CWA ladies celebrate By Mitchell Clarke

Scones, sandwiches and tea were at the ready as the ladies behind the CWA Pakenham branch celebrated their (second) 20th birthday celebrations. Beginning in 1931, the group disbanded in 1971 before reforming in 1999 where it's remained a highly revered community organisation ever since. The Pakenham branch currently has 12 members but is always on the hunt for new ladies to join. "It's basically a friendship group, the fact we serve the community for the betterment of children, women and families is very rewarding," president Carol Clay said."We also think Pakenham is a great area to live in and a great community with a lot of people doing great things to help."
Road to freedom Bridge, Station and Officer South roads to a fully signalised intersection. "The new interchange will ease pressure off the Officer highway exit as well as allow better access for locals and reduce travel times," resident Matt Dalzotto said. "It will be very beneficial and I cannot wait for the works to get going." Works are anticipated to commence in 2020 and Officer South Road will likely be closed for a period during construction. "As a council condition on the permit granted to the developer, Satterley, the new interchange works will service to improve access
to the Officer township," Cardinia Shire Council's infrastructure and environment general manager Peter Benazic said. "These works will be a fantastic addition to the local road network for Officer, both providing improved access to the Officer township and relieving the traffic volumes that currently rely on access via the Beaconsfield interchange and Cardinia Road, particularly during peak times." Arcadia developer Satterley will be involved in the delivery of the upgrade and will keep residents and prospective purchasers updated over the duration of works.

Plans are being finalised for a new freeway interchange at Officer South Road that will give Arcadia Estate residents vastly improved access to the Princes Freeway. The Officer South Road Freeway Interchange project, incorporating the western ramps to and from the city, will accompany the $711 million Monash Freeway upgrade. Officer's Arcadia Estate residents have been patiently anticipating the commencement of the project. "I think the new interchange will make it easier for residents in Arcadia and beyond to
gain quick access to the freeway, whereas at the moment we have to travel in the opposite direction," resident Paige Surtees said. "I live right next to the sound barriers so it takes me six minutes to reach the same point on the freeway in line with where I live. "It'll be nice when we can get on the freeway a lot quicker and not have to get stuck in traffic along Cardinia Road." The works will also include upgrading a portion of Officer South Road, between the freeway and Rix Road, to a four-lane arterial road, installation of a signalised intersection at Flanagan Avenue, and the upgrade of the roundabout at the meeting point of Rix, 12425088-FA36-19

Push for new bus service By Brendan Rees A not-for-profit group in Narre Warren helping improve the lives of young people has pleaded for a bus service to run along Victor Crescent. A petition of 288 signatures was presented to Casey Council at a 1 October meeting from members of the headspace Narre Warren Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) who are calling for the bus stop. In their submission to council, the petition said the nearest bus service was at Overland Drive at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre about a kilometre away, and 1.5km to Narre Warren railway station. Workers at headspace argue this can often lead to people walking in the dark and in poor weather. "The distance could be a deterrent for people having mental health issues getting support from headspace and other services in area," YAC representatives said. Speaking at the council meeting Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon tabled the petition, saying council would advocate to the State

Disabled man hit with ‘unfair’ parking fine By Brendan Rees A Berwick disability pensioner is furious after copping an 'unfair' parking fine - which he says has now gone up to $190.80 as he refuses to pay. Doug Brisbane says he was taking his fatherin-law to Casey Hospital in July after he had suffered chest pains and trouble breathing.

also for really essential services why wouldn't we have a bus running along there?" Cr Stapledon gave an example of a woman who had broke her leg in the area which could've be avoided if closer public transport was available. The team at Headspace, a place where young people can access low cost or free help, for a range of health and wellbeing problems, say their clients have also thrown their support behind the petition. "Some members of the YAC also access headspace services and either walk long distances or take public transport to gain mental health support," YAC team members said. "Council has been supportive of this initiative and enthusiastic about what we are hoping to achieve with getting a bus service along Victor Crescent," they said. Council will arrange a meeting with a local MP and members of the YAC team as soon as possible. A report will come back to council once progress has been achieved.
Casey Fields to host the 2020 Casey Cup City of Casey has announced Casey Fields will host the 2020 Casey Cup - one of the biggest junior soccer tournaments which is expected to draw crowds of up to 10,000 people. Held over three days from Friday 27 March to Sunday 29 March, it is anticipated at least 300 teams, up to 2,000 competitors and their accompanying persons, and officials, from Victoria and throughout Australia and overseas will be attending the event. Conducted by The Australian Football Skool and supported by the City of Casey, the tournament is open to all age groups including U7-U18 boys, U7-U18 girl's teams and all abilities categories attracting up to 300 teams from local clubs, metropolitan Melbourne, country Victoria, interstate and overseas.

