Search for jobs “Since the 2014 State election, Casey now has 1930 more unemployed people directly attributed to the Andrews Labor Government that continues to destroy manufacturing and local jobs,” Ms Peulich said. “Families in the City of Casey have been left reeling from such economic losses.” However, the government is standing by its unemployment rate record, which it said had dropped 1.1 per cent across the state since October 2014. In a statement, a government spokesperson said major government funded projects being initiated in Casey would help alleviate the job pressure. “The Andrews Labor Government promised to get Victorians back to work, and since being elected in November 2014, has created more than 184,000 new jobs across the state - with more than 111,000 of those full time.” “We’re investing in local projects like the Thompsons Road upgrade, the Caulfield to Dandenong railway line upgrade and upgrading Cranbourne Secondary College.” “The government has also allocated $10.5 million for Melbourne’s south-east from the $33 million Local Industry Fund for Transition, designed to create new jobs for retrenched automotive workers.” The government also said
they had been playing catch-up in the labour market after winning the election from the previous Napthine Liberal Government. “After the four years of inaction by the Liberal Government there is still work to do - we recognise that there is still work to do,” the spokesperson said. A spokesperson from the City of Casey has said growing jobs in the region is a significant focus for the council. “The City of Casey has a strong commitment to creating local jobs for our local residents.” “Attracting investment into the region is a priority for Council, along with supporting existing businesses to grow and assisting residents to find employment.” City of Casey Council say they work hard at providing local jobs through a number of job creation initiatives. “Council undertakes many initiatives to boost local employment including hosting industry forums and the South East Careers Expo,” the spokesperson said. “Council also works closely with industry leaders such as Chisholm, South East Local Learning and Employment Networking and Job Active Providers to maximise opportunities for employment for local residents.”
Photos are Santa’s Chrissy pet project CHRISTMAS shoppers at Fountain Gate had the opportunity to create precious memories with their fur babies this year with the shopping centre offering Santa Pet Photography. For the first time ever, family pets were front and centre in annual Christmas photos, thanks to Westfield and The Secret Life of Pets. Alicia Kwan from Scentre Group and her dog Buddy took advantage of the opportunity to get this holiday photo. The photos were offered as a complimentary service to celebrate the release of the Secret life of Pets film on DVD.

FIGURES released by the Federal Department of Employment show that the unemployment rate in the City of Casey is higher than the state average. The latest employment statistics show that unemployment in the City of Casey is sitting just under eight per cent, whereas the state average is currently just under six per cent. Opposition politicians have hit out at the current state government for allowing the unemployment rate in the South East to climb. Member for South-Eastern Metropolitan Region Gordon Rich-Phillips said the premier was only interested in providing jobs in the inner suburbs. “Daniel Andrews is too focussed on pleasing wealthy inner city lefties, and has forgotten about real people struggling to find work and fight the increasing costs of living in Casey,” he said. “A 17.5 per cent increase in the number of unemployed people in Casey, including a 67.9 per cent increase in Cranbourne East, represents a complete failure of Daniel Andrews’ promises to bring new jobs to Casey.” Another State Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich said the high level of unemployment in Casey would hit families the hardest.

