Property Lift out

Blown away by village’s day of play

By Brendan Rees A giant bubble display was a major attraction at the Blind Bight Community Centre open day, drawing children and big kids at heart.

The event, held on Saturday, 17 June, aimed to showcase the centre's services with a range of activities including a jumping castle, arts and crafts, knitting demonstrations and more.

Manager Leanne Craven said she was overwhelmed by the turn-out and the positive feedback received.

Lucky to be alive When Ashley Harraghy began playing with a couple of her neighbours dogs the last thing she expected was to be fighting for life minutes later.

The 20 year-old of Cranbourne North was mauled by the dogs in her backyard, which tore apart her skin and clothes.

She said the dogs - which she believed to be a blue heeler and staffy-ridgeback cross - had snuck under a hole in the fence and appeared friendly at first.

“I patted them and then I saw the owner looking for them at the back of our property.”

Ms Harraghy said as she stood about six metres from the owner, the dogs jumped on her and began their savage attack on Sunday 17 June, about 2.15pm.

“He (the owner) was standing at our back fence and he just stood there and watched the whole thing and didn’t stop it.”

She said she freaked out the second the canines began circling her.

“The staffy jumped on me a couple of times while I was running, and ended up latching onto my arm and whipping me down.

“By this stage the dogs had bitten me over 30 times, ripped off all my clothes, and broke my

glasses,” she said.

Unable to fight back, Ms Harraghy says she hopelessly tackled the dogs while on the ground with one biting her close to the neck.

After three unbearable minutes, her partner heard her screams from inside their home and managed to get the dogs off her.

“I started running back to the house and the dogs were still running for me; they didn’t run for my partner they just wanted me.

“When I got inside I practically passed out and then the next thing I know the ambulance were there.”

Hospital where she received 60 stitches to deep gashes all over her body.

The child care assistant worker says she’ll have to take nearly a month of work to recover.

Casey Council Safer communities manager Caroline Bell confirmed local laws officers seized a dog, believed to be an American Staffordshire Cross on the day of the attack.

“A second dog, believed to be a Blue Heeler Cross, was seized the following Thursday following investigations,” she said. “Due to the seriousness of the incident and complexity of the investigation, both dogs will remain in the care of Council for the foreseeable future.”

with Lisa Tuthill, Life Sciences Manager at Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale

What's the most interesting part about being a senior keeper at Moonlit Sanctuary?

The variation of day to day work. I normally have a plan of what I would like to achieve for the week, but when you work with animals you have to be able to think on your feet as different things come up almost every day. Although this can sometimes be stressful it is also very exciting and keeps you thinking outside the box.

What is something people don't know about you?

I grew up in Launceston, Tasmania. Growing up on a semi-rural property, I had a love of animals from a young age and I knew early on in my life that I wanted to work with them.

Some nights, we used to hear Tasmanian Devils in our back yard (sometimes breaking into our bantam hut!)

What is the most memorable moment in your life?

I have had many memorable moments in my life, but one of my career highlights so far, has to have been when I got to see some of the critically endangered Orange-bellied parrots that we bred be released into the wild. It was quite amazing to actually see the birds fly out of their enclosure and realise they were in the wild, they flocked together then took off to the feeding grounds. It was truly thrilling.

What is your favourite television show?

I don't know ... I like Masterchef at this time of year, but I don't really watch that much TV. Which AFL football team do you follow?

Collingwood.

What is your favourite place to visit in Victoria?

I enjoy camping down at the Otways and going to Phillip Island (not during the busy period though). I also love going to wineries, I live and work on the Mornington Peninsula where there are around 91 wineries, so sometimes

What is your favourite book?

I enjoy reading a variety of books, but one of my favourite authors is Lee Childs.

Do you have any pets?

I have a horse named Bella.

What do you work towards in your free time?

I enjoy working with my horse and work towards becoming a better rider.

Where would your perfect holiday destination be?

I would really love to go to the Galapagos Islands to see the unique species that live there.

Taken to cleaners Come June 30, the State Government’s school cleaning workforce reforms will come into force leaving small businesses to face potential ruin, reports BRENDAN REES Michael (not his real name) is among hundreds of small school cleaning business owners about to be put out of work.

In a major shake-up, Victorian public school cleaning contracts will be wiped from 1 July.

A new model will be introduced where eight zones are created across metropolitan Melbourne and a single cleaning contract will be awarded for all schools in each zone.

For Michael, the policy change means he’ll lose contracts with six schools across Melbourne including in the south-east.

“We’ve just been left out in the cold; our industry has been taken over,” he said. “It has got us gobsmacked from the word go.

He said his son, 25, has worked for the business for the past seven years and was eventually going to take over.

“My daughter has just left school; was about to take a bookkeeping course and join the company - both planning to build the business for their future,” he said. “They are completely disillusioned. We’ve literally been thrown out of business with no compensation whatsoever. I’ve got business loans, I’ve got a mortgage, and my income has gone from a million dollar turnover to $170,000,” Michael added.

According to Michael, 58, he will have little choice but to close his business after 11 years with his 26 staff also “wondering what’s going to happen.”

“They all had secure employment, all been paid the right amount, all long term staff. My

The owner of a small cleaning business will be forced to close by the end of the month. 182233 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS staff retention is like a 100 per cent, now they are still waiting,” Michael said.

He said his company was worth about half a million dollars in assets with contracts that have now been “wiped off the books, everything gone, and no notification.”

In a statement last week, Minister for Education said the reforms would “provide greater assurance” of school cleaners receiving their legal wages and entitlements.

“There are a range of supports in place to help businesses during his transition,” Mr Merlino said.

Shadow Minister for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises Neale Burgess said Labor’s unfair

changes to school cleaning contracts has wiped out over 700 small, mum and dad family businesses with the “stroke of a pen.”

Michael said there’s no way he would be able to apply for the new contracts.

“I would have to increase my financially ability ten-fold in three weeks and that goes against the procurement laws in Victoria.

“We’ve basically been pushed out of the industry with no hope of returning,” he said.

The Victorian Government has indicated regional Victoria would also move to a zoned model following the roll-out in Melbourne.

The Victorian Chamber is also calling for better enforcement of workplace rules.

Congestion eased with ‘freedom’ overpass A congested level crossing has been removed on Thompsons Road with drivers set to enjoy a smoother journey over a new overpass.

Premier Daniel Andrews today joined Minister for Roads and Road Safety Luke Donnellan at Thompsons Road on Sunday 24 June to announce the opening of the first of two, three-lane bridges being built as part of the State Government’s $207 million upgrade.

The level crossing was removed near Merinda Park Railway Station.

Mr Donnellan said with more than 26,000 vehicles travelling on Thompsons Road every day - “this project is boosting capacity, upgrading intersections and helping Victorians get where they need to go safer and sooner.”

Drivers will now be diverted onto the new northern road bridge on Thompsons Road, permanently separating road and rail and allowing for the removal of the old level crossing equipment below.

Nearly 145,000 hours of work have helped build the 3,200-tonne bridge over the rail line and the 60,000-tonne supporting wall.

Work will begin on the southern bridge and new traffic lanes on the south side of Thompsons Road.

The State Government will also duplicate sections of Thompsons Road and upgrade

Labor candidate for Cranbourne Pauline Richards, Premier Daniel Andrews, Minister for Roads and Road Safety Luke Donnellan and Member for Narre Warren South Judith Graley inspect the new upgrades on Thompsons Road.

and Thompsons and Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road will also be replaced with traffic lights.

Premier Daniel Andrews said there were now 25 dangerous and congested level crossings gone for good.

Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera said “Local drivers were sick and tired of waiting at this dangerous and congested level crossing that’s why we wasted no time getting rid of it.”