"This helps us realise our dream for Casey Fields to be a venue for grass roots, premier and elite sports and large events like the Casey Cup. Being able to host such an outstanding event also fosters fitness, participation, health and wellbeing for our upcoming sporting stars. "This event will bring together both local businesses and community groups, creating a wholistic outcome for the Casey community, and beyond."

By Danielle Kutchel This year's Akoonah Park Men's Shed Classics in the Park Car and Bike Show is set to raise the bar, with activities on offer for the whole family. Now in its fourth year as an annual event, the Car and Bike Show on Sunday 27 October will bring together arts, market stalls, good quality food, raffles, activities and of course, outstanding cars, bikes and military vehicles for all ages at Akoonah Park in Berwick. Akoonah Park Men's Shed members have been hard at work behind the scenes organising the event over the past few months. A spokesman for the show committee said: "It's always a nice family day, even if not all family members are interested in cars and motorcycles as the Akoonah Park Market will also be on which offers plenty for everyone including food, clothes, plants and more. "People often spend a couple of hours at the show. There are plenty of vendors and the live music is great." The day will see talented live musical entertainers such as "The Sound of Them" take to the stage, while trade and sponsor stands display tools, 4WD equipment and tyres and much more. Around 300 cars and bikes enter the show every year, including hot rods, vintage and classic cars and plenty of Harleys, and it continues to be a success, the spokesman added. "This year we're expecting a lot more. The word has been getting around, and everyone is welcome regardless of whatever car or bike they have," he said. Participants can enter the car or bike competitions on the day to be in the running to win one of 14 trophies. Prizes are awarded in categories including best car and bike of the show, best European car and bike, best American car and bike and best Australian car. This year a number of star attractions will be on display, including a 1938 EL 61 'Knucklehead' bike.
$27K in fraud withdrawals
The 1938 E L 61 later became known as the “Knucklehead” because the rocker boxes looked like a human knuckle. Known as 'knucklehead' because the rocker boxes look like a human knuckle, Harley Davidson officially adopted the name in response to widespread public use. The model is considered a major historic feat in American history with the basic design principle of this simple V twin motor surviving and hardly changed until the introduction of the twin cam engine in 1999. Also on display will be a 1948 Tucker sedan, the most distinctive feature of which is its third headlight, known as the 'Cyclops Eye'.
This headlight would be activated at steering angles of greater than 10 degrees to light the car's path around corners. Only 51 of the Tuckers existed before production was abandoned due to numerous court cases. Remarkably 47 have survived and it is expected that one of those will be at the show. Gates open at 8am. Entry is $10 for those displaying a car or bike, $5 for adult spectators and children under 16 are admitted free. For more information contact Greg on 0417 898 760 or Ray on 0419 116 851.
Police hope CCTV images will identify a man who they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries after money was fraudulent withdrawn in Casey. Monash Crime Investigation Unit is investigating about $27,000 worth of fraudulent withdrawals from a bank account between 24-29 April. The incidents were committed at multiple locations including Lynbrook, Hampton Park, Albert Park, Windsor, Carnegie, Oakleigh, Clayton, Mulgrave, and Rowville. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1300 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A
with Ian Earle, Clyde CFA community safety officer
What's the best thing about the Clyde CFA? The community acknowledgement that you have helped them. About how many call outs would the brigade attend each year? About 250.
THREE … savvy ways to sort stuff
1
Start small Begin with baby steps, often when tackling a big job such as clearing clutter, we can feel overwhelmed. Start with one room - the sense of achievement you feel when you have finished it will help you move onto the next.
2
Sort it out Sort your stuff into piles of store, throw and recycle. Bag up and remove the throw and recycle items so you are left with just with those you want to store. Already, you've got rid of more than half your clutter. If you haven't, then take a second look and be firm. If you haven't worn it or used it in a year or more, then it's probably time to say goodbye.
3
Central Station Create a 'command' station in the house where you can store all those useful items like batteries, stationary and sticky tape. Group items together and store them in storage drawers or plastic takeaway containers. Label each box on the front with a permanent marker so you'll always know what's inside and you'll never have to rifle through a drawer full of junk again!
Was celebrating the brigade's 75th anniversary recently a proud moment for all? Considering the history the brigade has given to the area it was a very proud moment for all of us that we are part of that ongoing history. What's your favourite holiday spot in Australia? Cape York. What is your favourite book? Australian Military History. At school I ... was a bit of a rebel. What's your favourite movie? Pulp Fiction. What's something people don't know about you? I have a few secrets but I have kids and grandkids so I will keep them secret. If you were PM for a day, what would you do? Enact a law that all politicians would be paid on work performance only. Best concert or live show you have attended? 'Little Pattie' Nui Dat Bowl South Vietnam 1970.

