■ Owner counts the cost of living on Clyde’s...
Crash corner By GEORGIA WESTGARTH WINSOME Anderson has spent hundreds of dollars tidying up the mess created by careless drivers on one of Clyde’s most notorious corners. “I’ve had to fix my fence dozens of times because cars have smashed through it,” Ms Anderson told Star News. “I am a victim of crime.” A farmer and Clyde resident of 24 years, Ms Anderson said the corner of Ballarto Road and Twyford Road - her address - has been home to several smashed up cars, the latest left parked on the side of the road for three weeks. “Two years ago two flipped in one day on that corner,” Ms Anderson said. “The car went into my property, I was left yet again to pay for the expense of the fence and replace posts.” An accident at the corner involving a hatchback in early May had locals speaking out on a Pakenham Crime and Theft Facebook page. A picture of the smashed up car was posted on Saturday 14 May and the comments that followed read: Aaryn: Seen it 30 mins after it happened Wednesday night kid walked away without a scratch. Head on into the power pole bounced him into the ditch. One lucky dude. Robert: That corner has had heaps of cars crashing people take it way to quick. Lindsay: Yeah fresh marks on the power pole on the opposite side to where the car sits. You can’t cut that corner because the pole will always win. Glad to hear the driver is ok. Brett: That is epic! Dude must have been fanging it!
The car sat parked on the side of the road for three weeks and was picked up on Tuesday 24 May. Ms Anderson confirmed the social media comments, saying the hatchback had hit the power pole and spun. “It sat there for three weeks but didn’t slow any of the traffic down,” she said. “What if people had been driving in the opposite direction? It would have been a horrific smash. “In two years there have been two out-of-control cars come through my fence and two on the opposite side of the road and two recent crashes. “The increase of accidents on that corner is increasing tenfold because there’s more traffic on the roads. My concerns are, does someone have to die before action is taken?” An accident on Monday 14 March left Ms Anderson with a car sitting on her property with no registration plates for a week, after it crashed through her fence about 2am. The speed limit at the corner is 65km/h and Ms Anderson is calling for rumble strips and warning sings to be installed. Bass MP Brian Paynter met with Ms Anderson on Monday 23 May. Mr Paynter has advised that he will write to Roads Minister Luke Donnellan requesting rumble strips be installed on the bend to prevent further accidents. The City of Casey’s 2016/17 draft budget features a capital works investment of more than $154 million. One of the major initiatives in 2016/17 includes the construction of Valetta Street in Clyde off Ballarto and Railway roads.
This car sat on the side of the road for three weeks after it hit a power pole on the corner of Ballarto and Twyford Roads. It was towed on Tuesday 24 May.
Winsome Anderson, a long-term Clyde resident, is calling for warning signs and rumble strips to be installed to Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS help slow down the rate of accidents at the notorious corner. 154508

Uni campus evolution By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CASEY Mayor Sam Aziz’s vision for a top-shelf university on the soon-to-be vacated Monash University campus in Berwick has received interest from the Top End. Cr Aziz said the council would advocate for Northern Territory-based Charles Darwin University’s ambitious bid for the site - soon after meeting with the university’s vice-chancellor Professor Simon Maddocks on 24 May. The university’s bid included boosting the range of courses offered - including
engineering, business, medicine, nursing and hospitality, Cr Aziz said. “The downfall for Monash was they did not have that diversity of courses. They weren’t interested in Berwick, but interested elsewhere. “I’m starting to think the Monash decision (to leave Berwick) was a blessing in disguise. “It’s not just about the name of the tertiary institution, but what actually gets delivered.” Cr Aziz said the university - in the top 2 per cent in the world for academic perfor-
mance - was enthusiastic to accommodate his hope for an elite business school along the lines of Harvard Business School. It would help drive the council’s vision as a leader in economic development, he said. “The exciting thing is their business model is for the sort of education we’re looking to offer in Casey. They have undertaken to partner with the council and the community to build the DNA on the campus, which tailors it to service the area.” The university approached Casey Council to outline the bid, attracted by the
region’s burgeoning population and quality schools such as Nossal High and Haileybury, Cr Aziz said. “They believe there’s a really strong market for tertiary education. It just has to be exploited by the right entity.” Monash University, which plans to vacate Berwick in 2018, is believed to have three suitors for the site at this stage. Cr Aziz said the council did not have a direct say in the bidding process, but would lend its support to Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin University stated it would not comment at this stage.
Junior mascot Cody runs in with Pies By GEORGIA WESTGARTH COUNTLESS brain surgeries won’t stop Cranbourne’s Cody Wallace from running onto the MCG with his beloved Magpies to promote disability inclusion. Ten-year-old Cody has been given the special privilege of junior mascot for the Collingwood Football Club, and will take centre stage at the Robert Rose Cup clash between the Pies and the Dogs. Doctors located a tumour in Cody’s brain when he was just 22 months old, and Mum Tracy said, “had they not found the tumour when they did, Cody would have died within six weeks”. His family of six will all be watching as Cody, now a student at the Nepean School, runs through the banner on Sunday 29 May. Parents Tracy and Scott Wallace said they were thrilled that Cody had been given such an amazing opportunity. “Cody has been a Collingwood supporter since he was born- he had no choice at all,” Tracy said, laughing. “To be able to see the joy on Cody’s face will be priceless - a little boy who has endured more than any child his age should have to. “This will be a moment that we cherish and the memory will last a lifetime,” they said. Cody, who has developmental delays and short term memory loss, was chosen for the job as mascot by sponsors of the Robert Rose Cup Slater and Gordon. Slater and Gordon medical lawyer Nick Mann said Cody was a deserving mascot. “The Robert Rose Cup promotes the inclusion of people of all abilities to ensure that each and every one of us has the op-

Cameras lead to hidden dumping CAGED cameras haven’t deterred people from illegal dumping outside the Hampton Park Salvation Army shop - instead they have moved around the back. A month after the ongoing dumping sparked community outrage, the Coalition Government announced $208,100 to be spent on security at the adjacent site - the Hampton Park Community Square as part of round two of the Safer Street Programme. Minister for Justice Michael Keenan visited the square on Thursday 19 May with Liberal candidate for Holt James Mathias. The cash injection is set to be spent on improving security infrastructure at the square and includes new lighting, safer paths, better fencing and the installation of new safety bollards. However Casey council has yet to be formally notified of the funding. City of Casey Manager Community Safety Caroline Bell said: “We look forward to working with the Federal Government to learn more about the announcement and how the funds may be used to improve safety of the Casey community.” The announcement comes after a young boy was recently caught defacing an Anzac memorial display at the square. Tania Sacco, the manager of the square’s Hampton Park Community House, said: “Unfortunately the square and adjacent salvos store attracts a lot of crime. She said she welcomed the upcoming funds. “Cages around the cameras are necessary because people vandalise them,” Ms Sacco said. “They now dump rubbish for the Salvos to clean up around the back of the side car park.”

STATE Government funding alone would be a “Band-Aid solution” to traffic congestion on Thompsons Road, according to regular road users. Cardinia Shire and the City of Casey have been lobbying for $190 million in federal funding to speed up the process of duplicating Thompsons Road. Residents have expressed their “uncertainty” about the feasibility of the State Government’s $154.5 million budget commitment because the project is yet to receive formal federal support. The state funds will pay for the duplication between Dandenong-Frankston Road and Evans Road and also between Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road. It will also fund the replacement of the roundabout at the Western Port Highway intersection with traffic lights. Cranbourne North resident Tallara Constantine has been using Thompsons Road for most of her life. She allows more than two hours to get to work in Melbourne’s CBD. “The general consensus in the community is to avoid Thompsons Road at all costs. If I don’t need to use it, I don’t,” Ms Constantine said. “It’s just not worth the effort. I’m not going to waste money on petrol to crawl at a snail’s pace, not getting anywhere in a hurry. “It used to be the case that peak hour traffic would be between 3.30pm and 7.30pm but now it doesn’t matter what time or what day - there’s traffic congestion both ways.” Ms Constantine often travels to Carrum Downs to visit her parents or to take her kids to swimming lessons.
Cranbourne North resident Tallara Constantine is ready to leave home checking traffic conditions on her GPS. 154538 Picture: GARY SISSONS On average, about 26,000 vehicles use Thompsons Road between EastLink in Carrum Downs and Berwick-Cranbourne Road in Clyde North every day, according to VicRoads. “I’m often travelling from one end of Thompsons Road to the other,” she said. “My parents live about 15 kilometres away and on a bad run, it takes 30 minutes to get there.” She said while she was happy that the congestion problems were being addressed, she was concerned about the project’s feasibility. “I don’t know how they’re going to duplicate the road. Around the areas where Thompsons Road goes to one lane, there’s a petrol station, RSPCA and a residential area, as well as a golf course up the road. The Cranbourne area is expanding too fast - there’s rapid growth but no infrastructure to support it. “I think it’s a case of too little too late for the amount of disruptions that are going to happen during roadworks. “I know politicians will
focus on the long-term benefits but that will all depend on whether they knuckle down and get it done in 18 months or if it’s going to be delayed and potentially take years to finish. “ Clyde resident Ben Robert’s home is a five-minute drive from Thompsons Road. He uses the thoroughfare every day to drive to work and drop his children off at school. “It’s a bit of a nightmare. The kids are late to school some days because of the traffic being so bad,” he said. “Obviously I’m concerned about the roadworks. There’s going to be more traffic and it gets pretty banked up already. “We’re going to have to get the kids up even earlier to try to get to school on time. “If the State Government’s going to widen the road, it will help but I don’t think it’s going to solve the entire issue because it’s a fast-growing area. It’s a Band-Aid solution. “Federal funding would provide more certainty.” Support the Thompsons Road project at www.fundourfuture.info/act-now.
Meat cleaver thieves caught on video THIEVES armed with a meat cleaver hurled a rock through a glass service station door in Lynbrook, before stealing cash and cigarettes. Two men burst in to the Dandenong-Hastings Road business just after 2am on Monday
2 May and threw a large rock through the glass front door. The pair then entered the service station, one of them armed with what appeared to be a meat cleaver and demanded the attendant open the till. They took a sum of money
before locating a second till and taking cash from that as well. The pair then grabbed cigarettes before leaving the store. The attendant was not injured physically during the incident.

