By Jessica Anstice

The band performed six concerts in two weeks and spent the final week of their Europe tour sightseeing.

Cardinia Civic Concert Band (CCCB) just returned home after their trip of a lifetime.For the second year, the band toured Germany and the Czech Republic during April.The band performed six concerts in two weeks and spent the final week of their Europe tour sightseeing.

Highlights included performing in a palace (Schloss Lingner in Dresden), marching in the parade at the Nuremberg Folk Festival and the combined concerts with their new friends in Windwerk (Berlin), Jugendbrass (Leipzig) and Mestska Hudba Frantiska Kmocha Kolin (Kolin, CZ).

The band also enjoyed visiting the Berlin Wall, Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein castles, the Old City of Prague, Bach’s resting place at St Thomaskirsche

in Leipzig, the medieval town of Rothenburg and the beer halls of Munich, amongst many other highlights.

Back on home soil, the band is now preparing for their annual concert, featuring guest artist Rhonda Burchmore at Bunjil Place.

With a smile that could light up the Sydney Opera House and a voice that’s as big, bold and colourful as Uluru, Rhonda Burchmore has endeared herself to the hearts of all Australians.

CCCB are thrilled to have Rhonda front the band this August.

The band is also building its numbers through the development of its intermediate band.

The intermediate band caters for beginner to AMEB grade four musicians, with members ages ranging from eight to 60.

More shops loom

By Mitchell Clarke Pakenham is already spoilt for choice when it comes to supermarkets yet residents will soon have another place to grab their groceries, with a brand new retail complex currently in the process of being developed.

The development on the corner of Racecourse Road and Henry Street will feature a yet to be decided supermarket and 11 other shops, as well as a gymnasium and medical centre on a site which is just over 3500 square metres.

Alongside the retail complex, a housing de-

velopment of 53 residential townhouses, each with two to three bedrooms is underway.

Following direction from VCAT, Cardinia Shire Council issued the proposal with a planning permit on 18 March this year.

Despite initial concerns on the rumour mill about the development being multiple storeys high, a representative from Cardinia Council has confirmed that the highest point of the development is proposed to be two storeys.

Star News Group spoke with the developer, Oreana Property Group who said the progress of the project is coming along quite nicely.

“We are currently in the process of starting the leasing campaign,” an Oreana spokesperson said.

Oreana have confirmed that works on the retail space will begin in the upcoming months, with construction expected to take a year.

It’s expected the complex will be open for business by mid-2020.

Meanwhile, the residential space is expected to take nine months to build, with the completion date penned for some time in the late second quarter of 2020.

No snags in saving lives

By Brendan Rees Smart technology currently being used in barbecues in parks around Casey could take on a whole new role in saving lives.

Casey Council will begin talks with Victoria Police in the way it uses the ground breaking technology to roll-out personal panic alarms.

Councillor Sam Aziz, who led an urgent business motion at a council meeting on 4 June, said council was “thinking outside the square” in its approach to becoming a ‘smart city.’

He said the devices would use the same built-in wireless technology used to notify council when smart barbecues had a fault.

“If the technology already exits why not use

it for a completely different purpose which is to provide that safety assurance?” Cr Aziz said.

He said the mechanics of how the personal safety alarm would work were yet to be explored. However, when triggered, the personal alarms would send an emergency alert to triple zero.

“It’s absolutely ground-breaking,“ Cr Aziz said.

“If you can imagine ... you’ve got an assailant following you and is about to attack you, how difficult it would be to get out your mobile phone and actually physically dial triple zero?

It would be impossible,” he said.

“At the click of a button it can access triple zero and get a police response out there.

The latest data from the Crime Statistics Agency showed assaults and related offences in Casey were down 3.85 per cent; abduction and related offences up 84 per cent; stalking, harassment and threatening behaviour up 6.07 per cent; while crimes against the person as a whole were down by 3.34 per cent.

Shadow Minister for Community Safety David Southwick said: “While we must always be open to new ways to improve community safety, calls to police are only effective if there are sufficient frontline officers in the local area who are ready and able to respond.”

