Janet Watts wants to see council erect simple decorations such as this one in Warragul, along Pakenham's main shopping strip.
The Pakenham CBD - without Christmas decorations. 165994
This is Grinch-mas By Bonny Burrows Cardinia Shire Council has been branded a “Grinch” after deciding not to display Christmas decorations in Pakenham’s CBD. This year will mark the second year in a row the council has not decorated the town in celebration of the festive season. Local resident Janet Watts says the “antiChristmas” behaviour has left her feeling a whole lot less jolly. “Walking down Pakenham last year, it did not feel like Christmas at all. It felt empty,” the Pakenham resident of 10 years said. “Again after not seeing any decorations this year, I thought enough is enough. That is why this story does need to told.”
Ms Watts approached the shire last year to question the lack of tinsel, only to be given “unacceptable” excuses - that there was no sub-committee to make this happen and that AusNet Services would charge $200 per pole for decorations. “I was told this then would have be on charge to ratepayers,” Ms Watts said. “Is this part of our rates? If they up the rates by a $1 to cover this, I am sure the ratepayers would be okay with this as the council should be giving something back to the community.” While not expecting the “council to go crazy,” Ms Watts said the shire should take cues from Baw Baw and Casey councils, which decorate the Warragul and Berwick townships each year with re-used decorations.
“It doesn’t have to be over the top, they just need to acknowledge it,” Ms Watts said. “Take a look at Warragul. (What they do) is pretty damn simple; they have old decorations they break out every year. It doesn’t need to be a big expense.” Ms Watts believes the simply measures would go a long way in spreading Christmas cheer. “I think it’s good for the community. It makes us feel happy, and Christmas is a time to celebrate the holidays,” Ms Watts said. Cardinia Shire Council general manager of planning and development Andrew Paxton said in previous years decorations along Main Street were co-ordinated by local retailers.

He said the council was willing to support and work with any business group that would like to decorate its retail precinct for the festive season. “(However,) as there is a large number of shopping precincts across Cardinia Shire, it would not be equitable to fund the decoration of only one of these precincts,” Mr Paxton said. The general manager said it wasn’t uncommon in other municipalities for traders to pay a levy to cover the cost of decorating their retail precinct. “However, Cardinia Shire Council does not have such an arrangement nor budget,” Mr Paxton said.

Every year they roll around, as regular as Christmas - you know who I’m talking about. Yep, it’s the ever-growing clan of Christmas grinches. A new one’s born every minute, and an old one dies every year. And I should know - I was one, back in the day. And it begs the question - do you grow out of, or into, being a grinch? As a younger man, I “bah, humbug"ged with the best of them. “Ho-frickin’ho" was another well-used classic. I decried the commercial face of Christmas. I sneered mightily at its alleged goodwill to all men. But now I have a little grey snow on the temples of my Christmas roof, I have put away my childish views. Every year can afford just a little time for merriment - a time in which we put away the calculator and leave our cares to one side for a while. So a council should be able to find, in its heart and in its coffers, a little love and a little cash to spread some Christmas joy on its main streets - and so should we all. And let me be cheeky enough to point out that we seem to find public time and space for just about every other “day" - up to and including International Groundhog Day - so a little love for the festive season from our council burghers shouldn’t go astray. The point is often made that we should be this way all year round - but I think maybe that’s asking a little much. So let’s focus on the joy of the festive season in this lucky country - and let’s do it with a smile in our hearts and some Christmas decorations in our streets. Let freedom ring! Jason Beck

Teens crash
An every day cause
A 14-year-old boy has allegedly crashed an out-of-control stolen car into a police divisional van and then a tree in Narre Warren. The Nissan Patrol had been stolen during an aggravated burglary in Narre Warren South on 20 November, police said. The following night, two teenage boys were allegedly in the out-of-control Nissan as it crashed into the police van out on routine patrols in Raven Crescent, Narre Warren. The uninjured police officers were unable to follow the vehicle due to the damage to the van. The Nissan was found soon afterwards, having crashed into a tree on Monaro Drive. Two teenagers were arrested by police the next day.

Two arrested Cardinia residents from all walks of life marched in the Walk Against Family Violence. 175387 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS time to time,” he said. “My family would walk on eggshells around me, not knowing what mood I would be in from one moment to the next. “What I didn’t realise then is that my anger was a form of family violence. “We men are the champions of minimising what we do. There’s no excuse for abuse.” Also in attendance was Boonwurrung elder Aunty Carolyn Briggs, who was quick to point out that although the guest speakers on the day were powerful, they were “preaching to the converted”. “They’re talking to a crowd of people who are already taking action to prevent and elimi-
nate family violence,” she said. “It’s those who aren’t here who need to be hearing this message.” While these events were a step in the right direction, it was important to take this issue out into everyday life. “Speak out for all genders, in the workplace, the football clubs, the sporting fields, the local hotel, wherever you are,” MC and Bass MP Brian Paynter said. “The message is simple: respect everybody regardless of gender, look out for each other and build healthy and respectful relationships to make our community a safe and enjoyable place to live.”

