Property Lift out

Case for airport By Kyra Gillespie An international airport in the South East is the key piece of anchor infrastructure for the region, says renowned futurist Brian Haratsis. Mr Haratsis addressed the Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast on the subject at the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Wednesday 27 March. The event was fit out with an 'airport theme' - the wait staff wore pilot hats and guests received tickets fashioned as boarding passes upon entry. "This is not just an airport, it will be an aerotropolis," Mr Haratsis said in his opening speech. "The 2000 hectare proposition would include, hotels, conferencing, retail - it would look more like a Melbourne Airport in the future with a business park. "It's not just where planes take off - if you think about the South East you think about air freight - transporting produce like asparagus that grows in the region." Mr Haratsis said the airport could initially be a small terminal that looks something like Gold Coast airport, with potential to expand to an international-scale airport. He said having a third major airport in the region - a project identified as necessary in the Plan Melbourne document - would have farreaching impacts. He said the benefits would be felt from the area stretching from Glen Waverley to the far east of the state. "They key concept of Plan Melbourne to try and keep professionals in the South East is innovation clusters - like Monash, which is a key growth area. We have really unbalanced infrastructure in the South East, and unless something as big as an airport we'll never get that reverse commute." Mr Haratsis highlighted the time it takes to get to Melbourne Airport from the south east, with local commuters often having to factor in congestion. "A reverse commute out to a south east airport would be a lot less expensive and time consuming," he said.

An international airport in the South East has been labelled a key piece of anchor infrastructure for the region "This project would create at least 1000 jobs each year in construction per year, and 6000 ongoing jobs by 2035. "You can imagine the impact on the region; that's like introducing a whole new industrial sector and all the supply-base that goes with that. "This will create a jobs buffer for a region hit by a decline in traditional manufacturing." The airport, which has been on the radar of Cardinia and Casey councils for years - is said to be not only good for commuters and business, but bolster the tourism industry as well. "It's anticipated there will be five million passengers a year by 2031; that would create a gateway into Gippsland for tourism." Mr Haratsis said the business breakfast was a significant step in the making the project come to fruition. "We started in 2012 to get this far; the next two years we'll see sparks fly. Today was like a bit of a launch, to kick it off," he said. While federal funding is preferred, Mr Haratsis did not rule out the possibility of private foreign investment into the project. "If the federal government can spend $3 billion in western Sydney then the same can be spent here. If they even spent $1 billion on the project, that would be enough to build the airport," he said.

Guest speaker Brian Haratis is a best-selling author, thought leader and is regarded by corporate Australia as a leading economic and strategic advisor with major project success in the Australian property sector. 191837 "There's four million people in Melbourne in Canberra they only have 400,000 people and they've got an international airport. Adelaide's got just over one million - it's got an international airport. The South East alone has over one million people. There's no doubt that there's demand and need for an airport in the South East

and it certainly can be accommodated." A $7 billion proposal to build a privatelyowned international airport between Kooweerup and Lang Lang was put forward two years ago but needs federal approval to go ahead. La Trobe MP Jason Wood has thrown his support behind the project.

Miracle triplets were given no chance By Melissa Grant Asha, Jade and Sophie Temby are three little miracles about to celebrate their third birthday. The tough triplets will notch up the milestone on Saturday - an incredible feat given leading medical experts said there was no chance they would all be delivered alive. After being given a heartbreaking medical diagnosis early in their pregnancy, Megan and Adam Temby were advised to abort to two of the girls to save one.

Two of the triplets were sharing a placenta and had developed Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), which results in one baby getting too much blood flow and the other not enough. The disease is deadly - if left untreated the odds of survival are, at best, 10 per cent. Megan and Adam, who live in Skye, were dealt a further blow when they learnt the girls were unable to receive a highly successful medical procedure. “They said ‘do you want to terminate so save one?’” Megan said.

“There are only five surgeons in Melbourne who could do the procedure, so I said ‘can you put our case out there?’ “Four of them said to terminate and save one because there’s just no chance (all would survive). One said to let nature take its course, so they thought they wouldn’t survive. You can read about the Temby triplets incredible story of survival in the autumn edition of Casey Cardinia Kids, which is available for free at family-friendly outlets across the region.

