Jailed after crash An unlicensed and drug-affected driver who ploughed head-on into a car containing a family of five in Narre Warren North has been jailed. Emma Louise Phelps, 36, had told police she had been winding up a window as her car veered over doublewhite lines on a corner of BelgraveHallam Road on 4 April 2016. The other driver steered left to try to avoid a collision as Phelps overcorrected her car. She struck the family’s car on the driver’s side and caused it to roll over onto its roof. Phelps pleaded guilty to negligently causing serious injury, reckless conduct endangering persons and unlicensed driving at the County Court of Victoria.

The man driving the struck car was hospitalised with serious injuries including a closed head injury, multiple pelvic fractures and a torn shoulder. He endured four days in The Alfred trauma unit and eight months of intensive clinical rehab. His wife and three children were also injured, including a six-year-old transported to the Royal Children’s Hospital without her parents, Judge Susan Cohen noted during sentencing on 4 September. “I’m satisfied that the impact - both emotional and physical - to the ... family was very considerable. “Objectively, it could have been even more so, as a collision causing the vehicle to overturn could have caused even more serious consequences to any of the five occupants.”

A passenger in Phelps’ car who fled from the scene has not been identified, the court heard. Phelps had been smoking cannabis a few hours before the crash, she told police. There was no evidence that she’d received a driver’s licence, nor ever been taught to drive. “Whether lack of competence or experience as a driver of a car contributed to this collision is unclear,” Judge Cohen said. “But what is clear is that what driving skills you had were impaired by THC from the cannabis you had that day.” Phelps, as a cannabis user for “many, many years” would have been well aware that the drug would have dulled her driving reactions, the judge said.

She had been previously convicted of unlicensed driving in 2004, and more recently, several dishonesty offences. Phelps told police she’d driven her vehicle unlicensed at least 20 times. In mitigation, there was no evidence of excessive speed, wilfully reckless driving or “showing off”. A remorseful Phelps was upset, acknowledged her actions at the crash scene and was co-operative with police, Judge Cohen noted. Phelps’s moral culpability was also slightly reduced by her 21-year drug habit, which wasn’t a “wholly voluntary choice”. It began as part of a traumatic childhood, running away from home at 14 and enduring “more than one” abusive relationship.

However, Phelps had failed to engage with treatment and re-offended during a community corrections order in 2011. She required detoxification and long-term programs to prevent relapse from her “deep-rooted” addiction, which began as part of a traumatic childhood. Her rehab was in her interest, and the interests of the general community as well, Judge Cohen said. “It won’t be easy for you, but it’s in your hands to establish a stable lifestyle for your future.” Phelps was jailed for eight months, followed by an 18-month supervised community corrections order with drug and mental health treatment. She was disqualified from driving for two years.

Five burglaries in a night By Cam Lucadou-Wells A 19-year-old man has been jailed for up to five years over a spree of five aggravated burglaries on homes in Lyndhurst in one night last year. Andrew Leime, of Pakenham, pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary as well as two counts of attempted armed robbery, false imprisonment, assault and resisting an emergency worker during the spree. Leime had instilled fear into his victims who had been sleeping in the “sanctity” of their homes between 2.30 and 5.15am on 16 September, 2016, Judge Paul Lacava said during sentencing at the County Court. Two occupants suffered post-traumatic stress as a result of the most serious of the confronta-

tions, the judge noted. During the “dead of night”, Leime forced entry into three homes and entered through unlocked doors at two others. “It matters not (if doors were unlocked). People should be entitled to leave their doors unlocked,” Judge Lacava said. “You knew the homes were occupied at the time of your crimes.” Leime, who was under a youth supervisory order at the time, stole goods from some of the homes. He evaded police for some time before they were able to “subdue” him, Judge Lacava said. Leime spent his early childhood in a Kenyan refugee camp with his Sudanese-born parents and

siblings, the judge noted. It was a harsh environment, in which the then six-year-old Leime witnessed a beheading. He and his family settled as refugees in Australia in 2007, he learnt English at school, was accomplished at sport and made friends. He however got into fights when being racially taunted. In 2012, Leime spent less time at school and home, and fell into drinking and cannabis use. He rebelled against his father’s attempts to discipline him and hung with a Sudanese group that abused drugs and alcohol and committed crime. Leime’s lawyer submitted for the youthful accused to serve his term at a youth justice centre, or for an early release from jail on parole. Judge Lacava noted that Leime had coped rea-

sonably well with the support of other Sudanese prisoners during his 335-day stay in adult remand before the hearing. He accepted Leime’s early guilty plea as a sign of genuine remorse. “I appreciate that you’re a young offender and that I must have full regard to passing a sentence that gives you the best chance of rehabilitation. “But balancing against that is the fact that this is very serious offending in which you have instilled fear in the victims in their own home. “And the fact you have in the past been given dispositions designed to bring about your rehabilitation, which ... you have shunned.” Leime was jailed for five years, with a minimum two and a half year non-parole period.

Premier says road critics out of step with times Not so taxing By Bonny Burrows

Cardinia Shire Mayor Brett Owen, La Trobe MP Jason Wood and Casey Mayor Sam Aziz are calling for further Pictures: BONNY BURROWS works on the Monash Freeway. 172466 Works undertaken by the State Government involve the widening of the freeway from four to five lanes each way between the EastLink interchange and South Gippsland Highway, and from two to three lanes in both directions through to Clyde Road, Berwick. “He (Mr Wood) needs to speak to his own colleague, the Federal Infrastructure Minister, Darren Chester, who is, I understand, very pleased with the progress we are making,” Mr Andrews said. “People from his department, people from my department, are working very closely and really I thought there was a really strong partnership about this project, so I would advise, in the most respectful way, that Mr Wood should speak to his own colleague about the

position of his government because it seems to be at odds with his.” He said he understood commuter frustration while works were underway. “I know it can be very difficult to have to deal with the sort of congestion that’s created because of those works, but I’m very grateful to local motorists and families for putting up with that,” Mr Andrews said. “Ultimately, it’s going to be a much better road for the investment we are making. So thanks very much for everybody.” Mr Wood said he would continue to lobby for the works and, with the local mayors’ support, would start a community petition.

Cranbourne residents feeling lost this tax season can get a little help from the Australian Tax Office thanks to a pop-up kiosk in Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre. The kiosk will be set up inside the shopping centre from Monday 4 September to Saturday 9 September to help local residents get the most out of the ATO’s digital products and services. Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson said the kiosks will allow people to get a better understanding of ATO products and how they can maximise their tax return. “Our staff will be at each pop-up office to provide helpful tutorials and on the spot demonstrations,” she said. “In addition to online tax lodgements, we also have a range of other online services to help people manage their tax and super affairs, including our myDeductions tool in the ATO app.” “MyDeductions allows you to snap, save and store your individual income tax deductions in one convenient place. “It is a great way to keep track of your expenses without having to worry about lost and faded receipts.” For more information on our pop-up kiosks, visit ato.gov.au/ popup or visit Facebook and search Cranbourne pop-up office. The pop-up kiosk in Cranbourne will be available between 9am and 5.30pm Monday to Wednesday, open until 9pm on Thursday and Friday as well as open 9am to 5pm on Saturday.

the local works. But with these works yet to be committed to and only a portion of the Federal funds spent on a business plan, Mr Wood argues the state has been stalling progress to make the Federal Government “look bad”. “Either the State Government is absolutely incompetent or they’re deliberately not spending the money so we don’t meet our commitment,” Mr Wood said. Premier Daniel Andrews responded to Mr Wood’s claims during a visit to Pakenham on 1 September. The Premier told the Gazette that despite Mr Wood’s “confusion”, the Federal Government was “very pleased” with the project’s works.

12363626-HM36-17

Premier Daniel Andrews has defended his government’s works on the Monash Freeway, despite drawing criticism from Federal La Trobe MP Jason Wood and local mayors for “stalling crucial works” on the $1 billion project. Federal La Trobe MP Jason Wood and Casey Cardinia mayors Sam Aziz and Brett Owen are advocating for the major project to include the extension of O’Shea Road, Berwick, to the Beaconsfield interchange and widening of the freeway from Warrigal to Cardinia roads. The trio say the works are “absolutely critical” for the area’s traffic flow and local economy. Cardinia Mayor Brett Owen said the O’Shea Road extension would create a new connection between Casey and Cardinia and provide a parallel east-west route to the M1 Freeway. “This is an important link in the Casey-Cardinia Corridor Growth Area as it provides connection between the two municipalities, to employment opportunities and to health and recreational facilities,” councillor Owen said. “The delivery of jobs in Cardinia shire is key in reversing vehicle movements towards the city and, therefore, it is crucial that these jobs are accessible.” Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said seven out of 10 residents left the two shires to go to work and “this should be reversed”. He said there was interest from hightech businesses to build in the area, bringing with them jobs, but the current road network was a major deterrent. “Our fear is if the State Government keep procrastinating on these works, they’ll (the companies) go elsewhere,” councillor Aziz said. “The money’s there, we just need to the State Government to do its part.” According to the Federal Government, the State Government was given $500 million of Commonwealth funds in April 2016 to complete the Monash upgrade, and had promised to include

Rhyme time for the hams By Cam Lucadou-Wells Dr Seuss’s whimsical characters recently roared into life at Narre Warren North Primary School. Students and staff all made bold appearances as The Grinch, a Wocket, a litter of Cats in the Hat and Thing Ones and Thing Twos. The dress-up theme was part of exploring digraph sounds - not to mention a healthy dose of rhyme - as part of the school’s literacy program.

