Michael Muaremov and wife Merita have been part of the Beaconsfield business community for 20 years. 195046

Town trades on its charm

By Narelle Coulter When Michael Muaremov set up his accounting practice in Beaconsfield 20 years ago, the village was a sleepy country town with little more than a post office, bakery, FoodWorks supermarket, milk bar and a handful of other sundry businesses to service its 3000 residents.

Over those two decades, Beaconsfield has been transformed into a thriving commercial hub with an abundance of cafes, restaurants, two major supermarkets and a host of other retail and service businesses.

While enjoying a lunch of fish and chips in Bob Burgess Reserve with wife Merita recently, Michael started thinking about how much Beaconsfield had changed since 1999.

“When I moved in the town was split between the top end and the other end. There was an old derelict road house that was used by the Baptist Church, a swimming pool and nothing in between. It was very ad hoc."

Michael leased a corner office in the Beaconsfield Fitness Centre complex in Woods Street.

“I had a beautiful corner office and the two windows looked towards Cardinia Creek. Merita and the girls would come and have a picnic

lunch with me by the creek. Beaconsfield felt like a country town and it was.

“I remember I used to walk through the paddock where my current office is ( 34 Old Princes Highway) because it was a shortcut to get to the highway.“ The first people he met were John and Mary Booth who ran the post office.

Other traders who welcomed him to the town back then were Hass and Kitty Patel, the owners of FoodWorks, Bruno and Glenda at the gym and Geoff Hudson who owned a mechanical business.

He later got to know Rohan and Gerald Treasure, owners of Beaconsfield Home Hardware, through the campaign to secure a community bank for Beaconsfield.

Michael says Beaconsfield started to mature as a town when Aldi was built and Andrew Facey developed Beaconsfield Plaza.

“Before then that whole area was paddocks,“ remembered Michael.

And when Safeway opened around a decade ago the tide turned and Beaconsfield started attracting shoppers from neighbouring Berwick.

“That changed things because suddenly a lot of people from Berwick started coming to Beaconsfield to shop, especially the elderly.

The village can be difficult because it’s so hilly.

We also get feedback that the parking is better in Beaconsfield.“ Another landmark in the town’s business development was the opening of Georgio’s Seafood and Steak Italian Restaurant on the Old Princes Highway followed by Slippery Jacks at the Beaconsfield Hub. “When Georgio’s opened that was probably the start of the eateries in Beaconsfield. Before that we had nothing.

“In 20 years we’ve gone from being the poor cousin of Berwick to Berwick people coming to Beaconsfield to shop and dine."

In the early days Michael and other business owners had to go to Berwick for pretty much everything, including their daily banking.

The inconvenience and wasted time made Michael and his follow business group members passionate about securing a bank for the town.

The campaign started in 2007. Two years later the Beaconsfield branch of the Bendigo

Bank opened. On 9 September the bank celebrated its 10 year anniversary.

The push for the bank was a joint effort between the town’s progress association and traders group.

Michael said when the bank opened Beaconsfield was “complete in a way".

“At that point in time we had our retail thanks to Parklea building the plaza, the restaurants were here and the bank was the cream on the cake.“ The business group, which was active between 2006 and 2009, was also instrumental in beatifying the business district.

“One thing I didn’t like when I first came to Beaconsfield was that, apart from the creek, there weren’t enough trees. It wasn’t leafy enough," Michael said.

“To Garry Runge’s credit when he was Cardinia mayor he got the oak trees planted in the median strip.

“I wanted to bring in autumn colour so the business group pushed to get the pear trees planted in front of business. The idea was for the business district to be lined by pear trees which identified our little village.“

We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible

FOCUS ON … BEACONSFIELD AND OFFICER Michael believes Beaconsfield’s village feel, heritage buildings, leafy streetscapes and thriving restaurant and cafes have positioned the town well for future prosperity.

However, he warns that the business community can’t be complacent that the town's future is assured.

He worries that more of the period homes in Woods Street will be demolished for modern office blocks. He is not alone in wanting development to be managed carefully to retain Beaconsfield’s character and charm.

Parking is another issue that could threaten Beaconsfield’s vibility. Michael is leading a push to have a half hour limit on some of the parking spaces near the phenomenally successful Daydreamers Cafe, located in the town’s old milk bar. The popularity of the cafe means the customers of some neighbouring

businesses find it hard park.

“Our biggest concern is that we don’t want Beacy to be dogged by the perception like Berwick is that it is too hard to get car parking.“ Beaconsfield traders are also conscious of the rise of Officer to the East.

“Towns go through their heyday and then decline. We can’t be naive to think it can’t happen to us."

He said small changes, like ripping up the old concrete footpath near Daydreamers and replacing it with exposed aggregate concrete complemented by trees and seating, do make a difference.

“It is important that we secure our position as a town in our own right with our own identity. We are trying to get (Cardinia) councillors to share our passion and see our vision.“

Cardinia Creek is one of Beaconsfield's natural boundaries. 198205

Designs for the future When the sales staff at Timbertop in Officer had two difficult, battle axe blocks at the back of the estate, they turned to Drake Design for help.

The Beaconsfield boutique building design company drafted concepts for what could be achieved on the sites and both sold within weeks.

Providing solutions for customers who want buildings that are unique drives director Jarrett Drake and his team of qualified professionals.

Drake Design’s work can be seen throughout Casey and Cardinia, from high end builds in old Berwick and Upper Beaconsfield to custom designed homes in new estates like Timbertop.

The building design company also handles various projects designing multi-residential developments, childcare centres, aged care facilities, warehouses and custom fitouts.

Principal Jarrett Drake moved to the Beaconsfield area 15 years ago.

He loves Beaconsfield for its marriage of old and new, where the city meets the country.

“It is a constant challenge to make sure the old is protected and not overpowered by the new. The challenge for Beaconsfield moving forward is to make sure it is not all new, somehow we have to keep that quaint country town feel,“ he said.

Drake Design has been at the vanguard of the growing trend among second and third home buyers towards boutique residential design services in the area.

The building design company is experienced in all phases of building design and provides a full range of building services including concept, design development, town planning and construction documents.

Director Jarrett Drake has lived and worked in the Beaconsfield area for 15 years.

The team at Drake Design from left, Stephanie, Cathy, Jake, Jarrett, Ryan, Melissa, Peter, Brad and Danielle. 198045 “More and more people are looking for custom solutions, they want more than a cookie cutter approach. People understand and have a greater appreciation of quality design and want to put their personal stamp on their home,“ he said.

Customers also turned to Drake Design for personal, one on one service.

“The ability to build a connection and rapport with our clients is our point of difference.

I don’t shy away from fact that we aren’t the cheapest and we don’t want to be. People who come to us are prepared to pay for quality design with that personal service.“ He advises anyone building a new home, whether they engage a boutique building design company or not, to think foremost about the building’s use. How will your everyday life by impacted by the building’s orientation and design?

“Making sure living areas aren’t dark all day, thus not being heated by natural night, thus using more energy,“ he said.

“And don’t just think about now, think about the future as well. Think about the aesthetic of your dwelling and how your house will stand the test of time.

