were right in the thick of it.”

The rubble in the paddock is believed to include a farm building demolished several years ago.

“Everything was going through the mulcher and it was going everywhere,” Mr Weaven said.

“There were huge dust clouds. It wasn’t just mulch flying out. It was 50 per cent dirt.”

Neighbour Ismail Catak said one of his children was playing outside dur-

A WorkSafe spokeswoman said inspectors, who attended the site several times, were satisfied the work was in accordance with occupational health and safety laws.

“WorkSafe will continue to monitor works at the site.”

A City of Casey spokeswoman said the Council was aware of the residents’ concerns and the matter would be referred to the EPA and Worksafe as the responsible authorities.

ing the dust storm which “really worries me”.

“I didn’t know about the asbestos.”

Meanwhile, neighbours Neccla and Recep Yildiram say a swarm of wasps disturbed during the trees’ removal and observed chasing away a chainsaw-wielding contractor may have rehomed within the walls of their home.

Ms Yildiram was treated at hospital for several hours on 19 February after her hand was stung several times by the angry wasps inside her home.

Moremac Property Group director Bryce Moore said all works were conducted according to strict occupational health and safety guidelines.

“Any suggestion to the contrary is a bit of mischief-making.”

Mr Moore said asbestos had been found in several areas on the estate bounded by Centre, Homestead and Greaves roads.

It had been cleaned up, inspected and certified under EPA and WorkSafe requirements.

Residents' fears of asbestos contamination at the proposed Alira residential estate in Berwick will be referred to the EPA and WorkSafe.

Families believe their homes may have been showered in asbestos-laced dust, during excavation works on the site.

But WorkSafe and the estate’s developer Moremac Property Group are adamant that asbestos had been removed from the estate according to occupational health and safety laws.

Residents have been left pondering the health risks after, without warning, heavy machines kicked up a rubbleand-mulch dust-storm into their Bounty Way yards on a hot, windy day in late January.

Over the following two weeks, excavators pushed down trees and disturbed partially-covered building rubble metres from their back fences, residents say.

Mark Weaven, a resident, husband and father of two young sons, said a fragment that landed in his backyard during the works was formally confirmed as asbestos.

According to the test report by Triple ABC on 15 February, the particle consisted of “unstable” or “damaged” chrysotile asbestos.

The report recommended prompt removal of the debris.

Mr Weaven said contractors had failed to dampen down and prevent the dust escaping during the works, nor warned residents of the presence of asbestos on the site prior to the works.

“I’ve already had a near-death experience with cancer, so psychologically I know how fragile our lives are.

“It may never come to pass, but we shouldn’t have been put at that sort of risk.

“There were families and kids having a party on Australia Day. They

MPs’ remote control plan

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Fountain Gate Primary School's student leaders with principal Jennifer Duggan 164617 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

School is in good hands Judith Couacaud Graley says she continues to live in Mt Martha to be close to family and friends.

Luke Donnellan offered little explanation for living far from Narre Warren North.

North seat, confirmed via a spokesman that he didn’t live in the electorate, but offered no further explanation.

“Luke doesn’t live in his electorate,“ the spokesman stated.

Eastern Victoria Liberal MP Edward O’Donohue accused the two parliamentarians of treating their electorates with “contempt”.

“Judith Graley in the past has promised to move into her electorate. Why hasn’t she?”

Mr O’Donohue said.

“How can the Roads Minister (Luke Donnellan) understand the daily frustration of his constituents with traffic delays and congestion, when he lives in a leafy inner suburb, far removed from such daily challenges?”

The issue came to light after a report in Fairfax Media on 21 February.

It stated that 13 government MPs, including seven ministers, live outside their electorates.

EXTENDED!

A new crop of student leaders have been installed at Fountain Gate Primary School.

The new school captains Sajjad, Zubair, Amy, Atalyia, Narwan and Sienna, and vicecaptains Rayven, Grace, Ed and Ali-Sina were

elected by peers in the first days of the 2017 school year.

Students also elected the Hattslotto captains, who run the Sunsmart program. They are Anthony, Nicholas, Samphors and Jayden.

Motorist flees to police refuge Police are looking for the occupant of a grey Nissan Pulsar who injured another driver when he threw a Jim Beam can at a car on the Monash Freeway on Friday 10 February.

The two cars were travelling outbound on the freeway near EastLink just before midnight when an occupant of the Pulsar threw the can into the driver’s

side window of a black Honda.

The can hit the driver, a male in his sixties from the Casey area, in the face and caused a laceration.

The vehicles then continued down the Monash Freeway in and out of traffic before the victim exited at Stud Road and then turned into Heatherton Road, with the offending ve-

hicle still following.

The driver of the Nissan continued to harass the driver of the Honda on Heatherton Road by tailgating, flashing headlights and cutting the driver off.

The driver of the Honda eventually did a U-turn at James Fawkner Drive and pulled into Endeavour Hills Police Station.

Casey-based state Labor MPs Judith Couacaud Graley and Luke Donnellan have come under fire for living about 40 kilometres away from their electorates.

Ms Graley, a Narre Warren South MP, said she lived in the bayside town Mt Martha to be close to friends and family.

Ms Graley said that she had been re-elected to her seat three times by voters on the back of a “strong record” including new roads, schools, jobs and Casey Hospital’s expansion.

“I listen to local residents and I respond by getting things done that matter to their families.

“Three times the Liberal Party had run lazy and incompetent nuff nuffs against me, candidates who didn’t listen or care about the issues that matter to local families.

“The Liberal Party has done absolutely nothing for this vibrant and growing electorate, and local residents know that.”

Ms Graley also took aim at the “many useless” Casey councillors that “neglect and avoid local residents” unless “there is an opportunity to run as a Liberal candidate in a State Election”.

Council cap fits

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Picture: ALDONIO FERREIRA

Roundabout slam who is the ward councillor for affected residents, had “completely turned his back on us through this whole process”.

He criticised Springfield Ward councillor Rex Flannery for “succumbing to pressure and raising no objection”.

“This is a sad day in the history of Casey.

“It appears democracy for the people is lost.”

Residents had campaigned for the two-lane roundabout to be shifted north across Hallam Valley Contour Drain and onto the proposed Alira housing estate.

Casey Council officers estimated the option would put the council at “significant risk” of paying up to $4.2 million.

The option would potentially involve a complex re-design of the drain to ensure water flows, flood mitigation and the protection of a threatened fish, the Dwarf Galaxias.

The council’s preferred $5.2 million option would be paid by devel-

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey councillors have defied protestors and unanimously supported a controversial expanded roundabout at the front of the exclusive Berwick Springs housing estate in Narre Warren South.

About 100 residents rallied outside Casey Civic Centre after councillors passed the decision without debate on Tuesday, 21 February.

Spokesman Michael Ball headed a campaign with about 1200 petition signatures to oppose the destruction of the estate’s landscaped, bluestone wall entrance to make way for the Greaves Road roundabout.

“We’re stunned and outraged that no councillors in Casey opposed what can only be called the complete vandalism of our estate.

“It was passed through in a minute with a block of other agenda items.

“One resident passed me a note saying: ‘Why do we have a council?’”

Mr Ball said mayor Sam Aziz,

oper Moremac Property Group and VicRoads.

It would include replanting trees and reinstating a new gate entry to the estate.

Cr Flannery said he would advocate for residents when Moremac submitted a permit application for the roundabout.

“There was no point standing there fighting a losing battle. I knew I was going to get flogged.

“The developer still has to get a planning permit, then consultation will be taken up with residents by the council and they will have a better hearing.

“It’s not done and dusted yet.”

Cr Flannery said he was still weighing up the potential cost to Casey Council to shift the roundabout north.

“I support rate-capping, so would I put my hand in the council’s pockets for an extra $4-$5 million for this?”

Mayor Aziz said Cr Flannery showed himself to be a leader by

backing the council officers’ recommendation.

Cr Aziz said he had to look after another 309,000 residents who would have to pay for a problem “not of our own making”.

He said that estate residents would realise they’d been “led up the garden path” at project’s end, resulting in improved traffic flows and a reinstated gateway entrance.

“We’re talking about a very small group of residents brainwashed by a chief agitator.

“They should have gone to their state MPs and said look at what your government has gone.”

Moremac Property Group director Bryce Moore said the developer would not have contributed to the residents’ preferred model, stressing environmental concerns were the “driver”.

“I’m pleased the council reached that conclusion but not surprised.

“There was a solid body of work on where the roundabout was best located.”

Berwick Springs residents give the council decision a unanimous thumbs down. 165228

Casey residents’ rates will rise by no more than two per cent in 2017-'18, after councillors voted to not seek a rate cap variation.

