RAFAL Kaplon felt like he’d never escape the “dark place” that engulfed him.

For three years Kaplon, a Casey councillor, suffered from chronic depression which he thought would go on forever. But after an inspiring display of leadership and compassion throughout 2014, Rafal Kaplon has been selected as the Berwick News Person of the Year and was given the chance to reflect on how far he had come in such a short space of time.

“It seemed like a dark place that you’d never get out of, like there was no light at the end of the tunnel,” 29-year-old Cr Kaplon said.

“I had to take a semester off uni. I needed time to myself; I couldn’t deal with life, basically.

“I started portraying the severe symptoms of depression. You know, isolation, sleeping a lot. I would burst into tears for no reason at no particular time.

“That was the peak of it and that’s where I really decided at the end that I needed to get better.”

Cr Kaplon’s depression spiralled throughout his mid-20s, but the illness had perhaps been looming before.

He thought since school that he may be gay but Cr Kaplon, a Polish migrant, never told anyone at the time and struggled to even accept it himself. The young man didn’t come out to his family and close friends until he was 25.

“My struggle was accepting myself, because you sort of deny it all the time,” Cr Kaplon said.

“It’s like you’re constantly acting... you’re not yourself.

“You’re trying to put on some other mask.”

Having suffered this inner battle, Cr Kaplon would never have predicted what he would do years later to rally behind the City of Casey’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual and Intersex (LGBTI) community.

Last November Cr Kaplon came out publicly as gay after his fellow Four Oaks Ward councillor Rosalie Crestani attempted to raise a motion to stop the City of Casey promoting awareness of different sexual orientations.

Cruelty for the birds

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A 19-YEAR-OLD from Narre Warren was charged on summons last month after a bird was shot with an arrow at Wilson’s Promontory.

The teenager was charged with aggravated cruelty following the incident in which the bird was shot at Shallow Inlet, in Wilson Promontory National

Park, on Sunday 28 December.

The bird has still not been located by authorities.

Wildlife Victoria spokeswoman Amy Amato said there had been an increase over summer of animals being impaled by objects - many of which appeared intentional.

“We’re getting lots of calls about

this sort of thing,” she said.

“It’s been a reoccurrence over the last month or so, this holiday period we’ve seen an increase in these types of incidents.

“Whether people are just on holidays and it’s turning into this, I don’t know.”

Ms Amato said the recently record-

ed incidents included the use of items such as “spear-like devices” and kebab skewers.

“It’s absolutely despicable, it’s disgusting what people can do to an innocent animal,” Ms Amato said.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or Wildlife Victoria on 1300 094 535.

Driver jailed after crashing into train

By CASEY NEILL

The derailed train carriages. 89711 He’d been a professional driver for almost 50 years and was not speeding at the time of the crash.

“For the whole of your working life, your attitude to your driving has been responsible,” Justice Lasry said.

Witnesses said Bollen was looking downwards as he approached the crossing, looked up and realised

Picture: JARROD POTTER the situation at the last moment, and tried to brake and steer around the boom gates.

“The fact that you were distracted for as long as 19 seconds naturally makes this a very serious offence,” Justice Lasry said.

“It is certain you were not paying anywhere near the attention to your

driving that you should have been.”

He said he was confident that Bollen would “live a law-abiding life once you are released”.

Justice Lasry also cancelled his licence and disqualified him from obtaining a licence for five years.

CASEY Council last month officially began its $2 million redevelopment of the Edwin Flack Reserve athletics track.

It came as the City of Casey also opened the upgraded Clyde Recreation Reserve pavilion in December, following the completion of a $280,000 renovation.

Casey Council held a special ceremony at the end of last year to mark the turning of the first sod for the works on Edwin Flack Reserve in Berwick.

“Council is committed to ensuring there are quality sport and leisure opportunities available to Casey residents,” he said.

“These two projects are examples of how council is delivering the best sporting facilities that encourage the Casey community to be healthy and engaged in physical activity.”

The improvements at Clyde Recreation Reserve included an expanded canteen and renovated change rooms, umpires’ room and scorers’ room.

The Berwick athletics track re-development will include renovations of the javelin run-up area, the long and triple jump run-up areas, and the high jump area.

The existing drainage will also be upgraded, while the current grass track will be replaced with an all-weather synthetic rubber.

“This project will be a welcome boost to residents, sporting clubs and community groups in Casey, particularly in the north of the municipality, who will benefit from the improvements,” Cr Morland said.

“This facility is currently home to the Casey Little Athletics Club, one of the largest athletics clubs in Victoria, which will soon have some of the best facilities available to them.”

A TRUCK driver will spend up to five years in jail over a fatal Dandenong South train crash.

Supreme Court of Victoria Justice Lex Lasry on 18 December sentenced Melville Bollen, 71, to five years in jail, with a minimum two years and six months, over the 3 November 2012 incident at Abbotts Road.

Bollen, formerly of Narre Warren North, drove his semi-trailer through lowered boom gates and collided with the six-carriage Cranbournebound train about 11.40am.

Cranbourne West man David Cron, 43, died from head and chest injuries at the scene and four other passengers were injured.

Train driver Trevor King suffered a brain injury and fractures to his ribs, hands and feet.

Victim impact statements indicated that other passengers now feared using public transport and had increased anxiety about bad things happening to them or their family, flashbacks and nightmares.

Bollen pleaded guilty to culpable driving and multiple charges of negligently causing serious injury.

Suspicious fire details sought

Complaint ends

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD COUNCILLOR Rosalie Crestani has withdrawn her discrimination complaint with the Equal Opportunity Commission against Casey’s Mayor and CEO. Cr Crestani announced last Tuesday that she would be withdrawing her complaints against City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland and CEO Mike Tyler that she had lodged with both the Commission and the Councillor Code of Conduct Panel.

Cr Crestani demanded last year that Casey Mayor Mick Morland re-

sign from his position after she was prevented from raising an amendment to stop the council from promoting same-sex relationships.

Cr Crestani has now said she would be withdrawing the complaints after a “great deal of soul searching” and would no longer seek the mayor’s resignation.

“I have come to realise what I had set out to achieve in representing the public interest has since veered from the path that I feel is beneficial to all the parties involved,” she said.

“My heart is to work in conjunction with my colleagues to achieve

greater outcomes for our residents.”

Cr Crestani’s fellow Four Oaks Ward councillor Rafal Kaplon came out publicly as gay in November after she attempted to raise the motion to stop the City of Casey promoting awareness of different sexual orientations.

Cr Crestani’s motion sought to stop the council from issuing media releases and remove signs concerning sexual orientation or the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community.

Cr Crestani, who was a candidate for the Rise Up Australia Party

(RUAP) in the Victorian election, also sought to abolish the council’s LGBTI diversity training program.

Cr Crestani was removed from her role on a number of council committees after last year’s acrimony.

Cr Morland, who met with her last Wednesday, said it would be a whole council decision as to whether Ms Crestani was ever re-admitted onto the committees.

The first ordinary council meeting for 2015 will take place on Tuesday 20 January.

POLICE are still appealing for witnesses to a suspicious grass fire that blazed through Endeavour Hills more than a week ago.

Emergency services were called to Police Paddocks Reserve about 10.30pm on Friday 2 January where a fire burnt about two hectares of grassland before it was contained within a few hours.

No one was injured in the fire.

Police visited homes in the neighbourhood following the incident to urge residents to look out for spot fires.

The cause of the blaze is still being investigated by the Casey Crime Investigation Unit.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Photos to help hunt POLICE have this week released photos following a $600 robbery at a Berwick clothing store on New Year’s Eve. Detectives on Monday released the photos of three people they believe can help police with their investigation into the robbery at the Little Blackbird store in Main Street.

It’s believed $600 worth of clothing, cash and bank cards was stolen from the store on Wednesday 31 December.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com. au.

Councils give Labor win tick

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY is among the seven south-eastern councils which have welcomed the arrival of the new Victorian Government, with Labor having made a string of election promises for the municipality.

South East Melbourne (SEM) Chair and City of Frankston Mayor Sandra Mayer said her council coalition had been monitoring and assessing Labor’s election pledges against regional priorities during the election campaign and was pleased with the initial results.

“We are encouraged by the fact that many of the commitments made are consistent with our regional priorities and we look forward to sitting down with the new government to discuss exactly how and when each promise will be delivered,” she said.

Labor’s election promises regarding the City of Casey include the removal of the Hallam and Berwick railway crossings, for which funding has already been confirmed, and a $5 million upgrade of Hampton Park Primary School.

The State Government has also pledged to install public toilets at Hallam station, and promised a $175 million duplication of Thompsons Road, in addition to a $106 million upgrade of Casey Hospital.

She also said the southeast councils were in the final stages of developing their first regional plan and would be seeking commitments from regional MPs during the coming months.

“While we are grateful for all of these important an-

“These include creating and attracting more local jobs to respond to increasing population growth, building the necessary infrastructure to accommodate growing communities, developing our freight and logistics network to support economic growth and improving public transport.”

Scare tactics WHY doesn’t it surprise me to read in the media that we might be in for a long, local feud.

Instead of working together and looking after the ratepayers, they resort to fear mongering such as “playing catch up from the Kennett era, and affecting the ability of many councils to provide services”.