“I do get concerned in regards to what is being designed today and its longevity. With our work I want to be able to drive around with my grandchildren and say to them ’I designed that building’.“ Drake Design has more than 100 projects on the go at any one time.

Finding solutions to difficult design issues and assisting home owners to put their individual stamp on a project is at the heart of what Drake Design offers.

“I love design and creating something new and exciting and providing solutions for clients. The best part really is seeing the smile on the client’s face when we help them create their dream.“

New grocery management

Beacy helps

Beaconsfield’s very own organic grocer is under new management - but its commitment to offering the best organic produce remains the same.

Greensoul Organics, conveniently located on Old Princes Highway, caters to the growing market looking for a more sustainable variety of produce. It offers organic produce, pantry, fridge and frozen items. Fresh produce is sourced from local farmers and the Epping Melbourne Market, and all of it is Australiangrown.

Special dietary requirements are well-catered for, including gluten-free, paleo, keto, vegetarian and vegan.

A twice-weekly delivery service is available, with customised produce boxes to suit each family’s needs.

“Our main priority is to provide fresh and premium quality organic produce to our local community,” said Greensoul director Nawleen Mishra.

“We select and handpick the best of the best produce.”

Chemists’ Own has launched its 2019 ‘Help Us Help Our Local Community’ initiative, with 338 pharmacies across Australia rallying together to raise funds for early learning centres in their local communities.

This year Beaconsfield Pharmacy is raising funds for Beaconhill Drive Child Care Centre.

Held annually, this year marks the fifth consecutive year ‘Help Us’ has been rolled out across local pharmacy. Last year, 332 pharmacies participated in the program, raising over $10,000 for local early learning centres.

Help Us Help Our Local Community is a grassroots campaign that raises money through in-store donations and sales of the Chemists’ Own Children’s Range.

Chemists’ spokesperson Stephanie Calapa said the charity drive was designed to "support

Thalia and Ravi at Greensoul Organics. 197574

Megan, Tracey, Sheena, Andrea and Sue encourage customers to donate to help Beaconhill Drive Child Care Centre. 198235

organisations and programs that do meaningful work and play a caring role within communities".

“Early learning centres were an obvious choice to be the beneficiaries of Help Us, in light of all the wonderful work they do in caring for the next generation," Ms Calapa said.

“As a trusted cornerstone in communities, we are delighted to see that so many pharmacies are keen to participate in the initiative and raise funds for their local centres."

As part of the initiative, Chemists’ Own has also released a children’s activity book that has been gifted to over 1,000 early learning centres and participating pharmacies nationally.

The campaign runs between September and December.

Take a walk down Greensoul’s aisles and you’ll also find a range of health and beauty products as well as dietary supplements.

The shelves are fully stocked with ecofriendly products that promote the ethos of reduce, reuse and recycle, making it easy for families to do their bit for the planet.

Ms Mishra says even the owners learn something new every day.

“The shop has helped us create awareness within ourselves about the importance and benefits of organic eating. We keep learning every day.”

Customers with tired feet or passers-by feeling a bit peckish are invited to take a seat at Greensoul’s cafe area, where organic coffee, freshly-squeezed organic juices, smoothies and a selection of sweet and savoury treats are served - keeping you fuelled up, the organic way.

Greensoul Organics is located at Shop 2, 46-50 Old Princes Highway, Beaconsfield and is open Monday to Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 9am-4pm and Sunday 10-3pm. Contact Greensoul on 9796 1650.

Preparing for the future

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

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

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

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

Their classroom is now the world.

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

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

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

Pilot training is on offer at St Margaret's and Berwick Grammar.

Clear Gospel vision shows them the way State-of-the-art facilities, passionate staff, a genuine sense of self-worth and a clear vision based on Gospel values. This is what St Clare’s Primary School in Officer offers.

As a new school which opened in 2015, enrolments at St Clare’s are growing rapidly. As part of the parish of St Patrick’s in Pakenham, the school is on site with the Early Learning Centre and the Officer campus of St Francis Xavier College. For those in the catchment area, this provides a seamless transition from early childhood to secondary education.

Principal Helen Staindl said each learning space had been designed to provide a rich en-

vironment conducive to relevant, meaningful learning.

"Areas are spacious and well-resourced so as to meet the needs of the 21st Century learner," Ms Staindl said.

"Our final stage of classrooms is due to be finished this year which will include a new playground and sports field.

"Before your children even come to school, you, as parents, have taught them so much.

They’ve learned to listen, to ask questions, to be filled with wonder, to say thank-you, to wash their hands, to pick up after themselves and to look out for each other.

"Our job at St Clare’s is to continue these life lessons and nurture the holistic development of each child. For the St Clare’s family, numeracy and literacy skills are core elements of education; but so is Religious Education - developing empathy, social justice and a strong moral compass."

Enrolments are now being accepted for 2021. An Open Day will be held on Saturday 19 October from 10am to 12pm. School tours are also held each Monday morning at 9:15am or by alternative arrangements. Phone to book a tour on 5940 6777 or email enrolments@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au

Learning and play spaces are conducive to relevant, meaningful learning.

A self-employed gardener said he practically brushed past a man pulling a wheelie bin full of alleged stolen goods moments after his Clyde North home was broken into.

Troy Ross said he was left devastated after coming home from work to find his Gelderland Drive home ransacked on Tuesday 17 September.

Intruders stole a laptop, and a safe containing two passports, $260 cash, his birth certificate, and other private documents.

According to Mr Ross, the intruders used a screw driver to pop open a back door between about 11.30am and 12.45pm.

“They took the whole safe because I’m renting they (landlord) didn’t let me bolt it to the wall,” he said.

He said they didn’t touch his PlayStation and iPad but did go through his pantry and oven possibly looking for cash.

“It’s a bit of a setback especially being selfemployed, that’s money for bills and stuff,” he said.

Mr Ross, 32, said he was kicking himself after he had come home earlier in the day to pick up a lawn mower when saw a man dressed as a tradie pulling a wheelie bin he alleges was stuffed with stolen items from his home but thought “nothing of him”.

“He just walked it down the down the street so people would think you’re just a gardener or something,” he said.

“I missed the guy by 30 seconds. Because I was in a rush for work, just went into grab a mower, and didn’t go into the house until later that night,” Mr Ross said.

He found a back door open when he came home about 12.45pm but figured he may have left it opened.

His neighbour had CCTV footage showing a man pulling his wheelie bin, as well as a white ute possibly a new model Isuzu D-Max, used as a getaway car.

Mr Ross later found his bin dumped and

emptied nearby.

“I saw the guy walking down my street with my wheelie bin and didn’t click or anything,” he said.

“I reckon they’ve been watching me because they walked straight in through the back side gate.”

Spare keys to Mitsubishi triton and trailer were also stolen which Mr Ross says he has had to replace the locks, costing him about $900.

“It sucks ... you don’t feel safe in your own place,” he said.

The hardest part is knowing that I looked at the guy and just thought nothing of him.”

The man seen pulling his wheelie bin is described as caucasion, about six foot tall, aged in his early 20s, and wearing a fluro hoodie, dark hat, and work pants.

