Property Lift out LAST CHANCE Anne and Beth are forgotten figures in the justice system. 170238 Picture: GARY SISSONS

Life sentence

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Justice is a hollow word for two Berwick victims destroyed by a man’s brutal act.

‘Anne’, who is in her 70s, and her 40-something daughter ‘Beth’ have remained victims more than 10 years after Beth was viciously stabbed and beaten unconscious by the man in her home.

It left her permanently maimed and with a significant brain injury. It robbed her of her social life, her relationship with her kids, meaningful work, her ability to drive and her independence.

Anne and Beth cannot be legally identified because the convicted perpetrator awaits trial for a subsequent violent offence.

Their suffering continues long after the matter was decided in court and after the offender was released from jail, said Anne.

“Beth has had everything taken away from her,” Anne said.

“It would crush anyone’s spirit. It has crushed mine.”

Traditionally victims of crime have been at the periphery of the justice system but now they’re prominent in the state’s law-and-order debate.

The state government has announced a review into the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT), introduced tougher sentences for serious crimes and will create a Sentencing Guidelines Council.

Last year, a Victorian Law Reform Commission completed a separate review into improving access to justice for victims-ofcrime.

Anne said drastic action was required.

She and Beth made their pain known to the court through victim impact statements.

They also applied for compensation from the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal.

But Anne said Beth was underfunded for her ongoing therapy and support needs, and barely thought of in the sentencing equation.

Before Beth was accepted for the NDIS, her $12,000 of annual disability support funding was woefully inadequate, according to Anne.

It meant Anne had to scrap for years to top up funds for Beth’s therapies and transport for weekly shopping.

For an idea of the shortfall, consider the NDIS pays Beth $42,000 a year. It was the first time she could get funding for two pairs of customised shoes.

Beth got limited compensation from the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal - $35,000 for a modified bathroom and $7000 for being stabbed.

Under the tribunal rules, a primary victim receives up to $60,000 for medical, counselling and safety expenses. It includes compo for two years’ loss of income up to $20,000.

Victims get their dues Life sentence a heavy price

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

From page 1

Can Martin Pakula rein in the law-and-order debate? 157745 Victims would also have the right to be consulted by prosecutors prior to altering charges.

Mr Persutto said victims needed more scope to express their grief and anguish in victim impact statements which are “often pared back to the point of leaving victims gutted”.

“We will put victims and com-

munity safety first with the strongest bail laws in the country, mandatory sentencing for violent offenders and a commitment to a strong and wellresourced police force.”

The Coalition is also considering whether to increase VOCAT compensation orders, Mr Pesutto said.

In his first report, recently appointed Community Safety Trustee

Officer Station car park construction

Ron Iddles cited some victims enduring delays of more than two years at VOCAT. “If the approach is ‘victims first’, then the current process warrants review in the interest of quick resolution for victims.”

The government said Mr Iddles’ findings reinforced the need for its VOCAT review.

There are further payments of up to $10,000 for suffering acts of violence.

The victim may also sue the offender.

In the Supreme Court judgement against the offender, the severe injuries and “untold damage” on Beth and her family was recognised.

It was weighed up with the illnesses, griefs and abuses of the offender, as well as his criminal history.

“He should have been sentenced for life for what he did,” Anne said.

“I heard yesterday on the radio that the offenders have to have a fair go. Why do they get a fair go?”

Beth remains angry at having no work prospects. She finds it hard to accept her station is performing simple tasks at a disability enterprise for 64 cents an hour.

After a while, she got sick of the courses of counselling, and the weekly therapy to arrest her slumped body and her paralysed hand.

Carers are required to drive her to do her shopping, for outings and for domestic tasks. Her mobility has deteriorated, she now goes shopping in a wheelchair.

Beth’s relationship with her own children became distant. Her elderly mother lives separately and is concerned for the future when she can’t look after Beth.

“I thought my daughter would be looking after me. We’d have wonderful times out but it’s not like that at all,” Anne said.

“I just don’t want her to go to a home.”

Crime Victims Support Association president Noel McNamara said there was help available, like counselling, financial assistance and volunteers to accompany victims to court.

But there’s not a lot of government funding, and besides, whatever the money, it doesn’t cure all.

“It’s very hard to fix a broken heart”.

Will the ‘forgotten’ victims of crime be the winners from the state’s earnest law-and-order debate?

Goaded for the state’s so-called “soft” justice system, Attorney General Martin Pakula recently announced a stronger sentencing regime and an extended review into the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT).

The Victorian Law Reform Commission review will consider how to ensure access to VOCAT was fair, timely and minimised additional trauma.

Among the review’s issues were whether awards were appropriate.

Currently they’re capped at $60,000 for medical and counselling expenses.

Mr Pakula said “significant action” had been taken to strengthen the state’s sentencing regime.

“We’ve introduced legislation to create sentencing standards for the most serious crimes, and we will create a Sentencing Guidelines Council to engage with the community and provide guidance to the courts.”

In the recent budget, the government boosted frontline staff and support services for victims of crime, witnesses and vulnerable children, and gave extra funding to the Victims of Crime Commissioner.

Shadow Attorney General John Pesutto said more was needed to help victims, who were forgotten due to the “constant focus on the rights of criminals”.

His Liberal-National Coalition has proposed “profound” changes such as victims being able to get compensation from offenders’ superannuation.

Kids' soccer match drama

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Football Federation Victoria is investigating an ugly incident which led to the abandonment of an under-10s Casey Comets soccer game.

In the 18 June match, an eight-yearold Comets player is alleged to have felled a Peninsula Strikers opponent with a tackle, and then spun and kicked the player in the back.

Strikers coach Troy Hicks allegedly ran in from the sidelines and loudly remonstrated with the Comets player at close quarters.

The father of the Comets player then entered the fray, pushing Mr Hicks away from his son.

Up to a dozen adult spectators entered the pitch, and the game was abandoned at the 15-minute mark.

In the aftermath, it emerged the Comets players and parents had bonded at a kickboxing gym session just

days before the incident. As a result, the team’s coach Michael Somerville was dismissed by Comets administrators.

Some of the facts are in dispute, but Star News understands the two young players involved have been traumatised by the incident, missed school and taken a break from the game.

Mr Hicks said he would face an FFV tribunal over the incident on 26 July. Depending on the outcome, Victoria Police may also investigate, he said.

He said he wouldn’t comment on the incident until after the hearing.

Some Comets affiliated people say Mr Hicks yelled threateningly into the face of the Comets player.

A Strikers parent says Mr Hicks had stepped in to protect the kicked player from further attack.

Casey Comets president Dawn Stone said the incident “wasn’t Troy’s

finest hour” but its severity had been exaggerated.

“The kick wasn’t very nice. It happens in sport but it doesn’t happen every week in our game.

“The coach was being very protective of his player. He didn’t threaten anybody, he was upset.”

She said the issue was being fuelled by a discontent Mr Somerville, who was sacked because the kickboxing session included physical “tactics” that avoided detection by a referee.

“It’s a magnificent art but I wouldn’t bring it as a form of coaching for eight and nine-year-old children,” Ms Stone said.

“At this age, the competitive side is secondary. It’s about teaching the love of the game and development.”

Mr Somerville was bemused that he’d been stood down while Mr Hicks was still coaching.

He described the kickboxing ses-

sion at a Comets parent’s gym as a “bonding” session for parents and children. He denied the session involved football or “training my boys to be violent”.

“To blame the kickboxing is just ridiculous. I’ve never had issues with the other boys.

“The kickboxing lesson had zero to do with how the player behaved.

He knows what he did was extremely wrong but he doesn’t know why he did it.”

Mr Somerville, who as a former Strikers coach “didn’t get on” with Mr Hicks, accused Mr Hicks of a “ferocious assault” on the boy.

“He should have shown more selfcontrol. Under no circumstances can a coach run out on the field.

“The boy was terrified to have an adult run at him like that and come screaming at him.”

Referee Alexander May, who is

also a friend of Mr Somerville, said he would have sent the Comets player off for the kick - if he had the chance. “(Mr Hicks) didn’t run to the player on the ground, so to protect that player, but to verbally assault the boy who did it.

“For the first few days, the boys were shocked and upset. It’s because of the behaviour of the grown-up people.”

FFV has a child safety policy, declaring a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse and that all children have a right to feel safe.

According to the code of conduct, speaking to a minor in an “overly harsh, threatening, intimidating, shaming, derogatory, demeaning or humiliating” way is prohibited.

In a statement, FFV said there was an investigation “ongoing in line with the Federation’s existing Grievance, Disciplinary and Tribunal procedures”.

“FFV will not be commenting on the investigation.”

Rapid-fire gunshots leave a family in terror A Hampton Park family has endured a terrifying night inside their own home when an unknown gunman fired bullets into their house on Oaktree Drive.

Police are searching for witnesses following the shooting that occurred just past 8pm on Sunday 9 July.

Five members of the family were home, including a two-year-old child, when about six shots were fired into cars on the property and into a bedroom window.

Resident Mandy, who did not want her surname published, said her and her family had no idea why their house was targeted.

“We are innocent; we have no idea why this has happened,” she said.

“It was so scary and we have done nothing to anybody.”

She said one of the bullets went through her bedroom window.

“I’m lucky I wasn’t in bed,” she said.

