Homeless hell By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey's growing tide of homelessness has swelled well over 1000, according to the latest statistics. There were about 1280 homeless in the municipality in the 2016 official Census period up by 33 per cent from 2011 figures. It soared by double the rate of Casey's population, while at the same time Victoria's homelessness rate remained steady. "That is incredible," says Keith Vethaak, who runs Transit Soup Kitchen in Narre Warren. If anything, the number would probably have grown since then, he says. Each week, his kitchen provides groceries and hot meals to about 1400 people, including the homeless and an underclass just hanging on to their homes. Ray Roberts, 57, dines at Transit. He and his hyper young dog Abby sleep on a single bed with blankets and an unzipped sleeping bag inside a van. They move between car parks in Dandenong, Narre Warren and Pakenham, meeting other long-term car dwellers in the South-East. "I regard myself as lucky, not even as homeless. "I'm lucky because I wouldn't want to sleep rough." He did that once in a Dandenong park about 20 years ago. He says he'd never do it again. Yet by the figures, there must be many who do sleep rough in Casey. Mr Roberts had boarded with a Doveton landlord. Overnight, he lost his shelter when the landlord died suddenly in bed. He'd lost work as a fruit-and-veg courier and couldn't afford the $400 weekly askingprice for a simple rental dwelling. "You don't take any notice (of the housing market). "I appreciate that I'll be driving around this country (in a mobile home) until I drop." He and Abby have been dependent on charities, while he trains in traffic worksite management.

The kitchen has recently introduced a meal-time for families with schoolaged children. "It all boils down to a shortage of affordable housing." Mr Vethaak says more elderly people are

under housing stress, such as newly-widowed people whose household income halves with the loss of their partner. "We've got a few old people who we are trying to pair with someone else." During a sit-down dinner on 19 March, about seven new faces joined scores of others

… BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE The editor’s desk Home is a person’s bedrock. Yet a decade after homelessness was raised by then-PM Kevin Rudd, the issue remains an “obscenity”. Many arrive in the Casey growth corridor, but ever more numbers are not finding a place to call home. Without steady shelter, a person and a family’s ability to lead fulfilled lives is seriously hampered. But like a canary in the mineshaft, it points to more people teetering on the edge of homelessness. More people living in instability can only lead to a deepening of social problems. Stable accommodation is a key factor that courts look for when assessing an offender’s prospects. Without that, their life of crime and disconnect from the mainstream has less chance of correction. Homelessness can flow from a mix of bad luck and personal circumstances - good people lose jobs, lose a partner, need to flee family violence. There is a working underclass also that hasn’t suffered a dramatic swing in fortune, yet struggle to afford a home. We all know about rising house prices, the dwindling supplies of affordable housing stock are much described. Public housing stocks have not kept pace, emergency accommodation is stretched and boarding houses have a vexed reputation. The issue seems vast and complex. But remember, homeless people don’t deserve to be shunned. As pastor Keith Vethaak, who feeds and hundreds in hardship, it’s not necessarily their fault. - Cam Lucadou-Wells

Homeless crisis deepens

Child centre calls for slowdown By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Emma Robinson with staff and parents and kids from Little Joey’s Early Learning Centre. 178896 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Neighbours Tracey and John Wade moved to the area for a "tree change". They recently - and fruitlessly - wrote to VicRoads about the dangers posed by drivers that "fly down this stretch of road". "We have no service road entry to our property and I have had enough of being tail-gated, abused, tooted at and (blinding) lights flashed at me for turning into my own driveway," Ms Wade says. Wildlife crossing the road, such as deer, kangaroos and wombats, pose a further risk to motorists, she said. In the five years up to 30 June, there was

Crime in Casey continues to fall By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey’s crime rate has fallen for the second consecutive official report, reversing a six-year upward trend. Police Minister Lisa Neville said Victorians could share a “small level of reassurance” with a 9.9 per cent statewide drop recorded in the latest Crime Statistics Agency report on 15 March. She stressed there were still too many victims of serious “high-harm” crime suffering trauma and pain. In Casey, there were significantly less burglaries (34 per cent down), aggravated burglaries (38 per cent), thefts (18 per cent) and robberies (7 per cent) during 2017. Family violence serious assaults fell by 20.5 per cent - their lowest level since 2009. There was a slight per-capita rise in assaults (0.7 per cent) Overall the crime rate in Casey fell by 13.6

per cent on a per capita basis - greater than the record-breaking statewide drop. But the raw numbers in the region are still alarming. There were 1834 reported burglaries and break-ins, more than 6900 thefts and 2315 assaults for the year in Casey. That’s about five burgs, 19 thefts and six assaults a day. Robberies totalled 162 - more than three a week. Cranbourne MP Jude Perera said the statistics were “encouraging” with “still more work to be done”. Over the next year, the government plans to roll out 835 extra police, new equipment, a new police intelligence system, more forensic resources and tougher sentencing and bail laws for young offenders. “Our local police members in Casey are working hard to target issues including burglaries and theft, which we can see reflected in these latest statistics.

“The Labor Government is giving police the resources they need to detect and disrupt crime.” Crime increased every year under the previous Liberal government, Mr Perera said. “We are now seeing this trend turn around.” Opposition police spokesman Edward O’Donohue pointed to an overall larger crime rate since Premier Daniel Andrews took office in late 2014. In that time, home invasions in Casey rose by 125.6 per cent. Casey’s crime rate generally was up by 20.6 per cent, Mr O’Donohue noted. “Under Daniel Andrews, the crimes that keep Victorians awake at night have increased alarmingly, particularly in growth areas such as Casey.” He reiterated the Coalition’s pledge to build a 24/7 police station at the growth suburb of Clyde - where crime had gone up by 105.6 per cent since 2014.

From page 1. He gets on a microphone and welcomes the diners. “It’s not your fault,” he assures them. “Our society is messed up.” Transit diner Rob, 45, volunteers at the kitchen about three days a week. “No one there judges you. You feel like a proper person for a while.” While awaiting a WorkCover claim, he has slept in his car for the past 18 months. His make-shift home is now broken down, and rests in a Narre Warren car park. It has been broken into several times - with one attempt at stealing the pushbike in his car. “Who would steal off someone who lives in their car? It’s like stealing candy from a baby.” Rob receives $500 fortnightly Centrelink benefits without rent assistance. The payments would barely cover the cost of a sharehouse. He is meanwhile paying off two personal loans to help out his adult kids. He is grateful to the care and understanding of Narre Warren police and Centrelink staff. Police check on his welfare, offer help and don’t hassle him to move on. Philosophically he says he has to bide the “process”. “You try to think it doesn’t bother you but it does. You just try to keep positive. “Whatever the difficulties I’m going through, there’s someone else worse.” Another diner is Lisa, a disability support pensioner herself, who shelters four homeless people as well as six dogs and cats in her home. She hopes to save up for an acreage in Gippsland and offer it as a homeless refuge. “As a Christian, I just pray to ask God to bring the people you want to me. “You have to have an open heart.”