Casey Crime Investigation Unit is investigating. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

IN BRIEF Two arrested in stolen car

Horse cruelty

By Mitchell Clarke A Cranbourne South woman has been banned from owning horses for three years after she was charged with four counts of animal cruelty.

Jessica Louise Davis was also hit with a $3000 fine after her negligence resulted in the death of one retired thoroughbred horse and the seizure of another.

Between 1 July and 1 August last year, the 30-year-old failed to feed a 16 year old mare named Molly and a 15 year old gelding named Loco.

The sick and starved horses were also denied adequate vet care, resulting in the death of Molly and Loco being surrendered to the RSPCA. The court heard Ms Davis was unable to attend the Dandenong Magistrates Court due to

mental health issues.

Magistrate Leonard Brear revealed she sent “quite a moving” letter, but wouldn’t elaborate on the contents of that letter, refusing media applications to access detailed information and images from the case.

Davis pleaded for a fine of $1500 but that was rejected by the Magistrate who said it wouldn’t reflect the severity of the charges.

But she walked away without a conviction and managed to avoid a 12-month jail sentence or a fine of around $40,000, with the court taking into account she had no relevant priors.

Star News Group understands this is one of several equine related cases currently being investigated across the state by RSPCA Victoria.

In the 18/19 financial year, there were 10,601 reports to the Victorian Inspectorate re-

garding horses - a 21 percent increase from the previous year.

Almost 70 percent of all horse reports related to underweight animals, insufficient feed or insufficient water.

Outside court, an RSPCA spokesperson said the outcome of this case should act as a general and specific deterrence to animal cruelty offenders.

“We stress that owners need to provide adequate food for their answers, and where this is not possible they should surrender to RSPCA Victoria or another animal rescue, or responsibly sell or re-home.

“Anyone who has concerns about the welfare of an animal is encouraged to make a report to our Inspectorate via our website at www.rspcavic.org/report or by calling us on 9224 2222.”

Police have arrested two people in an allegedly stolen car in Berwick on Thursday 19 September.

Police observed the stolen car near the intersection of Jacksons Road and Silverton Drive, Noble Park about 11.30pm.

Officers followed the vehicle for a short time before deploying tyre deflation devices, police say.

The car came to a stop on the Monash Freeway, near the Clyde Road overpass, Berwick where police arrested two people.

A 21-year-old man from Hampton Park has been charged with a number of theft offences and evade police.

He has been remanded in custody.

A 25-year-old woman from Noble Park has been charged with theft offences.

She has been remanded and will appear in court at a later date.

Roaring to go for Grand Final glory

By Brendan Rees

Dave, who has a Richmond-themed Jesus tattoo on top of his head, says he's "gone over the top" with spending "thousands" on Richmond memorabilia including player jumpers from the 2017 Grand Final.

He says he's "cocky" about Richmond winning the flag: "We were very unlucky we weren't minor premiers ... in a roundabout way it's first playing sixth.

Darryl Johanning is daring to dream a return of a premiership cup for his beloved tigers.

The diehard Richmond fan of Narre Warren South is ready to roar at this Saturday's Grand Final.

And he has secured a ticket the biggest game in town with a "little bit of luck".

"We're up and about ... all we've got to do is win one more and we've got it," he said.

Darryl's passion for tigers includes his own three-car garage 'man cave' filled with everything Richmond - where there is not enough space to park a car.

Meanwhile, Richmond fanatic Dave Coppin of Narre Warren South has his hopes for a 2017 repeat.

A man in his 40s has been taken to the Alfred Hospital following a serious crash in Harkaway on Friday 20 September.

Police say the man collided with a power pole on Harkaway Road about 10.20am.

A CFA spokeswoman said high voltage cables were strewn on the ground.

Fire crews had to isolate the scene to ensure the safety of road users until the arrival of a power company.The spokeswoman said the man was pulled from his car by a passer-by.

Paramedics treated the man who had a serious leg injury.

Police are investigating.

Meals are prepared as per the menu of the day. preparation starts sharp at three o'clock in the afternoon. it takes nearly two hours to prepare the meal and then these freshly cooked meals are loaded into food van oven for distribution. At any given time a team of nearly 20 to 30 volunteers are working on this project to keep it running and all this for Wellbeing of society.

What do you love most about being a volunteer?

Being a volunteer gives a sense of satisfaction, a feeling that creates belonging and connection within society. Being a Sikh it’s one of my duty to share whatever I had with the society I am leaving in and give back to the community as much its possible for me. Working as a volunteer helps me in fulfilling my duty towards society.

Has the community been quite supportive in providing grants to keep the van running?

Untll 2017, the organisation was fully independent and was self-funded. Even the food truck was purchased by donation contributed by volunteers out of their pocket but after that Sikh volunteers, Australia is been awarded a few grants like Pick My Project, Holt Grants for stronger community and Westfield hero grant. All these grants had helped the organisation in up keeping the high-quality standards of service and serve the community

What’s your favourite holiday spot in Australia?

I have been in Australia for last five years and except Victoria I haven’t t visited much of it.

Mount Buller, Great Ocean Road, Philip Island, Arthus Seat, Lake Entrance and Buchan Caves are few of Victorian sites I had visited and out of them, Mount Buller is my favourite.

What is your favourite book?

During early days in my college life, I was quite impressed with a book from Shive Khera (an Indian author of self-help books and an activist) named as “You Can Win “ but latterly I realised it’s not winning, but balance in life that gives inner peace. I am found of history books, philosophy and religious books.

At school I....

Was an average child, who loves to hang out with friends. Since from childhood I had a keen interest in maths and drawing which later turns in to my desire to be a mechanical engineer. In schools days I participate a lot in debate and quiz competitions don’t ask me why...

What’s your favourite movie?

Mel Gibson’s movie Braveheart and The Patriot are my Favourite movies. Apart from that recently release World War II series in colour had also caught my interest.

What’s something people don’t know about you?

I don’t know, I am an open book.

If you were Prime Minister for a day, what would you do?

I would promote made in Australia and will

Police, community engage with youth

By Brendan Rees A new program will see community leaders work with Victoria Police to engage with young people at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre.

Members of the South Sudanese and Pacific Islander communities will join police in proactive patrols at the shopping cente to help build relationships with young people.

Police from Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia launched the Community Leaders Outreach initiative at Fountain Gate on Thursday 19 September.

Leaders from Afri Aus Care, a charity based in Dandenong, and volunteers from Casey

ADRA Cafe, a group helping people in need, have backed the initiative.

Acting Superintendent Sharon McCrory said the aim was to engage with young people in the community, identify issues and opportunities, and build relationships.

"The patrols will be community led however the leaders taking part will have the support of police who are rostered on at that time," acting Supt McCrory said.

"Police from the Multicultural Liaison Unit have been working hard with stakeholders to set up these patrols and look forward to seeing some positive outcomes going forward."

Casey ADRA Cafe spokeswoman Beata Stednik said volunteers were pleased to support Victoria Police "to support a socially inclusive space for all youth to enjoy."

