Pakenham has notched the dubious title of being Victoria’s bankruptcy capital. The suburb has the second highest rate of people declaring insolvency in Australia as a result of record mortgages, lacklustre wage growth and poor property investments. According to a report by credit information bureau Illion, 96 Pakenham residents collapsed into financial ruin in the past year to date. Berwick trailed closely behind with 65 people, the fifth highest figure in the state and a 30 per cent spike on the year prior. Excessive use of credit and loss of employment were also cited as contributing factors to the woeful statistic. Fitzpatricks Planning financial advisor Jon Fraser claimed the demographic of Pakenham - and other suburbs featuring in the top five - consisted of many young families and firsttime home buyers. He said they were most likely to struggle under the weight of heaving mortgages and illinformed financial decisions. “A lot of them are getting into the property market for the first time - particularly in Pakenham and Officer - and they’re making errors and suffering the consequences,” he said. “Their commitments are increasing, mort-
gages are reaching record highs, but the wage increases haven’t filled that void. “I think many chose to file bankruptcy and walk away, not realising the long-term repercussions.” Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data supported Mr Fraser’s analysis, with those aged 24 and younger making up 36 per cent of Cardinia Shire’s population. According to the report, there was a 4 per cent increase in personal bankruptcies across the nation over the past financial year — with 32,350 Australians declaring themselves bankrupt. Chief executive of Illion, Simon Bligh, said rising debt levels and stagnant wage growth seaboard were a bad combination for consumers. “Consumer debt levels are rising steadily in Australia as a result of record mortgages and a surge in everyday essentials such as utilities, petrol and healthcare,” he said. “These factors, combined with weak wage growth, are putting pressure on the wallets of Australians.” Mr Bligh implored those suffering financial stress to carefully consider their options before declaring bankruptcy. “Bankruptcy has long-term effects on a person’s financial position such as impacting their ability to borrow or even rent a home,” he said. 12386172-EPJ18-18

Hot shots for the brigade By Brendan Rees Hampton Park fire brigade has been able to buy a high-tech piece of equipment with the potential to save more lives, thanks to the generosity of Bendigo Bank. Marriot Waters Bendigo Bank branch in Lyndhurst presented a $1000 cheque to members of the brigade on Tuesday 24 July. “In January 2017, we were approached by Hampton Park fire brigade to support their fundraising efforts towards the purchase of a Thermal Imaging Camera,” said Len Barda, senior manager of the Marriott Waters branch. “We were happy to help so kicked off our support with a grant of $1,000,” he said. Mr Barda said they also invited the CFA set up an in-branch display at the Marriott Waters branch where they could accept further donations towards the purchase of the camera.
“Last week the brigade contacted us and invited us to participate in some photos in thanks for our support,” he said. First Lieutenant Chris Gomolis said the equipment which uses infrared sensor technology, was vital on a fire line for finding hidden hotspots more effectively. “It allows us to see through heavy smoke and it picks up the thermal images of a person,” he said. “It will have the ability to potentially saves lives and perform internal search and rescues more effectively.” “We’re thankful that the Bendigo Bank and Cranbourne Classic Car Club who were willing to assist us in our quest.” Mr Barda said the Bendigo Bank has been able to invest more than $4 million back into the community for a number of community strengthening projects.

Worry at cop calls to rooming house By Rowan Forster Police have been summoned to a Dunbarton Drive boarding house 10 times over a five-year period to respond to violence and drug-related crimes. The operator of the facility, Marjo Pty Ltd, is gearing up to fight a Cardinia Shire decision to refuse a second house - containing 41 men - on Savage Street. Detractors claim the figure, released by Victoria Police under a Freedom of Information request, is proof the proposed rooming house will cause trouble in the "recovering" neighbourhood. The appeal is set to be heard by the state's peak planning regulator, the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), on 19 September. It comes after John McCaffrey, a consultant town planner speaking on behalf of Marjo, told the Gazette the Dunbarton Drive residence was an example of how a boarding house could operate without conflict or threat to safety. Miles Dugdale said the figure was of particular concern, given the Savage Street rooming house would be double the size of the "trouble-plagued" Dunbarton Drive facility. "If they've had 10 serious crimes here, you can only imagine how many the Savage Street one would have," he said. "The council saw the concerns and used common sense, but they're fighting the decision and now it is out of our hands. "These statistics prove that these houses are troublesome, but VCAT have shown that they don't care in the past." An expansion of the Dunbarton Drive residence to accommodate an additional 10 men was first put forward in 2009. It garnered 58 objections and was rejected by Cardinia Shire councillors twice, but was subsequently approved by VCAT. Elderly resident Glenda Roberts claimed the Savage Street area had experienced a

More than 50 objectors rallied against the rooming house back in 2009. "massive problem" with drug dealers over the past five years. She feared the development could rekindle that behaviour. "For the first time, I actually felt safe and felt it was a nice place to live," she said. "Everyone on the street is elderly and most of us live alone; so there are no young people around to rally against it. "We feel a bit helpless." The figure provided by police only included incidents of an indictable classification at 25 Dunbarton Drive, Pakenham and did not take into account minor attendances or those at neighbouring properties. However, the region's growing rate of homelessness - up 52 per cent over the last
five years - presents an argument for further boarding homes to be established. Latest Census data estimates the municipality now has a homeless population of 220 compared to the 144 recorded in 2011. Youth worker Matt Simms said it was a necessity to provide crisis accommodation for those suffering homelessness and poverty, regardless of neighbourhood concerns. "If they don't have anywhere to go they'll be more susceptible to crime and they'll more than likely cause more trouble in the neighbourhood," he said. "Boarding houses are always going to have these incidents, but it's about how they're handled and dealt with. "Denying them the right to be housed in a rooming facility would only worsen the issue."

