Little green thumbs make it happen Little learners from Rose Garden Kindergarten in Berwick ventured to Harkaway Primary School where they did their bit for National Tree Day on Friday 26 July.

Not afraid to get their hands dirty, the students planted trees behind the goal posts near the oval.

School captain Ellie was excited saying "We like to see kids getting muddy and having fun."

The school was grateful for the enormous generosity from The Squatting Frog Plant Nursery and Decor Centre as well as Rose Gardens Kindergarten for making the day possible.

"I just can't wait to see the trees grow," grade one student Joshua said.

Brooklyn from Grade 1 and Rachel of Prep plant trees as part of National Tree Day.

$132.4m losses Gamblers in Casey lost a staggering $132.4 million in the last financial year - prompting calls from critics to "outlaw the predatory and addictive features" of poker machines.

Figures from the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation show Casey took out second in the state with pokies losses - equal to $524 for every adult.

Of the 13 venues in Casey the Berwick Springs Hotel ranked second in Victoria, taking $19.7 million.

Hampton Park Tavern was also in the top 10 and had the largest increase in player losses, raking in $1.3 million more than the previous year.

Punters also forked out $6.6 million at Amstel Golf Club; $12.9 million at Fountain Gate Taverner, and $8.2 million at Trio Sports Club in Cranbourne.

Cranbourne Information and Support Service's executive officer Leanne Petrides said gambling had devastating effects on families seeking their help.

"We see a number of people attending our service for counselling and financial counselling who have lost so much due to gambling on the pokies including their relationships and, in some cases, their homes," she said.

"We are also working with an increasing number of children and young people who are addicted to gaming."

Casey acting director of city planning and infrastructure Duncan Turner said council been advocating for the State Government to extend a cap on the number of Electronic Gaming Machines (EGM) for the whole municipality.

"Council remains concerned about gambling losses being experienced by Casey residents, particularly given many are from vulnerable communities already experiencing relatively high levels of socio-economic disadvantage," Mr Turner said.

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

Alliance for Gambling Reform spokesman, the Reverend Tim Costello said poker ma-

chines led to the loss of much more than money in the Casey community.

"In extreme cases, poker machines cause the loss of lives due to suicide," Rev Costello said. "Then there is the loss of homes, families, relationships, jobs, cars and much more due to gambling harm."

"We call on the Victorian Government to outlaw the predatory and addictive features on poker machines that trick people into believing they are winning when they are actually losing money," he said.

Bad Bets Australia spokesman Rowan Wenn said the gambling industry was deliberately "set up" to take money from the vulnerable who sought an "escape" in pokies machines.

IN BRIEF

Station grand plan

By Brendan Rees Casey Council is calling on the State Government to deliver a new 'landmark' railway station at Berwick with a preferred 'rail under road' level crossing.

It comes as works on the Clyde Road level crossing is set for removal by 2022, with a design to be announced later in the year and works beginning in 2020.

At their Tuesday 16 July meeting, councillors resolved to write to the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) seeking the delivery of a new railway station regardless of the level crossing outcome.

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said the level crossing project presented itself as a "prime opportunity" to adequately plan and redevelop the Berwick Health and Education Precinct in partnership with the Federal and State Governments - which is set to accommodate up to 8,500 jobs, 11,300 students, 751 hospital beds and 1,000 high density dwellings under a planning scheme.

Cr Stapledon said council had so far been "flexible and accommodating" with LXRP projects in Casey with the less expensive 'rail over road' solution being implemented at Ev-

Traffic builds at level crossing on Clyde Road, Berwick.

"However, the level crossing at Clyde Road in Berwick is of major strategic significance and warrants a more sophisticated design solution," she said.

"Clyde Road Level Crossing Removal project provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform the station with a well-integrated design solution that provides improved multimodal connectivity, safety and accessibility for

our local community."

President of the Berwick Business Group, Tammy Lobato said their group supported council's push for a new train station, which would "benefit from increased economic activity, greater time efficiency, safer roads and increased open space."

The group was also thrilled with the impending Clyde Road level crossing removal after more than 10 years of advocacy.

"We are aware that, whichever way the project is engineered, there will be significant impact on traffic flow and changed access arrangements to some businesses," Ms Lobato said.

In April the Federal Government promised a $15 million upgrade at Berwick train station carpark for up to 500 new car spaces.

Former commuter Danielle Soobaroyen said gave up her job in Melbourne's CBD due to the "nightmare" of finding a morning car park at Berwick station.

"It was such an issue for me ... I just couldn't deal with it," she said.

Ms Soobaroyen said she would have to park about 6.30am to assure herself of an all-day parking spot, but had children to drop off at child-care.

Selfless volunteers honoured in Casey Community members and groups from across the City of Casey were honoured on Friday 26 July evening at the Casey Volunteer Awards Ceremony.

Clive Butler was announced as the Individual Volunteer of the Year thanks to his outstanding service in Casey across the past 35 years.

"I certainly did come as a surprise," he said.

"If I join a club and I can help in some way well then I put my hand up."

The 89-year-old has volunteered with St Andrew's Berwick Uniting Church since the late 1980's, and has also coordinated the fundraising for Transit Soup Kitchen in Narre Warren.

"I have to be involved if something interests me - and that's basically what drives me," Mr Butler said.

