PEOPLE’S CHOICE Sponsor

Winner Village Way Cafe Finalists Dandy Mart Hampton Park SJD Homes Paul and Christina Sloothaak. 145662

Chef Jose Li in the kitchen. 145662

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.

Car MegaMart team members, back, Daryl, Paddy, Alex, Pete and Owen and, front, Ryan and Karlie. 145266 Picture: MEAGAN ROGERS On completion, Car MegaMart will display more than 1000 vehicles on 25 lots and the business park will house more than 80 complementary retail showrooms.

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

as soon as possible.”

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.

Last-ditch tree bid

By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM A LOCAL man is pleading with Melbourne Water to reconsider its decision to remove trees along Toomuc Creek.

Signage located at the edge of the creek states that Melbourne Water plans to remove non-native trees and weed species to “improve flood protection, habitat, amenity and water quality of Toomuc Creek.”

Ed Kirby is a member of the Cardinia Dog Group, who meet at the Toomuc Creek Dog Park on a daily basis.

While Melbourne Water hopes to improve vegetation and habitat along in the area, Mr Kirby says removing the trees may have the opposite effect, fearing it may cause the creek bank to collapse.

“It is evident to see today that during the last two floods the creek bank, where the trees had fallen, was severely damaged,” he said.

“Many of the root systems of the trees have been exposed, leading to the collapse of the creek wall.”

He added that removing the trees would have a similar effect and suggested an alternative may be allowing the trees holding the creek bank to die naturally and slowly replace them with native vegetation.

“If removing the trees along the creek bank is going to lead to further erosion of soil and the collapse walls of the creek wall, please rethink what you plan.”

The signage details that the works involve “the removal of extensive non-native species including the Monterey pines (Pinus Radiata), hawthorn, elms and poplars that are scattered throughout the site.”

Melbourne Water Waterways manager in the South East Greg Bain said the decision to remove the trees was made to improve the environment surrounding the creek.

“Melbourne Water is planning to improve habitat, amenity and water quality at Toomuc Creek by removing non-native trees and weed species along the creek and replacing them with 1300 native species.”

Ed Kirby is pleading with Melbourne Water not to cut down trees along Toomuc Creek. 146161 Yet Mr Kirby said while good in theory, the plan would fail in practice.

“If you look at the four trees they’ve planted this past winter in the park next to the football oval fence, they didn’t survive. They’re in really bad shape,” he said.

“You’re not going to put any trees in there which will grow.”

The trees were planted by Toomuc Valley Landcare Group earlier this year. A statement provided by Melbourne Water said the trees would complement the work of Landcare, and encour-

They also advise the public there will be some noise from the use of chainsaws and chippers during the removal, and that pedestrian access may be restricted. The tree removals are due to begin in November.

THREE local students have kept their cool and debated their way to a championship win.

Bella Barthelson, Paige Formaran and Bethanie Studd are in Year 8 at St Francis Xavier College’s Officer Campus.

In their first year of debating, the team has won the debating championship in the Southern Independent Schools competition, or SIS. Their first debate was held on 29 July at St Paul’s College, where the girls won both their prepared and secret topics.

The team next competed at St John Paul College on 26 August. They again won their prepared debate, making it through to the semi-finals, held on 10 September at Woodleigh.

A two-point win secured them a spot in the grand final. After an exceptional performance, they defeated Woodleigh by one point to claim the title.

St Francis Xavier College debating coach Leesa Gordon said she was proud of the girls’ efforts.

“No matter what topic they were given, they were able to research, write and deliver articulate speeches, rebut the arguments of the opposing teams and convince the adjudicators that their ideas were logical and realistic,” she said.

“Their debating skills have strengthened through SIS competition and it was a pleasure to coach them.”

BMX boost: tired tracks renewed

By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM RESTORATIONS to three Pakenham BMX tracks have recently been completed by Cardinia Shire Council.

