Crime battle ‘lost’

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey mayor Sam Aziz says “we’ve lost the battle” after Casey’s crime rate soared during 2016, according to official crime statistics.

According to the Crime Statistics Agency, reported offences in Casey went up 12.5 per cent on a per-capita basis (15 per cent on raw figures).

It was higher than the statewide percapita crime-rate rise of 10.2 per cent.

Cr Aziz said his concerted law-andorder campaign - including lowering the council’s flag to half-mast and declaring Casey as a “city in distress” - was vindicated by crime’s “exponential” growth.

“I was a bit more than surprised by the (latest statistics),” Cr Aziz said.

“I was heart-broken. There is very much a human side to these statistics.

“In reality, people’s lives are disrupted every day by the rise of crime.

It flows on to depression, break-ups in families - it makes people feel very insecure.”

Overall, there were more than 2200 assaults in 2016 - up 20.9 per cent, more than 2800 burglaries - up 31.5 per cent, and 8000-plus thefts - up 17.8 per cent.

Put another way, that’s more than 40 assaults, about 55 burglaries and about 150 thefts a week.

Arsons nearly doubled to 256 for the calendar year.

On the other hand, drug offences were down 8.6 per cent; trafficking and drug dealing dipped 25 per cent, while drug cultivation and manufacture halved.

Hardest hit suburbs for burglaries were Berwick (up 40 per cent), Clyde North (up 46 per cent), Cranbourne West (up 31 per cent), Hallam (up 40 per cent) and Hampton Park (up 67 per cent).

Cr Aziz called for a stronger response from the State Government, which has pledged 3135 extra police

Asbestos works ‘limited’

By Cam Lucadou-Wells “Limited” earthworks occurred on a developer’s land during a tree-felling operation that triggered an alleged asbestos scare among Berwick residents in late January, according to the state’s environment watchdog.

Environment Protection Authority Victoria southern metro manager Marleen Mathias said officers had twice inspected the yet-to-be-built Alira residential estate site off Ward Road after the tree-felling and mulching works.

“EPA officers have not observed tree felling activities ... however EPA observations on the land show that only trees appear to have been removed on the land.

“Limited, if any, earthworks have actually occurred from which it is alleged dust impacted on residential neighbours.”

Ms Mathias said tree-felling didn’t require a licence or permit from the EPA but laws generally covering clean air would apply to dust emissions.

“Following recent inspections and discussions with WorkSafe, EPA has no evidence to support that works at site are not consistent with best practice.”

Resident Mark Weaven, who found a shard of confirmed asbestos material in his backyard during the works, claims building debris was unearthed, exposed and dispersed by heavy machinery during the works.

He said the debris should have been shielded by bollards or fencing at the time, or removed prior to the tree-felling.

“Even after several weeks’ exposure to the weather, evidence is still visible where the machines’ buckets have been digging and scraping the earth where this material is situated.

“If work had been carried out as per the WorkSafe guidelines ... the duty to

Dust flies from Alira estate into the Weavens' backyard in late January.

Picture: MARK WEAVEN control exposure to airborne asbestos fibres should have taken priority.”

Recently, the site’s temporary fencing has been affixed with a ‘Danger Keep Out’ sign but Mr Weaven says it doesn’t comply with asbestos signage requirements.

In a recent letter to adjoining residents in Bounty Way, developer Moremac Property Group stated there were “small amounts” of asbestos-containing material on “various parts” of the Alira site.

It was found in fibre cement sheeting of former buildings and in illegally dumped building waste, it claimed.

“We are aware there have been some

concerns in respect to dust nuisance.

“We want to assure you that no materials other than the trees removed have passed through the mulcher.”

The claim that third parties had illegally dumped construction and demolition waste on the land was not confirmed by any witness or video evidence, Ms Mathias said.

A WorkSafe spokeswoman said the developer would use an independent occupational hygienist to plan and oversee the removal of asbestos material on the site. It would be undertaken by a licenced asbestos removalist.

“WorkSafe will continue to meet with site management and make regular site inspections.”

Ricky gets hit - again

and then his Mazda MX-5 and Hyundai.

He said his neighbourhood had no problems until a particular household of people moved in nearby, as he told Star News in September.

“It never ends, it never ends - now I can’t even run my business because I don’t have a car,” he said at the time.

“Every time I leave here when I come back someone has been inside - how do you feel after that?”

Mr Maaskant thinks his wife died from the “shock” of being victim of one of the car thefts.

When the car was stolen and found with “ev-

ery piece of glass” smashed, she had become sad and died from a heart attack, he said.

After the most recent assault, Mr Maaskant said one of the occupants had been recently jailed over one of the thefts.

“I’m living with all those criminals in my street.

“But I don’t think I should be moving. They should be moving.

“I’m thinking about a German Shepherd.”

Crime battle deemed ‘lost’ as statistics keep soaring ingly common, Daniel Andrews has cut the opening hours of the Endeavour Hills Police Station and refused to commit to the much needed new Clyde police station.”

Crime Statistics Agency chief statistician Fiona Dowsley said vehicle theft and theft from vehicles was a sharp contributor to the statewide rise in thefts.

In February, Victoria Police chief commissioner Graham Ashton told a Casey Neighbourhood Watch forum that he was confident that police could help drive down the crime rate as low as one to two per cent

growth by the second half of 2017.

Last year, it had been climbing by 14 per cent but trending towards single digits in recent months.

The alarming spate of home invasions and carjackings was dissipating due to higher remand rates for those offences, Mr Ashton said.

But “softer-target” robberies of service stations and supermarkets, particularly for cigarettes, were rising.

Victoria Police did not respond to the latest stats by deadline.

From front page “We’ve always said turning the six year crime trend around would be tough, and we’ve always been upfront about that.”

Opposition police spokesman Edward O’Donohue said the “staggering” 37.9 per cent rise in offences in Casey during the Andrews Government’s first two years told of a “crime crisis”.

He said funding needed to be brought forward for “desperately needed” extra police in Casey.

Stabbed with a pitchfork in his own home, Cranbourne North widower Rick Maaskant is sadly no stranger to outrageous crime.

An unarmed Mr Maaskant was stabbed in the head and kicked in the back by three male intruders, about 11.20pm on Wednesday 15 March.

It’s the latest in a string of crimes that the retired cleaning business owner has been on the receiving end of. He’s had five cars, his wallet and TV remotes stolen from his Endeavour Drive home, he says.

But he’d never confronted intruders in his house before.

The grandfather of three says if they were second-time offenders they should “put them on a plane and drop them in the ocean”.

“We don’t need any more police, we don’t need any more jails,” he said.

“They just keep turning up.”

Mr Maaskant had been in bed for 10 minutes when he was awoken by a “big bang” inside the house.

The intruders - described as Caucasian, in their early twenties and wearing dark hoodies had smashed the glass on his recently-replaced sliding back door.

He found them in his hallway, asked them what they were doing and started fighting them with just his hands.

One of the males held a pitchfork to his face, another kicked him in the back seemingly to bring him to ground.

“I couldn’t do much because this fork was in my face.”

In the scuffle, an unarmed Mr Maaskant was deeply stabbed just above his right eye and behind his left ear.

Mr Maaskant considers himself lucky to have escaped with just those wounds.

“Blood was everywhere,” he said.

“I think the blood frightened the guys off.”

Mr Maaskant thinks the intruders were at least associates of earlier car thieves, who had broken into his house several times to steal spare car keys

Washout at Narre library

By Victoria Stone-Meadows

Warren Library was open for business again on Wednesday 22 March.

While the library was hit hard, it was not the only building in Casey to experience flooding.

The Narre Warren SES attended about 50 jobs across the municipality on Tuesday night with the Rossmoyne Family Resource Centre, in Berwick, particularly hard hit.

“Water started flowing from the back of the property and flowed through the entire building from one end to another,” Narre Warren SES Unit Controller Clinton Brown said.

“I would say it would be a few days before they are open again; a fair amount of water passed through.”

The SES said most incidents they were called to occured in Hampton Park and Cranbourne which are the lower laying areas of the City of Casey.

“This is a timely reminder not only for people to avoid entering flood waters but to make sure their properties are maintained to deal with heavy rain as well,” Mr Brown said.

