Casey councillors have voted for the “return” of Christmas, with an overt display of Christianity to adorn its soon-to-open headquarters at Bunjil Place in December. At a meeting on Tuesday night, Cr Rosalie Crestani successfully moved for the addition of a life-size nativity scene with Biblical verse from Isaiah 9.6 in Bunjil Place, declaring it was time to put Jesus in his “rightful place”. “Christmas is returning to all four corners of Casey,” Cr Crestani said. She noted the community had “rough years” recently, linking security fears, crime rates and terrorist attacks including the alleged murderous incident involving Yacqub Khayre in Brighton the night before. Backed by “overwhelming community sentiment”, she said the Christmas message of “hope, peace and joy” was no better depicted than by a nativity scene of the birth of Jesus. Casey Council estimated the cost of the nativity scene at about $50,000, including installation and storage - though Cr Crestani said such displays could be sourced for “100 bucks”. Among the other features is a bespoke Christmas tree up to eight metres tall in the foyer, at a cost of about $58,000. Christmas carols and seasonal messages will be projected on indoor and outdoor digital screens in the building. There will also be extra

Christmas banners and flags, plus possibly illuminated decorations, around the municipality on top of the current $76,000 annual cost. Council staff will also be encouraged to celebrate Christmas throughout all the council’s facilities. The verse for the nativity scene will read: “For to us a child is born/ To us a son is given/ And the government will be on his shoulders. “And he will be called/Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God/ Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Cr Wayne Smith dissented on the point of adding a nativity scene, saying the additional Christmas tree, digital displays, banners and flags alone had been a “good compromise”. “We’re not ignoring Christmas,” said Cr Smith - who asserted he was a supporter of “multi-faiths” including Christianity. “Linking what happened in Brighton to a nativity scene in Bunjil is not fair,” he added. In support of the nativity scene, Cr Gary Rowe said it was time to honour “our Christian heritage”, “our laws” and to enforce laws to their “fullest extent”. No governments should go out of their way to “change our fundamental beliefs” and make “us” apologise for being Australians of European Christian backgrounds, Cr Rowe said. “I can’t stand by any longer seeing us apologise for being who we are.”

Tip is on the nose again By Cam Lucadou-Wells The operator of Hampton Park’s tip has been put on further notice by Environment Protection Authority for excessive levels of methane gas and carbon dioxide at its boundaries. Suez Recycling and Recovery at Hallam Road, which is as close as 100 metres away from homes, was served with an amended Pollution Abatement Notice (PAN) in March. Under the notice, Suez is required to fix the stench by installing extra gas monitoring bores and undertaking a long list of works to its gas extraction system including wells and pumps by 30 September. The landfill’s odours have long been a bugbear for nearby residents, including Casey councillor Damien Rosario. Despite the recent PAN, the tip’s wafting odours are still reaching Cr Rosario’s home. “At its worst, I have to close all my windows,” Cr Rosario said. “Residents here don’t want to invite people over to their houses because of the smell. “Thank God someone is taking action.” The tip has been the subject of three PANs in the past two years and an EPA enforcement action in 2012. Suez has a planning permit from Casey Council to operate the tip until 2040. The latest notice comes 12 months after Suez was put on notice for methane levels above the “upper explosive limit” being detected in December 2015. About a third of the landfill’s 273 gas extraction wells were found to be blocked, too wet, turned off or disconnected, or otherwise had slow gas flow rates. Many were blocked by leachate. Suez was required to immediately

Hampton Park resident Manpreet Singh and Casey councillors Damien Rosario, Amanda Stapledon and Wayne Smith. 169217 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS increase monitoring and improve its gas extraction system as a high priority to “manage high environmental risk or mitigate high impact”. It had been found to have made “significant efforts” to comply such as installing 22 perimeter landfill bores by August 2016. However during the works, Suez’s emissions had increased, EPA regional

manager Marleen Matthias said. “EPA has since increased its response work, undertaking odour surveillance and passing reports to Suez to ensure it investigates the source of any odours. “EPA believes that works have been progressing in line with the EPA-mandated timeframes.” Suez corporate affairs manager

Luke Schepen said it would address the EPA matters over coming months and provide the EPA with ongoing progress updates. “Suez strives to achieve the best possible environmental outcomes and we are committed to managing our landfill operations consistent with community expectations.” The operator runs a community

reference group and a 24/7 hotline for residents to report concerns. Casey statutory planning and building services manager Duncan Turner said the council regularly met with Suez to ensure compliance. “Odour complaints received by council are brought to the attention of (Suez) and are referred to the EPA for appropriate monitoring and attention.”

Aziz cleared by department in legal threat probe By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey mayor Sam Aziz has been swiftly cleared by the Local Government Inspectorate after being accused of possible code-of-conduct breaches by a local MP. Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley had called for an investigation in State Parliament on 25 May over Cr Aziz’s threatened lawsuit against Berwick Springs roundabout protestors. Star News understands that the inspectorate found no identifiable offence and will take no further action. However, Ms Graley told Star News that she’d not raised the matter with the inspectorate but with Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins.

Ms Hutchins was “still looking into and following up my request”, Ms Graley said. Cr Aziz said Ms Graley’s original speech in “Coward’s Castle” was “political mischief” designed to put a group from City of Casey in disrepute. He said it was the second failed gambit from Ms Graley after Casey’s governance was cleared by a state-appointed monitor in 2016. It had cost Casey ratepayers $25,000, he said. “She’s had her political fun and it’s come to nothing.” Cr Aziz said Ms Graley would be better spending her time fighting for state funding to unclog roads, improve public transport and tackle

crime in the region - all of which was “spiralling out of control”. “Why is it the west (suburbs of Melbourne) get $1.4 billion of funding while the south-east gets nothing, when we have three government MPs holding seats in the City of Casey?” Recently, Cr Aziz sent legal letters to several people who posted on a Facebook page against a proposed roundabout across a bluestone-wall estate gateway at Greaves Road and Berwick Springs Promenade, Narre Warren. The letters demanded an apology “in wording to be agreed”, and the payment of Cr Aziz’s “reasonable” legal costs as well as “adequate” damages compensation. Cr Aziz, who was unwilling to

comment on the lawsuits themselves, has maintained his actions were lawful and “absolutely not” in breach of the code. He said there was a “massive” difference between political protest and defamation on his character. Ms Graley had told Parliament that Cr Aziz might have been in breach of code-of-conduct provisions that councillors treated “all persons with respect” and had “due regard” to their opinions, beliefs, rights and responsibilities. “One could question whether the mayor is using his position of power, or maybe even council resources, to attack the very constituents he should be representing.”

Sam Aziz has been cleared by the Local Government Inspectorate. 1213124-EB02-16

People power vs pokies A reformed problem-gambler has urged others to join him in a campaign against an application by Zagame’s Berwick Springs Hotel for 10 extra poker machines. Tom Cummings, of Berwick, has lost $100,000 as well as a relationship, home, friendships and most of his belongings to the ‘onearmed bandits’. Pokies had been a way for him to “turn off the world” but he was back living with his parents, with a tonne of debts and dark thoughts. Sixteen years on, his life has been rebuilt, though his addiction will never go away. He keeps clear of the venues, protecting himself from the constant threat of relapse. But he’s hard-pressed to find a “local” pub without pokies. Ten more machines on top of 95 already at Zagame’s is more significant than it seems, Mr Cummings said. Zagame’s had successfully added 10 machines in 2015. In the same period, its annual pokies revenue jumped by $1.7 million - more than 500 per cent higher than the projected impact. In the same period, annual pokies spending in Casey went up by $5.4 million. The municipality’s venues piled up the second-highest revenue from pokies in the state - $125 million in 2015’16. Put it another way, that’s $342,000 a day lost down the slots. “The question is why do they need 10 more,” Mr Cummings said. “It is the 10th highest pokies spending venue in the state, the highest in Casey and they’re on track to make $18 million (in 2016-’17) with the machines that they’ve got.” Mr Cummings concedes it’s an uphill battle to convince the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation to reject the application. The commission’s nett social benefit test was a flawed formula, Mr Cummings said. In most cases, the VCGLR considers the money made by the venue outweighs the potential community harm, even when opposed by the local council and residents, he said.

“The only way is to get a lot of people to stand up against them.” For the past seven years, Mr Cummings has campaigned for reform on his blog-site, Cyenne. He is forming a petition, preparing his opposing submission and urging others to make their voices heard. “I believe the general public are less accepting of pokies than they used to be,” he said. “The number of casual gamblers has dropped, even though losses keep going up.”

Casey Council has invited public submissions into its social impact assessment of the Zagame’s proposal. Casey city planning manager Nicola Ward said the assessment was being conducted to determine if the proposal would result in a net community benefit or detriment. The council had limited grounds to oppose additional gaming machines under the state’s Gambling Regulation Act, Ms Ward said. “Council has a long-term commitment to re-

ducing the negative impacts of gambling from EGMs in Casey, particularly within our more vulnerable communities. “Council’s position remains that there be no new machines in community areas of high social and economic disadvantage.” Mr Cummings said the council should think “long and hard” on the $125 million lost by its residents each year on pokies. As well as the social services that are placed under pressure, and its duty of care to its constituents, he added. Zagame’s didn’t respond to Star News by deadline. Submissions to the council assessment close on 23 June. Details: www.casey.vic.gov.au/council/newspublications/public-notices/PN-Gaming-Machines-Zagames

Letters

Run for the fun Students at St Francis De Sales Primary School in Lynbrook have raised almost $7000 for their school after hosting a CUA School Fun Run. The students got out into the community and garnered local support for their cause through community interaction and engagement. The fun run not only engaged the students in a healthy activity, but also promoted responsible financial management and goal-setting. “Not only could everyone get out of the classroom and exercise, but the students were keen to set and meet their fund-raising targets so they could earn prizes like scooters and sporting equipment, which of course promote further healthy activity,“ fun run organiser Brooke said. “Parents enthusiastically supported the initiative as it steered their kids away from traditional fund-raising efforts which often involve selling junk food.” The CUA Fun Run also promotes healthy habits at home by providing students and parents with tools and tips to encourage families to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

Dear people on council, In my view of it, there could be a connection between “open spaces“ and “environment corridors" which council promised to protect after the People’s Panel, and what happened in the rates review last time. It’s online that in the rates review last time, proposals were made to provide some rate rebates. However the council has knocked back all four proposals. I would like to support two of those proposals again. These were incentives in the form of a rates rebate for residents for retaining and managing heritage properties, and for larger properties, starting at one hectare. I understand there is no monetary incentive for people on larger properties to keep and maintain these, and not just subdivide. In terms of a rates rebate, while 70 per cent may have been a big ask, surely 40 per cent rebate or 50 per cent might be a better compromise. Karen Young, Casey.

