Property Lift out

Booze ads harm Casey Council are taking the premier to task to have a greater input with booze outlets to prevent the harm associated with family violence and other alcohol-related issues.

As a result of their meeting on Tuesday 17 September, councillors voted to lobby state ministers for greater controls over liquor retailers applying for a licence.

It comes after the State Government refused a council's proposed planning scheme amendment which sought to provide a policy to limit the number of alcohol outlets going into disadvantaged communities under the Liquor Control Reform Act. Casey deputy mayor Rosalie Crestani successfully raised a motion at council's meeting calling for ministers to consider restricting the "proliferation" of large package liquor outlets, as well as the need for health warnings labels to be placed on booze products.

Cr Crestani said council had taken a lead role with the South East Councils Melbourne Alliance in terms of appropriate placement of large package liquor shops under the Victorian Planning Scheme.

"Family violence is the one that really hits home; it's terrifying," she said. "We have an important role, it's not just our role, and it's all community roles to do something about this alcohol issue. We put ugly pictures on cigarette packages ... why can't we have some control over alcohol advertising?" Cr Crestani said.

A government spokesperson said: "While we appreciate the councils' efforts to address this important issue, it isn't appropriate to do so through a planning scheme amendment."

"We encourage the councils' to revisit this application with a different approach," the spokesperson said.

Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said while council wasn't anti-alcohol it wanted to protect the community when applications were made for liquor shops in low socio-economic areas.

Michael Thorn, chief executive of The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), said "no council has fought harder than the City of Casey" to protect the community from alcohol harm, and to address Victoria's "narrow, inadequate legislation."

Mr Thorn said council's reference to the problem of "proliferation" was important as research showed a 10 per cent increase in off-licence liquor outlets was linked to a 3.3 per cent increase in family violence.

Cancer Council Victoria alcohol policy manager Jane Martin said more hard-hitting campaigns like Drink Less, Live More to ensure people know the reality of the health impacts were needed.

"The big alcohol companies are very good at creating a facade of alcohol as glamorous ... but the reality is quite the opposite. More than just a headache or a hangover the next day, this damage can have very real and long-term devastating consequences," Ms Martin said.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

THREE … ways to prevent hayfever

with author Lia Spencer

What is something people don’t know about you?

Most people who know me knew I grew up in Canada. But many don’t know that the town I grew up in (in Saskatchewan) has temperatures as warm as 35 degrees in the summer and as cold as -45 degrees Celsius in the winter.

What was your most memorable moment?

I would have to say my wedding, the birth of my children and more recently, the launch of my first novel.

1

Avoid drying clothes outside if possible. This will help prevent bringing pollen inside on your freshly washed linen and clothes.

If you’d rather not use the clothes dryer, invest in a clotheshorse and dry your washing inside by the window.

2

Change up your dusting routine.

Try damp dusting regularly with a wet cloth, which will collect dust and pollen, or invest in a vacuum with a HEPA filter and attachments that can be used on all your home’s surfaces.

3

Check the pollen count before you go outside. There are weather apps that will tell you the pollen count. Also try not to go outside until after midday, especially on windy days or after thunderstorms.

What would your last meal be?

My mum’s lasagne or a crayfish.

If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?

Back to Canada! I was just there in August visiting family and friends and no visit is ever long enough.

Favourite movie?

Pretty Woman, A League of Their Own or Love Actually.

Which six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?

I would pick my family, but otherwise I would pick Louis Theroux, Oprah, Lisa Ling, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lady Gaga.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

I don’t embarrass easily, so I can’t think of one.

What’s one thing you love about your job?

I get to meet new people, learn new things and express myself creatively.

Lia Spencer. 197645

What was your first or best concert?

My first concert was when I was about six. My dad took me to Fred Penner who was a children’s entertainer who played the guitar and sang songs.

Editor’s note: We can help Lia out with an embarrassing moment. When she applied for a reporter’s job at Star a few years back, Lia had two envelopes - one with the CV intended to accompany the application, the other with 30-

odd spare copies of the CV. Well, Lia posted the wrong envelope. When we handed back the 29 spare copies at the interview, Lia was pretty red-faced, so we assume that qualifies as an embarrassing moment!

IN BRIEF Woman fights off attacker

Mayor steps out for adults in need

A brave woman fought back against a man wielding a box cutter during a home invasion in Narre Warren on Monday 16 September.

The 23-year-old woman was at her Lassiter Court home with her four-year-old daughter just before 1pm when she was confronted by the man who had entered via a sliding door.

Police say the man, armed with an edged weapon, made demands for the victim's car keys and money. She attempted to fight off the offender and received an injury to her face.

The man then fled from the house.

In a Facebook post, the woman's fiancee Damien Jurss said she repeatedly hit the intruder's knee cap and neck with a steering lock after he slashed her in the face and arm.

"She refused to hand everything over and attacked him back with steering wheel lock until he ran away through the back door," Jurss wrote.

The pair is offering a reward for anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the culprits.

The intruder is described as 30-40 years old, about 183cm tall, medium build, Caucasian, brown eyes, unshaven, wearing a blue DC hoodie, black track pants, black air max Nike's and was wearing a mask covering part of his face.

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

Project 28 aims to address the current shortfall of 28,000 households Australia wide for people living with a disability by building 28 supported accommodation units by 2028.

"This is to make sure adults with disability

have their forever home, that rite of passage," Cr Stapledon said.

"There are people living in rundown motel rooms, boarding houses, hospital rooms and nursing homes. Everywhere I go I see nodding heads of people who know the story I'm telling," she said.

Casey Council looks to change local laws Proposed changes to Casey Council's Community Local Law 2018 could see owners of dilapidated buildings face stricter fines, and permits scrapped to fly a drone on private land.

It comes after a derelict Hampton Park Food Market on Hallam Road was labelled an "eyesore" and "Melbourne worst" but council says it has listened to residents and will take action to ensure similar issues are mitigated into the future.

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said it was essential laws were in place to protect the municipality from unsafe and unsightly buildings.

Under the current Local Laws, she said there were "no controls" from a planning perspective to hold owners accountable for cleaning up their sites, and did "little" to enforce compliance, particularly for commercial premises.

Cr Stapledon added the proposed changes would allow stricter infringement penalties for property owners who fail to rectify dilapidated buildings.

"Buildings in these states are not only a visual eyesore in the community; they can also be attractors for crime and anti-social behav-

Casey Council was frustrated earlier this year that it could not issuing harsher penalties to the owners of the dilapidated Hampton Park Food Market. 190232 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS iour, thereby impacting the real and perceived safety of local communities," Cr Stapledon said.