Casey crime up By Victoria Stone-Meadows

Soccer stars share mad skills By Cam Lucadou-Wells SOME of Brazil’s finest soccer players shared their immense skills and exuberance in a sports clinic at Maranatha Christian School, Doveton. As part of the Tour of Hope, former World Cup members such as Mineiro, Elivelton, Paulo Sergio, Fabio, Felipe, Lamartine and Robert told students
what it was like to be idolised as national heroes. The players performed soccer tricks, posed for photos and autographs, much to the awe of staff and students, Maranatha principal William Jackson said. “It was definitely a day for all to remember and there were many high fives and laughs among staff, students and players.”
LATEST crime statistics show an overall increase of 17 per cent in the number of offences between September 2015 and 2016 across the Casey municipality. The City of Casey saw the largest increase in abduction and related offences and justice procedures. Abduction and related offences are crimes that include abduction, false imprisonment, slavery and sexual servitude or any crime that hinders a person’s personal movement or freedom. From September 2015 to September 2016, the City of Casey saw a 70 per cent increase in these types of crime per 100,000 of the population. With an offender number of 49 over the 12 month period to September 2016, a person is abducted or held against their will in the City of Casey at a rate of almost one a week. Justice procedures includes crimes that hinder the justice system such as escaping from custody, failing to appear in court and resisting or hindering an officer had a 208 per cent increase across the population. Other types of crime that increased in Casey over 12 months are theft by deception, burglary and break and enter, arson, robbery, and homicide and related offences. Statistics from the Crime Statistics Agency of Victoria show that while the City of Casey has had an increase in crime overall, it is not the most crime-ridden area in the state. The top five local government areas for increases in crime over 12 months are Melbourne, Latrobe, Yarra, Horsham, and Greater Dandenong. However, the crime stats do show some areas of crime across Casey have fallen including government regula-
tory offences falling over 60 per cent across the area. Government regulatory offences include crimes related to betting and gaming, liquor and tobacco licensing, pornography and censorship, intellectual property, and prostitution. Another area where crime has fallen in Casey is the cultivation and manufacture of drugs, with a fall of about 50 per cent from September 2015 to 2016. Victoria Police Superintendent for Southern Metro Region Paul Hollowood said the figures reflected the trend in increased police reporting of various types of crime. “Much of the increased offending centres upon vehicle crime such as theft of and theft from vehicles that are primarily used in respect to the commission of secondary crime including robbery, burglary, theft, and arson,” he said. “Much of the assault, abduction, stalking and harassment relate to family violence incidents.” “We’ve had a zero tolerance approach to family violence which is reflected in the rise in justice procedures and breach of orders offences.” Superintendent Hollowood also said the increase in crime figures could also be attributed to the high number of police and more active duties over the last 12 months in Casey. “The increase in recorded crime is also attributable to increased police activity, particularly by our local Criminal Investigation Unit, Divisional Response Unit and the Southern Metro Region Crime Team who are undertaking a broad range of targeted investigations into criminal groups,” he said. Statistics from across the state show that crime committed by youth
offenders under the age of 18 is quite low; this trend reflects trends reported in the News on 8 December. Crime Statistics Agency Chief Statistician Fiona Dowsley said that the majority of offenders were adults. “In the year to September 2016, only 12 per cent of offenders were aged between 10 and 17, and more than half of all offenders were aged between 18 and 34,” she said. However, Shadow Minister for Police Ed O’Donohue sees the increase in crime in the City of Casey as a direct result of mismanagement by the current premier. “These statistics just confirm what every resident in Casey already knows,” he said. “That our community has become less safe under Daniel Andrews with home invasions, carjackings, drive-by shootings and gangs such as Apex running amok.” Mr O’Donohue called on the Andrews Government to take a tougher stance on crime to prevent the rates climbing any higher. “Under Daniel Andrews the justice system is in crisis due to weak sentencing, watered down bail laws, repeal of move on laws, cuts to frontline police and closure of police stations,” he said. Superintendent Hollowood meanwhile urged people to take care over the Christmas break and warned everyone to ensure their security measures were up to scratch. “The important message is that as we move into the traditional holiday period, unattended houses and businesses can become easy targets for criminals,” he said. “It is important that adequate security precautions are taken if you are away from your vehicle, home or business.”

Big boost for leisure By Victoria Stone-Meadows THE Casey Indoor Leisure Centre has had a big funding boost, with the announcement of a $650,000 grant through the Community Sports Infrastructure Fund. MP for Cranbourne Jude Perera made the announcement on Friday 16 December and said the new centre would provide the facilities the community needs. “Grassroots sport in our local area is really popular, and local players deserve the best facilities. That’s exactly what we’re delivering,” he said. “For too long, communities all over Victoria have had to contend with ageing facilities. We promised we’d help clubs update tired grounds and build the facilities they need.” The new centre will have a new gymnastics facility including floor space and amenities and an upgraded indoor sports centre with flexible netting for a variety of floor layouts to cater for indoor cricket, indoor soccer, high performance cricket training, futsal, and multi-purpose
courts. City of Casey Councillor Steve Beardon, who represents the Cranbourne area, said the funding shows the relationship between local and state governments in the South-East is working well. “This is fantastic support from Jude Perera MP,” Cr Beardon said. “We are very pleased to have a well-oiled working relationship with our local MP and very happy to have his support and additional funding for the Casey Indoor Leisure Centre.” The new centre will cater for a number of grassroots sporting teams and groups and allow sport participation in Casey to increase. “This is a fantastic centre, one many enjoy and one set to become one of Australia’s best regional facilities right here in Cranbourne,” Cr Beardon said. The new works are expected to begin at the start of March and have an expected completion date just seven months later in October. City of Casey Group Manager Active Communities James Rouse
Take said that the grant would mean completion of the upgrades to the centre would be more expansive than originally planned for. “Council is close to completing its $18 million redevelopment of the regional basketball and netball facil-