Not on our ‘green’ land By Brendan Rees A Narre Warren North farmer says he and other residents fear their idyllic way of life is being threatened by a raft of big developments planned for the region. John Rousseaux, who runs Angus cattle at his 20-acre property, said the community was on "verge of losing a beautiful piece of green wedge" right on their door steps. "We are perplexed as to why so many proposals have been applied for in such a short period of time," he said. He said residents had concerns their landscape would be destroyed by proposed developments including three primary schools, a secondary school, a large scale residence, and an expansion of Harkaway Hills College. A child care centre has also proposed in Narre Warren North. Mr Rousseaux is one of more than 800 objectors to a proposed mosque on BelgraveHallam in Narre Warren North which was recently given the green light by Casey Council. Residents are now preparing for a VCAT fight. "It could be a Bunnings or a service station ... it doesn't matter who or what the building is; it's the fact that it's a building in the middle of farmland," he said. "I'm trying to farm the land and I don't know what's going ... I think that we are being taken for a ride. He said the multi-million dollar developments went against the Narre-Warren North township strategy adopted by Casey Council which aims "to protect the non-urban areas of Narre Warren North, including the northern foothills and their associated environmental and landscape qualities." "The farming rural aspect of this area, combined with Lysterfield Lake, makes this a very beautiful area for all to enjoy," Mr Rousseaux said.
Farmer John Rousseaux is concerned about developments proposed in Narre Warren North within the green wedge. 198690 Casey councillor Rex Flannery said the green wedge should be "left alone" but supported the building of a mosque in Narre Warren North. He said had the objectors to the mosque raised concerns about the development of Harkaway Hills College on Abeckett Road he would've voted against the mosque. "They're accepting of a school having congestion but they've got no tolerance for the congestion that the mosque may create," Cr Flannery said. "You can't have it both ways," he said. Casey anti-mosque campaigner councillor Rosalie Crestani maintained the mosque proposal would have a "detrimental impact" to the character of the semi-rural landscape. Meanwhile Mr Rousseaux said the landscape had already been compromised with congestion.

He fears the township will lose its rural Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS landscape to big developments. 198690 "I can't even get out of my farm because the traffic is at a standstill 6.30 every morning and we haven't got any of these developments," he said. Friends of the Earth spokesman Cam Walker said development occurring around the fringes of Melbourne was "developer driven." "Continuous low density sprawl is consuming important farm land, open space and remnant vegetation. It is also putting large new
populations into areas that are not adequately serviced with public transport or essential community services," he said. Casey acting manager of statutory planning and building services Nick Moore said residents concerned about planning applications within the green wedge zone could make a formal objection to council to "ensure that the community's concerns are taken into consideration."

