Alpacas with maracas a hit with the kids Some of Casey's most beloved four-legged furriends visited Bunjil Place for the first time last week, as part of National Simultaneous Storytime celebrations. This year’s chosen book was Alpacas with Maracas, and staff from Myuna Farm in Doveton brought along two of the crowd-pleasing animals to tie in with the theme. Eli from Pakenham showed the book to his new fluffy mate, who seemed surprised to see the antics on the page. Nearly 300 families packed Bunjil Place for the reading, in which Casey's kids joined with children from all across Australia in a live reading of the book, which was broadcast on the Bunjil Place big screen at 11am.

after a brawl at a Fountain Drive reserve in Narre Warren. Ms Webdale said she would like to see an increased police presence at night at the centre to stop the incidents from occurring.

"As a social hub and meeting point in the local community, Westfield Fountain Gate strives to ensure all our customers feel welcome, comfortable and safe when visiting.

A man has been arrested in the latest in a spate of violent incidents around Fountain Gate Shopping Centre. The man was taken into custody after a fight broke out between six people last week. Police were called to reports of an alleged altercation about 7pm on Friday 24 May and issued a move on order to those involved. At the same time, officers were told that an 18-year-old Cranbourne man had allegedly stolen alcohol from a store just prior to the incident, and he was arrested. The man has been charged with affray and theft, and bailed to appear at Dandenong

Magistrate's Court on 3 July. Chef Rachael Webdale has worked in the centre for over five years and said the incident left her feeling shaken. "Security couldn't do anything, they kept pushing the kids outside and then they'd run back in again. It was very frightening, I've had a bit of anxiety coming to work now. I don't feel comfortable working at nighttime now. And just to see the look on our customers' faces, it was pretty frightening for them as well," she said. Friday night's event follows a number of similar incidents near the shopping centre, including one earlier in May in which two young women were hospitalised with stab wounds

The Federal election was the story of the day at Facey Property's second annual Southeast Business Breakfast. On Friday 10 May, Facey Property played host to both clients and customers for a morning of networking, coffee, market discussion and food by The Healthlink Crew. With the then-upcoming election looming large in the everyone's minds, keynote speakers Nerida Conisbee, chief economist at REA Group, and Julian Cheng, a tax consulting partner at Pitcher Partners, addressed the impacts that either a Labor or Liberal government's election would have on the commercial property market. Ms Conisbee spoke on how world events in the US, Asia and the UK as well as the national election may have variable impacts on property, possibly leading to less pressure on mortgage rates with more pressure on employment. She highlighted that while there is no shortage of money, consumer confidence and the fear of over-paying are key factors limiting price growth. Meanwhile, industrial real estate remains the most popular asset class with land values reaching record highs and leading to rental growth. Mr Cheng focused more heavily on the proposed tax changes of each of the leading parties with the Coalition aiming for reduced corporate and low to middle income owners' tax rates. He warned of Labor's proposed removal of negative gearing and reduction of the discount on capital gains and the potentially negative impact these changes could have property investment. After the Southeast Business breakfast, and

The audience enjoys election-eve insights at the Southeast Business Breakfast. with the result of the election now known, Ms Conisbee added that," Property market conditions are now looking far more positive than where they were at the start of the year. The Federal election is now over, we have returned to a Coalition Government, access to finance is slowly easing and it looks like we may have an interest rate cut. Despite conditions being slower this year, we are seeing very little signs of distress in property markets and employment growth remains positive. The second half of 2019 is looking far better than the first half."

Mr Cheng's post-election comments were less positive on the residential market, stating, "We are still seeing weakness in the residential market. It's difficult to gauge when a turnaround in prices is expected but at least the uncertainty associated with Labor's proposed negative gearing and capital gains tax policies has now been removed." Facey Property said it looks forward to the commercial market continuing to be led by a strong industrial property market post the Federal election.

Berwick's intensity from the opening bounce until the final siren simply can't be matched. Their premiership victory against Narre Warren on Saturday - giving the club back-toback flags for just the second time in club history - was intense, finals footy laced with the right amount of class. After a third premiership in four years, the word 'dynasty' is deservingly being bandied around, and for good reason.

The club has a stranglehold over the southeast region - they're relentless, driven by success and are always chasing their next challenge. It's the cornerstone of all successful sporting clubs. While the weather may have been arctic in their 51-point win over Narre Warren, the Wickers put in a magical performance befitting of a champion team in the midst of a golden era. From the superstar Travis Tuck, who came to the club with a high expectation that has

now culminated with a best on ground medal in a grand final, to their champion skipper Madi Andrews, dynamic forward Harry Money, gun midfielder Bryce Rutherford and reliable defenders Jo West and Michael Riseley, the Wickers possess remarkable star power. "We pride ourselves on our relentless approach," Berwick coach Stewart Kemperman said in the aftermath of another premiership win. And as for Kemperman, he couldn't have a dreamt of a start to his senior coaching career

- two premierships in two years. Not only is the former Noble Park champion blessed with an incredible squad, but he's a forward thinker, a modern day coach with an incredible tactical nous. The foundations are set, and as the club embarks on a new era in AFL Outer East, it seems the Wickers show no signs of slowing down. Turn to sport for more about a golden day for the Wickers in the final ever grand final of the South East Football Netball League.

Solar gains

Rail’s bottom line By Danielle Kutchel Relief is on the way for frustrated south eastern train commuters, with the state budget allocating funding to the long-awaited duplication of the Cranbourne line. In its 2019-20 budget, handed down on Monday 27 May, the government allocated $750 million to the project which will see the number of trains running during the peak doubled and trains every 10 minutes from every station between Cranbourne and the city. The duplicated section will run for eight kilometres between Dandenong and Cranbourne. Planning and procurement is set to begin this year, with construction to start in 2021. The project is expected to be completed in 2023. Meanwhile, both Cranbourne and Lynbrook stations are set to receive more carparks: 400 spaces at Cranbourne, and 150 spaces at Lynbrook. The budget also reiterated the government’s pledge to remove more level crossings, including Camms Road, Cranbourne; Cardinia Road, Pakenham; Evans Road, Lyndhurst; Greens Road, Dandenong South; McGregor Road, Main Street and Racecourse Road, Pakenham; and Webster Street, Dandenong, with funding allocated for these projects. The budget also includes funding for planning for upgrades on a number of painful south eastern arterials, including he duplication of Hall Road from McCormicks Road, the removal of two roundabouts on the Western Port Highway at the intersections with Ballarto Road and Cranbourne-Frankston

Road, and the widening of Narre Warren North Road from Fox Road to Belgrave-Hallam Road. Funding has been provided for new warning signals at the South Gippsland Highway and Lynbrook Boulevard intersection in Lynbrook. Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas said the budget contained good news for a number of schools and clubs in the community, including Hampton Park Secondary College which will receive upgrades to classrooms and facilities; Berwick Chase Primary School, which has received funding for a new community sports oval and pavilion; and Robert Booth Reserve, which has been allocated $3 million for its redevelopment. A new scout hall in Narre Warren South has also been funded, to the tune of $650,000. Schools in the area will share in $1.8 billion in state funding, including Cranbourne West 7-12 and Special School, Casey Fields (Five

Ways) Primary School, Botanic Ridge Primary School, Cranbourne South Primary School, Cranbourne West Primary School, St Peter’s College and Cranbourne Secondary College. However, the Opposition has raised concerns about funding priorities. In a statement, David Southwick, Opposition police spokesman, said the government had failed to fund its election commitment to build new police stations in Narre Warren and Clyde North. A government spokesperson hit back. “To support the record uplift in police resourcing in Victoria, $68 million has been set aside for two new, 24 hour, state-of-the-art police stations in Clyde North and Narre Warren,“ the spokesperson said. The spokesperson declined to provide a timeline for the projects.

