By Victoria Stone-Meadows

Former sports co-ordinator at the Casey Indoor Sports Centre, Adrian Vella, says he and his teams' futures are up in the air thanks to the new Casey Stadium developments. 169106 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Mr Vella said he and parents who had children involved in the indoor sports teams he ran were very upset when they got the news.

“I was shattered,” Mr Vella said.

“When we all were saying goodbye I broke down; it’s really had to deal with things like this when you love your job.”

Council confirmed they have entered into a partnership with Cricket Australia to bring state and national indoor cricket competitions to the region.

“Cricket Australia have not taken over management of the facility but will be an active partner in the programming of the indoor cricket component of the facility,” Mr Rouse said.

Mary Elliot has a daughter who attended indoor soccer at the centre and said many parents were not given any warning about the changes.

“Neither the parents, children or coaches were given any warning, with just over one week’s notice that all these sports would be finishing up to

sports at the new centre.

“They have re-purposed the use of all the areas we used in the centre,” he said.

“If they are planning on offering these sports in the future no-one has told me anything; I rang council personally to see if they could help and they said they needed one of the footy courts to put in a basketball court.”

“When I rang they said the problem was they would have to re-do the lease and they didn’t want to do that, even short-term.”

Some indoor sports teams in the City of Casey have been left out in the cold, after being given their marching orders from the Casey Indoor Sports Centre.

Indoor sports teams including AFL, soccer, tennis, beach volleyball and archery have not had their lease renewed at the centre, which is undergoing an $18.3 million renovation.

The Casey Indoor Leisure Centre - which will be re-named Casey Stadium when the renovations are complete - will be home to extra basketball and netball courts, cricket pitches and gymnastics rather than the many other sports that previously operated out of the building.

Group manager of active communities at Casey Council James Rouse said the two-part development of the centre would allow for different sports to be based there.

“Part one is the regional basketball and netball facility which is currently undergoing an $18.3 million extension and upgrade,” he said.

“Part two is the indoor sports component, which is about to undergo a redevelopment.”

“That will see it re-purposed as a regional gymnastics, indoor cricket (capable of hosting state and national tournaments) and multi-sport venue with capacity for volleyball, badminton, wheelchair sports and more.”

However, former sports coordinator at the centre Adrian Vella, who ran the indoor AFL, soccer and beach volleyball for eight years said it was made clear there was no room for these

make way for basketball and netball,” she said.

“Basketball and netball already had over eight courts allocated at the centre, so now all the other sports clubs are scrambling to find a venue and time to continue.”

Ms Elliot said without support from council and with limited alternatives, some of the clubs may have to fold without a stable place to play.

“Cranbourne is already overpopulated this is going to be a mammoth effort with several sports clubs unfortunately already discussing the idea of disbanding,” she said.

“There are no other venues, or venues that can be afforded for the sports or parents that are involved.”

Mr Vella has been in discussions with Cranbourne Indoor Sports, based not far from the Casey Indoor Sports centre to allow for his junior soccer team to continue.

The YMCA will be responsible for the management of the redeveloped sports centre and the centre manager, Ian Jenkins, said YMCA planned to offer a variety of sports from the new centre.

“The City of Casey is undertaking the redevelopment of the centre and upon completion, the YMCA has committed to offer a range of sports and program,” he said.

“The centre will host a variety of sports including basketball, netball, indoor cricket and gymnastics and also cater for numerous sports-based programs.”

Stabbed at shop

By Victoria Stone-Meadows A bottle shop in Cranbourne North has been robbed for the second time in under a week, with staff members attacked by armed thugs on Tuesday night.

Police are seeking witnesses to the violent robbery that occurred at a liquor store on William Thwaites Boulevard shortly after 9pm.

Three male offenders with their faces covered and wearing hoodies entered the store armed with a gun and a knife.

One of the store attendants suffered multiple stab wounds to his upper body during the robbery and was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Another staff member at the store was also assaulted and suffered minor injuries to his face.

The thugs left the store empty-handed and fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction.

Investigating Officer Chris Nieuwesteeg from the Southern Metro Regional Crime Team said the thieves left behind a valuable piece of evidence.

“A knife was located at the scene that has possibly been used in the attack,” he said.

The incident echoes a robbery from Thursday 1 June, where two males entered the same bottle shop with similar

On this occasion the robbers threatened the shop attendant but did not physically attack anyone and managed to steal cash and alcohol from the store.

While police have not ruled out the two crimes being linked, they cannot say for certain that the two robberies were carried out by the same people or are connected.

Gary Kear from the Casey Crime Investigation Unit said the incidents were remarkably similar, but police didn’t know for sure yet if the robberies were connected.

“It was the same place with the robberies done a week apart and under a similar scenario,” he said.

“There are parallels but no obvious connections.”

A woman from Hampton Park has been arrested after her car engine blew up during a police pursuit on Friday 2 June.

The driver was detected travelling at 125km/h in an 80km/h zone on the Frankston-Cranbourne Road in Langwarrin, in a car with no number plates shortly after midnight.

The 31-year-old women attempted to speed away in the silver Mitsubishi hatchback towards Peninsula Link, leading police on a chase reaching speeds of 180 km/h.

The car however was not up to the task of an ongoing police chase and the engine gave up, leaving the broken car on the side of the Frankston-Flinders Road in Baxter.

The woman and three passengers

in the car were arrested at the scene and a search of the car found an axe under the seat and a knife in the woman’s handbag.

The woman was charged with 17 offences including speeding, dangerous driving while pursued by police, conduct endangering life/ serious injury, disqualified driving, using an unregistered motor vehicle, possessing a controlled weapon and refusing to undergo a preliminary oral fluid test.

She was bailed with strict conditions to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 21 August and the immobile Mitsubishi was also impounded for 30 days at a cost of $960.

Ring bling theft takes the gold

And the fishin’ is ... easy Fishing at the Tooradin Inlet is easier than ever, with the addition of new fishing platforms. The platforms allow anglers of all abilities to get out over the water and snag a prize fish. The new facilities were funded by a grant from the Victorian Government Recreational Fishing Grants program, with a contribution from the Tooradin Foreshore Committee. The grant application had heaps of community support including from the commerce committee, Tooradin Primary School and angling club. Community members turned out in droves for the official opening of the new platforms on 28 May, where Star News photographer Rob Carew caught young Sam having a go at fishing from the new platform. 168666

A number of distinctive gold rings have been stolen from a house in Cranbourne East and police are seeking the public’s assistance to help locate them.

Detectives from the Casey Crime Investigation Unit believe a person or people broke into a property on O’Meara Crescent between Friday 12 May and Sunday 13 May. The thieves have entered the house by forcing open a window in the laundry and proceeded to steal a significant quantity of gold rings.

Police have released images of the jewellery in the hope that if someone comes across them at pawn shops or on buy, swap, and sell social media sites; they can be reported to police.

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

Police are asking people to keep an eye out for these gold rings stolen from a property in Cranbourne East.

These Waters never still

By Victoria Stone-Meadows True to their name, Pearcedale couple Glennis and Colin Waters have not let their age slow them down, having enjoyed swimming together for almost 25 years.

Now in their mid-eighties, the couple have been swimming and using hydrotherapy for many years and swear by the health benefits they have gained.

The Waters began swimming at the old Cranbourne Pool in 1992 when they were diagnosed with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis and switched to the Casey RACE when it opened in 2009.

Mrs Waters said the warm waters of the hydrotherapy pool at Casey RACE had been a particularly good addition to their routine.

“Once Casey RACE opened, we began using the hydrotherapy pool where the water was much warmer and we’ve never stopped,” she said.

“Our motto is ‘move it or lose it.’ We like to live an active lifestyle and coming to Casey RACE and using the warm water pool helps us do that.”

“It keeps us motivated to get out of bed every day and prevents our joints seizing up.”

Mr Waters said his doctor had noticed a marked improvement in his health since he regularly took up hydrotherapy.

“My doctor keeps telling me that whatever I’m doing to keep doing it as it's working wonders,” he said.

Casey RACE Manager, Carly Sanders said anyone could try hydrotherapy as it was a great preventative and low-impact way to keep your body working well.

“The benefits cannot be emphasised enough,” she said.

“We invite everyone to try it for themselves and experience the positive impact swimming and using the hydrotherapy pool can make in your life.”

Glennis and Colin Waters have been enjoying a dip together for almost 25 years.

Pet registrations in double bill blunder

By Victoria Stone-Meadows City of Casey Council will be forced to apologise to about 200 residents who have been charged twice for their pet registration.

Casey Council issued pet registration renewal noticed to about 35,000 pet owners across the municipality in April, but issued the same notice to about 200 people who had already paid.

Berwick resident Lou Stanislawski was one of the 200 people to receive a renewal notice for pet

registration he had already paid.

He said he contacted council about the error as he knew he had paid registration for his ex-racing greyhound, Wazza, when he adopted him earlier this year.

“I suggested that council might want to contact all the recipients of the letters that were sent in error,” he said.

“The response to this suggestion was not enthusiastic.”

Mr Stanislawski feared others in the community may not be as up to

date with their paperwork and may have paid the registration twice.

He said the council was unapologetic in admitting they had made a mistake, and wanted to warn others in the municipality who may have received an erroneous notice.

