A POLICEMAN has had his legs crushed after a teenager allegedly drove into him and pinned the officer between two cars in Cranbourne over the weekend. The victim was released from hospital but will likely require physiotherapy after sustaining significant leg bruising. A 15-year-old and 16-yearold from Carrum Downs, and a 15-year-old from Dandenong, were remanded in custody following the attempted getaway, while a 13-year-old from Narre Warren was released on bail. The incident happened after two officers patrolling the area in a brawler van pulled over the four teens in an allegedly stolen car in High Street, Cranbourne, just before 3pm on Saturday. When one of the officers walked towards the car, the teenage driver attempted to drive around the police van and a parked truck and hit the policeman in his lower legs, pinning him against the van. The second officer rushed to help his partner by smashing the back window of the stolen car with his baton, attempting to get the teen driver to take his foot off the accelerator. The truck driver also rushed to help hold the injured officer up while he was pinned and provided him with medical assistance. After the second policeman broke the car’s window three of the teens inside fled the vehicle and ran off, while the fourth boy was unable to get out and was arrested at the scene. The second officer got back

in the police van and drove forward, unpinning his colleague. The other three offenders were all caught later that day and the group has been charged with reckless conduct endangering life, serious assaulting police, burglary and theft. Senior Constable Craig Chapman, who was on the scene just after the incident, said it “hit home when one of your own is injured.” “You feel that it’s one of your family who has been hurt,” he said. “You have to do business as usual but everyone is affected by it. “You want to catch these people and have them held responsible.” The air wing and canine units were called in during the attempted getaway, while the injured officer was raced to hospital. The policeman is now out of hospital but sustained significant muscle and tendon injuries to his legs and will require treatment. “It was a bit of chaos, the ambulance had just arrived when I got there and he (the injured officer) was in extreme pain at the time, pinned between the two vehicles - lots of civilians were affected by it,” Sen Const Chapman said. “It was in the middle of the day so there were people who witnessed the member being pinned.” It’s understood the policemen involved and the truck driver will later this year be formally recognised by Victoria Police for their bravery during the incident.

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH A USED syringe was found on the front lawn of a home in Lynbrook leaving residents disgusted. Home to 22-year-old Demi Atkinson, her grandmother and baby cousin, Ms Atkinson said they were shocked and concerned the syringe was left right on their doorstep. “It’s scary and disgusting to know they were on my front lawn and obviously there’s no respect for the neighbours and the broader community,” Ms Atkinson said. The used syringe was found with its cap on in Silver Creek Drive around 10am on Sunday 21 June. Ms Atkinson believes the syringe was left on her property for several hours before she found it. “I was out between 8.30pm and midnight on Saturday and was alerted to it by my friends as my foot landed two centimetres away from it. “A few kids live just a couple of doors down – it’s concerning, my nanna, friends or I could have stepped on it and we often have my small cousins over running around,” she said. After another brush with drugs outside her home in February this year, Ms Atkinson said her street was conveniently tucked away for such behaviour. “It’s a no through road and it’s quite isolated, I think they chose it because no-one can see them. “I witnessed a drug deal outside my home, I stayed in my car in the driveway and pretended I was on the phone, one of the drivers got into the other car and you could tell they were passing things to each

other, and I noticed one of them smoking a pipe,” she said. Ms Atkinson posted a photo of the syringe on the ‘Lynbrook Social Page’ on Facebook and received more than 35 comments from residents – many thanking her for the alert. “As a community, we are all looking out for each other, that’s why I joined the page and the fact everyone was so concerned is a good thing and that they are now aware of what’s going on,” Ms Atkinson said. The post online prompted a discussion about the possibility of the syringe being left by a diabetic, but Ms Atkinson disagrees. “I wouldn’t think a diabetic would chuck it on the ground like that and not dispose of it in an appropriate manner, and considering I have seen a drug deal go down out the front of my house and the fact that no-one in my home has diabetes I find it odd that it would be a diabetics syringe,” she said. Ms Atkinson called the City of Casey to get the syringe removed and hopes she never sees one again so close to home. “It just makes you think what’s going to happen next and especially with the break-ins that have been happening in the area lately, its very concerning,” Ms Atkinson said. Statistics for 2014/’15 from the City of Casey reveal the council will dispose of more than 400 extra sharp containers compared to 2013/’14 statistics. The council has collected and disposed of 735 syringes discarded in public places in the past 12 months up to May 2015.

No help here By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CASEY Council has refused to endorse – or give reasons why it doesn’t support – a multi-council campaign for more federal funding to support 800 asylum seekers living in its community. Twenty councils, led by neighbouring Greater Dandenong, have endorsed a joint statement calling for more funding for aid, statistics, social inclusion, services’ co-ordination, housing and education for asylum seekers. According to a statement from Greater Dandenong council, the provision of asylum seeker services is increasingly falling on councils and community groups. There is a “genuine risk” that asylum seeker programs will fail to meet the needs – if demand for resources continues to grow, the statement said. Casey community strengthening manager Janette Green said the council had discussed the joint statement and would not join the campaign. It instead “resolved to take action” and wrote in January to the Immigration and Border

Protection Minister Peter Dutton and his department secretary for more support for asylum seekers living in Casey. “Council will continue to advocate for more effective resources and co-ordination at the Federal, State and local government levels to support asylum seekers.” A council spokesman said he couldn’t elaborate on why the council decided not to join the other councils’ campaign because the discussion was held in a closed meeting. Casey deputy mayor Louise Berkelmans told a council Refugee Week forum last Wednesday that asylum seekers and refugees had complex settlement needs. She said the week’s ‘With courage let us all combine’ theme was a “call for unity and positive action” to make a more welcoming and inclusive community. “There are still many opportunities to work together and do better.” The joint statement’s spearhead Greater Dandenong councillor Roz Blades

said she didn’t know why Casey had opted out. “Unless they think they’re doing all right on their own... I really can’t say anything to that.” She vowed to “stay with it” after presenting the joint statement to federal MP and social services assistant minister Mitch Fifield this month. Cr Blades said her hope was that extra funding would be provided in next year’s Federal Budget. “I’m reasonably confident because I’m really good at nagging.” Greater Dandenong sought to present and discuss the statement with Immigration Minister Peter Dutton in Canberra last week but was unable to get an appointment. The statement was also presented to Isaacs MP and opposition attorney-general Mark Dreyfus who will raise the matter in Parliament on 22 June. Senator Fifield said he advised the council that the government provided funding for a range of support services for migrants and refugees living in the community.

Two hooded raiders strike POLICE are hunting two armed and balaclava-clad crooks who raided a mini-mart in Endeavour Hills. The offenders entered the James Cook Drive store with weapons at 9.16pm on Satur-

day 6 June and stole property before running out and heading towards a park at the back of the shop. Both were wearing black balaclavas, black pants, dark hooded tops and black shoes.

One of the offenders was also wearing white socks. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

HEAD OFFICE:

Writing’s on the wall IT is pointless Casey council continuing on with their graffiti abatement program if they are not going to ensure the timely removal of reported graffiti. Reports of the same graffiti take months and multiple reports before removal, and it is extremely frustrating to see what was possibly Australia’s most successful graffiti abatement program being reduced to an expensive, slow removal service, offering little deterrent to this crime. May I suggest the 1000 plus staff at Casey be recruited to report graffiti, and monitor its timely removal. No point going overseas to seek out answers on graffiti when our policy has become ineffective simply because it is not being monitored efficiently by council and our elected representatives. Don’t believe me Casey council, then don’t attack the messenger... consider enlisting your staff, community groups and locals to report graffiti, and have them tell you how it is not removed, sometimes for months, and only after numerous reports. Steve Beardon, Cranbourne.

Court out I REFER to the letters Deficit Of Ideas and Court In The Act from Mr Glazebrook and Mr Richardson respectively (Berwick News, 18 June). Both of these letters have a deficit of reality. Does Mr Glazebrook really expect people to believe that the City of Casey has a $84 million budget surplus? The reality is that accrual accounting standards require the budget to be presented in this way - it is a surplus from operating which is then largely spent on capital works. In fact, council aims for a balanced budget and the surplus in the draft budget for 2015’16 is just $99. And Mr Richardson seems to have trouble distinguishing between the police and council as well as recalling the basic facts. It was the police who arrested him in 2012 and subsequently charged him with trespassing and resisting arrest - not council. At the time he was not a councillor, as he claims, but agitating from the public gallery. The charges were not dropped as he claims, but he was placed on the diversion scheme and required to apologise for his actions. His actions were partly the cause of Mr Richardson being stripped of his previous JP status. It was also the police who sought the intervention order from the court this year - not council. Cr Mick Morland, Mayor, City of Casey.