"Part of the outreach includes a community bus whereby youth can receive further support if required from a counsellor," she said.

Casey ADRA cafe, which provides hundreds of meals to people in need across Casey, will be holding a 'street barbeque and grill out' fundraiser on Sunday 29 September from 4pm6.30pm at 4 Malcom court, Narre Warren.

There will be face painting, live music and a car wash. Highway collectors will be out from 19-20 October for their annual ADRA appeal.

Walk helps to bridge the housing gap

By Danielle Kutchel Excited participants from The Bridge Connects in Berwick have helped Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon to complete her Walk for Disability.

On Thursday 19 September participants from The Bridge joined Cr Stapledon as she walked through Berwick.

The Bridge raised $275 for Cr Stapledon's cause through an in-house sausage sizzle.

Cindy Warren, Transition to Employment manager at The Bridge Employment, said Cr Stapledon greeted each participant with a hug.

"She took the time to get to know each of them individually by name, asking them what their work goals are and personal interests.

"The guys were so excited ... she was kind of a rockstar!"

Lucky Lamprell, who lives in Noble Park,

Participants from The Bridge in Berwick were excited to be part of the Mayor's Walk for Disability. 198354 said she was excited to join the mayor and see some of the sights of the City of Casey.

As a participant in The Bridge's Jobs Now program, she is working to develop her employment skills and independence.

Similarly, Shourav Sharif said he was look-

ing forward to the walk and felt that The Bridge had helped him to become independent.

The Bridge was one of 43 community organisations that Cr Stapledon visited during her walk.

Cr Stapledon clocked up around 120 kilometres over the nine day walk, which raised funds for the Wolfdene Foundation's Project 28 initiative.

Project 28 seeks to address the shortfall of over 28,000 households Australia wide for people living with a disability who are still in the care of their ageing parents or carers. It aims to create 28 supported accommodation units by 2028 to give those residents their 'forever home', and the peace of mind that comes with that.

Some of the developments for Project 28 will be in the City of Casey.

THE CARPET CENTRE SUPERSTORE

A man was taken to Casey Hospital after a car rollover on the Monash Freeway on Monday 23 September.

The two-car collision occurred about 5.20pm near Ernst Wanke Road in Narre Warren.

Ambulance Victoria said paramedics were called just after 5pm and treated two men for minor injuries.

"One man, aged in his 50s, was taken to Casey Hospital in a stable condition. The other man, aged in his 40s, was taken to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition," an ambulance spokesperson said.

Traffic was brought to a standstill with two outbound lanes closed until 6pm.

In a post on Victoria Police's Casey Eyewatch page, it said Casey Highway Patrol attended the collision and it's "believed a medical episode has caused the driver to collide with another vehicle."

The post stated while police were directing traffic at the scene, "they were appalled by the number of drivers that were using their phones to film and take photographs of the collision."

"Although traffic was at walking pace, it's still not cool and against the law to use your phone while driving," the post read.

Police attend the scene of the crash in Narre Warren.

Every dog has their say Thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide information on our recent application to City of Casey to change our training times, which gave rise to an article in the Star News on 3 September.

The Berwick Obedience Dog Club (BODC) is a not for profit club that works with the City of Casey, Dogs Victoria and the community to ensure that dog owners are aware of their responsibilities and have obedient well behaved canine members of the community.

The Club was set up by residents to provide training and education to the local community in responsible dog ownership in 1980 and this is still its mission today.

The club operates on Saturdays from 11.30am to 4pm. It does not operate on Sundays.

The application made to the City of Casey requested an extension of training hours during the daylight savings period (commencing second Saturday in October through to first Saturday in April) only.

There is no request to conduct building works or extensions however we can confirm that the committee is reviewing minor upgrades that would assist in car park safety and presentation (e.g. asphalting and line marking the car park) which the club will consult with the council and obtain appropriate approval.

With growing membership, the club ensures there is sufficient car parking. There is time between sessions which allow ‘change over’ and continuously communicate to all members not to park on McKenzie Lane as not to disrupt or cause resident access issues.

The club has also found that on Saturdays when the Narre Warren North Football Club are

playing at home there is a significant issue of “visitors” vehicles being parked up and down the neighbouring streets. We were advised by the football club president that this is because they are unwilling to pay the $10 parking fee to park in the Football Club car park. The club supports the residents in requesting that the City of Casey enforce the parking restrictions in McKenzie Lane.

The reason for the request of training time amendment is to provide members the opportunity to train prior to temperatures reaching too hot and unsafe for dogs and humans to train in the open. Our heat policy states that if it is forecast to be 32 degrees or above in Scoresby at 6.00pm Friday evening, training is cancelled.

This means in effect that on Saturday mornings, in the hotter months, training times would potentially commence at 9am and con-

clude by 1pm on the days where it is forecast to be too hot. The club currently runs from 12:30 to 4.30pm on Saturday afternoons.

I would like to highlight that there is no plan to increase the length of the training times - it would remain at four hours.

We are keen and very happy to work with City of Casey and our neighbours to ensure we work together to provide this vital community service with minimal impact on the environment and our neighbours. We would be more than happy to meet with residents and the City of Casey to discuss our plans and answer any questions.

On Tuesday 24 September, a story was shared on the Berwick Star News Facebook page about Casey council hoping to light up Bunjil Place to celebrate the 550th birthday anniversary of Sikh faith founder Guru Nanak. This is how our readers responded online...

Jacinta Parkinson: I love this. The Sikh's do so much in our community; we should celebrate along with them. They are a big part of our community, and we are a big part of theirs.

Jennie Range: I have no problem them doing this as long as it's done for all religions not just one and not like a kinder my child went to who had Tibetan pray flags hanging around but would not celebrate Easter. You do one you do all. Let everyone learn about them all. Doesn't mean one is better than the other. It's interesting to learn about other religions being a multicultural country. Doesn't mean we have to follow any but can learn.

Mayor on the march After walking 120km across the municipality, Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon completed her Mayor’s Walk for Disability on Sunday.

It was with an overwhelming feeling of emotion as Cr Stapledon walked through the gates of Myuna Farm, following the nine-day event.

Close to $30,000 was raised through the event, with all proceeds being donating to the Wolfdene Foundation’s Project 28 initiative.

Project 28 will see the construction of supported accommodation units for people in Casey who live with a disability and are still in the care of their ageing parents or carers or unsuitable accommodation such as boarding houses, motel rooms, hospital beds and aged care facilities.

The initiative will also address a current shortfall of 28,000 households Australia wide for people living with a disability and strives to achieve 28 supported accommodation units by the year 2028.

Cr Stapledon said she could not thank everyone enough who participated and donated generously.

“I would like to sincerely thank the residents of Casey, community groups and local businesses for hosting me and cheering me along the way, for your morning and afternoon teas, coffees and donations - I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Cr Stapledon said.

“While I set out to raise both funds and awareness for Project 28, it was also important to shine a spotlight on the amazing community groups we have in Casey, particularly local disability agencies.