ity at CILC," he said. “This grant will allow us to go ahead with delivering further enhancements at the centre, including the creation of a new gymnastics facility and indoor cricket and soccer centre."
Festive fun ushered in By Victoria Stone-Meadows THE Berwick Business Group hosted another successful and thrilling event on Saturday 10 December with their maiden Christmas in Berwick extravaganza. The inaugural event attracted over 3000 visitors to the township where families, friends and all community members enjoyed the best of Berwick at Christmas.
The street was abuzz with families enjoying Santa photos, having a great laugh in the ugly jumper photos and watching performers from Cathy Lea Dance, The Casey Choir and BeaconHills College. The event was made possible through a partnership between the Berwick Business Group and local Casey business Redsteps Event management.
A Muslim Christmas feeling By Victoria Stone-Meadows A PARTNERSHIP between the Hampton Park Uniting Church and the local Muslim community has shown the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Casey. The Church’s annual community Christmas Lunch will be staffed by a group of local Muslim volunteers in a bid to show the positive relationship multiculturalism has had with the area. Michael Boss from who attends the Uniting Church says the partnership this year shows the true meaning of working together. “The event is made possible by volunteers from the congregation and the general community and
Hampton Park Uniting Church,” Mr Boss said. “The culture of Uniting Church is that everyone is created in the image of God and no matter their background or faith they have gifts to contribute to the community, thus when the offer came from local Muslims to volunteer we grabbed it with both hands.” Muslim volunteer Inaz Janif said the partnership between the Uniting Church and the local Muslim community shows the two groups are here to work for their shared community. “In a time of division and fear, Muslims and Christians are coming together for the betterment of the local Casey community,” she said.

Mr Boss said this event is an opportunity to dispel myths that have created a divide between cultures and hopes everyone can take the opportunity to make an effort to work side by side. “There are people within our community who believe that Islam is incompatible with Australian culture and that Muslims don’t like (and want to water down) Christmas,” he said. “The image of Christians and Muslims working together to serve others on Christmas day dispels these myths and sends a strong message of unity and solidarity.” “Jesus is a revered prophet in Islam and Muslims are more than happy to celebrate Christmas with
Reverend Mat Harry, Michael Boss and Inaz Janif will all be working together at the Hampton Park Uniting Church Christmas lunch. 163446 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS us; we refuse to fear each other and will continue to come together in a spirit of mutual respect and friendship.”

A STORY about jewellery store Alex and Ani in last week’s Berwick News incorrectly stated that all jewellery sold from the Alex and Ani brand in Australia would support four charity partners the RSPCA, Lifeline, the Special Olympics, and UNICEF. Sales of four of the store’s Charity by Design Bangles help support charity. Ten per cent of the sale price of these bangles goes directly to the respective charity. The rest of the range has nothing to do with CBD and does not contribute to the charities.

Casey has a lot to say By Victoria Stone-Meadows
The results from the Casey Next Survey will be used by City of Casey Council to inform their view of the local government policy they create and form the basis of their next four-year plan. “Council is now better informed about the community’s priorities, their expectations of council and what their ideas and hopes are for the future of Casey,” Mayor Sam Aziz said. Cr Aziz said thanks to the success of the survey, the community can expect more chances to directly engage with council vision and direction. “Casey Next allowed council to test the principles of its refreshed Community Engagement Strategy,” he said. “Residents can expect to have many more opportunities to get involved and have their say in the future on council matters.”

SAFETY, inclusivity and thriving activity; these are what the people of Casey want according to the results of the massive Casey Next survey conducted by council. In the largest community engagement survey undertaken by the City of Casey Council, Casey Next asked more than 3600 Casey residents ‘What’s next for the City of Casey?’ The survey, conducted between July and September this year, aimed to gauge what residents wanted for the rapidly expanding area and the results have been released. According to the survey, the residents and people of Casey had a safer community at the top of their priorities. The survey showed that all age groups had safety as the most important area of improvement across the municipality, with 29 to 58-year-olds the most concerned. Results showed people want improvements to Casey that would see more police on the streets and harsher penalties for vandalism and graffiti. People also called for more CCTV cameras in public spaces, more opportunities for work or learning for vulnerable groups in the community, cleaner streets, and more neighbourhood watch groups. An inclusive place was the second highest recurring theme in the survey responses and showed to be particularly important to people aged 19 to 28 and 59 to 68. Survey responses showed that people in Casey want to see more inclusivity across a range of diversity groups including age, sexuality, religion, race, ethnicity, income and ability. Overall, people called for more social programs that would connect people of varying classes and groups to one another to make the communities of Casey more inclusive to everyone. Just some of the suggestions made by survey respondents included community activities where people can meet their neighbours and interact

THE new kid on the block has been around before. The rapidly growing area of Cranbourne has just attracted a new real estate agency, which opened its doors on 1 December. Peninsula Property Centre took over the old KLM office on 171 Sladen Street, opposite the police station, which used to be a real estate agency for many years. Gabriele Frenkel is the director and Officer In Effective Control, a fully licensed estate agent with 11 years of residential sales and property management experience and a local resident of Warneet. Her small team of four pride themselves on providing excellent service, honest feedback and achieving the
best results for both sellers and landlords. In the relatively short time of 5.5 years prior operating in the Baxter and Somerville area Peninsula Property Centre achieved not one, but three annual customer service awards from Word of Mouth Online as a result of many happy customer service testimonials. Their motto is, talk to the expert you can trust - so give them a call or drop in for a visit. The market is still running hot and there are many qualified buyers and tenants on their books waiting for a new home. For more information, check www.Realty1.net.au or call 5978 0044.
BACKPACKS FULL OF CARE
FOR SALE
Brian Rodwell 0438 031 566