Temple secures federal funding On Sunday 24 March, La Trobe MP Jason Wood announced a funding of $340,000 for Officer's Sikh temple 'Siri Guru Nanak Darbar' located at 33 Officer Road, Officer. The federal cash will be used for various projects, including a language school, play area, organic farming and rain water harvesting. Mr Wood thanked the Sikh community for their initiatives and interactions in La Trobe, particularly their collaborations with 15 community organisations, work for Australia Day, the Bunyip fire relief and Harmony Day. Gembrook MP Brad Battin, Cardinia Shire Mayor Graeme Moore, Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon and Cr Damien Rosario attended the announcement and congratulated the community. "My office had received a very professional proposal from the Officer temple for some community-based, community-focused and community-centred projects," Mr Wood said. Around 665 petitions were received in support of the proposal. The Sikh community had earlier pledged to put in some more of their funds to build ownership of these creative projects. S. Jatinder Singh Uppal donated $170,000, meaning the Officer Sikh community now has $510,000 to spend on these community focused projects. Officer Sikh Gurdwara has earlier received funding from Stronger Communities Program, Pick my Project and Melbourne Water. There was a big congregation who cheered the announcement with traditional Sikh slogans- Bole So Nihal. This announcement was also covered by local Indian magazines and television media.

Man snatches wallet Pakenham police are investigating a theft that occurred at a fast food restaurant in Officer on 20 March.

By Brendan Rees A new $10 million health training facility has opened its doors to students and jobseekers at Chisholm Institute's Berwick campus. Minister for Training and Skills Gayle Tierney joined Member for Narre Warren North Luke Donellan and Member for Narre Warren South Gary Maas at the Kangan Drive site to open the new centre of excellence, which forms part of the Berwick Health and Education Precinct. The facility features nurse training and simulation laboratories, learning areas and staff accommodation to help meet growing demand for skilled health workers in the south east. The precinct will support free TAFE by delivering courses in nursing, mental health and allied health, as well as a training partnership with the Casey Hospital and St John of God Hospital, Specialist Centre. Chisholm chief executive Dr Rick Ede said the aim was to create a learning facility that was "closely as possible resembled an active hospital environment." "The teaching is very active and very hands on. We've got these amazing robotic mannequins that act as a patient," he said, Ms Tierney said the facility would allow local nurses to "access training closer to home, helping to meet increasing demand for skilled health workers in the area." Student Marty Lasker of Pakenham who is studying a Certificate IV in Youth Work said the free TAFE course had given him the opportunity to turn his life around after a lifetime of drug addiction. "If I can redirect their lives at an early stage before they get to the stage that I actually got to then it would change the whole aspect of their lives," he said. Max Grynenko, who is studying a Bachelor of Nursing at La Trobe University in conjunction with Chisholm, said he was excited to use the simulation facility.

City’s crime rate falls By Brendan Rees

It's pretty much close as you can get as the real world scenario," he said. Madeline Heaton, coordinator of health work placements at Chisholm said 300 students had already enrolled in courses. "We're hoping in the next 12 months our placements will really reap the benefits of this simulation," she said. St John of God Hospital Berwick chief executive Lisa Norman said the new facility was important in delivering hands-on learning and practical skills needed for work placements. "When they come on placement to us we know they've actually seen what a ward is like and their skills are being assessed in the right way," she said. Nursing teacher June Lazaro said the stateof-art facilities were amazing in creating scenarios "as real life as possible."

Burglaries have fallen significantly in Casey over the past year, latest crime statistics have revealed. The number of recorded offences in Casey fell by 4.9 per cent while burglaries accounted for a 12.4 per cent drop - down 44 per cent since 2016. Among the biggest reductions were drug use and possession (17.2 per cent), weapons and explosive offences (7.3 per cent), property damage (8.8 per cent), sexual offences (20.9 per cent), stalking, harassment and threatening behaviour (4.5 per cent), thefts (1.8 per cent), and homicide and related offences (32.2 per cent). Casey Local Area Commander Inspector Donald Brown said it was encouraging to see a decrease in the number of burglaries. "Our police have been working extremely hard every day and night to interrupt the crime cycle. We will continue to do all we can to prevent and detect crime in order to ensure the Casey community is safe and feels safe," he said. However, Insp Brown said theft of motor vehicles were up by 18.1 per cent while theft from motor vehicles increased by 17.9 per cent. "We know these types of crimes have been a concern recently and police will continue to proactively target known hotspots in an effort to detect and deter offending," he said. Cranbourne MP Pauline Richards said the decrease in crime was a result of a wellresourced police force proactively policing crime in the community.