Most of the native grasses - again good feed for native birds - had been lost. “The mowing equipment ... is too large, they go too fast and when spraying weedicides, they misidentify, overspray and allow drift to kill adjacent natives.” She said some councils had banned spraying due to its toxicity to humans, animals and the soil’s worms and essential bacteria. “It’s not a one off. It’s continuing,” Ms Rainey said. “If it’s happening here, it’s happening all throughout the City of Casey.”

Residents have also confirmed similar destruction in a laneway between Tasman Place and Hobbs Court in Endeavour Hills. Angelo Gaiardo said several shrubs planted by residents in the lane had been removed by Casey, with all but one of the replacement plants later destroyed by weedkiller. Casey city presentation manager Dave Richardson said the council had recently removed the Quarry Hill Drive shrubs after people complained feeling unsafe walking at night. “After consulting the resident who maintains the walkway, council removed the shrubs that would have been too woody if pruned and carried out pruning works on the other plants with the resident present. “Council has been advised that a contractor mistakenly sprayed in this area despite being advised not to.

“The contractor has taken full responsibility for this and will be replacing the plants once they have ascertained what isn’t going to survive.” Mr Richardson said the Tasman Place overhanging shrubs were removed and replaced due to shading the pathway and causing it to become slippery with moss. “Council has not been made aware of any issues with weed spraying in this location.” Mr de Jonge said Casey should adhere to its self-described goal to “protect” its “green and natural spaces”. He said contractors should be appropriately skilled and have a value system consistent with the council’s goal. “The lack of environmental care by supervisors and contractors is all too obvious.”

Residents who maintain a Berwick laneway garden have accused Casey Council and its contractor of needlessly destroying scores of plants in recent years. Joy Rainey has for years planted and tended a stunning variety of native shrubs and flowering groundcovers beside the short lane between Quarry Hills Drive and Princes Highway. She says up to 80 trees and shrubs had been routinely destroyed by contractors’ weed killer or slasher in the lane as well as a nearby roadside reserve next to the highway in the past four years. “It’s very worrying that the contractors in the City of Casey don’t seem to be able to recognise a weed from a native plant.” Recently, whole shrubs were pulled out of the lane because walkers had complained to the council they feared of people hiding in the bushes. Ms Rainey says the undergrowth was a haven for native birds not only to feed, but to hide from predators. In recent weeks, some of the 20 replacement plants planted by Casey and volunteers were mistakenly sprayed by contractors. Resident Geoff de Jonge said the contractor allegedly targeted “tiny blades of grass” with “wide circles of weedicide” that spread for metres across the lane’s garden bed, “One contractor stated that he had been instructed by the Casey supervisor that not a blade of grass must remain. “Why? I wonder, what is the mortal danger. “Ratepayers pay twice, first for

The Berwick News carried a front page story (31 August) detailing the response to Casey Council’s withholding of funds from 3SER. This response was, as I read it, the words of just one member of South Eastern Radio. True, the person interviewed is an officebearer, but it is my understanding that he is also, to a large degree, as president and station manager, the person directly responsible to the committee and members for the compliant operation of this community radio station. More than one year ago, as a member of and broadcaster on 3SER, I wrote to Casey Council and 3SER FM raising serious related issues. Management, or more accurately, the president, removed me as a broadcaster and then ignored the reality of my concerns. Casey Council, at that time, simply did not act on my correspondence, not even to test the accuracy of it. What I am unable to comprehend is why other office-bearers and other members continue to allow one man to ride ‘roughshod’ over them. This, in my view, is a clear indication of the ‘management style’ of the current president. I ask what will be, (or is) changing to ensure the radio station is operating at a standard that is acceptable, not only to Casey Council, but also its members and the general community who pay rates from which the allocated funding is derived!

We have established without doubt that unless and until there is a substantial change in management and office-bearer positions, standards will never improve. On what basis will council determine this to the satisfaction of all, including the general community? Given the words of Mr Morton, Casey Council funding is but one type of funding and he promotes it as no more important than any other. On this basis, I’m not sure why he feels the need to so heavily defend himself. On the other hand, Councillor Wayne Smith is to be congratulated for his stance on this critical issue. Certainly, being a Casey Council delegate at 3SER would be extremely worrying. Barry Drayton, Officer.

Support withdrawn In reference to your article (Berwick News, 10 August), in which Cr Flannery apologised to the council for being a “keyboard warrior” when he was president of the CRRA, I would like to remind Cr Flannery that he was not the only one that started the group, and of the reasons that the group was started. I was also a founding member, and in making his “humble pie apology” he speaks for himself only. I have had many calls from members that supported Rex Flannery in his bid to become a councillor - this support was based on his opinion and also the opinion of all members of the group. That opinion was that the CEO Mike Tyler

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS had to go because he had been in that position for over 21 years, without the position being advertised and open to any other proposals. His opinion, also the opinion of the group, of Sam Aziz was not high. Aziz has not changed, in the opinion of residents and exmembers, I speak on their behalf, that support base for Cr Flannery has now been withdrawn. I was arrested by the police, over Aziz for sending him too many emails, (seven in all, which I had sent to all councillors) of articles published by the Herald Sun, in relation to the way this city was being run. No charges were laid and the case was dismissed by the court, a waste of police resources and ratepayers' funds. l along with some current and ex-members have not changed our views on this council. This apology was not made on our behalf. I cannot speak on behalf of the CRRA as I am no longer an active member, but I am of the opinion that they would not accept that Flannery’s “humble pie apology” was also made on their behalf. Councillor Flannery was elected because of his statements to the group that he would not rest until he achieved his aims, and the aims of the group. It now appears that as a councillor he has joined the pack that feeds him, and his commitment to the people that supported him has been withdrawn by virtue of his apology. William Bryan, Narre Warren South.

On Wednesday 6 September, the Cranbourne Berwick News Facebook page shared the story of VicRoads temporarily reducing the speed limit at a fatal blackspot on South Gippsland Highway, Cranbourne East. The announcement was made three weeks after a mother and daughter were killed in a two-car crash as they pulled out from Lighthouse Christian College. Residents say they had been calling for a speed limit reduction for a decade. Some reacted strongly online. Brooke Wilson: These parents really need to stop pulling out in front of other drivers and even re-sit their licences ... it’s an absolute joke how often they pull out in front of oncoming traffic! How is it that many parents from another local school can pull out of Devon and Craig roads safely without causing any accidents but there is so many issues coming out of there?

Angela Davies: The school needs to also address the issue of the parents endangering our lives when they continuously keep crossing the highway. The school should never have been built there. Leigh Buchanan-Gregson: So many other roads an driveways along this highway that don’t have accidents. This still won’t stop the bad choices they make all the time pulling across the highway. I’m sure it will become a great revenue spot for the cameras. Kevin James Swallow: How the school was ever snuck into existence without any warning signs to approaching motorists is a mystery to me and a real smack on the knuckles to the council, VicRoads and the self-proclaimed ’church’ that hid it for so long. Lisa Marie: I don’t know about anyone else in this area but as a Junction Village resident I can say myself and my neighbours never saw this person come around asking

for us to sign a petition and I feel our little community always gets forgotten. We have issues with cars leaving the Mayfield estate as they do a u-turn opposite Ballarto Road to go back towards Cranbourne and they fail to give way to oncoming traffic and to those leaving Junction Village. There have been quite a few accidents on the highway near us, most recently a truck hit a car and pushed it into the median strip. I hope if VicRoads changes the speed limit outside the school that they also think about what to do about all the traffic near us as, it’s only going to get busier once the Acacia Estate is finished Norbit Murphy: Forget the politics! Kids are unsafe. Fix it. Argue about who’s at fault later. Mike Schendzielorz: Always Vicroads’ response - reduce speed limit.

