PEOPLE’S CHOICE Sponsor

CAREER MOVE WAS A PERFECT FIT PAUL Sloothaak has switched careers from shopfitter to pastry chef.

He opened Village Way Cafe in Pakenham in July last year with wife Christina, who has worked in the hospitality industry for the past 15 years.

They were thrilled to receive the inaugural People’s Choice Award at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

“We really love you and appreciate what you’ve done for us, Jose,” Christina told head chef Jose Li. She also thanked her loyal customers.

“This could not have been possible without your nomination and votes,” she said.

The City of Casey and Cardinia Shire Council congratulate the Casey Cardinia Business Awards winners for 2015

Christina’s family back in Indonesia all own restaurants or cafes.

“I’ve always been interested in cooking,” Paul said.

“We were looking for a cafe for a while – probably three or four years, actually. Nothing really came up until we saw this one here. We could see the potential here.

“When we first got here, I changed all the lights, because they had the big fluorescent lights. I changed the front counter. We put a kitchen in the back.”

Paul concedes it took him a while to adjust to the fast-paced world of food service, but he now takes every aspect

in his stride.

“I do everything – do the dishes, serve the food, help the chef...” he said.

“And all the desserts there, I make them. We don’t buy any cakes in.”

About 95 per cent of their sauces are home-made, too, by Jose.

“We poached him when we bought the cafe,” Paul said.

“Our hollandaise sauce is made every single day. Once people come here, have breakfast on a weekend... all our customers that come in on a weekend are all regular customers.”

Jose designed the menu and changes things up every few months.

“I try to keep it seasonal,” he said.

Consistency is also a focus for the chef, who has worked in the industry for 12 years.

The Sloothaaks have added a second chef and a barista to their team and call in casuals when they need a hand.

“From when we started to now, we’ve probably jumped 60 per cent in income,” he said.

“This area is building up.”

But he also credits Christina for the growth. She learns customers’ regular orders, welcomes them with a smile and makes them feel at home.

“Chris is a very good people person.”

Mr Jones said FAUN was the industry’s largest European manufacturer and was a global leader at the forefront of innovation.

“The FAUN range is designed for fleet managers and councils Australia-wide,” he said.

“Boasting the world’s first fully hybrid garbage truck demonstrates FAUN’s commitment to innovation and the environment.”

Mr Jones said bedding down and integrating the new business was Wastech’s focus for the next 12 to 24 months.

“We will continue to develop and supply leading-edge waste management equipment to the Australian market and maintain the focus on providing outstanding customer service,” he said.

Success is nothing new for Wastech.

MANUFACTURING

IT’S BEEN a big few months at Hallam’s Wastech – from acquiring another business to opening a service centre and bringing in new trucks from Germany.

Taking home the Casey Cardinia Business of the Year Award, as well as this year’s Manufacturing Award, can now join the list.

Neil Bone accepted the honour. He and brother Paul started the business in 1993, having largely worked on trucks involved in the waste business during their time as diesel motor mechanics.

“Thank you to Paul for putting up with me for 23 years,” Neil said.

“It’s the people that stand with you every day – that’s what makes a difference.”

They continue to play a key role in Wastech, which designs, manufactures and provides equipment and services to the Australian waste and recycling industry.

The Bone brothers set up in Ordish Road, Dandenong, before moving to Redgum Drive, Capitol Drive and, in 2007, Wedgewood Road in Hallam.

The company recently added a $3 million purpose-built service centre in Technology Circuit, Hallam, to service more than 5000 equipment items throughout Australia.

Wastech marketing co-ordinator Catherine Gardner-Gaskin said it catered for 24-7 assistance so no site was ever left unattended.

In September the company acquired Tieman Field Service and Tieman Tail Lifts, increasing its workforce from 90 to 150-plus employees with 60 mobile service vehicles nationally servicing the waste, recycling, tail lift and materials handling industries.

“A key pillar in the Wastech strategic plan was to establish a wholly-owned nationwide service network to provide a complete aftersales product service offering to its customers,” CEO Brett Jones said.

“When Tieman Industries went into voluntary administration in August, this presented Wastech with the ideal opportunity.”

He said Wastech Field Service retained the Tieman Service staff, technicians, national fleet and tail lift sales team.

“Both brands are synonymous with quality, outstanding products and customer service – the natural synergies between the businesses are clearly evident,” Mr Jones said.

In October Wastech bought new FAUN vehicles from Germany – a Variopress Rear Loader and a Viajet 6 Street Sweeper.

Ms Gardner-Gaskin said the trucks were unique.

HOME BASED BUSINESS Sponsor

Winner Kelly Sports Berwick Finalists Helping Hand Is Here Jotterbug Creative

Darren Michelle. 145217

FIT ENOUGH TO GET TO THE TOP DARREN Michelle started Kelly Sports Berwick in 2010.

“My wife Sam and I had our first child and I was working at a bank,” he said.

“I was going to work and my son was asleep and I was coming home and he was asleep.

“I felt like I was missing out on everything. I just stumbled across Kelly sports. I’ve always loved sport and kids.”

Mr Michelle has won this year’s Casey Cardinia Business Award in the Home Based Business category.

“JD was probably the speech of the night so I won’t try to beat that,” he said when accepting the honour.

He’s added Pakenham and Seaford franchises to Berwick, extending his reach across Narre Warren, Cranbourne and Dandenong.

“My wife does all the admin side of it. Then I have around 15 coaches doing various things,” he said.

Mr Michelle provides sports-based programs during school lunchtimes and

Darren and kids having fun. 145217

holidays, after school, at childcare centre and kindergartens, at birthday parties and for three to five-year-olds.

“Our main program is a multisport program that includes four or five sports over a school term,” he said.

“It introduces them to the basic skills and introduces them to different sports.

“Then when they get to the right age they can join a club.”

It’s about helping them to develop a love for sport and find the perfect one for them.

“We get used in a lot of different ways. Some come for the social side and some kids just love sports,” he said.

“It’s just different for everyone, really.

It’s pretty rewarding.

“When you get kids that have never played sport before and you see them develop the skills and confidence that goes along with it, and see them make friends, it’s pretty rewarding.”

Mr Michelle enjoys bumping into former participants and hearing about their sporting exploits.

“There’s others who don’t come back because they’ve joined a club,” he said.

“That’s the goal.”

Kelly Sports Berwick and Pakenham won the Franchise Business Category at the 2013 Cardinia Shire Business Awards.

WE KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE WE TRAIN WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE A LIFE...

HEALTH EDUCATION AND WELL BEING Sponsor

Winner Hero HQ Finalists Emerald Medical Centre Kinders Together Association

Hero HQ staff Lindsey, Tess, Bronwyn, Nikki, Chloe, Rachael, Melissa, Allanah and Aimee. 145383

HEROES PUT THE FUN INTO FIRST AID FIRST aid training company Hero HQ was born out of necessity.

The idea to start the business came to Nikki Jurcutz while she was working as a paramedic for Ambulance Victoria in 2010.

After arriving at countless scenes to find that people were unprepared to act effectively, Nikki put the idea to her sister, Rachael, and Hero HQ was born.

Armed with Nikki’s experience in paramedicine and Rachael’s background in education, the sisters became the youngest women in Australia to own a registered training organisation.

The business has enjoyed immense success and is the winner of this year’s Casey-Cardinia Business Award in the

category of Health and Education.

The sisters “rocked off” to decide who would deliver their speech, so unprepared were they for the honour.

“It was just Nik and I last year. Now we have 30 girls Australia-wide,” rock, paper, scissors winner Rachael said.

“We know that the people we train will be able to save a life.”

Their goal is simple.

“At Hero HQ we provide our clients, both in the home and workplace, with a fresh, generation Y approach to first aid training,” Nikki said.

“We want every single person who walks away from our sessions to feel empowered to act quickly and effectively

in an emergency, and ultimately be able to save lives.”

The business has two divisions. Hero HQ provides corporate first aid training services while Tiny Hearts equips expecting parents and caregivers with paediatric first aid skills.

Hero HQ is the fastest growing first aid training company in Australia and Nikki said it aims to transform the industry.

“Traditionally, first aid courses have left people feeling overwhelmed and bored meaning that people would not take in information and therefore they would not act appropriately in an emergency,” she said.

“Hero HQ’s point of difference is that

courses are always interactive, engaging and dare we say it, fun!

“Our celebrity mannequins George Clooney and Jen Hawkins are always a hit with our clients also.”

Thirty women are currently employed by the company, yet even bigger things are in store for the next year.

Hero HQ plans to expand throughout the country and even venture into international territory.

But Nikki said some things will never change.

“Most importantly, we will continue to empower people in the workplace, community and home with the life skills of first aid.”

We’re here… to help you achieve your business goals Pitcher Partners, a leading Melbourne accounting, audit and advisory irm, has been helping businesses like yours for more than 20 years.

And now, we have an office in the South East Region to provide practical business advice and professional solutions in a location that’s convenient to you.

AWARDS APPLAUD BIRTHDAYS were the night’s hot topic at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

Performer Jean Kittson hosted the gala dinner at Cranbourne Racing Club on Thursday 22 October – the eve of her 60th birthday.

City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland led the crowd in a rendition of Happy Birthday before presenting the main award.

In his opening speech, he asked guests to wish his wife Kay a happy birthday.

Kay said she was turning “somewhere between 15 and fabulous” that day.

“This is the last time you’re going to see me because my wife informed me that she’s going to kill me when I get home,” Cr Morland said when he returned to the stage.

Ms Kittson told the crowd that the owners of last year’s Casey Cardinia Business of the Year, Highview Accounting Services, had welcomed a baby that day.

“Amazing things happen after the awards,” she said.

Ms Kittson said the evening was to “celebrate, recognise, reward and applaud” the region’s businesses.

“Without the sponsors it wouldn’t be possible. Well, it would be possible – but there’d be a lot less to drink,” she said.

Cr Morland said the awards were just one initiative to promote and support the development of small business in Casey and Cardinia.

He said 111 applications were received and judged by an expert panel, and highlighted the diversity of small businesses across the region.

Cr Morland urged businesses to spread the word to others to get involved next year.

WELL GROOMED FOR SUCCESS RETAIL Sponsor

Winner Pawz Ink Finalists Berwick Mazda In Beauty

“I HOPE I can inspire other single mums to achieve their dreams.”

Pawz Ink owner Nicole Timmons was beaming as she accepted the Retail award at this year’s Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

“The judges have confirmed what I already knew - that each and every one of my staff go above and beyond every day,” she said.

Ms Timmons’s decision to switch from dental nurse to dog groomer is well and truly paying off.

She opened the pet boutique in Berwick Village two and a half years ago.

“I was raised in the City of Casey.

I wanted to open up where I live,” she said.

“I’ve always grown up with animals – horses and dogs and cats.

“My very first job was at a pet shop.

I used to help wash the dogs.”

Ms Timmons worked as a dental nurse for five years before changing careers.

“I always wanted to do a pet shop but with online sales I knew it wasn’t going to last,” she said.

Grooming couldn’t be bought with a mouse click and sent through the post.

Ms Timmons expanded into Toorak last

November and hopes to open in Warragul within the next year.

“The staff make the business what it is,” she said.

Pawz Ink offers complete grooming and clipping, accessories and pet care products, fresh meat, aromatherapy and massage, and baked and organic dog treats.

“It’s a bit of an Endota Spa for dogs,” Ms Timmons said.

The Berwick salon welcomes about 100 customers each week.

“I’ve been overwhelmed and surprised by everyone’s loyalty,” she said.

“There’s about seven staff so we keep nice and busy. We have lots of laughs together.

We spend more time together than family.”

