Stolen Christmas By Brendan Rees A heartless thief has been labelled the Christmas Grinch after allegedly pinching a life-size reindeer decoration from a family business in Clyde. The man was captured by security cameras on Monday 11 December at about 6pm at the front of Shopping at Clyde, in broad daylight. The footage shows the man bundling the 1.5 metre tall fibreglass reindeer into the backseat of a dark Holden hatchback, which was parked at the front of the shopping centre. The reindeer was part of a Christmas showpiece in the middle of the shopping centre for families to have a photo taken with Santa. Centre manager Ian Mitchell said he was disappointed, especially after his family had spent between $60,000 and $70,000 on decorations as part of centre’s Christmas theme. “It certainly does dampen it a little bit on that display,“ he said. “It seems strange that someone would take it obviously for personal use when you quite clearly see that it’s serving the community,” he said. “People are coming in there or particularly their young kids enjoying the scene.” Mr Mitchell said the registration of the hatchback was passed on to Cranbourne police. “We don’t know how likely it is of getting it back. The Christmas display is going to be missing the reindeer, it certainly doesn’t help.” He said he believed shoppers may have seen the thief, who was described as of olive complexion with short dark hair, lumping the reindeer out to his car but he “wasn’t picked by anyone who would question him.” “I’m sure people had seen him but wouldn’t have thought anything of it,” he said, adding the trading hours of the shopping centre had been extended to midnight. “We’ve got quite good footage of him trying to get this thing in a small hatchback and a female partner helping him. He didn’t seem to be in any rush.” “We’ve only been open for two years now;

Colourful Creations florist Ahmad Khan said children were heartbroken. “It’s very disappointing and distressful, especially during this time of the year.” “It became a part of the daily routine to see the reindeer around,” he said. “It’s such a bright and colourful shopping centre; a humble place. This has never happened before. It was such a nice display.” Terry White Chemmart pharmacy assistant Audrey Oudeman said the missing reindeer had dampened the Christmas spirit for families. “It’s disappointing not just for the centre, but it’s disappointing for the families that are coming especially.” “They actually had a face painting; lots of children were coming, families were coming to have their beautiful portraits for Christmas.” “Those things are the highlights that make it Christmas for the small ones,” she said. Mel Bull of Beans and Bites also said it was terrible. “Kids like seeing the reindeer and all the decorations and of course without those it’s sad.”

Changes to car parking The City of Casey is making adjustments to the car parking around Bunjil Place and Casey ARC, to better meet the needs of the precinct. Customers told us they wanted more convenient, short-term spaces in the outdoor car park and the basement car park was being under-utilised, so Council is making these changes to respond to that feedback. An additional 63 car spaces are being created for the public surrounding Bunjil Place, with 36 new 3-hour spaces to be created in the Casey ARC car park and an additional 27 2-hour spaces to be created in the old Narre Warren Library car park.