Liberal candidate for Cranbourne AnnMarie Hermans said Daniel Andrews claimed the project was “shovel-ready” four years ago, yet work did not start on this project until two years after Labor was elected.

“If Labor cares about the people of Cranbourne, then why are locals still stuck in traffic?” she said.

“On Thompson’s Road and the Western Port Highway we need the Liberal’s congestionbusting plan for grade-separation, so we can keep our traffic moving and spend less time on our roads and more time at home.”

Shadow Minister for Roads David Hodgett said it had taken three-and-a-half years for Daniel Andrews to discover that Melbourne is in the” grips of a congestion crisis.”

The Thompsons Road Upgrade is expected to be completed in mid-2019.

An unemployed 41-year-old ice addict has claimed that a cluster of home-made fire-arms found at his Cranbourne home were for video props, the Victorian County Court has heard.

It was a “very unusual” and “troubling” explanation, said sentencing judge Phillip Coish on 25 June.

The accused Christopher Clarke, in a letter to the court, had said “I simply do it for the challenge and mechanics of making them”.

Clarke pleaded guilty to possessing a trafficable amount of firearms and imitation firearms that were discovered during a police raid of his home on 11 August 2017.

Police also seized 35.7 grams of white crystal substances containing methamphetamine, a machete-like sword, a samurai sword and three other swords as well as gun componentry.

None of the six firearms as well as ammunition seized had been securely stored, Judge Coish noted.

The cache included a working handgun and side-by-side shotgun, with others capable of discharging with “further work”.

Clarke had admitted making a number of the weapons on his lathe, including a pen pistol and an Uzi handgun.

He was on bail and a community corrections order at the time.

Judge Coish noted there was no evidence that the weapons were associated with other criminal activity and that Clarke was “genuinely remorseful”.

Clarke, who had been heavily using ice every day at the time of the raid, had been drugfree while in remand custody. His drug use had escalated after being made redundant in late 2016.

On 8 December, Clarke served four months jail for car theft, drug and driving offences.

Surrounding that time, he spent 119 days in pre-sentence detention for the County Court charges.

Judge Coish said a community corrections order - on top of jail - was not an appropriate sentence given Clarke had breached a CCO at the time.

He set a shorter non-parole period given Clarke’s good rehabilitation prospects if drugfree, family support and his constructive use of his remand time.

Clarke was convicted and jailed for 24 months with a non-parole period of one year.

His pre-sentence detention period was included in the sentence.

By Brendan Rees Blind Bight Community Centre threw its doors open to showcase the services they offer last Saturday 23 June. A giant bubble display and a science demonstration courtesy of Monash University were the highlights of the day drawing children and big kids at heart.

The event aimed to promote the centre with fun interactive activities for kids and craft demonstrations for the adults. There was also a sausage sizzle, face painting, jumping castle, toy library, nature kids' display, colouring competi-

tion, Lego, a tiny tots dance, patchwork and knitting demonstrations and live souls/blues music.

Manager Leanne Craven said she was pleased with the turn-out despite rain threatening earlier in the day. "We had great feedback and the day was very successful," she said.

A number of volunteers also helped make the day special. "We could not have done it without their help," said Ms Craven. "A big thank you to all who participated and got involved in making it the awesome day that it was." The event is expected to be held annually which will be "bigger, brighter and better" in the warmer months.

Tim’s pokies army on march

Gardens’ gift Cranbourne's treasured Royal Botanic Gardens has received its biggest funding boost in more than 20 years.

Minister for Environment Lily D'Ambrosio unveiled a $27 million funding package over five years for the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria (RBGV) to revitalise its Melbourne and Cranbourne gardens.

It will fund new paths, better irrigation, keep the waterways free of weeds and safeguard over 8,000 species of rare and unusual plants under the care of the Gardens.

The funding will create 18 new jobs, repair the roofs of the famous Observatory buildings and replace the doors of the Tropical Glasshouse.

Visitors will enjoy new signage, better lighting and revamped picnic areas, as well as more community programs and major events.

Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D'Ambrosio said the funding would ensure the RBGV remains one of the "best gardens in the world."

Gordon Rich-Phillips MP

Supporting Cranbourne

"These gardens are the living heart of Melbourne and we're making sure they thrive for future generations," she said.

Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera said RBGV in Cranbourne was a cherished sanctuary of native bushland and "this funding will help it stay that way."

Chief executive of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria Professor Tim Entwisle said this uplift would begin a transformation of the state's largest and much loved Botanic Gardens.

"We will add to those beautiful landscapes new digital interpretation, tours, public art and exhibitions, greater access to our scientific knowledge and many more ways for our visitors to connect with nature," he said.

The upgrades are expected to lift the annual number of visitors to RBGV from 1.9 million to 2.3 million visitors each year by 2023.

RBGV will continue its collaboration with Aboriginal Elders to celebrate the important stories and living culture of the Traditional Owners of the land.

One of Australia's leading voices on social justice has called on Casey Council to financially back a campaign against problem gambling.

Director of the Alliance for Gambling Reform Reverend Tim Costello delivered a presentation to councillors at their 19 June meeting seeking $25,000 to support the Alliance's campaign 'The Pokies Play You' which aims to prevent harms from gambling.

His speech was part of 15 public submissions received by council in relation to the draft Council Plan 2017-21 and the 2018/19 Budget.

"Councils need to join because Australia has the greatest gambling losses of any country in the world - $25 billion a year, that's a $1000 per head," Rev Costello said, who is also he former chief executive of World Vision Australia, "And why should Casey be a member of the Alliance? Because you suffer the second largest losses in the state as a municipality; $129 million, that's up $2.28 million from last year.

"Only Brimbank Council is higher than you - $134 million of losses. So at this rate, with the rise you're headed for a loss of about $134 million, that $367,000 a day," he added.

However, Rev Costello did commend Casey Council for their "very strong policy" to reduce gambling harm.

Rev Costello continued his speech, saying pokie machines were deliberately deceptive, addictive and had misleading programming.

"Features such as losses disguised as wins you think you had a great win when you have a win on one line, and you're playing the other five lines and you're done and all the bells and whistles go off and the adrenaline pumps and this is profoundly addictive," he said.

"There are harm minimisation measures that one dollar bets, maximum (hourly) losses actually can save marriages and people going bankrupt."

Director of the Alliance for Gambling Reform Reverend Tim Costello has called for Casey Council to contribute funds to the Alliance.

A letter from the Alliance to council said if the City of Casey chose to join the Alliance the benefits would be an opportunity to work directly with a member of the Alliance's politics and media strategy team and a focus on advocacy, community consultation, support and education.

Cr Sam Aziz told Rev Costello the $134 million in losses for Casey didn't take into account that the City of Casey was "in fact the largest city by population in Victoria."

"It would be fascinating to translate those figure as a per capita figure and then do a comparison," he said, but added "Every dollar is unacceptable."

Rev Costello said: "Overall, per capita figures are important - we can get that to you the individual stories are utter strategic that's why we need you."

The 15 public submissions will be considered at special council meeting on Tuesday 26 June.

OPINION THUMBS UP THUMBS DOWN

What’s in a name?

Thumbs up I'm loving the trains are back to normal and Thompson Road bridge is complete.

Thumbs down The Cranbourne police station counter service is terrible, take a cut lunch.

Thumbs down I'm over the high density housing - no backyards or decent parks in these new estates and road congestion etc.

Thumbs down To all of the public transport commuters that think it's fine to not have a Myki or always say they only have $50 knowing the bus drivers will have no change. You should be kicked off and made to walk.

Thumbs up I think it's great that a Supercare Pharmacy is opening shortly in Cranbourne North.

Thumbs up To all the staff at Casey Hospital especially the nurses! They've been looking after my mum for six weeks in four different wards and they are unfailingly respectful, polite and caring. Thanks to you all.