A Pawz Ink product line including shampoos, cologne and dog treats is next on Ms Timmons’s agenda.

It’ll be available in-store and wholesale.

“Our favourite products got discontinued. We went ‘oh well, if it’s not available we’ll make our own’,” she said.

“I went over to China and spoke with manufacturers. I went to a big trade show to see what they could offer us.

“All of the shampoo ingredients are from Australia.”

PATIENCE PAYS OFF FOR GROWING COUPLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD Sponsor

Winner JD Propagation Finalists Mountain Harvest Foods Ten-Rose International Simmental

JENNY and Dan Patience have grown an empty Pearcedale horse paddock into an award-winning business.

The JD Propagation husband and wife team have cultivated their success thanks to Dan’s obsession with plants, which stems back to his teenage years.

They’ve now taken home this year’s Casey Cardinia Business Award for Agriculture and Food.

“The most important people in this whole thing are the people standing behind us,” Dan said when accepting the award.

“Without these business awards we wouldn’t strive every day to be a little bit better than what we were.

“Everybody gets a little bit of growth.”

Dan turned to his mum: “I wouldn’t be anywhere without her because I wouldn’t be born - thanks mum.”

They saw a big niche market opening for young plants and launched their plug nursery in 2010.

“We basically supply young plants to everyone from wholesale nurseries to farmers to growers – everywhere,” Dan said.

“The plants we sell would be anywhere from four weeks to 10 weeks old.”

JD Propagation has experienced at least 40 per cent growth each year and is set for the same over the next 12 months.

It has 24 staff and will this year produce about 5 million plants across 1200 varieties.

“We love what we do and, at the end of the day, Dan’s probably one of the best growers in the industry,” Jenny said.

“We always send out top-quality plants so word has sort of got around.

“We’re all about building relationships and working with our customers and I think that’s put us ahead of the pack.”

The business can keep growing.

“That whole front block – which is 12 greenhouses – was full in four years,” Jenny said.

“Our next step is to build up the back.

We have about five acres up there.

“This year we can still have 40 per cent growth but then if we want to keep with 40 per cent growth we have to move up the back.”

Dan and Jenny’s hard work earned them a commendation at the Casey Business Awards four years ago, a win in the Agriculture and Primary Industries category the following year and the same title at the merged Casey Cardinia Business Awards last year.

WHEELY MEGA EXPECTATIONS NEW BUSINESS Sponsor

Winner Car MegaMart Finalists Metamorph CG Pawz Ink

PAKENHAM’S Car MegaMart has developed well beyond expectations since opening 19 months ago.

The Commercial Drive automotive retail development is home to both motor vehicle sales and supporting trades such as mechanics and detailers, plus a cafe and finance office.

Karlie Thexton said operations started in January last year.

“The land was available and, obviously, this is a major growth corridor for the south-eastern suburbs,” she said.

“It’s definitely developed beyond our expectations.

“Stage one and two are at 80 per cent complete and the factories are sitting at about 70 per cent complete.”

Ms Thexton said Car MegaMart wanted to lease its last three available yards and would start on stage three development plans next year.

This is to include more automotive yards plus caravan industry space.

“We believe that we are a fantastic new business in the area and are providing a lot of employment opportunities for the community and beyond,” she said.

“Currently we have 18 independent yards here.

“We’re all a team together and without them we wouldn’t be where we are today.”

Ms Thexton said the Car MegaMart database showed about a third of sales were local.

“We’re excited about the future and we see it as bright,” she said.

LITTLE SHOP’S A BODY BUILDER TRADES AND CONSTRUCTION Sponsor

Winner Cranbourne Bodyworks Finalists K & D Bak Painting and Decorating KD Landscapes

IN 1988, Kevin and Nikki Slattery opened Cranbourne Bodyworks – a small shop on an unsealed road.

It was initially a business that would buy and sell cars but as people kept coming back the little shop grew.

Now, Cranbourne Bodyworks is one of the region’s most trusted mechanics and employs 14 qualified tradespeople.

Its reputation for excellence has seen it named the winner of the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business award in the Trades category.

“I’m very excited about this.

It wasn’t expected, but hoped,” Kevin said, accepting the award.

“You can’t have a great business without great staff.

“Thanks to my wife for putting up with me.”

Office manager Nikki said the business’s strong focus on service has kept customers returning for the past 27 years.

“It’s all about service.

We understand that it’s a real

“We offer courtesy cars but we also work to get our customers’ cars back to them

Kevin and Nikki regularly send their employees to workshops and training sessions to ensure they are kept up to date with the knowledge and

skills required to succeed in such a rapidly evolving industry.

“Cars are always developing so we work hard to ensure that the staff are always up to

date,” Nikki said.

The business is also a certified Peugeot recommended repairer but Nikki said the expertise of staff covers a wide range of vehicles.

“Anything from prestige to the tradie ute,” she said.

“There are certain types of parts that should never be repaired and others have repair procedures that must be upheld.”

Cranbourne Bodyworks is also preparing to roll out an apprenticeship program which will give local students the best possible start in a diverse and prosperous industry.

It’s all part of a peoplefocused approach that has brought the business incredible success and popularity.

“We really owe this to our customers and staff.

“Cranbourne has just boomed and we have got some incredibly loyal customers.”

AMBROSIA CAFE RAISES BAR IN JANUARY of 2004, Danielle Finning and Gaston Robot opened Ambrosia – a unique combination cafe, bar and foodstore in Berwick.

The following 11 years have seen Ambrosia grow into one of the region’s finest eating establishments and the worthy winner of the hospitality category of this year’s CaseyCardinia business awards.

“We didn’t even write a speech because we never thought we were going to win this,” Danielle said, accepting the award.

She congratulated the other category finalists, Cardinia Park Hotel and O.MY Restaurant.

“We were so proud to be up with you guys because you’re just amazing. Your quality of product is amazing,” she said.

Gaston thanked Ambrosia’s staff and customers.

“Without them it’s just four walls,” he said.

Danielle said “the growth in the business has been amazing“.

“It’s been a challenging process, opening a business from scratch, but we’ve had an incredible amount of community support, and I think that’s been a real factor in our success.”

Part of Ambrosia’s popularity among diners local and from across Melbourne is its versatility, in both its service

It’s a philosophy based on keeping guests excited and satisfied.

“We really try and take pride

in what we deliver. We listen to our guests and what they want,” she said.

“We want to give people something a little bit different, new and exciting.”

Also celebrated for its catering services, Ambrosia brings a level of flexibility rarely seen in industry.

“We can easily look after

groups of 30, 40, 50. We have catering options, we can send a chef to their house and provide wait staff and we don’t ever stipulate a group menu, although that is an option.”

Ambrosia also gives guests the opportunity to add flair to their own kitchens through the quirky products sold in its foodstore.

“It’s all the things I love to eat!” Danielle laughs.

Fabulous food, a modern setting and a relaxed atmosphere have all been keys to success for Danielle and Gaston. It’s all part of their simple, yet effective philosophy.

“Mostly for us, enjoy your moment, enjoy your friends and enjoy yourself.”

PRIZED ECOTOURIST SANCTUARY TOURISM Sponsor

Winner Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park Finalists Pakenham Racing Club Quest Narre Warren

MOONLIT Sanctuary may draw visitors from across the world, but it offers much more than the standard tourist attractions.

The winner of the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business Award in the Tourism category runs breeding programs that have helped save critically endangered species.

Director Michael Johnson said conservation was a priority for the sanctuary.

“We look at sustainability in all our operations, which is very important to us, and also the breeding of endangered species,” he said.

“The most important breeding program has been for the orange-bellied parrot, and there’s only about 60 of those left in the wild.”

In conjunction with other conservationists, Moonlit Sanctuary runs a program whereby birds are bred and eventually released into the wild. The initiative has saved the parrot from extinction.

The sanctuary believes ecotourism is crucial to raising awareness on the issues facing native Australian plants and animals.

Their lantern-lit evening tours have proven especially popular with guests.

“All Australian mammals are night animals – that’s something that people don’t realise,” Michael said.

“Even kangaroos and wallabies are more active at night and more inclined to be friendly at night. You’ll see things like gliders which don’t come out during the day and you can hand feed some of the animals.

“It’s a really intimate experience.”

The popular tours are only one of a vast array of experiences offered by the park.

Excursions and incursions educate students on the Australian ecosystem and day tours, animal encounters and talks provide guests with the chance to get up close with their favourite Australian wildlife.

Michael says there are plans to grow Moonlit Sanctuary in both its conservation and tourism programs.

“We’ll continue to ensure visitors are well catered for and we’re able to give them the best experience possible,” he said.

“The sanctuary has a very important role to play.”

DENTAL LEAVES ITS ECO MARK ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Sponsor Casey Cardinia Region

Winner Beaconsfield Dental Finalists K & D Bak Painting and Decorating Ten-Rose International Simmental

SUSTAINABILITY is a priority at Beaconsfield Dental – and it’s paid off.

Robert and Lisa Panjkov’s dental practice has been named the winner of the 2015 CaseyCardinia Business Award in the Environmental Sustainability category.

After only 18 months in operation, the owners of the practice have taken several measures to preserve the environment.

Over 60 solar panels line the roof of the practice, linked to a device displaying the electricity generated as well as the CO2 and money saved.

Located in one of the treatment rooms, patients are regularly shown the device and educated on the benefits of solar power.

The design of the building also includes low allergy pain, double glazing, LED lighting and insulation in the walls, ceilings and floors.

Robert and Lisa Panjkov. 145065

Practice manager Lisa said sustainability had been a focus from the very beginning.

“Beaconsfield Dental provides all aspects of general and cosmetic dentistry and is committed to both the

community and the environment,” she said.

“We aim to stand out by providing exceptional modern facilities, technological advances, all persons access, environmental sustainability,

with patient care our main priority.”

They’ve also kept sustainability at the forefront in the development of the business.

“Future development, when permitted, will allow us to increase the number of solar panels as the roof has been designed to accommodate many more panels,” Lisa said.

“The building is on stumps to allow space for future battery backup to give us independence from the grid.”

Water tanks with a 10,000 litre capacity also service the toilets and drip sprinkler system onto the garden, which includes over 500 indigenous plants.

Biodegradable patient bibs and cups as well as environmentally friendly kitchen and cleaning products and a largely paperless office are all simple steps that make a real difference – Beaconsfield Dental even has a compost bin.

Their focus on environmental sustainability, as well as exceptional service and care, truly sets them apart from the competition.

“Beaconsfield Dental is very proud of our commitment to the environment,” Lisa said.

WAVERLEY EMPOWERS VULNERABLE WAVERLEY Industries is more than a reputable business – it’s an organisation empowering individuals.

So much so that the Hallam not-for-profit has taken out the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business Award in the Social Enterprise category.

The judges said the organisation was an integral part of the region.

Director and CEO Frank Cresia said Waverley Industries opened a new factory in Hallam last week.

“We’ve created a lot of new jobs,” he said.

“Our success is our people.

That’s our essence and our growth, is people with disabilities.

“We’re in Hallam. Our next step is being in Cardinia. It won’t be far away.”

Across its Hallam and Notting Hill locations, Waverley Industries employs about 300 adults with special needs, specialising in packaging solutions, assembly work, manufacturing, mail outs and

mainstream schools to create pathways to the workplace.”

Working with Waverley Industries in 2001, Frank has seen it develop into a thriving business. Assisted by a team of hardworking volunteers, he says the business provides its customers with more than just high-quality products and services at competitive prices.

“We’ve gone from an organisation on its knees to a thriving, sustainable, business model,” he said.

“Customers see that they’re providing job opportunities for people that wouldn’t otherwise be working.”