THE LOWDOWN Q&A
with Leanne Craven, coordinator of Blind Bight Community Centre
How long have you been with the Blind Bight Community Centre and what opportunities does it provide for the community? I have been at the centre for the last 8 years. Our centre aims to be a central point for the Coastal Villages community to come together in a safe, inclusive and friendly environment. We provide low cost programs and activities that are designed to engage, connect and strengthen the community and provide learning. We encourage community participation in our classes and activities to enhance health, social well-being and advance educational opportunities. What is something people don't know about you? That I use to be quite good at Karate. I can still do a roundhouse kick! What is the most memorable moment in your life? I love to travel, so there are many memorable moments when travelling.. such as the places you see and the people you meet. What is your favourite television show? Don't really have one. I do like to watch some trashy reality tv as I am curious as to why people behave in the way they do as well as documentaries and current affair type shows. At school, I ... always loved having fun and socializing. I wasn't the most studious of students! What is your favourite place to visit in Victoria? I have many favourite places but I think Bright would have to be one of my favourites.
What has been your most embarrassing moment? Did a few crazy things when I was younger and don't really want to be reminded of them. Just very pleased that social media wasn't around back then to see it. What do you work towards in your free time? I am studying at Uni now which takes up a lot
1
What to pick Once August comes around, your winter crops will have reached the end of their growth cycle. If you've planted any winter vegies or herbs, then it's your last chance to reap the benefits. Harvest any remaining artichoke, asparagus, beetroot, broad beans, broccoli, Brussels sprout, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, leek, lettuce, silverbeet, spinach, radish, peas and snow peas.
2
Build up your soil The biggest thing you can do for your garden in August is feed the soil. Start digging in any compost and manures, and adding fertilisers, so that they're breaking down by the time you're ready to plant.

Weed regularly After the rains subside, the last thing your plants need is competition for water and nutrients. It's important to weed regularly so that they don't take a hold.
of my free time. Sometimes I wished I had have done it when I was a lot younger but it's never too late and I am really enjoying it. I also love to catch up with friends and family. Where would your perfect holiday destination be? Anywhere that is warm right now with a beautiful beach like Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui. 12385060-RA32-18
What is your favourite book? I have a few but a book that stands out for me would have to be the Kite Runner.

Stars at the very top of their game By Brendan Rees Having not even reached their teens, a group of sports stars from the City of Casey have achieved their dream of competing at state level basketball next month. Ryan Baker (Berwick Fields Primary School), Cedric Rault and Phoenix Windsor (both from St Catherine's Primary School Berwick) fought through a tough selection process in May to make the final team of 12 to represent Victoria in the boys' under-12 School Sport Australia Basketball Championship in Darwin. Dakota Kirikiri, 12, of Narre Warren North Primary School also made it through to the girls' under-12 Victorian basketball team and will compete in the School Sport Australia Basketball Championship in Darwin from 11-17 August. Team manager of the under-12 boys basketball team Sam Thompson said the talent this year was exceptional with 64 boy's trialling from across the state. "We are a very quick team this team this year with a lot of great outside shooters as well some fantastic athletic big guys that can create their own shots off the dribble," he said. Thompson said Ryan, 12, who plays for the Dandenong Rangers, had shown excellent ball handling skills. "He is a great rebounder and a team first player." He said Cedric, 12, who plays basketball for Casey Cavaliers, was a great point/shooting guard who was very quick. "My only advice for the other states would be not to leave him open at the three point line." Thompson said Phoenix, 12, who plays for the Dandenong Rangers, was versatile shooting forward. "He has fantastic court vision and is able to dish and drive using his fantastic ball handling skills to either set up his team mates or create a shot for himself." Team manager of the under-12 girls basketball team Sam Amos said Dakota, who plays for the Dandenong Rangers, was a "real competitor." "She impressed selectors during trials with her defence, great ball handling, scoring ability and understanding of the game. She is going play a very important role when we are away as one of the team's point guards," he said. "We have selected a very athletic and skilled group of girls.

Family and friends came together for a friendly football match in memory of a much-loved team mate on Sunday 29 July. A fundraiser was held between Devon Meadows Junior Football Club and The Pines Junior Football Club at Casey Fields to support the family of the late Tom Cairney. Organised by Cranbourne East Secondary College and supported by the two football clubs, the day raised more than $4000. Activities included a sausage sizzle thanks to donations from Lyndon's Butcher Rowville and Casey Central Bakers Delight, face painting activities and a lolly jar guessing raffle. Tom, 14, died of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic condition of the heart muscle that often shows no symptoms until it is too late. He died in his sleep from the condition in April this year. "We have lost not just a friend but a brother to all of us," said teammate and Cranbourne East Secondary College student Shaun Warren. "We decided to put together a fundraiser match game to help support Tom's family with all the expenses, just to help give them one less thing to worry about." Devon Meadows managed to win the game for Tom. "We walked off proud and into our rooms and sang our song loud and proud so Tom could hear us up there," Shaun said. Tom's mother Jodie Cairney said she was overwhelmed by the community's support. "We had a great turn out to watch the game which was made even better with a fantastic

"His development not only as a footballer but as a young man was astounding," he said. "His kindness towards others was probably his biggest asset."

