Teens in chase By Cam Lucadou-Wells Three teenagers were arrested after speeding in a stolen car at more than 180km/h, crashing into another car and nearly hitting a woman with a pram during a daylight police chase on Sunday 19 April. Victoria Police officers blocked the path of the white Audi about 11.50am in Cranbourne, police say. An officer used a baton to smash through the driver's side window. A second officer then sprayed OC foam at the driver. The driver allegedly escaped - speeding off at a fast speed through red lights and on the wrong side of the road, according to police. The Audi was later spotted in Dandenong South and followed by the police Air Wing. It drove a circuit through the back streets of Dandenong and Noble Park before travelling back outbound on the Monash Freeway from the Toorak Road exit. Police say they observed the car exit at Warrigal Road, driving at high speeds and on the wrong side of the road. The Audi allegedly crashed into another vehicle at traffic lights, nearly hit a woman pushing a pram and drove on. Police deployed stop sticks and engaged in a pursuit. The Audi continued speeding at more than 180 km/h on its rims in the Monash Freeway emergency lane, police say. Police at that stage terminated the pursuit due to the Audi's driver being allegedly unable to control the vehicle. The Audi was reportedly driven into a ditch on Stud Road, Dandenong. The three 16-year-old youths fled on foot and were ar-
rested nearby. All three were charged with car theft and refusing to comply with Covid-19 directions. The teen who drove away in Cranbourne was also charged with dangerous driving, reckless conduct endangering life, failing to stop on police request and drug possession. A second teen was charged as the driver during the Warrigal Road and Monash Freeway incidents, and will face offences such as dangerous driving whilst pursued by police, reckless conduct endangering life, failing to stop on police request, drug possession and committing an indictable offence on bail. The third youth was also charged with cannabis possession and committing an indictable offence on bail. The trio were all on bail and youth supervision orders at the time, police say. They have been remanded in custody to appear at a children's court.
A different Anzac Day, but not one to be forgotten By Brendan Rees This year's Anzac Day was like no other due to stay-at-home restrictions - but the nation rose to honour the fallen by standing quietly in their driveways, glowing with candles as flames of remembrance flickered into the still night air.

Crash: Police raid homes By Brendan Rees Victoria Police have raided properties linked to a refrigeration chicken company after a truck driver of Cranbourne allegedly mowed down four police officers in a horror crash. At a press conference on Monday 27 April, Assistant Commissioner Libby Murphy said the Major Collision Investigation Unit had executed search warrants at residential addresses in Frankston and Croydon - with "people associated" with the trucking company, Connect Logistics. The company logo was on the side of the truck at the time it was allegedly involved in the fatal crash on the Eastern Freeway in Kew on Wednesday evening, 22 April. The raids come as the truck driver, 47-yearold Mohinder Singh of Cranbourne, who was allegedly behind the wheel of a semi-trailer when it veered across multiple lanes and into the four officers on the Eastern Freeway, was charged with four counts of culpable driving an offence which carries a maximum 20-year jail term. He faced the Melbourne Magistrate's Court on Monday 27 April. He did not apply for bail and was remanded to appear at the next hearing in October. Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, Senior Constable Kevin King, Constable Glen Humphris and Constable Josh Prestney died when a truck crashed into them while they were dealing with a Porsche driver in the emergency lane of the freeway. It's believed Mr Singh didn't sustain any injuries but had spent four nights at the Royal Melbourne Hospital under police guard after reportedly suffering a medical episode. Last week, Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said it had appeared the truck had moved from a freeway lane into the emergency lane a "short distance" before the crash, adding it was "too early" to say if the truck driver's actions were deliberate.

