■ Monash may be better, but local roads are still clogged, so let’s...
Finish the job! By Andrew Cantwell
Traffic chaos on Thompsons Road in Cranbourne North is a regular headache for motorists. 163062 Narrow, bordered by power lines and drains and the scenes of frequent accidents, roads like Clyde Road have been shamefully neglected in the haste for urban expansion. While in Lyndhurst, the increasing number of motorists on their daily commute means speeds along the ever-busy Thompsons Road drop to almost a third of normal travel speeds in peak times. Nearby Pound Road is little better. Our suburban arterials are woefully inadequate for the volume of traffic trying to take advantage of the new Monash lanes and speed limits. And there are few workable alternative
routes for when the Monash is out of action. A recent crash on the Monash near Beaconsfield brought Melbourne-bound traffic to a stop, while outbound traffic came to a crawl as motorists slowed to cop a look at the wreckage. There is much work to be done. And we want your help in pushing government to commit to prioritising works in the South Eastern growth areas, where some of Australia’s fastest growing suburbs and municipalities are located. In the lead-up to the State Election on 24 November, we’re asking you to list the roads you consider the most congested in the South East.
FACTORY DIRECT BLINDS FOR LESS
Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS We intend to share your pain with the parties and contenders vying for your vote and ask what they intend to do about it. Each and every week until the election we’re going to share your stories, ask the hard questions of government, the parties and the candidates, and then share their responses with you. The South East needs a better deal on roads, deserves a better deal and must get proper and appropriate financial commitments from those who seek power in your name. We’ll do our best to find out what’s on offer, and your votes can help seal the deal. Turn to pages 4-5 for more.

In July, the State Government proudly trumpeted that the Monash was open for business - all lanes on the $400m revamp open and speeds were back to 100km/h … you could have been forgiven for thinking all our transport woes were solved. But ask any commuter in the South East who relies on access to the Monash, who weaves their way through suburban ratruns, cramped side streets and traffic bottlenecks to either start or end their daily commute or who try to get their kids dropped off or picked up at school times … the work on fixing our roads is far from finished. Congested feeder roads and side streets waste hours - and collectively, years - of people’s lives each week in an issue that has long been identified as critical to the productivity and prosperity of workers and businesses alike. Each working day in the South East, the stress is written afresh on the faces of thousands of annoyed and helpless drivers. In Pakenham, recent freeway works to install on-ramp signals has meant traffic in the morning peak is now banked up along Cardinia and McGregor roads - back to the Princes Highway at times - as commuters queue to await their turn at the lights. The on-ramp lights are an added frustration to motorists already fed up with having to negotiate the level crossings on those roads - a situation that is bound to get worse when the Metro Trains marshalling yards at Pakenham East are opened. Around Berwick and Cranbourne, roads which were built many decades ago and that were suited to orchards, market gardens, horse paddocks and hobby farming, are now asked to handle traffic from ever-expanding housing estates.

Police have caught a hoon driving on the wrong side of a road in Lyndhurst on Thursday 9 August. Police attempted to intercept the driver after detecting a Holden Commodore travelling at 75km/h on Glasscocks Road about 7.15am. It's alleged the driver then drove the car on the wrong side of the road before travelling in the incorrect direction over a roundabout in an attempt to evade police. Police intercepted the driver, a 25 year-old male from Springvale, a short time later and his vehicle was then impounded under the hoon legislation. He expected to be charged on summons.
Caught speeding through road works A P-plater has been caught more than 50 km/h over the limit in Cranbourne West on Wednesday the 8 August. The 22-year-old man was nabbed travelling 111km/h in a 60 km/h zone through roadworks on the Western Port Highway at 8pm. Police pulled over the Mitsubishi and the driver's car was immediately impounded for a month. Police allege the driver had disclosed it was not the first time he had had a vehicle impounded. "Of most concern to the driver was how he was going to explain this to the vehicles owner who now has to walk to work," a Victoria Police spokesman said. He expected to be charged on summons with speeding.
Police seized a number of items including imitation firearms and a military assault rifle.
Pilot program lands dust problem
Fourteen people were arrested following a number of alleged serious incidents in the south-eastern suburbs.
A man is arrested during the police raids.
The Southern Metro Crime Team arrested a further 10 people on Friday 10 August who are currently being interviewed by police. Detective Inspector Shayne Pannell said the arrests were the result of ongoing work into a number of alleged serious incidents in the south eastern suburbs over the past two weeks. "We want to reassure the community that these kinds of offences are a priority for us and we have been putting a lot of resources into
this operation," said D/ Insp Pannell. "We know these kinds of incidents can be a terrifying experience for anyone, which is why when they do occur we commit all of our efforts into identifying and arresting offenders. "The safety of the community is the highest priority for police and we'll continue to focus on holding offenders to account whilst maintaining a highly visible police presence in order to prevent crime from occurring."
A deluge of dust from a market garden in Pearcedale has been dampened after the Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) received complaints from residents. Casey's Officers for the Protection of the Local Environment (OPLE) began investigating the market garden after 13 residents reported to the council that high levels of dust were infiltrating their homes. OPLE officer Will Mosley said he found large dust particles that required remedial action and issued a Pollution Abatement Notice. "Residents reported they were having to spending thousands of dollars on cleaning because of the dust," he said. "It was affecting the residents' liveability but the council didn't have the necessary regulatory power or compliance measures to address it - which is where EPA could assist." The Pollution Abatement Notice was complied with in July and revoked.

Parents won’t stand for it By Brendan Rees School pick-ups and drop-offs has become such a nightmare for parents in Cranbourne that some have resorted to leaving work hours early just to get a park. A number of parents told Star News they were at wits end as traffic continued to clog roads outside Cranbourne East Primary School and Cranbourne East Secondary School. According to one parent, Lauren of Clyde North, who asked not to reveal her surname, she said it was “just craziness in the morning.” “There is no traffic flow,” she said. “I don’t get here till 3.30 to pick up the kids and there’s no way I’ll get a car park within a kilometre of the school. “It should take half the amount of time that it does ... I’ll either have to be here at 2.30 or 3.30,” she said. “They’ve stuck a school in the middle of an estate but there’s no provisions road wise for it.” Lauren also said Bowyer Avenue was too narrow to be a two-way road: “I don’t know what they have this street this way, it doesn’t make any sense.” She added: “It stops because everyone is confused all the time.” City of Casey Deputy Mayor Amanda Stapledon told councillors at their Tuesday 7 August meeting that there was a “legacy of problems” with parking at the schools.
Rabia, 8, gets a ride home with her mum. 183934 “We’ve got no pick-up drop-off areas and we’ve got absolute limited parking and because of that there’s a lot of tensions between drivers,” she said. “The schools are in agreement that we needed to look at some things and we certainly have.” Onsite meetings were held between Casey Council and the schools to discuss their concerns with parking in April and June. Council’s Speed Awareness Mobile Trailer was placed at Bowyer Avenue for a week in May to provide a message to motorists to drive and park in a safe manner. A report before councillors also said the “Local Laws section has undertaken enforcement in June around both schools and issued several infringements.” Hector Rosales of Clyde North said so many parents were disobeying the rules in school zones to dodge traffic. “You see people they get frustrated, they start on the horn, they start swerving around and going above the 40 km/h limit,” he said. “With the congestion you see a lot of dangerous things like people doubled parked ... in

