St Patrick's Primary School.

Decades of sound teaching Principal Anne Martin with major award winners at the Hallam Senior College 's Year 12 Graduation Night.

The year 2016 was the 150th anniversary of the commencement of St Patrick’s School on its current site - a significant milestone which makes St Patrick’s one of the earliest schools in this area.

Principal Mick O’Brien said St Patrick’s provided an atmosphere that gave each child a sense of selfworth and provided encouragement, in a secure environment.

“I believe that children learn best when they are happy - when the learning is relevant to their lives and to their stage of development and readiness. They learn when there are good relationships among those involved in the learning process. This will obviously include parents as the primary educators of their children.

“The education programme provided by teachers must take account

of the individual needs of each child and build independent, empowered learners who are risk takers and deep thinkers. Explicit teaching and support of each child must target specific needs for each individual.

“Thus an explicit, coherent, sequential plan for curriculum delivery will be enabled, where teachers have an understanding of the continuum of learning and where each child sits on that continuum.

“Differentiation will be a requisite part of each teacher’s documentation and planning. Learning experiences for all children must be engaging and meaningful and students need to be able to articulate clearly the intention of what it is they are learning and how they will know that they have achieved this."

St Patrick’s Primary School 136 Princes Highway Pakenham We believe that education should centre on the individual, firstly as a member of a family, then a school and finally a parish community. Within this community (which includes students, parents, teachers, pastors and friends) each person has the right to dignity and respect, as well, of course, as the best educational experiences available.

OPEN NIGHT

Through the development of faith in themselves, in others and in a loving God, our school endeavours to build hope for the future in each young person.

Each is expected to seek to fulfill his or her own potential – be it academic, creative, physical, social or religious – to the fullest possible extent.

The participation and involvement of parents in defining, sharing and developing this vision and process, is a vital link in what might be termed the ‘educational chain’.

School tours will be run each Thursday from 25th May to and including 29th June commencing at 9:45am

At St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School, learning is about more than just what takes place in the classroom.

St Paul’s has pastoral care structures so that each child is well known and can develop meaningful relationships with adults and other students.

Utilising ‘Trust Mapping’, an online survey mapping tool that identifies students who are not feeling connected in Years 3 to 9 and also Smartabase, an online wellness software used in Year 8; St Paul’s takes a proactive approach in regard to so-

cial and emotional issues that typically arise in adolescence, and identifies where appropriate support may be required.

Year 7 students take part in an extended transition program during Year 6 that includes meeting senior staff in enrolment interviews, receiving individual primary school visits from the head of Year 7, friendship morning in July to meet future peers, and a three-day orientation program in December.

In term one, students attend a camp run by peer support leaders who guide, mediate, support

and encourage students, helping them to have a confident start at secondary school.

Currently over 90 students travel to St Paul’s from the Cardinia Shire on two St Paul’s buses.

Is bullying an inevitable part of school life?

The potential for bullying is certainly always present in schools because of inherent power differences when children of different size and strength are put in the same place.

Pete Wells, principal at the Pakenham campus of Chairo Christian School, said: “Kids are still developing social and cognitive skills, and don’t always have the maturity to cope with the stresses that exist in a community, or to self-regulate behaviour that can be impulsive, selfish or mean.

“But all these factors don’t mean that a school should settle for anything less than a well-functioning community where everyone feels safe, valued and able to develop to their potential.”

Mr Wells is himself the father of three boys.

“Any of us who are parents know that we don’t have to teach our children to misbehave! Those motivations are already within the child.

“Instead, we have to work hard to ensure that our children learn to

speak kindly and politely, to share with others, to show courage and compassion, and to resist the urge to lash out.”

The foundations for character development, positive relationships and productive learning at Chairo are defined by the school’s Code of Respect, which requires students to agree to respect others, themselves, authority and property, together with respecting the privilege to teach and learn, and respecting Chairo and its Christian foundations.

“I won’t say that bullying never happens in a community of several hundred children,” Mr Wells said.

“However, it is not something that is regular or persistent. It gets dealt with.

“Our caring staff members are committed to the Code of Respect.

We need to have a school community where parents feel they can place their children with complete trust that they will be looked after.

“Why would you settle for less?”

Contact Chairo Christian School on 5942 5632.

Chairo’s code of respect is helpful for encouraging character development, positive relationships and positive learning.

Fix Rix Road plea

Kinder fund-raising gets a welcome boost

By Helena Adeloju Pakenham Heights Kindergarten has received a welcome boost to its playground restoration fundraising efforts.

Barry Plant Real Estate agent Terri Fellows presented a giant cheque for $500 to the kindergarten on Friday 28 April.

“I just want to do whatever I can to help the Pakenham community because these children are our future,” Ms Fellows said.

The donation comes after Car-

dinia council notified the kindergarten earlier this year that much of the original playground equipment was no longer safe.

The 40-year-old wooden playground is currently cordoned off until enough money can be raised to restore or replace it.

The old play equipment has been used by hundreds of children over the past four decades with little or no maintainence.

Pakenham Heights Kindergarten fundraising committee member Emma Spoard, whose son Thomas

attends the kindergarten, said the existing wooden equipment needs to be repaired.

The fort and hill area of the playground, which was a much loved site for the kids’ games, is currently out of bounds because of splintered wood and protruding nails.

“The children love the fort, it’s definitely a favourite for them,” she said.

Ms Spoard said the fort and the hill area will be an instant hit with the kids when enough money has

been raised to complete the work.

For now the kids are making do with playing on the slides and monkey bars.

Ms Spoard said the playground project relies on donations and fundraising.

“We are incredibly grateful for Ms Fellows’ generous donation,” she said.

THE END OF FINANCIAL YEAR MAIN EVENT IS NOW ON 12352495-20-17

Residents of an unsealed section of Beaconsfield’s Rix Road are fed up with the road’s condition; however council says it has identified no concerns with the pavement.

Rix Road residents Marilyn Brown and Shareen Mollenhauer are sick to death of having to “fourwheel-drive it” out their own driveways while works are underway at the neighbouring Beaconsfield Roses Estate.

For the last 12 months since Ms Mollenhauer moved in, coinciding with the development’s works, the neighbours say they have battled pot holes, drainage issues and uneven road surfaces and have witnessed “a number” of construction trucks getting bogged in the mud.

The pair have contacted Cardinia Shire Council multiple times requesting Rix Road west of Brunt Road to be sealed, but are unsatisfied with the “Band-Aid solutions” and its delayed response.

“We want something done with the road, not this sub-par grading,” Ms Brown said.

“Ideally, we’d like the road sealed and the drains dug out to get the water flowing again, but it’s very hard to get answers from council.”

Ms Mollenhauer said the pooled water as a result of the “poor drainage”, posed a health risk to her young children.

“It’s a health hazard, it’s not good and attracts the mossies,” Ms Mollenhauer said. “I don’t want my kids playing on the street with stagnant water.”

The residents argued council had a responsibility to ensure the road was fixed, but its failure to act left them feeling like the “poor end” of Rix Road.

