The Casey People’s Panel was a City PG $BTFZ mSTU BOE QBSU PG BO FGGPSU UP see how Council can further meet community needs and expectations over the next 10 years. The panel comprised of 54 community members who were selected based on the demographic representation of the municipality.
Over the course of four information sessions, the panel began by learning how Council works and the challenges it faces through a range of presentations from expert speakers. The group then explored options, discussed trade-offs and issues and heard results from other engagement activities to develop and vote on 24 recommendations to manage Casey’s funding challenge over the next 10 years. The recommendations were delivered at a Council meeting on Tuesday 18 April where representatives from the panel read each of these aloud. Some of the recommendations included:
Âť Publicly report every Council decision against the Vision goals and Council Plan strategic objectives.

A full list can be found at www.caseyconversations.com.au/ peoplespanel. Council concluded that the overall messages received through the experience was to improve transparency of decision making, look at reducing and changing service delivery rather than reducing infrastructure delivery, and more willingness to increase fees for some services rather than rates. At a Council meeting on Tuesday 16 May, Council reported to the community how these
recommendations were considered and incorporated into planning. Council’s draft corporate planning documents are available for comment until 9 June 2017 at caseyconversations.com.au/ourfuture. Council encourages the community to view these documents and provide feedback.

Building a great city Partnerships to Progress A trip to China has reaped the rewards for the City of Casey after a small economic delegation returned with a long list of positive outcomes. The group including City of Casey Mayor Cr Sam Aziz and Councillor Wayne Smith returned from the week long mission on Tuesday 11 April and marked it as ‘extremely successful.’ In an effort to establish investment opportunities and create more local jobs for Casey, the group conducted a series of visits to identify a trade partner for local businesses and develop mutually CFOFmDJBM USBEF BHSFFNFOUT It was indicated that the Dujiangyan City Mayor would visit Casey in June to further progress the economic partnership.

“We also received complimentary feedback from both State and Federal Government in regards to our approach to the trip.� For a full list of the sites and cities the group visited, as well as the positive outcomes achieved, you can view an extensive report in the 2 May Council agenda located at http://www.casey.vic.gov.au/ council/minutes-agendas.

Two men have been jailed after a victim was left paralysed by a hammer blow during an armed home invasion at a Clyde farm eight years ago. After four trials, Brett Audsley, 37, and Jason Parks, 51, were each sentenced to six-and-a-half years’ jail by Victorian County Court judge Jane Patrick on 18 May. Their co-accused Michael Turner was indemnified after giving evidence for the prosecution. The three were armed with a hammer and a conduit bar when they burgled the farm’s home and traumatised three occupants in the hunt for cash and drugs about 11am on 10 January, 2009. During the hold-up, it was believed that Parks felled the homeowners’ adult daughter with a strike to the head, Judge Patrick said. She and her mother were threatened with a knife and marched through the home to find cash. The husband had gone outside to put on his boots, and was struck to the head with a hammer by either Turner or Audsley. The robbers fled, leaving the victim unconscious with a compound depressed skull fracture. He was taken by a helicopter ambulance and operated upon at hospital. As a result of his brain injury, he was initially paralysed down the right side of his body and unable to speak. Though the victim’s condition slightly improved, his right hand, memory, walk and speech remain affected. His retirement plans changed, his family business closed down as a consequence, the man stated to the court. “My life has changed forever,” the
man stated in a victim impact statement. “I’ll never get back my previous life. “Every hour, every day I’ll never be how I was - not physically or emotionally.” Judge Patrick said the harm caused to the family was “serious, significant and ongoing”. The matters had taken several twists and turns through the courts including an appeal of Audsley’s original seven year-plus jail sentence and a retrial of Parks’ non-verdict by jury. Two trials were aborted due to a discharged jury and a judge falling ill. In December 2016, a jury finally returned guilty verdicts for both accused for aggravated burglary, assault, recklessly causing serious injury and armed robbery. Judge Patrick reduced their sentences due to the cases “hanging over their heads” for so long. She handed down a shorter non-parole period for Parks, who had reasonable prospects for rehabilitation. Audsley, with priors including violent offences, burglary, theft and drugs, was judged to have low prospects. His moral culpability was slightly diminished due to his mild intellectual disability, Judge Patrick said. Audsley’s sentence will be partially cumulative with a four-year, nine-month jail term for kidnapping, intentionally causing injury and drug possession handed down in late 2016. The term will take into account 649 days of pre-sentence detention. He’ll be eligible for parole in six years. Parks will be eligible for parole in three-and-a-half years, lessened by 150 days of pre-sentence detention.

Kudos for playgroup By Victoria Stone-Meadows A playgroup in Clyde North has been named ‘Playgroup of the Month’ by Playgroup Victoria for its inclusive atmosphere and fun-learning experiences. Selandra Playgroup is run by Jessica Quinn who has been steering the group since 2015. “I have a very supportive husband which makes it all possible,” she said. Mrs Quinn is a mother of five children herself, so understands the importance of children’s early years development. Selandra Playgroup welcomes families of all nationalities as well as welcoming their cultures and customs. The playgroup allows all people to learn and create bonds that are of profound importance, especially to new mothers who can feel overwhelmed and sometimes isolated in the newly established area. The playgroup utilises the help of other parents and carers who volunteer
their time to give all the children who attend the best possible start in life. A local Selandra playgroup parent, Melanie Wickramasinghe, said that the playgroup had been a wonderful thing for her young son. “Playgroup has helped my son a lot to be around other kids and be friendly,” Ms Wickramasinghe said. “He is an only child, and it is great for him- and for me to be with other mums is great, too.” “Jessica has done a great job and, we always look forward to coming on Mondays.” Playgroup Victoria branches all across the state with many playgroup fashioning their own sessions in a way that suits their unique character and lifestyle, but Selandra stood out for their activities and their inclusiveness. Public Relations Officer for Playgroup Victoria Sinead Halliday said Selandra playgroup has created a strong sense of community in Cranbourne East.

“They comfort and care for one another, sharing stories and milestones.” “Playgroup Victoria is proud to
see the benevolence and generosity bestowed to every single person who walks through their doors.”

Waste levy erosion By Victoria Stone-Meadows City of Casey Councillor Amanda Stapledon has accused the State Government of mishandling funds raised through the Municipal and Industrial Landfill Levy. Cr Stapledon made the accusation during a matter of urgent business at a council meeting on Tuesday 16 May. She claimed that her position is supported by the 31 member councils of the Metropolitan Local Government Waste Forum where she is deputy chair. The 2017/’18 State Budget allocates funds from the levy for Parks Victoria projects including redevelopment of the Parks Victoria website and an updated asset management system. Funds from the levy are also ex-
pected to be used to acquire land for three parks in Melbourne’s growth area and an overhaul of the Environment Protection Act 1970. Cr Stapledon said these initiatives did not reflect the original intent of the levy and that the government was using the funds for pet programs. “I was horrified to learn where it’s going,” she said. “It’s not going into landfill management or toward making landfill more affordable, or education of residents.” “It is considered that the items outlined in the budget paper for Parks Victoria do not meet the intent of the allocation of this fund.” According to Section 70 of the Environmental Protection Act 1970 the Municipal and Industrial Landfill
Levy is to: - Foster environmentally sustainable uses of resources and best practices in waste management to advance the social and economic development of Victoria; and/or - Foster community action or innovation in relation to the reduction of greenhouse gas substance emissions or adaptation or adjustment to climate change in Victoria. A spokesperson for Minister for Energy, Environment, Climate Change and Urban Development Lily D’Ambrosio said the way funds from the levy were spent was consistent with the levy objectives. “Changes were made in 2015 to strengthen how the Fund is administered,” the spokesperson said. “A new Sustainability Fund Prior-
ity Statement was released in 2016, setting out our investment priorities in waste management, resource recovery, sustainable use of resources, greenhouse gas reduction, and climate change adaptation.” “The government also established a new Sustainability Fund Management Committee in 2016 to ensure the Fund best utilises the landfill levy revenue collected for the legislated purposes.” However, Casey City Council has unanimously passed a motion to write a letter to Minister D’Ambrosio to ask her to wind back the funding allocated to Parks Victoria. The letter will also include data outlining the amount of money Casey Council has contributed to the Municipal and Industrial Landfill Levy along with other councils in the forum.

