Education Week 17-23 May, 2015 SPECIAL FEATURE

Week adds up to enjoy maths THIS year’s Education Week maths theme will see hundreds of schools and early years services participate in the week, from 17-23 May 2015, through open days, exhibitions, themed class activities and other special events.

Under the theme of ‘Crack the Code With Maths’ schools and early childhood programs are encouraged to explore maths with students and parents using the activity

ideas, promotional tools, teaching resources and helpful course and career links found on the Department of Education’s website.

Schools will be able to take part in The Great Victorian Coding Challenge in the leadup to Education Week this year by bringing maths to life in their classrooms.

Using the simple software Scratch which is already installed on government school

computers, students can create and animate their very own characters and games, and have the chance to win a full-day excursion to specialist maths and science centre Quantum Victoria.

And there’s plenty of support for teachers with no knowledge of coding, including short webinars, online resources and ideas for classroom activities.

Other activities will give thousands of children the opportunity to experience freeof-charge educational and cultural activities hosted by museums, galleries, libraries, farms, performance groups and other community organisations with education programs throughout Victoria.

Visit www.education.vic.gov.au and follow the Education Week link at the bottom of the page.

On the right pathways LYNDHURST Secondary College places high expectations on its staff and students and the vast array of pathways it offers.

“At Lyndhurst Secondary College we are a progressive learning community that aims to empower students for learning and life,” principal Warren Wills said.

“The college has high expectations of all of our students and delivers a diverse, engaging and stimulating learning program designed to maximise the outcomes of each and every student.

“All students have the option to access their own net-book, enabling them access to ICT resources in every lesson.”

He said next year would be important for the school.

“We launch the Academic Curriculum Enhancement (ACE) Program in 2016, a specialised class for highly achieving students where students will be encouraged to increase the breadth and depth of their learning, whilst nurturing each student’s individual capabilities,” the principal said.

“These students will also have access to an early start VCE in later years that will increase the number of units they can study which, in turn, can increase their ATAR scores.

“All members of our school community are encouraged to contribute to and respect the richness and diversity of the different

cultural groups that make up our school community, through our award winning Multipride program.

“In addition to this, those seeking a career in a trade have a broad range of VET and VCAL options available to them, including school based apprenticeships.

“Student voice is considered vital at Lyndhurst Secondary College and students have extensive opportunities to exercise this through a varied portfolio of student leadership positions.”

Lyndhurst, which has been around since 1981, operates with a core value of respect which underpins all it does.

“In addition to this, our focus on developing high expectations for our staff and students ensures that quality learning is our priority,” Mr Wills said.

“We seek to empower our students to find a pathway that is individually suited to them and then support them to achieve the best possible outcomes in their chosen pathway.”

There are limited places in the select entry ACE program still available for 2016.

Interested students should contact the college.

Lyndhurst Secondary College is at 950 South Gippsland Highway, Cranbourne, on 5996 0144.

A BERWICK-BASED school has been chosen to take part in a landmark television event.

CJZ Productions has been commissioned by the ABC to produce a landmark television series addressing the vexed and complex issue of how to raise the standard of school education in Australia.

The ABC’s brief is for a series that illustrates “real children having their life opportunities improved’’, and for the series to follow the day to day happenings of a typical Australian school where quality teach-

ing and learning is a priority.

CJZ believes Kambrya College, in the Melbourne suburb of Berwick, is the school that best fits these criteria.

The aim is to showcase what does work to improve outcomes for students, and to closely observe a school that can be a role model for others around the nation. The lessons learned should be applicable to the majority of schools in the country, whether they are public or private.

Kambrya was chosen after months of intensive research across Australia.

During the past six years, Kambrya College has transformed from one of the lowest performing schools in Victoria, to the point where it sits among the top 20 per cent of government schools in the state.

The series will follow students and teachers at Kambrya College over the course of the 2015 school year, focusing primarily on Year 7 and Year 12 students, to illustrate the teaching methods and targeted interventions helping students to maximise their potential.

FAITH EDUCATION & SERVICE At St Peter’s College we pride ourselves on knowing our students both pastorally and academically, equipping them with the required skills necessary for the 21st Century. Our House System allows Learning Advisors and House Leaders to work closely with small ‘Student Tutor Groups’ over the six years a student is with us. Through this relationship we encourage our students to value effort and strive for excellence, always challenging them to be the best they can be.

■ Scouts at risk from drug taking around HQ...

Syringe scourge

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE president of Cranbourne Scouts has voiced fears for the children’s safety after syringes and bongs were repeatedly found scattered near their hall.

It follows an Easter weekend breakin during which the Scout hall’s windows were smashed, its locked doors busted and copper piping stolen from the property.

Police are currently investigating the incident at the facility on the South Gippsland Highway.

A week before Easter a Scout leader’s car was damaged by a raider who broke into the grounds while the children were having a sleepover inside the hall.

Last Tuesday Casey council resolved to look into the viability of having CCTV cameras set up at the property and new locks and doors installed at the hall.

Councillor Amanda Stapledon also called for the Scout hall to be added to the Cranbourne police surveillance roster while also encouraging a discussion with the Casey Neighbourhood Watch to take place.

President of the First Cranbourne Scouts committee Jenni Walden said vandalism at the hall had increased significantly since Christmas.

While graffiti vandals had been known in the past to tag the Scout hall, Ms Walden said the children’s safety was now under threat.

“It’s disturbing given kids are in the hall at times,” she said.

“This time of year it’s dark early and we don’t want kids going out in the backyard but we don’t want them to be restricted.

“Most people see this as a sign of the times, unfortunately.”

Leaders Maureen Sell (Cub Leader) and Kristy Walder (Scout Leader, both on far right) with Cubs in the front row, Damien, Nicholas, Josh, Kayla, Picture: ROB CAREW Ella and Swarnika, and Scouts, back row, Mitch, James, Kailey and Luckthika. 139046 Ms Walden said copper piping had also been stolen from the Devon Meadows Scout hall in March.

Cr Stapledon said she was horrified

when Ms Walden told her about the scattered syringes and vandalism.

“Children are the most precious and to have them exposed in that way,

especially in such a highly held community facility, is highly concerning,” she said.

“A Scout hall is something sacred to

the community, whether we use it or not.”

The First Cranbourne Scouts has about 80 youth members, ranging in age from seven to 18.

Face of courage

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

Police want to speak to this man in relation to a Cranbourne burglary.

Dr Malcolm Linsell, back left, Wesley Koni and reporter Karl Stefanovic with Asaro mud men in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea.

Picture: COURTESY 60 MINUTES would be, and his right eyebrow was where his right nipple would be and his left ear was sitting on his shoulder.”

Dr Linsell had thought about ‘Wes’ often in the 16-odd years since he had operated on him.

And while in Sydney the doctor was finally able to meet up with Wes again, who now lives in New South Wales and works for the Salvation Army, after having undergone roughly 30 operations over the years to treat his injuries.

Happily reunited and amazed at his progress, Dr Linsell recently

contacted 60 Minutes.

“I was amazed he was now working and contributing to society,” Dr Linsell said.

“I was really aware that here was a boy, who if we hadn’t have done anything for, he probably wouldn’t have survived and 20 years later he’s making a meaningful contribution to society.”

With all involved seeing the potential for a beautiful conclusion to what to this point had been a long and at times, testing journey, 60 Minutes facilitated Dr Linsell, Wesley and host Karl Stefanovic travel-

ling to PNG to visit his family.

“The most moving thing for me was when I met his father,” Dr Linsell said.

“His father comes over and embraces Wesley, I go to his father, Koni, and he looks at me and he recognises me.

“He doesn’t speak English, he embraces me. My God, after 20 years, a man that trusted his son to me, to really make sure his son was still alive.

“That had me very emotional.

That is so special - to know I had an impact.”

AUSTRALIAN CREDIT LICENCE N0 387935

A BERWICK plastic surgeon has praised the Casey community for raising the funds to have a young child from Papua New Guinea with severe burns to his face treated in Victoria 20 years ago.

The story of Wesley Koni - who as a young child fell into a fire inside his family’s grass hut home in the Eastern Highlands of PNG - has come full circle.

On Sunday 60 Minutes aired the heart-wrenching conclusion to Wesley’s story, in which the now rehabilitated young adult returned to his home village to see his mother and father, more than 20 years after he was first taken to Australia.

Dr Malcolm Linsell, who was a member of the Cranbourne Salvation Army at the time, was the first surgeon to operate on three-yearold Wesley, after a fellow volunteer working in PNG read about the Berwick man’s skills and sought his help.

In late March, 1993, the Casey community raised $20,000 to ensure Wesley could make the journey to Australia, where he was operated on

by Dr Linsell.

“When I first saw a photo I genuinely went oh my God, what are we going to do?” Dr Linsell told the News this week.

“I’d never quite seen anything like it.”

Wesley’s face had been completely burnt on one side.

“He was so weak he couldn’t lift his head up, so his head had settled on his chest and became melded to his chest,” Dr Linsell said.

“The right side of his mouth was attached to where his left nipple

Better to wear out than rust

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH STANDING in front of an archway of balloons at the 2015 Casey Volunteer Awards, Mayor Cr Mick Morland called the guests of the night “our greatest asset.”

Cr Morland said sustained volunteering has shown an improvement in social connection, health, happiness and even a better night’s sleep.

The room full of smiles certainly reflected this, as more than 150 volunteers and their families were recognised at the Cranbourne Turf Club on Friday 8 May. Pairs, groups, individuals and organisations were acknowledged for their contribution to the community and this year the Casey Volunteer Award was a joint affair.

Up against 30 nominees President of the Pearcedale Country Women’s Association, Sue Chanter, and President at St Paul Apostle Catholic Community Church in Endeavour Hills, Liseby Lapierre won the Casey Volunteer Award.

