Ready for the future

By Annette Rome, Principal St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School There are many people that attempt to frame what it is that students in this century and beyond need to be able to think, say and do to function effectively and compassionately in a global world. All educators aim to prepare students (and adults) for a world where the only constant is change.

Many observers will claim that little has changed regarding formal education methodologies for over 200 years. We know this not to be the case. School structures and classrooms, curriculum, pedagogies and assessments have all changed considerably. So much so that I often hear parents comment “I wish I could have learned like that”.

One aspect that is unrecognisable to older generations is that of careers education. Young people today are encouraged to explore their passions, explore the world of work and seek

mentoring and other opportunities that permit the selection of a pathway after schooling that is likely to be satisfying and rewarding.

Their classroom is now the world.

Such an approach at St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School that complements the focus on STEM, entrepreneurship and innovation are the recent opportunities offered to the students to obtain a drone licence or a recreational pilot’s licence. Drones are used in a broad range of occupations including surveying, engineering, photography, film making and science research. Australia and globally we are facing shortages in pilots.

A partnership with Casey Technical School also facilitates access to state-of-the-art technology.

We believe these initiatives will assist the young people to know themselves better, know what they stand for, as well as giving them the transferable skills to embark on newly developed career opportunities.

The centre offers a Young Parents Education Program.

‘Smart’ school bags The days of students ‘forgetting’ their homework may soon be over as Deakin engineers develop a new generation of schoolbag that can complete its own morning check-list.

The smart schoolbag, designed by Deakin School of Engineering researchers, comes with built-in hardware and software that works to ensure it is packed correctly for each day’s timetable, including books, lunch and sports gear.

It also has the capability to send content alerts by smartphone to students, parents and even teachers.

The schoolbag can tell when items are not required and should be left home, ensuring the bag is no heavier than it needs to be.

Designed by Dr Hamid Abdi, and a team of Masters students, the smart school bag uses radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to detect items in the bag and the Internet of Things (IOT) technology to check its contents against the daily school plan.

“A mobile application developed in this project lets parents see the items in the bag and automatically checks them off against the timetable, identifying what is missing and notifies parents if anything else needs to be packed," Dr Abdi said.

“At the same time we wanted to minimise the weight of the bag. With a smart schoolbag, children won’t need to leave everything in their bag every day. The system helps them pack only what is needed that day and not worry about forgetting something the next day.”

Hallam Senior College students in a woodwork class.

Extensive study options Students give the smart school bags the thumbs up.

Dr Abdi and his team have designed a prototype smart schoolbag that includes the smart phone application and could retail for between $125 and $150.

“We are now at the demonstration stage and looking for commercial partners to take this project to the next level,” Dr Abdi said.

At Hallam Senior College staff aim to provide all students with the maximum opportunity for personal and academic growth in a supportive environment, one specially designed for students in their later years of secondary education.

Hallam Senior College offers an extensive range of study options in Year 10, VCE, VET and VCAL that enable teachers to personalise a student’s timetable through a focused program approach.

"Students are at the centre of our thinking, planning and actions. We aim to ensure that we provide positive learning experiences for every student in a young adult environment," said college principal David Caughey.

Mr Caughey said with highly experienced staff ensuring quality of delivery across all sub-

jects, students are treated as young adults with staff-student relationships based on mutual respect, cooperation and a focus on the common goal - learning. In a young adult learning environment students are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their learning.

"The relationships we forge with students and their families are critical elements of a student’s success at this important stage of their learning.

"Hallam Senior College values relationships built on respect and responsibility where the relationships between people, learning and the environment frame our actions."

Swim skills Australia is surrounded by open water, and being in and out of the water is a significant part of our lives.

It’s therefore important for both adults and children to learn skills to help them swim safer.

Paul Sadler Swimland offers classes from 4 months old all the way through to adults.

By 4 months of age, babies are able to regulate their body temperature for the duration of a 30-minute class. It’s a great time to start water familiarisation and a great opportunity for parents and carers to connect with their babies.

The long-term benefits to children who start swimming lessons young are huge.

A study conducted in 2012 by Griffith University - which surveyed almost 7000 parents with children under five - examined whether participation in early swimming lessons impacted subsequent milestones in child development.

The results showed a clear connection between children who participated in early swimming lessons with developing a range of physical skills and meeting a number of developmental milestones earlier than their peers.

Paul Sadler Swimland offers free swimming classes for four and five month old babies, so there’s never been a better time to start lessons.

When to stop lessons can be a confusing question for many parents and instructors often hear parents say ‘I’ll stop lessons when my child can swim’. This, however, is quite an ambiguous statement, which means different things for different people.

Studies show many parents overestimate their children’s swimming abilities and therefore exit lessons too soon. These parents find by the time their children finish primary

school, their swimming skills have declined.

Paul Sadler Swimland Swordy 1km swims are not only a great achievement, but also a great indicator that children are proficient swimmers. It’s a great goal to aim for before exiting lessons. Don’t underestimate the risk or overestimate swimming abilities - make 1km you and your children’s goal to help them be safer swimmers.

St Francis Xavier College provides a range of programs to support particular learning needs within the school.

The Hands on Learning Program, which is celebrating 10 years since its implementation, is practical and engaging, and is offered to students requiring a strong applied learning element in their educational program.

Principal Vincent Feeney said Hands on Learning was an innovative education program which caters to the different ways young people learn. The program runs at both the Berwick and Officer campuses, aimed at engaging students at school to help them discover their talents and experience success.

"This supportive program sees students grow in confidence and increase their sense of connection to school," Mr Feeney said.

"Hands on Learning fosters strong, long term relationships that assists students in developing the skills and abilities they need to succeed in work and life, like collaboration,

Students embrace nature Beaconsfield Primary School Council recently commissioned an outdoor classroom, built adjacent to the wetlands area, which has opened up a wonderful area for quiet curriculum pursuits in addition to protecting the steep embankment nearby.

Principal Gary Methvan said the wetlands area was a special part of growing up at Beaconsfield and offers a unique, unstructured play area for children. Set around a shallow pond, surrounded by native trees and shrubs, children experience an alternative to the manufactured playgrounds elsewhere on the site and develop an appreciation of the environment.

Mr Methvan said children spend their lunchtimes building cubbies, catching and releasing tadpoles, frogs and yabbies under the watchful eyes of the teacher on duty.

One of the favourite activities for younger children has been the establishment of ’shops’.

The children make fishing rods, face paints and pots out of the resources onsite and paint them with ochre also manufactured by other children in the wetlands. All goods can be purchased for just a few acorns - the principle currency of the wetlands.

“Free play in the wetlands encourages creativity, language, cognitive and physical skills that are important for healthy brain development,“ Mr Methvan explained.

“It also encourages healthy social interactions, negotiation skills and mindfulness. In an age where every moment of a child’s school day and leisure time is heavily scheduled by the adults in their lives, isn’t it great to have a space where kids can just be kids!“

The wetlands offer a unique learning experience at Beaconsfield Primary School.

Students roam free to explore the wetlands.

Confidence is building

By St Clare’s Principal, Helen Staindl Before your children even come to school, you, as parents, have taught them so much. They’ve learned to listen, to ask questions, to be filled with wonder, to say thank-you, to wash their hands, to pick up after themselves and to look out for each other.

Our job at St Clare’s is to continue these life lessons and nurture the holistic development of each child. For the St Clare’s family, numeracy and literacy skills are core elements

of education; but so is religious education - developing empathy, social justice and a strong moral compass.

We encourage active play and healthy bodies; understanding other cultures through learning languages; and the confidence that comes with developing creativity through the performing and visual arts.

At St Clare’s our aim is to have each child reach their potential; to be a well-rounded individual - within a supportive and caring learning environment.

Creativity is encouraged at St Clare's.

Numeracy and literacy are core elements of education at St Clare's.

The aim at St Clare's is to have each child reach their full potential.

FOCUS ON … TRAINING AND EDUCATION

Phone ban won’t work Ruby Eames spent a week at Star News Group on work experience. As a Year 10 student in a government high school, Ruby shares her thoughts on the State Government’s recently announced school phone ban.

My school already has rules in place which are almost the same as the phone ban across Victorian public schools to be enacted in 2020. I can say with absolute certainty that these rules will be ineffective in stopping students from using mobile phones on high school campuses.

Despite understanding why this new law has been introduced, and wholeheartedly agreeing with its introduction in primary schools, I believe that it will be unsuccessful in reducing distractions and disruptions in the classroom and in combating cyber bullying.

At my school mobile phones are not to be used by students from Year 7 to Year 10 on campus between the first bell and the last bell. They are supposed to be kept in lockers throughout the day, although it is somewhat of an open secret that practically every student keeps their device in their pocket instead.

I have been attending this school for almost four years and it’s almost shockingly easy to find a way around these rules.

At recess and lunchtime, the girls’ toilet blocks overflow with teenagers checking their social media accounts instead of actually going to the toilet. I can safely assume that the same is true for the boys’ toilets, although perhaps to a lesser extent. During classes, the days of conspicuously hiding a mobile phone beneath a desk are over. Instead, pupils hide their phones behind their school-required laptops and pretend to use the touchscreen function while texting their friends. In-between classes,

students will crowd around their classmates to hide them from passing teachers while they slip out their mobiles.