Council is also proposing to remove the requirement to obtain a permit if residents wish to use a drone on private land. However, there are rules around how and when people can fly

a drone, as set by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

"After engaging with user groups and residents it became clear that CASA already have laws in place to regulate the use of drones on private land, which is why we have listened to stakeholders and are proposing to remove this clause in our Community Local Law," Cr Stapledon said.

"We will continue to liaise with CASA and our residents to ensure drone usage is complying with regulations across our municipality."

Casey Resident and Ratepayers Association president Arvo Talvik said he would support both measures, as they appeared "reasonable and thought out."

A copy of the proposed Community Local Law, and the accompanying Community Impact Statements are available for review, and may be obtained, during office hours at the Casey customer service centres at Bunjil Place or Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre.

These documents are also available on council's website. Submissions are due by 5pm on 4 October and can be made on the Casey Conversations website.

A man pulled from a burning house in Lyndhurst was airlifted to hospital on Monday 16 September.

Five appliances and firefighters from Hallam, Cranbourne, and Hampton Park responded to the fire on Butternut Drive about 2.50pm.

CFA district-eight commander Don Wilkie said a man had suffered cuts to his hands after breaking a window to rescue a man inside.

Firefighters found the man, who suffered burns, on the nature strip and was airlifted to Alfred Hospital.

"They were both residents of the house," Mr Wilkie said.

The blaze was brought under control within half-an-hour.

"Fire crews attended and police were there pretty quick ... they did a really good job putting the fire out, containing it to the one house," he said.

The rear of the house was engulfed in flames, and destroyed: "There is some structural collapse on the roof so it's un-level at the present time," Mr Wilkie said.

"You can look up and see sunlight; fairly significant structural damage to the house."

Police say the "exact circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be determined at this stage."

"Two males were injured, one is being treated for minor injuries the other will be taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries," Victoria Police spokesman Cameron Scott said.

"No one else was injured during the incident," he said.

Firefighters and police were initially called to the home about 1pm earlier in the day after smoke was reportedly issuing from the rear of the property.Mr Wilkie said both incidents were separate.

Men urged: get checked

By Danielle Kutchel Each year, approximately 3500 Australian men die of prostate cancer.

It's estimated to be the second most common cause of death from cancer in Australian men, and more men die of prostate cancer than women die of breast cancer.

But if it is diagnosed early, the chances of curing the disease are higher.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and men at risk of developing the disease are being urged to get tested.

Men over the age of 50, or 40 with a family history of prostate cancer, should speak to their GP about their prostate health.

Age is not the only risk factor of prostate cancer; other factors like genetics, family history, diet and lifestyle can play a role.

Many men feel uncomfortable about getting a "finger exam" done if they voice any concerns to the doctor - but the digital rectal examination (DRE) is no longer recommended as the first test for prostate cancer.

Instead, it's likely that doctors will ask patients to undergo a simple blood test known as the PSA test, which checks whether there is an increase in the prostate specific antigen (PSA). If PSA is found to be elevated, your GP will recommend other tests to confirm a diagnosis of prostate cancer such as a biopsy and a Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It's important to remember that elevated PSA can indicate other prostate problems and doesn't necessarily mean cancer is present.

There are also 29 different types of prostate cancer. Some are harmless and some are ag-

Treatment for each type is different, with surgery just one option. A specialist will be able to advice on treatment options once a diagnosis has been confirmed.

If a patient is unsure about the advice they have been given, getting a second opinion can enable them to learn more about their cancer type and make the best-informed decisions about their treatment.

A variety of supports also exist, providing men and their families with a place to hear experiences, gather information and feel supported on their prostate health journey.

The South Eastern Prostate Cancer Support Group meets at Dandenong RSL at 7.00pm on the third Wednesday of each month. For further information on the group, email southeasternpcsg@gmail.com.

For more information on prostate cancer, visit the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia website, www.pcfa.org.

Tech whizzes share their ideas for Casey’s future

By Brendan Rees Nine teams of tech junkies converged at Berwick's Casey Tech School with only 40 hours to present a project of how to make Casey a smarter city.

As part of Casey's free 'LORA Hackathon' event, the competition saw teams of developers, entrepreneurs, designers, academics and the general community come up with ideas of ways to better harness Casey's LORA (long range) network - one of the biggest wireless networks in Australia.

Held from the 30 August to 1 September, entrants were supplied with access to the LORA network, datasets, hardware, 3D printers, soldering stations and more.

The teams pitched their ideas to a panel of judges who awarded prizes for the most innovative ideas.

The LORA network is designed to enable smart devices to send and receive data without a cost to the community, and is available to everyone. For example people can access apps to remotely turn on and off items such as lights or sprinklers.

To celebrate the launch of the network, members of our The INNovation Crowd, council's bespoke support program for local entrepreneurs and technologists, joined Casey Council officials at Casey Tech School Friday 30 August.

At the opening, Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said she was excited to see so many community members supporting the future of Casey.

"The ideas generated during LORAhack will help us in our endeavour to create Australia's most liveable city," she said.

Team Dory members work on their project idea.

The 'Mayor's Choice' Award was presented to #TEAMDORY, for their solution to reduce social isolation in parents of children with disabilities.

Team Dory member coordinator Jai Mahajan said his team was humbled to receive the award and will pitch their idea to external stakeholders to explore potential pilot programs.

Team #GRAYANGELS won the main prize of $2,000 for their solution, which used advanced sensor technologies to produce clothing to detect the location and falls in the elderly.

New private school plan

By Brendan Rees Designs for a private school in Clyde North to cater for 1200 students have begun.

Clyde Grammar is expected to open its doors in 2022 and will include science, arts, and sports facilities, as well as plenty of space for playground and sporting ovals.

The Prep to Year 12 school, which was announced on Thursday 12 September, will open at Mirvac's new Smith Lane estate - with construction planned to start in 2021.

Mirvac has partnered with CSV Limited who owns the existing Casey Grammar School in Cranbourne East - to deliver the project.

However, Mirvac's residential general manager Elysa Anderson remained tight-lipped about funding as the registration of the school was pending approval.

"It will be a community partnership," Ms Anderson said, adding the estimated cost was not known "at this point."

Architects are drawing up preliminary plans for the school with a preparatory intake of two classes to be temporarily located at Casey Grammar School to begin next year.

The school is a direct response from the community to accommodate Casey's population growth.

"It is in a very strong growth corridor ... and schooling's a very important part to ensure that community's thrives from day one," Ms Anderson said.

"Smiths Lane is one of the largest single landholdings in Melbourne's south-east growth corridor.

