such as drug trafficking, extortion, arson and stand-over tactics. “We are not intimidated by OMCGs and we will not allow our communities to be,” Asst Comm Fontana said. “We know these groups have long histories of engaging in warfare amongst themselves, however the indiscriminate nature of their attacks including drive by shootings means there is immense potential to endanger innocent members of the public. “This is above and beyond the harm they already do our communities through manufacture and trafficking of drugs.”

Police, including the Echo Taskforce and the Australian Federal Police antigang unit, had investigated a Comancheros and Rebels bikie gang feud including the fire-bombing of a Kittens nightclub in July as well as 20 non-fatal drive-by shootings, Asst Comm Fontana said. Some of those arrested in the 14 March raids would be charged over a firebombing of a Rebels clubhouse in Dandenong in October.

Senior members of the Comancheros outlaw motorcycle gang - including a Lyndhurst man - have been arrested during a series of early-morning police raids mainly in Melbourne’s south-east on 14 March. Assistant Commissioner Stephen Fontana said a “very senior” Comancheros member was arrested at a house at Tobin Way, Lyndhurst where at least two vehicles were seized by police. Asst Comm Fontana said that the OMCGs “don’t stop” despite the arrest of “key players”. “They seem to be able to recruit and continue their activity, but we’ll continue to pursue them,” he said. Sixteen men and women had been charged as a result of the raids, including a 35-year-old Lyndhurst man facing 15 offences including trafficking a large commercial quantity of meth, inciting another to recklessly endanger life, conspiracy to commit criminal damage by fire and possessing an unregistered handgun. A 31-year-old Cranbourne North man was charged with offences including aggravated burglary, criminal damage by fire and kidnapping. The pair were remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 15 March. Three other arrested people were expected to be charged on summons. Twenty-five homes, a business and a factory were raided in suburbs across Melbourne, including Berwick, Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Cranbourne North, Cranbourne West, Dandenong South, Beaconsfield, Keysborough, Clyde North, Lysterfield South and Eumemmerring. Police say they seized several items including vehicles, a firearm, jewellery, cash as well as cocaine, methylamphet-

Council in crisis over row By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey councillor Steve Beardon has denied wrong-doing after sensationally resigning amid a council investigation into an argument with a female councillor at Casey Civic Centre on 7 March. He has called on Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins to step in while Mayor Sam Aziz said the council investigation would continue and also threatened legal action. “I did nothing wrong,” he said on Friday, “which has been confirmed by another councillor and I encourage others to come forward and speak up about it.” The complainant, Cr Milla Gilic, described herself as being left in shock and unable to stop crying after Cr Beardon allegedly unleashed “hateful”, “aggressive” and “threatening” abuse about her co-ward councillor Rosalie Crestani late after a dramatic council meeting. Cr Flannery, the only third party witness, said he did not hear a substantial part of the abuse alleged by Cr Gilic. He believed Cr Beardon would have been exonerated by the investigation. According to Cr Beardon, the complainant was “abusing” Cr Rex Flannery before he stepped in. Cr Beardon said he then “ques-
tioned” Cr Gilic about why he should apologise to Cr Crestani for taking issue with her Rise Up Australia membership during the council meeting. Cr Beardon resigned late the following day after the council launched Code of Conduct and workplace safety investigations into the incident. “I invite the Minister for Local government should come down an investigate if they want to take it further but I am happy to leave to them; I don’t need this.” His resignation comes just four months after he was elected for a fouryear term in October, and his second early resignation as a councillor. He quit just 37 days into his 2003 term after councillors passed resolutions over his “unacceptable conduct”. The resultant by-election more than a decade ago cost nearly $60,000. Cr Beardon told Star News that councillors had sought to stop him from speaking out on both occasions. “Why should I stay?” he said, adding that his version of events was verified by Cr Flannery. During the meeting there was a heated debate on Cr Crestani’s proposed sister-city relationship with an Israeli city. Cr Beardon’s attempts to link Cr Crestani’s Rise Up Australia membership were ruled out of order by Cr
Steve Beardon has resigned four months into his term as a Casey councillor. Aziz, and Cr Crestani demanded an apology from him. Mayor Sam Aziz also ejected Cr Beardon from the chamber for 15 minutes for failing to sit down while the mayor spoke, and led a reprimand motion against him for criticising the
mayor as well as a proposed chaplaincy program in the media. “I challenge anyone to put themselves in this situation and remain,” Cr Beardon later said. “It took every bit of strength. I had to put my ward first, but I can’t win. “Thank you to all the staff who have contacted me. Thank you to our friends and locals who support us.” Cr Beardon called for Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins to “step in” to the situation. Mayor Sam Aziz said the investigation into Cr Beardon would continue and raised the possibility of criminal charges. Cr Aziz said it was the second time Cr Beardon had resigned after being “brought to account”. The induction of a replacement would be “quite costly” even though they will be chosen by countback and not a by-election, he said. “It’s a pattern of behaviour. Every time he’s brought to account, he can’t take the heat. “If he really cares about his residents as he says he does, he should stay away from local government. “He’s absolutely not fit to serve in public office in any capacity.” Cr Aziz said complaints had been lodged by three female councillors against Cr Beardon.
Cr Beardon’s alleged abuse of Cr Crestani and her family on 7 March was “corroborated” and “verifiable”, he said. In the reprimand motion, Cr Beardon was condemned “in the strongest possible terms” for “ignorant, illinformed, biased, inappropriate and factually incorrect comments” made to the media. After the meeting, Cr Beardon said he’d continue to “speak out” on issues even if he risked being suspended from the council for two weeks. He said by speaking up, he’d made the community aware of issues like the council’s China trip and the cost of the chaplaincy program. “Yes I will speak up on behalf of my ward, and will canvass opinion and will raise issues on behalf of the community. “Why I am elected otherwise?” He didn’t deny a claim made in council that he’d told a female chaplain that he wouldn’t have boycotted a meeting with her if he’d known she was blonde and good looking. Cr Beardon later said it was in context of him being “condescending back” to the chaplain, who was trying to “educate” him on Christianity. A replacement councillor will be elected by a countback of the October 2016 election results. It will be conducted by the Victorian Electoral Commission.
Mayor suffers a serious knock
Beardon’s shock resignation

The family of Casey’s mayor Sam Aziz has narrowly avoided injury after an elderly neighbour crashed into the front of their home in Berwick. Police investigators have been told 2016 model Mercedes Benz was travelling along the road about 3.30pm Tuesday 14 March when the driver lost control and crashed into two properties. It is believed the driver, a female in her sixties, veered off the road and smashed through a sandstone pillar letterbox. The car then ploughed through a side fence between one house and Cr Aziz’s property before smashing headlong into the front of Cr Aziz’s house and coming to rest. The woman was taken to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition but police said the cause of her erratic driving remained unknown. The wooden double-garage door of Cr Aziz’s home was completely destroyed and a brick pillar at the front of the house was left with huge cracks and extensive damage. Cr Aziz’s wife and children
Casey Council will have a new face at the table in under a month, following the shock resignation of Councillor Steve Beardon on Wednesday 8 March. Cr Beardon tendered his resignation to Casey Council CEO Mike Tyler on Wednesday, following an alleged argument between Cr Beardon and a female member of council. The alleged argument took place on Tuesday 7 March, following a council meeting where Cr Beardon was officially reprimanded and two investigations were launched into his conduct over recent months. Casey Council announced a countback of votes from the October 2016 general election would be used instead of a byelection to determine who will replace Cr Beardon as one of two representatives of the Mayfield Ward. The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) has confirmed while no date has been set for countback, the law requires a replacement councillor to be selected within 28 days of a resignation.
A red Mercedes Benz caused extensive damage to Casey mayor Sam Aziz's house after it drove into the front of the Picture: Cam Lucadou-Wells building. 166083 were home at the time but were not injured. Cr Aziz said he had to force the front door open to get in and out of the house when he rushed home from the council. “I struggled to get the front door open because of the damage and my wife said ‘don’t come in’ because of the damage,” he said. “There is cracked plaster and extensive damage inside the house as well.”

“Usually the neighbour’s kids are out playing in the driveway next door so it’s very lucky they weren’t there at the time.” “I’m just glad everyone is OK and I hope the driver will be OK.” Building inspectors and police remain on site to see if the family can stay at their home after the damage it sustained and police are investigating the cause of the crash.
The VEC said a notice regarding Cr Beardon’s resignation would be published Thursday 16 March and the countback would be at least 14 days after this. The ballot papers from the October 2016 election that elected Cr Beardon to office will be included in the countback. The likely candidates to replace Cr Beardon that received the highest number of first preference votes are former councillor Gary Rowe and candidates Rob Ward, Suzanne Lokot, and Shabnam Safa. Gary Rowe was the last candidate to be ousted behind Cr Beardon in October 2016 when Cr Beardon achieved just 92 more votes than Mr Rowe on the 30th vote count. Mr Rowe launched legal proceedings against the VEC in December 2016 because he was denied a recount by the returning officer that was dismissed by a judge on the morning of Thursday 9 March. “I have been in discussions with a judge and the VEC and in the end the judge said that probably the margin was too great and he wasn’t going to

grant a recount anyway,” Mr Rowe said. When asked if he would return to Casey Council if elected following the upcoming countback, Mr Rowe was noncommittal. “I haven’t given it much thought,” he said. “I would have to look at what I’m doing professionally and if it’s going to suit what I need to do.” “I would always love to serve but I question the process of councils and the bureaucracy of councils.” Meanwhile, the resignation of Steve Beardon leaves Cr Amanda Stapledon as the sole representative of Mayfield ward. “I’m not daunted by that,” she said. “I am committed to representing my ward, to the best of my ability and am up to date with most things so I am happy to respond where I am needed.” Casey Council was contacted regarding the cost of inducting a new councillor and the impact on public perception of the council following Cr Beardon’s resignation, but declined to comment.