Another parent, Simran of Cranbourne East, who asked not to reveal her surname, said cars were constantly “neck to neck” on Bowyer Avenue during peak times. “If you come after 2.45, there’s no way you’ll get a park,” she said.

Traffic light win By Brendan Rees Traffic flow at a busy Cranbourne intersection just became less of a headache for drivers and not a moment too soon according to one resident. A long-awaited right-turn signal on Camms Road for drivers turning onto South Gippsland Highway opened on Tuesday 31 July by VicRoads. Long-time Camms Road resident Robert Bruce said he had lobbied for the new signal for years and was happy to see it finally installed. “It’s very good,” said Mr Bruce. “It makes a lot of difference for the traffic flow; 20 cars can go around on the green arrow.” “I would say thousands of cars come along Camms Road from Narre Warren Road and now there’s got a chance to turn right to Dandenong.” “It was a very dangerous situation for a head-on smash,” he added. Casey Council Deputy Mayor Amanda Stapledon said it was an “incredible outcome.” “We’re sick of being stuck in traffic and this is one less issue that is going to lower the anxiety levels of our residents,” she said. “No one’s got much time these days and being stuck in traffic is the most counter-productive thing we can have.“ Cr Stapledon thanked council officers and Mr Bruce during a council meeting held on Tuesday 7 August. Councillors also voted to write a letter of appreciation to VicRoads. Metro South East VicRoads Director Operations, Michael Barker said “These signals will make it safer for turning vehicles, pedestrians crossing the road and will reduce the risk of head on crashes.” However, businesses on Camms Road say although the new signal was a welcomed relief, traffic was still chaos during peak hours.

Manager of Tucketts Tyrepower Cranbourne, Daniel Valk says it wasn’t uncommon for traffic to be banked “quite a way” on Camms Road. According to Mr Valk, he had seen people

from his shop driving over the front nature strip to turn left onto High Street from Camms Road. “There is a tree there but people go in between that so they generally take that as a shortcut, mainly the four-wheel-drives,” he said. “I think they really need to rethink that whole intersection and probably cut out some of that nature strip to make it less congested.“ Robert Bruce, of Camms Road said it could take up to 10 minutes to get out of his driveway during peak hours. “It’s getting worse because there’s a lot more houses being built everywhere,” he said.
Have your say on the state of local roads We’re asking for your help in getting local roads congestion on the agenda for this year’s State Election. A special poll is now open where you can nominate the worst congested road in your region. Visit starcommunity.com.au/competitions/ and then click on the link for ’Unblock the Gridlock’. In a few weeks, we’ll be compiling lists of the most congested roads and then asking you to vote for the one that needs fixing most urgently in your area. These lists will be put to the politicians and candidates and their responses printed in the paper before the election in November. Be sure to check out the poll, and if your nightmare road has not been listed here’s your chance to update the list. Keep an eye on our social media pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, too - we’ll be giving you as many chances as possible to nominate those roads. The South East deserves a better deal on roads, so make your voice heard.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On the 13 August the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page shared a story about a Sudanese family celebrating the purchase of their very first home in Clyde North, thanks to the generosity of a joint partnership between the Jireh Foundation and the Bendigo Bank. Here is how some readers reacted online: Elizabeth Cooper: How wonderful what a great achievement Congratulations wishing them much love and happiness in their new home, their very own little piece of Australia Chantelle Renae: Happy for them all. Would love to see Bendigo Bank and all others involved contribute the same amount of money to our veterans who gave their all and receive little to nothing in return. Or maybe our farmers who are struggling and only being given a piddling loan of $12k from good ol' Turncoat. Hayley Iring: Awwww bless look how happy your children are. Mark Mathews: Good luck to them! And congrats. Mark Mathews: They have been here 12 years. I am guessing they work and have been saving also. And the grant has assisted them in getting into the house. I am guessing they also have to repay this money back to the church. Anyway as long as they are decent people which they look it from the photo and law abiding who really cares if the church assisted them? All everyone is worried about is what's in it for me? Why can't I get it? Which is sad really. Tammie Mckill: Good luck to them I wish them all the best. Is this purely just for the African community or can anybody apply? cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

A big win for racecourse By Brendan Rees John McKenzie with family members who will partake in A Walk in the Park event to help improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s Disease. Picture: CONTRIBUTED
Walking tall for Parkinson’s By Brendan Rees Casey Council has endorsed plans for a hotel to be developed at Cranbourne Racecourse. "It will be significant for Cranbourne - it will create enormous economic activity and be a wonderful employer of jobs throughout the region." Mr Bainbridge added: "It will be quite exciting to see what level of interest has sparked from developers." The development will also call for better connections between the racecourse and the Cranbourne town centre as well as local attractions such as the Royal Botanic Gardens. Expressions of interest open today with submissions closing on 24 September 2018. Mr Perera said the proposed hotel would mean" serious business for our region" - creating hundreds of new jobs, boosting businesses and attracting more visitors. "The Racecourse already hosts more than 200 events drawing 430,000 visitors every year. This is a fantastic opportunity to help grow those numbers and strengthen our community." For more information visit tenders.vic.gov. au.
John McKenzie has been battling Parkinson's disease for 10 years but remains determined to keep on moving. "Generally people don't know much about Parkinson's - they just think it's old people who shake," he said. "There's a hell of a lot more involved than that and it's quite debilitating." At 66, the Lyndhurst resident will join thousands of people for Parkinson's Victoria's 10th anniversary A Walk in the Park on Sunday 26 August at Federation Square. Every dollar raised through A Walk in the Park helps to improve the lives of people with Parkinson's. John, who is the founder of Parkinson's Peer Support Group in Cranbourne, says the event will be a poignant reminder of the simple joy of walking that many people with Parkinson's fight to maintain. "My grand-daughter who is six, said 'I want to walk because my granddad is ill and I want to make him better.'" Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement. About 80,000 Australians (or one in every 350 people)
are living with Parkinson's. Every day, a further 30 people are diagnosed with the condition, for which there is currently no cure. John said he had deep brain stimulation -a treatment involving surgical implantation of a medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain. "It was very successful but unfortunately I got an infection golden staph." He says medical staff will "have another go" with the treatment in October. Parkinson's Victoria relies on fundraising to support the delivery of essential services tailored to Victorians living with Parkinson's. The non-competitive walk sets off from Federation Square at 11am and includes 2km and 4km return circuits from Federation Square through Kings Domain "This year, we hope to bring that total to 27,000, which represents the number of Victorians living with Parkinson's." said Emma Collin, CEO of Parkinson's Victoria. To register to walk and fundraise for the Melbourne Walk go to www.parkinsonswalk. org.au.