SOUTH EAST TATTOO REMOVAL Highway Patrol officers Ben James, Harry Lazarou, Luke Bull and Andrew Cusworth during Picture: GARY SISSONS Operation Prominent. 171785

Booking spree By Cam Lucadou-Wells More than 1100 penalty notices were handed out in a 10-day traffic blitz by police in Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong in August. Operation Prominent was held between 10-19 August in response to a high number of lives lost on roads in Melbourne’s South-East this year. During the highly visible blitz, police breath-tested 4388 drivers and handed out 1103 infringements for speed, alcohol-drug levels, distraction, seatbelts and fatigue. Up until the operation, 18 people had died on South-East roads including a mother and daughter in a two-car crash on South

Gippsland Highway, Cranbourne East, on 10 August. Inspector Tom Nairn, of Victoria Police’s southern metro region division 3, said that 11 of the fatalities involved poor decision making and driver behaviour. “We make no excuses for challenging this behaviour, pulling people over who are speeding, intercepting people who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol and prosecuting them to the full extent of the law,” Insp Nairn said. Drivers were making choices that lead to fatal consequences, he said. “People in this area are making a choice to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol; they’re making a choice to speed

or drive when they’re not authorised to do so. “Tragically, these choices can result in people losing their lives and leaving families and friends without their loved ones.” Among the offenders detected during the operation was a male P-plate driver allegedly travelling at 179km/h in a 100km/h zone on Ballarto Road, Cardinia, at 4.58pm on 14 August. He was expected to be charged on summons, and his car impounded for 30 days, costing him $972. A female driver was also fined $595 and lost six demerit points when caught speeding at 110km/h in a 70km/h zone on Beaconsfield-Emerald Road, Dewhurst, about 5pm on 12 August.

A $1.5 million synthetic soccer pitch will be built at Narre Warren South P-12 College for community use. Addressing the dire shortage of soccer pitches, the floodlit facility will be available for training and matches by students and the community at large. It is funded by the State Government’s $50 million Shared Facilities Fund used for building community assets on school grounds. Narre Waren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley said the pitch would ensure “more young people get to hit the pitch and shoot for goal”. “Hopefully, the new pitch will help unearth Australia’s next soccer star like Harry Kewell or Tim Cahill.” College principal Rob Duncan said it was particularly “terrific news” for local sporting clubs. “(They) will be able to share outstanding soccer facilities in an area where there are few proper amenities for soccer. “It will also be a fantastic resource for our students to use on a daily basis.”

whose infant child was kept out of her care - even when the only concern was her inability to find a home. “If a 16-year-old can’t get accommodation in Victoria, where does that leave those who might be considered less vulnerable?” lawyer James Gorman said. “Are we really comfortable as a society with the idea that a young mother should be separated from her baby solely because she can’t find a home?” VLA family, youth and children’s law executive director Nicole Rich said about a third of child protection cases that went to court did not require the child to be removed from home. “Concerns around general hygiene and parenting skills, for example, could be dealt

Casey young people lead the state for accessing Victoria Legal Aid, which has announced a boost to its child protection unit. According to a recent report, more than 1800 young people from Casey accessed the system in a 12-month period. Statewide, the most common legal problems facing young people are child protection cases involving assault, family violence or burglary. Child protection applications are also the most expensive on the VLA’s books. On 6 September, Victoria Legal Aid announced the trial of an early-intervention child protection unit to help vulnerable families and children before they go into the pressurised court system. The trial, which starts in 2018, is part of an action plan announced by the service to boost legal and non-legal support. The VLA will also pilot an initiative for early legal advice for pregnant women at risk of having their child removed shortly after birth, and provide more support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and children. The service highlighted a case of a 16-year-old mother

Sleeping rough as rentals soar By Brendan Rees The City of Casey ranks second among 15 Melbourne suburbs where rental affordability has plummeted. Figures from the Council for Homeless Persons (CHP) show affordable rental houses in Casey plunged from 70 per cent in 2007 to just 13 per cent a decade later. Desperate people are sleeping rough in parks, cars, abandoned houses, and in Cranbourne’s Salvation Army carpark as skyrocketing rental prices force people out of the housing market, welfare services warn. “It’s a grim situation for low-income earners, who find that there is nowhere to escape high rents, and that the social housing safety net is inadequate. Moving further out is no longer the silver bullet to reducing rent stress,” said Council to Homeless Persons policy and communications manager, Kate Colvin. “Our housing system is failing the most vulnerable, and the result is rising homelessness. Victoria’s public housing levels are the lowest in history, and 35,000 people are waiting for social housing.” Ms Colvin said the State Government planned to deliver 6000 new social housing properties over five years, but given the scale of the problem federal action to boost social housing was needed. “Otherwise, the state is just fighting a battle with one hand behind its back.” “Providing housing that people can afford is the single most important way to reduce homelessness. We want to see 100,000 homes dedicated to low-income earners delivered over five years nationally, 30,000 of which would be allocated to Victoria,” Ms Colvin said. Among those desperate for help was Andrew, who became homeless after being made redundant from his job in tree farming in 2014. Andrew, who did not wish to reveal his surname, had a marriage breakdown, and could no longer afford the mortgage on their home. “I’ve gone through the worst of it, but it has been an experience,” he said. “I started getting depressed, so one day I headed over to Pakenham and ended up pitching a tent over there near the railway line. I stayed there for two months.” Andrew said he fell into depression until he found shelter in a rear shed at the Salvation Army Community Support Centre in Cranbourne. “The last three months have been pretty good, but the nine months before that I was pretty down and out. I’ll stay here because I’ve got a warm doona and clothes in a little shed here, so if it rains I’m dry. It’s only an emergency though.

A homeless person sets up their home in the rotunda at the Cranbourne Salvation Army Community Support Centre. 172555 I’m more comfortable now. In the past, it’s been a bit rough,” “They asked me to be a volunteer here, so I’ve taken that on. I do a couple of days a week fixing up their gardens and the lawns. It gives me a purpose in life.” Andrew said he was hopeful of finding a job soon. “I’ve got a bloke who owns a farm, and I’m waiting for him to give me the go ahead to head over there because there’s six months work there,” he said. State Member for Cranbourne District Jude Perera said the State Government had added more than 1100 social housing properties, “and more than 600 new properties will come online this coming year through purchasing and leasing programs.” “This record investment will help more than 19,000 Victorians to access and sustain housing, and will deliver more than 6000 social housing units,” Mr Perera said. “There are residents doing it tough, some doing it tougher than others through no fault of their own, and that’s why the Andrews Labor Government is investing a record $799 million in housing and homelessness support for those who need it most, and we are preparing for the future through a $2 billion investment in our social housing growth fund,” he said. WAYYS Cranbourne executive officer Leanne Petridis said the waiting list for public housing in Casey was more than 20 years, with those on the priority list waiting up to three years. “During the last financial year, we had 387 clients who were living in rooming houses or caravan parks. We had 178 people who were sleeping rough so that

would mean either in their cars or simply under bridges, and camping out.” “It’s important to remember that those figures are people who are coming into a service that’s not actually a housing service. So they’re attending even though they know they can’t get housing from us.” She said some people were not homeless, but were paying up to 70 per cent of their income in rent, leaving not much to afford food. “They’re struggling with housing stress that’s actually quite extreme. That will continue to be a growing concern for this area.” Cranbourne Information and Support Service manager of volunteers Michael Cooney said they had had to double their volunteer intake to 40 as more people sought crisis support. “I think it’s fair to say that we have probably had a 20 per cent increase (in clients) in the last five years. On average, we’ve been getting just under a thousand new clients each year which gives us an indication what’s happening outside.” Cranbourne Salvation Army Kelly Jose said the organisation was stretched for resources. “They (homeless) are sleeping in our car park and putting up tents around the building and into a little alcove where it’s warmer and away from the wind. We are changing as the need arises. We never used to do breakfast and lunch here. There is a need for it now, so we’ve got the food trucks that come in which is really good,” Ms Jose said. She said the only option for some people was a boarding house. “A lot of them are scared of boarding houses. They feel safer in their car.” Ms Kelly said they assisted up to 100

people each week with some so relieved just to receive a shower. “At least they can have a nice warm shower and breakfast and lunch here. We provide tents and sleeping bags, but in this weather it’s not always ideal. The shortage of housing makes it extremely difficult.” Casey Councillor Geoff Ablett said council would be holding a summit with welfare agencies within the next month to “find the best model” of improving housing affordability and homelessness. “What I’m aiming for is a place where people know they can get a bed, but also a meal by working with the other agencies to do food vans and toiletries and get a bit of dignity back in their lives,” Cr Ablett said.

“We really need to do more than what we’re doing. We have some fantastic agencies doing a lot of great stuff, but if we pull everyone together and have a summit meeting we may find a way we can do things better working with each other and getting a bigger bang for our buck.” CHP chief executive Jenny Smith said the housing crisis was failing Victorians and driving increased homelessness. “There’s little in the private rental market for low-income households, and not enough social housing to catch people who are being pushed to the edge,” Ms Smith said.

