Invasion capital By Cam Lucadou-Wells

In the latest police figures, assaults - up 21 per cent, burglaries - up 32 per cent, and thefts - up 18 per cent soared significantly in 2016. Acting Supt Humphrey said the police’s “pro-active burglary investigation teams” operated in areas of known burglaries, but still many occurred due to home’s doors and windows being left unlocked. The exploding crime rate was also partly attributed to Casey’s soaring population.

Crime victim Andrew Hartley and his family have moved out of their Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Berwick home. 163252 “Areas that were open paddocks just a few years ago are now full of houses and as the population increases unfortunately so does the opportunity for crimes to be committed.” Acting Supt Humphrey said there was no update on extra police numbers in Casey, as part of the State Government’s pledged 2729 more police over four years. Andrew Hartley and his family were sleeping as a group of burglars

intruded and took his wife’s car keys and handbag from their Berwick home in August. Weeks later, he organised a 400-strong public forum on the homeinvasion spate, with tips on home security. “Short of the laws changing, I don’t know how to stop it,” Mr Hartley said. “These kids get away with too much, even though the police do what they can.”

KEEPING BURGLARS AT BAY Install good quality locks on doors and windows. Lock all windows and doors, even when you’re at home unlocked side and rear doors are the most common entry points for burglars. Remove valuable items from plain sight - particularly car keys, wallets and cash. Make your house look occupied at all times. For example, ask a neighbour to bring in your mail and bins if you’re away for a while. Report suspicious behaviour to police immediately via triple-zero (000). Source: Victoria Police

Casey has been confirmed the homeinvasion capital of Victoria for 2016, according to official crime statistics. But Victoria Police, emboldened by a dent in crime rates in recent months, say “the worst is behind us“. In 2016, there were 370 aggravated burglaries in Casey - more than one a day and comfortably the highest of any municipality in Melbourne - according to statistics reported on Nine News. It was nearly double the total of 199 aggravated burglaries in 2015. Acting Superintendent Simon Humphrey, who oversees Victoria Police south-east region, said police had been “working harder than ever” in arresting twice as many home-invasion offenders in 2016 compared to 2014. “Over the last four or five months, overall crime rates have been reducing, and while we acknowledge we still have a lot of work to do, we feel that the worst is behind us.” Act Supt Humphrey said the “predominantly youth networked” offenders responsible for most of the home invasions were being targeted by the police’s Southern Metro Regional Crime Team. More of those arrested were also being remanded in custody, Acting Supt Humphrey said. The Southern Metro Regional Crime Team undertook “proactive policing in high risk areas” and “managing persons of interest” as well as working with counterparts in other regions of Melbourne. “We aren’t just trying to react to the crime when it occurs - we have a range of initiatives underway to try and get on top of it before it occurs. “Outside of policing the problem, we are engaging with the community and stakeholders on what we can do to stop these young people offending in the first place.”

The traumatised family have since moved to a “quiet street - at the end of a court and up a hill”. Rick Maaskant, who was stabbed with a pitchfork by intruders in his Hampton Park home in March, says the current law-and-order approach isn’t working. He has been burgled six times, had five cars, his wallet and TV remote stolen. “If you can’t do anything about it after six burglaries, what makes you think you’d be safe after eight or 20? “It’s a vicious cycle. They go to jail for three months, spend time with their mates and have a whale of a time. “Then they get out and it all starts again.” His solution is to fly out offenders and “drop them in the ocean”. “They could have easily killed me. They could have killed a lot of people. They steal cars and burn cars. “They have no respect for any of us. Why should we be so respectful of them?”

Brenda’s bucket list: one last trip By Cam Lucadou-Wells Brenda Smyth is hoping for one last ‘trip of a lifetime’. In a race against time, the terminally-ill Narre Warren South resident and her daughters are frantically crowd-funding to retrace a memorable family holiday they shared in the US many years ago. “It would mean everything to go with my girls on one last trip,” Ms Smyth said as she hugged her pet, and close companion, Gavin. But sadly their window is tight. Ms Smyth faces a short and very painful battle after a shock cancer diagnosis on 18 March. She was given a prognosis of between four to six months and no hope of treatment for the aggressive cancer that had spread to her liver, bones and lungs. There is perhaps just weeks to enjoy a hastily-organised holiday before Ms Smyth will be too sick to travel. The trip is a brainchild and parting gift from Ms Smyth’s dear daughters Sheree and Selina. It’s something for the grieving family to look forward to, Sheree says. “We had planned to go back towards the end of the year, but with everything that’s happened, we can’t go then. “We don’t have the funds to go as soon as possible. It’s one of the things that Mum was most upset about.” The proposed itinerary is much the same as their holiday in California in 2014.

The three women would head back to Disneyland - where the girls and mum had hammed it up in Halloween hats and trick-or-treated on their last trip. “We’d like to go back to Disneyland, take photos with the characters and do this child-like fantasy stuff,” Sheree said. “It’ll be something other than pain and illness.” Another stop would be Ms Smyth’s favourite trinket shop Bonanzas in Las Vegas. And high on the bucket list is Venice Beach and its markets - which was unfortunately skipped on the last trip. There’s the chance to re-sample American snack-food Cheetos Puffs, and to catch up with a friend Ms Smyth met on the last trip - ‘Moochie’ in San Francisco. It will be a reminder of happier days, says daughter Sheree. Such as when the neighbourhood kids would run through the kitchen to grab Ms Smyth’s freshly-baked butterfly cakes and eclairs. The family hopes to raise $10,000 on its GoFundMe campaign page to cover flights, car hire, Disneyland and two weeks’ accommodation. Sheree wrote on the page: “It would mean the world to the whole family, but especially to her, to be able to go on her dream trip and create special memories with her daughters.” To donate, go to https://www.gofundme.com/brendas-dream-trip-toamerica

China crew jetsets out By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Former Casey councillor Gary Rowe replaces Cr Steve Beardon. 166911

Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

Rowe’s back on council Former Casey councillor Gary Rowe has been reinstated to the role after a countback of votes following the shock resignation of councillor Steve Beardon last month. The countback of votes from the 2016 general election of Victorian councillors that re-elected Mr Rowe was conducted on Monday 3 April in the Casey council chambers. Gary Rowe was the last candidate to be ousted behind Cr Beardon in October 2016 when the latter obtained just 92 more votes than Mr Rowe on the 30th vote count. Cr Beardon tendered his resignation to Casey council CEO Mike Tyler on 8 March 2017 after an investigation was launched into an alleged argument between him and another councillor following a council meeting. Mr Rowe said he was taken by surprise when he received the call from Casey mayor Sam Aziz just after 10.30am on Monday 3 April that he had been re-elected councillor. “I’m not sure how I’m feeling to be honest,” he said.