A new hotel will be built at the Cranbourne Racecourse - creating hundreds of jobs and boosting local tourism. The Andrews Government is calling for expressions of interest from the development sector on the size, type and location of the complex on the popular racecourse site. The development is expected to create up to 450 local jobs during construction and 230 ongoing jobs once operational. Located at the gateway of the South Gippsland and Mornington Peninsula tourism regions, the development will leverage Cranbourne Racecourse's status as a major event hub and the City of Casey's fast-growing population. It's part of a suite of proposed developments outlined in the precinct masterplan including an expanded horse training facility, a major veterinary hospital, a cinema complex and a 1,000seat function and conference centre. The project has an approved planning scheme amendment permitting non-racing activities at the Cranbourne Race Complex and is endorsed by the City of Casey in its masterplan for the precinct. Cranbourne Turf Club chief executive Neil Bainbridge said the project was exciting and would be a "great boost for the area." "At this stage we're very confident the expressions of interest will bear some very good fruit. "Importantly, this will be potentially a significant asset and drawcard for the wider Casey community," he said.

Chisholm nurturing growth By Brendan Rees

A new goal By Brendan Rees A game of netball has helped women from the Hazara community to become more inclusive in Hampton Park. Hampton Park Football and Netball Club welcomed women from the Hazara community to their club during a netball activity morning at Robert Booth Reserve on Friday 10 August. The event is part of a partnership project with the Australian Hazara Women's Friendship Network and community development organisation Community Four. Community Four CEO Gavin Ackerly says it was a great example of how diverse community groups can work together to tackle social challenges. He says the project aimed to assist Hazara women to develop their English language and life skills, as well as bring new members to the Hampton Park Football and Netball club. According to Mr Ackerly, the venture was not about charity but achieving a win-win for both community organisations.
"We worked closely with Zakia Baig, the president of the Australian Hazara Women's Friendship Network, to design this project. She is passionate about expanding the networks of the women in her community," he said. "We agreed that any English language program for Hazara women had to include ways for them to build their networks with the wider Australian community." Mr Ackerly says Community Four approached Hampton Park because of the strong role grassroots football and netball clubs play in bringing communities together. "Hampton Park was our first choice because they have a reputation of being inclusive. Our experience working with them has been very inspiring. They are genuinely committed to diversity." The Hazara Women's English and Lifeskills Project is made possible by the Scanlon Foundation and runs every Friday at the Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre in Dandenong.

High school students from across the south east got a glimpse of how growing tomatoes using energy-smart technology could become the way of the future in feeding Australia. With exams on the horizon, Cranbourne Chisholm TAFE in partnership with the Australian and Traineeship Employment Partners, threw opened its doors to students for an Environmental Careers Day on Wednesday August 8. More than 30 school students took part in hands-on workshops including propagation, paving, and landscaping. They also toured Australia's only greenhouse hydroponic centre to gain an understanding of how our tomato crops were grown using Philips lights and chemistry principals. Nursery and Garden Industry Victoria (NGIV) staff also offered advice to students on career opportunities. Senior Educator of Horticulture at Chisholm TAFE James Davies said the aim of the day was to encourage students to consider a future career in the high-tech production of horticulture. "The horticulture courses at Chisholm form a pathway to apprentice programs and employment," he said. Nursery Industry Policy and Technical Manager of NGIV David Reid said horticulture was a rewarding field of study. "The industry is experiencing a shortage of people with a good knowledge of and passion for plants that can fill the many positions available," he said. "Whether you want to work in a production nursery growing the trees that will cool our cities in a changing climate, or spend your time working with microscopes and tissue cultured plants, horticultural study will get you there, as well as providing you with the foundational knowledge for a diverse range of both academic and the more practical career options.

He said the NGIV placed a high importance on horticultural education opportunities and "we will offer what support we can to those students that have a made learning about plants a part of their future." The open day comes after the State Government announced key TAFE and pre-apprenticeship courses including Certificates II and III in Horticulture would be made free from 2019.

Kids share the joy of story telling By Brendan Rees From making paper boats to creating shapes from monsters and acting, youngsters were limited to their imagination during story-time held at Tooradin Primary School. Catering for tots aged up to four, prep teacher Carly Payne says the story-time sessions are an opportunity for future prep students to experience a classroom environment while enjoying the excitement of stories. During a session held on Monday August 6
August, well-known children's authors included Mem Fox, Pamela Allen and Eric Carle were read to the youngsters. "Story-time introduces pre-school children to the classroom in a relaxed manner through stories; helping them to understand that school is an exciting space for learning, sharing and exploring together," said Ms Payne. She said stories were carefully selected by the prep teachers to extend children's love of literature and interacting with the story by participating in songs and games.

Parents are also able to become familiar with the school and experience their inspired community of learners, Ms Payne added. Teacher Rachel Davis said: "We find it makes a wonderful difference in supporting our preps to settle quickly into the start of their formal schooling and build their confidence in coping with change." “Make sure everyone knows who you are with an aggressive, local campaign. “Don’t pay to impress people on the other side of Melbourne until everyone knows you here.“

Science skills A visit from a leading brain cancer researcher from the CSIRO has inspired students in Hampton Park to pursue their dreams in the field of science. Dr Lars Esser, a postdoctoral research fellow at CSIRO, who works in the field of brain cancer theranostics in collaboration with Monash Biomedical Imaging, dropped in to Rivergum Primary School on Friday 10 August as part of CSIRO's STEM in schools event. The day formed part of National Science Week in helping schools celebrate careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Federal member for Holt Anthony Bryne also visited Rivergum Primary to engage with students about STEM careers and to learn more about Dr Esser's research. "The students and I were privileged to hear from Dr Lars Esser about his important research work with Nanotechnology to help find a cure for Brain Cancer," said Mr Byrne. "We wish Dr Esser every success with his research and hope he finds a cure to this lifethreatening disease. Hopefully after this event more students will be encouraged to learn more about different types of STEM subjects, and exciting STEM careers that lie ahead."