A better path It is interesting to read comments by Judith Graley, see “Probe call over mayor", (Cam Lucadou-Wells, Berwick News, Thursday, 1 June), calling for a probe into any breach of the local government code of conduct, by Casey mayor Sam Aziz, as he has threatened to sue Berwick Springs residents for speaking out over the controversial Berwick Springs roundabout this year. Judith Graley MP states the mayor should be open to opposing views and he is misusing ratepayers’ resources attacking the people he should be representing. No-one will disagree with this Ms Graley. But why didn’t you call for an investigation last year when Casey Council rewarded its senior management with a $250,000 “bonus" for writing a failed rate-cap variation submission to the Essential Services Commission? In recent years, Casey Council has also wasted considerable amounts in undisclosed legal fees prosecuting frivolous cases against local residents instead of seeking solutions through negotiation; as in the case of Mr Nigel William Bryan from Narre Warren South. Casey Council has a leadership problem when its mayor wants to dictate policy to residents instead of seeking a collaborative approach with all Casey residents and ratepayers. Casey has the resources, but we have a serious leadership problem.

Leadership means a mayor willing to communicate and negotiate with everyone to find a way forward on all issues. Threatening people with frivolous litigation shows that the Casey mayor lacks the

confidence and capacity to deal with complex matters and changing expectations in the municipality. John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

Ray’s

say

Socially speaking On Wednesday 31 May, the Cranbourne Berwick News published a story on Facebook about Joshua Hagen. The 32-yearold man from Cranbourne was found outside the Dandenong Police Station with a loaded, double-barrelled sawn-off shotgun, a balaclava, a hockey mask and the drug ‘ice’. The court was told Hagen had no “malicious intention” and he was merely dropping off clothes to his locked-up mate. Our Facebook audience was not impressed with the excuses and here is how they reacted: Emma Gainsford: No intent? What was he going to a fancy dress party? Seriously?! Margaret Monello Vasilakis: I know right!

Because it’s normal to drive around with a sawn-off shotgun for s**** and giggles! No malicious intent!? Yeah right! Once again our justice system fails! Charlton Koh: Seriously Hagen’s lawyer has a weird logic on him being a prohibited person with a loaded double-barrelled shotgun with five spare cartridges in front of Dandenong police station and also in possession of methamphetamine, and possessing a firearm without a serial number, a balaclava, a hockey mask and the drug ‘ice’ and had no “malicious intention"? Which law school does he graduate from? North Korea?

Dust deadline bust

Noisy mynas are in the gun

By Cam Lucadou-Wells An accused dust polluter in Hallam faces a possible fine after missing its first reporting deadline to the state environment watchdog. Folino Plant Hire, which runs Supreme Organic Soils on O’Grady Road, could be fined more than $7700 for failing to file a site layout plan to alleviate the clouds of dust plaguing neighbouring businesses and homes. Environment Protection Authority Victoria regional manager Marleen Matthias said the EPA was following up with Folino to understand why the 31 May deadline was not met. When asked about Folino’s compliance, company director Frank Folino told Star News: “That’s between me and the EPA.” Folino had been slapped with an EPA pollution abatement notice requiring it to stop dust plumes escaping from its mulch, soil and grass yard. Both Folino and a neighbouring mulch yard owned by Bark King Group have been given until 31 August to increase their dust control measures and not impact on their neighbours. Unlike Folino, Bark King had submitted its required site layout plan to the EPA by 31 May. The EPA is assessing the plan, which was required to set out the orientation and location of its mulch piles, grinding and screening plant and loading bays to prevent dust emissions. Bark King manager Stuart Johnston told Star News: “You work around these things.” If the companies fail to comply

Mountains of mulch in a yard off O'Grady Road, Hallam. 163262 with the order, they face fines of up to $770,300. According to the notices, excessive rates of dust deposits from the yards had coated a neighbouring industrial workplace. The highest reading of dust in nearby Bolt Court was 9.42 grams per square metre per month in January - more than double the fourgram amenity standard in NSW. “Numerous potential sources of

dust are present on your premises and likely to be a source of dust emissions,” the notices stated to Bark King Group and Folino Plant Hire. Hampton Park residents living about 300 metres south of the yards have also long complained of dust pollution. The residents in Rowland Close and Glenora Way report regular and severe hay-fever, skin hives, asthma

Picture: GARY SISSONS attacks, coughing and sore eyes suffered by children, young and old residents alike. Nearby workers tell of the need to hose down vehicles daily and to keep factory doors constantly closed due to the dusty emissions. The EPA has confirmed that O’Grady Road, which is unsealed and Casey council-managed, was not the “primary contributor” of the dust.

Casey Council officers have been urged to remove or eliminate a noisy flock of Indian myna birds nesting in a nature-strip tree in Hallam. At the 6 June council meeting, councillor Wayne Smith successfully moved for action against an estimated 150 of the introduced pest species as a “matter of extreme urgency”. Residents in Charles Avenue were concerned about the “prolific” noise as well as the health risks from the thick coat of bird droppings on the road and kerbside under the tree, Cr Smith said. He said Casey officers’ response that “there’s nothing we can do” didn’t meet the ‘pub test’. “This is a situation where the council made it quite clear that the nature strip is council property and a tree on that land is council’s tree. “We can’t say we can’t do anything about it. It is our problem.” Cr Rosalie Crestani said people were allowed to kill Indian mynas - if they could catch them. City planning manager Nicola Ward said the birds were actually hard to catch and there were a “whole lot of risks” associated with the exercise. She warned of the risk to Casey’s reputation, noting a much-maligned push to exterminate native corellas from a Cranbourne site. That campaign resulted in a Berwick News front page depicting a corella with a gunsight on its head, Ms Ward said. There was a lot of work to do to get a program in place, including a risk assessment of the “ethics of destroying the birds”, Ms Ward said. “It’s difficult to action immediately.” A myna extermination program in Cardinia Shire had been developed over three years, leading to the purchase of traps as well as costs to dispose of and euthanase the birds, she told the council. In response to the perceived media backlash, Cr Amanda Stapledon said there were many community groups against the Indian myna. Cr Smith’s motion was passed unanimously.

Dear Luke, all’s forgiven By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey councillor Rosalie Crestani has publicly apologised to a state MP for the City of Casey failing to respond to his letters since August. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan had told State Parliament in May that Casey chief executive Mike Tyler had not responded to his concerns, which were raised on behalf of residents. Or “those people who pay the CEO’s bill”, as Mr Donnellan described them. The “juvenile” silent treatment had also been meted out to Cranbourne MP Jude Perera, Mr Donnellan said. “To solve the inability of the CEO to do his duty - he gets paid $370,000, which is a very good wage - I will now start sending all letters directly to the councillors who are responsible for particular wards.” Speaking at a council meeting, Cr Crestani blamed a “systemic breakdown” within the council, which had not dealt with letters from up to 10 MPs. She stressed Mr Donnellan hadn’t been targeted in particular, there was no ill intent behind the error and that she’d like to “build bridges” with the MP. She called for a full review of the council’s communication procedures, as well as dealing with the “backlog” of unac-

Donnellan, as Roads Minister, should focus on fixing Casey’s congested road network instead of “engaging in these foolish, childish games”. “I look forward to a day to come when he works with us and not against us.”

A helping hand for the kids By Victoria Stone-Meadows A woman from Hampton Park has been rewarded for her hard work and dedication in changing people’s lives - one greeting card at a time. Kay Vrieze has been marketing and selling send-out cards for about five years. In that time her business has grown, and so have the opportunities she has afforded to young people in the City of Casey. Ms Vrieze set up the Paul Vrieze Memorial Scholarship to help young disadvantaged people in Casey complete their schooling in honour of her son, who died in a tragic car accident. She uses the profits from her business to fund the scholarship. “When our son was killed, as a family, it was devastating. He was a lovely part of our world and the same to many people,” she said. “Paul was the kind of guy who would give away his last dollar, so we thought let’s not waste his generosity and see what we can do to make a difference.” It was then that Ms Vrieze partnered with the Narre Warren Community Learning Centre to offer a scholarship that pays all the fees for young people to finish their education. Ms Vrieze was recently awarded an MLM Superstar award by business network group Motivating Mum for her work in her business and scholarship. She said she wasn’t expecting to win the award, after only having been a member of the

retired from her main job, she said she was looking forward to focusing more on growing her business and expanding the scholarship trust to help more young people. “We have two young people who have taken up the scholarship but we are very keen to get more on board.” To find out more about the helping Ms Vrieze’s vision, visit www.sendoutcards.com/60236 or call 0409 823 509.

School plan is ‘rotten fruit’

Isabella Ebenwaldner, 8, of Narre Warren North entertains the crowd during auditions in May. Rowville rapper Jack Ryan, 19, auditions for Star Search.

Their world’s a stage By Cam Lucadou-Wells Seventy singers, some as young as four and some a little more seasoned, have taken the stage for Star Search For a Cause auditions. From the auditions, 20 contestants have been now chosen for heats at Arthur Wren Hall, Hampton Park on 16 July, ahead of the grand final at Fountain

Gate in August. Organiser Louise Berkelmans said strong performances had emerged from a variety of entertainers, including an opera singer, duos and trios. Winners receive prize money, trophies, recording time but also help raise funds towards the Cancer Council’s Relay for Life.

