A planning oversight is allowing “overzealous” council officers to slug ratepayers with fines for parking in their own driveways.

Townhouses on Manna Row, Officer, have been allocated just 1.5 metres of driveway space due to a bizarrely-placed footpath at the front of their properties.

The issue has reportedly been exacerbated in recent weeks, with inspectors “targeting” the precinct.

When the Gazette visited Manna Row, six ratepayers said they had been fined for parking in “their own” driveways in the past three months alone.

They are also prohibited from parking four wheels on the adjacent nature strip - forcing them to leave their vehicles on a thin road beside a sudden turn, prone to hoon drivers.

Deborah Hughes has vowed to contest her $100 infringement, which she labelled “unjust” and “ludicrous”.

“This footpath has been placed in its location for no other reason than to revenue raise when shire funds are low,” she said.

“There is no legal, safe parking available for guests of residents living within Manna Row. “The footpath is placed over the middle of the driveway and it’s not used by anybody ex-

cept residents and guests.”

Approximately 20 properties on the Officer backstreet have the same design, leaving them susceptible to fines.

Jim Harper, who has lived on Manna Row for five years, said he has received three fines in the past six months.

Before then, he claims he never had an issue.

“For some reason the council has realised that they’ve got a goldmine here and they’ve come along fining everybody,” he said.

“Both of my neighbours have been fined, my son has been fined and I’ve been fined they’re getting everybody out here.

“The real issue is that somebody’s car is going to be cleaned up while it sits on the road, and then who will be responsible.”

Cardinia Shire has reportedly informed the residents that parking across the footpath is an impediment for the local letter carrier, who has to navigate around the vehicles onto the road.

Residents hit with the fines are encouraged to use council’s dispute process if they believe the infringement was unfairly issued.

Kokoda trekkers on track A team that has committed to trek Kokoda in October to raise funds to end family violence are on track to reach their goals.

The group of 27 is raising funds for Windermere Child and Family Services, which provides prevention and support services to families impacted by family violence in Melbourne’s South-East.

Each individual team member has committed to raise $3000 towards the cause.

“Pleasingly, we have a number of team members who have already exceeded their targets,” said former Richmond star Matthew Richardson.

A Windermere ambassador, Richardson will be leading the team in Kokoda.

Sarah, a survivor of family violence, says she hopes the funds raised will enable Windermere to continue to provide support to others.

Windermere assisted Sarah to safely leave an abusive and controlling relationship.

“Words cannot measure the level of support I received from Windermere,” she says.

“Initially I thought the numerous phone calls and interest in my whereabouts were just romantic gestures,” Sarah said.

This quickly escalated into controlling behaviour and physical violence which left her

with ongoing injuries and being too fearful to leave or seek help.

The abuse also caused Sarah to experience ongoing emotional trauma.

“I felt guilty and ashamed,” she recalls. “I had a myriad of health problems and body pain. Over time I withdrew from the many interests I was involved in.”

Gradually, Sarah planned for the right moment to safely leave. When she had an opportunity and taking only her handbag with her, she sought refuge with a family member.

When her partner pursued her, Sarah knew she needed urgent assistance to be safe and rebuild her life. The same morning she contacted Windermere and was told to come straight in.

The Windermere counselling team assisted Sarah to safely leave her relationship and provided her with immediate emotional support and risk management strategies.

Sarah says she feels “incredibly grateful” to Windermere and was lucky to access the right services in her time of need.

“From the moment I arrived at Windermere, I met with two counsellors and they spent hours with me that first day,” she said.

Sarah also attended Windermere’s seven week Healthy Women, Healthy Relationships program. The support group is for women who

have experienced family violence.

“It was exactly what I needed to identify and acknowledge what I had been through and the damage that it had done to me emotionally, mentally and physically,” says Sarah.

“Family violence is a form of trauma,” says Windermere family health and wellbeing counsellor Fiona Link-Freeman.

“Often the women in the program have been focussed on survival rather than self care.

We encourage them to reconnect with themselves and understand that they are not accountable for the actions of others,” she says.

In 2017, Windermere provided counselling to 552 families and children experiencing trauma associated with sexual assault or family violence in Melbourne’s South-East.

That equates to over 10 families every week.

“The Kokoda trip will raise money that Windermere will use to make a positive difference in the community and support families who are trying to rebuild their lives as a result of family violence,” says Richo.

If you would like to support the fundraising efforts of the team in their 2018 Trek to End Family Violence please go to www.windermere.org.au/kokoda or call Windermere’s fundraising office on 9705 3286.

Bucket-loads of fun

By Kyra Gillespie Pakenham Consolidated School students had a fun-filled day on Friday 8 June.

The school’s Bucket Filler Fun Day involved an amazing race, competitions, superhero creations, and colourful clothing, all in the name of kindness.

The idea behind the program, as school Welfare Officer Kelly Dow explained, is to teach kids about the power of their actions.

“The whole program is based on the knowledge that we all carry around an invisible bucket and when others are kind to us, it fills our bucket up and makes us feel good and when others are mean to us it dips into our bucket and can make us feel sad,” she said.

“The bucket filler program is all about using your words and actions in a positive way, when we do this we are a bucket filler. When we use our words and actions in a negative way, we are a bucket dipper.

“The program also teaches the students to ‘put a lid on their bucket’ when others are being mean by asking them to stop, by walking away or by telling an adult.”

The theme for the bucket filler program this year is ‘Using kindness to make a difference’ and this term the focus has been on self-love.

“We have been encouraging the kids to like who they are, helping them to understand that they don’t have to be the strongest, fastest, prettiest, tallest or skinniest - they just have to be themselves because that’s good enough.”

The concept is drawn from Carol McCloud’s illustrated children’s book, Have You Filled a Bucket Today?

Through simple prose and vivid illustrations,

The Bucket Fillers leaders. 181707 the heart-warming book encourages positive behaviour as children see how rewarding it is to express daily kindness, appreciation and love.

Bucket filling and dipping are used as metaphors for understanding the effects of actions and words on the wellbeing of others.

Pakenham Consolidated School has taken that metaphor and turned it into a tangible teaching method.

“Each student in the younger year levels have a bucket each in their classrooms, and if they are kind to their peers their teacher puts a smiley face in their bucket. At the end of term the child with the most smiley faces gets a small prize.

“For the older years they have a classroom bucket, and the class with the fullest bucket get to be the class champions for the following term.

“By doing this the young community become aware of what they say and do, and can realise that the smallest actions or words can make the biggest difference.”

CWA honour for Carol Pakenham’s Carol Clay has been elected a ‘Member of Honour’ by the Country Women’s Association of Victoria.

A Member of Honour is elected by more than 85 per cent member vote state-wide, and there are currently only six members holding this honour.