Map showing the difference in income between males and females in growth areas of Melbourne. Picture: SGS. Pike said. “While we are only looking at the broad overview of tertiary educated and full time employed people, it is a staggering difference.” “We were surprised by this and how it is particularly pronounced in the growth corridors and outer parts of Melbourne.” The gap between the genders in the South-East Region doesn’t only affect income with jobs requiring a university degree being disproportionately being held by men. Over 30 per cent of women who had a university degree in both Casey and Dandenong were working in jobs that did not require that level of education. “Women are able to work in jobs that require the education but are not being employed in those roles in
growth areas,” Ms Pike said. Ms Pike said the consequences affect the wider community and not just those with a university degree looking for work and can further entrench employment inequality for women. “One of the things we observe is when you have tertiary educated women and they are employed in a position that doesn’t need that education; there is a flow on effect,” she said. “It affects others that would be applying for those jobs, then they have to take a job that is less secure, with less pay.” There are many factors that contribute to the gap in job access and income for men and women in the Casey and surrounding regions, but Ms Pike said there were a few things
that made a big difference. “A big part of it is about knowledge intensive industries not being in those areas,” she said. “A more diverse array employment opportunity would definitely help.” “When we talk about this, we have to talk about having access to those jobs through public transport.” “If it only takes you half an hour to travel to the CBD when there are no jobs locally, there are no issues, but in these growth areas the travel time is really substantial trying to get to the knowledge clusters.” SGS will continue to analyse employment data to get a greater understanding of productivity in Melbourne growth areas in the coming months.

Women armed with a university degree in the South-East are at a severe disadvantage in finding fulltime employment compared to men in the region. The data used for the research focused on tertiary-educated people in full-time employment, and showed that women in Melbourne’s growth areas were both paid less and have less full-time employment than men. The preliminary research undertaken by planning and economics firm SGS Economics and Planning was released on International Women’s Day Wednesday 8 March. Senior Consultant for SGS Lucinda Pike said the research came about when the firm realised there was a gap to fill in productivity data. “We were discussing International Women’s Day in the office, and we do a lot of work on productivity, and we have found there is not much data looking at the gender gap and difference in productivity,” Ms Pike said. “We have this sense of how it works across the board, but there is very little that looks at the difference between genders.” What the researchers found was that women in growth areas are much more adversely affected by being further away from the knowledge centres of the city and inner suburbs. Only 55 - 65 per cent of tertiaryeducated women were working full time, earning over $1000 per week in Casey, compared to 78-85 per cent of their male counterparts. “This is a very significant difference between men and women earning a thousand dollars a week,” Ms

Foreign relations
Too big to develop
I welcome an investigation into the alleged abuse committed by Steve Beardon. If the allegations are true then may he receive the appropriate justice from the relevant authorities. If Mr Beardon did indeed do this then he deserves what’s coming regardless of the validity of his points. On one point I tend to agree with him. Cr Crestani is an active and senior member within the RUAP. The RUAP shares the same address as Catch the Fire ministries in Hallam and has the same leader, Danny Nalliah. Just recently (January 2017), Catch the Fire was stripped of its charitable status by the Australian Government after it was found to be raising funds for Rise Up Australia. Hence Cr Beardon’s statement that: “I can surmise it’s to do with religious tendencies after Casey councillor Rosalie Crestani raising an urgent motion for the council to hold discussions with the Israeli city Ofakim for a possible sister-city relationship” being ruled out of order on “relevance and fact” by Cr Aziz seems peculiar to me. RUAP policy towards Israel is being enacted by Cr Crestani under the guise of a sister city agreement. Why it is a matter of urgent business is beyond me. Nevertheless the argument to support such an arrangement is weak at best. Australia has globally recognised bodies and authorities in the field of agriculture and farming economics, eg ANU and AARES. “Australian farmers are among the most efficient and best practice operators on the planet,” DFAT and OECD reports claim. Surely Cr Crestani should be focusing her talents and resources to local community issues such as roads, rates, rubbish, respect and reserves before embarking on grandiose global arrangements that provide little benefit for those within our own local community. Leave these kinds of relationship arrangements to the Federal Government. And before I am accused of being an antisemite, let me add that as a Christian I am committed to supporting Israel and its people. This commitment is personal (like my faith). It does not mean that I will embrace the RUAP Israel policy and seek to have it introduced in my place of employ. Chris Sargeant, Endeavour Hills.
We write to you with regards to what we see is an over-sized development proposed by a developer trying to maximise a project with little or no consideration for the residents who currently live in this court. This seven-unit development provides for three of the units each having four bedrooms while the other four units each have three bedrooms with provision for two car parks only per unit. As you would know it is not unusual to have your siblings living with their parents until their late thirties nowadays and the fact that this development only provides for 14 car spaces, we think Casey planning should have a closer look at what they’re about to approve. While we understand the developer only needs to provide 14 spaces, we believe allowing a development of this size to proceed in the bottom of a court without sufficient future car parking spaces onsite is ridiculous. With only 14 car spaces available where do you think their siblings will park their cars when you consider there could be a need for an additional seven to 14 spaces in reality. This is where we as residents have grave concerns because we reside within the immediate area at the bottom of the court and see the problems that arise from time to time We have experienced times when too many cars have been parked within the bowl of the court with no thought, parking over driveways, parking all over the nature strips and blocking rubbish trucks and other service suppliers. The problem as we see it is simple. If the developer wants to maximise the site he should be instructed to provide the additional car park spaces on his site by either deleting some of the units he’s propos-
Reports are wrong The newspapers have reported an incident which occurred outside Casey council on Tuesday night. I can confirm I witnessed part of the incident, however the newspaper reports of what I saw have the story incorrect. It’s disappointing to see these comments.

If Casey planning don’t take a stance on over development we as residents will have to endure the arguments and angst going on for years to come. As a rate payer and a resident of Berwick I would like to think the resident would come before overzealous developers. Bruce Hamilton, Berwick.
Bad taste Please read the following research into MSG, a flavour enhancer, and its deleterious effects on the human body. I urge Casey Council to begin a programme of educating the rate payers of Casey on the deleterious effects of consuming MSG laced food and eventually ban the use of MSG in consumer food outlets within the boundary of the region of Casey Council. Let us be the first local council to ban the use of MSG as a flavour enhancer in foods. Penalties enforced on producers of foods who use MSG could be the next step in protecting the residents of Casey. I believe MSG is harmful. I don’t eat from restaurants if I know that the food is laced with MSG. I ask the restaurant owner in order to protect myself because I can taste when the flavour enhancer is used and I experience an abnormal reaction to MSG. I urge Casey Council to be the leader in eradicating MSG from food sold in the region of Casey Council. Milroy Martyn, Endeavour Hills.

Four years in jail for shooting By Cam Lucadou-Wells

A Narre Warren man has been jailed for at least four years for firing eight bullets into an inhabited brothel during a driveby shooting in Caulfield South last year. Patrick O’Kelly, 27, had pleaded guilty at the Victorian County Court to 15 charges including trafficking ice, car theft, recklessly endangering people and being a prohibited person using a firearm. About 2.55am on 30 March, O’Kelly sat in the back seat of a stolen Porsche, wound down the window and fired eight shots from a 0.223-calibre rifle. Seven of the rounds struck the front of the Club 859 brothel, with one shattering a shower screen inside and narrowly missing a female worker. Another ricocheted from the building into a nearby tram shelter. At the time, there were six people inside the premises. Inside the Porsche that afternoon, police seized ammunition, a hand-written note with the brothel’s address, a key to a stolen Navara ute, an imitation firearm as well as more than 65 grams of meth. They also seized cannabis, GHB and cocaine from the car. In a search on O’Kelly’s home, police discovered a stolen double-barrel shotgun and cartridges, a samurai sword and numchucks, and stolen number-plates.
At the time, O’Kelly was a disqualified driver with prior driving-while-suspended, drug and firearm convictions. He had been “off my head” on an ice habit of up to two grams a day, blaming it for his “stupidity” and anti-social impulses. During his 335 days in pre-sentence custody, O’Kelly had become free of his addiction and depressive mood disorder, his lawyer had argued. In sentencing on 10 March, Judge Susan Pullen said O’Kelly showed some remorse for his “extreme act of violence”. Judge Pullen was however troubled by his lack of clear explanations for his offending or the pre-planning, other than intending to give the brothel occupants and owners a “message”. The judge also noted O’Kelly relapsed into drug use and breached a community corrections order within a month of being released from jail in 2015. She was therefore “guarded” when assessing the accused’s prospects for rehabilitation and commitment to drug treatment. She jailed O’Kelly for five years, 10 months and 14 days with a four-year non-parole period. His driving licence was disqualified for five years.

A Berwick family are working hard together to realise the dream of 15-yearold Nathan Forsyth who has been battling osteosarcoma for three years. Nathan’s family have rallied around him, and will be holding a community trivia and games night to raise funds for Nathan and his mother Eli Collcutt. Nathan was first diagnosed with bone cancer in his femur and underwent surgery to have 20cm of his growth plate removed. He has since undergone more surgeries to correct the length of his leg before it was discovered the cancer had metastasized in his lungs, and he had half of one of his lungs removed. His mother Eli Collcutt said there had been countless times her son has amazed her with his resilience, but it was the time he had a section of bone removed from his leg that stands out for her. “I remember standing beside him outside theatre as the anaesthetist was about to put Nathan to sleep before his surgery to remove the cancer from his femur,” she said. “After his 13-hour marathon surgery, he woke and asked the nurse if he had plan A or plan B, and she had no idea what he was asking, so she came looking for me.” “He was coming in and out of consciousness as I walked over, I said you had plan A, you have your leg and I watched as the tears rolled down the side of his face.” Even before his surgery, Nathan was composed and calm in a way many 13-year-old boys are not, and Ms Collcutt said she couldn’t have been more proud of her son. “As I held back tears, I wanted to say to Nathan ‘scream, shout, do whatever you want. You have every right to be angry, fearful, nervous, upset and ask why
Ms Wright said Nathan’s resilience in the face of this terrible disease had seen his family, friends and even local businesses come together to help out in any way they could. “He’s a hero in all of our eyes,” she said. “He is so positive, so inspirational; he never lets the cancer get him down and he keeps toughing through it.” If you would like to help Nathan’s dream come true, you can book your table or tickets to the trivia and games night fund-raiser being held in Berwick on Saturday 25 March. Every person that buys a ticket and attends the fund-raiser will go into a draw to win the door prize on the night of a luxury accommodation package at Crown Promenade Melbourne.