“I commented that I was able to sort the issue out, but that there might be other people who were less able to deal with such a notice,” he said.

“I suggested the elderly or disabled people who might panic when receiving such a notice and make a

payment of $50 when there was no need to.

“Again, the response was less than enthusiastic or sympathetic.”

Casey Council refused to say how many people, if anyone, had overpaid or double-paid their pet registration.

“If a resident has paid for their pet registration twice or overpaid the required fee, City of Casey Council will reimburse them for their overpayment,” council’s manager of local laws Caroline Bell said.

Cranbourne Park Primary School is the latest recipient of a SUEZ Community Grant, with the school being awarded $7000 for a school gardening program.

Waste and water management company SUEZ awards grants to local community groups and schools for projects that help improve the environment and educate the community about resource management.

Cranbourne Park Primary School teacher and Garden Project leader

Michael Youngs said the grant would allow students and the school community to benefit from the garden program.

“The grant from SUEZ has allowed us to renovate our school garden to create a long lasting and sustainable environment for more than 350 students, staff and members of the local community,” he said.

A student from Hampton Park has been named as a finalist in the Young Australian Design Awards as part of the Good Design Awards.

Christine Lugtu has designed a wearable solution to seasonal affective disorder (SAD) as part of her industrial design course through Monash University.

She drew inspiration for her design from her drive to help the people around her who suffered from mental health disorders.

“I got the inspiration from the people surround me, mostly family and friends, that suffer from mental health disorders,” she said.

“I wanted to research more about it because I didn’t know much about mental health disorders.”

It was through her research that she learned about SAD and came up with the idea of a lightemitting garment that helps treat the depressive symptoms of SAD. “I came across a treatment called bright light therapy that cures 80 per cent of the symptoms of SAD,” she said.

“Bright light therapy mimics the sunlight and people that have SAD are usually exposed to less sunlight, so my hood mimics this therapy to stop the depressive symptoms.”

Ms Lugtu found that the current market of bright light therapy products mainly consisted of lamps that mimicked sunlight that people used in isolation.

“I thought instead of that, it would be better if people could wear it outside and it would be more social and much more portable,” she said.

“I found through my research that people who are suffering mental disorders often suffer alone so I wanted to make my solution more portable so people can have the benefits of social interaction to counter depressive symptoms as well.”

While Ms Lugtu said she was very excited to have been selected as a finalist for the award, her drive to design this solution came from a more personal place.

“I didn’t make it to win an award; I made for myself to say I did something and tried something to understand and help the people around me,” she said.

“That was the most important thing.”

The winners of the Young Australian Design Awards will be announced at a black tie gala night on Thursday 8 June, at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Sydney.

St Francis de Sales Primary in Lynbrook ran rings around their fund-raising objective.

Run for the fun Students at St Francis De Sales Primary School in Lynbrook have raised almost $7000 for their school after hosting a CUA School Fun Run. The students got out into the community and garnered local support for their cause through community interaction and engagement.

The fun run not only engaged the students in a healthy activity, but also promoted responsible financial management and goal-setting.

“Not only could everyone get out of the classroom and exercise, but the students were keen to set and meet their fund-raising targets so they could earn prizes like scooters and sporting equipment, which of course promote further healthy activity,“ fun run organiser Brooke said.

“Parents enthusiastically supported the initiative as it steered their kids away from traditional fund-raising efforts which often involve selling junk food.”

The CUA Fun Run also promotes healthy habits at home by providing students and parents with tools and tips to encourage families to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

The national program has assisted schools all over Australia to raise more than $90 million over 30 years to purchase learning equipment and upgrade school facilities.

Jo Kearney, CUA Chief of Corporate Affairs and Community, said the company was proud to have supported the School Fun Run initiative for the last nine years.

“CUA supports our members to reach their financial goals and look after their health needs,” Ms Kearney said.

“Similarly, the CUA School Fun Runs help kids learn about setting and achieving financial goals and establishing healthy habits that will stay with them throughout their lives.“

Dear people on council, In my view of it, there could be a connection between “open spaces“ and “environment corridors" which council promised to protect after the People’s Panel, and what happened in the rates review last time.

It’s online that in the rates review last time, proposals were made to provide some rate rebates.

However the council has knocked back all four proposals.

I would like to support two of those proposals again.

These were incentives in the form of a rates rebate for residents for retaining and managing heritage properties, and for larger properties, starting at one hectare.

I understand there is no monetary incentive for people on larger properties to keep and maintain these, and not just subdivide.

In terms of a rates rebate, while 70 per cent may have been a big ask, surely 40 per cent rebate or 50 per cent might be a better compromise.

Karen Young, Casey.

Time for rate rebate

It is interesting to read comments by Judith Graley, see “Probe call over mayor", (Cam Lucadou-Wells, Berwick News, Thursday, 1 June), calling for a probe into any breach of the local government code of conduct, by Casey mayor Sam Aziz, as he has threatened to sue Berwick Springs residents for speaking out over the controversial Berwick Springs roundabout this year.

Judith Graley MP states the mayor should be open to opposing views and he is misusing ratepayers’ resources attacking the people he should be representing. No-one will disagree with this Ms Graley.

But why didn’t you call for an investigation last year when Casey Council rewarded its senior management with a $250,000 “bonus" for writing a failed rate-cap variation submission to the Essential Services Commission?

In recent years, Casey Council has also wasted considerable amounts in undisclosed legal fees prosecuting frivolous cases against local residents instead of seeking solutions through negotiation; as in the case of Mr Nigel William Bryan from Narre Warren South.

Casey Council has a leadership problem when its mayor wants to dictate policy to residents instead of seeking a collaborative approach with all Casey residents and ratepayers. Casey has the resources, but we have a serious leadership problem.

Leadership means a mayor willing to communicate and negotiate with everyone to find a way forward on all issues.

Threatening people with frivolous litigation shows that the Casey mayor lacks the

confidence and capacity to deal with complex matters and changing expectations in the municipality.

say

Socially speaking On Wednesday 31 May, the Cranbourne Berwick News published a story on Facebook about Joshua Hagen. The 32-yearold man from Cranbourne was found outside the Dandenong Police Station with a loaded, double-barrelled sawn-off shotgun, a balaclava, a hockey mask and the drug ‘ice’. The court was told Hagen had no “malicious intention” and he was merely dropping off clothes to his locked-up mate.

Our Facebook audience was not impressed with the excuses and here is how they reacted: Emma Gainsford: No intent? What was he going to a fancy dress party? Seriously?!

Margaret Monello Vasilakis: I know right!

Because it’s normal to drive around with a sawn-off shotgun for s**** and giggles!

No malicious intent!? Yeah right! Once again our justice system fails!

Charlton Koh: Seriously Hagen’s lawyer has a weird logic on him being a prohibited person with a loaded double-barrelled shotgun with five spare cartridges in front of Dandenong police station and also in possession of methamphetamine, and possessing a firearm without a serial number, a balaclava, a hockey mask and the drug ‘ice’ and had no “malicious intention"? Which law school does he graduate from? North Korea?

Triple Zero Heroes

Ambos answer little Paige

By Victoria Stone-Meadows A young woman from Lynbrook has been honoured with a Triple Zero Hero Award for her quick thinking and calm and collected action that helped save her father.

Paige Weidemann was just 12 years old when she called an ambulance for her father who was suffering from chest pains and shortness of breath.

“I remember my sister and I were on the couch watching a movie when Dad came in and said he was feeling a bit weird,” she said.

“We waited for a little while to see if it would pass, but a bit later he asked us to call an ambulance.”

“That’s when his hands started curling in and he was having trouble breathing.”

It was Paige’s younger sister Skyla that first picked up the phone, but it was Paige’s composure that saw her take the phone and call emergency services.

“Skyla was really panicking and scared, and she forgot the number a little bit, so dad said ‘give the phone to Paige’ and I panicked even more,” she said.

Despite the high pressure situation, young Paige was able to speak calmly and clearly to the phone operator and quickly organised help for her dad.

“Once the ambulance arrived, I

was relieved,” Paige said.

“Skyla was scared and went into the hall and told the paramedics what happened, so I went into the hall to check on Skyla so that the paramedics could put the monitors on dad’s chest.”

Paige’s mum Jane Weidemann was working the night this happened, and said the way her daughter acted made her very proud.

“It was pot luck I checked my phone at work and noticed the missed call,” Mrs Weidemann said.

“I thought it was awfully late, so rang the house and Paige answered the phone and said the paramedics were there.”

“It made me so proud of her; how she handled it. It was difficult listening back to the recording of the call and it brought tears to my eyes.”

Paige said she was really grateful she had been taught how to call triple-zero and what to do in an emergency, but said she would be happy to not have any more emergencies soon.

“My school had told me how to respond to an emergency and call an ambulance, but once I actually had the chance to do it I was very scared,” she said.

Paige was one of 51 children to receive awards for their quick thinking and responsible actions at the ESTA Triple Zero Hero Awards announced on Tuesday 30 May.

Georgia’s heroism saves little brother after seisure strikes

By Victoria Stone-Meadows

Georgia Kruger was just 12 years old when her brother Mitchell, 11, had his first seizure in the car on the way to school from Clyde North.

For her composure and quick thinking, Georgia has been awarded a Triple Zero Hero Award for guiding an ambulance to her location in extremely difficult circumstances.

