NEW ERA IN HEALTH CARE
St John of God’s new Berwick hospital opened on 18 January to great acclaim. The hospital has 202 beds, eight operating theatres and six birthing suites. It also boasts the region’s first intensive care unit and a dedicated cardiac unit. This special eight page souvenir wrap documents this historic milestone in the development of the region’s health care system. Star News pays tribute to the people who drove the redevelopment and those doctors, care givers, ancillary workers and volunteers who are the heart beat of this world-class facility.
FOCUS ON … ST JOHN OF GOD HOSPITAL
Team approach to a special Teamwork and co-operation are the key phrases that keep being repeated when those who led the redevelopment look back on the extraordinary effort it has taken to deliver a new hospital that meets the needs of the rapidly expanding Casey Cardinia region. Co-operation between not only between the senior redevelopment team but also with the builders, architects, engineers and the hundreds of St John of God staff, volunteers and former patients involved in the process. It was CEO Lisa Norman’s job to develop a clinical services plan which mapped out the health care needs of the region and created the impetus behind the commissioning of the new $120 million facility. Her report found that in 10 years the region would need to have a facility of 300 beds and 12 operating theatres. “ That was kind of the vision, “ said Lisa. “Once we determined what it looked like we worked up a design at our old site at Gibb Street and worked up a design here ( Kangan Drive). “We made a decision that Kangan Drive was a better location for us for a couple of reasons. One is that it’s opposite Casey public which means we’ve created a health precinct. It also fitted with Casey council’s vision to develop a health and education precinct here with Chisholm TAFE and Federation Uni. “In our old site we were in a cul-de-sac and to achieve the growth we needed we were going to impact on the streetscape and residential comfort of residents in that area. “The third reason was that if we were to relocate all our acute services (to Kangan Drive) we could create a whole lot of new services for the community at Gibb Street. We’re thinking about it as the future home of rehabilitation but also housing some mental health services. We’re not giving up on Gibb Street. We are going to rebirth
Four key people have overseen the commissioning of St John of God’s new Berwick Hospital. CEO Lisa Norman, director of redevelopment Ron Deeble, clinical services redevelopment manager Allison Merrigan and furniture, fittings and equipment co-ordinator Paula Murphy. NARELLE COULTER sat down with the team two weeks after the hospital opened to talk about the challenges of delivering a new worldclass health facility on time and on budget. her if you like into something different.“ Group manager of facility redevelopments Ron Deeble then worked closely with clinical services redevelopment manager Allison Merrigan to determine if concept plans that had already been drawn up met the needs of the new hospital. “We had to look at each department as far as how physical and clinical relationships

After pushing a lot of departments around and changing things we were comfortable we could make it work within the building envelope we were given,“ Ron explained. The triangular Kangan Drive site belonged to Generation Health Care and the new hospital is now jointly owned by St John of God and Generation Health Care.
The team agrees that intense, thorough consultation with user groups has been one of the major reasons the opening of the hospital on 18 January went so smoothly. “Before health care professionals could even imagine the space we were talking to them about what they needed in the space, asking them to tell us what their functional requirements were,“ Lisa explained.

“We were constantly involving them right through the process. So the transition I think has been a whole lot easier. You’ve got to go for the hearts and souls of people before you actually physically relocate them.“ Ron Deeble agreed. “The user group process has been a major success here. Often user groups are not asked the right questions and don’t give the right an-
swers and you don’t end up with something that meets their needs. Having been involved in so many projects the day you open everyone is complaining about this and that, but in all honesty the requests for changes here have been absolutely minimal because of that input.“ “Normally two weeks in people are still trying to find the paperclips,“ added Allison. “ Whenever we got to a point when we had to make a decision it was always what was best for our patients, what’s best for our caregivers. That drove our decisions.“ All four agree that the choice of key partners in specialist hospital architects Silver Thomas Hanley, Wood and Grieve Engineers, and builder Hansen Yuncken was critical. They say all three firms were prepared to listen to user groups and understand their needs. “I say about hospitals that what we do is really important, but the way we do it is even more important,“ said Lisa. “I think for Hansen Yuncken they got the way we operated. "Our engineers, Wood and Grieve, they came to user group meetings. We had the head of engineers sitting and listening to nurses about what they want in a patient room.“ Paula Murphy joined the redevelopment team 18 months ago and faced the daunting task of managing a $13 million budget and purchasing thousands of line items, to outfit the new hospital with everything from chairs and carpet to high tech medical equipment. “We have transferred a lot of existing medical equipment and furnishings but I also had to balance that with furnishing the new units and buying additional equipment for the larger wards. And making it look aesthetically beautiful and a comfortable place,“ Paula explained. Paula estimates she ordered more than 10,000 items for the new hospital. Most
were tested before purchase with user groups and the consumer reference group. “The consumer reference group, which is a group of ex patients, took their job very seriously,“ said Allison. “ They’d sit on a chair and say that’s too hard or too soft or the handles aren’t right.“ Looming in the background of every decision was the deadline of 18 January. “A lot of our equipment had to be ordered months before Christmas so we could have it here on time. It was quite a challenge to have it all ready on time, on budget with great input and engagement,“ said Lisa. Lisa and her team then faced the task of transitioning 400 staff from Gibb Street to the new hospital. They also had to hire 250 new care givers bringing the total workforce to 650. More than 4000 people applied for the 250 new positions. “The geography change was significant. We had to prepare people used to working over 5000 square metres for a new workplace that covered 25,000 square metres and multiple levels,“ said Lisa. “There was a risk to culture around that so a lot of time was spent thinking about orientating care givers to a new environment. Introducing them to the new space and processes and polices that are going to be very different to their previous workplace.“ When the first patients arrived at the new hospital on 18 January Lisa Norman said she felt immensely proud “ not only of the team in this room, but of everybody’s input and involvement“. “This has taken years to pull it together. There is a wonderful feeling when you sit back and say ’We’ve actually done well’ and to see the look on the faces of caregivers who relocated on that day who say 'my new unit is beautiful', to see patients sitting in rooms looking comfortable in chairs and looking out at the view we knew we were creating, to see unit managers who are really proud of delivering care in their new environment. It’s just a wonderful feeling.“ Lisa has already received feedback from nurses that patients were calling on them less often
Now Opened at St John of God Berwick
because of the level of comfort in their rooms. “ What we’ve offered is a new way of delivering care which has been welcomed by the patients. It has also been noted by the health care professionals that we are offering something very different“. Allison Merrigan said she too felt enormous pride on the 18 January but also relief that the hospital had met all of its requirements. “It works as a hospital. Our patients are well cared for, our care givers are happy. I can see they are using it how it should be used. That’s why we built it. There is a bit of relief that it works.“ Allison tells the story of accompanying an end of life patient on his final journey to the new hospital. “I said to the family 'We have the most beautiful room for you’. When he got in there he said 'Yes, it is a beautiful room’. You could see the relief on his face. He knew it was his last trip. I am a nurse for a reason, I care for people, that’s why we did this. We did it for the people.“ For Paula Murphy the emotion of opening day will stay with her and she doubts any professional achievement can match it. “It was a really emotional day, being part of something so great for the community. I’ve worked for St John God for many years and always been proud of what we do, but just that day the emotion of seeing the care givers enjoying their space, loving the equipment, and also emotionally seeing the patients come in. Going up on the wards and seeing them there was really emotional.“ Lisa said the next 12 months was about embedding the services and practices now in operation and growing into the new space. There is room for another 64 beds on the fourth floor, which will be opened as demand requires. An eighth operating theatre will open at the end of March. A cafe in the foyer of the main building will open in late March. St John of God will run the cafe with partner Food Co. Since opening, the hospital is already 20 per cent busier than projected with higher than expected demand for overnight surgery and maternity services.