Casey crime finally drops By Cam Lucadou-Wells Crime rates in Casey have fallen for the first time in five years, according to official statistics. The state’s Crime Statistics Agency reported that criminal incidents dropped by 8 per cent between October 2016-September 2017. It was the first such drop since September 2012. The further good news was massive falls in reported burglaries and break-ins (18 per cent), thefts (17 per cent) and robberies (21 per cent). However crimes-against-the-person continued to rise, particularly for reported assaults (5 per cent), sexual assaults (11 per cent) and stalking and harassment (7 per cent).
Soberingly, there were still about 2000 reported assaults and 2000 reported burglaries in Casey for the year - about 50 of each offence each week. Police Minister Lisa Neville speaking on the Victoria-wide trend - which mirrored the Casey stats - said many of the sexual and common assaults were attributable to family violence. The statewide drops in thefts were particularly driven by reduced car-stealing (down 14 per cent across Victoria). Aggravated burglaries - a “high-harm” crime that caused fear in the community - had dropped for the first time. Ms Neville said the drop was across most crimes and most local government areas. “It’s coming down ... virtually across the state.”
She attributed it to police strategies and tactics and additional police “starting to make an on-going significant downward trend” in crime. She said the latest crime statistics reflected the tireless work of Casey police. “Police have been working hard to tackle crimes like burglaries and break and enter offences, and crimes against the person, which we know causes great distress to the community.” Ms Neville said Casey was among the first Victorian communities to have additional police allocated to the area, with 31 of the first 300 new police to work across the region by April next year. Opposition police spokesman Edward
O’Donohue said crime had still soared overall in the past three years of the Andrews State Government. In raw terms, it was up 29 per cent in Casey since late 2014 - or 17.3 per cent on a per capita basis. “Despite this, he refuses to match the commitment of Brian Paynter and the Coalition to deliver the much needed Clyde North 24/7 Police Station,” Mr O’Donohue said. “The dramatic increase in serious offending ... such as assault and related offences, sexual offending, drug dealing and weapons offences is further evidence that Daniel Andrews’ soft on crime approach simply hasn’t worked.”
Their wish granted as a Christmas dream comes true By Brendan Rees Cranbourne’s Christmas wish came true after the Cranbourne Food Truck received a very welcome community grant Christmas gift. Secretary Chris Marsh said the $10,000 grant from Westpac Foundation’s Community Grants program would help cover the costs of running the truck as the Cranbourne Regional Uniting Church prepared for the festive season. “We’re having a barbecue for our clients the week before Christmas, so it means we’ll be able to buy all the extra bits and pieces instead of sausages in bread we can do some nice salads.” “Some of the folks from church are coming down to sing carols and play some music,” she said. Ms Marsh said the church was really lucky to receive the grant, which would also help buy food for their clients through to 2018. “We’re doing an evening meal on Christmas Day and also on New Year’s Day, so the truck will be running as normal over Christmas-New Year period.” She said Cranbourne was a very diverse community and found they were not just helping the homeless. “There are also people in our community who have a roof over their head but they may only be on the pension so by the time they’ve paid all their bills or their rent there’s not a lot left over for food,” she said. “One of the good things too is that we have a strong following of volunteers and things like that means we actually won’t be closing over Christmas New Year.” Ms Marsh said the food truck had developed a good relationship with the Westpac bank in Cranbourne, adding “they actually suggested to us that we apply for the grant which is really good.” The truck, which started in 2012, provides meals to people in the Cranbourne area four nights a week. “Not only do we give away non-perishable goods but we also give away fruit and vegetables and things like that,” Ms Marsh said.
Cranbourne Uniting Church volunteers Chris Marsh and Graeme Mills welcome the $10,000 community grant boost. 176112 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Casey's Cr Amanda Stapledon, left with Carlisle Primary School principal Lisa Vandenbosch who Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS are pushing for a crossing at the front of the school. 176127 “We have a high volume of traffic at the front of the school on a daily basis,” she said, adding pick-up times were exceptionally busy with limited parking. She was however impressed with Casey Council in being so open to listening to the school. “They’ve come out, they’ve looked at the parking, they really have for the first time this year really been working very closely with the school which is fabulous but we’re not getting to where we want to be.
“They’re saying we don’t have the numbers to warrant a crossing but they are still working on traffic calming devices.” A council document stated VicRoads data showed there had been one serious injury accident on Springhill Drive adjacent the school where a child was hit by a car while crossing the road outside of school hours. The data also revealed a pedestrian suffered a minor injury when a vehicle lost control turning into Silky Oak Drive at the Majestic Boulevard intersection.

Children at Carlisle Primary School in Cranbourne continue to be put at risk, after an attempt to get a supervised school crossing at a busy road was rejected. A push for a school crossing at the front of the school on Silky Oak Drive had gained the support of Casey Council. But VicRoads rejected the suggestion, saying the road did not meet their requirements after conducting a traffic survey. Proponent Cr Amanda Stapledon said a school crossing at the front of the school made “perfect sense,” adding council would ideally like to move the current school crossing on Silky Oak Drive to the front entrance of the school. “This would minimise the amount of children competing with cars in the absence of a crossing.” “I am committed to ensuring the best traffic management outcomes are achieved and the council officers are already putting things in place to do just that.” She said a no standing zone had been placed outside of the front entrance and further measures would be considered in 2018. “These have not been outlined to date, however I will be pursing them in the New Year.” Carlisle Primary School Principal Lisa Vandenbosch said the school had safety concerns for children crossing between parked cars during peak times. “We will continue to certainly advocate. It is a high priority for the school because as we have continued growth in the community of housing, the volume of children will continue to increase.” She said students needed to walk quite a distance up the side of the school to safely cross the road “which they don’t necessarily do.”

