Glenn’s focus for the holistic program has always been to gain trust, something he feels is unattainable unless people are able to relate to the kids. “When they go and see someone, like a psychologist sitting in front of them, they feel judged,” he said. “So they come here and there’s no judgement because, obviously, I’ve been in their shoes as well.” The State Government released its $45.5 million Ice Action Plan on Thursday, with $18 mil-

times a week. Glenn ensures he is constantly contactable for them via his mobile phone and a private Facebook group. “Last year I had four kids complete the whole program. One kid’s been clean off ice for eight months now,” Glenn said. “He’s got a full-time job. He actually came here last week with a brand new car, and he’s doing building as well. “Another boy finished school, he’s doing an apprenticeship, he’s also studying to do social work and I’ve made him a team leader.”

A FORMER drug dealer and addict who now teaches kids how to kick their own drug habits said there are children as young as 13 using ice in Casey. Glenn Munso from Cranbourne, the creator of the Youth YOU Program in Hallam, said the drug problem was worse than it had ever been. “It’s getting really, really bad,” he said. “I didn’t touch the harder stuff, like ice and all that, until I was about 20, 19. “I didn’t even know what a crack pipe was ’til then. “But now I’m on the phone to parents who have kids, 13-year-olds, that are using it (ice). “There’s a massive, massive epidemic.” Glenn, a 28-year-old personal trainer who runs the Essential Health and Fitness gym in Hallam, started the Youth YOU program last year to help and guide drug-addicted and disenchanted youths aged roughly from 13 to 24. Once upon a time, he was one of those kids. In 2008 Glenn was arrested for dealing marijuana and assaulting a police officer. He received a one-month jail sentence and ultimately served an 18-month intensive corrections order. It was a turning point that saw him give up drugs - taking and dealing. But Glenn said ice was now everywhere in Casey, and spreading. “I feel like a lot of parents are lost as well because they don’t know what to do. “And because it’s a new drug, there’s not that many statistics and there’s not that much information about it,” he said. “Literally, I have parents calling me every week, crying on the phone, begging for help. “Parents are driving their kids from Mooroolbark, Essendon, and Melton to come here because they believe their kids aren’t going to listen to an authority, like a teacher, or a psychologist, or a doctor.” The Youth YOU Program currently caters for 20 kids who participate in a weekly mentoring session with Glenn as well as gym classes three

‘Activity’ for Cranny By BRIDGET SCOTT CRANBOURNE was one of five towns across Melbourne to be announced as a designated activity centre last week following a new State Government initiative. A spokesperson for the State Government said Activity Centre Zones were intended to replace the many zones and planning controls with the one zone, to allow councils to take a holistic approach to developing key urban centres. Spokesperson for the Minister for Planning Richard Wynne said the minister was “unlocking jobs and investment in Cranbourne, one

of five one-stop zones being created across Melbourne.” “This zone will attract business growth to Cranbourne by applying the Activity Centre Zone to the town centre in the City of Casey,” he said. Background information provided to the News from the State Government about zoning indicated that the Cranbourne Zone would encourage a mix of uses and intensive development of an activity centre which focused on businesses, shopping, working, housing, leisure, transport and the community. It will also support sustainable outcomes and maximise the use of

infrastructure and public transport and also allow for higher density housing. Local Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera said this was a great outcome for Cranbourne. “Finally, after waiting for too long under Matthew Guy, Cranbourne’s town centre can now be planned as a cohesive place rather than an ad hoc amalgamation of individual sites,” he said. “This decision by the Andrews Labor Government means Cranbourne is ripe for transformation.” City of Casey mayor Mick Morland welcomed the new zoning for

Cranbourne, which supports the City of Casey Council’s Cranbourne Town Centre plan, and guides the area for future growth and development. “The State Government rezoning, together with council’s Cranbourne Town Centre plan, will help Cranbourne to develop into one of the most attractive, active and accessible areas of Melbourne,” he said. “As a designated activity centre, Cranbourne is set to attract more commercial, residential and retail development, which will lead to an increase in local employment for our residents.”

Briefly Guns found in car A MAN was arrested in Clyde North last Thursday after police allegedly found guns, ammunition and a baton in his car. The Pakenham man was discovered by police patrolling the area as part of the new Operation Stance, and was found sitting in his car in Selandra Rise just after 12.30am. Police searched the 24-year-old's car which was parked outside a vacated premises, and allegedly found two sawn-off rifles, ammunition, a baton, drug paraphernalia and what appeared to be a counterfeit $50 note. The man was then arrested and later charged with two counts of possessing a general category handgun, possessing a prohibited weapon, possession of drug of dependence and possession of ammunition and a counterfeit note. He was bailed to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 1 June.

A 34-YEAR-OLD male on his way to work was the victim of a robbery in the early hours of Saturday morning. Around 1.11am on Saturday 7 March four males approached a man walking along the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne while two demanded money and attempted to steal his bag. The victim refused at first before he was threatened after which he handed it over. The four men then took off on foot down the South Gippsland Highway where the bag was later recovered. Police ask that anyone with information contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Jewellery stolen AROUND $8000 worth of jewellery as well as a purse were stolen from a car parked outside a house in Narre Warren South. The valuables were taken sometime between 23 February and 3 March from a Toyota Camry parked along Ernest Crescent. Police ask anyone with information to contact Detective Senior Sergeant Michelle Ching at Narre Warren police station.

who live here as well.” He said the plans aim to provide facilities for junior sport. “It’s really growing out our way,” he said. City of Casey manager of sport and leisure Richard Amon said the draft master plans have been developed in consultation with the committee of management of the two reserves and informed by the council’s Leisure Facilities and Development Plan. “Council is confident that by engaging user groups through consultation, the master plans will provide a practical approach to the

future development of these two reserves,” he said. “A report summarising the feedback, and incorporating any changes to the final draft master plans, will be considered at a future meeting of the council.” Mr Holland said residents hope the master plans are not too far away and that they will mean that Rutter Park can be totally transformed. “Rutter Park is the biggest change,” he said. “It can’t be used by juniors at the moment, which is disappointing.”

He said residents are now taking positive steps along the long road to have it adopted.

Small town has some big plans in mind

A 25-YEAR-OLD Tarneit man died at the scene of a car crash at Cranbourne South on Saturday morning. Police believe the man was ejected from his car that crashed through a fence, about 100 metres east of Craig Road after he lost control of the vehicle around 4.20am along Meadow Road. Police will prepare a report for the Coroner. This takes the provisional road toll for 2015 to 53.

Selfies tell a story IT STARTED with a throwaway line. And now Michael Knowles is taking a ‘selfie’ of himself every day for the next year, as part of his own special project. Michael, from Narre Warren South, is almost 90 days into the project, for which he is posing with a different person in a selfie every day – many of whom are local Casey stalwarts. “I started the project one morning when I was getting a haircut with my long-term hairdresser,” he said. “We took a selfie in the mirror of the hairdressing salon with him posing Charlie’s Angels style with the hair dryer. “I stupidly said, ‘I should do this every day for 365 days of the year’.” “And so the next day, I did it again and so the rest is history.” Since starting the project, Michael has taken photos of himself with a range of local identities and community campaigners. When posting each photo to his selfie Facebook page, Michael includes a small biography and background for each person. Michael said some of his favourite selfies include photos with TV personality Coxy, Casey mayor Mick Morland, and a basketball team where the players were also all jockeys.

