From aiding fellow men with their mental health to building shelters for native wildlife, it’s no wonder Les Jacobs was named 2018 Cardinia Shire Senior Citizen of the Year. The Bunurong Men’s Shed Pakenham’s president is renowned for having a way with people. His work through the Men’s Shed has not only given Mr Jacobs a way of giving to the community, but has also been said to have saved a few lives. As he put it during the shed’s fifth birthday celebrations in October, the group “is more than just fixing furniture”. “We’re very much focused on men’s health, looking after one another,” Mr Jacobs said, adding that the group prides itself on the ability to discuss and promote health and wellbeing without “shoving it down members’ throats”. Currently operating out of Meadowvale Retirement Village, the shed’s informal setting plays a big role in offering comfortable spaces for chats and a work area where men can gather without feeling any pressure to open up. Mr Jacobs said when men worked together, they started talking - it just came naturally. The success of the environment Mr Jacob has been instrumental in developing speaks for itself. “Two guys have said they no longer feel suicidal. That’s no small feat,” Mr Jacobs said. Men’s shed members aren’t the only ones to benefit from Mr Jacobs’ bright ideas. Mr Jacobs and his men’s shed members have made ramps to assist older residents who struggle to climb stairs, possum and bird boxes to protect native wildlife, and wooden training horses for Riding with the Disabled. It’s this service to the men’s shed and greater area that has seen Mr Jacobs receive the prestigious award. It may have been the community’s way of saying thankyou, but to Mr Jacobs, it was the community who needed thanking. “I’ve had success and pleasure doing these things for the community,” he said. “I do don’t it for the recognition; I just do what I do.”

A celebration for all By Bonny Burrows The Aussie spirit was truly in the air at the Australia Day citizenship and awards ceremony in Pakenham over the long weekend. Welcoming 38 new families as citizens this Australia Day, the event focused around welcoming all with open arms. There were even a few tears shed during a touching Ceremony at Cardinia Cultural Centre, with people from walks of life pledging to uphold Australian values as newly-minted Australian citizens. Welcomed with a huge round of applause, each of the shire’s newest citizens were handed a certificate and Aussie gift pack to kick-start their new lives. Cardinia mayor Collin Ross said there was no better day to welcome new members to the community than Australia Day. “Australia Day is the perfect day to reflect on what makes us Australian,” he said. The mayor spoke of his own multi-cultural family which includes members from India and China. He said migrants were important community members who had helped shaped Austra-

lia into what it was today. Our migrants were hard workers, he said, who “had a real hard crack at what they do”. “These people have forged their way, often coming here with nothing and they’ve built on it,” Cr Ross said. “Our Australia would not be the place it is today without them.” Cardinia Shire Council’s 2018 Australia Day Awards were also presented as part of the annual celebration. The winners were: Citizen of the Year Malcolm Graham; Senior Citizen of the Year Les Jacobs; Youth Citizen of the Year Sally Jensen; and Community Event of the Year Casey Cardinia Biggest Blokes Lunch 2017. The Pakenham event, which concluded with an afternoon of food and fun, was one of five free community events hosted in celebration of Australia Day across the shire. Cardinia Shire’s outdoor pools also marked the occasion with Aussie-themed water activities.

Three National Anthems were sung on the day. 176994

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Kerrigan La-Brooy, Pastor at the Gethsemane Church

1. What is something people don't know about you? My parents feared they were losing me when I was just 2 days old. It was a horrendous scare because they'd lost the baby just before me. 2. What is your most memorable moment? May I have three please?Getting married to my beautiful wife, becoming a Dad to my 6 priceless treasures & graduating from Harvest Bible College. 3.

Hats off to the Hon Anthony Byrne and his entire Holt office for putting on such a fantastic event for the community. 4. What's the best thing about being a part of the Gethsemane Church? Being able to share God's love throughout the community and being able to help others exercise their capabilities and reach their full potential. 5.Where did you learn to sing and play the guitar? I'm self-taught. I watched my Dad play his guitar when he sang with my Mum. 6. Were you overwhelmed by the support from the support after organising the inaugural Clyde Christmas last year? Absotively, Posilutely!!!! In fact, it still hasn't quite sunk in as such. It's refreshing to know that there are so many awesome folk out there who are keen to support a good cause. 7. What is your favourite book? The Bible. 8. At school I... was not always a happy chappy but did the best with the resources available to me. 9. If you could play in any sporting event around the world, what it would be? The Australian Open or the Olympics (Swimming). 10. What was your first or best concert? My own concert in 2011. PURELY for the fact that my children joined me on stage.

