Dwarf goats: dairy giants By Rebecca Skilton Prior to 2012, the Nigerian dwarf goat was a breed unknown to Australia. Now, four years on, Michael Garwood and his miniature dairy goats are preparing to appear at the 2017 Berwick Show. “We were the first people to import Nigerian dwarf goats (to Australia),” Michael said. “(My wife) got tired of having to buy various cheeses and thought she’d try and make it herself. She decided on a goat because a cow would be too big. She researched it and found out about the Nigerian dwarf goats and said, that’s what I want!” Native to West Africa, the Nigerian dwarf goat has risen in popularity due to its small size, colourful markings, easy temperament and dairy characteristics. With males generally standing under 60cm high, females are slightly smaller at 57cm, and can produce up to 1.8 litres of milk per day. “The Nigerian dwarf goat’s milk is one of the highest in butterfat,” explained Michael. “They are the preferred dairy goat for specialised cheese makers in America. They refer to (the goats) as their secret weapon!” However, before the efforts of the Garwoods, Australia was yet to experience home grown Nigerian dwarf goat milk. “There were (no Nigerian dwarf goats) in Australia or New Zealand, so we thought maybe we could import them. I contacted the department of agriculture and they said you can’t import them due to diseases, but you can bring in frozen embryos,” explained

Michael. “There have been problems along the way with embryo success, but we have now crossed a threshold and have a sufficient number of breedable females. This year our breeding program should kick off.” The 2017 Berwick Show will feature an extensive display of dairy goats, with five of the 58 classes dedicated solely to the Nigerian dairy goat breed. “They’re very cute ... and usually a real hit with kids and young families,” said show president, Willem Boon. “People should definitely seek them out on the Sunday.” Despite their small size, the preparations and criteria to show a successful dairy goat is just as substantial as any other livestock exhibit throughout the showgrounds. “For our project the first thing is to get (the goats) to walk on the lead,” Michael explained. “We have a couple of weeks to get them so they follow along. We’ll also trim their fur, and make sure their hooves are trimmed properly.” Dairy Goat judge Muray Mills will also have a busy day, as he endeavours to select the best goat in each field. Depending on the class, Mr Mills will be searching for a variety of characteristics, ranging from features such as the carriage and smoothness of the goats walk, their overall angularity of the goat, and most importantly, their dairy characteristics. “Because (the goats) are shown as dairy goats - the important thing is about milk production,” said Michael. “So we will only show the does, and

The Nigerian Dwarf Goat will star at this year’s Berwick Show. not the bucks.” With so few Nigerian darf gats in Australia, Michael admits that for most of the classes his goats will be competing against one another, with a small number of cross breeds possibly entered.

“There are a number of people who are cross breeding,” said Michael. “They use frozen semen straw and breed them with standard dairy goats ... we have the only purebreds, though.” When out in show, spectators will be able to identify goats belonging to the Garwoods by their stud name,

First Fleet. “We were looking for (a stud name) that would sound Australian, but would have reference that we were the first to import (the goats),” Michael said. “So we thought, why not First Fleet Nigerian dwarf goats? ... That was back in 2012, and now we have 17 little goats!”

Show president Willem Boon with senior vice-president Melissa Hogg-Marshall. 164657 Visitors on Sunday can still see plenty of horse action with the showjumping competition in full flight and the Sporting Horse Competition, a new addition to the Sunday program. MOUNTAIN BOARDING Moutain boarding returns again this year featuring local competitor Dylan Warren. The Beaconsfield resident started mountain boarding about 15 years ago when he a friend lent him a board. “We went and rode some hills in Emerald - and I’ve been hooked since!” he said. “You could go as fast as you

want, slide, stack and it wouldn’t hurt as much as concrete.“ Now a professional mountain boarder, Dylan will stage a demonstration at the Berwick Show displaying a range of spectacular, eye-popping tricks. PAVILIONS The entertainment at Akoonah Park doesn’t stop there. An impressive array of exhibits and competitions are planned, with animals again a highlight including horses, cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas and poultry. There will also be horticulture, arts and crafts, cooking, photography, wood chop, truck pull and ‘beaut ute’ competitions as well

Leaps of faith at this year’s Berwick Show Max can be spotted riding Snow Hawk, his 17.2-hand Clydesdale, while Charlie will be competing on his 16-hand thoroughbred Oaklea Doaklea. “The Berwick Show is really good (for showjumpers) because it’s not on the main oval,” Max said. “Some showjumpers’ horses can be really spooky so they won’t start them at agriculture shows because of all the rides. “So, Berwick can be really good (for younger, less experienced horses) because it’s on a different arena - so it’s more inviting for them, I guess.” While Charlie will be chasing the Akoonah Park Stars of the future title, the brothers aren’t allowing themselves to become too distracted, having their eyes firmly set on the future. “If (Snow Hawk and I) keep going on the right path, we can start jumping mini prix which is about one metre and for centimetres,” Max said. “If he jumps and mini prix clear one day, I’ll be over the moon... that’s the ultimate goal.” While Max is also endeavouring to eventually work and ride overseas, Charlie hopes to stay a little closer to home before extending his reach. “I would say my main goal would be to one day travel Australia doing the World Cup qualifiers,” Charlie said. “(And then) maybe one day work or ride overseas.” The Akoonah Park Stars of the Future will take place on Saturday 25 February.

The 2017 Berwick Show will be a family affair for the Tynong North Height brothers with 17-year-old Charlie looking to take out the Akoonah Park Stars of the Future title from reigning champion, older brother Max. The Height brothers, who together made up half the winning junior Victorian team at the 2016 South Australian State showjumping championships, have each compiled a lengthy list of successes with Max earning his way onto the 2016 Hygain Young Rider State Squad and Charlie on the 2016 Hygain Development Squad One for showjumping Victoria. However, despite their accomplishments, the boys are adamant the brotherly rivalry between them is only used for good - a success for one of the brothers meaning a win for them both. “I wouldn’t say I look up to (Max),” Charlie said. “But the rivalry between us is encouragement for me to try harder.” Having turned 18 last year, Max won’t be able to compete in junior classes, leaving such events as the Berwick Show’s Akoonah Park Stars of the Future in the experienced hands of Charlie. He will, however, be watching from the sidelines. “Watching the juniors go around now and seeing how competitive they all are shows how tough they have to be to win,” Max said. “So, knowing that I’ve won the juniors twice is really pleasing. “(But if Charlie won) I’d feel great

because it means that he’s enjoying the same success I did when he was my age. “Especially for Charlie, seeing as he’s had a few difficult horses lately that haven’t been the easiest rides, so it’d be good for him to have some titles under his belt.” Having been born into the world of equestrian, both Max and Charlie were introduced to horses at an early age, their younger years seeing them ride and compete for the Nar Nar Goon Pony Club. As time progressed, the brothers transitioned into the world of showjumping, with older brother Max leading the way. “Mum was a (competitive show rider), but she was also a horse re-trainer,” Max said. “Often we’d get people dropping horses off and wanting you to train them and sell them. “(Ex-hawthorn player) Don Scott came one day with one of his showjumpers and mum asked if I wanted to jump on his horse. “I was pretty young, but I got on and started jumping and, basically, it went from there. “After Don saw me struggling around the 70 and 80 centimetre classes, he said to come over and he’d give me a few lessons,” Max said. “He gave me one of his horses, Snow Spider, and from there I started learning what show jumping was all about.” While Snow Spider went on to successfully compete with both brothers,

When asked what he’s most looking forward to at this year’s Berwick Show, president Willem Boon hesitates as if he’s been asked to pick his favourite child. He eventually nominates the wood chop. “You can spend the whole day watching the wood chop action,” he said. “I’d never seen an axeman in action until I started working on the show many years ago.” The wood chop will be one of the highlights of the Sunday program and Mr Boon is hoping to get a few spare seconds to catch some of the action among his other presidential responsibilities. The Berwick Show is a family affair for Mr Boon and his wife Margaret, who is also central to the event in her role as show secretary. The couple has long been associated with the Berwick Show and love the way it brings rural life to the suburbs. “We take the approach that the show is about education, a way for suburban people to keep in touch with their rural roots,” Mr Boon said. “Berwick used to be rural and we are very aware of that history. “There is not a lot of opportunities for kids to have contact with animals these days, so at the show we have sheep,

FOR 18-year-old Garfield North resident, Rachelle O’Connor, and her off-the-track thoroughbred, D.P Cobalt, the 2017 Berwick Show is another step in the pair’s 2018 Grand National campaign. However, as REBECCA SKILTON discovered, it’s a campaign that only six years ago would have been nearly impossible to imagine for the horse formally known as Five Iron.

Hearts of gold jump for joy To those on the outside, D.P Cobalt is, at the very least, a remarkable show horse. Partnered with his 18-year-old rider, Rachelle O’Connor, the pair have accumulated an impresive rap sheet, their successes including some of the nation’s top showing titles. With no plans on stopping soon, their successful completion of the 2017 Berwick Show will put them on track for their ultimate goal of the 2018 Grand Nationals. However, as of six years ago, the nine-year-old thoroughbred was on a very different track, his future at the time full of doubt and uncertainty. So now, for those on the inside, even without his titles and successes, D.P Cobalt remains a remarkable horse with an even more extraordinary story. Because before he was known as D.P Cobalt the show horse, he was Five Iron the racehorse. Owned by a syndicate of five, the bay gelding was trained at the South Australian Ryan Balfour Racing Stables, his cool-cat nature making him a favourite among staff. With a career total of 34 starts, Five Iron won three races, placed second in one, and took home third place in five others. In total he won $29,600 in prize money. “He was a character around the stables,” trainer Ryan Balfour stated. “He was good, kind and friendly. People always liked to ride him. He wasn’t one of those horses that people would try and avoid - as some of the racehorses can be.” Which was why, in late 2010, Five Iron’s sudden change of behaviour had his owners, stable hands and trainers worried. “When he got sick, it really came out of the blue,” owner Rob Dale said. “He looked so ill; it went on for a while. We had no idea what to do.” Initially unexplainable, it was discovered that Five Iron had developed a hernia in his stomach. Similar to those seen in humans, an equine hernia is seen as a tear in the body wall that allows organs to push through to unwanted places. “It’s not that common in racehorses, but they do get them,” said Ryan. “At one stage, they said he would never race again.” As times got tougher, and Five Iron’s future became more uncertain, the ownership syndicate of five quickly became a pairing of two, the decision of the racehorse’s future left to owners Mike Taylor and Rob Dale. “I was shattered when three people left,” owner Mike Taylor said. “We just loved him to death ... I didn’t care if he didn’t race again ... all I was interested in was if he would live.” Having heard of Five Iron’s difficulties through Mike and Rob, friend Chris Kay requested to join the syndicate, offering to share the cost of the racehorse’s operation. “We did (look into putting him down) to be quite honest,” admitted Rob. “But he was such a big lovely horse ... he’d been so good, we decided to give him the operation.” Undergoing surgery, Five Iron was treated - a Teflon plate inserted under his stomach. While he came out of the operation successfully, it would be almost a year before he saw a racetrack again. “It took a long time for him to get better (and eventually) he lost his mojo

Rachelle and D.P Cobalt (formally Five Iron) at the Royal Melbourne Show. a bit,” Rob said. “He was ready for retirement; you could see it in the performances. He would look good at the start (of the race), then he’d get tired towards the end.” “We knew he was running with the plate in his stomach, and we didn’t want to see him burst (his injury) again,” Rob explained. “We thought; no, we’ll let him have a happy retirement.” On 4 December, 2013, Five Iron ran his last race at Balaklava Racecourse. He placed ninth out of nine, donning the black and gold checks for one final time. A few weeks later, retirement for the gelding appeared in the form of interstate show rider, Rachelle O’Connor. “My instructor, Dale Plumb, found him for me and we flew over to Adelaide for a day to see him. We saw him and thought, yep that’s the one ... and he got floated down to us,” Rachelle explained. “We got him two weeks off the track.” Having been born into a family of equestrians, Rachelle has ridden since the age of two - her lists of successes a lengthy combination of reserve champions, champions and supreme champions. Recognizing Five Iron’s quirky personality and potential for the show ring, she began her endeavor to switch the gelding’s disciplines. “It took us a whole year to get him going ... he was a bit confused (at the start). He went around like a banana because he was used to going one way (around a racecourse),” Rachelle laughed.