“It’s really fun, it creates little pictures of people and tells their stories,” Michael said. “People say interesting things. I also work as a specialist vet, so you’ll see a few animals in the photos. “It takes a bit of planning, usually for the week I have a few ideas as to who I will get in the selfies. People are connected with so many people but just don’t realise it. When you start to connect with them you can string heaps together.” Michael has also set his own list of rules to abide by when undertaking the project. The photo must be taken by him, it must be a person or living animal featured in the photo, and it must be taken on the day. “I am also thinking how I can make it a charitable event – been thinking of putting a dollar in a jar for every selfie and then sponsoring a World Vision child at the end of the year when I get there,” Michael said. Michael’s wife has selfie #365 reserved, while Star News photographer STEWART CHAMBERS featured in one of this week’s photos. To check out Michael’s selfie project, visit www.facebook.com/365Selfies, and to contact him email superknowles2000@yahoo.com.

A drug forum held at Narre Warren on Wednesday night tackled the issue of drugs and empowered sporting clubs with knowledge to help prevent illicit drug use. tween ice and the rise in crime, “we do know that there remains a strong correlation between people who are detected for drug offences and their involvement in other crimes.” Also included in the information released was the fact that evidence suggests that most consumers purchase ice from people they know or who they associate with, such as friends, or friends of friends. Victoria Police said it undertakes a range of actions including the deployment of specialised task forces at all levels of the drug trade, from

regional or localised operations through to higher level border controls. Mr Monroe said the program in Narre Warren last night was one of 19 implemented across Victoria, provoked by two things. “The concern in the community about the apparent increase in ice prompted it,” he said. He also added that the success of the Goods Sports Program held on reducing alcohol in sports also caused them to host a similar one in relation to drugs.

He said the main focus of the forum would be introducing the idea of a formal drug policy in all sporting clubs and letting people know how they can prevent illicit drug use. “The most important aspect of night is that sporting clubs will be encouraged to understand the role they play in reducing factors that lead people to use drugs,” he said. “It’s about increasing social inclusion and community cohesiveness.”

1176287-CG11-15

A DRUG forum held at Narre Warren last night (Wednesday) highlighted the need for a formal drug policy to be implemented at sporting clubs throughout the City of Casey to help stop the plague of drugs. The forum, which focused on a number of different drugs including crystalline methylamphetamine (ice), hosted a panel of guest speakers including National Policy Manager at the Australian Drug Foundation, Geoff Monroe. The forum followed a State Government announcement last week which saw the release of more than $45 million for an Ice Action Plan to reduce the supply, demand and harm of this deadly drug. As part of the plan, the government will implement new measures to reduce the growing supply of ice, crackdown on labs and introduce tough new laws to stop dealers and manufacturers. It will also help further support and provide assistance to families of those affected and the frontline workers who deal with the harsh realities of ice consumption. Victoria Police data indicates a significant rise in the frequency of use and availability of ice, with related offences almost tripling from 1274 in 2010 to 3748 in 2014. In information released by Victoria Police Media, the force acknowledged that while it is difficult to place an exact figure on the link be-

STUDENTS from Tooradin Primary School put the pedal to the metal when the school entered three teams into the first Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) competition for the year. Teams from across the state, including one interstate side, gathered at Casey Fields on the last weekend of February ahead of six hours of speed and manoeuvring. Tooradin Primary School entered two student teams and one community team to give parents the chance a go at keeping up. Early years co-ordinator Rachel Davies said students participated in intensive training in the lead up to the event to develop their fitness, team work and understanding of the event. She said students worked towards helping each other, devising strategies and encouraged each other through all their achievements.

“Winning the race isn’t as important as setting personal goals and helping each other to pace themselves,” Ms Davies said. “This is only the first in a series of races throughout the year including Wonthaggi, Knox, Bendigo and Maryborough and each race track has its own challenges and thrills.” Following their first competition for the year, students from Tooradin will now prepare for the next race by learning about healthy diets to fuel their bodies, exercise to build muscle capacity and learn about the qualities that make a good team. “This program promotes so many valuable life skills but above all else it is great fun,” Ms Davies said. “We were immensely proud of how well all our students participated in the race and their excitement and commitment will serve them well for the next event.“

Psychiatrists staying away ple due to an â&#x20AC;&#x153;astronomicalâ&#x20AC;? waiting list, Ms Thornton said. A Monash University study published last week confirmed a two-tiered mental health system. It found Medicare-funded psychiatrists and clinical psychologists in Greater Dandenong were accessed at half the rate of those in the substantially more socio-economically advantaged City of Bayside. The study concluded the federal Better Access initiative introduced in 2006 to improve access to mental health care had not provided â&#x20AC;&#x153;universalityâ&#x20AC;?. Liz Carr, acting director of Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council, said the study showed that GPs - who could refer patients onto the Medicare listed mental health services were not well enough informed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suspect GPs are making value judgements on the socioeconomic status of the person based on where they live. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They think you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay so you will have to wait for a psychiatrist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This affects those who

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the criteria for involuntary treatment but need psychiatric support - and live in the wrong suburb.â&#x20AC;? Ms Carr said â&#x20AC;&#x153;way too fewâ&#x20AC;? psychiatrists bulk-billed even though they were still paid a handsome government rebate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen people quite desperately trying to find a psychiatrist and really struggling with it.â&#x20AC;? The situation was exacerbated by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;scarcityâ&#x20AC;? of public mental health services - including a chronic lack of hospital mental health beds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public health system doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discriminate but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not enough.â&#x20AC;? According to health department statistics, Dandenong Hospital - the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main mental health unit - is failing to meet an 80 per cent benchmark for moving an adult patient from emergency to a mental health bed within eight hours. Between July 2013 and September 2014, the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score was in the 60s, apart from a 78 for the April-June quarter last year.

PSYCHIATRISTS are shunning Greater Dandenong and the south-east corridor in favour of their leafy home suburbs, according to a local mental health director. Eastern Regions Mental Health Association services development director Christine Thornton said it contributed to a large inequity in available mental health services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most psychiatrists and clinical psychologists tend to go into the city or work near their homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding fewer are coming into the Greater Dandenong area to work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see it with a lack of doctors going to rural areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we need to take seriously or weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a greater disparity for people receiving support.â&#x20AC;?