Theft on cam By Brendan Rees Bandits have been caught on surveillance cameras trying to break into a new home being built in Berwick. The intruders stole tradies tools and damaged two doors as well as double glazed windows at the Stylebawn Drive property, totalling about $50,000. The owner, Susan Difabrizio has since hired a 24-hour security guard after the incident occurred about 4am on Thursday 26 September. Ms Difabrizio said thieves forced the lock to a key safe at the site two days prior to the incident, stealing keys and a garage remote. “We obviously changed the coding on the garage and changed all the locks on the house and they came back on the Thursday,” she said. “They certainly trashed the doors trying to get in but couldn’t get anything open. “It was a property they were obviously watching,” she added. Footage showed a female intruder holding what appeared to be a torch and a garage remote while another female and male also wandered the property. The bandits tried to enter through a connecting door in the garage after driving what is believed to be a Ford Falcon 2006 model and a trailer into the driveway. They tried to pull out fuses from a fuse box “obviously trying to turn off the cameras,” Ms Difabrizio said. Ms Difabrizio said she received a “big reaction” regarding names of suspects after posting the still images of the intruders on Facebook’s Casey Crime Page. The suspects names, footage, and a car number plate have been handed over to police. Casey Crime Investigation Unit is investigating. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

RAY’S SAY
On Friday 4 October, a story was shared to the Berwick Star News Facebook page about Headspace's call for a bus route along Victor Crescent to help young people access the office. This is how our readers responded online: Lisa Bonner: Adding a bus stop now will compound the lack of parking. Build a big carpark first, get the cars off the side of the road, then put in a stop up near Headspace. Sanket Chaudhary: Same happened in Berwick Waters estate, school is starting next year and no bus service has been arranged and big traffic on Grices Road, Soldier's Road and O'Shea Road. Tim Allan: That road needs a pedestrian crossing before anything else. Seen some close calls with people crossing the road and vehicles. What can be done in that regard Mayor Amanda Stapledon? Renee Charlize Newbury: How about walk? Only 500 metres from bus stop. pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

In Mick’s honour By Brendan Rees A future sporting hub in Clyde North is set to honour late Casey mayor Mick Morland OAM. City of Casey will pay tribute to the former popular mayor by naming an undeveloped reserve at 336i Grices Road, Clyde North the Mick Morland Reserve. The site, which is located at a new estate and adjacent to the Cardinia Creek corridor, will be developed into a district level AFL/ cricket and netball facility. The hub will include one oval, two netball courts, a multi-purpose community pavilion, cricket nets, car park, playground, shared path, landscape and public art. Councillor Susan Serey, who fought back tears at a 1 October council meeting, said it was only fitting to honour Mick at the reserve "to celebrate his support of sporting clubs, promotion of participation, and his love of nature advocacy for the conservation located within his believed Edrington Ward." The naming of the reserve has the support of Mr Morland's family, and council looked forward "to standing together with them" at the opening, Cr Serey said. During the meeting, mayor Amanda Stapledon paid tribute: "It is a very emotion thing but if you look on the bright side there is just a positive outcome and a legacy that will remind us of Mick in years to come." Mr Morland's widow, Kay Morland, said the family was thrilled his legacy would be honoured at the new reserve. "A couple of weeks ago we sat down together and all voiced our thoughts, and everyone loves it; everyone thinks it's a really good idea," she said. "It's a sporting facility which was also important for the family because that was one of Mick's passions." "And it's something new, it's not renaming
Members of the Buddhist Vihara Victoria temple in Berwick celebrate the opening a new car park thanks to a funding from the State Government.
Temple win Residents attending Buddhist Vihara Victoria in Berwick can now enjoy easier access to the community hub, with a new dedicated car park. The hub won funding from the State Government's Pick My Project initiative after receiving 1,886 votes for their landscaping and car park project - the highest number for any project pitched in the state. With a new tarmac car park and improvements to the surrounding landscape, visitors will now be able to easily and safely access the services provided by Buddhist Vihara Victoria. Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas was proud to be a part of the unveiling of the improvements on behalf of the Minister for Suburban Development Marlene Kairouz, on Saturday 21 September. Buddhist Vihara Victoria hosts a range of cultural and education services and acts as an important site for teaching and training for the Southern Metro community. The location provides a variety of services, including the public library, meditation centre, and the Dhamma language school, which specialises in teaching the Sinhala language. Mr Maas said the temple was a place where our "entire community can come together, and it is fantastic to know that the Pick My Project initiative can help more visitors make use of their valuable services." Previously the site had no car park making it difficult to access due to muddy conditions in the winter and dusty conditions in the summer.
Mick Morland served seven terms on council, six of those for the City of Casey. 146711 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS anything," she added. It comes after Casey Council decided not to proceed with a proposal to rename Pioneers Park in Berwick as Mick Morland Reserve following a consultation period with the community who strongly supported retaining the current name. About a 1000 people gathered to farewell the popular mayor, aged 67, who died when struck by a car on 24 June 2017 while on his regular evening walk. Community members described Mr Morland as a dedicated mayor, and a "statesman" with a "heart of gold" and a family man who would be "sorely missed."
Mr Morland served six terms as councillor since first elected in 1992, including one stint in the top job with both Casey and the former City of Berwick. He also received an Order of Australia Medal in January 2016. Council has spoken to Geographic Names Victoria to consider the support of the proposed name Mick Morland Reserve. Council will also invite submissions from the community when it gives public notice of its intention to name the site. Plans are underway for the future reserve and funding will be considered in council's 2019-20 capital works program.

