent, with a wide dashboard area featuring multiple detailed inserts and swooping curves. Sitting in pride of place are the very BMW big-dial instruments. The TwinPower V8 turbo-petrol in the X6 xDrive50i fitted to our test car generates 330 kW of power and 650 Nm of torque. It jumps from rest to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds, an amazingly low figure for a very large SUV / coupe. Drive is to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The central infotainment screen is very wide, but rather shallow to our eyes. Those who are into tablet screens like it, though, so who are we revheads to disagree. Access is provided through Bluetooth, USB and Aux. The internet can be accessed but only when the vehicle is stationary. Satellite navigation Professional is standard. The topline models, the 50i we tested and the 50d turbo-diesel, have 16-speaker 600 Watt entertainment that includes a six-disc CD changer. A full suite of passive and active safety devices ensures the BMW X6

has a five-star safety rating. It even has downhill descent control should you want to tackle fairly serious off-road driving at some stage. The front seats are big, spacious and comfortable but the back seats are tight on leg and headroom for adults. This is a coupe so you don’t get limo dimensions back there. For a vehicle of this size the space is disappointing. The big V8 petrol has the sort of grunt keen drivers just love. There’s minimal lag and the surge of acceleration makes for quick, safe overtaking - not to forget a smile on any keen drivers face. This engine climbs hills as though they don’t exist. Yet fuel consumption is routinely below 10 litres per 100 kilometres in

Fastback rear end of the all-new BMW X6 works well visually. normal driving, and only gets into the mid teens when you do thrash it along. On the motorway there’s little trouble in getting consumption of under eight litres per 100. Cornering is fast and precise, but you’re at the wheel of a two-plus tonne SUV with a relatively high centre of gravity so it certainly can never be described as nimble. Ride comfort is good, even in the high-performance variants of the X6 and this big coupe has low wind noise levels and tyre noise that isn’t greatly increased by rough Australian back roads.

This big BMW coupe is a superb long distance cruiser for two people planning extended trips anywhere in this huge land downunder. Trips that can even include some light duty off-road running to take advantage of the all-wheel-drive system. Model range X6 xDrive 35i: $121,145 (automatic) X6 xDrive 50i: $150,545 (automatic) X6 xDrive 30d: $111,045 (automatic) X6 xDrive 40d: $127,545 (automatic) X6 M50d: $157,145 (automatic)
