Rail cash splash

A desperately needed duplication of the Cranbourne rail line is one step closer after the State Government announced its biggest rail corridor upgrade in the May State Budget.

Under a $572 million project, upgrades to tracks, stations, power and modern signalling will be delivered from the city to Cranbourne and Pakenham.

It will also pave the way for the planning of a Cranbourne line duplication.

Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan made the announcement on Friday 27 April, saying it was a “massive investment“ with more trains being able to run without clogging up the road network.

“We’re investing more than any govern-

ment in Victoria’s history to transform our public transport system and get passengers home safer and sooner,“ she said.

Together with the Metro Tunnel and new high capacity trains, the works will make room for an additional 234,000 peak passengers every week from Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury.

It comes after the State Government announced to set aside $3 million to buy land for a Cranbourne East Railway Station last December - although date has not been announced as to when this station will be built.

Shadow Minister for Public Transport Shadow David Davis said the State Government needed to provide more rail infrastructure to meet the growing population demand.

“Casey and Cardinia have every reason to

be angry. Daniel Andrews and his government have fallen short again not funding the infrastructure required to meet the burgeoning population,” he said.

“The congestion is growing and Daniel Andrews and his government have no idea how to deal with it other than cancelling a road (East West Link) at a cost of $1.3 billion.

Casey Resident and Ratepayers Association president Arvo Talvik welcomed the funding to upgrade the Cranbourne line but it fell short of extending the rail line to Clyde.

“If that’s all they’re doing then they’re severely letting down the Casey public,” he said.

“A one-track-solution would at least things moving and would keep cars away from Cranbourne station which is choc-a-block” Last week, the Victorian Greens unveiled

a $5 billion Melbourne Metro transport plan, calling for the Cranbourne line to be extended to Clyde to accommodate for a rapidly expanding South East.

The plan also involves duplicating the Cranbourne line and building a new station at Cranbourne East.

Victorian Greens MLC for the South Eastern Metropolitan region, Nina Springle said the Clyde rail extension was something that needed to happen by the next term of government.

“These communities are crying out for decent public transport they can rely on,“ she said.

“I hear from people in the South East on a daily basis about how urgently they need public transport.”

Help drive our tourism

GO TO STARCOMMUNITY.COM.AU FOR…

The Casey Cardinia region is on the cusp of an exciting new era in tourism according to Chris Buckingham, the man in charge of setting up a new Regional Tourism Board.

The board will consist of nine directors including industry experts, tourism operators and industry service providers and will be supported by both councils to ensure the sector’s growth and long-term sustainability.

Mr Buckingham, who is chair of the Casey Cardinia Tourism Advisory Committee, encouraged interested people to nominate for one of the nine board positions.

“We are looking for people who are passionate about the region and understand the value that visitors bring to the Casey Cardinia Region,“ Mr Buckingham said.

“The new entity is about giving the visitor industry a greater level of determination, while maintaining strong partnerships with councils.“ Mr Buckingham said tourism was one of the region’s most rapidly growing industries and was an important economic driver.

“We’ve got a rapidly growing local population who are looking for things to do in their own backyard. We have world class attractions like Puffing Billy, the Cranbourne Royal Botanic Gardens and Moonlit Sanctuary. These outstanding experiences draw local and international visitors alike.“ He said the new organisation would link all the visitor elements together to create a “strong, united, cohesive industry organisation“.

“Membership of the board will give you a seat at the table, making determinations about tourism in the region.“ Expressions of Interest close 21 May. Contact Frances Grigoriou, at f.grigoriou@casey. vic.gov.au or go to www.caseycardinia.com.au

The City of Casey has welcomed a budget announcement of $572 million to upgrade power and signals on the Cranbourne line, however it fell short of extending the rail line to Australia's fastest growing suburb.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett renewed calls for both sides of politics to extend and duplicate the rail line to Clyde.

"Casey's roads are used by more cars than was ever intended, while investment in public transport has been slashed - making Casey one of Victoria's most poorly transport serviced municipalities," he said.

"Casey residents deserve their fair share of road and rail funding from the State Government to stop their dream becoming a nightmare."

Already Melbourne's most populous municipality, the City of Casey is on track to hit half a million residents in less than 20 years, the current population of Tasmania.

Cr Ablett said the reason Australians were flocking to Cranbourne East was the appeal of owning a home and raising a family.

"We are pleased that the Victorian Government is responding to our rapid population growth with new investments, but the reality is it is nowhere near the funding required to address Casey's backlog in transport infrastructure funding," he said.

Clyde mother of five Kylie Williams said doing things that residents of more established suburbs take for granted, was becoming increasingly tough.

"Just doing simple things, like driving the kids to school takes so much longer than it should. We couldn't survive without the car, but unlike other suburbs closer to the city, we have no other option," Ms Williams said.

New Clyde resident Isabelle Fredericks said it was time both sides of politics put their hands in their pockets and provided residents of the outer southeast with their fair share of transport infrastructure.

"Every day we slug it out on the roads because we have no other choice," she said.

"Even on a good day it takes at least an hour and half to get into town; a rail line to Clyde is the least we deserve," she said.

Scientists have found Bandicoots at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne.

Bandicoots thriving in South East Endangered bandicoots are thriving in parts of Melbourne's fringe, with numbers of the marsupial also found in Cranbourne.

That's according to a surprising new study from Deakin University, recently published in the Biological Conservation journal.

Scientists from Deakin's Centre for Integrative Ecology set up traps to monitor numbers of southern brown bandicoots in parts of residential and farm land between Koo Wee Rup and Bunyip, south-east of Melbourne.

Lead researcher Sarah Maclagan, a Deakin School of Life and Environmental Sciences PhD candidate, said the area had once been the largest swamp in Victoria, before being drained to form agricultural land in the 1870s.

"There's only about five per cent of the natural vegetation left, and most of this is concentrated in narrow linear strips along drainage

channels, roads and railway lines," Ms Maclagan said.

"They're also full of weeds, but these strips seem to be really important habitat for bandicoots."

Ms Maclagan said she was amazed to find a higher density of bandicoots within these small areas than in protected native habitat in the nearby Royal Botanic Gardens at Cranbourne and on Quail Island Nature Conservation Reserve.

"We also looked at the body condition of the 'urban' animals and found that this was the same as those captured in the reserves," she said.

"Their breeding rate was steady too, and two thirds of the animals could be classified as 'residents' of the novel sites, meaning they were observed there across multiple seasons

SERVICE QUALITY ADVICE

and weren't just passing through.

"So it's a weird situation where you've got weed infested roadsides harbouring an endangered mammal."

Ms Maclagan said new food sources were available in residential areas.

"I've spoken to lots of local landholders who have bandicoots regularly coming to eat food intended for pets or domestic animals (like pigs and chickens). They're very opportunistic eaters."

The Deakin study showed novel habitats could sometimes provide valuable conservation opportunities for certain species, she added.

"We should take advantage of these opportunities whenever they arise, and not just assume that wildlife can't do well in habitats altered by humans."

By Brendan Rees Passengers travelling from Cranbourne to Carrum Downs will have an easier journey with a new bus route to be rolled out.

The Victorian Budget 2018/19 will fund a new bus route from Cranbourne to Carrum Downs, stopping at Seaford Station, to better connect residents in Melbourne's South East to schools, train stations and shops.

The State Government will now consult with the local community on the best route for the new bus.

Member for Carrum Sonya Kilkenny said she had heard "loud and clear" from the community that a better connection was needed between Seaford and Cranbourne.