WHEN the team at SJD Homes met with Sally Ritter, the founder of Backpacks 4 Vic Kids, and heard that in 2013-2014 in Victoria alone, 3210 children were placed in out-of-home care, it certainly pulled at the heart strings. Sally explained that children are placed quickly into foster care or emergency accommodation without much more than what they are wearing at the time which can be a very frightening and stressful time for them. As a past foster carer herself, some of the stories Sally told were heartbreaking. Backpacks 4 Vic Kids provide quality backpacks and nappy bags to children aged up to 17 years old entering foster care in Victoria. Backpacks or nappy bags contain size and gender
appropriate contents including essential items (such as toiletries), clothing, PJs, a torch, blanket and a toy or activity which will belong to the child, and will stay with them should they be relocated and will help them feel more settle and secure. In 2015 Backpacks 4 Vic Kids delivered 732 backpacks. Demand has grown dramatically and to date this year the group has delivered 1300 packs to children in need. It operates solely on donations sought through fundraising grants and sponsorship. After hearing this, the team at SJD Homes wanted to help. Staff now bring in items to donate for the backpacks and a live band fundraising night was held which raised more than $9800.
The live band fundraising night raised more than $9800. The estimated cost of a pack is $50 so the money will be used to purchase items for more backpacks and also help go towards the $29,000 that goes towards one year’s rent and overheads of the organisation’s current premises, which it has already outgrown. Backpacks 4 Vic Kids are a registered Not For Profit charitable organisation run by volunteers and provides
valuable support to children in need. Anyone who would like to help Backpacks 4 Vic Kids to continue to support more frightened and needy children can visit its website to see how they can help at www. backpacks4vickids.org.au or call 0412 205 943. Visitors can also help create awareness by liking its Facebook page.

Business profile
On ya bike, mate LOCALLY owned bike store chain, Bicycle Superstore, is looking back proudly on a year of community engagement and contribution. The retail chain operates eight stores from Geelong to Mornington, including one at Fountain Gate, but hasn’t let this broad vision affect its local community perspective. Bicycle Superstore has a mission to make bike riding accessible to all - because bike riding is fun, it’s healthy and helps to keep us connected to our community. Bicycle Superstore staff believe that everybody can benefit from cycling, no matter their location or circumstances. Many of the stores organise their own group rides in the early morning or in the evening, which are particularly popular during the summer months, giving customers the opportunity to meet like-minded bike riders and to discover new places to safely ride. Bicycle Superstore has also offered skills training sessions on mountain bike trails and also hosted a number of demonstration days, offering free trials on the new season’s mountain bikes at Lysterfield Park and the You Yangs. During the year, Bicycle Superstore partnered with the City of Casey to support programs for local schools, including the Walk2School program, and will be involved again in its school holiday program. It has also

Ismail Mohammad with his daughters Nargis and Benazir. 163041 supported Scouts Victoria’s big annual raffle as well as local Scout groups. Bicycle Superstore also became involved with Berwick’s Insight School for the Blind and Vision Impaired, conducting an information session for its students and donating a bike and scooter to assist the students in their quest for greater mobility and independence. Bicycle Superstore has long been associated with Bikes for Humanity, a not-for-profit charity which organises the shipment of good quality used bikes to communities in developing countries. When customers decide to buy a new bike this Christmas, Bicycle Superstore also welcomes the donation of
their old bicycles, destined for a second life in Africa where they will allow new business opportunities to be created and countless families be given new mobility. Coming into the holiday season, Bicycle Superstore offers a huge range of kids and family bikes, commuter and classic bikes, a new range or electric bikes, in addition to performance road and mountain bikes - backed up by advice from its experienced staff who will ensure that everybody can be matched with a bike that meets their particular needs.

Season for family minus the gifts By Cam Lucadou-Wells FOR the Mohammads, Christmas means a time for family - barbecues in the park and watching fireworks even if there are no exchanges of gifts. Ismail, his wife Jawahir and his three children, as Afghan Hazaras, more closely observe Eid and Nawruz celebrations during other times of the year. “We believe that Eid and Nawruz are our Christmas,” Ismail says. “It is a time for feeling happy with others.”
During the jollities, special cakes are prepared and family members host one another in their homes. When Ismail first arrived in Sydney in 2012, Christmas with families flocking towards the beach - was a new experience. He quickly realised it was a human celebration, a chance to appreciate family and friends. On Christmas Eve, the family huddle together watching fireworks outside the famous carols concert at Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
The next day, they’ll meet other families for a picnic and barbecue. His daughter Benazir, 11, said it seemed similar to Eid - which marks the end of the Muslim tradition, Ramadan. At school, she’s been making Christmas cards for friends and teachers. She’s not too jealous of school friends getting Christmas presents. After all, as part of Eid and Nawruz, she’ll receive a new dress and money from her family.

