to the new 358-hectare farm at Middle Tarwin, about 100 kilometres from their current farm.

“The move is a huge thing logistically but it will mean we are going to be able to consolidate some of our operations to less locations, have more focused transport and a better co-ordinated workforce,” Chris Schreurs said.

“We will be able to take a lot of the inefficiencies out of this farm and we won’t be surrounded by housing and

have to worry about 10,000 people living around the farm.”

While the bulk of the Schreurs’ business will be leaving the Casey area, the cousins at the helm of the farms will be sticking around for a while yet.

“I can’t speak for the other cousins regarding any long-term relocations but I know I will be doing a bit of travelling and as I still have young kids at school here it won’t be goodbye just yet.”

occupies was zoned as an urban growth area in late 2015 by the Victorian Planning Authority, causing a change to the amount the business pays in rates to Casey Council.

“Since then rates have gone up and income doesn’t, it has become economically unviable to farm here,” Chris Schreurs said.

The cousins have begun implementing a five-year plan to migrate the farming operations away from Clyde

Since then the family has made a name for itself in vegetable production focusing on celery, leeks, spinach, snowpea tendrils, rocket, and baby leaf salad mixes.

Cousins Chris, Adam, and Ben Schreurs took over operations of the farm in 2013 but the older generations of the farming dynasty retained ownership of the land.

Clyde farming stalwarts Schreurs and Sons have confirmed they will be moving their base of operations away from the City of Casey to new fields in South Gippsland.

One third of the team of cousins that run the vegetable farm from their current location on Twyford Road in Clyde North said the booming domestic property market in Casey had made their farm unviable.

“The re-zoning of the land from agricultural to urban use forced us to re-think where we should grow and develop our business,” Chris Schreurs said.

“One of the big drivers behind the move is that farming next to houses isn’t ideal, considering all the people around your farm.”

Mr Schreurs also said the increase in population and traffic in the areas of Casey and Cardinia where the business had farm land had made transport logistics more costly and difficult to manage.

“We have seen a noticeable difference over the last couple of years with our various farm locations,” he said.

“A trip between farms that used to take five minutes can take up to half an hour and those important efficiencies of running the business get more and more difficult.”

The Schreurs and Sons farms across Melbourne’s South East employ about 150 people and Chris Schreurs said the move would cause minimal job losses.

“The jobs will still be there,” he said.

“Some of the jobs will need to relocate but they will still be there and we will still have the Fisheries Road site to operate on, plus the other farms outside of Casey.”

The Schreurs family has been farming in the South East area for generations - the current business owner's grandparents Joe and Johanna Sch-

Operation Bounce Back to tackle vehicle thet in Casey

The City of Casey has teamed up with the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVTRC) and Victoria Police on a campaign aimed at driving down motor vehicle theft in Casey.

Meeting four times in March, the People’s Panel were given a crash course on Council operations and heard from a panel of experts before deliberating on the big challenge Council faces – how to address the long-term challenge of funding what Council believes it TIPVME CF EFMJWFSJOH UP GVMmM UIF DPNNVOJUZ T WJTJPO BOE XIBU JU DBO afford to deliver.

Operation Bounce Back aims to educate the community in protecting themselves from motor vehicle theft.

The panel decided on 24 recommendations which they’ve presented to Council, and they will now be used to shape the Draft 2017-21 Council Plan and 2017-18 Draft Budget.

It’s important to remember that car security begins at home, and the easiest way to avoid becoming a victim of motor vehicle theft is to reduce the opportunity for offenders.

Thieves often target homes to steal car keys of secure vehicles; enhancing your home’s security is one way to prevent that occurring as well as safeguarding your vehicle’s keys - they are worth as much as the value of your car.

Cut council services plea gether to try and tackle the many challenges we face as a community.”

Brendan Browne, of the Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association, said some of the cost-cutting recommendations should be taken with a “grain of salt” due to “an element of push-polling” by the council.

“Participants were repeatedly told of the $180 million shortfall that is supposed to befall council in 11 years’ time, despite the fact that this figure is based on highly unreliable assumptions.

“It’s not surprising that the People’s Panel findings expressed a willingness to accept reduced services and increased fees, when participants are led to believe the council is facing a financial disaster with no other solution.”

The CRRA was particularly supportive of panellists’ call for more council transparency, Mr Browne said.

He said charging more for nonessential services could be a false economy.

“If you increase charges at Casey RACE swimming pool, it may reduce the number of customers and actually cost the council money.”

The panellists, selected from a pool of 6000 invitees across a range of demographics and Casey suburbs, met four times in March to form their recommendations.

They were briefed by Casey Council about its budget challenges, including the constraint of rate-capping.

They received talks from Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association member Brendan Browne as well as urban futurist Stephen Yarwood, who talked about aiming for a ‘small council, big community’ model.

The panel was complemented by a ‘budget allocator’, which received 172 community submissions.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A people's panel of 54 residents has given a strong message to Casey Council - don’t increase rates.

Among the panel’s 24 recommendations, there was instead a willingness to cut council services, according to a report tabled on 18 April.

Panellists also recommended higher fees for “non-essential” services and developer contributions.

The panel advised Casey to shut down services duplicated by other agencies and industries, to explore more outsourcing and to do an efficiency-review of all services.

Other People’s Panel recommendations included: Cutting labour costs by partnering with employment and volunteer programs; Improving opportunities for local business to win council tenders; Reviewing hard waste collections - such as cutting to one free collection a year or providing vouchers to dump at the tip; Live-streaming council meetings, and seeking more community feedback on major decisions and Exploring a “big employment and education attractor” to Casey.

Casey Council Mayor Sam Aziz said the People’s Panel recommendations were “outstanding” and validated the council’s efforts to better respond to residents’ needs.

The findings were being incorporated into Casey’s draft 2017-21 Council Plan, Cr Aziz said.

“Everything from the budget to our capital works priorities will be driven by the priorities outlined by the panel.

“It’s incredible what we can achieve as a community when we sit down in the spirit of co-operation and work to-

Submitters most popularly requested more funding for new infrastructure, planning for the future, and children, youth and family services.

The highest priorities for cuts were communications and advocacy, the arts and planning regulation.

Peulich in the fight of her life

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Protesters hold placards against sitting MP Inga Peulich at a Liberal Party delegates' vote in Cranbourne on 22 April.

South-Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich is in a fight for her political life, with a four-way contest to keep her prized number two spot on the Liberal Party ticket for the 2018 state election.

The shadow cabinet member is being challenged by Casey councillor Damien Rosario, former Casey mayor and Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford as well as Mark Barrow in the pre-selection battle.

Sitting Liberal MP Gordon RichPhillips is unopposed on the number one spot on the ticket.

In the 2014 state election, two Liberal candidates (Mr Rich-Phillips and Ms Peulich), two ALP candidates Gavin Jennings and Adem Somyurek and Greens candidate Nina Springle were elected for the upper-house region.

It means that spots lower than number

delegates for the pre-selection.

Three protesters held placards against “bullying by MPs” and shared an exchange with Ms Peulich as she arrived to the meeting.

One of them was Judy Davis, a longtime Liberal member who says she quit the party because of “Inga”.

Ms Davis said she was troubled by Ms Peulich’s lack of support for fellow Liberal candidates Geoff Ablett and Amanda Stapledon during the 2014 state election.

In 2015, Cranbourne branch member Prasad Phillip made public allegations against Ms Peulich, which spilled into protests by Liberal members and legal action as well as into local, state and national newspapers.

Last year, Mr Phillip withdrew his allegations in an out-of-court settlement.

Ms Peulich has held the seat since 2006 after serving three terms as a state MP for the lower house seat of Bentleigh.