GLENN Munso told his mum he was off to a job interview, but he was lying. In reality the drug-addicted Glenn was heading to front court after being charged with dealing marijuana and assaulting a police officer. The year was 2008 and Glenn’s life of wild drug abuse and criminal dealing had finally led him to the edge of despair. “Obviously my family knew I was up to bad stuff but I wasn’t going to listen to anyone,” Glenn, from Cranbourne, said. “No matter how many times people told me, I had to actually go through it myself.” Glenn received a one-month jail sentence but ultimately served an 18-month intensive corrections order, in which he was required to undertake community work twice a week, anger management once a week, as well as a cognitive skills program. Glenn, who is now a 28-year-old personal trainer who runs the Essential Health and Fitness gym in Hallam, saw his life heading in only one direction unless he made an effort to change. And he did, giving up drugs and dealing not long after he was arrested. Glenn’s reform culminated in creating the Youth YOU program last year to help and guide drug-addicted and disenchanted youths. Glenn started smoking weed when he was about 16 years old and it wasn’t long before he

Glenn Munso created the Youth YOU program last year to help and guide drugaddicted and disenchanted youths. 135548 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS started dealing it. Then he hit the “harder stuff” after he finished high school everything from pills to ice. Selling drugs soon became a full-time job for Glenn who found himself pulling in roughly $8000 a week from it. He’d then spend $5000 a week just to satisfy his drug habit. “If I hadn’t had the lessons I’d definitely be in jail because I’m an all or nothing person,” Glenn said. “My drug dealing was a fulltime job, I took that seriously. I’d wake up early to drop off drugs, it was really serious.” Glenn’s not over-exaggerating the plight he was in. The young man found himself trapped in a world run by criminal dealers and defined solely by drugs and money. “You’re dealing with drug dealers, you’re dealing with people who hadn’t slept for long. “You’re dealing with people that... the money’s really important for them,” Glenn said. “Obviously, they have bills, they’ve got families, if people

owe you money and they need to pay these people... it got very serious.” And while Glenn came through the other side, many of his friends didn’t. “Yeah, I’ve lost close people to me,” he said. “Drug overdoses... close people... and they’ve passed away.” But despite the tragedy, and the anguish, Glenn focuses on looking forward. He acknowledges that the kids involved in the Youth YOU Program keep coming back because he can relate to their situation. Glenn, now engaged to his fiancee Kiren, has been there. “Everything I go through to me is a blessing because, obviously, I wouldn’t be able to help people without it,” he said. “It fuels me as well. People I’ve known that have gone to jail, or had drug overdoses, that gives me more fuel to keep going. I’m always reflective on how far I’ve come, and that’s why I push the kids as well. “They need to know that it is possible.” To contact Glenn, visit www. youthyouprogram.com.

City of Casey Grants Programs Applications for the following grants open Thursday 26 March 2015!

By ANEEKA SIMONIS AN UNPLAYABLE sporting ground is slowly replenishing following a generous water donation by a Clyde-based vegetable farm. Cardinia Recreation Reserve, which was severely cracking due to a lack of a steady supply of water, has been closed on a number of occasions to sporting groups such as Cardinia Cricket Club which has been forced to train and play away from its home turf. But this summer, the cricket club has been able to play its first full season in six years after vegetable grower Schreurs and Sons donated part of its Cardinia Creek pumping licence to the grounds. Cardinia Cricket Club president Luke Turner said the state of the grounds had made it tough for the team over the past few years but things were now looking up. “We have lost so much money by playing away in terms of bar sales and people using the facilities,” he said. “But this year has been one of the best years we have had.” According to Cardinia Shire Council, the grounds have, in the past, been dangerous and unfit for play. “The condition of the reserve was an extreme safety concern for council and, unfortunately, we had to close the oval during the 2013-’14 cricket season as the cracks were wide enough for an adult to get their

Outright rejection of tower By BRIDGET SCOTT A 30-METRE high telecommunications tower proposed for Cranbourne South was rejected at a council planning meeting on Tuesday night following a number of objections by residents. Councillor Geoff Ablett said he as well as a number of his colleagues commended council officers’ advice to reject the planning permit. The proposed tower by Vodaphone would have been located near Keipha Road, Cranbourne South, only about 500 metres from the local primary

school and general store. Cr Ablett said it “would’ve looked an absolute eyesore.” “There were around 20 reasons behind why people didn’t want it,” he said. “It didn’t fit the urban landscape and would have ruined the look of what we are trying to do.” The councillor, who said he spoke to around 20 residents who did not want it, also added that it would have been “unsightly in a beautiful estate.” “I didn’t speak to one person who wanted it,” he said. “The visual impact would

have been detrimental.” The proposed location for the tower is also listed as a Green Wedge Zone and Cr Ablett said this created further conflict in terms of appropriateness. “It would detract from the area,” he said. Cr Ablett said among the reasons people gave for rejecting the tower were potential health impacts on local families and students, noise from the tower, lack of perceived needs and the semi-rural nature of the area.

HILLCREST Christian College was among one of the lucky schools to witness a special helicopter landing on the school's oval last week. On Friday 6 March, students welcomed crew members of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. The landing was a reward for the school which successfully completed the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter’s School Program, designed to teach young students about the importance of not-for-profit emergency services and the work they do in the local community. The program has reached around 180,000 students, and is aligned with school curriculum including engaging videos and Charlotte braces for the noise of the helicopter taking off. lessons. 135518

STUDENTS from a local high school will be miles ahead of others in the area their age with the imminent launch of a new program. The community at Lyndhurst Secondary School is excited ahead of the launch of the ACE program next year, the academic curriculum enhancement program. Transition co-ordinator Lisa Williams said the program would allow for a separate class for high achieving students and form an entirely separate curriculum. “The idea is that from Year

7, it won’t be about accelerating but expanding,” she said. “It’s more self-directed learning at a higher level.” Ms Williams believed that the only other school nearby with a program like this was Elisabeth Murdoch College in Langwarrin. “We are one of few in the area,” she said.” “It’s pretty exciting and it will be a big year.” Ms Williams said it would be a whole new pathway from Year 7 through to Year 12, with a focus on ensuring students get the most out of their schooling. Students will be able to be-

gin doing VCE subjects by Year 10, which will minimise the amount of subjects they will have to do during Year 12. “It’s about maximising their chance to get into a tertiary course,” she said. She said families must have their high school preferences in by May with a testing date at Lyndhurst Secondary College for the ACE program on 16 May. “Families must submit applications by the end of April,” she said. She said that anyone who would like more information should contact the school.

Cutting grass and growing hope By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AFTER five years without a steady job, single dad Dillon Moon says it took time and a pinch of luck to rejoin the workforce. Dillon had quit his job as a civil drainer to care for his primary-school aged kids after a family breakdown. But despite his efforts, he couldn’t find a boss flexible enough to give him about 20 hours a week between school drop-off and pick-up times. Dillon’s break came when he got help from a Connections to Employment program - a pilot run by Mission Australia to tackle entrenched unemployment in Melbourne’s south east. Victoria’s unemployment rate has been steadily climbing to 6.5 per cent. There are south-east suburbs that dwarf this figure, such as Dandenong (20.5 per cent), Doveton (20.4 per cent), Dandenong North (11.1 per cent), Cranbourne (10.5 per cent), Noble Park (10.5 per cent), Hallam (9.9 per cent) and Springvale (9.8 per cent). Dillon, 46, retrained - gaining a Certificate II in Skills for Work and Vocational Pathways. With the help of the program, he found a job as a mower and gardener with Pakenham business owner Denis Toogood who runs a handyperson enterprise Denis Around The House. “Denis has stepped in not just as a boss but as a friend,” Dillon said. He says he no longer worries so much, or has to fret about not taking his kids out to do things on the weekends. “There’s no better feeling than

Call to back businesses By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Dillon Moon and Denis Toogood are a happy work team. 134101 Picture: ROB CAREW picking up your kids after doing a good day’s work.” Mr Toogood set up the business after being retrenched from his paintmaking job. He says the goal of the business is to help others - and has been prepared to give the previously long-term unemployed and young refugees a go. Dillon has worked for him for nearly a year. “I say don’t judge people,” Mr Toogood said. “Dillon’s got tatts all over him but he’s the sweetest bloke you could meet. “A genuine battler… would do anything for his kids… a great work ethic.