What are they scared of?

I would like more transparency for starters. How are the councillors’ wages and

perks justified?

At the last state election we had three City of Casey councilors running but not a word about where the money for their campaign came from. Was it political donations or from ratepayers?

Or is this just an excuse to sell off the local assets as well? We have already lost everything else to the private sector.

Cr Kaplon said the best way to describe his councillorship so far was as a “roller coaster ride”.

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

Fear follows terror death THE Muslim secretary of the Casey Multi-faith Network called for calm amid fears of a backlash following the shooting death of a terrorism suspect in Endeavour Hills in September.

Numan Haider, 18, was shot dead outside the Endeavour Hills police station around 7.45pm on a Tuesday night, after he stabbed a Victoria Police officer and an Australian Federal Police member.

Casey Multi-faith Network Secretary Naureen Choudhry, a practising Muslim, anticipated the shooting would cause a backlash towards the broader Islamic community and called for clear-thinking.

“I really wish there was a way of conveying this isn’t the general sentiment of Muslims, that the Muslim community is generally a very patriotic and law-abiding community,” she said.

“This is really the work of one individual that creates a bad reputation for everyone.

“I would be very cautious of seeing the entire Muslim community through the same lens as we do these individuals.

“Any Muslim person who tries to take justice into their own hands is not abiding by the

Detectives gather near Endeavour Hills Police Station Pictures: GARY SISSONS following the shooting. 127959 teachings of Islam, any such actions are not representative of the faith but of that person’s own understanding of the faith.”

Casey Multi-faith Network president Jim Reiher echoed his secretary’s sentiments, calling for solidarity in the wake of the shooting.

“We stand with our Muslim friends here in this nation, and affirm that we know they are saddened and distressed at the cruelty that is done supposedly in the name of their religion,” he said.

“It is an abhorrent misrep-

resentation of Islam. As Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Spiritualists, and more - we want the whole community to know that just because someone says they belong to ‘such and such a religion’ - it does not mean they actually do.”

It’s believed Mr Haider had been brandishing a flag outside Dandenong Plaza Shopping Centre in the lead-up to the shooting and former Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said it appeared to be an ISIS flag.

Councillor shows his gay pride CASEY councillor Rafal Kaplon came out publicly as gay after his fellow Four Oaks Ward councillor Rosalie Crestani attempted to raise a motion in November to stop the City of Casey promoting awareness of different sexual orientations.

Cr Kaplon announced he was homosexual following a tumultuous council meeting in which Cr Sam Aziz left in protest, forcing the session to dissolve because there was no longer a quorum.

Cr Crestani’s motion sought to stop the council from issuing media releases and remove signs concerning sexual orientation or the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community.

Cr Crestani, who was a candidate for the Rise Up Australia Party (RUAP) in the Victorian election, also sought to abolish the council’s LGBTI diversity training program.

But none of her fellow councillors supported the motion.

In a statement released after the meeting, Cr Kaplon said he felt it was important to make his sexuality public in a show of “strong community leadership”.

“I chose to make the personal disclosure that I did in my statement at this time on a mat-

Councillors Rosalie Crestani and Rafal Kaplon. ter which is normally private and of no relevance or importance to my daily life because I believe this issue called for a show of strong community leadership,” he said.

“And it is pivotal for Casey GLBTQI youth to know that there is nothing wrong with them, and that they have support from the wider community and members of the council.”

Cr Kaplon said he was “relieved” Cr Crestani’s motion did not pass and that the City of Casey remained “accessible and inclusive for all and not just some”.

“Cr Crestani justified her Notice of Motion as not being against the GLBTQI community but rather to stop singling out

groups for special treatment and protecting heterosexuals from discrimination,” he said.

“However, I sadly feel that the motion was nothing more than a cheap political ploy by the Rise Up Australia Party and the mischievous “Lord” Christopher Monckton who was present in the chamber to gain traction before the state election by picking on the Muslim and GLBTQI minority groups.”

Monckton, a well-known conservative and controversial climate change sceptic, was at the controversial council meeting but Cr Crestani didn’t elaborate on his attendance apart from to say he was assisting the RUAP with its anti-abortion agenda.

Murder probe after body found RANI Feathertson’s body was discovered in Doveton in early April.

Police combed nearby Eumemmering Creek after the body of Ms Featherston, 34, was found underneath a tree in Lace Street, Doveton, about 7am by factory employees who work in the industrial area.

Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McIntyre said the woman had sustained cuts to her upper body from what appeared to be a “struggle on the roadway”.

“The girl appears to have been assaulted and at this stage we’re treating it as a homicide,” he said at the time.

“She’s got some significant injuries to the upper body, we believe there was probably an

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

Stand against family violence COMMUNITY leaders rallied again this year to put a stop to family violence and violence against women - under the banner of the Challenge Family Violence program.

Star News Group backed the stance and across the month of November in the lead-up to White Ribbon Day on the 25th, dedicated editions to the issue.

During that time readers heard from the likes of faith leaders Jim Reiher and Graeme Cann, police sergeant Graeme Stanley, Ormoro community leader Marama Kufi, South East Juniors football boss Shaun Connell, Matt Spencer from the YMCA and Star editor Garry Howe.

All these men signed and many more across Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs signed

up to the White Ribbon pledge “never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women”.

Sadly, the region encompassing the City of Casey, City of Greater Dandenong and Shire of Cardinia is considered a hotbed for this behaviour.

There are at least 25 police officers dedicated solely to supporting victims of family violence and targeting offenders.

In the past, family violence has been largely brushed off by blokes as a women’s issue or an issue for police to deal with.

Wrong! It’s a responsibility that men have to accept - and those 70-plus community leaders put their hand up to do just that.

Among those taking a stance against family violence and violence against women were, from left, Jim Reiher, Matt Spencer, Sergeant Graeme Stanley, Marama Kufi, Graeme Cann, Garry Howe and Shaun Connell.

Election controversy

Amanda Stapledon.

1168795-CB3-15

AS THE state election rolled around again this year it came as a surprise to very few when it was entangled in controversy.

The campaign didn’t start out quite as expected for two candidates who were investigated by the Ombudsman for receiving donations.

Liberal candidate for Narre Warren North Amanda Stapledon and Liberal candidate for Cranbourne Geoff Ablett remained silent after it was revealed that they were being investigated.

They have remained tight lipped since Labor was announced as the winner on 29 November.

Jude Perera retained his seat for Cranbourne and came out on top, while Luke Donnellan and Judith Graley also prevailed comfortably.

The controversy didn’t stop in the aftermath of the election when candidate Amanda Stapledon alleged she was bullied by Labor aligned backers at a pre-polling station.

MP Luke Donnellan denied the claims.

Eaten alive THE News spoke to James (not his real name) in March, who beat his ice addiction after three years of dependency on the drug.

Heavily dependent on the drug, the 32-year-old’s life spiralled out of control soon after he began using it.

James spoke of the extreme paranoia that consumed him while he was high on ice, including a harrowing episode which saw him hallucinating on the floor of a shed in Cranbourne for eight hours, taken to hospital the next day and transferred to a psychiatric ward for 10 days after that.

“I was thinking I was getting eaten alive, for eight hours,” James had said.

“I thought there were bugs crawling down the wall, I could see them… I could actually see them, and spiders crawling down the wall.

“And snakes kept coming to bite me,

and they were biting into me and eating me alive. But it was through numbness, I was all numb.”

James, who lived in Doveton, said he started “hitting the drugs” when he made his way from rural Victoria to Melbourne, experimenting with marijuana, speed, heroin and everything in between.

By the age of 28, James had started using ice, injecting the methamphetamine into his bloodstream after a friend showed him how to.

James said the drug was like nothing he had ever taken before and extremely hard to stop using.

“You’re also addicted to the actual needle, going in and feeling that instant feeling,” he said.

“You could feel it run through your whole body, straight to your head, up the back of your neck.”

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

Lifeguard push is on for fatal shores AN ANGUISHED appeal for summer lifeguards at Lysterfield Lake reverberated through the community last year after a fiveyear-old boy drowned at the site in February.

Residents and Casey councillors made the impassioned plea for increased safety precautions at the popular swimming site, including lifesaving patrols and signage, after the tragedy marked the second death at the lake in just over a year.

The Rowville child was reported missing to police about 4.30pm on the day and he was located in the lake soon after by his father.

CPR was initiated on the boy

by Belgrave police officers who first responded to the call, and an off-duty nurse, before an am-

bulance arrived at the scene and paramedics tried to resuscitate the child for up to an hour.

As a matter of urgent business at the following week’s council meeting, Councillor Louise Berkelmans called on the City of Casey to write to Parks Victoria, which manages Lysterfield Park Lake, to create a water safety plan for the area with the possible inclusion of lifeguard services.

In January 2013, a Cranbourne West man drowned while trying to rescue two children at Lysterfield Lake who had been using a dinghy. The children made it back to shore unharmed.

Life Saving Victoria (LSV) confirmed there have been three reported drowning deaths at Lysterfield Lake since 1 July 2000.

walking a friend home from a party about 10pm at night.

The teenager suffered lacerations to his torso and was taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital suffering critical injuries.