"Our police are doing a lot of work to tackle crime issues in our community - and while the headline figures in this release are promising, we will not lose sight of the challenge that the entire community faces to drive down high harm crimes and family violence," she said. Ms Richards said the State Government was committed to boosting police capacity in the area, constructing a new police station in Clyde and rebuilding the Narre Warren Police Station. Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said the statistics showed the lowest victimisation rate across Victoria since 2004. "We know, I know, every Victoria police officer knows this is not just figures. These are people; these are victims of crime who have suffered real life experiences, sometimes very traumatic," he said. "The increase in police resources is having an impact on the number of offences and we would expect that trend to continue as we deploy the remainder of that 3,135 police of the coming years." Gembrook MP Brad Battin said with the overall state-wide rate increasing 1.7 per cent in the year ending 31 December 2018, "worrying trends" were appearing locally with jumps in aggravated robberies and assaults. "The Liberal Party committed to a new station in Clyde, and the Government must deliver this now," Mr Battin said. According to Gordon Rich-Phillips MP, Liberal Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region crime in Casey has risen by 19.3 per cent since December 2014 and called on Premier Daniel Andrews to deliver more frontline police.

I’m sure you will be publishing, front page, Cr Aziz’s response to what happened at that council meeting. It all seems pretty one-sided according to the people interviewed. I contacted Cr Aziz with my view of the proceedings at the meeting according to your article by three people and you just don’t seem to get it. He may have gone about it in a way that didn’t please everyone but even an ordinary citizen like myself could see that Sam was embracing all of humanity and that although it was a terrible act that occurred at Christchurch, some elements of our society only come out of the woodwork kicking and screaming when it affects them. If a terrible incident happens to other members of society, very little is said or done. Cr Aziz was trying to emphasise that we should grieve equally for all members of society; which seems pretty straightforward; and not concentrate on one particular group. Let's see you do a story relating a different view. John N. Carpenter, via email

The Casey circus I want to congratulate Berwick Star News for their front page article and editorial published on Thursday 21st March. The headline “One mad minute” covers a story about events in the City of Casey Council chamber on Tuesday 19 March and it is important that it was brought to the public’s attention. I was present at the meeting during which the council and public gallery were asked four times to rise for a minute’s silence. Firstly, and appropriately led by the mayor we rose to remember those affected by the horrific events in the Christchurch mosques the previous week. However, after this solemn moment, we were then called three times by Councillor Sam Aziz to stand for a minute’s silence. He referred obliquely to events in Nigeria and the Philippines suggesting these were of sufficient impact on our community that they should be acknowledged in this manner and at this time. I know what point he was endeavouring to make. The exercise orchestrated by him diminished the solemnity and sincerity of the attention to Christchurch. In my estimation his actions turned the proceedings into a circus. Name and address supplied

A certain councillor had the gallery stand in silence for one minute, for the gunman’s victims in New Zealand which seemed reasonable. Then it was another minute for what looks like an oil tanker blowing up in Nigeria? Another minute for a cathedral bombed in the Phillipines? A fourth separate minute for all the people council never stood in silence for before? There was an announcement council has budgeted and the surplus is $7.4 million. After which there was not the least suggestion of keeping the rates steady. More the attitude of “What projects might this go on“.

LENSCAPE

Inflatable man on Rebound Court in Narre Warren. 191170 I would suggest to add insult, the same very talkative councillor as before, insulted people who are against nuclear energy and called these folks “hysterical“. This is I would suggest, quite divisive talk. No “harmony“ involved. I would like this city to be “smart“ sure, but sustainable: there are always the issues of tailings outside any uranium mine, and the disposal of the nuclear waste. I don’t know what is the point of saying with such certainty, nuclear energy is “the future“, and I would hope we’d at least try out in a genuine way, some other sustainable options. However spending was then the theme of the evening, and only Cr Rex Flannery was totally against funding more overseas trips for councillors, pursuing “smartness’, and our sister city, and suggested we do need to be well organised for business proposals that are already at our door. Well good on you Cr Flannery. Karen Young, via email

Be smarter I would think with all this emphasis on “Smart Livable City of Casey“ - would a Smart Livable City refuse in future to accept all the garbage that comes currently here in trucks to Hallam Road. Most of this rubbish is not ours, it is collections from several other municipalities round Melbourne. Surely we can opt out of this at some point, having accepted it for so long already. No wonder people in Hampton Park feel like the place is “a tip“; it certainly contains a very large and sometime rather pongy waste station. It would be good to learn from the past and not repeat the same policies and actions. That is one definition of “smart“. Karen Young, via email