The pasto-
ral care team conducts weekly meditation sessions and a music therapist will also operate from the space. Patients can tune into services via the hospital’s internal television network. Quiet meditative music and videos will also be broadcast on the special channel. Ms O’Connor said that while the doctors and nurses take care of patients' physical ailments, the pastoral services team look after
their emotional and spiritual welfare. “I’d say that 80 to 90 per cent of what we do is the support of families and pastoral care. If you are religious and want to pray or talk about religious things we certainly can do that, but a lot of people just need a listening ear because something has gone wrong in their lives or they are undergoing a life transition. “The role is very very diverse.“
12378681-ACM06-18
The first Mass held in the chapel at the new St John of God Berwick Hospital was attended by four very special worshippers. St John of God sisters Florence Holligan, Ena Tobin, Columba Howard and Rosarii Carroll listened to the service delivered by St Michael’s Parish priest Father Jeff Kleynjans. The sisters then toured the new hospital and had lunch with CEO Lisa Norman. Director of mission integration Rhonda O’Connor said the sisters particularly enjoyed visiting the special care nursery as several of them had been mid-wives. “It was very special to have the four of them here for the day,“ Ms O’Connor said. The Sisters of St John of God was founded in Ireland in the 1870s, at a time when people were still suffering from the effects of the Great Famine. It was in a social context of poverty and great suffering, that a group of Irish Sisters of Bon Secours led by Bridget Clancy, founded the Congregation of the Sisters of St John of God. Today there are branches of the order scattered across Ireland, Australia, Pakistan and England. Ms O’Connor oversees a team of nine in pastoral care services, which is based adjacent to the hospital’s beautiful multi-faith chapel. “While we are a Catholic hospital, the chapel is open to everybody,“ Ms O’Connor explained. “Among our own staff and among our patients there is a very multi-cultural mix. We have a number of staff who are Muslim who need a space to pray so the chapel gives them a private space.

New services are critical Two brand new services opened at St John of God Berwick this week, rehabilitation and critical care. The rehabilitation unit offers services tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient and will respond to the differing levels of physical function depending on a patient’s condition following surgery, injury or illness. Rehabilitation nurse unit manager Kylie Peterson said the overall aim of the service was to maximise a patient’s recovery and independence. “This means patients are more likely to return home and engage in their normal activities sooner.“ The new critical care unit accommodates the Casey Cardinia region’s first intensive care service and will cater to patients who may need to be monitored closely following major surgery or those who have become unexpectedly very ill. The purpose-built facility provides privacy and normal daylight exposure which critical care nurse unit manager Debbie Sage said was important in aiding recovery. The opening of the Critical Care Unit marks a new chapter in St John’s long-standing history of delivering exceptional care to the region. Opening along with intensive care, is the cardiac/high dependency care service, which treats patients who have experienced a cardiac event such as a heart attack or patients with heart rhythm disorders who might require the insertion of a stent, pacemaker or internal cardiac defibrillator. The 10-bed high acuity Cardiac Unit will have access to a cardiovascular interventional laboratory which allows cardiologists to look inside the heart enabling them to diagnose and treat heart conditions.

An army of compassion By Narelle Coulter The blue shirted army of volunteers visible throughout St John of God’s new Berwick hospital exemplify the organisation’s values of service, care and compassion. Jenny Gillespie is one of the hospital’s newer volunteers joining the ranks last year. In that time Jenny has grabbed every opportunity that has come with the role. She helped act out patient scenarios during training drills before the new hospital opened. “I had a baby, a heart attack, pulmonary edema and a knee replacement,“ Jenny said, laughing. She has been a meet and greet volunteer, helped people fill out patient discharge satisfaction surveys and interviewed potential new volunteers. Her volunteer work led to the offer of paid work as a maternity ward clerk. Jenny is also a member of the hospital auxiliary, which fundraises for the hospital and helps out with large administrative tasks like mail outs. She said the qualities needed to be a good volunteer include empathy, friendliness, good communication skills and kindness. “You have to enjoy talking to people, helping others and taking the initiative,“ Jenny said. “The values of the hospital - like justice, excellence, hospitality and respect - you see those reflected in the volunteer program. “We are friendly and welcoming and strive to do our best and add value to the hospital. “We are part of a really important team.“ Other volunteer programs within the hospital include a community wig service, an oncology care bag group, spiritual and communion services and unit support.
St John of God Berwick Hospital volunteers Jenny Gillespie and Kevin Fewster with concierge Meg O'Connor. 177239 There are 90 registered volunteers at St John of God Berwick and that number will grow to 100 once the hospital is fully operational. Volunteers are all ages from university students wanting experience in a clinical setting to retirees wanting to make a contri-
bution to the community. “There are many opportunities for people who want to volunteer to use their life skills in a non-paid way but still add value to the hospital. I have really enjoyed my experience,“ said Jenny. She described the new hospital as “stunning“.
“As a volunteer you feel like you are a care giver too. You don’t feel any less important than a clinician. CEO Lisa Norman always acknowledges you and the doctors acknowledge you and appreciate what we do too. “We are an integral part of the hospital.“

Food for all
Healing art display
Hospital food’s bad reputation is set to be a thing of the past thanks to St John of God’s catering manger Karan Veersingh and his team. Mr Veersingh oversees a team of 28 in the hospital’s expansive industrial kitchen as they dish up 900 meals each week for patients and staff. Mr Veersingh is proud that all food is prepared fresh in-house. “I’d say our food compares to a restaurant menu in quality,“ Mr Veersingh said. “We have moved away from serving food in plastic contains as much as possible. For instance our soups are dished up in ceramic bowls." The quality of the food fits with St John of God’s ethos of offering a high level of comfort and acknowledges the role food plays in patient recovery. A new dishwasher, which works like a converyor belt, cleans dishes from up to 100 patients per hour. A huge Golden Top mixer can churn up to 80 litres of scone dough, cakes and batters at a time. Mr Veersingh has expanded and improved the menu, with day surgery and oncology patients given more choice with menu items like smoothies, custard and jelly. Patients can also choose their own sandwhich fillings.
By Narelle Coulter Exuberant paintings of roses, mangolia branches, oriental lilies and proteas by Berwick artist Laura White adorn the walls of St John of God’s community art space. Laura is the first artist invited to show her work in the art space, which will be used as a revolving gallery to promote the work of local artists. Laura, who was born in Argentina, specialises in botanical and nature-inspired oil painting. She says her “minimalist“ still life and floral works are influenced by her love of food, gardening and ceramics. Despite having no formal training, Laura quit her job as an executive assistant with Victoria Police to concentrate on her art full-time and says she was honoured to be involved in the launch of the new hospital. She hopes her exquisite botanical works will have a calming, meditative effect on patients waiting to see specialists. “For me initially I used art as a form of therapy for some health issues I was experiencing. Painting meant time out, meditation. “I love the feeling I get when I paint. I am drawn to painting thing I enjoy looking at.“ She describes her technique as ‘Flemish’ in deference to the Dutch masters, using multiple layering methods and translucent glazes to build up the colours and achieve depth and texture. Laura spends hours studying her subjects prior to commencing a new piece. Each one is carefully sketched out before she starts applying layers of light washes of oil paint, giving each piece a lush, translucent finish. She says her aim is to keep her composi-

