Look at what's about to land in front of Tracie Schmutter’s home in Narre Warren South. It’s not a TARDIS or another kind of spacecraft ... but Ms Schmutter is hoping that the National Broadband Network’s plans for a node cabinet in the middle of the front yard will dematerialise.

An 18-year-old man who lives in Casey has pleaded guilty to setting a door on fire and damaging a roof during a recent “nightmarish” riot at Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre. Devontae Ulutui had used an iPad to set fire to rubbish and clothes, which he piled next to an exerciseyard electronic security door about 2.15pm on 25 January, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard. The door was “engulfed” in flames as Ulutui and four inmates fed the fire with jumpers and other items, the court was told. The centre had earlier gone into lockdown due to about 18 inmates rioting elsewhere in the facility. At the same time, an “unruly” Ulutui and his group refused to leave the exercise courtyard and go back to their cells. They repeatedly kicked windows and doors as well as tearing down a section of roof flashing, police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Amber-Lea Browne said. After surrendering that evening, Ulutui was charged with arson and criminal damage for $12,000 of damage to the door and roof. At the time, he was serving a two-year detention term until May 2019. His lawyer told the court that an “immature” Ulutui and his group had not had access to the gym for long when the lockdown started, and so wanted to stay. To Ulutui’s credit, he didn’t join the escape of inmates after a prisoner took possession of a key and let others out later that day, the lawyer said. The accused was being “stood over” after being transferred to the adult Port Phillip Prison on 30 January, his lawyer said. Even after being moved to the prison’s youth wing, Ulutui was
12338439-KC5-17
vulnerable as one of the youngest detainees. “He would prefer a youth system than an adult system.” The lawyer said Ulutui had descended into drug use, homelessness and serious criminality since a “sensitive” family issue in 2014, and was at risk of being institutionalised. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen several times told Ulutui to take off his cap during the hearing via a videolink from Port Phillip Prison on 27 March. Mr Vandersteen said the accused’s behaviour added to the sense of chaos and emergency during the riot. “A fire in a custodial environment is very serious,” he said, noting a fatal blaze at the former Pentridge prison in the past. “It places yourself and other inmates at risk of being hurt, not just by fire but the smoke. “This would have been a nightmarish afternoon ... there’s a massing of individuals not complying with directions then a fire causing $10,000 of damage.” Ulutui had turned 18 just three days before the riot, and had a “significant” history of crime and breaking justice orders, he noted. “What he doesn’t appreciate is that now he is an adult, we can take into account general deterrence (in sentencing).” A Youth Justice report presented to the court found Ulutui was unsuitable for youth detention, but Mr Vandersteen said he’d “left that door open to you”. “You know if you keep playing up ... they’ll return you to Port Phillip.” Ulutui was sentenced to 12 months in a youth detention centre - half of which was on top of his current term.

NBN’s front lawn invasion The node’s position would be right in front of the house’s windows, and would dent the property’s value, aesthetics and access for car parking, she argues. “It wouldn’t matter so much if they put it off to the side but they can’t because of the Telstra infrastructure already there. “It’s just a telecom party.” She was unimpressed by an NBN
By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Narre Warren South resident is shocked by NBN Co plans to install a large National Broadband Network node cabinet in the middle of her front lawn. Tracie Schmutter was shocked to learn in March that the “massive” cabinet would be built on the councilowned nature strip next to her unfenced front yard on Portree Place.
Co argument that she would benefit from faster internet speeds due to the node’s proximity. Ms Schmutter said there were several less intrusive alternative sites that didn’t impinge on views from windows or front lawns. NBN Co has not yet made a final decision on the site but Ms Schmutter had been given “no hope” that anything would change.
“It seems that money is tight and the NBN Co can do whatever they want to do.” In correspondence with Ms Schmutter, an NBN Co case manager stated re-location would only be considered for “life threatening or safety issues”. Sites were chosen mainly according to being able to “efficiently maintain the (NBN) infrastructure to service the
surrounding homes,” Ms Schmutter was told. “While (NBN) appreciates that the selected locations may not be the preference for everyone, unfortunately aesthetic concerns or front lawn parking are not a means to relocate a node.” An NBN spokesman said the company was exploring “alternative placements that fit within our design requirements”.

It doesn’t make any sense to us.” A WorkSafe manager responded to Mr Weaven that “we have since followed up, identified the person depict-
By Cam Lucadou-Wells WorkSafe has ordered a stop put to asbestos removal on the proposed Alira residential estate in Berwick as it investigates alleged health and safety breaches. Adjoining residents Paul and Jenni Weaven had earlier submitted photos of a man without protective gear such as a respirator picking up material on the asbestos-contaminated site on Ward Road on 23 March. Mr Weaven said the man had filled a “fairly full bag” of material, some which appeared to be asbestos-containing material. He surmised the material had been “obviously identified” during a site inspection that day. Some of it was picked up near a mulch pile from which debris had been blown into his backyard during tree removal works in late January, he said. Mr Weaven had first sounded the
ed and taken appropriate enforcement action to prevent recurrence”. The alleged breach came a day after WorkSafe told Star News that the developer would use an independent occupational hygienist to plan and oversee asbestos removal on the site. It would be undertaken by a licensed asbestos removalist, a spokeswoman said. On 29 March, the spokeswoman said the authority was aware of “allegations of asbestos removal at the site which may have breached OHS regulations”. The authority had ordered further activity at the site to cease while it made inquiries, she said. Recently, Environment Protection Authority Victoria had deemed only “limited, if any” earthworks had occurred during tree removal. On recent inspections, the EPA had found no evidence that works were “not consistent with best practice”.

Cancer walk is afoot
Attempted axe murder
By Victoria Stone-Meadows
By Victoria Stone-Meadows and Cam Lucadou-Wells
A Narre Warren South woman will be walking 200 kilometres over 10 days to raise money for research into all different types of cancer. Janet Halsall has been raising money for the Cancer Council through the Relay for Life for almost 10 years, but has decided to do something a little different. Each day of the walk will be devoted to a different type of cancer, and Ms Halsall is hoping to raise about $30,000 for cancer research. Ms Halsall decided to embark on this massive journey after being inspired by Federal Minister for Health Greg Hunt. “I joined Greg Hunt some years ago when he was doing a 500 kilometre walk around his electorate,” Ms Halsall said. “He does that every few years for a different charity each time, and I went out and did that in 2015, I thought it was a great idea, a real bringing together of the community.” Ms Halsall said she was a little over the hill to manage a 500 kilometre walk, and added 200 kilometres was a bit more realistic. “I will be walking around the City of Casey, not exactly travelling sequentially,” she said. “Each day there will be a community gathering and the location of the gathering determine where I end up at lunchtime each day.” While the main focus of the walk is to fundraise, Ms Halsall said there was also the aim of bringing the community together and sharing in each other’s experiences. “The main idea is to catch up with the community along the way at those events to hear from others about cancer and weakness and treatments and looking for community donations,” she said. The walk will take Ms Halsall to 25 suburbs in Casey from Cranbourne South to Lysterfield, and she hoped people would join her along the way. Janet Halsall’s Casey Walk for a Cure will begin on Saturday 8 April at the Old Cheese Factory in Berwick, and will finish on Monday 17 April at the Cranbourne Botanic Gardens. Anyone who wants to find out more or to donate to the cause can visit ‘Casey Walk for a Cure’ on Facebook.
A Clyde North man has been charged with attempted murder after an alleged axe attack on a woman at Fountain Gate shopping centre on Monday 27 March. The woman was taken to hospital in a serious, but non-life threatening condition after she was viciously assaulted a number of times by the man shortly after 10am. She remains in a serious but stable condition at The Alfred hospital. The man violently attacked the woman hitting her a number of times with the axe inside one of the shops at the shopping centre. While police cannot confirm the nature of the relationship between the man and the woman, it is believed the two know each other. Detectives have charged the 45-year-old Clyde North man with attempted murder and other assault-related charges. The man was taken into custody at the Narre Warren police and was refused bail at an out-of-sessions hearing at Narre Warren police station that night. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 28 March. Police are looking to speak to a man who witnessed the attack who was wearing a fluorescent vest and standing next to the exit of the shop involved before police arrived. Police are appealing for this man and anyone else who witnessed the incident to come forward. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

49 High Street, Berwick On Monday 27 March, the Cranbourne/Berwick News shared the breaking story that a man had been arrested after allegedly attacking a woman with an axe in broad daylight at Fountain Gate shopping centre. Violence has been at the forefront of Casey for some time, but rarely is there an act of violence so brazen and horrifying as this. Here is how readers reacted to the news: Leanne Bouzoukis: Some p***-weak judge will bail him tomorrow. Tracey Carter: Agree Leanne Bouzoukis, it always happens. Naomi Mactaggart: Weak as p***. A few blokes need to give him a workout with an axe. Kiki Sakir: My grandma was there at that time! Dona Martino Tomich: World’s gone mad!