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On 25 March a story was shared on the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page about seven teenagers from Cranbourne and surrounding areas that were arrested following an assault of a 23-year-old woman on a Pakenham train. Here is how our readers reacted online: Jodi Johnson: Yep 5am while we are working our butts off to provide for our families by travelling into the city for work. We have the added stress of being afraid now because of these low lifes! Where are their parents? They need to be charged too! Elaine Dickson: No bail just straight to jail. They have lost their right to freedom. About time our laws became tougher. All they'll get is a slap on the wrist. Debbie Launder Campagna: I need to ask, where were the parents? Five am and 15-year-old's. Not good. Mark Guinane: Again they've been bailed! These thugs will continue this behaviour because they know there is virtually zero consequences if they're caught! Nicholas Bennett: What 16-year-old's etc are out at five am? Donna Cooke: Well they may have been charged but I bet they're out on summons to appear in court and then when they go to court they'll be released on a suspended sentence. Jack Savage: This is getting ridiculous. Katrina De La Cruz: There shouldn't be a children's court. If you're stupid enough to do something like this, go straight to the big guns I say. Deb Watson: Bring back the conductors on public transport, and give them the power to stop and arrest.

Car crashes into garage

By Brendan Rees A man has narrowly escaped serious injury after his car collided into a home in Narre Warren South on Wednesday 20 March. SES crews from Narre Warren were called to the scene about 7.20pm where the Toyota Camry sedan was wedged in the roller door of the garage on Ardbalir Terrace. "To my knowledge the driver was able to exit the vehicle. The vehicle didn't have to be cut open or anything like that," spokesman for Narre Warren SES Damian Burns said. "It's just that the car cause such damage that the removal of the car was going to be tricky and didn't know how it was going to affect the stability of the house," he said. To his understanding, the cause of the incident was "operator error." "It wasn't due to drugs or alcohol or anything. "The whole of the roller door was damaged and also the lintel (beam) to the garage which helps hold up the roof," he added. Mr Burns said SES crews were on scene for an hour clearing rubble and putting up tarps until the owner's insurance company inspected the damage at a later date. "The car remained place. The car was helping to support those structures that if they had of been displaced they might of caused further structural damage," he said.

Pup in need of a leg-up By Brendan Rees

Six-month old rescue pup Charm has not had the best start in her short life. She was saved from an abusive owner and arrived at a shelter underweight and with a missing front leg. Debra Jeff of Lyndhurst has been fostering Charm, believed to be a Catahoula/Whippet since January. She says she's "doing OK" but the "long-term outcome is not good." "She's already showing signs of curvature in the spine." The operation is expected to cost $2,000 with the new prosthetic limb to cost about $3,000. "Charm was with a mentally disturbed person that had been banned from having animals, we don't really know what the conditions were like for her, we can only imagine," Debra says. "We are not sure how it happened but we know that she was not born like this." Debra explained Charm's missing leg was putting a "massive strain on her spine." She now suffers from stiffness, limping, restricted movement and rotation, sensitivity to touch, and back pain to name a few as a result.

"Charm will need to have a partial amputation of what is remaining on the limb because at the moment the stump is too sensitive to be able to have a prosthetic fitted comfortably," Debra said. When Charm arrived four months ago at Starting Over Dog Rescue, a registered not for profit charity run by volunteers, "she literally inhaled food" in the first couple of weeks in care. "Because I don't work I put my hand up and said 'yep, we'll take her.'" Charm has been seeing a physio twice a week doing exercises and swimming, and water treadmill to build her muscles and gain core strength.

