Movie’s feelgood fallout Hollywood came to Berwick in the sweltering summer of 1959. A-list movie stars Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire headed the cast of On the Beach in the prime of their careers, along with a young Anthony Perkins. The post-apocalyptic drama, based on the 1957 novel by British-Australian author Nevil Shute, was set in Melbourne and filmed in Berwick, Frankston and Cowes. In the film, Melbourne is the only remaining haven for mankind after a nuclear war in the northern hemisphere, but wind currents threaten to carry the lingering radiation south and condemn the city to the same fate as the rest of the world. The iconic Berwick Inn features in the film and a lot of the local filming took place in the picturesque countryside at Wilson Hill, above the old Wilson Quarry that is now a botanical park. The area was later developed and some of the streets were named after those involved with the film. Shute Avenue is named after the book’s author and Kramer Drive honours the film’s producer and director Stanley Kramer. None of the actors got a look in. Perhaps this was because a controversy sparked at the time by comments wrongly attributed to Gardner, along the lines of Melbourne being the perfect place to make a film about the end of the world. The quote came in a story penned by Sydney Morning Herald reporter Neil Jillett, who correctly anticipated the jibe reigniting the rivalry between the two Australia cities.

Ava Gardner is filmed running up Wilson Hill in Berwick during filming for the 1959 hit movie On the Beach in sweltering conditions. The picture appears in the Berwick Pakenham Historical Society’s Berwick Nostalgia publication, available for purchase at the society’s museum on the corner of Main Street and Princes Highway in Pakenham. It is open on Sundays between 2pm and 4.30pm. He later confessed to having added the quote himself tongue-incheek, which was changed by a subeditor to attribute it directly to the actress. The filming took place between mid-January and late-March 1959, as Melbourne sweltered through an unusually hot summer. So the conditions may have taken a toll on the actors. Beach scenes were filmed at Cowes and the nearby Grand Prix circuit came in handy for car racing scenes.

Fred Astaire, Ava Gardner and Gregory Peck and take a break.

Sun rises on the first western settlers Located on the watershed of Port Phillip and Western Port, Berwick is believed to owe its name to its first settler, Captain Robert Gardiner. He hailed from Berwick-uponTweed on the English-Scottish border and named his run Berwick. The name itself derives from the Anglo Saxon ‘ber’ meaning barley, and ‘wick’, a farm. In 1838 the first settlers came to Berwick. The Berwick area was first described as Cardinia Creek in old documents. Kar din yarr, meaning ‘looking at the sunrise’, was the territory of the Aboriginal Bunnurong tribe. In those days, all mail past Dande-

nong was directed to Western Port so the first surveyor had their mail directed to ‘Care/Berwick, Westernport’, and soon ‘Berwick’ became widely fixed as the name of the district, replacing Cardinia Creek. The Berwick township was known as The Reserve. The earliest agricultural activities were devoted to growing potatoes, wheat and barley because the crops were suited to the heavy black volcanic soil. The produce was carted to Melbourne by bullock team as well as the goldfields in Castlemaine and Bendigo. Later dairy farming and cheese

making became other industries in the area. In 1878 Robert Bain signed a 500-year lease of the land where the library and the Mechanics Institute stand. The lease is conditional on a library being conducted from the premises. Berwick’s first stores were set up in the 1860s but it wasn’t until 1909 that Berwick’s first newspaper, the Berwick Shire News, was founded by A.E. Thomas. Eight years later, the newspaper’s office transferred to Pakenham in 1917. The state school was built in 1870, and additions were made at the time of the railway construction, in 1876. St Margaret’s School

The old Berwick township, with the iconic inn in the foreground. was opened in 1920. Berwick is home to the oldest farmers’ society in Victoria. The Port Phillip Farmer’s Society, founded in 1848, was the parent body

to three branches at Berwick (then known as the Mornington Farmer’s Society), Gisborne, and Bacchus Marsh, of which Berwick remains the only survivor.

Village people build their buzz By Narelle Coulter There is a buzz in the air around Berwick Village thanks to the passion, energy and commitment of the Berwick Business Group. The group was formed three years ago to fill a void left when the town’s chamber of commerce folded. President Ritesh Prasad, who is principal and senior financial planner at MLC Berwick, is passionate about Berwick and unflaggingly upbeat about the town’s commercial future. The business group currently has 80 members, a number Mr Prasad and his executive hope to grow to 100 by the end of this financial year. Members meet once a month for lunch to discuss ways to promote business, not just in Berwick but throughout the City of Casey. “Everyone is a local, self-employed business owner. They understand the community, they live here, they eat here, their kids go to the local schools. We are all family orientated and very down to earth and approachable,” Mr Prasad said. Each year the business group hosts three major events: a Christmas celebration, an Easter egg hunt and a VIP fashion festival in October. Tickets are set to go on sale soon for the fashion event which will promote Berwick as a fashion shopping destination with special offers and a fashion parade in Kempson Walk. Plans are also in train for a Christmas spectacular that will light up the High Street. Mr Prasad said the business group was delighted to get the green light last week from the City of Casey to string thousands of Christmas lights in the trees along the High Street. “We are going to put lights in the trees and light up the High Street carpark. It’s going to be awesome,” Mr Prasad said. Other plans for the Christmas event include festive stalls, Santa, a sleigh and, if things go to plan, live reindeer. “We also want the fire brigade to get involved and bring along a couple of trucks. The red trucks will add to the Christmas feel. “I’ll be the DJ as usual,” he added, laughing. Mr Prasad has carved out a reputation as the business group’s go to DJ, spinning tunes at all three events. He hopes that close to 3500 people will attend the Christmas celebration, topping last year’s

New hospital starts to glow With the construction of the external facade now finished, passers-by might assume that the redevelopment of St John of God Berwick Hospital is nearing completion. And although the eye-catching exterior supports that impression, there is still a lot of work to be done over the next six months before the hospital becomes operational from 18 January next year. “We are delighted with the look of our new hospital,” hospital CEO Lisa Norman said. “The dynamic nature of the exterior design adapts to the environment so, depending on the weather we are having and what time of the day it is, the hospital can emit a variety of different glows to reflect that.” Although plenty of finishing touches remain to be done to the outside and surrounds of the building, the focus is now turning to the inside where there is still much work to be done, Lisa said. “While the builders are focusing on the internal fit-out, we’re busy redesigning processes and policies to ensure that the services we offer at our Gibb Street location will transfer seamlessly over to our new site on Kangan Drive,” she said. “That means that even once construction is complete, a lengthy commissioning process will take place to ensure that the building, caregivers, policies and procedures are adequately prepared to deliver the quality care St John of God Berwick Hospital is known for. “The process will involve room

There is still much work to be done on the new St John of God Hospital. checks - making sure that every room is doing exactly as it’s been designed to do, and inducting our caregivers into the new site so that they are able

to continue to provide exceptional care to our patients in a completely new facility.” The new St John of God Berwick

Hospital site will also be home to an intensive care unit and will offer cardiac care services from February 2018. It will also temporarily house reha-

bilitation services until the Gibb Street location has been decommissioned and developed into a rehabilitation hospital later next year.

Our new hospital (located at 75 Kangan Drive, Berwick) will open on January 18th 2018. We have more than 200 new employment opportunities throughout the hospital including nursing, theatre, food services, administration, environmental services and more. St John of God Healthcare is an employer of choice offering salary sacriice, purchased leave, lexible working conditions, learning and education.

Ultra design is an award winner An ultra-modern, minimalist home in the heart of Berwick has won a local firm a prestigious design award. Design Unity won the award for Most Innovative Kitchen Design at the annual BDAV Building Design Awards, presented by Building Designers Association of Victoria. The awards celebrate Victoria’s best residential, interior, sustainable, heritage conservation and non-residential design projects. Winners were announced at the BDAV annual dinner at the National Gallery of Victoria on Saturday 29 July. Design Unity picked up a second award, Excellence in the Use of Glass, for a house in Warragul. Design Unity managing director Warren Jenkins said he and his staff were thrilled to win for their work on the Berwick house Venendo Insieme, which means ‘coming together’ in Italian. “It was absolutely amazing. It is very difficult to win awards from this industry organisation. The quality of the entrants is broad and very skilled. “To identify our projects as winners is a real boost for our business.” Mr Jenkins described the residence as a “surprise house”. “We designed a flat roof to give the house a low profile and a cantilevered form over the entrance hall that makes quite a statement, but when you walk

The award winning Venendo Insieme kitchen.

A functional cooking zone pops up from the retractable cupboards. in through the door the place is open, spacious and filled with light - that is the ‘surprise’ element.” One of the family members has limited vision so the house was designed across one level with careful consideration of transitions between rooms. The exterior landscaping was also levelled to the house. There are no steps inside and the one at the front entrance is illuminated. Dedication to the minimalist ethos led to the kitchen being almost completely concealed. When it comes time to prepare a meal the functional cooking zone pops up from the retractable cupboards that hide it.