Song that ‘connects’ inspires new kid on Voice block By Casey Neill Hoseah Partsch is inspiring his Dandenong High School classmates to follow their dreams. The Cranbourne West 18-year-old auditioned for television talent contest The Voice on 24 April, singing Ariana Grande’s Almost is Never Enough. “I sing that song a lot. That song I can connect to so much,” he said. “It really describes the love I have for my family and the love my family has for me as well, raising me up to be the boy I am today. “If I had to describe my family with one word it would be love, and that song is about love.” During the audition round, The Voice hopefuls perform for four judges who sit with their backs to the stage. The judge chooses to spin their chair around if they want the performer for their team. All four judges turned around for Hoseah. He chose to join Boy George’s group. “I’m a very shy person when it comes to performing in front of a large crowd,” he said. “I just wanted to do it for my family. “We’ve had a rough lifestyle growing up, my mum being a single parent with four kids. “There’s days when we don’t have food on the table. “My grandfather was just diagnosed with cancer.” They attended Hoseah’s audition with him. “Seeing their reactions, I actually cried, especially for my grandparents,” he said. “Just to see them cry, it made me tear up as well watching it. “Also, my mum, to see her cry - I don’t see it all the time, she’s so strong.” Hoseah was born in New Zealand

and moved to Australia in 2011. “I’ve been singing since I was very young. It started back in church,” he said. “I had a lot of family members who were professional musicians.” He’s the eldest of four siblings. “My younger siblings sing here and there, but not as good as me - nah, joking!” he laughed. “I think when they grow up they’ll be good singers.
“I love to sing. When I sing I feel free. “It’s like I’m singing a poem, to be honest. “It’s just a good feeling, just express how I feel inside.” Hoseah hopes The Voice will help him attain a career in music - and learn how to write a song. “I’m really bad with lyrics. I’ve written the cheesiest songs ever,” he said. He’s also determined to enjoy the experience.
“It’s a bit weird, other people calling your name out of the blue,” he said. “But I guess it’s pretty cool, people recognising me. “It sometimes gets annoying but at the same time you just feel grateful.” The Year 12 said his classmates helped to keep him grounded, and the school had been very supportive. “I’ve had kids say ’you’ve inspired me so much to follow my dreams’,” he said. In the knockout round on Monday
22 May he performed Michael Jackson classic Man in the Mirror and received a standing ovation from the audience and judges. “To have the energy of the crowd pump me up, it was a good feeling,” he said. He’ll now head into the battle rounds as one of the final 24 contestants. The Voice airs on Sundays at 7pm and Monday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.

Fire services shake-up
How we got to this point The new deal is the latest efforts by the State Government to end the protracted dispute between volunteer firefighters and the United Firefighter’s Union (UFU) over an enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA). 2013 - present: United Firefighters Union of paid firefighters locked in pay and conditions dispute with the State Government over an expired EBA. October 2015: Negotiations between UFU and the State Government break down when CFA rejects EBA that it said would affect operational independence. Fair Work Commission steps in to resolve the dispute. 1 June 2016: Commission sided with the UFU that the EBA would not affect CFA volunteers. In the following days, firefighters from both sides took to the streets in protests. 9 June: Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett resigns from Cabinet after refusing to support Commission’s recommendations. Deputy Premier James Merlino is given her job. 10 June: The State Government sacks CFA board because it did not endorse the EBA despite a VFBV injunction delaying a decision. Less than 24 hours later the State Government appoints a new CFA board. 17 June: Former CFA CEO Lucinda Nolan resigns. August - October: New CFA board and State Government is set to pass the EBA when the Federal Government amends Fair Work Act which halts negotiations and ends the injunction. February 2017: CFA and UFU come to an agreement over EBA remuneration and allowances as the dispute over the full EBA continues between CFA, UFU and State Government. Friday 19 May: State Government announces the CFA and MFB would be restructured to end the dispute without breaching the Federal Government’s fair work amendments.

New look gets a hose down A shake-up of fire services in Victoria has created waves among the CFA with uncertainty surrounding the future of volunteer fire services in Victoria. State Emergency Services Minister James Merlino announced on Friday 19 May that paid members of the CFA will join with the MFB to become Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) and the CFA will be left as a solely volunteer organisation. The announcement came as the long-running dispute between the United Firefighters Union and the CFA over an enterprise bargaining agreement sees no end. FRV will be responsible for fighting fires in Melbourne and large regional towns bringing together paid CFA members and MFB firefighters along with a further 450 career firefighters. The volunteer CFA stations across the state will be unchanged under the
new model with the 1220 current CFA brigades continuing to serve their communities. The restructure also includes $56.2 million for training and recruitment and $44 million for new stations for the CFA as well as the extension of presumptive legislation to volunteers which gives all firefighters equal access to compensation for cancers contracted while on duty. The FRV will take over the areas currently covered by integrated stations and boundaries will be redrawn by a new Fire District Review Panel. Integrated fire stations such as Pakenham, Cranbourne, Dandenong, Hallam, and Springvale - where volunteer and paid CFA members work alongside one another - will continue to do so as CFA volunteers and FRV paid firefighters. The Fire Services Statement updat-
ed on Thursday 18 May outlines volunteers at integrated stations will be encouraged to stay in their communities to work alongside the paid firefighters who transition into FRV. The statement also details that volunteers who wish to move to a CFA brigade or transition into a position with FRV will be supported to do so. The announcement drew criticism from the Victorian Opposition and Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV), the organisation that represents CFA volunteers. The VBFB urges all volunteer firefighters to contact their local MPs with questions about the restructure and criticised the government for a lack on consultation regarding the changes. “VFBV welcomes any reforms that improve the way Victorian fire services work but these reforms need to be developed collaboratively and openly,”
the statement said. “VFBV will continue to urge the Government to stop, take a breath and work with us constructively and in consultation with our people delivering the services on the ground to find a model that will modernise Victoria’s fire and emergency services, not take it backward.” At a press conference in Emerald on Friday 19 May, opposition leader Matthew Guy called the restructure a “political fix” that aims to “destroy the CFA”. “With no evidence on breaking up CFA; there is no document that says what the government is announcing is the right way forward, no evidence that says destroying a successful operation is going to be a positive or safe step forward,” he said. Shadow Emergency Services Minister Brad Battin also took aim at the
restructure claiming it will create an atmosphere in integrated stations that is hostile towards volunteers. “I’m hoping between the actual firefighters on the ground it won’t cause divisions but my feeling is we are going to end up with two leadership groups and volunteers not being called out and therefore dropping off.” However, on Friday the CFA has praised the restructure and the extra funding for the organisation. “These reforms will deliver better training, brigade support and equipment for volunteers across Victoria,” the statement said. “Volunteers will remain integral to Victoria’s response to fires and other emergencies, particularly in campaign and surge events.” - Victoria Stone-Meadows

Fire services shake-up
Cranbourne’s CFA, MFB back ‘long overdue’ proposal Paid CFA members at Cranbourne Integrated fire station have spoken out in support of the government’s proposed changes to the CFA and MFB. Career Firefighter at Cranbourne Geoff Barker said it was about time these changes were made and the fire services structure in Victoria was long overdue for an overhaul. “The current boundaries were last updated in 1958, and have not changed since then,” he said. “There are too many areas wrongly zoned as country such as Cranbourne, Dandenong, Frankston, and Springvale, in fact all 35 integrated stations are wrongly zoned.”
Career Firefighter and UFU delegate at Cranbourne Fire Station Geoff Barker. “What you have got is a fire in Richmond burns the same as a fire in Row-
ville, but the fire cover and response is vastly different.” Mr Barker said the changes to fire services would not alter the way paid and volunteer firefighters in Cranbourne worked to protect their community. “Based on the announcements made by the government and the details on the fire services website, the CFA Act will be slightly amended to strengthen the role of volunteers,” he said. “The only thing that will change is our (paid CFA members) employer changes, but the response and the hands on work to fires does not change.” “We maintain an excellent working relationship with our volunteer colleagues, and that won’t change if the
legislation passes.” Mr Barker said he did not think having CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria firefighters in the same building is going to cause conflicts nor will it lead to volunteers leaving the area. “The sentient I understand after having spoken to a few of the volunteers at Cranbourne is that they recognise nothing changes,” he said. “There are elements outside of the volunteers at integrated stations suggesting volunteers will be leaving in the thousands, but that is clearly untrue.” “When you look at the details, volunteers at Cranbourne are not going anywhere; they will still remain to provide surge capacity and deliver services to
Unfazed by changes By Victoria Stone-Meadows While the State Government’s proposed changes to the CFA and MFB causes waves at some integrated stations, volunteer firefighters at Cranbourne are unfazed. Cranbourne is one of 35 fire stations around the state where paid and volunteer CFA members work out of the same building. Under the proposed restructure announced by Emergency Services Minister James Merlino last week, the paid members of the CFA would become part of new organisation Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV). Volunteer firefighter and 1st Lieutenant at Cranbourne Dennis
Latchford said the crew at Cranbourne didn’t see things changing much as the restructure takes effect. “The feeling around Cranbourne is that nothing really will change,” he said. “It’ll be business as normal because we will still be at the station with the same staff we work with now and have worked with in the past.” Mr Merlino visited integrated fire stations around the state on Sunday 21 May to speak with paid and volunteer CFA members about the changes. The restructure raised concerns around command between the CFA and the new FRV, but Mr Latchford
said it’s nothing new. He said the best vehicle for the job would be used and the two organisations would work together in the same way the paid and volunteer CFA firefighters had for years. “That was bought up on Sunday, and it comes down to the call-out on the day,” he said. “Different appliances are needed depending on the time of the year, so sometimes FRV will take the tanker, for example, if it’s needed and different trucks on other jobs that come through.” “The equipment will be interchangeable at the same station as long as those driving it are qualified.”
Mr Latchford also said the restructure was something the crews had been expecting and believe would benefit the expanding Cranbourne and surrounding areas. “There has been talk of some kind of merger for quite a while, so everyone had it in the back of their minds,” he said. “It has happened quicker than what we thought it would, but in these growth areas we do need staff at stations to have those trucks out as quickly as they can.” “Sometimes volunteers may be at work, but with staff they have a 90 second turn-out they have to meet, so it’s better for the community.”
their community.” The United Firefighters Union announced on Wednesday 24 May that they supported the changes as a body and encouraged paid firefighters to do the same. The United Firefighters Union National secretary Peter Marshall said the campaign was about making sure communities were safe from fire. “At the heart of our campaign is the safety of our members and the community,” Mr Marshall said. “We will advocate strongly to ensure any proposed changes to Victoria’s fire services are in the best interests of our members, and the communities they protect.”