"It will be a benchmark neighbourhood for the area, with early delivery of quality amenity and community wellbeing at its heart," she said.

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said the new school would be a welcome addition to Melbourne's south-east suburbs.

Casey deputy mayor Rosalie Cresanti, Mirvac general manager of residential Victoria Elysa Anderson, CSV Limited school board chairwoman Marie Ormandy, Clyde Grammar principal Leanne Evans, and Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon at the announcement.

"Council is actively supporting Casey Grammar through the planning and delivery process," adding it will "offer another exciting learning environment for our children."

Clyde Grammar School principal Leanne Evans, said the school was committed to delivering high quality, affordable education.

"We provide a holistic approach to learning that allows children to realise their potential and achieve ongoing success," Ms Evans said.

The $850 million Smiths Lane estate project is anticipated to have 6,500 residents and about 2,100 homes. It will include an open space, 11 hectares of sporting facilities, walking and bike trails, a cafe, childcare facility, restaurants, and shops.

Earlier this year the State Government announced a Clyde North East Primary School which was set to open in 2020.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On Monday 16 September, a story was shared on the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page about measles cases in Lynbrook. This is how our readers responded online...

Vixx Gribble: Jeez the way the media goes on about it you'd think it was some new exotic disease we'd never seen b4, rather than a mostly harmless virus most of us catch and survive at least once in our lifetime.

What a lot of hysteria over nothing.

Sarah Baker: Vixx Gribble the only reason we don't hear about a lot of deaths from the measles these days is thanks to a little thing called vaccines. The reason the media

is going on about it is because more people aren't getting vaccinated and so there are now more and more cases and it is actually quite serious. People do die from the measles. Be thankful you don't know anyone who did.

Nate Hautapu: bit close for comfort, we were there few weeks ago.

Tinz Law: It's just done the rounds in NZ. Judie Hedrick: Vaccinate, don't believe the anti vaxxers, prevention is better than death - yes death, measles can be deadly!

Community gathers for RU OK lunch "Sometimes just be there to listen - it can make a world of difference to someone."

Hampton Park Uniting Church opens its doors to the public every Thursday for those wanting a meal.

On Thursday 19 September volunteers will be celebrating the footy season with their 'Footy themed lunch' where they encourage people to wear their footy colours.

About 70 people tucked into a tasty lunch put on by the Hampton Park Uniting Church to discuss a life-changing question.

Visitors and volunteers at the church dressed in yellow and asked one another a simple but important question: "Are you OK?" on Thursday 12 September in support of the national day of 'R U OK?'

The day aims for people to check in with others who may be struggling with their mental health.

Volunteer Farrah Buckland said guests made meaningful connections with others over a two-course meal .

"We spoke to them about the importance of asking R U OK? Not just today, but every other day," she said.

Joining in the awareness day were Farrah Buckland, Kathleen Porter, Jo Austin, Diane Leak , Kevin Cogley and Joan Elliott.

Measles alert for Lynbrook Two new cases of measles have been recently diagnosed with public exposure sites in Melbourne including the Lynbrook hotel in Lynbrook.

A woman in her 20s - who was visiting from New Zealand - was diagnosed once she returned home as well as a Melbourne man in his 20s following contact with an earlier known case. He is now recovering at home.

The person was infectious while attending the Lynbrook Hotel on the South Gippsland Highway on Thursday, 12 September from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. The onset of symptoms can last until Monday, 30 September.

People who are planning any overseas travel should ensure they have received vaccinations appropriate to measles-mumpsrubella (MMR) vaccine if they do not have a documented history of two previous MMR vaccinations, Victoria's Chief Health Officer, Dr Brett Sutton said.

Measles is a highly infectious viral disease that can cause serious illness. Those most at risk of serious illness include very young children and adults with weakened immune systems.The illness usually begins with common cold symptoms such as runny nose, red eyes and a cough, followed by fever and rash.

People can develop pneumonia and other serious complications from the disease, and often need to be hospitalised.The characteristic measles rash usually begins 3-7 days after the first symptoms, generally starting on the face and then spreading to the rest of the body.

In 2019 there have now been 36 cases of confirmed measles notified in Victoria. Almost all cases are in people who are not fully immunised against measles, who have either travelled overseas or been in contact with travellers from overseas in Victoria.

She’s our hero

By Brendan Rees Bridget O'Toole has tried to block out the painful memory the day her husband was tragically killed by two stab wounds to the upper chest.

"I've got to be kinder to myself because you torture yourself thinking could've done more," says Mrs O'Toole. "Survivor guilt isn't good."

It was 5pm on 12 July 2013 when a man wielding a 20-centimetre carving knife entered Bridget and Dermot O'Toole's jewellery store in Hastings.

"I thought it was a customer coming in and I just got up to serve him," she said.

However Mrs O'Toole, of Lyndhurst, was attacked by the armed assailant who pushed her into a glass cabinet and stabbed her several times.

"He was screaming like a lunatic," she recalled.

During the attack Mr O'Toole, who suffered from Parkinson's Disease, came out from the workshop to defend his wife and began wrestling with the assailant.

"We were just trying to fight him off ... Dermot was desperately trying to save me."

"Dermot fell over, he tripped over and he turned on him and stabbed him to death," she said.

Mrs O'Toole attempted to pull the offender away from her husband and in doing so she was

further assaulted. The assailant then ran out of the shop.

Mr O'Toole, 64, was fatally wounded and tragically died at the scene.

Mrs O'Toole was taken to hospital where she had to undergo plastic surgery for the extensive serious stab and slash wounds and the glass shards that were embedded in her back.

For her actions, Mrs O'Toole was awarded the 2018 Gold Clarke Medal during a presentation at the Melbourne Town Hall on Thursday 23 August.

For her actions, Mrs O'Toole was awarded the 2018 Gold Clarke Medal during a presentation at the Melbourne Town Hall on Thursday 23 August.

"It was a beautiful day," says Mrs O'Toole. "I was totally humbled and to be deemed worthy of such a prestigious award I couldn't believe it."

The medal is an award of The Royal Humane Society of Australasia and is the Society's highest award for the most outstanding case of bravery.

Mr O'Toole was posthumously awarded the Star of Courage in 2017 - Australia's highest bravery accolades which recognises "acts of conspicuous courage in circumstances of great peril".

The robber, Gavin Perry, 27, was high after taking ice and on parole at the time of the murder.

He was jailed for 27 years in 2014 for the crime.

Mrs O'Toole remembers her husband of 41 years as a wonderful man who was a funny, kind and loyal man."I had the best husband and we had a great life together," she said. "Life has just been horrible since."

