Property Lift out

Taking no chances By Bonny Burrows

Pakenham Fire Brigade firefighters Grant McCabe and Shane Boyington with Nathan Prowd in a suburban bush setting in Ahern Road, Pakenham. File photo notice specifying the work required to reduce the fire risk. In the instance a property owner fails to comply with the fire prevention notice’s orders, the council will forcibly clear the property at the owner’s expense. Residents also face being slapped with fines of $1586.

Cardinia Shire’s emergency management coordinator Janette Schimleck said approximately 150 infringement notices were issued to residents last fire season. Council hopes residents will this summer heed to the warnings and be more prepared. “We are hoping those numbers will be less,” Ms Schimleck said.

For more information about reporting suspicious activity during the bushfire season visit http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/contact/emergency-call-000/A4_poster_Arson.pdf Residents can to stay up-to-date with the latest fire and emergency information available via the CFA website and VicEmergency app.

Local fire brigades, Cardinia Shire Council and Pakenham police are on high alert this summer to ensure residents do the right thing. And with temperatures set to soar to 38 degrees this Thursday 18 and Friday 19 January, the latter of which has been declared a day of total fire ban, community members are urged to be prepared in case of a fire. With the high temperatures comes an increased fire risk and while firefighters are ready to spring into action if necessary, CFA Operations Officer Andrew Turner said the responsibility ultimately came down to individuals. “We’ve done all our brigade pre-summer training but the community also needs to be prepared,“ Mr Turner said. “Know what you’re going to do (in the instance of a fire). Have an emergency evacuation plan and implement it if necessary.“’ According to the CFA, distance is the best protection from radiant heat. The fire authority urged community members caught in the vicinity of a fire to move as far away from the fire as possible and to not to get caught out in the open. In the instance of a grassfire, residents are advised to stay at least two street lengths back from the fire. Pakenham police is also doing its bit to ensure resident safety this fire season, as part of a state-wide initiative Operation Fire Set Up. Pakenham police Acting Senior Sergeant Kim Warburton said the aim of the operation was to detect “reckless behaviour”. “Our aim is to reduce the occurrence and impact of the intention of reckless bushfire activity during the high-risk period,” she said. “It’s a high-visibility in bushfire arson prevention detection operation. “It has dedicated marked police patrols targeting areas of high risk, particularly over the fire period in November to April.” Cardinia Shire’s fire prevention officers are also taking no chances this season, and have issued a stern warning to residents to ensure their properties are cleared of fire hazards such as fallen trees and blocked gutters. The shire’s officers began inspecting properties before Christmas to check for fire hazards and will continue to do so throughout the summer. If properties are deemed to be a fire risk, residents will be issued with a fire prevention

Bitter end for beloved pet By Brendan Rees A 70-year-old woman has been left devastated after her Jack Russell died after ingesting what was believed to be rat poison. His owner, Bev Shepard, of Hampton Park said there was no rat bait kept on her Highland Avenue property and warned others to be careful. Ms Shepard said she knew something was wrong with Lucky, 13, at about 7am on Sunday 10 December. “He was just nearly out to it. He wasn’t going to do anything. You could see he was struggling.” Lucky was taken to the Animal Emergency Centre (AEC) in Hallam but his condition deteriorated. “By the time we got him there he was critical; we couldn’t do a great deal for him,” she said. “He still had the bit of blue on his lip and that’s when they confirmed it that it was the bait.” The Vet told Ms Shepard they could operate but there was no guarantee Lucky would survive. “I said “it’s best that we put him to sleep.’” Ms Shepard said she suspected someone may have thrown bait into her backyard. “I know people next door who have got a little girl; they had had a couple of baits thrown over their fence at their dog, a German Shepherd.” “Whether it was meant to hit their dog or not I don’t know.” She said it was hard to describe losing her closest friend. “Even now, we look around and hear a noise, expecting to see him and he’s not here. He was a pretty well-loved dog.” “I would hate to see this happen to other owners and, especially those families with very young children, who may even pick these

Ms Shepard’s neighbour, Xue Wang said she sometimes heard noises coming from her backyard but believed it may have been a possum at night. “I’m not sure if it’s poison or not but I just suspect it, just worry,” she said, after receiving an anonymous letter in her mail box saying her dog was noisy.