Kooweerup's Charli 'Charch' Russell has the wakeboarding world at her feet.
Others left in her wake By Russell Bennett WHAT Kooweerup starlet Charli Russell has achieved so far in her burgeoning wakeboarding career would barely cause a ripple compared to the waves she’s set to make in the years, or even decades to come. Better known as ‘Charch’, her reputation already precedes her and she’s making some of the sport’s biggest superstars stand up and take notice. In fact, some of them have even been in the boat watching on as she’s performed her array of jaw-dropping manoeuvres.
In the space of the past 12 months, Charch finished seventh in her age group at the Australian nationals, second in the Victorian state titles, and won Rising Star and Rookie of the Year awards. On her way to winning Rookie of the Year, she won four of the five competitions - finishing with the highest points tally. Charch was set to ride in one of Australian wakeboarding’s own ‘State of Origin’ events - Victoria versus South Australia - back in November but the event had to be cancelled due to
flood waters in Mildura. She’s had hardly any training so far this season, but just a couple of weeks ago she came second in the New South Wales/ACT State of Origin in Canberra. The following day she backed that brilliant performance up with third in the first leg of the Australian Open, with the second set to be held in South Australia at the end of January. Charch also walked away from her weekend in Canberra with the judges award, and just happens to be the youngest rider to ever win Wakeboard
Victoria’s coveted Rising Star award. Her ride on the Sunday was the highest scoring ride in her division across the weekend, and in a sport where riders have to be noticed to be properly recognised, she’s making a huge name for herself. The quality of young female riders rising through the sport currently is incredibly high, and it was Charch who stood out above the pack. Now, she’s performing all her tricks from wake-to-wake, meaning she jumps over the wake, rather than into the middle of it.
She’s got a full range of 180s, and now she’s working on 360s and rolls. Charch has to keep a particularly strong mindset and stay supremely physical fit over the coming years, but her dedication - heightened by the encouragement of her family - knows no bounds. It’s clear to see that the sky is the limit for this young pocket rocket. Charch has received invaluable support from the likes of Elevated Clothing Australia and Ski Force Melbourne throughout her journey so far.
Dogs ready for Gippsland Sprint to the finishing line TRAINERS from Gippsland and kennel stars from across the state are set to compete for a share of more than $800,000 in prizemoney during the Gippsland Carnival which kicks off at Sale on Boxing Day. The first running of the Gippsland Sprint Series will see Melbourne Cup runner-up Jesaulenko and Pantera Nera represent the Gippsland region in hope of becoming Gippsland Sprint Champion. The Pakenham South-trained Dundee Osprey headlines the $107,250 Group One TRFM Sale Cup field which includes a number of Gippsland stars including Zipping Kane, trained near Sale by Carolyn Jones. Dundee Osprey, trained by Geoff Scott-Smith is one of the fastest greyhounds of the modern era and is likely to start favourite over the testing 650m of the Sale Cup. “It is great to be part of greyhound racing, especially when they are supporting our local Gippsland region,” Scott-Smith said. Hazelwood North-based trainer Gavin Burke has reigning Traralgon Cup winner Pantera Nera targeting the sprint side of the Gippsland Carnival. “It’s a time to celebrate greyhound racing - GRV are providing our struggling communities not only with funds through local businesses but putting on a carnival where people can enjoy a day out at the greyhounds without
breaking the bank,” Burke said. “The Gippsland Carnival can be life changing, especially with more than $800,000 up for grabs. “It’s great to be a part of it and if you can take a small piece of the pie I’m sure it will go a long way to making the New Year even better. “It’s good to have the sprinters and the stayers running in the same atmosphere and the same point system with both type of greyhounds being given a chance to hold the Champion Stayer or Sprinter title.” Western Bulldogs captain Bob Murphy, who was born and bred in Warragul, is the ambassador for the carnival. “The Carnival brings Gippsland together, shines a light on the region and is going to be a good thing for all Gippslanders and visitors," Murphy said. The Gippsland Carnival is a regional Australian-first, connecting four country cups from Sale, through Warragul and Cranbourne to Traralgon. A sprint and distance series will link all four legs with a Gippsland Champion Sprinter, and Gippsland Champion Stayer, crowned at the end of the carnival. The TRFM Sale Cup will kick off the excitement with its traditional race meeting on Boxing Day, while Traralgon will wrap it up with a grand finale on March 25. Warragul’s feature night will be

held January 28 with Cranbourne taking centre stage February 11. Families can also go in the draw to win a trip to Disneyland, by getting their ‘passport’ stamped at two of the four cups. With an underlying theme of ’flying colours’, Colours on Course will give everyone a chance to win a prize for best dressed. Alex Osmond, from Her Wardrobe,
was recently announced as fashion partner and has encouraged everyone to get involved. “I am extremely excited to come on board as a fashion partner with Greyhound Racing Victoria, for their inaugural Colours on Course competition,” Ms Osmond said. “I hope to see as many women and men as possible, dressing to the colours and patterns of all eight greyhounds,
with judges looking for the most styling representation of this.” Greyhound racing generates about $40 million for the Gippsland economy, employing hundreds of local people. Across Victoria, greyhound racing makes a substantial contribution of more than $300 million to the economy, employing more than 3000 people and generating $1.8 billion in wagering.