She is the opposition’s spokeswoman for multicultural affairs and scrutiny-ofgovernment.

She and the other pre-selection candidates are unable to comment ahead of the 9 May pre-selection vote due to Liberal Party rules.

Voters in the secret ballot include Opposition Leader Matthew Guy, Liberal Party executive members, state council members and electoral-conference delegates.

Turf club is taking a bow

By David Nagel Just taking a step back to soak in the history and tradition - that’s one of the key highlights for Cranbourne Turf Club CEO Neil Bainbridge after the club celebrated its 150th anniversary last week.

Almost 150 years to the day since the first race meeting on April 22, 1867, the club opened its doors for a race meeting run under lights on a Friday night.

Who would have thought!

Mr Bainbridge said researching for the event was an eye-opening experience.

“Sometimes we get carried away doing what we’re doing and we don’t take the time to brush up on the history and traditions of the things that are important to us,” Mr Bainbridge said.

“It was great to do some research and take a look at the significant contribution that the community has made to the club, and the club to the community. It’s mind-boggling to think how important this club has been to the City of Casey, in regards to the jobs it has created and the spirit it has garnered over 150 years.”

The community had also played an important part in the celebrations.

“The memorabilia display was tremendous,” Mr Bainbridge said.

“We had articles on display that were donated by members of the community and they created a lot of interest. To look back at the minutes of old committee meetings from 100 years ago, the race books, it was just an incredible and humbling experience.”

Mr Bainbridge said it was the people who made the turf club what it is today.

“I’ve been here for 11 years now and to take over from a person like Yvonne Blackwood, who served for 37

Dwayne Dunn pilots Font Magica to win race one, the ‘First Meeting 22 April 1867 Maiden Plate’. years and left the club in such a great position, is a great honour and one I still cherish today,” he said.

“Racing people like Robbie Griffiths, Doug Harrison and Ken Keys; they basically grew up at the track and can’t believe how much it has changed over the years. Back then they

were riding and training with no lights and now they have the best training facilities in Australia.”

The Cranbourne Turf Club is certainly not standing still with some massive plans for the future.

“The Cranbourne Turf Club is in-

credibly well placed, close to the main street of a thriving community,” Mr Bainbridge said.

“We’re working closely with Major Projects Victoria to continue to implement our masterplan which began in 2009. The end result is going to see an event and entertainment facility that is

going to be a pretty amazing asset for the wider community.

“We’ve also recently invested $6 million in the best on-course stabling in Australia and we’re about to invest another $7 million because the demand is so high. The club is in a pretty good position right now.”

Letters Avoiding the danger So after the reported (News - 20 April) unfortunate death of a bike rider recently, the solution is to drive slower and building bike lanes and trails.

As someone who both drives and until recently had a bike the obvious answer in part, is NOT to ride on main roads or roads where there is increased traffic. Pakenham is blessed with nice footpaths and tracks already, eg Toomuc Creek.

What arrant nonsense by the RPM person to make comparisons between Pakenham and Europe/Asia.

The tyranny of distance that we face here, the topography, the indifferent public transport and the need for commuting to and from work makes the car a necessity rather than a convenience for many. We are not a scaled-up version of Copenhagen/Stockholm etc. Talk about comparing apples with oranges.

The knee-jerk solution is to create bike

lanes which compound the problem by creating bottlenecks and increases congestion, nose to tail accidents and increased risk-taking behaviour including the now daily “road rage“ incidents.

Just have a look at the daily Monash Freeway debacle and streets where these so called “initiatives“ are in use in inner city suburbs. You may wish to review Monash safety figures too? The facts don’t necessarily reflect the warm and fuzzy rhetoric.

Why any person other than a MAMIL or MAWIL would want to ride on main roads which are in part funded to a much larger degree by motorists is beyond me and rather targeting them perhaps Sgt Ziebell should be concentrating on cyclists without helmets, crossing roads on the red, riding across roads on school/pedestrian crossings, unsupervised bike riding children in streets, bikes without lights/reflectors, tandem abreast riding and poorly maintained bikes with bald tyres to start with. Then Messrs Ziebell and Moonen you might wish to start on cyclist training too.

If you are serious about safety, stay away from the things that are going to hurt you - it's simple.

Charles Harris, Pakenham.

In response to a motion led by Mayor Aziz in Casey Council on 18 April.

While I fully support and advocate the removal of graffiti, I find the actions of council riddled with hypocrisy.

All Casey ratepayers will pay for signage in an effort to shame State Government representatives into action, signage attached with phone numbers and statements of responsibility.

Which leads me to the definition of hypocrisy - “the behaviour of people who do things that they tell other people not to do“.

Mayor Aziz, please explain.

Why did council give a real estate agent four hours on a wet Friday afternoon to remove a signage board ?

Why did council threaten legal prosecution on another private resident with a daily $750 fine for signage on his private property?

Why has council threatened a “covert operation“ on residents of Berwick Springs when they want to name and shame the fact that you as our ward councillor and Casey Council as a whole did not consult thousands of Berwick Springs residents as far back as 2014 on a proposal that will see nearly 200 trees cut down from our parklands and entry?

Why have you turned your back by refusing to answer emails and calls?

Why is it and I allege you have instructed your councillors not to attend public rallies held by residents or accept personal invites with residents to hear their concerns?

Why have you instructed Casey planners not to attend meetings when other councillors have tried to facilitate their own meetings, with or without you?

Why have several councillors personally called me and I allege apologised for your appalling behaviour, in their words ?

Where is your apology?

Why do you refuse to answer questions on record raised by residents in public question time at council meetings on several occasions?

Why do you refer to name calling of residents and admit it on record in council?

Cr Aziz as mayor of Casey and our ward councillor maybe Berwick Springs residents should display your number on their signs (funded by themselves not ratepayers) in an effort to display their feeling of betrayal on your council’s behalf.

Finally, why did you and your council vote on 21 February to protect the rights of a developer in “ fairness“ over the rights of 3000 residents who you have failed to consult to this very day - or advocate on their behalf in response to the mess your council was part of?

Michael Ball, Narre Warren South.

Don’t be cowed We are all diminished by the sudden and tragic death of police sergeant Ken Rich as reported in the Pakenham Officer News on 20 April.

We are diminished as we retreat from daring to ride our bikes on the roads around Pakenham; diminished as we curtail our desperate need for exercise and slink back indoors, and diminished as a community in not being

Our council has a strategy to develop pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure; a draft was published in January this year and council was seeking community responses.

The vision is grand, but realistic, yet the challenges faced by council will be very significant. It is not just about the money, but it is all about our community supporting council as it has to deal with the myriad of stakeholders who will say that it is all too hard and we do not need any of it.

It is time for all of us to realise that our roads do not need to be made significantly safer; we need more people driving more safely and we need dedicated paths for walkers and riders alike. We won’t improve our

Ray’s say

road accident rates by all staying at home cowered by the possibility of becoming a statistic. We won’t grow as individuals and community until we acknowledge our need to reflect on the past, look beyond the present and dream of a future that will allow the changes that are needed to become reality, if not for ourselves then definitely for our children.

I don’t ever remember meeting Ken, and in thinking of his grieving family, I wonder if there is any better way for any of us to honour him than in supporting council in turning the council’s vision into reality - dedicated paths for walkers and bike-riders throughout the whole shire.

Police call for witnesses

A former Cranbourne resident and ex-serviceman has called for changes to the way we remember and support our returned defence force personnel.

Sean Mulqueen grew up in Cranbourne and was sent on a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2010 where he was injured by an improvised explosive device.

Mr Mulqueen was in Afghanistan for seven months before he was returned home and found the transition back to civilian life to be a struggle.