Mayor congratulates the calibre of creations SOME of Casey’s most creative and artistic young people were recognised at the 2015 Casey Creations Youth Arts Competition awards ceremony on 11 June. Council announced the winners of the six categories, presented a number of merit and encouragement awards and acknowledged all the wonderful entries received as part of the annual arts and photography competition. City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland said the calibre and number of entries received this year was a great reflection of the artistic talent on offer in Casey. “This is the 14th anniversary of the competition and it is an important part of council’s commitment to celebrating the amazing talents of young people from across the municipality. “Council has received more than 3100 artworks as part of this competition since it was introduced. “This year’s judges were once again overwhelmed by the quality and diversity of the 400 submissions, which was the

ible talents of our young people. “I’d like to congratulate each one of the entrants for their efforts, their willingness to participate, and for sharing their artistic vision with us,” Cr Morland said.

Biosphere’s tipping point By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE rapidly-advancing urban sprawl is tipping the ecological and economic balance in the UNESCO-branded Western Port Biosphere, the region’s foundation has reported. Western Port Biosphere Foundation’s chairman Duncan Malcolm last week unveiled its first “pilot” report card since the biosphere reserve was designated in 2002 for its “exceptional ecological values on the fringe of an expanding city”. He stated in the report that the region had been a “focus of significant expansion” of the urban growth boundary. The subsequent loss of farmland was creating “pressures” on traditional agriculture and could change the “economic balance” as well as biodiversity, Mr Duncan wrote. “With the loss of arable land to housing within the biosphere, we are losing valuable food production capacity on the fringe of ... the huge metropolitan Melbourne population centre.” Mr Malcolm also warned of the impacts of substantial dredging if the proposed Port of Hastings expansion went ahead. The region, which covers the land, air and water surrounding Western Port, French and Phillip islands, recently passed UNESCO’s 10-year review. It comprises parts of Frankston, Casey, Cardinia, Bass Coast councils and the entire Mornington Peninsula shire. Each of the member councils had plans to reduce carbon emissions such as renewable energy for council buildings and energy-efficient street lighting, the report card stated. At the report card launch, Mr Malcolm said the next report would look closely at how many biosphere residents worked close to home. In Casey just 24 per cent of biosphere residents worked within the area; in Cardinia that figure was 29 per cent. Mr Malcolm posed the question:

Mick Morland, Duncan Malcolm and Cardinia mayor Graeme Moore at the Western Port Biosphere report card launch. 140653 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS what would be the impact if an extra 10 per cent of residents worked in the biosphere? “Whilst recognising and valuing the differences and individuality of each council ... there are values common to everyone,” Mr Malcolm said.

“We have an opportunity to work together as a region to protect and conserve, while also fostering a vibrant economy and a rich social fabric.” Cardinia Cr David Young told the launch that the foundation and councils had to “engage with the broader community ... that reside in this ter-

rific environment.” “Where we’ll make the biggest change won’t be the cultural change (already occurring) in the council ... the most significant change is with the broader community.” Casey mayor Mick Morland said

just 7 per cent of native vegetation remained in the municipality. In response, the council was planting 100,000 items of native flora each year and reducing pest plants on the Western Port shores and Cardinia Creek.

Ward forum has Casey career criminals in its sights cillors during a meeting earlier this year. Each forum will encourage residents from that particular ward to come forward and discuss a number of common crime concerns in Casey, including family violence, hoon driving, theft from cars and the prevalence of ice. Insp Breen hopes “hundreds” of people will attend each forum. “We had to make it more local. I went to the councillors and had a workshop in my office, and we discussed that we need to be more front and centre,” he said.

“As far as I’m aware, it’s the first of its kind.” Asked whether he envisaged running the ward forums annually, Insp Breen said crime prevention and the safety of the community was an “ongoing discussion”. “It’s not just a one off, and you walk away from it,” he said. “Casey is an outstanding municipality, a great place to work but, like all things, we can’t become nonchalant and complacent. “There’s crime groups that are preying on our young.

The first will be held in Edrington on 22 July and the second forum will be held in the Four Oaks Ward, which takes in Endeavour Hills, in August. The City of Casey is believed to be the first municipality to trial the separate forums. Police Local Area Commander Inspector Paul Breen broached the idea with all 11 coun-

Campaign rolls out By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A NEW family violence campaign seeking to raise awareness in local schools was launched in Berwick last week, the day after damning statistics revealed Casey had the highest number of reported family incidents in the state. Family Violence Prevention Minister Fiona Richardson joined Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley at Kambrya College to launch the Say NO to Family Violence campaign on Friday, where students were informed of the harrowing family violence figures in Casey for the last year, according to the latest Crime Statistics Agency report. “Tragically, in the City of Casey, we see the highest recorded number of family violence incidents of any local government area - 3759 incidents of family violence were recorded just in the last 12 months in the City of Casey,” Ms Richardson told the room. “That’s nearly 4000 families torn apart by violence, just here in your local community, and just over the last 12 months.” Ms Graley, who presented Kambrya principal Michael Muscat with a special book at the launch, plans to roll out the campaign across many Casey schools and community organisations. “We thought a little bit about where we should start, and we thought schools are great because the kids are all there and so in many ways it’s an easy start but it’s an appropriate beginning as well,” Ms Graley said. Emphasising why a family violence campaign for schools was so important, Ms Richardson said statistics had also revealed 1200 children in Casey had witnessed family

The City of Casey recorded the highest number of family violence incidents of any Local Government Area in Victoria.

Family Prevention Minister Fiona Richardson, centre, Kambrya College prinicpal Michael Muscat, and Naureen Choudhry were among the guests. violence in the last year. “And I understand the impact of family violence on children, I am one of those, now adults, whose life was impacted by family violence in a very significant way,” Ms Richardson said. “And can I say to those children, or young adults, who are here that may be impacted, it’s important to speak out. “It’s important to speak to your colleagues, it’s important to speak to your friends, it’s important to speak to your school leaders and your teachers about what you’re experiencing because they can help you. “You’re not alone, you’re not isolated, there are people that do care about you and do want to help. “It’s important that you take that step.”

Indeed, it appears the children from Kambrya have already been talking to their teachers and peers about the issue. As part of the new campaign, the Kambrya students have been encouraged to create banners, promoting the initiative, and in the process have discussed the issue regularly with art teacher Deborah Russo, who at the launch admitted she had not known the extent of the damning Casey statistics. “I was unaware going into my classroom, but became aware as I was talking to children about family violence,” she said. “With questions about what happens in the future and how do you relate to people who have been violent to you, and those sorts of things I found quite a heavy thing for me to

deal with in the classroom. “But then the students got their head around it, we listened to a few performing artists, their music ... .on a website with people who had been exposed to family violence as young people. “Then the students went about making their own drawings, then we collaboratively looked around at all the work that we’d done. “People chose what they liked, what they thought was powerful. “It’s created a conversation that now has actually put me closer to the group of students that I’m dealing with.” For more information, visit www.facebook.com/saynotofamily violenceinnarrewarrensouth?ref=hl.

Clyde calls for cops as crime goes crazy By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A 60 PER CENT increase in the total number of criminal offences recorded in Clyde has reignited calls for a police station in the suburb. According to the latest Crime Statistics Agency report released last Thursday, the total number of reported offences has risen from 273 in 2013/14, to 447 a year later. That represents a 63.7 per cent rise. This week Clyde Village Store owner Tracey O’Brien said a police station in the suburb was “necessary” due to the continuing population boom, underlined by an ever-burgeoning number of housing estates. “As it stands at the moment, with all the new estates and grow-

ing population, resources haven’t grown with it,” Ms O’Brien, who has lived in Clyde for the last three years, said. “We’re paying the same rates as those in Cranbourne and we don’t have all the resources they have, and that includes police resources.” Her comments come after Casey Councillor Amanda Stapledon in March pushed for council to write to Police Minister Wade Noonan and Shadow Minister Edward O’Donohue to investigate the viability of setting up a police station in Clyde. Meanwhile during a Police Association rally in Berwick last year, Secretary Ron Iddles called for an additional 155 first-response officers for Casey over the next five

years, as well as a new 24-hour police station in Casey to cater for the municipality’s population growth. Shadow Police Minister Edward O’Donohue said the latest statistics for Clyde reinforced the issue. “What was in effect a quiet country town is being rapidly transformed into part of urban Melbourne and in the past few years has thousands of people moving in,” he said. When he spoke to the News last week Mr O’Donohue questioned whether additional police would be funded for in Melbourne’s southeast under the new government, noting the recent State Budget had only committed to additional police in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula, outside its proposed custody officer program.