Metro media outlets claimed the incident had caused tension in the Cranbourne community

CCTV

Search for McWhackers POLICE ramped up the hunt in June for 10 men involved in a wild brawl at an Endeavour Hills McDonald’s in 2013 in which three teenagers were viciously set upon.

Detectives released CCTV images and footage of the men involved in the fracas on Saturday 19 October, 2013, which broke out at the Heatherton Road restaurant just before 2.30am.

The attackers were believed to all be aged between 18 and 25. The teenage victims were allegedly reluctant to help detectives with their inquiries.

The three victims were punched and kicked during the attack, with one of them taken to hospital for treatment for a facial wound.

It is believed the three victims exchanged comments with a man just prior to the fight, who then allegedly called friends for backup.

Investigators have been told a group of men then ran into the McDonald’s within a minute and attacked the victims.

Police believe the three victims had been consuming alcohol prior to the fight and were unknown to their attackers.

Anyone with information about the incident or anyone who believes they can assist with identifying those involved is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. ฀

A five-year-old boy drowned at Lysterfield Lake in February.

and that police were concerned.

The claims came after a relative of the victim allegedly said on social media that another incident would “mean war” and that the night had got “all of Cranny on alert”.

However Casey CIU Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Rollo said that was not the case.

Ben Phillips, from Narre Warren, was assaulted and stabbed in Clarendon Street, Cranbourne, in February.

KNOW YOUR GRASSFIRE RISK THIS SUMMER If you live near open grassland, parks, paddocks or reserves, you could be impacted by grassfire.

IT’S UP TO YOU TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE STARTS. DO YOU LIVE ONE OR TWO STREETS AWAY FROM GRASSLAND? Stay inside your home – grassfires are unlikely to spread past the first row of houses Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

DO YOU LIVE ON A FENCELINE NEXT TO GRASSLAND? If a fire starts, quickly move one or two streets away from the fenceline or park boundary Act early, even if you haven’t received a warning Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

Remember, it’s up to you to monitor weather conditions and warnings.

Always keep an eye on the conditions outside - you may be aware of a fire before emergency services.

If you see smoke or flames, call Triple Zero (000).

“I was quite young when I met her and she helped me grow up in a way, she helped me learn what life is about and what people were about.”

– Rebekah Jones remembers growing up with her close friend Rani Feathertson, who was brutally murdered in Doveton’s industrial area in April. The police investigation is ongoing.

Professional basketballer Daniel Kickert returned safely to his home in Berwick this week after being urged to flee the Ukraine, where he had been playing for over a year in the Ukrainian SuperLeague.

The conflict in Ukraine can be traced back to November last year, when a series of relatively calm protests erupted against then-President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision to not sign a free trade agreement with the European Union, opting instead for closer ties with Russia.

But last month the unrest reached fever pitch when President Yanukovych was ousted and sought exile in Russia, after which Russian President Vladamir Putin mobilised his nation’s troops to seize control of most of the Crimean peninsula.

The plight of the Ukrainian people first hit home for Daniel as early as November when the Australian was in Lviv, a city in the county’s west, and saw thousands of students marching through town.

“I saw how upsetting it was for these Ukrainian students to have that EU decision taken away from them.

“They want freedom of movement to study in Europe and live in Europe, something the neighbouring countries don’t have to worry about,” Daniel said.

“That’s what they’re fighting for.”

Now safe in Victoria’s south-east with his wife Erica and parents Rudy and Jenny, Daniel concedes he will probably never play for Azovmash again; a team he was confident was the strongest chance to win the Ukrainian league championship.

But it is the Ukraine and its people that Daniel spares an even stronger thought for, as the country falls deeper and deeper into disarray.

“I’m concerned for them, all of the Ukrainian people. If the conflict escalates into anything full-blown, the country could be divided up,” he said.

“They’re under threat of losing their national identity - put yourself in their position.”

THE day pro-basketballer Daniel Kickert boarded a plane to flee the Ukrainian city of Donetsk, the town revolted.

Saturday saw some of 7000 protesters storming the city’s administration building and tearing down the Ukrainian flags that adorned its terraces.

In their place, Russian flags fluttered in the breeze.

Daniel, a Berwick native, played professional basketball for Azovmash in the Ukrainian Basketball Super League for the better part of two years, before his team’s general manager advised him and other team-mates to leave Ukraine last week, with the country teetering on the brink of war with Russia.

Now returned to the safe expanses of Berwick, Daniel believed Azovmash had been forced to remove itself completely from the Ukrainian league.

“Leaving was a mutual decision between us and the club. The teams closer to Kiev sent players out of the country a bit earlier,” Daniel said.

“I wasn’t approached by my general manager until Thursday because the league had been trying to postpone calling everything off but it became too dangerous for teams to travel.”

Azovmash was based in Mariupol, a city tucked next to the country’s eastern border with Russia and almost directly south of Donetsk, where his plane flew from on the weekend.

The 30-year-old said his heart went out to former team-mates who lived near the capital, Kiev, where fighting had escalated.

“For those guys it’s really extreme, people had been killed outside their training facility, people couldn’t leave their homes,” Daniel said.

“I had team-mates on the outskirts of Kiev, they had to have security accompany them in vans to their games.”

Dear Tony Abbott, My name is Jaden and I live in Berwick, Victoria, Australia. I also like to play basketball. I am really good at it.

Anyway this is why I am writing to you because I want to ask if my parents can get married? It’s because my parents are lesbians and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I’m not sure why you won’t let them get married. But if they did married how would it hurt you? I mean like you wouldn’t even see them and dude your sister is a lesbian!

And if you can accept that I’m sure you can let gay and lesbians get married!

Those you don’t even see at all and then your sister can get married as well and as long as everyone’s happy there’s no reason that they can’t get married right! Thank you for listening and if you let my parents get married then my life and there life would be so much easyer. Because people always listen to the prime minister of Australia!

So if this works maybe when I’m older I and all the other people would vote for you! You would be famous for it and be rich.

No one told me to write this to you I wanted to! I also get to choose whether being gay or a lesbian was right or wrong and I chose right and no one will persuade me to change sides and I mean it.

From Jaden. E Thank you Mr Prime Minister!

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE Doveton and Pakenham footy clubs will this weekend join forces in the campaign to prevent violence against women.

Both teams will take the field on Saturday for the inaugural White Ribbon match which is another watershed moment in the campaign following the launch of Doveton’s white ribbon adorned jumpers at the start of this season.

The tragic deaths of Kylie Blackwood and Rani Featherston in the past year sees Saturday’s game carry even greater significance for each team.

“This match is another piece of the jigsaw puzzle,” Pakenham Football Club president Steve Moloney said.

“Doveton has shown really good initiative with their White Ribbon campaign and there’s been a substantial amount of money getting it up and running.

“It’s a big day for them.”

Saturday’s Casey Cardinia League match will see the under-17s, under19s, reserves and seniors sides from both teams play on the White Ribbon stage at Doveton’s Robinson Oval.

Former player and AFL Respect and Responsibility ambassador Russell Robertson will be a guest speaker on the day, while former Casey police Inspector Wayne Viney will talk to spectators and players about the campaign.

Last year there were more than 7000 reports of family violence in the City of Casey, City of Greater Dandenong and Cardinia Shire.

Doveton Football Club president Shane Viney said he will urge his players to listen intently to the message delivered by both men on Saturday.

“Hopefully, when they sit there and hear Russell Robertson and Wayne

fire-resistant garden now in place at their school.

Casey, who also volunteers once a week at the office of Holt MP Anthony Byrne, said the award came as a surprise.

“It was awesome, but also nerve-wracking,” the 18-year-old said.

“I had great mates that came with me on the day that I know really well.”

Emma can’t contain her smile when discussing Casey’s achievements. She and her husband John marvel at their daughter’s resilience in the wake of constant adversity and praise the support of staff and students from Narre Warren P-12.

“She’ll keep doing the community service and social worker path, she’s been through a lot in her life and she has a lot to share,” Emma said.

“She’s been through enough and she’s got a lot to give to that kind of work in the community.”

Jess Bainbridge, Riyani’s best friend since primary school, was expecting the 16-year-old at her house on the night of the crash, but she never arrived.

In the five years following, Jess and Casey have become inseparable.

“Casey’s amazed me with how far she’s gotten, I’ve seen her grow up and not even be able to walk and now she’s just perfect,” Jess said.

“I see how good she takes things in life; she looks at things so differently, without us even knowing. She shines so bright.”

It’s a sentiment echoed by Casey’s mum.

“Just to know that she’s getting her own individual personality going, her own reputation at the school, and with Anthony at the office.

“It’s just good seeing her starting to stand on her own two feet a bit more,” Emma said.

“She’s got a good guardian angel I think, helping her along.”

EMMA Lowen calls them the “waking hours”.

The early morning period after midnight when she stays awake in bed, re-living the Lynbrook car crash that claimed the life of her 16-year-old daughter, Riyani.

“It’s mainly just thinking about where she would be now,” Emma said.

“What kind of person she would be, what she would be doing with her life, because she was only just starting out.”