“It took so much time to get him confident, but he took everything on board so well. Thankfully, his injury has never bothered or restricted him.” Just over three years on, Five Iron now competes under the show name D.P Cobalt, and for Rachelle, has quickly become one of her standout horses. “He’s different from the other (horses I’ve ridden) because he’s got personality. From the moment I rode him we just clicked ... he is so amicable and anything I teach him he just gets it,” she explained. “He’s a very happy horse. He’s always given me such a good ride and he’s so comfortable and easy going. We have a lot of respect for each other and I feel as though we’re the perfect team.” It seems a lot of people would agree - with the pair’s list of achievements an admirable effort. “At Melbourne Royal he won best novice hunter, and I won champion rider on him at Adelaide Royal in 2015. Last year, we won the open hunter hack at VASA (Victorian Agriculture Society) ... and that was all in his first season.” “I qualified for (the 2016 Grand Nationals) on him, but I couldn’t go because of Year 12,” said Rachelle, who completed her final year of studies last year. “So one of my goals is to re-qualify on him, and get back there. “Berwick is a royal qualifying show,” Rachelle explained. “Generally you need about six champions (at agriculture show level)

Before his days as a show horse, D.P Cobalt was known as Five Iron the race horse. Picture: Courtesy Chris Kay to qualify for a royal. And a champion at a royal will get you to the Grand National.” While Rachelle and D.P Cobalt have already begun to cement their position as one of the top competitive show combinations, it is a position Rachelle acknowledges could have easily failed to exist. “It’s pretty upsetting to know that (he could have been put down),” Rachelle said. “He really deserved to live he has the potential for so much. His owners obviously saw that (too) and knew that by saving his life, he would go on to do great things.” While many of the horses trained

the Balfour racing stables are rehomed after retirement, former trainer, Ryan Balfour admits that D.P Cobalt’s owners were an exemplary group of people. “One of my stresses is just trying to find the horses the right homes,” Ryan said. “But Five Iron had three of the best owners you could ever hope for in a horse. “When he retired, all they ever cared about was the horse’s interest. Where he’s at now and what he’s doing, it’s like they’re winning a race again, they’re just so happy to see him doing well.”

Michael Madden holds a replica mount of medals, including a Victoria Cross, in front of a George Petrou Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS painting 164681

FACTORY DIRECT BLINDS FOR LESS

If you’re from the same family as a Victoria Cross recipient, Michael Madden wants you. The Berwick medal-mounter and screenwriter has put all his other work on hold for a year to compile a lavish coffee-table book The Victoria Cross, Australia Remembers. He aims to tell the individual stories of the 100 Australian men who have been awarded the Victoria Cross - what he describes as the world’s highest military honour for valour. An unabashed Mr Madden said he could talk all day about Australia’s first WWI Captain Albert Jacka, VC, who had family links to Berwick. On 28 May 1915, The Berwick Shire News and Cranbourne and Pakenham Gazette announced that the freshly crowned hero was a nephew of Mrs H. Davy of the Kippenross estate. Mr Jacka’s extraordinary deeds meant he deserved to be Australia’s most decorated veteran, Mr Madden said. Most thought Mr Jacka should have won more than just one VC for his single-handed repulsion of a Turk counterattack at Courtney’s Post, Gallipoli. There was also his audacious, virtually-solo rescue of 50 Australian captives in German lines in Pozieres in 1916 as well as more extraordinary gallantry at Bullecourt in 1917. Mr Jacka was “our first world-wide superstar” but his unpopularity with superiors meant he missed out on citations and medals he deserved, Mr Madden said. There was a massive outpouring of public grief after Mr Jacka unexpectedly

died from kidney disease aged just 39 years old on 17 January 1932. About 50,000 people attended his funeral despite extreme heat and bushfires raging around Melbourne. A commemorative funeral service is held at St Kilda Cemetery each year. “No one knows who he was now, but he was easily the greatest frontline soldier Australia has produced,” Mr Madden said. Mr Madden collects no wage from this labour of love; all profits go to the critical service The Totally and Permanently Disabled Soldiers Association of Victoria (TPI Association). He credits the TPI Association for saving his veteran father’s life by helping him secure his TPI pension. Mr Madden remembers how at the time the association helped lift his family from homelessness. “By the nature of who they are, they are looking after the Diggers who need it the most.” The project has become something of an obsession - and a herculean task, with just four surviving VC medallists in Australia, he concedes. So far, he has video-interviewed 35 awardees or their families in his quest to not only tell the battle stories but “paint a picture” of the people behind the heroism. It’s what will make the book different to the hundreds of times devoted to VC recipients. “One of our fears was that families would not be that receptive to talking, but they’re all about the remembrance. “They’re working hard to make sure they’re not forgotten.

Over the limit ... and caught twice

Baseball bandits strike twice, cover bases By Victoria Stone-Meadows Robbers armed in baseball bats have stolen from two convenience stores on the same day in attacks police believe to be linked. The first robbery was at an independent milk bar on Hinrichsen Drive in Hallam, about 3.20pm on Friday 10 February. Who men with their faces covered entered the store with baseball bats and demanded the attendant hand over cash and cigarettes. The shop attendant complied with their demands before the men left the store and ran west along Buckeye Street, and witnesses reported seeing them run across a footbridge to Springfield Drive. At 6pm the same day, the Fleetwood Convenience Store on Fleetwood Drive in Narre Warren was also robbed by two men with baseball bats and face coverings. This time however, the store attendant was hit with a baseball bat and suffered bruising to his torso. In similar circumstances to the previous robbery, cash and cigarettes were stolen from the store before the men fled the shop on foot. This time the men ran north-east along Darling Way where they got into a dark coloured Holden and continued to drive north-east along Darling Way. The men were both dressed all in black with black caps and bandanas covering their faces. One of the men was wearing red gloves and the other grey gloves and both were wearing white sneakers. Anyone with information regarding these robberies is asked to contact the Narre Warren Crime Investigation Unit’s Detective Senior Constable Andrew Walker on 9705 3111.

A Doveton man has been caught speeding at more than three times the limit in Cranbourne West in the early hours of Monday 13 February. Somerville Highway Patrol members clocked the black 2015 Holden GTS travelling at an alleged speed of 139km/h on the Westernport Highway before being seen on Hall Road at 188km/h in a 60km/h zone, about 2am. The car was pulled over and immediately impounded for a period of 30 days at a cost of $1032 to the driver. A 24-year-old man was charged with two counts of exceeding the speed limit and speeding dangerously and will face Dandenong Magistrates’ Court at a later date. Senior Constable Paul Holtzinger said he was extremely disappointed with the behaviour. “To be driving a high powered vehicle at triple the speed limit not only greatly increases the chances of serious injury, but places members of the public at risk,“ SC Holtzinger said. “The message is very clear - Do not exceed the speed limit, drive to the conditions of the road and have respect for other road users.”

Casey chaplain plan Casey City Council may spend thousands of dollars a year on placing chaplains in community spaces if a proposal put forward by Korus Connect, a division of Access Ministries, is accepted. Casey Council passed a motion to investigate placing chaplains in community spaces at a council meeting on 20 December 2016 specifically to target “at risk” youths. The motion, put forward by Cr Amanda Stapledon and supported by Cr Rosalie Crestani, has council ponder the value of placing chaplains in public places like shopping centres and sporting clubs. The motion specifically called for a meeting between council and Access Ministries’ community engagement branch Korus Connect to further discuss the program. The meeting between council and Korus Connect took place at the Casey Council offices on Tuesday 31 January 2017 in which Korus Connect presented their proposal to supply chaplains in Casey. The proposal from Korus Connect aims to have the program pilot launched this year with chaplains placed in locations identified by council.

The proposal also outlined the cost of supplying the chaplains, with one full-time chaplain working 35 hours a week costing a total of $71,525 per year. Korus Connect also proposed a ‘community conversation’ session be held prior to the program launch that involves community groups, government representatives, schools and members of the public. The community conversation would see the groups come together to discuss the program at an estimated cost of $3550 for venue hire, catering, and the hiring of a facilitator. While this funding may not be entirely supplied by council, Korus Connect suggested a range of funding options including council, bank grants, Federal Government grants, and other community and corporate-based avenues of funding. Korus Connect is the community engagement arm of Access Ministries which run the controversial chaplains in schools and special religious education programs in Victoria. In 2014, Access Ministries was caught supplying religious education material in schools that breached the regulations of the Victorian Education Department.

The debacle led to the Victorian Government changing the way religious education is provided in state schools. Councillor Steve Beardon, who opposed the motion to introduce the chaplains at the council meeting in December, is appalled by the cost of the program. “They charge $70,000 or more a year just for one, so it’s not even time donated as good will,” he said. “This raises so my questions to the religious or Liberal aligned councillors pushing this, and any other councillor.” “Don’t you think trained psychologists, counsellors and social workers are better equipped to support the most vulnerable in our community?” Former Casey Council Chaplain and Casey Neighbourhood Watch chairperson Rob Ward speaking on behalf of Korus Connect said it could be challenging for young people to access services and chaplains could help. “The word chaplain carries different meanings to different people, and it is positive for many,” he said. “It’s a bit of a leap to get people especially young people to see a counsellor or a psychologist and a chaplain is often a soft entry into that role.”

“A chaplain is often the human face between the needed professional services, and provides the soft entry.” Mr Ward said the funding of the chaplains would ideally be a whole community responsibility but Korus would like to see Casey council take the lead. “These things are up in the air, and what we are looking for is a sustainable effort and would like to see a community response,” he said. “We are all impacted if people are losing their way, and we shouldn’t be putting our hand to council and government all the time but council can play a significant role in facilitating this kind of work.” However, Cr Beardon said the cost of the program as a gateway for services that are already funded by council cannot be justified. “Council has trained youth workers, and funds many organisations with trained psychologists,” he said. “To those councillors pushing chaplains, do you think this money could be better targeted hiring a school GP or dental nurse?” “I would like a demonstrated tangible benefit to any investment with ratepayers’ money.”

Kokoda walk a challenge A 63-year-old man from Narre Warren will be taking on the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea later this year in a bid to raise money for a sick young woman. Ray Spinks has been on a health kick for about 12 months and he has a set a goal to improve himself while helping 19-year-old Jade Kollmorgen pay for her cystic fibrosis treatments. “It all started when I wanted to do something for myself,” Mr Spinks said. “I have lost 21kg in the last 12 months and my fitness has never been like this before.” Mr Spinks’ personal trainer suggested he set himself some goals for his fitness and that was when his personal mission changed into a quest to help Ms Kollmorgen. Mr Spinks met Jade through his wife Kathryn who works with Ms Kollmorgen’s mother Rachel. “I was sitting at home having a conversation with my wife about walking the Kokoda Track and I said I would like to do it for a charity,” Mr Spinks said. “We thought about it for a bit, looked at each other and we both said ‘let’s do it for Jade’.” Since then, Mr Spinks has been training every day to the lead up to him leaving for Papua New Guinea on 20 April to take on the mammoth 90km walk.