Over the past nine years, it has raised more than $25,000 for cancer research. “This year we’ve had a huge response with donations and crowds so far,“ Ms Berkelmans said. “It’s going to be a hard job for the judges." Details: 'Star Search for a Cause’ Facebook page.

A Casey councillor has described the Building Respectful Relationships curriculum in Victorian schools as fostering “paedophilic sexualisation” of children under the guise of antibullying. Cr Rosalie Crestani told a council meeting on 6 June that the anti-family violence program stemmed from the “same rotten fruit” as the withdrawn Safe Schools program that the council objected to last year. It should be scrapped and replaced with “bloody good commonsense”, she said. “We just want to protect our kids. “It’s truly up to our parents to parent, and our education system should respect that.” Cr Crestani cited a parent who had withdrawn her blind daughter from a school that allowed a “boy in a skirt” to use the same toilets, as well as a teacher who refused to take part in Safe Schools’ “lewd material”. The teacher had said she’d rather be fired than teach the “sleazy drivel” such as porn to her students, Cr Crestani said. She also cited a police officer in Casey and Greater Dandenong who claimed cultural norms, rather than alcohol, was the major driver of

family violence. “There’s some cultures that are extremely violent, in her words,” Cr Crestani said. “There are some cultures that accept and view it as normal.” She said BRR targeted young men, though “white Anglo women” were underestimated as a culprit of emotional and physical abuse against men. Cr Crestani successfully moved for Casey to re-commit to lobbying against the program, and to convene a forum of stakeholders to consider the “premature sexualisation” of young people and the “sexual political agenda” behind the program. A similar Casey-led forum was abandoned last year due to a lack of interest, according to a council report. After a query from Cr Tim Jackson, Cr Crestani said she would invite an LGBTI community member as part of the forum. The $21.8 million Building Respectful Relationships curriculum was described by the State Government as a wholeof-school approach to ending the cycle of family violence. It included “age-appropriate” resources for learning social skills and applying them to relationships. “This is about teaching our

kids to treat everyone with respect and dignity so we can start the cultural change we need in our society to end the scourge of family violence,” Education Minister James Merlino said at the time. Cr Amanda Stapledon said the program was a form of “grooming” that sexualised children “way beyond their minds”. She said children at that age didn’t know what sexuality they were, and were being taught that transgenders were a “stolen generation”. “They get told they don’t have to be a boy or a girl.” Cr Crestani’s amendment ramped up a council report’s recommendation seeking an update from the Department of Education on the curriculum’s roll-out. Currently 10 secondary schools in Casey have implemented the curriculum in some way, the report stated. It described the curriculum as designed to “reduce family violence, build inclusiveness and cater for a diverse student population”. It noted that Casey also provided programs for young people to identify and cope with bullying or harassment, develop healthy relationships, build social connections and trust with health agencies.

Quit’s a load off the mind By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Victorian-first program to help people kick their cigarette habit is being held at a Narre Warren community mental health centre. EACH area manager Lisa Gort said it’s the first time a Quit Victoria trial will look at ways to help people with a mental illness. The two-year trial targets some of the state’s highestsmoking cohorts, including people with mental health issues, who are bucking the overall declining smoking rate. At EACH, about 80 per cent of their clients smoke. “They’ve realised their approach has to be different for people with a mental illness,” Ms Gort said. “There’s a large number of people with mental health issues who smoke. There’s a large cohort to assist.” At the start of the trial three months ago, many clients and staff were horrified by the suggestion. “It’s a change. No-one likes change,” Ms Gort said. One of EACH’s clients, Anthony, is now the face for Quit Victoria’s latest push. In a promotional video, he describes how good he feels after beating his 30-year addiction to cigarettes.

EACH client Anthony, on a Quit Victoria video, says he feels better for kicking his 30-year cigarette habit. “I’d smoke up to 25 a day. That would increase with my anxiety. “When I was suffering badly with anxiety, I’d smoke pretty much one after the other.” In psych wards, despite a no-smoking edict, people were allowed to get away with smoking. “They turned a blind eye because smoking and mental health go hand in hand together. But it’s not helping.” Anthony quit in April 2016 after an uncle warned that smoking would kill him. People tended to give it up only on their deathbed, he was told. “Financially, it’s put a whole lot of money in my pocket. “I’ve got more weight on,

but I’ve got more capacity in my lungs. I feel healthier.” His EACH support worker provided crucial, regular encouragement. She was one of many supports available for smokers wanting to quit, he said. “You have to build your willpower to want to stop. Get as much help and advice as you can. “It’s going to do you good. It will allow your medication to work a lot better.” Ms Gort said EACH support workers could take on the role of a quit-smoking “coach” if a client decides to make the first step. Over the trial, workers review with the clients how much they’re smoking a day, how much it has cost the hip-pocket as well as their satisfaction levels. “Any reduction is a change in the right direction. We say we don’t expect you to give up smokes today. “There’s not one strategy that fits everyone.” Help includes nicotine replacement products under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme - with a doctor’s referral, the Quit hotline and Quit’s online resources. The pilot concludes in December 2018.

Red Cross needs fresh blood By Cam Lucadou-Wells Narre Warren North’s Red Cross branch is calling for an injection of youth into its ranks. The 78-year-old branch carries a vital fund-raising tradition in the town from the beginnings of World War II, but numbers are dwindling. As member Margaret Luxford puts it: “It would be a shame to let that legacy go.” She said the branch members were keeping the flag flying for a worthy cause, but had lost several long-serving members in recent years. “It would be disastrous if the

branch could not continue the legacy of the efforts of the dedicated foundation members.” Looking back at the branch’s early minutes, up to 40 members organised afternoon teas, and sourced 100 skeins of wool, flannelette, buttons and cotton to make jumpers and pyjamas. They set up dances, bazaars and sessions playing the card game euchre to raise funds for the then-Berwick and District Patriotic Committee. The members collected tins of food for needy families and medical equipment to loan to the public. These days, the branch rat-

tles tins at the local supermarket and has an annual birthday bash to raise money for Red Cross. Members also serve hot drinks and food to donors at the visiting blood-bank every three months. Ms Luxford said younger members were welcome to join to “rev us up a bit” and help raise more awareness and funds for Red Cross’s humanitarian aid locally and overseas “We enjoy the socialising but fund-raising is the main objective.” Details: Margaret Luxford, 9707 1452.

A good fight By Cam Lucadou-Wells A tireless Berwick campaigner is fighting for a government subsidy for a life-saving treatment for the cruel disease Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Julie Cini, chief executive of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Australia, is calling for the drug Spinraza to be listed on the Federal Government’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Without a PBS listing, the miraculous treatment is prohibitively costed at more than AUD $1 million for 12 months. It is the second most expensive drug proposed for the subsidy, but Ms Cini says it is the only hope for SMA children who otherwise have a short life expectancy. Spinraza wards off the crippling symptoms of SMA that take away a child’s motor function in their legs, arms and eventually their muscles to breathe. It is an invasive procedure, involving an injection of protein into the spine. “It’s a life and death choice,” Ms Cini says. “What price can you put on a child’s life?” Ms Cini’s campaign has been backed by Holt MP Anthony Byrne, who described the disease as the childhood version of Motor Neurone Disease. “This drug offers hope for those families who currently have no other options for treatment,” Mr Byrne said. Mr Byrne praised Ms Cini for her tireless work since she

Along the way, Ms Cini lost her two daughters to SMA and her partner in a car accident. “While most people would be unable to cope with such tragedy and loss, Julie became inspired to help other families so that there would hopefully come a day where they do not have to suffer as she did,” Mr Byrne said. “I congratulate Julie on her amazing efforts on behalf of all those families with those experiencing Spinal Muscular

Atrophy.” He called on the government to fast-track consideration of the drug to the Therapeutic Goods Administration and Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee. Ms Cini said a PBS listing would help fulfil her pledge to her late daughters. “To see an effective treatment available for those with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and to be able to give the gift of hope to families makes the countless hours of fund-raising worth it.”

The top all-rounders By Cam Lucadou-Wells Four students from Nossal High School shone at the 2016 Premier’s VCE Awards. Remarkably, two of the students Mary Pham and Xinying (Bonnie) Deng were in Year 11 when they earned Study Awards as the top students in the state in a particular subject. Mary was awarded for excellence in her Unit 3/4 in philosophy, and Bonnie for her aplomb at Chinese Second Language Advanced, studied at the Chinese Culture School in Glen Waverley. Former student Ashan Wimalaratne was one of 25 students in the state identified as a Top All-Rounder VCE High Achiever. Ashan earned scores of 46 or higher in at least five VCE subjects in 2015 and 2016. He is now studying a Bachelor of Medial Science at Griffith University. Jessica Lieng received a Study Award in Health and Human Development in 2016. She also shared her talents as a tutorial leader, maths peer coach and girls soccer team coach at the school, and took part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. At the awards held on 27 April, 287 Victorian students were recognised for their high achievement. Principal Roger Page said credit should go to the students as well as their families and teachers for their tuition, encouragement and mentoring. “These awards continue the tradition of Nossal students achieving outstanding academic results as part of their full personal development.”

Berwick College students turned their minds to national reconciliation on 1 June. During the National Reconciliation Week, student Holly - one of 27 Indigenous students at the school - marked two significant anniversaries during a speech to her peers. One was the 50th anniversary of the landmark 1967 referendum, which led to Aboriginal people being recognised as voters and in the national census for the first time. The week also marked the 25th anniversary of the Mabo decision - a High Court verdict that found the First Australians were the traditional custodians of Australian land. Holly said the week built upon the respectful relationships shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians. Aunty Marg Worn also addressed students, sharing her experience growing up as an Aboriginal student.