Addict’s help plea A MAN linked to multiple aggravated burglaries and stolen cars in the south-east, including in Keysborough and Hampton Park, has pleaded to a court for help in relation to his cannabis and amphetamine addiction. Allem Sabitovic, 27, who had been living in Noble Park, won bail with daily reporting and night curfew conditions at a Dandenong Magistrates’ Court hearing on 23 May. The unemployed man had been in custody since 7 April when arrested for driving unlicensed in an unregistered car with a stolen number plate at Northland shopping centre, Preston. Senior Constable Courtney Henderson of Preston police told the court Sabitovic tried to flee as police searched the car. Police seized 24.3 grams of cannabis, a stolen passport and a baton from the car’s interior. At the time, Sabitovic had been on a community corrections order as
well as multiple counts of bail for a string of thefts since 2015, including an alleged home garage burglary in Perry Road, Keysborough, on 24 March and commercial burglary in Dandenong South on 27 March. A stolen station wagon was driven into the Keysborough home’s rear garage during the afternoon, and loaded with $900 of tools including an airbrush, two powerdrills and hammer. The wagon had been stolen during a Hampton Park aggravated burglary on 16 March. Sabitovic was also accused of stealing a truck and laptop from a steel factory in Dandenong South on 27 March. He was also on bail over two cars - containing his finger prints - which were stolen and attempted to be stolen from a Clayton South break-in in September. In October, a stolen Kia and a stolen Holden Statesman driven by Sabitovic were spotted cutting erratically between traffic and speeding at up to 140 km/h on the Western Ring Road near Laverton.
Sabitovic crashed after narrowly missing a truck. He fled in the Kia, while his Statesman with a stolen plate and containing loot from a commercial burglary the previous day was left at the scene. He was arrested on 18 November after a police pursuit in Glen Waverley. A month later, he was arrested at a Mount Waverley supermarket after stealing pretzels and wafer biscuits. He was taken to Monash Medical Centre by ambulance over health concerns. In court on 23 May, Sabitovic said he was not guilty of a lot of the allegations, but had done some thinking while in remand custody. “I want to be given the chance to do the mental health plan and to get treatment as part of the (community corrections order). “I’ve been in (prison) lockdown for 22 hours a day. It’s not good for me. “I want to give these rehab things a go. It’s not worth it anymore.” Magistrate Barry Schultz com-
mented that he often heard similar promises from people in Sabitovic’s position. He noted Sabitovic had extensive prior convictions, including previous jail terms. Mr Schultz said the accused had continued offending even after having a nine-month jail term converted to an 18-month community corrections order by the County Court in February. “All you’re going to get from this time forward are terms of imprisonment.” In bailing Sabitovic, Mr Schultz noted the accused had spent six weeks in custody and would be given “supports” on a CREDIT bail program. “There’s treatment available for you and I accept the custody conditions with significant lock-down are oppressive.” His bail conditions include daily reporting to police, night curfew, staying at a close relative’s address in Chelsea, not driving, not attending Northland and not using a drug of dependence.
Community backs grief-stricken family By GEORGIA WESTGARTH
Rajneesh with his late wife Sangeeta and their two children, aged 12 and four. 154590 a heartbroken husband, 12-year-old son and four-year-old daughter. Sangeeta was diagnosed with advanced leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of the uterus in April last year. But it was the recurring burglaries to the turnkey property which added strain and heartache to what has been a devastating turn of events. Thieves stripped the brand new home over three separate break-ins, taking with them a new video intercom, vanities, lighting, ducted heating, oven and cooktop and doorbell among other things. The couple had been planning and saving for the home for many years and relative Sanjeev told Star News the shock and continuous burglaries to the home Sangeeta and
Rajneesh (Raj) “built with so much love and hope” has “totally broken Raj”. “My sister and her family spent their whole lives living in a small flat, saving money to build a house of their dreams, but it is sad and a shame that it couldn’t happen,” Sanjeev said. Lucas was pleased to advise the family’s Cranbourne house sold subject to finance on Saturday 21 May. They are now renting in Cheltenham. Rajneesh’s father, who flew to Melbourne from India, had been catching the train from Cheltenham to Cranbourne every day for weeks to sit alone inside the house to protect it from thieves. 1202687-PB45-15
THE funds raised will go towards paying bills and living expenses, but the cards and words of support will stay with Rajneesh Sirohi and his children forever. Cranbourne was the community they had planned to move into with the greatest of aspirations. And although they may never get the opportunity to call it home, the Cranbourne community has wrapped their arms around the young family and raised more than $9000. It was director at Century 21 Results in Cranbourne, Lucas Petrovich, who decided to raise money for the grieving family who had hit rock bottom after the death of Rajneesh’s wife, Sangeeta Sirohi, and mother to their two children. He’s been called an “angel” by the late Sangeeta’s brother, Sanjeev, and will be delivering the cards and cash to Rajneesh- who he now calls a friend- within the next two weeks. After Star News published the hardship the family was facing in late April, messages of support with donations from $10 came flooding in to the real estate agency. “We raised around $300 after the story was published, and the cards said such nice things,” Lucas said. Lucas was chosen by Rajneesh to sell his family’s dream home, after deciding he couldn’t do it without his beloved wife, who passed on Sunday 10 January, leaving behind
“He sits in the lounge room, there’s no TV, in case of another break-in, he has been doing it for a month,” Lucas said. Century 21 Results has been raising money for more than a month, and Lucas said all kinds of people had made donations. “Some people that came in really didn’t have much money, you could tell that, but they still donated $50 here and there.” The most notable donations came from Samra Zizak ($1000), Jagmit Chug, Nuno Camara and Jodie Curran ($200), Glenn and Naomi Twiddle ($250) and $500 from an anonymous source. “One gentleman from Cranbourne offered Raj his house, he was going to let them move in with him,” Lucas said, shocked by the generosity. “One of the cards was from an 84-year-old with a $50 donationwithout a doubt the story has resonated with people.” When Lucas was five years old, he lost his father while building a family home. Lucas said he was so happy he could be of some help to Raj. “I think we have forged a bit of a bond and friendship, and I think in the future we will still catch up, and if I can help in any way in the future I will,” Lucas said. Donations can still be made to the Sirohi family by contacting Century 21 Results Cranbourne.

Uncle Sam's boarded up after the violent ram-raid on Sunday 22 May.
Stolen Cranny vehicle used in ram-raid A GANG of thieves with a crow bar threatened a Pakenham shop owner literally at arm’s length in an early morning ram-raid, using a car stolen from Cranbourne East. The violent burglary at Uncle Sam’s Food Mart milk bar on Eagle Drive in Pakenham has left the new business owners shocked. “I came out to the shop front and they had practically blown the whole door off. There was a man standing at arm’s length, who was yelling and screaming at me and trying to hit me with the crowbar,” the owner said. The shop front was rammed around 4.50am on Sunday 22 May, and is still under police investigation. Narre Warren Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Clark advised that a white Hyundai i45 2012 model was stolen from an address in Waterloo Road, Cranbourne East, and used in the attack. The Hyundai has since been recovered by police. It’s alleged a car stolen from Patterson Lakes was also used to force entry to the premises at which time four offenders entered, with at least one of the offenders armed with a crow bar. Police said demands were made and the offenders stole a small amount of confectionary items before decamping in a nearby parked car allegedly stolen from Cranbourne East. No injuries were sustained in the attack. Detectives advised that the offenders were last seen travelling along Balmoral Avenue and urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Letters A GREAT article regarding the ongoing Evans Road debacle (Good Evans! Fix it! Cranbourne News, 19 May). If there had been a state election in six weeks instead of federal you would almost bet Jude Perera would be there. However like most things in his electorate Jude is still known as the Ghost. We all feel sorry for Jude with his ongoing disease but the seat of Cranbourne deserves better than Jude Perera. Labor, Liberal or independent, it matters not, so long as there is a worker committed to the task such as Greg Hunt down the road in Hastings who never stops getting in and helping the community. Luke Donnellan should be able to fix this fiasco in 10 minutes flat given his current role and so close to Evans Road. Come on Luke, you are now the man at the coalface and not in opposition. Geoff Cousins, Cranbourne.
notice. I doubt a handful of objections will sway councillors. This is a council election year so there are other avenues for people to have an impact on the future direction of the City of Casey. For a $250 nomination fee most registered voters can run for councillor and have an opportunity to have their 150 words distributed to all voters in October. The City of Casey is hosting an information session for potential candidates from 7-9pm on Thursday 2 June at the Council Chambers, Civic Centre, Magid Drive, Narre Warren, next to Fountain Gate Shopping Centre. Being an election year, voters have the opportunity to return our existing councillors or alternatives. Having an interest in the future direction of Casey, I don’t believe exceeding the rate cap was appropriate and that will be my position when I’m a candidate for River Gum Ward. It will be interesting to see if rate rises have an impact on the election. Garry Page, Hampton Park.