On Tuesday 28 March, The Cranbourne/ Berwick News announced on Facebook that the man who allegedly attacked a woman in Fountain Gate with an axe had been denied bail in an out of sessions court hearing. The rate at which offenders have or have not been granted bail has been a big talking point for the community and this news was no different. Here is how you reacted: Kirra Timms: Wow! The justice system/judge did something right for once. Vanessa Watson: Yes no bail but the hearing is today so it’s only one night locked up. Let’s see what today’s judge says. Reanna Borninkhof: About time the justice system did something right for once. Michael Filiadis: No bail ... now there is a surprise. Trish Sachiko Lawrence: Wow, nice to see not out on bail for once. Diane Drinkwater: Great stuff this time! Noelene Wijesinghe: This has made my day. Justice at last. Loz Townsend: Thank God hallelujah. Ariane Sanza: Good! Alanna Davies: Thank God, this is so hectic. I can’t believe they actually denied someone for once! Chris Taylor: OMG what a shock ... the law actually did their job. On 22 March, The Cranbourne/Berwick News shared the story of a parcel delivery van that
was stolen in Cranbourne while the delivery driver walked to a nearby house. The van was remotely disabled and dumped in Nyora, but not before the thieves took the opportunity to ransack the parcels in the back of the van. The post attracted a lot of attention on the News Facebook page and here is a sample of how people reacted to the story:
Ray’s say
Wayne Mete: At least this bloke got rid of half his freight. We should employ him! Amanda Grimsey: And before 9am! Rachael L. McVicar: I’d be p****d if I was waiting on something to be delivered. Molly-Rose O’Connell: Exciting times for Nyora.

Parking madness rankles By Cam Lucadou-Wells A commuter says she’s been driven away from taking the train to work due to a car-parking shortage at Berwick railway station. After a fruitless search around the station’s car park and neighbouring streets for a spot from about 7.20am on 28 March, Danielle Soobaroyen said she called off going to work. “There was just nothing there - unless I park 10 kilometres away.” Days earlier, Ms Soobaroyen had received a $78 parking ticket from City of Casey for over-staying in a three-hour parking spot at Melville Park Drive while she worked in Melbourne’s CBD. She insists she had only parked in the residential street out of desperation. “Now, I cannot afford to go to work,” she said. “I can’t afford to pay another fine.” Ms Soobaroyen said she would have to park about 6.30am to assure herself of an all-day parking spot, but had children to organise and drop off at childcare. Having commuted to the CBD for several years, she said the early-morning parking shortage had worsened in recent weeks. “I just don’t think it’s right. It’s nearly causing me a panic attack.” According to 2014 PTV data, nearly 2000 commuters use the station prior to 9.30am on weekdays. About half of the station’s weekday commuters were driving their cars to get there.

Mayor versus ‘tinpot’ group By Cam Lucadou-Wells
Danielle Soobaroyen in the full-up Berwick station car park. 166619 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS
Cars parking on the footpath in the Berwick train station car park. 166619 On inspection on 28 March, cars are parked not only in every available parking bay at the railway station but also its garden beds and footpaths. City of Casey transport strategic advisor Paul Hamilton said the council understood commuters' frustrations, but had to consider the impact on surrounding residents’ amenity and access to nearby streets. “Council manages this situation with a mixture of parking controls aimed at finding a balance between the needs of both commuters and residents.”
Mr Hamilton said the council would continue lobbying the State Government for better bus connections to the station. “We encourage the community to also contact Public Transport Victoria and their local State Member for Parliament on transport issues to reinforce our message.” A VicTrack spokesman said the car park had grown by 170 spaces in the past three years. “A number of sites are currently being investigated for future station car park upgrades.”
Casey mayor Sam Aziz has denied complaints by a Ratepayers Victoria vice-president that he was “rude and aggressive” during a heated phone call recently. Cr Aziz said he didn’t want to waste his time with a “selfappointed organisation” that had “parachuted itself” into a Berwick neighbourhood fence dispute. However, he denied RV vicepresident Jack Davis’ claim that he’d labelled the group a “tinpot organisation”. Mr Davis, a former Oakleigh and Monash councillor, has sent a complaint to Casey chief executive Mike Tyler. Mr Davis said that he’d asked why he’d received no response to emails sent to Cr Aziz and ward councillor Timothy Jackson about a Berwick man’s complaints over a neighbour’s five-metre wall. “I was told by the mayor that they do not reply to third-party inquiries. “His reply was: never heard of your group, you’re just seeking notoriety for some tin pot organisation. “He was extremely rude and aggressive ... His behaviour on the phone was not what I would expect from any mayor. “His attack on me personally went on for some considerable time.” Cr Aziz said he’d failed to
Sam Aziz says he won't listen to the "selfappointed" Ratepayers Victoria organisation over a dispute between two residents. see the value of Mr Davis’ intervention in the wall dispute. “We already had council officers on to it. I wasn’t sure what his advocacy would achieve. “I don’t have a lot of time to waste pandering to the ego of a self-appointed organisation with limited or no role to play in a dispute between two residents. “I’ve never heard of them. I’m not sure who they are, how they’re appointed or what is their governance structure.” Cr Aziz said he willingly responded to Casey residents as their elected representative but not people “coming from outside the city and adding no value to the issue”.
He and six other councillors listened to residents at a recent Casey People’s Panel consultation, Cr Aziz said. Their feedback verified the council’s digitising of 14 services, its stand on law and order and for upgrading of major road arterials, he said. Meanwhile, Cr Aziz threatened to evict Berwick Springs estate resident Michael Ball for interjecting during the 21 March council meeting. A group of residents, including Mr Ball, had earlier had their questions excluded from public question time about a developer’s plan to demolish the estate’s bluestone-walled, landscaped entrance for a re-positioned roundabout at Greaves Road. “Cr Aziz claims there are a handful of residents," Mr Ball said. "There are 3000 residents affected by this decision, never consulted by council and we will not be dismissed by council like a naughty child in a classroom. “If standing up for what I believe in and what the residents of Berwick Springs believe in, then I am every bit very proud to be evicted from Casey council last night.” Cr Aziz said the residents’ questions had already been answered in a council report and that he’d continue to rule their submissions out-of-order during question time.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells It was like meeting military royalty in the vaunted vaults of the Shrine of Remembrance on 22 March. At a fund-raising night for Berwick author Michael Madden’s ambitious book project The Victoria Cross: Australia Remembers, the crimsonribboned VC featured prominently both on page, canvas and gleaming in replica. Mr Madden’s grandly designed book will recognise Australia’s 100 VC recipients, telling the story of the people behind the medal and their extraordinary acts of valour. One of his interviewees was Doug Baird, father of the late Corporal Cameron Baird - who was posthumously awarded Australia’s 100th Victoria Cross in 2014. At the night, a proud Mr Baird said it was important to promote Mr Madden’s book for its educational value for younger generations. “It’s showing them the people who have done extraordinary things for our country. They are prepared to sacrifice their life for what they believe in.” Mr Baird is determined to continue his son’s good work, which included numerous fundraising deeds for charity. He spruiks a charity Cam’s Cause - formed by former

teachers and school friends of his son. It raises funds to support the Commando Welfare Trust and supports returned servicepeople in his son’s 2nd Commando Regiment. The charity has adopted Corporal Baird’s motto ‘Aspire to Inspire’. Funds go towards accommodation and equipment such as fishing rods and surfboards at wellness camps for returned Australian commandos. It also provides professional help at the camps. Mr Baird was planning a trip to visit homeless ex-soldiers on the banks of the Murray River in coming days. “When we think of the homeless, it’s amazing that these include ex-soldiers in farflung areas of Australia living in squalor and on river banks. “Some of these guys can be on the aggro side, so we make them a meal, a coffee and encourage them to seek help.” At the soiree, VC recipient Keith Payne told of the royal treatment that Victoria Cross recipients receive from the Royal Family in the UK, and how touched he is by strangers who shake his hand and thank him for his service. Acclaimed artist George Petrou was there, flanked by his vibrant portraits of prominent Australian servicemen. The portraits included VC
recipients Keith Payne, Cameron Baird and Albert Jacka. Faye Axford, of Endeavour Hills, attended after reading a recent story on Mr Madden’s book in Star News. Ms Axford has rare bloodlines as a relative to two Australian VC recipients - great-niece of Thomas Axford and greatniece by marriage to Albert Jacka. She has recently been interviewed for Mr Madden’s book to talk about her heroic ancestors. On 22 March, an overcome Ms Axford was presented with replicas of her great-uncle Thomas’ medals by Mr Madden, and chatted at length with Mr Payne - who knew her illustrious ancestor well. Next year, she plans to tour Le Hamel, in Somme, the scene of Lance Corporal Axford’s awarded heroism, exactly 100 years after the event. “I’m just so proud to be an Axford,” she said. Also at the event, journalist Ross Coulthard at length retold the story of discovering the significant WWI photographic portraits of the ‘Lost Diggers of Vignacourt’ in a French village attic. Anyone who can help with information for Michael Madden’s book, can call him on 0418 900 204 or email michael@berwickmilitarymedals. com.au.

