A ‘mongrel’ act By Georgia Westgarth RICK Maaskant can’t watch television tonight - because thieves stole his TV remotes. Thieves stole his spare keys, his Mazda MX5 and his Hyundai, which they pinched twice - even from another nearby address. They stole his wallet and then came back again and left with his TV remote controls. And they’ve ransacked Mr Maaskant’s home several times, left him fearful for his own safety and extensively damaged his back door. These “mongrels� have destroyed Mr Maaskant’s life in just two weeks. “I had the spare sets of keys sitting in the same drawer for six years and didn’t think anything of it,� he told The News. Mr Maaskant has lived in his Cranbourne North home for eight years, “without any problems.� Now he says he braces himself every time he returns home - expecting his house to have been burnt down. The extent to which Mr Maaskant has been followed and targeted is shocking. On the afternoon of Monday 29 August Mr Maaskant came home to a house raided by thieves and his beloved sports car gone. “All the rooms were turned upside down looking for the keys,� he said. “It was a really beautiful car, I paid a lot of money for it.� Police advised Mr Maaskant to park his Hyundai at another location because the offenders would be back for it. “So I parked it in a friend’s driveway nearby but they found it - at 9pm on Monday it was gone.� Mr Maaskant used his Hyundai for work purposes and had to get a hire car to work out of, but police recovered his Hyundai with buckled wheels, dumped

The Hyundai was then found a few streets away on Friday 2 September, with the steering lock on and is currently in police possession. However thieves still have the spare set of keys, and the MX5 has not been recovered. Mr Maaskant is currently negotiat-
ing with his bank and insurance company. Thieves stole his wallet on Monday 5 September and his TV remote controls on Tuesday 6 September, while he was out. “I forgot about my wallet, with everything that has been going on and they found it and have spent $300 at

Christina Arandall told the News her husband Luke can’t mow the lawn without getting attacked - and venturing to the mail box is a daily concern. “This magpie is just so vicious, it has drawn blood on Luke’s ears and back of neck, it is attacking from the ground and from the sky, you have
to be so vigilant,” Christina said. “I’ve lived here seven years and it has definitely got worse the past five years.” Christina said the nasty bird has a 20 to 30 metre swoop zone by a tree along Brentwood Drive - that all the residents in the street are aware of. “The council put notices up last year which said beware of the magpie but all it does is make teenagers throw stones and sticks at it and antagonise it - making the situation worse,” Christina said. The dangerous situation hit boiling point on Saturday 3 September
when two primary school aged boys dropped their scooter and skateboard in the middle of the road to escape the magpie. “I had to go out and retrieve the skateboard and scooter, because cars were stopped and everyone was in danger,” Christina said. “Someone is going to get seriously injured because people are more worried about the magpie swooping them, than getting hit by a car.” Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon was attacked by a magpie at the same location last year. Cr Stapledon said “it drew

blood” and that the situation was not going away. At a Casey Council meeting on Tuesday 6 September Cr Stapledon brought up the safety concerns as an item of urgent business, saying she would like to see the magpie relocated. “I am awaiting confirmation from council officers, but I am insisting they relocate the magpie somewhere where it can’t be taunted, but is safe for everybody,” Cr Stapledon said. Christina said the battle with the magpie was never ending - with young school kids having to run past the tree with their bags on their head.

at Moonee Valley. The Cranbourne Turf Club is offering a bonus of $1 million to the connections of a horse that can win both the Listed $300,000 TAB Cranbourne Cup (2025 metres) and the Group 1, $3 million Cox Plate (2040 metres). Winning connections of the Cox Plate will collect $1.8 million in prize money. Cranbourne Cup victors would look forward to $180,000 in prize money. Potential earnings would be close to $3 million including trophies. Mr Bainbridge said the club hoped this bonus would lure a top quality field to Cranbourne this spring. “Cox Plate contenders now have a million more reasons to gallop up the home straight at Cranbourne on their way to the Cox Plate, one of the major races of the Spring Racing Carnival,” Mr Bainbridge said. “Being two weeks out from the Cox Plate, the TAB Cranbourne Cup lends itself as a possible lead-in race and the TAB Cranbourne Cup is a Quality Handicap with a maximum top weight of 60kg, making it even more appealing for Australia’s weight for age stars.” Nominations for this year’s Cox Plate closed on Tuesday, with 157 entries received.

SPRING in Cranbourne means one thing, and that’s racing. The TAB Cranbourne Cup carnival was officially launched on Monday 5 September with the help of this year’s young members’ ambassador Melbourne footballer James Harmes and local jockey Jake Bayliss. A key feature of this year’s cup is set to be a musical performance by Melbourne-based DJ and producer Joel Fletcher, along with other performers in the VIP marquee. Last year a car was given away and this year won’t be any different. One lucky racegoer will win a Hyundai i30 by simply being on course. Cranbourne Turf Club CEO Neil Bainbridge said: “We gave away a car on Cup Day last year with our great partner Cranbourne Hyundai and it was a great success.” The Cup will be held on Sunday 9 October and gates will open at 10.30am. Ten races, including the feature race $300,000 TAB Cranbourne Cup and the $100,000 Procon Developments Apache Cat Classic, are set to provide a big day of entertainment. The Cranbourne Turf Club is also offering $1 million to Cox Plate hopefuls who run and win this year’s TAB Cranbourne Cup and the Cox Plate. The Cox Plate, Australia’s premier weight-forage championship, kicks off on Saturday 22 October

Human face of fear SHAUN and Melinda Butler are two faces of what Casey council describes as an “on-going escalation” of home invasions in the municipality. The Berwick couple watched in the public gallery as the council voted unanimously at a special meeting on 1 September to continue lobbying for more police and other ramped-up law-and-order measures. The Butlers remain traumatised several months after burglars crept into their unlocked housing estate home early one morning as three children slept with open bedroom doors. The intruders stole phones, tablets, house and car keys - and then both cars. One of the recovered cars was crashed and written-off, the other attracted three red-light and speedcamera infringements. “We have lived there nine years. We never imagined this would be the last place this would happen,” Ms Butler said. “People say they sleep with keys under their pillow. I say don’t do it they’ll come find them.” Two weeks later, the burglars tried to break in again but were deterred by changed locks and a new security door. Two juveniles out of seven suspects were arrested. One of the teens - on bail at the time over charges of bashing an elderly couple - was then bailed again. His lawyer successfully argued for a more lenient night curfew so as to not interfere with the teen’s lovelife, Ms Butler bitterly recalls. The Butlers’ insurer refused to pay excess on the stolen vehicles because the offenders were juveniles. Mr Butler, medicated for a subsequent nervous breakdown, sleeps “on edge” and regularly checks out noises outside at night. Within
THE City of Casey will write several letters to the Federal Government and police authorities in a bid to combat the escalating crime rate in the south-east, and calling for a joint policing taskforce to combat violent street gangs.

It also congratulated the State Government for legislating new offences such as carjacking and home invasion with statutory minimum sentences for an increase in police numbers for Casey.
crease police numbers in Casey to address the growing crime rate, with no satisfactory outcome for the Casey community as of yet. “Council was also extremely disappointed to hear of the closure of Endeavour Hills Police Station at evenings on weekends.” Cr Aziz said police resources were a must for Casey. “Casey needs a larger police presence to protect its residents, not less ... to service our growing population.” The meeting also resolved to write to Premier Daniel Andrews to congratulate his government on strengthening the Crimes Act 1958.

A “CHUBBY” man armed with a knife has taken advantage of a scared victim who dropped their car keys. The armed robbery occurred on Monday 29 August, about 9pm. The man, described as around 25 years old, chubby, Caucasian in appearance, with an Australian accent, demanded the victim’s car keys on Woodbine Road, Cranbourne North. The victim fumbled the keys and dropped them on the ground. The man snatched them and proceeded to drive away in the victim’s white 2001 Holden Commodore sedan, with registration RHM 184, which was parked at a nearby car park. Police described the man as wearing a plain light blue hoodie over his head, which was covering part of his face, and grey track suit pants. The car hasn’t been found. Anyone with information is urged to call the Casey Crime Investigation Unit on 9705 3114.

Council fights gambling I AM writing in response to Mr Glazebrook’s letter (Deal With The Real Problem, Berwick and Cranbourne News, 1 September 2016) criticising council over electronic gaming machines (EGMs) in Casey. Through the City of Casey’s Electronic Gaming Machine Strategy 2015-2020, council has a long-term commitment to reducing the negative impacts of gambling from the operation of EGMs on the Casey community. Council frequently advocates to the State Government to reduce the incidence of problem gambling, including calling for a review of regional caps for EGMs and a Casey-wide cap to include our growth areas. We invite Mr Glazebrook to also advocate to the State Government. Councils have limited grounds to oppose applications for new or additional EGMs based on the social and economic Net Community Benefit test which is assessed by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) under the Gambling Regulation Act 2003. Council strongly discourages EGMs in suburbs where the EGM density is higher than the state average and does not support the operation of EGMs within or neighbouring a facility where the dominant activity focuses on children and young people. Council’s position is for no new machines in community areas of high social and economic disadvantage. Casey sits in the higher expenditure bracket of all Victorian LGAs due to its large adult population and the amount of EGMs per 1000 adults in Casey is actually lower than the state average. Council encourages anyone experiencing problems with gambling to call Gambler’s Help on 1800 858 858. Cr Sam Aziz, Mayor City of Casey.