He added that it was a great honour for employees, staff and volunteers to be recognised in the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business Awards.

“This is the third time we’ve been nominated, and we won in 2013,” he said.

“It’s recognition that we’re doing something that is helping the most vulnerable people in our community and their families.”

Waverley Industries’ Frank Cresia accepts the Social Enterpise Award.

Waverley Industries makes it a priority to reach out to special needs schools to provide employment opportunities.

“Our training program involves special schools and

producing things that we, as a community, need,” he said.

“They still receive their disability support pension, so working with us provides a supplement to that.”

“Their work enriches their lives and builds their selfesteem, knowing that they are

ALL POWERED UP FOR GROWTH RAY Keefe started Successful Endeavours as a home office business in 1997.

“By 2005 I realised I didn’t know how to make this thing grow,” he said.

Mr Keefe went looking for a business mentor and tracked down the right one in 2008.

He rebranded the business, repositioned it in the market and moved out of home into commercial premises.

“Four months after that we won Casey Business of the Year,” he said.

This year he took home the Casey Cardinia Business Award for Business and Professional Services.

“It’s the people behind you that make things possible,” Mr Keefe said.

“It’s one thing to have a vision. It’s another thing to get people behind you to make that happen.”

Successful Endeavours was also nationally recognised this year for its ability to innovate.

Three of its projects vied for four categories at the PACE Zenith awards in Sydney on 11 June.

The small business was a finalist at Manufacturing Monthly magazine’s Endeavour Awards on 28 May. Its ABB CQ930 three-phase power factor correction controller and Internet of Things (IoT) Monitoring Platform were up for the Australian Industrial Product of the Year.

Mr Keefe said the controller cleaned up power as it was distributed through the network.

“So that you actually burn less gas or burn less coal

or whatever it is you’re generating power from, to get the same amount of power,” Mr Keefe said.

Uses for the IoT Monitoring Platform include remote and apartment water metering.

“It talks to a cloud or a web service so you can get your data from wherever it is in the world back to somewhere central and then do something with it,” Mr Keefe said.

platform vied for the IT Application of the Year.

“This allows us to collect reading, send device updates and change the operating configuration of remotely deployed devices from our office in Berwick,” Mr Keefe said.

“I was really stoked. So much in manufacturing in Australia we’re just focusing on big things.

“To have small appliances like this actually get recognised is really good.”

Congratulations… to all the winners, finalists and nominations for the 2015 Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

As your community newspaper… we are proud of you all!

Keep on being successful in business…

MISSING 14-year-old Jade Robson-Whitehouse was found in Minyip on Saturday night (24 October) and is now safe with her parents.

A spokesman for Victoria Police confirmed that Jade was found over the weekend by Stawell detectives in Minyip in Victoria’s north-west.

But due to an ongoing investigation her step-mum Tracey Whitehouse could not say who Jade had been with in the past three weeks since she disappeared from her Junction Village home on 3 October.

Tracey confirmed that she and husband Kim Whitehouse, who were in Adelaide looking for Jade at the time, received a call about 10pm on Saturday telling them that their daughter had been found.

The teenager received medical attention and is in a stable condition.

Tracey said she and Kim “broke down crying” when they finally saw their daughter again.

“We are overwhelmed and happy she’s back, I can’t even give you the words,” she told Star News.

“We’re relieved she’s safe.”

But Tracey said it would now be a “long road to recovery”.

“It’s not just that she’s gone for three weeks and it’s now back to normal life, there’s a lot of work and counselling involved,” she said.

On the night she went miss-

ing, Jade had invited another girl to her house to sleep over, someone her parents Tracey and Kim Whitehouse said they had never met before.

It’s believed Jade had been contacting the girl through social media.

That same night Tracey went to put on a pair of shoes and when she returned to the room where the two girls had been, they were gone.

When she fronted the media just after Jade was reported missing, Tracey told reporters that her disappearance was “out of character”.

“She (the friend) said can we go and pick her up because her mum couldn’t bring her and Kim went and picked her up,” Tracey said earlier this month.

“And on the way Jade said, which was another thing out of character, we’ve got to pick her up from Cranbourne station.

“Well, Jade’s not allowed to catch trains and we communicate with parents when we’re having sleepovers and he picked the girl up and brought her back to the house.

“I asked for her mum’s number to communicate with her.

“She said her phone was flat so I charged her phone and then when the phone was charged she said my mum’s number’s missing.

“And I said well I need to drive you home to your mum now... to let your mum know you’re safe.

“So I went to get my shoes on and when I got back they were all gone.”

‘Muppet’ tag for school

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD FEDERAL Treasurer Scott Morrison has joined the chorus of voices weighing in on the National Anthem ‘opt out’ row involving a Cranbourne primary school, saying the school should be awarded the “muppet of the year award” for its actions.

Mr Morrison told 3AW on Wednesday the Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School’s decision to allow Islamic students to leave an assembly to avoid singing the Australian National Anthem was “pathetic”.

Over the past few days, the issue has been covered on at least two television networks, on 3AW and ABC radio, drawn comment from opinion writers and national columnists, and even a response from Senator Jacqui Lambie.

Despite concern from parents,

the principal of Cranbourne Carlisle Primary has strongly defended the school’s decision to allow its Muslim students the choice to leave the Year 2-6 assembly, citing an Islamic month of mourning – Muharram.

Star News broke the story last Wednesday after Lorraine McCurdy, whose grandchildren go to the school, attended the school’s assembly and was concerned by the staff’s decision to give Muslim students the option to not sing the national anthem.

Education Minister James Merlino on Tuesday threw his support behind the school, stating that the school had shown “respect and sensitivity to the different cultures and faiths within its community”, and that the action of the students “was not a sign of disrespect”.

“Outside of this observance period these students gladly participate in

singing and music in school, including our national anthem,” Mr Merlino said.

“The motto of Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School is ‘Many Cultures, One Community.’

“This is a sentiment that we should all remember and strive to uphold in our great state.”

But Opposition Leader Matthew Guy called for the minister to step in and “reverse this precedent and do it straight away”.

“Just two months ago, this government intervened to remove religious education, claiming that our schools should be secular,” he said.

“Well if our schools should be secular, why is this government allowing the Education Department to bring religion straight back into schools and somehow link that to finding our national anthem offensive?”

Ms McCurdy said she attended the assembly every week and had never seen this before.

“About 30-40 children left, all of Middle Eastern appearance,” she said.

“When we had finished singing the National Anthem, they all reappeared into the hall and sat with their classmates.

“A lot of the parents at the assembly were saddened as this was the Australian National Anthem and not to do with any religion.”

Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School Principal Cheryl Irving said the decision was made in adherence with Muharram – the Islamic month of mourning associated with Shi’a Muslims in which they do not participate in “joyful events”.

“Muharram is a cultural observation marking the death of Imam Hussein,” Ms Irving said.

“This year it falls between Tuesday 13 October and Thursday 12 November. During this time Shi’a do not participate in joyful events as it is a period of mourning.

“This includes listening to music, attending parties, wearing nail polish or make up, etc.

“Prior to last week’s Years 2-6 Assembly commencing, an announcement was made advising anyone participating in Muharram, that it was an opportune time to leave the hall as music was about to be played (the National Anthem).

“Anyone who was unable to listen to music due to this cultural observance was given adequate time to comply with their religious belief.”

There were reports police were at the school earlier in the week however a police spokesperson confirmed it was a “routine patrol” not related to any incident.

Injured pet dies after horror attack on the footpath A PET dog has died of its injuries after a family was attacked on a Cranbourne footpath by another dog earlier this month.

The attacking dog was put down soon after the incident.

The incident happened as Naomi Taguchi, her two young daughters and small papillon dog Koji were walking along Marklin Street on Wednesday 7 October.

Three weeks after the terrifying incident, the Taguchi family’s dog died due to the internal injuries.

“We are absolutely devastated by this latest turn of events,” Ms Taguchi said.

She said she was walking her dog with her one-year-old and three-year-old daughters in a pram when they were rushed by the dog which looked like a bull mastiff.

It was 5pm when Ms Taguchi noticed the thin rope tying the dog to a house verandah pole.

“I walked up past a house that had a fence but no gate and couldn’t see the owner of the dog, then the rope broke and it ran toward me barking more aggressively than before,” Ms Taguchi said.

“My heart was in my throat, I was panicking with sheer terror.

“I started moving to get away and then my legs were pushed out from under me and the next thing I knew the dog was attacking my dog which was on top of me and I had pulled the pram down with me and my daughters were screaming hanging upside down strapped into the pram.”

Yelping, barking, crying and screams for help alerted the aggressive dog’s owner to the scene, where he dragged his dog off Ms Taguchi’s papillon.

The owner said he hadn’t noticed that his dog had got away and offered to drive the family home.

“He kept apologising, saying the dog was still a puppy and a big boofhead,” Ms Taguchi said.

After the incident Ms Taguchi spent five

Mum Naomi Taguchi with daugters Ayana (17 months) and Soraya (3) with their injured family Dog Koji who died an hour after this photo was taken on Tuesday.

hours in emergency at Casey Hospital and had X-rays on her sprained ankle.

She later found that this was the second time that the dog had attacked someone.

“She was also walking her toddler in a pram with her dog when the big aggressive dog tried to attack and ended up biting the pram,” Ms Taguchi said.

Ms Taguchi hasn’t been able to walk, drive or work since the incident and has had to pay numerous medical and veterinary bills including for physiotherapy and hydrotherapy.

“The financial impact on my family has been huge,” she said.

With the incident now in the hands of the City of Casey, Ms Taguchi confirmed the owners of the dog decided to euthanase the animal.

Ms Taguchi, a Japanese teacher, said she had mixed emotions about the outcome.

“I’m happy the dog won’t attack anyone

else but sad it wasn’t properly restrained or trained – I’m sad the dog lost its life through no fault of its own,” Ms Taguchi said.

Casey local-laws officers have been in talks with Ms Taguchi, who said the council had a strong case against the owners.

“They have broken the Domestic Animals Act of 1994 which states animals must be properly restrained and cannot rush at people,” Ms Taguchi said.

Ms Taguchi said she hoped to get a form of financial compensation if the case is taken to court by the City of Casey.

“These types of incidents are rife in this town,” she said.

“The council has been swamped with cases, I think a lot of Cranbourne residents don’t realise what the Act and laws entail.”

Casey’s community safety manager Caroline Bell said the investigations into the attack are “ongoing” and was unable to comment further.

DOG attacks in the City of Casey have more than doubled since 2013.

To date the council has prosecuted 18 dog attacks in the area – which shows an increase of more than 60 per cent on last year’s figures.

Legal action was taken out on seven different incidents involving a vicious dog in 2013 and that number increased to 11 in 2014.

Casey animal welfare advocate and senior investigator at Animal Cruelty Hotline Australia, Barrie Tapp said he’s “not surprised” at the upsurge in reports.

“With population booming in Casey it’s expected to rise but people are not keeping their dogs locked in the facilities provided or chained up properly,” Mr Tapp said.

On the hunt for three lose staffordshire bull terriers on Walter Street, Cranbourne, on Sunday 25 October, Mr Tapp said he gets calls about escaped dogs every week.

“We pass a lot of those cases over to the rangers but I just can’t believe people aren’t taking responsibility for their animals and other

dogs are getting attacked while being walked on a lead,” he said.

Chief Inspector with the RSPCA for two decades, Mr Tapp said all types of dogs can attack but “it’s always the owner’s fault” if a dog does so.

“Every owner should train their dog – especially dogs because they can be so unpredictable and money shouldn’t come into getting obedience training,” Mr Tapp said.

