CAFE TAKES TITLE WITH A TWIST Twisted Sista’s popularity with its customers has seen it voted the winner of the People’s Choice award. Sam and Martha Di Salvo launched the first Twisted Sista in Fountain Gate Shopping Centre in June 2011. “With Twisted Sista we wanted to create an original and authentic concept best described as a place to indulge the senses,” Ms Di Salvo said. The Twisted Sista idea was to create a unique twist on a modern cafe combined with a gelateria that would have customers instantly wanting more. The couple’s hard work has been recognised over the years with Twisted Sista winning seven Westfield retail excellence awards including the prestigious Best Retailer in Victoria. “Over the years this inspired us to push the boundaries of business to see what we were capable of,” Ms Di Salvo said. “Twisted Sista was born from a vision to create an atmosphere of fun and excitement with a menu based on the freshest ingredients delivered with exceptional personalised service. “We put everything we had into the business and worked harder than ever before. “We soon knew we had created a recipe for success and, with family at the heart of everything we do, we introduced our daughter Josie into the business. “Offering something new and unique in casual dining, the Twisted Sista brand became well recognised and our client base grew faster than we could have imagined. “Josie is now playing a vital role in expanding the brand and taking the

POWERING AHEAD TO SUCCESS TRADES AND CONSTRUCTION Sponsor

Winner Powerplant Project Services Finalists Elite Building Services, Insulgreen Solutions

Hallam electrical contractor Powerplant Project Services has been surging from strength to strength. The firm has major lighting design contracts on some of the state’s largest road projects, its staff list is ever-growing and recently it appointed its inaugural chief executive. Now, to add to the success, Powerplant has taken out Casey Cardinia Business Awards’ highest prize Business of the Year. Powerplant has been involved in “asset relocation and lighting design” for the Thompsons Road upgrade as well as designing lighting for the Monash Freeway between Pakenham and Tullamarine - except the city tunnels. Other projects include street lighting and asset relocation for the Mernda rail extension and highway upgrade in Traralgon. Powerplant’s staff has grown sixfold to more than 50 in the past five years. Last year it added more than 600 projects.

SUCCESS IS DRIVEN BY HAVING THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND HAVING THE RIGHT CULTURE…

Chief executive John Kelso said Powerplant was part of a growth area providing infrastructure and services for utilities - at a time when utilities were downsizing and outsourcing. “It’s an exciting time to come to the business,” Mr Kelso said. “We’re looking also at how to bring in new local talent, such as through traineeships, as a way of regenerating and building up new skills. “Success is driven by having the right people and having the right culture.” Mr Kelso, a former AusNet national services manager with 38 years in the utility sector, crossed to Powerplant because of its culture and the fact that it was “going somewhere”. He pointed to renewable solutions as

a possible new frontier. “Where I came from (in the utilities sector), they were doing quite a bit in trialling the renewables space. “We’re working hard to take these new technologies and to add those to the intelligent infrastructure solutions we give our clients.” Director Greg Plant used to work for Mr Kelso 25 years ago. “We’re looking to develop the business to best serve those infrastructure needs in this (south-east Melbourne) region and across the state. “We’re also considering new opportunities interstate. “But, despite this fantastic growth, we don’t lose sight of what’s important to people in this area.”

The current M1 widening project ranks as one of Powerplant’s biggest jobs, alongside its lighting design for 300 light poles in the recent Tullamarine Freeway widening. “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.” Other major local projects include Peninsula Link, Sladen Street, Ernst Wanke Road, Northey Road, Casey Fields BMX centre and Bunjil Place. Powerplant also lands electricity-line contracts for new housing estates, particularly in Casey. Mr Plant said 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.

PRESCRIPTION FOR SUCCESS Emerald Village Pharmacy has taken out the award for the region’s top retailer. Emerald Village Pharmacy is a community pharmacy offering a range of pharmaceutical services as well as specialising in beauty and complementary medicines. Customer service is a priority for business owner Louisa Lammers and her team. This dedication to customer service was never more apparent than in November 2015 when the pharmacy was gutted by fire. A blaze caused by an electrical fault took hold in the early hours of the morning on 1 November, gutting the building and destroying most of the stock. Just six days later the pharmacy was back on its feet in the most remarkable circumstances. The CFA was able to save valuable customer files allowing Ms Lammers and her staff to continue a prescription delivery service - crucial to many customers in Emerald and the surrounding district. They also set up a marquee and served customers from a spot on the footpath. At the time Ms Lammers said it was the resilience of her staff that allowed the business to continue operating after such a devastating blow. Quoted in the Pakenham Gazette in 2015, Ms Lammers said: “I’ve got the most amazing staff. In terrible circumstances, they’ve done everything that’s been asked of them. “I love living in Emerald. I’ve always loved it, this just confirms it.”

RAISE A GLASS FOR CANNIBAL HOSPITALITY Sponsor

Winner Cannibal Creek Vineyard Finalists Elevation at Emerald Restaurant and Bar, Settlers Run Golf and Country Club

Cannibal Creek Vineyard is the winner of this year’s Hospitality award. Husband and wife team Patrick and Kirsten Hardiker have run Cannibal Creek since 1997. The business took a giant step forward when the couple opened a French themed restaurant at Cannibal Creek in March. “For a long time we’ve been planning to do something like this - somewhere where people could sit and enjoy some food with their wine, and where we could showcase other Gippsland produce as well, not just our own,” Kirsten said. “We’ve got a full commercial kitchen, restaurant, and a cellar room downstairs - we hope to use that as another tasting area and a place for foodie workshops,” she said. There’s a deck for the summer time, a fireplace for the cooler months, and a private dining space for family groups or meetings. “The premium wines we make are really fantastic with food,” Kirsten said. “It’s giving that whole experience, I think. “I think people are looking for more these days, too. “They want to be able to go out and have a lunch and make a day of it. “We’ve been beautifying Cannibal Creek, which is our eastern boundary. “People can walk past the boundary and up to the creek. You can spend a day or half a day with the family.” The move is all about tapping into wine tourism. “The wine industry is quite challenging, it’s been very competitive,” Kirsten said. “It’s taken us a while to get to the

HORTICULTURE SERVICES HELP OTHERS TO GROW AND THRIVE

MANUFACTURING Sponsor

The winner of this year’s Manufacturing award is Powerplants Australia. Powerplants offers a wide variety of products and service to the horticultural industry, manufacturing its technologies and accessories at its Hallam headquarters. Director Carl van Loon said Powerplants Australia provided customers with innovative tailored solutions allowing owners and managers to “focus on growing your business, while we take care of all your service and maintenance requirements”. Powerplants Australia was born in 1994. “I was working for my dad and we had a plant nursery,” Mr van Loon said. “I used to do all this technical work for him - climate control systems and all that sort of stuff. “I was self-taught. “Whenever I was buying things, we were buying greenhouse equipment

from chicken shed manufacturers. “There wasn’t a proper horticulture industry. “You were buying stuff from people

who didn’t know anything about plants. “I realised there was a niche for it and started the business with a

couple of family members. “We gradually built it up from there. I had no intention whatsoever of getting into the horticulture industry. “I was going to be an engineer. Somehow it drew me back.” Today Powerplants Australia employs about 30 people and food production is the major part of the business. “We design and install and service systems for growing food - tomatoes, capsicums, cucumbers, eggplants, lettuce, leafy greens, herbs - basically anything that grows in the ground or grows in greenhouses, that’s our main target now. “People seem to be moving towards better and better quality and that’s what we’re all about - helping growers to produce really high quality crops without pesticides, without fungicides and sprays by giving the plants a really good climate.” Powerplants’ customers include last year’s Casey Cardinia Business of the Year Australian Fresh Leaf Herbs.

DENTIST KNOWS THE GREEN DRILL ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Sponsor

Winner Beaconsfield Dental Finalist Ten-Rose International Simmental Fleckvieh

Beaconsfield Dental has been recognised as the region’s most sustainable business for the third year in a row. The dental practice has dominated the Environmental Sustainability category since 2015, also winning in 2016 and now 2017. Beaconsfield Dental was established in 1988 by Dr Robert Panjkov. Mr Panjkov said the practice was proud of its green credentials. Beaconsfield Dental has 60 solar panels which are capable of generating up to 100 KWH in one day. Double glazing, full insulation, solar hot water, LED lighting, water tanks for the garden and toilet flush are standard features at Beaconsfield Dental. The garden has more than 500 indigenous plants to complement the surrounding Akoonah Park. Mr Panjkov said he had solar panels at his family home for years and so it was a natural progression to approach

business with an environmental focus from the beginning. “We have solar hot water and 60 solar panels which have a wireless device that displays the electricity generated, carbon dioxide and money saved. “Patients are regularly shown the wireless device to educate them as it is kept in one of the treatment rooms. “The design of the building includes low-allergy paint, double glazing, LED lighting and wall, ceiling and floor insulation. “The water tanks have a capacity of 10,000 litres which are fed into the toilets and the 500-plant indigenous garden drip-sprinkler system.

“I’m also thinking about getting an electric charger port for electric cars in the car park. “We currently have about four or five water tanks and I’d like to double that and maybe get a filtration system so that we could be self-sufficient from the water supply. “We’ve encouraged customers to take it upon themselves to think more about the environment, too.” Beaconsfield Dental also uses biodegradable dental products and environmentally friendly cleaning and kitchen supplies, including a compost bin. Mr Panjkov said staff were educated

about recycling paper and encouraged to reduce printing by viewing documents on the computer. “We do it to be self-sufficient. Solar electricity generates a lot of power and it saves money. “It also gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling that you’re doing the right thing. It’s nice to leave a legacy,” he said. “The dentist isn’t everybody’s favourite thing, so we try to make it a fun place and to make people feel comfortable. “We’re always learning things about the new technological advances in renewable energy.”

TRAVEL AGENTS HAVE PACKED A LOT IN The winner of the Tourism award for the second year in a row is Safir Tours. Nayaz Noor and Suchitra Reddy are the CEO and director respectively of the Berwick based Safir Tours and what they’ve accomplished in just four-and-ahalf years in Australia is impressive. Between them, they have more than 60 years of experience in the travel industry having both spent over three decades with tour operators and travel agencies in the United States, the Middle East and India. But the latest chapter of their story has brought them to Australia - where they had no family and few connections until a few short years ago. But the challenge of setting up their business in a completely new evironment is one they’ve truly excelled at. Safir Tours is a destination management company that customises all its itineraries based on the requirements of its clients. Born in India, Nayaz and Suchitra predominantly work with Indian clients from their home country, the Middle East and the United States who are looking to travel to Australia. “We started operating on 1 March 2013,” Nayaz said. “We were wondering when we were going to get our first client. Our first client was an Indian student studying in Adelaide whose parents were going to visit Australia. “She wanted things set up for them here to visit Sydney, the Gold Coast, and Cairns, so we put things together.” Nayaz and Suchitra were initially excited, yet somewhat sceptical, when

setting up their business in Australia. “It was all new to us - the whole business environment in Australia is very different to what we were used to in India or the US,” Nayaz said. “It took us a little bit of time to understand how it works. We found it easier than doing things in India because people are friendly here - they’re honest

and they’re straightforward. They’re more direct. “The Indian market is very, very complicated. It’s very fragmented nothing is set in stone and even the wealthiest of travellers will check with five different agencies and check everywhere online to try and get the lowest price.