Firms told to ditch dust By Cam Lucadou-Wells Two industrial businesses on O’Grady Road, Hallam, which have been found to be responsible for releasing high levels of dust and grit, are set to be issued with pollution abatement notices by the state’s environmental watchdog. Environment Protection Authority southern metro manager Marleen Mathias said dust had been observed leaving the two premises during a 10 March inspection, despite the sites “actively using dust suppression vehicles”. The pollution abatement notices will require further dust controls to ensure no impact on the “local environment” or the businesses face potential fines up to $777,300, Ms Mathias said. A third business in the area with “dust-generating” activity passed inspection. Several neighbouring Hallam businesses and Hampton Park residents had pointed the finger at the road’s soil and mulch yards, blaming the businesses for health afflictions and thick coatings of silt on their decks, paths, windowsills and vehicles. Ms Mathias said recent EPA monitoring detected elevated dust levels in the surrounding industrial area but not at neighbouring residences. “Dust levels at the residential properties would likely fluctuate at times of differing weather conditions,” she said. Testing showed the council-maintained gravel road was “not likely to be a significant contributor” to the sampled sites’ dust impacts, Ms Mathias said. A long-suffering Hampton Park resident said the results confirmed the “grit” was coming from the compost, mulch and soil works businesses and not the gravel road. He and his family are among sev-
Dust swirls around the O'Grady Road soilworks on 21 November 2016. eral complainants about 400 metres south who had blamed asthma, wheezing, severe skin hives, and eye irritations on the dust swirling from the soil yards. He is planning to build a $30,000 enclosed pergola to block out the dust that is blown onto his property with hot northerlies. “They confirmed it’s grit and not just ordinary dust, which is what we all argued several years ago.
“I really hope there’s a solution.” Meanwhile, dust-plagued businessowner Paul McBeth said in “the most incredible co-incidence” the council gave the road “the most intensive conditioning I’ve known” on 10 March just days ahead of an anticipated EPA site visit. He had told Star News recently that staff at his business, Marvel Packers, had been choking on dust clouds kicked up by a heavy stream of trucks on O’Grady Road.
“The road was teeming with graders, tip trucks and specialised dustsuppressant trucks all morning which has completely transformed the road - for now. “By carrying out these works directly before the EPAs assessment the council is making a mockery of the whole matter. “I might be completely wrong and perhaps council are taking the issue of safety seriously at last, but the timing is one hell of a coincidence.”
Casey city presentation manager David Richardson said the council was unaware of the timing of the EPA planning further tests at the road. He said the treatment was part of routine maintenance that included a second application of dust suppressant on the road. The council’s maintenance regime included at least one dust suppressant treatment annually, he said.

Government’s homework fail By Cam Lucadou-Wells and Kath Gannaway Home educated children and parents have condemned the State Government for “failing to do its homework” on proposed changes to home-schooling rules in Victoria. At a meeting of more than 200 in Berwick in February, speakers underlined the value of home education as an option for students who have not flourished in a classroom setting. Under the changes, each home educator had to submit individualised learning plans for a full year and were reviewed on a rolling basis by the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority. Alicia Hoppit, a home-educating
mother of five, said there was no evidence there was anything wrong with home education. “There is no evidence that there is any need to change the regulations.” Ms Hoppit said there was no criteria or guidelines for the plans, and a lack of consultation on the draft changes. “They failed to do their homework. “The result is regulations that are based on bias, fear and speculation.” She criticised the State Government’s proposed requirement of a 28day waiting period for permission to home educate as a “clear violation of parental rights and free choice”. Home educator Litsa Grace said home education shouldn’t be regulated by a classroom-learning model.
“It is a widespread belief that children need to be in a classroom, in a school to learn. This just is not true.” Oriyla, a 15-year-old student, said home education had given her a “remarkable opportunity”. “In or out of home education, I am not alone with dyslexia,” Oriyla said. “But home education has certainly allowed me an amazing amount of flexibility to adapt my learning environment to my individual special needs.” Home Education Network coordinator Susan Wight said 60 per cent of home-education families chose to do so due to issues such as special needs, anxiety and bullying. “Home education offers an important and valuable education alterna-
tive, often when the school system has already failed. “Unless plans meet (bureaucrats’) narrow view of education, permission will be denied, trapping these students in school where their needs are not being met.” At the forum were opposition education spokesman Nick Wakeling, Gembrook MP Brad Battin and DLP upper-house member Rachel CarlingJenkins. Education Minister James Merlino and Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley were invited but didn’t attend. A Department of Education spokesman recently told Star News most home school families did a good job, and the regulations had been working well, but the aim should always be for
improvement. “Requiring a learning plan from home schooling families and giving the VRQA powers to review a family’s arrangements for home schooling are sensible steps forward,“ he said. “It ensures young education they deserve while still leaving home schooling families with considerable freedom.” The spokesman said there was no requirement to stick to a specified curriculum, no mandatory home visits and registration was ongoing rather than regularly reviewed like in other states. “Assessment will be done by education experts who have experience in different learning styles, including home schooling.“

Estate plan is close By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council and a developer are close to agreeing on a proposed housing estate on the ex-Doveton Secondary College site that was marred by illegal tree-felling two years ago. The council had largely agreed to a draft development plan that retains most of the 5.82-hectare site’s remaining stands of significant and high-value vegetation, including river red gums. Casey strategic planning and environment manager Nicola Ward said the council took a strong position to ensure “negligible benefit” to the developer for the illegal tree removal. “The requirements embedded in the draft development plan will make sure there are lots of new trees along the streets to return this leafy character to the site. “This was always likely to be a higher density development - the only thing which is has changed is the configuration of housing on the site. “Council has advocated strongly and worked closely with the developer to make sure the remaining trees are well protected as much as possible, and have required changes to the draft Development Plan to ensure as many new trees as possible will be planted in the development.” Ms Ward said the developer was also required to pay a 10 per cent open-space contribution towards upgrading local parks and playgrounds. The site at the corner of Box Street, Claret Street and Ficifolia Drive, Doveton, was bought for $10.6 million in 2014 and illegally
cleared of 53 native trees the following year. A tree lopper pleaded guilty and was fined $5000 without conviction for the breach, but the developer was not linked to the offence. Neighbours were outraged at the time. One told Star News: “How do you put a price on it? You can’t just instantly grow another mature tree.” The council report stated the high-quality housing - ranging one to three storeys - with links to surrounding public open space was set to act as a catalyst for further redevelopment in Doveton. “The design guidelines contained within the plan indicate that the site will result in a high level of amenity and urban design.” It stated Casey was still negotiating with the developer on the cross-section widths of roads. The parties had been forced into a compulsory conference at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in October to resolve the issue. Councillor Wayne Smith said after lengthy negotiations, it was a “good example of collaboration” with the developer. “We’re now satisfied with the trees retained and the landscaping, and the standard and number of houses on the site. “We’ve come to a good compromise.” Cr Smith said Casey had once lobbied for a social housing project on the site, but that opportunity was lost when it was sold by the State Government to a private developer. The plan will open for public comment when it goes to exhibition.
Home intruders terrorise couple By Victoria Stone-Meadows A Narre Warren North couple has endured a terrifying night by having to chase intruders out of their home and had their car stolen in the early hours of Saturday 11 March. The couple were asleep in bed when two people wearing gloves and balaclavas entered the house on Rose Garden Court via an unlocked back door and made their way into the main bedroom. The two thieves took a set of car keys from the bedroom which woke the couple and a male chased the two unknown men out of the house. The crooks ran up the street at first but them came back a short time later and threatened the occupants of the house. The thieves then made off with a new model silver Holden Commodore club sport with black and white number plates reading RTC01. The Casey Crime Investigation Unit is asking anyone who may have seen suspicious people in the area overnight or the stolen vehicle to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Cranbourne MP Jude Perera and Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews visit Narre Warren SES members Sam Baranage and Clinton Brown. 166109 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS in the first week of May, and hopefully we will be able to deliver some positive news.” Star News reported in February this year that Casey Council had decided on a site in Cyril Beechey Lane as a possible location for a Cranbourne SES unit. Unit controller for Narre Warren SES Clinton Brown said another unit in the Casey area would greatly improve their capacity to serve and help the growing population of the region. “It’s really about trying to
service the ever growing southern corridor, specifically the Warneet, Clyde, Pearcedale, and surrounding areas,” he said. “In our current capacity, it takes us about 30 or 40 minutes even with red and blue flashing lights on the main roads to get to a job in the southern parts of Casey.” Mr Perera is currently running an online petition for those in the Casey Community to show their support for a SES unit in Cranbourne that can be found at www.thismatters.org. au/sesforcranbourne.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews took some time out of his busy schedule to visit the Narre Warren SES on Wednesday 15 March and hear their stories about volunteering in their community. Mr Andrews was invited to the Narre Warren SES by Cranbourne MP Jude Perera as part of Mr Perera’s efforts in pushing for a SES unit to be established in Cranbourne. Mr Andrews and Mr Perera were given a tour of the Narre Warren facilities and heard from members about the difficulties in covering the entire Casey area from a single unit. While neither Mr Andrews nor Mr Perera made any funding commitment in regards to a Cranbourne SES unit, Mr Andrews was optimistic about finding the money for one. “We often don’t say thank you enough to our SES volunteers, and it’s important to acknowledge the great work they do in protecting the community.” Mr Andrews said. “It’s (an SES unit in Cranbourne) something we are looking very closely at, and Jude has made sure I am aware of what is going on down here.” “I am confident it has been a very well argued position, and while I can’t give a timeline, the State Budget will be delivered

Just cool your jets, people By Bonny Burrows The State Government will not purchase land in Kooweerup for a third Melbourne airport, contrary to media reports. It was reported across several metropolitan news publications on Tuesday that the government had pledged to buy land for a new airport, likely to cost $5 billion, in the next five years. It was also speculated air services in the South East would begin by 2030, with the airport cited as “a key feature” of the government’s Plan Melbourne 2017-’50. However, the State Government said it had made no such commitment. A spokesperson for Planning Minister Richard Wynne said Plan Melbourne was a blueprint
for population growth, and included “early planning works” for a third airport in the event one was needed in the future. Star News understands a South-East airport has been on the state’s radar since 2002, but development would only occur if warranted by demand. It is also understood any land for a potential airport would not be purchased by the government or through state funding, but rather through the private sector. However, Plan Melbourne does recommend the government preserves the future option of another airport through “incorporating planning protection for flight paths and noise contours, and the alignment for a connection to the rail line at Clyde”.
The government spokesperson said the project was not yet needed, but signalled planning was on the cards. “Melbourne Airport and Avalon Airport still have capacity to take more flights, but nevertheless we won’t make the same mistakes Sydney has made,” the spokesperson said. “We need to plan ahead for aviation to avoid being blind-sided as Victoria grows.” Cardinia Shire Mayor Brett Owen said council welcomed a State Government commitment to identify and select a suitable south east region location for an airport. “Our region will continue to experience significant growth over the coming years, and SEM (South East Melbourne Group of Councils) believes the development and operation of
an airport would be a major economic and employment driver for our communities,” councillor Owen said. City of Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said there had been discussion about a possible airport in the Casey-Cardinia region for more than 40 years. “There would clearly be economic benefits to the Casey-Cardinia region by the establishment of the proposed airport,” councillor Aziz said. “Not only would it be convenient for residents, but it will also generate local jobs and investment in the region.” Cr Aziz said the City of Casey looked forwarded to more information about the proposal from the State Government in the future.
Violence and threats by man against his mother By Cam Lucadou-Wells
“We looked everywhere for the best place for Nan. Only one ticked all the boxes.” Clarice’s granddaughter, Rebecca. Freedom family

In her search for a place that provided 24 hour care plus the independence, companionship and lifestyle her Nan so richly deserved, her granddaughter Rebecca visited every nursing home in her region.