The refrigerator, food storage, and kitchen appliances are tucked away in a large butler’s pantry. The only enduring culinary elements are a central island bench with a sink and streamline tapware. Bathrooms conform to the pared back aesthetic with little spared on detail and fittings. The main bathroom features a large floating vanity with mounted sink, a custom made mirror, and polished plaster wall: it’s a space that says - in a soft muted voice - ‘luxury’ rather than austerity. The judges said the “cleverly designed kitchen of Venendo Insieme is an example of a utility area being conceived as a piece of furniture”. “The minimalist white island bench

Light floods the kitchen and living areas. features a mirror treatment to create a floating effect that visually extends the dining area. “The cabinetry surrounding the preparation bench is thoughtfully detailed to frame the appliances. “Within the two exposed appliances sits a hamper door that conceals the preparation bench alcove.

“Through skilful space-planning measures such as hiding refrigeration in the butler’s pantry, the designers have been able to achieve an uncluttered kitchen that is part of the family area. “The absence of handles and striking lights makes this kitchen sleek and stylish.”

Strong sense of belonging forged The Berwick Neighbourhood Centre (BNC) is a vibrant community place where every person is made to feel welcome through a wide variety of classes, courses and events. Situated across three premises within Berwick, the BNC strives to be a place of belonging where people can connect, participate and learn. “Primarily, our focus is on serving the community with programs catering for families with young children. But we also offer a variety of programs for our over 50s community, including our knitting ladies who knit for local charities and families in need,” manager of the Berwick Neighbourhood Centre Michelle Coburn explained. BNC currently has vacancies in their childcare room- learning through play. This program is specifically designed for children aged one to five years old and operates Tuesday to Friday from 9am to 2pm. However, there are many more opportunities for children within the BNC. “BNC will open our enrolments for three-year-old pre-kinder for 2018 from Monday 9 October 2017. In the interim, we encourage you to visit either centre to see us in operation, or to ask any further questions,” Ms Coburn said.

“Berwick is a great place to live and work. Our local community supports each other and reminds us that this really is our home on a daily basis. We’ve got some amazing history to remember, and often it guides our future. If we look at Arthur Boyd (a well-known Australian painter), who paid board to his cousin in Harkaway by painting for him, we see that the arts are still incredibly important to our community with the development of Bunjil Place nearby. Berwick continues to be the kind of community that celebrates our successes together and comes together in hard times to overcome difficulties together. I’m particularly proud of how Berwick manages to maintain its country sensibilities while being able to provide some amazing facilities like tertiary education at Federation Uni and the beautiful Wilson Botanic Park - and I know my daughter, Jasmine, definitely enjoys the park, too. On a more sombre and respectful note, I think there was one man who truly demonstrat-

Art culture is town’s fabric Culture and art are very much part of the fabric of life in Berwick. The town is imbued with a rich array of working artists, studios and art groups. Calvin Bell is an internationally trained artist who has worked in Los Angeles and Auckland but now dedicates his talents to fostering the creative talents of others. He is president and director of Provenance Artists, a not-for-profit society of artists who work from a studio at 20 Toptani Drive, Berwick Springs. The society runs weekly art workshops for established artists as well as beginners and seniors. “We are proud that some of our artists have now reached top leading artists levels, even being recognised throughout Australia and internationally,” Mr Bell said. Provenance Artists in association with the Berwick Artists Society is organising the City of Casey’s largest art show to be held at Nossal High School on 22-24 September. Mr Bell said the show would feature 700 works by leading Victorian and interstate artists. He encouraged seniors to enter their colouring works and there will also be dedicated sections for scratchboard art and coloured pencil art. Another well-known Berwick artist is Andrea Hopgood who has been creating and teaching art for more than 30 years. Andrea holds classes and workshops at Paperworks Gallery, her art studio/ gallery in Inglis Road, Berwick. Visitors can view the sculptures in the garden, crafted by her husband David, including the Cyprus trees that have been carved into pencils. Andrea creates works using a wide range of mediums, including clay, wire, pastel, oil and acrylic. Her artwork is inspired by the natural environment. The concept of “place” is very important to Andrea. Having lived in Berwick for most of her life, she has grown a family, a home and a work life within the community. Her current work explores the concept of place within nature and the parallels with her own experiences. Sam Michelle is another full-time artist living in Berwick. Sam recently had a sell-out first solo show at Saint Cloche in Paddington, Sydney, and has three more solo shows planned this year. She recently opened a studio in Mornington. Last year Sam’s business was named the Casey Cardinia Home Based Business of the Year.

Calvin Bell helps organise art shows in the City of Casey each year. 165279 Sam draws inspiration from music, art and interiors that give her a sense of joy. She is interested in how this occurs in art and how content and colour can trigger memories or simply a feeling within. Art can also be therapy as those who attend Painting with Parkinson’s know. Painting with Parkinson’s has been part of Berwick for 11 years. Spokesperson Anne Atkin said creativity helps to relax the central nervous system so those with the incurable neurological illness find that being creative gives a feeling of calmness and relaxation. “Many people have found that living with Parkinson’s is easier when you share a cuppa, a piece of cake and then a wall mural,” Anne said. “Some members have found themselves winning prizes in art shows or being asked to do a commission. “But we must be the noisiest group at the Old Cheese factory

He attended Southern Cross Primary School in Endeavour Hills and Lyndale Secondary College in Dandenong North. In his last months, he lost interest in his apprenticeship and playing sport, became obsessed with Middle East issues and spent “inordinate” time with a group of young males. He met some of the group at

Hallam mosque, and with one of them he attended the Al-Furqan centre in Springvale South, which was linked to recruitment for jihadist groups such as Islamic State. “It is those closest to the individual, such as Numan’s friends and associates in this case, that were best placed to be aware of his increasing radicalisation, but they did not act on it, for reasons which are unclear,” Mr Olle stated.

The coroner either treated Haider’s associates’ evidence with caution or “very little weight”. They did not give “full and frank answers” and seemed to serve their own and Haider’s interests, Mr Olle stated. Haider’s parents, who had determinedly tried to separate their son from the group, were absent for the findings. They were said to be away overseas. BERWICK

FACTORY DIRECT BLINDS FOR LESS

Police and intelligence officers have been cleared of any adverse findings over the death of radicalised teen Numan Haider outside Endeavour Hills police station, State Coroner John Olle has found. A piece of overlooked critical information may have prevented the fateful meeting between the 18-year-old and two police officers on 23 September 2014, Mr Olle stated in his findings on 31 July. Haider was recorded during a call to an unidentified male that “If I had a knife I would’ve stabbed them” - referring to police who intervened in his Shahada flag-waving protest in Dandenong Plaza a week earlier. “The police didn’t even search me.” The call - which didn’t connect - was later uncovered by a Coroner’s investigator, but had not been captured by ASIO monitoring at the time. It was the one piece of information that was likely to alter the police’s approach, Mr Olle said. Utimately though, the cause of Haider’s death was his own dangerous conduct. “I find that Numan engaged in a course of conduct that involved radicalisation and behaviour that was increasingly dangerous, ultimately causing his death,” Mr Olle stated. Officer A, who had fired the single fatal shot, was left with no other realistic option after Haider had stabbed him and Officer B with a folding knife, Mr Olle said. At that point, Haider had repeatedly stabbed Officer B to the head and neck, and had crouched over

to stab the fallen officer’s stomach, Mr Olle said. “Other non-fatal tactical options available to Officer A would not have prevented the potentially fatal injuries being inflicted on Officer B by Numan.” Mr Olle found the risk assessments and decisions to meet Haider “could not reasonably be subject to criticism”. Before his attack on police, Haider had made several Facebook posts supporting “extremist views”. He sought weapons such as a knife and a Taser disguised as an iPhone. He was believed to have visited an extremist Islamic centre in Bankstown just over a week before the fatal incident. His passport was also cancelled due to the belief he could join overseas terrorist groups. Days before, a Facebook post depicted Haider in a balaclava, military camouflage and holding a Shahada flag in the style of “members of terror groups”, and calling police and ASIO “dogs” in the wake of largescale raids on mosques in Sydney and Brisbane. Officer A and B had not been alerted to the post prior to the meeting. They later told the inquiry this was a significant omission. Mr Olle said he couldn’t eliminate “hindsight bias” from assessing the post’s significance. He found there was no causal connection between that information and the manner and cause of Haider’s death. Haider’s radicalisation transformed a “happy go lucky” teenager of a practicing Muslim family. At age 7, Haider and his family

tion about victims of crime and their ongoing woe. “I don’t know if the tipping point has been reached yet, but we’re much closer to it. “People would sit and watch the TV news and go ‘Tut, tut, tut, poor bugger’. “Now people are saying we’ve had enough of this.” Often victims tell him they cop a life sentence while the offender spends a few months in jail. Much like Berwick resident ‘Anne’ who recently told Star News of her family’s ongoing suffering after her daughter was brain-injured during a brutal bashing. “Why is it that the ruination and destruction of their life and the removal of what their life could have been is worth just a couple of months of (the offender’s) time,” Mr Davies said.