Aldi re-opens Aldi Fountain Gate will close temporarily from Sunday 26 November and will reopen on Thursday 7 December for a comprehensive store upgrade. Many of the improvements have been implemented following extensive store trials and Aldi’s state-wide rollout of the new format in South and Western Australia. New features include redesigned shelving, expanded wooden produce bays, as well as extended energy efficient chillers. As energy management remains a key priority for Aldi, the store has energy efficient LED lighting. There will also be new point-of-sale displays and store signage. “We’re excited to be undertaking these upgrades and welcome the community to visit our new store from Thursday 7 December and share their feedback about the store experience," an Aldi spokesperson said. While Fountain Gate closes temporarily, shoppers can visit Aldi Hampton Park.

Two men have been arrested during raids by Echo Taskforce detectives in Melbourne’s South-East. Detectives executed search warrants in Huon Park Road, Cranbourne North, and Channelle Close, Hampton Park, early on 23 November. The raids were part of an investigation into an alleged extortion of a 21-year-old Sandhurst man by associates of the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang, police say. He was allegedly threatened and forced to make payments as part of a dispute involving a stolen motorcycle. The black 2016 Harley Davidson V Rod with gold trim has yet to be recovered. A 24-year-old Cranbourne North man and a 24-year-old Hampton Park man were arrested during the raids. Police also allegedly seized a number of items of stolen property.

White Ribbon Day has to be in our hearts every day of the year - not just for one day’s walking. While there was an impressive local turnout this year, event co-ordinator Fiona Cost points out that Cardinia’s annual Walk Against Violence can’t be forgotten the minute it’s over. “It’s by no means the only day where people can come together to change the culture of violence in our shire.” The stark reality is that family violence happens every day of the year. Last year, about four incidents of family violence were recorded per calendar day in the Cardinia Shire. The shire also had the second highest rate (per 100,000 population) of recorded family incidents in the Southern Metropolitan Region according to the Cardinia Shire Council’s Family Violence Factsheet. “This stuff does happen and people need to speak out against it,” newly-elected mayor and White Ribbon Ambassador Collin Ross said. “The Cardinia Shire experiences high rates of family violence and we know that many people experience it in many ways that are not just physical. “Everyone in the community can play a part in the prevention of family violence to create a safe and peaceful community.” Hundreds of locals marched the streets of Pakenham to unite against family violence on Saturday 25 November. Among those was guest speaker David Nugent, a former perpetrator of family violence. Now a behaviour change specialist at Heavy METAL (Men’s Education Towards Anger and Life), Mr Nugent underscored the importance of men’s attitudes in the prevention of violence against women. “I never saw myself as a violent guy; I just thought I was a man who could get angry from

THE LOWDOWN Q&A
with Amy Planner, Company Director, Escapees Theatre Company
What is something people don’t know about you? Well that’s obviously a secret. How did you get first get involved in theatre? I was interested in doing costumes for the Escapees as it started when I was in Year 12 and I went along, got involved and the rest is history. I never thought I would direct a show let alone ever be on stage. What was your most memorable moment? Perhaps memorable for the wrong reasons, but my first time on stage scared me almost to death. It was incredibly intimidating and I remember wishing I could take it back at the time and hide away, but I am so glad I did it because I am still here 10 years later and have changed for the better. What theatre show would you most like to direct or perform in and why? I hope that one day we can do a full-on musical, with a live band and all the dancing and jazz hands that go with it. Something like The Book Of Mormon (from more recently) or maybe Rock of Ages, Hairspray - something big and loud. What is your favorite book? There are far too many to choose from, you’re talking to a bookworm here. Which six dinner quests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? Elvis Presley, Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Fallon, Bing Crosby, Laura Keen, Shonda Rhimes. What would your last meal be? Some sort of Mexican food and a very large margarita.
with my friends. I was quite studious but also loved the creative classes. I never like Drama though, which in hindsight is really odd. What has been your most embarrassing moment? Must have been erased from my fleeting memory.
Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS What is the best concert or production you have seen? This is too hard a question for a theatre lover. Some of the best include Book of Mormon, All Shook Up, Rock of Ages, Anything Goes, Aladdin, Rocky Horror, Phantom of the Opera. Not to mention all the concerts!