“You should make sure your gutters are clear and free and that your property is neat and tidy so drains are free from debris.”

Staff at the Narre Warren Library mop up after heavy rain entered the building.

Heavy downpours this week disrupted operations at the Narre Warren Library when the building was inundated with water on Tuesday 21 March.

The library was forced to close to the public shortly after 5.30pm when it was clear the weather was not going to improve.

The children’s section of the library was hardest hit - by water pouring from the ceiling and while no books were lost to the floodwaters some DVDs did get a little wet.

Casey Cardinia Libraries CEO Chris Buckingham said he was very pleased with the way library staff responded in the emergency.

“People were smiling while mopping up and council were really good in the way they responded with cleaners and got us open again,” he said.

“The Narre Warren Library is in an old building and it’s been been flooded before so this is another really good reason to move to Bunjil Place.”

Mr Buckingham also said he was very grateful to the library patrons for their understanding and patience while the library was cleaned up.

With the quick work of the library staff and cleaning teams from the council, the Narre

Police investigate a stolen postal delivery van that was jacked in Cranbourne East and Picture: CONTRIBUTED dumped in Nyora. 166378

Mail delivery is carjacked A late parcel delivery for people in Cranbourne East may not be Australia Post’s fault, following the carjacking of a Star Track delivery van on Tuesday 21 March.

A delivery driver left his van parked on the side of Waterside Drive at about 9.15am to quickly carry a parcel to a nearby house.

As the delivery driver stepped away from the van, leaving the keys in the ignition, an unknown man approached the vehicle.

The delivery man heard the other man get into the driver’s seat of the van and turn on the engine.

Before the carjacker had a chance to drive away, the deliv-

ery man ran back to the van and tried to pull the keys from the ignition.

The thief started to drive away and pushed the delivery man out of the van, leaving him with cuts and abrasions to his hands and knees.

The delivery van was recovered a short time later in the small town of Nyora after being tracked by GPS and the engine shut off remotely.

Most of the packages in the back of the van had been emptied of their contents by the time police caught up with the stolen vehicle.

Three people were arrested and questioned in relation to the theft of the van and of the parcels.

A 26-year-old man from

Gembrook has been charged with theft of motor vehicle, theft, handling of stolen goods and committing an offence while on bail.

He was remanded in custody to appear the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 22 March.

Detective Senior Constable from Casey Crime Investigation Unit Dan Jacobi said it could take some time to recover the stolen goods.

“Some of the mail was taken out of the van and while we have recovered the packing, we have no idea what was inside the packages,” he said.

“It could take weeks to find out what is missing because Australia Post doesn’t know what’s in these parcels and we also have no idea.”

In a recent statement read out today to a group of Casey residents and ratepayers, former Casey councillor, Steve Beardon, informed us that, among other things, he has been accused by mayor Sam Aziz of breaching council’s code of conduct for comments made to other councillors, both in and outside of council.

Steve Beardon is alleged to have referred to the Rise Up Australia Party secretary, and Four Oaks Ward councillor, Ms Rosalie Crestani, in unflattering terms. Her friend and fellow councillor, Ms Milla Gilic, claims she was shocked by Steve Beardon’s remarks.

Well Cr Gilic and mayor Sam Aziz I’m shocked that you both apparently condone the policies of the Rise Up Australia Party and have had absolutely nothing to say about a councillor who belongs to a political party which opposes immigration and multi-culturalism.

Casey is a multi-cultural community and deserves much better than councillors ideologically opposed to multi-culturalism or councillors who want to promote relations with an apartheid state!

What really needs to be asked is this: does Casey Council support racism? If not, then why is Cr Crestani allowed to remain in an official capacity with the RUAP when its policies are in conflict with her duties as a councillor?

Love of horses best off-road

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council’s quest for an expanded equestrian trail network will continue to make scarce use of the safest option - off-road, open-space trails, a council report has stated.

About three quarters of Casey’s 79 kilometres of horse-riding trails are on a road or next to a road.

Councillor Amanda Stapledon, in introducing a council report on the equestrian trail network on 7 March, said the potential mix of trucks and motorbikes with horses on the majority of trails was “not ideal”.

She said ideally more trails and linkages were required on bushland.

Of the 13 kilometres of new and upgraded trails built by Casey since 2011, more than six kilometres were on roadside trails and four kilometres were on roads.

Just 2.5 kilometres - or about 20 per cent - were trails in open space.

According to the report, the council plans 18 further equestrian projects spanning 29 kilometres - of which 4.9 kilometres will be in open space and 7.6 kilometres will be on roads.

“The preference within the equestrian strategy is for trails to be located off-road in open space areas to provide the safest and most enjoyable riding experience,” the report stated.

“However to create a connected trail network, road side trails and on road trails are required to link to these open space opportunities.”

Recently, former City of Berwick mayor Syd Pargeter re-ignited his push for a horse-riding trail through bushland at a former basalt quarry in Narre Warren North.

The potential trail linking Noack and King roads through the ex-Hanson Quarries site was welcomed by local riders.

Megan Joyce on La Lanie and Tom Saddler on Flint outside the disused Narre Warren North quarry. 165477 Jess Gough, of the nearby Balmoral Equestrian Centre, said riding was growing in popularity but local horses were startled by cars and trucks that “fly down here”.

“We don’t have the availability of those type of off-road trails and there’s a big need for it,” Ms Gough said.

“We have to ride on the road to get to the next trails. For young horses that haven’t been exposed to cars, it’s not worth the risk of taking them out on the road.”

Gayle Joyce said the link had been desired for 30 years, with safe offroad horse riding tracks becoming

increasingly rare.

“The equestrian community’s access to riding areas is diminishing.

“As everything develops around us, we have to retain these areas.”

The council report stated that onroad trails were most commonly on

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS rural dirt roads with “minimal traffic flow”, with signage to inform road and trail users of the trails.

“In order to achieve a safe and effective network, equestrian trails are required on roadside, on road and within open space.”

Wrong name is living on A precinct structure plan (PSP) in the southern reaches of Casey is still using the name of a WWI veteran that has no connection to the region, despite the discovery being made two years ago.

The McPherson PSP was named for what was believed to be a Digger from Clyde, but an investigation by a local historian in 2015 proved that to be untrue.

Jane Rivett-Carnac, from the Narre Warren and District Family History Group, found no definitive links to confirm a man named McPherson, or his family, lived in the Clyde area during WWI. Ms Rivett-Carnac believes listings in the National Archives referring to Clyde actually appeared to be shortened referenc-

es to the suburb of Clydesdale near Daylesford, to the northwest of Melbourne.

However, it's years on and the PSP is still being referred to as McPherson in all communication from the Victorian Planning Authority, Casey Council and the Office of the Planning Minister.

All parties have said McPherson is a temporary workingname and once the new PSP and suburb are established, a more suitable name will be chosen.

“The name hasn’t changed yet because it is temporary; there is a process where the office of geographic names will name places with community input,” a spokesperson for the Planning Minister said.

“Council will consider a re-

port at a future council meeting recommending names for a new suburb in Clyde North, the area in which the McPherson PSP covers,” City of Casey Principal Property Advisor Peter Gillieron said.

“The naming options will be released for public consultation.”

Ms Rivett-Carnac said it was disappointing the authorities had not corrected the naming error yet, but is still hopeful the new suburb will be named for a local war veteran.

“The name McPherson has no local connection,” she said.

“I thought the ideal name would have been Ridgeway apart from being a local family with Anzac connection the land in question is slightly undulating.”

Two teenagers managed to flee from a group of older boys who assaulted them and stole valuable items on Saturday 11 March.

The 14-year-old from Narre Warren and 16-year-old from Oakleigh were hanging out near the freeway overpass on Magid Drive in Narre Warren when they were approached by five older teenagers.

The older teenagers struck a conversation by offering to buy drugs from the younger pair and then assaulted them and stole their mobile phones and wallets.

The pair fled with minor injuries and later alerted police about what had happened.

The alleged offenders ranged between 15 and 20 years of age, with one of Maori appearance, three Caucasians and the other dark-skinned.