"We'll consult with the local community on the exact route, and deliver a service that works for passengers - connecting them to schools, health services and train stations," she said.

Labor Candidate for Cranbourne Pauline Richards said the new service would meet the needs of the growing Cranbourne community.

"It's important that people have better ways to link up with public transport and get around their local areas," she said.

Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera said the new service would build on the major improvements to Cranbourne's bus network "with new and improved routes, more frequent services and shorter waits."

Shadow Minister for Public Transport David Davis said the South-East community had been treated like "second-class citizens" for too long

by Andrews Labor Government.

"The belated catch-up decision on bus funding follows long-term community pressure," he said.

Victorian Greens MLC for the South Eastern Metropolitan region, Nina Springle said she welcomed the announcement but more planning had to be done for public transport services.

"The reality is that the Victorian Government needs to be properly planning for growth to ensure that people can get where they need to go, when they need to get there," she said.

Lynbrook Residents Association committee member Paul Graham said he was disappointed Lynbrook residents had still been left stranded since in November 2016 when the 893 bus service was cut to Cranbourne.

"Instead Public Transport Victoria put a single token stop on Lynbrook Blvd on the eastern side of the South Gippsland Highway," he said.

He said this was huge safety risk to the public as people had to cross "an extremely busy and dangerous South Gippsland Highway at peak times."

"There have been fatalities of two children there already," he said.

Casey Resident and Ratepayers Association president Arvo Talvik said more buses, particularly a Berwick bus, should run from the Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre/Lyall Street bus stop.

"I don't know what the justification is for a bus route from Cranbourne to Carrum Downs," he said.

"I'm not against it. The better connectivity's we can have, terrific.

"It's people in ivory towers that make decisions; they have no knowledge of how it works and what benefit it'll be or won't be to the public."

You might avoid going to the doctor or the dentist because you don't want to spend the money. However, these regular checkups have an important purpose; they're designed to catch harmful conditions and potential problems early, which means you'll not only have a better chance of dealing with them easily, you'll spend less to treat them.

Buying a new car would cost you a lot of money, so you might as well drive your old junker around for as long as possible, right? In actuality, driving an old car could end up costing you upwards of $1,000 a year in additional expenses, such as repairs, safety improvements, and insurance--not to mention the extra environmental impact you'll make in the process. Even if it costs a few thousand dollars upfront, it's often better to invest in a decent-quality, relatively recently manufactured vehicle.

Manor sets record

By Brendan Rees A former country manor in Cranbourne North has sold for $2.35 million, setting an all-time high for residential properties in the area.

The property, set on 3200 square metres of park-like grounds - known as Tulliallan - at 160 Wheelers Park Drive, was snapped up by a Narre Warren family at an auction held on Saturday, 28 April.

“It was an extremely well attended auction; there was a sea of people” First National Neilson Partners Berwick selling agent Peter Watson said.

The six-bedroom home, featuring Mt Gambier limestone construction, three metre ceilings and entertainment areas was expected to sell between $1.8 million to $1.98 million, Mr Watson said.

“It sold above expectation. Two bidders decided they both wanted it and took a bit for one to shake the other off,” he said.

“It’s probably set a new bench mark for a residential holding in Cranbourne North for some time to come.

“It’s a lovely property and a local family has decided to call it home,” he said.

Mr Watson said the property’s former owners, Peter White and his wife Lyndy, planned to donate all proceeds from the sale to the family’s charitable foundation to assist the lives of people disadvantaged through personal, social or cultural circumstances.

The home was designed by Nicholas Day and has five bathrooms, a formal lounge with a superb marble open fire, with an adjoining banquet sized dining room, sauna, rooftop deck and a paved forecourt.

A casual family room fitted with bespoke cabinetry as well as a billiard/games room are also among its features.

The home also enjoys wonderful northerly aspect towards the Dandenong Ranges.

Police crew targets thefts

A new police crew has been set up to crack down on thieves stealing from cars in Casey.

The crew, which is made up of six members from across Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong, will ramp up patrols to drive down the number of theft from motor vehicle offences.

Senior Constable Alison Johnson said there had been a worrying trend of offenders breaking into cars and taking items to commit other crimes.

"The number of obtain property be deceptions has increased in the area so people stealing wallets and cards from vehicles and then going to use them to purchase items using PayPass," she said.

Stolen cards were being used in illegal shopping sprees, particularly at Westfield Fountain Gate Shopping Centre and also service stations in Casey, Sen Const Johnson said.

The crew started on 16 April and will be trialled for three months. If successful, Sen Const Johnson says the initiative will continue.

An 18-year-old Doveton man was arrested on 20 April - within a week of the crew starting.

It's believed the man was allegedly involved in stealing a vehicle in February last year, as well as a theft of petrol, a burglary and theft in Lyndhurst, theft of number plates and obtaining property by deception.

Sen Const Johnson said the man was identified in CCTV footage where it's alleged he was involved in a petrol drive-off and deception offences at Coles Express in Lynbrook early last year.

The man will face court at a later date.

Sen Const Johnson warned drivers not to leave valuables in their vehicles and to always ensure their car was locked when unattended to prevent thefts.

David W Bull Funeral Directors Provide understanding care and personal service.

Australian owned family business since 1979.

In response to the article “Safe Schools slammed” by Brendan Rees, may I begin by thanking the wonderful council for holding this event. Thankyou Casey Council for bringing some of this disturbing material to the attention of parents.

I was interested to read the comments of the anonymous teacher, who found the forum “very one-sided”. I actually had quite a lengthy conversation with this young teacher after her chat with your journalist.

Among her several disturbing remarks, which undermined parental authority, probably the worst was her answer to my question regarding 13-year-old boys being required to create detailed models of female genitals using modelling clay.

She didn’t deny that this happened but said that “kids are curious” and “this is better than having boys go up to girls and asking them what their vagina looks like”. I was flabbergasted.

Surely any boy who makes such a remark in her “friendly open school” needs to be severely reprimanded and disciplined, as this is a highly abusive comment. Such a boy needs to be taught about manners and respect - not given modelling clay and asked to create what amounts to porn!

We must scrap this program! We must get rid of this awful State Government, who continue to fund this filth when it has been scrapped in other states. Parents be vigilant!

L. Grace, Berwick.

Well our cat escaped through our shed and it was our own fault.

of the owners privately and if you’ve seen a pet the person could call the paper or the paper could say where the animals have been taken to. Or if a person has taken care of said pet, they could call the paper and get the owners phone details.

Horse pledge

By Garry Howe Cranbourne’s massive horse racing fraternity will score a state-of-the-art equine hospital if the Liberal National Coalition wins government in November.

Leader Matthew Guy and Shadow Racing Minister Tim Bull visited the proposed site at the Cranbourne Training Complex on Thursday 26 April, with Liberal candidate for Cranbourne Ann-Marie Hermans, to announce a $1.5 million funding pledge for the project.

Mr Guy said the new hospital would cement Cranbourne’s position as a leader in thoroughbred racing while also providing the industry with access to breakthrough technology transforming equine medicine.

He said the project would fill a long-standing void for the racing industry locally.

Cranbourne is home to Victoria and Australia’s largest thoroughbred training centre, with 140 licensed trainers and 1400 horses training there. However, horses requiring scanning must still endure an unacceptable three-hour float ride to Werribee or Ballarat to access that technology.

“The fact that they don’t have an equine medical facility beggars belief,” Mr Bull said.

