The Pakenham community is rallying behind the family of a "selfless, compassionate" father-of-two who lost his life in a motorbike accident earlier this year. Brad Buckland, 30, was tragically killed when his bike collided with a four wheel drive in February - devastating his wife Sarah and their three young children. One of Mr Buckland's closest friends, Glenn Jones, has created The Buckland Charity Night fundraiser to support the grieving family and pay respects to a "good-hearted bloke." "He was the type of guy who would be on his feet at 3am if you've broken down somewhere - ready to drive an hour to help you out," he said. "Everyone who knew him thought he was selfless. "The least we can do is ease the burden for Sarah and the kids while she's away from work." Their close friendship blossomed in the early 2000s when they started an apprenticeship together at Cummins. "We went out with the caravans a few times and it just grew from there," Mr Jones said. The traumatic circumstances surrounding the 30-year-old's death were exacerbated when the first paramedic arrived on scene Mr Buckland's cousin. "His cousin travelled with him in the air ambulance performing CPR, trying to keep him with us," Mr Jones added. Mr Buckland was well known throughout the Cardinia community, particularly in the trucking industry. According to Mr Jones, more than 600 people attended the 30-year-old's memorial service in February, proving just how popular he was. The event at the Pakenham Racecourse Event Centre, scheduled for 25 May, will feature a performance from comedian-hypnotist Bizarre Gazzard, live entertainment, auctions and a two-course meal. Tickets are $80 and can be purchased on Eventbrite.com.au.

We need to talk about the smoking. Because a ban means a ban - and a ban that isn’t enforced is no ban at all. As a general rule, banning anything is usually a second-best solution. But it should be apparent that lifesaving hospitals and life-threatening smoking is not exactly a match made in heaven. The notorious death of a medical professional in Melbourne, through smoking-related argy-bargy, was a case in point. It seems remarkable that, with a hospital smoking ban implemented, the authorities have been unable to hand out one penalty notice. Not one. In fact, we are told, the ashtrays are strategically placed under the “no smoking“ signs - and that’s no joke. Now, it may be that the ban has not been well thought out. It may equally be that the wrong bodies have been chosen to enforce (or in this case, not enforce) it. But, frankly, we expect better - and it’s time for the powers that be to put up or shut up. So if the ban’s on, let’s see some enforcement. And if it’s not, then let’s hear no more of it ... and someone will need to take those “no smoking“ signs down. Because any medical professional will tell you that smoking can’t be a little bit banned ... any more than you can be a little bit pregnant. - Jason Beck

Pensioner terrified By Kyra Gillespie and Brendan Rees A group of thugs including boys from Cranbourne have been charged with aggravated home invasion after allegedly storming into a Berwick home and terrorising an elderly pensioner last weekend. Police allege ten teenagers raided a house on Michelle Drive where they stole a gaming console just before 2.30pm on Saturday, April 7. A mobile phone was also allegedly stolen from a fast food restaurant on Clyde Road a short time later. Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged 10 youths following the theft and home invasion. Five boys from Cranbourne, aged 14 to16, and a 15 year-old Cranbourne North boy were among those charged. They were bailed to appear in a Children’s Court at a later date. An 18-year-old Narre Warren man was also charged and remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, April 9. A 13-year-old Hampton Park boy and a 16-year-old Narre Warren South boy will be charged on summons with theft related offences. Two 15-year-old Pakenham boys were also charged with aggravated home invasion and will face the Children’s Court. Disability pensioner Shelly Dean says she barricaded herself in her bedroom when the youths smashed their way into her Berwick home and allegedly bashed her autistic son. CCTV footage shows the daylight raid, where the brazen youths stormed into Ms Dean’s front yard armed with baseball bats. One young man is seen kicking the front door repeatedly shouting abuse. “I was terrified, when they first came in I thought they had guns,” Ms Dean said. “It was very very scary.” Her son’s 16-year-old girlfriend, who asked not to reveal her name, said she was holding

Shelly Dean, who suffers from progressive MS, barricaded herself in her room with her dogs when Pictures: KYRA GILLESPIE her home was attacked. 179676 the front door shut in an attempt to keep the intruders from entering. “I slammed the door in their faces and held it shut while they tried to break in,” she said. When they couldn’t get in the front, some of the youths can be seen running down the side of the house and smashing a CCTV camera while another films the rampage on a mobile phone. The youths allegedly assaulted Ms Dean’s autistic teenage son with a bat and stole a video game console and $400 cash. Ms Dean, who suffers from progressive

multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair, said she is now terrified to leave the house. “We moved here nine years ago and it’s become so bad ... This has become a really scary area,” she said. Ms Dean said she had little faith in the justice system. “They’re just going to get a slap on the wrist and end up out on the street again, what if they come back?” she said. “We want to move but because I need specialised disability housing it can take years and I can’t afford a private rental.“