Councillors play political football, soccer suffers What cheek our mayor has as he again blames others! Maybe if the mayor wasn’t spending $125million of ratepayers’ (money) on new offices for himself, his councillors and his CEO then some of that money could have been spent upgrading this much needed soccer facility. What the mayor is ignorant about is that community facilities should be front and centre of his council and not brand spanking new offices to the ratepayers’ cost of $125million! Shame on you! Susan Goodwin, via Facebook Justice ‘crisis’ in Casey This is what you get from having developers in our councillors’ pockets! Our local area has exploded with development as our councillors are addicted to collecting rates from newly cut up blocks of land and collecting levies from developers. More people = more crime. Rachael Reade, via Facebook Mayor calls for crackdown on crime Maybe if our council wasn’t addicted to collecting rates on newly developed blocks and levies from developers who cut up the new estates, then our local area wouldn’t have exploded with estates after estate.

SQAUSHED, banged up and battered this Marriott Waters bird statue needs attention. A resident, who bought the block of land in Lyndhurst for one reason only - to look out her front window at these exact bird statues - is despairing at the sorry state of the statues. The woman, who asked the News not to publish her name, said the bird statues were designed and made by a Tasmanian artist as a focal point for the estate’s walking tracks and waterways. “The bird lay in the man-made waterways for about two and a half months, you could see half of it sticking out of the water,” she said. “After I made several complaints the bird was taken out of the water and dumped on the grassy embankment and stayed there for two weeks. “The same bird has fallen off its perch three times and it’s never been re-erected properly. “I have made countless calls to Marriott Waters who redirect me to Casey council, who
redirect me to South East Water and I’m sick of them passing the buck.” The bird now faces a different direction to what it did originally and its wings and body has collapsed inwards on itself. “It’s just a laughing stock. I bought this block of land and built this house because of the sculptures and now it looks like this.” CRANBOURNE residents may not agree but VicRoads says that the $10.1m Sladen Street upgrade is progressing well with traffic scheduled to return to the westbound carriageway between the Cameron Street roundabout and High Street. VicRoads acting regional director Michael Barker said traffic will continue to operate in one lane each direction as works continue over the coming weeks. “Although we are in the final stages of the upgrade, the speed limit will continue to remain reduced as we complete the works,” Mr Barker said. “These works include finalising a new pedestrian crossing east of Codrington Street, installing new street lighting and completing landscaping. “Sladen Street between High Street and Cameron Street will also be resurfaced, including the roundabout and approaches at Cameron Street.” Weather permitting, the upgrade will be
complete in November. A CHILDREN’S Court was on red-alert after a 15-year-old boy was arrested for breaking his night curfew conditions while on bail. The magistrate told the court that the boy’s absconding coincided with the recent release of several Apex Gang-like associates from custody in the past two weeks. He then described his fears about the gang and the associated spate of violent carjackings, dangerous driving in stolen cars, and home invasions. “There is no Apex Gang, of course. It’s just a word thrown around but he’s associating with high-risk young people. “It’s referring to the type of offences they’re committing and the high volume of offences. “What sits behind it is if we don’t stop it, someone could be hurt (including) him.” THE bail application for a man coming down from marijuana use seemed to dissipate in haze. The man was asked by a Dandenong Magistrates’ Court judge why he should be released on bail. Representing himself, the man paused and said: “I can’t think at the minute.”

Staff member Elaine and Steven Richard serve two of the in-demand mega shakes 158728 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
Bracing for a shake-up specially roasted blend, and Mr Richard has vowed never to use that former coffee supplier again. “One person told me you’ve changed Hampton Park to Hampton On the Park,” Mr Richard said. Mr Richard insists it’s not just the food that’s drawing crowds - one family even flying in from Tasmania for the day after seeing a national TV news story. It’s the buzzy atmosphere, attention to detail and an enthusiastic staff that he teaches to “make a difference”. “Part of my journey is to inspire the uninspired.” He said the seemingly overnight success had been built on 12 years in the industry as a cafe developer and investor in about 50 different stores around Melbourne. Ambitiously, Mr Richard started as an 18 year old jointly involved in a cafe in Pakenham. It forced him to grow up quickly, he says. It’s helping him to handle his new-found fame, such as being stopped in a Queensland street for his autograph. “I’ve donated my life to hospitality, now my phone won’t stop ringing.” Dine Local Eat Global page 40. 12322062-ACM36-16
HAMPTON Park’s home of the wildly popular sensation ‘mega shakes’ could be set to explode into a national - and even international - franchise, says its owner and director Steven Richard. In recent weeks, Sugar Buns bakery cafe has drawn long queues of customers from interstate and across town since it relaunched its menu with lavish and spectacular milk shakes. In response, the cafe - buzzing with 30 staff - now occupies the double-storey retail space next door, more than doubling its capacity, Mr Richard says. Despite trying to scale back on social media, the cafe’s Instagram followers total 13,000, its Facebook likes about 21,000. Sugar Buns has placed bollards outside its shop to herd the lines of waiting customers that have run 50 metres deep. Mr Richard, born and raised in Dandenong, is in no doubt the ‘mega shakes’ are the most popular of their kind in Australia. On average, Sugar Buns create a staggering 700 mega shakes a day, including the ‘chocoholic’, ‘candyland’, ‘salted caramel’ and ‘strawberry shortcake’. His closest national competition might make 20 in an hour. “It’s numbers I’ve never seen in my life,” Mr Richard says.
“Why I made this a success is I never chase the dollar. “I love the art of hospitality. I made the mega shakes so people feel they’re getting value for money and leaving here completely satisfied.” Mr Richard is now being chased by international franchises and national shopping centres. “The interest has been huge. They tell me the amount of traffic you bring to (Hampton Park) shopping centre, we need you here.” He says he’s ready for the next challenge - to maintain the standard across a number of franchises. “I’m ready to spend the effort. I’m ready to go.” Mr Richard is loving his 90-hour week at the cafe, even savouring the long drive from Preston each day. Mr Richard had set up at Hampton Park shopping centre to be close to his parents Lucille and Burty’s 25-year-old business Lucy’s Divine Cakes and his brother Didier’s Heroes Burger Diner. When he launched the cafe three years ago, he was told it would never work. His prospective coffee supplier told him he’d be lucky to serve five kilograms of coffee a week, and refused to stock their coffee at this cafe. The cafe now has its own

Olivia’s Great Strides team is called ‘LivLife’, and is already among the top 10 fund-raisers in the campaign. To donate to the 65 Roses awareness campaign visit: www.65roses.org.au
ON 23 August, tourism enthusiasts and business owners came together at Atura Hotel, Dandenong, and took part in the 2016 Casey Cardinia Tourism Conference. The conference, presented by local businesses and tourism groups Casey Cardinia Tourism and Eastern Dandenong Ranges Business and Tourism, showcased some of the industry’s leading experts who shared their knowledge, trends, practices and advice. The conference attracted participants from all types of businesses, including restaurant and café owners, accommodation providers, event organisers, tourism attractions and transport operators.

OLIVIA Brown, like most twenty-somethings, likes to stay active and enjoy the outdoors, but her body doesn’t always keep up with her spirit. Olivia, from Clyde, has lived with cystic fibrosis (CF) for most of her life. “I am 24 years old, and was diagnosed with CF at six weeks old,” Olivia said. “CF limits my life a bit, being only capable of working short hours, getting exhausted quickly and feeling unwell regularly, and it being hard to breathe really limits how much I can do every day.” CF is one of the most common life-shortening genetic conditions affecting the lungs and the digestive systems of Australians. Those living with CF undergo a gruelling daily treatment regime to stay healthy, and Olivia, along with hundreds of others is helping to raise awareness and funds in ‘Great Strides’ during 65 Roses month. The awareness month dates back to 1965 when a young boy pronounced cystic fibrosis as “65 Roses”. Olivia will run or walk 4km around The Tan on Sunday 30 October despite her lung function being below 50 per cent for the past couple of years. “I want to be able to create as much awareness and funds for CF as possible, so we can have a cure in my lifetime,” Olivia said. “My daily routine includes up to 40 tablets a day including digestive enzymes, vitamins and antibiotics,” Olivia said. “Then I do number of nebulisers which can take up to three hours daily depending on how I feel. “Physical activity includes as much exercise as I can handle each day, as well as, breathing exercises and stretches to open my lungs up and of course resting an appropriate amount to make

Marketing Manager at Puffing Billy Railway, pointed out that the conference was not focused solely around tourism and instead touched on personal development also. “We had Lana Johnson, a business specialist and coach undertake a workshop on goal setting, time management and how to achieve a work-life balance.” Lynne Trensky of Eastern Dandenong Ranges Business and Tourism Group and member of the Casey Cardinia Tourism Advisory Committee said the conference was a terrific networking event. “The conference provided a forum for attendees to network and collaborate with other tourism operators in our region and to maximise business opportunities,” Ms Trensky said.