Council votes for CISS to get funding increase By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey City Council has voted to increase the funding and support they give to the two Community Information and Support Services (CISS) in the municipality. The Cranbourne Information and Support Service and the Casey North Information and Support Service will receive a 10 per cent funding boost from council this coming financial year. Under current CISS funding arrangements, the service providers receive threeyear funding outlooks from council with a 5 to 5.5 per cent increase per year. However, CISS have seen an unprecedented growth in their emergency relief work in the last few years, prompting them to submit a funding increase request. Cranbourne CISS executive officer Leanne Petrides said they were very happy to hear about the funding and it would allow them to properly provide services to more and more people. “We were exceptionally pleased to hear that news,” she said. “We work really closely with the City of Casey on a range of issues and they have always supported us and been vocal about supporting the essential work we do with vulnerable residents.” Ms Petrides said there were a range of factors that had contributed to an increase in people seeking emergency relief services in the Casey region. “In the south of Casey, in particular, there is a massive population growth, and we continue to see a high number of people who are suffering from social economic hardship living on very low incomes such as casual wages or Centrelink benefits.” CISS has found the main reasons people find themselves in economic hardship are paying a percentage of income in housing costs, increase cost of utilities,

education medical expenses, and the further out in Casey, the more people are reliant on cars. At a council meeting on Tuesday 21 March, Casey Council carried a motion that would give the CISSs a 10 per cent funding boost in the first year of the upcoming payment agreement which will last four years. Under the increased funding arrangement, the Cranbourne CISS will receive $505,000 in the 2017-'18 financial year a $17,932 increase above the usual 5 per cent annual growth. The Casey North CISS will receive $599,117 in the 2017-'18 financial year a $16,656 increase over the usual growth. The $94,117 discrepancy in between the two service providers is accounted for by the Casey North CISS receiving assistance from council to cover the rental agreement in the building they occupy. The remaining three years of the funding agreement to the 2020-'21 financial year will revert back to the usual 5 per cent increase per year. Ms Petrides said the funding increase will enable CISS to keep helping the Casey community. “The funding from Casey keeps our doors open and able to provide a range of crisis support services to people in our community,” she said. At the same meeting, council passed a recommendation to extend funding for another year to 14 community service organisations across the municipality. The recommendation to refer a third year of funding for the Community Services Contribution (CSC) program was passed without comment. A third year of funding for the CSC program will see council grant a total of $254,370 to various charities and community service providers in Casey and surrounding areas.
Watersun’s 200 home victims By Victoria Stone-Meadows More than 200 properties that were the responsibility of Watersun Homes will be left in the hands of jilted home owners after the company was unable to find builders to take over the works. Many of the homeowners terminated their contacts after Waterson announced the company was going into administration in late February. The announcement cast a shadow of doubt over the future of more than
400 unfinished houses across the state. However, some Watersun clients that want to see their homes built have been left in the lurch and will need to find their own builder to take over the contract. Three new builders have been contracted to complete the remaining 200 unfinished houses across Victoria after Watersun Homes collapsed. Mega Homes, VM Builders and Ric Jelfs Custom Homes will take
over houses from Watersun that are in pre-contract or contract stages of development. Any home owners that have contacts covered by the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority will be able to make a claim against Watersun Homes. A meeting of Watersun Homes creditors will be held on 5 April to determine if the company should be liquidated and the business's assets will be assessed and sold for creditor debt recovery.
It’s been a rollercoaster ride The community has dug deep and helped make Berwick teen Nathan Forsyth’s Mission Possible by raising more than $20,000 to get a sick young man overseas to ride the rollercoaster of his dreams. Nathan’s mother Eli Cullcutt said her family was overwhelmed by the support from the community. “From my family, we would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts,” she said. “The school and its community supported Nathan’s journey and allowed us to have the fund-raiser on their premises. It was a huge success and has raised well over the $15,000 target.”
“We now can look forward to taking Nathan on a welldeserved break to create new memories and hopefully put the last three years behind us as a distant memory.” Shown here is Nathan’s cousin
Melinda Wright, Nathan Forsyth with his Mum Eli Collcutt and his stepfather Anny Collcutt at the trivia night fund-raiser that has made Nathan’s Mission Possible.

THE DECADENCE OF CABARET RETURNS… Following a sell-out season in Sydney, The Kit Kat Club is returning to Melbourne in all its decadence for a new Australian revival of CABARET playing at The Athenaeum Theatre from 27 April. CABARET in its musical form is based on The Berlin Stories by famous author Christopher Isherwood who exchanged his upper-middle-class conservative upbringing for the sexual freedom and social liberation of Berlin during the bustling 1930s. CABARET the musical, adapted by song and lyrics team Kander and Ebb, became a semi-biographical portrait of Isherwood’s life, celebrating life on the edge. CABARET walks the tightrope of pure entertainment and serious political consciousness and for this very reason the musical continues to allure audiences.
Star News Group is giving away 5 double passes for the Tuesday 2nd May, 7.30pm performance of CABARET at the Athenaeum Theatre 188 Collins Street, Melbourne. To be in the draw to win tickets email your name, address and contact number to wintickets@starnewsgroup.com.au or write your name, address and contact number on the back of an envelope and mail to: CABARET Competition, PO Box 9, Pakenham Victoria 3810.

War over $50 A Hampton Park man - with the help of a co-accused wielding a fence paling - has bashed his friend who tried to collect a $50 debt. Petap Kong, 22, got into an argument with his friend, who had also arrived at his house to pick up his bike on the evening of 25 November, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told. Kong used both hands to push the friend’s chest, telling him he wouldn’t repay him until the following Tuesday. He then punched the man’s forehead, and the pair wrestled
each other on the ground. Kong’s co-accused then pulled up the victim by the hair, raised a wooden paling above his head and threatened to kill the victim. Kong’s mother, who saw the fight from her car, called triplezero. Kong told police he’d acted in self-defence, out of the belief “he would have come at me”. His lawyer told the court on 27 March that the regretful accused accepted that “the way these events unfolded is incredibly undesirable”. ‘It shouldn’t have happened this way.”
WANT A CAREER WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A REAL CONNECTION?
The two-year unemployed man had no violent priors - only drug and property offences and was keen to become a “productive member of the community”, the lawyer said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted how innocuous initial contact escalated into something serious. “This is all over $50 you borrowed from the victim, and you wanted to give it back on your terms.” Kong was convicted and fined $1000 - which could be converted to about 33 hours of community work.

Is he too big a risk? A psychiatric report has been ordered for a man pleading guilty to threatening to kill his estranged spouse who had separated from him up to seven years ago. Over several days in February, the 42-year-old man defied an intervention order and bail conditions with abusive text messages, visits to the family’s home and taping a hidden mobile phone to the partner’s car, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard. Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Amber-Lea Browne said the ex-partner took a photo of the man watching her load their children into her car from the opposite side of the street. The former wife then drove off before he could talk to her. The man texted her, calling her an “old pig” and telling her to “go back to where you come from”. More text-messages followed from the phone of a friend of the accused, though the complainant believed they were written by her former husband of 15 years.
The messages called her a “sick b****” and a “first-class b****”. “Do you know what it’s like? Are you even human? “You deserve everything you are going to get.” On 8 February, the man’s mother contacted the police and the ex-partner warning that the man was walking angrily around the house, saying he’d kill the spouse and go to jail. The ex-partner removed herself and her children to a friend’s house in Berwick - but the man tracked them down and was captured on CCTV in front of the house 5am the next day. During the visit, the man taped a mobile phone to the exhaust of the partner’s car. While in remand, the man sent a hand-written note in Bosnian to his ex-partner - which “spoke volumes” of the man’s “absolute despair”, his defence lawyer said. Since the incidents, the man - a problem drinker - had expressed suicidal ideas and blamed his wife for “setting him up”, the lawyer said. He tried to track her car out of a misguided belief she was trafficking drugs with her chil-
dren in the car, the lawyer said. “It says something about his mentality. “He clearly needs psychological help. He has had problems accepting the relationship is over. “He can’t see his kids and he needs to contact a family lawyer.” The man told the court that his 50 days on remand in Port Phillip Prison had been a “wake-up call”. “I don’t pose a risk. “At that point of time, when it all happened, I was drinking heavily.” Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he wouldn’t release the man until a psychiatric report was submitted to the court. He said the mother’s concern and reporting her son to police and the ex-partner was particularly significant. “I hear what you’re saying I promise, I promise, I’m gonna, I’m gonna ... I expressed it very clearly to you (at a previous hearing) you can’t breach the intervention order. “I need to know what risk you pose to your family if released.”