In addition to two years as CWA State President and holding numerous senior roles in CWA, Carol has also been involved in tennis clubs, Returned Services League (RSL), Red Cross, Meals on Wheels, hospital auxiliaries, kindergartens, church groups, the Council on the Ageing, Diversity Victoria, Equal Opportunity, Foodbank Victoria, Royal Flying Doctor Service, and ran her own business, Carol Clay’s Country Cooking, for 10 years.

Carol says cooking has been a life-long passion and despite modestly describing herself

as a “good ordinary cook”, competed headto-head with Masterchef’s Matt Preston in the Anzac Centenary Biscuit bake-off --and won!

Matt subsequently included Carol’s cupcake recipe in his cookbook “187 recipes that will make you incredibly popular”.

Carol is currently touring her popular cooking demonstrations around Casey Cardinia libraries, and Officer Owls CWA night branch is excited to welcome Carol, and her amazing scones, to their “90 years of CWA” birthday event at Officer Hall, Tivendale Road, Officer, on Sunday 24 June from 1pm to 4pm.

All are welcome to come along and enjoy a scone or two and a fascinating and varied display, for just a gold coin donation.

Officer Owls CWA congratulates Carol Clay on her election as Member of Honour.

Crime rate down by 21%

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

ies and break-ins - more than 30 a week.

On the rise were sexual offences (up 11 per cent), and breaches of court orders such as bail and intervention orders (11.2 per cent).

Deputy Commissioner Andrew Crisp, of Victoria Police, said there were "really good results" where additional police were sent to growth-corridors such as Melbourne's South-East.

He also noted the impact of new forensics technology that quickly identified high-risk offenders using DNA and fingerprints.

A significant factor in the "disappointing" rise in sexual assaults was that victims were more willing to report to police and support agencies, Dep Comm Crisp said.

New sexual offences had also allowed police to further target "evil" online predators.

"Social media and on-line platforms provide that sort of opportunity to engage in this type of behaviour but through the introduction of

these new offences it enables us to intervene and act before that contact becomes physical."

Dep Comm Crisp said people were focused on reducing the 160 home invasions recorded in the 12-month period. Across Victoria, there were 2500 less family violence offences, including serious assaults, he noted.

Police Minister Lisa Neville praised the "incredibly hard work" of police for turning around successive years of growing crime.

She and Victoria Police would continue to focus on making the community safer and reducing harm.

"We're not stopping. This is the start - we've still got a long way to go.

"We're going to continue it going forward this quarter, the next quarter and the one after that."

Cranbourne MP Jude Perera said the rising crime trend since 2011 had been "turned around".

Casey has received 31 new police as part of

the State Government's recruitment drive.

"More police in our community means more police patrolling the streets and more police employed in specialist roles to prevent crime and prosecute offenders - with more to come over the coming years."

Opposition police spokesman Edward O'Donohue said crime in Casey had risen by 13.5 per cent since the State Government's election in late 2014 - above the state average rise of 9.5 per cent.

"Casey Police have been under-resourced for far too long due to (Premier) Daniel Andrews' neglect of police numbers which saw the Police Academy a virtual ghost town for over two years."

On raw figures, crime offences had doubled in Clyde and Clyde North since 2014.

"That's why a Matthew Guy led Liberal National government will build a new 24-hour Clyde North police station," Mr O'Donohue said.

12390730-CB25-18

On the back of extra police, Casey's official crime rate has plummeted to its lowest level since 2014.

Recorded offences dropped 21.6 per cent drop in the 12 months up to 31 March 2018, according to a Crime Statistics Agency report released on 14 June. The reduction coincided with last year's roll-out of extra police into growth-corridors such as Casey.

It was more than double the 9.5 per cent drop in the statewide crime rate.

Among the biggest reductions were burglaries (by 26.8 per cent), thefts (33.5 per cent), drug offences (22.4 per cent), weapons (17.4 per cent) and stalking, harassing and threatening behaviour (17.5 per cent).

The high-harm crimes in assaults and robberies also dropped. Sobering, there were still more than 2200 assaults in the year period more than 40 a week. There were 1755 burglar-

Drugs fuelled killer driver

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A 21-year-old Narre Warren man who drove on the wrong side of Churchill Park Road, Lysterfield with several drugs in his system and killed an oncoming driver has been jailed.

Jacob Braithwaite-Deegan was on his way to work when his Hilux crossed 1.5 metres over the centre line on the 70 km/h road and struck the front right side of the victim's car, Victorian County Court judge Julie Condon said on 18 June.

There was no evidence of him speeding; neither driver had braked ahead of the crash shortly after 8.30am on 20 February 2017.

The other driver - a husband and father of two boys - died at the scene.

"By your actions you've caused loss of life," Judge Condon told the accused.

"All too often courts are faced with the tragic consequences of young men such as yourself who fail to understand the potentially fatal ramifications of driving dangerously."

In sentencing, Judge Condon said she had to deter other young men doing the same.

The wife was unable to console herself given the great hole left in her and her sons' lives by the loss of her husband - who was her "best friend" and "rock", Judge Condon said.

In her victim impact statement, she said part of her died on the day of the crash.

Braithwaite-Deegan pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and seven counts of drug trafficking, after police seized a variety of drugs as well as $39,588.50 from his car and home.

He was clearly trafficking drugs for profit,

not just to support his habit, Judge Condon said.

Braithwaite-Deegan was heard to comment after the crash that he'd had a "big weekend" and was "really tired", the court heard.

Another witness heard him say "I think I started dozing off".

There was evidence of a "cocktail of drugs" in Braithwaite-Deegan's blood samples - including MDMA, MDA, ketamine, and metabolites of cocaine.

There was not sufficient proof that the drugs were at a level that directly influenced his driving. However it was relevant to Braithwaite-Deegan's moral culpability.

Another witness said she'd had to take evasive action to avoid Braithwaite-Deegan's erratic driving shortly beforehand.

The accused appeared to be looking down,

she told police.

Braithwaite-Deegan had no explanation for the crash. He told police he was "feeling just normal", and honestly thought the other driver may have crashed into him, Judge Condon said.

The day after the crash, he was arrested and had since been in remand in adult prison.

There he demonstrated remorse, leadership qualities as a mentor and role-model, and a commitment to his drug rehabilitation.

He showed maturity in pleading guilty and not applying for bail but accepting his fate in custody, Judge Condon noted.

Braithwaite-Deegan, who had no prior convictions, was jailed for up to four-and-a-half years, with a 34 month non-parole period.

His term included 483 days in pre-sentence detention.

Scissors held to throat of ‘soft target’

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Clyde North man has been jailed over an armed robbery in which he held scissors to the throat of a lone female servo attendant.