"I don't want to take it away from the four people because each of those place members had someone who truly loved them within the organisation ... they meant a lot to their families quite clearly and for us it's been quite tragic."
Detectives from the Homicide Squad and Major Collision Investigation Unit are investigating. Ms Murphy did not rule out the possibility of more charges being laid on Mr Singh. She said Victoria Police were "very grateful" for those who had stopped and helped at the scene and was overwhelmed by the community's outpouring of tributes. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
Meanwhile, Ms Murphy told reporters she could not provide specifics on what had been seized during the raids, saying: "I'm sorry, I don't have that information but it's not unusual for documents and that sort of stuff to be seized." Last week, police raided Mr Singh's home but have also yet to reveal what they found. Ms Murphy appealed to witnesses or those with dashcam footage of the Volvo prime mover, registered in Queensland with plates
Sanctuary’s where endangered bird spreads its wings A thriving captive-breeding program at Pearcedale's Moonlit Sanctuary has led to one of Australia's most threatened bird species being released into the wild - as part of a State Government trial. Critically endangered Orange-bellied parrots have been released into the wild, as part of a $200,000 trial funded by the Victorian Government to save the species from extinction. With less than 50 adult Orange-bellied parrots remaining in the wild, the four-year Mainland Release Trial aims to increase the size of the birds' population in conjunction with increasing their survival in the wild. This year's trial has seen 27 Orange-bellied parrots released after being captive-bred and prepared for the wild by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Zoos Victoria and Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park.
The release locations were the Spit Nature Conservation Reserve near Werribee's Western Treatment Plant and a private property in Pearcedale near North Western Port Coastal Reserve. Moonlit Sanctuary has also undertaken pre-release training for the birds being released near North Western Port, with the hope of developing new techniques to support successful releases for this species. For the first time, some of the released birds have been satellite tagged to help provide more information about where and when the parrots travel. The Orange-bellied parrot is a migratory species, and each year makes a round trip across the rough oceans of the Bass Strait between south-west Tasmania and mainland Australia. All staff involved have adhered to appropri-
ate physical distancing and hygiene requirements to ensure safety. The trial aims to establish flocks of released parrots in suitable habitats in Victoria - to attract migrating birds to these sites and provide those migrants a better chance of surviving the autumn and winter period. This year's release also coincides with the largest number of parrots migrating north from Tasmania for over a decade. A successful breeding season, teamed with the largest ever release of juveniles at the breeding site, has resulted in over 100 Orangebellied parrots believed to be flying north. Moonlit Sanctuary has temporarily closed its gates to the public as a precaution against the Covid-19 outbreak, however, staff will continue their wildlife conservation work.

Residents in uproar as persistent hoons tear up roads By Brendan Rees Fed-up Pearcedale residents say it's just a matter of time before a hoon driver loses control of their car and seriously injures or kills someone. Residents have started a petition, which has garnered 339 signatures, calling on Casey Council and VicRoads to take urgent action and save their coastal village. Intersections of most concern to residents include Smith's Lane and Baxter-Tooradin Road; Pearcedale Rd and Baxter-Tooradin Rd Roundabout, and all surrounding roundabouts. "Often, our roundabouts are ripped up from cars doing burnouts and drifting which puts the safety of our community at risk," the change.org petition says.

Pearcedale residents says a number of intersections are being torn up by hoons. shell grip surfaces to be installed to stop hoons "drifting on the grass and around our roundabouts". The Department of Transport (DoT) says the State Government is currently upgrading Baxter-Tooradin Road between Fisheries Road and South Gippsland Highway, near Devon Meadows. Works include installing barriers on the side of the road and centre median, extending
existing barriers along the highway between Manks Road and Bass Highway. DoT contends these works will fill in the gaps, providing continuous barriers between Craig Road to the Bass Highway in Lang Lang.It is part of the Victorian Government's $36.6 million package of works to boost safety at four sites across the south-east. These locations include the Western Port Highway from Lynbrook to Langwarrin, the South Gippsland Highway from Devon Meadows to Lang Lang, and the Princes Highway from Pakenham to Longwarry North. "Safety is always our number one priority - if you see someone acting dangerously on our road, report it to Victoria Police," a DoT spokesperson said. "We've already started making BaxterTooradin Road safer near the South Gippsland Highway, and we will continue to work with the community and make assessments about any future improvements." Meanwhile, Casey Council's manager of city and asset planning Keri New said while
Smiths Lane and Pearcedale Road fell under its jurisdiction, Baxter Tooradin Road was an arterial road managed by the State Government. "Therefore, the roundabouts at the intersection of Pearcedale Road/Baxter Tooradin Road and Smiths Lane/Baxter Tooradin Road are the responsibility of the Department of Transport," she said. "Any upgrade of these intersections is a matter for Department of Transport, however, with the safety of our residents always front of mind, council would support any proposed measures that increase driver safety." Casey Council says according to the State Government's road crash statistics database, in the five-year period to 30 June 2019 there has been two reported incidents at the intersection of Smiths Lane and Baxter-Tooradin Road and one reported collision at the intersection of Pearcedale Road and Baxter-Tooradin Road. However, according to the Department of Transport data, in the past 12 months, there had been three crashes at the Pearcedale Road and Baxter-Tooradin Road intersection. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Covid-19 curve flat By Brendan Rees The rate of the Covid-19 infection in Casey City appears to have slowed, with no new cases reported for days, according to the state's latest health data. The Victoria's Department of Health and Human Services figures showed, Casey's tally remained at 53 - a statistic which had remained unchanged for the past nine days, as of 29 April.However, across the state, one new death reported in the 24 hours to Tuesday 28 April, a woman in her 80s who was in hospital, bringing the state's death toll to 18. The total number of Covid-19 cases in Victoria stands at 1354 - which is made up of 701 men and 653 women, with people aged from babies to their early nineties. There are 139 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Victoria that may have been acquired through community transmission. Currently 18 people are in hospital, including nine patients in intensive care. So far, 1,287
people have recovered. In other parts of the southeast, cases in Greater Dandenong had remained unchanged for the past week with 14 confirmed cases and 13 in Cardinia. Premier Daniel Andrews said Victorians had done a "remarkable job" sticking to stayat-home restrictions, but urged everyone to with the mildest respiratory to get tested for Covid-19 as part of the State Government's aim to test 100,000 people over the next fortnight. The massive expansion of testing, he said, would help inform decisions about slowly lifting restrictions ahead of the State of Emergency being reviewed on 11 May. The testing blitz will be carried out through a combination of drive-through and walk-up clinics, as well as new mobile screening clinics to visit homes and workplaces. More than 104,000 Victorians have been tested to date. There are already 43 specialist sites across Victoria where testing can be
undertaken, with more testing clinics to be opened during the week in regional and rural areas. According to Victoria's Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton, people with common symptoms of coronavirus including fever, chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or loss of sense of smell are encouraged to get tested. "Our daily case numbers are still low which is encouraging. They prove that our physical distancing measures are working but this is not a time to relax our strong approach - this disease can get away from you very quickly as we have seen overseas," he said. Meanwhile, Victoria Police officers reported fining 53 flouting social distancing rules in the 24 hours to Wednesday 29 April. This included six males gathering at a school car park, five people in a car together having lunch, and multiple people committing criminal offences, including burglary, theft and drug related offences.
Local artist hits the national spotlight By Brendan Rees A Melbourne artist has expressed her excitement after her work was featured in a Cranbourne renovation during an episode of House Rules recently. "When Nancy from Art Lovers Australia called me late one evening with the exciting news my work had been chosen, we both giggled excitedly as the contestants had asked to split my painting into a diptych, and I had titled it 'Can't be broken'," Fern Siebler , a selftaught artist, said. Her artwork aired on Sunday 20 March as part of the renovation by contestants Lenore and Bradley for local Cranbourne couple Kayne and Aimee's home - which was the opportunity of a lifetime for Fern to launch her work in the national spotlight. The Channel 7 series, this year called House Rules: High Stakes, is the first to feature a partnership with Art Lovers Australia - bringing home grown Australian artists into the picture with a focus on original work that is selected as the centrepiece of each renovation. The artwork is an expressive abstract with a composition of soft earthy pinks and greens amongst bold black and grey, balanced with Fern's signature sparkling gold detailing. Fern, who grew up in the regional Victorian town of Taggerty and now lives in Eltham, says the painting has a very special and deep meaning which "were inspired by strength." "Even when we might have things happen to us that are bad, we can't be broken," she says. "I'm a true believer that if we fall, we rise stronger than before. We are filled with more knowledge, self-love and strength than before whatever it was that happened, and for that we will be forever more filled with love and gratitude. This is powerful." Fern, a trained graphic designer, says now more than ever it is important for people to

