to hear”.

Men of that age tended to be self-absorbed, the lawyer said.

The man however recognised there was a “ripple effect” on the victim, their family and his family, the lawyer said.

“There’s definitely a way to go in regards to insight. Some of that is related to age, some of that is his personality trait,” the lawyer said.

“So it’s a work in progress.”

The 17-year-old victim had last year stated to the court that the accused had taken everything from her; had made her feel worthless, unable to sleep and afraid to love again.

The man has not breached a full and indefinite intervention order protecting her since the incidents.

Magistrate Mr Vandersteen said it was significant that the young man had spent 50 days in pre-sentence adult custody after his arrest.

He took into account the accused’s “exceptional” compliance with a five-month plus supervised Youth Justice bail program, including a night curfew with a ban on drugs and alcohol.

In the man’s favour was support of a good family, lack of prior convictions and his guilty plea.

The man’s two-year supervised community corrections order, with conviction, includes 150 hours of unpaid work and drug treatment, as well as drug testing, mental health treatment and judicial monitoring.

Mr Vandersteen indicated that if not for the guilty plea, the man would have been sentenced to 18 months’ detention in a youth training facility.

12351156-RC19-17

A 19-year-old man has been put on a community corrections order after pleading guilty to punching, strangling and hitting a school girl to the head with a hammer while she was trapped in his Hampton Park family’s backyard shed for hours.

“This is as serious offending as you would get,” Dandenong magistrate Jack Vandersteen said during a sentencing hearing on 8 May. “This would have been an absolutely terrifying event for her.”

Over 2 and 3 October, the man - enraged by a video found on her phone - choked his former girlfriend twice until she was unconscious, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court had heard.

He struck her with a hammer three times, and held a sharp tool near her eye, telling her that he’d kill her.

The accused later told police that he had got so angry that he had blacked out himself.

He had choked her to scare her and stop her yelling, he allegedly told police.

In a Youth Justice report, the man was said to lack maturity as well as insight into his crimes. He was a medium risk of re-offending, the court heard.

The man’s lawyer told the court on 8 May that there had been a “clear shift” in the man’s insight in the past five months but there was “definitely a way to go”.

The accused was being “honest” in saying he had difficulty empathising with what the victim was feeling, and not just telling Youth Justice “what they wanted

Costs eat at council

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey council formally released its Draft Budget 2017/'18, Council Vision, and Draft 2017-'21 Council Plan for public consideration at a special meeting on Tuesday 9 May. The 2017/'18 budget includes a 2 per cent rate rise across the municipality in line with the State Government’s rate capping scheme.

Casey council did not apply for a variation to the rate cap in the 2017/'18 financial year despite applying for a variation - and being knocked back - in the 2016/'17 financial year.

The 2017/'18 Casey council budget allocates a total of $415.3 million with $290.6 million being allocated towards operating costs and $124.7 million to the capital works program.

Sports and recreation facilities such as ovals, club rooms and other sports-related infrastructure are big winners in the budget being allocated $20.9 million.

A total of $20.4 million has been allocated to renewing and building community facilities across the municipality.

Roads, paths, public lighting, drainage and pedestrian crossings have been allocated $16.2 million.

Playgrounds and open spaces will receive a $2.16 million allocation and a further $12.5 million allocation will go towards family and children centres.

Environmental initiatives also feature in the budget with a $1.4 million allocation to council’s tree management programs and $315,000 to retrofit three of council’s higher energy consumption facilities with

LED lighting and solar panels.

Community centres in Cranbourne East, Doveton, Narre Warren, Clyde North, and Endeavour Hills are some of the major beneficiaries in the budget with $12.9 million being allocated to renew and construct centres in these areas.

The cost to households on waste management services across the City of Casey will go down and average at 7 per cent in 2017/'18.

During his speech at the special council meeting, Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the cut to the growing suburbs fund by the State Government would mean delays to major projects in the future.

“The proportion of investment from rates revenue in capital works over the next year is the lowest it’s been for some time,” he said.

“While this was supplemented by unexpected State Government grants in the last financial year, the slashing of the Growing Suburbs Fund by half in the State Budget will likely put an end to that.”

“As a result, council will have no choice but to reduce or delay future investment in services and infrastructure.”

The draft budget and strategic plan will be available for the community to review and have their say on until 9 June 2017.

The budget papers can be viewed online at www.caseyconversations. com.au/our-future.

Those lodging a submission will have the opportunity to present to council on 21 June and council will consider any written submissions before adopting the 2017-'18 budget on 27 June 2017.

Sexual assault in shopping car park Police are on the lookout for a man who sexually assaulted a woman in the carpark of the Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre last month.

Police have been told the man followed the 50-year-old woman around a supermarket in the shopping centre for about 45 minutes while she shopped for groceries.

While she was placing her groceries in her car about 1.15pm on Wednesday 29 April, the woman was approached by the same man who had followed her around the supermarket.

The man engaged the woman in a conversation, commenting on her appearance, before she noticed him fondling himself.

The man then walked toward her and rubbed his shoulder up against her before walking away towards Sladen Street.

He is described as Caucasian in appearance, about 185cm tall, with light brown hair, slim build, blue eyes and thin lips.

At the time of the assault, he was wearing a short-sleeve high visibility yellow work shirt, long beige work pants and dark work boots.

Police have released a picture of a man who they believe may be able to assist with their investigation.

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

CCTV from the construction site in Clyde North captured this person on the site after hours.

Dear gear is stolen Opposition Leader Matthew Guy at Endeavour Hills Police Station.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Where is the law, asks Opposition Leader Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has unleashed a scathing rebuke of the Andrews Government’s latest budget, particularly in relation to law and order.

While the budget details big spending by the State Government on police resources and changes to the bail system, Mr Guy says the changes don’t go far enough.

The 2017-'18 Victorian Budget outlines more than $2 billion for over 3000 new police officers, 100 new Protective Service Officers and increased monitoring of serious offenders.

The budget also includes funding for upgrades to 10 police stations - but Mr Guy said that wouldn’t help protect people living in fear in the South East suburbs.

“Particularly in Casey and Cardinia, crime rates have risen by double-digit figures year on year now,’ he said.

“The government announced late last year that they would fund extra police and this is certainly welcome; however, the budget doesn’t do anything to resolve or problems with the bail system or problems associated with sentencing.”

“I am distressed and very disappointed the budget doesn’t have any new monies for those kinds of law and order areas.”

Mr Guy said the failure of the State Government to build a new police station in Clyde or restore the reduced opening hours of police stations like Endeavour Hills showed the short-sightedness of the budget.

“There is no money in the budget to build new police stations or re-open closed stations,” he said.

“The government have said they will replace 10 stations and that’s fine, but it’s not going to help stations that have closed or had hours reduced.”

“Pakenham station has had its hours reduced at certain times and it is astounding the resources at Endeavour Hills station are so thin.”

Mr Guy has confirmed that a Liberal Victorian Government would make cuts to other areas of the budget to spend more on police resources.

“I want to make Victoria a safer place,” he said.

“In areas where we have stations allocated to be open 16 hours a day, we need to actually have the stations open for those 16 hours and if it means more resources then the government have to fund those resources.”

“If that means reprioritising resources to get them to stations like Endeavour Hills to do so then do so.”

Mr Guy also claimed that numbers of Protective Service Officers at train stations had been cut 33 across the Melbourne Metro network - a claim Police Minister Lisa Neville said was completely false.

“The Leader of the Opposition has blatantly misled the community by claiming that there was no money in the budget for police and that PSOs have been cut,” Ms Neville said.

“The budget included $2 billion to recruit 2729 police and an extra 100 PSOs." Ms Neville said the new PSOs would be positioned at the busiest train stations and tram stops across the network and while numbers sometimes fluctuate, there had not been a cut.

“There can be small fluctuations in numbers generally due to PSOs moving on to police training to become constables in Victoria Police - but this will have absolutely no impact on PSO presence at train stations,” she said.

Ms Neville said the new police resources in the budget would be allocated to the communities most in need under the Victoria Police staff allocation model.

Thieves have stolen thousands of dollars’ worth of specialist equipment from a construction site in Clyde North early last month.

Police believe the unknown crooks broke into the site sheds between 1.30pm on 1 April and 6.30am on 3 April.

