traumatic disorder and had not returned to work. "Your conduct at the scene in the moments following the collision was callous and reprehensible," Judge Wraight said in his sentencing. He continued: "Your attitude which is apparent on the videos of your driving while your friend is encouraging you to go faster further demonstrates your complete lack of regarding for whom may be at risk as a result of your conduct." Reid finished Year 10 and did an electrical apprenticeship for 18 months before doing various labouring jobs. Reid was sentenced to a maximum of 10 years' jail and will be eligible for parole in seven years.

A drunk and ice-addled P-plate driver who hit speeds of up to 200km/h before he struck and killed an off-duty police officer on a memorial ride has been jailed. Jesse Reid of Botanic Ridge pleaded guilty to charges of culpable driving causing death and reckless conduct endangering life in the Victorian County Court sitting in Melbourne on 30 August. Reid was convicted after losing control at a bend, spinning the car into the path of 59-yearold Detective Senior Sergeant Victor Kostiuk. Mr Kostiuk's son Felix had been riding alongside him in the Wall to Wall motorbike charity ride to honour fallen police colleagues. The court heard Felix was about to perform CPR on his father when he was verbally abused by an enraged Reid who was bleeding from the temple and had his fists clenched, Judge Trevor Wraight said. Judge Wraight said Reid's actions "were entirely irresponsible and self-indulgent." In his sentencing findings, the Judge said Reid, 23, was in a hurry to get home from a trip to Merimbula after receiving the news his partner had gone into early labour last September. "OK drive safe, take your time and drive safely," his partner's mother said in a message. Reid asked his 16-year-old friend to blow into the alcohol interlock device fitted to his Holden Commodore so it would start, the court heard. They stopped at Eden to see friends, smoke ice and drink alcohol before continuing on the Princes Highway near Orbost. The court heard Reid asked his friend to blow again into the interlock device on another five occasions. Reid was seen by witnesses travelling at high speeds, overtaking cars on double white centre lines and driving around blind corners on the wrong side of the road. At one point, while Reid was in the passenger's seat, he took videos saying: "When you're too f----- to drive and your baby is being born your mate comes through," Judge Wraight said.

IN BRIEF
They’re barking mad By Brendan Rees Neighbours say they are being driven barking mad by the noise at the Berwick Obedience Dog Club. And they're not happy the club has recently applied to extend their hours at Kalora Park Reserve. Nearby resident Joan Morrison said the club had grown "threefold" bringing "bumper to bumper" traffic and noise to the area. "It's got out of hand," she said. "I've been woken up at 6.30am on a Sunday morning." "It's a shocking situation ... it's impacting on our lives and the environment," she said. Ms Morrison said although she was all for dog training, there appeared to be "no control" at the club with the majority of people gathering for the social aspect. "I went over there one Saturday ... they were just standing around talking and their dogs were barking at their feet and they didn't even shut them up." She said residents had been successful in getting no-standing signs installed after they complained of being blocked in their driveways. Council met with residents on Thursday 8 August to discuss their concerns regarding the traffic around the club. Casey acting manager of statutory planning and building services Nick Moore, said council was currently reviewing a request from the Berwick Obedience Club to extend their operating hours. The club is requesting to extend the hours to open at 9am on Saturday instead of 11.30am,
A Casey school's dream of opening a health training hub is one step closer thanks to the generosity of Rotary Club of Berwick. A donation of about $50,000 in medical equipment including five hospital beds will go towards Hallam Senior College's allied health training centre which is due to open next year. Other items include bed side tables, over bed cupboards, day chairs, wheels chairs, transfer boards, body lifters, crutches, physio tables, and disposal gloves. Community Services and Allied Health VET courses will be delivered at the new training centre with more than 40 students expected to participate. The school will also transform part of a building into a simulated hospital in a $20-$30 million refurbishment project. Rotary Club of Berwick members joined school staff and local politicians to discuss the project on Thursday 22 August. Hallam Senior College executive principal Greg McMahon said the donation was warmly welcomed, adding the program would ensure students were job-ready. "In a first for the College, the growing allied
A man has been airlifted to hospital with leg injuries following a crash in Narre Warren on Thursday morning, 29 August. Police say a Mazda and truck collided on the intersection of Narre Warren North Road and Kurrajong Road about 6am. The driver of the car, a 20-year-old Narre Warren man, was airlifted to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the truck, a 30-year-old Narre Warren man, and male passenger were both uninjured. The truck driver is assisting police with their enquiries and police are investigating. Any witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

and start the Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday sessions at 6.30pm, instead of 6.45 pm. "We are carefully considering all residents' concerns," Mr Moore said. "Council has identified an opportunity to include some other conditions, which would address the residents' concerns around amenity." He added: "This current permit does not place any limitations on the number of participants, and we do not have any plans to relocate the club." Four Oaks Ward councillor Rosalie Crestani said: "We will take on board concerns and try to put the best outcome for the community
and for the needs of the club." Meanwhile, Ms Morrison said there hadn't been as many cars or dogs at the reserve since the meeting. Another resident Robin Browne said the barking annoyed her because it was "so incessant." "We put in so much effort and tried to get compromises over the years," she said. "It had improved but it seems to be growing again." The Berwick Obedience Dog Club has been contacted for comment.