It was five years on Saturday since Riyani was killed in the crash, a two-car collision at the intersection of Hallam and Ormond road that occurred on 28 June, 2009 at 1.30am, also claiming the lives of fellow Narre Warren South P-12 College student Anja Miller, 15, and friend Joel Brimble, 19.

“We sort of just stayed inside and ignored the world really,” Emma said of the anniversary.

“It seems like yesterday but at the same time it feels like ages ago that it happened.

“Casey just turned 18 and I turned 40 earlier on in the year and Riyani would have turned 21 so it was kind of a big year.”

Casey is Riyani’s little sister and the two were inseparable. Born 15 weeks prematurely, and weighing one pound, Casey suffers from cerebral palsy and has had to endure the last five years without her childhood companion.

“There were little things that me and her shared that no-one else did,” Casey said this week.

“That’s what I miss.”

Last month Casey was one of eight VCAL students from Narre Warren P-12 up on stage with Education Minister Martin Dixon after being formally recognised by the State Government.

The group had just won the VCAL state team achievement award at the foundation level after designing and constructing a

Dr Ruddock said it was now deemed strange when mourning wasn’t made public.

THE South East Try a Trade and Careers Expo took a hands-on approach, giving students a taste of a vast range of career paths.

Held on Tuesday at the Cranbourne Turf Club, more than 1650 students from Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong visited the expo.

The 55 exhibits all had something interactive for the students to try, from bricklaying and glazing to cake decorating and ice-cream making.

Berwick College student Lauren tried her hand at airbrushing at the stall from Airbrush Venturi.

While the murders of mother of four Fiona Warzywoda in Sunshine and young Luke Batty at Tyabb attracted an avalanche of media coverage and an outpouring of community grief, the equally violent death of a young woman in Doveton’s industrial neighbourhood has been largely forgotten.

Rani Featherston, 34, was assaulted and murdered in Lace Street off Eumemmering Creek earlier this by month. Her body was discovered employees from a nearby factory as around 7am on Wednesday 2 April, they made their way to work.

The Victorian Oromo Community Association was established in 1984

by African refugees from these areas, with a majority fleeing Ethiopia in the late 1970s to escape dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam’s ‘Red Terror’ campaign and the violence that ensued.

Mr Kufi, a primary school teacher in Ethiopia who was forced to flee the country with his wife and niece in 1987, said many Oromo people had their traditional values distorted while confined to a refugee camp as he was, and cited respect for women as a cultural necessity that often needed to be re-emphasised.

“That is a focus, when they (Oromo people) lived in refugee camps sometimes they lose respect for culture and are reorientated with different cultures,” he said.

“When people run away because of war they feel disgraced.

“The younger generation is in a different corner, there’s always a gap here with young people who have grown up in Australia and getting them to understand issues about the Oromo community, a very peaceful community.”

Mr Kufi said it was this concern for children’s safety going forward that saw the Victorian Oromo community first engage with the Challenge Family Violence campaign 12 months ago, with their leaders attending various roundtable discussions on the issue since.

Challenge Family Violence is a three-year partnership project between the three local governments of Casey, Cardinia Shire and Greater Dandenong and funded by the Department of Justice to address the high rates of gendered violence in the region.

LEADERS of an African refugee community that places emphasis on respecting its female members have reaffirmed their support for the campaign against family violence in the City of Casey.

Representatives from the Oromo Community Association in Victoria gathered at the council’s Narre Warren chambers on Saturday night to hold a landmark event, highlighting the contribution of Oromo women to society, in recognition of the City of Casey’s Challenge Family Violence campaign and Refugee Week.

More than 100 people - two thirds of them men - attended the inaugural conference, organised by Oromo volunteer co-ordinator and Challenge mentor Marama Kufi, to discuss female empowerment, the need for respectful relationships between men and women and the Oromo community’s ongoing campaign for equality.

Renowned Oromo and women’s rights advocates Likkee Gose and Sinke Wesho, who were once refugees, were keynote speakers at Saturday’s event.

“It’s the first time this was held in the City of Casey, and also the first time we brought in the Challenge Family Violence ideas, relating it to our culture and how to maintain respect for gender,” Mr Kufi said.

“We had the opportunity of using Refugee Week and reorganising the event to include the family violence messages as well.

“Our Oromo community has its own cultural background, putting a focus on respecting women and gender, so we need to re-exercise this traditional respect into the broader community.”

The Oromo people are an ethnic group inhabiting Ethiopia, northern Kenya and parts of Somalia in the Horn of Africa.

THE Lang Lang Show is on Saturday 17 January.

There will be a full program of horse events including showjumping, flat riding, Shetland ponies, the majestic Clydesdales, miniature ponies and stockhorses just to name a few, with pre-entry for all horse events, except the fun ring.

The Beef Cattle Spectacular is always a great success and well worth a look.

There is a poultry competition and the dog show is always well attended, with many breeds competing for the title of champion.

The pavilion will once again be filled with art, photography, craft, cookery and produce.

The Lang Lang Young Personality competition is on again this year.

It is open to girls and boys aged three to 16,.

It’s free to enter, so come along on the day and maybe win a prize.

There will be a vegetable stall laden with fresh produce donated straight from the local market gardens with all proceeds going to the Kooweerup Hospital Ladies Auxiliary.

As an added incentive to bring the kids along, this year there will be a free magic show by Scott Stunz.

Scott will also be roaming around between shows and handing out balloon sculptures.

He entertains adults and children and should be lots of fun!

There will be face painting, an animal nursery, pony rides, showbags and assorted rides, among other things, to keep the kids entertained.

One lucky boy or girl will win a BMX bike and helmet in the lucky gate prize.

Every child will get a free ticket to the draw but they must be present at the draw at 2pm to collect the prize.

With something for everyone, from showbags to showjumping, the Lang Lang Show will be held at the Lang Lang Showgrounds in Westernport Road, Lang Lang. For more information visit www.langlangshow.org or phone Cheryl Berry on 5997 5006.

FROM PAGE 1.

A RELAXED air of timeless character fills this muchloved family home.

A picture perfect scene from every window will leave you breathless as you wander around this superb property that could easily be adapted to a Bed and Breakfast (subject to council approval).

The main home features a masterful blend of period features and modern enhancements such as hardwood timber flooring, an array of top quality appliances, quality drapes and blinds and tasteful light fittings.

The spacious kitchen is centrally located and well appointed and complemented by the use of natural timbers and granite.

This kitchen will make you want to cook up a storm every time family and friends pop over.

When it comes to living areas this home has it all - a very relaxed formal lounge and what can only be described as a phenomenal sized rumpus room that opens out onto a large decked area, makes this home fantastic for a large family who love living a rich lifestyle.

The sleeping accommodation is well proportioned, with the master featuring ensuite and walk-in robe and the other two bedrooms have built-in robes.

On top of this there is a charming selfcontained one-bedroom cottage that is fully equipped with its own kitchen, bathroom and living area, ideal for extended family or a B&B. Add another studio or two-bedroom bungalow as well as a large shed and superbly manicured extensive lawn areas with mature trees make this property a diamond opportunity.

This kind of opportunity rarely presents itself, so call now to book an appointment to secure this first-class prospect.

ENZO RAIMONDO CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

RENOVATE OR RELOCATE HAS ITS PROS AND CONS WHEN your kids are demanding their own bedrooms, that old-fashioned kitchen is getting on your nerves or your house needs a major overhaul, a difficult decision awaits - to renovate or relocate.

Renovating an existing home offers the chance to create the house you want in the location you know and like.

It avoids upheavals such as changing children’s schools or settling into a new community.

But the difficulties are obvious - the disruption, the need to temporarily rent or live in a building site, the expense and potential for cost overruns, the work involved in planning

permissions, design and project management.

Buying a new home may seem easier but it brings its own challenges, not least of which is finding the ideal home in your preferred location.

As well, it entails selling your existing home for the right price and co-ordinating moving from one to the other, preferably without renting in the interim.

Start by asking yourself what you want most - is it to stay in your current location and to to live in a home which meets all your requirements and fulfils the wish list you have been compiling for all those years?

If the answer is yes, ask yourself whether all the downsides of a major renovation - from potentially months with no kitchen and/or bathroom to choosing everything from light fittings to drawer handles - are worth it to achieve your location and dream home goals.

If you decide that the end result is worth it, start interviewing architects to obtain costs for your renovation and ensure that what you want is achievable with the funds you have.

Thoroughly analyse your finances, including meeting with your bank manager and accountant, to ensure you can raise

DISPLAY & LAND

those funds, plus contingency.

It is also time to talk to a local real estate agent to ensure you will not be overcapitalising your home.

If the cost of your renovation will take the amount spent on your home above the ceiling price for homes in your area, it may be time to rethink.

Even if you plan to stay long term, assuming you will eventually be in profit, overcapitalising is not a good idea. Sometimes selling unexpectedly is necessary and if the house is overcapitalised, you may lose money. If you think the upheaval of a renovation is not justified, or you are undecided about it, an estate agent can help.

It’s an architect designed home ofering afordable luxury, space and light and a range of innovative features.

The sun court, for instance, actually increases the usable interior space and floods the living areas with light. Or as the judges said: “A very open home that gives the impression it is bigger than it actually is.