“I believe that every person, no matter what their ability, should have the right of passage to leave home and to live in their ‘forever’ home that is safe, homely and a place to live their best life. I also believe that we should be giving comfort to their carers that when they are no longer with us, their adult child is well cared for”.

Jonathan Atchison, Director of the Wolfdene Foundation, said as a major developer of land in Casey, they saw Project 28 as a wonderful opportunity to help alleviate some of the challenges and pressure faced by local families.

“Through Project 28, we can provide somewhere for adults with a disability to live that is comfortable and supported, and close enough to their families so they can have easy and regular contact,” he said.

During the nine days, Cr Stapledon visited more than 45 local community groups and walked from all ends of the city, including Lynbrook, Endeavour Hills, Tooradin and Narre Warren.

Throughout her campaign, Cr Stapledon met Christine Ritchie, whose 82-year-old father Anton is the main carer for her 43-year-old brother, Anthony, who has a severe intellectual disability and was also recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.

Cr Stapledon said these families are an example of why she is putting so much time and effort into fundraising for this cause, because, as Christine said, ‘these supported accommodation units would be an ideal outcome for

A beautiful setting for vows

By Danielle Kutchel When couples dream of their wedding day, they don't usually picture the cold, plain interior of the registry office.

But those planning a 'legals-only' ceremony don't have to miss out on a memorable venue.

Located in the south-eastern suburbs in the heart of old Berwick celebrant Kelly Della Bosca, alongside the tasteful eye of Renee from La Moda, have designed a quaint, stylish outdoor/indoor ceremony that can accommodate small, intimate ceremonies.

Motivated by a desire to create a space that couples would feel "welcomed, inspired and excited to get married in", Kelly is offering a stunning setting to perform stress-free legalsonly ceremonies. It's also an affordable space, filling a gap in the competitive wedding market.

Organising a wedding can be a daunting and stressful task for some, and Kelly felt that this needed to change.

"Not every couple is after a large wedding experience. It can get very expensive, or others may only need a legal ceremony before heading overseas for their dream wedding with family and friends," she says.

Outside of the home, for weddings large and small, Kelly also has extensive experience handling ceremonies in a wide range of venues. From Traralgon to Ballarat, from the beating heart of Melbourne's centre to the vistas of Mount Dandenong, Kelly is fully committed to producing a ceremony of the highest quality and professionalism.

A five-star rating award from Easy Weddings and a place in the top 15 celebrants of Victoria at the Australian Bridal Industry Awards 2019 are a testament to this.

As a civil celebrant, she is able to officiate ceremonies for couples from different cultures and religions in a showcase of their personal love story.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not only is the former Noble Park champion blessed with an incredible squad, but he's a forward thinker, a modern day coach with an incredible tactical nous.

The foundations are set, and as the club embarks on a new era in AFL Outer East, it seems the Wickers show no signs of slowing down.

Petrol price point of pain

By Brendan Rees Petrol prices have gone through the roof around Casey following a recent drone attack on Saudi Arabia's oil processing plant.

Prices hit as high as 171.9 cents a litre in Berwick and Cranbourne - reaching a three month high in the past week.

It's estimated that about half of Saudi Arabia's oil output has been affected by the attack and subsequent fires, according to CommSec's Craig James.

"Whether today's spike in the oil price is sustained will depend on the advice of Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia's oil company)," Mr James said.

Among the highest unleaded prices revealed on Petrolspy.com on Thursday 19 September was Woolworth Caltex on the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne at 171.9c a litre.

This is despite United Cranbourne on the corner of High Street and Clarendon Street - about 4km away from Woolworth Caltex advertising a 44 cent difference with 127.7c a litre.

A 171.9c a litre was also recorded at BP Cranbourne North on Cranbourne - Narre Warren Road, Coles Express Cranbourne North on the South Gippsland Highway, and Coles Express at Fountain Gate BP Berwick on Clyde Road was not fairer much better at 167.9c a litre.

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack on Saudi Arabia on Saturday 14 September.

"A range of options available to ensure

any short-term production disruption can be made up from other global sources across OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and non-OPEC nations," Mr James said.

Mr James said although motorists are paying slightly less than this time last year, they "should get used to pump prices hovering around $1.40 to $1.50 a litre."

RACV vehicle engineering manager Michael Case advised motorists to shop around for cheap fuel, otherwise just top up.

"The length of any price cycle is difficult to predict accurately," he said.

"As a general rule, if wholesale prices are going up, the discount phase of the cycle will be shorter. If it is going down the discount phase will be longer.

"At present the wholesale price is trending slightly upwards. The typical length for a price cycle, with a stable wholesale price, is approximately three weeks," Mr Case said.

The RACV website listed Melbourne's average unleaded fuel price on Thursday 19 September as 147.4c a litre with the highest listed as 171.9c a litre.

According to the Australian Institute of Petroleum, the national average price of unleaded petrol rose by 3.4 cents in the past week to 143.6 cents a litre.

PROPERTY NEWS

TIMBERTOP A UDIA RESIDENTIAL FINALIST PARKLEA has been named as a finalist in the 2019 Victorian UDIA Awards for Excellence with the jewel in its development portfolio, Timbertop, nominated for Best Residential Development.

Parklea had a vision for Timbertop as far back as 2002 when it purchased land in Officer from the Hicks family who had farmed there since the 1800s.

When work started in 2012, Timbertop was one of the first estates to open up the now thriving corridor between Berwick and Pakenham for residential development.

Thanks to careful planning and with the liveability of future residents in mind at every step, Timbertop is a prime example of what can be achieved by a developer who is invested in quality and cares about its legacy.

Now, seven years later, the 80-hectare estate is nearly complete with more than 700 homesites and 2,000 people enjoying life at the top.

The estate’s final releases have created enormous interest, with buyers keen to snap up the last blocks in the premium Chateau release and the Timbertop East release situated around the estate’s picturesque wetlands.

The Chateau release features a wide selection of lot sizes, including generous blocks ranging from 630m2 to 1,049m2.

Situated at the high point of the estate, The Chateau release offers sweeping views of Officer across to Westernport Bay in the distance.

In contrast, the Timbertop East release affords residents water views across the wetlands. Timbertop East blocks range from 230m2 to 585m2 offering residents choice when it comes to building their dream home.

The 2.5-hectare wetlands are one of three significant open spaces within Timbertop, along with the 2 hectare Hicks Reserve and the 1-hectare Timbertop West Reserve.

Timbertop’s popularity with buyers is understandable when you consider its peaceful country setting surrounded by all the essential services needed by a growing community.

Timbertop has its own cafe, which has become a favourite meeting place for friends, family and neighbours wanting to catch up over lunch or coffee. The cafe was created using the original sales office and is run by a local couple who say they love living and working in Timbertop.

Timbertop also has its own childcare centre, while the area is serviced by a plethora of quality government and private schools.

Transport links are well developed with access to buses, trains and connection to the CBD via the Princes Highway.

Timbertop has completely transformed the once tiny hamlet of Officer. Now residents have at their doorstep an established shopping centre, fuel outlet and speciality stores.

Wine lovers don’t have to go far to enjoy a glass of locally produced vino and a tasting platter at D’Angelo Estate Vineyard.