Worried residents and staff at an early learning centre have called on VicRoads to avert a looming catastrophe on a 100km/h section of Wellington Road, Narre Warren East. "Nearly every day someone says an accident is waiting to happen," Little Joeys Learning Centre director Emma Robinson says. "When you're carrying precious cargo (children), you don't want to be taking chances." Two years ago, the centre and its 100-plus parents unsuccessfully petitioned for VicRoads to reduce the speed limit and install a right-hand turning lane into their centre. Parents and staff turning right off Wellington Road to access the centre are scared of being rammed from behind by eastbound traffic, Ms Robinson says. Drivers approach from behind on a rising bend and are blind to the stationary, turning cars. "I need to turn my indicator on around 200 metres before the Dorning Road turn-off," Ms Robinson said. "It is awful waiting for an opening knowing cars are approaching 100km/h on a single road behind me. I have my two daughters with me also." Ms Robinson argues that speeds should be reduced to 80 km/h - just like adjoining sections near Clematis to the east and a T-intersection at Berwick Road to the west. "I would also like to know how many fines people have 200 metres from this junction as there is a police officer with a camera there at times."

one recorded casualty on the 100km/h section - about 90 metres west of the Monash Road intersection. However across a wider section between Berwick Road and Clematis, there have been one fatality and four serious injuries since July 2014. Earlier this year, two cars collided in the road's 80km/h zone to the west, Ms Wade says. Eastern Victoria MP Edward O'Donohue asked in Parliament last month for Roads Minister Luke Donnellan to investigate the road's speed limit. "The needs of residents have to be heard and understood," Mr O'Donohue said. Monbulk Liberal candidate John Schurink said the road should be appropriately speedlimited in the "largely residential" area. As a former paramedic, he'd attended plenty of speed-related crashes on Wellington Road. "It beggars belief that this area remains 100km/h." VicRoads movement and safety regional manager Sasha Yarwood said the 100 km/h speed limit was assessed as consistent with other similar roads across the state. The factors for speed limit reduction include the number and types of vehicles, the number of access points, the road's environment, nearby speed zones and safety record. "We welcome all community input and we're happy to meet with residents and the early learning centre to discuss their concerns and explore any potential safety improvements."

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Dianne Markham, Narre Warren SES volunteer.

Plan the school lunches. Ensuring your kids have healthy, filling lunches at school contributes to their well-being in a variety of ways. Not only will they be healthier, your kids will have improved concentration and stamina, and will generally be more comfortable both in the classroom and out.

Talk to your kids. With all the sorting and running around, it's easy to forget who's actually going to school and that they might be feeling some anxiety about it. Ask your kids how they're feeling about the new-year, what they're looking forward to (or not so much), and talk them through any worries they might have.

Clean and tidy the kids' rooms. In no way are we suggesting this is your job. Rather, encourage your kids to clean and tidy their rooms at least a week before going back to school. This should include creating a space to keep textbooks and sports gear and an appropriate environment to do homework, setting your kids up for an organised start to the year. Source: Lumo Energy

What is something people don't know about you? I got my own Honda Shadow motor bike and license when our children began to grow. We had always holidayed on our Honda Gold Wing 1500cc which had a double side car, where the children would sit and I as a pillion on the back of the bike. Plus we towed a Cub trailer. As they grew they wanted to change places with me. What was your most memorable moment? Becoming a grandparent 3. What's the best thing about being involved at Narre Warren SES? The gift of being able to help the community in so many ways with a great bunch of trained volunteers. What is your favorite book? Our children's photo album What got you to join up to the SES? I had been looking at numerous ways to volunteer over two years but nothing jumped out at me. You can't just Google "volunteers", it takes a lot of looking and then l found an information-night advertisement in the local paper for my local SES Narre Warren unit and went along. Three years later I'm still there. At school I......was involved in lots of sports If I was PM for a day I ....would make TV stations put regular little flash-card type awareness ads on the road rules. Many people drive but l don't think they know the rules. Little regular awareness prompts would teach people and make our roads safer. Also we would have less road rage due to people being less frustrated with others. Which 6 dinner guests dead or alive , would you invite to dinner? Clark Gable , Pink, Dean Martin, Sandra Bullock, Red Skelton, Lily Tomlin What is your favorite holiday spot ? Whereever my husband is. Best concert you have been to? Phantom of the Opera.

Carol Punteri in front of the sickly avenue of gum trees. 178781 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS "They should not have been planted here in the first place." Every day, Ms Painter washes the sticky secretion from her dogs' paws. Her complaints about the leaves clogging drains, killing grass nature-strips and creating a mess received no response from Casey, she says. However, without warning, the extensivelydiseased gum tree in front of Ms Painter's place was removed by the council 12 months ago. Casey city presentation manager David Richardson said recent dry weather - with the insect infestation - exacerbated the "normal seasonal shedding" of native tree foliage. "These infestations generally occur every four-five years and are dependent on a number of factors including climatic conditions." Mr Richardson said the council was treating and monitoring the trees - and performing "remedial maintenance as required".

Casey Council has no plans to remove scores of unpopular sickly gum trees that are shedding piles of leaves in hapless residents' gutters and lawns in a Berwick estate. The white-trunked trees, which line residential streets surrounding Parkhill Plaza, have been under back-to-back insect attack over the past 12 months. The insects have caused an abnormal dumping of leaves and appeared to have left white sticky spots on cars and other surfaces below. Resident Vic Beech in Wintersun Road has collected three bins full of shedded leaves from his lawn. He suspects the culprit insects are white lace lerp. Concerned by falling branches, he and his neighbours want the trees gone. "Our concern is what is the council going to do about it?" Carol Punteri believes the culprit insect is a white-lace lerp that sucks the sap - and life out of the trees. "It doesn't affect any of the other trees. It's just this species. "They're all on our nature strips creating a risk ... "After driving around the Parkhill area, you can see the disease is rampant." Karen Painter, in Silkwood Avenue, says residents have pressed for the trees' removal for years, blaming their roots for uplifting driveways and footpaths and blocking drains. "The answer's simple - just pull the trees out.

Beating Sydney On a recent trip to the World Superbikes in Phillip Island our group had the good fortune of stopping at Cranbourne for breakfast. The food at The Atrium is sensational. This little restaurant is a gem. Who could imagine having a Michelin chef preparing the breakfast for us? I hope your readers appreciate his talents as much as we did. So much so we planned our trip home around breakfast and returned to The Atrium for a second time. I wish we had this in Sydney. Paul Doran, via email.

Eugene Cassar: About time Lucinda Tolmie: It isn't just this school. I think it is all school especially Narre Warren South P-12 College. They park in the side streets as well and up on the nature strips. This morning we were walking to school and the car instead of waiting in the traffic went up onto the nature strip to drop her child off. Right near the roundabout with lots of children around. More needs to be done. No standing signs mean nothing to some drivers. It means they park on the nature strip instead of the road. Aiden Coward: Stop building schools with no frigging parking. Hayley Anne Watts: Hahaha we were going to get the house on this street Jamie Sibbald: Need to take a trip to Lang Lang primary school can barely get out of my street every day and kids run out from blind spots everywhere one day a child will get hurt Tania Millar: Out the front of Fleetwood Primary is just as bad most days. Debra Kennedy: I live near a school and parents r crazy a child has been hit but nothing changed ; more people could walk too that would help Jmh Margarita Head: I cannot understand how they built the new Wilandra Rise PS, Clyde North YMCA and Selandra Kinder all in same site, with ONE road in and out! Why is there no road on the south side of school to feed traffic onto Heather grove? Cars now parking on both sides of Black-