Kuachjon Bieljok, now 22, told the victim "I'm very sorry to do this to you" as he pulled on a balaclava at the Traralgon service station about 6.30am on 25 September 2016, Victorian County Court judge Carolene Gwynn said during sentencing.

Bieljok told the attendant not to set off alarms and requested she pour cash from the register into a white plastic bag and to open a nearby safe.

When she told him she couldn't access the safe, Bieljok grabbed scissors from the counter using nearby latex gloves.

He pointed the blades at her and repeated his demand.

She showed him the safe's Armaguard lock that was inaccessible to her.

"Stop lying to me," he said as he pressed the point of the scissors into the attendant's neck.

She opened a smaller nearby safe that was found to be empty.

Bieljok fled with $278.85 from the register as well as the scissors and gloves. The victim wept as she rang triple-0.

He was arrested at a Traralgon address, refused to give police his name and address and then denied the allegations during a police interview. He later pleaded guilty to armed robbery.

Judge Gwynn said Bieljok had robbed a "socalled soft-target" who was entitled to feel safe

at her workplace.

It was clear from the victim's statement to police that she was "terrified" by the event, the judge said.

There was "little explanation" for the robbery, other than Bieljok's peer association, alcohol addiction and diagnosed intellectual disability.

His IQ was assessed within the range of 6775, his thinking and reasoning skills were "extremely low" which put him at higher risk of "impulsivity".

Bieljok's criminal history was blotted by bail breaches, assault, drunkenness, and driving and dishonesty offences.

He was already serving a jail term of up to 33 months for an armed robbery at a Dandenong supermarket in July 2016.

At the time of that robbery and the Traralgon incident, he was on a CCO for car theft and breach of bail.

The accused was born in a Kenyan refugee camp after his family fled Sudan.

At age 7, he migrated to Australia with family members. He had no contact with his biological father and a "limited, if any" employment history.

In sentencing on 18 June, Judge Gwynn said Bieljok had reasonable chances of rehabilitation due to being assisted by an African youth welfare group and his relative young age.

She reduced Bieljok's punishment, taking into account his current jail term under the principle of totality.

Bieljok was jailed for two-and-a-half years, with a non-parole period of 18 months.

The Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association (CRRA) was formed late in 2015 with an aim of ensuring that accountability, transparency and democracy is upheld in our local government.

Following the council’s very negative response to the association’s establishment the CRRA has further extended and reviewed their purpose. One of the key purposes considered by the CRRA is: “To advocate in the best interests of our communities in relation to local government matters important by them. To advocate with council on matters our communities consider important.”

The CRRA has considered Casey Council’s budgeted $257,000 Commit to Casey Campaign and has decided that we cannot support council in this.

CRRA is strongly in favour of better roads and public transport in Casey, including extension of the Cranbourne railway line to Clyde and local area bus networks running as early as possible.

CRRA believes that Councils do have a role in advocating on behalf of their constituents to state and federal government levels.

However, councils should always consult properly with the broader community on such matters.

CRRA also believes that a line is crossed when a campaign becomes expensive use of ratepayers’ money for political campaigning.

With many Casey councillors being members of a political party and some already announcing they running as candidate for local seats in the state election to be held in November, it is not appropriate for the council to be spending anything on a campaigning.

CRRA recalls the same idea to campaign to support the East West link was taken up in the year of the last state election and was roundly condemned by large numbers of residents who saw it for what it was, electioneering for councillors on community’s funds.

CRRA finds the lack of clarity as to what roads and what rail works the council is calling for in most of the literature is misleading the community, most of the campaign material is just saying “Blame the State Government for the congestion on the road network in Casey.”

This is untrue and omits that there was a time when the only roadworks that took place in Casey for many years was the long-running duplication of Hallam South Road that caused months of chaos through Hampton Park.

CRRA will be making a submission in part relating to the Commit to Casey decision at the budget presentations.

Should you wish to discuss this matter further, a representative group of the CRRA committee would be pleased to meet with you or a person from your office at your convenience.

Build a bridge These rail bridges over roads will let emergency vehicles through more easily, except I suppose if it’s actually chocka with peak-hour traffic.

Eventually when they are built.

It is a rather slow trip to and from the city as things stand.

Having jobs out this way may certainly ease some of that road situation, I expect. For the record, the plan to house 200,000 more people in the City of Casey does seem to be happening, whatever we think.

Online ‘troll’ fight

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A state political candidate has accused a Casey councillor of 'trolling' him and reported their offending comments to Facebook.

Gary Maas, who is running for the ALP in Narre Warren South, reported persistent, repetitive comments from 'Misa Frances Quinzel' on 15 posts by Mr Maas's Facebook page.

Frances Quinzel is the name of a DC Comics anti-hero, also known as Harley Quinn.

The account, until recently, appeared to use a profile picture of Casey councillor Milla Gilic.

It has been replaced by an image of a character from the Kill Bill movie series.

Cr Gilic has not responded to Star News's enquiries on the matter.

The comments attacked Mr Maas for his recent criticism of Liberal political rival Susan Serey as well as his 'local' credentials.

"Just be honest and see how you fare, it would be pathetic to run your campaign on some fake agenda, seems like that's how you're gonna go about this though... it's sad, our community deserves better, a lot better.

"If you think you can move down here and play the act needed to get the votes then you aren't giving our residents enough credit, we do pay attention to our community and what goes on within it.

"How many years have you lived in 'Our Community' anyhow?"

At one point, the comments state: "I guess we can only hope you'll be honest and forward about this."

Mr Maas says he woke up one morning to find up to 15 notifications of Quinzel's comments.

"When I had a look, it was the same (comment) over and over again infecting every single post on my page."

He reported the "abusive" comments because they breached Facebook's guidelines for 'hate speech' and not using an authentic identity.

The former profile picture of Misa Frances Quinzel.

"If you actually want to enter into a proper political debate, I'll reply. But I'm not going to when it's an obviously fake account - and particularly if you're being rude and nasty.

"You wouldn't do that face-to-face so why should you be able to do that online?"

Mr Maas called on Cr Gilic to declare if she was a Liberal Party member to her electors.

"She has ... misrepresented her identity through her Facebook profile in making continued and persistent political and personal attacks against me and now my campaign team.

"I wonder what social media policies are in place at the City of Casey, if its elected representatives can repeatedly bully candidates and indeed other residents of the City of Casey."

Mr Maas called on Liberal candidate and Casey councillor Susan Serey to declare her stance on her "friend" Cr Gilic's alleged conduct.

Ms Serey said the "content and management of Mr Maas's Facebook page are clearly a matter for him".

"However I regularly block and hide abusive and sexist comments from Labor members and trolls.

Mr Maas said that he is renting in City of Casey, with a view to moving permanently to the area if he wins a seat at this year's State Election.

A Narre Warren South man accused of possessing child exploitation material has allegedly stored footage of girls walking past his home, a court has heard.