Our Mick is serving still By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Smart teen’s prized film By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Mick Morland, right, with wife Kay Morland. That grant will go to a recipient close to Mr Morland’s heart, Ms Howell said. She said Mr Morland was a regular supporter of the foundation’s charity dinner. As a councillor, he helped to establish the reborn foundation when it branched into Casey. Mr Morland was keen to join the foundation as a director shortly before he died after being struck by a car on 24 June.

“He has been a huge supporter of the community and saw the potential that the Casey Cardinia Foundation had to make a significant difference in the local community.” Since 2003, the Casey Cardinia Foundation has distributed more than $430,000 to community groups through its annual grants program. To donate to the grant, go to caseycardiniafoundation.org/ donate/

A Berwick teenager who shot a smart film on a smartphone has taken out a national award. Callum Pritchard, 14, who attends Beaconhills College, recently won the Australian Kids Flick Pick Award as part of the annual SmartFone Flick Fest (SF3). His film Behind Closed Doors also ran a close second just 13 votes shy - for the fest’s People’s Choice Award. “I guess it’s encouraging to know other people are liking what I’m doing,” Callum said. “They seemed quite surprised with the film, given I was so young.” The film which follows a teenager living in a domestic violence household attracted rave comments as well as more

than 12,000 views on the fest’s Facebook page. “Wow Callum, very moving and powerful, so realistic,” wrote one commenter. “OMG wow. I recognised so much of that. Excellent production,” stated another. The film, which was shot on location around Berwick as part of a school project, shows technical mastery that stretches the potential of Callum’s hand-held device. There’s slow-mo action, dramatic soundtrack, fast, silky editing and crisp lighting. Though there’s a roaming hand-held feel, it’s easy to forget it’s captured on a smartphone. He recently told Star News that he thinks about the quality of lighting and the sharpness of image as he films.

Then he weaves together scenes using movie-editing software on his tablet. His film’s topical, heavy subject matter was chosen because simply, domestic violence shouldn’t happen, he said. “It’s thought that domestic violence just affects the parents, but it also affects the people around them. “It affects so many people. I think just getting the word out there might just help.” Callum’s next school project is filming a 30-second commercial for Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre - with the hope that the centre might use the ad. He says shooting ads helps broaden his repertoire. “I think film-making is definitely something I want to continue with.”

The late Casey mayor Mick Morland’s legendary community service continues to grow. Since his funeral service in June, more than $5000 in donations has been channelled to the philanthropic Casey Cardinia Foundation. At the request of the Morland family, mourners were asked to donate in lieu of flowers. The funds will be held in trust, along with $25,000 donated by Casey Council, to establish an annual community grant in Mr Morland’s name. Casey Cardinia Foundation executive director Therese Howell said the grant was expected to also receive donations from community and sports groups who wished to honour Mr Morland in an ongoing way. “This is a wonderful collaborative opportunity for the community to honour Mick. The annual grant is expected to align with Mr Morland’s values; he supported projects that underpinned community wellbeing, Ms Howell said. He was particularly fond of projects for young people, sports and agencies for disadvantaged people. On 30 October, the foundation is also set to name one of its 14 community grants after Mr Morland at its annual charity dinner.

Walk is quite the journey It’s been quite a journey for Denise Lyons even before she sets off on her 32-kilometre walk from Nar Nar Goon to Hampton Park in memory of her dear sister Anne. On a blog in recent weeks, she posted touching tributes and photos of close family and friends who have succumbed to the ‘forgotten cancers’, such as Anne and her late father. She’s been reunited with some of Anne’s closest friends in the process. Ms Lyons, who was diagnosed with cancer herself six years ago, is trekking on 9 September to mark the 15th anniversary of her sister Anne’s death. Anne was just 30 when first diagnosed with cancer. She stayed with Ms Lyons during the day after several of her surgeries. She still loved life even while living with the illness for seven years, Ms Lyons said. “She loved life even though she did life very tough.” Both Anne and her father - who died of pancreatic cancer - were those sort of people who “could talk to anyone about anything”. “They both could talk the leg off an iron pot.” Ms Lyons, who is a personal assistant at Dandenong Hospital, is hoping to raise awareness and funds for Cancer Council Victoria’s Forgotten Cancer Project. The project focuses on the less common cancers - ones other than afflicting the breast, lung, bowel, melanoma and prostate. They receive little research funding and have higher mortality rates - some with

five-year survival rates as low as seven per cent. “I just wanted to keep it fresh in everybody’s mind that funding isn’t going into these forgotten cancers. “This has to be in your face or we’ll never find a cure for cancer.” Ms Lyons’ walk, in a way, covers the geographical arc of Anne’s life. She starts at the Nar Nar Goon milk bar, in front of the home where she and Anne grew up. And then travels via Pakenham, Officer, Beaconsfield and Berwick to the site of Anne’s funeral - St Kevin’s Catholic Church, Hampton Park. She’s not daunted by the long road ahead, but looking forward to the conversations with friends and family joining her at various stages of the walk. “The conversations will be really beautiful, heartfelt and personal. “When you walk with someone, it’s different to when you’re sitting around the table. You walk forward and don’t look at each other - people reach into their heart and tell you their story. “They don’t feel intimidated and confronted by that face-to-face contact.” Ms Lyons only took up walking after her own cancer fight six years ago. “In the past, exercise and me never went hand in hand. “It’s something that’s life-giving, especially when you’re walking in the quiet and in the landscape.” To donate to the cause, go to myownway2017.everydayhero.com/au/annie-sway

The award, which appreciates the loyalty of long-serving LIV members, came as a surprise to Mr Collins who admits he did not initially envisage himself to be in the industry for this long. “It’s surprising because I was doubtful I’d last one year. (The industry was) pretty tough in those days,” Mr Collin said. “My contribution has been my dedication to the welfare of my clients. “My records show that I have over 10,000 wills and, on the dark side of the profession, I have done may thousands of divorces and criminal matters.” Educated at Melbourne University and awarded the higher degree of Masters of Law, Mr Collin established his business in 1966. After initially setting up practice in Collins Street, he later relocated in the 1970s to serve the legal needs of residents in Melbourne’s South East. Since then he has handled

Roundabout for multiple crash site

Casey stands true blue

Hampton Park will be home to Victoria’s newest roundabout as works begin to upgrade the intersection of Pound Road and Shrives Road. Member for Narre Warren North Luke Donnellan and Member for Narre Warren South Judith Graley attended the site on Friday 1 September to officially announce the beginning of the $7.5 million project. The current give way signs at the intersection will be replaced with a two-lane roundabout and new walking paths, guard rails and street lighting will also be installed. Between 2008 and 2016, there were 27 recorded crashes at the intersection, with nine people suffering serious injuries as a result. With Pound Road carrying more than 30,000 vehicles a day and drivers risking their lives at the intersection, the new roundabout is expected to improve traffic flow and safety. Mr Donnellan said the roundabout had been a long time coming. “The community has remained patient while we’ve worked through the land acquisition and planning processes and it’s great to see construction starting,” he said. “This vital upgrade will improve traffic flow for the more than 30,000 people that use Pound Road every day.” Ms Graley said the new intersection will be a boon for local road users. “We’ve listened to locals every step of the way, and now we’re getting on with this important safety upgrade,” she said. “Locals know how hard it can be to get through this intersection during peak times; the new roundabout will make it safer and easier for people to get to where they need to be.” The project will be complete by mid2018 and drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are asked to take extra care with reduced speed limits in place and road workers on site.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council has affirmed its support for Australia Day to remain on 26 January, rebutting moves from other Melbourne councils to ‘change the date’. Councillor Susan Serey, who moved the motion, said the campaign to move the date was “undermining our history and our heritage”. Concerned residents needed to be reassured that Australia Day was “here to stay” in Casey, Cr Serey said. “We’ll be making it bigger and better than before.” As someone with migrant parents, Cr Serey said Australia Day was a unifying day of celebration and commemoration. It was a chance to reflect on the “things that make Australia a great place to live” as well as the “opportunities for everyone”, she said. Australia Day marks the landing of British settlers in the First Fleet in Sydney Harbour in 1788, a day that’s also seen as marking the invasion of the Aboriginal-occupied continent. Yarra Council was condemned by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Premier Daniel Andrews after it recently voted to no longer recognise Australia Day and to stop holding citizenship ceremonies on 26 January. It will instead hold a smoking ceremony to acknowledge the loss felt by the Aboriginal community. In a recent editorial, Yarra mayor Amanda Stone described the date as a “day of mourning”. “For many, it is not a day for celebration but instead marks the start of the systemic extermination of their culture.” Cr Serey’s motion to back Australia Day was supported unanimously by her colleagues at a

Farida, Hussein and Shadia celebrate Australia Day at Balla Balla Community Centre, Cranbourne this Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS year. 164444 meeting on 5 September. Councillor Rosalie Crestani thanked Cr Serey for “formalising what was in many of our hearts”. “It’s an opportunity to unite us as a nation. “Any changes (to the date) are likely to divide us.” Mayor Sam Aziz said it would be a “cold day in hell” before Casey changed Australia Day.

