ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS IN BERWICK

Members of the Berwick Business Group Andrew Kaibab, Ritesh Prasad, Callen O'Brien, Magda D'Abaco and Lisa Wilson Moore are ready to celebrate Christmas in Berwick.

Santa goes off to work Santa’s workshop is set to take over the streets of Berwick this Christmas with the return of the Berwick Business Group’s festival fun day, Christmas in Berwick.

Taking place on Saturday 9 December, the Santa’s workshop themed festival will have something to keep the whole family amused with a range of merry activities on offer.

As the Business Group explained, festival goers will have the chance to snap a photo with Santa or in the very popular ugly jumpers; however guests are encouraged to book online before they arrive to ensure their photograph.

Local dance schools will also be out and about performing to Christmas music and local choir groups will be entertaining crowds by singing a range of much-loved carols within the gardens.

The chance to decorate a Christmas bauble

in the Star Marquee will also be available.

Baubles can then enter the amazing competition to find the best bauble, before making their way to any of the 20 plus Christmas trees lining the streets of Berwick.

There will also be the opportunity to participate in the reindeer scavenger hunt and win fantastic prizes from participating local traders.

Gift bags will also be given out for the first 200 mums and 100 lolly bags will be available for Santa’s little helpers.

Christmas in Berwick will take place on Saturday 9 December 2017 from 10am to 3pm at Middle High Street Gardens, High Street in Berwick.

FOCUS ON … CHRISTMAS IN BERWICK Christmas is the perfect time to give a child’s bedroom a makeover. Santa has excellent taste in new bed linen, art work and furniture! Cath Stocks from Framing to a T Framers and Designers, gives her tips on creating special spaces for junior members of the family.

Bedroom makeover to a T It’s a great idea to give your child’s room a neutral canvas to work with as they grow.

Their needs and tastes change.

For example, a toddler needs more floor space for toys and playing and they may have a favourite colour like pink or blue at the time.

Tailored. The way travel should be Providing a personalised, reliable and efficient service for all your travel needs.

A teenager tends to need a study space within their room or perhaps they will need a space to entertain their friends, so to be able to introduce a chair or two within their room can be the difference of a simple change to bring your child’s room into their teenage years.

Their colour preference may have matured into greys or whites or they like the idea of choosing current colour trends.

A great way to achieve this flexibility is to keep the room as neutral as possible beginning with the paint colour.

I would highly recommend you paint your child’s room a soft white. It’s easy to become excited about choosing pink paint colour for girls and blue for boys but a soft white wall is the perfect backdrop for displaying colourful framed prints, needle works and art.

Choose a neutral colour, hardwearing, good quality carpet or, better still, sisal or a wool mix sisal.

If you are keen to have colour on the floor, purchase a little round rug or a rug with fun design to sit neatly on the bedside.

Good quality window furnishings are a great investment to see through the changing years.

Try to choose a blind or curtain with a blockout and ensure it covers the entire window and architrave. This will reduce the light that enters the room allowing toddlers and teenagers to enjoy a good night’s sleep and sleep in!

There are a fabulous range of curtain and blind fabrics on the market.

Choosing a neutral colour but with a texture or complementing patterned fringing or pelmet will give the room warmth and interest.

Cath Stocks, Creative Director of Framing to a T. I like to recommend plainer furniture when decorating a child’s room. A simple light oak timber or white bed frame or an upholstered bedhead is a statement piece in the room but this simplicity will allow you to change doona cover colours and textures along with changing up scatter cushions for your growing child.

I would advise choosing a matching bedside and or bookshelf to the bed to once again keep furnishings simplified to help create a clean uncluttered appearance.

Now it’s time to accessorise.

Bedside lamps, scatter cushions, books, keepsakes and favourite pieces of your child’s on display will guarantee a happy, fun, peaceful room for your child to call their own for years to come. Framing to a T is at 16 Gloucester Avenue, Berwick. Phone 9769 8686.

FOCUS ON … CHRISTMAS IN BERWICK

Librarians love a yarn Children love festive story books and books make great stocking fillers.

Star asked librarians at the Casey Cardinia Library Corporation for their top five Christmas books for children.

Pig the elf by Aaron Blabey No one loves Christmas more than Pig. And the world’s greediest Pug will stay up all night to get his presents.

Why I love Christmas Illustrated by Daniel Howarth Featuring children’s own words, this book is an ideal stocking filler. From Christmas trees to Christmas cake and everything in between, it includes the things that children love about Christmas.

Santa Claus and the three bears by Maria Modugno Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear weren’t expecting any company when they went for a walk on Christmas Eve. This book delivers a festive twist on Goldilocks and the Three Bears, with Santa Clause stepping in as a cheerful intruder.

The prose is accompanied by beautiful watercolour pictures.

Dave’s Christmas Cracker by Sue Hendra Dave loves Christmas. There are friends, decorations, presents and, best of all, there is an enormous Christmas meal including lots of Brussels sprouts. Rumble, rumble goes Dave’s tummy. Christmas is going to be explosive!

The Bush Santa illustrated by Mandy Foot

Personal travel manager Joanne Haines can take care of any holiday.

Joanne can make your day Librarians Wendy Morrison and Sarah Litchfield with some of their favourite books. 174600 As the sun sets on Christmas Eve, the Bush Santa’s big night begins. He travels around Australia delivering special presents to all the Aussie animals from the cockies in Cairns and the crocs of the Top End, to the wallabies in Canberra and the quokkas of Rottnest Island.

An Aussie Night before Christmas by Yvonne Morrison Christmas in the middle of an Australian summer means Santa has to find new ways to deliver his presents.

The obvious solutions are to don a sun hat, shorts and a pair of thongs, not to mention ditching the sleigh and reindeer for roos and a ute.

Each line of this traditional verse has been rewritten with Aussie references.

Providing a high quality and personalised service, tailoring clients’ dream holiday and ensuring every little detail is taken care of is what puts Joanne Haines of Berwick TravelManagers among the best.

Whether it’s a budget backpacker trip, a family holiday, a five-star luxurious retreat or a fully escorted group tour, Joanne will look after it.

Every aspect of the client’s journey will be taken care of while they relax and enjoy their holiday stress-free.

Joanne also provides 24/7 emergency contact service to ensure holiday-goers maintain that peace of mind should anything go wrong.

Joanne also specialises in putting together large itineraries for those who are travelling across many cities or for extended periods of time.

“Like a big jigsaw puzzle, I love arranging all of the pieces such as connecting flights, accommodation, insurance and tickets to attractions,” Joanne said.

Joanne lived abroad for nine years and has visited more than 40 countries since she was 19.

Lay - by NOW for Christmas!

As such, she is able to recommend the best places to stay on any budget as well as provide clients with some of the local knowledge and tips to best utilise time and money.

In May this year, Joanne escorted a group of eight travellers to Italy for two weeks, starting in Rome and ending in Venice.

It was such a successful tour that she is planning another tour in June 2018, spending one week travelling around Sicily and one week on a lemon farm in Sorrento where she will explore the Amalfi Coast.

This sensational tour is limited to 10 spots with only a few spots remaining!

Joanne has also put together specialised Hong Kong packages for the racing season and the upcoming Rugby 7s tournament.

“These fantastic extra services come at no additional expense!” Joanne said.

“Remember, without a travel manager, you’re on your own!”

Paying it in forgiveness Casey Cardinia Libraries has erected Forgiving Trees at all its branches in the lead up to Christmas.

People are welcome to contribute items of food or unwrapped gifts for people in need of support.

If donors have library fines, CCL will waive their fees in acknowledgement of their generosity.

Casey Cardinia Libraries CEO Chris Buckingham said the Forgiving Tree was a golden opportunity for library members with overdue items or fines to wipe the slate clean and feel good about it.

“This is the season for giving and we want people across our community to know that if they pay it forward and help out others, we will return the favour,” Mr Buckingham said.

“We know Christmas is a time where lots of households are under pressure to make ends meet.

“As a public library service we take great pride in providing useful and free services in safe welcoming places.

“By waiving fines and encouraging people to visit our libraries we can bring people together and help celebrate the best things about community life in Casey Cardinia.”

The Forgiving Tree campaign will run until 24 December and all donated goods will go to local charities.

Keith Vethaak from Transit Soup Kitchen welcomed the extra help at Christmas.

The Curtain Nook not only stocks high-quality custom-made window furnishings but also a diverse selection of gifts and soft furnishings.