The thieves stole a ‘Topcon’ brand GPS valued at $20,000 and a ‘Topcon’ dual grade levelling laser valued at $4000.

Police have released an image from CCTV of a person who may be able to assist, as well as images of the stolen items in the hope that someone may know of their whereabouts.

Anyone with any information is asked to please contact Detective Senior Constable Doyle at Casey Crime Investigation Unit on 9705 3114 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Cash fights family violence

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Three City of Casey councillors have nominated $5000 each from their training and education expenses allowances to help fund a seminar about preventing family violence.

Councillors Rex Flannery, Rosalie Crestani, and Milla Gilic sacrificed their allowances from the 2016-'17 council budget to retain Dr Dina McMillan to conduct a family violence seminar where abusive relationships will be discussed.

As well as a renowned author, Dr McMillan has also provided training for human service professionals, ad-

vised the Australian Government on domestic violence policy and assisted agencies to develop family violence support groups.

The move from these councillors comes after a report was presented to council on Tuesday 2 May that detailed the council’s current programs and initiatives regarding family violence.

The report was called for by Cr Flannery at the previous council meeting where he also suggested the council should invest in banners or signage declaring the council’s support for ending family violence.

The report shows that council cur-

rently has a men’s action group that focuses on supporting council to address the causes of family violence.

It also shows council supports exterior events such as White Ribbon Day through a lunch held with Bunjil Place contractor Multiplex in 2016 and through large ‘advertisements’ on the city’s rubbish trucks.

Council also has established partnerships with community organisations that work with victims and perpetrators of family violence.

However, councillors Flannery, Crestani and Gilic believe more can be done to prevent family violence in Casey through education and engage-

Cr Flannery said he would support one of the 17 new family violence hubs announced by the State Government to be established in City of Casey.

“We would love a hub to be able to share with Greater Dandenong and Cardinia, it’s a no brainer,” he said.

“We are on track to become the biggest municipality in Victoria, so it would be sensible to have them there.”

A further report will be presented to council by June 2017 that will detail the viability of erecting Say No to Family Violence roadside banners in the municipality.

Peulich in pre-poll victory

Working to get job qualified The Victorian Fitness Academy (VFA Learning) Narre Warren is a registered training organisation that specialises in vocational training for the fitness and sport, massage therapy and early childhood education industries.

With a purpose-built facility offering flexible learning options, business development manager Jeremy Riley explained that the strong practical component offered by VFA assists individuals in gaining the skills and knowledge required to begin a rewarding career.

“Anyone from school leavers, career changers and those looking to return to study or work that would love to start an exciting career as a personal trainer, massage therapist or early childhood educator should consider getting started with VFA learning,” Jeremy said.

With student wellbeing and success the focus of VFA learning, the academy is linked with Deakin and Federation Universities and offers pathways to degree qualifications beyond a VFA diploma.

“Choosing a VFA pathway program can see students transition from VCAL/VCE to a working qualification before they start university,” Jeremy said. “(Doing this gives students) the ability to start work in their chosen field earlier and gain in-

ment with community leaders.

“I think there is a lot we have already done and we are doing quite a lot of work supporting services and referring issues to professionals when they come up,” Cr Crestani said.

“However, there is always more to do and that is what Rex Flannery is getting at, and I support a series of seminars that we can run that are community based,” she said.

“We want these seminars to be a forum where someone can teach the community to live in a safe environment, how to identify abusers, and how to get help away from an unsafe environment.”

Liberal MP Inga Peulich has emerged victorious from a three-way pre-selection challenge for her No.2 spot on the party ticket for the 2018 State Election.

Ms Peulich, a sitting SouthEastern Metropolitan Region MP, stared down challenges from former Casey mayor and Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford and Casey councillor Damien Rosario.

Mark Barrow withdrew his challenge prior to the preselection vote by the party’s executive as well as central and branch delegates on 7 May. The Liberal Party did not release figures for the final tally.

A source claimed the margin was as high as 57-18 between Ms Peulich and Ms Wreford; another from a different camp claimed there was only 10 votes in it.

Sitting Liberal MP Gordon Rich-Phillips is unopposed on the number one spot on the ticket.

Ms Peulich said she was humbled by the strong support from local and central delegates in the “overwhelming” result.

“Delegates, most of whom would be extremely seasoned party members, were given opportunity to read about, interview and assess candidates on the performance on convention day and meetings and discussions before the convention.

“The negative campaign against me would have been seen for what it was.”

That campaign included a media report published the day before the vote that claimed she employed her relatives at her electorate office, as well as a small protest staged by former

Inga Peulich at a crime initiative talk in 2014. 127157 Picture: DONNA OATES Liberal branch members at a delegates’ vote in April.

Ms Peulich said she was rewarded for her strong track record.

“Given my background, having migrated to Australia as a small girl who migrated to Australia from a communist regime, I am indeed privileged to have the opportunity to represent the Liberal Party and to have been re-endorsed by the convention.

“Democracy is a beacon to all those who aspire to better their lives, as it was to my family.”

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-of-government.

Liberal state director Simon Frost said Ms Peulich was chosen by the Preselection Convention through a rigorous process.

“The administrative committee will meet shortly to endorse her position as the second candidate on the Liberal Party ticket for the region at the 2018 State Election.”

Cranny finds voice

By Victoria Stone-Meadows The Cranbourne area has a cohort of potential stars in the making, with seven young men and women from the area competing in the latest season of The Voice Australia.

Chloe Kandetzki from Clyde is the youngest ever contestant on the show, at just 15 years old.

Ms Kandetzki said she had always had a love for singing and was excited to be the youngest contestant in the show’s history.

“I’ve been doing singing lessons since I was nine years old and music has always been a part of my life.

"Mum even has photos of me with a mic in my hands when I was really little,” she said.

“I have been singing for so long and I have watched every season of The Voice and always wanted to be on it.”

“I would always tell Mum and Dad I would be on it, so it’s really cool to be making history.”

The Year 10 student from Cranbourne East Secondary College said she was nervous before stepping on stage for her blind audition, but her training soon kicked in.

“I was nervous before I was doing the audition but as soon as I got out there it was all good,” she said.

“It is such an incredible experience, probably one of the best moments in my life seeing all of the artists and meeting the contestants.”

She was picked by celebrity judge Kelly Rowland during her blind audition on Monday 8 May. Along with Ms Kandetzki is 20-year-old Jesse Dutlow from Hampton Park.

Mr Dutlow said song and dance had been a major feature of his up-

Fake lawyer cans cases

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Chloe Kandetzki and Jesse Dutlow are representing Cranbourne and surrounding areas on the most Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS recent season of The Voice Australia. 168022 bringing and his mother in particular instilled a love of music in him.

He said being a part of The Voice would allow him to follow his passion and build his music career in front of the nation.

“I think I wanted to go on the show to get my career going,” he said.

“It is something I’m really passionate about doing with my life.

It’s not just a hobby for me, I take it very seriously.”

Mr Dutlow has a background in music, having studied song-writing for two years in Sydney and he released an EP last year.

He said he drew inspiration from the artists he admired, as well as his music and songwriting acting as an outlet for him to express his faith.

“Writing songs draw inspiration from faith as a Christian and my journeys through life’s ups and downs,” he said.

“I put a lot of emotion into my music and it is my relationship with

God that drives those melodies and stories.”

Mr Dutlow was picked by celebrity judge Boy George during his blind audition on Sunday 7 May. Joining Ms Kandetzki and Mr Dutlow are 16-year-old Grace Laing from Pearcedale, 17-year-old Hoseah Partsch from Cranbourne and the band “He Planned Us” made up of family members Crystal (23), Celina (20) and cousin Shari (21) also from Cranbourne.

A fake lawyer has apparently been emailing requests on behalf of at least two defendants at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court, a magistrate has noted.

During a hearing on 8 May, Jack Vandersteen asked if a defendant knew a purported lawyer ‘Sarah O’Hara’ who had requested an adjournment of the defendant’s case on 14 October.

The request - with the accused’s name and case number - had been emailed to the court about 4am on the day of the October hearing.

The language and layout was convincing enough to cause the Dandenong court’s registrar to adjourn the matter as requested, Mr Vandersteen said.

It was the second request from Ms O’Hara made on behalf of another accused that had been uncovered in the past week, he said.