Cranbourne and Narre Warren residents are growing more solar power savvy, topping the state's hotspot. This is according to new data released by Clean Energy Regular with solar installations between 2001 and 2019. The postcode 3977, which consists mostly of Cranbourne, led the charge with 8, 245 installations, while the postcode of 3805 (Narre Warren) took out fifth position with 4,363 installations, according to the data. DC Power Co's chief executive Nic Frances Gilley said many households were turning to solar "to take matters into their own hands and reduce their bills." He said it was no surprise Cranbourne and Narre Warren were leading the charge by adopting solar in record numbers. He added the number of rooftop solar systems would continue to grow as "more people learn about the significant savings they can make through solar," "As more households make the switch to solar they need an electricity company that does more than just give them a bill. This is why DC Power Co launched, to serve Australia's solar households and help them maximise their savings," Mr Gilley said. DC Power Co, Australia's first solar-focused electricity company, launched to support the two million solar households who lack the information and support to get the most from their rooftop solar. The launch coincides with new research by market insights group Essence that suggests almost two-thirds of solar households have a limited understanding of their system or lack the confidence to get the most from it and save, according DC Power Co.

Tulliallan land tussle heads to VCAT compulsory hearing By Andrew Cantwell The City of Casey will face off with a developer at a compulsory VCAT meeting this week over opposing plans for land earmarked as public open space in the Tulliallan estate, in Cranbourne North. The VCAT ordered conference is over the developer’s most recent application to subdivide the land for further housing - with 130plus lots proposed for the 6.8 hectare site. Casey Council has opposed the application and wants the land used for its original planned purpose - as advertised on the glossy estate promotional leaflets - of sporting fields and recreational space. Waiting in the wings for an outcome in Casey Council’s favour are the local residents, and the Tulliallan Primary School community. The subject land is central to the new estate and just over the fence from the school, which has mushroomed from 300 enrolments in 2017 to an expected intake next year of 1100. The school community had hoped by now to have use of the developed sporting fields for school sports and other activities. In a statement to Star News, Tulliallan School Council president Tara Hall indicated the issue was critical for the land-locked and

rapidly growing school. “The development of the land adjacent to our school into 140-plus more homes would severely negatively impact the school,” Ms Hall said. “It would place enormous pressure on our already overcrowded enrolment numbers, not to mention the adverse effect on student health and wellbeing, as well as compounding the parking issues around the school that are already a problem and safety issue. “The local area really is lacking green space and sporting facilities, and the whole community has been eagerly awaiting the development of the land for the purpose that we were promised by the developers in the Precinct Structure Plan.” Tulliallan estate residents also want action to secure the site for sporting grounds, submitting a petition with 1200 signatures to Casey Council’s April meeting. The council has received the petition, and was awaiting the VCAT hearing. The issue of the subject land’s future all stems from a failure to secure the site by binding agreement at the time the subdivision was approved in 2014. The council was apparently advised by

planning authorities the lack of agreement was no good reason to hold up the entire subdivision. That advice has turned into a costly headache for the council and the community. Protracted negotiations over some years have broken down over an agreeable price for the land. The council was prepared to pay around $15 million based on an established convention with other developers to pay the DCP or ‘development contributions’ value of the land. The developer wants what is now the full market value - roughly twice what the council is prepared to pay. Not getting that price, and not bound by any agreement, the developer now wants to realise the value of the land through its proposed subdivision, and has taken the council to VCAT. If VCAT can’t broker a resolution this week, the state planning umpire may be forced to decide the matter at a hearing scheduled for September. Casey’s acting city planning manager Keri New indicated the issue was complex and frustrating. “Council has tried over a number of years to secure land at 195S Alisma Boulevard, within

the Tulliallan Estate in Cranbourne North, for future sports facilities” Ms New said. “Unfortunately, the negotiations with the developer (Konann Pty Ltd) broke down as the asking price for the land was significantly higher than the estimated value of the land, as contained in the development contributions plan (DCP). “Negotiations between the parties have not been able to bridge the gap to an acceptable level. “At its meeting on 22 January 2019, Council deferred consideration of a report regarding the land to allow for further negotiations with the landowner to occur. These negotiations were not successful. “A purchase price at a value significantly higher than the market valuation outlined in the DCP is not viable as it would mean that another community or sporting project to be funded by the DCP would be unable to be delivered. “The developer has been trying to obtain a planning permit to allow them to develop the land or part of the land for housing. The most recent permit application is scheduled for a compulsory conference at VCAT in late May, with a hearing scheduled for September.”

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Sara Di Giovanni, part owner of The Rise Pizzeria in Narre Warren North

What's something people don't know about you? I sang when I was in high school. What is the best thing about the opening of The Rise Pizzeria? That we get to bring something new and exciting to our local community and provide them with good food and friendly hospitality, two things we are extremely passionate about. Which author would you like to drop in for a coffee and a chat? J.K Rowling. What is your favourite holiday spot in Australia? Daylesford. What is one travel destination you have never been to that you would love to see? Morocco. What got you interested in photography? Travel. At school I..... was creative and studied art and music. What is your favourite book and why? It's too hard to choose one but probably The Strike Series by Robert Galbraith (Aka J.K Rowling) at the moment. What's your favourite pizza on the menu at The Rise? Another hard one to choose but if I had to pick one I guess it would be the Patate (Base in bianco, fior di latte, thinly shaved potatoes, rosemary, extra virgin olive oil) Delish! What's the best concert you have been to? I can't choose the best because again there is too many :) but my most memorable would have to be seeing The Eagles (twice).

THREE … warming winter walks

1

Wilson Botanic Park, Berwick There's plenty to see here no matter the season, and always a new favourite spot to discover. Right now many of the paths around the former quarry are carpeted in autumn leaves, making this a colourful and peaceful place to enjoy. Take the kids and see what wildlife you can spot from the bird hide!