However, these students are not always using their phones for purposes irrelevant to their education. My school, along with many others in the state, uses a program called Compass which gives pupils access to timetables and alerts them to room changes or special activities replacing classes. In-between classes and at the end of recesses and lunchtimes, students often check their phones to see what classes they have next and if any changes have been made to their timetables. Yes students could check their timetables via their laptops, however it takes much longer to get them out, load the website and pack up than it does to simply use a phone app.

Hypothetically without mobile phones and subsequently no access to an updated timetable, both the number and frequency of students who are late to class could rise.

Nor will banning mobile phones rid classrooms of distractions. From my experience, laptops are the source of most distraction in the classroom, not mobile phones. While the school does have a system in place that blocks social media, online games and the like, any teenager with an in-depth knowledge of technology can easily bypass these systems and pass it on by word of mouth.

I admit that I am no stranger to procrastinating in class and most of my time spent distracting myself from schoolwork is on my laptop, not my phone. If the government wishes to improve concentration in class, it will have to ban all technology.

I also think that we should not forget that school students were still distracted in class and caused disruptions before the invention of phones or computers. I’ve found that in classes where we don’t use technology as much, the class is typically noisier and far more restless than usual. For example, in my math classes most work is done in our books and by hand.

We are constantly scolded by our teacher for being too loud, talking while she’s speaking and socialising instead of working. Several years ago, a particularly restless classmate of mine got so bored in a math class that he threw a chair across the room. Whether technology is permitted in the classroom or not, the distractions and disruptions will remain regardless.

Nor do I think this new law will reduce cyber bullying. It is important to remember that it is not phones who bully people, but that it is people who bully people. While it can be argued that mobile phones give bullies a platform to harass others, ultimately, banning mobile phones will not stop the bullying. The bullying will either continue during school hours face-to-face or after school over social media and direct messaging services.

Despite the good intent behind the mobile phone ban, the inevitable ineffectiveness it has already been shown to have in a high school environment proves that a different route needs to be taken in order to achieve the law’s goals.

Mayor Amanda Stapledon said she understood the public's "emotion" but after speaking with the applicants onsite and looking at the "plans very thoroughly," she said she could "not find any fault" with the application.

"In the first application they put in I had no hesitation in refusing but this one was very different," she said.

Cr Stapeldon said the applicants "went over and above" with their plans, adding the mosque would "blend in with the environment and with the community."

When asked why the public had been barred from entering the meeting she said "We thought it was all going to be fine but history tells us that it wasn't always the case."

"We were working with VicPol (Victoria Police) to make sure everyone was safe."

Neighbour Terry Ryan who who moved to the area 20 years ago for the rural landscape said he was disappointed with council's decision.

"They didn't answer questions that the community have asked over recent months," he said.

Cr Wayne Smith said the council report had "good grounds" of approving the proposed mosque.

"It doesn't look anything like a mosque.

You're going to be pretty hard pressed to see much of the building from the road anyway," he said.

After the plan was approved, protesters stormed out of the room next door. Valentina

A strong police and security guard contingent was present at Bunjil Place after rowdy antimosque protesters were locked out of a Casey council meeting on Tuesday 16 July.

About 70 angry protesters were kept out of a council chamber room where councillors approved plans for a mosque in Narre Warren North.

The mob was forced to view a live broadcast of the meeting on a big screen in a room next door where about 200 chairs had been set up.

The closed door meeting was described by some as "orchestrated" and "manipulative" with councillors not wanting to "hear our objections."

Only about 20 people were allowed to sit in the same room as councillors. One protester shouted "cowards" when he realised he could not enter.

According to a council document, 859 objections were received to the Saarban Islamic Trust's application for a proposed a mosque on Belgrave-Hallam Road in Narre Warren North.

It's proposed to provide 226 car spaces, and cater up to 372 patrons.

Four Oaks Ward Cr Rosalie Crestani put forward a completely opposite motion to what was originally recommended by council officers who advised councillors to go ahead with the mosque plan.

Cr Crestani said the proposal was inconsistent with the purpose of the Green Wedge A Zone, particularly the conservation and enhancement of the character of the semi-rural landscape.

The mosque's operational hours would result "in a detrimental impact on the amenity of the area," she explained.

One objector, she said, stated the proposed building would increase traffic, particularly near two primary schools, "potentially putting students at risk (and) will create more traffic and parking issues."

Cr Crestani added: "To approve this is to break promises of those policies that were in

Narre Warren SES crews responded to 39 call-outs after wild weather lashed Casey on Wednesday night, 10 July.

Rain and damaging winds brought down trees, damaged roofs, and Ballarto Road in Clyde was blocked for hours as wind gusts reached up to 80-90km/h in the region, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

Narre Warren SES spokesman Damian Burns said volunteers were kept active throughout the night and were still cleaning up next morning.

As soon as the storm front hit, two houses within 200 metres of each other were struck by lightning in Clyde North causing roof damage, Mr Burns said.

There were no reported injuries.

Senior Meteorologist Rod Dickson from the Bureau of Meteorology said the gale-force winds were due to a strong cold front with wind gusts around 90km/h to 100km/h.

The highest wind gust recorded was 124km/h at Mt Hotham.

Mr Dickson said rainfall totals were gener-

SES crews responded to a number of calls for help including leaking roofs and tree branches that had fallen onto a car.

"Any (roof) tile that got moved by the wind it certainly let the rain in," Mr Burns said.

At one stage the lightning was so severe all volunteers had to climb down from roofs to ensure their safety.

City of Casey also had to call a number of neighbouring SES units to help with the cleanup.

Lucky to escape the brunt of the wild weather was Cranbourne Royal Botanic Gardens who reported no significant damage, while Devon Meadows fire brigade did not receive any call-outs.

A 30-year-old man was arrested following the alleged theft of an excavator in Cranbourne West on Monday morning, 15 July.

Dandenong police were at an address on Western Port Highway when they observed a man allegedly driving a stolen excavator just after midday.

Police say officers attempted to intercept the man when he drove through a fence and into a nearby paddock.

Police then ran after the man who was arrested in the paddock on Storm Avenue in Lyndhurst a short time later.

The Skye man is currently in custody.

Man walks into hospital with gunshot wound Police are investigating after a man presented at a Berwick hospital with a gunshot wound to his foot on Wednesday night, 10 July.

"The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are still being determined with the victim not forthcoming with information to police," Victoria Police spokeswoman Melissa Seach said.

Was it important that businesses continue to connect?

The NWBG provides a fantastic opportunity for members to connect with each other in both a professional and social environment.

Business can be a lonely place regardless of your level of success; our group helps to connect people who may be going through similar challenges as each other.

I play trumpet and some of the most privileged moments in my life have been playing on ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day for the Berwick RSL when I was a teenager.

Which author would you like to drop in for a coffee and a chat?

Mike Gayle - I don't read many fiction books but Mike Gayle writes some great, easy to read books.

What is your favourite holiday spot in Australia?

Phillip Island - As the local say, 'Relax. You're on island time'. There is something about crossing that bridge!

What is one travel destination you have never been to that you would love to see?

I'd love to travel to Chicago and experience a Chicago Bulls basketball game.

At school I... ran a PC and Console Swap-meet for my Year 11 Communications Project. I undertook the project with one of my best friends and it quickly grew from a school project to an obsession. It was an amazing experience with stories about the event still being re-told nearly 25 years on!

I would be myself! Society is crying out for authentic leaders.

What is your favourite book and why?

The Sir Richard Branson autobiography 'Losing my Virginity'. We give a copy of this book to every new employee because the courage and inspiration shown by Sir Richard Branson time

Garbage in 1996 at Festival Hall. It was the first concert I ever attended and I've seen Garbage multiple times since.

THREE ‌ ways to go plastic free this July

1

Reusable coffee cups: Every year, 16 billion paper cups are used for coffee, leading to 6.5 million trees cut down, four billion gallons of water going to waste and enough energy to power 54,000 homes for a year.

Most cafes will accept reusable cups, and some even give you a discount if you bring your own cup. So buying a reusable coffee cup is a no-brainer.

2

Stainless steel straws: Eight million tons of plastic flow into the ocean every year, therefore more venues are using reusable stainless steel straws as an alternative. Stainless steel straws are easy to clean, portable and they look great. Just keep one in your bag when you go out and remember to say no to plastic straws at restaurants.

3

Reusable bags: The plastic bag ban has been all over the media lately, but for good reason. Plastic bags make up for a substantial amount of the world's waste and pollution and it traces back to having negative effects on our marine life. Next time you go shopping, remember to bring your own bag.

Fraudsters’ guilty pleas

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A South East panel-beater and three others have pleaded guilty over a “sophisticated” series of insurance claims for fabricated car crashes.

Dean Petric, 33, who owns White Eagles Pty Ltd, was charged with five frauds totalling more than $66,000 at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 9 July.

His co-accused were ex-partner Dominique Dall’Asen, 28, her mother Kim Rattle, 52, and Monawar Haidarie, 22.

The rorting was uncovered after Haidarie falsely reported to police that he was a victim of an aggravated car-jacking in Cranbourne North in July 2018.

In his initial police interview, Haidarie identified the ‘offenders’ as two Caucasian males.

Two months later, his story changed to two African offenders with a knife.