“We pay rates just like anyone else, yet we don’t get any services. We’re always forgotten about,” Ms Brown said. “We’d probably be better not getting council’s help, but doing it (the road upgrade) ourselves. It would probably be quicker.”

Cardinia Shire Council’s co-ordinator of operations, Mark Howard said the unsealed road was “proactively inspected” in accordance with council’s road management plan.

It had been graded as recently as last week, he said, following a resident inquiry.

“An inspection of the unsealed section of Rix Road was completed last Friday 12 May, which identified no concerns with the pavement surface,” Mr Howard said.

“However, minor issues with the open drains were identified and works to rectify these issues will be completed by the end of June.

“Additionally, the section of Rix Road to the west of the Brunt Road intersection is currently being upgraded by the developer as part of the development of Beaconsfield Roses Estate.”

Bad call with phone abuse

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

'Rio' gets a check-up from Jeremy Jones. 168126 Picture: ROB CAREW

Vet warns against toxic garden treat

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Berwick vet has called on dog owners to ward their dogs from feeding on toxic mushrooms and toadstools.

Jeremy Jones says he’s treated several local dogs for severe vomiting and diarrhoea after eating toxic fungi in recent years.

“Last year we had a situation in which two dogs from the same household ate fungi, which had popped up in the

grass between mows.

“They became so ill with such severe vomiting and diarrhoea that they needed hospitalisation, strong pain relief and intensive monitoring.

“I feared one might die but with prompt treatment a full recovery was made.”

Mr Jones said the danger season is in April, May and June. Already this year, he’s treated several minor poisoning cases at his clinic, The Berwick Village Vet.

Each day, dog owners should scour their yards for mushrooms and toadstools and dispose of the fruitbodies safely, he said.

Most of the patients are puppies and young dogs, with those most at risk having dietary indiscretions.

Other cases have been dogs with large appetites or where two or more dogs through competitive instincts are “driven” to eat more of a toxin despite its unpalatability.

A magistrate has pondered how to protect a Narre Warren woman from a man who texted a barrage of sexually-derogative abuse and had apparently stalked her at her own home.

The 24-year-old man, of no fixed abode, had been blocked on Facebook and her phone by the mother of their two children.

She has since moved to an undisclosed address, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard on 8 May. On 3 March, the accused made 40 phone calls and sent 14 abusive texts calling her a “c***”, “sl**” and “piece of s***”.

The next day, he fired off further abuse, after a male friend visited her house.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen rebuked the man’s lawyer for “blaming” a picture of the partner “dressed provocatively” on Facebook.

“So it’s about victim blaming?” Mr Vandersteen said.

“It’s about what she’s wearing?

“We’re back down to that, are we?”

The man - being blocked on Facebook - claimed a friend showed him the Facebook post.

It seemed to be a type of stalking, Mr Vandersteen said.

The man apparently knew

more about what happened in the house than what was posted on Facebook, the judge said.

The man’s lawyer said the accused was a “fantastic father” and a “hard worker”.

Mr Vandersteen retorted: “Why is he behaving like a twoyear-old?"

“His children (watching) in court are better behaved than he is.”

At 2.15am on 23 April, the court heard, the accused began thumping on the home window’s roller-shutters and calling out the partner’s name, as well as repeatedly driving past the house.

He’d called 80 times and left 27 voice-mails before his interception and arrest by police at 4am.

At the time he was driving while suspended, and his Holden Commodore was unregistered.

He was caught two more times driving while suspended this year, showing a “sense of entitlement” and “non-compliance”, Mr Vandersteen said.

The lawyer played down the man’s brief period of using ice four years ago.

“If you’re saying there’s no drug or mental health issues, what is it behind this behaviour?” Mr Vandersteen said.

“Something is not quite right.”

The man had a record of drug, assault and weapons charges in Queensland, as well as being subject to five family violence orders.

Mr Vandersteen, in noting the man’s abusive words reflected the man’s thoughts, pondered: “How does a court deal with that risk?”

The accused man addressed Mr Vandersteen from the dock.

The partner had said she wanted to be a family while she was seeing other people, the man claimed.

He said he just wanted to know whether to continue the relationship or not.

Mr Vandersteen challenged the man on how he’d respond if the man’s daughter was later spoken to in the same alleged way.

“I didn’t make it comfortable for you,” he told the accused.

“I can’t risk you thinking I’m agreeing with you by being silent. That’s the risk with family violence.”

The accused was put on a 18-month community corrections order including judicial monitoring, drug assessment and mental health treatment.

He was banned from any contact with his ex-partner and children, except through a family lawyer.

Jail for ‘rage’ attack

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man has smashed the inside of a car windscreen with his fist, then punched his pregnant girlfriend in the face and stomach after being enraged during a call with Narre Warren police, a court has heard.

Soon after his violence on 27 January, Jeremy Arvidson, 23, allegedly told the victim he hated her so much he felt like killing her.

Arvidson was sentenced at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 15 May for assault and threats to kill his partner as well as for stabbing a Dandenong man in the stomach.

He pleaded guilty to the charges as well as stealing a car from a Pakenham

mechanic’s garage in February.

The car was found abandoned at Fountain Gate shopping centre on 21 February; Arvidson’s DNA was swabbed from an empty Red Bull can on the car’s floor.

Arvidson, who had been recently living in Doveton, Dandenong and Melbourne’s west, was also charged with handling a stolen go-kart, a stolen motorbike and a stolen mechanic’s electronic diagnostic tool in Hallam while on bail in October.

At the time of the first attack, he had been sitting with his girlfriend in a car at VicRoads’ office, Dandenong.

Police had just hung up on Arvidson after he swore and got angry when told he couldn’t register his girlfriend’s sus-

pectedly-stolen vehicle.

In a police interview, he said he’d kicked the car’s windscreen out of frustration and told the victim to “f*** off”.

He denied ever hitting her but claimed her black-eye occurred when he pushed her over “hard” at home during an argument on 31 January.

On 8 February, Arvidson accused a man of harbouring his former girlfriend in the man’s Dandenong unit.

During an argument outside the unit, he stabbed the man in the stomach with a three-inch pocket-knife.

As Arvidson ran away, he yelled: “If you call the cops I’ll kill your family and everyone you know.”

He later denied to police that he

stabbed the victim, who suffered a threecentimetre gash to his abdomen.

“If I would have stabbed him I would have done a better job,” Arvidson allegedly said.

“I wouldn’t have stabbed him, I would have shot him.”

Arvidson, who appeared in court via a custody video link, accepted magistrate Barry Schultz’s sentence indication of 18 months’ jail with 12 months nonparole.

At the accused’s request, Mr Schultz didn’t deduct the pre-sentence detention term.

It is being “kept” for an upcoming County Court prosecution against Arvidson.

Business with purpose delivers meals on the move

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Pakenham based Khan’s Hospitality Services has teamed up with the Cranbourne Food Truck to give the most vulnerable community members in Melbourne’s south-east a hot meal.

Khan’s Hospitality is providing the Cranbourne Food Truck with a prepared meal to serve from the truck on a weekly basis.

Khan’s Hospitality Services owner

Adam Sadiqzai said the business providing food for the most vulnerable in the Cranbourne community is part of his business ethos.