Fuel card in trust breach A TRAVELLING salesman who ripped off his employer’s fuel card for more than $8700 has been ordered to reimburse the proceeds and perform unpaid community work. Dimitrios Fotopoulos, 48, pleaded guilty to 35 offences relating to illegally using a Caltex Star Card 104 times at a number of service stations in greater Melbourne in 2013 and 2014, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard. Invoices were sent from 34 Caltex stations including two each in Dandenong and Keysborough, as well as Doveton, Kooweerup, Narre Warren
and Noble Park. Fotopoulos claimed he had not stolen the card. It had been provided by his employer Samsung Australia for driving his car for work purposes, defence lawyer Adam Maloney told the court on 29 August. Samsung had, however, told Mr Maloney it didn’t use that particular card, the court was told. According to a police summary, the card had been misplaced by a La Trobe Valley plumbing business. Police alleged Fotopoulos knew the card’s PIN from working at the plumbing firm as a service delivery driver.
Mr Maloney conceded Fotopoulos had used the card with “dishonest intentions” but did not have a gambling or drug addiction to blame. Fotopoulos left Samsung in late 2014 - by his own choice - to be a full-time carer for his mother, Mr Maloney said. In sentencing, magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted there had been a “breach of trust” by Fotopoulos, but took into account the accused’s age and the delay since the offences. Fotopoulos was convicted and placed on a 12-month community order including 125 hours of unpaid work. He was ordered to pay $8748.70 in compensation.

Hay is up in flames AROUND 1000 bales of hay erupted in flames after a suspicious fire was lit at a Pearcedale flower farm on Monday. The extensive blaze off Coolibah Road was reported to CFA at 11.30am on Monday 5 September, and was deemed under control by midday. Resembling a glass house around 30ft long, the building built of plastic was partially damaged in the fire.
A bulldozer was used to move the hay bales.
AN accused family violence offender is facing allegations of entrapping his partner’s foot on the accelerator as they drove on a freeway, as well as veering her car in the path of an oncoming truck. A fidgeting Raymond Mitai Sarich, who was withdrawing from ice, cannabis and alcohol, had his bail application cut short in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 5 September after being warned for several interjections. Complaining of feeling hot, Sarich shouted at police officers in court as his alleged offences were detailed. When police informant Acting Sergeant Michael Harris, of Narre Warren police, was sworn into the witness box, Sarich told him: “You don’t know the truth.” “Why are you looking (at me)? I’ve already heard this f***ing shit so many times.” Among the accusations was that Sarich’s partner - protected by an intervention order pawned off her children’s iPad and another computer device for $170 at Cash Converters due to him demanding money for drugs and alcohol. Sarich was also accused of following the ex-partner in his mother’s car from St Albans to Cranbourne on 21 August. An allegedly red-faced Sarich
yelled at the partner and drove behind, in front and beside her vehicle as they travelled down Monash Freeway. She turned off at Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road, speeding at 100 km/h in a bid to escape him, the court was told. At the intersection of Thompsons Road in Cranbourne, the victim noticed a car slide off the road into a ditch due to Sarich allegedly cutting the driver off. The court was told Sarich subsequently forced his partner to let him stay for three days. She told police she felt she couldn’t go anywhere. An “abusive” and “angry” Sarich also demanded she drive him from Altona to WISE Employment in Cranbourne. On the journey, he allegedly grabbed the steering wheel causing the car to veer in the path of a truck. He then locked her in the car, activating the alarm, as he visited his appointment, the court heard. On the same trip, Sarich demanded the victim drive him from his relative’s home in Clyde North back to Altona to get his phone. On 2 September, Sarich accused the partner of sleeping with another man. She was afraid he’d hurt her if she tried to leave. “He’s completely crazy,” she told police at the time.
The next day, as she drove on the West Gate Freeway, Sarich used his leg to trap her foot on the accelerator for a minute. During that time, the car sped up from 60 km/h to 100 km/h. She drove him to his relative’s house in Clyde North. He allegedly grabbed her keys and then her face. He told her: “You’re not going anywhere, c***. You’re coming inside.” As they sat in the car with the windows up, Sarich screamed at her and smoked cigarettes and bongs, the court was told. Inside the house, they watched a movie. About 11.30pm Sarich yelled at the woman for falling asleep, and barricaded the door so she couldn’t escape. Evidence of a Father’s Day incident on 4 September was cut short when Sarich said: “Your Honour, do I have to hear this?” “I can’t stand it ... it’s the sick s*** she’s always said about me.” Magistrate Jack Vandersteen at once rejected the bail application. He noted custody management issues such as Sarich’s agitation, psychiatric illness, and withdrawal from drug use. “He’s also vulnerable because he won’t be able to stop talking.” As Sarich was led back to the cells, he banged the wall and said: “Thanks a lot.”

A FINANCIAL counsellor will soon be helping family violence victims and survivors in Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia. Recruitment and training is underway for 10 new, full-time counsellors specialising in financial abuse to be placed in agencies across Victoria, Consumer Affairs Minister Marlene Kairouz announced on Tuesday 6 September. They’ll negotiate with creditors and debt collectors to help those in abusive relationships to protect assets from repossession and access financial hardship programs. Existing financial counsellors will also receive financial abuse training under the $1.75 million State Government project, and the cash will help utilities, telecommunications, finance companies and more to develop guidelines to respond to family violence and financial abuse. There will be the equivalent of one full-time specialist financial abuse counsellor working in the Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia region. All financial counsellors working at South East Community Links (SECL) in Springvale, which services the region, will have training in supporting victims of financial abuse. “Family violence takes many forms. These ground-breaking initiatives targeting financial abuse will go a long way to helping victims and those at risk,” Ms Kairouz said. “This is an Australian first. Financial counsellors specifically helping victims of family violence or financial abuse is a key response to the recommendations of the Royal Commission. “Specialised private and confidential counselling services will help financial abuse survivors and victims create a better life for themselves.”

New centre for turf club The wedding portrait was taken on 3 September, 1966. Steve is standing behind David, the groom.
AN EQUESTRIAN centre in the heart of the Cranbourne Turf Club is on the cards. At a council meeting on Tuesday 6 September, Casey councillor Geoff Ablett raised a notice of motion for the development of an equestrian centre and a learn to ride free program at Cranbourne’s training hub. Cr Ablett said he hopes a centre would help to reinvigo-
rate Casey’s youth into the sport. “This would be for everyone but hopefully kids will want to have a go at sitting on a pony and learn to ride,” Cr Ablett said. “It’s something that is really exciting.” Relevant council officers will now meet with the Cran-
bourne Recreation Reserve Committee and the Turf Club to discuss the availability of any potential land at the centre. Cr Ablett wants to ensure a learn to ride for free program would be at the heart of the centre. Decorated horse trainer Colin Alderson has also thrown his weight behind the idea.
News solves mystery THE News solved a mystery months in the making and oceans apart. On 3 September, 1966, David Avakian married the love of his life, and recently celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary. But one vital part of his anniversary celebration day was missing - his best man. David, who now resides in Westminster, Maryland, in the US, contacted the News in hope of reconnecting with his best man, Steve Fansler. “As we age, it seems, we become wiser in that we can more clearly see the value of friendships - both new and old,” David told the News.
“Our lives are enriched by our friends and losing track of old friends diminishes one’s life. “As we recall the significant times in our past - we really needed to reconnect with Steve and his wife Pat.” David had been searching for Steve on and off for a year. David googled Steve’s name which brought up a letter Steve had sent into the News. “I contacted you thinking that you might have a recent email or other contact info,” David said. The News published David’s search for Steve in the ‘It’s None Of Our Business But ... ’ section of the paper on Thurs-
day 26 August - and magic happened. “I was excited and pleased to get a message from Steve saying that he was so surprised to have a neighbour come to his door with a copy of your posting about my trying to reach him,” David said. “We have made contact and should now be able to reconnect after so many years and so many miles.” David and Steve were college chums and David had one message for the News: “Thanks again for your key role in solving my search!” If anyone else is searching to reconnect with an old friend please email: dailyeditor@ starnewsgroup.com.au

Pathways to work By Casey Neill FIND a passion and set goals were the top pieces of advice handed to Greater Dandenong and Casey students on Tuesday 6 September. The annual Lunch with the Winners at Sandown Racecourse featured Dr Jordan Nguyen as guest speaker, ‘winners’ Quintin Whitehead, Bianca Santos and Guillaume Nyakaboyi, and futurist Marcus Barber. SEBN manager Sandra George said the event’s aim was to show students the many pathways to employment. “We hope the guest speakers will inspire you, as next generation of leaders, to follow your dreams,” she said. The event was a partnership between SEBN and South East Local and Learning Employment Network (SELLEN). Ms George told students that key employability attributes included communication skills, getting along with others, a positive attitude, motivation, and being well-presented. “Leaving school with Year 12 or Certificate III gives you the best stepping stone to employment,” she said. “The employment market out here is very positive. “Manufacturing is still the largest employer, and it is growing out here. “Today, manufacturing is sophisticated, it requires you to take your brain to it and it requires diverse skills.” Dr Nguyen was “pretty lost through high school” and struggled through his first semester of electrical engineering studies at university.
Spending a day unable to move after hitting his head in a pool gave him a new direction. “I wondered what would have happened if I couldn’t walk,” he said. “Suddenly, I had purpose in my life.” Dr Nguyen decided to harness the power of the mind and created a wheelchair that tapped into electrical signals from the brain. Veterinary science inspired the chair’s horse-like vision that steers it around obstacles. He’s now delving into how virtual reality could help people with disabilities. “Do what inspires you,” he said. “If you don’t know where you’re wanting to go in life, how are you going to get there? “If I have a goal, I’ll constantly move towards it.” Mr Whitehead didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming the quality and improvement manager at AG Coombs. He didn’t know what he wanted to do when he was at school, but found a job and put his hand up for every opportunity offered to progress through the company. “Successful for me is having a family I’m proud of and a job that I enjoy going to every day,” he said. Ms Santos, 22, felt pressure from her parents to attend uni but found it wasn’t for her. She dropped out, got a tattoo apprenticeship and started volunteering for gaming events.
Futurist Marcus Barber tells students about the jobs and skills of the future.
'Winners' Quintin Whitehead, Bianca Santos and Guillaume Nyakaboyi share their stories. Through a gamers festival at Chisholm she received a job at the institute, has completed two certificates and is onto a third. “If you surround yourself with the things that you love, even if you don’t know what you’re going to do in the future, that’s okay,” she said. Mr Nyakaboyi was born in conflictravaged Burundi, Africa. He completed primary school in a refugee camp in Tanzania. He arrived in Australia six years ago, and is studying chemical engineering and pharma-
Guest speaker Jordan Nguyen.
ceutical science at Monash University. “Whatever you want to do, go and do it with passion and power and talent, and you will get there,” he said. Mr Barber ran through the bare essentials all students in the room would need for their future career, regardless of the industry. He urged them to collaborate and create with someone they didn’t know each week, keep learning from anyone at any time on any subject, to manage their time and to believe in themselves. “If you’re worried about what other
people think of you, your friends are doing the exact same thing, which means no one’s thinking about you. They’re thinking about themselves,” he said. Mr Barber said they would need to know how to analyse and adapt, to persist when things got hard or boring, to problem-solve, and to enact. “You must be able to DO. All of that makes no difference unless you do give yourself a target and do work towards it,” he said.