“It’s been a really positive experience for me.” Mission Australia state director Kylee Bates said the Department of Human Services-funded program helped to break the disadvantaged cycle for people in Greater Dandenong and Casey but it takes “intensive time”. The program has found an ongoing job for 38 of its 80 clients - who are connected to DHS by way of public housing, waiting lists, a disability, child protection or youth justice. They are a clientele that have previously slipped through the job network support system. For details on the program, call Rosemary Nelson, 9213 2500 or 0427 957 013.

A RADICAL rethink of the State Government’s jobs plan is needed to tackle double-digit unemployment rates in Melbourne’s south-east, say manufacturing and social services leaders. The State Government, facing a rising Victorian unemployment rate of 6.6 per cent, has placed job creation high on its agenda. According to Federal Government estimates, in September the southeast’s highest jobless suburbs include Dandenong (20.5 per cent), Doveton (20.4 per cent), Cranbourne (10.5 per cent), Hampton Park (10.2 per cent) and Narre Warren (7.3 per cent) The region is heading for more potential pain - with 3400 local jobs linked to the departing automotive industry. South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance executive director Adrian Boden said more government funds are needed to help manufacturers innovate and grow. “Banks aren’t lending money to manufacturers, there are hardly any venture capitalists and governments say they aren’t handing out money. “If we don’t invest here, manufacturers have no option but to go overseas.” Mr Boden said the qualifications of skilled migrants were unrecognised

and underutilised and local business needed a “level playing field” to compete for government contracts. He said the new government’s decisions had already penalised manufacturers, such as 48 companies within SEMMA set to benefit from the abandoned East West Link project. Many were also depending on the faltering Port of Hastings expansion. Emma King, chief executive of Victorian Council of Social Service (VCOSS), said the “clear missing part” of the government’s policies was the community sector. “We’re the ones working with those vulnerable. We think we play a constructive part in getting people back to work.” She said the philanthropicallybacked Doveton College project which combined school with early childhood and family services - was an example of how to link unemployed parents with work and study providers. “Long-term this is cost-effective but, most importantly, it’s going to turn lives around.” Last week Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams raised her concerns about the human consequences of the car industry’s “pending departure”. “That is 3400 families that are looking down the barrel of a gun as they face some pretty tough times.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Breakfastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe for success By BRIDGET SCOTT owners from BUSINESS throughout the region had a morning filled with food yesterday (Wednesday) when about 200 people turned out for the first event of the Casey-Cardinia Breakfast Series. Renowned authors and television presenters Matthew Evans and Nick Haddow kicked off the series as the guest speakers. Driven by hunger for fresh produce and a good piece of cheese, the two now both reside in Tasmania where they each run their own food businesses. Mr Evans said chefs now say he â&#x20AC;&#x153;moved to the dark sideâ&#x20AC;? when he made the choice to become a critic and started to review some of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top restaurants. Later, he fell in love with the idea of home reared produce and now runs a small farm and grows and prepares his own produce. Mr Evans is also the author of nine books which include Never Order Chicken on a Monday and The Weekend Cook. Mr Haddow, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;failed marine biologistâ&#x20AC;? founded Bruny Island Cheese in 2003 which was awarded the Telstra National Business of the Year in 2013. Matthew and Nick costarred in all four series of Gourmet Farmer. The two also co-authored

Angela McPhee, Fred Campus and Mary Agius.

Guests at the breakfast included employees from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Casey-Cardinia Business of the Year, Highview Accounting. The applications for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards are now open

with local companies urged to enter. Local growers and businesses, as well as sponsors of the event also set up an impressive stand outside the main area with free produce and other goodies on offer to take home for free. The next breakfast will be held at the Cardinia Shire Cultural Centre on 24 June.

THE BEST of the best will share the secrets of their success at a series of business events starting next week. Four CEOs from the manufacturing, retail and accounting sectors will be speaking to other local business leaders about their strategies for succeeding in a tough economic environment. Speaking at the first event will be Silvio Marinelli, coprincipal of Casey Cardinia Business of the Year winner Highview Accounting, Terry Steel from Jurgens Caravans, David Murphy from TRJ Engineering and Monique Filer from b.box for kids. Each CEO will talk for 1520 minutes outlining the key factors that have led to their success in business, at the end of which there will be a panel Q&A session so that further insights can be gleaned by those attending. The event has been conceived by local businesspeople Simon Maselli from Metamorph, Ian Ash from OrgMent Business Solutions, Norm Davidson from the Bendigo Bank and Peter Smith from New Era Management, supported by Star News Group and Casey Cardinia Business. Mr Maselli said the events were designed to enable other CEOs and business leaders learn from those who have made it, providing the chance to improve their own business performance more quickly. He said many of the insights provided would demonstrate just how simple actions can lead to dramatic results and how these techniques can be applied

Monique Filer will share her business knowledge. 135782 to any business irrespective of size and domain. As a further benefit, the event will be run as a not-forprofit with any surplus funds being donated to the 4Cs Foodbank.

per head (including tea, coffee and biscuits). Registrations are essential to secure your place by going to http://solbr.eventbrite.com. au or attendees may pay on the night, subject to available capacity. For more information, contact Mr Maselli on 0429 377 217 or email simonm@metabiz. com.au

IN DEFENCE OF NEGATIVE GEARING FIRST National Real Estate Neilson Partners says suggestions that negative gearing is a perk for the rich are misguided and, if eliminated in the next budget, the most vulnerable in our communities could soon see unaffordable rental prices. "The great Australian dream is to own your own home and it is important we remember just about every Australian begins his or her journey to property ownership as a tenant in a rental property," said First National Real Estate Neilson Partners Rental Division Manager, Allison Holzer. "Australia has one of the fastest growing populations in the OECD so keeping rents

affordable depends entirely on maintaining an adequate supply of rental properties. "This can only be done if Australians continue investing in properties they are prepared to rent to others. The main thing that keeps that attractive is negative gearing." Current taxation arrangements offer Australians the opportunity to invest in real estate as a way of saving for independence in retirement. However, with the average property investor owning just one rental property and having an income no higher than $80,000, suggestions that the rich are exploiting negative gearing are an

exaggeration. "If negative gearing were removed in an environment of the lowest interest rates since the 1950s, Australians would be unlikely to continue to invest in rental properties at current rates," Ms Holzer said. "They would seek better returns elsewhere and, with population growth near record highs, the supply of rental properties would fall short of demand, thereby forcing up rents. "This would place unacceptable pressure on the most vulnerable citizens in our community. "It would also lengthen the amount of time it takes for first home

buyers who are renting to save a deposit to buy their first home." Currently, the rate at which rents are rising is slowing down. In fact, rents had an annual growth rate averaging 1.8 per cent in 2014, which means they were rising more slowly than inflation in 2014. If negative gearing were dropped, that situation could change rapidly. "Negative gearing plays a vital role in balancing supply against the demand for rental properties and this helps keep housing affordable for everybody," Ms Holzer said.

Step up to our award winning Milan, voted HIA’s Best Display Home 2014.* The Milan 29 from our Aspire range has just won the 2014 HIA Victorian division Best Display Home between $250,001 – 300,000. It’s an architect designed home ofering afordable luxury, space and light and a range of innovative features. The sun court, for instance, actually increases the usable interior space and ﬂoods the living areas with light. Or as the judges said: “A very open home that gives the impression it is bigger than it actually is.