According to a council report, the council did not have an “immediate financial need” for a higher rates rise but was likely to apply for a variation in future years.

It however claimed that the State Governmentimposed rate capping regime would cause a $180 million infrastructure gap over the next decade for new kindergartens, community centres and sports grounds.

“Operating in a growth area, council has a long-term need to seek rates above the imposed rate cap, as a rate cap does not allow council to deliver the infrastructure and services our growing community expects.”

Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association claimed victory in its “ongoing campaign against excessive rate rises”.

In a statement, it said the council’s claimed infrastructure black-hole was scaremongering and a “warped version of reality”.

“It is scaremongering, based on a flawed notion that if there is a shortage of council income the only solution is to increase rates,” CRRA president Arvo Talvik said.

“Now that there are a few new faces on council who are willing to speak out against excessive rate rises, it seems that the mayor and the CEO of Casey no longer have free reign on their endless quest for higher rates.”

Mr Talvik said Casey’s $250,000 application for a variation to the Essential Services Commission failed, yet the council remained in a strong financial position.

Mayor Sam Aziz said the CRRA assertions were “laughable”.

“They have no idea, no influence and no understanding of the budget process.”

Cr Aziz said the council had not required a variation because it had been assisted by $8 million in state infrastructure grants in late 2016.

“There’s still a black hole that’s been filled in 2017-'18 thanks to a few State Government grants.

“There’s still a problem in future years if we’re not supported by government grants.”

Bats fly out of Berwick

By Victoria Stone-Meadows SWARMS of grey-headed flying fox bats have been visiting the region recently.

Rose Griffiths said she has had seen large numbers of bats flying over her house on Beaumont Road in Berwick.

“When I was sitting in the pool, I would see this big bats flying over,” she said.

“I would also see them when driving along the Monash, and again a few days later near Heatherton Road and all the way along the edge of the freeway out to Berwick.”

“It’s the first season I’ve ever seen them; about two weeks ago they were there every night.”

Michael Johnson from the Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale said while larger bats are not common to the area, late summer is their breeding season and they become quite active at this time of year.

“We don’t really have fruit bats in this area but you might see them occasionally coming further up the Yarra,” he said.

“They are ones people see around the city but we don’t see them here very much, they might come looking for fruit from time to time.”

“It is breeding season in the summer and there is lots of food about and they are affected by small changes in the weather.”

Mr Johnson said it was more

A grey-headed flying fox bat. 165034 common to find micro bats that eat insects around the southeast suburbs.

“We mostly have small bats with a body size about that of a mouse,” he said.

“They live in nooks and crannies of timber buildings and are completely harmless.”

“They actually eat insects and on average will eat 600 mosquitoes a night so they can be very good to have around.”

The grey-headed flying fox is the most common bat to southern Victoria and will sometimes travel long distances from their colonies in search of food.

Program Manager of Resource Protection and Management for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Suriya Vij said the bats have been seen in odd locations this year.

Picture: DELWP

“We are seeing grey-headed flying foxes in some different places this year,” she said.

“Eucalypts usually provide a large portion of their food source but their flowering has been late and erratic this year, so flying-foxes have had to look elsewhere for food, including backyards, orchards and parks.”

Grey-headed flying-foxes are listed as a vulnerable species nationally and threatened in Victoria so are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975.

“It is an offence for a person to destroy protected wildlife, with maximum penalty for a person found guilty in court of this offence being $7558 or imprisonment for six months or both,” Ms Vij said.

“We are fortunate to be able to enjoy wildlife such as flyingfoxes so close to home.”

Tricks, flips and spins at Berwick Show

By Rebecca Skilton The Australian Mountainboarders have been travelling the world sharing their secrets since their establishment in 2010.

Now, Beaconsfield resident and Australian Mountainboarders founder, Dylan Warren, is set to bring his team of thrillseekers to the 2017 Berwick Show - and they’re inviting everyone to get involved.

“Saturday and Sunday we’ll be doing stunt shows; there will be demos with the big ramp (and) we’ll be showing all our tricks, flips and spins,” Dylan said.

“On Sunday we’ll be doing the same thing, but we’ll be offering lessons afterwards.”

Since appearing at last year’s Berwick Show, Dylan and his team have been in high demand, appearing at a number of events across the country; their eye-popping performance even landing the team of trickers at the 2016 Australian F1 Grand Prix.

“Throughout last year we did Berwick show, Red Hill Show (and) Caulfield (Family Day),” Dylan explained, listing only a few of the teams many appearances.

“We also did the Grand Prix; that was the biggest show by far.”

With mountainboarding originating in San Francisco through the mid-1990s, the Australian team of boarders describe their sport as “ a way to ride a wide variety of terrain in the same way they might skate, surf, or snowboard on it but without the need for pavement, waves, or snow.”

Yet while mountainboarding

Australian Mountainboarders Dylan Warren and Joel Lee performing at the 2016 Berwick Show. Photo: Courtesy Aaron Petty truly has taken Dylan and his team across the world, Dylan maintains that encouraging the Australian community to become involved with the sport has remained one of the group’s leading priorities.

“We’ve started doing lessons every Sunday at Akoonah Market. We take a bunch of boards and little ramps, where kids can try it all out,” Dylan explained.

“We (also) do a mountainboard program at Mount Baw Baw each month where we give lessons to kids and adults...it’s a great way to be outside and get active.”

Despite having introduced thousands of kids across Australia to mountainboarding, Dylan hasn’t spent too much time thinking of himself as a role model, instead choosing to view his role as simply sharing

his enthusiasm for the growing sport. “(Mountainboarding) is my passion ... I try my best to stay motivated and help (the kids) out as much as possible,” Dylan said. “The scene and community are really welcoming, passionate and supportive ... it’s a big community thing.”

Dylan and the Australian Mountainboarders will appear on the main stage at Berwick Show on Saturday 25 at 8.30pm, and Sunday 26 February at 10.30am, 12.45pm and 3.15pm.

Last chance

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Narre Warren woman who has pleaded guilty to a spate of charges including car theft, petrol drive-offs, running a red light and dangerous driving has been warned by a judge that the “softly softly approach” was coming to an end.

Lucy Hall, 24, was on bail and breaching a community corrections order for much of her past year of offending, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard on 20 February.

Hall faces sentencing on not just her recent offences but on the 45 charges that led to the community corrections order.

She was told by magistrate Jack Vandersteen that she was “right on the cusp”.

“The softly, softly approach isn’t working with you now.

“If you commit a further offence while you’re subject to my orders, you’ll have to explain how long I am to put you in jail for.

“How many court orders can you be put on?

“How many can you breach?

“How many lies can you tell in between?”

Mr Vandersteen noted Hall’s driving offences - allegedly committed in Northcote in February 2016 - were the most serious.

They included dangerous driving, running a red light, travelling the wrong way on a roundabout, reckless conduct endangering life and theft from a motor vehicle.

He told Hall to be honest about the “wrong people” she was associating with, and to start obeying court orders.

“You’re showing more loyalty to (your associates) than your close family.

“I imagine your family is at their wit’s end. They wouldn’t know who you are.”

Hall was most recently arrested on 13 January after allegedly stealing with a male co-accused about $584 of hardware and door and window furnishings from Bunnings in Narre Warren.

She had also pleaded guilty to petrol drive-offs at Hampton

Park, Frankston and Eastlink in September and October, and travelling in a vehicle stolen from Dandenong in October.

Hall was described by her lawyer as getting a “wake-up call” after spending a night in custody and taking a judge’s “stern words on board” after her arrest on 13 January.

The accused was seeking long-term drug rehab. Her eight previous detox programs of about 10 days each were not long enough to produce lasting change, the lawyer said.

“She’s really trying to cut down,” the lawyer said.

“She’s working very hard.”

Recently, Hall had left a home shared with a male coaccused and had sought companionship with a dog instead.

Mr Vandersteen bailed Hall on conditions including a night curfew, performing a drug test, reporting to Narre Warren police station and not associating with her four co-accused.

Hall is expected to be sentenced at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 6 March.

Beating the toll Re: The death toll on Victorian roads.

With an average of 262 deaths each year in the last five years, the death toll has increased. In 2016 the death toll was 292 which is the highest of the five years. There has been a dramatic increase from 2015-'16, so we need to find a solution to this horrible issue that we are facing.

Studies have shown that in 2014-'15 about 48 people die from drink-driving on Victorian roads. A solution to this is to install an alcohol tester in every car and if the tester finds the blood alcohol over the limit of .05, the car should not even start.