CLUB BRINGS RESIDENTS TOGETHER WHEN Villawood launched its $5 million residents' club at Delaray in Clyde North last week the star of the show was 79-year old great grandmother Marlene Nealon. After 15 years in Berwick, Marlene, who has six sons, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, moved to Delaray in January. Marlene and her beloved dog Sooty featured in a promotional video shown to guests at the club opening. "I feel so comfortable here, it's the whole community feeling," Marlene said. "I take Sooty for a walk every morning. People are working in their gardens, you can stop and talk to them. "There is nothing I like more than taking Sooty and my great-grandchildren to the
park. There are kids of all nationalities and everybody is playing. It's just beautiful." At an age when most people would be moving into a retirement village, Marlene said she wanted to live "where I had lots children around me". "I have five or six backyards which back onto mine. I sit out and listen to the chidren playing. It's wonderful." The residents' club was also one of the reasons Marlene was attracted to Delaray. The architecturally designed residents' club features two swimming pools, a fullyequipped gym, function room and theatrette, library, parents' lounge, community garden, men's shed and tennis court. A cafe will open in the next few month, while a
childcare centre is planned to be built on land next door. Villawood Properties CEO Phil Hanna said the clubhouse model was a way of promoting social inclusiveness and cohesion. He said the club was the "heart and lungs of the community". "By giving our residents more opportunities to connect, through structures such as Club Delaray, the more familiar they become with the people living around them and it fosters a sense of safety, a sense of shared ownership and ultimately a strong
and genuine sense of community." Mr Hanna said Club Delaray represented a $5 million investment in the community. Villawood Properties doesn't make any profit on the facility and the club will become common property once it is completed. It will then be owned by the Owners Corporation. For her part, Marlene said she was looking forward to the cafe opening, borrowing books from the library and meeting even more of her neighbours. "I think I've got a new life in Delaray. I'm not moving from here. I'm happy." ●

A securely let factory at 15-16 Carl Court in Hallam sold for $1.4 million on Wednesday 1 August, delivering new investors an outstanding property and proving that the Hallam Industrial Precinct is the place to be. A crowd of 40 watched two bidders push the 1457 square metre property to $1.32M - at which point the hammer fell passing the property in. Ten minutes after being passed in, the price was negotiated and the property sold reflecting a 6.25 per cent yield. The elevated site includes a freestanding 895 square metre building comprising a 787 square metre concrete panel warehouse with two roller doors and 108 square metre of office space over. The 14 on-site car parks and dual driveways are a bonus for staff,
suppliers and customers. “It’s no wonder businesses and investors are drawn to Hallam,” said Facey Commercial agent Adam Martin. “There’s easy access to the Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland, direct access to the Ports and Tullamarine via the nearby M1 Freeway, and loads of untapped potential.” Long-standing tenants McKean’s Sheetmetal obviously agree. They signed a new five-year lease commencing on 1 July 2018, returning $87,348 per annum plus GST & O/Gs, with 2.5 per cent annual reviews and a further three-year option. Anyone interested in commercial and industrial opportunities in Hallam should contact Adam Martin on 0409 357 352. ●

Kingbird has shown sensitivity to the neighbouring Royal Botanic Gardens and the local fauna with open space throughout this new residential estate. With lots ranging from 281 to 1234 square metres, Kingbird has 514 home sites that will give its residents 14 acres of wetlands and open space, as well as large backyards that many other estates have moved away from.

This will enable more people to achieve their dream new home in a great suburb. Centrally located between the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island and Melbourne CBD, residents will have great access to

FOCUS ON … MEDICALLY SPEAKING
Efficient patient care
Don't ignore stone pain While some smaller kidney stones may pass, South Eastern Urology Urologist Philip McCahy warned that others can be so large that they will not pass and require medical attention. “Up to 15 per cent of the population may develop these stones which can cause recurrent urine infections, and, if left untreated, kidney damage or failure,” Mr McCahy said. Mr McCahy stated that there are three main treatment options for those suffering from large kidney stones. The first is shockwave therapy, a process where external shock waves are focussed on the stone and break it up into small pieces. “We are lucky in the Casey-Cardinia region in that Casey Hospital offers a service unique to Australia with day case, no anaesthetic lithotripsy,” Mr McCahy added. The next treatment is Ureterorenoscopy, a procedure where a very small flexible telescope is passed through natural passages into the kidney where stones are vaporised with a laser. “The urologists at Casey Hospital have the most powerful stone laser available which significantly reduces surgery time and enables better clearance,” Mr McCahy said. Finally, the third treatment Mr McCahy uses is Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, a process where a needle is passed into the kidney from outside and a special balloon stretches the tissues to allow passage of a special telescope into the kidney. “The stones can either be plucked out or broken up and removed,” Mr McCahy explained.
Belgrave Hallam Road Medical Centre is E-Health compliant and able to upload information to patient 'My Health Records.' Important information such as allergies, medical conditions, medications and test results are now digitally available in one place. "Doctor's, specialists and hospitals can view your medical information online from anywhere, anytime with your consent," Belgrave Hallam Road Medical Centre Practice Manager Tracey Cooper said. "The My Health Record System will result in better, faster and more efficient care for patients and their families."
SPECIALIST ORTHODONTIC CLINIC Philip McCahy of South Eastern Urology can help assist people dealing with small and large kidney stones. “Casey Hospital has one of the largest experiences of these operations in the country and the leading surgeons have developed techniques that have reduced hospital stay significantly. “There are pros and cons to all these treatments and a combination of procedures may be required to guarantee stone clearance. Discussion with a urologist with expertise in stone surgery is essential.” South Eastern Urology was established by Philip McCahy to provide consultant delivered local anaesthetic vasectomy service for the south-eastern suburbs.