THREE … simple rules on campfire safety....

Use a purpose-built fireplace where provided, otherwise light your campfire in a trench at least 30cm deep. Ensure the trench is no larger than one one square metre in size and the area around the trench is cleared of flammable material up to three metres in all directions, including above the campfire.

Branches and logs on your campfire must be less than one metre long - keep your fire just big enough for warmth and cooking.

Never leave a campfire alight or unattended. You must maintain a 50 metre line of sight of the campfire at all times.

Vandals at their worst By Cam Lucadou-Wells

The former Rebound Fitness Club. 177120 Picture: ROB CAREW

Narre Community Learning Centre chief executive Wayne Hewitt in a children's playground, next Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS door to the abandoned gym. 177120 young-adult loiterers “leering at little kids” in the playground. On one occasion, the men responded by trying to jump the playground fence, forcing Mr Hewitt to lock the centre’s doors. “Our concern is the potential (harm) not the actual. “We have no control over what’s happening over there - and it’s not necessarily socially appropriate.” Several years ago, the former facility was touted as a potential mosque and community centre by the Hazara group, the Etrat Institute of Australia. It was however effectively abandoned in 2014 when Etrat’s plan was rejected by Casey 12377117-CG04-18

A long-abandoned leisure centre in Narre Warren has become a hive of vandals, drug users and squatters - just metres from a neighbouring playgroup. Children and staff look out from Narre Community Learning Centre’s playground onto the ruins of the former Rebound Fitness Club at 5 Rebound Court. In full view are dumped shopping trolleys, bins, graffiti-strewn walls and a makeshift table with milk-crate seats and a discarded bong. Staff have also tried to deter loiterers from hanging outside their playground fence. The inside of the centre has been trashed by intruders. Every surface - including the large, empty pool - is tagged with layers of graffiti. Holes are punched in walls, bathroom fittings torn out. Like many parents, Narre Community Learning Centre chief executive Wayne Hewitt used to drop off his kids for swimming lessons at the club - which boasted a pool, gym and squash courts. For the past two years, he has lobbied for Casey Council to buy up the desolate site and transform it into an asset. “The (trespassers) are treating it as a dropin centre effectively “It’s just a nuisance and a blight on the local landscape. We’ve agitated for some time for something to be done.” Mr Hewitt proposes a hub for services such as indigenous childcare, youth and indigenous vocational training in its stead. It would be a valuable addition to a precinct of shops, eateries and community education services - and a short walk from Narre Warren railway station, he argues. Most of the anti-social issues appear to occur at night but Mr Hewitt has confronted

Council due to an abject parking shortfall. Mr Hewitt has made unsuccessful attempts to contact Etrat since. “If you can’t use it, sell it,” is his advice. Casey Council has been considering compulsorily acquiring the site since September 2016. Casey spokesman Gerard Scholten said the council was undertaking a community-service needs study in Narre Warren to identify whether the property needed to be acquired. Mr Scholten said the council was concerned about the state of the building and the danger it posed to the community. The owner had complied with an emergency order from Casey - which was to install new

A newly installed front door at the ex-Rebound Fitness Club. 177120 doors and signage to stop the building being accessed, Mr Scholten said. “The building is prohibited from being occupied until some building and safety issues are addressed, and Council is working with the owner to ensure the building is kept secure in the meantime” Casey had previously cleaned up graffiti of an “offensive nature” and responded to graffiti reports. “(The council) is currently receiving the necessary permissions to remove further graffiti from the building. “If residents are concerned about illegal or anti-social behaviour, they should contact Victoria Police.”

Need for power Thanks to Cam Lucadou-Wells' interesting report last week, see the Berwick Star News, “Broadway Lights",Thursday 25 January, in which both councilors Wayne Smith and Rosalie Crestani claim the Casey community will benefit from council’s $620,000 China business strategy. I believe this is little more than another “Chinese hoax" and that Casey Council does not really have a viable business strategy at all. Victoria’s power supply is vulnerable to interruption and this was made clear last weekend when thousands of homes had to deal with blackouts. Instead of going on junkets to China or Israel, Crs Smith and Crestani could make far better use of Casey’s resources by developing a business strategy to bring Tesla batteries to Casey. Tesla batteries would add more capacity to the existing electrical infrastructure system and they have the potential to provide substantial savings to consumers. Casey councillors are living in a time warp. The way forward for local government today is to invest in renewable sources of energy, solar and wind power, for example, not on junkets to China! Sincerely, John Glazebrook. Endeavour Hills.