“We were just at home watching TV and then we heard two gunshots, well I didn’t know they were gunshots at first, I just heard bangs, and said ‘what’s that’ and I jumped up to go out the front door.

“And then with that I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, then I realised they were gunshots and I grabbed the phone and called the police.”

Mandy said it was her brother who sprang into action and went outside to see what was going on.

“My brother ran down the drive-

way because he heard them as well,” she said.

“So I was trying to yell at him to get back in the house and don’t run towards it and he ended up chasing the guy down the street. He was on foot, not in a car.”

Despite her brother giving chase, Mandy said there was no way they could tell who the shooter was.

“We couldn’t see him because he had a hoodie on and had it pulled up tight. We couldn’t see anything,” she said.

A nearby neighbour, who did not want to be identified, said this wasn’t the first time something like this had occurred in the area.

“This road is very busy with hooning cars and people yelling. All the time it is quite noisy,” he said.

“We have heard this before, a few times a year, bang, bang, bang, but I don’t know if it’s fireworks or guns.”

The neighbour said he heard the gunshots on Sunday night as well as people yelling in the street.

“I think I heard maybe five or six shots moving up the road; the sound was moving up the road,” he said.

“Someone was yelling and I heard a voice following the shots, the voice followed a few seconds after the shots. They were just yelling, I couldn’t understand them.”

Investigating officer Detective Senior Constable Emily Donnelly said police were appealing for any witnesses to come forward to help their investigation.

“It is believed that one male offender has walked up the driveway

Hampton Park resident Mandy told of how her family were the target of a shooting on Sunday night. 170411 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS and discharged a firearm into a vehicle and also into the lounge room and a bedroom of the property,” she said.

“Anyone with further information is urged to come forward.

Please contact Crime Stoppers or the Casey CIU.” Mandy said her family had lived at the house on Oaktree drive for 38

years and had never been this scared to be in their own home.

“My mum and dad own this house and I care for my mum because she is disabled and my brother and little brother live here,” she said.

“We are terrified. How do I know it’s not going to happen again?

Nothing like this has happened before.”

Students win in plan to cut fat

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A group of pro-active problem-solvers from Fountain Gate Secondary College have shone on the world stage with their plan to tackle teen obesity.

The six-member team dubbed HEALTH (Helping Everyone Achieve Lifetime Health) placed second at an international problem-solving competition in Wisconsin, USA, in June.

Team captain Nikita I said she was overwhelmed with the result after 18 months of “hard work, stress and perseverance”.

Nikita with team-mates Ngoc Tran, Sibel Bozkurt, Mikayla Camilleri, Luke Attrill and Mitchell Newman had started on their quest for improving teen health in 2016.

They were shocked that one in four Australian adolescents were overweight or obese - equivalent to 250 of their school peers.

The group tackled the teens’ lack of access to affordable, healthy food and low knowledge about nutrition and physical exertion.

It set up a promotion week, teaching nutrition to Year 7 students, offering healthy options at the canteen

Cree Oliveira defends 'happy pigs' during the plain speech regional final.

Class hastily crafted speech

Luke Attrill, Ngoc Tran, Sibel Bozkurt, Nikita I, Mikayla Camilleri and Mitchell Newman took on teen obesity on a world scale. and organising a Capture the Flag game.

They also ran a step-athon fund-raiser, planted a vegie garden and produced an informative website, teamhealthfgsc.com.

Their efforts won the Future Problem Solvers national championships in October -

after submitting a detailed report and presentation as well as passing an interview.

HEALTH coach Katie Byers said the experience was “truly life changing”.

“I feel truly and wholeheartedly blessed to have had the privilege to work with such amazing and gifted

young adults.”

Team captain Nikita added: “Would I go through all that trouble again? Definitely!

“Simply because I want to re-experience all the joy, the nervous butterflies and the delightful buzz at the conference all over again.”

Sometimes it pays not to overthink things.

Cree Oliveria, 18, of Nossal High School, won her way into the state final of the Plain English Speaking Awards with an inspired, last-minute speech on the success of the TV show Gogglebox.

The keen philosophy student and debater took the name of her speech from a line by 19th-century English thinker John Stuart Mill: “It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied.”

But Cree argued in ‘In defence of happy pigs’ that Gogglebox’s success showed that happiness and social cohesion did not need to bow to “intellectual snobbery”.

“If something gives you pleasure, it doesn’t matter if it’s highbrow or not.

“This kind of snobbery in our ap-

proach to culture and watching TV is unfounded.”

She says watching Gogglebox and reality TV generally gives “extraordinary insight” into what people are actually like.

Cree had hastily compiled her speech for the regional final after a fellow Nossal student pulled out sick. As a result, the speech had more levity than her previous entries on the death of indigenous languages and the importance of critical thinking.

“Now I’m just practising the prepared speech. I’m trying to memorise it as much as possible.”

The state final is held by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority on 26 July.

Crim history deters bail

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Berwick man has been allegedly discovered unconscious in a car with stolen goods, drugs, weapons and more than $5000 cash just two weeks after being bailed on similar offences.

Scott Mclean Rankine, 25, made an unsuccessful application for further bail at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 10 July.

He had been originally bailed by Ringwood police on 9 June after being allegedly found with a known female and multiple knives, a Taser, a pouch of methamphetamine and ecstasy, and

a marijuana joint in Ferntree Gully, the court was told.

Rankine also allegedly had a set of number plates stolen from Berwick railway station earlier that month.

The accused was next arrested unconscious with the female inside an unregistered purple Ford with false plates about 3.20am on 21 June.

Rankine was found with cannabis, a joint, an orange tablet, OC spray and 31 Xanax tablets.

A police search of the car allegedly discovered methamphetamine, a machete with a 35 centimetre blade,

extendable baton, a knife and another sharpened weapon.

There were also bank cards and distinctively packaged $5820 cash and coins allegedly stolen in an aggravated burglary in Glen Waverley three days earlier.

A further 30-centimetre machete and Uzi-brand handcuffs were then seized during a police raid of his home.

Defence lawyer Manny Nicolosi said Rankine claimed to have won the seized cash during an $11,000 win on pokies, and intended to fight the Ringwood charges.

Rankine would show cause for bail at the family home with strict conditions such as level-3 intensive CISP supervision, night curfew, non-association with the female companion and regular reporting to police, Mr Nicolosi submitted.

Magistrate Julie O’Donnell said she was concerned that Rankine kept offending while skipping appointments on his third community corrections order and just being released from jail.

“This person has just served a term of imprisonment, and it made no difference to his offending.

“Every step has been taken with Mr

Rankine. He’s done CISP before, and short sentences have failed to deter him.“ Mr Nicolosi said Rankine was noncompliant with his latest community corrections order due to the death of a close family friend. His grief led him to rekindling his meth habit, Mr Nicolosi said.

Ms O’Donnell took into account Rankine’s 10-page criminal history, saying the “ultimate outcomes aren’t favourable“ for the accused in this case.

Rankine’s bail was refused. He was remanded to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on 9 August.

Love speaks all languages

State Government funding is set to allow better outcomes in Monash Health’s maternity care with patients for whom English is a second language.

The government’s Language Service Innovation Grants program will allow Monash Health to create a more efficient data system to provide interpreters in their maternal health branch.

Chief Allied Health Officer Kate MacRae said while the system was in the development stage at the moment, Monash Health looked forward to improving outcomes for linguistically diverse patients.

“Around one in 10 maternity clients at Monash Health require an interpreter and we recognised some inefficiency in the way we engage professional interpreters for maternity clients,” she said.

“As a result, we have commenced an innovative project to improve the way we provide interpreter services in maternity.”

The new data system will allow the health care provider to quickly match patients with interpreters if that is what they prefer for an appointment or during labour.

“We hope to see an increase in the number of interpreters used, and we will measure the feedback from patients,” Ms McRae said.

Monash Health has embarked on this project as part of its member commitments to the Bridging the Gap partnership. Bridging the Gap brings together public hospitals, State Government departments, Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute to improive outcomes and experiences for patients.

Ms McRae said the new interpreter data system will help Monash Health to provide a comfortable and positive experience for maternity patients.

“The partnership prioritised improving women’s access to language services in birth suites, recognising the critical importance of communication in labour and potential to improve birth outcomes,” she said.

State Minister for Health Services Jill Hennessy and Minister for Multicultural Affairs Robin Scott both said the programs funded by the Language Service Innovation Grants program would help all Victorians.

“We are making sure Victoria’s culturally diverse communities can access the high quality and safe care they need and deserve, when they need it,” Ms Hennessy said.

Clad in badges and regalia, two youth exchange students were walking signboards for Mick Morland’s service as a Rotarian.

Caitlyn Langdon, who had been on a Rotary exchange in 2012, and visiting German student Lisa Bayer stood out from the vast funeral throng who gathered to pay respects to Mr Morland on 5 July.

Mr Morland was among the Rotary Club of Berwick panel that selected the then-16-year-old Ms Langdon for the life-changing exchange.

“He basically encouraged me to try my best and to take every chance,” Ms Langdon recalled, adding that the year-long German exchange had changed her life dramatically.

When she returned, Ms Langdon kept in touch with the service club that generously sponsored her.

Mr Morland would routinely rib her: “I thought I got rid of you years ago!”

Looking back, she remembers how Mr Morland parked himself behind the barbecue, happily chatting and turning sausages at the Rotary club’s Australia Day events.