In bumper-to-bumper traffic, in a car full of her siblings and worried mother, Georgia was able to keep her composure to call an ambulance and save her brother.

“Mum had heard a noise in the back seat, and then I heard the noise and my sister Charlotte was crying; I was the last one to realise what was happening,” Georgia said.

“Mum threw the phone at me, and I was shaking so much it took me a

while to hang up from dad, process what was going on and call the ambulance.”

While all this was going on, Georgia’s mum was trying to get attention of others in the traffic to find room to pull over.

Despite being surrounded by absolute chaos, Georgia was able to guide the ambulance to where they had pulled over and maintained her composure to help save her little brother.

It took doctors a second seizure and months of testing for Mitchell to be diagnosed with epilepsy, and when Georgia called the ambulance on that fateful day, she had no idea what was happening.

Georgia was awarded a Triple Zero Hero Award at a ceremony on Tuesday 30 May where her brother Mitchell also discovered something

about himself.

“I learned there are lots of people who have seizures and a lot of phone calls were about seizures,” Mitchell said.

“Many people suffer like I do, and I feel like I’m not alone anymore,” he said.

Georgia’s mum Andrea and dad Brett said they could not be more proud of how their daughter had handled the situation.

“We are very proud parents,” Mrs Kruger said.

“If that was me on the phone instead in that situation, I wouldn’t have been able to do what she did; the poor kid didn’t even have a chance to collect herself.”

“I just knew we had to help him, and we had to work together and she did it and it was amazing.”

The little red nose rockers Tiny little rockers at Clarendon Street Community Child Care Centre in Cranbourne donned their red noses and dusted off their dance moves to support Red Nose by hosting a Red Nose Day fund-raising disco.

All through June, 50,000 pre-schoolers will raise money by dancing their little hearts out and helping in the fight again sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

For 29 years, Red Nose Day has been raising awareness and critical funding for Red Nose’s research, education and bereavement programs for sudden and unexpected deaths in infancy.

The partnership between Australian Radio Network (ARN), its digital entertainment platform, iHeartRadio and Little Rockers Radio bringing to life the discos is the latest in one of Australia’s longest running charity events.

All through June, childcare centres across Australia can purchase an entry pack online and then use this to host their own fund-raising disco event, with 100 per cent of proceeds going towards research and education.

The official Red Nose Day will be on 30 June, with the general public able to participate by purchasing a red nose or any Red Nose product to help support the organisation’s life-saving work.

A woman from Hampton Park has been rewarded for her hard work and dedication in changing people’s lives - one greeting card at a time.

Kay Vrieze has been marketing and selling send-out cards for about five years. In that time her business has grown, and so have the opportunities she has afforded to young people in the City of Casey.

Ms Vrieze set up the Paul Vrieze Memorial Scholarship to help young disadvantaged people in Casey complete their schooling in honour of her son, who died in a tragic car accident. She uses the profits from her business to fund the scholarship.

“When our son was killed, as a family, it was devastating.

He was a lovely part of our world and the same to many people,” she said.

“Paul was the kind of guy who would give away his last dollar, so we thought let’s not waste his generosity and see what we can do to make a difference.”

It was then that Ms Vrieze partnered with the Narre Warren Community Learning Centre to offer a scholarship that pays all the fees for young people to finish their education.

Ms Vrieze was recently awarded an MLM Superstar award by business network group Motivating Mum for her

She said she wasn’t expecting to win the award, after only having been a member of the group for about three months.

“Someone nominated me for it and to be honest I didn’t know much about it,” she said.

“I found it was a national award when I was sitting next to a woman from Queensland and there were people from all over the country there.”

“When they announced my name as the winner, I nearly fell over.”

Now that Ms Vrieze has retired from her main job, she said she was looking forward to focusing more on growing her business and expanding the scholarship trust to help more young people.

“We have two young people who have taken up the scholarship but we are very keen to get more on board.”

A great day out

Family desperate for return of lost lambs

By Victoria Stone-Meadows

By Victoria Stone-Meadows

The Cranbourne Day VIEW Club is looking for new members to get involved to not only create new friendships and learn new perspectives, but also to help educate disadvantaged Australian kids.

The VIEW club (Voice, Interests and Education of Women) is a female-only club that supports members by providing talks and seminars but also sponsors children through The Smith Family.

The club meets once a month for a seminar, with all manner of guest speakers and provides a space for women to learning something new and build longlasting friendships.

The club has been operating for six years in the Cranbourne area, with about 50 members currently supporting seven students through The Smith Family but they are always on the lookout for more women to get involved. “You are never too old to learn and there is always something new to learn,� Cranbourne VIEW Club president Trish Ransom said. “To hear someone else’s point of view is very interesting and we have all manner of speakers from The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program to local MPs, authors, and everyone in between,� Ms Ransom said. “That’s where the education is but just learning in general opens other avenues of interest.�

As well as the monthly lunches and speakers, the VIEW

A Cranbourne South family has been left devastated after two tiny lambs were allegedly stolen from a property they were being kept on in Devon Meadows.

The lambs’ owner Jane Turney doesn’t think the lambs’ disappearance is the work of an animal predator. “They were being agisted on the property in Devon Meadows and a neighbour of that property said they saw a man lurking around the paddock on the road,� Ms Turney said. “It’s a very quiet road, and she had seen a man lurking for quite some time and even tried to get his attention, so we really feel they have been stolen. “We are hobby farmers but not stupid; we know foxes and other predators can take lambs but it’s not our gut feeling.�

Ms Turney took to Facebook on Wednesday 31 May to ask the community to keep an eye out for the newborn lambs.

She said she was been overwhelmed with the support from the community and will be reporting the missing lambs to the police in the hopes the lambs are found safe.

The lambs were born on Tuesday 30 May and need the care of their mother and her milk if they stand a chance of surviving. “We just want them back to their mum; she is really distressed,� Ms Turney said. “The first 24 hours is the

At the core of the VIEW club is the belief that through continuing education and always being open to learning new things, members support those that need it most to gain a valuable education. “Children are our future, so it’s important to all of us to educate and help as many as we can,� committee member Robin Van Elburg said.

The other major benefit the VIEW club committee pointed out was the friendships and camaraderie that has developed among the members. “We start with new members by letting them know we are a friendship club because VIEW is a great way to make new friends if people are lonely,� Ms Ransom said. “Anyone looking for something like that is welcome and raising money for The Smith Family program is a great initiative we embrace fully.�

“All newcomers are warmly welcomed as soon as you walk in the door, there is someone to greet you and know who you are, and then we really take the time to get to know each other.�

most important; they need the colostrum their mum produces that gives them essential antibodies ... without it they will die and that’s my primary concern.�

Ms Turney was worried someone had taken the lambs as a prank or to keep as pets but said hand-raising baby animals was not a trivial matter. “If someone has taken them for a bit of fun, they will perish in this weather, they need to be kept warm and they need the care and nourishment from their mother. “The lambs won’t make it without mum, hand-raising any animal not a game. It’s very serious and if someone has taken for bit of fun really need to rethink.�

The Turney family’s three children, aged 11, nine, and seven, are also missing having the chance to get to know the lambs. “The kids love hanging out with the sheep and the lambs are part of whole process,� Ms Turney said. “It’s a real family commitment caring for the animals and for the kids to understand life cycle and what it takes to care for and love the sheep.�

The lambs are of the dorper breed of sheep. One is larger and has distinct black and white markings while the other is smaller and plain white.

Ms Turney has asked anyone with information about the missing lambs to contact her via email on janeturney9@ gmail.com

Valuable cancer cash at morning cuppa

By Victoria Stone-Meadows More than 100 people indulged in a morning cuppa for the Balla Balla Community Centre’s fifth annual Biggest Morning Tea fund-raiser.

The fund-raiser has become a staple event on the calendar for the community centre with participants having raised almost $10,000 since its inception in 2012.

This year featured guest speaker Casey Councillor Amanda Stapledon who spoke about cancer statistics and the impact of the illness on the community.

The event was led by MC Andy Reid of Stockdale and Leggo Cranbourne who is vice-president of the Balla Balla Community Centre’s Committee of governance.

Balla Balla Community Centre Community Development and Program co-ordinator Maree Davies said the day was a great success.

“A team of over 10 volunteers did an extraordinary job in setting up the room, providing a delicious morning tea for the guests and providing entertainment in the way of games and raffles,” Ms Davies said.

“As always, Maree Cullinan, the manager of Balla Balla Community Centre, did a great job co-ordinating this event.”

The team at Balla Balla and all that participated raised $1950 for the Cancer Council at their 2017 Biggest Morning Tea.

Police are hoping the public can help them locate Emma Bushby, who is known to frequent the Lynbrook and Dandenong areas.

New-look fire services - and compo tooxx

By Victoria Stone-Meadows The Victorian State Government has begun releasing more detailed information on how the newly structured Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) will be managed.

The shake-up of fire services in Victoria proposes massive structural changes to the CFA and MFB but also brings long-awaited changes to presumptive cancer legislation for firefighters.

The State Government has introduced the Firefighters’ Presumptive Rights Compensation and Fire Services Legislation Amendment (Reform) Bill 2017 that will see paid and volunteer firefighters eligible for compensation for cancers developed in the line of duty.