NEWS
Relax, rejuvenate, succeed By Narelle Coulter In meetings with male CEOs Melanie Gleeson, the founder of Endota Spa, will sometimes cheekily ask them how many loads of washing they put on at home before attending the meeting. The answer, unsurprisingly, is usually none. “I ask that question not to be obnoxious but just to get them thinking ’oh, I didn’t do any’. (Where as) I had to do all that and get here( to the meeting). “ Ms Gleeson used the point to illustrate the difference experiences of men and their female colleagues, most of who are torn between their paid work and their unpaid caring duties at home and not feeling they are “giving 100 per cent to either“. Ms Gleeson, a married mother of two boys, was guest speaker at the fourth annual Casey Cardinia Region Women’s Business Lunch on Friday 10 August. More than 350 women, and a sprinkling of men, listened to Ms Gleeson’s inspirational story of turning $5000 on a credit card into a business which today employs over 1000 people and turns over $60 million. “When I started Endota in 2000 one of the main drivers was to create spaces or havens where people could come to have some time, especially women because we do so much,“ Ms Gleeson said. “We really need to take time to stop and recalibrate because we cannot keep giving and giving and giving when we are not filled up ourselves. “In that process of being mothers and wives and daughters, and it’s the same for the blokes in room, we sometimes forget who we are, what makes us happy and what is really important.“ Ms Gleeson said Endota was born “out of a love for making people feel better“. “Long before I had Endota, somewhere in my subconscious I understood the power of healing and touch and energy transference and what that means.“ When Ms Gleeson embarked on her Endota journey the spa industry in Australia was “very small“ and little understood. “There were only four or five spas in Australia at the time. I was working in one and I would notice that people would rush in and their shoulders would be up here,“ she said, drawing her shoulders up beside her ears. “45 minutes after treatment this would happen,“ she said, slowly lowering her shoulders. “There was a physical change as well as an emotional change that came from slowing down and taking some time. I wanted to be able to take that feeling to more people.“ Ms Gleeson and her then business partner were 26 with “ no idea of what it meant to open your own business“. They attended as many networking events as they could and walked kilometres leaflet dropping trying spread word about their vision. The permit for their first salon on the Mornington Peninsula was knocked back by the local council because objectors thought it was a brothel. “Fast forward 18 years and wellness is big business,“ Ms Gleeson said. “Endota is not a beauty business, it’s a wellness business. We slow people down, we give them care and time and that’s really really important.“ Endota as a business really took off when Ms Gleeson and her partner decided to franchise the concept and “thank goodness we did“. Today there are 110 salons across Australia owned by individual business owners who are part of the Endota “network“. “I’ve been able to work with amazing business owners, the majority of who are women, but who share our values and have invested heavily in the Endota brand,“ Ms Gleeson said. “There is nothing better in your local community than when you have a local business owner who lives and works in the community and cares for that community. That is what has helped build the Endota brand to where we are today.“ She acknowledged some negative publicity Endota received during the recent federal government inquiry into the effectiveness of the 22 STAR NEWS

She welcomed the inquiry as a “good thing“ which had to happen. She said franchising was like running a small business and “what you get out is what you put in“. “The inquiry is a great thing. Every day it reminds everyone to do business the right way“. She said shared values were central to franchising success, as was consistency. “The upsides of franchising as a business model have been amazing. A lot (of Endota franchisees) are multi-site owners. They nurture and care for their team. We also build
pathways for our team so not only can therapists become managers, but they can go on to build their own spas.“ She outlined Endota’s growth plans including new product ranges for babies and menopausal women, wellness colleges in Canberra and Docklands and a wellness hotel in Byron Bay. Ms Gleeson said she had learnt a lot about herself during her business journey. She described her stamina and resilience, how she enjoys change and surrounds herself with “amazing people“.
Star News advertising representative Kelly Price with Lisa Panjkov from Beaconsfield Dental, Sue-Anne Lewis from St Margaret's and Naomi Wright from Source Bulk Foods. 183861 She said she had also learnt that vulnerability is not a weakness. “I cry and meetings, I laugh at meetings and sometimes I get strange looks because of that. I think we are moving away from masculine values to get a better balance with feminine values. We are being more collaborative in our organisations, communicating better. We are starting to understand vulnerability is certainly not a weakness.“ A donation from the lunch was made to the Marnin Women’s Resource Centre in Western Australia. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Boomerang bag project Boomerang Bags is a grassroots, community driven movement tackling plastic pollution at its source. Boomerang Bags provide a free, fun, sustainable alternative to plastic bags. Why not get involved - join us on a weekly basis to make these sustainable bags that we can then donate on to local support organisations who would normally use plastic bags.

