Winner Sterling Pumps Finalist Successful Endeavours Rebul Packaging

EXPANDING Pakenham business Sterling Pumps has seized the manufacturing award at this year’s Casey Cardinia Business Awards. The pumps manufacturer, which sparked the interest of a Federal politician earlier this year, has since expanded into renewable energy systems. Managing director Anton Merry said Sterling Pumps’ latest venture, the launch of its large-scale solar pumps, had received a great amount of interest. “It’s been a big project. The first ones are underway at the moment. It’s an exciting product,” Mr Merry said. “There’s been a massive positive response in Australia to us expanding our product range - particularly in the irrigation and mining industries – and people are certainly interested in looking at renewable energy systems.” Sterling Pumps has slowly grown through the irrigation, oil and gas industries over the past decade. Previously based in Bayswater, Sterling Pumps re-established in Pakenham three years ago and the majority of its 20 employees are local. The manufacturer currently exports its products to several countries in North Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia, providing products for a variety of heavy industry, mining, irrigation fire and process industries. Another new development is Sterling Pumps’ soon-to-launch smart phone and tablet app. Customers would be able to monitor the pumps

Small to medium-sized businesses don’t get a great deal of government help to innovate, so they’ve got to do

it themselves and respond to the feedback they’re getting from customers to guide the process.” Mr Merry said he wanted to acknowledge and encourage the local irrigation and farming community who were supportive of Sterling Pumps products. He said he hoped to work more with local communities to meet the needs for both solar and standard pumps.

PRIZED HERBS SWAY JUDGES By Casey Neill

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD CASEY CARDINIA BUSINES OF THE YEAR

A BIG year for Devon Meadows and Clyde-based business Australian Fresh Leaf Herbs grew a whole lot bigger at the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Friday 16 September. It was named the Casey Cardinia Business of the Year and the Agriculture and Food Award-winner at the Pakenham awards night. In March, Fresh Leaf unveiled a new greenhouse complete with cloud technology, designed to increase yields by 75 per cent. Television screens guide employees on exactly when and what herbs to plant, pick and pack. The herbs are growing on Dutchdesigned rolling benches that can be pushed together to increase planting space, and rolled into an adjoining

shed so employees can harvest the herbs at the one location. Co-founder Jan Vydra said the company started out producing 2000 bunches of herbs each week. Eight years later, it produces 150,000 bunches, pots and punnets of 60 different varieties of herbs, edible flowers and Australian natives. “We want to expand our operations over the next 12 to 18 months to open a new 30,000 square metre new facility, hopefully in the City of Casey, and expand into New South Wales over the next three to five years,” Mr Vydra said.

City of Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the project was a prime example of the innovation that the Casey Cardinia Region actively encouraged. He said the evolution of “agri-tech” would bring IT professionals, programmers and scientists onto farms. “This new era of farming welcomes forward-thinking businesses,” he said. Mr Vydra started the business with William Pham in Clyde in 2008. “William actually came from a banking background but his father used to grow hydroponic tomatoes

in Adelaide,” Mr Vydra said. “He’d just had enough of the corporate lifestyle. “I was running Yarra Valley Farms, which was a distributor of fruit and vegetables. “I started to get a lot of complaints about fresh herbs. “Slowly I learnt that herbs were really important to chefs because all the products really differentiate their plates and give their customers an experience.” “I had a hospitality focus to start with but I switched to retail very quickly because those food competition programs just took off.” Mr Vydra wants export to become the biggest part of the Fresh Leaf business. “I think we’ve got a pretty big journey in front of us,” he said.

AWARD-WINNING TRAVEL MAESTROS THE winners of the Tourism award at this year’s Casey Cardinia Business Awards have achieved a remarkable amount in such a short time in the country. Nayaz Noor and Suchitra Reddy are the CEO and Director of the Berwickbased Safir Tours and what they’ve accomplished in just three-and-a-half years in Australia is mind-blowing. Between them, they have over 60 years of experience in the travel industry having both spent over three decades with tour operators and travel agencies in the United States, the Middle East and India. But the latest chapter of their story has brought them to Australia – where they had no family and few connections until a few short years ago. But the challenge of setting up their business in a completely new

environment is one they’ve truly excelled at. Safir Tours is a destination management company that customises all its itineraries based on the requirements of its clients. Born in India, Nayaz and Suchitra predominantly work with Indian clients from their home country, the Middle East and the United States looking to travel to Australia. “We started operating March 1st, 2013,” Nayaz said.

“We were wondering when we were going to get our first client. Our first client was an Indian student studying in Adelaide whose parents were going to visit Australia. “She wanted things set up for them here to visit Sydney, the Gold Coast, and Cairns, so we put things together.” Nayaz and Suchitra were initially excited, yet somewhat sceptical, when setting up their business in Australia. “It was all new to us – the whole business environment in Australia is very different to what we were used

to in India or the US,” Nayaz said. “It took us a little bit of time to understand how it works. We found it easier than doing things in India because people are friendly here – they’re honest and they’re straightforward. They’re more direct. “The Indian market is very, very complicated. It’s very fragmented – nothing is set in stone and even the wealthiest of travellers will check with five different agencies and check everywhere online to try and get the lowest price. “When most people in India get to know us, they know that once they send their clients to Safir Tours they won’t have to worry. They can sleep easy.” The company’s strength lies in its hands-on approach, the worldwide experience of its founders, and the strong relationship it holds with its partners and suppliers. 12321651-HM37-16

THE NEWEST POWER PLAYER

Winner POWERPLANT Project Services Finalists Cranbourne Body Works Elite Building Services (Vic)

HALLAM electrical contractor Powerplant Project Services is a “little guy” that is a growing force, now taking out its first Casey Cardinia Business Award. The winner of the 2016 trades and construction category recently won a State contract to design lighting for the most recent upgrade of the M1 project. The Monash Freeway 30-kilometre upgrade runs from EastLink to Clyde Road, Berwick – with additional on-ramp signals out to Pakenham. Director Greg Plant says after the latest project, Powerplant’s staff would have designed lighting for the freeway from Pakenham to Tullamarine – except for the city tunnels. “For us it’s a real achievement as a relatively small company to be participating in these larger projects and to have contact with nearly the entire freeway. “We’re little guys who have got to do big things locally.” It ranks as one of Powerplant’s biggest jobs, alongside its lighting design for 300 light poles in the recent Tullamarine Freeway widening. Other major local projects include Peninsula Link, Sladen Street, Ernst Wanke Road, Northey Road, Casey Fields BMX centre, Bunjil Place and Casey Indoor Leisure Centre. Powerplant also lands electricityline contracts for new housing estates, particularly in Casey, and is helping SP Ausnet put its powerlines underground

Powerplant promotes new, brighter and more energy-efficient LED lighting on their projects. The white lights use 30 per cent less power, have less “light spill” and improve visibility on the road at night, lighting design manager James Kerner said. In the past 12 months, the business has added more than 600 projects. Its customer base now totals more than 500.

“Regulators wanted customers to have a choice but there was no-one to provide that.” Powerplant is still a unique business and has grown with its reputation. Mr Plant says the secret to Powerplant’s success comes from “serving our customers well”. “We develop the most economic idea and we deliver what our client needs from it,” he said.

Its staff has grown five-fold to 40 in the past four years forcing a move into more spacious offices in Hallam. The company hopes to attract surveyors, development consultants and civil construction companies, to form a hub of services under the same roof. Mr Plant started the business as a solo venture at home in 1999, seeing an opening after the State Electricity Commission of Victoria was broken up.

Sam Michelle is the winner of the best Home Based Business.

Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS

FAMILY HAS A VARIED CANVAS By Narelle Coulter

12322174-RC37-16

THE Michelle household is busier than most. Husband and wife team Sam and Darren run not one but two home based enterprises, Sam Michelle Painting and Kelly Sports, from their Berwick home. The couple’s garage is literally packed to the ceiling with bats, balls, mats and hoops, while the front living room is strewn with tubes of paint and the walls are a gallery of Sam’s most recent work. On top of the demands of dual businesses, the couple also has two young sons, numerous pets and a family lodger. Sam and Darren were both nominated in the home based business category. While Kelly Sports has won the

accolade in the past, this year it was Sam’s turn to shine. Painting and art have been life-long passions for the New Zealand born artist. She worked in the corporate banking world for more than a decade before taking the plunge and turning her hobby into a business at the start of 2014. She now paints professionally, selling her work online and at galleries, and holds art classes in her home studio. Sam describes her style as “painterly”. “I have a realistic style where you can see the paint. It’s so easy to print on a canvas these days, people want to be able to see the paint,” she said. Her grandfather was a painter and sculptor who bequeathed his oil paints

to his granddaughter who showed artistic flair from a young age. She remembers as a teenager sketching the faces of celebrities and models featured in her Dolly magazines. Today Sam’s business routine involves painting 15 new works each month, teaching, keeping on top of the paper work for Kelly Sports and juggling her family responsibilities. “I paint crazily for three weeks and in the last week I take pictures of all the new works and put them on my website and send some to galleries.” She often paints late into the night. “Darren does the mornings so I can paint as late as I want to and catch up on sleep,” she said. “It’s good. It keeps us busy.” The teaching side of Sam’s business “happened accidentally” after she

started teaching a friend’s daughter how to paint. She soon realised there was a demand for art classes for both children and adults. A natural introvert, she said it was her husband that convinced her to take a risk and start Sam Michelle Painting. “I hate taking chances but Darren was very much ‘do it’. I wouldn’t be doing this without him.” Her banking background gave her a valuable insight into the challenges of small business. “I learned heaps about being brave and taking risks.” With galleries snapping up her work, a loyal online following and now a Casey Cardinia Business Award under her belt, being brave has certainly helped Sam Michelle paint a rosy future for her eponymous business.

THEY’RE BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM WAVERLEY Industries’ reputation as a business of great community dividends continues with its back-toback win in the social enterprise category of the Casey-Cardinia Business Awards. Last year the business added a 4000-square metre factory in Hallam to its operations, creating 40 jobs for people with disabilities. Director and chief executive Frank Cresia says the expansion enabled the business to expand its accredited training programs to neighbouring special schools. “We’ve created a lot of new jobs,” he said. “Our success is our people. “That’s our essence and our growth, is people with disabilities. “We’re in Hallam. Our next step is being in Cardinia. It won’t be far away.”

“

OUR SUCCESS IS OUR PEOPLE …THAT’S OUR ESSENCE AND OUR GROWTH, IS PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES…

Across its Hallam and Notting Hill locations, Waverley Industries employs about 300 adults with special needs, specialising in packaging solutions, assembly work, manufacturing, mail outs and catering. Mr Cresia said that Waverley Industries was proud to play an important role in the lives of its employees. “Their work enriches their lives and builds their self-esteem, knowing that they are producing things that we, as a community, need,” he said.

“They still receive their disability support pension, so working with us provides a supplement to that.” Waverley Industries makes it a priority to reach out to special needs schools to provide employment opportunities. “Our training program involves special schools and mainstream schools to create pathways to the workplace.” Working with Waverley Industries since 2001, Frank has seen it develop into a thriving business. Assisted by

a team of hardworking volunteers, he says the business provides its customers with more than just high-quality products and services at competitive prices. “We’ve gone from an organisation on its knees to a thriving, sustainable, business model,” he said. “Customers see that they’re providing job opportunities for people that wouldn’t otherwise be working.” He added that it was a great honour for employees, staff and volunteers to be recognised in the Casey-Cardinia Business Awards. Waverley Industries has previously won the category in 2013 and 2015. “It’s recognition that we’re doing something that is helping the most vulnerable people in our community and their families.”