“I first became aware of the food truck through local media and it sparked interest,” Mr Sadiqzai said.

“I liked they were helping the local community, particularly in Cranbourne, which is an area that really needs a bit of help and support.”

“It fits in with my business philoso-

phy of having business with a purpose and we have been doing things like this for a long time, helping a lot of groups in Casey and Cardinia.”

Khan’s cooks meals for the food truck using fresh ingredients that than get be given to those in the community looking for a hot meal and place to go.

The Cranbourne Food Truck’s client base has grown over the last few months where they attract between 250 and 300 people a month.

Chris Marsh from the Cranbourne Food Truck said the food donations from Khan’s has been a great help in keeping the truck up and running.

“It has been a really good relationship and it has helped us in a sticky moment when our cooks are away on holiday,” she said.

“Because the truck is all volunteers, it can be hard to find people to slot in; it’s not like a workplace where you can cover shifts so this has been a godsend.”

Sour note to pay dispute

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Melbourne-wide fruit and florist business, with stores in Fountain Gate, Parkmore and Dandenong shopping centres, are set to face court over allegedly underpaying two workers a combined total of more than $130,000.

A & S Wholesale Fruit and Vegetables, as well as its director Stephen Fanous and operations manager Etherah Louli, are also accused of providing false records to the Fair Work Ombudsman.

The FWO alleges that A & S underpaid a manager $114,977 over nearly three years at its Chirnside Shopping Centre store.

The manager, from a nonEnglish speaking background, was underpaid for his entire 130 hours of work per fortnight, including $10 cash in hand per hour for his overtime.

A florist was also allegedly underpaid for her work at the business’s Fountain Gate, Parkmore and Dandenong stores.

The FWO stated it was unable to calculate the underpayments for a 17-year-old worker due to the business’s “non-compliant record-keeping”.

Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James said toll records from work vehicles were used to calculate the manager’s work schedules and alleged underpayments.

“We take matters very seriously when we come across examples of employers falsifying records or failing to keep required records which compromise our ability to determine a worker’s entitlements.

“We know that younger workers and workers from migrant backgrounds can be more vulnerable in the workplace as they are often reluctant to make complaints and may not be aware of their rights.”

The matter is listed for a directions hearing in the Federal Circuit Court, Melbourne on 3 August.

The FWO seeks penalties against the company, Mr Fanous and Ms Louli, as well as rectification of nearly $133,000 of underpaid wages.

A & S Wholesale Fruit and Vegetables was in the news in October 2015 denying claims of a former manager of “appalling” food safety and hygiene standards at its Fountain Gate outlet.

At the time, the business claimed its hygiene was given the all-clear by a subsequent City of Casey inspection.

Star News has attempted to make contact with A & S Wholesale.

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Five individuals and three community groups have had their hard work recognised at the 2017 City of Casey Volunteer Awards on Friday 12 May. Roman Nowak from Cannons Creek took out the coveted Casey individual volunteer of the year award for the many and varied volunteer roles he undertakes in the municipality.

Mr Nowak, 65, is an independent person with the Youth Referral Program who helps young people who have been taken into police custody when a parent or guardian may not be available.

He has attended 69 call outs to police stations throughout Casey to support young, vulnerable people who otherwise may have had nobody.

Mr Nowak is also second in charge of the Cranbourne Salvation Army where he has volunteered for 22 years and co-ordinates relief efforts to help the most vulnerable members of the community.

His volunteer efforts extend into other areas as well; having been a member of the Devon Meadows CFA for almost 20 years, a member of Langwarrin Landcare and a town support worker helping people with tasks such as budgeting in the local area.

Mr Nowak said he wasn’t expect-

Casey mayor Sam Aziz congratulated everyone who was nominated

“I thought there would be more people who did more than I do in the community so I didn’t expect it all,” he said.

for an award on the night.

“I believe that the volunteers we have in Casey are some of the best, and I would like to congratulate all the nominees and winners on being recognised for their invaluable contribution to the City of Casey,” he said.

“It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge your generosity in giving your time and effort for the benefit of others to make our community such a great place to live,” Cr Aziz said.

17-year-old Hayley Stevens from Officer was awarded the Casey young volunteer of the year award for organising a team of students from her school to participate in the Casey Relay for Life event in March this year.

Libraries plan a bright future

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey Cardinia Libraries (CCL) will be undergoing a drastic change in the next four years if the 2017-'21 Library Plan is approved by the community.

CCL will officially unveil the draft plan at Pakenham library on Wednesday 17 May with CCL chairwoman Cardinia councillor Jodie Owen.

The draft plan details the libraries' ambitions in upgrading IT equipment, renewing the furniture and refreshing the feel of libraries, and creating new and better learning and activity spaces.

CCL CEO Chris Buckingham said that the much-needed upgrades to the libraries will bring them into the 21st century.

“We have a clear mission to encourage lifelong learning, increase literacy and build strong resilient communities across the Casey Cardinia region,” he said.

“We want our libraries to be places where people can share stories, gather knowledge and be creative.”

“All our surveys told us that the community love our libraries, but we have a lot of work to do to ensure that they meet the needs of a rapidly growing community.”

The Library Plan is available on www.cclc. vic.gov.au and physical copies are on display in all CCL branches.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome from the community up to 14 June.

Survivor stresses early testing

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Berwick breast cancer survivor Debbie Brettoner recently hosted her third awareness luncheon since being diagnosed in 2014.

The 5 May luncheon underlined the

importance of early detection tests.

“We hope every person who attends tells 10 people about the crucial importance of getting check ups, so it has a ripple effect throughout our community,” said Paris Brown, a work colleague of Ms Brettoner at Harcourts Berwick.

As a result of Ms Brettoner’s efforts, at least two women were prompted to take the test and received crucial early diagnoses of breast cancer.

The event at Shanikas Pakenham held a fund-raising silent auction supported by a range of local businesses.

Casey Council is tight-lipped on the ongoing cost of managing a Cranbourne former landfill nearly a decade after high levels of methane leaked into homes at Brookland Greens estate.

On 16 May, the council approved tenders for the continued post-management of its Stevensons Road landfill for at least another three years.

The contract costs were kept secret under commercial-in-confidence provisions.

Following the decision, a Casey spokesman declined to give a global figure of the debacle’s cost, including the legal settlement, an extensive three-year landfill gas soil clean-up and ongoing monitoring.

The spokesman said a figure was unable to be released due to commercial-in-confidence contracts and funding coming from government sources.

The council and the Environment Protection Authority Victoria settled a $23.5 million class action with more than 750 residents in Brookland Greens in 2011.

At the time, the council expressed confidence it would recover much of its $13.5 million contribution from nine other defendants, including the landfill’s managers and

technical experts who had provided advice.

Residents collected up to $130,000 from the settlement, seeking damages after gas from the adjoining closed tip was detected in the estate in 2008.

In the subsequent emergency incident, alarmed residents were evacuated from their homes.

Nine homes are still monitored inside by methane-detection monitors that were installed in September 2008.

According to a council report, the landfill post-monitoring will largely continue at the same levels as 2010 though the in-home monitoring exercise was considered “redundant”.