Men urged to stand up By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey’s deplorable family violence rate won’t turn around without men challenging other men, says a leading child-safety advocate. Bernie Geary, the state’s former children's commissioner, spoke at City of Casey’s first public White Ribbon Day event at Bunjil Place on 24 November. “People tend to think it’s a day of acknowledgment around women but it’s a strong message for men. “My message is, challenge men to challenge each other in relation to their actions and their language.” It’s a hard thing to counter an “entrenched culture” at a sports club or a workplace, rather than “let it through to the keeper”. “If all the men in Casey decided in the next month they would challenge it ... it would really have an impact.” Mr Geary told Star News that family violence was unfortunately a “very Australian culture”. It had to be tackled at the grass-roots, not just by tiers of government. “It’s not about badges and hats. Men have to take responsibility.” Casey has a higher family violence rate per capita than the Victorian average. In raw figures, it is consistently the highest in the state. There are 12 family violence incidents in Casey every day - 4369 a year. Deputy mayor Amanda Stapledon told the White Ribbon Day audience that there wasn’t an “easy fix”. “The issue is generational, it is across all ages, cultures and ethnicities, and we as a community must confront it head-on. “Today is about calling out sexist behaviour. It is about ensuring that men who want to commit acts of violence against women do not feel validated or supported by other men. “It’s also about supporting those who experience violence, including young people, who through no fault of their own, are damaged by the acts of family violence.” Other speakers Leigh Kennedy and AFLW player Karen Paxman were from Ladder an AFL program to break the cycle of youth homelessness. The council endorsed a family violence prevention strategy and a three-year action plan on 21 November. It will be implemented by the council’s first family-violence prevention officer. The strategy includes a survey of community attitudes, youth-led forums, promoting more men as White Ribbon Ambassadors and working more with faith leaders and first-time parents.

The recent case of Nolene Nolan from Hampton Park (“Living in fear", Berwick Star News, 23 November), shows that the Victorian Parliament needs to urgently review the law and expand the legislative powers of the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal (VOCAT). It must financially compensate victims of crime for psychological harm; other than just for basic expenses and counselling services. Many reports about crime show how the victims of crime are psychologically harmed by their experience. They are made to feel intimidated, insecure, depressed, unsafe and even suicidal. Consequently it is not uncommon for them to feel a need to withdraw from their normal daily life in the community. These symptoms mean that the individual’s confidence and psychological health have been compromised. It is a condition psychologists today call Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD). Post Trau-

I notice that the Webb Street area of Narre Warren is once again undergoing a council 'makeover’. Some years ago now I suggested to the then mayor, Sam Aziz, that in the interests of better traffic flow in the area, Malcolm Court should be made one-way only in from Webb Street to Sylvia Lane. By doing this, all traffic coming out of that area would then have to use Sylvia Lane and the Webb Street roundabout, which would surely be better than having traffic coming out of Malcolm Court. Malcolm Court is after all, barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass, without considering the parking allowed on the north side of it outside the chemist. Do it once and do it properly.

matic Stress Disorder can last for a month, three months, one year or even more in some cases. Unfortunately suffering from PTSD does not immediately qualify a victim of crime for financial compensation. Although a victim of crime may be compensated for other costs, or provided, with free counselling services by VOCAT. I believe this is totally inadequate. It's time the Victorian government recognised the psychological impact crime has on the victims confidence and behavior. Victims of crime should be entitled to be paid 80 per cent of their minimum wage, like any victims of road trauma, for up to one year to help them recover from their traumatic experience. A person’s psychological health is no less important than their physical fitness. John Glazebrook, Endeavour Hills.

Most likely I had it set to “P" and negative three on exposure, adding “they were pretty lucky shots.”

Lights lost as storms hit By Cam Lucadou-Wells A traffic light signal has gone adrift in flood waters and come to rest under a parked car as a result of an intense hailstorm in Berwick on 25 November. A short, spectacular burst of gales, rain and hail caused a “six-inch deep” river of debris, including the green traffic light, to run down Moondarra Drive about 5pm, resident Monica Spiteri said. She tracked down where the green traffic
light belonged - two corners and more than 200 metres away at the major intersection of Clyde and Greaves roads. The missing signal had yet to be replaced two days later, Ms Spiteri said. Fortunately there was no other sign of damage from Ms Spiteri’s vantage point inside her home. “I enjoyed the storm. “All the neighbours came out to congregate - it was a good way to catch up.”
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, about 30 millimetres fell in 21 minutes during the localised storm. Berwick was by far the most storm-wracked suburb in the state during that 48-hour period, an SES spokesman said. Narre Warren SES unit was the busiest in the state, responding to 168 call-outs on the weekend. Some 133 of those requests were in Berwick.