“Excellent workmanship, attention to detail and a feeling of spaciousness.” – HIA Judges

You can sense the diference immediately with generously proportioned spaces that flow together naturally to create vistas and extended views with picture windows usually only found in more expensive homes.

The high level of luxury inclusions also caught the eye of the judges who said the Caesarstone benches, Franke sinks and Smeg appliances “represent value for money”.

The overall style and elegance of this four bedroom home is typified by the raised ceiling above the dining area.

Visit the Milan today – and judge for yourself.

Students again on uni honours board

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A CRANBOURNE high school has won a prestigious university competition for the second year in a row.

Cranbourne East Secondary College was crowned the winner of the 2014 Monash University Casey Challenge event in December, having also claimed the honours in 2013.

Now in its second year, the challenge provides Year 9 and 10 students from across Casey with the opportunity to experience university life by attending lectures, touring the grounds and working on assignments at Monash’s Berwick campus.

This year more than 80 students took part in the initiative from schools including Alkira, Cranbourne East, Narre Warren South P-12 and Maranatha Secondary Colleges.

Mayor Mick Morland congratulated the Cranbourne East Secondary College students who claimed the top prize for their assignment project.

“The judges commended Cranbourne East for their creativity, in-depth research and great teamwork to produce a

great assignment,” he said.

“The winning students were presented with gift cards and a perpetual cup, which will reside with the winning school for the next year.”

Cr Morland said the awards ceremony was held to celebrate the challenge program’s success.

“In conjunction with Monash University, the City of Casey designed this program to provide further opportunities for young people to explore pathways into tertiary education,” he said.

“Students in this region have significantly lower levels of tertiary education than greater Melbourne and this project was designed to expose students to what university would be like in the hope of raising their aspiration levels.

“This program is especially beneficial for students who may not have considered university as an option for them and now see it as a future goal.”

The challenge ran for six weeks and students were able to experience university life with the help of tertiary students.

A TREACHEROUS bridge in Narre Warren which has been judged too dangerous to drive on has been temporarily closed.

The City of Casey has closed the Troups Creek bridge crossing at Fox Road in Narre Warren North, between Leech Court and Roy Close, in the interest of community safety.

It will remain closed until further notice.

Casey Mayor Mick Morland said the bridge had been shut as a “precaution to motorists” following the “recent deterioration of the road and bridge”.

“Council has inspected the bridge and significant repairs are required,” he said.

“As a result, the bridge crossing will need to remain closed until the necessary works are complete, to ensure public safety.

“Rectification works are still at the design stage and it is too early to advise when the road will re-open.”

Mayor Morland said the council will estimate a completion timeframe for the bridge once the new design had been finalised.

“While council is working to re-open the road as soon as possible, the safety of road users remains council’s number one priority,” he said.

“We apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused and we will continue to keep you updated on the progress of these works and how long the road will be closed.”

For further information, contact the City of Casey Customer Service on 9705 5200.

Great prize on route EYE-CATCHING buses have been in and around Berwick and Narre Warren over the past three months showcasing the latest on offer at Barry Bourke Holden.

They definitely stood out and for one lucky person, seeing that bus was the best thing that could happen.

Back in September Barry Bourke announced the start of its exclusive campaign where customers who purchased a new or demo Holden between 22 September and 22 December would go into the draw to win $5000 cash.

On 23 December the prize was drawn at the Barry Bourke Holden showroom in Berwick, just in time for Christmas and the winner was announced - the very lucky Ellyse Noy from Upper Beaconsfield.

Ellyse Noy, a 20-year-old animal and

veterinary bio-science university student accepted the prize, which was handed over by Barry Bourke Motors friend Brian Lake on 23 December.

“I have a HECS debt to pay off so this amazing prize will help me immensely, thank you so much Barry Bourke!” Ellyse said.

She purchased a new Holden Trax LS from Barry Bourke Holden in November and was thrilled when she received the phone call.

Ellyse saw the buses around town and was in the market for a new vehicle so she logged onto the Barry Bourke website to find out more about the offer, and gave Barry Bourke Holden the first opportunity to give her a great deal.

That was the best move she could make.

Noy family members are long-term repeat customers of Barry Bourke Holden and now have an even bigger reason to stick around.

This is the first campaign of its kind that Barry Bourke Motors has run and with such huge success.

New Vehicle Sales Manager Andrew Saad was thrilled at the response of the campaign, and to see the prize go to such a worthy winner.

“It’s great to see such a genuine, excited winner and to know this will help her further her career towards such a great cause is even better,” he said.

Stay up to date and be notified of upcoming offers or competitions like this by liking Barry Bourke Holden on Facebook, www. facebook.com/barrybourkeholden.

THERE have been a lot of new and exciting changes and improvements to the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit lately so it’s time to revisit and rediscover what’s new.

Now more than ever it’s a destination for the whole family with many hours of entertainment and enjoyment on offer.

All new single and tandem karts.

Karting at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit has blasted through the rev limiter for both speed and fun with 27 all new French made SODI RT8 karts.

Circuit managing director Fergus Cameron searched worldwide to source the best karts and settled on the highly regarded SODI Racing Company in Nantes in France.

“These are no ordinary karts.

Each has a price tag in excess of $8000. SODI are the Ferrari of the karting world, and we went with them to ensure our fans enjoyed the best karting experience possible,” Mr Cameron said.

“In addition to the single karts we have just taken delivery of nine tandem karts. These new matching tandem karts are equipped with dual controls so the kids don’t miss out and can participate in the full interactive karting experience which they haven’t been able to do before.”

Push bike ride days are back for summer “This has proved very popular over previous school holidays with a wide range of people and groups taking advantage of a unique experience,” Mr Cameron said.

“We had family groups, older riders, serious riders, fitness fanatics and riding clubs.

The track can accommodate all these groups together because it is extremely safe with no cars, it’s wide enough for passing

and challenging for the fitness fanatics because of its sweeping straights and long demanding undulations. You won’t break any lap records on the 4.5 kilometre circuit however you will enjoy the safest and most picturesque location to ride your push bike on Phillip Island,” he said.

The next ride is today, from 6pm to 8pm. There is no need to book, just turn up 30 minutes prior to the session at the visitors centre to purchase a ticket with your own bike and helmet.

All new history of motorsport After a complete renovation, the History of Motorsport showcases the dawn of motorsport on Phillip Island commencing with the very first Australian grand prix in 1928 through to present day racing.

The display has many articles, images and racing vehicles that will capture your imagination.

All new slot cars As part of the renovation process, the GP slot cars were also redeveloped and now provide the best fun for all ages.

Race your family or your mates and experience the fun on Australia’s largest four-lane GP slot car track.

All new race simulators Test your skills or challenge your mates to a simulated race on the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Go flat out down Gardner Straight, through ultra-fast Doohan Corner, slide through Stoner, thread your way through Siberia and slipstream up the back straight. Watch out for the hairpin at the bottom of Lukey Heights. Who will get the bragging rights?

Super-Fast Hot Laps For the adrenalin junkies how about three heart pumping “Hot Laps” in a race prepared vehicle. Our resident race car driver will get your heart started

with lift off and road hugging turns that defy gravity as you “white knuckle” it and carve an impression on the rugged cliffs surrounded by sapphire seas.

Guided circuit tours Follow in the footsteps of racing superstars on a daily guided circuit tour featuring a MotoGP sound simulation and access to exclusive and restricted areas such as the control tower, media centre, pit roof, and of course that hero photo opportunity on the winner’s podium. Wander into the rich past the circuit has to offer.

Tranquil water gardens, inspired by the former race car driver and previous owner of the circuit Len Lukey lead you through to the viewing mound capturing some of the most unique and invigorating panoramic views of the circuit and Bass Strait.

Champions’ Bar and licenced cafe After all the excitement, Champion’s Bar and Cafe has all the answers with its fresh menu with plenty of choices.

The coffee served is second to none and the cafe prides itself on delicious and decedent home-made cakes, slices, muffins, pastries, sausage rolls and pies. However if you are hungry you can’t go past our famous “champions hamburger” made from the very best beef and served with home-made relish and thick cut chips.

The gift shop at the Visitor Centre has a wide selection of stylish apparel, merchandise and souvenirs to choose from so you can take a memento home with you.

The opportunity was provided

by McDonald’s which, in December, held its Mac Pack Cricket Super Clinic in Melbourne, a junior sporting initiative that aims to encourage children to lead a healthy lifestyle through sport.

Promising junior cricketers Lachlan Rechsteiner and Aaryamann Sikri from Cranbourne

and Rohan Menon from Lynbrook had the chance to meet Australian cricketing great Matthew Hayden at the clinic.

McDonald’s Cranbourne North licensee Ian Seal said the clinic was a great opportunity for the kids.

“The Mac Pack Cricket Super clinic is a great way to engage kids with cricket and encourage them to lead an active and healthy lifestyle through sport,” he said.

Children between six and 12 were able to win a place at the competition.

�� All smiles as Maroons cause a boilover Page 68

Coach laps up the challenge

By JARROD POTTER A DECADE in to his time as Casey TigerSharks Swimming Club’s head coach Ben Hiddlestone is still striving to reach the next level and push the club even further.