health - health services sector needs are being addressed with resources provided through a direct partnership with the Rotary Club of Berwick," he said. President of the Rotary Club of Berwick Isobel Caulfield said the donation was a joint effort with Rotary Donations in Kind who donate essential items to organisations around the world. "That's what Rotary is good at - is actually connecting people and joining the dots," she said. In another first, the College will team up with the South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN) to provide a program of study for young parents who would otherwise not finish school. "It's a very exciting time for young people who are pregnant and/or parenting to be able to return to their education and bring their baby with them," SELLEN partnerships facilitator Mary Tresize - Brown said. In the past four years since trialling the Young Parents Education Program more than 60 young parents have completed Year 12 education and are now in employed or undertaking tertiary study.
Police were called to a truck rollover in Clyde during the early hours of Saturday 31 August. Police say it's believed the b-double truck was travelling on Berwick-Cranbourne Road when it left the road and rolled at the intersection of Clyde-Five Ways Road about 2.20am. The sole occupant and driver of the truck was uninjured. Police are investigating the cause of the collision.
Council covers cost after vandalism act Last week Star News reported vandals had "smashed to pieces" an electronic box at the entry gate to Casey BMX based at Casey Fields. The incident took place sometime between Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon of 25-26 August. Council council confirmed it would be covering the damage costs which was undergoing repair.
Pair arrested following fatality A pair was arrested in Officer following a fatal hit-run collision on Clayton on Thursday 29 August.

Cody Holland isn't a fan of rowing but it didn't stop him from raising money for a superb cause. The 17-year-old took to the rowing machine at the Personal Performance Training Centre (PPTC) in Berwick on Saturday 24 August with every dollar raised going towards Guide Dogs Australia. He rowed for 12.464km on a row machine, raising about $540 after people donated to every kilometre Cody completed. "Everyone was very supportive of it; it was pretty motivating," Cody said. Cody, of Devon Meadows, said the owner of PPTC Locky Burke had thrown his support behind the cause, sponsoring him $10 for every kilometre. Mr Burke also came up with the idea of a challenge for Cody. "Honestly, I'm bad at rowing. It's probably the third time I've ever rowed in my entire life," Cody said. "I'm a good runner ... he's like 'I'm not going to give you something you're good at.' "He decided to give me something that I'd actually really have to work hard for," he said. Cody said he chose Guide Dogs Australia because of the great service they provide to the community. "It went really well," he said. "My body would say otherwise."

Youth crime in focus Tidal is linked closely with the Southern Metro Crime Team's Operation Pendsend, a youth response team which is made up of detectives who monitor at-risk youths and develop disruption and enforcement strategies. "This is a strategic approach to sharing information to ensure we have an intelligenceled approach to our enforcement of youth offending in this area," Supt Hollowood said. Turning their attention to social media as a means to put an end to the youth violence, Commander Libby Murphy said officers were able to respond to perceived threats in the community through received intelligence. "We have our monitoring and assessment centre manage intelligence and they'll feed that back to us and we have strategic intelligence to suggest different groups are at play," Cmdr. Murphy said. "We monitor all sorts of social media, so we'll look at Instagram, Facebook, we'll look
By Mitchell Clarke Almost 400 youth have been arrested in an operation targeting suburbs within the Cardinia, Casey and Greater Dandenong policing areas. Since April this year, the operation has seen 396 youth arrested with police executing 126 warrants of apprehension and handing out 278 traffic and 50 crime infringements. Superintendent Paul Hollowood from the South Metro Region said the operation was focused on addressing youth related offending across three major crime themes. The themes included robberies, public order offending and vehicle crime linked to serious offending. "We know crimes such as robberies and public order offending has been a concern to the community and Operation Tidal has been developed to specifically target these issues," Supt Hollowood said.
at Snapchat and all those sorts of things, we use intelligence based policing to make sure we're targeting where and when we need the resources in that area." And while police wouldn't name a particular problem suburb, they said the rise in crime could be attributed to the growth of the southeastern suburbs. "Our area is an area that's fast expanding so it has a large proportion of youth, so I think that's probably part of our focus," Cmdr. Murphy said. "Youth are often disengaged and we know that we've got to connect with youth and not just have an enforcement approach. "But our enforcement approach is really important, particularly for that high harm offending where we actually have things like robberies and car jacking's and theft from motor cars or theft of motor cars which is then linked to other offending."
Despite this, Victoria Police said youth crime wasn't directly related to gang activity. "We do know there are some gangs we target but I wouldn't say the majority of the offending is gang related, most of it is opportunistic," Cmdr. Murphy said. "I don't think there's a need to be alarmist or extreme about it, I think we need to put it in perspective. "If you look at the data, while we've got over half a million youth aged 10-17 in Victoria, only two percent are offenders." Seeing the operation as a real opportunity to work with government and other agencies, police hope therapeutic options through cautioning and diversion will be applied to future cases. "With youth, our main aim is to actually make sure there are therapeutic options and good justice outcomes," she added. Operation Tidal remains ongoing.

Here's how our readers reacted online: Denis Levin: 10 years...let that sink in ...his deplorable attitude whilst driving under the influence, which resulted in the loss of life of a police officer. 10 years is not enough. A family will have a life time grieving for the loss of a loved one. Clifford Landers: Sentence is way too short. Victim's family is sentenced for life. Benji Bop Pemberton: What does being a police officer got to do with it? Chris Topher Chapman: Not long enough, holy sh*t.

