When teachers told then four-year old Josh last year about how Aussie farmers were battling the drought he knew he wanted to do something to help. Josh's mum Lyndall Fokkens said while he was at Berwick Kindergarten he was "very keen to do something to raise money

for the farmers." With his passion for bike riding Lyndall encouraged Josh to do a 'Bike-A-Thon' at the bike track on Avebury Drive in Berwick on Tuesday 22 January with all money raised going towards the Drought Angels. "He loves riding and he loves the bike track so we thought let's just drum up a little bit of interest," she said.

Outrage over parking fines By Brendan Rees Confused drivers are being stung with parking fines at the front of two hospitals along Kangan Drive in Berwick, with some describing it as "disgusting." Visitors and patients of St John of God Hospital and Casey Hospital are finding themselves with an unexpected $161 ticket on their windscreens after Casey Council introduced new parking restrictions last July.Lynbrook resident Michael Drew said he was slapped with a fine within three minutes of parking on the 13 December last year as he was about to visit a specialist at St John of God Hospital. "It was pouring rain. They've (parking officers) actually got out of their car and done that in the rain." He says council are "making money out of vulnerable people" from the parking ban, which affects about 40 parking spaces. "All it does is emphasize that it's just wrong. You can't be making money like this." The signs on Kangan Drive, which were installed on Friday 13 July 2018, show 'no stopping' restrictions from 7.30am - 9.30am and 2.30pm - 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. During other hours of the day, parking is restricted to two hours. Since his fine, Mr Drew has been out at Kangan Drive most mornings while the ban was in place to warn other motorists. He says he's "saved" more than 60 people from a potential parking fine. This included four pregnant women and a disabled man on Friday 11 January. However, he said up to 27 people were being booked on any given day."They're all parked here because everyone else is ... it's 100 per cent deceiving." According to Mr Drew, he says council must change the signs to a clearway: "If they're nabbing people every day clearly it's not working." "They're paying 100 bucks to see a specialist and coming back here and paying $161 for the privilege of doing it." "The council will say it's really bad in the school hours which it is but you don't nail people 10 grand a week," he said. The new parking signs and the VMS board was displayed for a week after the new signs were installed with the message reading "changed parking conditions now in effect".

Dave Chapman cannot believe the parking ban.

Kuna Pnosamy was hit with an unexpected $161 parking fine on Kangan Drive, Berwick. 189147 Pictures: BRENDAN REES Casey's city design and construction manager Trevor Griffin said in response to community concerns Council introduced the new parking restrictions along Kangan Drive to improve traffic flow for vehicles approaching the Clyde Road intersection. "Following the installation of the new parking signs, several visual aids were installed to help drivers identify the changed conditions including VMS boards and corflute signage," he said. "Commuters using the precinct have been experiencing congestion and travel delays due to the proximity of the hospitals, with a high volume of traffic choosing to park along Kan-

gan Drive to avoid paying for parking within the hospitals." Marie, who asked not publish not publish her surname, said it wasn't fair: "When people are here for medical treatment obviously they're sick, and to be making money off sick people is disgusting." Another motorist, Kuna Pnosamy, who was slapped with a parking fine on Friday 11 January, said "it's pretty confusing." "I would rather pay $15 parking instead of $161 fine," he said. Kevin Jong, who had to take his wife for an ultrasound appointment admitted the signs

Michael Drew says vulnerable people should not be targeted with parking fines on Kangan Drive. were "very deceiving." Dave Chapman, who also had a doctor's appointment said he had "look at the bloody time" to understand the signs. "You should be able to park somewhere here on the street." "It's ridiculous," motorist Eric Vesel said, as he pulled up to make a phone call on Friday 11 January. "It shouldn't be about money making, it should be about what's fair." Elderly man Bob Cummings described the parking situation as "bloody awful." "I'm only a pensioner, and I had an operation on my back ... flabbergasted to be honest," he said.

Burglary victim offers $10,000 reward By Jessica Anstice A burglary victim has offered to pay a reward of $10,000 for the return of sentimental family jewellery stolen during a raid. The Berwick home was broken into overnight on Wednesday, 9 January, whilst the house was unoccupied. A rose gold bangle with a milk opal and a safety chain that was handed down from its owner's mother, an opal sea shell necklace, pearls, rings including wedding and engagement were among the items of jewellery taken. Two televisions and a collection of Swarovs-

ki Disney crystals were also stolen. Further, an Order of Australia Medal that was awarded to the homeowner for her welfare work was also taken. These are sentimental items that are hard to replace."It's a warning that it can happen to just ordinary people. It's really disappointing," the homeowner said. "Don't assume that you are protected, you need to install security and put your precious things away." Anyone with information is urged to contact Narre Warren Police on 9705 3111 or Tania on 0417 138 193.