Dean Meyer, 35, pleaded guilty to knowingly possessing child pornography including explicit video of adults with children that appeared under the age of 10, prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Tim Barlow told the court.

Sixteen illegal images and six illegal video files were found on a computer tower, laptop and DVD disk seized by police from his home in October, police alleged.

Meyer declined to be interviewed on the charge.

A video of "particular concern" - though not illegal - appeared to be filmed from his master bedroom. It featured "very young girls walking past in school dresses", Lead Sen Const Barlow said.

Police were also concerned that Meyer's home was surrounded by extensive CCTV equipment linked to a TV inside his home, the court heard.

Meyer is awaiting sentencing for making explicit phone calls to dance studios about girl students featured on their websites in 2015-17.

During the calls, he made a graphic request for sex with a girl who had been featured in dance costume on a studio's website.

He was bailed for sentencing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 30 July, pending a Forensicare psychiatric report.

His bail conditions include reporting to police three times a week, living in a fixed abode, not travelling interstate, no internet access other than for employment and banking purposes and not to have contact with under-18s.

Irwin the Labrador Retriever has transformed the life of Berwick boy Ollie Hurst.

Since forming their very special bond two years ago, Ollie - who has autism - has become much happier, his anxiety has dramatically reduced and his communication has significantly improved.

The changes have been so profound that mum Gillian wants to thank the community for bringing Irwin into their lives and "pay it forward" to help other children, like Ollie, be gifted their own companion dog.

"Ollie is very, very different to how he was," Gillian said.

"Before we got Irwin, Ollie didn't speak in front of anyone he didn't really know and now he's a chatterbox.

"We really just want other families to have their lives made easier."

Ollie, 9, was diagnosed with autism five years ago after Gillian and husband Jack noticed he was shy and wouldn't make eye contact with people outside their family. He was also having meltdowns triggered by small changes to his routines, couldn't sit still and was struggling to sleep.

After Gillian met a companion dog in training she was put in touch with Dogs for Kids with Disabilities, an organisation which specialises in training dogs for children with autism and other developmental disorders.

After an assessment, Irwin was matched with Ollie and the pair have been inseparable since.

Chess is a game of strategy and logic.

For centuries, it has been played and enjoyed by millions of people around the world, but there are few people in the 21st Century that play the ancient game as well Berwick Lodge Primary School's vice school captain.

His name is Ashwin and he has participated in dozens of chess competitions around Victoria (and Australia) and won numerous medals and trophies to prove it. Ashwin started playing Chess in 2016 and hasn't looked back since.

"I started to play chess after watching my brother and mum play," Ashwin said.

"I become interested in it and I picked it up fast. My mum saw talent in me and encouraged me to play more and more.

"After attending chess coaching sessions, I was ready to play in tournaments."

According to the 'tornelo' website, Ashwin is now listed as one of the top 30 best chess players in Australia.

Bushfire safety gets priority This weeks Specials...

Casey Council has largely resisted a push for smaller subdivisions in its northern bushfireprone areas.

In its proposed Planning Amendment C198, the council largely retained minimum subdivision sizes of 0.4 hectares in leafy parts of Lysterfield South, Narre Warren North, Endeavour Hills and Harkaway.

Residents had pushed for re-zoning to halving the minimum lots of 0.2 hectares.

However, Casey has agreed to smaller lots in an up-market housing estate to the south-east of Heatherton Road and Hallam North Road, in response to "many" submissions including a 51-signature petition.

It allow smaller lot sizes in housing estates surrounding Fox Road due to a majority of favourable submissions.

In the former case, they were responding to Both are subject to an investigation on connection to sewerage services, and a possible introduction of a Significant Landscape Overlay.

Councillor Rosalie Crestani said the council

had been responsive to what the majority of residents wanted in their areas.

"I believe council officers achieved the right balance. We've been very thorough about it.

"Keep in mind some of the subdivisions may not happen for years to come."

Cr Crestani said further subdivisions were knocked back in areas next to bushfire-prone areas.

"We can never forget that we're surrounded by fire-prone areas in Four Oaks Ward. Safety is paramount and we're ensuring we're governing it well.

"When you're talking about doubling the density of housing, it throws up extra challenges."

Amendment C198 also encourages higher-density neighbourhoods and multi-storey apartments in other parts of Casey, particularly near activity centres and public transport.

Planning Panels Victoria is expected to hear upon the proposal in coming weeks.

Cranbourne-Narre Relay For Life organisers were clucking with delight after winning an innovation award for their unique 2017 cancerresearch fundraiser.

The relay's King of the Wing competition challenged diners to scoff as many wings as they could in 10 minutes.

Memorably, some of the diners ruined some good suits as they enthusiastically splashed marinade during the frenzy.

"The crowd got involved, cheering them on," says committee member Brooke Hunter.

"It brought that community spirit. We want everyone to feel they're on the same team."

Its sense of fun also won over valuable sponsors, such as Ray White Cranbourne.

"It gave the relay a fresh take."

Being a pro-health event, it had to be stressed that sort of food should normally be eaten in moderation.

"It was why we used the slogan - it's about the bucks not the clucks.

"We gave it a healthy twist by baking the chicken wings.

On 2 June, the spirited contest was recognised with an Embracing Innovation award at the Cancer Council Victoria Relay annual awards.

A heavy accent costs people confidence and possibly their dream job, says a professional development coach.

Aarti Royan is part of a business called The Difference Makers, which is offering an eightweek 'accent neutralisation' course for migrants.

She nominates it as the number one issue for why migrants can't get ahead.

"This need has been in my psyche for quite a while now.

"I've encountered doctors who might lose their practices because their patients don't understand them.

"In factories, things can go horribly wrong if you can't communicate clearly."

The workshops don't aim to modify a person's natural accent, but focus on vowels, consonants and commonly mispronounced words, Ms Royan says.

It also drills down on speech patterns, the importance of putting stress on particular words.

"It's very difficult to take an accent out," Ms Royan says.

"The objective of this program is not to put on a fake accent. We want to communicate, communicate, communicate."

Participants are encouraged to socialise, network and take every opportunity to develop their communication skills.

"When you communicate well, you understand better as well.

"Whether you're a qualified professional or not, it can cause you to lack confidence to feel not at your best at a business meeting, family gathering or a job interview."

The course runs on Tuesdays, 24 July-11 September, 7-9pm at Bunjil Place library. Book by 30 June at https://www.trybooking.com/ WDQH Details: team@diffmakers.net or 0409019365.

Job seekers’ online risk

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council job applicants are unlikely to suffer "direct identity theft" as a result of a recent widespread data breach, according to a cyber-safety expert group.

This month, numerous groups including City of Casey and Federation University were notified of the possible data breach involving their online recruitment provider PageUp People.