Little nook of quality gifts

Cranbourne Information and Support Service executive officer Leanne Petrides, librarian Wendy Morrison and CCLC CEO Chris Buckingham. 174600 “Cardinia Libraries Forgiving Tree means that Transit Soup Kitchen will be able to increase the number of people we support at this time of the year with much-needed food, helping families through the tough Christmas period.”

Non-perishable food needs to have its packaging intact with best before dates in 2018. Christmas gifts must be new and unwrapped.

Other organisations that will benefit from donations are Hampton Park Community House, the Doveton Salvation Army, WAYSS, St Mark’s Emerald and the 4Cs in Pakenham.

While the Berwick Curtain Nook is well-known for its high-quality custom-made window furnishings, many customers may not be aware that it has a wonderful and diverse selection of gifts and soft furnishings available to purchase this festive season.

Stocking a large selection of small gifts and homewares sourced from around the world, Berwick Curtain Nook supplies customers with products such as delightfully fragrant Australian-made home and body products by Urban Rituelle as well as magnificent table linen and soft furnishings from Europe, Asia and the UK. There is a gift to suit all budgets and occasions from a small gift for a teacher or Kris Kringle to an unforgettable gift for that special someone.

And for those looking to brighten up their home this holiday season, it also stocks beautiful cushions, throws and decorative accessories.

“If you enjoy the personal friendly service that only a small family owned business can offer and are looking for that special, unusual gift or decorative item, pop into Berwick Curtain Nook,” Annette of Berwick Curtain Nook said.

“We look forward to welcoming you!”

Berwick Curtain Nook is located in the heart of Berwick Village at shop 7-8 Village Arcade, 48 High Street, Berwick.

Living in fear

Noelene Nolan spent weeks in fear of leaving her house after two home invasions. 175361 Being a victim of crime “shocks your whole foundations,” Ms Nolan says.

She used to be confident, dealing with all manner of public miscreants when she worked for Metro Trains. Now she’s suspicious.

“You feel you’re not safe in your home. I get neighbours to check there’s no-one in there.”

Ms Nolan often stays at her late mother’s Dandenong North address, too terrified to stay overnight in Hampton Park without the company of friends.

She is seeking to replicate her mum’s hightech security cameras, with a red emergency button to instantly summon police.

Riddled with painful back fractures and knee and foot ailments, Ms Nolan uses a walker to get herself around.

She suffers a lack of co-ordination and bal-

wasting your time.

“But what sort of job can I do?”

A Department of Human Services spokeswoman said the department would get in touch with Ms Nolan to “ensure they are appropriately supported”.

“A person can also lodge a new claim for (a disability support pension) if their circumstances change.

“If a condition deteriorates, or someone has new medical evidence, they should provide that information to the Department so we can assess the most suitable support for their circumstances.”

According to the department, conditions have to be “ fully diagnosed, treated and stabilised” with “no significant functional improvement within the next two years”.

ance, making her prone to falling.

Last year, she unsuccessfully applied for a Disability Support Pension - though she receives Commonwealth SWEP funding for disability upgrades such as shower railings in her home.

Centrelink is demanding that she applies for 15 hours of office, retail or call-centre work a week, as far away as Broadmeadows.

This is despite a Monash Health orthopaedic expert’s opinion that she shouldn’t sit down for more than 10 minutes. A 15-minute drive even makes her feel like the “Tinman in Wizard of Oz”.

“It’s disgraceful, absolutely,” a distraught Ms Nolan said.

Terrified by two recent home invasions, a Hampton Park woman says she is now being unfairly hounded by Centrelink.

Noelene Nolan, 42, was assaulted by groups of youths as they ransacked her Somerville Road home on 26 April and 31 July.

On the first occasion, she investigated noises at her front door. She remembers a man grabbing her by the neck and shoving her against a wall.

The intruders rummaged through a wardrobe, grabbed medications and unbolted a safe with her engagement ring, passport and - worst of all - wedding photos of Ms Nolan’s late parents.

In vain, Ms Nolan posted on Facebook for the thieves to at least return the photos in her letterbox.

“They got what they wanted.

“It went for probably five or seven minutes but it felt like hours.”

Ms Nolan was left more than bruised by the assault. She recalls one of the youths wondered what it would be like to “rape a white girl”.

The group repeatedly asked for “Money, money, phone, phone”.

“There was no way I was giving up my phone,” Ms Nolan said.

The offenders - tall, male and some perhaps of African appearance - are still apparently at large.

On 31 July, she returned home at night and was shoved to the ground off the front step by a fleeing group of burglars who stole her medication. Police told her she was just unlucky.

“You’re just healing and it puts you back again,” she says.

It’s been a horrible year including the death of her beloved toy poodle in March. She had also been caring for her mother, who died from ovarian cancer in September.

The shooting of two males at the nearby Hampton Park Tavern car park on 22 November gives Ms Nolan further angst.

Jail for chucking cricketer

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man in his early forties was jailed over a drunken late-night home invasion in which he threw a large rock at his partner’s former husband.

The keen cricketer - with little criminal history - was fuelled with about 15 to 20 drinks after attending a Test Match at the MCG followed by drinks at a Berwick pub on 27 December, 2016, the County Court of Victoria heard.

He told police that he “cracked” when he was picked up from the pub by his apparently intoxicated partner.

“I had enough of the four years of bulls*** with a depressed alcoholic (his partner) who used to be married to that person (the victim).”

However he couldn’t remember the ensuing assault and aggravated burglary, he told police.

The court heard the man had armed himself with two large rocks and entered through the unlocked front door of the victim’s Cranbourne North house late that night.

With the victim’s three teen and adult children inside the home, the man yelled “Where is he?” and hurled a rock at the victim who emerged from the bedroom.

The victim dodged the projectile which created a large hole in a plasterboard interior wall.

The man wrestled with the victim and the victim’s son in the kitchen, and was pushed down the hallway out the front door.

“Come outside. I’ll bash the f*** out of you,” the man yelled.

He hurled a large rock through the home’s front window, and smashed the victim’s car’s windscreen and passenger window, bent the car aerial and broke a letter box.

Narre Warren police stated the man was kept in police cells for three-and-a-half hours due to his drunkenness.

In sentencing on 20 November, Judge Gabriele Cannon noted the profound impacts on the victim and his three children.

The victims stated they were fearful during the attack and felt unsafe in the house ever since.

Judge Cannon noted the victim sustained

cuts as well as a swollen elbow which required daily pain relief.

The injury restricted the victim in daily tasks and caused him to give up sport.

The offending was “serious”, aggravated by being late at night and in front of the victim’s children, Judge Cannon said.

There had been a long-standing “soap-opera like” acrimony between the families, she said.

The man had a limited criminal history but a history of binge drinking, cannabis smoking and at times regular intravenous amphetamine use.

The man was convicted and jailed for three years with a 15-month non-parole period.

Serey stands for ‘values’ and ‘local’ in state election

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Being a true local counts, says the Liberals’ freshly endorsed candidate for Narre Warren South.

Susan Serey, the conservative Casey councillor who previously ran for the seat in 2014, is back in battle for the 2018 election.

To succeed, she needs a swing of more than 5.5 per cent against ALP candidate and National Union of Workers state secretary Gary Maas.

Cr Serey, a Berwick accountant and business development worker, says she’s always lived in Casey.

This was unlike her opponent who was seeking to move from St Kilda East to a local rental property, she adds.

“A local is something we have never had,” she said.

“I’m not going to promise to move in (to the electorate) and then not move in.”

Her interest in politics was kindled not long after volunteering at St Vincent de Paul’s as a 15-year-old.

She started volunteering with her “mentor” Inga Peulich’s office in Chelsea - a person who shares her socially conservative “values”.

“I don’t want our country, our values, our state being undermined by things that the public don’t want.

“They don’t want drug injecting rooms, they don’t want euthanasia, they don’t want Safe Schools and radical teaching at schools, they want Australia Day to continue on 26 January.”

On same-sex marriage, Cr Serey pointed to the low 51-per cent ‘Yes’ count in Holt - which covers much of Hampton Park, Cranbourne and Narre Warren.

“It’s a clear indication that people don’t want to get their values trashed and changed at the drop of a hat.”

There was a curious recent moment when Liberal member Geoff Ablett was elected Casey mayor for the third time recently.

While other councillors toasted Cr Ablett with congratulations at the 13 November meeting, Cr Serey declined to comment.

“I wasn’t actually consulted on who was go-

Susan Serey is running as a 'local' for Narre Warren South. 175185 ing to be mayor or deputy mayor ...

