Pride in diversity Hundreds flocked the Passport to Casey's Cultural Heritage Showcase event in Cranbourne to celebrate Australia Day last weekend.

Held at the Balla Balla Community Centre residents were united to celebrate Casey's rich and diverse cultural heritage, and what makes them proud to be Australian.

The day featured a sausage sizzle hosted by Lions Club of Cranbourne, traditional music and dances, a mini historical exhibition, art and crafts, and a performance by the Balla Balla Ukulele group.

in the capped area, for an additional 25 EGMs. "Council remains concerned about gambling losses being experienced by Casey residents, particularly given many are from vulnerable communities already experiencing relatively high levels of socio-economic disadvantage," Ms Ward said.

Bad Bets Australia spokesman Rowan Wenn said it was "embarrassing" the State Government and Casey Council weren't "doing more about" gambling harm.

He said Casey Council had a "real opportunity" to hold the gambling industry to account, which "deliberately targeted" vulnerable people and distressed families "looking for an escape."

"Things are only going to get worse unless

we actually call out what is going on...as a society we're going to have more suicides, more domestic violence, and more crime," Mr Wenn said.

Alliance for Gambling Reform director and spokesman Tim Costello said the "surge" in losses at The Berwick Springs Hotel "coincides with attempts by the Zagame family to sell its pokies empire."

"Hopefully the new owner will operate the venue more responsibly, and manage down the losses with reforms such as not running it the maximum 20 hours a day," he said.

Mr Costello called on the State Government to "commit to reforms such as $1 maximum bets, reduced operating hours and less addictive machine design."

Punters hoping to hit the jackpot in Casey lost more than $134 million last year - prompting Australia's gaming watchdog to say "poker machines are deliberately designed to addict gamblers."

The latest figures from the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation revealed the Berwick Springs Hotel, which is owned by Zagames, ranked as the second worst in the state for gaming losses with players squandering away more than $19 million last year.

Hampton Park Tavern also recorded a whopping of $13.78 million in losses, up 13 per cent from 2017.

Cranbourne Information and Support Ser-

vices executive officer Leanne Petrides said gambling harm led many people seeking their help to pay for food, petrol, medication, counselling, and assistance from their case workers.

"Sadly, we have seen gambling related harm decimate household budgets and ruin relationships and lives," she said.

Casey manager of city planning Nicola Ward said council wanted the State Government to extend a cap on the number of Electronic Gaming Machines (EGM) on the municipality.

"A city-wide cap would provide certainty to the remaining parts of Casey to keep the EGM density consistent across the municipality," she said.

Council was recently successful in opposing an application by the Lynbrook Hotel, which is

IN BRIEF Man wanted in petrol-drive off

Make parking ‘fair’

Cranbourne police hope CCTV images will identify a man allegedly involved in a petrol drive off in Cranbourne on Sunday 20 January.

Police allege a blue Holden Commodore Police hope to identify attended a United this man. service station on High Street with the male driver getting out and filling the car with fuel.

The male, who is described as Caucasian appearance, aged in his early twenties, slim build with short dark hair, then got back in the vehicle and drove away without making any attempt to pay.

Police have released CCTV still images of a man who they believe can assist with their investigation.

Anyone who recognises the male or has any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

By Brendan Rees More parking signs will be installed along Kangan Drive in Berwick following a public outcry from dozens of commuters who have been slugged with parking fines.

Parking bans, which came into affect July last year, have drawn the ire of commuters who say the signs are "deceiving" and "confusing."

Twelve residents who have been slapped with $161 parking infringement fines in recent weeks protested at a Casey Council meeting on Tuesday 22 January by holding signs above their heads from the public gallery which read: "Change the signs," "Kangan Drive make it fair," "Misleading and unfair," among other slogans.

When the question was posed to councillors about the parking signs, manager of community safety at the City of Casey Caroline Bell said "to further increase the understanding of these restrictions, a doubling of the statutory signage will be introduced in coming weeks, together with further advisory signs."

"The statutory signage will then have a spacing of approximately every 20 metres."

Ms Bell said the parking restrictions were in response to the "community's concerns and frequent complaints regarding the increased congestion and travel time delays."

As it stands, the 'no stopping' restrictions operate from 7.30am - 9.30am and 2.30pm 4.30pm, Monday to Friday - which affects 38 parking bays. During other hours of the day, parking is restricted to two hours.

Cr Tim Jackson said the signs "were absolutely needed" but council should advocate to the State Government to make parking free at public hospitals rather "forcing" people to park on the road.

Michael Drew of Lynbrook, who led the group of disgruntled commuters at the council meeting, has become known as a crusader of late by standing along Kangan Drive and preventing further commuters from being fined.

He said the new measure announced by

Commuters of Kangan Drive in Berwick protested at a Casey council meeting demanding a change to the current parking signs. council was "some sort of progress" but come the start of school next week, "it'll be more revenue."

According to Mr Drew, he has saved around 300 drivers from being booked over a period of 16 days - equating to about $47,000.

He says parking inspectors had been opportunistic - taking advantage of people attending St John of God Hospital and Casey Hospital.

Leonard Camm of Narre Warren, who received an infringement for failing to obey a no parking sign on the 10 January after taking his son for a blood test to a nearby hospital, said it was "unfair" "It's not a clearway and I wouldn't have been obstructing any flow of traffic for seven minutes," he said.

"It's really bizarre ... It's revenue at its best."

However, Serena of Narre Warren South said she was frustrated by "selfish people" parking illegally on Kangan Drive and "holding up traffic."