“Daniel Andrews must ensure Victoria Police have the frontline resources they need to respond promptly to emergency calls for assistance,” he said.

Cr Aziz said the safety devices would be accessible to all residents, including the homeless.

The panic alarms would also use GPS coordinates to pinpoint the exact location of a person in trouble, Cr Aziz explained.

“Can imagine how more amazing that would be in terms of enhancing the security and liveability of our residents?

“People can argue that it can be abused and misused but every single device would an electronic signature that is assigned to the person who has asked for it.”

Cr Aziz said capabilities such as range and accessibility would be discussed with Victoria Police.

Hoon picks wrong place to burn out

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Leonard Hermawan of Narre Warren South will compete in Channel 9’s blockbuster reality show, Australian Ninja Warrior.

Leonard vies to become next ninja warrior

By Brendan Rees Break dancer Leonard Hermawan hopes his agility and explosive moves will help him get across the line in his quest to become a ninja warrior.

The 33-year-old from Narren Warren South will be a contestant on Channel Nine’s reality smash hit, Australian Ninja Warrior in July.

The all-new supersized course will be hosted in Spotswood alongside the Science works museum in Melbourne.

Leonard, who is a sport therapist, will join 200 contestants in the hunt for the $100,000 grand prize as they must complete the gruelling and high intensity obstacle course in re-

cord time.

He is no stranger to physical challenges. He started breakdancing at the age of 16 and has competed in dance battles around the world.

The former student of Maranatha Christian School in Endeavour Hills also loves skateboarding, and playing basketball and soccer.

Upper-body exercises have been the focus of his training in preparation for the show, he says.“I’ve been break dancing for a while now, and I know my body and I trust what I do so I thought, ‘Yep, why not just try out for the show and give it a go?’ he said.

“Doing a lot of monkey swings ... it could be at a park or at the rock climbing gym or at one of the ninja training sites. I do quite a lot at

home with the backyard set up.”

Leonard, who will carry the nickname ‘Bboy lion’ into the show, which stems from the time he used to have large hair similar to a lion when he was younger, says taking on the obstacle course for the first time will be a big task.

“I kind of treated it as I’m just dancing. I guess not too nervous.”

“Being a rookie I’m really pumped ... I just prepared myself for the worst.

“I have been on camera before but not really like high production - it’s a big thing,” he said.

Australian Ninja Warrior premieres on Monday 8 July at 7.30pm on Channel 9.

“ESCAPE THE WINTER CHILLS”

A P-plate hoon has mistaken an unmarked police car for his friend’s vehicle and dropped a burnout that covered the cop car with smoke, a court has heard.

The driver had been earlier spotted by police travelling at a “fast rate” on Clyde Road, Berwick, about 3.10am on 9 January.

As he stopped at traffic lights to turn onto the Monash Freeway, the police car pulled up behind him.

The driver’s vehicle was stationary for a short time before performing the burnout.

Police intercepted him soon afterwards on the freeway on-ramp.

According to police, the “apologetic” hoon told them he was “mucking around” because he thought the car behind him was his friend’s.

The man’s lawyer told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 2 July that the man toiled for a long time to get his probationary licence due to a learning disability.

The warehouse worker had relationship difficulties at the time - which led to his “stupid behaviour”, the court heard.

“This is an out-of-character incident for this young man.”

The man had committed a prior careless driving offence in December.

He was sentenced to a diversion program, which included attending a road-trauma awareness seminar.

Magistrate Sharon McRae told the man that he was a “bit unlucky” to have targeted a police vehicle, but dropping burn-outs could have fatal consequences.

“Even if it was a friend, it shouldn’t make any difference. Do you know how many mates kill other mates (on the road)?

“What we know is that young men on Pplates keep driving stupidly and keep killing people.”

Ms McRae advised the man to drive “very conservatively”.

“Drive like an old person like me. Drive like a magistrate.

“I need you to drive like a mature responsible adult, not like a kid.

“I need you to grow up a bit.”

The man was ordered to take part in a safedriving program as part of a 12-month goodbehaviour bond.

He was spared conviction.