A lifesaving Pakenham-based venture, spearheaded by a paramedic and a teacher, has received a federal cash injection to provide free first aid training throughout Melbourne's south-east. Tiny Hearts - founded by sisters Rachael Waia and Nikki Jurcutz - will arm 1800 local parents and carers with the skillsets required to save their children in the event of an emergency. In a regional first, 300 parents are also set to be trained bilingually, catering for Chinese and Afghan communities. Their journey began in a garage, but Tiny Hearts now has a headquarters in Pakenham's Industrial Park - proving that business success is attainable under the most challenging circumstances. Ms Waia, a former educator and volunteer first responder, was first aid trained when she was just 15 years old. She is determined to share her vital knowledge with as many parents as possible. "I've got two kids of my own and I know what it's like when they choke and when they're really sick," she said. "Because we've got such a good report built with our parents, we get a lot of feedback where they say, hey, you literally saved our babies' lives. "I love what I do - waking up and making a difference." Tiny Hearts worked in conjunction with the South East Melbourne Primary Health Network to secure the federal grant. The organisation also hopes to reduce the number of inappropriate admissions to the emergency department and create a better

health care system for the entire community. According to government figures, 45 per cent of metropolitan emergency department presentations are non-urgent. Tiny Hearts has also compiled statistics from participants, illustrating the importance of teaching the critical first aid skills. After the course, 98 per cent of parents said they felt more confident to act effectively in an emergency. Almost 50 per cent reported that they had used their acquired infant and child first aid knowledge within six months of undertaking the course. Narre Warren's Shelby Cooke, who performed CPR on her choking two-year-old daughter while paramedics rushed to their home, stressed the importance of first aid training. She believes that had she not received the course through her workplace, her daughter may have suffocated. "I still owe everything to having those skills," she said. "The more people that are equipped with them, the less tragedies we're going to see with children, babies and toddlers. "It's such a frightening thing to go through - so you need to be prepared." The free sessions will be held across the region, including at Beaconhills College, in Pakenham. Topics covered will include choking, fevers, convulsions, burns, drowning, bleeding, caring for an unconscious person, bites and stings and head injuries. Parents or caregivers interested in undertaking the free training can sign up by heading to: www.tinyheartsfirstaid.com/fundedcourse.

A man who stabbed his wife to death in a “frenzied” attack in their Hallam share-house bedroom has been jailed for at least 20 years. In a “bitter” argument during Australia Day drinks, Douglas Eustace, 44, murdered Mary Freeman with a large kitchen knife shortly after midnight on 27 January 2018. It was labelled the “ultimate act of family violence” and the “extreme end of abominable acts” by Supreme Court of Victoria’s Justice Lesley Taylor during sentencing on 26 March. The couple had wed in October 2017, three months after meeting at a party. Before her killing, Ms Freeman retired to the bedroom after a bitter abusive argument with her husband, the court had heard. Eustace grabbed a large knife from the kitchen, secreted it in the back of his trousers and went to the bedroom. During a loud argument, a neighbour heard both parties yelling threats to kill each other. Eustace later told police that Ms Freeman was flipping a paring knife in her hands. He inflicted 12 sharp force wounds up to 10 centimetres deep into Ms Freeman’s body, arm and leg. During the attack, she crouched, cried, screamed and tried to cover herself, the court heard. He was dragged out of the room in a headlock by a housemate but broke free. He stabbed her twice again before being restrained by two male housemates. “Let me go, I want to kill this bitch,” he said. He then surrendered himself to Dandenong police station, telling police he did not know why he stabbed Ms Freeman other than being “angry and drunk”.

He didn’t have the right to take a life, he told police. Ms Freeman had died in physical pain and terror of a “magnitude which is difficult to imagine”, Justice Taylor said. “The reason you ended her life in such a manner is unfathomable. “Your actions were brutal and utterly senseless.” Justice Taylor labelled the marriage as “perhaps of convenience”. Eustace, an Indian national, had met Ms Freeman in Melbourne while he was on a visitors’ visa. He had unsuccessfully proposed to her on the day they met. After their marriage, he was on a bridging visa pending his application for a partner’s visa. Justice Taylor noted the victim impact statements from Ms Freeman’s daughter, sister and ex-husband and three housemates. Their lives were left in “permanent disquiet”, Ms Taylor said. “It’s clear that Ms Freeman was a much loved and valued woman. “By your brutal actions you betrayed her trust and expectation that ... violence, let alone fatal violence, would never be done. “In simple terms, no woman should fear or suffer physical harm because her partner loses his temper.” Eustace had been of previously good character and a history of hard work as a mechanic and platform rigger, the court was told. He’d since shown remorse with a contrite letter to Ms Freeman’s family, organised a prayer group in prison and had good prospects of rehabilitation, Justice Taylor said. Eustace’s application for a partner’s visa was rejected last August. He faces deportation to India after his prison term. He was jailed for up to 25 years, with a nonparole period of 20 years. He had served 423 days in pre-sentence custody.