No fines at hospital no-smoking zone By Cam Lucadou-Wells

to educate operators about the smoking bans. Ms Bell said no council officers had made education visits to public hospitals due to receiving "very few" smoking complaints. Star News has received a stream of complaints about smokers flouting the law and also the lack of an undercover smoking area. Monash Health security officers can "ask" smokers to smoke away from the hospital but aren't authorised to enforce the ban. On a visit to the hospital, cigarette butts were observed on the rims of exterior rubbish bins - right next to 'No Smoking' signs. Australian Medical Association president Lorraine Baker said there was an enforcement "grey zone" around the smoking ban. There was a public expectation that hospitals would enforce the ban, but the authority lay with local government officers, Dr Baker said. Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation acting state secretary Paul Gilbert said

there remained questions over who was meant to enforce the bans. "It's certainly not up to health care workers to enforce the smoking bans and we have seen a number of incidences of violence and aggression towards our members who have stepped in to point out the smoke-free areas at their workplaces. "Some hospitals have gone as far as issuing their staff with health and safety policy which prevents them from approaching smokers to avoid potential conflict." Concerns have been raised about the safety of patients and medical staff requesting smokers to comply since a surgeon died outside Box Hill Hospital in May 2017. A man has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter in a Supreme Court hearing over the allegedly fatal punch on the surgeon. It was alleged that the punch was prompted by a request for the man not to smoke near the hospital's entrance.

A Berwick cafe’s former manager has been convicted for stealing thousands from the till while in the grip of a pokies addiction. Priyantha Rohana Yatawatta, 52, admitted to using false supplier invoices to steal about $5000 cash from his employer, The Main Cafe Bar Restaurant, a court heard on 9 April. He repaid that sum, though the cafe owners estimated the thefts totalled $21,000 when they confronted Yatawatta in September 2016. Defence lawyer Emma Strugnell told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that some of the disputed ‘invoices’ had been keyed in by other employees, not Yatawatta. “We say it’s around $5000 - which he has made full admissions to.” Emigrating from Sri Lanka in 2010, Yatawatta worked at a hotel on Kangaroo Island and developed an addiction for pokies. He started work at The Main Cafe about 2014. Ms Strugnell said there was no prior criminal history in Sri Lanka, South Australia or locally. A “deeply Catholic” Yatawatta had sought counselling, hypnotherapy as well as advice from Gambler’s Help on his road to rehabilitation. Magistrate Pauline Spencer said Yatawatta - his family’s sole bread-winner - had gone “over and above” in trying to pay back the theft. He was not required to pay further compensation, Ms Spencer said. “You’ve tried very hard to make good that debt yourself, which is a sign of remorse.” The case was a clear example of the “insidious” nature of gambling, Ms Spencer said. Problem gambling from poker machines had become an “all-too common” issue before the courts. Their addictive nature led Yatawatta - who was of “otherwise good character” - to stealing from his employer. “I’m pleased that you’re getting help for your problem gambling,” Ms Spencer said. “I’m confident that with that help you can put that behind you.” Yatawatta accepted a sentence indication of a community corrections order with conviction. He was ordered to perform 150 hours of volunteer work in 12 months, and to continue his gambling-addiction counselling.

No smoker has been fined by Casey Council under a routinely-ignored smoking ban at Casey Hospital's entrances. The council's environmental health officers and local laws officers have authority to enforce the ban within four metres of public hospital entrances. Casey officers can issue official warnings or $158.57 fines, but no infringements had been issued, Casey safer communities manager Caroline Bell said. "To enforce bans within Victorian public premises (such as hospital entrances) officers need to observe individuals smoking to identify that a breach of the Tobacco Act has occurred. "It is often difficult to catch people smoking as they have often left the location before officers can attend." Casey Council officers routinely make visits to tobacco retailers, eateries, schools and pools

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Esan Pilai, principal lawyer at Jay & Co Lawyers

What is something people don't know about you? That as I grew up until 27 I was a rapper/singer, songwriter and musician. In 2007 I made the top 140 in Oz Idol. What an experience that was for me.

