Dream bedrooms for real Giving your child the room they need to be a happy little sleeper, creator, and student is easy with the right kids’ furniture and home wares from Amart Furniture. To create a funky and practical kid’s bedroom start with these essentials:

· A comfy kid’s bed · Some cool kid’s bedding · A kid’s desk for homework and play · Storage to keep everything in its place. When choosing children’s furniture and bedroom décor consider the size and layout of the space, what the room will be used for and whether you want to decorate to a theme or something more timeless they won’t outgrow. Whether you prefer a traditional timber style or something a little more adventurous, your kid’s bed is the star of the show. Single beds are a great option when moving a little one into their first ‘big’ bed. They’re roomy enough to accommodate toddlers and teens, so your child can enjoy years in their single bed without needing an upgrade. Offering a bit more space for growing limbs, king single beds are generously sized and perfect for older kids and teens. Beds offering under-bed storage make it easy to keep bedrooms tidy and organised. Compact and convenient, beds with storage are particularly handy if you’re working with a small room in need of additional storage space. Bunk beds are not only fun, but another awesome way to maximise the space in your kid’s bedroom. From single bunk beds and double bunk beds to loft bunk beds, there are plenty of funky options out there, great for siblings and sleepovers. Playful and exciting, novelty beds are a cool way to inject character into your child’s bedroom. Whether you opt for a race car bed, fire truck bed, boat bed, kombi bed, or tepee bed, 2W STAR NEWS

You might even find your child spending more time getting creative and less time turning to electronics for entertainment. Storage

Need a home for those puzzles, blocks, and other games when they’re not being used? A toy box could be the perfect solution for keeping your kid’s bedroom floor clear! Tall chests of drawers make it easy to keep your kid’s clothes packed away and organised. Despite their name, bookcases are ideal for everything from books to board games, DVDs and everything in between!

FOCUS ON … AMART FURNITURE GRAND OPENING

It’s furniture with a smile When the CEO of Amart Furniture made an unannounced visit to the company’s new Pakenham store in December he was greeted like any other customer - with a cheery “Hello, how are you? Can I help you?“ It took a few seconds for store manager Linda Purcell to realise she was speaking to the CEO. An impressed Lee Chadwick complimented Linda and her team on the welcoming feel of the store, as well as their enthusiasm and passion for their jobs. “We got the award for being the best store of all the stores he visited on his tour. It was very exciting for the staff,“ said Ms Purcell. The new Amart Furniture store, which occupies part of the former Masters building, has created 20 new jobs for locals, with employees drawn from Pakenham, Berwick, Officer and Kooweerup. “We wanted people who were connected to the community because it’s important to create a relationship with customers,“ explained Ms Purcell. “Our vision is to impact the homes and lives of everyday Australians. We try to offer affordable, good quality furniture. “When you buy a couch you have it for 10 years or more. A couch isn’t something you are going to turn over quickly. It is important you love it.“ To personalise the store, staff have created a photo board on which they will display the pictures of “families we have impacted“ like the grandmother who wanted a chair in which her daughter could nurse her new baby. “It’s not just about selling a piece of furniture, but understanding what that purchase will mean to their lives,“ said Ms Purcell. “It’s about the stories you tell on that couch, or sitting in that chair or on that stool. It’s important family time. Sitting at a dining table and eating together is the same. “If only furniture could talk.“ Amart Furniture was founded 40 years ago in Queensland and now boasts more than 60 superstores nationwide. The Pakenham store stocks a huge range of furniture from outdoor settings to bedroom packages and mattresses to sofas, dining and coffee tables. Furniture is arranged in a series of open plan “rooms“ allowing customers to visualise how it will look in their own homes. Most products come in a variety of sizes, colours, materials and prices meaning it’s incredibly easy to find the right option for every home and budget. Amart Furniture is also proud to partner with Ronald McDonald House Charities. The new Amart Furniture Superstore is having a grand opening sale from Thursday 25 January until Monday 29 January. Don’t miss out on 25 per cent off all lounges and bedroom furniture. Nova FM Street Team will attend on Saturday 27 January from 10am until 1pm. There will be activities for the whole family including face painting, balloon twisting, a jumping castle, farm animals, photo booth and coffee van.