Ms Kollmorgen has been dealing with the effects of cystic fibrosis her entire life and said it changes the way she is able to live and function. “Over the last year I have been in hospital more and more,” she said. “Last year was worst; I was in hospital eight or nine times for two weeks at a time.” “I even went overseas for my gap year and was in hospital for the start and end of the trip; it has become harder to deal with over the past year.” On top of the hours of breathing exercises she has to do every day, Ms Kollmorgen takes about 40 different tablets during the day to keep her symptoms under control. Mr Spinks is raising money for Ms Kollmorgen through a GoFundMe account where all the money generated will go directly to the Kollmorgen family to assist with the cost of Jade’s medications. “I don’t have a job and I am paying for all my medications and it’s a big thing,” Ms Kollmorgen said. “I have to use Centrelink money for that so any funding is really helpful to manage all that.” “My family is not well off and it is hard to keep up and pay for all my medications so this is going to be a big help.”

Mr Spinks said he had already had great support from his own employer Hettich as well as from local businesses he has approached. “I have had great support from a lot of people both through donating funds to get me to Kokoda as well as equipment to support me in my training,” he said. “I want to give my sincere thanks to Michael Malkoun from Brighton Porsche and Brighton Infiniti, Neil Richards from Kitchen Hardware Company and Joshua Huang from W.T. Hardware. “These are the companies that have sponsored me to get to Kokoda. “I also want to give special thanks to Rays Outdoors Fountain Gate, The Athletes Foot Fountain Gate and Merrell Shoes Fountain Gate for supplying footwear and equipment for my training and the trek.” Mr Spinks is very passionate about helping Ms Kollmorgen and raising the funds she needs to have the best possible quality of life. “At my age I never thought I could do anything like this but it is amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it,” he said. “I will not fail in this and I will not fail her.” To donate to Mr Spinks’ cause, go to www.gofundme.com/jadescystic-fibrosis-fight

Ray Spinks will be walking the Kokoda Track in April to raise money for Jade Kollmorgen's cystic fibrosis treatments. 164726 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

Fake Facebook cowards Casey City’s Councillor Rosalie Crestani wants police to have more powers to act on cybercrime, after a number of fake social media profiles posing as her posted offensive content. Cr Crestani believes the fake profiles were created in the last few months, following her support of council’s move to compulsorily acquire land in Narre Warren North. The fake profiles have used the same photo as her official councillor Facebook profile and commented or posted material that Cr Crestani says does not represent her views. The fake posts were centred around indigenous Australians, calling the first peoples “lazy” and “inconsiderate”, a view that Cr Crestani said was not her own. “The posts were attacking the Aboriginal community and I was horrified,” Cr Crestani said. “It started around the decision for Mr Foy’s land; it popped up around this time and this is probably a left-wing attack,” she said. While the fake profiles have been taken down now, Cr Crestani says she would like to see some changes in the way online bullying is dealt with. “I would like to see a proper call centre for Facebook or what-have-you to speak to real human beings,” she said. “I would also like police to have their hands on the IP addresses of those that set up the accounts and for police to have real teeth to deal with cyber bullying that comes from outside of Australia.” Cyber security expert at Monash University Dr Lennon Chang said once an impostor account had damaged someone’s reputation, despite it being a form of identity theft, there wasn’t a lot of action police could take. “For the imposter, it is definitely a crime,” Dr Chang said. “Stealing someone’s profile and causing damage - it is definitely a crime but the issue is it is not easy to investigate and discover who has done it.” “Police can’t do a lot here, as the damage has been caused; what we can do in this situation is

we can tell people it was fake and try to ask Facebook or the social media website to stop disseminating the messages.” Dr Chang said the creation of and damage caused by impostor accounts were the respon-

sibility of the social media company to prevent, rather than the police to investigate. “It is more about corporate responsibility; the responsibility of the company to keep its clients safe rather than the police to investigate after.”

Meanwhile, Cr Crestani has said she is disappointed with the way people have chosen to engage with her and says if someone has an issue they would like to raise, they should do it in person. “I think it is very cowardly - I don’t want to instigate violence or anything but if you have something to say, come and say it to my face,” she said. “Don’t try to wreck my reputation and standing with the community.” “People are welcome to call or contact me however and I would be grateful for the opportunity to try and fix it if it is not me.” Left: Casey councillor and Rise Up Australia Deputy Leader Rosalie Crestani is unimpressed with impostor social media profiles and wants police to have more power in cyberspace. 164916 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

Letters Bunjil's in the road Casey Council are a joke. They won't spend any money on laying asphalt down on O'Grady Road, Hallam, to get rid of the dust (News, 9 February) but they can spend millions on building Bunjil Place, which a lot of people have no interest in. D. Gardner, Hampton Park.

Reasons for occupation I am writing to defend the actions of Israel in occupying lands which were the subject of a letter by John Glazebrook in your newspaper (News, 19 January). Israel has been under attack by Palestinian terrorists for quite a number of years and in my opinion Israel has the right to defend itself from the many missiles and rockets that are fired in their direction by procuring a buffer between themselves and the aggressors.

As you are no doubt aware the coast is only approximately 30 to 40 kilometres from the occupied lands and if the lands were given back then the main cities of Israel and its airport would be under threat from these terrorists. That is the reason Israel has this buffer zone. John talks about the UNHRC and their resolution but let’s look at some of the members. China, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iraq. Republic of Korea and Saudi Arabia to name a few. Do you think these countries should be lecturing Israel on human rights? Being a free-thinking person it seems odd to me to condemn one nation when there are others that should be more condemned. Frank P. Rzepecki, Narre Warren South.

To the ALP It’s not enough that when it comes to acknowledging receipt of my letter, it seems to be falling on deaf ears. A standard reply comes through, generated by a heartless computer like the rest of those in the political arena. The entire political system is corrupt: “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours, so they both scratch“ and continue to extend the life of parliament for the period of the term and guarantee a salary for three years. The whole scenario is a fake, a charade. Get real and do something for us who elected you - the issue I have raised is of vital importance. The poor have no place to rest their heads, they rest them on the streets of the CBD. Shame on you Labor who take pride in defending the poor and upholding their needs. There is a housing crisis - who can afford average priced homes at $500,000? Not in a lifetime, do something. Australia is bleeding at the seams - the poor are helpless. A visionary can easily solve the issue of housing. It’s simple, very simple. Commandeer land over the vast tracts of land above the rail tracks. This was done in the Melbourne CBD and today is the most prized real estate - Federation Square. I urge your party to alert the Liberals to build affordable apartments. I urge your party, the people’s party which has lost touch with the warp and woof of the social fabric of society. I will not stop my correspondence until I hear of a positive proposal for construction of affordable apartments. The banks have already expressed their opposition to the construction of apartments - it is disgusting that the banking industry does not care for the welfare of the poor. It’s about time that the banking industry was subjected to a Royal Commission, or very simply if the Labor Party has brains to propose far-reaching changes for control, I urge that your party proposes them through the parliamentary process. If the Liberals object to a Royal Commission, it’s time we got rid of the Royal Commission process and established a judiciary commission with more and more lay people on the commission, particularly those hurt by the banks like the farmers whose property has been seized by the banks for non-payment of loans during dry arid droughts, and all and sundry like me and you and us. The bottom line is we the people of Australia need affordable housing in the form of affordable apartments. Construction of this type of housing will generate job creation. Housing for the poor will cause a positive ripple effect on the economy and stir the economic growth of the country. Rudd’s policy extricated Australia out of the economic morass, into being the first country to triumph over the recession. I appeal to the Labor Party of Australia to address the issues raised by me. I appeal to the social justice movements of the various religious groups who claim to stand up for the sermon on the mount of Jesus Christ to act on those virtuous recommendations which will make them fighters for the needs of the poor. Economic theorists whole-heartedly subscribe to the economic theory that when a country creates positive policies which enhance the benefit of the poor, the entire country is enriched. Can the rich do without the poor? They can’t - we are all in it and part of the whole. The bottom line of this letter is: please build more affordable apartments. These are not the vituperations of an aimless person, but someone aho has stooped to sit on the pavement of the Melbourne CBD, share a meal and drink a beer gifted by a bleed-

Fighting crime Thankyou for Victoria Stone-Meadows’ article (News, 9 February) ‘Citizens against crime’ highlighting City of Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon’s intended ‘Law and Order’ forum at the Cranbourne Bowls Club on Wednesday 15 February. I’m convinced that there should be a far greater emphasis on crime prevention in the first place and all citizens should face the outcomes of all crime if caught and convicted. All vehicle drivers know that if they exceed speed limits, and are caught and convicted, the outcome is at least a fine, so why not crime? There seems to be a greater emphasis on rehabilitation of offenders than that of its prevention. What if the penalty for murder or importing hard drugs was to have both knees and elbows smashed with a baseball bat, then

Ray’s

say

hung upside down for 24 hours, then by the neck if still alive? Harsh? No, they should have known the outcome if caught and convicted, therefore human rights would not be an issue. Car theft, breaking and entering, and stealing when being armed, the restoration cost of any damage caused would have to be paid by the convicted offender(s). There possibly aren’t words in our dictionary which could describe the heartache and loss of a loved one brutally murdered, so why not inflict immense pain on the convicted offender? Likewise the possible time and going without to buy a car, the possible years taken to build up a business, the memories of loss losing those stolen possessions and the years of continued trauma after having a gun pointed at you or a knife held inches from your throat, so why not a permanent reminder of the difficulty and heartache and traumas conflicted on the convicted? I very strongly believe if similar outcomes were inflicted on the convicted lawbreakers and were demanded by the citizens of Australia there would be an immediate decline in crime.

Lost youths’ life of crime By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill, the southern metro region commander who was also responsible for reducing car thefts, told the meeting that young car thieves were targeting luxury European models as a “badge of honour”. In their efforts to live a “gangster” lifestyle, they would then commit armed robberies and petrol drive-offs in their stolen cars. “They’re living in a fantasy world,” he said.

“They think stealing cigarettes might not be treated as seriously,” he said. He said organised crime groups were behind the raids and were paying the young thieves for the cigarettes. The products would then be sold for “next to nothing” under retail counters. With a bevy of extra recruits over four years, a new resource allocation model, he was optimistic there would be relief for the south-east’s stretched police force. He noted recent technological advances which

The good news is that police are making inroads into soaring youth crime rates in Melbourne’s south-east, said Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton. But Victoria’s top cops fear the young “hard core” offenders that police are arresting - and frustratingly re-arresting - are part of a lost generation who were living in a fantasy world and were destined for institutionalisation. Mr Ashton told a Casey Neighbourhood Watch meeting on 8 February that less than a dozen leaders of the Apex Gang had been out on more than 100 counts of bail. He noted that police were quickly arresting the repeat offenders and judges were tending to remand more in custody - which in turn was cooling the juvenile crime rate. However, offenders weren’t changing their behaviour. “We’ve got a whole group in that mid-teen range who I don’t know that we’re going to save,” Mr Ashton said. “There’s a group that are well-entrenched who I think are going to be institutionalised for most of their lives.” Police had made 18,000 more arrests in the past year but there were fewer offenders. Counter-intuitively, young offender numbers in Victoria were the second-lowest per capita nationally. “It shows we have a small group of really hard-core youth offenders stretching us to our limits,” he said. He was confident that police could help drive down the crime rate as low as 1-2 per cent growth by the second half of 2017. Last year, it had been climbing by 14 per cent but trending towards single digits in recent months. The alarming spate of home invasions and carjackings was dissipating due to higher remand rates for those offences, Mr Ashton said. But “softer-target” robberies of servos and supermarkets, particularly for cigarettes, were rising.