Mum’s $50k shock win By Brendan Rees A Berwick mum had told of her "whirlwind" experience of scooping up $50,000 on Millionaire Hot Seat while helping raise money for sick kids. Lisa Valavanis couldn't believe her luck on the show which aired on Thursday 29 August saying "It's still something I haven't comes to terms with." She was selected to be part of the special episode for the My Room Telethon which raised money for children's cancer charity My Room - with her win also matched by Channel Nine and donated to the charity. Ms Valavanis was thrilled to be able to help in raising the much needed funds, explaining her son, Sam, had lost his eyes to cancer after being diagnosed as a baby. "It did mean a lot to me ... to be a part of hot seat for the My Room charity was just amazing," she said. Ms Valavanis said Sam, now 17, was cancer free, and despite having prosthetic eyes, had
embraced life with his love of playing piano, singing, and playing goalball - a team sport designed specifically for athletes with vision impairment. Ms Valavanis says she and her husband fought hard after a doctor initially told them "there's nothing wrong with him." "We just knew something wasn't right and we couldn't put our finger on it," she said. Today, Ms Valavanis, who works at the same day unit admissions desk at Monash Children's Hospital, says they are grateful their "intuition paid off and we just keep questioning". "Heath wise he is really healthy - got an amazing immune system. He'll get a cold like the rest of us, he'll fight it off in a day or two," she added. "People will sort of say to him look you shouldn't do that and he'll say 'why not I can do it'," she said. "My husband and I have tried to do as much as we could to help other families going through similar circumstances."
Lisa Valavanis collects her winning cheque with Eddie McGuire.
Murray’s breathless win a bloomin’ beauty By Brendan Rees After growing orchids for 30 years Murray Harding has snapped up his biggest award yet. The Berwick Orchid Club president won first place for his beautiful Miltonia Breathless 'Brilliant' at the Melbourne Orchid Spectacular recently. "I think the thing about that makes it interesting is that it is just such a large orchid now," Murray says. "You rarely see them in collections growing as large as this." The Devon Meadows resident says he was a guest speaker at a conference in Tasmania
when he asked if the orchid was available. "It was something I had always wanted," he said. "They gave me quite a reasonable plant which I've now grown about four or five times the size of the original. "It's an Australian native orchid called Striolatum." Murray showcased the orchid at the Spectacular hosted at KCC Park in Skye on 23-25 August. Although being awarded the 'Best Grown Australian Native Orchid' in a competition last year, he says his most recent win was most cherishing.
"After 30 years of growing orchids this had evaded me and I have to feel pretty good," he said. Another memorable moment was being invited to Singapore to address the Orchid Society of South East Asia at the Singapore Botanical Gardens, he says. "That's when you start pinching yourself." When asked what he his most passionate about with orchids, Murray says, "I'm not sure whether it's seeing the flowers or seeing something that's flowering for the first time." "Every year you get some that are flowering for the first time and the wait for that - it makes every year worth waiting for."

Paige overcomes tough times By Brendan Rees
Entertainer Tim Campbell will host the event at Bunjil Place.
School stars hit the stage Bunjil Place will play host to an amazing musical-theatre treat next month when over 200 local students compete in the annual Schools on Stage extravaganza. Set to join them on stage on Thursday 5 September will be one of Australia's most versatile and loved entertainers: Tim Campbell. Mr Campbell is a star of both stage and screen, with a starring role on 'Home and Away' and lead roles onstage in 'Wicked', 'Rent' and 'Shout!' under his belt. The event will entertain audiences with a non-stop musical rollercoaster ride. Performances will be accompanied by the magic that only a live orchestra can bring. The students will strive to do their best as they perform well-loved musical theatre show tunes on the big stage. Performers will compete to discover which local school will be crowned the 2019 Schools
on Stage champion. Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon commented that Schools on Stage is a fantastic celebration to highlight the performing arts talents of Casey's young people. "It is an exciting competition but, more importantly, the event encourages our young people to take part in extra-curricular activities, strengthening their connection to the school community, and helping them to make new friends and build important skills," she said. When he's not 'Dancing with the Stars' or entertaining on Channel 9's 'Carols by Candlelight', Tim is performing classic 70s and 80s dance floor hits with his band. He will also be the star act for the Casey Cardinia Foundation's Annual Charity Dinner being held on Friday 11 October. For more information on Schools on Stage and bookings, please visit the Bunjil Place website.
Paige Baker, 16, can't recall how many high school she's attended. She thinks it may be seven. Born in jail, she says the earliest photo she has of herself was when she was about four years old. But again she can't be sure. "My birth wasn't registered until 2017 and it turns out I was actually born in 2002 and not 2003," she says. The Berwick College student addressed a packed room during a Lookout Conference held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Monday 2 September. Hosted by the Department of Education and Training as part of National Child Protection Week, the day aimed to support the work of early childhood, primary and secondary educators working with children and young people in out-of-home care. During her presentation Paige spoke about loving school but finding it so difficult to attend regularly and achieve when her life was in such chaos. She was bullied a lot in primary school because of the "ratty clothes" she wore and was embarrassed to bring friends home as it was "disgusting." "I was living with dad and he didn't make us go to school," she says. "Sometimes we didn't go because we had no lunch or no uniform." "Other kids referred to my dad as the local junkie and that really hurt me because, despite the abuse and neglect we were experiencing, he was my dad and I idolised him," Paige explained. "I wanted to feel like someone cared and wanted me at school. After a while, I felt like I was forgotten about." Paige said she was taken out of her dad's care in 2016 before staying with her grandmother but before long was back in foster care and residential housing. Today she is enjoying living alone with her puppy: "My future is looking brighter than it ever has but I still have lots of personal battles to overcome."