THREE â€Ś things for the kids to enjoy at the end of school holidays

What was your most memorable moment? I can verily state that at 27, having been in practice for six months, winning my first criminal law contested hearing. The positive difference I made to that young man's life was memorable before he tragically committed suicide years down the track with avid ice use . What would your last meal be? Haha, anything that my amazing mother would put together. She's a woman of many talents; and her culinary skill set is nothing short of remarkable. What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness? Definitely the late great Nelson Mandela's release from prison and/or Martin Luther King's speech.

Get a 30-minute taste of ballet in a performance of Coppelia by Australian Ballet Education team. It is followed by a Q&A with performers. 11am, 12 April at Selandra Community Hub, Clyde North. Bookings essential

Get up close to dingos, pythons and "off limit" animals as part of the Holiday Keeper program at Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale. Again bookings are essential.

It's a teens-only zone on Friday the 13th after closing time at Endeavour Hills library. Games, free snacks and prizes for bestdressed. Bookings are of course essential.

What is your favourite television show? At the moment, a combination of Lucifer and also Suits. Growing up, it would have been the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and The Practice. What is your favourite book? I have a few, but definitely The Tibetan Book of Living & Dying. What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? In no particular order, Michael Jackson, Nelson Mandela, Gough Whitlam, Hellen Keller, 2Pac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.

What has been your most embarrassing moment? Haha, I've had too many to pin point one. However, being very weak in Geography at school, I once asked the question "what is the capital of Africa?" in class. Being an ex-Haileyburian, you can only imagine the uproar. At school I ... Never belonged to any collective or group. I

was involved in a wide range of activities and mixed and mingled with classmates from all walks of life. What was your first or best concert? Been to many musical concerts, however the 1995 Michael Jackson tour of Australia at the MCG. It was absolutely breathtaking and an overwhelming sensory experience. I was 11 years old.

Riding for a future By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey mayor Geoff Ablett is saddling up to help save a 60-year-old Clyde North riding school from soaring council rates. The Oakwood Riding School's extensive paddocks, stables and under-cover arena at Smiths Lane are surrounded by suburban sprawl. The once rurally-set school is on the fringe of the urban growth zone, 100 metres from the nearest estate. If rezoned into the UGZ, its already hefty $12,000 rates bill will exponentially skyrocket. Oakwood general manager Sharyn Watt said the not-for-profit centre may be forced to pack up and move out of Casey. Ms Wyatt says it's important to keep riding opportunities so close to home for up to 100 children and riders who live in Casey and greater Melbourne each week. The school also keeps and agists about 60 horses, plus 20 school ponies. Cr Ablett said Casey can't lose what is the "jewel in the crown" of its great equestrian industry and traditions. "We have to find a way to take them out of the UGZ." One method may be to lobby the state's Planning Minister to zone the site as farmland, or otherwise classify Oakwood as an educational facility. The school with its expert instructors was a vital pathway for children to find a future in the sport, Cr Ablett said. Whether as an Olympic rider, jockey or in any of the other equestrian professions in Casey. It is a key plank in Cr Ablett's vision for Casey to be a more significant equestrian centre, complementing the state equestrian hub in Werribee. Largely volunteer-run, Oakwood recently

Sharyn Wyatt and Geoff Ablett with riders and volunteers. 179422 poured its precious funds into a new outdoor arena roof, state-of-the-art sand and fibre surface, water tanks, LED lighting and a sprinkler system. "If you saw this facility, you wouldn't want to get it knocked down for houses," Cr Ablett said. Urban development has chased Oakwood from previous homes at Waverley, Dandenong North and Narre Warren South. It settled on 100 acres in Smiths Lane 12 years ago. Next door at the time was Minta Farm, an apple orchard, Hillcrest Christian College and countryside.

The riding school has already successfully lobbied against a Thompsons Road extension, which threatened to bisect the property. The road now cuts 10 acres off the edge of the school. The school, with its unique lessons for children, is worth fighting for, says Ms Wyatt. Such as learning to look after and take responsibility for the care of a horse. Most of all, horses are a bonding experience. They're a gentle 500 kilogram giant commanded by riders a tenth of their weight. "It's growing in popularity, absolutely. "All girls want a horse and to learn to ride."