Sadia Batool Ali received a Highly Commended Award in this category for her work in the community assisting Hazara women to settle in Australia.

In a first for the awards, Jessica Borstelj and Tarali Bendix were the two joint winners of the Casey Young Volunteer Award.

Jessica is a horse care volunteer with the Riding for Disabled, while Tarali, at just 11 years of age, is a dedicated junior coach at Berwick Flames Basketball Club.

The Casey Volunteering Pair Award was awarded to Ian and Carmel Cuthbertson, a husband and wife duo who have volunteered for many of the Westernport's coastal safety causes, from transmitting daily weather and safety information to ships at sea, to radio listening and assisting in the rescue of stranded boats. They also volunteer with a guide dog pet

House goes up in flames Firefighters were called to a vacant house fire in Cranbourne North on Monday 29 July.

The fire broke out at the single-storey weatherboard home on Endeavour Drive about 5am and crews arrived shortly after.

About 15 firefighters from Cranbourne and Narre Warren brigades attended with the support of Bayswater breathing apparatus van.

The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes.

The house was destroyed except for the back end and investigators are yet to determine the cause of the fire.

Cranbourne CFA station officer Ugur Ali confirmed there were no injuries and a smoke warning was issued for Cranbourne North, Lyndhurst, and Lynbrook.

Police, ambulance and a power company were also called.

Masterplan given green light Casey Council has formally adopted an $11 million master-plan for the Robert Booth Reserve in Hampton Park during a council meeting on 16 July.

Key projects for the reserve include improved pedestrian entrances; a new playground and picnic area; a new tennis centre at an alternative site in Hampton Park; new competition netball courts; refurbishment and extension of the sporting pavilion; new car parking, and a new fire brigade training area.

A total of 35 responses from the public were received with "overwhelming support" for the masterplan who say the "outputs would enhance the reserve."

Implementation will begin in the 2019-20 financial year with funding sources including Federal and State Government grants.

Teen charged with spate of burglaries and thefts Narre Warren police have arrested an 18-yearold man following a series of incidents across the south-eastern suburbs.

The youth was taken into custody following an investigation into a number of alleged burglaries where cigarettes were stolen between 21 April and 27 July iin Pakenham and Narre Warren.

He has been charged with six counts of burglary, 12 counts of theft, three counts of obtain property by deception, handle stolen goods, theft of motor vehicle and traffic offences.

The Narre Warren man has been remanded in custody to appear in Dandenong Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Change of pace for steps

By Brendan Rees The launch of Narre Warren's highly-anticipated 1001 steps track has been controversially dumped amid concerns it would have been disrupted by anti-mosque protesters.

Casey Council cancelled the event just days after approving plans for a proposed mosque in Narre Warren North where about 50 people were locked out of the public meeting on 16 July - which was described some as "disgusting" and "manipulative".

Staunch mosque opponent councillor Rosalie Crestani said she was "a bit shocked at first" of the event being scrapped but respected council's decision as "emotions in the community were still running high."

"I can see the reason why the mayor wanted to give it some space," she said.

Cr Crestani, who spearheaded the steps project three years ago, said she believed the community "would have acted peacefully" at the launch on 20 July.

"Possibly they (council) may have thought there had been a concern but I'm only assuming," she said.

Casey manager of governance Holly De Kretser said the event was postponed due to the "heightened emotions" following the council's decision to approve plans for a mosque."We felt this would detract from the celebration of this project," she said.

Cr Crestani said the steps, based at Bayview Park, had "resonated with the community".

"Already people are saying they regularly take the steps for their exercise and they don't want to travel further afield," she said.

"This has regional impact which is I think is exciting."

The track has transformed a disused tip into a $1 million tourist attraction with sweeping views of Port Phillip and Western Port bay.

Australian owned family business since 1979.

I would llke to record my congratulations to the City of Casey for the concept and organisation of the tree planting at Kurll park yesterday.

It was wonderful to see such a turnout of local residents volunteering their services in order to plant about ten thousand trees, and to be a part of that workforce, which numbered at about five hundred, so that the digging and planting took not much more than 90 minutes. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be part of that community, as a member of the bush walking club, and to be rewarded also with free lunch provided by the Sikh and SriLankan community food trucks. I will look forward to the next occasion.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On Friday 26 July, a story was shared to the Cranbourne and Berwick Star News Facebook pages about the closure of SKM's Coolaroo recycling plant, meaning recycling from the City of Casey will be temporarily sent to landfill. We asked our readers what they were doing to combat the recycling crisis. Here's how they responded: Jennie Range: I hope that Casey council change the charge their bringing in for keeping our second recycle bin if it's all going to landfill now. We shouldn't have to pay for the recycling if it's not being recycled. They should've implemented things 20-30 yrs or more ago when they first brought recycle bins in instead of passing the buck and we wouldn't have this problem now.

Ibrahim Ozerkan: What I'm doing is chucking all my rubbish in my rubbish bin and recycle bin cause it's all going to landfill, until government fixes this problem I will continue to do it. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

Recycler shuts the gates

By Danielle Kutchel Embattled recycling giant SKM has announced that it will immediately cease collecting recyclable materials - including those from the Casey and Cardinia regions.