“When I returned home I was at a bit of a loss; I suffered from my injuries that have left both physical and mental scars,” he said.

“As much as the system tried to help, it had a lot of gaps.”

It was through learning from his own experiences that Mr Mulqueen started dedicating his time to helping other returned service people find meaning in their lives again.

“I got involved with a couple of blokes call Brett and Rupert from Brisbane, and we put some initiatives together getting returned vets into work programs like painting and yard work and things like that.”

Mr Mulqueen has also been involved in numerous fund-raising and awareness raising events to help families who have lost members at war and help returned soldiers back to civilian life.

However, Mr Mulqueen would like to see the way Australian veterans are supported by government and community improved overall.

“While we are lucky we have process at all, it is outdated,” he said.

“The Department of Veterans Affairs is considering changes at the moment, but it needs to be done now because it’s already a bit late for the lot of the Afghanistan campaign.”

Police are asking a couple of good Samaritans who witn]essed an armed robbery in Cranbourne on Sunday 16 April to come forward and help identify the robber.

A 21-year-old man was having a cigarette outside Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre near the bus stop on Lyall Street at about 5pm on Sunday, when he was approached by another man with a knife.

The knifeman demanded the young man hand over his phone and wallet, but made off with some money instead.

He then ran from the scene towards Sladen Street and was last seen near a betting agency on High Street.

The victim described the thief as Caucasian in appearance with a small build and was wearing a grey top and blue cap.

Following the robbery, two or three other people went to victim to check he was unharmed and police are asking these people to come forward with any information they have about the incident.

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

Forgotten veterans

Sean Mulqueen said younger veterans such as himself often get forgotten when it comes to Anzac Day celebrations.

167631 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS Mr Mulqueen said through his experiences and the experiences of the other modern veterans he had worked with, there must be more support from the ADF and the government.

He also said organisations like the RSL and Legacy have a part to play in improving the lives of younger veterans and can begin with shifting some of the focus of days like Anzac Day.

“The most important part of the day is the dawn service because it pays respects ot the fallen of any campaign, but after that you can turn into the day,” he said.

“Dawn should never change but the RSL and other organisations need to recognise the struggles of younger vets, and there needs to be changes or they need to get more involved with contemporary vets.”

“The main thing we have learned is people should try to make it a fun environment; it is so sombre with so much sadness, but modern vets want to have the happiness we got out of it and remember the guys we lost.”

“We would feel more included with a happy celebration not just a sombre remembrance.”

Gap in cancer knowledge

By Victoria Stone-Meadows A knowledge gap in the way advanced breast cancer is diagnosed and treated is leading to death of younger women, according to Cranbourne North resident Tracey Ryan.

Ms Ryan was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in February 2010 and since then has spent her time working hard to raise awareness of how late stage cancers are treated differently to early stage cancers.

“We are the forgotten people,” she said.

“Everything about breast cancer is about early detection and that is great and for people to be cured, but for people with advanced cancer, we have been forgotten.”

Ms Ryan said she had spent thousands of dollars on her own treatment and large portions of her time were spent working with other people in her situation who needed support.

“There is not enough support for people like us unless you do it on your own,” she said.

Ms Ryan is also involved with a support network for young women diagnosed with breast cancer called Young Pink Sisters.

She says that concerns about breast cancer in younger women are often overlooked by medical professionals and not many people in the community are aware of the impact of late stage breast cancer.

Statistics released by the National Breast Cancer Foundation found that

59 per cent of people incorrectly believing or are not aware whether stage four can be successfully treated.

“This is happening to younger girls more, where doctors are palming them off or not taking young girls seriously,” Ms Ryan said.

“18 and 21-year-old girls are dying because doctors have said they are ‘too young’; women who have fallen pregnant and found a lump have doctors attributing that to the pregnancy.”

“What a lot of people don’t seem to grasp is there is no ‘category’ and anyone can get it, men get it.”

“Across the board, doctors have to pay more attention when women come in with a lump, they must take

it seriously.”

Ms Ryan and the Young Pink Sisters want to see a big shift in the way breast cancer is taught about in schools and the way patients are treated.

The group are calling more awareness around late stage breast cancer, teaching students how to check for lumps in sex education and better access to treatments and therapies once diagnosed.

“Most of all we want to be treated as people - there are no stats taken for late stage breast cancer,” Ms Ryan said.

“There are heaps for early stage but not any for late stage until you die - then you just become a form of death.”

Tracey Ryan of Cranbourne North wants to see better management and support for people with late stage breast cancer. 124433 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Farewell, legend

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Tooradin said goodbye to a local legend this month with the sad passing of Michael ‘Mick’ Riley, a giant of his community.

Mick was a passionate sportsman, loving husband and father and a pillar of the Tooradin community.

He moved to Tooradin in 1960 to play football for the Tooradin Football Club and cricket for the cricket club.

His love for sports and his passion for seeing his teams succeed lead to the natural conclusion of him being a member of the premiership teams of 1970 and '71, club president in 1978, and serving 21 years as club secretary.

He won the best clubman award too many times to count, and held a stack of other roles such as timekeeper, fund-raising organiser, head curator and many more.

In his eulogy at Mick’s funeral on 12 April, former president of Tooradin FC Derek Genoni said the club was held together by Mick’s hard work.

“This club would function without Mick being a part of it was never an option,” he said.

Mick’s hard work was rewarded with life memberships of Tooradin Football Club, Tooradin Cricket Club, and the West Gippsland and South West Gippsland Football leagues.

The community of Tooradin also benefitted from the hard work and dedication Mick Riley showed in all his endeavours.

During his time he coached the juniors in cricket, served on the recreation reserve committee, the Rutter Park Committee, the sports club board for many years, school council and the fire brigade, where he drove a truck on Ash Wednesday.

Mick’s son Tony Riley also spoke at his father’s funeral and recounted the fond memories he has of working and playing sport alongside his old man.

“He touched so many people through his time and I can honestly say that I never heard a bad thing said about him,” Tony said.

“He valued his friendships and always found a way to see the good in everyone. His smile was contagious; he was a gentleman and a loyal friend to many.”

“He leaves a huge legacy and a huge hole in our lives but I take solace from our last discussion; I told him he was a great dad and a great man and his simple understated response and the very last thing he said to me was: “I did my best, I think I did OK.” Michael ‘Mick’ Riley passed away surrounded by friends and family on Tuesday 4 April and the community said their farewells at the Bunurong Memorial Park on Wednesday 12 April.

Former Casey Council mayor Janet Halsall has almost reached her funding goal but needs Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS a little more help to get over the line. 167432

Former City of Casey mayor Janet Halsall has successfully completed a 200km walking tour of the municipality and raised almost $30,000 for the Cancer Council.

Ms Halsall stopped at community events and fund-raisers in more than 20 suburbs in the City of Casey during her 10-day walking tour.

“It was so good to catch up with community groups during the walk, and the visits were an absolute highlight,” she said.

“People talked to me about their cancer experiences and when the going got tough for me, thinking about their experiences helped me to keep going.”

While Ms Halsall said the support from across all the communities of Casey was out-

Ms Halsall’s husband who supported her through her journey.

The fund-raising goal for the Casey Walk for a Cure is $30,000 and at the end of the walk Ms Halsall has raised $28,500.

The small shortfall has not dampened her spirits and she has planned a final reception to mark the end of the walk and to reach the fund-raising goal.

“I’m lucky enough to have council hosting a finishing reception on Friday 28 April for all the supporters, organisers and sponsors,” she said.

“I am hoping some people might put in a little bit more then and perhaps reach the total.”

Anyone who wishes to donate to the cause can do so via Ms Halsall’s Facebook page by searching “Casey Walk for a Cure.”

standing, she was particularly impressed with the Easter she spent with a local Afghan community.