City of Casey council say they are not aware of the incident or anything similar happening in the past. Under Victorian law, if someone is caught deliberately poisoning animals, they could be charged with animal cruelty - facing a maximum jail term of 12 months or a fine of up to $39,000. AEC Hallam Veterinary Director Dr Natalie

Rulton said there were many cases when owners suspected their pets had been baited by a malicious person but often pets had found something toxic on their property. RSPCA Victoria Head of Prevention, Sophie Buchanan said it was essential people contacted their local Vet as soon as possible if they suspected their pet had eaten a bait or poison even if their animal were not exhibiting any adverse symptoms. “It’s important to supervise your pet when you’re walking outdoors to minimise the risk they will eat something harmful that they may come across.” “Indoors, pet-proofing your house can also reduce the likelihood your animal will accidentally ingest a dangerous substance,” she said. Anyone who has concerns for the welfare of an animal is encouraged to contact RSPCA Victoria on 9224 2222 or at rspcavic.org.

Building resilience in others as Catherine vies for crown By Brendan Rees Cranbourne North's Miss Australia International's national finalist, Catherine Ayad, is on a mission to empower women experiencing adversity. The 23 year-old started volunteering as a personal dressing consultant with Fitted for Work three years ago, which helps disadvantage women build their self-confidence and get ready for the workforce. "I was working in retail at the time and I fell in love with helping women feel good about themselves through the outfits I chose for them," she said. So I was encouraged to start volunteering and help women." "At the end of the day it's how you feel in your clothes because how you feel is then going to reflect to the outside world." Catherine, who has also been nominated for the Victorian Young Achiever Awards, says her life was "flipped 180" in 2014 after experiencing

a devastating break up with her partner. "The more I started volunteering and hearing these ladies personal stories it made me realise I get can get through a heart break and put my life into perspective." Catherine has since created her own small business, by building her website, www.catherineayad.com.au after successfully receiving $6000 government grant, adding she's on the "way to the top" "My business tagline is driven by confidence and its being comfortable in your own individuality and fully embracing that, not shying away." She says she came across the application for the Miss Australia international beauty pageant by chance on Facebook and decided to apply. "It has been a dream come true and I live to inspire others to chase their dreams no matter what." The Miss Australia International Crowning Ceremony will be held in NSW on Thursday, 22 February this year.

Catherine Ayad says her dreams have come true after been announced as a finalist for the Miss Australia International Pageant. Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Onboard for ship of hope Narre Warren South grandmother Jennifer Marshall has arrived home after spending the last seven weeks volunteering on board the Africa Mercy, the world's largest civilian hospital ship. A bookkeeper by profession, Ms Marshall worked in the on board caf¨¦ and shop, providing the crew of more than 400 volunteers with well-deserved coffee breaks and essential items. Operated by the international medical charity Mercy Ships, the Africa Mercy arrived in Cameroon, Central Africa in August with plans to provide more than 3,000 free, lifechanging surgeries during its 10-month stay in port. Mercy Ships volunteers will also treat over 8,000 patients at a land-based dental clinic, and provide health care training to Cameroonian health care professionals. "I loved serving on the ship, meeting so many amazing like-minded people" Ms Marshall said. "It took me a little while to appreciate that making coffee for the crew is important, however, I am told that it is integral to their wellbeing." Ms Marshall wanted to do whatever she could to ease the suffering of the world's vulnerable people. "I appreciate how blessed I am in Australia and I wanted to give back in an area where I feel there is great need and few resources." "To be able to offer healing to those that would otherwise never have this opportunity is a wonderful thing indeed." In addition to her usual duties, Ms Marshal took time to visit the ship's hospital wards, where she spent time befriending an 18-yearold girl who had surgery on board to correct burn contractures on both feet. "I loved spending time with her; even though we didn't speak the same language we developed quite a lovely connection," she remembered.

Narre Warren South grandmother Jennifer Marshall says her time serving on the Africa Mercy was invaluable in helping those in need. Picture: CONTRIBUTED Ms Marshall found the burns injuries particularly distressing, as they can so easily be prevented. "With the proper treatment at the time of the incident, these types of long term issues wouldn't exist."