Focus on elder abuse
In brief Night invasion Police are urging people to remember to keep their houses secure after an aggravated burglary in Narre Warren overnight between Monday 8 May and Tuesday 9 May. A 26-year-old female and 14-year-old male were asleep when an unknown person or people entered their Prairie Court home via an unlocked back door. The thief stole a purse that contained cash and cigarettes. The occupants of the house woke in the morning to find the kitchen light had been left on by the intruder and the purse missing. Police are appealing for witnesses or neighbours with CCTV systems in the area to contact Casey Crime Investigation Unit on 9705 3111.
Market threat A Berwick Market stallholder was threatened while manning his stall at the weekend. A 48-year-old man allegedly confronted and threatened the stallholder at 7am on Sunday 21 May, before travelling to the Upper Pakenham address of his ex-partner, where he reportedly threatened to harm the stallholder with a firearm. The stallholder and the female ex-partner were uninjured in the incidents. Senior Sergeant Andrew Smart said police would like to speak to the man in relation to the matter. Anyone with information is asked to contact Pakenham police on 5945 2500 or call Crime stoppers 1800 333 000.
Witnesses sought Police are seeking witnesses or CCTV footage from a burglary in Cranbourne East where a house was ransacked. Police believe between 9.30am and 2.30pm on Tuesday 9 May, a person or people forced their way into a house on Murrayfield Street. The homeowner returned to find several items missing from the house, including cash and jewellery to the value of $10,000. The house had been thoroughly searched. Police are asking anyone who saw something or anyone who may have CCTV in the area to contact Detective Senior Constable Michelle Chiang at Narre Warren police station on 9705 3111.
Decade of crime Police have uncovered a whole fleet of stolen cars in Pearcedale after a search warrant was executed on a property on Pearcedale Road. Police raided the property on Thursday 18 May where they found 31 vehicles that had been stolen over the past 10 years. The investigation into the stolen cars is ongoing and no arrests have been made to date. Anyone with further information is urged to contact Casey CIU on 9705 3114 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Health correction The Cranbourne News reported on 18 May that a higher than average number of cases of Legionnaires disease had been detected at the Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre. The article should have read that the cases were detected in the area around the shopping centre. Centre management has moved to assure customers that there are no cooling towers at Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre, and the centre was not the source of the outbreak.

By Bonny Burrows A local community legal service is shining a light on a form of domestic violence not often discussed - elder abuse. Casey Cardinia Legal Service (CCLS) is hoping to bring awareness to the little-known issue targeting society’s most vulnerable, in the hope that more victims come forward. To assist this, it has launched a free outreach service and elder abuse program, available to residents across Cardinia Shire, the City of Casey and Greater Dandenong. “A lot of people don’t know that elder abuse is a form of domestic violence, so we’re really trying to get that out there,” CCLS elder abuse program co-ordinator Simon Kelly said.
“We’re trying to get the message out that they (the elderly) have rights too.” According to CCLS, elder abuse comes in many forms including physical and sexual violence, emotional abuse and financial exploitation. Despite what many may think, physical violence wasn’t the most common form of elder abuse, but rather financial estimated to make up about 50 per cent of elderly abuse, Mr Kelly said. He said the difficulty in combating financial abuse was that many victims and perpetrators often didn’t see the abusive actions were wrong. The intentions were sometimes good, Mr Kelly said, however controlling financial situations of others without their consent was still abuse. “The issue is when people think
they’re doing the right thing, for example selling the elderly person’s property or accessing their bank accounts with possibly good intentions, even though the elderly resident doesn’t want them to,” he said. A person’s decision making capacity also came into play, Mr Kelly said. “Finance abuse has been defined as managing the finances of a competent person without permission,” he said. “And that’s the issue. How do you determine when somebody no longer has capacity to make informed decisions?” The complexities of the financial elder abuse were vast, he said, therefore it was important people kept their eye out for possible signs of exploitation.
“People may comment they have no money or they don’t have access to their funds,” Mr Kelly said. “It can be hard to determine if something is in fact financial abuse, particularly when the elderly involved have health conditions that may alter their capacity. “Therefore, we recommend, if anyone suspects anything to contact a professional. At least then, they can determine if it is in fact financial abuse.” He said the more people were aware of the abuse, the easier it would be to protect those at risk. If you suspect someone is experiencing financial abuse, or to find out more, contact Casey Cardinia Legal Service on 9793 1993 or your personal solicitor.
Letters Liberal strategy under fire I was heartened to see the apology put out by the Liberal Gembrook MP Brad Battin for the slur he made against professional firefighters and their late attendance to the Black Saturday bush fires. Saying that they delayed their appearance by five and a half hours was just wrong. However, I am not surprised as I think it’s a further strategy by the Liberals to drive the rift deeper between the professionals and volunteers, both of who do a great job. Not happy with the mischief they caused with their website Handsoffthecfa.com.au (which mysteriously disappeared after the federal election), the Liberals completely sucked the air out of the Fiskville inquiry and it’s findings which highlighted the reluctance of the CFA board at the time to share board papers with the inquiry, even though required to under subpoena. Perhaps if Mr Battin had paid more attention to his duties as an MP and, as part of the Fiskville enquiry, had actually had attended the first two hearings, he may have learned some actual evidence of wrongdoing in relation to the health and safety of members of the volunteer brigades whilst they trained there. Rather that than concentrating on the demonisation of professional firefighters, he should ask the previous board why it refused under subpoena to release these documents. In other words, represent his constituents properly instead of making up stories. Vince O’Grady, Bundoora.

Socially speaking On Thursday 18 May, the CranbourneBerwick News Facebook page attracted a flurry of activity when a story was published regarding Casey Council renewing a push for chaplains in public places. Always a divisive subject, the latest episode in this saga attracted the following comment from readers: Damian Chapman: The overt push of religious dogma by our council is embarrassing, and in opposition to the diverse range of ideologies represented in our municipality. Sue Baldizoni: Just get people out there! There is a human tragedy occurring in our community while people at Council fight about stupid irrelevant stuff. At Westfield Fountain Gate alone you can see youths congregating, pushing drugs, and being taken advantage of by predators. Stop arguing and do something! Von Hoover: Go to church/synagogue/ temple/mosque/sacred grove on your own friggin' dime, not the taxpayers’ dime! Kylie Mercieca: There are many trained youth workers and empathetic peers that are not affiliated with religious groups religion would turn many wayward teen away. Judie Hedrick: Not happy Jan!