They’ll walk for the cause By Victoria Stone-Meadows The annual Walk to Remember, hosted by the Jared Dunscombe Fund, is on again this February with everyone encouraged to participate and donate to the cause. The annual walk is held in memory of Jared Dunscombe, a Cranbourne Rotary Club member whose life was tragically cut short at the age of 31 in 2013. Mr Dunscombe was killed when he fell from his bike and was struck by a truck and trailer travelling in the same direction while taking part in the Rotary fund-raising event - Ride to Conference. The Walk to Remember encourages anyone who has lost someone close to them to take the time to walk the Lysterfield Park Hallam North Walking Tracks and remember those no longer with us. Through the Walk to Remember, the fund raises money to donate to a charity that Mr Dunscombe would have believed in. This year the fund is raising money to help Victorian-based assistance dog training group Righteous Pups to fund the construction of two new training facilities. Mr Dunscombe’s sister Jonelle Colabufalo said Righteous Pups was the kind of organisation her

brother would have supported. “He was a dog lover and we always had dogs growing up; he even had his own little Jack Russell,” she said. “But it’s the helping young people that these dogs do; that’s the kind of organisation he supported.” The training facilities that the money will go towards include one for diabetes alert dogs and one for Righteous Pup’s Bridging the Gaps program. The Bridging the Gaps Program is for children 11 to 18-year-olds who have been identified with significant educational or psychological risks and behavioural problems. “The youth come and work with the dog trainers and a counsellor for one day per week for 12 months and the results they are having from this program in turning around the lives of these young people is amazing,” Ms Colabufalo said. As well as the fundraising walk, the pups from the program will be on hand to meet the walkers and there will be a number of children’s activities as well. The Walk to Remember will be held on Saturday 18 February and to register or find out more about the Jared Dunscombe Fund visit www.jaredfund.org.au.

Kathy Dunscombe with Makai, Jonelle and Aspen Colabufalo are ready for the Walk to Remember later this month. 164729 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Fresh from defeating Casey’s push to acquire his property, Narre Warren North resident John Foy has knocked back the council’s “goodwill” offer of a complimentary hot water system. The council had offered a replacement hot-water system out of recognition of the stress caused to Mr Foy - who told Star News that “I can’t be bought off”. Mr Foy said the system burst several weeks ago “regardless of whether there was an issue with the council”. “The ratepayers are going to be paying for it, not the councillors,” Mr Foy said. “They’ll just be taking it out of the ratepayers’ money. “If I accept it, what does that make me?” Mr Foy said he’d never sought compensation from the council. “I just didn’t want the bloody (public acquisition) overlay. I’m not looking for anything else.” Invoking the classic Aussie film The Castle, Mr Foy was backed by many neighbours and Facebook warriors in his battle to preserve his 34-acre home and its bird-rich gardens

Mr Foy said he was still puzzled as to who and what was behind the stunning reversal, but was thankful for the stoic support of media and neighbours. He singled out the help of residents Marlene Kane, Sharon Richardson, Peterine Smulders and Sandra Velius. “I just want to get the mes-

sage out there to thank everybody who helped me. They’ve made somebody sit up and listen. “I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall at that (special council) meeting.” Mayor Sam Aziz said he didn’t regret offering the “goodwill gesture”. “It was up to him whether to accept it. “We still extend to Mr Foy our goodwill and best wishes for the future.”

Our VC corner From front page â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone else wants to talk about the battlefield stuff, they want to talk about more personal things.â&#x20AC;? The graves of VC recipients spread across 15 countries, as far away as remote Russia, Egypt, Libya, Japan, Kenya and Syria, are still to be photographed. Mr Madden has invited Queen Elizabeth II to contribute a foreword, and landed quality publisher Big Sky Publishing to produce the cloth-bound book. As part of the research, Mr Madden has enjoyed rare access to war memorials, shrines and museums. Recently he travelled to England as perhaps the first Australian to visit and photograph the heavily secured Crimean War cannon metal which is used to make the VC medals. He has also trekked around Australia with TPI Iraq veteran and the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead photographer Gordon Traill to capture VC awardeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; burial sites and their families. Mr Traill is relishing the project. It gave him a purpose when he woke up each day and allowed him to give back to the TPI Association that had profoundly helped him, he said. Some of the graves of VC soldiers were movingly modest. Mr Madden recalls some of them were heart-breakingly dwarfed by elaborate, neighbouring monuments. He collected video interviews of VCmedallist Keith Payne, Doug Baird, who is the father of posthumous awardee Corporal Cameron Baird, Rob Kenna son of awardee Edward - and others. Mr Baird told of his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potentiallygreat AFL career. Corporal Baird injured his shoulder in his draft year and his life-long desire to follow his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps and play for Carlton was thwarted. Fatefully, Corporal Baird instead en-

rolled in the military. Had he not injured his shoulder he would not have been killed in action during one of several immensely gallant efforts as a Special Operations Task Group member in Afghanistan in 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But also had he not done the shoulder injury, all those men in the Afghan village, the Australian lives wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been saved that day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet it remains tragic that that shoulder injury ultimately cost him his life.â&#x20AC;? Corporal Bairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, meanwhile, travels around Australia to help look after his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2nd Commando Regiment colleagues who have post-traumatic stress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the type of people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding,â&#x20AC;? Mr Madden said.

Mr Maddenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next great push is to talk to families of the remaining VC medallists. Anyone who can help is asked to call 0418 900 204 or email michael@berwickmilitarymedals.com.au. Fund-raisers for the book project will be held at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne on 22 March and Box Hill RSL on 23 March.

Grant that kept them afloat By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey-based charity group Beyond Disability has put its 2016 Casey Cardinia Foundation Spring Grants money to good use assisting elderly and housebound people to stay connected. The group was awarded a $2500 grant from the foundation in December last year and has used the money to increase their client basis. The money supplied by the Casey Cardinia Foundation has mostly been spent on operational costs such as the purchase of laptops, broadband subsidies, and volunteer travel reimbursements. Beyond Disability Secretary Peggy Stocks said the grant money had helped keep their services alive. “It is very much appreciated and we wouldn’t survive without it,” she said. “These grants are how we survive as we get hardly any Federal Government funding so we rely on funding and what we get is very much appreciated.” Beyond Disability has been supplying laptops, desktop computers, and specialised equipment to elderly, disabled, and housebound people as well as their carers in the south-east for 19 years. What sets Beyond Disability apart from other similar charities is they provide ongoing support from volunteers to make sure their equipment works and users are comfortable operating it. “Our techs go out and set up

the computers then volunteers show the client how to work it, mostly email and skype,” team leader Trisha McGill said. “If there are any problems our techs or volunteers will go out and we will replace the computer.” “Also, if their disability gets worse we can offer different forms of computer equipment such as a bigger keyboard with large keys if their sight is failing.” Beyond Disability have more recently launched their Victorian Vets Wellness Project, aimed at getting war veterans online to stay connected with friends and family. “We started helping out veterans about three years ago and want to encourage more vets come on board the program,” Ms Stocks said. “We find a lot of veterans have PTSD and it helps them to be able to communicate with their mates who may be experiencing the same thing.” “They are the ones who benefit from our program and it really helps to keep in touch with mates.” Beyond Disability provide all their services to their clients for just $11 a week, or $23 a week with a wireless modem. The team is hoping they can attract more clients this year and expand their help to more people in the community who need it. To find out more about Beyond Disability or to become a client or volunteer, visit www. bdi.org.au.

Trisha McGill and Peggy Stocks from Beyond Disability are pleased to say the grant money from the Casey Cardinia Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS Foundation has helped their program stay afloat. 164929

One-man drug warehouse By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man charged with trafficking after being allegedly intercepted in a stolen vehicle with meth, GHB and ecstasy at a Pearcedale car park has been described as a “mobile one-man drug warehouse”. Brent William Ross, 23, of Mordialloc, indicated he would deny the drug charges and was granted bail at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 13 February. The court heard Ross allegedly gave a false name and address to police after his vehicle with home-made number plates was followed into Pearcedale Recreation Reserve just after 1.15am on 6 January. He then fled on foot towards

Baxter-Tooradin Road, at one stage throwing a bum-bag into the legs of a pursuing police officer, but was soon arrested, police alleged. Police found drug paraphernalia and a flick-knife in the bum-bag, and discovered the car had been stolen from St Kilda in December. In a sports bag on the car’s back seat, there was a large quantity of drugs and deal bags, informant Acting Sergeant Nick Buxton told the court. Police seized what was believed to be 56 grams of methamphetamine, 12 plastic containers of GHB and 118 ecstasy tablets, though the substances had not been forensically analysed, Sgt Buxton said. The minimum trafficable amount of ‘ice’ is three grams, he said.

Tick-books listing names, contact details and drug and monetary quantities, a serrated kitchen knife next to the front seat and a lap-top bag containing the vehicle’s rightful numberplates were also found. At an interview at Narre Warren police station, Ross denied possessing the drugs and claimed police just found the bum-bag on the road. The GHB containers looked like “bubbles”, he told police. As for the meth, “you didn’t pull that out of my car” and “they weren’t in my car or in my possession”, he allegedly said. Ross’s lawyer said his client had surrendered to police by kneeling down and putting his hands to his head in the car park, didn’t recall throwing

the bum-bag and made no admissions to possessing the drugs or the knife. Magistrate Gerard Bryant said Ross faced a “strong” prosecution case given the material found in the vehicle. “The reality is if you were to compile a list of the accoutrement of someone who was usually trafficking drugs, he ticks most of the boxes. “He’s got a knife because he’s dealing and doesn’t want to be rolled by the people he’s dealing with. “He’s a mobile one-man drug warehouse. That’s what he is.” In granting bail, Mr Bryant took into account that Ross might not be sentenced to jail due to his youth and clean criminal record. “Courts will recognise young peo-

ple sometimes lose their way in the fog of drugs, that there might be more utility to rehabilitate you than punish you at this juncture of life. “You are at the cross-roads. If you make the wrong choice (on bail), you’re looking at a significant custodial sentence in the realms of 12 months or possibly more.” Ross was bailed on the rehabilitative CISP program to a relative’s address outside greater Melbourne. His bail conditions include a night curfew, thrice-weekly reporting to police, twice-weekly drug screens, a $2000 surety and a ban from driving. He will next appear for mention at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 14 March.

An exhilarated Taran O’Donovan, who along with his partner Melanie Hill and 16 others in the THISWORLDEXISTS tour group hauled rocks, levelled earth, rendered walls and dug trenches, says he’s keen for more. “It’s about making a difference,” Mr O’Donovan said. “It was an awesome experience.” After hiking to Everest Base Camp in minus-30 degree temperatures, the tour group visited a village Sorung Chhabise to rebuild its school extensively damaged by earthquakes in April 2015. Students were still using part of the school as the volunteers and villager-builders set to work on a “complete rebuild” for the next six days. Mr O’Donovan, a student teacher, said it was his passion for education that got him interested in the volunteer project. “Education is something we take for granted in Western society. We have the opportunity to study whatever we want. “It’s foreign to them. The school we were building teaches English as well which gives them an advantage to make something of themselves.” In about two months, the project is expected to be finished. At that stage, the school will have tripled in capacity to about 200 students - and will hopefully attract more children to attend classes. The classes would be unrecognisable to a Melburnian student - no internet for research, dark rooms with little natural light or ventilation, and small tables and chairs. Many homes were without power, and remote - about a 10-hour hair-raising drive from Kathmandu. “If they had the internet, it would open up a massive world of learning. They wouldn’t have to be travelling long distances to be educated.” The days of hard, back-breaking work at Sorung Chhabise started at 4.30-5am. There were few tools - just “two shovels and half a wheelbarrow” - to clear a vast number of huge rocks and rubble from the site, Mr O’Donovan said. One of the party improvised tools from bamboo to help scrape and level surfaces. It was certainly different to Mr O’Donovan’s other trips through Asia and Europe. “When you normally think of a holiday, you think of putting your feet up. “This was a challenge.” The THISWORLDEXISTS tourists were a mix of Melburnians and Americans. It was co-ordinated by THISWORLDEXISTS founder Ryan Gray, of Wonthaggi. The tour business pledges to invest its profits into the visited countries.