Cardinia Shire councillors have agreed to investigate the partial funding of community Christmas decorations.

Picture: CARDINIA SHIRE COUNCIL

Tinsel towns back Fellow councillor Carol Ryan said she was approached by many residents over Christmas unhappy with the lack of local decorations. "It didn't feel like Christmas to them," Cr Ryan. "(Christmas is supposed to be) about uniting family, children, seniors, the disadvantaged and the homeless." Mayor Collin Ross said for too long council had been called the "Grinches of Christmas". "I think it's something we need to address. The people have spoken," Cr Ross said. Under Cr Brown's motion, council officers will investigate the viability of a Christmas decorations grants program. While the details will be fleshed out fol-

lowing the officers' report, Cr Brown said he envisioned such scheme could involve council matching community group contributions dollar for dollar. He joked the 'tinsel terror elf' would need to become an incorporated body to apply for the funding. "We all like to see our townships looking good. It's good for the kids and it's good for the shop keepers," Cr Brown said. Cr Michael Schilling said he was hoping the investigation would uncover an equable way to "inspire festive spirit and encourage social cohesion" within the local community. The report will be tabled at the council's 19 March general meeting.

This year may mark the return of festive cheer to the streets of Cardinia Shire. Cardinia Shire Council, last year branded a "Grinch" for not displaying Christmas decorations in Pakenham's CBD, has agreed to investigate the possibility of a grants program to assist community groups decorate local townships during the festive season. The council does not currently fund the decoration of the shire's shopping precincts, as it "does not have such an arrangement nor budget" to do so. But that may soon change. At the 22 January general council meeting, Port Ward councillor Ray Brown moved a mo-

tion to consider a partial funding of such decorations after witnessing the difference a few bits of tinsel made to the community. "Kooweerup was looking absolutely dull and it didn't look like Christmas at all," Cr Brown said of the past festive season. But that quickly changed when an anonymous community member, dubbed the "tinsel terror elf" by Cr Brown, worked some magic on the town. "A tinsel terror elf took it upon themselves ... to put some tinsel in the trees around Station Street and all of a sudden it became Christmas," he said. "For a small amount of money it really looked sensational."

Retribution Day arrived for convicted SouthEastern hoons - and their cars - at a Dandenong South wrecking yard recently. Eight vehicles seized by Taskforce Regarder police and forfeited for destruction were crushed on 19 January. The convicted drivers had been taking part in illegal hoon meets in Lynbrook, Mulgrave and Dandenong South in November 2015 to January 2016. They included a 25-year-old Clyde North man who was charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury. A 30-year-old Hampton Park man had his black Holden ute destroyed after being convicted of the same charge. A 20-year-old Cranbourne East man’s blue Ford sedan will be destroyed in coming days after its LPG tank was removed, police say. On 24 January, Taskforce Regarder police arrested two people accused of planning and organising dangerous hoon meets in the South East between June and September 2017. They were arrested as part of raids in Moorabbin, Bentleigh East, Endeavour Hills and Ferntree Gully that morning.

Brakes come off trailer Firefighters helped a family continue their journey to Sale after their trailer’s brakes came off on the Monash Freeway in Narre Warren on

Friday, 19 January. Hallam fire brigade responded to the incident at 8am between Belgrave-Hallam Road and Ernst Wanke Road. Hallam CFA Senior Station Officer Kerry Phillips said there was no safety risk was posed to other drivers. “The breaks have come on and not released and over-heated the brakes. They’ve come off for some reason,” said Hallam CFA Senior Station Officer Kerry Phillips. “It wasn’t a fire in the end,” he added. “They just pulled over to the side of the freeway. Because it’s tandem we took two of the wheels off so they could go on their merry way.” There were no reports of any injuries.

Narre Warren CFA praised Kudos to Narre Warren CFA’s catering unit who came to the rescue of hard-working firies at the Carrum Downs blaze this month. The unsung volunteers are often sent out to large-scale emergencies across Victoria. On this occasion, they were more than kept busy. They served more than 600 meals to more than 300 fire-fighters at the 6 January bushfire.