Thumbs up To the City of Casey for a lovely day on Saturday at the brain storming session a great family fun time.

Thumbs down To beggars around Berwick.

REAL ESTATE Email seren@starnewsgroup.com.au

The proposal of the Mayor of the City of Casey to re-name Pioneers Park (or a part of it) to commemorate the late Councillor Moreland seems to me to completely ignore the history of the park.

While speaking against the proposal to honour a man who has given long and valuable community service to the City of Casey and the former City of Berwick may seem meanspirited, and it is not easy speaking against a proposal to honour Councillor Moreland, I feel an opinion must be expressed.

The park would not have existed unless my parents (Bill and Helen Hudson) had not proposed that the old Berwick Primary School site be purchased for the use of the community, instead of being sold for development.

Discussions were in train between the council and a school for the site and there was interest from developers for residential development. My parents established a fund to judge the support of the local community for public ownership of the land. They, along with other families of pioneering heritage and others of, as were my parents, long-standing association with the township, contributed amounts of $10,000 each, and along with many other smaller amounts, that eventually reached a quarter of a million dollars. With this fund local councillors were approached and the municipality, to prove the very strong level of support in the community for the retention of the primary school site for a public park.

A prime and early supporter of the project, in council, was Councillor Norma McCausland and an equally strong supporter was the local parliamentary member Tammy Lobato. These two were the driving force in official circles in getting the eventual agreement to acquire the land for public use and not development.

There were a number of councillors, at the time, who did not support the project, and indeed suggested that it would never happen.

The Berwick Pakenham Historical Society strongly supported the project and it was on their suggestion that the land was eventually called the Pioneers Park. This was to honour all those who had come as pioneers to the district and laid the foundations for the Berwick we know today. Neither my parents, the Wilson, Loveridge or Beaumont families (all of whom were substantial supporters of the initial fund to prove to council that there was substantial interest in retaining the land) looked for recognition in the naming of the Park to be. The park was named to honour all those who had come before.

To name the whole or a part of the Pioneers Park for one individual goes completely against the original concept of this.

While I have no doubt that Councillor Mick Moreland should be recognised for his service to the City of Casey and former City of Berwick, naming this park after any one person is the wrong thing to do.

What will happen in the future when another councillor gives such distinguished service? Will another piece of the Pioneers Park be singled out and another name added?

Mayor Ablett is quoted as saying that “part of the park will still retain the Pioneers name - in keeping with the restaurant of the same name”. This quote could be construed as the Park being named after the restaurant, when in fact the restaurant is named for its situation within the Pioneers Park, indeed the restaurant’s name is Primary@Pioneers Park.

It is important that the history associated with the acquisition of the former Berwick Primary School Number 40 site for public use, made possible only by a concerted public campaign, and the dedication of the resulting public park to the Pioneers of Berwick, is not forgotten.

Mick Moreland certainly deserves public recognition, but I cannot agree to excising a part of the Pioneers Park to commemorate any individual. It would, I believe, be far better if another site were chosen.

At a service held in the park for the late councillor Bill Hudson, on the way to his Memorial Service at the Berwick Showgrounds, the following prayer was read by the Reverend Ineke Giles: Prayer of the PARK Pray that those of this and future generations who visit the Pioneers Park of Berwick find it a place of peace, joy and reflection and that all children find it a place of fun and happiness.

That the park becomes a place for reflection and remembrance of the members of the Berwick Community who volunteer their time and talents to make this their township a better place in which to live and a community fulfilled.

And that they gain the inspiration to give of

their own time and talents so they to can leave a legacy, no matter how small or how great, to this and any community of which they are a part.

That the legacy of the Pioneers Park will be one of inspiration to all of the Berwick Community to make Berwick a town that grows on the strength of all who make her their home or place of work or learning.

We give thanks to Bill Hudson (without whose inspiration and leadership the Pioneers Park would not have come about) and those members of the community who, in the last years of the 20th century and the first years of the 21st century, worked to make this legacy of the Berwick Pioneers Park a reality for the citizens of Berwick.

And to the managers and Staff of the City of Casey, who designed, constructed and maintain the Pioneers Park now and in the future.

And finally we give thanks to all those who serve local and national and world communities in myriad organisations and in quiet personal ways in an endeavour to help their fellows and make a part of this planet a better place for them having been on it.

We pray that this Prayer of the Park will encourage a sense of interest about those citizens of this community who have come before and made Berwick Village the place of beauty that it is today and that future generations will continue to ensure that Berwick Township grows as a place of beauty inspired by the actions of generations past, present and future.

Pioneers Park commemorates all the people of Berwick, not a single individual.

Geoff Hudson, Longwarry North Formerly resident of Berwick

Council counts cost Last Tuesday I had the privilege of representing the Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association Inc (CRRA) at a Casey Council meeting.

Rather than dwell on the unusual behaviour of one particular councillor, I would like to

explain the $1 million plus of savings that the council could have made by following CRRA recommendations over the last two years.

These savings include $650,000 allocated to the ‘China Economic Partnership’ and $257,000 allocated to the 'Commit To Casey Campaign’.

While the intent of these two expensive council projects may have some merit, for reasons outlined in our submissions, we believe that both these project are deeply flawed and represent a poor use of ratepayer money.

Reducing the costs of the mayoral dinner and similar catered events could also provide savings totalling over $30,000 in one year. Additional savings of approximately $74,000 could have been made last year, by buying modest Christmas decorations for Bunjil Place, rather than the extravagant decorations that were purchased. (Media reports indicate the cost of these decorations were over $76,000. At the time of writing this letter, we are still waiting for the City of Casey to confirm how much was actually spent on Christmas decorations at Bunjil Place last year.)

These savings are important as our own research indicates that the affordability of rates is a significant issue across Casey. Mortgage stress, low income growth and insufficient rate discounts for pensioners, leave many households struggling to pay annual rates bills that currently average nearly $1,700. Regardless of this, Casey Council has continued to indicate that in the coming years it may seek to increase rates beyond the rate cap limit.

The CRRA is working hard to try to ensure this kind of rate increase does not happen.

The CRRA would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank those councillors who have attempted to ensure some of the savings we have recommended come to fruition.

Tackling the scourge of ice

By Brendan Rees Casey Council will develop a Local Drug Action Team (LDAT) to help tackle drug and alcohol harm.

Council was announced as one of the successful applicants for a $10,000 grant from the Alcohol and Drug Foundation to develop a LDAT, which will be formed in the second half of this year.

The LDAT will be consist of seven to 10 members from service organisations, specialist drug and alcohol providers, non-govern-

ment organisations and community health specialist providers.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett said the LDAT would draw on partnerships with organisations in Casey that are concerned with community safety and wellbeing.

"Some of the statistics for Casey are concerning," he said.

"We know that one in five adults are at risk of short term alcohol-related harm, that Casey has one of the highest number of family violence incidents in the state and alcohol is a large contributor, and that the use and posses-

sion of crystal methamphetamine ('ice') has increased over the past five years."

Cr Ablett said the team would respond to the needs of the community.

"The Casey LDAT will be responsible for developing a Community Action Plan, in consultation with the Casey community, that will focus on building alcohol and drug protective factors in our community and preventing drug and alcohol related harms.

"A key objective of our Council Plan is to create an inclusive, safe and connected community, and a priority of Council's Municipal

Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017-21 is reducing harm from alcohol, drug and tobacco use," he said.

Monash Health spokesman Shane Butler said Monash Health supported programs that address drug and alcohol challenges being faced by our communities.

"We welcome greater discussion and community engagement on these issues, to support effective interventions and recovery from drug and alcohol misuse," he said.