The Environment Protection Authority has ordered Glass Recovery Services, a separate company that is next door to SKM's Coolaroo recycling site but that is owned by the same people, to stop accepting material due to fire risk. As a result, SKM has stopped accepting materials at its recycling site next door. SKM has been contacted for comment to clarify the situation.

In a media release posted to the organisation's website, EPA Resource Recovery facilities audit taskforce manager Danny Childs said the notice follows failure by the company to comply with previous EPA notices requiring it to address risks that its stockpiles posed to the community and the environment if there had been a larger fire.

"The company's stockpiles are in breach of the Waste Management Policy and it cannot receive further combustible waste at the site until EPA is satisfied it has gained compliance," Mr Childs said.

"A large volume of glass waste it has received at the site has been contaminated with other types of waste, such as mixed plastics and paper and has resulted in an increased fire risk within stockpiles."

It follows a similar closure of SKM sites earlier this year, that saw recycling diverted to landfill for several weeks.

SKM has contacted local councils which will be impacted, including the City of Casey.

City of Casey manager sustainability and waste, Michael Jansen, said the council had been advised of the closure late on Thursday 25 July.

As a result of the closure, Casey will send its

SKM, which processes recycling collected from Casey and Cardinia, has stopped collecting recycling again after an order from the EPA on an adjacent site. recyclable materials to landfill.

"Sending recyclable material to landfill always remains a last resort, however there is limited spare capacity in the Victorian recycling industry," he said.

"For the majority of councils who utilise SKM including Casey, the only immediate option available is to send recyclable materials to landfill until the matter is resolved or a viable

alternative becomes available.

"We are advised by SKM that this disruption is temporary. The collection of household recycling bins will continue as normal during this time."

He said that Casey was working with the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group and other affected councils to develop other solutions, both short and long term, to

manage the city's recycling.

"Residents can assist by reducing their waste and continuing to place the correct items in each bin. Residents can also assist by squashing, squeezing and flattening their recycling so more fits into the bin, and only put the recycling bin out for collection once it is full. If the matter is resolved quickly this will mean their recyclables may still be recovered at the next collection," Mr Jansen said.

Maurice Hall of the Akoonah Park Men’s Shed says the club is grateful for a $1,000 grant for their first aid training. 196176 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

First aid for Men’s Shed A group of local men's shed volunteers will use a $1000 CARE Grant from Stockland's Edgebrook community in Clyde to fund first aid training.

Akoonah Park Men's Shed president Ken O'Keefe said the grant would be used to help members of the Berwick club learn basic lifesaving skills.

"The grant will provide first aid training to selected members to ensure a safe environment and trained support in the event of an accident or illness episodes of attendees," he said.

"These members can provide prompt first aid whilst waiting for emergency services attendance, to all attending members and any visitors to the shed."

Along with the Akoonah Park Men's Shed, two other community groups received CARE Grants from Stockland's Edgebrook community: The Casey Warriors Rugby League Club and TRY Australia.

Stockland's Selandra Rise Retirement Village also awarded CARE Grants to the Berwick Chase Primary School and Cranbourne Junior Football Club.

No bail despite ‘victim’s plea

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A wife allegedly bashed and strangled by her exhusband over a three-day period has declined to give evidence against him, a bail hearing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court heard.

She also supported the dropping of charges including assault, threat to kill and persistent breaching of a family violence intervention order, as well as her alleged perpetrator's immediate release on bail.

The man has denied the allegations.

Acoording to police, the man had threatened her with a knife at Dandenong Oasis swimming pool, as well as in her own home.

He'd also woke her up in her own home at 1.30am - in breach of an intervention order, the court heard.

On 9 June, amidst another argument, the man allegedly slapped the victim's face and dragged her around the house.

He started "poking" a knife around her chest area, confiscated her phone and dragged her out to his car, the court was told.

As he drove, he choked her and threatened to kill her or her family as well as to commit

self-harm, police alleged.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen refused bail, despite accepting a defence lawyer's submission that there were "compelling reasons" for the man's release.

"It comes down to this. I'm not comfortable in releasing you on bail. I'm not confident that the risk of you reoffending can be reduced to an acceptable level."

He dismissed arguments that the prosecution case was weak.

"There is a sworn statement (by the wife). It is cogent. The allegations in it are serious.

"It is in the back-drop of there being arguments over a dowry and an allegation of an assault on 11 March.

"There have been further assaults, if not an escalation, by you on 7 June, 8 June, 9 June and 15 June."

Mr Vandersteen rejected the two addresses suggested for bail - either in Endeavour Hills or with a sister in West Australia - as unsuitable "in the absence of any evidence".

"Even if the evidence was before the court, it does not reduce the risk of you reoffending

against your ex-wife."

A defence lawyer argued that the allegations relied entirely on the wife's evidence. She had since made a 'no-complaint' statement that she was yet to sign, the lawyer said.

There was no corroborative evidence of injury, no CCTV or independent witnesses despite the allegations being set in "numerous public locations", the court heard.

Two other witnesses also refused to give a police statement.

The 30-year-old accused had no prior history, was well-educated as a maritime electrical engineer and was recently diagnosed with diabetes and depression, the court heard.

Spending the past six weeks in remand, the accused sat in the dock with an interpreter. He was a vulnerable prisoner due to language barriers, the lawyer told the court.

Police had opposed bail due to the man being an unacceptable risk to his ex-partner. A prosecutor conceded its case had "some evidentiary issues".