Ms Langdon’s companion Lisa has been hosted by three of the club’s families during her year’s stay in Australia.

She attended the funeral just days before jetting home.

Ms Langdon was touched that some of the seven exchange students hosted by the Morlands were included in the service.

A Greenland student wrote in from overseas telling how she routinely received birthday and Christmas cards from the family.

“They did look at Mick as their Dad and their father figure.”

Opinion Warning signs I have sent the following message about the proposed suburb of McPherson to the City of Casey on a contact form and have no idea whether it was transmitted. The name of the suburb honours a pioneer of Clydesdale, near Yandoit, instead of a Clyde pioneer as claimed by the researchers engaged by the City of Casey.

This suburb is supposed to have been named after a resident of Clyde but as has been pointed out to you, the McPherson family lived at Clydesdale. A simple search on Trove will show that there is no McPherson, Clyde link and countless results can be found for McPherson, Clydesdale; this place being in Mt Franklin Shire north of Daylesford. Be warned that, as a local historian who detests the corruption of history, I will ridicule your municipality if it asks for this name to be gazetted.

On Friday 7 July, a little before 5pm, the Cranbourne Berwick News Facebook page published a short article about yet another Friday night smash on the Monash Freeway. A woman was taken to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition following the crash believed to have been between a car and a truck. Stories about the Freeway always attract a lot of attention online and this one was no different; here is how our readers reacted: Tammy Kane Radford: Once again an incident on the Monash involving a car and a truck! All too common occurrence of late. Seriously, something has to be done to see why there are weekly incidents on the Monash causing chaos.

Is it the road works? Is it people not obeying the reduced speed? Why is it commonly involving a truck? Are motorists really driving so impatiently? It is seriously becoming beyond frustrating!

Nicole Gaul: It’s because car drivers pull in front of trucks and it takes them a lot longer to stop it’s not the truck driver’s fault like everyone thinks. 95 per cent of the time it’s the car’s fault and the sooner the people realise the better because you keep blaming the trucks you won’t have food or fuel or anything.

Jodi Johnson: People cut off trucks and buses all the time and then brake suddenly in front of them. People zig-zagging across lanes.

On Thursday 6 July, the Cranbourne Berwick News solved the mystery of a set of signs along fisheries road that popped the big question to a woman named Loren. Turns out the signs belong to Adam Kondarios who asked his partner Loren Fuccio to marry him in a very public way.

Here is a little bit of how our readers reacted on Facebook: Rebecca Brown to Keira Miceli: This is what I seen when I was driving home and talking to you about lol.

Keira Miceli: How sweet.

Jo Merlino: Did you see these signs?

Danielle Ferrari-Mela was the cutest thing!

Danielle Ferrari-Mela: Omg no!!! How did I miss it!? I want to see photos, where are they? Lol Phoebs Smith: Congratulations Loren.

A vulnerable species of native orchid has been granted a second lease of life thanks to a Cranbourne-based botanist and the Victorian Royal Botanic Gardens.

Dr Noushka Reiter has propagated the seeds of the nationally threatened Elegant Spider Orchid (Caladenia Formosa) in her labs at the Cranbourne Botanic Gardens.

Dr Reiter has been working with orchids for about 10 years and runs the Orchids Conservation Program for the Royal Botanic Gardens of Victoria.

She says the work that has been put into recovering this particular flower has come to fruition as the flowers are reintroduced into the wild in regional Victoria in the coming weeks.

“The Caladenia Formosa was formerly widespread in Western Victoria and South Australia but have reduced in numbers over about the last 150-200 years due to land clearance, weeds and rabbits,” she said.

“There are less than 100 of these known in the wild, but we’ve been working on this and four other species thanks to Landcare funding from the Federal Government.”

Dr Reiter and her team have been working with the incredibly small and delicate orchid seeds, helping them to propagate in a particular type of fungi.

“We have been propagating them with mycorrhizal fungi,” she said.

“All orchids are reliant upon fungi to propagate the fungi transfer carbon and various nutrients to the orchid; it works kind of like their root system.”

“Orchid seeds are the smallest known plant seeds we have, so they don’t have the lovely nu-

The Elegant Spider Orchid (Caladenia Formosa) is being reintroduced to the wild thanks to a Cranbourne-based botanist. trient layer around them like other seeds.”

“So, they get nutrients from the fungi and we allow the fungi and seed to meet so the seed can germinate.”

Dr Reiter and a team of volunteers from the Australasian Native Orchid Society will be reintroducing 180 of these rare flowers into the wilds of Western Victoria.

She said there was no value anyone could place on preserving and revegetating the natural biodiversity of the Australian landscape.

“Not losing a single species is really important and we can’t overvalue the biodiversity we have, and it’s something worth saving for future generations.”

The Australasian Native Orchid Society has been helping Dr Reiter achieve her goals for almost 10 years and Richard Thompson from the society said the level of community involvement had been a great help.

“There have been plenty of local people to come along and see what we are doing,” he said.

“Quite a lot of the planting we are doing is on private land and we have found the landowners are keen to help too.”

Mr Thompson said he was surprised at first to learn how interested the farmers were in helping reintroduce endangered plant species.

“I’m a city person myself, but these farmers really care about the land as long as it is not threatening their productivity, they are keen to be involved and help.”

Dr Reiter and the team of volunteers will also be reintroducing of several more rare species including Thelymitra Mackibbinii (Brilliant Sun Orchid), Caladenia Colorata (Coloured Spider Orchid) and Caladenia Versicolor (Candy Spider Orchid).

The reintroduction of these orchids has been made possible through funding from the Federal Government’s National Landcare Program in partnership with Parks Victoria, Trust for Nature, the WCMA and the Grampians Threatened Species Hub.

‘Skids’ boss behind bars A Narre Warren North man has been jailed for being the “architect” of the notorious South East Skids hoon meets as well as drug trafficking and firearm offences.

During sentencing, Caspar De Waij, 23, was chastised by County Court judge Lisa Hannan for his disregard for the law in organising “high-risk driving on public streets” that endangered crowds of spectators.

She read out a damning text message from De Waij on 23 August that declared “the South (East Skids) is coming with a bang” ahead of a meet captured on CCTV. “Buckle up and hold on to your mum’s t**s.

“It’s time to just get out and smash sets. And let’s lose cars to taskforce ‘I spend more money chasing hoons than sex offenders’.”

In the lead-up, a procession of Skids hoons had been marched through Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. Some were jailed, some had their cars crushed.

But De Waij wrote: “Let’s bring back the old days.”

He was arrested two days later.

On 11 July, Judge Hannan said it was a very serious, calculated and pre-meditated example of reckless conduct endangering serious injury.

He also pleaded guilty to being a prohibited person possessing a 0.41-calibre shotgun found in Narre Warren and a loaded 0.44 lever-action rifle found under a bed in Carnegie.

The rifle, found with 19 rounds of ammunition, had been stolen from a Cranbourne address.

De Waij dropped it at the house with about $5000 worth of ecstasy and ketamine, just before driving himself to The Alfred hospital to treat a shotgun wound.

Police discovered matching ecstasy tablets and matching rifle ammo as well as $4750 of stolen jewellery in De Waij’s BMW. According to police intercepts, he obtained the BMW in return for a drug debt.

This series of offences began just five weeks after De Waij had been released from custody in April 2016.

He had a “substantial” criminal history, including speeding at 240km/h on a freeway.

a community corrections order.

In 2013, he’d addressed a road trauma awareness course - an attitude that proved either “insincere” or “short-lived”, Judge Hannan said.

His prospects of rehabilitation were “guarded at best”.

“In my view you are an arrogant young man who has not learnt from prior experience in the justice system.”

Judge Hannan noted the Dutch-born De Waij had a childhood marred by trauma without “real guidance”, and a diagnosed borderline personality disorder.

He had claimed he had been shot, stabbed, kidnapped, abused multiple substances and had a head injury.

“I hope you have the determination and courage to make the changes necessary to step out of the revolving door of drugs and custody,” Judge Hannan said.

She said she must balance De Waij’s possible rehabilitation with the need to protect the community from his “entrenched” offending.

De Waij was jailed for 32 months, with a minimum of 20.

He had already served 321 days in pre-sentence remand.

Dealing with the dragons Actors came out breathing fire in a Dreadful Dragons show at Narre Warren library on 7 July.

The knights were out to curb a seriously rude dragon, who tripped old ladies, stole lollies and burned people’s backsides.

The Carp Productions show didn’t fail to amuse its young school holiday audience.

Pokie losses mounting up

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Pokie losses in Casey are expected to rise to at least $126 million in 2016'17, according to official statistics.

With one month’s figures yet to be counted, the 2016-'17 total stands at $116.7 million. It should comfortably pass the previous year's $124.8 mark in losses.

It comes as anti-pokies figures criticised the State Government’s announced freeze on poker machine numbers in Victoria until 2042.

Tom Cummings, who is fighting

against Berwick Spring Hotel’s application for 10 extra poker machines, said the freeze was a missed opportunity.

“It sounds great, but it isn’t.

“What they’re doing is doing nothing for the next 25 years.”

He said the government would likely face a “large amount of blowback” if it sought to increase machine numbers.

South Eastern Metropolitan Greens MP Nina Springle said the freeze would continue pokies’ ripping of “bil-

lions of dollars” from Victorian communities.

