Crossing to go By Brendan Rees

The State Government says the new design at the Clyde Road level crossing will ease congestion. moval Authority, including rail under road and station upgrade options, but all of these have been ignored. "Berwick is a premium station, requires upgrading and must be brought into the scope of the crossing removal project," she said. Cr Stapledon added: "Despite little engagement and virtually no feedback being listened to thus far, Council will persist in engaging with advocating for an outcome that delivers maximum benefit to the community." The government says other designs would have impacted commuters by shutting the Pakenham line between Pakenham and Dandenong for up to two months. Meanwhile along the Pakenham line, the removal of the congested level crossing at Cardinia Road will begin later this year.

The State Government has announced it will do away with the Clyde Road level crossing in Berwick by constructing a road underpass with works to begin next year. But the design has fallen short of Casey Council's hopes for a 'rail under road' level crossing and the delivery of a new railway station - all of which "have been ignored." The government says detailed engineering assessments and site investigations identified a road underpass as the best design. The level crossing will be gone by 2022. "Removing the dangerous and congested Clyde Road level crossing will mean less congestion for the 22,000 vehicles who use the crossing every day with minimal disruption for locals," Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan said. A road underpass also means Berwick Station won't need to be knocked down, as the government believes this would cause further disruption for passengers, and allow the Commonwealth Government to deliver its commuter car parking and road upgrade commitments. Other designs would take up to a year longer to complete, and require compulsory acquisition of private properties and significant underground service relocation, including the Longford gas main. However Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said although the level crossing removal was welcomed, the road underpass solution would result in "suboptimal outcomes" for the community. Cr Stapledon says it will prevent the area's prospect of being a "vibrant and successful" health and education precinct, as envisaged in Plan Melbourne. "The existing rail corridor creates a barrier to economic growth and investment, with impaired connections and poor amenity and this solution entrenches those constraints," Cr Stapledon said. "Council recommended three futureproofed solutions to the Level Crossing Re-

Brawls break out at Berwick school By Jessica Anstice A second violent incident where the vice principal was forced to restrain a student took place at Berwick College on Tuesday. This follows on from last week's mass brawl which broke out between 20 students and forced the school into lockdown. The Department of Education confirmed Tuesday's incident saw a student display aggressive and threatening behaviour on school grounds at about 2.40pm. It is believed the student broke windows while students took shelter in an office. It's understood police were called to the Manuka Road campus following reports of a verbal altercation. Police were also called the school on Tuesday 20 August to arrest three boys aged between 14 and 16 years old in relation to the mass brawl.

A member of the staff was assaulted and received minor injuries as they attempted to break up the fight. A 17-year-old boy was taken to hospital with minor injuries but has since been discharged. The staff member injured is believed to have been a deputy principal who was allegedly rammed into a wall and punched in the stomach by a year eight student, as reported by the Herald Sun. The nature of this particular brawl is yet to be confirmed, with the Department of Education yet to answer our questions about the motive of the fight and whether it involved students who were currently suspended or expelled. It's also not known whether this fight is linked to another alleged "violent incident" occurring at the same school last week. Berwick College principal Kerri Bolch con-

firmed an altercation between students took place on Tuesday and prompted the school to enact their lockdown procedure. "We do not tolerate this type of behaviour at our school and it does not reflect the values of the overwhelming majority of our students," Ms Bolch said. "This matter has been reported to Victoria Police and we will assist them with their inquiries. "We will investigate this matter thoroughly and take any appropriate action." Footage has surfaced on social media which shows a number of students being forced to hide under their desks as the brawl took place. The three boys arrested in relation to the brawl have all been released pending summons. The investigation remains ongoing.

Races called off after Calls mount to fix dangerous intersection vandal attack By Brendan Rees

Residents are calling for an urgent fix to a busy intersection in Cranbourne North where they fear someone will be injured or killed. Neighbour Rebecca Hyland the William Thwaites Boulevard and Glasscocks Road intersection was dangerous as traffic continued to increase in the fast-growing area. "You will see that most of the lines are faded and definitely impossible to see in the wet," she said. "A lot of people are scared of that intersection." According to Ms Hyland there have been many near misses and accidents and she's even witnessed a dog being hit by a car on Glasscocks Road. "The speed limit is too fast for the current conditions, lowering the speed limit is surely is a short term fix," she said. Tim, who did not want his surname published, agreed the intersection was dangerous saying its design was confusing motorists. "No one no road rules, in terms of which car goes first," he said. "What do you do? I've got to anticipate four or five different cars and what they're going to do. He also fears for the safety of children walking to and from the Berwick Springs Junior Football Club. "It needs some sort of traffic management there," Tim said. Resident David Cunningham said: "Traffic lights will help absolutely ... with the two intersections the way they are now people get inpatient." Casey manager of city and asset planning

By Brendan Rees

Residents are calling for traffic lights and a reduced speed limit on the William Thwaites Boulevard Picture: BRENDAN REES and Glasscocks Road intersection. 197171 Keri New said council met with residents on site to discuss possible options to improve road and pedestrian safety at the intersection. This included reduced speed limits, additional signage, line marking, pedestrian crossing points and signalised intersections. Ms New said council has prioritised a design for a centre median refuge to be installed on Glasscocks Road between Mountainview Boulevard and The Esplanade.