“Excellent workmanship, attention to detail and a feeling of spaciousness.” – HIA Judges

You can sense the diference immediately with generously proportioned spaces that ﬂow together naturally to create vistas and extended views with picture windows usually only found in more expensive homes. The high level of luxury inclusions also caught the eye of the judges who said the Caesarstone benches, Franke sinks and Smeg appliances “represent value for money”. The overall style and elegance of this four bedroom home is typiﬁed by the raised ceiling above the dining area. Visit the Milan today – and judge for yourself.

Chorale in a combination By BRIDGET SCOTT TWO experienced singing groups will get together later this month for “an afternoon of song” at St John’s Anglican Church. On Sunday 29 March, a combined concert between the Australian Welsh Male Choir and the Cranbourne Chorale

will bring together a variety of sounds . This will give the Welsh male choir, which usually performs in Frankston, the chance to be part of another local performance ahead of the group’s trip to the United Kingdom this year. The Australian Welsh Male

Choir will sing at Royal Albert Hall. Chorale secretary Jenny Toin said it would provide both choirs, who have the same conductor Anne Credlin, a good chance to combine. “It’s an opportunity for them to sing the program they will sing in England,” she said.

Still plenty to learn By JARROD POTTER SIX games in 50 hours proved a huge task for Casey Cavaliers at the BIG V pre-season tournament, but a second-place finish was a fitting result from the long weekend. With a new-look roster featuring in the tournament at Dandenong Basketball Stadium across the long weekend - following the additions of 200cm powerhouses Brent Hobba (from Dandenong Rangers) and Lester Strong (Bulleen Boomers) - Casey powered its way through to the Premier Men grand final after defeating Keilor 55-44. Even though the Cavaliers were rolled by Waverley Wildcats 41-60 - despite the long bombing efforts of Hobba and Ash Szalek from beyond the three-point line - Baird believed the weekend revealed a lot of

unique combinations for the new-look offence. “We learned that offensively we have plenty of production,” Baird said. “Which we probably knew… but it was good to see that in action against other teams. “It was good to get out on the floor against other opposition and see how various combinations worked together. “We also learned that despite our size, we’re not topheavy, I don’t have any real concerns about that and finally we learned that we have plenty to learn.” Baird praised the roster from starters to the depths of the bench as Ryan Outhred impressed at the four/five - boxing out strongly and top scoring in the first game of the tournament. Dean Johnson (vacation)

was the only notable absence for the Cavaliers squad ahead of its BIG V Division-1 debut on Saturday against Melbourne University from 8pm. “We’re tired, we’re a little bit beaten up - six games with either eight or nine players all weekend, so it will be a really light week and we’ll prepare for game one,” Baird said. Casey women didn’t fare as well in the tournament, finishing third in its pool to miss out on finals, despite new recruit Rebecca Magdich and returning trio Jess Szalek, Cherise Jacotine and Amy McFarlane. The Cavaliers’ ladies will face the debuting Pakenham on home court from 6pm Saturday. Casey’s Youth Men lost its grand-final clash against Altona 35-59 and will face Craigieburn on Sunday afternoon at home.

Top-50 Rays the standard By JARROD POTTER A DANDY line-up is coming together for the Stingrays ahead of their 2015 TAC Cup season. Craig Black and his coaching staff have run their eye across the best talent in the south east and taken their pick of the best 50. The players have put in charge Lachlan Williams as their 2015 TAC Cup captain - a single captain this season down from the dual role the club had used in previous years. Williams - a wily midfielder/forward - will lead the team alongside vice-captains Mitch Cox and Lachie Batten while the greater leadership group also includes Brandon White, Keiran Collins, Jacob Weitering and Jake Lovett. “We’ve just gone for the one captain this year,” Black said. “I think his (Williams) pre-season has been really good and he’s got a lot fitter. “You just hope the natural progression - his improvement from a 16 to 17-year-old was really good - and if he can take that step again and continually improve on last year he’ll be another really good player in the TAC Cup.” Training and testing day for the TAC Cup was on Saturday and the Stingrays excelled as the Rouse brothers - Jordan and Zach-

ary - pushed to 16.6 in the beep test - a distance that would equal former Dandenong Stingray Billy Hartung’s AFL National Combine record. Also starring were Darcy Warke, highly ranked in the agility run, while Brandon White and Liam Myatt and Warke all clocked subthree-second times for the 20-metre. Dandenong’s final practice match is against Gippsland Power this Sunday at Garfield - with the senior Stingrays kicking off at 3pm. DANDENONG STINGRAYS’ SQUAD - LOCAL PLAYERS BEACONSFIELD - Jayden Bubb, Thomas Glen, Jordan Stewart, Thomas Jok, Bailey Rice, Brandon White.

Third time lucky for Cumming By JARROD POTTER THIRD time’s the charm for Steph Cumming as her Townsville Fire finally knocked off the Bendigo Spirit in the WNBL grand final. Cumming, 24, originally from Endeavour Hills, made the switch to the Queensland-based WNBL team three seasons ago, but hadn’t tasted the same success she had with Dandenong until this week. After featuring in both of Townsville’s WNBL grand-final losses - in 2012/13 and 2013/14 - Cumming and the Fire went one step better on Sunday as the home crowd got to cheer on the Fire’s 75-65 win over the Spirit. Cumming sunk 12 points in the finale, from 34 minutes court-time, as she helped shoot the Fire ahead with two of her signature long-range treys. She thought it was a fitting farewell for her team mate - WNBL legend Rachael McCully (nee Flanagan) - to end her WNBL career in the team’s finest moment. “It was brilliant - there are no words that can describe it,” Cumming said. “Especially to send Flanny (McCully) off that way was amazing. “The time it hit me (Townsville winning the championship) was when Flanny had two foul shots and there was less than a minute to go. “I looked at the clock and thought we were 10 up with a minute to go, surely we couldn’t lose it from here. “I looked at Flanny and she still had her game-face on and I had to calm myself down for a little bit longer.” Townsville has been the side to beat all WNBL season as Suzy Batkovic, Cayla Francis and Mia Newley formed a huge front-court presence alongside Cumming and McCully. “It was really good this year - the team really got along well and every-

thing just fell into place for us,” Cumming said. “We were lucky as we didn’t really have any major injuries and we get along so well off the court as well so it made it that much easier.” Cumming has signed on to play with Kilysth in the SEABL winter basketball competition, with a former Rangers’ team mate Sam Woosnam coaching the Cobras. Doubling the Endeavour Hills flair at Townsville, former Dandenong Ranger Rosie Fadljevic was also part of the Fire’s WNBL championship Steph Cumming pops up in winning squad - as she averaged - but Townsville's 10-point grand-final only played two seconds in the grand triumph over Bendigo.