Family’s thanks for life By Victoria Stone-Meadows A young family from Botanic Ridge are celebrating the first anniversary of their son’s birth by fund-raising for the hospital that saved their precious child’s life. After seven or eight rounds of IVF, first-time mum Kylie Angwin was blessed with the gift of life - but complications from a short cervix would mean her child made an untimely arrival. On 20 April, 2016, Oliver James Angwin came into this world at a tiny 786 grams and 16 weeks early, at the Monash Hospital in Clayton. The first four months of Oliver’s life was spent in the intensive neonatal care unit of Monash Hospital and at times mother Kylie wasn’t sure her young child would make it. “When he was being born, we were told he didn’t make it before I delivered him,” she said. “An hour after that he had a heartbeat and the neonatal specialist resuscitated him.” “He had a rough time in the first few weeks of his life; he was ventilated, had many transfusions and tests, he spent 120 days in the Monash so for four months every day we going in and out to be able to see him and watch him grow.” Oliver’s premature entry into the world means his physical development is a bit delayed but defying the odds and having his first birthday hasn’t slowed him down. “When he came home he needed oxygen to assist with breathing, which he only just come off this week; he was 11 months old and breathing alone for the first time,” Ms Angwin said. “He’s great now, happy and active; he’s 7.5kg so he’s pretty much the size of a seven month old.”
When he was born, Oliver weighed less than one kilogram and spent four months in intensive care. Picture: CONTRIBUTED Now the family want to give back to the doctors and nurses who saved their son’s life by fund-raising to supply the hospital with a Newborn Anne mannequin. The mannequin is designed for skills training in neonatal resuscitation with anatomical accuracy and a product feature set designed to focus on the
critical resuscitation skills required in the first 10 minutes of a newborn’s life. The family are raising the money through the Monash Health Foundation’s Everyday Hero appeal.

NEW LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY IS GROWING THE secret is well and truly out - Clyde is booming with land snapped up as soon as it is released. Buyers are showing that they are keen to relocate to one of the many premier estates that are transforming the former farming district. In close proximity to Berwick, the Monash Freeway and the South Gippsland Highway, Clyde and Clyde North appeal to a range of buyers who are keen on the area’s rural ambience. The City of Casey and the State Government are keeping abreast of development in the area with major road works, new schools and new community infrastructure. In January Education Minister James Merlino visited the new Willandra Rise Primary School in Clyde North to welcome the school’s first intake of students. The new school, which will eventually accommodate 475 students, is a stateof-the-art purpose-built educational facility with new technology and building designed to encourage learning and teamwork among students. The school joins Clyde Primary School which has been educating children in the area for decades. Other schools within easy reach of Clyde and Clyde North include Hillcrest Christian College, Rivercrest Christian College, St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Primary School, Casey Grammar School, Cranbourne East Primary School and Devon Meadows Primary School. St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School and the select state school Nossal High are a short drive away in Berwick. On the corner of Forest Drive and Heather Grove is the new Selandra
Community Place, a unique community hub providing the community with engaging and practical programs centred on health, wellbeing, social connectedness, local business and sustainability. The City of Casey is also overseeing the new Selandra Community Precinct, which is set to open in late 2017 to provide muchneeded community infrastructure for the growing Clyde North area. Incorporating a new integrated community centre and town square, construction on this $6.6 million project is now underway. The ecologically sustainable integrated community centre incorporates a variety of multipurpose spaces including flexible halls, meeting rooms of varying sizes, a large foyer, exhibition space and a commercial kitchen. The town square will provide residents with an accessible and vibrant community precinct, proving for a range of outdoor community activities and events including an exciting public art collaboration with RMIT University. The new precinct will be located at 7-11 Selandra Boulevard, Clyde North, and will replace the temporary facility, Selandra Community Place. Satellite cities such as Berwick are increasingly becoming employment hubs
in their own right, with the 2011 Census indicating that 59.5 per cent of workers in the City of Casey also lived in the area. Employment opportunities are one reason the Berwick Waters development, a joint venture with Frasers Property Australia and Mondous Property Australia, is proving so popular. A recent block sale set a record for the estate of $550,000. While some residents make the one-hour train commute to the Melbourne CBD, many others choose to live and work in the area. Resident Kristy Lewis commutes just 20 minutes to Doveton for her work as a registered nurse while her Berwick Waters neighbour Virginie Jacquin runs her own hair and beauty business in Clyde North. “We love it here. It’s got beautiful surroundings and it’s where we want our kids to grow up,” Virginie said. “It’s very family-oriented here there’s a lot of children and most of our children’s friends live here in the estate.” The highly industrialised Dandenong South is 16 kilometres from Berwick Waters and there’s direct freeway access
to the Melbourne CBD. The area’s lower cost of living contributes to labour cost savings of 11 to 16 per cent making it particularly attractive to business. An average of 60,000 residents per year move to Casey and neighbouring Cardinia, making it one of Australia’s fastest growing regions. It also helps that employment creation is a priority of the City of Casey, which recently opened a new facility designed to encourage and support local small businesses. In partnership with Waterman Business Centres, the Council’s Casey Cardinia Business Hub (CCBH) is for businesses seeking accommodation. One of the major road upgrades in the area, the sealing of Thompsons Road has kicked off significant demand at Meridian Estate. “The entrance to Meridian, Thompsons Road, was essentially a dirt road - now it’s a fully sealed road. “We’ll have first homes starting to be built mid-year,” Brown Property Group marketing manager Graham Nolan explained. The road network is a key connecting road for the corridor and will play a significant role in the expansion of the Clyde North community. “There are great opportunities for people to join this community. It’s starting to grow now and, obviously, there will be a lot of future amenities for people to enjoy,” Mr Nolan said. “It’s a beautiful area… a lot of it’s former farm land so it’s very undulating and there’s amazing views.”

An artist impression of one of the proposed playgrounds at Meridian 4.8 hectares of wetlands, and parks with leisure facilities set to provide “year-round social and recreation opportunities for residents”. “It’s all about creating a beautifully balanced community with choice in lot size and home design, lifestyle, and wonderful outdoor areas for neighbourhood connection,” Mr Nolan said. Meridian is developed by Brown Property Group which has a proven track record in the City of Casey of creating high quality communities that are delivered on time. Works for all six stages under construction at Meridian are on track to title in 2017. Stages one and two are set to lodge with the Titles Office in April. Don’t miss out, visit www.meridianclyde. com.au or call 1800 463 743.

The fundamentals that drive the Melbourne and, in particular, the City of Casey residential land market remain extremely sound. Strong population growth, combined with low interest rates and consumer confidence are the key drivers. ABS statistics indicate that Victoria has outperformed all other states and territories with growth of 2.1 per cent over the past 12 months, around 340 persons per day. This compares to the national growth of 1.4 per cent over the same timeframe. Victoria’s population equates to more than one-third of the country’s growth at 37 per cent. Currently, on average 7300 people move to the City of Casey each year and it is expected this will increase to 8700 per year by 2031, according to the

City of Casey. New residents comprise a healthy mix of first, second and subsequent homebuyers. Investors are also active and provide product for those that are not ready to purchase a principal place of residence at the moment. All this combines to afford a healthy environment for people to work and recreate in Casey. Casey, with a total of 22 active land projects is now the most expensive land market in Melbourne with a median land price of $295,000. The average lot size is 448 square metres.
The median price in Clyde - Clyde North rest only marginally below this at around $290,000 - up from around $240,000 some 12 months ago. The median lot size is around 435 square metres. All things being equal, this, combined with recent amendments to the first home buyers grant and stamp duty, should underpin activity over the near term in the City of Casey. Andrew Perkins is general manager research and business development for Red23, a specialist marketing, sales and research partner for residential development businesses.