Winner Casey Childcare Cardinia Finalists M-innovation Australia Zain Digital

CASEY Childcare and Kindergarten in Pakenham has taken out the News Business Award in the Casey Cardinia Business Awards. The family-owned care service is known for its sense of calm and community. When a parent walks into the centre, it’s not uncommon to hear lots of laughter throughout the rooms. Centre director Debbie Porter was stoked to take out the award, and said a lot of energy was put into building solid relationships with families and the local community. “This service has a commitment to best practice, and maintains focus

on quality practices delivered by quality educators,” she said. In the last 12 months, the centre has enjoyed a 20 per cent increase in children under their care. Ms Porter said this was a reflection of their standing in the community. “On a weekly basis, we have families accessing care on the basis of existing families recommending the team and service provided here,” she said. Kinder children enjoy weekly visits to the local primary school – a strategy employed by the service to help assist in kids’ transition to school life. Health and well-being is a huge focus at the Pakenham care centre. Kids now take part in a daily dental

program and road safety programs, and library visits are now imbedded into their weekly programs. “We routinely have feedback from parents that the staff are warm, their children are happy, that we provide

strong consistent care,” Ms Porter said. The centre has participated in a number of fund-raising events including Pink Ribbon Day, Jeans for Genes day, Daffodil Day, Red Nose Day and 4Cs Crisis Relief Centre.

Winner O.MY Restaurant Finalists The Cocktail Queen The General Food Store

Tyson Bertoncello and Roy Bertoncello accepted the award for best Hospitality business.

THE Bertoncello brothers have done it again, taking out a major award for their highly acclaimed restaurant at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards. Foodie trio Chayse, 21, Blayne, 25, and Tyson, 28, from the exclusively degustation O.My Restaurant in Beaconsfield have been honoured with the hospital award. The brothers pride themselves on using fresh ingredients hand-picked from their own nearby garden. It makes the restaurant one of a kind in the area. “We have a really amazing crew of people that support and work with our restaurant (both in the restaurant and on the farm) – which we think then

showcases the care and passion that goes into every service,” they wrote in a statement. “We are the only restaurant within this area that has a totally seasonal menu with all the produce that is grown from our own gardens in Cardinia.” Diners at O.My can choose from a constantly evolving four, six or eight course degustation menu and can opt to be served with matching wines throughout the meal. O.My grows, bakes, preserves and pickles almost everything served on its largely plant-based menu changing week on week based on what’s growing well in their boutique farm in Cardinia.

It brings a smile to the boys’ faces seeing return diners. “(One of our greatest achievements) is having an established customer base of people that love what we do here and to have a good business structure in place,” he said. O.My has been operating since 2013. The boys pride themselves on fine dining without the feeling of pretentiousness often felt in upmarket city restaurants. “We love to get around and have a laugh and joke with everyone. We don’t want it to be pretentious. We want people to eat and chat and have a good time,” Chayse said.

GREEN APPROACH HAS THEM GRINNING By Alana Mitchelson

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Sponsor

Winner Beaconsfield Dental Finalists Cranbourne Body Works K & D Bak Painting and Decorating

BEACONSFIELD Dental has been acknowledged for its environmentally friendly building design and use of biodegradable products. This has come shortly after being recognised among the top businesses across the state in the running for the Victorian Premier’s Sustainability Award. Owner and principal dentist Robert Panjkov said he has had solar panels at his family home for years and so it was a natural progression to approach business with an environmental focus from the beginning. “We have solar hot water and 60 solar panels which have a wireless device that displays the electricity generated, carbon dioxide and money saved. On a good day, the panels can generate over 100kW of energy. Patients are regularly shown the wireless device to educate them as it is kept in one of the treatment rooms,” Mr Panjkov said. “The design of the building includes low-allergy paint, double glazing, LED lighting, and wall, ceiling and floor insulation. The water tanks have a capacity of 10,000 litres which are fed into the toilets and the 500-plant indigenous garden dripsprinkler system. “We want more solar panels – we hope to eventually double the 60 solar panels we have and fill the whole roof with them. I’m also thinking about getting an electric charger port for electric cars in the car park. We currently have about four or five water tanks and I’d like to double that and

kitchen supplies, including a compost bin. Mr Panjkov said staff were educated about recycling paper and encouraged to reduce printing by viewing documents on the computer. “We do it to be self-sufficient. Solar electricity generates a lot of power and it saves money. It also gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling that you’re

doing the right thing. It’s nice to leave a legacy,” he said. “The dentist isn’t everybody’s favourite thing, so we try to make it a fun place and to make people feel comfortable. “We’re always learning things about the new technological advances in renewable energy.”

FASHIONISTA SISTERS STRIKE GOLD By Georgia Westgarth

RETAIL Sponsor

Winner iBare Giftware Finalists Backcare & Seating In Beauty

BERWICK’S family owned iBare Giftware has taken out gold in the retail category of the Casey Cardinia Business Awards. The store centred around style, fashion, flair and giving back to the local community, is run by fashionista sisters Magda D’Abaco and Kathryn Carricondo. The pair have been designing and manufacturing jewellery, handbags and clothing with their own unique styling for more than seven years. Their Berwick store boasts a boutique cafe and espresso machine for ladies to quite literally “shop till they drop”. The duo opened their first store in Westfield Fountain Gate more than three years ago. With a background in economics and business Ms D’Abaco said after her stint in London working for UK Vogue she couldn’t help but fall in love with the world of fashion. “I loved it all and the hype and feel

of it and wanted to put a different spin on things and make an affordable collection so my sister being in merchandising and design was the perfect partner,” Ms D’Abaco said. “At first we were like a party plan service and we evolved into wholesaling and design but our backbone has always been to give back to local charities and fundraisers.” The iBare team has managed to give back more than $74,000 to the community through donating prizes to be raffled and lending their showroom space to local groups for events. Bringing Europe to the south-east in more ways than one, the fashion duo imports material, fabric, leather, murano glass and crystal from around the world. “Our accessories and lifestyle ranges are all made and designed by us and being a Polish family we are big on European quality and our customers know our style and that it’s affordable,” Ms D’Abaco said.

Managing director Ray Keefe said the Berwick business’s success was “a great sign of how vibrant local manufacturing is”. “The past 12 months has seen growth in Australian manufacturing every single month,” he said. “As a result, Successful Endeavours has grown both in electronics design and electronics manufacturing, with both of them doubling the previous year’s turnover.” For the second year in a row, Mr Keefe took home the Business and Professional Services Award at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards at Cardinia Cultural Centre, Pakenham, on Friday 16 September. “Successful Endeavours are pleased to be contributing to the growth in local manufacturing in Australia through the design of great products that are intended to be made in Australia and providing local employment in the City of Casey,” he said. “The projects are getting really interesting, with Internet of Things appliances dominating the project list.” A clever pet dog management

“The Early Fault Detection system won the national PACE Zenith Award for 2016 for its network implementation,” Mr Keefe said. “So a very happy client for that one and a pretty pumped design team as well.” He started Successful Endeavours as a home office business in 1997. “By 2005 I realised I didn’t know how to make this thing grow,” he said.

Mr Keefe rebranded the business, repositioned it in the market and moved out of home into commercial premises. “Four months after that we won Casey Business of the Year,” he said. He’s since picked up several awards and nominations across the country.

IT’S YOGA, BY POPULAR CHOICE By Georgia Westgarth

PEOPLE’S CHOICE

BERWICK’S Enhance Yoga is the region’s most loved after it took out the People’s Choice at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards. The studio offers Pilates, yoga and barre – but it was most likely its welcoming and inclusive vibe that got it over he line. Enhance Yoga prides itself on embodying all that is health, and with that, all its members form part of its ‘Enhance Tribe’. With the motto: “The focus at Enhance Yoga is you,” it’s not hard to wonder why they took out the popularity award. The yoga and wellness studio is the first of its kind in Melbourne’s south east to offer the unique styles of barre fusion, calligraphy flow and vinyasa flow yoga as well as workshops in a purpose-built studio. Director at Enhance Yoga and Qi Gong and yoga teacher, Adam Beardsley, was a multiple Australian National Wushu title holder, competing abroad in the World Championships representing Australia from his years training kung fu/wushu.

And has trained in health modalities from Qi Gong, Pranic, Reiki, NLP and hypnosis and has also helped national athletes to perform at their best. Adam with his wife and director, Suyinh Beardsley, call their operation a family business. “We live in the area, and are both locals and I think that’s important,” Adam said. “The feedback we get from clients is that they love the energy here – we make an effort to ensure everyone is comfortable.” The studio has been open in Berwick for more than a year and continues to grow in its offerings. This is the first year the Enhance Yoga team has been nominated for a Casey Cardinia Business Award, and Adam said they were both humbled and honoured. “We always had vision to not have just a studio but to have a wellness centre and to share our knowledge with others,” Adam said.

Enhance Yoga’s Hayley Attard and Adam Beardsley accept the People’s Choice Award.

HEROIC FIRST AID TRAINING IS AIMED AT SAVING LIVES IS THERE a better business aim than saving lives? Sisters Nikki Jurcutz and Rachael Waia, founders of Hero HQ, doubt it. Advanced life support paramedic and CEO of Hero HQ, Nikki Jurcutz, experienced first-hand the lack of workplace and community first aid knowledge during her time working on the road as a paramedic. Nikki realised that, although many organisations were conducting first aid training programs on an annual basis, the methods by which this education was being delivered was fundamentally failing to produce people who were knowledgeable and confident enough to act in an emergency. The devastating impact of a lack of qualified first aid professionals in the workplace and community prompted Nikki to reach out to sister, Rachael, who was working in education at the time, with a proposal to deliver first aid training that directly addressed the gap in the industry. Armed with Nikki’s experience in paramedicine and Rachael’s background in education, the sisters

“Our mission is to deliver training that educates, empowers and fosters members of our community that are confident to act in any medical emergency,” Nikki said. The business has three divisions. Hero HQ provides corporate first aid training services, Young Hearts First Aid provides in-school training programs, while Tiny Hearts equips expecting parents and caregivers with paediatric first aid skills. Hero HQ is the fastest growing first aid training company in Australia and Nikki said it aimed to transform the industry and make a difference. “Hero HQ is really challenging quite a traditional industry to step up and make a measurable difference in the community” Rachel said. Hero HQ plans to further innovate their service, develop their product lines, and even venture into international territory. But Nikki said some things would never change. “Most importantly, we will continue to empower people in the workplace, community and home with the life skills of first aid.”

The Hero HQ team Giada Glavic, Melissa Taylor, Bronwyn Rawlins, Nikki Jurcutz and Chloe Juresko were delighted to pick up the Health, Education and WellBeing award. 159406 Picture: ROB CAREW the nation’s most well-known names such as McDonald’s and Kmart” Rachael said.