“When most people in India get to know us, they know that once they send their clients to Safir Tours they won’t have to worry. They can sleep easy.” The company’s strength lies in its hands-on approach, the worldwide experience of its founders, and the strong relationship it holds with its partners and suppliers.

Ideas Ministry specialises in making brands do the selling for its clients. Natalie Birch is the creative director of the Casey-based business. On her website Ms Birch describes herself as an “ideasmith”. “We combine our great ideas with expert skills in graphic design and marketing and collaborate with other creative professionals like photographers, web designers, copywriters and printers to offer a complete branding solution which reels in your dream customers,” Ms Birch said. “Anyone can design, but it takes personality to come up with great ideas. “At Ideas Ministry we like to find what’s different about you, and use that to your best advantage

across brand development and marketing. Draw a square and we’ll think outside it. “Where many designers will simply take your design brief and follow it, we go a step further and help you to create and fulfil the brief. “We research your industry, market, target customers and competitors, so that we’re starting every project with a really sound idea of what we’re doing, and can deliver you premium results the first time.” Ms Birch has immersed herself in graphic design and creative art for more than 15 years. She was taught by the same lecturer who taught children’s book illustrator Graeme Base of Animalia fame. “We see things differently at Ideas Ministry. Anyone can design, but it takes personality to come up with great ideas. “We’re boundary pushers. Alternative explorers. Your business think tank,” she said.

TAKING HEART FROM JOB OPPORTUNITIES SOCIAL ENTERPRISE Sponsor

Winner Waverley Industries Finalists Kare ONE, Casey and District Multiple Birth Association

Waverley Industries’ reputation as a business with a heart has been firmly cemented with its third award in the Social Enterprise category. Waverley Industries has made this category its own, winning in 2015, 2016 and, now, 2017. The not-for-profit organisation commenced operations in November 1984 with the aim of providing employment opportunities for people with special needs, in particular intellectually disabled adults.

THEIR WORK ENRICHES THEIR LIVES AND BUILDS THEIR SELFESTEEM…

It’s always a team effort at Waverley Industries.

The business employs more than 250 disabled adults at its Waverley Industries Notting Hill site and at its new packaging factory in Star Crescent, Hallam. Waverley Industries opened its 4000-square metre factory in Hallam in 2016, creating 40 jobs for people with disabilities. Director and chief executive Frank Cresia said the expansion enabled the business to develop its accredited training programs to neighbouring special schools.

“We’ve created a lot of new jobs,” he said. “Our success is our people. “That’s our essence and our growth - people with disabilities.” Across its Hallam and Notting Hill locations, workers specialise in packaging solutions, assembly work, manufacturing, mail outs and catering. Mr Cresia said that Waverley Industries was proud to play an important role in the lives of its employees.

“Their work enriches their lives and builds their self-esteem, knowing that they are producing things that we, as a community, need,” he said. “They still receive their disability support pension, so working with us provides a supplement to that.” Waverley Industries makes it a priority to reach out to special needs schools to provide employment opportunities. Working with Waverley Industries

since 2001, Mr Cresia has seen it develop into a thriving business. Assisted by a team of hardworking volunteers, he said the business provided its customers with more than just high-quality products and services at competitive prices. “We’ve gone from an organisation on its knees to a thriving, sustainable, business model,” he said. “Customers see that they’re providing job opportunities for people that wouldn’t otherwise be working.”

YMCA has been an integral part of the City of Casey for the past 19 years and has been recognised as this year’s winner of the Health, Education and Well-being award. YMCA Casey manages the operations of six leisure facilities on behalf of the City of Casey. These facilities include Casey ARC, Casey RACE, Endeavour Hills Leisure Centre, Berwick Leisure Centre, Casey Indoor Leisure Centre and Doveton Pool in the Park. Each facility offers the community a wide variety of services and programs including but not limited to swimming lessons, recreational swimming, health clubs, group fitness classes, childcare, gymnastics and stadium sports. In September the organisation celebrated 100 days of operation of the City of Casey’s new state-of-the-art sports complex, Casey Stadium. The YMCA-managed centre underwent an $18.3 million redevelopment, relaunching to the local community in June with 10 multipurpose courts including show court seating with a capacity of more than 1000 people. It now has the capability to host major events and, over the initial period, the YMCA has worked closely with a range of stakeholders including Casey Basketball Association and Casey Netball Association to showcase the facility.

YMCA Centre Manager Ian Jenkins is delighted with what has been delivered at the facility within a short period of time and predicted significant growth. “The interest in the facility has been incredible. It truly is a state-of-the-art facility and the community have been

very supportive and excited by the venue,” he said. “We continue to increase our reach with new sports and community activities being added to our programming in the coming months.” Inclusive programming has also been an early success with the introduction of a range of new sports and activities

aimed at providing opportunities to people of all abilities. Casey Stadium will undergo further redevelopment with stage two to see a dedicated gymnastic hall and indoor cricket area added to the facility. Work will commence in 2018 and see the YMCA invest $780,000 into the project.

‘Monster’ jailed By Cam Lucadou-Wells

The new Golf Alltrack.

On wings of eagles ‘Lady Uppity Crust’ appeared lodged in the ‘giant eagle’ talons of Casey’s Bunjil Place during opening celebrations on 28 October. See more about the region’s spectacular civic-arts precinct on pages 3 and 12. 174129 Picture: ROB CAREW

Darran Scott directing on the set of his film Spirit of the Game. “They form a fear that others will disbelieve them and the feeling that it’s their fault.” In a victim impact statement, a mother who had voiced her concerns about Scott’s behaviour said she was ostracised by many fellow church members and friends. She was labelled as “mentally unwell” for airing her suspicions. Another parent spoke of bearing a “heavy burden” for allowing her children to stay with “this monster”. Judge Smallwood said Scott still had the support of his wife and members of his church - though the church itself had since ex-communicated him. Scott recently reported to a psychologist that as a child he was sexually abused by neighbouring boys and had been sexually assaulted by soldiers while in the Army. He was jailed for up to 10 years, with a minimum non-parole period of seven. He will be listed on the state’s sexual offenders’ register for life. One of the victims told Star News that jail will “never, ever be enough” for Scott. “It helps. At least he’s not out there harming other people. “I guess it’s a sense of validation.” The victim described Scott as a “disgusting human” who was able to fool a lot of people. “I don’t think he’ll ever understand the consequences and the harm to many, many people through his actions.”

A sexual predator who preyed on 11 boys at football clubs and a church in the South-East has been jailed for a minimum of seven years. Darran Scott, 53, groomed boys as young as 11 while he was a junior football coach and Mormon church member, Judge John Smallwood said during sentencing at Latrobe Valley County Court on 27 October. “I can only describe you ... as a sexual predator who, basically, got away with it for 25 years.” Scott - also known as Darran Page - pleaded guilty to 15 sexual offences as well as perverting the course of justice and four firearms offences but showed little remorse, the judge said. The indecent acts happened during camping and surfing trips as well as during visits and overnight stays at Scott’s home over a period of nearly 25 years since 1990, the court heard. He plied his victims with alcohol, marijuana, sleeping pills and pornography. “Don’t tell anyone. It’ll ruin me,” Scott allegedly told one of the victims. It “put the lie” to Scott’s claims that he did not know he was doing anything wrong, the judge said. Scott denied some of the allegations when he was interviewed by police in 2005, the judge noted. The accused didn’t seek treatment at that stage but later sexually abused five further victims. Scott’s letter written to one of his victims shortly before sentencing was “self-pitying”, Judge Smallwood said. “You’ve ruined lives,” the judge said. “The circumstances of all this offending over such a long period of time and the damage you did to so many lives can only be viewed as disgusting, in my view.” Victims typically lost their childhood and their confidence. They felt anger, shame, became anti-social, their education disrupted and they found intimate relationships difficult, the court heard. “They wondered why you did it to them and questioned their own sexuality,” Judge Smallwood said.

It’s not too often a council can pull off an infrastructure spend of well over $100 million and not attract a chorus of disapproval. At the weekend, Casey Council did pretty much that as it unveiled the new Bunjil Place development in Narre Warren. The ambitious $125 million project - the largest undertaken by a local government body in the nation - has had its detractors. That was early on though and they were mostly the usual suspects. A huge majority of the thousands of people who filed through the new building over the opening weekend activities left open-mouthed and impressed. Casey mayor Sam Aziz referred to Bunjil Place’s “soon to be award-winning design”, which architect Richard Francis said was based on the wings of an eagle and the organic melding of many pathways underneath. The complex has a theatre, art gallery, library, entertainment spaces and council offices - all state of the art. It is spectacular, yet functional, and is being touted as an asset for not only Casey, but Melbourne’s South-East and beyond. It gives to the arts and culture community what the equally ambitious Casey Fields has given to the sporting community. Casey is by far the state’s largest council and, as such, has a rates base that allows it to pull off ambitious projects like these. Councils often cop a bad rap - sometimes deservedly so - but councillors and staff under CEO Mike Tyler deserve a round of applause for pulling this one off. Garry Howe

CAFE TAKES TITLE WITH A TWIST PEOPLE’S CHOICE Sponsor

Winner Twisted Sista, Upper Level Fountain Gate Finalists Enhance Yoga, Village Way Cafe

Twisted Sista’s popularity with its customers has seen it voted the winner of the People’s Choice award. Sam and Martha Di Salvo launched the first Twisted Sista in Fountain Gate Shopping Centre in June 2011. “With Twisted Sista we wanted to create an original and authentic concept best described as a place to indulge the senses,” Ms Di Salvo said. The Twisted Sista idea was to create a unique twist on a modern cafe combined with a gelateria that would have customers instantly wanting more. The couple’s hard work has been recognised over the years with Twisted Sista winning seven Westfield retail excellence awards including the prestigious Best Retailer in Victoria. “Over the years this inspired us to push the boundaries of business to see what we were capable of,” Ms Di Salvo said. “Twisted Sista was born from a vision to create an atmosphere of fun and excitement with a menu based on the freshest ingredients delivered with exceptional personalised service. “We put everything we had into the business and worked harder than ever before. “We soon knew we had created a recipe for success and, with family at the heart of everything we do, we introduced our daughter Josie into the business. “Offering something new and unique in casual dining, the Twisted Sista brand became well recognised and our client base grew faster than we could have imagined. “Josie is now playing a vital role in expanding the brand and taking the

Welcome to Bunjil of joy By Cam Lucadou-Wells As a sign of endorsement, Casey residents “voted with their feet” at the opening of Narre Warren’s brand-new civic-arts space Bunjil Place, says mayor Sam Aziz. More than 35,000 flocked to the opening festival at the $125 million precinct’s theatres, library, gallery, cafe and plaza on 28 and 29 October - seven times exceeding the council’s projections, Cr Aziz said. Residents had expressed “tremendous joy” at the spectacular facilities. “It’s going to be the talking point of the South-East for many decades to come,” Cr Aziz said. “People are walking out of the library saying they want to live there. They don’t want to leave the place.” His message to residents was: “We’ve built it and now we hand it over to you. “Please come and enjoy it as often as you can because it’s there for you.” The council’s courage to commit to the biggest municipal council project in the state’s history had been vindicated, he said. It was delivered before time and under budget, with the project to be paid off within nine years. “The planning behind it was second-tonone.” In upcoming events, the library will be officially opened by Local Government Minister Marlene Kairouz on 3 November and Casey’s first council meeting at Bunjil Place will take place on 9 November. The project was partly funded by the Federal Government’s $10 million grant and a State Government grant of $750,000 for the library. Cr Aziz didn’t wish to “slap the hand” of successive state governments for not contributing more to the regional project. “We lobbied hard for the state and federal

governments ... (regardless) we have been able to successfully deliver the project in our own right.” He forecast Bunjil Place as being “10 per cent” of Casey Council’s vision to be a Smart City and Australia’s most liveable city. As part of that, the council has planned a $4 billion wish-list for roads, public transport, services and infrastructure ahead of next year’s State Election. La Trobe Federal MP Jason Wood congratulated Casey Council in a video message with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in Canberra that was played to Gala Dinner guests on Thursday evening. The exhibition space could showcase some of the region’s famous artists such as Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton as well as its contemporary creatives, Mr Wood said. Mr Turnbull congratulated Mr Wood for his

“I hope that the fee structure will be reasonable and allow all local groups, not just the well-to-do the opportunity to use Bunjil Place.“ Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said the State Government’s library grant was the largest amount available in the Living Libraries Infrastructure Fund. “The new library will feature state-of-theart facilities and will be a wonderful asset and encourage more opportunities for participation in this community.” South-Eastern Metropolitan MP Inga Peulich said she’d comment on the project at the end of the week. “My focus will be entirely on trying to defeat the government’s euthanasia bill (this week),” Ms Peulich said. Gembrook MP Brad Battin did not respond prior to deadline.