Victoria’s crime wave has likely engulfed about half of its residents over the past year, says Victims of Crime Commissioner Greg Davies. There were 333,911 victim’s crime reports in Victoria in the 12-month period ending in March 2017. When you conservatively multiply that tenfold to include the rippling effect on the victim’s family, colleagues, friends and neighbours - there’s an impact on three million people, Mr Davies said. Amazingly, about 1000 rang the little-known Victims of Crime hotline in the wake of the recent Bourke Street Mall incident in which six people were killed, he said. Mr Davies, installed as the state’s first victims of crime commissioner in 2014, says there’s a dawning recogni-

“It’s very hard on people - who through no fault of their own - become dependent on family and friends for whatever lifestyle they are left with.” He says it’s time to work out acceptable reasons for an offender to argue down a sentence. For example, is the use of ice - a crime in itself - a reasonable excuse? Can a broken home be used as a unique excuse when a half of children live with a single parent? “If we accept their crime on the basis they’ve come from a broken home we need to prepare for a tidal wave. “I came from a broken home. It didn’t trigger in my mind to break into people’s homes or cars. “In this day and age with the lawand-order issues confronting us, we need to think seriously about what is a sensible submission for sentencing.” As a former Victoria Police officer

and Police Association secretary, Mr Davies recalls numerous victims that roused his empathy, but received little help in the criminal justice system. Unfortunately, back in the 1970s and 1980s, police would bounce between 25 callouts and paperwork in an eight-hour shift. There was often not enough time to offer victims more than a phone number for the Victims Of Crime Assistance Tribunal. “I don’t know if there were such things as counsellors for victims (in those days),” Mr Davies said. The overall picture for victims of crime has improved since then. Victims have a louder voice, but many are not treated well in the criminal justice system and the trial process, he says. “They sit there and look around the courtroom. Everyone there is paid for by their taxes - the judge, the judge’s

associate, the jury, the prosecution and the Legal-Aid funded defence ... “And they’re sitting there with no one there to represent them and no voice.” If called as a witness, the victim is often the harshest treated on the stand as defence teams try to demolish their credibility. Even their victim impact statements have to be approved by all parties and may be changed before it is read out in court. There’s a victims charter to protect their rights in the criminal justice system, but there are no penalties to enforce it. It’s an “aspirational document” only, Mr Davies says. When victims phone Mr Davies’ office for help, they’re “not screaming for blood” or “out for personal gain”. “It’s so that someone else doesn’t have to go through the same as them.”

Chinese students sandwich into school with a smile Chinese students got a glimpse of life in a typical Aussie school when they visited Brentwood Park Primary School last week. English language teacher Ji Yadan, along with six students from Brentwood’s sister school in Jiangsu Province, were billeted with Berwick host families. Jiangsu is a coastal Chinese province north of Shanghai. The students threw themselves into life at Brentwood Park including acquainting themselves with a typical Australian school packed lunch. For lunch on Tuesday the host family students showed their visitors how to put together a healthy school sandwich.

The Chinese students enjoyed their Aussie lunch accompanied by a reading of the book The Sandwhich That Max Made. On Wednesday Governor of Victoria Linda Dessau hosted a welcome ceremony in the ballroom of Government House for all Jiangsu schools and their Victorian sister schools. Following the reception, the Brentwood school captains, the visiting students and staff had the opportunity to look at some of the magnificent rooms adjacent to the ballroom. The students were farewelled by their Brentwood friends at a special school assembly at the end of the week.

Planting in progress By Victoria Stone-Meadows Sunday 30 July marked the 21st annual National Tree Day, with about 250 members of the Casey community coming out to revegetate an open space site on Hessell Road in Harkaway. Casey’s Plant Your Roots event saw the planting of 12,000 indigenous plants in just under two hours. Manager of City Planning at Casey Council Nicola Ward said National Tree Day was a great chance for the community of Casey to work together. “Our community planting days not only achieve improved environmental outcomes, but also foster community spirit and pride and help educate the community about the importance of native

vegetation within Casey,“ she said. “The participants were such a diverse mix of ages, faiths and backgrounds, coming together to create an asset for the future Casey community to enjoy. “My hope is that the young people of Casey who were there can bring their own children and grandchildren to the park in the future and share the story about how they planted the trees. “The City of Casey thanks all the individuals, families and community groups who volunteered their time on the day to help council achieve a significant environmental goal and create Casey’s next bushland forest.” Star News photographer Gary Sissons went along to the event in Harkaway to capture the planting in progress.

In a heated debate, Casey councillors have voted down a plan to advocate against marriage equality, with mayor Sam Aziz declaring the council would no longer be distracted by federal matters. Two weeks after a heavily-criticised motion on national conscription, councillors largely abstained from Cr Rosalie Crestani’s push for the council to support a “huge silent majority”. At the 1 August meeting, Cr Crestani particularly lashed out at the abstaining Cr Rex Flannery, accusing him of reneging on his support for her motion. While explaining his position to the meeting, Cr Flannery said he had earlier told Cr Crestani that if same-sex marriage was allowed, “we would probably have to tear up the Bible”. “I unfortunately don’t have a Bible,” he told the meeting. At that point, Cr Crestani interjected and was urged to take her seat as she handed Cr Flannery her Bible. Cr Flannery said he himself was “torn” over the issue. The council also voted down a push for Casey to direct a 700-strong residents’ petition on the same issue to every federal MP in the country. Councillors supported an alternative motion to write to the head petitioner to suggest the petition ought to be sent directly to the federal government without the council’s involvement. Cr Crestani said the timing of the motion was a “gift” given changes to the Marriage Act could be voted

Casey Councillors Wayne Smith and Rosalie Crestani clashed in a debate about marriage equality. upon in Canberra as soon as next week. It was vital to protect one of the most “sacred covenants in human history” that was handed down by God - that marriage was between one man and one woman, Cr Crestani said. She likened the possible change to the “hedonistic end” of the Roman empire, opening the door to multiple spouses, incest and child marriage. “What is worse than paedophilia being legislated?” She warned councillors that she would “remind you all of this night” whenever the council ventured into state and federal matters. “There are some things that are

just priceless. “Money doesn’t matter if you don’t have a healthy society.” Most councillors however seemed to agree with Cr Gary Rowe that the council should “stick to its knitting”. “I think this is going one step too far. “We need to stick to those things that local government is very good at - that is rates, roads and rubbish.” Mayor Aziz said he was concerned with the “pattern” of exciting media interest in “a divisive debate on a peripheral issue” to the council. He said in hindsight the conscription motion a fortnight earlier was a mistake, condemning Casey to much criticism across the nation.

Cr Aziz asked what would be next - a letter to NASA to settle on Mars, or to the UN Security Council on what to do about North Korea? “I want to put a line under this debate.” Cr Wayne Smith said councillors couldn’t claim to know the majority position of their constituents. According to his own Facebook survey, people on both sides of the debate unanimously thought Casey’s intervention was inappropriate, Cr Smith said. “Every one of them agreed they didn’t vote in councillors to have a position on this.” Cr Smith also said council having an official position on marriage equality would cause undue stress and division within the Casey community. “Us writing a letter is not going to have one iota of effect,” he said. “No matter what decision we make we are going to alienate a section of the community; we have got a huge LGBTIQ community and if this went though they will feel much worse and it will cause a lot of angst for the pro Marriage Act people too.” “My view is why set up division when there doesn’t need to be? Especially when it is not going to have any effect on the level where it matters.” This is not the first time Cr Crestani has attracted controversy with her views on LGBTIQ issues. In 2014 she staged an unsuccessful attempt to have any council support for LGBTIQ people shut down and just last month led a successful charge against the State Government's ‘building respectful relationships’ and ‘safe schools’ programs.

Opinion Uncle Sam? The finger-pointing reference as seen in the Berwick News could be interpreted as a reference to “Uncle Sam" of the USA. Used as a marketing tool to recruit soldiers for WW1 and WW2, it disappoints me that Casey councillors would see this as remotely acceptable to portray. Equally of a concern that while some residents do have the right to support national conscription, a question needs to be asked. What community consultation took place to actually gauge real community sentiment? Or again is this just Casey Council punching above their own weight, trying to act once again as the small brother of the Federal Government? I applaud Cr Smith for standing on his own and for showing real conviction questioning this council position. Maybe Cr Rex Flannery and Cr Sam Aziz can both take a leaf out of Cr Smith's stance and stand up for their constituents in the Springfield Ward and say no to the permit apllication that will see the destruction of the Berwick Springs Promenade tree-lined entry. Yes, Springfield Ward councilors YOU can stand up on your own and represent us the community. Maybe the councillors should be photographed with open arms like “Lady Liberty" portraying an image of understanding and listening to community wants. Then act accordingly and in this case save Berwick Springs from a unwarranted and unnecessary development. Michael Ball, Narre Warren South.