This week Mr O’Donohue cited the latest crime statistics, which also indicated a rise in recorded offences of 25.4 per cent for Berwick, 14.7 per cent for Narre Warren, 24 per cent for Narre Warren North and 18.2 per cent for Cranbourne. The government did not respond to new questions from the News this week in relation to the latest statistics and the recent recorded offences rise in Clyde. But on the topic of a police station in Clyde, Police Minister Wade Noonan said in May that the government would work closely with police when investigating the potential need for a new facility. He said the government wouldn’t “impose” stations on police that “may not be required.”

Cracking whip on violence By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE City of Casey has the highest number of reported family violence incidents of any Local Government Area (LGA) in the state, according to the latest Crime Statistics Agency report released last Thursday. From April 2014 to March 2015, there were 3759 family incidents reported in Casey compared to 3636 in the same period a year earlier - the most of any LGA, followed by Greater Geelong with 2975. Across Victoria, there was an 8.2 per cent rise in recorded family related incidents, with 69,442 cases reported in the state. Meanwhile, the total number of recorded offences in Casey rose by almost 12.9 per cent in the past year, with 18,122 incidents reported in Casey compared to 16,056 in the same period a year earlier. But Casey police Acting Local Area Commander Inspector John Felton said part of the rise could be attributed to more active policing, particularly when it came to family violence incidents. “In context, some of it is police generated, for instance our police response to family violence and breaching orders, when a breach is detected, is up about 70 per cent,” he said. “We’ve changed the way we do family violence... there’s no place in our community for family violence, but reporting has to be seen as a positive because it’s no longer being hidden. “The fact is we’ve got a dedicated family violence unit in Casey targeting recidivist offenders and that’s one of the drivers in the increase in reported breaches.” Insp Felton also expressed concern at a roughly 18 per cent increase in thefts across Casey, citing theft from cars as a particular bug-bear for local police. “We’re up 18 per cent or thereabout for thefts... the key drivers are number plate theft and theft from motor vehicles,” he said. “It’s extremely disappointing. Obviously, a number of those vehicles have been unlocked and the other thing is a lot of people are leaving valuables in cars. “It’s a very opportunistic crime.” The Crime Statistics Agency was introduced this year, and has taken over the role that was previously handled by Victoria Police following calls for an independent body to be set up to stop the potential misuse of data by police and governments. 1189584-LB26-15

Forum drives to zero By GEORGIA WESTGARTH EVERY two hours a person is killed or hospitalised on Victorian roads, and last week Casey residents spoke out on the scourge. Road safety experts and Casey residents discussed ways to reduce Victoria’s road toll to zero a part of the State Government’s Toward Zero initiative. On Wednesday 17 June more than 70 people accepted the government’s invitation to a sit down talk and brainstorm on the increasing road toll. The Towards Zero campaign aims to bring the road toll down to 200 in 2020 from 249 last year. On the night, Minister for Road Safety Luke Donnellan compared the 1061 deaths in 1970 to today’s data and said there had been significant improvements. “We have dealt with drink driving to seat belts but need to bring the community along with us if we want to beat 249 deaths on our roads,” he said. A record low in 2013 of 243 deaths means the road toll has increased by 2.5 per cent and Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Richard Hill said that figure was going the wrong way. “We’ve got to have safer drivers, driving safer cars on safer roads and driving at safer speeds,” he explained to the crowd of 75. Mr Hill identified three key areas of concern - vulnerable people including motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians, P-plate drivers and older drivers, roads that pose greater risks such as rural roads and drivers that take more risks including drink and drug drivers. Residents expressed their con-

cerns to road safety expert David Healey, director of Road Safety Strategy at VicRoads Antonietta Cavallo and Mr Hill in a question-andanswer session. Nancy Gardiner from Road Safe South East asked the panel members what they are going to do about older drivers’ road rule knowledge. “I want to see more road safety forums in local areas, many of the older drivers that attend my programs aren’t aware the older driver handbook is even available, and don’t know all the things they need to know to be driving on the road,” she said. Ruth from Fit to Drive was concerned that the general public was equipped with inaccurate statistics and information and felt that this was causing them to disregard road rules. “The level of awareness is missing from the community,” she said. One male participant asked where the Department of Justice was on the panel and got a roaring response from the crowd, saying many people feel the system is letting them down. Another item raised was the issue of teenage awareness in road safety. “What are you doing to get 18 to 25-year-olds engaged - given their impact of 20 per cent in road trauma,” they asked. Mr Hill discussed the sadness he faced every day when he was told of another death on Victorian roads and said issues such as an ageing population, growth in the freight industry, technology and the drug ice were key hurdles. “The reality is police can’t keep up with ice-affected drivers, and if I pulled up every driver I saw using

Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Richard Hill discusses safety concerns with locals. 140718 a mobile phone I wouldn’t get to work,” he said. Ms Cavallo from VicRoads enlightened the crowd on just how dangerous driving is. “Driving is the simplest, most risky activity we take on every day and we want to share our findings with the public more of-

ten,” Ms Cavallo said. After question time, panel members discussed ideas and concerns with people individually. “If Victoria matched the performance of the world’s best countries now, we would have 80 fewer deaths on our roads every year,” Mr Donnellan said.

A CRANBOURNE West industrial area is a step closer to being rezoned for housing. City of Casey councillor Gary Rowe met with Planning Minister Richard Wynne on 3 June to ask him to reconsider zoning for an 800 metre parcel along the Westernport Highway. He presented a petition signed by more than 730 people from the neighbouring 900 properties who are concerned about trucks and warehouses being so close to their homes. “We had a very favourable meeting with the minister and the minister has indicated that he will be coming to Cranbourne to visit Cranbourne West and then make a decision or recommendation to us after that,” Cr Rowe said. “The only thing he could say was in the next two to three weeks. “He was very attentive and receptive to what we had to say. All we can do is just let him come out. “It’s highly unusual for a minister to come out as quickly as that. “We’re very, very pleased with the fact that he’s seen fit to do so.” In May Cr Rowe said sales in the abutting estates had declined since word about the neighbouring industrial zone spread and that industrial sales had been unsuccessful. “Every one of them, without fail, said ‘we won’t go there - we don’t want the potential conflict with residential neighbours’,” he said. Ray Walker was at a meeting about the zoning in February and has since become involved with the Save Cranbourne West Action Group. SCWAG has installed signs in the paddocks at Hall Road and Westernport Highway condemning industrial development and collected signatures on a petition. “We bought on the basis that what we looked at was going to be residential,” Mr Walker said.

Nida’s thirst for life By CASEY NEILL CRANBOURNE’S Nida Iqbal has constantly sought more from life and wants other refugees to have the chance to do the same. Her father was executed without knowing his daughter existed. Her mother wasn’t even aware of the life they had created when she lost the man she loved - targeted because he supported education and was born a Hazara. “Hazara killings have always been very common in Afghanistan,” Nida said. “They want ethnic cleansing and in ethnic cleansing Hazaras always come first because they’re the minority.” Nida’s mother – a Pashtun, one of the largest ethnic groups in Afghanistan - married her late husband’s younger brother, breaking social expectations for a second time. “In 1989 we fled Afghanistan because we just couldn’t be there anymore and the war was getting pretty bad,” Nida said. “My stepdad fled first, to Pakistan, and then after that we came.” “We” included Nida, her dad’s sister, her mum, and her 40-day-old baby sister. “We fled in the back of trucks full of bombs and hand grenades,” she said. “We were sitting on the top of them. It was a pretty horrifying journey. “I was eight years old.” There was little room to breathe or move. “I still remember really horrific scenes where we had to hide,” she said. “Once in a while you would peek up to get some oxygen or see how far you are and these are very mountainous areas where there are huge jumps. “It took us about two and a half weeks to get through to Pakistan because we could only journey through the night.” They had to start their lives from zero, with a new language and culture. “My mum and dad were both teachers in Pakistan in local schools, schools for Afghan refugees in Quetta,” Nida said. “Life started settling a little bit but we always knew that it was not home and worried ‘what will happen when the Pakistan Government actually starts pushing Afghans to go back home?’ “We knew that we would never be able to go back to Afghanistan. “I have never been back. “When you’re very traumatised like my family is, it’s not home anymore. “Apart from a very big fear you don’t have any other attachment.” Her youngest sister, born in Pakistan in 1994, wants to see where her parents came from.