"Every day I am amazed at how many people were continuing to park there illegally

The parking parking restrictions on Kangan Drive, Berwick are confusing motorists. 189147 even when there were large bright yellow signs warning of the changes to parking restrictions for at least a month or two after the changes were made," she said.

Serena, who asked not publish her surname, said the fines were warranted and "not a money making scheme by council."

"The bigger issue here is that two hospitals were built too close together with not enough parking."

Honoured for a lifetime of community service

Top citizens

By Brendan Rees Standout citizens who share a common goal in helping the community were celebrated at the Casey Australia Day Awards.

Council held a special ceremony on Australia Day at Bunjil Place to announce the recipients of this year's awards, as well as acknowledging all the worthy nominees.

Mellissa McIlroy was named the Casey Citizen of the Year for her dedication with Christians Helping in Primary Schools (CHIPS) since 2001, initially as a volunteer and then as an employee.

Ms McIlroy said it was "really overwhelming" to take out the prestigious award.

She praised the 300-400 volunteers within her team saying "they really are the ones that make everything happen."

"The passion is obviously bringing hope, and a sense of belonging, and value to children who have experienced trauma and also to their families," she said.

"We're positive as a community to start to change the road those children may end up taking."

Casey Senior Citizen of the Year was awarded to Morrie Hartman.

He is a current volunteer with the Office of the Public Advocate in two of their volunteer programs, the Community Guardian Program and the Independent Third Person Program.

"I was flabbergasted," Mr Hartman said. "I was grateful to be nominated."

"The opportunity to help people less fortunate than yourself, it gives me great satisfaction."

Nancy Loomba took out the Casey Young Citizen of the Year. Ms Loomba is a project officer for Disability Employment Services, where she supports people with disability to get job ready, find a role right for them and offers post placement support.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon with the 2019 Casey Australia Day Award winners.

The 24-year-old said she honoured in receiving the award, adding she loved "giving back to the community."

The ACE Foundation was announced the 2019 Casey Community Group of the Year for their work in supporting students who are experiencing significant challenges in their educational pursuits.

Cindy Warren was also awarded Highly Commended in the Citizen of the Year category for her tireless charity work with Share the Dignity; supporting women who cannot afford to buy basic hygiene products.

"I was absolutely blown away when my name was read out," she said. "I was not expecting it to be honest."

"There are many people out there that do such great amazing things in the community; it's really lovely to be recognised.

"People have been dropping in donations, it's been fantastic," Ms Warren said.

Growing up, Peter Cohen remembers the days his parents' car would get bogged on the grounds of the Cranbourne Golf Club when the course was being built in 1952.

His parents would take him and his siblings to check on the works every Sunday as they were the foundation members.

Mr Cohen says he holds a "sentimental connection" with the Country Club, and continued to honour his parents' accomplishment by serving as a board member until he retired about five years ago.

This put him on the path to success, as he also dedicated his life to hockey and Jewish community of St Kilda.

Today, the 75-year-old Caulfield South resident received the AM (Member of the Order of Australia) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours List.

Although being honoured, Mr Cohen was quick to praise the volunteers and team he worked with over the years.

"When somebody gets an award like this I certainly feel it's recognition of all of the people; you can't do this on your own," he said.

"I played my part but so many other people as well - it's a team.

"It's really wonderful and it's a great honour to be recognised in this way...it's recognition of volunteers, that's how I see it."

A lawyer by profession, Mr Cohen took on a legal administrative role with the club in 1976 after his father died.

"They invited me to continue on in the legal side of things which I did," he said.

"As time went on I became a member of the committee of the Cranbourne country Club. I was a member for quite some time; then I became the president."

Peter Cohen has been named a Member of the Order of Australia.

Although not a golfer, says it important to acknowledge the founders of the club as "our primary role was simply as the custodians of the land."

"Anybody could be a member, there was to be no discrimination on any basis whatsoever," he said.

"There were originally 250 foundation members and I think they each subscribe a 100 pounds."

Mr Cohen, a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1998, has had an extensive involvement International Hockey Federation in which he is a member of honour.

He has also served as president and an honorary solicitor with the St Kilda Hebrew Congregation.

No, not a landfill site or transfer station. I live in Hampton Park. But lately it seems our community needs to learn to keep our suburb a clean and healthy place. Not just for our community but for the wildlife and for all of us - we humans rely on the health of planet Earth and its oceans. What happens locally can affect the planet and seas globally.

All around I see scattered litter - mostly cans, plastic bottles, plastic bags, wrappers, plastic-lined slurpee or coffee cups, straws and bread bags. It is thrown onto naturestrips and gutters where it ends up in our waterways and oceans; or dropped around Rivergum Creek and Hallam Trail Creek. This litter chokes waterways, oceans and animals. It breaks down into tiny pieces of plastic and enters the food chain- yes, your fish and chips might be better described as fish, plastic and chips.

But a rubbish tip is not complete without larger items. And the people of Hampton Park sadly have been busy providing much dumped rubbish - mattresses, cushion stuffing, e-waste such as TVs, furniture, renovation materials and even several toilets.

I challenge readers to think about the real cost of "free" dumping and littering - someone has to clean it up and that costs money that *we* pay as rates or taxes. Then there is the environmental hazard to wildlife and to our waterways and oceans where it may end up. And ultimately the cost to all humanity - we rely on the health of our planet and its oceans for our very existence.

So please, if you see dumped rubbish or littering from a car, report it - ask Casey Council if you're not sure who the land is managed by.