Men are urged to play a part MEN’S parts are in the spotlight. It’s National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and all men are being encouraged to get their parts checked and head to the Hallam Truck Centre to donate to the cause. PACCAR Parts is on the prevention highway and hopes to donate $50,000 to prostate cancer research by the end of October. The Parts for Parts campaign wants truckies and all men in sedentary jobs to get to the Hallam Truck Centre to buy PACCAR Parts to help reach the goal. As part of the awareness month, a portion of the profits from selected PACCAR Parts products will go directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) along with any donations made in store. More than 3000 men die of prostate cancer every year, making it one of the deadliest cancers in Australia. PACCAR Parts Sales and Marketing Services Manager Marian Dekker knows how difficult life on the road can be. “Our truckies are responsible for keeping this country moving, however all that time on the road can be detrimental to their health,” she said. “We want to encourage Aussie truckies to look out for their wellbeing and take steps towards reducing their prostate cancer risk factors - that means living a healthier lifestyle, moving more and improving their diet.” The PCFA encourages all men to consider their overall health and lifestyle, which may affect the risk of prostate cancer.

HARVEST Realty at Hampton Park will celebrate 10 successful years in the real estate industry this week. With a decade of service - and several staff members who have been there since the beginning - agency principal Vincent Djuang believes they must be doing something right. Vincent along with Tyrone Joseph (property management) and Julia Tikhanov (trust accounting), were all there at the opening day a decade ago. The remaining four staff, including the sales team Jerry Wu, Travis Chong and Mars Salazar, have been on board for the past five years. Vincent believes the company’s stability and honest approach to their clients has stood them in good stead over the years. “We sell around 150 houses a year so that’s well over 1000 over the 10 years,” he said proudly. “We love what we do and we love our staff.”
He said they enjoyed being part of the Hampton Park community and were big supporters of local events. And it's this real love and concern for the area and its people that Vincent, who has been in the real estate industry for 20 years both overseas in Australia, believes has led to both the longevity and success of the Hampton Park office. He said the staff at Harvest Realty cared about what they did and they cared about their clients, meaning that repeat business and word of mouth had become a major and important part of their business. And as an extra service in this multicultural area the staff at Harvest Realty speak many different languages including Hakka, Cantonese, Mandarin, Tagalog, and Indonesian. Find them at 22 Enterprise Avenue, Hampton Park, or call on 8787 8498.

The hottest window coverings THOSE who are on the lookout for the right window covering this spring need look no further. Here is the hottest spring trends to help make the right decision when renovating windows. Wavefold sheer curtains Sheer curtains are back in a big way! And in recent years they’ve had a face fit with the sleek and contemporary Wavefold sheers. These pretties are unique in that they drape with a smooth continuous wave effect creating a relaxed and elegant look. The floating fabric adds softness and warmth to a room, dramatically transforming any space. Wavefold sheers will no doubt be this spring’s hottest trend. They soften the link between indoor and outdoor living areas while enhancing the ambience of a room by adding movement and texture. Wavefold sheers are also surprisingly easy to operate. Gone are the days of trying to pull heavy curtains back and forth, with the flick of a wand and minimal effort, curtains can glide easily from side to side. Whisper cellular shades In recent years the cellular shade has fast become the quiet achiever in the window covering world. It’s easy to see why it’s now the top blind product for energy efficiency. As spring is here cellular shades become much more popular as everyone starts to think about how to keep homes cool during the warmer months. Whisper cellular blinds are constructed using a fabric that is cellular / honeycomb in shape providing superior insulation properties. This unique shape traps air helping to create a more constant indoor temperature, keeping the home cool in summer. The unique construction of Whisper cellular blinds results in savings of up to 32 per cent on a home’s energy cost! Floor to ceiling curtains Short curtains are out and floor to ceiling curtains are in! Short curtains do exactly what short
pants do - They shorten the height of your windows, and the height of your rooms, making them feel more enclosed. Designed to hang the full length of windows, custom made floor to ceiling curtains are a must. Hanging curtains as high as possible creates the illusion of height to a room, making windows look bigger and rooms feel more spacious, so it’s no surprise they are trending for spring. Now for the endless practical benefits that make these curtains so popular. Floor to ceiling curtains ensure complete light control, privacy and thermal insulation, so heading into the warmer months they are the top choice to ensure windows keep the hot air out and cool air in! Two blinds in one These sound too good to be true! Double or dual roller blinds have a double bracket system which combines two fabrics on the same window, allowing both a blockout fabric for keeping the light out and a sheer or sunscreen fabric to see out through. Control of each blind is separate so window views and soft diffused light can be enjoyed during the day and at night they offer complete privacy and darkness. It’s easy to see why double roller blinds are becoming so popular. Layering Window coverings are friends and work at their best when layered together on windows. So layering is a must this spring to ensure a welldesigned finish on windows. The hottest layering combination has to be sheer curtains layered over blinds. This combines the preference for the simplicity of blinds with the desire to add the softness, texture and movement of sheer curtains. Not only does this layering look stunning but it also ensures flexibility over window privacy and light control. White plantation shutters If ever in doubt, go for white shutters. These
guys should never be overlooked because of their ability to transform the inside and outside of a home. Adding shutters across a home’s front windows can make a huge impact to the façade and kerb appeal. Along with these aesthetic benefits, shutters also add sound insulation from outside road and traffic noise.
Opt for true custom made shutters that are designed and hand crafted specifically to fit window dimensions for a snug fit. For more information on curtains, blinds, shutters or awnings, or to book a free in-home measure and quote contact Dollar Curtains and Blind’s Pakenham showroom on 5940 0395 or the Fountain Gate showroom on 9704 8654.

FROM toddlers to teens, from dads to nanas. It doesn’t matter if they’re young, or just young-at-heart, Phillip Island Nature Parks offers a range of exciting things for the entire family to see and do this spring. Check out the internationally-renowned Penguin Parade, come face-to-face with a koala at the Koala Conservation Centre, visit the Churchill Island Heritage Farm, head out on a Wild Oceans EcoBoat tour or be amazed by the spectacular world-first interactive Antarctic experience. The Antarctic Journey at the
Nobbies Centre on Phillip Island has become hugely popular with locals and tourists since it launched late last year. Developed in partnership with WWF-Australia, the threelevel attraction invites visitors to take a virtual journey into the wonderful world of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica as they engage with the many interactive and immersive experiences. The first level shows Phillip Island as the gateway to the Antarctic, finding some interesting links between the temperate island and the frozen lands of Antarctica.
Visitors will then descend into the area known as The Lab to be entertained and educated through a range of interactive and informative experiences. Visitors will feel the freeze as they enter the Antarctic Chill Zone, try to sink a bowling ball, compare their thermal image with an Emperor penguin, or check out a sea spider under a microscope. The final level is a state-ofthe-art multimedia experience. Visitors will find themselves enthralled by the audio visual spectacle which puts them right in the heart of the action.

Great place for a country break CONVENIENTLY situated between Lakes Entrance and Bairnsdale, the Tambo River Tourist Park, at Swan Reach is a great place to spend a short break in the fresh air. The autumn weather is usually fine and mild, with cool nights and pleasant days. The park is an ideal base for enjoying the great outdoors, with access to all that the Gippsland rivers, lakes, mountains and forests have to offer. The towns of Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance,
and the villages of Metung and Bruthen are all nearby, and there are lovely drives, and good walking and cycling trails, as well as a number of lovely golf courses. The beautiful Tambo River, a well-known fishing destination, is an easy 200-metre walk from the park. The Swan Reach jetty and the fishing platforms on the riverbank are all great sites for bank fishing. The boat ramp is only a short drive away.
The park offers a range of comfortable and affordable accommodation with something to suit everyone. The self-contained units are popular with families and couples, while powered sites are available for those who like to enjoy the freedom of their own caravans or tents. The park is pet friendly, so you are able to bring your furry friends with you for a break as well. Please let them know at the time of booking if you are bringing your pet. Facilities include a recreation room, a wellstocked library, a playground for the younger
children, and a solar heated swimming pool. The free barbecues are all undercover, and there is a well-equipped camp kitchen. Rates are affordable, and as well as families, many fishing and social clubs are welcomed during the year. The park is conveniently located next to the hotel, and opposite the well-stocked general store. For booking or further information please phone (03) 5156 4314, go to www.tamborivertouristpark.com or find Tambo River Tourist Park on Facebook to start planning your next holiday now.