Seatbelts are another thing, in 2015, 31 people have died because they were unrestrained. There should also be a way for car to detect if all occupants are wearing seatbelts before the car starts.

Everyone gets tired while driving but your life depends on it - in 2015, 50 people have died from fatigue and 300 have been injured.

With four seconds of a driver helplessly driving at 100km/h they have already gone 111 metres with no control, so everyone should install a tracking device which will start beeping if it thinks your car is a bit out of control to solve this problem.

The most common age-group of death on the roads are people aged 70-plus because

as we get older our reflexes get weaker, so it might be the chief reason for accidents with an elderly driver.

I think we should give free public transport to all over 70, as this will encourage the elderly to use public transport.

This will not only reduce the amounts of death on road but also will be good for our environment.

The Victorian Government should consider these suggestions if they are serious saving lives of Victorians.

They are seen as being more effective for Israeli covert political operations.

The danger is that Casey councilors, especially councilors with far right political connections, may in future be lured into becoming Mossad agents for the Israeli secret service.

John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

Ray’s say

Spies like us The question that needs to be asked now about Casey Council’s support for a plan to explore the development of a sister city link with Israel is this.

If Casey council has no business plan which shows tangible economic benefits for Casey ratepayers from any sister city link with Israel, why does council support such a plan?

The Age newspaper pointed out (see The Age editorial column, 20 February) that Israeli spies have been active in the past using counterfeit Australian passports to conduct covert operations and collect intelligence.

The Israeli secret service uses females for spies.

Pub flasher holds sway

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man has told a court that he had no memory of wilfully and obscenely exposing himself outside a Doveton pub.

The man sat with his head in hands at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court as he heard how staff at Prince Mark Hotel had seen him drop his underwear and touch himself about 8.20am on 20 December.

Before the incident, the apparently “substance affected” man was a regular at the hotel.

That morning, he had been wandering in the car park after first entering the hotel through an unlocked door.

He later told police he was

embarrassed by his behaviour.

“I can’t believe I was sitting there having a tug,” he said.

“F***, I deserve a smack.”

The accused’s lawyer told the court the man was drunk and medicated but not ice-affected, having cut all his drugtaking associates from his life.

He had formerly used about a gram of ice a day and was proud of the progress he’d made on a community corrections order.

He now feared he was facing a jail term for breaching his corrections order by offending.

“He doesn’t usually drink,” the lawyer said.

“He started drinking by himself for a number of hours and

doesn’t remember the incident.”

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said the act was “out of character” for the man, who was doing well on his community corrections order, was in full employment and passing his drug screens.

“I can’t believe you were doing it either.

“When you abuse alcohol, it can undo all the good work.”

Mr Vandersteen fined the man $1000 and added judicial monitoring to the correction order’s conditions.

“Don’t do this again,” Mr Vandersteen said.

“It’s hugely embarrassing to you.”

Gas leak at play centre

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Almost 150 people had to be evacuated from Chipmunks play centre in Cranbourne on Sunday 19 February after the heating and cooling system leaked gas into the centre.

CFA, Police and Ambulance crews were called to the centre at 1.20pm after staff had detected a smell of gas in the air and some of the patrons had devel-

oped dizziness.

Ambulance Victoria crews treated patients at the scene of the incident and carried out health checks on staff and patrons of the play centre.

Cranbourne CFA Senior Station Officer Ian Glass said it didn’t take long for his crew to find the source of the gas leak.

“We were inside finding the origin of the leak which turned

out to be a split system heating/ cooling unit had leaked a refrigerant,” he said.

“It is a non-explosive gas we found with our detector, and so we ventilated the area and had to close the place down for the day.”

Ambulance Victoria said a number of people were assessed but no emergency medical care was required.

market were looking for more affordable options and leaving smaller ecological footprints. The initiative also offered portability, reduced stamp duty costs and was an alternative to renting.

“They tick so many boxes,” Cr Stapledon said.

Cr Geoff Ablett, in welcoming the investigation, said the “unique proposition” worked well in parts of Gippsland and offered an alternative to the housing developers’ estate model.

Cr Steve Beardon, who opposed the motion, said he didn’t want “design suburbs of trailerpark living”.

“The government needs to invest in quality affordable housing at subsidised rental, close to activity centres, hospitals and schools.

“Tiny homes are a solution for our homeless but not a lifestyle or suburb vision I share.”

Coming at a small fraction of the cost of a traditional Melbourne home, are Tiny Houses the solution to unaffordable homes?

Casey Council is investigating how the “Tiny House revolution” of small, portable homes that could be carried on trailers and parked in backyards can be incorporated into Victoria and Casey’s planning regulations.

Fred Schultz, of Castlemaine-based Fred’s Tiny Houses, says his two-storey corrugated-steel homes with solid timber interiors aren’t for everyone.

It requires an austere lifestyle, including living “off the grid” with solar panels on the home’s roof and minimal electric appliances. But it also helps create a better work-life balance, Mr Schultz said.

“It’s about not having a huge mortgage, not having to work so hard to afford a house.”

His 7-metre homes - though some are as short as four metres - cost $120,000 for an off-the-grid version.

But “shells” in which buyers can have their electrics installed could cost as low as $30,000, Mr Schultz said.

“Some are just basically a bedroom that can be parked close to other services, such as a bathroom in a main house.

“They’re probably for a single person or a couple that gets along well.”

Mr Schultz first moved into a Tiny House after turning 50 and realising he was never going to afford the “dream” house.

“I believed my parents when they said if you work hard, you can have whatever you want.

“But I found it wasn’t the case.”

Cr Amanda Stapledon, who raised the council motion on 7 February, said Tiny Houses in medium-to-high density areas could contribute to housing diversity and affordability.

She said young people entering the housing

A mobile lighting trailer is on its way to Narre Warren SES after receiving a $45,000 State Government grant.

The trailer not only supplies up to 20 hours of light from a tower but doubles as an emergency power generator.

Currently, the unit’s only mobile lighting unit is mounted on one of its vehicles. Having the trailer frees up that truck for other emergency work, says

member Tim Howell.

Deputy operations controller Sally Higgs said the unit had its busiest year of callouts since the 2011 floods.

More than 1100 callouts were recorded in 2016, spiked by more common storm and heavy-rain events.

That was an average of three call-outs a day for the unit’s 45 volunteers.

As the only unit for Casey’s vastly-spread 300,000-plus

population, it is lobbying for an extra branch in Cranbourne.

The grant was part of a $15 million Emergency Services Volunteer Sustainability Grants program.

Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said the grant would assist the SES in its “outstanding job” in keeping the community safe.

Grant applications can be downloaded at emv.vic.gov.au/ esvsgrants.

Are you prepared for grassfire?

If you live in a rural area surrounded by grasslands or paddocks, you could be at risk of grassire. Travelling at speeds of up to 25kph, grassires can quickly threaten lives and property. Reduce your risk, slash or mow grass to create fuel breaks around your home, and avoid using machinery near grass on hot, dry, windy days. The reasons why are black and white.

Music prodigy

By Cam Lucadou-Wells There was a sublime meeting of musical minds at Insight Education Centre for the Blind and Vision Impaired on 21 February.

In the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music room, 15-year-old student and prodigy Francesca Lachman freejammed for an hour with two US-based accomplished performers - Grammy award-winning pianist and percussionist Alberto Lopez and poet-rapper Oveous Maximus.

Her father and school founder Alan Lachman said the two visitors were left with their â&#x20AC;&#x153;mouths hanging" after the session - in which Francesca was unafraid to take the lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were clearly surprised

and amazed by the complexity of what Francesca was able to do, ad hoc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the first chance Francesca was able to connect to other world-class performers live in that way.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Lachman said an unabashed Francesca went into beatbox mode as her visitors first walked into the room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Musically, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely not shy,â&#x20AC;? Mr Lachman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She becomes a different human being. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re world famous - as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll engage.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Lachman recalls a time when Francesca composed a four-movement classical piece in 40 minutes in front of a journalist.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were no errors, just expressions of emotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For her, everything is tied to an emotion or movement.â&#x20AC;?

After starting piano at 2, Francesca - who also plays guitar and percussion - is set to embark on the public stage.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launched her website, with U-tube clips, recordings and a list of her encounters with other world-class performers such as classical musician Alan Kogosowski.

Oveous Maximus will meanwhile return to the school to again meet Francesca and other students in coming weeks.

Francescaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website is at francescalachman.com.

FOR FOUNDER FRANK, IT WAS ALL ABOUT LOCATION This year heralds a remarkable milestone for the real estate industry throughout the south-east.

The companies originally established by Frank Facey in Dandenong in 1917 will this year celebrate a century of success.