A contract with Run Energy for in-home monitoring would continue on a month-by-month basis.

The landfill post-closure monitoring and groundwater testing contracts with Run Energy and Ecowise Australia will run for three years, followed by three options of one year.

The council also agreed to wind down its professional indemnity insurance coverage of Run Energy from $20 million to $10,000.

According to the council report, this will save $87,525 over the next three years.

Letters Location a key factor in fairer kinder funding As the CEO of Kinders Together, an early years manager working with disadvantaged communities, I applaud the announcement of additional funding as part of the 2017 Victorian State Budget for the early years sector to ensure our children have the opportunity to achieve their full potential regardless of circumstances in the long term.

The needs based approach also recognises the importance of place based disadvantage on families and the place based responses that must be enacted to address this.

The importance of prevention and early intervention by allied health professionals in addressing many of the barriers to early childhood development cannot be understated so the announcement of 500 additional Early Childhood Intervention Service places in the

State Budget is cordially welcomed.

As a leader in providing sector-wide professional development on topics such as trauma, Kinders Together also welcomes the additional investment in coaching, training and mentoring for educators in the State Budget.

However, there is no use in greatly improving the supports and interventions available at kindergarten if access to kindergarten for all children regardless of background is not maintained.

What use are excellent kindergarten facilities, educators and support services if the number of kindergarten hours is reduced.

The Victorian State Government has done their bit in committing to ensuring a strong future for our children and families over the long-term, it is time the Federal Government did the same.

In the 2017 Federal Budget, the National Partnership Agreement on Universal Access to Early Childhood Education (NPA) has only been extended for another 12 months.

The lack of certainty and stability over ongoing funding for the sector will continue unless a long-term commitment is made regarding this.

The Victorian State Government has committed to providing long-term ongoing funding for the kindergarten sector to improve infrastructure, support and raise the capacity of workers in the sector which will benefit all children once they are at kindergarten, but much of the positive impacts of this will be undermined if there is reduced access/hours to kindergarten.

The Federal Government needs to step up and commit to long-term funding under the NPA. The announcement of the 2017 Victorian State Budget is a welcome acknowledgement of the importance of early childhood education and care to not just children but also their wider communities.

However, this is only a starting point, so much more needs to be done before we can claim we are a so-called ‘Education State’ and the Commonwealth has a role to play in this as well.

The announcement of in the 2017 Federal Budget of the extension of the NPA for another year is welcome, but not good enough, a longer-term commitment is required.

Furthermore, 15 hours of funded kindergarten in the year before commence school is only the bare minimum, many countries provide substantially more hours and for more years prior to the commencement of school.

To really be seen as an ‘Education State’ we need to be leading the way with this, to truly be seen as an innovative and agile nation we need to secure greater kindergarten access for all.

Roger Chao, Chief Executive Officer, Kinders Together, Nar Nar Goon.

Socially speaking Wednesday 10 may the Cranbourne-Berwick News Facebook page was rocked by the news of a motorcyclist being hit by a car at the off-ramp of the Monash Freeway onto the Princes Highway. The motorcyclist was airlifted to The Alfred hospital and as of Tuesday 16 May, remained in a critical condition at The Alfred suffering from serious head injuries. The Monash Freeway is no stranger to accidents and the resulting traffic chaos and concern for the welfare of those involve always draw people to find out what happened. Here is what our readers had to say about the Monash Freeway

Old-fashioned way works Angela and I celebrate our 60th anniversary on 8 June, 2017.

We arrived at Station Pier with our three children on April 2, 1968, from Morecambe in north-west England, and were put on a bus and taken to a migrant hostel in Broadmeadows. We had nothing; only the suitcases we carried and had to start again from scratch at the hostel.

I got told to visit the employment office in Glenroy for a job interview (I am still waiting) and after only four days I got a job in a stone quarry in Epping. It was very long hours, six days a week and six hours on a Sunday doing maintenance on the camp. I only got one meal a week because the canteen was closed when I went to work and closed when I got back.

We stayed on the camp for nine months and then we got out and rented a house. In March 1974 we moved to Hampton park and still live in the house 43 years now. In February 1997 I had to retire from work due to a work injury that never got treated and later had to have a hip replacement so that was the end of my working days at the age of 61.

I am proud to say my wife and I never got any handouts from anybody. We both worked hard for what we own.

We have five grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren spread out around the country.

and the terrible accident: Nikki Felton: This happens because there are continuously d*ckheads who refuse to do the reduced speed through the roadworks. Had a moron P-plater tailgating me when I was doing 80 and eyeballing me as he overtook from the left lane and continued to zoom in and out of the traffic. Every day 60 per cent of the people will not do the limit. The recent amount of accidents on the Monash should prompt the police to start enforcing the speed limits. Have a blitz and catch the *@#$%

of Pakenham…

captured through the eyes of the Gazette

Dr Maged Ghattas and Dr Dominic Rillstone from the Casey Super Clinic with MP Greg Hunt and MP Jason Wood for the announcement of the health care home trial starting in Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS Berwick. 168376

At home for good health Federal Health Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt paid a visit to Berwick on Monday 15 May where a 12-month trial of the government’s new opt-in Health Care Home program is set to begin.

Mr Hunt visited the Casey Superclinic in Berwick with La Trobe MP Jason Wood to announce that the clinic will be one of the first 20 of 200 clinics across the country to trial the new program.

Along with Emerald Medical Centre, the Casey Superclinic will be a trial for the new system of care from October.

The remaining 180 clinics that will run the trial will be offering comprehensive health care co-ordination from 1 December.

The program aims to ensure patients suffering from longterm chronic illnesses have a comprehensive and cohesive access to ongoing consolidated healthcare.

The trial will see doctors, nurses and community health

care providers working together under a shared care plan that will give the patient a complete overview of their treatments and needs.

The drive behind the initiative will see local clinics and medical centres transformed into ‘home bases’ that will coordinate the care and needs of patients with ongoing needs.

A Health Care Home clinic will receive a monthly bundled payment to the clinic to allow flexibility in the type of treatment patients with chronic illnesses need on a changing basis while still allowing patients to access Medicare coverage for treatments outside their plan.

Mr Wood said the program will allow GPs and other health professionals to target health care for patients to get the best out of the new healthcare model.

“Patients of GP clinics in Berwick and Emerald will be eligible to take part in the program which will see their GP develop a plan which co-ordinates support from other medical specialists and nurses,” he said.

Health Minister Mr Hunt said the program will reduce the overall cost of healthcare to the government by improving patient outcomes over the long term.

“This trial is an Australian first and although I will be guided by our GPs and those patients taking part, I am hopeful that the program is a success and we will continue to roll it out,” he said.

The Health Care Home Program will be funded by a $110 million commitment by the government in the 2017-18 Federal Budget.

Other medical centres and clinics in the south-east region that will be part of the wider trial beginning in December include The Chandler Road Medical Clinic in Noble Park, Hallam Family Practice, Lakeside Square Medical Centre in Pakenham, Lynbrook Village Medical Centre, Thompson Road Clinic in Cranbourne and the Hampton Park branch of the first Health Medical Centre.