He said the emails ought to be referred to the Victorian Legal Services Commissioner.

“The concern of the court is obvious,” he said.

“At the lowest, it’s a mistake. At the highest, it’s an attempt to pervert justice.”

The alleged client, a 26-year-old Cranbourne woman, told the court from the public gallery that she didn’t know who Ms O’Hara was.

Her real lawyer on 8 May told the court: “She has never seen any other lawyer outside of Victoria Legal Aid.” Mr Vandersteen said to the accused: “I’m not suggesting at all that you have anything to do with it.

“If we’re having court processes thwarted by someone, we have to know.”

The accused had pleaded guilty to multiple counts of driving unlicensed and driving an unregistered vehicle, as well as possession of the drug ice, drug-driving and handling $700 of stolen cosmetics and clothes.

She was put on a 12-month supervised community corrections order with 75 hours of unpaid work and drug testing and treatment.

Cranbourne man Bryan Denton has been missing since April.

Missing man call Police are asking the public to help locate missing Cranbourne man Bryan Denton.

Mr Denton was last seen at a residence on Trafalgar Way in Cranbourne on 21 April but has not been seen or heard from since.

Police and family believe Mr Denton does not have his phone, wallet, or any bank cards with him and is likely using public transport as he does not own a car.

With the Andrews Government announcing funding for the Mordialloc Bypass last week, why on earth did our do-nothing Jude Perera remain dumb?

He should have walked our Premier down High Street and begged – Dear Premier, We need to get all of these heavy vehicles (mainly diesel) and large semis out of the main street here in Cranbourne.

Cranbourne small business, residents, students, elderly and shoppers deserve better.

We need to route all of this traffic around our main street and given Dingley, Dandenong, Kooweerup and now Mordialloc have funding, why punish Cranbourne?

Cranbourne will not always remain a safe Labor seat Mr Perera.

Geoff Cousins, Cranbourne.

Don't let me be misunderstood It is no fun being misrepresented or misunderstood. This is one of the key points made

by Michael Boss and Mat Harry about the experience of many Muslim people in Australia in the Cranbourne News article ‘Cornerstone of Ignorance’. It is good that they are concerned. However two wrongs do not make a right, and this article only made misunderstanding worse – this time for churches and their people.

I have met with Michael Boss and share his concerns about the attitudes of some Christians and some members of the wider public towards Muslim people.

However, contrary to what the article suggests (an article which unfortunately triggered an equally unhelpful article in the 23 April Sunday Age), the explanation for most of the 110 Casey Churches not responding to an invitation to sign the Casey Against Racism’s statement in June last year is probably that they are not aware of having received it.

I am not aware of having received mine, let alone of receiving follow-up telephone calls.

None of my Cranbourne clergy colleagues remembers receiving it, and only one of my Casey Anglican colleagues is aware of having received it. In what sense can it be said that

we ‘rejected a reconciliatory statement’?

It is hard to avoid the conclusion that the article was not a hastily researched, and unfair, ‘beat-up’, even if six other churches failed to ‘reply before deadline’.

I hope that I will be given the opportunity to reply, albeit after the deadline, a courtesy not extended me by the Sunday Age. David Powys, Vicar, St John’s Cranbourne.

Correction Sex Party Australia leader Fiona Patten was quoted in the News on 27 April, calling on Matthew Guy and Daniel Andrews to “put their d***s down”.

Unfortunately, the reporter misheard. Ms Patten called for the MPs to “put their sticks down”.

Ray’s say

Socially speaking The first day of May is historically a day for worders to celebrate winning safe working conditions and gaining more rights in the workplace. Unfortunately this 1 May, the Cranbourne/Berwick News Facebook page published a story of a very unsafe workplace. A Foodworks supermarket in Berwick had been robbed at knifepoint by a 14-year-old boy. The story was published amid the excitement of the state budget which included many measures to improve law and order across the state. Here is how you reacted on the Facebook page: Rachael L.

No help with growing pains Funding of “critical” community infrastructure within Cardinia shire and the City of Casey was slashed in the 2 May State Budget following a 50 per cent cut to the Growing Suburbs Fund, with the government turning its focus to existing projects.

Over the past two years, 76 parks, playgrounds, ovals, sports centres and community centres - including Cardinia Shire’s Deep Creek and Heatherbrae reserves - have been built or are under construction in Melbourne’s growth corridors thanks to grants from the $50 million annual fund.

But in a blow to the City of Casey, Cardinia shire and the other nine interface councils that were feeling the strain of their population booms, the Budget revealed that the available funding for the next two years had been reduced to $25 million.

During a visit to Pakenham on 4 May, Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said that despite the funding cut, the Growing Suburbs grants would still help councils in the fastest growing suburbs to invest in important infrastructure.

But, with just under 20 of the 76 projects funded completed, she said

The State Budget delivered on some infrastructure plans but left others dangling.

BONNY BURROWS and VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS report. the focus for the next two years would be on finishing those that were already underway.

“I guess now is the time to consolidate,” Ms Hutchins said. “(But) we haven’t by any means ended the fund.”

Cardinia shire Mayor and interface councils spokesman Brett Owen said that while the two-year commitment to the fund was welcome, the cash cut would halve the number of community projects that could be funded.

This reduction was disappointing, he said, and would be heavily felt by outer suburban communities which already had “significantly less” than inner city areas and were struggling with rate capping restrictions.

“This means communities will face a much longer wait to see vital facilities such as community, youth and childcare centres, as well as recreational facilities, in their areas,” Cr Owen said.

He said that while he was “grateful” for the projects that had been funded, there was still a significant backlog of projects which could miss out.

The ability to reduce a $9.6 billion infrastructure gap between metropolitan and outer suburbs would also affected as investment in Melbourne’s outer suburbs didn’t “reflect equal or adequate funding” to ensure infrastructure was on par, he said.

“It feels like we’ve taken two steps forward in addressing the historic underinvestment in outer metropolitan Melbourne, and now we have taken one step back,” Cr Owen said.

“Without appropriate funding and policy, the social, economic and environmental challenges on Melbourne’s fringe will only get worse.”

A “not happy” state Bass MP Brian Paynter said that the cut didn’t make sense at a time when the government was “gloating about surpluses”.

Instead he expected the fund, which

he said was a good system that worked well, to be maintained and increased in the future.

“Councils are struggling to fund infrastructure for growing suburbs as it is, particularly with rate capping,” Mr Paynter said.

As a result, he said, councils would have no choice but to put recreational infrastructure projects, which were often the lifeblood of a community, on hold.

“I know councils were planning to use the fund into the future. This decision will severely disadvantage our families and growing communities,” Mr Paynter said.

State Opposition Leader Matthew Guy said it “beggars belief” that Melbourne had four of the nation’s fastest growing corridors and yet the government was cutting funding to these areas.

“In a time where funding upgrades to infrastructure in Fitzroy, as the government is doing, they are cutting

funding to Narre and Pakenham,” Mr Guy said.

“It makes no sense given the population of Narre (Warren) and Pakenham are growing by 40 times the rate of the population of Fitzroy.”

In a time where councils have blamed rate capping for the increased pressure on local government purse strings, Mr Guy didn’t rule out the cap under a Coalition Government.

“I think local government needs to operate within its mean more effectively. I don’t think allowing them to raise rates is the answer. Local government has to be more efficient,” he said.

“Having said that, the (State) government is saying to local government ‘you can’t raise your rates’ yet (it) has raised taxes by 20 per cent, which shows the hypocrisy of their argument.”

Ms Hutchins said she was “really conscious” of the infrastructure gap between metro and suburban Melbourne and the challenges interface councils faced.

“We want to see that gap further close and we’re working with councils to do that,” Ms Hutchins said.

Mayors unite in soccer bid State award for local agency

By Victoria Stone-Meadows

Three south-east councils have forged a formal alliance to lure a national A-League soccer side to the region.

With former local Socceroo Vince Grella as the bid’s ambassador, Cardinia, Casey and Greater Dandenong’s mayors signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 4 May. Mr Grella, born and raised in Keysborough and a former junior player at Springvale City, said he was excited to help lure Melbourne’s third A-League side to “my backyard”.

“This is about an opportunity to have our own team in the south-east,” Mr Grella said.

“It would be a platform for young footballers to dream and have aspirations to play for a club where they were born and grew up.