Such an achievement is exceptional given the historical instabilities of the early 1900s and subsequent social and economic challenges throughout the decades.

The success and growth of Frank Facey Real Estate has been influential in facilitating the early and current development of the City of Casey and Cardinia shire.

In the early 1900s, Frank Facey was an accomplished carriage builder in Dandenong.

Back then, the region was primarily broad pastoral runs with commercial and business needs being met by an emergent township.

By 1917, Frank Facey was so motivated by the infinite potential

An early Facey Real Estate office in Dandenong.

for growth in the south-east that he took the intuitive decision to delve into the world of real estate.

He purchased his first real estate business in that year and it was this inspired event which mapped out a successful future for his children and grandchildren.

Frank Facey was a man of integrity and high morals. He became a sworn valuer and a Justice of the Peace.

He then continued his personal accomplishments to achieve presidency of the Real Estate Agents and Auctioneers Frankston/Mordialloc branch and was appointed to the central council in 1935.

As World War II came to an end, the region experienced an influx of migration and commerce.

Blacksmiths and carriage builders made way for motor vehicles and modern industry.

The Dandenong regional hospital was built, General Motors

Holden, Heinz and International Harvester all became established in the region, creating exciting employment opportunities and the need for residential development.

Frank Facey had positioned himself in the right place at the right time and with his keen eye for business and strong values, he was instrumental in initiating positive change for the region.

Frank Facey’s early success continued through the generations and today his original company has broadened its horizons to include operations in Dandenong, Mulgrave, Endeavour Hills, Berwick, Narre Warren and Pakenham.

These businesses now include First National Neilson Partners, First National Hall and Partners, Parklea and Facey Industrial Commercial.

For more on the Facey dynasty and the company’s centenary celebrations see this week’s Pakenham-Berwick Gazette.

LAND BOOM GATHERS PACE AS SIZE SHRINKS, PRICES RISE AND LAND The average time on the market for new land in Melbourne’s growth corridors has dropped below 60 days as the current upswing continues to gather pace, according to research by property group Oliver Hume.

The research, compiled from analysing thousands of transactions and examining trends at nearly 200 projects throughout Victoria, shows the average time on market for land in Melbourne in the final quarter (three months to end of December) of 2016 was just 1.9 months, the lowest ever recorded.

Demand for land is also pushing prices higher and making lots smaller, with the average price per square metre of land in the city’s growth corridors now exceeding $570 per square metre in the December quarter 2016.

The median price of land reached $239,000 in the final quarter of 2016, up over 8 per cent from $221,000 in the September quarter 2016.

Over the same period the median lot size declined from 427sqm to 416sqm.

With the exception of the first quarter of 2015, the average time on market has now fallen or remained steady in every quarter since the third quarter of 2013, after peaking in the current cycle at 6.6 at the end of 2012.

Oliver Hume Research Manager George Bougias said affordability, record population growth and continued low interest rates remained the key drivers of demand.

“Despite the increases we have seen over recent years Melbourne is still below many other regions in Australia,” he said.

“With buyers having similar access to low interest rates, an improving economic and jobs outlook in Victoria and Melbourne’s relative affordability is

ensuring the city keeps coming up the winner.”

Mr Bougias said Victoria’s population growth was a key underlying factor in the demand for land.

Figures recently-released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that Victoria’s population is now larger than ever before and looks set to continue growing strongly.

In the year to 30 June 2016, the state’s population grew by more than 123,000 people, or 2.1 per cent.

Victoria recorded the fastest population growth of all states and territories, adding more people than any other jurisdiction.

This robust population growth is expected to continue with Victoria’s population projected to hit 7 million by 2024.

Mr Bougias said the market had now spent essentially three years below the time on market of three to five months that Oliver Hume considers ‘equilibrium’, where supply is largely meeting demand.

Oliver Hume director Paul Ciprian said while competition had kept prices in check from 2012 to 2015, the last 12 months has seen demand impact prices and average size.

“With prices and sizes going in different direction we have seen a sharp kick in the average price per square metre, up over 11 per cent in 12 months and over 23 per cent in the last two years,” he said.

“These price increases may moderate demand in the medium term but we do not see any macro issues that will impact the trend in the short term,” he said.

“So we expect prices to continue rising throughout 2017.”

BERWICK WATERS RESIDENTS PLANT THE SEED Residents of Berwick Waters got a nice surprise with the delivery of nearly 600 free potted succulents to every household in the Frasers Property Australia and Mondous Property development.

The mass delivery effort on Saturday 21 January was part of the Greenshoots Project that is designed to welcome new residents to the area.

As each household received a plant they were encouraged to send a message of welcome to future residents, including their tips and advice for how to make the most out of their new life in Berwick Waters.

Messages will be compiled and formed into a display in coming months.

Frasers Property Australia’s General Manager Residential Victoria Sarah Bloom said the Greenshoots Project was just one of many initiatives by the developers to ensure new residents were supported in making new friends and feeling part of a community.

“We know that moving to a new home can mean having to find new connections and friends and that’s not always easy,” she said.

“We have a range of programs to help make that transition easier for our customers.”

Frasers Property sponsors free weekday Live Life Get Active fitness classes at Waterfront Park in Riverstone Boulevard at Berwick Waters.

The 9.30am classes cover boxing, yoga and cross training and are free to anyone, not just Berwick Waters residents.

On Saturday 4 March Frasers Property and Mondous Property will hold a free outdoor screening of Kung Fu Panda 3 at Waterfront Park with activities for kids starting at 6.30pm and the movie at 8.30pm.

The City of Casey will provide a sausage sizzle and popcorn.

“Anything that gets Berwick Waters residents out and about, having fun and meeting each other is good for the community so we see it as a great investment of our time and effort,” Ms Bloom said.

Berwick Waters launched in 2011 and since then more than 1000 lots have been sold and more than 500 homes built.

Buyers cite the large block sizes and the accessibility to various educational options, including the adjacent Hillcrest Christian College and the nearby St Catherine’s Primary School, Berwick Chase Primary School, Alkira Secondary College and St Francis Xavier College, as reasons for buying in Berwick Waters and Monash University’s Berwick Campus is just five kilometres away.

MP needles Sex Party

By Victoria Stone-Meadows MPs have expressed concerns that the introduction of a medically supervised injecting room in North Richmond could see the facilities popping up in the South-Eastern suburbs as well.

As the debate over the proposed facility in the inner suburb rages on in the news and in parliament, Member for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region has bought the debate into her area.

“Police crime stats show that there had been a whopping 17 per cent increase in Casey and many of these crimes were directly related to drug abuse,” she said.

“If we further soften policy, we can be looking at drug injecting rooms in Cranbourne, Berwick, Narre Warren and Hallam.”

However, there has been no mention from the MP who introduced the private member’s bill into parliament, The Sex Party’s Fiona Patten, that there are plans for injecting facilities anywhere other than Richmond.

Ms Peulich said any change to the current way drug laws and treatments are administered would have detrimen-

tal effects on communities all over the greater Melbourne area.

“This would herald a dramatic shift in drug policy and Richmond would just be the first cab off the rank,” Ms Peulich said.

“This push from advocates to have them (injecting rooms) established in areas with drug issues and Cranbourne and other surrounding suburbs have a big issue with ice.”

Ms Peulich said she would prefer to see a strengthening of current drug laws and an expansion of existing support services for drug users instead of establishing injecting facilities.

“We need to address ice addition in our suburbs and also the role of bikie gangs in the South-East in the manufacture and distribution of drugs,” she said.

“There is a much better way, and I did say to Fiona, that the Yarra Council’s opposition to CCTV seems like a logical place to start; put in place CCTV in to address the issue of trafficking and dealing and arrest the people responsible.

“We can’t just be treating the symptoms of the problem.”

Ms Patten has hit back at these claims from Ms Peulich, saying that injecting rooms were the answer for cleaning up city streets while treating and saving lives of vulnerable users.

“60,000 used needles in streets is a massive safety issue,” Ms Patten said.

“Residents and their children walk around worrying whether they will get injured and instead of action, Inga wants to just sit back and watch like it’s some awful reality show.”

“Well I’ve got news for her, it’s not a show. That 17 per cent increase in drug-related crime is on her and any other politician that thinks a sit-backand-watch approach prevents crime.”

“Ms Peulich just perpetuates that problem, proposing more of the same that led to this nightmare in the first place.”

Ms Patten is adamant that medically supervised injecting centres in Melbourne would have mental health, medical, housing and other services included to target and treat users.

The debate over safe injecting rooms in Melbourne has been controversial at best, with both Labor and the Opposition saying they wouldn’t sup-

port the bill, but a state coroner speaking in favour of it.