Tracks located on Atkins Road and at the Homegarth and Gowler Street reserve all underwent renewal works, as well as a track at Greenland Court Reserve in Garfield.

The works were funded under the council’s capital works program, which allocated $25,000 to upgrade and repair local BMX tracks in 2015/16.

The council’s open space coordinator Kevin Alexander said council recognised the important role served by BMX tracks.

“The council is aware of the great benefits our open spaces provide the community and will

continue to ensure they are open to be used to their full capacity,” he said.

“Regular maintenance of bike paths, walking tracks and other recreation spaces will remain a priority for the council.”

The restorations mean that all 10 of Cardinia Shire’s BMX tracks have been renewed in the last year.

Restorations have recently been completed on three BMX tracks in Pakenham. 146008

Pushing the proximity to the limit

By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM CLOSE proximity to public transport is often touted as a real estate selling point, but a new Lakeside development featuring a front yard bus stop may be pushing the limit.

Less than two metres separates the front door of a Shearwater Drive unit from the stop, with the shelter obstructing the pathway from the street to the front door.

The unit is part of a multi-dwelling development nearing completion, yet Cardinia Shire Council says the issue had not been raised during the planning or building stages of the development.

Senior Traffic engineer Nicholas Charrett said council had received a request earlier this week for the bus stop to be moved.

“Cardinia Shire Council and Public Transport Victoria (PTV) were contacted earlier this week by a developer in relation to relocating a bus shelter in Shearwater Drive,” he said.

“The bus stop is currently located in front of a unit development in the final stages of completion.”

He added that the developer, PTV and council will all work to move the stop, which services route 926 to Fountain Gate Secondary College.

“Council’s traffic engineers and PTV officers are assisting the developer in relocating the shelter to allow access to the units,” Mr Charrett said.

“Council is continuing to work with PTV on determining a new location for the bus stop.”

Council did not respond to questions about whether the distance between the bus stop and the unit was in breach of any building or planning regulation.

Middle-aged horses fit for all courses

By ANEEKA SIMONIS A PAIR of 40-plus-year-old Pakenham horses may well have spent a life drinking from a trough of youth even though the average lifespan of horses is about 25 years.

And if PJ, 41, and Pippa, 40, could talk, it’s likely they would have plenty of questions thrown their way about their secrets to good health and longevity.

The horses live a pretty cushy life, with their loving owner of six years Amanda Adshead admitting the pair enjoy a regular dose of home-brewed probiotics.

The milk kefir concoction is just one health-driven supplement PJ and Pippa enjoy.

They also take turmeric for inflammation.

Though not known for maintaining good health in horses, roses have become a treat they manage to sneakily snack on from time to time.

For their recent milestone celebration, both PJ and Pippa proudly wore a birthday rosette on their bridles and posed for photos alongside Amanda who was also celebrating her birthday.

tos taken at the celebrations, it appears Pippa knows when she is in the spotlight - with several images showing her with her tongue poking out.

Her good humour is also mirrored in PJ who is known to give people a light nip on the backside on occasion.

In human years, the geriatric pair, who shared a carrot cake between them for their birthday, are estimated to be about 120 years of age.

Amanda’s 11-year-old son Caden Adhead said PJ was still fit

enough to ride.

“Sometimes, we ride PJ. I also brush them and cuddle them,” Caden said.

Amanda and her family took ownership of PJ and Pippa six years ago.

They are not related, however, Amanda believes they have lived together for more than 15 years.

“I feel blessed and grateful being the last link in the chain of owners who have all spoilt and cared for them,” Amanda said.

“They are part of the family and we all love them.”

HE’S the resident tech whiz and he’s 93 years old.

Nick Antrade is hooked up, linked in and online - he’s on Skype to his numerous relatives around the world daily and he loves listening to music on YouTube.