Great-uncle who ‘gave his all’ honoured By Brendan Rees Ron ‘Buck’ Taylor was a 24-year-old leading seaman when his ship, the HMAS Yarra II, came under attack by Japanese warships in 1942. “Ron was the last sailor still firing the only operable four-inch gun even after the abandon ship order was given,” says his great nephew, Garry Taylor of Cranbourne East, who paid tribute to his memory on Anzac Day. “Sadly, Ron like many of his other shipmates went down with the ship.” Today, Mr Taylor, heads a national memorial committee for the HMAS Yarra II, which, after 75 years, received the only unit citation of gallantry in Australian naval history.

Police responded to a collision between a tractor and a car in Devon Meadows on Tuesday morning, 28 April. The tractor, which was towing a trailer, flipped on its side in the crash near the corner of the South Gippsland Highway and North Road about 6.30am. There were no injuries and the intersection was re-opened to traffic several hours later. Firefighters from Tooradin fire brigade also attended the scene.

On the 25th of April every year my family and I participate in Anzac Day ceremonies, although this year presented a great challenge, we were determined to do our bit by participating in a dawn service from our driveway. We flicked the television onto the ABC and watched their coverage of the dawn service from the Australian War Memorial in Canberra before heading out to our driveway, where we held candles and participated in a minute silence to remember those who fought bravely and sacrificed themselves for our freedom today. Anzac day to my family has a pretty significant meaning, with many family members participating in wars throughout the last century. But none are more interesting on a personal level to me, as the story of my great great-uncle Private Leslie Joseph Fairbrother who was a member of the 2/21st Australian Infantry Battalion. Unfortunately, Leslie died on the 24th of April 1944 whilst serving in Ambon and his name is located at Panel 46 in the commemorative area at the Australian War Memorial, which my family has been lucky enough to go and visit. I believe that this year’s Anzac Day celebration offered a new way to participate in Anzac Day, as some people are unable to attend dawn services or marches throughout the day, they can continue to pay their respects this way, and it my hope that this will be the beginning of greater participation by all Australians in marking this very significant day.