“How could I congratulate someone who doesn’t have the courtesy to tell me what was going on?

“If he wants to play games, it’s his fault not mine.”

Her other main issues are law and order, roads and public transport - a key concern for the 80 per cent of employed Casey residents who commute outside Casey for work.

She said City of Casey’s transport wish-list of up to $5 billion was possible within the next State Government term. It would include a rail extension to Clyde, bus route improvements and about $2 billion of arterial road upgrades.

“I think it needs to be done in the City of Casey.

Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

“The transport situation is getting worse and worse.”

Citing a rising crime rate, Cr Serey says she doesn’t feel safe living in Casey.

“One day it will happen to me and my family - and that’s scary.”

She is also concerned by the rising numbers taking up drugs - and the need to significantly boost Victoria’s drug-rehab centres and cut the six-month waiting lists for ‘ice’ addicts.

In contrast, the trial of a safe-injecting room in Richmond would not save lives and would become a beacon for drug-dealers, she said.

In 2014, Cr Serey won a one per cent swing against the ALP incumbent Judith Couacaud Graley. It showed people didn’t like to be “tak-

en for granted”.

Her 2018 rival Mr Maas said he was hopeful of settling into “my new community” by the end of this year.

In the meantime he said he’d been meeting with local constituents, community leaders, teachers and principals.

He would continue the work of sitting MP Ms Graley to lobby for road and public transport upgrades, including the $1 billion of road projects already being carried out.

“The former Liberal Government did not plan for the population growth that has been experienced in the outer south-eastern suburbs.

“These consequences are being felt by the local community.”

FOCUS ON ‌ HARVEY NORMAN

Making catering a joy The invitations are out, the turkey is brining and the plum pudding is hanging in its cloth wrap drenched in brandy.

What could possibly go wrong?

Christmas calm can turn to Christmas disaster without the right appliances to help make the big day a success.

An old oven, a leaking dishwasher, eskies under foot because the ageing fridge has leaky seals will have the cook wanting to flee the kitchen in a one horse open sleigh.

It’s not too late to replace old kitchen appliances with brand new state-of-the-art ones, thanks to Harvey Norman.

Harvey Norman stores have a huge range of quality Westinghouse kitchen appliances that will make Christmas catering a joy.

For 60 years, Westinghouse has delivered good, solid, reliable appliances that get the job done.

Westinghouse is continually innovating to ensure its appliances fit the needs of busy, modern families.

For instance, the company’s new French door fridge is designed to fit a 90cm space with a huge 605 litre capacity. Clever engineering allows it to be installed with minimum gaps on the sides meaning maximum storage for fresh produce.

A tip from the Westinghouse team - prevent kids from overdosing on sugar by hiding sweets in a mushroom bag in the refrigerator crisper!

The Westinghouse range of cooking appliances includes free-standing cookers, ovens, microwaves, range hoods and cooking accessories.

Teen without conviction

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Keyless, clueless

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Volunteers are in a stand-off with Casey Council over the security and entry system at Arthur Wren Hall in Hampton Park.

Long frustrated by the current lock-andkey entry, the volunteer hall managers want a keyless entry system - including a keypad - by 2018.

A keyless entry would end the expense of replacing locks and keys whenever the restricted keys are lost by hirers, Hampton Park Progress Association spokeswoman Vanassa Gerdes said.

It would also save on the onerous task of fronting up to the hall to deliver and collect

keys from hirers many times a week. This happens at all hours, including weekends and evenings.

However, Casey Council has baulked at the request mainly due to cost.

The council’s preferred ‘Integriti’ security system and installation - which hooks up to the council’s centralised security system would cost $25,000.

The volunteers say their desired security system can be installed for $10,000 less.

“We don’t want to hook up to the City of Casey,” Ms Gerdes said.

Due to the purported cost, hall managers have been told to apply for a grant from Casey’s minor capital works program.

But the volunteers say they have been knocked back while going down that route before.

The council has also offered a simple $500 keyless key pad system. It doesn’t meet the managers’ needs to restrict hiring groups access outside their allocated times, however.

At a 9 November meeting, councillor Wayne Smith said the keyless entry issue was a “huge issue” at what is Casey’s largest community hall.

He successfully moved for the keyless system to be considered in Casey’s mid-year budget review - if the minor capital works application failed.

An 18-year-old student was spared conviction for an $1800 shoplifting spree with her best friend at Fountain Gate shopping centre.

The pair stole cosmetics and jewellery in their handbags and pockets, and stowed fashions under their clothes during their six-store escapade on the afternoon of 4 August.

The accused later told police that she didn’t think of it as stealing. Acquiring new gear “makes me feel good,” she allegedly said.

The two targeted Target, Best & Less, Lush, Labisa, Cotton On and Kmart before the woman was stopped by a loss prevention officer.

All stolen items were recovered, full admissions were made, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told on 20 November.

A defence lawyer said the pair didn’t originally go to Fountain Gate to steal things, the lawyer said.

The idea came to them during a shopping trip. It gave the accused a “bit of a thrill”.

“This was in line with her mental illness to feel something, to have something nice and new in her life.”

The woman no longer associated with her former best friend and co-accused, and sought treatment for her illness, the lawyer said.

Any conviction would jeopardise the woman’s plans to work in horse trail-riding, the court heard.

Magistrate Julie O’Donnell noted the woman’s young age, mental illness, excellent work history and without criminal history.

Ms O’Donnell warned repeat offending would lead to conviction and possibly jail.

The woman was placed on a 12-month good-behaviour bond on condition she attends counselling treatment.

I wish to endorse and support the comment by John Glazebrook ('Accurate Prediction', Pakenham Officer Star News 16 November).

As a resident of Casey, his anticipation of a successful result from the election of new mayor Geoff Ablett regarding leadership in the municipality to ensure more employment and local jobs including welfare and environment resources sounds really positive.

His analysis of the federal and state government responsibility for the overwhelming growth that has flowed through Casey and now into Cardinia Shire is spot on. We are now seeing continuing expansion with a proposed new suburb eastward towards Nar Nar Goon where developers rub their hands with satisfaction as they wait for the continuing flow of population growth to justify more subdivision of land.

As John Glazebrook correctly points out, the two government levels responsible for the impacts of this unrelenting growth need to strike a balance and take responsibility in providing more compensation to the growth area local councils who have to carry the financial, social and environmental costs that result from uncontrolled growth policy.

The companies have 2000 lots in planning or construction in Casey, Jon Atchison of Wolfdene said.

“As a responsible corporate citizen we like to give back to these areas that we develop.”

… BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE The editor’s desk

GO TO STARCOMMUNITY.COM.AU FOR…

Stop and think for a moment: what’s the worst thing about life in our suburbs?

Some would say crime, lack of jobs, or maybe a lack of infrastructure, maybe even a transient community or a lack of connectedness.

But I’d argue - and call it a First World problem if you will - that road congestion is the real issue.

How many of our road rage incidents come from the sheer, mind-numbing frustration of inching your tonne or so of metal along the Monash?

Of course, the Monash ranks highly on the hate list. But that’s just the beginning.

What about Racecourse Road in Pakenham, the dreaded Berwick at school pick-up time, Cranbourne’s main street or the peak-hour gridlock that surrounds Dandenong?

Nowhere else in Melbourne do we see such a flood of vehicles without the infrastructure to support them, as we do in the South-East.

And if anyone is bold enough to suggest a congestion charge, taxing by kilometres driven, or any other punitive actions against car owners, let me blow the whistle right now. It’s not on.

Cars created this wide brown land. They are an Australian birthright. And you can prise them from our cold, dead fingers.

Technology, which created this, may yet save us. Futurists suggest that fleets of self-driving cars will make car ownership redundant. There will be fewer of them, they’ll interact together, and they’ll simply go away when you don’t want them (as if that could ever happen).

The South-East shall rise again ... on four wheels.

Many things have changed in Casey in the past 20 years.

But the leadership at the celebrated Casey North Community Information and Support Service (CISS) is not one of them.

At its annual general meeting, Casey North CISS paid tribute to its enduring executive director Susan Magee, social worker Lidia Gruszka and admin manager Samantha Findlay.

The three have served throughout Casey North CISS’s 20-year history.

They’ve seen countless office moves, hundreds of volunteers, a Global Financial Crisis and an ever-larger populace in Casey.

“If anyone had suggested to me 20 years ago that I would still be here ... I am not sure I would have believed them,” Ms Magee told the AGM dinner at Bunjil Place on 15 November.

“The time has gone quickly for me, and there has always been a new challenge to rise to.”