"This refuge would allow pedestrians to stage their crossing and reduce the crossing distance required in a single movement," she said. Ms Hyland said she was explained in an email from council that they have organised for traffic surveys to be undertaken along Glasscocks Road in the next couple of weeks. "Once the data has been received, council will approach VicRoads to discuss the speed limit," the email stated.

Casey BMX has had to cancel events after heartless vandals smashed an electronic box used to operate their entry gate. Members of the club at Casey Fields have been left gutted by the senseless act. Club president Adrian Bognar said nothing was stolen but two components of the gate had been "smashed to pieces". He said it's believed the incident took place sometime between Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon of 25-26 August. "What we believe may have happen is that these people have tried to diffuse the gate and put a crack into it," Mr Bognar said. "What they don't understand is: we take some of the stuff out and it's not going to work without those components. "Then they've just decided to smash a few bits," he said. "It's something we've got to reorder now ... without one component it's hopeless." Casey Council confirmed it would cover the costs for the damage estimated to be $3,000 and the repairs were currently being undertaken. Mr Bognar said a key part called the brainbox was smashed open and found dumped at a nearby path. "It was damaged so I'm not sure if that still works or not," he said. Mr Bognar said it was a big inconvenience. "We can't run the gate at all. We can't run any of our club meetings or any of our open gate nights which generate the income for us."

Sporting win for precinct Cranbourne West is celebrating after a new $7 million sporting precinct officially opened its doors to the community. Opened on Sunday 18 August, the precinct at Barton Recreation Reserve, includes a pavilion, three full sized soccer pitches; one full sized cricket oval; three cricket practise nets; floodlighting; 130 sealed car parks; one electronic score board and walking trails. The pavilion includes six female friendly change rooms with associated amenities, two unisex referee rooms, a first aid room, public female, male and unisex accessible toilets, a community room, kitchen, office, scorer room and storage It also features a community room, which has been made available to Autism Spectrum Australia five days per week. Autism Spectrum work with people of all ages and tailor a range of programs and support to help people with autism achieve specific planning and life goals. Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon was said the facility, located at Alarah Boulevard and Elysian Place, was a win for the community. "It gives me great pleasure to attend open-

ings such as today as this is yet another facility within Casey that's now available for our community to help them be active and healthy with their family and friends," Cr Stapledon said. "I encourage the community of Cranbourne West and beyond to make the most of this wonderful new addition to their neighbourhood. "If you haven't already visited, bring the kids down for a hit of cricket or put the dog on the lead and enjoy the new walking trails." Mayfield Ward councillor Garry Rowe said it was great to see soccer facilities being prioritised and incorporated into a great reserve such as Barton. The opening adds to 70 other recreation reserves in Casey and will be home to the Barton United Football Club, a Football Victoria affiliated club that has relocated to the precinct. The relocation of the club will allow for more growth and participation, while also encouraging more sporting events and teams into Casey. Council tipped $3.6 million into the project with funding also provided by the State Government and Sport and Recreation Victoria.

The precinct includes three full sized soccer pitches.

When David and Lauryn Jordan decided they were ready to have a baby, they knew it wouldn't be an easy journey. Mrs Jordan was born with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome, a condition that meant she was born without a uterus. Undaunted, the couple went through two rounds of IVF that resulted in three viable embryos. The next step was to find a surrogate, so they joined the Australian Surrogacy Community Facebook group to explore their options. Surrogate Sarah got in touch with them and the trio gradually got to know each other through online messages before finally meeting face to face at the Australian Surrogacy Conference. "The easiest way to describe it is that it's like dating, getting to know her, her husband and her kids," Mr Jordan said. "We would go to each other's houses and chat and get to know each other, which was a really valuable and important part of the process. "You need to lay the foundations and work out each other's values to see if it's going to work." Legally, the Jordans were unable to openly ask Sarah to be their surrogate; they were therefore overjoyed when she made the offer to them one night in Canberra, where she and her family live. There were yet more hurdles though, including individual and group counselling sessions, psychological tests, legal advice and finally a submission to the Patient Review Panel - all part of the surrogacy process.