Pokies decision a jackpot win for community

By Brendan Rees Community groups in Casey could cash in as much as $10,000 a year from pokies money generated by the Lynbrook Hotel.

At their 19 June meeting Casey Councillors voted to endorse a grant program offering between $1,000 and $10,000 per applicant, which would be paid in quarterly instalments.

Casey Council will await confirmation from Victoria's gambling regulatory body regarding Lynbrook Hotel licence conditions before finalising funding guidelines and eligibility criteria.

It comes as the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) handed down an amended condition on the Lynbrook Hotel's licence in February for the hotel to make $68,000 of annual community contributions from poker machines over a four-and-half year period to Casey Council after years of not upholding this obligation.

On 11 May, Casey Council wrote to the VCGLR stating its intention to "opt in" of receiving and distributing annual 'community con-

tributions' from the Lynbrook Hotel.

City of Casey Deputy Mayor Wayne Smith said he was not a fan of poker machines but the community had a "strong chance of continuing to miss out on the distribution of those funds."

"We have come up with a good compromise and this is definitely a win for the Lynbrook community," he said.

A report before councillors said contributions will be donated to not-for-profit community groups and organisations that provide support services to the Lynbrook community.

However, the vote at the 19 June council meeting was met with dissent from four councillors.

Cr Tim Jackson said "I've got a big concern that council is delving into roles that it should not be in.

"We see time and time again, government's state or federal passing the buck onto council to get something for us to do and for our cost to do it," he said.

Councillors also voted to endorse setting up a community panel to manage the distribution of the funds which would consist of

up to four Casey residents, one representative from a social support organisation, one representative from a community organisation that advocates for the Lynbrook residents, and one Casey Council officer.

The Alliance for Gambling Reform director and spokesman Tim Costello said Casey Council should be careful not to legitimise the distribution of harmful poker machine profits from an operator with "a very chequered record."

"With an annual budget of $441 million, even just devoting officer and councillor time on such a relatively small amount of money is giving the Lynbrook Hotel credibility it clearly doesn't deserve," he said.

"In 2016-17, Casey suffered the second largest pokies losses of any council in the state at $129 million and so far in calendar 2018, losses are up another six per cent."

President of the Lynbrook Residents Association Jason Wood said: "We believe that after fighting for the funds over 10 years, having Council oversee the disbursement of the funds would provide a fair distribution for groups in the areas local to the hotel."

‘Boredom’ leads to jail

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A "bored" Cranbourne North man has been jailed over a raft of theft, weapon and drug offences while on a community corrections order.

The 29-year-old pleaded guilty to breaking into a Dandenong South business and stealing a tandem trailer and a ride-on lawn mower worth more than $23,500 in September, Dandenong Magistrates' Court heard.

After stealing number plates from a nearby parked truck, the disqualified driver towed the loot to his home - a trip that was tracked by the mower's GPS security device.

He was found by police with two zip-lock bags of 'ice', the stolen property and burgling gear such as gloves, bolt-cutters and oxyacetylene torch.

On 27 December, the man sat on a shower floor with a sawn-off shotgun threatening to harm himself after an argument with his partner at home in which he refused to go to a Drug Court appointment.

Police set up a cordon and arrested him.

They found a rifle scope, a dagger, a bow and arrows, and 34 supersonic bullets in his home.

The accused, who was prohibited from having weapons, was involuntarily admitted for psychiatric treatment.

In a police interview, he said he'd had the shotgun for many years despite being raided many times by police.

The man also pleaded guilty to trying to break into a Ringwood car park's ticket machine using numerous tools including a screwdriver in July 2017.

He also stole of tub of items from a timber yard at a Bunnings retailer in Dandenong South

THE CARPET CENTRE SUPERSTORE

in September, and was charged with drug driving and several counts of unlicensed driving.

He had also gambled at an Officer venue in breach of a bail night curfew to "cheer up for my birthday" in February. He rode there unlicensed on an unregistered motorcycle with altered plates.

A defence lawyer told the court that Longley - who had made several suicide attempts - had recently improved after his first stint of mental health medication.

"It's now or never" for Longley to sort himself out, the lawyer said.

The accused had been promised full-time work, which wouldn't allow him time to think about doing crime, the court heard.

"A lot of the offences were committed through boredom," the lawyer said.

"He's had enough and he doesn't want to do jail anymore."

Magistrate Pauline Spencer said the offending was "serious in itself" and "made more serious by the repeated nature".

She noted the "very bad combination" of significant thefts, drugs and the "very concerning" possession of two firearms as a prohibited person.

She took into account that it had just come to light the man was suffering mental illness at the time, she said.

"I'm hoping with the medication, now you'll be in a better position."

He was jailed for 16 months, with a non-parole period of eight months that would include strict drug testing and mentoring.

A police application for the forfeiture of the motorcycle was opposed by the man's family.

That was adjourned to 4 July.

Big year for Rotary

By Brendan Rees Marcel Hendriksen is the new president of the Rotary Club of Cranbourne when the club held its Changeover Dinner at the Settlers Run Country Club on Friday 22 June.

The evening was enjoyed by 70 Rotarians and official guests including the City of Casey Mayor Geoff Ablett, Deputy Mayor Amanda Stapledon and former Casey Mayor Colin Butler.

Donations were also presented to Cranbourne Information and Support Service (CISS) with a cheque valued at $2500 and TRAG - Teenage Road Accident Group ($1000) for their respective community support services provided in the Cranbourne district.

CISS executive officer of Leanne Petrides said the donation had already been put to good use.

Just over $1,000 has already gone towards food/fuel vouchers -which is $435 over CISS' daily budget.

"We have been able to assist with partpayments towards a life-saving Continuous positive airway pressure machine, repair of broken dentures, and glasses for a young girl at school," Ms Petrides said.

"None of these payments would have been possible without knowing that cheque is about to be banked."

A Paul Harris Fellowship Award was also presented to Tim Nolan of TRAG in Mornington Peninsula, in recognition of his outstanding community work in speaking to numerous youth groups about the importance of safe and responsible driving techniques, as they acquire their driving licence.

Club secretary Terry Vickerman said the club's major project was the planning and development of a community centre within the

Video clue for police

By Brendan Rees Police hope CCTV images will identify those responsible for an alleged theft of an excavator and trailer from a business in Cranbourne.

Narre Warren police are investigating the Friday 25 May incident.

They believe up to three people were at the High Street address when the Vermeer mini loader excavator, worth $44,000 and trailer, worth $9,000 were taken between 3.40am and 4am.

Police say the intruders cut the fence to the business before forcing a lock on the trailer. It's believed two cars were used in the offence.

Investigators released still images of a man they believe may be able to assist their enquiries.

They are urging anyone who may be able to identify the man or have any information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au and quote the incident number 180181716.

Marcel Hendriksen addresses guests after being announced as president of the Rotary Club of Cranbourne.

YOU’RE MORE SUITED THAN YOU MIGHT THINK

Honouring a Scouting brother

By Brendan Rees A Narre Warren South mother and her teenage son have taken on the challenge of a lifetime, trekking to the foothills of the world’s tallest mountain.

From facing freezing temperatures to altitude sickness, and a gruelling 156km trek through the Himalayas to the base camp of Mt Everest, Jenni Walden says “Nothing could compare to what this trip showed me, as a mother, as a leader, as a member of the community.”

For Jenni and her son Mitchell, 17, their 15-day trek in March was more than just than just an adventure. It was to honour a Scouting brother.

At only 17 years of age, the death of Nick Sangston in 2016 left a “massive hole” at the First Cranbourne Scout Group where Jenni was also a group leader.

Nick and Mitchell were close scouting friends and just two days prior to Nick’s death by suicide the pair had made a pact that they would climb Mt Everest together one day.