BRIAN Oates in his letter (Facts Of The Matter, News, 19 May) stated the community’s opposition to Casey Council’s application to the Essential Services Commission (ESC) for an increase above the rate cap. I’d submitted a letter to the ESC (and City of Casey) on this topic. All I received were confirmation messages but my guess is the ESC will approve the rate increase and suggest Casey improves its community consultations. Casey council published a public notice asking for submissions from the community by 5pm Tuesday 21 June regarding the budget proposed for next year, etc. At a special meeting starting 6.30pm on Tuesday 28 June the council will consider all submissions from the community before passing the budget for next year. In their submissions people can request to address the councillors. This is basically one of the few times people may be allocated time to directly address a council meeting. Casey council has made changes based upon one of my budget submissions. So don’t think they will automatically dismiss everything you say. If thousands of people objected to this rate rise I’m certain councillors would take
AT THE council meeting on 17 May, the Casey Residents and Ratepayer group attended and put forward eight questions to be answered in question time. We must thank council for having all our questions answered even though council went past their 30-word limit that is imposed on us. Before the end of the council meeting we still had one member in the gallery and the mayor made a comment that our group comes to the meeting, throws hand grenades and leaves. This is very unprofessional of our mayor if this is the case. Everyone in the community has a right to attend these meetings and ask questions whether he likes it or not. Our group also respects the hard work put in by so many council employees and management. Rex Flannery, Narre Warren South.
Question of time I ATTENDED the Casey meeting on Tuesday 17 May. I was there for public question time having submitted two questions.
At the end of the public question time, the mayor thanked all for their questions and then went on to say that questions were not well researched and lacking in factuality. Perhaps if he read the Casey Public Question Time Policy he would know that no question can be more than 30 (words), very limited, and there is no provision for attaching files of support evidence. Makes a mockery of question time! Arvo Talvik, Cranbourne.
We're doing the cleaning up MR FOLEY wanted council to ‘get its own house in order’ rather than campaigning to VicRoads to clean up graffiti on their assets (Get Your Own House In Order, News, 19 May). Council’s advocacy through its Clean Up Your Act campaign and its proposal to install signs led to the State Government committing $300,000 to clean up graffiti on Monash Freeway. Following the State’s announcement, council immediately put its planned signs on hold. Mr Foley referenced a number of sites vandalised by graffiti that he chose not to report directly to council. While Mr Foley waited for the paper to print, council was busy cleaning up the graffiti at John Pandazopoulos Hall. As Mr Foley has not contacted council to identify further graffiti locations, instead vaguely citing ‘bus stops around Casey’, we are unable to act. The writer is concerned about the Frawley Road bridge in Doveton. This is a VicRoads asset (one of many) they must clean. This is why in Mr Foley’s words ‘we were hammering them’. Eradicating graffiti requires a whole of community effort to report it so the responsible bodies can respond. Council’s program remains one of the most comprehensive in the state. In 2014/15 we responded to almost 3000 reports of graffiti (including those on privately owned property), removing 33,743 square metres of the vandalism at a cost of $334,000. I encourage residents to actively report graffiti (don’t assume someone else will) via 1800 VANDAL or email caseycc@casey.vic. gov.au so council can take swift action to remove it. Cr Sam Aziz, Mayor, City of Casey.

IN ITS third year of operation, Clyde North’s Rivercrest Christian College has officially opened a flexible learning space for its growing cohort of prep students. The young school and its 65 preps have been utilising the three classrooms and two offices since term one. La Trobe MP Jason Wood officially opened the space on Wednesday 18 May. The Australian Government provided $600,000 in funding from the Capital Grants Programme toward the growing school’s facilities. The college now has 255 students. Wendy Height from the college said the school community is growing every year and its facilities need to keep pace. “It was purpose built for our prep students and we need new buildings each year to cater for our growth,” she said. Mr Wood said the new learning spaces take into account the “latest in education research” and “will see students learn more effectively”. A BLIND Bight man has been charged by the City of Casey with offences under the Domestic Animals Act and City of Casey Community Local Law 2/2010. More than 20 dogs were reported to the RSPCA and the Casey council in April. RESIDENTS can decide the future of Berwick’s Old Cheese Factory. The City of Casey is inviting them to have their say on the draft Old Cheese Factory master plan and help shape the future use and development of the popular facility. Casey council has developed a draft master plan, incorporating community and stakeholder feedback, which outlines a range of
The disorder is defined as not coping with life or a particular stress in the short-term. “That’s something which a psychologist could find in everyone in this room if they look hard enough,” the judge thundered at a defence lawyer. So as not to offend the lawyer, the judge said he included himself in the mass diagnosis. In lieu of community work, the accused was ordered to pay off $17,500 of unpaid fines at the rate of $300 a month.

Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the number of visitors to the Old Cheese Factory had increased by more than 200 per cent in the past four years. “More than 142,562 people visited the site in the 2014-15 financial year,” he said. Casey residents and visitors to the site have until Monday 6 June to submit their thoughts on the draft master plan. Those who complete the survey can go in the draw to win a $100 voucher for the Homestead Cafe or the hire of a room for a casual function at the venue valued at up to $190.

A Dandenong-based magistrate gave little stock to a psychologist’s conclusion that an accused couldn’t do community work because of the disorder.
A JUDGE meanwhile pulled another accused man back from the precipice. The offender seemed in a hurry to wrap up a case - even to plead guilty to a charge he knew nothing about. Unfortunately, the charge of assaulting an emergency services worker carried a mandatory six-month jail term - unless there are exceptional circumstances. The judge replied: “I’m not relying on you without you having legal advice. “I’m not proceeding with your recommendation to protect you, sir.” The judge stood the matter down for the accused to seek a legal opinion. MAGISTRATE Barry Schultz was narrowly spared from having to drill down into a police witness’s family history. But for the absence of a ‘t’ in his surname, witness Schulz was allowed to continue to give evidence. Though not after a gentle enquiry from the bench along the lines of ‘are we related’. Reassured by an on-the-spot spell check, the judge commented he may otherwise have had to stand down from the case.

Intervention order breach By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A CRANBOURNE man has been jailed for repeated intervention order breaches - including angrily throwing fruit inside the family home. Magistrate Barry Schultz told the 47-year-old on 23 May he had little sentencing options but to jail him after the accused refused a community corrections order due to chronic back pain. “I can understand chronic pain affects one’s mental health, well-being and impacts on relationships. I’m sympathetic to him,” Mr Schultz said. “However, these are contraventions of orders and every attempt has been made to assist him rehabilitate himself. “Really, there’s only one alternative left to me, isn’t there?” The man had breached an exclusion from the family house several times in May and hurled fruit during an argument with his wife over shopping, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told. The man told police he didn’t intend to strike the wife with the fruit, but just to cause fear. He allegedly called her a “f***ing idiot”, “moron” and “bitch”. On 12 May, the wife took
refuge in Cranbourne McDonalds’, and used the store’s phone to call for help from police. The man was arrested at the home, made full admissions and was remanded in custody for the next 11 days. In April, he had been placed on a community corrections order over two counts of unlawful assault against the wife as well as possessing cannabis and a prohibited weapon. But he’d breached the order by not attending appointments and committing the further offences, the court was told. “It may sound aggressive, but he won’t be able to comply with (another) CCO,” defence lawyer Adam Maloney said - citing the man’s chronic back pain due to a workplace injury, financial woes and lack of transport. “He’s concerned that he’s setting himself up to fail.” The man’s wife pleaded to the court to vary the intervention order to allow him back. “He’s a good man,” she said, adding that their 20-yearmarriage had recently gone sour due to their deep financial struggles and her husband’s continuing four-year battle for WorkCover compensation. They were barely subsisting

on Centrelink payments in the meantime. They had sold up two investment properties and a car, spent the liquid assets and gone into arrears at their matrimonial home, the court was told. “I want him to come home legally,” the wife said. “I wanted him to work out our problems without him breaking the law. “He did nothing wrong.” The man told the court he’d returned because he had nowhere else to go. He complained of his neck “just about broken” from sleeping on a concrete floor, and of snapped tendons in his fingers going untreated while in custody. “I’m in a lot of pain ... I’ve been watching us lose everything we’ve worked hard for.” Mr Schultz cancelled the CCO and jailed the man for 30 days - a sentence that was “as low as I can go”. He also varied the intervention order to allow the man to live at the family home after he was released from jail. “Courts don’t want to impose ourselves in family homes. “You have serious issues, but you’ve got to man up and be above all that.”