“The government claims this move will limit gambling-related harm, but significant harm is already being done by the huge number of new pokies that have been approved in Victoria over the past decade,” Ms Springle said.

“Local councils have opposed the majority of applications for new pokie licenses over the past 18 months, but Victoria’s gambling regulator has continued to approve new machines regardless of the social harm they’re doing.”

She said the Greens proposed $1 bet limits, mandatory pre-commitment and more powers for councils to reject applications for poker machines.

Monash University gambling researcher Charles Livingstone said under the freeze, the harms would become more entrenched.

In 2010, the Productivity Commission estimated the social cost of problem gambling in Australia at $4.7 billion a year.

“For every person directly and seriously harmed by gambling, we know that six others are affected,” Dr Living-

stone said.

“Families, children, spouses, colleagues, employers, and friends all suffer significantly.”

Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Marlene Kairouz said “not a single extra gaming machine will be allowed in Victoria for the next 25 years” which would help limit gambling-related harm.

More harm minimisation measures relating to pokie machines will be announced in coming months, she said.

Smart work with phone gets issue into clearer focus

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Amazing what you can do with a smartphone.

Berwick teenager Callum Pritchard has just smartly filmed and edited a short film that stretches the potential of his hand-held device.

His film Behind Closed Doors a pointed look at a teenager living in a domestic violence household boasts many technical feats.

There’s slow-mo action, dramatic soundtrack, fast, silky editing and crisp lighting. Though there’s a roaming hand-held feel, it’s easy to forget it’s captured on a smartphone.

It’s Callum’s second entry in the annual SmartFone Flick Fest (SF3) - an international film festival for films shot only on smartphones and tablets.

He says he learnt much from analysing the winners in last year’s comp.

“They were inspiring. It’s interesting how the winner actually filmed as if a person was walking around with a phone.

“It didn’t seem so put-on.”

As with many 14-year-olds, the Beaconhills College student is not threatened by filming on a smartphone.

Basically, the device is always in his pocket, ready for filming on a second’s notice.

However, his mind is also on the quality of lighting, the sharpness of image.

He then used simple movie-editing software on his tablet to slow down the action and weave together the scenes shot on location around Berwick.

“It’s pretty user-friendly. You can pretty much learn it all in one sitting.”

His film’s topical, heavy subject matter was chosen because simply, domestic violence shouldn’t hap-

pen, he said.

“It’s thought that domestic violence just affects the parents but it also affects the people around them.

“It affects so many people. I think just getting the word out there might just help.”

Callum centred the film on a teenage girl, starkly showing her angst and isolation while her parents fight.

“She didn’t have anyone to reach out to. There was no one there to reach out and ask ‘Are you OK?’”.

Callum is already setting his sights on a career in film, inspired by the likes of The Conjuring horror maestro James Wan. “I think that he’s just the way he goes about his films. They’re all different.

“He doesn’t just go along with all the other movies.”

Entries for SF3 close on 1 August. Details: sf3.com.au.

Ms Anderson said Australians are generally good at catching and reporting scams, but some scams are harder to spot than others.

“Scammers locate genuine ATO numbers from our website and project these numbers in their caller ID in an attempt to legitimise their call - a form of impersonation known as “spoofing”.

“While we do make thousands of calls per week to the community, our outbound calls do not project numbers on caller ID. If one appears, it’s most likely a scam.

“People should be wary of emails, phone calls and SMS during tax time that claims to be from the ATO, even if it seems legitimate.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is reminding Australians to stop and think before giving their personal details or hard-earned money to scammers this tax time.

Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson said 48,084 scams were reported to the ATO between July and October last year.

“We have already seen a five-fold increase in scams from January to May this year and typically expect further increases during the tax time period,” Ms Anderson said.

“Already this year, the ATO has registered over 17,067 scam reports. Of these, 113 Australians handed over $1.5 million to fraudsters with about 2500 providing some form of personal information, including tax file numbers.

“One victim lost $900,000 to scammers over the course of several months, even borrowing money from family and friends.

“The large number of people lodging their tax returns means scammers are particularly active, so it’s important to keep an eye out for anything that looks suspicious and protect your

Stars fight violence

David McKay and coach John Jager in front of the table-tennis serving machine. 170259

Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS

Newer spin on old skill

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Table tennis has hit a new era of silver service at Beaconsfield Neighbourhood Centre.

The activities club has scored a $1200 appliance that automatically serves ping pong balls with varying slice and spin, and also catches the returns of serve.

With a 64-program repertoire of serves, it is akin to what was used by the English and Swedish teams to prepare for the 2016 Olympics, says player David McKay. Mr McKay said the sport was great for

honing the motor skills of young and old.

For senior players, it was an effective barrier to dementia; for the young, it is a fun, non-contact sport.

Casey Cardinia Libraries have joined in the celebration of the 2018 Commonwealth Games being held in Australia by inviting people to help them fold paper stars.

The stars form part of a wider One Million Stars initiative, with each star representing a peaceful statement against all forms of violence in our communities.

The project invited members of the community to come together peacefully and engage in conversations about the effects of violence and ways to end violent behaviour.

Hampton Park Library set an ambitious target of folding 10,000 of the multi-coloured stars with help from other library branches and local schools.

“We have just over 9000 stars here,” Hampton Park Library officer Tracy Howard said.

“We extend our thanks to staff participating at our other branch libraries in Doveton, Endeavour Hills, Pakenham, Narre Warren and the mobile library.”

“Thanks also to Hallam Senior Secondary College students and teachers who made another 3000, while Berwick Lodge Primary contributed 90.”

Casey Cardinia Libraries CEO Chris Buckingham said the project was a great way for the libraries to demonstrate their commitment to supporitng the end to violence in the community.

“In a region where family violence is far too high, we have a responsibility to make sure that people who are at risk feel safe in our libraries and can access support services,” Mr Buckingham said.

“Every one of us knows someone who has been adversely affected by family violence and how we choose

Karishma Chands from Hallam Secondary College was one of the students who helped reach the 10,000 star goal. 169973 Picture: GARY SISSONS to respond to family violence will have a direct impact in our community,” he said.

“Libraries have a vital role to play in providing safe places where people can gather, share knowledge and have conversations.”

The stars will be shipped off to the Gold Coast to form part of the art installation displayed during the Commonwealth Games next year.

“This has been a great project allowing the community to work with us; those 10,000 stars seemed like a huge amount when we first started,” Mr Buckingham said.

Teams also competed for prizes and trophies during the event as well as joined in activities to keep everyone motivated and have a great time.

The event attracted support from groups such as the City of Casey, Casey RACE and the Kiwanis Club of Berwick.

MS Event co-ordinator Kelly Tyndall said the Casey 24 Hour Swim event was a great success.

Furious residents have slammed the company behind the controversial Bunyip North quarry proposal for ignoring their concerns. At an emotionally charged public meeting on 23 March, residents of Bunyip, Garfield and surrounding communities met with Hanson Construction Materials, expecting to have an open discussion.

Instead, residents have slammed the meeting as a “waste of time”.

Mount Cannibal and District Preservation Group treasurer David Bywater said Bunyip Hall was “chock-a-block full” of residents wanting an update on the 134-hectare granite quarry, mooted for a site about 500 metres from local icon Mount Cannibal.

“But then the new project manager came in and said it was decided the content of the meeting was not about community information, but the process of the EES (Environmental Effects Statement),” Mr Bywater said.

“We said, ‘that’s OK as long as you answer questions’, which they agreed to.”

However, the open discussion was

He said the community was disappointed by the meeting.

“Not one question that was put - and there would have been 30 plus questions put - not one was successfully, honestly or completely answered,” Mr Bywater said.

“It seems the whole point of the meeting was for Hanson to tick off one of the requirements of the EES which is to engage with the community.”

The EES was ordered by State Planning Minister Richard Wynne in 2015 to identify the large-scale project’s significant environmental effects and propose measures to reduce these.

According to those in attendance, Hanson told the estimated 100-person crowd that it was just beginning the statement - due to take two years “however there are no red flags”.

Mr Bywater said he just about fell over.

“How can they say there are no red flags when they haven’t done the EES?” he said.

Accusing the company of trying to “water down” the environmental impacts, Mr Bywater said it was pretty clear “if you dig a big hole there’s go-

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Rail loop petition

By Bonny Burrows Calls for an extended rail line from Cranbourne to Kooweerup are gathering pace as the Kooweerup airport becomes a very real possibility.

A community petition for an extended rail line between the two towns has obtained more than 1000 supporters since its creation three months ago, with locals backing creator David Dobson’s plans for a Cranbourne train line loop to free up busy roads and reduce isolation in rural areas.

It follows the announcement an overseas investor has pledged to fund the $5 billion south east airport in Kooweerup.

Under Mr Dobson’s proposal, the Cranbourne/Pakenham line would extend to include Kooweerup, Tooradin, Wonthaggi and Leongatha through the use of existing unused lines and the creation of new tracks.

The Clyde North man said such rail loop would “help so much” if the international airport came to fruition.

If green-lighted, the Kooweerup airport would rival Tullamarine in size, servicing up to 5 million domestic passenger movements annually.

“We’ve seen how Tullamarine is - the traffic to the airport is hectic.

So let’s be proactive about it and get ready (for a local airport) with safer alternatives,” Mr Dobson said.

“And then when/if the airport happens, there will already be a ful-

Bunnings is encouraging plastic pot recycling.