Shoplifter brings son, too By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Cranbourne man has been chastised by a magistrate for involving his two-year-old son while shoplifting from a Bunnings store. The 24-year-old concealed $676 of outdoor lights in his son's pram during a family trip to the Springvale store on 29 July, Dandenong Magistrates' Court heard. "It doesn't get much lower than using your own child as cover," magistrate Jack Vandersteen said. "What does that say about your moral compass? "He's an innocent child."
The boy would look up to the accused as his "role model", Mr Vandersteen said. "Do you think he'll grow up to think it's OK to go in a shop and steal?" The man was also in breach of a full intervention order barring him from being near his girlfriend and child at the time, as well as in breach of bail and a corrections order. In June, the man breached the order by attending the girlfriend's home to "say goodbye before he got clean", the court heard. He also pleaded guilty to smashing two of her phones, punching two holes in her home's walls and calling her abusive names despite
the intervention order in March. At one point, the partner picked up her son to prevent the man from hitting her, the court was told. He later told police that he'd "flipped it" after the partner called him names for not getting up from bed. Defence lawyer Nick Power said it "flies in the face" with what the man had been learning at his mens behaviour change course. "It appears that drug use has played some part. "He tells me he doesn't want to expose his son to the things he's managed to do so far. He
Child-porn convictee appeals jail term By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Narre Warren South man who pleaded guilty to knowingly possessing pornography of adults with children under 10 is appealing against his four-month jail term. Dean Meyer, 36, also pleaded guilty at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court to making sexuallyexplicit phone calls to five dance studios about girls featured on their websites between March 2014 and June 2017. One of the victims received four phone calls from Meyer, enquiring in graphic detail whether he could have sex with her daughter. The conversations made the complainants anxious, afraid and shaken, magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted on 30 July. Police discovered 16 images and six videos of child-abuse material found on a computer tower, hard drive and DVD disk seized from Meyer’s home in October. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he was concerned that Meyer offered no explanation
for his offending. Meyer told a psychiatrist about being significantly bullied as a child, including being raped by three people at school - though that was unsubstantiated, Mr Vandersteen noted. “Why did he ring these people? Why did he possess the child pornography?” Mr Vandersteen asked defence lawyer Farah Banihali. “I assume you asked him the same questions, and the psychiatrist as well. “There’s a brick wall.” Mr Vandersteen said there was a need to deter similar offenders from possessing such “terrible” child pornography. “There’s very much a need to protect children from adult interference,” Mr Vandersteen said. “They never should be exploited in such a way. None of them at all deserve to be violated and offended against by adults. “You’re part of the process. If people didn’t possess it, it would be unlikely that this child
abuse material would be produced.” Meyer was jailed for four months followed by a 12-month community corrections order with mental health and sex-offender programs. He was ordered to report to Victoria Police for the next eight years as a registered sexual offender. Meyer soon after indicated that he would appeal against the sentence. He was bailed to appear at the Victorian County Court on 21 September. As part of his bail, Meyer must report to police three times a week, live in a fixed abode, not access the Internet other than for work and banking purposes, and have no contact with under-18s.
wants to put a stop to it. "He doesn't have the maturity or the facility to do that without help." Magistrate Vandersteen said the man had "very high" compliance with his corrections order until he "dropped off" in April, Mr Vandersteen said. "And then you got into trouble." The man was convicted and placed on a supervised corrections order with judicial monitoring, drug testing and mental health treatment. He was ordered to pay $1300 restitution for the property damage.

Seniors make silent stand By Kyra Gillespie Outside Jason Wood MP's office in Berwick on a blustery Thursday morning, 12 activists stood in front of 12 empty chairs. The chairs represented the 12 asylum seekers who have died in offshore detention facilities in the past five years. Behind each chair were the photographs of the men who have died on Manus and Nauru, either by suicide or from inadequate medical attention. Consisting of passionate members of the La Trobe group of the Grandmothers Against the Detention of Refugee Children, McMillian for Refugees and other standalone advocates, the group wanted to bring to Mr Wood's attention the views held by his constituents: that Australia is letting down refugees. "We are voicing our grave concerns about government policies which unfairly detain people both in Australia and in offshore detention on Manus and Nauru," Margaret Edwards said. "We abhor current policies, which compromises the well-being and safety of refugees and people seeking asylum. "We are asking Jason to represent the best of the values of his constituents and the Australian people." Despite many phone calls to his diary organiser, Jason Wood was nowhere to be seen on the day of the protest - Thursday 19 July. "We've all visited Jason Wood but we haven't had a very good response from him," Virginia Schneiders, co-convener for Grandmothers Against the Detention of Refugee Children said. "We've had great feedback from the local Labor candidate Simon Curtis. "But it's disappointing that Jason is in a position of power to do something, yet doesn't."

Mr Wood blames Labor for the atrocities taking place. "We cannot go back to the days where we lose control of our borders like Labor did. Labor locked up thousands of children, they opened 17 detention centres and 1200 people drowned at sea.