In a statement on 19 June, the federal agency Australian Cyber Security Centre declared that "no Australian information may actually have been stolen" - though investigations were still ongoing.

"The ACSC emphasises that there is a significant distinction between information being accessed (which means there has been a systems breach) and information being exfiltrated by the offender."

In the joint statement, IDCARE, which has since assisted PageUp clients, stated that there were "more relevant" risks as a result of the breach.

These included possible phishing emails, scam calls, or specific risks due to contact information, address and workplace details being known to third parties.

"At this point, direct risk of identity theft

is unlikely", IDCARE managing director Dave Lacey said.

"Identity thieves typically require other forms of personal information to successfully manipulate this type of data, such as driver licence, passport, and account details, in order to obtain credit in a person's name or related acts of impersonation."

Federation University, which has a campus in Berwick, has disabled its PageUp- provided online recruitment system.

"The University has taken the precautionary measure ... until we receive further information from PageUp about the nature and extent of any potential impact," a spokesman said on 14 June.

Casey Council had also taken down its PageUp online recruitment system.

It has advised its job applicants that their personal data may have been "compromised".

PageUp says it is confident that the "most critical" data categories including resumes, financial information, Australian tax file numbers, employee performance reports and employment contracts were not affected.

Job applicants' names, street addresses, email addresses and phone numbers as well as employment history and referee details may be at risk, PageUp stated. pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

PROPERTY NEWS

RENTAL MARKET STRONG

By Narelle Coulter TO rent a three bedroom home in Officer will typically cost a family $390 per week.

That’s the median rent in the area as compared to a metro Melbourne median of $440.

In Pakenham rent is slightly cheaper with a median of $360 per week. Those wanting to rent a unit in Pakenham are looking at a median of $313 per week.

The rental yield, according to the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, in both suburbs is 3.4 per cent, well above the Melbourne metro yield of 2.7 per cent.

Peake Real Estate principal Kristen Turner said Officer was attractive for investors because of its growth potential.

“Officer is a known growth area and investors are wise to buy in growth areas, so enabling them to benefit from capital increase in the long term,“ Ms Turner said.

She said Officer was attractive to families. For $390 a week Ms Turner said renters could expect a 3 bedroom plus study home on a standard low maintenance allotment.

Barry Plant Pakenham rental manager Cassie Keenan said demand for rental properties was strong in neighbouring Pakenham.

She said the strength of the rental market mirrored the strength of the sales market.

Ms Keenan said some executive style properties could reach up to $500 per week.

“We have properties on our books at the moment for $420, $440 and $460.“ For $460 a week renters get a modern, well-presented four bedroom home with two bathrooms, garage, study, three living areas and outdoor al fresco dining.

“As long as the price is right landlords can expect plenty of applications,“ Ms Keenan said.

New homes in Officer are being snapped up by renters.

She said modern renters were savvy and knew the market thanks to the internet.

“There is plenty of stock and landlords really have to get the price right,“ she said.

Ms Keenan said the profile of people

applying for rental properties was mixed.

“I’ve had a 76 year old apply for a property recently, through to 18 years olds looking for their first rental home.“ She said Pakenham was attractive to

renters because of its affordability and access to services.

“Everything is here; public transport, shops, schools, kinders and it’s 50 minutes to the city.“ 12391064-LB26-18

Take a the long road Marketing and advertising are non-negotiable costs of running a successful business.

That was the message from marketing expert Damian Morgan who appeared at a series of Star News Group sponsored seminars this week.

“Most small businesses are bloody good at what they do, but not good at telling their story,“ Mr Morgan said.

He urged small business owners to “educate the market about what you do“ by rolling out a sustained, targeted advertising campaign, with simple messages that grab attention.

“If you get people’s attention and get one message across you’ve done well. Don’t try for two or six (messages).“ He said compelling, engaging advertising made for a “better return on investment“ as it “costs the same to run a bad ad as it does to run a good one“.

“The first job is to get people to look at what you do. You need to cut through in a very noisy world and get people’s attention and a response.“ Mr Morgan said businesses often made the mistake of trying to be all things to all people.

“Business is about solving problems. Identify your target market and when you are most likely to solve their problems. Is it Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day? “If you don’t put your hand up and promote yourself with advertising you lose the sale.

When you have a vacuum it gets filled by the competition.“ Mr Morgan said building a reputation was a long road, one that took patience and investment.

Star Advertising representative Sarah Wright (centre) with Laura McBride and Shelley Beilharz representing Bendigo Bank.

“Marketing is not something you turn off and on. It needs to be built into your business model.

“If marketing is only something you do when you have to you are doing it wrong. You

are telling the market you’re cheap and desperate, not that you’re good.“ He urged businesses to pluck “low hanging fruit“ in their local area first.

Manager steals $31k

Jobs on the line

By Brendan Rees The jobs of school cleaners across Casey hang in the balance as new State Government reforms set to tear up their contracts next month.

The Victorian Government will introduce a new system where eight zones will be created across metropolitan Melbourne and a single cleaning contract will be awarded for all schools in each zone as of July 1.

Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) have called for better enforcement of existing workplace rules, and "not a kneejerk response that puts people out of businesses."

"This appears to be contradictory to Government procurement principals that allow small and medium business to compete in a competitive space with 'big business,'" said Chief Executive of VCCI Mark Stone AM. Star News contacted a number of schools that will be affected in Casey but either declined to comment or were not available.

Shadow Minister for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises Neale Burgess said wiping out local school cleaning businesses was "just further proof that Daniel Andrews is nothing more than a bully."

"Labor's unfair changes to school cleaning contracts have wiped out over 700 small, mum and dad family businesses with the stroke of a pen. They have installed six major cleaning companies, one of which, ISS Facility Services, was fined $132,000 for underpaying their workers," he said.

"This unionised takeover of our school cleaners is a disgrace and the community should be outraged."

Minister for Education James Merlino said the Government had a zero tolerance for poor labour practices and multiple investigations found vulnerable staff being underpaid and mistreated in this industry.

"Our reform will provide greater assurance that school cleaners receiving their legal wages and entitlements," Mr Merlino said.

"There are a range of supports in place to help businesses during his transition phase and all incoming service providers must recruit from the current school cleaning workforce."

Liberal candidate for Cranbourne Ann-Marie Hermans said attacking small family cleaning businesses was a disgrace with the Labor Government stopping at nothing to expand their union base.

"These new reforms mean schools, like Cranbourne Park Primary School in my electorate, will be dirtier for longer," she said.

"I am an experienced school teacher and I know how difficult and demoralising it can be for staff and students to work in a dirty environment. It is not conducive to learning."

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A former worker at a Beaconsfield financial company has pleaded guilty to swindling more than $31,000 from her employer over a two-year period.