Hawks knock Eagles hard By Nick Creely DDCA TURF 1 & 2 REVIEW - ROUND 6 (Day 2) WITH top-spot on the line, HallamKalora Park were simply inspiring, knocking the reigning champs Cranbourne off its perch, to take top-spot over the Christmas break. Eagles champ Steven Spoljaric elected to bat, where they got off to a solid start, putting on a 50-run partnership for the first wicket before both were dismissed quite quickly. Spoljaric (81 not out) once again dominated the opposition and was just simply too good, and combined with Matt Chasemore (27), put on a valuable 79-run partnership to lift the Eagles to 9/189 off their 40 overs. And it took until the very last over, but the Hawks ran down the hefty total, largely thanks to a terrific knock by Corey Booth (47 not out) and cameos from Jagveer Hayer (34), Jordan Hammond (29) and Leigh Booth (26). Eagles bowlers Steven Spoljaric (1/29), Tim Fathers (1/23) and Cameron Kelly (1/34) all toiled hard in a tough day. Ian Daniel’s special individual performance has seen Narre Warren lose outright for a second consecutive game. After already conceding first-innings points last week, the Magpies resumed the day’s play at 4/29 and with a miracle needed to salvage a positive out of the game. The Magpies eventually succumbed to 166 off 59.2 overs, setting the Bloodhounds just 53 runs for a crucial outright victory. And the Bloodhounds were merci-

Special praise needs to go to Daniel, who had a wonderful game, taking 5/18 and 1/24 with the ball, while with the bat made 102 not out and 39 not out.
Parkfield have entered the break in disappointing fashion, capitulating to a hungry Heinz-Southern Districts bowling outfit at Parkfield Reserve. With a total of 277 to win, a lot had to go right for the Bears, and it didn’t, with three early wickets halting any chances of pulling off an upset.
Lee Brown (4/31) was the pick of the bowlers for the Cobras, while Mark Davies, Chadwick Van Estrop and Paul Stockdale were all major supporting acts. A total of 36 wickets were taken across two days at Greaves Reserve, but Berwick walked off with an em-
pathetic and defining outright victory over Dandenong West. The Bears wasted no time with the blade, swinging hard, as Adam Watson (36), James Wilcock (28), Jarrod Armitage (36) and Jarrod Goodes (30 off 12 balls) all played cameos, before declaring at 6/179 off 33 overs. But a Jarrod Armitage special saw the Westers rolled in just 30 overs and 86 runs on the board - the quick taking 6/27, including a wicket in the first over, to stun the home side. Skipper Jarrod Goodes (2/25) was solid again with the ball, while James Wilcock (1/6) bowled with great pace and aggression. After last week’s washout, a 40 over per side one-dayer was played, with Springvale South taking vital momentum into the break, belting a disappointing North Dandenong outfit. North skipper Jurgen Andersen elected to bat at Lois Twohig Reserve, where they started positively in the first eight overs before the Bloods took over to roll them for 117 in 39 overs. And the Bloods wasted little time to run down the runs, 23.2 overs in fact, as they secured second spot on the ladder. And Buckley Ridges have narrowly avoided defeat, chasing down 155 against Dingley at Souter Oval after a slow start with the bat. In Turf 2, Beaconsfield has won outright over Silverton, with Dylan Freitag (4/34 and 7/21) starring with the ball. Cricket will return to the DDCA on 7 January.