Sporting students in the box seat Chisholm Institute is teaming up with La Trobe University to give students in the southeast the chance to become successful sporting coaches. Chisholm's Cranbourne campus has launched a new Bachelor of Sports Coaching and Development course delivered as part of the Chisholm Sports Academy. Students undertaking the course at will be able to broaden their knowledge beyond coaching alone, with a focus on sport and exercise science and athlete development. The course will be targeted at students seeking a full-time career in the sports industry, whether it's as an analyst, talent scout or head coach. Chisholm CEO Dr Rick Ede said it is a wonderful opportunity for students to enrol at the Cranbourne campus and get the skills they need for an exciting new career. "Melbourne is the sporting capital of the world and we're thrilled to offer a course in
Cranbourne that will give our students the opportunity to play their part in this dynamic industry. "Whether they're chasing a career at the grassroots or elite level, we want to give students the expertise they need to hit the ground running," Dr Ede said. With this new offering, the Chisholm Sports Academy gives students the opportunity to commence a sports focused education program at Year 11 or 12 in either VCE or VCAL, and continue right through to a bachelor degree all on the one campus. "This will give students the opportunity to gain placements and internships with Chisholm's industry partners like Melbourne Football Club," Dr Ede said. Up until this year the course was only available at the Diploma level through Chisholm, with students then going on to other universities to complete their Bachelor studies. Once such student was Ned Weideman
who credits the Chisholm Sport Academy with equipping him with the skills he needed to pursue a career in coaching. "Before I joined the Academy I didn't feel like I was providing a good enough service for the kids I was coaching, I didn't know enough. That was one of the reasons I came to Chisholm, so I could develop the kids and give them a foundation they could build on," Weideman said. Chisholm General Manager, Schools and Pathways Conor Mullan said that the new course was just the start of a whole new offering for local students. "Students in Melbourne's south-east shouldn't have to travel to Gippsland or the other side of the city to study. We look forward to announcing soon a number of new La Trobe University Degrees that can be delivered from Chisholm's campuses next year," Mr Mullan said.

Beyond these STEM extension learning classes, the rest of the teachers at Berwick Lodge are treating the adoption of STEM as part of their weekly lesson planning. Teachers working together have tremendous potential to reform education and improve student engagement. From 3D printing and micro-controllers to Lego robotics and Scratch, a world of engaging STEM activities await those wanting to engage their students. STEM educator George Spiridis said, “The students have the opportunity to experience the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics through STEM. We hope they will gain some level of knowledge and skill to help them understand the interactions and interconnectivity of these STEM disciplines. We hope they are then able to apply the knowledge and skills they have learnt to further studies“. “The confirmation of the success of this STEM program came in the form of a comment made to me by one of our students from her astounded uncle (a university lecturer) who was amazed that his niece - in primary school - was understanding university-standard STEM related projects.” Every day teachers face choices about how to implement the curriculum and instruct students. Those choices are opportunities for teachers to engage in education reform that has a real impact. It can be done. Full STEAM ahead!

Every Tuesday morning at Berwick Lodge Primary School, an enthusiastic group of students from Grade 4, 5 and 6 participate in a weekly STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) learning class with the school’s resident STEM educator George Spiridis, the school’s Leading ICT Teacher Michele Tan and myself. Every week, the students come to the lessons bursting with enthusiasm, excitement and a willing attitude to learn. Part of the success of the STEM program has been the influx of girls wanting to learn about STEM. Berwick Lodge prides itself on offering safe, inclusive learnings spaces for all students. It has therefore been affirming to see more and more girls wanting to particpate in the program since it was initiated last year. Misha from Grade 4 is one of those students. She enjoys learning new concepts and coding strategies to further her understanding of how the world works around her. “I like to learn new and interesting things and I really enjoy STEM. I am very curious about it. It is like learning a new language,“ Misha said. The students started in Term 1 by learning how to use a Picaxe micro-controller (which uses the programming language BASIC). This was used as a stepping stone to Arduino (another programmable microcontroller which uses C/C++ programming language). The Arduino is used to physically control lights, motors and sensors to perform various functions. As Misha rightly postulates learning to program is like learning a new language. Few other primary school students in Australia are learning to use such complex hardware and software, but the students at Berwick Lodge are diving in the deep end. It’s universally agreed that in the next few decades employability will depend heavily on STEM related skills. Therefore, teaching STEM skills to students at an early age can have a positive impact on their future employability. As Jeb from Grade 4 explains “It’s easier to soak in new information when you’re younger. The more you know when you’re younger, the