BUSINESS PROFILE

John Hastie mourned By Brendan Rees The Casey community is mourning the loss of former mayor John Hastie, who died from cancer on Monday 2 September, aged 80. Mr Hastie served the City of Berwick from 1983 to 1994, and became the 15th mayor from 1987-88. City of Casey councillor Wayne Smith described Mr Hastie as a passionate and dedicated councillor. "He will be sadly missed by a lot of people," he said. "There's a lot of legacies around time that can be attributed to John's diligence as a councillor in terms of finance." Mr Hastie served as a councillor with City of Casey from 1997 to 2003, and was elected as mayor at the old shire offices in Cranbourne from 1998-99. At the time, Mr Hastie said his key projects were the Cranbourne and Narre Warren streetscape works; a decision on the $14 million Narre Warren Leisure Centre; a preschool in Peel Street, Berwick; and a refurbishment of the Doveton Public Hall, and more.Cr Smith, who served as deputy mayor to Mr Hastie from 1997-98, paid tribute to Mr Hastie during council's meeting on 3 September, saying he was known as the "money man" and "always looked after the ratepayer dollar." "You could always rely on John at budget time and other times," Cr Smith said. "One year we were on our budget weekend and all of a sudden John Hastie came up and said 'I found a million dollars.' We all sort of joked and said 'yeah right.' "The officers went away and had discov-

We had it spent within seconds of it being discovered," Cr Smith said. Cr Smith said Mr Hastie of Endeavour Hills was well regarded for his interest in good financial management of council funds and represented his ward "very successfully." He added: "John was good at reading the situation and being able to make a last minute change of mind or decision." "To his wife Wilma, our condolences to Wilma and his family on his passing," Cr Smith said. A funeral service will be held at Tobin Brothers Berwick on Thursday 12 September at 10am. Members of the public are invited to attend and celebrate Mr Hastie's life.

School of hard knocks By Danielle Kutchel Skamma Gym in Narre Warren will play host to a world Brazilian jiu jitsu champion next month, when Peter de Been comes to town. De Been, a fifth degree black belt under Carlos Gracie Jr, has competed in a number of competitions over his career and taken home his fair share of medals. Among others he was the 1997 Pan Am Master Brown Belt Gold Medallist, and the 2004 International Super Fight Sao Paulo Winner. He was the first non Brazilian to gain a black belt out of Brazil, and also founded Australia's first jiu jitsu academy. He'll be visiting Skamma on Monday 2 September for a seminar on the sport, with both gym members and non-members welcome
to attend. Ivan Rakitic, a trainer at Skamma, said the team was looking forward to hosting Mr de Been. He added that the visit complements Skamma's program, where martial arts is a way of life. "It's not just a sport where we all do a thing; it's also the self-defence side. It's not just geared towards the athlete, it's also for the young kid who may be getting bullied or having issues at school," he said.

FOCUS ON … TAX TIME
ATO on the hunt for money
Accountants love the job By BJT Principal Michelle Beadle The team at BJT Business Advisors really enjoy working with business and family groups, which means they get a great deal of exposure to many different businesses. This experience means that, as accountants, they understand the common issues that all businesses have. Business owners are making decisions on a daily basis about the strategic direction that the business will be taking – expanding the business, taking on new employees, implementing new technologies, entering new markets. Often, the business’s accountant has a key role in these strategic decisions, by helping the business owner understand the financial impact on the business. Remember that your accountant has usually seen it all – by working with so many different businesses, an accountant very rarely comes across a situation that they have not
worked through before. This experience in solving (sometimes tricky) situations can be invaluable, and can save you time and money in the long run. If you are thinking about buying a building to run your business out of – talk to your accountant. If you need to buy a new delivery vehicle – talk to your accountant. If you are thinking about creating a new job in your business – talk to your accountant. If you are having cash flow difficulties, and you want to see how long it will last – talk to your accountant. If you are worried about talking to your accountant, talk to the team at BJT Business Advisors. They love working with businesses, and can help you choose the right path. BJT Business Advisors is based in Berwick, and works with businesses and family groups all over Australia. Their experience, empathy, and expertise means that your business is well looked after both now and in the future. For more information, visit www.bjtbusinessadvisors.com.au
The data available to the ATO shows that many Australians have financial dealings in countries like China, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Singapore and the United States, to name just a few. “Whether it is rental income from your old family home, an untouched bank account earning interest, or salary from working offshore, it must be reported. Even if you have paid tax on the overseas income it must be reported to the ATO, however you may be able to claim a foreign income tax offset to account for any foreign tax paid.” The CRS data, plus existing datasets already obtained via exchange of information agreements with foreign tax authorities and from the Australian Transaction Reporting and Analysis Centre, are helping the ATO to engage with taxpayers who are struggling to report their foreign income correctly. The ATO is committed to providing advice and guidance to help taxpayers fully comply with their Australian tax obligations. This includes contacting taxpayers who have omitted foreign income, publishing new information to make foreign income and residency easier to understand, and advising Australians with more complex foreign dealings to consult a registered tax agent and make sure they are compliant with Australia’s tax laws. Taxpayers that are concerned they have not included income from assets held offshore in their tax return are encouraged to make a voluntary disclosure as soon as possible. The CRS is part of a range of measures that address multinational tax avoidance which includes the Tax Avoidance Taskforce. The information collected by the CRS will be invaluable in informing the taskforce’s work in identifying, investigating and disrupting the most aggressive tax avoidance arrangements.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is urging taxpayers who receive any foreign income from investments, family members or working overseas to make sure they report it this tax time. New international data sharing agreements allow the ATO to track money across borders and identify individuals not meeting their obligations. “This year, the ATO has received records relating to more than 1.6 million off-shore accounts holding over $100 billion and is now using data-matching and sophisticated analytics to identify foreign income that has not been reported,” Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat said. Under the new Common Reporting Standard (CRS), The ATO has shared data on financial account information of foreign tax residents with over 65 foreign tax jurisdictions across the globe. This includes information on account holders, balances, interest and dividend payments, proceeds from the sale of assets, and other income. “Australians that deliberately move cash overseas in an attempt to hide it should be concerned. Hiding your assets and income offshore is pointless. ‘Tax havens’ are becoming a less effective model as international agreements improve transparency. You can no longer hide money behind borders.” In addition to a small number of individuals deliberately engaging in tax avoidance, the ATO is concerned about a large number that are unsure of how to meet their obligations. “If you’re an Australian resident for tax purposes, you are taxed on your worldwide income, so you must declare all of your foreign income no matter how small the amount may be. This may include income from offshore investments, employment, pensions, business and consulting, or capital gains on overseas assets,” Ms Foat said.