A “severely intoxicated” 22-year-old has thrown his mother against a cupboard, threatened to have his “boys” bash her and to burn down her Doveton home with her inside it, a court has heard. About 11am on 5 March, the man had returned from shops and started drinking in the kitchen. He asked his mother in the lounge room for cigarettes, and didn’t like her answer, police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Andrew Osmond said. The man told his mum: “F*** you, you slut. Go and kill yourself.” As she attempted to call police, he threw her against the cupboard. He allegedly said: “If I go to jail, you just wait, mate. “I’ll get my boys to bash you. “If I go to jail, I’ll burn this place down with you in it.” The man was soon arrested for breaching a full family violence intervention order and released on bail for what was his third charged assault on his mother. The same day at 10pm, he returned to the house in breach of the order to “check my belongings” and was arrested. Defence lawyer Adrian Dessi said the man’s decision making and memory of the incidents were affected by being “severely intoxicated” but conceded he shouldn’t have been even at the house due to the intervention order. Mr Dessi said up to last July, the man had never offended. That was until his drinking “escalated” and since then he’d been charged with cannabis possession, being drunk in a public place, failing to appear at court and assaulting his mother and father. Both parents had since been protected by intervention orders. “The drink is controlling him,” Mr Dessi said of his client. A Corrections report assessed the man as a medium risk of re-offending, with the man under the influence during the assaults and later blaming provocation by his family. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said the man had little insight into his “appalling” and “frightening” behaviour, and didn’t accept the man’s claims that his family made him do it. “No mother would expect her son to talk to her like that. “You’re obviously drinking way too much ... and your family members are greatest at risk.” Mr Vandersteen said parents in a family-violence situation would go to police for help as a last resort. “They do that when they feel they can’t protect themselves.” The man was convicted and sentenced to a 12-month supervised corrections order with alcohol-abuse and mental health treatment.

Flying foxes in ‘free-fall’ By Cam Lucadou-Wells Don’t be deceived by the near-record numbers of grey-headed flying fox bats roosting upside down beside Dandenong Creek, Doveton. This is a species in population “free-fall”, according to its devout advocates. The colony’s large numbers - hitting an estimated 35,000 in February - are a result of being driven south by climate change, lack of habitat and dwindling food supply, says Victorian Advocates for Animals spokesman Lawrence Pope. The national population is about 300,000 - just one per cent of the estimated numbers a century ago. During summer, whole camps of bats in New South Wales died due to heat stress, Mr Pope said. At the same time, gumtrees have been failing to flower - depriving the bats of their desired nectar. Mr Pope is campaigning for regulation of netting on backyard fruit-trees, which kill more than 500 flying foxes a year in Melbourne. Wildlife-friendly nets or fruit bags were safe alternatives that guaranteed a fruit yield as well as preserving bats’ safety, Mr Pope said. “It’s unsafe netting if you can poke your fingers through the gaps,” is Mr Pope’s rule of thumb. “What would be even better would be to take the nets off the trees and give the animals something to eat.” The bats rest during the day after covering up to 80 kilometres during the night. On their travels, they fossick on native flowering gumtrees and other fruits across greater Melbourne, the Dandenong Ranges and Mornington Peninsula.
A curious fruit bat peers down from its perch. 166087 Through the year, they deliver vital long-distance cross-pollination between diverse interstate tree species, Mr Pope says. The genetic inter-mixing increases the health of native forests and speeds the regeneration of logged coupes. “Hundreds of native trees depend on it, some species solely depend on the pollination activities of the flying fox.” Each month, a group of committed volunteers, each with clicker counters, count the chattering thousands of Doveton bats as they soar out to their
night-time feeding missions. The data is fed through to government departments to monitor the colony’s size and health. Organiser Dr Rodney van der Ree, who had helped recolonise fruit bats from Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne in the early 2000s, said the flying foxes had moved in to Doveton about six years ago. Their numbers have ranged from up to 40,000 in summer to 5000 in winter - when many migrate to warmer, northern climes. “They’re some of the smartest ani-
Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS mals for their size,” he says. Their communication skills and innate sense for finding flowering trees was proof of their intelligence. “How else could up to 100,000 bats descend on a location within a week or two of a flowering event, without being able to talk to each other?” The densely-treed banks need to be gradually re-vegetated due to the bats stripping bark and leaves from their perches, Dr van der Ree said. “They will kill these trees eventually if we don’t manage the vegetation and re-planting.”
The volunteers station themselves in different points around the colony. Each click of their counters denotes a cluster of 10 bats taking off beyond the trees. They come out just before dusk each month, even in the depths of winter, meeting on the Tuesday closest to the risen full moon. As the site awakens with flapping, squawking bats circling and spreading towards the outskirts of Melbourne, even the most experienced of their helpers can’t help but admire the spectacle. 12342382-LB11-17

Smith’s arts plan By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey Councillor Wayne Smith has put forward a bold new strategy to bring more performing arts to the City of Casey. At a council meeting on Tuesday 7 March, Cr Smith raised two notices regarding The Factory performing arts centre in Cranbourne and the Windmill Theatre Company. The two motions were carried at the council meeting and will have council investigating expanding the size of The Factory and meeting with Windmill Theatre Company to explore establishing their base of operations in the City of Casey. Cr Smith said he was very proud of his involvement in having The Factory established but said due to the growing size of the region it was desperate need of expanding. “I was a driving force behind it originally but over the last few years it has become obvious we need more space,” he said. “There is just not enough time and space for everyone who wants to use it.” Cr Smith has asked Casey Council to receive a report by the first meeting in May that outlines the opportunities to include a new workshop space, extra garage space and rehearsal space to the existing structure. The second motion raised by Cr Smith asks for a meeting to be arranged between council and representatives of the Windmill Theatre Company to discuss the group storing sets and having a permanent rehearsal space in the City of Casey. Windmill Theatre Company currently have their set production based in Cardinia Shire, some rehearsal spaces in Casey and their

Casey Council will consider extending 'The Factory' in Cranbourne to accommodate the growing Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS performing arts scene in Casey. 165910 main performance space at The Drum theatre in Dandenong. Cr Smith hopes that through discussion with Casey Council, The Windmill Theatre Company will be able to find a stable and consolidated home in Casey. “I think that’s a great idea and I am looking forward to find them a suitable space,” he said. Windmill Theatre Company president Sean Van Geyzel said that he and his group were looking forward to exploring their options for basing the company in City of Casey. “We are looking at where are we are going in the future and Casey is definitely one of the areas we are looking at,” he said. “One of the things we need to do
to determine what is in the best interest of us and our supporter base and how we can most reach the biggest section of the communities in Greater Dandenong and Casey.” “Casey is a strong growth area and with big new state of the art facilities at Bunjil Place.” Mr Van Geyzel said while ‘The Factory’ in Cranbourne would be one option, they would also like to explore the possibility of building their own dedicated space. “We would like to find out if there is an opportunity for us to establish our own base of operation like a football club does and perhaps even have access to land where we could build our own facility,” he said. “We have some ideas of what we
would like to achieve and we want to link that in with the community.” “We have a whole bunch of ideas and while they are just ideas at this stage, we are keen to meet with council, explore those opportunities and hopefully have relationships with Casey going forward.” While these discussions are underway, Cr Smith said he will continue to bring more and more performing arts to the Casey region. “The arts have the problem that there is a perception that sports get everything, which is partially true,” he said. “Arts have done better since I’ve been around and Casey arts groups have got much better but I want to see more performing arts in Casey.”
A driver landed in a tight spot at the pub after trying to flee from police in Hallam. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said officers tried to intercept a Ford Festiva sedan on Hallam Road about 1.20pm on Friday 10 March. The driver allegedly took off and tried to squeeze the car between the bar entrance and a brick pillar at the Hallam Hotel and became wedged. Police apprehended the driver, who assisted them with their inquiries. The Hallam Hotel declined to comment.
The Festiva became wedged between the pillar and wall.

BUSINESS IN FOCUS
Pharmacy has script for success Having recently celebrated its 40th birthday, Richard Edwards Chemmart Pharmacy in Narre Warren appears slightly different today to what it did in March 1977. However the family operated business continues to uphold the same old school community pharmacy ideals that have kept generations of customers coming back. “You could open a pharmacy anywhere those days,” pharmacy partowner Richard Edwards said. “I had no money so I had to open it from scratch. I did most of (the work) for the first 20 years.” As he had hoped when he first arrived, Richard has seen Narre Warren’s growth explode over the past four decades. “I grew up in the city, but I heard that (Narre Warren) was going to be a growth area 40 years ago - and it was,” Richard said. “It was all farm land around here.” Richard has recently handed the business over to his capable pharmacist daughter Rebecca Edwards and a third partner, Peter Johnson, an longtime family friend. “I actually started working here when I was 14,” Rebecca said. “I worked all through high school and then I got into pharmacy in Wagga. I went away for a few years (and when I came back home) that’s when dad said he wouldn’t mind slowing down a little bit, so I came back and went into partnership,” the 36-year-old said.
Rebecca Edwards, Richard Edwards, Britt Robinson, Lina Imbrogno, Olympia Blanco, Taylah Graham and Emily Hammond at Richard Edwards Chemmart Pharmacy, Narre Warren. Rebecca continues to work to maintain the same values and principles her father started with. “We really try and focus on the old school community pharmacy,” she said. “We want to treat people the way I’d want my grandma or my mum to
be treated, so we try and be really customer focused and try do everything we can to help people out.” Richard Edwards Pharmacy prides itself on treating a patient’s condition as a whole. “We do a lot of specialized services,” Rebecca said.
“For example, we have a sleep apnoea program so we can do testing for sleep apnoea and also trialling of the treatment, which is quite specialized a lot of pharmacies don’t do that. “We try and make our services really health condition focused so we treat patients’ condition as a whole.
“That’s very rewarding because you change people’s lives with the treatment.” It’s those rewarding moments that has kept Rebecca in the family business for 22 years. “We’ve got a very diverse group of customers. But you get to know them and their families, and a lot of them I remember from when I started,” Rebecca said. “I like that people come back and they tell you how you’ve helped them and you’ve made a difference to their lives.” And many other members of the Edwards family have helped out at the pharmacy. “I’ve got two older sisters and a younger brother and my sisters both worked here. “My mum used to work here as well, she was actually working here the day I was born. She was serving the shop until she had me later that day.” And even the customers feel like family. “We are (like a family),” Richard said. “There are about 20 (clients) that tell me they were my first customers.” And the secret to Richard’s 40 years serving those customers? “Be nice to people and they’re usually nice back to you.” Richard Edwards Pharmacy is at 36 Webb Street, Narre Warren, and is open 8.30am to 9pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 9pm Saturday and Sunday. Call 9704 7563.