Where the problem lies Cr Rex Flannery’s recent motion calling for compulsory national service, supported by all Casey councillors, except Cr Wayne Smith, shows precisely where Casey’s problems lie. Crs Rex Flannery, Amanda Stapledon, Rosalie Crestani, and Sam Aziz, clearly know absolutely nothing about Australian history. Neither do they respect public opinion. If they did, they would know that the Australian

public resoundingly voted against national service and military conscription during the Great War. But military service was unilaterally imposed by the Federal Government in the Vietnam war, although opposed by the general public, because of the subservience of Australian politicians, once again, to American imperialism. Apart from Cr Wayne Smith, most of Casey’s councillors appear to be absolutely bankrupt for ideas and strategies to take Casey forward and deal with our most important community problems; such as renewable energy, extreme weather events, health and addiction problems, homelessness and underemployment. Rex Flannery has offered no evidence to show that national service will impact on any of these problems or the rising crime statistics in this municipality. Unless Casey residents see better, evidenced-based, decisions from our councillors we are facing a future compromised by the use of scare tactics to provide a cover for local government incompetence! John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

Well done Tom Congratulations to Tom Cummings for his recent stand against poker machines in Casey (see Cam Lucadou-Wells, “Alliance backs pokies fight,15 July, Berwick News).There is no doubt that poker machines and problem gambling are behind the increased crime rate and level of domestic violence in the southern-eastern suburbs. Casey Council and the mayor should now respond by rewarding Tom Cummings for his stand against this social pathology with a Casey Council citizens' certificate of merit. Star reporter Cam Lucadou-Wells should also receive an award for his great report on this issue. Casey Council often awards certificates to commemorate the work of volunteers and business achievements in this municipality. Why now shouldn’t Casey mayor, Sam Aziz, as a mark of respect and support by council, award Tom Cummings a certificate and publicly thank Mr Cummings for his stand against an addiction that compromises the quality of life for many residents in the city of Casey? It is of interest to note that none of the local Labor Party MPs in Casey have had anything to say on this issue. Probably because the State Government has a conflict of interest as it receives more than $1 billion in revenue each year. This can only mean the Victorian Government is addicted to poker machines. Too addicted to gambling revenue to do anything about the problem, except for window-dressing exercises. John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

Confused? Cr Rosalie Crestani seems confused as to her political role. As a Casey councillor, her responsibilities do not extend into Commonwealth law, other than to comply with them. By all means, run for parliament Cr Crestani, I for one would enjoy putting you last. Mark Chadwick, Cranbourne West.

Cap fits Casey Casey is planning to stay within the State Government’s rates cap in next year’s budget, mayor Sam Aziz has told a Narre Warren business group. “We will not be applying for a rates increase above two per cent,” Cr Aziz told Narre Warren Region Business Group’s AGM on 27 July. “That is already happening in 2017-'18 and it’s going to happen in 2018-'19.” It would mark the third consecutive year within the rates cap since Casey’s failed bid to the Essential Services Commission for a variation in 2015-'16. Cr Aziz told the group the rates decision was built on efficiencies and savings over several years. The council would still be able to invest in required infrastructure despite the restriction. Casey Residents and Rate-

payers Association president Arvo Talvik later told Star News the pledge was made on the back of a “stash of money” for 10 years at the expense of ratepayers. “This slush fund will continue forever and a day if allowed. “As far as limiting a rate variation for 2018-'19, nothing is set in concrete.” Cr Aziz also outlined a vision for Narre Warren’s CBD, including a footbridge linking Webb Street to Fountain Gate shopping centre. There were also plans for better links with the railway station and a multi-level car park. He hoped for a significant project on the civic centre and library sites, both soon to be redundant upon the opening of Bunjil Place in October. Guest speaker and former WorkSafe inspector Dave Mackie spoke on workplace safety challenges, including

the flammable cladding on city high-rises. Mr Mackie said the construction industry had been “lucky” to avoid more injuries in the wake of a recent prosecution of a crane installer for a spate of crane collapses. “Bits are coming off the high-rises every second day. Parts just fall onto the road but luckily no-one gets hurt.” He told of the need for tact and diplomacy as an inspector. “A lot of it is about how you deal with people. “No-one likes to be told what to do. The best thing you can do is involve people, ask for their opinion and let them come up with the solutions.” At the meeting, Narre Warren Region Business Group elected its president Steve Osborne, vice-president Michael Parker, treasurer Richard Edwards and secretary Tim Allan.

Narre Warren South author Wida Tausif’s inspiring works were born from a difficult place. Ms Tausif, 25, is about to release her second children’s book, Aliens Don’t Belong On Earth - a chapter book on two boys’ special mission from aliens to move humans to Chocolate World. The story touches on trust, loyalty, honesty and friendship, she says. Those values seem galaxies away from the cruel schoolyard taunts she endured as a nineyear-old in New Zealand. The Afghan-born student was told she was a terrorist, Al Queda ringleader Osama Bin Laden and that she didn’t belong “here”. After school, she was chased and tomatoes and eggs were thrown at her. She was threatened if she reported her torments to teachers. “I didn’t have any friends for a few months, except an Afghan friend who was going through

the same thing. “I was weak and couldn’t do anything about it.” Ms Tausif is also concerned about children enduring corporal punishment in overseas countries such as Pakistan. “As a child you don’t want to go through these experiences. You want to grow up in a happy and safe environment.” As she grew up, she also wanted to become a role-model and inspiration. Her works are affirming - a suite of poems and articles on peace and human rights. She has taken to studying the history of Islam and speaking out for women’s rights and against extremist Islamic groups. Those who read the Koran should also study the contextual history behind the scriptures, she says. Her third book, yet to be published, is about the lives of herself and other Muslim women. It tackles women’s rights, Islam, how culture and religion is mixed and confused in the

Middle East but its audience is everyone. There’s a common view that Muslim women are required to “cover up” with a head scarf. However, it is optional, Ms Tausif says - though some would not agree. “I would like to help young Muslim women to speak up and know their rights have been abused for many years.” In the meantime one of her poems, Peace, was selected for a World Poetry Peace Prize at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. She’s contested the Miss South Asian Australasian beauty pageant 2017, and has spread her message in poetry anthologies and emerging writers festivals. “This is my home and this is my community,” she says. “And I will do anything to help the community now.” Aliens Don’t Belong On Earth will be launched at Balla Balla Centre, Cranbourne East on 16 September.

Narre man in cash crop By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Narre Warren man has been jailed after claiming an illegal hydroponic crop of 44 cannabis plants with an electrical bypass was solely for his personal use. Michael Thompson, 41, was convicted of trafficking, cultivating cannabis, theft of electricity and being a prohibited person with a loaded pistol, at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 31 July. In sentencing, Jack Vandersteen said Thompson’s criminal history had a “degree of logic”

to it, noting the accused sought pain management for chronic back pain from a workplace injury. However he didn’t accept Thompson’s claims that the plants were for personal use only. The unweighed plants were “healthy”, “bushy” and “stocky” with “a lot of head on them” as was typical of commercially-grown crops, Mr Vandersteen said. Each plant could possibly yield up to 300 grams of cannabis, he said.

Mr Vandersteen was also concerned about the high prevalence of firearms in the community. He ordered the forfeiture of the plants, pistol and ammunition, as well as that Thompson yield a DNA sample to police. Corrections staff had assessed Thompson as a medium risk of re-offending due to his previous similar crimes. Thompson was jailed for 90 days followed by an 18-month community corrections order, including mental health and drug treatment.

Dim view of the pokies By Cam Lucadou-Wells Opponents against a Zagame’s Berwick proposal for 10 extra poker machines have taken heart from a recent game-changing decision by the state’s gambling regulator. The Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation which will rule on the Berwick Springs hotel submission - refused an application for 20 more machines at Noble Park Football Social Club on 21 July. The outcome delighted the Alliance for Gambling Reform’s Tom Cummings, who noted that many of the venue’s purported economic benefits were “shot down” by the VCGLR. In the past, the commission would have been more persuaded by ‘benefits’ such as extra community contribu-

tions, capital works and jobs, he said. Mr Cummings, of Berwick, thought the alliance mobilised community opposition in this case and several other recent victories, such as a scuttled venue in Whittlesea. “I think what we’re seeing is a lot of community involvement in opposing these sort of applications,” Mr Cummings said. “People are getting motivated and mobilised to put pen to paper, to sign a petition. “There seems to be a groundswell.” In the decision, VCGLR acting chairwoman Helen Versey put “considerable weight” on problem gambling harms in one of the state’s lowest socio-economic areas. Ms Versey also deemed the extra

machines would lead to a “more acute risk of an increase in gambling related crime and social disturbance”. This was not mitigated by the social club’s promise to fund extra addiction counselling in Greater Dandenong, she found. Mr Cummings said while Casey was more socio-economically advantaged, it was still flooded with more than 900 poker machines and 13 venues. “Harm is harm. If you’ve got people funnelling through using those machines, it doesn’t matter where they live.” Victorian Local Governance Association gambling policy officer George Darroch also noted the VCGLR’s stricter interpretation of the “no net detriment” test.

A factor was recent research linking social harms to problem gambling, such as a correlation with higher rates of family violence, Mr Darroch said. “They’ve changed their interpretation quite dramatically and it’s more in line with community expectations.” In a submission to the VCGLR, Zagame’s has listed one of the community benefits as funding a $2.3 million renovation of the hotel with a larger bistro and children’s play area. The venue would also build a ‘community service booth’ with a telephone to access a taxi or gamblers’ help services, if the proposal was successful. Zagame’s also pledged to create five more full-time jobs and ramp up its donation program to sports and welfare groups to $100,000 a year.