The power of office only gets you so far Can you believe Roads Minister Luke Donnellan was held up by roadworks as he arrived late for a Star News photo shoot on Narre WarrenCranbourne Road?

There’s no questioning the facts. During summer, you should check Fire Danger Ratings daily via the VicEmergency website or app. The higher the rating, the more uncontrollable a fire would be if one started. Ratings can be different across the state, so know your fire district. Decide what rating is your trigger to take action.

Our ‘watcher’ mourned By Cam Lucadou-Wells Rough diamond, salt-of-the-earth and selfless - they don't make them like Jennifer Baird anymore. Remembered as the driving force of Neighbourhood Watch Casey, the grandmother of five died with family at her side on 22 January. Few could match her kindness and her ferocity in standing up for the community she cared deeply about, NWC co-founding member Raph Even-Chaim said. "She really exuded that level of strength." She founded the group in 2010, forming it from the plethora of small street-based Neighbourhood Watch groups such as her local Lynbrook branch. She led it as chairwoman, secretary and treasurer and still chipped in despite ill health in the past two years. Ms Baird and the group won Casey volunteer awards and were recognised by the state Neighbourhood Watch body. But she wasn't in it for the trappings, Mr Even-Chaim said. "She genuinely believed you need to work hard to get a better community. "If anyone deserves the individual accolades, it's Jen." No one could match her passion and commitment, earning the respect of Casey Council and Victoria Police, Mr Even-Chaim said. "She could be absolutely terrifying at times but it was always for the right reasons," Mr Even-Chaim said. "She was one of the good ones. It's devastating that she's gone." At Ms Baird's instigation, the group ran two massive family-fun days at Cranbourne Racecourse and lobbied hard for safer streets in Doveton. Ms Baird and daughter-in-law Sharon Wal-

Jen Baird shares a children's safety message with mascot KC Dog. Picture: SUPPLIED

It is now Neighbourhood Watch's state mascot. The watch-group was Ms Baird's baby but above all, she cared for her family, Ms Wallace said. As a single mum, she raised three kids. She also ran a theatrical-costume business from her garage where her sewing machines and fabrics still dwell. "She was always dealing with men and would stand eye-to-eye with them. She was respected for that," Ms Wallace said. "If you ask her a question, you get a straight answer." Long-time friend Rita Hartney said she and Ms Baird were like "Thelma and Louise" dur-

ing regular outings in the car. "We never stopped laughing. "She made me feel young again. It doesn't seem right that I'm still here and she's gone. "I'm going to miss her terribly." Ms Baird often appeared on her friend's radio show Hot Topics with Rita, spruiking Neighbourhood Watch. When Ms Hartney was Casey's Senior Citizen of the Year in 2015, without fail Ms Baird would drive her elder friend to functions. Once an opera singer, Ms Baird had a fine singing voice, Ms Hartley said. Through both of their ill health, the pair had seen little of each other in the past two years. "Doctors told her to take walks so I told

her that when she walks to the park near my house, ring me. "And I'll walk in the park and meet you." But those hopeful rendezvouses never happened, she said. NWC chair Rob Ward says he often turned to Ms Baird for advice after taking the stewardship of NWC. "Without her, there would be no Neighbourhood Watch Casey," Mr Ward said. "If we had more Jennifer Bairds, the community would be a much better place. Cardinia Shire Council took a moment to reflect on Ms Baird's contributions at its 22 January meeting. Councillor Jodie Owen received word of Ms Baird's passing via text message during the meeting and was visibly upset by the news. Cr Owen said Ms Baird was instrumental in assisting Cardinia Shire form its own Neighbourhood Watch group. Her loss would be greatly felt within the Cardinia community, he said. "My deepest condolences to her family and friends," Cr Owen said. Ms Baird's funeral will be held at the Boyd Chapel, Springvale Botanical Cemetery at 12.30pm, Tuesday, 30 January.