Super deals for grand opening THE $2 Superstore in Casey Central will hold its grand opening on Saturday 10 September. The day will feature a big draw at 1pm by the Casey and City of Kingston mayors.

Chrissy said there was new stock daily - especially close outs and specials. Although new to Casey Central, the shop’s owners have a long history with The $2 Superstore with Chrissy having 24 years’ experience in the discount industry and remaining true to the “nothing over $2” motto. “Phil and Heather Kingston (mum and dad) were the original owners of The $2 Shop Fountain Creek,” Chrissy said. “Growing up in the store and

“They are eager to help when they can - we are the new Brady Bunch,” she laughed. “We also have a great group of 10 vibrant friendly staff. “Krissi (manager) and Wendy (two IC at Casey) are both local mums and have both been in the industry for 20 years.” The $2 Superstore at Shop 155, Casey Central next to the new Woolworths is open Monday to Wednesday 9am-5.30pm, Thursday to Friday 9am-9pm, and Saturday 9am to 5pm.
New training for horse racing A NEW course for people considering a career in the racing industry has been developed by a partnership group which includes Kyneton Community and Learning Centre, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Racing Victoria and the Racing Industry Skills Centre. The Victorian State Government provided funding for the project. This innovative program entitled Pathway to Racing is delivered in three stages. Stage one consists of selfpaced on-line learning where participants undertake theoretical training in horse behaviour, being safe around horses, horse identification and racing equipment. These aspects are reinforced in the second stage of the course where students spend a morning in a classroom environment where a presenter, accompanied by guest speakers, introduces the topics such as the Duties of Stablehands, Licensing Pathways, Integrity in Racing, Career Pathways and Horse Welfare. Finally, in the third stage students are taken on a tour of a local racetrack on a race day where they will see firsthand the inner workings of the racecourse and meet jockeys, barrier attendants, course managers, stewards, judges and vet-
Students and staff in the Mornington Racecourse program taken at Mornington Racecourse in December 2015. erinarians who are very willing to share their knowledge and experience with them. The program content has been developed with broad industry consultation and is a response to an identified need for people entering the industry, particularly stable hands, to gain specific skills around safety and the regulatory environment. Participants can expect to gain the basic skills and knowledge to commence employment in a training stable. Exposure to Racing Victoria’s Rules of Racing and the importance of integrity in racing ensures stable employees have a much clearer understanding of their rights and responsibilities while employed in the racing industry.
Courses are being rolled out across Victoria and have already been delivered in Kyneton, Mornington, Echuca, Swan Hill and Bendigo. The Pathway to Racing course is a finalist in the 2016 Victorian Learn Local Award and the winner will be announced at Collingwood Town Hall on Thursday 8 September. The next course is to be held at Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre, Cranbourne, on 15 September and enrolments close on Tuesday 13th to allow students time to undertake the on-line training before race-day. To book into the Cranbourne course call 5996 9056. For more information about Pathway to Racing course go to http://kynetonclc.org.au/courses.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Power player plugged in By Cam Lucadou-Wells HALLAM electrical contractor Powerplant Project Services is a “little guy" that is a growing force, having recently won a state contract to design lighting for the most recent upgrade of the M1 project. The Monash Freeway 30-kilometre upgrade runs from EastLink to Clyde Road, Berwick - with additional on-ramp signals out to Pakenham. Director Greg Plant says after the latest project, Powerplant’s staff would have designed lighting for the freeway from Pakenham to Tullamarine - except for the city tunnels. “For us it’s a real achievement as a relatively small company to be participating in these larger projects and to have contact with nearly the entire freeway. “We’re little guys who have got to do big things locally.” It ranks as one of Powerplant’s biggest jobs, alongside its lighting design for 300 light poles in the recent Tullamarine Freeway widening. Other major local projects include Peninsula Link, Sladen Street, Ernst Wanke Road, Northey Road, Casey Fields BMX centre, Bunjil Place and Casey Indoor Leisure Centre. Powerplant also lands electricity-line contracts for new housing estates, particularly in Casey, and is helping SP Ausnet put its powerlines
underground in bushfire prone areas. Powerplant promotes new, brighter and more energy-efficient LED lighting on their projects. The white lights use 30 per cent less power, have less “light spill” and improve visibility on the road at night, lighting design manager James Kerner said. In the past 12 months, the business has added more than 600 projects. Its customer base now totals more than 500. Its staff has grown five-fold to 40 in the past four years forcing a move into more spacious offices in Hallam. The company hopes to attract surveyors, development consultants and civil construction companies, to form a hub of services under the same roof. Mr Plant started the business as a solo venture at home in 1999, seeing an opening after the State Electricity Commission of Victoria was broken up. “Regulators wanted customers to have a choice but there was no-one to provide that.” Powerplant is still a unique business and has grown with its reputation. Mr Plant says the secret to Powerplant’s success comes from “serving our customers well”. “We develop the most economic idea and we deliver what our client needs from it,” he said.

Refugee centre drives training By Casey Neill

Students in gear to build skills base CHISHOLM Institute automotive students are restoring a car to raise money for scholarships. ACM Parts donated the Toyota Corolla, which the Dandenong-based students will repair and restore using ACM’s recycled and certified parts. The finished vehicle will go under the hammer later this year. ACM Parts CEO Mike Kirkman said the project would help to secure the future of the best and brightest in the automotive sector. “ACM Parts has a responsibility as
one of the largest car parts supplier in Australia to make sure the automotive industry has a steady supply of leaders in mechanical and collision repair,” he said. “Education and hands-on experience are the crux of any career and we are thrilled to be able to support the future of Chisholm’s automotive students with scholarships funded through this donation.” Chisholm executive director Andrew Kong said the project was an excellent example of what a strong partnership
with industry could achieve. “Not only will our students have the opportunity to further enhance their automotive mechanical repair skills through the project, they will also be contributing to the raising of scholarship funds to support disadvantaged students looking to establish a career in the automotive mechanical and paint and panel industries,” he said. “We are extremely fortunate to be able to work with ACM Parts and look forward to our relationship continuing well into the future.”
A $15 million program is offering TAFE places to 3000 asylum seekers and refugees over the next two years. For the first time, refugees with temporary protection visas will also be eligible for the State Government’s Asylum Seeker VET Program. The government currently provides funding for about 300 eligible asylum seekers each year and exempts them from the usual citizenship criteria so they can undertake training. Under the new project, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) will refer asylum seekers and eligible refugees to do their training at Victorian TAFEs, private training providers and through the Learn Local network. The ASRC will also provide additional support and professional development to training providers working with asylum seekers and refugees. Customised language and literacy programs will be offered to participants to improve their reading and writing skills. An Integrated VET Learning Plan will help them to attain qualifications in the community where they live. Friends of Refugees spokeswoman Sri Samy said the initiative would assist people in limbo. “Other states should also follow suit,” she said. “This will give people seeking asylum and refugees on temporary visas to take part in the work force and lead an independent life rather than relying on charities and handouts to lead their day to day life.” Ms Samy said that in the past, Dandenong-based Friends of Refugees had found that most funded organisations only assisted people with an English level over four with preemployment and training. “However, based on the people that we assist every day we find that over 40 per cent of people seeking asylum have English skills less than level four,” she said.
“Friends of Refugees mainly fills in the service gaps that funded organisations are unable to do, so we have a small scale pre-employment training program for people with limited English.” On its Facebook page, the ASRC said that for the past five years it had been pioneering the only TAFE program for people seeking asylum in Australia. “We’ve placed 751 people into TAFE with a 92 per cent success rate,” the post said. “On the back of this success they (the State Government) are now investing in a state-wide response.” ASRC said the TAFE places would be in areas such as hospitality and aged care. “The ASRC will manage 1000 of these places and also take the lead in strengthening the capacity of the Victorian TAFE sector by sharing our ground-breaking model through training and running a help line,” the post said. “Victoria is the only state where people seeking asylum can access TAFE. “The challenge to other governments now is to follow Victoria’s lead and recognise that further education is a ticket to a better life and a stronger community.” Victoria is home to about 11,000 asylum seekers and refugees with temporary protection visas. Many of these people will soon transition to new visas that require them to work and study so that they can apply for further substantive visas. Training and Skills Minister Steve Herbert said the training would help recipients to “get a proper job, to reach their ambitions and full potential so they can play a productive role in the Victorian workforce”. “People come here looking for a fair go - and we’ll do everything in our power to give it to them,” he said.