Nida Iqbal had never heard of Australia when her family decided to make it their home. 138933 Pictures: ROB CAREW

Nida and her husband Shahid work side by side. 138933 “People go and come back alive. People go and never come back,” Nida said. “I don’t know what the distinction is. I wouldn’t want to go back. I don’t think it’s safe.” Nida and her family lived in Pakistan until 1998. “Our life was pretty normal. It had ups and downs of poverty and living below the line, but it was OK,” she said. “When the Taliban came into power in Afghanistan they, basically, stopped education and work for girls and women in Afghanistan. “Being from a family that really valued education, it really affected me.”

She made a presentation on the issue at her school. “It was published in the media and then I was threatened to be killed with my family,” she said. “I was just 18. “We left everything behind and went to Islamabad, which is the capital city of Pakistan.” They told the United Nations their story. The organisation moved them from hotel to hotel and lodged applications for refuge with Canada and Australia. “Of course we had heard of Canada but never Australia,” Nida said. “We landed in Melbourne on 26 November 1998.

“I remember one of the first things I said to mum was ‘what if there was a war there? Where would we go? We can’t even swim’. “I was so used to fleeing from one border to another border, never having consistency in life.” They again started from zero. “At least when we went to Pakistan the culture was very similar,” she said. They stayed with an Afghan family. “I remember my mum would not sleep during the nights,” Nida said. “She would make sure she slept during the day and guard us during the night so nothing would happen to us.” They moved into their own home on Warrigal Road in Cheltenham, “in the middle of nowhere”. “We had no transport. We had no English whatsoever,” she said. “Those were very hard times. I remember saying to mum a lot of times ‘let’s just go back. What’s the point of being here? When we don’t know anything?’” Nida was 19 but enrolled in Year 10 at South Oakleigh Secondary College. “I was bullied badly at school because I couldn’t speak the language,” she said. “But I guess my concentration was so much on getting my education and doing something that all of that was easy to ignore. “In Year 11 I was awarded the best student of the year from Monash University because I got such good scores. “I finished Year 12 with a 71 ENTER score which wasn’t a lot, but considering I’d only been in school for three years it was pretty good.”

Nida started a Bachelor of International Trade at university in 2002 and met her husband, accountant Shahid. “I suck at economics and maths and I failed maths in Year 12,” she said. “I was in our economics class and we had a test the following day. He always sat at the front of the class.” So Nida and a friend asked him for help at lunchtime. “He helped us and the following morning I sat next to him and I copied everything in his test,” she said. “I got better marks than him in that test!” She started interpreting for an organisation during her studies and fell in love with community development. She started a diploma in community development after completing her degree in 2005 and has been involved in the sector since. “Then I was very interested in assisting families because I could see they were being charged a lot of money to be reunited with their families,” she said. “In 2009 I decided to do my graduate certificate in migration law and practice to be able to help them. In 2010 I got my licence as a migration agent.” Nida gave birth to her daughter, Arooj, in 2011 and just two years later started a law degree with a desire to be able to better represent her clients at her Dandenong agency. “I only study part-time, I’m only – I can’t even say half way there, but getting there slowly,” she said. “I haven’t stopped struggling to make something and I don’t think I will stop. “It makes me so sad that I am so proud of being here and there are so many opportunities that you can grab, yet the current government does not give refugees like myself a chance. “We are not a burden. “We are shattered, we are absolutely broken, but we can do things. “My mum works as a hand-finisher in a bridal gown company. My dad works as a chef in a restaurant. “My sister has just finished university and she’s a beautician, the young one is studying law. “This is a family of five that came to Australia with nothing.” Nida said the immigration system left refugees and asylum seekers hanging, creating depression and anxiety. “In Afghanistan they just get shot or hanged, but in Australia we’re killing them slowly,” she said. “It makes me very angry. “I’m so disappointed that I had this opportunity, my family had this opportunity, yet I am sitting in front of a client who did not have the opportunity. “Sometimes all I can do is cry.”

Problem solving ideas abound after conference By GEORGIA WESTGARTH FOUNTAIN Gate Secondary College students took their ideas to the United States and came home with more. As part of the Future Problem Solving International Conference six Year 9 students had been compiling their ideas since March 2014 but unfortunately didn’t place at the world conference. English teacher Stephen Hughes said the team did an amazing job, sacrificed so much and gave everything they had. “The competition from other teams all around the world really was very tough, the judges did comment that the standard

was such that teams that did not place would have won in previous years,” Mr Hughes said. Mr Hughes said the judging was quite technical. “The students need to know their area of concern, underlying problem and need to be able to communicate that to the judges effectively. “I think one of our problems was that our project was so vast that it became difficult to encapsulate the entire scope of what was achieved in simple terms,” he said. The team of five girls and one boy chose to solve the problem of student disengagement and looked at ways of improving the way career education is

taught in high schools. Mr Hughes said regardless of the result the students got the opportunity to shine in their own way and had all become better public speakers. “They have all grown so much throughout the course of the project, I think the experience has made the students feel lucky they are Australian, America was exciting, but Australia is the best,” he said. The international conference was held at Iowa State University, and the students got the chance to meet and speak with other participants from the US, Korea, Turkey and New Zealand and Mr Hughes said the experience had matured the stu-

dents considerably. “It’s expanded their horizons and taught them to think globally, they have also gained a better understanding of how politics and business work in the real world,” Mr Hughes said. Mr Hughes said this year the judges were looking for a different method. “The Fountain Gate Secondary College team that attended the international conference in 2014 was awarded second place and this year’s team took on a similar approach to them. “This was a surprise, but we live and learn, and it looks like the program will run again next year,” he said.

Man critical after smash A MAN in his thirties was in a critical condition following a two-vehicle crash in Lyndhurst last week. Emergency services were called to the crash between a van and a station wagon at the corner of Thompsons and McCormicks roads at 9.43pm on Wednesday 17 June. An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said the man was trapped in the station wagon with a suspected head injury and lacerations. He was airlifted to The Alfred hospital in a serious condition. His condition was critical but stable, a hospital spokesman said.

Concerted effort to keep out factories By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

E E R F

SCHOOLS, businesses, churches and residents want to ensure factories aren’t allowed to be built next to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne. Currently, the Casey Fields South Precinct Structure Plan is identified as an industrial precinct, and Councillor Geoff Ablett is backing the residents’ concerns. “The surrounding schools don’t want trucks driving past, 750 friends of the gardens don’t want factories near heritagelisted flora and fauna, and we have already identified some other industrial land in Casey near Thompsons Road to substitute this space for factories,” Cr Ablett said. The industrial precinct area is allocated directly opposite the gardens and local homeowners are pushing for the plan to be developed with a residential focus. Cr Ablett wants permission for the City of Casey to produce a precinct structure plan as soon as possible. “The land is a blank canvas at the moment, we hope the Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne, will give us the permission- we just want to surround the whole gardens with homes and trees and push the factories towards Five Ways about two kilometres down the road,” Cr Ablett said.

Rangebank’s own Little India By GEORGIA WESTGARTH CRANBOURNE is home to the first government school in Australia to introduce Hindi into their curriculum for Preps to Grade 6 students. Rangebank Primary School included the compulsory language in 2012 and principal Colin Avery said the program had taken off. “It’s given our students a better understanding of multiculturalism, India and their customs as the Indian population grows in Australia,” Mr Avery said. Hindi was chosen to replace the Auslan (Australian Sign Language) program after the teacher left the school, and Mr Avery said the entire school community had a choice in the decision. “We chose Hindi regardless of the small Indian community at the school and took on board the Asian languages push from the state and federal governments. “We took some parent groups through general discussion; there were quite a few schools teaching Japanese, Indonesian and Mandarin so by doing something a bit different we were hoping it would put Rangebank on the map. When I first arrived, there were people living in Cranbourne that didn’t even know where Rangebank was,” Mr Avery said.

In 2013, former Prime Minister Julia Gillard removed Korean from the list of preferred languages and replaced it with Hindi. Mr Avery said that was the point he knew they were on the right track. Rangebank Primary School has incorporated the new class into the school wholeheartedly and now celebrate the Holi and Light festivals. “We have a Hindi dance group at the school, and we have Bollywood dancers coming to teach the students, it’s certainly very much a part of our school and the students are gaining an awful lot and there’s no doubt learning a foreign language is extremely good for brain development,” he said. Students learn Hindi once a week along with traditional dance and Indian customs. Mr Avery has been invited to speak at a Hindi and Australian workshop in Canberra where Dr Peter Friedlander, lecturer at the Australian National University, will discuss the Hindi curriculum in Australian schools. “I will definitely advise others on its success. “The Indian community in Australia is growing, and the language is clearly something we need to fill a gap,” he said.