Berwick, with its quaint village feel, is only a 10-minute drive from Timbertop, while a short drive north and you start climbing into the beautiful Dandenong Ranges.

Parklea Sales and Marketing Manager Jarod Mills said it was Timbertop’s “serene yet convenient lifestyle“ which set it apart and has helped produce exceptional sales results throughout the life of the project.

“Residents quickly fall in love with life at Timbertop. We have a varied community at Timbertop with residents keen to connect with their neighbours. People are searching for a community where they belong and at Timbertop we believe that is just what we have a created - a community where everyone feels at home.“ Mr Mills said Parklea had worked proactively to create a safe, engaged and connected community at Timbertop.

A residents group was convened early in the life of the estate. The group now operates independently, with a strong, growing membership.

Other initiatives include providing residents with free exercise classes,

the establishment of a mixed netball team, welcome nights for new residents, community events, including Carols By Candlelight at Christmas, and strong links with Neighbourhood Watch and local police.

Environmental sustainability has been one of Timbertop's guiding principles.

Parklea has provided sustainability group SECCA with dedicated space within the Timbertop Land Sales Office to promote its Home Energy Advisory Service.

Parklea also partnered with builder SJD Homes to construct one of Victoria's first

zero net carbon homes at Timbertop.

Mr Mills said the entire team at Parklea was honoured by the UDIA's recognition of what they had achieved at Timbertop.

"Timbertop was designed to be a premium community for first and subsequent home buyers. The Facey family, owners of Parklea, have a long history in the South East and wanted to make this terrific region accessible to other families who also want to put down roots in an estate that they know will only continue to get better as it matures." ● 12428196-CG40-19

Cancer call to arms

By Danielle Kutchel Actor-turned-activist Samuel Johnson has delivered an emotional call to arms at the final Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast for the year.

The self-described “Head of Cancer Vanquishment” at charity Love Your Sister addressed a packed crowd at the Cardinia Cultural Centre on Wednesday 25 September.

Mr Johnson shot to fame in 2013 when he completed a year-long record-breaking unicycle ride around Australia to raise funds for breast cancer research following his sister Connie’s diagnosis with terminal cancer.

While it isn’t usually the sort of subject discussed over breakfast, Mr Johnson managed to humanise the Big C and provide some subtle lessons on the art of campaign organisation and management to the assembled business representatives.

Yet it was also a call to arms, with Mr Johnson detailing the next stage of his anti-cancer journey and imploring the audience to help “F*** cancer”.

He had paused a tour of Australia, on which he is meeting politicians, families, schools and organisations as he spreads the message of personalised treatment, to fly to Melbourne for the breakfast.

He spoke at length about the need for personalised treatment for the insidious disease, which could potentially save more lives by using genetic sequencing of cancer samples to target the best treatment.

Genetic sequencing is not currently widely available in Australia, he said, with many cancer sufferers forking out thousands to have their tumours tested in an American laboratory.

Mr Johnson, who told the crowd he is now “in the business of raising money for charity”, is hoping to raise $20 million for personalised treatment by December next year, when he

will call on the Federal health minister to front up with more Federal funding.

One by one, members of the audience stood to thank Mr Johnson for his advocacy and fundraising work, and to share personal stories of their own brushes with cancer.

Mandy Pertzel was one of those. She had attended the breakfast with a friend and felt compelled to share her story with the room as “living proof” of what Mr Johnson was talking about.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 and undergoing treatment, her cancer returned in 2012 at a stage four level. Her liver was riddled with tumours, and her ribs had been eaten away by cancer.

“I thought my world fell apart the first time, but it was nothing on the second time.

“To be told ... you’ve got 24 to 30 months optimistically but you are going to die from this ... your world crashes down.”

She was lucky enough to have a friend in the industry who arranged for genetic testing of her tumour, which was analysed in the US. “We actually questioned why don’t we have it hear, and the government just doesn’t fund it is what we were told,” she explained.

But she knows others who were not so fortunate and endured a trial and error process of cancer treatments, some of which didn’t work.

She doesn’t know how long she has left, but for now, her medication is working. If it ever stops working the genetic testing has provided her with an arsenal of other possible treatments - her next line of defence.

“I know at some point the cancer will get me because that’s what cancer does. At some point it outsmarts the treatment and you’ve got to then find the next treatment that will work.

“I got lucky because we found the drug that would probably work for me and it has. So many women have not had that opportunity,” Ms Pertzel said.

Cardinia Shire mayor Graeme Moore was among the attendees. 197755

The crowd was enthralled. 197755

Art via adversity

By Brendan Rees Toni Arfaras suffered her first stroke in 2013, aged 46. This was followed by three minor strokes - leaving her unable to work and reliant on others to get around.

But the former teacher, who is a long-time artist, hopes her story will inspire others in life as she prepares to exhibit two pieces at a Hampton Park art show in October.

"When people first meet me they often don't believe that I've had multiple strokes as my disabilities aren't visible," the Narre Warren North resident says.

Through pencil art, Toni says she has a sense of achievement and while showcasing her work at the art show may be "nerve-racking," she says it's also "quite exciting."

"I worked on my Lace Monitor for a year, which was a mix of time at my art lessons and time at home, while my Rosella took about six months," she says.

Drawing wildlife has been her passion since she was a teenager and always has her camera handy when bush walking to take photos of different creatures, giving her inspiration for her next drawing.

She partakes in weekly art lessons with renowned wildlife artist Janet Matthews, whose work also gives her inspiration: "Janet is so encouraging and supportive."

"While I might think my chosen subject is going to be too challenging Janet makes me realise it's actually an opportunity to learn a new technique."

Absolute Care and Health will present the Hampton Park art exhibition "Inspiring Art: Artistic Melburnians" from Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd October. Exhibiting artists have experienced adversity through illness, injury, disability or other significant life events.

The event will be held from 10am to 2pm at the Uniting Place, 1 Coral Drive.

Police hope to identify this man.

Police hope CCTV images of a man may be able to assist with their enquiries after bank cards were stolen from the cars and used in Narre Warren.

Police believe an unknown person broke into multiple cars in Hanleath Avenue in Springvale on 1 September.

The cards were also used on the same day at service stations at service stations in Narre Warren, Clayton South, Keysborough, Dandenong, Doveton, and a shopping complex in Narre Warren.

He is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, about 25 to 35-year-old, with a medium build, brown hair, and a number of distinctive tattoos to his right elbow, right and left forearm, and right and left hand side of his neck.

The man was also pictured with another unknown man travelling in a silver Holden Commodore sedan displaying false plates, police say.

A moment stapled in time

By Nick Creely It was a moment that will go down in Doveton folklore - a piece of magic that capped off a remarkable afternoon at the Woori Yallock Recreation Reserve on Sunday.

And it was only fitting that this moment - one that sealed one of the most famous local football premierships of recent memory came from the Doves’ inspirational, beloved, skipper, Matthew Stapleton.

In an absorbing contest - one with rapid momentum-swings - Stapleton kicked one of the most clutch goals imaginable with just minutes on the clock in the final term, and with his side just three points up on a surging Pakenham in the AFL Outer East Division 1 decider.