Residents flat over looming apartments Residents in a Berwick estate fear that a proposed rezoning will lead to "slum dwellings" spoiling their quiet, leafy streets. Casey Council is proposing to allow apartments of up to four storeys in some parts of Timbarra Estate under its proposed planning amendment C198. As a result, the estate's serenity - notable for its large property setbacks, cul-de-sacs and predominantly single-storey homes - could be destroyed, residents say. A shocked resident Declan Foley moved into the area 20 years ago because of its ambience. He says the area had been unspoiled since then, and been a popular settlement for young families and retirees. The area's narrow roads and cul-de-sacs couldn't cope with extra traffic, the taller, bulkier buildings were out of character and the area was at greater risk of stormwater floods, he said.

Mr Foley is leading a 48-signature petition by residents to oppose the rezoning. He warned ward councillors Tim Jackson and Susan Serey in an emailed letter that "I am sure you do not wish to go down in history as the council responsible for the creation of slum dwellings in a family-friendly and elderly-friendly urban area." According to the Amendment C198 explanatory notes, Casey is targeting several residential areas near activity centres and railway stations. Mr Foley says the estate was out of walking range of the closest railway stations and major activity centres in Narre Warren, Fountain Gate and Berwick. Under the change, Allardice Parade and Lyrebird Gardens would be rezoned as Residential Growth Zone, paving the way for fourstorey developments. Neighbouring streets such as Samuel Close and Dylan Court would be rezoned as General Residential Zone 2.

This allows for a more dense mix of threestorey apartments and townhouses. Casey councillor Tim Jackson said the amendment was part of a strategy for more housing diversity. "The area was selected for increased urban development as properties in that location are generally within 400 metres of Parkhill Plaza Activity Centre." Cr Jackson said the estate's present zoning allowed for houses up to three storeys "although this is probably not well known". "As always residential development needs to reflect the neighbourhood character objectives of the area." He said the Amendment C198 residential densities would be developed over 20 years or more. It would give Casey and the State Government time to respond to parking and traffic capacity issues, he said. Casey Council is accepting late submissions on Amendment C198 until 31 January.

Police are appealing to witnesses following an alleged burglary in Hampton Park last week. Detective Senior Constable Denai Fitzpatrick said at about 9pm unknown vandals forced entry into a Willow Drive property on Friday, 19 January. "No one's been home; damaged was caused to the property and some personal items were stolen," she said. Ash Blythe, a neighbour, said he heard a noise when the break-in occurred. "I even went out the back and looked over the back fence, turned the light on and

I couldn't see anything," he said. "I feel awful because I heard it. Our house backs onto a causeway so there's a lot of noise that comes from there. The dogs started barking so that's what got me." He suspected someone may have been eyeing off the property as removal trucks had been at the property in recent days. Mr Blythe caught up with his neighbours the following morning and checked the damage with them. "Someone's been in there and helped themselves to all sorts of things and destroyed the house," he said.

$1.4 million TattsLotto win A woman from Berwick has burst into tears upon hearing confirmation she won more than $1.4 million in TattsLotto’s $30 million Megadraw more than a fortnight ago. The unregistered winner was one of 21 division one winners across Australia in TattsLotto, draw 3803 on 30 December 2017, who each took home a division one prize of $1,428.584.98. As her winning entry was not registered to a Tatts Card, Tatts officials had no way of contacting the winner to break the division one winning news. The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, purchased her winning 12-game entry at Berwick Springs Lotto and News, Kiosk 2, at Eden Rise Shopping Centre, Berwick. She admitted her winning entry had been in her purse the whole time and that she had been too busy diving into the New Year to check it until now. “Are you sure?” the woman cried when her

new millionaire status was confirmed by a Tatts official. “I don’t know what to say! “I had the ticket in my purse - we’ve been really busy and I just thought I’d check it today,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d won $10,000 or something. We get excited when we win $30! “This is just a bit too much! I just can’t believe it! “It’s just such a once in lifetime thing! For some reason I just thought ‘it’s near New Year so let’s buy a ticket’. I don’t even know why I thought to check the ticket today. It’s just meant to be.” She said: “It’s just wonderful news! This is just life-changing!” The overwhelmed winner plans to use her Megadraw windfall to pay off some debts and set herself up for the future.