Ms Lapierre said volunteering has benefitted her life in many ways and the award was a really nice surprise.

“Someone once told me that there is something wrong in the world if people can’t volunteer a couple of hours a week, I would encourage people to think about volunteering- it’s very rewarding,” she said.

Ms Lapierre volunteers up to 20 hours a week to various multicultural and inter-faith organisations and agrees with Cr Morland that she sleeps well at night.

A volunteer for the past 27 years, Ms Lapierre volunteers three hours a week at the Wellspring Dandenong centre for women.

“I look after the children while their mother is having English conversation classes, if there weren’t volunteers they would not be able to come and learn English,” Ms Lapierre said.

Co-winner, Ms Chanter said she has been volunteering almost all of her life and said especially once retired “you might as well wear out than rust out.”

Walking one and half kilometres most mornings, Ms Chanter picks up rubbish on the side walk and has been volunteering at the Cranbourne Salvation Army Opportunity Shop for almost 22 years.

“I was very stunned to win, I thought there was far more worthy people that had done so much more,” she said.

A very humble winner, Ms Chanter said “I always think if you can give back something to the community its good, there are always so many people in need of help.”

The 15th annual Casey Volunteer Awards wrapped up with six winners on the night and two taking home highly commended awards.

The Casey Young Volunteer Award went to 17-year-old Mark Morante, a Year-12 student at Berwick Collage.

Mr Morante said he didn’t want to trade off his volunteering with the Casey Youth Action Committee for more study hours during VCE. “I find it a bit difficult juggling Year

12 and volunteering but I find it more rewarding than homework,” he said.

The volunteer group award went to the Berwick Opportunity Shop Inc, marking their 26th year in Clyde Road, Berwick.

The shop has managed to donate around $4 million to their local community over the years, with some working volunteers more than 80-years-old.

Delivering meals two days a week and providing safe and reliable transport to medical appointments for frail and aged clients, Joan and Noel Ryan won the Casey Volunteering Pair Award.

The Cranbourne Information and Support Service Inc (CISS) won the Volunteer Organisation Award for their crisis intervention, emergency relief and counselling support over the past 35 years.

Information officer, Susan Arlove, has been a volunteer at CISS for 24 years and accepted the award with volunteer of about 16 years, Ros Larke.

Giving one day a week to CISS, long term Cranbourne resident Ms Arlove said volunteering has taught her a lot about her township and has given her a bigger picture outlook on life.

“You learn a lot from the clients that you help, about their lives and how they’re coping and you appreciate your own life a lot more,” she said.

Who Cares? We Do and the Casey Youth Fitness Program were also awarded highly commended certificates on the night.

Work support welcome

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CALL it faint praise - but this year’s Federal Budget is at least “not as savage” as the 2014 proposal, says Cranbourne Information and Support Service executive director Leanne Petrides.

“There seems to be more incentives for people getting into the workforce and less punishment,” she said.

Ms Petrides was worried that nonworking parents could be cut off from child care access though there were legitimate reasons for them to need the service, such as to help socialise the child.

“From my first read of it, the government is targeting it as a work-support package for people currently working or mums entering the workforce.”

· · · · · ·

Some of the budget highlights include: A $10 million grant for Casey council’s proposed cultural centre Bunjil Place in Narre Warren; Extra child care support for disadvantaged and vulnerable children: Extra child care subsidies for families earning between $65,000 and $170,000: Immediate tax deductions for small businesses buying equipment up to $20,000; More support for young disadvantaged people to get into work, including migrants and those with mental health issues; $30 per fortnight allowance boost for 170,000 pensioners with “modest assets”.

Ms Petrides welcomed a $63.4 million package to continue funding microfinance services over five years.

The funds would help people on low incomes to get no and low-interest loans rather than fall into “the trap of lending from pawnbrokers and payday lenders”.

She praised boosting Newstart payments for young people - which are “well below the poverty line” - as well as winding down the six-month wait for the allowance.

She gave qualified support to boosting incentives to employ people aged 50-plus.

“My concern is there are already more people applying for positions than there are jobs available.

“The maths doesn’t add up.”

Hampton Park Networking Group president Vanessa Gerdes said she still had “a few questions” about the small business tax deductions.

“It’s fine giving money for small business to grow but it has to be a realistic benefit like manufacturing equipment.

“If it’s used just for a new desk and new computer - it could just as easily be used by the kids at home.

“Are we opening the door for corrupt small businesses that are just going to write off everything?”

She said increased subsidies to help mothers to return to work were insufficient. Part-time incomes that were chewed up by child care and kindergarten costs were “not worth it” Ms Gerdes said.

Short-changed or short-sighted over road upgrade Opposition Leader Matthew Guy, left, alongside Opposition Roads and Infrastructure spokesman Ryan Smith, centre, and Gembrook MP Brad Battin, right, beside Thompsons Road, which the Opposition Leader says Labor has failed to allocate enough funding to in the latest State Budget.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD OPPOSITION Leader Matthew Guy has slammed the government for allocating only $20.5 million in this year’s State Budget to duplicate Thompsons Road despite promising $175 million for the upgrade prior to the election.

Mr Guy, who visited Merinda Park train station last Wednesday with Gembrook MP Brad Battin and Opposition roads spokesman Ryan Smith, said the Thompsons Road funding allocation was an “insult” to the Casey community.

The State Budget, released on Tuesday, indicates $480,000 will be spent on the Thompsons Road project up to 30 June 2015, with $20 million to follow over the rest of the Government’s term.

“It’s not a luxury, this is a necessity to be upgraded,” Mr Guy said.

“For the Government to promise $175 million and to deliver barely $20 million $500,000 in the first year - is a huge insult to the people of Casey. They were prom-

ised more and they deserve better.”

Last June Labor promised to spend $175 million on the duplication of two sections of Thompsons Road - between Dandenong-Frankston Road and South Gippsland Highway, and between Narre Warren-Cranbourne and Clyde roads - if

it won the election.

The Government estimated it was used by 24,000 vehicles a day.

Mr Battin said the money allocated to Thompsons Road in Tuesday’s Budget would only “get the planning done”.

“They said the road would be duplicat-

ed at the end of the four years, finished, finalised, the whole lot,” he said.

“That’ll get the planning done.

“To me, that says if they’re planning it in the next four years, they’re not intending on building it in the next four years.

“They’ve blatantly lied to the Casey community.”

Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley said the Government was “committed to delivering on its election commitment of $175 million to upgrade Thompsons Road which is why we have started the planning process”.

“In the 2015-’16 Budget the Andrews Labor Government is investing $20 million to do the planning and pre-construction work to duplicate Thompsons Road,” she said.

“This is in addition to the $500,000 investment to fast track the planning process which was announced in February.”

Shot fired at car A SHOTGUN was fired at a man’s car as he was driving through Cranbourne North last week.

The victim was travelling on Thomspons Road when the shot was fired, hitting the side of his car around 9.30pm on Tuesday 5 May. A ballistics investigation revealed the shot was fired from a shotgun but the offender wasn’t seen and the motive is unknown. The driver escaped uninjured.

Windscreen smashed POLICE have urged witnesses to come forward after a harrowing Devon Meadows road rage incident in which a motorbike rider smashed the windscreen of a car with his helmet in daylight.

It’s believed many people were in the area when the motorbike rider tried to run the victim and his wife off Fisheries Road, forcing the driver to pull over the car around 11.45am on Monday 6 April. The rider then took off his helmet and shattered the car’s windscreen with it, before threatening the driver and his wife.

Constable Jonathan Sagoe-Crentsil said there were people on the side of the road at the time who may have seen the motorbike’s licence plate.

Playground advocates Melinda Lenders and Kate VanDerHeyden with their children Ethan and Iza and Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS their army of local petitioners. 138212 “The council has done nothing with the land since 2006,” she said.

With population in the surrounding areas rising, Ms Lenders said there would be a larger demand for a playground in the future.

“We are pushing harder for it now because a new sub-division of 40 1000 square metre blocks have already been sold in Manton Park, and it’s estimated within the next couple of years the population around Sambur Road will increase by about 20 per cent,” she said.

Ms Lenders and her army of disappointed locals have been petition-

ing for a couple of weeks and had 100 signatures within 24 hours.

“If we don’t get it on the budget nothing’s going to happen, and by the time all those homes will be built,” Ms Lenders said.

The playground for Sambur Road is estimated at costing $70,000 and Ms Lenders would like to see developer contribution funds explored.

With a 15-month baby boy Ms Lenders said, “It’s not going to impact me immediately, but I want it for everyone’s use in the community.”

years later it’s still a poorly maintained paddock,” Ms Studham said.

Ms Lenders said many locals had inquired with the council individually with no success.

“I’m hoping council will address the issue now and urgent attention is paid to get the playground included in the next budget or at least in the five-year plan, it’s been long enough,” Ms Lenders said.

Sub division of the 4000 square metre block was approved in 2006, and Ms Lenders said the land was left as open space contribution to the council.

WHILE some Tooradin residents have been waiting almost 10 years, it took only 10 days to get 615 signatures on a petition for a playground on Sambur Road in Tooradin.

The vacant block of land with a few trees, park bench and a footpath is rarely used, petitioner co-ordinator Melinda Lenders said.

“I’ve seen people walk dogs through occasionally and a dad and son kick a footy, but for the population that’s there, it’s not getting used,” Ms Lenders said.

With no park on the northern side of the Gippsland highway, residents have to travel two kilometres to the nearest playground on the Tooradin foreshore.

“It’s a four-kilometre round trip, you have to go a long way out of your way to get there and it’s unsafe for kids crossing the highway, if they want to get to the playground some are tempted to walk across the highway instead of walking to the pedestrian lights 100 metres down,” she said.

Tooradin resident of seven years, Ms Lenders said the foreshore playground was quite old and frequented by a lot of travellers.