Once they were given the all-clear, the Jordans transferred an embryo to Sarah. Unfortunately, it miscarried at 10 weeks; but the next embryo was more successful. The pregnancy was "uneventful", Mr Jordan said, with everything happening as it should, and the Clyde North-based couple made every effort to get to Sarah's appointments interstate. "She was so respectful of us too and included us in the milestones like the first kick and how she was feeling," Mr Jordan added. The birth earlier this year was "one of the best experiences of my life", he said. He and Lauryn were allowed in the room with Sarah and her husband in an experience that he will never forget. Their daughter was born healthy and well and given the name Everlie. Mr Jordan said Sarah, her husband and her children are considered "part of the family", and they plan to tell Everlie the "absolute truth" about her birth. "We described it to Sarah's kids as 'Lauryn doesn't have a house in her tummy', so we'll probably go with that," he said. The Jordans are one of the families being featured on a new ABC TV show titled 'New Dads'. Hosted by Jane Caro, the show will explore the lives of five Australian men navigating their first year as new dads. The program will go to air on Tuesday 27 August at 9.30pm. Mr Jordan hopes to challenge the misconceptions and taboo around surrogacy. "It's just our normal; it's how we had to have a baby," he said.

RAY’S SAY

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On Friday 23 August, a story was shared to the Berwick Star News Facebook page about State Government plans to remove the Clyde Road level crossing with works to begin next year. Here's how our readers responded online: Gorky Morgan: Thank goodness. I hope that they can also provide the fire department with a brand new state of the art building somewhere else on Clyde Road and move them and also give the Little by Little coffee shop a good payout or find somewhere really fantastic to move them. That way they can knock them both down and provide much needed parking for all of us that cant get a car park for the train after 7am. Janine Kimberley: No foresight at all, should have been done with the duplication, now will cost more than it would have then. The traffic there is horrendous at the best of times, it will be worse while this goes on. Peter Douglas: The worst. Lost count of times - copping the train crossing after already sitting at the red lights for five minutes. Friday thumbs up! Robert Maglicic: Needed but this won't fix the congestion issues on Clyde Rd. There are so many traffic lights over such a short distance out of sequence culminating to freeway with insufficiently sized turn lanes. Good idea but think bigger people. Stephen Roberts: Awesome. Going to be bad traffic while the works goes on but worth it in the end. Aaron Collard: What happens to the businesses that will suffer in Enterprise Ave?

Respite need grows By Brendan Rees Carers looking forward for a chance to have a break at a new respite service in Berwick may face a longer wait - despite its doors opening just weeks ago. Services have begun to fill fast at the facility, which opened at the beginning of August. “Our Casey Cottage in Berwick is now establishing a waitlist,” Kimberley Donovan, chief executive of 39Plus, said. The non-for-profit organisation at Cardinia Road, which also has a centre in Rosebud, offers 24/7 support services for older people, people with disabilities, and their carers. There are six beds at the Berwick site, with a total of 14 flexible respite beds available across

the two locations.When asked why there was such a high demand, Ms Donovan said: "Our unique service model offers flexibility and a genuine focus on the individual." "The statement 'I wish you offered this type of care in more locations' is echoed frequently by a large number of our customers and carers," she said. "Our customers become part of an extend family and the aesthetics of our service environments achieve a home away from home feel." Ms Donovan said if there were more resources available 39plus could fill respite homes across the state as the option of residential aged care did not suit the needs of everyone. More funding and affordable properties from which to run their services would help al-

leviate high demand for clients, she said. LaTrobe MP Jason Wood encouraged the centre to apply for a grant through the National Disability Insurance Agency's (NDIS) Information, Linkages and Capacity Building program. Mr Wood said the program was unique in that it is for all Australians with disability, not just NDIS participants. "I want to see people in La Trobe having more opportunities to participate in and contribute to the community and the NDIS funding will go towards building inclusive communities right across our country," he said. "I would encourage all eligible organisations in La Trobe to apply today." Meanwhile the centre has hit the ground running to prepare for its official launch.

Police body cameras roll out in Casey Casey police will be equipped with body worn cameras as the roll out to the area begins from next week. More than 11,000 cameras will be deployed by 2020, with the Casey area next on the list to receive them, which includes Endeavour Hills and Narre Warren police stations. A body worn camera is a tool worn on a police officer's uniform which is used to record video and audio footage. Assistant Commissioner Russell Barrett said the body worn cameras are a boost to police capabilities in the area.