He said the day, which he marked with a mayoral video address this year, was the “most important day of the year to me”. He said it celebrated Australia as the “greatest nation on Earth” that had given him and his family “opportunities we couldn’t have dreamed of”. It was a day celebrated with citizenship ceremonies and other events across Casey, in which joy was writ

on the faces of residents. “It’s a day to be absolutely celebrated.” “They, like us, want a different day, one not redolent with tragic symbolism associated with loss and sadness but a day where we can all celebrate our nation.” Darebin Council has also since voted to move its Australia Day events from 26 January.

Blokes’ hidden cancer More men die as a result of prostate cancer each year than women of breast cancer. That was one of the simple facts that hit those in attendance at Friday’s Cardinia-Casey Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch right between the eyes. The Cardinia Cultural Centre was packed full of blokes of all ages and cross-sections of the community, united by one cause - the fight against prostate cancer. The event, now in its fourth year, was once again an incredible success - raising about $100,000 for the cause, and sending the event’s total so far beyond $330,000 raised in four years. The 480-strong crowd not only heard the serious side from local footy legend and prostate cancer sufferer Joey Lenders, John Strachan from the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and Tony De Sousa from St John of God hospital, but was left in hysterics by the likes of comedians Des Dowling, ‘The Suburban Footballer’ Tom Siegert, and ‘The Nelson Twins’ - in addition to MC and auctioneer Dave Whalen. Garry Howe, the chairman of the organising committee behind the event, told the room how - since the 2016 lunch - he had lost a mate to cancer. It wouldn’t have been an uncommon story throughout the room. Local football legend Joey Lenders shared the story of his battle with prostate cancer over the past 12 months, interviewed by his former interleague colleague Brian Paynter. Although Friday’s event was primarily focused on the prostate cancer cause, the organisers also carved off $10,000 of last year’s profit to start up a men’s health grants program through the Casey Cardinia Foundation. That money would then go towards worthy local projects in the men’s health sphere.

Phil Anning, Joey Lenders and Dicky Young have a chat before the lunch, where Joey shared the story of his battle with prostate cancer. 172245 This year half went to the Bunyip Men’s Shed for dust extraction work to make their environment a little more comfortable, while the other $5000 went to the Victorian Council of the Ageing to create some ‘Older Men: New Ideas’ discussion groups in the local area. Mr Howe said the priority of the lunches would continue to be the quest to beat prostate cancer, but he urged those in the crowd to keep an eye out for worthwhile local men’s health projects as well, as the grants program was set to continue in 2018. For more on the lunch and Joey Lenders’ battle, pick up this week’s copy of the Pakenham-Berwick Gazette.

Narre Warren detectives are appealing for witnesses after a man aged in his thirties was attacked by an unknown assailant as he was walking on Keppel Drive, Hallam, at 6.45pm on Wednesday 9 August.

The men are described as 170cm tall, solid with dark short hair. One was wearing a black and white hoody and blue jeans and the other was wearing a black jacket.

THANKS to RMS Homes, the Sasa family are now living their dream. Moving into their new home on 7 June this year, Miriama and Paul Sasa, along with their four kids, have spent just over two months enjoying their single-storey, four-bedroom, double-garage home in Cranbourne West. Their home was built by Officer-based building company RMS Homes, which Miriama discovered through social media and immediately warmed to. “We prayed for the right direction and one day we were on Facebook and I saw (RMS Homes),” Miriama said. “As soon as I saw them I grabbed the number and called. The moment we met in Officer we knew by faith it was from God that we’d discovered them.” Dealing with the managing director Mat Suckling, Miriama stated that the easy process put forward by RMS homes along with their flexibility and willingness to work with the Sasas made their eight-month construction process a breeze. “We went through (some of the larger building companies) but they just had so many hurdles you had to go through and having four kids it was too much,” Miriama said. “Whereas dealing with RMS homes was simple and straightforward ... they were so professional. They were always following up with us; even after the first meeting they never left us hanging. I felt like I was already a part of the family.” RMS Homes was established in 2013 to help first home buyers, up-sellers, down-sellers, investors and multi-unit developers find an adequate solution to their housing needs. And as Miriama explained, with all her

PICTURE: ROB CAREW. housing requirements more than taken care of, her family is the envy of all their friends, and recommend them for anyone looking to build a new home. “Another great thing was that it was a full package - I didn’t have to worry about my letterbox, washing line, or our outdoor barbecue area because everything came in the package,” “Our mates who already have homes can’t believe the package. They keep saying that if they had known about RMS Homes they would have gone with them! “But because RMS Homes are family orientated they know what it’s like to have a family and have a family home,” Miriama said. “So if you’re looking for someone who is going to treat you like a family member, follow up even after moving, and congratulate you with gifts after you move in - then RMS Homes is the right choice because they don’t finish it off once they get their money; they continue their relationship.” ●

Parliament’s in at school By Brendan Rees Students of St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School experienced their own question time when three Victorian politicians, including the Federal Speaker, visited their school last Tuesday 29 August. Students embraced their guests - State Member for Gembrook Brad Battin, Federal Member for Casey and Speaker of the House Tony Smith and Federal Member for La Trobe Jason Wood. St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School principal Annette Rome said the politicians addressed students at an assembly where students shared a question and answer session to “explore the role of parliamentary democracy and particularly the Speaker of the House.” She said students gained a wealth of knowledge from the visit. “I think one of the keys ideas that came out of it was the importance and knowledge of our parliamentary system. Secondly, the capacity we have as citizens to impact on our nation’s future,” she said. Speaker of the House Mr Smith said: “I was pleased to meet with students of St Margaret’s at the invitation of my friend and colleague, local member Jason Wood MP. “It is always an honour to

engage with passionate and knowledgeable students about our parliament and our democracy. Not only are young school students future voters, they are the future custodians of our democracy and our nation,” he said. Member for La Trobe Jason Wood said his visit was a great opportunity to engage with students. “It serves as a great reminder of the brilliant future our local area has ahead of us, and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it.” Ms Rome said the visit was highly educational and members of parliament were impressed with the students’ questioning. “They thought the questions were really good, challenging and appropriate. And they gave some very considered answers as well. It was clear that the politicians have thought about what it was like to be a young Australian as well,” she said. “It's something that the school values very highly to ensure all the students have knowledge about not only our country, but what it means to be a good citizen as well. We are very lucky that we have a good relationship with our parliamentarians that they are so happy and willing to be involved with our school.”

Phillip Island offers an abundance of Australian wildlife, spectacular coastal scenery and exciting new experiences. Witness the natural spectacle of the world’s smallest penguins arriving home at sunset each evening at the world-famous Penguin Parade. Experience the nightly parade from the beachfront viewing stands as the penguins emerge from the waves and waddle across the sand. Be sure to spend some time on the boardwalks and watch the penguins up close as they make their way to their burrows. Choose from a great range of ticket options including general viewing from the beachfront stands and boardwalks, or the premium Penguins Plus or Underground Viewing experiences. Accredited rangers also conduct small group guided tours each evening. Download the free Penguin Parade app, available in English, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, German and Spanish, which includes a live penguin camera and free images to share. Immerse yourself in the ‘hands-on’ family fun and interactive experiences in the new Antarctic Journey, opened in conjunction with WWF-Australia. Feel the freeze in the Antarctic Chill Zone; compare your thermal image to an emperor penguin; visit the research station and sound lab; or check out the sustainable menu in the virtual café. The state-of-the-art multimedia experience puts visitors right in the heart of the action, surrounded by creatures of the deep like whales, sharks and more. Thanks to cutting edge ‘augmented reality’ technology, the interactive wildlife experience is bound to be a highlight of any visit, as visitors see themselves on a huge screen, standing on an ice floe, patting a penguin or stroking a seal. Come ‘face-to- face’ with wild koalas in their natural habitat from the treetop boardwalks at the Koala Conservation Centre. Learn about these amazing animals and the role the centre has played in protecting Phillip Island’s koalas and their habitat. Stroll along the woodland walking trails and see native animals including wallabies, echidnas and over 35 different species of birds. Journey back in time and explore the heritage and tranquil scenery at Churchill Island Heritage Farm, an historic working farm with Clydesdale

Students mull future careers Gold coin for special kids Michael Wasley with a Coles worker and Very Special Kids donation cards.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Students were given a chance to ponder their future careers at a recent expo at Berwick College. About 1000 college students met with university and TAFE stallholders as well as creative arts and fitness training providers such as JMC Academy, Ministry of Dance, SAE Qa-

ntm College, Collarts and VFA Learning. During the expo, students were able to map their line of studies into their chosen tertiary institution. College spokeswoman Carly Pearson said Berwick College’s careers program aimed to optimise pathway options for

students though the pathways could change over the years. “But for now, the college wants all our students to have the greatest choices available and ultimately, to be able to make a successful transition into further education, training and employment.”