Anzac with a difference By Brendan Rees Flames from their candles flickered into the crisp, still morning air as they gathered quietly in driveways, some still in their pyjamas, to pay their respects. In a moving display of solidarity, families participated in their own dawn services on Anzac Day as the coronavirus halted decades of tradition. This year's Anzac Day certainly looked different but one not to be forgotten. There were no dawn services. No gatherings. No beers or rowdy games of two-up; nor was there veterans' marches where children would normally wave their flags from footpaths and be eager to learn about the Anzac spirit - after stay-athome restrictions forced RSLs to cancel the ceremonies. Like many, Bill Shepherd, senior vice-president of the Dandenong Cranbourne RSL subbranch, took to his Botanic Ridge driveway just before daybreak with his wife Joan beside him, proudly wearing his medals pinned to his RSL jacket, in the 'Light up the Dawn' movement - an initiative introduced by the Victoria RSL this year to honour our servicemen and women, both past and present. "It was great to see so many families out in their driveways with candles and tributes in hand," he said. "So many had poppies in their front gardens made by children. I think this might start a new tradition, as many of these people might go to a future dawn service, and others may have one in their own street, like this year. We met people in our street that we have not spoken to before." For Chris McKenna, secretary of the Berwick RSL, his day consisted of laying a wreath at 6am at the Bunjil Place cenotaph and later at the High Street cenotaph in Berwick as well as reciting the Ode - in a "simple little gesture" - to honour the fallen.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED The Australian flag on High Street was also lowered to half-mast during the morning as a mark of respect. "The 'Light up the Dawn' was pretty special just from watching it on the news that night. I think that was a noble gesture on everyone's behalf," Mr McKenna said. Mr McKenna, a 38-year-veteran of the Australian Army's Royal Australian Engineers Corp, said it was sad not being able to catch up with mates on Anzac Day but was most "humbled" by the community in doing their bit to pay their respects - including laying a wreath at various war memorials. "A few people drove past and tooted their
horns; as proxy as it might sound, a noble gesture," he said, referring to the High Street cenotaph. The owner and staff of Tilly's cafe at Berwick Marketplace made little Anzac lanterns out of the bottoms of milk containers and gave the proceeds to Berwick RSL, raising more than $1000. President of the Berwick RSL, Wayne A'vard, said despite this year's different format of Anzac Day, the community's willingness to adapt to the coronavirus restrictions was "absolutely magnificent". "It's just wonderful to see."

Club is fighting on By Brendan Rees For Matthew Charles, live streaming his martial arts classes has been a "huge learning experience for everybody". After being forced to temporarily close its doors to prevent the spread of Covid-19, Mr Charles' club, Casey Elite Martial Arts in Cranbourne, has been doing its best in adapting to the trend of delivering online classes. "It just adds that whole new dimension, everyone's got a different perspective on how they teach ... it just gives that broader range," Mr Charles, a world renowned shihan instructor, said. He said when the club initially used Zoom, an online conference tool, class attendance was small as "everyone had to be there at the right time". "Everybody's timetable has been turned upside down," he said, following coronavirus restrictions. But numbers have increased via its Facebook page with six classes being offered each day ranging from karate, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, yoga, women's self-defence, box fit as well as kid's and 'kinder ninja' classes. Although Mr Charles admits the new for-

Mr Charles said while the benefits of physical training were vital for people bunkered down at home during the crisis, the club believed checking in with one another's wellbeing and mental health was also crucial. "We've had a few Zoom conferences just for teenagers of all the programs just to sit down and talk, how you're coping with things, what are doing, what's going on with school, what strategies are kids using to keep themselves occupied." There was also an "absolutely overwhelming response", he said, when the club put out a call for members to post their short and long term goals.

Couple’s shock at attack By Brendan Rees A Cranbourne West couple had been playing fetch with their 10-year-old kelpie at a reserve when another dog ran over and locked its jaws on their beloved pet. The shocked couple, who asked not to be named, say their dog was attacked by what they believe to be a pit bull - who had also turned on its owner by biting him on the hand after he had been "frantically kicking" it to release its hold. The couple had been throwing a ball with their dog named Tarni while she was off her leash at Cirai Crescent Reserve when the dog bolted towards them - about 5pm on Tuesday 21 April. The couple say they had seen the pit bull "misbehaving" at reserve while in the company of what appeared to be two teenage girls and a man. "Suddenly, we were aware of the pit bull running towards us," the couple said. "It latched on to Tarni's neck straight away; there was no sniffing of each other at all. "I shouted to the male 'the collar's not tight enough'. Sure enough it slipped it again and tried for a second time to reach and attack Tarni," they added, while Tarni was being held in their arms. Tarni was rushed to the vet by the owner while his partner stayed at the reserve to obtain the other owner's details. The vet told him that Tarni had suffered a puncture wound under her left ear to the side of her neck. She was treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and a pain killing injection. Meanwhile, his partner, who had approached the owner of the pit bull and his family - who had arrived shortly after at the reserve - said she had "pointed out to the family the intent of their dog again." At this point she was told the dog belonged

Casey Council manager of safer communities Caroline Bell said: "Investigators are currently speaking to all parties involved as part of the investigation". Anyone with information is urged to contact Casey Council on 9705 5200.