Even with hundreds of volunteers from all over the world on board, Mrs Marshall says there was still a great atmosphere of unity. "There is no competition or arrogance. The doctors are on the same salary as the cleaners, so to speak, and we were all there with the same goal and reason, that is to serve the

beautiful people of Cameroon and to provide relief and hope where we can" After spending Christmas in Central Africa, Ms Marshall returned to Narre Warren South recently for belated festivities with her family and plans to return to Mercy Ships as soon as she can.

Having recently had several dealings with the City of Casey and then reading the recent issue of your paper (11 January) highlighted to me the problem that is the Council and the way it goes about its business. After failing compulsory acquisition they offered Mr Foy a hot water service as compensation for the bully boy tactics of the council. And congratulations to Mr Foy for refusing the payoff and to Star News for highlighting the situation. I wish the council had people of the moral calibre of Mr Foy. Compare his behaviour to that of the antics of Mr Beardon and Mr Aziz during the year. Maybe the Star could have a segment where people could publish comments on their dealings with the Council. It would make interesting reading. Some would even be funny ... Like the bylaws officer who arranged for our neighbour to build a ‘soundproof chook shed’ to stop our complaints about their noisy rooster. It was eventually pointed out to the council that its own bylaws forbid the keeping of a rooster in a built up area. If some of the council actions were made known to the wider community we may be able to take a step towards getting local government that was accountable and acting on behalf of its existing community/ ratepayers. Ratepayers would then be aware of what is happening in their Wards and the long term effect it will have on their residences and future lifestyles. Last comment! Has anyone ever tried to contact one of their councillors? If you have please tell me how it is done as emails to them do not work! Maybe the local council elections are a bit too far off for any public relations exercises. Dennis Nish, Cranbourne.

Firies called to smouldering pot plant An improperly discarded cigarette has caused part of a plastic pot plant to melt at the front of a residential house in Cranbourne. Firefighters were called to the address in Sladen Street at about 10.15am on Thursday 11 January where they found a cigarette butt smouldering in a pot plant near the driveway. “It was nothing like it initially came through. It was literally in a plastic pot plant. Overtime it got a bit hot and melted part of the pot plant,” said Cranbourne CFA Station Officer Eugur Ali. Mr Ali said the owner called triple-zero after becoming worried when they saw some smoke. It is believed a family member at the house smoked cigarettes.

How should I address you? When Deputy Casey Council Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon stepped up as chairperson at the 19 December 2017 Casey Council meeting - there was various titles used among councillors in addressing Cr Stapledon whilst Mayor Geoff Ablett apologised for his absence for the evening. There was Deputy Chair, Chair, Madam Deputy Chair, and Madam Chair just to name a few. At one point Cr Sam Aziz said “I’ve run out of titles ... what should I call you now?” Cr Stapledon responded “Call me what you want. I don’t mind.” At the end of the meeting, Cr Stapledon said “Tonight I’ve heard about 10 variations of my title which I think is hilarious. I couldn’t stop giggling. Thank you for the wonderful extension of my title.” pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Mechanics told her they wouldn't carry out any repair works until they confirmed they would be paid by United. "If it was cheap I would just pay it but it's going to cost me so much money I don't have." Ms Kosakiewicz finally received a call from United on the 10 January advising her to provide a quote from a mechanic. "I explained I haven't sent it out to you because I don't know what I'm paying for. No one has told me." "He said 'you can pay for it and be reim-

bursed or you can wait for the money to come and then pay for it.'" United Petroleum CEO David Szymczak apologised to any consumers affected, saying there was an unforeseen equipment failure whereby a mixture of petrol and diesel was dispensed from fuel bowsers at the Cranbourne South service station. "That equipment failure has been since rectified and is resolved." "We're working with consumers that have been affected and paying out all claims," he said.