For a $2 donation over the next two weeks, supermarket-shoppers can help provide respite and end-of-life care for children in need. Coles supermarkets in Casey will sell $2 donation cards to help the state’s children’s hospice Very Special Kids until 19 September.

The charity helps more than 900 families across Victoria each year. A sum of $10 will cover daily meals for a child at the hospice, $100 to give a brother or sister a fun day out at Bereaved Sibling Day. Very Special Kids chief executive Michael Wasley said many families relied on the charity for practical and emo-

tional support. “We are extremely thankful for the generous support from local residents to help us raise important funds.” Coles state general manager Michael McKenzie said: “Very Special Kids do an amazing job to help families and children facing very difficult circumstances.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

The best in the business The City of Casey, together with Cardinia Shire Council, announced the 36 Casey Cardinia Business Award finalists for 2017 at a Casey Cardinia business breakfast held on Wednesday 6 September, at Cranbourne Racing Centre. City of Casey mayor Sam Aziz said the quality of entrants was of a particularly high standard, which in turn made the judging process extremely difficult. “The standard of entrants was reflected in the very small margin in many of the 13 categories,” Cr Aziz said. “Entrants are encouraged to take on-board the judges notes to help grow their business and we encourage them to re-apply for the Casey Cardinia Business Awards in following years. “Each year we are proud to ac-

knowledge high-achieving local businesses which we can boast throughout the region.” Cardinia Shire mayor Brett Owen said he would like to congratulate each of the businesses which have been nominated as finalists. “Each year, the standard of award nominees continues to improve making it much harder for judges to narrow our entrants down,” he said. “All of the applications received this year were of a high standard and we look forward to watching your businesses continue to prosper.” The 2017 Casey Cardinia Business Award winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner to be held on Friday 27 October, at the Cranbourne Racing Centre.

'Mr Body Language' Allan Pease addresses businesses with a motivational speech. 171240 Pictures: GARY SISSONS

‘Pursue your passion!’ By Brendan Rees Motivational speaker and author Allan Pease told a crowded business breakfast that if people followed their passion the money “will follow”. The body language expert was guest speaker at the Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast Awards at the Cranbourne Turf Club on Wednesday 6 September. Mr Pease said greatness in life came when people followed their passion. “What is the one thing in your life that you love so much that you would get up early? Whatever it is if you can identify that thing - that is where greatness is in you. “It terms of whatever you want to do with your life I want you to stop thinking about how you want to do it. The how is buggering you up. That’s why you’re not moving forward. From today only think about what you want you want. What you’ll do, what you’ll become,

what you’ll achieve and then the how will appear,” Mr Pease said. The former Upper Beaconsfield resident said most people didn’t really know what they wanted in life. “You know 84 per cent of people hate what they are doing for a living. On Sunday nights they get a knot in their gut and they hate it. If you’re not waking up saying ‘I can’t wait to do this’ you’ve got to get out and quit. Stop wasting everyone’s time. “It might take you six months, 12 months or two years to decide what it is that you really want to do with your life that makes you wake up and excited,” he said. Promoting his new book ‘The Answer’ he said it had been the “latest and most exciting thing for me I’ve ever been involved in.” Discussing the brain’s ability to drive success, he said

the reticular formation was the command centre for a person’s brain and the most important to understand. “Every experience you have filters through there except for smells. “There’s a system in there called the reticular activating system. This is the most significant thing about your brain that you’ll probably ever learn about business.” He said all sporting stars and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey started as amateurs. Mr Pease said reading someone’s body language was reading a person’s emotional condition. “Most people have made up their mind about you within four minutes.” When you cross your arms people give 40 per cent less eye contact, they talk in shorter sentences and stand further back. “If people buy you, they buy what you bring with you.”

Teens perform debut high note By Brendan Rees A Berwick youth choir made up of 14 young girls are preparing to hit their biggest note. Daughters Of The King will perform their hit tracks from their debut album at the Berwick Anglican Church on 16 September. The choir will perform along with guest artists - cellist, Isaac Winter and flautist, Merrily Hansen. The choir’s musical director Leah Bosch said the girls were excited about the launch of their album. “A lot of them have not had this opportunity before, and for many of them it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They are very much excited to see the finished product. It’s been really good,” Ms Bosch said. Now in its 11th year, the ensemble evolved from a group of teenagers singing around an old piano in a lounge room. With some of the choristers only 10 years old, Ms Bosch said the girls had worked “ridiculously hard” to record their new album which included choral, jazz and classical music. “To learn 11 songs in six months and to a standard to put on a CD that people can play in their car is just a huge effort, so they’ve done really well,” she said. “We rehearse on Friday nights for

about two hours in Berwick, and we’ve managed to put it all together in six months. There has been a lot of work involved.” “They’ve heard some of the finished tracks, and they’re really pleased with their effort.” Ms Bosch said the album was a credit to the girls who had bonded in their love of singing, adding the girls worked tirelessly in fund-raising to record the album. “It’s been quite a journey and the group has evolved into the group that we are today. It’s really positive. The girls have great relationships with each other. It’s a real blessing to be a part of their lives and be able to influence and impact their lives in the way that I do.” She said two of the tracks were sung by alumni, adding they were an integral part of the group’s history and it was important they were represented. Ms Bosch said she had enjoyed being a role model who was the accompanist for the group before undertaking the role as music director for the past five and half years. “I was one of the original choristers when the group started up 11 years ago. It basically started out as a group of predominantly home schoolers. We decided we just wanted to get together and started as a singing group.” Ms Bosch said the group had grown in confidence.

Daughters Of The King choir will perform their hit tracks from their debut album at the Berwick Anglican Church on the 16 September. Picture: CONTRIBUTED “The girls have had to practise outside of rehearsal times. It’s a huge commitment for the parents as well to bring them to performances and rehearsals and support the endeavours of the group. It’s been a huge team effort.”

Ms Bosch said the girls were looking forward to their big show. “We’re busy selling tickets and advertising and getting flyers out. It’s all coming together which is good,” she said. The album launch concert will

Perry sticks to dream By Nick Creely Make no mistake about it - Perry Lewis-Smith will never give up on his AFL dream. The 18-year-old athletic beast is used to rejection, but rather than let that rejection become despair, has continually used it as a source of inspired motivation. After a strong 2016 TAC Cup season with the Sandringham Dragons and the best beep test results out of all the TAC Cup players (15.7), Perry narrowly missed out on being drafted. ‘The Machine’ - as he is nicknamed for obvious reasons, joined the Casey Demons this season in a bid to land in the AFL in 2018 through a strong state league season in the VFL. So impressive he was in the Development League as a niggling small defender with the capacity to rack up the footy, that coach Justin Plapp decided to bring the youngest player on the list into the seniors in Round 6 against the then undefeated Port Melbourne. He said he will never forget the experience of his VFL debut, and hopes it will hold him in good stead as he attempts to catch the recruiters’ attention. “The experience was great - they (Port Melbourne) hadn’t lost yet so it was always going to be a really good

game - I was thrown into the deep end a little bit, and I was a bit nervous, but as the game went on I got into it,” Perry said. “It was a lot quicker and the bodies are obviously a bit bigger, but getting involved amongst the AFL players was a great experience for me going forward.” He went on to play a further three matches, including a game against Richmond where he tagged mercurial forward Shai Bolton, holding him goalless in the process. There is plenty of inspiration at the Demons to look to for Perry, with Casey leader Jimmy Munro sharing a similar journey. After rejections from the Dandenong Stingrays, Eastern Ranges and Gippsland Power, Munro found a path with the Sandringham Dragons - similar to Perry - before becoming one of the stars of the competition with Casey this season. “Jimmy (Munro) is really good to watch, just the way he goes about it he’s a great player, maybe not the most skilled player you’ll see but bloody tough - I get along really well with him,” he said. “Some of the leaders - like Jack Hutchins and Jordan Moncrieff for example have also been great and

Perry Lewis-Smith in action for the Demons this season. helpful at times.” Despite possessing an elite set of playing skills, Perry prides himself on the most important aspects of all and something that has shaped him in his journey so far. He hopes it will make him stand out

among the rest. “I’m pretty mentally strong, and feel like I can take anything that comes my way - as the years go on, recruiters are starting to look at the VFL a lot more, and that works in my favour,” he said.