Cobras take a big leap By JARROD POTTER DDCA - Turf 1 and Turf 2 semi-finals review NOT even a Steve Spoljaric solo-knock could keep Cranbourne’s (152) latest Turf 1 finals’ campaign alive, as Heinz Southern Districts (216) feasted on the Eagles’ batting. CRANBOURNE v HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTRICTS A LITTLE from a lot of Cobras led Heinz Southern Districts (216) to a grand-final showdown against Mordialloc - after dispatching Cranbourne on Sunday. Matt Cox (38) and Michael Davies (32) led the middle order charge after Adam Semmens (32) and Matt Downe (28) kicked off proceedings at Casey Fields. Steve Spoljaric (2/36) proved tough to get off the square, while Te Ahu Davis (1/63) rattled off 10 maidens in his 25 overs. The wickets would come through Cam Kelly (3/27) and Martin Kelly (2/31) as the Cobras could not finish the job en route to a steep, but chaseable 216. That chase didn’t start well for the Eagles as Brayden Roscoe (0) succumbed to Chad Van Estrop (2/34) before stumps. Spoljaric (88) put in a superhuman effort to halt Heinz, but he couldn’t find any willing partners to stick with him at the

Casey Fields crease. Cranbourne’s silly shots and Heinz’s straight bowling proved most critical as Ben Maroney (12) dollied one back to Justin Davis (3/33) before Michael Davies (4/28) got a real ‘kick’ out of catching Te Ahu Davis (14), as the Cranbourne all-rounder was one of many to swipe and slash when it wasn’t necessary. Cranbourne’s impressive run-rate belied the problems with its top order - the runs flowed, but so did the wickets and Cranbourne didn’t have a valve to shut down either approach when it mattered most. Davies would run through the tail as Spoljaric tried his hardest to maintain the strike and keep the scoreboard ticking over. Spoljaric would tonk Paul Stockdale (0/24) out of the attack as he slashed fours and sixes off the leggie approaching the end of the Cranbourne innings. Captain Trevor Davies would bring back on Davis to curtail Spoljaric from one end and his efforts paid off as the four-time Wookey Medalist holed out to Adam Semmens trying to up the ante one more time. “To nearly go down last week and only get in on percentage, we always back ourselves against the best and it’s pretty enjoyable today, but obviously there’s a long way to go, “ Davies said. “We knew what they could do with Spolly - I think Judda (Davis) was really consistent through the middle there - Chaddy (Van Estrop) just done the job all year, Slick (Michael Davies) to come on with his second spell was really good and I think all of them were good.” “Another tough one - they bat right through, they bowl right through, so same as today (Sunday), we’ve got to be on our game and if we don’t bring our A game they’ll beat us comfortably, but if we do we know we can beat them as well.” SPRINGVALE SOUTH v MORDIALLOC SPRINGVALE South (136) showed there’s no giving up in Bloods territory as the home-side managed to surprise Mordialloc (9/172) late on day one. It went pear-shaped at the start for the Bloods as six quick wickets fell as Mordialloc’s front liners started searing through. Gallant knocks came from Jackson Sketcher (30) and captain Craig Slocombe (16) to arrest the bleeding, but they too would succumb to the Bloodhounds after a gutsy 46-run stand. It left the tail to wag as Harry Staude (28 not out) and Jarrod Armitage (13) rallied the first passage of stellar defence. Bloods young gun Ryan Quirk (21) came to the crease at last drop after batting all morning in the under-17’s final. Alongside Staude, they added 44 for the final wicket. At stumps, Jarrod Armitage (4/68) and Yoshan Kumara (3/40) had bowled their side back in to the match with 22 overs cannoned into the Bloodhounds between them. Mordialloc held on at the death on Sunday, batting around Stuart Squires (41) as Athukorala (27) and Cameron Tomkinson (19) ensured the Bloodhounds would secure first-

innings points and face the Cobras this week for the Turf 1 flag. TURF 2 IN A very Narre semi-finals, Narre Warren and St Brigids/St Louis will hunt down a place in Turf 1 next season. After demotion following the controversy of its pitch being dug up - it looks like Narre Warren (133 and 5/131) could be one clash away from a Turf 1 return. Narre North (115 and 143) could not match the might of the Magpies - especially spearhead bowling from the skipper Kaushalya Weeraratne (6/31). Abid Ali (38) was the only knock of note for the home side as the remaining attack fell to Weeraratne while the reply was quick and painless as Narre took the points via David Wheeler (48). The Northern resistance was fleeting again in the second innings as Ali (30) held it together from the tail. Wheeler (4/20) and Weeraratne (3/28) made sure there wouldn’t be any reverse shenanigans as they worked their way through the attack. Weeraratne (52 not out) capped off his superb clash with an equally impressive half-ton to guide the Magpies home to the emphatic outright victory and book a spot against St Brigids/St Louis in the grand final this week at Arch Brown Reserve. St Brigids/St Louis (220) made sure it would not be easy for Narre South (146). Despite the best efforts of Ali Mortaza (6/32), the Lions could not halt the visitors’ charge as Aaron Douglas (3/37) was the other main wicket taker for the Lions. The Lions struggled in response and could only muster 146 with Brendan Wilson (27) topscoring.

Taking the game by the tail By JARROD POTTER CLYDE and Cranbourne Meadows have booked their places in the WGCA District finals after sweeping aside Lyndhurst Vikings and St Francis Xavier respectively. The wickets would fall for Clyde (163) but the best Lyndhurst Vikings (137) efforts weren’t enough to halt the dashing Cougars. James Gilbert (3/33), Jesse Fitzgerald (2/35) and Heath Straughair (2/40) did the damage for the Vikings to leave the Cougars in disarray, once the Clyde skipper Kyle Brooke (16) fell to Straughair. It left a lot of work for the Cougars’ tail-end to burden, but Kane Avard (33 not out) and Nick Miles (30) taught the elder statesmen above them in the order, a thing or 63 about cashing in as the duo notched the match-winning partnership. “We’ve probably had a mixed back end of the year, but since Christmas we’ve come through undefeated right through until now,” Brooke said. “We’ve come together as a side really, really well and we’ve got some interesting selection decisions to make before next game.” It only took 21 overs on Saturday for Cranbourne Meadows (8/204dec) to finish the job against St Francis Xavier (107) and begin their finals’ campaign as Shaun Matthews (7/21) proved lethal to any crease-bound X-Men. His 17-overs was more than enough to dish out the pain for St Francis Xavier as only Brendan Hunt (28) proved any match for Matthews. Geoff Bradshaw (3/25) was the other chief destroyer as he reaped three wickets across his 10.4 overs. Clyde will host Cranbourne Meadows in one semi-final while Lyndhurst will face Officer in the other finals’ clash. SUB-DISTRICT A SOLO knock by Nathan Bownds (45) was

Undermining Emerald strike by strike, Tooradin’s spearheads Rick Holland (3/28) and Ash Adams (3/46) picked off any errant Bomber, but Bownds held strong under the pressure to post the best score by a country mile. Owen Johnstone (2/20) wrapped things up early as Tooradin marched onwards to their first semi-final clash against Catani. A meagre tally would not be enough for Catani (143) to curtail Lang Lang (8/162). After the skipper’s gallant half century last week, the same could not be found from the Cats’ bowlers as the Swamp Tigers got away to an early flyer - Brian Christensen (56) and William Wykes (22). Lang Lang will head to Pakenham this weekend.

Bulls charge into finals By JARROD POTTER VSDCA - Round 13 (One day) ENDEAVOUR HILLS v KINGSTON SAINTS NEEDING a win to make it through, Endeavour Hills (5/159) emerged triumphantly over Kingston Saints (7/157). The middle order resolve of Kingston’s Anthony White (48) and captain Luke Wintle (47) was the only partnership of significance as the Eagles swooped on wicket after wicket. Captain Chris Periera (1/15) and Daniel Wiles (1/15) were economical throughout their spells while Matt Foenander (3/36) speared the important scalps when it mattered most.