IN BRIEF

Doing it for Lucas By Jessica Anstice Officer resident John Schafer wants to give back to the people that helped his three year old son Lucas through cancer treatment. Lucas was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia when he was just 16 months old, on 19 September in 2016. Mr Schafer is fundraising for the different departments at the Monash Children's Hospital through the Monash Health Foundation (MHF) that help sick and scared children when going through treatment with activities such as arts therapy, music therapy and play therapy. The MHF guided Mr Schafer through the process of setting up an online fundraising page, ran by MHF called Everyday Hero. With a bunch of prizes to give away, donated by local business, Mr Schafer will be selling raffle tickets and holding a card night. He will also be cutting a ribbon shape in his hair and dying it yellow. "The money we raise will go to the music therapy department. Last year we did the arts therapy department by holding this fundraiser," Mr Schafer said. "There will be plenty of instruments for the therapists and children to use so we are really hoping that local businesses will get on board and help us put a smile on the children's faces. "If anybody has a music shop it would be really nice if we could get a discount and get more bang for our money." Mr Schafer said, "Having the support of family, friends and the wonderful people at the children's cancer centre means it makes our families journey through this a bit more bearable. "It's real easy to forget about Lucas sister Lauren, age five, we also need to remind ourselves that Lauren too needs time for herself playing with her friends or cousin." If you would like to make a donation, go to Everyday Hero, click on the search bar, and type in John Schafer Children's Cancer Centre.

On 11 January, a story was shared on the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page about confused drivers are being stung with parking fines at the front of two hospitals along Kangan Drive in Berwick, with some describing it as "disgusting". Here is how some readers reacted online:

Tom Gibson

Pakenham Berwick Cranbourne Drouin

OPINION

Sharon Gee: Nothing confusing about it if you can read and understand English. Glenda Lambie: What's confusing about that no standing? So basically you can park for up to two hours from 9.30am to 2.30pm only Monday to Friday and then as long as you like after 4.30pm Monday to Friday. Gee if you cant work that out then you shouldn't be driving!Melinda Ryan: That is not a confusing parking sign. People just need to read the signs. Alan Thompson: Public hospital should have free parking for a start. Leanne Jones: Sneaky council fund raising. When the specialists start appointments at 9am, it's ludicrous that the parks near the hospitals don't allow parking till 9.30am. The car parking area isn't being utilised as an added lane in peak hour, so there's no point. Nicole Topp: The hospital needs more parking. It's ridiculous! Most of those people parking on the road are probably employees. They need to build a multilevel car park to cater for staff and visitors.

Goodnight Garfield. Another lovely sunset over Garfield.

A Cranbourne North secondary school student’s bright artwork where “everyone counts” will become a visible image on the roads. Alkira Secondary College Year 9 student Laura Marzec won first place in last year’s Wallara ‘Picture This’ art competition, and will appear on a Wallara Australia bus. Wallara, a Dandenong-based disability support service for adults in the South-East, invited secondary students to get creative and produce artwork under the theme ‘social inclusion for people with different abilities.’ Laura said her artwork depicted a world globe with people raising and holding their hands, with “everyone feeling valued, important and happy.” “In the design, the houses are close together and look similar, this promotes our society having equal opportunities for everyone,” she said. “The colours I used in this design I think are eye catching, bright, happy and I wanted this drawing to have contrast.“ Laura’s entry wowed a panel of eight judges from Wallara which also earned her a cheque for $250. The competition is held annually at two South-East schools to inspire students to depict social inclusion. Last year, Hallam Senior College and Alkira Secondary College were the chosen schools.

Forgiving Tree appeal helps many People across the Casey Cardinia region donated more than $10,000 worth of gifts and non-perishable food items to the Casey Cardinia Libraries (CCL) Forgiving Tree Appeal in the lead up to Christmas. In years past, library members were able to get their library fines waived in return for donated gifts and food. However in 2018 CCL permanently removed overdue fines, which changed the focus of this year's campaign. The Forgiving Tree has provided a call to action for people wanting to pay it forward and help people doing it tough. CCL CEO Chris Buckingham said it was inspiring to witness the generosity of library members, even when the waiving of overdue fines was no longer an incentive. The removal of overdue fines at CCL has proved a great success. There has been a relatively small increase in overdue items, more items are being borrowed and there has been a marked reduction in 'lost items'. Mr Buckingham said, "Our members have demonstrated just how committed and giving they are. It's clear that they are motivated to help others and we're delighted to be able to facilitate their compassion through our libraries. "This time of year can be difficult for many. There are a lot of added pressures. "The Forgiving Tree encouraged our community to step up and contribute to a brighter Christmas for locals in need." CCL partnered with eight local charities dur-

Berwick local Melinda Bowd was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis two decades ago and went from being an extremely active mother of three and a full time nurse, to experiencing unbearable pain on a daily basis - eventually having to leave her job. A form of chronic disease, psoriatic arthritis destroys joints and causes inflammation in the surrounding connective tissues, muscles and tendons. While there is no cure, Ms Bowd believes that becoming an advocate for her own health has been key to living effectively with a chronic disease. Almost 20 years on, and after five knee arthroscopies and overcoming thyroid cancer, she still exudes positivity and resilience. “I’m more passionate than ever about advocating for and helping others living with my condition,” she said. Ms Bowd believes that advocating for your health is important, but she also stresses that this doesn’t mean doing it alone. In her case, she visits her GP and rheumatologist regularly to help her manage her pain, and her qualifications as a nurse and a background in psychology allow her to nurture her mental health. She is also a patient council member for Victoria for CreakyJoints Australia, an organisation which provides support, education, research and advocacy to patients and families affected by arthritis. Ms Bowd encourages other Australians to become their own health advocate and live a fuller life with chronic disease, sharing six tips to get started: There is more than one option Ask questions Research, to an extent Seek support It’s different for everyone You are not a slave to the disease CreakyJoints Australia website: www.creakyjoints.org.au