Monash smoke and mirrors I expect John Glazebrook's “more lanes, not signs" piece in The Star News opinion 14 December will do little to alleviate the shambles that is now the Monash Freeway. The proliferation of gantries from Pakenham through to Chadstone as a “safety measure“ is but a smoke and mirrors exercise promulgated by Donnellan et al. My latest effort took one hour to drive to Springvale road after 9.30am no less. The stretch is still under various stages of construction, some not worked on for months, and now motorists face 40km/h restrictions for “work" behind concrete barriers and screens metres back from four lanes of clear road. But wait John if you honestly believe these gantries (a big win for steel importers from China) are just about safety then I expect you and many others will be somewhat surprised to find out that that may not be the case. In observing these works over the last twoplus years I have noted rather large diameter electrical conduit being installed. Why? Well my bet is on speed cameras and tolls in the near future. The Andrews Government (and the previous Liberal one) is about as transparent as the contracts that they sign that do not allow public taxpayer scrutiny - shrouded in mystery and hidden under so-called “confidentiality and privacy clauses". I would like to extend my best wishes to VicRoads and Fulton Hogan and congratulate them on being able to pace out a project that now is making Methuselah look young. Charles Harris, Pakenham.
Pick it up, council Casey Council should get their own house in order before giving out fines to people who don’t pick up dog poo. I go for an early morning walk around the local streets, but I have yet to see dog poo on the footpaths. But I do see hard waste on the nature strips that has been there nearly two weeks - when will the council remove it? D. Gardner, Hampton Park.

I noted in the Star News article 23 November, “Serey stands for ‘values’ and ‘local’ in state election”, that the newly endorsed Liberal candidate for Narre Warren South, Susan Serey, is opposed to many things: same-sex marriage, voluntary euthanasia, and Safe School programs, to name a few. So it was of little surprise to read in the City of Casey magazine, City News, (issue 60) last week that Cr Serey is opposed to safe injecting rooms and moved a motion in council to oppose them. “Using life destroying drugs such as ice is not a recreation and it’s not something we should encourage or promote by making its use legal," she states on her page in City News. The implication is that safe injecting rooms encourage, indeed promote the use of the drug ice. This is blatantly wrong and I suggest that Cr Serey informs herself regarding the operation of safe injecting rooms both in Sydney and worldwide. Whether the public is for or against safe injecting rooms is not the point. The problem is that a public figure should not be misleading people - and in an article that

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On Thursday 14 December the Berwick Star News Facebook page shared a story about police directing a resident in Hugo Court, Narre Warren to shut down their elaborate Christmas light house display after “causing traffic chaos.” Readers reacted strongly online and here are their thoughts on the matter: Andrew Cook: Did it upset someone? Michelle Macdonald: It was a shame, however with the lack of commonsense with a lot of drivers. It was expected to happen. Such a real shame as my kids like many others love going to see them and it really does help bring the Christmas joy to us all in this crazy world of today. Jacquelyn Hoiles: Noooo Debbie Deane: This is sooooooo disappointing.

I wouldn’t be happy if I lived in the area and had to deal with the traffic every night to get to my house. In saying that I love the Christmas lights. Andrew James: Thank you to VicPol and City of Casey for the enormous support they’ve given us. This story started because of unprecedented traffic in the area. A police member did ask us to shut the lights off early one night. Thanks to the local media we were able to find a voice recognised higher up the chain. Now police and the City of Casey quickly organised a brilliant outcome to help spread the Christmas spirit.

All fixed up Three well-loved community facilities in Casey are set to receive a makeover. Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera announced a $3.2 million for redevelopment and upgrade works to the Hunt Club Family and Community Centre, Lawson Poole Recreation Reserve Pavilion Redevelopment and Marriott Waters Family and Community Centre Redevelopment through the State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund (GSF). The $2.1 million Hunt Club Family and Community Centre project is supported by $1 million from the GSF and will deliver a new kindergarten room, extended existing kindergarten room and redeveloped community space and Maternal and Child Health area. A $1.6 GSF grant will support the overall development of the Lawson Poole Recreation Reserve Pavilion, which includes replacing the previous, ageing facility with a multi-use pavilion, catering for AFL, cricket and soccer. Works include six changerooms with unisex amenities, multipurpose community space, office, storerooms, commercial kitchen, security system, undercover canopies, an expanded carpark, landscaping and paths. A $590,000 GSF grant will contribute to the $1.18 million Marriott Waters Family and
Community Centre redevelopment, which will significantly expand the footprint of the facility and increase its capacity to deliver children’s and family services. Works include a large community meeting room with kitchen and courtyard, indoor/outdoor storage, an additional flexible consulting suite and public art and internet cafe with wi-fi to enhance the foyer space. “We know how special these three centres are to the Cranbourne community - that’s why we’re making sure they get the support they need to stay up to date and ready for the future.” We’re getting on with it,” said Mr Perera. Funding is part of the 2017-'19 GSF round, which is supporting seven projects across the City of Casey through a total of $7.7 million. The GSF aims to improve the amenity, liveability and resilience of communities in Victoria’s 10 interface councils on Melbourne’s fringe. The 2017-'19 round will deliver $48.1 million for 40 projects across outer Melbourne. Minister for Local Government Marlene Kairouz said: “These grants are another example of where we are delivering much needed community infrastructure to Melbourne’s outer suburbs.”
A Cranbourne man on his P-plates was busted drink driving in Pakenham. Pakenham police caught the 21-year-old driving erratically and drink driving in Pakenham on 14 December. It followed resident reports of a silver Holden Commodore sedan allegedly speeding and driving erratically on the Princes Freeway in Garfield about 8.15pm. Police intercepted the vehicle on the Princes Freeway in Pakenham and the male driver
returned a positive preliminary breath test. The P-plate driver was taken back to a police station where he returned a positive breath test of .270 per cent. He had his licence suspended for 12 months and is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and other traffic related offences. His passenger, a 24-year-old man, was arrested for having outstanding warrants and being drunk.