It was a moment reminiscent of the famous goal kicked in the dying moments of the 2018 AFL grand final between Collingwood and West Coast, with Stapleton, tucked deep into the pocket 45 metres out, launching it straight through the middle of the big sticks to all but assure that silverware would be heading to AJ Robinson Reserve for the first time since 2005.

“The crowd was actually cheering me on to put it through, so I was lucky it wasn’t in the other pocket - I just punched it in and went through the big ones,” he said of the moment with a massive grin on his face.

“I knew that I had to punch in, and to be honest I thought about last year’s AFL grand final with Dom Sheed taking a similar shot in the pocket, so that was what going through my head.”

But it was the way that the Doves rallied together to play yet another commanding team game that culminated in this magic moment, with Stapleton describing the Doveton Football Netball Club as one big family - one that sticks together through thick and thin, and

Doveton skipper Matt Stapleton celebrates his epic last quarter goal. 198092 there’s been plenty of moments over the last few years that have certainly tested the fabric of the club.

“These boys, we’re all brothers, and we’ve been through all the hard times together,” he said.

Picture: ROB CAREW

“Not everyone was here for the hard times last year, but I think they all got a sense that there was a bit of hurt there last year, and that definitely carried through us a little bit.

“I think going through the hard times only

makes the good times even better, and that’s probably the feeling at the moment to be honest.

“It’s such an amazing feeling (winning the premiership), it hasn’t sunk in, but I’m sure it will over the next few days.”

The purge: the latest chapter in footy’s ongoing saga By sports editor Russell Bennett Ben Joske, the Region General Manager of AFL Gippsland, was stunningly given his marching orders - effective immediately - on Monday, much to the dismay of the clubs in the West Gippsland Football Netball Competition.

Chris Ross, the president of the powerhouse Phillip Island Football Netball Club - which has won back-to-back senior premierships, and this year won flags in the fourths, thirds, and seniors - made it clear just how irate he is at the decision to let Joske go, with his position officially being made redundant.

“It’s a disgrace,” Ross said of the decision.

“Ben was unbelievably approachable and he had the clubs’ best interests at heart.

“I’m gutted, to be honest.”

When asked if he thought Joske had been made a scapegoat for the turmoil in the Gippsland region in recent times, Ross said: “100 per cent”.

Nar Nar Goon Football Club president Dene Missen also spoke about the shocking development, from the perspective of his own club - one of the biggest in West Gippsland.

“The Nar Nar Goon Football Club felt that Ben Joske - as head of AFL Gippsland - was making a concerted effort to listen to the clubs and their concerns moving forward,” he said.

“We are angry and bewildered with Ben’s sacking without any consultation with the clubs and are anxious about the future direction of football in Gippsland.”

John White was one of the six AFL Gippsland commissioners sacked with immediate effect at the commission’s May monthly meeting earlier this year.

He, like Ross, was gobsmacked at news of Joske’s departure.

“I’ve been a true supporter of Ben Joske,” he said.

“I thought he brought to the region a level of management skill that this region required, and he was delivering on that.

“I’m absolutely appalled at this decision.

“All clubs ought to be aware that they are now under the control of AFL (Victoria) Docklands and therefore need to be very wary as all berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

Former AFL Gippsland Region General Manager, Ben Joske. decisions made at Docklands are not in the best interests of Gippsland clubs.”

On Monday, an internal AFL Victoria memo titled ‘AFL Gippsland - changes’, seen by Star News, outlined the move on Joske.

“Over the past few months an internal assessment has been taking place into the needs of the AFL Gippsland RAC and structures to offer AFL Gippsland football the best and most sustainable model of service for the future,” the memo read.

“As such, a decision has been made by the AFL Gippsland commission to make the AFL Gippsland RGM position redundant, effective as of Monday 23rd of September.

“We would like to thank Ben Joske for his contribution to the broader Gippsland football community and the AFL Gippsland RAC

and Commission.

“We wish Ben all the best for the future.”

After the sacking in May of White and the other five AFL Gippsland commissioners, they were replaced by AFL employees in an interim capacity.

Joske was only announced to the RGM position mid-last year after spending three years as Commercial Development Manager at the Richmond Football Club, before serving as Manager of Regional Tourism and Strategy at Visit Victoria.

He also spent time as Commercial Development Manager at A League club Melbourne City, and held various roles within the racing industry.

His time at AFL Gippsland coincided with a significant period of turmoil within the re-

gion, but he’s thought to have impressed many throughout the WGFNC in his short time at the helm.

The move came as the WGFNC clubs opted to stay put - under the administration of the AFL Gippsland Regional Administration Centre led, until Monday, by Joske.

There had been some talk that the 12 clubs, combined, would look to explore a governance structure of their own with a view to being able to better control their own destiny.

But, instead, Star News understands they went to AFL Gippsland with a number of significant requests to modify their current relationship.

The most significant of those was requiring a 75 per cent majority vote from the member clubs on all major WGFNC decisions affecting them.

That would include matters such as applications to join from new clubs; fee changes; and finals dates and venues - particularly if those venues are home to clubs outside the WGFNC. Crucially, the clubs wanted to scrap the appeals process for outside clubs that don’t get the 75 per cent majority vote needed to join the competition.

The clubs made it clear they would also like to strengthen their relationship with the WGFNC Advisory Committee, and have a seat at the table when it comes to the selection of any new members to that panel.

Star News understands the clubs want these changes to occur in time for the 2020 season, and to be reassessed at the end of that season.

If, at that stage, the clubs are unsatisfied with their future direction as a whole, they may look to consider a new constitution and service agreement.

But they made it abundantly clear they were happy to continue to operate under Joske and WGFNC operations manager Stuart Goddard.

The competitiveness of the competition, its future viability through its healthy junior ranks, and the strong working relationship that exists amongst its clubs, are considered key factors behind why there’s so much outside interest in West Gippsland football and netball at the current stage.

Boyd’s calming influence

By Tyler Lewis Ex-Western Bulldogs premiership player Matthew Boyd demonstrated his cool head on the big stage in the dying moments of Doveton’s drought-breaking premiership on Sunday at Woori Yallock.

With 292 games at the highest level under his belt, including playing an integral part in the Dogs' grand final win in 2016, Boyd made it an intention of his to calm the young Doveton group down on the eve of the match against Pakenham.

“There was not much to say before the game really, but during the week we did a bit of work,” he said.

“They asked for my advice and experience, but really it is about letting the boys settle into the process and enjoy the week.

“It is a different week, if you try to shy away from the fact it is a grand final then I don’t think you are doing it justice.

“It was just about enjoying it and worrying about the process, rather than the outcome.

“The boys settled in really well, had a really good week on the track and came out to play a good brand of footy.“ When Boyd first entered the club, Doveton was starved of success, something he didn’t expect walking through the doors.

“It was a difficult period of time last year, no doubt, I probably didn’t expect what I walked into in terms of struggling for results.

“And as ‘Charlesy’ (senior coach Daniel Charles) mentioned, only having 42 players to pick from last year and 49 players played seniors this year. The fact of the matter is that this club is built on really good people and really good foundations.