21 call-outs. “Most of those jobs were pretty standard there was quite a bit of damage due to trees down on roads and homes,” the SES spokesman said. There were also reports of buildings damaged by flooded gutters as well as water seeping inside home walls. No significant rescues were conducted. Meanwhile, the BOM is predicting a similar pattern of a hot-spell followed by storms to strike greater Melbourne later this week.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… Mystery millionaire The owner of a $2 million-plus winning TattsLotto ticket bought from a Berwick outlet six months ago has yet to claim their prize. The ticket for draw 3743 on 3 June 2017 had been bought at Berwick Village Lotto. A Tatts spokeswoman said the winner was unknown because the ticket had not been registered to a Tatts card. “We are eager to unite them with their $2 million prize before the (3 December) deadline. “Imagine discovering you are a multi-millionaire right before Christmas. It would certainly change your plans for the festive season and New Year.” The winning numbers for the draw were 21, 32, 35, 9, 30 and 27 with supps 20 and 31.
Casey Philharmonic Orchestra plays its second-ever concert since forming in May.
Bunjil hosts soaring song A new ensemble of Casey-Cardinia’s finest classical musicians is set to land at Bunjil Place. The Casey Philharmonic Orchestra was formed in May to give professional and highlevel musicians a chance to perform close to home. Its Bunjil concert 'A New Age, A New World' will feature conductors Roy Theaker and Kent Ross, and soloist Anna Margolis. The orchestra will play works by Sibelius, Mozart, Elgar and Dvorak. It was exciting to see them bring “great music to life” in Casey, its president and founder
Belinda Bolger said. “I was so grateful to experience CPO’s first performance and be part of our new orchestral community.” There is also anticipation among the ensemble about playing in the world-class venue at Bunjil Place for the first time. The CPO has vacancies for dedicated musicians who can commit to four concerts a year. The concert A New Age, A New World is at Bunjil Place on 9 December, 7pm. Details: caseyphilharmonic@gmail.com or the orchestra’s Facebook page.
Bunjil Christmas Casey Council is set to unveil $100,000-plus of Christmas decorations at its “first Christmas party of the season” at Bunjil Place on Friday, 1 December. During the Very Merry Block Party, Casey Choir will sing carols and mayor Geoff Ablett will light up the new bespoke Christmas tree. Councillor Rosalie Crestani had moved a successful motion for more overt Christmas decorations at Bunjil and throughout the municipality. “I am delighted that Bunjil Place is now host to this wonderful nativity scene, which helps us to celebrate and recognise the true meaning of Christmas.” In June, council officers estimated the Christmas tree and life-size nativity scene would cost about $108,000. The council was also expected to add to the $76,000 annual spend on flags and banners around Casey. The festivities start at 5pm on 1 December, with the tree lit up at 7.30pm.
Tiger Time Richmond’s freshly-minted AFL Premiership cup visits Bunjil Place on Friday, 1 December.
The cup is at the Bunjil Place function centre, Patrick Northeast Drive, Narre Warren from 3-7pm. Players Jack Graham, Steve Morris and Ryan Garthwaite will share the premiership love from 4-6pm.
The heat is on The crowd at Casey’s first public White Ribbon Day event braved high temperatures to support a worthy cause. Without any shade, the audience in Bunjil Place’s outdoor plaza sweltered mid-day temperatures in the thirties on 24 November. Perhaps it’s time for Bunjil the Eagle to spread a shadecloth over the plaza for summer events?
Help me, Mum! A young woman got quite the shock when she rocked up a few hours late for her Dandenong Magistrates’ Court appearance. A friendly court clerk told her that due to her absence, there was a warrant out for her arrest. The woman whips out her mobile phone to make a call. Was it to her lawyer? Well, according to the caller ID on screen, her call was to ‘Mummy’.
Court out A man seemingly couldn’t even obey an intervention order while in a court building. The man pleaded guilty to chiding and deriding his ex-partner while their paths crossed inside Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. “Seriously ... what are you doing?” he told the victim. Then he barked at her and called her a “dog”. An unimpressed magistrate contemplated jail for the man due to “obvious public policy reasons”. “You’d think people would at least comply with these orders in the building. “An affected family member ought to come in this building and feel safe.”

Men’s Shed looking for a new home By Cam Lucadou-Wells

All-weather soccer
Lotto lost?
By Cam Lucadou-Wells Here’s a game-changer for local soccer - a $1.7 million synthetic-turf soccer field with lights at Gleneagles Secondary College, Endeavour Hills. The pitch is described as the first artificial soccer facility in Casey’s north, indeed on “this side” of Melbourne - a sorely needed pitch for students and up to a dozen soccer clubs to play and train. Its benefits are that it can be played in allweather, and does not need to close to resow and regenerate its turf. “It will get as much use as is possible,” says Casey councillor Rosalie Crestani. “My understanding is we need to provide more facilities to give the clubs in the area that extra training turf and playing field.” A handy soccer player at school level, Cr Crestani is still a big fan of the game. “It’s such a big, growing sport that we need to support it. “It might outgrow AFL one day.” The facility has been jointly funded by the State Government ($1.415 million), the school
A Narre Warren Men’s Shed is a fine idea - but without a home. The Rotary Club of Narre Warren is backed by Casey Council in its quest to find a longterm site to spread community cheer. Men’s Sheds are recognised as providing friendly hang-outs and hives of activity for its members. They educate as well as socialise and integrate. They also give a place of belonging for members who have been “transitioned” from the workforce. A feasibility study found a “high need” for such a hub in Narre Warren, Rotary branch president Mamad Amin said. “We need something to help elderly people, to reduce mental illness and suicide. “Plus it’s just good for the community to come together, work together and have a social interaction.” The closest sheds are in Cranbourne, Narre North, Endeavour Hills and Berwick. The project requires sponsorship, whether from Casey, the State Government or local businesses, Mr Amin said. Some of the proceeds from the club’s recent charity golf day are going towards the cause. Casey Council recently passed a motion for its officers to support Rotary “explore options” for establishing the Narre Warren Men’s Shed. A council report will be prepared by April 2018. To help, email secretary@rotarynarrewarren.org.au.