VILLAGE DISPLAY OF THE FUTURE ONE of Melbourne’s largest display home villages offering people the chance to explore 53 different homes from 22 builders is set to open at Berwick Waters in a joint development by Frasers Property Australia and Mondous Property Australia. Around two-thirds of the display homes are already open for inspection and an official launch of the impressive village is planned for Sunday 2 April with a special family event. Sarah Bloom, General Manager Residential Victoria at Frasers Property Australia, said the Berwick Waters display village was a perfect way for home buyers to experience a wide range of options in one spot. “The new display village is a one-stop shop for the latest innovations in-house design. “With 22 builders represented, buyers have a great chance to find something that’s perfect for their family’s lifestyle,” Ms Bloom said. “The size and scale of the new village underline Frasers Property’s confidence in the Victorian housing market and the confidence we have in the builders which contribute to our communities. “It’s a great opportunity for builders to showcase their home designs and for people to get a sense of what their future home might look and feel like,” she said. Henley will have a major presence
First home buyers Rachana Malagi and Charan Shah at Berwick Waters. in the Berwick Waters village with nine display homes. Henley general manager Justin McDean said Berwick Waters’ location within a major growth corridor was attractive to a diverse range of buyers. “Berwick Waters has excellent access to the Monash Freeway and Clyde Road so it’s very easy to visit and its outstanding amenities and a beautiful natural landscape make it a perfect location for our new World of Homes display village,”
he said. Launched in 2011, Berwick Waters is already well established with more than 500 homes built around a picturesque meandering water course that is teeming with birdlife. Large blocks, lots of nearby educational and employment opportunities and extensive open space, bike paths, walking trails and playgrounds are just some of the reasons buyers choose Berwick Waters. Lots in Berwick Waters vary in size
picturesque parkside views. With record sales, Belmond on Clyde has fast become one of the most popular residential communities in Clyde and is releasing the final stages in this soughtafter address. “When we launched Belmond in 2015 we expected the project to be developed over a four to five year period,” said Marketing Manager Sally Steinkrug. “Delivering the central Hilltop Park prior to residents moving in and working closely with our construction teams to ensure timely delivery of titles has allowed the community to develop rather quickly. “With strong market demand Belmond will sell out two years ahead of schedule,”
she said Construction works are well progressed with 10 stages now under construction with registration of titles all due in 2017. The final stages currently for sale will commence construction in April/May and it is anticipated that these will also be titled by the end of the year. While sales are very strong, there are still a limited number of blocks available. The last land release is expected to be released in early April and once they are gone there will be no more. For more information or to register interest visit belmondonclyde.com.au or call Domenic on 1800 Belmond.
BELMOND IS A POPULAR PLACE BELMOND on Clyde is a unique development of 600 residential allotments located in the in-demand suburb of Clyde. Its unique size and location has proven popular with buyers who are seeking an exclusive sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the everyday, while still enjoying easy access to local shops, schools, sports and recreation facilities such as Casey Fields and much more. Developed by Newland, Belmond is nestled among undulating hills and boasts 3.7 hectares of open space, including the million dollar Hilltop Park, which was completed last year. With a flurry of home construction underway, families already living at Belmond are making great use of the park which features several age-appropriate play spaces and a flying fox, kick space, barbecue facilities plus a plethora of shady spots to sit back and relax with a good book. The prestigious Parkside Grange release is now selling and offers the largest blocks in the corridor. With blocks on offer up to an impressive 1251 square metres, these 12 exclusive blocks are the last release opposite the Hilltop Park and offer
from 400 to 661 square metres and are priced from $295,000 to $460,000. The new display village is on Springbrook Drive, located off Honour Avenue, opposite Arbourlea Boulevard. The Berwick Waters sales office is next to the display village and is open daily from 11am to 5pm. Call 13 38 38 or visit www. berwickwaters.com.au for more information.

AND THERE WAS LIGHT LET there be light was the instruction to Louis Chiodo Architects when the firm was commissioned to design four stunning homes in Keysborough’s Sarah Lands Estate. The impressive end result - four sleek, modern homes - all go under the hammer on 22 April. Light floods each of the four homes, accentuated by 2.7 metre high ceilings and large windows inviting views in all directions. Visitors can step through the front entrance of each home and be surprised by the spaciousness of the open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Each home is designed slightly differently to take advantage of the orientation of the block, however they all possess similar functional floor plans and stunning inclusions. The kitchens have grey Caesarstone bench tops, waterfall ends to the kitchen islands, walk-in pantries, glass splashbacks and 900mm stainless steel under bench oven and gas cook tops. Stunning black pendant lights hang above the island benches giving the kitchens a sophisticated finish. Pale wood stairs, under which is tucked a discreet powder room, lead to the second storey which boasts a second living space and three bedrooms. The bedrooms all have mirror-finish built-in wardrobes and large windows offering views of the surrounding estate, while the master bedroom has a spacious en suite. Both the en suite and master bathroom boast floor-to-ceiling tiles, Caesarstone bench tops and luxury toilet and tapware. Peter Nicolls, director of KR Peters, the firm marketing the four homes, said the lucky buyers can move straight and make themselves at home thanks to an extensive list of inclusions. The properties are fenced and landscaped. The exposed aggregate paving to the driveway, paths and outdoor courtyards are all completed. Each has a double, lock-up garage, video intercom, security alarm and ducted vacuum system. There is evaporative cooling to the first floor and wall hung split system on the ground floor. “These are ideal for people who want quality, but also want something that isn’t too big,” said Mr Nicolls. “When people view these properties they will see how much light comes into

the homes. “The architect has done a brilliant job creating designs that take advantage of the way the blocks face and capturing all the light possible.”

MAT SUCKLING DIRECTOR OF RMS HOMES To all of you who have scrolled your eyes past this piece - welcome and hello! My name is Mat Suckling, managing director of RMS Homes. We provide premium turn key homes for first home buyers, and assist with all your finance needs. At RMS Homes, we saw an opportunity to provide flexibility and transparency not often afforded to first home buyers. For whatever reason and for too long, first home buyers have been left to wade through the murky waters of purchasing a home, sometimes without totally understanding what is on offer in
their home. Then, to their shock, they find they cannot make a single change to their home design - and end up with a house rather than their home. Thanks to the Star News Group, each fortnight I will provide an information piece assisting first home buyers whether that be external government policies (stamp duty elimination and an increase in the First Home Owners Grant for regional buyers), finance information or general buying information so that you have more knowledge and power when making your decision on what to buy, and importantly who to build with. I am excited to share my knowledge with you and together we can give our friends and family continued guidance for what is considered a daunting task - but is made so much easier by communication and information. Thanking you for your time!

Settle into a cabin at Tambo River Tourist Park.
Unwind with a holiday at Tambo River Tourist Park.
Take a great break on Tambo The Tambo River Tourist Park at Swan Reach is a great place to spend a short break. The past few months have seen many visitors finding what staff and regulars already know - the area has so much to offer. Visitors can enjoy scenic drives, visiting the local wineries or fresh fruit farms, cycling the rail trail or taking a bike ride to Metung for coffee. The bush is beautiful and there are
many roads to explore, and the possibility of finding ruins of old quarries, mills or machinery left behind from days gone by is always there. The river is perfect for kayaks and boats, and fishing is always a popular pastime. There are plenty of places to enjoy fishing from the bank so a boat is not necessary to hook the best catches. The past year has seen a great increase in the number of overnight stays
in caravans and campers. Tambo River offers powered and unpowered sites. Waste disposal is available at all sites and the usual laundry, camp kitchen and barbecue facilities are on hand. As more and more travellers are enjoying extended trips with their ‘best friends’ Tambo River is pleased to welcome pets to the park. Some restrictions do apply regarding pets at Christmas and Easter. The park also offers comfortable

Explore the scientific principles behind music, light, force and motion at the Antarctic Journey. From Saturday 1 April, the Antarctic Journey at the Nobbies, Phillip Island, will play host to a range of fascinating and interactive scientific experiences as part of the Science on the Move travelling exhibition, created by Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre in Canberra. Science on the Move is a collection of 23 exhibits and 35 hands-on experiences that will engage both the mind and body in all things science. “Science on the Move lets visitors discover concepts such as electricity, magnetism and human senses in a fun, interactive way,” said education coordinator Kim Dunstan. Visitors can experiment with sound by hitting pipes of varying lengths with a rubber thong to play a tune, or make music using a row of bottles filled with different volumes of water and air, to produce different pitched sounds. Science on the Move explores key themes such as physics and biology. Visitors can determine the balance point of different shaped rods and everyday items like a broom, or lift blocks to gauge how heavy the blocks would feel on other planets in the Solar System. With a range of puzzles, visitors can also showcase their problem solving skills as they try to balance six loose sticks in mid-air on top of an upright stick, and working with space to manoeuvre four identical spaces into three. “We are really excited to host the Science on the Move exhibition and look forward to seeing the community enjoy all of the activities on offer,” Kim said. Suitable for ages eight and up, but with topics of varying complexity, Science on the Move will engage all ages about the wonders of science. Science on the Move will be open between 10am and 4pm from Saturday 1 April to Sunday 16 April. Admission is included with either a 4 Parks Pass or an Antarctic Journey entry ticket. For further information contact Phillip Island Nature Parks at info@penguins.org.au or phone 5951 2800 or check out www.penguins.org.au.