The Eagle speaks By David Nagel CRANBOURNEâ€™S 13th senior premiership cup would be overflowing if the blood, sweat and tears of the last five years were poured into the precious piece of silverware. The blood spilt during five homeand-away campaigns, the sweat of just as many pre-seasons, and the freerunning tears that have accompanied the Eagles four consecutive grand final defeats from 2012 would produce a cocktail of rare emotion. Itâ€™s a cocktail that would exemplify hard work, typify resilience, and epitomise the hard work and character that the Cranbourne Football Club has had in abundance throughout this epic journey. Itâ€™s a journey that ended with the ultimate reward on Saturday, a 34-point victory over reigning-champions Berwick that ended five years of ridicule in the South East Football Netball League. Never mind the fact that the Eagles had finished top three for a remarkable eighth consecutive year, or were playing in their sixth grand final on the trot, the ridicule stemmed from their inability to get the job done on the biggest stage. But second-year coach Simon Goosey dedicated himself to changing mindsets, rebuilding a team, and on Saturday added a fifth coaching triumph to his previous success stories at Mornington in 1996, â€™98, 2001 and â€™04. The storylines are remarkable. Nick Darbyshire was playing just his second game of senior football, Michael Thompson his second game for the season and, most remarkable of all, Matthew Weller was playing his first game of senior football since this very day in 2014. The Eagles were without their inspirational skipper Marc Holt, who finally succumbed to a broken left leg after an

But heroes - there were still plenty! Like Ryan Davey and Mat Fletcher, two midfield dynamos who typify the blood, sweat and tears analogy, overcoming serious injuries over the last

three years to kick two goals each to seal the deal in the final term. â€œIâ€™ve been thinking about it for so long it just didnâ€™t feel real,â€? Davey said after the match. â€œWe had two minutes to go and people were telling me weâ€™d won it,

but it wouldnâ€™t sink in, itâ€™s hard to believe that itâ€™s happened to tell you the truth.â€? For more on a great day for the club, which also won the reserves premiership, turn to page 46 in Sport.

Victim left on tracks with his leg broken By Cam Lucadou-Wells A CRANBOURNE West man accused of pushing another man off a railway station platform and leaving him with a broken leg on the train tracks has argued he was acting in self-defence. Kimiora Tangatapoto, 19, indicated to Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 19 September that he’d contest the charges including assault, recklessly causing serious injury and reckless conduct. The court heard Tangatapoto, who was with two associates, was accused of punching the man in the head several times and then deliberately pushing the man onto the railway tracks at Yarraman station about 5.53pm on 8 April. Police alleged the accused told his victim, who lay on the tracks

with a broken leg as a result of the fall: “Did you learn your lesson?” Tangatapoto then left with his associates. A witness on another platform came to the victim’s rescue, hauling him off the tracks 60 seconds before a 6.03pm express train hurtled past. The victim was taken to Dandenong Hospital and required orthopaedic surgery to the complex fracture. The incident was captured on CCTV footage. Tangatapoto - who had no prior history - surrendered himself to police the next day, after the incident was shown on TV news. He told police “it was the right thing to do”. His lawyer told the court that the victim had conceded in his statement to having “just shot up” on heroin prior to the altercation.

The swearing victim had shown off a bag full of hypodermic needles, then approached Tangatapoto holding a needle in one hand while the other hand was outstretched, the lawyer said. “(The victim) was not in a right state of mind and could have stabbed him.” The lawyer said Tangatapoto responded to the threat by punching and pushing the victim “to get him away from him”. “My client says ... he didn’t deliberately push him off the platform. He expected him to get up and climb off the tracks. “There was no train in the vicinity.” The lawyer said that the lead-up to the assault was not captured on CCTV footage or described by witnesses.

“I’d be interested to know if the informant examined the bag. If he did, maybe he could confirm there was a large number of hypodermic needles,” he said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said the case may need to be heard by a higher court if Tangatapoto pleaded not guilty due to the extent of the victim’s injury. “What I’m uncertain of is whether the (magistrates’) court has enough sentencing options ... (and that) two years’ (jail) is sufficient.” Mr Vandersteen, however, noted the charge of intentionally causing serious injury could not be “made out on the facts”. Tangatapoto is due to reappear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 26 September.

Science taught in Stile By Georgia Westgarth A CRANBOURNE primary school is the first school in Australia to roll out innovative science teachings from the CSIRO. St Agatha’s Primary School has introduced interactive Stile science lessons with the help of the CSIRO. The digital lessons teach students science using animations, virtual reality technology, video and interactive games with the hope of igniting a passion for science. After the digital lessons, the in-school training gets reinforced as students apply their knowledge to realworld situations and even have the opportunity to meet CSIRO scientists.

Aziz slam-dunks basketballers By Cam Lucadou-Wells CASEY mayor Sam Aziz has led a public slamdunking of Casey Basketball Association, accusing the sports group of holding the councillors to “political ransom”. At a council meeting on 20 September, Cr Aziz accused the association of making threats and false claims of increased fees at the underconstruction $18 million Casey Indoor Leisure Centre (CILC) in Cranbourne East. “It will be a cold day in hell before I or our colleagues will put our political futures at the expense of our ratepayers when a club or association is holding us to ransom,” Cr Aziz said. At the meeting, Councillor Garry Rowe accused the CBA of being “belligerent” and having to be dragged by the council “kicking and screaming to good governance levels”. Earlier that day, CBA president Daniel Phillips - who led the CBA to an ’association of the year’ state basketball award in 2014 - argued for a fee reduction in a letter to Cr Aziz. Mr Phillips stated the CBA couldn’t afford to increase its court time to 10,000 hours at the CILC under the existing $35 an hour licence rate. The resulting $350,000 bill was about $100,000 more than charged at the state’s most expensive venue, the State Basketball Centre and was “simply not fair and equitable”. Mr Phillips stated that he was anxious to get a new licence agreement prior to 1 December, so the CBA could plan its winter season. “Despite our concerns and financial evidence, there has been a lack of willingness by the council to negotiate. “As a result to ensure the survival of our associations we believe it’s imperative of us to inform the 10,000-plus voting members and extended families ... so they have the opportunity to express their thoughts at the upcoming council election.” Cr Aziz wrote back that it was disappointing that Mr Phillips “resort(ed) to this cheap act of a threat just because we are at the eve of a council election”. “It would be in the best interest of your members that your association gets itself a new president.” In a media statement, Cr Aziz stated “the associations had been informed (by Mr Phillips) that the current hourly rate will increase but no rate has yet been discussed with them at any point by council officers”. The rate would be decided once the contract for running the CILC was awarded, Cr Aziz said. He described Mr Phillips’ letter as a “slap in the face” after Casey had invested significantly into the facility and basketball and netball. In an urgent business motion led by Cr Aziz, the council agreed to invite the CBA to a meeting to discuss the matters as well as “concerns ... to some of the governance aspects of the association” - as well as issuing a ‘please explain’ letter. He also publicly stated the CBA was “currently not short of money” with $222,000 equity as of October 2015, and a year-to-date surplus of $124,000 at June 2016. Mr Phillips told Star News he was surprised the figures were revealed after being confidentially provided to the council. He said the rate shouldn’t be based on how much was in the CBA’s bank but on a comparable rate with other stadia. The CILC is expected to open in March.

Numbers down, but show is a success THE 12th annual Doveton Show had around 8000 families zipping around Myuna Farm from stall to ride- but the numbers were still down on last year. Show committee member, Joanne Hann, admitted it would be a hard task to beat the epic walk-in rate of 27,000 last year. “Numbers were certainly down on 2015, but families missed out because there was only one short burst of rain,” she said. The show, renowned for its affordability, was in every way an improvement on last year, due to the committee’s large pool of money. “We encourage everyone to give $2 per person at the gates because that’s the money we use to put on next year’s show,” Ms Hann said.

“But those that did come, had smiles on their faces and our new online feedback forms have all been really positive.” But in true farm yard style, it was the animals that stole the show. Two lambs were born on the morning of the show and placed in the nursery, for everyone to get a glimpse at. New hit favourites included an international food truck alley, rides galore and a sustainability arts corner from the City of Casey. “The City of Casey had rubbish for children to make trash puppets out of and learn about protecting the environment,” Ms Hann said.

Taking the rise out of the ratepayers WITH reference to this article by Cam LucadouWells in the News of Thursday 15 September 2016 stating that a cost of $22,000 of ratepayers’ money had to be paid by Casey council to the monitor that had been installed by the State Government. Why is there such a fuss over this small amount when Casey council has spent $250,000 of ratepayers’ money to get the approval to increase the rate by 0.97 per cent over the rate cap. Also the $125 million for an unwanted structure Bunjil Place, borrowing $76.7 million for this structure which has to be paid back by us ratepayers. According to the Casey council budget 2016-2017 SRP (Strategic Resource Plan) which states that the ratepayers who gain the benefit of the asset will pay for it. So there comes another $76.7 million out of ratepayers’ pockets. Adding again another $4.17 million for communications and ticketing machines for Bunjil Place brings the total to $80.87 million - amazing! What a blatant misuse of ratepayers’ money. According to the City of Casey’s officers’ reports of 28 June 2016. Item 5.3 states

Socially speaking Casey ’stoking the fires of ignorance, racism and bigotry’ What an uninformed, arrogant tw*t Ms Springle is. Go and take the time to speak to the people that are living this day in and day out. “Perceived crime wave”, you are a joke, go back to your green problems and allow the politicians to attempt to deal with the real world. Samantha Jane, via Facebook Why hasn’t Aziz raised this before? There was a shortage of police and raising crime rates in Casey when his Liberal Party mates were in government! The only reason he has done it is purely for his own political gain in the upcoming Council elections. Why does Aziz support the CEO of City of Casey Mike Tyler who has been found guilty of breaking the law and been accused of sexually harassing a City of Casey employee? Would he support Tyler if he was a Muslim? Ryan Loose, via Facebook I am sorry.... but she is a Green.... she has that the impact of Bunjil Place would not require a rate rise. Fair enough, but, as mentioned, that the $76.7 million of borrowing for Bunjil Place will have to be paid back by us ratepayers is truly a contradiction. We ratepayers have to pay a total of $80.86 million for all these expenses dumped on us which is mainly for new council offices. Dunstan Girton and Louis Kotsiras, Hampton Park.

no idea what Sam Aziz is doing, or even an understanding of what is happening out here, as she does not live in our community and I recon she would know where the City of Casey was even if she drove though it... anyway I think she needs to get out of the bubble she is in and live in the real world for 5 minutes. Mark Mathews, via Facebook Does she live in the area?... guess not. Tracey Webster, via Facebook Well change the international law. Trish Sachiko Lawrence, via Facebook Attacked in her own home This is bloody ridiculous. Deport this lot and if they’re born here, send them to an island in the middle of nowhere! These people bring their cultural mess to our nation, yet we have people here making excuses for them. Mindy Rockey Gooding, via Facebook

Blame game AS THE saying goes, a bad workman always blames his tools. It seems Sam Aziz is putting the blame on councillors Rafal Kaplon and Rosalie Crestani for a lack of lobbying for the upgrade of Berwick City Soccer Club Ground. Why put the blame on those two councillors when previous councils have done absolutely nothing. D. Gardner, Hampton Park.

It’s None Of Our Business But ...

Female Instructor 1208374-CG48-15

THE problem with Casey council’s online petition for a tougher line on law and order is that it allows emotion to replace logic and misleads people to believe that the panacea for crime is more police and more 24 hour police stations. Casey Mayor Sam Aziz is saying that by merely increasing the number of police crime will be significantly reduced. This raises the question about what has been the key driver behind lower crime rates in the past? In 1973 U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun legalised abortion when he declared that denying women the right to abortion was detrimental to their physical and psychological health. He said this was because denying women the right to abortion means forcing them to bring unwanted children into a family that was unable or unwilling to care for them. In the United States the legalisation of abortion in 1973 had many positive consequences including a dramatic decline in crime when a new generation came of age in the 1990s without the cohort of unwanted children that young mothers would have been forced to have if abortion was not legalized. The moral of this story is clear: there is a clear correlation between crime rates, abortion and the opportunity for young women not to be forced to have unwanted babies. John Glazebrook, Casey council candidate, Endeavour Hills.