Casey eyes its culture By Andrew Cantwell
Radical ‘hands-off’ change to Casey planning process By Andrew Cantwell The City of Casey wants no repeat of the issues that sparked an IBAC inquiry and led to the dismissal of its elected council by the State Government, and has moved to radically reform its planning policies and procedures. New councillors, when elected in 2024, will have no doubt as to their hands-off role in the new planning process. Under a new policy adopted by interim administrator Noelene Duff, council planners will determine most day-to-day applications under delegated powers. Planners will also have the power to reject applications which don’t meet “strategic policy or statutory requirements”. Councillors will have the responsibility to set ‘vision, policy and direction’ and will only be involved directly in a planning matter if there are more than 20 objections.
Direct dealings with developers will also be discouraged, and any contacts reported under the strict policy. Instead, councillors will need to direct inquiries to council planning staff or the council website. Councillors will also be forbidden from ‘lending support’ or advocating for or against developments. They must also approach any planning matters that come to the council chamber with an open mind, having regard only to the planning issues involved. The moves are designed to have councillors recognise their arms-length role as both a ‘local planning authority’ and a ‘responsible authority’, charged with making responsible and impartial decisions under State planning law. The new policy will help bring certainty and clarity to residents and developers - and to new councillors in the times ahead.
While the world’s attention has been turned to matters of survival in the Covid-19 pandemic, the Casey Council has been hard at work on matters of revival, assessing changes to its operations in the post-councillor period. The administration has in the past two months taken a good hard look at itself ... under the watchful eye of interim administrator Noelene Duff. At the council’s meeting on 7 April, Ms Duff considered an audit report on Casey’s operations in relation to eight ‘pillars of good governance’, developed during the administration period of the City of Greater Geelong. The comprehensive audit considered 52 different aspect of operations under eight broad categories: direction and leadership; culture and behaviour; structure, systems and policies; decision making; communication and community engagement; capability; risk and compliance; and monitoring and review. From these, 12 areas have been identified in an action plan for further improvement in a process to be undertaken in the second half of this year and into next year. Regular reports will come back to the public council meeting under the administrator. As part of the audit, councillor obligations were also assessed against 12 criteria developed under a Local Government Monitor’s oversight of the Wimmera Shire Council in 2018. Casey found itself compliant in eight of those 12 areas, and partially compliant in the
Interim Casey administrator Noelene Duff. others. There were no areas of non-compliance. Those areas of partial compliance will also be reviewed over successive months. The work is being undertaken to reinforce rigorous integrity and accountability structures in Casey for the return of councillors in elections in 2024. 12433396-CG48-19

Council’s Covid help Casey Council is continuing to support the community to manage the far-reaching effects of the coronavirus pandemic with a range of social and economic support measures. To date, nearly $41,000 has been provided to 16 community organisations through Casey's quick response grants program, with payments fast-tracked to ensure organisations receive their funding as soon as possible. This funding has supported a range of organisations to purchase essential items such as: Food containers, kitchen equipment and other essential supplies to support emergency relief food provision Safety/protective equipment for volunteers involved in service delivery Activity packs for children whose family have limited access to online activities and resources Fuel vouchers for volunteers delivering meals to vulnerable residents Food and personal items for vulnerable clients Mobile phones and data to assist staff to deliver over the phone services to vulnerable clients Casey Council interim administrator Noelene Duff said in addition to community grants, council had also helped facilitate food parcels, provided rate relief, waived and reduced some permit fees and provided additional assistance to businesses and community groups to help them cope during these unprecedented times. "Many of our teams have also been identifying opportunities for appropriately trained and skilled Council employees to contribute to the direct delivery of community services to meet expected increase in demand. For example, redeployed council staff have been delivering meals on wheels and community transport, services which are usually provided by volunteers," Ms Duff said. "While many changes have occurred across the community due to the Coronavirus epidemic, Casey Council is continuing to find ways to enable continued service delivery and resident support." Examples of Council's community support and response initiatives include: More support for community and sporting organisations The Grants Team has been working with community organisations to identify specialised non-council grant funding opportunities and assisting with the preparation of grant applications. Assistance for community organisations to enable continued emergency and food relief by helping them to recruit volunteers through the Volunteer Matcher Program. The Community Care team is undertaking regular phone check-ins and monitoring of current Community Care clients who receive our services. The Public Health Team has changed the syringe container exchange program, now delivering empty containers directly to homes that need them. The Leisure Facilities Team has been working with council's contract provider (YMCA) to provide free access for members to online fitness platforms. They have also provided access to an activity workbook so our Learn to Swim families can maintain aquatic education. Sports grounds and building maintenance charges have been waived for the duration of the winter 2020 season. In addition, a credit of $20.00 per pavilion, per month, is being provided for the duration of the COVID-19 restrictions. This is to assist with the cost of electricity associated with the continued running of security lights, alarms and security cameras. Relief for rates and other charges Where possible, we are providing flexibility for rates payments to affected customers. Anyone unable to meet their payment by the due date is encouraged to contact Council as soon as possible to make arrangements and discuss potential relief options. Interest on