“advocacy and passion for your community” in securing federal funding for Bunjil Place. “It will bring together the extraordinary talent in your community,” Mr Turnbull told viewers. “We’re proud to say Bunjil Place is your place.” Narre Warren South State MP Judith Couacaud Graley said she hoped that the project wouldn’t cause ratepayers financial pain. “The City of Casey has been adamant that they could fund the construction of Bunjil Place through a combination of savings, a loan and funding from the Commonwealth, so I would hope there will be no attempts to raise rates in the coming years.” Ms Graley said she’d been vocal on the need for community meeting and event spaces in Casey.

Casey’s residents will soon discover the new arts hub and council offices after Bunjil Place’s opening festival on 27 and 28 October. The $125 million precinct boasts massive features such as a three-storey library, 800-seat theatre, a multi-purpose studio space with retractable seating, a function centre and art gallery. Aside from the overwhelming scale, there is plenty of thoughtful detail. Here are some of the less well-known features of Bunjil Place: War memorial grove The Narre Warren war memorial - including its historic marble monuments - has been relocated from outside the old council offices to Bunjil Place. The pillars are fixed in a small bluestone amphitheatre, the words ‘We Will Remember Them’ blasted with red sand and inscribed into its floor.

On one of the marble pillars are a series of Morse Code dots-and-dashes, spelling ‘Lest We Forget’. The holes will become homes for red poppies during Anzac and Remembrance Day ceremonies. Public TV screen A giant public screen will broadcast news, sports and family-friendly movies - as well as the plaza’s live entertainment - to the community plaza all day, every day. The screen can be rotated 180-degrees to form a backdrop to ceremonies at the war memorial.

POWERING AHEAD TO SUCCESS TRADES AND CONSTRUCTION Sponsor

Winner Powerplant Project Services Finalists Elite Building Services, Insulgreen Solutions

Hallam electrical contractor Powerplant Project Services has been surging from strength to strength. The firm has major lighting design contracts on some of the state’s largest road projects, its staff list is ever-growing and recently it appointed its inaugural chief executive. Now, to add to the success, Powerplant has taken out Casey Cardinia Business Awards’ highest prize Business of the Year. Powerplant has been involved in “asset relocation and lighting design” for the Thompsons Road upgrade as well as designing lighting for the Monash Freeway between Pakenham and Tullamarine - except the city tunnels. Other projects include street lighting and asset relocation for the Mernda rail extension and highway upgrade in Traralgon. Powerplant’s staff has grown sixfold to more than 50 in the past five years. Last year it added more than 600 projects.

SUCCESS IS DRIVEN BY HAVING THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND HAVING THE RIGHT CULTURE…

Chief executive John Kelso said Powerplant was part of a growth area providing infrastructure and services for utilities - at a time when utilities were downsizing and outsourcing. “It’s an exciting time to come to the business,” Mr Kelso said. “We’re looking also at how to bring in new local talent, such as through traineeships, as a way of regenerating and building up new skills. “Success is driven by having the right people and having the right culture.” Mr Kelso, a former AusNet national services manager with 38 years in the utility sector, crossed to Powerplant because of its culture and the fact that it was “going somewhere”. He pointed to renewable solutions as

a possible new frontier. “Where I came from (in the utilities sector), they were doing quite a bit in trialling the renewables space. “We’re working hard to take these new technologies and to add those to the intelligent infrastructure solutions we give our clients.” Director Greg Plant used to work for Mr Kelso 25 years ago. “We’re looking to develop the business to best serve those infrastructure needs in this (south-east Melbourne) region and across the state. “We’re also considering new opportunities interstate. “But, despite this fantastic growth, we don’t lose sight of what’s important to people in this area.”

The current M1 widening project ranks as one of Powerplant’s biggest jobs, alongside its lighting design for 300 light poles in the recent Tullamarine Freeway widening. “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.” Other major local projects include Peninsula Link, Sladen Street, Ernst Wanke Road, Northey Road, Casey Fields BMX centre and Bunjil Place. Powerplant also lands electricity-line contracts for new housing estates, particularly in Casey. Mr Plant said 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.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… Rown trip from Little River Television personality Catriona Rowntree hosted Friday night’s Casey Cardinia Business Awards. Making herself available for hosting duties far from her Geelong home on a Friday night was not lost on Beaconsfield dentist Robert Panjkov who told her admiringly: “You’ve come a long way from Little River to the Cranny Turf Club”.

Touched by son’s praise As a mother of two boys Catriona Rowntree was visibly touched by the glowing tribute Raymond Staindl paid to his mother. Joanne Staindl, the founder of best Home Based Business winner Tour Local, was hosting a tour group and couldn’t attend the ceremony. Ray said that he admired his mum’s work ethic adding that she was his “inspiration”. Hand on her heart, Catriona said any mother would be proud to have a son speak of her in such a glowing way.

Former Casey councillor Mick Morland accepts a thumping federal grant of $10 million for Bunjil Place back in 2015.

Mick’s contribution acknowledged

Smell the mothballs

Host Catriona Rowntree was impressed with Star News Group's coverage of the Casey Cardinia Business Awards. She held up a copy of the souvenir publication handed out at the end of the night, saying the Star team must have been very busy pulling it together behind the scenes.

Heartburn over Bunjil Catriona Rowntree spent time introducing herself to different sections of the audience between her official on-stage hosting duties. She had a good chat with Casey Mayor Sam Aziz about Bunjil Place, which was officially opened on the weekend. Later when she spied him ignoring the bottles of wine on his table and opting for a glass of milk she quipped: “When you’ve spent $125 million you might get a bit of heartburn”.

Now for the Middle East

The building of Bunjil Place was a nice change of pace for construction company Multiplex. Regional managing director for Victoria Graham Cottam told guests at an official launch event last Thursday night that the company relished the challenge of its eagle-inspired design. “We do a lot of vanilla - mainly apartments,“ he explained. “This one is a bit more hokey-pokey, or even strawberry.“

Waverley Industries, which provides employment for people with special needs, took out the Social Enterprise category for the third year in a row. Client Kevin McAlpine stole the show when he took to the stage to accept the award. Kevin was almost more excited about Casey YMCA’s win in the Health, Education and Well-being category than he was about Waverley Industries’ gong. Kevin told the audience that his sister attended a YMCA-run centre and he thought they were doing a great job and the award was well deserved.

Adam Davey, the owner of winning Pakenham business Davey Marine, shouted his whole team tickets to the business awards, joking that many of them had been forced to dig out long-neglected suits from the back of their cupboards for the occasion. “You can’t smell the mothballs,” host Catriona Rowntree assured them from the stage.

It was nice that former Casey mayor Mick Morland was given due recognition during the opening festivities at Bunjil Place. Mick, who was killed when hit by a car on a walk earlier this year, was turned the first sod for the project when mayor and also accepted a cheque for $10 million from the Federal Government back in 2015. Wife Kay and their daughter Rebecca Sanders were at an official launch function last Thursday night, where his contribution was acknowledged several times. Kay was fine throughout the night, but did break down when Jonathon Welch of Choir of Hard Knocks fame launched into an impromtu tribute after leading the Voices of Casey Choir through a performance in the theatre. “I wasn’t expecting that one,“ Kay said. “It’s lovely he’s being remembered though.“

PRESCRIPTION FOR SUCCESS RETAIL Sponsor

Winner Emerald Village Pharmacy Finalists Framing to a T Framers and Designers, Davey Marine

Emerald Village Pharmacy has taken out the award for the region’s top retailer. Emerald Village Pharmacy is a community pharmacy offering a range of pharmaceutical services as well as specialising in beauty and complementary medicines. Customer service is a priority for business owner Louisa Lammers and her team. This dedication to customer service was never more apparent than in November 2015 when the pharmacy was gutted by fire. A blaze caused by an electrical fault took hold in the early hours of the morning on 1 November, gutting the building and destroying most of the stock. Just six days later the pharmacy was back on its feet in the most remarkable circumstances. The CFA was able to save valuable customer files allowing Ms Lammers and her staff to continue a prescription delivery service - crucial to many customers in Emerald and the surrounding district. They also set up a marquee and served customers from a spot on the footpath. At the time Ms Lammers said it was the resilience of her staff that allowed the business to continue operating after such a devastating blow. Quoted in the Pakenham Gazette in 2015, Ms Lammers said: “I’ve got the most amazing staff. In terrible circumstances, they’ve done everything that’s been asked of them. “I love living in Emerald. I’ve always loved it, this just confirms it.”

The winning team at Emerald Village Pharmacy.

WE AIM TO ENSURE EACH CUSTOMER RECEIVES PRODUCTS AND ADVICE TO ENCOURAGE A POSITIVE HEALTH OUTCOME…

That professional service and ‘can do’ attitude obviously impressed the judges of this year’s awards. Pharmacy assist Gabby D’Arcy said the Emerald Village Pharmacy took pride in assisting its customers by offering services such as blood pressure

monitoring, medication reviews and a medicine packing service. In 2015 Ms D’Arcy was nominated as a state finalist for the Pharmacy Assistant of the Year Award. “We aim to ensure each customer receives products and advice to

encourage a positive health outcome,” Ms D’Arcy said. “Our staff have vast experience in all areas of health and wellbeing including diabetes, asthma, vitamins, make-up and specialty skin care products.”