Inclusion group is not welcome here By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey’s Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee has been disbanded because it pursued “peripheral, meaningless issues”, says mayor Sam Aziz. The committee, made of appointed community volunteers and two councillor delegates, had given the council advice on areas such as indigenous culture, religious diversity, age-related, sexual orientation, social and economic disadvantage and disability issues. Casey councillors voted to disband the committee and review its terms of reference at a 17 January meeting. Cr Aziz said the committee was being “revitalised” because he’d received “negative feedback”. He accused some committee

members of pursuing “strong political agendas interfering with the machinations of the committee”. Some members were focusing on “peripheral, meaningless issues” such as the State Government’s Safe Schools program, he said. “I don’t think (the Safe Schools issue) is a healthy way to spend their time. “It’s not something the council administers and necessarily agrees with. It’s a State Government issue.” The committee was better to focus on advocating on issues such as disability access to footpaths, roads and buildings, he said. Cr Aziz said he couldn’t promise if sexual orientation issues would be still covered by the new committee. “We would have to wait for the report back to council.”

Committee member Leanne Petrides said she didn’t know why the committee was disbanded but hoped to be able to re-apply to its next incarnation. “I hadn’t heard any concerns about decisions we’ve made or the way the committee was going at all. “There were people from diverse cultural backgrounds. We had a good mix of men and women of all ages” The Cranbourne Information and Support Service executive director said the committee had worked closely with the council on facilities such as Livvi’s Place disability-accessible playground and an Aboriginal community gathering place in Doveton. It had also advocated on access to footpaths and parking bays, and

ageing positively intiatives. Casey connected-communities manager Jo Smale said it was timely to review the committee’s role, given the “resounding” support for community inclusion in last year’s Casey Next survey. The committee’s terms of reference were adopted by Casey in 2014, and had not been reviewed since, Ms Smale said. “The current committee was critical to the development of the Diversity, Access and Inclusion Policy in 2016 and council appreciates the contribution of outgoing members.” The review outcome is expected to be reported to the council in April. Ms Smale said the council would then seek expressions of interest from prospective committee members.

Roundabout woe continues By Cam Lucadou-Wells VicRoads and Melbourne Water state they are still open to relocating a controversial proposed roundabout at Greaves Road and Berwick Springs Promenade, Narre Warren South. Their statements are at odds with Casey mayor Sam Aziz’s recent assertion that they are emphatically against moving the site. VicRoads’ regional director Aidan McGann said the authority had advised Casey it was “possible” to relocate the roundabout. “There are however a range of design, environmental and financial impacts that could arise if a relocation or redesign was proposed. “Council needs to consider these

impacts when deciding whether it wishes to amend the current design or location.” Melbourne Water stated it would not object to the roundabout’s relocation as long as safe flows and flood levels in the nearby Hallam Valley Contour Drain weren’t affected. Its waterways and land regional manager John Woodland said works also needed to be sensitive to the threatened dwarf-galaxias fish in the drain. The water authority is understood to prefer the developer Moormac Property Group to install culverts so the drain would not need to be realigned. The proposed, widened roundabout was to lead to the demolition

of the premium Berwick Springs estate’s bluestone-wall gateway, much to the ire of residents. A petition of 1200 signatures and recent mass protests have been organised in opposition to developer Moormac Property Group’s roundabout. Resident Michael Ball said Cr Aziz should strongly back resident opposition against the roundabout’s site - in the manner of Wyndham Council against a proposed youth detention centre in Werribee South. “I would suggest that Cr Aziz needs to fact check his statements before misrepresenting and making misleading commentary. “Who will Casey and our mayor Sam Aziz support here? Will it be the wishes of the residents?”

Casey mayor Sam Aziz said the VicRoads advice was “contradictory” to its recent correspondence to the council. The letter stated in “very strong language” that the roundabout had to be built at the proposed site in accordance with the precinct structure plan, Cr Aziz said. He said it was “absolutely” political brinkmanship from VicRoads. “They’ve done this before with the (recent Narre Warren North) mosque application. “They said they didn’t approve of the mosque’s traffic management but ... (then publicly) say it was a council decision. “But what else do you expect from an agency led by (Roads Minister) Luke Donnellan?”

Wudad Salim with her International Women's Day Award from 2016. 164816 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Stepping up By Victoria Stone-Meadows Women’s Health in the South East (WHISE) is calling for nominations for outstanding women in the Southern Metropolitan Region for their annual International Women’s Day awards. WHISE is a not for profit organisation that provides health information, health promotion and education to the female community and health professionals. Each year the organisation acknowledges the valuable work of other females in the community on International Women’s Day, with an award of recognition. Last year Wudad Salim from Narre Warren South was awarded in the inspirational women category for her work as founder of the African Australian Women’s Health Advocacy Group. Ms Salim moved to Australia from Ethiopia 24 years ago and has dedicated her time to improving the health and wellbeing of women in Melbourne of African backgrounds. She said the African Australian Women’s Health Advocacy Group was involved in improving the health of African women in many ways. “We do advocacy and engage communities, we raise awareness around issues such as Family Violence and eradicating harmful cultures such as female circumcision,” she said. “We also partner with organisations that provide services for people of African heritage.” Ms Salim said receiving the International Women’s Day award from WHISE changed the way her and her team operated. “It’s the most rewarding thing - it boosted our profile and energy to contribute more for the community we live in,” she said. “It has given us motivation not to stop, but to keep going.” Ms Salim said she would encourage others to go for the award, as it not only recognised the hard work of female volunteers which could be a thankless job at times. “I would encourage people to go for this award, definitely,” she said. “It’s recognition of volunteer work and acknowledges that people work really hard and sometimes it looks like there is no end and it just keeps going. “Sometimes it is really hard to see the fruit of it but this award confirms and affirms you are doing okay and to keep going.” This year, WHISE and parent communities will be acknowledging the contributions of women 55 and over in the categories of inspirational Aboriginal Elder, an inspirational woman with a disability, and an inspirational cultural leader. Nominations close on Friday, 17 February and the award ceremony will be held on Wednesday, 8 March at Bentleigh Secondary College. To nominate or to register for the event, visit the WHISE website at www.whise. org.au.

LIVING LIFE AT THE TOP FROM PAGE 1 LIFE’S better at the top say residents of Timbertop Estate, which is now home to more than 250 families. The Officer estate, which opened in 2012, now includes a two hectare park and the Timber Mill Cafe, and will soon offer a Montessori childcare centre, which is currently under construction. Prospective buyers can also visit the Display Village and explore home designs from more than 20 of Australia’s top builders. What really sets Timbertop apart from other estates is the tight-knit community that has grown as a result of the Timbertop Residents’ Group. The group organises regular events to promote friendship between neighbours including Christmas, Easter and Halloween events, moonlight cinema nights, wine and cheese nights, and a fitness club. “If you have a look at society today, most people living in estates might know their neighbours either side but don’t really get to know other people,” said Resident Group President Stephen Birch. “With the Timbertop Residents Group, we’re building a friendly environment

where people can get to know each other and feel safe.” The new park has also put Timbertop on the map as a family destination for the Officer area. Hicks Reserve, which was officially opened by the land’s former owners the Hicks family and Mayor Brett Owen in January, includes a barbecue and picnic area, viewing platform, playground equipment and giant slide, walking tracks and a kickabout area, which is currently under construction. Resident Jeff Craig and his family love the mix of country and convenience that the estate offers. “It’s very open, big spaces, great walking tracks. It’s within close proximity to schools and shopping centres, but you don’t feel like you’re living in the middle of suburbia,” Jeff said. Timbertop’s latest stages, the Treetop and Hilltop releases, feature some of the best views in Officer, perched at the top of the estate. There is a range of block sizes from 604 to 1059 square metres to suit families large and small. For more information on living at the top and to find the perfect block visit timbertopestate.com.au.

Maternal care a double act Four sets of twins were born at St John of God Berwick Hospital within a two-week period this year. The maternity team has enjoyed the novelty of caring for these special babies. It has been a busy time as the team continues to prepare for the move to the new hospital

at Kangan Drive, Berwick, later this year. Maternity services will expand with a larger Special Care Nursery, six birthing suites and additional rooms. The hospital runs tours of the Gibb Street Maternity Ward each Tuesday at 8pm and on Sundays at 2pm.

And information sessions, run by an obstetrician, are held on the first Sunday of each month at 2pm. Call 9709 1400 to book. Visit www.sjog.org.au/berwickmaternity for more information.

What will happen to the current Gibb Street hospital? We will relocate all services currently located at Gibb St to the new hospital in Kangan Drive. The Gibb Street facility will temporarily close whilst it undergoes a redevelopment of it’s own. The facility will be transformed into a Rehabilitation Hospital that will open in mid-2018. Will there be a cost associated with car parking at the new hospital? Yes. Prices will be similar to Casey Hospital car parking fees. What will happen to Stephenson House when the hospital moves? Our Consulting Suites and Pathology Laboratory will be relocated to the new Hospital. This creates an opportunity for new services in this facility.

Will the new hospital have an Emergency Department? Not in this stage. Future planning has considered the addition of an ED. Have another question? Email us at info.berwick@sjog.org.au

Introducing your

School Principal

Primary schools should provide children with the opportunity to engage with a comprehensive curriculum, before they begin to specialise in the areas of interest and capability in the later years of education. We do this at Berwick Lodge with our curriculum which includes robotics, film-making, radio, Mandarin Chinese and international trips by our students, to mention just a few. HENRY GROSSEK PRINCIPAL

12339241-PB07-17

The success of our community garden has led to the development of a magnificent multi-sensory garden, one which provides children with a diversity of natural experiences all designed to enhance their sense of inner calm, curiosity and sensory learning.

Following many years of faithful service by Rob Bray (Executive Principal) and Steve McAllister (Pakenham Campus Principal), Chairo has welcomed two new leaders for 2017. Simon Matthews will oversee all campuses as Executive Principal. After graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts and performing with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Simon studied teaching and pursued a career in early childhood education and school leadership. Most recently, he was the Executive Director of Christian Schools Tasmania for nine years. Pete Wells holds a degree in Psychology and a Master of Educational Leadership, and is pleased to be taking up the role of Pakenham Campus Principal. He previously taught at Chairo before taking on the role of Head of School in an International Baccalaureate school in Indonesia. Outside of his work in education, Pete is an award-winning novelist. Both Simon and Pete are excited about continued innovation and development at the school, but are equally committed to the longstanding mission of Chairo: to provide excellence in Christ-centred education in partnership with families within a caring Christian community. They hope to see students experience a nurturing and challenging environment, develop their gifts and become men and women of godly character. With modern facilities in a pleasant rural environment, a friendly school culture and a host of co-curricular activities, Chairo provides a dynamic learning environment.

Maranatha is a safe Christian learning community in partnership with home and church that helps children find true success in life. Through a model of Christcentred education within a safe environment, we seek to inspire children to think Christianly about the world, and so use their God given gifts and talents for the benefit of others.