Introducing new streamlined payment terms to support our suppliers, including suspending our usual 30-day payment terms and committing to paying our invoices (where purchase orders are in place) within ten business days of receipt of goods and services. Casey Council CEO Glenn Patterson said Covid-19 was having a significant impact on the community and in turn on the City of Casey. "We are working hard to find a balance between financial sustainability to see us through this pandemic for the long-term benefit of the Casey community, while also being able to be kind and responsive to the pressures our residents are facing every day," he said. "As an organisation we are proactively meeting and monitoring the situation daily to make considered decisions and identify ways we can provide further support to our community."For more information on the ways Council is assisting our community during these tough times, or to find out what resources and support are available for you visit our Coronavirus page.

JobKeeper is a big help. Now, let’s help each other! Dear readers, The federal government has implemented the largest ever business support package in our nation’s history. It’s a big help. If JobKeeper helps you and your family, the best thing you can do to help yourself and other local families is SHOP LOCAL! Buying locally has an amazingly positive multiplier effect on the local community because your money keeps being reinvested by other local businesses and employees. It works like this. When you spend money (think JobKeeper, JobSeeker or other) you have a choice – you can either spend with a locally-owned business or with businesses owned outside the local area, via the internet or with multinationals. When you shop from out of town, your money leaves the local community and never returns. Gone, forever. But when you SHOP LOCAL, your money will be spent again – and again – and if we all do it, again - and again… in our LOCAL COMMUNITY. This is how we help our community stay strong. Let’s help each other with the government’s help from JobKeeper. For 110 years, the Star News Group has been proudly locally owned and we’re 100% committed to doing everything we can to support our local community. Please stay safe, and shop local.
Regards,

prepared pan and using the back of a spoon or a straight-sided glass, spread and press the biscuit mixture firmly over the base. Refrigerate it for 30 minutes to set. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan-forced. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until the mixture is smooth. Beat in the sour cream and flour. Once combined, start to add the eggs one at a time. Continue to beat the mixture until all is combined. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Bake the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour or until almost set in the centre and turn the oven off. Leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar until it has cooled as this will prevent the cake from cracking. Refrigerate it overnight. To make the Berry Compote, place the caster sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a frying pan and bring it to the boil while swirling the mixture occasionally. Continue this for 2-3 minutes or until the syrup thickens and reduces. Add the strawberries and gently stir to coat them in the syrup. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the syrup turns pale pink and the strawberries are slightly warmed through (do not overcook). Remove the Berry Compote from the heat and stir in the raspberries. Set the mixture aside to cool. To serve, remove the cheesecake from the pan and decorate the top with the berry compote and edible flowers.
To serve Fresh raspberries Yoghurt Honey Method 1. Place the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, egg yolks, milk and vanilla into a large bowl and whisk to combine. 2. Place the egg whites into a clean bowl of an electric mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. 3. In two batches, add the egg whites to the batter and gently fold to combine. 4. Gently fold through the raspberries and pear. 5. Heat a non-stick fry pan over low-medium heat and grease with a little butter. Ladle 1/4 cup measurements of the batter onto the fry pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the pancake. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or two, or until the pancakes are golden and bounce back when touched.
6. Place the cooked pancakes onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and continue frying until no batter remains. 7. Serve pancakes with fresh raspberries, dollop of yoghurt and drizzle of honey. Tip: Pancakes are freezer friendly once cooled.
SWEET POTATO WAFFLES WITH EGGS AND AVOCADO Cook & prep: 35 mins Serves: 4 Ingredients 1 ½ cups firmly packed grated sweet potato 1 cup milk 1 ½ cups wholemeal self-raising flour 2 eggs, separated 50g fetta, crumbled 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil 4 extra eggs 1 cup baby spinach leaves 1 avocado ¼ cup toasted pepitas Harissa yoghurt ½ cup Greek yoghurt 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 teaspoons harissa paste Method 1.