Ms Gruszka said it was “mind-blowing” to be recognised for her service.

“The aim is for people to leave happy, that

we can settle them and make a difference.

“So that they don’t leave in tears.”

Ms Findlay paid tribute to the passion and culture of the service - and to the 6200 annual hours put in by volunteers.

“It’s just a great place to work.”

Ms Magee also gave a dire warning of the debt-laden families on the edge of “extreme financial distress”.

Last year, the CISS provided more than $390,000 of emergency relief to more than 4000 visitors - 132 of those were homeless.

If interest rates took off, “a scenario far worse than the last GFC could be ahead of us,” Ms Magee said.

In a popular move, Kay Morland nominated for the CISS board - taking the seat of her late husband and Casey mayor Mick Morland who was tragically killed in June.

The CISS continues to produce free financial resource guides for low-income households as well as families at the brink of breakdown.

It also provides financial counselling, no interest loans, Christmas hampers and winter coats.

A Richmond Tigers fan’s premiership celebrations seem to have ended with a thud.

Word around Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was that the young man had gone on a week’s bender after the Grand Final victory and missed his court-ordered appointments.

He faced the music in front of a judge recently. From what we hear though, the judge wasn’t impressed with the ‘Richmond’ defence.

Berwick CFA volunteers recently gave up their weekend to rattle donation-tins for life-saving equipment.

So it was funny that on the day before, the State Government released a $13 million brag about its Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program.

The Berwick brigade got $31,000 for a minor upgrade at the station but obviously the government’s largesse only covers so much ...

Park worse than bite Meanwhile, an outlaw motorcycle gang member is fighting a charge of assaulting a parking inspector.

His lawyer argued at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that his client was “quite wellmannered” as he argued his parking ticket was “not justified”.

Maybe some words “not heard in Sunday school” were used, but he didn’t touch the officer, the lawyer said.

“So your client is a member of (said outlaw motorcycle gang) and went to have a nice conversation with the parking officer?” the judge mused.

Fool for a lawyer It’s usually not a good way to open your court defence with a refusal to accept the jurisdiction of the court.

Often when that’s used, you know the defendant’s arguments are going downhill fast.

So it was the case at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court by a man who claimed he was not guilty because he claimed he had a different surname than was on his driving summons charge.

The judge stood the case down after getting tired of the man talking over him.

After a break, the man refused to indicated a suitable date for a contest hearing, and refused to take documents of the police case.

He replied three times: “Because it’s not my name, sir.

“It would be fraudulent of me to take it.”

The case was set aside for a contest next month.

The jolly old man in red is coming to town early to jingle!

For the first time Clyde Carols by Candlelight will kick off the Casey Christmas Carols at the Hillcrest Christian College Oval in Clyde North on Saturday 2 December.

The event’s organiser Pastor Kerrigan LaBrooy said he was “tremendously excited” for the fun-filled family night for the entire community, which is hosted by Gethsemane Church and supported by Casey Council.

The singer-songwriter who will also perform on the evening said: “We want to make this event affordable for all families to come and enjoy the festive cheer without having to worry about affordability.”

Pastor La-Brooy said entry and entertainment was free, with 2000 vouchers valued at $500 each on offer for the first 2000 attendees at the event, compliments of Barry Bourke Motors - to put towards a purchase of new or used car.

“We aim to create an aura of festive cheer across the oval, with free children’s amusements, local businesses volunteering, vendors displaying their merchandise, live music, comradeship, free giveaways and even some free food.”

He said the festive cheer would also include a sausage sizzle, coffee van, ice-cream, popcorn, slushies, and cakes.

Performers this year are Derrick Junkeer, Mel Manuel, Lisa Ann, Noami Horsley, Dancin’Lines, and Ebony Portelli, Triple Treat Talent Academy, and Gethsemane Church Choir.

Pastor La-Brooy said there will also be a couple of other “surprise acts,” but added: “Santa

Bunjil’s on the wall

An iconic painting that hangs proudly in a Narre Warren office is a little-known inspiration for the design of Casey’s civic-arts hub Bunjil Place.

The painting in question is Meeting of Many Paths - a community grant artwork created for Casey North Community Information and Support Service.

It has had pride of place at the CISS offices since it was painted by the late Aboriginal artist Cathy Adams in 2001.

Its owners at CISS however had little inkling of the earthy painting’s influence on Bunjil Place until recently.

FREE Santa Photo Mon 27 – Wed 29 November; 9am – 12pm.

Hardly any knew at CISS’s recent AGM - until a video interview was screened with Bunjil architects FJMT which explained the link.

In the video, FJMT stated that they drew upon the painting’s depiction of place, its wildlife and the new “tribes” that have settled in Casey.

The building’s namesake Bunjil the Eagle also found expression in the structure’s sweeping wings.

Speaking soon after the AGM, CISS executive director Susan Magee said she could see the painting’s influence.

The way all paths lead to Bunjil’s welcoming central plaza among the rolling

lawns and channels.

Meeting of Many Paths warmly depicts a welcome stick planted in a circular hub with ‘many paths’ of welcome leading to its heart.

The indigenous wildlife, the brolga-inhabited swampland in what was known as 'Narre Narre Warren’ and greetings in the languages of the area’s “new tribes” are represented.

Its style is typical of Indigenous artwork in this region, Ms Magee says.

Curiously though, CISS had no interaction with the project nor its architects.

“I had no idea,” Ms Magee said.

“Why didn’t they talk to us from the beginning?”

Kitty boom RSPCA shelters are attempting to make room for the anticipated summertime explosion in homeless kittens.

The organisation is dropping cat adoption fees from $120 to $39 in a bid to re-home 200 cats in four days. The cats - over four months old - are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and have had veterinary checks.

Chief executive Dr Liz Walker said cats as young as five months had little difficulty conceiving and giving birth in the warm season.

“Nearly every un-desexed female cat who is exposed to an un-desexed male during the warmer months will become pregnant.

“We really want to emphasise that the rela-

tively low cost of desexing far outweighs the cost to the community of caring for cats and kittens.”

In 2016-'17, more than 4000 kittens arrived in RSPCA shelters. Most landed between November and April.

“We need to break this cycle of homelessness that so many of these beautiful creatures experience,” Dr Walker said.

“Desexing is the most effective strategy.”

Mosquito fish seem to be as damaging as their cursed land-borne namesakes, according to a team of scientific aces at Waverley Christian College.

The student team took out the FedUni Casey Project final recently, spelling out the mosquito fish’s havoc on Casey’s waterways.

The team found “disturbingly low pH levels”, meaning our waterways are too acidic and prone to absorbing mercury.

The students pitched ‘pH robots’ - devices that could detect and alert the authorities to high or low pH levels.

So where do the mosquito fish come in?

Apparently the fish were introduced to Australia’s ecosystem in a failed attempt to control mosquitoes.

Instead the fish were very keen on eating zooplankton - a vital organism that consumes algae and is crucial for maintaining clean wa-

ters and a stable pH, the students argued.

Casey councillor Wayne Smith was so impressed with the presentation that he successfully moved for the council’s officers and students do further research on the issue.

Their findings will then be presented to Casey’s conservation advisory committee.

“I was amazed how good kids are, with their presentation, their confidence, their ideas,” Cr Smith said.

FedUni Berwick campus manager and director of strategic planning, Greg Jakob, said the program was a wonderful opportunity to expose young minds to university life.

“The project is designed to challenge students to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions and opportunities to real-life problems, specifically for the City of Casey,” Mr Jakob said.

“The presentations were inspiring and we look forward to working with local high school student to help them realise their ambition.”

THE LOWDOWN Q&A Who are you?

I am a 26-year-old two times cancer survivor, first diagnosed with testicular cancer at age 18, and diagnosed again at 24 with secondary testicular cancer in the abdomen, liver and lungs.

I’m taking part in the 2018 Casey Relay for Life, which is aiming to raise an incredible total of $4 million in its short 10-year history.

What is something people don’t know about you?

I wanted to be a photographer for National Geographic when I was a child, and on a threemonth trip travelling overland through southern Africa I got to live out that childhood fantasy going on safari and taking around 5000 photos.

What was your most memorable moment?

On my gap year after graduating from Monash University, I went to volunteer in an orphanage in Tanzania. I brought with me 40 children’s books which were so appreciated by the kids, having them calling out one after the other to read with them. Also seeing the joy on the kids’ faces when I organised on my last day to take them to the beach. Even though they lived not far from the coast, it was the first time most of them had seen the sea, and their expressions of joy were priceless and extremely memorable.