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region
Manage what you measure TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS IAN ASH
Dani Lawrence, executive assistant Brooke De Silva and Lana Bonnet at the Waterman Business Centre in Narre Warren. L&D Picturesque Painting was contracted to paint all three Waterman sites. 196952
Painting a path for the female tradies By Narelle Coulter Lana Bonnet and Dani Lawrence are young businesswomen who have fought not only to get their painting and decorating firm off the ground, but also the prejudice that lingers about women working in trades. The best friends are the owners and co-directors of L&D Picturesque Painting based in Narre Warren. They describe themselves as commercial and domestic painters who are also “empowering women to shake the mould of the typical tradie." Dani and Lana learnt the painting and decorating business working alongside relatives who were in the trade as they were growing up. They decided to start their own businesses when they were just 23 and 22, determined to do things differently. Their initial foray into small business faltered because the money was too inconsistent. To make ends meet, Lana got a job at a call centre and Dani resumed working with her dad. “One lunch time I cracked it. I rang Dani and said 'I am going to throw this in. Do you want to give it (our own business) a crack tomorrow? Let’s just do it and learn as we go," Lana said. That was 2014. In the five years since the women have built a thriving business that services the South East and greater metropolitan Melbourne. Clients include Barbecues Galore, Trade Link, Melbourne Body Corporate, O’Brien Real Estate Pakenham and the Waterman group. It hasn’t been an easy road for the friends. As young females in a traditionally male business they admit they struggled to gain clients’ trust. “I had a door slammed in my face once because the person thought a guy was coming out to give the quote,“ remembered Lana.
The women have also been asked when will their husbands will be available? Lana said those attitudes rarely surface now because she and Dani are more confident about their roles and the work delivered by L & D Picturesque Painting. “We had to just let it go and move onto the next customer." With strong ethics underpinning the business - their motto is Professional. Punctual. Precise - the women soon found that clients appreciated their honesty and commitment to get jobs done quickly and to a high standard. “As we grew I think we put it out there that yes we are women, we are proud to do what we do and we do it well. “We have integrity and we live and breathe our values.“ The business partners have learnt many lessons along the way, not least how to block out the negative voices who told them they wouldn’t succeed. It is message of resilience and self-belief that they pass on to other young women through Savage Angles. Lana is an ambassador for the organisation which was founded by Casey businessman John McMahon to helped troubled teenage girls. “I talk to young women about the three things that have helped me succeed - a strong circle of influence, having courage and resilience,“ Lana said. They are also keen to encourage other young women to follow in their professional footsteps. “We want to change the statistics, we want to make women in construction equal in number to men,“ Lana said. “I would love to see in 10 years that when you walk onto a massive building site you see just as many females working there as you do males."

and business development, while Dani project manages. If a job needs to be finished, both women will roll up their sleeves and get on the tools. The stress of running their own business has, at times, been overwhelming. At one point the women had 18 staff and had to find $18,000 a week in wages. They now have a much more manageable three employees and use a team of contractors. Early on the fledgling business was nearly crushed when a client defaulted on a $20,000 invoice. “We sat there with $50 between us and thought ’What are we going to do now?’ It was sheer determination and willingness to succeed that pulled us through,“ Lana said. “We had sub-contractors knocking on the door wanting their money, that was the toughest." When times get tough they rely on their 15 year friendship, forged over a shared love of playing soccer. The women rent a house together and Lana says their friendship is based on being “100 per cent honest with each other". “We are both willing to give it a red hot crack and risk everything. I can make a decision and I know she’ll back it and the same if Dani makes a decision." They also rely on business coach and mentor Shelley Flett who has helped them with staff issues, internal processes, time management and keeps them positive about the future. “I just love running a business,“ Lana said. “I love setting goals, achieving them and looking back on how far we’ve come. It is tough, probably the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do, but my dream has always been to succeed. I love being on this journey with Dani, building something for the future for both of us.“
In England it is not unusual to see a board with what looks like a thermometer painted on it placed in the grounds of a church and facing out to the public. The top of the ’thermometer’ will show how much is required to restore some part of the church (usually the steeple) and provides a visual representation of how much has been contributed to date. As progress is made towards the target so contributions typically go up as people like to feel they have contributed to the final result. Turns out, it is much the same in business and the simple act of publishing a target and regularly showing progress against this does much to galvanise action around achieving the ultimate goal. However many businesses don’t tend to do this and hence miss a golden opportunity to not only provide real evidence of achievement, but also to build teamwork and alignment amongst the staff. In last month’s column, I discussed the importance of setting well-defined goals and how properly defining these would give rise to a number of business benefits. Whilst setting SMART goals is important, there is little value in doing this if you are not going to track progress against them. This is generally not hard to do and there is simply no substitute for providing a graphical representation of progress against whatever target you want to hit - no one needs to read loads of text since charts provide immediate visibility of what’s happening. I find this approach especially valuable for tracking financial performance. In reviewing financials with a client over the past six months, we noticed that the actual sales were trending away from budget in February/ March. Armed with this ‘early warning signal’, the CEO took decisive action to get things back on track and, sure enough, ended up exceeding his annual sales target. This approach has proven especially valuable with a lot of manufacturing clients since they have adopted the same mechanisms for tracking quality, delivery in full and on-time (DIFOT), absenteeism and defect levels and it will come as no surprise that “what gets measured, gets managed” (a phrase typically attributed to management consultant Peter Drucker). As indicated above, not only do such charts provide a useful early warning system on trends, they also do much to align team members around achieving the objective and hence can also be a useful source of team-building as well. Moreover, whenever such charts are published, it sends a clear signal to everyone in the business that the stuff being measured and reported on is important and since people like to be part of a winning team, with the appropriate level of context and communication, there is a shared sense of attainment when the publicised target is achieved. However, don’t be afraid to publish results even if things are going in the wrong direction, doing so will demonstrate that the results are being monitored, are important and will provide an excellent background to any subsequent management decisions to address the decline. Have a think about what targets are important to achieve in your business and try plotting progress against the these. I would love to hear back on the results you obtain.