A former electrical engineer from Gippsland, Nick retired at the age of 65 and moved to the Fiddlers Green Retirement Village in Berwick, where he’s been for the past three years and where he calls himself the 24/7 consultant. “When someone’s television breaks down they knock on my door - I’m the fixer-upperer,�

Nick said.

His favourite websites to look up on his Aldi-bought Medion laptop are Google, YouTube, email and of course Facebook. “I don’t want Twitter - I’m not a gossiper,� Nick laughed, however Skype is what he uses the most. “On my laptop I Skype my daughter in Paris, nephew in Canada and sister in Vancouver, I email friends, we send jokes and discuss things. “The thing is, you can communicate - I use Facebook as well to chat,� Nick explained.

One of the oldest members of the Akoonah Park Men’s Shed in Berwick, Nick takes lessons in the shed’s computer room if he needs help but he’s got his scanner and GPS navigation system down pat. “I have a Fuji laser printer and a Brother printer because

Nick Antrade, 93, is a high-tech inspiration. 146064 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS the Fuji only prints, it doesn’t scan,� Nick said.

A whiz with his mobile phone, Nick said he only wanted his mobile for calling, texting and answering calls - “All the rest I can do on the laptop,� he said. “I’ve had an iPhone, Huawei Y6 and now I have a Samsung but I would recommend a Huawei, they are so easy to use and are 4G.�

Swapping his heavy duty licence because he was “fed up with the medical exams� Nick drives himself around with the help of his GPS. “The GPS is not a problem at all, I’ve still got my marbles and I still drive,� he said.

An Aldi advocate, Nick recommends the silverside, “It will

melt in your mouth� along with his Medion laptop - “Before I had an Acer.� “I have great faith in Aldi because they give you a 60-day return guarantee and people are conned into brands through TV commercials,� he said.

The odd one out at his retirement village, Nick admits he’s the only one that uses a mobile phone, printer, scanner, GPS and laptop computer. “They know I have a computer and the trouble is they come running to me to get help,� he said.

Nick uses and endorses Amaysim because they give a better deal than Telstra and his one tip is: “With the new trends coming in you have to keep up reading all the time.�

Art from their hearts

Capri Blinds

& Curtains

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

• Vertical Blinds

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

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.

PEOPLE themselves are to blame if they consume alcohol, drugs or gamble, yet they should not be solely blamed if the pressure to consume such products is encouraged by the advertising industry whose sole purpose is to promote such products to help us ‘weak willed’ people.

The government can help by legislating against the advertising of such products in a similar way as it has with tobacco.

No comment is needed as to how successful this has been in reducing tobacco consumption and improving people’s wellbeing, especially in respect to lung cancer.

I am writing in response to the article (Kids Opt Out Of Anthem, News Star Community, 21 October).

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.

Rules for one lot of Australians and made up rules for Muslims.

No wonder we are in such a mess.

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.

Casey Hospital maternity

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.

Shanagolden Village selling fast

The rotunda is in Pioneers Park.

Bill lives on

Are you considering downsizing, looking to form new friendships or just tired of mowing the lawns? Then be quick as this is your last chance to join the warm and inviting community at Shanagolden Village.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

▪ Priced from $299,000 and available now ▪ Spacious 2 & 3 bedroom villa units with secure garage ▪ Fully accredited aged care residence on site

A CASEY icon and Berwick stalwart has been immortalised after a popular rotunda was officially named in his honour this week.

The Bill Minns Rotunda, in Pioneers Park, was officially unveiled by the Casey Council on Wednesday 21 October, with mayor Mick Morland joining Berwick Rotary Club president Geoff Double to officially rename the structure and reveal its new plaque.

Cr Morland gave a heartfelt speech about his good friend Bill Minns, who has lived in Berwick his entire life, and is the only living charter member of the Rotary Club of Berwick,

started in 1961.

Bill, who also took over as Rotary president from 19691970, is the longest serving member of the club, having clocked up 55 years.