Schools to miss Gonski bus A lurid-green ‘Gonski bus’ has hit the roads around Berwick and Narre Warren as it campaigns against alleged federal funding cuts to schools.

The bus visited Berwick Fields Primary School, Narre Warren P-12 College and Berwick Secondary College on 15 March as part of a national tour of schools in the the Australian Education Union’s ‘I Give a Gonski’ campaign.

The AEU delegation planned to deliver the union’s report on Gonski funding results to La Trobe Liberal MP Jason Wood’s office in Berwick that afternoon.

However, its Gonski bus-driver reportedly refused to drive down the adjoining Langmore Lane, and Mr

Wood’s office staff denied they were paid a visit by the campaigners.

The AEU argue that the federal government plans to end Gonski needs-based funding for schools after 2017 despite the increased funding delivering smaller classes, targeted literacy and numeracy programs and more one-to-one support for students.

Schools in La Trobe could lose up to $28 million if the Gonski agreements were not “honoured”, AEU federal president Correna Haythorpe said.

“Malcolm Turnbull can find $50 billion for a corporate tax cut, but he can’t find a fraction of that funding to make sure our children get the support they need at school.”

Mr Wood said the government

was trying to fix 27 different “deals” made across the country, which were a “corruption” of the Gonski report author’s needs-based recommendations.

“There have not been, nor will there be, any Commonwealth government cuts,” Mr Wood said.

“Not only has our level of real funding for both government and non-government schools grown over the last decade, it has grown at a much faster rate than state funding.”

Mr Wood said the alleged $28 million funding cut was based on ‘cuts’ to a Labor election promise in 2013.

“It was neither funded nor budgeted for beyond 2017 and which remain unfunded under Labor’s current policies.”

The City of Casey is calling for Expressions of Interest from community members to nominate for the 2017-2021 Conservation Advisory Committee.

For more information and nomination forms visit www.casey.vic.gov.au/conservationadvisorycommittee or contact City of Casey Customer Service on 9705 5200

Casey Council has agreed to crack down on illegal overflow parking as part of agreeing to a lease and extension to Narre Warren Football Club’s clubrooms in Fox Road, Narre Warren North.

Council officers had met with the club and neighbouring residents concerned with the extension, especially given ongoing litter problems and illegal parking over their driveways and on blind-corner verges on block-buster match days at Kalora Reserve.

At a council meeting on 21 March, council officers reported that the location of ‘no stopping’ signs on Fox Road would

be re-checked and local laws officers would be enforcing parking rules on “peak” match days.

The peak match days are believed to be about six games a year against well-supported local opposing teams at the reserve.

Casey would also investigate increasing parking options on the south-side of Mackenzie Lane though the club had suggested increasing parking spots within the reserve at the Mackenzie Lane end, the report stated.

The football club would also make use of the parking area at nearby Jack Thomas Reserve, when necessary.

Resident Robyn Browne said she was happy that resi-

dents had been heard by the council.

“This communication wouldn’t have happened years ago in regards to our complaints about traffic, parking and (spectators’) respect for residents.

“It remains to be seen how it goes during the season.”

She said there would be a mixed reaction among residents about increasing parking on Mackenzie Lane.

The council had agreed in writing not to remove vegetation to make way for extra parking, she said.

Under the lease, Narre Warren Football Club will pay Casey $100 annual rent for five years, plus five further terms of five years.

Five-year jail term for man

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Narre Warren man has been jailed over 10 armed robberies in 23 days, in which he preyed on sole shop attendants at knifepoint for cash and cigarettes.

Sean O’Toole, 26, pleaded guilty in the County Court of Victoria to the offences as well as two similar attempted armed robberies and recklessly causing injury to one of the attendants.

In sentencing on 17 March, Judge Philip Misso said the community was entitled to feel outraged that O’Toole confronted “innocent and defenceless” shopkeepers in the way he did.

“The community must be protected from people like you who hit a soft target, disguised and armed with a potentially dangerous weapon.”

Typically, O’Toole wore a black hooded top, preyed on stores with one attendant and was prepared to brandish a

knife if the attendants didn’t comply with his demands for cash, Mr Misso said.

On the first offence on 7 June, O’Toole threatened to stab an attendant at a Narre Warren service station before being handed $170 cash and a packet of cigarettes.

In a 30 June hold-up, a shop attendant’s thumb was cut when it brushed O’Toole’s knife blade as he slammed the till shut.

Judge Misso said it was likely O’Toole would have continued with further armed robberies until his arrest on 2 July.

Four of the victims made impact statements to the court.

Several described their trouble sleeping, their shock and fear; one was described as left “sweating and paralysed” and unable to return to work.

In a statement, the shopkeeper whose thumb was cut during a hold-up however asked for the judge to show leniency.

O’Toole’s methamphetamine addiction had allegedly been triggered by anxiety, depression and trauma as a victim of a car-jacking in March 2015.

The ice use spiralled out of control by 2016. It led to the end of his relationship and a period of couch-surfing and living rough, Judge Misso said.

O’Toole claimed he had been kidnapped and assaulted by a man with a shotgun over a drug debt last year.

The judge accepted O’Toole’s offending was linked to drug use and his mental health but was encouraged by O’Toole remaining drug-free during his 253 days of remand custody.

O’Toole’s “genuine regret”, desire to lead a profitable life and early guilty plea were also noted.

He was jailed for five years, with a non-parole period of three years.

Lessons in law a hit with youth

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

12343451-LB12-17

Young people in Casey will be learning about the law through sports sessions under a community legal service program.

The Sporting Change program, with the help of sports stars and sport sessions, has been piloted at Narre Warren South P-12 College to teach students about police powers, employment law, and relationships and the law.

Springvale-Monash Legal Service community development worker Ashleigh Newnham said sport was a proven winner with engaging young people, and shared many parallels with the law.

There are umpires and police, sport tribunals and law, and being part of a sport team and a community.

Not knowing about the legal system was like going onto a football field without knowing the rules or having played before, Ms Newnham said.

“Are you more or less likely to break the rules of the game?

“This is like going out into life, without understanding the different ways in which laws intersect with us all each day.”

Different sports would be used to convey lessons - peo-

A surprise start-up being victim of an April car-jacking - in which fire-arms were used.

Police investigations were pending into the car-jacking, but the man claimed he was too scared to go to his Corrections appointments after seeing one of the alleged offenders at the offices, the court was told.

“He’s not sure if anyone’s been charged (with the car-jacking),” the lawyer said.

“It’s something significant in someone’s life and could cause someone to take a backwards step.”

The man had been arrested by police on 18 March on four outstanding warrants for failing to appear at court, the lawyer said.

“He’s been focusing on his business and personal life rather than prioritising his court requirements,” the lawyer said.

The man pleaded guilty to speeding, driving while suspended and drug-driving when intercepted by

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Narre Warren man - who owes more than $14,000 in court fines has told a court he has started up a financial-counselling business.

The 39-year-old had instructed his lawyer at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 20 March he’d been unable to complete his community corrections order because he was busy starting up the business.

“He works with people in significant amounts of debt,” his lawyer said.

“He assists them in getting financial stability.”

The man, who was not a registered financial counsellor, was still collecting a New Start allowance, the court heard.

The business was “just starting to take off”, the man’s lawyer said.

His lawyer also told the court the accused had been traumatised from

police on the Dandenong Bypass at Keysborough on 28 May. He also pleaded guilty for drug possession after being found by police during a raid of a Noble Park house of a suspected drug trafficker in October.

He later told police he had no idea about a small quantity of ‘ice’ found in a packet of cigarettes in his jacket, though he correctly identified the drug.

His lawyer conceded the man didn’t receive a positive report for failing to complete the corrections order imposed in February 2016.

The man claimed to have stopped using drugs from September without engaging in formal treatment as part of his order.

Magistrate Pauline Spencer noted the man had been charged with possessing methamphetamine in a raided house a month later.

“I’m finding this rather incredu-

lous, I must say,” Ms Spencer said.

She said much of the man’s version of events “doesn’t make a lot of sense”, but if it was, he should be able to complete a new corrections order.

The other version was that the man was still struggling with a drug addiction, had not been engaging in treatment and had not attended court.

“I don’t need to know the answer to that,” Ms Spencer said.