Local firm named bright spark By Helena Adeloju

Police on scene at the robbery in Cranbourne North.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Store robbed twice A bottle shop in Cranbourne North has been robbed for the second time in under a week, with staff members attacked by armed thugs on Tuesday night. Police are seeking witnesses to the violent robbery that occurred at a liquor store on William Thwaites Boulevard shortly after 9pm. Three male offenders with their faces covered and wearing hoodies entered the store armed with a gun and a knife. One of the store attendants suffered multiple stab wounds to his upper body during the robbery and was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Another staff member at the store was also assaulted and suffered minor injuries to his face. The thugs left the store emptyhanded and fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction. Investigating Officer Chris Nieuwesteeg from the Southern Metro Regional Crime Team said the thieves left behind a valuable piece of evidence. “A knife was located at the scene that has possibly been used in the attack,� he said. The incident echoes a robbery from Thursday 1 June, where two males entered the same bottle shop with similar face coverings, armed with a knife just before 6.30pm.

On this occasion the robbers threatened the shop attendant but did not physically attack anyone and managed to steal cash and alcohol from the store. While police have not ruled out the two crimes being linked, they cannot say for certain that the two robberies were carried out by the same people or are connected. Gary Kear from the Casey Crime Investigation Unit said the incidents were remarkably similar, but police didn’t know for sure yet if the robberies were connected. “It was the same place with the robberies done a week apart and under a similar scenario,� he said. “There are parallels but no obvious connections.�

Some indoor sports teams in the City of Casey have been left out in the cold, after being given their marching orders from the Casey Indoor Sports Centre. Indoor sports teams including AFL, soccer, tennis, beach volleyball and archery have not had their lease renewed at the centre, which is undergoing an $18.3 million renovation. The Casey Indoor Leisure Centre - which will be re-named Casey Stadium when the renovations are complete - will be home to extra basketball and netball courts, cricket pitches and gymnastics rather than the many other sports that previously operated out of the building. Group manager of active communities at Casey Council James Rouse said the two-part development of the centre would allow for different sports to be based there. “Part one is the regional basketball and netball facility which is currently undergoing an $18.3 million extension and upgrade,” he said. “Part two is the indoor sports component, which is about to undergo a redevelopment.” “That will see it re-purposed as a regional gymnastics, indoor cricket (capable of hosting state and national tournaments) and multi-sport venue with capacity for volleyball, badminton, wheelchair sports and more.” However, former sports co-ordinator at the centre Adrian Vella, who ran the indoor AFL, soccer and beach volleyball for eight years said it was made clear there was no room for these sports at the new centre. “They have re-purposed the use of all the areas we used in the centre,” he said. “If they are planning on offering

said many parents were not given any warning about the changes. “Neither the parents, children or coaches were given any warning, with just over one week’s notice that all these sports would be finishing up to make way for basketball and netball,” she said. “Basketball and netball already had over eight courts allocated at the centre, so now all the other sports clubs are scrambling to find a venue and time to continue.” Ms Elliot said without support from council and with limited alternatives, some of the clubs may have to fold without a stable place to play. “Cranbourne is already over-populated this is going to be a mammoth effort with several sports clubs unfortunately already discussing the idea of disbanding,” she said. “There are no other venues, or venues that can be afforded for the sports or parents that are involved.” Mr Vella has been in discussions with Cranbourne Indoor Sports, based not far from the Casey Indoor Sports centre to allow for his junior soccer team to continue. The YMCA will be responsible for the management of the re-developed sports centre and the centre manager, Ian Jenkins, said YMCA planned to offer a variety of sports from the new centre. “The City of Casey is undertaking the redevelopment of the centre and upon completion, the YMCA has committed to offer a range of sports and program,” he said. “The centre will host a variety of sports including basketball, netball, indoor cricket and gymnastics and also cater for numerous sports-based programs.”

Why should Preston be treated better than Pakenham? When it comes to successfully fighting fires, two things are critical. Time, and a proven combination of seven professional fire fighters being dispatched. In suburbs like Preston within metro Melbourne, two professional fire crews are dispatched as soon as the emergency call is received, to be on site within eight minutes. This eight minute window is critical for success, because after that the fire becomes so intense it reaches a flash point

and engulfs the rest of the property almost immediately. However, communities like Pakenham are considered ‘country’ when it comes to their fire response. This means only one professional crew is being dispatched, backed up by an unknown number of volunteers. Consequently, the eight minute window isn’t being met in many cases, putting your lives and property at risk.

We believe the safest and most sensible way forward is to modernise our fire services by creating a single career fire fighting and rescue service that looks after all of Melbourne equally. And importantly, to do this without affecting our volunteer fire fighting services and their surge capacity.

He’s among the final 11 contestants on Channel Nine talent contest The Voice following a captivating performance on the first live show of the series. The 18-year-old sang Elton John classic Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word and received enough votes from viewers to take him through to the next round. “I gave it my all for my performance and getting through to next week is just a blessing,” he wrote on Facebook. Viewers are raving about the Dandenong High School Year 12 student, who’s on coach Boy George’s team. “Think Boy has himself a winner here, I stopped what I was doing and turned my head at the sound of that voice. Captivating,” one wrote on The Voice Australia Facebook page. Another said: “Hoseah sings like an angel. His whole face expresses the song. You look so gentle with a good sense of humour. I do sincerely hope you win.” Hoseah said the competition was all about having fun and doing what he loved. He told the News that he auditioned for The Voice “for my family”. “We’ve had a rough lifestyle growing up, my mum being a single parent with four kids,” he said. “There’s days when we don’t have food on the table.” Hoseah will next appear on The Voice on Sunday 11 June at 7pm on Nine.

Gazette special centenary edition

EDITION

“Fifty not out! It’s a fair score; but we are out to chalk up a century”. So wrote Pakenham Gazette proprietor Herb Thomas in the edition of 5 May 1967, marking the newspaper’s 50th anniversary. Well, four generations of the Thomas family can now raise their bats - having notched that century on 11 May, 2017. The region’s premier newspaper celebrates the occasion with a special 100th anniversary edition this week, which includes a replica copy of that very first Gazette of 11 May 1917. The business was founded by Albert Edward Thomas in Berwick in 1909 and the worth of the Berwick Shire News and Pakenham and Cranbourne Gazette newspaper became widely known, prompting a group of Pakenham businesspeople to persuade Albert to move his business there in 1917. The masthead turned around to

the Pakenham Gazette and Berwick Shire News, produced out of an old wooden building in Main Street, Pakenham. By this stage, Herb was firmly entrenched in the family business and had unknowingly embarked upon a long and dedicated service to the Pakenham community. In May 1919 the family bought a prime half acre block between the shire hall and the Presbyterian Church, on which a home was built by 1922 and a new office fronting Main Street in 1935 (which sold only recently). Albert died in 1948 and for a short time his wife Elizabeth published the newspaper. Herb noted in that 50th anniversary editorial that his mother “had always been an inspiration to her husband in his work, and played an important part in establishing the newspaper at a time

Pakenham Gazette notches a century

The special centenary edition of the Pakenham-Berwick Gazette this week provides a snapshot of local history and the moments that made news over the past century and beyond. Pakenham’s first residents are revealed as Michael and Catherine Bourke, who opened up Bourke’s Hotel at the junction of Toomuc Creek and the old Gippsland coach road (now Princes Highway). Hotels played a big part in early life and their origins make interesting reading. Bourke’s Hotel also made statewide headlines back in the day for a brutal murder on the premises. Local history buff Heather Arnold shares here favourite stories and images from her work at the Casey Cardinia Library. The coverage of natural disasters - mainly fire and flood - is recalled and sporting endeavours have not been ignored. Sports editor Dave Nagel caught up with the two surviving members of an iconic photo of Bourke and Monckton family members in the old wooden dressing sheds before a football game in the 1950s. To get a feel of local history, pick up your copy of the special centenary issue in newsagents, supermarkets and other outlets, or subscribe online. SOUVENIR

Fifty not out! It’s a fair score; but we are out to chalk up a century… HERB THOMAS

He acquired every skill needed in the industry and, like other family members, could turn his hand to journalism and photography, as well as production requirements. Ian and his wife Dorothy became the third generation of the Thomas family to head up the business when Herb died suddenly on 13 July 1979. Dorothy came into the business to initially support Ian, who suddenly found himself confronted by an enormous task and responsibility. She was well set for a career in education and brought these skills to the role of editor, which she held for 19 years before retiring in 1997. Ian led the company into full

By 1984 the business was bulging out of the Main Street office, and expanded into the recently vacated former council offices next door and simultaneously set up a satellite office in Berwick. In November 1987, the company made the significant step of launching its first free paper, the Berwick City News, to service the then City of Berwick. Cranbourne News was

to follow in the wake of council amalgamations in 1995 and Pakenham-Officer news in 2003. Ian and Dorothy’s son Paul joined the company in July 1992 and was instrumental in developing the company’s third newspaper, the South Eastern Real Estate News. When Ian retired in 1999 he handed the reins to his son Paul, who has taken the company to another level again. Paul has overseen another incredible period of growth for what is now a multi-platform media company, with its footprint spreading up

The Gazette is now provided on three platforms - epaper, online and in print. “We update our online news as soon as it happens with an online first news reporting philosophy so that our readers and our community get their facts promptly,” Paul says in the centenary edition. “We are proud of our history and the difference we have been able to make to this community, and with your continued support we hope we can continue this for many years to come.”

Community kudos for Thomas family Community leaders have congratulated Star News Group and the Thomas family on the Pakenham-Berwick Gazette’s centenary milestone. Cardinia mayor Brett Owen said that from the first edition in May 1917 right up until today, the Gazette has remained a strong and influential voice in our community. “The Gazette has been a vital link between council and our community, helping to keep residents informed of council elections, decisions, policies, programs and activities,” Cr Owen said. “A lot of change has occurred over the past century, but one thing has remained constant - the Gazette’s commitment to keeping our residents informed and engaged about issues that matter to them.” Bass MP Brian Paynter, whose father ran the newsagency for years, said the Pakenham area was indebted to the Thomas family for their long-standing commitment to providing a quality, independent local newspaper for our weekly enjoyment. “Finding the right combination of stories is the essential ingredient in creating a great local newspaper and the Gazette has found the perfect balance,” Mr Paynter said. “Current affairs, coverage of events, stories of local interest, a touch of gossip and of course the best coverage of local sport anywhere in the state has kept the Gazette the perfect partner for my Wednesday morning coffee.” Gembrook MP Brad Battin said he grew up with The Gazette. “The change in the area is huge, seven families a day moving in, new schools, new train stations and many new businesses,” Mr Battin said. “One thing remains, the Gazette is part of our community, not just writing the news, but supporting sport and community groups.”