Thumbs up To the lovely lady who paid for my son and his fiancé breakfast when she overheard them discussing their finances as they prepare to move in to their first home. Lovely to know there are some really nice people in the community.

A Casey Council Facebook stream for the meeting of Tuesday, 16 January caused some frustration among viewers after the video of the meeting was not uploaded online. City of Casey Governance Manager Holly De Kretser said the Facebook stream for the meeting was working on the night, with staff viewing the stream several times. "This is the first time we have experienced the error of Facebook being unable to load the video and we are currently working to get the video re-uploaded to Facebook. Live streaming videos are also available via Council's YouTube channel," she said. She said council were aware of the issues being experienced in relation to the sound quality during livestreaming. "As Bunjil Place is a new building, these type of issues are not uncommon as we become familiar with the new AV and sound equipment," she said. Ms Krester said council staff are investigating the cause of these sound quality issues and

hope to have it rectified soon. "As the Bunjil Place Function Centre is a multi-purpose space, the AV and sound system has not been designed exclusively for livestreaming." "Council staff are still learning the system and how it can be best setup for different functions and events including livestreaming." "Since moving into Bunjil Place, council staff have been working to improve the council Meeting livestream experience, through adjustments to the room lighting, room set up, sound, picture angle and overall production value." Council meeting livestreaming was launched on 9 November 2017, and has seen an average of 2.3k views across both Facebook and YouTube, with a total of 93 comments received.

High on urban myths Here's a novel excuse for not attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings. A drug addict before Dandenong Magistrates' Court tells the judge he doesn't go to them because "half the Apex Gang" often go there. He also offered his street-smart opinion on a preceding case about a guilty teen-sex predator. "I know why the church is slow to report these things. "They believe only way to beat those things is through the Lord."

Neighbours in a spin Narre Warren residents standing up against well-publicised illegal hoon activity in their area were a bit peeved by a recent press report. The report quotes one of the neighbours who downplayed any wrongdoing - such as the drug-dealing and burn-outs. Other residents say she may have a certain conflict of interest, knowing a couple of the local 'bad boys' very well. pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Nervous wait on livelihood By Brendan Rees A Berwick couple are waiting nervously to find out whether their allegedly stolen trailer was damaged in a towing business fire - only days after it was recovered in Hallam. Courtney Hill and Clay Tharle say it was "a huge sigh of relief" to be reunited with their trailer on Tuesday, 23 January after it was allegedly stolen earlier this month. The trailer, which was used for the couple's lemonade business, Lemon-Aid was found by police at a Hallam address and towed to Berwick Towing Service on Enterprise Avenue, Berwick. The trailer was allegedly taken from a factory carpark in Deblin Drive, Narre Warren

during the earlier hours of Friday, 12 January. But the state of the trailer remained in limbo after a fire ripped through the towing centre on Friday, 26 January. Just days before the fire, an elated Mr Tharle said they had not been confident of getting the trailer back until they received the good news. "It means the world now. To get that back is just a huge sigh of relief," he said."We ended up going last week and buying another caravan. We were just going to turn it back into our lemonade stand." Earlier this week Mr Tharle said they were yet to find out if their trailer was damaged in the fire. Police and CFA crews from Berwick, Hallam, Dandenong and Bayswater were called to the

towing centre fire at about 5.50am where it's believed at least two cars were damaged. A CFA spokesperson said "multiple cars were alight," adding the fire was contained by 7.15am. Berwick CFA First Lieutenant Peter Obeth said the factory filled up with thick black smoke causing a lot of damage. "Once we got in and squirted a lot of water around and knocked it down, it was a little bit easier to see what was going on." He said no one in the building at the time of the fire but added there were multiple cars parked inside. The cause of the fire is still undetermined and police are investigating.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Hatt from the Southern Metro Crime Unit said the damage was unknown and they were in the process of speaking to witnesses and looking at CCTV footage. "There are no real answers for us or anyone else at present," he said. "As far as being a criminal act we simply don't know. We can say a lot more until we know exactly what's going on" Berwick Towing Service declined to comment on the incident. Police are also investigating the theft of the trailer where it's believed two cars were caught on CCTV from a business in Deblin Drive at the time the trailer was allegedly stolen. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Digger taken from work site Surprise sounds of summer By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Casey Crime Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses following the alleged theft of a Vermeer S75TX front load digger in Clyde North. The digger was taken from a construction site on Soldiers Road in early November last year. Police have supplied an image of a digger of similar make, model and colour. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au and quote incident number 180013835.