“I would particularly like to thank the members of the Afghan community who on Good Friday shared a traditional meal with me organised by Ishaq Sadath,” Ms Halsall said.

“They were so generous and supportive, and I was thrilled with their generosity and hospitality.”

“It was all about the cancer fund-raising and cancer research and about awareness raising which these sorts of interactions and conversations are so important for people with English as a second language.”

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Are you thinking about joining or starting a relay for life team to help raise funds for the Cancer Council, but don’t know where to start?

The Cranbourne-Narre Relay for Life is holding a launch night on 19 May and is inviting all established teams and any interested residents along to find out more about the event.

The launch will be far from a dry information evening and will include entertainment, food, door prizes, and interactive activities about the relay for life event.

Cranbourne-Narre Relay for Life volunteer committee member Brooke Hunter said the launch events were always informative but also a lot of fun.

“Every year our committee holds a launch event to inform teams of changes but we also hope teams will bring along people interested in joining,” she said.

“A lot of people have seen but not experienced the relay, so we make these launches fun and interactive and work as a team to bring new people in.”

Over the last five years, Cranbourne-Narre Relay for Life has raised $358,389 for cancer research and the 2017 fund-raising goal is set at $60,000 so the group is always looking for new participants.

“Invite your Relay for Life team and friends as the launch is guaranteed to be enjoyable and will ensure, together, we all will make Cranbourne-Narre 2017 Relay for Life a success,”

Ms Hunter said.

“Committee members will also be sharing their experiences with this terrible illness and encourage others to do the same in our supportive atmosphere, but this is by no means compulsory.”

The Cranbourne-Narre Relay for Life launch will be held on Friday 19 May at 7.30pm at the Casey Fields Athletics Track.

The 2017 Cranbourne-Narre Relay for Life fund-raising major event is scheduled for 18 and 19 November.

Interested people who cannot attend the launch event but would still like to join the Cranbourne-Narre Relay For Life event can call 1300 65 65 85 or visit www.relayforlife.org.au.

Crowds gather for a cool dawn

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Hundreds of people braved a cold and soggy morning in Cranbourne to pay their respects to past and present service people at Tuesday’s Anzac dawn service.

A sea of umbrellas, beanies, and coats washed over the entrance to the Cranbourne RSL on the morning of 25 April where people came together to remember those who gave service to Australia.

The Dandenong-Cranbourne RSL Sub-branch senior vice-president Bill Shepard gave a sombre and stirring speech to the gathered crowd in memory of the fallen.

A minute of silence was observed by all in attendance before the Australian and New Zealand national anthems rang out.

Cranbourne local Jesse John Stanley Cass, who just returned from 10 years of full-time service, said Anzac Day was very important for people like himself.

“It means more than you can really put into words,” he said.

Local community groups, Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon and local schools all laid wreaths as part of the service and honoured the service men and women of the Australian Defence Force.

The Lions Club of Cranbourne provided a free sausage sizzle to all at the conclusion of the service.

Many schools in the region also commemorated past and present Australian soldiers by having flag ceremonies, crafting wreaths and learning what Anzac Day was all about.

NUTS AND BOLTS OF BUYING PROPERTY Buying property can be an overwhelming experience! It doesn’t matter whether you want to buy established housing or house and land - buying property can be daunting if you don’t know where to start, and who to trust.

It is vital to get an understanding of what you can afford to borrow.

Every circumstance is unique and as the old saying goes - there is more than one way to skin a cat! What might not work in one situation, may work in another. The more information you can get on qualification the better - as well as all the costs associated with purchasing.

There are a few ways of ascertaining your borrowing capacity. Firstly, you can walk into a bank and ask to speak to their loan manager. The positive is that you are going straight to the bank, so they have a fair idea what they are talking about. The downside is going directly to a bank limits your options. Just like your circumstances, each lender is entirely different from the other in terms of the standards they set on borrowing requirements.

Unfortunately, going directly to the bank restricts your ability to test the market and get the best loan product that meets

your specific needs.

A mortgage broker can be another option in getting more information. The positive of mortgage brokers is that they aren’t tied to one lender - they have access to more lenders and are able to source competitive loans. Traditionally, mortgage brokers are affiliated with an aggregator (ie: Mortgage Choice, Aussie) meaning they will operate under a recognised brand name, but basically run their own operation.

Dealing with mortgage brokers affiliated to specific aggregators can also reduce your ability to test the lending market usually these aggregators have accreditation with only a certain number of lenders. The bigger the aggregator, the more lenders they can source loans through.

So where do you start? You can come and visit me - I would love the opportunity to assist, obligation free of course! But if it’s not me you see first, the next best option is to start with a mortgage broker.

For the reasons above, mortgage brokers have access to a greater distribution of lenders and their loan products.

They can also give you qualification on the spot. If you aren’t quite ready for a mortgage application, they can provide you with a solid plan to get you in a position where you will be able to meet the lending requirements of the major banks. Ask plenty of questions, expect good information and answers so that you can be educated on the requirements of applying for a mortgage.

THE latest in cutting-edge housing designs have proven a major drawcard at Berwick Waters, with scores of people turning out for the launch of the area’s biggest display village.

The flagship display village – the largest in the City of Casey – caught the imagination of families, couples and singles alike, who were able to view a kaleidoscope of innovative new design trends and dream of their future homes.

The opening kicked off with a family fun day featuring kid’s favourite Peppa Pig, DJs, a giant slide, Thomas the Tank Engine ride, a petting zoo, sausage sizzle and DJs. Art and craft, a Jurassic Park-themed jumping castle, face painters, balloon twisters and food and coffee vans also made the day memorable.

Berwick Waters is a joint development

by Frasers Property Australia and Mondous Property Australia and more than 500 of

the eventual 2500 homes have been built to date.

Sarah Bloom, Frasers Property’s general manager Residential Victoria, said the event was a roaring success, giving locals and those further afield the chance to explore a one-stop shop in the modern housing advances.

It was also a chance for the community to mingle, meet their future neighbours, and build new relationships.

“We wanted to launch it with a family day as that reflects what Berwick Waters is all about – family and community.”

Visitors were also given the chance to enter into a competition to win $1000, which runs until 14 May at the sales office.

The Berwick Waters sales office is at 2 Viewbank Road, Clyde North, and is open daily from 11am to 5pm. Call 13 38 38 or visit www.berwickwaters.com.au for more information.

FRANK FACEY CELEBRATES CENTENARY Andrew Facey takes the helm...

Frank Facey Real Estate, now incorporating, First National Hall and Partners, First National Neilson Partners, Parklea and Facey Industrial-Commercial, celebrates a century of success this year.

We have followed the Facey success story over the past two months, from inception in 1917, to mid 1900s when Frank Facey and his son Angus earned their reputation as the region’s most accomplished and trusted real estate agents.

Through tumultuous times that saw the end of WWII and the beginning of new industry, commerce and residential developments in the South East, Frank and his son Angus built a successful business based on strong values and professional integrity. By the time Angus’ son Andrew was ready to join the business in 1968, it was a formidable force.

By 1974, Andrew Facey was ready to take over management of Frank Facey Real Estate and lead the company through a series of significant changes which would ensure growth and success through the next 45 years.

Andrew expanded the family business to include full scale Industrial, Commercial and Residential developments within the Dandenong, Hallam, Narre Warren, Beaconsfield and Pakenham districts.

The South East was becoming more and more popular as farmland was rezoned and redeveloped to create prosperous cities and townships from Dandenong out to Pakenham.

In 1982 Frank Facey Real Estate joined the First National Real Estate Network and

by 1985 had opened the Narre Warren office of Frank Facey First National.