Plastic solution A petition for an extended local rail line has gained more than 1000 supporters. 142481 ly functioning train line to and from the city.”

Even if the airport was “some way into the future - if at all”, Mr Dobson said the need for a rail extension was still there, and wasn’t going away.

“There isn’t much public transport out there, in the Tooradin, Kooweerup, and Wonthaggi areas," Mr Dobson said.

“And I know a lot of people who have disadvantages and are unable to find work, who are either travelling long distances for work on our roads, leading to gridlocked roads, or are isolated,” Mr Dobson said.

“A Paky-Cranbourne loop would free up a lot of high traffic and move a lot of people quicker to their destinations, and the elderly who prefer to catch the train into the city for appointments rather than drive could do so.”

While the petition has yet to be formally presented to local councils, it has been discussed “positively” with Greater Dandenong.

The City of Casey has previously indicated its support for an improved rail network.

Mayor Sam Aziz told Star News on 4 July road infrastructure, including a better rail network, was the “missing piece” of the air-

port’s puzzle.

An airport couldn’t be supported with current infrastructure, councillor Aziz said.

Cardinia Shire has also in the past hinted at the importance of rail upgrades if a south east airport were to exist.

Mr Dobson said he was meeting with government representatives in the coming weeks.

The petition can be found at: www.change.org/p/david-hodgettcranbourne-pakenham-loop-trainline-extension-including-koo-weerup-phillip-island

Cranbourne residents have a new way to dispose of their old plastic plant pots.

The Bunnings store is part of a new trial recycling program.

The pots aren’t able to be recycled through kerbside programs because of contamination issues with cleaning and sorting processes.

So Bunnings Cranbourne is encouraging residents to bring in their plastic pots - no matter how old, dirty or broken - and drop them in a designated cage.

Polymer Processes will pick up and recycle the pots, and Garden City Plastics will turn them into new pots for use by greenlife growers.

A Garden City Plastics spokesperson said recycling plastic used less energy than producing it from raw materials.

The energy saving is about 56 gigajoules per tonne of plastic - the electricity used in two Australian homes in a year.

Bunnings Cranbourne complex manager Simon Taylor said they were excited to trial the new service.

“It’s a simple and effective way to do our bit for the environment,” he said.

Help needed to ward off the winter cold Pakenham-base developer Parklea has teamed up with local charity 4Cs for the second year running to provide food to vulnerable people this winter.

From Saturday 1 July, Parklea has been accepting nonperishable food donations that will be passed on to 4Cs to make sure no-one goes hungry in the colder months.

Last year the Pakenham and surrounding community donated 330kg of food to 4Cs to provide meals and staple foods to struggling families.

4Cs general manager Cheryl Daly said she was hoping this year’s food drive would be just as successful as last year’s.

“With over 300 families accessing our food room service each month, these items have

made a wonderful contribution,” she said.

“Thankyou to everyone who willingly donated items for the food drive.”

Ms Daly said winter could be a really tough time for families experiencing desperate situations due to violence and other issues that lead to poverty.

“Over the winter period many families have been doing it tough and have needed an extra hand to get them through," she said.

Sales and marketing manager at Parklea Jarod Mills said the food drive never failed to bring out the best of the community.

“We continue to be amazed at the generosity of members of our local communities and hope

to be able to deliver even more to needy families in this year’s food drive,” he said.

“As a developer of communities, we feel it’s important to give back and support local initiatives that help the most vulnerable.”

Members of the public can donate to the food drive with non-perishable items such as long-life milk, cereal, and canned food up until the end of winter.

Drop-off pints will be set up at the Timbertop Estate Sales Office or Arena Shopping Centre.

For more information about the drive, visit www.parklea. com/winterfooddrive.

NOT often does a property come on the market that offers so much potential to so many. Located equally close to both Emerald Village shops and services and the buzzing Worrell Reserve end of town with Woolies, Emerald Library and the soon to be developed Emerald Hub.

As an investor, looking at the zoning, there is huge potential here (STCA).

MELBOURNE’S buoyant property market is boosting the median house price of towns within commuting distance of the city.

The latest REIV data shows Greater Geelong accounted for almost half of the state’s top growth suburbs in the year to 30 March.

East Geelong experienced Victoria’s largest price growth over the year, up just shy of 30 per cent to a median house price of $575,000.

Meanwhile, Castlemaine, north west of Melbourne, recorded the highest annual growth outside of Geelong.

House prices in the town increased 19.1 per cent over the year to March to a median of $452,500, up from $380,000 for the same period last year.

Strong annual price growth was also recorded in Stawell with the median house price up 14.4 per cent to $210,000.

Double-digit increases were also experienced in Warragul and nearby Drouin, up 12.2 and 11.5 per cent respectively to median house prices of $388,000 and $379,500.

Solid annual price growth was also recorded in Morwell, up 11.3 per cent to a median house price of $170,000; Kilmore, up 11.1 per cent to $368,000 and Heathcote, up 10 per cent to $292,500.

It's a home that will accommodate families large or small in complete comfort with five bedrooms, study, exceptional living areas, three bathrooms and a triple garage.

Flanked by wide shaded verandahs and fully established gardens and lawns with mature specimen trees extending to areas of native vegetation. A wonderful paradise for the garden lovers!

There is a nearby 7.5m x 12m Colorbond work shed plus purpose-built, tilt slab constructed cellar door/winery with current liquor licence - presenting a wonderful opportunity to pursue a passion for wine making/brewing on an income producing level. An existing vineyard of about two acres will require some replanting and will benefit from further maintenance. Water to the vineyard is via

two dams.

The property holds further potential for B&B accommodation, corporate functions/ retreats, subject to approvals.

It's located just 1.3km from the Princes Highway and just minutes from popular Beaconsfield and Berwick townships, a range of excellent schools, uni and a comfortable commute to Melbourne CBD via the Monash Freeway.

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

Fight is on at dinner Dicky Custerson was always up for supporting a cause.

The founder and principal of sports and entertainment management company A Positive Move has supported many over the years.

None was as close to his heart as Neale Daniher’s battle to find a cure for Motor Neuron Disease.

Dicky participated in the first Daniher Drive which was aimed at raising funds and awareness for the Fight MND quest.

The fun, four-day road trip is now in its third year and has so far raised $267,297 of its goal of $1 million.

Sadly, Dicky passed away after a short battle with cancer late last year and was represented in the 2016 event by his wife

Leanne and best mates Brett and Jodie Lovett.

This year Brett is fronting up again and has enlisted a second car from his uncle at Mansfield’s Propagation Nursery.

A Positive Move is organising a Variety and Auction Night fundraiser on Saturday 29 July at the Frankston Dolphins Football Club for the cause.

The night - with the catchcry ‘Doin’ it for Dicky’ - will be compered by Shawn Cosgrove of The Price is Right fame, with entertainment from the hilarious Nelson Twins.

Tickets are $30 a head and tables of 10 are available.

To book contact shantelle@mansfields. org.au or saree@apositivemove.com.au

Tips and tricks on how to protect wildlife This event is for anyone who has ever wondered what to do when being swooped by a magpie or when a bluetongued lizard suddenly appears or maybe when a possum is found curled up inside the garage roof.

Wildlife Victoria is running a free community event at Bunyip Hall on Saturday 22 July to share lots of cool tips and tricks to help people co-exist better with the wonderful native wildlife.

Teaming up with RACV on a statewide educational road show, Wildlife Victoria has finally made it to Gippsland.

“Each event is tailored to educate about specific wildlife in the area, so for Bunyip we will be looking at animals such as kangaroos, wombats, magpies and possums,” said Zaylee from Wildlife Victoria.

The event is designed to equip locals with knowledge about the wildlife in their own backyard and what people can do for the native wildlife to bridge the gap between communities and living harmoniously with native creatures.

Speaking at the event will be Jen, a representative from Mange Management

group, discussing how to manage mange in wombats and what to do if a mangeaffected wombat is spotted.

Also speaking will be local volunteer rescuer Michelle who will share tips about the local wildlife and steps to take if an injured animal is found.

The event is family friendly, and there will be giveaways for the kids.

The event is being held on Saturday 22 July from 2pm to 3.30pm at the Bunyip Hall, Main Road, Bunyip.

To register head over to the Wildlife Victoria website or phone 9445 0310.

Rescue joey keeps warm in his blanket pouch.

Football players with Judith Graley, right, were in the pink at the Breast Cancer Awareness Cup.

Fountain Gate football club took out a keenly contested win against Hampton Park for the eighth annual Breast Cancer Awareness Cup. About $400 was raised by the home team Hampton Park

John Follett on his Clyde North farm. 170255

State award for veteran show helper

By Casey Neill Hampton Park man John Follett has been a Dandenong Show fixture for more than 60 years.

His service to the Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society event and other local shows earned him a meritorious service award at the Victorian Agricultural Shows’ annual convention which was held in Shepparton on 1 and 2 July.

“John has a wonderful community ethic and dedication, always ready to assist where he can,” the convention heard when John received the honour.

“He is probably called on more than his fair share because of his willingness and pleasant manner.

“He also has a wealth of knowledge regarding shows that is invaluable.”

John, 74, said the honour rated a close second to the 60 years’ service award that Dandy Show legend Jack Rae presented him at last year’s show AGM. “Jack knows me longer than I have known Jack,” he said.