New home for woodsmen By Jessica Anstice The Berwick Woodworkers Club officially opened their new homestead at the Old Cheese Factory in Berwick. Forming in 1986 and operating out of a private backyard shed in Hampton Park, the Berwick Woodworkers are a group of people committed to creating hand-made toys for those in need, especially those doing it tough during the festive season. Member for Narre Warren South Gary Maas was welcomed by club president Len Preece, vice president Brian Crowe and committee members Elsie Hoare and John McMahon as they officially opened their new homestead on

The official plaque was unveiled by City of Casey Cr Rosalie Crestani, Berwick District Woodworkers Club president Len Preece, vice president Brian Crowe, Cr Susan Serey, Member for Narre Warren South Gary Maas and Damien Rosario.

Saturday 16 March. The Woodworker’s new club space includes a modern workspace, storage area and clubroom where members can master their skills, socialise with friends and continue serving the community through their donations of toys. Mr Maas said he was delighted to meet all the club members in attendance. “The Berwick Woodworkers are a great group of people who make an important contribution to our community,” Mr Maas said. “It was wonderful to witness members showcase their new facility and display their hand-made toys with great pride and excitement.

“This wonderful facility will ensure that the woodworkers can continue to grow and excel in the community.” Currently, the club has more than 80 members. “Along with its increased membership the clubs reputation within the community has also grown, now being recognised, not only for its talented wood artists but also for its dedicated community support,” member Elsie Hoare said. President Mr Preece said on behalf of the club they are very grateful for the support and cooperation they received from the Old Cheese Factory staff.

MRI on Medicare Patients in Berwick will now be able to access lifesaving scans for cancer, stroke, heart and other medical conditions, with the Federal Government announcing a new MRI licence for St John of God Hospital. An MRI is a commonly used medical scan which gives a detailed view of the soft tissues of the body such as muscles, ligaments, brain tissue, discs and blood vessels. It is used by doctors to diagnose and monitor a number of different medical conditions including cancer and trauma or sporting injuries. Member for Latrobe Jason Wood said patients will receive the Medicare-covered MRI services from April. Minister for Health Greg Hunt said the Federal Government is helping Australians stay healthy and keeping down the cost of healthcare for families. “Our plan for a strong economy means we continue to deliver record funding for essential services such as Medicare, public hospitals and life-saving medicines,” Mr Hunt said. “Not only will our new Medicare support ensure patients get better treatment and save money, it will also cut down the amount of time patients travel to get a scan. “The government is committed to delivering improved health services which includes increased hospital funding with an extra $8b for hospitals taking it to $29.5b over five years.”

MAKE THE CALL ASK YOUR ENERGY COMPANY FOR A BETTER DEAL As of January 1st, providers have dropped prices on their most expensively priced plans due to pressure from the Government. But if you really want to save, simply call your energy company and ask them for a better deal. You could lower your bill by $600 a year. Visit our website for tips on calling your energy company.

Communities unite for Harmony Day The community came together to experience rich cultures in celebration of Harmony Day at the Living and Learning Centre in Pakenham on Thursday. Music School of Hope founder sasha Rechichi said Harmony Day is about celebrating cultural diversity in our country. “I believe it’s important to celebrate Harmony day because no matter what ethnic background you come from we all can come together on this day and be one in harmony,” she said. “With racial conflict being at an all-time high this gathering shows that we are no different.” The day consisted of varied performances including African drumming, Sudanese dancing and two group songs were performed by ESL and VCAL students. To top it all off, there was a sign language performance, a vocal act performed by the Men’s Shed and a solo artist performance. “Harmony Day is a time to share the message that ‘everyone belongs’,” Cardinia Shire mayor Graeme Moore said. “This day encourages us all to engage with our community, respect cultural and religious diversity, and foster a sense of belonging for everyone. After all, Australia’s cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths and is at the heart of who we are.” In Cardinia Shire alone, residents originate from an estimated 150 different nationalities. “Our migrant communities continue to