Katrina, who described her trip to the Australian Open as “the best day” of her school holidays, is a regular player at the Pakenham Regional Tennis Centre on Webster Way. However, the 17 January match was her first taste of the big league. The opportunity was thanks to the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program, and according to mother Verona Atalla, has left Katrina with an even bigger love of the sport. “She’s really into playing tennis, it’s her fa-

Big steps for starters There has been a mixture of apprehension and excitement in the air for many local families, whose littlest members started their first day of school this week. Preps across Pakenham donned their toobig uniforms, packed their oversized backpacks with fresh books and stationary and set out for their big day. There were tears from students - and some parents - according to Pakenham Consolidated School principal Katrina Stewart. "It was their first day yesterday and naturally there were a few apprehensive families," Ms Stewart said. "There were a couple of tears shed from students and parents, but everyone settled into the swing of things quickly. "It was one of the smoothest starts I've seen at foundation level."
To help ease the 'empty nest' feeling that so many parents can relate to when dropping their children off for the first time, the school hosted a Foundation Parents Morning Tea. "A lot of parents get a bit of an empty feeling after having their kids at home for so long, so we hosted a lovely morning tea. "The event was very much appreciated by the parents." Pakenham Consolidated already has big plans in store for their youngest students, with an excursion to Warrook Farm already locked in this month. "We'll be putting all 106 students on a bus to visit the farm. "We don't usually think of putting them on a bus in the first term, but we want to ensure their first year of school is full of excitement. "We're really looking forward to the year ahead."

Basketball official runs foul of coach By Cam Lucadou-Wells Dandenong Basketball Association has launched an independent review after a coach was awarded an intervention order against a refereeing senior official for harrassment. Junior coach Josh Henshaw, of Berwick, was granted a final personal-safety intervention order against DBA referees adviser Allan Manhire at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 21 December. Mr Manhire - a former Victoria Police officer - was barred from approaching the coach for 18 months. DBA chief executive Graeme Allen said the review would look at policies, procedures and "training and education" of staff. "it's a situation we've taken most seriously. "I wasn't party to (the case) but if you look at the findings by the magistate, we could have managed things better." After a two-day hearing, magistrate MaryAnne MacCallum found that Mr Manhire spent a "disproportionate" amount of observing Mr Henshaw and his teams. On one occasion, Mr Manhire used his personal phone to film the coach as well as girl players at a game, seemingly in breach of pro-
tocols, she said. He had also harassed Mr Henshaw by interrupting and verbally abusing the coach during a game on 4 March. After the game, he yelled and taunted the coach, the judge found. Mr Manhire had spent an "inappropriate focus" on the "policing function" of his role, the judge found. His conduct was described as "protracted, intrusive and unjustified". She was not satisfied that Mr Manhire acted without malice and within his role as referee adviser. His primary duty was to encourage, educate and evaluate all referees. "It is destructive behaviour that has had the effect of seriously damaging the applicant's participation in a sport in which he has had a lifetime commitment," Ms MacCallum said. Mr Manhire denied he'd focused disproportionately on the coach, claiming he'd had four conversations with him in 10 years. The judge said Mr Manhire's evidence was "carefully manufactured". He "played down" his knowledge about the coach yet formed a view that the coach was "consistently bad", the judge noted. In court, several parents and a DBA referees supervisor Riley Wood supported Mr Henshaw's character and performance.

The judge rated them as highly credible, independent and strong witnesses. She noted that no referee had ever awarded a technical foul against Mr Henshaw. The court was told Mr Henshaw had been suspended twice by an independent Basketball Victoria tribunal for misbehaviour in 2017 - but the first lacked any substance. Ms MacCallum found there was little evidence of the first charge of threatening to strike a girl player, with the alleged 'victim' and her mother denying the incident took place. The second charge related to a heated verbal argument between Mr Henshaw and Mr Manhire after the on-court filming incident. Mr Manhire lodged a complaint that led to the tribunal suspending the coach for 18 months. Ms MacCallum said the coach's behaviour on that occasion was unacceptable, though noting that the emotion of being harassed for "many many months" had overtaken him. Mr Henshaw should have taken legal steps instead of "taking matters in your own hands", she said. DBA's review is expected to be completed by mid-February.
Freeway art brightens the day By Cam Lucadou-Wells A vibrant 50-metre mural inspired by childrens' artwork has been opened beneath Monash Freeway. The enormous design was chosen from winning entries by five Berwick Lodge Primary School students. It spans below the Sweeney Drive bridge that has been widened for extra inbound and outbound Monash Freeway lanes. The artwork strikes on themes such as community, connection, transport and progress - as well as the school's emblem, the helmeted honeyeater. It brightens the otherwise grey concrete mass, and is hoped to deter graffiti-taggers. Berwick Lodge principal Henry Gossek said the project was a wonderful initiative for the school's talented, budding artists. "This project has provided our students with a great opportunity to make a valuable artistic contribution to our city. "We are very grateful to have been invited to contribute." Roads Minister and Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said the mural was a "great initiative and improves conditions for local communities". The mural was installed by Blender Studio. The project involved the Monash Freeway Upgrade project, VicRoads, Transurban, the State Government, City of Casey and the school.

Crash injury By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man has been hospitalised in a serious condition after a tip-truck and a Ventura bus collided in Pakenham. The man in his 40s was treated by paramedics at the crash scene at the corner of Doherty Street and Princes Highway just after 7am on 7 February. He was taken to The Alfred hospital, an Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said. A man in his 60s was also treated at the scene, and refused to be transported to hospital.
Drink-driver busted A Berwick man has had his car impounded after returning a high range blood alcohol test. The 47-year-old man was intercepted by police on Springvale Road Nunawading about 3pm on Sunday, 4 February, for using his mobile phone. His licence was found to be disqualified and he returned a positive breath test of 0.248. His car was immediately impounded at a cost of $878.50 for 30 days. He will be charged on summons for use mobile phone, drive whilst disqualified, use unsafe vehicle and drink driving.
Injured after altercation By Brendan Rees A man has suffered minor injuries following an alleged altercation at a shopping centre in Hampton Park on Thursday, 1 February. Emergency services were called to the Hallam Road premises about 4.30pm, where a man in his 40s was located with minor injuries. It is believed an altercation occurred earlier between the male and another man, who had fled by the time police arrived.Police believe both parties are known to each other and no arrests have been made. Police are investigating. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Draft Pakenham Parking Precinct Plan Please give us your feedback
Offers for Abdul
The draft Pakenham Parking Precinct Plan has been prepared to help guide the future planning and management of car parking in Pakenham. This plan forms part of the Pakenham Structure Plan adopted in March 2017.
When 22-year-old tradie Abdul Ahmadi lost all his work tools after they were allegedly torched in the back of his ute in Cranbourne on 19 January, it left him $1500 out of pocket and unable to work. However, Star News received a call from a tiling company in Dandenong who wanted to reach out to Mr Ahmadi and offer him some replacement tools to help him get back on his feet. But Mr Ahmadi said as much as he was appreciative of the kind gesture, he politely declined. "I really appreciate that there are these kinds of people you can go out of their way and try and help," he said. "I have bought some very basic stuff so I can do some jobs and start generating some money through my business and then I can get back to where I was."
The draft plan will help support the development of the town centre. It aims to bring about an increase in parking spaces, which are needed to support the growth of the Pakenham Activity Centre. The plan aims to: • manage parking equitably and efficiently • co-locate medium-term parking in shared, off-street locations • encourage sustainable transport travel within and to the Pakenham Activity Centre • ensure the ongoing viability and development of Pakenham Activity Centre • improve parking for people with disabilities/limited mobility. View the draft plan at www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/pcpstrategy or in hard copy at Council’s Civic Centre, 20 Siding Avenue, Officer.