We all have a rubbish bin, recycling bin, garden waste bin and two hard waste collections every year. The hard waste collections can include commonly dumped items like TVs, tyres, broken furniture and mattresses. There are also many avenues to rehome usable goods - for example op shops (check first and don't leave outside), selling or giving away online and larger charities may even collect items with vans or trucks. Taking rubbish home if there's no bin is as easy as carrying the full food or drink item to the park or street in the first place. So there's absolutely no reason for dumping or littering.

Perhaps you might also be able to use less single use plastic - do you use a keep mug for hot or cold drinks, a reusable straw (or no straw), a refillable water bottle and reusable shopping or carry bags for example? Or could you rethink whether that bunch of bananas or single item need to go inside a plastic produce bag? Even if you do the right thing and bin it, these items can be blown around into gutters on bin collection days and add to the litter problem. Not to mention our landfill is nearly full.

I see many bread bags floating in the creek or tied to branches too. I wonder if people have considered composting it or freezing it before it's stale? They'd be doing the ducks a favour by not feeding unhealthy food it to them too it's kinder just to watch them not feed them.

And to those everyday heroes I see sometimes who bother to pick up others' litter because no one else is going to - thank you.

Sarah, Hampton Park

Karen Jarman: Regular police patrols might help.

Adam Wilkinson: Making crooks afraid of the courts would help too. Cops catch the them then judges let them off.

On 23 January, a story was shared on the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page about council responding to angry commuters of Kangan Drive to "fix" the issue of parking signs.

Ric Stewart: They are perfectly clear. Just because impatient people can't spare two minutes to read them doesn't warrant the expense of replacing them!

Unique power of his voice

By Brendan Rees Through the power of his voice, John Shore has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for those doing it tough.

On Saturday he was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours List for his service to charitable organisations in the community.

Mr Shore, who lives on a farm with his family in Cranbourne South, has used his auctioneering skills to conduct 15-20 auctions a year to raise money which has included raising $140,000 to re-open a hospital and build seven small homes in Bercy, Haiti.

However, Mr Shore says he never imagined his passion for helping others would one day add an OAM to his name.

"I had never thought that the involvement I have had over the years would lead or in fact warrant an OAM," he said. "So this has come along as a shock and I am humbled by it."

"I am very proud to receive it and blessed that all the contacts I have made over the years assist me in doing what I do for a wide variety of charities."

Mr Shore, who is the director of Ray White Chelsea, says he was particularly touched by a charity event he auctioneered last year for the Children's First Foundation (CFF) which saved two-and-half-year-old Jack's life.

Forty-five thousand dollars was raised "with the assistance of some very generous sponsors," for Jack, who travelled to Australia from Vanuatu to have major brain surgery.

He will now head home in the next couple of months thanks to the surgeons and staff at the Royal Children's Hospital and CFF Charity.

"Meeting his mum first early last year and seeing the photos of this disfigured little boy and then to meet the new and improved Jack just gives everyone a great feeling of success," Mr Shore said.

John Shore with two-year-old Jack who had life changing brain surgery thanks to money raised through Children's First Foundation.

Mr Shore has also used his auctioneering skills to raise money for Rotary, Variety Club, Les Twentyman Foundation, Finnan's Gift Op Shop Ball, Reach Foundation, CanTeen Australia, Helping Hand Helping Hearts, Children First Foundation and Monash Children's Hospital.

He is also the co-founder of the Melbourne Op-Shop Ball, since 2011. "The Op Shop Ball was a concept I saw in WA many years ago and thought this will work in Melbourne, guests arrive in any clothing they can find in an Op Shop," he says.

"Harvey Norman were absolutely fantastic supplying over $10,000 worth of goods each and every year for our spinning wheel, various wine companies sponsored our wine sales, suppliers to our business Ray White Chelsea also all donated auction items."

John Shore leads an charity auction with Collingwood Football Club items being sold.

He says his business also supports many local charities with their favourite being Pantry 5,000 in Carrum which supplies 150 families with groceries each week .

Mr Shore says making a difference to peoples lives was highly rewarding.

"I am lucky that our business allows me the time to spend on various ventures and will

Downsize your home for a better lifestyle

continue to do so," he said.

"We are going to run the 1st Grand Final Lunch in Chelsea to support local Charities as a joint venture (with the Rotary Club of Chelsea).

"Without the support of my family none of the above would be possible; my wife Linda attends many events with me."

Oz Day revellers celebrate Carrying Australia flags, small children and families gathered outside Arthur Wren Hall in Hampton Park where there was a hive of activity to celebrate Australia Day. Run by the Hampton Park Progress Association and supported by the City of Casey, crowds enjoyed a free Aussie barbecue hosted by the Hampton Park Lions Park, live entertainment, face painting, market stalls, an animal farm display, jumping castle, mini Jeeps, community displays and more.

Federal Member for Holt, Anthony Byrne MP honoured 24 outstanding individuals and eight local organisations for their contribution to our community on Australia Day. The 2019 Holt Australia Day Awards were presented at the Cranbourne Community Theatre with more than 200 people attending including family members and friends to support the recipients.

"Australia Day is a wonderful day when we can recognise those people who contribute to the community and make our community a better place," Mr Byrne said.

The awards were also an opportunity to recognise people like Jeff Weir who also received and Order of Australia on Australia Day for marine conservation; and who is currently the executive director of the Dolphin Research Institute and has a great passion for Marine Biology, especially in the Western Port and Port Phillip Bays.

One of Mr Weir's great success stories was helping to create the 'I sea, I care' ambassador program designed for students in Years 5 and 6. Through the program, students get to learn about what lives in our bays and waterways, and the many issues facing them.