“The scanning technology to be made available at Cranbourne will not only allow for significant medical insight and research, but will also cut the need for three-hour float rides to Werribee or Ballarat. It will also service Mornington and Gippsland trainers.”

New scanning technology will transform treatment of a range of common but difficultto-diagnose equine health issues, including lower respiratory tract diseases, viral and bacterial infections, and exercise pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH).

Private sector leaders in medical technology have already expressed interest in partnering with the racing industry and Liberal Na-

The Liberal Nationals’ $1.5 million funding contribution will be matched by industry funds to provide the balance of the $3 million cost of establishing the hospital.

Cranbourne Turf Club chairman Geoff Whiffen said a vet centre was part of original plans when the training centre was established back in 1990.

“This has been a long time coming and is an absolute must for our industry and crucial for horse welfare,” he said.

“We need to do this, particularly given the number of horses in this area. The club is excited with its plan for the future and this project is a big part of that.”

Robbie Griffiths, a leading Cranbourne trainer and president of the Australian Trainers Association, welcomed the announcement.

“It is an absolute must and long overdue,” he said. “It will be great for everyone involved.”

Cash for grassroots sports

By Brendan Rees Nearly $11,000 in grants will be shared by five of City of Casey’s grassroots sporting clubs, the State Government has announced.

Minister for Sport John Eren joined Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera and AFLW Melbourne Demons players at Casey Fields on Thursday, 26 April in announcing funding for the clubs through the Government’s Sporting Club Grants Program.

Clubs include Devon Meadows Junior Football Club ($2,000) for coach training, Casey Comets Soccer Club ($1000) for new uniforms, Cranbourne Bowling Club ($1,000) for new uniforms plus a further $5,000 to redevelop the club’s website, South Sudan Equatorians Association for new soccer uniforms ($1,000) and Cranbourne Southern Stars Sports Club for new netball uniforms ($990).

Mr Eren also officially announced a $5 million investment to upgrade facilities to better support AFLW at Casey’s premier sporting precinct.

Grassroots competitions in the south east were experiencing booming female numbers, he said.

“Whether it’s a new uniform or bringing more footy to Casey Fields, we’re giving grassroots clubs in Casey the support they need to grow their ranks and help more locals than ever play the sports they love.”

Treasurer of the Cranbourne Southern Stars Sports Club Dell Johnson said the grant was a huge relief which would go towards new equipment and uniforms.

“Uniforms are a huge expense. We can provide training venues that aren’t at the cost of the kids, so we can get a lot more people to participate in the sport,” she said.

Cranbourne Liberal candidate Ann-Marie Hermans said the Liberal Nationals would focus on grassroots and community sport, while Daniel Andrews chases an invitation to the Brownlow with a $225 million taxpayer-funded deal with the AFL on Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett and Councillors Amanda Stapledon and Rex Flannery joined Minister for Sport the Hon John Eren MP, Melbourne Football Club CEO Peter Jackson, General Manager Football Operations Josh Mahoney, AFLW players Katherine Smith and Bianca Jakobsson, State Member for Narre Warren South Judith Graley, State Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera and Labor candidate for Cranbourne Pauline Richards at Casey Fields to celebrate the $5m funding announcement to improve facilities for AFLW. Picture: CITY OF CASEY “It beggars belief that the Labor party think giving a $225 million free kick to the AFL is fair when local sporting clubs in Cranbourne are struggling for basic facilities,” she said.

Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley said the funding would keep local sports clubs as strong as possible.

“Supporting grassroots sports and especially engaging young women is just so important and this announcement provides the funding to make dreams happen,” she said.

Also at the announcement was City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett who welcomed the funding.

“Through our partnership with Melbourne Football Club, we’re working closely together to increase participation and provide pathways from grassroots to elite levels for local women and girls,” he said.

IN BRIEF Woman arrested over burglaries

Miss Australia steps down

A 30-year-old Cranbourne North woman is in police custody following an alleged kidnapping and a series of burglaries in the Casey region.

The woman was arrested in the vicinity of Dartmoor Drive in Cranbourne East on Tuesday 17 April at 4am as part of an ongoing investigation of the Casey Crime Investigation Unit.

Senior Constable Alison Johnson said the woman was located by police in a stolen Jeep Cherokee, which also had stolen number plates.

She said said the woman was alleged to have been involved in kidnapping a 36-year-old man from Cranbourne on 21 March.

She was charged with 32 offences including kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, aggravated burglary, burglary, theft, theft of motor vehicle, theft from motor vehicle and criminal damage.

Some of the stolen cars included a late model Mercedes and 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander, Sen Const Johnson said.

She said it was a great outcome as all units with a number of police units assisting in the investigation.

The woman was remanded to appear at the County Court on 11 July.

By Brendan Rees Cranbourne North's Catherine Ayad has made of the hardest decisions of her life - to step down from her title as Miss Australia International for 2018. The 24 year-old was crowned this year's pageant winner in February which recognised gifted women from across the country. But in a surprise announcement last week, Ms Ayad said she was already "Living the life I have always wanted to without any crown or sash."

"I entered into this beauty pageant to use this as a platform to fulfil my purpose on a global scale to empower and inspire others to maximize their individuality and reach their full potential regardless of their circumstances," she said.

Ms Ayad, who is passionate about empowering women experiencing adversity, added: "If my goal is to empower and inspire others then I am already doing just that, right now."

"This whole experience has been phenomenal, with ups and downs, like everything. I have grown as a person and I am forever thankful for everything that has happened so far."

She recalled sharing one of the most touching moments with a girl who looked up to her which she says she will carry in her heart forever.

"I will never ever forget that little girl who said 'I want to be a princess just like you.' I said to her: 'You already are a princess your crown is just invisible'. She stood up a little taller and had the biggest smile on her face when she hugged me."

Ms Ayad apologised to anyone she may have disappointed but felt relieved with her final decision.

"In my heart I am staying true to myself. I will continue to be me but reflect Christ as best I can."

Police appeal to help find stolen car

Catherine Ayad, of Cranbourne North has decided to stand from her title as Miss Australia Picture: GARY SISSONS International 2018. 178240

Casey Crime Investigation Unit is appealing to the public to help to find a stolen luxury car.

The vehicle, a 2013 Audi A4 grey sedan, bearing Victorian registration 1AA5HD, was allegedly stolen from a locked garage in Cranbourne East during the early hours of Friday 20 April.

Senior Constable Alison Johnson of the Casey Crime Investigation Unit said intruders jemmied open the back door of the garage before entering the house via an internal door and taking the keys to the vehicle.

"They tried to get in by the laundry sliding door but were unsuccessful," she said.

"It (the vehicle) was sighted in Narre Warren South later that day."

Anyone with information are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au.

For the second year in a row, Star News Group is holding workshops in the City of Casey, Cardinia Shire and the City of Greater Dandenong.

The workshops are hands-on, interactive planning sessions designed for small to medium business owners to review and improve their sales and marketing strategies.

“Too many small businesses are lacking sales because their marketing is stuck in the past,“ he said.

Mr Morgan encouraged business owners to take an hour out of their day to attend one of the workshops - to work on their business, not in it, and walk away with tactics to improve profitability.

Rhea cut her long hair for charity after watching a moving video.

Girl cuts hair Active step for healthier life for charity Students and staff of St Peter's College's East Campus step up with their fitness training during Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS April. 179904

By Brendan Rees Students of St Peter’s College’s East and West Campuses have been putting their best foot forward since the launch of the Premier’s Active April initiative.

The Cranbourne East and West Campuses are among the top 20 in the state for registered participants in the month-long challenge.