Remote learning lessons By Tim Newcomb, St Francis Xavier vice-principal St Francis Xavier was well prepared when the Premier of Victoria announced that all schools would be in remote learning mode at the beginning of Term 2. The development of the college’s Digital Learning Program over the last 5 years has seen all students use a college provided laptop in order to leverage digital technology to enhance student achievement. Alongside the provision of the device, students and teachers have been developing their skills in how to use a new college intranet - SIMON, Microsoft TEAMS and OneNote along with other software. Early in 2020 the college began to plan its remote learning model in readiness for the possibility of requiring it this year. This planning involved teacher leaders planning an effective remote learning model to be facilitated by the college’s Digital Learning Program. The St Francis Xavier College Remote Learning Program aims to: maintain student safety facilitate student engagement in the learning program support student wellbeing facilitate student achievement continue to build expert teacher practice continue to realise the college Game Plan foster a culture of collaboration Presentations were made to staff, students and parents in the second half of Term 1 to prepare for the likelihood of remote learning. Staff participated in further digital technology training and students were offered a message by the college Captains to reassure them that their learning would continue, and they offered advice on how students can look after their health and wellbeing if learning from home.
· · · · · · ·
The St Francis Xavier College remote learning program includes: weekly classwork which is reviewed by the teacher, and reported to students and parents students engaged in a combination of live lessons and independent and collaborative learning activities the use of digital technology for purposes including: collaborating Communication preparing videos presenting information video conferencing providing learning adjustments to support students with disabilities and other needs, to ensure we provide an inclusive remote learning program particular attention on the Year 12 learning program daily wellbeing check ins and attendance monitoring daily student messages including prayer, exercise, health and wellbeing advice the provision of wellbeing support services a focus on Child Safety and online safety
· ·
· · · · · · · · · · · ·
After two weeks of remote learning, there have been many positive outcomes already. This is new to everyone, however the college is very positive about the experience with teachers and students learning together. Teachers are collaborating with each other and engaging in daily videoconferencing to reflect upon their practice as teachers during remote learning. We are proud of the efforts of our students, teachers, support staff and parents as we provide a remote learning program which facilitates student achievement.

Hallam and Beaconsfield product, and former Dandenong Stingrays and St Kilda footballer, Arryn Siposs signed with Detroit in the NFL.
Pictures: COURTESY OF TODD VAN EMST/AU ATHLETICS
Dreams made in America By sports editor Russell Bennett Arryn Siposs was still in his early 20s when he was delisted by St Kilda, and now he's about to start a whole new chapter of his professional sporting career - with the Detroit Lions in the NFL. In 2015, the Hallam and Beaconsfield product had played 28 games since making his AFL debut in 2011, and the last thing he wanted to do was give up on his dream of forging a lasting professional football career. Little did the former Dandenong Stingray know the opportunities that would await him in a different football code entirely. Long known for his booming kick, Siposs now has the chance of a lifetime in the NFL after an eye-catching punting stint at US collegiate powerhouse, the Auburn Tigers. He made international headlines last November after a stunning play in the 'Iron Bowl' against Alabama, which netted the Tigers a stunning 48-45 win - one of the most famous triumphs in the history of their illustrious program. Siposs, who was still in Auburn as the NFL draft was held, explained the incredible turn of events that led to him and Tigers quarterback Bo Nix embracing in the middle of the stadium following the heart-stopping win. "It was something we practiced going into the game," he said. "Alabama had a really good punt and kickoff returner so we had to come up with a plan to keep him off the field. "Our plan originally was for me to line up in the wide receiver position and then swap with the quarterback (Nix) and then get the ball snapped to me and I would punt it. "We hoped that Alabama's defence would be on the field and their returner wouldn't be. In the end, we confused them and they had 12 players on the field, which resulted in us keeping the football and winning the game." It also led to a famous post-match outburst 18 STAR NEWS