In 2016 Moonlit Sanctuary built a breeding facility for the OBP and enables up to 40 birds and their offspring to be quarantined (to prevent disease) and to breed many more birds into the future, releasing them into the wild and monitoring them both in Victoria and their migratory trek to Tasmania.

This information and much more including a Koala Cuddle was experienced in a visit to the sanctuary this week during the Mayor’s Walk for Disability.

Hop-shopper

By Danielle Kutchel Staff at Savers Fountain Gate were forced to leap into action when a kangaroo was found out of bounds in their back room last week.

The wayward roo was discovered on the morning of Wednesday 11 September, and staff held the doors of the room shut to keep it contained.

Wildlife rescuer Sarah Cooke from Wildlife Incident Safe Haven (WISH) received a call to come and pick up the misplaced marsupial.

"My reaction when I got the call from Narre Warren police ... was, 'wait, what, Savers, where the hell did he come from!?'" Ms Cooke said.

She and partner James Rotheram jumped into action and approached the roo - who at this point was hopping mad - to try and put a blanket over his head.

"The biggest challenge was how grumpy he was and just trying to avoid damaging things in the store and making sure he didn't hurt himself on anything," she said.

The rescuers took the kangaroo down to Greencross Vets to flush the toxins from his system and clean some minor scrapes on his paws and arms, before releasing him in Lysterfield Park - far from any potential run-ins with shopping centres.

"How he got there I don't know, someone told me they saw him coming down from past Hungry Jacks so from the freeway side.

"He could have got himself lost then maybe something scared him or a dog could have chased him and he just kept running," Ms Cooke said.

She added that with new housing developments, kangaroos were getting pushed out of their natural homes.

If residents encounter a wild animal in an abnormal situation like the one in Savers, Ms Cooke said they should keep calm.

"Keep your distance and don't make any loud noises, call wildlife rescue straight away, and try to keep your eyes on it if it's not contained," she suggested.

Students sparkle for deb

By Brendan Rees Dressed in dashing suits and glamourous white gowns, students of Cranbourne East's Marnebek School stepped onto the stage for their debutante ball on Friday 13 September.

Eleven couples had nine weeks of learning the Debutante Waltz, Social Jive and Cha Cha. Special guests Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon and horticulture teacher Pete Mantell presented the students with a certificate following their dances.

The group enjoyed the night to remember with student Ashleigh saying the highlight was being partnered with her great friend, Lachlan.

Student Sophie said learning all the dances with dance teacher Sam Baker "was so much fun" while Tyler said he enjoyed making new friendships with the other debutantes.

Teacher and co-ordinator Nicole Dinsdale said: "The students remembered all the dances and all the family members and staff that attended the night were so proud."

Bunjil welcomes author

By Brendan Rees In her new book, author Kylie Kaden explores an intriguing theme: how good people do bad things.

It's an idea that fascinates her and draws on her background in psychology.

"I tend to focus on making my characters believable, so they all tend to have flaws that I pry open in wicked ways and I hope this makes them more relatable," she says.

The Queenslander will be speaking about her new book, The Day the Lies Began, at Bunjil Place library on Thursday 26 September from 7pm to 8.30pm.

Kylie is the author of two previous novels: Losing Kate and Missing You. She holds an honours degree in psychology and works a columnist for My Child Magazine.

As a school leaver, Kylie says being an author never occurred to her as a "real job".

"Real jobs were things you dreaded going to, and I wasn't cocky enough to think I had enough life experience to write a book," she says.

"I've never formally studied the craft of writing. I write by instinct, learn by doing, and books have become my teachers."

As a mother of three, Kylie writes "between episodes when life gets in the way" - whether it be waiting in the car at her son's tennis lessons or plotting scenes while the risotto sticks to the pan.

"Perhaps it's really just procrastination, but I'm a big believer of the writing strategy I like to call the 'drawer' treatment - leaving your half-baked manuscript to ferment for a few weeks at key steps along the way," she says.

Kylie is also inspired by the Queensland coastline; explaining she has fond childhood memories of the hazy, heat filled summer days spent camping on the Sunshine Coast.

"Lago point is fictitious - wanting the free-

Writing is an outlet for Kylie who admits she never set out to publish a book at first: "I simply wrote for the love of it."

"When I thought I had what looked like a novel, I thought someone publishing it would justify the time I spent on it, and allow me to keep writing."

She adds: "I googled the biggest publisher in the world, and thought I'd submit it and 'reject my way down'."

Published by Pantera Press, The Day the Lies Began, marks Kylie's debut in the domestic thriller genre. The story follows a wife and mother, a town cop, a schoolteacher, and local doctor who are caught in their own tangled webs of deceit.

This is Kylie's first visit to Bunjil Place, and while her stay is not long, she's excited.

"As a girl from the burbs in Brisvegas, I take any chance I get to experience the food and shopping on offer in Melbourne.

"I'm also taking part in a Sisters of Crime panel called 'Domestic Noir goes Bush' at The Rising Sun Hotel (in Richmond) on Friday 27 September," she says.

Kylie's talk at Bunjil Place is a free event, but bookings are required. Visit: www.ccl.vic. gov.au/events.

Outdoor fun for bowls club

By Brendan Rees Cranbourne Bowls Club has celebrated its new outdoor area with shade sails, just in time for spring.

Under blue skies, Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon joined club members for the grand opening and to kick-off the new bowls season on Saturday 31 August.

The project was made possible thanks to a $60,581 grant through the State Government's Pick My Project last year.

Club chairman John McKenna said it was a great win for the club which took pride in being a "community club."

He said the new area would hold up to 80 people, and provide sun protection for spectators and players.

Mr McKenna said the club loved running all-ability bowl days, school programs, barefoot bowl events, and more - with the new outdoor area being the perfect spot for people to relax.

"It enhances the whole club because now we have an entertainment area," he said. "It's just opened up the whole club to everybody."

The two new patio areas were named after two dedicated Life Members, Ray Boskell and Shirley Venvillecan.

Mr McKenna said: "Our club is thankful for this great opportunity we have been given."

The club put in $15,000 to finish the project which includes two large water proof shade sails.

Cr Stapledon said she was honoured to open the new facility: "This is a wonderful club ... I was so grateful to be a part of this special day."

A Pearcedale man has been reunited with his dog after it was snatched from his home during a bold daylight burglary.

His owner said he was just so thankful he had been returned but it's feared the dog, a Blue English Staffy, was taken for alleged dog fighting after being found in Hampton East.