Specifically, the legislation works on the presumption the cause of the cancers are a direct result of the inherent dangers of firefighting.

The new legislation will apply to any firefight-

er in Victoria who has been active for the necessary number of years for the type of cancer they are claiming against, diagnosed after 1 June last year.

The presumptive rights legislation will also not have any restrictions on the number of fire incidents a firefighter must have attended to be eligible for the compensation.

Firefighters who have attended any particularly dangerous or exceptional incidents and have become ill as a result will have the minimum years of active service clause waived under the new scheme.

The new legislation will also see 35 integrated stations on Melbourne’s fringes - including Cranbourne, Pakenham and Dandenong - become FRV jurisdiction.

However, the government announced on Wednesday 24 May that the volunteer CFA mem-

bers at these stations will have to change the way they operate.

The government has assured CFA members that they will retain leadership under the CFA Chief Officer and the CFA will have additional operational powers in FRV districts though details of these additional powers have not been released.

Minister for Emergency Services James Merlino said the changes to the CFA and the extension of presumptive cancer rights will strengthen fire services in Victoria.

“Long-awaited presumptive cancer rights for volunteer and career firefighters were denied by the previous Liberal Government, but they will now be delivered,” he said.

“These important changes will deliver more modern fire services for a growing Victoria, making our state even safer.”

Cranbourne West singer Hoseah Partsch is making fans across the nation.

He’s among the final 11 contestants on Channel Nine talent contest The Voice following a captivating performance on the first live show of the series.

The 18-year-old sang Elton John classic Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word and received enough votes from viewers to take him through to the next round.

“I gave it my all for my performance and getting through to next week is just a blessing,” he wrote on Facebook.

Viewers are raving about the Dandenong High School Year 12 student, who’s on coach Boy George’s team.

“Think Boy has himself a winner here, I stopped what I was doing and turned my head at the sound of that voice. Captivating,” one wrote on The Voice Australia Facebook page.

Another said: “Hoseah sings like an angel. His whole face expresses the song. You look so gentle with a good sense of humour. I do sincerely hope you win.”

Hoseah said the competition was all about having fun and doing what he loved.

He told the News that he auditioned for The Voice “for my family”.

“We’ve had a rough lifestyle growing up, my mum being a single parent with four kids,” he said. “There’s days when we don’t have food on the table.”

Hoseah will next appear on The Voice on Sunday 11 June at 7pm on Nine.

Casey’s tick of approval

By Victoria Stone-Meadows The 2017 Community Local Government Community Satisfaction Survey results released on Friday 2 June shows Casey City Council performing well in relation to similar councils.

The survey results show that across the state, residents scored councils highly for their arts centres and libraries, appearance of public places and waste management.

In the 2017 survey, Casey Council performed higher than other similar councils in all categories including community consultation, advocacy, sealed local roads and customer service.

While council will not release the full details of the survey results as

they apply to Casey, an analysis of the previous year’s results show Casey generally satisfied residents in most services.

Casey Council’s library statistics show residents of the municipality are less likely to use their libraries than other similar council areas.

Over the 2015-'16 period, only 10 per cent of Casey’s residents utilised libraries in the area compared to 15 per cent of residents in similar councils.

The library resources in the City of Casey are also older than the average resources in other libraries in Victoria, with Casey’s libraries containing 59 per cent of resources purchased in the last five years.

Council has said in response to the

survey that the anticipated move of some library services to the new Bunjil Place has delayed the purchase of new library equipment.

Council’s waste collection performance is better than other similar councils, but also slightly more expensive.

The survey results show that Casey waste collectors miss fewer bins per roadside pick-up than other councils at a rate of 2.89 bins missed per 10,000 but bin collections costs council a little over $8 more than similar councils.

The survey showed that Victorian residents believe their councils need to improve their road maintenance and community consultation on decisions.

However, residents of the City of

Casey reported that 98 per cent of the sealed roads in the municipality were maintained adequately and scored the roads 61 out of a possible 100 points.

Despite Casey Council making efforts to conduct council business in an open and transparent way, satisfaction among residents of community consultation from council has not changed.

City of Casey residents scored the council 56 out of a possible 100 points for satisfaction with community engagement, a full two points lower than similar councils.

Community satisfaction with council decisions has also fallen two points, with the residents scoring the City of Casey 58 out of 100 for making decisions in the interests of the community.

City of Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the results from the survey showed the council moving in a positive direction.

“With the exponential level of growth we are seeing in our municipality and the prospect of the city being home to more than half a million residents by 2041, it is crucial that we are responding to and managing our infrastructure such as the roads to a high quality to meet these pressures,” he said.

“As a council, we’re conscious that effective consultation with the community is essential and we’ve recently expanded the work we do in this area to improve our approach, through the implementation of the People’s Panel and Casey Next projects.”

Casey Council is seeking to provide more recreation for the municipality's four-legged residents.

Council lists doggy-dos

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey Council has unanimously passed a resolution that will see the municipality greatly increase the number of dog friendly spaces at parks and open spaces in the region.

At a council meeting on Tuesday 6 June, council agreed to endorse an updated Dog Friendly Spaces Policy that will see 32 spaces for dogs and their owners established across the area.

There are currently five dog friendly areas in the Casey region with the new policy outlining another nine that are planned for delivery by developers in the growth areas; and 18 proposed to be funded and installed by council.

The 18 new spaces are expected to cost council a total of $1.254 million over 10 years, with each space costing about $75,000 each.

The updated policy and supporting documentation will be put out for public display for four weeks and residents of Casey will have a chance to comment on the policy.

The updated policy and dog friendly spaces plan have been developed in response to more than 30 requests from the community for new or improvements to existing dog friendly spaces.

The new parks and open spaces that will have dog friendly spaces will have to meet certain requirements to be approved by council including: Being approximately two hectares in size to allow for a dog friendly space of 0.5 hectares; Allow for a buffer zone between the dog friendly space and the rest of the park/open space; The dog friendly spaces must be fenced with double gate entry; Must have drinking fountains with dog bowls; Must have a bin; Natural shade included in the landscaping; and Seating and signage for the dog park.

The dog friendly spaces that are planned for construction in the next one to four years include spaces in Narre Warren South, Doveton/Endeavour Hills, Berwick North, Hallam, Lynbrook / Lyndhurst, and Hampton Park.

To find out more about the new Dog Friendly Space Policy, call Casey Council on 9705 5200 or visit www.casey.vic.gov.au.

BUILDER’S FAMILY FOCUS

KIALLA HOMES

FROM PAGE 1 GET the perfect mix of period features and modern finishes in that next home, to create a space that is uniquely yours.

Designing a new home can be a daunting experience, and it’s understandable considering the owners will be living there for a long time. Making mistakes or having regrets in the design or building process is not something anyone want to be living with. That’s why it is so important to find the right team to work with from the start.

The team at Kialla Homes endeavour to understand their client’s needs from the outset, to ensure there are no regrets later on. With customisability options to their designs, the opportunity to create that dream home has never been more achievable.

Jackson Hills is the third member of his family to come through Kialla in 30 years.

He has followed in both his grandfather’s and father’s footsteps before him, and is now a sales consultant who strives to make the sometimes daunting process easier for clients.

“My grandfather worked for Kialla Homes for many years, then my dad followed after and then I did an apprenticeship with my father. I was introduced to the business from a young age, because our family has had such a close working relationship with the owners of Kialla, it was always part of our family and seemed only natural that I would start working at Kialla,” Jackson said.

“As a consultant, I believe it’s crucial to be available at all times for my clients.

Even well after the job is complete. This is something I am extremely passionate about, I love what I do and being able to help people build their dream is a great way to make a living.

“From the day you decide to look at one of our homes, to dropping off the deposit, to getting your keys. I will be there for you every step of the way. Building a home is a very personal decision and I make sure I’m there to help every step of the process.

Original period homes are becoming few and far between, with many being knocked down and re-built, instead of preserving the history that tells a story of generations past. Kialla Homes specialises in catering to a niche market of homeowners who desire classic period features. Kialla Homes are not your traditional off-the-plan specialists.

“We not only build on slabs but stumps as well, allowing for the all the steep blocks and catering to people’s views that are such a prominent part of the local landscape,” Jackson said.

“We build on narrow blocks, on acreage, across the block and sites that have a

significant slope, that many builders won’t touch and of course we also do quite a few knockdown rebuilds.

“Being able to help clients create their dream home is what we are all about.

Incorporating their own individual flare into our designs or having them visit our architect to sit down, customise and create their own plan really does help bring that dream to life,” Jackson said.

“In the building and construction industry, honesty is everything. We are transparent in what we do, and allow potential clients the opportunity to shop around. We want what’s best for them, regardless of whether they end up with us or someone else.

“Pakenham is a very small town, if we had burned people along the way we wouldn’t still be in business after 32 years,” he said.

We have gone into some detail previously about some pertinent topics which have been raised from current affairs and newspaper headlines. It is good to know and understand what you are reading and hopefully I have been able to assist with that.

This week, I would like to focus on the technicalities of borrowing - and in particular bank serviceability requirements. Serviceability - what is it? In the eyes of the bank serviceability is what they perceive you can afford to borrow in regards to your mortgage and home loan repayments.

Serviceability therefore is a calculation of all your personal expenses deducted from your sources of income.