Car arson abounds on weekend 1224674-LB16-16
CARS don’t have to be stolen to get set on fire in Cranbourne. A string of car fires over the weekend kept police busy from Cranbourne to Eumemmerring, with four vehicles sent up in flames in three days. The trend started on Friday 20 May about 3.30am in Staunton Walk, Cranbourne East where a stolen 2003 Ford sedan was parked and set on fire. Later that night, about 10.20pm in Lace Street Eumemmerring, a Holden Commodore
sedan had its parts stripped before it was set alight. The 2000 model was parked in a factory car park, and found by police and CFA missing its engine and wheels. The car was extensively damaged in the fire, and the police investigation is ongoing. The following day a black Holden Commodore sedan was also targeted at the John Pandazopoulos hall car park in Doveton. The final blaze engulfed a
2000 Nissan Pulsar sedan which was parked on Frankston-Cranbourne Road in Cranbourne South on Sunday 22 May. Narre Warren Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Clark advised that the car wasn’t stolen, but that it had been parked on the side of the road facing south-west, because the driver had “run out of petrol”. “The car had been parked there for a couple of days,” Det Clark said. “Significant damage was done to the vehicle.”

Intruder confronts woman in bedroom A WOMAN was confronted by an intruder in her Clyde North home while she was lying down in an upstairs room. A man who police have released a FACE image of 70 per cent likeness smashed a rear sliding door to gain access to
the property in Como Parade about 7.20pm on Saturday 7 May. The man stole an iPad before going upstairs to where the woman was lying down. She was confronted by the male in her bedroom. The man is described as be-
ing 20 to 25 years old of Caucasian appearance, with short hair and clean shaven. He was wearing a white hoodie with red writing on it. A hoodie of the same description has been reported to police before.

IT WAS a battle which embroiled big business, Casey council, Australia Post and shoppers and it has ended in a big win for Shopping on Clyde customers. After months of campaigning for a post office or sub agency at the new centre on Berwick-Cranbourne Road, Australia Post has announced that discussions are underway to provide a postal presence within an existing business at Shopping on Clyde. After more than three years of campaigning for a postal service at the centre - which opened in December last year - owner Jodie Mitchell from Clarkson Developments said she is ecstatic about the news. “I’m thrilled very, very excited and
it’s exactly what the community needs, it’s fantastic,” Ms Mitchell said. In February an Australia Post spokesperson told Star News: “While Australia Post will continue to monitor the needs of the Clyde community, we do not believe an additional post office is required at this point in time.” But months of community and council action has been rewarded with a service which will deliver a range of postal products, including stamps, prepaid satchels, Express Post satchels and the ability to weigh and send mail and parcels. In a statement from Australia Post, Victorian Regional Manager Roger Revere said: “We have listened to feedback from the Cranbourne community and will be making
a range of postal products and services available from an existing retailer within Shopping on Clyde.” “Over the next few weeks we’ll be in contact with a number of businesses in the centre to assess their interest and suitability for taking on these services for customers and will communicate the new arrangements as soon as all the necessary details are confirmed,” he said. After being inundated with requests for a postal facility since the centre opened, Ms Mitchell enlisted the help of the Casey council and presented it a petition of more than 1000 signatures earlier this year. Ms Mitchell said the centre’s foot traffic reaches up to 8000 people each day.
Skyline exhaust hit wrong note A CRANBOURNE man’s boisterous Nissan Skyline has left him coughing up a fine of nearly $800 for exceeding vehicle noise limits. The Frankston Magistrates’ Court recently upheld Environment Protection Authority Victoria’s (EPA) decision to fine him. The man was pulled over in his Skyline last year in Frankston, as part of a joint blitz with the EPA and Victoria Police. When EPA officers tested the car they found it was much noisier than the legal limit, with
the likely cause being an aftermarket exhaust system the man had fitted to the vehicle. Under the Environment Protection Act 1970 (the EP Act) it is an offence against the registered owner or driver of a vehicle for it to exceed prescribed noise standards. The man was issued with a notice to obtain a certificate of compliance from an approved noise tester, and make whatever repairs were needed to be within legal noise limits. The matter landed in court when he challenged a fine issued by EPA over the offence.
EPA Regulatory Practice and Strategy Executive Director, Chris Webb said the court’s decision reinforced the seriousness of noise pollution and the importance of EPA’s monitoring program. “EPA officers regularly join Victoria Police on roadside operations and this decision shows the community can have confidence in our continued efforts to target noisy vehicles,” Mr Webb said. Mr Webb said fines for exceeding noise limits were $758 for individuals and $1516 for a company car.

Rise on rate A better way to… By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
CASEY Residents and Ratepayers Association has accused the council of putting its “head in the sand” over a decade of rates rises allegedly totalling about 90 per cent. In its draft budget released on 25 May, the council announced a 3.47 per cent rate rise - 0.97 per cent above the stateimposed rates cap. It is subject to approval by the Essential Services Commission. Ratepayers association spokesman Brendan Browne said the council wouldn’t acknowledge that “gross rates and charges” per assessment rose from $933 in 2006 to $1768 in 2015-16. He said the rise was about 60 per cent above inflation. “We want council to acknowledge that this is a large increase for residents to absorb and to withdraw their plans to increase rates beyond CPI again,” Mr Browne said.

“Casey has a high number of people experiencing mortgage stress or on relatively low incomes. “Yet our rates are more than double that of some of the inner city municipalities, such as Stonnington.” At a council meeting on 17 May, Mayor Sam Aziz defended the council’s desire to raise rates above the rates cap during a series of questions from the association. He said it was an “absolute fallacy” that the $125 million Bunjil Place project had contributed to the plus-CPI rise. “This will not impact on the rates base by one cent.” The project was funded by a combination of cash reserves, a loan accounted for by previous and current budgets and a $10 million federal grant, he said. In response to the claimed 90 per cent rates rise over the past 10 years, Cr Aziz said it wasn’t clear whether the association’s workings were based
on an individual property or average property rates. He said the rises included a large increase in the state’s landfill levy, street-lighting network charges, asset renewal as well as cost-shifting by the State Government. Casey was one of few councils to refund ratepayers after the federal Carbon Tax was scrapped, he said. At the end of the meeting Cr Aziz said it was “fascinating” that association members had left soon after throwing “hand grenades” in public question time. “There’s a difference between people here to work and those who turn up to throw a hand grenade and leave. “They asked a number of questions that I answered comprehensively then they leave. “They are happy to criticise Casey but not to hang around and listen to all the good things being done in Casey.”

POLICE arrested two teens and are looking for a third over the alleged theft of an Audi. “Our main message to this young lad is hand yourself in because it will only be a matter of time before we find you,” Operation Cosmas Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Ivan Bobetic said. Investigators arrested the boys just before noon on Friday 20 May following reports of an erratically-driven vehicle
in Lynbrook. They found the car dumped near Westernport Highway and caught a 17-yearold from Hampton Park and a 16-year-old from Dandenong North nearby. They were taken into custody and police said they would oppose bail. Investigators are calling for public help to identify the third boy who fled on foot and was described as Middle Eastern in appearance. Police said the Audi was sto-
len during an aggravated burglary in Caulfield on 13 April and that it was used in several other incidents including robberies, armed robberies and traffic offences. Cosmas involves police from across the southern metropolitan region and is aimed at combating a rise in burglaries and car-jackings.

ONE family walked away from the Tulliallan display village opening on 14 May with $1000 in their pockets, while others left with the knowledge that they had found their dream home. Hundreds of people flocked to the opening of Melbourne’s newest display village at the popular Cranbourne North estate. Many fell in love with Tulliallan the moment they saw its majestic century-old elm trees. The trees form the centrepiece of the Historic Elm Tree Park and are positioned opposite the future picnic and barbecue area. Others were impressed with the estate’s surrounding amenities which include ready access to schools, shops, restaurants and transport. More than 220 people already call Tulliallan home, with more set to the join them after Saturday’s successful launch. Sales manager Delena Bajada-Gardner said the turnout was “fantastic“. “There were a lot of families, including second and third home buyers. It was also great to see young couples here wanting to
make their start at Tulliallan.“ As they wandered through the grand display homes, crowds were entertained by a children’s carousel, petting zoo, face painting and train. They enjoyed food from an array of food vans and, for the little ones, Peppa Pig made a special appearance. A young family with two children pocketed $1000 after winning a competition which involved collecting stamps from each of the participating builders. Tulliallan’s land owner and developer Peter White also made a $1000 donation to the Cranbourne CFA, while Cranbourne Rotary also benefitted from the day. Mrs Bajada-Gardner said the display village was a showcase for 15 of Melbourne’s top builders. “Tulliallan has a fantastic environment and a real community feel. Many of the people at Saturday’s opening who had never been to Tulliallan before were very impressed.“ Experience Tulliallan for yourself and visit the new display village at 272 Alisma Boulevard, Cranbourne North.