ledge Dr, creating one way traffic only and blind corner at Haflinger Avenue intersection. Angela Davies: It's most schools in Casey Kay Bbk: I'm sure it's all schools with the same problem. Is there are so many children and not enough car parks. For pick up and drop off. Barbara J Burley: Common sense would have been whoever planned the location of these schools would have allowed for wider roads instead it's about the mighty dollar Naomi Mactaggart: This is every school in the south east cos there is no parking it's a joke Lisa Ambrose: Mossgiel Park Primary in Endeavour Hills. Parents at that school should hand their licences in. The parents who park in Gleneagles Drive are fantastic, but honestly... the parents who park in Scotsburn Way are an abomination. We have contacted local council, the school itself and local police. Nothing has changed. The most disrespectful, rude people I have encountered in the suburb. Mossgiel Park Primary has never taken any action that has influenced the behaviour of parents picking up students. Parents completely disregard common courtesy. Their children leave rubbish on lawns, run in front of traffic. Parents park in the bus stop of an already congested street. Parents ignore signage, and when confronted become abusive. Completely unfair to people who reside in the street. Karlie Gray: Cranbourne West is even worse-a whole section of Duff St and Monahans Rd becomes a parking lot and not to mention all the parents that decide to use and block up the service lanes (and driveways!!) close by to the school-instead of using the public parking across the road at the Coles carpark.

Thumbs down To the parking at Cranbourne station. There will be a head on down the private road with all of the people parking along the narrow road.

Thumbs down To the traffic congestion in all areas of Casey at peak hour is a disgrace.

Thumbs up: To all the CFA volleys that have given up their time, to join strike teams, to be sent far and wide in these terrible conditions. Also, the ones that stayed home to protect the locals.

Thumbs down To the amount of people that catch the buses and Don't have myki's. I counted nine people (all ages) on one journey from cranbourne park shopping centre to Casey central. Bus driver didn't say a word.

Young mum makes rehabilitation plea By Cam Lucadou-Wells A 21-year-old Casey mother and drug user who pleaded guilty to her 21st stolen-car charge says she wants to be “clean” to reunite with her young son, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court has heard. However, the hearing on 19 March highlighted the shortage of available residential rehab services. When the woman requested rehab, magistrate Jack Vandersteen retorted: “We will order it and it will not happen. “The reality is it is not there. “It requires your client to attend and depends on the availability of a centre - and unfortunately that’s not something I’ve seen occur.” When asked about the potential wait, a Corrections Victoria official told the court: “How long’s a piece of string? “Prior behaviour is a predictor of future behaviour. “If she is struggling to come to assessments in the past, it’s going to hold her further back.” The woman’s lawyer proferred: “We can only live in hope.” “More than hope,” Mr Vandersteen replied. “Your client has to turn up.” The woman, who was on her second community corrections order at the time, was charged over being a passenger in a stolen car on 4 July. The same car had been involved in a lengthy abandoned police pursuit that day, though it was not alleged she was part of the

pursuit, prosecutor Senior Constable Aimee Ryland told the court. She, the driver and another passenger were arrested at a Centro shopping centre in Croydon that day. The woman told Cranbourne police she had got into the car after phoning a male for a lift from Sandown to Croydon for a body piercing. She had been found with 20 mL of GHB in her purse that she claimed to have bought at Sandown for $30 that day. She told police she’d used ‘G’ that day, as well as smoked ice at her cousin’s friend’s place in Cockatoo. The woman was also charged with failing to answer bail and to report to police as part of her bail conditions. When confronted with her criminal history, she told the court that she had always been charged with car-stealing for simply being a passenger in stolen cars. A defence lawyer told the court that the

woman had been in the grip of long-term drug use and would not “go well” in prison. “The court will be well aware that ice addiction and drug matters are somewhat a work in progress. “She indicated to me today that she wanted to go to rehab and she accepts that’s what she’s going to have to do. “She is only a kid herself.” In an attempt to reunite with her son, she’d moved away from previous “friends” and been clean for up to three weeks, the lawyer said. “The father of the child is currently in prison and been subject to rehab for his drug habit. “She’s realised when he is released, if he’s clean, it’s extremely likely that DHHS will place the child with him. “She wants to avoid that ... she’s of the view he’s a total loser.” The woman told the court she needed to clean up or her son was “not going to have a mum or a dad.” The magistrate Mr Vandersteen noted the woman’s vulnerability in prison. The woman was offered a better though “not perfect” home with a relative in Dandenong. He noted that the woman had failed to attend supervisions, mental health and drug treatment sessions as part of the CCO. The woman was placed on a fresh 12-month CCO with supervision, judicial monitoring, drug testing and mental health treatment. She was disqualified from driving for six months. “This is as close as you get to ‘last throw of the dice’,” Mr Vandersteen said.

Man bashed in the street By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man coward-punched a “bully” who told him to pick up his cigarette butt at a Berwick pedestrian crossing, a court heard. Peter Carnevale refused to pick up his litter after the request from another pedestrian at the corner of High Street and Gloucester Avenue on 4 December, police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Cameron Smithett told the court. After the exchange, the victim crossed the road and heard Carnevale mutter something behind him. The man was then punched to the cheek from behind, causing his tray of three coffees to spill on the ground. Carnevale then hurled one of the coffee cups at the victim. The accused told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 19 March that he’d been upset at the time by the recent death of his dog. He admitted to punching the victim. “Apparently this bully approached me and asked me disrespectfully to ‘pick it up’. “I said: ‘Why are you telling me to pick it up?’” Carnevale told the court that it had been 16 years since his last violent offence. That’s “not bad”, he said. He submitted for a sentence of a fine or a donation, like his previous sentence. Magistrate Julie O’Donnell told Carnevale that unlawful assault carried a maximum of three months’ jail. “You can’t just assault random people on the street like this.” When the judge raised concerns about Carnevale’s risk of reoffending, he replied that he had martial arts experience. “You’ve assaulted someone here, not the other way around,” Ms O’Donnell said. Carnevale was convicted and fined $1000.

Home-ban man hides under bed By Cam Lucadou-Wells A serial family-violence offender has been jailed after police found him hiding in his Narre Warren South ex-partner's spare bedroom. The Dandenong North 45-year-old man, who was on a judicially-monitored CCO at the time, was arrested at the house on 17 March. He fronted Dandenong Magistrates' Court two days later. The court heard that the man was hiding under a bed and knew he was in breach of a full family-violence intervention order by being at the house. A month earlier, he had been released on a CCO after a 57-day stint in jail. Defence lawyer Arend Slink said the man had been working on his broken-down car at a friend's place. The ex-partner drove by, and he accepted her invitation for a ride to her place to clean himself up. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen did not accept a submission that the victim's actions had

contributed to the breach. Such "victim blaming" undermined the basis for intervention orders, he said. "That's not the way things should be put before the court. "The victim will not be blamed or held responsible for someone who breaches the conditions of the family violence intervention order. "If it was so innocent, why was he hiding under the bed?" Since 2015, the man had been guilty of five intervention-order breaches, criminal dammage and assault against the same victim - as well as contravening a CCO. "He's aware of the obligations as part of the order ... if he doesn't (comply) there will be a consequence," Mr Vandersteen said. "The risk to her while you breach these orders is high." The man was jailed for three months followed by a 15-month CCO with mental health treatment and rehab.

