FOCUS ON … CHRISTMAS IN PAKENHAM

Cooking up festive treats In the lead up to Christmas Vanessa Behrtel will bake 45 ginger bread houses and make and decorate hundreds of Christmas themed biscuits.

It’s a labour of love for the 24 year old who is a trained chef and self described “foodie“.

Vanessa, 24, owns her own home based business, Clever Cookie.

She says the business started five years ago thanks to demand from family and friends for her decorated cakes and baked goods.

“At that point it wasn’t a business, I just enjoyed decorating cakes and playing with new ideas. It escalated when people outside of family and friends started asking me for cakes. I suddenly thought ’I can make a living out of this’,“ Vanessa explained.

Vanessa was born in the Northern Territory and spent her childhood travelling throughout Australia with her peripatetic parents.

“My parents loved travelling and moving.

Growing up I lived in every state.

“Christmas was always interesting because we moved so much there were always new friends to spend it with or family we hadn’t seen in ages because they were too far away.

“Santa always found us. He never go lost,“ she said, laughing.

Vanessa moved to Melbourne at 18, drawn south by the city’s reputation as a vibrant food culture. She now lives in Cardinia Shire with her partner.

“For me Christmas is special because I get to make things that I don’t make at any other

“I get to play with new ideas and implement new skills I’ve learnt throughout the year to create new things for clients.

“For me it’s great to be able to use all the knowledge I’ve gathered to make special things for people like a gingerbread house that many customers use as the centrepiece on their table. It is lovely to be a special part of their day.“

Each ginger bread house takes Vanessa about an hour to bake and decorate and no two are the same.

According to Wikipedia gingerbread was first baked in Europe at the end of the 11th century, when returning crusaders brought back the custom of spicy bread from the Middle East. Ginger was not only added flavour, it also had properties that helped preserve the bread.

Vanessa uses an old traditional recipe that

she has tweaked to make her own. “ I don’t recall exactly where I got (the recipe), but I have tweaked it, added extra species, to make it unique to me.

“It’s a work in progress. Something like this can take years to perfect.“ When Christmas Day finally comes and she can turn off the oven, Vanessa is looking forward to spending time with family.

“My grandparents host Christmas lunch so they normally score a gingerbread house,“ she said, laughing.

“We don’t have a lot of family traditions, we just like a laid back day together.“ When it comes to festive food, Vanessa nominates a traditional baked ham as one of her favourites.

“I can’t go past a traditional baked ham, which is always amazing and something you only do that at Christmas.“ She hopes to one day turn Clever Cookie into a full time enterprise.

“It is extremely satisfying to look back at how far I’ve come and look at what I’ve made and that people continue to buy what I make.

“I started at the bottom and am building my way up, which is a really good feeling at the end of the day. “ And her advice for home bakers wanting to create something a bit special this Christmas?

“I would say don’t be afraid to ask questions. Ask professionals for advice or seek out YouTube guides and tutorials which are amazing. Look on Facebook, do your research, the information is out there.

“It’s important food people share their knowledge because food is such a communal thing that brings people together.“

Help spread hope This Christmas, The Salvation Army is encouraging Pakenham locals to connect with their community - whether it is through participating in Christmas activities, giving a hand up to someone in need, or reaching out to the Salvos for help.

Christmas is one of the hardest times of year for Australians doing it tough, but Pakenham Salvation Army Officer Lieutenant Dale Saunders says just a small contribution can

make a big difference.

“For just $29 you can provide food on the table and a present under the Christmas tree to help give hope to someone in need this Christmas,” Lt Saunders said.

Not only is The Salvation Army in Pakenham running its annual Christmas Cheer operation, to provide toys and food for those in need, it is also putting on a community carols event and preparing for a special Christmas Day service.

On Christmas Day, The Salvation Army is inviting the public to celebrate Christmas at a service from 9.30am at The Salvation Army Pakenham, 51 Bald Hill Road. A sausage sizzle will be on from 5pm. Pakenham locals are also invited to attend The Salvation Army’s carols service at 5pm on Sunday 16 December at The Salvation Army Pakenham. Donate to The Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal at salvos.org.au/Christmas or by calling 13 SALVOS (13 72 58).