WHERE is the cinema for Cranbourne at? According to developer Ian Macklin, Cranbourne locals can expect to see movement at the site of the proposed Cranbourne cinema on Grant Street in October. The TM Design Group director said things are moving along at “snail’s pace” but “hopefully things might start happening in two weeks’ time”. AS CASEY prepares to take on the Bulldogs in this weekend’s VFL decider, former Star News journalist Cam ‘Spudda’ Scott has shared a not-so-fond memory of the last time his beloved Scorps made the grand final. He regaled a hilarious tale on Facebook this week of that encounter back in 1999. “Two incredible events occurred that year, which are most certainly intertwined with the club’s success (and potentially subsequent

lack of it),” he told friends. “1: A svelte and athletic young kid from Dandy North snuck his way onto the list - an undoubted morale boost to the club. “2: Said kid, after getting dropped from the preliminary side that won its way into the seconds grand final, went on to bust his nose running on to the Port Melbourne oval as an emergency, running into a severely taped piece of banner. He spent the entire warmup with blood pouring out of his beak into his warm-up jacket. This kid knew no bounds when it came to ways of sustaining injury... but he did bleed for/on the jumper. “Then he stood in the race with a six-pack of Carlton Cold stubbies he had snuck into the ground in his footy bag and polished them off.” Cam finishes the post by saying he hopes there’s more good days ahead for the former powerhouse Scorps, starting this weekend. “And remember, just like that emergency that stashed a six-pack in his bag grand final day 17yrs ago, preparation is king!” THIS will be the last edition for Cranbourne News journalist Georgia Westgarth. Georgia, 23, has worked on numerous papers with Star News Group for more than 18 months and will be joining another news team in Tasmania.

Georgia said every Cranbourne News edition she worked on had been a special one and that she would like to thank every person who opened up to her and trusted her with their stories. “I hadn’t been to many of the places covered by the Cranbourne News before I got the job, but I sure can say I haven’t just visited them now, I care about them,” Georgia said. “Cranbourne and surrounds is bubbling with so many inspiring people - you just have to dig a little deeper to find them, and cross your fingers they’ll want to share their knowledge, success, hard luck and aspirations. “I couldn’t have asked to write for a better community with a better team at Star News.” If you have a story worth sharing please contact dailyeditor@starnewsgroup.com.au. ONE of the world’s foremost wildlife artists Paul Margoscy will be a guest of Berwick Art Society. Margoscy, who has won prestigious national art awards and been commissioned by Australia Post, will demonstrate how to paint kingfishers and owlets using watercolour, gouache and airbrushing at the art society. The event is at The Old Cheese Factory, 34 Homestead Road, on 28 September at 7pm. Cost for members is $10 and for nonmembers is $12

CASEY councillors love to spruik their city as the fastest growing in the state. And with growth, there often comes change. But this year’s upcoming council election is proving to take everyone back to the future, with a number of former councillors and mayors renominating. A total of six former councillors, including three mayors have their name down for re-election in Casey’s six wards. All 11 current councillors are seeking re-election. Ex Casey mayors up for a spot on council include Shar Balmes and Brian Oates for the Four Oaks Ward and Graham Smith for the Mayfield Ward. Others, like Casey Neighbourhood Watch chairperson, Rob Ward, are trying their luck for a second time and some are keeping it in the family. Rebecca Halsall, 22, is hoping to represent the Mayfield Ward, and kick out either former mayor Amanda Stapledon or long serving councillor Gary Rowe. Rebecca is the daughter of former Casey mayor Janet Halsall and former councillor Bob Halsall. A Beaconhills College graduate, Rebecca now works in administration and was uncontactable due to her job. But her mother, Janet told the News she wasn’t surprised when Rebecca announced she was nominating for the Mayfield Ward. “She’s very interested in issues in the local area and wants to achieve change for Casey,” Janet said. If elected, Rebecca won’t be the youngest Casey councillor. Current Edrington councillor, Susan Serey, was just 21 years old when she secured the spot.

Family violence cash

Church helps out

By Cam Lucadou-Wells WINDERMERE Child and Family Services has received an extra $1.8 million in State funding for family violence services. Windermere chief executive Dr Lynette Buoy said the funding will provide an extra 345 high-risk family violence response packages for those leaving or planning to leave family violence situations. It will also fund an extra $550,000 a year for resources and services to prevent homelessness for more than 200 affected families. Dr Buoy said family violence was one of the main causes of homelessness, particularly for women and children. “There aren’t really wait lists as such, due to the enormity and seriousness of the issue,” a spokeswoman for Windermere said. “Anyone requesting these packages is pretty much seen

By Cam Lucadou-Wells GOOD old-fashioned care brought back Katherine Cheverria and her chronically ill daughter Victoria from the brink. The pair had been marooned at home for more than a year when Narre Warren North Uniting Church members reached out to them. At that stage a sleep-deprived, worrywracked Ms Cheverria was an “absolute wreck”. “When they found out Victoria was sick, they opened their doors for me. “They lifted the world off my shoulders.” Victoria has been through a medical battle with a mysterious bacterial infection throughout her three years of life. Doctors couldn’t find the source of her infection. They advised for her to stay away from other kids and playgroups out of fear of picking up a compounding illness. Ms Cheverria plied water, jelly and large doses of Nurofen and Panadol every four hours to manage Victoria’s regular fevers of up to 42C. Ms Cheverria got on first-name terms with emergency hospital staff. In one year, Victoria was admitted a dozen times, sometimes with convulsions. In between, there was no respite. Nowhere to go to meet other kids and parents, Ms Cheverria said. Then Narre Warren North Uniting Church minister Ineke Gyles and member Carolee Ratcliffe visited and invited the mother and daughter to join the church’s community activities group on Wednesdays. Ms Cheverria didn’t initially talk to anyone but started listening to other people’s conversations. Each week, she and Victoria were invited back. “The group was so welcoming. They weren’t pushy, they weren’t in my face they gave me my space,” Ms Cheverria said. “It was good old-fashioned care.”

Good sports go for health

Katherine Cheverria, Victoria Gonzalez, Rev Ineke Gyles, Carolee Ratcliffe and Picture: GARY SISSONS Mya Gonzalez at the newly formed playgroup. 158359 Victoria’s infection is now improving and her fevers are becoming less frequent. It’s a relief for her mother to see her starting to play dress-ups, sing and laugh. “I’m meeting her for the first time now. I’d never seen her happy and playing before - she was just sitting on the couch or lying in bed. “In one way she was the perfect child but for the wrong reasons.” Recently, the group suggested forming a playgroup for Victoria and other toddlers who were too sick to go to mainstream playgroups.

straight away. “The additional funds allow us to provide more services and reach more people quickly.” In the past 12 months, Windermere has provided government-funded counselling to nearly 500 people affected by family violence and sexual assault. It estimates that demand for its family violence services, such as counselling, housing and victims of crime programs, has tripled in the past two years. Windermere shares in an extra $3.5 million allocated for family violence support agencies in the southern metropolitan region. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said the funding would double the capacity to provide case management to family violence victims. “The government is determined to ensure family violence agencies are able to offer women and children in Casey the support they need,” he said.

CASEY clubs are set to take on a new health-wise way of consuming their canteen goods. Monash Health and the City of Casey are rolling out a Healthy Canteen pilot project across the region. The concept aims to increase the number of healthy options available in sports clubs canteens. Endeavour Hills Junior Football Club, Lyndhurst Football Netball Club and The Casey Comets are already leading the way.

It will give socially isolated parents and their children contact with others in a similar situation and some respite from their imprisonment. It formally launches on 16 September with a second family already on board. “It will help those parents just to know they’re not alone,” Ms Cheverria said. “It’s a hard journey on your own.” The play group is at Narre Warren North Uniting Church, 1 Main Street on Fridays from 9.30 to 11.30am. For more information contact Katherine on 0431 537 489.

The project provides advice from an accredited practicing dietitian from Monash Health. Health Promotion Practitioner, Alyce Cuman said: “Sports clubs are in a unique position to influence the health of their community by improving the food they supply.” “We hope this pilot will show sports clubs and the community that with small changes to menu items, the canteen can increase the number of healthy food on offer.”

Dog squad ends it By Georgia Westgarth AN 18-year-old Pakenham man had police on his tail for three hours as he jumped fences, burgled homes and held victims hostage throughout Lyndhurst. The series of five aggravated burglaries started at 2.30am on Friday 16 September and finished up with the canine unit tracking the teenager in Alpine Heath Way, Lyndhurst. The one-man crime spree started at an address in Aquanita Close, Lyndhurst where the man allegedly smashed a window and entered a house. The teen stole electrical goods and fled the home prior to police arriving. Police, who were conducting patrols nearby, were swiftly called to

the property and the chase began. At around 3.30am the second aggravated burglary occurred at a home in Hugden Close, Lyndhurst where the Pakenham man had armed himself with a cricket bat. He forced entry to the house, where four people were present and took hold of a female victim. The teen then escorted her to the other victims inside the home and demanded their money and phones. Detective Senior Sergeant, Rob Clark said the Pakenham man threatened the occupants. “He said he would hurt the female if they didn’t comply,” Sgt Clark said. Luckily police arrived at the home and confronted the male in an upstairs bedroom.

It’s believed no-one was injured in the brazen armed burglary but the teen managed to escape. “The offender kicked out a window and jumped onto the roof of the neighbour’s pergola and fled,” Sgt Clark said. “Uniform police and the canine unit conducted an extensive search and at around 5pm another aggravated burglary was being committed by the same offender on Castawellan Street also in Lyndhurst.” Police put in a cordon - with no luck - at around 5.30pm near Castawellan Street, but the lone teen was committing another aggravated burglary at that time in Viewline Way, Lyndhurst. At this point police units and the dog squad were conducting a systematic search for the perpetrator.

And “a dog flushed him out,” Sgt Clark said. After the dog squad successfully tracked and arrested the male off Alpine Heath Way in Lyndhurst, he was questioned at the Narre Warren Police Station. The 18-year-old was charged with multiple counts of aggravated burglary, assault and false imprisonment. Police recovered laptops and phones from his crime spree. Sgt Clark said police were investigating another aggravated burglary committed during the spree in the same area, which the Pakenham man was believed to be responsible for. The 18-year-old will face the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday 19 September.