The extra 10 machines would have a “relatively marginal” impact on problem gamblers, according to the submission. The venue was not in a low socioeconomic area, nor near schools or supermarkets, it argued. However nearby suburbs Berwick and Narre Warren South had higher than average levels of housing stress. Zagame’s expects to reap more than $1.5 million a year from the extra machines. Its 95 machines made more than $17.8 million in 2016-'17. In the same year, $127.1 million went down pokie slots in Casey. It is the second highest council area in Victoria. A date has yet to be set for the VCGLR hearing.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells The big stage holds no fears for a 14-year-old Narre Warren South singer. Since she was six, Livinia Walden has been performing in large choral concerts annually at Robert Blackwood and Hamer halls with the Australian Girls’ Choir. She took a further step, joining a select 56-strong AGC touring choir in regional Victoria and Tasmania in June and July.

The choir sang live on ABC Central radio in Bendigo, in the scenic Cataract Gorge in Launceston as well as in front of the Tasmanian Governor Kate Warner and an “invite only” audience at the opulent Government House in Hobart. It came after an audition, then an intensive three-day dance and music rehearsal throwing together singers from across the country. “It was a lot of work and a lot of fun,” Livinia said. The power of singing in a

large group, in unison or in parts, is an amazing thing, she says. “It’s a skill that’s so useful. It’s an instrument that you don’t have to carry around with you.” The Kambrya College student has become adept at any style from old-timers, pop to country. It will be a lifelong pursuit, even if she doesn’t know where singing will take her. As for next year, she plans to try out for more AGC national and international tours.

Nan robbed By Cam Lucadou-Wells

On 6 July, Neeson had taken the Corolla keys from his grandmother’s handbag, stole the garage remote control and took the car for several days, the court heard. When Neeson returned the car about 9pm on 10 July, he refused to tell the victim where he’d been. He went to bed at her home. Neeson later made full admissions to stealing the car and keys to police. On another occasion, his grandmother heard noises in her roof and discovered a ceiling manhole was open. She found Neeson hiding behind the bedroom door,

A man has pleaded guilty to breaking into his Cranbourne grandmother’s home through the roof and stealing her car. Joshua Neeson, a father of two who had relapsed into methamphetamine issues, had lived with his grandma on and off for the past two years, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told on 31 July. He had been arrested that day at Dandenong railway station on an outstanding warrant after not having enough money on his myki card, his lawyer said.

and called police when Neeson refused to call rehab then and there. On another night, he was discovered by his grandmother in her roof, in breach of his bail curfew at a Cranbourne West residence. Neeson was trying to find a bed due to not wanting to associate with drug users at the bail address, his lawyer said. “He’s made attempts at three different rehabs,” the lawyer said. Neeson was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court for sentencing on 3 August.

Intrusive brother refused bail By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man accused of defying an intervention order by breaking into his brother’s Hampton Park home and threatening him with a knife has been refused bail. The man denied the allegations - as well as claims that he was homeless and using methamphetamine - during his in-person bail hearing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 1 August. “I went to my brother’s to fix things with my parents ... not to make any trouble,” the man told the court. “I swear, I didn’t have a knife.” Days earlier, the man was accused of also demanding to enter his Narre Warren parents’ home and producing a knife while in an apparently drug-affected state.

Police claimed the man was an unacceptable risk on bail due to his “escalating” behaviour and “grave” concerns for community safety. The court was told the man had nowhere to live, used methamphetamine and was likely to go back to the brother’s residence. He was subject to three interim intervention orders, protecting his brother and his parents. The man was accused of breaking in by removing his brother’s bedroom flyscreen on 29 July. The brother said he discovered the accused’s mobile phone cover on his bed. That evening, the man allegedly returned and knocked at the door, saying he hadn’t slept or eaten for five days.

The brother, with his two young sons in tow, asked the accused to leave. The accused left and allegedly said: “Call the police. I’m not scared of them.” The accused later returned, standing in the driveway and screaming. His brother put a hand on his back and again asked him to leave. The accused pushed the brother over and pulled a knife. The brother retreated, grabbed a piece of wood and locked himself in his house, police told the court. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he needed proof of the man’s claims that he was “living with his missus” and that he worked fulltime as a roof tiler. The man was remanded in custody to appear at a later date.

Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the state-funded program would give practical support to councils.

“The new officers will complement the role of existing EPA based environment protection officers meaning more officers on the ground, more support and expert advice, and more investigations into compliance.”

The 15-month program will begin in September. It is part of the State Government’s $162.5 million budgeted response over five years to the EPA inquiry’s findings.

FSA/VICPOL0021/05

Officers from the Environment Protection Authority will be embedded in Casey council’s offices to improve the EPA’s response to pollution and waste issues. Casey is one of 13 Victorian councils to take part in the $4.8 million, pilot program, which stemmed from an independent inquiry into the EPA. The Officers for the Protection of the Local Environment (OPLEs) will work with the council and EPA to tackle small-scale complaints of illegal dumping, litter, noise, dust and odour at industrial sites and businesses. Their work is expected to help EPA’s regular officers respond to larger and more complex pollution reports, EPA southern metro manager Marleen Matthias said. She said EPA’s regular officers would continue to manage dust issues from the O’Grady Road, Hallam site. “The pilot aims to deliver a more localised and faster response to local small-scale waste and pollution issues. “It won’t only be about enforcement, a major focus for the OPLEs will be providing pro-active support and compliance advice to businesses in their regions.” The trial will encourage greater co-operation between the Council and EPA, Ms Mathias said. “EPA will work with the councils to formulate work plans for the officers that meet each municipality’s local needs.” Casey councillor Damien Rosario, in welcoming the move, said it would put “more people on the

FROM PAGE 1 BUYING an established home was only briefly an option for Kristy Lewis and Jay Stacey. The couple were renting in Chadstone and ready to buy their own house, but it quickly became apparent that building represented better value. “We had a look at established houses but we didn’t want go through an auction, where you don’t know if you’re going to get it, and also you don’t know what you’re getting, so we decided to build, where it’s pretty much a fixed price,” Kirsty said. “It’s just more affordable to build. When you buy established you get something smaller for your money and you have the cost of maintenance.” The pair built a four-bedroom, twoliving area home in Berwick Waters, a development by Frasers Property Australia and Mondous Property Australia. They were the first family to move into their street two and a half years ago, but are now surrounded by neighbours, parks and wetlands. “There’s lots of space and it’s a lovely neighbourhood because everybody here is

like-minded,” Kristy said. “The wetlands were a huge drawcard for us, as well as it being more secluded and private than other estates. Some of the estates we looked at were on a main road.” Since moving into Berwick Waters the couple have had their first child, Jack, who turned one in July. The family are regular visitors to Berwick Waters’ expansive wetlands with its walking paths and bridges, and are

particular fans of the area’s playgrounds. “We have a very good park within walking distance with lots of open space,” Kristy said. “There are built-in trampolines for the little kids, a flying fox, sandpit and the usual swings and slides.” Kristy works as a Registered Nurse in Doveton, less than 20 minutes’ drive from Berwick Waters, while Jay commutes to

Moorabbin for work. The pair are among many residents who live and work in the area, as opposed to commuting to the Melbourne CBD. The last census (2011) revealed almost 60 per cent of people who worked within the City of Casey also lived there.

Why list with one, when you can list with all

FRANK FACEY CELEBRATES CENTURY IN the early 1900s when Frank Facey opened his real estate business in Dandenong, Berwick was a beautiful country town where weary travellers would stop to refresh their horses before heading out to East Gippsland. Frank Facey envisaged the popularity of the south-east would grow as families and industry alike realised the untapped potential in the picturesque hills and valleys; however, nothing could have prepared him for the extent of growth that was to come. By the late 1900s, three generations of Faceys had succeeded in driving the business forward. Frank Facey First National Real Estate Dandenong, Narre Warren and Mulgrave were all thriving businesses, Facey Industrial-Commercial was leading the way in the Commercial and Industrial sector so, by 1994, the timing was perfect to expand into Endeavour Hills and Berwick. The first Berwick office on the corner of Langmore Lane and Gloucester Avenue introduced current day staff, Pater Watson (Director), Graeme Curtis and Elisabeth Gunness, as well as Greg Phillips, to the Facey extended family. Today, they offer an unparalleled level of experience as they draw on the decades of change which they have seen transform the area. By 1997 Frank Facey First National Real Estate moved offices to the current location in High Street, incorporating Hudson First National Real Estate. Hudson Real Estate had been operating successfully in Berwick since 1950 and Bill

BUILD IN LOTS OF ANTI-MUCK-UP FEATURES HOME BUYERS

GUIDE MAT SUCKLING DIRECTOR OF RMS HOMES HUDSONS ESTATE AGENTS. Hudson was a much valued local icon. When Frank Facey First National merged with Hudson First National Real Estate, there was no holding them back. The stage was set for a future of continued growth and success. The south-east was moving forward at an unprecedented rate and Frank Facey First National Real Estate was in the driving seat. By 1996 Monash University had opened the Berwick Campus. Hospitals, schools and industry were thriving in the south-eastern corridor and the extension of the Monash Freeway was a welcome necessity. The district attracted an ever increasing population, and continues to do so to this day, but against all odds, the township of Berwick has retained its old world charm and relaxed rural appeal. The tree lined avenues, 19th century architecture and extensive parklands continue to adorn the township, making it one of the most popular residential locations in the City of Casey. It’s hard to imagine what Frank P. Facey would think of the area now, but one thing is certain, his intuition was spot on when he opened that first real estate office in 1917. Next month, we continue to follow the major events and significant characters involved in the success of Frank Facey First National Real Estate/Neilson Partners First National Real Estate.