Clean power By Cam Lucadou-Wells The much-maligned former tip near Brookland Greens estate could potentially have a shinier future as a solar farm, according to a Casey Council report. The Stevensons Road landfill in Cranbourne was described as having "excellent orientation and topography" for solar in the report tabled on 3 April. It is claimed the landfill could potentially host a 11 million Watt solar system that could supply half of the power requirements for Casey Council's buildings. A decade ago, the disused tip infamously leaked methane into adjoining homes, leading to an expensive clean-up and class action bill for Casey Council and EPA Victoria. Other potential sites include suitable rooftops on 150 Casey Council buildings and facilities and the Quarry Road landfill in Narre Warren. The report also earmarked 325 hectares of vacant high-voltage transmission corridor land that could generate solar power for 33,000 households. A solar system mounted on a shade over Bunjil Place car park could potentially supply all power needs for Casey ARC and Bunjil, the report stated. It stated the benefits of local solar investment were cheaper, renewable energy, less price volatility and new revenue streams. "Large scale solar investment is an excellent opportunity for the City of Casey and its residents." Petra Stock, senior energy analyst for the Climate Council of Australia, said former landfills were a sensible solar farm option, as well as for the extraction of utilisable gases. "It makes sense. It's land you can't necessarily use for other purposes." Renewable systems on council rooftops and land was a "win-win" that slashed costs for ratepayers, Ms Stock said.

On the 4 April the Cranbourne Star News Group Facebook Page shared a story about a Casey resident expressing his concern there were non-complying smokers nearly every time he'd attended at the Casey hospital. The story sparked strong opinions among readers. Here is how they reacted online: Melody Reedman: Each time I have ever been to Casey hospital I have had to walk through toxic smoke on the way in and again on the way out but it is the arrogance of these people that is staggering to me, they stare you down daring you silently to rebuke them as they blow the disgusting plume your way! When you're faced with this kind of defiance and belligerence from a majority of smoker's it always astounds me when they bleat about being persecuted for smoking. Showing consideration for others shouldn't have to be enforced and these smoker's obviously need a huge reminder that they are members of a community. Peter Guild: As a regular visitor to different hospitals over the years some of the worst offenders are nurses and doctors. Rebecca Blackmore: There should definitely be on the spot fines for smoking within a certain amount of feet from a hospital entrance. Even smoking around the hospital grounds isn't good. I am not against anyone smoking, but it isn't fair to share second hand smoke to those who are either sick or who could get sick. People need to stop being selfish and think about other's over themselves. They wanna smoke? Do it away from others. Jai-lee Anderson: It's at EVERY hospital. Tracey Robertson: Casey has ashtrays under the no smoking signs. Julia Thomas: They should provide a smoking area outside the entrance area e.g. near the helipad with tables and chairs, why not? That way they aren't smoking near the en-

trance to the hospital or emergency department. Tony O'Hara: Agree, what is the use of having signs though if no one takes notice or police's it. Rebecca De Fina: If you don't want to be inconvenienced by a smoker. Provide a place for them to smoke. Simple! Joanne Van Rijn-Portelli: Give smokers an area to go so they can go away from the doors. Sally Mylonas: More times than I can count I've had to 'ask' ppl to move who are smoking near the entrance to Monash hospital. There's only one way in and one way out when attending respiratory clinic for my 6 year old daughter. Selfish and ignorant people. Michele Halsall: I think the only way out is for hospitals to provide smoking areas, like at least 100m from the entrance, but with a door into the hospital for patients. It is a problem at every hospital entrance, and very annoying. Arnold Van Rijn: Armadale hospital in Western Australia has sensor automatic public address message speakers at each public entrance. It basically tells smokers to smoke off the hospital site. It has stopped smokers from smoking at the entrances which was the intentions. But smokers are still smoking at other areas on site. Sue Baldizoni: I'm not a smoker, but these laws are now ridiculous! We must have the only airport in the world that doesn't provide a smoking room or area! Some pubs are even prohibited from having a smoking area outside ... Nanny State when it suits them!!! Sue Baldizoni: By the way heaps of Drs and nurses actually smoke. The best solution is to provide an area, well signed and away from the general public. Smoking is NOT illegal in Australia, but smokers are treated as though it is...

Thumbs down To the City of Casey for not enforcing their law on keeping cats on your premises. The council now even make you buy your own cat cage to catch wandering cats. If I wanted cats urine at our front door and cat faeces in our garden I would own a cat. Where are our rates going to???????

YMCA wins pools tender By Cam Lucadou-Wells YMCA Victoria will continue to manage Casey Council's three aquatic centres until at least 2024 after winning a competitive tender process. The confidential six-year contract with two optional two-year extensions covers Casey ARC, Casey RACE and Doveton Pool in the Park from 1 July 2018. The YMCA bid provided the "best financial guaranteed net lump sum return" to the council, according to a Casey report. Its cost has been kept confidential to "preserve competitive tension" in future tender processes. Casey mayor Geoff Ablett said a strong emphasis was placed on "innovative and inclusive programming", in particular YMCA's 'One Casey branding strategy. "(The strategy) will assist in unifying all stadium and aquatic facilities under one single brand to provide maximum benefits to our community. "As the YMCA (is) already operating these three facilities there will be no transition impact on our users." The YMCA bid included "streamlining" staff numbers across the three centres, providing 24/7 health club access, launching Casey Care Foundation and partnering with Melbourne Football Club.