“I was a little bit unlucky, and things haven’t fallen my way really, but I’ll keep going - I haven’t doubted myself, my goal is to play AFL, and people knocking me back doesn’t stop me because you hear so many stories about blokes who get knocked back and then they make it. “I’ve been told that I should be drafted, but haven’t really had the chance to talk to anyone yet - it’s my dream to just get an opportunity, and I’d do anything to get that - in the end, I’m confident and hopefully it comes one day. “If it doesn’t happen this year (AFL draft), I’ll come back and just aim to play regular VFL senior footy considering there won’t be Development League next year.” Heading into his first grand final with the Casey Demons’ Development League, Perry is trying to keep a lid on the excitement and prepare the exact same way he always does. “I don’t get too nervous in games, and I try and treat it like normal games - I’ve played plenty of finals before so I’m pretty confident in my ability to back myself and play well,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to get the last Development League premiership and make a bit of history with the club.”

Sensaional Porter named in TAC Team of the Year By Nick Creely Officer sensation Callum Porter’s sensational season through the midfield with Gippsland Power has been recognised with selection in the TAC Cup’s prestigious Team of the Year. The 18-year-old star - who also finished sixth in the Morrish Medal with 12 votes - has been a revelation for the Power in its rise into the finals. At the TAC Cup Boys and Girls best-and-fairest evening at the Australian Events Centre in Essendon on Sunday night, Porter was named on the interchange bench among 21 other young superstars likely to be on AFL lists in the coming years. Porter averaged 22 disposals and almost eight tackles in the home-and-away season, and will be a vital cog of the Power’s push for a premiership in this coming finals series as he gears himself at a chance of being drafted in November. Dandenong Stingray trio Oscar Clavarino, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Hunter Clark were also rewarded for their outstanding individual seasons with selection in the team. In another great surprise for the Power, coach Leigh Brown was named TAC Cup Coach of the Year after guiding his side to a finals position. The former Collingwood, Fremantle and North Melbourne player is the first Gippsland Pow-

er coach in its 25-year history to claim the award. He has been lauded as one of the soundest strategists in the TAC Cup, and also for his ability to develop players ready to be drafted. Gippsland Power Talent Manager Peter Francis said Brown was a deserving winner, and one of the hardest working coaches in the business. “Leigh really does go above and beyond,” Francis said. “The work that he puts into his preparation is second to none. What these boys get each week in terms of individualised video reviews and feedback is exceptional. “He never stops thinking about how he can give each player on the list the best chance to be drafted, he is always coming into my office asking ‘what do you think about this?’ and throwing different ideas around. “It’s so pleasing to see him acknowledged for the work that he puts in and what he has achieved with this group this season.” In the TAC Cup Girls awards, Dandenong Stingrays trio Jordyn Allen, Bridie Kennedy and Georgia Gee were named in the Team of the Year, while Gippsland Power’s Darcy Guttridge and Tyla Hanks were also rewarded for standout seasons. Kennedy also claimed the league’s best-and-fairest award after a stellar year in the ruck for the ‘Rays.

Chance still for Demons By Nick Creely VICTORIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - QUALIFYING FINAL The Burbank breeze struck yet again on Saturday. It’s latest victim - a patchy Casey side who just couldn’t quite adjust to the swirly conditions despite having their moments. In what was a howling breeze, a rampant Williamstown on its home deck simply had all the answers and capitalised in attack. In what was an interesting move, ‘Gulls skipper Ben Jolley elected to kick against the wind in the first quarter - a decision that proved to be a masterstroke. Adam Marcon opened proceedings with a goal in the opening few minutes, before Tom Bugg finally got the Demons on the board later in the quarter with a major, but the visitors simply couldn’t take advantage. Despite kicking with a six or seven goal wind, the Demons trailed at the quarter time break by five-points - crucial in the end. The Seagulls midfield was brutal with their tackling pressure, and combined with Ben Cavarra’s craftiness around goal, Arryn Siposs’ ability to take a strong mark and the athleticism of Sam Dunell, the Demons simply couldn’t handle the heat. With the wind as their friend, the Seagulls simply played champagne football in the second quarter, hardly conceding possession of the ball to kick seven goals in the first 20 minutes of the term to open up a 50-point lead. Feeding off the taps of dominant VFL ruckman Nick Meese, the Demons simply had to respond in the midfield and start finding some drive through the middle.

The first signs of a turnaround started with the desperation of midfield ace Angus Brayshaw. Throwing himself into the fray, Brayshaw lifted his standards to begin the second half as the Demons looked to claw its way back from the dead. Jack Trengove, Corey Maynard and Billy Stretch then followed suit, and the ball started falling into their hands. Moments into the third term, Bailey Fritsch stepped up with class to kick his second of the match - and one of three for the term - as the Demons stunned the Burbank crowd and took back the lead with nine consecutive goals. Could Casey hold on with just a fivepoint lead early in the last quarter against a stiff seven goal breeze? The answer was no, with Gulls’ forwards Siposs (five goals), Dunell (four goals) and Meese (two goals) slamming on the final eight-goals of the match to hold onto their 45-point final margin. A clearly disappointed Justin Plapp was left lamenting a sporadic performance that was uncharacteristic of his side. “I thought it was a huge effort to get back into the game the way we did, but we couldn’t maintain it for long enough,” Plapp said. “There were parts, probably half a game that we were acceptable or pretty good, but about half where we were putrid.” The Demons will get the chance to bounce back this Saturday in a semi-final against Richmond in Port Melbourne after earning the double chance. “It’s disappointing but we’ll bounce back, prepare and go again,“ Plapp said. “I think these guys are pretty good so we should take a fair bit of confidence into next week.

Beacy through in a real thriller By Nick Creely SOUTH EAST WOMEN’S REVIEW - PRELIMINARY FINAL DIVISION 2 Extraordinary scenes greeted Shepley Oval on Sunday, with Beaconsfield’s Division 2 team advancing through to next week’s grand final with a pulsating one-point win over Mornington, 4.3(27) to 4.4(28). After conceding their highest score of the season against Mornington back in Round 9, the Eagles were desperate to not let the Doggies’ attacking brilliance take over again. But in a game of inches, no more than a goal separated both teams at every change, with every point crucial in the final result. Beaconsfield took a narrow quarter time lead after both sides kicked a goal apiece, and the Eagles held firm by just two-points after half time after both sides again managed to hit the scoreboard. The second half was strikingly similar to the first half, with the Eagles kicking 2.2 to 2.3 and somehow finding itself on the right side of the scoreline after narrowly leading all day. A two-goal haul by Charlotte Jagusch in such a low-scoring game proved vital for the Eagles, while a brilliant performance by Sarah Allingham and the everconsistent Samantha Johnson helped get the side over the line. It now sets up a massive grand final showdown with Endeavour Hills in Sunday’s clash at Casey Fields, beginning at noon. Beaconsfield has been unable to defeat Endeavour Hills in both their attempts throughout the home-and-away season. DIVISION 3 - PRELIMINARY FINAL Warragul’s season has come to an unfor-

The Yabbies were never seriously challenged by the Colts, who were simply outclassed in every facet, and unable to find an avenue to goal. Similar to their clash earlier in the season, in which the Yabbies also held the Colts scoreless for the entire game, a three-goal haul to Kylie Vigliarolo and another couple of majors to Keira Beswick saw them put the game away relatively early in the contest. Despite the loss, Taryn Orgill ended her sensational season on a bright note, Teagen Hume never stopped trying and Breanna Pratt tried to provide a presence up forward. Bass Coast and Tyabb will meet in Sunday’s grand final at Casey Fields, with the game starting at 10am.

FFV STATE LEAGUES REVIEW - ROUND 21 STATE LEAGUE 1 - SOUTH EAST The Casey Comets travelled down to Baxter Park to play Warragul United on Saturday afternoon, going down 1-0 in disappointing fashion. On their home deck, United were far too strong for the Comets, with Matthew Maselli scoring a goal - his third of the season. The Comets will finish their season with a home clash on Saturday afternoon against the Caulfield United Cobras. Caulfield sit third on the table, while the Comets are sitting in seventh position. STATE LEAGUE 2 - SOUTH EAST Berwick City continued on with its terrific team season, destroying Seaford United 0-7 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday. Off the back of a triple-goal spectacle from skipper Orlando Mejias, the City scored two opening half goals, before blitzing the second half with five goals - almost a goal every eight minutes. The City are seemingly out of the promotional race in fourth spot with just one round left to play, but boast the third best attack and second stingiest defence. Meanwhile, Doveton appear certain to be promoted next season after a 2-1 win over Mazenod United