Aarts brings the energy By Nick Creely Tackling, chasing and a ferocious, infectious energy at ground level - it's the mantra of Richmond's plethora of small forwards at both VFL and AFL level. For former Beaconsfield player, Noble Park listed player and emerging leader of the Tigers' VFL program Jake Aarts, he has all three components of his game in spades - it's the reason he is on the radar for many AFL clubs come draft night later this year. Hard work and an opportunity to grow his game at Punt Road for four years have now culminated in the dynamic forward being chosen as one of the 13 VFL prospects to take part in the state draft combine, which will be held in October. Turning 24 later this year, Aarts said he didn't expect to be chosen for the combine, but understands the footballing landscape every player pulling on a VFL jumper has ambitions to take the next step to the elite level. "It was pretty surprising at the time, to be honest - I sort of hadn't been thinking about it at all lately, and when I got the call from our footy manager, I was surprised, but it was a good result for sure," he said. "I wouldn't say it (getting drafted) hasn't crossed my mind at all - the last couple of years playing VFL I've thought about it more, but this year it's been more about the footy and trying to make finals. "I haven't really focused on whether clubs have been looking at me, but it's great, for sure." It's often spoken about that the culture down at Punt Road is rock solid, and that it allows each individual involved with the VFL and AFL program to flourish and play to their strengths - Aarts is testament to that, he lives and breathes it on a weekly basis. "The culture at Richmond has been really good since I got to the club - in my first year (2014), there was always got a bit of divide between the VFL and AFL boys, but each year I've been there it's got better and better - it's something we work on each year, and it probably started four years ago," he said. "It hasn't just started; it takes a long time to get a good connection which is something we talk a lot about with the AFL boys as well. When you get a good system, and a strong culture, everyone buys into it, and all the boys have. "With the success of the AFL boys last year, and to an extent the VFL boys, it's had a big impact on me, and it makes you want to keep playing, the hard work is all there is to it for us as a club." Aarts plays to his strengths; he applies extraordinary pressure with the likes of AFLlisted players Tyson Stengle, Shai Bolton, Liam Baker and Sam Lloyd often around him at ground level suffocating opponents with their intensity - it's the Richmond way, and Aarts is right at home. "The way I play my footy, it's not really changed since my junior days," he said. "I love bringing energy and tackling, and you've got to defend as well, it's not all offense, and being a small forward at Richmond, they
Beaconsfield's own Jake Aarts will be one to watch in the state combine this year. need that in our team defence - it helps the midfield and backline with our forward pressure, so that's what we work on. "Nothing's really changed for me, it's just how I play." In last year's state combine, the likes of Dom Barry (Port Adelaide), Bayley Fritsch (Melbourne), Zac Langdon (GWS Giants) and Liam Ryan (West Coast) impressed enough to earn an AFL opportunity. Aarts will use those examples, plus a number of others flourishing at AFL level, as inspiration for what's ahead.
"It sort of hasn't been until late I've realised (the impact of mature age players) - Lambo (Richmond premiership star Kane Lambert) obviously came into the system until he was like 23 and has had a big impact straightaway, and you look at Geelong with Tim Kelly, he's been amazing," he said. "Lately I've noticed all these things, and the impact they have at AFL level, so you do sit there and think that you could make an impact at AFL level, because you've already done the four years of playing at a high standard of footy, that's how I see it."
Picture: COURTESY OF CAMERON GRIMES In a recent game against Geelong at GMHBA Stadium, VFL coach Craig McRae praised the potentially AFL-bound Aarts in his VFL report. "Such a terrier. Low possessions, but just his tenacity was unbelievable. He's a really, really good leader in terms of his competitive nature. We love him in our team. He was one of our best players on the day," he said. It's been a strong four years for the Beaconsfield product, and in 2019, anything's possible for the tenacious forward.
The Magpies come together for VIP day By Nick Creely The Narre Warren Football Netball Club hosted its VIP day at Fox Road on Saturday, with politicians, sponsors, volunteers and local junior club members recognised for their support throughout the season. A large crowd gathered in the new social rooms at Kalora Park to celebrate the success of the club to date this season, and update members on how the teams are tracking as they enter finals, and to make some important announcements.

in the under 19s. Shinners praised the club for how it's handled not having lights at the ground all season, with the club having to train at junior clubs and various grounds throughout the season. Playing her 200th A Grade netball match that day, Magpies captain Erin Clark delivered an emotional address about what the club meant to her and everyone involved in the community, talking about her younger days at Kalora Park and how it has made her a better person and allowed her to meet lifelong friends. State Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Narre Warren North Liberal candidate Vikki Fitzgerald then announced a $660,000 pledge if elected towards Stage 2 of the redevelopment of the club, which would consist of as-
phalting the perimeter of the car park and the completion and fitout of the first floor meeting and committee rooms. "Vikki Fitzgerald has been doing extensive work with the local community to secure this upgrade for Narre Warren Football and Netball Club and has advocated strongly for this funding," Mr Guy said. Fitzgerald said it was integral to get these upgrades for the club. "Sporting clubs are the hub of any community," she said. "By providing Narre Warren Football and Netball Club the funding they deserve, all teams participating in the local league can benefit from using these upgrades, as they will provide a safe playing and working environment for players and club officials."

The Casey Cavaliers enjoyed a fruitful weekend of Big V finals basketball. Both the Division 1 and Youth League 2 women moved a step closer to realising their championship dreams, but there is still work to be done. The Division 1 women took game one on the road against Geelong in their semi final series on Saturday evening. Trailing by four points at the main break, the Cavs completely turned the tables on the Supercats in an impressive third quarter effort. Casey went up a gear and Geelong was unable to keep pace as Keeley Patterson caught fire from deep to hit three triples in a minute, helping the Cavs to a seven-point lead at the final break. The Supercats attempted a comeback in the fourth, but Casey answered every challenge as Jamie-Lee Jeffs controlled both ends of the court and Tarryn Wilkin made her presence known on the offensive end. The Cavs pulled away for an important win, 77-67. Jamie-Lee Jeffs (22 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 blocks) was the dominant player on the court, while Tarryn Wilkin (15 points, 5 rebounds) and Keeley Patterson (15 points - 5/7 from three) provided vital buckets. Meanwhile, the Youth League 2 women booked their ticket to the grand final with a hard-fought win over Frankston at Casey Stadium on Saturday night. After a first-week finals bye, the Cavs struggled to find their groove early and only mustered 23 first-half points. Their offence had stalled, but crucially, their defence was still running hot and contained the Blues to just 24
points of their own. The Cavs didn't just break out of their scoring slump in the third quarter; they obliterated their opponents in a barnstorming 28-14 quarter. The usual terrific ball movement and fast break offence returned, while the hustle and defence remained. It was a tantalising quarter of basketball as Steph Leclerc wreaked havoc on both ends of the court with her speed and willingness to dive for loose balls. Stars Tess Young and Lauren Tuplin combined for 14 points in the quarter to lead Casey to a commanding 13-point lead with a quarter to play. The Cavs kept the Blues at arm's length for the remainder of the game to run out 74-62 winners and book their place in the grand final. It was a sublime team effort that got Casey over the line, led impeccably by Steph Leclerc's near triple-double of 10 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 steals. Lauren Tuplin (18 points, 3 rebounds) and Tess Young (13 points, 11 rebounds) continued their fine seasons. This Saturday night at Casey Stadium, the Division 1 women host Geelong in game two of their semi final series from 8pm. A win will see them progress through to the grand final and a loss will see them return to action on Sunday in a do-or-die game three clash from 1:30pm at Casey Stadium. Meanwhile, the Youth League 2 women have the weekend off as they wait for their grand final opponent to be decided. Frankston and Pakenham will be battling it out on Saturday night for the right to face Casey in the grand final series.
Strikers push Doves in draw By Nick Creely FOOTBALL FEDERATION VICTORIA SOCCER WRAP - ROUND 19 The Casey Comets enjoyed a week off in State League 1 South East over the weekend, but Warragul United drew 2-2 with Mornington SC at Baxter Park. The Comets will return to the pitch when they take on the United at home on Saturday afternoon. In State League 2 South East action, Peninsula Strikers put in a sublime effort to draw 2-2 with ladder leaders Doveton on Saturday. The Strikers sit on almost opposite ends of the table to the Doves, and lead 1-0 before the Doves fought back in the second half. Berwick City also drew 1-1 with Knox City FC at Egan Lee Reserve, with the visitors scor-
ing the only goal of the second half through Jarod Blackbourn. In State League 5 South, meanwhile, Casey Panthers drew 2-2 with Endeavour Hills Fire at Prospect Hill. The Fire was down 2-0 after a blistering first half from the home side, but two late goals saved the day and helped them share the points. Chelsea FC picked up a win over Pakenham United 1-0, in a tough affair at Edithvale Reserve. And in other games, Rowville incredibly won 12-2 against Drouin Dragons, with Ruben Ichim scoring six and Louis Palmire four.