He had a win By Cam Lucadou-Wells A MAN who went on a stealing spree of expensive goods including a diamond ring to fund his 20-year drug habit has convinced a magistrate that he has turned his life around. Daniel Locic pleaded guilty to three counts of stealing motor vehicles as well as to a shoplifting bounty including two rings worth more than $10,600, a pair of $100 jeans as well as suspected stolen items such as perfume from stores in Frankston, Doncaster and Mornington in 2015. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told Locic was arrested in a Suzuki Swift stolen from a Narre Warren home garage in August 2015. He was arrested in the car with stolen plates at Waverley Gardens shopping centre a month later, with counterfeit $50 notes, a flick-knife, a smashed stolen mobile phone and a suspected-stolen battery charger in the car. Locic also pleaded guilty to attempting to steal a BMW from a Clayton car yard in December 2014. He drove the car from a storage factory to a chain wire fence - with a hole cut in it for him to drive through. However the car was driven just 100 metres before it ran out of petrol. Locic also pleaded guilty over using a stolen BMW X5 in ramraids at two bottleshops in December. One of the ram raids was unsuccessful due to

e Fre e fac ting pain

bollards impeding the 4WD’s progress. At the other, Locic and a coaccused stole $500 of cigarettes and attempted to tow out a safe containing $50,000 until the towing rope snapped. Two weeks later, Locic tried to lift a car park boom gate at The Arts Centre, Southbank so the X5 could be driven out without payment. He was unsuccessful so his co-accused driver drove through the boom gate, causing $1000 damage. When Locic was arrested in Hampton on 29 December, police seized some of the stolen cigarettes, three iPads, a bottle containing GHB, a doubleedged dagger, a knife, and a glass-breaking hammer from inside the X5. Inside a Hampton residence was found a phone and computer stolen during a Bonbeach aggravated burglary. Locic was also charged with disqualified driving and drugdriving on ice. His lawyer Chris Edwards said Locic had served 114 days in custody before being released on a successful stint of CREDIT bail in April. In the following five months, the accused had complied with every CREDIT bail condition including counselling and drug treatment, and had secured a place in a traffic-management vocational course, Mr Edwards said. Locic had been offending

to fund a $500-plus weekly ice habit while unemployed, but had recently paid off his drug debts, the court was told. “It’s his second attempt at a significant period of sobriety. It’s been a relatively successful attempt,” Mr Edwards said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Locic had been facing a significant jail term, particularly allied with some historic armed robbery convictions. He said Locic and his co-accused “were running absolutely “red hot” during the latest offending. However, Locic’s compliance with CREDIT bail over several months substantially reduced his risk of re-offending, Mr Vandersteen said. “At some point, something might have switched in your head.” He sentenced Locic to a 30-month community correction order with 300 hours of community work, judicial monitoring and supervision. Locic’s 114 days in remand was counted as time already served in jail. He was disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to pay $10,694 compensation for the stolen rings. “I would say it was a punt by the court in releasing you (on CREDIT bail),” Mr Vandersteen said. “But on that punt, you’re returning a very positive response to it.”

PEARCEDALE Primary School knows how to tell a story. More than 100 Pearcedale students won gold at the Palais Theatre, when their story on the effects of palm oil won over judges at this year’s Wakakirri Dance Impression competition. The national story-sharing arts festival will conclude for the Pearcedale students when they perform on behalf of Victoria at the state finals in October. A very proud principal Simon Anderson said the state win was a “great team success”. “We were voted best story in Victoria, altogether there were 10 items on the night,” Mr Anderson said. “Grades 5 and 6 students dressed as orangutans, trees, developers and wildlife advocates to tell their story. “It went for seven minutes, it’s very impressive and tells how the devastating use of palm oil - because of its cheap price - is impacting animals by the destruction of trees,” Mr Anderson said. The storytelling event run by not-for-profit Wakakirri Story-Dance Association Incorporated prides itself on using the “oldest form of learning” - storytelling - to help develop students’ educational outcomes, lifestyle choices and community awareness.

Pet dramas By Georgia Westgarth

FOR the majority of Casey residents forced to surrender their dogs and cats, it's because of homelessness, family breakdowns and income. New RSPCA evidence shows the majority of surrendered dogs and cats were due to a change in their owners’ circumstance, not poor health or neglect. The City of Casey had the second highest number of animals surrendered to the RSPCA in the state, with a total of 247 cats and dogs in 2015/16. RSPCA CEO Dr Liz Walker said the data busted the myth that rescue pets are ‘damaged goods’. “The data shows that in most cases, animals given up for adoption are healthy, happy pets whose owners were simply unable to keep them,” Dr Walker said. “Overall, just 9.5 per cent of owners who brought their dogs and cats to RSPCA Victoria for rehoming said that problem be-

haviours - such as barking, aggression, destructiveness, chasing or inappropriate toileting - were the reason. “A further 1.2 per cent said that the animal’s health was the main reason for their surrender.” By contrast, a human circumstance was the driving force behind more than two-thirds of the 3627 dogs and cats surrendered to RSPCA Victoria. To break down the stats in Casey, two cats, two kittens and one dog were surrendered following the birth of a baby in the family. And three cats and three dogs needed to be rehomed after a relationship breakdown or divorce. “People’s lives and circumstances can change quickly, often for reasons beyond their control,” Dr Walker said. Out of 247 surrendered cats and dogs in Casey 12 dogs and two puppies were give up because their owners said they did not have enough time to meet

Dirtbike stolen A THIEF has broken into a Cranbourne North garage and stolen a dirtbike. The orange and black dirtbike was stolen on Wednesday 10 August, between 12.30pm and 2.20pm from a Burford Way address. Police have recently released CCTV images to help with their investigation. The offender forced entry into the garage and left with the KTM 350 dirt bike. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Casey Crime Investigation Unit on 9705 3114.

their pet’s exercise or social needs. Sadly 32 cats and dogs were surrendered because their owners could not afford to feed or provide basic vet care to their animals. And 51 Casey pets found refuge at the RSPCA because their owners became homeless, moved house or their homes were too small or their fencing was unsuited to keeping their animal. Dr Walker said: “It’s a powerful reminder to aspiring pet owners who might dismiss the adoption option, believing rescue animals as ‘problems’, ‘broken’, or ‘secondhand’. “In fact, nothing could be further from the truth ... we are honoured that so many people come to us when they want their pets to have a second chance,” she said. One in 10 people who dropped off animals to RSPCA Victoria declined to give a reason.

Jackpot came late

All kinds of orchid on show By Cam Lucadou-Wells MURRAY Harding calls his 10,000-orchid backyard nursery an obsession, even a disease. The Berwick Orchid Club president will display some of his many wildly-flowering speciosums at the club’s Spring show on 24 and 25 September. Among about 400 orchids at the show, the speciosum is Australia’s largest dendrobium orchid at about 1.5 metres tall. It grows on Australia’s east coast on rocks and trees. “I grow a whole lot of stuff but that’s the eye-catcher,” Mr Harding said. “At the show there will be other amazing different forms of orchids that people wouldn’t imagine are orchids. “There are some absolute monsters, others that you need a magnifying glass to see.” Mr Harding’s obsession started when he first looked after his father’s speciosum orchids. “I was never interested in orchids when he grew them. When he retired, he left them and asked me to look after them. “What are you going to do? Kill your father’s orchids?

“It was all downhill from there. Now I have grown 10 times more than he ever had.” The plants - in number and variety - have flourished under a shadecloth that has consumed much of Mr Harding's Devon Meadows backyard. One of his plants is more than 30 years old. It started flowering 12 years after his father tended to the seedling, and is lodged in a gum tree in the driveway. “They grow forever,” Mr Harding said. However, there is a common allure to orchids. Open a display at a shopping centre and you discover “everyone has an orchid story”, Mr Harding says. Fortunately for orchid spotters, this spring has been a bumper one due to the mild winter and long, mild summer, he says. “The effect is that every flower thinks it’s time to put out all stops.” The club’s orchid show features a large range of Australian and exotic orchids on display and sale, as well as growing accessories, demos and advice. It is at Berwick Senior Citizens Hall, 112 High Street, Berwick on 24 and 25 September, 9am-4pm.

FIVE days after the draw, a Cranbourne man has finally checked his TattsLotto ticket and discovered that it’s worth more than $200,000 after six of his numbers were drawn in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw. But exactly who purchased the two-game System 7 entry using carefully hand-selected numbers will remain a mystery as the unregistered winner only wishes to be known as a ‘mysterious Cranbourne man’. The mysterious man did not know when he walked in to SuperStar Lucky Lotto, on 95 Monahans Road, to purchase his TattsLotto ticket that it would win $203,152.20. Van Nguyen, the owner of SuperStar Lucky Lotto said he felt very lucky to have finally sold a division one winning entry. “This is a big deal for SuperStar Lucky Lotto because it’s the first division one winning ticket we’ve sold in 10 plus years.” Mr Nguyen exclaimed. “I thought it may never happen but it just goes to show that good things come to those that wait. I couldn’t believe it. “I’m really happy for our winning customer and really happy for my business. “No doubt it’s a dream come true for both of us.”

Cat rescue, not cruelty By Georgia Westgarth A CASEY-BASED cat rescue group is desperately trying to distance itself and its good work from a network called ‘Cat Busters’, who have proudly exposed images of dead cats next to guns, online. The sick images of cats lying dead on the ground and cats locked in cages have circulated after Hampton Park’s, 2nd Chance Cat Rescue was alerted to a breach of their ABN number. Founder of the five-yearold, not-for-profit rescue group, Daniela Maslen, told the News that Cat Busters is hiding behind her ABN number. “We don’t want to be associated with that group in any way because they are killing animals,” Ms Maslen said. It’s alleged that Cat Busters is active in the Frankston area, and has dropped leaflets advertising their service to ‘catch cats’. 2nd Chance Cat Rescue volunteer Tracey Perry said Cat Busters was “capturing, torturing and killing” cats. “Their websites keep getting put up and taken down- they’ve turned some cat skins into stubbie holders and proceeded to advertise that online,” Ms Perry said. RSPCA Victoria Inspector-

Discover a brighter future An image taken from the Cat Busters Facebook page. ate manager Allie Jalbert said the RSPCA was made aware of the Cat Busters Facebook group in July, after receiving a call about a letterbox drop promoting it. “No specific offence was reported, and no information found to substantiate any cruelty offences have occurred, so the matter has been finalised,” Ms Jalbert said. The Cat Busters live website (catbusters.org.au) states that: “Cats are a menace in Aus-

tralia”, and that they will trap cats in residential or populated areas. The website states: “In rural and bushland areas, cats may be trapped or shot, depending on local laws.” 2nd Chance Cat Rescue works to re-home both kittens and cats by desexing, vaccinating and microchipping them before finding them new homes. Ms Maslen said she had reported the matter to the Australian Taxation Office.

ON TRACK FOR MAGNIFICENT LIVING FROM PAGE 1. ONE of Clyde North’s newest communities ‘Meridian’ is rapidly taking shape in its quest to become one of the City of Casey’s most desirable residential communities. With nearly three stages sold out and construction progressing well, Meridian is fast becoming a favourite destination with the local community. Located in Melbourne’s south-east, Meridian is on track to deliver its promise of being a place where connection and retreat are your cornerstones to quality, contemporary living. The Meridian community will eventually be home to more than 1600 households and current onsite works are being undertaken to allow all future residents to connect with the 29 hectares of parks, open spaces and wetlands as well as fitness stations, cycling tracks and pedestrian paths that are a critical component to this sought after destination. Developer Brown Property Group says they have specially designed active open spaces within Meridian to create a community where fitness, social connectedness and solitude co-exist to create an enhanced living experience for all residents. “This is an opportunity not lost on many of our land purchasers - they are keen to enjoy all that this community, Clyde North and the City of Casey have to offer. There has been an incredibly high demand and we believe these unique living spaces have played a critical part in this.” The variety in land sizes and outlooks has also proved a hit with buyers with the topography of the area providing attractive choices for buyers. “That choice extends right down to lot

options and house designs. Our elevated sites create some impressive vistas over the surrounding landscape extending all the way to the Dandenong Ranges and surrounding Clyde area,” says Brown Property Group. Recent infrastructure developments critical to the creation of the Meridian community have also commenced, including the vital construction of a critical road link to local area - something Brown Property Group is excited about. “We have commenced construction of Thompsons Road, which will create

a convenient connection for Meridian residents to Berwick Village, the Princes Freeway and beyond. Works are anticipated to be completed early in 2017 connecting residents to the range of established schools, shopping options and local sporting facilities in the area.” Meridian is gradually becoming a residential reality that is distinctive and diverse. Brown Property Group has a proven track record of creating vibrant communities that families love to call home and stand by their

commitment to provide friendly service, quality neighbourhoods and rewarding lifestyles. Don’t miss your chance to become a part of the Meridian community and join the hundreds of Victorians already committed to living the Meridian experience.