“I don’t have a drug screening (for you). Everyone says they’re not using drugs when they’re in custody.

‘It’s up to you how you play it from here on in.”

The man was fined $1000 and reinstated on a 12-month community corrections order with 160 hours of unpaid work, drug treatment and rehabilitation.

His licence was suspended for three months.

Schools in all-inclusive learning program

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Fountain Gate Primary School in Narre Warren is one of 18 schools to receive funding from the State Government to support students with disabilities and special needs.

The school will receive funding form the government’s Inclusive Schools Fund to construct an outdoor sensory learning area that will allow differently abled students to get the most from their education.

Fountain Gate Primary School Principal Jennifer Duggan said the outdoor learning space would allow students in learn in a way

that worked for them.

“The outdoor area will incorporate water, sand, a stage, outdoor gardening spaces, science and tech activities, and all the outdoor stuff that is too big or messy for inside,” she said.

“Students will be able to work inside and outside in a self-directed way.”

Ms Duggan said the new learning area would be great for the school overall as well as the special needs students.

“We are really excited about it and are looking forward to seeing it up and operating by end of the year.”

The new learning area will be great for all students including Hadiya, Novak, Cienna and Zahra at the back and Peter, Farhad, Jenny Duggan and Hershi on the front.

Six months for drugs, guns

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man found sleeping in his car with drugs, guns and a tomahawk axe in Fountain Gate shopping centre’s underground car park has been jailed for six months.

Anthony Tay, 36, was wanted on five warrants when he was discovered by police about 2.50am on 6 January, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard.

In his car was found the small axe and five blue pills as well as a fold-up knife, five shot-gun cartridges and two firearms.

Tay later told police he had the tomahawk for his protection but didn’t know of the fold-up knife hidden behind the car’s sun visor.

One of the guns was home-made by an unnamed friend. Tay told police he intended to try out the firearm.

Tay had also been arrested at Keysborough Hotel car park with a block of heroin in his bag in the early hours of 23 February 2016.

He told police he’d bought the substance for $800 that night, and injected it in his neck.

On 24 October, Tay was found with 0.1 grams of heroin by police raiding a Dandenong home.

Tay told police he’d bought the drug after “missing” his methadone. The heroin would tie him over rather than risking a significant relapse, his lawyer told the court.

“I’m not saying it’s a responsible decision,” the lawyer said.

“It can be differentiated from a client turning a bender.”

A defence lawyer said Tay’s offending was in context of a long-standing heroin addiction for the past 20 years.

Tay had been on a methadone program for the past decade. He had been most recently living in his car after losing his job and relapsing, the lawyer said.

His lawyer submitted for a corrections order rather than a drug treatment order at Dandenong Drug Court. The more onerous DTO would set Tay up to fail, the lawyer said.

Magistrate Pauline Spencer noted even a drug treatment order wasn’t enough to hold Tay in the past.

She said Tay didn’t establish the “exceptional circumstances” to prevent the invoking of his sixmonth suspended sentence.

His six months’ jail will be followed by a sixmonth treatment-based corrections order with judicial monitoring.

Powerplant’s growth surge

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Greg Plant and John Kelso plan to continue Powerplant's impressive surge. 165449 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Hallam electrical contractor Powerplant Project Services’ prolific growth surge continues with the installation of its inaugural chief executive.

In a major coup, former AusNet national services manager John Kelso has been appointed to lead the flourishing Princes Highway company.

Mr Kelso, with 38 years in the utility sector, said he was attracted to Powerplant by its culture and the fact that it was “going somewhere”.

Powerplant is in the early stages of “asset relocation and lighting design” for the Thompsons Road upgrade - having also won the contract to

design lighting for the M1 widening project.

After the project, the company would have designed lighting for the freeway between Pakenham and Tullamarine - excepting the city tunnels.

Other projects include street lighting and asset relocation for the Mernda rail extension and highway upgrade in Traralgon, as well as new residential estates and suburbs across the state.

Powerplant’s staff has grown sixfold to more than 50 in the past five years. Last year, it added more than 600 projects.

Mr Kelso said Powerplant was part of a growth area - providing infrastructure and services for utilities - at a time when utilities were downsizing and outsourcing.

“It’s an exciting time to come to the business,” Mr Kelso said.

“We’re looking also at how to bring in new local talent, such as through traineeships, as a way of regenerating and building up new skills.

“Success is driven by having the right people and having the right culture.”

Mr Kelso pointed to renewable solutions as a possible new frontier.

“Where I came from (in the utilities sector), they were doing quite a bit in trialling the renewables space.

“We’re working hard to take these new technologies and to add those to the intelligent infrastructure solutions we give our clients.”

Director Greg Plant used to work for Mr Kelso 25 years ago.

He said the new chief executive shared the company’s enthusiasm for grabbing new opportunities, and brought extensive leadership, credibility and detailed knowledge.

“We’re looking to develop the business to best serve those infrastructure needs in this (south-east Melbourne) region and across the state.

“We’re also considering new opportunities interstate.

“But despite this fantastic growth, we don’t lose sight of what’s important to people in this area.”

Police found a samurai sword in a stolen car following several collisions in Dandenong.

Greater Dandenong CIU Senior Constable Riley Wesley said the Honda CRV was travelling west on Heatherton Road about 8.40pm on Sunday 12 March.

Police said the vehicle then lost control and collided with another vehicle and trailer, and then travelled another 180 meters before colliding with a traffic light.

Sen Const Wesley said that emergency services had to free a 28-year-old Narre Warren man from the Honda and found a samurai sword behind the driver’s seat.

Police said the man appeared to be drug-affected.

He was taken to Dandenong Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

By Victoria Stone-Meadows There was a dramatic scuffle at a Milk Bar in Hampton Park on Saturday 18 March when masked bandits robbed a store on Coral Drive and assaulted two people.

Police have been told five people all wearing masks and dressed in dark clothing entered the store, about 8pm.

Two of the men jumped the counter and assaulted the 33-year-old female shop attendant and forced her to the ground while another male stole cigarettes and cash from the till as a female accomplice kept watch.

The 45-year-old partner of the shop attendant tussled with a fifth crook, who was armed with a knife, at the front of the store The 45-year-old managed to push the robber out the front door and through an adjoining shop window.

The shop attendant was assessed at the scene for minor injuries but her partner was taken to hospital for assessment and treatment of his injuries.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or with further information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

FACEY REAL ESTATE MARKS 100 YEARS Frances Angus Facey (1909-1984) A total of 100 years in any business is a milestone but in the ever-changing world of real estate, the achievement is rare.

Last month we started our series on the 100 successful years of Frank Facey Real Estate and this month we focus on the next chapter in the history of this influential company.

Frank Facey’s inspired decision to purchase his first real estate business in 1917 paved the way for the following generations of his family.

The subsequent expansion of his original company now incorporates businesses in Dandenong, Mulgrave, Endeavour Hills, Berwick, Narre Warren and Pakenham.

It was during the challenging days of the 1930s that Frank’s son, Francis Angus Facey, decided to join his father’s business. Together they formed a formidable team.

Angus and his wife Adele were early pioneers in the Dandenong and Berwick area.

They both earned the respect and admiration of their peers for their tireless community work throughout the region.

By now, Frank’s predictions for growth in the South East were being realised and much of the area’s development was successfully transacted through the Frank Facey Real Estate business.

Angus followed his father’s lead and became a Fellow of the Real Estate Institute of Valuers in 1936.

In 1956 Frank Facey’s Real Estate and Business Agency built a new, modern office at 254 Lonsdale Street Dandenong, where First National Hall and Partners still reside to this day. Dandenong had prospered since the days of his father’s carriage building company and was now the major centre for commerce and industry in the South East.

Angus shared his father’s bold ambition

experiencing remarkable popularity.

Frank and Angus ensured that the original values and ethics by which they worked would remain integral to the developing business which today includes: First National Hall and Partners, First National Neilson Partners, Parklea and Facey Industrial-Commercial.

Angus’s son Andrew Facey joined the now thriving business in 1968.

We follow his story next time.

and insight into the future development of the region and he purchased a 65-acre property at Narre Warren.