Andrew also founded Parklea Developments which is now the largest broad acre land holder within the Cardinia Shire in Melbourne’s East.

Some of the company’s earlier developments included Hallam Road, Hallam, in 1980, Hallam Industrial in 1982

Be a part of a new stylish and vibrant neighborhood and enjoy the conveniences of great facilities in the surrounding area in One Village. Underpinning the location are sporting and aquatic facilities: Casey Complex and Casey RACE. Located next to One Village is the prestigious Mayfield Estate and nearby shopping centers, schools, medical facilities and a local library for your convenience. With easy access to Melbourne city and surrounding parklands and reserves provides a relaxed country charm to complete the lifestyle you want.

and extension in 1985, Franleigh Park Estate in 1984, Parkview in 1986, Wedgewood Road, Hallam, in 1986 and Andene Park in 1987. Later developments included South East Business Park, Heritage Springs, Everton Gardens, Beaconsfield Hub, Arena Shopping Centre and Timbertop.

The real estate business Frank Facey bought on an impulse in 1917 was by now,

(three generations later), a major influence and facilitator of development throughout the entire South Eastern Corridor.

Next month we follow the Facey history through major initiatives and mergers which lead to the expansion of First National Neilson Partners, First National Hall and Partners, Parklea and Facey Industrial/ Commercial.

Felicity’s big win at Stawell

By David Nagel OVERCOMING obstacles has become a way of life for Cranbourne North teenager Felicity Jouvelet, who claimed the biggest prize on the Little Athletics calendar at Stawell over the Easter weekend.

A talented pole vaulter - finishing fourth in the recent Australian Track and Field Championships in Sydney - Felicity overcame some significant recent injuries to win the Girls’ 100m Handicap, the Little Athletics version of Australia’s richest professional footrace, the Stawell Gift.

Felicity and her siblings, older brother Lochlan and younger sister Monique, have been travelling to Stawell for years without success.

But a purple patch in form, combined with an improved handicap, saw Felicity become the first athlete from our region to take home the most prized sash of the racing season.

“I’ve really improved my sprinting and the handicap of 15.5 metres gave me the chance to build up a nice lead in my races,” Felicity said.

“I went okay in my heats and semifinal, but it’s still tough to win and nothing prepares you for winning at the Stawell Gift.”

Felicity’s preparations for Stawell and the National Championships survived their own obstacles, with the 13-year-old pulling her glutes muscles

from top to bottom.

The result was a jarred back which forced her to rest, restricting her competitive instincts to train as hard as possible.

Felicity needed a boost as she recovered - and it came through nonathletic means.

A talented actor and singer, she travelled to Florida and Los Angeles in December at the invitation of television network Nickelodeon.

The trip had nothing to do with athletics at all, but dad Mark, also her coach, believes Felicity returned a different person.

“The confidence she gained from that trip certainly translated to the track,” Mark said.

“She was overcoming injuries and becoming frustrated and annoyed that she had to cut her loads at training, and she was struggling to jump two metres.

She came back, had two training sessions and jumped 2.20 at her next start, and she hasn’t looked back since.”

Felicity has taken her athletics to a whole new level, extending her best height to 2.70 to qualify for events way beyond her years all the way up to the Under 18s.

But winning at Stawell, in a time of 12.363 ... it’s something she still has trouble putting in to words.

“I had no idea if I had won or lost, it was a photo finish, but the Cranbourne supporters were pretty confident I had

“When the officials headed in my direction I was speechless, I couldn’t believe that I had won. I was on the verge of crying and I didn’t know what to do. I think I was in shock because we have been going to Stawell for so long and it just meant the world to me.”

Felicity said racing at Stawell was a completely different experience to anything else throughout the year.

“It’s huge, the crowds are outrageous and really loud, it’s a different

“You get to wear different tops every year and the athletes are really famous. Asafa Powell was there a few years back, Jack Hale as well, it’s just great to be able be around those athletes and watch them compete.”

Felicity, whose dream is to represent Australia in the pole vault at the Olympics, wanted to thank some people for their support.

“My school, Narre Warren South

P-12 College, has been really supportive and so have the Cranbourne Little Athletics Club and Casey Cardinia as well. But my family has been a huge support as well; I couldn’t have achieved any of this without the support of my mum (Kim) and dad (Mark).”

Felicity also wanted to thank her older brother Lochlan for his guiding words and pieces of advice and her younger sister Monique.

Demons ready to face their biggest challenge

By David Nagel The menacing and imposing figure of former Brisbane champion Jonathan Brown looms large on the horizon for the South East Football Netball League as it looks to extend its unbeaten run in the AFL Victoria Community Championships.

Brown will coach the Hampden League into battle against the Demons at Casey Fields on Saturday 13 May, his presence attracting a strong commitment from players from Portland to Port Fairy - from Warrnambool to Camperdown.

SEFNL coach Michael ‘Jock’ Holland, preparing his fifth consecutive interleague campaign, said the stakes had grown higher with Brown as the enemy.

“I know a lot of their guys have committed this year, with Browny on board, but that’s great for us, it gives us the opportunity to take on one of the best leagues in the state at full strength,” Holland said.

“As a coaching staff we’ve discussed it and we’re in no doubt that this is definitely the biggest challenge we have confronted in the last five years.

I’ve been talking it up for years, that I firmly believe we have the goods to be one of the top five leagues in the state and our best will be good enough.

“As a coaching staff, we’re not shying away from the challenge, we just need a strong commitment from the players and I think this could be a pretty special interleague campaign.”

Holland, an interleague star during

his playing days at Pakenham, has led the SEFNL brilliantly over the last four years, taking the scalps of Wimmera, Bellarine, Sunraysia and Murray after Matt Shinners had steered the first ship to port against Nepean.

“We’re getting to the stage now where we are being rewarded for the efforts put in by a lot people,” Holland said.

“Collo (Michael Collins) and Holty (Marc Holt) have been the faces of interleague football for years but blokes like Troy McDermott, Brandon Osborne, Micky Harold, they’re coming up for the fifth campaigns and have been terrific contributors over the journey.

“I just think for those blokes it would be terrific if their peers recognised their commitment, jumped on board, and we come together as one for this challenge.”

A large squad trained together for the first time at Casey Fields on Wednesday night, 26 April.

Fresh faces from other leagues include Beaconsfield’s Corey Walker, Berwick’s James Magner and Bryce Rutherford, Doveton’s Alwyn Davey, Hampton Park youngsters Hayden Brough and CJ Layfield, Narre Warren’s Luke Cody and Tooradin pair Luke McKenna and Aisakie O’hAilpin.

Doveton’s Taylor Joyce and Narre Warren siblings Nick and Stewie Scanlon return to the SEFNL after stints in the Eastern and Southern Football Leagues respectively.

Youngsters include Beaconsfield

SEFNL coach Michael ‘Jock’ Holland believes the challenge of defeating Hampden will be the biggest of the last five years. 167588 Picture: DAVID NAGEL half back Jake Bowd, and Peter Bastin, Hayden Brough, CJ Layfield and Harrison Paul from Hampton Park.

Holland said the prospect of having ruckman Scott Meyer, Russell Gabriel and O’hAilpin all playing on the same side was mouth-watering indeed.

“They all bring something completely different to the table,” he said.

“Russ is your old fashioned powerhouse ruckman, O’hAilpin is athletic and tough and strong in the clinches and Scotty could play anywhere on the park he’s that versatile.”

Holland was keen to get the local football community on board.

“The interleague concept is special,

it’s special footy played by the best players in country Victoria and will be the best footy the supporters will see all year,” he said.