Mick continues to help By Garry Howe Former Casey councillor Mick Morland loved nothing more than helping people, his wife Kay told a Casey Cardinia Foundation grants presentation last week. “Mick loved and cared about people,” she said. “He was never happier than when he was helping someone.” The former mayor was killed when struck by a car in June - yet he is still helping people. The Casey Cardinia Foundation, with the help of money donated in lieu of flowers at his funeral and a considerable injection from the City of Casey, this year made the inaugural Mick Morland Memorial Grant. It went to the Casey Basketball Association to kick-start a wheelchair basketball competition at Casey Stadium - a project Kay said her husband would have loved. The influence of the Casey Cardinia Foundation has on community and welfare groups throughout the region is growing. The Casey Basketball Association was among 15 groups that benefitted from the work of the Foundation and its partners this year. Chairman Paul Thomas and the board presented certificates and grant money to the latest round of recipients. Mr Thomas said the Foundation had contributed grants totalling $550,000 since its inception He acknowledged the assistance of Evergreen Turf, which raised $26,000 at a charity race night and Aligned Leisure which also held a race night and contributed almost $30,000 through that and other ventures during the year. The Brown Property Group also provided funding to go towards grants and this year $10,000 was also provided from the Cardinia Casey Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch event for grants in the men’s health area.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… Hangover cure
Snagging a loyal following
Fighting the good fight
With the festive season in full swing, Australians are set to experience some serious hangovers over the next few months. However, Star News has received some good news this week that bacon may be the answer to cure the remnants of a big night. Hangover Hero, an expert in on-demand hangover cures has partnered with Primo, Australia’s favourite bacon brand, to bring Aussies recipes perfect to cure even the most extreme party aftermath. CEO of Hangover Hero Mike Male says “Bacon is the essential ingredient to any good hangover recovery plan and latest research shows over a quarter of people agree that anything with bacon makes the best hangover food.”
It can be hungry work fighting crime - and certainly raising money for a local crime prevention group. Neighbourhood Watch Casey recently raised more than $2000 for safety initiatives at a sausage sizzle at Cranbourne Bunnings on 9 December. Volunteers cooked up nearly 1000 sausages, along with 50 loaves of bread and 30 kilos of onions. It was a great way to raise the group’s profile, chairman Rob Ward said. “Neighbourhood Watch has undergone a bit of a revitalisation in the last year. “We want people to know that we are still here and still working to make the community safer.“ The group meets monthly to discuss crime and safety issues in Casey and works in partnership with Victoria Police. Details, call Rob on 0408 348 352 or go to the Facebook page @nhwcasey.
Hampton Park couple Derek and Angela Gardner aren’t afraid of keeping their local MP on their toes. In the past 11 years, they’ve written 81 times to Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley about issues such as unsafe footpaths, roads, drains and crossings as well as graffiti. They were also known for getting behind neighbours who were hit by significant floods in 2011. The Gardner’s work behind the scenes hasn’t gone unnoticed by Ms Graley, who acknowledged them recently in Parliament. “There is not a single other local resident or family that has contacted me as many times as Derek and Angela,” Ms Graley said. “They have never given up, never stopped fighting and have always been willing to do whatever is needed to help their neighbours or community.” The couple even received a card from the Queen and Prince Phillip, thanking them for sending kind words on the royal couple’s 70th wedding anniversary.
Students star with ATARs Nossal High School students, as has become the norm, have scored astounding VCE results. Twelve of the selective-entry state school’s stu-
Stuart Chalmers, Rob Ward and Meredith Ward at the sausage sizzle at Bunnings Cranbourne. dents earned ATAR scores of 99 or more. On a median basis, half of its students scored 92.2 or more. Nine attained perfect study scores of 50. Principal Roger Page congratulated its students for their hard work and outstanding results. “We sincerely thank their excellent teachers and families for the essential assistance and support.”