Fresh bite has real ap-peel By Cam Lucadou-Wells There’s a simple recipe for what makes a perfect apple. According to orchard owner Ray Montague the ideal variety has crunch, flavour and sweetness. His Narre Warren North-based company Montague Fresh recently unveiled a new variety of early-season apple, the Smitten, which measures up to all his key criteria. In the late 1990s, new varieties such as the Fuji, pink lady and royal gala landed on the market and heralded a “changing world”, Mr Montague said. The public taste turned away from lesser eating-quality fruit such as red delicious, Mr Montague said. “The new apples are sweet, crisper, harder and live out on the kitchen bench for a while. “Our challenge is to continue to titillate the palate of the consumer. The consumer gets quickly bored.” The Montagues have scoured the world’s breeding programs for new varieties, buying up New Zealand’s Jazz and Envy in recent years. Mr Montague said that up to 2000 new strains of apple came out of the
world’s 80 or so breeding programs each year. Of those, there is perhaps one new apple of five-star quality to discover. “We know what we’re looking for,” he said. Six years ago he was taken with the flavoursome breed called Smitten - a blend of Gala, Braeburn, Falstaff and Fiesta varieties. It has since been planted in Victorian orchards supplying Montague. The breed is a medium-sized apple with extremely high consistency and firmness, Mr Montague said. “It’s an easy apple to eat. With a Smitten, you can eat another one and then another one. “There are lovely juices in it.” Ray’s father, Bill, first sprouted the business in the lush Narre Warren North hills in 1948 with little idea on how to grow apples. However, with sound advice and an innovative bent, he travelled and was the first to bring international technologies such as natural waxing into Australia. Side by side, Montague also ran a thriving cold-storage business for fruits and other goods such as cheeses.
Montague Fresh owners Ray and Suzy Montague with the new-variety apple, the Smitten. The 80 hectare apple orchards branched into others in Harcourt in Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales as well as plantations of stone fruit like plums, peaches and apricots. Montague went truly national when it started supplying supermarket chains
such as Woolworths and Coles. The next chapter is a proposed $40 million national packhouse and import-export distribution hub for apples and stone fruit in Narre Warren North within three years. Mr Montague said the hub is re-
quired to help make the fruit industry more efficient and internationally competitive. “Australia has been a poor exporter of apples to the world. “We’re an expensive country so you’ve got to pick your niche markets.” Last year, Montague shipped off 50 containers of pink lady to Holland and the UK. It hopes to be a significant exporter of nectarines and plums into China. “China is not a given,” Mr Montague said. “It’s hard work. They demand extremely good fruit.” The venture also has vast tourist potential as a stopping point between Melbourne and Gippsland or Phillip Island, Mr Montague said. The tourism experience could include tours of the orchards and facilities, fruit tasting and learning how fruit is grown. Members of state and federal governments have expressed support for the hub, with planning approval already granted by Yarra Ranges Council, he said.“It’s a bloody big risk,” Mr Montague said. “But it’s about having a go.”

Narre kids revel in the right department for working life Narre Warren students have taken a first-hand look at the “world of work” inside the Victorian employment department. The Fountain Gate Secondary College students visit was part of non-profit group Doxa’s University Pathways Program which targets students in “disadvantaged” outer-Melbourne areas to help them get into the
job market. The visit to Melbourne’s CBD included a workshop as well as a tour of the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources. Doxa chief executive Stephen Silk said students gained insight into the government workforce and life after high
school. “The program allows participating students to begin to explore the world of work. “The workshop also allows students to gain confidence in their personal and communication skills to help them realise their potential and achieve personal greatness.”

Hoop dreams for Sudanese By Cam Lucadou-Wells An inaugural ‘March Madness’ tournament between 70 young South Sudanese basketballers left nothing on the 24/7 HOOPS court at Dandenong on 25 March. Eight teams - including three local Red Roo teams which draw players from Melbourne’s southeast, east and the La Trobe Valley - took part. As is the tradition at similar national comps, Red Roo - organised by Dandenong-based businessman James Kerr - emerged victorious. Red Roo assistant coach Wicthiel King said the tournament was based on the March Madness Tournament involving all the NCAA Division One basketball teams in the US. “We thought it would be a great idea to run the same tournament here in Australia since most of our guys and a lot of the young people ... want to play college basketball in the US.” Mr King said the tournament also filled a gap in the calendar between the South Sudanese Summer

Slam in December and the National Classic competition in July. “I always wanted to run a small tournament in the south-eastern suburbs but just never had the resources and someone to believe in it. “It brings the South Sudanese community together and gives these young people something to do during that waiting period.”
Many of the Red Roo players are prepared for SAT tests in May as part of winning a US college basketball scholarship. Mr Kerr, who has devoted hours of time and his own money to educating, feeding and supporting the Red Roo players, believes the players are talented enough to succeed. He says the players will have to study hard to pass the SAT - a gen-
eral English and maths exam that is equivalent to VCE. “They’re going to be doubly smart - taking on the VCE and the SAT at the same time. “They’re going to be smart kids, nice smart athletes - that’s what I want them to be.” Mr Kerr is seeking to liaise with Greater Dandenong Council and Victoria Police.

From early April 2017, upgrade works will begin at the Essex Park Retarding Basin in Endeavour Hills. The embankment needs to be upgraded to ensure the retarding basin continues to operate safely. Work is expected to take up to four months to complete, weather permitting. A section of the footpath leading east from Sydney Pargeter Recreation Area will be closed within for the duration of the works. An alternative footpath will be instated around the work zone for pedestrians. Some vegetation removal is required as part of this project. The embankment will be reinstated with topsoil and a grass seed mix after the works are completed. During the project you may notice an increase in traffic in the work area, including large trucks, as well as construction related noise, dust and vibration. Work will take place Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm and Saturday from 7am to 1pm. Neighbouring residents will be notified if we need to work outside of these hours. We apologise for any inconvenience the upgrade may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding while we undertake these essential works.