VIC PREMIER CRICKET REVIEW - ROUND 12 (Day 2) IF there was one team in the competition this season that could defy the odds and chase down 350, it’s Dandenong. Coming into the round as ladder-leaders, the confidence out of Shepley Oval was at an alltime high. But now the Panthers must head into the Christmas break sitting in third position, after almost pulling off an unlikely run-chase against Carlton at Princes Park. After Nick Ross plundered a spectacular 130 not out to lift the Blues to 351, the pressure was on as Tom Donnell and Brett Forsyth strode out to the wicket to face the music. The star duo have slaughtered oppositions for many years, and with players having relatively quiet seasons in comparison to their lofty standards, the mood was that they were due for a big score. And despite starting quite slowly, the Panthers looked on track, knocking the ball around with comfort en route to 62. The class of the openers was evident to see, and with the Blues bowlers desperate to claim the first wicket, they were resolute in defense. But then the first domino fell, as Blues quick Scott Woodman (3/80), playing his first game at the top level, got through the gates of star batsman Brett Forsyth (22). It could have been the make or break of the day’s play. With the foundation set, UK import Callum Parkinson, who has complied an impressive season with the blade, kept the momentum flowing, and with some solid stroke-play with Donnell, put on a terrific 90-run partnership that had the Panthers in the box seat. But the triple-strike by leg-spinner Matt Culvenor (3/47) within the space of 30 runs, saw Parkinson (59) and Donnell (80) and Edward Newman (6) walk back to the sheds in disappointment. Some aggressive resistance by Lincoln Edwards (45) and the star all-rounder James Nanopoulos (59) saw the score reach 5/279, and with plenty of overs and only 72 runs left to win. It seemed like one of the most impressive wins
Brett Forsyth (keeper) could only watch on as the Panthers just fell short. Picture: CONTRIBUTED in a stellar season for the Panthers was truly on the cards. But late strikes, mostly by Ryan Sidebottom (2/64), halted the momentum of the Panthers, as Cameron Forsyth (3) and Tanner Stanton (6) both fell cheaply, and then Adam McMaster (3) fell just before stumps. All-rounder Callum Parkinson said that it was a disappointing result, but was pleased with the fight of the group. “We are disappointed not to get the target,” he said. “We batted well - Tommy (Tom Donnell) with 80, me and Nano (James Nanopoulos) 59 apiece and LJ (Lincoln Edwards) 45, but noone went on to get the 120 or 130 we needed to get us in a position to get over the line. “They were defensive very early on, ring fields and Sidebottom bowled very well. “Also Ryan Quirk showed good bottle at the end to get us a draw in a game- I don’t think we deserved to lose. “But throwing away starts is very frustrating.” The game was eventually drawn, as the Panthers survived until stumps at 9/320, still 31 runs short of victory in a brave effort. But the consequence in such a tight season will have the Panthers finally chasing some tail after failing to secure any points, after both Camberwell and Fitzroy-Doncaster enjoyed crushing wins, and as a result, now occupy the first two spots heading into the break.