■ Fuming residents ticked off at being ignored by mining company…

Quarry hopes buried By Bonny Burrows Furious residents have slammed the company behind the controversial Bunyip North quarry proposal for ignoring their concerns. At an emotionally charged public meeting on 23 March, residents of Bunyip, Garfield and surrounding communities met with Hanson Construction Materials, expecting to have an open discussion. Instead, residents have slammed the meeting as a “waste of time”. Mount Cannibal and District Preservation Group treasurer David Bywater said Bunyip Hall was “chock-a-block full” of residents wanting an update on the 134-hectare granite quarry, mooted for a site about 500 metres from local icon Mount Cannibal. “But then the new project manager came in and said it was decided the content of the meeting was not about community information, but the process of the EES (Environmental Effects Statement),” Mr Bywater said. “We said, ‘that’s OK as long as you answer questions’, which they agreed to.” However, the open discussion was short lived, with tempers quickly flaring as Hanson deflected questions. Dodging community concerns, which included the proposed quarry’s quarry s close proximity to houses, loss of water supply and possible health risks from the silica dusk - a carcinogenic byproduct of mining granite, Mr Bywater said the company provided no answers and instead spruiked the EES process.

He said the community was disappointed by the meeting. “Not one question that was put - and there would have been 30 plus questions put - not one was successfully, honestly or completely answered,” Mr Bywater said. “It seems the whole point of the meeting was for Hanson to tick off one of the requirements of the EES which is to engage with the community.” The EES was ordered by State Planning Minister Richard Wynne in 2015 to identify the large-scale project’s significant environmental effects and propose measures to reduce these. According to those in attendance, Hanson told the estimated 100-person crowd that it was just beginning the statement - due to take two years “however there are no red flags”. Mr Bywater said he just about fell over. “How can they say there are no red flags when they haven’t done the EES?” he said. Accusing the company of trying to “water down” the environmental impacts,, Mr Bywater said it was pretty p y p y clear “if you dig a big hole there’s going to be problems”, particularly at the planned location - the former home of the Tonimbuk Equestrian Centre. There were 71 homes within one one and a half kilometres of the site and another 10 within half a kilometre, and a string of wildlife which would be impacted by the development, Mr Bywater said, yet the company didn’t seem to care.

BUILDER’S FAMILY FOCUS

KIALLA HOMES

FROM PAGE 1 GET the perfect mix of period features and modern finishes in that next home, to create a space that is uniquely yours. Designing a new home can be a daunting experience, and it’s understandable considering the owners will be living there for a long time. Making mistakes or having regrets in the design or building process is not something anyone want to be living with. That’s why it is so important to find the right team to work with from the start. The team at Kialla Homes endeavour to understand their client’s needs from the outset, to ensure there are no regrets later on. With customisability options to their designs, the opportunity to create that dream home has never been more achievable. Jackson Hills is the third member of his family to come through Kialla in 30 years. He has followed in both his grandfather’s and father’s footsteps before him, and is now a sales consultant who strives to make the sometimes daunting process easier for clients. “My grandfather worked for Kialla Homes for many years, then my dad followed after and then I did an apprenticeship with my father. I was introduced to the business from a young age, because our family has had such a close working relationship with the owners of Kialla, it was always part of our family and seemed only natural that I would start working at Kialla,” Jackson said. “As a consultant, I believe it’s crucial

to be available at all times for my clients. Even well after the job is complete. This is something I am extremely passionate about, I love what I do and being able to help people build their dream is a great way to make a living. “From the day you decide to look at one of our homes, to dropping off the deposit, to getting your keys. I will be there for you every step of the way. Building a home is a very personal decision and I make sure I’m there to help every step of the process. Original period homes are becoming few and far between, with many being knocked down and re-built, instead of preserving the history that tells a story of generations past. Kialla Homes specialises in catering to a niche market of homeowners who desire classic period features. Kialla Homes are not your traditional off-the-plan specialists. “We not only build on slabs but stumps as well, allowing for the all the steep blocks and catering to people’s views that

are such a prominent part of the local landscape,” Jackson said. “We build on narrow blocks, on acreage, across the block and sites that have a significant slope, that many builders won’t touch and of course we also do quite a few knockdown rebuilds. “Being able to help clients create their dream home is what we are all about. Incorporating their own individual flare into our designs or having them visit our architect to sit down, customise and create their own plan really does help bring that dream to life,” Jackson said. “In the building and construction industry, honesty is everything. We are transparent in what we do, and allow potential clients the opportunity to shop around. We want what’s best for them, regardless of whether they end up with us or someone else. “Pakenham is a very small town, if we had burned people along the way we wouldn’t still be in business after 32 years,” he said.

BERWICK

afford a whole lot for your home! In relation to income, banks will always consider any wage as part of a legitimate income source. If you work in or operate a cash business and your income is ‘off the books’, a lender will not consider that income toward your serviceability calculation. If you want to avoid paying taxes by earning a cash wage it is going to affect your ability to buy a house. If you are self-employed, make sure your tax returns are filed and completed each financial year. Ensure all tax obligations like GST and PAYG are up to date and paid, and try to make your net profit result as positive as it can be. The benefits of declaring operating losses from a tax perspective are positive, however when it comes to borrowing for a home loan it is extremely detrimental. For those of you who are on pensions (old age or disability), unfortunately lenders will not consider that as legitimate income toward your serviceability requirements. However, if you are a parent who claims family tax benefit part A and part B, lenders will consider that as part of your legitimate income in the serviceability calculation.

Your Health Your Image Finding your sparkle AN exclusive women’s only practice, Embrace Emotional Wellness Centre in Beaconsfield is devoted to encouraging women to embrace their imperfections and celebrate what makes them authentically unique. The centre is run by Syndi Grambau and Bronwyn Raffaut and they are inviting women to attend the Enlightenment and the Empowerment collection workshops. The workshops offer a unique therapeutic opportunity for women to discover their selfworth, inner strength, core values and inner resilience. “The Enlightenment and the Empowerment collections are perfect for women who struggle with implementing boundaries, often start or finish sentences with ‘I’m not good enough’, find it difficult saying no or struggle to put themselves first and feel guilty for doing so,” Syndi said. Both the Enlightenment and Empowerment workshops are designed to support women to choose a workshop that suits their particular needs. While the Enlightenment workshops con-

sist of individual classes that introduce a new topic each session, the Empowerment workshop is an intensive step-up program that Syndi describes as “truly transformational”. “Women who dare to ‘show up and be seen’ in these transformational works find their inner beauty and their lives become fuller, richer, more meaningful and wholehearted,” Syndi said. “They cultivate and nurture resilience, selfcompassion, empathy and creativity. They find their sparkle!” While the Enlightenment workshops can be attended individually or sequentially with sessions offered over the term and generally running for two hours, the Empowerment workshops can either be completed as two-hour sessions over 10 weeks or as a three-day intensive retreat. Embrace Emotional Wellness Centre is located at 25 Wood Street, Beaconsfield. To find out more call 0459 295 526, visit embracekindness.com.au or like them on Facebook at facebook.com/embracekindness1.

Reconciliation Week marked By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey City Council held a number of events to mark National Reconciliation Week across the municipality, with local Indigenous Elders as well as young first peoples generations. A flag-raising ceremony was held on Monday 29 May at the Casey Council Offices, where the Indigenous flag was raised above the council building as a mark of recognition and respect. Indigenous students from Hampton Park Secondary College also delivered a speech about what reconciliation means to them and what it is like living as a young Indigenous person in Casey. Council also hosted a session at the Casey Aboriginal Gathering Place in Doveton on Tuesday, 30 May to celebrate the local Indigenous history and to pause for reflection and remembrance of local Indigenous peoples. 2017 National Reconciliation Week ran from 27 May to 3 June and marked 50 years since the 1967 referendum, and 25 years since the historic Mabo decision.

In the 1967 referendum more than 90 per cent of Australians voted to amend the constitution to include Aboriginal people in the census and allow the Commonwealth to create laws for them. The Mabo decision saw six of the seven High Court judges uphold a claim that the lands of this continent were not terra nullius or ‘land belonging to no-one’ when European settlement occurred. Following the Mabo decision in 1992, the way was opened for claims by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to their traditional rights to land and compensation. The City of Casey sits on the traditional land of the Bunurong and Wurundjeri People and has the highest number of indigenous residents of any council in metropolitan Melbourne. In the 2011 Census, Casey Council recorded 1455 residents from Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background, with 45 per cent of these residents between 0-17 years of age.

Indigenous students from Hampton Park Secondary Michaela, Ben, Destiny and Mikayla spoke at the council's flag-raising ceremony about being a young Indigenous person in the 21st century. 168705 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Afghan immigrant has a heart for stone By Casey Neill “It’s like turning something dead into something alive.” Afghan-born Australian Mohammed Ali Razamani has been a sculptor for more than 30 years. “When he was introduced to stone, he fell in love with it,” his son Aref said. That love shines through in the travertine table he created for the refugee art project Heartlands. The stone carving is on display at Dandenong’s Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre until Sunday 2 July and will also be shown at the Atrium at Federation Square in Melbourne in September and the Box Hill Community Arts Centre in October. Mohammed, from Hampton Park,

said a handmade wooden basket he used back in his hometown in Afghanistan inspired the piece. It took him only 20 days to create the curved table bottom, including an intricate flower design. He started working with stone in 1991 and later established his own company in the industrial city of Herat, Afghanistan. “In 2014 I started to import travertine stone from Iran to Australia and started my stone decoration work here in Australia,” he said. “I can proudly say I can make anything out of stone. “Some of the problems that prevent me from entering the Australian stone decoration market is language and my lack of knowledge about Australian stone industry.