Ensure your pet’s registration is paid Is your pet’s registration and details up-to-date with the City of Casey? There’s still a number of pet owners who have not renewed their pet’s 2018 registration, and council is reminding those residents to either advise us if their circumstances have changed or to pay their renewal urgently. Those who haven’t renewed their registration for reasons such as moving to another municipality or because their pet has passed on, are encouraged to contact Council so the pet’s details and records can be updated. To advise council if your circumstances have changed email caseycc@casey.vic.gov. au or call 9705 5200, otherwise you can renew your animal(s) registration online on the pet registration page to avoid further action. It’s mandatory under state legislation that all dogs and cats over three months of age are registered with their local council. From this week, council’s City Compliance team will be proactively following up on unpaid animal registrations from 2018 (which were due on 10 April) and conducting property visits across the municipality. Infringements will be issued for all animals that are found to be not registered, with the current infringement for ‘failing to renew registration’ being $322 per animal. Registration helps Council to reunite lost pets with their owners if they become lost, including after hours. Pet registration fees also support Council to deliver a range of other important animal related services including pet events, collecting stock on roads and ensuring pet shops, shelters and breeders are managed in accordance with Codes of Practice.

Runner are encouraged to try out the track at KM Reedy Reserve ahead of this weekend’s launch.

Join in a parkrun Is your pet’s registration and details up-to-date with the City of Casey? In the past year, the fees have assisted council to manage 1.04 hectares of dog parks in Casey, respond to 9953 animal related enquiries and collect more than 1600 lost pets and reunite them with their owners where possible. Have a new pet?

Right now, if you register your pet with council for the first time, you receive an extended registration period until 10 April 2020. Registration is an annual process, with renewals due on 10 April each year. To find out more and to register a new pet with council, visit council’s pet registration webpage.

Our sweltering shame By Rowan Forster Victoria's triple-zero service has revealed both Pakenham and Berwick are hotspots for toddlers and children being locked inside sweltering cars. It comes as yet another three kids were reportedly left inside a vehicle near Heritage Springs Shopping Centre on Tuesday afternoon, despite the scorching heat. The mercury skyrocketed to 38 degrees Celsius in Pakenham, with the temperature expected to be at least 20 degrees hotter inside a vehicle. The Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) said last summer there were 564 cases of a child being locked in a hot car. On average, emergency services responded to six calls a day, with 199 call-outs in January alone. Joining Pakenham and Berwick as the most troublesome suburbs were Frankston, Preston and Dandenong. ESTA's executive director of operations Patrick Berry urged parents and carers to remember that the temperature inside a car could be 20 to 30 degrees hotter than outside. He said there is no excuse for leaving children or pets in hot cars. "If you see a child or pet locked in a car make sure you call triple zero (000) and state your location clearly to the operator," he said.

Those who see children or pets locked inside a hot car are urged to call triple-zero. "If you are in a car park, look for landmarks, section names, numbers or the colour of the parking bay so you can provide specific details." Mr Berry said he hoped that the number of calls would drop with community awareness. Jason Chambers, Kidsafe Victoria general

manager, said leaving a child unattended in a car, even for a short time, was dangerous. "Most of the temperature rise inside a car occurs within the first five minutes and leaving the windows down has little effect on the temperature rise," he said. "A child's body temperature rises three to

five times faster than an adult, which places children at greater risk of suffering from dehydration and life threatening heatstroke. "It's a good idea to keep your keys on you at all times when packing and unpacking the car to reduce the risk of your keys accidentally becoming locked in the car with a child."

Cash for troubled youth By Rowan Forster My Place and the Pakenham Health Centre will reap the benefits of a record $1.45 billion mental health federal funding cash splash - in a funding model shake-up set to offer local organisations and patients greater long term certainty. Health Minister Greg Hunt joined Latrobe MP Jason Wood at Main Street's My Place hub on 16 January, spruiking the benefits for Pakenham, Beaconsfield and Berwick. It is believed the investment could facilitate the development of a second storey at the council-operated youth facility. The organisations will also be spared the uncertainty of re-tendering for contracts ever year, providing greater security for staff and those experiencing mental health conditions. "Community mental health is about delivering people outcomes in their own communities, and My Place is an example of this," Mr Hunt said. "It is helping to run the Bounce Back program and the South East Melbourne Public Health Network (PHN) and Cardinia Shire are cooperating. "They are delivering outcomes to these magnificent young people and giving them hope, support and a pathway to a really bright future." My Place is reportedly bursting at the seams, with both counsellor rooms frequently booked out.