Turning a new leaf at Bunjil By Brendan Rees Wind trees that use turbine leaf-like blades to generate electricity could pave the way for the future of the City of Casey. Deputy Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon said council would consider purchasing the trees to power the outdoor screen, lighting, and water fountain at Bunjil Place. The steel structured trees, which stand just above nine metres tall, comprise of 54 aero leaves—essentially micro wind turbines—which work at speeds as low as 4.5 miles per hour, regardless of the wind's direction. Each tree weighs two and half tonnes and generates 5,400 watts through turbine leavelike blades that spin on a vertical-axis without the need for belts or gears. Cr Stapledon said the cost for one tree was just over $71,000 but would pay for itself within three years. "They tick a number of boxes. That actually are an energy source," she said. "It doesn't have any impact on people. It is very, very effective and it actually captures all types of wind." Cr Stapledon said the trees were more than just being a renewable power source. "It's also a wonderful piece of art, very attractive and they add to the visibility that we have already at Bunjil Place," she said. Casey councillors voted at their meeting on 6 March to investigate the efficiency of the wind trees and whether to buy them for the outdoor community space at Bunjil Place. President of the Tooradin Business Association, Marlene Hargreaves said residents of Tooradin would also explore the idea of installing wind trees. "Our newsletter helps bring people forward into the future and the wind tree was one of those things," she said. "It all looks like a very exciting idea that

President of the Tooradin Business Association, Marlene Hargreaves holds a picture of a wind tree, a form of renewable energy that she says could also boost tourism in Tooradin. 179672 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS kind of fits in with the smart technology down at Bunjil." Ms Hargreaves said the trees were not only an alternative power source but would also boost tourism in Tooradin. "Many projects like it that help resolve high energy prices and create interest in the area." "Wind trees in Tooradin would be something we would like to see happen in the future as part of tourism attraction and eco-tourism attraction," she said. Cr Damien Rosario was also impressed with the concept. "I fully support this. It's so simple. I don't know how much power that screen uses outside (at Bunjil Place) but something like this that could power that and some of the other aspects are fantastic," he said. A report will come back to council in May.

It’s a jungle in there Endangered animals came face to face with curious kids at a Wild Action Show at Clyde North. During the one-hour workshop at Selandra Community Hub on 6 April, there was a mix of the scaly and the cuddly. Among the showcase specimens was a diamond python, crocodile, goanna and Billie the koala.

Model Citizens performer Rose negotiates giant undies.

Brief shows for acrobats Circus Oz will trade the big top for Bunjil Place's theatre to stage its acrobatic show Model Citizens. Daring performers complete the improbable with over-sized everyday objects such as a clothes peg, cotton reel, deck of cards and hanging underpants. The show energetically unpacks myths of modern Australia with a cheeky sense of hu-

mour and live music. At the 13 April show, eight young people from Casey will show off their circus skills as part of a special opening-night routine. They were selected from a series of circus masterclasses held by Circus Oz at Bunjil in recent months. Model Citizens is at Bunjil Place Theatre on 13 and 14 April.

A young achiever By Brendan Rees Hampton Park's Christopher Klepacz is proving there's no boundary to achieving success. The 18 year-old was named a finalist for the Kangan Institute Inspirational TAFE Student Award, one of ten categories in the Victorian Young Achiever Awards. He was also a semi-finalist for the Saward Dawson Community Service and Social Impact Award. Born with Cerebral Palsy, Mr Klepacz has overcome significant challenges to achieve strong IT capabilities and qualifications. Christopher earned his Certificate II in Information Digital Media and Technology in 2017. He said growing up with Cerebral Palsy had been challenging by ways of physical limitations. But he says this has not stopped him from pushing himself harder to achieve similar goals as his peers. "I have learned how to advocate for myself and what I would like to do with my education and the opportunities I encounter." He is currently working towards his Certificate III in Information, Digital Media and Technology while also completing his Year 12 education. During his schooling years at Hampton Park Secondary College Mr Klepacz Christopher has needed to use modified equipment to work independently, and offers proactive IT support to fellow students and teachers.