Library charity call Casey Cardinia Libraries (CCL) is establishing "Forgiving Trees" at every branch in the lead up to the festive season.

Members of the community are encouraged to contribute items of food or unwrapped gifts for locals in need of a helping hand.

This year, CCL has partnered with WAYSS, Cranbourne and Casey North CISS, The 4Cs, Transit Outreach Service, Hampton Park Community House, Barry Plant Emerald and Emerald Community House to help those who need some extra support.

"CCL are really grateful for the opportunity

to work with local charity partners to celebrate the spirit of giving with our community," CCL CEO Chris Buckingham said.

"The Forgiving Tree is a living example of how libraries change lives."

During the campaign, overdue, lost or damaged items may be returned with no penalty, in exchange for donated goods Because CCL has not been collecting overdue fines from borrowers in 2018, the Forgiving Tree has also been opened up for everyone to make a contribution, even if they do not have any outstanding fines.

"Our community has responded so generously in the last couple of years. It makes a big difference for locals doing it tough," Mr Buckingham said.

"This year we are accepting donations from everyone, even if they don't have any lost or overdue items that need to be returned."

The campaign runs from November 7 until Christmas Eve. All CCL branches will accept non-perishable food with intact packaging and best before dates in 2019. Christmas gifts should be new and unwrapped.

Father Christmas will ride through Main Street in a horse drawn carriage ( several times) on Saturday 22 December as part of the annual Main Street Festival.

Santa will spread Christmas cheer from 11am until noon as he makes his way along Rogers Street, down to Drake Lane and up Main Street.

Elves will accompany him handing out lollies and Christmas smiles to shoppers in the street.

Buskers will sing carols and invite everyone to join in.

Mr Yakkerboo and Blue will be dressed for the occasion adding an extra festive feel to this year’s festival.

Jillian Ronald, who is helping organise the event on behalf of the Cardinia Art Society, said the idea was to bring the joy of Christmas to Main Street.

She encouraged families to line the route to cheer on Santa.

“It has been a tradition for Santa to visit Pakenham on a horse and carriage,“ Ms Ronald said.

“It’s a wonderful day for the community to celebrate the spirit of Christmas and support Pakenham’s local traders.”

Brian Paynter is set to become a casualty of Labor's state election onslaught, while Gembrook MP Brad Battin is likely to retain his seat by a tight margin.

Labor's dominance came as a shock, considering Mr Paynter was tipped to narrowly triumph and Mr Battin was expected to steam role candidate Michael Galea.

Jordan Crugnale - Bass's likely new MP has surged ahead of Mr Paynter by more than 1700 votes, securing 52 per cent of the two candidate party vote.

While the Liberal MP has narrowly racked up more primary votes, candidate preferences will likely propel Ms Crugnale into parliament.

Ms Crugnale - a former Mayor of Bass Coast Shire - has received a surprising 6.7 per cent swing in her favour.

Speaking with the Gazette on Tuesday, Ms Crugnale said she was "beyond thrilled" with the mammoth swing towards her party.

"It would be historical to have a Labor member in Bass alongside a Labor Government, for the first time ever," she said.

"The swing has been incredible and it shows that people as a collective have gone with a positive, progressive government.

"If I get this gig, I will be proud to represent Bass."

In a gracious address to her future constitu-

ents, Ms Crugnale added: "I am proud of you all - you have run a positive forward thinking campaign, listened intently, told our story well and brought all your conversations with people to the table for change for the better."

Closer to Officer, and the verdict is not yet set in stone.

With little over 60 per cent of the vote counted, incumbent Brad Battin is edging ahead - tipped to retain the electorate.

The seat, which was labelled a Liberal stronghold by analysts and bookies, has been brought down to the wire - with Mr Galea and Labor yielding a 5.6 per cent swing in favour.

With just three candidates vying for the electorate, Mr Battin garnered more than 50 per cent of first preference votes.