Grandparents celebrated By Brendan Rees The role of grandparents in the City of Casey will be celebrated at this year's Ageing Positively Festival. At their 17 July meeting, Casey councillors voted to hold the new event as part of the festival to be held in October. Cr Amanda Stapledon said she was proud council officers had organised the event to celebrate the valuable contribution of the community's older residents. "The event will bring together grandparents and their grandchildren for a free kids show at Bunjil Place theatre," she said. "This will help to give grandparents special bonding time with their grandchildren, as well as an opportunity to connect with other community members." To address the gap in information available to grandparents, council is currently developing a webpage on the City of Casey website which will provide information about playgroups, support, benefits and links to external organisations, including Grandparents Victoria. Cranbourne grandmother Dorothy Knowles said the event in October was a great initiative but not everyone had access to the internet if council was looking at new ways to support grandparents. "There are lots of people in my age group that don't even have a computer," she said. "People in their seventies, it isn't necessarily part of their life." Ms Knowles said had had grandchildren living with her for the last 15 years and was luckily enough to be "reasonably up to date" with modern technology. "If this is going to be something that they want grandparents to have information they need to think of another way of getting it across."
Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon with Dorothy Knowles and her grandchildren Nicole and Kasie. 176835 She suggested a pop up stall could be set up at a shopping centre where pamphlets could be handed out. Cr Stapledon said the web page would be "informative, useful and easy to navigate."
"This will be of great assistance to our older residents, and a small step towards ensuring grandparents in the community can access information with ease." A report before councillors said council had
written to the State and Federal Governments "highlighting the important role grandparents and the need for suitable support and remuneration. Officers will continue to advocate for the needs of grandparents as opportunities arise."

Men stand for change Two inaugural community awards have been established to recognise local trailblazers working to end violence against women.The awards were presented at the 2018 White Ribbon lunch, held at council headquarters on Thursday 24 July, to two men in recognition of their continued efforts in raising awareness and preventing men's violence against women. The inaugural Garry McQuillan Award, named after council's outgoing CEO, was presented to Cardinia Shire Council's Mark Howard. "This is a huge shock," Mr Howard said, upon receiving the award. "This is a cause that is close to my heart and I am proud to work for an organisation that is so behind ending violence against women." The Tony Fitzgerald Award, also the first of its kind, was awarded to Michael Wright, Outlook's White Ribbon Ambassador and advocate for the prevention of violence against women with a disability. "To be associated with someone like Tony is just amazing," Mr Wright said. Joined by Cardinia Shire Council, Outlook and community partners under Together We Can, the Cardinia White Ribbon event provided an opportunity for the community to reflect on the changes brought about by White Ribbon and initiatives like Together We Can. The event included a silent auction and raffle to raise funds for White Ribbon. The special guest speaker for the formal proceedings was author and retired police of-

ficer Carolyn Pethick, who spoke about her experiences in the police force. Her book, To Hell and Back - A Policewoman's Story, is a memoir detailing her trials and tribulations working within the ranks of the Victoria Police Force from the early 1980s to the present day. Addressing the audience, Ms Pethick recounted numerous instances of harassment, false accusations and character assassinations that she experienced in the overwhelmingly male-dominated industry. She lifted the veil on the blatant sexual discrimination, bullying and harassment that was an accepted part of police culture and the 'boys club' that was Victoria Police. "I was a problem that they wanted to go away," Carolyn Pethick said. "The police force was their own worst enemy, because they made me strong. "I wrote this book because I wanted people to know they're not alone; to stand up for what you believe in, no matter how hard and to not give up." The event also saw the launch of Outlook's new plain-English resource and video for people with a disability and/or limited English to use when reporting violence or abuse, which is now available at the Pakenham centre. The silent auction and raffle successfully raised a further $2615 to the event's total fundraising efforts of $4469, which consisted of generous donations from local businesses and gold coin entry contributions. All proceeds will go directly to the White Ribbon Australia.

Acting Casey CEO Steve Dalton (left) and Bunjil Architect Geoff Croker (from FJMT), spoke to visitors. 182626
An inside view of Bunjil By Brendan Rees Lifting its curtains to the public for the first time5, visitors had the rare opportunity to see what goes on behind-the-scenes at Bunjil Place. The grand arts precinct participated in Open House Melbourne on the weekend of 2829 July alongside some of Melbourne's best of the best in architecture and design. Casey Council spokeswoman Chloe Casey said the open weekend provided visitors an opportunity to explore their interests in building design and learn more about the multiaward winning facility. "It was the public's chance to come and see all of the public spaces at Bunjil Place, and a
full behind-the-scenes experience for those lucky enough to secure a spot on the prebooked tour," she said. Visitors also had exclusive access to FJMT Architect Geoff Croker and Acting CEO City of Casey and former director of Bunjil Place, Steve Dalton who talked about how the Bunjil Place project went from a pie-in-the-sky concept to a benchmark building. And for the kids, Bailey the Bandicoot dropped in to help provide a self-guided tour. With 220 venues opening their doors to the public across Melbourne, tens of thousands of people came out to celebrated architecture through a collection of tours, talks and events in the largest program Open House Melbourne has presented.