THREE … school holiday day trips

1

Do you want to build a snowman?

The snow season has officially started! Living in the south east, we are lucky to have some great nearby options for anyone keen to get their snow bunny on, including Mt Baw Baw and Mt Donna Buang. Head off early so you can stop for breakfast at a scenic country town along the way. And don’t forget the snow chains!

2

See the whales These giants of the deep are beginning their migration to their breeding grounds. Southern right whales can be seen between June and October off the coast of Victoria. Phillip Island’s annual Whale Festival runs from July 5 to July 7 - take the binoculars and head out to one of many whale watching points.

3

Head for the hills There’s plenty to see and do in the Dandenongs. Lolly shops with both old and new favourites will keep the kids fuelled up while providing that nostalgic hit for the parents, or you can wow the family with the view from Sky High. The multitude of walking trails crisscrossing the hills will tire them out for a quiet ride home.

What is your favourite holiday spot?

Definitely Perth. It’s a great area, laid back and relaxed.

What is your favourite book?

The Girl on the Train. A different sort of story with a bit of a twist.

At school I... was they shy and quiet one.

Man on thief’s trail

By Brendan Rees Aaron Khalid Osmani died following a shooting in Prahran.

Man charged over shooting

The 8 by 5 trailer, worth $5,000 was allegedly stolen from the front of a Narre Warren South home.

"It's just happening too often."

"There's street lights at the corner of Glasscocks and Narre Warren - Cranbourne Road.

Surely there's camera or footage there," Mr Rydquist said.

The trailer is described as black, eight by five tandem trailer, with registration Z33 655. It also has Ramco Tailers signwriting.

Mr Rydquist has appealed for information on Facebook's Casey Crime Page.

Narre Warren police have been handed the footage and are investigating. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A vehicle is captured on CCTV allegedly towing the stolen trailer in Narre Warren South.

Homicide Squad detectives have charged an 18-year-old man after a Narre Warren South man was gunned down in a drive-by shooting at a Prahran nightclub in April.

Security guard Aaron Khalid Osmani, 37, was shot while standing outside Love Machine nightclub. He died in hospital on Sunday 14 April.

His sudden death shocked friends and family who described him as a “kind, funny and easy going guy.”

Detectives also executed a search warrant at a property on Linacre Drive, Bundoora about 10.20am on Monday 1 July.

The Bundoora man has been charged with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder and will face the Melbourne Magistrates Court.

Police have also charged a 25-year-old man with accessory after the fact to murder/assist principal offender, prohibited person possess firearm, stalking, make threats to kill and other offences.

He has been remanded to appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 2 July.

Another man died following the drive-by shooting, and another four people were injured.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppers.com.au.

A man in a sling has attempted to chase down thieves who were stealing his trailer from his Narre Warren South home.

Landscaper and concreter Brendan Rydquist said he had been inside his house on Thursday evening, 27 June when he heard the culprits and rushed to try and stop them.

"I heard the bang and that was them taking off, driving it off from the nature strip," he said.

"By the time I got out they were 400 metres up the road."

Mr Rydquist, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, said he had viewed CCTV footage from his neighbour's house which showed two men jumping out of a car about 7.50pm.

"You see two images of guys hopping out and going to the trailer, and then a guy comes back around the corner and reverses in with it," he said.

"The second footage is them driving out of my street onto Glasscocks road and that's where it's lit up more."

The getaway car appeared to be a Toyota Hilux, he said.

Adding to his frustration was the fact that the trailer, worth $5000, was brand new and hadn't been insured.

"It was a replacement trailer of the one we got written off in January."

"I had a trailer lock on it all the time and I unhooked it before surgery, and forgot to put it back on.

"I was in hospital this week so it's been sitting there for about four days.

"What I reckon is they've sussed the place out a few times," he said.

He said his street was not lit up "so you just see a car and headlights."

The trailer was empty at the time, he said, and expressed his disbelief with the incident:

“There are small amounts of pollution produced, but the vast majority is captured within the emissions control system.”

Mr Petherbridge said waste-to-energy was not a threat to recycling.