However, Greens' Amy Gregorovich attracted 9.8 per cent of the primary vote - with preferences that will aid Labor.

When contacted by the Gazette, Mr Battin said it was still too early to comment on the outcome.

"It's been a very tough weekend," he said.

"I still don't know if I'm out of the woods yet."

Win, lose or draw; Mr Galea said he was proud of the result.

"I'm proud to call this community my home, and no matter what the result is I'm thrilled to have contributed to making this seat marginal," he said.

Houses before jobs

By Rowan Forster The State Government has been accused of shelving the Pakenham South Employment Precinct - tipped to create thousands of jobs - in favour of an enormous new suburb in Pakenham East.

Despite the impending jobs bonanza that would accompany the massive Greenhills Road industrial area, the Victorian Planning Authority has reportedly been directed to prioritise the 7100 dwelling development instead.

Proponents steering the proposed Pakenham South Employment Precinct claim they have been shovel-ready for years.

It comes as unemployment across the municipality has rocketed from 4.48 per cent to 6.68 per cent in six years.

Development Manager David Sowerby said Cardinia Shire had been extremely proactive in pursuing the employment hub, but the fault lied with the State Government's planning authorities.

"The VPA say that once they know who is in government, they will be ready to seek instruction from the Planning Minister - but they seem to get confused between what is in caretaker mode and what is in regular operations," he said.

"I'm not frustrated that it (Pakenham East) has gone through quickly as such, I'm frustrated that resources have been employed towards residential in favour of an employment precinct.

"This section of Greenhills Road land is catered for larger, corporate, multinational businesses that can be attracted to Cardinia, but

Pakenham landscape near Ryan Road, earmarked for Pakenham East which has reportedly been prioritised over Pakenham South's Employment Precinct. 166978 instead they are going to Laverton and Geelong because they don't have these broad sites here."

Mr Sowerby remarked that if the State Government wants to sign off 7000 new homes; it should have 7000 new jobs ready to go.

The earmarked site, adjoining the soon-to-be upgraded Healesville-Kooweerup Road, was rezoned for Urban Growth in 2008, but little progress has been made since.

RPIA Planning Consultant John Holland said the VPA has even ignored Cardinia Shire's requests to have the Pakenham South Employment Precinct Structure Plan fast-tracked.

"The council wanted to have them both pursued at the same time but the VPA have prioritised the Pakenham East PSP and just left Pakenham South in the lurch," he said.

"We've got this literally ready to go but this big housing development is taking priority.

"It is a state policy to bring jobs to the region and develop job opportunities, so it seems all the more stranger for them to be doing this."

Under the Pakenham South Employment PSP, 462 acres of land at Greenhills Road has been earmarked for industrial development.

Allan Tonks - who owns 87 acres of the precinct - claims he has been slugged exorbitant rates on his land for a decade, while the project has been left in limbo.

"It's come to a complete halt and yet my rates have gone up from around $4,000 to around $20,000 per year," he said.

"Yet we keep getting told that they're waiting on the Planning Minister to approve the PSP. "All the while they're rushing through this huge residential development in Pakenham East, but they aren't bothering to provide the jobs for all of these new people."

The Pakenham East PSP was drafted for public consultation in January this year, despite the employment precinct having been on council's radar for a decade.

In justifying the prioritisation of the booming new suburb - which many fear will further gridlock congestion across the region - the VPA claimed there had been an abundance of new jobs in the Pakenham area.

"Recent census data shows that between 2011 and 2016 there were an additional 6569 jobs based in the municipality, providing ample opportunities for residents to work locally," a statement about the Pakenham East PSP read.

Historic trees come down

Do you recognise this bike and driver?

100km/h over the limit

By Jessica Anstice Two historic oak trees in Berwick collapsed during the severe storm on Tuesday, 20 November.

The trees stood tall in High Street, Berwick and were adored by the community.

"The Berwick Business Group is shocked and devastated to hear that the trees fell this week in the storm," Berwick Business Group secretary Magda Dabaco said.