2

Royal Botanical Gardens, Cranbourne For a change of scene, drop in to Cranbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens. Specialising in Australian native plants, nature lovers are bound to spot a variety they haven't seen before. The colours of the Australian Garden are a particular highlight, bright against the dull winter skies.

3

Cascades on Clyde Wetlands Wetlands are arguably amongst the most scenic (read: Instagrammable!) places to visit, and the wetlands at Cascades do not disappoint. The path is wide enough to walk, jog or cycle as you take in the picturesque sight of swans, ducks and moorhens gliding across the water. You might even spot the occasional pelican!

Walking milestone The Westfield Walkers celebrated their 15th anniversary this month at the Jamaica Blue Cafe, Westfield Fountain Gate. They all indulged in coffee and cake, as well as merchandise bags from YMCA’s exclusive equipment supplier, Precor. The walking group was founded to inspire members of the Casey community to keep active no matter what age they are. The group consists of almost 40 members, who walk a few laps around Westfield Fountain Gate twice a week to get moving and stay socially connected. Group member Keith Pinney, the eldest male member of the group, expressed that he felt welcomed immediately to the group. “When we joined, we knew that this was for us,” he said. After being a member for nine years, Keith has enjoyed the company of everybody as well as it being something to do as part of their retirement. “The only thing that gets me down a little bit is the real cold mornings in the winter time when you have to get up at about 6am to get here by 7.30am - they are the mornings that you think ‘I’ll stay in bed’, but you don’t as you’d miss the company of the others”, he said. Mamie Pendlebury, a member of the group since it started, walks with the group twice a week as well as doing the Aqua Movers class on a Monday at Casey ARC. “I think it’s important that at our age we keep ourselves fit because there’s a saying - ‘if you don’t use it you lose it’ - and I think that’s very true,” she said. The eldest lady of the group, Patricia Washington, praises the group as she claims that she otherwise wouldn’t get out and about. Patricia has been a member of the group for 13 years. “The company is wonderful and the exercise is great.” There was a general consensus amongst

Fountain Gate Secondary College students have a new home for their science endeavours, with a new state-government funded STEM facility opening. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan visited the college to open its $4.5 million upgrade, which includes a new STEM hub, dubbed 'The Endeavour Centre'. The Centre has been funded out of the state government's $3.8 billion in funding for school upgrades. "We're ensuring local students have the best facilities, our classrooms have the best teachers and every child is given every chance to succeed," said Member for Narre Warren North, Luke Donnellan.

On the surface Casey Council's budget of over $500 million looks impressive,especially when the mayor of Casey, Amanda Stapledon,states it will be used to secure our future by investing in infrastructure to sustain the impact of population growth. But exactly whose future is being secured by Casey Council's 2019-'20 Draft Budget Plan? The biggest winners from this budget plan will be the Casey councillors and staff who go on the overseas junkets that will be funded from the 2019-'20 budget and subsequent budget plans. Approximately $50,000 could be spent on trips to China over the next 12 months with another possible $570,000 to be spent spent in subsequent financial years on more China junkets. This shows that Casey Council is really overcharging residents and ratepayers to generate a surplus of funds for councillors to waste on junkets. Last year The Australian Financial Review printed a story stating that Chinese investment in Australia has collapsed by over $8 billion. This is due to decisions made by officials in Beijing and in Canberra. But it not a really a concern to local gov-

Warm up with council’s Winter Arts Festival

Discharging waste duties Australia's first electric rubbish trucks have made their debut in the streets of Casey. The fleet, from WM Waste Management Services, are part of a new waste contract. The trucks are powered solely by battery power and have a charge of up to five hours before needing to be recharged. One truck has already hit the road with two more to follow in the coming weeks. Casey Council is the first local council in Victoria to put 100 per cent electric hard waste collection trucks into its rubbish collection service. WM Managing Director Mark Jeffs said that it was vital that essential services lead the way in going carbon neutral. "Electric trucks are a key demonstration of our support for renewable energy as they significantly reduce our environmental footprint and improve the sustainability of residential hard waste collection," he said. "The equal winners here are ratepayers in

Casey as the trucks will leave them with cleaner air. "They are much quieter than diesel or petrol vehicles and they will reduce annual fuel and running costs as they require less maintenance and last longer than normal trucks," Mr Jeffs said. "It might mean a few extra minutes of shuteye for residents who are usually woken by the roar of a rubbish truck doing its rounds. "I am proud to bring electric trucks to the streets of Melbourne and I congratulate the City of Casey on this significant commitment," he said. Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said: "this is a terrific breakthrough in technology that will mean locals have a more sustainable hard waste collection with less noise, making their streets more liveable." Each electric truckload of waste is expected to save about 180kg of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Ashleigh Nicolas in a traditional Mauritius dance costume last year. it's an art and craft workshop, a choir performance or a local artist's exhibition." A highlight of the festival is the Open Studios weekend, which will take place on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 August. The Open Studios weekend will see artists throughout Casey and Cardinia open their doors to give people a unique peak behind the easel. A bus tour will run on Saturday 10 August from 11.30am until 4pm and depart from Bunjil Place.

New electric waste trucks in support of renewable energy have been rolled out in Casey.

City of Casey's Winter Arts Festival (WAF) is returning for its 17th year and Council hosting a bumper series of events and activities. This year's impressive program will launch on Saturday 1 June with the installation of 'Intrude' at Bunjil Place - a number of larger than life, illuminated bunny rabbits, whose gentle appearance take on a sinister undertone due to their sheer size. Head down to Bunjil Place between 5.30pm and 7.30pm on Saturday evening to check out the rabbits, take part in interactive workshops including 'blinging your beanie', and enjoy free soup and hot chocolate if you bring along your own reusable cup. This event will kick off an exciting three months ahead, with the WAF to run throughout June, July and August. As part of the festival, Council will celebrate National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) week through a number of sessions over one week in July. In addition to this, art exhibitions, musical and dance performances, an Open Studios weekend, workshops and school holiday fun are just a few of the other events that make up the WAF program. Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said council was proud to deliver such an exciting lineup of events and activities. "The annual festival is the biggest celebration of arts in Casey and gives both budding and experienced artists a chance to demonstrate their talents," she said. "The WAF includes three jam-packed months of events and entertainment and there's something in there to suit everyone. "I applaud our local artists and entertainers who participate in the festival, and strongly encourage you all to check out the program and find something that suits you, whether

School hosts China party By Brendan Rees A child reading a book about the Hawthorn Hawks Football Club book has captured the attention of an overseas guest at Brentwood Park Primary School. The guests consisted of 22 Chinese principal delegates from Xuzhou City in the Jiangsu Province who visited the Berwick school to learn more about the student programs on Tuesday 14 May. Children joined the delegates in showcasing their school-based curriculum development, including readings about Aussie Rules football. "Our request to host came from the Interna-

tional Education Division of the Department of Education and Training who firmly believed that a visitation to Brentwood Park would be a positive experience for all involved," teacher Melissa Butcher said. She added language did not prove to be a barrier as an interpreter from Melbourne University was in attendance, as well as their own staff member, Daisy He. The students also organised a presentation about the school's teaching Chinese language and culture program."Feedback from the participants was extremely positive and gratitude was conveyed with the presentation of thank you gifts," Ms Butcher said.