In 1984 that property became one of the area’s first subdivisions, Franleigh Park Estate. A public reserve was named in his honour: The Angus Facey Reserve.

Frank Facey and his son Angus were at the helm when Dandenong and the surrounding districts grew from broad pastoral farmlands into the vibrant towns and cities that are to this day still

Big moves at Berwick Toyota

By Sam Freer Hi, I am Sam Freer, the general manager of Berwick Toyota.

This year has certainly started with a bang for Berwick Toyota with the business moving into a new state-of-the-art lifestyle dealership which is one of a kind.

We are very proud of our new home, and welcome the community to come and visit the showroom and let us show you around.

Everyone is more than welcome to come and enjoy the new showroom with myself and the Berwick Toyota staff.

The Harris Freer Hardwick Group (HFH Auto Group) launched in Berwick over 20 years ago and since then our family-owned business has expanded to include many brands and sites in the Berwick and Pakenham areas.

My team understands purchasing and owning a vehicle is a unique and important experience for our guests.

And it is our focus to improve on every facet of that ownership experience, be it from initially making contact with us to inquire about a new purchase, or visiting us to have your vehicle serviced - we are working every day to be better at what we do.

We are committed to the Toyota brand, holding the full vehicle range - this means that

when you come into our dealership, you will be able to view and test-drive any Toyota that interests you.

We also stock a huge range of pre-owned vehicles, all located in our sensational new indoor showroom, with capacity to showcase over 70 vehicles at any one time.

When it comes to our guests, Berwick Toyota understands that the level of service they receive from the moment they walk in the door is key to their entire experience with our dealership.

We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with our guests, and the only way to do this is by delivering a superior level of service through every facet of our business.

The big build The much-anticipated redeveloped St John of God Berwick Hospital is set to open its doors in late 2017.

The seven-storey building of a two-level underground carpark and five-level hospital services is located on Kangan Drive, Berwick, and is highly visible from many vantage points around the Casey region.

St John of God CEO Lisa Norman said this visibility had led to many inquiries and questions from the community about the hospital.

In answer to some of the most frequently asked questions, she said the new hospital would offer all of the services currently offered at the Gibb Street hospital, as well as new services.

There will be 202 beds, an intensive care unit, eight operating theatres, a cardiac and vascular catheter laboratory, cardiac unit, six birthing suites, a six cot special care nursery and 350 basement car parks.

Ms Norman said the current Gibb Street hospital would operate as usual during construction.

“We will relocate all services currently located at Gibb Street to the new hospital in Kangan Drive,” she said.

“The Gibb Street facility will temporarily close whilst it undergoes a redevelopment of its own and will be transformed into a rehabilitation hospital that will open in mid-2018.

“Our consulting suites and

St John of God’s new hospital in Kangan Drive is taking shape. pathology laboratory will be relocated to the new hospital.

This creates an opportunity for new services in this facility.”

Ms Norman said parking prices would be similar to the Casey Hospital car parking fees and there would be no emergency department at the new hospital when it opened.

“There will be no ED in this stage. Future planning has considered the addition of an ED at the Kangan Drive Hospital,” she said.

Ms Norman said there would be plenty of opportunities for employment at St John of God with a recruitment campaign

beginning in mid-2017.

Interested parties are able to register on the hospital website by visiting www.sjog.org.au/ berwickcareers.

Registering will allow people to receive updates and notifications of roles as they are advertised.

For further information on the redevelopment of the St John of God Berwick Hospital, visit www.sjog.org.au/berwickredevelopment, email info.berwick@sjog.org.au or follow St John of God Berwick Hospital on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news, developments and photos from the site.

Have you seen our new hospital?

Feet and legs are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most people’s daily activities, so it’s no wonder most people suffer foot, knee or leg pain at some point in their lives.

But what can be done about it?

The experts at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics have highlighted some common foot and leg concerns.

- Foot, heel, ankle, knee and hip pain, injury and arthritis are often misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, so it’s important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist.

- Bad foot posture can continually pull the body out of alignment, which can contribute to undue stress on other joints and tissues.

- Traditional treatments such as cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies have been found to delay healing and cause further tissue damage in many cases, so it’s important to get accurate advice from someone who particularly specialises in foot and leg concerns.

- Thanks to the latest research and treatments, there are now effective, natural medical options such as prolotherapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma)

Dr Paul Dowie is an expert in feet and legs. to help heal injuries and assist degenerative conditions such as arthritis.

“By combining regenerative treatments with a sound knowledge of musculoskeletal medicine, biomechanics and load management strategies we can assist stresses through joints and tissues, aid or eradicate pain, increase mobility, repair injuries and regenerate tissues -

safely and naturally,” said Foot and Leg Pain Clinics doctor Paul Dowie.

Dr Dowie, who is one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatrists and foot and leg pain experts, is available for appointments at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, Berwick, by calling 1300 328 300.

The focus of the clinic is to bring the latest and best advances in clinical orthodontics including braces to the CaseyCardinia community.

Farm World

A family affair Farming is a family business in the truest sense of the word and this is exactly what so many farming families love about it.

So it makes sense that Farm World is an event that caters to the whole family.

Farm World offers such a fun-filled family day out that even non-farming families would love it. And it’s easy to see why, from endless large machinery exhibits to working dog demonstrations and horse riding events, there is so much for the kids to experience.

They even have the opportunity to have a first-hand experience with the animals with the ever-popular Lion Dairy animal nursery and pony rides.

The Lion Dairy animal nursery and picnic area has action all day with talks from volunteers, petting and engaging with the animals and the fabulous Animals of Oz daily show.

In addition to family activities throughout the event, this year Farm World will launch the AgriKidz program. This innovative program focuses on school-aged children from local and peri-urban regions. Over the year, AgriKidz will share information to teach about where foods actually come from and how to grow healthy food at home, farm safety, machinery demonstrations, livestock engagement and much more.

They’ll learn about the full lifecycle of their produce - from

Children have the chance to interact with baby animals at Farm World.

Top chef Alejandro Saravia will cook at Farm World. the farm through to what happens behind the supermarket shelf, and on to composting and recycling. The AgriKidz program also includes a colouring competition with some fabulous prizes available.

In 2012, Farm World introduced the Women in Agriculture Luncheon program celebrating women in rural and regional Australia. This year’s luncheon, presented by Telstra, will be held on Thursday 30 March, and will feature two guest speakers.

Rebel Black launched her first business at age 22, and has spent the past 16 years creating award-winning businesses, while leading development in women’s empowerment, community, tourism, education, business and social, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Emma Germano, a lo-

cal Gippslander from Mirboo North, boasts a Nuffield Scholarship, international relations studies, a restaurant venture and business strategy consulting under her belt. Emma works as the business development and operations manager on the family farm Germano Produce, which supplies cauliflower, cabbage and potato crops to the fresh market.

The new event is sure to entertain and inform crowds this year on the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF. Consisting of timed milking challenges (1 teat, 1 hand, 1 minute, most milk) between local community-leaders, media, and politicians, along with commercial dairy farming education and presentations, the event will be interspersed with engaging panel discussions and theatrics with patrons between the three daily milk-off competitions.

Food for thought and fibre fest On Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 April, the Lardner Park Conference Centre will be converted into a Food and Fibre Fiesta showcasing produce, products and information sessions in inspiring ways.

The Food and Fibre Fiesta promises a festive ambience of exhibitor sales, demonstrations and workshops running free-ofcharge throughout the weekend.

The program of demonstrations and workshops will run throughout the day so visitors can stop and listen as they wish.

Visitors can learn the wonder of simple, hand-made food with a pasta making demonstration by local identity Leigh Marino from The Big Spoon Group and a bread and cheese making demonstration from inspira-

tional entrepreneur, author and advisor Rebel Black.

Then they can watch as acclaimed Peruvian-born chef Alejandro Saravia from Pastuso restaurant in Melbourne inspires the crowd, bringing the strong flavours and variety of Peruvian cuisine to life in his two beef cooking demonstrations on the Saturday.

And, of course, these days a good meal does not exist until it’s shared on social media!

Michelle Cann from String and Salt will be on hand to teach the tricks behind taking mouth-watering sharable food images on an iPhone.