Queueing up for shake-up Eat local,
dine global By Cam Lucadou-Wells COULD there be a better exponent of ‘food porn’ than Sugar Buns cafe in Hampton Park? The much-photographed megashakes are indeed a feast for the eyes as well as an explosion of sweet flavour that wouldn’t be out of place in Willy Wonka’s imagination. On average, Sugar Buns create a staggering 700 mega shakes a day, including the ‘chocoholic’, ‘candyland’, ‘salted caramel’ and ‘strawberry shortcake’. Behind the scenes, staff meticulously construct the shakes like they’re an artwork. On top of the ‘chocoholic’ icecream mountain, the chefs lavish chocolate sauce and affix Tim Tams, wafers, fairyfloss - and then line the plate with mud cake. Owner and director Steven Richard says he aims to balance the flavours
enough for customers to finish the mountainous meals - but also feel they have had value for money. On Fathers Day, he unleashed a savoury variety comprising peanut butter and jelly. The mega shake was dreamt up by Mr Richard while making a milk shake at home. He added ice cream, then a caramel chocolate bar, chocolate sauce and “demolished” it. “I thought then why not add everything together?” Creativity also abounds on the rest of Sugar Buns’ long menu, such as a smashed avo rosti with compressed potato, poached eggs, goats cheese and dukkah. There’s also the burgers served in brioche buns made by Mr Richard’s dad Burty for the past 30 years, as well as an imaginative ‘eggs Benedict’ on brioche French toast with coffee, vanilla, banana and maple syrup. Other highlights are a lavish carbonara papadelle in a smoked hamhock jus with crispy bacon, mushroom, poached egg, fresh pasta and cream sauce. The calamari powdered with ground up fennel, oregano and rice-flour is another must-try.
Sugar Buns staff member Vikki with a 'candyland' mega shake 158728 “I work on creating a balance of flavours,” Mr Richard says. “But the key these days is that peo-
ple eat with their eyes. Every person, before they eat, take a photo of their food and share it.
Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS “They call it food porn. “We have to give people the excuse to market for us.”

A passion for the ball By David Nagel BUTTERFLIES in the stomach and pride in his own performance are two things that still attract 82-year-old goal-umpire Ron Roberts to the football. After more than 4000 games, and nearly 60 years of waving the white flags, Roberts said he was still on edge ahead of last Sunday’s Under 18s girls grand final in the South East Juniors. “I still get nervous before a game, and the adrenalin still kicks in, once I lose that I think it might be time to give it away,” the Cranbourne resident said. Roberts was a western suburbs boy back in the early 1950s when he first fell in love the game. A talented junior, he crossed paths with some of the all-time greats of the then VFL. “I spent my early days around Footscray and captained a junior team and actually played against the great Teddy Whitten,” Roberts said. “I trained with Footscray but didn’t make the grade so I took up umpiring instead. I was watching a goal umpire one day and he was useless, I thought to myself ‘I can’t possibly do worse than that’, so I gave it a go and the rest as they say is history.” Roberts took to umpiring with gusto, officiating in six or seven games on a weekend, including two games on a Saturday followed by a busy junior schedule on Sundays. He has umpired in many parts of Victoria, including the West Gippsland, Ellinbank, Mornington Peninsula and Ballarat leagues before settling into his current role with the South East Juniors.
“I support junior and local footy, because that’s where the heart of the game is,” Roberts explained. “I love the game, I love the social contact, the comradeship, the umpiring fraternity is a very tight-knit group and they’re a great bunch of people. I won’t be hanging the flags up just yet.” Roberts said he had great memories and not too many bad ones of his time between the posts, quite remarkable really in a role that sometimes has its detractors. He said poor conditions presented him with more of a challenge than poor behaviour. “They think they’ve got it tough today but I umpired a game at Ferntree Gully once where it started snowing,” he said. “And sure you get your comments from the crowd, which I can’t repeat, but they go over your head after a while. The worst experience I had with a crowd member was when I was walking past a spectator one day, he opened a can of beer and it exploded all over my coat.” So is he officially the oldest umpire still officiating? “There was an article in the paper the other day with an 81-year-old claiming to be the oldest umpire going around, well I’ve got him covered,” the spritely Roberts said. And his advice to youngsters who are thinking about a career in the fluorescent team on the park? “Don’t be afraid to give it a go, it builds great character, great leadership and teaches young men the value of responsibility.” Ron Roberts is living proof that those important traits can stay with you for a lifetime.
Ron Roberts is showing no sign of slowing down after nearly 60 years between the big sticks. 158499 Picture: ROB CAREW
Cavaliers weep pure tears of joy By Russell Bennett THERE might not be a dry eye in house when the Casey Cavaliers hang their first ever Big V Basketball championship banner up in their new showpiece home court next year. Years of tireless hard work came to fruition on Sunday at the Casey Indoor Leisure Centre when Michael Davies’ Big V Division 2 women’s side clinched the title in front of its adoring home crowd with a 22-point win in the decisive three-game grand final series against Melbourne University. The Lady Cavs had to do it the hard way - coming back after losing the opening game of the series by a single point in an absolute thriller, 40-39. But the group, which originally had a goal of making the playoffs, had grown in confidence and belief steadily throughout the season. The Casey girls had thoroughly earned their top spot on the ladder and weren’t rattled by the loss in the opening game of the deciding three-game series against a Melbourne University side that snuck into the playoffs. In an entertaining and extremely physical series, the Casey side saved its best for last - winning on its ‘Fortress’ home floor by 12 points, 57-45, on Saturday night before backing that up with a 22-point win, 55-33, the following afternoon. Casey Basketball Big V delegate
The Big V Division 2 championship-winning Casey Cavaliers, from left: Bridgette Jacobs, Amy McFarlane, assistant coach Neil Rough, Tarryn Wilkin, Cyanne Mather, Rebecca Magdich, Alyssa Weston, Damian Stringer (stats), Jessica Szalek, Lauren Tuplin, Jasmine Ralls, Cristin Daly, captain Ruchelle McCracken, Niamh Donald, Jemma Innes, team manager Fiona Crockford, and coach Michael Davies. Picture: SUPPLIED Jodie Krug admits that more than a couple of tears were shed by the committee, players, coaches and supporters alike as the curtain drew over a brilliant season - one that won’t be forgotten by any of the Cavs faithful in a hurry. Club stalwart Amy McFarlane was named finals MVP and Krug paid tribute to her, and to coach Davies.
“Amy has been someone all our juniors have looked up to for years, and she’s a former junior coach, but this season she focussed on her playing and she was outstanding - she’s always been one of our most consistent players,” Krug said. McFarlane knows the heartbreak of grand final defeat, along with her great mate - the retiring Jess Szalek.
But now they’ll be forever remembered as crucial components of the Cavaliers’ first ever Big V championship-winning team. Krug praised Davies’ whole team for its performance, particularly the tough, experienced and composed pair of Tarryn Wilkin and Ruchelle McCracken who’d been huge performers for the side all season. But it’s the youth of the group many of whom are still teenagers that is its most exciting component. This championship success isn’t a flash in the pan - not by a long shot, particularly with Davies continuing to guide their development. Casey has long been known for how tightknit its players are - from the juniors right through to the seniors. The Cavs are aiming to have four Big V sides take to the court next season - the senior men and women, in addition to men’s and women’s youth league sides. Krug said Casey Basketball would apply to have Davies’ team elevated to Division 1 after its win. Stewart Baird’s Division 1 men’s side also clinched a well-earned grand final series berth against Warrnambool after finishing third in the standings. But the star-studded, experienced Seahawks group proved too hot for the Cavs to handle - winning the title in a 2-0 grand final series result.

This league truly super By Russell Bennett JUST about every NBA fan or basketball fan, more generally, is involved in yearly fantasy competitions where they “draft” their own teams and compete against their friends. But Pakenham Warriors Big V Youth League men’s coach Simo Pajdic has taken that to a new level and created his own actual league, featuring real players in real teams filled from a real draft. The South East Super League (SESL) - backed by major sponsor Ash Mason From Stockdale and Leggo in Pakenham - tips off at the new Officer Community Hub this Sunday. The inaugural season features six teams drafted by general managers, and local players, Cam Andre (Pakenham Pirates), Aaron Miles (Beaconsfield Mustangs), Tom Greer (Berwick Sharks), Lewis Newman (Cardinia Crocs), Tristan Blacka (Lakeside Vikings), and Pajdic (Officer Hornets). Blacka, who is also an assistant coach to Pajdic in the Warriors Youth League men’s set-up, said the competition was set up to fill in the gap of the Big V off-season. “Simo said it would be cool to do something of the nature of having a competition in the off-season with an NBA-style draft and where we could make trades,” Blacka said.