Pharell is one of hundreds of Gleneagles students looking forward to the new pitch.
($100,000) with the balance from Casey Council. Casey is also committed to managing the construction and long-term maintenance of the school and community joint-facility. Cr Crestani paid tribute to Gleneagles principal Sue Peddlesden, Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan and her former co-ward councillor Rafal Kaplon in helping kick along the cause for close to eight years.
Ms Peddlesden said the long lobbying effort began with an election pledge of $500,000 from the Brumby Government in 2010. It was a relief to replace the “paddock” with a purpose-built facility, she said. “We’re confident this turf will be able to withstand the use in the school day, after hours and on weekends for the next 10-15 years.” The project is expected to go to tender in January 2018, and be finished by July.

FRANK FACEY REAL ESTATE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS BACK TO THE FUTURE....... BACK in February this year we started a series of monthly editorials to highlight the major influencing factors in the success of Frank Facey Real Estate and the subsequent growth of First National Neilson Partners, First National Hall and Partners, Facey Industrial-Commercial and Parklea. We saw how the intuitive decision of Francis P. Facey in 1917 led to the purchase of his first real estate agency in Dandenong which, over the ensuing decades, expanded into Narre Warren, Endeavour Hills, Mulgrave, Berwick and Pakenham. Post-war Australia saw a boom in car ownerships and we went from horses and carts to helicopters and fast cars, internet technology and smart phones ... people now had the means and ability to move out further and take advantage of the beautiful countryside. The South-East grew in popularity as vast expanses of broadacre farmlands were transformed into thriving towns and cities with exciting shopping and entertainment precincts plus world-class medical and educational facilities. Frank P. Facey and his son Angus could have never imagined just how far the area would develop. He would, no doubt, be extremely proud of the positive impact which the company he started in 1917 has had on the ever-increasing development of the south-eastern corridor. Through challenging times and boom times, with careful management and the enthusiastic commitment of experienced
Nyall Greene, Todd McKenna, Allison Holzer, Ross Neilson and Peter Watson. and dedicated staff; the companies first started by Frank Facey succeeded beyond all expectation. Andrew Facey, the third generation in the family business, effectively led the company into the last half of the century and now heads Facey IndustrialCommercial and Parklea in Officer. Ross Neilson, Peter Watson, Todd McKenna, Nyall Greene and Allison Holzer, (all early recruits to the team with decades of experience), are now at the helm of First National Neilson Partners and continue to drive it successfully forward. Over the years, First National Neilson
Partners have been responsible for selling vast amounts of subdivisional land, residential and commercial properties, and have management of a large residential and commercial rent roll. They are totally committed to the progress of the district and with predictions being that the City of Casey will reach a population of 459,000 by 2036 and Cardinia will increase to over 175,500 by 2036, it’s abundantly clear that the next 100 years will be as productive as the last. Plans are well underway for the next office of First National Neilson Partners which will be opened in Officer. ●

BY THE LITTLE LAKESIDE SUPER AGENT. KATHY BURGSTAHLER of
Kathy Burgstahler has been running her own successful real estate agency since 2013. She is one of the first estate agents to do away with an office entirely and runs her business on a fully mobile basis, selling property all over Victoria. As a result of being such a trailblazer, she was featured on TV and in the global “Top Agent” Magazine as the featured Cover Agent for 2015. Being a sole trader and not restricted by franchise agreements, not only does she sell property everywhere BUT her client base is from everywhere as a result. And with NO office, she makes far greater use of the Internet including social media for her advertising. Despite being mobile, Kathy has been based in Lakeside Pakenham since 2008. She is the ONLY local real estate agent to have been President of the Lakeside Residents’ Group for 3 years, and the ONLY local real estate agent sitting on several community volunteer committees since 2008 because she is so passionate about Cardinia Shire and all it has to offer. It makes perfect sense that when arguably the BEST property in Lakeside was to go up for sale, who better to list it? Not only does Kathy know Lakeside like the back of her hand, but her mobile business meant that she has had lots of experience selling multimillion dollar properties in suburbs such as Glen Waverley, Box Hill, Blackburn South etc. For YEARS now, Kathy has been saying that Lakeside properties have been selling for less than they are worth. She proved that by achieving a record sales price for Lakeside with 29 Clearwater! Call Kathy now for an obligation free appraisal of YOUR Lakeside home or to list your house to sell. She does things completely differently from any other agency and that will be evident from the minute you meet her. Her clients are all repeat business or referrals as once you’ve dealt with Kathy, you won’t want any other realtor. Her nickname, as the “Little Super Agent”, was coined by her clients. Call her on 0437 192 335 and see for yourself why.