A 19-year-old motorist has told of how her visit to a United service station in Cranbourne South destroyed her car's fuel system - leaving her a repair bill she couldn't afford. Racqueal Kosakiewicz says she filled up her Holden Astra with a full tank of unleaded petrol at United Petroleum on Cameron Street on Wednesday 27 December. But after breaking down later in the day, the tank was believed to have contained diesel fuel. She says she heard a "crackling" sound and weird noises as she was driving. "It was getting worse as I got home. My dad turned it on and he said it was stalling and smoke was coming out of it." Ms Kosakiewicz, of Cranbourne East, said her brother-in-law; a mechanic checked the car thinking the timing chain needed replacing. "I almost bought the part and he looked at it again and he said 'It smells like diesel.' I said 'I'm not stupid enough to put diesel in my car.' I said 'I've got the receipt." She said she topped up her car with premium fuel to try to flush out the diesel but adds "It shakes and dies because there's still diesel through the motor." "It's running really rough and you can't keep it on." She said she called United and was advised to fill out a complaint form. But United didn't return her phone calls for two weeks, she said, whilst her car was parked broken-down on her front lawn. "It's ongoing, nothing's been done and I do need to have a car. At the moment I've paid almost $400." She said her boyfriend's car was also affected at the same service station: "His was only $15 (of petrol). It's still playing up a bit whereas

BUSINESS PROFILE

Two arrested over robbery lian youths has left residents fearful.Australasian Association of Convenience Stores CEO Jeff Rogut has publicly called for actions to not only protect small businesses but to save people’s lives. Mr Rogut will host a forum calling for taking tougher action against criminals who target businesses without fear or deterrents. Mr Rogut said people who work in the 24/7 convenience industry were feeling less and less safe in going to work. “We are at the point where the only stance on crime left to take is a tough one. Small business demands it and so do members of the community,” Shadow Minister for Police Edward O’Donohue said genuine engagement with communities to discuss the gang crisis was important, but would not fix the immediate threat facing the community. “Daniel Andrews needs to recall Parliament and consider changes to fix our broken bail system, soft sentencing laws and ineffective anti-gang laws.” Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera said the State Government had taken significant action to strengthen the sentencing regime in Victoria. “The Casey community can be assured that Victoria Police is taking a zero tolerance approach to criminal activity and anti-social behaviours.”

By Brendan Rees Police have arrested two men following an alleged armed robbery in Cranbourne North on Sunday 7 January. A 23-year-old Hampton Park man was arrested on Tuesday 9 January following an alleged armed robbery at a service station near the intersection of Elizabeth Street and the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne North about 1.20pm. A 23-year-old Dandenong North man was also arrested on Wednesday 10 January in relation to the armed robbery and an aggravated burglary at a business address on Princes Highway near Power Road in Doveton on Sunday 7 January at about 6.45am.

FOCUS ON … MEDICALLY SPEAKING Philip McCahy of South Eastern Urology can help assist people dealing with small and large kidney stones.

Get help for hard issue

Hospital is on move

12376646-CG04-18

On Thursday January 18, St John of God Berwick Hospital will open its doors to patients for the first time at its new location on Kangan Drive in Berwick. The date marks the end of a two-year construction process that has seen St John of God Berwick Hospital grow from an 82-bed facility to a multi-storey state-of-the art hospital which can now accommodate 202 patient beds. The hospital is also expanding its services also in order to meet the demand of the growing Casey-Cardinia communities and the Eastern Victoria region. Theatre capacity has doubled, growing from four theatres at Gibb Street to eight at Kangan Drive.

A new Critical Care Unit will open which will house the area’s first intensive care unit and a cardiac/high dependency service, along with the region’s first catheter laboratory. Rehabilitation services will also open next month. “These services enable us to continue to provide a more comprehensive range of services to enable us to fulfil our commitment to serving the needs of our local communities,” CEO for St John of God Berwick Hospital Lisa Norman said. “It’s about continuing to expand our services and build on the legacy that was started some 100-plus years ago when the first health

care facility was opened on our Gibb Street hospital site in Berwick back in 1910.” On January 18, the first patient will be transferred from Gibb Street at 8am, with the entire hospital expected to be relocated by mid-afternoon the same day. Once the last patient has arrived at 75 Kangan Drive, the Gibb Street hospital location will close while it undergoes a redevelopment of its own. A rehabilitation hospital, to be known as the St John of God Langmore Centre, will open in its place in 2019. For more information, visit www.sjog.org. au/berwickredevelopment or call the hospital on 8784 5000.