Michael Sheppard said he came home from work about 3.30pm to 4pm two weeks ago to find his house on Pearce Court trashed which he says was left unlocked. His Nissan Navara and beloved dog were stolen during the raid.

"All the drawers in my house had been emptied, stuff had been thrown everywhere," he said.

"It's strange, I've got power tools, generators; chainsaws ... didn't touch any of that.

"It's like they were after one thing - it was the paperwork for my dog," he said.

The intruders took all documents proving a three-year-old Bluey was a pure bred as well as veterinary paperwork, Mr Sheppard explained.

"I was more distraught about my daughter ... how do I explain it to a five-year-old that he's gone?" Mr Sheppard said.

According to Mr Sheppard CCTV footage from his neighbour captured men parking their car, believed to be a Mitsubishi Lancer, at the front of the house on Apple Street before walking to his home about 200 metres away.

Mr Sheppard said the bandits returned to the street in his Navara before taking Bluey out

of his car and into the Lancer.

The next day Mr Sheppard received a call from a Vet clinic in Hampton East telling him Bluey had been handed after being identified through his microchip.

He was told a stranger had rescued Bluey after it's suspecting he had been used for illegal dog fighting by the man's neighbour.

Mr Sheppard said it was "very strange" as to how Bluey ended up in Hampton East.

"He somehow managed to get my dog off him ... and handed him into the Vet," he said.

He said luckily Bluey hadn't been harmed and was recovering at home without the need for medication.

"He just had diarrhea. I don't whether it's something they fed. He slept for two days after ... now he's back to normal," he said.

"He's that placid he would have been no good to them in illegal dog fighting."

Mr Sheppard found his stolen car dumped in Eric court in Pearcedale two days after the burglary.

He said he wanted to personally thank the Good Samaritan for handing in his dog, and even offer a reward.

Casey Crime Investigation Unit is investigating.

Terry Ness, head of Inspectorate RSPCA Victoria, said all pet owners were encouraged to take proper precautions when securing their pet in any yard and ensured they were microchipped.

FOCUS ON … MEDICALLY SPEAKING

Boot out heel pain Dr Vincent Wei has started practise at Belgrave Hallam Road Medical Centre.

New doctor in the house A new doctor is in the house at Belgrave Hallam Road Medical Centre.

Dr Vincent Wei (BMedSci (Hons), MD, DCH) started working at the clinic in August.

Dr Wei completed his medical degree at the University of Melbourne in 2015.

After finishing his degree he worked at Goulburn Valley Health in Shepparton for two years before entering general practice.

Dr Wei has a special interest in mental health and children's health.

He is able to consult in Mandarin if needed.

Dr Wei is available to see patients on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9.00am to 5.00pm, and on Thursdays and Fridays from 12.00pm to 8:00pm.

Heel Pain is the most common of all human foot complaints but is also one of the most mismanaged and incorrectly treated. This has left many sufferers spending time and money on treatments without long-term solutions or relief.

But why is such a common problem seemingly so hard to deal with?

“There are two major reasons heel pain treatment can often be ineffective, especially long-term, either only the symptoms are being addressed and not the underlying cause or the doctor does not understand the exact nature and cause of the heel pain condition”, said Dr Paul Dowie, musculoskeletal podiatrist and founder of Foot and Leg Pain Clinics.

Most heel pain is incorrectly assumed to be an inflammatory condition, but it is nearly always a result of nerve impingement or tissue degeneration. Many doctors and practitioners mistaken tissue thickening on scans for inflammation, and therefore incorrectly diagnose the concern. This can be a big problem because treatment for inflammation and degeneration is very different, and even opposing. Treating a degenerative condition with anti-inflammatory treatments can actually cause further tissue

Dr Paul Dowie, musculoskeletal podiatrist and founder of Foot and Leg Pain Clinics damage, making your condition worse.“ Dr. Dowie, has over 20 years’ experience successfully treating heel pain. He is one of Australia’s leading foot, knee and leg pain experts and has treated some of the worlds best athletes.

“If you’re one of the many people who’ve seen multiple practitioners for your heel pain

without long-term results, don’t be disheartened, your heel pain can be fixed. You just need accurate advice and appropriate treatment”.

If you have heel pain, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics have locations across Melbourne, including Berwick, call 1300 328 300. Mention this article for $50 OFF initial consultations.

A team of professionals at Doveton Doveton Medical Centre has been part of the local community for 55 years and now offers a range of services to patients.

Massie, Chanty, Farhana, Chelsea and Masum are ready to help at the Better Health Family Clinic.

Family care When it comes to quality healthcare, Better Health Family Clinic has you covered.

Located at Hampton Park, the fully accredited practice offers a comprehensive range of services in new, state-of-the-art, modern facilities.

With male and female doctors, specialists, radiology and allied health experts, Better Health Family Clinic provides a personalised and caring service for the whole family.

Doctors have a keen interest in chronic disease management, skin cancer diagnosis and removals, travel vaccination and advice, diabetes management and care, men’s and women’s health, family planning and general medical problems.

The medical centre offers specialist services related to respiratory systems and takes a coordinated and holistic approach to the prevention, care and management of respiratory conditions. Their aim is to improve the pre-

Do you find yourself holding the menu or the phone further away? If you are, you are not alone says Lybrook Vision Centre optometrist Dr Priscilla Tricarico.

Dr Tricarico says presbyopia is the loss of focusing ability with close vision. It makes it hard to see things up close. It is when the lens inside the eyes looses its ability to change focus.

“This is a normal change that occurs to us all at a very young age of 40 plus. It causes blurry vision up close and makes seeing your phone, computer, book or any small print harder to see. It causes eye strain, fatigue and headaches that get in the way of your lifestyle.

Dr Tricarico says there are key lens types that cater for presbyopia eyestrain and they can make a massive impact on improving your lifestyle. “The simplest and cheapest is a single vision lens. These only have one focus.

For those over 40 with presbyopia single vision lenses have a major lack of flexibility. They only

offer really close up vision, whereas enhanced reader glasses allow more flexibility.

“The enhanced reader gives you the opportunity to see the computer and look around the office/workspace. Others need a full multifocal lens that has multiple zones. The full multifocal is very useful for general vision, but is usually only needed with people that need glasses for their distance vision as well as close vision.“ Dr Tricarico said lens coatings can also have an affect on vision.

“Most lenses include a scratch resistant coating as a standard. An anti-reflective coating reduces annoying reflections from the lenses. It makes it much clearer to look through the glasses and the glasses look better on you, as others make eye contact without annoying reflections. You can also consider a blue blocking coating on your glasses if you spend many hours in front of a computer.“

FOCUS ON … SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND GETAWAYS

Book in for a relaxing holiday by the river Spring fun at the gardens The Tambo River Tourist Park at Swan Reach is a great place to spend a short break.