include others in her activities. “Judi is clearly a star in the making as she confidently leads assemblies, represents the school in athletics and takes to the stage to dance, sing and perform gymnastics,” Ms Graley said. “I feel confident in our future when I get to meet and recognise young leaders like Judi who genuinely care about others and make an effort to reach out and include everyone. “I have no doubt that I will soon be seeing Judi on the track, at the top of the charts or maybe even on the floor of parliament.”
Battery moves have power At Batteryzone Pakenham, the team of experienced and dedicated staff are committed to serving the local and greater community with good old-fashioned customer service and values. With more than 30 years’ experience in the battery industry, Batteryzone Pakenham recognises the need for a “specialist” battery retailer from which customers can source a wide range of all domestic, commercial and industrial type batteries and caravan, camping, 4WD, solar and 12V accessories. “We offer the general public a one-stopshop for all their battery needs,” Batteryzone Pakenham owner Charlie Carter said. “We stock all the major brands and more and we also stock a large range of accessories including battery chargers, power boxes generators, solar panels, UHF radios, with a large part of our business supplying and installing dual battery systems. “We also offer free roadside assist or home call outs if your battery dies within five kilome-
tres of the store.” Batteryzone Pakenham staff stress that customers shouldn’t just consider them for batteries because they can also supply and fit dual battery systems for performance management of cars, 4WDs, boats and campers/ caravans. It also has a huge range of solar panels and regulators to suit most application needs and staff are happy to assist in designing a system which will meet customers’ requirements based on some basic questions. “The staff are my best features because without well-trained staff the business wouldn’t run,” Charlie said. “And, of course, our prices are very competitive. “Batteryzone Pakenham wishes all its valued customers a safe Christmas and a happy new year!” Batteryzone Pakenham is at shop 3/206 Princes Highway in Pakenham. For more information, phone 5940 1364 or visit www.batteryzone.com.au.
FOCUS ON … CHRISTMAS IN BEACONSIFELD
Like grandmother used to make it Joanne Tucci, owner of the Cake Stop in Beaconsfield, loves turning to her grandmother’s old recipe book for inspiration at Christmas. Joanne believes the book is about 70 years old. “She was a lover of baking and I believe both my daughter Melissa and I were given our love of baking from her,” Joanne said. A visit to the Cake Stop is a must for those who are thinking of decorating their own festive fruit cake this Christmas. The store stocks cake decorating supplies as well as made-to-order cakes. Customers can hire cake decorating equipment or take part in a cake decorating class. And don’t walk out with ordering a delicious cake and coffee to eat in or takeaway. Joanne has generously shared two of her grandmother’s recipes with Gazette readers.
Boiled fruit cake
· Put into a saucepan · 1 cup sugar · 1 cup butter · 1 packet of mixed fruit · 1 cup boiling water · 1 teaspoon soda Boil for five minutes then take off and cool. Add: 2 well beaten eggs 1 cup plain flour 1 cup self-raising flour Pour into a well-greased dish and bake at 175 degrees for one and a quarter hours. A little spice can also be added.
· · ·
Ginger bread 4 and a quarter cups of self-raising flour 2 cups sugar
· ·
Ginger bread can be cut into festive shapes for Christmas.
Joanne and Melissa Tucci at the Cake Stop wish all their customers a merry Christmas.
· 1 teaspoon spice · 2 teaspoons of cinnamon · 2 large tablespoons of golden syrup
· 55 grams of powdered ginger Mix to a thin paste with water. Cook in a moderate oven for 15-20 minutes.

Porter’s perfect draft night By Russell Bennett “I’m still pinching myself, to be honest. It’s just awesome.” Callum Porter’s sheer jubilation at being drafted by the Western Bulldogs in the fifth round with pick 74 of the AFL National Draft on Friday night was unmistakable. Speaking to the Gazette in the wake of the draft, the impressive Officer and Gippsland Power product said the initial feeling upon seeing his name read out was “pure shock”. “It’d obviously been such a long journey and to think it’d finally gotten to that point, it was just shock,” the 18-year-old said. “When it started to sink in that little bit more I was just unbelievably excited.” Porter was selected by the 2016 AFL premiers after interviewing with them multiple times in the lead-up to the draft - including once at his home. And it was at home on Friday night, together with just a few family members, that he saw his draft dream come true right in front of his eyes. “I kept it pretty low-key because I wasn’t sure what was going to happen,” he said. “But once we heard the news heaps of people came straight over and our driveway was completely filled with cars!” Porter is a realist - he knew the chances of his dream not coming true on Friday night. “My family and I really had our minds around the nature of the system,” he said. “It can be quite ruthless at times and with the whole nature of the draft everything can change on the night. Sometimes even the recruiters aren’t sure what’s going to happen - so from that point view there were definitely no guarantees.” Porter was prepared either way - having also applied for a double bachelor university degree in exercise science and education.
Callum Porter's AFL dream has come true - drafted in Friday night's National Draft by the Western Bulldogs. He knows just how important balance is, despite the at-times all-encompassing AFL world. “Even though everyone will be enjoying their footy it’s pretty full-on, especially for someone just entering the system like myself,” he said. “It’s definitely important to have a balance
outside of footy and something to keep you going. Life as an AFL footballer, whether you’re successful or not, is very short-lived so it’s definitely important to have something after footy, whether it’s job experience or an education.” Porter said the strength of the Bulldogs’ culture was immediately obvious to him after the outpouring of congratulations he’d already received from those in the club’s inner sanctum.
“In terms of being a young player, I don’t think I could have asked for a better club to go to,” he said. “They’ve got an outstanding culture. “I couldn’t fault anything with the whole process - it really is a dream come true.” Having interviewed with the club numerous times before the draft, Porter knew that his best bet to be drafted lay with the Bulldogs but the nerves came right to the fore as he was taken with the night’s fifth last pick. “I’d watched the whole draft and seen other players get picked and it got to the 70s and there was an order of clubs I’d spoken with and I thought that’d probably be the last roll of the dice,” he said. “I think we got more and more nervous the longer it went. Even though I’d worked really hard (to be drafted) I still think I was super lucky. “But now that I’m in the system it doesn’t matter if I went early in the draft or later - we all get the same opportunity. Everything is in my hands now - it’s up to me and how hard I want to work in terms of how much I’m going to develop.” Porter has already begun life as a Bulldog living with Josh Dunkley, another of the club’s Gippsland Power alumni. Western Bulldogs recruiting manager Simon Dalrymple said immediately after Friday’s draft that: “Cal Porter, with our last pick, is a boy who’s a great competitor, an outstanding young man, and Gippsland Power were glowing in their character reference (of him). “Cal can play as an inside or outside mid, and he can go forward and he’s good overhead. “He’s got a great attitude. At that later pick, the ability to come in and work and really train the house down is important and he’s got some good speed, some good power, and he wins the ball in different ways so we think that’s attractive.”