Last year the Andrews State Government released a draft Bill to modernize local government and to replace the existing 1989 Act. Public submissions have been invited. Submissions and can be made online at www. yourcouncilourcommunity.vic.gov.au or by email to localgovernment@delwp.vic.gov.au. Submissions close on February 23. If you need assistance you can contact me jdglazebrook@gmail.com anytime. The 1989 Local Government Act does indeed need to be modernised: it needs to make local councils more democratic and transparent. Public Question Time with Casey council is not democratic. Ratepayers should have the right to ask their own questions and seek clarification if needed at all general council meetings. At present ratepayers and residents are treated like children. Casey council and its CEO, Mike Tyler, have never had a public meeting to discuss the key issues impacting on this community with residents in over 20 years! Other issues that should be incorporated in a new Local Government Act could include permanently capping council rates at two per cent, replacing all CEOs with team leaders,and replacing the present Local Government Inspectorate with a dedicated Local Government Ombudsman’s Office. Local government faces a legitimacy crisis brought on by poor management and leadership failures. I believe that changing the present leadership model, based around the cult of the CEO, and conventional management systems, is essential for modernising Victorian municipalities in the 21st century. The present structure of leadership on council is anachronistic and the council inspectorate has become little more than a propaganda instrument. Highly paid and over-rated CEOs have failed to impact the main challenges facing councils today and lack public confidence. I believe a new leadership model is needed to restore public confidence and that the new 2018 Local Government Act for Victoria must address all of these concerns. John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

THUMBS UP THUMBS DOWN Thumbs up To all the honest people in our community that don't keep things they find.

Thumbs down To the low lives that do keep what they find. Honesty is always the best policy.

Thumbs down To the construction company doing the extension of Thompsons Road from the railway line to the

South Gippsland Highway in North Cranbourne. They opened the access from Gray St but have not taken down enough of the sight barriers to allow for visibility of vehicles turning onto Thompsons Road from Gray St. This was pointed out to a number of the workers on the site last week. They were still up so I approached the traffic controllers working further down the road. I was told it was outside their responsibility but they had advised the Company previously because of several minor accidents at the site. I wonder where the Company stands if someone sues or if there is a serious accident caused by them blocking visibility.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

With John Arnott, horticulturist at the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne

1. What is something people don't know about you? That I was born in Scotland (Perthshire) and that our family migrated to Australia in 1966. 2. What was your most memorable moment? My wife Lisa and I had an amazing encounter with Elephants in the Thai mountains. We were cycle touring (on a tandem) and spent some time in a tiny Karen village that was 'rewilding' a small heard of Elephants. We shared the rainforest with a family of five elephants and their Mahouts, walking through trackless bush, mudholes and rainforest streams ... an incredible encounter! 3. What's the best thing about working at Royal Botanic Garden, Cranbourne? Working at the Cranbourne Gardens is in many respects my dream job! My passion for native plants is completely aligned with the mission for the Gardens to 'advance the understanding and appreciation of plants". Botanic Gardens are legacy projects and I feel somewhat privileged to be involved with this garden. 4. What is your favourite television show? At the moment it's Outlander. It's one of those shows were you have to suspend belief a little but I am completely into it. I can watch all manner of sport ... I could watch lawn bowls and be fully engaged! 5. What is your favourite book? I really enjoyed Tim Wintons Dirt Music, his descriptions of the Kimberly landscape really captures the vastness and isolation of that part of the world. Coupled with the compelling and powerful story line it really grabbed me. The soundtrack to the book is some of the best 'dirt music' (Country Blues) that you would ever hear.

6. Which six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? Uncle Jack Charles and Archie Roach to learn more about aboriginal life in Melbourne post stolen generation years; Shane Howard and Missy Higgins, with guitar and piano at hand; and environmentalists David Attenborough and Jane Goodall. 7. What's the best bit of advice you have been given about gardening? Match plant selection to the environmental conditions of your garden. In other words select plants that are well suited to your gardens conditions. Another solid tip is to take a walk around your neighbourhood and observe what is flourishing in local gardens, this can provide ideas for what you could be growing in your garden! 8. At school I.......struggled for a fair bit, I

practically dropped out, but got myself together when I was fortunate to be able to attend Woodleigh School in Baxter which really switched on my curiosity and appreciation of learning and studying the natural environment. 9. If you could play in any sporting event around the world, what it would be? Any of the grand European bicycle tours such as the Tour de France of Giro 'd'italia 10. What was your first or best concert? First concert was the Karingal High School Dance (late '70's) when a band called "Cloud Nine" played. They were pretty crappy from memory. Our family have spent over 20 years attending the Port Fairy Folk Music Festival and over the years witnessed some amazing acts ... too many to name.