“I promise there will be at least one or two kids who get selected and they’ll thrive on the big stage, it’s been that way for years. We’ll select the boys who want to play, we’ve done it that way in the past and that way we get a consistent performance, year in, year out.”

Holland added Officer’s Jesse Longmuir to the squad after an eyecatching performance against Pakenham on Saturday.

Stingrays in a stumble

By Nick Creely TAC CUP REVIEW - ROUND 4 The Dandenong Stingrays’ wobbly start to the 2017 season has continued, falling to the still unbeaten Sandringham Dragons by 21-points at Frankston Oval on Saturday.

In front of a solid bayside crowd, the Rays looked the goods early, kicking the first two majors of the contest and looking sharp by foot.

The Dragons pegged it back later in the first-quarter, notably through impressive youngster Aaron Trusler (four goals) to gain a three-point lead at quarter-time.

It was even once more in the second, with both sides able to make the most of their opportunities going forward, but it was the Rays, through key playmakers Mason De Wit and Hunter Clark, who were able to get enough drive off the half-back line to gain the lead back at half-time.

But despite the effort and intensity remaining consistent, skill execution lacked in the second-half, with some horrific turnovers inviting the Dragons to punish them on transition.

Max Lohan (31 disposals, 16 marks and a goal) was particularly devastating in the secondhalf with his penetrating left leg for the Dragons, with the Rays unable to stop them spreading the ball and streaming forward.

But just before three-quarter-time, and with the Rays down by 22-points, a moment of utter brilliance from Hunter Clark kept them alive.

From the centre-bounce, the damaging midfielder, who is seen as a potential first-round draft pick, streamed out of the centre, and with a kick that Dustin Martin would be proud of, launched the ball 55 metres straight through the goals.

Clark then backed it up early in the fourth with a classy snap from near the pocket, but the Rays were unable to penetrate the lines like the Dragons, who ran out convincing winners.

Apart from Clark, who racked up 25 disposals, two goals and seven tackles, De Wit (22 disposals, seven marks) was damaging, while Tom De Koning (1 goal, 12 hit-outs) had his moments, skipper Josh Bateman (13 disposals) showed some nice dash off half-back and Mitch Cotter (18 disposals,

six tackles) was tough at the clinches.

Stingrays coach Craig Black was disappointed with the skilllevel of his group, and said that consistency in effort is still an issue that needs to be addressed.

“We started well, but our skill execution was below were we would like it to be,” he said.

“We also need our effort to be for much longer in games, plus our whole team needs to defend quicker.”

The Rays now move to seventh on the ladder with a 2-2 record, and will need to bounce back quickly against the Calder Cannons, who are winless this year and kicked a shocking 5.21 in their loss the same day.

Classy Bugg stars for Demons

The Demons sing the song with gusto after registering their first victory of 2017.

Picture: TWITTER Bugg and his trusty left-foot were clearly a class above the level and caused major grief for the Roosters with his run-andcarry.

The Roosters did keep coming though, booting three quick goals to close the margin to an attainable but unlikely 30-point buffer, as the Demons lost some focus and were unable to execute their skills.

But they produced a strong five-goal last term to overpower the gallant Roosters and claim the four points.

Bugg (35 disposals, 11 marks, seven tackles and five goals) was the star of the show, and Coach Justin Plapp was full of praise for the midfielder.

“It was nearly a complete game at VFL level,” Plapp said.

“He’s been dropped and comes out and responds that way; it’s a credit to him.”

Others to put in strong games were Mitch White (28 disposals), Eddie Morris (27), while Bailey Fritsch continues

VFL REVIEW - ROUND 2 Casey Demons have shaken off a spirited North Ballarat, registering their first win of 2017 by 46-points on Saturday night at Casey Fields.

The Roosters, coming off a demoralising 188-point loss to Richmond last week, were always going to come out breathing fire and did just so with their intent early.

In slippery conditions, the Demons and Roosters struggled early to gain any control over the contest, with some basic skills errors marring both sides early.

Not much separated the two sides at quarter-time, with the Demons holding a slender two-point advantage despite the Roosters having more shots on goal.

The Demons adapted quicker to the conditions in the second term, kicking four unanswered goals before the Roosters struck back late to peg the margin back to 28-points at half-time.

Bailey Fritsch, who had a strong three-goal first half, got on the board early in the third, while the excitement machine, Aloysio Ferreira, upped the ante to help his side control the contest.

But the star of the third was Melbourne-listed player Tommy Bugg, who kicked consecutive goals in a matter of minutes to take the game away in one swift movement.

to electrify, snagging four goals in an impressive display and Alyosio Ferreira is well and truly putting his name on the whiteboards for AFL recruiters after impressing with his elite skills.

Plapp was proud of his group’s response considering a short six-day break.

“The way the boys responded after playing on Monday, and with North Ballarat throwing a fair bit at us, I’m proud of them,” he said.

But of particular concern was yet another concussion to Melbourne youngster Angus Brayshaw, who has now been concussed three times in the last twelve months.

“He copped a head knock,” Plapp said.

“It’s unfortunate for him because he has had a few hits over the last few years, but hopefully he’s okay.”

The Demons will make the trip over to Simonds Stadium on Saturday to tackle Geelong, who are coming off a 52-point loss to Port Melbourne.

Eagles clip Magpies wings

By David Nagel It may have slipped under the radar during the pre-season, but Beaconsfield is now fully in the South East Football Netball League spotlight after a gutsy 26-point victory over Narre Warren.

The Eagles travelled to Kalora Park with a massive task ahead, trying to win just its second home-and-away fixture against the Magpies in 13 years.

All the pre-season talk centred on Narre Warren’s strong pre-season recruiting and how the Magpies looked set to throw down the gauntlet to both Berwick and Cranbourne.

Meanwhile, down at Holm Park Reserve, a new coaching staff was appointed, some solid but unspectacular types were brought in, and what’s proving to be the best young crop of youngsters in the competition were slowly on the improve.

But the lid has now been blown on the Eagles after a desperate win, built on brilliant ball

movement down back and some blistering leg speed that caught the Magpies napping.

“Ball movement has been a heavy focus of ours in the preseason, not so much who has the footy in their hands, but where we want the football and how we want to release it,” said Beaconsfield coach Leigh McQuillen.

“Narre Warren plays their ground well. They probably went in thicker and harder while we picked a side well equipped to use the whole ground. Maybe we surprised them a bit, they would be used to a different style of play from Beaconsfield, but our lateral ball movement is a big part of what we do now.”

Nick Scanlon gave the Magpies the early lead in the first term before the Eagles took command.

Josh Dodsworth’s brilliant pressure around the contest saw him feed Beau Dowler for the reply, before goals to Michael Misso, Daniel Johnston, Dodsworth, Kyle Van Der Pluym

and Dowler again on the siren gave the Eagles a 35-point lead at the first change.

The Magpies fought back, kicking 7.4 to 2.3 in the second term to close the margin to four points.

But Beacy refocused after a half-time scuffle to kick the only two goals in the third, and then kicked three goals to one in the final term for a very courageous victory.

The pressure of half-forwards Dodsworth and Kyle Van der Pluym was rewarded; Dodsworth with best-on-ground honours while Van der Pluym was his side’s leading goal kicker with three. Ruckman Scott Meyer was typically brilliant, while Jake Bowd and Corey Walker were inspirational down back.

Scanlon was magnificent for the Magpies, kicking four goals and having a tremendous influence around the ground.

In other games, reigning premier Cranbourne had to fight hard for its 15-point victory

over a brave Tooradin at Casey Fields.

The Eagles led by 25 points at the main break but had that margin cut to single digits midway through the last term. Ryan Jones, Nathan Gardiner and Zak Roscoe kicked two each for the Eagles while Nick Lang kicked five of his six goals in the second half for the Seagulls.