The funding will encompass an estimated $617 million for youth mental health, $399 million for psychological therapies, $177 million for mental health nurses, $77 million for suicide prevention, $74 million for mental health in aged care and $89 million for indigenous mental health. "This amazing group of young Australians here in Pakenham are dealing with the day to day challenges that people face, and they're able to access this support because of the PHN funding," Mr Hunt added. PHNs has tirelessly been pushing for long term contracts to replace the annual re-tendering process, amid concerns for the disruption to critical patient services. "It's great to be able to launch the service here at a local facility," Kiera Mansfield, general manager of South East Melbourne PHN, said. "When we started this journey with the young people in this region two years ago, we asked a young girl named Lucy what her experience had been to date. "She said 'I'm either too unwell or I'm not unwell enough to get the help and services I need' and we took her as our champion and built the service with her in mind." In 2017-18, about 200,000 Australians used more than 900,000 services through local PHN-commissioned mental health providers, Department of Health data shows. Latrobe MP Jason Wood said the funding was

vital for the electorate, which has seen heartwrenching rates of suicide over recent years. "This announcement is going to do great things not only for young people in Pakenham, but also in Berwick and Beaconsfield," Mr Wood said. "The sad reality is some people think they're escaping something and helping people out by

taking their own lives. "In actual fact, they're just leaving a trail of misery and unanswered questions. "Over the years we've had some really bad news in Latrobe, and we even had to put up suicide prevention barriers along the train line, so I'm stoked to be putting money into mental health."

New jobs in cafe culture By Brendan Rees A new cafe has opened in Cranbourne East with the aim of providing a “second chance” for marginalised people to land a job. The cafe, L’Arte Central, will train people with mental health challenges to gain or return to employment, education, volunteering or other meaningful activities. City of Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon joined the team of L’Arte Central to officially open the social enterprise cafe at 65 BerwickCranbourne Road, Cranbourne East in December. Life Central managing director Drew Gormlie said the cafe would create pathways for people into mainstream community life and help realise their full potential. “At L’Arte we don’t employ people to make coffee; we make coffee to employ people,“ he said. He said $125,000 had been raised to go towards building the facility with another

$200,000 needed to complete renovations. “We are still in the process of raising money but we have received $50,000 from the Lord Mayors Charitable Foundation and over $50,000 from private donors in the past year.“ It’s expected the cafe will open its doors to the public in March next year. “Life Central Services has invested considerable time, effort and finances over the last three years to get to the point where the cafe is no longer an idea,“ Mr Gormlie said. “Everyone deserves the opportunity to have meaningful employment as it provides so many benefits: income, connection and training.“ Mr Gormlie hoped the cafe would be a “vehicle“ for changing community attitudes towards those with mental health challenges. “As your coffee and food is prepared and served to you, L’Arte Central will be teaching hospitality and life skills to increase their employment opportunities and community engagement.“

Celebrating the launch of the café was from left, non-executive director Anthony Cheeseman, unsuccessful Liberal candidate for Cranbourne Ann-Marie Hermans, Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon, Life Central managing director managing director Drew Gormlie and executive director Rex Hartley. 188595 Picture: GARY SISSONS

Students learn all the dramas of ‘getting smashed’ By Cam Lucadou-Wells The Smashed Project is proof that learning can be entertaining - even on the serious issue of underage drinking. Theatre-in-education group Gibber Australia visited Hampton Park and Lyndhurst secondary colleges late last year as part of a national tour that’s reached 140 schools and 30,000 Year 8 and 9 students. Students don’t want to be lectured on “this stuff”, says Gibber Australia chief executive Tim Watt. “It talks in a language they understand, and in a way that entertains and engages them.”

The show aims for relevance. It portrays “pretty ordinary” teen characters in a slice of life, tackling the pressures to “fit in” and to “look cool”. The script is regularly updated with the language of the schoolyard. “If it’s unbelievable, they’re not going to go for it,” Mr Watt said. The play ends with an accident that has long-term consequences. The students then take part in interactive workshops, examining the choices made in the play’s “sliding doors” moments. Effectively, they’re advising each other on the dangers and the consequences, Mr Watt said.

Months down the track, sometimes the actors get a hint of the impact they have. Such as a student in the audience who stops her binge drinking and summons the courage to seek help. In a post-audience survey, 85 per cent said they were unlikely to drink alcohol underage. But overall, the stats aren’t as bad as people think. According to official surveys, less underage Australians were drinking or taking part in the binge culture of generations gone by, Mr Watt said. “The younger generation are taking on board the message about the risks of alcohol.”

The Smashed Project has visited Greater Dandenong schools as part of a national tour.