“It will always be more expensive to dispose of waste at a combustion facility, so the economics alone should protect ‘viable’ recycling.”

OPINION 1213066-EPJ04-16

David W Bull Funeral Directors Provide understanding care and personal service.

Australian owned family business since 1979.

Dandenong South recycler Ward Petherbridge says recycling and advanced waste processing are both vital parts of the landfill-crisis solution.

Greater Dandenong is exploring the procurement of a waste-to-energy combustion facility, in response to the likely closure of SUEZ Hallam tip by 2028.

“Currently a large amount of waste is being transported day and night, through the tunnel and over the West Gate to the mega tips in Ravenhall and Wollert,” Mr Petherbridge said.

“This is not a sustainable long-term option.

“The volumes will be too great and the roads are already congested enough.”

The director of Smart Recycling visited combustion plants in China as part of a Greater Dandenong Council delegation several years ago.

His preferred solution is a high-tech combustion plant with mechanical biological treatment to sort recyclable and organic waste.

“This is a more expensive option and I suspect as with most countries, the cheapest and

However, he expected ‘unviable’ low-grade mixed plastic would be diverted into the combustion plant instead of recycling - until companies invested in washing and granulating facilities.

“It is vitally important that recycling is given priority over combustion.

“Measures may need to be taken by Government to ensure the less viable areas of recycling such as plastic recycling is assisted to increase available processing.”

Reducing waste at the source was the best way forward, followed by re-use, then recycling and then recovery through waste-to-energy plants, Mr Petherbridge said.

The worst solution was to continue with landfill.

“It is simply burying the problem for future generations to have to deal with.

“Also landfills produce large amounts of methane, which is 24 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

“Ironically, by combusting the waste and controlling the emissions, I think this is the choice of lesser evils.”

Intruders cause dextensive damage to Woolworths Selandra Rise.

Shop raid

Intruders allegedly reversed a car into the Woolworths store in Clyde North.

Broken glass doors were removed. don’t use their own cars.

“If they’re prepared to break into the shopping centre then they’re more than prepared to do that,” he said.

He added the incident was not something that had “occurred in the area of late.”

No tools had been left behind in the store, he said. “Nothing at this stage ... We’re hoping at some stage they’ll turn up in the car and they’ll have something in there.”

A staff member at a nearby shop, who did not wish to be named, said: “This centre has been hit quite a few times.”

“Some of the stores have been hit twice ...

It’s a bit nerve wracking when you know it happens where I work.”

12420891-RC28-19

At least two bandits are on the run after using a car to ram raid a supermarket in Clyde North on Tuesday morning, 2 July.

Police are searching for the pair who reversed a car, believed to be a four-wheel-drive, into the roller doors at Woolworths Selandra Rise on Linsell Boulevard about 2.30am.

Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Dwyer of the Eastern Region Crime Squad said detectives were in the process of obtaining CCTV footage and were yet to determine what was stolen.

“It’s either potentially bugger all or potentially a whole lot,” he said.

Sen Sgt Dwyer said the intruders allegedly tried to access cash and were in the store between three to four minutes.

“There was a security guard on site as they left. They attended because of the alarm but by the time they got there the four-wheel-drive had driven out and left.”

Sen Sgt Dwyer said no arrests had been made and were investigating.

Woolworths confirmed no staff members were in the store at the time.

“We are currently supporting police with their investigations into the incident,” a Woolworths spokesperson said.

“Woolworths Selandra Rise is currently open for business and we’re looking forward to welcoming our customers in store.”

Sen Sgt Dwyer said the damage was “extensive” with the store closed for part of the day while police investigated the crime scene.

“They’ve used a number of tools to gain access,” he said.

“There’s at least two offenders involved.

“You’re looking at tens of thousands (of dollars) once you put in two sets of sliding doors, and roller door and everything else.”

It’s believed the car involved was stolen, Sen Sgt Dwyer said, adding he was unable to confirm the make or model.

“It’s one of those ones where generally they

Tooradin’s bridge too far?

By Brendan Rees A stoush has erupted between ratepayers and Casey Council over Tooradin's iconic footbridge which remains closed the public due to its decaying state.