"The introduction of body worn cameras is expected to deliver improved community safety, enhanced evidence gathering, increased police safety and accountability," he said. "The initial pilot we conducted in April 2018 showed us that camera usage policies, infrastructure and training for police had worked well and police were comfortable using the technology within their first one or two shifts. "Given the pleasing results of their function along with the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community, we are in the pro-

cess of rolling the cameras out to more officers. "We are pleased to be expanding the body worn cameras to more officers, with the aim to have 11,000 general duties police and Protective Services Officers equipped one by 2020." AC Barrett said police officer would undergo regular training which includes the use and functions of the body worn camera. From next week, body worn cameras will start to be used by Casey general duties and highway patrol police officers of the rank of sergeant and below.

An 87-year-old military-tank enthusiast in a Ford GT sports car has blazed through a Princes Highway amber light at 125 km/h, a court has heard. John Belfield, the owner of Melbourne Tank Museum in Narre Warren North, was once dubbed as 'Australia's oldest hoon' a decade ago. On this occasion, a speed camera at the South Gippsland Highway intersection snapped the east-bound car at 45 km/h over the speed limit just after 10am on a Sunday last September. His lawyer told the Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 27 August that Belfield was not "hooning". On Belfield's way home from a Dandenong trash-and-treasure market, he had just given the car a "squirt" as the lights turned amber, the lawyer said. He'd been surprised by the power of what was his first-ever brand-new car, bought after his wife had died a year earlier, the lawyer said. "He put his foot down, gave it a squirt and that particular car and engine goes from 80 to 120 (km/h) in 2.2 seconds," the lawyer said. "Within five seconds he's exceeded the speed limit by 45 km/h." Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said that two seconds would have been "ample time" to stop the car at the lights. "Rather than stopping, he gave it a squirt." Mr Vandersteen rated Belfield's risk of returning to court as low, though noting "I'm surprised by the type of car that you're driving in the circumstances". He took into account Belfield's "significant costs" to subpoena traffic-camera photos to support his case. Belfield was convicted and fined $750, on top of a 12-month driving disqualification. According to his lawyer, Belfield - isolated from public transport or even footpaths - had bought himself a mobility scooter for his disqualification period. Belfield had not been charged since 2009 when his Nissan Pulsar was detected at 170 km/h in Warragul. The car was impounded on that occasion. Belfield was regarded as Australia's oldest hoon and branded by then-Premier John Brumby as an "idiot".

Hoons tear up park By Brendan Rees An angry resident says he's fed up with fourwheel-drive vehicles tearing up the track at Narre Warren's Bayview Park. George says the park cops a "weekly trashing" by hoons - and has called on Casey Council to fix the issue. "We taxpayers have spent millions rehabilitating the park and yet every week more damage is done," he said. "I don't know why they let it happen." According to George, who did not wish to give his surname, people often broke in via a fence off Brundrett Road. "I have rung the council several times to no avail and recently tried to report a group of youths breaking down a fence but the receptionist wouldn't even write down their rego, telling me to call the police," he said. He said hoons came dangerously close to gas pipes and communications facilities. "I can see them from my house ... tearing around at night," George said. "It looks like only a catastrophic interruption to vital infrastructure in Bayview Park will get Casey council out of their ivory tower to stop the weekly trashing." Deputy mayor Rosalie Crestani said senseless damage to the park was frustrating and council was looking at ways to curb the behaviour. "We're doing our best at council ... the park is very big - we're trying to look at ways to sort that out." She said the recent launch of 1001 steps at

Their bacon’s hard to beat By Jessica Anstice Hoons have torn up Bayview Park. 197166 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Damage caused by hoons at the park. 197166 the park was one way of reducing anti-social behaviour. "It tends to be occurring across the city. It's how can we sort of lock it up to ensure that it has makes it difficult for illegal users to break in." Cr Crestani urged residents who had any information to contact council.

In what could be deemed Australia's tastiest competition, Griffin and Morris Village Butchers Berwick have been named as producing some of the best bacon in the state, just in time for International Bacon Day on 31 August. Griffin and Morris Village Butchers Berwick bacon was announced second in the 2019 Australian PorkMark Bacon Awards in the Full Rasher category. Kerr Griffin and Steve Morris from the Berwick butcher shop produced the bacon, made from 100 percent Australian pork, which stood out over 140 entries. "The cornerstone of good bacon is to source the finest produce," Mr Griffin said. Australian Pork Limited marketing general manager Peter Haydon says the competition shines a light on small goods makers who are using 100 percent Australian pork to produce their bacon, which is great news for both producers and bacon-lovers. "Bacon is an Aussie household staple but there's a high chance the family favourite that

shoppers are selecting isn't made with local ingredients," Mr Haydon said. "Many people are surprised to learn that 80 percent of bacon sold in Australia is made using imported pork which may not be subject to the same quality, welfare and environmental standards as our production systems. "If you want to support Australian pig farmers, look for the pink Australian Pork logo on pack. Otherwise check the bar chart on the Country of Origin label has a percentage of over 90 percent of Australian ingredients." The process behind naming these bacons as Queensland's top was hotly contested, not only by the entrants, but with a spot on the judging panel being a hot ticket. All entries were judged in their raw and cooked form by a panel of four passionate bacon connoisseurs Fleischmeister Horst Schurger, chefs Simon Bestley, Adam Moore and Paul McDonald.