ON THE COVER

AWARD WINNING VINEYARD A RARE DROP CANNIBAL Creek Vineyard, with its award winning winery, restaurant and cellar door, is one of Gippsland’s premier up and coming properties. Situated close to Melbourne, just outside the booming suburb of Pakenham and the future growth area of Nar Nar Goon, Cannibal Creek was established over 20 years ago on Cannibal Creek. The property boasted an initial planting of 5 hectares of vines, a winery and shedding. A stylish, architect designed restaurant was built two years ago. The restaurant seats approximately 60 and features hand-made timber trusses and a hemp feature surrounding the fireplace. There is also a separate cellar room. The the three bedroom homestead (circa 1920) is a character-filled period style house with cathedral ceilings and great views. It has a pool as well as a feature dam in the garden and majestic trees. Cannibal Creek is the home of Pat and Kirsten Hardiker who are very proud of their accomplishments and awards. Cannibal Creek Vineyard took out a staggering nine awards, including wine of the show, at the annual French-Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Wine Show , Le Concours des Vins de Victoria in 2014.

Cannibal Creek Chardonnay 2010 claimed a gold medal and was declared Best Open Class Chardonnay, Best White Wine of the Show and Best Wine of the Show. Cannibal Creek Pinot Noir 2012 and 2013 also received gold medals and three further medals were awarded for the Chardonnay 2009, Pinot Noir 2010 and Cabernet Merlot 2013. Head judge of the show and member of the prestigious Grand Jury Européen and legendary Le Figaro wine writer Bernard Burtschy was so impressed by Cannibal Creek that he took time out of his brief trip to visit the vineyard. “To make wines of this quality you must have good taste!“ he declared. Other awards include the Casey Cardinia Business Award in 2017 in the Hospitality category. Wine writer James Halliday gave the 2016 Cannibal Creek Reserve Pinot Noir 95 out of100, while Jeremy Oliver has also highly rated their wines saying that the Cannibal Creek Reserve Sauvignon Blan 2017 was ‘... one of the few Australian... that can rival the best from Marlborough’. The winery is fully equipped to process 40 plus tonne or grapes. The modern, quality equipment includes air bag press, crusher and destemmer, elevator, sorting table and transfer pump and must pump and tank storage for about 30,000 litres, many barrels and approximately 60000 bottles of wine stock at any given time. There is a packing shed with coolroom, a workshop, machinery shed and stockyards. The vineyard comes with all vineyard equipment and tractors. The property has panoramic views of Mt Cannibal and is set on granite soils unique to the area an There are approximately 7000 vines of various Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon , Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay varieties. A 6.5 megalitre dam provides ample irrigation water through a drip system. Water can also be found in other dams, Cannibal Creek , water tanks and mains water. Set on 29 Hectares (69 acres) there is plenty of room for growth. ●

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region

Businesses look to 2019 For the first Grow Casey Cardinia of the new year we catch up with some of the entrepreneurs profiled in 2018 for an update on their business journeys.

Jax Wax CEO Tina Copland. 179765 Motov8 founder John McMahon addresses a group of teenage boys. Motov8 - Founder John McMahon 2018 has been a huge year for Motov8. I basically stopped marketing to schools and started marketing directly to parents through Facebook. I started booking out venues in Warragul, Traralgon, Wonthaggi, Casey and the Northern suburbs and I also went to Queensland and Perth doing these events motovating boys. Basically, I book the venue, I set up an advertising campagin on Facebook, parents book and turn up on the night with their boys. I had 273 people at the largest one. In January I am doing a tour from Melton to Canberra. I changed what I was doing because it was almost impossible to get through to the right people in schools. This way I get to speak directly to boys and their families. I am on the road a lot now. I have a team of people that come with me to my events to help me run them. I want to get to the point where my events are being held in every state in Australia. The most exciting thing about 2019 will be the launch of my new business, Savage Angels, which is Motov8 for girls. The slogan behind the business is that not all girls want to have fun.

Archna, Gary, Sabina and Nancy Muhar are the passionate family team behind Grumpy Gary's hot sauces.176940 Grumpy Garys - Nancy Muhar 2018 was huge for us! We entered the Australian Food Awards and won three medals - Gold, Silver and Bronze - in the different categories. There has been a very high demand from customers requesting us to create delicious sauces with the world’s hottest chilli – the Carolina Reaper, and we didn’t disappoint. We’ve released our hottest flavours yet and given them awesome names and taglines - Butt Tickler (butt, you won’t be laughing), Burns Twice (what goes in.. must come out) and The Ripper (warning: may rip you a new one!). The Ripper has been rated at a whopping 17/10 burn, and is flying off the shelves! With the great success of our sauces in Australia, we are not far off from entering the international market. We want to say a big thank you to our amazing customers for helping our family turn our dream into reality. viting businesses all around Australia and registered commercial kitchens to partner with us to help those in need. Under the initiative we hope to encourage people to get 20 or more colleagues together to share in a Community Table lunch. The food will be delivered to the workplace and cost no more than what you would normally pay for an off-site lunch. Part of the proceeds will be ’paid forward’ to those less fortunate. And to add a little fuel to the fire, there’s a possibility that a major player in the Aussie food world (can’t mention names yet) will align and support the initiative. Tall, Dark and Nutty and Luxe Grazing Founder Jade Fraser It has been difficult to continue my businesses, Luxe Grazing and Tall, Dark and Nutty, with all the health regulations and the costs associated with getting a business going. The muesli business had to take a back seat to the grazing boards, which just took off. I had people asking me about orders for next year. Unfortunately, I was running my businesses out of my mum’s kitchen and we would have had to install a second sink to meet health regulations. It was a very difficult decision, but in the end it wasn’t worth the investment or the headache. With the muesli the volume I had to produce to make it profitable was beyond what I could do on my own. I have now joined forces with Clive Canal helping him with his business, Whozcookn. Clive needed admin assistance and he knew I have a real passion for food and for social enterprise. We met and got talking when we both co-worked at the Waterman Business Centre. I have reached out to a few celebrity chefs and I hope to be interviewing Maggie Beer in January for the Whozcookn website. My goal is to pursue a career in food writing. I would love to do a Bachelor of Arts in writing and write for magazines.