“Bill was an active committee member of the Berwick State School, volunteer firefighter and was instrumental in raising funds to build the ‘demo track’ at Akoonah Park,” Cr Morland said.

“Bill was also a member of the Berwick Progress Association, Berwick Village Chamber of Commerce, Berwick Football Club and Volunteer Defence Corps.”

The Bill Minns Rotunda can be visited at Pioneers Park, in Peel Street, Berwick.

NO LONGER dancing in her lounge room to James Blunt, Sophie Beaty, from Berwick, will be among the youngest dancers to join the Australian Ballet School (ABS).

Sophie, 12, has been training in pointe shoes for just over a year at Narre Warren’s Backstage Dance Academy and in her first audition for the ABS’s after school program Sophie landed much more than she had expected.

“They wanted to see more after my audition, which was really exciting,” Sophie said.

Blowing them away with her talent Sophie was asked to join the prestigious school permanently.

A dancer since the age of three the Beaconhills College Year 7 student will be leaving the school for the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) next year.

“By day I will be doing academic studies at VCA and then I’ll walk over to the ABS and do what I love,” Sophie said.

“Ballet is very disciplined but it’s always been my dream.

I’ve never said I don’t like this anymore, I’ve always said I want to be a prima ballerina when I grow up.”

Dancing from 4.30pm to just after 9pm three nights a week at her local dance academy Sophie also trains with the Melbourne City Youth Ballet all day on Sundays.

“I love doing it every day, I can just imagine myself dancing for the rest of my life - it’s what I want to do,” the rising star said.

Sophie will start at level four

Injured pet dies

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH 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.”

Mum Naomi Taguchi with daughters Ayana (17 months) and Soraya (3) with their injured family Dog Koji who died an hour after this photo was taken on Tuesday. 146154 Picture: ROB CAREW 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 hours in emergency at Casey Hospital and had Xrays 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’s community safety manager Caroline Bell said the investigations into the attack are “ongoing” and was unable to comment further.

Ammo found

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS 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

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.

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

when the alarm went off about 5.30am on Sunday.

It’s believed both incidents are linked.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com. au.

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

SEMMA executive officer Adrian Boden and president Simon Whiteley.

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.

Successful Journey on new track

By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM PAKENHAM Racing Club had a full dress rehearsal for one of its biggest meetings for the year at Racing.com Park on Thursday 15 October with the Brown’s Sawdust and Shavings Raceday.

With $365,000 in prizemoney up for grabs, it was no surprise to see some greats of the Australian turf descend on the nation’s newest racing facility.

Champion jockeys like Damien Oliver, Craig Williams, Blake Shinn, Brad Rawiller, Craig Newitt and Glen Boss joined star-trainers David Hayes, Darren Weir, Robbie Griffiths, Mark Kavanagh, Rob-

ert Smerdon and Mick Price on a day of real quality.

Warm weather made for perfect conditions both on the track and for those wishing to step out in the latest springtime fashion.

Racing honours went to jockey Michael Walker, who teamed up with Nigel Blackiston’s six-year-old gelding Desert Journey to score a length win in the $120,000 Browns Sawdust and Shavings Cup (2000m).

Walker gave the son of Desert King a gun run throughout, extricating himself from behind the leaders at the 200-metre mark to score a soft victory.

Scot t and Linda Brown from the Pearcedale-based Browns Sawdust and Shavings had their own taste of Spring Racing Carvnival success only days later when their horse Turn Me Loose won the Schweppes Crystal Mile, as part of the Cox Plate Day support card at Moonee Valley.

The PRC’s next meeting is one of its biggest for the year, with the Pakenham Gazette Oaks Day to be held next Thursday 5 November.

It is expected to be a great day - being staged during Melbourne Cup Week - and has all the glamour of Flemington, but without the huge crowds.

Fillies set for fields of fashion

By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM FASHION will flood the field at Pakenham Racing Club’s upcoming Oaks Day. The most popular race day on a busy calendar, the Pakenham Gazette Oaks is all about the ladies.