“I stood for election in October, and had I been elected back then it would have been business as usual, but six months without local politics I’ve had a bit more time to think about it.” “I said in the beginning, when Cr Beardon resigned, that I wasn’t sure but I’m certainly not considering rejecting it.” Mr Rowe is expected to be sworn in as councillor before the council meeting commences on Tuesday 4 April, but Mr Rowe is unsure he will be able to make it. “I definitely want to be there tomorrow night to be sworn in, but that will depend,” he said “With less than 24 hours’ notice it makes it difficult; this is not something I planned for on Friday.” Mr Rowe said he was looking forward to picking up where he left off when he lost his seat to Mr Beardon last year. “There is a lot of unfinished business that has been dropped,” he said. “For example, the speed limit in High Street Cranbourne is a project I had been working on for quite some time, and was trying to get some State

CHEAPEST FLOORING/DECKING

Government funding for it.” “It made me very angry to see VicRoads putting skirts on pedestrian crossings when they could have been spending that money lowering the speed limit and making Cranbourne safer.” Mr Rowe said these kinds of infrastructure projects would be a big focus for his return to council. “The problem with our community is a lack of infrastructure, and it’s something that needs to be addressed,” he said. “As a whole, governments need to address and deliver funding of infrastructure when putting 40,000 new properties in Casey.” Mr Rowe said he wanted to focus on improving the accessibility and public amenities in the municipality. “The roads already don’t cope,” he said. “We have to deliver major road projects and public transport like the extension of the train rail to Clyde and Cranbourne East.” While Mr Rowe will return to his previous position as councillor following the abrupt end to Mr Beardon’s po-

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Police and emergency services were called to the South Gippsland Highway near Station Street in Cranbourne after a pedestrian was hit by a car on Saturday 1 April. It is believed the 62-year-old man from Frankston South was crossing the road shortly before 9pm when he was struck by a vehicle. Emergency services were called to the scene, and the pedestrian was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition with life-threatening injuries. The 42-year-old Cranbourne man who was at the wheel and five-year-old passenger were not injured. The driver assisted police with inquiries. Witnesses or anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

litical career, he said this won’t change how he operated as a councillor. Cr Aziz said the rest of the members of Casey Council were looking forward to working with Mr Rowe again. “Gary Rowe was instrumental in setting Casey on its new and exciting direction during his last term, and I’m thrilled to be able to work with him again,” he said. “With Gary as a member, the last council oversaw a modernisation of the way council serves its community, which continues today,” he said. “It’s pleasing that now eight of those 11 councillors will be able to continue that work to deliver the best possible services and value for our customers.” Mr Rowe said he was aware his return to Casey council was unorthodox, but he said he held no ill will to a man who ousted him in the 2016 election. “I wish Mr Beardon all the best, and I understand he had to make a difficult decision,” he said. “These are personal life decisions people have to make, and in public life it doesn’t happen that often; I hope he achieves everything he wants to.”

Casey mayor Sam Aziz says he’ll make “no apologies” for City of Casey’s ‘economic partnership’ delegation which has flown out for a week’s tour of China. Cr Aziz, Cr Wayne Smith and two council officers flew out for their trip to Sichuan province and Shanghai on 4 April. They are expected to return to Melbourne on 11 April. The delegation’s mission was to attract jobs and investment to Casey-Cardinia, Cr Aziz said. It also wanted to forge a longterm economic agreement with a Chinese council, city or region. “By sitting across a table with Chinese authorities, Casey will have the best chance of identifying opportunities to create trade and economic development, leading to jobs.” “While it will take some time to realise the benefits of the economic partnership delegation, I’m convinced it will reap the rewards for our city. “I make no apologies for being ambitious. Sitting on our hands at home is not an option.” Among the party’s stops are Dujiangyan Irrigation System, Xujia vegetable farm, Industrial Park of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Victorian Government business offices, Australian Chamber of Commerce West China and Shanghai, and Huawei Research and Development Centre.

Berwick railway station’s overflowing car park will receive 40 extra spots by December, the State Government has announced. But until then, there will be no relief from City of Casey’s parking officers for punished commuters such as Danielle Soobaroyen. Ms Soobaroyen had told Star News on 30 March how she couldn’t afford to go to work and risk paying a fine due to a lack of all-day parking spots near the station from 7.20am. Her tale struck a chord with many readers. One offered to anonymously pay Ms Soobaroyen’s most recent $78 parking infringement, others called for a multi-level car park at the station or a commuter parking permit system. Ali Uding wrote on the Cranbourne Berwick News’s Facebook page that she was in the same situation as Ms Soobaroyen - unable to get to the station earlier due to child care. “I also panic that I won’t get a park and can’t get to work. It’s unacceptable and something needs to be done about this issue urgently. “There needs to be more local jobs so we are not all commuting to the city.” Others reported they regularly scored a car park at the station up to 7.15am or an onstreet parking spot up until 7.45am. Some suggested that Casey Council waive parking fines until the 40-space car park upgrade was finished.

Danielle Soobaroyen says she's sick of paying a parking fine to commute from Berwick train station. 166619 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS City of Casey transport strategic advisor Paul Hamilton said there would be no change to the parking regime. “Council understands commuter’s frustrations but we also have to consider residents living near railway stations and the impacts that parking in residential streets has on them. “While we welcome any additional parking, we will continue to advocate to the State Government for improved public transport services including better bus connections to the stations to help address the parking concerns.” Public Transport Users’ Association spokesman Daniel Bowen said providing car spaces was an expensive solution and would never meet demand. “It is critical that the government provide other options for getting people to the station. Better pedestrian and bicycle paths and secure cages will help, and frequent connecting

buses are vital. “It means that people who can’t drive can easily access train services, and saves families money if they can reduce the number of cars in the household.” The State Government announced the car park upgrade on 31 March, including CCTV, bright lights and better drainage. Works will begin in July as part of the government’s upgrading of 17 station car parks across the state. Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley said the upgrade will “make a real difference” for local commuters by “reducing the daily scramble to get a park and get the train”. 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 before 9.30am.

Tracie Schmutter with a mocked-up NBN node cabinet in front of her home. 166460 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Tracie wins battle of the front lawn By Cam Lucadou-Wells It was a win seemingly out of the box. Narre Warren South resident Tracie Schmutter has succeeded in fighting NBN Co plans to install a large National Broadband Network node cabinet in the middle of her front lawn on Portree Place. The “massive” cabinet will be built around the corner in Galloway Drive, rather than the council-owned nature strip next to Ms Schmutter’s unfenced front yard. Ms Schmutter said she could have given up after being initially told the site couldn’t be changed unless there were “life threatening or safety issues”.

“If it’s something you believe in, you explore all avenues to fight it. “At every turn and every objection I put into NBN, it looked like I had little hope. “It seemed that they could do whatever they like.” She said it would be unlikely that she would have been allowed to build a similar-sized garden shed on the site. “I would have had to apply to the local council and they would say you can’t put it there, it would be an eye-sore.” Ms Schmutter said her property would have faced “substantial devaluation” from the NBN’s green peril - despite receiving high internet speeds due to the proximity of the node.

“I hope I still get reasonable internet speeds (from the Galloway Drive node).” She had earlier been told by NBN that sites were chosen mainly according to being able to “efficiently maintain the (NBN) infrastructure to service the surrounding homes.” “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 had been in discussions with the resident and succeeded in finding an alternative site that met “our network design parameters”.

On 29 March, the Cranbourne Berwick News Facebook page published a story about a woman who had cancelled going into work in the Melbourne CBD because she could not find a car space at the Berwick train station. A situation familiar to many of our readers, here is how you shared in the frustration of trying to find a park in the busy streets and car parks of Casey: Leanne Boots: I live near a school and a park. It’s the same. You can’t get in and out of your own drive way to go for an appointment, you either have to leave early or you have to park on the street. It’s disgusting and parents don’t even care. I am sure when I had children at school I never parked were I shouldn’t have. Parents have no respect. Dieter Koch: And Metro are telling us that they are increasing services to enable more patrons to travel. There are no car parks for this and the bus services in the area are terrible as it’s all affected by the ridiculous amount of traffic. Tony O’Hara: Berwick is just one of many with this problem. When dropping grandkids at school, I have noticed the parked cars extending further and further away from the station. The State government should look at overthe-top of the rail or multi-storey parking. The sale of released land would almost certainly pay for it. Sue Baldizoni: Terrible state of affairs! Same issue with all the local schools! They build schools right smack in the middle of an estate with no provision for designated marked parking! I quite often can’t move in or out of my home at school time, people scrambling to get a park, blocking driveways, parking on nature strips, small streets all congested! Poor poor planning! Berwick is in gridlock in every direction at school times! Ali Uding: Yes I too am in the same situation and I have to get to the station earlier but can’t due to childcare. I also panic that I won’t get a park and can’t get to work. It’s unacceptable and something needs to be done about this issue urgently. There needs to be

more local jobs so we are not all commuting to the city. Rhiannon Dempster: I park there every day during the week and get a park up until 7.10am. I’ve never had to park in the street. There is always parks on the platform 2 side which is being spoken about here. The other side is a bit of a different story. Aleksandra Samardzic: It’s not only Berwick. Being a daily commuter (Dandenong - South Melb), I too have been fined a lot for not parking in the ’bays’. Now the issue is another 10-30 cars could fit if they repainted the bays. Prior to getting my licence, I was forced to catch a bus, train and tram. The bus