CFA responds Narre Warren mum By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Hampton Park CFA's performance has been defended by the CFA after the brigade met its response time target just 37 per cent of the time. Acording to the October-December 2017 figures, the brigade attended 14 of 38 emergencies in its area within the eight-minute benchmark. However, the overall response - including by brigades in other areas - to Hampton Park emergencies were 71 per cent. A CFA spokesman said Hampton Park's results were "trending upwards". The compliance rate went up from 77.5 per

cent in 2014-15 to 84 per cent in 2016-17, he said. "Hampton Park is located in one of Melbourne's fastest growing corridors, however the compliance rates are trending up and show that the brigade is adapting to meet the challenges which accompany such growth" The spokesman said the data was being used to improve performance and to allocate resources. He said the brigade was supported by neighbouring stations, including a $2.58 million station opened in Carrum Downs on 18 March. "It will be an important asset to assist in the service delivery throughout the region."

strikes it rich By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Narre Warren woman plans to unshackle herself from the home mortgage after becoming an instant TattsLotto millionaire. The mother, who wishes to be anonymous, said she bought her winning ticket for the Monday 12 March draw on a whim. She was the only division-one winner in the draw, claiming a guaranteed $1 million prize.

"My family were pretty stoked when I told them but we haven't done anything to celebrate yet - we're waiting for it to sink in first." Her plans were to pay off the mortgage, then perhaps extend the family's alreadybooked holiday to the US. The holder of the winning ticket, bought from Palm Plaza Lotto at Dandenong Plaza, had been a mystery for three days before she claimed the prize.

The council is set to investigate whether it will start to accept payments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Councillor Sam Aziz said many “corporate players” had joined that particular “game”.

Hairhouse Warehouse at Cranbourne Park hosted a World’s Greatest Shave fundraising day where people had their hair shaved or coloured on Saturday, 17 March. All money raised will help fund research for the Leukaemia Foundation’s so more people survive blood cancers like lymphoma, leukaemia and myeloma. One customer Amanda Smith who had long blonde plaits shaved her head to raise $1000. Two sisters aged six years old raised more than $500 by cutting their plaits while others raised $300. The store has hosted the event for the past 10 years - a cause staff hold dearly to their hearts. People of all ages either shaved or coloured their hair, cut pony tails, and shaved their beards. Owner Sophie Margaritis said the event once again showcased the outstanding community spirit with a generosity in helping others. “We thank the beautiful people who supported the great cause.

Eggs thrown at home A Cranbourne woman has told her disgust after her home was allegedly egged by thugs on Thursday, 15th of March. Beth Roberts, who lives opposite J and P Camms Reserve said it was quite a “scary feeling” when she thought someone had initially smashed her windows at about 11.30pm. “Someone drove passed my house and splattered my front windows with eggs. They then came back five minutes later and screamed ‘How do you like those eggs?’ “ she posted on Casey Crime Page. “Unfortunately they had vanished so fast, we couldn’t get any information on what type of car they were driving or what the people looked like but I have contacted the police and they have put a report in.” “I don’t know if this was a targeted act or just something random,” she said. She said no damaged was caused to her home but added “The sound of the eggs hitting the window even woke my neighbour.” Cranbourne police are investigating.

An announced $711 million Monash Freeway upgrade has been welcomed - though further road and rail upgrades are also urgently required, says Casey Council. The project would expand the Monash from eight to 10 lanes between Warrigal Road and EastLink, and from four to six lanes between Clyde Road and Cardinia Road. Works would also include better connections at Beaconsfield and links to a new, duplicated O'Shea Road. The upgrade would save nine minutes off a peak hour trip between Pakenham and the city. Casey mayor Geoff Ablett was pleased that the Government supported the council's calls to prioritise the upgrade to respond to "rapid population growth" and a "desperate need for better road infrastructure". The council has also reiterated its 'Commit to Casey' message for $1.2 billion for arterial road upgrades, as well as a long-awaited $1.5 billion extension of rail to Clyde. "Casey's roads are used by more cars than was ever intended, while investment in public transport has been slashed - making Casey one of Victoria's most poorly transport-serviced municipalities," Cr Ablett said. "Casey's transport congestion is still far from being fixed, and we would encourage the State Government and Opposition to further invest in our arterial roads and extend Cranbourne rail." The council also re-iterated its calls for the Government to clean-up graffiti blighting the freeway. Cr Sam Aziz said VicRoads hadn't delivered on its 2015-16 promise as well as adding vegetation and surveillance cameras to deter vandals. A $111 million saving from stage one works will fund smart on-road technology that will give drivers live traffic information and manage lanes. The full business case for stage-two has been submitted to Infrastructure Australia for the Federal Government's final approval. Construction is expected to start next year, following a tender process, and the new lanes would open in 2022. Stage one is to be completed later this year. Premier Daniel Andrews and Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said the second stage would create 600 jobs during construction. They said the business case would be made public as soon as the Federal Government approves it. "Adding more lanes where they're needed most will slash congestion and deliver faster, more reliable journeys from Chadstone right through to Pakenham," Mr Donnellan said. Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley said the project addressed the freeway's "nightmare" gridlock. The State Government says stage-two has been brought forward earlier than expected, though Federal MPs accuse it of "dragging the chain".

Ben is class clown By Casey Neill A Dandenong teacher-turned-comedian is on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival bill. Ben Tiff started stand-up just over four years ago. "That was just before my 40th birthday," he said. "It's just a passion that I've always had. I really dragged myself out of my comfort zone. The first time I did it I pretty much felt sick in the stomach. The second time I did it, it wasn't much better. For some silly reason I persisted." In his first full-length show, Tiff Upper Lip, Mr Tiff will cover his speed dating business succumbing to Tinder and uncovering an awkward family secret at a dinner party. "I still get nervous, but it does wonders for your confidence," he said. Mr Tiff is the head of English at the Narre Warren South Prep to 12 College. "Being in front of a captive audience every day such as a classroom really does help," he said. "My comedy has helped my teaching as well." He said he'd always been more of a writer than a class clown. "People who are funny socially don't make great comedians," he said. "I'm not very spontaneous. "I really like to write and craft my work until I get it just right. "There's a lot of work that goes into comedy that you don't see. "They say professionals should write an hour of new material every year. "That doesn't sound like much until you start doing it. "It's taken me four years and this is a show-

"A lot of people are actually terrified that I'm going to write jokes about them."