Kinder places Wedding Planner are delivered By GEORGIA WESTGARTH
Casey kinder students checked out their new digs in Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Cranbourne West. 154433 Mayone Bulluk Bunurong. The Department of Education and Training contributed $1.6 million towards the centre which brings family services and kindergarten under the one roof. The City of Casey also contributed. Just days before the centre’s opening Bass MP Brian Paynter slammed the State Government’s kindergarten contribution to growth areas. “There’s only one kinder in Clyde and it has hit capacity this year at 135 children,” he said. “The State Government only allocated $10 million, we need access to more funding than that if we are to ensure it’s allocated to our areas.”
Casey council statistics show council-operated kindergarten enrolments alone grew by nine per cent since 2014. “We really want to encourage people to live in these areas, but there are basic infrastructure needs that are a State Government responsibility,” Mr Paynter said. The $10 million injection comes on top of the State Government’s $50 million plan to provide modern and flexible early childhood centres across Victoria. The Mayone-bulluk Family and Community Centre is located at 66 Bradman Drive, Cranbourne West. For further details and bookings call the City of Casey on 9705 5590.

Free hairdo for homeless IT’S a feeling the homeless rarely get - the feeling of stepping out with a new hairdo. Hairdresser Kara Rangitonga wants to give those struggling - of no fixed address - the chance to feel confident again. It’s called ‘Style For A Smile’, it’s free and it’s taking off in the south-east. Ms Rangitonga, who has never been homeless herself but has “been down on her luck”, said she wanted 2016 to be the year. “I just felt like I wanted to give back this year, more than any other year,” Ms Rangitonga said. “I’ve always thought about volunteering at a soup kitchen or something, and I haven’t got around to it. “But last Christmas holi-
days, I saw a video of a girl in the US doing something similar and I thought, I can do that.” Ms Rangitonga along with six other hairdressers who are volunteering their time will cut hair for the homeless and those doing it tough for five hours on Saturday 28 May. Support service centres across the south-east have been given 120 vouchers for a free haircut and Ms Rangitonga and her team of helpers expect to cut up to 140 people’s hair on the day. “The Narre Community Learning Centre were kind enough to lend us their salon for the day,” she said. The local community have assisted in making personal hygiene goodie bags to be given to those that need it most on the day.
Ms Rangitonga, a hairdresser of 23 years, said after some research she realised feel good outlets such as free haircuts for the homeless were limited in Melbourne. “There’s a lot in the way of clothes washing and showering and food, but nothing to do with boosting confidence. “Haircuts can help people feel better about themselves and boost how we feel for the rest of the day- and that’s a free feeling.” Blankets, clothes, shoes and handbags have been donated to Style For A Smile for clients to pick through after their haircut. The Style For A Smile team will be at the Narre Community Learning Centre from 10am to 3pm on Saturday 28 May.
Changes make fine payments easier THE State Government has answered Casey support workers' calls for a simple online solution to the accumulated traffic fines that Casey motorists are racking up. Reports show almost 30,000 Casey drivers, about 10 per cent of residents, owe $102 million in road fines. The Casey North Information and Support Service had called for a fines amnesty- instead the State Government overhauled its infringement system. Acting Police Minister Rob-
in Scott released a statement on Thursday 19 May, saying 'we have changed Victoria's fines to make them simpler and clearer so that people can deal with them quickly without incurring unnecessary costs. 'Nobody likes to receive a fine but by redesigning the notices and using clearer language it makes the process of paying more efficient.' The changes are meant to allow motorists to deal with their speeding and tolling fines faster with clearer and simpler infringement notices.
The easier-to-understand fines will now start appearing in letterboxes with other types of infringement notices to follow in the coming months. The simplified online payment options have been altered to use simple language to inform people of their rights, including the right to have their fine reviewed where appropriate and their responsibilities when they receive a fine. For more information about the new notices or to pay a fine, people can visit www.fines.vic. gov.au.

IN a boost to early childhood education in Casey, a new 120-place family and community centre has opened its doors in Cranbourne West. The much-needed $4.1 million Mayone-bulluk Family and Community Centre officially opened on Thursday 19 May. The centre includes three playrooms for four-year-old kindergarten, two maternal and child health consulting rooms, and a multi-purpose space with a kitchen. Outdoor areas will also be made available for community use and hire, along with free public wi-fi access. Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos was joined by Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera and City of Casey Mayor Sam Aziz at the opening. Cr Aziz said the area’s population was driven by young families and the service would help keep up with demand while paying respects to the region’s history. “This facility was named after a local Bunurong clan and features Indigenous public art and an Aboriginal mural inside, acknowledging the significant Indigenous history of the area and its community,” Cr Aziz said. “The Bunurong people are Indigenous people from southeast Victoria and are made up of a number of clans or family groups.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Senator’s call to build the future By CASEY NEILL “MANUFACTURING keeps this country moving. We need manufacturing.“ Senator Kim Carr couldn’t have stated more clearly his support for the industry in Dandenong’s Drum Theatre. He was the keynote speaker at the Smart Manufacturing ’16 - Dandenong and South East Melbourne on Show symposia on Tuesday 17 May. About 350 people attended the first session and more than 1500 registered for the event, which was part of a wider showcase that surrounded Harmony Square. Students from schools across the region, businesspeople and the general public flocked in their hundreds to view displays from successful manufacturers. Pre-recorded stories from various businesses and live crosses played on the Harmony Square big screen and trains, trams and buses blocked Walker Street. Mr Carr said manufacturing was “the key to a strong and advanced industrial economy“ and employed nearly 9000 Australians. He said Federal Government support for research and development, education, and bolstering overseas competitiveness was crucial - particularly given the impending departure of key automotive companies from Australia. “The shutdown of the major car makers doesn’t mean the end of the industry,“ he said. “I’m confident there will be an automotive sector in Austraila after 2017.“ Walkinshaw Automotive’s Lisa Dwyer explained at the Clayton company’s display that it employed 200 people and made Holden special vehicles. “Days like these keep people interested in engineering - and doing it in Australia,“ she said. It also imports left-hand drive cars, pulls them apart and converts them to right-hand drive, and
Etta helps Brianna, 16, from Cranbourne to plant her snow pea seedling in recycled top soil. has engineer and design staff that also produce work for other companies. “With the looming exit of the car industry we want to diversify and keep people employed,“ she said. Dandenong Primary School teacher Nicolette Pratt was leading 45 Grade 5 students on a quest around the event zone, a question-sheet in hand and the answers pinned to various stalls.

“We wanted to know what Dandenong makes,“ she said. “They were amazed to see the trains.“ A farm to plate section featured produce from Officer juice producer Summer Snow, Clyde’s Australian Fresh Leaf Herbs, and Gembrook potato powerhouse Mountain Harvest Foods.

liveable in 15 minutes - created in Dandenong. “We’re developing a unit for a field hospital,“ Ian Harrison from Maddel said. “This is the first year we’ve had manufacturing capacity. “This is the year we’re really going to launch.“ Dandenong South’s Hilton Manufacturing put on a barbecue to raise cash for State Schools’ Relief Fund, which supplies school uniforms to underprivileged children. Managing director Todd Hartley said they had 1500 snags to cook - or one every nine seconds and hoped to raise $1000. He also had traffic management screens on display and new LED outdoor entertainment systems. “We’ve been round for 35 years as a subcontractor to businesses,“ Mr Hartley said. “This is our first time owning our own intellectual property. “It’s a change of direction for the business.“ IVECO brought a 1969 Acco truck alongside two new vehicles. The Dandenong-based company sourced it from a farm shed in Dolby, Queensland, for Linfox for its 40th birthday celebrations. Linfox originally use it to deliver Carlton and United Breweries products. Ward Petherbridge from Waste Converters and Committee for Dandenong set up an interactive display, including painting and planting - all with recycled materials at the centre. The Dandenong South company is applying for Future Industries Fund cash for a $15-$20 million integrated resource recovery facility project, which will harvest recyclables and convert residual waste into fuel. Chromaflo Technologies invited guests to create their own paint colours. The Dandenong South manufacturer produces colouring for paint, plastics and more.

Jan’s popular Afghan treats EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FRESHPOINT Kebabs make no ordinary meat on a stick, nor is its proprietor an ordinary man. The Hampton Park eatery cooks up Afghan-style kebabs in lamb, chicken and shami - which is a fine-minced lamb - that are coated with a mild, pleasant hide of spices and cut into generous cubes. The kebabs are served on the plate with flat bread and fresh garden salad, as well as a garlic raita and a citrus vinegar dressing that are created on the premises. They are popular dishes for a growing Afghan community moving into Casey which is hungry for its national food. But in truth owner Jan Shafahi sates a diversity of diners with charcoal tandoori chicken and chips, dim sims, Turkish-style kebab and lamb curry as well as Afghan dumplings filled with either spinach (ashak) or meat (mantu). “This shop is not like other shops,” the former asylum seeker said. “I try to bring in a lot of different customers.” His giant flat breads sell for $1 and have built a giant following. They are baked in vertical tandoori ovens each day, selling before they’ve barely cooled.