“I am willing to partner up with those who are in stone industry in Australia and willing to help me enter the market and provide them my stone work.” Mohammed and his family fled Afghanistan in 2009 and arrived in Australia by boat.

“Our lives were in danger,” Aref said. “We risked everything just to get to a safe place.” Migrant and refugee settlement agency AMES Australia presents the Heartlands exhibition to provide a glimpse into the experiences, hopes,

dreams and passions of the millions of humans displaced by conflict. It features painting, music, poetry, sculpture, engraving and masks from artists hailing from Syria, Afghanistan, Tibet, Poland, Iran, Myanmar and Zimbabwe. “The aim of the project is to transcend cultural barriers to reveal the hopes, dreams, challenges and everyday lives of people who make up our refugee communities,” AMES Australia CEO Cath Scarth said.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Electricity price danger By Casey Neill Rising electricity prices are as big a danger to South East manufacturers as the decline of the auto industry. But South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden warned it wasn’t just businesses at risk. “Households need to be looking at their power bills,” he said. “They need to be calling other companies.” Mr Boden said governments needed to address the issue or risk job losses and stunted business growth. “It’s the primary issue we have on the table for manufacturing today,” he said. SEMMA is negotiating a bulk-buy deal for about 40 of its members. Its three-year deal for six cents per kilowatt runs out on 30 June. “Our best deal that we’ve managed to find, which is probably going to be a two-year agreement, is about 14 cents,” Mr Boden said. “If you look over the last 18 months the increase has been about 300 per cent for a lot of companies. “It’s opportunism. It’s got nothing to do with real cost. “The cost of production of the power is no more expensive than it was two years ago. “We have one company we’re working with who believe that this would put their company out of business. “They were buying at 5.6 cents. They were being quoted about 18 cents. For them it would be a massive hit. “It would become the largest part of their monthly bill, over employees, over everything else.” He said one Dandenong South company’s

Homeowners are being told that they should also put pressure on electricity companies. power bills had gone from $40,000 per month to $120,000. Mr Boden said businesses that tried to absorb the increases would lose profit, leaving less cash for investing in their future. The alternatives are to cut jobs or try to pass the increase to customers “which is almost impossible”. He said increasing gas prices were adding salt

to the wound. Mr Boden said that one Dandenong company’s gas bill increased by 140 per cent in the past year. “They are being quizzed by their international owners as to how come they can buy Australian gas at a cheaper price than he can,” he said. “All of the states and the Federal Government should work in collaboration to review what they can do to influence that marketplace.”

A spokesperson for the Federal Department of the Environment and Energy said the government was taking action. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is reviewing retail electricity prices, they said, with a report due on 30 June next year. The spokesperson said the government was also working to increase gas supply and suppliers to lower electricity prices. A spokesman for Victorian Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the government’s VEET scheme provided businesses with access to discounted energy-efficient products through accredited providers. “The Boosting Productivity initiative is also helping businesses to cut energy costs, with energy bills savings of $50,000 per year, on average, for participating businesses,” he said. “We’re also helping Victorian manufacturers and businesses manage the impacts of a volatile national gas market.” Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said it was clear the energy market was in transition and the government would support industry through it. “We didn’t abandon the auto industry and we won’t abandon our manufacturers,” she said. Bruce MP Julian Hill said the lack of clear framework for industry to invest in new electricity generation was driving up power prices. “The Australian Energy Council has stated ‘the lack of national policy certainty is now the single biggest driver of higher electricity prices’,” he said. Mr Hill said the government should adopt an Emissions Intensity Scheme for the electricity sector to help fix the power crisis and a permanent national interest test for the gas market so that Australian businesses and households were at the front of the queue.

Disabled soccer is onside By Victoria Stone-Meadows A new soccer team, part of the Berwick City Club that caters for children and young people with a disability, is calling out for members. The new seven-a-side team offers kids aged between five and 16 years old who are living with a disability a chance to get involved in a sports team. The new team is being run by volunteer at the soccer club Jo Clemens, who understands how difficult it can be to have an active child living with a disability. When her son Will was just two years old, he suffered through two major stokes, leaving him with right-side hemiplegia. Now 13 years old, the effects of the stroke have rendered the right side of Will’s body significantly weaker than his left, but Ms Clemens said he had been an active sportsman despite this. “Will has always been very active, determined and motived and just loves sports,” she said. “He couldn’t walk or talk after his strokes but during nine years of rehabilitation we found out about a soccer team in Northcote for kids with acquired brain injuries, cerebral palsy and stroke-related injuries.” Will played soccer with the team in Northcote for three years before he was recently selected for the Victorian development team run through the Football Federation of Victoria (FFV).

Since then, Ms Clemens has been pushing to have more seven-a-side teams for children with a disability closer to home. According to the FFV, seven-a-side soccer is played by footballers with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries and those with stroke-related impairments. However, Ms Clemens said the new team at Berwick City Soccer Club was open to kids with all types of disabilities. “We say it’s a relaxed atmosphere and encourage anyone to come along and have a try,” she said. “It’s a fun-based sports team that is almost a different way of doing rehabilitation with other kids, and for parents to connect in their shared experiences as well.” Ms Clemens wanted to thank the Berwick City Soccer Club for the use of the facilities at Foxes Road and for supplying a coach in the form of their women’s team star Kate Wilson. The seven-a-side team at Berwick City will have direct links to the Paralympics through the FFV, which allows the children to grow and develop their skills. The new team at Berwick City has four participants and only need three more to have a full team up and running. To find out more about the new team or to sign up, contact Jo Clemens on 0417 339 140 or Nicky Woodward on 0438 521 503.

Engine blows during pursuit By Victoria Stone-Meadows A woman from Hampton Park has been arrested after her car engine blew up during a police pursuit on Friday 2 June. The driver was detected travelling at 125km/h in an 80km/h zone on the Frankston-Cranbourne Road in Langwarrin, in a car with no number plates shortly after midnight. The 31-year-old women attempted to speed away in the silver Mitsubishi hatchback towards Peninsula Link, leading police on a chase reaching speeds of 180 km/h. The car however was not up to the task of an ongoing police

at the scene and a search of the car found an axe under the seat and a knife in the woman’s handbag. The woman was charged with 17 offences including speeding, dangerous driving while pursued by police, conduct endangering life/serious injury, disqualified driving, using an unregistered motor vehicle, possessing a controlled weapon and refusing to undergo a preliminary oral fluid test. She was bailed with strict conditions to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 21 August and the immobile Mitsubishi was also impounded for 30 days at a cost of $960.

cure community setting was also a very appealing factor. “I go overseas a few times a year, especially to visit family in Europe, so it’s nice to know there’s people looking after my home when I’m gone,” he said. “I also like the fact there’s only one entrance to the village - for security reasons nowadays, that’s comforting.” Philip was pleased to find the buying and moving process straightforward, and offered plenty of praise for the sales and construction teams. “The process has been quite simple,” he said.

Oscar’s big moment By Nick Creely

Oscar Clavarino is ready to lead a star-studded Vic Country outfit. 169220

The coming Under-18 National Championships provide Oscar Clavarino with a unique opportunity. Not only will the star young backman ply his trade in front of AFL recruiters as the most sought after key defender in this year’s draft, but he will also co-captain the Vic Country side in another chapter of his impressive development as a leader. He has a natural born leader of men, and a young man that thrives with responsibility. “To be recognised in the football region of Vic Country as a leader is really special it’s an absolutely honour,” he told Star News Group. The 18-year-old from Berwick, who is also a member of the AFL Academy, is an exceptional reader of the ball in the air and on the ground, and will be arguably the most important player for the Big V when they take to the field for the first time on Sunday. As a member of Vic Country as a bottom-ager in last year’s National Champs, Clavarino said the lessons learnt will hold him in good stead this time around. “The biggest thing I learnt from last year is simply how ruthless and switched on you have to be at that level,” he explained. “The fast ball movement and elite skills makes it especially hard as a backman but at the same time it’s a great challenge and I

Back-to-back for Demons VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE

REVIEW - ROUND 7 By Nick Creely Casey has won back-to-back matches for the first time in 2017, overcoming a spirited challenge in a scrappy 18-point victory over Coburg on Sunday afternoon. The game, played at Piranha Park, was a tussle right from the outset - with both sides looking fairly flat after the VFL had a weekend off last round. Despite the Lions seemingly settling into the contest quicker than the Demons, a late Sam Weideman goal in the first term ensured they took a four-point lead at quarter time. That lead blew out in the second term when the Demons slammed on three answered goals, but the Lions bit back and close the margin to 17-points at half time. And as the game wore on, the contest became uglier, with the skill level of both sides deplorable in some stages. In fact, the Demons had a staggering 54 inside 50s - 17 more than the Lions - yet could only kick 12 goals. But the Demons had just enough class via its AFL-listed players to hold off the Lions despite them coming hard later in the game. “Every time we come out here we get similar games,” senior coach Justin Plapp said on the club’s website. “The players were coming off the bye and I thought they looked flat with decision-making and skill errors. “I’m disappointed, but it’s a game sometimes you have just got to bank and move on.” A string of AFL players had strong games for the Demons - Ben Kennedy (23 disposals, three goals), Jack Trengove (30 disposals) and Billy Stretch (23 disposals) all played strong games

The Demons tasted victory for the second week in a row after a scrappy affair with Coburg. 169194 Picture: ADAM McFARLANE through the middle. But it was a game where Jay Kennedy-Harris put his name up for a senior recall - the flashy midfielder gathered a staggering 47 disposals and eight tackles in a serious case of leather poisoning. Vice-captain James Munro (26 disposals, 12 tackles) was once again enormous, holding gun midfielder Nick Mellington to very few disposals while finding plenty of the football himself. The Demons return to Casey Fields next Saturday afternoon to take on Collingwood, with the game to be televised from 2.30pm.