A ProAdvisor is an expert in that field.” There are about 120,000 ProAdvisors around the world. Last month Ms Lucas was named in Intuitive Accountant’s 2015 Top 100 ProAdvisors. “I’m the first Australian to make that list,” she said. “It’s not a popularity contest as such, it’s about ‘what has Diane Lucas done for the brand QuickBooks Online, how does her practice work’, a whole host of things.... “How do I use software to help businesses, what other programs do I use....” Ms Lucas said business had changed from predominantly desktop based to cloud based and paperless.

RETAIL veteran Bernie Brooks did not have to look past the front door of his home for an example of what he described as the ‘digital disruption’ of his world. The former Myer Limited CEO told a big crowd at Wednesday morning’s Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast at the Cardinia Cultural Centre of the arguments that ensued when his son started buying goods online. His appeals to support the business that supported the family largely fell on deaf ears and it wasn’t until a few of the ordered items didn’t fit that the household mail traffic eased. Mr Brooks said his son now combined online shopping with an in-store experience and his message was that businesses prepared to exist in both environments would successfully negotiate the digital disruption. He said it was critical that businesses were prepared to morph into an omni-channel. Loosely defined, that is a multichannel approach to sales that provides customers with a seamless shopping experience, whether it’s from a desktop, a mobile phone or in the store. He used Barnes and Noble Bookshops in the US as an example. In an environment of declining book sales, they developed their own book reader. Mr Brooks said the retail world had evolved from the days of the old shopkeeper who knew you and your family, to the self-service innovation, then the introduction of scanning and through to the impacts of the “worldwide web”. He said shoppers were now living by the click - they wanted it now. “The customer is now in control,” he said. “They won’t wait in line.” Mr Brooks said customers liked the idea of being rewarded for their loyalty and had ever increasing expectations around service. He said a lot of shoppers did their research online, but that at the moment most still purchased from stores.

Key people at the Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast, from left, Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon, sponsor George Diamantopoulos from Telstra Business Centre, Cardinia mayor Leticia Wilmot, guest speaker Bernie Brooks, Vicky Allen from Telstra, Casey Mayor Mick Morland and MC Russell Robinson from the Melbourne Football Club. 140289 Many still considered shopping a day out and looking at ways to enhance that experience was important. Mr Brooks said initial issues of mistrust around online sharing of financial information were turning around and more and more purchases would be made online. He said it was the businesses prepared to offer an integration of online and in-store opportunities that would do the best. He advised to innovate and warned not to leave it until the downturn to do so. “The lure of comfort stifles the desire to innovate,” he warned. “The best time to do it is when things are going well.” He said the quality of the people you had and the speed at which you did things were critical to success

Pitch in with new ideas

Store aiming to make a connection A NEW $18 million Woolworths store has opened its doors in Clyde North. Woolworths Selandra Rise is on the corner of Linsell and Selandra boulevards and officially opened at 7am on Wednesday 17 June, following a VIP opening on Tuesday 16 June. Woolworths Selandra Rise store manager Belinda Rickard said 70 people would be employed at the store. “Our aim is to connect customers directly with our local fresh producers as much as possible,” she said. “Our store will highlight the wonderful seasonality of produce along with tips for the best uses for products.” The 3400 square metre store includes a pizza bar which creates freshly made pizza to order, a maxi bakery, case ready meat, a seafood counter and on-site liquor store. Seventeen checkouts will be available including traditional, express and self-serve.

and that it was important to be consumer-led in what you did. Other tips were to keep it simple - “Don’t overcomplicate things; we’re all busy people” - and to encourage your people to shop at home, within their own community. Mr Brooks is a retail veteran with 30 years’ experience, including stints in India and China. As well as heading Myer, he had also worked as a Management Director for the Woolworths Group. The next Casey Cardinia Region business event is an ‘Empowering Women’ lunch featuring Alannah and Madeline Foundation CEO Judith Slocombe at the Cranbourne Racing Centre on Friday 14 August.

Emerald dream By CASEY NEILL CRANBOURNE North mum Tracey Ryan just has one thing left on her bucket list - finding a cure for breast cancer. The 50-year-old has terminal cancer and just returned from a three-week trip to Northern Ireland - the place where half her ashes will be scattered - to say goodbye to relatives. “It was absolutely unbelievable,” she said. “Words can’t describe it. “I didn’t want to come back, actually. I could have stayed there forever. “I think we flooded Belfast airport when I was leaving. “There were a lot of tears had by everyone.” Tracey made the trip thanks to the people of Maldon in central Victoria who paid for her flights through a fund-raiser organised by sisterin-law Tess Ryan. Tracey attended family birthdays and even a wedding. “It was good to see them, I missed them like crazy,” she said. She climbed a rope bridge up a steep embankment during a day of sight-seeing. “We had to keep stopping and the lungs were playing up so I had to get my breath back,” she said. “I had complete strangers going ‘we’ll carry you down’. “It was worth even non-breath and pain.” How did she get through it? “A lot of drugs - and a lot of stubbornness,” she said. Tracey was happy to come home to her hus-

band Andrew, teenage son Leigh and pregnant daughter Erin. “Leigh got a lot taller and Erin had got a lot bigger with the baby,” she said. Erin’s baby is due on 22 August - Tracey’s first grandchild. “If she’s like her mother she’ll go early,” she said. “I was a month early with her and I was 12 weeks early with Leigh. “It’s one very spoilt grandchild already. I can’t wait to hold that little bundle. “I’ll spoil it while I can.” Leigh’s 18th birthday in September is another milestone she’s hoping to reach. Tracey was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2010 and it’s since spread to her spine, ribs, lungs and liver. Doctors say the disease will soon claim her life. She wrote a bucket list in 2012 and has since watched Erin get married, skydived, climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge and received a makeover from Westfield Fountain Gate and Myer. “Leigh goes ‘mum we have to find you some more bucket list stuff to do’,” she said. “I’m going to have to come up with something.” Tracey will continue to do her bit to find a cure for breast cancer. She works with Pink Hope, Breast Cancer Network Australia and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and directs Young Pink Sisters, a charity that fellow breast cancer sufferers set up to give back. “I don’t want anyone else or their families to have to go through this,” she said.

The Dunn deal By JARROD POTTER BEACONHILLS College studentathlete Oliver Dunn has a hectic baseball year ahead of him in pursuit of higher ambitions playing the great American pastime. While he’s represented the state before - playing with Baseball Victoria’s side over five years - Dunn, 16, from Endeavour Hills, has been selected for his first schoolboys team and will represent TeamVIC at the Pacific School Games later this year in Adelaide. “I’m very proud to be selected - I think it’s a good honour to be representing my state once again,” Dunn said. “First schoolboys’ tournament and it’s a good experience meeting new people and seeing what it’s like to play against people from New Zealand as well.” He’s a frequent flyer when it comes to his baseball ambitions having travelled state-side to attend the Cal Ripken World Series and hopes to eventually get back overseas to play NCAA baseball. He’s also been picked to go to the MLB Australia Academy on the Gold Coast, a proving ground for up-and-coming Australian baseballers including Pakenham’s own MLB-signing Lachlan Madden. “It’s the first year I’m going up to the Gold Coast academy and the Australian team get picked out of that,” Dunn said. “I don’t want to say I’m going to make the team, but at the same time you don’t want to count yourself out of it.

Racing in France was a rare chance afforded to Cranbourne-based apprentice jockey Beau Mertens. 138497 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Beau a la Francaise

Oliver Dunn is moving towards the top of the Australian baseball landscape with his selection in two Picture: JARROD POTTER prestigious rosters. 140840 Dunn prefers to spend his time in the infield at second base or shortstop but is trying to expand his fielding game into the pitching ranks to give him more avenues into the final roster. “Just want to try my best to make

that team - I think what I want to focus on is broadening my game and being able to pitch so I can be picked for multiple positions - either as a pitcher or an infielder,” Dunn said. In the meantime Dunn will con-

tinue stealing bases and working on his pitching with Waverley Baseball Club, where he currently plays in the side’s firsts’ team. Dunn will represent SSV at the Pacific School Games in Adelaide from 22-28 November.

A career in the making By JARROD POTTER ALWAYS check your junk mail - you never know what you might find in there... perhaps your son’s state schoolboys’ football invitation. This was the weird way Magpies midfield powerhouse Connor MacDonald found out he was about to take his local football talents into the national arena. MacDonald, 12, from Narre Warren South, thought he had been passed over when other players started congratulating each other on making the School Sport Victoria (SSV) under-12 boys’ football team. But for some reason it was routed to his mum’s junk mail folder by mistake. “He’s saying ‘Mum just tell me the truth, other people on Instagram are congratulating each other’ and I said ‘mate I haven’t got anything’,” Connor’s mum Georgia said. “But it was in my junk email all along.” Connor’s dismay soon turned to joy as he discovered he would get a chance to represent the state at the championships in July, after making it through three arduous rounds of trials. “It was pretty hard, but luckily I made it through,” MacDonald said.