Top melodies Singing and laughter spill from Lexington Gardens Retirement Village on the first Tuesday of each month. The Springvale centre welcomed performer Frank Powell to its morning melodies on Tuesday 7 March. They sang and danced as he presented classic tunes with plenty of humour and cheek. Social committee convenor Val Price has been running the event since 2009. “We have dinner dances once a month. I used to see people getting up and going home early,” she said. “I suggested to the committee that we try morning melodies. “We get anything from 60 to 95 people. “We have a two-course lunch and we’ve got good singers, entertainers and it gives people something to do here rather than go out. “I just love to make people happy. “I love to see the older ones singing the old songs and enjoying it. “One table of elderly ladies bring a bottle of champagne!” About 300 people call Lexington Gardens home - some who’ve lived there for 17 years - and that number is set to grow next year. Community engagement manager Claire Emmanuel said work on 40 new units would start in May. “We’re starting to take expressions of interest,” she said.
Big food trucks are back
Frank Powell performs at morning melodies. 165747 “People will step into their apartments next year. “We’ve got excellent amenities within this village that really provide a brilliant lifestyle and promote health and wellbeing for the residents. “The things that we pride ourselves on is that there’s an activity that suits everybody. “We are looking at expanding our activities to suit a younger cohort of people. “These days people are retiring at a younger age, or working part-time.” Ms Emmanuel said facilities included a gym, 25-metre swimming pool, a men’s shed, tennis court, croquet and bowls greens, snooker tables, an art and craft space, and a barbecue area. “We have a bar for people who like to enjoy happy hour and a large auditorium where we have movie viewing and DVDs and presentations,” she said.
“The bar is a highly social place. “It’s all run by the residents. “People are never lonely here.” She said families were welcome to make use of the facilities. “Grandchildren come to visit their grandparents to go for a swim or play some tennis,” she said. There’s a library, computer centre, kitchen with a chef, GP clinic, op shop and hair salon. A convenience store with pantry basics will soon become an IGA with fresh fruit, vegetables and meat, and the community centre will be upgraded in the next two months. “We’re going to have a cafe that will provide breakfasts and lunch and dinner,” Ms Emmanuel said. Call Claire on 0408 414 159 or email claire.emmanuel@ lendlease.com for more information.
Australia’s biggest food truck carnival is coming back to Berwick this summer, serving up tasty treats from Melbourne’s finest food trucks for the local community to enjoy, all while raising funds to help sick children in need. Running from Friday 16 March to Monday 19 March, the four-day Berwick Food Truck Carnival will offer a selection of mouth-watering international dishes as well as a range of entertainment options, helping to raise funds for the Monash Children’s Hospital. Although entry to the carnival is free, funds from various components will be donated to the hospital, including amusement rides, face painting, roaming entertainment and parking. Event organiser Danny Grant said the Berwick Food Truck Carnival was part of a dozen food truck carnivals being held across suburban Melbourne over the summer period, aiming to raise $100,000 to $150,000 for the hospital. “It’s great to be able to support such a wonderful cause across our 2016-’17 Summer Carnival Tour. “We attracted 50,000 people to our inaugural food truck carnival in Berwick in March and thought it would be awesome to be able to use these large crowds to help a worthy cause. “At the same time, we are giving families in regional and suburban areas the opportunity to enjoy Melbourne’s premium offering of food trucks and carnival entertainment that isn’t normally available in the city’s outskirts. “We are trying to build a

Farm World marks 50th This year marks the 50th anniversary of Farm World at Lardner Park and Victoria’s premier agricultural event is striding into the future with a strong list of more than 900 exhibitors from Thursday 30 March until Sunday 2 April. Demonstrations and presentations will cover native foods, fibre, profile chef cooking, home composting and much more. This year will see a little nostalgia as Farm World reflects on the journey so far, celebrating the long-term loyalty of machinery exhibitors such as Vin Rowe, Gendore, R.E.N. and Alto Motors which were present in the founding years of Farm World, which was formerly known as The Gippsland Field Days. Still exhibiting today, they join a long list of national and regional farm machinery exhibitors with new model releases, wide ranges of stocks and onsite experts. BJ Bearings, a long-term exhibitor at Farm World, has increased its association by taking up naming rights for what was previously known as the General Interest Pavilion - now the BJ Bearings Pavilion - so visitors should make sure they check out the fantastic product range and advice. This year’s theme is Food and Fibre, and Saturday and Sunday will see a celebratory Food and Fibre Fiesta in the main Conference and Exhibition building with presentation sessions, fresh produce stalls and fibre demonstrations and sales. Visitors will be able to learn how to take awesome photographs of food for Facebook and Instagram, cooking with essential oils, native foods, bread and cheese making demonstrations, funky basket weaving, home composting and much more.
Farm World will this year celebrate its 50th anniversary. Two high profile cooking demonstrations will be conducted by the renowned Alejandro Saravia, Peruvian-born chef and owner of Pastuso in Melbourne. Women in Agriculture, presented by Telstra and supported by Commonwealth Bank Australia, holds a much loved luncheon on Thursday. Visit www.lardnerpark.com.au for the fantastic speaker line-up. On Friday there will be an early
breakfast hosted by the Commonwealth Bank followed by the official opening luncheon with regional food and fibre expert Paul Ford as the main speaker. On Friday afternoon a free-entry forum (seats must be booked on the website) is being hosted by the Society of Precision Agriculture Australia and Young Farmers Ministerial Advisory Council, with a focus on Collaborating to Innovate.
With an industry leading panel of speakers, focus is on precision technology in agriculture and social media and how these are driving higher outputs for farmers. There will be plenty of good tips and insight to be gained from this forum. The Farm World Equestrian Expo was a huge success in 2016 and this year has show-jumping, dressage, mounted games, a breed village, trade
exhibits, heritage draught horses, pony rides and plenty more. Supporters loved this event last year and lining up again this year they include Pakenham and Gippsland Isuzu UTE as the main arena partner, the Mitavite Cool Crusada Masterclass Arena, Pakenham Produce Farm World Cup, and Yarragon Rural Supplies Farm World Mini Prix. For all competition and masterclass session details, prizemoney, and sponsors visit www.lardnerpark.com.au. New to Farm World in 2017 is the big Gippsland Jersey Milk Off challenge which consists of timed milking challenges of one teat, one hand, one minute, and most milk collected. With noted regional media and political personalities along with commercial dairy farming education and presentations, the event will be interspersed with engaging panel discussions and theatrics with patrons between daily milk-off sessions. There will be plenty of retail shopping opportunities together with indoor trade exhibitors in the Baw Baw and BJ Bearings Pavilions, with a parcel delivery service available. Don’t forget about the new two-day extravaganza with the Food and Fibre Fiesta on Saturday and Sunday in the main building - demonstrations and presentations together with dynamic displays and food and fibre products for sale. Information and tickets for Farm World and functions are available for the first time online at lardnerpark. com.au still at 2016 ticket prices! Tickets available at the gate on the day at 2017 prices.

Hole in ozone theory “This ozone hole certainly exists but it only affects Antarctica and the areas of the southern ocean immediately around this continent. It has never affected Australia. We are simply too far north.“ Mr Inskip said the UV index in Australia was higher because of the elliptical orbit of the earth around the sun brings the southern hemisphere five million kilometres closer to the sun in summer compared to the northern hemisphere in summer. “It’s simple astrophysics. So remember to cover up this summer.“