Women have to wait for upgrade By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council has declared Barry Simon Reserve’s cramped changerooms are “female-friendly” and won’t rebuild the pavilion for nearly a decade. On 16 May, Casey councillors endorsed a $25,000 allocation to master plan the clubrooms’ upgrade, as well as $105,000 of short-term upgrades such as a new kitchen door. Casey councillor Rosalie Crestani, who was taken aback by the assessment, vowed that improvements would be made for the growing legion of female footy teams at the Endeavour Hills ground. “We need to have better facilities for women in the upgrade,” Cr Crestani said. “It’s very dubious what seems to constitute femalefriendly.” Casey council officers found the current set-up of home-and-away toilets with cubicle toilets and showers was “female friendly”. Tenant club Endeavour Hills Falcons was able to time-table its training and match days to avoid a “conflict of use” between males and females, the report stated. The Falcons, however, ar-

table to squeeze in Auskick players and eight senior and junior, men’s and women’s sides - and their opponents for training and game days. The second kitchen entrance will be installed to avoid volunteers walking through the changerooms to get to the kitchen.
In the short term, the soiled changeroom carpets will be replaced with vinyl, the public toilet will be refurbished and the ramp to the public toilet will be upgraded. The pavilion is being prioritised for design in 202324, with construction the following year.
Have a say on council's spending By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey residents have until Friday 9 June to submit their thoughts on the council’s 2017/18 budget, after the draft papers were released at a special council meeting on 9 May. Residents have the opportunity to voice their opinion on council’s vision for the future, short and long term capital works programs and long term financial plan. The draft capital works program for 2017/18 details where council will be spending more than $124 million in the upcoming financial year. The most expensive aspect outlined in the draft program is $30,749,000 allocated for various land acquisitions across the municipality. The remaining $93 million has been divided among equipment, plant, and infrastructure spending. The big spending on community infrastructure will see council spend over $35 million on upgrading and building new community centres across Casey. The biggest single spend in the community infrastructure space in 2017/18 is $17.2 million allocated for Bunjil Place. A new family and community centre in Autumn Place in Doveton is also allocated big funding, with over $3.2 million being allocated to this project. Autumn Place also takes out the most funding allocated under parks and reserves as well, with $1 million allocated to Urban Heart Park at the Autumn Place Shopping Centre. More than $10 million has been allocated for Eliburn Family and Community Centre, Selandra Integrated Community Centre in Cranbourne East, and Strathaird Children’s Centre in Narre Warren

South. Recreational facilities were also big winners in the draft capital works, with council allocating almost $22 million to the areas sports ovals and centres. The biggest single allocation for sports facilities in Casey is $2.5 million for the conversion of the floor of the Terry Vickerman Indoor Sports Centre in Cranbourne for multi sports and gymnastics use. Leisure facilities in Casey have not been allocated as much funding as other council assets, with $1.4 million going towards tourist and leisure attractions with more than half of that slated for the Old Cheese Factory in Berwick. Roads take up a sizeable portion of council spending with Casey allocating almost $11.5 million to fix, upgrade and construct new roads. The most expensive road spend for Casey in 2017/18 is the construction of Smiths Lane between North Road and Browns Road in Cranbourne South at a cost of $1.06 million. The construction of Smiths Lane will allow for the further expansion of the Cranbourne South area towards the costal villages. The second most expensive road project for 2017/18 will see turning lanes constructed on Ernst Wanke Road allowing traffic flow from Harkaway Road to Hessell Road at a cost of $764,000. Casey Council will be accepting submissions from groups and individuals regarding the budget until 9 June and submissions wil be considered at a Council Meeting on 20 June.

Quite a night A well rounded Business profile
The Cranbourne Harness Racing Club has raised more than $12,000 in three years for women’s cancer research following a successful 2017 Girls Night Out at the club. The 2017 event raised almost $4000 for the Women’s Cancer Foundation on Saturday 13 May as well as supporting women’s harness racing. As well as a fundraiser, the night’s feature race was the fe-
male drivers only Dani Lewis Memorial Pace, held in honour of harness racing driver Dani Lewis who died in a training accident at Cranbourne in 2014. Racing Manager Cameron Gallagher said the night was a great success and everyone involved had a fun time raising much needed funds for women’s cancer research. “It was a very successful event and we had about 170
people in the function with close to $4000 raised for the Women’s Cancer Foundation,” he said. “It was a lot of fun and the dance floor towards the end of the night was something else.” The night was made possible through funding grants from local businesses, the state government and the hard work of the Cranbourne Harness Racing Club.

early education St Therese’s Primary School is taking enrolments for 2018. Part of St Agatha’s Parish, St Therese’s Primary School boasts a safe and caring learning environment, where children are supported and encouraged to learn to their full capacity. The school’s motto, ‘Together, we grow’, has never been more relevant as the students are increasingly encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning. Principal Terry Cahill said this was brought about by involving the students when setting their learning goals and providing them with the necessary tools to feel confident and competent in their learning. “St Therese’s learning focus is not purely academic, as the dedicated teaching staff place a strong focus on developing and improving the personal and social skills and capabilities of their students,“ Mr Cahill said. The school supports an array of programs such as Seasons for Growth, Bounce Back and a buddy system, as well as interschool sport (grades four to six), swimming program (all year levels), and an annual camp for grade five and six students. Mr Cahill is excited to integrate a new program into the

the simple things extraordinarily well, the school is committed to valuing its students and their development. Students actively engage in religious education lessons and regularly gather to celebrate mass in the school’s chapel." Enrolments for 2018 opened on 18 May.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Kids to get a safe haven By Victoria Stone-Meadows At risk youth in Cranbourne and surrounding areas will be given a new home thanks to Boutique Homes and children’s charity OzChild. The new house is ready to begin construction in the Tulliallan Estate in Cranbourne North and will provide a safe space for the region’s most vulnerable young people. The house will be a modified version of one of Boutique Homes’ best-selling models and will feature open plan living, dining and kitchen, a separate home theatre and extended outdoor living space.
OzChild is the largest provider of foster care for vulnerable children in Melbourne’s South East helping more than 6000 children, young people and families every year. The house from Boutique Homes will form part of OzChild’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’ program and will house siblings together who may have been separated in a traditional foster care scenario. OzChild CEO Lisa Griffiths said the importance of siblings staying together could not be overstated and the house would go a long way in improving outcomes for children in
foster care. “It’s a wonderful commitment by Boutique Homes to make this temporary home as beautiful as a display home, it will really give children and young people in our care hope, dignity and the chance to shine,” she said. Managing Director of ABN Group Victoria - the company that owns Boutique Homes - Aidan Hooper said they were proud to partner with OzChild to provide this important service. “We recognise the importance of siblings remaining together and
supporting OzChild in this way will help brothers and sisters stay safe, and stay together,” he said. “We have encouraged our staff to be part of this initiative, with the team holding fundraising activities to help raise funds towards this important project. “We have also had generous contributions and support from our valued supplier partners and trades, who we look forward to working with to deliver a quality new home for our friends at OzChild." The new house is expected to be completed by October.

Music and more in pub with no pokies By Victoria Stone-Meadows
Paul White will be bringing live music and good food to the former St Agatha's Church in Cranbourne. 168730 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS
A new pub is coming to Cranbourne that will foster independent live music, offer exciting food and drink and shun poker machines. Paul White is the man behind the church conversion at 150156 South Gippsland Highway, and he has a vision of bringing something new to Cranbourne. “We are going through the last processes now and we identified Cranbourne as the ideal location because the existing market at the moment is just gaming driven,” Mr White said. “We are very anti-pokies, we’re not into that side of stuff.” Mr White has 25 years’ ex-
perience in the pub business, bringing energy to his venues that have made them successful in tourist hot spots such as Mt Hotham, Dinner Plain and the Mornington Peninsula. His pubs have a reputation for supporting independent Australian music and bringing people together to enjoy great food and drinks. “The type of music we love is live independent music so we are after more people with their own material rather than banging out pub anthems on a Friday and Saturday,” he said. “Our ethos is that food and music bring people together so we are going to have a modern
fusion Australian menu with an extensive gourmet pizza selection and we will have over 20 beers, ginger beers and ciders on tap.” The new pub in Cranbourne - named The Amazing Grace will give local musicians and independent artists a chance to perform their own material. “Local bands and artists will be able to showcase themselves as we will be having one night during the week specifically about local artists,” Mr White said. The former church opposite Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre that will house the new pub and music venue is under-
going renovations including sound-proofing and an extension. While the renovations will continue until the old church is just right, Mr White is confident the new venue will be up and running by September. “The closer the time gets to opening we can expand a bit more on exactly what we can and can’t offer,” he said. “However, what we want to do is bring a diverse range of products from craft beers and spirits, to cocktails and a different range of stuff that hasn’t entered the Cranbourne market. “Something new but with and old school feel.”

Entertainment �� Dining, what’s on, bands and more…
Painting the big picture With more than 300 entries on display, this weekend’s Art Show Pakenham is sure to have something for everyone. Now in its 41st year, the show provides a mix of contemporary and classic artworks which respect the show’s beginnings. “We think it’s really important to respect the traditional nature of the show,” art show president Jillian Ronald said. Formerly part of the Yakkerboo Festival, the Art Show Pakenham has showcased the work of local artists since 1976. This year established art-
ists Do Noble and Sue Jarvis will again offer their works for sale, as too will a group of emerging artists. Attendees will be able to take home artwork in a variety of mediums including paintings, sculptures, mosaics, prints and collages. Ms Ronald said a much anticipated highlight of the opening night was the wearable art parade. Now in its third year, Ms Ronald said the wearable art category brought “a real contemporary edge” to the show as well as embracing the performance aspect of the parade itself.
This year’s judges of the 25 categories are Janine Good, a painting tutor at Living Learning Pakenham, and Jacquie Nichols-Reeves, the senior arts officer in charge of managing the City of Whitehorse Art Collection, a significant local government collection of almost 1700 items. Art Show Pakenham will be held at the Pakenham Hall, corner of John and Henry streets. The official opening kicks off on 26 May at 7pm, with general viewing on 27 and 28 May. Visit the Art Show Yakkerboo Facebook page for more details.