It will be held on Thursday 7 November - the same day as Victorian Racing Club’s Oaks.

Marquee packages, Fashions on the Field and live music will entertain racegoers and big screens will keep everyone up to date with all the action at Flemington.

Guests can enjoy the seven scheduled races from Pakenham Racing Club’s modern viewing areas and hospitality facilities.

Fashions on the Field is always a highlight of the Oaks, and with prizes valued at more than $12,000, this year promises to be no exception.

Entry to Fashions on the Field is open between 11am and 1pm on the day and the first 100 men and 100 women to enter will be accepted.

Heats will commence at 1pm and competitions include Lady of the Day, Mature Lady of the Day (40+), Best Dressed Gentlemen and Best Dressed Couple.

Guests will also have the opportunity to be photographed by a Star News Group photographer as they arrive.

All photos will be uploaded to a Best Dressed Category and assigned a code, which people can then use to vote for Best Dressed.

Voting can be done either using a coupon in the Pakenham Gazette or at www.facebook.com/ PakenhamBerwickGazette, and will take place between Friday 6 November and Friday 20 November.

General admission tickets and marquee packages are selling fast.

To purchase or for more information, visit www. pakenhamracing.com.au.

All types of Fords flock together 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.

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

The Rotarians put on a barbecue alongside other vendors.

A classic Ford owner parks their pride and joy.

TAPPING, grooving and shaking for the Make A Wish Foundation Narre Warren’s Backstage Dance Academy handed the children’s charity a cheque of $5500.

An annual concert fund-raiser, ‘Dance Aid’ included acts from 17 different dance studios from across Melbourne.

Academy owner Jess Soliman said the idea came to her as a way to give back to those children who can’t partake in dance lessons.

“We teach so many children and get involved with their siblings and families as well and to give back to children who are ill and don’t often get the same opportunities as other children is really rewarding,” Ms Soliman said.

Topping last year’s figure, Ms Soliman, 29, said she had performers aged seven to 18 entertaining on the Rivergum Performing Arts centre stage.

Pride of the Lions Two of the class allrounders in the West Gippsland Cricket Association have played key roles in Pakenham’s flying start to the season. Reigning WGCA Player of the Year Russell Lehman, left, and fellow opener Chris Smith have been in red-hot form leading the Lions to the top of the Premier Division table.

Lehman (49 not out) and Smith (33 not out) will be looking for huge scores when the Lions resume on 0/85 against Emerald at Toomuc Reserve on Saturday.

Hard-fought win to Pumas

By RUSSELL BENNETT THE Pakenham Pumas recorded a thrilling win over Chelsea away from home on Sunday afternoon.

The Baseball Victoria Summer League Division 3 fixture was a high-scoring slugfest, with a whopping 33 runs scored in total.

The Pumas came away with an 18-15 triumph and currently sit fourth on the seven-team Division 3 ladder with two wins and two losses from the first four games on their calendar.

Pumas coach Shaun Fahy said there was a howling breeze blowing towards the outfield, which was conducive to a big hitting, high-scoring contest.

With James Mills missing the clash with an ankle issue, Traralgon recruit Jay Ziersch stepped up to the plate as starting pitcher.

But these were hardly pitcher-friendly conditions. Offenisvely, a Travis Hough grand-slam was one of a string of highlights for the Pumas

with Wayne Porter also continuing his hitting streak.

Despite the conditions and the high-scoring result, Fahy said he was pleased with his side’s defense.

“We played well,” he said.

“Because we changed pitchers we re-aligned our defense and it was really important we continued to do the little things right, which we did.”

Fahy said John Beech was a standout on second base, while Porter and newcomer Andrew Parker again stood tall.

“Our motto is just to do the basics well, and everyone is doing something for the team,” Fahy said.