Fruit supply for the needy A Narre Warren North-based orchard will donate its surplus fruits to schools and charities as part of a five-year partnership with SecondBite. Montague, a family-owned fresh-produce company with orchards across Australia, will supply SecondBite until 2023. SecondBite redistributes the fruit to community groups such as The Salvation Army, Uniting Care and primary schools. "As a family company, Montague is delighted to be part of this effort with SecondBite, providing apples for a valuable program that gives back to the communities in need", Montague director Scott Montague said. The agreement renews a partnership of more than eight years between the parties.

Christopher Klepacz has been named a finalist for the Victorian Young Achiever Awards. 176862 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS "For me to be able to achieve this, I have needed to overcome barriers and difficulties such as high anxiety and utilising strategies to support myself, managing fatigue levels by ensuring I have enough energy to attend college and TAFE," he said. The Awards aim to encourage, reward and most importantly promote the positive achievements of young Victorians up to and including 29 years of age.

Finalists will be presented and winners announced at an Awards Gala Presentation Dinner at Flemington - The Event Centre on Friday 18 May. Category winners will each receive a $1,000 Bartercard Account, $1,000 cash and a trophy. One of the ten category winners will be chosen as the Victorian Young Achiever of the Year and receive a $2,000 flight voucher from Jetstar and a state trophy.

SecondBite chief executive Jim Mullen and Montague IP and business development general manager Rowan Little seal the deal.

bar area – add in the in-ground pool and you will never have to go on holiday ever again. A flat area at the back of the property allows for a tennis court or a game of cricket!

School celebrates 10 years By Brendan Rees Cranbourne North's Alkira Secondary College has turned 10, with teachers and students celebrating with a burst of colour. A carnival was held at the school with 900 students embracing their inaugural colour run on Thursday, 29 March. Head of the school's sports academy Terry Constantinou, said there was a lot to offer during the fun event. "We had a number of inflatable rides, a petting zoo which was a bigger hit than I thought, face painting from the Arts domain and the Alkira performing arts academy providing live music and performances over the middle of the day," he said. "We also had the wellbeing team create a gratitude chalk wall and a dunk-the-teacher water drop that students voted on throughout the week." "The whole day was a chance to improve student connectedness, continue to build a supportive culture and give students a chance to engage in something different than schoolwork." Mr Constantinou said the school usually held a cross country event outside of the

Featuring locally produced gourmet products, craft beers and wines, as well as a number of entertainment options including multicultural cooking demonstrations, performance artists, buskers and stage performances, Nossal High principal Roger Page promises the day will have something for everyone. “We’ll have two stages running throughout the day,” Mr Page said. “The large performance stage will be surrounded by food trucks and gourmet food sales areas ... people can watch performances from a range of local community, school and cultural bands and we will also be running some lessons, so people can try a range of cultural cooking and dancing. “There will also be a petting zoo, face painting and amusement rides for the very young family members.” With an entry fee of only $5 per adult and

child over 12 or $10 for a family, 50 per cent of the funds raised from the South East Feast will go to Youth Mental Health programs in the South East. “We are keen to support local charities and very conscious about youth mental health being a major cause of concern in our young people,” Mr Page said. “We like the notion of supporting a local charity that isn’t a high profile one ... we hope to target a different charity each year and support local groups that are doing good work that don’t always get recognition” With onsite parking and easy access from the Berwick railway station or the Monash Freeway, Mr Page encouraged community members to head down and experience what is sure to be a festival to remember. “We have room to accommodate lots of people with plenty of parking on site,” Mr Page said. “We hope it becomes a big annual event and are hoping we have a wide variety of people coming from the local area and beyond. Invite all the family and friends, the more the merrier!” The South East Feast will be located at Nossal High School at 100 Clyde Road in Berwick on Saturday, April 21 and will run from 10am to 4pm.

A contingent of the Tee Up For Kids charity golf day field.

Beaconsfield branch manager Andrew Gardner, Lakeside Community Bank branch manager Campbell Connell, Berwick branch manager Eddy Leo, Tee Up For Kids' Rob Masters, Pakenham Golf Club's Haydn Thompson, Bendigo Bank's south west Gippsland mobile relationship manager Joanne Dwyer, and Pakenham branch manager Norm Davidson all combined to host a fantastic event for the kids.

Teeing it up for the Kids The Pakenham Golf Course, in conjunction with four local Bendigo Bank branches, teamed up to host the second annual Tee Up For Kids charity golf day recently. A field of 90 golfers - a large number of which are integral members of the local business community - took to the course for an Ambrose event, which was followed by an afternoon of fundraising activities back at the clubhouse. Legendary golf course designer and former Australian tour professional Mike Clayton, who has an ongoing relationship with Tee Up For Kids, came along to Pakenham to take part in the event which raised more than $9500 for the charity - specifically children in the local area.