Hospital checks to see RU OK?

The team of caregivers that completed the ASIST training in February 2016. the simple gesture of asking ‘are you ok?’” A conversation could change a life. The RU OK? Day official website encourages everyone to reach out, be a

mate and start a conversation if they are concerned about someone’s wellbeing. If they notice somebody is out of sorts, not themselves or if their gut is telling them that something isn’t right,

act on it. Ask the question and be prepared to listen. For further information, visit www. ruok.org.au.

If anyone has concerns for their own well-being or the well-being of somebody they know they should speak to their GP or if life is in danger, call triple zero. 12323539-38-16

STAYING connected and talking are two of the most important things concerning someone’s mental wellbeing. Suicide is, sadly, a part of our society and prevention is vital. St John of God Berwick Hospital supports RU OK? Day annually and in 2016 is raising awareness of mental health and suicide prevention within the community. The hospital has seen teams of caregivers undertake ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) over the past year which prepares them to provide first aid to persons at risk of suicide. It is hoped that these added skills will allow the team to help even more people in need. The hospital’s St John of God Raphael Services provides perinatal and infant mental health care and research. Staffed by a multidisciplinary team of mental health clinicians, the service provides specialised mental health (including psychiatric) services to mothers, fathers and families in the perinatal and infancy stages. Raphael Services manager Bronwyn Owen said: “Days like RU OK? are important in raising awareness of mental health. “It’s about making it easier for those suffering to speak up and also making family and friends aware of the signs to look out for. “Importantly, it’s also about what to do and where to go for help if you are concerned about a friend, family member of colleague. “These doors are often opened by

Nodular melanoma on the shin of a woman in her early fifties.

Nodular melanomas grow rapidly WHAT is a nodular melanoma? This is a type of melanoma that appears as a nodule or lump on the skin surface. Some 15 per cent of all melanomas are of the nodular variety.

It is very important to diagnose them early as they are the most rapidly growing of the melanoma types, and can become dangerously thick within a matter of weeks.

They are often non pigmented and present as pink or bleeding lumps on the skin which can make them more difficult to diagnose. To try to avoid missing a nodular

melanoma it is useful to apply the EFG rule. Any skin lesion that is elevated, firm and growing should be promptly removed and sent for biopsy to exclude a nodular melanoma.

The Sun Patrol Skin Cancer Clinic is at 48 Van Der Haar Avenue, Berwick. For more information, visit www. sunpatrolscc.com.au or call 9769 3358.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Gerry has plans on big pheasant JAYCO Australia founder Gerry Ryan is among the new owners of well-known attraction Gumbuya Park. A consortium bought the Tynong North amusement and wildlife park for $4.65 million, and has plans for a major revamp and expansion. Standard Roads founder and Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame member Ron Rado established the park in 1978 on a former pheasant farm. The giant pheasant statue visible on the Princes Highway frontage is listed alongside other Australian ‘biggest things’ landmarks alongside the likes of Coffs Harbour’s Big Banana. Car Megamart’s Ray Weinzierl, Adam Campbell, Brett Murray, Jamie Johnson and Wal Pisciotta are the other new owners. They’ll add accommodation to the 430-acre site to build on its appeal as a tourist attraction and conference and wedding venue, plus new features and rides. Mr Weinzierl said he took his children Max and Ruby to the park and bought it the following day. “There hasn’t been a lot of work done to the place for a while,” he said.

Gumbuya Park's well-known pheasant statue. 158865 “It’s just tired and needs a bit of work.” The function centre and grounds are in the process of being renovated. A train is on the way and new merrygo-rounds for the younger children will soon arrive, too.

The toboggan, paddle boats, mini cars and more will then be improved one by one. Looking over the amphitheatre area, Mr Weinzierl said it could host a more boutique version of the Day on the Green concerts.

In the backroom, a bookkeeping specialist is up in the clouds after being recognised as an international industry leader of QuickBooks Online, the world’s largest cloud-based accounting program. Casting around for a way to promote his business, one man has turned his fishing tackle enterprise into an international tourist destination by travelling around the country making television shows for Channel 10. Visitors who flock to the region are ready to benefit as tourist icon Puffing Billy unveils its new masterplan, which has identified key areas for investments. The line has seen a huge growth

Entertainment �� Dining, what’s on, bands and more…

Spring has sprung at the circuit PHILLIP Island Grand Prix Circuit is the destination for the whole family with many hours of entertainment and enjoyment on offer and over these school holidays you can make a whole day of it. Shake off the winter cobwebs by strapping yourself into the state-of-the-art Sodi RT8 go-karts for an exhilarating session on the 750-metre scale replica of the circuit. Push out a series of hot laps and try to set the fastest time and you could win two, 10-minute go-kart sessions. Tandem karts are there for the little ones. These matching tandem karts are equipped with dual controls so the kids don’t miss out and can participate in the full interactive karting experience which they haven’t been able to do before. The History of Motorsport showcases the dawn of motorsport on Phillip Island commencing with the very first Australian grand prix in 1928 through to present-day racing. The display has many articles, images and racing vehicles that will capture your imagination. Race your family or your mates and experience the fun on Australia’s largest four-lane GP Slot Car Track, an exact replica of the circuit. Test your skills or challenge your mates to a simulated race on the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Go flat out down Gardner Straight, through ultra-fast Doohan Corner, slide through Stoner, thread your way through Siberia and slip stream up the back straight. Watch out for the

Go-karts are fun for all ages. 159389 hairpin at the bottom of Lukey heights. Who will get the bragging rights? For the adrenalin junkies how about three heart-pumping “hot laps” in a race prepared vehicle. The resident race car driver will get your heart started with lift off and road hugging turns that defy gravity as you “white knuckle” it and carve an impression on the rugged cliffs of the world-famous circuit. Follow in the footsteps of racing superstars on a daily guided circuit tour featuring a MotoGP sound simulation and access to exclusive and restricted areas such as the control tower, media centre, pit roof, and of course that “hero” photo opportunity on the winner’s podium. Tranquil water gardens lead you through to the viewing mound capturing some of the most unique and invigorating panoramic views of the Circuit and Bass Strait. After all the excitement, Champions Bar and Cafe delivers with its fresh menu with

plenty of choices. Choose fantastic coffee, delicious fresh food and the best burgers in town. The gift shop at the visitor centre has a wide selection of stylish apparel, merchandise and souvenirs to choose from so you can take a memento home with you. Win dining vouchers at the Phillip Island RSL - two vouchers are on offer with the winners randomly chosen so you could be in the right place at the right time and win. All you have to do is walk through the visitor centre doors. Keep an eye out for the beautiful peacocks roaming around the tranquil, watered gardens. Stop and say hello to Robbo, have a chat and he will probably talk back. While speaking to Robbo keep an eye out for our kangaroos, the only ones on the island.

The Joker is set to return for public photo shoots at Deza-Con-2.

These nerds are no joke By Cam Lucadou-Wells CASEY’S own self-described “geek and nerd haven” is returning to Narre Warren on 24 September. After drawing a crowd at Deza-Con-1, the sequel DezaCon-2 will host comic book, collectable toy stalls as well as the Doctor Who Club of Victoria. Members of Transformers Collectors Club Australia and Melbourne Toys, Comics and

Video Games will also be there. Organiser Roy Condeza said he was expecting a 400plus crowd, many dressed up as their favourite cult heroes and villains. “That’s what creates the whole vibe. You get a rush from it and enjoy socialising with people doing the same thing without being harassed and being put down.” Mr Condeza said the Doctor Who fans - or Whovians - were sure to dress up in a range of

characters from the serial’s 50plus year history. During the event, visitors can pose for photos with The Joker and The Harlequin, he said. All proceeds from refreshment sales will go to local charity Mums Supporting Families in Need. It is at Narre Warren Community Learning Centre in Narre Warren on 24 September, 10am-4pm. Entry $5, under 12s free.

WATTLE Tree Family Day Care is a new business serving the City of Casey community and the surrounding suburbs. Manager-director Luzvira Herrera said the Wattle Tree service had recently opened. “We are the child care alternative that instead of being offered in a centre is provided from a warm home environment,” Luzvira said. “Wattle Tree Family Day Care Service is fully licensed under the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. “We operate under the National Quality Framework and are regulated by the Education and Care Services National Law and National Regulations just like the other type of childcare services. “The Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate are available for parents.” The service offers flexible hours of care - full-time, parttime, casual care, before and after school care etc from birth to 12 year old children. What is the new service’s best feature? “Child care is provided in a friendly and safe home environment,” Luzvira said. “There is a small group of children per educator, four under school age and three school age children at any given time including the educator’s own. “There is ongoing training to educators and staff to improve practice and enhance service delivery. “There are educational programs to enhance learning

Luzvira Herrera with Councillor Susan Serey. based on the children’s interest, abilities and needs and to foster the children’s areas of development.” Luzvira said the educators inspire and encourage the children to play, learn, experiment and have fun. She said the wellbeing of all children is paramount and field staff carry out regular visits to monitor the children’s progress and participation in the program. “We have qualified and skilled educators holding either Certificate III diplomas or Certificate IV,” Luzvira said. “There are also experi-

enced and highly qualified coordinators supporting, training, monitoring and resourcing the educators. “We are recruiting educators at the moment so we invite them to join us in this exciting journey helping the working families in our community by keeping their children safe, motivated and engaged in an educational program while they are at work, studying or training.” Wattle Tree Family Day Care Service is at 4 Breynia Way, Cranbourne West, and is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

SOUTH EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE GRAND FINAL REVIEW CRANBOURNE has swept aside four years of ridicule in the most emphatic style imaginable, claiming what could be sweetest of its 13 senior premierships with a 34-point triumph over Berwick at Starling Road. Grand final ecstasy ended a heart-snapping period in the club’s history, 1820 days after the Eagles last hoisted a cup back in 2011. It’s been 1456 days since Narre Warren retained their crown in 2012, a total of 1092 agonising sleeps since Dylan Quirk’s last-gasp point broke Eagles hearts in 2013, and 728 days since Daniel Mislicki led a single-barrelled assault in Beaconsfield’s 2014 success. Berwick’s triumph over the Eagles - 52 weeks and 364 days ago - made it four consecutive losses on the biggest stage in football. Humiliation, embarrassment, frustration, heartbreak - they’ve affected every one of those Eagles over the journey - feelings, just like their foe, that were treated with utter contempt on the weekend. Cranbourne flung the monkey off the back and exorcised their demons in one of the greatest wins in its history. That daily count - it’s all over, the cruellest run in football has officially ended. The Eagles, yes, did it without their superstar full-forward Marc Holt - and the Eagles, yes, did it with a team of 22 that has so many story lines to consider it’s simply not funny. Wingman Dylan Cavalot was 13 when the Eagles last won a flag, Zak Roscoe and Nick Darbyshire 14, while Michael Thompson was just 15 years-old when he watched his brother Matt joint the list of premiership champions. Jordan Bertrand was 16, while Dillan Bass, Shaun Sparks and Anthony Vella were veterans in comparison at the ripe-old age of 17. You just never know who will be in your next premiership team - even when you’ve been at the top for so long like the Eagles! Eight players, Michael Boland, Ryan Davey, Mat Fletcher, Ryan Jones, Stuart Morrish, Brandon and Glenn Osborne and Troy Tharle are now two-time premiership stars, with Luke Bee-Hugo, Aaron Bower, the charismatic Max Gearon, Kory Grant, Shaun Marusic and Matty Weller adding their names to the Eagles most exclusive honour roll. And it took all 22 to get the job done. The Eagles started brilliantly, Vella getting the ball rolling after a minute, with a goal to Boland at the seven-minute mark opening up a two-goal lead into the breeze. Tim Gunn answered, but Marusic, Jones and Roscoe had the Eagles 26-points ahead after 20 minutes of play. A late goal to Michael Johnson had the Eagles 17 points up at the first break.