Visitors can enjoy scenic drives, visiting the local wineries or fresh fruit farms, cycling the rail trail or taking a bike ride to Metung for coffee.

The bush is beautiful and there are many roads to explore, and the possibility of finding ruins of old quarries, mills or machinery left behind from days gone by is always there.

The river is perfect for kayaks and boats, and fishing is always a popular pastime.

There are plenty of places to enjoy fishing from the bank so a boat is not necessary to hook the best catches.

Tambo River offers powered and unpowered sites. Waste disposal is available at all sites and the usual laundry, camp kitchen and barbecue facilities are on hand.

As more and more travellers are enjoying extended trips with their ‘best friends’, Tambo River is pleased to welcome pets to the park.

The park also offers comfortable and affordable cabins in a variety of sizes. The cabins are popular with families and groups.

Take a holiday at beautiful Swan Reach.

Tambo River welcomes a number of fishing groups during the winter months, and groups of friends and families holidaying together.

The village of Swan Reach has a wellstocked general store with post office and

newsagency, a hotel providing meals and cold beer, and a service station for fuel, mechanical repairs and fishing gear.

Bait, boat repairs and take away food are all available in the neighbourhood.

ENTERTAINMENT

International folk artist A former member of chart-topping folk rock group 'Steeleye Span' is set to appear at the Cranbourne Uniting Church food truck appeal.

International folk legend Ken Nicol will perform on Saturday 28 September at the Cranbourne Uniting Church as part of his Australian tour.

As a guitarist, he is one of the most skilled and exciting players anywhere today.

After establishing himself on the British folk circuit in the seventies Ken headed to Los Angeles where he became an in-demand musician recording with the likes of Al Stewart ('the year of the cat') before returning to the UK in 1989 to focus on his solo material.

Ken has been a member of The Albion Band (led by folk pioneer Ashley Hutchings), Magna Carta, and mainly Steeleye Span.

The concert also features musician and songwriter, Dominic Finley, who will be launching his latest solo album 'Street Writer'.

Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start.

The show will also feature Dominic Finley who is a British musician, novelist, singersongwriter, and former member of the eighties multi-million sellers Cutting Crew (known for their number one hit, 'I Just Died In Your Arms').

All tickets are priced at $25 (including complimentary refreshments) and are available online from: www.trybooking.com/BEJLL (25 per cent of sales will go to the Cranbourne Food Truck).

Alternatively patrons may pay at the door, subject to availability.

Cranbourne Uniting Church is located at 41 Lesdon Avenue, Cranbourne,

Musician Ken Nicol will perform in Cranbourne.

Two days in small screen limbo as plug pulled from TVs

By Brendan Rees A group of residents of Cranbourne East went without some relaxation time in front of their TVs after their reception cut out for 48 hours.

It's believed dozens of homes in the Hunt Club and Cascades on Clyde estates had their Foxtel and free-to-air connection dropout from Saturday afternoon, 14 September.

"It's just terrible," Greg Bain of Hawkeseye Way said, after having to resort to his phone which had internet service.

"Many people have been complaining on

Facebook," he said.

Mr Bain said he called Telstra, which runs Telstra Velocity in the area, an optical-fibre technology network which connects to homes, supplying subscription TV and free-to-air TV. He said he was told the disruption was caused by workers "upgrading the exchange" and was offered $5.49 from Foxtel and $8 from Telstra in compensation.

"It's pretty pathetic," Mr Bain said.

A Telstra spokesman confirmed there was a "minor outage" which impacted 32 customers for 12 minutes on Saturday afternoon, 14

September.

He said the cause was not known and due to the fault being cleared Telstra could not comment further.

Another resident Kaye Smith said she couldn't get any reception at their Hawkeseye Way home until Monday.

"We've got another television which is just free-to-air but we just couldn't get that either," she explained.

"We've had no explanation from Foxtel. We believe someone cut a cable.

"It's a long time for them to get around to

fixing it," she said.

Ms Smith added he and her husband didn't bother calling Telstra but "people are trying to claim compensation from Foxtel - I don't know how that'll go."

Don, of Flash Dan Drive, said he wasn't bothered by the disconnection.

"I just took off to my brother's place to watch the footy," he said.

Don, who asked not to publish his surname, said he was able to still stream Netflix "so it wasn't problem for me."

Runs flowing for Shobit

By Tyler Lewis Opening the batting is a test of not only skill, but also patience.

For Shobit Singh, both characteristics come second nature to him as he leaps into the big time.

Singh moved from India before he could even grasp a cricket bat, but as soon as he could, the runs began to pile up.

“My parents are originally from India, from Punjab,” he said.

“I was born there but came to Australia when I was seven-months-old.

“I started playing cricket when I was 10-years-old, I started playing under-11s when I was 10.

“I started at Narre South and Berwick Springs, in under-11s I started off only getting out once the first year which was pretty surprising.

“We retired on 30 and then in under-13s I think it was 50.

“From there I played under-13s and won the premiership that year, and under 15s as well.”

Singh currently attends Haileybury College, the former home of Australian bowlers James Pattinson and Jon Holland.

Walking the halls of the college and striding out to the middle in the APS system was something Singh always knew would improve him as a player.

“I always wanted to go there, I started Year 7 at Haileybury,” he said.

“Before that I went to Heritage College and was always looking forward to go to a private school, for future plans, to play school cricket.

“It has really good coaches, Brad Hodge is one of our coaches and we also have Shannon Young who is the Monash Tigers coach as well.”

At clubland, Singh plays with Casey-South Melbourne in the Victorian Premier Cricket competition, and over the past few seasons has been a mainstay in the Swans’ fourths and thirds development sides.

With runs flowing thick and fast, the opening batsman will be knocking on the door for spots in higher sides for the Swans to assert himself as more than a junior prodigy.

His appetite to score mountains of runs was showcased last February, when Singh accumulated a monster tally for Victoria.

Singh compiled 320 runs in six matches, breaking the previous record set by Australia’s current limited overs captain Aaron Finch, but Singh wasn’t stopping there, he also broke the highest innings score of 112 when he registered 144 not out.

Despite powering himself into the record books, Singh believes the knock of 144 not out - in which he carried his bat for the full 50 overs - doesn’t sit as his best, as one knock on foreign soil in the green and gold has a special place in his heart.

“It is mixed feelings, honour, pride, bit of pressure as well, nerves, but overall a good

Shobit Singh has been hard at work at Casey-South Melbourne training this pre-season. feeling to represent your country,” he said.