The Cranbourne Food Truck, a team of 60 volunteers which provides free food and fellowship to the needy and disadvantaged of the Cranbourne area also took out an award.

Another recipient was Danielle Johnson which her colleagues say "she will take on pretty much anything" when it comes to running the Cranbourne Southern Stars Netball Club.

The Cranbourne East resident's dedication to the club has earned her finalist spot in the Victorian Sports Awards.Mr Byrne congratulated all those receiving a Holt Australia Day Award for their "exemplary community spirit."

He said their tireless hours of volunteer work made the community a "better and safer place to live."

"These people do not get the same acolades as celebraties in the media but in their own quiet Australian way they do tremendous work and make other people's lives better."

Families also enjoyed an open air cinema screening of the movie The Incredibles 2 with an orange sunset as a stunning backdrop.

A flag lowering service was performed by the Australian Air League Cranbourne.

Special guests included Federal Member for Holt Anthony Byrne, and Casey Councillors Rex Flannery, Geoff Ablett, and Mayor Amanda Stapledon.

Former Mayor of the City of Casey and Tooradin resident Colin Butler was the Master of Ceremonies for the event while Australia Day Ambassador George Donikian also addressed the crowd.

President of the Balla Balla Lions Club Mladen Krsman presented a pin and scroll to Mr Donikian in recognition of his ambassadorship.

City of Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said the day was a time for reflection, celebration and harmony between the diverse communities of the region.

"It was the most idyllic setting, they did a fabulous job; a beautiful day."

Australian radio and television news presenter George Donikian said he was honoured in his ambassador role, adding it was "great to meet some terrific people and swap some stories" at the Tooradin event.

"It's amazing place. I'm seeing so many communities coming together. I get a sense that people are now seeing that part of Melbourne of that part of Victoria as an option.

"I told them a few stories, about my television career and some of the things I've discovered along the way."

Mr Donikian said his father arrived in Australia in 1949 from Greece, which "gave him a chance to pass onto me the understanding and appreciation of what it meant to be an ambassador."

"He said to me 'You have a multi-heritage background and with that you have the responsibility to be the best you can.' That's the sort of sentiment I've kept and worked hard at," he said.

Toys raise cash for kids

Radio legend Tom hangs up the mic

By Brendan Rees

By Brendan Rees After 22 years behind the mic 91-year-old Tommy Carter has signed off for the last time at Casey Radio.

The veteran broadcaster stepped away from his weekly show for the final time on Wednesday 23 January after announcing his retirement.

His broadcast experience included commenting with Richmond Football Club great Jack Dyer for the VFL/AFL games, and presenting on RPP FM in Frankston.

He organised the Battle of the Sounds in the 1960s, and also played the drums at Baxter Tavern for more than 25 years every Sunday up until his 90th birthday.

Others would know Mr Carter as the inventor of the Bertie Beetle show bag.

A celebratory lunch was held in his honour, with guests including Casey Councillor Geoff and members of the station as well as his cohost and life member Russell Hanby also in attendance.

A singer and a jazz drummer, Mr Carter was also awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 1994 for services to entertain the community in the Mornington Peninsula, and was only a few Hall of Famers for the radio station where he is a life member too.

Tommy Carter OAM has announced his retirement with Casey Radio. 189580 Casey Radio vice president Bryce Eishold said Mr Carter was a "great man" who will be missed.

"He's very well-known throughout the jazz scene and used to play at the Portsea Hotel with his late wife in the 60s and 70s," he said.

"He recently moved into an aged care facility in Frankston where he regularly entertains the old folks by singing and playing the drums."

A group of senior citizens have been busy building and selling toys for the past year to help children fight cancer.

Members of Lifestyle Village at Casey Fields in Cranbourne raised $4,000 through the sale of their toys at craft markets in Mornington and Red Hill. All money raised was donated to Monash Hospital children's cancer centre with the total figure matched dollar for dollar by the Lifestyle Community Foundation.

The lifestyle woodworking group delivered the donation to the centre Thursday 24 January, where they were also given a tour.

Woodworker team member Kevin Sparrow said last year proved challenging as they were not able to receive enough recycled wood to keep up with the toy making as well as the group expanding from four to 10 people "The answer was across the road from the village with a company called Joey," he said.

"Joey makes wall cavity units and they provided us with the off-cuts they couldn't use."

"This was a great opportunity for the woodworking group and enabled us to keep up the toy making."

Mr Sparrow said their gathering at Monash Hospital was "very humbling" and "made the group feel that the work made throughout the year were well worth the effort."

"The group would like to thank Joey, Craft Markets Australia and Lifestyle Foundation for the support throughout the year."

Narre Warren Calisthenics Club (NWCC) last year celebrated a brilliant 2018 competition season.

Both the junior and senior sections won their state title competitions and became 2018 state champions.

Melbourne’s ready to roll MELBOURNE DEMONS AFLW 2019 SEASON PREVIEW After last season falling agonisingly short of a grand final berth, the Melbourne Demons AFLW squad will be looking to bounce back from that heartbreak in season 2019.

Needing a win in the final home and away game of the season to book their place in the big dance, Melbourne fell by two points to the Western Bulldogs in an absolute thriller.

Since then, the Demons' list has undergone some massive changes. Superstar Daisy Pearce is out for the season, expecting twins, while Mel Hickey and Richelle Cranston have both moved onto Geelong.

Whilst the loss of those stars will be felt across the ground, Melbourne still boast an even and deep squad. The likes of Elise O'Dea, Karen Paxman, Lily Mithen, speedster Aliesha Newman and a pair of local stars; Bianca Jakobsson and Tyla Hanks will all play vital roles for the Demons.