GUIDE MAT SUCKLING DIRECTOR OF RMS HOMES SAVING for a deposit is the topic of conversation among news media and our politicians. We are constantly hearing how the market is so unattainable due to sky rocketing house prices, and the difficulty our young people have in saving for a deposit. Industry leaders have had plenty to say, including a brash young property mogul who has declared young people need to skip the overseas trips and the weekly smashed avocado breakfast to help themselves save enough to purchase a home. Is he right? Or is he just a precious brat fed from the silver spoon of mum and dad with no real appreciation for the struggle of everyday young Australians? Each circumstance is unique and different - nothing is necessarily right or wrong. Yes - there are some things the older generations need to take responsibility for in relation to societal and financial issues we presently face, but relying heavily on the bank of mum and dad to fund our youth out of the ‘affordability crisis’ is not necessarily the right answer. The most recent Federal Budget proposal of utilising a portion of superannuation as an additional savings incentive is a good way to
encourage strong financial behaviour to assist in saving for a deposit. But there are other things young people can do to help themselves into a home. From experience, we deal with people from all walks of life who have been exposed to all types of situations and circumstances. The decisions we make now cannot be blamed on our forefathers - the first step is taking responsibility for our actions. Was buying that $50,000 car without any savings the wise choice for your short-term, medium-term and long-term financial goals? Was taking out that $10,000 credit card to pay for the trip overseas you couldn’t already afford the right move? Next time you are thinking of unnecessarily upgrading your car or taking out a personal loan to go on a holiday, ask yourself - can I really afford this? Do I really need this? Can I live in my car? Can I afford to save for a house and pay off my personal loan when I get home from my holiday? If you are answering no - then you are jeopardising your own financial future for short-term pleasure and longterm pain. In order to save for a home, you require discipline, financial maturity and financial responsibility. Once you get your home, if the need desperately arises to buy the car or go on a holiday you can easily refinance with equity. The smart money lies in working hard and saving today to get your home, so you can enjoy the rest of your life tomorrow.

Sport
�� Cruising... Rays take a walk through the Ranges Page 28
�� Connecting people with the local sport they love.
The champ is back! By David Nagel This was no ordinary roar. This was a cry that emanated from the very core of Cranbourne champion Marc Holt - 42 weeks of pent up emotion, of anger and anxiety, of opportunities missed, of frustration, of his deep love for football - a roar that reverberated around the sporting fields of the South East Football Netball League. And just like that ... the champ was back! He was back doing what he loves most, and doing what he does best, kicking goals for his beloved Cranbourne Football Club. The 31-year-old was celebrating his fifth of six goals kicked against Officer, a goal that stretched a 12-point three-quartertime lead out to 18 points. The star was swamped three minutes later when a signature contested mark resulted in his sixth for the afternoon, the 948th of his glittering career ... the Eagles were home. A broken left leg, suffered on 30 July last year, threatened to end his stellar football career for good. “Heaps of times I thought I wouldn’t be back playing footy,” Holt said after the game. “Because of the type of surgery, I’ve got a rod in my leg and not many people play a physical sport with those in. They have to stay in for 18 months, rods and screws, but I couldn’t wait any longer. It’s great to be back, it’s what I love and what I’ve always loved doing and I’ve hated not being able to do it.” The Eagles’ skipper said he had reservations heading in. “It felt like my first game again,” he said. “I was worrying about my leg,
worrying about my body, having to break through those first mental barriers was really important. Just making sure my leg was alright. I just did it the way I do it, went for the first one and had a crack.” Ironically, it was a crack in his lower left leg that started a long a painful process. One that he thought he had overcome by Christmas but one that reared its ugly head again in the pre-season. “Yeah, I didn’t know how bad it was when I did it,” he reflected. “I thought I had just cracked the leg but I basically tore every ligament in my ankle. I started training in January, in a heap of pain for about a month, trying to run, just thinking it was teething problems. “I was going to get a cortisone injection, had a scan through that process and that’s when they discovered the ligament damage. That was late February and I had to start a whole new rehab program again.” Holt missed plenty because of the injury. He missed playing footy with his mates, some of whom shared the pain of losing four consecutive grand finals before righting that wrong last year. Watching that triumph unfold was a bag of mixed emotions for the loyal Eagle. “Personally it’s hard, of course, but I just wanted the club to win that premiership last year so everyone could enjoy the experience,” he said. “I was lucky enough to go undefeated and win the premiership in 2011 and it was great to see the boys experience it last year. They got that feeling, unfortunately I didn’t play a part on the day but they made me feel a massive part of it. That’s just part of football isn’t it?
“Every pub story is different, and I’m lucky; I’m never going to be ungrateful enough to be upset that I missed out on that flag. I was so proud of the boys but when I drove off and I was alone the reality set in. It’s football, I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in so many good stories and last year wasn’t a great one. It’s shithouse what happened, but I’ll never complain about it.” Holt said he had made contact with his 2011 premiership coach now Officer mentor Doug Koop prior to the match. “There was a cheeky little phone call but he’s a great bloke and he’ll be just as rapt for me as anyone else; we’ve been through a lot together,” he said. “Unfortunately it had to work out so well for me against his team.” The goal-kicking whiz said he received great support through his tough times and praised one special person in particular. “Definitely my wife Alicia,” he said. “It was pretty terrible - the broken leg - and I had to be looked after a lot. There was nine or 10 days before the surgery when I was basically bed-ridden and couldn’t move so needed a lot of looking after. She was there, she did everything, she gritted her teeth and has done the Holt thing and just kept battling away.” So is there unfinished business to be taken care of this year? “There is, I see myself as a selfless person, but there is that little bit of a selfish side that is desperate to get another medal,” he said. “My career won’t be validated by it but I just want to get that feeling again ... it’s such a great feeling, it’s hard to describe.” Just imagine the mighty roar!

Angelo heads to national titles By Russell Bennett
Dandenong baseballer Angelo Reale Rontos is part of the Southern Mariners squad set to compete in the Under 12 nationals in Lismore in Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT June. 168592
Hampton Park baseball young gun Angelo Reale Rontos has more than a few things in common with his idol, retired New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter. He’s got a roaring competitive spirit, has supreme self-belief, and has an unending work ethic. And he’s also spent time playing at short-stop. One day soon he may also reach the world stage playing the sport he loves. The Hampton Park Secondary College student - who plays for Dandenong and has also had stints at Pakenham and Mulgrave - will next month head to Lismore as part of the Southern Mariners’ Under 12 Little League baseball team for the Australian Nationals a precursor to the Little League World Series in America. The 12-year-old rising star is already a relative veteran of the sport after starting in tee-ball.
Angelo used to live near the club at Dandenong and every time he made his way down there, he’d be hell-bent on staying. Over his journey, he tried his luck as a pitcher before finding his groove as a catcher and hitter. “You need good reflexes to be a catcher,” he said. “You need to be like a wall.” But Angelo also takes pride in his throwing ability and picking off players running between bases. He was one of more than 50 youngsters who tried out for the Mariners side that ultimately competed in - and won - the state titles. Next up - Lismore’s nationals. Angelo has friends playing at various clubs throughout the south east, but at Dandenong - with a great group of team-mates and coaches - he’s found a home. But he’s not resting on his laurels
any time soon - particularly with the lure of ultimately competing in the United States. “I’m always working on my hitting,” he said. “I try to keep balanced and keep my head down, and sometimes just go for the safe hit and not worry about the home run.” He plays baseball through the summer and winter, and plays softball in the summer too - through which he’s earned School Sport Victoria honours as part of the Under 12 state team that came in third place. The speedy young left-handed hitter with a strong right throwing arm needs support to continue on his baseball journey - which isn’t cheap, and involves plenty of travel; both interstate and overseas.