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region
Riz is in the dot com loop By Narelle Coulter Chances are if you step into Riz Akhtar’s Volkswagen Golf as an Uber passenger you will be asked what car you drive and what was the experience like when you purchased it. Riz, 28, is the founder of dot.com start-up Carloop. Like many tech entrepreneurs he is Uber driving while he ploughs most of his time, energy and passion into his website. After 18 months in development, Carloop went live at the start of July promising to “put Aussies in the driver’s seat to buy confidently”. Riz says Uber driving provides “a bit of pocket money” but far more importantly, it provides the perfect market research opportunity as he refines Carloop. “You talk to people. You’ve got them for a bit of time so you try different pitches and see what works and doesn’t work, what clicks with certain demographics. I collate all that information at the end of the night. “I’ve met some really great people and I’ve built some really good connections. I’ve met the CEOs of companies as an Uber driver.” Riz was born in Pakistan and immigrated with his family first to New Zealand and then Australia as a boy. The family settled in Doveton and Riz attended Hallam Secondary College. He studied at RMIT for an associate degree in engineering , before transferring to mechanical engineering. While at university, Riz secured an internship with Bosch at Clayton and later worked on the Wonthaggi desalination plant. A job offer from Boral took him to Queensland where he worked on infrastructure for the 2018 Commonwealth Games as well as high rise projects on the Gold Coast. By 22 he was managing a team of 80. His goal to climb the corporate ladder was interrupted when his mum fell ill and he returned to Melbourne. After a stint in health care at private hospital Cabrini, Riz decided he had had enough of corporate life. “I wanted to find a place where the culture was a lot better. The industries I was working in were cut throat, the hours were long and they were controlled by government budgets,” he explained. “I had always been interested in technology and cars and the automotive industry in general.” The idea for Carloop first started nagging at him while he was working in Queensland. “When I moved to Queensland I didn’t know anyone there and the only people I knew were my work colleagues. They knew I was into cars and when you’re into cars everyone comes to you when they are buying a car for advice and
Carloop founder Riz Akhtar wants to simplify the new car buying process. 182767 help dealing with the dealers. “Because I helped quite a few of them I realised we were all wasting time talking to people that consumers generally don‘t trust.” Riz decided there must be a better way to avoid the countless hours consumers spend visiting dealerships, comparing prices and negotiating the purchase of a new car. Carloop shows the prices dealers are asking for more than 60 popular makes and models of cars and compares those prices to what Australians are actually paying for their cars. Riz said his aim was to bring trust and transparency to the industry. He hopes Carloop will save consumers thousands of dollars.
“I’ve heard stories of people who have gone from one dealer to another and saved 10 grand," he said. “The industry is just not transparent. Consumers feel like the dealers are there to get them and the dealers feel the same thing. “I thought there is a better way to empower Australians to save time and money and be that trusted helpful source. “ Riz spent 18 months crowd sourcing price data from across country. Type in Mazda 3 on the Carloop website and it will tell you that dealers ask $30,254 while in reality consumers pay $27,928. Consumers can receive a personalised sales
report in under 24 hours based on their geographic location. “I got a testimonial from a guy in NSW who said a process that would normally take him four weeks with our report he was able to do it in under a weekend." He hopes women feel confident using Carloop. The site's purple colour theme was no accident. "So far of the people who have requested reports 30 per cent are female. We want to increase that number. We are trying to make the site as easy to use as possible, not because we want to attract women but because it is targeted at everyone." He hopes profit will come down the track via Carloop directly linking consumers to reputable dealerships in their area. Riz hopes dealers will embrace Carloop and see it as a way to cut their overheads and save their salespeople time. “I have spoken to 50 dealership principals across the state and I can tell you their biggest issue isn’t negotiating and saving money on price. The biggest issue is the time the salesmen spend on the negotiating process. “Dealers may not be happy initially but long term vision is huge.” Riz has been sharing his dot.com journey by mentoring other young people who have bright ideas for the digital space. He is excited to be involved with the INNovation Crowd, a Casey Cardinia Region start up ecosystem, that will providing mentoring, meet-ups and help create the jobs of the future in the South East. “I mentor a lot of young people. There are a huge benefits for mentors and mentees to work together in the South East. We have enormous opportunities." In five years Riz says he wants Carloop to be “a trustable, transparent platform that Australians know and trust to be able to save them time and money and the hassle that comes with car buying". “Every morning I get up at 5am and get nothing for. I really want to solve this problem. I come across it all the time. There are thousands of people talking about it every day, but not many people are trying to solve the problem.” When he’s not interrupting the car industry, Riz likes to get behind the wheel of his Volkswagen Golf and head to the Dandenong Ranges. And his dream car? “My dream car is a BMW M5. I believe I have achieved a lot in my life considering where I came from, at the same time I am not the type of person who will show off. It is the type of car that can go fast but it looks like a normal car. I can’t do a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. That’s too much."
Early detection system sparks interest across nation A Casey based firm is at the forefront of cutting edge technology that could prevent another Black Saturday fire storm. Successful Endeavours helped develop an early detection system that detects equipment faults and vegetation ingress affecting rural powerlines. The Narre Warren based electronics design and embedded software development consultancy, helped start-up firm IND Technology with its Early Vegetation Fault Detection system for SWER (single wire earth return) systems. Based on state-of-the-art high speed digital signal processing technology and specialised RF antenna sensor technology, IND Technology designed an Early Fault Detection system that remotely monitors and detects partial discharges on overhead distribution lines and underground cable systems on a continuous 24 hour basis.
Casey Cardinia Region pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au
In 2015 IND Technology approached Successful Endeavours managing director Ray Keefe to create a commercial version of the product including the highly technical web services needed to support the system. Mr Keefe said the the technology was “a world first developed in Melbourne“. “Every second, each device in the field sends a log of sophisticated mathematical data to the web services where it is stored and then passed through to a server cluster that analyses the data and determines the overall electrical health of the network as well as specific fault locations,“ Mr Keefe explained. “The technology relies on the atomic clocks on board the GPS satellites as well as some high speed local FPGA processing.“ In 2017 IND Technology won a State Government grant for the supply of 65 systems for northern and mid western Victoria. These had to be solar powered and were for
SWER lines. Successful Endeavours was again commissioned to do the engineering design and to produce the 65 systems. “As a result they detected a cable snap event that was equivalent to the incident that started a major Black Saturday fire,“ Mr Keefe said. Both firms were nominated in the national manufacturing awards run by Manufacturers’ Monthly. Successful Endeavours was a finalist in the Industrial Product of the Year category as well as Most Innovative Manufacturing Company Award. IND Technology was selected as a finalist for Outstanding Start up of the Year. Mr Keefe said EVFD was a great example of technology designed and made in Casey gaining national recognition. “The result is a Victorian based startup now positioned to take this technology nationally and then internationally.“