Levi Maxwell competing during his latest win at the Airlie Beach Triathlon.
Picture: COURTESY OF KORUPT VISION
Levi conquers Airlie Beach By Nick Creely Pro Triathlete Levi Maxwell continues to go from strength-to-strength, chalking up wins and eyeing off his next challenge. And despite the setbacks of his year so far including being struck by a car while riding recently, injuries and illnesses - the Cranbourne athlete continues to find a way with his immense determination to succeed. It’s a trait that will ensure that he can overcome any adversity. His latest win came last weekend at the Airlie Beach Triathlon in Queensland, after holding off fellow pro athletes Daniel Coleman, Luke McKenzie and Sam Betten to stride over the line with a time of 1:56:21.58. Maxwell said he was proud of coming away with a tough win in what is a grueling course after edging clear in the final moments.
“I had a really good swim for me, a couple of the guys are quality swimmers and some of the best triathlon swimmers in the country,” he said. “I kind of kept within 30 seconds of them, which is really good for me, and that’s always been my weakness, so to come away with a good swim was great. “The bike probably wasn’t where I’d like it to be, I’ve been trying to focus on my swim lately, so its one of those things, you take a step back in one leg and a step forward in another, but I ended up having the second fastest, so I wasn’t terrible. “But, onto the run I was in second place, and just felt really good, and it was my first race back in a little while, and run one of my best 10 kilometers and caught Luke McKenzie for the win.
“I then stormed away with the win, which is a pleasant surprise.” With the latest win a massive confidencebooster for the champion Triathlete, Maxwell will be heading over to China for the first time to compete in what is sure to be a testing field. “I’ve got another race, I think on 8 September, that’s an Ironman 70.3, so I’m really looking forward to that,” he said. “It’s a pretty big field, I think there’s 20 guys on the start list, and it’s pretty quality - an exworld champion is racing, and it’s just a really interesting list, an odd mix and you never really know who is the favourite, because you just don’t know. It’ll be an interesting race.” Maxwell said in preparation for the race, he’ll look to acclimatize to what is expected to be much different conditions he faces in Australia.
“Each race is a bit different, and for this race, I’m doing a little bit of indoor training, it’s not that hot there, I think the low is 15 and the top is 25, but it will be a bit sticky,” he said. “So to try and get used to that, indoor training helps and I’ll just have the heater on and set it to 25, and it’s the same with running, I’ll just train on a treadmill and try and get used to running to the heat. “I think the main thing is, you have to prepare to consuming fluids and fuel in that temperature. It’s easy to digest and stomach that sort of stuff when its cooler, but when its hotter, that’s when its more of a challenge.” Maxwell wished to thank his sponsors, GIANT bikes, 2XU, local concreter Anker Concrete, and Highview Accounting for their support.

Season over for Stingrays By Tyler Lewis
To the Springs go the spoils A correction should be noted this week following the recap of the South East Juniors (SEJ) grand finals in last week's Star News. It was in fact the Berwick Springs Titans (Green), not berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au
Berwick, who won the Under 11 White SEJ premiership. Congratulations on a magnificent season to all involved at Berwick Springs.
For the Dandenong Stingrays, the season itself may be over but its purpose and important repercussions have only just begun. After wrestling for the lead all day on Sunday in a NAB League elimination final, Calder ran away with the victory in a blistering final term to win 11.9 (75) to 5.9 (39). The Cannons drew first blood through Daniel Mott before Clayton Gay slid for a leading mark and ran around on to his left foot to snap the Rays back the lead. Dandenong was penetrating the walls of Calder’s defensive 50 at will through the likes of Luca Goonan and Jack Toner finding the Sherrin countless times - but the Rays were unable to pounce on the opportunity and put the Cannons away. As the sun began to beam down in the second term, the Stingrays' attacking players started to drive their legs and it had an immediate impact on the scoreboard.
Bigoa Nyuon nonchalantly floated back with the flight to take a mark in the middle before he was reward with a 50m penalty to bring him within range. The Rays advanced to a 20-point lead before Calder notched two late goals in the half, including one on the siren, to peg the lead back to eight. The third turned into even more of an arm wrestle while Calder smooth movers Daniel Mott and Sam Ramsay begun to assert their dominance. Leading by less then a kick at the final break, the final quarter began with ominous signs as Ned Cahill burst from the centre looking to repeat his heroics from last week. Unfortunately for Dandenong, it was all Calder from then on. The Cannons finished the game with plenty of run in their legs, kicking the last seven majors of the match to secure a spot in next week's semi final.