Demons bring the magic By Nick Creely VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 6 With three consecutive losses and a daunting ask against the previously undefeated Port Melbourne, Casey emerged winners in one of their best wins in years, rising up in a monumental last quarter to win by 43-points at Casey Fields on Saturday night. In what had the intensity of a final, the opening term was frenetic, with both sides looking potent in attack. Under the lights of Casey Fields, the crowd was treated to high quality VFL football. The Dees started in perfect fashion, with Mitch Gent finding the goals in the opening minutes, before the excitement machine Alyosio Ferreira scored the second major to give them a handy lead. But two fifty-metre penalties gifted the Borough its first two goals, with the momentum taking a major swing in Port’s favour, as they started to get their game up and running. The Demons looked the better side in the second term, with an increase in tackling pressure and some class through AFL listed players Jake Melksham, Jack Trengove and Alex NealBullen taking their advantage to 11-points at half time. The game became an arm wrestle in the third term with goals becoming harder to score,
but a double strike to Liam Hulett gave the Demons the break and all the momentum heading into a potentially season defining last quarter. And despite Port getting off to a quick start and kicking the opening goal of the final term, class prevailed with goals to Alex Neal-Bullen and Jay Kennedy-Harris, before a magical cameo from Eddie Morris sealed the deal, blowing the lead out late. Morris, who is enjoying a stellar season with the Demons, kicked three successive goals in an epic display to hand Port its first defeat of 2017. There were plenty of winners around the ground for Casey - Jake Melksham was once again industrious with 33 disposals, Alex Neal-Bullen (35 disposals, 1 goal) had a dose of leather poisoning, Bailey Fritsch continued his rise as an AFL prospect with an exciting forward display, while Ben Kennedy accumulated 24 disposals and a goal in another classy display. But biggest praise could perhaps go to vice-captain Jimmy Munro, who played a wonderful defensive game on ex-AFL forward Robin Nahas. Nahas - playing in his 100th VFL match - went scoreless and had seven disposals, with Munro sticking to him like a glove and taking away his match winning ability. After starting the season in the Development League,
Munro has been in a rich vein of form, named in the best for the last four weeks. Casey now heads into the VFL round bye with a 2-4 record and plenty of momentum, and will be back in action on 4 June with a clash at Piranha Park against Coburg. The VFL state match on Saturday against WA - which will be coached by Casey’s very own Justin Plapp - will be broadcast live on Channel 7 from 2pm. Demons’ forward Bailey Fritsch will play in the team, which consists of the best VFL players from around Victoria.

Heartbreak for Cavaliers
Brent Hobba scored 33 points in Sunday's overtime thriller. 167974 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Hunter Marks (28 points and 13 rebounds) was highly impressive, while Jake Pinkus (14 points) and Hudson De Bartoli (13 points) each contributed strongly for the Cavs. YOUTH LEAGUE TWO WOMEN It was yet another brilliant weekend for the Cavs, who took two wins from two to further stamp their authority over the competition. Saturday afternoon saw the Cavs take on Southern Peninsula Sharks, where they won 7066. With the Cavs holding a narrow four point lead into the last quarter, both sides shot equally in the last to seal the result. The very next day saw the Cavs travel to Mornington to face the Breakers, where they again won by four points - 56-60. Again, the Cavs closed out the final quarter brilliantly, with Alyssa Weston (22 points) contributing another strong performance.

BIG V BASKETBALL REVIEW - ROUND 9 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MEN A duo of tough losses over the weekend has seen the Casey Cavaliers temporarily lose its spot in the top four. On Saturday night, the Cavs hosted top four side Waverley Falcons and right from the outset were unable to get their game up and running, eventually falling 84-66. In each of the quarters, the impressive Falcons were able to keep the Cavs under 20 points. Desperate to bounce back, the Cavs travelled to play Ringwood on Sunday. And in one of the games of the season to date, The Hawks just edged the Cavs 121-120 in an overtime thriller (OT). With defence not a concern for either side, the game became a scoring frenzy. The Cavs held a four-point lead midway through the OT, before Jacob Gibson (42 points, 12 rebounds, five assists) stole the show, taking the game away with some clutch shooting. Brent Hobba (33 points) was on song for the Cavs in the heartbreaking finish. DIVISION ONE WOMEN The previously bottom placed Cavs completely stunned ladder leaders Werribee Devils on Sunday afternoon, winning 64-60. After trailing at half time, the Cavs ran away with the game in a 24-14 period in the third, before narrowly holding on as the Devils fought back. In a game where the Cavs where superb in defence, it all came down to stopping star duo Rohanee Cox and Jessy Price that sealed the result. YOUTH LEAGUE TWO MEN The Cavs completely outplayed a disappointing Maccabi Warriors side on Saturday night, winning 79-57 and further entrenching themselves within the top four. The Warriors struggled to score in the opening half, as the Cavs carved them up, before steadying late to narrow the margin back.

Doves end Eagles hoodoo By David Nagel Doveton will host Berwick in a mouth-watering top-of-the-table clash at Robinson Oval this Saturday after its credibility rating went through the roof with a nine-point victory over Beaconsfield. The victory broke an eightgame losing streak against the Eagles and confirmed Aaron Davey’s boys as the big improvers in the South East Football Netball League. This was a remarkably tight game of football, with neither team conceding an inch in a game where no player could score multiple goals for the afternoon. It took 14 minutes for Connor Guley to kick the opening point of the match! The Doves had a purple patch in the second and third quarters, kicking five of six goals to open up a 23-point lead. The Eagles bounced back with majors to Troy Aust, Robbie McMillan and Kyle O’Sullivan
to close the gap to just four points at the final change. The only goal of the last quarter to Sam Raru buried the bone for the Doves and Davey with a special feeling. “We’ve been up and down in big games, even against Cranny we went in with the form on the board, but didn’t get the job done,” Davey said. “I just told the boys that if we want to be a really good team we need to win games like this so it was great to get over the line.” He was also thrilled with that last-quarter response. “We haven’t done well in last quarters in the past,” he said. “Beacy got us in the (elimination) final last year and Cranbourne got us earlier this season, so it was good the way we responded in the last quarter. When challenged some of our blokes really stood up. I highlighted some efforts from Kyle Hendy, who brought the ball to ground despite being outsized; they’re the little things that win you a game of footy.”
Defenders stood tall on a day where no player would kick multiple goals. Ryan Hendy, Frank D’Agostino and Matt Jameson were sensational for the Doves while Nick Battle had a stack of the pill through the midfield. Cranbourne champion Marc Holt made a stunning return to football with his six goals crucial in the Eagles’ 26-point victory over Officer. Holt -making his return from a broken leg sustained on 30 July last year- was in imperious touch, kicking two goals early in the last quarter to break the contest open. Skipper Matty Clarke kicked three for the Kangaroos. The Scanlon family of Narre Warren had a day out against Hampton Park, with Nick kicking 11 and Stewart 10 in a 189-point thumping of Hampton Park at Robert Booth Reserve. Middle brother Dean kicked four in the reserves. “It was a special day, Dean was probably pleased with his
four goals when he walked off in the twos, but Stewie and I trumped him quite significantly,” Nick said with a chuckle. “I really enjoyed it. To both get double figures ... that’s unbelievable really.” And eighth-placed Pakenham has surprised many with a surprisingly competitive 26-point loss to Berwick. The winless Lions really stood for something on the weekend. They showed their intent at the first bounce when Chris Cardona went hard at the footy, leaving James Magner dazed after a solid clash of heads. The Lions had a real thirst for the contest and were rewarded for their efforts when emerging ruckman Liam Tyrrell kicked the first goal of the match. Russ Lehman kicked four and the Blackwood boys -Sam and Tom- were terrific for the Lions but the class of Madi Andrews and Michael Riseley carried the Wickers across the line.