Kicking goals for soccer By Brendan Rees Narre Warren North's athletes have a brandnew home, with the $4 million Jack Thomas Reserve pavilion officially re-opening on Saturday 5 October. It comes after the reserve's tenant Berwick City, which is Casey's largest soccer club, had long suffered in a dull and cramped conditions in the 40 plus year-old pavilion with no separate change rooms for male and female teams. The much-needed new pavilion features six unisex change rooms, two unisex referee rooms, a multi-purpose community room and undercover spectator areas. President of the Berwick City Soccer Club Nicky Woodward, who was present at the launch on Saturday 5 October, said the redevelopment was a "massive achievement" for the club's 800 plus members which fields 56 teams of all ages. "For the last two years we've had waiting lists for up to 200 kids and haven't been able to fit in," due to the facilities being stretched to its "absolute limits," she said. "It's a huge thank you to council and the State Government in what they've done for us," Ms Woodward said, adding "It ticks all the boxes in our five year plan we had." The club can now has six junior girl's teams, two senior women's team, and an all abilities team, she said. "It just means inclusion for everyone." The new amenities will encourage more participation across the community by providing female-friendly amenities for players, referees and visitors. Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said the new facility meant the Jack Thomas Reserve would be "seen as a bigger draw card for hosting games and tournaments." "This new pavilion will support our residents to be active and healthy, and it's what

the members of our local sporting clubs deserve," she said. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said the modern upgrade meant the Berwick City Soccer Club could continue to grow. "We are meeting the growing demand for more modern and accessible community sports infrastructure that can be enjoyed by everyone," he said.

The State Government poured nearly $1.8 million from the Growing Suburbs Fund towards the project, with Casey Council contributing $2.2 million. Sport and Recreation Victoria's Community Sports Infrastructure Fund provided $100,000 for the female friendly facilities as well as an additional $100,000 to improve the soccer pitches at the reserve from the World Game Facilities Fund.