The chase was a Zach Allen (78) master-class as the teenage tyro belted half the required runs and left the rest to his team to hunt down. Allen was found short of the crease on 78, but the resolve of Foenander (33 not out) and Richard Saniga (14 not out) was enough to finish the job and push the Eagles through to the finals for the first time since 2012/13. Endeavour Hills will trek across to face Caulfield in this weekend’s finals’ clash. NOBLE PARK v BRIGHTON AFTER falling to the lower rungs of the ladder, with a 1-3 start to the season, Noble Park (5/122) returned to the peaks of its power. Ash Perera (4/32)

The gloves are off By RUSSELL BENNETT WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCIATION PREMIER DIVISION - SEMI FINAL PREVIEWS CARDINIA v TOORADIN THIS is it. The painstaking dress rehearsal of the past two weeks featuring Cardinia and Tooradin in the West Gippsland Cricket Association’s top flight is finally over and we can get down to business - watching two of the most professional sides in the competition go head-to-head in a do-or-die battle. The Bulls deserve to go into this game as warm favourites, and they will. They’ve shown remarkable consistency all throughout what has so far been an unbeaten season. Skipper Neil Barfuss (504 runs and 33 wickets) has led the way in a stellar 2014/15 campaign that could well result in the Terry Stephenson Medal (for Premier’s best player) being draped around his neck at the league’s presentation night. But Cardinia has had plenty of other strong contributors too, like wicket-keeper batsman Luke Turner (224 runs and 27 dismissals), player-coach Simon Parrott, and breakout performer Dean Henwood. But of the four teams fighting out this year’s finals series - Cardinia, Merinda Park, Kooweerup and Tooradin - the Gulls have the most upside. Tom Hussey has scored runs for fun all season with 650 at an average of 50, to be exact. But there’s a mountain of improvement left in Aaron Avery and Cal O’Hare. It could only take one of these three to fire and spark Tooradin into another grand final.

They might be all smiles on the eve of the 2014/15 WGCA Premier division finals campaign, but this weekend means war for Merinda Park skipper Danny Diwell, Tooradin s Tom Hussey, Cardinia s Neil Barfuss, and last year s premiership winning captain Michael Giles from Kooweerup. 135748 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT But the Bulls have been running rampant for too long now. We’re tipping them to knock off the Gulls in the semis for the second time in as many seasons and advance to another decider. MERINDA PARK v KOOWEERUP MANY pundits had Merinda Park missing out on a finals berth this season, and that includes this reporter. It seemed losing Jarrod Armitage, Matt Grayson and - at the time - Dylan Cuthbertson would be too

much for the boys from the Snake Pit to overcome. But there was plenty of venom left in the side, and Cuthbertson’s return in the second half of the season has made a huge impact (200 runs at average of 40, to go along with 20 wickets at 13.9). Daniel McCalman has stepped up with the bat in Grayson’s absence, but it’s the Cobras’ all-rounders who provide such an impressive and varied arsenal of weapons. But Kooweerup is a team built

for the finals. Opening batsmen Chris O’Hara and Michael Giles have both struggled with their consistency throughout the season, but each of them has shown enough in recent weeks to suggest they could again be difference-makers when it counts. And it was only three rounds ago when the Bright twins - John and Ron Jr - tore through the Cobras’ batting line-up. These Demons thrive on finals pressure, and it’s mainly for this reason we’re tipping them in a nail-biter.

found his peak form at the right moment - rattling through the Brighton top order alongside Rizan Mawzoon (1/12). Only one partnership ever threatened the Bulls - the stand between Andrew Martin (34 not out) and Jack Lees (20) - but it was quickly unravelled by Mevan Fernando (2/22) to finish off the visitors’ tail approaching the completion. Chipping in up and down the order, the Bulls smashed their way to victory within 30 overs as Sanjeewa de Silva (36) and Fernando (22) led the charge to the finals. Noble Park’s 2013/14 premiership defence will start in earnest this week against Ormond away.

A Cavalier’s return By JARROD POTTER

Lucas Sagi can't wait to run out in a Saints' jumper of a different kind this footy season. 135821 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT

Saints required to come marching in By RUSSELL BENNETT HE LIVES just a short distance from Beaconsfield’s St Francis Xavier campus, he loves his footy, and he’s a St Kilda Fan. Lucas Sagi and the St Francis Xavier Saints FIDA team are a match made in heaven. Beaconsfield’s newest footy club will play in Division 3 of the Football Integration Development Association (FIDA) competition in 2015. They’ve got a team, they’ve got a jumper, and they’ve got a home. Now all they need is more players. Lucas, a lifelong Saints fan, is counting down the days until the Saints’ first official training session on 25 March. It’s hard to imagine anyone more passionate about their footy than him, but he hasn’t had the chance to play in an organised team since he was at the Emerson School. “A friend of mine said if you don’t have the passion, there’s no way the game is going to live up to expectations - and he’s right,” Lucas said. “I train on Mondays and Wednesdays for two to three hours at a time.” Lucas mainly practices in-game situations, to be as prepared as possible for his debut game for the Saints. He can’t understand why anyone would come along to a Saints training session and not want to get involved with the great game of Aussie Rules. “It doesn’t matter how big you are, or how old you are,” he said. “There’s no point going to have a look and just forgetting about it. “There’s a talent in every one of us!” Lucas doesn’t care where he plays on the ground, he just wants to have a crack. The new St Francis Xavier team is the brainchild of Paddy and Jen McKenna, who’ve been heavily involved in the local footy landscape for years. They’ve had nothing but support from the local community, councils and AFL Victoria along the way in setting up the new club. The team isn’t just for people with a disability - it’s for anyone who feels they don’t necessarily fit into the mainstream football community. The Saints’ first training session will be from 5.30 to 6.30pm on Wednesday, 25 March at Beaconsfield’s St Francis Xavier campus. For more information, call club coach Simon Van Dam on 0438 345 009.

RETURNING to his long-time basketball home for the BIG V pre-season tournament - after making an off-season switch to play with the Casey Cavaliers - proved a little strange for Brent Hobba. For one, it was in different colours to what the nine-year Rangers’ veteran was accustomed to. After nine seasons and a SEABL championship in 2013, the relentless Australia-wide SEABL travel was too much for 33-year-old Hobba who lives in Ferntree Gully. He wanted to remain closer to home and wife Amanda - a basketball star in her own right - about to give birth to their second child. For the 205cm forward/centre it was time to put family first and focus on sinking treys and snaring rebounds locally. “Really weird… didn’t think I’d ever leave the club, but it’s nice to be playing back here (in Dandenong),” Hobba said on Monday.

“My wife is due in a couple of weeks and I know Stew (coach Stewart Baird) and a few of the guys on the team… really good mates… and having two kids it would have been really hard doing SEABL and road trips. “I really wanted to keep playing, but I didn’t think SEABL was really an option… it’s nice to have somewhere to play close to work.” The Cranbourne East Secondary College teacher had plied his craft with the Perth Wildcats and South Dragons before switching to the SEABL to play for Dandenong Rangers and will now add another dimension to the Cavaliers roster in their first year in Division 1. “It’s been really welcoming and we’ve improved a lot over the weekend and the last couple of weeks, made some huge steps and hope we can keep doing that,” Hobba said. Hobba’s Cavaliers kick off their BIG V Division 1 campaign against Melbourne University on Saturday.