“I always just try to do my best and win the game.

“As an individual - Probably my 107 against Pakistan in Dubai, overseas (is my best).

“Firstly, I was playing overseas against an international opponent and I was most importantly representing my country, which is a big opportunity and is the most special century I have had so far.”

Singh has recently been selected to represent Victoria Country in the under-17 state

tournament, and the youngster said he will follow the mindset of his heroes in order to achieve similar accomplishments.

“My main mindset is to stay out there as long as possible because it is going to get easier as the day progresses,” he said.

“Be mentally strong, not to get caught in my shell and keep playing my shots.

“But mainly to stay there and occupy the crease.

“I idolise Steven Smith, he is my favourite player... Just because of his consistency of

runs, and the way he is mentally strong.

“In the Ashes, even though he got struck, he was just fighting through it and his mental character.

“Long term, I want to represent the senior men’s cricket team, both test and ODI, and to play in the World Cup and win the final for Australia.”

The under-17 tournament will commence in Mackay on 30 September and conclude on 10 October, a tournament that will be crucial for Singh’s aspiration if he can have a similar tournament to his previous for Victoria.

AFL announces a significant grassroots funding boost

By Sports Editor Russell Bennett Community football netball clubs have long been crying out for AFL House to listen to their concerns about the game at the grassroots, and it appears AFL House has been listening.

The AFL has announced it will boost the game at the local level by $18 million from 2020 to 2022, while also waiving the highlypublicised and much-criticised AFL affiliation fee.

That alone is set to save footy regions more than $3.2 million per year over the next three years.

Also announced was $3 million to fund volunteers, while it’s understood the financial burden associated with buying guernseys, socks and shorts from the AFL’s preferred suppliers will also be lessened.

The Herald Sun first reported that the funding would directly benefit more than 840 clubs and about 90,000 players, with the South East, cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Outer East and Gippsland regions set to save more than $450,000, $395,000, and $280,000 respectively each year.

Umpire registration fees are also destined for the scrap heap.

Star News and the Berwick-Pakenham Gazette first broke the story of the sacking of the AFL Gippsland region commission back on 14 May, which kick-started a chain reaction highlighting, in many publications across the country, the unrest that exists within many clubs when it comes to uncertainty surrounding their long-term futures.

That story had wide-ranging ramifications across Victorian football and netball, not just the sports in the Gippsland region.

Former AFL Gippsland commissioner John White spoke to the Gazette on the night of the commission’s sacking, saying the decision “has long-term implications for the direction of football throughout the Gippsland region”.

In regards to the latest developments, he told the Gazette: “It’s nice to have the AFL acknowledge that the volunteers in community football are being heard, and the AFL is listening.

“This contribution they’re making here is a start towards a program of reconstructing community football.

“The additional $3 million to be spent is also a major win, which - if utilised correctly will take a lot of pressure off volunteers.

“I’ll continue to watch and participate in future developments, which will flow from this announcement.”

Clubs throughout the area had started looking closely at their own backyard long before that fateful day in May. They clearly wanted more control of their own destiny. But May the 14th highlighted it.

Then, growing numbers of football and netball people started urging AFL House to hear

the voice of the bush - before, they feel, it’s too late, and irreparable damage has been done.

White set up a Change.org petition calling on AFL House to listen to those at the grassroots level.

He also wrote a letter to AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan calling for a true “community engagement model” in a review into regional and community football.

“Our call for an independent review of the relationship between AFL Victoria and regional, (or) country football and netball is driven by the communities who rely on their clubs in galvanising the hard-working volunteers serving those communities,” it said.

“The cost of administration has risen, the need for volunteers has increased, and yet there remains questionable support from AFL Vic - don’t believe me? Go ask (the) people who toil each weekend trying to keep their clubs active and their heads above water.”

SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - GRAND FINAL For the Doveton Eagles, Saturday afternoon was almost too good to be true.

Not only did the Eagles win the premiership from fourth on the ladder in the Southern Football League’s Division 2, facing a cutthroat final each week - they have jumped from third division to the first in two seasons, courtesy of two premierships in three years.

A grand final fast start is always crucial and the Eagles jumped Springvale Districts from the opening bounce to continue their September dream - leading by four goals at the first interval and, more importantly, keeping the Demons without a major.

The Demons got within three kicks before the main break, but neither side could take its chances in the premiership term.

A final huddle rev-up from Eagles coach Clint Wilson was all they needed to storm home with an emphatic victory.

With eight majors to the final break, the Eagles slammed on 8.2 in the final term to run out clear winners, 16.14 (110) to 5.13 (43).

Adam Read booted three but it was an overall team performance from the Eagles with 12 individual goal kickers for the day.

Cam Carmody was named best afield in an outstanding display for the Eagles as they ran riot over the Demons in the end.

Ex-Melbourne forward Russell Robertson finished his career with a flag in the Eagles’ colours - officially hanging up his high flying boots at the age of 40 after a stellar career, both locally and in the AFL. Ryan ’Spanna’ Hendy - one of the most popular football figures anywhere in the south east - was another to retire on the highest of highs. He started his senior career with the Doves in 1999 as a 16-year-old, and added over 350 games to that tally before retiring as a Doveton Eagles premiership hero.

The town of Doveton could also add another piece of silverware when the club sharing the suburb - the Doveton Doves - takes on Pakenham in the Outer East Division 1 grand final on Sunday.

senior coach Rodney Eade was unable to guide Balwyn into the big dance when his side went down to Blackburn, 16.13 (109) to 10.14 (74).

Balwyn and Blackburn faced off in the qualifying final only two weeks ago where Eade’s side came away comfortable five-goal winners, but remarkably the Panthers turned it around following a win against reigning grand finalist South Croydon in a do-or-die semi-final.

The Panthers will now face the highly-touted Vermont side in the grand final. The reigning premier isn’t shy of the big stage and will look to add another premiership to the cabinet.

MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN DIVISION 1 - GRAND FINAL Dromana went back-to-back, but not quite in the way most expected it to on Sunday.

The Tigers - who were promoted to the MPNFL’s top flight after winning the Division 2 grand final in 2018 - stunned Sorrento in Sunday’s grand final at Frankston Park, holding on late to claim a famous victory, 8.4 (52) to 6.9 (45).

The monster crowd was treated to yet another classic, with yet another underdog side trumping the Sharks on the biggest stage of them all, despite coming into the clash as outsiders.

With the clash even for, essentially, the first half, the Tigers held a one-point lead at both the quarter-time and half-time breaks, with neither side able to get a buffer on the other in perfect conditions.