Active April encourages people of all ages and fitness levels to commit to 30 minutes of physical activity a day to improve their health and wellbeing.

St Peter’s College’s East Campus health and physical education teacher Sarah Slykerman said students had embraced the initiative.

“Each day before school, at recess, lunch

and after school activities have been run at both the East and West Campus to promote students being physically active together as a community,” she said.

From yoga to egg and spoon race, tennis and basketball, Ms Slykerman said there was an activity to suit all students.

After school activities included gardening, roller-skating and trampolining.

Ms Slykerman said the school was on track to surpass their record of 2000 hours of physical activity set last year.

“With plenty of activities planned for the final count down, we are sure to smash the 2017 total and set a new record and pace for being active during April at St Peter’s College.”

By Brendan Rees Clyde North's Hillcrest Christian College Rhea Singh has made a big sacrifice by donating her long locks to charity.

The Year 7 student shed 36cm of her healthy hair which will be sent to Hair with Heart, a campaign managed by Variety.

After watching a very moving video of a young woman affected by cancer and chemotherapy, Rhea Singh knew she had to help others.

The video showed just how much a seemingly small gesture, receiving a wig, could change a woman's life.

With some encouragement and support

from her mum and big sister, Rhea gave her long hair the chop during the recent school holidays.

"It was a big change, but my hair will grow back" said Rhea. "It feels good to know that someone's life can be changed with my hair."

Her hair will be made into a wig for children who have lost theirs due to medial conditions.

A hairdresser at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre tied Rhea's hair back into five pony tails before they were cut off. It was then washed and dried and made into one large pony tail.

Rhea's Pastoral teacher Germaine Moser said: "I am happy for Rhea; this precious donation will put a smile on someone else's face."

Field turns red as college honours the Anzac spirit

By Brendan Rees Classes at Cranbourne’s St Peter’s College were suspended to allow staff and students to pay their respects to Australia’s fallen heroes before Anzac Day. The school’s east and west campuses held outdoor services on Tuesday 24 April where students spoke about the birth of the ANZAC legend, and what it has come to mean to all Australians.

The East Campus students had amassed a field of poppies which was positioned on a mound depicting no man’s land between the speakers and bugler and gathered students and staff.

A guest bugler played The Last Post before everyone stood for a minutes’ silence.The services continued where flags where raised to full mast, before a rendition of the National Anthem was played.

“At the West Campus senior students put together a presentation that was shown to all students at the beginning of the day, telling our Anzac story in a few words and moving pictures,” said St Peter’s College spokeswoman April Hampson.

Students at the West Camus prepared morning tea, consisting of Anzac biscuits and drop scones for their guests from a local aged care facility.

“Students had spent some time previously hearing about the residents’ memories of all wars since the ANZAC spirit was born,” Ms Hampson said.

Growing the great ideas Following the success of last year’s event, Lynbrook Village Shopping Centre will once again host “Grow Your Ideas” art competition for teens.

Students from Lyndhurst Secondary College were invited to submit an A3 piece of art themed “Culture, Incorporating Peace, Community and the Environment”.

The purpose of the art competition is to increase the exchange of art and culture in the community and to encourage young Lyndhurst Secondary College students in creating art and developing their individual creativity.

Marketing manager at Lynbrook Village Shopping Centre Melanie Brown said the competition is all about building strong ties locally.

“Part of becoming a community-minded citizen is being conscious of the area in which we trade; these are our people and we want to support them,” Ms Brown said.

Lynbrook Village provided $1,000 worth of art suppliers to assist the students and 59 amazing pieces of student art were submitted.

28 final pieces have been reproduced as large format form board and are now on display in the Centres main foyer for public exhibition until the end of May. The 28 Finalists will be invited to a presentation lunch at Suburban Burger where the prizes will be awarded to the top three plus prize for a People’s Choice Award. The overall

FOCUS ON … MOTHER'S DAY

Indie is the big bird’s baby

By Melissa Grant If you ask Indie Denney where she was born, the three-year-old will smile and reply “outside the big bird”.

The ‘big bird’ she’s referring to is the famous 25-metre high golden pheasant at the front of Gumbuya World.

The Pakenham girl was delivered in an ambulance parked outside the theme park on May 16, 2014 in what was a super quick labour for mum Belinda.

“It was the only spot on the side of the highway they thought was safe to pull over,” Belinda recalled.

“She was delivered within seconds of them parking here.”

The entire labour was four hours from start to finish, and initially Belinda and husband Tom thought they would be welcoming their second born into the world at their Cardinia Lakes home.

“Tom was prepping for delivery on our bed,” Belinda said.

“He was on the phone with the ambulance and they were coaching him through. When the paramedics arrived you could see the relief on his face.”

Fortunately, the paramedics arrived within five minutes and Belinda somehow managed to make it into the back of the ambulance.

The sirens had been blaring as the ambulance headed down the Princes Highway towards Warragul Hospital when Belinda had a sudden urge to push.

“I definitely did not think I’d deliver a baby outside Gumbuya Park. You deliver a baby at a hospital not in transit,” Belinda said with a laugh.

Indianna Belle Denney arrived a day before her due date, weighing 10 pounds.

Belinda Denney and Indie posed for a photo near the 'big bird' days after the birth in 2014.

Belinda and Tom Denney with daughter Indie inside the ambulance.

There were tears of joy, including from the paramedics who had just delivered their first baby.

Belinda, Tom and Indie returned to the ‘big bird’ on the way home from hospital for a reenactment photo. That was the last time the Denney family have been anywhere near the theme park, although they are keen to return to see the refurbished attraction and potentially take Indie there for her fourth birthday.

“I’d love to go to the park to see what they’ve done to the place - I’ve heard amazing things,” Belinda said.

FOCUS ON … MOTHER'S DAY

Write a love letter to mum

Give a card for cancer Krystel’s mum Karen has always been her pillar of strength, her confidant and her greatest fan. So when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Krystel said it was a moment when the ‘tables turned’ and she needed to be there for her mum.

“For a lady who was the strongest woman I’ve ever met, seeing her on the lounge after her first chemotherapy was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to face,” Krystel said.

“She was so physically unwell that it broke down not only her strong motherly presence but her entire character. I was upset for her, for my sisters and for my stepfather who had absolutely no idea how to make it better.”

Diagnosed at just 48, Karen had no family history of breast cancer and her diagnosis was a shock for the entire family.

Today, following treatment, she is well and enjoying life with her children and grandchildren.

“We know the treatments mum received and benefitted from are thanks to breast cancer clinical trials research,” Krystel said.

“Mum and I also know there are many other women, other mums perhaps, who need our help because better treatment options for their type of breast cancer have not yet been discovered.”

Krystel and Karen are sharing their story to support the annual Mother’s Day Research Appeal conducted by Breast Cancer

Choose a card in time for Mother’s Day. Trials. They’re encouraging people to donate to Breast Cancer Trials as their Mother’s Day gift for their mum. Supporters can choose a beautiful Mother’s Day card to give their mum which acknowledges their special gift.

“Mum says her family are her life – she loves her children and grandchildren so much and was just glad it was her and not them dealing with this horrible disease,” said Krystel.

“It’s another example of mum’s selflessness, a trait of mothers everywhere, that she feels this way. But the reality is – it could be me, or one of my sisters, or our children one day.

That’s why research is so important.”

Visit breastcancertrials.org.au or call 1800 423 444 to make a donation and choose a card in time for Mother’s Day.