“I was very excited that I made the team. “My first training session they put everyone in positions and stuff and I was lucky enough to be read out in the midfield so I’m pretty happy with that - it’s pretty good so I’ll get to run all day.” An all-round athlete, MacDonald had made the SSV athletics team last year, but making the team for his biggest passion - football - is just that little bit more satisfying. His one aim is team-oriented as he hopes to be part of the premiership winning side at the end of the carnival. “I’d just love to win the grand final and if we all play as a team I reckon we’ll get the chocolates,” MacDonald said. In the meantime he’s running through the centre for Narre Warren Junior Football Club and enjoying his time at his new school - Rowville Sports Academy. “I didn’t really want to go to a normal school, I wanted to get better at my football and it’s great that I can do that during my school time at Rowville,” MacDonald said. He especially wanted to thank his parents for their support of his footy dreams. MacDonald and his side will head to Geelong next month for the SSA Australian Football 12-Years and-Under Championships.

Connor MacDonald is set to make his mark through the midfield for the state schoolboys' team next month. 140439

SWAPPING Cranbourne for Chantilly, jockey Beau Mertens savoured every second of a rare opportunity for an Australian apprentice. Mertens, 17, who is an apprentice for Cranbourne trainer Mick Kent, was selected as the sole Australian apprentice to race in France against some of the best apprentices in the world. He took in every aspects of the week from riding the horses through the forest, staying with the world’s best apprentices and culminating in racing the Prix Longines Future Racing Stars at Chantilly racecourse - and Mertens could hardly believe what he was afforded. “It was an unbelievable experience - I got that much out of it and it’s something you can’t ask for really,” Mertens said. “The track work over there, seeing what they’re like with their horses and how they train them - it’s a lot different to what they do over here. “The tracks, riding through the forest and the way they handle their horses and train them is unreal.” In the main event, Mertens guided Chez Laurent (trained by Robert Collet) to fourth in the Future Stars 1800m race - a particularly different race tactically to the Australian way he’s learned to ride. “Riding in the race in front of a crowd of 45,000 people is something you can’t put a price tag on,” Mertens said. “It ran fourth, but it was an awkward run and the others were going really slow then going faster, but it was a good run by the horse and I was happy to finish.” Outside of the race itself, Mertens soaked up a great deal of knowledge from the French trainers and has a better understanding of what it takes to train horses up to the French standard. “They have so much love for them - there is a heap of love over here for our horses, but the way they work them in the forest and seeing them work and the tracks that they’re on, they’ll gallop into the forest and be onto a track straight away,” Mertens said. “They’re so professional.” “If I ever got another invite to head over there for a week, month or a year I’d definitely take it like that in a heartbeat.” Mertens returned to the Australian saddle this week with races at Pakenham, Cranbourne and Hamilton.

Hear how the Roosters crow By JARROD POTTER VFL - ROUND 10 SUCCESS at the top level came at a cost for Casey this week with a depleted Scorpions’ lineup beaten down by an AFL-list laden North Ballarat. With some of Casey’s early season stars off and making their mark with Melbourne, knocking off Geelong by 20 points in one of the upsets of the decade - Max Gawn, Jake Spencer, Alex Neal-Bullen, Billy Stretch, Rohan Bail and Aidan Riley were some firstchoice Scorpions who featured in Melbourne’s finest hour - it left the door open for the newer brigade to take up arms in their place. Although the Scorpions were not without AFL options of their own - with Mark Jamar and Ben Newton guiding the midfield - a lot of fresh faces took the field in an attempt to keep the Scorpions inside the VFL top eight. While the Roosters’ lead threatened to balloon out beyond 30 points, Casey stuck fast in the contest, but couldn’t strike its way ahead in the crunch moments as the Roosters crowed over the visitors in the low-scoring affair. “I think it’s always a challenging trip to go to Ballarat they’re coming off two pretty strong losses and I don’t think we respected the opposition as much as we should’ve,” Casey coach Justin Plapp said. “The second half was a reflection of their hard work but it was our inability to compete and do it in the manner that we have over the last month and a half.” Plapp praised Jamar in the ruck while Tim Smith, Mitch

Scorpions midfielder Mitch Gent stood tall in a tough road Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS trip to Ballarat. 140389 Gent and James Harmes - leading possession getter with 28 also stood out to the Scorpions’ coach. Jay Kennedy-Harris (2 goals) put his hand up for AFL selection again as he relished the contest while Jack Fitzpatrick and Shannon Byrnes showed their class when it counted. Gippsland Power/Ellinbank hard-nut Nate Paredes earned his first senior match of the season while another ex-Gippy lad Paul Pattison has also stepped up to the next level. Former Narre Warren midfielder Ryan Bastinac starred for the Roosters as he looks to battle his way back into the North Melbourne first 22. Casey sits eighth currently with a bye this weekend before hosting Geelong on 4 July.

Wings of Eagles soaring from strength to strength By JARROD POTTER VWFL - DIVISION 1 BUILDING on its best quarter of the year, Cranbourne sent a strong message to the other high-ranking sides in VWFL Division 1 as the Eagles brushed aside ladder-leaders North Geelong. The buoyant start to North Geelong’s season was brought to an abrupt end as Cranbourne ran out 41-point winners. It was a match played between the halves through to the main break as neither side could crack the other’s halfbacks. Danielle Hardiman and Corrine Cullis clamped down on any North Geelong forward imitative and rebounded instantly. But as hard as it was through the first half to score - as both sides sprayed their chances and failed to attack the big sticks - the third quarter opened up spectacularly for the Casey Fields’ brigade. A tightly-contested battle opened up after half-time as the Eagles slammed on five unanswered goals with Bianca Jakobsson and Laura Robinson (2 goals each) stealing the show from the visitors. “I just thought we were better than them in the first half as well - just didn’t kick the goals,” Cranbourne coach Kris Smith said. “We kicked 1.5 and didn’t capitalise in that first quarter which was costly. “Just managed to convert those goals in the third quarter and put them to the sword - that was pleasing.” Smith said this was a win Cranbourne craved - defending its home soil and knocking off a high-calibre VWFL side given it dual significance.

Tess McEvoy flies against a North Geelong opponent. 140743 Picture: JARROD POTTER “We were up and about for this one - the girls were really prepared to take it right up to them,” Smith said. “It was a bit of an eightpoint game - if we missed it up they would’ve had a twogame buffer between us, so it puts us back in the race for that top two and get the shot at the double chance. “It was our most pleasing win - their coach said we gave them a football lesson. “As far as an all-around team performance that’s right up there for sure and we can improve on that too.” Smith praised his defensive maestros Hardiman and Cullis as well as the run-andcarry of Ellie Keatch and the tap-work from Cara Moody. Most importantly, the Eagles aren’t just being served by the same three or four as Smith thought the whole lineup was worthy of mention.

“Cara in that third-quarter dominated - their ruckman played in the state second side and she absolutely pulled her pants down,” Smith said. “Couple of girls up forward - Loz Robinson and Steph binder along with BJ absolutely killed it in that forward half. “We’re not relying on the same players each week and I could’ve put a blanket over 20 of them yesterday and put them all in the best which was really great to see.” Cranbourne’s Division-3 side was just as emphatic against St Kilda Sharks, smashing the home side by 46 points as Kirsty Roche, Janet Sullivan, Emily Wallace and Rebecca Tiernan impressed. Cranbourne Division 1 faces Diamond Creek away on Sunday while the Eagles Division-3 side heads to Deer Park.