Police are appealing for witnesses to a fight on a bus between Dandenong and Narre Warren. Endeavour Hills Police said the incident occurred about 4.30pm on Monday 5 February. The 23-year-old victim boarded a bus at Dandenong Plaza, heading towards Fountain Gate Shopping Centre. He had a verbal altercation with three to four young men on the bus described as aged between 14 and 16 years and of Middle Eastern appearance. The victim got off the bus at Overland Drive in Narre Warren and was assaulted by two to three of the men. Police appealed for witnesses to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

FOCUS ON … MEDICALLY SPEAKING

Water works The prostate gland is an organ that lies at the base of the male bladder. As Urologist Philip McCahy of the Melbourne Urology Centre explained, prostate's "main functions are to produce semen and cause men trouble as they age." Mr McCahy explained there are three main groups of problems that urologists see with the prostate. These are inflammation, benign growths and cancer. "Inflammation of the prostate is called prostatitis and this can either be a very painful acute problem with fevers and difficulty passing urine or a more chronic problem with deep-seated pelvic pains," Mr McCahy said. "The former is often related to infections and treated with antibiotics, whilst the latter is less frequently associated with infections and can be difficult to adequately treat. Advice from a urologist is often required." Mr McCahy said that benign prostate growths are extremely common and cause the well-known symptoms of a poor urinary stream, frequent urination and getting up to urinate at night (nocturia). "Urinary tract infections and the complete inability to pass water (urinary retention) are also possible," Mr McCahy said. "GPs can prescribe alpha-blocker drugs which help to open up the bladder neck but these only improve symptoms by about 20%. So if the blockage is very bad they won't make much difference. "Urologists deal with these problems on a regular basis and I recommend assessment with a simple flow test and ultrasound scan of the bladder. If the flow is poor, operations can

"There have been numerous attempts to improve on operations and most have not stood the test of time. Lasers can be used and may be particularly useful if the patient is taking blood thinning medicine. A novel staple type device can be used and may reduce some of the unwanted side-effects of the standard operations.

The charity provides support and services to families of premature and sick newborns.

Power at their fingertips Students at Narre Warren North Primary School are feeling the power of science. Even unbelievably by using potatoes as a power source for a clock. The students also propelled bottle rockets, raced cars and built electronic circuits as part of their exploration.

Montanna and Tasita create light as part of an electronics project.

Nicolletta powered a clock using a potato 'battery''.

Callum, Broadie and Zoe explore force and movement using car tracks.

Casey acting CEO replaced By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council has switched acting chief executives, a month after its long-acting CEO Mike Tyler’s sudden departure. Steve Dalton, the council’s director of Bunjil Place Construction, was announced as the new acting chief executive on 21 March. He replaces Sheena Frost, who had acted as chief executive from 23 February. Mayor Geoff Ablett said Mr Dalton was “well placed to lead Casey through the transition to a new CEO”. “Steve led the delivery of the world-class Bunjil Place on-time and on-budget.” Mr Dalton would stay until an “extensive” recruitment process for the position was complete, Cr Ablett said. Casey Council has not commented on why Ms Frost was replaced as acting chief executive. Ms Frost presided over a Casey council

meeting the night before the switch was announced. During the meeting’s public question time, Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association member Brendan Browne asked the council to provide details of Mr Tyler’s severance pay and entitlements. The council declined to comment on the grounds of confidentiality. Mr Browne also asked if any staff departed in February as a result of audits and investigations. Casey declined to disclose details on the grounds that it was “prohibited” information under data-protection law. At the meeting, Ms Frost said “not a given” that audit and investigation reports were released publicly. Cr Aziz said the reality was that the council had “absolutely nothing to hide” but was bound by legislation not to comment on the matters publicly.

Cavs' mixed start By Hayley Wildes There's plenty to like about the Casey Cavaliers for the 2018 Big V basketball season. The Division 1 women's side showcased its improvement over the summer with a winning start to its season against Whittlesea, 72-64. Tanarly Hood (17 points, 3 assists) impressed in her first game for the Lady Cavs and sent a message to the rest of the competition that the 2017 Division 1 MVP will be just as dangerous in 2018. A stellar defensive effort in the third quarter saw the Lady Cavs hold the Pacers to just eight points and stamp their authority on the contest. Amanda Hobba was a presence on both ends of the court with 13 points and 6 rebounds. But unfortunately for the State Championship Men, they fell to the McKinnon Cougars in their season opener, 91-84. After a dominant first quarter, in which the Cavs got out to a double-digit lead, the Cougars fought their way back as Dillon Stith dominated (27 points, 15 rebounds). For the Cavs, Brandon Polk (20 points, 9 rebounds) continued where he left off last season and Ben Louis (16 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists) - as he so often does - did it all for Casey. In his first game for the Cavs, Matt Donlan (7 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists) showcased his all-round game but will be looking to improve his shooting (3-15 from the field) as he struggled to find his offensive rhythm. In Youth League 1 men's action, Casey got the win over Camberwell, 84-75, in their first game of the season. Oyiti Amum (15 points, 11 rebounds) and Brendan Head (14 points, 11 rebounds) led the Cavs home down the stretch.

Ben Louis was dominant, but it wasn't enough as Casey lost to McKinnon in their season opener. 167974 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Casey's Youth League 2 women got their 2018 campaign off to a hot start with a dominant win over Whittlesea, 87-65. They had all the answers for the Pacers, as Tess Young (16 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists), Peta Rhodes (19 points, 5 steals) and Lauren Tuplin (16 points, 3 steals) had terrific outings. Casey's State Championship men play

Knox at 3pm on Sunday at Casey Stadium in their home opener, with the Youth League One Men playing beforehand at 1:30pm.

'Slick' Davies takes out the top gong By Nick Creely Champion Heinz Southern Districts all-rounder Michael 'Slick' Davies captured his maiden Wookey Medal last Wednesday evening at the Dandenong Club, as the champion Turf 1 player of the 2017/18 season. The star Cobra; who is one of the most well respected players in the region; enjoyed his finest season in the association, notching up 468 runs at 42.5 and 35 wickets at the incredible average of 10.2. Known for his stump to stump line and skiddy action, Davies was the leading wicket taker across the Turf 1 home and away season, and also played a fine hand with the bat on several occasions. Davies plundered three half centuries and took three five wicket hauls, earning himself 37 votes from the DDCA's umpires, meaning he is the first HSD player to win the prestigious award. In a close second was Buckley Ridges champ Daniel 'DJ' Watson, whose remarkably consistent season saw him finish in a close second. DJ also enjoyed arguably his greatest year down at Park Oval, whacking 746 runs at 62.2; including no score under 20; and taking 17 wickets at 25.4 with his pace bowling. Rounding out the top five is Mordialloc superstar and two time Damien Fleming medallist Ian Daniel, who produced some extraordinary performances throughout the season, including his 171 not out against Dingley and his grand final 6/71 against Springvale South, five time Wookey Medal winner Steven Spoljaric and Hallam opening batsman Leigh Booth, who cracked 565 runs at the top of the order for the Hawks.

Burras on a mission By Nick Creely Keysborough are determined to be hard to play against, and have a hunger that they believe can help get them back into the premiership window. The Burras; who finished second on the Division 2 ladder in 2017; fell flat in its preliminary final against Murrumbeena, and are a side on a mission as the 2018 season draws closer with each day. "We learnt a fair few lessons out of last year's finals series, and we went away from probably what made us a successful side throughout the year; I think the focus (this year) is playing a brand of footy that hopefully sustains through a finals series, but we've got to earn that right," Burras coach Matt Ferguson said. "It's more of a motivator (the loss), rather than a downer for us; we're very hungry and in this competition, you have to be up every week; we won't have September on our mind until we get to a stage where we qualify." The Burras list is shaping up to be one of the strongest in the competition, with some high quality recruits in James Anwyl, Aaron Mcllroy, Matthew Carnelley, Damian Collins and Bailey Wardle the perfect complement to the likes of champions Ryan Goodes, Chris Bryan and Michael Downie, as well as the awaited return of forward Dylan Carlsson. "Anwyl has fitted in like he's been around for a decade, he's an amazing defender, and a good leader which is fantastic; Mcllroy has been super impressive, Damian Collins from Narre will be one of our starting midfielders, and we've had a couple of Under-19's that are looking ready for senior footy," Ferguson said. "And we've got Michael Downie back from injury, and he's our captain, and Dylan Carlsson, who is back after having brain surgery, so they're two quality players to inject back in our side." Players are flocking to Keysborough Reserve this pre-season as the Burras embark on launching an exciting Under 19's, and Ferguson said that the majority are bottom aged, but "extremely exciting". As for the seniors and reserves training group, Ferguson said that the numbers at training have increased, a good problem to have so close to the season. "We've put together a senior training squad, and that is about 35 players, so we're really well placed; we have plenty of players ready to play seniors, and it helps the depth of the club," he said. "There will be some new guys in there, but a lot of the guys last year played a lot of footy together, so there will be some headaches in the coaches' room every week, that's for sure." The Burras kick off their 2018 campaign with a big clash against Mount Waverley at Keysborough Reserve. Thursday, 22 March, 2018