Our focus on improving the learning has seen some of the best VCE and VCAL results in the area. Our 2016 Dux Thomas Truman achieved 97.15 for his ATAR and two Year 12 2016 students achieved perfect scores. Survey results tell us our students feel safe and happy at school.

Students have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular experiences such as music performances and tuition, Performing Arts, World Challenge 2016 to Vietnam and Cambodia and Central Australia Camp as well as fundraise for social causes such as Relay for Life. Our students thrive and grow. As they complete their secondary schooling, each will become part of a rich history in the Berwick community with global connections to alumni in an amazing variety of fields. Berwick College provides ‘Excellence in Learning, Rich and Varied Pathways, Personal Growth and Positive Relationships’ for all our students.

I would warmly invite you to visit St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School at our upcoming open event on Wednesday 22 March commencing at 9am.

In order for young people to succeed in an increasingly complex environment, children need a high quality education; to be taught skills to achieve success, and to think critically, enabling them to become good decision-makers, responsible global citizens and lifelong learners.

Berwick College is celebrating 40 years of education and I am very proud of the journey this College has taken; our inclusive education, our provision of pathways for all students, our facilities and our results.

Evidence for our success is not only excellent NAPLAN, Year 12 and other academic results but also the strong, purposeful relationships the school has built with the International Baccalaureate, Duke of Edinburgh Awards and the Queen Margaret of Scotland Association. The school is recognized for its exemplary participation and success in STEM programs including space, engineering and technology related innovation. Likewise, its unique blend of co-education and single sex schooling positions it to respond nimbly to research on excellence in schooling. My own personal philosophy values intellect, integrity, humour, humility, striving for improvement and developing genuine global citizenship. The ‘fit’ of a leader is crucial to the success of a school and coming here, to a school whose values so reflect mine, augurs well for a community actively committed to progress. This progress is tempered by commitment to the development of dispositions that predispose the young people in our care to be the best they can be - ethically, intellectually and physically – for themselves and others with whom they share this planet.

William Jackson

Ms Kerri Bolch

What makes a great school? Highly skilled teachers, a strong sense of identity, strong relationships with and being part of an active, engaged academic community that thirsts for continuous improvement. St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School aims to engender all these while building on a respected and successful 90-year history.

12337904-HM07-17

Pete Wells

In preparing for this feature I took the time to reflect on my past contributions, noting the challenge of finding time to deeply reflect on anything in these hectic times. In doing so, I sauntered to our beautiful community garden, established just two years ago. It ticks a lot of boxes, one of great importance being the peaceful, natural environment that it is. On any given day children can be found engaged in a variety of activities in this garden – one being lost in their own world, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life that threatens to overwhelm us all at times. We all need that sort of time more than we often have.

12338688-LB07-17

Koo Wee Rup Secondary College is acknowledged as an excellent educational facility within a caring school environment. We are committed to providing an inclusive and sustainable learning culture in which all our students develop the skills and personal qualities necessary to participate positively and confidently in a changing global community. Our ability to tailor programs to meet the individual needs of students in achieving their personal best is underpinned by our pursuit of excellence in education and is reflected by our college values: • Respect • Responsibility • Integrity • Personal Best In choosing to be part of the Koo Wee Rup Secondary College community, students are committing to six years of secondary education and to demonstrating behaviours which are conducive to learning and reflect a commitment to the college values. The subjects on offer encourage all students to do their best and are complemented by a diverse range of programs in music, drama, photography, sport and many other co curricular activities. Pastoral care encompasses all activities and develops strong relationships between staff and students that is nurtured in our House and Learning Community structure and is evident in all we undertake. As a medium sized secondary school we are proud of our ability to strengthen the critical partnership between the teachers, parents and the student which is vital to a young person’s success. Quality teaching staff is the most important factor in any classroom. Koo Wee Rup Secondary College has an excellent reputation for attracting and retaining motivated and committed staff. Our students have outstanding opportunities available to them and they are encouraged and expected to give of their very best in all of their college endeavours.

HENRY GROSSEK

As the newly appointed Principal of Kambrya College I am honored to have the opportunity to apply my wealth of local knowledge and experience to the position. I have worked at the College since 2003, seeing it grow to become one of the most successful schools in the area. I have a passion for ensuring the best outcomes for all students, regardless of challenge. I value the importance of the relationship between the school and parents and guardians of the student as fundamental to the successful outcomes for our students. I lead a team of highly dedicated professionals who share a similar mindset. I am fortunate to work with a team of four assistant principals; Mrs Nalini Naidu, Mr Brett Wilson, Mr Martin McDonald and Mr Pip Edwards. Each of these people brings a broad range of expertise to the school. Our work is evidence based, thus ensuring that we are maximizing the potential of each student. Kambrya College provides an outstanding learning environment for young people within the immediate neighborhood area. If you are interested in finding out more about our College, please join us on a Friday at 11:30am for a tour of the school. Joanne Wastle Principal

I continue to be immensely proud of our students and of their achievements. This extends not just to their academic performance, but as well, in their sporting endeavors and their commitment and contributions in the wider community. Our College seeks to nurture and support our future community leaders as they grow, encouraging them to take on increasing responsibility at the College and in the wider community. As leaders of tomorrow, the spirit, commitment and talent of our students at Hampton Park Secondary College fill me with great hope for the future.

Each year our senior students’ outstanding efforts are showcased - in our recent Visual Arts and Technology exhibitions and on stage in a wide range of musical, dance and drama performances. They are also evident in the huge number of individual and team sporting achievements. I invite you to join me on one of our weekly tours of the Pakenham or Berwick Campus. You can find out more about us on our Facebook page and Instagram too. Tony Sheumack Headmaster

Ms Jeanette Rawlings Head of Berwick Haileybury Berwick is acclaimed as a great ELC to Year 12 school. Our culture of academic excellence results in remarkable student achievement. We are committed to small class sizes where our outstanding teachers work with each student as they strive to reach their potential. We have a highly successful Parallel Education model. Boys and girls in ELC and Junior School (Prep to Year 4) learn together while students in Middle School (Years 5 to 8) have single-gender classes. Senior School (Years 9 to 12) will generally have single-gender classes except where co-instructional learning is considered advantageous. We have a meaningful Pastoral Care approach with a true commitment to wellbeing and a positive connection with others. We focus on social justice and encourage our students to think beyond themselves and become down-to-earth young people of character and integrity. Haileybury Berwick is also a place of community where each child feels cared about, valued, respected and known, and where parents and families feel welcome.

another key measure of our success.

‘Opportunities and choice’ is where Beaconhills really shines over its competitors. In the all-important senior years, students can choose from a wide range of subjects – Physical Education, Music, Systems Engineering, Art, Food and Technology and much more. They have the opportunities to follow their passions, setting the groundwork for their future pathways and life-long interests.

Choosing a school: what matters?

Our connections in the local community are reflected by our college core values of Respect, Learning and Working Together. It is these values that motivate us to ensure that our curriculum offerings, classroom practice and the educational and career pathways on offer to our students are second to none. Indeed, our primary focus is on creating the environment, resources and subject offering that provide all students with an effective pathway in life on completing their schooling. We pride ourselves on being able to offer the broadest possible range of programs and experiences for our students, whether that be through sport, music, our broadly based VCE offerings, VCAL and our extensive VET programs.

Gridiron teams are United By Russell Bennett Gridiron in Melbourne’s south-east is about to enter into a new era in 2017 with the Pakenham Silverbacks and Berwick Miners amalgamating to form ‘Casey Cardinia United’. The stunning move comes after about three weeks of discussions between the two clubs about the best way forward. The Miners have had their struggles in recent seasons but have 30 years of rich history in the sport, while the Silverbacks have won back-to-back Gridiron Victoria Division 2 titles in their short four-year existence. Both clubs believe the decision to join forces puts them in a position of strength, both now and into the future, and they also believe it provides the perfect opportunity to continue to grow the sport in the local area. Silverbacks secretary Ashlee Trimble will continue in the role as part of the new Casey Cardinia United committee, led by president Richie Howlett - the Silverbacks’ founder and former Miners player, alongside vice president and another former Miners player Damien Belsham, and treasurer Jye Healey. “After examining all our options moving forward it didn’t take long for us all to be excited by this,” Trimble explained to the News. “It’s the logical progression for both clubs. “Together we’ll have the committee, the resources, the players, and the facilities and we also have the drive.” The News understands that the Miners would have otherwise struggled to survive long-term. The amalgamation provides them with the opportunity to continue to

The Pakenham Silverbacks’ senior men’s side claimed their second straight Gridiron Victoria Division 2 championship in 2016. Picture: COURTESY OF JULIE BELSHAM build on their history in the sport. The Miners have an established home base at Sydney Pargeter Reserve in Endeavour Hills, while the Silverbacks have battled to find a long-term home in Pakenham. It’s no secret that sections of the two clubs haven’t always seen eye-to-eye. A lot has transpired over the past two-and-a-half weeks, but the decision to join forces was a unanimous one at committee level.

Trimble said the move would provide both clubs’ members with the best possible resources, facilities, and playing group and was met with “huge excitement”. The new club, which will feature the colours of both the Miners and Silverbacks, will enter into the 2017 Division 1 men’s season mid-year. Pakenham’s current women’s side will continue to take to the field in 2017 as the Silverbacks.

The amalgamation provides one goto club for anyone from Dandenong to Pakenham looking to get involved in the sport of gridiron. “It’s about promoting our sport so there’s no disconnect between a club in Casey and one in Cardinia,” Trimble said. “There’s one message coming from one club. “This is about making gridiron a mainstream sport, not a minority one.”

While there will be arrivals and departures in the playing group for 2017 - as there will be for every club Trimble said the CCU move will only strengthen the side made up of former Silverbacks and Miners players. Further specifics of the amalgamation are still being ironed out, with more announcements to follow over the coming days.

Demons win do-or-die clash By Nick Creely AFL WOMEN'S LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 2 Melbourne has recorded their first AFLW victory, comfortably knocking off a disappointing Collingwood side by 19-points on Saturday night. With both sides coming into the round without a win, it was essentially a do-or-die clash, and at half-time, it seemed the Pies were going to belt the Dees into submission, taking an early 19-point lead. The Demons struggled to gain any control over the contest early, with sloppy ball-movement and an inability to convert plaguing them early. But whatever coach Mick Stinear said to his troops at half-time worked, with the Demons bringing a renewed energy to the contest. The Demons found their mojo, moving the ball with ease, piling on six goals to zero, running out clearwinners. Last week’s star Karen Paxman was once again stellar for the Dees, registering 15 disposals and a telling goal, while Daisy Pearce was once again industrious with her ability to move freely through traffic.

But the stirring win may come at a cost, with Meg Downie seriously concussed after a heavy, late hit to the jaw from Magpies forward Sophie Casey, and is likely to be scrutinised by the tribunal. Downie was tapping the ball forward with her head hunched before being cleaned up by Casey, and was stretchered off the ground in front of concerned spectators. Stinear said that Downie appeared to be ok, but is unlikely to feature next week as she recovers from concussion. “She’s been cleared of any serious damage, but still has a heavy concussion - thankfully we have good medical staff on hand so fingers-crossed she continues to improve,” he said. The win leaves the Demons with a 1-1 record, as they look to continue their momentum into next week. Stinear said it was pleasing to see his group rebound from a bitterly disappointing performance last week. “It was good to see them play the brand of footy that we have trained for - it’s a new group and we are starting to really come together,” he said. “We have a certain style of footy we want to play - I think when the chips

Moana had no "Hope" of breaking out of the Demon tacklers. Pictures: AFL MEDIA were down we had nothing to lose, and it just started to click and we started to believe. “The positive for us is that now we know what it feels like to be a winning team - they’ll be wanting to replicate that more often than not. “Last week’s loss was a pretty emotional one and took its toll, so it was good to see the group bounce back.”