Winner Cannibal Creek Vineyard Finalists Elevation at Emerald Restaurant and Bar, Settlers Run Golf and Country Club

Cannibal Creek Vineyard is the winner of this year’s Hospitality award. Husband and wife team Patrick and Kirsten Hardiker have run Cannibal Creek since 1997. The business took a giant step forward when the couple opened a French themed restaurant at Cannibal Creek in March. “For a long time we’ve been planning to do something like this - somewhere where people could sit and enjoy some food with their wine, and where we could showcase other Gippsland produce as well, not just our own,” Kirsten said. “We’ve got a full commercial kitchen, restaurant, and a cellar room downstairs - we hope to use that as another tasting area and a place for foodie workshops,” she said. There’s a deck for the summer time, a fireplace for the cooler months, and a private dining space for family groups or meetings. “The premium wines we make are really fantastic with food,” Kirsten said. “It’s giving that whole experience, I think. “I think people are looking for more these days, too. “They want to be able to go out and have a lunch and make a day of it. “We’ve been beautifying Cannibal Creek, which is our eastern boundary. “People can walk past the boundary and up to the creek. You can spend a day or half a day with the family.” The move is all about tapping into wine tourism. “The wine industry is quite challenging, it’s been very competitive,” Kirsten said. “It’s taken us a while to get to the

for other things to do. “We have a selection of wines from other vineyards in Gippsland, so we’re drawing people down to these other venues as well. “The more we offer in the area, it will become a destination.”

Kirsten and Patrick serve a range of their own wines in the restaurant.

Grim prospects for street By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Inspector Alison Crombie with local residents at the skid-marked Prospect Hill Road turnbowl. 174135 smoke from a series of burnouts. Meanwhile, two boys have been outed by a dog-walking resident while tagging graffiti under the footbridge at the road’s park. At first they rush away from Insp Crombie and the adults, crossing the footbridge to the other side of Monash Freeway. Then they summon the courage to inch their way back, detouring for a swing at the spanking new playground. “The old one got burnt to the ground two years ago,” says a resident.

While the group’s attention wavers, the boys then scurry home like “little mice” as a witness put it. One of the boys walks back outside. “Stop graffitying!” Insp Crombie says. “We know who you are.” The boy replies: “I don’t know anything about it.” Then there’s a curious encounter with a man who parks his heavy vehicle. He asks if the group has seen his stray poodle. He reckons the drivers convene on an Endeavour Hills-based Facebook group, though

1176285-PB11-15

The evidence is irrefutable. Inspector Alison Crombie, who oversees the region’s traffic police, sees the swirls of heavy tyre marks in the turnbowl at Prospect Hill Drive, Narre Warren. She is meeting with exasperated residents who have been plagued by hoons for the past 10 years. They describe the close-calls such as when a lout’s car crashed through a neighbour’s backyard fence. Then there are the drug deals, the loud smoky burnouts, the romps in cars and the incinerated stolen vehicles and piles of shredded tyres. Residents tell Insp Crombie they were “dispirited” after years of reporting the lawlessness to police. “It happens day and night,” a resident tells her. “We’re over it. It’s got worse.” Almost on cue, a green sports ute squeals its tyres as it drives around a corner 50 metres away from Insp Crombie. She has a chat to the driver of a Holden sports vehicle who hasn’t moved from the dead-end for the past 30 minutes since she arrived. What residents want is to close off part of the road with bollards to stop hoons parking at the turnbowl or tearing up the adjoining park. Insp Crombie agrees - a combination of posts and concrete bollards across the road and nature strips would be a “relatively inexpensive” solution. Police are meeting with VicRoads and Casey Council to work out possible changes to the road. Insp Crombie said she’d contribute her observations. Six nights before the meeting, nearby households were choked with burnt-rubber

Winner Powerplants Australia Finalists Successful Endeavours, MGR Security Doors

HORTICULTURE SERVICES HELP OTHERS TO GROW AND THRIVE The winner of this year’s Manufacturing award is Powerplants Australia. Powerplants offers a wide variety of products and service to the horticultural industry, manufacturing its technologies and accessories at its Hallam headquarters. Director Carl van Loon said Powerplants Australia provided customers with innovative tailored solutions allowing owners and managers to “focus on growing your business, while we take care of all your service and maintenance requirements”. Powerplants Australia was born in 1994. “I was working for my dad and we

had a plant nursery,” Mr van Loon said. “I used to do all this technical work for him - climate control systems and all that sort of stuff. “I was self-taught. “Whenever I was buying things, we were buying greenhouse equipment from chicken shed manufacturers. “There wasn’t a proper horticulture industry.

“You were buying stuff from people who didn’t know anything about plants. “I realised there was a niche for it and started the business with a couple of family members. “We gradually built it up from there. I had no intention whatsoever of getting into the horticulture industry. “I was going to be an engineer. Somehow it drew me back.”

Today Powerplants Australia employs about 30 people and food production is the major part of the business. “We design and install and service systems for growing food - tomatoes, capsicums, cucumbers, eggplants, lettuce, leafy greens, herbs - basically anything that grows in the ground or grows in greenhouses, that’s our main target now. “People seem to be moving towards better and better quality and that’s what we’re all about - helping growers to produce really high quality crops without pesticides, without fungicides and sprays by giving the plants a really good climate.” Powerplants’ customers include last year’s Casey Cardinia Business of the Year Australian Fresh Leaf Herbs.

Victorian Police Minister Lisa Neville has grossly overstated the case for a drug injecting room trial in North Richmond to the Herald Sun, see “Shake-up in war on drugs", Tuesday, 31 October, by claiming “laws tackling organised crime and dealers would help stop the tragic impact on families". And that tough new penalties will now impact on the drug trade. And that a two-year trial for a heroin injecting room in North Richmond, based on the Kings Cross model is evidence-based. Well I don’t know what evidence Daniel Andrews and Lisa Neville have looked at, but I believe that neither of them have had any firsthand experience with addicts. Drug and alcohol addicted people are people who have lost all their self-respect. They

The spouses and families of addicts often experience violence in their home. Drug injecting rooms are not about changing the behaviour of addicts. They are about facilitating heroin addiction. Addicts need to be provided with incentives to participate in goal-based detoxification programs that can restore their self-respect.

Addicts need to be connected with counsellors who can help them regain their selfrespect. But while the Victorian Government can find $2 million for its senior ministers to spend on overseas junkets (see “Travel bill hits $2m luxury fare for MPs", SHS, 29 October) it cannot find money to employ qualified drug and alcohol counsellors who are unemployed. John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

RAY’S SAY

On 25 October, The Berwick Cranbourne News Facebook Page shared a story of a renewed push being made to increase public car parking at Cranbourne railway station. Casey Resident and Ratepayers Association president Arvo Talvik said chronic overcrowding of railway car parking at Cranbourne was “out of control”. He said people could not get a car park after 7am and something desperately needed to be done. The story sparked some concerns from readers. Here is how they reacted online: Judie Hedrick: All of the above and duplicate the darn train line from Dandenong! Kellie Banks: 100 per cent yes to an extension. V-Line/Metro would need to improve a lot before more parking went in- better road maintenance of their private road, safe pedestrian access, and proper intersection with lights at Camms Road. Judie Hedrick: Cranbourne - the poor cousin, as always! Robert Wingrave: Didn’t Bracks promise to extend the line when he was elected? Steven Breen: I really don’t know here this councillor gets off? Really now? If councillors weren’t in the developers' pockets developing every available land in sight, then we would not be in this position. Estates, and more estates are being built everywhere in Casey. More land being cut up meaning more rates and more developer levies.

CLEAN UP HORSE MANURE THE FAST, EASY WAY

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Narre Warren man has been convicted and ordered to do community work after punching a nightclub patron five times in the face while in a drunken rage. Kurt Hoareau, 23, struck the victim at Empire nightclub in Narre Warren in the early hours of 12 November after telling the victim to “f*** off” as the victim filmed next to him. The victim says he told Hoareau to “suck my d***”, police prosecutor Senior Constable Jaimie Jeffs told Dandenong Magistrates Court on 30 October. The victim said he was then punched five times “really hard” in a flurry of uppercuts and lefts and rights. He suffered a deep laceration to his right eye, a chipped tooth and a cut to his chin. Hoareau, charged with recklessly causing injury, later told police he had been so drunk he couldn’t recall the incident. He first “knew” when friends told him about the fight the next day. A defence lawyer told the court that Hoareau felt “genuine remorse” and expressed embarrassment and shame about his “out-ofcharacter” act. The “once-off” incident was “best described as a moment of madness”, the lawyer said.

Midnight assault By Brendan Rees

“This will never occur again,” the lawyer said. Hoareau, who had no criminal priors, completed an anger-management course after the assault. He no longer goes to nightclubs, and cut his drinking to no more than two beers, the lawyer said. Magistrate Pauline Spencer said she contemplated jailing Hoareau but for his age, remorse, early guilty plea and frank admissions. The victim would have been psychologically as well as physically scarred by the bashing, Ms Spencer said. “These type of assaults where young men are drinking to excess and are then getting into ... physical altercations are a real plague in our community. “We all know those stories. You’re lucky that having punched this person five times to the face that it’s not more serious. “We have to be clear to young men that this behaviour is not acceptable.” Ms Spencer said Hoareau seemed to be “waking up” after going out too much and being immature. “This thing has been a learning experience for you.” Hoareau was ordered to do 200 hours of voluntary work as part of a 12-month community order.

Casey Crime Investigation Unit is appealing for witnesses following an assault outside the Empire Nightclub in Narre Warren during the early hours of Sunday 29 October. About 12.30am, police say there was an argument over a seating booth involving two groups which turned into a “push and shove.” Detective Senior Constable Peter Warden said after the parties had been ejected by security the alleged scuffle continued on the street. He said two parties between 10 and 12 people have been allegedly involved in an assault about 50 metres from the nightclub near Lauderdale Road. “The push and shove was dealt with pretty quickly. Both parties have been kicked out, and it was down on the road away from security cameras where the next part of all these injuries has happened,” Det Sen Const Warden said. He said a female and male were treated at hospital, adding “there was quite severe swelling and bruising to the face region and the others (involved) were just some minor injuries.” Police are making inquiries with the alleged offenders. “Obviously, when they entered the venue, they have a scanner licence so centre management they’ve given us the names of those people,” Det Sen Const Warden said. “So it’s a call for independent witnesses as to what’s happened.”

DENTIST KNOWS THE GREEN DRILL ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Sponsor

Winner Beaconsfield Dental Finalist Ten-Rose International Simmental Fleckvieh

Beaconsfield Dental has been recognised as the region’s most sustainable business for the third year in a row. The dental practice has dominated the Environmental Sustainability category since 2015, also winning in 2016 and now 2017. Beaconsfield Dental was established in 1988 by Dr Robert Panjkov. Mr Panjkov said the practice was proud of its green credentials. Beaconsfield Dental has 60 solar panels which are capable of generating up to 100 KWH in one day. Double glazing, full insulation, solar hot water, LED lighting, water tanks for the garden and toilet flush are standard features at Beaconsfield Dental. The garden has more than 500 indigenous plants to complement the surrounding Akoonah Park. Mr Panjkov said he had solar panels at his family home for years and so it was a natural progression to approach

THE DENTIST ISN’T EVERYBODY’S FAVOURITE THING, SO WE TRY TO MAKE IT A FUN PLACE AND TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE…

business with an environmental focus from the beginning. “We have solar hot water and 60 solar panels which have a wireless device that displays the electricity generated, carbon dioxide and money saved. “Patients are regularly shown the wireless device to educate them as it is kept in one of the treatment rooms. “The design of the building includes low-allergy paint, double glazing, LED lighting and wall, ceiling and floor insulation. “The water tanks have a capacity of 10,000 litres which are fed into the toilets and the 500-plant indigenous garden drip-sprinkler system.