What is left over is your capacity to afford mortgage repayments. Things like car payments, personal loan payments, credit card limits, any HECS or student loans, living expenses like groceries and bills and having kids all impacts against what you earn on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis from your job.

The more income you have - the more you can obviously borrow based on the serviceability calculator. However, if you have a lot of short term liabilities (like car loans and personal

loans or credit cards) then that income quickly deteriorates away to not being able to afford a whole lot for your home!

In relation to income, banks will always consider any wage as part of a legitimate income source.

If you work in or operate a cash business and your income is ‘off the books’, a lender will not consider that income toward your serviceability calculation. If you want to avoid paying taxes by earning a cash wage it is going to affect your ability to buy a house.

If you are self-employed, make sure your tax returns are filed and completed each financial year. Ensure all tax obligations like GST and PAYG are up to date and paid, and try to make your net profit result as positive as it can be. The benefits of declaring operating losses from a tax perspective are positive, however when it comes to borrowing for a home loan it is extremely detrimental.

For those of you who are on pensions (old age or disability), unfortunately lenders will not consider that as legitimate income toward your serviceability requirements. However, if you are a parent who claims family tax benefit part A and part B, lenders will consider that as part of your legitimate income in the serviceability calculation.

We have all done the mortgage affordability calculators online that banks offer for free before prompting you to enter your contact information.

Now you know the detail to which they establish your borrowing capacity!

New principal for St Peter’s

Paula Newman, Philip Borg and his grand-daughter Olivia.

New milestone for community New over 50s community Lifestyle Berwick Waters has marked the special milestone of welcoming its first homeowner.

After 15 years spent living in the hectic inner-city, Philip Borg has moved into the community as early as possible to kick-start his next life phase.

“My daughter’s building a home in the Berwick Waters estate and I look after her three children twice a week,” Philip said.

“Now, I’ll only be a few minutes’ drive away from them all.”

A frequent traveller, the secure community setting was also a very appealing factor.

“I go overseas a few times a year, especially to visit family in Europe, so it’s nice to know there’s people looking after my home when I’m gone,” he said.

“I also like the fact there’s only one entrance to the village - for security reasons nowadays, that’s comforting.”

Philip was pleased to find the buying and moving process straightforward, and offered plenty of praise for the sales and construction teams.

“The process has been quite

simple,” he said.

“I especially loved getting progress photos of my home being built - I think that’s excellent service. Dealing with the team has been a pleasure.”

Buying a home at Lifestyle Berwick Waters has also opened up extra possibilities for Philip.

“Since I received more for my old apartment than my new home cost, I’ve now more funds to do extra travelling!” he said.

“It’s a great bonus.”

To find out more about Lifestyle Berwick Waters, contact 1300 50 55 60.

“Education is the finest gift an individual can give a young person.”

Quoting successful American businessman Donald Bren, newly-appointed St Peter’s College principal, Christopher Black, believes that there is significant privilege attached to being a teacher in this context.

Following 17 years of senior leadership positions at Springvale’s Killester College, Mr Black began his career at St Peter’s College at the beginning of the 2016 school year, taking up the role of deputy principal.

Mr Black will commence the position of St Peter’s College school principal at the beginning of term three, after fulfilling the role as acting principal for both terms one and two.

Since the college’s announcement, Mr Black has expressed his enthusiasm in beginning his new role.

We’re building the Metro Tunnel to eliminate congestion in the City Loop, by running three of our busiest train lines through a new tunnel. It’s a huge project and there will be road and public transport disruptions, but it will untangle the network and create more space for more trains across Melbourne.

> > > > >

pursue a vocational pathway.

Through his role as principal, Mr Black will also continue to encourage students to become confident individuals with a sense of purpose and positivity about their lives in and after their schooling careers.

“At St Peter’s College we will strive for all students to feel a keen sense of belonging to a community, where a sense of hope and purpose permeates all student thoughts, actions and efforts, and students gain a skill-set to contribute positively to society.

“St Peter’s College is - and will continue to be - recognised as the school which caters for and provides opportunities for all to flourish.”

For more information about St Peter’s College phone 5990 7777 or visit www.stpeters.vic. edu.au.

Newly appointed St Peter s College Cranbourne principal, Christopher Black, will work to continue to challenge students to be creative and critical learners who act with courage within the Gospel tradition.

The Metro Tunnel will free up Melbourne’s biggest bottleneck

“As an educational leader, I feel honoured to be placed in a situation where I am able to work side by side with staff, students and parents in ensuring St Peter’s College is the place where student dreams are fulfilled and where all are working together to reach their full potential,” Mr Black said.

“St Peter’s College strives to develop the whole person; the academic, the spiritual, the social-emotional and the physical. It is in this context that I acknowledge the significant emphasis and the important role the Catholic and Petrine charism and ethos plays in identifying who we are as a Catholic Secondary College and in influencing how our students are shaped.”

St Peter’s College endeavours to cater for high-achieving students, for those with special talents, those with particular needs and those who wish to

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Electricity price danger

By Casey Neill Rising electricity prices are as big a danger to South East manufacturers as the decline of the auto industry.

But South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden warned it wasn’t just businesses at risk.

“Households need to be looking at their power bills,” he said.

“They need to be calling other companies.”

Mr Boden said governments needed to address the issue or risk job losses and stunted business growth.

“It’s the primary issue we have on the table for manufacturing today,” he said.

SEMMA is negotiating a bulk-buy deal for about 40 of its members.

Its three-year deal for six cents per kilowatt runs out on 30 June.

“Our best deal that we’ve managed to find, which is probably going to be a two-year agreement, is about 14 cents,” Mr Boden said.

“If you look over the last 18 months the increase has been about 300 per cent for a lot of companies.

“It’s opportunism. It’s got nothing to do with real cost.

“The cost of production of the power is no more expensive than it was two years ago.

“We have one company we’re working with who believe that this would put their company out of business.

“They were buying at 5.6 cents. They were being quoted about 18 cents. For them it would be a massive hit.

“It would become the largest part of their monthly bill, over employees, over everything else.”

He said one Dandenong South company’s

Homeowners are being told that they should also put pressure on electricity companies. power bills had gone from $40,000 per month to $120,000.

Mr Boden said businesses that tried to absorb the increases would lose profit, leaving less cash for investing in their future.

The alternatives are to cut jobs or try to pass the increase to customers “which is almost impossible”.

He said increasing gas prices were adding salt

to the wound.

Mr Boden said that one Dandenong company’s gas bill increased by 140 per cent in the past year.

“They are being quizzed by their international owners as to how come they can buy Australian gas at a cheaper price than he can,” he said.

“All of the states and the Federal Government should work in collaboration to review what they can do to influence that marketplace.”

A spokesperson for the Federal Department of the Environment and Energy said the government was taking action.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is reviewing retail electricity prices, they said, with a report due on 30 June next year.

The spokesperson said the government was also working to increase gas supply and suppliers to lower electricity prices.

A spokesman for Victorian Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the government’s VEET scheme provided businesses with access to discounted energy-efficient products through accredited providers.

“The Boosting Productivity initiative is also helping businesses to cut energy costs, with energy bills savings of $50,000 per year, on average, for participating businesses,” he said.

“We’re also helping Victorian manufacturers and businesses manage the impacts of a volatile national gas market.”

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said it was clear the energy market was in transition and the government would support industry through it.

“We didn’t abandon the auto industry and we won’t abandon our manufacturers,” she said.

Bruce MP Julian Hill said the lack of clear framework for industry to invest in new electricity generation was driving up power prices.

“The Australian Energy Council has stated ‘the lack of national policy certainty is now the single biggest driver of higher electricity prices’,” he said.

Mr Hill said the government should adopt an Emissions Intensity Scheme for the electricity sector to help fix the power crisis and a permanent national interest test for the gas market so that Australian businesses and households were at the front of the queue.

Disabled soccer is onside

By Victoria Stone-Meadows A new soccer team, part of the Berwick City Club that caters for children and young people with a disability, is calling out for members.

The new seven-a-side team offers kids aged between five and 16 years old who are living with a disability a chance to get involved in a sports team.

The new team is being run by volunteer at the soccer club Jo Clemens, who understands how difficult it can be to have an active child living with a disability.

When her son Will was just two years old, he suffered through two major stokes, leaving him with right-side hemiplegia.

Now 13 years old, the effects of the stroke have rendered the right side of Will’s body significantly weaker than his left, but Ms Clemens said he had been an active sportsman despite this.

“Will has always been very active, determined and motived and just loves sports,” she said.

“He couldn’t walk or talk after his strokes but during nine years of rehabilitation we found out about a soccer team in Northcote for kids with acquired brain injuries, cerebral palsy and stroke-related injuries.”

Will played soccer with the team in Northcote for three years before he was recently selected for the Victorian development team run through the Football Federation of Victoria (FFV).

Since then, Ms Clemens has been pushing to have more seven-a-side teams for children with a disability closer to home.

According to the FFV, seven-a-side soccer is played by footballers with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries and those with stroke-related impairments.

However, Ms Clemens said the new team at Berwick City Soccer Club was open to kids with all types of disabilities.

“We say it’s a relaxed atmosphere and encourage anyone to come along and have a try,” she said.

“It’s a fun-based sports team that is almost a different way of doing rehabilitation with other kids, and for parents to connect in their shared experiences as well.”