Police investigated Haidarie’s fraudulent insurance claim for $31,000 for the ‘stolen car’, made through Petric’s smash repair business.

The court was told there was a string of fraudulent claims in 2014-18 involving White Eagles, which trades as Melbourne Prestige Auto Repair Centre in Hampton Park and D & S Auto Body in Pakenham.

Petric liaised with the co-accused to submit the false claims through his business, according to a police summary submitted in court.

Dall’Asen, of Pakenham, was Petric’s expartner and worked in an insurer’s claims department.

According to police, she and Petric used their “industry knowledge” to submit claims with false quotes.

Dall’Asen and Petric were charged over two claims that defrauded Shannon’s (Suncorp) for $12,138 in 2015 and $17,358.91 in 2016.

In the first case, Dall’Asen reported she’d crashed Petric’s Triton into a concrete pole at Fountain Gate shopping centre.

In the second, she claimed she struck a kangaroo in Petric’s Triton in Dubbo NSW. Petric was also charged with three failed

claims totalling more than $37,000.

His lawyer told the court that Petric wasn’t motivated by enrichment, but was a “people pleaser”.

Since the charges, Petric and his business suffered a loss of integrity and reputation.

White Eagles, which had made profits of up to $700,000, was now in the red.

Dall’Asen was “too accommodating” and didn’t think enough of the consequences, her defence lawyer told the court.

“As for direct financial benefit, she got nothing out of it.”

Magistrate Tara Hartnett said there was a “degree of organisation” in the plot, with Dall’Asen making multiple follow-up calls to the insurers.

“It was not an isolated dishonesty-type matter where there’s been a spontaneous action.”

She noted Dall’Asen’s lack of prior history, nor drug or alcohol issues and her circumstances as a single mother.

Dall’Asen’s mother Rattle made a false $11,000 insurance claim that her Hilux was hit from behind in Narre Warren in 2017. She reported that Dall’Asen was driving the vehicle.

Ms Hartnett handed down 12-month community correction orders with conviction to Petric (with 170 hours unpaid work), Dall’Asen (120 hours) and Haidarie (150 hours).

They would have faced jail terms had they had relevant prior offending, she noted.

Petric, Dall’Asen and Haidarie were ordered to pay back the defrauded amounts.

Rattle, a registered nurse who runs a Noble Park aged care home, was spared conviction.

She was placed on a 12-month CCO with 70 hours unpaid work.

Milk shopper lands in jail

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A serial shoplifter has been arrested and locked up, ironically after buying milk from a Berwick supermarket. The man’s shopping trip on 2 July had inadvertently breached his bail conditions, which banned him from going to the store.

He was identified by supermarket staff and arrested by police in the car park, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard later that day.

His lawyer told the court that the man thought his bail restrictions were finished after being sentenced for similar charges in June.

Unbeknownst to him, there was an outlying shoplifting offence for stealing two electric toothbrushes from the same supermarket in April.

It was not yet dealt with by the court, so he was still subject to bail conditions, the lawyer said.

“He’s gone to Coles this morning and bought two litres of milk and ended up here (in court).

“On the occasion he actually bought something, he’s in custody.”

Magistrate Julie O’Donnell commented on the “irony”.

She said the man’s June sentence of three days’ custody would not have altered with the additional toothbrush-theft charges.

The man was released on a good-behaviour bond, undertaking not to commit further shop theft.

Driver evades police Police are hoping to find the driver of a car who sped off after failing to pull over for police in Lyndhurst last month.

Chelsea police attempted to intercept a white VW Golf GTI hatch, registration ZLB 923 on Thompsons Road about 2.15pm on Tuesday 25 June.

The driver failed to pull over and sped off at a high rate of speed and was seen driving erratically through traffic.

Investigators have released images of the vehicle in the hope someone knows of its current whereabouts.

Police are keen to speak to any witnesses or anyone that may have dash-cam footage and was in the area at the time.

Anyone with information is urged to conberwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

Police are have released images of the vehicle in the hope someone knows of its current whereabouts. tact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential on-line report at www.crimestoppers.com.au

Anxious about visiting the dentist?

Relax...

Health care for the elderly is becoming a major issue when they retire. Most retirees when they go on the pension remove their health cover due to costs and go onto the public system.

Why then as children of our pensioner parents can we not have them as our dependents on our health cover?

We may pay a few dollars more, but the benefits are twofold.

Our parents go into a private hospital with no waiting list, and the public list will decrease dramatically.

The health funds can cover the hospital stay and the surgeon's costs, but the Federal Government can still pay for hip, knee replacements and cardiac care and I believe it will reduce their Federal budget into health care as a joint venture.

Mayor steps up for adults with disabilities

To the Narre Warren - Cranbourne road as you're trying to exit the estate. How hard is it to keep a clear space for cars entering and exiting the estate.

We all have a bucket list, and for City of Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon there is one thing in particular that she wants to tick off: providing homes for adults with disabilities.

"To raise funds for adults with a disability who are in the care of their ageing parents or who might be living in motel rooms is the one thing I'd like to tick off my bucket list," she says.

During September Cr Stapledon will be taking steps towards realising that goal with the Mayor's Walk for Disability.

From Saturday 14 September to Saturday 21

September, she will step out to walk 10 kilometres per day, visiting schools, churches, community centres, sporting facilities and parks across the City of Casey along the way and raising funds for the Wolfdene Foundation.

The Wolfdene Foundation builds houses for adults with a disability who are in the care of their ageing parents. The Foundation has a unique partnership with Blairlogie, an organisation that provides holistic support and services to people with a disability.

It's a cause that is close to the mayor's heart.

"It's important to me because I have a son with a disability; I've actually come to understand how other people struggle - carers and

people with disabilities," she says.

"Every child, whether they have a disability or not, should have a rite of passage to leave home and live their best life, and what's important to me is to make sure they get that and their carers at the other end have some comfort knowing that when they're no longer there, their child has a home to call their own and one that they're happy in."

As well as raising funds, Cr Stapledon will use her walk to raise awareness of the issues faced by carers and people with disabilities in Casey. To donate or to find out how to walk with the mayor, go to casey.vic.gov.au/mayorswalk-disability. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

Wild and windy weekend

By Brendan Rees Heavy downpours damaged roofs and brought down trees last weekend (13-14 July), with 19 calls for help made to Narre Warren State Emergency Service.

Narre Warren SES spokesman Damian Burns said they responded to damaged roofs, fallen trees, and local flooding.

SES crews also sandbagged a backyard in Clyde about 2.50pm on 13 Saturday where the "ground was absolutely saturated with water."

Water began entering the home, Mr Burns said, but the damage was not known. He added "even 10mm of rain can cause a residential flood."

Other call-outs included a collapsed ceiling of a garage in Hallam, and a tree that had fallen onto Endeavour Drive, Cranbourne, which blocked part of the road.

Damaging winds, averaging up to 70km/h with peak gusts up 125km/h lashed the state, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Chris Arvier said.

A severe weather warning for strong winds was also issued.

"We had pretty windy conditions across the weekend," Mr Arvier said.

"There was a cold front that was impacting the state.

"Cumulatively we saw about 50mm of rainfall over five days so that's quite a reasonable amount," he said.

SES crews were also called to help police with lighting after a man was allegedly "trampled on" by a horse that was spooked by the weather about 5am on Friday 12 June at a property on Cranbourne-Frankston Road, Cranbourne. The man sustained upper body injuries.

Local doctor lends a healthy hand with words of wisdom

By Romy Stephens Berwick doctor Roger Smith has spent over 30 years educating the public about health. But the challenges of solving peoples problems year after year has sparked the local doctor to do something different. He decided to help more people, by penning a simple book on health, and offering it free to the public.

The book, Take a Simple Drive to a Healthier Life, explores health issues and offers simple information for the average person who is looking to improve their long-term health.

"Being a GP you spend a lot of time educat-

ing patients about their health," Dr Smith said.

"With health, part of it is a lot of luck involved, but you can make your own luck.

"I think everyone deep down knows what they have to do, but the problem is life gets busy. You have all the best intentions of eating healthy and going to the gym, but after a few months it's all gone by the wayside.

"The whole idea of the book is to remind people of what you can do, but it's got to be a long-term approach."

Dr Smith, who lives in Berwick, has worked in general practice in Cranbourne since 1989 and is now a partner at the Casey Medical Clinic.

His decision to use a car analogy throughout the book was to compare how so many people care for their car, or other luxury items, over their body.

"The book starts off with a story about a patient. It was all about how the patient was more worried about his car then he was about his own health."

"People will get their car serviced every six to 12 months but they tend not to worry about themselves until things go wrong.

"You only get one body, you can always replace a car."

With National Diabetes Week being held

across Australia this week, Dr Smith said it is a great opportunity for diabetics to understand that following tips in his book can help them.

"People often think diabetics need to have a special diet, but basically they need to do what everyone else needs to do.

"People often think it won't happen to me, but diabetes is such a common problem. Half the people that have it don't know they have it."

The ebook is free via the apple books app or can be downloaded at thesimpledoctor.info.

Train delays ‘snowball’

By Brendan Rees Just over one service, on average, was abruptly cancelled on Cranbourne train line every day in June.