A survey of 1600 mums by Pilot Pen Australia revealed 68 per cent much prefer a handwritten card or letter than an email, online message or text on Mother’s Day. “Taking the time to purchase a store bought card and writing a personalised message by hand may be quite a novel idea for many in an age where electronic messaging by email or text reigns, yet it is a great way to show mum how much you care on her special day,” says Sophia Le, handwriting expert and ambassador for Pilot Pen Australia.

Sophia said that just like mindfulness colouring in, handwriting is becoming popular but for many picking up a pen these days, the over-reliance on the keyboard has led to a loss of handwriting skills and technique.

“So many people tell me they have lost their strength and their letter formation is weak, leaving their handwriting looking scruffy. My message is to keep trying, as practise makes perfect,” she said.

Here are Sophia’s top tips for penning the perfect Mother’s Day card: 1. Choose the right pen for the job – have you ever picked up a pen and the nib just isn’t right for your handwriting style, or the ink flow hinders the way your writing looks on the page?

Make sure you pick the right pen to suit you. A fountain pen can really give a lovely polished look on the page – you don’t need to spend a fortune on a good quality fountain pen. Have a play with the pens in the shop to see what suits you when you buy your Mother’s Day card to save time.

2. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake – being out of practice can lead to a higher number of handwriting mistakes which can put many people off before they try. Decide what you are going to write then practise on a piece of paper first. Once you are happy with how it looks then go to your greeting card. Another option is to opt for a pen with erasable ink such as Pilot Pen’s Frixion. It features a built-in eraser so you can rub out mistakes and it leaves no trace

Make mum a personalised card for Mother's Day. on the page – a great piece-of-mind option that many people love.

3. Go slow - when I watch people pick up a pen and write down a card or a message, I often see them rushing - almost like getting through a chore. Possibly this is because we are so used to forming words on a keyboard quickly, we expect to write by hand at the same pace. We also live in a busy world where communication has speeded up. Handwriting nicely does take time and that is part of its pleasure. Make a cup of tea, sit down, take a big deep breath and make a commitment to taking your time.

Enjoy seeing the words form carefully on the page and then, when you are finished, take the time to look at the work you have created.

Handwriting is very calming and peaceful, it can keep you right in the moment, so make the most of it before you get back to your busy life!

4. Express yourself – research shows that when you write by hand, it can be easier to connect with your inner most feelings than when you type. Perhaps because it does take a little bit more time, we’re not just tapping away on a keyboard, but we are choosing to connect with our inner selves. Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to share your feelings with your mum – tell her how much you love her, appreciate her, miss her – whatever your message of love is – she will love it and I am sure, cherish it forever.

Call for more space

By Brendan Rees A Cranbourne North learning centre which helps provide pathways for people to pursue their career dreams could be on its way to receiving a much-needed portable space.

Casey councillors voted to consider the inclusion of one portable building in the 2018/19 Budget to provide additional community space at the Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre (MPLCC) during their council meeting on 3 April.

City of Casey Deputy Mayor Amanda Stapledon said classrooms were at the point of overflowing with students at the centre.

"We need to provide a workaround until such time as we can develop a master plan on how to extend/rebuild the centre to accommodate for the extraordinary growth that it is trying to accommodate," she said.

A decision to either rebuild or extend the centre will be made in the next year, Cr Stapledon said.

Cr Stapledon said MPLCC offered to manage the project which "could prove to save significant costs to the rate payer."

Two portable buildings were currently in place at the centre for VCAL Students and were delivering significant outcomes for youth who are not fitting into the mainstream education system, she said.

"The programs are leading to reengaging students with their school and leading to employment.

"They are very creative and offer so many varied courses, services and programs that help engage a community," Cr Stapledon said.

Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre chief executive Jan Gilchrist said the proposed portable community centre would be a welcomed relief.

Victim turns pest driver

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Casey Council Deputy Mayor Amanda Stapledon with members of the Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre. 180079 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS "Our rooms are over flowing. We don't have spare rooms basically any day of the week," she said.

"We running additional classes and we're just finding we have to juggle to try and fit in

what we need to fit in.

"We can't thank the council enough for the provision of this. We're certainly at the moment not in a position to be able to fund another one."

A Cranbourne East man has been jailed for repeated disqualified driving - and continues to be scarred by a horrific crime in his teens, a court heard.

The 42-year-old man, who had a "very significant" criminal history, including stints in jail, was caught twice illegally behind the wheel in June and September, Dandenong Magistrates' Court heard on 30 April.

On the second occasion, there was methamphetamine detected in his system. His vehicle was impounded at a cost of $1005.

At the time he was serving two corrections orders including drug and mental health treatment. It was nearly the 30th time he had driven a car while disqualified or suspended.

A defence lawyer conceded that the man - an on-and-off user for 15 years - had ongoing issues with 'ice' but had made "significant steps" to treating his post-traumatic stress.

As a teenager, the man had witnessed his mother's killing and was brutally attacked during the same incident.

The accused offender was however acquitted of murder, and jailed for the then-teenager's attempted murder. It was an outcome that the traumatised man still struggled to reconcile. He still held anger and resentment, the lawyer said.

He had recently been diagnosed with epilepsy and a "shadowing" around the heart linked to his years of drug abuse.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he was not surprised the man had been impacted by the dark events in his youth.

The man was jailed for six months and disqualified from driving for 12 months. He was also jailed concurrently for breaching a corrections order and re-sentenced for trafficking ice and three other disqualified driving offences.

This is what a proposed boutique stadium could look like in the heart of Greater Dandenong. 180261

Grand plans for stadium

By Nick Creely A world class sport and entertainment venue right in the heart of Greater Dandenong?

That’s the plan if Melbourne’s south-east becomes home to an A-League and W-League club, in what could become one of the great drawcards the region has ever seen.

The prime location of Cheltenham Road, next to Dandenong Train Station, has been confirmed as the site of Team 11’s proposed stadium build, with the world class concept designed by Cox Architecture (designers of Melbourne’s AAMI Park).

It has been initially slated that the capacity would be in the range of 12,000-15,000, with the ability to expand to 20,000 in the future.

The stadium site is less than 100 metre walk from one of Victoria’s busiest train and bus stations and within five kilometres of the Monash Freeway and Eastlink.

The Journal understands that the stadium could cost up to $170 million, but Team 11 are believed to be working on staging options, which could see the stadium built over time, therefore potentially reducing the initial cost to under $100 million.

It is also understood that is likely to be a two-year build period, so it is unlikely it would be up and running until at least the start of the 2020-21 season.

The announcement of the stadium concept is the next major step in the Team11 bid after the Football Federation Australia (FFA) recently announced its expansion plans.

Inside the proposed stadium.

The A-League currently has 10 teams contesting, and will bring in a further two for the 2019-20 season, with the early indication being that one of those slots could be given to a new Sydney based team.

Dandenong-born Simon McKeon, chair of the South East Melbourne group of councils, said south-east Melbourne is crying out for a professional sporting club to train and play here.

“There are more than 1.2 million living people in south-east Melbourne and families would love the opportunity to come together with the wider community to support a team they can identify strongly with and watch play at a purpose-built stadium,” McKeon said.

In fact, there are 89 clubs based in the south-east Melbourne region and over 12,000 registered players currently playing the sport.

Adding to that, three semi-professional clubs in NPL Victoria in the region - Dandenong Thunder, Dandenong City and Springvale White Eagles - are fully behind the bid, and have become actively involved in the discussions.

McKeon said the region provides a large, ready-made army of diverse, enthusiastic supporters who already love the world game.