“It can sometimes be hard to get a car park on weekends, and some people bought homes around Sambur road under the assumption that a playground was going to be built,” she said.

Tooradin resident Tarryn Studham lives across the road from the deserted field and was among the 615 signatories.

“I have a family with children that would get a lot of use out of this park, and when we purchased the property we were told this land was going to be a children’s park, seven

Hand up to help THIS week we celebrate National Volunteer Week and recognise the outstanding work many volunteers do within our community.

More than 6 million Australians volunteer their time each year to help those in need.

Their efforts make a marked difference in the lives of many and they all deserve our thanks and recognition for all that they do.

Whether it is the Narre Warren SES Unit or the Hampton Park CFA they are there for us, often during our most difficult times.

Amongst many this past year I have been especially appreciative of the good work of the Casey Multi-faith Network in promoting harmony and understanding in our diverse community.

Hampton Park Progress Association for always standing up for the people of Hampton Park and Casey North Community Information and Support Service for lending a helping hand when it’s needed the most.

My heartfelt thanks for all that you do.

I encourage everyone to put their hand up and volunteer. It’s a great feeling to make a difference in the lives of those who need our help and inspiration.

Again thank you to each and every volunteer who gives so much to our local community.

Judith Graley, Narre Warren South MP.

Gratitude in store I WISH to express my thanks and appreciation to Colin Penny, store manager of Woolworths, corner Thompson Road and South Gippsland Highway, for allowing the Ladies Guild of St John’s Anglican Church to have a cake stall inside the store on the first Saturday every second month.

Over the last 12 months money raised at the stall has helped purchase a fit out for the newly renovated St John’s Community Hall.

This has been achieved without the burden being carried by hall users.

We have enjoyed good relations with both staff and customers who look forward to opportunities to purchase our home cooked cakes, slices and jams.

Dianne Mitchell, St John’s Anglican Church, Cranbourne.

Barbed bouquets HOW impressed was I to walk into the McDonald’s store near Camms Road in Cranbourne on Sunday and see the restaurant adorned with Mother’s Day balloons and nearly every table decorated with floral arrangements.

Never before had I seen this done and was quite impressed that they went to all that trouble and effort to make it an even more special occasion for those mothers lucky enough to visit on the day.

This was short lived, however, when some customers decided to steal the flowers from their table upon leaving the restaurant.

If that wasn’t bad enough, I then witnessed another couple of families complain to staff and managers about the fact that they were not allowed to take the flowers from their

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

tables when they left.

What has the world come to when all people can do is think of themselves and then try to bully or pressure innocent staff.

As a result the management was forced to remove the remaining flowers from the tables in an attempt to avoid anymore unnecessary conflict and most likely will not go to the trouble again next year for Mother’s Day, meaning that a lot more people will miss out because of a selfish few.

Not to be outdone, however, those last few families left with balloons as a token of their “right to have something for free”.

Shame on you all those involved in the theft and full credit to the staff and managers on duty that day.

Ranger attack

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AN EVICTED man chased down a council animal ranger’s car, attacked the ranger and then evaded police after his unregistered dogs were seized in Dandenong North.

A court was told on Monday that Jeffrey Keith Miller’s dogs were taken by three City of Greater Dandenong rangers while he was being evicted from his home by police and Department of Human Services staff on 1 August.

Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Sue McGuire told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that the 41-year-old Hampton Park man became agitated, saying: “Who has my dogs?”

He quickly accelerated a vehicle in pursuit of one of the ranger vans, prompting police to follow him.

Miller’s vehicle cut in front of the van, causing a collision

between his trailer and the van’s front-end in Fair Crescent.

The court was told the ranger locked herself in the car to protect herself as Miller demanded to know the location of his dogs and her details.

Miller then punched through the driver-side window, striking the “terrified” ranger’s arm and showering her face with glass.

“She was in fear that the accused was going to punch her head in,” Ldg Sen Const McGuire told the court.

A second ranger drew a baton and confronted Miller, who then fled in his car.

During his escape, Miller drove at an on-coming police vehicle, which was flashing emergency lights, The police vehicle’s driver swerved the car to avoid a headon collision.

Miller also drove off the road to avoid a make-shift police roadblock.

The court was told police decided it was unsafe to pursue the learner-permit driver due to his speed, behaviour and wet conditions.

Miller was also ordered to compensate the council for the van’s broken window.

When arrested, Miller told police he was angered because the ranger “wouldn’t hand over my dogs”.

“I just wanted to get my dogs back.”

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen bailed Miller to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 22 June for sentencing, pending medical confirmation the accused had an acquired brain injury that caused his impulsivity.

Mr Vandersteen foreshadowed that Miller would be put on a justice plan and community corrections order.

“If you re-offend (in the meantime), all bets are off.”

Police probe several fires NARRE Warren police have been called to a number of fires throughout Casey in the last week - both suspicious and non-suspicious.

A woman’s Cranbourne West home was nearly engulfed by flames after a fire lit in a backyard chiminea wasn’t properly extinguished around 4am on Monday 11 May. CFA, who extinguished the blaze, believe the fire was ignited from ash left in the chimanea, located under a pergola at

the Comte Close property.

No one was injured in the blaze.

It comes after a witness spotted a fire in scrubland near a walking track in Pearcedale around 7pm on Sunday 3 May. CFA are treating the fire, which was close to Middle Road, as suspicious after they found a pile of sawdust near the blaze.

CFA crews were also called to a street fire in Cranbourne

around 10pm on Thursday 7 May. Detectives are treating the Duff Street fire as suspicious after flammable accelerant was discovered at the scene.

Nothing was damaged as a result of the street fire.

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

MONASH Berwick students are calling for answers on the future of the campus, amid fears it will be sold or leased to another institution.

A petition entitled ‘Monash Berwick: What’s our future?’ was launched yesterday and has since been signed by more than 300 people.

A meeting between student leaders and Monash officials will be held tomorrow afternoon, with the future of Monash an item on the agenda.

President of the Monash Union of Berwick Students Dani Rothwell said that Monash had been avoiding providing answers to students for some time.

“The future of the Berwick campus was on the agenda of a meeting in April but it was postponed,” she said on Tuesday.

“When I questioned what that item referred to, the response was that consultations would begin midyear.

“My concern is that a decision has already been made.”

The petition, in the form of a letter to the Monash University Council and Monash University vice-chancellor, requests that Monash confirm or deny plans to sell or allow another institution to use Monash Berwick.

“For far too long, rumours have been circulating that Monash has plans to sell or allow another institution to use the Monash Berwick facility.

Dani Rothwell 115551 “For far too long, Monash University has provided no answers.”

On 1 January, 2014, Monash University’s Gippsland Campus was taken over by Federation Uni. Ms Rothwell fears the Berwick campus will face a similar fate.

“The Gippsland students got very little warning that the campus was changing hands, and now they’re studying at a uni that they didn’t apply for,” she said.

“It’s not fair and students deserve better.”

Monash has been asked for comment.

THREE people were arrested after police seized two stolen cars, $30,000 worth of power tools, $20,000 worth of electrical equipment, ice, marijuana and a sawn-off shotgun from a property in Hampton Park.

Police raided the property in The Fairway just after 10.30pm

last Friday 8 May, arresting two men and a woman in relation to the incident, which included the theft of a Nissan 180SX, which was stolen from Hampton last month, and a Holden ute taken from Keysborough.

A police spokesperson said the keys had been left in the

ignition of the Holden before it was stolen.

A subsequent police search of the Hampton Park property uncovered more stolen property, including a haul of ice and marijuana, and a sawn-off shotgun.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD HALLAM has been the worst hit suburb in Casey for car thefts over a two week period from April to May, according to another police hotspot map The map, released by police last Monday, highlights Hallam as the worst affected suburb for theft from and theft of cars from Monday 20 April to Sunday 3 May. Cranbourne East was the next worst hit, according to the map.

But Detective Senior Sergeant John Bergin said the targeted suburbs seemed to shift each month, with the previous hot spot map collated for March indicating Beaconsfield and Narre Warren South as the worst affected areas.

“It’s a very opportunistic crime, as you know, and it’s really hard to track the patterns,” he said.

The renewed crack down on car thefts comes after police launched Operation Stance in February, a project run by the Narre Warren CIU which identifies hot spots in the municipal-

A police hot spot map indicates Hallam was one of the worst affected suburbs for car thefts recently. ity where there are high rates of this type of auto crime - particularly thefts from cars.

According to the latest police statistics, released by the Crime Statistics Agency in March, there were 248.5 motor vehicle thefts in Casey per a 100,000 resident population in 2014, up from 215.5 the year before.

Det Sen Sgt Bergin said it was incredibly frustrating that many of the thefts were from unlocked cars and that valuables were left visible, despite police urging the community to stay vigilant.

“A lot of European cities encourage cars to be devoid of all personal property,” he said.

“You walk down the streets of London and look into the cars and there’s nothing in them, but not in Casey.”

Operation Stance will continue until the end of June, with at least 50 additional high visibility police officers taking part.

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

Terror charge bail denied A HAMPTON PARK teenager charged in relation to an alleged Anzac Day terror plot has been denied bail.

Magistrate Suzie Cameron remanded 18-year-old Harun Causevic in custody on Friday.

Its alleged Causevic and his co-accused Sevdet Besim, also 18, plotted to run down a police officer with a car, behead

him and use his gun to shoot a crowd of people at an Anzac Day service in Melbourne’s south-east. Causevic and Besim are set to appear back in court in August.

The decision came on the same day police raided several properties in Melbourne’s northern suburbs in relation to a counter-terrorism operation last week.

A 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested following the raids and has been remanded in custody after a brief appearance in the Children’s Court.

It is alleged the teen had been making explosive devices and planned to use them over the Mother’s Day weekend.

Man notches up record of crime

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1184733-HM20-15

A PAKENHAM man described by a magistrate as having one of the “most significant” list of prior convictions was refused bail on Monday.