Ray’s

say

would always be late causing me to miss my trains and trams. I was then forced to catch a 6.25am bus meaning I was ALWAYS way to early at work. Now that I drive, I still have to leave my house at 7.15am and still can’t find parking and still suffer a whole journey standing in a crowded train (still beats paying $40 a day on parking + toll and petrol). One day as PT officers were fining me I asked them what was a solution to avoid this. They couldn’t provide a practical solution and it was ’my fault’. Maybe building multiple level parking at bigger stations (eg - Berwick, Dandenong, Springvale, Oakleigh) to ease pressure on other stations? Or just let people be!

Help avoid a cat-astrophe looking for a forever home. Adoption fees for cats older than four months are usually $120 and the normal adoption fees for kittens are $195. During the “CatPacity” adoption promotion, fees for cats will be reduced to $39 and kittens will be available to adopt for $99. RSPCA Victoria Chief Executive Officer Dr Liz Walker said the number of cats in shelters across the state had increased drastically. “We have so many cats coming through our doors and even more already awaiting adop-

tion,” she said. “This is all about finding forever homes for these gorgeous animals and giving people that extra incentive to adopt, instead of shopping online or buying from a backyard breeder.” RSPCA Victoria cares for around 10,400 cats each year, with numbers peaking as a result of “kitten season” - the breeding season typically between spring and summer. Each cat has been desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and had veterinary checks, and the same time and effort will go into matching each animal to the right family.

There were many reasons to celebrate at the Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre on Thursday 30 March. The centre officially marked the opening of the $1.15 million expansion to the building as well as celebrated 25 years of community learning and engagement. As the community of Cranbourne North has grown over the years, the community centre is in need of the upgrade to meet the ever- expanding needs of the residents. The upgrade has new counselling suites, a modernised external facade, a new reception area and administration space, an upgraded commercial kitchen, additional bathroom amenities including an ambulant disabled bathroom with shower and upgrades to the main hall and children’s rooms. “MPLCC is one of Casey’s busiest community facilities,” Casey mayor Sam Aziz said. “More than 1000 Casey residents visit the centre each week to participate in adult and youth education programs, access the childcare programs or make a booking with the centre’s counselling services.”

Cr Amanda Stapledon, Mayor Sam Aziz, MPLCC President Kevin Harris and MPLCC CEO Jan Gilchrist celebrate as Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre marks 25 years. “Council recognises the importance of providing community, sporting and educational facilities for our residents and the positive contribution facilities like MPLCC make to the well-being of individuals and ultimately of the whole com-

“We’re proud to deliver a range of improvements for all those who access this highly valued facility, and the team at MPLCC are excited to be able to deliver new and innovative programs for the local community,” Cr Aziz said.

Paws for school holiday fun with the dogs Springvale and Cranbourne will host Greyhound Holiday Fun Days this school holidays. Keysborough MP and Racing Minister Martin Pakula announced a joint funding package of more than $126,000 to support the free family fun program at 10 venues across the state on Monday 3 April.

Greyhound Racing Victoria will host the events, including one at Sandown on Thursday 13 April and Cranbourne on Wednesday 12 April. There’ll be big-screen interactive video games, face painting, karaoke, sporting activities and four-legged friends from the Greyhound Adoption Program.

The State Government is contributing more than $63,000 towards the program, with Greyhound Racing Victoria matching the contribution. The Cranbourne event will run from 2.30pm to 6.30pm and Sandown’s day will run from 6pm to 10pm. Visit grv.org.au/greyhoundholiday-fun-day for more information.

Greyhound Racing Victoria mascot Turbo will also make a special appearance. Turbo-themed activities will include a jumping castle, inflatable slide, activity bags and photo opportunities. Greyhound Holiday Fun Days entry is free and kids will receive a complimentary meal and drink.

Fun to be had at Akoonah Park Akoonah Park will be dancing with tulips and wooden clogs this weekend but it is an under-appreciated and under-utilised treasure trove of fun, says volunteer administrator Gayle Joyce. The 11-hectare showground and recreation reserve is host to a range of community groups and events, including a Dutch Festival on 8 April - and of course the annual Berwick Show. But there’s always room for more, says Ms Joyce who is secretary of Akoonah Park’s committee of management.

“A lot of people would just know it as a showgrounds,” Ms Joyce said. “What we’d like the community to understand is it’s more than a showgrounds but provides so much more for the community. “There’s a lot of people just moving into Casey that don’t know about this beautiful reserve, Akoonah Park.” Some of the little known features are the meeting rooms, the reserve’s 200-capacity function centre, a Men’s Shed, a camping ground, horse dressage arenas, dog walking area and a walking path along Cardinia

Creek into Beaconsfield Reserve. It is an annual host of the Cancer Council Relay for Life 24-hour walkathon, the Dandenong Valley Historic Car Club and City of Casey Kids Carnival, Ms Joyce said. The reserve also holds a Sunday market of fruit and vegies, bric a brac, handmade crafts and a variety of stalls. Ms Joyce said the reserve was run by a committee of volunteers who meet “without fail” each month. “We put in many unpaid hours on the tractor or shovel doing all the maintenance

Story of love By Cam Lucadou-Wells Adlib Theatre’s young troupe will perform the folklorish love story Beauty and the Beast in the April school holiday period. The Berwick-based cast aged 9 to 22 - will perform the wild tale of whether a heroine could find true love and break a spell that had cursed a castle for many years. It will inspire an audience to “walk away humming the tunes to these new and outstanding songs”, says theatre spokeswoman Michelle Robertson. Children in the audience can meet and get autographs from their favourite characters after the show, she said. The theatre’s directors, Donna and Peter Dowler, created an original script, score and lyrics for the musical.

Fifi (Amber Davidson), Julienne (Georgia Panayidis), Emmett (Marcus Galic), Fleur (Haily Watson) and Clef (Annalys Giaccotto). “We are very proud of the bright, modern musicals we create at Adlib Theatre and ensure that every production has an original and exciting adaptation concept behind it, that contemporary audiences will love,” Ms Dowler said.