"We had secured funding with the City of Casey to light up these beautiful trees at night in time for Christmas.

"Unfortunately this will not proceed now, but the Berwick Business Group will endeavour to come to an appropriate alternative."

Berwick resident Donna McKerchar said she is "devastated to see these trees down".

"I think these trees brought the meaning of heritage of Berwick," she said.

"They gave the welcome shade from the sun at many memorial ceremonies. I've taught my children about the age of these trees and the beauty they brought to High Street whilst enjoying a chippy lunch under them. I believe many people would hold personal memories of these."

A motorbike rider was allegedly sighted travelling in excess of 140km/h in a 40km/h school zone along Princes Highway, Beaconsfield on 20 November.

Police are wanting to identify the rider and/ or the location of the pictured motorbike.

The rider is believed to live locally, wears distinctive red, black and white leathers and has a red satchel over his shoulder.

On 19 November, the rider evaded police on Princes Highway in Berwick and was last seen turning right into William Road, Berwick near Wilson Botanic Park.

The bike is possibly a red and black Yamaha R6 600, pre 2006, and is fitted with a false number plate similar to 1D-2MK. The plate is black with gold lettering and was also bent up.

If anyone has seen this rider and motorcycle, has dash cam footage, knows who the driver is or the location of the motorcycle, please contact leading senior constable Jones at the Cardinia Highway Patrol on 5945 2500. All information supplied will be anonymous.

Two historic oak trees in Berwick collapsed during the severe storm on Tuesday.

The $20,000 fund-raiser

By Jessica Anstice Narre Warren South P-12 College VCAL students have raised an impressive $20,000 for various causes.

With VCAL commencing in 2006 more than $100,000 has been raised by students - this year seeing $3000 going to a local family of a former student, $2000 to Breast Cancer Research and $15,000 going to Year 12 student Ace Bryans to assist with the purchase of a motorised wheelchair.

Elsie Tafiti attended Narre Warren South P-12 VCAL from 2014 to 2016 where she was known for her quiet nature and bone dry sense of humour.

She disliked numeracy and absolutely loved literacy - her talents driving her to write terrific poetry that showed enormous depth of understanding and empathy for others.

Tragically she was lost in a car accident that left family and friends distraught.

Money raised by this year's students and donated to her family will be used to erect a headstone in remembrance of her life.

Ace Bryans has been a student at the college since Year 7 and students were particularly delighted in seeing one of their own benefit from their hard work.

Ace suffers severe Dystonia-Neurological Movement Disorder and Neuromuscular Scoliosis as well as metabolic and gastrointestinal difficulties. Put simply - a perfect and brilliant mind but an incomplete and uncontrollable body.

Ace thanked his classmates with a prepared speech delivered by a program that he relies

on to communicate and this touching and humorous moment brought tears to many eyes.

Funds were raised by holding a benefit music concert, morning tea barbeques, trivia sessions, sports championships, the fourth annual 48 kilometre walk from P-12 to the city as well as the building and sale of a teardrop caravan by building and construction students.

"It was another amazing effort by amazing students," VCAL teacher Sharon Phillips said.

"We're looking forward to 2019."

By Jessica Anstice

Doveton Pool’s future makeover Consultation between Casey Council, Doveton College and private investors is continuing to take place to identity partnership opportunities for Doveton Swimming Pool.

"The pool is a very precious asset to the people of Doveton, but they don't always use it and that's a bit of a problem," Cr Wayne Smith said.

"Doveton College are really keen to partner with council to reactivate that whole area, including the pool.

"Doveton College would be the most community focused school in our city and possibly in the whole South-East."

Doveton College is located next to the Doveton Swimming Pool.

Cr Smith said council is "not trying to get rid of having a pool there but it might take a different form".

A report, called the Draft Casey Aquatic Facilities Strategy is currently being developed

by Casey Council and is anticipated to be completed and presented in February next year.

"We believe and hope that it (the strategy) will have lots of opportunities to revitalise the Doveton Pool," he said.