We have discussed many elements of buying - where to buy, how to obtain finance, what the impacts are of serviceability and a whole range of topics which are important for all first home buyers to know and understand. This week I want to talk about building. A lot of people get scared by the process but provided you have your eyes wide open you will not expect any surprises and be comfortable with the process. Obviously, I am very familiar with what we do at RMS! What our competitors do I have no clue. But I imagine some processes we have would be shared by others. A lot of disputes between clients and builders occur due to two fundamental and easily fixable reasons: communication and poorly prepared paperwork. As a rule of thumb, most builders aren’t necessarily very good customer service representatives. Most of the experiences people have with building, when it is negative, goes along the lines of “I could never get a hold of them”, “they said they would fix something and they never did” and other various issues on site where a client will ask a question and struggle to get an answer. The way I see it we have an obligation to be as transparent as possible. Whilst it is not important to know every detail of

construction, I believe it is crucial to let clients know as early as possible when there has been an issue on site, and how and when it will be rectified. At RMS we provide our clients with an update each and every Friday or Saturday afternoon (as trades tend to work on the weekend, so the job is always moving). It is important to set a standard in communication, and making clients feel comfortable knowing if they call their builder they will be greeted with a cheerful and attentive person on the other end. Secondly, paperwork is critical to delivering a successful build project. The reason most volume builders do not accommodate design or structural changes is because they cannot quality control the process in their major operations. At small to medium sized builder level it is more easily managed and supervised, making plan changes a little more feasible. However, the best bit of advice I can give when you are discussing your inclusions or build - whether it is with your sales representative or building supervisor, is to record everything on paper! He said / she said banter is no good. As my clients would know, I am exceptionally anal with paperwork! It may take a little time to get to site to make sure everything is correct, but it saves a lot of heartache and hassle later! Dot your I’s and cross your T’s. And then when you have done that do it again before any shovels are turned. 12359699-ACM31-17

ness, tax and accounting provides a solid framework for an outstanding professional advisory business.

Brothers are revving it up By Nick Creely Finding a more determined and competitive pair of brothers than Beaconsfield’s Tom and Brad Bramich would be a fruitless exercise. Tom, 20, and Brad, 16, are continuing to take the motorsport world by storm, and both are destined to be household names in the coming years. In the current Australian Superbike Championships, Tom currently leads the country in the Supersport 300 category with a total of 187.5 points, while Brad sits seven spots down in eighth spot with 137.5 points. Tom - sitting comfortably in the lead, has competed around the world, something that is holding him in good stead during the middle of a gruelling season. “I had a ride at the British Superbike Championship (BSB) which is the strongest domestic competition in the world, and then since then I’ve been riding in an R3 in the Supersport 300 category,” he explained. “My plan is just to finish off the season really well and continue to improve.” Tom’s preparation to race requires a lot of dedication, resilience and knowledge of the bike he rides, something he relishes each and every day. But it’s all for one purpose, to race overseas in the world’s most prestigious tracks. “After every race meeting, the biggest preparation is the bikes - we have to strip them down, we clean them and do the maintenance, and I just try to keep overall really fit - not a day goes by that you don’t do something in regards to racing,” he said. “I really want to race in Europe at the World Championships, not just for the racing but for the experience of it all - I feel like we’re doing all the right things and we’ve got good people around me, so I feel it’s possible. “I’ve been racing for six years so I probably have more experience than the other competitors and I’m really consistent - I’m not the fastest all the time, but I’m consistent and rarely crash.” As for Brad, at 16 he is already a 2015 Australian Junior 150 Champion and the 2016 Victorian Junior Honda CRV 150 Champion. Only four years younger than Tom,

his approach to the 2017 season is slightly different. “This year is my learning year for next year, because I will ride the Yamaha R3 in the Supersport 300 Class at ASBK and hopefully win the title, so I’m learning the tracks and the bike and next year hopefully be at the front and get on the podium,” he said. His inspiration to ride came from both Tom and his father only three years ago, and has now become obsessed with the sport.. “My dad used to race back in the day, but he stopped because he couldn’t afford it, and Tom got into it and I just loved it and started riding in 2014,” he said. “I love the speed and how you have to think about how you’re going to pass your opponent - it’s tough to be successful because it’s so expensive, you need to obviously have really good social skills and that to get sponsors to help you out.”

But just who is the better rider in their eyes? “I am definitely better than Tom,” Brad said with a chuckle. “The MotoGP is the World Championship and that’s where I want to be but I’d like to get to the top of Australia before anyone else. “Hopefully I beat Tom to it - he’s obviously 20-years-old now and hopefully it doesn’t take me that long.” But does Tom agree? “I’d hate to see Brad beat me, but he’s doing really, really well,” he said. “He’s probably faster than what I was at his age, so he’s doing a really good job.” The Bramich’s rise up the charts of the motorsporting world in Australia has been aided by the support of local businesses. “I’d like to thank Boardpro in Pakenham, Whinner Motorcycles in Narre Warren and Nelsigns in Narre Warren for their ongoing support,” Tom said.

Eagles help Ciara fight the battle - strength in numbers By David Nagel History would suggest that having strength in numbers is the best way to win a battle, well if that’s the case then Ciara Nelson is on the way to winning the biggest fight of her life. The affable 17-year-old Beaconsfield netballer has an inoperable brain tumour, deep in the midbrain, which was discovered after a fall in a netball game in June 2016. Ciara’s hopes for survival now rest in the hands of Dr Charles Teo - the Sydney-based world-renowned neurosurgeon and founder of the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation. Ciara is regularly seeing specialists and has scans sent to Dr Teo on at least a three-

monthly basis to keep close tabs on a tumour that is notorious for growing quickly. “The tumour is stable, but Ciara has increased swelling in the brain and there’s not a lot they can do to take away the headaches and nausea,” said Ciara’s mum Colleen. “Until the tumour increases in size, operating is not an option, so we just get on with life in the meantime.” For Ciara, getting on with life means still playing netball for her beloved Eagles, a club that has shown unbelievable support, not just to Ciara, but to her sisters Rylee and Jaime, and to a very appreciative Colleen. “This club means everything to us,” she said.

“Others going through similar situations are nowhere near as fortunate as us, we’re just very lucky to be part of a club environment and it all comes back to that. The support Ciara gets day after day, week after week, is just incredible - it’s just been amazing.” Ciara’s ongoing treatment comes with a hefty price tag. The netball and football clubs recently held a fundraiser and raised over $5400 to help the Nelsons with their ongoing fight. To donate, visit www.gofundme.com/ciara-nelsonsfight Strength in numbers - it’s Ciara’s best chance to win the fight.

Serong among the finest By Nick Creely TAC CUP REVIEW - ROUND 14 A stunning TAC Cup debut to Warragul’s Caleb Serong has inspired the Gippsland Power to a season defining two-point victory over the Dandenong Stingrays on Saturday. Wild winds lashed bayside Frankston on the weekend, with Serong (three goals) playing an inspiring role up forward in a performance laced with class. Just 16-years-old, Serong looked a class above throughout the game, and combined with his fellow debutants in Brock Smith and Sam Flanders, gave the Power a flair that upstaged their more highly fancied opponents. With a five-goal breeze to the City End, the Power couldn’t quite capitalise in the first quarter, kicking seven behinds to hold just a narrow six-point quarter time lead. An increase in pressure in the second quarter, combined with a lift from Stingray midfielders Hunter Clark and Will Hamill, saw the ‘Rays surge with the wind, kicking six-goals to take a 13-point half time lead. Injuries began to mount for both sides in what started to become a bruising affair, and in a fairly innocuous incident on the wing, Power wingman Matt McGannon broke his ankle in a bitter blow for the visitors. But a pair of Serong goals in the third quarter seemed to inspire the under-siege Power, but despite having all the play in the third, could only gain a margin under two-goals with a quarter to play against the wind. The ‘Rays - who were already down

two on the bench, allowed the Power the perfect start, with Austin Hodge and Nick Hogan slotting clutch goals to take the lead out to an ominous 22-points. A flurry of goals by the Stingrays late in the final term courtesy of some daring ball movement, especially from rangy half-back Mason De Wit, meant it was game on, with Riley D’Arcy (three goals), Clark (two goals) and Jai Nanscawen (two goals) looking dangerous in attack. But sticking to script, Serong took the match-winning contested mark on the wing after a clearing kick from defence with just seconds to play, with the healthy Power crowd erupting in delight. Gippsland coach Leigh Brown was delighted with the win, a result that means they remain in eighth spot with just four rounds to play. “It’s a really good win, and fantastic to be on the right side of a close game for once - to win a tight one is really pleasing,” Brown said. “Overall it was a great team effort there were some tough conditions with

Power defender Will Leslie runs the ball off half-back on Saturday. 171054 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS pretty strong winds but it was a 23-man performance.” Power’s Sean Masterson was a rock in defence all day, Callum Porter was excellent in the midfield once again, but Brown heaped special praise on his young trio playing their first games. “I thought the three young guys that came in - Brock Smith, Caleb Serong and Sam Flanders - were unbelievable in their first games, and just shows we have a bright future at the club.” For the ‘Rays, highly touted midfielder Hunter Clark was a colossal, and vied with Serong for best afield honours.