The man was remanded to appear at a contest hearing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 21 August.

Back yard intruders caught on cam

By Brendan Rees Would-be brazen intruders have been caught on a home surveillance camera in Clyde North.

The footage shows a car pull up at the front of the Clydevale Avenue home about 11.20am on Monday 15 July.

After a few minutes, a man wearing a highvis vest walks up to the front door before pressing the intercom button.

According to the home owner Gretharan Thiagarajah the men waited in a red ute for his pregnant wife to leave the house.

Another man jumped the side gate with the man in the high-vis vest following.

The men, carrying backpacks, were seen walking down the side of house looking through windows.

At one stage a man in a grey hoodie is captured walking quickly while carrying a piece of timber and peering into the windows.

Mr Thiagarajah, who moved into the area three years ago, said the men tried to force open garage door which connects to the house but weren't successful. It wasn't until he was gardening a couple of days later that Mr Thiagarajah noticed the side gate latch was bent and decided to back-track his cameras.

He said the men left by forcing the gate and running off after being spooked by someone possibly reading the gas and electricity metre.

Nothing was stolen and police are investigating. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Two men look through the windows of the Clyde North home.

FOCUS ON … TAX TIME

Minimising all the risk At BJT Business Advisors, tax is just one small part of what is done for clients.

Principal Michelle Beadle said that one of the fundamental aspects of owning a business was ensuring that your personal assets are protected from any misfortune that the business may be exposed to.

"Operating a business can be extremely rewarding, but it can also be risky," Ms Beadle said.

"Some businesses operate in a high-risk industries, for example, asbestos removal, or a high-risk environment for example, restuarants and food preparation businesses.

"There are other factors that can expose a business to risky situations, such as customers who go bankrupt, which, depending on the size of the customer, can put a great deal of pressure on your business.

"As a result, sometimes businesses are sued, and sometimes they go broke. A fundamental aspect of operating a business is to try and contain the damage to only one aspect of your life. This is where having the right business structure in place, along with good insurance, can mean that your personal assets have better protection than if you were operating as a sole trader."

Ms Beadle said there were a few key business structures that are used in Australia, and each has their pros and cons.

"Talking to your accountant will help you, as a business owner, to understand what the best structure is for your situation."

BJT Business Advisors is based in Berwick, and works with businesses and family groups all over Australia. The team's experience, empathy, and expertise means that your business is well looked after both now and in the future.

ATO says Lego not allowed in crackdown The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has published some of the most unusual claims that they disallowed last financial year.

Nearly 700,000 taxpayers claimed almost $2 billion of ‘other’ expenses including non-allowable items such as dental costs, child care, and even Lego sets.

Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat said that a systematic review of claims had found, and disallowed, some very unusual expenses.

“These claims add up to a lot of money. If the deduction isn’t directly related to earning income, we can’t allow it.”

“A couple of taxpayers claimed dental expenses, believing a nice smile was essential to finding a job – and was therefore deductible. It isn’t and their claims were disallowed.”

“Another taxpayer claimed the Lego sets they bought as gifts for their children. Unsurprisingly, this claim was disallowed. Personal gifts don’t qualify, and it’s not okay to ask Australian taxpayers to subsidise presents.”

‘Other’ deductions section of the tax return is for expenses incurred in earning income that don’t appear elsewhere on the return – such as income protection and sickness insurance premiums. However, the ATO review found that some taxpayers were incorrectly claiming a range of private expenses such as child support payments, private school fees, health insurance costs and medical expenses, all of which are not allowable.

“Where people make genuine mistakes, we simply disallow the claim. But when people are deliberately making dishonest claims, particularly for large sums, we will disallow the claim and may impose a penalty,” Ms Foat said.

“We want people to understand what expenses they can claim and receive every dollar they are entitled to. But making incorrect claims that are personal or private take funding away from providing essential community services, and that’s not ok.”

Remember, in order to claim an ‘other’

deduction, the expenses must be directly related to earning income and you need to have a receipt or record of the expense. If your expense relates to your employment, it should be claimed at the work related expenses section of the return.

To find out more about what deductions you can claim this tax time, visit: ato.gov.au/ individuals/mytax/2019/in-detail/other-deductions/ To find out more about the penalties for making false or misleading statements, visit: ato.gov.au/penalty The ATO myDeductions app makes it easier and more convenient to keep your expense and income records in one place.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Travis Carter, First Lieutenant with Narre Warren CFA fire brigade

THREE … ways to improve household recycling

1

Remember your Rs Reduce, reuse and recycle are still as important today as they were when the three Rs were first drummed into our heads years ago. Rinse old glass jars and use them for storing pasta, flour or cotton tips, and as much as possible buy products that have minimal packaging.

2

Recycle outdated technology E-waste includes any item that has a cord, battery or plug.

These items contain materials that can be toxic if released into waterways. There are local e-waste drop off points listed on the website https://maps. sustainability.vic.gov.au/ewaste/, with Telstra accepting all pre-loved mobile phones and batteries able to be dropped off at participating Aldi stores.

3

Invest in a re-usable morning coffee cup and drink bottle Research shows disposable coffee cups contain plastics that do not break down and are harmful to the environment. Coffee cups are also the second biggest contributor to waste in Australia, after plastic bottles. Reusable cups solve both of these problems and also seal better so your coffee stays warmer for longer.