“I’m also thinking about getting an electric charger port for electric cars in the car park. “We currently have about four or five water tanks and I’d like to double that and maybe get a filtration system so that we could be self-sufficient from the water supply. “We’ve encouraged customers to take it upon themselves to think more about the environment, too.” Beaconsfield Dental also uses biodegradable dental products and environmentally friendly cleaning and kitchen supplies, including a compost bin. Mr Panjkov said staff were educated

about recycling paper and encouraged to reduce printing by viewing documents on the computer. “We do it to be self-sufficient. Solar electricity generates a lot of power and it saves money. “It also gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling that you’re doing the right thing. It’s nice to leave a legacy,” he said. “The dentist isn’t everybody’s favourite thing, so we try to make it a fun place and to make people feel comfortable. “We’re always learning things about the new technological advances in renewable energy.”

TRAVEL AGENTS HAVE PACKED A LOT IN TOURISM Sponsor

Winner Safir Tours Finalists Travability, Cardinia Beaconhills Golf Links

The winner of the Tourism award for the second year in a row is Safir Tours. Nayaz Noor and Suchitra Reddy are the CEO and director respectively of the Berwick based Safir Tours and what they’ve accomplished in just four-and-ahalf years in Australia is impressive. Between them, they have more than 60 years of experience in the travel industry having both spent over three decades with tour operators and travel agencies in the United States, the Middle East and India. But the latest chapter of their story has brought them to Australia - where they had no family and few connections until a few short years ago. But the challenge of setting up their business in a completely new evironment is one they’ve truly excelled at. Safir Tours is a destination management company that customises all its itineraries based on the requirements of its clients. Born in India, Nayaz and Suchitra predominantly work with Indian clients from their home country, the Middle East and the United States who are looking to travel to Australia. “We started operating on 1 March 2013,” Nayaz said. “We were wondering when we were going to get our first client. Our first client was an Indian student studying in Adelaide whose parents were going to visit Australia. “She wanted things set up for them here to visit Sydney, the Gold Coast, and Cairns, so we put things together.” Nayaz and Suchitra were initially excited, yet somewhat sceptical, when

setting up their business in Australia. “It was all new to us - the whole business environment in Australia is very different to what we were used to in India or the US,” Nayaz said. “It took us a little bit of time to understand how it works. We found it easier than doing things in India because people are friendly here - they’re honest

and they’re straightforward. They’re more direct. “The Indian market is very, very complicated. It’s very fragmented nothing is set in stone and even the wealthiest of travellers will check with five different agencies and check everywhere online to try and get the lowest price.

“When most people in India get to know us, they know that once they send their clients to Safir Tours they won’t have to worry. They can sleep easy.” The company’s strength lies in its hands-on approach, the worldwide experience of its founders, and the strong relationship it holds with its partners and suppliers.

Shaylen sure shot

A fast laugh

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

A Hampton Park man laughed in court as he faced off with a magistrate over speeding at 153km/h on the Monash Freeway. Sahana Dananjaya Sandaradura was told by judge Pauline Spencer at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that he was a “really bad driver”. He had been snapped at 53km/h over the limit by a freeway speed camera at Glen Iris about 3.38am on 23 April. He chuckled, and Ms Spencer retorted: “Well you are! “This is your third drive-suspended charge. “You’re not only driving when you shouldn’t be driving but you’re speeding at an incredibly fast rate.” Sandaradura replied that “no-one was in danger” at the time. “There was no-one in front of me, no-one behind me.” Ms Spencer pointed out that police officers and other first-responders were often called out to young men in single-vehicle crashes. “You don’t think this is unsafe. Are you absolutely insane?” Sandaradura said he had been unaware he faced possible jail for his multiple suspended driving charge. “It’s a hard lesson that I’ve learnt now,” he said. Ms Spencer replied: “You didn’t learn it last time (you were in court)?” “This was the last straw,” Sandaradura said. “I self-destruct.” As his final argument, Sandaradura offered to sell his car and to take public transport. “Whatever it takes,” he said. “I’m ready to move on with my life.” Ms Spencer sentenced him to 100 hours of community work as well as 15 months off the road. “Nothing will keep you out of jail next time.”

National record-holder Shaylen is a dead-eye archer. 174555 Every Sunday, the Berwick Primary student trains for hours at Diamond Valley archery club in Yarrambat under the watch of coach Cordell McGuire. The long drive and hours of training are worth it, says her mother.

“I’ll keep supporting her if we can,” Ms Lowe said. “She just loves it.” To donate to Shaylen’s national titles campaign, go to https://ozcrowd.com/campaign/4118

12369155-CB44-17

Maestro Shaylen, 9, has few peers when it comes to shooting targets. The Upper Beaconsfield archer holds an incredible 72 state and nine national records despite shooting at an older age division. At her first nationals - at age six - she won three out of four gold medals in the 13-yearold-and-under division. In that campaign, she also broke three national records. Her latest target, however, requires some community help. Her mother Tiarnee Lowe has put out a crowdfunding plea on social media for donors to help Shaylen take part in 3D Archery Association of Australia national titles in Nambucca Heads NSW on 9 November. Ms Lowe, a single mum, said some unexpected financial setbacks including a massive veterinary bill for the family’s horse had led to the desperate call for help. As for Shaylen, she’s just looking forward to shooting the lights out at the national titles, oblivious to the budgetary crisis. “She’s been talking about it for 12 months,” Ms Lowe said. “She takes her archery gear to school - her teacher says she talks about it. “If she doesn’t go, it’s going to tear her apart.” Ms Lowe said she had no idea where Shaylen’s freakish talent comes from. She’ll take a look through binoculars at a target about 40 metres or so away, then mentally estimates the range -without any sights and hits the bullseye. “Everyone says she shoots on instinct. She’s a natural - she doesn’t use technology, she just shoots it.” From the first time she picked up a bow at 5, she was astounding her mentors.

TAKING HEART FROM JOB OPPORTUNITIES SOCIAL ENTERPRISE Sponsor

Winner Waverley Industries Finalists Kare ONE, Casey and District Multiple Birth Association

Waverley Industries’ reputation as a business with a heart has been firmly cemented with its third award in the Social Enterprise category. Waverley Industries has made this category its own, winning in 2015, 2016 and, now, 2017. The not-for-profit organisation commenced operations in November 1984 with the aim of providing employment opportunities for people with special needs, in particular intellectually disabled adults.

THEIR WORK ENRICHES THEIR LIVES AND BUILDS THEIR SELFESTEEM…

It’s always a team effort at Waverley Industries.

The business employs more than 250 disabled adults at its Waverley Industries Notting Hill site and at its new packaging factory in Star Crescent, Hallam. Waverley Industries opened its 4000-square metre factory in Hallam in 2016, creating 40 jobs for people with disabilities. Director and chief executive Frank Cresia said the expansion enabled the business to develop its accredited training programs to neighbouring special schools.

“We’ve created a lot of new jobs,” he said. “Our success is our people. “That’s our essence and our growth - people with disabilities.” Across its Hallam and Notting Hill locations, workers specialise in packaging solutions, assembly work, manufacturing, mail outs and catering. Mr Cresia said that Waverley Industries was proud to play an important role in the lives of its employees.

“Their work enriches their lives and builds their self-esteem, knowing that they are producing things that we, as a community, need,” he said. “They still receive their disability support pension, so working with us provides a supplement to that.” Waverley Industries makes it a priority to reach out to special needs schools to provide employment opportunities. Working with Waverley Industries

since 2001, Mr Cresia has seen it develop into a thriving business. Assisted by a team of hardworking volunteers, he said the business provided its customers with more than just high-quality products and services at competitive prices. “We’ve gone from an organisation on its knees to a thriving, sustainable, business model,” he said. “Customers see that they’re providing job opportunities for people that wouldn’t otherwise be working.”

Buffer limits of 500 metres for putrescible waste landfills and new developments have arrived too late for long-suffering neighbours of Hampton Park’s tip. Environment Protection Authority Victoria has recently released new guidelines for planning proposals within landfill buffer zones. It outlines buffers of 500 metres for putrefying waste landfills and 200 metres for inert solid waste tips. Many homes have been built as close as 100 metres away from the Suez-operated landfill at Hallam Road, Hampton Park - which has a Casey Council permit to operate until 2040. Long-suffering residents have complained regularly about the tip’s stench. Casey councillor Damien Rosario - who also lives in the area - said that the guidelines were a “long time coming”. “Many houses were built before the EPA placed a 500-metre buffer around the Suez site. “My understanding is that for houses already built prior to the EPA buffer, (residents) haven’t been able to change their properties at all such as do landscaping. Cr Rosario was also “following up” on the recent building of houses across from the tip. “I am just following up to find out why they are allowed to do it with the EPA buffer in place. “Either way, the community needs rules of engagement around this sort of thing, and I’m happy the EPA has finally looked into this long-running issue.” An EPA spokesman said the publication was a technical guide to assist the assessment of risk of landfill gas migration on a planning proposal. “The guide assists with decision-making on proposed new developments, but does not

The tip has been the subject of three Pollution Abatement Notices in the past two years and an EPA enforcement action in 2012. In 2015, Suez was put on notice for methane levels above the “upper explosive limit”, with a third of its gas extraction wells found to be blocked, too wet, turned off or disconnected or had slow gas flow rates. Last year, Suez installed 22 perimeter landfill bores in response. The EPA has advised people to call its Pollution Hotline on 1300 372 842 (1300 EPA VIC), if there are ongoing odour issues from the landfill. Suez also has an “environmental feedback hotline” on 1800 368 737.

Drove unlicensed 34 times By Cam Lucadou-Wells A driver facing his “extraordinary” 34th charge of driving suspended or disqualified has been jailed. Joshua Dean Rixon, of Doveton, was caught driving in Warragul, Hallam and Doveton this year while serving a three-year driving disqualification, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard on 30 October. His lawyer Arend Slink said a lot of the 31 previous driving suspended or disqualified charges related to a loss of demerit points. Rixon had driven without a valid license partly out of a need to “ferry the kids around” while - up until recently - living in an isolated country area, Mr Slink said. Rixon was also charged over failing to return a $5200 hired trailer in Trafalgar last year. Mr Slink told the court Rixon couldn’t return the trailer because of the damaged state of his vehicle.

The trailer has not been since recovered. Rixon has “no idea” what happened to it and had no role in its “removal and disposal”, Mr Slink said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Rixon who had recently been jailed for the same offending - was “not helping himself” with his errant decisions. He said disqualified drivers such as Rixon were risk-takers, more likely to be involved in serious injuries and deaths on the road. Rixon needed assistance for his “complex” issues but he also needed to be stopped from repetitive offending, Mr Vandersteen said. “I get that you’re not good at dealing with some issues ... but how do you explain that to a victim that’s been hurt. “Thirty-four times you’ve done (this) is just an extraordinary amount.” Rixon was jailed for 90 days followed by a 12-month community corrections order including drug and mental health treatment.

ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELL-BEING Sponsor

Winner YMCA Casey Finalists Kinders Together Association, Lakeside Psychology

YMCA has been an integral part of the City of Casey for the past 19 years and has been recognised as this year’s winner of the Health, Education and Well-being award. YMCA Casey manages the operations of six leisure facilities on behalf of the City of Casey. These facilities include Casey ARC, Casey RACE, Endeavour Hills Leisure Centre, Berwick Leisure Centre, Casey Indoor Leisure Centre and Doveton Pool in the Park. Each facility offers the community a wide variety of services and programs including but not limited to swimming lessons, recreational swimming, health clubs, group fitness classes, childcare, gymnastics and stadium sports. In September the organisation celebrated 100 days of operation of the City of Casey’s new state-of-the-art sports complex, Casey Stadium. The YMCA-managed centre underwent an $18.3 million redevelopment, relaunching to the local community in June with 10 multipurpose courts including show court seating with a capacity of more than 1000 people. It now has the capability to host major events and, over the initial period, the YMCA has worked closely with a range of stakeholders including Casey Basketball Association and Casey Netball Association to showcase the facility. The launch in June highlighted a Big V All Star Origin Series which saw the best players from the Big V competition compete in a men’s and women’s all-star game. A Victorian Netball League game has

It truly is a state-of-the-art facility and the community have been

very supportive and excited by the venue,” he said. “We continue to increase our reach with new sports and community activities being added to our programming in the coming months.” Inclusive programming has also been an early success with the introduction of a range of new sports and activities

aimed at providing opportunities to people of all abilities. Casey Stadium will undergo further redevelopment with stage two to see a dedicated gymnastic hall and indoor cricket area added to the facility. Work will commence in 2018 and see the YMCA invest $780,000 into the project.

Aziz knocks the knockers By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association has been labelled as “Losers in Exile” by mayor Sam Aziz, after they reiterated their criticism of Bunjil Place. CRRA spokesman Brendan Browne described the $125 million civic-arts precinct as a “nice building, but you would expect that when you spend ($115 million) of ratepayers’ money”. “Our calculations estimate that in the long run it will end up costing every rate paying household in Casey an average of at least $240. “We hope that people get their money’s worth and that it is well utilised, but it’s not an equitable way of funding such a project. “Theatre patrons across the South-East of Melbourne will benefit, but many local Casey residents who don’t utilise the facilities will see no benefit at all,” he said. Mr Browne said Casey “almost continually pushed for rate rises, while at the same time claiming that Bunjil Place was not impacting on our rates”. “On top of that, chief executive Mike Tyler and mayor Sam Aziz have been speaking of a so-called infrastructure black hole and the need for a rate rise beyond CPI. “Indeed, the claim was made in the Casey newsletter that we’re facing a $168 million shortfall over the next 10 years.” Mayor Sam Aziz retorted that the CRRA should be renamed Casey LIE - or Losers in Exile - for being “negative” and “simplistic”. “I’m sick and tired of all their barking and it’s fundamentally dishonest.” As part of its financial planning, the council had reduced the project’s loan period from 30 years to 9 years. Ratepayers would not be impacted during that time, Cr Aziz said. “We are going to be in a great position in nine years to continue to invest in infrastruc-

nomic benefits, jobs and prosperity that would flow from the project. “It’s so easy to be an armchair critic rather than to deliver the project in the way we have. “Some are continually attacking while others are growing the city.

“(Mr Browne) is being a smart alec because he doesn’t understand the financial story.” CRRA is holding its AGM from 10am-noon on Saturday, 18 November at Hampton Park Community Centre’s workshop room.

A decade after the doors opened, John Georgiou is still the proud owner and head chef of Beaconsfield’s much-loved restaurant Georgio’s Seafood and Steak House. Originally a video shop, Georgio’s Seafood and Steak House was later transformed to the 100-seater restaurant that customers know and love today. John’s philosophy is simple. Give customers more than enough good quality food at a reasonable price and back it up with good service, friendly staff, nice surroundings and a top-notch wine and drinks list and the rest is history. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have been working in the industry full time from 15 years old or to have talented and experienced parents involved in the industry either. John’s father and mother, Con and Andrea Georgiou, have been in the restaurant industry since the 1970s in both Cyprus and England before eventually establishing their own restaurant in Australia in the 1980s. “Con and Andrea still pop in from time to time but a more regular sight is my brother Andrew manning the front of house,” John said. “Wait staff, kitchen staff and the like are all well-presented, loyal and hardworking and are a credit to us at Georgio’s.

“We pride ourselves with serving the freshest seafood and tender chargrilled steaks, big enough to fill your plate at a reasonable price. “In fact, our menu prices are more reasonable than most of the local pubs. Apart from the full menu advertised on the restaurant’s website, Georgio’s also has children’s menu, vegetarian menu and an exciting daily specials list that can only be viewed at the restaurant. “Georgio’s will be open seven nights during December right up until Christmas Eve,” John said. “So if you are looking for a venue for your end of year function, we are the place. “We cater up to 100 patrons at any one time. Not only do we have our extensive menu, but also have some set menus available for corporate functions starting from as little as $44 for two courses.” These and other options can be viewed on the Georgio’s website at www.georgios beaconsfield.com.au. Georgio’s Seafood and Steak House is located at 70 Old Princes Highway, Beaconsfield, and is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 5.30pm until late. For inquiries and bookings, phone 9707 3030.

Introducing your

School Principals As the new Principal of Berwick Chase Primary School,

In order for young people to succeed in an increasingly complex environment, children need a high quality education; to be taught skills to achieve success, and to think critically, enabling them to become good decision-makers, responsible global citizens and lifelong learners.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I have worked in a wide variety of primary school settings in the rapidly growing South Eastern suburbs.

Maranatha is a safe Christian learning community in partnership with home and church that helps children find true success in life. Through a model of Christcentred education within a safe environment, we seek to inspire children to think Christianly about the world, and so use their God given gifts and talents for the benefit of others.

Prior to being appointed to Berwick Chase I was the Principal of Skye Primary School for 6 years. I am proud of our mission statement at Berwick Chase - we strive

With talented, well regarded and highly qualified Christian teachers who understand children, Maranatha students have the opportunity to learn, develop, serve, grow and excel by participating in a rigorous, challenging and engaging curriculum at either of our two well-resourced Junior Schools at Officer and Doveton or our highly regarded Middle and Senior School at Endeavour Hills.

for success through fostering relationships built upon integrity and equity, and embracing the courage to pursue our dream. I look forward to the future with the

St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School

Tony Sheumack Why Year 9?

Providing all children with a comprehensive education, one that meets their individual needs, preparing them well for the next phase in their schooling and does so in a way that ensures they love coming to school is our focus. Breadth of curriculum choice, one which includes a strong focus on the core subjects of literacy and numeracy is a feature of our approach at Berwick Lodge. Robotics and coding, radio and film-making and a whole school Chinese (Mandarin) program are a small sample of the breadth of curriculum on offer at our school. This year our senior students once again visited Singapore as guests of our partner school, Tampines P.S. as part of our international learning program. Berwick Lodge was recognised for excellence in the Performing Arts this year – winning the Wakakirri Victorian Best History Story Award and being one of the 4 schools nationwide shortlisted for the national award. We are also proud to have been selected as one of the 40 most innovative schools in Australia by The Educator for our work in the field of student agency in learning with the Learning Maps project. Student wellbeing is at the heart of our approach to ensuring that all children feel both valued and safe. Our partnership with the Alannah & Madeline Foundation as a Victorian Ambassador school bears testimony to our commitment to the wellbeing of all students. We provide individual tours of our school for all interested parents. Why not call us and see for yourself? Henry Grossek Principal Berwick Lodge Primary School

Since Beaconhills College became the first school in Victoria to establish an on-campus, specialised Year 9 program more than 20 years ago, other schools have followed suit. Various adaptations of Year 9 programs are now commonplace. But as we prepare to open our major new Year 9 Centre at our Pakenham Campus in 2018, I have been reflecting on what really sets our program apart. Year 9 at Beaconhills is a ‘bespoke’ program. For the past 20 years, we have developed the key elements – Personal Best, Common Good, City Experience and the challenging Outdoor Education program – to really give students some unique and life-changing learning. Learning that matters. This program was founded on research showing that around Year 9, young people tend to disconnect from their school work and families and focus strongly on their peer relationships. It’s a transitional time, where they’re learning about their own identity and place in the world. At a time when young people can disengage from learning, what better way to re-ignite their interest than give them a term to develop a project that is their personal passion (Personal Best)? At a time when teenagers can become selfabsorbed, what better to discover the joy of altruism and empathy by handing out small gifts to people on Melbourne’s streets (Random Act of Kindness), or raising money for a charity organisation (Common Good)? Our newly-launched Year 9 website at http://year9.beaconhills.vic.edu.au/ tells you much more about this program and the immeasurable benefits it delivers for students. Tony Sheumack Headmaster

Pete Wells

HENRY GROSSEK

Life is a journey, but with a great foundation in the partnership that is Maranatha, children can become the fine young men and women God intended them to be.

CHAIRO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL PRINCIPAL – PETER WELLS Pete Wells is excited about the innovation and development that he experiences each day at Chairo’s Pakenham Campus, but is equally committed to honouring the school’s longstanding mission: to provide excellence in Christ-centred education, in partnership with families, within a caring Christian community. He explained: ‘We provide Kinder to Year 12 education within a genuinely Christian school culture. Our values, curriculum and programs are all delivered from a Christian worldview perspective. It’s our desire to see boys and girls experience care and challenge that helps them develop into young men and women of great character, who are able to positively impact the world around them. ‘We hope and pray that each Chairo student feels safe and welcomed, as they participate in a strong, healthy, friendly and uplifting community that values the unique capabilities and character of every child.’ Pete holds a degree in Psychology and a Master of Educational Leadership. Prior to becoming Principal this year, he taught for many years at Chairo before taking on the role of Head of School in an International Baccalaureate school in Indonesia. Outside of his work in education, Pete is an award-winning novelist and father of three active boys. With modern facilities in a pleasant rural environment, an excellent school culture, and a host of co-curricular activities, Chairo provides a dynamic and rigorous learning environment.

My career in education has offered a diverse range of experiences, roles and highlights. I have also sought to engage with the educational debate through the completion of post graduate study, writing several books and also presenting at national and international conferences. I am passionate about the growth of individuals to be the very best version of themselves in the awareness that education has the power to transform lives and communities.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Head of Berwick Grammar School, having started at the school at the beginning of Term 3.

Berwick Grammar School is unashamedly a school for boys. Our dedicated staff appreciate the wonderfully positive influence a boys’ school can have on the development and growth of good men. We understand boys and are determined to ensure that our programs and curriculum are purposely focused on preparing boys for life, as much as they prepare them for examinations. Our unique educational model as part of the larger St Margaret’s School community enables our boys to develop authentic relationships within coeducational settings and experiential learning opportunities. Our membership of peak global organisations such as the International Boys’ School Coalition places the resources, research and practices of renowned schools such as Eton and Harrow at our fingertips. A commitment to being the best version of a boys school that we can be has seen us develop a range of new initiatives including the Time and Space program for boys and parents. The development of leadership capacity in our students to ensure that they are equipped to communicate and collaborate with creativity in the global century is now at the forefront of our thinking. My short time here would indicate that Berwick Grammar School is very much a learning community on the move and one which I would dearly love prospective parents and boys to come and witness in action.