“As time passed, Mitchell was determined to bring this dream to reality,” says Jenni.

“At the request of the family we took Nick’s replica Australian Scout Medallion to our highest point - Mt Everest Base camp, 5836 meters above sea level. The next day we made it down to the memorial park to lay the medallion.”

With the support of their fellow trekkers gathering behind them, Jenni said: “Our thoughts were silent as we reflected on a life lost to us too soon.”

Their group of 12 trekkers consisted of five Australians and seven Americans. They also had a guide and an assistant guide.

As they climbed higher, the effects of altitude became more apparent. “The lack of oxygen meant that walking became so much

Jenni and Mitchell found their dietary choices were limited to just vegan foods and their accommodation was were so basic, the walls were paper thin, says Jenni.

Climbing to the foothills of Everest has been Jenni’s biggest challenge yet. Every step was in slow motion, she says with “one foot in front of the other” in the face of windy and dusty conditions.

“We discovered so much about ourselves, about others and also about how those in a third world country live/survive.”

“I think when you have had time to reflect and had a dozen hot showers, you realise just how amazing it all was and to honour a fellow scout in the way we did gave the trip a real sense of purpose,” Jenni says.

Awards up for grabs Five everyday heroes have been nominated by the City of Casey community for a new community recognition and grants program.

Westfield Fountain Gate will award $10,000 grants apiece to three winners from each organisation on August 13.

The Westfield Local Heroes initiative seeks to discover and celebrate local people and organisations whose work benefits the local area.

Westfield Fountain Gate Centre Manager Cathy Main said, "We have been overwhelmed by the incredible nominations received from the City of Casey community, and the heartwarming stories shared."

The finalists include Sikh Volunteers Aus-

tralia volunteer Sukhwinder Kaur, Tori Norris from YMCA (The Young Men's Christian Association), Manager of Cranbourne Information and Support Service Leanne Petrides, social worker Sylvia Ryan from Berwick Secondary College for her invaluable work for the school's Student Support Team, and Community Engagement Leader Kathryn Sharp from Tulliallan Primary School for her tireless work for improving the academic and social achievements of the students.

If Ms Kaur is announced as a Westfield Local Hero, the grant would be used to increase resources and attract more volunteers to Sikh Volunteers Australia.

MS Norris said the grant would fund the YMCA's Open Doors initiative, to assist those people who cannot afford YMCA services, to gain access. It would put approximately twenty people, adults and children, through health and wellbeing and/or swimming programs.

A CISS Flexible Support Options Program would be formed if Ms Petrides took out the award which would provide emergency relief support in a variety of flexible ways.

Mental Health First Aid training would be funded for all teaching staff and student leaders, over a two-year period at Berwick Secondary College if Ms Ryan was awarded the grant.

Ms Sharp said if she was announced as a

local hero, the grant would go towards supporting AEL families, providing parenting programs, develop more information sessions, conduct family day initiatives and more.

Westfield is now calling on the public once more to help determine the three Westfield Local Heroes by casting their vote on the Westfield Fountain Gate website.

"Ten-thousand dollars can make a big difference to the social wellbeing and harmony of our community, so we urge people to vote for the change and good-will they wish to see," said Ms Martin.

Public voting is open until 1 July at https:// www.westfield.com.au/fountaingate.

No chicken at big chill

By Brendan Rees Being a butcher, Brian Rollason is used to coolroom temperatures but that was nothing compared to when he was showered in buckets of ice-cold water.

The owner of Brian's Gourmet Meats in Lyndhurst was motivated to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) after his cousin was diagnosed late last year.

Brian and his wife, Angela organised a fundraising event on Saturday 16 June by hosting a sausage sizzle at their store, which raised close to $1,050 for MND research.

Angela said the response to the event was amazing.

"It was a really good turnout, with lots of community people from Cranbourne and Lyndhurst," she said.

She said about 200 sausages were sold in just an hour and a half, with people also donating $20 notes in a collection tin.

The community watched on as staff members tipped 20 litres of water mixed with bags of ice over Brian as he sat on a chair outside the store.

"We made him sit a chair; he wanted to stand and we said 'No,'" said Angela.

"He just said yep, 'That's bloody cold," she added after the ice bucket challenge.

With plastic bags now out, a volunteer group in Cranbourne East has joined a growing movement in sewing reusable bags to help with the change.

Balla Balla Community Centre is doing its bit to cut plastic pollution by making Boomerang bags.

A group will meet weekly from 17 July for 10 weeks in making re-usable bags out of recycled material, then donate them free to community groups.

Manager Maree Cullinan said the project was a grassroots, community driven movement tackling plastic pollution at its source.

"We believe this project will provide a warm and friendly environment where people can come in, have a chat, make new friend, whilst producing these much needed Boomerang Bags," she said.

"Boomerang Bags provide a free, fun, sus-

tainable alternative to plastic bags.

The idea of the bags is that people can return them whenever they're no longer needed, she added.

She said the centre chose to fund the project to help teach people sewing skills, and encourage others who may be at home looking for a sense of purpose.

"It does not matter if you can or cannot sew, the program will be facilitated by an experienced teacher who will teach the art of sewing to those who want to learn.

"It is a great opportunity to come together and be part of how our community can change to manage this issue," she said.

Ms Cullinan said the centre was also on the lookout for donations of sewing machines and leftover fabrics that can be turned into fashionable bags.

The group will meet on Tuesday 17 July from 9.30am-12.30pm.

When selecting a secondary school, parents need to feel confident in not only what that school can deliver in Year 7, but how the school can provide a stimulating learning environment across the six years.

As a parent himself, St Peter's College Principal Mr Chris Black has experienced the process and the 'relative anxieties associated with it.'

"Here at St. Peter's College, our focus for a Year 7 student is on the transition from primary to secondary school," Mr Black said.

"A successful transition process is one where students quickly adjust to change, where they feel safe and happy in their school environment and who are actively engaged in their learning as well as comfortable in nourishing old friendships and exploring new friendships.

"Our desire is for students to run excitedly through St. Peter's College gates to commence their secondary schooling, and walk out at the end of Year 12 with confidence, a sense of purpose and feeling positive about the next chapter in their lives."

Mr Black envisages that the 21st-century learner will enter the next part of their journey, beyond the gates of St Peter's College, into an uncertain world.

"Government policy, economists and the workplace are demanding a skill-set inclusive of the following: critical thinking, effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively and creatively. It is incumbent on St Peter's College to provide opportunities for our students to engage and excel in these

St Peter’s strives to deliver a dynamic, active learning environment. areas," he said.

"At St. Peter's College we aspire to develop the whole person, academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually to meet these challenges. This is witnessed and actioned through honouring our three pillars: faith, education and service."

Focusing on the pillar of education, St Peter's strives to deliver a dynamic, active learning environment that caters for diverse student needs.

"Our aim is always to prepare students to be articulate, confident and have the skill-set to become global citizens. This includes the necessary academic skills as well as the necessary 'work-ready skills' to enable our students to take the necessary next steps in life's journey," Mr Black said.

St Peter's welcomes all prospective parents to join them on a student-led campus tour.

PROPERTY NEWS

VIEW NAMES NEW CHIEF AUSTRALIA’S third largest property listing site has announced the appointment of Toby Balazs as the new chief executive officer of VIEW.com.au (formerly RealestateVIEW.com. au) effective 16 July 2018.

Mr Balazs will take over from VIEW’s Enzo Raimondo, who has been closely involved with the property listing portal for over 16 years, first as CEO of Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) and later taking over as CEO of RealestateVIEW in 2016.

Mr Balazs joins VIEW having served as a key member of REA’s leadership and online strategy teams since 2004.