Desperate gift appeal By Brendan Rees A Narre Warren grandmother who purchased a gift for her daughter whose home burned down - has pleaded for its return after it was left behind at Fountain Gate. Pam said the gift; an electric blanket which she had bought at Harris Scarfe was accidentally left behind near a bench outside Coles about 11.20am on Tuesday 7 May. She said while she was shopping in Coles, her husband sat on a bench with the boxed blanket, worth $80, as well as a fold-up trolley containing shopping bags. "I went quickly into Coles and did some shopping, come out, and while I was in Coles there was a spare big trolley," she said. Pam says they put all the bags and the foldup trolley into the Coles trolley but "completely forgot about the blanket." "The three bags took up the whole of the trolley," she added. The pensioner said they walked off and got a taxi home about 11.50am. It wasn't until a couple of hours later she "realised what had happened." "It didn't event twig that I didn't have the blanket," she said.

"I feel silly for doing that because I'm pretty on the ball." Pam, who asked not to publish her surname, said the electric blanket was intended as a gift for her daughter who "lost everything" after her home burned down following a fire last November. It's believed the fire started from a faulty electric blanket. She called centre management, who told her they would contact security and look at the CCTV cameras. "They didn't get back to me," she said. "Even if they saw someone they're not going to recognise them. "It's sad. I was trying to do a good thing for my daughter," Pam added. Pam said she thought someone may have picked the box up and brought it back "but obviously they didn't." "I wonder if someone was watching us, I don't know." Pam says she didn't report the incident to police and ended up buying her daughter another electric blanket. Anyone with information is urged to contact Fountain Gate shopping centre on 9704 6666.

Bright start for Doveton’s family hub Doveton’s spectacular new community hub opened to fanfare and sunshine at a celebration on Saturday 25 May. The $5.27 million Autumn Place Community Hub includes a redeveloped four-year-olds kindergarten with outdoor play spaces, two maternal and child health consulting rooms and a multi-purpose room, kitchen and courtyard. It also includes an improved outdoors park, playground and barbecue area. The celebrations on 25 May included free family activities, a sausage sizzle, face painting and a mobile animal farm. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams, who opened the hub, said it would help local families “meaningfully connect”. It was critical for the development of young children, she said. “It will be an important hub for inclusion and community engagement as well as the sharing of knowledge and ideas, fostering new connections.” Local Government Minister Adem Somyurek, whose government had contributed $3.6 million, said “we’re getting on with delivering the facilities our growing communities need”. Casey Council funded the remaining $1.67 million for the project. Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said the integrated community hub in the “heart of Doveton” was a place for residents to “meet, learn, play, socialise and connect”. Councillors Wayne Smith and Damien Rosario encouraged the local community to join the celebrations.

The projects include Chalcot Lodge Childrens Centre and the Casey cycling precinct.

STEM skills on display By Brendan Rees Friends and family came together at Hampton Park Primary School where students hosted a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) open day to showcase their learning. There were smiles all round with students who provided their guests a tour of their classroom facilities and learning programs on Wednesday 22 May. School principal Liz Davey said the day formed part of Education Week, and was great opportunity for children to enjoy some handson activities with loved ones. "Our many visitors took part in the maths challenges, STEM activities and science experiments," she said. "The interactive robotics and Physical Education displays were very popular. "Families and friends were able to gain an insight into their children's learning and more importantly the students enjoyed sharing their learning with them."

Femmes of five ages By Cam Lucadou-Wells The birth of identical twins Lyla and Zoey has added an amazing fifth generation of females to a close-knit clan in the South East. Preceding them are their mother Casey Jarrett, of Cranbourne, their grandmother Laurel Harraghy, of Hampton Park, and great-grandmother Wendy Lynch and great-great-grandmother Frieda Movric, both of Doveton. Each member of this "strong-minded" family have grown up in the South-East, says a proud Ms Lynch, who cares for Ms Movric at home. Of course, each of them love the new-born twins. Often being dressed in the same clothes, the girls are hard to tell apart, Ms Lynch said. "They're good babies, they sleep well and they're always together. "You see them looking at each other all the time. "They had baby photos done and every-

one thinks they're dolls - that they're not real. They're just so gorgeous." When Ms Lynch grew up in Doveton, she was the only girl among five brothers. In contrast to now, her Austrian-born mother and Croatian-born father Ivan Movric arrived in Australia, bringing no family with them at all. Her late dad had been a "freedom fighter" in Croatia. During the civil conflict, his brother and father were taken away and never seen again. He fled to Austria, where he met his future bride Ms Movric. When they arrived they travelled widely, following work opportunities. Their children were born in Dandenong, Kooweerup and Mt Gambier. When Ivan landed work at the Nissan factory in Dandenong, they settled in Doveton. Ms Movric has lived at the same address for the past 50 years.

‘Beautiful mum’ inspires Biggest Morning Tea By Danielle Kutchel In memory of their "beautiful mum" Elizabeth Annie Brooks, Jannette Brooks and Colleen Astbury decided to do something special. Together, they hosted the Woodlands Park Retirement Village Biggest Morning Tea last Thursday 23 May, inviting residents, family and friends to share in the fun, love and laughter. Ms Astbury says they set out by getting as many donations as possible for their special day. "We ended up with 28 assorted vouchers, 25 hampers, a meat tray and 2 fruit trays, and also many food parcels, including 20 jars of home-

made kumquat jam," she said. The community pulled together to help put on the morning tea, with contributions coming from "local and afar", Ms Astbury said. She thanked Phill from Parkhill Bakery, Mr Donut and Brumby's at Eden Rise for their help, and Greg Swinton from Woodlands Park for providing a venue. Special mention was made of the homemade sponge cakes contributed by Lyn Fields, as well as other delights by Mathew Astbury, and Trisha Clarke for her computer work. "A big shout out to all the lovely ladies who helped on the day, serving coffees and generally helping," Ms Astbury added. On the day, a number of people shared their

stories of having been touched by cancer, including oncology nurse Monica from St John of God Hospital in Berwick, who told guests about the support patients receive from the oncology centre. Elaine Tandy shared a poem about cancer, and Hugh Moore also bravely told his story. Raffles and auctions helped guests to "laugh the time away" as they enjoyed a cuppa and a treat. And in a nod to the event's official slogan, every cup did indeed count - a whopping $3137.30 was raised for the Cancer Council to continue its fight to beat the deadly disease.