18. WHICH Pakistani cricketer played in the Sheffield Shield for New South Wales in

The way in which Pakenham was comprehensively outplayed in all facets of the West Gippsland Cricket Association's Premier grand final was, on face value, a letdown for the natural observer. But the way Kooweerup performed on the weekend - well that just added yet another telling chapter to the Demon legend Since the 2007/08 season, Kooweerup's first XI has been in eight grand finals, winning six of those - including the weekend's effort. Over the past decade, they've arguably enjoyed more success than any top-flight team of any sport the News covers. And on the weekend, their two biggest stars ensured they'd add to it. It started skipper Mark Cooper, who stood up to be counted with a near flawless ton (101) in his side's 7/275. And it finished with vice-captain Jess Mathers, who took an astonishing 9/49 as he played the lead role in dismissing the Lions for just 126 in their reply. By stumps on day one, not many would have realistically given the Lions a chance to turn the decider around. But not even the most upbeat of Demons fans could have envisaged just how dominant their side would be on Sunday - courtesy of one of the greatest spells of fast bowling seen on the competition's biggest stage. With an ability to still move the ball both ways despite a howling breeze, Mathers struck early and often - bowling 28 overs, including 11 maidens, and conceding no extras. None. Surely his team mates must have sensed he was 'on' from the outset, because they all played their part in his astonishing performance. The pair of catches by Matt Bright, and the two by Mathers off his own bowling, were testament to that - particularly the first wicket of the innings, in which Mathers removed one of the best batsmen in the competition (Chris Smith) with a jaw-dropping one-hander. It wasn't in the cards for Mathers to take all 10 wickets, but he came perilously close - with a number of edges through slip off his bowling late in the game. Though this third chapter of Kooweerup and Pakenham's grand final trilogy wasn't a thrilling finale, it was another reminder that these Demons are going nowhere - that their power on the biggest stage remains as big as it ever has been. In the District division, for Devon Meadows, the 2018 decider just had to be different. There is no doubt the Panthers were determined to make amends for what captain Ash Adams admitted was a choke in last year's grand final. After dominating all season, they fell to Clyde - unable to make inroads with the bat. They were never meant to lose that game, but with that added fire in the belly, they came to play against Carlisle Park over the weekend. The Vikings won the toss and elected to bat in hot conditions at Glover Recreation Reserve on Saturday afternoon. But a devastating opening spell from Matthew Hutchinson (4/41) saw his Panthers gain the ascendancy early. He took the wickets of both Vikings' openers - Ammar Bajwa (0) and David Nutting (4) - and had the visitors reeling at 2/6. Travis Canavan (7) took some pressure off as he faced 44 balls and Jason Hameeteman (39) batted brilliantly in a composed innings before Scott Clark (1/20) struck through to claim the key wicket. Hutchinson's bowling was ruthless, keeping the pressure on with a consistent line and length. The left-armer claimed the wickets of Mark Henry (28) and Heath Straughair (11) to have the Vikings struggling at 8/108.

Adams proved troublesome for the Vikings' middle and lower order batsmen, taking 3/39 in 19 overs. A key tenth-wicket partnership between Tanay Katarey (28) and James Gilbert (5) frustrated the Panthers as they put on a handy 34 runs to see the Vikings post a total of 149. After dismissing the Vikings, the Panthers' batsmen had to endure a tough 15 over period to finish day one. Chasing 150 runs to claim the Premiership, Devon Meadows opener Lucas Carroll (4) was dismissed in the second over of the innings, bowled by Michael Sinclair (2/33). Next to fall was fellow opener Kyle Salerno (10), after being trapped in front of his stumps by Straughair (2/49). Nathan Worstelling (6) also struggled with the fire that the Vikings were sending down the pitch. Day one concluded with the Panthers in an unconvincing position of 3/39 - still needing 111 runs with seven wickets in hand on day two. Day two kicked off with wind wreaking havoc; blowing bails off stumps and hats off heads. Despite the windy conditions, Darren O'Brien (44) and Jason Dodd (28) were composed and worked in tandem to ensure the Panthers' innings got back on track. The Vikings had their chances, but dropped catches will haunt the team as they were unable to take their opportunities in the field. O'Brien and Dodd put on a crucial 60-run partnership before Dodd was caught off the bowling of Katarey (1/7). O'Brien continued on his way, dispatching anything that was in his hitting zone. He was eventually dismissed, caught behind by Nutting off the bowling of Sinclair (2/33). At 5/104, Scott Clark (40) waltzed to the middle and hit a four to get off the mark. It was a sign of things to come. On the next delivery, he struck another four as he immediately stamped his authority on the contest. Devon Meadows headed into the tea break at 5/112, needing just 38 runs to complete redemption. Clark was in no mood to take things slowly as he put on a batting masterclass. The 60th over, 1-6-4-6-.-., saw Clark smash Straughair all over the park and put the result beyond doubt. He hit another three boundaries in the next over, before Brad Miles (10) hit the winning runs with a four. It was party time for Devon Meadows as they claimed the five-wicket victory over Carlisle Park. Hutchinson (4/41) was named Man of the Match for his efforts in setting up the victory with a brutal bowling display on day one. "Hutchy was awesome," Captain Ash Adams said. "He didn't perform too well last year in the grand final and then this year he just brought his game and he's too good for this standard of cricket." Adams was thrilled with his team's effort and was proud to be a part of success at Devon Meadows. "It's huge for the club because of the pressure we had, after obviously choking last year in the final. To get the club up - who've been starved of success - is a really good thing." Adams said. In regards to Clark's match-winning and highly entertaining 40 - which saw him garner runs strictly via boundaries (seven fours and two sixes) - Adams wanted him to be aggressive and get the win as quickly as possible. "It was really good. At tea, I just told him to bat for 10-15 balls and then just get it done so we could hurry up and win." Adams said. He also implored his team to stick together next season as the Panthers move up to the WGCA Premier Division. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

Mordialloc claimed its second straight Turf 1 premiership by clinching the 2017/18 title on the weekend. 178833