Police are hoping to locate a front load digger, similar to the one pictured, that was allegedly stolen. Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Casey starts on poll push By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council has entered the 2018 state election fray with a plea to vying political parties for $2.7 billion in roads and rail in the South East. Under a 'Commit to Casey' banner, the council is lobbying for an extended Cranbourne rail line and for $1.2 billion in road upgrades. The council claims soaring traffic volumes and slashed public transport budgets have made Casey's roads among the state's most clogged. As part of the campaign - during what's tipped to be a tight election - the council has launched a website for visitors to send a preform email, and request a bumper sticker or a placard. Mayor Geoff Ablett said the investment would create more than 18,000 jobs, better link homes and employment precincts and inject $1.5 billion into the local economy. "Fixing roads and extending rail will create jobs, improve access to essential services, ease cost of living pressures and help the local community and economy thrive," Cr Ablett said. "Investment in Casey infrastructure is well overdue, this can't go on, and urgent action is needed." Resident Mark Seels, in backing the campaign, said it was "great to see Council standing up for Casey families". "Too many families spend too much time stuck in traffic each day - all they want is to get where they need to go safer and sooner." Casey's roads wish-list includes extending

Yogini helps restore calm By Cam Lucadou-Wells Councillors and residents get on track for the Commit to Casey campaign. 177187 Picture: GARY SISSONS Dandenong Bypass to South Gippsland Freeway, upgrading Pound Road, Greaves Road and O'Shea Road and eliminating the Remington Drive level crossing. Other proposals are finishing the duplication of Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road as well as extending Thompsons and Glasscocks roads. The campaign has a tighter focus than the council's advocacy during the 2014 state election. During that poll, the council backed the then-Liberal Government's plans for East West Link and Port of Hastings. It also lobbied for funding for Bunjil Place, youth mental health services, bus and road upgrades, and creating jobs in Casey-Cardinia. Details on the 2018 campaign: www.CommitToCasey.com.au.

The karma train has arrived fortuitously for stricken customers of a closed-down Narre Warren South yoga studio. Several customers claim to have paid up for membership and a yoga retreat just days before Now, Yoga studio at Amberly Park shopping centre suddenly closed its doors. There seemed little recourse for customers - the business's phone, internet and Facebook sites are disconnected, its premises vacant. On the front door is a notice for more than $13,000 in rent arrears addressed to the studio's tenants Melise Weatherlake and Tony Simpson, with letters from Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal pushed under the door. To the rescue came Mandala Mindfulness yoga teacher Jacqueline Powell - with an active philosophy of "loving kindness". Her studio has offered free classes and a free yoga retreat to the students as well as a helping hand for the unemployed studio teachers. So far up to six customers have made enquiries.

"I thought it's really not fair for (the customers) paying money to do a good thing for themselves, and for that to happen. "Even if no one takes up the offer, at least I can put a smile on their face. "It's nice to shine a light. It's not all bad out there." The offer comes at some personal cost to Ms Powell. "But if I can afford it and have means to do it, why not? "Just pay it forward." Ms Powell took up yoga six years ago after taking time off work to overcome stress and anxiety. "It just allows me to function at 100 miles an hour if I need to. It makes me more relaxed, calmer and energetic." She now teaches the craft together with meditation, while holding a full-time job in property development. She is also offering a free open day at her studio at 58-60 Victor Crescent, Narre Warren on Saturday, 17 February at 9am-5pm. For details go to 'Mandala Mindfulness' Facebook page.

Blackmail attempt fail, so jail for Sale By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Hampton Park man may soon be released from jail for blackmailing a Dandenong panel beater, a car theft and illegally possessing stolen high-powered rifles in September 2016. Elijah Sale, 20, threatened to tie up the panel beater, throw him in a vehicle and burn down the factory if a ‘debt’ of $50,000 wasn’t paid within a month. Sale told the victim that he knew where the victim lived. Sale had been enlisted by a man who had just been released from jail for stealing a $30,000 ‘debt’ from the same panel-beater. Over the next three weeks, Sale re-visited the factory, phoned the victim and even spoke to the victim’s mother at the victim’s home.