Ms Clemens wanted to thank the Berwick City Soccer Club for the use of the facilities at Foxes Road and for supplying a coach in the form of their women’s team star Kate Wilson.

The seven-a-side team at Berwick City will have direct links to the Paralympics through the FFV, which allows the children to grow and develop their skills.

The new team at Berwick City has four participants and only need three more to have a full team up and running.

To find out more about the new team or to sign up, contact Jo Clemens on 0417 339 140 or Nicky Woodward on 0438 521 503.

Davis will give Bulls pace

By Russell Bennett The Cardinia Bulls are charging into a new era that they hope will deliver their first West Gippsland Cricket Association (WGCA) Premier flag since the 2008/09 season.

Leading that charge under captain-coach Alex Nooy will be former New Zealand Under-19 representative and former Buckley Ridges and Cranbourne speedster, Te Ahu Davis.

An opening bowler and bighitting batsman, Davis will give the Bulls a genuine x-factor and some real potency following the departure of Neil Barfuss to Flinders in the MPCA. Nooy said he was thrilled with Davis’ arrival to the Bullpen.

“We can’t wait to see what Te can do,” he said.

“I think the supporters will love watching him, and it’s not every day you can bring someone in with their own Wikipedia page!

“Our bowling attack looks a lot more balanced now.”

Davis joins a revamped attack featuring new signings Kallan Braid-Ball (Casey-South Melbourne) and Matt Welsh (Tooradin), and the Bulls’ offspinning duo of young gun Travis Wheller and the WGCA’s leading wicket-taker from 2016/17, Dwayne Doig.

Cardinia’s first XI has won three premierships since 2002/03 and reached the finals each year during that period, but the Bulls haven’t experienced the ultimate success since

2008/09 and they’re hell-bent on ending that drought.

Cardinia is proud to have attracted players of the calibre of Steve Paterson, Mark Cooper, Simon Parrott, and Barfuss over the past 15 years, and Davis adds to that list.

“We’re a small club compared to some of the bigger towns, so to consistently get players of this quality is a great reflection of what we are all about,” said Bulls club president Luke Turner.

“We’re a family club and it’s a credit to everyone involved that a lot of these recruits stay at the club long term. We look forward to welcoming Te and his family into the Bulls family“.

Barfuss has joined Flinders after seven seasons at E. Gunton Oval.

Former Cranbourne tearaway Te Ahu Davis has signed with Cardinia in the WGCA. 116398 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Back-to-back for Demons

Green and red flows in his veins

By Nick Creely

By Russell Bennett

VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 7 Casey has won back-to-back matches for the first time in 2017, overcoming a spirited challenge in a scrappy 18-point victory over Coburg on Sunday afternoon.

The game, played at Piranha Park, was a tussle right from the outset - with both sides looking fairly flat after the VFL had a weekend off last round.

Despite the Lions seemingly settling into the contest quicker than the Demons, a late Sam Weideman goal in the first term ensured they took a four-point lead at quarter time.

That lead blew out in the second term when the Demons slammed on three answered goals, but the Lions bit back and close the margin to 17-points at half time.

And as the game wore on, the contest became uglier, with the skill level of both sides deplorable in some stages.

In fact, the Demons had a staggering 54 inside 50s - 17 more than the Lions - yet could only kick 12 goals.

But the Demons had just enough class via its AFL-listed players to hold off the Lions despite them coming hard later in the game.

“Every time we come out here we get similar games,” senior coach Justin Plapp said on the club’s website.

“The players were coming off the bye and I thought they looked flat with decision-making and skill errors.

“I’m disappointed, but it’s a game sometimes you have just got to bank and move on.”

A string of AFL players had strong games for the Demons - Ben Kennedy (23 disposals,

For the past 26 years, Tooradin Cricket Club’s Ricky ‘Dutchy’ Holland has bled green and red.

And now the Seagulls’ favourite son is taking the club forward into a new frontier.

Holland debuted for the club on 18 November 1991 and his playing career pre-dates many of Tooradin’s records.

He’s taken at least 550 wickets in that time in just over 300 games played - including a 50-wicket season.

He’s been part of seven premiership teams, and either captained or co-captained four of those.

He’s also served as a committee member, club president, WGCA president, and is a Gulls’ life member.

He’s already made more of an impact on one club than just about any other player in the association, but his imprint is about to get a whole lot bigger taking the club’s coaching reins for 2017/18.

Though Holland has been at Tooradin for longer than many of the club’s current players have been alive, he is set to bring a fresh approach to coaching the Gulls - one centred on mental toughness.

“Dutchy is one of the most respected members of our club, and really someone who personifies what Tooradin is about,” said Gulls president and Holland’s great mate and former premiership-winning cocaptain, Kane Latham.

“He’s a selfless guy who has given hundreds upon hundreds of hours to coaching juniors, committee, executive, and teaching guys like me how to be leaders.

“Anything I have done as a leader I can attribute to the

The Demons tasted victory for the second week in a row after a scrappy affair with Coburg. 169194 Picture: ADAM McFARLANE three goals), Jack Trengove (30 disposals) and Billy Stretch (23 disposals) all played strong games through the middle.

But it was a game where Jay Kennedy-Harris put his name up for a senior recall - the flashy midfielder gathered a staggering 47 disposals and eight tackles in a serious case of leather poisoning.

Vice-captain James Munro (26 disposals, 12 tackles) was once again enormous, holding gun midfielder Nick Mellington to very few disposals while finding plenty of the football himself.

The Demons return to Casey Fields next Saturday afternoon to take on Collingwood, with the game to be televised from 2.30pm.

Ricky Holland has been announced as the new coach of his beloved Tooradin Cricket Club. 141058 Picture: ROB CAREW things he has taught me.”

Latham said Holland was a standout candidate for the Gulls’ coaching role as soon as he submitted an extensive threepage application on his goals and directions for the club, and plans on how to get there.

“Dutchy has a unique approach to his interactions with people,” Latham said.

“While he is often dry in his humour, he’s very intelligent and easy to speak with.

“So, on one level, we have this guy who’s super approachable for our players, and very experienced, and on the other hand the same guy is a fierce competitor.”

Latham said Holland’s mental game is “second to none”, and is set to provide the edge the club has been searching for.

“He knows exactly when

to speed the game up, or when to have the game come to the team,” Latham said.

“He has a lot of plans for bringing out the best in individuals, but definitely his mental side is his number one trait.

We have a fantastic list with incredible depth that can beat any side in the WGCA, but we just needed an edge in those crucial moments and we feel Dutch can bring that.

“There is no doubt Dutch is a winner, we’ve seen it over the past 26 years he’s been with the club, but what he really does well is connect to people.

“He’s a wealth of knowledge and to say we are excited for this new direction is an understatement.”

The Gulls have said there will be more announcements to come from the club in the coming weeks.

Seagulls swan to back-to-back wins

By David Nagel Tooradin has claimed back-to-back victories for the first time in nearly three years after the Seagulls dug deep to grind out a 31-point victory over Doveton at Robinson Oval.

The Seagulls - who have triumphed over the Doves just twice in their previous 23 encounters - were up for the fight against the Doves, who were proud and passionate with club stalwart Ryan Hendy playing his 250th senior game.

And it was a Doveton team that gained a significant boost early with Hendy’s cousin, first gamer Ricky Johnson, electrifying the crowd with an exciting six-pointer. Milan Mandic then marked and goaled and the Doves were off to a flyer.

But the Seagulls were out to make a statement and showed true grit, cutting the margin to eight at quarter time and taking a two-point advantage to the main break. They had the better of the third term and took a 15-point advantage into the last period of play.

The Seagulls had some matchwinners in the final quarter.

Andrew Dean kicked an early goal; Fabio Dilizia struck with two

more, while a massive hit from Nick Lang on Harley Primrose showed the Gulls were not to be bossed around.

And it really sunk in when a desperate Justin Smaluch, caught one-on-one with the pacy Clayton McCartney, refused to buckle, his fingertip tackle forcing McCartney’s kick, and Doveton’s last challenge, wide of the target.

Dilizia finished with four for the Gulls, and Dean three, while Lang was joined by Andrew Proctor and Matt Livermore in a commanding midfield performance.

Doveton, well they need to take stock.

They had a barely manageable eight changes heading in, with key performers like Russ Gabriel, Shannon Henwood, Matt Jameson, Alwyn Davey and Jake Blackwood absent on the day.

Frank D’Agostino was a fine replacement for Gabriel in the ruck while Sam Raru and Lachie Batten were serviceable through the midfield.

They call him ‘Cyril’ down Cranbourne way and livewire forward Khaled Kandakji certainly lived up to that billing with a devastating

last-quarter burst against Narre Warren at Casey Fields.

Held quiet for three quarters, Kandakji turned on the magic tricks with four last-quarter goals in the Eagles 52-point victory that basically assures a double-chance come finals time.

The Eagles have built their reputation this season on finishing strongly -and that’s exactly what they did in the final term, kicking 8.2 to 1.2 to blow the margin out late.

Kandakji may have taken the plaudits in the final term, but the grunt-work of Ryan Davey was instrumental in the clinches, setting up runners like Aaron Bower, Jake Carosella and Dylan Cavalot to inflict maximum damage in the final term.