Luke defies odds By Brendan Rees When Luke Helmuth fell three floors from a balcony, he could have easily given up any hope of leading a normal life. Instead, the 27-year-old, who spends his life in a wheel-chair, has not allowed his disability to define him. Luke has now become an inspiration to members at Cranbourne's Anytime Fitness gym where he attends three times a day. "His injuries and his situation aren't affecting him at all, i's quite incredible," says manager Jason Maurice. "He's got a lot of strength behind him; the amount of weights he can lift on some exercises is pretty impressive. "He gets on the leg press by himself, on the seated leg press, and on the stair master which is incredible," he said. Mr Helmuth's life was turned upside when he fell from a hotel balcony in 2013 while celebrating the Summernats Car Festival in Canberra. He is unable to talk as a result but in a message using his phone, he says "It was so hot, me and my friend and girlfriend at the time decided to go for a swim at my hotel. "On the way back, we had to wait for a lift so I sat on a handrail, three floors up and fell off. I lost my balance and landed on a marble floor," he explained. "I was in a coma for four months now I need to learn to walk and talk again. I had a severe brain bleed." But today, Luke is determined about regaining his fitness and health by stepping into the gym every day. He has already racked up more 500 visits, earning him a hall-of-fame award with Anytime Fitness. "The members have no problem helping him out as well which has built a good culture in the club," says Mr Maurice. "He's positive, he's personality is great, and has good humour."

Pair there for the veterans By Brendan Rees A commitment to raising funds for war veterans has landed two volunteers of the Berwick RSL sub-branch awards for their outstanding leadership. Appeals leader Sue Clark and deputy appeals leader Les Lucas have dedicated their time in running successful Anzac and Poppy Appeals for the past 10 years. The pair was each presented certificates of commendation for their outstanding efforts by RSL Victoria president Dr Rob Webster OAM, and state secretary Mick Annett on Sunday 15 July. President Wayne A’Vard, Berwick RSL praised the two volunteers for their focus on recruiting and leading volunteers in covering a large number of locations across Casey-Cardinia. Ms Clark said without volunteers and the community they couldn’t look after veterans. “It is our fabulous volunteer collectors we wish to thank, who so generously gave their time day after day, some travelled over 20 kilometres, but most importantly the community for their support. We could not achieve any of this without you,” she said. Mr A’Vard said the event was an important part of the club’s annual activities, “with good food, cheer and sharing tales of engaging the buying public, who we give thanks in their support of veterans.”

SPORT
Warriors are finals ready By Hayley Wildes As the regular season of Big V 2018 comes to close, Pakenham's Youth League 2 teams have both qualified for finals, while the Division 2 men fell short. Over the weekend, the Division 2 men played two games and came away with one win. Taking on the lowly Wallan Panthers at home on Saturday night, the Warriors fell behind early and trailed by 13 points at the main break. Pakenham didn't lie down though and staged a thrilling second half comeback. Having cut the margin to seven points with one quarter to play, the Warriors held the panthers scoreless in the final 4:30 of play to give themselves a chance. Trent Lee and Lewis Newman connected for an alley-oop with 15 second to go to give Pakenham the lead and ultimately, the win. Ashley Szalek (14 rebounds, 13 points) and Josh Bjelan (13 rebounds, 9 points) were impressive in the thrilling 77-76 win. On Sunday, in their final game of the season, Pakenham celebrated Craig Drew's 150th Big V game for the Warriors. Drew is the first player in club history to play 150 Big V games and he got the start against the Altona Gators. Pakenham was rolling and led 45-30 with six minutes to play in the third quarter. It went south quickly from there as the Warriors' offence stalled and they were unable to contain the Gators' who quickly found their offensive rhythm. In the final 16 minutes of play, the Warriors
were outscored 43-18 and finished their season in disappointment with a 73-63 loss. Lewis Newman (15 points, 12 rebounds) led the way for Pakenham. The Warriors (11-11) finished the season in eighth place. The Youth League 2 women completed their impressive regular season with a win over Southern Peninsula on Sunday afternoon at Cardinia Life. The Warriors claimed a 57-50 win as Ellie Coutts (17 points, 10 steals, 5 rebounds, 3 steals) wreaked havoc. Pakenham (13-5) finished the regular season in second position. The Youth League 2 men will enter the postseason as the form team of the competition as they ride a nine-game winning streak. In their final regular season game, the Warriors dominated Wallan at home on Sunday afternoon to claim a massive 48-point win, 102-54. Ned Weideman (22 points) and Nathan Dodgson (13 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals) were superb, while Brayden Davies scored 13 points in nine minutes of action. The Warriors (18-6) locked up third position. It will be a massive double-header on Saturday night at Cardinia Life as the Youth League 2 women and men tip off their respective finals campaigns. The women face Frankston from 5pm, while the men take on Mornington from 7pm.
Ned Weideman will be looking to continue his fine form when the Big V finals tip off on Saturday Picture: ROB CAREW night. 183398