Using his vision in the stoppages and his incredible burst on the outside, Clark threatened to take the game away from the Power in a masterclass fourth quarter from the 18-year-old. Berwick defender Will Arthurson made his debut for the ‘Rays, and impressed with his composure down back. The loss did nothing to the Stingrays’ pursuit of a top four spot, with only percentage keeping them out. The Power returns to Morwell on Saturday to face the Geelong Falcons, while the Stingrays host Bendigo at Shepley Oval.

Tom De Koning is among five Stingrays invited to attend the AFL Draft Combine. 166487 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS first round of this year’s draft are naturally gifted midfielders set to light up the AFL in coming years, and both have enjoyed strong individual seasons. De Koning has been a strong presence up forward and in the ruck for the ‘Rays this year, with his height and agility a major strength. Gippsland Power duo Changkouth Jiath and Matthew McGannon have also been invited to take part in the combine, but McGannon is unlikely to feature after breaking his ankle over the weekend. In total, there are 83 young-

sters from around the country chosen in the Draft Combine, with 54 of those players coming from both Vic Country and Vic Metro squads. The combine is set to test the players both physically mentally over the four day event, with AFL recruiters in the stands scrutinizing their every move. Many skills tests, including the beep test, clean hands test, 30m repeat sprints and 3km time trial have been scrapped, with AFL clubs being given more allocated time to interview the youngsters and perform medical screenings.

Inspirational Dandenong Stingray youngster Aiden Bonar is among five ‘Rays selected to take part in the 2017 AFL Draft Combine. The 18-year-old has endured the cruel side of football in recent years, with two successive serious knee injuries hindering his impressive development. But after going through the rigours of rehabilitation once again, Bonar has played just the one match this season among only a couple in the last two years - but that was already enough for recruiters to sit up and take notice of his immense talent. Fittingly, against Northern Knights just two weeks ago in his return match after almost two years, Bonar kicked the opening goal of the match in a strong five-goal victory. The playmaker now has the chance to strut his stuff at the combine, which will run from 3 to 6 October 2017 at Etihad Stadium. Joining the highly rated Stingray will be fellow teammates Hunter Clark, Oscar Clavarino, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Tom De Koning. Clavarino - who co-captained Vic Country and co-captains both Dandenong and Haileybury College - is enjoying a brilliant season in defence and was the only Stingray to make the Under 18 All-Australian team at the recent National Carnival.

Stakes are high for Demons By Nick Creely VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 15 Sunday’s match between Casey Demons and Coburg down at Casey Fields certainly wasn’t one to remember. It was a game full of sloppy ball use, scrappy passages of play and extraordinary turnovers. Yet it was a result so critically important in Casey’s quest to make the finals that all of that can be overlooked. In the eventual 43-point win, talent overshone in the end, with the Demons maintaining their unbeaten run at home in 2017 and also holding onto seventh spot on the VFL ladder. In windy conditions down at Cranbourne, both sides struggled to adjust to the conditions in the first quarter, with only the Burgers managing to score a goal through some handy work from the talented Hisham Kerbatieh at the 25-minute mark. It took until the middle of the second term for the Demons to finally score their first major of the game, with AFL-listed forward Cam Pedersen kicking truly. Taking a narrow lead into half time, the Demons and Burgers once again struggled in the third quarter, before Dion Johnstone gave the home side the spark they needed with a vital goal late in the term to kick-start a stunning last quarter run.

Playing with a tad more flair, the Demons finally cut the gallant Burgers apart in a seven-goal last quarter, with goals to Sam Weideman, Ben Giobbi and Dion Johnstone in the first nineminutes of the quarter sealing the door shut. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t nervous at three-quarter time,” senior coach Justin Plapp said. “I really challenged the players about the effort and the fundamentals of the game. “I think our talent shone through in the end.” Sam Weideman (three goals) played a starring role for the Demons, while Corey Maynard, Josh Wagner, Jimmy Munro and Ben Kennedy all played strong roles in the midfield. With just four rounds to go, the stakes are high for the Demons, and Plapp is fully aware his side must simply keep winning. “It’s critical now,” he said. “It can mean top four, it can mean top eight, or missing out on finals all together. “It’s certainly about winning games of footy and bringing our best performance each week. “We’ve got to treat them like gold, so I’m glad to get through that one.” Round 16 sees the Demons travel to Trevor Barker Beach Oval to face the tenth placed Sandringham in another

must win game. Earlier in the day, the Demons’ Development League side defeated Coburg by 39-points, 15.16(106) to 11.1(67). Kieren Byers was named best for the Demons, while Mykelti Lefau kicked four goals in the win.

Casey Comets taste success By Nick Creely FFV STATE LEAGUES REVIEW - ROUND 17 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH EAST A terrific performance from the Casey Comets away from home has resulted in a 0-1 victory over Manningham United Blues at Park Avenue Reserve on Saturday. Although both sides are not in the running for the title, the Comets found the energy to win, with Alexander Van Heerwaarden finding the back of the net late in the game to hand them the three points. It’s been a tough old season for the seventh placed Comets, who have been up and down all season. In other matches, Warragul United won 2-1 over Caulfield, Langwarrin won 4-0 over St Kilda SC, Malvern City brushed aside Mooroolbark 3-0, FC Clifton Hill defeated Morwell Pegasus 4-1 and Mornington SC pipped South Springvale 2-1. STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH EAST Berwick City got back to winning ways with a convincing 4-0 win over Heatherton United on Saturday. City shot out of the blocks and were 1-0 up after just 4 minutes when star recruit John Carroll rose at the back post to powerfully header home a cross from Erkan Filiz. Heatherton threatened the

Picture: COURTESY OF PASSION CREATIONS PHOTOGRAPHY goals on a few occasions but Berwick goalkeeper Christian Morales was having an outstanding game and frustrated the visitors with some terrific saves. In the second half City took control of the game. Skipper Orlando Mejias finished off a fine team move with a curling shot into the top corner to make it 2-0. Then goals to Jarod Blackbourn and a wonder strike from Gary Davidson sealed the win for Berwick who remain in third place on the ladder. Berwick travel away to meet North Caulfield this Sunday, again hoping to keep in touch with league leaders Eltham and Doveton for the two promotion spots. Doveton, meanwhile, consolidated its spot inside the top two with a 3-2 victory over Old Scotch SC at Waratah Reserve. The Doves are now equal

at the top with 12 wins next to their name. STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH The much improved Bunyip Strikers notched up their second consecutive victory, defeating Chelsea FC 2-1 in an encouraging display on Saturday. With both sides managing to score in the second half, it was the Strikers who lifted in the second half, putting together a brilliant team performance to find a way to score and then hold their ground defensively late. After last week’s strong 4-2 win over the Casey Panthers, the Strikers are one of the form sides of the competition at the moment. The day wasn’t so positive for Drouin, who lost 5-1 to a powerful Rowville line up. Sitting on opposite ends of the ladder, the last placed Dragons battled hard but were ultimately outclassed by one of the top two sides in the competition. More positively, the Dragons - after a tough 4-1 opening half - were able to at least put in a better defensive effort in the second half. In other matches, Dandenong Warriors defeated Somerville 6-0, White Star Dandenong won 2-0 over Casey Panthers, Lyndale United were too strong for Old Mentonians 2-0 and Sandown Lions won strongly over Pakenham United 3-1. With just five rounds of football left to be played, Sandown and Rowville are the two likely to be promoted, while Pakenham sit seventh on the table.

Eagles flock to reunion By David Nagel A flock of former Eagles migrated back to Holm Park Reserve on Saturday for the Beaconsfield Football Club’s Past Players and Officials Luncheon. The annual event celebrated the premiership wins of the 1997 reserves and 2007 Under 18s, both sides achieving back-to-back success. The 1997 thirds premiership was also recognised on the day. Past Players president Michael Fisher interviewed club president Troy Robinson and senior coach Leigh McQuillen, while former coach Doug Koop - now coaching Saturday’s opponent Officer - was also on hand to reflect on his three seasons at the helm from 1995 to 1997.