“And for them to go on to bigger and better things.”

The bid is based on the size and passion of the greater south-eastern region. Including the cities of Frankston and Kingston, it is home to more than 1 million people.

Greater Dandenong hosts the most soccer clubs in the state - 17, including three National Premier League sides.

Casey has 15 clubs.

The Tooradin newsagency has been awarded My Local Community Newsagent Award with the town folk rallying behind their beloved newsagency.

The Tooradin newsagency, run by business partners Dianne Loft and Lyn Whittey, was nominated for the award by one or more members of the community.

“A newsagency can be a hub in the community and that shows through because there no metro finalists, so I think you can lose that atmosphere a bit in the sprawl of Melbourne,” Ms Loft said.

“We were really honoured, not only the accolades but that someone thought to nominate us.”

Ms Loft and Ms Whittey travelled to Crown Casino along with a few other members of the Tooradin community to the Victorian Newsagent’s Association’s awards night on Saturday 29 April.

The Tooradin newsagency beat out Kerang and Camperdown to take out the best community newsagency for the year award.

“It was amazing,” Ms Loft said.

“We were the first award

Cardinia Mayor Brett Owen, Casey Mayor Sam Aziz, Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti and Vince Grella. 167855 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Between the two municipalities, there’s more than 5000 registered players.

“We believe it’s the right pitch at the right time,” Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti said.

The councils propose a match-day stadium to be built within walking distance of Dandenong railway station and its Cranbourne, Pakenham and Gippsland train services.

Cr Memeti said the council was considering possible sites at Greaves Reserve and a vacant Cheltenham Road site south of the railway station.

The next step is luring private financial backers to form the bid, and possibly to help build the stadium, Cr Memeti

said.

“The councils will supply the land, the stadiums and training facilities but it’s not our role to run the club.”

The squad would train at a $40 million facility to be built at Casey Fields in Cranbourne East.

The training facility comprises a regional-level stadium pitch with three synthetic soccer fields, a natural turf field and pavilion.

It would require about $20 million of state funding, Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said.

He said the national league side would complement Casey’s partnership with Melbourne Football Club and Melbourne Stars Big Bash League team.

Dianne Loft and Lyn Whittey of the Tooradin Newsangecy celebrate with their state award. 168094 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS presented, and it was a bit nerve-racking, but after the announcement we really got to enjoy the atmosphere.”

“We were on a high, so myself, Lyn and the ladies from the pharmacy got to have a girly night out.”

Ms Loft and Ms Whittey have been running the business for over 10 years between them

and Ms Loft said she really felt a part of the fabric of Tooradin.

“Because we have been here a long time, you become part of the locals and you are appreciated by them,” she said.

“We enjoy what we do and they don’t have to go out of town for their basic needs, it’s very rewarding.”

Your bit to help

Staff from both Barton Primary School and Casey Cardinia Libraries are working together to make sure the next generation of students have the best possible access to books.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED

It’s books all ’round

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Newly established Barton Primary School has teamed up with Casey Cardinia Libraries to make sure students, families and teachers get the most out of their library experience.

When the new school in Cranbourne West opened in January, principal Andrew Felsinger realised they would need some help to set up the brand new school library.

Casey Cardinia Library CEO Chris Buckingham said the team at Cranbourne Library jumped at the chance to help the new school get

their library up and running and give the school cumminity special access to the library branch.

“The team at our Cranbourne branch were really enthusiastic about making a strong connection with Barton Primary School,” Mr Buckingham said.

“We have strongly held values built on ‘paying it forward’ and ‘looking after the neighbours’.”

In collaboration with students from Chisholm TAFE, the staff at Cranbourne Library organised a book collection for the school and

organised for the school to have the best access to the Casey Cardinia Library collection.

Staff at the library will also hold special story times for the students of Barton Primary School and ensure the school library stays well stocked with fun things to read.

“It is a great collaboration,” Mr Felsinger said.

“Our school library has been established and our whole school community is able to borrow large numbers of books directly from the Cranbourne Branch.”

Mr Buckingham said it was very important that libraries played a central role in their communities and encouraged literacy as well as community links.

“Libraries have a vital role to play encouraging lifelong learning, increasing literacy and building strong, resilient communities,” he said.

“We look forward to working with schools and community organisations right across the Casey Cardinia Region on projects that make a difference.”

Inspiring young women

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Female secondary students from across the South East were treated to an inspirational breakfast hosted by the City of Casey on Friday 28 April.

The 22nd Annual Girl Guides Victoria Women of Note Casey Mentor Breakfast hosted 75 young women, along with guest speaker Alison Saville.

The breakfast was an oppor-

tunity for young women to network and build contacts, as well as be inspired to reach their full potential in their careers.

The students had a chance to meet with and connect to women in various industries and professions and gain a better understanding of potential career paths.

Ms Saville’s success in industries ranging from thoroughbred breeding to fashion

entrepreneurialism, inspired the young attendees to follow their passion.

The breakfast also saw Kaila Baxter from St Francis Xavier College presented with the Kay Rankin Inspirational Young Woman Award.

The Year 11 student was nominated by her school for the award and will be presented with a $250 cheque.

An inspiring young woman from Cranbourne is raising money for those living in poverty in the memory of her friend Hannah who passed away in February 2017.

This is the fifth time Amy Mead, 23, has completed the Live below the Line challenge but this year has a special significance for her.

“One of the things that drew Hannah to Live Below the Line in particular is their approach to tackling poverty - education", Ms Mead said.

Along with her partner and Hannah’s mother, Ms Mead hoped to raise $1500 to help young people in impoverished nations buy textbooks, school uniforms and even train teachers.

The team, called Vale Hannah, have already smashed that goal with donations cuttingly sitting at over $1600 and well on the way to $2000.

“I can proudly say that we have beaten last year’s tally 10 times over," Ms Mead said.

“No one deserves to be born into poverty and the poverty cycle is best beaten by education, and that’s also something I love about Live below the Line.“ Ms Mead and her team, as well as thousands of other participants across the country, have spent five days living on just $2 a day - the Australian equivalent of the poverty line.

Since 2010, more than 50,000 Australians have helped raise over $10 million for education programs that help alleviate poverty across the Asia Pacific region.

Live below the Line 2017 is being run in conjunction with Oaktree - Australia’s largest youth run not-for profit organisation dedicated to the eradication of poverty.

The internationally renowned wacky driving adventure Bust Rally is coming to Australia, and they need your help to raise much-needed funds for charity.

The rally is not a race in the traditional sense, but will see participants partaking in crazy challenges and hijinks on a journey from Geelong to the Barossa valley.

The Barossa or Bust rally will have participants driving cars costing less than $1000 to amazing locations on some of the world’s best driving roads.

The journey will take three days with overnight stops in Warrnambool and Mildura and limited driving hours so drivers get the most out of their trip.

This is the inaugural Bust Rally in Australia, and the team behind the fun and wacky race are encouraging people from all over the state to get involved.

“Bust Rallies have united thousands of active, fun-seeking individuals, and with its challenges, silliness and unique team-focused ethos, camaraderie and thrills, we have no doubt that the Barossa of Bust will provide a memorable experience for drivers from Cranbourne," managing director of Bust Rallies Australia Stuart Chesneau said.

Participating teams are encouraged to fundraise for a charity of their choice with the race scheduled for 12-14 October.

STUNNING NEW DISPLAY HOME

CLYDE NORTH

FROM PAGE 1 THE Clare by Rawdon Hill wouldn’t look out of place in the rural landscape of Provence, France, or Long Island, New York.

In fact the facade of the stunning home is called The Hampton.

The elegant facade is an understated mix of weatherboard and render and features three stately moulded pillars supporting the front verandah.

The elegant feel continues through to the wide entrance hall and the immaculate master bedroom which lies behind frosted double doors.

The master in the Platinum package includes feature wall panelling, large aluminium awning windows facing the street, plush carpet and an impressive walkin wardrobe.

The design also includes a stylish ensuite with double vanity, deep draws, stone bench tops, tiled shower base, tiled shower niche and back to wall toilet.

Dark timber floors throughout the main living areas contrast beautifully with the pale walls and cabinetry.

The French provincial-style kitchen and adjoining butler’s pantry are a stunning mix of chic elegance and functionality.