"Hopefully that whole area will be good for everyone in the community and beyond but also the Doveton College community which is a very worthy partner."

Extensive consultation has taken place with 1200 online surveys completed, internal and external workshops and various meetings held with key stakeholders.

Colour fun run raises more than $20,000

By Jessica Anstice Berwick Chase Primary School held its Colour Run for the second year, with 919 students participating and raising a total of $20,000 for the school.

The schools Katie Atkin said the students' commitment to the Fun Run was second to none.

"Our students are so excited about the money they've helped raise for school resources, and they thoroughly enjoyed participating alongside their peers as they cheered each other on," she said.

"Our Colour Run course consisted of lots of different obstacles including a hay bale mountain, crawling under an army net, jumping over tyres, being targeted by water pistols and of course navigating the colour powder stations.

"The schools fundraising group also supported the event by turning up with giant inflatable tunnels that the children ran under."

School Fun Run program director Brendan Hopp said the organisation took great pride in helping schools improve student wellbeing and their learning environment.

"School Fun Run has been supporting schools for more than 30 years," Mr Hopp said.

"As one of the few school fundraisers in Australia that is purely health based, we love seeing the kids take part as they work on building active and healthy lifestyles." pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Sam a leading light

By Brendan Rees When Cr Sam Aziz migrated to Australia from Egypt with his parents at the age of 10, he could not speak a word of English.

Today, the Mayor Emeritus for the City of Casey has officially launched a book, detailing his personal life, career, and the remarkable opportunities Australia has provided him.

The book titled 'He Leads,' also chronicles the lives of five leaders who share stories of success, celebration and hardship.

"Putting your life on paper is a surreal experience," Cr Aziz said, who is also former director at Australian Customs and Border Protection. "It's an opportunity for reflection; it was a really great chance to put it all there."

The book aims for people to learn how to overcome challenges, communicate and lead.

"I congratulate my fellow authors on their remarkable stories, and I thank my dear friend Samantha Jansen for offering me this rare opportunity," Cr Aziz said.

Cr Aziz, who obtained a Master's Degree in Defence and International Relations at the Australian Defence Force Academy, reveals his perspective on leadership, vision and shaping the future in the book.

"Some never before published life events have been revealed in this book," he explains.

This includes a "very harrowing incident" when, at the age of 25, he was responsible for coordinating a national response following a

terrorist attack on Australia, while working for the Counter Terrorism Agency.

"I am honoured to be one of six authors publishing my life story in this remarkable book."

"I also spoke about Bunjil Place: Never in our wildest dreams did we ever imagine building the biggest precinct in local government in the history of Australia," he says.

Cr Aziz also offers some words of encouragement to new Australian migrants: "If they apply their mind to things they can achieve some amazing things in our country.

"The formula is very simple, you basically work hard, stay within the law and success will come your way, there's no doubt about it."

Cr Sam Aziz signs his new book, He Leads.

Local CFA volunteers share important message Casey CFA volunteers have produced a video that will help crews to better handle the stresses of coordinating major incidents.

One of the volunteers behind the new video, Narre Warren North Fire Brigade member Linden Barry, said it shares an important message leading into what is predicted to be a busy summer.

CFA volunteers from the Casey and Cardinia groups are filmed in various role play roles in the video which is designed to improve understanding of incident management for a rapidly escalating bushfire.

Mr Barry, who recently received a CFA life membership and 35 year service medal, said the video was a great example of volunteers acting to improve safety and professionalism in fighting fires.

"It's a classic example of volunteers getting together, seeing a problem and doing something about it," he said.

Narre Warren North CFA members feature in the video.

"It's problem solving from the grass roots level."

Mr Barry said the video would help all firefighters to run a major incident.

"When it comes to incident management

you need to get organised quickly or you'll never have a good outcome," he said.

"It's a simple video with familiar local faces playing roles on how to manage a bushfire from fire truck, a field command vehicle and then

on to a communications-enhanced field command vehicle or a field operations vehicle."

The video highlights the importance of quickly getting strike team leaders, sector commanders and mentors to the brigade control point very early.