The show is at Starbright Theatre, Berwick Fields Primary School, Berwick on 9-13 April. Details: adlibentertainment.com.au or trybooking. com/260956

Stolen car, driver spotted at car yard

Luke a big loser for daughter By Victoria Stone-Meadows Cranbourne locals have no doubt spotted a familiar face in the newest season of the popular reality TV series The Biggest Loser. Luke King, the sales and sponsorship manager for the Cranbourne turf club, decided to become a contestant on the show to be a better role model for his two-year-old daughter. “I think that any child deserves a parent that is healthy and active,” he said. “It is always in the back of my mind knowing she is an active toddler it’s important for me to get my act into gear and be best healthy role model I can possibly be.” Weight loss and the lifestyle change necessary to achieve these kinds of goals are usually a very personal journey and Mr King said it was not a light decision to share his story on television. “It was a bit of a tough decision to do it in any case, let alone in front of the nation,” he said. “I had been training for a long time but had not seen any kind of results so my trainer, ex-Commonwealth boxer Julian Holland put it in my head I needed a total life change.” “I saw an ad for The Biggest Loser and decided it was time for change and to make the improvement I wanted to see and that I have been working towards for 10 or 15 years.” Although the program has only just start-

ed on TV, Mr King said the experience so far had been very rewarding. “I found the whole experience really worthwhile,” he said. “It’s a really tough slog but up to this stage I have officially lost 6.8 and 3.3 kilograms in the two weigh-ins.” Before starting his journey with The Biggest Loser, Mr King said it would have taken him a lot longer to lose that much weight. “To have lost that amount of weight beforehand could have taken me up to a year at one point.” “It’s been amazing to see that sort of result and my improved fitness and leaning key things like diet is a great thing for me.” While Mr King said he loved the experience of being on The Biggest Loser, he had a long way to go to reach his goal of getting back to his sporting-fit weight. “At this stage things are only just gearing up and we’ve just lost the first challenge in the orange team,” he said. One member of the orange team that Mr King is a member of was eliminated and sent home from the show on Wednesday night 29 March. “It’s definitely tough but we are all improving together and my fitness is starting to lift to a level I haven’t had for a long time.” Catch Luke King’s journey and the rest of the action from The Biggest Loser: Transformed on Chanel 10 Mondays to Thursdays at 1pm.

Luke King at the beginning of his The Biggest Loser Journey, weighing in at 123.4 kilograms.

Police have released footage of a man they wish to speak to as well as a Holden sports sedan stolen from a Cranbourne East home on 11 March. Casey CIU detectives say burglars broke into a house and stole the silver HSV GTS sedan from its garage on Muirfield Close about 7am while the owners were on holiday. Two days later, the stolen car and a man were captured on CCTV footage as the car’s occupants scoured through several cars at a car yard in Pakenham at 8pm. The car yard’s owner and son, alerted by an alarm, observed the HSV parked in the business’ driveway. The stolen car and its occupants fled and were chased by the car yard owner in his own vehicle before the cars collided in a nearby court. The HSV driver, described as of Islander appearance, solid build and bald, drove from the scene. The stolen car was found burnt-out on Loch-Wonthaggi Road, Almurta, on 15 March. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au. Right: CCTV of an alleged male intruder at a Pakenham car yard on 13 March. Below: The HSV GTS Holden sedan.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST Dozen categories of business excellence By Victoria Stone-Meadows The 2017 Casey Cardinia Business Awards are back for another fantastic year to recognise the best and brightest in our business community. The awards will cover 12 separate categories as well as the coveted Casey Cardinia Business of the Year Award and People’s Choice Award. All businesses in the region are encouraged to apply for the awards with nomination open until Wednesday 31 May 2017. City of Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the awards aimed to recognise and celebrate the best in business across the region. “The Casey Cardinia region has a thriving business community and these awards are a chance to celebrate and recognise the contribution businesses make to our region,” he said. “Businesses provide local jobs, boost our economy, deliver great services and products to our residents close to home, and even represent us on a global scale.” “Entering the awards is a great business development opportunity, providing a chance to be recognised, receive publicity, network and establish relationships with other local businesses and business leaders and gain feedback from industry experts.” Cardinia Shire Mayor Brett Owen said even the application process provided a chance for businesses to reflect on their contribution to the South-East. “The application process itself is beneficial to business owners as preparing the submission provides a chance to step back and review your business, highlight your achievements and the areas that are working well, outline your future aspirations, and determine what could be improved,” he said. “The People’s Choice Award is back

Finalists will be announced at the Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast on Wednesday 6 September 2017, and winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner on Friday 27 October 2017 at the Cranbourne Racing Centre. For more information or to apply for an award, visit www.caseycardinia.com. au/businessawards.

The Ripe for Change Small Grants Program will be providing up to $10,000 to innovative food system projects in the Casey Council area. Ripe for Change is a philanthropic initiative which aims to make the Victorian food system more sustainable. Its goal is to address complex food issues by taking a localised approach. The new grants program is the first of its kind and is being trialled through the Casey Cardinia Foundation, with applications invited from Casey, Cardinia and the Mornington Peninsula. Executive Officer of the Casey Cardinia Foundation Therese Howell said the small grants program was an exciting opportunity to further support the community by enabling philanthropic funds into the region. “We’re encouraging innovative projects that collaborate with other groups and organisations,” Ms Howell said. “We’re looking to inspire groups and organisations to think outside the square and look at their potential to do great things in this space.”

Funding for the grants program is being provided through the Australian Environment Grantmakers Network (AEGN). AEGN Giving Green manager Esther Abram said the Ripe for Change grants were a terrific opportunity for Community groups in Casey to get funding support for work to improve the local food system. “Community interest in sustainable food has grown, but there hasn’t been much funding available. Ripe for Change is hoping to address this gap," she said. Australian Community Philanthropy executive officer Kate Buxton said the Casey Cardinia Foundation had demonstrated leadership and innovation in their work on the Ripe for Change Small Grants Program. “It’s a fantastic example of collaboration, and I’m really excited to see the Casey Cardinia Foundation leading the way,” she said. Applications for the grants will be open until Friday 21 April. Visit the Ripe for Change Small Grants Program website for more information and application guidelines: www.caseycardiniafoundation.org/grants/

Applications for the Casey Cardinia Business Awards 2017 are now open! Local businesses big and small are encouraged to enter, with inalists getting the chance to become the Casey Cardinia Business of the Year. This year’s awards will feature 12 categories plus 1 People’s Choice, where winners will claim some excellent prizes, including a share of $15,000 in prize money and outstanding exposure. 12345760-DJ14-17

THE latest in cutting-edge housing designs have proven a major drawcard at Berwick Waters, with well over 1000 people turning out for the launch of the area’s biggest display village. Local residents and the wider community flocked to the unveiling on Sunday, with most of the state-of-the-art 53 homes from 22 builders showcased at the development. The flagship display village - the largest in the City of Casey - caught the imagination of families, couples and singles alike, who were able to view a kaleidoscope of innovative new design trends and dream of their future homes. The opening kicked off with a family fun day featuring kid’s favourite Peppa Pig, DJs, a giant slide, Thomas the Tank Engine ride, a petting zoo, sausage sizzle and DJs. Art and craft, a Jurassic Park-themed jumping castle, face painters, balloon twisters and food and coffee vans also made the day memorable. Berwick Waters is a joint development by Frasers Property Australia and Mondous Property Australia, and more than 500 of the eventual 2500 homes have been built to date. Sarah Bloom, Frasers Property’s general manager Residential Victoria, said the event was a roaring success, giving locals and those further afield the chance to explore a one-stop-shop in the modern housing advances. It was also a chance for the community to mingle, meet their future neighbours, and build new relationships. “We were overwhelmed by the interest in the display village, people found it exciting to wander through and find different designs that suit their personal styles or tastes,” she said. “We wanted to launch it with a family