Is the high UV index in Australia due to an ‘ozone hole’ ? In a word ‘no’ it is not, according to Mike Inskip at Sun Patrol. “The ‘UV index’ is a measure of the amount of skin cancer causing ultraviolet radiation that reaches the earth’s surface,“ said Mr Inskip. “The UV index is definitely higher in an Australian summer than at an equivalent latitude in the northern hemisphere during their summer. But this is not due to the Antarctic ‘ozone hole’.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Careers are tough at top By Casey Neill Two strong, successful women spoke out about busting gender barriers at a Springvale breakfast. Jennifer Osbourne and Yassmin Abdel-Magied were guests at the Showcasing Women in Business breakfast at Highways on Thursday 9 March which marked International Women’s Day. “Today’s theme is women pushing the boundaries,” SEBN manager Sandra George said. “You’re all outstanding women. “Believe in yourselves, encourage and support other women and have the confidence to have a go and don’t ever be afraid to be smart.” Ms Osbourne, the Organic Growers Group (OGG) manager, started out as a primary school teacher. “I guess you’d call me a late bloomer,” she said. She became a retail greengrocer and then a link between farmers and retailers. “Little did I realise at the time that I was slipping into a boys club,” she said. Ms Osbourne survived bullying at the hands of a man in her first role and moved on to OGG - owned and run by women. “I’d finally found somewhere to put my drive and ambition,” she said. “My job is to procure the produce and schedule it for arrival in time to sell.” One farmer told her that the best thing about dealing with OGG was no testosterone, “just good old-fashioned common sense”. But on the other side, she’s found that a male boss who makes a tough decision is praised as a great manager. “In my experience, when a female makes such a call, she’s just a bitch,” she said. She also recalled upsetting a young male trader. “He puffed his chest, faced up to me and raised his fist,” she said. “I had to call his bluff.” Since then she’s laughed off criticism and spent less time and energy worrying about what others think. “Don’t expect them to like you you have to be tough,” she said. “That became my biggest challenge. “I’m a marshmallow.
Yassmin Abdel-Magied speaks at the SEBN Showcasing Women in Business breakfast. “I’ve had to toughen up.” Ms Abdel-Magied dreamed of becoming a Formula One driver after watching movie Catch That Kid at age 13. “But I’m a Sudanese woman who likes to eat, that wasn’t going to happen,” she said. “I could design the car.” She was one of seven girls and 300 boys in her mechanical engineering course. “I became one of the boys because that’s how I knew how to survive,” she said. “I had no woman in any senior position above me that could show me a different example.” After university, she spent a year
in the UK following her Formula One dream but returned to Australia and landed a job on oil and gas rigs. “I was the first girl they hired in my department in Australia, which was odd because it was 2012,” she said. “I tried to be one of the boys.” But they were quick to point out that she wasn’t one. Ms Abdel-Magied spoke about marginalisation of women in the workplace. She’d walk onto a rig and the boys would be told “no more swearing, there’s a woman present”. It highlighted her difference and told others they had to adjust their behaviour when she was around.
She would be handed the pen to take minutes in meetings, and she’d be asked if she was married while a man alongside her was asked about his career experience. “You are seen first as a woman and not an engineer,” she said. Ms Abdel-Magied voiced ideas that were ignored, but then adopted minutes later after being raised by a man. When she walks onto a rig, people expect that she can’t drill a hole until she proves she can. “Men are deemed competent unless proven otherwise,” she said. “Women are deemed incompetent unless proven otherwise.” One of her latest projects is Mumtaza, which means ‘she’s excellent’ in
Arabic and is an organisation about empowering women of colour. Ms Abdel-Magied urged her audience to utilise sponsorship - to ask for help to open doors they can’t open themselves. “And who can you sponsor? What privilege do you have?” she said. “Never underestimate the impact a single individual - you - can make. “Each and every one of you have the capacity to change the world around you. “Embrace that, lean into it and good luck.” The next SEBN Showcasing Women in Business event will be a lunch on Tuesday 27 June.
New opening for manufacturing sees jobs and growth By Casey Neill Jobs and growth - one Dandenong South manufacturer is embodying the catch cry in a big way. Hilton Manufacturing needs up to 25 new employees to cope with an expected 25 per cent growth in business over the next four to five months. “Last time we had 25 per cent growth we were a business about a third of the size,” managing director Todd Hartley said. “We probably had a flat couple of years. “Over previous years we were more focused on delivering the product on time than looking at our infrastructure and making sure that we’re keeping up with progress.” Hilton hired a new CEO last year. “He took a step back to take a look at our infrastructure and what’s required to deal with our next period of growth,” Mr Hartley said. “From there, it freed up a few of us in the company that have gone out and worked on the relationships, looked at new industries, looked at new processes that will equate to new work.
Hilton Manufacturing workers on the factory floor.
Hilton Manufacturing workers need more colleagues.
“All of a sudden, it’s paying off at the moment.” He said that on top of that there’d been a significant increase in truck builds with Kenworth, Iveco and Volvo Mack. “That’s been the icing on the cake,” he said.
and fixture makers. “We’re more than happy to spend time with them to train them up, but as long as they have a work ethic,” Mr Hartley said. “Anyone that wants to turn up to work, we’re more than happy to give them a go.”
“Manufacturing in this region over the next 12 months is really going to be strong. “It’s going to go through a growth phase.” The sheet metal fabricator is looking for process workers, welders, CNC operators, tool makers, and jig
He said the auto industry exit did provide some opportunity, but workers were staying on board until the end. “It doesn’t look like anyone’s prepared to leave early because of their payout,” he said. “We can’t wait until October, we’ve got to do something now.”

Ava’s ‘Purple Army’ By Russell Bennett There’s a mighty purple army mobilising behind 10-year-old Casey Cavaliers basketballer, Ava Beck. The Berwick Primary School student is showing the world that living with epilepsy won’t hold her back, and that what she lacks in physical stature she makes up for tenfold in sheer grit, toughness and a determination to succeed. Ava was told she had epilepsy when she was just nine and since then has had many seizures, some prolonged. The first of those came after a representative basketball tryout, as her mum Lisa explains. “She had quite a few seizures - we didn’t know what was going on - and then she was diagnosed with epilepsy,” she said. “All throughout last year she had a really difficult time. “She was in and out of hospital a lot - and missed a lot of school - but she continued playing basketball, both domestic and representative." Lisa said that apart from close friends and family, Ava’s team mates were the first people she told about her diagnosis. Since then, they’ve rallied around her both on the court and off. “When she was sick and in and out of hospital, all her teammates were always coming to visit her and they started wearing purple,” Lisa explained. Purple Day - on 26 March - is a global initiative dedicated to raising epilepsy awareness. It was founded in 2008 by a then nine-year-old - Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia in Canada. Motivated by her own struggles with epilepsy, Cassidy started Purple Day in an effort to get people talking about the condition and to let those impacted by seizures know they’re not alone. Now Ava - who plays Under 12s for the Berwick Panthers and Cavaliers, and also Under 14s for the Panthers is pushing forward with the cause at a local level. It was just a month ago that she decided she wanted to do something for Purple Day. She could have easily chosen to

They’ll be selling merchandise and holding competitions, holding purple face painting stalls, and the coaches
will be wearing purple wigs all day. The Timbarra, Beaconhills and Casey basketball stadiums will be taking part on the day. Ava was never going to be a basketballer - she was going to be a dancer, until she fell in love with the game watching her sister playing it. “I think it’s great that she chose basketball because it’s one big community,” Lisa said. “Both her clubs - the Berwick Panthers and Casey Cavaliers - have really got on board.” To this stage, Ava and her ‘Purple Army’ have sold close to more than $4000 worth of merchandise to raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria, and they’ve also registered the Purple Round with the nationwide Epilepsy Action Australia.
“There are a few associations that support epilepsy but we chose the foundation because it’s a not-for-profit and, from day one, they’re been all about advocacy and education and training,” Lisa said. “When Ava was first diagnosed, they’re the ones who provided her with a case worker, who got us on to all the resources that were available. “She has emergency medication that she has to be given to stop her seizures so anyone looking after her needs to be trained in administering that medication. “The Epilepsy Foundation have provided a nurse to come out to her school and also to come out to our family, some of our friends, and some of our basketball parents. “With that training it means that on the weekends when the girls all play

Big names signed for Davey’s Doves By David Nagel Putting a settled line-up on the park will be the biggest challenge for new Doveton coach Aaron Davey after the club secured some top-line talent during the off-season. The Doves have bolstered their big-man department with the return of Frank D’Agostino and become more potent in front of goal with former Essendon livewire Alwyn Davey joining Clayton McCartney from Rumbalara in the Murray League as a dangerous duo at the feet of new key forward Taylor Joyce. Now all the Doves need to do is keep their cattle on the park.
After a five-year hiatus the Doves have played finals football for the last two years despite a high-turnover of players. They used 45 players when finishing fifth in 2015 before using a South East Football Netball League-high 48 players on their way to finishing fourth last year - bundled out on both occasions by Beaconsfield in the elimination final. Reigning premier Cranbourne required just 34 players last year with 13 playing every game for the season. By comparison the Doves had just one - Jordan Temopoulos. It’s a massive discrepancy and one that Davey and new fitness coach
Geoff Collie will be keen to address as preparations build for 2017. The Doves showed signs of life against the top-three last year, defeating Narre Warren twice, but were noncompetitive in all four outings against grand finalists Cranbourne and Berwick. The recruitment of Joyce is a massive boost for the Doves, highly-competitive through the midfield in recent seasons but unable to convert in front of goal. Shannon Henwood (22 goals) topped the goal-scoring last year, the highest total in the last three seasons after Mitch Pierce (21 in 2015) and Simon Black (18 in 2014) led
the charts beforehand. Joyce - a tall, strong, clean-marking forward who played in Beaconsfield’s 2014 premiership before joining Noble Park last year - has the talent to be the Doves’ first forward to kick 50 goals since Danny Cassett (89) way back in 2005. Davey’s coaching support cast this season will consist of Chris Rodriquez (Reserves) and Nathan Wilson (Under 19s) while Graham Henwood will assume the role of director of coaching. The Doves open their 2017 SEFNL campaign with a home game against Officer on 1 April ahead of a Good Friday visit to Hampton Park on Friday 14 April.
Doveton is primed for a big season under new coach Aaron Davey. 152108

Swans skittled, but proud By Nick Creely VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET REVIEW - QUARTER-FINAL Casey-South Melbourne coach Brian Keogh has urged his players to take the next step in their exciting journey and continue to improve, after the Swans were trundled out of the finals by an experienced Fitzroy-Doncaster on the weekend. Although disappointed to have lost their first final as a group, Keogh said that his chargers have exceeded expectation and raised the bar for the future. “We were pleased to make the finals - it’s a great achievement considering where we were, but once you get there you get excited and hungry, because you don’t know when you’ll get back there again,” he said. “I think we’re still off the pace a little bit from the best four sides, but we’re not far away - the improvement has been significant, but we need to start again next season and that’s the challenge of the competition - I hope in a way this loss drives us in our journey forward. “Next year there’s going to be expectation we can keep improving and get back into the finals - why can’t we get better and keep improving? “I’m backing in the same people next year - in Round 1 next year, why can’t we have a similar looking side?” On day one of their clash at Schramms Reserve, the Swans’ top order was skittled via some tight bowling but a helpful pitch, which seemed to spit off a length and cause several moments of uncertainty. The Swans were 5/50, with their

second consecutive half-century, and combined with Nathan Lambden (13), pushed the Swans up to a competitive but perhaps slightly under-par 139.
But the signs were good early, with the Swans taking four early-wickets to place the Lions under immense pressure.
The game was heated in the first two hours, with Brendan Rose in particulare bowling with aggression, and when he removed opening batsman Matthew Frith (20), he got on his face and let him know his thoughts. With a win on the cusp, class was what was needed for the Lions - and class is what they got - Trent Lawford (63) then guided them home sixwickets down, rescuing them from the clutch of defeat. “You have to take your chances, and having them 6/88 we were confident, but we were just unable to keep the game on our terms,” Keogh explained. “Credit to them, they are a very experienced and mature outfit who simply played better than us over the course of the two days - we weren’t far away, and we felt it could have gone either way.” Rumours are rife that the Swans could have some players in the pipeline already for next year, with the possibility that Ryder Medallist Clive Rose will return to the club if he fails to get a state contract at Tasmania, and star opening bat and former Swan James Seymour, who played the second-half of the season in the VSDCA, could also be available. “We’d love to see Clive get a contract with Tasmania, but he is a CaseySouth Melbourne person and we would obviously welcome him back,” Keogh said. “James had one great season with us, and we’d like to think he is also a Casey-South Melbourne person - they both are, so we’ll see what happens.”