SPORT
A new home for floorball After 22 years at the same venue, Pakenham Floorball this week relocates to a new home at Officer Community Hub - a move that is expected to bolster floorball participation levels. For many local residents floorball is an unknown sport, so it may come as a surprise to learn that floorball has hosted weekly Thursday night competitions at the Pakenham Stadium (Cardinia Life) since 1997. But with a tightening of court space and a lack of storage facilities at Cardinia Life, the Pakenham Floorball Club committee decided a move to 2 Parker Street, Officer would help continue to grow the sport. Pakenham Floorball Club president Gavin Staindl said the move would allow floorball to go to 'the next level'. "Currently we have several hundred players playing floorball," Staindl said. "But because everyone is fighting for court space at Cardinia Life there is very little room for growth." "By moving to the Officer Community Hub we can play on multiple courts for the whole Thursday night and continue to bring in more players and teams. "Floorball in our area is actually getting quite big.
Committee members Kerrie Lamble and Gavin Staindl are excited to move to the new home of floorball - Officer Community Hub. "We have programs for primary school-aged kids, competitions for under-15 and under-19, plus various divisions of mixed competitions as
well as a women's only competition too." Despite the exposure of floorball at Cardinia Life for 22 years and consistent programs
at schools, Staindl says he still gets the same question "what is floorball?" "I always tell people it's like ice-hockey without the ice, skates and physical brutality," Staindl says. "However, more and more people are aware of the sport. "It is really encouraging when you walk down the street and talk to someone about floorball and they say 'oh, I know what floorball is'. "More people are finding out about this sport and a small comment like that is enough to make my day." Staindl said the move to Officer would also allow the club to run BBQ fundraisers, sell merchandise, display trophies, and securely store goalkeeper gear and floorball sticks - options that weren't open to the club while at Cardinia Life. "Cardinia Life has been so good to us for so many years and all the stadium directors have been so helpful," Staindl said. "But we can't wait to finally have a place to call our own." The summer floorball season kicks off this week. Anyone wanting more information on this new, inexpensive sport can call Gavin Staindl on 0424 227 134.
Locals are lighting it up on the big equestrian stage By Russell Bennett Ballistic action, heart-stopping excitement, and incredible skill - Sporting Horse Australia has it all in spades. The sport, which includes disciplines such as flag and barrel racing, is captivating crowds right across the country, and two local riders - and their incredible horses - are leading the way. Gembrook’s Matt Burns is also the current president of Sporting Horse Australia and he, alongside his Australian Stock Horse ‘The Enforcer’ (otherwise known as Rip), have won the Sporting Horse Australia Horse of the Year title three times. The two-time Australian champions are also three-time Australian champions in the flag and barrel race, two-time champions in the stake race, and also champions in the bending race. They know what it takes to not only compete when the pressure is at its highest, but to also come out on top. They’ve been the number one seed at the Royal Melbourne Show for three years running, and also finished in the top 20 in Barrel Racing Horse for the ABHA (Australian Barrel Horse Association) Australian Open event at the Equitana. Right there along with them at the top of their game is another brilliant local pairing that of Cardinia’s Teyah Murray and her horse ‘Devil in Disguise’, otherwise known as Pip. Yes, even their horses have almost identical names. Murray and Devil in Disguise are two-time winners of the Sporting Horse Australia Horse of the Year in the under-18 category, under-18 champions at this year’s Royal Melbourne Show, two-time national champions in the under-18 flag and barrel race, and the Australian champions in the stake race. They’ve also been the under-18 seed for two years running at the Royal Melbourne Show. Speaking to Star News at the spectacular purpose-built, under cover arena on Burns’ ‘Grandview Park’ property on the weekend, he and Murray explained the magic of their sport. “My daughter got involved in the sport originally, and I watched it, really enjoyed it, and started to get involved, myself,” Burns said of his roughly decade-long involvement so far. “It takes a bit of time to get on top of things, and even getting a horse up to speed can take a year or two.” Burns has competed on a few different horses along the way, but The Enforcer is special. “He’s just got a massive heart,” he said. “Every time he goes out to compete, he really does give 100 per cent. “I’ve had horses in the past that have been good, but only when they felt like it.