By Victoria Stone-Meadows A search warrant on a Cranbourne property has allegedly uncovered drugs, weapons ... and a near three-metre-long carpet python.

The Dandenong Divisional Response Unit executed a search warrant on the morning of Tuesday 9 May in Clarendon Street, Cranbourne.

Police said they seized methyl amphetamines, prohibited weapons, and stolen property from the premises but called in special help to remove the large snake.

The wildlife resource and protection and management team from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning were responsible for removing the reptile.

A 28-year-old man from Cranbourne has been interviewed by police and has been released pending further inquiries.

100 years through the eyes of the Gazette will appear in the Pakenham Berwick Gazette and attract an estimated 30,000* readers.

As part of Spinal Health Week 2017 (22-28 May), local chiropractors are raising awareness of chronic back pain and encouraging Australians to seek help.

Spinal Health Week is a health initiative of the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia and as part of this year’s campaign, Dr Renee O’Connor from True Potential Chiropractic is encouraging Pakenham residents to seek help for chronic back pain.

Chronic back pain is a national issue. One in six Australians suffer from the physical and psychological effects of chronic back problems - that’s an estimated 3.7 million people suffering. “The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare defines chronic back pain as a health condition that lasts for three months or longer,� Dr Renee O’Connor said.

A sedentary lifestyle and poor posture are risk factors for chronic back pain. The good news is it’s never too late to improve spinal health. “Simple measures such as incorporating walking into your daily routine can improve chronic back pain symptoms.

Chiropractors are highlighting solutions for back pain during Spinal Health Week. “Walking keeps the spine active and mobile. Improving posture can also help to relieve strain on the spine and improve circulation� Dr Renee O’Connor said.

Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine and nervous system without the use of surgery or drugs.

Australian chiropractors are five-year university trained healthcare professionals, regulated by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency,

and must complete mandatory continuing professional development.

For chronic back problems, chiropractors use a variety of treatments such as spinal manipulation or manual therapies.

Working with other healthcare providers where needed, chiropractors also offer advice on self-management through exercise and lifestyle changes.

True Potential Chiropractic is at 176 Princes Highway, Pakenham. Phone 5941 2616.

Take heart Women are three times more likely to die from heart disease than breast cancer and every hour one Australian woman succumbs to heart disease with 40 per cent of those incidents being fatal.

With women being two to three times more likely to develop hypertension than men, it’s important to understand what the risk factors are, particularly because women rarely develop symptoms despite the fact that hypertension becomes more prevalent with age.

Research has identified that women who are overweight and/or have high cholesterol and low levels of physical activity are most at risk of heart disease.

In addition, smoking, poorly controlled diabetes and depression are greater risk factors of heart disease for women than they

are for men.

St John of God Berwick Hospital offers a range of cardiac services in the Casey-Cardinia area.

Services available include a new Chronic Heart Failure Clinic which specialises in the management of patients who are experiencing symptoms associated with heart failure.

Chronic heart failure happens when heart muscle gets damaged, then becomes weak and doesn’t pump properly and once damaged it can’t heal.

The damage can be caused by a heart attack, or long-term health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease.

It can also be caused by cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle.

The nose is a shelf of skin that sticks out into the sun all of your life, so unfortunately is a very common site for skin cancers according to Skin Patrol Doctor Mike Inskip.

“It is also a cosmetically very obvious site,” Dr Inskip said.

“Unfortunately, there is very little lax skin on the lower part of the nose which makes it hard to close holes in the skin once a skin cancer has been cut out.

“Skin grafts or flaps are usually required except for the smallest lesions. Thus the earlier the smaller cancers on the nose are detected the better.”

For an expert skin check, see the friendly team at Sun Patrol Skin Cancer Clinic, 48 Van Der Haar Avenue, Berwick. Phone 9769 3358.

Dermoscopy at 20 x magnification shows clear signs of invasive squamous cell carcinoma.

RESI VENTURES’ NEW ROAD TO VALUE PAGE 2 18 MAY 2017 PHONE: 5945 0666

PAKENHAM OFFICER EDITION

WANTED: BROADACRE LAND. TOP PRICES PAID. Free plan of subdivision available - 10 hectares + (Urban Growth Zone) Call Khurram Saeed 0421 999 947 or Anthony Braunthal 0416 069 959 or visit: www.resiventures.com.au/LDA 12350944-20-17

RESI VENTURES' NEW ROAD TO VALUE FROM PAGE 1 RAPIDLY expanding broadacre land developer Resi Ventures have structured a new way for land owners to safely secure a high return on their farmland by entering into a Land Development Agreement (LDA).

Directors Khurram Saeed and Anthony Braunthal said their LDA approach can boost profits for vendors significantly compared to a regular sales process with the added security of a guaranteed price per hectare.

“Historically land owners have just sold their land to developers who make a huge uplift in turning the land into a housing estate. With a Resi Ventures LDA you can share in these profits and enjoy a return often more than 50 per cent greater than a terms sale,” they said.

Resi Ventures have removed the development risk and upsized returns by: Providing 100 per cent of

the equity to complete the Development works.

Never using the land as security to borrow money from a bank.

Keeping the land owner on title until lots are sold to the purchasers.

Guaranteeing a fixed sum per lot at a premium to today’s market value.

Paying out a percentrage of the lot sale value so returns are linked to future prices.

“Nobody ever picks the top of the market but prices today are through the roof and the choice a landowner makes could add - or subtract - millions from their sale price,” they said.

Flexibility is the key to an LDA. Returns from the project will start the day you sign on with Resi Ventures and continue as each of the lots are developed, sold and settled.

All LDAs are structured differently as the needs of land owners vary, however a typical

Resi Ventures LDA works as follows: Resi Ventures advances money for your land that you can use straight away.

We can also make regular advances until the development profits are realised.

The title of the land remains in your name until the development is complete.

Resi Ventures will pay the ongoing holding costs such as council rates and land tax.

“Resi Ventures will add value to your land while funding all project-related costs including planning permits, construction of roads and other civil infrastructure, and all external compliance costs such as developer contributions to councils, Melbourne Water and the GAIC. “We will project manage and fund the whole development process and share the development profits with you,” they said.

Resi Ventures is currently offering a free subdivision plan for any land owner with a minimum of 10 hectares of land zoned Urban Growth Area.

Call Khurram Saeed on 0421 999 947 or Anthony Braunthal on 0416 069 959.

What is driving prices up in real estate?

BEACONSFIELD

The answer is simply! “Demand.” There is an under supply of land into the market currently which is denying new home owners the opportunity to build their first, second or third home. This is forcing them to look to the established market to buy instead. As a result, we are seeing land prices push up and prices being achieved in the established market also push up at a rapid rate.

Only about 18 months ago, the average numbers of buyers attending most open for inspections was only 2 to 5 people. A well-advertised open for inspection in Pakenham today can attract upwards of 40 to 50 buyers, which will often yield 5 to 10 offers. With this many buyers competing for properties, we are seeing prices well above expectations being achieved.

It would not be unreasonable to suggest the market value of homes in the under $400,000 bracket has jumped by between 10% and 20% in the last 12 months alone. This is now flowing through into the higher price brackets as the demand also increases at this level and the under supply of houses and land to the market continues.