RUNNING up the walkway for her final interleague clash - the AFL Victoria Metropolitan Championships grand final against Yarra JFL - South East Juniors captain Cassie Rowe savoured her last time in the redand-blue. Battling her way through the packs throughout the Youth Girls’ interleague championships, Rowe was one of many pivotal players in the SEJ’s rise to the grand final and didn’t ease up on the throttle for the finale. It was no surprise to find the Tooradin-Dalmore midfielder under the packs and streaming across the wings on Saturday morning. The Seagull -temporarily turned Demon - ensured SEJ had plenty of the pill as she set up a number of forward entries and helped repel the Yarra attack across Central Reserve. While the results didn’t favour the SEJ, Rowe’s pride in captaining the Youth Girls’ team could not be diminished. “It was an awesome experi-

South East Juniors captain Cassie Rowe pumps the ball forward one last time in her final Youth Girls' interleague match. 140733 Picture: JARROD POTTER ence to lead them out,” Rowe said. “I’ve never had the experience of captaining a side like this before. “It’s a team of amazing girls and I couldn’t be more excited and happy with how it all went. “Would’ve been awesome to walk away with the win, but it was still a great experience. “Just want to give thanks to the league for the opportunity and it was an awesome job from all the girls,” Rowe said. South East Juniors inter-

league coach Chloe McMillan had simple yet effusive praise for her side’s captain, who will be greatly missed in next season’s interleague campaign. “Cass played her role fantastically and did everything we asked,” McMillan said. “From the first training session I knew she was going to be our captain - she gives 110 per cent with everything she does and is not only looking to improve herself but will do anything for her teammates. “Cass is respected amongst everyone in our interleague group and sets high expectations of herself and everyone around. “Off the field she is a fantastic person and it’s sad to see her go - I wish I could have her around for many more years to come but she has a bright future in front of her.” There was no rest for Rowe on Sunday as she was straight back into the red-and-green to help Tooradin-Dalmore secure a 127-point win over Hampton Park in the South East Juniors Youth Girls competition.

Eagles piling it on By DAVID NAGEL BEACONSFIELD’S premiership defence seemed to reignite on Saturday with a best-of-the-season 35-point victory over Pakenham in the South East Football Netball League (SEFNL) match-of-the-day at Toomuc Reserve. All the traits that exemplified the Eagles’ 10-game charge to last year’s premiership were there, with white-hot pressure, a champion ruckman, and the exuberance of youth standing out above all else. The Eagles rattle the Lions early, kicking 5.3 to 0.3 in the opening term to take a firm grip on the contest. The Lions responded, kicking seven goals to four during the middle stages of the match, before a 4.1 to 0.2 final stanza banked the Eagles a crucial four points. Beacy’s sacrifice for each other was back to the levels of last year; Scott Meyer was magnificent in the ruck while youngsters Jordan Stewart and Lachlan Modica showed poise beyond their years. Taylor Joyce kicked five for the winners with Beau Dowler and Troy McDermott chipping in with three apiece. The Lions, who were brave during their comeback, had Damien Holmes play a blinder, but he’ll be missing for the remainder of the season after fracturing his collarbone. Nicholas Verleg and skipper Dean Blake were other Lions to fire. Narre Warren was in a meanmood on the weekend, keeping ROC scoreless for the first 50-minutes of footy on its way to a 55-point win at Starling Road. Matt Ford, who kicked three for the Kangas, broke the ice at the 20-minute of the second term to give the home-crowd something to cheer about.

Cranbourne star Marc Holt was well held, in more ways than one, by Doveton’s Michael Rodriquez on Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Saturday. 140679 But it was all the Magpies, who had Kerem Baskaya slot five, and Ben Wragg and George Angelopoulos three each, while Dylan Quirk, Jake Richardson and Michael Collins were consistent all afternoon. Anthony Vanin and James Sloothaak, who did well on Baskaya, were the Kangaroos’ best. Cranbourne started like a house on fire on its way to a 41-point victory over Doveton at Robinson Oval. The Eagles cracked open the Doves with a 6.1 to 0.4 opening burst that effectively ended the game as a contest.

Doveton threw numbers behind the ball after the first break, turning things into an arm-wrestle after the knock-out punch had already been delivered. Ryan Jones kicked three and Marc Holt and Tim Smith two for the Eagles, who had Max Gearon and the competition’s best defender Brandon Osborne in red-hot form. For the Doves, Michael Rodriquez did a great job on Holt while centre-half-back Jake Dermott continues to shine. And finally, persistence has paid for Tooradin, the Seagulls claiming their first scalp of the season with a 69-point victory over Hampton Park

at Robert Booth Reserve. The Seagulls were quick to start, kicking four goals before the Redbacks could blink and that opening onslaught set the scene for the day. Julian Suarez was magnificent for the Seagulls, returning to his 2013 best with seven goals for the afternoon while Matt Wade (3 goals), Kyle Van Der Pluym (2 goals) and Cameron Brown (2 goals) made multiple contributions. Adam Galea was superb for the Seagulls down back, while Nathan Allen, Luke O’Brien and Andrew Shipp were best for the Redbacks. Berwick had the bye.

Anyone’s guess for finals

Planning the SEFNL future

By DAVID NAGEL

PAKENHAM and Beaconsfield are going to keep everyone guessing aren’t they, not knowing who is going to take the double-chance come finals time after playing out a thrilling draw at Toomuc Reserve on Saturday. A high-pressure whistlebeater, from Pakenham’s Claire Gibbs, locked things away at 43 each, ending a game that swung in more directions than a kite in a tornado. Pakenham had the better of a defensively controlled first half, leading 19-14, before Beaconsfield came back in a more hightempo and attacking second half of netball. Through the hard work of players like Gabby Stinear (GD), Kylie Baker (WD), Bianca Sanzaro (GS) and Andi Dickson (GA), the Eagles cut the margin to three at the final break, before hitting the front, and looking the winner in the dying stages. Pakenham’s Lauren Lenders (C) continues to impress in her return from injury, while Meaghan Winter (WA) was a terrific players on the day. Doveton won its first game of netball since Saturday 2 May when it easily accounted for Cranbourne, 61-42, at Robinson Oval on Saturday.

Cranbourne wing attack Natalie Sparks looks for a passing option during the Eagles loss to Doveton. 140679 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS The Doves extended their five-goal lead at quarter time to eight by half-time, before ramming home its advantage with 31 goals to 20 in the second half. Rahni Samason (GS) and Rita White-Kay (GA) formed an impressive goal-shooting partnership, handing Cranbourne its worst loss of the season and ending its finals hopes. Top-team Narre Warren heads into this week’s bye in terrific shape, with seven wins and a draw under its belt, after a clinical 55-32 victory over ROC

at Starling Road. Chloe Phillips (GS) and Tayla Shannon (GA) were this week’s focal points, Phillips with 34, and Shannon 21 goals for the afternoon while coach Jade Heinrich (C) and defender Tracey Dell (GK) were two of the real keys to victory. Tooradin has hope in its heart that a win is just around the corner after going down to league-powerhouse Hampton Park by just four goals, 40-36, at Robert Booth Reserve. The winless Seagulls’ smallest losing margin this season had been 15, against Beaconsfield in round seven, but they improved on that with a brave second-half revival. The Redbacks led by 11 at half time, before Dayle Willis (GA), Stacey Sawyer (WD) and Rachel Cole (GK) combined to drag the Seagulls back into the contest. The Seagulls cut a nine-goal deficit at three-quarter time to just four at the final whistle. Hampton Park’s form is now in question with Saturday’s uninspiring victory following on from a 31-goal smashing at the hands of Narre Warren last week. Maddison Hanlen, Chloe Birch and Cathy Leeves had enough in the tank to get the favourites over the line.

A NEW era of enhanced communication has dawned on the South East Football Netball League (SEFNL) with a hugely successful Strategic Planning Day held at Casey Fields on Sunday. Representatives from the City of Casey, Shire of Cardinia, the South East Juniors, all senior football and netball clubs, umpire groups and local media, joined the SEFNL board for a workshop that saw traditional barriers of communication broken down. Facilitated by Brendan Mason, from Same Page Cultures, the gathering saw nearly 50 people share their ideas and visions that will help determine the future direction of SEFNL. Groups moved to five stations; 1 - Mission and Purpose, 2 - Vision, 3 - Values, 4 - Mantra and 5 - Projects, before contributing to a timeline of the past, present and future of the competition. SEFNL Operations Manager, Liz Triffitt, said the day was an overwhelming success. “Leading up to it, I think some clubs were a bit hesitant and unsure about what today was all about, but I think they’ve been surprised,” Triffitt said. “Judging by the buzz in the

ment with juniors, that type of thing, so there was some really good work done today. “The clubs, quite clearly in their feedback, said they wanted to share their ideas and today will really help us to grow and learn as one.” Words like sustainability, integrity, professionalism, innovation and enjoyment were common across all five stations while the introduction of a divisional structure was another key message to come from the day. The SEFNL board hopes to have the data collated and new policies adopted by the time its AGM comes around at the end of the year.