Arriving at the City of Casey based swimming club in December 2004, Hiddlestone from Berwick has become a mainstay in Victorian swimming circles ever since and helped cultivate one of the strongest programs in the state.

He knows a thing or two about coaching longevity having learned the craft under his mentor Miami Swimming Club’s (Queensland) coach Denis Cotterell who is about to notch his 40th year at the club.

From when he started, a club without much state level success let alone international representation, the TigerSharks have blossomed under Hiddlestone’s guidance to now boasts 170 swimmers in its midst from six-yearolds through to Olympic and Commonwealth Games representatives.

Hiddlestone was pleased to accomplish the milestone and see the club develop in both results and mem-

bership through the past decade.

“It was really good - it was around December (10 year anniversary) I think it was so just a couple of weeks ago,” Hiddlestone said.

“It’s been great journey, I suppose, and I did feel it was a big milestone and it was a big deal just personally and internally that you stay somewhere for 10 years.

“You also have some results and seeing swimmers grow and your club going through issues and you survive those, so it has a bit of an effect at the end of it.”

The three defining moments that stand out to the TigerSharks coach across his time at the helm have been Matson Lawson earning a place on the London 2012 Olympic Games team - the first TigerShark to make an international senior team - Josh Beaver earning three medals at last year’s Commonwealth Games and the creation of the Casey RACE swimming pool and the effect it is having on the Cranbourne area and its swimmers.

“Putting Matson on the Olympic team - that was a big deal for me as a coach,” Hiddlestone said.

“The second one was Beaver’s results at the Commonwealth Games his three medals - as he was one of the only kids that were at the club when I got there 10 years ago.

“Then the new pool at Casey RACE - I got there when the old Cranbourne pool next to the racetrack was still going and they built Casey ARC then maybe thinking about building the pool in Cranbourne.

“Getting that up and running three or four years ago that has really changed the club as well.”

The growth of the club has enabled Hiddlestone to stay in the suburbs and not pursue opportunities at one of the inner city clubs and create a program the metropolitan teams would envy.

“As coaches grow, if the Casey TigerSharks didn’t have the lane space for me to have an elite program, I probably would have moved into one of the city clubs,” Hiddlestone said.

“But it just so happens that the work that I’ve done and the club has done has enabled the club to grow at the same rate and can offer a little kiddies program and a big, elite program which allows me to stay and grow

Ben Hiddlestone, centre, pictured here with Josh Beaver, left, and Matson Lawson recently celebrated 10 years as Casey TigerSharks swimming head coach.

Picture: SUPPLIED here as well.”

The future for Hiddlestone is to keep pushing the next generation of Australian elite swimmers through and hopefully generate enough international success to enable the Casey TigerSharks to become a Swimming Australia Podium centre - the highest

funding and support level from the national body.

For now it’s back to the pool-deck for early sessions as Hiddlestone and the TigerSharks prepare for the Swimming Victoria Open Championships which are to be held at MSAC from 16 to 18 January.

Ex-Eagle just wants to love it

By DAVID NAGEL

Former West Coast Eagle Ashley Smith will play for the Berwick Football Club in the inaugural South East Football League season in 2015.

133021

Picture: WEST COAST EAGLES

DELISTED West Coast Eagle Ash Smith is simply looking forward to enjoying his footy again after signing with the Berwick Football Club for 2015.

A Berwick junior from age 12, the 24-year-old midfielder has returned home after six years with the Eagles where he played 45 games before being delisted at the end of the 2014 season.

Smith said he was excited about the move home and the opportunity to play footy again without coping with the relentless pressure associated with being an AFL player.

“I’m pretty excited about going back to Berwick to be honest,” the 36 draft pick in the 2008 National Draft said.

“For me now, after being in the AFL system for quite a few years it’s about fun and just getting back to enjoying my footy again. To play with blokes like Madi Andrews, who I’ve played with in the past, and to play

against a few other blokes that I know from around the area is going to be very enjoyable.”

Smith said he had no ambition to get back into the cut and thrust of AFL football and would instead concentrate on helping the Wickers improve on last year’s fourth placing.

“No not really, I just think people don’t understand how much you go through and how demanding it is to be an AFL player these days,” he said.

“I trained with Richmond in the off-season and I could have gone and played at VFL level, but I’ll be 25 by the next draft and there are no guarantees at that age. This wasn’t always in the plan, but in the end it just felt right to come back. Bruce Andrews approached me shortly after I was delisted and it just seemed like the perfect fit.

“Berwick’s a club that has always been around the mark but just can’t quite get across the line. They’re all good guys at the club and at the age where we should really be setting our

sights high.”

The former Dandenong Stingray said he was also looking forward to working with senior coach Rhys Nisbet to develop the club’s core group of youngsters.

“I’ve only spoken with Rhys a couple of times but from that I can already tell he’s very keen, very dedicated and very enthusiastic about getting the best out of the group, particularly the younger players,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to that development side of things as well, and teaching the young blokes what’s required and how hard you have to train if you want to get the best out of yourself.

“There are some things you just can’t learn or appreciate until you’ve been at an AFL club and I’m Iooking forward to passing some of those things on to the youngsters.”

Ash’s brother Aaron, who Ash describes as a really talented player who hasn’t played for a while, will also join the club.

Sport John Wise, pictured centre with Australian cricketer Meg Lanning, left, and Gabrielle Williams MP, right, was celebrated

by Cricket Victoria as part of the Volunteer Recognition Breakfast at the MCG last month.

132858

Picture: CRICKET VICTORIA

Wise words bring award

By JARROD POTTER LOVE of cricket runs deeply within John Wise.

Wise, 53, from Berwick Springs is virtually inseparable from the cricket ovals around the state each summer and throws himself into any role to help his beloved clubs Berwick Springs and formerly Salesian Old Boys - become stronger.

This passion for chipping in and ensuring the next generation flourishes earned him Cricket Victoria recognition as one of 20 volunteers at the Boxing Day Test for his contributions to the summer sport.

“It’s a huge honour - you don’t do it for the recognition or for an award like that,” Wise said. “For me I’ve got a lot out of cricket - playing at two clubs Salesian Old Boys and Berwick Springs - and in 40-odd years involvement in club cricket I’ve just enjoyed every minute of it.

“To be recognised is a big thrill and I was just blown away - I just love the involvement in the game, love being around the club and I think it’s good for young people to be involved in the club environment.”

No matter where he’s gone in life, since 12 years old, Wise has always been drawn a cricket club nearby and wouldn’t have it any other way.

He played most of his career

at Salesian Old Boys Cricket Club in Chadstone but the bowling all-rounder shifted to Berwick Springs and signed up with the Titans soon after.

After 36 years at Salesian Old Boys, the shift to Berwick Springs has been just as joyous for the Wise family - his wife Anne Maree, son Sam and daughter Antonia.

As all great volunteers usually are, the long-time cricket administrator/coach/player is particularly humble about his achievements, but there are a lot of stellar achievements on his resume.

“I play a small part in Berwick Springs,” Wise said.

“There are a lot of great people in Berwick Springs and I was fortunate enough to receive the award and I’m absolutely stoked - it’s great to have this recognition across two clubs I hold dearly.

“Both clubs are fantastic and I’ve made some great friendships through cricket and that’s one thing the young people will definitely get out of team sport as those friendships stay for life.”

Wise will look back fondly on his role helping Berwick Springs receive a turf wicket upgrade to Berwick Springs Reserve, allowing the Titans for the first time in 2015/16 to compete in the Dandenong Dis-

trict Cricket Association’s turf divisions.

Another proud achievement in his coaching career was guiding Hawthorn-Monash Women’s Cricket Club to a premiership and also one for Berwick Springs - the club’s first flag - in 2011/12.

He also thinks cultivating the next generation of Titans talent is just as important for the departing president.

“My main goal - the goal with the club - would be to get a turf wicket put in the reserve,” Wise said.

“That was my mission and to make sure we got that turf wicket and with a lot of assistance from the City of Casey they’ve made a dream of the club come true.

“We’ll have a turf wicket to play on next year and that will help keep our kids at the club and that’s what I want to see.”

He had to step aside from the Berwick Springs CC presidency to devote more time to his family and his business Universal Cleaning Group - but rest assured he will never be far away from the sport he loves.

Wise can be found most weekends in the blue and green Titan colours or out in the centre wearing the whites as he fills in wherever he can in the Berwick Springs’ D, E or F Grade teams.

Endeavour Hills collapses after top order struggles

By JARROD POTTER Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association South East 1st XI Round 8 (One day) ENDEAVOUR Hills (150) did not fare well in its four-wicket loss to Box Hill (6/152) as the top order collapsed.

The wickets fell rapidly on the slow deck at Sydney Pargeter Reserve as the Eagles’ top order fell to 6/56.

Ben Swift (17) toiled to stay at the crease and struggled to get his cut shot working.

However he had the benefit of luck from a couple of French cuts and top edges.

Similar work from Justin Merlino (15) to hold on kept a true collapse from unfolding

before the duo succumbed.

Swift’s innings would draw to a close off Robert Fortington (3/22), leaving the work up to the lower order.

The Eagles found plenty of life in the tail as Vaughan Baxter (30), Richard Saniga (28) and captain Chris Pereira (14) eked out a 150 par-score on a bleak day.