According to a prosecution bail summary, the “well known recidivist offender” - who cannot be named due to being a protected Crown witness - had been charged with an “outrageous amount” of 306 counts in Victoria.

His previous prior convictions included aggravated burglary, rape, cultivating narcotics, numerous drug offences, weapon offences and failing to appear in court while on bail on multiple occasions.

At Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday, the 43-yearold applied for bail over an alleged spree of thefts from motor vehicles, using stolen credit cards and other thefts in Greater Dandenong and Casey over two weeks in December and January.

The man allegedly stole wallets, cards and cash from five

SETTLERS RUN GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB 1 SETTLERS RUN, BOTANIC RIDGE 3977 PHONE: 03 9785 6072

cars in Endeavour Hills on the night of 29 December.

The next day, he allegedly used one of the stolen credit cards to buy $350 of items including cigarettes.

Laptops, wallets, sunglasses and cash were allegedly looted from nine car break-ins in Berwick on the night of 12 January.

Three stolen credit cards were used for more than $1300 of purchases, including alcohol, at 12 outlets the following day.

The man had committed the offences three weeks after being placed on bail for theft from motor vehicle, criminal damage, going equipped to steal and handling stolen goods.

Many of the offences had been allegedly committed during his night curfew time, police alleged.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen took into account the applicant’s desire to live with his long-term partner and children.

The man also claimed he was feeling “ready” for drug rehabilitation having kept clean for the past 110 days in custody.

On the other hand, Mr Vandersteen noted the man’s significant drug and alcohol abuse, numerous jail stints and “unrelenting” recent offending.

The applicant had most recently served 13 months in jail until July last year.

“You’ve got one of the most significant prior convictions (list) we’d see in court,” Mr Vandersteen said.

“Though I accept you’re ready for treatment, I can’t see one court order that you haven’t breached.”

Mr Vandersteen said he wasn’t prepared to send the applicant back to the family home given the man’s recent history of family violence.

He said the applicant’s application for a drug-court treatment order on 28 May - which includes a strict regime of regular drug testing, counselling and monitoring - was “probably the most sensible outcome for you”.

“You’re not deterred by (the threat of) another term of imprisonment.”

Service station raid rampage THREE men trashed a Hampton Park petrol station and fled with stolen items last week.

The men walked into the United service station on Hal-

Aquariums & Reptiles

lam Road about 2.45am on Tuesday 5 May with weapons, demanded items from an employee and then wrecked property inside the store.

The offenders escaped through the rear of the service station.

No-one was injured in the incident.

A MAGISTRATE has rejected a fraudster’s claims that she had scammed thousands of dollars from Gumtree buyers because of her allegedly abusive ex-partner.

On Monday, Natalie Jane Finnegan pleaded guilty to nine counts of obtaining property by deception for defrauding advertisers on the online trading-post Gumtree in 2014 and 2015.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told Finnegan responded to ‘tickets wanted’ ads for hard-to-get concerts such as Katie Perry, Falls Festival, Lady Gaga as well as an advert seeking a Windsor dressage saddle.

She contacted her ‘purchasers’ - some of whom were based interstate - by phone, text, email and sometimes as Facebook friends.

After being paid by bank transfers of up to $3000 upfront, she would tell her victims that she had posted them the tickets.

Then after stringing them along with a list of excuses, she cut off contact with the victims.

In December, Finnegan also responded to an online advert selling a Mazda CX-7 vehicle for $17,500.

She picked up the vehicle, keys and paperwork at the victim’s home for the haggleddown price of $15,750 and feigned to transfer the money on her phone.

After being tracked down by Casey CIU, Finnegan returned the vehicle.

Finnegan made full admissions to Casey, Yarra Ranges and Gisborne CIU detectives, claiming she owed money to an abusive now-former partner who had threatened to kill her.

Defence lawyer Fiona Cameron said Finnegan - who now lives and works part-time as a hairdresser at her parents’ home - had used her real name, contact details and Facebook account in a “relatively unsophisticated scam”.

“She knew it would come back eventually,” she said.

Ms Cameron argued that the accused, as the sole carer of a seven-month daughter, should not go to jail.

Finnegan’s parents were unable to leave work to testify in court that they would suffer hardship if they had to care for the infant, Ms Cameron said.

“She was recently a victim of a scam and feels she learnt her lesson.”

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen challenged Finnegan to back up the “abusive” partner claims but she denied his request for bank statements to show she had made synchronous cash withdrawals.

“I can only draw one inference, that what you’re telling us is not true,” Mr Vandersteen said.

Mr Vandersteen said he also had trouble accepting that Finnegan had 14 prior convictions for property-by-deception to appease another abusive partner.

“You’re asking me to accept that because she was in two abusive relationships, she was compelled to do this.

“I’ve listened to a series of lies that she’s told to a number of people.”

He sentenced Finnegan to an 18-month community corrections order with 275 hours of unpaid work, supervision and a ban on using the internet for buying or selling goods.

Finnegan was ordered to pay restitution of $8650 to her Gumtree victims, and to provide a DNA sample to Chelsea police.

Bashed and up the Gumtree CRANBOURNE - 5995 4970 For Bookings & Enquiries www.westernportchildcare.com

A MAN has been bashed and had his property stolen at the Hampton Park Shopping Centre after a Gumtree transaction went pear shaped.

The victim met the potential buyer about 5pm on Sunday 10 May at the shopping centre but the buyer hit the man and took

off with the item he was meant to pay for. A police spokesperson urged people carrying out Gumtree transactions to do so in a safe environment, including outside police stations or near security guards.

On its website Gumtree advises online shoppers to have

someone with them if they are visiting someone’s house for a transaction, or have someone with them if a customer is coming to their house, to always inspect the item before agreeing to a sale, and to never send or wire money to anyone they don’t know.

INNOVATIVE DREAM HOME THE magnificent Homestead pays homage to Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colonial past, with its wide verandahs, impressive façade and spacious family living.

The Homestead is an innovative new offering from Red Bluff Homes, designed specifically for buyers with acreage or a farmlet on which they want to build their dream home.

The house has been designed to make the most of rural views. The living areas, including the rumpus room, family room, meals and kitchen areas are all positioned at the front of the home. Rows of tall windows running the entire length of the home are designed to capture the surrounding countryside and, if the home is orientated to the north, the winter sunlight.

Buyers have a choice of four different facades at no extra cost.

The kitchen and meals areas have long been the heart of country homes and The Homestead is no exception.

The spacious kitchen has a huge walk-in pantry, and is centrally located to the openplan meals and family areas.

The Homestead is cleverly designed to

separate the casual family living areas from the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retreat. Busy parents can retire to their own oasis, complete with walkin robe and ensuite, tucked away at the opposite end of the home to bedrooms two and three.

The flexibility of the design means the separate formal dining room can be incorporated into the master bedroom creating an even more generously proportioned parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retreat.

The design also offers flexibility when it comes to the configuration of the bathroom, toilet and storage space at the family living end of the home, with buyers offered four options from which to choose.

Outside, the fantastic return verandah harks back to the grand colonial country homes that once dotted Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farming districts.

The Homestead, which measures 25.5 metres by 12 metres including verandah, starts at $215,000 on your land.

For more details and a list of unique inclusions contact Red Bluff Homes on 1300857257.

ENJOY THE HIGH LIFE WITH construction well underway on the first few stages at Highgrove, excited future residents are starting to see their new community taking shape.

With over 150 lots already sold, Highgrove is proving to be a favourite among the growing Clyde North community.

Highgrove is designed with family and community in mind, merging the best of traditional living with harmonious neighbourhood planning.

With a strong emphasis on community and open spaces, Highgrove unites four precincts around a beautifully landscaped central park while smaller parks are nestled within the heart of each precinct.

The future parks nestled within the Highgrove community will provide attractive, functional surrounds for a range of community activities from local market days to casual sporting events or an idyllic backdrop for a weekend picnic.

Knitting these parklands together is a local off road recreational loop which is perfect for walking, running, or cycling.

The thoughtfully considered layout of Highgrove ensures there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle connected to nature and the community.

Due to high demand, Highgrove’s latest stage - The Mountjoy Release has just been announced to the public and is on sale now. This exciting new land release offers a

variety of land sizes to suit all purchasers; with land ranging from 220m2 to an impressive 653m2 customers are sure to find their ideal block.

Conveniently located only moments away from Highgrove’s central neighbourhood

park, future residents will be able to enjoy a range of recreational facilities as well as elevated views of the Dandenong Ranges.

With a small selection of park fronted lots available, demand for this new land release will be high.

For more information on Highgrove visit www.highgrove.com.au contact Linda on 1800 444 447 or visit the Highgrove sales and information centre on the corner of Berwick-Cranbourne and Patterson’s roads, (Melway ref 134 K7).

Mums roll up for school’s role models ALL the mums at Lynbrook Primary School were invited to a breakfast feast for an early celebration of Mother’s Day on Sunday 10 May. With about 960 students, the gym was full of happy families enjoying tea and coffee, toast and special goodies.

Science teacher Clayton Edwards said the morning aimed to acknowledge female role models.

“It’s about recognising the contribution to their lives and how important and vital mums, grandmas and big sisters are.

“It’s so the students can say thank you to their parents in a public way and we have pancakes and mums to get together and spend time with their kids,” he said.

The whole school event took place in the gym where students had been busy baking and making art and craft gifts for their mums.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Strength of support

By CASEY NEILL MORE than 50 mechanics took one look at Ghulam Haidar’s poliowithered leg and turned him away, refusing to give the Hampton Park 21-year-old the chance to prove himself in the field he loves.

But Patterson Cheney’s New World Honda in Narre Warren saw past the refugee’s disability and took him on as a trade assistant.

Three months down the track and the company is looking to offer him an apprenticeship.