THE URBAN IS A LEGEND IN THE MAKING FEW homes boast two master bedrooms, but that is exactly what buyers get with this stunning family home in Keysborough’s prestigious Sarah Lands Estate. Stylish and sophisticated, The Urban by Monomeath sits amid other quality homes at 25 Patricia Loop. The square lines and flat roof of the ultra-modern facade set the quality and tone of the overall design of the home that sits on a 420 metre square block surrounded by other quality homes. The feeling of space is apparent the moment visitors step into the entrance hall. To the right is the first master bedroom. Perfect as a parent’s retreat, the bedroom has a sleek en suite with a double basin, wall-to-ceiling tiles, porcelain floor tiles and double shower. Storage is a pleasure thanks to the spacious walk-in wardrobe. Down the hall visitors pass a power room and sliding doors that lead to a timber deck at the side of The Urban. The hall fans out into a huge kitchen, dining and living area. Windows and glass sliding doors make the most of the light flooding in to the rear of the home. The kitchen is ideal for entertaining with a servery which opens to the outdoor eating area, 900mm stainless steel appliances, 40mm engineered Caesarstone bench tops, glass splashbacks and adjoining butler’s kitchen. Upstairs are a further three bedrooms, including the stunning second master

the driveway and outdoor areas, 2.7 metre high ceilings, security alarm, video intercom, ducted vacuum system, porcelain tiles on the outdoor alfresco area and all fencing and window furnishings. Peter Nicolls, director of KR Peters the firm marketing The Urban, described it as “unique”. “It’s not your traditional build. It has quality and it has character,” Mr Nicolls said. “You feel it as soon as you walk in. The home flows and it has the wow factor. As you walk through the property your eyes are trying to take it all in.”

MONOMEITH

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF 'MONOMEITH PARK' MONOMEITH Park, a substantial and historically significant rural holding of some 565 acres (three titles), in the outer south eastern Melbourne region, lies in what is widely recognised as being among the finest grazing country in Australia. It is steeped in rich history from early settlement days, when Monomeith was initially settled and established as a much larger tract of grazing farmland stretching across the greater part of Monomeith and Caldermeade. Hundreds of prime bullocks were driven in mobs for many years on the long trek from Monomeith to the Newmarket saleyards, a feat ably taken care of by the well-known character “little” Billy Matthews who reputedly drove the Monomeith mob by himself. In 1886, Monomeith was subdivided by auction when other local families, still farming the area, including Glasscocks, purchased various portions of the holding. It was noted that at that time the

Bourke family retained the finer portion of this renowned grazing holding and this is captured in the following extract from the book “Memoirs of a Stockman” by Harry Worthington Peck: “However, the Bourke brothers at Old Monomeith Homestead of some 2000 acres have today the pick of the estate carrying some 3000 cattle of mixed ages and all fattening. This is probably a record for the Commonwealth and proves the virtue of top-dressing even on the richest natural pastures”. The property continues a long and proud history from late 1800s spanning three generations of the Bourke family who had originally owned large land holdings around Pakenham. That tradition of producing prime beef cattle for both the local and export markets continues to this day. The property can also proudly boast the honour of having been graced by the presence of Australia’s Cattle King, Sir Sidney Kidman on both social and

business occasions. Monomeith Park is situated approximately 85km from Melbourne and 110km from the international airport via the M1 freeway and in close proximity to the major commercial centres of Casey and Cardinia, schools and shopping and only a short distance from the leading racing centres of Cranbourne and the new “world class, state of the art” Pakenham Racing complex in Tynong. Key selling points of Monomeith Park: •฀Size,฀rare฀large฀rural฀holding฀of฀565฀ acres within commuting distance of Melbourne, •฀A฀historically฀significant฀property,฀ period homestead, original stables and outbuildings, •฀Renowned,฀established฀beef฀fattening฀ and dairy country, excellent reliable rainfall, •฀Water฀security,฀with฀catchment/ storage dams, five bores with windmills, troughs,

SPECULATION IS UNWARRANTED THE principal of First National Real Estate Neilson Partners, Ross Neilson says local community fears of an Australian housing bubble are the result of media speculation, based on overseas analysis, that fails to account for Australia’s unique market circumstances. "The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s recent claim that Australian house prices may represent a threat to the economy is similar to much of the foreign commentary we’ve heard before; it fails to fully appreciate the nature of our economy, how Australians invest, and where they want to live," Ross said. ‘Australia is the only country in the world where nearly 40 per cent of its population wants to live in two capital cities that together comprise less than 0.3 per cent of the country’s landmass. Historic low interest rates have combined with overall positive economic conditions, and a national preference for housing investment over shares, to drive up house prices in Sydney and Melbourne. However, this is not the case across regional Australia and in Perth where house prices are still falling.’ First National Real Estate is of the view that unless there is a sharp increase in interest rates or a sudden rise in unemployment, there is limited potential for a housing prices crash. "Both scenarios are unlikely," Ross said. "The Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) preference would in fact be for further cuts to official interest rates, if that didn’t increase the risk of further inflating house prices. While rates will eventually have to rise, that’s clearly not the RBA’s choice while inflation remains below target."

Berwick Chase Primary School student Isabelle blows wildlife friendly bubbles. 166722 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Balloons take their toll on birds By Cam Lucadou-Wells Zoos Victoria speakers took the air out of wildlife unfriendly balloon celebrations in a talk with Berwick Chase Primary School students on 30 March. According to the zoo’s campaign, released or escaped balloons in oceans and waterways

speakers suggested alternatives such as blowing bubbles, paper balloons, bunting, kits, candles, planting a tree and floating flowers. Or alternatively, balloons could be contained indoors and disposed in the bin. Details: zoo.org.au/balloons

Perry chases glory By Russell Bennett Perry Lewis-Smith is a machine - one fuelled by doubters, people who’ve knocked him back, or who’ve said no. The 18-year-old Casey Demons utility is as strong under the packs with his clean hands as he is on the outside with his relentless run and carry and sublime footskills. But he’ll never be the one to say that - he’s too modest and unassuming. Just don’t mistake that for a lack of self-belief. He’s as self-driven as any prodigious young footballer his age. Lewis-Smith’s nickname is ‘The Machine’ for very good reason. He’s won 10 best and fairest category awards as a junior player - three of them league awards. He captained the Parkmore Under 17s to a South East Juniors premiership in 2015, gathering 44 disposals through the midfield and winning the best on ground medal in the grand final. He then moved on to the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup last year, where he played as an attacking half-back. He was constantly in the club’s top five players for key performance indicators, and kept his direct opponents goalless throughout the season. Lewis-Smith had the highest registered and recorded beep test - 15.7 - out of all TAC Cup players competing in the 2016 combines, where they be Rookie Me, the Victorian state, or National combines and also recorded a 15.9 at TAC Cup testing day. When he wasn’t playing at Sandringham last year, he ventured down to play seniors at Dingley in the SFL under Shane Morwood. Despite being just 17 at the time, Lewis-Smith fell just one vote short of the winning the Dingoes’ best and fairest ... in only seven games played. In his limited appearances for the Dingoes, he stole the show with two 40-disposal games and a 30-touch effort while also booting 12 goals during one month of domination. After signing at Casey, he recorded the best time in the three kilometre time trial - 9.42 - and shone in his pre-season debut against the Central Australian Redtails from the Northern Territory. He then followed that up another two outstanding displays - the first against Port Melbourne at Casey. Lewis-Smith has also won vari-

Fans just not ‘appy’ By David Nagel

Teenage sensation Perry Lewis-Smith has a relentless, take-no-prisoners approach to his footy. 166963 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT ous Victorian state track and field cross country championships, including finishing a close second in the steeplechase despite never having run the discipline before. He had to earn his spot on the Casey list for 2017, and he knows he’ll have to earn his debut in their seniors. Former Collingwood premiership team-mates Morwood and Mick Gayfer are two of LewisSmith’s mentors, and he’s also got a particularly strong relationship with Casey VFL coach Justin Plapp. “He’s really supportive, he’s a great teacher, and he’s a great coach,” Lewis-Smith said.