The Eagles pass the test By Nick Creely SOUTH EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 15 The importance of a tough tussle on the eve of finals is invaluable for a side gearing up for a tilt at a premiership. Pakenham were never going to just hand Cranbourne the four points at Toomuc Reserve on Saturday, 13.6 (84) to 7.8 (50). The Eagles were made to work against an Ash Green side that has improved out of sight this season, but the class of Marc Holt (four goals) and Nathan Gardiner (three) down forward had the visitors hold sway and made the most of their opportunities after being starved early. After an even, contested opening half, the Eagles managed to get the break in the third term, booting away to a 26-point three quarter time lead after finally finding their run and dare that makes them one of the most exciting teams in the competition. With Anthony Vella once again eye catching, and the likes of young defender Corey Ellison, Jordan Bertand and Brandon Wapshott providing some class with ball in hands, Eagles coach Steve O'Brien was pleased to notch up the four points. "They make you earn it - they play a good, contested brand of football, so they don't give it to you easy," he said. "It was a good, tough contest." Heading into a final round clash against Beaconsfield with no change possible on the ladder and a final against Berwick looming, O'Brien said confidence is pretty high at Casey Fields. "Our results over the course of the year have proven that our game stacks up, and it's capable of beating anybody," he said. "We're pretty confident heading into finals. We haven't changed too much all year - one of our strengths all year has been our spread of goal kickers, so as long as that can continue, we'll kick a challenging score." On a promising afternoon from the Lions, Stephen Morey was once again superb in the backline, while Jeconiah Peni played a terrific game through the middle. Down at Holm Park Reserve, Beaconsfield continued to build a solid platform of form before finals with a massive win over TooradinDalmore, 16.12 (108) to 4.2 (26). Off the back of four goal hauls to young star Riley Verbi and spearhead Nathan Langley, as well as impressive cameos by Jesse Patullo (three goals) and Sam Merrick (three), the Eagles found plenty of avenues to goal, and worked the ball around expertly to control the game from the outset. Eagles coach Leigh McQuillen said despite the setbacks, he believes his side has turned a corner. "We feel like ever since being hit by a number of injuries and the loss to Pakenham, we've been able to play a solid brand of football," he said. "We're coming good at the right time of the year. "We are certainly gaining momentum so we'll keep pushing to improve and along the way and add in the returning players as we see fit. Those returning from injury will be ready to play." McQuillen pointed to his younger players as the most impressive aspect of the 82 point win, and praised them for seizing the opportunity as senior players continue to work back from injury. "Along the way we are bringing up a number of under 19s in Mitch Smith, Luke Bettio, Devon Smith, Jack Docherty, Jesse Patullo and more recently Sam Merrick," he said. "They're all going to be great senior footballers for our club moving forward. With so many out it's given these guys the chance and they certainly haven't looked out of place. "So our biggest asset right now is confidence in our youth and the fact that with players returning selection will be tough." McQuillen said he was wary of the Seagulls, who have made a habit out of shocking teams and catching them off guard. "If you give them a start they can rattle sides. We certainly wanted to take them on with our ground and ball movement," he said. "There's a clear difference between our 30 STAR NEWS

Jordan Bertrand finds some space and swings onto his trusty left foot. 183886 home grounds size. We knew we had a lot of speed and hard running players out there so you play to your strengths. "The inside stoppage work of Damien Johnson and Brad Homfray set us up as did the run and class of Verbi, Bromley and Bowd. "They're a physical side Tooradin and we knew we had to atone for our poor showing a few weeks prior in similar conditions against Pakenham. "Credit to the Lions they were too good for us that day but we certainly made that a focus pre-game to mentally prepare our side." Narre Warren, meanwhile, expectedly brushed aside Officer at Kalora Park, 19.15 (129) to 6.6 (42). With stars in Trent Shinners, Brad Scalzo and leading goal kicker Nick Scanlon all missing, Matt Shinners' side was certainly different, but no less effective. Pushing forward, Mitch Cox simply starred, running rings around the Kangaroos' defence to snare six majors in a best afield display. He was supported by Trent Cody, Nathan Foote and Aaron Wilson, who kicked seven between them as the Magpies took the game away after holding a 34 point quarter time lead. The Kangaroos fought back nicely to level out the second term, but the class of the Magpies' ball winners in Josh Tonna, and also Dylan Quirk, ensured they would coast through the second half with little trouble. There was, however, a moment to smile about for Kangaroos supporters, with skipper Matt Clarke producing one of the goals of the year, kicking the ball out of mid-air from 35 out, in a freakish effort. Defender James Waldon was once again a shining light on a tough day to be an Officer defender, while usual suspects in Tyler Clark, Sean Roach and Stephen Heppel all battled hard. And finally, Berwick had an incredible 54 shots on goal to coast to a 222 point win over Doveton, 35.19 (229) to 1.1 (7). The Doves are battling to make it to the end of the year, and came face to face with a Wickers side hell bent on continuing their strong form. The Wickers gave no look in to the Doves from the opening bounce, leading by 106 at half time before launching a frightening 19 goal second half. All but securing second spot on the table, the Wickers didn't take the foot off even slightly, with the Doves not scoring until the last ten minutes of the game with a Matt Stapleton major.