can’t wait to be a part of it all again.” His development as a leader continues to evolve - he has been described by many recruiters and team-mates in the last few years as a potential AFL captain in the next decade, and someone who will fight tooth and nail to get his team over the line. “I feel as though I’ve gained so much experience in the way I lead,” he said. “It’s the best way to learn and develop, to be right in the heat of it. “I’ve probably made a couple of mistakes but nothing major, but more importantly I’ve learnt from it and continued to develop. “Of course there’s still a long way to go but I love the direction I’m heading with my leadership. “Working with ex-St Kilda captain, a 300-game player and now a leadership mentor in Nathan Burke is a great way to learn as well. “He puts us on a path and pushes us in the right directions while still giving us responsibility.” He anticipates a strong carnival for Vic Country, with a number of prospective first rounds picks set to shine - and he simply can’t wait to get stuck in. “This year’s squad looks really strong in my opinion,” he said. “With the likes of James Worpel (fellow co-captain), Hunter Clark and Luke Davies-

Uniacke running through the midfield we will be a very strong force. “Having said that, the other teams also look quite strong on paper so I think it will be how well we can bond together and work as a team that will define our success and I reckon we’ve got that in us, it’s just something that the Vic Country boys can traditionally do.” Although Clavarino is on the Stingrays’ list as co-captain, he has been tied up with school football commitments with Haileybury this season. “I love the balance of footy and academics that I can still have in this busy year,” he said. “I don’t look too far into anything and don’t put any expectations on myself. Rather I just set myself goals to work towards that I know are achievable and that will keep me honest. “I’m feeling good at the moment but I know it’ll be an especially busy couple of months coming up so I’ll have to really knuckle down with both study and organisation to be able to keep myself in the right mindset before things get too overwhelming.” Clavarino’s Country side kicks off their under-18 games against the Allies in Blacktown, NSW, on 11 June, before returning for three matches in Victoria.

Young-guns in Vic Country championship By Nick Creely The final squad for the Vic Country boys has been finalised ahead of the upcoming NAB AFL U18 Championships, with a total of seven Dandenong Stingrays representatives and five Gippsland Power youngsters set to test their mettle against the country’s best young talent. In the squad of 41, Stingrays’ co-captain and highly-touted key defender Oscar Clavarino will skipper the side with Geelong’s James Worpel. All six of the Stingrays’ NAB AFL Academy players - Hunter Clark, Clavarino, Aaron Darling, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Tom De Koning and Sam Fletcher have been named, although Darling is unlikely to play as he is still recovering from his long-term knee injury. A lot of eyes will be on star midfielder Luke Davies-Uniacke, who similarly to Clavarino - has been tied up on school football duties. The powerful 187cm midfielder is likely to be jostling with two players - Darcy Fogarty from South Australia and Charlie Spargo from Victoria - for the battle of the number one draft pick. Noted for using his big frame at stoppages to his advantage, similar to elite players Patrick Cripps, Dustin Martin and Marcus Bontempelli, Davies-Uniacke is a player capable of stepping foot into an AFL club right now and having an instant impact. The other Stingray to make the final cut is impressive ruckman Bailey Williams, who has been highly imposing as a genuine game changing tall. For the Power, AFL Academy members Changkuoth ‘CJ’ Jiath and Aidan Quigley have been named for the Country, while over-ager ruckman Julian Patterson and impressive tall utilities Cody Henness and Sean Masterson will also get to prove themselves on the big stage. Quigley - who skippers the Power - has had a brilliant first half to the TAC Cup season as a bullocking inside midfielder with the capability to push forward and kick goals. Changkuoth is another whose talent is set to

Tom De Koning is one of seven 'Rays in the Country side. 168489 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS shine in the championships - a member of both the Vic Country Under 16s and last year’s Under 18s, CJ has been predominantly playing school football for Xavier College in Melbourne, and has caught the eye of AFL recruiters. The Country squad - to be coached by Mat Battistello - will feature six over-agers and seven bottom-agers, and six players who represented Country at last year’s U18 Championships. Country commences its campaign against the Allies in Blacktown, NSW on 11 June from 12.30pm, before clashing with Metro at Punt Road Oval on 24 June, Western Australia on 30 June at Etihad Stadium before finishing up at Simonds Stadium on 5 July against South Australia.

Seagulls swan to back-to-back wins By David Nagel Tooradin has claimed back-to-back victories for the first time in nearly three years after the Seagulls dug deep to grind out a 31-point victory over Doveton at Robinson Oval. The Seagulls - who have triumphed over the Doves just twice in their previous 23 encounters - were up for the fight against the Doves, who were proud and passionate with club stalwart Ryan Hendy playing his 250th senior game. And it was a Doveton team that gained a significant boost early with Hendy’s cousin, first gamer Ricky Johnson, electrifying the crowd with an exciting six-pointer. Milan Mandic then marked and goaled and the Doves were off to a flyer. But the Seagulls were out to make a statement and showed true grit, cutting the margin to eight at quarter time and taking a two-point advantage to the main break. They had the better of the third term and took a 15-point advantage into the last period of play. The Seagulls had some matchwinners in the final quarter. Andrew Dean kicked an early goal; Fabio Dilizia struck with two

more, while a massive hit from Nick Lang on Harley Primrose showed the Gulls were not to be bossed around. And it really sunk in when a desperate Justin Smaluch, caught one-on-one with the pacy Clayton McCartney, refused to buckle, his fingertip tackle forcing McCartney’s kick, and Doveton’s last challenge, wide of the target. Dilizia finished with four for the Gulls, and Dean three, while Lang was joined by Andrew Proctor and Matt Livermore in a commanding midfield performance. Doveton, well they need to take stock. They had a barely manageable eight changes heading in, with key performers like Russ Gabriel, Shannon Henwood, Matt Jameson, Alwyn Davey and Jake Blackwood absent on the day. Frank D’Agostino was a fine replacement for Gabriel in the ruck while Sam Raru and Lachie Batten were serviceable through the midfield. They call him ‘Cyril’ down Cranbourne way and livewire forward Khaled Kandakji certainly lived up to that billing with a devastating

last-quarter burst against Narre Warren at Casey Fields. Held quiet for three quarters, Kandakji turned on the magic tricks with four last-quarter goals in the Eagles 52-point victory that basically assures a double-chance come finals time. The Eagles have built their reputation this season on finishing strongly -and that’s exactly what they did in the final term, kicking 8.2 to 1.2 to blow the margin out late. Kandakji may have taken the plaudits in the final term, but the grunt-work of Ryan Davey was instrumental in the clinches, setting up runners like Aaron Bower, Jake Carosella and Dylan Cavalot to inflict maximum damage in the final term. Narre skipper Dylan Quirk was at his industrious best in the middle of the ground. Pakenham supporters can finally shout from the roof tops after the Lions scored their first win of the season, an emphatic 96-point victory over a disappointing Hampton Park at Toomuc Reserve. Despite six consecutive losses the Lions had shown improved form

in recent times and overcame some inaccurate kicking at goal to run away with the contest through the middle stages of the match. The Lions kicked 3.7 to no score in the opening term and rammed home their advantage as the afternoon wore on. Jake Smith kicked five for the Lions and Steve Morey three, while Chris Cardona, Jarrod Theisz and Steve O’Bryan were critical to the Lions’ success. Tim Ziegeler kicked two for the Redbacks. And a successful trip to Tooradin is all that stands between Berwick and a perfect first half of the season after the Wickers scored a solid 23-point victory over Officer at Edwin Flack Reserve. The Wickers dominated the early exchanges, kicking the first four goals of the match before the Kangaroos settled down after last week’s bye. In-form forwards Brody Connelly and Trent Thomas slotted three each for the winners while Brad Phillips and Dylan Chapman fared best for the Kangaroos. Beaconsfield had the bye.

Seagulls outlast the Doves for big victory By David Nagel Tooradin remains on track for its first A Grade netball premiership since 2006 after the top-of-the-table Seagulls overcame a strong challenge from Doveton to win 60-50 at Robinson Oval on Saturday. Kelly Andrews and her side have now conquered every team in the competition except Berwick, the Seagulls round nine opponent when play resumes after this week’s bye due to the Queen’s birthday weekend. On reflection, the Seagulls have been totally dominant this season with Saturday’s result just the second time they’ve been kept to a 10goal margin or less. A 47-43 victory over back-to-back reigning champions Narre Warren in round four was their closest contest this year. You just get the feeling that feathers will fly in September with the Seagulls and Magpies, and the Eagles from Beaconsfield, the big birds at this stage of the season. About the only question that remains for Andrews is how well her side will handle the immense pressure come finals time - a pressure that the Magpies and Eagles have handled with a calm and composed nature over the years. But there’s no reason to doubt their ability to handle it. The Seagulls are littered with VNL-quality talent who have stood up under big-game pressure in the past. Alex and Jess Maher, Jess Cox, Emma Iacovou and Sara Duncan have taken all before them this season while Ebony Dolan and Bec Kinna are a ruthless and relentless defensive combination. Throw in the likes of Alex Duff and Shona Wells and the Seagulls have supreme strength from one end of the court to the other. But Narre Warren will not re-

The Magpies were stung in rounds three and four, with losses to Beaconsfield and Tooradin their first taste of defeat since round 17, 2015. They had set a standard that was almost impossible to continue, players like former league best and fairest winner Erin Clark, Leigh Taylor, Tracey Dell, Tayla Shannon, Chloe Phillips, Bec Potalej and Kara Hargrave setting the bar extremely high indeed. The inclusion of players like Gabby Dwyer, Britt Mashado and Caitlin Stephens has given coaches Greg and Jade Heinrich with the perfect ammunition to keep on improving. The Magpies will be extremely

difficult to topple from their perch. Both Tooradin and Narre Warren did extremely well to repel a big challenge from two of their biggest challengers on the weekend. The bottom half of the ladder had a bit of a shake up on Saturday with Berwick continuing its improved form with a 56-51 victory over ROC at Edwin Flack Reserve. The Wickers took real confidence from their first victory over Pakenham in round six, with this win coming hot on the heels of a strong performance against Doveton in round seven. Coach Janine Kilmartin hasn’t been afraid to give a host of new faces some opportunities and they’re repaying her faith in kind. Players like Morgan Thomas, Bec Langford, Itagia Amataga and Abuk Kenyang are not yet household names but are gradually build-

ing towards it. And Hampton Park has kept its fading finals hopes alive after breaking a three-game losing streak against Pakenham at Toomuc Reserve. The Redbacks’ 55-34 triumph sees them level with Berwick and ROC on 12 points, with the round 10 clash between the Redbacks and Wickers looking to be a real seasondefiner for both clubs. The Redbacks have been held together this season by the brilliant defensive efforts of Karli Foster and Shannon Rennison but have needed to tidy up their attack on goal. And things are looking brighter after the weekend with 55 goals their highest score of the season. Enjoy your rest ladies and gentlemen and we’ll see you in two weeks’ time!