“Not training a dog is a psychological form of animal cruelty for the animal and I don’t believe a dog should be put down after one incident, it needs to be trained and given a second chance.”

The City of Casey is currently investigating a dog attack that occurred on Wednesday 7 October on Marklin Street, Cranbourne. The incident was the second time the dog had attacked a mother walking with a dog and a pram. That dog has since been euthanased.

SAM Aziz was elected the new mayor of Casey on Monday after no-one else nominated for the role during the public meeting.

Star News understands Cr Gary Rowe planned to nominate himself but backed away at the last minute after it was made clear he wouldn’t have the numbers in a private council meeting prior to the public election at 5.30pm on Monday.

Apart from councillors Rowe, Rafal Kaplon, Susan Serey and Rosalie Crestani, the rest of the chamber stood in favour of Cr Aziz’s appointment.

Cr Crestani raised dissent but was not permitted to air it by Cr Mick Morland, who oversaw the election in one of his last official duties as the 2015 mayor.

In an interesting move councillors Morland and Wayne Smith were elected as joint deputy mayors.

Cr Aziz, who served as mayor in 2011, was appointed to the position again despite the Councillor Conduct Panel earlier his month issuing a finding of misconduct against him for referring to Cr Kaplon as a “parasitic mosquito” in an email.

Both councillors told Star News last week the issue had been resolved.

After donning the mayoral robes and re-entering the council chambers following a welcoming call from the town crier, Mayor Aziz said it was a “great honour” to be elected into the position for a second time.

“I’m very humbled by the opportunity and the confidence shown to me by the vast majority of my colleagues,” he said.

“Last time I served as mayor

Sam Aziz was elected the new mayor of Casey on Monday. 145930 we achieved some great things and I think we’ll do it again this time around. The city’s larger and more challenging so we’ve got lots to do and to accomplish for all our residents.”

He said council needed to ensure those disadvantaged in Casey were taken care of.

“We need to basically look after the disadvantaged of our community

Ammo found trying to force his way into a Cranbourne house while carrying a hammer and a machete about 4pm on 25 October.

One neighbour told police that a man had been demanding their car keys as he banged on their home’s door, the court was told.

Another saw a man at his front door allegedly holding a machete to his own neck.

When police arrived, Thomas was unarmed but carrying blister-packs of tranquilisers, pain killers and anti-epileptic tablets.

A hammer was found in the back seat of Thomas’s car, whose registered owner lived in Cannons Creek.

Sen Const Frost told the court that Thomas was not fit to be interviewed at the time and was saying that he would slit his own throat.

“He hasn’t changed his drug use and behaviour since being released from prison,” the informant said.

A defence lawyer told an earlier sentence indication hearing that Thomas had lapsed into ice use and was influenced by

drugs at the time of the incident.

The applicant was prescribed with Valium for his anxiety, had a diagnosed intellectual disability and an acquired brain injury, the lawyer said.

The court was told that Thomas had supplied several home addresses but their occupants denied he lived there.

One address was of a known Castlemaine drug user, the court was told.

Thomas told the court that the Castlemaine home had been visited by somebody who overdosed and that he’d threatened to take the Cannons Creek occupant’s phone to St Kilda Road police.

During the sentence indication, magistrate Barry Schultz said the ammunition was a “very destructive projectile”.

“I can see your client is anxious to get out. His demeanour in the dock has not served him well.”

Mr Schultz declined to give a sentence indication. He rejected bail due to Thomas’s unacceptable risk.

Intruders leave empty handed

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD INTRUDERS tried to break into two Tooradin shops over the weekend, but were forced to flee without stealing anything.

The Pelican Cafe and Wholesome Wholefood stores, both on the South Gippsland Highway, were broken into sometime overnight between

Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October.

In the first incident, the intruders forced their way into the rear storeroom but were unable to get inside the main part of the cafe.

In the second incident, the intruders also forced their way in through a rear door but fled

A MAN, who allegedly roamed Cranbourne with a hammer and machete and was found with .22 calibre hollow-point ammunition in his pocket, has denied to a court that he was an unacceptable bail risk.

Leigh Andrew Thomas, 36, claimed in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 26 October that he had been drugged and framed by a Castlemaine GP. His car keys had been stolen and the ammunition was put in his pocket, he said.

During his submission, he described cutting open his own penis using handcuffs while in custody.

Thomas also said he’d been “overdosed by the system” while on methadone, that police had threatened to shoot him, a female associate had been raped, that he’d found up to 15 paedophiles in Castlemaine and that he was facing no more than a $750 fine for his offences.

Informant Senior Constable Warren Frost of Narre Warren police said that Thomas had been reported by neighbours

Our family was at Myuna Farm this week for our grandchildren’s birthday party and found a large Muslim party at the rear of the farm having a great time (about 30 people).

The time period for not to listen to music, attend parties etc. is between 13 October and 12 November but did not seem to matter at Myuna Farm last Saturday.

Pity our national anthem is so down trodden.

WHEN breast cancer has haunted your family for three generations, raising money for the most common women’s cancer digs deep.

For Cranbourne East resident, Leslie Rowe, almost every one of her female relatives has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“My grandmother died of breast cancer and her mum too, and my mum is one of four girls and they have all had it and that’s as far back as we can trace,” Leslie said.

The 33-year-old mum of two boys said it was something that was always at the back of her mind. “I’m the eldest of two sisters, and we’re all too young to have mammograms, but when I’m 40 I’ll go yearly,” she said, which is how her mother, Marie, caught the cancerous cells.

Encouraged to get checked every two years, Marie was having a mammogram annually because of her family history, and sure enough found cancer cells riddled through her breast.

Cancer warriors Marie and Leslie after Marie’s mastectomy. 145833 “Because mum got a cold before her mastectomy, she had to wait eight weeks before the next operation and in that time the cells had grown to more than 3.5cm,” Leslie said.

With Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie raising the profile of preventative double mastecto-

mys due to her own family history, Leslie said she wouldn’t do it.

“My sisters and I know to always be vigilant, but I don’t think any of us would have them taken off in caution,” she said.

With her own mum the most recent cancer patient in her family, Leslie said raising funds for the Cancer Council is even more important.

“This is my 11th year of fund-raising for the Cancer Council,” she said.

Known for her second hand children’s markets and ‘Girl’s Night In’ events, Leslie donates 100 per cent of the money made each year to cancer research and support programs.

“I saw just how effective the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ beauty workshops were first hand for my mum,” Leslie said. “I saw a room full of really flat women and when they left they all walked out completely different, with wigs and make-up on.”

Turning around

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CASEY Hospital has declared it is turning around reported higher-than average mortality rates for babies born at the hospital.

At a community forum on Tuesday 27 October, a team of Monash Health maternity bosses responded to concerns raised by two expecting couples due to the figures.

One father-to-be described the hospital’s perinatal mortality ratios for babies born at the hospital as “off the charts”.

“If Casey Hospital has more low-risk births, why is (the ratio) so bad?”

According to a state health department report, the hospital’s perinatal mortality ratio for babies born at 22 weeks was 168 in 2008/’12, well higher than the statewide benchmark of 100.

For babies at 32 weeks, the ratio was 138, according to the Victorian perinatal services performance indicators 2008/’12 report.

The rate was the secondhighest in the state, though the under-fire Bacchus Marsh Hospital was not featured in the report.

Professor Euan Wallace, head of Monash Health’s obstetrics and gynaecology, told the forum that the high ratios were a product of the hospital’s small size during the reporting period.

The hospital’s births had grown annually from less than 400 in 2005 to about 2000 expected in 2016.

“In a small hospital, which is where we have been, just one

Casey Hospital's maternity nurse unit manager Colleen White, and obstetrics and gynaecology head Mark Tarrant at a forum on high infant mortality rates at the hospital. 146193 Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS still-born baby makes the numbers look a lot bigger.”

Prof Wallace said since the 2008/’12 reporting period, Casey and Dandenong hospitals had closed to “much closer to 100”.

“Much of that is due to Casey getting bigger and bigger, and also because of the improvements across the service.

“I don’t think there’s anything unique about Casey in terms of service and risks.”

He noted also the stringent review of birth cases and practices each month by a Monash Health committee.

The health network’s “mission” was to score below 100 across all of its hospitals by 2016, he said.

nurse unit manager Colleen White last week labelled recent media reports about the maternity unit as “disappointing” and “misleading”.

“Casey Hospital is an extremely safe place to have a baby.”

Ms White said the hospital had delivered “thousands of healthy babies” over the fiveyear period.

“Unfortunately, we had a small number of deaths above what we expected for Casey Hospital specifically.

“That is what the figure represents, but it is not an indication that any were avoidable or preventable.

“We know from our own recent reviews that our ratios are now absolutely back to what they are expected to be.”

A spokeswoman for Health Minister Jill Hennessy said the health service had not been identified as “being of concern” after a review of all perinatal deaths across the state over the past seven years.

She said the government announced new reporting measures including requiring all health services to review any perinatal death, and the quick review of cases by a statewide perinatal autopsy service run by the Royal Women’s Hospital.

Regional perinatal mortality committees will also review each death within three months.

The spokeswoman said the Department of Health and Human Services would review all of the state’s perinatal services to identify if any improvements could be made.

It’s None Of Our Business But ...

WELCOME to the first instalment of a new weekly column in the News called It’s None of Our Business But.....

It’s is a little bit cheeky, a little bit irreverent, and aims to bring to light the funny, the quirky and the slightly ridiculous.

Readers are welcome to contribute photographs or snippets of news, the funnier the better. Email dailyeditor@starnewsgroup. com.au.

MANY happy returns were the order of the day at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards on 22 October.

The owners of last year’s Business of the Year, Highview Accounting Services, had welcomed a baby that day.

City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland led the gala dinner guests in a rendition of Happy Birthday for host Jean Kittson, on the eve of her 60th birthday.

And in his opening speech, Cr Morland asked the crowd to wish his wife Kay a happy birthday for that day.

“This is the last time you’re going to see me because my wife informed me that she’s going to kill me when I get home,” Cr Morland said when he returned to the stage.

WHEN a Star News journalist from Warrandyte, a mere 40 kilometres away from the City of Casey, runs into a fellow school student from ‘Wazza High’ in of all places - a Narre Warren kindergarten - it’s all eyes bulging “Fancy seeing you here!”

An unexpected meeting, but it goes to show urban sprawl is upon us and more and more eastern suburbs kids are moving out south!

THE editors of the Age seem to have let one slip through the keeper this week.

Readers were intrigued when an opinion piece for the national newspaper discussing the national anthem opt-out controversy reported the school in question, Cranbourne Carlisle Primary, was located in Broadmeadows.

We would have thought that the school’s suburb location is pretty self-explanatory.

A cut above

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

Melissa Tucci and Haydn Tracey-Shaw, who are both 20 years old, live on the same street in Cardinia and had never set eyes on each other before! ate decided on 20-year-old Melissa Tucci who attended Kooweerup Secondary College - just 20 minutes down the road from his old turf.

But the young tale of radio concocted love gets better, Melissa calls the same street in Cardinia home.

“It’s such a coincidence she lives a couple of doors down from me,” Haydn said.

“I’ve never met her before, it was just a freak thing, we have a few mutual friends but don’t have the same social circles.”

Haydn said he will be taking it slow with his new Facebook friend.

“I haven’t got her number yet.”

A cake decorator and sweets specialist Melissa Tucci said she’s open to love.

“He’s a bit of a cutie and I’m excited to get to know him a bit better,” she said.

A holiday somewhere warm and sunny is on the cards for the new ‘Butchelor’ duo along with a conversation that lasts longer than a “minute”.