Eagles soar atop Division 2 By Hayley Wildes and Nick Creely SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 17 The Doveton Eagles easily accounted for Mount Waverley at Power Reserve to remain on top of the ladder. A barnstorming ten-goal to one opening term set the scene for a 19.20 (134) to 10.8 (68) win. Nick Battle and Nicholas Beer were best for the Eagles. In a top-four battle, Keysborough was overrun by Highett in the second half. The Burras led by 10 points at half time, but Highett used a dominant third term to run away with a 15.12 (102) to 13.6 (84) win. Chris Bryan booted six majors and took an absolute screamer that brought the crowd to their feet. DIVISION 3 - ROUND 16 Hampton Park led at every change to defeat Ashwood at Robert Booth Reserve. Cameron Williamson (four goals) was best on ground as the Redbacks claimed a 12.11 (83) to 6.7 (43) win. Hallam battled valiantly against Heatherton, but was unable to get the win, falling 10.9 (69) to 9.4 (58). Rory McIvor and Mitchell Lambert were superb for the Hawks, while Reagan Maddaford and Callum Cusack were dominant for Heatherton. Springvale Districts sent a message to the rest of the competition with a thumping win over the third-placed Endeavour Hills Falcons. The Dees' defence was stifling all game as they recorded a 13.9 (87) to 3.7 (25) win. Daniel Morris was best for Springvale Districts, while Daniel Morrison battled hard for Endeavour Hills.

Despite the loss, Jesse Walia and Jason Twite impressed for the Lightning.

The Panthers stood no chance after cough-
ing up six unanswered first term goals, and saw their deficit blow out to 80 by half time, with goal machine Jesse Murphy (seven goals) running amok to be in for a big day. The visitors fought admirably to boot three goals in the third, but fell away again as the Kangaroos surged away to a mammoth victory. Luke Dalmau was a shining light - booting two of the Panthers' five goals - while Damien Scully was also solid. Devon Meadows, meanwhile, were no match for premiership fancies Red Hill away from home, 20.9 (129) to 5.4 (34).

Swans bring the changes with VP Wallace stepping up By Nick Creely A breath of fresh air is coming from Casey Fields as Casey-South Melbourne gears up for the Victorian Premier Cricket season. After a raft of changes both on and off-field, the Swans look settled, and primed to bounce back from last year's two win season that had them narrowly avoid the wooden spoon. Current first XI batsman and 2017/18 leading run scorer Michael Wallace will step into the role of vice-president, making him the youngest ever for the club at just 27. He will join Ross Hibbins - who has been re-elected as president, while the committee will also welcome in Craig Lambden onto the general committee. It's a role Wallace is looking forward to, and wants to make an impact as his club looks to build sustainable success both on and offfield. "It wasn't necessarily something I've been aiming for, but the opportunity presented itself and I'm happy to do that work for the club," he said.
Michael Wallace has stepped into the role of vice president at Casey-South Melbourne. 163770 Picture: GARY SISSONS "I've enjoyed the support I've got from my friends and everyone around the club, and the role really shows how much they care, so I want to give back as much as I can." Wallace will learn off Hibbins throughout the season while also juggling his playing commitments, in a relationship he believes will benefit the club.
"Ross has been great to learn off, with the amount of work he puts in - for me, game day and training I'll worry about playing, and then outside of that, I'll help as much I can," he said. "We've got a great understanding in that I'm a player, and he's been great in dealing with it all, but it's great to learn from him. Ross Moore, Laurie Stevens, those kinds of people, have always been a great help for me too." With the Swans deep in pre-season and with less than two months away before the start of the season, Wallace said the club has focused heavily on a key area he believes will propel the players forward. "Pre-season has been really strong so far, and we've had a heavier focus on fitness, which all the boys are enjoying, and we're being pushed probably more than we have in the past," he said. "But it's what we need - last year we could compete in games at times, but it was a mental, physical or a bit of both that let us down, so a bit more hard work will help us push over the line more in games." Driving the Swans is the disappointment
of last year, but they are determined to turn things around with a different approach. "Last year was disappointing for everyone at the club," he said. "It'll turn around with hard work on the field, and hard work off the field. The challenge is there in front of us." Wallace pointed to the batting depth as a key area of improvement, with the signings of Englishman Luke Wells and also young star Ryan Quirk a big tick, while in the bowling department Josh Dowling should help off-set the big loss of Brendan Rose. "If you look back at our games last year, it was probably our batsmen that didn't quite step up and get us over the line, so it was definitely a focus (in recruiting)," he said. Brendan is (also) a big loss, and he's not an easy replacement - it's an opportunity for others to come through, but we've still got Nathan Lambden, Jackson Fry, Dylan Hadfield, so the quicks are still there, and we've got Jonah Serong as a spinner and (Lachlan) Sperling as well."
Casey’s Dee-lightful dozen puts the VFL on notice By Hayley Wildes They were challenged, they had their backs against the wall, but the Casey Demons responded and powered away from the Sandringham Zebras on the weekend to claim their 12th win on the trot. On Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, the Demons produced perhaps their worst first quarter of football for the season; held goalless and in a 22-point hole at the first break. The Zebras simply outworked the Demons, but despite the bad start, there were three quarters of football left for the Demons to turn things around. And they did just that. Will Stephenson put through the Demons’ first major of the day three minutes into the cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au
second quarter and when Dean Kent kicked truly at the nine-minute mark, the deficit was just seven points. The Zebras responded with a goal of their own, but majors to Tim Smith and Sam Weideman had Casey trailing by just three points at half time. Declan Keilty, Josh Wagner and Tom Bugg were massive in helping the Demons wrestle their way back into the contest. Seemingly possessing all of the momentum, the Casey boys quickly found themselves on the back foot once again as Sandringham came out of half-time with a real thirst for the contest. The Zebras booted two goals in the first three minutes of the quarter and had Casey searching for answers. The answer came in the
form of a Mitch King major. Goals to Cory Machaya and Kent in time-on were worth their weight in gold and at the final break, scores were level with the game there to be won. The Demons’ fourth quarter performance was one that summed up their incredible season to date; gritty, determined and a playing with real desire to win each and every contest. With captain Jack Hutchins leading the way, Casey held Sandringham scoreless and majors to Weideman, Kent and James Freeman saw the Demons record a gutsy 21-point win, 10.15 (75) to 8.6 (54). Skipper Jack Hutchins was sublime all day in a best on ground performance, while Tom Bugg (28 disposals), Josh Wagner (25 dispos-
als) and Jay Lockhart played pivotal roles. Dean Kent (three goals) and Sam Weideman (two goals) ensured the scoreboard kept ticking over at vital stages throughout the game. Meanwhile, St Kilda AFL-listed players Hugh Goddard and veteran defender Sam Gilbert were best for the Zebras. The win not only sees Casey (14-2) boast an incredible dozen wins in a row, they also claimed top spot on the ladder with two rounds to play. The Demons will look to record their 13th win on the trot when they face the Box Hill Hawks at Box Hill City Oval on Saturday afternoon. With the Hawks sitting fifth on the ladder, a great test awaits the Demons as they build towards a big finals campaign. Thursday, 16 August, 2018