Cora Lynn-product Hanks, who starred for the Gippsland Power in the TAC Girls competition, was selected by Melbourne with their first pick (#6) in the 2018 AFLW Draft and you can expect the tough midfielder to slot right into

the Demons squad.

Melbourne kicks off their season this weekend against Fremantle on Sunday afternoon at Casey Fields in what promises to be a great match.

Whilst the Dockers finished second last in season 2018, due to the incredibly close nature of the league, they were just one win behind the Demons in third place.

Undoubtedly, the big question mark for the Demons this season is how they cover the loss of three star players. The class that has left the club is hard to replace and they will need every player to stand up and take their respective individual games to the next level.

The likes of young up-and-coming players Eden Zanker, Katherine Smith and Madeline Brancatisano (#15 in the 2018 AFLW Draft) will be keys to success, as will Tegan Cunningham, Meg Downie and Shelley Scott.

The Demons play three games at Casey Fields this season. Round 1 against Fremantle (February 3), Round 4 against North Melbourne (February 24) and Round 7 against Adelaide (March 16).

Bianca Jakobsson will once again be a key to Melbourne's AFLW season.

Pastras Jr - the son of a gun on the rise

By Hayley Wildes The Pastras name is well-known in local cricket circles and there's another Pastras on the rise who is already making a name for himself.

Nick Pastras Jr, son of Upper Beaconsfield legend Nick Pastras, is just 15 years old, but already looks destined for greatness and was recently selected to the Victoria Country Under 15 team.

Pastras Jr will head off to the Sunshine Coast with his Victoria Country teammates next week to take part in the National Championships.

He really started to make some noise last year, when he had one of the better finishes to a season that anyone could wish for.

Not only did he win two premierships with Upper Beaconsfield in the West Gippsland Cricket Association - in Under 14s and E Grade - he also claimed man of the match honours in both deciders.

In the E Grade Grand Final, Pastras Jr was simply unstoppable. Taking on Cranbourne Meadows, he delivered a near-perfect innings to finish a century.

What made the win even more special was the fact that he put on a Premiership-winning 103-run stand with his Dad. The pair dominated and controlled the game to perfection, but Pastras Sr was run out for 59 and it's something he doesn't let his son forget about.

"He always has a go at me because he got run out and I always say if he was quicker he would've made it." Pastras Jr said with a laugh.

Pastras Jr grew up with a cricket bat in his hands and began playing Milo Cricket at a very young age, but fell out of love with the game for a short time. Looking back on that period, he now sees how it helped him rediscover his love for the sport.

"I actually stopped playing when I was about 11 or 12, I hated it, I just preferred footy and tennis," he said.

"Then the Big Bash started and I was watching that and loving it.

"My mates at school were playing and they needed a fill-in one day so I started playing again, got the bug for it and it's just gone from there - I love it."

Pastras Jr is now playing for Berwick in the Turf 1 Reserves and the South East Country Sharks in the Youth Premier League, as well as training with Premier club St Kilda.

The increased standard has driven his improvement and taking on some of the best cricketers in the state has been a great experience, as he explains.

"The standard is a lot higher and it's a better experience playing on turf because that's what all representative cricket is played on."

"I've been training with St Kilda on Tuesday cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Bright futures in soccer

By Hayley Wildes

Nick Pastras will be representing Victoria Country at the upcoming Under 15 Cricket National Championships. nights and again, the standard just goes higher and higher.

"The standard of the players and seeing how they go about it is really helpful and there is a heap to take in."

Whilst he isn't playing for Upper Beaconsfield anymore, Pastras Jr will be forever grateful for their support.

"They've been massive - they made me

strive to play cricket hopefully for Australia one day," he said.

"The people that I had supporting me at Upper Beaconsfield, they were just such an awesome club for me when I was there."

The all-rounder is capable of turning a game on its head and when he lines up for Victoria Country next week, the rest of Australia had better watch out.

The Future Footballers Project is changing lives, on and off the field, for youth in the South East.

Founder Gavin Ithier, talked about what the program is all about and how he is using soccer as a harness to reach out to those in need in the local community.

"I've been doing a little bit of work for a soccer academy over the last couple of years and I was going to places like the English Language School and just all different areas, and what I saw was that little kids, their parents just don't have the money to send them to play local soccer," Ithier said.

"I just thought that I'd start the Future Footballers Project and the first thing that we've done is run the Australia Youth Team."

The Australia Youth Team is a 25-and-under multicultural team from the South East.

On Saturday night, the Australia Youth Team travelled to AAMI Park and put on a show in the final of the U-Nite Cup, played as the curtain raiser to the Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC blockbuster.

Taking on Timor Leste, winners of three U-Nite Cup finals, the Australia Youth Team played brilliantly and scored a convincing 3-0 win.

"It was so great to just get there, the boys were so excited," he said.

"Just from the moment we got off the bus to when we walked up the race to warm up, the smiles on their faces were priceless.

"They played amazingly and to win it, that was just fantastic for them after working so hard."

As well as fielding the Australia Youth Team, the Future Footballers Project also run clinics for kids in the local area and provide scholarships to allow kids to play at club level.

"We're aiming to provide 10 scholarships this year, so we're trying to raise money for that to get kids into local soccer clubs," he said. "$5000 will provide 10 scholarships, which will give them boots and a training kit as well as fees."

The clinics are a highlight for Ithier.

"To kids with not much, they just love it," he said.

"We just try to get them early, give them a love of soccer and it keeps them off the streets doing things they aren't supposed to be doing."