MOVE over Bachelor Australia, there’s a new country boy in town and he knows fresh meat when he sees it.

Melbourne’s first ‘Butchelor’ competition has named Tooradin’s GK Meats apprentice, Haydn Tracey-Shaw the hottest of all.

The 20-year-old entered the Fox FM quest for love last week and after radio personalities Fifi and Dave took the public’s votes into “consideration” Haydn was named the Butchelor on Thursday 22 October.

The third-year apprentice and manager of the gourmet butcher said he is ecstatic to be named the Butchelor.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to possibly meet the love of my life,” he said.

With Melbourne’s dating scene often resembling that of a meat market, Haydn said he’s never been head over heels in love.

“I’ve been single for over a year but it’s never been serious,” Haydn said.

Single and looking for love, Haydn may have just found it with a local cut... almost literally the girl next door.

Just a day after winning the dating competition, Haydn had three young women vying for a bacon roasted rose as he made the cut live on air on Friday morning.

“They were all lovely girls but I felt I had more of a connection with Melissa,” Haydn said.

ACE help goes much further

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE ACE Foundation had its “genesis” over 20 years ago.

At the charity’s inaugural fund-raiser on Friday night, chairman Leon Shapero told the more than 100 guests gathered in the Cranbourne Turf Club that the origins of ACE could be traced back to the early '90s, when Dr Shapero first set up the Thompson Road Clinic in Cranbourne.

The ACE Foundation, which was officially incorporated by Dr Shapero in August last year, aims to encourage, support and help educate local teenage students facing disadvantage.

All the money raised from last week’s dinner will go directly to the children.

“ACE as an acronym means Aiding Casey Education. And as a number of you in this room know, it had its genesis over 20 years ago,” Dr Shapero said in his opening address.

“The mission statement or vision of ACE, that you may have read on the screens around the room, is to assist in the educational pursuits of disadvantaged children, predominantly in Years 6 to 10, in the City of Casey, and that the interpretation of disadvantage is fairly broad - it may mean anything from language, culture, socioeconomic, physical, family fracture, it has a broad interpretation.

“Over 28 years ago, I started working in Cranbourne and it was soon obvious that there were a lot of very clever and capable kids in this area who don’t reach their full potential, and I know there are a lot of people in this room that have seen that over the years as well.

“So I decided to create a foundation.”

Principals and teachers from many Casey schools attended the fund-raiser, which was emceed by comedian Elliott Goblet and featured many performers and special guests including a Jerry Lewis impersonator (Jessie Tabone), magician Anthony Di Masi, cartoonist Justin Lloyd, and singers Liza Dimitriadis and Jayme Lee Hanekom.

To top it off, there was entertainment from The Headmasters Apprentices - a band made up completely of school principals.

The Headmasters Apprentices play to the crowd.

Jerry Lewis (Jessie Tabone) and Teresa Muratore.

Also in attendance were the other ACE board members, including Casey Councillor Amanda Stapledon, Cranbourne Secondary College principal Ken Robinson, Courtney Gardens Primary School principal Loretta Hamilton, Federal Parliament political staffer Janet Halsall, Highview Accounting owner Silvio Marinelli and Teresa Muratore.

While ACE is still in its early stages, the foundation rewards students by supllying funding allocated by the schools, and, in particular, encouragement awards for children who, their teachers identify, would benefit greatly from them.

A study centre has also been set up at the Thompson Road clinic - a private area upstairs supervised by university students who help tutor high school students.

ACE is also assisting principal Ken Robinson in running a catch-up education program at Cranbourne Secondary for young pregnant girls and mothers of young children.

“It’s inspiring to see young girls, with very young children, and varying levels of support, find the courage to return to study and have the facilities provided for them that Ken and his staff provide,” Dr Shapero said.

ACE Chairman Leon Shapero speaks to guests at the inaugural dinner.

Pictures: WIDI BASKORO “So we’ve been very proud to be involved in that as well.”

Mr Robinson echoed this sentiment, praising ACE’s support of his school and the many others in Casey.

“You don’t often get philanthropic organisations actually coming in to schools and doing stuff, it’s really hard to get funding,” he said.

“I see it as a way to support the kids, kids that are disadvantaged.”

Fellow board member and Casey Councillor Amanda Stapledon said it was heartwarming to see the community throwing its support behind ACE and local children at the dinner last week.

“We need it because our kids sometimes fall between the gaps,” she said.

“We need to be able to give them every opportunity to be the best they can be ... I really believe if we give children a helping hand, they’ll shine.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Lab coats come off

Megan Quinn.

By CASEY NEILL SCIENTISTS are leaving the lab and meeting manufacturers, with innovation in their sights.

A CSIRO and the South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) collaboration is also taking manufacturers off the factory floor and introducing them to researchers.

CSIRO strategic initiatives and collaboration director Ros Hore said the meetings held since March have opened her team’s eyes. “They didn’t realise there were so many manufacturing businesses basically on our doorstep,� she said. “We’ve got a whole manufacturing research program. There’s probably close to 200 scientists.�

Ms Hore said they now had a better understanding of how businesses operated, the issues they were facing and their needs. “Collaboration for an innovation outcome is the ultimate goal, but if we can just start broadening the dialogue...� she said. “This is not a quick fix. “This is all about relationships. Relationships take trust and a lot of talking.�

Ms Hore said scientists toured manufacturing facilities and then came up with ideas for improvements. “We put it back onto the company to then select what they’d like to pursue further,� she said. “At the moment it’s not costing businesses anything other than their time. “Industry don’t think about going to CSIRO for solutions. “And they don’t even realise that not

everything requires a research solution, but we can often connect them to a solution. “We can’t do everything but we have a wealth of information.�

SEMMA executive officers Adrian Boden said: “We can confidently say that despite having visited only seven businesses, the collaboration has already achieved its objectives.� “Businesses have appreciated getting access to the expertise of leading scientists from the CSIRO and have also found that the process was not as complicated as they imagined.�

Ray Keefe from Berwick’s Successful Endeavours has so far had four meetings with the CSIRO. “The first was a visit by them to our office to understand our business a little better and to help them work out where

the fit might be,� he said. “From that came a number of groups within the CSIRO expressing an interest in having a more detailed discussion.�

Mr Keefe spoke with groups in the big data and modelling area and in instrument development technologies. “The big data group have some really world-class capability,� he said. “Our potential work with them would be augmenting that with some of our own technology so that can provide a complete solution rather than a component of a solution.�

He’ll meet with a third group later in the year. “They are interested in low power telemetry, an area we also work in, and could have some useful technology in that space,� he said.

View from the high end MEGAN Quinn has built a career in luxury.

The Net-A-Porter co-founder will share experiences from her 25-year career at the final Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast for the year.

Inside Retail in 2013 named Ms Quinn the 15th most powerful woman in Australian retail.

She specialises in the luxury end of retailing, advertising, publishing and design for the fashion, jewellery, hotel and airline industries.

Today she’s a non-executive director of UNICEF Australia and Specialty Fashion Group, and an Ambassador for Fitted For Work.

Her role with Net-A-Porter’s launch in 2000 was to direct the luxury online shopping hub’s brand development.

As creative director, she designed the packaging, directed the website design and editorial, and was a member of the buying team.

As human resources director she hired, trained and managed all staff.

The breakfast will run from 6.45am to 9am on Wednesday 25 November at Cardinia Cultural Centre, Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham.

Business profile

Hardware heats up MASTERS is proud to bring extra jobs, lower prices, more products and better competition to Cranbourne’s hardware and home improvement enthusiasts.

Masters Cranbourne has been a long time coming, and its construction was a labour of love for all involved.

They are now pleased to join the Cranbourne Homemaker Centre to give their customers the very best convenience when shopping for products to improve their home.

Since opening their doors about four weeks ago, we’ve had thousands of customers visit the store and the feedback has been fantastic. They’ve told us that they like the new layout of the store as well as our huge range, including exciting products that are stocked exclusively, like the US market-leading paint, Sherwin-Williams.

The team is buzzing with the great response and love helping customers with advice and tips to get those projects around the house done in time for summer.

Masters wants to thank the Cranbourne community for welcoming them. They have employed 130 locals to join the team, and are employing people from a wide range of backgrounds - from young people embarking on their first paid job to retired tradies who want to pass on their knowledge to their customers.

The 13,500 square metre store is the 62nd Masters store to open across Australia, offering a huge range of more than 36,000 products.

Masters Cranbourne Store opens with a bang, offering competitive hardware prices for customers. 145406 To date, the garden section has been the most popular among customers, particularly those green thumbs and gardeners hoping to spruce up their front and backyards before warmer weather sets in.

They are also selling lots of kitchens, bathroom products and power tools.

The store has a large paint department, ‘tool shop’ and flooring department, as well as a spacious garden section.

Modern lighting, bathroom and kitchen displays all form part of the store, with an integrated design and installation service to simplify the often complex renovation and maintenance process for customers.

The drive-through area is catering to the needs of local tradies, offering outstanding value, service and quality.

The Masters ‘Best Price Guarantee’ means if customers find a better price on an identical item at another retailer, even up to 30 days after purchase, Masters will beat it by 10 per cent.

The team at Masters Cranbourne is now on hand to help the customers make every project a reality, no matter how big or small. They have everything needed to build, fix, renovate or decorate your home, and encourage customers to visit their store and learn more about the offers.

Art from their hearts

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD WHEN experiencing mental illness, loneliness comes naturally.

Even though her better judgement told her otherwise, Leena, from Cranbourne, felt she was isolated in her suffering.

But after joining the creative expression group run by EACH Social and Community Health, Leena was reminded and comforted by the fact that she wasn’t alone in her suffering.

She spoke of how beneficial art had been to her rehabilitation at Friday’s Art Heals exhibition, the first mental health art expo run by EACH, and held at the Cardinia Cultural Centre.

In the last year or so EACH has grown its services to include Casey, Cardinia and Dandenong and participants from all three regions had artwork on display at this week’s exhibition.

“It does help because you also see a lot more to do with other people who have similar problems and similar issues,” Leena said of the art program.

“You often think when you’re unwell that nobody else is going to be feeling like this or understand how I’m feeling.

“Although logically you know that’s not true but you feel like there’s nothing worse than this, inside.

“But then when you’re in a group of other people like that as well as you, you can see that we’re not really as unwell as we might feel because we’re able to function in these groups.”

Tina Strafford, a community outreach worker, recently started working for EACH and runs the creative

Helen Madden with her piece, 'Flower Friends'.

Aisha, a member of the art program, spoke at the opening of the Picture: ROB CAREW exhibition. 145004 expression group.

It was Tina’s idea to hold the exhibition, an event now likely to be held annually.

“I’m so proud, one, because my manager trusted me enough to do this and I wanted to do it classy and do it nice and it all worked out and paid off,” Tina said.

“Mental health and art always go together. I’m an art therapist, I do work as a support worker with EACH but my background is art and art therapy and I know how it helps people when they can’t actually speak or say things that are going on in their head.”

Tina points out a particular piece of artwork hanging on the cultural centre wall, created by one of her participants.

Depicted on the canvas, among other things, is a person, then a wall, then a drawing of the world.

‘She’s very articulate but she couldn’t talk, she could not explain

what was going on in her head,” Tina said of the artist who drew the piece.

“So to actually draw it out ... she was actually seeing these gremlins crawling all up and down her house, this is the vortex that she kept feeling like she was falling into.

“And she felt that there was the world, and there was a wall between her and the world.

“She was so outside of the whole world and everything else.”

EACH Recovery South East Area Manager Lisa Gort was blown away by the exhibition, echoing the pride expressed by Lisa.