FOCUS ON … WEDDINGS

Print experts Anne, Josh, Amara and Amber of PrintHut Pakenham offer a 'one stop' home office solution with Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS print, fax, copy, email and scan facilities. 176730

Josh Oram and his fiancee Amber Lancaster are the proud new owners of Pakenham’s PrintHut - the much-loved local design, print and copy centre. As new owners, Josh and Amber have worked hard to revitalise the store and as Josh’s mother Anne Paton explained, the pair focus on combining their talents to provide the best customer service. “Josh grew up in Taree New South Whales and attended university where he studied IT and later Graphic Design,” Anne explained. “At the age of 27, a sporting injury triggered a rare form of malignancy in his jaw. What followed was many months of surgery, radiotherapy and rehab - leaving vicious scars on many parts of his body. But Josh is a fighter. He beat the cancer and continued to pursue his love of technology and gaming.” It was through the online game ‘World of Warcraft’ (WOW) that Josh met Amber; a graphic designer and talented artist from Narre Warren. “He travelled to Victoria for her birthday and there the love story begins,” Anne said. “Amber saw Josh’s scars as that of a warrior that had fought many battles - just like WOW where they first met.” Amber began working as a graphic designer at Print Hut and soon earnt a reputation for thinking outside the square, creating unique

designs, logos and artwork. And as Anne explained, when the business came up for sale, it was only natural that Amber should take over the reins. “With my financial backing, handyman skills from Amber’s dad Ernie and the support of family and friends, they have transformed the office space and added their own personal touches,” Anne said. “As a family, we brainstorm ideas for expansion of services, marketing and diversification. Even Amara, Josh’s 14 year old niece from New South Whales, is involved and is visiting for work experience over the school holidays.” Both families are so proud of what Josh and Amber have achieved so far and wish them every success in their venture and happiness in their life together “The shop looks fantastic. Loyal customers continue to support them and new clients present every day,” Anne said. “They focus on providing the best customer experience possible and their combined talents, commitment to detail, unique artwork, design and quality printing at a competitive price makes that possible.” PrintHut is located at 47 John Street in Pakenham.

last 12 months, why do it now? Lay down the law with family, so you don’t end up with tables full of relatives you’ve never even met! 7. Explore your network. Call on talented friends who can swap a service for a gift, such as a photographer, a hair stylist or make-up person. Maybe someone knows a band that can play at the reception? But make sure you hear their repertoire of music choices first! 8. Cut the ties. Times are changing and so are weddings. It’s ok to shed some traditions. Be practical about whether you need all the trimmings like a videographer, bonbonnieres, and gifts for parents or bridal party if you need to cut costs. 9. Be less formal and spend less. For example you could swap a formal sit down dinner for a cocktail party and save on room hire and catering costs or, if the venue allows it, organise the drinks yourself. 10. Pay attention to the fine print. Read your suppliers’ contracts, even if they are long and complicated. Don’t get caught out by any extra charges which are sometimes in the fine print. 11. Wishing well. If you’re already living together, chances are that you have most of what you need - a wishing well is a polite way of asking for money. You can then use this to pay for the honeymoon or pay off some of the wedding expenses. Source - www.cmaadvice.com.au

For some couples, the most expensive day of their life will be the one when they tie the knot, with around 35% of newlyweds blowing their wedding budget before they walk down the aisle. So if you’re planning for this special day in your life, you’ll need to work out how to finance it - without spending the rest of your married life paying for it. Here are 11 tips to ease the pressure on the wedding budget ... 1. Talk about money early with your partner and families (if they will be involved). Decide what you will be able to pay for and if your family can help with any expenses. Set a budget and stick to it. 2. Be prepared. Try to book your wedding venue, reception and honeymoon well in advance to avoid disappointment. 3. Start saving early. See MoneySmart’s wedding saving and budgeting to find out what costs you can expect to pay. 4. Grab a bargain. Search eBay or Gumtree or hunt down end-of- stock bargains, such as DIY wedding stationery. 5. Have an out-of- season wedding. Be different! Have a July wedding to cut costs without sacrificing your precious memories. Many venues and suppliers have lowerpriced deals during winter - pick a venue with a romantic fireplace. 6.