Comets’ win impressive By Nick Creely FFV SOCCER WRAP ROUND 10 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH EAST THE Casey Comets have won an impressive showdown with Warragul United, winning a high quality contest 2-1 at Comets Stadium on Saturday. Both sides have been up and down throughout the season, and a win for either side kept them right in the mix to play finals. But it was the Comets who lifted when it mattered, with Alexander Van Heerwaarden and Allando Matheson finding the back of the net to lift them to a crucial victory. In other matches, St Kilda SC thrashed South Springvale 4-1, Mornington SC pipped Malvern City 2-1, Manningham United drew 2-2 with Mooroolbark and FC Clifton Hill lost 2-3 to Langwarrin SC. STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH EAST Berwick City took on last placed Seaford in what should have been a regulation win at home, but after 25 minutes an upset looked on the cards when Berwick found themselves two goals down. Berwick’s captain Orlando Mejias then took matters into his own hands by scoring two wonderful goals to bring City back into the game. With scores level at half time it was anyone’s game, however Berwick continued to pile on the pressure in the second half and deservedly took the lead through a Ruben Ichim strike who not long after put the game beyond Seafords reach by scor-

However, we were always confident we had the fire power to win the game.” Meanwhile, down at Mazenod College, Doveton SC has lost its hold on top spot, falling 2-3 to Mazenod United FC. It was always going to be a tough ask against the third placed United on their home deck, but true to form, the Doves took it right up to them in the first half, drawing level 1-1. But the United found a way to get the job done despite a fierce effort from the Doves. STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH

Friday night saw Pakenham United defeat Lyndale 2-1, with the men from IYU Recreation Reserve continuing their stellar form. It was an even first half for both sides, with both finding the back of the net, before United found a way to win once more, kicking a late goal. The news wasn’t so good for Bunyip, who were walloped 1-9 against top four side Dandenong Warriors on Saturday. The Warriors were merciless, taking a 4-0 lead into half time before adding another five goals by the end of the game.

Stingrays seal deal By Nick Creely A powerful first quarter performance by the Dandenong Stingrays has resulted in a comfortable 43-point victory over Bendigo Pioneers at Queen Elizabeth Oval on Sunday. In pristine conditions for football, the Stingrays - sky high on confidence and in vintage form, burst out of the blocks, kicking five unanswered goals in the first 20 minutes - including a period of three goals within four minutes to seal the game shut. Apart from a strong first few minutes of the second quarter in which the Pioneers managed to string together a couple of goals through Wade Donnan, the Stingrays once again stamped their powerful authority over the contest, taking a 28-point lead into half time. That five goal lead soon became 40-points at three quarter time, before the Rays switched into an even stronger gear, pushing the margin all the way out to 61-points before a trio of late goals by the Pioneers added a touch of respectability to the scoreboard. There was plenty to like for the Stingrays, who despite having an inconsistent first few months of 2017, are starting to play a fierce, unrelenting brand of football. Hunter Clark’s stellar season continued - not only did the damaging ball magnet look classy on the outside, but his vision by hand in stoppages was a class above. Overage midfielder Reece Piper (three goals) vied with Clark for best

afield honours, while tall combination Tom De Koning (three goals), Riley D’Arcy (three goals) were on song and made life difficult for the Pioneers’ defenders. Emerging defender Angus Patterson continues to turn heads, and was yet again rock solid as the team’s full back. In less positive news - Sam Fletcher, picked for the Vic Country team in next week’s National Championships - copped a heavy knock to the ribs and went to Bendigo Hospital for scans - it is unclear of the severity at this stage. The Stingrays will now have Fletcher, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Oscar Clavarino, Tom De Koning, Hunter Clark and Bailey Williams competing in the U18 National Championships for the next month, with plenty of chances for Craig Black to have more of a look at his depth.

Cranbourne hits their straps - at long last Cavs bounce back By Nick Creely Cranbourne coach Sein Clearihan has warned for several weeks now that his team was set to hit its straps around Round 4 or 5 - but even he was worried when Box Hill jumped out of the blocks to be leading 19-0 after just ten minutes of play. With no wins next to their name and a pretty star-studded list, the pressure was starting to mount for the Eagles. The Hawks - in their first season in the VFLW competition - were unstoppable early with goals to Ebony Nixon, Emily Gilder and Emily Mcilvena. Stephanie Brown managed to kick a late goal for the Eagles to reduce the margin to 12-points at quarter time, and it looked like the damage had already been done. But the Eagles stormed back to life in a brilliant defensive display, showing off their trademark tackling prowess, holding the Hawks goalless after quarter time and kicking four goals themselves to run out 13-point winners. “They (Box Hill) really jumped us to be honest, but to the girls’ credit they kept them goalless after quarter time and fought back really well,” Clearihan said. “Last week they kept coming and coming at Geelong but couldn’t quite get the job done, but the group are now playing smarter and starting to trust eachother.” Youngster Bridie Kennedy, who Clearihan moved into the ruck to change things up, was brilliant as the most dominant force on the ground, and will surely be on AFLW recruiters’’ watch list after yet another strong performance. Backed up by senior heads Breann Moody, Alicia Johnson, Kirsten McLeod and Hayley Wildes, the Eagles finally got the monkey off its back. The VFLW competition has another bye this week after last week saw no games as

The Eagles were brilliant defensively after a shaky start on Sunday. 167973 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS well, with Clearihan disappointed he can’t keep the momentum going, just as his team attained it. “I’ve been wanting to play and it is a bit frustrating, we’re just starting to get rolling,” he said. “But we’ll give them a good freshen up mentally and be ready to go the week after.” The Eagles play Seaford at Casey Fields on 17 June as a curtain raiser to the Casey Demons’ match that night. In Division 1 of the South East Women’s league, Cranbourne lost by 11-points to the

Eastern Devils on Saturday, while in Division 2 the Eagles lost heavily, falling to Seaford - the final scores in the clash were 2.1(13) to 13.10(88) BOX HILL 3.1 3.1 3.3 3.5(23) CRANBOURNE 1.1 2.3 3.5 5.6(36) BOX HILL GOALS: E.

BIG V BASKETBALL REVIEW - ROUND 11 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MEN The Casey Cavaliers have bounced back from last week’s disappointment, defeating Hume City Broncos 90-72 on Sunday afternoon at Casey Indoor. After slumping to sixth on the table last week, the Cavs needed to respond. Despite the Broncos sitting several places lower on the table, the task was never going to be easy for the Cavs. But the Cavs were never headed, as Brandon Polk (21 points, 16 rebounds) put in a brilliant performance, and Ben Louis (18 points), Raheem Lemons (17 points), Michael McInnes (15 points) and Mitch Chapman (10 points) dropped double digits. The Cavs will return from the bye on 17 June with a match against Hawthorn Magic at Boroondara Sports Complex. DIVISION ONE WOMEN A tough season for the Cavs continued on Saturday night at Casey Indoor, with a 60-71 loss to Chelsea Gulls. The third-placed Gulls comfortably got the job done despite some great intensity from the Cavs.

Tarryn Wilkin (22 points, 20 rebounds, three assists) once again battled hard with little help. The Cavs have a tough double header after the bye, with games against Geelong on 17 June and Latrobe City on 18 June. YOUTH LEAGUE TWO MEN The Cavs are now just percentage from top-of-the -ladder after a strong duo of wins over the weekend. Saturday evening saw the Cavs travel to RB Robson Stadium to face the Wallan Panthers, with the Cavs winning 66-80 Nathan Dodgson (15 points, 16 rebounds) put in some impressive numbers for the Cavs. The Cavs then returned home on Sunday, belting Collingwood 75-49, with Jordan Gooiker dropping 21 points. A crucial clash between the Cavs and Craigieburn is set for after the bye, with the match to be played on 17 June. YOUTH LEAGUE TWO WOMEN Despite losing its second game of the season on Saturday, the Cavs remain top-of-the-ladder heading into the bye. In the clash at Casey Indoor, the Cavs lost 45-60 to Sunbury Jets. They will face Sherbrooke Suns after the bye on 18 June.

By Alistair Kennedy The clock is counting down not only the end of Australian-made Holden cars but also on one of our nation’s most iconic vehicles, the trusty Holden Ute. The first ever Ute, the Holden Utility 51-2016 to give it it’s full name, was launched in 1951 and, apart from the period from 1984 and 1990, there’s been a passenger car-based light commercial Holden on sale here ever since. In recent times there has been something of an evolution in utes, going from cargo carriers to what are effectively large semi sports cars and being replaced by 4WD/SUV based pick-ups. One of these, the fully-imported Holden Colorado, will still be available, indeed pickups and trucks of this type are so popular nowadays that one, the Toyota Hi-Lux, was Australia’s biggest selling vehicle in 2016. Technically, a ute has the front end of a car with no dividing space between the cabin and

The striking frontal shape of the Holden SV6 Ute puts it deeply into the sports-ute category. the tray. Pick-ups are designed as small trucks and share nothing with car bodies. However, these days anything from with a load area is often referred to as a ute in Australia. The current - and almost certainly last Holden Ute - is a refreshed version of the VF Commodore Series II range that went on sale in January 2017 with new equipment including head-up display and satellite navigation to all models above the entry level Ute.