1000 reasons to celebrate By Nick Creely
were unable to find a way back into the game despite showing some promising signs, with powerful trio Trent Shinners (four goals), Scanlon (three) and Nick Scanlon (three) putting Leigh McQuillen’s side to the sword over the next three quarters. Magpies coach Matt Shinners was pleased with elements of the performance, but conceded that they will need to lift their game when they take on Cranbourne this week. “We probably weren’t as clean this week as compared to last week, and we were a bit patchy - we had a couple of guys coming in because a couple of blokes were available for the VFL, so it’s a bit hard,” he said. “For those guys to come in and pick up the game style from reserves footy, they probably struggled a bit, but my senior players were really good. “I’m not going to say we’re absolutely smashing it, but I know that my boys are looking forward to testing ourselves against the other form side in the competition (Cranbourne). “There’s always room for improvement.” Down at Edwin Flack Reserve, Berwick flexed its muscles to continue to build to its best form ahead of finals against Pakenham, 14.19 (103) to 6.6 (42). The Wickers were uncharacteristically sloppy in the opening exchanges, failing to score a goal in the opening quarter, allowing the Lions to take a 12-point lead into quarter time. That defensive game style that has served Ash Green’s side so well this season seemed to be frustrating the Wickers, who couldn’t find their trademark dash at half-back. A spark - in the form of a cracking goal from Brody Connelly from the arc of 50 - got the Wickers going after being down by 17 points, and the home powered on to slam on a further three goals to wrestle the lead back at the major break. After half time, the Wickers got back to some of their best football, breaking down the brave Lions to slam on nine goals to two in the third and fourth quarters, with stars such as Harry Money (four goals), Bryce Rutherford, Tim Gunn and Bailey Asher all extremely influential after quarter time. In the final game of the round, TooradinDalmore kept the door slightly ajar for finals after easily accounting for Doveton, 16.15 (111) to 8.15 (63).

SOUTH EAST FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 13 It only took a matter of seconds for Marc Holt to make history on Saturday. In reality, it’s taken the enigmatic Cranbourne legend over a decade of dominance to etch his name in local football folklore ... and it was worth the wait. Putting a tumultuous week behind him after being charged by the tribunal and then cleared the next night at an AFL Victoria appeals hearing, Holt’s class and character loomed larger than anything else. Holt simply bleeds for the blue and gold jumper, and his 1000-goal milestone was worthy of its almighty celebration. In scenes reminiscent of the golden days of football, the sight of Cranbourne fans streaming onto the ground to celebrate the occasion will be one of the treasured memories when looking back at the history of the South East Football Netball League, which is in the latter stages of its final season. In what was one of the finest goals of the season to date, Holt - within minutes of the game starting against Officer - at his home ground, bended the ball from deep in the pocket to watch the ball sail through the big sticks after evading several defenders, and immediately took off down the wing, pointing to his adoring fans as they saw their man make history. Holt’s achievement is a rarity for modern players, and his 1000th was spine-tingling, and in the contest of all his challenges along the way, perhaps his finest of them all. Cranbourne coach Steve O’Brien said he felt immense pride at watching Holt make history, and could only watch on in awe at his incredible 1000th goal, which took skill and class to pull off. “To be a small part of a wonderful journey was really satisfying - it was a great moment for our footy club,” he said. “It just shows what a wonderful player he is Marc’s always going to be remembered as an incredible marking player, but he showed he has a full bag of tricks, with ground ball goals and the goal to bring his 1000th up was pretty special.” O’Brien said that despite the moment being celebrated with gusto and passion, Holt’s loyalty and desire to win shone through immediately after galloping down the wing and being swarmed by teammates and fans. “Our footy club won’t forget the moment, he’s been an incredible servant of our club, and he always puts us first, which is what makes him so special” he said. “Even as soon as he kicked the goal and celebrated, I’m pretty sure his first comments were ‘let’s get back to the game now’ and that sums him up.” The Eagles had all the momentum from the opening bounce, and ran away 13.16 (94) to 1.11 (17) winners after keeping the Kangaroos goalless until the final quarter, with Holt finishing with five and perennial goalkickers Nathan Gardiner and Tom Marks snaring six between them. O’Brien was pleased with the Eagles’ ability to handle the pressure of the day, and said it showed growing maturity. “It was really pleasing (the game) - it was a big build up, and we tried to keep it as normal as possible, and we had some targets we wanted to achieve from the game. “For the boys to maintain the focus, and to tick all those boxes, it was really pleasing.” Down at Kalora Park, Beaconsfield certainly showed some pluck, but Narre Warren - led superbly by experience and youth - were just one step ahead as they all but secured the minor premiership on Saturday. In the eventual 14.15 (99) to 7.8 (50) victory over a depleted Eagles side still missing their spearhead Nathan Langley and competition superstar Scott Meyer, the Magpies continued on their winning ways. The win was set-up by a dominant first term display, with the Magpies controlling the football, and surging forward with speed. Stewart Scanlon converted the first major of the day by nailing his set-shot, and from there, the likes of Brad Scalzo through the midfield and young defender Jesse Davies repelling everything inspired a 21-point quarter time lead. Sheer forward class ensured the Eagles