By Nick Creely WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCIATION - REVIEW ROUND 8 (One-Day) KOOWEERUP proved a class above in the Premier division, easily brushing aside Upper Beaconsfield in their clash at Upper Beaconsfield Reserve. The home side elected to bat, and despite a terrific half-century to keeper Julian Bayard (57), the Maroons were kept to just 156 off 37 overs. Demons skipper Mark Cooper (4/35) continues to get the job done, while Cal O’Hara (2/35) and Jack Bacon (2/13) continue to impress. And the Demons chased down the total with relative ease, as Jess Mathers (52 not out), Ben Spicer (44 not out), Mark Cooper (30) and Matthew Davey (23) got the job done. The Demons now sit four points ahead on top of the ladder heading into the Christmas break. A spectacular hat-trick from Tooradin paceman Russ Lehman was not enough to see his side home, as Pakenham registered a crucial victory right on the break. The Gulls won the toss and sent the Lions in to bat, and despite a slow start and several stars back in the sheds, the middle-order, led by Rob Elston (39) and Dom Paynter (24) set a decent platform for later in the innings. And that momentum carried through, as Jason Williams (36) and Sean Gramc (40) provided some late fireworks to lift the Lions to 9/192. But the story was Russ Lehman, who took a memorable hat-trick - his first wicket being Jack Anning (0), second being Gramc, caught by Andrew Proctor, and then the third was a stumping by Tom Hussey to remove Williams. But the Gulls got off to the perfect start, as Dom Paynter picked up Daniel Hunt (0) first ball of the innings. Resistance came from skipper Tom Hussey (53), who played a terrific counter-attacking knock, but once he was stumped off the bowling of Sean Gramc (4/32) it was game over. The Gulls ended on 160 off 35.1 overs. Emerald has shocked Merinda Park, defeating them by five wickets at Donnelly Reserve. The Cobras were sent in, as Manu Goraya (64) lifted them to an imposing 8/187 off 40 overs. Ian Litterbach (3/35) was the pick of the bowlers for the Bombers. In reply, the Bombers, particularly Jason Burns (82), were sensational, reaching the total with 2.4 overs left and five wickets in hand. And another century by Neil Barfuss (100) has seen Cardinia dismantle Pakenham-Upper Toomuc in a one-sided affair. The Bulls made 7/280 off 39 overs, with Bradley Reiner (57) also amongst the runs. Then Dwayne Doig (5/17) stole the show with the ball, helping his side clean up the Yabbies for just 128 off 24.2 overs. Meanwhile, in the District Division, Kalgidhar have remained in the strong-hold of second posi-
Vikings batsman Ammar Bajwa shows off his expansive stroke-play. 163322 tion, after brushing aside Cranbourne Meadows with relative ease at Lakeside Oval. The Rebels elected to bat, knocking around 150 off 37.5 overs before being bowled out. Kalgidhar bowlers Gagan Singla (3/25), Sunny Paul (2/22) and Simran Mann (2/23) were all outstanding. In response, the competition’s surprise packets were merciless, belting the ball to all parts and overtaking the Rebels within 22 overs. Devon Meadows were a class above, dismantling Tooradin by over 100 runs. A brutal half-century by Matthew Hutchinson (55 off 38 balls) lifted the Panthers to 9/204 off 40 overs. Chris Brennan (4/39) found some form with the ball, while Tim Lenders (2/33) was consistent as always. And despite a sparkling half-century to Kane Latham (53 off 34 balls), the Gulls were rolled for just 91 in a disappointing batting display. Officer has just fallen short of a thrilling victory, narrowly going down to Clyde at Lineham Oval. Constant wickets halted their momentum in the middle overs, with Anthony Marsden (2/12) particular effective.
But a late flourish by Cougars trio Nick Miles (14), James Abou-Jaber (10) and Nick Sadler (16 not out) lifted them to 9/186. And the Bullants just fell short by just four runs in a terrific effort with the bat. Braydon McHugh (39) and Ash Smith (30) threatened to take the game away from the Cougars, but late wickets ensured they would fall just short. Cougars opening bowler Nick Sadler (3/25) was the difference, while Nick Miles (2/25) bowled accurately and took vital wickets. And finally, a defiant and unbeaten century by Nar Nar Goon/Maryknoll skipper Daniel Glen was not enough to register their first win of the season over Carlisle Park Vikings. After the Vikings amassed a brutal 3/248 off their 40 overs, Glen (115 not out) stood tall in one of the performances of the year, as the Marygoons fell for just 166 in 39.3 overs. And in the Sub-District Division, Aura Vale has comfortably knocked off Clyde by four wickets at Narre Warren East Reserve. Some cameos from Dean Williams (22) and Zac Davis (19) lifted them to 143 off 34.4 overs. The Lakers were relatively untroubled in pursuit of the total, reaching it with five overs and four wickets to spare. Paul Hoenderdaal (25), fresh off his century last week, was top-scorer again. Nyora has crushed a disappointing Pakenham by eight wickets in a one-sided affair at Nyora Recreation Reserve. After the Lions won the toss and elected to bat, it all went into disarray, losing three quick wickets before being stunned for just 72 off 31.2 overs. Dylan Ford (3/5) destroyed the tail, while Gavin Hackett (2/11) and Peter Gillian (3/21) were impassable. The Maroons wasted little time with the bat, as Jake Hackett (39 not out) guided them home in just 20.1 overs. Gembrook made it difficult, but Catani has overcome some shaky moments to register a crucial victory at Catani Reserve. The Brookers elected to bat, and they lost an early wicket, and were never really able to recover despite a cameo from skipper Cam Williams (30 not out) - they finished all-out for just 112 off 29 overs. And the Cats eventually found the runs in the 35th over, with Brad McDonald (38) top-scoring. And finally, Cardinia has just fallen short to Lang Lang, in the game of the round at E Gunton Oval. The Swamp Tigers elected to bat, with Owen Milton (70 not out) playing a terrific knock to guide them into a strong position of 5/197 off their 40 overs. And the Bulls very nearly pulled the chase off, with skipper Brad Remy (90) playing a stellar knock. Cricket will return in the WGCA on 7 January, in what will be a round of one-dayers.

The Speedcars raced recently in Portland with Nyora developed competitor Mitch Whiting coming out on top as

Tucson joins a top team By Derek Ogden IS IT, I wonder, an attempt at quirky Korean humour that the new Hyundai Tucson, celebrating 30 years in Australia, requires turning the ignition key to start the engine (no push-button fireup) and eschews satellite navigation. It certainly takes me back more than a quarter of a century to the times when Hyundai was a funny little cheap-andcheerful car. How things change. Hyundai is now consistently in the top three sellers in Australia with 10 or more per cent of total sales and has a huge range of quality vehicles. Seriously, the limited edition 30th anniversary medium-size Hyundai SUV stands shoulder to shoulder with a special edition of its cousin, the Santa Fe large SUV as a reminder of the South Korean marque’s success downunder with advanced levels of performance, special features and value for money. Only 300 examples of each vehicle are bound for Australia. At $37,750 the Tucson ‘30’ Special Edition, plus on-road costs, sits in the centre of the Tucson range and is covered by the Hyundai iCare program and includes Lifetime Service Plan, five-year unlimited kilometre warranty, satellite navigation updates, complimentary roadside assist for 12 months on new vehicles, complimentary first