The Metro Tunnel will make your journey easier no matter how you decide to travel Some of Melbourne’s busiest train lines – Sunbury, Cranbourne and Pakenham – will run exclusively through the new Metro Tunnel. It will untangle the City Loop, Melbourne’s biggest bottleneck.

The Metro Tunnel will create room for additional passengers during peak times and cut travel times for commuters by up to 50 minutes a day.

With more frequent trains carrying more people to destinations across Melbourne, the Metro Tunnel will also help take cars off our busy roads.

The Metro Tunnel will help take cars off our busy roads.

From 2 September, Flinders Street eastbound will be closed between Elizabeth Street and Swanston Street for up to three years. Thanks for your patience as we build the Metro Tunnel.

STAR NEWS 25

FOCUS ON ‌ YOUR HEALTH, YOUR IMAGE

Get immediate care In July SwiftQ Immediate Care was launched at Narregate Medical & Dental Centre in Narre Warren.

SwiftQ Immediate Care helps care for more Australians by providing walk-in patients with quick, accessible treatment for non-lifethreatening illnesses and injuries.

The new service complements the recurring and preventative healthcare services provided by normal GP services, with nurses triaging patients into the appropriate treatment channel.

National Urgent Care Medical Director John Adie draws on his Kiwi experience when talking about the SwiftQ Immediate Care service and says that the team has leveraged global best practice from countries like NZ who lead the way in Immediate Care. “In Australia many people who require the services SwiftQ Immediate Care can provide will visit a hospital if they cannot see a GP in time. Studies suggest that 8.4 – 50% of those individuals who present at a hospital’s emergency department could’ve been seen and treated by a GP. On the flipside, an Australian study found 3% of patients that walk into a medical centre to see a GP have a potentially life-threatening emergency.

“It’s fantastic to be able to offer more options of care to patients who walk into our medical centres. This in turn helps reduce the burden on the Australian health care system with the high costs associated with hospital treatment."

Since launching, the team has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients and practitioners.

The benefits of SwiftQ Immediate Care are multifaceted. Patients receive a wider range of treatment options for minor accidents and illnesses at their medical center if required, potentially saving a trip to the hospital.

There is also more opportunity for continuity of care with their regular GP and medical centre following treatment and the options to be referred onto onsite Allied Health Providers like dental, pharmacy, physiotherapy and psychology.

SwiftQ Immediate care supports GPs by providing their patients with a walk-in service meaning they can concentrate on their booked patients and a modified triage process designed to identify and treat potentially unwell patients in a timely manner.

SwiftQ Immediate Care is open every day from 8am to 8pm.

Give pain the boot Foot and leg pain is extremely common in people of all ages and lifestyles according to Dr Paul Dowie from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Berwick.

Dr Downie said children often suffer from growth and development conditions, seniors commonly present with joint pain and arthritic concerns, while others suffer from heel, arch and knee pain, as well as sports and overuse injuries.

The good news is that all of these conditions are extremely treatable, if you have a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Dr Dowie is one of Australia’s leading foot, ankle and knee pain experts and has been the chosen practitioner for some of the world's best athletes. With 20 years' experience, he has assisted thousands of men, women, children and seniors with a range of complex foot, ankle, knee and hip pain and concerns.

He even advises and trains other health practitioners in the latest treatments to help: alleviate pain, heal injuries, improve function and mobilitiy, assist children’s growth and development issues, aid tissue regeneration for injured and arthritic joints.

¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

As one of Australia’s leading foot and leg pain experts, Dr Dowie has expertise in musculoskeletal medicine, sports medicine, biomechanics, regenerative therapies and is one of Australia’s most experienced prescription orthotic experts and professional consultants.

Utilising the very latest medical research and treatments, including Prolotherapy and PRP, Dr Dowie and Foot and Leg Pain Clinics are leaders in their field. They provide clinically proven treatment plans to assist common and complex conditions such as: Heel pain and diagnosed Plantar Fasciitis Knee pain and arthritis Ankle pain and Achilles conditions Shin pain Bunions Foot pain and arthritis Injuries Children’s / Teenagers growing pains and development issues They’ve even assisted many to avoid or prolong surgery and reduce or eliminate long-term medications.

Demons claw back to life

By Tyler Lewis When Matthew Parker dribbled home a goal in the opening minutes of the third term and extended the Sandringham lead to 29 points, Casey was staring at the curtains of its season.

But it was the kid and the captain who climbed the Demons back into the contest not only keeping their side’s season alive but also showing ominous signs for the future.

Youngster Kyle Dunkley and Mitch White were herculean in the resuscitation of Casey in the third term.

An inspiring win by Casey started in the worst possible fashion; 30 seconds in, Sam Weideman collided with team mate Declan Kielty and was ruled out with concussion.

With Jake Melksham and Billy Stretch on limited minutes upon return and Weideman out of the game, the Demons were up against it

without a score from either side on the board.

From the opening bounce, contested bull Jimmy Munro went to the side of Jack Steven in what loomed as a monumental test for the mature age draft smokey - but Munro wasn’t the only Demon facing a test as the Zebras snuck out to a two goal lead at the first interval.

Mitch White’s first goal brought the lead back marginally but the Zebras then shifted into gear, kicking four of the next five majors in the term, including a goal on the siren to go into the main break with all the momentum.