Bears claim the big scalp

By Nick Creely

Nathan King sends one crashing to the boundary during his Turf 1 century on Saturday. 189614 tricts’ first innings total, surging to a barnstorming seven-wicket win.

The Bloods were set a modest 204 for victory, and largely were untroubled, with the aggressive Nathan King (100 not out) guiding the home side to the points in just a tick over 40 overs.

King blasted 15 boundaries in his 128-ball stay to be the match-winner as he continues a fine season that has now netted him 459 runs at 45.9, while Michael Vandort (45) and Matt Wetering (36 not out) also got in on the act to completely take the game away from

the Cobras.

Hallam Kalora Park also maintained their stunning form after already defeating Mordialloc on first innings the week prior, finishing just short of an outright win.

The Hawks resumed at 3/91, and despite losing classy top-order bat Ben Hillard (44) early in the day, kept batting to 8/190 after Jagveer Hayer (47) and skipper Ciaron Connolly (33 not out) racked up a 68-run stand to give themselves plenty of runs to work with as they scrambled to roll the Bloodhounds again.

The Bloodhounds looked like a certainty to fall to an outright defeat after the Hawks declared, quickly finding themselves 4/9 and then 5/27 after Jordan Hammond (3/53) and Will Whyte (2/25) completely dismantled the top-order in a stunning display of red-ball bowling from the star opening pair.

But some late fight to superstar Nuwan Kulasekera (68) ensured the Bloodhounds could fight to 7/131 at stumps, but still with a loss that leaves them six points out of fourth spot.

And St Mary’s (3/210) gave themselves the best possible chance to break out from the bottom of the table after smashing North Dandenong (141) at Lois Twohig Reserve.

In Turf 2, it’s almost safe to say that Narre South, Dingley and Narre North will be playing Turf 2 finals this season.

But Cranbourne managed to keep their finals hopes alive after a century to Lucas Ligt saw the Eagles defeat Parkmore Pirates at Casey Fields.

The Eagles entered the weekend in a strong position, sitting 4/80 in reply to the Pirates’ first innings total of 122, and crossed the mark

Picture: CATHERINE SMITH still four wickets down, but looking to launch more runs through the day to set up a chance for an outright.

As loyal as they come to the club, Lucas Ligt compiled a fine knock, reaching his maiden first XI century for the club after over 4000 junior/senior runs to score an unbeaten 103 off 175 balls, with the home side declaring in a dominant position of 7/221.

Marty Kelly (1/9) struck first ball as the sixth-placed Eagles surged, but the Pirates managed to steady the ship to finish 1/60.

Narre North, meanwhile, easily accounted for Narre Warren in a one-day match after last week’s opening day was called off.

The Rams compiled 6/223 off their 40 overs, with Josh Henry (63) continuing his brilliant form with the bat, while fellow opener Kyle Hardy (45) also found some more runs.

Despite a crunching half century to Sanjeewa Weerasinghe (61), the Magpies were restricted to 9/173 off their 40 overs.

Dingley’s premiership hopes continue to climb, after dismantling Dandenong West at Souter Oval.

After racking up 9/306 the weekend prior, the Dingoes rolled the Westers for just 134, with Calvin Barlow (6/46) and Christo Otto (3/43) in brilliant form with the ball.

And Narre South (9/252) were a class above St Brigid’s/St Louis (88) on day two. After already claiming the points on day one, the Lions elected to spend the day at the crease, with Joe Thomas (66), Michael Ritchie (38) and Jawed Hussaini (41) backing up Morteza Ali’s (48) dominance from the weekend before.

Swans face big challenge

By Nick Creely

12408383-SN06-19

DDCA REVIEW TURF 1 & 2 - ROUND 11 (DAY TWO) There’s no bigger scalp than the ladder leading powerhouse Buckley Ridges.

For Berwick, defeating the Bucks on day two of their clash at Arch Brown Reserve will inject the belief that they can match it with the best, and more importantly, stay right up to their necks in the race for the Turf 1 flag.

After setting the powerful Bucks’ batsmen 263 for victory after Nathan Pilon’s 79 the previous weekend, a lot would need to go right to contain the visitors.

Daniel Watson (23) looked ominous early, but he fell first after being trapped LBW by Cory Bevan (4/48), and from there, opener Jayson Hobbs also fell shortly after leaving the visitors 2/41.

Fresh off a freakish Twenty20 century only days earlier, captain-coach David White (48) picked up where he left off, riding the momentum of the home side to consolidate the innings with fellow star Greg Todd (30).

After copping some tap early, rising young spinner Isaiah Jassal (1/23) snared arguably the most important wicket of the match, breaking through the gates of White to send him packing only a few runs away from a half century, and for only the fourth time in nine innings in the DDCA. Brendan Rose (1/34) struck shortly after, snaring Todd, before the Bears - courtesy of a ripping spell through the middle from Bevan saw the visitors slump to 8/154.

Despite another youngster in Zarak Aseel (20) giving the visitors a glimmer of hope late, the Bears rallied to consolidate their spot in fourth by finishing them off on 190, in what could be a decisive victory as they look to shore up a finals spot in the coming weeks.

Springvale South, meanwhile, had little trouble in racing down Heinz Southern Dis-

Casey-South Melbourne will need to bat out of their skins if they are to knock off top four aspirants Melbourne Uni after a tough day in the field on Saturday.

The top-eight clash - a perfect indicator of exactly where the Swans where at - didn't get off to the most perfect start - with Uni openers Michael Clements (66) and Fergus McKenna (48) getting to lunch unscathed and with over 100 runs on the board.