A nice gesture of sportsmanship was shown by young competitors at Berwick Little Athletics Open Day on 3 February. In the under 11s discus, a judging error led to a potential furore, with the wrong boy being awarded third place. However the boy and his father readily agreed that the fourth-placed boy had actually thrown their discus further. They deserve a medal for their good character in our book.
Couldn't do it if you tried Who was the unfortunate driver of an SUV who had managed to mount their vehicle on top of bollards in the Fountain Gate shopping centre? A tow-truck operator was left with a delicate operation to free the skewered vehicle on the night of 6 February.
Burnt out in Boolarra A Pakenham ute driver's first visit to Boolarra did not exactly go to driver.
Keen to impress his mate - as well as kids in front of the local general store - he dropped an 11-metre burnout. That cost the self-described racing-car driver a charge of careless driving - though he claimed he was in "complete control". But it got worse. As he explained to Dandenong Magistrates' Court, there had been apparently a serial hoon in a black ute plaguing the township for weeks. Hence, he also got the blame for dropping a 22-metre skidmark in front of the local police station on the same day. That last charge was eventually dropped. Given it was his first offence, the man escaped conviction and was directed to donate $300 to the court's charity fund.
Shoplifter's hard luck There was a shining example of mercy shown from the Dandenong Magistrates' Court bench. A 73-year-old man suffering terminal pancreatic cancer was spared serious punishment despite pleading guilty to a shoplifting spree at Cranbourne Plaza shopping centre in April. The man had flogged hundreds of dollars of goods - such as sunglasses, a travel case, shirts, hats and pyjamas. They were intended to be gifts for family. He was visiting them during what was possibly his last trip overseas. Magistrate Julie O'Donnell noted the goods were all recovered as well as the man's age and ill health. The pensioner was convicted and put on a good-behaviour bond.

Amelia finds her way around Cranbourne East Primary School. 177306 about not being by her daughter’s side all the time. “With the epilepsy side of things obviously the seizures can be quite prolonged so I’m nervous not being there.” Though she has no doubts Amelia will embrace school and engage with her peers. “She’ll absolutely give it 130 per cent. I know she’ll fit in and make friends.” Asked what Amelia dreams are in life, Ms Finnigan she she one day hoped to be a doctor. “She’s at the hospital a lot and sees lots of sick kids so she wants to help,” she said.

Amelia has been excited for months to start her first day of school. It’s a major milestone for the five year-old who has cerebral palsy, severe epilepsy and asthma - but she has never let her disability stop her from living life. Mum Shae Finnigan said she was extremely proud of her daughter making it to her big day at Cranbourne East Primary School on Thursday, 1 February. “She’s very excited. She was up bright and early this morning and telling me that today was the day,” she said. “She’s been looking forward to it for a long time.” “She’s got her older brother in grade one at the school so being with him has been a massive thing for her.” “We weren’t sure if she would ever get to mainstream school so we’re obviously absolutely pumped and wrapped.” Ms Finnigan says she was blown away by the support of school staff. “They’ve been just amazing. They’ve trained 30 staff in epilepsy and 20 in her actual emergency medication.” Amelia, who can lose her balance often, needs to wear ankle-foot orthosis, which is a support to control the position and motion of her ankle. She will also have a full-time classroom aid. “She’s got restrictions through mobility. She gets around very well but tires very easily.” “The way the classroom’s set out they’ve moved the tables wider than normal, so she’s got plenty of room to get through and if she does fall she doesn’t hit her head,” she said. Ms Finnigan admits she was very nervous

OPINION Seeing red Traffic lights are urgently needed at the intersection of Clyde-Five Ways and Twyford roads in Clyde. With new houses being built just down the road the traffic has increased dramatically over the last 12 months. Drivers are taking risks turning in front of traffic and driving down the gravel edge because they're sick of waiting for a gap in traffic. The problem is only going to get worse as more houses go in - make the developers improve the infrastructure of the surrounding area and contribute to the community! Annie Lamb, Pakenham.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On Tuesday the 6 February the Berwick Star News Facebook page shared a story about the City of Casey Council's wish list for $2.7 billion of road and rail investment ahead of the 2018 state election. It was reported that no state political party had yet to commit to any items listed by Casey council. The story brought forward some strong opinions. Here is how they reacted online: Belinda Burford: I worry for the future of our food production industries if we keep re-zoning and selling off farm land for housing estates. Part of the appeal of buying in Casey was the semi-rural feel. It's got to stop somewhere!
Steven Breen: Seriously now.... Where do these Councillors Get Off here? It is because of our greedy Councillors who love inappropriate Development, who love collecting rates and more rates, who are in the Developers Pockets that our area has Exploded with new estates and more houses. It is because of these Councillors that more houses equals more people living here which equals huge pressure on our trains and roads! This is how our Councillors get development done in Casey.... http://www. theage.com.au/.../lib-donors-poised-tohit...

Tomorrow's Cranbourne West soccer and cricket stars will soon be enjoying modern facilities thanks to funding from the State Government. More than $500,000 in funding from the State Government will go towards the development of Barton Recreation Reserve, Cranbourne West. Minister for Sport John Eren visited Barton Recreation Reserve on Wednesday, 24 January to announce $513,422 to build a new pavilion with works expected to start in May this year. The pavilion will be fitted out with six female-friendly change rooms, social space, undercover viewing area, two unisex umpire change rooms and community spaces. Mr Eren said the upgrade was desperately needed, with new local housing developments in recent years leading to a shortage of local sporting facilities. "With more families choosing to call Cranbourne West home, we're making sure this community has the sporting facilities they need and deserve," he said. Mr Eren added the pavilion would provide a home for new soccer and cricket clubs that will be created in the area. City of Casey Deputy Mayor Amanda Stapledon said the project would ensure the facility meets the needs of the local sporting community and provided residents with plenty of opportunity to get active. "The funding for this pavilion development complements Council's existing project to construct three soccer pitches, one cricket oval, car parking and landscaping," she said. "These pitches and oval will mean that the expected 12,000 incoming residents to Cranbourne West will have access to higher quality soccer and cricket facilities valued at more than $7 million in infrastructure. Member for Cranbourne Jude Perera said the pavilion would give current and future clubs a "real boost" to attract new female players, and keep on top of their rivals.
Minister for Sport John Eren, centre announced $513,422 that will go towards building a new pavilion towards the development of Barton Recreation Reserve, Cranbourne West. Casey Councillors Cr Amanda Stapledon and Cr Rosalie Crestani, right welcomed the funding. Picture: CONTRIBUTED The pavilion is funded through the Labor Government's $120 million Community Sports Infrastructure Fund, which is upgrading grassroots grounds across Victoria. The announcement will complete a major
capital works project for Council, which was identified within Councils Leisure Facilities Development Plan. Works are expected to be completed by February next year. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Making your bicycle identifiable.
Victoria Police says the best lock to keep your bicycle safe is a D lock. The D Lock (also known as a U lock) is a solid, curved metal lock that generally provides a higher level of security and deterrence that cable or chain locks.
There are several important steps to take when locking your bicycle. Victoria Police recommends cyclists use bicycle parking infrastructure and remember to remove items of equipment that could be easily stolen including lights, computers, panniers and pumps.
Victoria Police say if your bicycle is lost or stolen, the chances of it being returned are improved if: You keep a record of your bicycle details and a photograph of your bicycle and engrave your driver's licence number. Engrave the letter 'V' (for Victoria) followed by your driver's licence number on the frame.