New figures, released by Public Transport Victoria on Thursday, revealed 84 per cent of trains were delivered on time for June while the amount of trains delivered dropped marginally from 98.3 to 98.2 per cent.

Forty-two trains (1.2 per cent) were cancelled compared with 35 in May. This is in stark contrast to last June which recorded an overall punctuality rate of 91.3 per cent.

In the past six months, 54 trains, on aver-

age, were cancelled each month.

Public Transport Users Association spokesman Daniel Bowen a duplication of the track was needed.

"This growing area needs more frequent trains, and better punctuality and reliability," he said.

"Single track is a relic of the past, causing delays to quickly snowball, and often forcing Metro to terminate outbound trains early at Dandenong."

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said council understood delays on the Cranbourne railway line was causing "hardship" to commuters and a duplication of the line

was "a matter of urgency."

"The State Government has committed to $750 million to duplicate the rail line from Dandenong to Cranbourne, and $7 million to complete planning for the rail extension to Clyde," she said.

"Detailed planning and procurement of the duplication project will start this year, with construction to start in 2021 and finish by 2023.

Cr Stapledon added: "This does not include the extension, as the delivery and timing of the extension will be subject to the completion of planning."

"The good, reliable public transport and the extension of the Cranbourne Rail line is a ma-

jor transport priority for the City of Casey, and we will continue to advocate for this."

A Metro spokesman said: "We are running more services on the Cranbourne line than ever before to get passengers where they need to go."

"We understand how frustrating disruptions can be - that's why our priority is minimising delays to passengers, and deploying replacement buses as needed to keep people moving," he said.

"Signalling and upgrade works as part of the Metro Tunnel will result in more reliable journeys on the Cranbourne line and pave the way for turn up and go services."

Glittering night of nights for Chisholm students

Accused car thief held on remand

Bliss, Jacques and Heili prepare for the biggest online spelling competition. 195654 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

A buzz about spelling bees Berwick Primary School is joining thousands of schools around Australia to compete in a fun, free online spelling competition.

Created by LiteracyPlanet, an award-winning online English literacy education program, the Word Mania challenges students to build as many words as they can in three minutes, from 15 randomly generated letter tiles.

Last year Berwick Primary School came in first place for Year 6, and they're set to defend

their title against some of the best spellers in the country.

Students have until 9 August to sharpen their skills as part of the practice round, before the official Competition Rounds from 12-23 August.

The top-performing schools will face off in the final round for the glory of being crowned Word Mania champions and a share in $350,000 in prizes.

A man accused of stealing jewellery, tools, cars, motorcycles as well as even toys and console games from a children's bedroom has been refused bail.

The 25-year-old man, facing 29 charges, contested the strength of the prosecution case against him during the hearing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 16 July.

His alleged stealing spree included nearly $12,000 of goods from a Cranbourne jeweller as well as three cars and three motorbikes valued at more than $100,000 in total.

According to police, his offending was fuelled by a daily ice habit.

He had been no longer living with his parents, was unemployed and offending while out on bail, a police informant told the court.

In arguing for bail, his defence lawyer said that CCTV stills provided by police didn't conclusively identify the accused.

The lawyer also pitched the man's "relatively young" age, willingness to go to drug rehab, possible employment as well as mental health issues that made custody difficult for him.

The man, in the company of family, surrendered himself to police when he was aware that they were searching for him, the lawyer said.

The man's grandfather offered to house the man during bail. He told the court he was willing to report the accused to police if he breached bail conditions.

He withdrew his original offer of a surety.

Detective Senior Constable Kimberlee Davidge, of Casey CIU, told the court that she identified the man wearing a specific jumper and shoes on two clear occasions on CCTV footage during offending at a 7-11 store.

The same apparel could be identified as being worn by an offender on footage of other thefts, she told the court.

Magistrate Ian McGrane said the man failed to show compelling reasons for his release on bail, particularly without the offer of a surety.

The man had been allegedly identified by witnesses at the Cranbourne jewellers, by his clothing as well as by a fingerprint on a vehicle number plate stolen from a Cranbourne West factory, Mr McGrane said.

"In my opinion (the prosecution evidence) is a relatively strong case against the accused man."

Mr McGrane added that the man was an unacceptable risk of reoffending.

The man was remanded for a mention hearing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 2 August.

$250,000 crime spree

By Brendan Rees An ice-addicted South-East tradie who broke into a number of homes, stealing a car, electronics, jewellery, and other items totalling about $250,000 has been jailed.

Dejan Culibrk of Cranbourne North pleaded guilty in the Victorian County Court sitting in Melbourne on 12 July to 24 charges including burglary, theft, obtaining property by deception, and possessing a drug of dependence.

The 33-year-old carpenter’s crime spree began in July, 2017 when broke into a home in Cranbourne West where he had been employed by the owner to carry out roof repairs, Judge Richard Smith said.

There he stole various electronic items and jewellery worth about $15,000 as well as a credit card which was used to purchase goods

on 24 occasions.

On 29 October, 2017 he gained entry into a residential property in Dandenong South, stealing power tools, computers, an iPhone and other items worth about $14,400 - three days after failing to attend court on bail.

In another break-in at a construction site in Clyde North between the 29th and 30th of November, he stole television sets, a computer, an iPad, a telephone, and other items worth about $7,245, Judge Smith said.

On 8 December police arrested Culibrk who was in possession of anabolic steroids and oxycodone.

Less than a week later Culibrk filled up his car with fuel at a BP service station in Cranbourne and drove off without paying.

Within the same month, Culibrk ransacked

a residential property in Lyndhurst with a cooffender, stealing items totalling about $28,000 as well as a Toyota Camry, Judge Smith said Police arrested Culibrk and his brother on 2 January, 2018 after they forced entry into a Braeside business, stealing safety gear items, cash, and assorted keys.

The court heard Culibrk was in possession of the keys to the stolen Camry, a hunting knife, and three Stanley knives.

Police executed warrants at two residential properties in Hampton Park and Cranbourne North, seizing a number of stolen goods.

In sentencing, Judge Smith told Culibrk these two houses were the subject of forfeiture orders and “may have to be sold in the near future,” with his family facing the possibility of having to “move from them.”

Born in Yugoslavia, Culibrk migrated to Australia aged six with his family, the court was told.

He worked with his father in the construction industry but a failed attempt to start his own business led him to gambling and using ice daily as well as methamphetamines.

The court heard Culibrk’s defence argued his thefts had “elements of hoarding behaviour.”

“I think it’s highly likely that your burglaries (and) thefts were conducted with financial gain in mind,” Judge Smith said.

“You appear to be the instigator of such offending conduct - a beneficiary of the goods stolen by you.”

Culibrk was sentenced to up to five years’ jail, with a non-parole period of three years.

Cross-country custom cruise a dream come true

Mr Vannutini and his father, has picked up a swag of awards over its nearly 13 years on the road, and the 35-year-old driver is the youngest ever recipient of Top National Car at the ASRF Street Rod Nationals, an accolade he won at the age of just 23.

He will be joined on the cruise by several other enthusiasts from Australia, and will be met on the other side of the Pacific by Ameri-

cans keen to get involved too.

He said “the Yanks are hanging” to see the famed coupe - but perhaps not as much as Mr Vannutini himself, who waved goodbye to the vehicle when it was shipped over to America in April for the trip.

“Having no control over your pride and joy for the last 11 weeks has been difficult. There

Dean Vannutini built his prize-winning 1934 Ford Coupe by hand in a backyard shed.

12422508-DJ29-19

It’s a bucket list roadtrip of epic proportions.

Later this month, Berwick Springs resident Dean Vannutini will cross the United States in his beloved hand-built 1934 Ford Coupe hot rod as part of The Hustle.

Mr Vannutini designed The Hustle himself as a way to fulfil his dream of driving his own car through hot rod centres in the States.

He and his car will make a journey of more than 3000 miles, hitting major rod shops and events.

While it has taken years of dreaming, months of planning and several logistical nightmares with customs to get the cruise organised, Mr Vannutini said the timing was perfect given the number of hot rod milestone events taking place in the States this year.

They will attend the biggest hot rod event in the USA, the four-day NSRA 50th Street Rod Nationals and from there drive through seven states to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah - a highlight he is particularly looking forward to.

“That’s the sacred salt where people from all over the world make the annual pilgrimage to break land speed records. I have been before, but to drive my Australian-built car on the sacred salt is something else,” Mr Vannutini said.

From there, the trip will continue through to Las Vegas, Los Angeles and through Southern California, stopping at custom shops, cruise nights, cruise mornings, collections and museums along the way, finishing in San Francisco where Mr Vannutini will also attend the San Francisco Goodguys West Coast Nationals.

“I have always said that I will take my car one day and do a tour. People thought it was just a dream and the reality of doing such a feat is virtually unheard of. Not many have ever done it and the guys that have are usually in retirement status and trying to complete a bucket list,” Mr Vannutini said.

While still young, he has made a name for himself in the hot rod and custom culture; his 1934 Ford Coupe, built in a backyard shed by

Doveton mosque approval

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A proposed mosque in industrial Doveton has been given the green light for the second time

by City of Casey.

The Afghan Islamic Centre and Omar Farooq Mosque's re-application at 25-31 Green Street was approved at a council meeting on 16 July, after the original permit lapsed in 2018.