FOCUS ON … FAMILY BUSINESSES

Lots more fins at new site By Danielle Kutchel A new location signals an exciting future for iconic family business, Lots of Fins. Owner Paul Furlong, who has 30 years' experience in fish keeping, said the move was necessary to cater for their clients. "We just found we've been so popular, the premise was too small. We wanted to expand to offer a bigger range of aquariums and fish supplies." Now located at the top of Victor Crescent, Lots of Fins offers a range of products, from small tanks ideal for families and children, through to bigger aquariums for enthusiasts. Paul said the shop offers many breeds of rare fish and underwater plants. "Without a shadow of a doubt, we have the biggest range of fish in Melbourne - over 300 species. We have a big range of aquatic live plants including lots of rare and unusual things." There are over 20 display tanks for customers to marvel at while they make their decisions. Paul runs the business with his wife and children, and in fact first got into the business when his boys got into the hobby as it allowed him to do a project with his family. After losing the business in a fire 15 years ago and being out of the business for 12, Paul said he re-established Lots of Fins three years ago in order to pour all his profits into his family's charity, Revive the Kids. The charity rescues orphans and slaves from around the world. Paul travels to various countries around the world for this purpose. "I've set free about 3000 people from slavery, and rescued about 500 orphans in places like Africa, the Philippines, Nepal, India and Burma.

Paul Furlong and his son Caleb. "I stand alone and travel alone so that all the funds and profits can go 100 per cent to achieve what I'm doing and I'm not wasting any money," he said. Meanwhile, people from all over Victoria and even interstate travel to Narre Warren to

see Lots of Fins, drawn, Paul said, by its reputation, experience and the quality of its products. "To come and visit is an experience in itself, and every person is amazed when they come into the shop. It's an enjoyment just to browse," he said.

Visit Lots of Fins at 96 Victor Crescent, Narre Warren. The store is open 7 days a week, 10am to 6pm and 9pm on Fridays. Find out more at www.lotsoffinsaquarium.com.au, and learn more about Paul's charity, Revive the Kids at www.revivethekids.com.au.

FOCUS ON … FAMILY BUSINESSES

Cozy future Cozy Furniture is on the move and customers can take advantage of a massive relocation sale. The popular Narre Warren business is relocating on 1 July to 7 Technology Circuit, Hallam. Zaman Fazil and his son Yaser have owned and managed Cozy Indoor Outdoor Furniture for 10 years. The Fazils are passionate about helping customers create comfortable and cosy living spaces in their homes, both indoors and out. “As a family run and operated business, we believe in the importance of a cosy home environment and take delight in providing the very best service to our customers,“ said Zaman. Cozy Furniture used to be The Outdoor Furniture Specialists. Zaman and Yaser rebranded and expanded the store’s range and now stock both indoor and outdoor furniture as well as giftware and accessories. An accountant, Zaman has always been self-employed.

Zaman Fazil and his son Yaser are moving their popular furniture business to Hallam.

“Not many shops have a large range of outdoor furniture and we believed we could bring value to customers as they can visit one shop and have a large range to choose from,“ Zaman explained. Yaser has a sales and marketing degree and worked for Coles and a high end rug business before joining his father in the furniture business. “At Cozy Furniture we pride ourselves on offering top quality products, exclusive designs and exeptional customer service as well as outstanding after sales service,“ said Yaser. Zaman and Yaser say the new store in Hallam will open up exciting opportunities for the thriving business. In the lead up to 1 July, customers can enjoy up to 50 per cent off in the Cozy Furniture relocation sale*. Phone 8794 9111 or call into the store at the Casey Lifestyle Centre. *Until stock lasts.

Centre run on love for Kool Kidz and their families Maria Dimoulas and Janette Karavatis are the mother and daughter team behind Kool Kidz Narre Warren. Both women love children and in February they realised a long held a dream to open their own childcare centre. “We are a family run business, looking after your family,“ said Janette. Maria has a degree in early childhood education and a post graduate qualification in teaching children with special needs. She has extensive experience as a kindergarten teacher working at numerous childcare centres over 15 years.

Janette has also worked in childcare for more than a decade. The light, bright centre was completely refurbished before the doors opened to new families in February. Staff work with children across seven class rooms - two baby rooms, three toddler rooms and two kinder rooms. All the rooms have access to spacious outdoor areas and there are dedicated sleep areas and a separate kitchen. A feature of the centre is the earth room where children have lunch along with incursions and special learning experiences. Janette and Maria looked at various childcare models before settling on Kool Kidz.

“The standards are so high in terms of the curriculum and the support we receive from the franchise,“ Janette explained. Kool Kidz Narre Warren has capacity for 130 children and offers the Kool Beginnings Curriculum as well as a Little Sports Heroes program. Janette and Maria also hope to introduce a music and a language program in coming terms. Kool Kidz Narre Warren caters for children from 6 weeks to six years. It is open week days from 6.30am to 6.30pm at 17 Cranbourne Road, Narre Warren. Phone 9705 1532.

NARRE WARREN

The Ciavarella family has long been associated with good food and friendly, hospitable service in the two decades they have been in business in Narre Warren North. Patriarch Marco, wife Annette and son Anthony own and operate Marco’s IGA. Another son, Charlie, operates the town’s post office and newsagency. And two weeks ago Anthony, his brother-inlaw Claudio and their wives, Bianca and Sara, launched The Rise cafe and pizzeria. The cafe/pizzeria occupies the former bakery, next to IGA, which closed earlier this year. Marco said the decision to close the popular bakery, which was run by daughter Rosa, was a difficult but necessary one. Not wanting to leave the town with an empty shop, the Ciavarellas and their business partners decided to take a leap of faith with a mixed cafe/pizzeria. So far that decision has been vindicated by strong demand for the pastries, cakes, sandwiches and all day breakfast and coffee served at The Rise. The cafe/pizzeria is also open from Thursday to Saturday night for dinner offering authentic Italian-style pizza and pasta. Since opening each night has been booked solid. “It was difficult to close down the bakery, but we have tried to make sure that customers can still get everything they used to enjoy at the bakery at either IGA or The Rise,“ Marco explained. “The same bread is now baked in-store at IGA and the pies, made to the same recipe as those that were available at the bakery, are

now available hot in IGA. “The Rise serves pastries, cakes and sandwiches just like the bakery did.“ To expand IGA’s range of fresh bread, Marco now employs two bakers and has invested in a new oven and proover. “It really is business as usual, “Marco said. “We encourage customers of the old bakery to try the pies and bread on offer in IGA and enjoy a cake or pastry with a cup of coffee at The Rise. “Now customers have the added option of pizza or pasta, which they can eat in or takeaway, three nights a week as well.“ Marco began his retail career at Coles when he was 15. His first foray into small business was when he bought a Tattslotto outlet and newsagency in Narre Warren in 1980. Marco and Annette ran the old general store in Narre Warren North for 10 years before transforming it into Marco’s IGA a decade ago. Marco is a business mentor to his children, guiding and encouraging them in their own enterprises. At the end of the day, Marco says business success comes down to fresh produce, friendly service and hard work. “At IGA we are competitive price wise and offer the same specials as big boys. However, I believe what we offer is a lot fresher, certainly in terms of the deli and our fruit and vegetables, and all our meat is cut on-site by a butcher. “As the area has grown so have our businesses.“

CARING & FAMILY FRIENDLY Kool Kidz Narre Warren is a purpose-built Early Learning, Childcare and Kindergarten facility that provides a safe, fun and exciting environment to explore, learn and grow in for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.