Starting from the bottom - but looking up HAMPTON PARK BOWLS IT HAS been an outstanding year for Hampton Park Saturday pennant bowlers with two teams promoted, but it came to an end at Heathmont this week with both Division 2 and Division 4 playing in the Metropolitan Pennant quarter finals. Division 2 played the more experienced Ivanhoe, and only went down by nine shots. Shane Hardy, Mark Paton, Larry Simpson and Zak Storm turned around last week’s loss to be the only winning rink 24-12. Mort Smith, Neville Hendrie, Sean McDonald and Ken Cobden just lost 14-16, Steve Barnes, Chris Hendrie, Andrew Brandolin and Warwick Hardy lost 15-19 but Geoff Ampt, John Nunan, Shannon Micallef and Shane Collins were out bowled to lose 14-29. Results: Ivanhoe (1) 76 d Hampton Park (1) 67. Division 4, also at Heathmont played MCC/Kew Sports. Aaron Ottaway, Tracey Storm, Denise Eastick and Helen Lambert were down 10-21 with three ends to play, but scored 14 to 0 to win on the last end 24-21. But sadly Chris

Girls are reaching out

Danielle - one of the 50 or so Falcons' recruits thumps a long, driving punt during training last Thursday.

Coach Mark Haughton has instilled more than just possessions and goals in the Falcons' mindset ahead of the VWFL season. 135442 Pictures: JARROD POTTER

FOOTBALL is only one aspect for the newly formed Endeavour Hills Women’s Football Club. It seems an odd thing to say but under the direction of Beehive Foundation founder Mark Haughton - who is the coach of the inaugural Falcons’ team - Endeavour Hills wants to pursue more than just on-field success in 2015. Outreach is critical - junior female football development was one of the first steps the club took even before their first match and the other key tenant of Falcons’ football will be community service with the elderly - whether cutting lawns, cooking meals or just giving them company. Their community-minded focus and attention to personal development has seen the Falcons’ ranks balloon beyond 50 players, allowing Haughton and his team - including three assistant coaches Josh Downes, Marcus Kleinhardt

and Nick Buxton - to expand to two teams this season. “Footy is much more than playing on a Sunday,” Haughton said. It affects everything that you do and all the girls have plugged into this mindset.” It’s an amazing effort for a new team to generate such interest, but it all comes down to the player-first attitude at Endeavour Hills. “One of the girls brought a girl from work - she was a first-timer - and she couldn’t believe how comfortable she felt here, so she brought another and a whole bunch of new girls have come down,” Haughton said. “That’s what it’s all about - I love watching the girls develop as footballers. “Just really proud - I’m excited to give this many women an opportunity to play footy and coming into the club, just to be able to do something great for the community is really thrilling.” Even though they’re not

solely footy minded, Haughton admits the natural competitors among the group are keen to hit the ground running this season and hopefully chalk up a few wins en route to the finals. “You’ll ask the girls and they say they want to play finals - which is what you want to hear as a coach - but the realistic goal is that we create an inclusive culture that people will knock on our door next season to join us,” Haughton said. The club has practice matches against Cranbourne and Rosebud on the last weekend of March, before it kicks off its first VWFL campaign on Sunday 19 April with Division 3 away at Bayswater while the East Division team faces AFL Gippsland. The club is seeking sponsorship for its teams and players. For more information about Endeavour Hills WFC, contact coach Mark Haughton on endeavourhillswomen@ hotmail.com or 0452 205 929.

�� Reviews and news…

Polestar leads the way By EWAN KENNEDY POLESTAR is Volvo’s high-performance division. These Swedish rockets began as a pilot project in Australia in 2011 and the first 50 cars were all allocated to this country. That was a thank you for the work done by Australian as well as Swedish engineers and drivers. Polestar hit the ground running in the V8 Supercar series in 2014 and, despite a shaky start to this year, looks to be on the verge of a successful season in 2015. Volvo planned to develop a performance car for real life, one that performs on all roads, in all conditions, all year around. Though we didn’t manage any track work during our week with the new S60 Polestar we certainly found it works well in real life road conditions. Even if these were in the plus-30 degree range, not the minus-40 something sometimes found in Sweden. The test vehicle, an S60 sedan, tips the sticker scales at $99,990, plus onroad costs, while the V60 Polestar is $102,990. Both cars are manufactured at the Volvo factory in Torslanda, Sweden. Extensive wind tunnel testing has resulted in a revised rear spoiler for the sedan and an all-new roof spoiler for

The upgraded for 2015 Volvo Polestar is now available as a station wagon, the V60. Previously all were S60 sedans. the wagon, both aimed at increasing downforce and high-speed stability. Our Rebel Blue test car rode on distinctive 20-inch Polestar rims shod with Michelin Pilot super sport 245/35ZR20 tyres. The drivetrain has been further developed with a new engine management calibration and transmission program to offer the driver greater control over gear selection, faster gearshifts, launch control and curve hold functionality to further improve driving dynamics. In the cabin driver support has been boosted to cope with spirited driving, using perforated leather seats and steering wheel.

Polestar trim has blue contrast stitching, new bespoke sports pedals, and a left foot support highlight. Virtual instrument layout is clear, easy to read and changeable to offer up a range of information to the driver at the push of a steering wheel-mounted button. The Harman Kardon Sensus Connect Premium Sound system had some of the sharpest reproduction we’ve come across in a vehicle. It is brilliantly tuned to the surroundings. The six-cylinder turbocharged engine produces 257 kW at just 5250rpm and 500 Nm at 3000 rpm, the latter is

pleasingly low for a high-performance engine. There’s a new design full-flow 2.5inch stainless steel active exhaust system, with 3.5-inch tailpipes that have been revised to reduce exhaust back pressure. The latter results in a rorty tone under full acceleration, more about that in a moment. Volvo S60 Polestar races from rest to 100 km/h in less than five seconds to the tune of the most glorious symphonic sound, the result of a redesigned full flow 2.5-inch stainless steel active exhaust system, with 3.5-inch tail pipes, designed to reduce exhaust back pressure. Top speed is a regulated 250 km/h should you happen to be in the Northern Territory. The car pulls up from 100 km/h to a standstill in just 34 metres thanks to bespoke Brembo six-piston brake calipers and sporty ABS settings. Ohlins Polestar shock absorbers,

and the latest generation Haldex allwheel drive system, has been tuned for the Polestar. Electro-hydraulic power-assisted steering, electronic stability control and advanced stability control are equal to the sporting intent. Fuel efficiency is varied, with our S60 Polestar sipping an average of just 6.9 litres of petrol per 100 kilometres while cruising the motorway but gulping almost 20 litres per 100 in cramped city conditions. Ouch! Rear leg room is ample with average height front seat occupants in place. However, the coupe-style profile of the sedan, with its steeply raked rear window, leaves rear seat occupants at the mercy of a hot summer sun. While the boot is deep from front to back, it is lacking in height. Both rear seat backs fold almost flat to accommodate long objects. The latest edition of the Volvo Polestar is no hard-riding track-day special and we would be happy to use one as a daily commuter. The availability of a station wagon is a real bonus. Model range S60 Polestar 3.0-litre four-door sedan: $99,990 (automatic) V60 Polestar 3.0-litre five-door wagon: $102,990 (automatic)