Alisha West, as the practice manager at Lucana Pty Ltd, had abused her access to company bank cards and a petrol card from 2015-17, police alleged at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 18 June.

The then-34-year-old, who had a bookkeeping background, had successfully argued against the firm’s “old-style” accounting method in favour of more autonomy. She took advantage of this, stealing funds for personal items such as home renovations, the court heard.

Some of the 137 fraudulent transactions included $4000 doors at her home, polo tickets on-sold for profit and excessive fuel use for non-work purposes, prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Mark Donoghue told the court.

After the company’s audit of the purchases last year, West’s job was terminated. The misappropriated $31,841.92 had not been paid back.

Defence lawyer Esan Pilai argued against a conviction for West, who had no prior criminal history and made full admissions.

If convicted, West would face great difficulty getting another job as well as travelling, he said.

Reading a submitted psychological report, magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted that West “still blames the employer ... on some level”.

“When you asked for greater autonomy, unfortunately you took advantage of that for financial reasons.”

West was convicted and ordered to perform up to 150 hours of unpaid work as part of a 12-month community corrections order.

The order included restitution, possible mental health treatment, financial counselling and offender-behaviour courses.

A security guard from Hampton Park suffered minor injuries after intervening in an assault at a business premises in South Melbourne this morning, 15 June.

The 52-year-old man had secured a man following an assault between a male customer and female employee at the York Street address, police say.

The security guard and the man were involved in a scuffle before St Kilda police arrived and arrested a 42-year-old Melbourne man just after 10.30am.

The Hampton Park man and a 57-year-old female from East Bentleigh both sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene.

FOCUS ON … SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND GETAWAYS

Take a great break and fishing is always a popular pastime.

There are plenty of places to enjoy fishing from the bank so a boat is not necessary to hook the best catches.

The past year has seen a great increase in the number of overnight stays in caravans and campers. Tambo River offers powered and unpowered sites. Waste disposal is available at all sites and the usual laundry, camp kitchen and barbecue facilities are on hand.

As more and more travellers are enjoying extended trips with their ‘best friends’ Tambo River is pleased to welcome pets to the park.

Some restrictions do apply regarding pets at Christmas and Easter.

The park also offers comfortable and affordable cabins in a variety of sizes. The cabins are popular with families and groups.

Tambo River welcomes a number of fishing groups during the winter months, and groups of friends and families holidaying together.

The village of Swan Reach has a wellstocked general store with post office and newsagency, a hotel providing meals and cold beer, and a service station for fuel, mechanical repairs and fishing gear.

Casey holiday fun all over There's plenty happening across the City of Casey these school holidays.

From Monday 2 July to Friday 13 July, the City of Casey's Teenage School Holiday program will offer teenagers aged 10 to 17 years fun, age-appropriate activities at reasonable prices. Transportation to and from the program is available at designated pick up and drop off points throughout Cranbourne, Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Endeavour Hills and Doveton. For more information visit the City of Casey website.

Bunjil Place is bound to be a hub of activity with the Trash Puppets Workshop for kids taking place on Monday 2 July from 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Kids are invited to join the talented team from Trash Puppets in a hands-on creative workshop to learn how to make their own take-home puppet. Bookings are essential.

Then, on Wednesday 4 July, kids are invited to take part in the free 'Backyard Painting' activity at Bunjil Place. The cubby house there

needs some decorative paintings to hang on the walls. Kids are encouraged to be inspired by the cubby and its backyard and create a painting which they can either hang in the cubby or take home and keep.

On Monday 9 July, the Selandra Community Hub invites five to nine-year-olds to learn the ancient secrets of the Jedi at their Star Wars Jedi Academy. Students will master skills such as agility, focus and lightsabre techniques and the session will be topped off with a graduation certificate for each child. Bookings are required.

On Friday 13, the Selandra Community Hub will again open its doors for their Super Science activities. For ages nine to 12 years, the programs are all about hands-on mixing, testing and experimenting! Join them as they make slime, create giant bubbles, and launch fizz poppers.

The Tambo River Tourist Park at Swan Reach is a great place to spend a short break.

The past few months have seen many visitors finding what staff and regulars already know - the area has so much to offer.

Visitors can enjoy scenic drives, visiting the local wineries or fresh fruit farms, cycling the rail trail or taking a bike ride to Metung for coffee.

The bush is beautiful and there are many roads to explore, and the possibility of finding ruins of old quarries, mills or machinery left behind from days gone by is always there.

The river is perfect for kayaks and boats,

Dr Philip McCahy (right) with colleagues Tony De Sousa and Shekib Shahbaz. 181512

Urology specialists

By Dr Philip McCahy Surgeons have been in the news recently – league tables, excessive charging, over treatment, pointless heroic surgery and new treatments with uncertain results. As prospective patients it must seem like a minefield out there.

When you go to see a specialist either in a public hospital or privately there is no easy way to ensure that the advice you get is current and appropriate. If you are seeing a specialist privately ensure you know what you are getting and how much it is going to cost. Initial consultations can vary widely in length and cost from being bulk-billed up to $250.

If you are booked for a private operation you should complete informed financial consent which should detail out-of-pocket expenses. Many procedures can be done for free in the public sector and for important conditions such as cancer the waiting times will be less than four weeks.

Most, but not all, private surgeons can get patients onto a public hospital waiting list.

Some operations are much safer in a big public hospital than a small private hospital no matter who is doing the operation.

Second opinions are well worth considering if in any doubt.

Myself and the other urologists at the Melbourne Urology Centre – Tony De Sousa and Shekib Shahbaz - are able to offer sensible, friendly advice at area best rates covering virtually all aspects of urology including prostate problems, renal tract stones, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, testicle problems, prosthetic surgery, incontinence, vasectomy, vasectomy reversal, erectile dysfunction, penis/foreskin problems, urethral strictures and urological trauma.

We have significant public commitments at Casey Hospital as well as the local private hospitals. Patients can be assured of up-to-date, unbiased opinion.

The Melbourne Urology Centre is at 55 Kangan Drive, Berwick. Find out more at melbourneurologycentre.com.au.

Volunteer Maree sells red apples on Red Apple Day 2017.

Taking ‘bite’ from checks Friday 1 June marked the start of Bowel Cancer Month an initiative strongly supported by St John of God Berwick Hospital each year.

Through its annual Red Apple Day, Bowel Cancer Australia encourages people to support its work through the purchase of a Bowel Cancer Awareness ribbon or by running apple themed fundraising activities.

Through the generous donation of apples from local growers, Montague Fresh and Bonview Orchards, St John of God Berwick Hospital hosts an annual fundraising day, where visitors and caregivers are encouraged to give a gold coin donation in exchange for a fresh apple.