Announcing Toby’s appointment, VIEW chairman John Piccolo described Mr Balazs as a dynamic thinker and leader.

“His track record in executing transformative digital programs has been exceptional and he embodies VIEW’s values of innovation, integrity and fostering strong family ideals”, he said.

“VIEW’s continued mission to make property buying more intuitive, easier to understand and informative will only be intensified with Toby joining the team.”

Reflecting on his appointment, Mr Balazs said he was honoured and excited to have been selected to lead this rapidly evolving company.

“VIEW has a great culture, an increasingly broad capability in the market and a winning strategy that has enabled VIEW to grow strongly. Growing VIEW from the third largest player is a challenge I accept with both confidence and determination,” he said.

“I am committed to continuing VIEW’s momentum based on a differentiated offering, which is resonating strongly in the market - by offering lower fees for real estate agents to list property, and importantly, delivering consumers an exceptional level of real estate industry information on a platform that is free and easy to use."

New VIEW chief executive Toby Balazs.

Mr Balazs joins VIEW as it continues to roll out the stimulating rebrand and new site experience.

The next round of transformations to be released in Spring 2018 are focused on providing richer search metrics and making property research easier and more informative.

VIEW’s recent launch of Property-360, a Price Estimate tool for over 13 million properties across Australia, offers agents and consumers the ability to track the value of a residence and instantly calculate its estimated price.

The feature allows users to adjust the value of a residence by adding bedrooms, bathrooms or car spaces.

The rebrand also includes an editorial partnership with Independent Media Publishers (IMP) including Star News Group that now allows view.com.au to provide upto-date property insights and commentary that are invaluable to those living in regional areas as well as property developers.

In 2018, VIEW maintains a nimble and disruptive culture designed to keep pace with a rapidly changing real estate market. ●

“Our main office is in Narre Warren but we always had plans to open up another office in the Clyde North area,” Mr Sarwari said. “Cranbourne North is great placement as it covers four different suburbs (Cranbourne North, Clyde North, Berwick and Narre Warren South).“We’re a family orientated business.

Cranbourne isn’t a franchise; it’s an extension of Narre Warren. We will never (put) the offices against each other ... so we’re growing in that sense. The Cranbourne office is available to all staff, as is the Narre Warren office ... This also provides opportunities for vendors as they can advertise in two separate locations and receive higher exposure.”

Only Estate Agents are located at Shop 3, 2-10 William Thwaites Boulevard in Cranbourne North.

every child will make a plasticine creation to take home. The session starts at 1.30pm.

To book for these and other events go to Eventbrite and search for CCCLC-School Holiday Program.

Safe holiday road travels The Transport Accident Commission is reminding drivers to look out for themselves and others on the roads during the winter school holidays.

As families hit the roads to entertain kids before cabin fever sets in, there are a few simple things drivers can do to ensure a safe journey.

TAC Road Safety director Samantha Cockfield said everyone had a role to play to make sure every journey on Victoria’s road was safe.

Ms Cockfield reminded motorists to be alert when driving, with wintry conditions increasing dangers on the road.

“Safe journeys, even shorter ones, start with planning,” Ms Cockfield said.

“Ensuring your vehicle’s safety is crucial during winter months. Check that your tyres and brakes are in good condition and all your lights are working.

“Black ice, fog, mist, rain, wind and land slips are all potential hazards when driving during winter months.

“People should slow down and drive to the conditions, allowing a safe distance between you and the car in front,” she said.

Ms Cockfield said it was important that people heading off for a longer trip during the holidays ensured they were prepared.

“Fatigue and speed are common factors to crashes on the roads during school holiday periods.

“Starting well rested and planning your route so that you can take your time and drive to the conditions becomes even more important when road conditions are poor.

“Turn your headlights on, even during the day, and allow plenty of travel time.”

Roos lock away their man

By Nick Creely Officer has taken another step in shoring up its future with highly regarded senior coach Doug Koop putting pen to paper on a new deal to stay at Starling Road until the end of the 2021 season.

The club - which initially signed Koop to a two-year deal with a trigger clause of extending to a third season - has now opted to lock away their man and assistant coach King for a further two seasons on top, extending their time at the club until the end of 2021.

Koop is well known for playing 44 VFL/ AFL games with South Melbourne, North Melbourne and Melbourne, as well as a stint with Woodville in the SANFL. He also has a rich coaching history in the league, guiding Cranbourne to a famous 2011 premiership, before a stint with Dromana in the MPNFL in 2014/15. After a year away from coaching, Koop joined the Kangaroos at the beginning of the 2017 season with his loyal assistant Billy King, instantly improving the club's standards both on and off-field.

In Koop's first season at the helm, the Kangaroos finished seventh on the SEFNL table, finishing just two games out of the finals.

Kangaroos president Nick McLennan told the News that the signing of Koop and King only adds to a stable future for the club moving forward.

"One thing that our club has been screaming out for is stability," he said.

"Over the last few years the committee has worked hard to establish a solid foundation off-field; however player retention and recruitment has been a long standing issue for our club, as well as many other clubs in SEFNL due to the uncertainty about the future of football in the region.

Doug Koop addresses his Officer players in a match last season.

Picture: ROB CAREW

From left to right: Sean Roach (director of football), Doug Koop (senior coach) and Nick McLennan (president) have shored up the club's future going forward.

"For us this was compounded by the uncertainty of our coaching team following the 2016 season."

McLennan explained that extending the contracts of their coaching team for a further three years will eventually yield positive onfield results as they continue to build an exciting young side, with the Kangaroos currently sitting in fifth spot with four wins and four losses, leaving them better placed than previous years for a long-awaited finals appearance.

"The club and committee have great faith in Doug and William as a coaching team which is reflected in this decision," he said.

"When seeking to appoint a coach in the lead up to the 2017 season, the club was well aware of their coaching credentials, but having witnessed them first hand over the past 18 months we are very comfortable in extending their time at Starling Rd. "This decision is also one which has been made out of respect to our players and supporters.

"Now that we have an understanding as to where our football is to be played in 2019 and beyond it was only fair that some certainty regarding the clubs internal structures was put in place.

"It is an extremely exciting time to be part of the part of the OSFC and this decision now enables us to turn our attention to the retention of our playing group as we continue to build and improve performances on field."

Koop said that he is looking forward to continuing to develop his young list for a further three years, and hopes the club can taste the "ultimate success" in the next few years as they forge a new path.

"We are excited that our future pathway lies with the Yarra Ranges Football League," he said.

"We believe we are developing a strong mindset and game plan to become a very competitive team that will pursue the ultimate success in a more even competition based on where our club is at this present time.

"The support and desire for success from the players and committee made it a very easy decision to extend our time at Officer Senior Football Club and continue our drive to take our club to the business end of the season more often than our recent history."

Casey hits Coburg for six to continue its impressive run

By Hayley Wildes The Casey Demons continued their impressive run of form with a resounding win over the winless Coburg Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday afternoon.

In less than perfect conditions, the Demons were a class above their opponents, completely dominating the contest after quarter-time.

Sam Weideman kicked the opening goal of the game and it was an ominous sign of things to come. Billy Stretch and Jay Kennedy-Harris were busy in the opening term, but the Lions were well and truly in the contest as the Demons owned a 17-point lead at the first break.

Coburg was unable to stay with Casey for much longer though.

Oskar Baker put through a major just one minute into the second term and from there, it was all Casey.

The Demons outscored the Lions five goals to one in the term, including back-to-back majors to Weideman, as the Demons took total control with their cleaner ball use.

Stretch was enjoying a day out; his two goals and 18 disposals in the first-half ripped Coburg to shreds.

A 43-point half-time lead was quickly added to when Weideman slotted his fourth major of the day just minutes into the third quarter. His work wasn't complete though. Two more goals in the quarter gave him six majors to threequarter time and Casey held a 61-point lead.