“In effect, you stood over him for a person imprisoned for similar conduct,” Victorian County Court judge Mark Dean said during sentencing on 29 January. Sale was arrested soon after visiting the workshop in a freshly-stolen Audi A5 vehicle. Police found photos on Sale’s phone of him bearing four fire-arms stolen in an aggravated burglary. The photos were dated one hour after the burglary. Sale – who was 18 at the time of his arrest – was entitled to be sentenced as a young offender who required supervision and rehabilitative support on his release from jail, Judge Dean said. However, he was found to be no longer fit for youth detention, having served his remand in an adult prison since his arrest.

He also had a lengthy history for armed robbery, weapons charges, intentionally causing injury and car theft despite the Childrens Court’s attempts to help him reform. Sale had below-average intellect and a substance abuse disorder that made him vulnerable to being lured into the blackmail, Judge Dean noted. The talented boxer and AFL footballer was from a large Samoan family, with his parents and siblings in full-time work. “It’s clear you have the support of your family,” Judge Dean said. Sale was jailed for up to three years and three months with an 18-month non-parole period. His sentence will include his 489 days in pre-sentence detention. Sale was disqualified from driving for 12 months.

Accused ISIS supporter in court A Hampton Park disability pensioner accused of funding Islamic State fighters in Syria has reappeared briefly at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court. Isa Kocoglu, 43, allegedly sent almost $4000 via PayPal and bank deposits to the cause in 2013 and 2014. On 29 January, his lawyer told the court they would test digital evidence extracted by police from Mr Kocoglu’s electronic devices. Mr Kocoglu has been charged with providing support to a person engaged in hostile activity in Syria. The maximum penalty, if found guilty, is 10 years’ jail. He was bailed to appear at a committal hearing on 13 July.

PROPERTY NEWS

HEAT ON POOL COMPLIANCE AS temperatures soar across the state, the attraction of a backyard pool increases for both home owners and buyers. How much value a pool adds to a home is dependent on a number of factors including property type, landscaping and garden size. A swimming pool is likely to add greater value to a family home rather than a smaller property suited to downsizers. If you’re thinking of installing a pool, look for a design that suits your backyard and doesn’t overwhelm your garden. Given the variety of pool sizes and shapes now available, a pool can be incorporated even in areas where block sizes are decreasing. A pool should complement a property with clever landscaping integrating indoor and outdoor living space. Ensuring safety barriers comply with local and state standards is also installed, particularly if the property is being rented out. While a pool can add monetary advantages at sale time, home owners should be aware that the project may overcapitalise their home. A local real estate agent will be able to provide home owners with advice on comparable sales in the area - both homes with and without a pool. For vendors, the presentation and maintenance of your pool will go a long way to determining how much of an asset it is when it comes time to sell. A neglected pool can be an eyesore so ensure the pool is vacuumed and clear of leaves and other debris. For those thinking of purchasing a home with an existing pool, it’s imperative to inspect barriers as proposed changes to pool fences could result in costly repairs or replacement later on. Prospective buyers can check with the local council as to whether the existing pool fence is compliant. ● GIL KING CEO, REIV 2

Beaconhills offers a shining light

Josh and Amanda explore the confines of The Picture: ROB CAREW Cell. 177185

By Cam Lucadou-Wells and Brendan Rees Beaconhills College's history of generosity has earned it a Casey Australia Day Award. The school's students volunteered 2200 hours to community service last year, earning the title of 2017 Casey Community Group of the Year. Their good deeds are too long to list. But they include raising $50,000 for the cancer fundraiser Relay For Life, cooking muffins and for Berwick Vinnies Soup Van and donating solar lights to East Timor. Students also donated 850 kilograms of rice and pasta - enough for 5000 meals - for Feed Melbourne, made tactile picture books for Insight School for the Blind and Vision Impaired and gave to Casey North CISS's winter coat appeal. "Kids learn and appreciate by taking action themselves," says the school's citizenship and service head Clare Tuohy. "It's very easy to put your hand in your pocket and give $10 or $20 but it's not the same as putting your hand in." It was wonderful the school was recognised as a local organisation that cared about the needs of others, Ms Tuohy said. "It's a great opportunity to bring to life the college values of compassion, empathy, and respect," she said. "Our dream is that every member of our community whether it be staff, students or parents give back to their community in some way." She said the award inspired the college to undertake even greater deeds. "In particular, I'm learning more about my local community in Casey and Cardinia. "There's a great need in our local community."