Cr Wayne Smith said that the mosque was in an appropriate site and "met all of the requirements".

The sequel attracted significantly less objections than the original controversial permit

in 2014, Cr Smith told the meeting.

The council received three objections - two from neighbours in the industrial estate. There were no objections from nearby residents.

Cr Smith said that none of the residents that objected in 2014 had even contacted him this time round.

"Whether or not they thought there was no point (in objecting), who knows?"

In its second version, a larger mosque with a larger 216-space onsite car park was proposed on a larger site of four lots.

The 2200-square-metre building will stand

10 metres tall with 14-metre-high minaret towers.

It will attract up to 300 for Friday prayers, about 250 for condolence services on weekends, up to 400 during the month of Ramadan and 600 for two Eid prayers a year.

On most days, it will be visited by up to 100.

The mosque had outgrown its current hall at Photinia Street, with a capacity for up to 160 visitors.

It will utilise extra adjoining land at Green Street, sold by one of the mosque's main original opponents Catch The Fire Ministries -

which had been set to build a church next door.

Cr Rosalie Crestani, who opposed the original and latest proposals, said she remained "very much concerned".

She noted the addition of a morgue "just a very small stone's throw" from adjoining resident's back fenceline.

Its heavily-attended Friday prayer service would lead to industrial neighbours being "locked down from conducting their business", she said.

"I think this would be a poor development for the area."

Locals join national call for refugee help

By Danielle Kutchel Local refugee activists will join with others from around Australia on Saturday July 20 to rally for an end to inhumane treatment of refugees held offshore. Saturday will mark the beginning of the 7th year of detention for the refugees.

Activists from Casey/Cardinia for Refugees have held a weekly Thursday morning vigil for over a year on the Berwick High Street in an effort to draw motorists’ attention to the cause.

A member of the group said that recently a refugee who had fled from Iran stopped to thank them, describing how grateful he was to now have the opportunity to house his family, and start a business to provide for them and contribute to the community. According to the group, this aligns with what refugees from Manus tell them. They said another recently messaged: “This past six years of offshore detention, we could have spent serving the community, living productive lives.“ Anne Jones, a member of Casey/Cardinia for Refugees, said refugee groups across Australia work tirelessly raising awareness about

the mental and physical suffering of those who have sought asylum, the death of 12 people in detention and what the group describes as the “appalling“ waste of Australia financial resources.

“Imagine if all this effort had been spent on compassionately assisting refugees to recover from their ordeal, find accommodation, integrate into communities and secure employment. Imagine if their human rights had been addressed in this way,” she said.

Rallies will be held around Australia on Saturday July 20, demanding an end to detention under the government policy of indefinite mandatory detention for those who have sought asylum by boat since 2013. The Melbourne rally begins at 2.00pm at the State Library and will include guest speakers.

After three premierships in four years, Berwick are enjoying their most successful era.

Berwick’s belter Berwick's intensity from the opening bounce until the final siren simply can't be matched.

Their premiership victory against Narre Warren on Saturday - giving the club back-toback flags for just the second time in club history - was intense, finals footy laced with the right amount of class.

After a third premiership in four years, the word 'dynasty' is deservingly being bandied around, and for good reason.

The club has a stranglehold over the southeast region - they're relentless, driven by success and are always chasing their next challenge. It's the cornerstone of all successful sporting clubs.

While the weather may have been arctic in their 51-point win over Narre Warren, the Wickers put in a magical performance befitting of a champion team in the midst of a golden era.

From the superstar Travis Tuck, who came to the club with a high expectation that has

now culminated with a best on ground medal in a grand final, to their champion skipper Madi Andrews, dynamic forward Harry Money, gun midfielder Bryce Rutherford and reliable defenders Jo West and Michael Riseley, the Wickers possess remarkable star power.

"We pride ourselves on our relentless approach," Berwick coach Stewart Kemperman said in the aftermath of another premiership win.

And as for Kemperman, he couldn't have a dreamt of a start to his senior coaching career

Formula for wrongdoing

By Cam Lucadou-Wells At least three shoplifters have gone on a brazen rampage, stealing thousands of dollars of baby formula from supermarkets in the South East, a court has heard.

Kiara Alexander-McNeil, 19, pleaded guilty to 19 cases of theft in which more than $9000 of baby formula and other shopping items were stolen in May, June and July.

They hit Coles, IGA and Woolworths supermarkets in Chadstone, Waverley Gardens, Patterson Lakes, Clayton, Pinewood, Mt Eliza, Mentone, Clarinda, Surrey Hills, Dandenong, Cranbourne and Cranbourne East.

Each heist typically netted several hundred dollars of goods, loaded from the in-store shelves into a grocery trolley or in several shopping bags.

On one occasion, the thieves took a trolleyload worth $850, Dandenong Magistrates' Court heard on 16 July.

They looted some supermarkets multiple times, sometimes twice on the same day, the court was told.

Defence lawyer Lachlan Hocking said Alexander-McNeil took responsibility for taking part in the thefts but couldn't remember specific times and dates.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen replied: "I presume that's because of 19 charges."

In recent years, there has been high demand for baby formula, prompting two-tin purchase limits at Coles and Woolworths.

The limit aimed to reduce the mass-buying of the $30-plus products, which were being on-sold to China.

During the thefts, Alexander-McNeil - who had no prior convictions - had been arrested three times.

The first time on 7 May she was released on bail. She had been promised $50 from her associates for taking part in the $782 heist at Chadstone, she told police at the time.

On 1 July, she was arrested a short time after selling 16 stolen baby formula tins for $120 cash to a Springvale business. The tins would normally retail for $482.

She was released again on bail and after four further thefts, was arrested for a third time with two co-accused in a car in Mayfield Park.

According to police, she was trying support a $200-a-day habit of smoking fentanyl patches.

Alexander-McNeil had gone into a "downward spiral" due to her co-accused 23-year-old boyfriend, Mr Hocking told the court.

The offending started after she lost her cafe job, moved out of the family home and shared a room in Endeavour Hills with the boyfriend.

Magistrate Vandersteen said he hoped police had been able to disrupt the "organised and voluminous" offending and its avenues for on-selling.

"The offending here is overwhelming.

You're way out of your depth.

"The whole focus has to be on helping you, but you have to help yourself as well."

Alexander-McNeil was remanded for sentencing on 17 July, pending a Youth Justice assessment.

Symbolic plaque unveiled

By Brendan Rees Casey's South Sudanese community has expressed their "overwhelming sense of joy" after a plaque recognising the South Sudanese-Australian Academic Society (SSAS) was unveiled in Cranbourne East.

Andrew Gai, president and co-founder of SSAS described the unveiling of the plaque on the Wall of Global Friendships as a "historic occasion".

The wall, which is located at the Balla Balla Community Centre, now has 23 community plaques following the addition of three more at the celebration on Saturday 29 June.

Formed in November 2014, the SSAS aims to unite and support South Sudanese-Australian graduates and students to reach their full potential in their career and education endeavours.

Mr Gai said the ceremony recognised Casey's cultural diversity and providing the South Sudanese community with a "symbolic sense of belonging to the City of Casey and Australia."

"Some of the South Sudanese community members were present at the ceremony while

many others watched on Facebook across Australia and even in South Sudan," he said.

"An overwhelming sense of joy of feeling at home was felt by the community."

Speaking at the event, which also celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Wall of Global Friendships, an honoured Mr Gai said the plaque would serve as a reminder for the South Sudanese Australian children in particular, of their heritage.

"The questions of belonging and where one comes from are ongoing challenging questions but we can make it easier for the next generation to find answers to those questions," he said.

"I believe that the Wall of Global Friendships is the right place to trigger meaningful conversation about how and where many of us came from before making Australia our home.

"On behalf of my community, I thank the City of Casey for its cohesive approach to embracing cultural diversity, which is very much reflected in this Wall of Global Friendships," Mr Gai said.

The Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, and the Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre each had a plaque also added.

Making a splash for MS Seven steadfast teams have raised more than $11,000 during a 24-hour multiple-sclerosis 'mega swim' at Casey RACE in Cranbourne East on July 13-14.

Up to 90 swimmers swam well-over 467 kilometres, which is the equivalent of swimming from Cranbourne to Melbourne and back about nine times.

Now in its eighth year at Casey, the MS 24 Hour Mega Swim was started by Australian Paralympian, Carol Cooke, who lives with MS and had a vision of bringing people together to raise funds for multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis is the most common neurological disease in young adults and diagnosis typically occurs between 30 years of age, although onset of symptoms may be earlier.

Billie Hansen, of Berwick, and a team-member of Kings of the Pool, was the highest individual fundraiser at the event, impressively raising

$1,134.70. The 13-year-old also swam for an incredible 11-hours.

"I wanted to help people living with MS. It was great to know that I could raise $1,100," he said.

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon was blown away by the turnout at the event.

"I think that this event really is a testament to the people who live here. We have a great community here at Casey and more broadly around the region. These people have been swimming for 24-hours which is a phenomenal effort," she said.

The event was made possible with the support of the City of Casey, Casey RACE Recreation and Aquatic Centre, Kiwanis International, Physioworks Health Group, Funky Trunks and Funkita and to APEX 40 who helped raise $800 at the barbeque outside Casey RACE.