A feature mantle arches above the Smeg stainless-steel upright dual-fuel cooker.

Stone reconstituted bench tops and panelled cabinet doors and internal plantation shutters add a feel of stylish glamour. The kitchen flows to an open plan dining/living area and through to the outdoor entertaining area.

Three further bedrooms, a theatre room, spacious laundry, family bathroom with freestanding bath, separate powder room and double garage complete the home.

Trying to select which inclusions to mention is difficult because of the extensive list on offer including ducted heating, nine-foot ceilings, evaporative cooling, LED

downlights throughout, premium flooring including porcelain tiling and ducted vacuum.

Sales consultant Jillian Craig said it was a joy to watch buyers fall in love with The Clare.

“They love the Hampton look and the spacious layout,” Ms Craig said.

“It is proving to be a very popular design.

“People walk in and say that it makes them feel relaxed and that it ticks all the boxes.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast function special guest speaker, Graeme Joy asked business leaders if they knew where their North Pole was?

Special guest speaker Graeme Joy delighted the Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast with his parallels between the success in expeditions and success in business.

Picture: ROB CAREW

North Pole of success

By Rebecca Skilton Whether you're on the ice or in the office, it's the construction of your team that will get you home.

That's what the first Australian to ski to the North Pole told a Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast function on Wednesday 10 May. Graeme Joy drew remarkable parallels between success in frozen expeditions and success in business.

Described by Saxton Speakers Bureau as ‘one of the most focused, effective and highly ranked motivational speakers in Australasia’, Graeme drew from his experience as a joint leader and navigator of his international North Pole expedition, as well as a number of other treks to Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, Alaska’s Mount Denali and his Kayaking trip in Greenland.

Speaking of team, leadership and independent participation, Graeme’s outdoor expeditions cast a strikingly similar reflection of the interior workings of a professional working environment, the similarities beginning from the conception of the expedition’s vision.

“We wanted arrive at the North Pole on the first attempt with all our team members something that 95 per cent of groups fail to do,” Graeme explained.

“We had to be willing to push our goals and beware of idea assassins. They make expeditions fail; we had to take

them on without losing our vision.”

In order to achieve that vision, the expedition team required a recruitment process, setting a list of criteria, skills and experience they were looking for within a candidate. As a form of outsourcing, Graeme and his team spoke to expedition clubs and asked for their best applicants. Much like the business world, Graeme admitted the task was both intense and tactical.

“We needed to know how they were going to fit into our team’s culture,” Graeme explained. “It was brutal and strategic.”

Brutal yet essential, Graeme identified that the right people were “the fabric of making a team operate well.”

Using examples of past team members, Graeme highlighted the need for an analytical type of person who dealt with facts and logic, the driver of the group who took charge and led, the amiable individual who coached, counselled and supported team members, as well as the expressive type who provided excitement and involvement.

“If you have the same type of people, you will burn out,” Graeme said. “Getting the right people for your culture and team is the key to success.”

With a wealth of the region’s business leaders in his audience, Graeme emphasised that a team required a frontrunner who was ambitious, a good listener, consistent and was both

familiar with and trusted their fellow team-mates.

Also tapping into the leaders of the group, Graeme reminded the audience that whether in the middle of the arctic or the office, the need for training was vital.

Dealing with frostbite, lifethreatening polar bears, intense terrain and severe injuries, Graeme stressed that preparation along with each member’s individual expertise and knowledge aided the completion of the expedition.

“You have to trust your good people and empower them to do their best,” Graeme said. “(Because when something goes wrong you) need to know you can survive and keep travelling forward ... If you haven’t put (unforeseen circumstances) into your equation you are going to fail.”

Graeme and his expedition team were in the five per cent of groups that make it to the North Pole on the first attempt with all their team members.

While they had collected injuries and faced a number of challenging circumstances, each team member worked and made it there together, something that, whether you’re on the ice or in the office, is a determining factor in acquiring success.

“Ask your people; where is our North Pole? Do they know where you’re headed?” Graeme asked. “(Because) it’s what you set up in the culture of your team that will matter.”

Casey and Cardinia business leaders gathered to share business ideas and listen to guest speaker Graeme Joy.

Entertainment �� Dining, what’s on, bands and more…

Dracula’s tale chills the blood From the company behind the multi-award winning, national touring productions of 1984 and Animal Farm comes a new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s twisted tale Dracula.

Queensland production company Shake and Stir is hitting Victoria with the gripping, bloody classic, with the critically acclaimed production set to take the stage at the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Tuesday 6 June.

Audience members are set to jump out of their chairs in fright as young Lawyer Jonathan Harker visits Castle Dracula deep within the Carpathian Mountains.

Receiving strange hospitality from his mysterious host, Jonathan becomes alone and trapped within the castle walls and discovers that Dracula wants more than his presence at the dinner table he might also be the main course.

Dracula then travels to London on a quest for seduction, true love and above all - blood.

Shake and Stir’s adaption of Dracula has already made its way across Brisbane, with The Sunday Mail stating, that “there’s no stopping Brisbane’s Shake and Stir as it presents another standout production and reaffirms its spot as one of the country’s most exciting theatre companies”.

Shake and Stir takes a bite out of the classic.

Theatre goers can catch Shake and Stir’s new adaption of Dracula on Tuesday 6 June at either 11am or 8pm at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, 40 Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham.

To find out more call 5624 2456 or for bookings visit www.wgac.com.au.

Mist surrounds art exploits Presented by The Tasmania Theatre Company, Straightjacket Productions and Karralyka Centre, the scintillating comedy-drama Bakersfield Mist is set to take centre stage at the Cardinia Cultural Centre this June.

Based on true events, Stephen Sachs’ Bakersfield Mist will leave audience members asking themselves if the true value of art in the eyes of the beholder?

The drama unfolds as Maude (Julie Nihill), an unemployed bartender, purchases a painting for a few bucks from an op-shop.

Despite almost trashing it, she then comes to believe that it is a Jackson Pollock piece which is worth millions. In fact she’s certain it is.

But when world-class art expert Lionel Percy (John Wood) flies over from New York and arrives at her trailer park home in Bakersfield to authenticate the painting, he really has no idea what he’s about to discover.

Inspired by true events, Bakersfield Mist is set to take centre stage at the Cardinia Cultural Centre this June.

Based on a true story, Bakersfield Mist is a comedy set in the present day.

With The Times labelling it as “a thoroughly entertaining 85 minutes of quipping arguing, boozing, opining, fist fighting and soul-baring”, Bakersfield Mist isn’t one to be missed!

Theatre goers can catch Stephen Sachs’ Bakersfield Mist on Tuesday 13 June at 8pm at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, 40 Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham.

Big dance segregation

By David Nagel Mixed reaction has greeted AFL South East’s decision to host this year’s South East Football Netball League (SEFNL) grand final under lights at Casey Fields on Saturday 16 September.

In a massive break from tradition, the SEFNL’s showcase football event will now be held at a neutral venue, under lights, for the very first time.

Previous grand finals have been held at the venue of member clubs, with football and netball running simultaneously throughout the day. All SEFNL netball grand finals, as well as reserves and under-19 football will now be played during the day, with senior football to follow.

AFL South East region general manager John Anderson made the announcement last week.

“There were two stages involved,” said Anderson, who took over the general manager’s role from Jeremy Bourke at the start of the year.

“First, I was curious to know why the league wasn’t playing its grand final at its premium venue. “There were differing reasons for that, but once we overcame those it all came down to common sense, it was a no-brainer really.

“AFL South East already has a grand final on the same day with the Nepean League playing at Frankston Park, and the neighbouring Ellinbank and West Gippsland leagues also share the same timeslot.

“It just wasn’t great programming.

This divides all the clashes and will allow a great crowd to attend.”

The venue for the netball has raised discussion, and the ire of some netball stalwarts, with the courts at Casey Fields being further removed from the football than at previous grand final venues since the league first started in 2005.

It’s roughly a 400-metre walk from the main ground at Casey Fields to the netball courts.

“There was a bit of pushback from netball,” Anderson acknowledged.

“But I think everything is close enough where people will be able to watch some great netball action and then work their way across for the football at night.”

But Beaconsfield netball coach Simon O’Shanassy disagrees, labelling the decision a disgrace.