Jarod Mills is once again astounded by the wonderful response of the community. “As a developer of communities, it is important we give back to the members of the community who often get overlooked.

Merinda Park run machine Daniel McCalman plays the ball down the ground during their win over Clyde. 176849

Jayasekara’s knock By Nick Creely WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCIATION PREMIER DIVISION REVIEW - ROUND 11 Upper Beaconsfield captain Bathiya Perera is not at all surprised by star recruit Imesh Jayasekara’s stunning season, believing he is a ‘special talent’ that can help his side break into the finals this season. In the Maroons’ one day clash with Emerald at Chandler Reserve on Saturday, Jayasekara blasted an incredible 169; a knock including 17 fours and six sixes; as his side carved its way to a mind boggling 7/349 off 40 overs. It’s an innings that not only pushed Jayasekara to the top of the Premier Division run tally, but it also forced a re-shuffle of the record books. No player has made a higher score in Premier Division white ball cricket, and it’s now the tenth highest individual score overall. “He opened the batting, and got out in the 40th over; he started off well and just accelerated towards the end,” Perera said of Jayasekara’s knock. “It was an amazing innings to watch; he was 91 not out when I went into bat, and in the partnership I was so impressed with his ability to pick the right balls to hit, it was the difference. “He’s the highest run scorer in the competition now, and to be honest, in the first game against Pakenham, he just started so well; he’s scored runs against all the top sides, he does it against the best. “He’s got something special; being the person that got him to the club, I knew his capabilities. “Imesh is only 21, but he’s been someone who has scored big runs before, and someone who makes big scores when he gets going; it’s pleasing to see him do it in the middle.” Breathing down the neck of Cardinia in fourth position, Perera said if they can straighten out their bowling, they’re a threat no side wants to face. “We are one of the best batting sides in the competition; we have put on 175 plus and maybe 200 in the Twenty20’s, and made some big scores in the two day cricket, it’s our bowl26 STAR NEWS

ing which hasn’t been at the top,” he said. “I’m pleased with the batting form and the team at the moment. “We want to keep building our young talent, but we are two points behind Cardy sitting fifth, and if we can win all our games, we are every chance of grabbing fourth spot. “Unfortunately, the last two weeks haven’t helped us, as we planned to make some ground, but that’s how it goes. “We are hopeful of making finals and anything can happen.” Emerald put up a respectable showing in front of a large crowd celebrating the Bombers’ 125-year celebration, finishing on 9/227 after a solid half century to Trent Rolfs (67). Kooweerup also kept up its clinical form as it builds a solid line of form heading into finals, with Cardinia providing a late scare before the Demons steadied. There was plenty of feeling out in the middle between the two bitter rivals, with Demons skipper Mark Cooper sending Alex Nooy’s men to face the music. Jess Mathers (4/17) set the tone early to remove Ben Parrott (2), but by drinks, the Bulls steadied to be in a solid position for a competitive score. Nooy (72) played a lone hand in his side’s quest at a major scalp, playing a classy knock to help lift the Bulls to 165, a total Cooper was pleased to walk away with. The skipper himself struck 49; to take his tally to 433 at an average of 86.6; as the Demons walked away with a hard fought two wicket win, after some late wickets added a bit of drama. “This is the time of the year where we have to step it up a bit more and play with more intensity, so I thought we did that for the majority of the game, but it was positive signs,” he said. “Cardy are a competitive team and we needed to stand up. “At drinks they probably had the upper hand with only two wickets down, but once we took a few wickets and got the result of 165, we thought it was really gettable. “We weren’t in complete control with the bat, but probably had more control with the ball; we lost a few late wickets which probably