Eyeing off a place at top By Nick Creely VIC PREMIER CRICKET REVIEW - ROUND 16 (Day 1) Casey-South Melbourne is starting to resemble a team built for finals, and after carving their highest score of the season, are one step closer to cementing their place in the eight for good. Coming into the round with the pressure of finals on their shoulders, Lachlan Sperling elected to bat on a belter of a pitch at Casey Fields. Their opposition, Kingston Hawthorn, are sitting outside the eight, but still a chance of sneaking their way in to the finals with a strong win. But six hours later, the Swans strode off the turf in a commanding and imperious position, flaying the ball to all parts to finish the day on 8/356. After a watchful start from Luke Manders and Devin Pollock, debutant bowler Matthew North broke through, finding the edge of Pollock to leave the Swans at 1/32. Enter Michael Wallace, who combined flair with natural aggression, and combined with Manders, a compact and traditional opening batsman, start-

ed to comfortably find runs all over the ground. The pair added 118, before Manders (66) was perhaps unfairly adjudged LBW off James Miller (2/47). But the runs didn’t stop flowing as Sperling (80) entered the crease, and despite starting in a watchful manner, looked assured right from the outset. Wallace (95) was then denied a maiden Premier century after falling to Yasiru Herath (2/70), with the score at an imposing 3/197. A few quick wickets halted the Swans’ momentum briefly, before Brendan Rose (26), Nathan Lambden (23 not out) and Dylan Hadfield (23) lifted them to the competition’s highest score of the day. Swans coach Brian Keogh was pleased at his side’s intent, but stressed that only half the job is done, with the pitch well suited to batting. “You’d always rather have 350 instead of having to chase them - it was a good wicket and a fast outfield but we played well,” he said. “We probably had our noses in front of all three sessions which was really pleasing, Wally’s (Michael Wallace)

Lachlan Sperling made an attacking half-century for the Swans. 164743 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS innings was excellent, Lachie Sperling batted really well and Luke Manders played well for his 60 odd, and then for Lamby (Nathan Lambden) to come in and hit three late sixes was great. “Well, 300 was about a par score, and to finish on 360 was pleasing for us.

“We want to make sure we do plenty of catching work this week - they are a really great batting side so we need to make sure we catch well - 360 doesn’t mean a lot unless we bowl them out.” Keogh heaped special praise on his two biggest contributors, Lachlan Sperling and Michael Wallace, who

both made breakthrough knocks. “Wally went from 85 to 95 really quickly, and then went for a shot that was probably there but obviously he didn’t hit it clean enough - it’s always disappointing to get out in the 90s but he was pleased - he is one of the most popular blokes at the club because he is such a great clubman, so everyone was so pleased for him - he really capitalised and batted beautifully,” he explained. “Last week against Greenvale, Sperlo was the pick of the batters on both days, and I knew a big score was around the corner - he’s a class player and on Saturday he took control of the innings.” Looking ahead to next Saturday, Keogh expects an aggressive Kingston batting side to show up, but backs his side to get the job done. “Looking at the ladder, they obviously need the six points, so we expect them to be aggressive - we’ll declare on our score and we imagine they will look to chase the target down,” he said. “We will go hard and expect a great day of cricket that will most likely go down to the wire.”

An ironic flag would cap things off nicely for Rose crack - we got a lot of confidence from the last few games last year - we are probably a year ahead to be honest, and we’re a really good chance now, so it’s really exciting.” But one way or another, a future in cricket beckons for one of the competition’s most improved, and a Ryder Medal could push the paceman to fulfil a lifelong dream.

“Cricket has always been a dream for me and something I’ve always aspired to - I want to let things flow and if it happens it happens - my main goal is to perform for Casey and if I get a Futures call-up that’d be great,” he said. The Swans will look to cement their place in the finals on Saturday, when they defend 356 against Kingston Hawthorn.

It’s quite ironic to think that if Ryder Medal smokey Brendan Rose can capture Victorian Premier Cricket’s highest accolade, he won’t even be the first person with that surname at Casey-South Melbourne to win the award. Back in 2011/12, the 25-year-old’s cousin Clive, a current domestic cricketer based in Tasmania, also won the award after a stellar season with the Swans - funnily enough, the left-arm spinning all-rounder was not among the heavy favourites to even win the award that season. “People have brought up the Ryder Medal to me a few times, but it’s not one of my focuses at the moment - I really want to play finals with the boys, having success is much more important and it’s what I’m desperate for,” Rose told the News. Sitting equal-second on the Victorian Premier Cricket wicket-tally this current season, the bustling quick has epitomised the rise of CaseySouth Melbourne, in what has been a stunning if not surprising season from the club out of Casey Fields. Rose started the season with a string of solid performances, taking eight wickets in his first five-matches, before encountering a lean patch just before Christmas, taking just five wickets in six matches. But since returning from the break, he has risen to a new level, capturing 17 wickets in his last three matches, the most in the competition, which included match-winning hauls of 5/75 against Fitzroy-Doncaster and 5/40 against Greenvale. But it wasn’t just the manner of taking wickets, it was the way Rose sent the ball down to the batsmen in those particular games that was impressive - bounce, nagging line and length and an ability to extract just enough movement off the pitch. He said going back to the basics helped him restore his early-season form, and heaped praise on his coaches Brian Keogh and Prabath Nissanka for giving him the opportunity to bounce back. “I just went back to hitting the top-of-off, and hitting the pitch hard - I think now my action is right and my fitness has got better which has helped me,” he said. “Brian spoke to me after the Footscray game, and I didn’t have a great game - I thought I was letting the team down, but Brian has a funny knack of inspiring blokes and giving them confidence - he is so inspirational for us and gives us motivation, not many coaches are like that. “Prabath has been going under the radar a little bit, but he has helped us so much - we have all come a long way as a group."Medal Last year, Rose took 22 wickets in 15 matches

at an average of 24.2, while the year before he struggled to stay in the side, switching between grades regularly and taking just seven wickets in the top-grade - this has been a pattern the last few years for the big quick, who is just now starting to flourish after years of being groomed at the toplevel. Rose has a clear team-orientated focus now pushing his Swans into the finals, and said that the camaraderie will push the club to greater heights. “We are worried about us only - individual performances are great obviously but team performance is what wins matches,” he said. “That’s what has made the club successful, that belief that seems to continue to grow with every game - we’re all good mates and we push one another. “We thought we’d give this season a red-hot

Dingoes amaze DDCA TURF 1 REVIEW - ROUND 9 (Day 2) Dingley continues to shock and amaze, and have pulled off one of the wins of the season, knocking off the powerful Cranbourne side in stunning fashion. In a week full of triumph for the Eagles, having won on the famed MCG in the Regional Big Bash last Wednesday, the Dingoes made them look second-rate in a bid to make a shock finals appearance. After amassing 195 off the back of Ryan McLean (61) last week, it was time for another man to step up - Andrew Dalby (4/32) then bowled one of the spells of the season, knocking the Eagles off for just 129. Star Eagle Matt Chasemore (52) was virtually a lone-hand, with skipper Steven Spoljaric (4) falling cheaply and the others failing to provide much resistance. The form of Berwick in the last three matches would have any opposition quivering in their boots, and after powerfully dismantling North Dandenong, are eyeing a top-two spot. Following last week’s commanding first-innings, the Bears flayed some quick runs, to push them to 7/251 before declaring - Jarrod Armitage (41), James Wilcock (31 not out) and Jack Phillips (13 not out) all continued on the momentum with the bat. But it was the Maroons that showed some grit later in the day, denying the Bears an outright victory, batting 70 overs to finish on 8/138 - Zafar Sheikh (32 from 120 balls) showed great composure in the middle-order. Armitage (3/37) was once again stellar, while Wilcock (2/31) and Jarrod Goodes (1/17) threatened to clinch an important result.

Janaka Liyanabadalge guided the Magpies to a breakthrough victory. 163321

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS The season of Heinz-Southern Districts is beginning to slip away, falling disappointingly to a Mordialloc unit now certain to feature in finals action. After posting a less than secure 124 last week, the Bloodhounds resumed play at 2/43, and lost an early wicket, before Stuart Squires (44), Damith Mapa Ralage (21) and Leon Kennedy (72 not out) got the visitors home. Lee Brown (3/64) continued his strong form with another strong display, while Kaushyla Weeraratne (2/24) also threatened with the ball. It’s been five months in the making, but finally Narre Warren have a win next to their name - surviving an early scare to knock off fellow cellar-dweller Parkfield. And it was their star all-rounder Janaka Liyanabadalge (77) that stole the show, compiling yet another classy half-century as the Magpies crossed the Bears six wickets down. Liyanabadalge was well supported by Damien Gamage (23), while with the ball,

Matthew Aslett (3/40) and Shane Bell (3/35) did all they could. Finishing on 9/168 off 88 overs, the game was called off about an hour earlier. From the beginning of day one, the contest between Hallam-Kalora Park and Springvale South was destined to have serious ramifications for one side. The Bloods, who kept the Hawks to 7/247, would have strode to the crease with the utmost confidence of knocking the total off with ease, considering the quality they possess with the bat. However, now the Bloods must face the prospect of missing out on finals altogether, after falling away by 45 runs, and more importantly, out of the top four. It began smoothly enough with a string of solid partnerships, but each time the Bloods looked likely to run away, the Hawks halted them in their tracks and took a wicket. The Hawks ended the match, bowling the visitors out for 202, with no player really going on with it and posting a big score - Mitchell Forsyth was the top-scorer with 36. The effort of Dandenong West all season cannot be questioned; however it was a matter of class that saw Buckley Ridges easily overcome the potential woodenspooners. After the Bucks pierced their way to 7/279 last week, the Bulls entered the day’s play at 0/7. Despite putting in a noble effort with the blade, the Bulls were rolled for 193, with Greg Siwes (53) playing a strong knock at the top, and Jake Weeks (37) providing some excitement. Daniel Watson (3/14) and Wes Nicholas (3/48) controlled the tempo for the most part in a fairly comprehensive performance.

BERWICK BOWLING CLUB ROUND 15 Only three rounds remain in the home and away season, and Berwick are in a good position to host four home finals in Finals Round 1. On the flip side there are also a few sides with relegation looming. Berwick 1 (60-3) was defeated by Blackburn 2 (83-15). B1 are now in ninth position, six points out of eighth spot. The bottom three sides are playing the top three next round and every rink won will be important if the 1s are to avoid relegation. It’s a similar story for Berwick 2 (72-4) who were defeated by Clayton 2 (79-14). B2 swapped spots with Clayton to slip to eighth spot. Once again they’ll need to win as many rinks as possible in the next two rounds before the final round match up away at Ferntree Gully. Berwick 3 (92-16) defeated Clayton 3 (62-2). B3 moves 31 points clear on top of Section 8 and are looking well-placed for a home final in four weeks’ time. With games against Mulgrave CC, Glen Waverley and Narre Warren to finish off the season, the 3s will need to ensure that they stay on their game. Berwick 4 (62-2) was defeated by Vermont South 3 (89-16) to slip out of top spot in their section this week. The 4s can return to the top of the table next week when they take on the sec-

Berwick 5 (79-14) defeated Keysborough 2 (73-4) in a tight contest at home. B5 remain on top of the ladder by six points and face second placed Mulgrave Country Club 6 next week. A win next week will stretch the lead, a loss will see the 5s slip to second place. Berwick 6 (94-18) defeated Waverley Golf 2 (58-0). The 6s are now 28 points clear in top spot and will be looking to consolidate their claim on a home final in the coming weeks. The next three games are against middle of the table sides and the 6s will be playing against sides that are working hard to avoid relegation.