Narre skipper Dylan Quirk was at his industrious best in the middle of the ground.

Pakenham supporters can finally shout from the roof tops after the Lions scored their first win of the season, an emphatic 96-point victory over a disappointing Hampton Park at Toomuc Reserve.

Despite six consecutive losses the Lions had shown improved form

in recent times and overcame some inaccurate kicking at goal to run away with the contest through the middle stages of the match.

The Lions kicked 3.7 to no score in the opening term and rammed home their advantage as the afternoon wore on.

Jake Smith kicked five for the Lions and Steve Morey three, while Chris Cardona, Jarrod Theisz and Steve O’Bryan were critical to the Lions’ success. Tim Ziegeler kicked two for the Redbacks.

And a successful trip to Tooradin is all that stands between Berwick and a perfect first half of the season after the Wickers scored a solid 23-point victory over Officer at Edwin Flack Reserve.

The Wickers dominated the early exchanges, kicking the first four goals of the match before the Kangaroos settled down after last week’s bye.

In-form forwards Brody Connelly and Trent Thomas slotted three each for the winners while Brad Phillips and Dylan Chapman fared best for the Kangaroos.

Beaconsfield had the bye.

Seagulls outlast the Doves for big victory

By David Nagel Tooradin remains on track for its first A Grade netball premiership since 2006 after the top-of-the-table Seagulls overcame a strong challenge from Doveton to win 60-50 at Robinson Oval on Saturday.

Kelly Andrews and her side have now conquered every team in the competition except Berwick, the Seagulls round nine opponent when play resumes after this week’s bye due to the Queen’s birthday weekend.

On reflection, the Seagulls have been totally dominant this season with Saturday’s result just the second time they’ve been kept to a 10goal margin or less. A 47-43 victory over back-to-back reigning champions Narre Warren in round four was their closest contest this year.

You just get the feeling that feathers will fly in September with the Seagulls and Magpies, and the Eagles from Beaconsfield, the big birds at this stage of the season.

About the only question that remains for Andrews is how well her side will handle the immense pressure come finals time - a pressure that the Magpies and Eagles have handled with a calm and composed nature over the years.

But there’s no reason to doubt their ability to handle it.

The Seagulls are littered with VNL-quality talent who have stood up under big-game pressure in the past.

Alex and Jess Maher, Jess Cox, Emma Iacovou and Sara Duncan have taken all before them this season while Ebony Dolan and Bec Kinna are a ruthless and relentless defensive combination. Throw in the likes of Alex Duff and Shona Wells and the Seagulls have supreme strength from one end of the court to the other.

But Narre Warren will not re-

Back from left; Greg Heinrich, Chloe Phillips, Corrina Emery, Gabrielle Dwyer, Kara Hargrave, Bec Potalej, Tracey Dell, Caitlin Stephens and Jade Heinrich. Front; Erin Clark, Leigh Taylor, Britt Mashado and Tayla Shannon. 169131 Picture: ROB CAREW linquish its crown without a fight, the Magpies making it four straight wins with a hard-fought 46-44 victory over Cranbourne at Casey Fields.

The Magpies were stung in rounds three and four, with losses to Beaconsfield and Tooradin their first taste of defeat since round 17, 2015.

They had set a standard that was almost impossible to continue, players like former league best and fairest winner Erin Clark, Leigh Taylor, Tracey Dell, Tayla Shannon, Chloe Phillips, Bec Potalej and Kara Hargrave setting the bar extremely high indeed.

The inclusion of players like Gabby Dwyer, Britt Mashado and Caitlin Stephens has given coaches Greg and Jade Heinrich with the perfect ammunition to keep on improving.

The Magpies will be extremely

difficult to topple from their perch.

Both Tooradin and Narre Warren did extremely well to repel a big challenge from two of their biggest challengers on the weekend.

The bottom half of the ladder had a bit of a shake up on Saturday with Berwick continuing its improved form with a 56-51 victory over ROC at Edwin Flack Reserve.

The Wickers took real confidence from their first victory over Pakenham in round six, with this win coming hot on the heels of a strong performance against Doveton in round seven.

Coach Janine Kilmartin hasn’t been afraid to give a host of new faces some opportunities and they’re repaying her faith in kind.

Players like Morgan Thomas, Bec Langford, Itagia Amataga and Abuk Kenyang are not yet household names but are gradually build-

ing towards it.

And Hampton Park has kept its fading finals hopes alive after breaking a three-game losing streak against Pakenham at Toomuc Reserve.

The Redbacks’ 55-34 triumph sees them level with Berwick and ROC on 12 points, with the round 10 clash between the Redbacks and Wickers looking to be a real seasondefiner for both clubs.

The Redbacks have been held together this season by the brilliant defensive efforts of Karli Foster and Shannon Rennison but have needed to tidy up their attack on goal.

And things are looking brighter after the weekend with 55 goals their highest score of the season.

Comets’ win impressive

By Nick Creely FFV SOCCER WRAP ROUND 10 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH EAST THE Casey Comets have won an impressive showdown with Warragul United, winning a high quality contest 2-1 at Comets Stadium on Saturday.

Both sides have been up and down throughout the season, and a win for either side kept them right in the mix to play finals.

But it was the Comets who lifted when it mattered, with Alexander Van Heerwaarden and Allando Matheson finding the back of the net to lift them to a crucial victory.

In other matches, St Kilda SC thrashed South Springvale 4-1, Mornington SC pipped Malvern City 2-1, Manningham United drew 2-2 with Mooroolbark and FC Clifton Hill lost 2-3 to Langwarrin SC. STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH EAST Berwick City took on last placed Seaford in what should have been a regulation win at home, but after 25 minutes an upset looked on the cards when Berwick found themselves two goals down.

Berwick’s captain Orlando Mejias then took matters into his own hands by scoring two wonderful goals to bring City back into the game.

With scores level at half time it was anyone’s game, however Berwick continued to pile on the pressure in the second half and deservedly took the lead through a Ruben Ichim strike who not long after put the game beyond Seafords reach by scoring his second of the game.

“We dominated possession for most of the game and just couldn’t convert our chances,” Coach Gerry McDonagh said post-match.

“They went forward a couple of times and scored twice early to put us on the back foot.

However, we were always confident we had the fire power to win the game.”

Meanwhile, down at Maze-

Merrett spreads the word on good hard work ethic The senior students at Berwick Grammar School were privileged to have Zach Merrett from the Essendon Football Club speak to them on Thursday 1 June. Zach was selected with pick 26 in the 2013 AFL Na-

tional Draft and debuted for the Bombers in the opening round of the 2014 season. In recent times Zach has been trying to raise awareness for greater research and understanding of Multiple Sclerosis and has witnessed

first-hand the impact of the condition. He shared his message of hard work, determination and resilience with the boys, giving open and honest responses to questions ranging from family, schooling and football.

It was yet another exciting victory for the rising Pakenham Picture: ROB CAREW United. 155846 nod College, Doveton SC has lost its hold on top spot, falling 2-3 to Mazenod United FC. It was always going to be a tough ask against the third placed United on their home deck, but true to form, the Doves took it right up to them in the first half, drawing level 1-1.

But the United found a way to get the job done despite a fierce effort from the Doves.

STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH Friday night saw Pakenham United defeat Lyndale 2-1, with the men from IYU Recreation Reserve continuing their stellar form.

It was an even first half for both sides, with both finding the

back of the net, before United found a way to win once more, kicking a late goal.

The news wasn’t so good for Bunyip, who were walloped 1-9 against top four side Dandenong Warriors on Saturday.

The Warriors were merciless, taking a 4-0 lead into half time before adding another five goals by the end of the game.

In other matches in the round, Casey Panthers defeated Drouin 2-0, Sandown keep dominating team, this time overpowering White Star Dandenong 3-1, Chelsea FC were too good for Old Mentonians 3-0 and Somerville Eagles drew with Rowville Eagles 2-2.

Stingrays seal deal

By Nick Creely A powerful first quarter performance by the Dandenong Stingrays has resulted in a comfortable 43-point victory over Bendigo Pioneers at Queen Elizabeth Oval on Sunday.

In pristine conditions for football, the Stingrays - sky high on confidence and in vintage form, burst out of the blocks, kicking five unanswered goals in the first 20 minutes - including a period of three goals within four minutes to seal the game shut.

Apart from a strong first few minutes of the second quarter in which the Pioneers managed to string together a couple of goals through Wade Donnan, the Stingrays once again stamped their powerful authority over the contest, taking a 28-point lead into half time.

That five goal lead soon became 40-points at three quarter time, before the Rays switched into an even stronger gear, pushing the margin all the way out to 61-points before a trio of late goals by the Pioneers added a touch of respectability to the scoreboard.

There was plenty to like for the Stingrays, who despite having an inconsistent first few months of 2017, are starting to play a fierce, unrelenting brand of football.

Hunter Clark’s stellar season continued - not only did the damaging ball magnet look classy on the outside, but his vision by hand in stoppages was a class above.

afield honours, while tall combination Tom De Koning (three goals), Riley D’Arcy (three goals) were on song and made life difficult for the Pioneers’ defenders.

Emerging defender Angus Patterson continues to turn heads, and was yet again rock solid as the team’s full back.

In less positive news - Sam Fletcher, picked for the Vic Country team in next week’s National Championships - copped a heavy knock to the ribs and went to Bendigo Hospital for scans - it is unclear of the severity at this stage.