While some smaller kidney stones may pass, South Eastern Urology Urologist Philip McCahy warned that others can be so large that they will not pass and require medical attention. “Up to 15 per cent of the population may develop these stones which can cause recurrent urine infections, and, if left untreated, kidney damage or failure,” Mr McCahy said. Mr McCahy stated that there are three main treatment options for those suffering from large kidney stones. The first is shockwave therapy, a process where external shock waves are focussed on the stone and break it up into small pieces. “We are lucky in the Casey-Cardinia region in that Casey Hospital offers a service unique to Australia with day case, no anaesthetic lithotripsy,” Mr McCahy added. The next treatment is Ureterorenoscopy, a procedure where a very small flexible telescope is passed through natural passages into the kidney where stones are vaporised with a laser. “The urologists at Casey Hospital have the most powerful stone laser available which significantly reduces surgery time and enables better clearance,” Mr McCahy said. Finally, the third treatment Mr McCahy uses is Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, a process where a needle is passed into the kidney from outside and a special balloon stretches the tissues to allow passage of a special telescope into the kidney. “The stones can either be plucked out or broken up and removed,” Mr McCahy explained. “Casey Hospital has one of the largest experiences of these operations in the country and the leading surgeons have developed techniques that have reduced hospital stay significantly. “There are pros and cons to all these treatments and a combination of procedures may be required to guarantee stone clearance. Discussion with a urologist with expertise in stone surgery is essential.” South Eastern Urology was established by Philip McCahy to provide consultant delivered local anaesthetic vasectomy service for the south-eastern suburbs.

FOCUS ON … MEDICALLY SPEAKING

Smiles now in clear style 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 computer-aided visualisation software to demonstrate various treatments and their effects allowing patients to gain an in-depth understanding of

Alarmingly, two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of 70. Australia’s harsh climate and exposure to UV Rays over time can damage skin and lead to several types of skin cancers. Not all skin cancers are the same, however. Basal cell carcinomas, which are the most common type among people with pale skin, are tumours in the cells that produce the top layer of skin. These are typically located in areas of high exposure to sun. Less common, but a more dangerous form of skin cancer are Melanomas which most commonly appear on the face, back and lower legs. One in 29 Australians will develop a Melanoma in their lifetime. Lastly, Squamous Cell Carcinomas gener-

ally start to appear on sun damaged skin from the age of 40 onwards and are tumours of the top layer of skin. If left undetected, these cancers can spread and become deadly. Due to the prevalence of such skin cancers, and the risks of these going undetected, annual skin checks are recommended. With early detection, 90 per cent of cases can be treated under local anaesthetic at Sun Patrol. Qualified doctors at Sun Patrol can conduct thorough checks of the entire skin surface to look for signs of skin cancer or areas of concern. Don’t delay, book your appointment today!

Jakobsson dee-lighed By Nick Creely Melbourne recruit and Cranbourne star Bianca Jakobsson hasn’t looked back since being traded from Carlton ahead of the second season of AFLW, which kicks off at the start of February. The 24-year-old joined the Demons - in a homecoming to Casey Fields - in exchange for pick 12 in the trade period. For Jakobsson, the move narrowed down to one important thing. “I had a meeting with the head coach, and the operations manager at the time, and it just seemed like an incredible environment - I just wanted to be a part of it,” she said. “Being a Carlton supporter growing up, it was a tough decision, but I saw the Melbourne Football Club as the perfect fit for me, and the culture just really stood out. “I really wanted to grow and develop my football, and I found Melbourne to be the perfect fit. “It’s been a smooth transition, and a bit daunting at the start coming into a new club, but I’ve absolutely loved it and I’m learning a lot. “I haven’t looked back since.” Jakobsson played seven games for the Blues in the inaugural AFLW season, but said that the excitement around the club is different ahead of round one, as they look to improve on their third placing in 2017. “It’s three weeks now until round one, so the excitement is certainly building, and we’re just doing a lot of match play now at training, so we’re really getting our bodies ready,” she said. “There’s a lot of excitement around the club, and obviously a lot of hype about us outside the club, so it’s all really exciting. “What’s really stood out for me is the cul-