Bulls under Bright yoke By David Nagel Only the menacing shadow cast by Cardinia (177) champion Dwayne Doig can stop Kooweerup (1/14) from rubber-stamping top spot in the West Gippsland Cricket Association Premier Division this Saturday. The star off-spinner has already made a key breakthrough -that of Demons’ gun Chris O’Hara (12) - as the Bulls look to defend a modest total compiled against the most frugal attack in the competition. Several Bulls gained a start, but Ricky Campbell (47), Alex Nooy (28) and Luke Turner (26) will be kicking themselves after not producing an innings of real importance. Paul Bright (3/19 off 9) was the pick of the quicks for the Demons, while brother Matt Bright (4/40 off 15) and skipper Mark Cooper (2/38 off 17) put their slow-bowling combination to good use. O’Hara -not happy after his latein-the-day dismissal- said it was terrific to see the two Brights back in the side after spending the early part of the season in B Grade. “It’s great to see them back in the side,” he said. “It’s a real plus for us to see so many players stepping up. The game is on an even keel at the minute, but if we bat well and bat out the overs we should get the runs.” Fellow premiership contender Pakenham (5/394cc) posted a massive score against Pakenham Upper/ Toomuc in front of a huge Pink Ladies Day crowd at Toomuc Reserve. The Lions had some key players spend crucial time in the middle with Zac Chaplin (79), Chris Smith (75), Rob Elston (70), Chris Savage

Matt ‘Mushy’ Bright took this absolute screamer off his brother Paul’s bowling to remove Bulls skipper Neil Barfuss cheaply. 164741 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS (59), Jason Williams (49 not out) and Dom Paynter (23) all making stellar contributions. The Lions paced their innings perfectly according to Elston. “One of the things that we’ve pushed a lot is how important it is to only be one or two (wickets) down at tea because it really sets you up to make hay while the sun shines after that,” he said. Tooradin (4/180) also imposed its will on a competition cellar-dweller, smashing aside Emerald (164) in one-sided contest at Tooradin.

Cal O’Hare (3/41 and 82 not out) reminded all and sundry of his exquisite all-round talents, while Kade Burns (2/52), Matt Welsh (2/15) and Russ Lehman (36) all performed at key junctures. AJ Walker (45), Michael Nell (31) and Nick Hill (31) fought hard for the Bombers and will need to do so again this Saturday to avoid outright defeat. And Merinda Park (227) looks set to leapfrog Upper Beaconsfield (0/1) into fifth position after a strong batting display on the weekend.

The Cobras had key contributions from openers Dan McCalman (39) and Dylan Cuthbertson (26) but still found themselves in trouble at 6/130. But skipper Danny Diwell (46) stood tall, repelling the best of Jonathon Caderamanpulle (6/65 off 20) to share a 69-run stand with Gagandeep Sharma (26) to lead his side from the doldrums. Bath Perera (2/19) also tasted success for the Maroons who will resume with Kyle Gibbs (0) and Rukshan Carim (1) at the crease.

Cricket carnival is fun for everyone The 2017 Melbourne Stars All Abilities Cricket Carnival will be held at Casey Fields on Sunday 19 February. Bringing together cricketers with all abilities from across Victoria to play at the one venue, the carnival will feature Ten Over Tonk and Super League divisions. The Ten Over Tonk is a participation format that seeks to give cricketers an equal opportunity at batting, bowling and fielding using a plastic ball, whereas cricketers wanting to participate in a more competitive setting can play hard ball cricket in the Super League’s Ten10 format. The Melbourne All Abilities Cricket Association (MAACA) will also have its grand final at the Carnival, commencing at 9.30am. Melbourne Stars CEO Clint Cooper said the Melbourne Stars All Abilities Cricket Carnival is a great showcase of why cricket is a game for all Victorians. “It’s a great and spirited atmosphere and we look forward to seeing as many locals and fans as possible at Casey Fields. The carnival continues to build momentum and we’re proud to get behind the day and support this annual event," Cooper said.

From left: Wayne Cornwall, Nick Bruin, Gareth Alsem and Glenn Ruddle will all represent Cranbourne at the Picture: GARY SISSONS carnival. 164238 Melbourne Stars player Seb Gotch will be in attendance to meet participants and fans, along with giveaways and an appearance by Stars’ mascot Starman.

There will be a special presentation to launch the carnival at 9am, with the first round of matches to commence at 9.30am. The carnival will con-

clude with the Super League Grand Final from 2.30pm with a medal and trophy presentation to follow at 4pm. The carnival is complete-

�� Reviews and news…

Big, bold and practical too By Alistair Kennedy It’s a bit of a stretch to call Kia the sleeping giant of the Australian automotive industry but for a company with such close links to its high-flying Korean sibling, Hyundai, it has long been something of an under-performer. That’s all changed in the last two years with back-to-back growth in sales of 20.5 per cent in 2015 and 26.5 per cent in 2016 and Kia has now moved into the top 10 of overall motor vehicles sales for the first time. This week’s test vehicle, the Sorento, is the larger of Kia’s two SUV models and it has been an important contributor in the sales growth following the arrival of its current third generation model in mid-2015. Sorento comes in four grades. In rising order of equipment and price they are Si, SLi and Platinum. Prices range from $40,990 for the petrol two-wheel-drive Si to $58,490 for the turbo-diesel AWD GT-Line. Sorento is neat and compact with a high bonnet and the characteristic Kia grille flanked by large cutouts for the foglights and eyebrow headlights topped by LED daytime running lights. Both the grille and lower air intake have an attractive honeycomb fill. The roofline flows gradually downwards from above the front seats to the rear and, while it does reduce headroom in the third row seats that’s only

Kia Sorento is a quality SUV-people mover crossover. going to be a problem in the unlikely event of adults occupying the seats. Kia Sorento is a seven-seater, effectively an SUV-people mover crossover, so outward vision is important and the side windows are large and extend all the way to the rear. Likewise the rear of the vehicle is squared-off to enable 320 litres of luggage to be carried even when all seven seats are in use. That increases t0 1077 litres with the third row seatbacks folded, and a van-like 2066 litres with the second row also folded. Standard across all three models are

roof rails and rear spoiler. SLi and Platinum add a hands-free powered tailgate and LED rear combination lights with the Platiunum getting a panoramic sunroof. The Si rides on 17-inch alloy wheels; the SLi on 18-inch alloys and Platinum and GT-Line on 19s. The latest addition to the Sorento range, the GT-Line, added in late 2016, gets chrome wheels, stainless steel side steps, red brake calipers, red leather trim, paddle shifters, LED ice cube fog lamps, chrome accented interior and GT-Line badging. Two engines are available, 3.3-litre

V6 petrol and four-cylinder 2.2-litre turbo-diesel. The V6, offered only in the 2WD models, generates 199 kilowatts of power and 318 Nm of torque at a very high 5300 rpm. The AWD Sorento models, to cater for the potential extra demands, get the diesel engine which produces 147 kW of power and a healthy 441 Nm to torque between 1750 rpm and 2750 revs. All Sorento models have a sixspeed automatic transmission. Sorento’s tech features use the the Kia audio-video navigation (AVN) system using a 7.0-inch LCD touchscreen. All models get satellite navigation with SUNA traffic information, Aux and USB input and Bluetooth functionality. Pairing is intuitive and fast.

The Si has a six-speaker audio system, higher specced models a 10-speaker premium Infinity sound system powered by an external amplifier. Both have speed dependent volume control. Sorento has a five-star safety rating from Australasian NCAP. There are six airbags, including front-to-rear curtain coverage. All models have ABS with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution; elctronic stability control; vehicle stability management; hill start assist; emergency stop signal; reversing camera; front and rear parking sensors and a tyre pressure monitoring system. The Platinum adds lane departure warning; smart cruise control; blindspot detection and rear cross traffic alert to the driver safety aids. The new GT-Line is the first Sorento to feature autonomous emergency braking. Entry and exit is easy with little bending and straightening requires. The front seats are large, comfortable and supportive. The middle row second row seas can slide back and forward with plenty of legroom for the tallest of adult passengers when set in the rearmost position.

New Audi’s fun and function By Ewan Kennedy The relentless advancement in technology is everywhere, and nowhere more so than in the automotive field. Witness the stunning new Audi S4 high-performance range. Audi S4’s ancestry dates back to 1993, although it was called S6 at the time. Priced at $132,000, that hot machine produced 169 kilowatts from its five-cylinder in-line engine and ran the zero to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds. The just-launched 2017 Audi S4 hits 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds thanks to its twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6’s 260 kW and is priced from just $99,900. So, costing a staggering $33,000 less, the new Audi is much quicker, more economical and significantly cleaner. Given that Audi’s catch phrase of ‘Vorsprung der technik’ translates approximately into English as ‘Advancement through technology’, these changes perhaps shouldn't surprise us. But it does raise the question of what will come out of Audi’s HQ in Ingolstadt in 24 years’ time? A word on the price, though, to bring things back to reality. The first Audi we tested had a tag of $116,196, not $99,900. It was coated in a red pearl effect paint that added $1846. The sports differential in the quattro AWD system, $2950. It included a $5600 Technik package consisting of matrix headlights, Bang and Olufsen 3D sound system, and a head-up display. Finally, it has the S performance package that included sports seats with

Subtle changes to the styling of the sporting Audi S4 give it a purposeful appearance. pneumatic lumbar support, upgraded upholstery and trim details, and red painted brake callipers. Audi S4 comes in both four-door sedan and five-door station wagon format, the latter referred to in Audi speak as Avant and priced from $102,990. Styling changes to the standard Audi A4 to produce the S4 are comparatively subtle, though train spotters will have no trouble seeing that it sits 23mm lower, has a revised grille treat-

ment, side skirts and rear diffuser. Audi’s stylists have gone for ‘highperformance’ looks in the add-ons as they use aluminium and chrome with a grey look where appropriate. Inside are sports seats with good side support, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and an extensive use of carbon inlays. The powertrain of the Audi S4 features a turbo-petrol V6 3.0-litre engine that puts out 260 kilowatts of power

and 500 Newton metres of torque. The latter from a very low 1370 rpm, continuing till 4500 revs. Permanent transmission to all four wheels is by way of an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic that’s optimised to suit the sporting nature of the car and Audi’s quattro layout. Driving modes are Sport, Normal and Efficiency. We primarily used S during our initial 400+ kilometres at the media launch.

Our drive program took us from Mt Panorama to Canberra airport, the long way around to make the best of quiet, interesting roads. The sports Audi is surprisingly well balanced for a car with an engine a fair way forward. It corners at speeds double the suggested for most corners without trying particularly hard, with the quattro system’s optional sport diff playing its part. A less obvious area of advancement through technology in recent years is the ability to build a car with sporting suspension and sexy-looking low profile tyres that is still reasonably comfortable. Some of the backroads we traversed had seen better days, but the S4 sedan and Avant wagon soaked up the lumps and bumps pretty well. A soft-riding limo it’s not, but passengers will seldom experience any real discomfort. There’s some engine turbo lag, but it really has been reduced to a minimum thanks to the installation of the turbocharger within the ‘V’ of the engine. Once the lag is past, acceleration is immense and is sure to bring a smile to your face as it makes for very safe overtaking. With maximum torque coming in at a ridiculously low 1370 revs hills cease to exist. Audi S4 is a technologically advanced sports sedan, or wagon, at a relatively low price. One for the short list of anyone who wants efficient family transport that also provides driving excitement. Contact Audi Barry Bourke, 755 Princes Highway, Berwick. Phone 9707 2222.