The wet and slippery conditions continued, but the Demons took it in their stride as the likes of Dion Johnstone and Tom Bugg got heavily involved in the contest.

Weideman's dominance continued in the final term as he kicked his seventh major early in the quarter and when captain Jack Hutchins, who excelled in a different role up forward, kicked his third goal of the day, the Demons were 68 points in front.

Casey eventually ran out 16.12 (108) to 4.7 (31) winners to claim a sixth win on the trot in impressive fashion.

Sam Weideman (seven goals) was the star of the day in trying conditions for a tall forward.

His strong hands and smarts around goal gave the Coburg defence plenty of headaches. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Billy Stretch (#15) celebrates a first-half goal with teammates. 182158 Sam Frost was a pillar in defence, while Billy Stretch, Jay Kennedy-Harris and Tom Bugg all collected 27 disposals each, punishing the Lions at every opportunity.

The win sees Casey (8-2) sit second, just percentage behind Richmond for top spot on the ladder.

A crucial match-up with Essendon awaits

the Demons this weekend at RAMS Arena in Craigieburn. With the Bombers sitting third, one win behind the Demons, neither team can afford a slip up.

‘The Long Walk’ returns

By Nick Creely Saturday night will be special event for all involved with both Doveton and Narre Warren, with 'The Long Walk' set to once again grace AJ Robinson Reserve in celebration of Indigenous culture.

The Indigenous game is back again for the second consecutive year, and despite the fortunes of both clubs on-field, it's set to be an exciting spectacle.

There will be a range of family and cultural activities from 12pm onwards, with the Indigenous round game between the two clubs to kick-off at 6pm under lights.

It's been almost 14 years since Essendon legend Michael Long embarked on a historic trek, walking from his home in Melbourne all the way to Parliament House in Canberra to put Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues back on the national agenda.

It has since become a mission of hope for many Australians from all walks of life, and has most notably been one of the headline events prior to the annual Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond.

Nova Peris Kneebone - a former Indigenous athlete - will be in attendance, and a former Essendon player is also a chance of making an appearance.

As for the senior game itself, both sides currently sit on opposite ends of the SEFNL table, with Narre Warren sitting on top with just the one loss next to their name, while Doveton are winless and currently sitting last.

The two sides met back in Round 5, with the Magpies - having 12 individual goalkickers - winning by 106-points at Kalora Park.

Only metres away, the netballers will battle it out from 6.15pm, both in need of a win to keep their top-three hopes alive.

the 1920s?

18. WHO set a new record for most AFL career games played during 2016?

The Dandenong Stingrays continue to go from strength to strength, claiming their fifth win in a row after taking care of the Greater Western Victoria Rebels at Shepley Oval on Saturday.

The Rays, who were again without a host of stars due to Vic Country commitments, came out on a mission in the first quarter and by half-time, the game was all but over.

A 29-point quarter-time lead was the result of hard work and a real thirst for the contest.

Debutant Josh Jackson scored the first goal of the game with his first kick in TAC Cup football and the goals flowed from there.

Bailey Schmidt booted two first quarter goals and it was a sign of things to come as the big man went on to dominate proceedings.

By the 10-minute mark of the second quarter, Schmidt and Stephen Cumming had three goals each and were proving too big and too skilled for their Rebel opponents.

The pair booted one more each late in the term to stretch Dandenong's lead out to 59 points at the main break.

With the forwards feasting, Ed Cahill, Lachlan McDonnell and captain Campbell Hustwaite were doing a mountain of work in the middle.

After half-time, the Rebels lifted their intensity around the ball and Dandenong struggled to convert in front of goal, only managing 3.9 (27) for the second half.

The damage was well and truly done though as the Rays ran out 15.16 (106) to 7.5 (47) winners.

Bailey Schmidt's game was all class as he dominated in the ruck and when he went forward. His fine set shot goal kicking was on display as he made the most of his opportunities, finishing with four majors.

Stephen Cumming (four goals) was also impressive, sharing ruck duties with Schmidt. He took plenty of strong marks in the wet and slippery conditions and showed his composure in front of goal.

It was an impressive debut for Josh Jackson, who booted three goals and looked dangerous every time he went near the ball.

Stephen Cumming dominated in the ruck as Dandenong claimed another win. 181553 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Ed Cahill and Lachlan McDonnell provided plenty of attacking forays and in testing conditions were sublime with ball in hand.

The Rays boast a 9-1 record and sit two games clear on top of the ladder as they ride this five-game winning streak.

The five wins on the trot are made all the more impressive when you consider they've done it without many stars players who have been away on Vic Country commitments. It's just another nod to Dandenong's incredible player development and depth.

There are no TAC Cup games this weekend, with the Rays returning to action on Saturday, 7 July against the Geelong Falcons at Shepley Oval. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Eagles end Narre’s streak

By Nick Creely SOUTH EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 9 "It was a really tough game, in really tough conditions, and it was two good sides simply not giving an inch."

Cranbourne coach Stephen O'Brien couldn't have summed up his side's blockbuster clash against Narre Warren at Kalora Park any better.

In the end, it was a tale of the Magpies' wasted opportunities that resulted in their first defeat of 2018 and a clean Eagles side that were extremely efficient in their front half, 7.10 (52) to 5.13 (43).

The Eagles' pace worried Matt Shinners and the Magpies early, and with the likes of Brandon Wapshott, Shaun Marusic and Jordan Bertrand razor sharp with their kicking, the visitors surged out to an eight-point quarter time lead after looking ominous on the outside.

In a match-up that was entertaining, fierce but fair, Jesse Davies was given the task of quelling Marc Holt, and did his best to restrict him to just one goal in the opening term.

Despite drawing even in the midfield battle, the Magpies uncharacteristically turned the ball over inside 50, but the importance of Michael Collins, Mitch Cox and Dylan Quirk kept the home side within striking distance.

The Magpies certainly had their chances to strike in the second term, but butchered several straight forward chances in front of goal, before Collins produced a moment of magic, snapping a goal from virtually over his head out of nothing to give the home side the lead.

But on the other end, Holt was causing serious headaches, booting the final two goals of the half - one from a snap from a tight angle - to recapture the lead and give the shivering Eagles fans plenty of voice as the rain set in.

Needing an answer to what loomed as a potential onslaught, Collins once again showcased his immense skill, caressing the ball from the arc of 50 with a wet ball straight through the goals.

Marc Holt came off after a heavy bump moments later that eventually saw him sit the rest of the third term on the pine, and it seemed momentum was swinging the way of the home side, with Collins putting his body on the line to tap the ball into the hungry arms of Nick Scanlon, who goaled on the three quarter time siren.

They threw everything they had at the Eagles to keep their unbeaten run alive, but Holt stood tall once again to boot a goal that put the margin beyond reach, while a brilliant defensive effort, led superbly by Dillan Bass and Glenn Osborne, managed to hold the dangerous Magpies at bay in a tremendous display.

"The way we held up in the last quarter was outstanding - we've had a pretty new leadership group this year, and to see these guys take the ownership and drive the standards on the ground, it was pivotal to the result," O'Brien said of his leaders.

Jesse Davies could certainly hold his head high in his battle with Holt, but eventually his power and experience took hold in a commanding display that sees him just nine goals away from the 1000-goal mark.

"It was a great contest, he's a proud man Holty, and he was disappointed in last week, and he was crucial to us," he said.

Conversion became the key component that decided the eventual nine-point margin, something not lost on O'Brien.

"It sorts of swings in roundabouts - early this year, when we played them, we weren't able to capitalise the way we liked, and on Saturday, Narre were unable to, in those sorts of conditions it becomes pretty crucial," he said.