Jack knew John’s dad, Alf, who was a Dandenong Show life member.

“My grandparents were originally breeding Clydesdale horses where Moorabbin aerodrome is now,” John said.

“My grandfather was a trustee of the Heatherton Recreational Reserve in Ross Street, Heatherton.

“The Heatherton carnival and bazaar; my father was president of for a number of years.”

From there Alf joined the Dandenong Show in the early 1950s.

“At that stage he was a market gardener at Noble Park,” John said.

“Then Dad branched out into cattle, and we had 70 acres at Nar Nar Goon North.

“We sold that and bought this property (in Clyde North).

“We’ve gradually increased the size of it over

the years to having two adjoining properties with the 320 acres.”

He has about 160 cattle on the farm, mainly for meat but also for breeding. He has about 12 head on his 10 acres at Hampton Park.

John automatically followed his dad into show life, “which was a custom of families back in those times”.

He joined the Dandenong Show committee in 1971, was president in 1981, 2002 and 2003, and served on various sub-committees.

John’s been a safety committee member since 2000, security chairman for more than 20 years and the grounds committee chairman since 2015.

John was awarded life membership at Dandenong in 1992.

He received the same honour from the Berwick Agricultural and Horticultural Society in 2007.

He’s been a Berwick member since the 1980s, joined the committee in 1992 and is the occupational health and safety chairman.

He attends meetings with the Greater Dandenong and Casey councils to elicit ongoing support for the Dandy and Berwick shows.

John has volunteered on the Pakenham Show gates for many years, and now helps with the broadcast van for public announcements.

He’s enjoyed “the friendships that you make, and the appreciation of the effort that you put in”.

“I visit other shows as an observer and help wherever I can,” he said.

“It’s my connection with the land, with agricultural aspects, and the mateships that you cultivate over the years with your involvement.

“I’ve got friends throughout Victoria and also interstate.”

John said he’d be involved with the shows indefinitely.

“Hopefully, they don’t have to wheel me in a wheelchair to see it, but I hope to continue my role as far as assisting with the show,” he said.

and Parkmore Junior Football Club. That sum will be matched

by Fountain Gate.

Both sides wore unique pink uniforms for the occasion.

Hampton Park also paid tribute to a club member who had succumbed to breast cancer last year.

Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley, who pre-

sented the winner’s cup, paid tribute to the players’ “great strength, tenacity and dedication” to the game and the cause.

“It is a terrible reality that breast cancer continues to impact so many people, however the work both these clubs are doing on this important issue demonstrates that we can help change this reality for our community in the future.”

State nod for Breana

By David Nagel If hard work and dedication are the hallmarks of success, then keep an eye out for Pakenham’s Breana Granger on the biggest basketball stages in the coming years.

The 11-year-old power forward has been selected to represent Victoria in the School Sport Australia Pacific Basketball Championships to be held in Adelaide in early December.

Breana, who attends Timbarra P-9 College in Berwick, is part of a 10-strong squad that will represent the state in the Girls 12 Years and Under competition.

“To be picked as one of the top10 players in Victoria was really surprising but very exciting,” said the dedicated Breana, who plays or trains basketball seven days a week.

Making the squad was no easy feat with a long selection process required to sort out the best basketballers from across the state. Breana’s elite skills and fitness saw her survive the first and second rounds of trials before the final step took its course.

“There were 80 of us left and we did drills, then played a game, did more drills then played again, and it kept going like that,” Breana said.

“It was just so exciting to hear my name called out.”

Breana started her journey as an eight-year-old in Hoop Time, a pro-

gram that offers children in Grades 3/4 (Junior) and Grades 5/6 (Senior) the opportunity to play in a fun interschool competition with qualified referees.

Breana progressed quickly and soon found herself in a representative squad with the Dandenong Rangers.

She currently plays for the Rangers Under 14s and can’t speak highly enough of the program.

“We train twice a week, on Tuesday and Sunday, and there’s lots of running involved, learning about defence, and learning how to run plays and set screens, that type of thing,” Breana said.

“But I like it all, the speed is really fast and there’s lots of running involved but I’m growing and developing as a player and I really enjoy that feeling.”

Breana is also part of the Basketball Victoria Country Junior program, and was last year selected for the annual BVC Jamboree in Echuca - a congregation of the best country basketballers in the state.

Combining Rangers and Regional commitments, along with private training sessions and two games a week, Breana spends all seven days on the court in some capacity.

Her parents, Phil and Leanne, make sure her basketball commitments are balanced out with a healthy

dose of homework.

So who are her heroes and what are her ambitions?

“I really like Penny Taylor, she’s a great player who played for Dandenong and went on to play for Australia at the Olympics,” Breana said.

“And one day I’d love to go to college in America and play basketball over there.”

Breana has special people that she would like to thank for helping her along her journey.

“Mum and dad have been really supportive, getting me to training and that type of thing, and Trevor Burnette (from ‘Team Energy’ at Hoops 24-7 in Dandenong) has really helped along the way,” Breana said.

Breana and the family also wanted to pay special tribute to Timbarra P-9 for their ongoing support.

“We could not ask for anything else from the school,” said Breana’s mum Leanne.

“We would like to thank Matt Tyndall (vice-principal) and Maura Conroy (office) for their continued support. It’s an absolutely amazing primary school that will always come up with an alternative to fit basketball and school together.”

Breana’s siblings, twin sister Katie, older sister Brooke, and brothers Reece and Jamie are also very proud of her achievement.

A strong work ethic has seen Timbarra P-9 student Breana Granger selected to represent Victoria in Adelaide later this year. 170395 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Five in a row for Stingrays as the points stack up

By Nick Creely An avalanche of goals late in the final term has seen the Dandenong Stingrays bank their fifth straight victory against Calder Cannons by 23-points on Saturday.

Down at RAMS Arena, the Cannons had all the running early with the wind, slamming on three goals in the first 10 minutes, before the sharpshooting Riley D’Arcy finally banked a goal to kick start the ‘Rays.

But a late goal to impressive forward Lachlan Scholl saw the Cannons take a 20-point quarter time lead.

A pair of Jamie Plumridge goals was the only thing of note in the second quarter, with the ‘Rays butchering their chances for goal, kicking eight behinds for the quarter to be trailing by a solitary point at half time.

Although they dominated most of the play in the second, it was full of wasted opportunities going inside the attacking arc.

And not even the break - and perhaps a change of boots - could turn things around in the third, with the ‘Rays once again not finding their range in front of goal, kicking 2.4 for

They changed their game style to bring their runners into the game in the final quarter, with the ‘Rays playing a more direct, fast and quick style of play.

Sluggish start costs Casey

By Nick Creely

VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE

It took Casey well over an hour to settle into Saturday’s clash with Richmond - but by then it was too late.

With heavy wind and rain setting in to Holm Park in Beaconsfield through the game, the Demons paid for their poor start, with Richmond running out 28-point winners in the end.

In a typical wet weather match of football reliant on gaining territory, the Dees were lacklustre as the Tigers bullied them in the stoppages and used their pace on the outside to create opportunities up forward.

It took until near the 20th minute for the first goal to be scored through Tigers’ forward Callum Moore, who ran into an open goal in front of a napping Casey defence.

Another goal on the quarter time siren to Corey Ellis saw the Tigers take an early and ominous 16-point lead.

As the rain got heavier, the Tigers’ intensity got fiercer, as the Demons struggled to halt the momentum.

Quick goals to Danko Bzenic (three goals) and Todd Elton (two goals) early in the second quarter saw the margin blow out to 29-points, before a piece of magic from Alyosio Ferreira - with a mid-air volley through the goal - finally gave the Demons their first major.

But it was short lived as the zippy Shai Bolton, Bzenic and Tom Silvestro piled on quick goals to hand the Demons a 40-point half time deficit.

More pressure and intensity returned to the Demons in the second half with a win unlikely, as Jack Trengove, Ben Kennedy and Jimmy Munro (17 tackles) started to get the game on their terms, cracking in hard and giv-

Understandably disappointed, Casey coach Justin Plapp didn’t pull any punches in describing his side’s first half.

“We were terrible in the first half,” Plapp said.

“They (Richmond) were pretty good for four quarters, but we were pretty ordinary for a quarter and it cost us.”

Despite being dominated around the ground in the first half, Plapp was pleased with the side’s fight in the second half.

“We adjusted some things at halftime,” he said.

“We certainly got the game back on our terms.

“I’m disappointed, make no mistake about it, but I think with where our club is at the moment ... it was a respectable loss in the second half.”

The Demons fall out of the eight as a result and sit with a 6-6 record, and have the bye this week.

Although the scoreboard looks unfavourable, Clearihan was proud of his side’s effort despite being obviously outclassed.

“We had 12 players out - that hurts when you take those girls out against top sides, but to the girls’ credit they battled hard,” he said.

Saturday at Casey Fields saw Cranbourne as the student and Darebin as the teacher.

And in the Eagles’ 94-point loss to the premiership favourites, the 22 pupils learnt just what it takes to make it in the leading women’s competition in the country.

Matched up against AFL stars Daisy Pearce, Darcy Vescio, Katie Brennan and Mel Hickey, the Falcons flattened the Eagles, allowing them just one goal for the match while their side slammed on 14 themselves.

It took until the early parts of the final quarter for the Eagles to finally score a point, with the Falcons’ impenetrable defence counter-attacking with class when the ball rarely got down there.