With the council forecasting the population of Pakenham is set to increase by about 80% over the 20 years, developers are going to be kept very busy trying to get enough land releases ready to keep up with demand. Most new estates are seeing a 1 to 2 year wait currently for land to become available for purchasers to build on.

If you would like to find out what the new value of your home is, in the current market, please call the real estate experts at O’Brien Real Estate Pakenham

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Time for tough love Great businesses are forged during tough times.

That’s the opinion of Star News Group Business Excellence Seminar guest speaker and national business commentator Damian Morgan.

Mr Morgan will exchange ideas with some of Cardinia, Casey and Greater Dandenong business leaders during a series of free seminars he will be holding across the region in June.

He will host seminars in Dandenong on Tuesday 20 June, in Pakenham on Thursday 22 June, and in Narre Warren on Friday 23 June.

While he has a positive attitude to business success during economic slumps, Mr Morgan isn’t afraid to be blunt when giving advice.

“The truth is there are some boom-time businesses that will only work in a boom,” he said.

“Great businesses that are well planned and developed are sustainable - they can thrive in any conditions.”

Mr Morgan is a former creative writer and busi-

ness journalist with an MBA, and is also a regular media commentator.

He has a passion for helping small and medium-sized businesses grow.

“I am a small business owner myself,” he said.

“My great passion is helping small businesses beat corporate - we are generally better.”

One pitfall for many small business owners was a lack of self-promotion, Mr Morgan said.

“So many small businesses are very good at what they do, but they don’t make the profit they should make because, in many cases, they don’t promote themselves well,” he said.

“It’s one of the things corporate (businesses) do really well. Small businesses are typically better.

We care more but we are often the best kept secrets in town.”

All 50 minute sessions are free with various seminar times available.

Bookings are essential.

Contact Robyn Butler on 5945 0682 or email robyn. butler@starnewsgroup. com.au to book a spot.

Ayden pumped

By Victoria Stone-Meadows A young man from Cranbourne West had his hard work and dedication to his craft recognised at the 2017 Master Builders Association of Victoria Apprentice of the Year awards.

Ayden Horyna was named Roof Tiling and Slating Apprentice of the Year at the awards ceremony at Etihad Stadium in Docklands on Friday 12 May. As part of being awarded the title, Mr Horyna also received almost $2000 with of tools, vouchers and workwear.

Mr Horyna was one of 12 apprentices from across the state to receive an award and be named the best apprentice in their field of work and study.

Master Builders Association of Victoria president Melanie Fasham said all apprentices were a valuable asset to the country and deserved to have their achievements recognised.

“One of the best investments Victoria can make is in the training and skills of young people in the building and construction industry,” she said.

“When we prepare them, we prepare Victoria for the generations ahead and the communities that will rely on them.”

“Tonight’s group of award recipients reflect the continuing importance of apprenticeships as the critical and enduring pathway for skills in the Victorian building industry.”

The awards ceremony was attended by about 1000 people and saw the best and brightest of Victoria’s future tradespeople honoured for their hard work.

Master Builders CEO Radley de Silva said all the winners faced tough competition and the talent of young apprentices shone brighter every year.

“It’s edifying to see this pool of building talent among our Victorian apprentices every year,” he said.

“Ours is the fastest-growing state, and these are the builders who will serve our communities in the years to come. The challenge, as always, is selecting just one winner.”

Marketing expert Damian Morgan.

Sweet success for Jackson A Berwick baker has risen to the top of Coles’ apprentice bakers in Australia.

Jackson Taylor won the category as well as $1000 in the supermarket’s inaugural bakery awards after starting the apprentice program in January.

He and other finalists had a cook-off across a range of sweet and savoury foods - as well as serving up their own unique treat.

The creations were judged on appearance, texture, aroma and taste.

Jackson cooked up a lamington jam scroll based on it being a big hit with his colleagues at Coles Parkhill Junction store.

“I began the apprenticeship earlier this year because I’m a hands-on person and have enjoyed working in the bakery and learning from the other bakers,” he said.

“It was a great feeling to be nominated and to be named a finalist shows that I’m on the right track in the early stages of my apprenticeship.”

Store manager David Visser praised Jackson’s teamwork and passion for his craft.

“The wacky lamington scrolls were a team favourite and we’re all so excited for him.”

Meanwhile, Samantha Shores, of the Casey Central store, was recognised as Coles’ best trade qualified baker in the state.

She cooked up a Nutella pull-apart during the finals.

Bro, that’s some honour

By Victoria Stone-Meadows

men into volunteer roles after recent data showed that while over 50 per cent of kids impacted by cancer are boys, less than 30 per cent of Camp Quality volunteers are men.

Mr Grant said he understands the hesitation a lot of men have when it comes to volunteering, especially with kids.

“It’s was one of my initial fears; the stigma of a 63-year-old man wanting to work with kids but Camp Quality put you at ease with this,” he said.

“They have strict child protection protocols and that puts you at ease with no fear of people being suspicious of you.”

“I would encourage anyone to give it a go; it’s an experience like no other.”

Camp Quality CEO Kylea Tink said there is not time like the present for men all over Australia to consider joining the Camp Quality team.

“Every child attending a Camp Quality camp has a companion of the same gender as a mentor, much like a big brother or sister, to ensure they are supported to have the best time ever,” she said.

“With boys being diagnosed at a higher rate than girls, and male volunteer numbers so low, our fear is that our boy campers will soon start missing out on this life-changing opportunity.”

The ‘Time to Bro Up’ campaign asks Australia men to think about what they do on the weekend and whether they could instead spare a weekend to #BroUp and change a boy’s life.

Camp Quality is asking men on social media to post a photo of their weekend with the following caption: “A weekend going to / doing [ ... ] is [ ... ] but what about giving up one weekend to support boys growing up with cancer? Time to #BroUp and show you’re keen to be a #CampQuality companion.”

To find out more about Camp Quality or the #BroUp campaign visit www.campqual- Sam Grant getting up to some shenanigans is his role as a Camp Quality volunteer. ity.org.au Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Clyde North resident Sam Grant has been awarded the highest volunteer honour available to Camp Quality volunteers after four and half years helping children with cancer.

Mr Grant has received the Victorian Dick Gillard award for his tireless efforts in improving the life of children suffering from cancer.

Mr Grant became involved with Camp Quality after he took an early retirement package and wanted to help out people who needed some extra care.

“I took an early retirement package and I’m not a good golfer and I thought I had seen something on the TV about Camp Quality,” he said.

“I wanted to put something back into the community again and the bond between volunteers is amazing; everyone is a winner, the volunteers are great, the kids are great, the families are great.”

He said the unfiltered joy children express when they have a chance to forget about their illness is what keeps him going with his volunteer duties.

“It has become a real passion seeing the joy and fun upon kid’s faces when we go away or at the family camps,” he said.

“I’ve been lucky enough to never experience the fear of possibly losing a child so to take families and allow them to interact with each and the appreciation of what Camp Quality does.”

Fund-raising specialist for Camp Quality Victorian Jo McKeown said no-one was more deserving of the award than Mr Grant.