Each patient is given personalised care from Dr Andy Ong at Elite Orthodontics at Narre Warren South. The focus of the clinic is to bring the latest and best advances in clinical orthodontics including braces to the Casey-Cardinia community. Staff aim to provide caring and experienced treatment by a registered Australasian Orthodontic Board-certified specialist orthodontist. The practice encourages parents to be chair-side during visits to allow treatment progress to be discussed in detail. Operating for the past six years in the Casey-Cardinia area, the practice offers a minimal waiting list and a scheduling policy which allows patients to start treatment when they want to. And patients only see one orthodontist with Dr Ong there from start to finish. Traditional metal braces, clear braces and even invisible lingual braces that are fitted onto the inner surfaces of the teeth are available at the clinic. Staff also use Invisalign - clear, plastic, custom-fitted splints that fit over the teeth and help straighten them without the need for braces. But the main strength of the clinic is the use of state-of-the-art technology such as comput-

Stones set for shock
De-fanging the fear factor
Philip McCahy of South Eastern Urology. ria at Casey Hospital. “The big advantage with a lithotripter is that stones can be treated as an emergency without the need for an anaesthetic or a stent,” Mr McCahy said. “Unfortunately, stones do recur - the risk is about 10 per cent per year - so it is important to try and prevent recurrence.” South Eastern Urology is a specialist clinic that concentrates on all aspects of kidney stone disease, including lithotripsy and prevention, and is located at the Melbourne Urology Centre at 55 Kangan Drive in Berwick. For more information, visit seurology.simpl.com.
Get checked Due to Australia’s harsh climate, it is recommended that adults have a skin cancer check annually. According to experts at Sun Patrol, frighteningly, two out of three Australians will develop skin cancer. Sun Patrol’s qualified doctors conduct thorough checks of the entire skin surface to detect signs of cancer. The professional Sun Patrol team specialise in dermoscopy (looking at skin under magnification) and dermal imaging. When a problem is detected, 90 per cent of cases can be treated under local anaesthetic at Sun Patrol or by prescription anti-cancer creams. More complex cases may need referral to a plastic surgeon. Book an appointment now or for more information visit www.sunpatrolscc.com.au or phone 1300 786 728.

Summer is here and with it comes barbecues, holidays, cricket and kidney stones. As South Eastern Urology Urologist Philip McCahy explained, the warmer seasons see a spike in the number of people rushed to hospital emergency departments with colic due to dehydration caused by inadequate water intake and excessive sweating. “Australia has a high incidence of stone disease with over one in 10 of us getting stones,” Mr McCahy said. “And when the stones pass they cause the worst pain possible - worse than having babies, as I always ask women who have had both.” However, as Mr McCahy clarified, the good news is that most colic is self-limiting with small stones passing. “The best painkillers are anti-inflammatory tablets such as ibuprofen, which can be bought without prescription.” “But if the pain is unbearable or there is an associated fever, then expert help from an urologist should be sought. “It is sometimes necessary to relieve the stone pain with small plastic tubes (stents) which will be removed later at the same time as the stone.” Mr McCahy also stressed the good fortune of Casey and Cardinia in obtaining one of only two shock-wave lithotripsy machines in Victo-

The foyer of the refurbished St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital.
Hospital looks to bright future In November 2016, St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital commenced a $9.7 million refurbishment. After 12 months, the hospital is pleased to announce the project is nearing completion. Over the past year, many milestones have been achieved including the refurbishment of 46 rooms and ensuites, the construction of four new patients’ rooms and increased single room capacity. New spaces on the ground floor have also been constructed including an extended foyer with airlock entry, a new chapel, multipurpose room and cafe. Improved spaces on the first level contain areas for occupational therapy (OT) ADL kitchen, OT gym and an upgraded pharmacy, Also incorporated in the new refurbishments is the ambulance entrance which has relocated to a new undercover area at rear of hospital to improve traffic flow and ease of patient entry as well as many behind the scenes mechanicals and services such as a new 17 tonne generator, upgraded air-conditioning and plumbing. St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital Chief Executive Officer Sally
Faulkner said the most critical component of the refurbishment was to increase the number of single rooms at the hospital to better support patients through their recovery. “We have converted our three and four-bed rooms to two-bed rooms and refurbished all bathrooms. “Providing our patients with greater comfort and privacy was our ultimate goal,” Sally said. For a rehabilitation hospital, access is incredibly important and new front and rear entrances to the hospital will make it easier for patients as well as vehicles that transport patients after surgery or injury. “Whilst this was a comprehensive and detailed refurbishment, it occurred in stages to minimise the impact on our inpatient and outpatient services. “There was a buzz of excitement as each stage finished and we are so pleased with the result,” Sally said. St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital is located at 255-265 Cranbourne Road in Frankston.