More than $11,000 has been raised at Casey RACE for people living with multiple sclerosis. 195697

Bottle-o’s crime movie

By Brendan Rees A man has collected a $50 voucher after a bottle shop in Cranbourne started a social media competition to help solve a liquor theft.

It comes after three males with a thirst for spirits allegedly stole about $500 worth at Kelly's Hotel drive-through bottle shop in Cranbourne on Wednesday afternoon, 3 July.

In a bizarre offer, the hotel created a competition on its Facebook page for anyone able to provide information about the theft on High Street.

"Competition time! Information on three males (plus one) and a car rego QNL456 required to assist us with a robbery," the post says.

The page also contains a snappily edited

video of CCTV footage which captured the incident about 4pm.

According to a staff member, who did not want to be named, one of males placed two ten-packs of Double Jack cans on counter.

The male then allegedly asked the staff member for a 24-pack of Jack Daniel's cans which they brought back and placed on the counter.

The male allegedly carried all three packs of bourbon and left the store without paying, the staff member said.

Another two men allegedly raided a fridge taking between them four ten-packs of Wild Turkey without paying.

The hotel said security gave chase to the culprits in which some of the spirits were dropped by the males.

A male allegedly walked out of the Kelly's Hotel drive through bottle-o with three cases of spirits.

However, the males allegedly jumped into a waiting car nearby - with registration QNL456.

No staff members were harmed and Cran-

bourne Police are investigating.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

MODERN, ENERGY EFFICIENT LIVING AVIVA Communities Officer is a community created especially for people aged over 55.

“When we started designing this community we threw away convention and started from scratch” said Managing Director of Aviva Communities Todd Strathdee.

“We didn’t want to follow traditional approaches where the old cottage or villa was the dominant housing form. We are thrilled with the end result which has seen the creation of modern energy efficient homes and an outstanding contemporary clubhouse that is more reflective of a younger spirited retiree.

“For years the focus has been on downsizing where people move from the old oversized family home into smaller more manageable dwellings. That’s not how we see it. At Aviva Communities Officer we believe the relocation process

is more about right-sizing life where people simply want smarter, intelligently designed homes that suit a new life-stage and the activities that accompany it.“ Central to the success of the community are the masterplanned architect designed homes that are unrivalled in the over 55 landscape in Melbourne.

Each home comprises a modern facade that blends organically with the neighbouring homes to maximise privacy and create eye-catching streetscapes.

Every home is also oriented to take advantage of a northern living aspect.

Not only does this reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling, but it provides homeowners with the most direct sunlight during the day, especially in winter when the sun is at its lowest.

“All homes achieve a minimum 6-star energy rating created not only from the

orientation of the home, but the insulation of the home’s walls, floor and roof spaces”.

Inside the home there is a sense of spaciousness created by 2.7m ceilings, integrated storage solutions and strategic window placement.

Improving the design outcomes of the community is the use of planting and fencing solutions to separate dwellings and create privacy in the home’s living areas and outdoor zones. No expansive tracts of confining metal fencing are used in the community.

Inside the homes are a range of inclusions such as stone benchtops, stainless steel kitchen appliances, engineered timber floors, tiles and carpets, ducted heating and cooling, window furnishings and all the extras that make moving in simple.

All homes in the community are within

walking distance of the expansive Gum Scrub Creek Nature Reserve and The Lodge, a private clubhouse for Aviva Officer homeowners.

Homes at Aviva Communities have also been created with a focus on value for money. If you take advantage of prerelease purchase benefits homes start at $379,000 for a 2-bedroom 14.9 square home going to $475,000 for a 3-bedroom 18.5 square home.

People who register their interest in the project automatically qualify for pre-release purchase benefits which see a range of discounts from $10,000 to $24,000 applicable to the home range.

Aviva Communities Officer is under construction now. To register your interest, arrange an appointment and to take advantage of pre-release purchase benefits call 1800 961 585 or register on www.avivacommunities.com.au ●

The new display village conveniently provides buyers with a one-stop shop, showcasing modern, sophisticated homes

by Melbourne’s biggest and best builders, including Metricon, Carlisle Homes, Beachwood Homes and Porter Davis.

The grand opening also gives buyers an exclusive opportunity to purchase within Kaduna Park’s new stage release. The Harvest Release, Kaduna Park’s seventh stage release, overlooks Gum Scrub Creek and beyond to a beautiful rural aspect.

Located just moments from the estate’s 1-hectare park, this release is set to be a favourite amongst families and is perfectly timed for buyers looking to select their dream home and land to match.

Face painting, jam donuts, a coffee van, a barbecue and special guests Marshall and Chase from Nickelodeon’s PAW Patrol will be at 2 Mortlake Drive, Officer South, from 11am - 2pm to welcome buyers and their families to the new display village and Kaduna Park.

Parklea Sales and Marketing Manager Jarod Mills said Parklea was thrilled to see the new display village opening.

at Kaduna Park, and our new display village will help buyers find the perfect design for their dream home.

“The grand opening will be a great day for the whole family to get a sense of the modern designs available and of their new neighbourhood, including the new stage release.

“We look forward to welcoming future residents to the Kaduna Park community, and can’t wait for our buyers to see the display village and the Harvest Release.”

Don’t ignore the signs of dry eyes fer from inflammatory ocular conditions such as blepharitis, which exacerbate the disease.

“The unstable tear layer in Dry Eye Disease is mainly caused by a dysfunction of the Meibomian Glands in the eyelids, which produce the oily layer on the top of the tears. The cornea, the clear ‘window’ at the front of the eye, becomes exposed and triggers a cycle of inflammation,“ Mr West said.

“Whilst some of the symptoms can be controlled with the use of artificial tears, antiinflammatory and antibiotic eyedrops, warm compresses and the like, we are now using a technique called IPL (intense pulsed light) to provide longer-lasting relief.

“You may be aware of this same treatment

for rosacea and facial rejuvenation.“ Mr West said that as the name suggests, bursts of intense light are applied to the eyelid area - usually four sessions, a fortnight apart.

“It is not painful and, in most cases, the patient is able to reduce their reliance on eyedrops and other treatments - sometimes doing without any at all.“ David, Carolyn, Fady and Rebecca offer IPL treatment at their Cranbourne practice and welcome the opportunity to talk to patients about it.

Winter can be a difficult time for patients experiencing asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or any conditions that effect your breathing.

Colds, flu and infections can often make these conditions worse, so spirometry is a useful tool to monitor how well your lungs are working. Luckily, Doveton Medical Centre has nurses trained in spirometry as well as health assessments and care plans.

Chronic disease management and preventative care is an important focus at the practice. Doveton Medical Centre's nurses are currently encouraging patients aged 45-49yrs, over 75 years, and people with a disability or refugee status to make an appointment for a health check. It is a valuable resource in preventative care, especially for people with a family history of risk factors, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

Optometrist David West of Eyecare Plus Cranbourne says there are many factors that cause the symptoms of Dry Eye Disease including age, sex, race, pollution, systemic health (in particular, autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis), a previous history of cataract or refractive surgery, air conditioning and central heating and the demands of a modern lifestyle, particularly computer screens and smart phones.

Winter skin care vital Let’s face it, most people tend to forget sun safety during the winter months. The sun doesn’t come out for as long, nor does it feel as hot. We tend to rug up more and possibly don’t spend so much time outdoors. But even during the winter months, the sun can cause irreversible skin damage from its harmful UV rays, even through the clouds.

According to the specialists at Sun Patrol Cancer Centre, two in three Australians are diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. Do you want to be one of these statistics?

Everyone knows that there is a high chance of getting sunburnt in summer, but did you know that you can also get sunburnt and develop skin cancer in winter?

Harmful UV rays are present all year round.

So, if you go outside at any time of year, your

uncovered skin is exposed to this damaging radiation. Specialists say the more times you get sunburnt, the higher your risk of skin cancer.

Remembering to wear sun protection all year round helps lower your chances of developing this disease.

Winter is also a great time to get your skin checked. With no tan hiding your moles, freckles and spots, doctors can more clearly identify any abnormalities. And there are usually shorter waiting times with less people thinking about getting checked. Skin checks are quick and easy, and they might just save your life.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your skin checked today!

Holistic treatment for chronic pain Chronic pain affects one in five Australians and can often be debilitating, preventing people from living their lives comfortably and for some even making it impossible to engage in an active lifestyle or even find suitable employment.

Surprisingly, while it’s possible to manage and reduce chronic pain in around 70-80 per cent of chronic pain sufferers, only 10 per cent of sufferers seek proper treatment for their condition.

Unlike many other conditions that are easily treated by a single health professional, the treatment of chronic pain requires a multidisciplinary approach, with best practice treatment often including a pain specialist, physiotherapist and a psychologist working together to reduce pain for the patient over

the long term.

According to Dr John Monagle, an anaesthetist at St John of God Berwick Hospital who has a special interest in pain management, treatment from both a physiotherapist and psychologist can greatly benefit the management of chronic pain.

“In circumstances where patients have experienced pain over a long period of time, the body can sometimes start misinterpreting non-pain related signals as pain.

“In these situations complementary therapies such as active physiotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy from a psychologist can help patients to reduce the amount of pain they experience without a heavy reliance on medications that may become less effective over time,” he says.