FOCUS ON … TAX TIME

The friendly family firm Michael Muaremov is opening his Beaconsfield practice to new clients for the first time in nearly a decade. Until now the practice has only taken new clients on referral. Mr Muaremov said the time was right to take on new clients, who will be assigned to his team of four qualified accountants. “We have capped our client numbers for the last 10 years but my team is eager and ready to take on their own client loads,“ he explained. Mr Muaremov opened his eponymous business 20 years ago. He was headed for a life as a lawyer until the arrival of a daughter with wife Merita when he was barley 20 meant he had to eschew study for a paying job as a clerk. He eventually went back to school to study accounting and opened his own practice in 1999 when he was just 26. It turned out to be a fortunate turn of events. “I wouldn’t change a thing if I could have my life over again. I would have made a useless lawyer,“ he said, laughing. “I am about helping people. I wasn’t meant to be an accountant but I do love what I do.“ The firm has been based in its current office on the Old Princes Highway for 17 of its 20 years. Wife Merita has been by Michael’s side as the business has gone from strength to strength, and works in the office part- time Eldest daughter Fabiola has worked in the family business for 10 years and is now the practice manager. Second daughter Deanna has followed in her father’s footsteps and is an accountant. Third daughter Leonora is doing her VCE and hopes to become a mid-wife. Merita and his girls are complemented by what Michael calls his “practice family“. Business manager Romaine Nichols has

Michael Muaremov, centre back, and his team from left Kavi, Dom, Katrina, Romaine, wife Merita, Fabiola and Ali. 194548 been with Michael for 16 years and accountant Anne Bryan has been with him for 15 years. Associate accountants Katrina Villegas and Ali Kasemi have clocked up 10 years and 14 years respectively. Graduate accountant Kavi Kumar is the newest addition to the team. In return for their loyalty, Michael ensures his staff have opportunities to grow professionally.

“One of the reasons they stay is because they don’t need to look for opportunities outside. I work to ensure people there are opportunities to grow professionally within the business.“ The firm handles the tax affairs of individuals including the self employed, sole traders, partnerships, companies, trusts and self managed superannuation funds.

The team prepare and lodge tax returns and Business Activity Statements and work closely with business clients and investors. Plans are afoot for a 20 year celebration later this year that will include many of the firm’s most valued clients. The celebration will honour two decades in business for a firm which is proud to be known as the “happy accountants“.

Ten billion dollars has been refunded to Australian taxpayers so far this tax time, an increase of over $2 billion from this time last year, with most returns being processed in under two weeks. Australian Taxation Office (ATO) Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat highlighted that the ATO seeks to process returns as soon as possible, announcing that over 4 million refunds have already been sent out, compared to over 3 million refunds issued this time last year. “Of course, the ATO works around the clock to quickly get refunds in peoples’ hands. However, there are some things that taxpayers should take care with to ensure their return is not unnecessarily delayed," he said. “Firstly, it’s important to check your bank account details are correct, and if you’ve changed accounts recently, take a moment to update your details. “When refunds get sent to incorrect bank accounts, redirecting them to your new ac-

count will take more time. This tax time, we’ve seen some people who are really keen to get their refund, having missed this important step. “Another big obstacle getting between some people and their return is forgetting to declare some income. Common things people forget to include are rental income, bank interest and government allowances or payments – particularly if they lodged before our pre-fill was available. “If our data shows us that you’ve likely left out income, that can slow down the processing of your return while we make additional checks.” Remember if you have lodged your return online, it can take the ATO up to two weeks to process. You can check the status of your return by logging into your myGov account, using the ATO app or searching online via the ATO website. There is no way to speed up this process.

Cops’ wild chase

By Brendan Rees

A Casey resident has described the moment a driver "hurtled" towards her after an alleged stolen car wound its way through Hampton Park on Monday 1 April. Robin Dzedins of Lynbrook said she was turning left into Camms Road from South Gippsland Highway about 2.30pm when she saw a car "swerving like a maniac." "I could only see it head on hurtling straight at me. e. Luckily I was turning left, had I been going straight ahead I would've been hit," Ms Dzedins said.

hit flying in the air and I was thinking 'God, I haven't been killed and hope no one behind me is killed.'"