The Pakenham Golf Club members kindly gave up their course for free for the day, while a whole host of local businesses and community organisations (such as Rotary) rallied behind the course. The Bendigo Bank's Pakenham Main Street, Lakeside, Beaconsfield, and Berwick branches hosted the event, which is hoped will continue into the future on an annual basis. The Tee Up For Kids Foundation believes the generosity of golfers will give children who are living in out-of-home care across Victoria the same hopes and dreams that they have for their own children. The Foundation was established to encourage all golfers to give generously to help

the more than 6400 Victorian kids with their education, as well as helping to improve their safety and wellbeing. Education is the key to their future, and it's the primary objective of the foundation to raise funds for children's education. All the funds raised via the golf day remain in the local community to assist local children and give them a chance at a better life. The winners of the day's Ambrose event were the team of Craig Hutchins, Glen Scales, Wesley Scales, and Cam McLeod. In second place were Hayley Conn, Michael McDonald, Craig Symons and Dean Holder. The team of Mike Clayton, Russell Bennett, Charlie Carter, and Mark Van Der Ross finished third.

The team including Battery Zone's Charlie Carter, Mike Clayton and Mark Van Der Ross finished third in the tournament.

By Hayley Wildes It was a weekend full of incredible Big V action for the Pakenham Warriors. Pakenham’s Division 2 Men made it three wins on the trot after claiming two scalps over the weekend - with both games following extremely different storylines. On Saturday night, the Warriors made light work of the North East Bushrangers, storming to a massive 39-point win, 57-96. The Warriors dominated on both ends of the court and had six players score in double figures, whilst Hayden Davey (14 points, 12 rebounds), Lewis Newman (12 points, 12 rebounds) and Josh Bjelan (10 points, 10 rebounds) all recorded impressive double-doubles. Whilst Saturday night was a blow-out, Sunday night was a back-and-forth, high scoring battle in one of the games of the season. Taking on the Sherbrooke Suns at home, the Warriors required all hands on deck in order to deal with Eric Miraflores (33 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists). In a great team effort, the Warriors had three players score at least 18 points; Josh Bjelan (27 points, 10 rebounds), Ben Gaze (20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals) and Hayden Davey (18 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists). The game went right down to the wire, before Pakenham claimed the 97-95 win as Miraflores missed a buzzer-beater. Gaze, meanwhile, drained a trio of threepointers in the last 50 seconds of the game. In Youth League 2 Men, it was a battle of the Warriors as Pakenham took on Maccabi. After a tight first half, Pakenham fell behind as Maccabi’s offence took over - outscoring Pakenham 25-13 in the third quarter. To Pakenham’s credit, they came out firing in the fourth as Nathan Dodgson (18 points, 5 rebounds), Lee Belton (16 points) and Ned Weideman (15 points) rallied the troops. Despite their best efforts, Pakenham fell heartbreakingly short of a dramatic comeback win as Idan Shamis (28 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds) proved too much, falling to Maccabi 81-83.

Ellie Coutts, averaging 11.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, once again did a bit of everything for Pakenham. The Warriors needed every one of her 8 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks as they scraped home to 50-48 win over the Steelers.

Rolling along at Pakenham Pakenham's premier two-day lawn bowls tournament, the PAKY 5000, was held last weekend at the Pakenham Bowls Club. With over $5000 in prizemoney, this blue ribbon event attracts quality bowlers from near and far - for the second year in a row, one former Pakenham Div 1 Pennant player even flew in from Sydney. No event of this nature can get off the ground without serious sponsorship and the club was fortunate to obtain major funding from local real estate agent Terri Fellows and Pakenham icon David Bull with local businesses Priceline Pharmacy, Sun Patrol Skin Cancer Clinic and Avan also making generous contributions. Prizes for the raffles conducted on each day of the tournament were also donated by local enterprises for which the club was extremely grateful. The tournament consisted of seven games of two bowl triples, each of 12 ends, with four played on the Saturday and three on the Sunday. Day one provided ideal bowling conditions - bright and sunny, but with negligible wind. The greens were a sea of colour with a variety of uniforms and bowls (very few of which are black nowadays). As the day progressed, some of the more highly credentialed teams found that they were battling for a win and a few suffered unexpected defeats against lower rated teams who seemed to be punching above their weight. By the end of the day there were only three four game winners - John Curtain's composite Hastings/City of Frankston team were on top, followed by Vince McIlwain's Traralgon trio with Trent Gribbon's composite Pakenham/ Coatsville/Caulfield Park team in third. Day one was capped off with a free BBQ and a corner to corner shoot out, generously sponsored again this year by 21st Century. This fun event attracted a great deal of interest with many entrants attempting to qualify multiple bowls for the final, urged on by many uncomplimentory and unhelpful comments from the other competitors and spectators. In the end there were 11 players with nearly 30 bowls looking for the prizes. Gavin Wright of Cranbourne quickly grabbed first position with a bowl less than a foot from the jack and shortly after had another close one for second shot. Over twenty more bowls were delivered but with dusk closing in, Gavin still held first and second shots and was quietly celebrating as club President Terry McRedmond sent down the final challenge. The crowd roared as Terry drew the shot and Gavin was consigned to second place however he was quick to congratulate Terry and graciously accepted the minor prize. Day two was unseasonably warm, the wind