“There needs to be further distigmatisation of mental health, so having artwork in the community and people being able to express where they’re at with their mental health goes a long way to help them,” Ms Gort said.

‘Green’ lights, a bright move CASEY’S street lights have been upgraded and are greener than ever before.

Delivering on its promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cut street lighting costs, the Casey council has changed more than 9000 old lights.

Since November last year, thousands of mercury vapour streetlights have been upgraded to energyefficient LEDs. A proud mayor Mick Morland said the new lighting technology had resulted in significant savings.

“Analysis has showed council has saved $193,000 and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 995 tonnes in the past six months alone,” Cr Morland said.

“These savings are impressive, however not all of the lights had been converted to LEDs at the time of the analysis so these savings are expected to increase further.”

The City of Casey expects to save about $700,000 a year on the street lighting upgrade.

The greener lights have been installed in more than 16 suburbs across Casey including Endeavour Hills and Tooradin.

HIDDEN behind the glitzy tiaras, long lashes and pageant smiles is a cause close to Becky Branca’s heart.

A part of breast cancer awareness month, Ms Branca held a Girls Night In. Cranbourne’s own Mrs Australia Globe and a Cancer Council ambassador said her pyjama party Girls Night In was her way of spreading the word about checking your breasts for lumps.

“I currently have two family members battling breast cancer and I also lost my grandmother and aunty to it,” Ms Branca said.

“I’m waiting on results from BRCA testing to see if I have the cancer gene and luckily my mammogram came back clear, but I can’t stress how important it is to be vigilant in checking your breasts.”

Ms Branca has also produced a healthy living e-book to be released next month, with proceeds going to the not-for-profit Women In Need Foundation.

So far the Cancer Council’s Girls Night In has raised more than $170,000.

RED LETTER DAY FOR INDUSTRY STUDENTS THE young people who will be shaping Melbourne’s real estate future attended the RMIT - Red23 Industry Learning Day recently.

More than 50 RMIT property, construction and project management students were given real life experience in how to create, manage and complete a property development by leading industry experts.

The Industry Learning Day, organized by residential sales and marketing group Red23, was designed to give third and fourth year property students exposure to the complexities of property development in a “live” environment.

The students were presented with many practical example aspects of the types of property development that they are studying in their property, construction and project management degree.

Key development topics were examined in presentations by Russel Tait, Project Planner from the City of Greater Dandenong, Rolland Gorriceta from the Burbank Group and David Lunardi a development manager at Intrapac.

The topics covered all aspects of the delivery of the projects including site acquisition, planning, legal, marketing, construction, operation and risk

The three presenters used real live examples across both land and built-form in the Dandenong region following site visits to Burbank’s Metro VillageMosaic apartments in central Dandenong and Intrapac’s Somerfield project in Keysborough.

“Red23 is extremely committed to affording our future leaders an understanding of the development process and best practice principles,” Red23’s general manager of research and business development Andrew Perkins said.

“The event was a great success, showcasing the breadth of talent in Casey across all ages and in support of great local charity.“ The 2015 Casey’s Got Talent final winners were: 0 – 10 years: winner Bella Cruse (dancer), runner-up Steve Widjaja (pianist)

16 – 20 years: winner Eden Fernandes (vocalist), runnerup Emily Stuckey (vocalist and played guitar)

THE Casey All Ford Car Show is off to a flying start.

Rotary Club of Narre Warren held the inaugural event at Cranbourne Racecourse on Sunday 25 October, “Getting a new fund-raising event happening is really hard,” Rotarian Phillip McMillan said.

“But off the ground it is and the Casey All Ford Car Show is off to a flying start.”

About 150 cars took part and three car clubs attended.

“The feedback we had from talking to the car clubs and the car people there was that they were glad to see a Ford event this side of town,” Mr McMillan said.

“We were a little disappointed in the number of public attending the event, but most of the marketing was concentrated on cars this year as without cars you don’t have a show.”

He said there was now a solid event management plan to run the event in the future.

“This will enable us to make improvements and get the marketing out much earlier next year and plan for an event about double this size,” he said.

Vocal winner: Alexandra Nicole (vocalist and played guitar) Dance winner: Babysteps - The Royal Line (dancers)

The first Rotary Club of Narre Warren Casey All Ford Car Show attracted about 150 cars.

Sixteen prizes were handed out at the car show. Here are 12 of the winners.

Levi’s win ‘takes the cake’

By RUSSELL BENNETT FOR the second time in as many years, local ironman Levi Maxwell has flown the Aussie flag with pride in Hawaii - defending his age group title at the Kona Ironman World Championships.

Maxwell, from Cranbourne, headed back to again push his body to the limit in the 3.8 kilometre swim, 180 kilometre bike ride, and marathon-length 42 kilometre run which he conquered in eight hours and 52 minutes last year.

Maxwell, a former golfer in his mid20s, again competed in the male 25-29 category and won in eight hours and 53 minutes despite suffering through a setback with illness in the final stages of his training for the big dance.

“My plan was to do my best in the swim and try to minimize damage and time lost to the better swimmers,” Maxwell said in an interview with the Gazette.

“This is very difficult for me as at Kona, unless you are a great swimmer and can break away from the pack from the gun, you get stuck in the massive 2000-person wrestle which slows you down.”

Maxwell had a strong swim leg but still emerged from the water in 18th place in his age group, and with plenty of work still left to do.

“I am a strong bike rider and the run is my strongest of the three disciplines so my plan was to ride hard and try and put some time into the field,” he said.

“This tactic was paying off for the first 100km of the bike as I was in the lead, but riding alone in no-man’s land costs a lot of energy and the group caught me and I was battling with some cramps, so I knew I was going to have to rely on my run if I was going to defend my title.”

Maxwell was fifth off the bike in four hours and 50 minutes but ran down his competition in style - with

Maxwell still had plenty of work ahead of him when he finished the bike leg in fifth place.

Pictures: FINISHER PIX the fastest run split of two hours and 58 minutes - to secure an incredible win.

“Defending any title, let alone a world title, brings enormous pressure,” he said.

“I would be lying if I said I wasn’t more nervous than usual going into the race - just ask my girlfriend - I knew everyone would be gunning for me, and I always place a high expectation on myself and that was multiplied with

the expectation of defending a title.

Pulling it off made it all the sweeter!”

Maxwell estimates that he put in between 25 and 35 hours per week of preparation - including things like massage and recovery as well as training - in the lead-up to the big race.

Being the fastest Aussie to cross the line - that just takes the cake.

“It is an awesome thing to be able to say!” he said.

Levi Maxwell has successfully defended his crown at the Kona Ironman World Championships.

“Not only for my own satisfaction but to be able to “fly the flag” for this great country brings me more satisfaction.

“Australia had the second largest representation at Kona and you could tell.

“Hearing ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie’ out on the course and up on the stage at the awards presentation still gives me goosebumps.”

New rooms are ace for tennis

By RUSSELL BENNETT JUST like its home suburb, the Clyde Tennis Club just continues to grow.

In his last official function as City of Casey Mayor, councillor Mick Morland officially opened a $180,000 extension to the tennis club’s rooms at the Clyde Recreation Reserve on Sunday.

The extension includes a new disabled toilet, a coaches office, and a storeroom to help cater for the potential growth in numbers of both senior and junior members over the coming years as the local population explodes.

Hans Dellemyn has been involved at the Clyde Tennis Club for the past 15 years and is the current president.

He is thrilled with the extension, and what it means for the club.

“I’ve been with the club for probably 15 years and I’m here every day,” he said at the opening on Sunday.

“Before work I’m here making sure everything’s ok.

“I love the people, and I love meeting people. I love getting kids out there having a go. "We’ve got little ones who can barely swing a racquet, but they’re having a go.”

John Carter, Dom Moretti from the Belmond on Clyde estate, Cr Mick Morland, Ken Blencowe and Hans Dellemyn are thrilled with the new Clyde Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Tennis Club upgrades. 146196 The club started way back in 1979, with the clubrooms officially opened in 1983. Since then the club has enjoyed real success as part of the West Gippsland Tennis Association and Berwick and District Tennis Association.

“I believe with the number of estates in this area now, and the growth of the area, the Clyde Tennis Club will benefit greatly,” Hans said.

“We hope with the help and support of the City of Casey, that this will be a fantastic club.

“We’re getting a lot of Indian and Sri Lankan people because they’re moving into the area, and that’s great.

“It’s a club for everybody.

“These aren’t our courts - they’re the courts of the members. It’s their court we’re the caretakers for them.”

Lights, camera, action Cranbourne Bowls Club members Lesley and John Mulder were as proud as punch as the CBC officially switched on its lights for the very first time. Last Friday night was the start of social bowls under lights with everyone welcome, especially new bowlers looking to try out and have a bit of fun.

Cranny ascends

By RUSSELL BENNETT DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - TURF 1 REVIEW ROUND 2 CRANBOURNE v PARKFIELD WITH Parkfield entering day two on 1/14 chasing 172 for victory against Cranbourne, it’s fair to say the game was still well and truly in the balance.

But Cranbourne superstars Steve Spoljaric and Matt Chasemore had other ideas - removing Hemantha Jayasundera (3) and Brad Baptist (14) early on day two to put the visitors squarely on to the back foot. From there, Parkfield was unable to recover - despite a trio of middleorder starts from Nilochana Perera (25), Travis D’Souza and skipper Shane Bell (34 not out) - and was rolled for 116.

From top to bottom, Cranbourne’s attack was at its miserly best - with Spoljaric conceding just a run an over, finishing with 2/20 from 20 overs (including 11 maidens). Chasemore also conceded little more than a run an over, but it was Cameron Dinger who had the Midas touch. He was lethal through the middle and lower orders, finishing with 4/29 from his 16 overs.

DANDENONG WEST v BUCKLEY RIDGES Despite a pair of stoic half-centuries - to skipper Matt Sofoulis (73) and Anthony Brannan (55) - the West (185) was no match for Buckley Ridges at Greaves Reserve.

After winning the toss and electing to bat on day one, Buckley amassed 9/278 from their 80 overs with Paul Rudd (81) leading the way from the top of the order.

And after slumping to 2/11, the West’s battle became even tougher on Saturday. Sofoulis and Brannan really dug their heels in, but it wasn’t enough as a steady stream of wickets fell around them. Rajpal Dhillon (18) and Clayton McCartney (15) were the only other batsmen from the West to reach double figures, while Hussain Ali led the ridges attack with 3/15 from 12 overs. Westley Nicholas (2/38), Susantha Pradeep (2/31) and Lukas Hoogenboom (2/47) finished with two scalps apiece.

SPRINGVALE SOUTH v HALLAM KALORA PARK The Hallam boys put up a much bet-

Justin Davis desperately tries to prevent a boundary in Heinz Southern District’s clash with Narre Warren. 145682 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS ter fight on day two against Springvale South, batting their way out of any prospect of outright defeat.

After winning the toss and electing to bat on day one at Alex Nelson Reserve, the visitors were rolled for just 102 with Jarrod Armitage taking a stellar 5/57.

South then stormed past their total and finished the first day’s play on 7/194, but their lower order and tail were skittled early on day two as the side was dismissed for 202. Jordan Hammond took 4/36, while Will Whyte finished with 3/27.

Then, in his side’s second innings, Hallam opener Jagveer Hayer stepped right up to the plate with a superb unbeaten 100 not out. He combined with Tyrone Barnes (51) for a 131-run second wicket stand as their side finished on 2/185. Springvale South secured first innings points.

NORTH DANDENONG v LYNDALE The boys from North Dandenong achieved what Springvale South couldn’t - recording an impressive outright win on day two of their clash at Lois Twohig Reserve.