By Nick Creely DDCA SEMI-FINAL REVIEW TURF 1 Right on the stroke of the Christmas break, Mordialloc weren’t even in calculations to finish inside the top-four. It seemed the Bloodhounds would just be one of those clubs making up the numbers. But in stunning fashion, they are now grand final bound, and after crushing the top-placed Hallam-Kalora Park away from home, the expectations are rising that a premiership at Ben Kavanagh Reserve is on its way. When Bloodhounds skipper Stuart Squires elected to bat, the Hawks got their tail up, skittling the top-order to leave them hanging precariously at 4/51 then 5/67. But when Chathura Athukorala entered the ground ready to bat, the game tipped on its head - in what was a matchdefining and brave 112-run partnership with Damith Mapa Ralage, the Bloodhounds didn’t look back. When Athukorala (66) was eventually run-out, it didn’t stop Mapa Ralage (95 not out) from playing one of the season’s special knocks, guiding his side to an imposing and match-winning 9/261 at day’s end. Hawks’ skipper Steve Gilmour (3/87) was a shining light on day one, bowling a whopping 25-overs in warm conditions, but there was simply not enough contributors.
HSD batsman Robert Davies faces a ball from Susa Picture: ROB CAREW Pradeep. 165884 And it seemed that the Bloodhounds’ impenetrable momentum would not be broken when Squires broke through for two early wickets on day two, but a 125-run partnership between Jagveer Hayer (56) and Jordan Hammond (80 not out) had the Hawks in the box-seat. The score was 2/139 - what could possibly go wrong for the Hawks? Well Ian Daniel (5/36) took four quick wickets before anyone at the ground could blink, and in utterly stunning fashion, saw his Bloodhounds dismantle the top side for just 157. After the top-four in the scorecard, no one managed to score in double-digits. The Bloodhounds can now enjoy a week off before they play in the grand final on 25 March. Down at Park Oval, an absolutely stellar century to star allrounder Kaushyla Weeraratne
(111) has seen HSD end Buckley Ridges’s season. Coming in on day one at 3/48, Weeraratne flayed the Bucks’ bowlers all over the tiny ground, belting four sixes en route to his first ton of the season. He was well supported by Michael Davies (45) who has had an ultra-consistent season. In the absence of Bucks’ all-rounder Luke Fletcher, who returned to the UK to begin his professional season, Susantha Pradeep (5/70) stood up in a brilliant spell. And on day two, Davies (4/50), Weeraratne (2/20) and Lee Brown (3/51) choked the life out of the contest, as the Cobras rattled through them with ease, bowling the homeside out for 165. The Cobras now face-off with Hallam-Kalora Park next week for a chance to play a grand final against Mordialloc.

Title hinges on three men By David Nagel The unwavering, unshakable belief of three men will be put to the ultimate test when Kooweerup and Pakenham lock horns in this weekend’s WGCA Premier Division grand final at Denham’s Road. The commitment and dedication of Kooweerup captain-coach Mark Cooper collides head first with Pakenham’s resolute skipper Dom Paynter, and its unyielding coach Rob Elston, in a battle of the three best leaders in the game. The Demons and Lions are dripping with talent all the way down their lists, there’s no doubt about that, but these three men encapsulate the saying “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Cooper stood out like a beacon against his former club Cardinia (152) last week scoring a magnificent 141 not out to lead his Demons (6/249cc) to an emphatic advance to the grand final. And it was the brilliant 117-run partnership of Paynter (87) and Elston (45) that steered the Lions (9/202) out of the mire at 5/58, eventually winning a thriller against Tooradin (199). So what makes these blokes so special? It’s no coincidence that when all three combined for this year’s Country Week campaign, the WGCA Warriors came out on top, winning division three. Cooper the ultimate preparer, skipping rope in the carpark prior to games, Paynter and Elston the best onfield organisers in the business. Cooper leads all-comers this season, scoring a mammoth 792 runs at the imperious average of 79.2. Paynter (426 at 38.7) and Elston (351 at 39) combined can’t match that tally, but it’s when they do their busi-

ness that counts. Quite simply, the Lions wouldn’t be in this position of going for backto-back titles if it wasn’t for Elston. Chasing 217 in last year’s grand final against the Demons, the Lions were 6/125 when he walked -or limped- to the crease. Under the ultimate pressure he shared a small partnership with Sean Gramc before crowning the Lions as West Gippsland champions with an unbeaten 72-run stand with Ben Shipperd. He just would not be beaten.
And that’s the tantalising factor that makes this grand final so appealing. The Demons, they have weatherbeaten heroes who have been through the wringer a million times, but still maintain their gloss. Loyal stalwarts like Matt Davey, Chris O’Hara, and the Bright-brothers -Chris, John, Matt and Paul- have seen it all before winning multiple premierships at the club. Cooper, as you would expect, is fully respectful of this weekend’s opponent.
“History says these two clubs are really good rivals, and they’ve matched up well over a lot of years,” he said. “We respect them hugely, and they’re the reigning premiers for a reason. Both on and off their field, they’re a very strong club and they’re led really well as a unit by Dom (Paynter), Rob (Elston), and (club president) Phil Anning. “They’ve also got a lot of local boys in their side, and so do we.” Paynter said this could be his side’s
Demons fight back under pressure By Nick Creely AFLW REVIEW ROUND 6 ADELAIDE v MELBOURNE Melbourne has kept their grand final hopes alive for another week, surviving a late scare to defeat second-placed Adelaide in Darwin on Saturday night. Needing a win to stay in the race for a grand final appearance, the Demons looked nervous early, with the Crows able to utilise the slippery and humid conditions to take a 13-point lead into the first-break. But through some inspiration by skipper Daisy Pearce (20 disposals, 1 goal), the Dees sprang to life, dominating the next two-quarters. As Pearce lifted, so did her teammates around her, with Karen Paxman, Sarah Lampard and co starting to get some outside footy, with the Crows unable to keep up when the Dees got the ball on their terms. But with minutes to play, the Dees looked home, but last-gasp goals to Kellie Gibson and Sarah Perkins scared the life out of the demon camp, before the visitors were able to ice the clock, and more importantly keep their season alive. Demons coach Mick Stinear was full of praise for his side’s composure under pressure, and praised his skipper for lifting when it mattered. “The girls were composed, and had a thirst for hard-work - the girls did a great job at the end with repeat stoppages and were able to kill the clock,” he explained. “There was youth and experience in our defence and they were excellent - they played with a lot of heart. “Our leaders had a good honest discussion this week and spoke about how to change things, nothing drastic but just little things like focus and application.
Daisy Pearce, pictured here in Round 3, was stellar for her side on Saturday night. 165088 Picture: AFL MEDIA “Adelaide got the better of us early, but then Daisy our captain drove our legs and lead the way - Daisy has proven herself for a number of years, and she’s been under pressure but she’s extraordinary on and off-field - the best thing about her is her ability to educate. “Everyone contributed to be honest- it was a good team effort.” The win, which seems the Demons breathing down the neck of the Crows, leaves next week’s clash against Fremantle all the most important. “We just need to win next week and play fourquarters, and we’ll see where it takes us,” Stinear said. “A win on the road is very important for us -
for a young group to experience it is great - we will keep going about our business and see how we go.” The Demons host Fremantle at Casey Fields on Saturday, with a win leaving them in second-spot before the Crows play Collingwood the next day.

greatest challenge. “They’re always capable of playing great cricket when it matters most,” he said. “And Coops - his is a real thinking man’s game. He’s in the action all day. “I think this is a harder challenge for us this year (than last) because this is the one currently before us. I’m sure we’re not the same challenge for them either. Whether it’s easier or harder that’s up to them.” The action kicks off on Saturday at 1pm. CRICKET SCOREBOARD

Flames finally burn By Nick Creely WNBL GRAND FINAL GAME ONE REVIEW One thing is for certain, the electric crowd packed into Brydens Stadium certainly got their money’s worth, because the Rangers and Flames sure played out an epic. In game one of the WNBL grand final series on Saturday night, the Dandenong Rangers threw everything they had at Sydney, but were ultimately overcome by a narrow margin. The final scoreline read 82-91 but it was a game that was never over until the last 20 seconds, such was the turns and twists that usually accompany a grand final. It was an action-packed and exciting opening term, with the Flames taking a narrow four-point margin into the first break. The occasion didn’t seem to unsettle either side, who were playing quality basketball and at a fast pace. The second term saw the first twist of the night with the Rangers wrestling back some control, mostly through the exploits of their star, Sara Blicavs, and took a narrow lead into the major break. A bit of cat-and-mouse started to creep into the tactics of both sides, with scoring slowing down slightly after the major break, but it was the Flames who were able to convert some ice-cool three-point shots to gain some ascendency. And in a pulsating last term, in which time seemed to be slowing down, both sides traded blows, fatigue set in but the will to win never diminished. The Flames burnt the court early in the final-term, with back-to-back baskets showing signs they could potentially run amok and strip the game away from the grasp of the Rangers. But that’s when things tightened up defensively from the Rangers, who chipped away at the slender deficit and started to once again find it on their terms. But ultimately the Flames found a way to win, with Leilani Mitchell draining an incredible three-point shot with just 40 seconds left to play. And despite a late scramble, the Flames were just too strong on their home deck. Sara Blicavs was a dominant
Casey Cardinia United is about to embark on its first season in Gridiron Victoria’s first division, and the club is determined to make an immediate and lasting impression. ‘The U’ is an amalgamation of the Berwick Miners and two-time reigning Division 2 champions, the Pakenham Silverbacks, and will this season be bolstered by a number of former Gippsland Gladiators. Paul Tindall, who coached the Silverbacks to their first title, has returned to the helm this season replacing last year’s championshipwinning coach Mel Martin, who has moved on to Division 1 powerhouse, the Croydon Rangers. There will be plenty of fresh faces at The U, which will be without former Silverbacks stars Chevy Edwards, Adam Kolinski, and star import quarterback Kevin Russell to name a few.
BERWICK BOWLS Three sides from Berwick made it to the Sectional Semi-Finals with all three matches played at Berwick on Saturday. Watched by an enthusiastic crowd all three Berwick sides managed to win their final and secure a spot in the Sunday Final. Celebrations around the club were loud and proud. Saturday Semi-Final results: Berwick (3) 90-15 defeated Glen Waverley 64-3 Berwick (4) 88-16 defeated Malvern 74-2 Berwick (6) 79-12 defeated Ferntree Gully 75-6
SECTIONAL FINALS The Sectional Finals were held at neutral venues on Sunday 12 March with two of the three Berwick sides emerging as victors. All matches were hard-fought battles and all players are to be congratulated on their efforts with the club adding another two Sectional Finals to their collection. Each of the winning sides will now play in a higher division next season as a result of their success with the number three side now playing in Division 1 next season. A sensational end to a great season of Pennant Bowls. RESULTS Berwick (3) 86 defeated Clayton 73 Berwick (4) 76 were defeated by Mulgrave 83 Berwick (6) 80 defeated Ferntree Gully 73