By Gavin Stubbs In a performance that belied her years, claiming jockey Caitlin King put on a master class riding display at Woolamai picnic races on Saturday to land three winners for the afternoon. Under sunny skies, in what was the first meeting of the season at Woolamai, Pakenham trainer Ron Stephens had little concern as his horse Frankincense scored comfortably in the opening race. Race two saw King strike her first blow aboard Tickaloy. Positioned on the pace throughout, the Moe-trained four-year-old proved too strong for rivals and won with something in reserve. Race three went to Barry Goodwin’s fiveyear-old mare Timely Girl. The fourth race on the card saw the 21-yearold King chalk up a double aboard Don’t Forget Tiny. Trained by Christopher Diplock at Pakenham, the gelding was rated perfectly in the lead and in a driving finish clung on to score by the narrowest of margins. The result denied Mornington trainer Rebecca Waymouth her first victory of the season at Woolamai with her six-year-old Three Handles. However, strong numbers and sheer consistency with their horses should see multiple wins for the Waymouth stable on the picnic circuit this season. Race five looked on paper a competitive affair and it played to expectations. With several runners challenging on the point of the home corner, it was left to recent provincial winner Maldonado to break up the field. The Cranbourne trained six year old swept past the others upon straightening up for the run home and looked all over a winner, however jockey Reece Goodwin had other ideas. The Cranbourne-based rider weaved a passage through the field on nine-year-old year gelding The Sands and pounced with 80 metres left to go to score by two lengths. As storm clouds gathered on the horizon, the final event of the programme saw a run of firsts, with Captain Cupboard chalking up win number one. Moe trainer Ebony Tucker also scored her maiden victory as a trainer and was

The race also saw King bring up a winning treble. When asked what the day meant to her, King simply described it as an “unbelievable feeling.” She was also keen to point out the support she received from several Pakenham and Moe trainers which contributed greatly to her results. Woolamai Race Club secretary Bev Carmichael was delighted with the opening to the season. “It’s terrific to have such a successful start to the season, people have enjoyed themselves and crowd numbers were again excellent,” Carmichael said. “Both visitors to the area and the Bass Coast community continue to support our meetings and we look forward to the next race day on Sunday 7 January.” pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