After steamrolling through Lyndale for just 104 on day one, Dandy North declared 50 overs into their reply on 6/192 with Uzair Qureshi (51 not out), and skipper Nasrat Malikzada (49) leading the charge.

As poor as Lyndale’s batsmen performed in their first innings, things went from bad to worse in the second - dismissed for just 89 with skipper Ciaron Connolly (22) the only batsman to pass 20 as Michael De Kauwe was on his rampaging best with 6/21 to go along with his 2/7 in the first innings. North (0/4) only needed to bat for little more than an over in their second innings to secure an outright win.

MORDIALLOC v BERWICK If ever the Bears middle and lower order needed to stand up and be counted, it was on Saturday against the home side Mordialloc at Ben Kavanagh Reserve.

Berwick was in all sorts of strife at 4/50 heading into day two, despite chasing just 150 for victory.

But after at one stage falling to 4/24, they recovered to 5/111 - well and truly back on track for victory. They were ultimately dismissed for 163 in the 77th over with Ryan Crawford (53), Jack Williams (39), and skipper Jarrod Goodes (30) leading the fight-back. Incredibly, they were the only three Berwick batsmen to reach double figures.

NARRE WARREN v HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTRICTS Last week set the scene for a fascinating battle between Narre Warren and HSD, and day two lived up to expectations. Needing 176 to knock off the home side at Sweeney Reserve, HSD slipped to 3/55 before a steadying partnership between opener Brad Downe (30) and skipper Matt Cox (17). Michael Davies (26), Justin Davis (61) and wicket-keeper Rob Davies (14) then combined for some invaluable middle and lower order runs to steer the visitors home and finish on 9/204. Jarryd Straker led the way for the Narre attack with 3/49, while Atishsinh Chouhan and Chris Edwards each finished with 2/28.

Casey-South Melbourne opener James Seymour has made 252 runs for the season after scoring 27 against StKilda on Friday.

Right royal thrashing

By DAVID NAGEL PREMIER CRICKET REVIEW ROUND 5 THE bright lights of Bendigo’s Queen Elizabeth Oval have failed to spark Casey-South Melbourne’s season to life, the Swans (181) going down to St Kilda (2/185) by eight wickets in Friday night’s one-dayer.

Victorian Premier Cricket went on its Bush Bash for round five, with games being played in Bendigo, Wangaratta, Port Fairy, Bairnsdale, Swan Hill, Dunkeld, Maryborough, Yarrawonga and Kyabram.

At the end of the round, with the defeats of Melbourne and Prahran, every team has now suffered a loss.

The Swans once again relied on a precious too few, with Kasun Suriaratchie (91) dominating with the bat, while his opening partner James Seymour (27) and low-order commodity Nathan Lambden (20) were the only others to sneak through the teens.

Suriaratchie now leads the competition batting aggregate with 370 runs, Seymour is fourth on the list with 252 ... but the Swans next best is a staggeringly low 67 runs from five matches.

It’s obvious where the improvement needs to come from.

Josh Drummond (4/34) and son-of-a-gun Lachlan Graf (2/31) were the best of the Saints’ bowlers.

Lambden (2/31 off 9) gave the Swans some early hope but a brilliant unbeaten partnership between opener Harry Michelmore (110 not out) and former state player Graeme Rummans (63 not out) took the wind out of the Swans’ sails.

Michelmore hit eight fours and gave the Bendigo faithful some real entertainment with five towering sixes to boot.

The Swans first two-day contest of the season will begin this Saturday against Footscray-Edgewater at Casey Fields.

The first ball will be bowled at 11am.

ROUND 5 LADDER: FitzroyDoncaster 19, Camberwell 17, Melbourne 17, Prahran 17, Ringwood 17, Dandenong 14, Monash Tigers 14, Footscray-Edgewater 14, Northcote 13, St Kilda 12, Frankston Peninsula 12, Melbourne Uni 9, Essendon 8, Geelong 5, Carlton 4, Kingston-Hawthorn 4, Greenvale Kangaroos 0, Casey-South Melbourne 0.

Honouring their lost mate PAUL Redpath is gone before his time, but he’ll never be forgotten.

A former premiership player at what is now the Cardinia Cricket Club, Paul died suddenly in Townsville in early August.

On Saturday, a group of his mates converged on E. Gunton Oval to pay tribute to a great man.

“I’ve been around the club for 35 years, and Paul was here

back then when I got together with David,” said Lis Webster, the wife of David - a great mate of Paul’s.

“He was a big part of the club - he was a committee member, he was part of the first flag that the club won under the name of Rythdale, and he was around here for quite a long time before he relocated up to Townsville and spent the rest of his life up there with his boys.

Unfortunately he passed away

suddenly in August.

“That was a big shock. The boys kept in contact with him and he’d only been speaking with David a few weeks before he died.”

Paul’s mates at the Bulls had spoken about having a gettogether at the club in his honour, and Saturday - day one of Cardinia’s grand final rematch with Kooweerup - was that day.

Nicely played, boys.

One champion Bull leads the charge

By DAVID NAGEL CARDINIA’S champion all-rounder Neil Barfuss joined an exclusive group on Saturday as he led the Bulls into a powerful position against reigning back-to-back premiers Kooweerup.

Barfuss made an initially patient, then hard-hitting 75 to lead the Bulls to 8/257 at the close of play. Along the way he became just the fifth player to burst through the 2500-run barrier since the restructure of the West Gippsland Premier competition for the 2009/10 season.

‘Barf’ joins Pakenham’s Chris Smith (3095), Kooweerup pair Chris O’Hara (3089) and Michael Giles (2997), and Tooradin-gun Tom Hussey (2552) on the most exclusive of lists.

His all-round quality is highlighted by being second on the list of wicket-takers, with Tooradin star Cal O’Hare (145) the only bowler to have taken more than his 134 scalps.

The grand final re-match at Gunton Oval proved to be a real armwrestle with the efforts of Barfuss and in-form opener Alex Nooy (61) being capitalised on by Luke Turner (30) and Josh Browne (26) late in the day.

Spinners Tim Miller (3/59) and

Pakenham’s Russell Lehman was in red-hot form against Emerald on Saturday, taking 2/12 and being 49 not out at the close of play.

145977 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Jake Bardwell (3/84) fared best for the Demons while Jess Mathers (2/25) impressed with his early spell.

Tooradin (0/63) is well on the way to its third victory on the trot after Dylan Sutton (5/35) caused Merinda Park (134) some serious headaches at Donnelly Reserve.

The seamer took the crucial

wicket of Anthony Craddock (10) early before returning to tear through the Cobras’ lower-order.

Sutton took the last four wickets to fall, including dangerous commodities like Danny Diwell (24) and Jamie Smith (22) to snuff out any hopes of a home-side revival.

Aaron Avery (2/16) and Tim Lenders (2/19) provided Sutton with

support before Josh Lownds (35 not out) and Tom Hussey (25 not out) completed a great day for the visitors.

It’s as clear as the nose on a face ... Cranbourne Meadows (39) is in for one long-hot summer after succumbing meekly on its trip to Upper Beaconsfield (7/209).

The Maroons sliced and diced their way through the Rebels lineup, with Tommy Tyrrell (3/8) and Scott Pitcher (3/15) making sure not one individual made double figures.

Bathiya Perera (78), Jack McHale (41) and Rob North (40) then rubbed some salt into the wound. Geoff Bradshaw (5/42) stood out like a beacon for the Rebels who will need to dig deep to avoid outright victory.

Pakenham (0/85) continues to impress, the Lions set to make it four from four after a rampant day at the office against Emerald (140) at Toomuc Reserve.

Jack Ryan (4/45), Russ Lehman (2/12) and Dom Paynter (2/14) were sensational for the Lions who found their main stumbling block to be opener Mark Alenson (55).

Lehman (49 not out) and Chris Smith (33 not out) will have their sights set on big centuries when play resumes at 1pm this Saturday.

Hodge calls in for a quick game Casey wins netball honours

By JARROD MCALEESE

By DAVID NAGEL

CURRENT Adelaide Striker and former Australian and Victorian star Brad Hodge made a return to local cricket for Berwick as they trounced Fountain Gate in the opening round of the DDCA’s Twenty 20 competition.

Hodge amassed 17,000 first class runs including 52 centuries at an average over 50 including a test double-century against South Africa.

Though not quite Lords or the MCG, Arch Brown Reserve conjured up a festive atmosphere, with over 500 people turning out.

And they weren’t made to wait as the Bears won the toss and elected to bat, with Hodge opening alongside former Bushrangers teammate and current Berwick player Nathan Pilon.

It was Pilon who provided the fireworks in a partnership worth 89 as he crunched 75 from 36 balls. Hodge played a cameo role, reaching 23 before misjudging a ball and losing his off stump without offering a shot.

Berwick finished on 4/180 from their 20 overs and made light work of their opposition, skittling the Gators for 76 with Adam Watson snaring 4/12.

Hodge joined in the postmatch celebrations, remaining at the ground to sign autographs, pose for photos and chat with kids, parents, players and members.

Prior to his Big Bash commitments Hodge will turn out for East Sandringham in grade cricket.

CASEY Netball Association (CNA) has emerged as one of the big winners from the 2015 Netball Victoria Community Netball Awards held at the RACV Club in Melbourne on Saturday night.

CNA took out one of the major awards up for grabs, being named the Outstanding Association of the Year.

Netball communities from across the state celebrated at the gala awards ceremony, an evening that recognises the outstanding contributions of individuals and groups, volunteers and community members, who on a regular basis go above and beyond the call of duty.

Long-time president of the Casey Netball Association and now chairperson of the newlyformed board, Sue Booth, said the gong was just reward for the hard work of many.

“I’m very proud and very happy for the dedicated band of volunteers who have made our association what it is today.” Booth said.

“It’s not a large group, but a very dedicated group, and it’s just amazing for our association to be recognised in this way.”

Casey Netball Association has well over 3,000 members with more than 400 teams participating in competitions delivered year round at the Casey Indoor Leisure Centre. This number includes 120 open ladies teams on a Monday night alone, 45 mixed teams and 260 junior teams.

CNA currently has 10 representative squad teams all competing at Netball Victoria competitions and tournaments annually. The Association also supports developing coaches and umpires through several pathways, holding regular accreditation courses and delivering mentoring programs.

Booth, president of the association for 17 years, said it was impossible to explain how much netball had grown through the region and the opportunities that lay ahead.

“We’ve grown from 40 teams on a Monday night to well over 100 now and we have close to 500 netball teams in total,” Booth said.

“There is a redevelopment happening that will be completed next year that will increase the amount of netball courts from six to 10. Our Stra-

Brad Hodge even had a bowl on the Arch Brown Reserve turf.

A big crowd turned out to watch former Australian Test star Brad Hodge in action.

Casey Netball Association representatives Rebekah Bogos and Jade Heinrich accept the Netball Victoria Association of the Year Award. Picture: GRANT TREEBY tegic plan includes gaining a VNL license, and down the track having a stand-alone complex at Casey Fields.”

Booth wanted to thank Alison Kelly, Coordinator Community Sport at City of Casey, for her ongoing support, along with Casey Basketball and the YMCA with who CAN shares a threeway partnership.

Full-time administrator Debbie Schramm, secretary Rebekah Bogos and Development Officer Jade Heinrich were also quick to gain a mention.

Rotary’s golf day rules

By DAVID NAGEL IT’S time to warm up the shoulders and sharpen up the short game with the Cranbourne Rotary Club Golf Day only just around the corner.