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region
Walking the talk for kids By Narelle Coulter Heads turn when John McMahon roars into the carpark of the Waterman Business Centre in Narre Warren on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. John is bald, covered in tattoos, wears black jeans and sleeveless black hoodies and has piercings in both ears. His love of motorcycles and his plain talking, no-bullshit attitude has helped him build a successful business turning around the lives of troubled teenage boys and their families. John, aka The Rev, is the founder of Motov8, a business that takes him into schools around the country to give motovational talks to boys aged 11-17. Driven by his own troubled background, John is now expanding Motov8 to include seminars, workshops, one on one coaching, a clothing line and a book. Motov8 was born nine years ago when John was working as a chaplain for the MotoGP and World Super Bikes. He had also been involved in a company called California Superbike School which taught people how to corner motorcycles and go fast from a scientific point of view. “Sitting there on Phillip Island it dawned on me the very same principles a professional racer draws on to not only stay on track but win apply in real life.“ John was employed as chaplain at Kambrya College at the time and was looking for something different where he could have a greater influence on the lives of disengaged teenagers. He left Kambrya, took a part time chaplaincy role at Berwick Primary School, and devoted his spare time to launching Motov8. “I’d been kicked out of two high schools as a teenager so I had no idea about business,“ he cheerfully admits. “I needed to learn how to put a website together, how to market, I didn’t have the money to brand all my stuff to the point where I wanted to but I was very secure in my brand. “I was Mr Motov8 long before I had the cars and bikes and clothing, but I had a vision to have that stuff and use it and leverage it and grow my business.“ John’s story is integral to his business success. Born in Belfast, he moved to Berwick with his family when he was 11. “Everyone loved my accent and I had a crowd of people around me but after my accent disappeared people started treating me differently. I was teased because I was fat. They called me McFat. “I’m actually not bitter about that, I’m sort of glad it happened because it took me on my journey.“
John addresses a group of high school students. Kicked out of school for skipping class, stealing and graffiti he got a job as an apprentice pastry chef. After night shift, he would sleep then catch a train to Dandenong where he hooked up with a gang. “There was lot of fighting, theft, lots of destruction of property. “At 18 I was a mess. I was a liar, a thief and everything was catching up with me.“ A failed suicide attempt was the low point until a youth leader took John under his wing, giving him the time and attention his own father had failed to provide. His mentor encourage John to speak to a youth group. “At end of it in the car on the way home he said ’Mate, I’ve spoken with hundreds of kids and young people but you are going to speak with thousands’. No one had ever said anything to me like that other than my mum telling me she loved me. “That was 26 years ago and I can’t tell you how many thousands of young people I have spoken to now.“ John knew he had a product that could solve a problem, he just had to convince schools that his seminars were value for money. “I needed to learn how to deliver my value proposition to schools. Schools are very big on data. I had to basically say to them you can spend this money on me now, which might seems a lot, or you can spend 10 or 15 times that amount over the life of their education.“ John tells teenage boys his story, grabbing their attention with his appearance, his shoot from the hip style and his Harley and racing bikes which are all part of his finely calibrated presentations. “I zig when everyone else is zagging. I’m disruptive, I’m memorable and I’m authentic. “I wanted to help young males make smarter, more informed choices. The lack of social and emotional intelligence are the two big deficits in young people’s lives. Most young males can’t shake someone’s hand properly and look them in the eye. Over connected and out of balance and parents are lost as to what to do.“
Want to prepare government or corporate tenders and applications?
John McMahon has turned his difficult childhood into a thriving business. John also wants to inspire boys to be entreprenurs. No one taught him about entreprensurship when he was a kid and he wants others to be inspired by his unorthodox professional journey to pursue their dreams too. And those who inspire him? He nominates Richard Branson, Tony Robbins and Grant Cardone. John has big goals for Motov8. He wants it to be a household name in Australia and admires the brand reach of Red Bull and Virgin. Last month he met with a PR agency in Sydeny hoping to lift his personal profile. He admires the media work of Michael Carr-Gregg but would like to be an alternative voice in the
child psychology space. John is dictating a book, with the typically confronting title Screw You. He hopes the book will be out by July. “It’s given me a great laugh because I never imagined myself as an author,“ he said, grinning. His clothing range will be officially launched at Melbourne’s Ego Expo this month. He wants to expand his seminars and his brand to NZ, the UK and US. “I want to be known for helping young guys turn their lives around and the lives of others around.“
Let me guide you through the process so you can submit an application. I understand the language of government and business and have knowledge and experience that will improve your chances of success”.

It’s a debate that divides opinion. How much is too much? From looking at our mobile devices and computer monitors in the workplace to watching television or using an iPad at home, it’s now almost impossible to avoid screen time. It is the way we live our 21st century lives as we are surrounded by artificial screens and digital displays of all shapes and sizes - all of which are emitting potentially dangerous levels of light energy. The question on many people’s minds now is, are we doing enough to enforce limitations on our children’s screen time? As school has just resume for thousands of children around the country, now is a good time to set boundaries and to shine a (natural) light on the situation at home and in the classroom. Restricting a child’s screen time at home and school can be challenging for parents and educators alike. I have seen children have meltdowns and screaming fits because they are told they cannot use an iPad or computer in the classroom. Forget 1927’s pop song “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream“ - as “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for iScreens“ is more appropriately in sync with today’s youth.
Controlling kids' screen time is a constant battle for parents. However, setting boundaries and rules pertaining to screen time for children at home will help them develop other important life skills - as will completing chores, outdoor activities and advanced social interactions. At school, educators are encouraged to promote student engagement in differentiated ways - balancing a student’s learning across a technological and non-technological tightrope of subjects. Balance is key. So, what is an acceptable amount of screen time for children? Experienced primary school teacher and parent blogger, Fiona Froelich suggests that children between the age of five and 10 should not be exposed to screens for more than an hour a day, while children between the age of 10 and 12 should not be exposed to any form of digital technology for more than two hours a day.