Ghulam makes his way around the workshop on a crutch with remarkable ease, his strength and agility astounding to watch.

He removes a tyre from a car using one arm while his other rests on the wooden crutch that serves as his right leg.

“I’m feeling very happy. This job is my passion,” he said.

“Because I got the job I can support my family as well.”

He came to Australia in July 2013 to save his life and forge a new one, making a treacherous sea journey via Indonesia.

“In Afghanistan my life was not safe. In Pakistan, too,” he said.

His wife, mother and sister remain in Pakistan. He said it was hard to be separated from them but that his wife’s migration application was being processed.

“Hopefully, she will be here soon,” he said.

Ghulam had a Grade 6 level education when he arrived in Australia and enrolled in an English class.

Dandenong Valley Job Support (DVJS) organised work experience at a Dandenong mechanic for him and he received great feedback, but there was doubt as to whether anyone would employ him.

Student steps up

By CASEY NEILL

Ghulam Haidar uses a crutch to get around the workshop. 137957 case manager De’Arne Coates, Ghulam completed a certificate two in automotive servicing technology at Chisholm Institute in Dandenong.

He then went in search of a job.

“Ghulam would have been to 50odd places. They’d just look at him and say no,” DVJS business manager Andy Ernst said.

New World Honda Narre Warren service manager Russell Hudman said he was surprised at what Ghulam could do.

“We thought we’d give him a try, put him on for a couple of weeks and he seemed to be a really hard worker and very keen,” he said.

“He came in here, he said he wanted to do express all by himself.

“Express is generally two people working on a car at the same time.

“I was very impressed by his enthusiasm.

“Depending on how he goes this year, I’ll more than likely be looking at putting him on as a mature aged apprentice.”

Mr Hudman employed all his car washers through DVJS. “They want work and other people aren’t willing to give them a go,” he said.

“It’s hard to keep people in a job

Picture: GARY SISSONS like that because it’s monotonous.”

Mr Ernst said some job seekers had physical disabilities while others had literacy issues or depression.

“Standing there in solitude washing a car can sometimes be the best therapy for them,” he said.

“It’s putting the right person in the right place.

“We’ve got hundreds of guys and it’s finding that niche for all of them.”

Since 2010 New World Honda has employed nine staff through DVJS and the Patterson Cheney Group as a whole has employed 15 people with disabilities.

A NARRE Warren student was the first nominee for this year’s Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Youth Enterprise Award.

Tom Cunningham was presented with a certificate acknowledging his achievement at the first Premier Regional Business Awards breakfast for the year which was held at Sandown Greyhound Racing Club in Springvale on 13 May. Chisholm IT and computer systems manager Joe D’Amico said Tom started computer systems engineering studies in 2013, had above average grades and was a great leader.

He said the 21-year-old was one of two students who were selected from across Australia to work at the Cisco live conference in 2014.

Mr D’Amico said the two-week work opportunity was a significant achievement.

“It really acknowledged all the hard work that he’d put in,” he said.

Tom said there were endless opportunities in information and communications technology (ICT) across various job sectors, from health to engineering and finance.

“I want to gain as much job experience as I can and make a good name for myself,” he said.

He wants to continue to learn new skills, and to work overseas to grow professionally and personally.

Sorrow in making many happy

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A NARRE Warren South child has spent the last week flourishing like a butterfly on the acting stage.

Six-year-old Joshua Mase was earlier this year cast as the character, Sorrow, in Opera Australia’s farewell season of Madama Butterfly, which officially opened last week.

The Year-1 student, from St Catherine’s Primary in Berwick, was selected for the role out of a group of eight other boys, and will be perform in six of the eight performances.

His mother, Darlene, said she encouraged Joshua to audition for the role after his talent agent, Tanya Djukic, suggested he would be perfectly suited for it.

“It’s good for his self-esteem, it’s been amazing,” she said.

“He’s taking direction from people that he doesn’t know for a start and

they’re telling him what to do and how to do it.

“It’s great for him to have an experience like that.”

Darlene, who has been helping out backstage during most of the performances, was able to see a dress rehearsal of the opera earlier this month, and will be attending the final matinee with Joshua’s loving family members.

“We’ve got tickets to see him this coming Saturday with the whole family,” she said.

“We were kind of surprised, we thought we’d easily just get the tickets, but when we went online most of them were all sold out!”

Darlene said Joshua extremely enjoyed being involved in Madama Butterfly and predicted he would take to the stage again soon.

“I reckon he’d love it,” she said.

For more information, visit www. opera.org.au.

ON MONDAY this week Melinda Robinson spent the day pulling children from an earthquake-ravaged building in Nepal.

They didn’t survive.

In an email sent to the Berwick News in the days before she reached Kathmandu, the volunteer paramedic from Narre Warren North had foreshadowed the tragedy that awaited her following the tragic earthquake.

“I’m under no illusion how hard it will be,” Melinda wrote.

“I will see things no human should have to see and sometimes all I may be able to do is hold someone’s hand telling them it will be OK when I know it won’t.

“You do whatever is best for the patient and put your feelings and emotions aside till later as it’s not about you, it’s about them.”

On Tuesday a second earthquake struck Nepal, adding dozens of lives to the already harrowing death toll still climbing from the April disaster.

So far more than 8000 people have been officially recorded as dead.

Melinda made the “mercy dash” to Kathmandu after the earthquake hit the region, temporarily leaving her post in Tanzania where she was spending three months tending to the sick in remote villages, cut off from regular medical treatment.

“I just felt that I had something to offer,” she wrote.

“You look at many fire fighters and they don’t hesitate to fly

“Over 7500 thousand dead and that will surely climb due to infection and getting to more remote areas.

“I don’t think you compare that to anything in Australia, maybe even an individual incident in Tanzania.”

While in Tanzania, where she has volunteered previously, Melinda will also spend time with the Tanzanian Flying Medical Service.

As part of the service Melinda was flown into the desert where small villages are scattered across the landscape.

“The Flying Medical Service takes volunteers with them to help - there are a lot of maternal health issues but we’re

also on call for any emergency evacuations that are needed,” she said.

“There are a lot of Maasai villages, kind of equivalent to our (Australian) Indigenous people.

“We give them medical help they otherwise wouldn’t be getting.

“It’s pretty rewarding to be able to contribute to that.”

While some of the villages have pre-arranged sites to conduct medical procedures, Melinda admitted that limited resources often saw operations carried out underneath the wing of an aeroplane - sometimes the only source of protection from the heat of the sun.

With an enrolment of 90 Preps each year, Ms Dodd said more than 50 per cent of their Preps were rating significantly below expected levels in academic literacy, numeracy and social and emotional development.

“Prep transition is so important because some of our children don’t know their ABCs, don’t know how to write their own name and these are things that children in some schools

can already do by the same age,” she said.

The prep transition program runs from 2.30pm to 3pm every Monday afternoon and Ms Dodd said many families weren't aware the program was available.

“Cranbourne is an area of high transience and a lot of families are moving into new estates and don’t know what’s on offer,” she said.

WITH 45 children already enrolled to start Prep at Cranbourne West Primary School next year, only six children are currently involved in the prep transition program.

Parent and community liaison at Cranbourne West Primary School Debbie Dodd said some children were starting Prep without any prior education.

“There are at least 10 Prep children that I know of this year that didn’t attend any pre-school or kindergarten and many that have never picked up a book,” she said.

“And they are the children we really have to spend more time with, coping with anxiety, separation and social and emotional confidence.”

The prep transition program has been running for two years at Cranbourne West Primary School after teachers noticed a need for a more comprehensive start.

“We used to run three days of orientation and realised that wasn’t enough, some children didn’t get enough experience in

FOUR Cranbourne sports clubs will be dressed for success this season thanks to almost $4000 in grants.

Blue Hills Bowls Club in Cranbourne East, Cranbourne Junior Football Club and Lyndhurst Junior Football Club will each receive $1000 while Cranbourne Bowling Club will receive $922 through the Sport-

ing Uniform Grants Program.

The State Government initiative gives clubs the chance to replace old kits with new team tops and shorts, socks and even footy boots.

Cranbourne MP Jude Perera said club colours represented achievement, a sense of belonging and community traditions.

“Our local area has a proud

history of producing fine athletes,” Mr Perera said.

Sport Minister John Eren said the grants took pressure of families and ensured everyone could connect with their community through sport.

“Athletes get a real sense of pride when they don their club colours to represent their community,” he said.

Lester… pretty Strong in pink

By JARROD POTTER PROUD, passionate and pink.

Saturday night was about more than the points scored and victories savoured as the Casey Basketball Association community slipped into as much pink as possible for its Ballin’ for Breast Cancer night.

Auctions for donated items, signed jerseys and special one-on-one training sessions were up for grabs as the Cavaliers’ family dug deep to support the Beast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA).

The night had extra meaning for the players with a select few honoured with the Deb Spinks Memorial MVP award for the best player on the night - named after longtime Cavaliers’ supporter Deb Spinks who passed away from breast cancer in January.

The Casey Cavaliers donned the famous pink jerseys over the weekend in their BIG V triple header with the senior men and youth league men snaring victories while the women’s team were just pipped in a nail-biter.

The Cavs’ senior men were able to get the job done

easily over Altona - snaring a 81-68 triumph on the back of some sublime early threepoint shooting.

Hard-driving point guard James Deneefe (14 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals) had an all-round superstar performance to earn the last Deb Spinks MVP for the event, as he stepped back up to the one-spot with new recruit Ben Louis absent.

Also starring for the Cavaliers were big, bad Brent Hobba (22 points, 15 rebounds) and Lester Strong (13 points, 17 rebounds) as the duo terrorised the Gators’ offence.

Matt Witherden (5 points, 6 rebounds) made a good showing of his first match back from a leg injury while Bevan Camilleri (18 points) pushed through the key to register his best tally in 2015.