But it was the class of Alex Wilson (22 points, six rebounds and five assists) that shone brightest for the Flames, while a strong all-round game by Mitchell (15 points and six assists) was vitally important. Rangers coach Larissa Anderson said despite the loss, they felt like the two sides matched up evenly and that the race for the flag is still wideopen. “I was really proud of the girls with all the travelling we’ve done, they did an exceptional job and came out really ready,” she said. “There were lots of things we
could have done better defensively, and if there was any doubt we couldn’t match them, that has certainly put that to bed - it’s now about bouncing back on Friday night at home. “It felt like we were there allabouts throughout the game - we had a few mental lapses throughout and if you take that out it may not have been that result, but it’s easy to say that in hindsight. “Not a lot separated the two sides, but we will tweak some things but not much because we weren’t far off the mark.” Anderson said the atmosphere at Brydens was electric, and that it certainly felt like the crowd was a major influence in dragging the hosts over the line, but conceded that Sydney are a model side for
the competition. “The crowd was huge - very loud - so credit to them for getting that grand final atmosphere - I think our girls did well to rise to the occasion and we really enjoyed it,” she said. “Everytime we play Sydney, they show how poised and experienced they are, and that was probably the difference to be honest - they made some big threes and we missed some wide open threes.” Game two heads down to Dandenong on Friday night, with the Rangers looking to put behind their disappointment of the loss. The Rangers have a strong homeground record, and will be desperate to ensure the grand final stays alive until game three, which would be played back in Sydney only two days later.
Big things planned for ‘The U’ this season By Russell Bennett
Grand final win promotion for Berwick
But they’ll all be united behind Tindall under one aim - sustained success in the competition’s top tier. “From what you’re looking at with rookies and bits and pieces, we could be looking at about 60 guys from the three clubs (Silverbacks, Miners, and Gladiators),” Tindall said. “It’s a great pool to reach from as a coach - to see there are 10 guys playing for a spot. I don’t care how long you’ve been playing for, if I think a player is better than you, he’s going in your position straight away.” Tindall had to step away from his coaching role last season due to family commitments, but he was never far from the action. “I’d volunteer at games,” he said. “There’s no better place to watch a game from than standing on the sideline doing the chain crew. “I got to see a few things that I’ll
address in the pre-season that, as a coach, I wouldn’t have personally put up with and I won’t. I’m sure some people won’t be happy, but we’re stepping up (to Division 1). The guys are going to be more committed and ready to go. You can’t afford to be casual in Division 1.” Tindall said the The U couldn’t afford to let complacency creep in, particularly after the bulk of the playing list was a part of such a dominant season with the Silverbacks last year. “It’s going to be about dedication from the players, acceptance of the playbook and a willingness to want to learn - to want to put in the time,” Tindall said. “With the way I run my training and the way we’re running our playbook there’s no room for complacency. “If you’re happy to pay your money to the club, suit up, and sit on the sidelines for the whole day by
all means we’re happy to have you you can run water out to the boys. But if you’re not going to put the effort in at training, learn the playbook, or compete at a higher level than you did last year, then you’re going to struggle to get game time.” CCU president and Silverbacks co-founder Richie Howlett said the club was exploring its options in potentially bringing across an import prior to the season. That player could well be a quarterback. If that was to happen, The U could only dream of a result like the one they received with Russell at the helm last season. But first thing’s first - being competitive every week, and having a chance to win every game. “This will be the fourth year the club has played, and they’ve probably gone through four different playbooks,” Tindall said. “It’s time for the club to try and find its own identity now.”
Bill Webb was part of Hampton Park's only winning rink against Ferntree Gully.
Parkers sent packing away HAMPTON PARK BOWLS The bowling season is over for Hampton Park’s Saturday Division 4 and Division 6 pennant players after two losses in their sectional semi-finals on Saturday. Both teams finished fourth on their ladders and had to play the top teams in their section, unfortunately away from Pound Road. Division 4 travelled back to Keysborough for a chance to play in the Section Final, but finished with a similar result as last week. Val Moore, Jen Sherry, Denise Eastick and Geoff Ampt again faltered late in a close game to go down 17-24, while Trevor Harbright, Janice Collins, Mark Paton and Ken Cobden made a comeback, but went down 11-19. Marion Battaglia, Helen Lambert, Sean McDonald and Heather Naismith also made a comeback, but fell short 19-27 and Vince Kovacic, Aaron Ottaway, Rob Woff and Ron Beverley had a bad day (7-25) Keysborough (2) 95 d Hampton Park (2) 54 Division 6 had the tougher task at Ferntree Gully and although they went down by 11 shots, it is a sterling effort on their super slick carpet. The club’s only winning rink for the day was Dave Isted, Rhonda Diaper, Bill Webb and Toni Sutton (21-19). Lou Soligo, Craig Richards, Brian Diaper and Ray Wood were close (15-17) as were Val Simpson, Bill Holden, Gavin Wilson and Ian Kitt (21-25). Gerry Cox, Wayne Grimsey, Richard Pallett and Stuart Tokely were also not far away, losing 17-24. Ferntree Gully (5) 85 d Hampton Park (3) 74
Geoff Ampt's rink fought hard before going down 17-24 to Keysborough.

�� Reviews and news…
Subaru is a driver’s treat By Alistair Kennedy We seem to spend much of our road testing time behind the wheels of SUVs nowadays. As much as we appreciate the functionality and convenience of these vehicles they do fall down in one respect … they’re not a lot of fun to drive. So we’ve given ourselves a treat with this week’s road test, the Subaru BRZ, a delightful little 2.0-litre twodoor coupe with six-speed manual transmission. Subaru BRZ has been on sale in Australia since 2012 although it didn’t hit the dealers’ showroom floors until 2014 with supply restrictions seeing them sold exclusively over the internet in that interim period. The BRZ is built as a joint venture with Toyota, Subaru’s part-owner, and it competes directly against its nearidentical twin, the Toyota 86. The division of labour between the two companies makes sense with Toyota looking after the product planning and styling while Subaru is in charge of its engineering development and manufacture, the latter at Subaru’s Ota plant in Japan. The latest BRZ was released in late 2016 with some minor design tweaks, extra engine outputs and revised suspension tuning. New exterior features include LED headlights and taillights, new
10-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a wider and lower bumper design. Inside there’s optional red stitching and BRZ embossing on the front seats, enhanced instrument gauges and a new steering wheel. Topping of the package are price reductions with the manual BRZ now selling for $32,990 and the automatic for $34,990, down by $1230 and $1735 respectively on the preceding model. The 2012 model sold for $37,150 (manual) and $39,730 (automatic). The BRZ certainly looks the part with its wide and low stance, short overhangs and flared wheel arches. The front features a large, hexagonal grille with sweeping headlights and the rear is tall and square with an additional brake light positioned between twin large tail pipes. The cabin features a roofline in keeping with the car’s low profile and although it’s necessary to hunker down into the driver’s seat once settled in the seat is firm but comfortable and there’s plenty of leg and headroom. Although technically a four-seater, the two rear seats are only there for emergency use and not for long-distance trips. At 218 litres the boot is relatively small although the rear seatbacks do fold flat for extra storage space. Surprisingly for a car where space is at a premium, BRZ comes with a
Model range BRZ 2.0-litre two-door coupe: $32,990 (manual), $34,990 (automatic) BRZ Premium 2.0-litre twodoor coupe: $34,490 (manual), $36,490 (automatic)
Subaru BRZ is a real head-turner. full-size spare wheel. Power for the BRZ comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged horizontally-opposed petrol engine that generates 152 kW of power at 7000 rpm and 212 Nm of torque at 6400 revs (147 kW and 205 Nm with the auto). The engine also sounds great with the characteristic throaty sound of the Subaru ‘boxer’ engine. With our fun focus we made sure that our test car had the six-speed manual, a superbly notchy short-throw unit that’s both fast and smooth and just asks to be used frequently. Both the manual and the six-speed automatic transmissions were specifi-
cally developed for the BRZ. The automatic gets paddle gear shifts. BRZ breaks new ground for Subaru in Australia in having rear-wheel drive. All other models sold here have allwheel drive (AWD). The little Subie coupe gets a fivestar ANCAP safety rating courtesy of seven airbags; stability and traction control; ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist; Isofix child seat anchor points; LCD daytime running lights; front and rear fog lights; hill start assist; and reversing camera. Also new for the MY17 BRZ is a
Vehicle Dynamic Control ‘Track’ for extra performance. Information display is through a 6.2-inch LCD touchscreen. Bluetooth pairing is fast and logical and the USB and auxiliary sockets are in the front of the central console. The audio system has six speakers but having to compete against the combination of the engine burble and road noise means the sound quality isn’t great. As expected in a car of this type, the ride is firm with plenty of feel for the road yet comfortable enough for an extended trip. Steering is precise and direct with excellent feedback to the driver. Ride comfort is up with the best in this class. There’s no loss of driver confidence in the use of two-wheel rather than four-wheel drive, with the BRZ suspension producing plenty of grip and stability. Driving height is lower than we would prefer but that’s a minor compromise for all the handling benefits. It’s always offered excellent value never more so than now with a price cut and added equipment bringing the starting price down to $32,990 prior to on-road costs.