Coroner Jacqui Hawkins stated recently that following the inquest of a young mother who overdosed on heroin in a Melbourne fast food restaurant, she would wholeheartedly support an injecting facility.

“On the evidence before me, I am convinced that a safe injecting facility in North Richmond is an essential intervention that could reduce the risk of future heroin overdose deaths occurring in circumstances similar to those of Ms A,” Ms Hawkins said.

“It is clear that MSIC has been successful in Sydney and has helped save many lives.”

“In conclusion, I support the establishment of a pilot safe injecting facility in North Richmond and accordingly have made that recommendation.”

The Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC) in King Cross in Sydney opened 15 years ago and research has shown it has helped save lives of users and end people’s long-term drug use habits.

According to evidence submitted to the coroner, the MSIC averages about

150 visits every day and has “managed“ 6500 overdoses.

During the 18 month trial period for the MSIC staff managed 329 heroin overdoses where most would have been fatal if they had occurred elsewhere.

In an independent financial evaluation of the MSIC undertaken by Saha International Limited, it is believed that the MSIC needs to prevent 0.8 deaths per year to return a positive outcome in economic terms.

Ms Patten believes these statistics from the MSIC show the success of injecting rooms in tackling the drug use rate and flow on effects in communities.

“Compare the referral success of the Sydney MSIC with the complete non-success of jailing users,” Ms Patten said.

“If you want to be tough on crime, you strike at the source. That’s what a MSIC allows you to do. That’s why they are in more than 90 cities and that’s why they get results.”

“Perhaps Ms Peulich needs to tap into the Kings Cross CCTV so she can see for herself how its MSIC has transformed the area.”

School’s engaged in deep learning Educators know that wellbeing and intellectual engagement are the cornerstones of happy successful learning.

A young person’s wellbeing is crafted from a clear understanding of their identity, strong relationships and active participation in a purposeful, high achieving community that has a clear understanding of the values and missions that sustain it.

According to St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School principal Annette Rome, recent work on engagement also differentiates between social, academic and intellectual.

Ms Rome said social engagement links to feelings of belonging, academic engagement reflects commitment to work such as regular attendance, completion of set work, and intellectual engagement is defined as ‘serious emotional and cognitive investment in learning’.

“Schools have to make a concerted effort to scaffold the learning opportunities to enable the emotional and cognitive elements.

“This involves knowing exactly what each student knows, feels and does - their passions, their challenges.

“Once known, a teacher and the school can design opportunities that really do engage the young people socially, academically and intellectually.”

She said a recent Grattan Report also highlighted the importance of engagement in active learning.

He said while Pakenham commuters had accepted the line’s conditions “to a certain extent” it was no good expecting people to use trains that didn’t run to time.

“People rely on transport for employment. They need to know the 8.10am train arrives and leaves at 8.10am otherwise it forces them off public transport and onto our roads which are heavily congested,” Mr Paynter said. ”For others their only means of transport is public transport, and it’s extremely frustrating.

By Bonny Burrows

Pakenham trains are officially the worst for punctuality on the Metro train network, data from Public Transport Victoria reveals.

Performance results, released by the public transport statutory authority on Friday, show just over 86 per cent of Pakenham’s service ran on time during the last 12 months.

In comparison, more than 96 per cent of Glen Waverly and more than 95 per cent of Sandringham services operated to schedule.

Member for Bass Brian Paynter wasn’t surprised with the figures and said the problem of train punctuality was regularly raised with his

dren waiting at stations for late service, he said.

To combat the issue he would like to see a strict enforcement of train times on the network and a major investment in the crossings east of Dandenong including Main Street and McGregor Road, Pakenham, which hadn’t been upgraded for “many, many years”.

“Signals are down when they don’t need to be, causing traffic congestion,” he said.

“This is not just a problem for locals, but those in neighbouring areas such as Officer, or those travelling through from the country.”

Mr Paynter said the government wasn’t keeping up with the demand of growth corridors such as Pakenham well enough.

He acknowledged it was a massive task, “but it’s their responsibility”.

She said local commuters would also benefit from the $10.9 billion Metro Tunnel, and the resulting designated Pakenham line, “creating space for more frequent, reliable services”.

Public Transport Victoria acting executive director for network service delivery Dean Purkis said Metro had continued to provide punctual services despite significant improvement works and maintenance being carried across the network.

St Margaret's and Berwick Grammar School principal Annette Rome. 164381 “All teachers at St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School have regular opportunities to collaborate with their colleagues and to give and receive feedback on how to improve the classroom climate for learning, as well as access to learning about teaching practices that ensure active learning can be encouraged and monitored, ably managed through the school’s professional learning program,” Ms Rome said.

“The St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School curriculum also responds to the students’ passions.

“The IB PYP in the Junior School ensures that students play an active role in developing essential questions.”

She said a visit to the junior classrooms demonstrates young people actively engaged in enquiry, while regular morn-

“The Endeavour Program for year nine boys takes young people from the Alpine mountain tops to sailing boats on the reefs of Queensland.

“The year nine Journey Program for girls also enhances identity, relationships and community at this crucial time in a young person’s life.”

Redbacks need recruits

By David Nagel The opportunity to have a huge impact on the famous colours of the Hampton Park Football Club has arrived, with the club desperate to sign players ahead of the 2017 South East Football Netball League season.

The Redbacks have a new executive committee, they have money, and a new coaching panel ready to pass on a wealth of knowledge and experience to a hard-working list of players.

They have loyal sponsors and supporters, and an atmosphere set to be enhanced by past-player reunions to commemorate 20, 50 and 60-year premiership celebrations.

Now - to complete the picture - they just need bums on seats in the change rooms!

The Redbacks have a positive outlook for the future, with their governing body - AFL South East - set to deliver divisional football in 2018.

This implementation will allow clubs like Hampton Park to find its watermark, to be competitive for the first time since its last finals appearance in 2011 and bring some much-needed vibrancy back to Robert Booth Reserve.

But first, they need to get there.

Make no mistake - this is a pivotal moment in the history of this great club that has built rivalries with foes like Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne and Narre Warren since the mid 1950s.

Off-field, the club is well managed, but winning just four of 84 games since a mass exodus of players crippled the club at the end of that 2011 season well it’s finally taken its toll.

The club appeased its players in 2016 with a rumoured move to the divisional structure of the neighbouring Southern Football League.

It’s a move that never eventuated, with some club insiders and SEFNL keen to continue a long-lasting relationship.

Co-club president Mick O’Brien, a man who spilt blood, sweat and tears for the red and black, is one who is desperate to see it continue.

Club presidents, Mick O’Brien, second from left, and Tim Ziegler, right, with coaching staff from left, reserves coach Haydn Reynolds, senior coach Dean Warren, midfield coach Nick Johnstone, Under 19 coach Vincent Miceli and forward coach Chris Rodney and players from the Hampton Park Picture: DAVID NAGEL Football Club. 165150 “All the hard work that we’ve done off-field over the last few years has put us in a really financial position, left us with a war-chest, but attracting the right player to the club has always been the hardest part,” O’Brien explained at training on Monday night.

“What’s happening on-field is not a true reflection of what’s happening offfield right now. We thought if we put the club in a financial position things would build from there but we probably underestimated just how hard it is to attract players when you’re not winning games of footy.

“We just need to get one, then two,

three, four players, and start building a group that will fight through 2017 and then reap the benefits going forward.”

O’Brien and the club’s executive have changed their focus, looking to rebuild the club from the ground up, starting with its coaching department.

New head-coach Dean Warren is perfectly suited for the task, with a Level 3 coaching accreditation and previous success with VFL development squads.

O’Brien is confident that if the players commit, Warren and his staff can have a huge impact on their individual and team development.

“We just need players, guys who want to put their hearts on their sleeve and have a crack at senior football,” he said.

“We’re in a unique situation to provide that opportunity. We want to build with a group, put a younger side on the park and watch that group grow towards success. We want a nucleus that might go through some tough times now but will enjoy some success down the track.”

Co-president and football manager Tim Ziegler said the club was still waiting on a commitment from several of the 45 players that have hit the track

Stingrays are raring to go

By Nick Creely A revamped and rejuvenated Dandenong Stingrays group seems primed to bounce into the 2017 TAC Cup season with vigour after training the house down in their makeshift home at Frankston Park.

With Shepley Oval unavailable over the summer due to Victorian Premier Cricket commitments, the Stingrays made Frankston’s former VFL ground its training base due to the VFL club being booted out of the competition for at least the next two years.

And Stingrays coach Craig Black believes the use of the elite training facility is likely to see his young chargers rewarded from the experience.