Samantha aims to inspire all women By Nick Creely
Samantha Bond at last year's Melbourne Marathon. 166545
“Once you exercise you never regret it.” That’s the very simple yet inspiring message from Pakenham mum and personal trainer Samantha Bond. The 32-year-old marathon runner has become a face of change in women’s fitness in Australia, helping motivate thousands of busy mum’s - and all women - make a positive change and make exercise a priority. She has been selected as one of 12 women in Australia to be an ambassador for the Running Divas, an online women’s fitness and health community that provides training, support, guidance to women who are looking to achieve their fitness and health goals. “It’s basically a women’s running community, and it's Australia wide - they offer nutritional advice and programs for anyone who has never run before or for people running ultra-marathons,” she explained.
“They have social media and training programs in order to sort of support women to get out and run - basically I am representing a brand for events coming up and helping out on the Facebook page and motivating women who are involved in the Running Divas.” As a working mum of a young child, Samantha understands why exercise can sometimes be forgotten, but said that strategies can ensure that it becomes a normalised part of life. “I have got a near two-year-old son, Rhett I definitely know what it’s like for women who have young children and how busy life can be - I just schedule my exercise as appointments, just like I’d do with work meetings or other appointments,” she said. “I try and tell people to just give it a go and get out there for 15 minutes - even if you haven’t done it ever before just give it a go, and try and make it a regular practice - you will see great results physically and mentally.
“Exercise gives you a great release and the mental side of things is a major focus for the Running Divas. “We do focus on people 18+ primarily, but across the board there’s a range of different ages which is great - some have been running for years and some are just beginning - it’s just a great running community.” Although she helps inspire women to get out and run, she will also be representing the Running Divas on a personal level, with a busy 2017 scheduled. “I did the Melbourne Marathon last year which was just such an amazing experience, so this year I’ll be doing the Run for Kids on 9 April, the Run Melbourne and then the Melbourne Marathon again in October,” she explained. For more information on how to get involved, visit the Running Divas Facebook page or visit runningdivas.com.au
Daniel stars in grand final outing to remember By Nick Creely DDCA TURF 1 GRAND FINAL REVIEW Mordialloc can lay claim to being the most dominant Turf 1 side of the last decade, after downing Heinz-Southern Districts to hold their hands on their second piece of silverware in three years. And it took one of the most special individual performances in Turf 1 history from Ian Daniel to achieve it, with the Bloodhounds all-rounder dominating proceedings. With the first ever stand-alone grand final in the association’s history, crowds flocked to Arch Brown Reserve in Berwick to see history in the making. Mordialloc elected to bat on a belter of a deck that had a little bit for both batsman and bowler, and from the outset it was obvious runs were gold, and that anything over 200 would be difficult to chase. Daniel, who has played some destructive knocks throughout the season, was on-song early with some piercing stroke-play, and raced away early to set the tone for the Bloodhounds. But when he was dismissed for a glorious 62, which included two massive sixes, the score was 3/81, such was his dominance. This lifted the tails of the Cobras’ bowlers, led by the swinging dynamo Kaushyla Weeraratne (3/61) and the ever slick Michael Davies (2/39), who then wrestled back control over the contest to leave the Bloodhounds at 6/129. Stuart Squires (54) then proceeded to play a true captain’s knock, despite the dominos regularly falling behind him, grinding out some testing periods to lift his side to a highly competitive 220, with the last wicket falling on the last over of the day’s play. Hari Krishan (26) was also amongst
the runs for the Bloodhounds, belting two sixes off Chadwick Van Estrop in quick succession. On the final day of the 2016/17 season, the Cobras were locked in an almighty battle, grinding out the first half-hour, with Squires and Chathura Athukorala steaming in and hitting relentlessly good lines. At the first drinks-break on day two, the Cobras were 1/22 off 15 overs, Adam Semmens back in the sheds after being trapped LBW by Daniel, needing a strong partnership to get back into the contest. Brad Downe and Rob Davies then set about building a partnership, reaching 1/40 off 33 overs heading into the lunch break. But it all fell apart after lunch as soon as Daniel got his hands on the leather. He then shredded the middle-order in brutal fashion, snaring the key trio Matt Cox (3), Kaushyla Weeraratne (3) and Michael Davies (0) in a matter of minutes, leaving the Cobras hanging by a thread at 5/58, before dismissing Shehan Bandaranyake (3) almost instantly to leave them six down. Brodie Yapp (24) and Rob Davies (53) desperately tried to get them back into the contest, fighting resolutely before Stuart Squires (1/33) broke through to remove Yapp. At 7/92 there was only the slightest bit of hope left - until the sight of Daniel streaming in ended it. He took out the stumps of Trevor Davies (4) to leave them 7/101, a brief period of resistance ensured the Cobras would then reach 7/138, before Chathura Athukorala (1/22) snared Rob Davies and then instantly Daniel skittled Chadwick Van Estrop’s stumps to cap off a memorable day. Daniel finished with the astonishing figures of 8/43 off 27.2 overs, and a total of 15 wickets and 68 runs across two finals.
Chathura Athukorala, left, and Stuart Squires take off for a run. 166486 Picture: ROB CAREW It mirrored and probably outshadowed some of the legendary grand final performances of the past, such as Cam Dinger’s 6/44 in the second innings of the 2015/16 decider, Yoshan Kumara’s 9/60 in a losing cause in 2013/14, and Daniel Watson’s whirlwind 188 not out in 2012/13. He was duly awarded the Man of the Match, in a performance that needed to be seen to be believed.

Tough opening night crowd FFV - State Leagues REVIEW - Round 1 State League 1 - South-East Casey Comets lost out in a tough opening season match against a battling Mornington team in front of a record crowd at Comets Stadium last Friday night. After a tough opening 20 minutes, the Casey team thought they had weathered the storm, but a goal out of nothing from Craig Smart in the 26th minute changed the momentum. From about 40 metres out, he lobbed a ball into the Casey box which just sneaked in under the crossbar to put the reigning champions 1-0 up. Any chance of a comeback was squashed in the opening minute of the second half, when after a clever move down the right flank it was knocked into the edge of the box where Ryan Paczkowski turned his defender and buried it past Faraz Zenoozi in the Casey goal. Casey brought on new recruit Allando Matheson and moved into a more attacking mode and despite creating a few chances which fell to Matheson, they could not score a goal to get back into the game. Despite being in the losing team, Adam Dunsford won the Mornington Mercedes Player award on the night. Next week sees the Comets at home again on Friday night against one of the league favourites Malvern City. Reserves start at 6.30pm and Seniors at 8.30pm. State League 2 - South-East Fierce local soccer rivals Berwick City and Doveton faced up for the sea-
Orlando Mejias from Berwick City heads towards goals in the final minutes of their clash with Doveton. 166493
Picture: ROB CAREW
son opener of State League 2 South East on Saturday afternoon. Both teams recruited heavily during the off season, starting with new head coaches who both took charge of their own senior team for the first time. Former Doveton player Tony Saun-
ders Jnr has taken over at his old club while Berwick City appointed previous Dandenong City assistant Gerry McDonagh. To add spice to the contest, former Doveton captain Gary Davidson lined up against his old team after making the move to Berwick during the pre-season.
In a tight contest, it was Berwick who struck first through new recruit Ruben Ichim who got through the Doveton defence and calmly slotted the ball past Doveton keeper Stuart Webster to make it 1-0 going into the break. The second half was a more open
contest with chances at both ends. With five minutes to go in the game, Berwick skipper Orlando Mejias produced a great solo effort to kill off Doveton’s hopes and give his team an important 2-0 win. Berwick City coach McDonagh was pleased with the result and said that it may take more time for his squad to fully gel. “We have a very new squad with only three players out of our 16 today who were with the club last year, so we are still getting used to each other,” he said. “We didn’t play that well, but it was understandable as it was the first game of the season and a local derby as well. "It was naturally a very physical and intense game and we made it hard for ourselves by missing some easy chances, and it was always going to come down to players taking their opportunities.” Next week Doveton are at home against Doncaster while Berwick travel away to take on Peninsula Strikers. State League 5 - South Pakenham United have started their season in incredible fashion, annihilating Drouin 8-0 in their clash at IYU Recreation Reserve on Saturday. Keegan Bloomfield, Nawrooz Khademi and Liri Merinica all scored two goals apiece in the dominant display. In other matches, the Casey Panthers have defeated Chelsea FC 2-1, while Bunyip District have lost their first state-league match 1-4 to Rowville Eagles SC.

By Nick Creely Cranbourne and Dandenong District legend Steve Spoljaric has claimed his fifth Alan Wookey Medal for the Turf 1 top-player, narrowly pipping his teammate Matt Chasemore and Berwick all-rounder Jarrod Armitage for the DDCA's top gong on Wednesday 22 March’s presentation evening. The 40-year-old superstar continued on his stunning career in 2016/17, scoring 681 runs at 85.1, including three centuries and a further 25 wickets with the ball. In what was an entertaining and somewhat bizarre acceptance speech, Spoljaric said that individual accolades mean nothing compared to the feeling of winning a premiership. “You don’t play for these things - last year’s grand final, that’s the fun part, the best part, and that’s with no disrespect to the umpires - the grand final we played last year, that was the highlight for me,” he said. Spoljaric described his training regime, or lack of, to the packed crowd. “Well, I live in Sale - it’s two hours away - to be honest with you, and this is just for a laugh, that Dandy West game (153 runs) was the first time I picked up a bat since last year’s grand final - that’s fair dinkum,” he said. But it could be the last time Spoljaric struts his stuff on the DDCA stage, with his involvements with greyhound racing becoming a major focal point in his life. “I’m not really sure - greyhounds are a priority, though, it’s quite busy preparing them all I’ve never liked hard work and finally I actually have to do some, I am 40. “We’ll see what happens.” In what was one of the most interesting parts of his speech, Spoljaric was asked whether it was harder to prepare for a dog than it is to prepare for cricket. “Dogs don’t talk to you, they just do as they’re told,” he said. Spoljaric put his success down to sensing moments, and simplifying the parts of the game so