“It’s a no-brainer,” McKeon said. “The beautiful game would find a perfect home among a massive group of professional supporters at an easily accessible location next to Dandenong Train Station.”

Various funding options for the stadium build are being explored, with Development Victoria, Ernst and Young, Cox Architecture and Greater Dandenong Council working together on development plans for the site.

The stadium build - as well as a proposed Casey Fields Centre of Excellence, where the team’s training and administration facilities would be based - is predicated on Team 11 being admitted into the A-League.

Socceroos legend and Team 11 ambassador Vince Grella said the new club would be playing at a football-specific venue with an intimacy that would rival all others in the country.

“Football fans in Australia have been crying out for boutique venues in which to house our clubs. Dandenong Stadium is perfect,” Grella said.

“There are more people playing football than any other sport in this country.

“Not only will Team 11 be able to enjoy this facility, but the potential for Socceroos, Matildas and youth internationals to be played here is very real, as well as local club games and regional gala events and tournaments.”

The land proposed for the stadium is owned by the City of Greater Dandenong.

Greater Dandenong Councillor and Team 11 steering committee member Jim Memeti said the unveiling of stadium plans demonstrates the seriousness of the region’s bid, spearheaded by the Greater Dandenong, City of Casey and Cardinia Shire councils.

“With Greater Dandenong being the most multicultural municipality in Australia, football is the No.1 sport of choice for our residents and so it is fitting that a rectangular venue would sit pride of place in the heart of our Central Business District,” Cr Memeti said.

Weekend brings a mixed bag for the Cavaliers

By Hayley Wildes In Round 6 Big V action, the Casey Cavaliers went 2-2 in a tough weekend for the State Championship Men and Division 1 Women.

The State Championship Men battled valiantly against the top-placed Ringwood Hawks, but were unable to stay with them in the second half.

The Cavs certainly came to play and were leading at half time, but the Hawks were able to claw their way back and record a 100-94 win. Raheem Lemons (23 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists) came close to a triple-double and was a force all game.

Matt Donlan (23 points) was electric as he drained 4/5 from beyond the arc, whilst Ben Louis (11 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 32 STAR NEWS

2 blocks), as he so often does, did a bit of everything.

The Division 1 Women fell short against the Mildura Heat at home on Sunday afternoon, 71-79.

Tanarly Hood (24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals) continued her dominant form, but her 7 turnovers proved costly. Rebecca Borham was impressive on both ends of the court as she hustled for loose balls and played some great defence.

Alexis Gassion (28 points, 19 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists) was simply sublime for the Heat and her willingness to push the tempo caught the Lady Cavs out on many occasions.

Unfortunately, Casey's inability to execute down the stretch staved off any chances of a

comeback in the dying minutes of the game.

The Youth League 1 Men had their hands full on defence with Ballarat's Zach Dunmore (37 points, 10 rebounds) putting on a show, but a team effort got the Cavs home quite comprehensively against the Miners.

Mitchell Gooiker (21 points, 16 rebounds) was unstoppable, whilst Brendon Head (25 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists) and Luke Beard (16 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists) helped power the Cavs to a 96-77 win.

The Youth League 2 Women remain undefeated and on top of the ladder after disposing of the Western Port Steelers, 68-53, at home on Sunday.

Tess Young continues to prove her worth week in, week out and against the Steelers, she

once again took control of the game with 12 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals.

As Young dominated on both ends of the court, Lauren Tuplin (19 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals) and Stephanie Leclerc (6 rebounds, 5 steals, 4 assists) stood up and contributed greatly to the Lady Cavs stifling defence, which led to the Steelers' 29 turnovers.

The State Championship Men have a busy schedule in round 7, facing the Corio Bay Stingrays on Saturday night in Geelong, before returning home to face Eltham on Sunday afternoon at 1:30pm.

The Youth League 1 Men also play Corio Bay in Geelong on Saturday night.

Demons denied by Cats

By Hayley Wildes Casey was no match for Geelong in the Demons' first home game of the season at Casey Fields on Saturday night.

The Cats stamped their authority in the first half and the Demons were unable to find a way through Geelong's defence, managing just one goal in each of the first two quarters.

It was a tough night at the office for Casey, but they did put some respectability back on the scoreboard with a stronger second half effort, highlighted by a four goal to one final term.

In a sloppy first quarter, the Demons' ball use was subpar and whilst the Cats didn't put a heap of scoreboard pressure on, the signs were certainly ominous.

A 14-point deficit at quarter time flattered Casey, but it wasn't long until Geelong took total control of the game.

The damage was done in a five-minute second quarter burst that saw Geelong pile on three quick goals to stretch their lead out to 32 points. Jamaine Jones booted two of those goals, as he and Stewart Crameri (two goals) were proving dangerous.

A Thomas Bugg goal reduced the margin, but a further two goals had Geelong leading 8.5 (53) to 2.3 (15) at the main break.

The likes of Tim Smith and Billy Stretch were finding the ball for Casey, but Geelong's Ben Reid and Timm House were simply dominant.

An even third term saw Geelong take a 40-point lead into the final term.

After Goy Lok kicked his second major of the fourth quarter and Casey's third in a row, the deficit was just 24 points, with Casey possessing all of the momentum.

It was too little, too late though as time was against the Demons.

Geelong went onto record a 22-point win,

12.12 (84) to 9.8 (62).

In what was a disappointing game for Casey, there just weren't enough contributors across the board as Geelong's midfielders ran riot with Zac Smith dominating in the ruck and giving the Cats first use of the ball.

For Casey, Tim Smith (31 disposals) was valiant all day and a standout best on ground for the Demons. Goy Lok and Angus Scott (two goals each) were dangerous up forward, but a lack of opportunity and ball poor ball disposal up the ground made life difficult for Casey's forwards.

The loss was Casey's second in a row and the Demons now own a 2-2 record, sitting sixth on the ladder as they head into a bye week.

"It's been the aim focus for most of the year, it's the big one - I've got some confidence, I feel good.

"I've put in a lot of work, because of the interruptions over the last few years I probably haven't put in as many kilometers as I would have liked - even though I'm confident, there is still a few spanners in the works that could potentially be interesting on race day.

"I've done bigger preps in the past, but your body can surprise itself, it might actually produce a better result on less work.

"I'm rapt to be racing the long stuff again."

And the conditions in Melbourne aren't too dissimilar to what he is expected to face come Sunday, with Maxwell also viewing it as a potential advantage.

"The main difference is the lows aren't as low, and the race day forecast is predicted to be similar to what I just had, the lows 15, the highs 25," he said.

All athletes need purpose, something that drives them to push themselves in the face of adversity and challenges.

For Cranbourne Ironman Levi Maxwell, everything comes down to his aspirations of once again competing in the Ironman Australia event.

The last two years haven't been particularly kind, with major injuries derailing him in his prime.

But now he's back, and this Sunday 6 May in Port Macquarie, the champion triathlete will get his chance to etch his name in Ironman folklore after a positive result in the latest Challenge Melbourne race on 22 April.

The Challenge Melbourne race - despite its risks - has Maxwell primed for what's to come, with the resulting giving him extreme confidence moving forward.

"I finished second in the end (on 22 April) the race I was planning on doing got cancelled, and I had a good swim for me and I was in the second pack, which is good for me," he said.

"Even though I was in the second pack, we actually ended up catching the front pack in the last lap and we were all together - there was one athlete that broke off in the lead, and off the bike I was in third, and caught the first guy within 200 meters on the run, and took the lead in about kilometer two or three, and then I just went for it and laid it all on the line.