Wickers’ hard work finally pays dividends By David Nagel Netball is enjoyed most when hard work eventually pays off, and Berwick certainly enjoyed its 12-goal, 53-41, victory over Pakenham at Edwin Flack Reserve on Saturday. Winless at four attempts, the Wickers have been competitive, and put together a solid body of work, but just couldn’t crack it for those elusive four premiership points. A visit from the bottom-placed Lions would end that frustrating run and leave coach Janine Kilmartin ecstatic with the victory. “We’ve been pipped on the line a couple of times, so to finally get a win on the board is great reward for a lot of hard work.” Kilmartin said. Pakenham led by a goal at quarter time, but the Wickers turned things around with a 15-6 second quarter. Emily Pratt (C), Olivia Macente (wing attack) and Sarah Nash (wing defence) were terrific for the winners, feeding Itagia Armataga (goal shooter) and Emily Wilson (goal attack) with plenty of quality ball. Winnable games against Doveton and ROC are next on the horizon. “We’re super-excited by the challenge over the next two weeks,” Kilmartin said. “We get most of our players back on board, and it’s all about starting strongly, staying composed and completing our work. It will be a tough mental game for us but I think the belief we have gained will hold us in good stead.” Beaconsfield’s double-chance aspirations have received a massive shot in the arm with the Eagles proving too powerful for Doveton at Holm Park Reserve. The 50-39 victory was set early with the Eagles producing an elite standard of netball in the first half. The Eagles led 16-8 at the first change and kept their pedal to the metal in the second quarter, scoring 17-8 to lead 33-16 at half time. Gun performers like Ash Gill (C) and Jasmine Jones (WA) through the midcourt, and bookends Dani Cameron (goal keeper) and Bianca Sanzaro (GS) were simply superb
Emily Wilson had a keen eye for the ring during Berwick’s first win of the season against Pakenham. 168491 Pictures: ROB CAREW during the Eagles early onslaught. Full credit to the Doves, they did outscore the Eagles 23-17 in the second half -but the damage had been well-and-truly done. Leah Seeto (GS) led the secondhalf revival for the Doves, scoring 21 of the 23 goals after the main break. Narre Warren is back in familiar territory, inside the top three, after overcoming an early challenge from Hampton Park at Robert Booth Reserve. Neither team would allow an inch of latitude in the opening term, scores locked at eight apiece, before the Magpie-machine started to purr. Kealeigh Brown (GA) and Chloe
Phillips (GS) took full advantage of some hard-earned midcourt supremacy earned by Leigh Taylor (C), Britt Mashado (WA) and Erin Clark (wing defence), while Tracey Dell (GK) and Caitlin Stephens (goal defence) were as tough as nails in defence. The Magpies scored 16-10 in the second term, opening up a lead they would never surrender. The Redbacks now find themselves two games outside the top five with a visit from premiership favourite Tooradin the next challenge on the agenda. Kassidy (C) and Channing Withers (WD) tried hard for home side while Karli Foster (GD) was her
usual handful in defence. And Cranbourne has consolidated its position inside the top five with a 55-37 win over ROC. The Eagles played exceptionally in the first half, leading 32-18, before coasting home to victory. Tegan Stahl (GS) and Tahlia Coates (GA) were dynamic in the attacking ring for the Eagles, making the most of some brilliant and clever passing from Natalie Sparks (WA) and Steph Ryan (C). Alysson Jeanes (GD), Courtney Linhart (GK) and Laura Quinn (GD) were under immense pressure in the second half for the Kangas but stood tall in defiance. Tooradin-Dalmore had the bye.

’Rays find their sting By Nick Creely TAC CUP REVIEW - ROUND 8 From start to finish, the Dandenong Stingrays dominated in all facets of the game. Indecisive ball movement, a lack of tackling pressure and an inability to convert have plagued the highlyrated Rays in recent weeks, but they finally found their mojo. And in Saturday morning’s empathetic 63-point win over Eastern Ranges at Shepley Oval, the Rays moved to a 4-4 record, keeping their season alive. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the Rays this season, who despite playing some electrifying football in patches, have often been overrun and exposed around the ground. But after a week of soul-searching, the Rays came out blazing, kicking the first two goals early in the contest to hold a narrow lead at quarter time over the inconsistent Ranges, a side looking to keep its season alive. After the Ranges opened their account in the second with a goal to Kaleb Van Beek, the Rays went berserk, piling on seven goals in a dominant 14-minute patch, to take a commanding 49-point lead into half time. And despite the game stagnating in scoring as the tempo upped an ante, the Rays went into the final change 41-points clear of the Ranges and eyeing a potentially season defining four points. With a bit of party time in the last, small forward Jai Nanscawen (four goals) feasted on the impres-

sive work of the midfield group to snag three final term goals, in what has been an impressive rise for the Rosebud youngster. In Nanscawen’s seven games in the 2017 season, he has kicked 14 goals. Stingrays coach Craig Black was proud of his group’s resolve after last week’s heavy defeat, praising his team for responding with their backs against the wall. “The boys were disappointed last week with their efforts - especially wearing the old heritage jumper but they came out and played the style they train for,” he said. “In this competition, things change week-to-week - it was important that we went out and competed.”

Exciting small forward Jai Nanscawen booted four goals in the Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS 63-point win. 168489 Black said it was an excellent team performance, but pointed out certain individuals who took their game to the next level. “I thought Mason De Wit (31 disposals, seven tackles) was great off half back, as well as Hunter Clark (28 disposals) and Tom De Koning (four goals, two contested marks),” he said. “Mitch Cotter (24 disposals, 11 tackles) also was outstanding - he is as brave a player as I’ve seen and always put his body on the line. “It was just a great team performance, really.” While in defence, Angus Pater-
son continues to shine in a key position role, playing another stellar game. Standing 198cm, Paterson has filled the void left by Oscar Clavarino, with his intercept marking particularly impressive. The TAC Cup has a bye next round due to Development Weekend, but the Stingrays will travel up to Bendigo to face the Pioneers on 4 June, in what looms as a huge clash for both sides. With the Pioneers just a game off the bottom, they will be desperate for a more improved performance, while the Rays sit just a game outside the top four.
Comets take complete control By Nick Creely FFV SOCCER WRAP REVIEW ROUND 8 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH-EAST The Casey Comets have breathed life into its season, crushing the bottom placed Mooroolbark SC 5-1 at Comets Stadium on Friday night. Coming into the game with just one win to their name, the pressure was on the Comets to put away a struggling Barkers’ side. And from the very first minute the Comets had control, with the Barkers unable to match the home side’s attacking game. Dejan Radojicic scored twice for the Comets in a commanding performance, one that lifted them back from the brink of disaster. In other matches from the round, Mornington drew 3-3 with Caulfield United, St Kilda SC defeated Clifton Hill 2-1, Malvern City found a way against Warragul United 2-1, Langwarrin drew with Manningham United Blues 1-1, and South Springvale got over the top of Morwell 1-0. STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH-EAST After having their home game postponed last week, Berwick City took on ladder leaders Mazenod United in an important game for both teams. It was Mazenod who started sharper and for the second time this season Berwick City again found themselves two goals down after only 15 minutes and looking down the barrel of their second defeat. City managed to get a goal back when the Mazenod keeper failed to deal with a shot from Jonathon Ichim and the ball fell perfectly for
his brother Ruben to fire home from close range. Going into the break 2-1 down, City still had a lot of work to do to get something out of the match. Despite dominating possession for large parts of the second half Berwick couldn’t find a way past the Mazenod defence. With the clock ticking down and just when the game seemed out of reach, it was Ruben Ichim again who popped up to score his second after a fierce shot from David Di Iorio was only partially saved by the keeper. Berwick kept pushing for a winner and it came with ten minutes to go when Alex Torelli scored with his first touch of the game to make it 3-2. “The boys fought hard today against good opposition and it was our first time playing on a synthetic pitch this year so it took us a while to get used to the different conditions,” Berwick coach Gerry McDonagh said post-match. “And despite being behind on the scoreboard for most of the day, we always felt we were in the game.” In other results, Doveton continues to dominate the competition and is now the clear ladder leaders, defeating Heatherton United 4-3. STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH Pakenham United keeps banging down the top four door after an excellent 2-0 victory over White Star Dandenong at IYU Recreation Reserve on Saturday. Despite the fact it was just the United’s second victory of the season among five draws and just the
Star Dandenong Rangers’ players Amelia Todhunter and new recruit Carley Mijovic have been named in the Australian squad for the upcoming FIBA 3x3 World Championships. The tournament, which will be held in France from 17 June to 21 June, will feature a further two WNBL players - Nadeen Payne (Bendigo) and Rebecca Cole (Melbourne Boomers). “The competition will be fierce but we know these players will equip themselves well in a format of the game that is gaining momentum as a high-performance pathway,” said Jan Stirling, General Manager of High Performance. “The selection process involved nominations from all WNBL club head coaches before a panel of current WNBL coaches with input from former Opals coach Carrie Graf identified the team.” Todhunter, 28, a defensive specialist, rose in the WNBL ranks last season with arguably her finest season, showing great tenacity around the court. Todhunter was a critical member of Larissa Anderson’s runners-up team, and is one of the rising stars of women’s basketball. Mijovic, 22, who has been around the WNBL courts for seven years with the Rangers, Canberra Capitals, Adelaide Lightning and then finally back to the Rangers, will add vital experience to the squad. Australia is currently ranked 19th in the world rankings, and will be hoping to finish higher than their quarter finals finish last year. The Australian 3x3 Open Women’s World Championship Schedule (all times AEST): 18 June: Australia v Ukraine at 1.20am 18 June: Australia v China at 2.50am 20 June: Australia v Japan at 2am 20 June: Australia v Netherlands at 4.50am 21 and 22 June: Quarter Finals at 10.50pm Gold Medal Game at 5am
Captain Funky takes the Eagles’ helm By Nick Creely Berwick City returned to the winners' list with an impressive Picture: ROB CAREW victory. 166493 one loss, they are only a couple of points away from third, an indication of their consistency. The United were untroubled throughout their clash with the struggling White Star, with Keegan Bloomfield and Garry Mousaco scoring a goal each. Bunyip is starting to get its season rolling, and have now jumped into ninth spot after crushing the winless Somerville 5-1. After starting the season struggling to adjust to state league life, they have found their mojo under experienced coach Rick Schelling. Drouin’s severe struggles have continued, going down 3-2 to Old Mentonians at Bellbird Park. The Dragons have now conceded
35 goals (most in the league) and scored two of their five goals for the season (least in the league) on Saturday. Improvement has been the theme for the Casey Panthers in recent weeks, and it continued with a 2-2 draw with the similarly placed Lyndale United. In a high quality contest at Prospect Hill, United took a 1-0 lead into half time, before two last half goals by the Panthers and one to United sealed the result. In other matches across the weekend, Rowville Eagles comfortably knocked off Chelsea FC 2-4, while Sandown Lions continue to dominate the competition, defeating Dandenong Warriors 3-2.
The Cranbourne Cricket Club has finally settled on its coaching structure for the 2017/18 season, re-appointing Steve ‘Funky’ Miller as coach of the Eagles. Joining Miller will be former coach Brett Lewis, who has been appointed as the club’s development coach, and returning assistant Tony Young. After initially advertising the coaching role, the club decided that the club great, who has taken a mountain of wickets throughout a stellar career, was the best fit for the direction of the Eagles going forward. The Eagles finished seventh in 2016/17 after a five-win season, in one of the tightest Turf 1 seasons in memory. It has already been a hectic off-season for the Eagles, who have seen legends Matt Chasemore and Steve Spoljaric defect to rival clubs, as well as promising keeper Jordan Cleland. Now that they have settled on the coaching structure, the Eagles will focus on trying to fill the gaping hole left by the three, with the main priority being to find the club’s next captain.