“He really works to your strengths, he’s a great communicator and one of the best coaches I’ve ever had.” And most importantly - “He’s very straight to the point.” That’s what Lewis-Smith thrives on - honest, direct feedback on his game and how to take it to the next level. “I have to play good, consistent footy in the development squad and earn my sport but there’s definitely an opportunity for me to play in the ones,” the young gun said. “I’ve been knocked back a few times and that definitely keeps driving me.

“I just like to go out there and get the job done and let my footy do my talking for me.” Highly composed under pressure, poised, and with strong instincts - the footy ground is LewisSmith’s office, and he can’t wait to knuckle down and get to work whenever he can. “I want to just keep playing consistent footy week in, week out and hopefully work my way up into the ones and if I play good footy there, to get drafted,” he said. “That’s been the goal for so long. “I think I’m good enough to get drafted, and the window is still open.”

Not even the humble and much-loved footy record has survived the technological tsunami sweeping the world after the South East Football Netball League’s decision to go digital in 2017. Supporters of all nine clubs in SEFNL were left bemused on Saturday as gatekeepers gave a blank look to their request for a staple of Australian Rules football since 1912. Supporters who have contacted the Gazette said they had no idea the change was being implemented and were confused watching the Round 1 fixture, with new players in new jumper numbers at each club hard to distinguish. According to SEFNL Leagues Manager Liz Triffitt, the change was brought about after all club presidents were surveyed about the future of the booklet. SEFNL now sends the completed digital copy to the clubs on Friday, with the clubs responsible for printing their own versions prior to the Saturday fixture. The footy record is also available via the TeamApp smartphone app. “We surveyed the clubs and the general consensus came back that printing the records was a waste of time and money,” Triffitt said. “Obviously there was concern for the die-hard supporter, but clubs were throwing half of their allocation into the bin so it was decided to trial a digital record this season. It’s up to the clubs now to print off the team lists after they’ve been sent to them on Fridays.” Triffitt agreed that communicating the change could have been handled better, but said there were positives to come from the move. “We’ve had 3000 views on-line and the clubs now have the opportunity to create links to their websites, to an event they may be hosting, and even links to their sponsors,” she said. Club presidents were mixed with their views, one describing the change to digital as the “worst decision he had ever seen,” while another said “the inconvenience was bigger than he thought.” One club president said his club had definitely not agreed to the change to digital and would only have done so if the on-line version was run in conjunction with a hard copy. “And we’re still getting charged for a record they’re not producing anymore,” the president said. Another said he was not fussed by the changed and it was just another sign of the times. Most agreed that printing the digital version would add costs to their clubs and would put further pressure on the volunteers that support their clubs.

Haul of medals for Masters at the smallest venue Despite being the smallest venue in Victorian Masters Athletics, Casey accumulated a remarkable total of nineteen medals - twelve of them gold - at the 2017 Victorian Masters Track and Field Championships from Saturday 25 March to Sunday 26 March. Seven athletes dominated their events, ably led by Venue Manager Paul Olsson who claimed two gold and

one silver in the M60-64 division in the hammer, weight throw and triple jump events, followed by evergreen Mike Hall in the M75-79 division with five medals - gold in high jump, silver in pole vault and bronze in 60m, 100m and 200m. Newcomer Rhiannon Lester in the W35-39 division celebrated her inaugural State Championships with three

gold medals in long jump, 60m and 100m and silver in the triple jump. National Champions Pramesh Prasad in the M40-44 division, secured gold medals in both his 3000m and 1500m walk, and Shaun Taylor in the M30-34 division made a clean sweep of all his three events 60m,100m, and 200m. John Hallo in the M70-74 division won gold in the 3000m walk and Albin

Hess got silver in his 1500m walk in the M55-59 division. The friendly group based at Casey Fields each Monday night at 7pm welcomes anyone interested in their general health and fitness to come along regardless of ability, even if it’s just to improve their individual fitness level gradually, in a friendly social atmosphere.

Comets’ first win for season FFV - State Leagues REVIEW - ROUND 2 State League 1 - South-East The Casey Comets secured their first win of the 2017 season with a solid 3-0 win against Malvern City last Friday Night at Comets Stadium. Ryan Hughes got the opening goal from a well taken penalty kick in the sixth minute which set the game up for the Comets and they grew in confidence and controlled the game in the first half. Allando Matheson finally scored his first goal for the Comets when in the 32nd minute, he latched on to a fine through-ball from Ray Markley, rounded the Malvern keeper Alex Connell and slotted it home. As expected, Malvern regrouped in the second half and despite creating some chances, the Comets defence held firm with goalkeeper Faraz Zenoozi calming everything down and mopping up any Malvern attacks. Matheson added to his tally and put the game beyond doubt in the 80th minute when, from a well taken corner by Andy Stubley, he rose above the Malvern defence and headed it past Connell. Coach Jamie Skelly was happy as he got the “reaction” from the squad he wanted after the opening game defeat. The squad trained well during the week and capped it off with a good win. The Reserves clawed back from being 2-0 down at half-time to salvage a draw. Goals from new recruit Orrin Giesbers in the 52nd minute and a sublime effort from Jack Duff-

ield in the 77th minute secured a point from last season’s champions. With the fixture versus Malvern being reversed the Comets are at home again next Saturday 8 April against Morwell Pegasus. Reserves are at 1pm and Seniors at 3pm. State League 2 - South-East Berwick City travelled to play Peninsula Strikers. In blustery conditions, it was Berwick who took early control of the game, dominating possession but with little reward until the 35th minute when the Strikers keeper misjudged a long range free kick from Erkan Filiz that found the back of the net to send the visitors into the break 1-0 up. A great solo effort by Ruben Ichim then put Berwick 2-0 up early in the second half before the Strikers pulled one back. However, a fine team move in the 69th minute was finished off by Gary Davidson to restore the 2-goal advantage to Berwick. Not long after another Strikers goal made the final 10 minutes an interesting affair with Berwick hanging on to win 3-2. Berwick assistant coach Shane Duhau said after the game it was pleasing to see the new recruits play well. “We were always on top but made it difficult for ourselves by not taking all of our chances,” he said. “It was great that three of our new recruits scored today and we can see that the team is starting to gel and will get better”. Next week Berwick will be looking to keep their unbeaten run going

when they are back at home against Frankston Pines. State League 5 - South Casey Panthers have continued their great start to the season with a 3-0 victory at home over Pakenham United FC in their State League 5 match on Saturday. The win takes them to the top of the ladder with wins in both of their games this season. Following on from their first round win, Casey Panthers were again at home and in front of a large crowd. Strong competition was provided by Pakenham United in a physical game and it was club captain, Martin Byrnes, who was able to break the defence to score the opening goal of the match with a long range kick. This was later followed by Shane Scott and Steven Kassabian, late in the game, to record a hard fought win for the Panthers. After a disappointing 2016 season, new Senior Coach, Lee Pritchard, was appointed last November and he has built a new squad of senior and reserve players, who have been training since early December, with the goal of bringing the club a promotion through a successful season in 2017 and to develop a pathway for development of the current junior players at the club. The Panthers travel to Somerville next week in their third round match and will be looking to continue the winning form. In other matches, Drouin defeated Somerville 2-0 and Bunyip fell 0-3 to Lyndale United.

Falcons too good for Stingrays

Stingrays coach Craig Black had his hands full on Saturday. 166487 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS varino and his defenders enormous grief. But despite the disappointing loss, there were plenty of positives for the Rays to take away from the game. Will Hamill (17 disposals and five tackles) was a shining light, co-captain Josh Bateman (19 disposals) battled hard, while Mitch Rioardan (nine disposals) showed immense class despite not getting a heap of the footy. Exciting goal-sneak Finlay Bayne was the only multiple goal-scorer in an impressive debut game with the Rays. The Stingrays must now regroup ahead of a big clash with the Greater Western Victoria Rebels at Queen Elizabeth Oval in Bendigo.