GROW. BUSINESS

Casey Cardinia Region

Perseverance pays off By Narelle Coulter Businesses as diverse as a winery and an electrical contractor were among those hailed as the region’s best at the annual Casey Cardinia Business Awards on Friday 27 October. Business owners, managers and staff from across the region gathered at the Cranbourne Turf Club for the event, hosted by television personality Catriona Rowntree. Business of the Year went to Hallam-based Powerplant Project Services. Owner and director Greg Plant accepted the award saying with some understatement: “That’s pretty good. “To me it is proof that if you have an idea and are prepared to work hard you can do anything,” Mr Plant said. Earlier in the evening, Mr Plant accepted the top award in the Trades and Construction category. Newcomer Natalie Birch, the creative director of Ideas Ministry, was shocked to win the Business and Professional Services Award. “I’m stoked,” she said with a huge grin. “This is our first year and I love working with the local community. The awards are recognition of people doing their best for the community and business.” The Health Education and Wellbeing Award was won by YMCA Casey. Area manager Barry Harrison said the YMCA enjoyed a close working relationship with the City of Casey. “We have six centres and individual centres win awards but this award is about us working together as a whole team. It’s about us working together for the community.” Tour Local’s award for best Home-Based Business was accepted by Ray Staindl on behalf of owner and founder Joanne Staindl. Ray paid tribute to the hard work and vision of his mother who couldn’t attend because she was on the road hosting a tour. “I want to thank my mother. It was my mother who started this business nine years ago. “Between the two of us we have kept it going. She’s always been about people and she’s always been my inspiration.” Winner of the Hospitality Business of the Year was Cannibal Creek Winery. Owner Kirsten Hardiker said it was an honour “to be recognised in our own territory”. The manufacturing award went to Powerplants Australia. Owner Carl van Loon said the firm had gone through tough times in the last eight years with stiff competition from European manufacturers. However, just last week Powerplants had signed a large contract with a US company. “It is great to be able to manufacture things here in Australia. It is amazing what you can do when you keep persevering and pushing through,” Mr van Loon said. The title of best new business went to Pakenham-based Davey Marine. Owner Adam Davey said his team members, which were all present at the awards “are everything”. “If you look after your staff, then they will look after your customers.” No business on the winner’s stage has gone through more drama and hard times than Emerald Village Pharmacy, winner of the Retail Award which was gutted by fire in 2015. Owner Louisa Slammers said the award recognised that the business had “come back strongly” thanks to the support of the Emerald community. Waverley Industries won the Social Enterprise category for the third year in a row prompting representative Noella Malabar to encourage business to “open their doors” to workers with a disability.

Tour Local’s Ray Staindl with Karlee Daye. 174253 Beaconsfield Dental principal Dr Robert Panjkov urged other businesses to go green when he accepted the Environmental Sustainability Award. The award for the region’s most popular business went to Twisted Sista, Upper Level at Fountain Gate. Twisted Sista won the People’s Choice category with more than 900 votes. Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said 141 businesses had entered the awards and that all the nominated businesses had made an “outstanding contribution to the regional economy”. Cardinia Mayor Brett Owen said the two councils were working hard to create new jobs in the region. Victorian Planning Authority spokesperson Paul Cassidy told the audience that in the past five years thousands of new jobs had been created across the two councils, more than the number of new households.

SPORT

Hunter waits for AFL call By Nick Creely Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Hunter Clark is as tough as nails, wins the football relentlessly and leaps for the ball like a key position player. That’s why the Peninsula product is one of the most enticing prospects in this year’s draft pool. After a stunning purple patch in the second half of the year, Clark was the runaway winner in the Stingrays’ Best and Fairest award, averaging almost 27 disposals, half a dozen tackles and almost a goal a game. Life is hectic at the moment for the Stingray who will be juggling his VCE exams over the next month while awaiting draft day on 24 November where he will learn which of the 18 AFL clubs he will begin his journey with in 2018. “Yeah, it’s all pretty busy at the moment but there is still a little while to go (before the draft), so I’m just trying to keep it simple and pretty normal. “Not much has changed with what I’m doing and how I’m acting, but it’s definitely a different feeling getting close to the draft,” he said. “I’ve been fine now that the season is done, it’s definitely become more of a focus (the draft) - whatever happens, happens, and if I’m lucky enough to be picked up, it’s what I’ve wanted to do forever so I’d be stoked. “There’s still a long way to go, I’ve put in a lot of hard work to get here.” After the initial nervousness that accompanies being interviewed by a range of different clubs from all parts of the country, Clark said he now enjoys the process, despite a few differences between Victorian and interstate clubs. “Speaking to the clubs the first few times

was nerve-racking, I wasn’t sure what to expect, to be honest, but once you do a couple you start to get used to them, as most of them are pretty similar with the types of things they ask you. Once you get comfortable, you even start to enjoy them,” he said. “They (interstate clubs) have similar basis questions, but they’d ask you how you’d settle in having to move, or your thoughts on it, so I suppose they want to know what you’re like as a person and whether you’re willing to take on the challenge.” Clark was hampered early in the season by a niggling injury, but bounced back to end the TAC Cup season as one of its most dominant midfielders, while also earning the prestigious honour of playing for Team Enright in the Under 18’s All Stars match on AFL Grand Final day on 30 September. “In the first part of the year I was just trying to get my body right, I missed the most of pre-season with a groin injury and that hung around for most of the year, and in the first half I wasn’t playing full game time,” he said. “In the last couple of months, I’ve played my best footy, but that’s when my body had overcome that, and was able to play full games. “It was just awesome (playing on the ‘G) I’m a Richmond man also, so to play on that day was special - running on the ‘G was surreal, and when I was running out there I was just imagining running out there for an AFL Grand Final, and you just take in the little things.” He also believes the club out of Shepley Oval could be in for a decent draft haul, with up to half a dozen names likely to be taken. “I think we have a pretty strong chance of quite a few drafted - potentially there could be five or six, and maybe a couple of 19-year-olds, we’ve got quite a bit of talent,” he said.

Hunter Clark is a difficult midfielder to hold back. 167722

Dream end to season for Zara By Nick Creely When Zara Winterton draped a premiership medal over the neck of Richmond captain Trent Cotchin only moments after the 2017 AFL Grand Final, it capped off an extraordinary football season for the fanatical footy fan. The seven-year-old from Berwick’s Auskick program has enjoyed a 2017 only some kids can dream of. After her dad Paul entered a 25-second video of Zara explaining why she should be NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year, her first bit of fame came during an interview with TV personality Hamish McLachlan at half-time down at Geelong during the Cats’ clash with the Bulldogs on Channel 7. “He asked me how I could tell my twin brothers apart and I said one has an oval face and one has a circle face - so he said back to me one has a football face, and one has a soccer face,” she said. “I wasn’t really nervous (during the interview), it was fun.” After becoming the Round 9 NAB Auskicker of the Week, Zara was then named the 2017 NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year by four judges who were all impressed by her passion and energy for the game. Zara then got to enjoy a three night AFL Grand Final experience recently, as she explained with a smile. “We stayed in the city for the three nights (over Grand Final weekend) with all the Auskickers, and the Adelaide team were there. “We saw lots of players and I had a good time,” she said. “I went on the ground at half time and played in front of the whole crowd - I also got to go around in the car at the start of the game next to Essendon’s Andrew McGrath (2017 AFL Rising Star). “At the end I presented the medal (to Trent Cotchin) and he said well done to me and gave me a big hug - it felt good to do it and it was really exciting.” Zara also won $5000 and has the honour of having one of the AFL’s most famous stars in her corner during Auskick next year, and explained how emotional it was for her. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

Zara Winterton drapes a premiership medal around the neck of Richmond captain Trent Cotchin. “When I found out I won it I happy cried - I got to go to a photo-shoot with Joel Selwood (Geelong captain) and he’ll be my personal mentor next year,” she said. “He’ll be teaching me things and taking me to a tour of Geelong, and I get to meet the team - he’ll also come out and watch Auskick.

Picture: COURTESY OF AFL MEDIA

“I’ve already spent half of it (the money), and I’m going to give the rest to charity and to my friend Jane because she has leukaemia - I got to get a new iPad and Katy Perry tickets too.” The mad Essendon fan - who loves to watch David Zaharakis - has also appeared on popu-

lar AFL shows such as AFL360 and GameDay following her AFL Grand Final experience, and will be hoping it’s the Bombers’ turn next year. But all Zara wants to do now is get stuck back into Auskick and “kick goals and make tackles”.

SPORT

Watson stars as Bears fold By Nick Creely DDCA TURF 1 & 2 REVIEW - ROUND 2 (DAY 2) Playing out a thrilling final day, Buckley Ridges stole a terrific win over heavyweights Berwick by 27 runs, with Daniel Watson’s rollicking start to the season continuing. The Bears looked in control at 1/68 as play resumed on day two, still 121 runs shy of the Bucks’ total but totally in command on their home deck. Quick wickets stunted the Bears’ progress in the early stages with star all-rounder Daniel Watson (4/27) bowling brilliantly after his 84 the week prior, and despite resistance in the latter part of the innings, the home side were bowled out for 161 - an almighty collapse of 8/84. Apart from Watson - who picked up arguably the most important scalp of Matt Chasemore for 18 caught behind - Jurgen Andersen (3/35) was phenomenal with his line, while Lukas Hoogenboom (3/57) was terrific in the middle period of the innings. Ryan Williamson (29) was the top scorer for the Bears, with seven batsmen scoring between 10 and 30. Although early in the Turf 1 season, both sides look ominous, and likely to meet again with more at stake. Down at Casey Fields, a stellar knock from Ruwantha Kellepotha (151 not out) inflicted a young Cranbourne side to a heavy defeat against St Mary’s. Set 169 for victory, the Saints lost gun opening batsmen Rhys Serpanchy (8) and Wendyl Pires (16) to be sitting at 2/42 and with the game genuinely in the balance. Kellepotha and skipper Kaushyla Gajasinghe (57) used their vast experience to rebuild the innings, while the young Eagles bowlers

Hallam skipper Steve Gilmour starred with the ball on Saturday. 166202 tired as the two carved them to all parts of the ground. Gajasinghe was eventually dismissed with the score at 3/138, but Kellepotha started to go big, hitting five sixes and 18 fours to reach a brilliant hundred in just his second innings at the club. The Saints ended on 6/321 off 75 overs, with Dimitri Siriwardena clubbing a quick 55 at the end. Steve Miller (2/59) battled hard with the ball to be the pick of the bowlers for Cranbourne, while Jawed Hussaini also chimed in with a couple of wickets.