“Darebin are a quality unit - they are by far the best side we’ve played, and are getting all their players back at the right time - they’re a professional outfit,” coach Sein Clearihan said.

“The girls learnt how professional the competition is and the discipline of how Darebin were with their structures and rotations.

Strong finish for Cavaliers

By Nick Creely BIG V BASKETBALL REVIEW ROUND 15 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MEN The Casey Cavaliers have virtually secured fifth spot with three rounds to go after defeating McKinnon 74-67 on Sunday at Casey Indoor.

With only a couple of games left in the regular home and away season, the Cavs got the job done over the seventh placed Cougars, a team looking to keep it’s finals hopes alive.

The game was a defensive grind throughout, with the Cavs’ defence holding up firm in a tense last quarter that netted just 20 points between the two sides.

Raheem Lemons (25 points, 10 rebounds, five assists) led the Cavs to an important victory, while Brandon Polk (15 points) also played out a strong game.

The Cavs get to enjoy the weekend off now, before facing Corio Bay on 23 July at Casey Indoor.

DIVISION ONE WOMEN It was a truly disappointing performance for the Cavs against bottom-placed Westernport, going down 83-58 at Dromana on Sunday.

As a result, the Cavs are in a vulnerable position in second last, and could potentially finish

the season as wooden spooners.

The Steelers actually trailed by four points at half time, before a stirring 26-17 third term saw them snatch the lead from the Cavs, before dominating 24-4 in the final term.

The Cavs had very little answers in the second half, with only Rebecca Borham (21 points, five rebounds) a bright spark.

Casey will make a trip out to face Latrobe City Energy on Sunday, as they look to avoid relegation next season.

YOUTH LEAGUE TWO MEN Casey appears certain for a top two finish after a mixed weekend of results for the Youth League team.

Saturday night saw them dismantle Chelsea Gulls 83-49 at Casey Indoor as expected, before going down surprisingly the next day to Westernport 79-67.

Against the Gulls, the Cavs controlled the game from the beginning, putting distance between their opponent on the scoreboard right from the outset.

A late fadeout by the Gulls saw the Cavs push the margin out late and give them a massive confidence booster.

Mitchell Gooiker had 15 points and nine rebounds and Hunter Marks had 11 points, 12 rebounds and five assists.

But that momentum couldn’t

be carried through down at Dromana on Sunday, with the Steelers leading the contest right from the start and looking comfortably against the Cavs.

Every time the Cavs pushed hard and looked to be regaining control, the Steelers always had the answers.

Despite the loss, the Cavs remain in second but unlikely to topple top placed Pakenham Warriors with a round left to play.

The Cavs hit the road on Saturday night with a clash against Warrnambool Seahawks at the ARC Sports Stadium.

YOUTH LEAGUE TWO WOMEN It was just one of those games for the third placed Cavs, who went down surprisingly to Southern Peninsula 69-53 at home on Sunday.

The game belonged purely to the Sharks right from the very start, playing three strong quarters to control the contest even with the Cavs trying to fight their way back in.

An impressive 26-point third quarter couldn’t be reeled in during the last quarter, with the Sharks holding on despite Alyssa Weston (20 points) putting in her best efforts for the Cavs.

The Cavs have the perfect opportunity to bounce back on Sunday when they face the Westernport Steelers at Dromana.

Comets win keeps them in touch

By Nick Creely FFV STATE LEAGUES REVIEW - CATCH UP ROUNDS The weekend was a state wide break for the majority of team’s around the state, with only a few select matches being played in the FFV Catch Up Round, in which games that were postponed earlier in the season could be played.

STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH EAST A brace to Casey Comets’ Dejan Radojicic has seen his side record a 2-0 victory over the struggling Morwell Pegasus at Comets Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Needing a win to stay in touch, the Comets got on the board in the opening minutes through Radojicic, who used poise to find the back of the net.

Radojicic again goaled right on the stroke of half time, to give his side a second goal.

No side was able to score in the second half despite the Comets having several opportunities.

The Comets are in eighth spot with five wins, three draws and six losses.

No other games were played over the weekend.

STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH EAST Berwick City hosted North Caulfield at Jack Thomas Reserve in a catch-up match after the original fixture earlier in the season was postponed.

Eagles plan for the future

By Nick Creely

Berwick City have surged into second spot after a 1-0 victory over North Caulfield on Saturday. 166493 Picture: ROB CAREW Orlando Mejias who shot wide, and despite dominating possession and having numerous attempts at goal went in to the break all square.

The second half was a repeat of the first, with Berwick peppering away and North Caulfield’s keeper having a day out and pulling off several outstanding saves.

It looked like it was going to be a nil all draw for the second week in row for City but with time running out the goal finally came when Andy Jerez found himself in space and with just the keeper to beat calmly slotted the ball in for the only goal of the game.

“We had quite a few early chances and really should have put the game out of their reach,” Berwick coach Gerry McDonagh said post-match.

“The longer the game went, the more pressure we put on ourselves to score and it got

quite tense in the coach’s box towards the end, but the boys once again found a way to get over the line.”

The 1-0 win now moves Berwick into second spot on the ladder, just one point behind local rivals Doveton.

City are back at home this Saturday against Old Scotch.

STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH There was more fight than usual for Drouin on Saturday afternoon, with the Dragons making Pakenham United work for their 1-0 victory.

After coping a hiding from Sandown 13-1 last week, the Dragons put in a much improved performance against a good side in Pakenham.

Liam McCafferty was the goal scorer for United in his first for the season.

In other matches, Sandown defeated Old Mentonians 3-1 and White Star Dandenong lost 0-5 to Lyndale at Greaves Reserve.

The Endeavour Hills Cricket Club is starved of success, having spent the last two seasons anchored to the bottom of the East/West ladder.

In arguably the strongest local competition going around Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association - the Eagles have notched up just four 1st XI wins in two years.

But times are changing and the club is moving forward under the guidance of newlyelected president, Jay Stent.

The 58-year-old club legend has a clear plan in getting the club - from its juniors to its seniors - back to being a powerhouse off and on field.

“It’s only been two or three weeks since I’ve been president, and the club over the last 12 months has put together a threeyear plan that’s pretty detailed and covers a lot of areas,” he said.

“I’m linking all of that, we’re trying to create a really strong culture and to strengthen our links to the local community.

“We’ve got a very diverse community - we want to provide a level of cricket for a range of different skills and abilities - we want to strengthen that aspect of our club.”

On-field, the Eagles are graced by a number of talented youngsters, and Stent said that developing the kids is the main priority for the club.

“It’s about creating coaching

Jay Stent - the newly appointed president of the Eagles. 170272 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

structures that are targeted towards our younger cricketers,” he said.

“It can be challenging at times playing sub-district cricket because you can be travelling all the way out to Melton, Werribee and Hoppers Crossing, so that’s challenging building our quality of cricketers.

“We see the development of our younger cricketers at the moment - our focus is on our kids and bringing out kids through the system, and getting our kids into our top sides and if they’re good enough, then Premier Cricket with Dandenong, Casey or even Monash - that’s the ultimate aim.

“We would love to receive back from Premier Cricket too players that maybe don’t want to play there anymore or are too old that want to play more locally.

“We’d welcome that and it’s a bridge we’re trying to build.”

Stent pointed out that the committee down at Sydney Par-

geter Reserve is focused, sure of what it wants, and desperate to deliver a clear plan revolving around a more balanced coaching group.

“We’ve got a great committee and are clear about where we want to head, it’s just about putting the pieces together into place,” he said.

“One of our ambitions is to lessen the load of our head coach - with a club our size - the pressure on what is a part-time position is too much and we’re trying to develop a structure to lessen the pressure.

“We’re looking at a couple of our older players to come in and provide specific skills coaching for our kids and senior players, and just taking that pressure off the one person.”

The Eagles are expected to sit down with current captain/ coach Brad Baptist when he returns from overseas shortly, and will likely announce some new signings in the coming months.

Wickers all the way

By David Nagel Berwick defeated Narre Warren by 49 points on Saturday but two passages of play in particular sum up the difficulty of rolling the Wickers for this South East Football Netball League crown.

At the 15-minute mark of the first term, Narre Warren ruckman Trent Papworth had a shot for goal to give the Magpies the opening two majors of the match - the perfect start in their toughest assignment of the season.

An early goal to Dale Gawley had the Magpies up and about, and their ability to absorb Berwick’s pressure gave a real sense of optimism heading into the middle stages of the first term. Relentless pressure saw Papworth presented with a golden opportunity -albeit on his wrong foot - to apply some scoreboard pressure to the ladder leaders.

He missed and - just like a stalking Cheetah - the Wickers went BANG! A 65-metre kick-out from Ash Smith cleared an assembled pack, the ball falling into the hands of Lucas Jellyman-Turner, who fired off the handball to a surging Reece Piper, who gathered cleanly in the centre circle and took off, taking 10 steps before launching a bomb from the centre square that sailed straight over the goal-umpires head.

A scintillating 14 seconds of footy that had to be seen to be believed.

Narre Warren champion Nick Scanlon answered with a brilliant soccer-goal of his own ... before the Wickers struck again.

A contested ball on Narre Warren’s half-forward line spilled to Will Arthurson, who dished off to Trent Thomas, who handballed to Smith who spotted a one-on-one battle in front of the new electronic scoreboard at Edwin Flack Reserve.