Take a family break at Tambo River The Tambo River Tourist Park at Swan Reach is a great place to spend a short break. Visitors can enjoy scenic drives, visiting the local wineries or fresh fruit farms, cycling the rail trail or taking a bike ride to Metung for coffee. The bush is beautiful and there are many roads to explore, and the possibility of finding ruins of old quarries, mills or machinery left behind from days gone by is always there. The river is perfect for kayaks and boats, and fishing is always a popular pastime. There are plenty of places to enjoy fishing from the bank so a boat is not necessary to hook the best catches. Tambo River offers powered and unpowered sites. Waste disposal is available at all sites and the usual laundry, camp kitchen and barbecue facilities are on hand. As more and more travellers are enjoying extended trips with their 'best friends', Tambo River is pleased to welcome pets to the park. Some restrictions do apply regarding pets

at Christmas and Easter. The park also offers comfortable and affordable cabins in a variety of sizes. The cabins are popular with families and groups. Tambo River welcomes a number of fishing groups during the winter months, and groups of friends and families holidaying together. The village of Swan Reach has a wellstocked general store with post office and newsagency, a hotel providing meals and cold beer, and a service station for fuel, mechanical repairs and fishing gear. Bait, boat repairs and take away food are all available in the neighbourhood. The weather in autumn is usually very mild. Tambo River staff members would love to welcome new visitors to their beautiful part of the world. For booking or further information phone 5156 4314 or visit www.tamborivertouristpark. com, or find Tambo River Tourist Park on Facebook and start planning the next holiday now.

The Lion pride draws level By Russell Bennett WGCA PREMIER DIVISION GRAND FINAL REVIEW The cricketing gods would surely have been smiling down on Toomuc Reserve on the weekend. The grand final rivalry between the Lions and the Demons was already one of the biggest in WGCA history, but on the weekend that went to another level entirely. If it wasn't enough that the two clubs have an almost identical theme song, since Pakenham's first season in the Premier tier - 2011/12 - the head-to-head rivalry between the two first XI sides now sits at nine wins apiece, with three draws. On the weekend, the Lions had to find a way to reverse the trend of the previous two deciders - one that started with a loss in the most astonishing grand final in recent memory, that of 2016/17 when the Demons successfully defended just 113. While Kooweerup scored comfortably more than that this time around, they still fell what felt like 20 to 40 runs short of what could have been a match-winning total. Winning the toss and electing to bat on day one, they were dismissed for 161 with the Lions breaking through at regular intervals throughout their 74 overs. Star Demons captain-coach Mark Cooper was removed for just six in the fourth over of the match - given out caught off Chris Smith. His was clearly the key wicket for the Lions, but when Cooper's opening partner and WGCA legend Chris O'Hara fell for 19 after drinks, the home side could no doubt smell blood in the water. Prior to the clash it was said that the contest could well be decided by some of the more unheralded players from either side and through the Demons' middle order it seemed young guns Tyler Clark (15), Lachie Ramage (17), and Mitch Cammarano (50) would make that become a reality. But that steady flow of wickets - including that of the particularly impressive Cammarano, caught behind by Rob Elston off Tom Tyrrell for 50 - ensured the Lions would stay in the box seat. The young gun aside, only Jess Mathers could reach 20 as Dale Tormey (4/30) and Jason Williams (3/32) struck with regularity. But the impact of Chris Smith (1/28, Cooper's wicket) and Dan Vela (1/14, Clark's) was just as telling. In the past, there'd be no return for the Lions when they failed to make it through the end of day one unscathed. On Sunday, they resumed at 1/1 after the stunning dismissal late on the first day's play of Ben Maroney, triggered LBW to Jess Mathers for a duck. The precarious 1/1 soon became what looked from the outside to be an even more shaky 2/14 on day two, but Jack Anning (32), Smith (13), Tormey (61 in a man of the match performance), Troy McDermott (20 not out), and Elston (23 not out) ensured a reversal of the results from the past two years - with Pakenham squaring the ledger at 2-2 with the Demons in this era. Tormey bludgeoned anything too short or overpitched during a defining innings for Pakenham, while, fittingly, it was Elston who struck the winning runs as his side won by four wickets (6/164). "It was nice, particularly after two years ago when I couldn't do it," he said with more than just a touch of relief after the game. "I was fairly calm, and I knew we had the game in hand a bit more than last time. "Last time we lost wickets at crucial times. "Today (Sunday) we got enough momentum. They're a team that keeps on trying to drag you back, but if you keep scoring enough and staying positive you can start to get on top. "They just know how to get in the game, and they stay in it longer than most teams and that's why they've won four of the past six (titles). It's a massive record." For the Demons, Mathers (2/41), Luke McMaster (2/64), and Cooper (2/40) finished with two wickets apiece. Elston paid tribute to Cooper's Demons and the winning culture at Kooweerup in the wake of the clash - praising their ability to 26 STAR NEWS