Demons show form By Nick Creely CASEY DEMONS 2017 SEASON PREVIEW AFL ALIGNMENT: Melbourne HOME GROUND: Casey Fields, Cranbourne LAST PREMIERSHIP: 1999 2016 FINISH: Runners-up to Footscray 2016 BEST & FAIREST: Jack Hutchins COACH: Justin Plapp (third year) CAPTAIN: Jack Hutchins INS: Dan Allsop, Tommy Glen, Mitch Lewis, Lachlan Gill-Renouf (Dandenong Stingrays), Trent Armour, Kieran Byers, Jai Rout, Keenan Hughes, Ethan East (Gippsland Power), Nathan Foote, Nathan Gardiner (Frankston), Mitch Gent, Ben Giobbi (Noble Park), Liam Hiscock, Yillber Zijai (Sandringham), Goy Lok (Sandringham Dragons), Gach Nyuon (Essendon VFL). OUTS: Yarran Jaffer-Williams (Port Melbourne), Declan Keilty (Melbourne AFL), Oscar McInerney (Brisbane AFL), Paul Pattison, Bryce Rutherford, Tim Smith (Melbourne AFL), Kody Wilson. PRE-SEASON: The Demons have had an excellent pre-season, showcasing some impressive form throughout their practice matches. Kick-starting their pre-season campaign against AFL Northern Territory on 3 March at Casey Fields, the Dees then played an intra-club before defeating Port Melbourne by 44-points on 19 March and belting Williamstown by 36-points a week later. The Dees still have a couple of practice matches against Box Hill and Werribee still to come. PLAYERS TO WATCH: Tough-nosed midfielder and former player Mitch Gent will return to the
Angus Scott looms as a key player for the Dees this season. 157134 Picture: ROB CAREW club and should have an instant impact in the engine room. Back in 2015 he played 19 matches in the VFL, and was named among the best on several occasions. Young defender Liam Hiscock is exciting and likely to be given some senior opportunities after crossing over from the Zebras, while Jimmy Munro looks set to build upon a strong 2016 season, and could be given extra responsibility this season. Reliable skipper and reigning club-champion Jack Hutchins will need to be at his best to keep the Demons on the higher ends of the ladder. Angus Scott was one of the club’s biggest improvers throughout 2016 and is one of the most dangerous players on their list.
COMMENTS: Whichever way you look at it, the Demons were clearly the benchmark side throughout a brilliant 2016 season. But at the final hurdle, they were unable to deliver against Footscray, a club that eventually prevailed in unseen and fairy-tale like circumstances in the AFL as well. The club has further strengthened its ties with Melbourne, changing its name, its logo and essentially its identity to take the next step in their journey. Last season the Demons relied far too heavily on the injection of their AFL-listed players, but as the Demons get stronger in the AFL, it’s likely they
will have a major say in the team’s wares for 2017. The loss of Oscar McInerney leaves a gaping hole, while a bunch of delisted or traded AFL players such as Lynden Dunn, Viv Michie, Chris Dawes, Dean Terlich, Matt Jones and Jack Grimes will not turn out for the Dees after being delisted from the AFL side. But the club has been able to identify this issue, and have made significant inroads in securing the future of the club. A heavy influx of TAC Cup recruits are noticeable, with Tommy Glen from the Stingrays among the graduates expected to make a successful plunge into the VFL. They have also added significant midfield depth with former midfielder Mitch Gent returning to the club after a stint with Noble Park, while fellow Bull and highly-touted youngster Ben Giobbi will have a crack at VFL. In terms of coaches, there are few better and more credentialed than Justin Plapp. A highly rated operator and tactician, he will also coach the VFL state side in 2017. There is definitely enough talent on their list to push for a finals spot, but the likely injection of players such as Sam Frost, Jake Spencer, James Harmes, Jack Trengove, Dean Kent, Tim Smith and Declan Keilty from the AFL squad, who are likely to spend larger chunks of the season in the VFL, should push them into a strong position. Players such as Mitch Cox, Aloysio Ferreira, Dylan Gordon and Todd Vander Haar enter their second VFL seasons and are expected to take the next step. ROUND 1: Casey v Williamstown, Monday 17 April at Burbank Oval. PREDICTED FINISH: 5th
Rays fight off Power’s surge By Nick Creely TAC CUP REVIEW - ROUND 1 A powerful first-quarter has seen the Dandenong Stingrays overcome a late Gippsland Power surge at Morwell Recreation Reserve on Saturday. With both sides featuring a glittering of new and exciting young talent, it was the Stingrays that looked the goods early, spreading the Power with some impressive passages of play. Last year’s minor-premiers were full of run early, showcasing some impressive skill along the wings. It all came down to work-rate for both sides, with the Rays peppering the attacking-50 and utilising their abundance of tall forwards, and took a vital 17-point lead into quarter time. And just when it looked like the Power were climbing back into the contest via some impressive goals by youngster Will Broadbent, the Rays flexed their muscle and eventually climbed out to a 33-point lead at the major break. With temperatures soaring on a hot day in Gippsland, fatigue began to set in for both sides, with players cramping left right and centre, as the game became more of a battle of attrition. The Power then worked their way back into the contest through a duo of goals from Will Stephenson, while the class of Sean Masterson began to shine through in defence with some strong intercept marks. Heading into the last term, the Rays held a relatively safe 25-point lead, and just needed an early goal to seal the deal. But if there was any sneaky hope of a shock win for the Power, it was quick-
ly evaporated when young gun Dylan Morris kicked two impressive goals within five minutes of the last quarter to stretch the lead out to 38-points. Taking their foot off the gas, the Power then kicked the last four goals of the contest to bring the margin back to 14-points with minutes to go, before the Rays iced the clock with some of their most experienced leaders. There was plenty to like for the Rays, with Dylan Morris excellent in attack with four majors, Tom De Koning was a constant threat throughout, while their balanced midfield group took the honours and worked the Power over. For the Power, Travis Bindley and Sean Masterson started their season off on the right foot with strong displays, while Will Stephenson and Irving Mosquito were constants threats in attack. Stingrays coach Craig Black was thrilled with his side’s intent, particularly early, and said that it was important to start the game and make sure they stay ahead of the contest. “The way we approached the game was really good, our pressure and tackling was exceptional,” he said. “You always want to start well and not chasing the opposition, so the major focus was starting well and we were lucky enough to do that and then hold on. Black said that it was obvious there was some usual rustiness from both sides, but anticipates they will be better for the run. “I thought we were solid but gave up a few goals late which wasn’t ideal, just poor decisions but that’s something we can just work on,” he said. “Our pressure around the ball was great, but if we can eliminate little mis-
Strong leadership at Stingrays By Nick Creely Glittered with talent, the Dandenong Stingrays must have had their hands full selecting the leadership group that will lead them into the 2017 season. There must have been up to 15 genuine candidates that could lay claim to be a leader. And it’s come down to seven young men, all talented in their own right, who will get a crack at leading an exciting TAC Cup squad. The Rays have elected Josh Bateman and Oscar Clavarino as dual captains for the season, with both players strong leaders and key players for 2017. Clavarino, 18, from Berwick, is a highly-touted youngster sure to be on AFL radars come draft time, while Bateman, 18, from Langwarrin, is seen as a natural leader who is destined to flourish in an elite environment. The club has gone for key-forward Tom De Koning and Hunter Clark as the vice-captains - both are AFL Academy members who have experiences and dealings with AFL clubs. The rest of the leadership group comprises youngsters Luke DaviesUniacke, an Academy member, Lachie Young, a talented youngster from Mt Eliza, and Tom Murphy from Somerville. In what is a well-rounded squad in 2017, several gun youngsters such as Mason De Wit, Bailey Morrish, Aiden Bonar and Reece Piper have all missed out on leadership positions, such is the depth within Craig Black’s arsenal. The Stingrays are well known to produce quality leaders and footballers, with ten members of the 2016 Stingrays already going on to sign with VFL clubs. The Rays kicked off their season with a clash against Gippsland Power on 25 March.

Big V State Championships Review - Round 2 The Casey Cavaliers have lost their first game of the season, falling to an impressive Diamond Valley on the rebound after a horror first round. The match played at Diamond Valley Sports Centre on Saturday night was relatively close throughout, before the Eagles pulled away with some impressive three-point shooting. Debutant Raanthony Sanders (24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists) was a dominant force for the Eagles, while for the Cavs, Brandon Polk (17 points and 11 rebounds) did his best to keep his side in the contest, but simply did not have enough team-mates providing support. The loss leaves the Cavs 1-1 after the first couple of matches and occupying eighth spot, and will need to bounce back quickly against the McKinnon Cougars this Saturday night. The Cavs’ Division One Women’s side fell in disappointing fashion 76-62 to the Chelsea Gulls over the weekend, and remain winless heading into the next round.