“It’s a spur of the moment decision that reeks of hypocrisy and detracts from the community spirit that we’ve all tried to engender at our clubs,” O’Shanassy said.

“We’re all gobsmacked. The community spirit, the great relationship between footy and netball on the biggest day of the season, they’ve buried it in one hit. There’s been no consultation with netball and it reiterates my opinion that the sport just isn’t being taken seriously.”

In another first for the SEFNL competition, the football and netball preliminary finals will also be played at Casey Fields, during the day, on Saturday 9 September.

Hosting rights for the first two weeks of the finals will be tendered out to clubs in due course.

Cranbourne will need to bounce back

By Nick Creely Cranbourne has begun its 2017 VFL season with a 46-point loss to VU Western Spurs at Casey Fields on Saturday.

The Spurs were dominant in the firsthalf, holding the Eagles scoreless and unable to find an avenue to goal.

The second-half was a lot more positive however, with Stephanie Brown kicking two goals and players such as Holly Whitford, youngster Darcy Guttridge and Parris Stahl having an impact on the contest.

But the loss has been further compounded by the injury of skipper Romy

Timmins, who is expected to a miss up to a month with a knee injury.

Kirsten McLeod is another who may miss next week in what would be a bitter blow to the Eagles.

Eagles’ coach Sein Clerihan was disappointed to lose the opening match, but says the positives outweigh the negatives.

“We got a lot out of it - you've got to remember that’s the first time they’ve all played a game together - it’s been so hard, the AFL girls haven’t been able to start with us until two weeks ago, and as well, the AFL Academy has been taking some of our girls for the last four months

every Thursday night,” he said.

“In three to four weeks, we’ll be at our best - we showed signs in patches they’ve had just four training runs and one practice match.

“We’ll be okay, there is a light at the end of the tunnel - all the young kids that have come through the TAC, they held their own which was good to see - a lot of our players did well, but we’re probably three to four weeks from everyone else at the moment.”

The Eagles will look to bounce back on Sunday with a clash against Diamond Creek at Plenty War Memorial Park.

Pramesh Prasad shows off his three gold medals during last month's World Masters Games in Auckland.

Picture: SUPPLIED It was a truly magical week for the Casey Masters Athletics Club in late April, with Pramesh Prasad taking out three gold medals at the recent World Masters Games in Auckland, New Zealand.

The event, held from 23 April to 30 April, featured athletes from all over the world, competing in over 28 different sports.

Pramesh, who has made quite a name for himself in Victorian Masters Athletics competitions, took out the World Championship titles in three different events, and also managed personal best times in two events in the M40-44 Race Walk.

The avid walker, who is a part of the Casey Masters Athletics Club based in Casey Fields each Monday night, tasted glory in the 1500 metres with a time of 6:29:69, 3000 metres with a time of 13:45:40 and in the 5000 metres with an impressive time of 24:57:30 Pramesh will now head to Darwin in June, where he will defend the 3000, 5000 and 10km walking titles at the Australian Masters Championships.

If anyone is interested in joining the Casey Athletics Club, they meet every Monday night at Casey Fields from 7pm.

A-League push on for trio

By Nick Creely It was a landmark day last Thursday in the centre of Dandenong, with the news that the three local councils of Greater Dandenong, Cardinia and Casey will band together to bring an A-League side to the region.

With the mayors of all three councils in attendance signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), a large number of local clubs - stretching from Springvale to Bunyip - were in attendance to show their support, including a representative from Pakenham United.

With the Football Federation Australia (FFA) considering expanding the national competition, which currently has ten sides, including one in New Zealand and two based in Melbourne, the south-east could well be the one.

Major cities around the country, such as Geelong, Hobart, Brisbane and Canberra are other suitors looking to make their name in the national competition.

With the FFA looking to eventually stretch out the number of teams to at least 12 in the coming years, it is speculated that a second tier could become a reality if two new teams enter the competition.

And football in the south-east is booming, with a side in the region going from a pipe dream to a reality - crowds are large and the quality is outstanding, all that was left was to bring a professional side to the area that everyone could buy into.

There are some supremely talented footballers in the south-east area plying their trade in the National Premier League (NPL), waiting for their chance.

One of the first names that could be on the list when talking about a new ALeague side could be Dandenong Thunder’s very own Brandon Barnes, arguably

the finest striker in the state currently not on an A-League roster.

As one of the fastest growing corridors in Australia, soccer has been rising steadily in the south-east, with a total of 71 clubs, which includes the City of Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland Regions and 11,568 registered players within those clubs.

Cardinia Mayor Brett Owen said the overall strength of football in the vast south-east area is reason enough to sway the FFA to accept their bid.

“We strongly believe that south east Melbourne is the best location for a new A-League, W-League and National Youth League clubs,” he said.

“We will commit to developing talent recruitment pathways for the community and promoting the game within the region - and beyond. We will use this model to encourage other LGAs such as Kingston, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula to be a part of our vision and aims.

“We will connect the football community in south east Melbourne to another football stronghold in South East Victoria, namely Gippsland, to create a regional powerhouse for the game and the League Clubs that ultimately will represent the fans living in these regions.

“Football can be a positive force in the community. It can help people engage and feel like they belong. It can be an inspiration for newly arrived Australians, for all members of our community.”

As well as a professional A-League side, the south-east bid also includes a WLeague side - the women’s national competition - as well as a youth side which is likely to see many youngsters from around the region finally realise their dreams.

Brandon Barnes may well be the first local star to capture their dream if the FFA approve the south-east Picture: ROB CAREW bid. 164362

After being beaten convincingly by Hume City last week, the Cavs were hell-bent on bouncing back, and were in strong touch against the similarly placed Devils.

As he has all season, Brandon Polk was devastating around the court, finishing with 18 points and a dozen rebounds in an impressive display.

Four other players, Mitch Chapman (15 points), Ben Louis (14), Raheem Lemons (16) and Michael Mcinnes (10) were all in double digits in the win.

Stingrays lose the sting thing

By Nick Creely TAC CUP REVIEW - ROUND 6 For three-and-a-half quarters it was a game that was controlled by the Dandenong Stingrays.

Yet two pieces of individual brilliance in the dying moments meant another four points eluded them on Saturday.

After the Rays registered the first major of the game, it seemed like a win was inevitable and the momentum was impenetrable.

The Rays were inaccurate but far more potent early, kicking 2.6 in the breeze to just a solitary point in the first quarter, before the Knights bit back and regained some ground by half time.

Some smooth passages of play ensured the Rays were able to climb out to a healthy four goal buffer, but the Knights started shutting them down once inaccuracy become an issue, zapping them of confidence and allowing the Knights all the momentum heading into the last.

Despite the Rays showing intent to score in the final quarter, the Knights, albeit from a few questionable free kicks, were rampaging home and doing all the attacking.

Leading until the 25th minute of the fourth quarter, the dam walled finally burst wide open as the Knights stole victory from the jaws of defeat.

Slick moving midfielder and

Knights skipper Nick Coffield finally gave them the match-winning lead with a brilliant running goal from outside 50, before a game-saving tackle from Ollie Wilson deep in the Rays attack as they looked certain to kick a goal sealed victory.

“When you lead all bar the last minute of the game, it’s pretty deflating for the group when that happens - in some critical moments of the game we let ourselves down and didn’t take our opportunities, and that’s what happens,” Stingrays coach Craig Black said.

“To the Knights’ credit, they stuck at it all day and pounced at the right time - we just have to get better as a group in some of our decision making in critical times of the game.

“But our young backmen stood up to the test, and it just came down to sheer volume of numbers and they were under the pump a bit.”

Black was particularly disappointed with the side’s first quarter, with the Rays dominating the game but not putting enough score on the board.

“Our first quarter we kicked with the breeze and we kicked 2.6 - that’s not ideal - scoreboard pressure is just so crucial - even at three quarter time, I felt like we just needed another goal - we made errors and just conceded goals,” he said.

Stingrays’ defender Angus Paterson (12 disposals, four contested marks) was a shining light in the absence of a few senior heads, while Tom De Kon-

ing once again showed immense promise in his forward role, kicking three goals and competing hard around the ground.

The ultra-young Rays, missing even more cavalry than last week, were also well serviced by the impressive Tom Young and solid midfielder Will Hamill, while Hunter Clark continues his emergence into the elite bracket of draft prospects.