Julie Weatherhead from Peppermint Ridge will hold a demonstration showcasing the

flavour and diversity of Australian native foods, and Doterra Essential Oils will illustrate how cooking with essential oils can harness the power of nature to revolutionise the way many families are managing their health.

The Food and Fibre Fiesta will be decorated with bountiful produce from the Baw Baw Food Hub, East Gippsland Food Cluster, Tarago Cheese, Ripplebrook Winery and many more.

Those who have a passion for growing their very own fresh produce should be sure not to miss the comprehensive home composting presentation.

Stop by the Farm World Café in the centre for a snack and some great coffee, or a cool drink.

Invincibles lock horns

By David Nagel Coach Michael ‘Jock’ Holland and his army of South East Football Netball League invincibles will take their unbeaten representative run to the Holden Centre to take on the Hampden League on Saturday 13 May. SEFNL will head to Collingwood’s training and administration centre being just the second league in the state to have triumphed in all five contests since an interleague restructure in 2012, joining the number one ranked Geelong with a perfect record.

Holland agreed that the SEFNL’s recent unbeaten run may have played a role in the decision to play the game in the heart of Melbourne’s sporting precinct.

“You would like to think so,” he said.

“You don’t win five of these games in a row without a lot of commitment from a lot of people, and hopefully this is reward for the effort that the league has put in. We’re taking on the bigger leagues now, so we’ll need to bring our A grade game to the contest, there’s no doubt about that.”

Holland will stick to a tried and trusted plan as he prepares for the big clash.

“Some blokes obviously pick themselves, but I’ll sneak around and have a look over the first few weeks of the season and come up with a squad that we think can get the job done,” he said.

“We’d love to give a few young blokes a go as well, so it’s shaping up as a pretty strong squad.”

SEFNL will look to continue its great run when it takes on Jonathan Brown and the Hampden League at the Picture: DAVID NAGEL Holden Centre. 154563 The interleague legend said it was exciting times for representative football and an added boost to the contest, with Hampden to be coached by former Brisbane champion Jonathon Brown.

“It’s really exciting and a great opportunity for country and suburban footballers to test their abilities against quality opposition on a big stage,” he said.

“Obviously, there was already a

degree of spotlight on the contest with Jonathan Brown coaching Hampden, and this just adds that little bit more to the contest.”

AFL Victoria has also announced the top-ranked WorkSafe AFL Victo-

ria Community Championships match between Geelong and the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League will be played on the hallowed turf of the MCG. The match will be played as a curtain-raiser to the Round 8 dedicated AFL Country Game between Essendon and Geelong.

AFL Victoria Community Football Operations manager Gerard Ryan said this was a fantastic opportunity for local players to experience playing football at elite AFL facilities.

“We are delighted to provide some of community football’s best senior players with the chance to run out and showcase their skills in front of big crowds in the heart of Melbourne’s sporting precinct,” Ryan said.

“The AFL Country Game is a great platform to highlight the importance of regional Victoria and for city and country football fans to come together and celebrate country football.

“The 2017 WorkSafe AFL Victoria Community Championships promises to be another exciting initiative within community football and the opportunity to participate in senior representative programs continues to be a highlight for footballers in grassroots community competitions across the state.”

In its second year, the WorkSafe AFL Victoria Community Championship will see 32 country and metropolitan leagues don their representative colours and battle it out in venues right across Victoria.

Ashley chases state title at just 15 years Hunt is on for players

By David Nagel

It is remarkable to think that at just 15 years of age Ashley Chandrasinghe will be chasing his second national title when he lines up for Victoria in Brisbane next week.

The Narre Warren South lefthander has been chosen to represent his state at the School Sports Australia 15 and Under Cricket Championships - taking on the best from around the country in the hunt for the Ricky Ponting Cup. But for Ashley - he won’t be overly anxious because he’s been there and done it all before.

He was first selected for Victoria as a 10-year-old cricket prodigy, travelling to South Australia for the Under 12 Championships in December 2012.

By that stage of his fledgling career, he had already captained a Dandenong and District Cricket Association (DDCA) representative side after successfully modelling his style on fellow left-handers Mike Hussey and Kumar Sangakkara.

“I just like to watch how they play and what they do at the crease,” Ashley said.

“Just like them, I like to graft early, occupy the crease, but if the bad ball is there you need to deal with it.”

Ashley Chandrasinghe is chasing his second national title…and Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS he’s just turned 15. 166116 Ashley showed promising signs in that first carnival, scoring a match-winning 16 not out under enormous pressure against the Northern Territory.

But it was at his second carnival in Bendigo in January 2014 where he really made his mark.

He batted three times, with scores of 39 (Northern Territory),

57 not out (South Australia) and 29 (New South Wales) helping the Vics to become Under 12 champions.

“I still get nervous, but I guess I’ve had the opportunity to learn a few things from those previous championships and hopefully that will give me an advantage in Brisbane,” he said.

Ashley will head into the cham-

pionships primed for a big performance after a solid and very busy season of cricket.

He plays for Buckley Ridges in the DDCA junior competition, taking on his first club Berwick Springs in the weekend’s Under 17 (1) grand final.

He had made 411 runs at an average of 82.2 heading into the season decider despite still being eligible for the Under 15s.

He also plies his trade for Vic Premier club Casey-South Melbourne, opening the batting in the very competitive third’s competition.

“Playing premier cricket has been a great learning experience, just preparing with that level of cricketers has really helped with my attitude to the game,” he said.

“I have big ambitions but none of those will matter if I don’t keep working hard and trying my best in every training session and every game I play in. I’ll just keep working hard and see where it takes me.”

Ashley wanted to thank God for everything He has given him, his parents Ajith and Hashanthi and his sister Jessica for their support, batting coach Owen Mottau, CaseySouth Melbourne and every other club he has played for over his brief but exciting journey.

By David Nagel Pakenham Football Club is still on the hunt for players just 10 days out from its first game against Tooradin on Saturday 1 April.

A club that has won 30 premierships in a history that dates back 125 years is struggling to come to terms with an exodus of players during the off-season. The Lions lost depth and experience with the loss of Jason Fisher, Aaron Gray, Jarrod Tonks, Jason Williams and Anthony Young to Bunyip, Jack Anning, Daniel and Nathan Fry and Cory Lenders to Longwarry, while others have departed Toomuc Reserve in the hunt for greener pastures or bigger pay cheques.

Luke Walker (Kooweerup), Beau Wheeler (Wangaratta), Kym Jones (Port Arlington), Ben Fraser (Kolora-Noorat), Brad and Jarrad Cavalot (East Burwood) and Alex Johnston (KorumburraBena) have left the fold, while talented half-back Troy Toussaint is currently looking to find his way to Tarwin in the Alberton League.

The Lions met with South East Football Netball League executives at their home ground last Thursday to convey their concerns with the new season just around the corner. The Lions, who have missed playing finals after finishing sixth the last two years, will be coached by Ash Green, who makes his return to Pakenham after many years in the Warragul region.

Any players interested in joining a proud history at the Lions’ Den can contact the club for more details.

Cobras down Hawks

By Nick Creely DDCA TURF 1-7 TURF 1 PRELIMINARY FINAL REVIEW A rampaging Heinz-Southern Districts has stunned Hallam-Kalora Park, booking themselves a grand final showdown with Mordialloc next week.

In a tight and torrid affair at Hallam Rec Reserve, Cobras’ skipper Matt Cox elected to bat - at a ground renowned for batting.

They started in solid fashion, putting on 31-runs for the first wicket, before Brad Downe (85) and the in-form Kaushyla Weeraratne (64) flayed the hosts in a dominant display.

The Hawks kept coming and fought back admirably, as Weeraratne and Downe eventually fell to some excellent bowling by Jordan Hammond and Jake Cutting.

Some late fireworks by star allrounder Michael Davies (41 not out) and keeper Brodie Yapp (20) lifted the Cobras to an imposing and potentially match-winning 7/267 off 90 overs.

Hammond (3/69) was the pick of the bowlers for the Hawks, while Cutting (2/24) and Leigh Booth (1/49) were strong supporting acts.

And the ladder-leading Hawks looked to be cruising early on day two when Ben Hillard and Leigh Booth skipped out to 0/86.