Ms Dzedins said: "It was very frightening, I was very lucky."

"I could see bits of car flying up into the air, like I think mirrors or I don't know; door handles, something like that," she added. "There must have been so people just affected literally by the accident."

It came as police were led on a two-hour wild pursuit which began about 12.30pm after a four-wheel-drive was allegedly stolen from Cranbourne. The vehicle was later set alight, police say, before the speedsters fled in a station wagon and later hijacked a ute in Hampton Park. The ute crashed where police say the driver was seen getting out carrying a rifle, which was used to carjack a Ford ute in Carrum Downs. Witnesses say they saw the vehicle drivdriv i on the wrong side of the South Gippsland ing Highway in Cranbourne.

The driver, a 26-year-old male from Cheltenham, tested positive to methamphetamine and had his licence disqualified disqualified. He was charged with aggravated carjacking;

counts of obtain property by deception and eight counts of theft.

Casey is United For the third year in a row, Melbourne United is heading to Casey Stadium for NBL pre-season action. On Friday, 6 September, United will face the Cairns Taipans from 7.30pm in what promises to be a great contest as both teams prepare for the upcoming 2019/20 NBL season. This matchup will be United's first 2019 pre-season game against an NBL opponent and will provide fans in the south east with the opportunity to get their first glimpse of Melbourne's three superstar imports; Casey Prather, Shawn Long and Melo Trimble. For Trimble, while it will be his first opportunity to face NBL opponents since signing with United, it comes against none other than his former team; the Taipans. Trimble set the league alight with his incredible scoring ability for Cairns last season and will be looking to continue that scintillating form with Melbourne. With Long and Prather also likely to line-up for Melbourne on the night, there will be no shortage of highlight plays. Prather returned to Melbourne this off-season after helping United claim the 2018 NBL Championship, while Long made the move to Melbourne after starring for the New Zealand Breakers last season. While Melbourne boasts an array of stars, the Taipans have some exciting players to keep an eye on too. Imports Scott Machado - who suited up for the Los Angeles Lakers in four NBA games last season - and DJ Newbill are impressive, while veteran big man Nate Jawai, along with young stars Kouat Noi and Majok Deng make for an exciting line-up. Limited tickets remain for the clash. To ensure you don't miss out, head to bit. ly/2XU8EGp.

Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan rolls the first jack after opening the new green at Narre Warren.

Greens are open for play

Melbourne United's Mitch McCarron in action last year at Casey Stadium.

While the winter sports are drawing to their finals, Narre Warren Bowls Club officially opened its greens for the coming season. Prior to the opening, Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan opened the replacement synthetic green by rolling the first jack. The first bowl was rolled by past president and major projects manager, Eric Sydenham. Members then had a 'social' game followed by afternoon tea, which included Casey councillors Rex Flannery and Sam Aziz, Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas, Casey Bowls division president Geoff Miller and sponsor Sunny Chittajallu (from Bendigo Bank). Narre Warren will field seven teams in this year's Pennant competitions - three ofnTuesday and four on Saturday, with one team on each day being two rinks. Club major projects manager Eric Sydenham paid thanks to politicians, councillors and members for their efforts in making the green cover a reality this season, and four members (Enid Gibb, Stan Bulmer, Norm Hosmer and John Zanon) of six who have achieved the target and received their over 80 badges.

Premiership dreams realised in the South East Juniors SOUTH EAST JUNIORS GRAND FINALS UNDER 13s,14s,15s Dreams were made on Sunday in the South East Juniors grand finals across the southeast, with many talented youngsters tasting the sweet taste of premiership glory in another brilliant season of junior football. In Under 13 Red, Pakenham Maroon triumphed at Holm Park Road Oval against Narre North Foxes Black, 6.1 (37) to 1.2 (8). The game was tight for the first half with both sides going in with a goal apiece, but the Lions roared home with five second-half goals, with Tarkyn Nicholls finishing his brilliant season in front of the big sticks with two majors. In Under 13 Blue, Cranbourne Blue clinched the flag with a memorable performance against Pakenham Blue, 8.7 (55) to 2.7 (19), while in the Under 14 Red competition, Narre South Lions Navy got the job done in an entertaining game against Beaconsfield Gold, 7.3 (45) to 5.1 (31). In Under 14 Blue, Endeavour Hills won the flag against Tooradin-Dalmore, 7.3 (45) to 4.8 (32). There were lots of winners across the ground, but Joe Fallah, Oliver Hann and Dejan Janjic played the games of their lives. And in Under 14 White, Narre North Foxes Grey clinched a premiership with a dominant effort against Lyndhurst, 10.8 (68) to 2.0 (12). In Under 15 Division 1, both Berwick White and Beaconsfield Blue saved their best for last,

It was even right to the very end in a game that went into overtime, with both sides playing out a memorable and outstanding game of junior football, but the Berwick side just did enough to hold the cup aloft, with Tejaye Kleverkamp kicking seven in a wonderful performance, while Harrison Sala was outstanding.