There was plenty of talent on show at the Greyhound Racing Victoria Gippsland Series Launch at Traralgon - on four legs and two. The two-legged guests were, from left, Brent Harvey, Richard Champion, Josh Dunkley, James van de Maat, interviewer Garry Howe from the Cranbourne News and Lara Dunkley.
Racing’s night of nights Cranbourne will host the final night of Australia’s biggest regional greyhound racing series which will return for a second year to the Gippsland region in 2018. The Gippsland Cup was launched at the Traralgon Greyhound Racing Club on Thursday 7 December to mark the return of the series which connects four country Cups in Sale, Traralgon, Warragul and Cranbourne. Victorian greyhound racing ambassador and AFL games record holder Brent Harvey attended the launch and will attend the subsequent cups, as will Western Bulldogs premiership player and Gippsland native Josh Dunkley and his sister, Melbourne Vixens netballer Lara Dunkley. They joined former AFL star Richard Champion and talented Healesville-based race call-
er James van de Maat on a sports panel at the launch, interviewed on stage by News editor Garry Howe. The $75,000 TRFM Sale Cup will kick off the series on Boxing Day, followed by the $47,000 Warragul Cup on 13 January, the $47,000 Traralgon Cup on 27 January and the $47,000 Cranbourne Cup on 10 February. Points are allocated for first, second and third place getters throughout the series and a Gippsland Champion will be crowned at the end of the carnival. The series was held for the first time last year and has been fine-tuned for 2017, to span eight weeks. The Stayer and Sprinter competitions have been combined into one overall championship series and more points will be on offer in the heats.
A $20,000 bonus will be shared among the top three greyhounds of the series. Greyhound Racing Victoria’s Chairman Bernie Carolan said the Victorian State Government had been a strong backer of Victorian greyhound racing, particularly in the Gippsland region. “In the last six months alone GRV and the government have committed almost $450,000 to racing and community initiatives in Gippsland and Cranbourne through the Victorian Racing Industry Fund, and the Gippsland Carnival is a major part of that investment,” Mr Carolan said. Mr Carolan said the amendments to the 2017 series would create an even more intense competition and a better racing spectacle for the crowds.
“This is a terrific concept that connects four clubs for one exciting series,” Mr Carolan said. “Last year’s carnival generated a lot of interest. The series showcases the Gippsland region and greyhound racing.” Mr Carolan said Gippsland was greyhound racing heartland, adding that the industry had a significant presence in the region. “Outside of Melbourne, Gippsland is the biggest centre of greyhound racing in Victoria, contributing around $30 million to the local economy and sustaining thousands of jobs. There is no better place for a series like this,” he said. “GRV, the clubs and the Victorian Government are demonstrating their commitment to Gippsland and greyhound racing by investing in events like this.”
Sky’s the limit for our top high jumper By Nick Creely Narre Warren youngster Addison Stevens hopes to one day jump as high as her hero, Commonwealth Games gold medallist Eleanor Patterson. Patterson has been an athlete that Addison has admired from afar for a long time, and she is hoping one day that she can reach the 1.96 metre mark - Patterson’s current personal best. At just 18, Patterson was the third youngest Australian Commonwealth Games champion ever. And Addison, 10, is already a high jump superstar, and only recently claimed a gold medal in the Girls 10 Year Olds High Jump event at the Pacific School Games in Adelaide, with a stellar jump of 1.39 metres. She pipped 13 other talented young women to claim glory, a phenomenal effort considering she actually beat the next placed athlete by three centimetres. The Pacific School Games - a tournament for more than 4000 school-aged students in a dozen different sports - is arguably the most elite school game events in Australia, with many of its participants going on to have successful sporting careers. The Little Athletics product also hones her skills with acro dance and competition tennis with Berwick, with the multi-talented athlete completely obsessed with sport in general. She said she is “happy and surprised” to win a gold medal at such a young age, and simply loves the thrill of “jumping over the bar”. But she wants to keep improving and jumping higher as she eyes even more gold in the future. “I want to jump higher and have a better technique, and jump as high as Eleanor Patterson,” she said. But the Pacific School Games are likely to be an event she doesn’t quickly forget, with Addison enjoying the sunshine of Adelaide and enjoying experiences that will last a lifetime. “I did enjoy it (the Games) - the most enjoyable part was the high jumping and going to cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