Casey senior men have skyrocketed to third in the Watson Conference standings - with a 6-4 record - and will face Camberwell on Sunday afternoon at Balwyn High School.

The Cavaliers women could not find their way

Lester Strong - the only man cool enough to pull off a pink headband - relished Ballin’ for Breast Cancer night as he snagged a big double-double. 138873 Picture: JARROD POTTER back into the clash against Blackburn - despite a gallant fourth-quarter run cutting the margin to six.

Natalie Dowdy (17 points, 10 rebounds) was awarded the Spinks MVP from the women’s match for her superb efforts under the hoop while Tarryn Wilkin (16

points, 7 rebounds) also ensured the Cavaliers weren’t outmatched aerially.

Starting off proceedings were the Youth Men who snared a 78-64 win over Mornington as Aaron Bower was awarded the first Spinks MVP of the evening.

Top-placed trio’s sweet victory THREE Alkira Secondary College students defied the odds to take out a Basketball Victoria 3on3 state championship.

Why were Alkira trio Jordan Gooiker, Arnon Lodder and Ben Lodder up against it?

Firstly all the other teams had four players at their disposal, while Alkira went in to the three-on-three tournament without a bench or any ability to rest throughout the seven-game campaign last month.

Other schools also had basketball academies and specialised coaching at their disposal and to cap it off, Alkira had never participated in this tournament before.

So to fight past all those challenges and claim the state senior boys’ title - in a 21-16 win over Haileybury - left Arnon Lodder immeasurably proud of the underdog team’s achievement to knock off the private school top brass.

“It definitely felt great - we were versing some prestigious schools out there and to take away the title from them is always amazing,” Lodder said.

Arnon Lodder, Ben Lodder and Jordan Gooiker excelled for Alkira Secondary College at the Basketball Victoria 3on3 state championships. 138735 Picture: GARY SISSONS “Haileybury had some rep players I’ve seen before.

“They had a guy who was already ranked nationally 6’7" centre - a lot taller than any of us and when we won, the reaction was quite funny - you could tell they were pretty annoyed.”

All those schoolyard pickup matches and local basketball seasons paid off handsomely for the Alkira boys, who knew just how to play off each other and shoot away

to take the championship.

“We were pretty much already brothers - played together at the school and our chemistry is quite high, especially with our teamwork and right shots we took,” Lodder said.

“Our coach as well - Trent - he kept us poised.

“It’s amazing that in our first time entering the tournament, it was also our first time winning it.”

Alkira coach Trent Smith

said the school’s achievement was incredible as they fought back against fatigue and the taller Haileybury players.

“It was great -the boys kept up their effort and intensity throughout the whole game,” Smith said. “We had a time-out towards the end just to calm things down.

The trio wanted to tick the boxes in their final year and the school was more than keen to give them a chance to shine one last time together.

“The boys have been interested in it for the last few years and we didn’t really have the time to do it,” Smith said. “But being the last year for two of them - in Year 12 - it was the last opportunity they had, so they wanted to have a go.”

Alkira is considering its options in the full-court game as well, with Smith confirming the school may participate in the 2015 McDonalds Cup. The Lodder brothers play for Dandenong and Gooiker plays at Casey Cavaliers.

Beau Mertens will take charge of some French beauties later this year as he rides in the Future Rising Stars race in Picture: JARROD POTTER Chantilly, France. 138497

It’s bon voyage, Beau, as racing’s rising star

By JARROD POTTER TAKING his racing from Cranbourne to France will be a big leap for Beau Mertens, but the apprentice jockey is ready to take the next step.

Mertens, 17, who races with Cranbourne-based Michael Kent Racing, has only been in the saddle for less than a year but will get a chance to compete on the biggest apprentice stage on earth at Prix Diane in Chantilly, France.

He’ll ride in the Prix Longines Future Rising Stars event - an 1800m race featuring the best apprentices in horse racing - and is champing at the bit to head over in June.

“It was just a big thing with all the apprentices - if you’re lucky enough you get chosen and I was lucky enough,” Mertens said.

“The way you get chosen is how you represent yourself around the industry, how you’re riding at the moment and I was lucky enough to get this opportunity to head to France.

“I’m pretty honoured to be the one selected for it.”

The third-year apprentice who’s been at the Cranbourne stable for four years - will get to test his hand in Chantilly - helping assist with track work before taking on the biggest race in his short riding career.

He hopes for a podium placing in the Future Rising Stars race and to enjoy his French sojourn.

“One race with all the apprentices - who are coming from all over the world - it will be good considering it’s one of their big-

gest race days over there so it’s going to be great,” Mertens said.

“I just want to get a first, second or third in the race - that would be insane.”

Guiding his first cup winner - taking Youbolt to victory in the 1400m Port Fairy Cup in December - is a moment Mertens will forever savour, especially as it was riding for one of his mentors Jarrod McLean.

“Riding my first cup winner in Warrnambool - it was a pretty big thrill because I was riding it for Jarrod McLean - he’s been one of my biggest supporters throughout so far and given me all the race rides and got me going,” Mertens said.

“Without him I would be nowhere, so that was amazing.”

He was also stoked to receive a ride in the Pakenham Cup - as he guided Todd Balfour’s Prior to 14th in another of first major race.

“100k race- so it was one of the bigger races I’ve ridden in so far and was pretty different to a normal race,” Mertens said.

“It was definitely one of the bigger ones I’ve ridden in so far.

“It’s (Pakenham Racing Club’s Tynong racecourse) fantastic crazy how good they’ve had it and hopefully they can keep it that way as they always get those new courses and run them too soon, but this one is holding up well.”

Mertens wanted to thank Kent, his dad - well-known jockey Peter - and family for their support.

Mertens will head to France early next month with the main race held on 14 June.

Scorpions fry under hot lights

By JARROD POTTER VFL - ROUND 4 WIND plagued Casey Scorpions again as the blustery Casey Fields arena played havoc in the Scorpions 35-point loss to Sandringham.

Under the bright lights and multi-camera set-up from the Channel 7 telecast, the Scorpions struggled to match pace with the faster Zebras through the midfield.

Imploring his charges at the first break to focus on their defensive efforts and impact the contest, Casey coach Justin Plapp’s words resonated with the Scorpions, which upped their intensity through the second term to rattle off goals through Matt Jones, livewire youth Tom Muir and Melbourne skipper Jack Grimes.

The run-and-carry of Jones and Muir were outstanding alongside Viv Michie - who is on the rollercoaster between taking one of Melbourne’s last spots and being one of Casey’s finest each week.

Casey’s performance in the second term - booting majors against the high winds - should have boded well for a second-half charge, but instead the Scorpions were dissected by the Zebras’ better attack on the footy.

Casey couldn’t halt Sandringham even with the wind as the Scorpions still trailed entering the final stanza and up against the galeforce Casey Fields zephyr.

Sandringham would boot away with four goals as the Zebras’ smalls Adam Cockie, Blake Acres, Ahmed Saad and former Berwick player Yilber Zijai bagged two goals apiece and ran riot once the ball came to ground.

“Little bit with the wind against us - couldn’t put enough scoreboard pressure on in that first quarter - where we kicked behinds,” Plapp said.

“From the rest of the game we

Eddie Morris lays one of his world-famous tackles on a Picture: JARROD POTTER Sandringham opponent. 138870 were battling to stay in it.

“Didn’t start well… you can’t play 60 minutes of football and expect to win.

“From a contest point of view we were already seeing the ball a lot and getting more numbers around the ball and better use inside 50 allowed us to try and hit the scoreboard early.”

Hopefully Grimes has put his Demons about playing elite football behind him, no pun intended, with an exceptional match through the midfield/half-back a sure sign of his return to the top flight, snaring 29 disposals, while Jones (29), Michie (29), Terlich (26) and McKenzie (22) showed the way in the 8.10 (58) to 13.15 (93) loss.

Plapp also hopes to regain injured AFL-experienced duo Jack Hutchins (hamstring) and Shannon Byrnes (foot) for a season-defining match this weekend against Port Melbourne on Saturday from 2pm.

Cavs rewarded ... and keen for more

By JARROD POTTER CASEY Basketball Association has been honoured with a pair of poignant Basketball Victoria Awards.

The association was awarded the state organisation’s highest honour - winning Association of the Year on the back of a rise in memberships and co-ordinating a number of successful programs for players, referees, coaches and City of Casey area schools alike.

A rapid increase in playing numbers has seen junior participation increase from six-courts to 16 recently while senior Tuesday/ Thursday competition has also increased by approximately 30 per cent.

President Daniel Phillips said it was overwhelming to get the recognition as Basketball Victoria’s best association in 2014, but there’s plenty left to achieve in the future.

“It’s quite humbling really to be honest,” Phillips said.

“We know that we’ve been putting in the effort and it’s good to be recognised and appreciated for doing such a good job.

“It’s a great reflection of the growth of the south-east and how many kids want to play basketball - I don’t think everyone realises how popular the sport is out this way.

“We know there’s a lot of hard work ahead as well - it doesn’t mean we stop.”

BEST: J. Grimes, V. Michie, T. Muir, M. Gawn, B. Rutherford, A. Neal-Bullen.

SANDRINGHAM GOALS: A. Cockie 2, Y. Zijai 2, B. Acres 2, A. Saad 2, J. Saunders, E. Templeton, M. Hayes, S. Gilbert, M. Brown.

BEST: B. Acres, A. Cockie, T. Curren, T. Lee, H. Goddard, A. Saad.

Capitalising on last year’s stellar effort, Phillips said it was important the association continued to excel, especially with a major renovation to Casey Indoor Leisure Centre, set to begin in July.

“It’s (the renovation) going to allow us to be accessible by more kids - more kids being able to play as at the moment we’re probably on the verge of capacity,” Phillips said.