Council is adamant a new bridge will be built with planning and designing for a replacement bridge to be undertaken during the second half of this year and early 2020.

"We will also need to then consult with stakeholders including State Government departments, the Foreshore Committee, Tooradin Business Association (TBA) and the local community before a design is finalised, which we hope will achieve a great outcome for everyone," Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said.

"Unfortunately, it is not as simple as repairing and replicating what is there as there are current standards we need to ensure the bridge complies with."

But the TBA's secretary Rochelle Halstead, whose group have started a petition to save the bridge which is a major drawcard for tourism, says it had been "known for a while that the time was coming that it would need to be replaced."

"I think that's awful because it's incredibly important piece of infrastructure for Tooradin," she said.

"It's easy to sit back now and say 'well the planning's got to be done' but the community now has to be without that bridge for two years."

Ms Halstead also hit back at Balla Balla

Casey councillor Geoff Ablett says preliminary design work has started for a replacement footbridge.

Disappointed staff and students of Tooradin Primary School want the footbridge opened as soon as possible.

Ward councillor Geoff Ablett saying she tried to call him twice about the matter without a response despite Cr Ablett telling Star News he had no record on his phone. She says she has

since received an email from Cr Ablett.

Cr Ablett said preliminary design work had started for a replacement footbridge.

He also wrote a letter to the TBA saying:

"Once the necessary planning and design work has been done, and a cost estimate prepared, this project will then be considered at the next budget consideration."

"The safety of our residents is council's most important priority," he stated.

Cr Ablett said he had also requested signs be put up around the town advising residents of a replacement bridge.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess has also thrown his support behind residents, requesting the State Government urgently repair the bridge as it was an "iconic asset that greets visitors to the town and connects both sides of Tooradin."

Nigel Kilpatrick, a teacher at Tooradin Primary School said it was hard to access the foreshore for students to undertake science activities while the footbridge was closed.

Helen, who works at Tooradin's Pelican Cafe said the bridge "plays a big part in Tooradin" and its closure was impacting on businesses.

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region

Not so fast fashion

By Danielle Kutchel As the fashion industry speeds up, one Berwick designer is slowing it all down.

At the age of just 21, Christina Hewawissa has created and launched her own ethical and sustainable fashion label, Rosa Rosa The Label.

Combatting the consumerism that dominates shopping malls, Rosa Rosa is all about making more sustainable fashion choices, using fabrics and practices that don’t cost the earth.

After accelerating her university degree, Ms Hewawissa landed a job with another brand where she quickly gained hands-on experience in every aspect of running a fashion business - but she wasn’t happy.

“The way that they worked was super unsustainable,” she explains.

Feeling guilty for pressuring offshore workers to meet unrealistic deadlines, and for contributing to serious environmental harm and endangering animals due to the fabrications being used, she quit and decided to go out on her own, using a brand template she had developed during her time at Billy Blue College of Design.

Six months in, the business is growing and Ms Hewawissa is confident she made the right decision.

She still lives at home, working from her parents’ garage, which has allowed her to invest everything in her business without the worry of meeting mortgage payments.

Owning her own label was always a dream but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

“I definitely didn’t think I’d be this young.

But the opportunity came up!” she laughs.

Rosa Rosa was officially launched in March and the second collection dropped in early June. The clothes are made in Melbourne and are 100 per cent vegan. Ms Hewawissa, who designs every piece, says the label is quirky and fun and based on things she enjoys wearing rather than being a slave to trends.

While she has a seamstress make the clothes, Christina creates the sample stock. 195094 As well as being available online, Ms Hewawissa has secured a spot in Design A Space, a Fitzroy store showcasing independent Australian designers.

Now, she is gearing up for an appearance at Brisbane Fashion Week in August, a city with a growing interest in sustainable fashion, where she will launch her new season collection.

“I’m excited for that because with Spring, you can play with it more, it’s more fun.

“I’ve put in so many hours on these and some days are easy, some days are just unbelievably hard. I haven’t really fully enjoyed my brand because I’ve been working so hard on it, but I think I’ll be happy at Fashion Week because I will be able to step back and relax and look at it all come together.”