“When they are built on good people and good values then it is just a matter of time before it turns around.

“Aaron Henwood (Doveton president) is an absolute star, and Dan Charles kept the group together.

“He (Charles) kept it positive through a tough year last year and Matthew Stapleton is a fantastic captain who galvanises this group.

“There is just three of the really good people at this footy club.“ Boyd was a regular at the centre bounce during the match, but when the Lions were surging late in the match, Boyd was playing in defence and was impenetrable, a move he said both he and Charles agreed was the right call.

“Charlesy and I have a good relationship,” he said. “he just allows me to read the game and put myself where I need to be for the benefit of the team.

“When it got tight late, it is always handy to have an extra number back, I thought the defenders defended well all day but it is nice to have a bit of security back there, just to try and control the ball a bit when they are under the pump.“ For Doveton, it has been a long time between drinks, but for Boyd it has been just three seasons since he celebrated premiership glory with the Western Bulldogs, and said they are both important to him personally for different reasons.

“Look, they are both special in their own way,” he said.

“I was at the Bulldogs for 16 years, we broke a 64-year premiership drought, and that was a really special bunch of boys who went through some hard times as well.

“No matter where you play you want to win the ultimate prize and this is reward for all the people who have been involved in this footy club and I am just lucky to be a part of it.“

Matthew Boyd's composure late was vital for Doveton in its grand final win. 198092 Picture: ROB CAREW

New season at Cranbourne City of Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon was a special guest on opening day of the new season at Cranbourne Bowls Club, which was recently held on Saturday, 31 August and was well-attended by club members and guests who enjoyed the new season-opening celebrations.

A light lunch of soup and sandwiches followed an afternoon tea of delicious cakes, which was prepared by club members and was greatly appreciated.

The club also recently honoured life members Shirley Venville and Ray Boskell by unveiling plaques dedicated to the club's new patioveranda and patio-grill areas.

With the preliminary tasks undertaken, the club is now raring to go for season 2019/20.

The club is excited with the return of skips Lyn Quigg, Ray Travica, Mark Bland and Freda Farrall, who return home to Cranbourne after an absence of a few years.

Head selector Doug Boggie was pleased with the form shown in the recent pre-season practice games and is confident of a very competitive year.

Doug was also happy to have gone after and invited a number of high class players to return to the club. He went on to say: "Lyn, Ray and Mark were all part of our Division 1 side a few years ago and it is great to have them back.

The return of Freda will also add great strength to our top sides".

Round 1 of the midweek bowls competition is about to start on Tuesday, 1 October while the weekend competition follows on Saturday, 5 October.

Cranbourne has entered four teams in the midweek open competition, with two teams in Division 2 and two teams in Division 5.

Cranbourne has entered five teams in the Saturday competition, including two teams in Division 2; one team in Division 4; one team in Division 6; and one team in the six-a-side competition.

Doves climb the mountain

By Nick Creely There was never a moment of comfort in Sunday’s AFL Outer East Division 1 senior football grand final at Woori Yallock.

It was tense, at times scrappy - and with both sides at stages looking nervy and unsettled - but that’s what grand finals can be.

That tension was even more evident as both Doveton and Pakenham were looking to break through for arguably their most famous flag of recent memory, considering the struggles both have endured over recent years.

But there’s something special about the Doves, who pipped the Lions in an epic decider, 9.7 (61) to 8.7 (55).

From a winless 2018, almost shutting the doors and struggling to field a side, the Doves are one of the stories of the season - a club that’s built itself back up from nothing to find a way to succeed and flourish.

And it came down to those little moments that mattered, and the tight bond created between every single person who represents the club.

In a highly-contested game - full of rapid momentum-swings - it took a moment of magic from Doves skipper Matthew Stapleton to seal the deal with just minutes left on the clock, launching a late goal from deep in the pocket from 45 metres out in front of a vocal Lions crowd.

It was a moment the Doves' faithful will never forget, helping the previously embattled club to its first senior flag since 2005, but it was just one of many defining moments in an absorbing battle.

The match was a pure slog early, with both sides looking to crack into the contest and keep the game as tight as possible, and at quartertime the Doves took in a four-point lead, but could have been further ahead had it not been for some errant kicking at goal.

But it was obvious that the Doves had many aspects of the game already on their terms despite the Lions looking ominous every time they managed to find an inkling of space. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

The Doves were desperate to keep the ball in close, take away the Lions’ ability to run the ball freely off half-back, and apply the heat to the ball carrier.

Tyson Bellinger got the Doves off to the perfect start to the second quarter, kicking a goal on the run after an impressive bit of clearance work from Mitch Cotter, and star Lachie Batten (best afield) continued his strong start by slamming on two goals within just a minute to surge his side clear.

But the Lions fought back - spurred on by some excellent defensive efforts and a desire to use the width of the ground to find space - to trim the margin back to nine points at the major break, with skipper Chris Cardona in particular playing a cracking quarter of football.

With just 30 minutes of good football left for one side to be up on the podium, Charles delivered a stirring three quarter time speech to his group, imploring his boys to leave nothing in the tank.

“Can we take away their space?” he asked his players.

“Are you prepared to hurt, like you’ve never hurt before?

“Someone’s going to give up, someone always gives up, and it gets a little bit too hard for someone.

“We spoke about how tight this group is, how much we care for one another. What are you prepared to do for this club?

“We’re in a perfect spot, we win the quarter, and we win the game.”

There were some danger signs for the Lions early in the third, with Batten kicking his fourth goal, but a Jake Thompson ripper sent the Pakenham faithful wild, before the Lions controlled the remainder of the quarter as Darcy Hope started to become a force up forward.

Hope - who began to turn the game at stages in the third term - drew a free kick to begin the last quarter, roosting the ball from 50 out to send the Lions in front, and all of a sudden, the contest had reverted back to a highly contested slog.

With the vocal crowd growing in voice, some superb ball movement from the Doves saw Sean Kelleher mark the ball in the goal square and convert his major to see his side back in the lead, and over the course of the next 10 minutes, not one point was scored with Daniel Charles’ side looking to lock the game away.

The Lions peppered the goals - looking to somehow find the match winning major - but skipper Stapleton provided that one defining moment, finding some space on the boundary line, and with nerves of steel, kicked his side clear in a moment that will go down in Doves folklore.

In a desperate scramble to stay alive, the Lions refused to give in as the crowd fell to an almost eerie silence, and as the clock continued to climb with the ball parked in the defensive half of the Doves, the likes of Matthew Boyd, Daniel Zajac, and the grunt of ruckman Michael Sikora and midfielder Mitch Cotter was telling in the end, with the siren eventually blaring as the green and black faithful erupted.

It was a day of significant individual performances, and in particular from Lachlan Batten - who set the tone early with his work in the midfield before floating forward to be a devastating force - to be the runaway winner of the best on ground medal for the Doves, while teenager Deakyn Smith lit up Woori Yallock with his run and creativity, defender Daniel Zajac was impassable, while Mitch Cotter proved that the finals stage is meant for him.