17. WITH which Sydney club did Michael Clarke make his comeback to cricket after coming out of retirement?
MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN DIVISION 2 - WEEK 3 FINALS Marc Holt is one of the greatest goal-kickers local football has ever seen and his performances certainly haven't slowed down since moving to Karingal after a storied career at Cranbourne. In Round 3 2015, the Karingal reserves and senior sides lost to Frankston YCW by a combined 60.41 (401) to 2.4 (16), and in 2019 the Bulls have all three men's football sides in the grand final on Saturday and won the overall club championship at the MPNFL awards night on Monday. The reserves and under-19s have been competitive and successful sides in the past two seasons, but the rise of the senior side has a lot to do with the prowess of the youngsters and the right boot of goal-kicking machine Marc Holt. Although Holt has been slamming them through the big sticks at will, Bulls president Graham French believes his work around the club is just as valuable and his signature is one the club has needed for a long time. "It began at the end of 2018. We had quite a few conversations with Marc and, I have to say, I hadn't met Marc before that and when I met him he wasn't what I expected," he said. "It was something we identified straight away, was a key forward, they are a bit like ruckmen - they don't grow on trees and are hard to find, (but) they also have to be the right fit for the club. "He is a lovely fella and very much a club person. He had been at Cranbourne for 20plus years ever since he was nine, so he was hesitant because he is such a loyal person. "It was a long process but once he was committed, he was red and white. He is a lovely fella, he has been great for the group - he puts his heart and soul into it. "There is no point trying to drag someone in and kick a bag of goals who just takes their envelope and off they go never to be seen again. "He had a few lean patches there but we backed in him and he appreciated the support - he cops it pretty hard from the opposition supporters over the fence but we couldn't be happier."
Holt has booted 20 majors in the past two weeks, including a bag of 11 and nine in door-die matches for the Bulls, and French is extremely grateful for his presence in the red and white, hoping Holt has another bag in him at Frankston Park on Saturday. "It is about sustainability and we could never find the right person - once we did things (it) seemed to fall into the right place. "He is a great fit for our group, what we needed - we are lucky and 20.1 he has kicked in a couple of finals is unbelievable. "He is a big game player and hopefully he can help us get the job done on the weekend." SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - FINALS WEEK 2 The Doveton Eagles have knocked Keysborough out of the finals race in straight sets in mesmerising fashion, 10.12 (72) to 9.10 (64). The Eagles kicked five unanswered majors in the second term to storm away to a handy buffer, before being tested in the final term by the fast-finishing Burras. The Beers, Matt and Nick paired for a finals winning performance while Nick Battle and Adam Read both converted twice. For the Burras, although only booting the one major, Chris Bryan was best afield. Matt Carnelley booted three majors for the Burras as he put another triple to his name for the 10th time this season. The Eagles will now play Murrumbeena in the preliminary final on the weekend with a full head of steam from back-to-back finals wins. DIVISION 3 - FINALS WEEK 3 Endeavour Hills will be ruing letting Clayton off to the start it did in the preliminary final as the Hills were unable to claw back the quartertime margin. Clayton booted six goals to the Hills' four behinds in the first stanza and the margin remained similar for the remainder of the match as the Clays booked a spot in the big dance, 14.9 (93) to 7.11 (53). Sam Delosa slotted three for the Hills while Chris Morrison was the best for Clayton. Clayton will now face Hampton Park in the grand final in attempt to cause a boilover. The Redbacks and Clays met only two weeks ago where the Redbacks won by seven goals. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