Pakenham has a bye this week before hosting Chelsea in the return leg at Pakenham on 4 November from 6pm.

Fahy said the side’s goal for that clash was to keep its defense “as solid as possible”.

“Our main focus is that when outs are presented to us, we have to take them,” he added.

Deja vu for Diamonds

By DAVID NAGEL THERE was a touch of deja vu to the end of the Berwick Diamonds 2015 Gridiron Victoria Women’s season at Ranger Field on Saturday.

The Northern Lady Raiders, who ended the Diamonds’ 2014 campaign at the semi-final stage, have once again proved too hot to handle, downing the Diamonds 26-6 to progress to this Saturday’s Vic Women’s Bowl.

The Raiders will take on Geelong Buccaneers, who had a 22-16 victory over Croydon Rangers in the second semifinal.

The Diamonds were already in for a tough fight, with the Raiders finishing unbeaten at the top of the table while Alan Murphy’s team finished in fourth place with a 3-2 record.

But the assignment became even tougher after Murphy relinquished his role heading into the finals series due to fam-

ily commitments.

Lawrence Soso took over from Murphy; the Diamonds progressing to the semi-final stage with a hard-fought 28-18 win over Northern Raiders in last week’s final round of the season.

But the Raiders proved too strong, a combination of sturdy defence and an attacking flair that has not been quelled this season leading them to the precipice of this year’s title.

By RUSSELL BENNETT AS the young Berwick City Cougars continue to evolve from baseballing cubs into beasts, their grip on their competition gets tighter and tighter.

The Baseball Victoria Summer League Division 2 outfit achieved two impressive shutouts in Rounds 4 and 5 and their self-belief is starting to come on in leaps and bounds.

But young head coach Dan Betreen has made his troops fully aware of the hard work required to continue their winning ways.

Betreen’s support staff took the reins for the Cougars’ midweek Round 4 fixture against Bonbeach, given the early 6pm start at Cyril Molyneux Reserve.

And the side didn’t skip a beat, storming to a 9-0 victory.

The Cougars’ Hawaiian

international pitcher Eland Tsubata pitched five impressive innings, as the team’s camaraderie and ability to work as one unified side became increasingly obvious.

Betreen told the News that young Will Day, a left-handed power hitter, was also a real standout.

Then, following on from the midweek clash, the Cougars knocked off Port Melbourne 4-0.

“Port beat Moorabbin 9-1 so we knew it’d be a tough matchup,” Betreen said, again thrilled with the overall performance of his side.

Matt Chilcott pitched the first five innings in his first start of the year, while Mark Surtees stepped up in a relief role and JJ O’Connor pitched the closing ninth inning.

“There were probably 14 fly-balls for the game and our

defense and our communication out there were great,” Betreen said.

Chilcott was on a pitch count of 70 before Surtees hit the mound.

Next up for the Cougars will be Fitzroy on Sunday from 3.30pm.

“They’re a really experienced side, and there’s a bit of the unknown about them to us,” Betreen said.

“We’re aiming to keep it close.

“Our keys to the game are not trying to do too much, to stay in the moment, focus on us as a team, and to just play our natural game.”

With each win, that self-belief just continues to grow.

The Cougars are currently on top of the Division 2 ladder with four wins and a loss from their five games so far.

One Champion Bull

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 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

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.

Casey wins netball honours in awards

By DAVID NAGEL 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 newly-formed 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 Strategic 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 three-way partnership.

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

Silverbacks proud of standings THE Pakenham Silverbacks juniors finished an impressive fourth on the final standings of the 2015 Gridiron Victoria competition, despite going down 28-0 to the rampaging Melbourne Uni Lions in their last game of the season.

The Lions took all before them, going through the season undefeated, while Pakenham still finished ahead of the ledger with four wins and three losses.

The Silverbacks unearthed plenty of local, home-grown talent throughout the year that they hope will begin to fill the nucleus of the Pakenham senior side in the upcoming seasons.