Lewis Newman, Aaron Miles, Simo Pajdic, Tom Greer, Tristan Blacka and Cam Andre are the inaugural 'general managers' of the South East Super League. 158969 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT “It was early in the Youth League season. We were discussing it and then it was put on the backburner, but we discussed it a bit more and over the past two months we got together and made it happen.” The six teams each have eight-man rosters, which includes free agent ‘signings’. Players from a wide range of Big V clubs are represented in the SESL. They include Pakenham, Western Port, Mornington, Dandenong, Sherbrooke, Keysborough and Melbourne. Each team will face each other twice throughout the season, with a playoff series to fol-
low. Games will be held every Sunday at the Officer hub in three different timeslots. Prizemoney will be awarded at the end of every season, with the winning team also holding the championship trophy. Aligned Leisure, who runs the Officer Hub, has thrown its support behind the league which is affiliated with the Pakenham and District Basketball Association (PDBA). The first game of the inaugural SESL season tips off this Sunday from 2pm with the Vikings taking on the Crocs.
Hallam girls keep that feeling By Nick Creely HALLAM Senior College has won its fifth SSV AFL Girls competition in just seven years, defeating Greensborough College last week at Highgate Reserve in Craigieburn. The final scoreline read Hallam 3.2(20) v Greensborough 1.4(10) in a game where pressure was paramount and scoring was difficult. As anticipated, both sides brought a ruthless attack on the football, in what was a match where every metre counted. The match was close all
day, and in a gruelling final quarter, the Hallam girls held off Greensborough, who were pressing and charging forward. Charis Ulu Pentiata was adjudged best afield for her terrific performance, while Emily Browning, Brooke Strulaart, Katelyn Cox and Kayla Germanier were solid contributors all game. The goal-scorers were Chauntae Coe, who chimed in with two vital goals and Kayla Germanier who booted one. Both players presented well in the forward line all day and provided a constant threat.
Hallam Senior College run an exciting and unique Sports Academy, promoting school connectedness through sport. The Hallam Senior College Sports Academy has developed professional relationships with a range of sporting entities, including the Dandenong Southern Stingrays, Basketball Victoria and the Melbourne Storm. There are still a few spots left in the girl’s academy for next year. Parents/students can contact Brett Alexander at alexander.brett.b@edumail.vic.gov. au for more details.

"Nominations for this year’s Cox Plate closed on Tuesday with 157 entries received, with champion mare Winx the current favourite on TAB fixed odds at $2.50.
“It would be outstanding to have Cox Plate calibre horses competing at Cranbourne and we hope the million-dollar bonus might entice leading trainers and owners to consider the TAB Cranbourne Cup as part of their campaign.” The TAB Cranbourne Cup delivers top quality racing and great fashion, entertainment and hospitality offerings.

Scorps full throttle By Nick Creely CASEY Scorpions have recovered from a slow start to register its first finals win in 11 attempts, crushing a disappointing Footscray line up by 70 points at Casey Fields on Saturday. The Scorpions sent an empathetic statement to the VFL competition, slamming on 13 goals to 2 in the second half and running all over the top of the Dogs, who faded away miserably. The Scorpions endured a scratchy start in which they trailed by 3 points at the first break, with errant goal kicking and a lack of clear and concise ball movement providing a headache for the coaching staff. It was a real Jekyll and Hyde game for the Scorpions, who despite being in the contest in the first half, played a style of football that lacked efficiency. However, as soon as the siren sounded to begin the third quarter, the Scorpions were lively, used the ball effectively and made it count on the scoreboard. As has been the case for the Scorpions in 2016, the AFL listed players led from the front and dismantled Footscray through sheer class. The usual suspects, Jack Grimes (26 disposals), Viv Michie (32), Matt Jones (33), Alex Neal-Bullen (31) and Dean Terlich (24), all won plenty of the football, while boom youngster Clayton Oliver showed off his inside class, accumulating 26 disposals and providing plenty of grunt. With key injuries and personnel leaving the Footscray cupboard slightly bare for the final, Casey eventually prevailed and showed just how far they have come as a football side. The Scorpions had 11 different goal kickers, including a 4 goal haul from Angus Scott and an impressive 3 goal performance from AFL listed youngster Sam Weidman. The 23rd player Aloysio Ferreria,

Spencer in an enthralling duel. With the Scorpions booking themselves a home preliminary finals berth against either Williamstown or Sandringham in two weeks’ time, they have put themselves in the box seat for their first VFL premiership since 1999.

AFL experience for Lyndhurst By Nick Creely THE Lyndhurst Lightning Football Netball club has celebrated their Gold Tier prize in the 2016 Fox Footy Club Rewards program in style, experiencing a day in the life of an AFL footballer. The club last month, who were announced as the 2016 Foxtel Community Club of the year, sent 40 club representatives to join the Carlton Football Club for an exclusive inner sanctum experience. This experience included a guided tour of Carlton’s Ikon Park facilities in the city, sitting in on coaching presentations before being taken on an elite training session under the watchful eye of senior coach Brendan Bolton and his coaching staff. They were certainly tested and given a real taste of the AFL environment, and the club thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The club is well renowned in the community as being an active volunteer at two local schools, helping teach and mentor primary school children about fun in sport. Lyndhurst has also been an active ambassador in other areas, supporting a range of charities, including Lace Up, The Fight against Breast Cancer, The Beehive Foundation and Livvi’s Place. Adding to this, the club has been highly active in aligning the AFL Indigenous Round with their own home and away match, which saw the club connect holistically with Elders of the
local Boomwurrung tribe. Multicultural awareness has also been a major area of interest for the club, with its partnership with Sri Lanka AFL in the International Cup a great experience for their local community. Adding to this wonderful achievement, on the last Tuesday some lucky Lyndhurst representatives toured the Fox Footy studios during a Tuesday night broadcast of AFL 360 and will then later this month send eight representatives to be the AFLCA’s guest of honour at their end of season dinner. Lyndhurst Football Netball Club President, Andrew King, was ecstatic at what his club had achieved this year, and was delighted at being recognised by the Fox Footy Club Rewards program. “Our club was ecstatic to have been recognised by the Fox Footy Club Rewards program and we loved the experience at Carlton’s facilities. For us, it is a testimony to a number of hard working club members who strive to create a stable and inclusive club," King said. The Fox Footy Club Rewards program has rewarded 50 local football clubs this year. The program has become an important recognition for football clubs in their active work in the local community, and Lyndhurst Football and Netball Club can be proud of their achievements during 2016.

OH how sweet is the taste of premiership success. Just ask The Southern United Football Club who claimed the PS4 WNPL Under 15 Girl’s competition on Saturday at Broadmeadows Valley Park. Matched up against the Heidelberg United Football Club, the game went down to the wire with the full time score sitting on 1-1. Extra time was allotted, and again, there was no winner as both sides failed to score. Fatigue kicked in, but the will to win never diminished. The tension was building as a penalty shootout decided the premiership. The Southern United girls eventually prevailed 4-3 in five penalty shootouts to claim the premiership in what has been a landmark season for the newly-formed club. So often grand finals save the best for last and this was certainly the case. Finals like these test you physically and mentally and the Southern United girls showed enormous strength. Rachel Bright was the single goal scorer for Southern United, with both goals scored after half time in what was a close and tense affair throughout. President Theresa Deas was thrilled with the result, lauding the hard work and professionalism of everyone involved within the club. “It is a wonderful achievement from the girls considering we didn’t have any playing or training facilities this year. “We have built a solid pathway for girls football and are extremely proud of this achievement," Deas said. Deas herself is a former football champion with the Matildas, winning the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 and going on to become an FFA Hall of Famer. Her experience and knowledge of the game has been a major benefactor in the development of the growing club. Southern United, a newly formed club that obtained a licence in the Victorian Women’s National Premier League this year, combines local clubs Casey Comets Football Club, Langwarrin Soccer Club, Mornington Soccer Club, Peninsula Strikers Junior Soccer Club and Seaford United Soccer Club. This competition involves girls competing in different age group brackets within the local cities of Casey, Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, Dandenong and Gippsland. The competition is played at a high standard and that has been on show with the impressive performances the Under 15 girls have been able to deliver on a weekly basis. “We are currently taking expressions of interest for 2017 so please don’t hesitate to contact the club," Deas added. The Women’s National Premier League is an ever-growing competition, and a more recognised pathway for elite junior girls to make it professionally. Southern United also had their Under 13 girls knocked out in an elimination final against Box Hill two weeks ago. The side, coached by former Matilda Deborah Nicholas, went down 0-1 in an entertaining contest.