The 49th edition of the annual event, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities and organisations around the region over the years, will this year take place at the beautiful and picturesque Ranfurlie Golf Club in Cranbourne on Friday 20 November, with a 1pm shotgun start.

This year’s event is an Ambrose tournament, so players of all skill levels can join in the fun and raise money to benefit local children.

The Cranbourne Rotary Club is excited to announce its major sponsor for this year’s event is property developer Dacland.

It promises to be an awesome day of fun and great golfing with funds being raised for Livvi’s Place - a local play-space for kids of all abilities. Livvi’s Place is a gift to the

community as a result of a partnership between the City of Casey and Touched By Olivia and is situated at the Marriott Waters Recreation Reserve, Boland Drive, Lyndhurst.

Rotary Club President Peter Sorensen said the new play-space was a great asset for the Cranbourne community.

“It’s really important all children have the opportunity to play outdoors and enjoy social interaction,” he said.

“That inclusiveness is very much part of what we stand for. This is a world-class facility and we’re delighted to contribute through our annual fund-raising golf day,” Peter said.

Golf Day Sponsor Dacland’s Managing Director, John Dwyer, believes access to open space is key to promoting healthy lifestyles. This will be reflected in the company’s new residential community in Cranbourne scheduled for launch early in 2016.

“Dacland creates communities

where all residents have access to open space or community amenity within one minute of their front door,” Mr Dwyer said.

“We are known for creating attractive, enduring communities with inviting streetscapes, abundant parklands and community amenity

where both kids and adults can get active. We’re very happy to support this local play-space and the opportunities it offers all children in the area,” he said.

Cranbourne win a nail-biter with skipper Doug CRANBOURNE BOWLS BRILLIANT bowling by skip Doug Boggie and his team of Maree Taylor, Hans Worstelling and Steve Bentley won the day with a margin of 11 shots which was just enough to defeat Keysborough by one shot in a close finish on a great day of bowling in front of anxious supporters from both clubs.

Meanwhile the ladies continued their winning streak in midweek bowls with a strong 46 shot victory against Waverley Golf.

Previously undefeated Cranbourne 2 side playing in Division 3 went down by one shot against Waverley Golf on Saturday.

Barbara Fulton and her team of Maree Taylor, Irene Shaw and Brenda De Lisle won by 20 shots to help crush Waverley Golf by a massive 46 shots and continue the winning run.

Cranbourne 1, winning by 1 shot, was an inspirational win by a side that is performing well but needed this win under its belt to set itself up for a good season of bowls.

Saturday Pennant side 2 suffered its first defeat for the season, losing by just 1 shot against Waverley Golf despite a great performance by Matt Boltong and his team of (club legend) Ray Boskell, Kathy Dudink and Lyn Whalley winning by 20 shots.

Sides 3 and 4 still have not had

much luck both losing again this week.

The Peugeot 308 GT combines comfort with performance.

Peugeot hatches a winner

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE Peugeot 308 is the mid-sized model in the French marque’s Australian range.

The latest, all-new, model arrived in Australia in September 2014 with the semi-performance GT variant following in February 2015.

Peugeot Australia is at pains to avoid tagging the 308 GT as a hot hatch, no doubt because its high-performance big brother 308 GTi is due here early next year and looks set to shirtfront the market-leading Golf GTI. Instead the 308 GT sits around the middle of the performance band, an all-rounder aimed at those looking for a comfortable weekday commuter that can also be let loose for an enjoyable weekend spin.

In line with its relatively conservative clientele, the styling of Peugeots isn’t as radical as French compatriots such as Renault or Citroen.

Nevertheless there’s still plenty of flair to the latest 308 range with a clever design that looks sleek without compromising cabin space.

The front of the car follows the latest Peugeot theme with the upper grille flowing out to the headlights and back to the sculpted bonnet.

At the side there are prominent swage lines that run from just behind the front wheels to the taillights.

The rear lights flow forward at their

upper and lower edges.

Among the enhancements the GT receives over the standard 308 models are lowered suspension, subtle skirts-and-spoiler, larger (18-inch) alloy wheels, chrome highlights on the grille, foglight surrounds and window frames, GT badges and a new GT-only Magnetic Blue colour choice.

The LED headlights look great at night, while the turn indicators scroll rather than blink - a neat touch.

The interior features sports seats and trim, red-stitching, aluminium highlights, LED interior mood lighting, and sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel.

All seats are spacious and comfortable with plenty of rear legroom.

Two turbocharged engines are available in the 308 GT, a 1.6-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel.

The latter might seem a bid odd to many Australians who, given our general lack of interest in diesel passenger cars, don’t associate them with sporty performance.

They should do, because access big to torque is one of the turbo-diesel basics.

Although the petrol engine has more power (151 kW) than the diesel (133 kW) the position is reversed with the diesel getting an impressive 400 Nm compared to the still useful 285 Nm from the petrol.

Fuel consumption is listed at 5.6

litres per 100 kilometres with the petrol engine and 4.0 L/100 km with the diesel. In our test of the diesel GT we averaged 5.7 L/100 km (4.6 on the motorway and 6.9 in the suburbs) which is a lot higher than the official numbers.

Transmission options are limited.

The petrol GT gets a six-speed manual, the diesel a six-speed auto with steering wheel mounted paddles.

There’s a high level of standard safety equipment including six airbags, traction and stability control, ABS brakes with emergency brake assist and brake force distribution, blind spot monitoring, collision alert with auto braking, hill start assist, rear view camera and parking sensors, active cruise control, park assist, head-up instrument display, blind spot monitoring and automatic headlights and wipers.

The infotainment system displays on a 9.7-inch touchscreen with a welldesigned and logical layout.

It also allows for most of the car’s functions to be operated from the screen and so almost eliminates the need to switch back and forwards between other buttons and knobs.

Not only does it present a nice clean centre console but, more importantly, reduces distraction time.

There’s a 6.9 Gb jukebox with sixspeaker sound, speed-related volume controls, satellite navigation, easy Bluetooth pairing and a pair of USB sockets.

Peugeot’s reputation for outstanding ride and handing has slipped over the past decade since the departure of the excellent 306 so keen drivers will be delighted to hear that normal service has resumed in the form of the 308 GT. Chassis and suspension changes in the GT from the standard 308 models include lower ride height at the front (7mm) and rear (10mm) as well as between 10 and 20 percent stiffer spring and damper rates depending on the drivetrain.

The tweaks do their job well with steering that is well-weighted, direct and communicative in normal mode and even more responsive when the Sport option is selected.

Around town the ride is comfortable and it's an impressively quiet, composed and capable car.

Once clear of the suburbs the diesel edition has sharp acceleration and can be hustled through corners at pretty decent speeds.

Keep within your driving limits and you’ll have great fun.

Go beyond them and one or other of the car’s safety systems should step in and get you out of trouble.

Keep in mind that physics always wins in the end.

The Aisin six-speed automatic is impressively smooth in normal mode, noticeably sharper in Sport mode.

As the years roll by comfort climbs

Model range 308 GT 1.6-litre turbo-petrol five-door hatch: $41,990 (manual) 308 GT 2.0-litre turbo-diesel five-door hatch: $42,990 (automatic)

ever higher in the priority list for our ideal car.

Unfortunately that usually means a performance trade-off; but every now and then a car comes along that ticks both the comfort and performance boxes.

The Peugeot 308 GT is such a car.

A sophisticated, well-equipped French hatch it has enough interior space to cover big Australian distances on both motorways and back roads.

Its $40,000-plus price tag may look like a deterrent but its high spec level includes many features that will be options elsewhere.

If you’re looking for serious performance then it may pay to be patient and test out the upcoming GTi. The GT will still be around as a fallback option.

7 SEAT SENSATION!

By EWAN KENNEDY BASED on the recently launched Toyota HiLux pick-up truck, the all-new Toyota Fortuner shares many of its bodyon-chassis underpinnings and mechanical components, but has a seven-seat station wagon body.

For improved comfort it has a multi-link rear coil suspension unlike the HiLux which is set up as a working vehicle.

Though not generally known to Australians, the Fortuner name isn’t new for Toyota, the first Fortuner, also based on a HiLux pickup of the day, was introduced in 2005 as an Asiaonly workhorse.

It was a roaring success, many overseas tourists saw it and the Fortuner has since gone global.

While the new Fortuner could be considered a ‘grandson’ of the old Toyota 4Runner which was sold for many years in Australia.

All new Fortuners sold in Australia have a turbo-diesel.

Those who do want a petrol powerplant can choose the Toyota Kluger - or Toyota Prado or Toyota LandCruiser.

Toyota Fortuner has a bold frontal appearance with large foglight surrounds and a tall bonnet.

The body kicks up at the rear and carries the latest fashion of slim rear windows.

It has LED headlights and sits on 18-inch alloy wheels.

Stylish, with a dash of conservatism, Toyota’s all-new Fortuner is likely to remain timeless in its looks.

Toyota Fortuner is powered by a four-cylinder turbo-diesel 2.8-litre engine that produces 130 kW of power and 450 Nm of torque when in front of an automatic transmission, reduced to 420 with a manual.

The commercial vehicle roots of this engine are displayed by the fact that maximum power is generated at just 3400 rpm.

Similarly, peak torque sits at 1600 to 2400 with the auto trans, and 1400 to 2600 with the manual gearbox.

In this day and age it’s likely most sales will be of the sixspeed automatic.

There’s a six-speed manual in all models.

An interesting six-speed manual that can rev match is

$35,990

* Registration and Compulsory Third Party Insurance are for 12 months only.

ALL NEW BT-50 HAS ARRIVED offered in the topline Fortuner Crusade model.

As a serious 4WD the Fortuner has a two-speed transfer case.

Shifts between 2H and 4H can be done on the fly at speeds up to 100 km/h.

The manual can tow up to 3000 kilograms, the auto’s ability is slightly lower at 2800kg.

As is often the way, Australian engineers did a considerably amount of work on the design of the coil-spring suspension used in the Fortuner.

Seven airbags are standard, with the curtain airbags covering the third row seats. Fortuner has achieved a five-star ANCAP rating.

An Australian-designed bullbar has been produced to work with the airbags during a collision.

This bullbar, as well as some other accessories, may be made in Australia and exported, thus keeping a little life in the once proud Australian car manufacturing industry when the three big boys pull up stumps on building complete vehicles.

We did some heavy-duty, low-range off-road testing on a tight track set out by Toyota on private land in the Wilpena Pound area and found its good clearance and angles worked with sophisticated traction controls, including uphill and downhill assist.

On sealed roads the Fortuner was far quieter than you would expect in a pickup-based wagon. Indeed, many crossover SUVs don’t do as will as this Toyota 4WD. Some sealed roads that had seen better days did create a rather jiggly ride at times during our extended drive program.

Yet other surfaces which looked just as bad created no such troubles.

There have to be a lot of compromises in 4WD on-road / off-road suspensions and the Fortuner showed a weakness

Model range GX: $47,990 (manual), $49,990 (automatic) GXL: $52,990 (manual), $54,990 (automatic) Crusade: $59,990 (manual), $61,990 (automatic) in this area.

Try for yourself during your pre-purchase test drive.

On the other hand new Fortuner rides beautifully on smooth to moderate sealed roads and will make an excellent long distance cruiser in the Australian outback.

We spent a couple of hours on a beautiful touring route in ancient off-road areas from Wilpena to Parachilna, along dried river beds that showed signs of serious flooding during the wet season, over very Australian red dirt roads, up winding trails with stunning scenery in all directions.

This is exactly the sort of land all Australian families should see at some time, preferably at the wheel of their own vehicle in the company of another vehicle in the company of good friends.

And we can think of no better way of doing it than in the all-new Toyota Fortuner.