What would your last meal be?

My Nonna’s pasta with eggplant meatballs and for dessert the strawberry trifle my other Nonna makes, along with my mother’s famous cholate mousse.

What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness?

I would like to have the ability to go back in time to see the day that World War II ended and to experience the pure joy and relief the entire world would have felt.

What is your favourite TV show?

My favourite TV show would be the BBC ‘Planet Earth’ series by David Attenbourgh, as I love documentaries.

with Daniel Margariti, Young Adult Cancer Support founder

THREE … ways to volunteer in your community

Some of the things that happen in the group are bowling, darts, cards and much more. For information on how to become involved, contact Warren Calder on 0439 513 240.

Daniel Margariti 174523 What is your favourite book?

My favourite book is the Reality Slap by Russ Harris. The author is an expert in dealing with serious events in a person’s life and it provides a lot of useful ‘mindfulness’ approaches .

Which six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?

David Attenbourgh, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michael Jordan, Elon Musk, Barack Obama, Al Gore.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

At school I ... was quite fat and not very co-ordinated between the ages of 8 and 14 years old.

One day while playing soccer I fell on top of another primary school boy and broke his leg with my fat unco-ordinated 10-year-old bum, I felt so terrible about it that I picked up and carried the injured schoolmate to the sick bay, it was very embarrassing explaining that I sat on someone’s leg and broke it.

What was your first or best concert?

I have never really been to a concert or music festival but I would love to see Bruno Mars live if I was to go to a concert, as I love that he has brought funk and soul music back to popular culture.

BUSINESS PROFILE

Enjoying the celebrations with warm words for friends and colleagues were Director Mark Bond, Partners Matt Rice and Andrew Facey, and Director Graham Josh Kendall.

Facey 100th The Facey name has been synonymous with real estate in Dandenong and the greater South East for 100 strong years.

Facey celebrated the milestone with an elegant affair, filled with ceremony and nostalgia.

Third generation of the Facey namesake Andrew Facey joined Mark Bond and the directors from Facey Industrial Commercial to cut the centennial cake and reminisce about his family’s proud achievements at ARCO restaurant in Dandenong South on Thursday 16 November.

Facey Industrial Commercial is honoured to uphold the legacy of what the Facey name has brought to Dandenong and take it forward into the next 100 years and beyond.

The stories that were shared on the night by a room full of pioneers delivered real insight into those that are truly responsible for shaping the Dandenong and the South East into the metropolis of today.

Mr Bond said: “It’s the people that made and continue to carry on the Facey legacy.”

He went on to quote another Facey, Aus-

tralian writer and World War I veteran Albert Facey, from his 1981 book A Fortunate Life: “I never worried about trying something different or having a go at something. I have always believed that if you want to do something you usually can.”

Such words resonated well with the audience and it speaks true to the culture at Facey Industrial Commercial today.

It’s a can-do attitude that inspires team members and engages clients.

Frank Facey took a chance in 1917 when he created something from nothing.

Director Graham ‘Josh’ Kendall opened his speech with the remark: “Had Frank Facey carried on with his coachbuilding business, we wouldn’t have a business today.”

The room erupted with laughter and that set the tone for the evening.

Guests from the early days and current, business partners and clients alike, they were all there to celebrate and honour the Facey family.

Free entertainment will keep the kids amused.

Street party will have the lot It will be a street party with all the trimmings as the community at Villawood Properties’ Marriott Waters celebrates the launch of its display village on Saturday 25 November with a free family fun event.

Visitors are encouraged to take a stroll down Seachange Parade and explore the 23 beautiful homes showcasing what Villawood’s builder partners have delivered in the Marriott Waters Display Village.

The village will be a hive of activity between noon and 3pm with each of the 13 display builders providing free entertainment for families - perfect for keeping the kids engaged while parents seek out their dream home.

There will be plenty to keep families fuelled including coffee carts, food vans, sausage siz-

zles and more.

In addition to kids’ arts and crafts, henna artists, face painters and balloon artists, there will be a range of activities and incentives to entice parents, from a Christmas styling session with Chris Carroll from The Life Creative, thanks to Metricon (bookings essential), through to a suite of generous offers available exclusively to Marriott Waters Display Village purchasers.

BACK TO THE GOOD OLD SLOW DAYS RELIVE the good old days of packing up the car with food, kids, pets, and driving to the family holiday house to enjoy time together from dusk till dawn.

The days were spent fishing, hiking, bird watching, swimming, boating, eating with a barbecue under the stars until finally falling into bed exhausted but happy.

Now more than ever with global uncertainty, rising prices overseas, too much emphasis on technology etc it is time to take the kids on a real holiday in a holiday house.

And what an opportunity this is to turn dreams into a reality.

Kathy Burgstahler Real Estate has four unique properties including a vacant block of land which are currently for sale in Loch Sport - just three hours’ drive

from Pakenham.

Loch Sport is a truly unique and historic picturesque town in that it has managed to retain the charm of a fishing village of yore while having sweeping vistas to admire or photograph and an absolute abundance of varied birdlife to enjoy.

The new owners will be able to fish, sail, boat, swim, hike in kilometres of national park, and relax to their heart’s content, or just literally do nothing in this well-appointed house and truly get away from it all.

Those looking for a lifestyle change or a fabulous place to house the entire family for holidays should definitely call Kathy Burgstahler on 0437 192 335 to book a private inspection. ●

FOCUS ON … EDUCATION CHOICES

Connected to community The Berwick Neighbourhood Centre (BNC) is a vibrant community place where every person is made to feel welcome through a wide variety of classes, courses and events.

Situated across three premises within Berwick, the BNC strives to be a place of belonging where people can connect, participate and learn.

“Primarily, our focus is on serving the community with programs catering for families with young children.

“But we also offer a variety of programs for our over-50s community, including our knit-

ting ladies who knit for local charities and families in need,” manager of the Berwick Neighbourhood Centre Michelle Coburn said.

BNC currently has vacancies in its childcare room; learning through play.

This program is specifically designed for children aged one to five years and operates on Tuesday to Friday from 9am to 2pm.

However there are many more opportunities for children within the BNC. “BNC will open our enrolments for threeyear-old pre-kinder for 2018 from Monday 9 October 2017.

“In the interim, we encourage you to visit either centre to see us in operation or to ask any further questions,” Ms Coburn said.

“We also run playgroups from our Timbarra venue, which is a great way for families to make new connections with others in the local area.

“Our children’s art activity classes are also very popular and allow the children to be involved with some messy play.”

For further information about the Berwick Neighbourhood Centre, call 9796 1970 or visit www.berwickneighbourhoodcentre.com.au.

Power to empower learning School skills to create men Berwick Lodge Primary School principal Henry Grossek understands that there are many things that schools aim to teach children.

In fact, he knows that the list is so long that sometimes it can cause school communities to throw their hands up in despair.

“That’s from where the term, Crowded Curriculum, came,” he said.

“There is also the knowledge that students of today are facing an adult world in which many can expect to have not one or two career changes, but up to seven in the course of their working lives.

“Then there is the shifting sands nature of technology - rapid changes whereby today’s technology is being superseded even before we have all become familiar with it or, worse still, have paid it all off!”

Mr Grossek also believes that empowering children in their learning is no longer an option, but rather a necessity.

“To that end, educators are attending con-

Berwick Lodge Primary School students Riley, Alisha, Madison and Yaneth are a part of a school community that empowers students in their learning. ferences and seminars focused on giving voice to students in their learning,” Mr Grossek said.

Berwick Lodge Primary School is at 139-145 Mansfield Street, Berwick. For more, call 9707 1766 or visit berwicklodgeps.vic.edu.au.

A common thread which runs through the approach to educating boys is a desire to develop good men.

As Head of Berwick Grammar School, Dr Steven Middleton noted that while such an approach has been an historical element of boys' education, a greater focus on developing skills for life rather than just the completion of examinations has re-emerged as an educational phenomenon at leading schools across the globe.

"As the only dedicated boys school in our local area, Berwick Grammar School is uniquely placed to provide an education that meets the unique needs of boys," Dr Middleton said.

"Our staff are particularly adept and experienced in meeting the various development needs of boys as they transition through the various phases of adolescence.

"Our approach to the classroom where each boy is challenged to find his own brand of excellence is supplemented by a diverse range of

2018 Berwick Grammar School Captains Aidan Ferreira and Will Morgan. co-curricular endeavours including sport and cultural pursuits designed to enable each boy as an individual to discover his inner passion."