Lifestyle choice: Acreage, Resort, Views This is a great family home located in a tranquil setting, close to shops, transport, and facilities (approximately 11 minutes by car to Pakenham). Situated on approximately 3.75 acres & with sweeping views down to your own private valley, the house itself is more like your own private resort getaway with everyone having their own space to enjoy. Entry is via a long private driveway and features designated private parking areas for your guests. There is also a carport and big double garage located at the rear. The home itself has 4 good sized bedrooms- master with WIR and Ensuite-, with the remaining 3 bedrooms spread across the house so as to ensure privacy. Two of the bedrooms are located on the top level with their own built in desks overlooking the property and providing spectacular views. You’ll never drag the kids away from that and they’ll actually be asking to work on their laptops! A large family bathroom is located in such a way as to be accessible to all 3 bedrooms and is very modern and fully renovated. The kitchen is located on the lower level and has stainless steel appliances and breathtaking views. A separate informal dining area and family room open off from here, and sliding doors lead out to a massive covered entertaining area and deck overlooking the homestead, complete with ‘outdoor’ kitchen perfect for cooking those messy meals or for when you want to entertain the whole crew. There is also a formal dining room and lounge on the lower level with views to the pool area, and a large laundry. There is ample space downstairs to set up a study or home office as well. But the living and entertaining and guest space does not end there! To the side of the house is an enormous fully decked entertaining area overlooking the valley and surrounded by beautiful trees. Here you have an enormous salt water solar heated pool and 6 seater spa and enough room to put up tables and chairs and banana lounges for the whole crew. Accessed from the fully fenced pool area is your very own private gymnasium. With a wall of mirrored cabinet doors, TV points, split system, and sliding glass doors, this gym can also be used for a home studio for that budding artist or hobby enthusiast. Above the double garage is the “Man Cave, oversized Rumpus, Guest Suite” of your dreams. With a bathroom, kitchen, bar, coonara, heating, cooling, and ample room for the billiard table, lounge, and then some, PLUS its own private balcony overlooking the pool and property, the kids (and hubby) will be fighting over this space. With Daikin ZONED ducted heating and Refrigerated Cooling to the whole of the house, 60,000 litres water tank, quality fixtures and fittings throughout, the property is a ‘move straight in start enjoying’ house so you can begin your new life from day one. Tradies, hobby farmers, or those looking for a lifestyle change should definitely call the Agent to make a time to check this one out!!

Simply put, Penny Haringsma is an inspiration. She is a cancer survivor of epic optimism and a fixture at Casey Relay for Life since 2010. Eight years on, she's undeterred by the twice-diagnosis of secondary cancer. It was found in her bones in 2016 and in her liver last September. Her relay journey began soon after the Berwick nurse was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37. At the time, her children Zoe and Riley were 5 and 3 respectively. They remain her driving force, she said. The first relay was overwhelming - a 24hour team relay, celebration and memorial of cancer survivors and lost loved-ones. "I was going through chaemotherapy. It was just so emotional - I had never been so touched by cancer. "It brings people together." Since then her team A Penny For Your Thoughts has grown to a legion of up to 50 family and friends. Ms Haringsma hopes to raise at least $5000 - which would her to nominate the cancer research beneficiary. Last year she opted for blood and secondary cancers. "We're all trying to find a cure because we all need it. "Even if it's not for ourselves then it's for someone we know and someone we love." As for her own plight, Ms Haringsma says she was facing her own mortality a few months ago. Recently she has responded well to chaemotherapy. Her health battles put things into perspective.

Local day of Reckoning By Andrew Copley The hopes and dreams of a Devon Meadows family will be riding on the shoulders of a greyhound with ‘a huge heart’ in Saturday night’s $67,000 Group 2 Cranbourne Cup. Reckoning, trained by Peter Presutto with the help of wife Natalie and their three sons, is primed for a bold showing in the Cranbourne Cup after drawing the coveted box one. He scored a brilliant heat win on the weekend, his 13th win from 41 starts, just eight days after running third in the Traralgon Cup behind the brilliant Poke The Bear, who is trained at Pearcedale by Seona Thompson. “Box one helps but you’ve got to use it. He can be hit or miss at the start, but if he begins like he did in his heat he will be right in it,” Presutto said of Reckoning. “I train a small team of four greyhounds and it’s a real team effort. My wife Natalie and our sons James (24), Aaron (22) and Daniel (19) all help out with the dogs, and we will all be there on Saturday night cheering Reckoning on.” Presutto, 53, bought his first greyhound in 1986 and says a win in the Cranbourne Cup would be his finest achievement. “I’ve won a Healesville Cup and made several other feature finals, but winning the Cranbourne Cup would be extra special. Not necessarily for me or the fact it’s my local track, but mainly because I feel that Reckoning deserves to win a big race.” “He has been a bit unlucky in some of his runs but I am so proud of him because he is really gutsy and has a huge heart, a huge motor and he also has quite a bit of ability.” “At home he loves a pat and he loves a scratch and he’s extremely laid back and relaxed. That changes when I he goes to the track, though, because all he wants to do when
Reckoning with trainer Peter Presutto. he gets there is race,” he said. Making the appearance of Reckoning in the Cranbourne Cup even more of a family affair is the fact that his breeders and owners, Bill and Serg Buccilli, are related to Presutto. “Bill and Serg are my second cousins and they’ve had a lot of success in greyhound rac-
Picture: CLINT ANDERSON ing. It’s a privilege to train a greyhound for them, especially one as good as Reckoning,” Presutto said. Reckoning has amassed $63,495 in prize money so far, with the Cranbourne Cup offering up a $47,000 first prize. A third local greyhound, He Shall Johnny,
trained at Pearcedale by David Crawford, will also contest the race. The Cranbourne Cup is the fourth and final leg of greyhound racing’s 2017/18 Gippsland Carnival, which began with the Sale Cup on Boxing Day, followed by the Warragul and Traralgon Cups in January.
Half a mil in prize money for the speedy Up Hill Jill By Molly Haines Milestones were made on Saturday night at Cranbourne when Victorian speedster Up Hill Jill cracked half a million dollars in prize money by winning a heat of the Group Two Casey Steel Cranbourne Cup. Bred, owned, and trained by Lara resident David Geall, Up Hill Jill continues to achieve heights he didn’t think was possible. “Winning our first group one ($200,000 Topgun invitational) with Jill was very emotional, but she continues to amaze us,” David Geall said. “Everything has that extra excitement when you have been with the dog from go to wow. This ride with Jill is what dreams are made of,” “Cracking the half a million dollar mark in prize money is something that we haven’t been focussing on, but it is definitely an enjoyable one.” Up Hill Jill has drawn box seven in the $67,000 Cranbourne Cup which will be run on Saturday 10 February and is the fourth and final leg of Greyhound Racing Victoria’s Gippsland Carnival.
Geall believes that the odd box may just work in her favour. “Not many people would say they are happy with box seven, but Jill tends to perform very well from odd number boxes.” If Up Hill Jill’s Topgun win in October where she also jumped from box seven, is anything to go by she is in with every chance. Up Hill Jill is blessed with blistering early speed, and she will have to use every ounce of it in her 62nd start (33 wins, 18 seconds and three thirds) as she faces the new kid on the block, local Poke The Bear. “Poke The Bear is a very fast dog and he has proven that he can perform on the big stage by winning the Traralgon Cup before the Cranbourne Cup heats, but I have so much trust in Jill because she always does her best,” Geall said. “I was wrapped with Jill’s heat win on Saturday night considering she missed the jump but was still able run the fastest first split in the heats.” “I am also expecting improvement heading into the final because she tends to go better at her second look at a track.”