The Sheedys are a family driven by success. The family, which owns and operates Autobarn Narre Warren, has a long and proud history in the automotive industry. In fact, the family connection goes right back to before Autobarn existed. In March 1977,Graeme Sheedy opened his own automotive parts store, known as Warragul Auto Accessories. In August 1985, Graeme and 9 other like-minded automotive retailers came together and decided to create a buying and marketing group, this was the beginning of the Autobarn. Graeme’s son, Gavin, started working alongside his father at Autobarn Warragul in 1990 and continued to do so until Graeme sold the business in 1993. However, Gavin wasn’t done, moving into a role with Autobarn head office. Gavin then spent 6 years travelling Australia setting up new franchise stores. Gavin met his wife, Nicole, while setting up a country store. They married in 1999 and Gavin decided to transfer from his head office role to the newly established Narre Warren store later that year. Since then the award winning store has gone from strength to strength and continues to be a leader within the Autobarn group. In 2004 Gavin and Nicole welcomed their daughter Ashley and became owners of the Narre Warren store in 2005. Ashley joined the team two years ago, while son Joshua also spent his childhood visting the store and helping out. Gavin attributes much of his success to what he learnt from his parents and his time in the shop when he was younger. He believes that no matter what Ashley and Joshua choose

The Cavs show their class By Hayley Wildes It was a busy weekend of Big V basketball action for the Casey Cavaliers, with the Championship men continuing on their winning ways with a brutal beat down of Chelsea at home on Saturday night. The Cavs were a class above the Gulls as Raheem Lemons (22 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists) made his presence known from the opening tip with another tremendous performance, while Brent Hobba (20 points and 5 rebounds) connected on 5/8 triples. Casey eventually ran out 23-point winners, 92-69. Having won four in a row, the Cavs remain second on the ladder with an 11-2 record. Earlier in the evening, the Championship women's struggles continued as they couldn't contain Werribee's hot shooting. Sarah Halejian (27 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals) and Tanarly Hood (18 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals) did all they could to keep Casey in the contest, but it wasn't enough as the Devils ran out 81-72 winners. The Cavs slump to 4-6 on the season and sit

seventh on the ladder. Kickstarting the triple-header at Casey Stadium on Saturday night were the Youth League 1 men, who suffered a close, hard-fought loss to Frankston. Casey held a lead at the final break, but Frankston came storming home in the fourth to come away with a 76-70 win. Luke Beard (16 points) top-scored for the Cavs, while Brendon Head (14 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists) did it all in a strong outing. The Cavs find themselves in a form slump, having won just two of their last five games, but still sit third on the ladder with a 9-4 record. The Youth League 1 women have been in tremendous form all season, and despite having moved up a division, have already proven themselves as a championship threat. In two games over the weekend, the Cavs made light work of Warrandyte on the road on Saturday night, before backing up at home on Sunday against Camberwell. Lauren Tuplin was simply unstoppable as she took over the game with 30 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, while Steph

Leclerc (9 assists, 8 points, 7 rebounds, 5 steals and 2 blocks) was at her defensive best. The Cavs took care of the Venom by 18 points, 88-70. The next day, Casey had a tight battle with Camberwell but got the job done in a lowscoring slog, 61-52. Kim Shankland (13 points and 7 rebounds) led the way for the Cavs, while Bec Peacock (10 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals) and Leclerc (8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 steals) did a bit of everything in the win. With seven wins on the trot, Casey sits on top of the ladder with a 10-2 record. Round 11 Big V action includes a Saturday night double-header at Casey Stadium which tips off at 6pm with both Youth League teams battling it out. Also on Saturday night, the Championship women head to Whittlesea to face the Pacers. The Championship men return to action on Sunday on the road against Hawthorn, while the Youth League 1 men take on Warrandyte.

Tanarly Hood tried her best to keep the Championship women afloat against Werribee, but it wasn't enough. 193936 Picture: ROB CAREW

Creating a better pathway for their junior netballers By Nick Creely Building a pathway from junior netball to senior netball is of the utmost importance to the Cranbourne Football Netball Club. That's why they're willing to do what it takes to continue building the club's juniors, an important ingredient of a healthy local sporting club with an eye for longevity and success. The Eagles are looking to start up competition in the Casey Netball Association as part of the football and netball club - played throughout the week - in order to facilitate this pathway, and hopefully bring about more interest in playing on the weekends in AFL Outer East. As one of the most powerful clubs anywhere in the south east, netball has always been a strong part of the fabric of the club. At this stage, the Eagles have two 13 and under sides playing on Wednesday evenings, but they want to build on this, and encourage young netballers to give it a go. One of Cranbourne's Wednesday coordinators, Natalie Dickson said that the importance

of creating a better pathway to senior netball can't be underestimated. "It's very important, all the clubs felt a bit of a decline junior wise because of the change of league," she said. "I think parents, especially the younger parents, don't understand much about it, so they stayed away a little bit this year because of the travelling. "(But) we want to put our footy league teams there to start them on their pathway. "We've got a couple of teams already, but we want to start building that there and have more teams that then come and play for us in the Outer East to build towards senior netball." The Eagles - who are hoping to get a mixture of Under 11s, 13s and 15s playing at the Casey Indoor Stadium throughout the week will have registration tables on Saturday 1 June from 8.30am onwards, and then on Monday (3 June) and Wednesday (5 June) at the Casey Indoor Stadium from 4pm onwards.