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Art goers are getting themselves locked-up in Bunjil Place Gallery's latest head-spinning installation. Dubbed 'The Cell', the artwork requires visitors to dress in a costume and crawl through a tunnel into a striped cell. Its creator Brook Andrews says the experience is transformational inside this disorienting "conundrum". "It's like you become an inmate, a cellular astronaut or asylum seeker. "Experiences of loss, asylum and genocide, an outsider, is turned on its head." The Cell is part of the gallery's Let's Play: The art of our time. It is at the Bunjil Place Studio until 4 February.

Surprise note By Cam Lucadou-Wells Next time you're at Bunjil Place, don't be surprised to hear some tinkling of the ivories. A vibrantly-painted piano has been installed in Bunjil's plaza as part of the Play Me, I'm Yours event across Melbourne. Working on the instrument were five artists from Casey Aboriginal Gathering Place: Joy Sellars, Heather Kennedy, Lucille Boothey, Natasha Smith and Greg Matthews. Each of them were assigned the various panels, sides and seats for decoration. Another piano decorated by MacKillop Family Services has been stationed at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne. The event is presented in partnership with Arts Centre Melbourne and City of Casey. It runs until 4 February.

Beaconhills College school captains Ashleigh Gilsen and Riley Boland accept the Casey Australia Day Award. 177134 Picture: BRENDAN REES

Close shave approaches By Russell Bennett If women battling breast cancer can lose their breasts in the fight of their lives, Eddie Lewis figures the least he can do in support of their cause is to lose his iconic beard. Lewis was last seen clean shaven in 1972 and no one who was at Toomuc Reserve on Australia Day watching Pakenham's Premier clash with Kooweerup would have seen him without his now famous beard. But now it's just a matter of days until it comes off in the name of charity at the Pakenham Cricket Club's Pink Ladies Day, held at Toomuc Reserve on 10 February. All the money raised will be donated to the McGrath Foundation, which places specialist breast care nurses wherever they're needed to help make life that little bit easier for individuals and families experiencing the effects of breast cancer. Lewis, who turns 68 in April and is one of the best batsmen in the history of the West Gippsland Cricket Association, is expecting his grandkids to be in shock when they first lay eyes on him following the shave but he is planning on regrowing the beard. After all, it's affectionately known as his 'Christmas beard' for when he takes on Santa Claus duties at Lewis family Christmas. But he holds no fear about getting it shaved off - particularly for such a great cause. "My wife is more worried about it than me, I think," he said. "She's seen me with a very short beard. I've trimmed it short a couple of times and she's said no - go sleep in the other room! "Look, a lot of women suffer with breast cancer and then they have to go and see the doctor all the time to make sure everything's

Pakenhamâ€™s supporters and life members are getting right behind Eddie Lewis for his shave. From left, Marti Sharp, Lindy Downes, Ed Lewis, Debbie Chaplin, Donna Anning and Narrell Williamson. 177015 ok, and they could lose a breast or even both. For me shaving the beard off is nothing, really. Hopefully we raise a bit of money for them because they're the ones doing it tough."

The Pakenham Cricket Club has placed donation tins around the town and have opened up a bank account where pledges can be made for the shave. The Bendigo Bank account num-

After rebuild, X-Men are set to rise in 2018 By Russell Bennett After an ego-crushing wooden spoon in 2017 and lack of committed players, the St Francis Xavier 'X-Men' have undergone a rebuild both on and off-field in an aim to once again be a power club in the VAFA. With a new president and new committee brings a confidence that 2018 will be a big year for the club. New president and 2015 premiership player Wayne Delaland is both excited and nervous about how far the group can go. "Having been at the club for seven years (and 100 game player), I have experienced the highs of premierships, multiple finals appearances and the lows of league demotion, lack of playing numbers and a wooden spoon in 2017," he said, honestly. "We are a proud club and have a history of success." The 2017 season left a sour taste in the mouths of many, especially with Delaland. "There are certainly parts of the club that we didn't handle well and this attributed to low morale and poor results," he said. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about being a first-time president. There are many parts of the role I'm yet to learn but my committee and I will accept the challenge of getting us back to finals and higher divisions. "When we won the Division 4 premiership in 2011, the club had strong leadership at all levels; president, committee, coaches and playing group. If we are going to return to that level of success, I knew we had to get the best people to the club, from a coaching and committee level." The first change came with new coaching appointments in both grades. Scott Mackenzie was appointed senior coach, having built successful teams at Hallam. He has brought new blood and a real sense of belief to the XMen and is very clear on his goals for the club, particularly being so passionate about player development. "Scott is a great communicator and we know he has the ability to develop players at all levels," Delaland said. "The club believes Scott can make good players great, and work with our young group pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