The Stingrays will now have Fletcher, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Oscar Clavarino, Tom De Koning, Hunter Clark and Bailey Williams competing in the U18 National Championships for the next month, with plenty of chances for Craig Black to have more of a look at his depth.

They return to the field on 17 June against Murray Bushrangers at Shepley Oval.

Cranbourne hits their straps - at long last Cavs bounce back

By Nick Creely Cranbourne coach Sein Clearihan has warned for several weeks now that his team was set to hit its straps around Round 4 or 5 - but even he was worried when Box Hill jumped out of the blocks to be leading 19-0 after just ten minutes of play.

With no wins next to their name and a pretty star-studded list, the pressure was starting to mount for the Eagles.

The Hawks - in their first season in the VFLW competition - were unstoppable early with goals to Ebony Nixon, Emily Gilder and Emily Mcilvena.

Stephanie Brown managed to kick a late goal for the Eagles to reduce the margin to 12-points at quarter time, and it looked like the damage had already been done.

But the Eagles stormed back to life in a brilliant defensive display, showing off their trademark tackling prowess, holding the Hawks goalless after quarter time and kicking four goals themselves to run out 13-point winners.

“They (Box Hill) really jumped us to be honest, but to the girls’ credit they kept them goalless after quarter time and fought back really well,” Clearihan said.

“Last week they kept coming and coming at Geelong but couldn’t quite get the job done, but the group are now playing smarter and starting to trust eachother.”

Youngster Bridie Kennedy, who Clearihan moved into the ruck to change things up, was brilliant as the most dominant force on the ground, and will surely be on AFLW recruiters’’ watch list after yet another strong performance.

Backed up by senior heads Breann Moody, Alicia Johnson, Kirsten McLeod and Hayley Wildes, the Eagles finally got the monkey off its back.

The VFLW competition has another bye this week after last week saw no games as

The Eagles were brilliant defensively after a shaky start on Sunday. 167973 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS well, with Clearihan disappointed he can’t keep the momentum going, just as his team attained it.

“I’ve been wanting to play and it is a bit frustrating, we’re just starting to get rolling,” he said.

“But we’ll give them a good freshen up mentally and be ready to go the week after.”

The Eagles play Seaford at Casey Fields on 17 June as a curtain raiser to the Casey Demons’ match that night.

In Division 1 of the South East Women’s league, Cranbourne lost by 11-points to the

BIG V BASKETBALL REVIEW - ROUND 11 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MEN The Casey Cavaliers have bounced back from last week’s disappointment, defeating Hume City Broncos 90-72 on Sunday afternoon at Casey Indoor.

After slumping to sixth on the table last week, the Cavs needed to respond.

Despite the Broncos sitting several places lower on the table, the task was never going to be easy for the Cavs. But the Cavs were never headed, as Brandon Polk (21 points, 16 rebounds) put in a brilliant performance, and Ben Louis (18 points), Raheem Lemons (17 points), Michael McInnes (15 points) and Mitch Chapman (10 points) dropped double digits.

The Cavs will return from the bye on 17 June with a match against Hawthorn Magic at Boroondara Sports Complex.

DIVISION ONE WOMEN A tough season for the Cavs continued on Saturday night at Casey Indoor, with a 60-71 loss to Chelsea Gulls.

The third-placed Gulls comfortably got the job done despite some great intensity from the Cavs.

Tarryn Wilkin (22 points, 20 rebounds, three assists) once again battled hard with little help.

The Cavs have a tough double header after the bye, with games against Geelong on 17 June and Latrobe City on 18 June.

YOUTH LEAGUE TWO MEN The Cavs are now just percentage from top-of-the -ladder after a strong duo of wins over the weekend.

Saturday evening saw the Cavs travel to RB Robson Stadium to face the Wallan Panthers, with the Cavs winning 66-80 Nathan Dodgson (15 points, 16 rebounds) put in some impressive numbers for the Cavs.

The Cavs then returned home on Sunday, belting Collingwood 75-49, with Jordan Gooiker dropping 21 points.

A crucial clash between the Cavs and Craigieburn is set for after the bye, with the match to be played on 17 June.

YOUTH LEAGUE TWO WOMEN Despite losing its second game of the season on Saturday, the Cavs remain top-of-the-ladder heading into the bye.

In the clash at Casey Indoor, the Cavs lost 45-60 to Sunbury Jets.

They will face Sherbrooke Suns after the bye on 18 June.

By Alistair Kennedy The clock is counting down not only the end of Australian-made Holden cars but also on one of our nation’s most iconic vehicles, the trusty Holden Ute. The first ever Ute, the Holden Utility 51-2016 to give it it’s full name, was launched in 1951 and, apart from the period from 1984 and 1990, there’s been a passenger car-based light commercial Holden on sale here ever since.

In recent times there has been something of an evolution in utes, going from cargo carriers to what are effectively large semi sports cars and being replaced by 4WD/SUV based pick-ups.

One of these, the fully-imported Holden Colorado, will still be available, indeed pickups and trucks of this type are so popular nowadays that one, the Toyota Hi-Lux, was Australia’s biggest selling vehicle in 2016.

Technically, a ute has the front end of a car with no dividing space between the cabin and

The striking frontal shape of the Holden SV6 Ute puts it deeply into the sports-ute category. the tray. Pick-ups are designed as small trucks and share nothing with car bodies. However, these days anything from with a load area is often referred to as a ute in Australia.

Stayer Swift still stylish

By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring

Model range GL: $16,990 (manual), $17,990 (automatic) GL Navi: $18,990 (automatic) GL Navi+: $19,990 (automatic) GLX: $22,990 (automatic)

The Suzuki Swift follows a familiar successful theme. before the gen-three Suzuki Swift is significantly wider and sits on a longer wheelbase. This makes for added interior and boot space.

However, the seats have been lowered to keep headroom the same as before and the lower seats may make it more difficult for those who are no longer young to get in and out. Try for yourself.

There are two engines: a naturallyaspirated 1.2-litre four-cylinder with 66 kW of power, and 120 Nm of torque at a high 4400 rpm.

This is a relatively basic engine,

though it does have twin injectors in each cylinder (gaining the tag of Dualjet).

In the GL this engine sits beside a five-speed manual or a CVT automatic. The auto is a heavily revised version of the previous CVT, with a wider spread of ratios from lowest to highest.

The GL Navi and GL+ only have this automatic transmission.

Only offered in the topline Swift GLX is a European style 1.0-litre turbocharged triple (tag: Boosterjet). It provides a pretty reasonable 82 kW of power. But its big feature is strong torque of 160 Nm all the way from

1500 to 4000 revs. Thus it’s likely to be at maximum torque virtually all the time for most drivers.

Interestingly, Suzuki has chosen not to go for a CVT auto with this engine, instead using a conventional torqueconvertor unit with six forward ratios.

Safety has received high priority, with all models in the new Swift range having dual front airbags, front side airbags, curtain airbags and three child-seat tether anchorages, ABS brakes with BAS and electronic stability control (ESP).

Models from GLX upwards have a

sophisticated suite of additional safety items such as a collision mitigation braking system and lane departure warning, however this only works at speeds of 60 km/h and above, which doesn’t quite make sense.

At this stage we have only been able to test the gen-three Suzuki Swift at the Mount Cotton Training Centre near Brisbane to let us test the new safety systems in controlled conditions.

The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit is a real delight to sit behind. Responsive, willing and more than happy to rev, it’s a real beauty in the lightweight Swift.

Suzuki cleverly brought along example of gen-two Swifts to compare with the new model. Good as though that 2011 was in its day, the new series is significantly better in many ways.

It’s smoother and quieter inside.

Comfort is good and there’s a really sophisticated feel that’s sees the little Suzy way above its class. Road noise was noticeably lower in the new model. Handling is sharper with good steering feel and less tyre squeal when pushed hard.

All-in-all this is a sophisticated small car that will be at home not only in its native territory of the suburbs, but also on country trips.

To arrange a test drive contact Berwick Suzuki, 2-12 Clyde Road, Berwick. Phone 9709 1900.

12354010-HM23-17

The new Suzuki Swift looks like a Suzuki Swift. To anyone not into cars this will seem a daft statement. But this little Suzuki is starting to make a lasting name for itself in the styling stakes.

It’s perhaps not in the Beetle or Mini category yet, being only 12 years of age, but may we forecast that the Swift will continue to keep its very successful theme for many years to come? Obviously, with updates along the way.

Swift’s profile remains the same, the headlights continue the vertical headlight look, the grille is more upright but keeps in-theme.

The biggest changes are to the CPillars, these have interesting new two-part upper edges that include the door handles. Not sure that we like the C-pillar style at first sight, but it may grow on us.

Yep, new Swift is the same - but different. As the sixth millionth Swift will soon come down the Japanese assembly line, this is a pretty smart move.

The new Swift is remarkably sophisticated for its class, carrying safety and technology features often only seen on larger, more expensive European cars.

Changes under the skin of the new Swift are significant. It sits on an allnew platform that’s stronger and more rigid than the one it replaces, yet is 30 kilograms lighter.

This adds stiffness to the body, providing a stable platform for the redesigned suspension, as well as improving noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels.

Though shorter and lower than