The vengeful gods By Russell Bennett The cricket gods giveth - and the cricket gods taketh away. That seemed to be the story for the Cardinia Cricket Club on Saturday when a vicious storm threatened to ruin a magnificent run-chase against Upper Beaconsfield at E Gunton Oval. The time was 5.30pm; the Bulls set for victory at 5/218 with 10 overs left - just 19 runs short of their intended target of 237. Then the skies opened and the game seemed headed for a draw. But the Bulls were having none of it. Though there was still some light rain in the air at 6pm, skipper Alex Nooy and his teammates took matters into their own hands to ensure they could get on to the ground and finish what they’d started. The Bulls resumed day two at 0/2 with Nooy and Ben Parrott at the crease. But just as they seemed set, Parrott (22) and Nooy (30) were both removed and were joined soon after by Brad Reiner - stumped off gun Upper Beac spinner Scott Pitcher. But from there, two young Bulls with plenty to prove with the willow - Matt Welsh (58) and Travis Wheller (44) - combined for a 79-run stand that had their side well back on the path to victory. Welsh then showed maturity well beyond his years in partnership with Ricky Campbell (40) before Welsh ultimately fell at 5/214. Just minutes later - the rain fell. After another short wait to remove excess water from the pitch, play was to resume at 6.30. Suddenly, their hopes of a crucial win were revived. But the Maroons took 4/10 to have the Bulls suddenly staring down the barrel of defeat at 9/224 - still needing 13 runs from the final wicket. “What we were getting up to was pretty
Matt Welsh starred for Cardinia on Saturday with a match-winning half-century against Upper Beaconsfield. 175510 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS funny, but we just had to get back out there because at one stage we thought we’d win five down - not struggle badly at nine down!” Nooy said. It all came down to the last over, and while Alex was the star recently with his blistering ton against Emerald, this time it was his brother Aidan’s turn - belting a six and a single off the final over to secure a famous win. Speaking of Emerald, it was obliterated on the second day of its round six clash at home against Pakenham. The Lions resumed on day two at 4/108 needing just another 31 runs to claim first innings points. Sensing blood in the water, they went in for the kill - declaring at 5/145 (off the back of an unbeaten half-century from Troy McDermott) and sending the Bombers back in. The hunt for outright points was well and truly on for Pakenham skipper Dom Paynter and his men, and the Bombers’ second innings was nothing short of disastrous - rolled
for just 61 with only two batsmen, Jason Burns (13) and Sam Stapleton (12), making double figures. Tom Tyrrell was devastating to Emerald’s top and middle orders, finishing with 4/13 from his 12 overs - which included seven maidens - while Paynter (2/14), Jason Williams (2/12), and Chris Smith (2/7) took two scalps apiece. The Lions then closed out their rout, finishing on 2/56 from just nine overs in their second innings with Smith (26 not out) and Williams (12 not out) leading the charge. At Tooradin, meanwhile, Merinda Park started day two in chase of the Gulls’ 209 and a potentially stunning win. But it was an all too familiar story for Merinda Park with impressive opener Daniel McCalman (47) the only one of his side’s top four batsmen to fire. Yet with McCalman’s wicket at 3/68, Jordon Thomas (87 not out) stepped up to the plate. Though he was struggling for support around him, he kept a calm head and compiled a stoic, gutsy half-century - even getting to within reach of a memorable ton - before the resistance finally ended at 163. Russell Lehman (2/27), Kade Burns (2/27) and Dylan Sutton (2/1) were the multiple wicket-takers for the home side. Meanwhile, at Denhams Road, Kooweerup continued on its barnstorming run with a commanding win over finals aspirant Clyde. Glen Tuckwell and Gavin Britt resumed on Saturday at 2/7 - a position their side couldn’t ever recover from - the Cougars were ultimately dismissed for 165 in 44 overs. Shane White (31 not out) and Britt (30) top-scored for the visitors while Jack Bacon (3/25), Mitch Davey (2/33), Matt Bright (1/8), Paul Bright (1/8), and Chris O’Hara (1/9) were Kooweerup’s day two wicket takers.

Countdown to the Cup By David Nagel The countdown is on to the biggest day on the local racing calendar with the $250,000 Sportsbet Pakenham Cup to be run on Saturday 9 December. A total of $920,000 in prize money will be up for grabs at PRC’s home track at Tynong. PRC chief executive Michael Hodge said the club was expecting a huge crowd to attend the second edition of the metropolitan standard raceday. “Bookings have surpassed last year and as a consequence we’re expecting a bumper crowd to enjoy a great day at the races,” Hodge said. “We have over 4300 pre-paid admissions and bookings already sold and we recommend that people pre-purchase their tickets online to avoid delays in admission to the track.” Limited tickets are still available for the Celebrity Marquee and The Rails Precinct Umbrella Package, with a two-for-one special offer available for general admission for the first 150 people to book online today. Bookings can made at pakenhamracing. com.au

Pro-Am day at Pakenham By David Nagel The opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the best PGA Professionals in the country is once again on offer with the Pakenham Golf Club set to host its Corporate Challenge ProAm on Friday 8 December. The PGC has been very creative with its marquee event, combining the corporate element to its long-standing tradition of attracting quality golfers to play for the rich prizemoney on offer. General Manager Haydn Thompson is expecting another bumper edition of the event next Friday. “Last year we flipped the traditional ProAm set-up and started this new concept which was received so well by our corporate partners and PGA Professionals that we are running it again this year,” Thompson said. “As opposed to the normal Pro-Am struc-
ture, we have our PGA Professionals play in the Ambrose team with the corporate sponsors, thus allowing for better interaction, coaching and banter between the amateurs and professionals.” Cost of entry includes all food, beer, wine and soft drink - both before golf and on course for the entire round - with a fully-catered dinner enhanced by a still-to-be-announced guest speaker. An awards presentation will run during dinner, with sporting memorabilia, auctions and raffles also planned as part of the night’s entertainment. Players can invite partners and guests to the two-course dinner at a cost of $30 for nongolfing attendees. Those interested can contact Haydn at haydn@pakenhamgolfclub.com.au or by phone on 0415 051 400.