But it was Weeraratne (3/76) that stood tall for the Cobras, ripping the two openers apart before bowling Jagveer Hayer for a duck in the space of half-an-hour.

With the score evenly poised at

3/109, the Hawks rebuilt smartly through Hammond (47) and Corey Booth (54 not out), before another duo of wickets ensured the game would go down to the wire.

As the Cobras tightened up with their lines, scoring became a grind, and as the run-rate continued to drop dramatically, the chances of an upset brewing grew traction.

The equation became simple enough - 35 off just 18 balls.

But it was the Cobras who defended brilliantly, with the Hawks unable to find the boundaries.

The Hawks fell 18-runs short of victory, falling in straight sets after finishing on top-of-the-ladder at the end of the home and away season.

TURF 2-7 GRAND FINAL REVIEW A completely dominant St Mary’s side are the Turf 2 champions of 2016/17, crushing the Southern Pirates at Keysborough.

The Pirates struggled on day one, scratching their way to 158 after a few hiccups early, with gun bat Aditya Ganesh (39) showing terrific composure to steer the innings.

Junaid Kari (5/29) was the destroyer, doing what all good spinners do removing the tail.

And St Mary’s ended the day in dire trouble, losing three quick wickets to be 3/32 at stumps.

But Jake Needham (80 not out) blew the Pirates away in brutal fashion, winning the game off his own blade, and combining rock-solid defence with aggressive stroke-play.

Brad Downe struck a crucial 85 for the Cobras. 166202 The Saints finished on 5/162 off 70 overs to take the game, and will now show off their wares in the Turf 1 competition next season.

In the Turf 3 decider down at

Greaves Reserve, Buckley Ridges were far too good for Lynbrook, defeating the Lakers by five-wickets. Dingley took the crown as Turf 4 champions, defeating Berwick Springs, Berwick

Picture: ROB CAREW defeated St Brigid’s/St Louis in Turf 5, Aspendale smashed Dingley in Turf 6, while Cranbourne picked up their only turf flag of the year, defeating Doveton North in Turf 7.

DDCA TURF 1 GRAND FINAL PREVIEW HEINZ-SOUTHERN DISTRICTS v MORDIALLOC WHEN and WHERE: 25 and 26 March, Arch Brown Reserve, Berwick It was only two years ago that these two powerful clubs locked horns to decide the Turf 1 premiership.

On 14 and 15 March 2015, Mordialloc claimed their maiden premiership in the top-tier of the Dandenong District Cricket Association, dismantling HSD in utterly brutal fashion.

And on Saturday, the two clubs will reignite their rivalry, in the DDCA’s first stand-alone Turf 1 grand final.

With all other divisions done and dusted for 2016/17, the crowd is expected to stream into the Cave to witness history.

Both sides have equal rights to be there, and are at the peak of their game.

For the Bloodhounds, they have become the benchmark since after Christmas, while the Cobras continue to find a way to win.

In the semis, the Bloodhounds proved a class above a strong Hallam side away from home, with Dimith Mapa Ralage (95) and Chathura Athukorala (66) combining brilliantly in the middle order.

The Cobras took their wares to Park Oval to face Buckley Ridges, but were ultimately far too strong, with Kaushalya Weeraratne starring with

Kaushalya Weeraratne is the most important player for the Cobras. 164040 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS a glorious century.

Both sides possess equal amounts of talent with the ball, and it is part of the reason they have made it this far.

The key to winning this weekend is the ability to restrict scoring and build dot balls, the benchmark for any potential premier.

Premiership victories are built upon the little moments that often go unnoticed, and unlike regular season matches, team cohesiveness is by the far the most important aspect of the game.

LAST TIME THEY MET: In Round 9, the Bloodhounds were far too strong for the Cobras, with Leon Kennedy smashing his side to victory with a brutal 72. Chathura Athukorala and Ian Daniel were prolific as per usual with the ball, while Cobras’ skipper Matt

Cox was the lone hand in their batting innings, making 47.

KEY PLAYERS: Kaushalya Weeraratne has been quiet through stages of the regular season, but has truly lifted in his two finals to date.

In those games, he has scored 111 and 64, while also taking 2/20 and 3/76. For the Cobras to hold the trophy aloft, Weeraratne must fire.

For the Bloodhounds, Chathura Athukorala continues to dominate the competition, and has the ability to win a game for his team with either bat or ball. He is built for the finals moments, having played a major hand in their Turf 1 flag two years ago.

GAZETTE PREDICTION: Take it to the bank, this game will go down to the final 30 minutes on day two. Such is the closeness of both the teams, it is likely that the match will never truly be over until the last run is scored or the last wicket is taken. But Mordialloc’s form is hard to ignore, and should be confident of winning their second flag in three years.

Football codes join forces

By Russell Bennett The pride of Cranbourne in the two biggest football codes have come together as one to promote their clubs in the area.

The Cranbourne Football Club and Casey Comets have joined forces in a partnership to build community support of both clubs.

“It’s not a financial burden on the clubs - it’s more just about getting more people involved,” said Cranbourne Football Club president Shane Baker.

“It’s about supporting each other’s social media sites, events, things like that.

“We can share databases and all sorts of things down the track but this is the first year of it (the partnership) so we’ve kept this pretty simple so we can manage it.”

Casey president Dawn Stone

said it was important for people associated with both clubs to respect and appreciate both of the major football codes in the Cranbourne area.

“It doesn’t have to be one or the other - there’s no reason why people can’t appreciate both,” she said.

“By us supporting each other and coming together, people in Cranbourne are only going to benefit from it.

“There are times we’ll both be playing on Saturday afternoons, but where we can, let’s build up each other's audiences because we’re supporting sport in Cranbourne.

“I can see this getting bigger too.

“If we can go to the State Government united and the council can support us with that, then that can only be a good thing.”

Baker said it wasn’t about taking from one to give to the other.

“Players have made their choices about which codes they want to play, but if people can show some interest and a bit more support in both of our clubs, then we can both only benefit from it,” he said.

“We don’t feel threatened by any other sport - we are what we make of it.”

The Casey Comets will hold a season opening function prior to their first State League 1 match of 2017 against Mornington this Friday night from 7pm at the stadium on O’Toole’s Road in Cranbourne. Tickets are available for $35, which includes finger food, beer, wine, and soft drink. Bookings are essential. Email caseyevents@ outlook.com.

Footy’s a game for everyone, everywhere

By Russell Bennett The Casey Cobras Football Club has the ability to turn people’s lives around.

Its president and only ever coach, Gary Lambert, knows that better than anyone.

With the prospect of an AFL umpiring career ahead of him, his life was turned upside down in a 1992 car crash.

“It pretty much took my whole life away from me - I went through serious depression and that type of stuff, but it (the club) has helped me in my own mental self,” he said.

The club is testament to the statement that footy is truly a game for everyone - it doesn’t matter what your personal circumstances are or the hardships you’ve gone through.

The Cobras play in Victoria’s RecLink competition, which through its own motto is all about “rebuilding lives through sport and the arts”.

Many of the Cobras have been doing it tough, or still are.

The completion is designed for socially disadvantaged people, such as those with problems with alcohol or

substance abuse, mental illness, or who are homeless. Anyone can play.

What they need is people to get involved and keep this proud club afloat.

Players, support staff, coaches, committee members - the Cobras need the lot. It’s all hands on deck if they’re to continue changing lives for the better.

“I’ve been here since day one and I’ve got a good relationship with a lot of these guys,” Lambert said.

“They can ring me up at any time of night and they know that. If they’re struggling they can ring me and we’ll have a talk.

“I want to see these guys get better and succeed. They’ll use an excuse - saying they’ve got schizophrenia or bipolar - but I don’t care.

“I’ve got depression, and when I was really sick I thought about taking my own life as well. For me to go from the lowest point I was at to where I am now ... I’ve lived what they’re living.

I’ve experienced it.”

The Cobras are looking for both male and female players. The playing rules can be easily adjusted to allow

Robert Wadsworth, Gary Lambert, and Brad Ilic, front, are three of the leaders of the proud Casey Cobras Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Football Club. 166361 both to play alongside each other.