Maroons emerge victors By Russell Bennett The WGCA’s Twenty20 Kookaburra Cup has been dominated by the ‘big four’ of Kooweerup, Cardinia, Tooradin and Pakenham since its inception but on Sunday at Toomuc Reserve Upper Beaconsfield, broke through to defeat two of those and show the real potential that lies within. Facing the nightmare draw of Tooradin in the semi-final on the front ground before a potential matchup with Cardinia on the Premier ground if they were to win through, the Maroons remained undaunted. Instead, they let their abilities shine and showed real creative flair with both bat and ball. Tooradin batted first on the front ground and, unsurprisingly, led by a Tom Hussey half-century (66) amassed 9/150 from their 20 overs. But some impressive bowling from skipper Bathiya Perera (2/18) and young spinner Harry Sharlassian (2/24) played a key role in keeping the Gulls to a reachable total. Then, in Upper Beaconsfield’s top and middle orders during their chase, they showed they meant business - attacking whenever possible and constantly looking for gaps. Perera was part of a 52-run opening stand with Zenith Wickramanayaka before Kulith Rabel (29 not out) and Julian Bayard (28) were instrumental in securing the Maroons’ berth in the final with seven balls to spare. Russell Lehman (3/27) threatened to blow the game open with a pair of LBWs to remove marquee man Kaushalya Weeraratne (from HSD) and Jonathon Caderamanpulle, but the Maroons steadied. In the other semi-final, meanwhile, Lang Lang (113) was simply no match for Cardinia’s (1/114) rampaging top order. Batting first in the decider against the Bulls,
Upper Beaconsfield broke through on Sunday for a memorable win in this season's WGCA Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Twenty20 Kookaburra Cup final. 177432 the Maroons continued right where they left off with the willow - reaching 5/151 thanks to a string of contributions from the likes of Perera (20), Caderamanpulle (36), and Bayard (24). Twenty20 is such a game of momentum, and Cardinia wasn’t able to muster any in its response - rolled for 104 with Perera taking 4/15 from his four overs in a man-of-thematch performance and Will Haines snaring 3/11. In the wake of the clash, Bayard was particularly honest about what the Cup win means for his club. “I honestly can’t remember how many times I’ve gone to that semi-final weekend - we’ve
left after we’ve either lost the semi-final or lost the grand final,” he said. “We’ve been there a number of times and haven’t been able to get the chocolates, and we’ve had some pretty close losses along the journey so to finally be able to win it was a tremendous result for the club and hopefully we can use that as a springboard for the rest of the club going towards the back half of the season.” Fittingly, the win came against the same Cardinia side the Maroons are battling against to secure a Premier finals berth. “We have to overtake them in the last couple of rounds so it gives us confidence that we can beat sides in the top four when we play
our best cricket,” Bayard said, adding that Sunday’s result proved the Maroons have the talent to match it with any side. It’s just about putting it together when it matters most. “That’s what Bath has been pushing and trying to instil in us - you can’t just leave it up to one or two blokes to get the job done,” Bayard said. “If you want to be competitive with the best sides, you have to step up when it’s your time to go.” Finally, Bayard praised Perera, not only for his stellar play, but he’s outstanding leadership - empowering the likes of Haines and Sharlassian in the big moments. “He’s brought us all together,” Bayard said. “It’s no secret that we’ve got a mixture of blokes who’ve been around the club for a number of years, and blokes who’ve come to the club from different backgrounds in the past couple of years. People would think there’s probably a segregation, but we’re all really good mates.” Particular recognition from Sunday must also go to the Pakenham Cricket Club and its tireless volunteers for once again hosting the event over its two main grounds. In WGCA Premier grade action across the weekend, Pakenham skipper Dom Paynter was nothing short of astonishing as he bowled his side to victory in yet another low-scoring clash with famous rival, Kooweerup. Defending just 120, Pakenham - led by Paynter’s 6/15, including 5/0 off his final six overs - dismissed the Demons for just 114. Tooradin (3/162 dec. and 1/89), meanwhile, ran out of time in its quest to secure outright points against Emerald (150 and 184); Ben Maroney (67 not out) and Dan Salvato (64) steered Cardinia (7/256) past Clyde (203) at Lineham Oval; and Perera's Upper Beaconsfield (7/187) escaped a scare to overcome Merinda Park (9/184) at Donnelly Reserve.

The newly rebranded South East Melbourne Netball Club took a brave risk at independence, and it's paying off. Branching away from their former home, Narre South, where they were aligned with the junior football club and cricket club, Vice President (Admin) Narelle Jenkins and the rest of the club's committee decided to make a change ahead of this season, moving the entire club to Carlisle Park in Cranbourne North. The club was initially founded in 2012 as the Narre South Lions, but will now be known as South East Melbourne, a decision Jenkins said comes down to what's right for the increase in netball's profile in the region. "We never had courts of our own; down there at Narre South, they have the oval and cricket nets, but no courts, so from 2012, we have always acquired different courts around the area for our members," she said.
"We have 36 registered playing teams, which is substantial, and we would be the largest social junior netball club in the region; and we're now independent. "It means we've broken away from the football club; in the football realm, netball is a lower priority; we could use the club rooms but it wasn't really ours, but now we're set up at Carlisle Park and the council has given that to us. "We have 220 families that young kids can call home; we do all our training and can accommodate everyone." Jenkins said the move was first put on the table during a meeting mid-last year between the netball and football clubs, with the angst between the two forcing them to make a decision. "The football club came to us, and they put it on the table that we don't have a lot to do with each other, and that there was no benefits for us, which is true; we took that to our members and spoke about it, and our members wanted to break away," she said. She believes it is the right call and should set a precedence for similar junior netball clubs to follow suit. "We want other clubs to perhaps look at us as being independent, and follow certain things about what we've done," she said. "Netball has grown substantially in the last few years, so many girls are just loving it, so it made sense."