She’s also keen to connect with her Brisbane customer base and with other designers, and use the opportunity to increase her

brand’s recognition.

As a one-woman-show, Ms Hewawissa wants her brand to grow organically.

She has her eye on expanding her range in the future once she has established a loyal customer base - into menswear, children’s wear and perhaps a range of sustainable shampoos and body scrubs.

“It’s slowly evolving and I think that if you put pressure on it it’s going to be really restricting and it’s going to hurt it,” she says.

Ms Hewawissa credits her steady approach to her mother, who encouraged her to pursue her dreams and be happy.

“My mum showed me that everything can be done no matter what you go through - not from a fashion point of view or business or anything, but no matter what you go through you can get it done if you want to get it done.”

Casey’s call to capitalise on tourism boom Leaders from across the region’s tourism industry joined together to network and discuss regional tourism opportunities for the local economy when City of Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon hosted the annual Mayor’s Business Leaders Dinner.

Held at Bunjil Place on Friday 14 June, Cr Stapledon was thrilled to welcome approximately 80 guests, including community members, local business owners, fellow Casey councillors and members from the state and federal governments, to the exciting event.

Board members from the recently formed Casey Cardinia Visitor Economy Inc. also attended. As the region’s new tourism board, this dedicated group has set its sights on energising the visitor economy and injecting visitors into the region.

Speaking at the dinner, Cr Stapledon said the global visitor economy was set for “continued growth“, presenting exciting opportunities for the local area. She highlighted the benefits of tourism to the wider business community and said that increasing visitation to the region would bolster the broader economy.

“Considering we, as the Casey Cardinia Region, are still in our infancy as a visitor destination, expenditure by all key markets is strong and continues to grow each year,” she said.

“In the 2015/16 financial year, more than $462 million was generated for tourism and hospitality sales in our region; additionally, over this time, our region hosted almost 3,000 jobs across these two industries.

“We are well placed to capitalise on this growth, and with a great diversity of existing and emerging tourism assets, I am very excited for what’s to come.”

It came as police were led on a two-hour wild pursuit which began about 12.30pm after a four-wheel-drive was allegedly stolen from Cranbourne.

The vehicle was later set alight, police say, before the speedsters fled in a station wagon and later hijacked a ute in Hampton Park.

The ute crashed where police say the driver was seen getting out carrying a rifle, which was used to carjack a Ford ute in Carrum Downs.

Witnesses say they saw the vehicle drivdriv ing i on the wrong side of the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne.

New leadership at Casey

By Nick Creely There’s plenty happening at Casey-South Melbourne.

The Bloods - off the back of a hugely promising Victorian Premier Cricket campaign last season - have made a raft of changes as they look to break into the top eight and continue to make their presence felt in the south-east corridor.

With the tragic passing of Ross Hibbins this year, the Swans have announced Shaun Petrie as the new club president, with the well-known cricketing identity looking forward to carrying on Hibbins’ brilliant work and help establish the club even further in the local community.

“Following a tragic year with the very sad passing of our club president Ross Hibbins, I’m extremely humbled and honoured to be asked to get on board with Casey South Melbourne,” he said.

“Make no mistake; we’re out to give the established premier clubs a real run for their money this season.

“We’re building on South Melbourne Cricket Club’s long distinguished history with a new working-class attitude.

“We’re a Cranbourne sporting club, we’re going to embrace the community we live in and represent it very well.”

The Swans, under Petrie’s leadership, are looking to invest largely in the Damian Fleming Academy for young talent, and establish a closer connection with local cricket club and the local multicultural community.

From an on-field perspective, the Swans under newly appointed coach Brian Keogh - the man who last took the club to Premier finals - have been highly active in the off-season, with the huge re-signing of Sussex batsman Luke Wells and the return of gun batsman Nathan Freitag, after a stint in Tasmania, bolstering an already impressive batting unit.

Blake Mills has also returned to the club after a brief stint back at his home club, Morwell.