TAC CUP REVIEW - ROUND 2 The Dandenong Stingrays have been annihilated by an electrifying Geelong Falcons unit by 77 points in their clash at Simonds Stadium on Saturday. Coming into the game after an impressive victory over the Power, the Rays were sky-high on confidence early, with Riley D’Arcy kicking the first goal of the game and Bailey Williams snaring a major only ten minutes later. After a close and tight affair in the first quarter, the Falcons were irresistible once the siren sounded to begin the second term, notably through the midfield, piling on five unanswered goals to take a commanding 33-point lead into half-time. With some fight at the beginning of the third-quarter, the Stingrays were simply overrun by a well-drilled midfield later in the quarter, with highly toutedyoungsters James Worpel (22 disposals and one goal) and Cassidy Parish (33 disposals) running amok and showing off some class. Parish, who is the younger brother of Essendon star Darcy, was simply too slick for the Rays to handle. In the last quarter, the Falcons toyed with a tiring Stingrays backline, kicking six goals to two to stretch out the lead beyond 60 points. Forward pair Gryan Miers and Tom McCartin combined powerfully for eight goals between them, causing Oscar Cla-

Tommy hits his strides By Nick Creely Entering his first season as a bona-fide VFL player with the Casey Demons, 19-year-old Tommy Glen is looking to break into the senior side and put his name up on the whiteboards of AFL recruiters once again. The Beaconsfield youngster and former Dandenong Stingray is making great strides down at Casey Fields after getting a taste of VFL football in 2016, and is looking forward to testing his mettle against some of Victoria’s most seasoned footballers. “I have really enjoyed it (pre-season), obviously it’s a bit of a step up in intensity and a bit more demanding in regards to time, but I was fortunate enough to do half of the pre-season last year at the club while still play-

ing at Dandenong, which held me in good stead in terms of what to expect,” he said. “The obvious goal is to play just the one game but I think at least five senior games is achievable and reasonable. “I’m just trying to listen and learn as much as possible and get something out of each time I walk into the club. “The club has given me plenty and I will do everything I can to repay the club.” The slick-moving footballer’s greatest asset is his versatility and natural athleticism, something he believes is suited to the VFL competition and will ensure he is not out of place if given an opportunity to show off his wares. “My best position at VFL level is probably across halfback or the wing, that’s where

I can use my strengths to the teams’ advantage, but it’s also important that I’m flexible and able to adapt to whatever is thrown my way,” he explained. “Last year at Dandenong we had a plan to play me as an inside midfielder, to try and grow my game and give me the best opportunity to go to the next level - being a bit skinnier than most guys at VFL level who are a bit older and more mature, I’ve moved back to a role where I can use my skills and athleticism.” The Demons were highly successful last year in moulding their VFL players into AFL prospects, with three 2016 players, Declan Keilty (Melbourne), Tim Smith (Melbourne) and Oscar McInerney (Brisbane) all finding their way onto AFL lists in 2017.

Tommy Glen, pictured here playing for the Rays last year, is looking forward to testing Picture: ROB CAREW himself at VFL level. 157392 Glen said that the club clearly has the capacity to produce AFL players, something he can use as motivation to achieve his dream. “That’s the ultimate goal -

the club is in a good position and I think there is a quite a clear pathway that the club has presented to all the boys with the opportunities that arose for the guys who got drafted from

the club last season,” he said. The Casey Demons will begin their 2017 campaign on 17 April in a highly-anticipated clash with Williamstown at Burbank Oval.

Old foes in blockbuster By David Nagel Gaining a physcological edge over an equally-talented competitor is just one of the prizes on offer for Berwick and Cranbourne when the two powerhouse sides of the South East Football Netball League collide at Edwin Flack Reserve on Saturday. These two have broken the heart of the other over the last two years, Berwick winning the 2015 grand final before the Eagles turned the tables in an epic season-decider last year. But both teams will take a new look into this clash, Berwick with a new coach and new game plan under Stewart Kemperman while Cranbourne looked younger and quicker against Hampton Park last week. The biggest prize for Kemperman and his Cranbourne counterpart Simon Goosey is to gain knowledge and some intellectual property on what the other is trying to achieve. “They’re obviously learning a new system, defence comes first, and this week will give us a good look at how they’ve changed,” Goosey said. “It’s no secret to these clubs that we press pretty hard and it will be inter-

Michael ‘Pickles’ Henry was the star performer in the South East Football Netball League on Saturday booting five goals against Officer. 166734 Picture: ROB CAREW esting to see what they’re trying to implement. We’ve heard a little bit on the grapevine and I’ll watch a bit of video during the week to make sure we don’t get too surprised.” Kemperman realises this is a massive test for his club. “It’s the ultimate litmus test in this league at the moment,” a respectful Kemperman said. “They’ve got the runs on the board and they’ve beaten us the last three times we’ve played them. It’s probably

the perfect time to play them, early in the season, so we can see how our structures stack up and take that feedback and develop accordingly.” The preparation heading in is like chalk and cheese, the Eagles pumping the Redbacks by 184 points at Casey Fields on Saturday while the Wickers had to fight hard to survive a gripping arm-wrestle against Beaconsfield. Cranbourne unfurled its flag and some exciting young talent, with Jake Carosella and Brad Bigaignon making

their senior debuts and small-forward Khaled Kandakji making a lasting impression in his first game for the club. Kandakji kicked seven goals to live up to his exciting practice match form. “He’s a genuine crumber but having said that he probably took mark of the year in our last practice match as well,” Goosey said. “He comes from Oakleigh Districts and has been thereabouts but has probably never taken his footy as seriously as he should; he just wants to test himself at a better level of footy.” Hard-presenting forward Troy Tharle kicked five for the winners, Mat Fletcher four, while Bigaignon, Daniel Kitto and Luke Bee-Hugo snagged three apiece. Berwick’s Battle of the Creek victory over Beacy was exactly that - a real battle - the Wickers kicking four goals to one in the final term to run out three-goal winners. “They probably surprised us a little with how strong they were behind the footy, and that’s going to keep them in a lot of games this season,” Kemperman said. Michael Misso joined Corey Walker, Jake Bowd and Dan Hellyer as the

ROC wins battle against Doves By David Nagel The South East Football Netball League looks set for a startling metamorphosis after Cranbourne and ROC pulled off surprise upsets against two of last year’s finalists on Saturday. The Eagles proved far too strong for a disappointing Hampton Park at Casey Fields, winning 50-33, while the Kangaroos emerged victorious in the close one of the day, returning from Robinson Reserve with a gritty 48-44 triumph over Doveton. Throw in a much-improved performance from last year’s cellardweller Berwick, and a dominant display from Tooradin over Pakenham, and all sectors of the 2016 ladder look set for a reshuffle. ROC’s list has really suffered over the last few years with experience, but the Kangaroos welcomed back some familiar faces on Saturday and reaped the rewards against Doveton. The Kangaroos will have a bumper crop of juniors coming through in about 10 years’ time after the birth of child after child at the club. Sure it’s great for the future, but those baby bumps took many a fine player away from the netball court over the last few years. Returning from the maternity ward on Saturday were Amy Jones, Sarah Smith and Mel Overdyk, adding some real substance to the look of the Kangaroos around the court. Smith (GS) was in good touch under the ring, Jones (WA) quality through the midcourt, while Overdyk (GK) put her experience to good use to form a solid defensive unit with Laura Quinn (GD). The two gun mid-courters ROC’s Ash Barnett and Doveton’s Zali Mifsud - had an exciting battle throughout the day in the centre. Coach Liz Edwards and Shonalene San Jose threatened to post a winning score for the Doves but the Kangaroos held firm for a confidence-boosting victory. “Let’s call them the mature heads around the club, they were saying we just don’t win in round one so to do that was really satisfying,” said