“We hire 16 courts on a Saturday, so having the extra four courts in a way will increase what we can do and with our Big V teams getting that show court, we’re looking at hopefully in the next few years going to Big V Championship and maybe even SEABL. “The support we get with Big V is probably one of the best in the league for spectators - so having a 1500 seat stadium we’ll really be able to showcase what we can produce.”

Casey Basketball Association vice-president Simon Krug said the associations’ programs developing players, coaches and referees, as well as community school visits alike, were crucial to their successful 2014.

“It’s a great feeling and we’ve put in a lot of volunteer hours to get it all done,” Krug said.

“We’ve done a lot of work with our corporate governance and business structure and we’ve put in

place a lot of development programs that Jodie (Krug) runs.

“We also want to continue with more and more development and to keep on visiting the schools.

“The association also have coaching development programs and referee development programs - skilling up our referees to not only improve here, but be able to go on to the next level and referee in higher competitions.”

Casey Basketball Association also was awarded for the Greatest Membership Increase Award as numbers ballooned in 2014 by about 30 per cent.

Basketball Victoria CEO Nick Honey said Casey Basketball Association has kept in line with the tremendous growth of the south-east and is also pushing the boundaries with programs and facilities.“We commend the Casey BA’s board and management for all their hard work and commitment in ensuring they, not only grow their membership base, but also continue to develop the structures, programs and facilities required to cater for the growth,” Honey said.

The Cavaliers’ were also involved in another award, with Star News Group journalist Jarrod Potter’s article on Lara Pauline’s retirement “Cav Lara Calls it Quits” winning the Basketball Victoria 2014 Best Media Story.

Casey Basketball Association - and its extremely popular Cavaliers Big V program - have been recognised as Basketball Victoria's Association of the Year for 2014.

Classy injuries

By DAVID NAGEL CRANBOURNE has continued to defy logic - absorbing the classiest injury list in the South East Football League to run out 22-point winners over reigning-premier Beaconsfield at Casey Fields on Saturday.

Coach Simon Goosey still has several guns to bring back into his side, with Ryan Jones, Glenn Osborne, Michael Boland, Stu Morrish and Curtis Barker all sitting on the sidelines on the weekend.

But Goosey has his side fit, and with a “one soldier out, one soldier in” philosophy in place, has his side playing with a real evenness across the field.

“That’s something we want to pride ourselves on, to run games out and have an even contribution,” Goosey said. “It was a hard pre-season, and we trained like we want to play ... to gut run. We also use a lot of rotations and that’s all designed to run the game out.

I’d be kidding myself to think the players could play 100 percent of the time the way we play the game.”

This was an arm-wrestle until Cranny exploded away with six goals, in just 20 minutes of footy, in the third term. Goals to Ryan Davey, Marty Leinmueller, Luke Bee-Hugo, two to Marc Holt, and then an absolute belter on the run from Anthony Vella gave the home side the break it needed.

Bee-Hugo, with three goals, and Max Gearon, were brilliant through the midfield for Cranny, while Holt finished the day with three.

Berwick has overcome an emotional week for the club, giving ROC a 61-point football lesson at Starling Road.

The passing of Ethan Devine, the

Anthony Vella produced the game highlight, a blistering third quarter goal, in Cranbourne’s 22-point victory over Beaconsfield on Saturday.

15-year-old son of Berwick assistantcoach Todd, last Tuesday, saw a minute’s silence held in his memory prior to the match.

Berwick bounced out of the blocks, with livewire forward Mitch Johnson kicking four first-quarter goals as the Wickers answered any doubts about their ability to bounce back after last week’s huge win over Narre Warren.

Johnson was magnificent for the Wickers, crafting an eight-goal haul that was only dulled by a late injury scare.

Nathan Brewster, Matt Rogers and Ben Tivendale were best for the Kangaroos.

Narre Warren warmed up for this week’s heavyweight showdown against reigning-premier Beaconsfield with an 81-point stroll in the park against Tooradin at Fox Road.

The Magpies, coming off back-toback losses, simply did what they had to do, depriving the Seagulls of hope with a dominant defensive effort in the first half, and then converting their chances after half time.

Kerem Baskaya booted seven for the Magpies, while midfielder Matt Lee continued his stellar start to the season and left footers Ben Giobbi and Dale Gawley also had impressive outings. Kyle Van Der Pluym, Adam

EXCISING the wounds of last year’s defeat, Vic Metro Youth Girls reclaimed what is rightfully theirs - the AFL Youth Girls National Championships cup.

A south-east studded Vic Metro side - coached by Dandenong Stingrays’ assistant coach Wayne Siekman - is once again the champion of Australia after knocking off Queensland 3.4 (22) to 2.3 (15).

Playing on the monstrous Mandurah Stadium - which has a bigger surface than the MCG - the first hurdle of the week came and went with flying colours as Vic Metro knocked off the reigning premiers West Australia.

“It was massive - the first two days was very open,” Siekman said.

“We played WA and kicked seven goals day one, Vic Country we kicked eight and Queensland on Thursday in the game that meant nothing we kicked seven.”

Wins over Vic Country and Queensland in the Pool A matches set up a rematch against Queensland in the carnival grand final to decide who would be crowned the best in Australia.

With early goals on the board and ramping up their defensive pressure - Vic Metro was able to kick away and hold onto the slender lead to bring the cup back to Victoria after a 12-month absence.

“Absolutely we’ve gone one better and we had 12 months to work on it and the girls were

By DAVID NAGEL

Vic Metro successfully reclaimed their crown as the top Picture: AFL MEDIA Youth Girls' side in Australia. 138944 just fantastic,” Siekman said.

“We came up with an AFLstyle game plan and had structures in place to offset our smaller, running team and it worked.

“Grand final - pressure was on - it goes up an extra notch.

“We kicked two goals in the first five minutes - which was good news for us as it got the girls up and nearly won us the game as we only kicked one more for the next three quarters.”

Siekman was impressed with his co-captain - Beaconsfield utility Lauren Hojnacki throughout the carnival and in particular in the first two matches where she stood up and took control in the ruck.

“Hojie was super for us on the first two days,” Siekman said.

“Gave us a target up forward and chucked her in the ruck when we needed a bit of a lift as she was co-captain.”

It wasn’t all great news from the week-long carnival though as Cranbourne midfielder/defender Georgia Gourlay ruptured her anterior cruciate liga-

ment (ACL) in the first quarter of the first match of the week.

“Unfortunately Georgia Gourlay did her ACL in the first 10 minutes,” Siekman said.

“She had a tough week, but she was always positive when the girls were around her, which was great as it got the rest of the team up and probably had a small impact on the way we performed yesterday (Sunday).

“Lose the best kick in Australia 10 minutes into the carnival - but it shows the depth of this squad and the commitment of the girls to get the job done.”

She’s got a tough road ahead, but she’s a great kid and she’s got a chance to get back bigger and stronger.”

Five players from Vic Metro were also selected in the All Australian team.

SOUTH EAST JUNIORS VICTORIAN REPRESENTATIVES Beaconsfield: Taylah Clayton, Georgia Fisher, Tyla Hanks, Lauren Hojnacki.

Cranbourne: Georgia Gourlay, Courtney Jones, Kayla Ripari.

Lyndhurst: Emily Rose Browning, Logan O’Connell-Webb.

Officer: Taylah O’Hagan.

Parkmore: Teagan Sheldon.

CRANBOURNE coach Simon O’Shanassy was left feeling a little empty on Saturday after his side came from the clouds in the final quarter but still went down 31-34 to Beaconsfield at Casey Fields.

With nothing working, and trailing 28-19 at the final break, O’Shanassy made some changes, throwing Carissa Rakip back into the midcourt, Alanah Hardy to goal defence and, for the first time all day, re-establishing Jess O’Hanlon and Monalisa Groom as his goalscoring duo.

His moves worked and in blustery conditions the home side charged late but couldn’t rein in a nine-goal deficit at three-quarter time.

“It doesn’t matter how good we played in the final quarter, we can’t be giving teams a nine-goal start and expect to win,” the Cranny coach said from courtside after the match.

“It’s just where we’re at right now; we can play some great netball but just can’t do it consistently for four quarters.”

Kaitlyn Paligorov and Kaela Hughes were brilliant in defence for Beacy while Bianca Sanzaro with 24 goals and Andi Dickson with 10 combined well under the ring.

Cranbourne’s Mona-Lisa Groom provided the match highlight when she flung the ball back over her head, from mid-air, outside the court, with the ball going in without touching metal. She scored eight last-quarter goals to inspire the comeback.

A brilliant third-quarter burst has seen Hampton Park bounce back to the winner’s list, 60-45, against last year’s premiers Doveton at Robinson Oval.

The Redbacks came out firing on the weekend, with Kylie Kiddle’s side taking a six-point lead into half time, and icing the cake with an outstanding 20 goal to 11 third term.

Narre Warren warmed up for this week’s cracker of a match against Beaconsfield by toying with Tooradin, 73-17, at Fox Road.

It was impossible for Cranbourne defender Alanah Hardy to do any more as she looked to stop this shot from Beaconsfield shooter Bianca Sanzaro.

138811 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS The core of the Magpie-machine was at it again, with Chloe Phillips and Tayla Shannon combining well in attack and first-gamer Elly Stewart shooting well in the second half.

Demi Brettoner and Erin Clark were other outstanding contributors for the Magpies, while Michelle Barnes, Ebony Dolan and Tara Smith didn’t go down without a fight for the Seagulls.

Berwick is breathing a deep sigh of relief after outlasting ROC, 41-39, in the thriller of the round at Starling Road.

The experience of Sarah McDermott, Jodie Cranston and Lynne Moyes got the Wickers over the line in the end.

Pakenham had the bye.

Teens tame the greens

By RUSSELL BENNETT THE sky’s the limit for two rising star golfers from Lyndhurst Secondary College, who competed at state level on Monday.