But the midfield battle - led by debutant Jake Stephens - eventually swung the Eagles way after wearing the Magpies down through run and carry by the likes of Ryan Jones and Luke Bee-Hugo, who picked up a stack of the footy.

"We rate ourselves pretty highly in the stoppage area, and it was a bit of a head to head battle in there, and it was pretty even," O'Brien said.

"At times we were able to move the ball pretty well, and even in those conditions, it wasn't all just about getting the ball forward as quickly as possible, we needed a bit of comcranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Marc Holt was pumped after kicking one of his four goals on Saturday. 182157 posure, and it gave our forwards a pretty good look.

"It was his (Stephens') first senior game of footy, and that's eight debutants now for the year - Jakey was nervous coming into the game, but we told him to go out and just compete.

"That's what he did, and I thought he played a crucial role for us in the end."

Down at Holm Park, Berwick routinely knocked off Beaconsfield in the 'Battle of the Creek' clash at Holm Park on Saturday, 5.12 (42) to 2.7 (19).

As was the case in all games across the weekend, rain and heavy wins certainly had its say, but the Wickers put the screws on defensively after half time to restrict the Eagles to just two-points while kicking three themselves to walk away 23-point winners.

The great rivals certainly threw everything they had at each other, but the class and experience of the Wickers came to the fore at the crunch times in the second half.

"We certainly started well, and we adjusted well to the conditions early, but we were

worked over a bit in the second and went into half-time level pegging which was a bit disappointing and we undid some hard work," Kemperman said of the first half.

It was a brilliant defensive display led by the impassable Jo West, who rallied his side to shut down Leigh McQuillan's attacking forwards such as Taylor Joyce and Nathan Langley, while the injury to champion big man Scott Meyer certainly didn't do the home side any favours.

"We stepped it up a little bit from there (the first half) - we certainly lifted our intensity around the contest, and we simplified a few things, and we set up a little bit better around stoppages," Kemperman said.

"That all meant we could have a better impact on the scoreboard, and our defence was strong across the ground."

As for the Wickers' form, Kemperman is confident that a win over their rivals can start to find the run that made them the most dominant side in recent memory last year.

"We're getting there, we're starting to get some players back from injury which helps, so we're starting to find the right balance for us, so we're slowly building," he said.

Picture: ROB CAREW "We haven't got one of those scalps yet, so we're hunting that this week."

Pakenham, meanwhile, did just enough to overcome a spirited Doveton outfit at Toomuc Reserve on Saturday, 11.11 (77) to 8.10 (58).

In a game that actually had more importance than it probably would have before the start of the season, the Lions now draw within six-points of Officer in fifth as a result of the win over the Doves.

The Doves battled manfully to give themselves a sniff by slamming on four goals to two in the third term, but Ash Green's side played the percentages in the final term to shut the game away with some dour defensive efforts, running out 19-point winners.

On a promising day for both sides, Steven O'Bryan was in vintage touch for the Lions, while the form of James Harrison (three goals), Adam Alberni (two goals) and Jafar Ocaa is a major tick for a side keeping pressure on the finals race.

In the final game of the round, TooradinDalmore and Officer shared the points in a tense 6.11 (47) to 6.11 (47) afternoon down by the Westernport.

By Hayley Wildes EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 1 - ROUND 10 Rowville claimed a crucial win over Blackburn at Morton Park. With both teams fighting it out for the final top four spot on the ladder, Rowville got off to a hot start and held off the home side, 10.8 (68) to 7.8 (50), despite not kicking a goal in the final term.

Noble Park was overrun by the Roos at East Ringwood, falling 14.10 (94) to 9.9 (63). The Bulls had Hudson Thomas (five goals) stand up in the forward line, while Kyle Martin's impressive run of form continued.

MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN DIVISION 2 - ROUND 11 Chelsea flexed its muscles and overcame a spirited Devon Meadows by 27 points at Glover Reserve on Saturday, 13.11 (89) to 9.8 (62).

The Panthers made the most of their chances in the opening term to lead by two points, but the Seagulls brought the heat to kick three unanswered goals in the second.

After half time, the visitors did what they needed to do, kicking eight goals to six to run away with a comfortable win.

Troy Aust was the star for the Panthers, while Allan Murray also snared two goals and Cal O'Hare was once again prominent.

Down at RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye was far too strong for Pearcedale, 14.16 (100) to 7.7 (49).

The Panthers stuck with the Dees for a half, but the home side powered away with a dominant second half.

SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 10 Keysborough returned to the winners list with a massive 20.14 (134) to 8.8 (56) away win over Mount Waverley.

Chris Bryan (eight goals) and Matthew Carnelley (five goals) starred for the Burras in an offensive masterclass.

The Doveton Eagles obliterated Clayton, 25.11 (161) to 6.5 (41), as Darren Sheen ran riot with seven goals. A ruthless 15-goal to one second half provided the Eagles with a massive percentage boost to claim top spot on the ladder.

DIVISION 3 - ROUND 9 Springvale Districts claimed a hard-fought win over Endeavour Hills, 6.8 (44) to 3.8 (26).

Jack Allender and Steven Comino were sublime for Springvale Districts, while Ben Holland and Ben Swift battled hard for the Falcons.

played inspired footy for Hallam.

Lady Cavs suffer first loss

By Hayley Wildes It was an action packed weekend of Big V basketball for the Casey Cavaliers, with mixed results across the board.

The State Championship Men went 1-1, claiming a strong home win over McKinnon on Saturday, before falling to Eltham on the road on Sunday.

In a tremendous team effort against McKinnon, the Cavs answered every challenge on their way to a 103-96 win. Casey had six players score in double figures, led by Matt Donlan (27 points) and Raheem Lemons (15 points, 13 rebounds).

On Sunday, Casey almost completed a furious comeback against Eltham. Trailing by 16 points after three quarters, the Cavs almost pulled off the impossible, but fell agonisingly short, 93-90. Raheem Lemons (16 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists) and Ben Louis (18 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals) were sublime.

The Cavs sit seventh on the ladder with a 9-7 record.

The Division 1 Women's team had a disappointing weekend, dropping two games after heading into the round riding a seven-game winning streak.

A 65-81 loss to Warrnambool on Saturday night was compounded by a 56-40 loss to Western Port on Sunday.

The Cavs struggled to find their offensive groove in both games. Tanarly Hood and Jamie-Lee Jeffs (15 points each) top-scored for Casey against Warrnambool. Against Western 34 STAR NEWS

Port, no player reached double figures and the team went 0/17 from deep.

Despite the disappointing weekend, Casey sits second with a 13-4 record.

The Youth League 1 Men bounced back from a loss on Saturday night to grab a muchneeded win on Sunday.

Casey put up a fight against Warrandyte, but fell 90-82. Brendon Head (28 points, 10 rebounds) was incredible for the Cavs, but it wasn't quite enough.

Taking on the bottom-placed Coburg Giants, Casey snapped its seven-game losing streak with an 88-82 victory at home.

Jordan Gooiker (21 points) top-scored for the Cavs, while three others scored 16 points or more in a terrific team effort. The Cavs sit 10th on the ladder, with a 6-11 record.

All good things must come to an end. That was the case for the Youth League 2 Women 'Lady Cavs' as they were handed their first loss of the season by Southern Peninsula, 69-52.

The Cavs' offence stalled for the first time this season, but Lauren Tuplin (20 points, 7 rebounds) battled hard. Despite the loss, Casey is two wins clear on top with a 12-1 record.

The State Championship Men play at Casey Stadium on Saturday night from 8pm against competition leaders Ringwood.

In the game of the round, the Youth League 2 Women face Pakenham at Cardinia Life in a Saturday night top of the table clash from 5pm.