The X-Men are set to rise in 2018 under the guidance of (from back left): Josh Lafranchi (senior assistant), Wayne Delaland (president), David Antonielli (reserves coach), Scott Mackenzie (senior coach), and Chris Miller (strength and conditioning). Picture: SUPPLIED to develop them into senior footballers. "Scott understood our club and the importance of creating a competitive but welcoming culture. Most coaches will focus on the players they can bring with them, whereas Scott is eager to work with our core group of players, most in the age bracket of 24 to 28-years-old." Josh Lafranchi has taken up a senior assistant's role alongside Mackenzie after coaching the X-Men in 2017. With a decorated playing career in local leagues, he will work closely

with player development. David Antonielli has returned to St Francis as reserves coach, having won a best and fairest at the club in 2011. With the club averaging 40 players at preChristmas training sessions, the signs are looking promising for 2018. "Our training numbers are increasing and there is a real buzz around the club," Delaland said.

"This level of excitement hasn't been felt since our 2011 (Division 4) premiership year. "We are seeing a mix of new and existing players, which brings a confidence that the XMen are finals bound once again." The club is also seeking new sponsors and would welcome a conversation with any interested businesses. The X-Men are looking to revamp their club with upgraded playing facilities and clubrooms and any support would be appreciated. Thursday, 1 February, 2018

Pakenham prevails in heat PAKENHAM BOWLS SATURDAY Playing for the first time at the picturesque Warburton Bowls Club, it took Pakenham's Division 1 side some time to become accustomed to the unfamiliar surface and by the halfway mark they were down on two rinks, up on a third, all square on the fourth and ten shots behind on the big board. However from that point on, despite the oppressive heat and humidity, the Lions lifted to finish the day with three rinks up and with an overall win by four shots, 92-88 in a great game played in wonderful spirit. The best rink, with a score of 30-20, was Geoff Van Vugt (S), Ryan Drummond (3), Kerry Lewis (2) and Graeme Wilde (L). With 16 Pennant points from the win, the ones rose to fifth place on the ladder, replacing Warburton. They have a home game next round against Ringwood (fourth). Although playing at home, Pakenham 2 (Division 2) faced a big task on Saturday, hosting clear ladder leaders Beaumaris. With the exception of Jim Barrie's rink, the locals struggled from the outset and were behind by 30 shots halfway through the game. They put up more of a fight in the second half but unfortunately went on to lose by 37 shots, 95-58. The loss saw the twos drop one rung down the ladder to eighth, two points behind Hampton Park. They will be away to Keysborough (third) for Round 14. Pakenham 3 (Division 4) suffered an unexpected loss at home last Saturday. At second on the ladder and playing the eighth placed Edithvale, they probably had a win already pencilled in. Halfway through the game, things were going according to plan with the Lions up on three rinks and only two shots behind on the fourth, although the overall lead was a meagre five shots. However the visitors lifted as the game approached the final ends and somehow pulled off a win by a single shot

Lindsay Stevenson and Alan Waterson were winners against Keysborough.

Paul Currie skipped the best rink against Berwick. Pictures: SUPPLIED

- agonising for the locals but exhilirating for Edithvale. Pakenham finished with one rink up and one drawn. The winning rink with a 36-15 scorecard was Charles Harris (S), John Siekman (3), Terry O'Toole (2) and Ray Pigdon (L). Despite the loss, the threes retained second spot on the ladder, still almost a full round ahead of Mulgrave Country Club in third. Their next game will be away at Berwick (seventh). Pakenham 4 was given a walkover by Cranbourne RSL. They are now fourth on the ladder, one point behind Carrum and four ahead of Chelsea. They face a tough game away at Carrum in Round 14. With the fours not getting a game, the sixa-side Pakenham 5 had the numbers on Saturday for their game away at Highett. Played on heavy grass greens, the match was close all afternoon but in the end it was the locals who prevailed, picking up both rinks for an overall win of 39-31. The ladder is so tight that the loss saw the fifths drop from fourth to seventh on the ladder, now two points behind Highett. There are still only four points between fourth and seventh spots. The fives play the Dandenong Club (third) at home next round.