Trailing by almost five goals, Casey needed a lift and Mitch White intercepted and goaled before wheeling onto his trusty left for another major only moments later.

Kyle Dunkley then calmly kicked his second for the term in the dying moments to make it a one-point ball game going into the final term.

With it all on the line, ruckman Brayden

Preuss took control, giving the Demons silver service from the ruck, which they utilised perfectly in the final term to snatch a brilliant victory from the clutches of defeat.

Sam Radford was incredibly pleased with his side’s fight and resilience to get over the line, especially Dunkley and White in the third term.

“I think both didn’t have a great start a bit like the team,” he said.

“But in the third they were both absolutely awesome - Kyle through the midfield and going forward he was running really hard and Mitch White was super.

“He (White) could’ve kicked four or five and he lead from the front.”

Jimmy Munro went to four-time Trevor Barker Medalist Jack Steven and despite Stevens’s strong number, Munro limited his impact from quarter time onwards.

“Jimmy did really well on an absolute quality AFL player,” Radford said.

“Jack finished with 20 touches and two goals but Jimmy finished with 30 touches and eight clearances for us.

“He was influential and did a great job for the team - Jack was outstanding for the first quarter and then Jimmy was able to limit his effect.”

The Demons go into the final three games needing to win all three to secure September action, but this week they face the in-form Tigers at Punt Road, and Radford is hopeful the come from behind victory can build some confidence in the group.

“Hopefully they take a bit of confidence knowing things weren’t going well but hopefully it gives them a bit of confidence that when we do get it right, we can be pretty impressive,” he said.

Talent shines at Shepley as neighbouring rivals face off

By Tyler Lewis

A desperate Sam Flanders looks to smother this Corey Ellison kick. 195934 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS kicked 1.9 while the Power only registered three points.

With the Power holding a handy 21-point buffer at the final interval it was all to play for in the last term.

But when Mason McGarrity snatched the ball from the pack and tumbled the ball towards goal, it pushed the lead to 27 points and made it extremely hard for Dandenong to snap its losing streak.

Bravo hit back with an amazingly similar goal from his first goal in the second but the margin was too much.

Josh Smith then climbed the pack to bring down an impressive grab and kick his second before Keith Robinson also converted his set shot to cement the Power as one of the serious contenders come September.

Flanders is touted to be selected in the top ten of November’s national draft and his game impressed Gippsland coach Rhett McLennan, along with the rest of his side.

“I thought Sam Flanders’ game was really good again,” he said.

“Some explosive stuff, he got caught a bit but some moments there he looked to do some sensational things.

“He had a consistent output so I was really pleased for Sam.

“We are really happy with the performance; all in all I thought we had winners across the board so it was really pleasing to put in a performance like that.

“We have two weeks off and then prepare the guys for our final game and then finals.”

Dandenong went into the game with a wounded line-up, losing two players before the bounce and another two with seasonending injuries within the match, which made Stingrays coach Nick Cox make some changes on the spot.

“We lost Jai Nancaswen before the game as well, we had to change some things around and some players came in really late - calling kids at 9 in the morning saying ‘you’re in’ was not great for us,” Cox said.

“Sam had a virus, Jai had a shoulder from the game against Box Hill, Bailey dislocated his shoulder and Max Gregory in the third quarter broke his collarbone in two places as well.

“At the same time it gave some opportunity.

“Credit to the boys, they put up a pretty good fight against quality opposition for most of the day.

“The scoreboard didn’t really indicate how I thought we went.”

The Stingrays were controlling the term in the third quarter, a passage of play that Cox

The Power's Josh Smith celebrates a goal on Saturday. 195934 wasn’t impressed with.

“The amount of time we had the ball inside 50, the most important thing is scoreboard pressure and we just didn’t put it on them,” he said “We had some really easy shots and that’s something we spoke about.

“At the end of the day, good players don’t miss from 30 out directly in front.”

Young was named best afield for Dandenong in another stand out performance, and Cox knows all too well how good he is becoming.

“There is no doubt that over the last couple of weeks that Hayden Young has enhanced his reputation as being a top five draft pick,” he said.

“He played midfield and forward and was exceptional for us, he controlled the game at times.

“It would have been easy when we were under siege to throw him back to sure us up - to his credit he was doing his bit through the middle.”

Dandenong will host the ladder leaders Eastern Ranges this Saturday at Shepley Oval, whereas Gippsland will have the next two weeks off heading into a final round football bonanza at Queen Elizabeth Oval.

12418953-SN22-19

It was an AFL talent scout’s paradise at Shepley Oval on Saturday as the prospects came to play.

The Vic Country and Combine squads in 2019 have been riddled with Gippsland Power and Dandenong Stingrays players.

When the fixture arose for the sides to meet this late in the season, it threatened to be a draft-shaping contest.

And it didn’t disappoint.

The day started horrifically for the Stingrays with Sam De Koning a late exclusion prematch and Bailey Schmidt going down with a match ending injury inside the opening minutes of the first term.

Losing Schmidt early meant that Bigoa Nyuon had to spend more time in the ruck than usual and the dynamic tall thrived on the opportunity to get around the ball more.

But the Gippsland engine room, led by Sam Flanders, went to work on the inside and when tested the respective stars stood out.