Returning to the side, James Maxwell (4/59) finally broke through, and McKenna soon fell after, with keeper Dev Pollock gratefully accepting a chance to give Maxwell a second wicket.

But Uni dug in, with a series of partnerships through the middle from skipper James McNeil (52), Alex Gregory (56) and Tom Rogers (34) helping launch a massive total.

The Swans fought back - with spinner Lachie Sperling (3/76) rewarded for his efforts to work his way through the middle order - but it was the left-armer Maxwell that did the most damage, finishing with the impressive figures

of 4/59 in his 19 overs in what is his fifth first XI match at the level.

Uni were eventually bowled out for 332, giving the Swans a big ask, but one that is not beyond them, as shown by a recent two-day fixture against Dandenong which resulted in a draw.

With the form of the likes of Luke Wells, and a batting side filled with depth in Ryan Quirk, Jordan Wyatt, Lachie Sperling, Ryan Eaton, Michael Wallace and Devin Pollock, the Swans will fancy their chances of giving the chase an almighty shake.

In the seconds, meanwhile, lost the Saturday-Sunday fixture to Uni, with Andrej Yaksender blasting an unbeaten century.

The Swans racked up 284 off 92.2 overs on day one, with Joel Mitchell returning from his stint in the ones to compile 85 off 133 overs, with Aaron Bardwell (87) also falling close to a century after coming in at 4/177.

Uni were rocked by two early wickets, but recovered superbly, with Yaksender (136 not out) and Isaiah Borgas (99) enjoying a 191-run stand to help guide their side to victory. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

The finals race heats up

By Nick Creely and Hayley Wildes WGCA REVIEW - ROUND 11 PREMIER DIVISION For the first time in a long time, Cardinia have dropped out of the top four, replaced by the very side that just held them off in a thriller on Saturday, Tooradin.

Bulls skipper Alex Nooy sent the Seagulls in to face the music, but opening pair Kade Burns (38) and Russ Lehman (53) got off to a bright start, compiling 60 for the first wicket before Burns fell to Brady Boswell (2/28) to start a mini-collapse.

The Seagulls lost two quick wickets - and they were vital ones too - with stalwarts Cal O'Hare (3) and Aaron Avery (2) run out within minutes of each other.

Handy knocks at the back-end by Andrew Proctor (34), Josh Lownds (20) and Bradey Welsh (22) ensured the visitors would reach a highly defendable 7/193 off their 40 overs.

Aside from Boswell, Travis Wheller (2/33) also did a fine job with the ball for the Bulls.

Cardinia got off to a blistering start courtesy of Matt Welsh (47), but aside from Nooy's (40) handy knock, the Bulls couldn't quite string together that match-winning partnership, and fell brutally short on 7/187, in a loss that could prove costly.

Lehman (3/38) backed up his half-century with an excellent bowling display to once again prove the difference.

As a result of the loss, the Bulls fall outside the top four, and the Seagulls come in, with just four points and little percentage separating the two.

Dale Tormey, meanwhile, carved his fourth century of the season to guide Pakenham to a barnstorming win against Upper Beaconsfield.

Coming in early after his side won the toss and elected to bat, Tormey completely blew the Maroons away, belting an unbeaten 104, a knock featuring six sixes and five fours, and combined superbly with Zac Chaplin (62 not out) to help post an ominous 2/202.

It is the fourth century Tormey has struck in Lions colours in just 10 digs.

Maroons skipper Scott Pitcher (71 not out)

Bradey Welsh goes on the attack for Tooradin on Saturday. 189604 fought a lone hand in reply as the Lions completely suffocated the home side, to leave them 5/117 off their 40 overs.

Devon Meadows climbed into third after brushing aside Merinda Park.

Luke Hamilton was the star of the show for the Panthers, amassing 103 in just 97 balls as he guided his side to an imposing 5/232. Hamilton shared in a 138-run stand with Kyle Salerno (70) to help set up the target.

The Cobras fought hard to reach 190 in reply, with Dylan Hand (69) cracking a brilliant half-century. It was even across the board for

Picture: ROB CAREW

the Panthers, with Scott Clark (3/37), Ryan O'Connor (3/30) and Jamie Cape (2/46) each taking multiple wickets.

Kooweerup continued on with their winning ways, easily accounting for Clyde.

The Demons were remarkably even with the bat after winning the toss, with Tyler Clark (64) continuing his highly impressive season, while Lachie Ramage (46), Mitch Cammarano (26 not out) and Luke McMaster (35 not out) carved it up late to set 6/250 off 40 overs.

While the Cougars battled it out to complete their full 40 overs, the class of McMaster

(4/21) and skipper Mark Cooper (2/19) proved a task too difficult, with the home side restricting Kiefer Peries' side to 9/164.

DISTRICT DIVISION Cardinia put Tooradin to the sword in dominant fashion. The Seagulls won the toss, elected to bat and just 11 overs later were dismissed for a measly 32 runs.

Cardinia's Matt Celima (6/16) took care of the top order and claimed a hat-trick, while Trent Wheller (4/13) was also mightily impressive.

The Bulls didn't mess around with the bat either as Brad Remy (24 not out) helped Cardinia to a winning total of 0/37 in just 3.1 overs.

NNG/Maryknoll took care of Officer. The Bullants elected to bat first and opener Ash Smith (36) got off to a strong start, while Peter Quinn (63) anchored the middle order to help Officer to a total of 9/183. Kallon Rigby (4/36) was crucial for the Marygoons.