"The guy ran me down at about 17km, to be overtaken in the latter stages of the race was a little bit demoralizing, and especially because he was a Kiwi, but overall I'm stoked, it was a PB time for me, and it was the first race I raced in good shape for almost two years now.

"It's a big race, and to come second makes me over the moon - being so close is definitely shattering, but I'm happy and pretty surprised, I thought I'd maybe be in the top 10 and to come second is a great surprise."

While Maxwell concedes he is unsure whether his body can fully recover in time, it was a risk worth taking, and something he believes could even be an advantage.

"The race I just did could still be in the legs a little bit, and it's my first Ironman in nearly

Chargers overrun the Rays

Picture: ROB CAREW

Burra and Eagles continue hot starts

By Hayley Wildes and Nick Creely SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 4 Keysborough have continued its unbeaten start to the season with a hard-fought win over East Brighton.

It was a tight match all day, but Matthew Carnelley (five goals) proved to be the matchwinner as the Burras claimed the 10.12 (72) to 10.6 (66) win.

The Doveton Eagles also remain undefeated. Doveton 20.21 (141) took control after quarter time against Hampton 8.10 (58), as Peter Dye ran riot on his way to booting 10 majors.

DIVISION 3 - ROUND 2 Hampton Park was simply dominant against South Yarra.

Nathan Carver (seven goals) and Michael Henry (five goals) were too much for South Yarra as they ran away 25.20 (170) to 1.2 (8) winners.

Hallam, meanwhile, may have kicked the only goal of the first term, but it was all Ash-

wood after that.

A five-goal haul to Christopher Grove saw Ashwood claim the comprehensive 15.19 (109) to 4.6 (30) win. Jonathan Daly and Matthew Studd (two goals) were best for Hallam.

Endeavour Hills was too strong for Black Rock, claiming a 13.11 (89) to 3.3 (21) win. Jarrod Marolla (four goals) and Christopher Webber impressed for the Falcons.

Springvale Districts claimed a 26-point win over Heatherton, 8.15 (63) to 5.7 (37), as Thomas Wilkinson and Matthew Soutter-Smith led from the front in a dominant second half display.

DIVISION 4 - ROUND 4 Lyndale fell one-point short of a win over Cerberus.

Trevor Kumetaitis (five goals) and Jayden Denmead did all they could for the Pumas, but it wasn't enough as Cerberus took the chocolates, 11.9 (75) to 11.8 (74).

Dandenong and Sandown battled it out in what was a see-sawing affair.

Shane Cosstick (five goals) and Nathan Isles were best for the Cobras, leading their team to

a nail-biting 10.6 (66) to 9.6 (60) win over the Redlegs. Michael Scott, Jayke Hopkins (two goals) and David Barrie (three goals) were best for Dandenong.

Lyndhurst 15.15 (105) were far too strong for Moorabbin 9.2 (56) as Hugh Cullen-Scholes and Anthony Besim took control of the game for the Lightning.

MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN DIVISION 2 - ROUND 4 At Somerville, Pearcedale disappointingly fell by 53 points to the inaccurate Eagles, 14.23 (107) to 8.6 (54).

Daniel Heijden and Luke Dalmau battled valiantly for Pearcedale, but Somerville's depth proved too much.

TAC CUP GIRLS - ROUND 7 After losing their first five games, the Stingrays have made it back-to-back wins, with an impressive display against the Oakleigh Chargers.

Alice O'Sullivan and Jordyn Allen led the way for the Stingrays, who claimed the 8.8 (56) to 4.4 (28) win.

There is no doubt that the top of the table TAC Cup clash between the Dandenong Stingrays and Oakleigh Chargers lived up to the billing.

It was tough and exciting, resulting in a thrilling contest that went right down to the wire at Warrawee Park on Saturday afternoon.

Unfortunately for the Rays, they were unable to keep their unbeaten record intact as they were overrun in a dominant last quarter charge by Oakleigh.

Dandenong got off to a flying start with the likes of Zac Foot and Corey Ellison running riot up forward. The two combined for three first quarter goals to have the Rays leading 4.4 (28) to 1.2 (8) at the first change.

The Chargers came out firing in the second quarter and two early goals had Oakleigh just eight points adrift.

Shortly after, Ellison kicked his second major to regain the ascendency and the Rays went on to kick two of the last three goals of the quarter to enter half-time with a 14-point lead, 7.6 (48) to 5.4 (34).

The third quarter was an absolute arm wrestle as both teams battled to gain the momentum. Jake Frawley was at his dominant best - creating plenty of attacking forays for the Stingrays and taking the game on, whilst Luke McDonnell and Lachlan Young were crucial around the ground.

The Stingrays had their chances to create a buffer in the third quarter, but will rue their missed opportunities on goal. Scoring 1.4 for the term meant the Chargers were able to stick right with the Rays as they scored two majors of their own.

In the final term, the Chargers took total control of the momentum and sliced through the Rays defence. Matthew Day slammed home the first two majors of the term to give the Chargers a one-point lead at the 13-minute mark.

A little bit of Reid Nanscawen magic saw the Rays hit back not long after to regain the lead.

But it wasn't enough.

A Charlie Whitehead goal evened the scores, before a match-winner from Lachlan Harry - who had been absolutely everywhere all day - saw the Chargers hit the front with just minutes remaining.

Some tough defence in the final stages earned the Chargers a hard-fought one-goal win over the Stingrays, 11.6 (72) to 9.12 (66).

In what was a disappointing second half, the Rays were outscored 2.6 (18) to 6.2 (38).

Their inaccuracy in front of goal was ultimately the difference in the game as the Chargers took their chances and the Rays didn't.

Jake Frawley battled valiantly all day and was best for the Stingrays. Lachlan McDonnell and Lachlan Young were also impressive, while Zac Foot and Corey Ellison (two goals each) were dangerous up forward.

Corey’s senior debut a lifetime in the making

By Russell Bennett Just under five years ago, a 20-year-old Corey Davis strode out on to the field to play his first game of footy - a real bucket list experience.

Back then, he could never have dreamt that he’d go on to play a senior game.

For him, simply playing any competitive game was a dream come true.

He was born 15 weeks premature and suffered brain damage from a series of haemorrhages before he’d even turned one. To this point he doesn’t know exactly how many operations he’s had, but he knows it’s “at least 10”.

One of those involved having a shunt inserted into the back of his head. It runs down into his stomach and seemed certain to quell any footballing dreams ever had.

port around him had grown to epic proportions and he made his debut in reserves for his beloved Bunyip Bulldogs, the local club he’d trained with in every session he possibly could since 2007.

Such was the mark of respect that Corey’s team mates had for him, he even led the group out of the rooms and on to the ground - skipper for a day.

“I’d dreamt of that moment every single day of my life,” Corey said in the wake of his first game.

“Now that’s something I can finally cross off my bucket list.”

On Saturday against Ashwood, he went a step further - finally making his senior debut for his current club Hallam in the Southern Football League (SFL), the same club that his partner Brooke plays for.

Though the result didn’t go the Hawks’ way - losing the Division 3 clash by 79 points, 15.19 (109) to 4.6 (30) - Corey was just thrilled to wear the number 57 out on to the ground. It meant the world to him.

He admitted he took a quarter to get used to the speed and skill of the game, but was proud that he made his opponent work for every touch he got.

Back in 2013, Star News wrote that the footy scriptwriters couldn’t have planned Corey’s story any better than his Bunyip side’s win over Nilma Darnum.

But on Saturday, another surprise chapter was written.