Jimmy Magner versus Jace Kelly, Magner holds Kelly off with his left hand, juggles the ball in his right before kicking to Andrew Morozoff who marks strongly at the top of the goal square. Two passages of play, from one end of the ground to the other, without the opposition touching the ball - it sums up the Wickers to a tee.

The Magpies showed character to win the final term - but the damage had been well and truly done.

Bryce Rutherford and the emerging Jimmy Harrison joined Magner, Smith and Madi Andrews in a quality quintet for the Wickers while Papworth, Aaron Wilson and 250-gamer Michael Collins were best for the Magpies.

Cranbourne coach Simon

Goosey believes his team is still well-placed for a crack at back-toback titles after the Eagles ran away with a 97-point victory over Officer at Casey Fields.

It was a strong rebound after last week’s loss to Berwick.

“Berwick was too good for us on the day, but it’s all positive as far as I’m concerned, I’m a realist and you don’t win premierships in July,” Goosey said.

“Losing used to be the end of the world at Cranbourne, but now we understand that as long as we learn

from what we do, we can move forward and have the chance to redeem ourselves. Berwick holds no fears for me, the main aim for us has always been to finish top three and our focus has never wavered from that.”

Luke Bee-Hugo kicked six for the Eagles while Micky Boland continued hid fabulous season in the ruck.

In other games, Tooradin kept its finals hopes alive with a 34-point victory over Pakenham and Doveton kicked the sweep - booting 38 goals - in a 218-point win over Hampton Park. Beaconsfield had the bye.

Netball hits a drawn-out spell

By David Nagel It feels like a magic wand has been waived and a spell cast on the South East Football Netball League after Cranbourne and ROC fought out a thrilling draw at Casey Field on Saturday.

The teams couldn’t be split on 39 points each, the third time in as many weeks a draw has taken place in SEFNL. Berwick and Hampton Park started the enchanted run with the Wickers and Cranbourne continuing the magiccarpet ride a week later.

Cranbourne was lucky to escape with a draw against the Kangaroos who blew the Eagles away with an electrifying first term. With Courtney Linhart (goal shooter) and Gemma Stacey (goal attack) sharing the load up front, the Kangas scored 14-6 in their best quarter of netball for the season.

Ash Barnett (centre), Olivia Hamilton (wing attack) and Amy Jones (wing defence) were dominating the midcourt, while Laura Quinn (goal de-

fence) and Mel Overdyk (goal keeper) had a firm grip on things in defence.

The Eagles narrowed the margin over the next two quarters, but still trailed by four at the final change.

The home side needed someone to step up in the final term and some key personnel responded.

Tara Cecil (GK) and Jodie Holt (GD) did a magnificent job in defence, restricting the Kangaroos to just five goals in the last quarter, while Alanah Hardy (GA) was superb, scoring all nine of the Eagles goals.

In the end, the teams couldn’t be split!

Hampton Park’s season was in need of some urgent resuscitation and the Redbacks breathed new-life into their finals hopes with an upset 43-36 victory over Doveton.

This was the beginning of a massive fortnight for the sixth-placed Redbacks, who had to defeat both Doveton (fourth) and Cranbourne (fifth) to keep a finals berth within reach.

The Redbacks led from start to finish, leading by two, four and a solitary

goal at the first three breaks before firing up strongly in the final term.

Brooke Kiely (GK), Karli Foster (GD) and Chloe Birch (WA) all stood tall while Stephanie Hille (GS) had a massive impact, shooting 11 lastquarter goals. Liz Edwards, Shae Gee, Akanisi Seeto and Hayley Stewart were solid contributors for the Doves.

Tooradin, as expected, was simply too good all over the court for Pakenham, winning 72-26 at Toomuc Reserve.

Alex Maher (GA) was in fantastic touch for the Seagulls, shooting 15 goals herself in a stunning 19-5 opening salvo from the premiership favourites.

The Lions who trailed by 32 at half time, were far more competitive in the second half with Renae Joiner, Elayne Schneider and Carly Saunders doing a wonderful job through the midcourt.

And Narre Warren tuned up for its mouth-watering clash against Beaconsfield with a resounding 24-goal victory over Berwick at Edwin Flack Reserve.

Narre Warren midcourter Leigh Taylor makes life difficult for Berwick’s Picture: ROB CAREW Morgan Thomas at Edwin Flack Reserve. 170315 The Magpies set up their 65-41 triumph with a masterful first quarter where they outscored the Wickers 20-5, with Gabby Dwyer and Tayla Shannon combining wonder-

fully under the ring.

Morgan Thomas (GD) and Madelina Nyoul (GK) did well to restrict the damage for the Wickers.

Beaconsfield had the bye.

Mercedes-Benz crosses over

By Alistair Kennedy The SUV/Coupe crossover genre that MercedesBenz GLC occupies is an interesting piece of design evolution which combines the functionality of an SUV with the looks of a coupe and it joins competitors such as the Range Rover Evoque, BMW X4, Jaguar F-Pace and, with its AMG 43 version, Porsche Macan.

Viewed in profile, and at the rear, it’s easy to see the distinction between the two GLC models.

Not so at the front where they share the same big, bold grille highlighted by the large Mercedes ‘three-pointed-star’ badge. There’s a bulkier bumper at the rear of the coupe above twin chrome exhaust tips.

The differing profiles lead to the GLC coupe being longer (by 76 mm) but lower (by 40 mm) than the GLC wagon as well as being 152 kg lighter.

All variants get daytime running lights and roll on 20-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels.

Coupes are not renowned for their interior space but the GLC crossover version is a genuine four-seater. There’s good space in the two front seats with a nice balance of support and comfort.

Rear seat passengers get the same shoulder, elbow and legroom as they would in the GLC wagon but, not unexpectedly, less headroom. It can still cope with three adults in the rear although, given the transmission tunnel, two plus a child in the middle would be preferable on long distance trips.

Black-ash open pore wood trim is standard and surrounds a beautifully crafted interior layout.

Luggage capacity with all rear seatbacks in place is an impressive 500 litres (just 50 litres

less than the wagon) expanding to 1400 litres, a more significant 200 litres less with the rear seats down.

There are remote releases on the side of the boot to fold the seats. The GLC has additional, lockable, storage space under the floor.

The high tail and smallish aperture means there’s a bit of a lift and some juggling for access to the boot but the interior is long and wide.

Factory fuel consumption figures range from 5.8 litres per 100 km in the 220d and 250d to 7.4 L/100 km in the 250 with CO2 emissions between 151 and 173 grams per km. Not surprisingly the AMG C43 numbers are higher at 8.9 L/100 and 203 g/km.

In addition to standard suite of safety features such as multiple airbags (9), ABS brakes with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution and electronic stability control all MercedesBenz GLC coupe variants come with Driver Assistance Package Plus which includes Distronic Plus cruise control with Steering Assist, Pre-Safe Brake and Pre-Safe Plus, Cross Traffic Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and two Isofix child seat mountings. There is also automatic emergency braking (Collision Prevention Assist Plus).

External safety is covered by the Mercedes Active Bonnet system which raises the rear of the bonnet instantly upon impact to reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians.

The upper models in the lineup feature a headup display that shows a lot of information.

Infotainment features are controlled via the M-B Comand system using either a 7-inch or 8.3inch tablet-style screen depending on variant.

Our car were fitted with Garmin Map Pilot

MODEL RANGE GLC 220d 2.1-litre turbo-diesel four-door coupe: $78,500 (automatic) GLC 250 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-door coupe: $81,500 (automatic) GLC 250d 2.1-litre turbo-diesel four-door coupe: $83,500 (automatic) GLC 350d 3.0-litre turbo-diesel four-door coupe: $99,900 (automatic) GLC 43 AMG: 3.0-litre twin turbo-petrol V6 four-door coupe: $109,900 (automatic)

Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe combines sporty looks with SUV convenience. satellite navigation with voice input, or you can use the reasonably intuitive touchpad. The audio system is a 13-speaker Burmester with surround sound. WLAN with internet access for connected devices.

The Mercedes-Benz controls layout takes a bit of getting used to with so many items collected together on steering wheels stalks. Benz owners that we’ve talked to love it and, once you’ve adapted to the setup, it does all make sense.

Unfortunately on a couple of occasion during our test week we forgot that the chunky stalk on the right hand side wasn’t the turn indicator but rather the gear selector ... with embarrassing results as we switched gear into neutral. This is potentially dangerous and should be modified as soon as possible.

External visibility is hampered by large pillars and the small, steeply sloped rear window with the latter meaning that the reversing camera really comes into play when parking.

Dynamic Body Control is standard on all GLC coupe variants and provides adjustable dampers to switch between Comfort and Sport settings to cater for different comfort and ride needs. There are also four drive modes: Eco, Comfort, Sport and Sport +.

Our test car was the entry-level GLC 220d with the lower tuned turbo-diesel engine. From inside the fact that it’s diesel is barely noticeable. It proved to be sharp of the mark with its peak torque kicking in at just 1400 rpm and agile around the suburbs. On the motorway segment of our route it cruised effortlessly and quietly. We averaged fuel consumption of 6.9 L/100 km during our week-long test, around 18 per cent above the published figure but quite acceptable.

Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe is a functional vehicle with head-turning sporty looks.