The event not only helps to raise muchneeded funds for the association but also aims to promote awareness around bowel cancer in the hope that early detection will reduce the number of new cases diagnosed each year.

"Although bowel cancer is one of the most treatable types of cancer with 90 per cent of cases being curable if caught early enough, it still continues to be one of our biggest killers claiming the lives of 80 Australians each week due to low early detection rates," a St John of God spokesperson said.

"Also called colorectal cancer, bowel cancer affects both men and women equally with eighty per cent of cases exhibiting no known hereditary genetic associations.

"With the rate of cases rising sharply and progressively from the age of 50, it is no longer considered an "old person's" disease. Cancer Council Australia recommends that people aged between 50 and 74 be screened for bowel cancer every one to two years."

The free non-invasive test can be done at home to screen for blood in the faeces but is only recommended for low-risk people who show no warning signs or have no family history of bowel cancer.

If individuals are experiencing symptoms such as a change in bowel habit with diarrhoea, constipation or the feeling of incomplete emptying, thin bowel movements, blood in stools, abdominal pain, bloating or cramping, fatigue, unexplained weightless or anaemia, they are urged to contact their local GP for a referral to a St John of God specialist.

For more information, contact St John of God Berwick on 8784 5000 or St John of God Dandenong on 8793 9444.

“In the event of an emergency or if you fall unwell whilst away, your My Health Record is then accessible by medical staff to give you the best possible care as quickly as possible,” she said.

“Please ask our friendly staff on how to register and upload your important medical information at Belgrave Hallam Road Medical Centre.”

For more information about Belgrave Hallam Road Medical Centre, phone 03 8842 4499 or visit bhrmc.com.au.

Each patient is given personalised care from Dr Andy Ong at Elite Orthodontics at Narre Warren South.

The focus of the clinic is to bring the latest and best advances in clinical orthodontics including braces to the Casey-Cardinia community.

Staff aim to provide caring and experienced treatment by a registered Australasian Orthodontic Board-certified specialist orthodontist.

The practice encourages parents to be chair-side during visits to allow treatment progress to be discussed in detail.

Operating for the past six years in the Casey-Cardinia area, the practice offers a minimal waiting list and a scheduling policy which allows patients to start treatment when they want to.

And patients only see one orthodontist with Dr Ong there from start to finish.

Traditional metal braces, clear braces and even invisible lingual braces that are fitted

onto the inner surfaces of the teeth are available at the clinic.

Staff also use Invisalign - clear, plastic, custom-fitted splints that fit over the teeth and help straighten them without the need for braces.

But the main strength of the clinic is the use of state-of-the-art technology such as computer-aided visualisation software to demonstrate various treatments and their effects allowing patients to gain an in-depth understanding of the proposed treatment.

There is also a flexible, no-fuss payment plan and costs of treatment and expected duration of treatment are always discussed beforehand, so there are no surprises.

No referral is needed and before and after school appointments are available.

The clinic at 236 Ormond Road, Narre Warren South, is open four days a week from Monday to Thursday.

SPORT

It’s more than a game

By Hayley Wildes and Russell Bennett Sometimes, just sometimes, basketball is more than a game - it's an avenue to bring a whole community together for some of the most important of causes.

On Sunday at Pakenham's Cardinia Life stadium, that cause was raising vital funds for the fight against Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Leah Bryant's son Zach plays in the Warriors' under-12.2 side. They lost a husband and a father when Leah's partner Craig lost his battle with MND in 2011.

Since then, she has worked tirelessly to campaign and raise crucial funds for the battle against what MND sufferer Neale Daniher calls 'the beast'.

So, on Sunday for a MND 'Big Freeze' double-header, the wider Warrior family banded together with 'Craig's Crew' to help their own - for a cause close to their hearts.

Those who attended the clashes bought Big Freeze socks, beanies, and even warm-up tops - while a variety of other items were also available by way of a silent auction.

In a busy weekend on-court for the Warriors, there were mixed results across the board.

The Division 2 Men hit the road to take on Sherbrooke at Belgrave Heights on Saturday night. A dominant first half by the Warriors yielded them a 25-point half-time lead.

It was a determined Warriors group that refused to let any costly second-half fadeouts surface as they ran away with a ruthless 63-95 victory.

Hayden Davey (19 points, 10 rebounds), Ashley Szalek (17 points, 6 rebounds) and Tim Mulhall (9 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists) led the Warriors home in a great team effort.

One of the clear standouts of the show on the Saturday was young wing Liam Jones, who finished with 14 points in less than 15 minutes of action courtesy of a perfect 4-4 from beyond the arc.

Unfortunately, the Warriors couldn't follow up their fine work as they fell to the Southern Peninsula Sharks at home on Sunday afternoon.

Pakenham fell behind early and couldn't fight their way back from a 15-point quartertime deficit, eventually falling 84-95 in a highly entertaining, physical contest.

Ben Gaze (26 points) and Brad Szalek (16 points, 7 rebounds) led the way for the Warriors, who sit seventh on the ladder with a 7-7 record.

Each time they made a run throughout the contest, the Sharks seemed to have the answers just when they needed them most - despite a stellar offensive display from Gaze, who scored 24 of his points in the second half.

Ben Gaze was a real standout for the Warriors over the weekend.

The Warriors came together as one on Sunday for a cause so close to their hearts The Youth League 2 Men took over in the final quarter against Chelsea at home on Saturday afternoon to claim an important 92-75 win.

In a thrilling battle for the first three quarters, the Warriors led by two points at the final break, before outscoring the Gulls 27-12 in the final period.

Lee Belton (18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Ned Weideman (16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals) were outstanding for Pakenham.

The win sees Pakenham solidify fifth position with a 10-6 record.

The Youth League 2 Women had a disappointing outing against the struggling Werribee Devils.

In a game that, on paper at least, loomed as a straightforward win, the Warriors were outplayed and struggled to get their offence going, falling to the Devils, 75-59.

Despite the loss, Ellie Coutts (13 rebounds, 11 points, 5 steals, 3 assists, 3 blocks) was her usual dominant self, but unfortunately there just wasn't enough help.

Round 13 Big V action sees the Division 2 Men travel to Mildura to face the Heat and the Youth League 2 Men also hit the road to face Keysborough, both on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, the Youth League 2 Women welcome the Mornington Breakers to Cardinia Life at 6pm on Saturday night.

Officer local Hayden Westwood is passionate about his work and will never turn down an opportunity to further develop and grow - in more ways than one.

Having found his passion in golf course maintenance, Westwood, 23, travelled across the globe for the opportunity to work at the prestigious U.S Golf Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York this past week.

“I’m building relationships, making connections, which can be as important as growing grass. That’s what it’s all about,” Westwood told Golf Course Magazine (GCM) recently.

“I’m trying to move up in the industry, and it’s good for me to see how another country does things.”