Doves take their chances By Nick Creely

week at training and pre-game to embrace it, and enjoy it, and this is what we play for, finals football," he said. "We had 20 per cent chance to win the premiership coming into the weekend and with Mount Evelyn dropping out, the way I see it, it's increased to 33 per cent. "Whoever wins out of Pakenham and Doveton makes the grand final, and it goes to 50 per cent, so in a sense it's a numbers game. "But for us we want to enjoy our footy, and not be overawed by the occasion and just enjoy it." In the elimination final, Officer advanced through to Sunday's semi-final after a dominant showing against Mount Evelyn in Gembrook, 15.14 (104) to 6.7 (43). The Kangaroos struck almost immediately against the breeze, with skipper Matthew Clarke wheeling around and snapping one through, before Jesse Longmuir - on his way to
the finest game of his senior career - launched a long bomb from 50, kick starting a scintillating run of play. The Kangaroos finished the opening stanza with five straight goals to flex their muscles, controlling the ball on the inside with Ben Kerrigan and Blair Allan and showing flashes of brilliance through ball magnet Tyler Clark, Jake Ingaliso and club legend Ben Tivendale, who seemed to really relish the finals stage. Longmuir, fresh off a splendid opening quarter, once again got the Kangaroos up and about early in the second, taking a nice grab and slotting another textbook set-shot, sending the Kangaroos into raptures as the lead ventured past five goals. While the Rovers did manage to peg a few back late through Hartfield who continued to look ominous, it felt like too little too late, with the Kangaroos still holding onto a five-goal advantage as the rain began to well and truly set
12418953-SN22-19
"I think everyone needs to remember that Doveton did it pretty tough last year with no wins and 16 losses, so when you have a year like this year, playing a qualifying final, it was really important for everyone to enjoy the occasion." The Doves, who are one of the feel-good stories of the AFL Outer East Division 1 season after going through the final year of the SEFNL winless in a dark chapter in the club's history, just continue to gather momentum and the group will be one to keep an eye on as the finals series continues to play out over the next three weeks. Down at Beaconsfield's picturesque Holm Park on Sunday, the gritty Doves advanced to just one win away from a grand final after downing Monbulk in sunny, and then torrential conditions in the Division 1 qualifying final, 8.12 (60) to 7.3 (45). It was all the Hawks in the first half, surging out to a 21-point lead at quarter-time, but the Doves stuck in, pegging that deficit back to just a straight kick at the major break as the weather started to well and truly settle in. The Doves managed to get the jump as the rain tumbled in the third term, with youngster Max Sheppard - in particular - handling the conditions with ease and midfielder Mitch Cotter completely dominating the stoppages on his way to a mountain of the football. With the game well and truly in the balance with a quarter to play, and the Doves with a two-goal lead early in the last, a Hawk tackle slipped high and Daniel Charles' side made the most of the chance to take its lead out to three goals, before the Hawks began to try and defy the conditions and move the ball quickly. Despite the Hawks breathing some form of life into the contest with a reply 10 minutes later, Sheppard sealed the deal with his second goal, snapping one after a free kick advantage to send the Doves into a semi-final showdown with Pakenham, a side they are yet to defeat this season. Director of football Martin Stillman praised the group for its ability to adapt to the conditions late in the game and find that muchneeded buffer after tightening up defensively after leaking five first quarter goals. "Any time you can go into the third quarter huddle in front, it's pretty simple - you win the last quarter, you win the game," he said. "We were confident. We kept Monbulk to just two points in the second and third quarters, and worked really hard to get that 13-point lead, and when the rain came in, it was difficult to score, so it was certainly advantageous for us. "A 13-point lead is almost double in that rain, so it was great for us." Young star Mitch Cotter - who was the SEFNL MVP for Doveton last year in a winless side - has returned to the club with a bang after a stint at Noble Park, relishing the wet conditions to be a dominant force against the Hawks, while Sean Kelleher, Harley Primrose and Daniel Zajac were all excellent. "Mitch has been terrific coming back to the club, he's such a competitor, a real bull, and so combative," Stillman said. "He's a terrific player, and when the ball's on the ground, in the clinches, that's what he loves. But he's just as valuable in the dry, and he played a terrific game." With the Doves only potentially one game away from a breakthrough grand final appearance, an incredible feat for a club that struggled at times for numbers last year, Stillman said the group is embracing what's yet to come, believing the sky is the limit if they continue to believe. "Daniel Charles said to the players this
in, settling in for the second half. A brief chance of a fight back became a slim reality when the Rovers slammed on two early goals in the third term, before the Kangaroos once again took the game by the scruff of the neck and forged on ahead, kicking four unanswered goals to put to bed any chance of a remarkable resurgence. Veteran big man Sean Roach was absolutely superb, with the 36-year-old putting in a masterclass ruck performance for the Kangaroos, in one of his most influential games of the season, while Longmuir finished with five classy goals to be one of the most dominant players on the ground. In the final round of the Outer East Premier Division home-and-away season, meanwhile, Berwick brought down Narre Warren and clinched the minor premiership in yet another classic game of football in front of an extremely vocal capacity crowd at Kalora Park on Saturday, with a brilliant final quarter burst getting the job done, 16.11 (107) to 10.15 (75). Rhys Nisbet's side couldn't have started any better, making the most of some slick ball movement, as well as a couple of free kicks, to get the jump and slam on the first four goals, with the drive of Luke Jellyman-Turner, the continual presence of Tim Gunn and Harry Money up forward, as well as a complete midfield domination seeing the visitors to a 25-point advantage just midway through the first term. But a super fight back - sparked from the energy of Mitch Cox as a deep forward - and a lift from vital midfield cogs Nathan Foote, Trent Cody and skipper Dylan Quirk saw the Magpies slam on two late goals, and could have nearly snatched the lead had it not been some inaccuracy in front of goal to trail by 10 at the first break. It didn't take long for another of the Magpies' stars to make their mark in the second, with midfielder Brad Scalzo showcasing his abundance of class by strolling through traffic and slotting a ripper on the run, but it was goal-for-goal as both sides played free flowing, exciting football. As they did all day, the Wickers found the response through star forward Tim Gunn, before a big time goal from Nathan Foote dragged the margin back to under a kick, before stealing back the lead on the stroke of three quarter time in a scintillating patch of football as good as any side has mustered this season. But this Berwick side always finds the answer and goes to an extra gear in the crucial moments, with Gunn and Money slotting goals within the first few minutes of the final term, before the visitors slammed on four unanswered goals to completely run away with the game and set itself up for what is sure to be a fascinating finals campaign. Elsewhere, Cranbourne officially booked itself a finals ticket after a commanding performance against Upwey Tecoma on the road, 12.19 (91) to 6.11 (47). The Eagles - who will now face Woori Yallock in a cutthroat elimination final on Saturday - shook off a slow start to take control of the contest after half time, kicking six goals to one across the final two quarters to bank the vital four points. Kyle Nunn and Corey Ellison each slotted three to continue their strong form, while Stuart Morrish, Anthony Fischer and Dylan Cavalot were all named in the best. In the remaining matches, Olinda Ferny Creek finished its season off on a bright note and will take plenty of confidence heading into the pre-season after defeating Wandin at home, 16.8 (104) to 9.10 (64), and Beaconsfield geared up for finals with a commanding 52-point win against Woori Yallock, 12.23 (95) to 6.7 (43).