“It was (Angus) Paterson’s best game of the year as a key defender, Hunter Clark was great, and most of our leaders did really well,” Black said.

Comets slide down ladder Demons are in a bit of strife FFV SOCCER WRAP REVIEW - ROUND 6 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTHEAST The Casey Comets have slumped to 11th on the ladder after another disappointing loss, this time to Manningham United 1-2 on Friday night.

In front of a strong home crowd, the Comets were unable to stop the in-form Blues, who are now third on the table.

In other matches, Mornington lost 1-2 to South Springvale, Malvern City drew 2-2 with Mooroolbark SC, Langwarrin won 2-0 over St Kilda City, Morwell Pegasus pipped Clifton Hill 1-0, and Caulfield defeated Warragul United 2-1.

STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTHEAST Berwick City travelled to Heatherton United on Friday night looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season.

City started brightly and in the first minute of the game should have gone ahead when David Di Iorio just had the keeper to beat but the shot went straight at him.

Not long after Orlando Mejias also spurned another good opportunity to put Berwick in front and despite the continued domination and numerous attempts on goal, the away team could not find a way past the excellent Heatherton goalkeeper who was making his first appearance after a three-year suspension.

Berwick were made to rue

By Nick Creely

Berwick City's unbeaten run came to an end on Friday Picture: ROB CAREW night. 166493 their missed chances early in the second half when two goals in quick succession left them shell shocked.

A wonderful long range free kick from Alex Torelli late in the game was not enough to salvage a point for City who suffered for their first defeat of the campaign and drop to fifth on the ladder.

The final score was Heatherton United 2 - Berwick City 1.

The Reserves won 3-0 with goals from Hayden Nuhanovic, Jayden Zahra and Guilerme Ribeiro.

This week Berwick are back at home on Saturday night against North Caulfield.

STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH Pakenham United have put in almighty effort to draw level with league leaders Sandown Li-

ons 1-1 on Saturday afternoon.

The Lions came into the game with 28 goals scored and barely conceding a goal in a faultless opening month of the season, and the United were brave all day, denying the Lions scoring opportunities through outstanding team defence, only letting one goal slip through the goal-keeper’s grasp.

Paul Byrne was the lone goal-scorer for the United in a promising day for the club.

VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 4 The highly-rated Casey Demons have fallen to 1-3 and in need of a quick form turnaround, after losing by 11-points in a fierce contest against Werribee on Sunday afternoon.

Travelling to the other side of Melbourne for the second consecutive week, the Demons showed plenty of spirit and ferocity at the contest early, but it was the Tigers who got the early six-point buffer at quarter time.

Only a minute into the second quarter, Tigers’ small forward Lindsay Thomas found himself reported for a head high bump on Corey Maynard, resulting in the utility being stretchered off the ground.

Demons’ midfielder Jake Melksham was also reported twice throughout the match for separate indiscretions.

Thomas’ bump sparked the Demons into action, with Dion Johnstone and Declan Keilty almost immediately registering goals and setting up a 15-point lead at half-time.

But down three rotations after half-time due to injuries, including that of AFL-listed players Maynard (head) and James Harmes (eye), the Demons ran out of legs despite fighting hard, just holding out to a narrow four-point lead at three-quarter-time.

It was a fierce contest between the Dees and the Tigers on Sunday.

Melksham (30 disposals, 1 goal) was the Dees’ most prolific midfielder, Jack Trengove (22 disposals) continues to push for a senior recall and was typically tough in the clinches, vice-captain Jimmy Munro did a terrific job in quelling Lindsay Thomas to just three goals and the slick Billy Stretch (25 disposals) was all class on the wing.

Dion Johnstone, the 18-yearold taken at Pick 64 in last year’s National Draft, was also ultra-impressive kicking his first two VFL goals and applying some elite pressure.

Redbacks go down fighting

By David Nagel

Tooradin’s Emma Iacovou and ROC’s Georgie Douglas fight hard for possession at PICTURES STEWART CHAMBERS Tooradin. 167972

The weather gods turned nasty for SEFNL netballers on Saturday as bitterly cold conditions hit the south east corridor of Melbourne.

The most interesting clash of the weekend was between Beaconsfield and Hampton Park, grand finalist against Narre Warren over the last two years.

The Eagles prevailed by five goals, 42-37, in a game that could have serious repercussions going forward. We all know the Eagles are a genuine threat this season while the Redbacks are an interesting case study.

A plethora of new faces descended on Robert Booth Reserve in the off-season - the most impressive performance of their season.

“We’re really excited about the second half of the year,” said Redbacks coach Kylie Kibble.

“I think it’s taken until now for the girls to gel, this was our best game and we started working hard for each other after half time. Beaconsfield is a really strong side so to only go down by five, have Shannon (Rennison) out, and win the last two quarters was a really great effort I thought.”

Beacy started with all guns blazing, Jasmine Jones (centre and wing attack) once again brilliant through the midcourt while Britnee Tyers (goal defence) and Dani Cameron (goal keeper) made scoring difficult for the Redbacks.

Karli Foster (GK) and Brooke Keily (GK) were terrific defenders for the visitors.

A devastating second-quarter blitz has set Doveton on the path to a 53-38 victory over Pakenham at Toomuc Reserve.

The Doves led 14-8 at the first break but piled on 16-4 in a timely reminder of their premiership aspirations. Liz Nicol (goal shooter) and Shae Gee (goal attack) shared the goal-scoring duties for the Doves, fed beautifully by Hayley Stewart (C) and their exquisitely-skilled coach Liz Edwards (WA).

The Lions were beaten but very brave in defeat, cutting an 18-goal margin at half time back to 15 by the final whistle. Kyra Esler (GA), Katrina Meredith (C), Renae Joiner (WA) and Keely Wright (wing defence) all enjoyed new roles in a much-improved second-half display.

Tooradin’s perfect season continues to roll on nicely after the Seagulls secured a 53-29 win over ROC on the banks of the Westernport.

Interleague battle looming

By David Nagel In the words of the late great ‘Louie the Lip’ Lou Richards, it’s going to be a real ‘ring a ding ding’ battle when the South East Football Netball League hosts Hampden in the AFL Victoria Community Championships at Casey Fields on Saturday.

The 1pm showdown will see an interleague legend in SEFNL coach Michael ‘Jock’ Holland lock horns with former AFL great Jonathan Brown, with both men looking to elevate their leagues into a top-10 force in the state.

Holland has been there and done it before with the Demons, rising from a VCFL ranking of 17 in 2012 to a ranking of 10 after victories over Nepean, Wimmera, Bellarine and Sunraysia.

The inclusion of metropolitan leagues in Eastern, Essendon, Northern and Western saw the Demons drop to 14 last year before a stunning victory over Murray at Mulwala saw them jump back to 12.

Holland knows only too well it will take every ounce of effort to bounce back into the top 10 against a fully committed Hampden.

“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.

“I’ve been talking it up, that I firmly believe we have the goods to

Berwick star and former Casey Scorpion Michael Riseley will be a key player for SEFNL against Picture: ROB CAREW Hampden at Casey Fields. 166733 be one of the top five leagues in the state and that our best will be good enough.”

Holland has never been scared to give players an opportunity, with 81 players being part of the unbeaten five-year streak since 2012.

Jake Bowd, Sam Blackwood and Luke McKenna would appear to be locks to make their debuts in the back half, while Bryce Rutherford, Trent Cody, Nick Battle and

Nick Lang will bring elite class to the midfield brigade. Michael Collins lines up for his ninth interleague campaign, his first in 2006 when he was a team-mate of Holland!

This squad is one of the strongest Hampden has assembled in recent memory, with a deep contingent of experienced stars.

Former AFL listed players Tim McIntire (Adelaide), Rory Taggert (Melbourne), Daniel Nicholson

(Melbourne) and Josh Saunders (St Kilda) will join VFL listed players James Gow (North Ballarat) and Jarrod Korewha (North Ballarat) as key members of the squad.

Cost of admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students and aged pensioners with kids under 16 free.

Football records will be available at the gate for $2.50.

tiative. With Amy Jones (C) running rampant through the centre and Mel Overdyk (GK) and Laura Quinn (GD) controlling things in defence, the Kangas led by a goal, 9-8 at quarter time.

But the Seagulls turned things around, and did so quickly, with a dominant 14-7 second term.