What a year By David Nagel
Addision Stevens won gold recently at the Pacific School Games. 176075 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS the track, and also going to the beach with my family and friends that I met,” she said. Addison first gave high jump a go at her Little Athletics in Leongatha - coincidentally
the same town Patterson was born and did her training. So the similarities are endless, and the sky is the limit for what she can achieve.
Reputations were enhanced and future stars were uncovered in another remarkable year of sport in the south east corridor of Melbourne. As we roll out our last edition for 2017 it’s worth reflecting on a few of the wonderful achievements from our local sporting heroes. Berwick Football Club captain Madi Andrews was Dustin Martin-like, leading his team to a premiership with a best-on-ground performance against Narre Warren after claiming his second league best and fairest award. Tooradin claimed its first netball premiership in 11 years after downing back-to-back champions Narre Warren, while Cranbourne defender Tara Cecil added a third league best and fairest award to her impressive list of achievements. Mordialloc’s Ian Daniel made 62 and took 8/43 in a remarkable all-round performance against Heinz Southern Districts in the DDCA grand final, while six Dandenong Stingrays will attempt to make their mark in the AFL next year. The careers of Oscar Clavarino (St Kilda), Luke-Davies-Uniacke (North Melbourne), Hunter Clark (St Kilda), Aiden Bonar (GWS), Tom De Koning (Carlton) and Tom Murphy (North Melbourne) will be followed with particular interest. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg ... on behalf of my colleagues, Russell Bennett and Nick Creely I wish you a safe and happy new year. The News will return on Thursday 11 January, 2018.

Big four take top spots By Nick Creely
Mitch Minhas steams in for North Dandenong on Saturday. 176264
Rattled Swans stalled By Nick Creely Casey-South Melbourne’s encouraging form of the last few weeks came to a grinding halt on Saturday, with Melbourne completely blanketing the Swans on day one of their clash at Casey Fields. Desperate to make their charge in the season’s first red ball game, all the Swans wanted to do was allow its batsmen to spend more time in the middle. Instead, they now face a likely outright loss on day two. Winning the toss and batting, the Swans were rattled early with Devin Pollock (0) trapped in front for a golden duck off Melbourne champ Patrick Smith (6/48), before Michael Wallace (3) and Jordan Wyatt (4) fell almost instantly after to Smith to have the home side 3/12. Skipper Lachie Sperling (26) played with fluency and hit three nice boundaries to put on 22 runs with in form batsman Ryan Eaton (5), before Eaton nicked behind and Sperling was caught, leaving his side hanging on by a thread. From 5/43, Chris Benedek (23) occupied the crease nicely and looked solid in defence, while Dylan Hadfield (23 off 28 balls) played the aggressor. The pair put on a swift 30-run stand to lift the score to 5/73, but once again clumps of 26 STAR NEWS

wickets brought their undoing, and the Swans could only muster up a total of 112 in 38.2 overs. Left armer Jackson Fry (1/25) got the home side off to a tailor made start, rummaging through the defences of Peter Petricola (1) to give his side a fighting chance. Fry was tidy with his lines, but the others leaked runs at almost four an over, with Jack Harper (85), Blake Thomson (40), skipper Matt Brown (61 not out) and Sam Harper (25) flaying the ball all over Casey Fields to finish the day on a dominant 3/212, showcasing their class with the bat. The region’s other local side, Dandenong, were a completely different story, putting in one of its most dominant displays in a number of years against Camberwell Magpies at Shepley Oval. Winding back the clock, 38-year-old Darren Pattinson (5/33) and up and comer Adam McMaster (4/15) were bordering on unplayable, rolling the ‘Pies for 102. Tom Donnell (72 not out) and Brett Forsyth (54 not out) then racked up runs for fun, putting on an unbeaten 131-run opening stand to be 0/131 at stumps. The 100-run opening stand is the 15th time both Donnell and Forsyth have achieved the feat. Play for both games will resume at 11am on Saturday.

Asfan Thajudeen (52) continued his strong form to test out the Bears’ bowling attack, but ultimately the Maroons were rolled for 165 in the 37th over. Cranbourne, meanwhile, put in a second lowly performance in a row, going down to Heinz-Southern Districts at Reedy Reserve. The Eagles were on song with the ball, in fact, rolling the Cobras for 130 despite strong batting displays by Stephen Milne (32) and Brodie Yapp (22).

runs with two overs and five wickets to spare. Down at Arch Brown Reserve, Berwick rediscovered its mojo to climb back into fourth, defeating North Dandenong by 66 runs. Nathan Pilon (69), Jordan Cleland (58) and Matt Chasemore (56) all found runs - and boundaries - with relative ease, lifting the Bears to a dominant 7/231 off its 40 overs. The Maroons fought admirably with the bat, and despite losing two early wickets courtesy of quick pair Jarrod Armitage (2/32) and James Wilcock (1/16), picked up the pieces to have a genuine crack.