Pictures: ROB CAREW

Mordi wins Bloods battle By Nick Creely Stamping itself as one of the great sides of the Dandenong District modern era, Mordialloc and its remarkable resolve once again lifted itself to Turf 1 premiership glory after doing it the hard way against Springvale South. Fans flocked to Cashman Oval in Doveton to watch the finest turf cricket in the region, and they were sure treated to a show, in a grand final that was glittered with spectacular catches, missed opportunities, extreme switches of momentum, and ultimately back to back flags for the Bloodhounds. In stifling heat on Saturday, Bloods skipper Craig Slocombe didn’t hesitate to win the toss and elect to bat, and on a pitch that seemingly resembled a road, openers Liam Hamilton and Nathan King strolled to the pitch on a mission. Hamilton was sturdy in defence early, while the more aggressive King took a liking to Stuart Squires (2/43), lifting him down the ground on several occasions to set the tone. Coming on from the Box Street end, Ian Daniel (6/71) almost immediately found the breakthrough in what proved to be a match winning spell by the superstar, trapping Hamilton (10) LBW, before ending King’s cameo on 46 after crashing through the stumps to bring the score to 2/72 in a terrific period of sustained pressure. In came the ever dangerous Steven Spoljaric (34), who immediately got off the mark with a tidy flick to mid-on for a single, and instantly the feel was that the five time Wookey winner could be in for a big one. Just as the Bloods looked to be swinging the momentum back again, Daniel’s brilliance once again shone, knocking over Dylan Quirk (21) after a gritty 80 ball stay, and then shortly after removing Jack Sketcher (4), courtesy of an absolutely stellar catch by the nimble Dylan Campbell at mid-on. With the two most experienced players in the association; Spoljaric and Slocombe; at the crease; a period of consolidation was required, but yet again, immense pressure from Daniel and quick Chathura Athukorala (1/31) brought about the undoing of the pair. Just as the pair looked to be settling, a brain fade from Spoljaric, in which the champ cut in the air straight to point, ended his innings, and not long after, Slocombe (15) took the bait and berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

attempted to lift Daniel over mid-off, only for the ball to be swallowed up by Campbell yet again, and suddenly the score was 6/143. Courtesy of a terrific, fighting 28 to Malinga Bandara, the Bloods scratched their way to 187, leaving the Bloodhounds nine overs to face before stumps. Daniel finished with the figures of 6/71, bowling 34 overs; almost straight; at the Box Street end in a performance reminiscent to his 8/43 taken in last year’s grand final. It was always going to be a case of curtailing Malinga Bandara’s leg spin before stumps, but seamer Tim Ford found the first wicket, trapping Brendan Morris LBW in the fifth over. Desperate to protect Ian Daniel, Peter McDermott was sent out amongst some heated words from the Bloods, and right before stumps, Bandara spun one past the bat of youngster Jakob Woinarski (5), leaving the premiers 2/15 at stumps, and with lots of work to do. Wind and rain took hold on Sunday morning, forcing the play to be delayed by 30 minutes, but the Bloodhounds got off to a strong start in some difficult conditions, with McDermott (34) and Ryan Morris (24) playing with some aggression and swiftly knocking up 43 runs. A brilliant bit of fielding at backward square leg by Andrew Staude brought about the end of Morris at 3/52, and in came Daniel, who despite looking shaky, managed to play with a straight bat and account for spinners Jarryd Straker (1/37) and Bandara (3/72). But on the last ball before the lunch break, Daniel popped a ball to short leg with Bandara getting one to spit off a length, and the Bloods went into raptures, capturing the best player and taking the score to 4/67. Almost instantly after the lunch break, Bandara struck again, with McDermott snicking off to Slocombe at first slip, and at 5/70 the game was swaying towards the men from Alex Nelson. As the Bloodhounds have done for the best part of three years, they took the game on when it looked to be vanquishing, and a 31 run stand between Chathura Athukorala (14) and Damith Mapa Ralage (63); which included a massive six from Athukorala over square leg; left the equation at 87 runs with four wickets left in hand.

And as Bloodhounds skipper Stuart Squires (38 not out) explains after riding a wave of emotion to play another defining hand, his side toasted sweet success after an incredible knock by Mapa Ralage; who played with utter class and dare; saw them run away with a convincing four wicket victory in an incredible show of resolve and skill. “I didn’t quite know how we were going to conjure it up, but that’s our way, we find a way,” he said moments after walking off the ground. “I think the game plan was to enjoy, we didn’t want any pressure; every over, we just said ‘let’s enjoy it’, and it was on them to get the wicket. “It started to turn with Chooka (Athukorala) and Mapa, and they put the pressure on them, and it just allowed me to play my dinky role that I do. “I think him and Chooka taking on Bandara was crucial, and we couldn’t let him bowl 30 overs for 30 runs, we had to take some runs off him and those two did it perfectly. “I’ve won seven for Mordi now, it’s just absolutely amazing; I honestly didn’t think we were going to do it, and during the week I thought they were the better side,” he said. As one of the Bloodhounds’ greatest ever leaders, Squires addressed his future in the DDCA, in a legacy that goes well beyond his raw stats. “I’m going to have a year off next year, I’ve got a baby on the way, so it may be it for me,” an emotional Squires said. “That’s the best thing about Mordi, if someone goes out, someone comes in.” Ian Daniel captured the Damien Fleming Medal as the Turf 1 man of the match, making it his second in a row, as he too builds a legacy as one of the great finals performers.

Demons’ grand final hopes gone By Nick Creely AFL WOMEN’S REVIEW - ROUND 7

Skip John Green waits to bowl in front of club supporters at Burden Park.

Narre powers home NARRE WARREN BOWLS The second last round of the Narre Warrren, Berwick Mazda aggregate triples was held on Wednesday last week with the largest number of teams (18). Winners for the day were Narre Warren's Ralph Devonshire, Colin Groom and Andy Tobler, with Berwick's Kurt Oswald, Cliff Fothergill and Ken Graevner runners-up. Bowlers are reminded that the last of series on 11 April will include the presentation of the Mazda MX5 for the weekend competition. Narre Warren's Division 5 team was at Burden Park for the first day of Sectional finals on Saturday. On a warm and breezy day they were drawn to play Glen Waverley. Narre Warren held a small 10-shot advantage at the break. Starting slowly after that, Narre Warren rallied and finished with a 14-shot win. Mark Groom, Zade Bulmer, Philip Howard and Craig Moore won well 28-17, supported by Jos van Hout, Alan Mark, David Wilkinson and John Green (25-17) and Colin Groom, Keith Mark, Graham Dodd and Geoff Miller (22-18) in a close one. Wilma Haringsma, Wally Finlayson, Peter Lister and Norm Hosmer started slowly but rallied to go down 14-23. This win places them in the division's top 4 in the Metropolitan area. Narre Warren 89 defeated Glen Waverley 75. On Sunday, Narre Warren's Division 5 backed up at Mulgrave Country Club for their semi-final against Heathmont. In windy conditions, which weren't ideal, Narre Warren was 14 shots down at the tea break, but in one late end all rinks rallied and scored 11 shots to put themselves back in the game. From there the Narre team held its nerve to score an overall five-shot win. The grand final, at a venue to be decided, will be against western suburbs club, Palm Lake. Narre Warren 82 defeated Heathmont 77.