Picture: ROB CAREW

The win lifts the Saints into the top four, with last year’s Turf 2 premiers enjoying a strong start in the top competition. Meanwhile, a fired up Hallam bowling line up took Narre Warren to the cleaners at Sweeney Reserve, with the Hawks falling just four wickets short of an outright victory. Set up by faultless centuries to Leigh Booth (109) and Thailavan Xavier (125) on day one, Hawks’ quicks Jordan Hammond (4/31) and Steve Gilmour (4/14) simply wouldn’t allow the Magpies any chance, helping roll the home side for 114 off just 51 overs. As he always does, Janaka Liyanabadalge (41) was a rock for his side, while Daniel Or-

chard (25) played a nice hand at the top. With plenty of time to earn the double points, Gilmour and Hammond struck in the opening two overs of the Magpies’ second innings to leave them 2/1. Chamara Liyanaarachchi (37) worked hard to keep the Hawks at bay, and eventually the Magpies were able to avoid an even heavier defeat, finishing on 6/151 after a late cameo by Imran Laghmani (48). In the rounds other matches, Mordialloc (217 and 2/130) crushed Dandenong West (141 and 2/35), Dingley (7/147) secured a vital win over HSD (146), while Steve Spoljaric (29*, 58 and 7/20) inspired Springvale South (7/135 and 4/142) to a massive win over North Dandenong (88 and 202). In Turf 2, Narre North almost pulled off an almighty run chase in their clash with Narre South, with the North falling just 34 runs short at Strathaird Reserve. After the Lions piled on an incredible 328 on day one, the North were warm outsiders after starting day two 1/11. The task looked even tougher when they lost a few early wickets to be 3/56. A terrific string of knocks by Kyle Hardy (72), AFL footballer Josh Battle (41) and skipper Matthew Brooks (32) saw the North surge back into the game, before an extraordinary century to Scott Brandon (103) saw them finish on 294 after losing their last three wickets for two runs. Kirk Dickson (3/69) helped get the Lions over the line with a nice display with the new ball. Down at Perc Allison Oval, Beaconsfield skipper Matt Golding (113) also made a century in the Tigers’ crushing victory over Lynbrook. Golding helped guide his side home after a shaky start in pursuit of the Lakers’ 134 on day one.

12368141-LB42-17

By Nick Creely Despite losing their fourth consecutive match in the opening month of the Victorian Premier Cricket season, Casey-South Melbourne coach Prabath Nissanka remains confident that the lessons learnt will hold them in good stead as they look to put some points on the board. In the Swans’ match with region rivals Dandenong at Shepley Oval on Saturday, they weren’t bereft of effort; they were simply outclassed by the most in-form side in the competition. The game was played squarely in the court of Dandy as soon as Lachie Sperling and his Swans won the toss and elected to bat. In need of a strong start, the Swans got the exact opposite - and perhaps with very little luck from the umpires. Kasun Suriaratchie (0) fell in the opening moments caught behind off Darren Pattinson (4/19), but appeared to have clearly missed the ball, while only a few overs later, skipper Sperling (5) middled a ball into his pad but was swiftly given LBW off left arm quick Jak Jowett (1/46). The two early wickets meant the Swans couldn’t get any momentum with their batting, as Pattinson wound back the clock in a stellar white ball spell that left the visitors hanging by a thread at 5/37. As they did last week, Chris Benedek (23) steadied the ship while Dylan Hadfield (43) played the aggressor and it worked a treat, lifting the score just above 100 with a decent launching pad for the remaining 20 overs. Hadfield in particular struck the ball sweetly with a series of cracking cover shots bringing the Swans back into the contest, while Benedek showed poise as the Panthers hardly put a foot wrong. But impressive left arm spinner Akshat Buch (2/24) ignited the flame once more with a clever quicker ball that saw Jacques Augstin stump Benedek before slowing one up and forcing Hadfield to spoon a ball to Donnell at cover - it changed the game. Brendan Rose (30 not out) and Leigh Diston (14) then lifted late with some smart shot selection, lifting the Swans to 9/155 off their 50

overs - a competitive, yet under-par score that would have had the Panthers licking their lips. It didn’t take long for legendary openers Tom Donnell and Brett Forsyth (35) to take the fizz out of the contest, with Donnell cracking an early lofted drive straight to the boundary before the pair brought up their customary 50 run partnership in less than an hour. The skipper eventually fell for 56 but it simply didn’t matter with Ed Newman (40) once again showing his abundance of class by playing a crafty knock before LJ Edwards (12 not out) and James Nanopoulos (8 not out) eventually saw the home side to victory in the 32nd over and with only three wickets down. Nathan Lambden (1/36) and Suriaratchie (1/10) were the only two to take wickets for the Swans. “There are some positives - even though we lost too many early wickets, we managed to score 150 which isn’t good enough, but still we were able to build after losing five wickets, so we can take that away from the game,” Nissanka said. “We still couldn’t convert our starts into big scores, and that’s something we are lacking for any team this can happen, but the good teams overcome these situations - if you score 25 or 30 runs it doesn’t help anyone. “Once you’ve done the hard work, you have to convert them to good scores then that will take us to 200 or 220, so that’s something I want them to analyse and overcome.” Nissanka also said that the lack of runs on the scoreboard is making it hard for his bowlers to come up with plans to win, but backed his side in to find a way to break out of a slump that threatens to derail its season completely. “They (bowlers) need to improve as well - the situation we have faced so far this season, we have scored three low scores, so when you’re bowling to a small total, the problem is you have to always take wickets, and when you overdo things, it’s not going to help,” he said. “We will learn from these games, and figure out a way to get us back into winning positions.” Round 5 will see the Swans host Geelong at Casey Fields, in what is a winnable game. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au


SPORT SCOREBOARD

Kooweerup star Ben Spicer cracks a straight six as the Demons surged to outright victory over Cardinia. 174436 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Bulls are crushed By Russell Bennett Looking back over the WGCA’s Premier era to this point, it almost seems inconceivable that Kooweerup would be in the position to snare an outright win over Cardinia with the two perennial league heavyweights often fighting it out for the premiership. But the Bulls seem a long way off that now after surrendering maximum points to the Demons at E. Gunton Oval on Saturday and sliding to sixth on the ladder with just one win from its first four games. It’s not that Cardinia doesn’t have the talent within its ranks, but the Bulls must rely on each and every one of their first XI players to get their season back on course. After resuming their second innings at 0/38 after 20 overs at the start of day two on Saturday, the Bulls survived just another 23.5 overs before being dismissed for 94. Openers, and not out batsmen overnight, Ben Parrott (28) and Brad Reiner (22) were the only Cardinia batsmen to reach 20 - in their 52-run stand - as former Bulls skipper and now Demons leader Mark Cooper snared a remarkable 6/29 from his 15 overs, while Jess Mathers (4/34) claimed each of the other wickets to fall. The Demons shook their batting order up in their second dig, with Cooper, Mathers and Chris O’Hara not required. They lost six wickets before snaring full points, but the result was never in doubt. Matt Welsh took 3/16 from his nine overs while Dwayne Doig snared 2/33. Separate incidents involving Travis Wheller and Te Ahu Davis weren’t taken any further

by the officiating umpires in the wake of the match. Emerald, meanwhile, was spurred on by a fighting lower-order century from favourite son Clinton Marsh (109) to reach 252 in its chase against Upper Beaconsfield’s 326-run day one total. The Bombers had their backs to the wall from the outset - losing 2/0 - but a host of the visiting batsmen ultimately got starts before Marsh converted his to triple figures. Though current Emerald skipper Mitch Daley hasn’t been at the club all that long, it’s obvious to him just what Marsh means to the playing group. “Marshy is one of the most competitive and passionate blokes I’ve ever played with,” he said. “I think that’s why the boys love playing with him.” At Toomuc Reserve in Pakenham, Tooradin capitalised on its strong opening day’s play by dismissing the Lions for 265 in a touch over 70 overs on day two of their clash. Pleasingly for the Gulls, they managed to snare a host of wickets at crucial times throughout the Pakenham innings just as the Lions’ batsmen seemed to take control. Nic Close (18) and Chris Smith (67) put on 41 for the opening wicket for the Lions, and both showed plenty of positive intent from the outset. Smith, in particular, looked in superb touch before he was ultimately caught for 67 by Aaron Avery off his fellow co-captain Cal O’Hare.

Rob Elston (23), Dom Paynter (39), and Sean Gramc (34) all had the potential to change the course of the game, but each fell just as they seemed set - Elston holing out to 12th man Ricky Holland in the deep off a high full toss from Kade Burns. Though it was the Lions second loss of the season, and they currently sit in unfamiliar territory outside the top four, there was plenty to be optimistic about for Paynter and his men - particularly with the bat. “It was a really good feeling to beat Pakenham on their home deck,” Avery said in the wake of the contest. “We’ve had a really tough time there the last few years so to get one back on them was good. “Sean Gramc and (Troy) McDermott (37 not out) probably had us to be honest. They needed five runs an over with the field spread (and) they were cruising. “Sean Gramc playing the shot he did probably won us the game, really.” In the other game of the round on Saturday, Clyde capitalised on its strong start with the ball to defeat Merinda Park on the first innings. In response to the Cobras’ 109 all out, the Cougars reached 162 just inside 64 overs with Shane Webster starring with his second half-century of the season to date. Sent in for the final 19 overs of the game, the Cobras finished on 2/76 in their second innings with opener Daniel McCalman continuing his impressive start to the season with the willow - with his 30 not out taking his season tally to a Premier-leading 213 runs at an average of 71.

Callum’s as keen as By Russell Bennett “At the end of my career, I just want to be able to say I’ve done everything I could do to make it - that’s working as hard as I can, making those sacrifices, and just dedicating myself to my footy.” That, single quote from Officer young-gun Callum Porter sums him up perfectly. The 18-year-old has an insatiable appetite for excellence - an unflinching resolve in his relentless pursuit to be everything he can be. It’s a quality - a competitive edge - that sets him apart and has the outgoing Gippsland Power vice-captain on the verge of AFL draft selection. More than just about anyone, he knows the true value of hard work. He was named in the initial Vic Country squad this year but didn’t make the final side. But instead of feeling dejected, it only served to spur him on to winning the Power’s time-honoured best and fairest award. Following his brilliant 2017 campaign, he’s also gone on to showcase his talents at the state combine and even interviewed with a pair of AFL clubs. “You have to be honest because if they’re asking you certain things they probably already know the answer and they’ve got a pretty good grasp on your footy because they’ve been watching you for a long time,” he said of the AFL recruiters. “A lot of the questions, even the curly ones they ask, you wonder why they’d ask it, but I think they’re just trying to see how you respond when you’re thrown something a bit left of centre. It’s a good gauge of your self-awareness and how well you know yourself and your game.” Porter has a remarkable maturity beyond his years. It’s another trait of his that sets him apart, and has him well on the path to success.

Officer young-gun Callum Porter approaches his goals in the same way as he attacks the footy – Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT head on, and with ferocity. 174561 “No one can have a perfect season - I think you’re always going to have a bad game here and there - but I think I was fairly consistent,” he said looking back on his 2017 campaign. “Regardless of what point of the season it was, my focus has just been on playing to the final siren. “Even if we were out of games in the second half I’d always try and push myself to stay relentless and not let the scoreboard dictate how I went about the contest. “In terms of the draft, it’s just been about keeping a pretty level head because so many

players nominate for the draft each year and there’s only that 80-odd spots. “Realistically you have to keep a pretty level head because there are no guarantees on draft night. “Whichever opportunity you get, whether that is on draft night or in the VFL or wherever you end up, it’s just about putting your best foot forward.” The AFL National Draft will be held at the Sydney Showgrounds on 24 November, with the Rookie and Pre-Season drafts to follow on the 27th.