Endeavour Hills made the Mustangs fight for every run as an inspired knock from Gaurav Parikh (85) proved the difference between the sides.

Parikh singlehandedly took on the Eagles’ attack as Periera (2/20) and Alastair Christy (1/30) toiled valiantly.

Parikh fell to Christy with 10 left to notch but the Mustangs’ lower order completed

the task with three overs to spare.

Noble Park now leaps into the top six with the win, displacing Endeavour Hills which slide down to seventh.

Heavy rain on Friday and the predicted poor forecast forced the postponement of the remaining Dandenong area fixtures including the Dandenong District Cricket Association’s turf grades and Victorian Premier Cricket for the men’s and women’s competitions.

The DDCA has rescheduled its Round 7 one-day clashes to Sunday 15 February from noon while Victorian Premier Cricket will adjust its Round 13 matches into onedayers this weekend.

Wannabes stake a claim

By DAVID NAGEL

UPPER Beaconsfield (0/106) has produced the upset of the West Gippsland Premier Division season, crushing premiership fancy Tooradin (105) by 10 wickets at Upper Beaconsfield on Saturday.

The Maroons’ eyebrow raising performance has kept the top-flight season alive, with Pakenham joining them as teams outside the top four still searching for a finals berth.

Maroons skipper Chris Savage threw the newball to off-spinner Rob North and the momentum immediately swung the Maroons’ way.

Sure, they didn’t get wickets immediately, but North (0/9 off 3), Jayden Joyce (2/24 off 6) and 15-year-old gun Chad McDonald (1/9 off 4) gave their skipper exactly what he had asked for.

“It was all about not letting blokes like Huss (Tom Hussey) get away from us early,” Savage said.

“We didn’t get a wicket until they were 24 but, to tell you the truth, they never looked comfortable and I was really impressed with the way our boys bowled.”

And the wickets soon came, Joyce, McDonald, Tommy Tyrrell (2/22 off 8) and Will Haines (2/14 off 7) combining to devastate the visitors who lost 7/36 in a rare display of vulnerability.

Rain reschedule HEAVY rain on Friday and the predicted poor forecast forced the postponement of Dandenong District Cricket Association’s turf grades and Victorian Premier Cricket for the men’s and women’s competitions on Saturday.

The DDCA has rescheduled its Round 7 oneday clashes to Sunday 15 February from noon while Victorian Premier Cricket will adjust its round 13 matches into one-dayers this weekend.

The VMCU Under 21 Neil Wright Shield semi-final match between the DDCA and the Eastern Cricket Association will now take place at Casey Fields No 3 this Sunday, 18 January, commencing at 11am.

Emerald skipper AJ Walker carves one through point during his innings of 36 against Pakenham on Saturday. 132891 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Ross Douglas (21) and Jarred Thompson (13) did some repair work on the innings, but that was unstitched by Kyle Gibbs (3/13 off 5) who claimed the last three wickets to fall.

Regular opener North (26 not out) was then joined by Tyrrell (64 not out) and they produced the most surprising century partnership of the season, pulverising the Seagulls’ attack to reverse the result of a round six drubbing.

“We had a massive point to prove after what they did to us last time, just like we will have against Cardinia next week, so it was great to see the boys respond the way they did,” Savage said.

“I definitely think we’re good enough to win four of our next five games.”

Pakenham (2/83) slaughtered Emerald (82) at Toomuc Reserve.

The Lions could hardly have been more impressive, with Russ Lehman (3/5), Shannon Mitchell (3/25) and Jack Ryan (2/22) bowling beautifully, before Chris Smith (41 not out) and Bradey Welsh (29) completed the most clinical of victories.

The win sets up one of the games of the season this Saturday, where the Lions take on Merinda Park under lights at Toomuc Reserve in a replay of last year’s thriller that ended in a tie.

Stand-in skipper Jack Anning said there was still much to look forward to for the Lions after their most impressive win for the season.

“It makes for an exciting finish, doesn’t it,” Anning said after Saturday’s win.

“We’ve got Merinda Park, then Cardinia, which will be a really tough game, then Beaconsfield and Upper Beaconsfield and then we finish off with Kooweerup.

There’s no doubt we’ve put ourselves in a tough position but we’d back ourselves to win all of those games if we can produce our best cricket, and that’s what we need to do if we want to play finals.”

Cardinia (154) continued its dominant season, remaining unbeaten and putting Merinda Park (128) back in its place with a 26-run win at Gunton Oval.

The experienced trio of Neil Barfuss (53),

Simon Parrott (29) and Ben Darose (21) led the charge with the bat for the Bulls against a Dylan Cuthbertson (4/28) inspired Cobras’ attack.

Cuthbertson (59 not out) then played a lone hand as Dean Henwood (3/10 off 8) and Barfuss (3/18 off 6) produced another near perfect display with the cherry.

Reigning champs Kooweerup (127) survived a scare against the winless Beaconsfield (105) at Perc Allison Oval.

Matt Davey (43) and Dananja Madushanka (18 not out) rescued the Demons from a precarious 6/40, after Shameera Weerasinghe (3/25 off 8) and Richard Gault (3/21 off 5) had done the early damage.

The Demons' bowling is spot on at the moment and Ron Bright Jr (3/19 off 6.3), John Bright (2/16 off 8) and Davey (2/20 off 8) shook their team free of danger to chalk up their fifth win on the trot.

Weerasinghe (27) and Brett Monagle (22) almost had the Tigers across the line... but just lacked support.

Rebels without a clue

By JARROD POTTER WGCA District and Sub-District review - Round 9 (one-day) THE billing for Pakenham Upper/ Toomuc (8/129) versus Cranbourne Meadows (128) did not live up to its billing as the Yabbies stormed through the Rebels’ batting order.

Another instalment of the Shannon Marum (64) show entertained the crowd as he went the tonk and tried to deposit a few balls onto Pakenham Road.

His cavalier 64 helped add 87 for the fourth scalp with captain Brent Murdoch (25) before the collapse set in and left the Rebels defending a slender score.

It would not be an easy chase for the Yabbies - suffering their own middle order slump - but the work of Darren Warne (46) in tandem with Josh Noonan (21) and Stephen Boltong (19) started the innings off in style.

From 100 to 120, six Yabbies’ wickets fell as Jason Poole (3/27) and John Emery (2/21) started to latch on.

The last ditch effort of Kyval (13no) saw off the last few runs to eke out the two wicket win.

Three losses on the trot have the Rebels free-falling from first to fifth and they will need to bounce back against Nar Nar Goon/Maryknoll this weekend.

DEVON Meadows (156) is all but done in the race for finals after ca-

pitulating against Clyde (7/218) on Sunday.

As Clyde belted 7/218 from its 40 overs John Simpson (40) and Bradley Birkhead (42) picked up the pieces after Gav Adams (0) fell to Adam Newstead (1/28) early on.

The Panthers struggled to break the partnerships and halt the Cougars racking up a strong tally.

Dave Denton (38) and captain Kyle Brooke (37) iced the job to push Clyde past 200 and create more headaches for Lucas Carroll and his men to mitigate before the Meadows fell to the might of Pat Lawson (5/33) in response, despite the best efforts of Panthers captain Lucas Carroll (50) in tandem with Kyle Salerno (24) and Bryce Ingram (24).

Second place Clyde will head to St Francis Xavier while seventh placed Devon Meadows is off to Officer.

A SLOW outfield didn’t stop Lyndhurst Vikings (9/163) piling up a sizeable win over St Francis Xavier (79) and taking the top of the ladder.

The ground soaked up the week’s rain and it was as slow as a snail race - forcing Lyndhurst to run plenty of hard run twos and threes to make any inroads.

Mark Henry (72) feasted best out of the Lyndhurst order as he raced to his third half-ton in 2014/15 and past 300 runs for the season.

Peppered the Vikings were Chris

The only man to savour the conditions at St Francis Xavier Oval on Saturday was Lyndhurst number three Mark Henry, who notched up 72. 132888 Picture: JARROD POTTER Shepherdson (2/24), Dom Ciconte (2/28) and Todd Roscoe (2/35), who all kept things tidy.

The response was short and brutal for the X-Men as they succumbed rapidly.

Nick Macdonald - three wickets - led the rampage before Aaron Straughair - two wickets - and Ammar Bajwa - four wickets - cleaned up the X-Men tail to finish off the bottom placed side in 23 overs.

St Francis Xavier will host Clyde while top of the table Lyndhurst Vikings head up the hill to Pakenham Upper/Toomuc.

IN SUB-DISTRICT cricket, Clyde’s (124) modest tally was more than enough to dispatch Nyora (61).

It was set up through Joel Avard (57) who claimed his second half century of the season to bat out the overs under pressure from Nyora’s new recruit Chris Simmons (4/21).

There wasn’t much to smile

about in reply as the Maroons coughed and spluttered to 61.

The win keeps Clyde in the hunt to stay in Sub-District next year (as Nyora’s first team can’t be relegated under usual WGCA rules), with the Cougars now 18 points behind Emerald with five rounds remaining and will host Pakenham on Saturday.