But it was the Tigers - who are one of the great stories of local football anywhere in 2019 - who rose to the occasion in the third term, kicking three unanswered goals to take the game by the scruff of the neck and surge to a three-goal lead.

The Sharks came hard late as they were always expected to do, but the Tigers, with the crowd well and truly behind them, held on to claim one of the most impressive premierships in recent memory.

On a day where stars shone on every line, Billy Geurts was best afield for the Tigers, while Ben Holmes (three goals) and Sam Fowler (two) were a nuisance all day for the Sorrento defenders.

First quarter blitz seals it

By Nick Creely OUTER EAST FOOTBALL DIVISION 1 AND PREMIER DIVISION REVIEW It took a shrewd coaching move, and a fast start to bring down Monbulk early in Sunday's Division 1 preliminary final.

Pakenham - bouncing back from a disappointing qualifying final loss - got the chance to respond against the Hawks at Beaconsfield's Holm Park, and barely gave the opposition a sniff on the way to booking itself a grand final clash with Doveton, 11.8 (74) to 7.7 (49).

Lions coach Ash Green and his coaching staff made a sharp move from the opening bounce, throwing usual defender Liam Tyrrell - in what has been a breakout season down back - deep forward, and it paid dividends in a stunning patch of football to set the game up.

Tyrrell was in sublime touch, making the most of a dominant Lions midfield that was lowering its eyes and finding pockets of space forward, while the Hawks looked largely rushed with ball-in-hand and found themselves 32 points down, and with a serious mountain to climb to get back into the game.

Despite a valiant fightback in the remaining three quarters, the Lions slowed the game down superbly as the Hawks surged in the driving rain, and were never really threatened despite the Hawks outscoring them after quarter time.

In the Premier Division semi-finals, Beaconsfield was left in a tricky spot with a quarter left to play and a potential straight-sets exit on the cards when Leigh McQuillen addressed his group at the final huddle at AJ Robinson Reserve on Saturday.

Facing up against a tricky opposition in Cranbourne - who has bounced back admirably to really make a splash this finals series after being ravaged by injuries at stages this season - McQuillen knew his Eagles needed to dig deep to advance through to a preliminary final.

And with all to play for after falling to a three-goal deficit in the early stages of the final term, the Eagles found an extra gear, pulling away in a dominant final term to set up a crunch final against Narre Warren this Saturday, 10.18 (78) to 9.9 (63).

With a slight sense of relief and excitement about the growth still left in his group, McQuillen told the News that his players seemed to really relish turning the tables after having their backs against the wall.

"It wasn't ideal, we put ourselves into a tough position but our belief was rock solid," he said.

"We've come back various times this year and don't play to a scoreboard, it's all effort based.

"We constantly reset and focus on what we can control and that's the next quarter. I spoke at three quarter time about 'digging deep' and finding that next gear, and about how much this season means to us and how far we'd come to not leave it here.

"The players were extremely focused and I walked away from that huddle confident they had the fire in the belly to lift."

Not a lot separated the two sides throughout an engrossing contest played on a fast deck, with McQuillen's side holding sway, but only slightly in the first half, taking a sixpoint lead at quarter time and turning it into a 10-point advantage at the main break.

But a mixture of wasting opportunities in front of goal, combined with an inspired Cranbourne unit - who got a lift from its leaders - namely Shaun Marusic, who slotted two goals in the third term, saw the game flip on its head, with Steve O'Brien's side putting the onus back on the favourites by opening up a nine-point lead at the final change.

And it was the perfect start for Cranbourne, with Stephen Depaoli slotting a major in the opening minute of the final term, prompting a much-needed, and season defining response from Beaconsfield.

Needing to hit the scoreboard and take the game on, the Eagles found its mojo, slamming on the next five majors to come away with a grinding win, despite actually registering 10 more scoring shots.

McQuillen admitted that it was a tough day for his side, but was proud that his group were able to maintain the intensity for longer and cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Beaconsfield forward Matthew Johnson (three goals) is congratulated by teammates after a goal on Saturday. 197750 stick to its processes.

"It was a long day in the coaches box as we felt we were in control early without ticking over the scoreboard," he said.

"The boys played to the plan early which gave us every opportunity however Cranbourne's backline stood up well.

"Over the past three games we've had plenty of scoring opportunities however it shows how vital it is to 'finish'.

"To kick five goals to half-time then six goals in the last was exceptional, and just shows when you follow the plan for longer periods of time it pays off."

Berwick, meanwhile, is shooting for a fourth premiership in five years after booking itself a ticket to the big dance on the weekend.

In pristine conditions at Pakenham's Toomuc Reserve, the Wickers juggernaut just rolled on its merry way to beat Narre Warren and secure a fifth grand final appearance in a row, 14.9 (93) to 7.16 (58) Despite Brad Scalzo and Trent Cody's continuous ball winning ability on show in the early stages, the Pies were unable to apply the pressure on the Wickers where it counts, the scoreboard.

With Madi Andrews finding the footy with ease and Lucas Jellyman-Turner in probably the cleanest footy boots seen in 2019 starting to take control, the Pies missed opportunities early in the match and it threatened to haunt Narre's chances of a second finals win in as many weeks.

As the quarter time siren sounded faintly, the Wickers were yet to add a major to the scoreboard with Narre holding most of the possession. Expected to respond, the Wickers bit back and surged with momentum.

While Berwick is notorious for over-running sides that have threatened it in the past, Narre Warren looked hungry and extended its margin again at the main break with both sides adding four majors in an entertaining term.

Though leading by two straight kicks at the main break, the Pies had seven more shots on goal and were instructed by coach Matt Shinners to clean up their ball movement over every interval.

Being tested once more, the Wickers needed their stars to lift - enter Harry Money.

In almost a blink of an eye, Money added his majors and changed the context of the game with his powerful overhead marking

Pakenham ruckman Joe Baker-Thomas stretches to take this grab. 197752 ability and goal sense, leaving everyone in the crowd shaking their head in disbelief as he proves yet again he isn't finished showing his bag of tricks.

If the Money show wasn't enough, an unusually quiet Travis Tuck then climbed into the cloudless sky to bring down a strong contested mark and go back to kick his first major of the afternoon.

With the six goal to one premiership term, the Wickers demonstrated when they are on

song they are 22 herculean figures.

Turning the tables on the match in a halfhour of football had the Wickers shift from trailing by two straight kicks at the half, to leading by three straight kicks at the final interval.

Once Berwick added the first of the last, the task seemed too great for the valiant Magpies, with the Wickers running out comfortable winners.