In reply, Rigby (57 not out) partnered with Michael Giles (107 not out) to put on an unbeaten 186-run partnership, leading NNG/ Maryknoll to 0/186 in 28.5 overs.

Cranbourne Meadows got home against Clyde. The Cougars batted first, but struggled early as Joraver Sidhu (3/31) took care of the top order. Steven Russell (54) and Zac Davis (28) delivered strong knocks, but the Cougars' total of 7/156 was always going to be tough to defend against the rampaging Rebels.

With Kulith Rabel (81 not out) and Veerpartap Singh (53 not out) in total control, Cranbourne Meadows chased down the required runs in 25 overs for the loss of just two wickets.

Meanwhile, Emerald cruised home against Carlisle Park after sending the Vikings into bat.

With Ashley Hill (3/15) and Trent Rolfs (3/25) bowling strongly, the Bombers had the Vikings on the backfoot from the outset and they never recovered, dismissed for 92 runs.

In reply, Emerald (1/94) put the foot down and reached the required runs as Mitch Daley (44 not out) and Trent Rolfs (29 not out) were in fine form.

Father and son duo dominate the club championship CRANBOURNE BOWLS A late change to the Cranbourne ladies Division 1 line-up to replace two skips made the task a little harder, but the team depth got them through to win by five shots playing away at Glen Waverley. Meanwhile, playing at home in the club men's pairs championship final, the father and son combination of Joe and Frank Byrne won a thriller during the week. Due to the Australia Day celebrations on Saturday, no pennant bowls were played this weekend.

For the Ladies Division 1, selectors were forced to make a few changes before the game started at the last minute with two skips unable to play. The game started well with the Cranbourne ladies side getting to a 10-shot lead at the lunch break and were playing some very good bowls, but they knew that Glen Waverley would make a late charge.

In the end it was very close but with some good tight bowls it was victory to Cranbourne by five shots. Lead Maree Taylor played some excellent bowls during the day and played her best game of the year that kept her side within reach. Skip Lynne Wood was simply outstanding with excellent support from her side consisting of Maureen Cameron, Joyce Pearce, and Joy McLisky, winning by 12 shots which made sure of overall victory. A six-shot win was recorded by Skip Lois Brock and her crew of Cheryl Wright, Gwen Scott and Sandra Mueller who also had a good day.

Next week Cranbourne takes on 2nd side Edithvale playing away with the winner to take top spot on the ladder.

Cranbourne Ladies 63 (14 points) defeated Glen Waverley 58.

MID-WEEK BOWLS RESULTS Cranbourne 2 Division 2 open 43 (0 points) lost to Dandenong Club 61.

Cranbourne 3 Division 3 open 51 (2 points) lost to Cranbourne RSL 59.

Cranbourne 4 six-a-side open had a bye.

An exciting game took place in the club cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

men's pairs final with Frank and Joe Byrne playing against Doug Boggie and Ian Barrenger. Skip Frank Byrne and his father Joe Byrne got off to a good start but Doug and Ian closed the gap late in the game and certainly had their chances to win.

The game went down to the wire and on the last end, the father and son combination of Joe and Frank Byrne were crowned victors and club champions.

One of the crowd supporters asked Frank who was the better bowler in the family; he replied with a big smile, "Well dad always thinks he is."

Congratulations to both finalists.

BERWICK On January 20, for the fifth time, Berwick Bowling Club hosted the Bowls Vic Integrated Pairs event. There were 42 teams (representing 30 clubs) competing and a great day was had by all.

A huge thanks to must go to the participants who joined in on the day from more than 12 other clubs from around the Melbourne Metro and Gippsland areas. A great day was had by all, with the final results seeing the prizemoney shared among the three greens winners.

NARRE WARREN Due to the Australia Day holiday there was no

Saturday pennant last week. On Tuesday, Division 2 played at Fountain Gate against Edithvale and claimed a win. Eric Sydenham, Willma Haringsma, Colin Groom and Brent Hone had a nice win 24-18, while Wally Finlayson, Iain Stevenson, Rod Lane and Jim Millar won 23-22. This was off-set by Reg Young, Judy Naughton, Arthur Scheurer and Wilma Stevenson who just went down 19-18.

Narre Warren (1) 14-65 defeated Edithvale (2) 2-59.

Division 3 travelled to Keysborough to play Dandenong RSL-Rec. Stan Bulmer, Pam Uren, Alan Mark and Geoff Ampt had a nice win 2415, while Pauline Kempf, Paull McNamara, Keith Mark and Peter Groom just went down 22-20. The trio of Arthur Fitt, Enid Gibb and Philip Howard were always going to have trouble against a four, losing 31-9.

Narre Warren (2) 2-53 lost to Dandenong RSL-Rec (1) 14-68.

The six-a-side team were also at Fountain Gate against Pakenham. Susan Hawkins, Jeanette Cox and Glen Cadman just went down 2321 and Len O'Brien, Peter Wilson and Jacqueline Moody went down 21-15.

Narre Warren (3) 0-36 lost to Pakenham (4) 14-44.

With only five games before finals, Narre Warren has a chance for three of the seven teams to play finals.

In mid-week competition, Division 2 are sitting in fourth place. Division 3 are in ninth place and will need to win to beat the relegation battle.

The six-a-side team are eighth of the nine teams but have won more games than last season, which is a good sign.

In Saturday play, Division 3 are second on the ladder, but will need to keep winning for a home final, while Division 4 are fourth and will need to keep their form to play finals. Division 5 are eighth and a couple more wins against teams below them will keep them in the Division. Division 7 are ninth.

Frank and Joe Byrne took out the Cranbourne club pairs championship.