Past Players secretary Lawrie Canning and his wife Kerrie did a power of work in organising the event, with Lawrie making an emotional speech and paying tribute to the club’s number-one ticket holder, Alex Robson, who passed away aged 93 in April this year. Frank Tagliabue returned to the club for the first time in many years, showing off his league goal kicking award from 1958 - where he kicked 83 goals. Fisher unveiled the Beaconsfield FC Past Players and Officials YouTube channel, where he has begun to download previous grand final footage from years gone by. Only three players from

Dean leads Gulls home By David Nagel A stunning eight-goal haul from interleague forward Andrew Dean has steered Tooradin to its first single-digit victory in almost three years - a character-building two-point triumph over Doveton at Westernport Oval. The Seagulls twice clawed their way off the canvas in the last term, overcoming a three-goal deficit after 10-minutes and falling behind once again after a strong rally was answered by Doves’ forward Shannon Henwood at the 25-minute mark. Doveton’s best player on the day, Nick Battle, then narrowly missed what would have been a goal-of-the-year contender, before Josh Muling and Jake O’Donnell rushed the ball forward into the Seagulls forward 50. The ball tumbled end-over-end, and Dean leading Doves’ defender Matt Jameson to the ball, picked up cleanly before turning onto his right foot and drilling home the winner from 40 out. Both teams had their chances in the dying minutes, with the Gulls ahead at the final siren. “It was a really good win because we kept on fighting and didn’t give up, even when things didn’t look that good in the

last quarter,” Tooradin captain Adam Galea said. “That’s what we’re trying to promote, having a bit of pride in the jumper and really digging deep to try and breed a winning culture. It’s all about knowing how to win, clubs like Berwick, Cranbourne and Narre Warren just know how to get it done, and it’s a huge part of the game.” Galea was full of praise for Dean, but not just for his goal-kicking exploits. “I think the goals were reward for effort, he deserves it,” Galea said. “With Deany, it’s not just about his lead-ups and his marking, he also applies enormous pressure in the forward line and locks it in.” Dean was a clear best on ground for the winners, while Julian Suarez kicked three and Muling, Nick Lang and O’Donnell had critical touches late in the game. The Seagulls now head to Berwick to try and keep their slim finals chances alive. “We’ve got nothing to lose this week, it’s a free swing for us and we know we can match it, we just need to do it for four quarters,” Galea said. “If we can take that next step and not drop away, I think we’re in with a big chance.”

In other games, Cranbourne booted 11 goals in the last quarter to run away with a 70-point victory over Pakenham, while Beaconsfield remains in contention for a top-three position after spoiling Officer’s party at Holm Park Reserve. The Kangaroos, who were celebrating the 300th senior game of club icon Ben Tivendale, fell 29 points short of victory. And Narre Warren kicked the highest score for the season, booting 42 goals in a brutal 272-point victory over Hampton Park at Fox Road. The Magpies had 17 individual goal kickers and cracked the 100-point barrier in the second quarter, booting 16.6 with the wind in an alarming display of disparity. The list of goal-kickers seems endless, with Aaron Wilson (8), Nick Scanlon (7), Luke Cody (4), Josh Tonna (4) and Dean Kelly (3) the five players who troubled the goal umpires on more than two occasions. Josh Tonna racked up a half-century of possessions while young ruckman Troy Mengler was impressive in just his second game of senior footy. Berwick remains three games clear at the top of the table after claiming an easy four points for the bye.

Doves a force to reckon with on the court By David Nagel Doveton has shown the race for this year’s South East Football Netball League title is wide open with a stunning 62-51 victory over ladderleading Tooradin on Saturday. The Seagulls were celebrating the 300th senior game of their clubrecord holder Shona Wells, but the party balloons were soon pricked as the Doves came out blazing. The visitors were outstanding in the first quarter, scoring 18-10, with Rahni Samason (goal shooter) unstoppable, scoring 14 goals alone. Hayley Stewart (centre), Akanisi Seeto (wing defence) and Zali Mifsud (wing attack) were on top through the midcourt, with Mifsud - a VNL player with the Ariels - providing a point of difference in just her fourth game for the season. The Doves maintained their ad-

vantage at half time before blowing the game apart with a dominant 1811 third term. The Seagulls cut their 15-goal margin back to 11 in the final quarter - but the damage had been done. Narre Warren has pounced on Tooradin’s vulnerability, taking top spot with a 57-33 victory over Hampton Park at Fox Road. The Magpies lost two of their first three games, but have now put together a brilliant stretch of 10 to take back their footing at the top of the mountain. Familiar faces like Erin Clark (WD), Tracey Dell (goal keeper), Gabby Dwyer (goal shooter) and Britt Mashado (C) all put in solid four-quarter efforts while Tayla Shannon (goal attack) had the radar dialled in, scoring 12 goals in an electrifying third term. The Magpies had this one in the bag after a flying 15-8 start.

Brooke Kiely (GK) and Karli Foster (goal defence) did well under siege for the Redbacks. Cranbourne will make its first finals appearance since 2013 after the Eagles proved too strong for Pakenham, winning 55-25 at Casey Fields. Players like Nat Sparks (WA), Tahlia Coates (GA) and Sharni Lambden (GK) struggled to break free of the Lions in the first term, but well and truly broke the shackles after quarter time. Coates was outstanding in the second quarter, scoring 17 goals as the Eagles stretched their one-goal lead out to 16 with a supreme 18-3 burst. Keely Wright (GK) and Carly Saunders (WA) never stopped trying for the Lions. And Beaconsfield bounced back to the winners list with a comforta-

ble 46-32 victory over ROC at Holm Park Reserve. The Eagles quality of play was nothing to write home about in the swirling breeze, but taking the four points was important after recent losses to Narre Warren and Tooradin. Rylee Nelson (C) was the standout transition player on the court with Brit Tyers (GD) and Emily Boribon (GA) also standing out from the crowd. Gemma Stacey (GA), Ash Barnett (C) and Mel Overdyk (GK) were important for the Kangaroos early, playing key roles in keeping the scores level at the first change. The Eagles pulled clear in the second and third quarters. Berwick had the bye. Doveton host Beaconsfield, under lights, in the match-of-the-round this week at Robinson Oval.

�� Reviews and news…

Dual cab love affair lives By Vani Naidoo, Marque Motoring THE Australian love affair with dualcab utes shows no sign of losing that fresh flush of romance with the vehicle’s ability to service both work and family commitments a major drawcard. The segment is highly competitive filled with all manner of temptations including utes that look like utes but drives like cars (well, almost), utes that have such a premium feel you couldn’t imagine getting it dusty, utes that are better off-road, those that are better on road, utes that can haul heavy trailers, others that would battle with an unbraked trailer, big and small, simple and swish. You get the picture… It is a lucrative market and Holden’s Colorado was not catching the eye. So the Colorado has received a major overhaul, both inside and out, with the entire range from single cab to crew cab and space cab in between, getting a makeover. But is it enough to turn the Colorado from a wallflower to the belle of the ball? We put the dual-cab 4x4 to the test. This Colorado is bolder and brasher than the one it replaces with a more aggressive stance, better form and a complementary new headlight design. It is important to Holden that the Colorado appeals to premium pickup buyers too and has styled it according-

ly. The interior is a reflection of that philosophy too, with the new Colorado presenting a more cohesive design and the fit and finish to match. There is still an abundance of plastic, mind you, just with a softer touch especially at those important touchpoints. The dash itself is simple but effective with the size of the buttons and dials in keeping with the fact that this is a ute and also considerately placed close to reach. The steering wheel has the controls you use most but the feel in the hand is more practicality than premium. The Colorado has never battled with space and this iteration is true to that with plenty of head, leg and wriggle room wherever you sit in the dual-cab ute. The rear pew is flatter than we like but is happy to accommodate three in relative comfort. No air vents back there though which is an annoying oversight. Cabin storage is available but not abundant. The centre console bin, glovebox and deep door pockets are more than useful but the front double cup holders are poorly placed and whatever happened to the retracting cup holders that were fitted just under the air vents? Remote start, 18-inch alloys and auto headlights and wipers are among the standard fare as well as a reversing

Model range Price: from $52,690 (plus on-road costs)

The much-improved Holden Colorado dual-cab ute is now likely to catch the eye. camera, powered driver’s seat, LED tail lights and a soft tonneau cover. The tray is deep and long - the size dependent on the style of Colorado you choose - with payload in the LTZ dualcab just over 1000kg. Towing capacity is 3500kg braked and 750kg unbraked which is in line with competitors. The LTZ features Holden’s lat-

est generation MyLink infotainment system with an 8.0-inch colour touchscreen with smartphone mirroring through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is a seven-speaker audio system, DAB+ digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity with USB capability. Phone pairing is simple and the

MyLink system is intuitive and easy to use with a good graphics package. The screen is a bit fuzzy at night though which also affects the picture shown by the reverse camera. There is only one engine available across the range - a lusty four-cylinder 2.8-litre turbo-diesel paired with a six-speed manual transmission or sixspeed automatic for $2200 more. The combination produces 147kW of power and 440Nm of torque in the manual version and 500Nm in the auto. That most of that torque is available from 2000rpm is one of the reasons the Colorado has the oomph needed when overtaking or hauling a load, even up a steep climb. Five star safety comes courtesy of, amongst others, seven airbags, traction and stability control, trailer sway control and hill-start assist. The LTZ also has forward collision alert, tyre pressure monitoring and lane departure warning to help you negate the perils of modern-day driving attitudes. To arrange a test drive contact Barry Bourke Holden, 755 Princes Highway, Berwick, phone 9707 2222.