Local equestrian stars Teyah Murray (aboard ‘Devil in Disguise’) and Matt Burns (aboard ‘The Enforcer’) are taking the sport by storm. They’re pictured here with The Enforcer’s strapper, Makayla Moore. Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT it felt like you just wouldn’t get 100 per cent.” Burns said The Enforcer had a real racer’s instinct. “He’s able to concentrate fully from the start of the race to the end, which is huge because at that speed it’s very easy to make mistakes,” he said. “It’s such a high intensity sport, so the horses have to be very skilful and agile to bend their way through the poles. Over a traveling distance of just 50 metres they have to turn at high speeds. “Just imagine sitting in a car trying to do that - it’d be just about impossible - so sitting on a horse doing it is a huge thrill.” Clearly, this isn’t a sport for the faint-hearted. “You’ve got to get to the point where you’re at one with your horse,” Burns explained. “There’s got to be complete trust - especially at those speeds. “But the horses really enjoy the sport. There
has been some still taking part at 20-years-ofage. We all love our horses and really look after them incredibly well.” Burns and The Enforcer rose to the top of the sport particularly quickly - with their achievements together coming in the past few years. And Murray’s rise with Devil in Disguise has been just as phenomenal. “We’ve been involved for about five years now,” she said. “She was taking part with her previous owner and she went up for sale, and I’ve been racing with her for three years now.” Murray said she and Devil in Disguise have been taking part in other events outside of the sport as well, helping to make the duo a more rounded team. “Things like trail riding, going to the beach, and a lot of work outside of the sport,” she said. “We do a lot to change things up.” The contrast of Pip’s name to her rac-
ing name perfectly sums up her competitive streak. Burns spoke about the consistency Murray and Devil in Disguise had found together - putting that down to the tireless work the young rider has been putting in. “Teyah has turned her into an amazing horse - every turn she makes is bang-on, she just rarely does anything wrong. She was fast, but now she’s just so consistent too.” Murray said another of her horse’s standout traits is her seemingly never-ending stamina. “She’s got a huge heart - she’ll keep going until I have to tell her to stop,” she said. It’s only fitting that Pip and Rip’s biggest defining traits are so similar. When they’re together, they’re practically inseparable - like two peas in a pod. Despite being from different generations, Burns and Murray also have a clear bond over their shared love of competition, and it’s one that’s set to spur them on to even greater heights for years to come. pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Fogarty lands at the nest By Nick Creely While the inaugural season of AFL Outer East officially finished late last month, preparations are in full swing for 2020, with some clubs already making some significant on field and off-field moves. The powerful Beaconsfield Football Netball Club has announced its new senior coach, with former Noble Park two-time premiership coach Mick Fogarty putting pen to paper at Holm Park in a massive coup for the club. The highly sought-after Fogarty - who coached the Bulls to two premierships (2010 and 2011) in the revered Eastern Football League - is the longest serving coach in Noble Park’s illustrious history - and finished up at the club this year, where he has been replaced by another notable name in Steve Hughes. He was linked to a number of vacant jobs in Outer East, and also in a number of neighbouring leagues. The incoming Eagles coach replaces Leigh McQuillen who, after three years at the helm, stood down after the preliminary final for work and family reasons. McQuillen at this stage has not ruled out coaching closer to home, but is likely to sit out of football in 2020. Narre Warren, meanwhile, is also on the lookout for a new senior coach after Matt Shinners stood down in similar circumstances after his side’s incredible premiership, and could be set for an announcement in the next two weeks, with the position highly sought-after. Berwick is also in a similar boat and is on the hunt for a new main man, with Rhys Nisbet departing the Wickers and signing on as senior coach for West Gippsland club, Kooweerup. Division 1 reigning premier Doveton has wasted little time in bolstering its list for a move up to Premier in 2020, signing Rowville forward Mark Seedsman as well as bringing
Two-time Noble Park premiership coach Mick Fogarty has landed at Beaconsfield. 156866 Jarrod Smith back to the club. Seedsman kicked 40 goals in the Hawks' reserves this season after just five senior games, struggling to break into the side after being a senior regular for a number of years. Smith - a former Dandenong Stingrays star - re-joins the Doves after a stint at St Kilda City.
The Doves have also welcomed back inside midfielder Charlie O’Neill, who has played the last two seasons at Highett. Much-loved Doveton great Aaron Henwood has, meanwhile, handed over the baton of club president to John Stapleton in 2020, with Henwood standing down after a four-year stint where he guided the Doves from a dark chap-
ter in their history, into a premiership. And incoming Division 1 senior club Berwick Springs has announced Rodney Benstead as its inaugural senior football coach. Benstead played VFL football for North Melbourne and VFA footy for Coburg, and previously coached for two years at Lyndale Football Club.

A Pakenham martial arts team has more than mixed it with the best on the big stage, finishing with an eight-medal haul at the recent Machado Jiu Jitsu Australian Championships in Melbourne. Students from Concept Jiu Jitsu and MMA shone under the bright lights - proving themselves to be the real deal. Head instructor Veronica Lombard explained just how hard they trained for the competition, and just how well they competed. “Not everyone won a medal but everyone did their best and contributed to the team on the day,” she said. “It’s great to do well at competition (level), pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au
but most of our students train for other reasons - often to build their confidence, increase their fitness, or to develop self-defence skills that may come in handy.” The dedicated male and female instructors at Concept Jiu Jitsu ensure their students are taught the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a safe, family-friendly environment. While Concept has developed a number of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champions, its main goal is to teach the martial art to people in the local community including Pakenham, Officer, Beaconsfield, and Berwick. The sport is suitable for men, women and children of all ages, and for people of all fitness levels and body types.