A win for wily Willy
Cardinia Waters lefty Ray Naylor shows off his style.
Huge improvement from Cardinia side CARDINIA WATERS BOWLS The Cardinia Waters Pennant bowlers were determined to perform better last week after having a winless week in the round prior. And perform better they did, with three wins and a very close loss a particularly good result which saw the Saturday Division 4 side go back into the top four. They went to Noble Park and won a close game, 76-70. The big winner was John Van Vugt's side - also featuring Dennis Patmore (lead), Gunter Baumbach(second) and Simon Koning (third). They jumped away to a 13-0 lead and stayed in front all day. A seven on the 14th end sealed their 29-13 win. The other winners were Phyl Wynd with Gary Bondfield, Bill Tippelt and Graeme Taylor. They won only ten ends but a five on the fourth end made the difference in an 18-17 win. Skipper Bill Hite with Donny Gibson, Rae Richardson and Mick Knight were behind all day but never let the opposition get away in a 19-15 loss. Bryan Stevens skipped for Marion Stevens, Pat Hutchinson and John Hutchinson. They led early but trailed 20-8 on the 18th end, however a good finish, 7-0 over the final three ends, saw the fi-
nal score finish at 20-15. The Saturday 12-a-side team hosted Noble Park and came out winners, 63-50. Len Judge skipped for Ric Smart, Michele Bondfield and Marie Stephenson. They led early but were level 10-apiece on the tenth end. With all four playing well, they then outscored the visitors 14-4 on the run home to win 24-14. Skipper John Carr with Brad Potter, Bryan Anderson and Gary Salomons had a close game but a five on the 19th end helped them to a 19-12 win. Cliff Heath with Jim McCallum, Lindsay Cameron and Tom Gogan had several lead changes and a five on the 15th put them in front but they lost the run home and lost a close one, 24-20. They are now only three points outside the four. The Midweek Division 2 side went to Cranbourne RSL and had a big win, 78-45. Phil Wynd skipped for Gary Bonfield, Dennis Stephenson and Ray Naylor. Two fours and a seven in the first seven ends set the pattern for a big win, 28-12. Bryan Stevens with Simon Koning , Gunter Baumbach and Graeme Tay-
lor scored nine in the first two ends and never looked back, and they went on to win 32-15. Skipper David Blake had the close one. With Donny Gibson, Bill Tippelt and Bile Hite he won only nine ends but a seven on the sixth end gave them the lead. It was up and down from then on and finished in an 18-18 scoreline. They hold sixth pace on the ladder. The Midweek Division 3 side played better than a bottom side when they hosted Cranbourne RSL. They were well behind at the break but fought back well to lose by only two shots, 58-56. Skipper John Carr with Dennis Patmore, Marie Stephenson and Gary Salomons were down five to ten after ten ends, then they scored a five and surged ahead to win 24-16. John Bacon skipped for Brian Byrne, Bryan Anderson and Jenny Edmonds. They trailed early, got in front but lost the last two ends and the game, 20-18. Mick Knight skipped for Alan Copley, Doug Eastick and John Hutchinson. They had a shocker up until the 14th end when they trailed 22-5. To their credit they never gave in and rallied to with the final seven ends to lose 22-14 and almost won the day for the club.
PAKENHAM GOLF Willy Carmichael finally brought his 'A Game' and was victorious with 42 points in the Stableford event on Monday last week. The runnerup was Mick Boyd, who had 41 points and is making his way back to his deserved singlefigure handicap. On Wednesday the A Grade winner was Dean M Jones, who recently had a lesson with Scott (Pakenham's touring professional, Scott Laycock), with 43 points. Richard Murphy controlled his draw to finish with 41 points which, was good enough for second. The B Grade winner was Peter Korteman with 40 points, ahead of Terry Bull with 39 points. Bryan Delaney won the Supercomp with 24 points around the front nine. A bit of irony occurred when Hayden Bristow was given a pair of sunglasses from his son and then proceeded to win the nearest the pin on the second hole - with the prize being a pair of sunglasses. Congratulations to the two players who won with their scratchie ticket - Frankie Chiu and Geoff Percival. In the Wednesday Twilight competition, the winner with the best score of the year was Mike Popof with 26 points. The minor placings were decided by countback, with Brian Webster beating John Hutcheon and Theo Van Roy. On Thursday the ladies played for the Monthly Medal and there was much better scoring. Anne Donovan won the medal and was the "Silver Spoon" qualifier with 67 nett. Yvonne Tisdale played steady golf to win A Grade with 71 nett. On Friday Stephen Northcott won the day with 41 points, while Harry Elyasie won big with his scratchie ticket. On Saturday, for the Monthly Medal, it become apparent that the players don't play Stroke often enough as the average time for a round is 30 minutes longer when they play this format. The club will have a marshal driving around over the next few Medal days to try and reduce the time taken. It's fair to say that if a player's start time is seven minutes behind the group in front, then that should be the same time at the completion of the round. The A Grade winner was Harry Elyasie with 69 nett on a countback from Peter Reilly. The C Grade winner was Travis Ramsdale with 66 nett which was good enough to beat his good friend Adam Wadeson, who finished with 67 nett. The B Grade winner and Monthly Medal winner was Shane Franzi with 65 nett, with Leo DeJager not far away on 68 nett. The Medal of Medalists was also decided with Matt Boon victorious with 72 nett. Sunday specialist William Gourley struck again on Sunday, winning with 39 points on a countback from Brain Bateup, Albert Hill and Jarrod Hill.
Hear the Lions roar as rowdy Ringwood gets resolution PAKENHAM BOWLS SATURDAY It was a far from quiet start for Pakenham One (Div 1) at home last Saturday with their opponents, Ringwood, up and about and wanting to make a noise. However it was the Lions who got the early lead and by halfway they had two rinks well up and one just trailing for an overall lead of seven shots. There was one rink bleeding badly but it was more than offset by the big lead established by Geoff Van Vugt's crew. With three quarters of the game completed, it was still Pakenham by 10 shots, with two rinks well in front and that was how it played out with Pakenham winning by nine shots and collecting 14 Pennant points. The best rink with a score of 30-7 and 17 ends was Geoff Van Vugt (S), Ryan Drummond (3), Kerry Lewis (2) and Graeme Wilde (L). The ones still hold fifth spot on the ladder, now 14 points behind Ringwood. They have another home game next round against Burpakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au
wood District. Pakenham Two (Div 2) were away at Keysborough for an experience they would rather forget. During the first few ends of the game, Pakenham held the lead on three of the four rinks but unfortunately, by the halfway mark, the locals had reversed that situation and it was they who were ahead on three rinks with almost double the Lions' score. By the end of the day, Pakenham lost all four rinks with an overall score of 99-59. Somehow, the twos held onto eighth spot on the ladder, now nine points ahead of Narre Warren and six behind Hampton Park. Their next opponent will be Cranbourne RSL away. Even though playing away and on grass, at second on the ladder against seventh, Pakenham Three (Div 4) would have been favoured to win at Berwick last Saturday. As expected, the Wickers jumped away to an early lead while the Lions were still coming to grips with the green. However Pakenham was slow to re-
spond and by the halfway mark was down on three rinks and facing a big hurdle if it was to make a come back. In the end, two rinks did manage to outscore their opponents and salvage four Pennant points but it was too little too late and with the other two rinks well down it was Berwick who won, 92-71. Pakenham's best rink was Paul Walter (S), John Donazzan (3), Gian Pianezzola (2) and Trent Bedford (L) with a healthy score of 26-10. Despite the loss, the three's retained second spot on the ladder, now only seven points ahead of Mulgrave Country Club in third. They face a tough home game next round against clear ladder leaders Cheltenham. Also on the road last Saturday, Pakenham Four (Div 6) were bayside at Carrum in a battle of fourth versus third. Things looked promising for the Lions at first but by halfway the locals were ahead on two rinks, all square on a third and up overall by 22 shots. Pakenham fought back from that point onwards and
made a close game of it, however they came home with only one rink up and lost overall 88-74. The one winning rink was Peter Bott (S), Bill Bosch (3), Ray Leggett (2) and Fiona Samson (L) with an 18-17 score card. The Fours dropped from fourth to fifth on the ladder. They have a home game next round against Churchill Waverley Golf. Joining the Ones for a win at home, the six-a-side Pakenham Five, at seventh on the ladder, played host to the Dandenong Club (fourth). For some reason the locals struggled a little at first but by the halfway mark seemed to have found another gear and were up on one rink and level on the other. By the completion of play they had both rinks up and had a satisfying overall score of 47-30. Best rink was Lindsay Stevenson (S), Luis Aguilar (2) and Norm Buckley (L) with a score of 25-14. The win elevated the Fives from seventh to fifth on the ladder. They play Hampton (ninth) away next round. Thursday, 8 February, 2018