Berwick Grammar School is at 80 Tivendale Road in Officer.

Luke’s ready for draft

Luke Davies-Uniacke (9) is firming as the Dandenong Stingrays’ sixth number one draft selection.

166487 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS on the night and hoping for the best,” he said.

And he doesn’t “buy” into the media speculation about where he is going to be drafted, but acknowledges he is likely to be going to one of three clubs, two of which are on different sides of the country.

“I don’t go out of my way to look at what’s been said (in the media), it’s only the stuff my mates tag me in, but I’m comfortable with everything that’s being said,” he said.

“It’s come across my mind that it could be

Woolamai’s premier rider last season Courtney Pace will be looking to hit the ground running this Saturday.

Picnic racing at Woolamai

By Gavin Stubbs An atmosphere of anticipation surrounds the historic Woolamai and District Race Club as the first of six meetings for the new season takes place this Saturday 25 November.

Woolamai, with around 150 years of history, is one of the three main picnic racing tracks alongside Healesville and Balnarring.

Riders and trainers will converge from right around the state, but there are some key players to keep an eye on.

Last season’s premier rider, Courtney Pace, is again looking forward to riding at one of her favourite tracks, taking on the likes of Reece Goodwin, who also has a strong affinity with the testing circuit.

“The track is generally in outstanding condition and every horse is given its chance to win,” Pace said.

“It plays fair whether your mount is bowling along in front or coming from back in the pack.

The fields are generally strong, the crowd is vocal and it’s a unique feeling to be right amongst the action. It’s also great to see how the picnic circuit is continually endeavouring to better itself.”

Pace, the two-time winner of the Barry Ryan Medal for outstanding horsemanship, berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

has recently taken out her trainer’s licence and can’t wait to boot one of her own home on race day. She is also aiming to ride five winners on a card and better her current best of four - which she has accomplished three times.

Coronet Bay trainer Shae Eden is also a keen supporter of Woolamai and will have several runners this season. Fresh off winning at the Flemington spring carnival with top mare Ocean Embers, Eden boasts a strong stable and is sure to be well represented.

Local Woolamai rider Sophie Logan has ridden several winners on her home track and her talent has been on display numerous times in her short career.

Woolamai has many appealing features, not the least the family-friendly atmosphere and its laid-back feel. Barbecues and picnic rugs adorn the lawns and the shady elms live up to their name perfectly.

Racing.com’s Adam Olszanski will call the action, while kids will have plenty to keep them busy with Pockets the Clown in attendance, and face painting and a jumping castle available.

The picnic races, with its informal country atmosphere, continue to retain the charm of yesteryear.

Brisbane, Fremantle or Carlton, and I’m happy with any of those three - even interstate I’m okay with.

“Even though I’d love to stay in Melbourne to be with friends and family, I’m easy.

“The challenge for me is that I’ve got great connections in Melbourne, and just trying to restart those connections would be different - I have a set routine before every game, and that’s usually with people that live near me, so it’d definitely be a challenge to seek out new people interstate.

Potential number one draft pick Luke Davies-Uniacke is a rare type of match winner, the type of ball-winning midfielder who can change a game in a matter of seconds.

The 18-year-old Dandenong Stingray is firmly in the frame to be taken as the number one pick in Friday’s National Draft in Sydney after a stunning two years of elite junior football, with Davies-Uniacke a certainty to be taken inside the top three with fellow youngsters Cam Rayner and Paddy Dow. His abundance of class was on show in the latter stages of the TAC Cup season, and in particular on 9 September against Eastern Ranges in an elimination final, where the midfielder accumulated 33 disposals and a goal to lead his side to victory after being down by 50 points at half time.

Ahead of the draft, Davies-Uniacke will head to Sydney on Thursday, and will try and keep his thoughts in check before his life changes forever.

“I’m pretty relaxed actually - every time I do think about it, I get a few butterflies, but other than that, I’m pretty relaxed about it all,” he said.

“I’m just looking forward to Friday night, and hoping for the best and gearing up for what could happen.

“I’ve had some family come around, so said hello to them because I’m not going to see them too often, and I’m just relaxing at home with Mum and Dad.” With AFL clubs virtually finalising their plans for Friday, Davies-Uniacke can only watch on and let fate take care of itself.

“I believe it is (out of my control), it’s all up to the clubs now in what decisions they make - there is not a lot I can do besides rocking up

“But I’m sure those clubs would help me out, and there’d be no issues from my end.

But Davies-Uniacke prides himself on honesty, a quality that will assure he demands respect at an AFL club.

“Coming into this year, I knew I’d have clubs coming to my house, and I pride myself on being an honest guy - every interstate club will ask you that same question over and over, and telling them the truth goes a long way,” he said.

So what kind of player does Davies-Uniacke believe he can be at AFL level?

“I want to have a long career, that’d be unreal - I do see my game around (Patrick) Dangerfield’s, just the way he goes forward too, and also Dusty (Dustin Martin), so hopefully I can have great careers like they do,” he explained.

“I feel ready to get to pre-season - during pre-season, they’ll tone me up and get me prepared, but I do have some confidence that I can have an impact, maybe not straight away, but throughout the season for sure.”

And throughout what has been a challenging year, with school, Vic Country, AFL Academy and TAC Cup football, Davies-Uniacke has leant on friends, family and his manager, Robbie D’Orazio.

“My family have been amazing, alongside Robbie, I can’t thank him enough, and that’s the same with my parents and friends - all their advice has been the same, to just be myself, be honest and to make the most of the year,” he said.

Wickets tumble in DDCA

By Nick Creely DDCA TURF 1 REVIEW - ROUND 4 (DAY ONE) A flurry of wickets and a storm looming for hours - it certainly wasn’t a day to be a batsman in the DDCA’s top tier on Saturday.

With just one team reaching the 200 mark across the grounds on day one, bowlers certainly had their way, no more so than down at Arch Brown Reserve.

The star-studded Berwick elected to bat against HSD, and were immediately greeted by impeccable line and length from Cobra openers Kashuyla Weeraratne (3/65) and Michael ‘Slick’ Davies, who orchestrated the early wickets of Adam Watson (2) and Ryan Williamson (4).

Darren de Souza (21 off 145 balls) and Matt Chasemore (25 from 60) dug deep, putting on 29 runs in almost two hours, before Jackson Philipin (1/18) found the edge of Chasemore’s bat to leave the home side reeling at 3/37.

Despite a solid 25 to Jarrod Armitage, and cameos from skipper Jarrod Goodes (20) and Cory Bevan (24), Davies proved almost unplayable, snaring 6/33 from his 18 overs to roll the Bears for just 146.

And the Cobras are going to need Davies’ experience with the bat next week with James Wilcock (3/3) and Goodes (2/15) then tearing the visitors’ top order to shreds, leaving the Cobras 5/32 at stumps.

Prized batsmen Matt Cox (7 not out), Kaushyla Weeraratne (0 not out) and Davies will all bat for the visitors on day two.

Down at Casey Fields, Cranbourne and North Dandenong are evenly poised, with a tough and tight affair ensuring the clash will go deep into day two.

After Eagles skipper Lucas Ligt elected to bat, openers Cam Kelly (37) and Brandon Tyzzer (21) got the home side off to a strong 59run start, with the pair playing in form seam-

Berwick batsman Matt Chasemore drives the ball during his 25 on Saturday. 175195 Pictures: GARY SISSONS ers Gayantha Wijethilaka and Mitchel Minhas with ease.

But tweakers Mick De Kauwe (2/29), Asfan Thajudeen (3/38) and veteran David Bell (4/17) got the game on their terms, and changed the game with 46 overs of immense pressure.

Despite Brayden Roscoe (18) holding his own in the middle order, and late cameos to Pardeep Boyal (20) and Jawed Hussaini (16), the Eagles were dismissed for just 150 off 79 pain staking overs.

But the Maroons ended the day in horrific fashion, with Syed Mehmood (0) falling in the only over of the day to Steve Miller to leave the

visitors 1/0, still 151 runs short of victory.

Buckley Ridges were the only team to pile on the runs, with the Bucks slamming on 269 against Hallam Kalora Park at Hallam Reserve.

It was all Daniel ‘DJ’ Watson (57) in the early stages, with the champion batsman slamming seven boundaries and three sixes in very little time to give the Bucks the early jump.

But after Hawks bowler Jagveer Hayer (1/32) managed to trap Watson LBW, the home side fought their way back into the contest to take the vital scalps of Suren Ekanayake (25) and Susantha Pradeep (25) to leave the visitors 4/121.