These Saints are on the march away from the DDCA St Brigid's/St Louis Cricket Club has officially departed the Dandenong District Cricket Association (DDCA), joining the ever-growing Cricket Southern Bayside competition in a bid to help grow the club into the future. The Saints - who participated in Turf 2 last season and stunned all in their wake to claim their first DDCA Twenty20 title - are the second club to have left the DDCA this off-season, after powerhouse local club Mordialloc also opted to join Southern Bayside. Saints president Noel Fitzgibbon said that the decision was in the best interests for the club moving forward, and hopes to forge new rivalries locally. "We wanted a new direction, and wanted to take the club locally, and we'll benefit with

more juniors coming through and playing," he said. "We'll get more sponsors for the club, so not only will we get more juniors and players coming through, it'll be beneficial for our sponsors as well. "It'll certainly help rekindle a few rivalries from the past, playing the Aspendales and Mentones of the world." While starting to develop into a strong club in the DDCA after claiming a stunning Twenty20 premiership, Fitzgibbon said that despite some recent success, the Saints' move had been spoken about for a long while now. "We've been talking to Southern Bayside for more than a year now, and as a committee, you need to explore all avenues and what's beneficial for the club," he said.

"It (the Twenty20 premiership) was a great icing on the cake for our time in the DDCA." And while moving away from the DDCA, Fitzgibbon said the club's long-running association with the competition will be looked on with great positivity and pride. But they simply couldn't sustain themselves long-term in their situation. "The DDCA is a very professionally-run competition, and I've said that in the past, it's more the location, and travelling out to the City of Dandenong, Casey, the Berwicks and Beaconsfields of the world, it's just too far for these kids coming through the lower grades," he said. "We're very proud (of the time in the DDCA) - the club continues to grow. We've got 13 junior sides and they are starting to filter

through to the senior grades. "We were probably on the cusp of jumping up a grade or getting better because of the youth coming through. The DDCA's been great for us, and we're happy with our time there, but we've been listening to our members, and they've sort of indicated that they preferred to play locally." With the Saints' departure from the DDCA, the make-up of the Turf 1 and 2 grades will now need to potentially be re-jigged, with the potential for St Mary's going to Turf 2 and Mordialloc leaving the competition paving the way for Narre South and Narre North to go into Turf 1, while the Saints' departure could see Dandenong West stay in Turf 2, with Lyndale set to jump up from Turf 3. 12419503-SN23-19

Midfielders run rampant By Nick Creely

Narre Warren star Brad Scalzo laid this tackle on Saturday. 193860 In attack, the Magpies had a ruthless edge, with Cox slamming on another three for the term, while the class and strength of Michael Collins (three goals) and Daniel Jackson (three goals) came to the fore, with Collins slotting an absolute beauty on the run deep in the pocket. To the Dogs' credit, they fought hard to keep the final margin under 100 points, but once again, the Magpies showcased their blistering speed and ability to pile on massive scores. Narre Warren coach Matt Shinners said it was pleasing to have overcome a sluggish start to continue on their winning form. "The first half of footy wasn't one of our best, and they certainly took it up to us and

OUTER EAST FOOTBALL PREMIER AND DIVISION 1 REVIEW ROUND 5 It was a midfield masterclass. The Narre Warren engine room sliced and diced its way through Wandin with precision at home on Saturday, inflicting the Dogs with another heavy loss on the vast south-east grounds. Looking at the raw numbers, the Magpies had 11 individual goal kickers, including five with multiple majors, in their 22.14 (146) to 8.7 (55) victory in the AFL Outer East Premier Division. But this was a win set-up by more than just what happened in the front-half - it was about their ball movement and ability to use the width of Kalora Park to their advantage. The Dogs were the first on the board after a superb set-up from young gun Patrick Bruzzese, before a couple of quick goals - one after a lovely launch from Brad Scalzo - saw the home side steady and take a 10 point advantage at quarter time. Skipper Dylan Quirk - in the midst of a brilliant season - gave the first sign that the game was shifting towards the home side - with a strong grab and goal in the opening minutes of the second quarter, but a freakish effort from Justin Van Unen got the Dogs back into the contest. Isolated deep inside 50, Van Unen kicked a miracle goal out of mid-air in the middle of a marking contest, with many Magpies needing a few seconds to actually register that it was in fact a goal. But from there, it was simply domination, with the Magpies looking irresistible with ball in hand, skipping away with a dominant third term, running the Dogs off their feet with razor-sharp foot skills and great transition off half-back.

made us work for it (the win)," he said. "It was one of things, they had a few back, but still some missing we understand, and they put pressure on my young group, and you'll have ebbs and flows." The midfield group, consisting of Brad Scalzo, Trent Cody, Dylan Quirk and Nathan Foote - as well as great run and carry from Josh Tonna and Ryan Quirk - were in vintage form, dominating the clearances and also spreading hard on the outside to completely flatten the visitors in the end. "They've (the midfield group) been really good, pretty much week in, week out since the season started, and we did get dominated in there last year, but more so with Berwick, but the boys have worked really well and are gelling," he said. "I sort of leave it up to them coming up with some moves and strategies, and the key is winning the ball out of the middle. "Bailey Delves has been doing a terrific job in the ruck, and sometimes he's getting dominated in the air, but our on-ballers have been up to the challenge and clear the ball out." Generating 22 goals and 36 scoring shots was another pleasing aspect of the Magpies' win, with returning VFL-listed forward Mitch Cox returning to local footy with plenty of vigour after an injury, snaring six goals and proving a nuisance both in the air and on the ground. Down at Edwin Flack Reserve, it was another bag of goals to Harry Money, and another four points to Berwick after a 99-point victory against Woori Yallock on Saturday. The champion Wickers side inflicted the Tigers to their first loss of the AFL Outer East Premier Division season, in another impressive four-quarter performance, 20.17 (137) to 6.2 (38). On a day where nasty weather also seemed to be looming large, the destructive Money was the man once again, slotting eight majors to take his tally to 25 from the first five matches. Money was well supported by Andrew Morozoff, Jonte Andrew, James McLean and Tim Gunn, who all snared two majors, while defender Will Arthurson snuck down to also pick up a couple of goals. Beaconsfield, meanwhile, snared an incredibly important win on the road, knocking off Upwey Tecoma in a dominant second-half showing, 19.13 (127) to 7.13 (55). The Eagles - despite actually starting the season in relatively solid form despite entering with a 1-3 record - simply needed to come away with the win. And they did. Eagles coach Leigh McQuillen acknowledged that it was a massive game for his footy club, who - if falling to a 1-4 record - would be playing catch up for the rest of the year. "We knew we'd been playing well and losing three games to the former SEFNL clubs by a total of five goals spoke volumes about the fact we could've easily had a better record that 1-3," he said. "Coming back from 1-4 would've made it a longer road."