Stingrays retain third place despite loss By Nick Creely The Dandenong Stingrays warmed up for this week’s finals with a scrappy eight-point loss to second placed Geelong Falcons on Sunday at Victoria Park. With a win, loss or draw not having any bearing on the Stingrays’ eventual third place finish, the home side took the opportunity to further have a look at its impressive list. Minus star midfielders Hunter Clark, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Mitch Cotter as well as ruckman Bailey Williams - who have earnt a well-deserved rest, the ‘Rays brought in young talent Lachlan Stenning for a debut and recalled young forward Jack McHale. With the Falcons looking to secure the minor premiership, they led at every change but couldn’t quite find enough scoring power to gain the percentage needed to displace Oakleigh Chargers at the top. Despite the loss, the Stingrays would take great confidence out of a four goal-to-one final term - almost running over the top - as well as the form of several key players. Co-skipper Oscar Clavarino played arguably his best game of the season in defence, taking countless intercept marks and providing some drive off the half-back line, talented utility Aiden Bonar con-

on Saturday. The home side were down 0-1 at half time, before goals to Shane Tagliaferro and skipper Scott Webster in the dying moments sealed the deal. The Doves now sit equal at the top with Eltham Redbacks after the win, with the two top sides to be promoted into State League 1 next season. Berwick City finishes the season with a home clash against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday afternoon, while Doveton plays Eltham in a battle for top spot. STATE LEAGUE 5 - SOUTH Pakenham United drew 2-2 with Lyndale United on Saturday afternoon, with United clawing its way into fifth position. Lyndale got the fast start with two first half goals, before United pair Keegan Bloomfield and Liri Mernica kicked second half goals to level up the scores. Drouin Dragons and Casey Panthers couldn’t be split at the final buzzer at Bellbird Park, with the two teams drawing level 0-0, while Old Mentonians and Chelsea FC also drew 0-0. The scores were a little different in the match between Sandown and White Star Dandenong, with the Lions winning 8-0, while Dandenong Warriors defeated Bunyip 6-0 and Rowville easily accounted for Somerville 5-0. There is just one round left to play, with Sandown and Rowville battling it out for top spot on the ladder.

Proud history of the bowlers is marked We know it’s officially spring when the football finals are upon us and lawn bowlers are back on the greens preparing themselves for an exciting new season ahead. The Narre Warren Bowls Club officially opened its greens on Saturday, at the same time celebrating the 30th anniversary of the club. Special guests included Labor MPs Luke Donnellan and Anthony Byrne, the club’s first president Bob Roff, and Lorna Wilson - the lady who wrote to Berwick Council in 1984 to begin the club’s history. Mr Roff rolled the first jack for the season and Mrs Wilson followed with the first bowl. They were followed by other former club presidents and officials who were in attendance. Current-day president Eric Sydenham explained the coming requisites for the club and long-serving member John Uren gave a short explanation of the club’s history. Mr Roff then shared memories of the days when the members built the greens and the clubhouse. After a quick lunch, members had a chance to get their form together with a few ends.

the ‘Rays looking to claim their maiden TAC Cup premiership. The game - which begins at 2.15pm at Victoria Park - is set to be a cracking match with potential number-one draft picks Luke Davies-Uniacke and Adam Cerra set to go head-to-head in the midfield.

Three-peat grand finals By David Nagel Berwick is one step away from becoming the first team since Narre Warren in 2013 to be hailed premiers and champions after a dour 17-point victory over Cranbourne in Saturday’s second semi-final at Pakenham. The 2015 champions progressed to their third-consecutive grand final after stealing a march on the Eagles in the second term. They kicked 4.3 to 0.2, opening up a 22-point lead at the main break in a game that was otherwise dominated by two very well-drilled defensive units. Cranbourne had the advantage of a two-to-three goal breeze, blowing from the Princes Highway end of the ground in the first term, but were stifled by a disciplined Berwick outfit. Cranbourne star Marc Holt opened proceedings with a miracle goal from the boundary, but the Wickers had settled better. Bryce

Rutherford took a strong mark, and goaled after eight minutes, before Jimmy Harrison capitalised on the great run and carry of Will Arthurson to put the Wickers ahead at the 17-minute mark. A Brandon Wapshott long bomb at the 25-minute mark gave the Eagles a three-point lead at the first break but, considering the wind factor, Berwick clearly had the edge at quarter time. “Relentless domination, harder for longer, that’s what we’re about today,” Berwick coach Stewart Kemperman told his side. And his tribe listened, kicking four goals in the second term to take a stranglehold on the match. An early set shot from Harry Money was followed by a long bomb from Ash Smith, before goals to skipper Madi Andrews, and another to Money -on the half-time siren- gave the Wickers the advantage they were looking for.

That wind-assisted second term proved the difference in the end, with the Wickers maintaining their advantage at three-quarter time before weathering a brave Eagles fightback in the final term. Kemperman was full of praise for his leaders, particularly Andrews who was best on ground - adding to an already glowing reputation. “He’s a great player Madi, one of the greatest this club has ever seen, he was terrific and along with Ash Smith, Micky Harold, Riley Heddles, Luke Sheppard, they were all able to show composure when it was needed most,” Kemperman said. “And I thought Jimmy Magner was terrific as well, around those stoppages, particularly late, he was enormous. We just had to contain it and go from stoppage to stoppage and not allow Cranbourne to gain momentum.” Cranbourne will take on Narre Warren in a blockbuster prelimi-

nary final at Pakenham this Saturday after the Magpies returned to their winning ways with a 53-point thumping of Beaconsfield in Sunday’s first semi-final at Berwick. Coach Heath Black swung the axe at the selection table and his Magpies responded, with a 7.2-to1.0 opening term putting the issue to bed early. The Eagles matched motors with the Magpies in the second and third quarters, but that 38-point deficit at the first break had cracked the game open, and well before anyone expected. Michael Collins was inspirational for the Magpies through the midfield, while five goals to Aaron Wilson and fine displays from ruckman Trent Papworth and defenders Jordyn Flannery and Joel Zietsman played key parts in the victory. Troy McDermott was dangerous for Beaconsfield, kicking four goals to end with 54 for the season.

Seagulls power their way to grand final By David Nagel There is still one giant step to go but the startling transformation of Tooradin-Dalmore is almost complete after the Seagulls surged into this year’s grand final with a stunning 43-28 victory over Narre Warren on Saturday. The Seagulls produced a physical brand of netball, overwhelming the back-to-back reigning champs in the first quarter, scoring 13-3 to set up a comfortable second semi-final win at Toomuc Reserve. The Magpies had no answers during the first-quarter onslaught, and will need to regroup in a hurry ahead of this Saturday’s preliminary final against Cranbourne - who downed Beaconsfield 33-31 in Sunday’s first semi-final at Berwick. But the Seagulls are the big story here, securing their first grand final appearance since knocking off Pakenham in the 2006 decider. The Seagulls were the complete team in the first quarter, with Sara Duncan (centre), Emma Iacovou (wing attack) and Ebony Dolan (wing defence) controlling the midcourt, and Alex Duff (goal shooter) feeding Jess Cox (goal attack) who starred under the ring with nine goals for the term. But it was the efforts of star defenders Jess Maher (goal keeper) and Bec Kinna (goal defence) that stood head and shoulders above the rest. They kept the potent Magpies goalers to just three goals for the first quarter, with Gabby Dwyer (GS) and Tayla Shannon (GA) unable to break free. But, as great teams do, the Magpies bounced back in the second term, scoring 13 goals to 10 to cut the margin back to seven at halftime. The Magpies midcourt gained a level of ascendency, with Britt Mashado (C), Leigh Taylor (WA) and Erin Clark (WD) showing tremendous desperation to work their team back into the contest. The Magpies looked right in this one at the half time, but the Seagulls were never going to lie down, and a 12-5 third quarter gave them a 14goal lead at the final break and certain victory. As mentioned earlier, the Magpies will need to regroup now, because waiting for them this Saturday is a Cranbourne outfit on a high after its

amazing victory over Beaconsfield. This one was a Fathers’ Day classic, tight and tough from the first minute to the last, with neither side contemplating that this would be their final game for the season. Both coaches made minimal changes throughout the course of the afternoon, Cranbourne’s Donna Wilson changing Darcy O’Donnell (WD) for Hailey Galpin at halftime, with Beacy leader Simon O’Shanassy bringing Tanya Mijovic

(GA) into the game in the third quarter at the expense of Emily Boribon. Scores were locked at 11 at quarter time before Beacy edged ahead with an eight goal-to-seven second term. And with Rylee Nelson (C), Ash Gill (WA) and Kate Murphy (WD) providing a stack of drive through the midcourt, Beacy extended its advantage with a dour 6-3 third quarter. Cranbourne was four goals adrift - and needed someone to step up as the hero.

And they found one in Alanah Hardy, who swapped the GA for GS bib in the last quarter to shoot 10 of her side’s 12 goals, overcoming that four-goal deficit to win a cracking contest by two. But Alanah couldn’t do it all herself, she received wonderful supply from the likes of Steph Ryan (C), Nat Sparks (WA) and Tegan Stahl (GA), while Sharni Lambden (GD) and Tara Cecil (GK) worked magnificently as a team in defence.