In-form Kiwi recruit Greg Todd (88) steadied the ship superbly to anchor the middle innings, and combined with skipper Troy Aust (36), piled on a 90-run partnership to step back into command.

After threatening a score well above 300 at one stage, Will Whyte (5/67) and Thailvan Xavier (4/75) reeled the visitors back in with a superb spell to bowl them out for 269 in the final over of the day.

Dingley suffered a late stumble on day one against Narre Warren, but recovered swiftly to be in a commanding position down at Sweeney Reserve.

The Magpies had a bat, and it looked a disastrous decision after Daniel Orchard (3) and Jarrod Russell (5) lost their wickets early to leave the home side 2/13.

Some fight by Chamara Liyanaarachchi (15) and Bevan Radhakrishnan (7) saw the Magpies weather the storm briefly, but the brilliance of Dingoes spinner Dinuk Hettiarchchi (4/41 off 22 overs) saw the visitors skittle them for 139 off 55.2 overs.

Imran Laghmani (43) and Hussain Ali (40) were the only two to find some runs, after at one stage the Magpies looked like they’d score under 100.

The Dingoes were rocked late in the day by the wicket of star opener Matt Hague (0), who feathered a catch through to Magpies keeper Jake Cronin.

But Luke Spears (30) and Christo Otto (15 not out) steadied the ship to leave the Dingoes 3/58 at stumps.

In the day’s other two matches, Springvale South reached 7/162 against Mordialloc before the storms set in, meaning the Bloods will bat on during day two, while St Mary’s is in the box seat after rolling Dandenong West for 102 in 72.3 overs. The Saints lost a late wicket to be 1/10 at stumps.

Hudson bolts to Pacific Games

By David Nagel Hudson McKay is living proof that time flies when you’re having fun with the 10-year-old set to represent Victoria in the Pacific School Games to be held in Adelaide in early December.

The St Mary’s Primary School student from Berwick will run for his state in the 200-metre sprint and relay after finishing second in the School Sport Victoria State Championships at Lakeside Stadium recently.

Hudson, who joined Casey Little Athletics - now Berwick Little Athletics - when he was five, has put quite a record together after spending half of his young life at the club.

He has broken centre records at Berwick in the 100 and 200-metre sprints, as well as the 400 metres, and equalled the centre's high jump record which stood for 12 years.

He has also won the junior champion award at Berwick and is a multiple gold medallist at the Gippsland championships and a multiple finalist at state level.

But qualifying for the Pacific Games takes things to a whole new level altogether.

“I’m really excited about representing Victoria,” Hudson said, before explaining how he qualified for the big event.

“We ran a heat and had to qualify top eight to get into the final. I finished second in my heat and qualified, and then ran second in the final.”

Hudson, who has a personal best of 29.13, said he had improved his running a lot in recent times. He puts that down to some astute

All the coaches at Berwick, and dad, have helped me out heaps along the way.”

ball, football and swimming all forming part of his sporting adventure. But it’s little athletics that he truly loves most.

“I do love it, because there’s lot of variety in what you can do with throwing, jumping, long-distance events, and the variety is what I love most,” he said.

Hudson has one of his running singlets signed by sprinting legend Usain Bolt which hangs proudly from his bedroom wall. He hopes to emulate the style of Bolt when he takes to the starting blocks in Adelaide.

“I have to make sure I explode out of the starting line and really drive my arms forward,” he said.

“Then it’s about getting in to your main stride, trying to relax, staying calm and have fun and just run as fast as you can.”

That’s the spirit Hudson ... time flies when you’re having fun!

Bath's crucial century

By Russell Bennett A crucial century from skipper Bathiya Perera took Upper Beaconsfield to a strong first day’s total against Cardinia on the first day of round six in the WGCA Premier Division on Saturday.

In a clash that could prove vital in the race for finals positions, after being sent in to bat the Maroons were in serious trouble early at 2/10 with the in-form Kallan Braid-Ball (2/57) striking twice to remove the dangerous Zenith Wickramanayaka (7) and Jonathon Caderamanpulle (0).

A 60-run stand between Imesh Jayasekara (42) and Kulith Rabel (32) then helped steady the ship but spin twins Dwayne Doig and Travis Wheller (3/68) struck in the space of five runs to have the visitors seemingly back on the ropes at 4/75.

Perera then stood up when his side needed him most - showing his class in notching his maiden century for the club.

Perera was one of the stand-out batsmen in the DDCA’s top turf tier before making the switch to synthetic to lead the Maroons. After giving glimpses into his superb talent with a series of half-centuries over recent seasons, he raised the bat for triple figures for the first time as an Upper Beaconsfield player on Saturday leading from the front.

After Jayasekara fell at 5/101, Perera took charge before ultimately being the last wicket to fall at 236 in the 76th over.

Doig was a real shining light with the ball for the Bulls - claiming 5/62 in a mammoth 30 overs - including the wickets of Jayasekara and Rabel.

Ben Parrott and skipper Alex Nooy will resume for the Bulls at 0/2 this week with the Maroons’ total well within reach if the home side maintains its composure.

Nearby on Saturday the reigning premier Kooweerup amassed 271 at home against

Cardinia champion Dwayne Doig was at his mesmerising best on Saturday, claiming 5/62 from 30 Picture: ROB CAREW overs against Upper Beaconsfield. 175191 Clyde (2/7) and struck twice in the dying overs of the opening day’s play to have the Cougars well on the back foot.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Demons skipper Mark Cooper fell leg-before to Nick Sadler (2/44) for just nine.

While Cooper’s opening partner Chris

O’Hara (32) looked to punish anything short, Chris Bright (13) was skittled by a full-pitched delivery from the impressive Damasara Menuwara (3/62) and at 2/35 off 13 overs the Demons had a few questions to answer.

O’Hara then combined with young allrounder Mitch Davey (24) for a period of consolidation before Jess Mathers (59) and

Young Swans remain winless

SCOREBOARD

By Nick Creely The news wasn’t pretty for Casey-South Melbourne in the opening rounds of Twenty20s, with the Swans suffering two losses over the weekend to remain winless and anchored down the bottom of the ladder.

The young Swans fielded one of its most inexperienced sides in recent memory over the weekend, with the average games played in the first XI being just 36.

On Saturday against Carlton, the Swans snared prized scalp Evan Gulbis with the first ball of the game to give them the dream start and potential momentum after electing to bowl at Casey Fields.

However, it was only a brief moment of joy in a tough 90-minute fielding stint, with Blues’ opening batsman Brayden Stepien (108) belting a glorious century - a knock that included seven sixes - to guide the visitors, and combined with talented youngster Mackenzie Harvey (50) lifted the highly experienced visitors to a match-winning total of 4/202.

Nathan Lambden (2/20) tried in vain as the Blues dispatched the Swans to all parts of the ground, and was the only bowler to cause any real problems.

And despite some fight by Jordan Wyatt (47) - who looked aggressive, compact and willing to take on the bowlers with four boundaries and a six - the Swans finished on 9/120 - with clumps of wickets in the middle once again denting their chances of victory.

On to Sunday, and the Swans travelled to play Greenvale - a side in a similar position down the bottom of the ladder - and disappointingly fell in comfortable fashion that sees the Roos surge two games clear from the bottom.

After winning the toss and batting, the Swans found no flow in their game once aggressive openers Joel Mitchell (1) and Wyatt (2) fell in the first two overs, and scratched their way to 8/95 off their 20 overs courtesy of Ryan Eaton (20) and Brendan Rose (20).

A classy 48 not out to James Rosewarne made the chase for the Roos a simple one, with the home side banking the victory with three balls and seven wickets to spare after some

Casey batsman Jordan Wyatt provided a lone hand on Saturday against Carlton. 175197 Pictures: GARY SISSONS tight bowling by the Swans.

Jackson Fry (1/18), Jonah Serong (1/11) and Dylan Hadfield (1/14) all bounced back with the ball for the Swans after tough days against Carlton.

With the Swans now moving to a 0-8 record, they will look to claim their first points of the year with matches against Northcote on Saturday and Melbourne Uni on Sunday, with both games to be played at Casey Fields.

Jackson Fry lets one go on Saturday at Casey Fields.

keeper-batsman Ben Spicer (58) compiled the innings’ defining partnership after tea.

When Mathers was ultimately caught by Nick Miles at backward point off Shane White, Spicer took on the role of the aggressor - dealing mainly in boundaries before he was eventually caught on the mid-wicket fence with the score at 6/218.