“We’ve had a really good pre-season to date - it’s great to have an elite facility in Frankston where we have access to weights and a full-length footy ground - we hope we can see the re-

ward for being able to use it,” he said.

On Monday 20 February, the Stingrays reduced their list from roughly 90 youngsters to 59, a tough process not lost on the coach.

“We’ve played an intra-club, a game against Sandringham and we played Murray Bushrangers - we finalised our squad with cuts on Monday, which is exciting for some and disappointing for others - you never want to be the bearer of bad news but that’s how it is,” he said.

Some of the local lads to make the final squad include Cranbourne’s Ty Ellison, Berwick’s Oscar Clavarino and Reece Piper, and a raft of Beaconsfield youngsters such as Jamie Plumridge, Mitchell Smith, Bailey Morrish, Mitchell Riordan, Alex Young and Riley Boland. Doveton youngsters Jarrod Smith and Mitch Cotter have been included, while Narre

Warren’s Jesse Davis and Cora Lynn’s Heath Briggs are also in the squad.

There are five 19-year-old players returning to the squad, while there will be five AFL Academy players in Aaron Darling, Hunter Clark, Luke DaviesUniacke, Tom De Koning and Clavarino in the squad Black said that the Stingrays set the standards high and want to play finals, but conceded that due to a number of factors, it may influence how they confront the season, one of them being injuries to some of his talented youngsters.

“It’s a tough competition - we played 53 players last year, which is a lot,” he said.

Changes have been made to the coaching structure across the lines, but Black is looking forward to challenging his coaches.

“We lost Wayne Siekman, obvi-

in the pre-season.

“There are probably 10 to 12 that we are still in negotiations with, those that have been to training and are still deciding their futures,” Ziegler said.

“Obviously we’re trying to do everything we can to reassure the players, yes we know it will be tough, that this is the place to be going forward.

We’re having talks with a few new blokes as well.”

Players wishing to discuss a possible future with the club can call O’Brien on 0411 420 155, Ziegler on 0412 814 842 or Warren on 0415 378 211.

Stingrays coach Craig Black. 152161

ously, to Collingwood to coach their AFLW team - Josh Bourke who was coaching our Under 16s this year has stepped up which is great and will look after the forwards,” he said.

“Nathan Harris has gone from forwards to backs, Nick Cox will now go from backs to mids, but it’s exciting for all involved and a challenge.

The Stingrays will head over for a camp in Mt Eliza this weekend as part of their preparations for the start of the season.

The Dandenong Stingrays will kick off their TAC Cup season on 25 March against Gippsland Power, with the match to be played at Morwell Recreation Reserve.

Ruthless Swans bowl on

By Nick Creely VIC PREMIER REVIEW - ROUND 16 (DAY 2) A touch of sentiment shone over the Lindsay Hassett Pavilion on Saturday, as Casey-South Melbourne cemented its spot in the Victorian Premier Cricket finals on the same day the club celebrated their 10-year anniversary down at Casey Fields.

In what was always destined to be a special day for the rising club, the Swans annihilated Kingston Hawthorn with a ruthless edge to register their seventh victory in a row.

The Swans were sky-high on confidence after posting 7/356 last week, but knew the going would be tough against a solid batting opposition.

But Brendan Rose (5/37), the most in-form quick in the competition, took the first five wickets of the innings to shred the Hawks apart and kill any sort of life from the contest, and were eventually bowled out for 159.

Rose now has 35 wickets (second in the competition), in what has been an extraordinary last four matches for the quick - in a consecutive four-game sequence, Rose has snared figures of 4/42, 5/75, 5/40, 3/11 and 5/37.

And his other bowlers, Nathan Lambden (1/34), Leigh Diston (2/26), Lachlan Sperling (1/14) and Jackson Fry (1/26) all combined in a powerful warning to their rivals.

The Swans then went back into bat for a further 20 overs, with Devin Pollock (48) and Jordan Wyatt (38) finding some valuable time at the crease before stumps were called.

Casey skipper Lachlan Sperling was full of praise for his bowling

Skipper Lachlan Sperling will officially captain the Swans into finals. 164743 group, and said that in-form quick Brendan Rose bowled as good a spell as he’s seen.

“It was a really good day - the bowlers did really well,” he said.

“Brendan’s new ball spell was absolutely amazing, you can just throw him the ball, he always gives it his all - the technical work he has done with Prabath is really starting to pay off.”

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS With one game of the regular season to go against Prahran, Sperling said that the focus is on building their momentum into the finals and maintaining the belief that held them in

good stead during their form slump before Christmas.

“I haven’t thought about finals too much - we’re focused on Prahran this week, they’re a great side and have a lot to play for, that’s our main focus we will at some point sit down and see where we’re at,” he said.

“We just need to keep doing what we’re doing - we can’t flirt with form and we must stick to the same processes.

“Not much has changed from our point of view - we always had belief but it was a matter of performing - we have 11 blokes that all have the team’s best interest at heart, and that’s the biggest factor in us having a good run - if it’s someone’s turn to stand up they stand up, we’re in a really good mindset - it’s a great place to be.”

Casey now sits fourth with a round to go, after sitting in the bottom-four only three weeks before Christmas.

Sperling was also named in the Casey-South Melbourne Team of the Decade during the club’s celebrations that evening, an achievement he didn’t see coming.

“I was really shocked to be honest - to be named alongside so many outstanding cricketers was a little bit overwhelming, but I’m pretty proud and it was a great night of celebration hopefully there are many more years to come at this club,” he said.

Meanwhile, down at Shepley Oval, a stellar century to Dandenong champion Brett Forsyth (111) saw the Panthers easily chase down Frankston Heat’s 230.

Lincoln Edwards (85) was also amongst the runs for the Panthers.

By Nick Creely AFL WOMEN’S LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 3 Melbourne is finally starting to play their very best football, and after comfortably knocking off the Western Bulldogs by 14-points at Whitten Oval on Saturday night, climb inside the top-four for the first time.

As has been the case for the first three matches by the Demons, their rampant midfield was too much for the Dogs to handle, with skipper Daisy Pearce once again relishing the conditions.

Early on in the contest, the ball resembled a hot potato, with either side unable to use the ball cleanly.

After a fairly even first-term, the Demons sheer class got on top, kicking two unanswered goals to take a 14-point lead into the major break.

The Dogs then hit back hard, kicking two early goals in the third-term, courtesy of Jess Gardiner and Kirsten McLeod.

But the challenge brought out the best in the Demons, who then asserted their dominance with some fluent play and elite kicking - Daisy Pearce was phenomenal in this term, as the Demons gained a 15-point lead heading into the final-quarter And the Demons closed it out with class, shutting the game down, with their defence not allowing the Dogs many scoring opportunities.

Apart from Pearce, who had 26 disposals out of the midfield, Alyssa Mifsud was stellar with her creativity around

Daisy Pearce and her Demons were a class above the Dogs.

Picture: AFL MEDIA goal, while Karen Paxman was industrious.

Demons coach Mick Stinear said that the team is continuing to improve, and paid tribute to star captain Daisy Pearce.

“Daisy’s pressure and workrate is elite, and her leadership is outstanding on the field she is thriving on the challenge of having opposition pay her attention,” he said.

“The continual improvement is the most pleasing thing - we wanted four quarters of effort from all 22 - it was a pleasing day for us.

“I think the belief is now starting to come for us, the girls have trained really hard - I think the challenge is to improve and not be happy or content, and not let the rest of the competition streak ahead.

“We want to get better every week, and it was pleasing - you can see the look in their

eye, they want to get better and that’s exciting.

“Any team can win on their day if they bring superior pressure, we’re just pleased we have a couple of wins in a row, but we understand there’s plenty of work to be done."

The Demons will host Carlton on Saturday at Casey Fields, in what is going to be an exciting double-header with the JLT Community Series.

Dozen sixes in Mathers ton

By David Nagel Just two questions remain as the West Gippsland Cricket Association Premier Division begins its final round of the season this Saturday.

Will Pakenham or Tooradin join ladder-leader Kooweerup in hosting a home semi-final, and will Emerald or Pakenham Upper/Toomuc be relegated to District Division next year?

The first question answered on Saturday was that Kooweerup (9/197) will finish top of the ladder after a hard-hitting century from Jess Mathers (104) guided the Demons to victory over their semi-final opponent Cardinia (177).

Mathers smashed 12 sixes and two fours in a brutal display of power, launched particularly over mid-wicket and straight. He took great joy in despatching the best bowler in competition, Dwayne Doig (3/84 off 20), to 20 to 30 metres over the fence at Denhams Road at times.