In Under 12 Red, It was a low but close scoring affair in the Beaconsfield derby, but Beaconsfield Gold made it over the line against Beaconsfield Blue, 1.4 (10) to 0.5 (5). In Under 12 Blue, Beaconsfield got off to a fast start against Lyndhurst and although a late scare worried the Eagles, they ultimately hung on, 4.6 (30) to 3.2 (20). The Lightning got within a goal late in the game before Charlie Ellis booted the match sealing goal late in the game for the Eagles. Logan Reaby, Deacon Luck and Jake Smith were all competitive for the Lightning while the Eagles were led by the efforts of Archer Radings, Mac Beale and Bailee Dorward. And in Under 12 White, Narre Warren finished its season on a high with a 5.10 (40) to 3.2 (20) win over Berwick.

In Under 14 Girls, Narre North made it two from two in the Beaconsfield and Narre day in girls footy with its strong 5.7 (37) to 1.3 (9) win. And in Under 16 Girls, Beaconsfield got the final game back against Narre North with one of the most thrilling grand finals of the day.

Can anybody Holt him? By Tyler Lewis MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN FINALS WEEK 2 Ex-Cranbourne star Marc Holt simply carried his Karingal side into a preliminary final with 11 of his side’s 18 majors against Somerville, 18.12 (120) to 15.10 (100). The Bulls got off to a flying start with seven straight majors in the opening term, before Somerville slowly but surely clawed back into the match and at one stage took the lead in the third term. With 20 minutes gone in the final term, the Bulls led by one behind when Holt’s powerful arms reached into the setting sky to pull down the mark and boot his 10th. Moments later the champ won a free kick within range and he booted his side into a preliminary final against Langwarrin with number 11. Holt was kept to one major against Langwarrin when they met a week ago in the qualifying final, but the Roos' back six will certainly be sleeping nervously on Friday before the preliminary final at Somerville this weekend. SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - WEEK 1 FINALS Keysborough will face the Doveton Eagles next week after going down to Murrumbeena, 8.9 (57) to 10.10 (70). The Burras lost touch with the Lions in the second term and were kept at bay from then on. Chris Bryan, although goalless for Keysborough, was named best afield while Matthew Lello was sublime for the Lions. Keysborough faces the Eagles on Sunday in an elimination final for a spot in the prelim. A strong second half continued the Doveton Eagles’ season for another week as they ran out 12.14 (86) to7.9 (51) winners over Hampton.

The great Marc Holt slotted an astonishing 11 majors for Karingal on the weekend. 193858 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS The Eagles led by just three points at the main break but a blistering second half ultimately secured another finals appearance next week. As usual, Nick Battle was superb for the Eagles while Lewis Robertson was impressive for Hampton. DIVISION 3

FINALS WEEK 1 Hampton Park strolled into the big dance with an impressive 11.13 (79) to 4.10 (34) win over Clayton. A seven-goal to one premiership term put the Redbacks further ahead as the favourites for the flag as they put a wasteful Clayton side to the sword.

Luke Behin was best on for the Redbacks while Chris Morrison was best afield for Clayton. In the meantime, Endeavour Hills knocked off Ashwood, 11.11 (77) to 9.8 (52). The third term proved costly for Ashwood as they won the first and final terms and lost the second by a single behind. David Hickey was dominant with four goals in a best afield performance for the Eagles while the Hills were led by Ben Carter who booted three majors. DIVISION 4 FINALS WEEK 1 Lyndhurst won its final 5.13 (43) to 2.8 (20) over South Yarra. The Lightning asserted its dominance in the first half, keeping the Lions to just three behind to half time and again in the final term. Jarrod Murphy continued his form with another best on while Harrison Gillett was impressive for South Yarra. And Hallam tested the Frankston Dolphins all day but were unable to escape with the victory, going down 12.9 (81) to 11.5 (71). Jack Sharlassain was the best for the Hawks while Calum Eiffler was best on for the Dolphins. EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE ROUND 18 Balwyn taught Noble Park a lesson on the eve of the finals, winning 17.12 (114) to 9.11 (65). James Freeman booted another four for Balwyn while Kieran Byers was the best for the Bulls in Mick Fogarty's final game at the helm. Rowville had a momentum-building win over Blackburn before its finals campaign, 9.6 (60) to 6.17 (53). The Hawks trailed at the final break but stormed home to secure a strong victory to build from come finals.