After a successful stint in the Swans’ Super Slam side, Hallam Kalora Park all-rounder

Jordan Hammond (centre) has joined Casey-South Melbourne after starring for the Swans as a guest player in the Twenty20 tournament. 188123 Picture: ROB CAREW Jordan Hammond will join the club on a permanent basis, West Bentleigh star Nick Huttley will also join the club to further bolster the bowling, while former country second XI player Steve Sandhu will join after moving to the area.

Keogh said that the list is building nicely, and was thrilled to have the majority of the playing

list from last year also commit once again.

“I have been working closely with Craig Lambden, our director of cricket and Matt Pearson our head of development in the retention of our playing list from last season,” he said.

“It looks like we will have as much as 95 per cent of our players returning this season. It’s a

great result and in part, reflects the culture we are looking to build.”

The Swans have also tinkered with its coaching structure, with former first-class player Will Carr - who has more recently been involved with Berwick - joining as a part-time bowling coach, with former Swans coach Brett Lewis returning as an assistant.

Lions set to celebrate 126 years of pride and passion Pakenham will celebrate the pride and passion built over a 126-year journey when its football and netball communities come together at the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Saturday 20 July.

The football club has been an integral part of the town since opening its doors in 1893, winning 30 senior premierships to be at one stage the second most successful club in Victoria.

And the netball club also has a very proud history to celebrate, with many great stories to tell since the netballers won the premiership in their first year in 1939.

A lot can happen in 126 years, but one thing that has stayed strong at Pakenham is the pride and passion its members have for their mighty club. Pakenham has a strong and proud history that was built on solid foundations.

It saw the club have its original start in Dandenong District to then being a founding member of the West Gippsland Football League.

The club is strong and resilient and has shown these traits in abundance with recent moves to the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League (MPNFL), the South East Football Netball League (SEFNL) and its current home in AFL Outer East.

These strong and robust foundations enable the current committees and members to continue building the club for the successful future.

Both sports have played a huge role in the history of this great club.

Netball commenced in 1939, when at a tennis tournament the girls decided it would be great to play a sport alongside the footballers.

Bridie McGrath suggested a basketball competition should begin, and from here the club was formed with Lorna Anderson being announced as the first president of the club and the inaugural meeting held on 12 April, 1939.

18 STAR NEWS

Thursday, 4 July, 2019

It was moved at this meeting that the netball would follow the football draw and this tradition has continued to current day.

Pakenham won netball premierships in 1939 and '40 before the association went into recession because of the war. In April 1945 it was reformed with 10 teams registered.

In 1979 the netball club fell on tough times with life member Willie Blackwood becoming president and taking the club from strength to strength. Many premierships were won with a strong committee assisting with the growth of the West Gippsland competition.

Pakenham has been at its current home at Toomuc Reserve since 1997 and is excited about recent funding which will provide an upgrade to its facilities to cater for women's sport. Netball and women's football are sure to play a huge role in the future of this club.

Over the years the football and netball clubs have formed a strong alliance and share their pride in being involved with a dynamic community and club spirit.

Both clubs have a strong desire to develop their junior pathway and are extremely proud of their home grown talent which has made its way to the senior ranks.

There have been many inspiring leaders, members and players from both sports during the journey and these people will be honoured for their contribution on the night. They will have an opportunity to talk about all the great memories that have been made, as well as celebrating the current history and looking to the future.

Tickets are available for this event, at $55 per person which includes a two-course meal with drinks at bar prices. Enquiries can be made to Sarah O'Neill, netball club secretary, on 0419 599 556, or to 'China' Holland on 0418 336 124.

Tickets are also available by emailing pakenhamfc@bigpond.com

Pakenham will celebrate its 126-year journey at a special function at the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Saturday 20 July. 192494 Picture: ROB CAREW pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Berwick’s fantastic four

By Hayley Wildes Berwick College Basketball Academy is creating opportunities and pathways for those looking to take their basketball game to the next level.

With so much talent coming through the school's ranks, it's clear that the students are taking those opportunities with both hands.

Recently, in what was an incredible achievement for the academy, a school-record four teams were crowned state champions at the 2019 Victorian College Championships (VCC).