“We don’t discriminate against anybody - we’re here to help people, and for 17 years now I’ve been like a dad to a lot of these guys,” Lambert said.

The Cobras get results, too. They’ve

Cobras are ready to strike

By Russell Bennett Cora Lynn enters the first season of the West Gippsland Football Netball Competition as a threetime reigning premier, but as the first game of their new campaign fast approaches a whole new opportunity for the Cobras to prove themselves awaits.

“Our players feel fresh and they’re excited about what lies ahead - to drive down the coast and take on the challenge of five sides we haven’t earnt the respect of yet,” said player-coach David Main, who can’t wait to take to the field with his boys this Saturday night for the first game under the AFL Victoria banner this year to be played for premiership points.

Classy Demons look to next year

By Nick Creely AFL WOMEN'S LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 7 MELBOURNE v FREMANTLE A record-breaking performance from Melbourne ensured they finished their season on a high at Casey Fields on Saturday.

Up against the struggling Dockers, the Demons were dominant early, moving the ball slickly to set up an 18-point lead at the first-break.

With a grand final spot the motivation for the Dees, they didn’t take their foot off the pedal, slamming on another three goals in the second-term to take a commanding 39-point lead into half-time.

The Dockers then were held scoreless for the entirety of the second-half, as the dominant Demons ran around the ground virtually unattended.

They eventually ran out 54-point winners, an AFLW record, while also registering the

highest score of the season, 70.

Demons skipper Daisy Pearce ended her season with another best-on-ground performance, while regulars Karen Paxman, Alyssa Mifsud and Elise O’Dea were all important with their run-and-carry.

But Pearce, who racked up another 22 disposals for the Demons, was simply a class above, ensuring her team can finish on a high after a season marred by a slow start.

Demons coach Mick Stinear was proud of the performance from his team, citing the ability to play with the same intensity all game.

“All season we’ve wanted to play four quarters and the girls did that. They worked hard and they played their hearts out,” he said.

Unfortunately for the Demons, the Crows were able to book themselves a grand final spot the very next day after they thumped the Magpies by

24-points at Olympic Park Oval.

The Demons now finish third on the AFLW inaugural ladder.

Final to beat all finals

By Russell Bennett Who would have thought the sequel would be even better than the original?

Last year’s West Gippsland Cricket Association Premier division grand final between Pakenham and Kooweerup at Toomuc Reserve was one for the ages, but on the weekend the two sides produced a rematch that could barely be believed even by those who were lucky enough to be at Denhams Road to witness it.

From the first ball of Saturday’s play, to the fall of the last wicket late on Sunday afternoon there was pure, unrelenting pressure from both sides.

It magnified mistakes, and made each momentum swing seem irreversible.

Ultimately, a combined 20 wickets were taken across the two days for just 221 runs.

As the Demons warmed up prior to play on Saturday, it all seemed to be business as usual - round 16 of their season, they were calling it.

But it was just the calm before the storm.

Mark Cooper won the toss and elected to bat and shortly after, in the rooms, he brought his men together before the pre-game ceremony began.

They stood as one, behind them signs that read: “No regrets” and “It’s not what the club can do for you, but what you can do for the club”.

These signs were nothing new, but they befitted the same teamfirst mentality the Demons had carried with them all season.

It’s a mentality they’d have to rely on more than ever over the next two days.

Disaster struck early in their innings with Cooper - Premier’s leading run-scorer - run out from

a brilliant piece of fielding by Zac Chaplin off a Chris O’Hara drive.

This set the tone for what was to come from Pakenham - an entire day of relentless pressure in the field.

The Demons were ultimately rolled for just 113 in 72 overs with O’Hara playing the crucial anchor role - batting as if his life depended on it for 44.

Spinner Jason Williams was just unbelievable with the ball for Pakenham. Incredibly disciplined, he finished with 4/36 from 20 overs.

But day one had another remarkable chapter left to play out.

Having to face five overs before stumps, the Lions slid to 4/12 with champion batsman Chris Smith already back in the sheds.

Another intense arm wrestle played out throughout day two as the Lions tried to claw their way to victory. Williams (29) and Rob Elston (33 not out) put on a 45-run stand in the middle order to take their side from 6/44 to 7/89 and within sight of a famous win, but there was yet another sting in the tail to come. The final two wickets were ultimately taken by Kooweerup’s most proven big game performer - O’Hara - who snared 2/10 from 11 overs as the Lions were dismissed for 108.

Jess Mathers earned the Lex Duff Medal as the player of the match with 5/50 from 25 overs.

Meanwhile, the boys from Clyde also had a weekend they’ll never forget - claiming both the District and Sub-District premierships with triumphs over Devon Meadows and Catani respectively.

The Cougars will field sides in the top two tiers of the competition next year, with their first XI taking the place of Pakenham UpperToomuc, which has slid back to District.

Jason Williams (Pakenham) and Jess Mathers (Kooweerup) were two of the stars of an incredible WGCA Premier grand final.

Rob Elston loomed as a potential match-winner for the Lions in a grand final for the ages.

Glory for coach Cooper, within Koowee of premiership

By Russell Bennett Mark Cooper has played a lot of first grade cricket at a number of different clubs, but he’d never played in a game quite like the one on the weekend where he led Kooweerup to a famous premiership win at home over Pakenham.

“I’ve never played in such a low scoring grand final,” he said.

“We played in one at Cranbourne in my first year as captain-coach and it was nearly a reverse outright after we won on the first innings, but nothing like that.

“It was bloody draining, but it was an unbelievable contest.”

A famous former rival of Kooweerup as the former leader of Cardinia, Cooper never quite imagined winning a premiership alongside the likes of Matt Davey, Chris O’Hara, and the Bright brothers and being part of their winning legacy.

“As a captain-coach I was always going to play at multiple clubs,” Cooper acknowledged.

“I was always a Cranbourne boy and growing up I thought I’d always stay that way ... but I’ve chopped and changed over time.

“You do have a lifespan as a coach - at some clubs it’s longer than others.

“The boys are really close-knit here and this isn’t just me coming in this year and winning the flag - it’s been over a long period of time that they’ve done this.

“Doley (Shane Dole) and Doofy (Michael Giles) have been fantastic as leaders here. “I’m just one of the cogs in the wheel.

“Tubsy (O’Hara) has probably asked the past eight years whether I’d come to Koowee.

“I always thought I’d go back to Cardinia

Former Kooweerup rival Mark Cooper played a key role in the Demons' premiership this season - leading from the front as he took them to glory. 166349 Picture: ROB CAREW but I still wanted to coach and this opportunity arose, and being only a minute and a half from the ground with my family and those sorts of things, life changes.

“It was the right time at the end of last season.”

Cooper acknowledged how humbled he felt to be interviewed by Davey and O’Hara for

the Kooweerup role.

“It’s been a great battle against those guys over the years, and now to be on the same side as them is really satisfying,” he said.

The Demons have become known for their rock-solid, stable core of stars but an injury to wicket keeper Chris Bright during the week threatened to throw a spanner in their grand final works.

How he handled it was testament to his character, and the Demons’ team-first culture as Cooper explains.

“Wombat hurt himself during the week at training on Tuesday - he bowled a ripper first ball and got me out with the next in the nets, and then he tore his side.

“He was in a lot of pain during the week. On Thursday he was a little bit better, but he did all the rehab and got himself up.

“He said to me on Friday that he’d step away if he was no good and couldn’t play his shots.”

Cooper was also full of praise for another side known for their team-first culture - Pakenham.

“Mitsu (Pakenham president Phil Anning) is a star - he’s a champion bloke, and Dom (Paynter) too,” he said.

“He’s a brilliant leader and I really enjoyed playing in the Country Week side with him, and Rob (Elston) is a great leader too. All of them are really good blokes and they’re part of a great club.

“I respect them hugely and have for a long time, and I know they respect us as well.”

Cooper has only enhanced his legacy as a cricketer this season, with an incredible campaign with both bat and ball a key reason behind the Demons’ premiership.

And he’s not going anywhere.

“I’ll play my career out here,” he said.

“Whether I coach or not moving forward, it doesn’t matter. I’ll still be here. This is my home.”