In true start up fashion, we had to pivot in July this year to really drill into what our consumers wanted from a car advice website. Free sold price reports have garnered us the right attention, to now have built our following up to over 1000 report downloads per month. We have been in contact with many car dealers and have managed to build a relationship with regional dealerships whom we have been able to send leads to. We are always on the lookout for more dealerships who have the same values as Carloop - honesty and transparency for consumers. We want to continue building our consumer network and growing our dealership database with the intention to bring phase two of Carloop online in the new year - a quotation portal for new car buyers and interested dealerships to transact through.

Schools are the key to active children says expert Sport Australia CEO Kate Palmer says schools are a key vehicle to solving the nation’s inactivity crisis. Ms Palmer launched the 31st Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER) International Conference at the AIS this week. Sport Australia is sponsoring and hosting the ACHPER conference at its AIS campus in Canberra, with 250 delegates from around the world including physical education teachers, sport educators, coaches and associated health practitioners. A report card released by the Active Healthy Kids Australia late last year scored Australia a D-minus for children’s physical activity levels, ranking the nation 32 of 49 countries. Research

shows 81 per cent of Australian children are not meeting our physical activity guidelines. “This is not good enough because we know sport and physical activity can play a crucial role in the holistic development of children, putting them on the path to vibrant and productive lives,” Ms Palmer said. “It can impact positively on their physical and mental health, social development, and their ability to learn. “There is also a long-term gain because we know children who grow up active and playing sport are 10 per cent more likely to remain active as adults. “We want to make daily physical activity a part of every child’s life and we believe

a key vehicle to solving our inactivity crisis is through schools. We want to support schools and teachers to deliver high quality physical education because we believe that is a critical vehicle for children to develop the confidence, competence and the motivation required to move. “Sport Australia is committed to making Australia the world’s most active nation and that will require generational change. Sport Australia wants to work collaboratively with the education sector and with organisations such as ACHPER, so together we can get Australian children moving more often.” The Australian Government’s $200 million Sporting Schools program, managed by Sport Australia, is one example of how Australian

children get free access to physical activity. In just over three years, the program has reached 84 per cent of Australian schools. “Despite the program’s enormous reach, evidence tells us we need more. Increasingly, Australian children are unable to perform basic fundamental movement skills such as running, throwing, kicking, catching or jumping," Ms Palmer said. “Sport Australia is developing a national commitment to increase physical literacy by embedding it within education environments. Our focus is on ensuring all young Australians have access to the volume of time and the quality of experience needed to ensure they develop into more physically literate Australians.”

Keeping children safe Kidsafe Victoria has released a warning on the dangers of low speed run overs in the lead up to the start of the new school year - a time that signifies increased activity around driveways, school drop off zones and school crossings. The organisation said that the start of the new school year brings a reminder for motorists to be extra vigilant around crowded school areas, including obeying speed limits, crossing signals and parking and drop off zone rules, so as not to create dangerous pedestrian situations for children. Jason Chambers, General Manager of Kidsafe Victoria, noted that child pedestrians are at increased risk of injury because unlike adults, they can't see over parked cars, they can't tell where sounds are coming from and they think that if they can see you, you can see them. An emphasis is also being placed on safety around driveways with Kidsafe Victoria highlighting them as one of the most dangerous

areas around the home. "A large number of driveway run over incidents occur in the morning and late afternoon, both of which are busy times for families coming to and from school, kindergarten and work", said Mr Chambers. Most driveway run overs occur in the driveway of the child's own home, or in a friend or relative's driveway. The driver is usually a parent, relative or family friend. In the majority of cases, the driver doesn't know that the child is close to the vehicle, they believe that they are being looked after elsewhere. Mr Chambers said that it was important to remember that children are unpredictable and surprisingly quick, which places them at high risk around moving vehicles. "All cars have large blind spots, some more than 15 metres. Children's small size, together with these large blind spots, means that children standing or stepping behind the vehicle often cannot be seen from the driver's seat."

It was a well attended night with several Melbourne Renegades stars, state MPs, the Casey mayor and members of the public helping launch the new cricket academy.