Josh Smith proved to be a handful with the exclusion of De Koning as he was ominous every time the long ball entered his forward 50, snapping a marvellous goal to extend the margin to two goals at the first break.

After a sluggish opening term where players were losing their feet at almost every turn, the Stingrays converted the opening major of the second quarter from a threading drop punt by Will Bravo from deep in the pocket.

Bravo who was tight on the boundary went with the drop punt and kept the umpire stationary as he snuck the ball through the smallest of gaps to get his side within a kick.

Despite Hayden Young’s ridiculous second term - where the elegant left-footer brought his own football - Gippsland converted five majors late in the quarter and opened the game up at half-time to what ended up being a match winning margin.

Trailing by 33-points at the main break, Dandenong wasn’t going to roll over.

The Stingrays lifted immensely through Ned Cahill adding a spark in the midfield and Young improving the entries inside 50 across half-forward.

Dandenong was in control of the match and was threating to get back into the contest, but through terrible efficiency the Rays kept themselves out of it.

After four behinds in a row, Young strolled in and converted a stylish running goal, but it was his side’s only major for the term as they

MORNINGTON PENINSULA DIVISION 2 - ROUND 16 Devon Meadows has fallen back to earth after its back-two-back victories, going down to Tyabb, 9.10 (64) to 6.12 (48).

Harris Elkasovic was named best afield for the Panthers in his first game in over a month of football, while Simon Rahilly was the best for the Yabbies.

The win puts the Panthers and Yabbies on equal points on the home run with Devon leading the way on percentage.

Pearcedale, meanwhile, suffered another heavy defeat, this time to neighbouring rival Somerville, 19.14 (128) to 8.8 (56).

The Dales were competitive in every term but just didn’t have the firepower to keep up with the Eagles who are pushing for September action.

Shannon Reed was among the best for the Dales with his four majors for the afternoon while Paul Fermanis (six goals) and Daniel Marshall (five goals) were prolific again up forward.

SOUTHERN DIVISION 2 - ROUND 15 Keysborough stayed in touch with top spot with its 15.15 (105) to 6.5 (41) win over East Brighton on Saturday.

Keysborough’s five unanswered goals in the final term secured its important victory. Chris Bryan maintained his goal kicking custom with six majors while Marcus Lavender was named best for the Vampires.

The Doveton Eagles enjoyed a handy week off close to finals after its Good Friday clash with Springvale Districts rolled over into Round 15.

DIVISION 3 The ladder-leading Hampton Park embar-

The Lions got the jump on the Lightning in the opening term and didn’t look back as they ran away with an impressive 61-point win.

The Frankston Dolphins, meanwhile, dismantled Dandenong, 22.18 (150) to 7.5 (47).

The Dolphins led at every change and coasted home off the back of an impressive team display.

The victory now keeps the Dolphins in touch with the ladder-leading Lyndhurst and keeps the Redlegs searching for their second win of 2019.

Moorabbin sustained the pressure in its shootout against Lyndale, winning 19.7 (121) to 14.8 (92).

The Kangaroos led by four points at the final change but stormed home with six goals to two in the final term.

Dylan Bone was named best afield for Lyndale with his six majors, while Matt Johansson was also named best for the Kangaroos for his six-goal effort.

And Hallam secured a monumental come from behind win against Carrum-Patterson Lakes.

The Hawks trailed at every interval of the match except the most important one, kicking three goals to one in the final term - coming home 10.14 (74) to 10.9 (69) victors.

VFLW ROUND 12 Casey’s finals hopes took a big hit in its 5.14 (44) to 2.3 (15) loss to the Southern Saints on Sunday.

The Saints were wasteful in front of goal but proved why they are sitting pretty in second position on the ladder in a solid display.

Shelley Heath and Harriet Cordner were named in the best for the Demons, while Katherine Smith kicked a goal and didn’t stop trying.

Talented Cranbourne North basketballer Alannah Gillespie has earned a spot in the School Sport Victoria (SSV) under-18 team and will now vie for the Australian title.

The 16-year-old, who plays for the Nunawading Spectres, will take part in the School Sport Australia Championships in Bendigo from 10-16 August.

She participated in a structured trial process to be selected to represent the SSV State Team.

"Special thanks to her coach Ivan Dukanac for working with her and pushing her to aim high," they said.

"We wish Alannah good luck at the championship."

The Wickers were at their best in their win against Beaconsfield on Saturday. 195969

Pictures: ROB CAREW

The Wickers are on song

By Nick Creely OUTER EAST FOOTBALL PREMIER AND DIVISION 1 REVIEW ROUND 13 On the surface, a 34-point win doesn’t appear to be anything special.

But it was the manner in which Berwick knocked over the in-form Beaconsfield that was just so impressive.

Whether it’s with their backs against the wall, in the driving rain, or with sunny and dry conditions, the Wickers just always have that extra gear to their game.

Despite appearing to have settled the quicker of the two sides down at Edwin Flack Reserve on Saturday, Leigh McQuillen’s Eagles got the early break after a cracking goal in traffic from Kyle O’Sullivan saw the visitors push in front and take in a six-point lead at quarter time.

Even though Ash Smith’s drive was providing a headache, and the likes of Jo West, Harry Money and Jesse Cirulis started strong, the visitors’ miserly defence was on top.