Siposs in action for the Auburn Tigers. from Nick Saban - one of the biggest name coaches in US football history - and caused headlines right across the world. It's a far cry from Siposs' VFL stint with Williamstown when he was searching for a way back into the AFL. "After my time was finished at St Kilda, I still thought I could play in the AFL," he said. "I was 22 at the time and wanted to get back into the AFL, so I signed with Williamstown. I thought this would give me the best opportunity to get back in. "I was in my second year there but I saw how well other guys were going (punting) in the college system in America and thought I could do the same thing, so I contacted (Australian former NFL punter) Nathan Chapman
at Prokick and went down for a training session. He told me I could do it, and maybe even get to the NFL." Siposs ultimately declared for this year's draft still with a season of eligibility left at Auburn. While he ultimately went undrafted, his decision reaped serious rewards as he signed with the Lions soon after - with a chance to compete for their starting punting spot. For him, the time to make his new dream a reality is now. "I didn't expect this to happen in my wildest dreams," Siposs admitted. "It has been an amazing journey so far and it really is just the beginning of it. "I just wanted to play AFL for 10 to 12 years and have a great career doing that, but that didn't work out, so having the opportunity to do this is amazing and hopefully I can have decent career in the NFL." After playing in front of sparse crowds for St Kilda against the likes of the Gold Coast in the cavernous Marvel Stadium during his AFL days, and then getting back to a real community footy feel at the VFL, Siposs has regularly stepped on to the field in front of more than 90,000 people so far in his US football odyssey. "It has been an awesome experience to be able to do that," he said. "I am very lucky to be able to go out each and every week and play in front 90,000. It is something I will never forget." But when Siposs first introduced himself at Prokick, he knew next to nothing about college football and everything it entails. "I didn't really know much about college football if I'm honest, but Chappy said I had the capabilities of playing at a top 10 school," Siposs explained. "I had been training for a few months at Prokick and Chappy had been speaking to Auburn because they were in need of a punter." From there, Siposs sent footage of himself in action to the coaches at Auburn, which led
to a scholarship offer and the start of a whole new chapter. "Participating in the biggest rivalry in college football is something I will never forget," he said of the Iron Bowl. "The rivalry is real - these teams hate each other - and it's a huge occasion if you win that game. The 2019 game was incredible, it is honestly the best game I have played in and something I will never forget. " Siposs paid tribute to his Auburn team mates and everything he learnt from them in his time with the Tigers, and also spoke about just how much of an impact Chapman has had on his new career to this point. "He's been the biggest influence on my punting career so far," Siposs said. "He knows his stuff and he will always be the guy I turn to for advice to improve my game." And Siposs has also been in contact with a number of other Australian punters - some hopeful of making it to the NFL, and others already on the biggest stage - to sound out their advice. "I speak to a few guys including (Bunyip product and former Gippsland Power player) Dane Roy to see how they are all going at their college, and since declaring for the draft I've reached out to Michael Dickson (the Seattle Seahawks' Aussie punter), Mitch Wishnowsky (San Francisco 49ers), Jordan Berry (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Cameron Johnston (Philadelphia Eagles) just for some advice on what the process is like, and what to expect. "This has helped me out so much, and I feel prepared for what comes next." And what comes next will be Siposs' most exciting chapter of all. He knows the pressure of executing in big moments in front of monster crowds - now he wants the chance to show how he can shine on the biggest stage of them all. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

He’s blitzing the field By Jason Adams Pearcedale trainer David Crawford is on the verge of a period of real success after the promising 'He Shall Blitz' took out the Maiden final at the Sandown Park greyhounds on Friday night. He Shall Blitz began cleanly and soon settled on the tail of early leader Wise Thunder. He took control in the home straight and highlighted his strength to win by two-and-a-half lengths. "Obviously Jamie's (Ennis-trained Koko Kardash) was the fastest in the race, but I did give him a chance even though he can be a bit tardy early," Crawford said. Crawford's run throughout April has been particularly hot so far. His team has had 17 starts and finished out of the placings in just four of those. It looks to be a strike rate that may remain consistent for 2020. He Shall Blitz is one of three from his litter who have made a start to their racing careers, and so far they've combined for 35 starts with nine wins and 12 placings. "They've always been able to run time on their own, especially that one (Blitz). I'm hoping they'll eventually race over 600 or even 700 metres. Their mother (Shall She Rock) was a good stayer and their sire (Dundee Osprey) could stay too." He said having raced the mother and seen the litter grow, it does make success more satisfying. "I had them in my hand when they were pups, it is pretty special," Crawford explained. "I don't have as many (greyhounds) as I used to, I only intend on breeding one litter a year. My wife wants to go travelling but I like being with the dogs. I've had a crook leg for a while and they keep me moving."
He Shall Blitz was outstanding at Sandown Park on Friday night.

17. WHICH boxer won both the Australian middleweight and heavyweight titles in the 1970s?
Tauwitchere made it five wins in a row at Sandown Park on Sunday night and a step up to the 715-metre trip is on the cards. Sent to the boxes an unbackable $1.04 favourite, she began well but was forced to work hard early with Come On Eleanor pouring on the early pressure. However, the 2018 Launching Pad winner proved too strong in the concluding stages, powering to the line to win by four-and-a-half lengths in 33.23. The win has continued her resurgence as one of the sport’s top staying prospects. Since stepping back up to the middle distance at The Meadows on 4 April, Tauwitchere has not been headed in any of her four starts and has won by a combined margin of 18 lengths. “She’s going real good at the moment, she’s got that spark back again and is flying the lids,” said her very happy trainer, Steve White. “About 10 starts ago she didn’t have it.
She was hitting a flat spot but she’s turned it around after I gave them all three to four weeks off while that canine virus was going around. She’s come back and is going really good.” The win was her third in as many starts over the distance since January, and while it wasn’t the fastest time she’s recorded, the manner of the victory gives White confidence as he plans to step her up in distance with the RSN Sandown Cup just a month away. “I don’t think conditions were great (tonight) and we’ve had plenty of rain so I though the run was really good,” White said. “I was a little bit worried early with the 3 right on her hammer, which I wasn’t really expecting, but as they came to the corner she took off and in the end she won by four-and-ahalf so I’m happy.” Tauwitchere is currently rated an $18 chance to win the RSN Sandown Cup which will be run on Thursday, 28 May.