“You can’t let him (Doig) dictate

because then he’ll be all over you,” Mathers told the News.

“You can make 30 off 30 overs against him, or you can have a crack.”

Mathers shared vital partnerships of 27 with skipper Mark Cooper (36) and 62 with Chris Bright (27) to steer his side to victory.

Cardinia won’t be too disappointed with its performance -it took the innings of a lifetime to deny them of victory. Kim Bentick took bowling honours for the Bulls.

Tooradin (4/180dec and 0/22) has jumped to second on the ladder after embarrassing Emerald (164 and 35) at Westernport Oval.

Declaring overnight with a 16-run lead, the Seagulls rolled through a fragile batting order with ease. Russ Lehman and Josh Lowndes claimed three wickets each with Kade Burns and Cal O’Hare also chiming in with two apiece for the Gulls.

The Seagulls will need to defeat Kooweerup in round 14 to retain their second ranking.

“To stay in the top two we have to beat them and you always enjoy coming up against a good team with something to play for,” Seagulls skipper Tom Hussey said.

The Bombers will likely hold on to a place in the top-flight next season, but will need to be careful against bottom-of-the-table Pakenham Upper/ Toomuc this weekend.

If the Bombers make 120 and the Yabbies answer with 350 ... the Bombers get relegated.

The Yabbies (116 and 8/71) were hardly impressive themselves losing 18 wickets for the day and narrowly avoiding outright defeat at the hands of Pakenham (5/394).

The Lions could rue batting on to a massive score on day one, far too many for the Yabbies to hunt down, losing the coveted second place as a consequence of not gaining maximum points. How does the old saying go? Never give a sucker an even break!

Tom Tyrrell (4/21) was the first-

Wins crucial to finalise ladder positions

By Nick Creely DDCA TURF 1 Review - Round 10 (Day 1) In the context of the season, there is no round more important than this as the DDCA contenders get separated from the pretenders.

With just four points separating second from seventh, wins are now crucial, and any slip-ups can potentially draw the curtain for any team.

But it’s not just at the top that is most intriguing - down the bottom end of the table, three teams are battling to avoid relegation.

Springvale South has posted a monster 7/331 in their season-defining clash with Cranbourne at Alex Nelson Reserve.

Needing a win to climb their way back into the four, Bloods skipper Craig Slocombe elected to bat.

And although no Bloods batsman made triple-figures, they completely dominated the Eagles, flaying them to all parts.

Michael Vandort (61) and Andrew Straude (71 not out) both made terrific, if not contrasting, halfcenturies, while five other batsman

Bath Perera (38) was the only batsman to fire as Danny Diwell (6/33 off 25) carved a path of destruction through the Maroons. The Cobras won’t play finals but can have a huge say in the make-up of the top four if they can defeat the Lions at Donnelly Reserve.

made between 20-35, as the Bloods showcased that their batting is a force to be reckoned with.

The Eagles are going to need their two key lynch-pins, Matt Chasemore and Steven Spoljaric to fire next week, or they will face the likelihood of being booted out of the four with a round to go.

Berwick’s fight to stay inside the top-four will hinge on their star-studded bowling line-up, after scratching its way to 192 at Reedy Reserve against Heinz-Southern Districts.

The Cobras elected to bowl at home, where Bears openers Josh Holden (11) and Darren de Souza (3) were suffocated early before both fell within 20 runs.

And despite little cameo’s from Nathan Pilon (25), Paul Evans (34), Adam Watson (41) and Corey Bevan (25 not out), the Bears couldn’t find their trademark momentum with the blade.

Cobras’ bowlers Michael Davies (2/15) and Kaushyla Weeraratne (2/53) were at their best early, however no bowler really stood out in an even bowling performance.

The Cobras are currently 0/7, and with one hand on the trigger that could spell disaster for the Bears’ finals hopes.

Narre Warren seems likely to avoid relegation, after a strong showing against Dandenong West.

Winning the toss and batting, Janaka Liyanabadalge (64) once again starred for the Magpies, before Craig Boswell (69) and Matin Sultani (58) lifted the visitors to 242 - Peter Atkinson was the pick of the bowlers for the Bulls with 3/52.

The Bulls are 3/15, and suddenly are the team most likely to drop down to Turf 2 next season.

Mordialloc are in prime position for a finals-finish, completely outclassing Parkfield at Ben Kavanagh Reserve.

The Bears stood no chance to Stuart Squires (4/32), who shredded a hapless batting line-up, before Manish Dabarera (43) provided some brave resistance with the bat.

The Bloodhounds skittled them for just 96 off 50 overs in a powerful warning to their rivals.

Currently, the Bloodhounds sit

comfortably at 3/59, and could potentially steal second-spot from the Eagles’ grasp next week, while the Bears are battling to stay off the bottom, and will need to provide some resistance to avoid an outright defeat.

Down at Hallam, the Hawks are locked in a close battle with Dingley on a flat batting-track, with the Dingoes needing to win to keep their finals dream alive.

Winning the toss and batting, the Hawks crafted their way to a strong total of 7/233, with Ryan Hillard (57), Ben Hillard (48) and skipper Steve Gilmour (41) all combining.

Calvin Barlow was excellent with the ball, taking two wickets, while Jasenthuliyana Chathuranga continued his strong latter part of the season with a couple of wickets.

Finally, down at Park Oval, Buckley Ridges are set to sneak their way into the top-four after setting themselves up for an outright victory over North Dandenong.

The Maroons batted first and were skittled for just 129, before the Bucks swiftly chased it down by stumps, finishing the day on 4/135.

WGCA - PREMIER ROUND 13 (DAY 2) Merinda Park 227 (D.Diwell 46, D.McCalman 39, D.Cuthbertson 26, G.Sharma 26, J.Caderamanpulle 6/65, W.Perera 2/19) def Upper Beaconsfield 112 (W.Perera 38, D.Diwell 6/33, G.Pearson 2/13); Tooradin 4/180 (C.O’Hare 82*, R.Lehman 36, A.Proctor 25) and 0/22 def Emerald 164 (A.Walker 45, N.Hill 31, M.Nell 31, C.O’Hare 3/41, M.Welsh 2/15, K.Burns 2/52) and 35; Kooweerup 9/197 (J.Mathers 104, M.Cooper 36, C.Bright 27, K.Bentick 3/19, D.Doig 3/84) def Cardinia 177 (R.Campbell 47, A.Nooy 28, L.Turner 26, J.Brown 25, M.Bright 4/40, P.Bright 3/19, M.Cooper 2/38); Pakenham 5/394 (Z.Chaplin 79, C.Smith 75, R.Elston 70, C.Savage 59, J.Williams 49*, D.Paynter 33, L.Plozza 2/97) def Pakenham Upper/Toomuc 116 (B.Senior 40, J.Noonan 27, T.Tyrrell 4/21, C.Smith 2/9) and 8/71 (D.Strahan 33, J.Williams 4/12, D.Paynter 3/14).

The 10-year anniversary

By Nick Creely

Ebony Hobson has scored a drive in this weekend's Australian Wingless Sprints titles in Tasmania.

Speed queen up for biggest test

By Russell Bennett Clyde speed queen Ebony Hobson is used to living life in the fast lane, but the events that have transpired since Australia Day must surely have even her head in a spin.

The 21-year-old motor racer is also a talented footballer and is set to represent Cranbourne in this year’s VWFL competition.

But she had a wrist reconstruction following a football injury at the end of 2015, which kept her from all but two races last season.

Still, that was enough to make sure she wasn’t completely out of sight, out of mind.

“It’s really reassuring to know that I haven’t been forgotten,” she said.

A string of positive results behind the wheel since December has led to Ebony securing a drive in this weekend’s Australian Wingless Sprints Title at Carrick Speedway near Launceston in Tasmania.

But the process for Ebony to secure

her drive really only gathered momentum since Australia Day. In fact, she got her race nomination in with just two days to spare.

Ebony’s will be one of the large contingent of interstate cars racing in this weekend’s two-day event.

“It’ll be the hardest event I’ve ever competed in,” she said bluntly.

“But I can’t wait.”

Ebony hasn’t really had time to dwell on the magnitude of the opportunity afforded to her this weekend by Larry and Gary Fitzpatrick from Fitzpatrick Autosports.

It’s all been a whirlwind.

She’s just after redemption after not getting the result she was after in a previous race for the team.

The start of the footy season this year will clash with the end of the racing season, but Ebony said her priority will be behind the wheel - repaying the faith to those who’ve supported her.

“You’ve got to give back to the peo-

ple who put time into you,” she said.

“That’s something my Dad has always told me.”

For her, it’s fitting she’s involved in both sports.