MIDWEEK After a long Christmas break further extended by the bye in Round 8, the Division 1 women only side was back in action on the grass at Berwick. The locals got away to an early lead but by the halfway mark, with one rink up, one down and one drawn, it was Pakenham who was in front, albeit by the narrow margin of only two shots. Two Pakenham rinks then pulled away from their opponents but the third dropped seven of the last 10 ends and the final outcome was a draw, 56 shots apiece. The best rink was Kerry Lewis (S), Ave Jones (3), Trish Morris (2) and Lavinia Moss (L) with a score of 23-13. The ladies are still in fourth spot, equal on points with Blackburn, but ahead on percentage and three behind Edithvale. However both of those sides have another bye before the end of the season whereas Pakenham has already had both byes. A win over Edithvale at home next round, combined with continued success, could see Pakenham finish the home and away season in as high as second spot. The Division 1 open Pakenham 2 had an absolute shocker at Armadale. Pakenham got away to an early lead on two rinks but things were quickly out of control on the third. Un-

fortunately by the time the game was half completed, despite Pakenham having a narrow lead on one rink, Armadale had doubled the Lions' score. There was no improvement as the game was played out and Pakenham eventually went down 92-50. Incredibly, the twos held on to third spot on the ladder, now only five points ahead of Armadale and seven in front of Beaumaris. Fortunately there was more good news than bad with both home sides having good wins. The top-of-the-ladder Pakenham 3 (Division 3) was at home to Berwick. The Lions were slow to start but by the completion of 33 of the 63 ends had more than doubled their opponents' score. They kept the foot down for the remainder of the game and eventually won 87-43 with two rinks up and one down. The best rink was Paul Currie (S), Kevin Donald (3), Ray Pigdon (2) and Joy Tomlin (L) with a score of 36-6. The threes retained top spot on the ladder, equal on points with Cranbourne but ahead on percentage and one point ahead of Keysborough in third. They play the fourth-placed Chelsea away in the next round. After some initial confusion regarding the venue, the six-a-side Pakenham 4 (top of the ladder) belatedly hosted Keysborough (third) to add another win to their impressive record this season. Although there was a tight tussle on one of the rinks all day, the other was never in trouble and in the end both Pakenham rinks won with an overall score of 39-28. The best rink was Ray Illing (S), Alan Waterson (2) and Lindsay Stevenson (L) with a score of 22-13. The fours hold top spot on the ladder, almost three full rounds ahead of Hampton Park in second. They are at home to Hampton Park next round. HI-LO The winner of the Hi-Lo for round 13 was Terry McRedmond with number 27.

PAKENHAM GOLF Tony Wynen broke through to win the Stableford event at Pakenham on Monday last week with 43 points. He had been having steady results over the past few competitions so it was pleasing for him to finally win the day. The runner-up was a visitor, Ronnie Chong, who hadn't played the course before and had 41 points. Alan Borch came in third and won a voucher for his efforts. The scoring continued to be of high quality with 39 points needed to win a ball. Frankie Chiu won with his Scratchie on the day. The members played Par on Wednesday of last week and Rob Nobelius found the secret with his new clubs and won A Grade with +6 on a countback from Chris McConnell. The club's little legend Ryan Cheyne won again with +7 on a countback from Willy Carmichael. Chris McConnell had a great day out, also winning two Nearest The Pins and his Scratchie. The other Scratchie winners were Barry Williams, Ron Carroll and Frankie Chiu. Rob Nobelius

won the Supercomp with +5 around the back nine. Ray McGrath was the champion of the Wednesday twilight competition with 22 points while Alex Green was second with 19 points on a countback from Geoff Dyker. Jennifer Grogan turned back the clock and scored 41 points to win comfortably on Thursday. The next best was Val Carroll, Leanne Barker and Anne Donovan with 36 points apiece. A high number of players took to the course on Australia Day, both competitively and socially with many playing early to try and beat the heat. Congratulations has to go to Anthony Kemsley who had 46 points. He has struggled with his golf the past couple of months, so it was great to see him score so well. The runnerup was Brian Tollkuhn with 43, while Col Baker scored 42 points off his 8 handicap. You again required 39 points to win a ball. On Saturday the plan was to play Gentsomes, but instead Stableford was scheduled due to the forecast heat. The A Grade winner was Phil Barling with 41points and the runner up was Peter Reilly with 40. The B Grade winner was Dave Leek with 41 points on a countback from Anthony Franzi . The C Grade, and overall, winner was Kevin McCrae with 43 points. The runner-up was Brinne Ferdinandus with 42 points.

Worth your while… New WGCA umpires will be reimbursed both their first year's membership and accreditation costs if they do their community umpire accreditation. This comes in an effort to attract more umpires to the competition, and the reimbursement comes in addition to the money they would make on match days. pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au