Plunkett (19) also top scored opening the batting for the Eagles, with Cam Kelly (14) and Brandon Tyzzer (13) also reaching double digits at number two and three, but no other Eagle reached double figures to be skittled for just 69. Michael ‘Slick’ Davies continued on with his incredible season to destroy the visitors with 6/10 - to take his overall wicket tally to 20 at an average of 8.3 for the season. In other matches, Mordialloc (3/132) cruised past Hallam Kalora Park (129), Dandenong West (3/86) belted Narre Warren to claim its first win of the season, while St Mary’s (3/141) surprised Dingley (140) away from home to be within reach of the top four. The DDCA will return to action on 6 January in a one-dayer, with a blockbuster clash between Berwick and Springvale South at Arch Brown to be the round’s marquee match.

DDCA TURF 1 REVIEW - ROUND 6 With half of the DDCA Turf 1 season done and dusted, it seems only fitting that the big four Springvale South, Buckley Ridges, Mordialloc and Berwick occupy the top four spots on the ladder. But St Mary’s continue to surprise, Heinz Southern Districts are thereabouts, while Hallam Kalora Park is as dangerous a commodity as any side on its day - anyone of those sides can easily climb into finals contention if they can get on a roll and cause some upsets after Christmas. Saturday saw a Park Oval thriller between second placed Buckley Ridges and the previously undefeated Springvale South, and it didn’t disappoint with two epic individual displays in the match. Winning the toss and batting, Bloods batsman Nathan King (115) was simply breath-taking, and despite wickets tumbling around him - including the prized scalp of Steven Spoljaric for a duck - played with aggression and dare to lift his side to 9/213 off their 40 overs, all against a brilliant bowling attack at the peak of its powers. Tim Ford (46 not out) also put on a show with some late power hitting after coming in at 7/109. The Bucks were rattled by the loss of dangerous trio Greg Todd (1), Daniel ‘DJ’ Watson (25) and Suren Ekanayake (5) to be 3/41. Susantha Pradeep counter attacked with a run a ball 37, skipper Troy Aust flicked the ball around for a well-made 19, but it didn’t seem enough when both were back in the sheds at 4/98 - still 119 runs shy of victory. But Rajitha Jayathunga stunned the Bloods, cracking an unbeaten 94 off 67 balls - a knock that included four sixes - to chase down the

By Russell Bennett WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCIATION Round 8 of the West Gippsland Cricket Association’s Premier Division belonged to two of the competition’s brightest stars on Saturday - Tooradin champion Tom Hussey, and bighitting Kooweerup all-rounder Jess Mathers. Hussey’s purple patch in the two rounds leading into the Christmas and New Year break - both against Premier grade newcomers, Clyde - only served to enhance his already fearsome reputation. After demoralising the Cougars’ attack at Clyde in Round 7 - belting an unbeaten 102 in a mammoth 10-wicket win - Hussey backed up that effort with another century, this time as his side batted first and recorded 6/298 from their 40 overs. Hussey (113) and Josh Lownds (79) enjoyed a 172-run stand for the second wicket that set up the innings, with Clyde (188) never coming close in their reply. A short drive up the road, Mathers was putting on a batting masterclass of a slightly different kind - belting 15 sixes and five fours in a knock that was barely even believable by those who were there to witness it. Batting first, the Demons reached 4/240 from their 40 overs with Mathers unbeaten on 140. In the final partnership of the innings - a 116-run stand with Ayden Mills - Mathers contributed 100 of them. This truly was an innings the likes of which most local players and followers would never have witnessed before. The Demons then utilised 11 bowlers in Upper Beaconsfield’s reply, which finished on 5/179 with Luke Willis top scoring with 90 not out. After the Round 7 clash between Merinda Park and Emerald at Donnelly Reserve - which Emerald won - it always seemed like there’d be another twist in the tale of their relegation battle, and Saturday’s clash at Chandler Reserve was exactly that. Instead of building on their breakthrough

48 people in attendance with everyone enjoying the meal and the relaxing social atmosphere. The members draw was won by Keith Damon, who also won the Christmas raffle. A merry Christmas and a safe new year to all members.
Despite the recent multi-million dollar upgrades to the Casey Indoor Leisure Centre, the City of Casey continues to have a major shortfall when it comes to indoor basketball stadia according to Basketball Victoria. The Basketball Victoria facility wish-list - an extensive 174-page document titled the ‘Basketball Victoria Facility Master Plan - is essentially Basketball Victoria’s facilities strategy to address what it deems to be a “significant indoor court shortage” within the state’s sporting community. According to the sport’s state body, facility development and expansion remain important aspects to maintaining the viability of basketball’s future. Each municipality, or Victorian Local Government Area (LGA), across the state has been dissected within the masterplan, including the percentage of its population playing basketball, the current court provision, and any urgent needs for redevelopment or construction. According to the document, “The City (of Casey) continues to have a major shortfall in indoor stadia provision. Based on catering for population growth, there is a need for an additional nine courts by 2021.”