Best-on-ground medallist Ryan Davey stood head and shoulders above the rest at Starling Road. 159362 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS

Davey, Fletcher, Gearon and Marusic were dominant around the stoppages, Boland brilliant in the ruck, with the Eagles harder and tougher at the contest. Berwick sublime ball use was being put to the ultimate test under the most extreme of pressure. The Eagles led 19 to 13 in the tackle count. “There’s an opportunity here boys to take a nice lead to half time, don’t bomb it in, be smart, and continue that will and want for each other,” coach Simon Goosey told his players. Berwick looked surprisingly flat, and Cranbourne made them pay with four unanswered goals in the second term. Grant, Bee-Hugo, Thompson and Roscoe saw the lead to extend to 38 at the main interval, a crunching tackle from Cavalot and extreme forward pressure were the second-quarter highlights. The two Osborne’s were doing a terrific job on Berwick dangerman Ben Kearns and Mitch Johnson, with Mark Weekes the only Wickers forward to look dangerous. The hard-nosed battle between Davey and Michael Harold was intriguing, while the impact of Darbyshire, Weller, Bower and Roscoe gave the Eagles an even spread across the board. Roscoe looked to have sealed the deal with an early goal in the third, extending the Eagles out to a 45-point lead. Berwick needed a response, to get close enough to bring the last four years of heartache into the equation. And they did lift, two to Weekes, another to Luke Nelson and a first for Kearns bringing the margin to back to 21 points at the 11-minute mark of the term. Another to Weekes, and a long bomb on the siren from Harold, had the demons lurking - the Wickers just nine points adrift with a quarter to play. “We knew they would come

at us, now we need to respond,” Goosey roared. “This is an opportunity, this is an opportunity to be mates for life, there are no tomorrow’s, the opportunity is in front of you right now.” Berwick coach Rhys Nisbet also left nothing in the tank. “This is it, they’re tiring, how bad you want it, how hard do you want to run for each other, how hard do you want to compete,” Nisbet enforced. His message worked, the Wickers dominating possession in the opening exchanges but the Osbornes and co failed to relent down back. Then, one-by one, the Eagles ticked off the years since their last victory in the sweetest possible style. Cavalot wiped the memory of 2012 with an early steadier, Davey said goodbye to the demons of 2013/’14 with two inspirational long bombs, before Fletcher repaid Berwick for the huge kick in the guts from last year. Fletch then put the imperial seal on a famous premiership win, with last goal of the season, to send the Eagles into raptures and leaving Goosey a very proud man. “I’m proud of the whole group, but the young players we had like Dylan Cavalot, he was fantastic, a kid in his first year, Zak Roscoe’s first full year of footy, and Nick Darbyshire was playing his second senior game,” Goosey said. “Thommo (Thompson) was playing his second game for the year, Matty Weller hasn’t played for two years top the day, and it’s remarkable when you think about it really.” Goosey said his side’s pressure told in the end. “In my book I wrote the word pressure a lot, particularly in the second quarter,” he said. “Full credit to Berwick, they came at us, and with our old mindset we might have been a bit worried,

The story of the day. Berwick’s Jo West has pressure applied from Cranbourne’s Troy Tharle. but we stormed home and made sure we maintained doing what we had to do. I’m a very proud man right now.” Nisbet, who announced he would step down after the match after four years at the helm, was philosophical after the match. “We started slowly and were playing catch up from very early in the piece,” he said. “Full credit to my boys for coming back in the third, but the effort told and we ran out of legs in the last quarter. It’s a disappointing way to end, but I wish the club all the very best going forward.” Davey was widely acknowledged as best on ground, Vella, Jones and Cavalot providing plenty of dash, while the efforts of Boland in the ruck, and the Osbornes and Bertrand down back played key roles in the victory. Weekes finished with four, with the half-back line of Ash Smith, Michael Riseley and Luke Sheppard trying their best until the bitter end. Congratulations Cranbourne thoroughly deserving winners of the 2016 premiership.

Lambden’s ready to roll By Nick Creely CASEY-SOUTH Melbourne fastbowler Nathan Lambden is one of Victoria’s brightest up-and-coming stars and is setting his sights on cracking into the Victorian Second XI team this season. Lambden, 23, only recently completed the Futures League Academy for the Victorian Bushrangers, where he was able to gain extensive coaching from some of Australia’s finest cricketing coaches. The program rewards strong Victorian Premier Cricket performers and potential domestic cricketers who are trying to climb their way up into the ranks of becoming a professional athlete. In last year’s academy program, two members, Aaron Ayre and Sam Harper both made their first-class debuts for Victoria, while an additional five members were rewarded state contracts with the Bushrangers. Lambden says the experience was beneficial in his development as a cricketer, citing the improvement in his own game and learning essential expectations of elite athletes as a positive in the program. “I learnt a lot from all the coaches, whether they were international coaches or state coaches. “It was just things like preparation going into games, how much work you have to do in terms of your fitness level, your strength, conditioning and diet, these kinds of things were the biggest lesson for me. “Guys like Mick Lewis (Bushrangers bowling coach) and David Saker(Australia’s new assistant coach)

Nathan Lambden sends one down for Casey-South Melbourne last season. 146295 when he was there were really helpful and helped improve my overall game. “I didn’t have to change too much in terms of my bowling action but the main thing is now I am using my front arm more often and I’m able to generate more pace which is always handy. “I obviously trained at the MCG which was an amazing experience as well. “Bowling at guys like Travis Dean before he was called up by Australia A, it was just such a massive step-up and a great experience for me,” Lambden said. Lambden enjoyed a terrific 2015/'16

season for Casey South-Melbourne, leading the club’s wicket tally with 29 at an average of 20.69, even though he missed a few games with soft-tissue injuries. His astonishing 7/65 last season in a losing side against Monash Tigers raised eyebrows and from then on has established himself as one of Premier’s finest quicks. However, these kinds of performances are not surprising when you delve into the young career of the fastbowler. The Cranbourne local first drew attention back in early 2013 when he

was making his way through the ranks at Premier level for Dandenong. In a game in February 2013 against Ringwood, the young quick, only 20 at this stage and having only featured at First XI level just seven times, tore through the runners-up in a devastating eight over spell of 4/29. The interesting part of this game is that Dandenong boasted the Pattinson brothers (James and Darren), however it was the fresh-faced young bowler who gave them the frights. It was then the cricketing world knew that this was a player to watch. Lambden now sets his sights on

the next chapter of his cricketing career, playing for Victoria in the Futures League, but says there is a long road to go. “This year my goal is to obviously play in the Futures League. “But there was a lot of impressive bowlers in the academy so I certainly have my work cut out for me. “Guys like Matt Doric from Essendon and Ben Ashkenazi from Frankston are just some of the very impressive bowlers in the academy,” Lambden stated. With the Victorian Premier Cricket season just under two weeks away, Lambden is excited to get back into the thick of the action and is confident his club can turn around its fortunes. “We want to push for finals," Lambden categorically stated. “We haven’t lost too many players so that’s not an issue and we are extremely confident we will improve and push for finals, which as a group we believe is really realistic. Lambden will be hoping for an injury-free and uninterrupted season so he can help climb his club up the ladder. Casey-South Melbourne had a disappointing 2015/'16 campaign, finishing 15th last season and 17th in the overall Club Championship. However, they finished last season with some solid wins and a decent platform to launch into another long cricket season. Their season begins with a massive test against the strong Melbourne Cricket Club at Albert Ground on 30 September.

Cranbourne’s proud champion

As proud as punch…Cranbourne’s Ryan ’Cheekers’ Davey shows off the spoils of a best-on-ground performance in Saturday’s grand final against Berwick. 159365 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS all have at the Cranbourne Football Club is that we want to win, we don’t want to be competitive, we want to win, and a lot of people have worked extremely hard to get us into this position.” Davey said the feeling was surreal, especially with his great mate and champion, Marc Holt, missing with a broken leg. “I’ve been thinking about it for so long it just didn’t feel real,” he said. “We had two minutes to go and people were telling me we’d won it, but it wouldn’t sink in, it’s hard to believe that it’s happened to tell you the truth. I feel bad for Marc, not being there, poor bloke, but we did it for him, the way he led us all year and the positivity he brings to the group ... we love Marc.” And the Cranbourne Football Club loves you Ryan ‘Cheekers’ Davey.

SOUTH EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE BEST ON GROUND JUST five people stood between Matthew Davey and the Cranbourne coach’s box as he leant over the fence and gestured to his brother Ryan to join him at the 22-minute mark of the final term. “Cheekers, come here, Cheekers, Cheekers,” Matt yelled. Ryan ‘Cheekers’ Davey, the same man who had just kicked two last-quarter goals to seal the fate of the 2016 premiership cup, spotted his sibling from the interchange bench and took the small walk forward. “Mate, I’ve never ever been so proud of you, you’re a champion, I love you,” an emotional Matt said as he embraced his brother around the neck. Those words echoed the thoughts of the entire Cranbourne Football Club on Saturday. Ryan Davey - he simply stood taller and prouder than the rest. He did so for four quarters, controlling the midfield battle against Berwick, and did so again in the change-rooms after the match. Standing on the benched-seating surrounding the room, Davey looked satisfied, his right hand wrapped around a clothes hook for balance, his left hand wrapped around the sweetest tasting beer he had ever tasted in his life. A premiership player in 2011, he suffered badly in grand final defeats in 2012/’13, missed through injury in 2014 before the bitter taste returned last year. It just made this moment ... well it made it oh so sweet. “It’s been an unbelievable build up to get to this point,” he said. “Sometimes it felt like we were never going to get there, but Goose (Simon Goosey) has turned our mentality around, it’s all about enjoying our football and I’m loving being out there again you know.