ture- the club is so big on getting everyone better - the drive to get better is so prominent at the Dees, we simply can’t wait.” The dynamic playmaker is also set for a shift in roles at her new club, after being drafted as a key forward. “Since the State of Origin I’ve been playing defence - I’ve been able to read the play and use my strengths a bit more, so I’ve been training in defence at Melbourne,” she said. “I’ll be a bit of a utility, I think, and I’ll spend some time down forward too - but I’m really enjoying being a defender.” However, there are challenges for the women set to embark on the second season of the competition, with the shortened season meaning players need to be in pristine condition from the very start. “It’s tough with the short season, we know that every game has something on the line you can’t drop games, and a loss can feel like losing a grand final,” she said. “You just have to prepare the best you can, and not worry about any outside noise - we need to just put everything out on the track, and on game day, it all just has to click.” The Demons will host the GWS Giants at Casey Fields, Cranbourne in round one on 3 February, with virtually a full list, in front of Jakobsson’s home crowd. “That affiliation with Casey, and being a Casey girl myself, makes it all the more exciting - to be able to play in front of family and friends is pretty exciting,” she said. “We are in really good shape - everyone’s doing great except for Kempy (Ainslie Kemp) who has done an ACL, which is really devastating. “All the girls are on track, so the list is in very healthy shape.”

Bianca Jakobsson can't wait to get stuck into the 2018 AFLW season. Picture: COURTESY OF THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB.

Australian had similar power to all-time great Serena Williams. “She is very talented and powerful, and I think she is going to be very good,“ the Romanian said. “She’s a little bit like Serena, she’s hitting the ball strong, she’s a powerful girl and for sure she will be good in the future.” Aiava, who was awarded a wildcard for her Australian Open debut last year, said confidence was the main thing she would take away from the clash against the world’s best. “The fact that she referenced me to Serena

gives me a lot of confidence in myself,“ Aiava said in her post-match interview. “I feel honoured as well, especially coming from her, being the best player in the world right now. I’m going to take a lot of confidence out of that match.“ Aiava is continuing on from a breakthrough 2017, when the then 16-year-old was named by Australian captain Alicia Molik to make her Fed Cup debut against Serbia. Aiava will always be remembered as the first player born in the 2000s to compete in a grand slam main draw when she took to the court for last year’s Australian Open.

The match between Lang Lang and Nyora on Saturday held extra significance with the game taking place for the inaugural Beyond Blue Trophy donated by Nyora captain Jake Hackett. Owing to the inclement weather the game was declared a draw with both sides claiming a moral victory. On Saturday night the spotlight turned to the Lang Lang Hall where the crowd heard a talk on the issues associated with depression, anxiety disorders and related mental disorders. Nyora President Don Scott welcomed everyone to the event and introduced guest speaker Gary Friend, who gave a wonderful and informative talk on the subject. This was the first year of the Beyond Blue Trophy but all agreed it was a huge success and will only get bigger as the years roll by. On behalf of Lang Lang I would like to congratulate Nyora Cricket Club on showing such great initiative for a good cause.

You can’t keep a good man down. Kooweerup opener Chris O’Hara had time for a breather during Pictures ROB CAREW his fine knock of 74 against Merinda Park. 176658 the Seagulls and Lions clash in the WGCA Premier Division Match of the Day at Rutter Park on Sunday. A victory is crucial to both team’s premiership aspirations - a home final is possibly at stake - but the opportunity to raise awareness of the issues surrounding mental health give this contest extra special meaning. Both clubs have been impacted by the condition in recent years and Tooradin skipper Aaron Avery hopes the Beyond Blue clash will help fight the battle against mental health issues, including depression and anxiety. “We’re hoping to turn this into an annual event between the clubs to help raise awareness for an issue that is really having a huge impact on the community,” Avery said. “At Tooradin, we’ve had a couple of ex-players fall due to mental illness and Pakenham has been impacted as well. It’s out there and it affects everyone, so if we can raise awareness and make a difference to just one life it will all be worthwhile in the end.” Tooradin is extending an open invite to the day, with activities including a jumping castle, face painting, music, raffles along with plenty of food and drinks to enjoy while watching the cricket. The day will also include silent auction items including memorabilia, Medallion Club passes, a family Luna Park pass, Rebel Sports vouchers, cricket gear and much more. And on-field it should be a cracker, with both teams keen to emerge as Kooweerup’s number-one challenger for this year’s title. “We always look forward to the games against Pakenham, we match up well with each other and they’re always pretty close games,” Avery said, before identifying the key to rolling the Lions on Sunday. “They’re a bit like us, a very even team, but Dom Paynter is probably the most dangerous. He comes in at five or six, and if they’re in trouble he brings them back in it, and if they’re on top he puts the foot down and puts them ahead of the game. “But they’ve got plenty of good players. Smithy’s (Chris Smith) dangerous and due for a big score, Chappy (Zac Chaplin) has had good year and Robbie Elston is always hard to get out. “But we’re really confident. We’ve probably worried too much about the opposition in the past but now we’re just focussing on what we need to do.” Avery is hoping a team-first mentality will lead the Seagulls to their first grand final appearance since their last premiership success in 2013. “As a team we’re combining really well and not relying on one or two players to get us across the line,” he said. “Huss (Tom Hussey) has obviously had a