For a man with competitive fire burning within and a never-say-die attitude to match, who knows what’s in store next.

Roos stave off the Lions

By Nick Creely SOUTH EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 3 (SPLIT ROUND) With the game well and truly on the line midway through the last quarter, Officer dug deep and showcased a new found maturity in their football.

And as a result, the Kangaroos move to a 3-0 record, and set themselves up for a chance to finally push towards clinching their first finals berth since 2004.

Back to the game - played on Anzac Day in front of a healthy, vocal crowd - and Pakenham threw everything they had at the Kangaroos, with the Lions discovering a harder edge to their football in the opening three rounds.

At three quarter time, the score read Officer 10.2 (62) to Pakenham 8.6 (54), and yes, the game was as tightly contested and fierce as the scoreboard suggests, with contested ball a must and defending well of the utmost importance.

Most people in the crowd would agree that the Kangaroos were likely to run over the top and have just enough class to stave off a Lion surge after the two sides kept pace in a hotly contested opening three quarters.

But the Lions kept coming, and after Steven O’Bryan coolly slotted a set shot from outside 50 metre arc after a 50 metre penalty only moments later, it was game on once again.

The sheer toll of pressure placed on the Lions eventually broke, and the Kangaroos’ maturity shone through, with Michael Thompson slotting a brilliant goal from the pocket and moments later icing the game with a set shot that was steered through on the goal line.

It ended a brave resistance from the Lions, who kept running despite James Waldon and Stephen Heppel unrelenting in defence, with coach Ash Green explaining that the group is disappointed with certain aspects but could hold their head high at their overall improvement in games.

“We need to play four quarters of football, it was a big occasion and we’re certainly disappointed in the result,” he said.

“More disappointing was the fact that we have six goals from undisciplined acts, and that hurts.

“We certainly got better after starting a bit slowly, but we’re under no illusions that we have plenty of work to do.”

While the Kangaroos eventually ran over the top with ruckman Sean Roach - the eventual Anzac Day Medal winner - playing a colossal final term and having a major say on the result, Green expected his side to win.

“I was quietly confident with our fitness we needed to score early, and we didn’t, and free kicks against us were certainly deflating in the end,” he said.

“To Officer’s credit, they defended really well, but we’re a new team this year and it probably doesn’t help, but it creates excitement going forward.”

Roach was brilliant for the Kangaroos in the ruck and has come on in leaps and bounds, while Stephen Hawkins (three goals) hit the scoreboard in a dynamic display.

The Kangaroos eventually ran out 14.7 (91) to 10.7 (67) winners.

Down at Berwick, reigning premiership coach Stewart Kemperman was still left a bit disappointed in some inconsistency in patches throughout the game.

Coming up against Doveton on Saturday at Edwin Flack Reserve, the Wickers were always going to be far too strong, slick and experienced, but the final margin, 22.13 (145) to 8.8 (56) - nearly 15 goals - was perhaps not reflective of the game after quarter time.

It seemed it would be a scary day at the office for the Doves when the home side piled on eight unanswered goals to take a 46 point quarter time lead.

Madi Andrews, Ash Smith and the impassable Jo West were destructive early, but it was a Money show, in the name of dynamic small forward Harry.

A brilliant snapping goal from 35 out in the first quarter got him off to a perfect start, and from there it was a masterclass of speed, elusiveness and an aerial presence as good as any, ending with three first quarter goals - including a brilliant running goal that featured speed and dare -that quickly ballooned out to an ascranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

An almighty bake from Doves coach Daniel Charles did wake the visitors up briefly in the second term, with Russ Gabriel starting to take some control in the stoppages, Matthew Boyd using all of his experience to marshal the backline and exciting forward Riley D’Arcy (three goals) getting hold of Will Arthurson in an intriguing battle and taking several contested marks deep forward.

Despite more brilliance from Money, the Doves equalized the quarter despite the Wickers looking ominous once again in attack with Travis Tuck and Bryce Rutherford all spending time isolated as the deepest forward and Andrews often using his laser foot to find teammates in space.

While the Wickers slammed on 10 second half goals - including a further three from Money - all from different angles and distances - to finish with nine in a game that sees him climb to the top of the goal kicking table - the Doves proved that their best football has the potential to match it in patches, with young guns Gach Nyuon and Will Smith combining to give a glimpse of the club’s future.

“We certainly started well in response to last round’s loss to Narre Warren, and I couldn’t really fault the guys’ efforts in the first quarter, and our intent and enthusiasm,” Kemperman said of his side’s performance.

“From there, we lost our way a little bit, and credit to Doveton, they fought back and we were a little reactive in transition - we didn’t quite play that quarter, and perhaps part of the third quarter the way we wanted to.

“We addressed that at three quarter time, and I think the intent was there in the last quarter, despite the scoreboard not ticking over, it probably should have been a lot more, but our intent was better.”

But Kemperman warned his side is well off where they need to be, and is confident that once they find the right mix, there will be a more consistent four quarter effort.

“We’re certainly not at our best at the minute, and in terms of our selection we’re waiting on a few players to come back from injury - we had two debutants over the weekend, Dylan Morris and Mat McLardy, and they did really well,” he said.

“Our best footy is still ahead of us, and finding that right balance of players - there’s still quite a bit of movement with selection, and there’s some change to come, and we’ll have to manage that smartly.”

Meanwhile, Cranbourne flexed its muscles

Bryce Rutherford slips a desperate Doveton tackle on Saturday. 180268 and made Tooradin’s homecoming a painful experience on Anzac Day, with the Eagles’ blistering seven goal final term seeing them move to a 2-2 record, 9.11 (65) to 18.13 (121).

The two sides battled it out in the traditional Anzac Day blockbuster, with the rivals getting the first look at the new turf, and it was certainly a hot start.

A classy set shot from Seagull recruit Dean Warry got the home side on the board, but the Eagles worked its way back from an early 13 point deficit to enter the quarter time break with a handy seven point lead.

And a pair of 50 metre penalties - which resulted in easy goals to Dylan Cavalot and Tom Marks - made it a dominant second quarter by the visitors and undid a half of pressure and intensity, streaming out to a 26 point lead at the major break.

The Seagulls refused to give in and worked its way back into the contest, slashing the margin back to as much as 15 points at three quarter time, with Luke McKenna and Jason Kestle’s drive off half back, and typically industrious performances by Warry, Matt Sloper and skipper Matt Livermore keeping them within arm’s reach of an upset.

“We planned well for them, and we knew what to expect from them - we’re confident

that we’re a fit side, and we’ve proven that all year,” Eagles coach Steve O’Brien said after his side then slammed on seven unanswered goals to run out 56 point winners.

“Looking back to the Narre Warren game, we didn’t have a bench for the majority but kept coming at them, but you’re always a bit worried about the opposition, but we just had to trust our system and it paid off in the end.”

That fitness O’Brien speaks of certainly came to the fore in a sensational last quarter that began from the bounce of the ball.

Marking on the lead from 30 out, the commanding Nathan Gardiner (five goals) slotted a major in the opening minute to stretch the margin out to 21. Despite a barrage of inside 50’s, the Seagulls repelled the ball, but the dam wall was always going to burst wide open.

Gardiner goaled once again after a superb, laser like pass from Anthony Vella, before the classy midfielder snapped truly. The wall had been broken.

A tiring Seagulls outfit could not match the intensity of Vella and his Eagles, with the Port Melbourne listed player running home strong to take out the Anzac Day Medal as his side slammed home four more goals in the last 11 minutes.