The two flocks of Eagles, Cranbourne and Beaconsfield, are the two remaining nightmares in Berwick’s dream of back-to-back flags after both scored hard-fought victories. Cranbourne progressed to a remarkable sixth consecutive grand final with a three-point win over Berwick in Saturday’s second semifinal at Pakenham. Beaconsfield then set up a blockbuster Battle of the Creek against the Wickers with a gutsy 13-point victory over Narre in Sunday’s first semi-final at Berwick. There was nothing between Cranbourne and Berwick on Saturday, a late a shot at goal from Wickers’ forward Tim Gunn slipped wide, leaving the Eagles with the first seat at the big dance. Cranbourne coach Simon Goosey said his side will enjoy the build-up despite losing the last four grand finals on the trot. “We will enjoy the next two weeks, not fear it, and the things we identified last year, clearly our mindset - I’m really confident we’ve addressed those issues now,” Goosey said. “Since we played Berwick the first time (Round 5) our attitude has been spot on, and winning today allows us the time to work on what we need to work on. Last year was last year, after half time you could see we were gone mentally, but this year we’re better prepared for what’s to come.” Cranbourne’s much-vaunted midfield was on fire with Shaun
through the finals. “It’s getting a bit emotional; it’s hard to explain, because I love the group so much,” Evans began. “I sort of wish now I could keep on going but the club needs a change, the players are playing for me and their battling against the odds, so I couldn’t be prouder.” The Eagles led from go to whoa but had to survive a late surge from the Magpies in the final term. Two goals to Daniel Jackson, and another to Dean Kelly, cut the margin to just two points at the 13-minute mark before late goals to Nick McPherson and Lachie Modica put the imperial seal on a great victory. Troy McDermott was the star up forward for the winners with four goals, while youngsters Nathan Hopwood and Trent Stokoe, and champion ruckman Scott Meyer played key roles throughout the day. A promising season is now done and dusted for the Magpies, but Hayden Stagg with three goals, and Sam McLean, Jack Wheeler and Jackson can all hold their heads high in defeat. SEFNL SCOREBOARD
'When the going gets tough the tough get going.' It sums up Ryan Davey who played a great game for Picture: ROB CAREW Cranbourne against Berwick on Saturday. 158797 Marusic, Ryan Davey, Mat Fletcher and Max Gearon winning plenty of it, while Ryan Jones and Luke BeeHugo were their side’s only multiple goal-kickers with two. Defenders Dillon Bass, Jordy Bertrand and Michael Thompson did well to cover for the early loss
of Glenn Osborne, while Michael Boland was terrific in the ruck. Berwick had Ben Kearns and Mitch Johnson kick three, while Ash Smith and Jo West provided plenty of drive off back half. Berwick will take on Beaconsfield in this Saturday’s preliminary
final at Holm Park Reserve after the Eagles survived a bruising affair against Narre on Sunday. In his last season at the helm, Beaconsfield coach Clint Evans has his players all on board, with some quality youngsters playing some key roles in an emotion-charged run
Magpies keep dream alive into the finals By David Nagel NARRE Warren’s dream of backto-back A Grade premierships is just one step away from reality after the clinical Magpies overpowered Hampton Park, 50-35, in Saturday’s second semi-final at Pakenham. With midcourt-maestro Leigh Taylor looking on from the sidelines, and quality bookends like defender Adele Clydesdale and goaler Chloe Phillips warming up on court two, the Magpies still found a way to dominate a high quality opponent in the first half. The Magpies’ progression to Starling Road on Saturday 17 September was built on a strong defensive effort in the first half, allowing the normally potent Redbacks outfit just 14 goals in the first two quarters. Defenders Kara Hargrave (GD) and Tracey Dell (GK) can take a lot of the credit for the low scoring, but the willingness of the Magpies’ midcourt to work hard to shut down their opponents’ impact is hugely important. Players like Bec Potalej (C), Erin Clark (WD) and Demi Brettoner (WA) set the bar high for pressure, while Gabby Dwyer (GS) and Tayla Shannon (GA) benefit from equal ferocity going the other way. The Magpies rubber-stamped their dominance by winning every quarter, extending from four to seven to nine at the first three breaks, before finishing 15 goals ahead. Monalisa Groom (C) played a solid four quarters for the Redbacks, while Kim Coulson (GK) and Rania Waller (GD) did their best to stem the tide.
Hampton Park goaler Birgitta Nemaric looks for a way forward against Narre Warren on Saturday. The Picture: ROB CAREW Redbacks live to fight another day despite a 50-35 defeat. 158797 Beaconsfield has turned its form around, using some valuable lessons learnt from last week’s loss to Hampton Park to end Doveton’s season in Sunday’s first semi-final at Berwick. Just being prepared for the 6046 victory was the simple answer according to Eagles’ coach Simon O’Shanassy. “We haven’t been happy with our starts and we’ve put some of that down to the lack of intensity in our warm ups,” O’Shanassy said.
“We spoke about it last week that we need to be ready to go, and I thought our intensity was terrific from the start, it was our best fourquarter performance for the year.” One of the unique features of this game was that both teams went in with 15-year-old starting centres, Rylee Nelson for Beaconsfield up against Hayley Stewart from Doveton. Beaconsfield goalers Bianca Sanzaro (GS) and Andi Dickson (GA) were unstoppable, sharing the load beautifully, with Bianca scor-
ing 32 and Andi 28 of their team total. They benefitted greatly from the work of Nelson, Mel Davies (WA) and Zoe Mason (WD), while Dani Cameron (GK) and Kaela Hughes (GD) did a wonderful job on the dangerous Doveton duo of Rhani Samason (GS) and Shae Gee (GA). The Eagles have had a hugely successful season to this point in time, with nine teams (two in grand finals and seven to play in preliminary finals) remaining, the most of any club in SEFNL.

�� Reviews and news…
When the oomph counts By Ewan Kennedy FOR those drivers who feel that lots of performance isn’t quite enough BMW Australia is now importing the BMW M3 Competition sedan, and M4 Competition coupe and convertible. Our test week in the hottest BMW M3 sedan was an extremely enjoyable one. M3 Competition has even stronger engine performance, recalibrated steering, suspension and stability settings than the standard M3. Its springs are 15 per cent stiffer and the Adaptive M suspension has firmer damper settings across Comfort, Sport and Sport+ modes. Anti-roll bars and bushings are also changed to suit. The Active M Differential can lock the rear axle between a range of zero and 100 per cent. Forged, machine-polished starspoke 20-inch M light alloy wheels follow the design of the BMW M4 GTS competition car and carry Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres (265/30 R20 front, 285/30 R20 rear). Sourced from BMW Individual, the M3 Competition package has Shadow Line exterior trim. A black high-gloss finish highlights the BMW kidney grille, side gills, window trims and rear model badge. The quad tailpipes of the M sports exhaust system are also in black high-gloss. The wheels sit inside bulging wheel

Hot looks, hot engine: BMW's M3 Competition, built for the revhead. arches and the long bonnet features a power dome in its centre. The bulge is there to make space for the large intercooler. Inside are exclusive M leather trimmed seats with cut-outs to reduce weight. Woven BMW M stripes stitched into the seat belts add further allure to the interior. Powering the M3 Competition sedan is a highly tuned version of the M TwinPower Turbo 3.0-litre straightsix engine. It has an enhanced sports exhaust system and now produces 331kW, up 14 kW from the standard unit, peak torque remains as before at 550 Nm. With the seven-speed M Double Clutch transmission it gets to 100 km/h from rest in 4.0 seconds, you can’t help but think the engineers would have
loved to get it down into the three-second bracket. As with the standard M3 and M4 variants the Competition models have Extended smartphone connectivity; Navigation System Professional; Park Distance Control, front and rear; a16speaker harman/kardon sound system with DAB+ digital radio tuner; BMW ConnectedDrive with Intelligent Emergency Call, TeleServices, ConnectedDrive Services, Remote Services, Real-Time Traffic Information, Concierge Services and Internet access. As well has having superb active safety, the ability to avoid a crash, the BMW M3 Competition also has the company’s Active Crash Protection system. This activates a series of protective measures if it senses a crash is immi-

nent, including closing the windows and sunroof (if fitted), tightening the seat belts, and post-collision. There are IsoFix attachment points in the rear for child safety seats. We are all aware that today’s best automatic transmissions are better than humans at maximising acceleration with ultra-fast changes. But if you want to add your driving pleasure you can get, for no extra charge, a six-speed manual. Okay so it takes 0.2 seconds longer to get to 100, but who cares? Our review car had the automatic transmission, perhaps we will try for a manual next time. At low revs and speeds you do feel some turbo lag, but once that’s passed the M3 Competition is a stunner, with fast response. What BMW likes to call ‘trackhoned acoustics’ give the M3 all the right crackles and spits when driving in anything other than a very tame manner. We love it!
The dual-clutch gearbox can be a bit cranky at times at very low speeds in parking situations and the wide tyres can also add to the difficulty. If you can’t drive around problems like this you should not be buying a high-performance car… Handling is limpet-like thanks to the basic standard balance of the car and further aided by the excellent Competition features built into the suspension, steering and tyres. The feel through the steering is spot on, with just the right amount of power assistance. Comfort does suffer at times, which is hardly unexpected given the stiffer suspension items. Tyre noise is also a factor, but we’ve heard worse in other high-performance machines. Official fuel consumption of the BMW M3 is 8.3 litres per 100 kilometres. In real life we found ours using 10 to 12 litres per hundred kilometres under sensible daily driving, getting up into the high teens if you get properly stuck into it. Open road and motoring driving can bring it down to eight to nine litres range. BMW’s latest M3, the Competition variant will bring a smile to the faces of any keen driver, all the more so if they do decide to take it on track days and really put ‘competition’ into their lives in the true sense of the word.

All hail the first Mazda taxi BERWICK Mazda has just become the first Victorian dealer to sell a Mazda CX-9 taxi. The CX-9, operated by Emerald Ranges Taxis, has become the first in the state to be accredited by the Victorian Taxi Association. The seven-seat SUV has become a celebrity in its own right, becoming highly in demand across the Dandenong Ranges, Beaconsfield, Berwick, and surrounding areas. The reception has been positive with an influx of new clients favouring the vehicle’s comfort, leather
seats, wheelchair and luggage space, BOSE sound system and the added safety of Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring and safety cell structure. Proud owner taxi driver Tracey Owen said other taxi drivers have expressed interest in her Mazda taxi and its success and believes it is only a matter of time before more of the taxi community follows her lead. Berwick Mazda’s fleet specialist Marc Handley anticipates more CX-9 interest from businesses because of its prestige and safety features.
“Our CX-9 SUV is recognised for its safety value and luxurious features. “It’s becoming an essential vehicle for families and businesses looking for a car that has it all,” Mr Handley said. Book a test drive of the new CX-9 at Berwick Mazda, which is only two minutes from Fountain Gate and the Monash Freeway. Phone 8796 6222. Contact Emerald Ranges Taxis for a CX-9 taxi experience on 0498 368 399.