The Eagles skipped away eventually after an entertaining first-term which saw ninegoals and a narrow four point lead to the visitors, kicking 14 goals to three after quarter time to bank some important percentage and confidence, all without champion ruckman Scott Meyer. McQuillen said it was a credit to the group's maturity that they were able to adapt within games, and said that they prepared meticulously for the challenge of playing on the smaller ground. "The group has matured so much and after the past two seasons of playing under a drastically changed game plan and we're seeing the benefits now with this group having a thorough understanding of what we do with the ball in hand and where we need to be without the ball to support team structure," he said. "We trained all week on our back oval reducing the boundaries to the exact dimensions of Upwey's ground. "Our drills we're all in tight and our defence was adjusted to cater for the dimensions. We selected a side that featured more inside players. "Early in the game we focused on quick hands and gaining territory via run and carry, knowing that one kick can place you in scoring territory. "We knew we had a lot of creative forwards and that at the drop of the ball we would be extremely dangerous." In the remaining matches, Cranbourne inflicted Healesville with a heavy 24.19 (163) to 7.4 (46) loss, to continue their impress goal scoring form in recent weeks. There was danger signs early as the Eagles had 14 scoring shots to just one at quarter time, opening up a 38 point lead to flatten the Bloods. Although the home side fought back with four goals to six in the second half, Steve O'Brien's side found another gear to slam on 12 goals to two in the second half. In Division 1, it was some sort of performance from Monbulk star Shane Williams on Saturday. Coming back from a recent injury, the star Hawk put in one of the individual performances of the season, slotting 10 goals in an effort that saw Pakenham slump to its first loss of the Division 1 season, 14.15 (99) to 7.6 (48). In modern day footy, it's a sublime effort, and a reminder of his capabilities regardless of what position he's playing in. And it now means the Hawks are the only undefeated side of the competition, a feat not lost on coach Andrew Williams, who said that his side was building nicely ahead of many challenges ahead, and was looking forward to continue developing its brand. "Obviously coming into the season, there was an unknown of where sides were going to match up, and I think the results are starting to prove any team can beat anyone on any given day," he told the News. "It is a very pleasing start to the year, but we've certainly got our biggest challenges ahead of us." With Williams completely dominating the game with five majors in each half, his coach said that it was one of the finest performances he's seen in local football, praising his star sharpshooter - who now has 15 goals for the season - for his flexibility in the lineup and ability to play the role required to help his team. "We were pretty happy to have him back in the team, he obviously missed the Emerald game with injury, and he was still not 100 per cent (this weekend), but he was able to give us that contest in the forward line," he said. "It's just the way he competes that's impressive, he hits up the footy really well and his hands are really clean. "From our end, I couldn't speak highly enough about him." In the remaining matches across Division 1, Officer made it two on trot and surged into fifth position with an in the end comfortable win against Belgrave, 14.11 (95) to 8.12 (60). Mount Evelyn enjoyed a strong weekend at home, knocking off Doveton by 41 points, 15.13 (103) to 8.14 (62), while Emerald picked up their first win of the season, defeating Warburton Millgrove by 98 points in a terrific performance at home, 18.18 (126) to 4.4 (28).

Marc halts the Panthers By Hayley Wildes MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN DIVISION 2 - ROUND 7 Former Cranbourne superstar forward Marc Holt was absolutely unstoppable against Pearcedale on Saturday as Karingal made light work of the Panthers. With Holt on fire and enjoying great delivery into the forward 50, he kicked nine goals in a dominant display as the Bulls defeated the Panthers by 85 points, 18.15 (123) to 5.8 (38). Max Gearon and Mitch Lindsay were best in a tough day at the office for Pearcedale. Devon Meadows slumped to another loss as they were no match for Chelsea at Glover Reserve. The Panthers simply couldn't get the score on the board to trouble the Seagulls at any point throughout the day as Chelsea ran out 49-point winners, 14.14 (98) to 7.7 (49). Lochlan Burke and Patrick Boland battled hard all day for Devon Meadows. SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 7 Keysborough absolutely obliterated Chelsea Heights at home. The forward line duo of Matthew Carnelley and Chris Bryan (five goals each) created havoc all day, while the likes of Tamas Siposs and Bryce Sutton were impressive in the Burras' 100-point win, 20.13 (133) to 5.3 (33). After seven rounds, the Burras have six wins and no losses to their name. The Doveton Eagles put forth a disappointing display against Murrumbeena. With Murrumbeena leading by one-point at the main break, the second half was set up to be a stirring contest, but the Eagles were no match down the stretch. Doveton scored just two majors after half time, while Murrumbeena slammed on 10

goals of its own to claim a comprehensive win, 19.12 (126) to 11.9 (75). Piva Wright (four goals) battled hard all day for the Eagles, while Cameron Carmody and Cory Wilson tried their best in a tough second half. Doveton owns a 5-2 record and sit fourth on the ladder. DIVISION 3 - ROUND 7 In the Division 3 match of the round, Hampton Park sent a message to the rest of the competition with a comprehensive win over Endeavour Hills. The Redbacks entered the round with no losses, while the Falcons had just one to their name, but Hampton Park flexed its muscle with a great team performance to come away with a 45-point win, 13.15 (93) to 7.6 (48). Cory Phillips and Luke Behin were in fine form for the Redbacks, while the pairing of Cameron Williamson and Travis Davis (three goals each) was dangerous. For the Falcons, Ben Holland and Ben Carter were best in a disappointing day. DIVISION 4 - ROUND 7 Lyndale was in control for the first three quarters in their game against Carrum Patterson Lakes, but a fourth quarter fade-out cost them the game. With Trent Day (four goals), Anthony Koutsoubos and Max Little playing dynamic games, the Pumas led by 20 points at the final break, but when the Lions went up a gear in the fourth, the Pumas couldn't respond. A four-goal to one fourth quarter saw Carrum Patterson Lakes pull off a famous comeback victory, 9.15 (69) to 9.13 (67). Hallam fell behind early against Frankston and never recovered as the Dolphins dominated from start to finish in their contest. Despite the best efforts of Hallam's Dean Webb and Dylan Thompson, a five-goal haul from Jarrod Sullivan saw Frankston record a big win, 14.17 (101) to 7.12 (54).

Karingal's Marc Holt let the Pearcedale crowd know who was in control on Saturday. 193858 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS VFLW ROUND 3 The Casey Demons started slowly against Williamstown, but kicked into gear after quarter time to come away with a comfortable road win. The Demons went scoreless in the first term, but kicked seven of the last eight goals of the game, while keeping the Seagulls scoreless after half time to cruise to a 7.6 (48) to 2.1 (13) win. Gippsland Power product Tyla Hanks starred for the Demons, while Chantel Emonson and Tayla Tatterson (two goals) were also impressive. The Demons are undefeated after

three rounds and sit on top of the ladder. WEST GIPPSLAND ROUND 7 Tooradin-Dalmore continues to power along in the West Gippsland Football Netball Competition, this week taking care of InverlochKongwak at home. The Gulls, who now sit third with a 6-2 record, led by 24 points at the first break but were made to work for their win by the Sea Eagles. Eventually, Tooradin-Dalmore got the job done,16.10 (106) to 14.4 (88), with Lewis Hill (three goals) best afield, and Michael Hobbs (two goals) and Andrew Proctor playing key roles across the ground.