Early in the second quarter, the Eagles managed to extend their margin to two-goals, before a piece of magic from one of the competition’s superstars got the home side up and about.

Travis Tuck - who had a quiet start to the game - snapped the ball in heavy traffic from almost the paint of 50, kick starting a blistering run from the champs that saw them take control and punish the Eagles on turnover.

When Harry Money calmly slotted his third goal midway through the second term to drag the lead out to 18 points, the Wickers had quickly wrestled back control with five unanswered goals in a matter of 15 minutes.

Another further two goals before half-time effectively put the game to bed, with Rhys Nisbet’s electric side walking into the main break with a 29-point lead after a goal on the siren.

Despite the Eagles continuing to try and take on the corridor, the sheer class and pressure applied by the home side proved too hot to handle, with a James Magner goal after the three-quarter time siren quashing any chance of a late comeback.

Running out 11.8 (74) to 5.10 (40) winners in what was a lacklustre final term, the Wickers fired a warning shot for all opposition clubs to be wary of.

Nick Hillard was simply sublime for the Wickers in a class display, Luke JellymanTurner’s run off half-back was electric, while Harry Money’s class and goal sense was on dis34 STAR NEWS

play once more with another three majors to take his tally to 46 for the year. Youngster Nick Green - playing just his third senior game - was very impressive, and kicked a nice goal.

Wandin’s tremendous turnaround in 2019 also continued on Saturday against Cranbourne, surging into the top five and displacing the Eagles from fifth spot as a result.

The Dogs and Eagles fought out a fascinating battle at The Kennel, with the home side holding on in a tense final term, 12.20 (92) to 13.11 (89).

In particular, the Dogs surged ahead with an excellent final half, motoring back from 20 points down at the major break to wrestle back momentum thereafter.

Once again, Rohan Heasley was crucial for the home side, while Michael Fowkes, Mark Sandfort and David Barton were all named in the best.

For the Eagles - who continue to battle its own injury concerns - defender Jordan Bertrand was super, while Shaun Marusic’s strong form in the middle continued with another strong game.

The crucial result means that the Dogs move into fifth spot on 28 points, with the Eagles sitting just behind on 26 points as the race for the remaining finals position continues.

The Dogs, in particular, have been com-

pletely dominant on their home deck in 2019, and will fancy their chances when they welcome Narre Warren on Saturday, and with a comfortable run home - including clashes against Upwey Tecoma, Healesville and Olinda Ferny Creek - will be hard to remove from fifth.

Narre Warren, meanwhile, picked up an expected win against Healesville at home, registering a whopping 53 scoring shots, 31.22 (208) to 8.6 (54).

With Michael Collins’ purple-patch up forward continuing with another six majors, and Daniel Jackson also snaring half a dozen, the Magpies were never challenged after opening up a 45-point lead at quarter time.

In the remaining match of the round, Woori Yallock, fought off a fierce challenge from Olinda Ferny Creek to bank a 22-point win, 12.12 (84) to 9.8 (62).

The loss in particular makes the Bloods’ finals hopes even more difficult, now sitting two games behind the Dogs in fifth.

The blockbuster matches simply don’t end in the lead-up to finals, with Narre Warren making the trip to take on Wandin at the Kennel this Saturday- a crucial match in the context of the season.

In Division 1, Pakenham coach Ash Green admitted that it was extremely difficult for his side to go out and play football on the week-

end against Belgrave.

With Pakenham head trainer and hugely popular figure Neil Poulton’s sudden passing throughout the week, Green said the last thing on his club’s mind on the weekend was going out and playing for four points.

“It’s been a tough week - being a young team, it’s impacted them a lot, and all the players to be honest,” he said.

“It was really hard; the boys were really flat in the first half. I pushed them pretty hard to just get them out of that mindset.”

Green said that football took a backwards step through the week in order to come to terms with the tragedy, and that it was obvious that from the outset that his group struggled to get their mind on the game.

“It was our mindset, we missed a lot of tackles early, even the voice and encouragement wasn’t there - we didn’t talk much about Neil in the pre-game, but we spoke about it all a lot on Thursday, and it impacted our preparation a bit,” he said.

“We didn’t prepare really on a football sense this week, it was more making sure the kids were right - footy took a backwards step, but we had a game to play, and we got better in the second half.

“But the bye’s come at a good time - we would have struggled again mentally if we were playing this week.”

The Lions’ football and netball clubs - along with Belgrave - shared a minute silence prior to the game on Saturday to pay tribute to a man who meant a lot to the community, before Green’s second-placed group got the job done comfortably despite some wayward kicking at goal, 16.24 (120) to 3.4 (22). The returning Dermott Yawney proved a handle for the Magpies, while debutant Thomas Gamble kicked three in an impressive performance.

“I’m proud of the guys, they worked really hard, and Belgrave didn’t make it easy for us,” he said of the game.

“We hit the post five times in the first half, and when you kick more points than behinds, it does build a bit of pressure.

“It’s been an emotional week, and I’m proud that the boys got away with a win - we certainly sang the song with plenty of gusto after the game in a bit of tribute to Neil as well.”

In the remaining match of the AFL Outer East Division 1 round, a wayward Monbulk did what it needed to against Warburton Millgrove at home to keep its distance from Pakenham at the top, 11.22 (88) to 5.2 (32). berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au