Nabi launches academy By Nick Creely While Afghanistan international star Mohammad Nabi continues to build an almighty reputation on-field in the Big Bash League for the Melbourne Renegades, his off-field impact is just as meaningful. The 34-year-old Afghan cricketer - who participated in the first Test match and ODI for his country in recent years - recently launched his very own cricket academy, all to inspire the next generation of cricketers coming through. A star spinner and aggressive middle-order batsman, Nabi has travelled globally playing limited overs cricket, and has established himself as one of the most versatile cricketers on the planet. The launch - which was held at Casey Fields, home of the Cranbourne Cricket Club - on Friday 4 January, was well attended by

members of the public, with special guests such as fellow Afghan star Rashid Khan, Melbourne Renegades players Tom Cooper, Joe Mennie, Cameron Boyce, Usman Shinwari and Jack Wildermuth, as well as Renegades coach Andrew McDonald, with state MPs and the Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon also helping kick things off. The Nabi International Cricket Academy (NICA) is all about giving players opportunities and pathways to gain the necessary skills to improve their game, and strive to deliver high quality cricket coaching with an aim to develop international players. The training provided by the NICA will cater to aspiring boys and girls who want to improve their game, and ultimately, reach the highest level, with the academy hoping to develop state-of-the-art cricket coaching and training

academies in Australia, which has a growing Afghan community, Afghanistan and United Kingdom. There will be both an Australian program, which will kick off in the summer of 2019 and run for 10 weeks to fit in with the start of the cricket season, as well as an Afghanistan Academy. Roman Sadath, the president of NICA, said that the launch was a success, and hopes the academy can continue to grow as it builds. "First of all I would express my sincere gratitude to everybody for supporting and helping with Nabi international Cricket Academy," he said. "The grand opening was a great success. I am very happy and excited to see great national and international players who attended

the launch. "It was also a very proud moment for me and others to see high profile guests present at the launch." Sadath encourages everyone who has high aspirations in cricket to jump onboard, and believes the lessons that can be taught by Nabi will hold future generations in good stead. "Nabi International Cricket Academy is a multicultural academy and we are very delighted that we had people from different backgrounds," he said. "Nabi is one of the best cricket all-rounders in the world. He is very passionate and dedicated to pass on his knowledge and experience to others through this academy."

Runs galore at Park in a massive Turf 1 blockbuster By Nick Creely DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION TURF 1- ROUND 9 AND 10 A run-fest between two star-studded sides well and truly in the race for the DDCA Turf 1 premiership. What more could you ask for? Buckley Ridges and Springvale South combined for a total of 578 runs in 80 overs at Park Oval during the blockbuster Round 9 clash on Saturday, but in the end, the Bucks - the ladder leaders - held off the Bloods. Returning from injury, Bucks skipper David White (149 not out) put on an absolute clinic, sending the ball flying to all parts, sending 15 fours to the boundary and eight whopping sixes. The Bucks were off to a blistering start despite an early wicket, with Daniel Watson (53 off 33 balls) in an ominous mood, but gun quick Matt Wetering (2/50) managed to stem the bleeding somewhat. But White combined with Susa Pradeep (43) for an entertaining 101 run partnership, and the Bloods were merciless to stop the Bucks from compiling a mammoth total. Eventually, the home side reached 5/301 off their 40 overs, at an alarming run-rate of 7.5 an over. Adventurous opener Nathan King (83) plundered eight sixes as the Bloods gave the chase an almighty shake, but the Bloods were restricted to 9/277, with a crucial spell by tweaker Matthew Goodwright (3/26) proving the difference. Elsewhere, Mordialloc continued their berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

stunning resurgence by dominating HSD at Reedy Reserve. The Cobras were skittled for a lowly 104 off 35 overs, with Liam Bence (3/21) and Matthew Newman (3/22) each starring with the ball. The reigning premiers wasted little time, running the target down with over 16 overs to spare, with Ian Daniel (29) and Damith Mapa Ralage (29) getting some runs. Premiership fancy Hallam Kalora Park, meanwhile, got the job done against North Dandenong at Frawley Road, with the Hawks cementing themselves firmly inside the top four. The Hawks did a solid job with the ball after a terrific start by Maroons openers Syed Mehmood (38) and Shehan Fernando (46), holding the visitors to 8/161 off their 40 overs. Gun all-rounder Jordan Hammond (46) got off to a blistering start, and the Hawks got the points with two overs to spare, with Ben Hillard (38 not out) and Leigh Booth (30) each contributing strongly. And capping off the round, Berwick gritted out a strong victory against St Mary's at Carroll Reserve. The Bears were sent in to bat and did a solid job on a pitch that has seen spinners dominate all year, and despite Ruwantha Kellepotha (2/26) impressing with the ball, the visitors worked their way to 6/173, with Jordan Cleland (50) and Josh Holden (56 not out) each striking half-centuries. With Rhys Serpanchy (29) and skipper Kaushalya Gajasinghe (57) looking ominous early, the Bears rallied to dismiss the home side for 148, with junior seamer Reiley Mark (3/37) and Cory Bevan (3/26) doing the bulk of

Sunday's Round 10 fixture was once again dominated by Buckley Ridges, who claimed a relatively easy eight-wicket win over North Dandenong. David White (56 not out) and Daniel Watson (61) once again led the way as the Bucks ran down the Maroons' lowly 134 in just 24 overs. Mordialloc also claimed a second win of the weekend after scratching their way past St

Mary's at Ben Kavanagh Reserve. Off the back of a Nuwan Kulasekera 70, the Bloodhounds posted 7/179 off 40, and the Saints got mighty close, finishing on 8/176 after Kaushalya Gajasinghe (48) once again impressed. In other games, Berwick (8/188) edged into the top four after knocking off HSD (159), while Springvale South (8/220) responded from their loss to the Bucks with an impressive win over Hallam Kalora Park (9/184).