Casey are overpowering By Nick Creely

The Scorpions dominated the Gulls in the midfield. 159502

A RUTHLESS Scorpions team have booked themselves in for a grand final showdown with Footscray Bulldogs next Sunday, dismantling an inaccurate Williamstown at North Port Oval on Sunday by 42 points. Casey are chasing their first premiership since 1999, and their first premiership as an affiliate with the Melbourne Football Club. Their opponents next Sunday, Footscray, were similarly dismantled only two weeks ago by Casey in the Qualifying Final and the Scorpions will take a great deal of confidence from that match. In what was a masterclass in defensive pressure and tactical play, the Scorpions suffocated the Gulls in the Preliminary Final and forced them to turn the ball over frequently. The cornerstone of what has made Casey into an elite VFL side this season, it’s midfield depth on both the inside and the outside, was clinical all day and barely gave the Gulls a chance at winning first use of the ball. Youngsters Alex Neal-Bullen (33 disposals), Clayton Oliver (22) and Viv Michie (18) were excellent around the coalface. But it was the wily veteran Lynden Dunn who stole the show for the Scorpions. Dunn owned the defensive half of the ground, and his power in the air and clean ball use coming out of the back half was tremendously poised. Dunn even pushed forward in the first quarter to sink a team-lifting goal from 50m. He was well backed up by Jack Hutchins, fellow veteran Colin Gar-

One more hurdle for Scorpions By Nick Creely VFL PREVIEW CASEY SCORPIONS V FOOTSCRAY BULLDOGS Grand Final - Sunday 25 September, 3.00pm, Etihad Stadium Ladder Positions: Casey Scorpions 1st (14 wins, 4 losses) Footscray Bulldogs 4th (12 wins, 6 losses)

Last time they met: Qualifying Final at North Port Oval Casey 20.8(128) defeated Footscray 8.10(58)

Casey Players to watch: Alex Neal-Bullen, Declan Keilty, Tim Smith, Clayton Oliver.

Footscray players to watch: Lukas Webb, Declan Hamilton, Will Minson, Ben Long.

IT all comes down to two hours of football on Sunday for both Casey and Footscray, who both enter the game in supreme form. The end result will be holding aloft the Peter Jackson VFL premiership cup. The Scorpions haven’t won a premiership since 1999, while the Bulldogs won in 2014, their first season as a standalone VFL side. It would be a remarkable turnaround for Casey, who only two years ago were watching the VFL finals series from the grandstands. Scorpions coach Justin Plapp lauded his side’s improvement this season but stressed the importance of keeping grounded in what is set to be an exciting finish to the season. “We’re confident that our brand and our footy are good enough. “We finished on top for a reason and our players have been consistent all season.

“Grand final day is a special day. It’s just an exciting time at our football club. “It’s important that we don’t change too much, but we’re just so excited for the contest," Plapp said. For the Dogs; they are primed for a tilt at their second premiership, their first coming in 2014. Just two weeks ago, the Scorpions took the bite out of the Dogs in their qualifying final, crushing them to the tune of 70 points. However, the Bulldogs got the Scorpions by a solitary point earlier in the season in a nail-biting and high quality game of football.. For the Scorpions, players like Declan Keilty, Lynden Dunn and Clayton Oliver are in tremendous form, while the Bulldogs possess some marvellous class in Lukas Webb, Mitch Honeychurch, Jordan Russell, Alexander Greenwood and Will Minson. “Will Minson is a critical matchup for us in the ruck. We are confident though we can match them in that area with Jake and Oscar. “Bailey Dale is also a really good player whilst Mitch Honeychurch is their energy and extractor at the contest,” Plapp said. Casey have been the best team all season, while Footscray have won some belters and lost some absolute shockers. It’s going to come down to whether the Scorpions are able to control the game defensively like they did against Williamstown. Against the Gulls, they conceded just five goals for the entire match and were able to play a tempo that catered to their strengths. The Bulldogs however are an attacking enigma, and scored a whop-

ping 27.19 against Collingwood on the weekend. “They play a very intense brand of footy when it comes to moving the ball. “They rely heavily on the quick contest and then getting the opposition’s defence unorganised. “In a weird way, the surface at Etihad Stadium may actually suit the Bulldogs but we are supremely confident in our brand. “There’s a lot of space at Etihad so controlling the game is crucial. Their ability for the midfield group to push forward is the reason they are still in this year’s competition. For the Scorpions to win, they must control the tempo, while the Bulldogs must move the ball quickly and play a slingshot style in order to catch Casey’s defence off guard. Both sides are affiliates of AFL clubs, and will possess strong squads coming into this week. The Scorpions, who are affiliated with the Melbourne Football Club, will have up to 15 AFL-listed players available, provided both Christian Salem and Jack Grimes overcome injury and illness, while the Bulldogs, who are playing an AFL preliminary final on Saturday, will have 10 AFL listed players available. “Jack pulled out early on the Sunday, but he is on the improve and tracking well for next week. “Christian obviously suffered a concussion but again he is tracking pretty well and will put his hand up for selection," Plapp said. On the slick surface of Etihad Stadium, the Bulldogs game style seems to have the edge, while the football world knows all about Melbourne’s

land and Mitch White, who thwarted the Gulls from having any meaningful inside 50 entries. VFL Team of the Year members Tim Smith and Declan Keilty were pivotal in attack, booting three and two goals respectively. Keilty has spent the majority of season as a defender, but was swung forward and showcased an array of strong attributes as a marking tall. Scorpion’s coach Justin Plapp was happy with his own side’s performance; and felt his side matched the Gulls and if not bettered them at their own forte, contested ball. “We made a focus on matching them in contested ball, which is a major strength of theirs. “We also wanted to move the ball as quickly as we could to unsettle them, and we matched them and out-tackled them, so it was a credit to our guys," Plapp said. The Scorpions were rocked pregame, when AFL listed midfielder Jack Grimes pulled out of the game due to the flu. “Jack pulled out early on the Sunday, but he is on the improve and tracking well for next week,” Plapp said. His replacement, Dylan Collis, played with composure and enhanced his chances of a stunning grand final berth. In another piece of injury news, youngster Christian Salem is 50/50 to be available to take on the Bulldogs next Sunday due to a nasty concussion in which his head slammed into the turf in a tackle. Salem was the clear best-on-ground up to that point. His 15 disposals early in the second quarter oozed class,

and his run and slick use on his trusty left foot will be sorely missed in next week’s game. Williamstown were just never really in the contest. They were down by 28 points at quarter time with no goal on the board. This lead extended to as much as 51 points before they pegged it back slightly. The issue for them was their lack of efficiency going forward, and when they did get the ball into attacking positions, they were unable to make it count on the scoreboard. For the Gulls, William Wheeler tried his heart out, while Sam Dunnell and David Fahey can hold their heads high. It is going to be a quality grand final next Sunday at Etihad Stadium, and the Scorpions will back themselves in to create some history.

epic struggle to win AFL games at Etihad. Casey has been the strongest, fittest and most comprehensive team this season and will back them in for one more effort. Plapp says his players are ready for the challenge and will not be overawed by the occasion.

“I’m hoping the players can absorb the excitement and pressure. “I don’t think the pressure of the day will be too much, we’ve worked really hard to get to this point. It is time to bring the cup back to Cranbourne and shed the Etihad Stadium curse in the biggest game in the VFL calendar.

One hard-fought victory By David Nagel SOUTH EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE GRAND FINAL REVIEW RESERVES AN unwavering self-belief that its absolute best could get the job done has inspired Cranbourne to its first reserves grade premiership since 2001 against Berwick on Saturday. The Eagles showed once and for all that finals football really is a different kettle of fish to the regular season, downing the previously undefeated Wickers by 16 points in a dramatic title-decider. Long odds were on offer for the Eagles after Berwick kicked 4.4 to 0.0 with the advantage of the breeze in the first term - before the Eagles fought back, and fought back hard. Led brilliantly by skipper John Frenken and the power-packed Leigh Holt, the Eagles drew to within seven points at the major interval before upping the tempo with a brilliant third term. The premiership quarter lived up to its billing, the Eagles kicking 2.3 to 1.1 into the breeze to take a one-point lead into three-quarter time - with the spinnaker up in the final term. “We lifted the pressure and look what happened, now we don’t take the foot off the throat, we play from the bottom of our hearts, 20 solid minutes of football and let’s put them to the sword,” roared coach Ben Corrie at the final change. The Eagles wasted their opportunities early, points to Michael Theodoridis and Kirk Dickson let the Wickers off the hook, but an Adrian Russo goal at the six-minute mark was followed by a Holt sealer 18-minutes in to secure the Eagles their first ever SEFNL flag. Corrie was overcome with emotion at the final siren. “Unbelievable, just unbelievable mate,” came the choked up words. “It all came down to belief, we had it, and we knew if we could build on the

We knew if we put it together, we had them. Just 22 players working together as one and we don’t let each other down, it’s the greatest feeling ever.” The 35-year-old Frenken, who shares his age with best-on-ground medallist Holt, said his final game of football would provide him with the greatest memory of all. “You can’t put that effort into words, the boys fought for everything and I’m just so proud of them,” Frenken said. “We just had belief, it’s what we do at Cranbourne, we believe in each other. This is my first flag, it’s sweet now but it’s going to be even sweeter

tonight, I can tell you that. That’s it for me, hanging up the boots, I just love the Cranny club, the supporters, and they’re all just a great bunch of people.” Russo and Jake Wilson kicked two each for the winners, Holt superb, while Harrison Bird and Nick Barker did a great job of quelling a dangerous Berwick forward line.

Magpies swoop on cups By David Nagel NARRE Warren Netball Club is the envy of the South East Football Netball League after its tremendous grand final day success at the Officer Recreation Reserve on Saturday. An eager flock of Magpies descended on Starling Road, winning five of six premierships, including a magnificent back-to-back title in A Grade, and a clean-sweep of the four senior divisions. The Under 17 white team capped off a great day with a two-goal victory over Cranbourne. Jade Heinrich, who co-coaches the A Grade team alongside her husband Greg, said the overall club success made it a very special day to remember. “To win back-to-back flags in A Grade is fantastic, but it’s really hard to go past the great day for the whole club as the main achievement,” Jade said. “It’s just amazing really, to have four senior sides in the grand final and for everyone to walk away happy, that’s a special achievement at any level of the game. It would have been great to get a footy premiership as well, but the effort of the club to do so well when it mattered most, it really is amazing.” The big cup on offer for Narre Warren was in A Grade, with the Magpies looking to become the

first team since this year’s opponent Beaconsfield to win back-to-back top-level titles. The Magpies prevailed 44-31, but still have some work to do to match the mighty Eagles outfit that won five consecutive titles from 2008 to 2012. But if any team can hunt that magnificent record down, the Magpies can after stretching their winning streak to 21 with another outstanding team performance. Tayla Shannon (GA) was deadly early, using her quick mind and sharp skills to give the Eagles defenders something to think about. Shannon’s eight-goal first quarter settled the Magpies’ nerves and set her side on the path to victory. Gabby Dwyer (GS) also fought hard against Beacy’s super-strong defensive unit of Dani Cameron (GK) and league best and fairest winner Kaela Hughes (GD), using her height to full advantage. The Magpies led by three at quarter time and looked set for a comfortable victory after extending the margin to six at end of the second term. But the Eagles refused to surrender, digging deep in the third quarter, matching the Magpies with 11 goals each to keep their dreams alive in the last term. But the steady hands of Shannon and Chloe Phillips (GS), and the great defensive

Skoda is Superb by name By Derek Ogden RARELY does a vehicle go anywhere near living up to its title. However, Skoda’s Superb, the latest version of the large sedan from the Audi VW affiliate, goes mighty close. The third-generation flagship comes to market in the Oliver Twist manner of more, more, more in many ways over its well-credentialed predecessor. For example, the new model offers increased interior space for occupants and luggage and more driver assistance derived from upper-class vehicles.

Car companies tend to supply test vehicles with costly options. Skoda had the confidence in its product to give me the entrylevel Superb 2.0 162TSI sedan with a price tag of $39,990, plus on-road costs. The large Superb sedan appears almost majestic.