The home side was ultimately dismissed in the 73rd over with Cougars seamer Shane White powering through 25 overs to finished with the impressive figures of 4/65.

Meanwhile, four wickets apiece from impressive young gun Mitch Thomas (4/53) and veteran Peter Jessop (4/55) have the Cobras well and truly in their clash against the Seagulls after the midway point at Tooradin.

A host of Gulls batsmen made starts - including Tom Hussey (25), Josh Lownds (23), Cal O’Hare (44), and Dylan Sutton (18) - but only Kade Burns could reach 50 as the home side was dismissed for 209 in the 77th over.

A patient, steady approach from Merinda Park this week could give Andrew Martin’s side its first victory of its 2017-'18 campaign as it looks to win the battle against relegation over Emerald.

In the remaining game of the round, Pakenham is just a breath away from first innings points against the Bombers after rolling the home side for just 138 at Chandler Reserve.

It was an all-too-familiar story for Emerald with many of its recognised batsmen struggling to have any real scoreboard impact, with only bowling all-rounder Clinton Marsh (33) passing 20.

Zac Chaplin (4/42) and Tommy Tyrrell (4/19) took four wickets apiece in a combined 27 overs before the Lions reached 4/108 in the final 25 overs of day one. Troy McDermott (34) and Dan Vela (10) are the not out batsmen with the likes of skipper Dom Paynter, Rob Elston, and Chaplin still to bat.

Locals take tricodes

By David Nagel A large and enthusiastic crowd converged on Cranbourne’s racing hub on Saturday night for the 2017 edition of the hugely popular City of Casey Tricodes.

A total of 23 races kept the punters busy, with seven thoroughbred and eight greyhound and harness races being run at 10 and 15-minute intervals.

And Cranbourne trainers more than held sway on the track.

Francis Finnegan led the charge by preparing Nordic Power to win the first thoroughbred race on the card, while fellow Cranbournites in John Allen, Charlotte Littlefield and Mick Kent rounded out the program with the last three winners.

It was a family affair for the Allens, with

Matthew Allen in the saddle piloting his dad’s eight-year-old mare Merry Magic to victory in race five.

Karen Leek took home the main prize in the greyhounds preparing Sir Jay Jay to win the night’s feature, the $10,000 Presidents Cup (699m).

Wayne Vasallo trained a double, while Jason Sharp had a quinella in the last with Penny Pop and Desiree Dancer fighting out the finish.

And there were two $10,000 races in the harness, with Emmett Brosnan steering Majestic Cruiser to victory in the City of Casey Tricodes Pace (2080m), and Josh Aitken the trainer-driver of Hot Jane Bling, who took out the Aldebaran Park Trotters Handicap (2575m).

The Cranbourne Turf Club hosts night one of its Christmas Carnival meetings tomorrow, Friday 24 November.

Injury blow for Rangers

By Nick Creely The Dandenong Rangers’ worst fears were confirmed last week with star player Sara Blicavs rupturing her ACL in a bitter blow to the WNBL side and the Australian Opals.

Scans last Monday confirmed the extent of the injury, with the star playmaker expected to miss up to 12-months as she recovers.

Making matters worse, Blicavs will not only put a dent in the Rangers’ attempt to back up their WNBL grand final appearance in 2017/18, but she will also play no part in the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, where she was a big chance to be part of the Opals squad representing Australia.

With only about 90 seconds left in the first half during the Rangers’ clash with Adelaide Lightning on Friday 10 November, Blicavs landed awkwardly and played no further part in the match.

The Rangers confirmed the prognosis through a statement on their website.

“Everyone within the Dandenong Basketball family would like to wish Sara the best of luck in her recovery journey, and will be behind her offering our support at every step of her return to the basketball court,” the statement read.

“Always the brightest and bubbliest personality in the room, Sara’s absence will definitely be felt for the rest of WNBL18 but we have full confidence that she will return stronger and better than ever in the very near future.

“Sara will begin that recovery journey tonight with a very capable orthopaedic surgery team.”

Blicavs had enjoyed a strong start to the WNBL season after enjoying one of her finest seasons in 2016/17.

MOTORING

Hot-blooded Italian racer

By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Model range Alfa Romeo Giulia QV 2.9-litre petrol four-door sedan: $143,000 (automatic)

Redhot and ready for action, the brilliant Alfa Romeo Giulia QV. are too small for our liking. Easy enough to read, but not theatrical enough, we reckon.

The bright red starter button on the steering wheel is a great touch.

We just love the green four-leaf clover badge sitting between the V of the engine.

The 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 sits well back under the carbon-fibre bonnet, the peak 375 kW is reached at relatively low revs (low for an Italian machine) 6500 rpm. Redline doesn't kick in till 7000.

Torque is what really matters and the engine has an impressive 600 Nm all the way from 2500 5500 revs.

Transmission is by a sports eight-speed torque convertor automatic to the rear wheels.

Alfa's DNA (Dynamic, Normal, Auto) driving modes are crowned by a Race mode - sold only in the QV. An 8.8-inch multimedia screen may sound large, but it's way too skinny and the satellite navigation isn't particularly easy to see because of that.

Satellite navigation and climate controls

operate through a centrally mounted rotary dial that's simple to use with minimum inattention.

A Harmon Kardon 14-speaker sound system sounds great and it’s almost worth parking the car in a scenic location during the early Sunday morning run on your favourite driving roads to fully appreciated it.

It’s no surprise that the all-new Alfa Romeo Giulia has a five-star EuroNCAP rating. Major passive safety features include forward collision warning with autonomous emergency brake and pedestrian recognition, integrated brake system and lane departure warning.

Acceleration is brilliant. Dial up Dynamic mode and our red Alfa screaming off the line after only a few moments of turbo lag. Overtaking is ridiculously easy.

The sound of the V6 is muted by the turbochargers, a common problem, but it does reach more exciting levels when accelerating hard in D and R modes.

Handling is almost too good to explore on public roads. The hot Alfa simply holds on to

levels that provide a huge amount of safety.

Track days? Yep, that's the way to go.

Feel through the steering wheel really lets you know what is happening and correcting the Alfa's direction through even the tiniest movements on the wheel is superb.

Despite the excellent handling the QV’s suspension provides a surprisingly comfortable ride. Motorway driving is almost limo-like and backroad feel is fine.

Big bumps and dips on rough n’ ready Aussie backroads aren’t appreciated, though.

The front seats are genuine sports units with high bolsters to secure you when the seriously high cornering forces are called up. Indeed, it might be an idea to sign up for track days to really get the best from this ultra-hot Alfa.

Rear seats have enough legroom, but only just - compromise may be required between those in the front and rear.

The hard surface of the rear of the sports seats can make it difficult for the knees of the person sitting behind them.

Boot space is okay, but the loading area is on the small side, keep in mind this is a family sedan and this comment does have to be made.

A stunning Italian sporting machine has joined the ranks of hot European cars. “Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde” - very poetic, isn't it? It certainly demands a spot on your short list.

For more information contact Berwick Alfa Romeo, 257 Princes Highway, Hallam. Phone 9554 0800.

12370726-CB47-17

This redhot Italian machine is taking on highperformance models from Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus and Mercedes at their own game.

Alfa Romeo’s Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) sports sedan is the real deal. Rear-wheel drive, Ferrari-inspired 500 horsepower (375 kW) twin-turbocharged engine that gets it to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.

It reset the Nurburgring production sedan lap record at just seven minutes and 32 seconds.

After getting to the 100 km/h in the threesecond bracket, it gets to a top speed on the far side of 300km/h.

Keeping weight down is a major way to increase performance and the QV has hotformed steel, aluminium and carbon-fibre components to keep its mass down to 1525 kg.

Having reduced weight the next challenge is to spread it 50:50 front to rear, something else the designers have achieved.

Quadrifoglio is Italian for four-leaf clover and has been the symbol for Alfa racing cars for almost 100 years. More recently, the tag has been given to its high-performance road cars.

The Giulia Quadrifoglio body has serious sports items that include a large central grille and air intakes, cooling slots on the bonnet and serious side skirts.

And possibly the most aggressive rear diffusers on the road today. It sits on19-inch forged alloy wheels Thankfully our test QV was painted in a brilliant shade of red.

Inside, black leather-wrapped surfaces with red stitching are used in the upper area with a deep red shade in the lower section. Aluminium and carbon-fibre highlights add to the appeal.

Naturally there are traditional twin circular dials on the instrument panel, however they