Brendan Fevola.
Allstars take to the stage BRENDAN Fevola versus Marc Holt - it’s a promoter’s dream and sure to fill Doveton’s Robinson Reserve on Saturday night when the former Carlton star meets the local goal-kicking legend. Fevola, the two-time Coleman Medallist and three-time All-Australian, will line up for Doveton in a one-off cameo appearance against Cranbourne - runners-up of the last four years and with Holt as their focal point. But Fevola versus Holt is just the beginning, with a stellar support cast threatening to steal the spotlight on a night when the Doveton Football Club will celebrate its rich Indigenous heritage in a specially designed jumper. Turn the page for more on a big week of football action.
FROM almost giving away the sport to becoming a state swimming champion, Liam Buttner’s mindset has certainly undergone a complete 180. Buttner, 12, from Berwick, booked his spot on the School Sport Victoria (SSV) swimming team after an impressive summer in the pool ... but it almost never came to fruition as he came close to quitting the sport. Persevering with the sport is starting to reap rewards for the distance swimmer and it started in earnest last year with a silver medal in the 200m freestyle at the Swimming Victoria short course championships, representing his Casey TigerSharks club. He backed up that achievement in the long-course meet with two freestyle medals - silver in 100m and bronze in the 200m. “I actually wanted to quit because it was too hard to get back into it (after a holiday), but suddenly I just shot up and I was going really good,” Buttner said. “I felt like I was going nowhere and it was just training and I didn’t really want to go to training - I didn’t want to do competitions our anything. “But I went to a couple of meets then I started getting better at meets
and the competitions and I kept getting better and better - and I moved up a squad as well.” The Beaconhills student tried out for the team and received the good news recently that he’ll be on the plane to Darwin for the national championships in September. “I feel really happy because I’ve been swimming for quite a while and I’ve actually only been getting really good at states for a few years,” Buttner said. “I’m happy I made such a big jump - last year I tried out and didn’t make it, so I’m happy I made it this year.” He’s got a full plate at the national schoolboys swimming championships at this stage - featuring at least in the 100m butterfly, 200m individual medley as well as 100m and 200m freestyle - and all he wants to do is push his times and keep improving. “I’d be happy if I could make one final, would be really great if I could make two finals,” Buttner said. “I just want to swim PBs and just see what happens cause it is my first nationals.” He’s also a keen triathlete and wants to pursue it as well as swimming, after getting his first taste for the sport in the Gatorade triathlon series. Buttner wanted to thank his parents for supporting his swimming.

Yabby Clark is now a Panther - it’s official By RUSSELL BENNETT THE West Gippsland Cricket Association (WGCA) arms race just continues to escalate, with reigning District division player of the year Scott Clark switching from the newly-promoted Pakenham Upper-Toomuc to Devon Meadows. Clark, who led the Yabbies to the 2015/16 District premiership as captain-coach, scored 559 runs at an average of 37.3 and took 46 wickets at 10.6 on the way to winning the division’s highest individual honour. He was also one of the WGCA’s best contributors in February’s Country Week carnival. Clark said the move from Yabbieland to Glover Reserve was mainly due to family reasons. The Hampton Park resident said he wanted to cut down on both his travel time and cricketing commitments to spend more time with his partner Kylie and their kids. Clark heads to Devon Meadows to play under newly-appointed player-coach Ash Adams and alongside great mate Matt Hutchinson. The Yabbies now face the prospect of heading into the competition’s Premier tier (assuming the league retains its 2015/16 structure) without its two best players from the District premiershipwinning team after Ben Spicer departed for Kooweerup. Nick Fairbank has also been linked with a move elsewhere. “I rang Vick (club president Vicky Downes) and told her why I was leaving,” Clark said. “I told the club it had absolutely nothing to do
with money, it’s about family. “I just felt like I’d put (my partner) Kylie and the kids on the backburner over the past two years - I’d been committed to trying to get that club back into Premier. I had a job to do and I was purely focussed on that, and probably didn’t focus enough on the family. “This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make, but it’s one I had to make. “The club is in a good position - Vicky and the committee have the club in a good place and I think they’re really going to move forward. I’ve made a lot of good friends up there and I’ll still be going up there to functions and to have a beer with everyone. I rang the players, individually, and explained my reasons for moving on and every single one of them was fantastic about it.” In addition to winning last season’s District title with the Yabbies, Clark was also part of Kooweerup’s Premier division premiership side in 2014. Devon Meadows president Mick Floyd said he was thrilled to have Clark at Glover Reserve moving forward. “Getting a player of Scott’s talent and experience is obviously a major coup for the club,” he said. “His performance on the field speaks for itself - he’ll be a great addition on the field and will be good fit off it. We’re very excited to welcome him to Pantherland.” Ash Adams arrived at Glover Reserve at the start of last season and had an immediate impact -
claiming 26 wickets at 20.5 and making 309 runs at 25.75 in 14 games at District level. The Panthers ultimately came unstuck in the semi-finals at the hands of Clyde, and Adams said that disappointment - along with the challenge of coaching a playing group hungry for success - led him to putting his hand up for the job. “To not win the whole thing last season was pretty disappointing,” Adams said. “There’s a lot of talent available at the club and with a lot of promising juniors coming through the long term future is very bright, but there are a lot of things we need to do better on the field if we’re going to win now. “It’s going to be a challenge but I’m looking forward to it.” In other news from across the WGCA, Pakenham premiership player Steven Dillon has taken on the role of player coach at Jindivick in the Warragul and District Cricket Association - with fellow former Lions Harley Hulme, Shannon Mitchell and Aaron Beveridge joining him; former Cardinia coach Simon Parrott has signed on with Merinda Park as coaching director behind new senior coach Dylan Cuthbertson; former Bulls seamer Brayden Browne will link up with former Kooweerup gun Michael Giles at Korumburra; and former Bulls opening bowler Dean Henwood has signed on at Nar Nar GoonMaryknoll alongside new head coach Daniel Glen, assistant coach Adam Cooper, Nathan Phillips from Carrum Downs and Jamie Glen from Devon Meadows.

Scorpions show heart By JARROD POTTER VFL - ROUND 7 REVIEW UNITED, hard-edged and determined - this is the new look Casey Scorpions. The days of alignment in name only are done. Whether Melbourne top-brass, Casey up-andcomer or anything in between - the Scorpions and Demons have turned the page and are finally pushing in the same direction. Results are speaking to that unity - and then some - as the Scorpions fought back to take a seven-point victory over Box Hill on Saturday night. Even with late outs to Lynden Dunn and Ben Newton - held over as emergencies for Melbourne’s match on Sunday against Brisbane - the Scorpions’ arsenal was well-stocked and able to handle the best Box Hill efforts. Box Hill’s ferocious first term attack caught Casey off-guard as the visitors’ surge from halfback generated huge overlaps and punched holes in the Scorpions’ defence. But the second term flipped the script as the Hawks struggled to contain the expansion Scorpions’ sting. A six-goal onslaught looked like killing off the visitors, but neither side could deliver the final blow ... until right at the end. Box Hill fought back through the third term and had their chances in the fourth to take the victory - especially an out of bounds attempt on goal from Brendan Whitecross - but it boiled down to time in forward half and Casey locked in it doggedly. Angus Scott got a snap out of the bottom of a huge pack to give the Scorpions the lead, but Box Hill rebounded immediately to goal through Teia Miles (four goals). One last surge was going to win it and for the home-town brigade, it fell Casey’s way. Mitch White booted it long to the square where Chris Dawes ran onto the loose pill and slotted the match-winner. The in-and-under work from Jack Grimes and Jack Trengove showed the way and the rest of the side rallied behind the Scorpions’ leaders James
Munro and Jack Hutchins from the last line. Dawes (three goals) had his best game in the Casey uniform - presenting and marking well in the dewy conditions as well as breaking open packs and brushing aside would-be tacklers. “It’s hard not to get excited about it but we want to keep improving - I think the more time we spend together the better we’ll get,” Casey coach Justin Plapp said. “With alignments it’s a little ‘lady’s luck’ at times with injuries and we’re really lucky that we’ve got a healthy list.” Dandenong Stingrays/Beaconsfield Tommy Glen, Aaron Vandenberg and former Garfield/Noble Park midfielder Dylan Collis made their VFL debuts and impressed. Casey takes a week off for the state-game bye before it hosts Port Melbourne on Sunday 5 June from 2pm in another high-calibre showdown. Tim Smith is the only Scorpion to make the 25man squad, after he was a late-call up to the VFL side to take on the SANFL at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday 29 May.

up her sleeve. “As far as bonding goes it’s the best group of girls I’ve seen, they all just clicked, played as a team, and really played for each other which probably made the difference in the end,” she said. Tiana Butler, Hailey Galpin and Caity Stephens were reliable defenders over the first three quarters before handing over to Caitlin Egan and Mia Palmer in the last. Chloe Bluhm, Emma Jones and Madi Nation were terrific through the midcourt, while Tamika Cairns and under-age player Kyra Esler starred in the attacking ring.

fence, joined by Olivia Hunt, Kara Hargrave and finally Kaela Hughes in the second half. Hughes, Erin Clark and Winter’s co-captain Leigh Taylor all made significant contributions through the midcourt. Taylor’s tenacity was rewarded with the best on court medallion for her side. The hallmark of SEFNL’s 17 and Under victory over Murray was an unbreakable team spirit. The two goal, 32-30, victory looked unlikely at three-quarter time, with Murray on top after a 10 goal to five third quarter turned a two-goal deficit into a three-goal lead.