bring through so much quality young talent alongside their proven senior stars. Following the clash in the victorious Lions' rooms, club president Phil Anning spoke of the adversity the group had faced this season, and of his pride in not only their efforts but those of each of the club's teams. Pakenham had seven of its 11 sides playing in grand finals. "Just on behalf of the committee, the supporters, and the sponsors and everyone connected to the club, congratulations to the Premier boys on their premiership win," he told the packed room. "I know how hard you've all worked - I've seen it every Thursday night up here, no matter how hot the temperature. You've all worked hard, and to come off two heartbreaking premiership defeats, to see what you had to go through when Dom went down and not be able to play, to see Jack Ryan come back and then not be able to come up, and to see Zac (Chaplin) do his shoulder - the adversity that you blokes have had to go through to win the ultimate is nothing short of remarkable, so I can't be more proud of a group of blokes. "It's just amazing, and I think the other thing that we should look at as a club is that today we had seven sides playing a grand final. That is an outstanding achievement. "It just goes to show that the culture, and who you people are, is shown through what you bring to the club, what you do at the club, and how you represent the club and I could not be prouder to be president of such a wonderful organisation."

The Warriors boast a 2-0 record. The Youth League 2 women also grabbed a close win, taking care of the Mornington Breakers at home on Saturday night. The Warriors simply owned the rebound battle as Alahna Arnason (21 rebounds and 16 points) dominated on both ends of the court. The Breakers simply had no answers for Arnason as she battled all night long under the basket, helping the Warriors to a 71-

The Pakenham Warriors picked up some close wins in Big V basketball action over the weekend, highlighted by the Division 2 men's threepoint win over the Eagles in Craigieburn on Sunday. The Warriors were led by Ben Gaze (23 points and 5 rebounds) and Josh Dow (22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals), who were the lone Pakenham players to score over six points. The pair led the Warriors home in a thriller, 74-71. The Warriors remain undefeated this season with a 2-0 record. Meanwhile, the Division 2 women suffered their first loss of the season, falling to the Mornington Breakers on Saturday night at Cardinia Life. The Warriors struggled mightily from behind the arc, connecting on just 4/25 shots from deep. In a game that saw both teams unable to get going on offence, it was Mornington's defence that stood the tallest to lead them to a 58-50 win. Pakenham was led by Jacinta Maxwell (10 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists) and Ellie Coutts (7 rebounds, 6 points and 5 assists) in a tough night at the office. The team now owns a 1-1 record. Prior to the Division 2 men scoring a rousing win over Craigieburn on the road, the Youth League 2 men also completed a tight win over the Eagles in the first game of the double-header. Despite not hitting their triples (5/33), turning the ball over 21 times compared to 13 for Craigieburn and only dishing out 8 assists compared to 13 from their opponents, the Warriors stayed in the game with a determined effort in the paint and on the boards. Ned Weideman (14 points and 10 rebounds), Tom Greer (12 points and 7 re-

FOOTBALL VICTORIA STATE LEAGUES REVIEW - ROUND 1 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH/EAST Doveton SC began life in the top-tier of state league soccer with a barnstorming 2-0 victory over St Kilda SC at Waratah Reserve on Saturday afternoon. The Doves got on the board in the 38th minute with a strike from Simon Mur, before Wayne Gordon found the back of the net just after the half-time break to seal the points. Casey Comets, meanwhile, also started the year off brightly by knocking off Beaumaris SC 1-2 at Beaumaris Secondary. The Comets faced a stern challenge after going in to half time 1-1, but found the match winning point in the second half in what will fill them with supreme confidence. STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH/EAST Berwick City SC looms as a team to watch this season after defeating Doncaster 0-2 at Anderson Park to begin their 2019 campaign. City had complete control over the contest,

leading 0-1 at half time before adding to the scoreboard in the second half in a dominant performance. Skipper James Neighbour and Senahid Tokalic were the goal scorers for City, who will now take on Peninsula Strikers at Centenary Park this Saturday. STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH It was a brutal start to the season for Pakenham United, going down 0-5 at home to newcomers Tullamarine FC at IYU Recreation Reserve. United were simply not able to keep up with their opposition, outplayed from the outset and will need a swift response this weekend.