ROC goaler Samantha Neil played a key role in the Kangaroos surprise win over Doveton. 166734 Picture: ROB CAREW new coach Sharon Hook. “We adjusted into the game style really well. Doveton play an aerial game, a physical game, and we stood up to that pressure and showed that the fitness work we’ve been doing over summer is really paying dividends.” Cranbourne’s victory over Hampton Park was also most impressive, the Eagles, the most stable list from 2016 taking on the revolving-door type approach from the Redbacks. Eagles’ coach Donna Wilson said going into the season that familiarity would be one her side’s greatest strengths -and it certainly panned

out that way. “We had a couple of things go against us that would have thrown us right out in the past but the girls just stood up,” Wilson said. Tegan Stahl was outstanding for the Eagles. The hype surrounding TooradinDalmore and its exciting crop of recruits appears to be right on the mark after the Seagulls scored the most emphatic victory of the day, 66-23, against Pakenham at Tooradin. The Gulls took a huge leap forward in 2016, going from a winless 2015 to playing finals, and appear to be on an upward curve once again. New recruits, Alex Maher, Jess Cox,

Sara Duncan and Bec Kinna all played major roles in the victory. And Beaconsfield has made a solid start to its 2017 campaign, winning 52-40 in the Battle of the Creek at Holm Park Reserve. Champion mid-courter Jasmine Jones (C) stepped straight back into the thick of the action for the Eagles, controlling her battle with Charlotte Tiplady in the first half. Boroondara recruit Emily Boribon (GA) teamed up well with goal-shooters Bianca Sanzaro and Courtney Davey, while Dani Cameron, Taylah Jencke and Britnee Tyers made life difficult for Berwick’s goalers. Narre Warren had the bye.

Eagles best contributors, while Bryce Rutherford and defenders Billy Arthurson, Bob Kemperman and Riley Heddles did a great job for the Wickers. Jayden Joyce also stood tall against the dangerous Beau Dowler. In other games, Doveton star Michael ‘Pickles’ Henry snagged five goals from the midfield as the Doves scored a 38-point victory over Officer at Robinson Reserve. Key-forward Taylor Joyce kicked three in his Doveton debut, while Jesse Longmuir matched that total for the Kangaroos. Big Russ Gabriel and Aaron Henwood joined Henry as the key playmakers for the day. And Tooradin has broken a fouryear drought against Pakenham after downing the Lions by five goals at Westernport Oval. Gun-recruit Luke McKenna was pivotal for the Gulls, matching motors with Lions-gun Steve O’Bryan. Andrew Dean kicked three, while Aisakie O’hAilpin was also influential around the ground. Youngster Liam Tyrrell played a blinder for the Lions.

Little Mazda gets better By Ewan Kennedy MODEL RANGE The complete 2017 Mazda CX-5 range is: Maxx 2.0-litre petrol FWD: $28,690 (manual), $30,690 (automatic) Maxx 2.5-litre petrol AWD: $33,690 (automatic) Maxx Sport 2.0-litre petrol FWD: $34,390 (automatic) Maxx Sport 2.5-litre petrol AWD: $37,390 (automatic) Maxx Sport 2.2-litre diesel AWD: $40,390 (automatic) Touring 2.5-litre petrol AWD: $38,990 (automatic) Touring 2.2-litre diesel AWD: $41,990 (automatic) GT 2.5-litre petrol AWD: $44,390 (automatic) GT 2.2-litre diesel AWD: $47,390 (automatic) Akera 2.5-litre petrol AWD: $46,990 (automatic) Akera 2.2-litre diesel AWD: $49,990 (automatic)

Minimalist style of the new Mazda CX-5 works brilliantly. Boot space, at 442 litres, is good and easy to load, with a spacesaver being used to give added depth. Infotainment from the Mazda MZD Connect system via a 7.0-inch touchscreen includes AM and FM, as well as DAB+ radio. There’s Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio, Aux, and USB. Control is through steering wheel buttons for many functions, there’s also Mazda’s handy Comander rotary controller. Satellite navigation is optional on the CX-5 Maxx but standard on all other variants. Power comes from a range of engines, all using Mazda’s SkyActiv technology. Although based on the powerplants of the outgoing CX-5, they have significant improvements. The 2.2-litre turbo-diesel puts out up to 129 kW of power, with 420 Nm of torque at 2000 revs. The 2.0 petrol has 114 kW, and 200 Nm at a highish

4000 rpm. Note that Mazda Australia has again specified the engines be detuned slightly to suit Australia’s low-grade 91 octane standard petrol. Finally, there’s a 2.5-litre petrol producing 140 kW, and 251 Nm, again at 4000 rpm. A six-speed manual is on offer with the smaller petrol engine, all others have a six-speed automatic transmission and this unit is also mated to the 2.0-litre petrol when requested.. Our initial two days of test driving arranged by Mazda for the new CX-5’s launch took place in a complex route from the Gold Coast, inland through the hinterland and out to Beaudesert, finishing up in heavy-duty peak-hour traffic in Brisbane. Next day it was a trip north through outer suburban areas, then to Brisbane airport along the coast road, with the highlight being Redcliffe. Yes, that’s varied and realistic.

We tried both the larger petrol and the turbo-diesel engine. The petrol was our preferred unit as its smooth, quiet and reacts fast to throttle inputs. While the turbo-diesel is quieter than average for its class it’s still audible from the outside, and has more turbo lag than we like. The automatic is quick to sense driver demands and road conditions and shift to lower ratios when required. The new Mazda medium-large SUV is spacious, quiet and comfortable to ride in and able to cushion occupants from the rough ‘n’ ready backroads. Though this isn’t classed as a sporty machine we did find the steering and handling to be softer than we like. And there’s not a lot of feedback through the wheel. Again, try for yourself as part of the prepurchase test drive. New Mazda CX-5 will sell on style alone and while it’s marginally more expensive than the superseded model we feel it still provides excellent value. The Mazda range is available for test drive at Bruce Clough Mazda, Princes Highway, Nar Nar Goon, on 5942 5584.

Mazda CX-5 has been a hit in Australia from day one when it arrived here just over five years ago in February 2012. Now the second generation has been introduced. And the relentless series of improvements that drive the Japanese marque mean it exceeds the original in just about every area. The new CX-5 features a smoothing out of the original shape, almost to the extent of being minimalistic in its lines. It works exceptionally well to our eyes. At a time when many marques’ stylists are coming up with over complex details, Mazda might be leading the field in the next generation of automotive bodies. The CX-5’s grille is familiar, but different, and ties in with the lower areas. The doors have neat sculpting in their lower areas and the C-pillar treatment is interesting. If there’s one thing we aren’t keen on it’s the rather small rear lights. Inside, the central screen is a good size, the instruments are sporty in their layout and the dash sits quite a long way forward to give the visual appearance of added space. A new model has been added to the already comprehensive CX-5 range. Called the Touring, it sits between the Maxx Sport and GT. Potential buyers really are spoiled for choice as Mazda Australia is very keen to further increase its sales from the 115,000 that have hit Australia’s roads to date. There’s comfortable seating inside for four adults, with a fifth being possible without too much hip and shoulder rubbing. However, it’s very much a 40:20:40 layout and may not suit all. The back seats can be set at two angles to let those back there assume their preferred position, as well as to juggle luggage and passenger space. Large armrests are a feature we really liked in the front.