Kooweerup captain Mark Cooper has a word to Alex Nooy as tension rose between the two Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS rivals. 176845 evened it up in the end, but we felt we had enough wickets in the shed to get the result.” But in a tight win, Cooper saw a silver lining, with many of the club’s brightest young talents stepping up to the plate with the bat after being briefly threatened. “We had a good little partnership at the end with Lachie Ramage; who is 17; and Mitch Davey (16); and they went really well, and then Jack Bacon hit the winning runs, and he’s 17 as well,” he said. “From that perspective it’s a positive and we did mention that after the game, because in finals anything can happen.” With three games left to play before the finals get underway, Cooper said it’s now about his side playing with the intensity that makes the champion unit they are. “It’s now about finding form, and getting back to two day cricket is a big step in itself; we’ve had five one dayers in a row, and two day cricket feels like a long time ago,” he said. “We’re trying to flick that switch, and trying to get back into two day cricket, and set that standard heading towards finals.” In the rounds other two matches, Pakenham (218) inflicted Tooradin (200) with its first loss of the season, while an incredible 7/22 from Nick Sadler wasn’t enough for Clyde (9/152) to stave off an inspired Merinda Park (153) outfit.

Cranbourne happy at home CRANBOURNE BOWLS A full reversal of form gave Cranbourne Bowls' number 1 side full points at home against Berwick, which was a welcome relief for the club after last week's disappointment. Side 2 fell short by eight shots, while side 3 got up by four shots and side 4 won by 15 shots, which was a great result for the club. The ladies resumed play during the week and despite losing on two rinks continued on their winning ways with an eight-shot victory overall. Side 1 Division 2 Cranbourne played Berwick at home and crushed the opposition by an impressive 48 shots, with wins on all four rinks to gain maximum points and give the side every chance of playing finals at the end of the year. Terry Byrnes played his first game in the top side and made an immediate impression to help his rink to a 21-shot win. Gavin Wright was at his best and helped his rink win by 15 shots while Singles club champion Lynne Wood helped her team win with a three-shot pick up on the last end to give her team a one-shot win. John Stanley was steady as always and his team mates capitalised with an 11 shot win. All in all, it was a result which should signal to opposition teams that Cranbourne is back in business. Ladies Side 1 Division 1 Skip Yvonne Van Der Wees and her rink of Maureen Cameron, Helen Witherden, and Lynne Wood won by an amazing 25 shots, which was needed to defeat Edithvale by only eight shots with the other two rinks soundly defeated on the day against a very tough opposition. Side 2 Division 3 A competitive encounter with Glen Waverley resulted in a narrow eight-shot loss play-

Side 3 Division 5 An exciting four-shot win overall was sweet news to Skip Peter Colthup and his crew of Bob Pyne, David Brown and Ron Shields, who were the difference between the two sides with a very impressive 10-shot win on their rink. Side 4 Division 8 Both rinks had a great win at home with skip Rob Sorensen and his team winning by five shots and skip John Forsythe and his team winning by 10 shots.

Tennis causing a racket By Nick Creely Berwick and District Tennis Association (BDTA) president Rob Osborne has a simple message for kids looking to get involved in local sport, tennis is the answer. With the growth of tennis in the local area, the City of Casey are running a 'Tennis Week' from Sunday 28 January to Sunday 4 February, designed for local clubs to host their own activities, and therefore promote the game. Clubs such as Berwick, Devon Meadows, Narre Warren, Narre Warren South, Fountain Gate, Hampton Park, Clyde, Harkaway and Doveton will be putting on activities such as open days, free court hire and mums programs. Osborne said that it's an exciting event, and one that he hopes will draw juniors into an association that provides tennis for up to 700 kids a year. "There are a lot other events going on at clubs other than the open days, such as free coaching, pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

cardio tennis and some other social events," he said. "Tennis is a sport that you can play at any age; we get kids from about six or seven, and I only retired a few years ago in my mid-sixties, so it's a sport that you can play at any level, at any age, all you need is a court and a couple of players. While fitness, fun and social factors are arguably the most important aspect of local sport, Osborne said if you're good enough, you can make it far. "Occasionally, one of our junior players makes great strides into seniors - we've all heard of Destanee Aiava, she played her first season of competitive tennis at Fountain Gate," he said. "We've had a few players that have played at a high level in Tennis throughout Victoria, maybe not as high as her at international level, but it's still a great opportunity."