�� Reviews and news…
Skoda’s a sensible move By Derek Ogden If today’s sports utility vehicles are the winkle-pickers (Google it) of the automotive world, all-wheel drive wagons are the lace-up brogues - what your mother might call ‘sensible shoes’. For those with little history, think Sean Connery, rather than Johnny Depp - ruggedly handsome, against off-beat and quirky. The Skoda Octavia Scout is a perfect example of the former and always has been. Octavia Scout maintains the robust character of its predecessor. There’s no missing the bold Scout-only bumpers and added body protection. The radiator grille now carries the Scout badge. It’s longer than its predecessor, has a longer wheelbase and a shorter overhang to give it more rough road ability, and the ground clearance has been raised. The profile of the 225/50 R17 tyres on the 17-inch alloy wheels is higher, too. There are protective plastic covers for underbody components as well as the brakes and fuel lines. Increased exterior dimensions leave more space inside the cabin. Legroom in the rear has grown by 26mm. Elbow room has also increased significantly, as has shoulder space. Compared to the previous Scout, boot volume has grown by eight litres to 588 litres.
Folding down the rear seats boosts boot capacity to a remarkable 1718 litres, from 1620 litres. Using a drawbar, the rear backseats can be conveniently folded down from the boot. When the front passenger seat is folded down, items up to 2.92 metres long can be accommodated. The new Scout’s power tailgate swings open at the press of a button on the key fob, making loading convenient. The loading sill is a handy 667mm above ground, 5 mm lower than the in previous model. For the first time, the cargo compartment is fitted with a double-sided floor mat. For normal use, a high-quality carpet provides a look of prestige. Flipping the mat exposes a dirt and water repellent surface to carry muddy sports equipment or potted plants. A cargo fastener is a new optional feature allowing such items as boxes to be secured in the boot. The fastener can be stored in the boot’s side. The 135TDI test car, over the base 110TDI, benefits from an eight-inch touch screen and Columbus satellite navigation system with integrated audio including Bluetooth and streaming, USB, Aux and SD card slots and eight speakers. The new Scout 4x4 has advanced allwheel drive technology based on a fifthgeneration Haldex clutch and electronic

The Skoda Scout seeks out broader horizons with its latest range. differential lock. These contribute to optimum traction on slippery surfaces and excellent hill-start characteristics. For the first time, the Octavia Scout features a knee airbag for the driver as well as two rear side airbags. Nine airbags in interaction with three-point seat belts protect the occupants from injuries. The 135TDI features assistance systems such as Multi-Collision Brake and Fatigue Detection. The Multi-Collision Brake automatically slows the vehicle after a collision is detected, even if the driver no longer
presses the brake pedal, to avoid a further collision, or the speed at which any other collision may take place is reduced. Fatigue detection analyses the steering behaviour 15 minutes after the engine has been started and stores the result. In this time frame the driver must keep a speed of more than 65 km/h. A significant deviation from the characteristic steering behaviour will indicate fatigue of the driver, triggering a visual message in the cluster instrument - ‘fatigue detected - please take a break’. The 135 kilowatts of turbo-diesel engine mated to a six-speed DSG trans-
mission and all-wheel drive had the test car up to cruising speed with little effort and at a pleasantly quiet manner for an oil burner. Road noise was kept to a minimum, adding to a feeling of wellbeing for up to five occupants. The increased exterior dimensions and longer wheelbase made for spacious surroundings and a cargo area many sport utility vehicles of similar size could not match. Instruments were clear and concise and positioned to give the front seat passenger a share of the info available to the driver. The comprehensive range of controls, with a nod to Audi / VW, was intuitive, audio selection, for example, being summoned by the wave of a hand close to the eight-inch screen. Skoda claims fuel consumption of 5.3 litres per 100 kilometres and carbon dioxide emissions of 139g per kilometre for the 135TDI on the combined urban / highway cycle. Weight savings all round and the use of stronger steel have given the wagon an even more solid ride and improved handling.

All eyes are on this Audi By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Normally when I drive a new car into the townhouse complex where I live neighbours have a casual glance to see what car I’ve just picked up, then go back to whatever they had been doing. Not so with the bright red Audi A5 coupe - it stopped a five-way conversation, pulled all eyes in its direction and got folks wandering over to have a closer look and a chat. Audi continues to push hard in the Australian market, with its sights on BMW and Mercedes in every possible area of the new-car sales race. Audi A5 and S5 in two-door coupe format have just been joined by a fivedoor Sportback. A convertible will be introduced later in the year. The best news about the two coupe models is that prices have been cut by as much as $15,000 when compared equipment-to-equipment with superseded models. The body is all-new and is as sleek as ever, but now has a sharper, edgier look that ties in neatly with the new A4 range and, to a lesser extent, the recently launched Q2. A feature we really like is that the ‘third’ brake light extends almost the full width of the roof of the car. Not sure if it really grabs any more attention, but it sure looks good. Inside the new A5 range there’s the typical Audi attention to detail with quality materials and neat touches to the shaping of all areas. The central 8.3-inch touchscreen gives extensive access to the MMI system. It has navigation plus; Audi connect; LTE data transmission;
and wi-fi hotspot. Apple and Android smartphones are catered for. What Audi calls a ‘phone box’ provided the added convenience of inductive charging for smartphones. Power comes from significantly improved versions of the now superseded turbo-petrol and turbo-diesel engines. Audi A5 and S5 coupes are virtually A4 sedans with sports bodies. The latest coupes are slightly larger than in their previous generation and can carry four adults in reasonable comfort. However some sharing is needed if the driver and the occupant behind them are both tall. Handling is impressive, even in A5 not S5 format, with plenty of road grip thanks partly to the quattro all-wheeldrive system. We also sampled a front-drive model during the media launch of the pair of coupes in Tasmania a few months back and it’s no slouch in the handling department. Steering feel is too light for our tastes and there’s not as much feedback through the wheel as we prefer. Ride comfort is excellent when you consider these are sporty models and have plenty of road grip. The seats support well and these Audis make very good long distance tourers. Road noise can be obtrusive on dirt roads as well as on Australia’s notorious coarse-chip sealed roads. Other than that there’s a real feeling of serenity of the sort you don’t always get in sports coupes. All Australian imports of the new A5 have Audi’s virtual cockpit which gives the driver a choice between which instruments or readouts they
Big, bold and beautiful, the all-new Audi A5 coupe certainly grabs attention. want to focus on. It’s now included in the price of the A5. Naturally the S5 also gets it, this time with a choice of three displays, not the two in the A5. Audi’s latest A5 range will sell on style alone, it really is a stunner. However, there’s also plenty going for it in the powertrain department and road grip is impressive so it’s hard to see it not clawing its way a fair bit up the sales ladder. MODEL RANGE A5 2.0 TFSI S tronic two-door coupe: $69,900 A5 2.0 TDI quattro S tronic two-door coupe: $73,900 A5 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic two-door coupe: $81,500 S5 3.0 TFSI quattro S tronic two-door coupe: $105,800