The likes of Lee Belton, Tom Mclean, Jaxson Mahy, and Chevy Edwards are just some from the long list of young guns who’ve made their mark in the Silverbacks’ junior set-up.

There’s only a short turnaround before the next junior season kicks off in February 2016 - a conscious decision by Gridiron Victoria to capitalise on the peak interest in American football at that time, following the NFL’s showpiece event, Super Bowl 50.

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 Peugeot 308 GT combines comfort with performance.

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

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) 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.

How did this happen?? Again??? Christmas is only around the corner. It’s time to start thinking about gifts and school holidays... If you have a little girl or boy - your own or a relative’s - check out the bikes below. XDS, while new to the market in Australia, provide excellent bikes at a ridiculously good price point. Almost too good to refuse...

ike to encourage your child to ride?

Well, this XDS is exceptionally light, easy to use ,and importantly it looks great!

Kids often struggle with a heavy bike with big fat tyres that are great offroad, but resist rolling on the bike paths and paved surfaces that most kids ride on.

The Strike has some very appealing features for young children.

First, as I said before the bike is exceptionally light. The frame is made of X6 aluminium, made stronger, so that the frame can be made stronger while using less materials, resulting in a frame that is very light, yet stronger than similar, heavier frames.

Then, this frame is painted and baked, VR WKDW WKH ÂżQLVK QRW RQO\ ORRNV JUHDW EXW LV tough. So tough that it will resist scratching and even deterioration from being left out in the back \DUG 1RW WKDW RXU NLGV ZRXOG GR WKDW 7KH ÂżQLVK is available in 3 appealing colours for boys and 4 colours for girls.You can see for yourself, the bikes look great.

The gears use more expensive levers than is generally available on kids bikes. The result is a lighter action, that is much easier for small hands to manage. There are only 8 gears, but the range is ideal for most areas.

The advantages are simplicity, as there is only one shift lever to manage, less cost, and lighter weight. All important features.

The tyres are suitable for either paved or loose surfaces. They will roll well on bitumen, but are capable of being taken on rough tracks. Of course they are not as good as a fatter, heavier tyre for more serious off-road, but few kids really need that. If yours do, then the Strike 4.0 is a better choice.

There are a few basic items that rate a PHQWLRQ 7KH ELNH LV ÂżWWHG ZLWK D VWDQG $QG WKH saddle. It is so comfortable compared to many other brands. Byk is the only brand that can compare with this bike for lightweight and features.

T

hese days most bikes have suspension, at least 21 gears and are quite heavy. It’s not always what a young girl would prefer, its simply what the manufacturers think is desired.

Xds have gone against this trend, as have Byk and built some modelsl with younger kids in mind. This bike has an extra light frame, a good quality gear system with strong light wheels.

The emphasis is clearly on simplicicty and ease of riding. And it works. This bike simply rolls along easily, and it is light to lift, simple to manouver and very easy to pedal up hills or along the bike paths.

It is so light and easy the kids will love it.

Kids frames are usually made from FKHDSHU DOXPLQLXP ZKLFK LV ÂżQH LW LV PRUH WKDQ adequate for anything most kids will do. But it can

be a little heavy. These frames are made of higher quality aluminium, which makes a lighter frame that is just as strong.

The handlebars have lots of adjustment, so that you can raise them as your child grows, or, IRU OHVV FRÂżGHQW NLGV WKH KDQGOHEDUV FDQ EH NHSW relatively high, so that they can sit upright.

The tyres have less rolling resistance WKDQ WKRVH JHQHUDOO\ ÂżWWHG WR NLGV ELNHV MXVW WR KHOS them roll easier. Just makes it a little easier for the kids to keep up with stronger riders.

Paintwork is simple, just a high quality baked enamel,that appeals to kids(hopefully) and is ideal for those times our kids forget to put their bikes away. Not that your kids would do that!