“From being an amazing companion, who does incredible work with kids on camps, to bringing a shining light into the office, Sam is an all-round brilliant person who celebrates life and appreciates every moment,” she said.

Mr Grant is also getting behind Camp Quality’s push for more male volunteers through their “Time to Bro Up” campaign.

The campaign aims to encourage more

Perfect score for Warriors

By Russell Bennett The Pakenham Warriors’ Big V basketball teams made it a perfect five from five across the weekend as their senior men’s, youth league men’s, and youth league women’s teams won each of their games in a perfect weekend for the club.

Brent Russell’s men’s side backed up their 93-85 win at home over the Altona Gators on Saturday with an 8680 triumph away to Wallan on Sunday.

Big man Brad Bridgewater was simply outstanding across both games, with 28 points and 13 boards on nearly 80 per cent shooting on Saturday, followed by 25 points on 83 per cent shooting, 14 boards, and 2 blocks on the Sunday.

“It was our first double-header for the season and our focus during the week was recovery in between each game to make sure we were as best we could be leading into second game of the weekend, which was the game of the round,” Russell said. “Altona came out on fire and have shown why they have been on a winning streak over the last few rounds.

“We just had a lot of Thursday’s training slip into this game - lazy passes, silly turnovers, ball watching, and

no communication, so I think it was a good wake-up call and something we will definitely be touching on this week at training.”

But the Warriors pulled through when it counted in overtime, with some more spectacular highlight plays from Bridgewater - including a spectacular alley-oop to force the overtime period in the first place.

“The local support and crowd that night was huge, and again the boys fed off that so a big thank you to the crowd for their support,” Russell said.

On Mother’s Day, the senior side headed to Wallan for a top-of-the-table clash.

The Warriors expected the home side to come out firing, but perhaps not as emphatically as what transpired - 28 points in the first quarter and 53 for the first half while holding the Warriors to just 35.

“The half-time message was don’t stop, keep pushing - our run will come,” Russell said, saying disciplined defence and strong communication were also huge determining factors in turning the game around.

“The fight in the guys to come back after being down 20 points at one stage early in the third shows how much

heart they have.

“Not once did they give up and they pushed each other over the line and walked away for the win.

“Our goal was 2-0 for the weekend and to walk away after the weekend and go 2-0 was a great outcome for us.”

The Warriors youth league men were even more emphatic in their two crushing wins - by 41 points over Chelsea on Saturday - 104-63, and 42 over Wallan on Sunday - 89-47. Tobie Dean led the way on Saturday with 20 points, with 17 apiece from Lee Belton and Tom Greer, while point guard Matt D’Arcy - fresh from his stint in the US - returned for a special appearance before heading in for shoulder surgery.

On the Sunday, Aidan Jenkinson led the way with 17 points, 5 boards, and 3 assists as the Warriors forced Wallan into 37 turnovers. Simo Pajdic’s men now sit on top of the table with a 10-2 record.

Finally, Darren Thomas’ youth league women’s team recorded a double-digit win - 58-43 - in Rosebud over the Southern Peninsula Sharks off the back of a stat-stuffing 16 points, 9 boards, 6 steals, 4 assists and 3 blocks from Ellie Coutts and 18 points and 8 boards from Emily Patterson.

Brad Bridgewater was at his imposing best for the Warriors on the Pictures: ROB CAREW weekend. 168271

Australian soccer star Harry Kewell is about to bring his wealth of international experience to Pakenham on Wednesday 7 June.

The Harry Kewell Academy, in conjunction with the South East Centre of Excellence (SECE), will hold an Academy Masterclass at the Pakenham United SC on Henry Road Pakenham.

The Academy was developed to provide an exclusive group of young players and beginners with a unique professional coaching experience.

Children aged 6-17 can participate in this Masterclass in a number of skills and drills with

select coaching staff.

Depending on the age of the child, they will be allocated a specific group to coincide with their age group.

Training is quite exclusive so each child will be trained at their skill level. The academy will only be accepting very small numbers so bookings are essential.

The former Sydney-sider has travelled the world since making the move from Marconi Stallions to Leeds United in 1995, playing for English powerhouse Liverpool and Turkish giant Galatasaray along the way.

He returned to Australia to

play for both Melbourne Victory and Melbourne Heart in the A-League, and is now keen to impart his knowledge to local stars of the future.

The cost is $99 which includes personal coaching by Kewell, a HKA training top and beanie, and a meet and greet with the great man. Coaching starts at 5pm and concludes at 8pm.

To register go to www.harrykewellacademy.com/MASTERCLASS or contact SECE director Martin Harrison on 0402 900 744.

Winning streak at an end

By David Nagel AFL VICTORIA COMMUNITY CHAMPIONSHIPS REVIEW- SOUTH EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE v HAMPDEN The streak is over - long live the streak - but supporters of the South East Football Netball League can be mightily proud of the 22 players who went down to Hampden by 18 points, 13.19(97) to 12.7(79) at Casey Fields on Saturday.

Aiming for a remarkable sixth consecutive victory in the AFL Victoria Community Championships, coach Michael ‘Jock’ Holland and his side ran head first into a full strength Bottle Green outfit led by former Brisbane champion Jonathan Brown. The Demons looked outclassed at times, but rode brilliant performances from Michael Collins in the midfield, Michael Riseley down back, and a virtuoso five-goal effort from Andrew Dean to take a well-earned nine-point lead into three quarter time.

But Hampden packed too many punches in the final term, the Demons feeling the effects of limited interchange rotations after the loss of gut-runner Lucas Jellyman-Turner and under-sized ruckman Troy Tharle.

Some of these brave Demons’ midfielders played every second of the second half, allowing the Bottle Greens to take full advantage late. Holland, who stood down post-game after five years

Andrew Dean celebrates the first of the afternoon, and the first of his five against Hampden.

at the helm, praised his boys for a gutsy backs-against-the-wall performance.

“Definitely proud,” Holland began.

“I said at three quarter time, to the boys and the coaching staff, that it was going to be a big ask with two blokes down. It felt like they had control of the game, apart from the third quarter and the first 10 minutes of the match, and they were probably that little bit cleaner and smarter with their ball use.

I was really proud of the group, it was a lot different, a lot younger, and physically they were a lot stronger than us.”

The Demons, they jumped out of the blocks like a shot out of a gun in the first term. Dean set the scene with a fine finish from long range before Jake Smith capitalised on a nervous Hampden defence to stroll in for a second.

And when Beaconsfield youngster Jake Bowd worked his way down from defence, weaved his way through traffic, and slotted calmly from 50 metres, the Demons were 19 points clear after eight minutes!

But Hampden kept calm heads with former AFL listed players in Tim McIntyre (Adelaide), Rory Taggert (Melbourne) and Josh Saunders (St Kilda) lifting a gear to give the visitors a twopoint lead at the first change.

Collins had eight possessions in the opening quarter, Riseley seven in defence, while Narre Warren pair Trent Cody and Jack Soroczynski were damaging by hand.

Riseley is a smart-looking and smooth-moving performer, but his desperation, particularly with his smothering, kept SEFNL in the hunt in the opening exchanges.