In order to educate chronic pain sufferers on effective, multidisciplinary pain management methods and also to encourage sufferers to seek support, Dr Monagle is holding a forum on managing chronic pain.

Supported by physiotherapist Christine Driver and psychologist Angela Scanlon, Dr Monagle will discuss how chronic pain needs to be treated holistically, and is a condition that shouldn’t simply be treated with medication alone.

The free event is open to all and is being held on Tuesday July 23 in the Granada Room of St John of God Berwick Hospital at 6.00pm.

It will include talks from all three specialists.

If you are interested in attending the event, please RSVP to Gillian.coyle@sjog.org.au.

FOCUS ON … TAX TIME

Spotlight on clothing claim The Australian Taxation Office will target false clothing and laundry work-related expense claims this tax time.

In 2018, around six million people claimed work-related clothing and laundry expenses totalling nearly $1.5 billion.

Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat said although many Australians can claim clothing and laundry expenses, it’s unlikely that half of all taxpayers are required to wear uniforms, protective clothing or occupation-specific clothing to earn their income.

“You must have spent the money you are claiming on buying or cleaning eligible clothes.

While you don’t need receipts for claims up to $150, we can ask how you calculated your claim. We may even ask your employer if you have a required uniform,” Ms Foat said.

“Last year a quarter of all clothing and laundry claims were exactly at the record-keeping limit. But don’t think that we won’t scrutinise a claim because we don’t require receipts,” she said.

The ATO is also concerned about the number of people claiming deductions for conventional clothing. Some retail workers claim normal clothes because their boss told them to wear a certain colour, or items from the latest fashion clothing line. Others think they can claim normal clothes because they only wear them to work.

“Your workplace may expect you to wear clothing items like suits or black pants. But an official ‘dress code’ doesn’t qualify as a uniform and you can’t make a claim for normal clothing, even if your employer requires you to wear it, or you only wear it to work.”

The ATO’s sophisticated data analytics is constantly improving and can identify unusual claims by comparing taxpayer claims to others in similar occupations.

“Our data analytics will flag claims that are significantly above the average in occupations

Clients are the priority

Common tax mistakes include people claiming ineligible clothing, claiming for something without having spent the money and not being able to explain the basis for how the claim was calculated that regularly claim for laundry, like chefs or security guards. It will also flag claims made by people in occupations that usually don’t claim, like office workers,” Ms Foat said.

“We don’t ignore incorrect claims just because they are small, because small amounts add up. No matter how small, it’s not ok to expect other Australians to pay for your dodgy claims. The ATO will be taking strong action this tax time to protect honest taxpayers who are claiming the right amount – no more and no less.”

Taxpayers who can’t substantiate their claims should expect to have them refused, and may be penalised for failing to take reasonable care when submitting their tax return.

Winter arts display

By Taylah Eastwell The Berwick Artists Society is holding an exhibition at Bunjil Place library from 13 to 26 July as part of the City of Casey’s Winter Arts Festival.

The exhibition showcases 93 paintings by members of the Berwick Artists Society, with the public encouraged to vote for their favourite masterpiece.

The artists will be demonstrating their artistic flare at the exhibition every day between 10am and noon, and again between 2pm and 4pm.

Berwick Artists Society president Rosemary Stayner said the exhibition was a great way to involve the general public with the Casey art scene.

“We’d be delighted to explain our work and chat to anyone about what we do,” Ms Stayner said.

Some of the works were judged by acclaimed artist Cathy Van Ee, who awarded Best in Show and Honourable Mentions.

“There is a huge variety of subjects and mediums on show and most will be for sale.”

Cavs are up for a battle

By Tyler Lewis The Casey Cavaliers Championship Men lost their second game on the hop in Big V basketball action - this time to the Chelsea Gulls 107-96 at the Patterson River Stadium, with the Gulls in turn having won their last two.

Corey Standerfer was the Cavaliers' biggest concern as he put up a triple-double with 26 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds for the Gulls, while Raheem Lemons recorded his third double-double in five weeks for the Cavs, collecting 18 points and 12 rebounds.

The fourth-placed Cavaliers will take on Keilor, which has won its past two matches and is breathing down the neck of Casey in fifth place.

Casey's Championship Women's side punished the winless Warrnambool Mermaids on Sunday afternoon, 96-57, to win their second game in as many outings.

Despite Warrnambool's winless season, the Cavs were terrific in all facets of the game. Tarryn Wilkin (11 points and 13 rebounds) and Toccara Ross (22 points and 12 rebounds) both posted double-doubles in the telling victory.

The Cavaliers made a real mess of the Mermaids across the entire court, with every player on the roster scoring at least five points.

Amy Wormald was the best for the Mermaids scoring 15 points and bringing down eight rebounds.

Next round, Casey has an extremely important clash when it hosts the in-form McKinnon

Cougars, who have won their past four matches and are on equal wins in the standings.

The Cavaliers Youth Men's side had an undesirable last match before playoffs against the eighth-placed Frankston Blues, going down 80-75.

It wasn't all bad for the Cavs as Alex Bazzucchini (19 points and 11 rebounds) recorded his best game for the year.

Josh Clearly was important for the Blues in the big upset as he put up 15 points and registered almost half of his side's assists with eight.

Casey will shrug off the loss and head into the elimination playoff match on Sunday against the Bendigo Braves at Casey Stadium from 1.30pm.

Casey's Youth Women have improved their record to 16-2 and 13 in a row with a comfortable 88-66 win over McKinnon on Saturday evening.

Despite winning by 22 points, the Cavaliers should have won by more, shooting an appalling 20 per cent from beyond the arc.

Lauren Tuplin continued her run of form after 30 points last week, recording 14 points from only 18 minutes on the floor against the Cougars - While Lily Tait was the best for the Cougars with 21 points and 11 rebounds.

With the season's end only two matches away, Casey's playoffs essentially start in the next two rounds when they take on the fourthplaced Camberwell and second placed Keilor.

Raheem Lemons, pictured earlier this season, has continued his strong form for the Cavs. 192497 Picture: ROB CAREW

The Dogs snarl at Marvel "It's frustrating for the coaches, but for the players and everyone, we worked pretty hard and didn't capitalise on our work."

Casey Demons coach Sam Radford knows all too well just how vital Sunday's match at Marvel Stadium was. In reality, it was an eightpoint game with what looms as a tricky month ahead.

Despite having the strangle on Footscray for lengthy periods of the match, the Demons were unable to capitalise and in turn allowed the Dogs to launch several end-to-end goals.

Right from the opening bounce it was evident that no love had been lost between the two sides that went head to head for the 2016 premiership.

For the best part of seven minutes the ball had lived in the Casey front half, but that wasn't reflected on the scoreboard. And as they did all day, the Bulldogs utilised the dry conditions under the roof to slingshot from the unpolished Demons' entries.

Footscray 22-year-old Bailey Dale proved a real handful in the early stages of the match, kicking the opening 2.1 for the Dogs against the flow of the Demons' ascendancy at the contest.

With only moments left in the opening term the Demons were on the ropes, trailing by 23-points and, without a goal, they were in dire need of a steadier.

Oskar Baker charged back with the flight of the ball, colliding with Lachie Young to take a spine-tingling mark and, more importantly,

bounce back up to convert the Demons' opening major for the afternoon.

Rueben Williams and Lin Jong made it a hard trek for the Demons with the opening majors of the second term to push the lead out to five goals.

With he and his team mates finding themselves up against it once more, 2018 Casey best and fairest winner Corey Wagner was the man on this occasion to lift the Demons. Not only did he have a physical impact at the stoppages, but he also slotted a tremendous running goal which was shortly followed by captain Mitch White converting his set shot.

After an arm wrestle of a second term, neither side had made inroads from the quartertime scoreline.

From the very first stoppage of the second half, Wagner emerged and found the leading Jay Kennedy-Harris.

Kennedy-Harris, who had been among the Demons' best all day, couldn't convert the set shot to bring the margin down to 11 points and the Dogs went coast to coast to make it a two goal turn around in the matter of 30 seconds.

But Corey Wagner again lifted his side late in the term with a snap around his body to bring the margin back to 21 points heading into the final break.

Anthony Scott launched a booming left foot punt from beyond the arc to make it extremely difficult for the Demons with the margin out to 27 points. Regardless of the deficit, Casey continued to attack the Bulldogs and weren't willing to roll over.

With 23 minutes gone in the final term,

Toby Bedford (middle) had some important moments for the Demons on Saturday. 193716 Picture: ROB CAREW Toby Bedford lit up the contest - crumbing the pack, spinning from one tackle and sidestepping another to bring the Demons within 13 points before his teammate James Jordan kicked another within 90 seconds.

Unfortunately for the Demons they left their run too late to snatch the four points, ultimately making the next four matches of football decisive in the context of September action.

With the last three majors of the match inside 13 minutes of football, Casey was storming home. Although disappointed with the result - a seven-point loss, 12.8 (80) to 10.13 (73) - Radford was pleased with his side's never give up attitude.

"We were certainly coming home hard," he said.

"The boys never gave up which is a really good trait of the team, we have fought and scrapped all year to be honest but we haven't had the polish at times to hurt teams.

"The Bulldogs did enough and deserved to win, but I was really happy with the resilience shown by the guys and how we kept just coming back at them."