Year 10 students Bailey Clapton, 16, and Dylan LaRocca, 15, won their way through the Southern Metropolitan Region, and district qualifiers to compete at state level on Monday at Churchill Park - where Bailey came fifth out of a field of 80 students, and Dylan also performed exceedingly well.

Lyndhurst teacher Adam Kruger has been with the boys throughout every step of the way in their journey so far, and he says their progress has been nothing short of remarkable - they both continue to lower their handicaps, seemingly on a weekly basis, and each of them wants to see how far their talent will take them in the sport.

Bailey plays predominantly at Berwick Montuna, where his father Andrew is club captain, while for Dylan it’s all about Amstel and Settlers Run. “I’d like to go professional if I could, but if not my other opportunity is to do a tour teaching program, like a coach, and teach little kids how to play the game,” Bailey said.

“Dad got me right into the game and I haven’t stopped since.”

Whereas Dylan got money for his fifth birthday and all he had his

Not even four majors from Endeavour Hills full forward Shane Peake could get the Falcons out of trouble on Saturday.

Falcons get blown away Bailey Clapton and Dylan LaRocca won their way through to tee off at state level golf on Monday.

139032 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT heart set on was a set of golf clubs.

Both boys have golfing idols that they emulate, with Dylan a fan of Adam Scott and Jason Day particularly.

This is the third year they’ve been involved in the School Sports Victoria golfing competition, and they both want to continue right

through to Year 12.

And when it comes to the most challenging part of one of the most challenging sports on the planet both boys are unanimous.

It’s the mental side of it - the ongoing battle for consistency.

“You just can’t let a bad shot get to you,” Bailey said.

Mr Kruger has had the opportunity to watch both boys in action during competition play, and he praised Bailey’s power off the tee, and Dylan’s short game. Yet both of them know that good, strong putting is the key.

VWFL - DIVISION 1 and 3 A SMALL-score victory was claimed triumphantly by Seaford in a 10-8 win over Cranbourne’s VWFL Division 1 side.

10 goals? Eight behinds?

Nope. Seaford thumped 1.4 (10) to Cranbourne’s more minute 1.2 (8) - with scoring tough enough at Casey Fields on Sunday that the half time score was 2-0 favouring the Eagles in a soccer-style scoreline.

The easterly gale stopped Cranbourne’s expansive footy from coming to fruition as all entries were forced wide and out of bounds towards the pavilion.

Thankfully, a couple of goals were earned - in the hardest way possible - as Hayley Wildes booted Cranbourne’s only major of the afternoon as conditions only got tougher through the third term.

Seaford stole one back and that would be enough - taking the baffling two-point win.

“We just couldn’t score,” Cranbourne coach Kris Smith said. “It was like two half back lines playing tennis - that’s the best way to describe it.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a game like that before.

“The wind was killing us - both sides got sucked onto that eastern side and we had chances to score, lots of chances, but didn’t make the most of them.”

Smith believes the two sides will be the ones to beat in this year’s Division 1 campaign and hopes his young Eagles can continue to improve week to week.

“Wouldn’t call it gut-wrenching, but it’s a good lesson for the girls - they’re still a young team starting to gel together properly,” Smith said.

“I’m not going to lose sleep over it - the points in round four are just as important as in round five.

“I think they (Seaford) are definitely going to be up there, and the way we’re going I’d hope we’re up there too.”

Smith praised Tess McEvoy for her hard-edged approach - scooping up a swag of clearances and feasting on the tough footy in and under the packs - as well as Corrine Cullis and Danielle Hardiman across half back to stop the Tigers’ pouncing.

Division 1 Eagles will clash with long-time rival Knox on Sunday from 2pm at Schultz Reserve.

Cranbourne’s Division 3 side fared better against the Tigers, taking a 2.5 (17) to 0.1 (1) triumph and will head to Endeavour Hills on Sunday in the first local-derby between the two sides.

Getting the message, in the pink THE Cranbourne Football Netball Club held its 10th annual Pink Ladies Day at Casey Fields on Saturday with guest speaker Sheila Downey (left) giving the crowd an insight into her three-year-long battle with breast cancer.

By JARROD POTTER SFL DIVISION 3 - ROUND 5 A HOWLING result - both wind wise and on the scoreboard - as Endeavour Hills squandered chance-after-chance against Ashwood.

With a monstrous zephyr buffeting Barry Simon Reserve, all the Falcons and Magpies could do at the scoreboard end was to defend for their lives.

Spraying everything that came its way, Endeavour Hills suffered at the goal-face with 20 behinds going through to let Ashwood off the hook.

Without titan forward Daniel Morrison - derailed by a quad-injury - the Falcons’ didn’t have the mercurial accuracy needed to get the job done. Even with the wind in the final term, Endeavour Hills could not outscore Ashwood as the visitors boot four-goals-one to an embarrassing two-goals-seven.

Shane Peake (four goals) held up his end of the bargain and continued a strong showing thus far in SFL Division 3 while Cade Marshall, Cedric Legrand and Nathan Crutchley were admirable across the field.

Endeavour Hills has fallen from the topfour following consecutive losses and now sits eighth in the pecking order before hosting Lyndale at home.

DIVISION 2 Keysborough continued its merry march through the SFL with a 27-point victory over Skye. Tyson King (five goals) is blitzing all and sundry in the division while Will Gayfer, Shaun Witherden and Daniel Morland were best afield. Doveton Eagles - lost by 66 to Highett - continued to struggle and are at the foot of the SFL Division-2 ladder after five rounds.

VAFA - DIVISION 2 CHALLENGED earnestly for the first time this year, St John’s had to dig deep to come-from-behind to knock off Richmond Central.

A perilously-even clash threatened to go either way, but in the end Ben McGee’s men stood victorious after a four-goal final term clinched the seven-point triumph, 16.13 (109) - 16.6 (102).

Rohan Scott continues to be a lace-out target for the JOCs as he bagged six goals, while powerful defender/ruck Daniel Cattolico also impressed alongside Rhys Dyker and Cameron Christiansen.

The win keeps the JOCs atop the VAFA Division 2 ladder as the only unbeaten side and will host third ranked Old Paradians in St John’s biggest test yet.

Trying out a little Liberty

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE imminent departure of Australia’s previous market-leading Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore family cars is opening up opportunities for a variety of mid-sized sedans that have previously sat in their sales shadow.

One of the best-known of these contenders is the Subaru Liberty which has been on sale here continuously since 1989.

The latest, sixth generation, model was released late in 2014 with some styling changes, engine tweaks and extra equipment.

But the biggest news is some serious price-cutting that has seen Subaru Liberty drop below the $30,000-mark for the first time in more than 15 years.

That $29,990 model is the entrylevel 2.5i - down $3000 against the outgoing equivalent gen five Liberty.

There are even bigger savings in the other two variants with the price of the 2.5i Premium cut by $4000 to $35,490; and the 3.6R now selling for $41,990.

That’s a whopping $14,000 down on the previous model. Additionally, all variants also come with extra features that increase the value equation.

Commenting on these dramatic price cuts Subaru Australia Managing Director, Nick Senior, explained that a number of factors had prompted the

shift: “Most notably the exchange rate, the Japanese Free Trade Agreement and more efficient manufacturing, driving reduced costs.”

The new Liberty range has been cut back to just three models compared to the ten of the previous model.

The Liberty wagon, including the Exiga seven-seater, has now been deleted - no real surprise as most wagon buyers had already switched to either the Outback or Forester.

Also gone are the Liberty GT and X models.

While earlier Libertys have tended to be a bit on the bland side, the more recent models have a classy look and can hold their own with the best of their competitors.

Styling changes for the gen-six model are minor, with a new more subtle front grille and raised rear quarter panels which provide a more muscular look.

Attractive 18-inch alloys are now standard on all variants.

Those moving out of larger cars will be impressed with the Liberty’s interior space which has increased marginally in all directions.

It also feels larger with the A-pillar now further forward, a new front quarter window and lowered dashboard.

The rear seats have been raised by 10 mm to improve passenger visibility

Subaru Liberty has the looks and feel of a much more expensive car. and there’s excellent rear leg and headroom.

The 493-litre boot is well-shaped although the access space is relatively small. The spare wheel is full sized.

In addition to the standard range of safety features, all Liberty models now come with Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist system that provides adaptive cruise control; lane departure warning; lead vehicle start alert (a clever feature in stop/start traffic that alerts a dozy driver when the vehicle in front has moved off); pre-collision braking and brake assist system; and pre-collision

throttle management.

As with almost all Subaru models the Liberty comes with all-wheel drive, hill hold and reversing camera.

New Liberty has a five-star ANCAP rating with its points tally of 35.99 (out of a maximum possible 37) being the highest ever by any Subaru.

Two petrol engines are offered, a 2.5-litre four-cylinder and a 3.6-litre flat six. In the Subaru tradition they are both horizontally-opposed, or Boxer, units with the four generating peaks of 129 kW and 235 Nm (at 4000 rpm) and the six getting to 191 kW and 350 Nm

(at 4400 revs).

The only transmission is a continuously variable (CVT) that now includes a six-step manual override operated by shift paddles.

The entry-level Liberty 2.5i uses a 6.2-inch touch screen and comes with Bluetooth (with intuitive pairing) phone and audio streaming; voice command recognition; and USB and Auxiliary sockets that are conveniently located at the front of the centre console for easy access.

The two Premium models get a 7-inch screen; satellite navigation; Harman Kardon audio and a second USB jack; and a 7.0-inch screen.

It also allows the Pandora app to be controlled via touchscreen.

Subaru is one of these carmakers who attract loyal customers and they’re sure to be joined by plenty of converts with Liberty’s combination of value and quality.

Inquire at Subaru Fountain Gate, 1 Prestige Place, Narre Warren. Phone 9771 4500.