She said that with the rise of the AFL Women’s competition now is as good a time as any to show what women in sport can achieve.

Just as it was three years ago when Star News Group first spoke with her, Ebony’s dream is still to race sprint cars in the United States.

She knows the obstacles that stand between her and making that a reality, but she could jump the first hurdle with a strong result this weekend.

Ebony is forging ahead in her racing career with the support of her sponsors: Cooper Street Self Storage, T-Rex Excavations, Kool Freighters, RJ Racing, Tas Heavy Haulage, Lucas Oil Products Australia, CTR Truck Sales and Services, Hobson Designs and Maxim.

After 144 years, the South Melbourne Cricket Club made the bold move to relocate to the Casey area, making Casey Fields their home in 2005/06.

The club, which was founded in 1862, has produced more Australian Test captains than any other club in Australia, as well as 47 international players.

And on Saturday 18 February, on the night the present day Swans earnt their entry into the Victorian Premier Cricket finals, the club gathered to celebrate their 10-year existence at Casey Fields, as well as name a Team of the Decade to commemorate the outstanding players that have stepped out on the turf for the Swans in recent times.

The only current day Swan to make the prestigious team is current captain Lachlan Sperling, who is set to lead the team into finals.

Champions’ crowns to Cliff and Joan in a busy month BERWICK BOWLS January has been a busy month at Berwick with members participating in matches throughout the month to decide the Club Champion both male and female and also the minor Championship along with doubles and triples titles.

In the men’s section, Cliff Fothergill emerged the winner and Club Champion after a great final against Kerry Prescott while Joan Heggart was crowned Ladies Club Champion following her win against Christine Gage.

In the Minor Championship, Andrew Cook won a great battle against a future young star of the club in Lachlan Livingston.

Members witnessed some impressive and entertaining matches throughout the month and Berwick Bowling Club congratulates all bowlers on the outstanding success they have achieved.

Only two rounds left to play now that Round 16 has come and gone with some interesting results and some intrigue remaining for the last couple of rounds in season '16/'17.

Berwick 1 went a long way toward avoiding relegation yesterday with their win (82-14) over second placed

Vermont South 1 (72-4). The win puts the Ones into seventh place and moves them seven points clear of the relegation zone. The final two games are against Auburn 1 (away) and Heathmont 2 (home).

Berwick 2 (75-4) went down to Edithvale 1 (89-14). This was always going to be a tough match-up with Edithvale’s tricky conditions. The Twos hang on to eighth spot by 16 points and with the last two games of the season being played at home against Dandenong Club 1 (10th) and away at Ferntree Gully 2 (9th).

Berwick 3 (76-3) were defeated this week by Mulgrave CC 3 (82 -15). The Threes remain on top of the Section ladder by 18 points but a disappointing result this week will place even more significance on their next match against second-placed Glen Waverley 1.

Berwick 4 slipped to second spot last week and travelled to Malvern for a top of the table clash. The Fours needed to win to reclaim top spot and they did just that in a hard-fought match which saw Berwick 4 (83-14) defeat Malvern 1 (80-4). The win puts the Fours back on top of the ladder.

The race for finals contention is

Finalists in the Berwick Club Championships, from left: Minor Championship runner-up Lachlan Livingston with winner Andrew Cook, Ladies winner Joan Heggart with runner-up Christine Gage, and Men’s Champion Cliff Fothergill with runner-up Kerry Prescott. very tight in Division 4 Section 7.

Berwick 5 (72-2) were playing to consolidate their top spot this week, but were defeated by second-placed Mulgrave CC 6 (80-16). The loss sees them slip back to fourth spot.

Berwick 6 (117-18) defeated Mount Waverley 4 (43-0) this week. The em-

phatic win by the Super Sixes puts them 44 points clear of second-placed Ferntree Gully 4 on the Division 5 Section 6 ladder. Berwick 6 have enjoyed a stellar season this year and are to be congratulated on the commanding position that they have created for themselves.

Berwick 7 (76-16) defeated Hampton Park 3 (70-2) in another tight match this week. The Sevens have enjoyed quite a bit of success in the past few weeks and are now sitting in fifth position in their section just four points out of a finals' spot.

�� Reviews and news…

Revamped Audi is shaping up

By Ewan Kennedy Audi revamped its A3 range late in 2016 and we recently published a road test review on the Sportback version (Sportback being Audi speak for fivedoor hatch), now we’ve just been able to spend a pleasant week in an A3 cabriolet.

The good life was further improved by the S line sports package in our car.

At $4200 it adds Alcantara / leather trim, leather bound flat-bottomed steering wheel with shift paddles, and sports suspension with 18-inch alloy wheels, The single-frame radiator grille is even more sharply edged than ever before. We really like what Audi is doing in this area. The headlights are flatter with distinctive outside edges. The revamping of the rear shape plays on the width of the new A3 with a horizontal lighting set-up and an edge above the revise diffuser.

The heavily revised 2.0-litre TFSI engine has an innovative combustion method. It generates up to 140 kW of power, there’s 320 Nm between 1500 and 4200 rpm.

The A3 cabriolet, with the company’s latest seven-speed S tronic transmission gets from zero to 100 km/h in just 7.0 seconds.

It's not all that quick in this day and age but the cabriolet is heavier than the Sportback. In any case this is a cruiser, not a bruiser.

Infotainment and connectivity are excellent, with the Audi MMI Navigation now standard across the range.

The new Audi Connect will be in all models within a matter of months, it will be a good idea to check with your favourite Audi dealer before committing to purchase.

The new MMI system has been re-designed, based on contemporary smartphones, with menus and frequently used functions reached in just a few clicks.

The main control features a knob and touchpad for entering letters, numbers and, with single or multi-finger gestures, allowing the driver to zoom in on the map.

The innovative Audi virtual cockpit, standard on S3, is now offered on the A3, along with smartphone interface for Apple Carplay and Android Auto, both of which are standard on 2.0 TFSI and up.

You can switch between two views by pressing a button on the steering wheel. In Infotainment mode, a central window dominates the view with space for the navigation map or phone, radio and media lists.

The tacho and speedo are displayed as small-dials on the right and left. In sporty mode the dials are are as big as normal instruments and the centre display is smaller.

Matrix LED headlights make night driving almost as safe as daylight.

Autonomous emergency braking now

Styling of the updated Audi A3 cabriolet is excellent, particularly in the sharp front grille and flatter headlights.

Model range A3 1.4 TFSI 1.4-litre turbo-petrol two-door cabriolet: $49,000 (automatic) A3 Cabriolet 2.0-litre turbo-petrol two-door cabriolet: $55,000 (automatic) A3 Cabriolet 2.0-litre turbo-petrol quattro two-door cabriolet: $58,600 (automatic)

works at speeds up to 65 km/h and has pedestrian detection. Then there’s side assist, active lane assist and rear crosstraffic assist, in some models.

The Audi A3 range has a five-star rating from the ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program), it was achieved with ease.

Front seats are well designed and comfortable. The back seats can take adults but it does require fair bit of give and take between the four in the car. Not unusual in any convertible, but the little A3 is better than average for its class.

Audi A3 cabriolet, with its cloth

roof in place is almost as quiet inside as a car with a steel roof. The roof is power operated and folds neatly behind the rear seats.

With the roof open there’s surprisingly little wind entry. We do love running at what we call ‘full-convertible’ mode, that is with all the windows down. The open-top A3 does it better than most, much better than quite a few.

Engine response is pretty good, with not too much turbo lag. Once it’s up and running there’s plenty of verve in the way this turbo unit feels.

Fuel consumption on the open road was in the six to eight litres per 100 ki-

lometres range. Apparently not all that good, but don’t forget a car loses a lot of its aero effect with the roof down.

Around town it generally sat at about seven to nine litres.

The optional sport suspension lowers the body by 15 mm, the electromechanical power steering gains sensitivity and efficiency. It’s not a full on sports machine, nor was it ever intended to be, but there’s plenty of character in the way it feels and responds.

Audi’s drive select handling system integrates accelerator action, power steering effort and automatic transmission change points. Press button control gives you the choice of Auto, Dynamic, Individual or Efficiency modes.

Ride comfort is pretty good for a car with a sporty setup and only the biggest lumps and dips caused it to get a bit excited at times.

Road noise on some coarse-chip roads is certainly obvious so if you’re going to be doing a lot of driving on those surfaces make sure you incorporate them in your private pre-purchase road test.

Audi A3 is a gorgeous looking little cabriolet that provides plenty of pleasant cruising if the weather is right, as it was during most of our week’s road testing. It’s pretty well priced for its class and certainly deserves a spot on your short list.