A career outdoors was always on the horizon for Westwood, who spent much of his childhood playing and exploring outside.

“I’ve been an outside boy my whole life,” he told GCM.

Westwood, who attended Beaconhills College, has worked as an assistant at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club since he was 18-yearsold and he quickly realised a career in golf course maintenance was possible.

He worked hard to take in all the learnings he could and that led to him finding himself assisting on arguably the most famous golf course, surrounded by the best golfers, in the world.

His role at the U.S Open was a team leader for approach mowers - a role that will hold him in good stead upon his return to Melbourne and for future endeavours.

Westwood told GCM of his appreciation for the support he has received since landing in New York.

“I regard the people here as friends. They have been accommodating, and they spur me on. They accepted me - I don’t feel like a foreigner, I feel like I’m part of the team,” he said. pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Berwick’s hoops success

By Hayley Wildes The Berwick College Basketball Academy is making a name for itself as it racks up impressive wins in tournaments across the state.

Earlier this month, the senior girls claimed the 2018 Victorian College Championship (VCC). This comes off the back of a hugely successful 3x3 state championships in May, which saw the under-19 girls and under-17 boys crowned state champions.

Chris Pentland, the director of the Berwick College Basketball Academy, talked about the program and the improvement he sees in those that participate.

"We've got about 250 kids involved in the basketball academy now, from years 7-12 and we certainly see improvement across the board," he said."We have a huge variation in ability and you probably see the greatest growth from the kids that are sort of picking the game up at a base level."

"We've got some great coaches in the program with a lot of experience in high-level play themselves."

The Senior Girls team, who took all before them at the VCC, went through the pool stage undefeated - beating Box Hill (12-point win) and Mater Christi (4-point win) - before facing Box Hill again in the semi final and claiming another win, this time by seven points.

In a highly competitive field and with shorter game lengths - games consist of 2 x 12 minute halves - there was little room for error and the girls from Berwick College took on Rowville Sport Academy in a back and forth final.

"It was pretty tight all the way through. We got a jump on them early and then they got a bit of lead, before we came back late and ended up winning," Pentland said.

"They were super excited to get the win.

They're a great bunch of girls and it was nice for them because they've been together in the program for quite a while."

The team, led by rising star Jaz Shelley -

The Berwick College senior girls recently claimed the 2018 Victorian College Championship. who helped Australia claim an incredible gold medal at the under-17 World Championships in 2016 - secured the win over Rowville, 28-22.

Along with Shelley, Tiarni Fallon, Vanessa Fantin, Jess McConchie, Rebecca Peacock

and Tamsyn Pentland made up the victorious six-player team.

For Fantin, McConchie, Pentland and Shelley, it was their second state championship in as many months after claiming the 3x3 state

Picture: SUPPLIED championship in May. Berwick College is building a basketball program that is driving improvement in all students and as recent results suggest, they can match it with any school in the state.

Berwick City surges towards the top in the State League

By Nick Creely FFV SOCCER WRAP REVIEW - ROUND 11 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH EAST A blistering start for the Eltham Redbacks was too much for the Casey Comets to handle, going down 3-2 on Saturday afternoon.

The Comets couldn't handle the attacking masterclass of Gianni Falzon - who scored a first half brace - to take a 3-0 lead into half time.

Needing a miracle to come back and win, the Comets battled valiantly and scored two

second half goals to put some respectability on the final scoreboard, with the home side doing too much damage in the end.

The loss has the Comets third last on the State 1 League South East table, ahead of Morwell Pegasus and South Springvale, who occupy the bottom two positions.

STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH EAST Berwick City is circling around the top two after knocking off North Caulfield 0-3 at Caulfield Park on Sunday afternoon.

Courtesy of a brace to Orlando Mejias - who now has seven goals for the season - City went into half time 0-2 up, and found the back of the

net only a minute into the second half to put the game to bed.

The win - which is City's seventh in 11 games - has them narrowly in third spot - only two points from the top of the table.

Ladder leaders Doveton, meanwhile, suffered a shock 3-1 loss to Knox City at Egan Lee Reserve on Saturday night, with the Doves now somewhat vulnerable at the top of the table.

Knox found the only goal of the first half, and couldn't contain the home side after a red card to Anthony Goweid, conceding another two goals in the second half.

STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH

Lyndale United powered away in a dominant second half to set up a 3-1 victory over Pakenham United on Saturday afternoon.

The home side scored all of its three goals in the final half, with Pakenham's Karl Cochrane not helping proceedings with a red card.

At Prospect Hill Reserve, Casey Panthers stood no chance against Chelsea FC 1-5, with four of the goals coming in the first half.

In other matches, Aspendale United won 6-1 against Bunyip District, Old Mentonians got the job done in a 2-1 win over Drouin, while Knox United defeated Endeavour Hills Fire 3-0.

Demons are well placed for a tilt at the VFL flag

By Hayley Wildes The Casey Demons return to action this weekend, taking on the winless Coburg Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday from 4pm.

After a bye in round 11, the Demons will be looking to solidify their second position on the ladder and push their winning streak out to six games. The last time these two teams met - in Round 1 - the Demons scored a massive 107-point win, 28.12 (180) to 11.7 (73).

Casey has been ruthless over their five game winning streak. But what makes their streak even more impressive is who they have beaten and how they've gone about their business.

Wins against Box Hill, Port Melbourne, Williamstown and Collingwood - all current top eight teams - showcases the tough schedule Casey has been faced with and highlights that they have been able to defeat strong teams consistently.

There is no doubt that the strength of Casey's AFL affiliate; Melbourne, has played a key role in the team's success. With so much depth and plenty of wins for Melbourne, there are high quality AFL-listed players consistently pulling on the Casey jumper.

The likes of Jeff Garlett (five games), Jayden pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Hunt (six), Tom Bugg (seven), Cam Pedersen (seven), Billy Stretch (seven) and Jay KennedyHarris (nine) have all been unable to break into Melbourne's team and are playing for their AFL lives in the VFL. That hunger is driving those players and they are performing week in, week out for Casey. To their credit, they are not playing onedimensional, selfish football either - they are playing the Casey brand of football; tough, pressure-filled and defence driven.

While Stretch, Bugg and Hunt have had standout games, Pedersen's season has been incredibly consistent and at times, matchwinning. In seven games, he has booted 20 goals as a utility - with his composure and sublime foot skills constantly relied upon.

With a plethora of Melbourne-listed players making waves for Casey, the work of VFL-listed players such as Jay Lockhart, Corey Wagner and James Munro can't be underestimated.

They continue to do a heap of heavy lifting for the team and will be vital cogs in the second half of the season.

As we look to the second half of the season, Casey is well-placed to make some noise at the business end of the year.

The Casey Demons are set for a big second half of the season. 181761