Held at the State Basketball Centre, just getting to the state finals is an achievement in itself and Berwick College's Division 1 and 2 intermediate (Years 9 and 10) boys, along with the Division 1 junior (Years 7 and 8) boys and girls took home gold medals.

What made the junior boys' grand final even more impressive for the school was the fact that two Berwick College teams faced off against one another - further highlighting the depth of talent.

"It was fantastic; having the two boys teams play off against each other in the grand final was pretty exciting," Berwick College Basketball Academy director Chris Pentland said.

"They all treat each other really well, but it was good that they both ended up playing in that game and it was played in good spirit."

For the junior girls, their road to glory wasn't easy. A semi-final clash against Templestowe went right down to the wire.

After trailing by as many as 13 points early in the contest, Berwick College stormed back into the contest. Trailing by two points with 4.2 seconds on the clock, Tamsyn Carr drained a clutch two-point bucket through contact and the foul was rightfully called.

She headed to the free throw and calmly completed the three-point play to give Berwick College a nail-biting win.

Berwick College's junior boys and girls were crowned 2019 Victorian College Champions recently.

The academy continues to go from strength to strength and in its sixth year, the balance between academics and basketball is helping students excel in both aspects.

"The academic side is always first at Berwick," Pentland said.

"We don't take them out of any of their main classes, so they really have to focus on getting that part right and then the basketball is the cherry on top of that."

Superstar young gun Jaz Shelley blazed a trail in terms of earning a scholarship to play college basketball in the USA, and it looks like others are soon set to follow.

"For a lot of the kids their goal is to go off and play college basketball," Pentland added.

"Jaz Shelley was in our program and she is off to the University of Oregon and a couple of others got college offers, but didn't want to go last year. Students here are starting to get college offers now which is good to see.

Picture: SUPPLIED "A lot of high-level kids are coming not only for our basketball program, but because our academic results are really strong too.

"It helps having both facets for the kids because if they do want to pursue a college career, they've obviously got to get the academic results too."

With another four state titles to Berwick College's name, the junior teams will head to the national championships in December with hopes of bringing home more silverware.

In Round 14 Big V basketball action, both of Pakenham men's teams came away with wins, while the women couldn't quite take the points.

For the Division 2 men, a trip up to Wangaratta to take on the North East Bushrangers was never going to be easy, but they got the job done courtesy of a great team effort.

Daniel Steen (20 points and 7 rebounds) and Josh Dow (12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists) led the way as five Warriors scored in double figures on their way to an 81-75 win.

The win sees Pakenham improve to 12-6 on the season to sit fourth.

The Division 2 women fell agonisingly short in their top-of-the-table clash against Melbourne University.

The Warriors got great production from Daphnee Frieson (18 points and 10 rebounds) and young gun Ellie Coutts (14 points and 14 rebounds), but it wasn't quite enough as the Black Angels claimed a thrilling four-point win, 63-59.

With an 11-3 record, Pakenham sits second on the ladder.

noon, waltzing to a mammoth 111-56 win.

In one of the most dominant performances in recent memory, the Warriors dished out 28 assists compared to just 11 from the Breakers, as well as outscoring Mornington 66-24 in points in the paint.

Ned Weideman (27 points and 10 rebounds), Aaron Davidson (19 points on 100 per cent shooting) and Tom Greer (14 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists) were electric and the Breakers had no answers.

Still with just one loss to their name, the Warriors sit on top of the ladder.

The Youth League 2 women almost got back on the winners' list, but couldn't quite get the job done against Chelsea.

The Warriors' 31 turnovers proved particularly costly as the Gulls ran out 65-61 winners.

Once again, Alahna Arnason (13 points and 13 rebounds) was impressive, but it wasn't enough. Pakenham sits 10th with a 3-12 record.

Looking ahead to Round 15, a Division 2 men and women double-header tips off at Cardinia Life from 6pm on Saturday, while the Youth League 2 men head to Chelsea that night.

On Sunday, a Youth League 2 men and women double-header tips off from 12pm at Cardinia Life, while the Division 2 men take to the court in Belgrave against Sherbrooke.