Sara Duncan (WD) made a huge difference after coming on at the first break, providing Shona Wells (C) and Emma Iacovou (WA) with some perfect passing going forward.

And Narre Warren has bounced back to the winners list in emphatic style with a fast-starting 64-45 victory over Berwick at Kalora Park.

Stung by losses to Beaconsfield and Tooradin, the Magpies started in blistering fashion scoring 18 to eight in the first quarter. Gabby Dwyer (GS) was sensational for the Magpies scoring 16 goals in the opening term and finishing with 48 for the match.

Abuk Kenyang (GS) continues to impress for the Wickers, matching Dwyer with 12 goals in the second quarter on her way to 34 for the match.

Cranbourne had the bye.

Audi is trim and terrific

By Ewan Kennedy The all-new Audi Q2 is a stylish machine that is spacious for its class, easy to drive and park and a good midsize load hauler.

At the front the Audi Q2 follows its own distinct direction when compared with the others in the current Audi range. It’s rather more vertical and squared off, and doesn't have the sharp angles.

The big news is that that Audi Q2 comes with a huge choice of customisation options.

There are 12 body colours. The door mirrors can either match the rest of the body or take a different shade.

Front grilles also offers colour choices and can even have a contrasting shade in their surround.

Likewise the lower sections of the bumper can be chosen in different colours. The door-sill trims are available in several shapes depending on the Audi Line chosen.

The extended C-pillar design that Audi stylists have called the ‘C-Blade’ can be ordered in a variety of finishes and colours.

Even better, they can be removed and replaced with new ones so easily that many owners choose to keep a couple in their garage and swap them to suit different occasions.

Inside, the Audi’s trim is offered in several styles and materials; leather, Alcantara and cloth all come into play.

Seats can be in single or two-tone and have different trim designs and choices of stitching. Brushed aluminium is available as an option for all Q2 Lines and is standard on the S line sport package.

The two-zone instrument panel usually has the lower zone colour coordinated with the seat trim.

The centre console and knee pad colours are to buyers’ choices. And it goes on … and on.

Good aerodynamics aren’t easy to achieve in SUV bodies but Audi has managed a low coefficient of drag of just 0.30.

The Audi MMI (Multi Media Interface) system is neatly integrated into the Q2 and is operated through a 7.0inch tablet-look fixed screen above the centre of the dash area.

It’s fast and reasonably easy to use, with high-quality sounds providing excellent entertainment.

All Australian imports have a seven-speed, dual-clutch auto. The unit on the 2.0 quattro variants is a new design with faster shifts and smoother takeup at ultra-slow speeds, such as when parking. However, the 1.4-litre is fitted with the older version of the S tronic, at least for the time being.

Model range

Audi’s all-new Q2 can be ordered a staggering number of body and interior ways.

The 1.4 engine drives only through the front wheels, the 2.0-litre units are connected to all four wheels through Audi’s famed quattro AWD system.

There is good space in the front seats, they’re easy to enter and leave and the driving position is pleasing high, without going to the extremes of a genuine 4WD. The rear seats are marginal in legroom for adults and some compromises will have to be made with those in the front if tall travellers are on board.

Boot space at 405 litres is good and the floor can be set at two levels, to either provide security for smallish objects under it, or for tall cargo.

Around town and when punted along with a bit of spirit it rose to seven to nine litres per 100 kilometres, which is more than acceptable.

Ride comfort is very good and generally quiet, though Aussie coarse-chip can produce the sort of road noise that

seems to trouble many German cars.

Handling is competent enough, with high levels of road grip. However this is obviously a small SUV due to its higher centre of gravity. Feel through the steering is too light for our tastes and is on the dead side when initially moving off the straight ahead position.

The Q2’s ground clearance of 148 mm isn’t much higher than that of typical hatches and sedans.

We didn’t attempt any off-road running, but it does have very short overhangs so quarto all-wheel-drive Q2s may be able to tackle dirt roads and fire trails in the great Australian bush.

We were surprised to find a somewhat old-fashioned head-up display fitted to Audi Q2, however it works well enough and that’s probably what matters.

Audi’s out-there personalisation program is aimed at getting younger people into the showrooms: single, couples and those with young children looking for more than mere transport in their family car.

All eyes on humble Hyundai Hyundai says it refuses to treat i30 owners as second-class automotive citizens and says it gives potential buyers of its third-generation goodies which are usually within the domain of more expensive models.

The entry-level Active variant, starting at $20,950 plus on-road costs, is $500 less than the model it replaces, despite having $2000 of extra standard features.

These include a fully integrated satellite navigation system with 8.0-inch touch screen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and DAB+ digital radio.

It also has 16-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlamps, hill-start assist and tyre pressure monitoring.

New i30 Active has a 2.0-litre direct-injection engine developing 13 kW more power and 28 Nm more torque than the 1.8-litre MPi engine it replaces.

As well as the i30 Active there are also Elite, Premium, SR and SR Premium variants. Alloy wheels debut as standard across the i30 range, with 16 and 17-inch alloys on comfort models (Active, Elite and Premium) and 18s on sports variants (SR and SR Premium).

The new i30’s on-road dynamics have benefited from exhaustive development for Australian conditions and driver preferences by Hyundai Australia’s chassis development team.

Greater use of lightweight highstrength steel has increased body rigidity over the outgoing model while achieving a 28 kg lighter body-in-

The latest version of Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture styling has a cascading grille. white weight and use of aeronautical industry-style structural adhesives contributes to the i30’s lighter, stronger body.

The latest version of Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture styling introduces the company’s new cascading grille which, we are told, is designed to represent the flow of molten steel.

The grille is piano black with a contrasting chrome surround. In Elite, Premium and SR variants, the grille incorporates chrome-plated dots and a satin chrome surround.

A long(ish) bonnet is reinforced by a line running from the new-design headlights to the shapelier, Tucsonstyle tailgate. A roof-mounted sharkfin antenna and swept-back roof spoil-

er add a look of prestige.

This is amplified by machine-faced wheels for Elite and Premium, and sporty twin-spoke 18s on the SR and SR Premium variants. Both the latter boast twin exhaust tips in the blackedout rear lower area.

The sporting intent is extended to the passenger cabin with exclusive sports front seats with extended bolsters offering greater lateral support and distinctive red seatbelts.

The 8.0-inch tablet-style multimedia display, mounted high on the dashboard, is within reach of both driver and front passenger.

Also in full focus of the driver is the Supervision dash cluster, featuring a 4.2-inch colour TFT LCD display,

which displays a range of trip computer information, as well as system status and visual alerts from SmartSense and other safety systems.

It can also show turn-by-turn directions from the on-board satellite navigation. Supervision cluster is standard on SR, SR Premium, Elite, and Premium models.

Versatility carries through to the boot, where on SR, Elite, and Premium models the rigid floor can be mounted at two different heights.

The lower position maximises the 395-litre cargo volume, while the upper height allows the rear seats to be folded completely flat.

New i30 carries Hyundai’s comprehensive SmartSense driver assistance package offering significant passive and active safety technology upgrades.

These include autonomous emergency braking (AED) and forward

collision warning, blind spot detection with lane change assist, driver attention alert, lane keeping assist and rear cross-traffic alert.

Smart cruise control and emergency stop signal are also in the mix.

Also across the i30 range is electronic stability control, which includes traction control, anti-lock braking with electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist and hill-start assist.

A rear-view camera with guidelines is complemented by rear park assist sensors, while Premium variants add four-sensor front park assist.

Seven airbags include driver and passenger airbags, front side (thorax) airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and driver’s knee airbag.

During a launch drive zig-zagging the border between NSW and Victoria near Albury a selection of new Hyundai i30s were put through their paces and generally lived up to expectations.

We began with the i30 Active and enjoyed the 2.0-litre petrol engine’s extra power and torque over its 1.8 predecessor to produce a spritely-yetstress-free cruise in the country.

The 1.6D auto slowed the pace, and with a heavier feel to the front end, it also tended to be at the mercy of undulating surfaces where it gently bounced at times.

Settling into the sports seats of an SR manual lifted the spirits as the i30 provided a satisfying throaty engine note.

The Hyundai range is available for a test drive at Berwick Hyundai, 34 Kangan Drive, Berwick. Phone 9707 1212.