Gulls ruckman Aisakie O’Hailpin was the dominant big man on the ground.

In other games, Officer gained Princes Highway bragging rights with a 44-point victory over Pakenham while Berwick kicked the sweep, cracking the 200-point barrier in its 159-point win over Hampton Park.

Brody Connelly kicked six for the Wickers who had Michael Riseley play a lead role across half back. Luke O’Brien kicked three for the Redbacks who now face some clearer waters after an extremely tough start to the season.

By David Nagel Beaconsfield has finally ended the magnificent 21game winning streak of Narre Warren with a spectacular 49-46 victory over the Magpies in a classic contest at Kalora Park.

Last year’s grand finalists went head to head; the Eagles cracking the game open with a stunning 15-9 third quarter to take a fivegoal lead to the final change.

Beaconsfield coach Simon O’Shanassy was thrilled with the standard of netball.

“It was a great game of netball, it was a clean fierce contest played in the spirit that netball should be played,” O’Shanassy said.

“It was a great game and it took our very best to beat them. They’re Narre Warren and they’ve won 21 games in a row for a reason.

They’re well-drilled, wellstructured and really play well as a team.”

And it’s a team that suffered some major hiccups on the weekend.

The Magpies regular goal-scoring force of Gabrielle Dwyer and Tayla Shannon was missing for most of the day. Dwyer was in Canberra with elite netball duties while Shannon suffered a nasty injury in the first term.

“I’m great friends with Tayla and it was really sad to see her go down, hopefully everything is fine with her,” O’Shanassy said.

Goaler Bianca Sanzaro (goal shooter) held her nerve for the Eagles while Kate Murphy (wing defence ) was solid and Ash Gill (wing attack) made a big contribution after hitting the

court in the second half.

Erin Clark (WD), Chloe Phillips (GS) were terrific over four quarters for the Magpies.

Tooradin is primed to take on the reigning backto-back champions after consolidating top spot with a 47-32 victory over Cranbourne at Casey Fields.

But the Eagles made life difficult for the visitors in the first quarter.

Cranbourne defenders Tara Cecil (goal defence) and Hailey Galpin (goal keeper) kept a close watch on Tooradin goalers, smartAlexes Duff (goal shooter) and Maher (goal attack), while Steph Ryan (centre) kept paces with Shona Wells in the midcourt.

But the Seagulls slowly got on top, extending their two-goal lead to seven at half time before opening up the turbos after the break.

The Seagulls showed premiership-contending form in the third term, with Jess Cox moving from wing attack to goal attack and having a major impact, scoring 12 goals for the quarter.

There were some positive outcomes for Cranbourne. Kayla Wilson (C) took control of the midcourt in the final term leading the Eagles to an 11-10 advantage to finish off the match.

Hampton Park has chalked up its first win of the season with a 46-34 victory over a brave Berwick at Robert Booth Reserve.

The home side had the better of a dour first term, leading 8-4 at the first break before stretching that fourgoal lead to 10 at the major interval.

SENIORS

ROC centre Ash Barnett halts the progress of Pakenham’s Renae Joiner at Toomuc Picture: ROB CAREW Reserve on Saturday. 167479 and Karli Foster (GD) were proving a tough nut to crack for the Wickers who could manage just 11 goals in the first half. Megan Egbers (GS) had an outstanding second quarter for the Redbacks, scoring her side’s complete total of 13 goals for the quarter.

The Wickers flew the flag in the second half, outscoring the Redbacks 13-11 in the third term in a strong

sign of defiance. Olivia Macente (C) was brilliant through the midcourt in the third term, joined by Emily Pratt (WA) and Sarah Nash (WD) in a very competitive midcourt combination.

And ROC has produced a strong second-half performance to run away with a 53-25 win over Pakenham.

The Lions stuck with the Kangaroos in the first half before the defensive efforts

of Laura Quinn and Mel Overdyk stopped the home side in its tracks.

Ash Barnett (C), Georgie Douglas (WD) and Sam Neil (GA) were also impressive for the winners while Kyra Esler (GS) showed some promising signs in the Lions second-quarter revival. Emma Jones and Renae Joiner also tried hard for the Lions.

Numbers soar in women’s league

By David Nagel Women’s football looks set to continue its staggering growth pattern of the last few years with the impending birth of the South Eastern Women’s Football League (SEWFL) in 2017.

A total of 25 clubs will field 32 teams across three divisions, setting the foundation for future success stories in the elite VFL and AFL Women’s competitions.

Established clubs in the South East such as Beaconsfield, Cranbourne, Endeavour Hills and Seaford will match motors in the top two divisions, while the real excitement will come at the base level of SEWFL where new clubs will bring a fresh look to the football landscape.

Division three - the South East Development League - will see clubs from as far and wide as the Bass Coast,

Morwell East, Crib Point and Bunyip dip their toes into the competitive ranks for the very first time.

Officer SFC is also one such club and president Barry O’Loughlin said after a long build up the club was now looking forward to the start of the season on Saturday 6 May. “It’s been a long process, but the numbers have stayed strong and the girls have really maintained their enthusiasm,” O’Loughlin said.

“It will be great to finally get it going, a great starting point for a concept that is going to get bigger and bigger as the years go by. It’s phenomenal what’s happening really, women’s football is already massive and you’d love to have a crystal ball to see where it will all end up.”

O’Loughlin said the growth of the senior competition would hopefully attract stronger numbers to the junior

ranks.

“I know there have been some difficulties in attracting numbers in the juniors at some clubs, but this will filter down and clubs are going to get stronger and stronger,” he said.

“Some clubs like Cranbourne and Seaford are already fielding three senior sides and I can see the day - in two to three years’ time - where we’re doing the same.”

O’Loughlin said the implementation of women’s football had created a great atmosphere at the club.

“It’s always been about a one-club mentality for us, I’ve said that from the start, and that’s the way we’re approaching it,” he said.

“The girls get treated no differently to the boys. We share the duties around the club evenly and that’s the way it should be.”

Girls like Dandenong Stingray Molly McDonald have a new avenue to the big time with the advent of the South Eastern Women’s Football Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS League. 166487 COMPETING TEAMS IN SOUTH EASTERN WOMEN’S FOOTBALL LEAGUE Chisholm SEWF Division 1 Cranbourne, Eastern Devils, Gippsland Maroons, Knox, Port Melbourne, Seaford, St Kilda Sharks.

Dee’s passion for coaching sets the scene

By Nick Creely Women’s football was once the great unknown - it’s now the great success story of 2017.

With all the hype that came with the AFLW and its inaugural season, there was also the birth of an elite pathway for talented young girls to develop their game - the TAC Cup Girls competition.

And the coach of the Dandenong Stingrays Girls’ team, Dee Longwill, said that the introduction of the pathway is another major stepping stone in Women’s Football in Victoria.

“It’s very important (the competition) - these girls are the benchmark to where the young talent will come from, it is our job to get the younger generation up to the standard of our elite programs,” she said.

“There needs to be a succession plan or the competition won’t last.

It is about educating and increasing the awareness, the well-being of this young talent.

“It is good to see what level they need to be at - how hard they need to

work to get to the elite level.

“Definitely the standard will improve and it will become the benchmark for the younger generation but it will also provide the education and multiple pathways for women’s footy.”

It was a steady season for the Rays, who finished in a respectable sixth position with a 3-2 record, and impressed on numerous occasions against some of the stronger sides.

They enjoyed a strong win in their inaugural game over the Oakleigh Chargers by 24-points, before tasting victory twice more against Gippsland Power (72-points) and Greater Western Victoria (37-points).