Peter Gribbin used his bowling arm to great effect, leading for the winning team. began to pick up and conditions became somewhat trickier than they had been on Saturday. The pattern of highly rated teams losing to "battlers" continued, most notably with one Fifth Div Pakenham side beating a team of Div 1 players and another Div 2 Pakenham side knocking off a Premier Div side skipped by a former Australian and Victorian representative. Those two teams may not have won any prizes on the weekend but they did walk away with bragging rights. However the three leaders continued to win until the last game where John Curtain's rink was scheduled to play Vince McIlwain's crew - obviously only one of them could finish the tournament as a seven game winner. And what a finish it was - Trent Gribbin's team

Gribbin, Paul Van Der Byl and Peter Gribbin jumped from third place to the top of the leader board to take out first prize. In second place, also with seven wins were Vince McIlwain, Neville Brown and Matt Ferrari, while the overnight leaders John Curtain, Alan Ash and Mick Morgan were consigned to third. Apart from a few minor teething problems the PAKY 5000 was again a fantastic tournament, thanks to the generosity of the sponsors, to the competitors who turned up to play two great days of bowls in wonderful spirit, the organisers who spent countless hours putting it all together and the volunteers on the greens, in the kitchen, behind the bar and elsewhere behind the scenes who worked very hard to make it happen.

In accordance with the conditions of play, the two skippers were then required to play a one bowl shoot out to determine the outcome and it was Vince McIlwain who drew the shot. Prizes were presented by Terry McRedmond, Chairman of the Bowls Section. Best first day winners (not due for a major prize) were David Ashby, Frank Seaton and Chris Hannaford (Drouin) while best second day prize was taken by Ray Travica and Lyn Quigg (Mulgrave Country Club) with a couple of ring-ins from Cranbourne (not all players were available for day two).

It's only fitting that the Officer Football Club's new motto is 'Respect All, Fear None'. The Kangaroos are taking giant leaps forward in the South East Football Netball League, and their strong start to the season should come as a surprise to nobody in the know. "It is an exciting time to be involved in this community, whether it be as a resident, community group, business or - in our case - a sporting club given the expected growth in the region," said new president Nick McLennan. "Off field the club has never been stronger due to the hard work of previous committees, but there is now an expectation that our onfield performances will follow suit and the first step to achieving this was appointing coaches Doug Koop, William King and Matt Jones in 2017." Officer took a number of significant steps forward in 2017, with its senior women's side taking to the field for the first time, and it's senior men's side playing a competitive brand of football and dramatically improving its onfield performance in terms of both points for and against. Despite finishing seventh on the ladder in both 2016 and 2017, the side's offensive output leapt from 862 points for in 2016 to 1162 points for last year. The off-season has been a particularly busy one for the club. It has searched far and wide to add talent to its already promising list, adding a number of ready-made players who have the

ability to make an immediate impact. "Despite the relative uncertainty surrounding the future of the league (the SEFNL) there is a real sense of optimism at the club for our immediate short term and longer term future, regardless of where we play, or who we play against," McLennan said. "We believe we are now in a position to not only be competitive, but to challenge any opposition team." Officer's committee currently comprises of 14 members, including eight who are currently playing for the senior men's and women's sides. Seven of those are new to the committee this year. This just goes to show the genuine sense of ownership and pride being displayed by the playing group in the future direction of the club. In 2017, the population of the suburb of Officer was 5265 - a number which is expected to grow by over 600 per cent to over 37,000 by 2036. McLennan, himself a player at the club, represents the change in culture and direction at Officer. While looking to maintain the club's family-friendly culture, he also understands that football is a business, and having graduated from Monash University with a commerce degree and with a professional background in marketing and management, he is perfectly placed to drive the club forward.