Riseley, Jellyman-Turner, Michael Wallace and Jake Richardson would all throw their bodies across opposition boots over the course of the day.

Holland moved Luke McKenna to the dangerous Sandy Robinson at quarter time and in conjunction with skipper Brandon Osborne, Daniel Battaglin and Pakenham first-gamer Sam Blackwood, the defence lifted to Riseley’s elite first-quarter standard.

Nick Battle, Dylan Quirk and Nick Lang all got busy through both midfield, while Matty Clarke, Troy McDermott and Shaun Marusic were mobile targets up front.

Collins had a remarkable 10 kicks in the second term.

Dean kicked two and Marusic one for the quarter, the Demons facing a seven-point deficit at half time.

“When it’s your turn to go, you

Bowd recovered but would have just four more possessions for the match while Tharle would sit on the sidelines from the 12-minute mark of the third term.

The Demons led by eight points at the final break.

“It’s simply going to be about effort now isn’t it,” Holland said at a packed three-quarter-time huddle.

“Are we the side that is willing to dig that little bit extra, because that’s what will win us the game. Two contests, Bowdy, you set the scene in that third quarter, that was brave, same with big Tharle, they led from the front, now I’m asking you guys to lead from the front.

“Be bold, be brave, because it’s going to take a brave effort. You’ve got the licence to play exciting footy. It

go,” Holland roared at his troops in the rooms before becoming a little more instructive.

“We need something special here don’t we boys, we need to be smart, we need to lower the eyes and when we get the opportunity we pull the trigger. This is where we get to write our own story, individually, but more importantly as a team.”

Holland’s words stuck to the Demons like glue in the third term, the home side getting its hands on the footy and starving Hampden of possession. The Bottle Greens’ height advantage was nullified as McDermott, Smith and Clarke kicked majors, while Dean continued his stellar form, kicking two for the quarter.

Soroczynski’s run was carving up the opposition while the Narre Warren midfield of Richardson, Cody, Quirk and Collins gave the Demons a stack of drive at the stoppages.

Two big hits highlighted the third term and would prove crucial as the second half unfolded.

might take until the last contest of the game, but I guarantee if you’re willing to find something from within, for yourself, and more importantly for each other, we will win this game of footy.”

Unfortunately for Holland that third-quarter effort told, the Demons running on tired legs with Hampden kicking five goals to one to seal it.

Bryce Rutherford tried hard to lift his rating at the start of the final term, while Lang, Battle and Marusic ran the game out strongly.

The Demons had 85 possessions in the third quarter - a number that dropped to just 56 in the last!

Riseley took 10 marks across half back to thoroughly deserve the VCFL medal for SEFNL, with Collins hot on his hammer with 27 touches until three-quarter time. Cody, Dean and Marusic stood tall, while Bowd and Blackwood showed they could become defensive pillars in the years to come.

But the streak is over - long live the streak!

Motoring

�� Reviews and news…

It’s no stuck in the mud

By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Range Rover Sport SVR is one of hardest accelerating 4WDs on the planet.

Its 405 kW 5.0-litre supercharged V8 has it screaming from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds.

This is a genuine off-road vehicle that can handle harsh conditions that would have many so-called competitors stuck within the first few metres.

For example, wheel travel remains identical to the standard Sport, with 260mm at the front and 272 mm at the rear.

Wading depth continues to be to ‘real’ off-road standards 850mm.

So we’ve just spent a week in real world road testing of an SVR, that is boring motorways, clogged peak hour traffic, shopping centre carparks and so on.

Range Rover Sport SVR makes a strong visual statement, including a new front bumper with trapezoidal air intakes.

There’s dark Range Rover script on the clamshell bonnet, which has revised vents.

Its new grille has a dark finish that contrasts with the headlights’ graphics.

And all-new aluminium fender panels incorporate a new design of vents while unique side mouldings add further muscularity.

At the rear there’s a high-level

spoiler with a central brake light. The revised rear bumper features a gloss black diffuser and houses the SVR’s quad exhaust pipes.

Inside, the Sport’s sport seats are finished in luxurious Windsor leather with ribbed, quilted centres, Ebony Black top stitching, eye-catching reflective piping, and all feature the Range Rover Sport SVR logo.

Range Rover Sport SVR uses an evolution of the company’s all-aluminium 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine.

It has cast-iron cylinder liners and cross-bolted main bearing caps among other features often found in ultra-high performance engines.

Larger air intakes in the front bumper increase airflow to the two chargeair coolers.

This reduces the temperature of pressurised air generated by the supercharger before it enters the engine thus producing high performance even in extreme conditions.

The eight-speed ZF 8HP70 automatic transmission has been optimised and now receives additional torque in its lower gears.

We fell in love with ‘our’ Range Rover Sport SVR, not only because of the virtually instant acceleration provided by a supercharged engine no turbo lag here - but also because it sounds the part.

The SVR has a two-stage active

exhaust featuring electronically controlled valves.

A racecar-like soundtrack produces a purposeful, modulated pulsing at lighter throttle openings combined with a higher-frequency, staccato sound as you approach peak performance. Yet it’s not so loud as to upset the neighbours.

In country driving on our favourite test roads we experienced the delights of Range Rover’s Corner Recognition technology.

Among other features it watches

MODEL RANGE Range Rover Sport SVR 5.0-litre supercharged petrol five-door wagon: $233,500 (automatic)

Big, bold, and incredibly competent, the stunning Range Rover Sport SVR.

FORD Fiesta, WQ LX. Reg No UWX-715 With only 72,000kms travelled this little car is in as new condition with full service history available, female driver, comes with RWC reg until 05 /18, good tyres. Great 1st car runabout with the safety of air bags. Nothing to spend. $7,950 Ph 0407 505 040.

steering input and maintains one gear through a bend to provide stability that could have been hampered by unnecessary ratio changes.

It recognises that the bend has straightened and that the driver may then want to accelerate hard. Clever stuff.

Torque Vectoring by Braking is recalibrated over that of the standard Rangie Sport and provides more extreme handling when desired, balancing the distribution of engine torque between the four wheels to reduce any

understeer that might try to spoil the fun.

Active-Roll Control (ARC) replaces traditional anti-roll bars and uses actuators powered by a hydraulic pump to reduce body roll, adapting up to 1000 times a second. It’s tuned to behave specifically for the Sport SVR during performance driving.

Cleverly, it automatically reverts to the same software map as other Range Rover Sport derivatives once it senses it’s no longer doing track work.

During testing and development, the SVR recorded a Nordschleife (Nurburgring) lap time of just 8 minutes 14 seconds, a ridiculously fast time for a production SUV. Fuel consumption? Despite my fears voiced at the end of my January news story on the SVR’s accelerative performance it wasn’t as high as anticipated. Around town it was usually in the nine to 11 litres per 100 kilometres range. When squirted on the open road in twisting hilly roads it got to the mid to high teens.

Efficiency of high-performance engines means they use fuel remarkably well. On motorway running with the eight-speed automatic transmission keeping the engine ticking over at about 1200 to 1500 revs it sipped around seven litres petrol each 100 km.

Brilliant.