Longwill said that it was an enjoyable year for all involved down at Dandenong, and said that it definitely Stingrays coach Dee Longwill was excited by what the TAC Cup season exceeded expectations in terms of what did for Women's Football. 166487 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS they achieved. guide them into the elite competition.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better the team was jelling together.”

Some stars emerged out of the com“We had a number of success stofirst season. I wish the season was longer as the girls were connecting as a petition for the Rays, with several play- ries this season within the team with team and in their line groups, our struc- ers involved in representative football, some players making the Under 16 and tures were improving each week and another major positive as they look to Under 18 Vic Country squads, players

being involved in the AFL Academy, the interest from the community, sponsors, family and friends and with Bridie Kennedy winning joint Best and Fairest for the TAC Cup competition,” she said.

As for Longwill, she is just looking to continue her path in coaching the Stingrays to glory, and wherever it may lead is exciting.

“Being a part of the Stingrays and being involved in the TAC Cup Girls competition has been a fantastic development for my overall coaching experience and for the development of the players at an elite level,” she said.

“I am more determined to gain as much experience in the off-season to provide the next generation with the growth and knowledge that is required.

“Working with the assistant coaches, trainers and support staff was also a great experience, learning and bouncing ideas off each other.

“Currently I would like to continue gaining exposure and experience to my coaching and see where it takes me.”

Comets no match for Langwarrin FFV SOCCER WRAP REVIEW - ROUND 4 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH-EAST Casey Comets have felt the wrath of Langwarrin SC 3-1, with the undefeated team controlling their contest from the outset.

Connor Belger got the ball rolling in the 7th minute with a classy finish, before Aaran Currie got his first goal of the season in the 33rd minute.

With the game virtually done and dusted, the Comets, through Jesse Martindale, struck early in the secondhalf, before Langwarrin found a way past the keeper again to claim a comprehensive victory.

The Comets will travel to Elwood Park to face St Kilda FC on Saturday, in what looms as an intriguing clash.

In other results, Warragul United annihilated South Springvale SC 6-0, Mornington SC defeated Clifton Hill 3-1, Manningham United atoned for Malvern City 2-0 and Morwell Pegasus lost narrowly to St Kilda SC 2-3.

STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH-EAST Berwick City continued their positive start to the season with a solid 5-1 away win against Old Scotch on Saturday.

Both teams started positively with both goalkeepers on top early denying the opposition forwards good chances at both ends of the ground.

It was Berwick who opened the scoring in the 30th minute through skipper Orlando Mejias who blasted home from close range.

Berwick’s lead didn’t last long as Old Scotch pounced on a midfield error to score on the break.

Just before half time, Berwick restored their lead after great lead up play from Bryce Ziada found Mejias in space who clinically hit the ball first time leaving the Old Scotch keeper no chance.

The second half was a dominant display from Berwick who controlled the game and snuffed out any opposition resistance when Mejias bagged his

hat-trick in the 59th minute.

Further goals to Ruben Ichim and Steve Vernon rounded off a solid performance to keep City undefeated in 2017.

The Reserves lost their first game of the year going down 2-0.

Berwick face a tough month of football ahead as they take on some of the key teams fighting for league honours.

One of those teams is Beaumaris who Berwick will meet this Saturday night at home.

Doveton also tasted victory, with a 1-0 victory over Peninsula Strikers FC at Centenary Park.

STATE-LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH Bunyip has finally won their first ever state-league match, crushing local rivals Drouin 5-0 in a comprehensive display.

The win lifts the Strikers off the bottom-of-the-ladder, as they look to keep building into the next season.

Pakenham United has drew with

Berwick City continued on with their impressive start to the season.

166493 Picture: ROB CAREW Dandenong Warriors 2-2 in an entertaining clash at Lois Twohig Reserve.

Alex Herrera and Lucio Tilman were the two goal-scorers for the United, who are in some solid form.

Casey Panthers have been taught a harsh lesson, going down 1-8 to Sandown Lions, who have now scored an incredible 24 goals so far this season.

But on a positive note, the Panthers were able to score a goal, something no other side has been able to achieve against the Lions so far this season.

In other matches, Chelsea FC smashed Somerville 7-2, Lyndale United lost 3-5 in a high-scoring clash with Rowville, while Old Mentonians defeated White Star Dandenong 1-0.

Pajero pushes its boundaries

By Derek Ogden THE Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has extended itself with the addition of a third row of seats, giving the big sports utility vehicle a fine balance of occupant comfort and cargo-carrying flexibility.

The Pajero Sport comes in three versions GLX, GLS and Exceed - and continues to offer exceptional value and performance in the genuine 4x4 SUV class, with smooth eight-speed automatic transmission, thrifty 2.4-litre turbo-diesel engine and Super Select II four-wheel drive.

The well-specified GLX features dual-zone air-conditioning, leather interior, rain-sensing wipers, dusk-sensing headlamps and electrochromatic rear view mirror.

The range-topping Pajero Sport Exceed features the latest in advanced safety systems, with multi around monitor, blind spot warning, forward collision mitigation and Ultrasonic Missacceleration Mitigation System among its standard equipment. (The latter helps dopey drivers who accelerate instead of braking from ramming something.)

Mitsubishi’s new off-road terrain control and Super Select II all-wheel drive systems are fitted to every Pajero Sport.

Along with rear view camera, reversing sensors, seven airbags, emergency stop signal, hill descent control, hill start assist and trailer stability assist systems, Pajero Sport boasts a long list of standard safety features.

Mitsubishi has used the Pajero Sport to help introduce the company’s new Dynamic Shield styling theme, lending it a distinctive appearance from every angle.

Latest design 18-inch alloy wheels all add a robust character and a premium appearance. LED

Model range Pajero Sport GLX: $45,000 Pajero Sport GLS: $48,500 Pajero Sport Exceed: $52,750

rear combination lamps have a unique vertical design.

However, it’s all about aerodynamics - a drag co-efficient of 0.04 Cd - in this case, among the best in class.

The front bumper has been shaped to ensure the smooth flow of air along the sides, while the A-pillars are rounded and flush with the glass to reduce wind resistance.

Front air dams, ahead of the front tyres, reduce air resistance and suppress lifting force.

Pajero Sport’s sides taper inward at the rear to smooth airflow separation and lower air resistance, while a front-end design decreases splash over the windscreen when driving through water.

Occupants step up into a cabin with interior space bettered over its predecessor with more front seat headroom, and extra shoulder room in the second row.

Reach-and-rake adjustable steering and seat slide travel ensures drivers of almost all sizes can find a comfortable seating position.

Uprated noise insulation has been used to achieve a calm interior, while the four-spoke leather steering wheel is functional with a sporty overtone.

The latter incorporates cruise, audio and other controls with auto transmission paddle shifts mounted behind the wheel.

Sharply contrasting instrumentation contributes to a luxury appearance and a multi-information display in the dash panel provides information on fuel consumption, fuel range, eco-drive assistance, as well as drive and off-road modes.

Users can connect to apps, including navigation, stored on their smartphone through the system’s seven-inch colour touch screen or via voice control.

The system also allows users to make calls or send SMS messages hands free. Smartphone Display Audio is standard on all Pajero Sport models.

Digital radio is standard with all variants fitted with DAB, along with traditional AM/FM tuner.

An all-new eight-speed automatic transmission has been given its first outing in a Mitsubishi vehicle and has been specially developed for Pajero Sport.

It features a sophisticated adaptive control system which features uphill control to select the best ratio; downhill control, where lower gears are selected to support deceleration via engine braking; and accelerator pedal release control, in which upshifting is temporarily prevented when the accelerator pedal is rapidly released to provide engine braking and assist acceleration performance once the pedal is re-applied; and rapid kick-down control.