THERE were mixed results for the South East Football Netball League’s finest players on Saturday, with a great win to the juniors and an agonising loss to the seniors in the interleague clash against Murray at Mulwala. The senior squad went down 37-36 in a game that looked theirs for the keeping heading into the final term. Scores were locked at both quarter time and half time, but when South East’s finest scored 13 goals to seven in the third term, to take a six-goal lead at the final break, they looked to have finally broken the homeside’s spirit. But a gutsy comeback from Murray, who scored 11 goals to four in the final term, left the SEFNL team a frustrated lot at the final whistle. “Yeah it is really frustrating, take nothing away from Murray but it feels like one of those games that we lost rather than them taking it off us,” co-coach Jade Heinrich said. There were some great battles all over the court, Pakenham’s Meaghan Winter playing four quarters in centre, with Murray’s Emma McDonald, Abbey Pettifer and Lisa Barnes all taking a shot at the champ throughout the day.

SEFNL’s invincibles By DAVID NAGEL MICHAEL ‘Jock’ Holland and his new-look army of South East Football Netball League invincibles have done it again, making it five consecutive victories with a 27-point win over a gallant Murray League at Mulwala on Saturday. SEFNL becomes just the second league in the state to have triumphed in all five contests since an interleague restructure in 2012, joining the number one ranked Geelong with a perfect record. It elevates SEFNL to the number eight ranked country league, and to 12 overall across metropolitan and country Victoria. A true era of dominance has seen the boys from the South East rise from a lowly ranking of 17 in 2012, placed there by a blissfully unaware VCFL at the time. But there’s no more hiding the talent we have at our disposal after another momentous victory over a quality opponent. SEFNL started strongly in the first term but were unable to capitalise on the brilliant work of Scott Meyer in the ruck, and the exquisite ball use of Luke Walker into the forward line. It was left to Ben Kearns to keep the Demons in touch, his two first-quarter goals answered with three from the home side who set up their run and carry with numbers behind the ball. SEFNL trailed by seven points at quarter time. Murray dangerman Tyler Jones kicked the home-side out to a 13-point lead at the start of the second term, before Tooradin forward Andrew Dean led a spirited SEFNL revival. Dean showed his versatility in kicking three for the quarter, with a long bomb, a banana, and finally a dribble kick showing his full vocation. Pakenham youngster Jake Smith also kicked two, while midfielders Luke Bee-Hugo, Josh Tonna, Shaun Marusic and Josh Muling were getting plenty of hands on the ball. SEFNL led by five points at the main break. Tonna started the third quarter brilliantly for the Demons, as did Meyer, with goals to Kearns and Dean kicking the visitors out to a 17-point advantage. Brandon and Glenn Osborne, Ash Smith and Daniel Battaglin were superb for the Demons down back, while the run-and-carry of Anthony Vella showed the home-side up for leg speed. When Bee-Hugo capitalised on the brave efforts of skipper Micky Harold, the Demons had opened up a 23-point lead at the 16-minute mark and looked home. But Murray responded with late goals to Damian Williams and Jones to cut the margin back to 10 by the final break. Holland challenged his players at three-quarter time, asking Meyer and Walker for the ultimate effort and for youngsters Zac Roscoe and Jake Smith to open up the Murray defence with their young legs. He also asked his side for the supreme sacrifice. “Understand and be very clear on this, this could take to that last contest to get over the line,” he said. The Demons responded to the challenge, kicking four of the first five goals of the final term to kick out to a 28-point lead and secure a hard-earned victory.

SEFNL LADDERS AND FIXTURES
SEFNL’s winning AFL Victoria Community Championship team, back from left, Scott Meyer, Matthew Clarke, Mark Weekes, Anthony Vella, Brandon Osborne, Daniel Battaglin and Jake Richardson. Third row; Glenn Osborne and Troy McDermott. Second row; Jordyn Flannery, Dylan Quirk, Zac Roscoe, Luke Bee-Hugo, Luke Walker, Josh Tonna and Shaun Marusic. Front row; Andrew Dean, Ash Smith, Michael Harold (Captain), Jake Picture: DAVID NAGEL Smith, Ben Kearns and Josh Muling. 154563 Meyer was simply magnificent in the ruck, and dominated the big-man duels around the ground, while Jake Richardson’s contested marking played a key role at centre half forward. Marusic was probably his side’s best midfielder, just shading his Cranbourne team-mate Bee-Hugo who was explosive from the stoppages. Kearns got the ball rolling for SEFNL, ending the day with four, while Dean’s four goals were highlighted by 15 minutes of magic in the second term. Jake Smith kicked three, while the defensive efforts of Brandon Osborne, on the dangerous Jones, and Ash Smith and Battaglin should never be underestimated. UNDER 18s BRINGING together a new crop of players was a big challenge for coach Manny Vella, but an extra week of bonding made all the difference in the 26-point win over Murray. “We started one week earlier than the senior boys because we knew we had a lot of new faces, and communicating our message was going to be the important thing with this group,” Vella said. The SEFNL boys cracked the game open in the second quarter with 4.2 to 0.2, extending a onepoint lead at quarter time into a 25-point advantage by the main break. Murray bounced back in the third term, cutting the margin to 16, but late goals in the final quarter to Zac Stewart and Kade Lynch held the home side at bay in the dying stages. Stewart finished three, and was a thoroughly deserving winner of the AFL Victoria Community Champions Medal, while Vella was impressed with his sides overall performance. “Everyone made valuable contributions but I was particularly impressed with Dylan Cavalot and Kirk Dickson, they brought others into the game, and Shannon Brennan stuck to his guns all day on number 22 (Daniel Johnson), their number-one forward.”