Cavs claim in high stakes By JARROD POTTER THERE are always high stakes on the line when Casey comes out to play and this week’s match against low-lying Blackburn was no exception. While the Cavaliers ramped up the score-line - taking a 104-75 win over the Vikings - Blackburn never truly went away as the biggest margin of the night was only claimed in the dying minutes. In a shared effort across the board, Casey racked up its first century this season as Casey’s big five all notched double-digit tallies. Coming off the bench and utterly smashing the Vikings’ defensive structure was Dean Johnson (26 points, six rebounds) - who at one stage scored seven points in a minute as Blackburn succumbed to a number of Casey steals. Ben Louis (19 points, eight rebounds, six assists) was impressive in the victory, but might be in doubt for this weekend’s clash against Southern Peninsula after leaving his coach Stewart Baird hanging in an attempted high-five. Also picking up 10 or more were Lester Strong (20 points, seven rebounds) - who rocked the State Basketball Centre with a monstrously

undefeatable skyhook of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar quality - Bevan Camilleri (18 points) and Brent Hobba (14 points, nine rebounds). “You always worry about these games - they’re on the bottom of the

ladder but it’s not truly indicative of where they’re at,” Casey coach Baird said. “They did a really good job and knew they would hang with us if we didn’t knuckle down and get it done.

A team unto Girls keen themselves to claim crown By DAVID NAGEL

WE ALL know we can’t trust them, but what if club match committees were actually being honest when they filled out their best players list at the end of each SEFNL game this season. It would allow us to put a team together, that’s what, made up of the players who have served their clubs with absolute distinction to the half-way mark of the season. Narre Warren’s Michael Collins, Pakenham’s Dean Blake and ROC’s Nathan Brewster lead the way, named seven times in their club’s best, while Beaconsfield’s Scott Meyer, Cranbourne’s Max Gearon and Pakenham’s Damien Holmes are hot on their heels with six. Surprise packets on five, include Tooradin youngsters Andrew Proctor and Troy Dolan, while Berwick’s Jimmy Phillips has made the transition from good twos footballer to senior level look easy. So here we have it, the most consistent performers for the year have their own team. Their amount of times in the best players list is in brackets.

By JARROD POTTER 2015 VIC METRO CHAMPIONSHIPS - YOUTH GIRLS GRAND FINAL EAGLES, Lightning, Pirates and Seagulls among others combined to almost seize back the interleague crown. A gallant fight-back almost gave the South East Juniors Youth Girls the edge, but their hard-earned lead was chewed up in the dying minutes by Yarra JFL in a seven-point defeat. Entering their ninth consecutive interleague grand final - featuring in every final since the competition began - the SEJ girls were determined to win back the cup, which has been Yarra JFL’s for the last two years. The expansive Central Reserve surface made scoring pretty difficult for both sides - with only six goals kicked in the foggy, dew-laden conditions. But despite being outsized vertically and hard-pressed to match the fleet-footed Yarra JFL, the South East Juniors team fought it out to the final siren, only pipped in the end by seven points. After an early goal from Georgia Gee, the SEJ contingent didn’t hit the scoreboard again until the final term as Yarra made life precarious for the locals. The clash was mainly played between both half back lines, with the efforts of Courtney Jones, Chloe Anderson, Logan O’Connell-Webb and skipper Cassie Rowe stopping the defending premiers from booting away in their own right. A scant 10-point margin split the sides at the final break with the the match well and truly deadlocked. An impassioned plea from coach Chloe McMillan - to give their all in the last 20 minutes - geared up the

“We can probably be a bit better than that defensively, but offensively every time you get 100 you’ve had a pretty good game.” The Cavaliers have established a three-game break on their nearest ri-

vals Chelsea, Camberwell and Warrandyte in the Watson Conference following their 10-game winning streak and will face off in the return-leg of a burgeoning south-eastern rivalry. Southern Peninsula Sharks will head to the Cavaliers’ Fortress on Saturday night from 8pm and Casey will be out to avenge its last loss - a 75-87 loss in May. “Double figures which is nice - the Youth boys would be up to 11 too and as a program our under-20 men are on top as well, so we’re pretty with the way things are going. “We’ve got a tough one next week against Southern Pen at home - at last, feels like we haven’t been there for a while - and we really want that one.” The Cavaliers women bounced by with a 61-51 win over Coburg and the Casey women face Blackburn at Knox Basketball Stadium on Saturday night, but might be without captain Amy Mcfarlane, with the guard needing hand surgery after coming off on the worse end of a battle against an avocado. The Cavaliers’ youth men kept their rampage going with their 11th win on the trot following an 83-61 win over Mornington. Phil Thomas’ Casey side take on Warrnambool this weekend.

Hazelden to give the Demons a twopoint lead. Yarra would charge again, picking off three behinds in a row to take back the lead before Katie Lynch booted the teal-brigade to victory their third consecutively in a purple patch. “Unfortunately we didn’t settle as early as we like to and couldn’t capitalise on the opportunities we had,” McMillan said.

“To only go down by seven points is a testament to the girls and how hard they fought as Yarra was a pretty good outfit.” McMillan praised the efforts of Gee, Emily Browning and Jones. It brings an end to the interleague and representative duties for South East Juniors Youth Girls with the Dandenong Stingrays Academy also finishing up for the season this week.

�� Reviews and news…

Mondeo takes to the wing By ALISTAIR KENNEDY WITH the upcoming departure of the Ford Falcon the latest, fourth generation, version of the marginally smaller Mondeo, launched in Australia in April this year, takes on more importance than ever before. When Mondeo first arrived on the scene in 1992 it was marketed as the “world car” - hence the name, its French for world. Despite its success overseas, the dominance of the Falcon in Australia, and the fact that it didn’t come here until 1995, meant that Mondeo was never going to be more than a bit player. Indeed it dropped out of the local market altogether between 1999 before returning with greater success in 2007. Bucking the current trend towards SUVs all Mondeo models are available with a station wagon body as well as a hatchback, but no sedan and no plans to bring one in post-Falcon. There are three variants: Ambiente (from $32,790), Trend (from $37,340), and Titanium (from $44,290). The Titanium wagon is diesel-only powered, the others come with the choice of either petrol or diesel. The only option is prestige paint, at $450, with all models. Mondeo hatch has the same coupelike styling that Mercedes pioneered with its CLS-Class. It works well with

the Benz and equally so with the big Ford - at a third of the price. The Mondeo wagon gets a similar treatment. The front of the Gen 4 Mondeo was been given a bigger grille than the previous model, with a honeycomb fill and daytime running lights that combine with the flowing profile to produce an eye-catching sporty looking car. Each variant gets different sized alloy wheels from 16- to 18-inch. Mondeo comes with the choice of two turbocharged engines, one petrol and one diesel. The petrol, from the EcoBoost family, has two different levels of tune, 149 kW and 345 Nm in the entry-level Ambiente model and 177 kW, but the same 345 Nm, in the higher-specced Trend and Titanium. The Duratorq diesel has less power (132 kW) but more torque (400 Nm) with a peak from 2000 to 2500 rpm. All models use a six-speed automatic transmission with the added feature of paddle-shift manual overrides. Our test car was the Titanium hatch with the fixed glass roof which is likely to affect the available front headroom for taller drivers. We found it necessary to drop the driver’s seat height to its lower limit, not something that we prefer although it did add to the car’s semi-sporty feel.

The all-new Ford Mondeo comes with smooth lines, both as a hatch or station wagon. Otherwise interior space is good with plenty of rear legroom and acceptable headroom. The Titanium wagon gets a powered opening sunroof. There are excellent storage options including a large and deep alcove at the base of the front console that is ideal for keeping items like phone and wallet away from prying eyes. The drink holders are large and supportive while the USB, Aux and SD card sockets are at the bottom of the

centre console box. The Mondeo’s hatch door is huge and opens wide to provide easy access to the 557 litres of storage space, or 1600 litres with the rear seatbacks folded. The size of the hatch door means shorter people may struggle to reach up and pull it closed. The problem is avoided in the Titanium courtesy of a powered door which opens via a smart-key button and closes by pressing a button at the

bottom of the hatch door. It’s always reassuring when car companies introduce new safety features to their vehicles and Ford has added another with the 2015 Mondeo. All models now come with inflatable seatbelts on the two outer rear seats that combine the benefits of a normal seatbelt with those of an airbag. When crash sensors detect an accident cold compressed gas is forced out of a cylinder housed below the rear seat, through the buckle and along the length of the lower side of the seatbelt in less than 40 milliseconds. All models also get seven conventional airbags including a driver’s knee ‘bag; ABS brakes; Electronic Stability Control; Trailer Sway Control; Hill Launch Assist; rear parking sensors; and Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection. There’s also the Ford MyKey system that allows owners to program various restrictions into the car’s computer to limit top speed, disable the audio system until all seatbelts have been fastened and then set a maximum audio volume. It also prevents the stability control system from being deactivated. Inquire about the Ford range at David Nutter Ford, 749 Princes Highway, Berwick, phone 8768 2222, or Freeway Ford, 200 High Street, Cranbourne, phone 5991 2300.