After three premierships in four years, Berwick are enjoying their most successful era. 185297 Picture: ROB CAREW

Berwick’s belter 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

The race for fifth is alive By Tyler Lewis and Nick Creely

Narre Warren livewire Mitch Cox is back and firing for the Magpies. 196946 - were a touch wasteful in front of goal but it didn’t matter with nine individual goal kickers. Josh Tonna was named best afield for the Pies and was joined by the consistent Trent Cody and Nathan Foote, who were also among the best. Beaconsfield enjoyed the week off in the lead up to an important finals series. The finals will begin a week early this week for the grand finalists of the past two years with Berwick and Narre Warren doing battle for the minor premiership and more importantly the week off in the first week of September. In Division 1, meanwhile, Pakenham has well and truly earned the week off, knowing that the expectations out of the club will continue to rise as it prepares to embark on a launch at its first senior premiership since 2009. The Lions clinched the minor premiership with a rock solid performance in finals-like conditions against arch rivals, Officer, in front

of a healthy crowd at Toomuc Reserve, 10.10 (70) to 7.7 (49). A stifling breeze wreaked havoc all game to the southern end of the ground, with the Kangaroos kicking into the wind in the first term and taking in a 13-point advantage at the first break despite some typically strong defensive efforts from Ash Green’s side. But it was the way the Kangaroos took the game on the first quarter that posed a significant challenge for the home side, with the typically industrious ruck work from Sean Roach helping open the game up and get some free ball for its nimble forward line. But the Lions turned it around with their time in the wind in the second term, backing their style and skill in the tough conditions to wrestle back the lead at half time by 14 points, with Jeconiah Peni’s drive in particular a major feature from the coalface.

OUTER EAST FOOTBALL PREMIER AND DIVISION 1 REVIEW In a Premier round full of thrashings, Wandin secured the only win under 75 points in the competition when it edged out Healesville, 14.11 (95) to 14.9 (93). The Dogs got off to a blistering start and held a handy 33-point buffer at the final break before the Bloods came home with plenty of run in their legs, finishing with six goals to one in the final term. Liam Daly continued his form for the Bloods with another strong performance following his match against Beaconsfield last week. Wandin spearhead Justin Van Unen was again simply brilliant with nine majors, and now leads Berwick star Harry Money by three majors in the race for the league goal kicking award. The Berwick juggernaut continued on its merry way with a demolition of Upwey Tecoma, 15.20 (110) to 3.6 (24). Travis Tuck was at his usual best while Jordan Andrews and Harry Money paired with five majors each. Cranbourne, meanwhile, also punished Olinda Ferry Creek, 19.17 (131) to 3.7 (25). Youngster Corey Ellison was on fire with six majors while Kyle Nunn was also impressive for the Eagles. The Eagles have the Dogs breathing down their neck in sixth but just need to get the four points against Upwey Tecoma to secure a finals birth. Narre Warren demonstrated the gap at the top end of the spectrum when it dismantled now fourth placed Woori Yallock, 14.20 (104) to 3.11 (29). The Pies - which were led by the return of goal kicking livewire Mitch Cox (three goals) after a terrific stint at VFL level with Frankston

advantage, with the Kangaroos unable to utilise the breeze in the third term, with the Lions intercepting everything off half-back, slowing the game down and forcing the Roos down the line - something that clearly doesn’t play into their hands. Despite the advantage, Doug Koop’s side managed just the two goals, with the Lions’ defensive set-up absolutely first class as they crucially managed to hold onto the lead at the final change, setting up a 21-point win that will continue to fill them with immense confidence. Apart from Peni, who looks to be building into some solid form come finals time, Darcy Hope was creative and looked a threat while Jake Barclay returned to the senior side and made the most of his chances to slot two goals. For the Kangaroos - who despite going down for a third time to the Lions this season - will have taken plenty out of it ahead of their elimination final, with defender James Sloothaak excellent, Roach excelling in the ruck with Joe Baker-Thomas sitting out the game for the Lions, while Ben Kerrigan did some terrific things around the contest. Monbulk, meanwhile, belted Belgrave but were unable to clinch top spot, 22.26 (158) to 7.7 (49). The Hawks - who kicked 14 goals to two after half time - will now turn their attention to Sunday’s qualifying final showdown against Doveton at Beaconsfield’s Holm Park. In other games, Doveton did enough in horrid conditions at Warburton Millgrove, 6.7 (43) to 3.7 (25), while Mount Evelyn got the best of Emerald, 14.18 (102) to 12.10 (82) despite a scare from the Bombers at stages throughout the contest. The other final to be played on Sunday will be an elimination final between Officer and Mount Evelyn, which will be played at Gembrook.