CARDINIA (50) suffered at the hands of Tooradin (141) - with the Seagulls swooping on the Bulls at any opportunity.

Aaron Creasey (38) and Michael Ralph (32) kept the tempo up for the home side to push towards a reasonable target.

In response Cardinia was devastated by the likes of Tom Bethune taking 4/6 off six overs, while Brenton Adams (3/14) and Tim Lenders (2/12) slaughtered the rest of the Bulls. Second ranked Tooradin hosts Nyora this week while fifth placed Cardinia hosts Lang Lang.

�� Reviews and news…

Big boots to fill, eh brah!

By EWAN KENNEDY REMEMBER when utes were just that, utility vehicles? Cargo carriers with a sedan front end and a big tray behind into which lots of stuff could be stuffed.

Some still do use their utes in the old fashioned way, to cart things, but many are now bought as large sportscars with extraordinary large boots.

Utes, such as the Holden SV6 Ute that spent time in our driveway last week, are increasingly popular with ‘the boys’ and sometimes girls as well.

Many external styling changes to the VF Ute distinguish it from the VE Ute it supersedes.

The new front gives it a stockier look, partly because the bonnet has been raised to incorporate pedestrian protection but also to follow the global General Motors latest design theme.

Although it’s built on the same platform as the VE Commodore, about 60 per cent of chassis components have been either modified or replaced.

The use of an aluminium bonnet has trimmed a bit off the mass of the Ute, but it’s still a large hefty vehicle.

While the VF sedan has significantly different styling at the rear, the Ute and station wagon remain much the same as before.

Changes to the interior are extensive and give the VF Commodore a fresh, modern look.

Striking frontal shape of Holden SV6 Ute puts it deeply into the sports-ute category.

The centrepiece is the large, easyto-read eight-inch colour touchscreen with well-spaced controls that are big enough to avoid hitting two-buttons at the same time.

Visibility outwards is still marred by the wide A-pillars that we have been complaining about since the launch of the VE Commodore.

Some alterations have been made to the trim to try and cure this.

Slimming the underlying metal was going to be expensive so we will have to live with the need to move our heads about to negate the blind spots created by those big pillars.

The awkward handbrake we found irritating in the VE Commodore for so many years has finally been replaced by a small electric unit in the centre

console, it’s so much easier to use.

The big VF Commodore Ute lopes along with a minimum of fuss and makes light of coarse-chip road surfaces that can rattle even the most expensive Europeans.

It deals with corrugated dirt tracks as though they’re barely there.

The phrase ‘built tough for Australia’ is an oldie but a goodie.

On the open road the interior of the Commodore is noticeably quieter than before and there are times when you forget you’re driving a commercial vehicle because it feels like a relatively upmarket sedan.

The 3.6-litre V6 and the six-speed automatic behind it are both responsive; they communicate electronically with one another to give pleasing

amounts of torque at all times.

However, the V6 is still not as smooth as similar engines used in many competitors.

It’s certainly not as harsh as when first introduced almost a decade ago, but it really should be better.

Now, it may never be…

Performance is strong, yet fuel consumption is surprisingly low for a big utility.

Expect the 3.6 V6 to use about seven to nine litres per 100 kilometres when cruising in the country and about nine to 11 litres when driven sensibly in suburban areas.

Handling is excellent with good feedback through the steering.

The new electric power steering (EPS) unit gives a sharp feel that’s all

but indistinguishable from that of the hydraulic units used in all previous Commodores.

EPS is there primarily as a fuel saver because it only takes power from the engine when it’s needed, not all the time as when a hydraulic pump is running non-stop.

There’s something just right about settling into these big Holden utilities.

They give a feeling of easygoing security on all roads, good, indifferent, bad, awful that’s simply not there on many imported cars.

We will miss this ‘something’ when Australian designed and built car vanish from the motoring scene forever in 2017.

Porsche on the money

New Year demo sale

... a bigger Mazda feeling!

ALL STOCK MUST GO

By PETER ANDERSON PORSCHE purists are still whining, but the fact of the matter is that if Porsche doesn’t do SUVs, the purists are unlikely to get machines like the 918 Spyder or Cayman GTS. So that argument is pretty much over for the rest of the internet, thank goodness.

Porsche’s challenge now is to continue to grow its SUV line-up while maintaining the balance between sporty and utility.

It’s started from a good base, both technologically and financially - you can have either the diesel or petrol Macan S for a long way south of $100,000.

The Macan’s current range starts with the $84,900 sixcylinder turbo-diesel and then the two twin-turbo petrol V6s, the 3.0 litre S and the strangely-named 3.6 litre $122,400 Turbo.

Our car was the mid-spec $86,700 petrol-powered S. Standard on board is an 11-speaker stereo with Bluetooth, USB and in-built hard disc, dual-zone climate-control, alarm with motion sensor, rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors, trailer sway control, hill descent control, electric front seats with memory, sat-nav, auto bi-xenon headlights, power mirrors, auto wipers and active ride suspension.

Added to the S, and from a substantial options list, was a panoramic sunroof ($3790), full leather ($3720), sport chrono package ($2690), handsome 20-inch wheels ($2130), side skirts ($1920), brushed aluminium interior package ($1090), front heated seats ($890), triple zone climate control ($830) and black roof rails ($750).

While this brings the price up to a whopping $104,510, it doesn’t make the Macan any faster because it’s all cosmetic apart from the sport chrono package.

This little lot adds a stopwatch to your dashboard but also adds the Sport Plus button which brings faster, sharper shifts and throttle response.

The Cayenne is a bit of a mess stylistically, and the Macan’s front end is probably a little too close to big brother’s bloated bonce.

Move to the side, however, and things improve immeasurably. The falling roofline lands in a very cool homage to the 911, with slim LED lights and all the right angles to make the Macan look quick.

Naturally, this bites into the boot space and also appears to shift the rear seats a little further forward than might be ideal and rendering rear leg room marginal for anyone over about five and a half feet.

The front of the cabin is very Porsche, so you have to take the good with the bad.

It does look terrific (good) but there seems to have been a nasty accident at a button factory (bad).

There are buttons everywhere across the dash and down the console and it takes a while

Porsche's second SUV is more Porsche and less pork.

Mazda 3 Neo Safety Automatic Sedan Mazda3 Astina Automatic Hatch

Mazda3 SP25 Automatic Sedan

to learn what they all do and mean.

The leather is smooth and soft, the big steering wheel is perfectly sized if a little flat in the face for some tastes and the seats are fantastically comfortable.

The central console is high to give the impression you’re sitting lower than you might expect. It makes the Macan feel low and snug.

The three-dial dash is very clever, with a traditional speedo and tachometer and a third screen that can be changed around to suit your needs - trip computer, sat-nav, whatever takes your fancy.

A 7.8-inch screen sits in the middle of the Festival of Buttons and controls everything from your phone and music through to sat-nav.

The 11-speaker stereo is a good one, with great sound and was very easy to set up, despite the controls being shared between console and steering wheel.

The Porsche V6 is quite a thing - from 3.0 litres and two turbos comes 250 kW of power and 460 Nm of torque (the Turbo ups the figures to 294 kW and 550 Nm). With stop-start and a seven-speed DPK (dual clutch) transmission, the Macan S sprints to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.

It uses a claimed 8.7 litres per 100km. In the real world, you'll see low double figures fuel consumption.

Drive is to all four wheels through the seven-speed transmission, with a clear bias to the rear wheels.

The Macan is home to eight airbags, stability and traction control, load-limited and pretensioned seat belts, ABS, EBS and brake force distribution.

There is no ANCAP safety rating for the Macan.

Straight away this feels different to your average fast SUV. It doesn’t have a lumpy ride or feel compromised through the steering.

While its close relative, the Audi SQ5, is a great car, there

are a few things about it that might not appeal, the ride in particular.

Porsche’s active ride system irons everything out in Comfort mode, giving a firm but compliant urban ride quality while never stuttering on the fast or high-frequency stuff.

Switch everything up to Sport and the car’s character changes considerably.

The engine becomes a lot more vocal and the shifts become super-fast, almost imperceptible.

What’s most impressive is that free-spinning twin-turbo V6 - it cheerfully winds out to the redline without the hesitation in that last few hundred rpm many forced induction engines suffer from.

It’s terrific fun in the fast stuff, too - always willing, with little understeer and a proper slingshot feel out of the bends.

Nobody has a fast SUV as complete as the Macan.

BMW has nothing in this size, Mercedes tries to straddle size and price with the hardas-nails GLA 45 and the only thing that comes close is Audi’s diesel-only SQ5. Japan, Korea and Britain are yet to fire their weapons.

What none of those have is Porsche’s engineering prowess (Stuttgart says the Macan is 70 per cent their own, and feels it too) and for many people that badge is going to be superimportant (even if total cost of ownership isn’t).

As is that price - at well under $90,000 before on-roads, the petrol Macan S is a performance bargain and a cracker of an entry into Porsche ownership.

Model range Macan S Diesel 3.0-litre turbo-diesel fivedoor wagon: $84,900 (automatic); Macan S 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol five-door wagon: $86,700 (automatic); Macan Turbo 3.6-litre V6 turbo-petrol five-door wagon: $122,400 (automatic).