Cavaliers parry the blows By JARROD POTTER BIG V - ROUND 9 EVEN when nothing is going their way, the Cavaliers somehow find a way to eke out the win. When the bad days come, the good sides still manage the victory and Casey proved no different on Sunday in an 83-82 overtime thriller against Sunbury. It had to hold on against the Jets, which scrambled to try and make a happy ending for guard Nathan Sellwood’s 350th match. Point guard Ishmael Sanders (33 points) proved problematic for the Casey defence - as Stewart Baird gave all his best small defenders a shot at halting the Carson-Newman alumnus’ scoring spree. The Jets soared past the Cavaliers in the fourth term as the afro warrior Mitch Newton (16 points, 13 rebounds) started making his mark. Casey stuck to its defensive tasks in the dying stages of regulation time; grinding the Jets into poor positions from the zone and forcing the ‘get-out-of-jail’ shots from the mercurial Sanders. The Cavaliers’ work up the other end was far more clean-cut to the final buzzer.
The long shots started sinking from Matt Witherden (12 points, five rebounds) and Deneefe (six points) while Dean Johnson (14 points), Bevan Camilleri (13 points, nine rebounds) and Brent Hobba (nine points, 11 rebounds) pushed the Jets in the key. Casey did more of the same in overtime to finally shrug off the dogged Sunbury line-up and while the points went to the hosts, Baird was less than pleased with the effort on Sunday. “We saw the result and they hung around - at the end of the day, the better team on the day didn’t win,” Baird said. “Across the board they played better basketball for them and we were just lucky in the end that we hit some clutch shots in the last quarter and overtime. “Switched up to a zone - I kept it in the back pocket - and it provided enough to stop their momentum and make them think about what they were doing. “We were four-six down at that stage and then we made three or four stops and scored the other way. “We had a bad day the week before and were nicely touched up by Melton while this time we had a bad day and
managed to eke out a win against a pretty decent team. “The ladder means nothing in this competition at the moment - anyone from one to 12 could make the playoffs and once there anyone could wreak damage on any given night.” Life gets no easier this week for the Cavaliers who are heading up to Shepparton on Saturday night before returning for an early afternoon battle against Warrandyte at home on Sunday. “There’s no love coming out of head office, that’s for sure, when it comes to the fixture. “Melton twice on the back of a doubleheader weekend, another double-header this weekend,” Baird said. “But the good thing is we’ve played both teams, beaten both teams and feel pretty good about where we’re at against both teams. “No surprises and we know what we need to do.” Casey’s women fell at the hands of Coburg 61-75 as Tarryn Wilkin (14 points) and Bec Magdich (14 points) led the charge, while the youth men also lost - going down 72-81 to Corio Bay.
Sunbury's Ishmael Sanders caused plenty of headaches for Casey but in the end the Cavaliers fought back to take the 83Picture: JARROD POTTER 82 overtime win. 154616
United in the sweetest win Rydge’s green and gold debut By JARROD POTTER
By JARROD POTTER
WNPL - ROUND 11 THEY did it ... it took 11 rounds but after enduring a brutal start to the Women’s National Premier League Victorian competition, Southern United claimed its first victory. United had to do it the hard way against Alamein FC - after going a goal down in the opening 25 minutes as Melina Ayres slotted the initial score. The defensive work of keeper Freya Crocket and captain Antonia Niteros held the side together until the forwards could make their mark. Saphri Lines (53’) opened the second half with a bang, getting on the end of a Tiffani Eliadis header before the equaliser was also earned through the dual WPL Gold Medalist. Returning from a knee injury, Brittany Dudley-Smith (67’) came off the bench and had an immediate impact to ignite celebrations for the coastal crew. The New Zealand striker came on in the 59-minute mark and wove her magic only eight minutes later. Eliadis got free on the left side, squared it to DudleySmith, before the New Zealand ex-pat had two bites of the cherry to sink the match-winner. “It is part of what we’ve been working towards and trying to get better,” Southern coach Stuart Munro said. “Full credit to the girls they’ve been steadily improving and drawn our last four matches and a win was just around the corner. “Bit of a surprise that it was against a team that we lost eight-nil to earlier in the season, but the confidence has improved and we’re heading in the right direction.” The win brings Southern United within a point of eighthplaced Bayside to get off the bottom of the ladder before its round-12 home clash against Heidelberg United. While 1-4-7 doesn’t make for pretty early season reading,
THE next great Hogan family baseballer has earned his first Australian jersey. Following in the footsteps of his Australian/Victorian representative dad Rob, Rydge Hogan, 16, from Berwick, earned his green-and-gold debut on the back of his Southern Mariners’ Australian Senior League Championship (ASLC) victory last week. Held in Lismore, New South Wales last week, the Mariners swept aside the competition, including a 6-1 rampage in the finale. Coming up against a power-packed Hills - a New South Wales team - in the finale, the Mariners smashed their northern counterparts by five runs in the final, held at Albert Park Baseball Complex, to book their tickets to the Philippines. “It was awesome - there were a lot of good baseballers out there, but some good pitching allowed me to play well and it was pretty good,” Hogan said. “The grand final was great - just Southern United coach Stuart Munro was thrilled to see his side take its maiden WNPL victory. 152620 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Munro said the results are secondary to gaining confidence and continually improving for the pink-and-blue group. “We knew where we were at for the start of the season,” Munro said. “It’s all starting to come together a bit - first year finding out as a club where we’re at and there’s no pressure to worry about results - we’ll keep working the way we are. “Will be interesting to see the girls playing with the confidence of a win under the belt see if that will give them an extra spring in the step - but we’ll just take the same approach to try and get the effort right and keep improving.” STATE LEAGUES - MEN AND WOMEN Berwick City’s tough start to State League 1 South East continued after a 1-2 loss to ladder-
leader Mornington. Casey Comets struck the one-and-only goal against FC Clifton Hill off the boot of Daniel Waddup while Doveton SC fell to Heatherton United 2-3. Hampton Park United Sparrows took an emphatic 3-0 win over Endeavour United with Carl Morgan nailing a brace alongside a goal to Mitchell Hawkins. Endeavour Hills Fire fell 0-1 to Harrisfield in SL4 South and Casey Panthers lost 2-3 to Sandown Lions in SL5 South. In the women’s state leagues, Casey Comets thumped Richmond FC 3-1, while Berwick City fell 2-3 to Sandringham, Dandenong City’s women were also beaten 3-2 in a hard-fought clash against Beaumaris and Casey Panthers succumbed to Langwarrin 1-3.
Rydge Hogan will trade his Berwick and Springvale jerseys to pitch for an Australian junior baseball team. 154558 Picture: JARROD POTTER because I’ve never won a gold medal in a championship game and love how our team went through it and went about it.” The Berwick Dodgers/ Springvale Lions pitcher was given a spot on the mound in the third round of the tournament and also swung cleanly, connecting on his at-bats to impress on both sides of baseball ledger. With their victory, the Southern Mariners will now head to Clark, Philippines from 11-17 July to represent Australia in the Asia Pacific Championship.
Another victory there will guarantee Hogan and his team mates a ticket to the Senior League World Series. What keeps him coming back to the sport? Just a deeply ingrained love of all things baseball and he hopes that passion can keep his ambitions ticking along in years to come. “I love it - I’d play every day if I could - love the mound and would love to take my pitching to the next level,” Hogan said. “Doing well over in the Philippines is the first thing, I just want to see how we go from there and get a bit bigger and stronger in the gym. “There’s a lot of training in between now and then to get even better than we are now ... so it’s not too far away.” He wanted to thank his clubs and parents for their support of his baseball passions. “I play for Berwick in the winter and Springvale in the summer and I’d like to thank both clubs and mum and dad for what they do for me,” Hogan said.
Warriors too strong for Roosters By JARROD POTTER PREMIERSHIP defence is well and truly alive at Casey Warriors after a 36-4 thumping of Altona. The Roosters were carved up by the Warriors’ fleet-footed forwards as the hosts ran in seven tries to obliterate the visitors’ defences. Waka Sweet (three tries), Toko Metua (two tries), Sheldon Waetford and Pride Petterson Robati proved too quick and far too strong for the Roosters to contain as the Warriors walked home with the comfortable 32-point victory. Coming off its 56-14 demolition of Sunbury United Tigers, the Warriors have bounced back nicely in recent weeks following its nail-biting 10-14 loss to Werribee Bears. A 4-1 record is enough to
Casey Warriors' John Nicholas tries to break a tackle in the home side's whopping 32-point win over Altona. 154525 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS give the Warriors top spot on the NRL Victoria First Grade ladder. The club also had a back to juniors day with Melbourne Storm players Jesse Bromwich,
Kenny Bromwich, Connor Donehue and Angelo Peaupepe making their way to Casey Fields on Saturday morning to meet the up-and-coming rugby league stars.

�� Reviews and news…
Jeep is still on retro trail By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE Jeep Renegade is principally targeting the blossoming 2WD softroad SUV market. While Renegade isn’t the company’s first venture into the 2WD market it certainly beats its two predecessors, Compass and Patriot. Externally there’s no doubt the Renegade is a Jeep with that iconic square styling and seven-slot grille. Inside the Renegade there are plenty of reminders of Jeep’s WWII origins with a little silhouette on the side of the windscreen and “Since 1941” above the multimedia touchscreen. The Renegade’s tall shape provides good interior space, with plenty of headroom at both front and rear. There’s good legroom for adults in the rear seats although its narrow width effectively makes it the same two-adult/ three-children proposition as its competitors. At 351 litres the luggage space is acceptable. The rear seatbacks fold flat in three sections, allowing load-through in the centre with the front passenger seat also folding flat to allow for even longer items to be carried. There’s also a dual floor setup for hiding items where necessary and a
Jeep Renegade 2WD combines rugged looks with urban convenience. space-saver spare wheel beneath. There is a very un-American 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine powering three of the four 2WD models. A Fiat MultiAir2 unit, the 1.4 generates 103 kW of power and 230 Nm of torque and is mated to a six-speed DDCT (Dual Dry Clutch Transmission) automatic. The entry level Renegade Sport, also 2WD, has a 1.6-litre Etorq naturally-aspirated 81 kW and 152 Nm petrol engine with a five-speed manual gearbox. In line with its greater off-road ambitions, Jeep Renegade Trailhawk has a 2.4-litre petrol engine
with 129 kW of power and 230 Nm of torque and drives through a ninespeed automatic. Diesels are offered in some markets but the Australian importer says there’s little demand for these in this class so has no plans to import them. All Renegade models come with seven airbags; ABS brakes with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution; stability and traction control; electronic rollover mitigation; reversing camera; daytime running lights; and IsoFix child seat brackets. The mid-spec Longitude adds blind spot monitoring; automatic
headlights; front foglights; and rear parking sensors while the Limited also gets bi-xenon headlights. All 2WD Renegades have a stop/ start fuel saving system. Sport and Longitude models have a five-inch touchscreen display with the Limited getting 6.5 inches with the inclusion of satellite navigation. Limited also gets a seven-inch colour instrument display in front of the driver cluster that can be personalised to suit and a higher quality nine-speaker BeatsAudio sound system. Bluetooth phone and audio streaming is standard with USB and auxiliary sockets conveniently placed above a smartphone-sized pocket at the bottom of the dashboard. Jeep has reacted to initial criticism of Renegade pricing with reductions, in January 2016, of between $1500 and $2500 together with the option of a $1000 driveaway surcharge on the two Sport models. A driveaway price of $29,000 on-road for the manual Sport is still more than its rivals but not to the extent that it will deter true Jeep lovers looking for the blend of looks, character and capable performance that Renegade provides.