Demons take care of Bulls By Nick Creely WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCIATION PREMIER - ROUND 9 Mark Cooper's Kooweerup just had too much class for Cardinia on Saturday. The Demons batted first and the fluency of openers Cooper and Chris O'Hara loomed brightest. The pair swiftly knocked their way to 85, before the skipper was dismissed for 27. O'Hara combined superbly with Chris Bright (70) to bring the innings back on track with a match defining 108-run stand, that lifted the Demons to an imposing 7/261 off 40 overs.

O'Hara made the Bulls pay, lifting his bat aloft for the first time since February 2014, in a sublime knock of 109. The Bulls got off to a slow start with Nooy and Ben Parrott back in the sheds within the first few overs, but gun recruit AJ Walker (102) took it to the Demons, blasting an excellent century before Cooper (2/48) broke through. The home side suffered a dramatic middleorder collapse - sparked by the brilliance of Jess Mathers (3/42) - going from 4/192 to 9/219 at the end of the 40 overs. Devon Meadows, meanwhile, picked up a

crucial victory against Clyde. The Cougars batted first and soon found themselves at 4/34, before managing to stumble their way to 7/158 after Jason Hameeteman (41) played a fine hand. Nathan Worsteling (49 not out) and Scott Clark (50) combined superbly for the Panthers, guiding the home side to victory. Tooradin survived a scare to bank vital points against Upper Beaconsfield. The Maroons bowled superbly, skittling the home side for just 124, with Jayden Joyce (3/30), Shawn Hassal (2/16) and Daniel Brennan (2/28) all impressing.

Imesh Jayasekara (48) looked in an ominous mood in reply, but his dismissal brought about a collapse and the Maroons fell over for just 81. Russ Lehman (2/17) and Bailey Lownds (3/13) were important. Pakenham did what they needed to do against Merinda Park. Off the back of an unbeaten 90 to gun opener Chris Smith, the Lions set the visitors 223 for victory. Despite Daniel McCalman (37) digging in, the visitors were rolled for 128, with Sean Gramc (3/29), Troy McDermott (2/32) and Jason Williams (2/2) doing the bulk of the damage.

By Nick Creely Courtesy of a searing Nathan Lambden spell and composed half centuries to Lachie Sperling and Jordan Wyatt, Casey-South Melbourne has started off 2019 in perfect fashion. Not only did the Swans knock over a strong St Kilda side - albeit with a few names missing - they cemented themselves firmly inside the Victorian Premier Cricket top eight, such has been their extraordinary rise this season. On a healthy looking Casey Fields pitch, it was obvious that for the batters, starting would be difficult, and that there was plenty on offer with the ball if the bowlers put it in the right spots. But after winning the toss and batting, Luke Wells (14), Ryan Quirk (18) and Jared Maxwell (4) soon found themselves in the shed, with quick Henry Hall doing plenty of damage early. Wells in particular was an early blow, with the Swans skipper often getting his side off to a strong start. Experience, and with just enough innovation to keep the scoreboard ticking along, Sperling (60) and Michael Wallace (33) dug in, forming a crucial partnership that took them to 3/117 before the departure of the latter brought the visitors back to level pegging. Coming off some runs just before the break, the aggressive Jordan Wyatt (58) - a player that never allows a bowler to settle into a rhythm - combined with Sperling to continue to tick the score along, and eventually the Swans mustered up 9/235 off their 50, with some late wickets taken by the visitors pegging the score back slightly. But, nonetheless, it was a strong total on that pitch, and an even clearer indication of just how much depth the Swans now possess with their batting. Often bowling without luck so far this season, Nathan Lambden (4/47) finally got just rewards with his efforts, with the Swans' spearhead rummaging through the top-order early to leave the visitors 2/3. It was just rewards for the talented quick, who after a quiet patch before Christmas, has got himself going now with 17 wickets at a touch under 25 next to his name.

Nathan Lambden charges in during his brilliant spell on Saturday. Picture:COURTESY OF ARJ GIESE/ CRICKET VICTORIA Jackson Fry (2/30) - working well with the new ball with Lambden - kept things tight while the spearhead looked to take wickets. A crucial partnership - similar to the first innings - began to unfold through the afternoon - with Damon Egan (50) and Josh Manning (46) fighting back, before Fry castled the stumps of the skipper to wrestle back the momentum and firmly have the Swans in command. While the Saints managed to claw their way to 213 after a brilliant Patrick Rowe (62) cameo, the pressure applied by the likes of Lambden, Fry, Josh Dowling (1/48), Luke Wells (1/42) and Lachie Sperling (2/42) ensured the home side were never really threatened. The seventh placed Swans face the 12th placed Northcote at Bill Lawry Oval on Saturday. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au