In just 90 seconds, Melbourne went from grand final-bound to heartbreak. The Dogs booked themselves a grand final spot against Brisbane after the AFLW's leading goalkicker Brooke Lochland wheeled onto her left to sink a classy, match winning goal that put them two points ahead with only seconds to play, 5.3 (33) to 4.7 (31). Now Melbourne will have to rue another costly, wasted opportunity that ends their season in the cruellest of fashion. With the northerly wind at VU Whitten Oval, the Demons were unable to capitalize in those two quarters, and it ultimately cost them the game despite having periods of dominance through Karen Paxman, who played a superb game for the visitors. In a clash that was a genuine struggle, the Demons were down one on the bench for virtually the entire match. Star midfielder Sarah Lampard suffered a knee injury in the first term, but looked to have the wood over the highly fancied Dogs before Lochland kicked the sealer. “(I’m) shattered, extremely disappointed for the group, they put so much work into it," Demons coach Mark Stinear said postmatch. "From our program’s point of view, we’d like to think they’re worthy of another week in this competition. “You’ve got to win games, and we couldn’t do that.” Stinear was full of praise for the Dogs’ ability to keep coming at them, but lamented on some defensive errors by his side late in the game. “(It was) a massive effort (from the opposition), to have that belief that they’d keep attacking and get the games on their terms was huge; if we had our time again, we’d do some things differently, we didn’t have the 21 players contributing across the board,” he said. “With 90 seconds (to go), we started to believe it was realistic, but we didn’t block our defensive fifty well enough and to the Bulldogs’ credit, they took the opportunity when it popped up, they deserved the win.” With the Dees not qualifying for the grand final after again being one of the fancied sides, Stinear said they will work on some key areas that halted them this season. “We created a lot of opportunities throughout the year, and there’s so many little momentum swings, and we have to take our chances in front of goal,” he said.

Skip Geoff Miller signals two more to Narre Warren.

CRANBOURNE BOWLS After being runners-up in the past three grand finals, the Cranbourne ladies went one better this time around to be crowned Division 1 Ladies Pennant champions. Arguably the best team in the competition for many years, this time they have the silverware, or at least the pennant flag, to prove it. What a year it has been for them with only one loss for the year, in Round 6. Most likely their toughest game was last week in the semifinal against Pakenham, when they had a battle on their hands and were looking at an upset loss, but they came back determined to play in another grand final. That previous game set them up determined to win the grand final game against Edithvale. But they knew Edithvale were not going to be a pushover and the game itself was an epic. All three rinks were tied into a battle with little between them until the last end before the lunch break when skip Sue Hudson and her crew picked up five shots

Cranbourne’s proud Pennant winners to give Cranbourne a 10-shot lead. The battle continued after lunch but the determination of the Cranbourne side to take the pennant flag was relentless. In the end it was a win to Cranbourne by 21 shots and the crowd joined in with the team and jumped up and down with excitement. "This has been a long time coming but we

are all very, very happy" said team coach Isobel Partington. The ladies now have a chance next week to play-off against Lalor to become Division 1 Metropolitan Champions and an opportunity to play next year at the highest level in Premier league. Pennant Division 1 grand-final: Cranbourne 72 defeated Edithvale 51. The grand final team was: Isobel Partington, Helen Witherden, Maree Taylor, Sandra Mueller, Joyce Pearce, Sue Hudson, Maureen Cameron, Freda Farrall, Joyce McLisky, Kath Dudink, Shirley Venville and Lynne Wood. Meanwhile, in the Saturday six-a-side competition, after last week's grand final pennant victory skips Scott Di Piazza and Rob Sorensen and their teams played against Whittlesea and won by two shots. They will now play off in the Divisional six-a-side metropolitan championship. Cranbourne 38 defeated Whittlesea 36. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

MOTORING

New Stinger adds sizzle By Vani Naidoo Comedians will tell you that timing can make or break an act. The arrival of the Stinger, just as the lights were turned off on the local production of certain well-loved Aussie legends, is testament to Kia’s impeccable timing. The Stinger is no laughing matter though, the rear-wheel-drive performance car that doubles as family chariot. It is not only the fastest production Kia, it may also mark the end of the badge snobbery that tends to follow in Kia’s stead no matter the talents the South Korean manufacturer displays. We were delighted to have the company of the V6 Stinger Si for the week. It not only turned heads but made for a truly enjoyable experience. With its sleek profile, arresting headlight stack and funky vents that are both stylistic and functional, the Stinger is hard to ignore. It has a touch of the Audi A7 Sportsback about it too but more in a nod to style than creepy imitation. The signature Kia grille smiles pleasantly back at you but seems to give off a more determined edge than it does in the SUVs for instance. Effort has made in the cabin to create a comfortable contemporary space that does lack for premium touches. We liked the harmony of the centre stack where buttons are used effectively to complement touchscreen functionality. The dials for the climate control and audio systems lie below the 8.0-inch colour infotainment screen and are so much more effective than trying to navigate the screen each time you want to change them. Drinkholders are on the smallish side as the door bins, but probably not such that they will annoy. The electrically-adjustable leather seats are

With its sleek profile, arresting headlight stack and funky vents the Kia Stinger is hard to ignore. set low in the cabin and are supportive and comfortable offering a slightly sporty feel. The sloping roof of the Stinger impedes headroom for very tall back seat passengers but there is plenty of space to stretch out the legs. The kids had no problem settling in and loved the controllable air vents and storage in the pull-down middle seat compartment. There are two IsoFix fixings but fitting the top tether of the car seat can take a bit of manoeuvring. Marketing promises that this hatch offers the practicality of a wagon is tainted a touch by a boot which is smaller than you would expect - a real disadvantage of rear drive cars. The boot is long and wide enough to deal with the schoolbags and the weekly shop but the lack of depth puts paid to carrying bulkier items. There are no hooks or pockets either to stop things from sliding around. All Stingers come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as satellite navigation with 10-year SUNA map updates. The 8.0-inch colour touchscreen also presents the view of

Kia Stinger Si pricing and specifications: the reverse camera with good picture quality and on-trend graphics. The system itself is simple enough to navigate through touch and works well with the dials and buttons for climate and volume control. There is no lusty V8 in this Stinger range but Australians have shown that we are not averse to a twin-turbo V6. It is the latter that lies at the heart of this Stinger Si with the 3.3-litre unit producing a healthy 272kW of power, and 510Nm of torque with a wide 1300 - 4500rpm band. A smooth eight-speed auto transmission drives the rear wheels and for the most part performs to the car’s advantage. The Si is well-equipped in terms of safety with a package that includes seven-airbags, lane-keep assist, rear parking sensors, rearview camera autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian-protecting pop-up bonnet. No blind spot alert or rear cross traffic alert though which are the preserve of the GT line and slightly disappointing given you are handing over close to $60,000.

Price: from $55,990 (plus on-road costs) Engine: 3.3-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder petrol Output: 272kW at 6000rpm and 510Nm from 1300 to 4500 rpm Transmission: Eight-speed auto, RWD Fuel: 10.2L/100km (ADR Combined) Warranty: Seven years unlimited kilometres Safety Rating: Five Star ANCAP While there is a natural temptation to compare the Stinger to Holden’s V8 Commodore, the reality is that Kia’s offering is far from a muscle car. In its defence though, it doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a comfortable tourer with an exciting little bite. It ambles along expertly on its Australiantuned suspension, adept at going about its business but also willing and eager should you find opportunity to allow it to stretch. This Stinger is nicely balanced, the rear-wheel drive dynamics ensuring a settled feel unless you push it to the edge of its limits. To inspect the Kia range contact Berwick Kia, 2-12 Clyde Road, Berwick. Phone 9709 1900.