Casey seemed to be done and dusted late in the term before a magical goal straight from the small forward textbook by Toby Bedford changed the gears of his side to go again, and Radford says Bedford's football has been gradually improving each week.

"Toby was one of those guys that took a couple weeks to find their feet at senior level," he said.

"He is working hard and is going in the right direction.

"We feel like he is improving and developing every week, he has been really consistent with his pressure and his drop of the ball all season."

The Demons face a crunch home clash this Saturday against Geelong at Casey Fields, beginning at 2.10pm.

Officer’s ruthless edge

By Nick Creely Officer proved that it's got a ruthless edge to its football, dismantling Warburton Millgrove at home in front of a legion of its life members and VIP guests on Saturday, 22.13 (145) to 0.5 (5).

It was a result the Kangaroos simply needed - a hard, clinical four-quarter effort.

The Kangaroos - who have been up and down in form in AFL Outer East Division 1 found their groove in the attacking end, with skipper Matthew Clarke slotting six as the home side made life difficult for the Burras.

The home side was electric in the opening quarter, kicking beautifully in front of goal to kick 11 first term goals, and opened up a whopping 80-point advantage at the long break.

Showing no signs of slowing down, the home side ensured the Burras would walk away goalless in its most complete four quarter performance of the season, with all elements of the game coming together to fire a warning shot to the other finals contenders in the competition.

While Clarke shone with another bag of goals as he continues to make a serious splash in 2019, midfielder Tyler Clark was once again superb, veteran Ben Tivendale found three majors himself and a stack of the footy, while ruckman Sean Roach and Harry Dean all played well across the ground, with Roach in particular relishing the conditions with his big frame and ability to create a contest.

Officer coach Doug Koop said it was important to start the game the way it did, and praised his group for putting the game to bed early.

"Everything seemed to flow our way in the first quarter, when your 10 goals up at quarter time the game is done and dusted," he said.

"To their credit they certainly shut the game down and became far more competitive which

Officer skipper Matthew Clarke was in fine touch with six majors. 195432 made it harder for us to score, however we persisted and managed to kick away in the last quarter."

secured, the order of these spots is still well and truly a mystery at this stage, and Koop said monster wins like these will help boost his side at the back end of the home and away season.

"To have a very good percentage-winning boost could be important to our standing at the end of the season," he said.

"It's been a very long time since an Officer side has won by more than 100 points."

The Kangaroos are now 12 points clear of sixth spot and breathing down the neck fourth position in an upcoming fortnight that will shape the positions on the ladder.

Mount Evelyn, meanwhile, inflicted Pakenham with a shock four-point loss, in the Rovers' biggest - and most crucial - win of the season, 8.3 (51) to 6.11 (47).

The Rovers trailed for a large portion of a low-scoring afternoon, but found that extra

gear late, kicking three goals to two in the final term to snare a vital win in the context of their season.

Max Kleverkamp continued his fine form with another class display, and is slowly building into an ominous task for opposition clubs, while for the Lions, Joe Baker-Thomas fought hard all afternoon in the ruck.

In the other games across the weekend, Doveton was inaccurate but ultimately victorious against Belgrave, 14.24 (108) to 9.11 (65), with youngster Max Sheppard slotting four goals and Matt Stapleton in fine touch, while Monbulk did what it needed to in a strong home win against Emerald, 13.16 (94) to 1.10 (16).

Glenn Strachan once again played a class game for the undefeated Hawks, while Johnathon Hevern was once again a presence. For the Bombers, Jarrad Donders battled valiantly.

Hillis stars for Panthers

By Tyler Lewis MORNINGTON PENINSULA DIVISION 2 - ROUND 14 Devon Meadows star Joel Hillis recorded a dominant seven goals for the Panthers in their big win over Pearcedale that saw them climb above Tyabb on the ladder.

Devon kicked five goals to two in both the second and fourth terms to come away 15.9 (99) to 6.7 (43) victors.

Ex-Mornington and Cranbourne player Max Gearon appeared among the Dales' best players for the ninth time from 13 games this season, continuing his terrific form.

Pearcedale has a difficult run home, playing each side currently sitting in the top four, in addition to the seventh-placed Somerville.

Leading Crib Point by only 1.85 per cent, the Dales will have to compete with the best to avoid stooping below the Magpies in last place.

SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 13 The second-placed Keysborough came away with the win against the fifth-placed Hampton in a low scoring affair at home, 5.7 (37) to 4.7 (31). Bailey Griffin and Tim Werner were the only multiple goal kickers for their respective sides.

Elsewhere, the ladder-leading Springvale Districts had a comfortable 15.8 (98) to 2.5 (17) victory over Skye. Matt Wetering rebounded from his goalless last game against the Bombers in Round 4 and extended his lead atop the league's goal kicking tally with six majors.

The Doveton Eagles also shook off a wasteful start in the opening term to keep Chelsea Heights to the one major after quarter-time, winning 13.17 (95) to 4.6 (30). Nick Battle continued his run of form, appearing in the Eagles best for the fifth consecutive week.

DIVISION 3 - ROUND 13 An inaccurate Hampton Park defeated Black Rock 5.20 (50) to 3.5 (23) in treacherous conditions.

The sun appeared in patches throughout the game but it still wasn't warm enough for some umpires, who adjudicated the match with hoodies underneath their uniforms.

In a day where goals were cherished, Reece Smart provided an impressive highlight with a miraculous right foot snap from deep in the pocket to defy the conditions.

DIVISION 4 - ROUND 13 The ladder-leading Lyndhurst flexed its muscles against Hallam in its 5.3 (33) to 2.5 (17) win. Kevin Twite was named in best for the Lightning as his side impressively improved its average points against to 37.

In other games, South Yarra demolished Lyndale 7.15 (57) to 1.2 (8), with the Tigers held goalless until the final term where Hayden Favero broke the shackles for his side's only major for the afternoon. Dandenong went into the final break trailing by only two points in its clash before Moorabbin stormed home with six final quarter goals to run out 12.11 (83) to 7.9 (51) winners. Redlegs forward Phillip Mus-

Devon Meadows' Leigh Craig celebrates a final term goal. 195456 cat led from the front for Dandenong, kicking a trio of goals for the fifth week running.

VFLW ROUND 10 Lily Mithen starred for Casey in its 3.2 (20) to 4.6 (30) loss to the Western Bulldogs, gathering 23 disposals and 16 tackles for the Demons as the Dogs held them goalless for the middle quarters of the game.

In true wintry conditions, Casey kicked the last two majors of the match but the damage

was already done with only the one goal for three quarters of football.

Casey has lost its last six matches but remarkably is only two wins outside of the six with six rounds remaining.

WEST GIPPSLAND ROUND 14 Tooradin-Dalmore registered a comfortable 39-point win against Kilcunda Bass at home on Saturday afternoon, 10.14 (74) to 5.5 (35).

The Seagulls further entrenched them-

Picture: ROB CAREW selves into third position on the ladder with the crucial four points, leading at every change in a horrendous day conditions-wise.

Once again, Julian Suarez was dominant with three goals in a best afield performance, while Brad Lenders and the ever-consistent Nick Lang (three goals) each did their part.

The Seagulls will look to maintain pressure on Phillip Island and Cora Lynn at the top of the ladder when they play the Warragul Industrials on Saturday.

United stars set to return to Casey in a real blockbuster

By Hayley Wildes The growth of the Casey Basketball Association has been profound over recent years and one of the yearly highlights for the association is hosting a Melbourne United pre-season game.

For the third consecutive year, Casey Basketball Association will host some of the very best athletes in the country when United take on the Cairns Taipans at Casey Stadium from 7.30pm on Friday, 6 September.

In what will be a massive treat for local basketball fans, the game will be the first time United's new squad for the upcoming 2019/20 NBL season will grace the floor together.

With the big-name import pairing of Melo Trimble and Shawn Long already signed on, and the return of local superstars Chris Goulding, Mitch McCarron and David Barlow, United has re-loaded and Casey basketball fans will have the first glimpse of the team in action.

Trimble is a point guard who can score in berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

bunches and, over the off-season, he made the switch from Cairns to Melbourne, so this will add another layer to an already mouth-watering clash.

Long is a highlight-machine who will throw down thunderous dunks all game long, while Goulding has long been known as a flat-out scorer.

Cairns is a team that boasts some extremely exciting young guns and it is sure to be an entertaining spectacle as both teams prepare for the season ahead.

The Taipans will be led by Majok Deng, who is a star on the rise and has shown over the past couple of seasons that he is one of the most enthralling players in the league when he gets going. Next to him will be another local young gun, Kouat Noi. Noi is shaping as a potential 2020 NBA Draft pick, so fans will want to keep an eye on him.

Tickets start at $10 for kids and $25 for adults. For more information and to buy tickets, head to trybooking.com/BDWWA.

The Tiguan 132TSI R-Line Edition

It’s hard to take your eyes off the Tiguan 132TSI R-Line Edition. With its sporty R-Line styling, sleek 19-inch Sebring alloy wheels and tinted windows, it really is the standout SUV. And with race cloth upholstery, Active Info Display and a feature packed Driver Assistance Package including Rear Traffic Alert and Traffic Jam Assist, it’s just as appealing on the inside.

Add to that the options of metallic or pearl paint plus a sunroof, and it really is hard to ignore.