great year but most of the other batsmen have chipped in and made some important runs at times.” In other games, Cardinia make the toughest road trip to Kooweerup, Clyde will look to keep its finals hopes alive against Merinda Park at Lineham Oval, while Emerald host Upper Beaconsfield in a must-win clash for both clubs.

Isn’t it ironic ... ... .don’t you think! Tooradin’s season in the WGCA Premier Division is summed up perfectly by the above lyric from Alanis Morissette’s 1996 smash hit. In fact, if you could add another lyric to the song it would go something like this. ‘We haven’t lost a game, but we sit in second place, isn’t it ironic ... don’t you think!’ The irony of Tooradin’s season continues to grow after the undefeated Seagulls fell further behind a surging Kooweerup in a weather-affected round 10 on the weekend. The Seagulls, who won their first eight games, sat idle due to extreme heat in round nine and were denied the chance to chase Upper Beaconsfield’s (5/162) competitive score on Saturday due to the skies closing in. Two weekends - two frustrating draws. The Demons, meanwhile, banked a crucial win against Clyde last Sunday - escaping the heat - before scoring their ninth win on the trot (7/186dec to 4/138) against Merinda Park on Saturday. Two weekends - two opportunistic victories. The bottom line is the Demons have now extended their margin to 16 points over the Seagulls with four rounds left in the season. But rather than dwell on his team’s luck, Tooradin skipper Aaron Avery preferred to heap praise on a team that he knows he will have to topple to earn a grip on this year’s cup. “They may have had some breaks with the weather but the bottom line is they know how to win games of cricket,” Avery said. “They had a small window on Saturday and got the job done against Merinda Park and they’ve won two outrights as well so they deserve their place on the ladder.” The Demons were ruthless against the Cobras, with Chris O’Hara (74) cracking his fourth half-century of the season and Chris Bright (47) taking his average to 49 from his last four visits to the crease. Peter Jessop (3/32) took top marks for the Cobras, who then crashed to a precarious 3/11 in reply, with Demons’ opener Jack Bacon (3/27) in red-hot form with the Kooka. Mitch Thomas (54 not out), Chris Smith (33) and Jass Dhaliwal (30 not out) played defiant roles, but the Demons rushed and crushed their way to a very impressive victory. At Upper Beaconsfield, the Seagulls were first denied by a sparkling innings from Maroons’ opener Imesh Jayasekara (91 not out), and then by the weather, the Maroons (5/162) score just a tempting target in the distance. But despite his frustration, Avery is keeping a very level approach to the remainder of the season. “We were pretty shattered that we couldn’t get out there and try and chase down the runs but all we can do now is keep winning and make sure we finish second,” the Seagulls skipper said. “That’s been our goal all along, to finish top two and host a semi-final and give ourselves the best opportunity of qualifying for a grand final. Every game from this point forward needs to be played at a finals standard.” Cardinia (8/148) was the other big winner on the weekend, with its three big-guns leading the Bulls to victory over Emerald (83) at Gunton Oval. Te Ahu Davis (55) led the way with the willow, scoring his first half century as a Bull, before the irrepressible Dwayne Doig (4/18) cut a swathe through the Bombers top order. The champion spinner took the first four wickets to fall before leaving some crumbs for both Alex Nooy (3/24) and Travis Wheller (2/22) to mop up. Julian Hanfi-Scott (3/26) and Jason Burns (21) were best of a poorly performed Bombers outfit. And Pakenham and Clyde (9/129) had to settle for a draw at Toomuc Reserve.