The video emerged from discussions among volunteer members of the district 8 operations sub-committee.

It is being distributed to brigades across the district as part of pre-summer briefings.

Mr Barry admits to being tough when it comes to volunteer training and safety.

"If you're going to put on yellows and get on a fire truck you need to know your game and take it seriously and that's what this is all about," Mr Barry said.

Volunteer fire Brigades Victoria CEO Andrew Ford said this was an example of the strength of CFA volunteers in outer metro regions.

By Brendan Rees A 22-year-old Cranbourne man has been arrested following an alleged non-fatal shooting in Cranbourne East on Wednesday 14 November.

Armed Crime Squad detectives arrested the man at an address in Pumphouse Crescent, Clyde. He is currently assisting police with their enquiries.

The shooting allegedly occurred at Elmslie Drive at 6am.

A 26-year-old man, who suffered lower body injuries, was taken to the Alfred Hospital with non-life threatening injuries and was in a stable condition.

A neighbour said there was sometimes fighting between two of men at the house, who looked like tradies aged between 25 and 35.

The investigation is ongoing.

Investigators believe the parties are known to each other.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

BUSINESS IN FOCUS

Let the recruitment experts help find the right staff

pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Innovative marketing solutions, such as video recruitment campaigns, are another GBS strength. Clients are interviewed about their business, what they do and the role they are looking to fill, which is collated into a marketing package.

“GBS really is a one stop shop”, Mr Dawson said.

“We support our clients in all their needs and work closely with them to find the best available staff.“ To help find the right person who will best fit a leadership role, GBS works with a service provider to undertake rigorous psychometric testing to evaluate the personality and character traits of an individual to help ensure the right fit for the right job, and the right match with the organisation's culture.

“Psychometric testing touches on leadership style for example, how the person is likely to naturally lead if in a management role," Mr Dawson explained.

Another useful tool is GBS Recruitment's 360 feedback whereby recruiters talk with a candidate’s peers, leaders and subordinates, particularly useful for senior management appointments.

“At GBS we live by the ethos that successful placements start with focusing on the right match between the employer and the employee. We are heavily focused on building strong partnerships with our clients to build the best, long lasting outcomes.

"We take the time to meet and understand your organisation's specific needs to ensure you're represented in high regard and the best

talent is appointed."

GBS is a member of the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association, the peak body for hire, contracting and work force solutions sectors.

"Expanding to Pakenham was a natural progression for us. We are still very much a

regional firm and clients appreciate that very close attention and personalised service, both during the recruitment process and long after the assignment," Mr Dawson said.

"We think we are an excellent fit for this growing region and the South East urban fringe.”

12405404-HM49-18

GBS Recruitment is dedicated to helping businesses in the Private, Government and Not for Profit sectors find the right staff for the right job.

“We are really focused on the needs of our clients, “said Sales and Strategy Director Michael Dawson.

"By building strong partnerships together we build the best appointment outcomes."

GBS recently opened an office in Pakenham to service the Casey Cardinia Region and the wider South East metropolitan area.

GBS was founded 24 years ago in Warragul

by Director Juli Halton and is currently led by General Manager and Director Rob Darby with offices in Warragul, Traralgon, Sale and now Pakenham.

The firm’s senior consultants and managers have more than 100 years’ combined experience in the recruitment industry placing temporary, labour hire, permanent and executive staff.

GBS Recruitment has four key areas of expertise - Industrial, Commercial, Educational and Executive recruitment services.

The Industrial division provides temporary and permanent staff across diverse industries including manufacturing, engineering, warehousing, construction, agri-business, local government, health, energy, hospitality, financial services and aged care.

The Commercial division supports government organisations and private corporations with staff appointments in finance and accounting, human resources, business support and administration, sales and marketing, information technology, event management, procurement and media and communications.

The Education division supplies Casual Replacement Teachers to primary and secondary schools as well as child care workers and education support staff.

“Our database of available teachers is growing and growing and we will be offering this service very soon from our Pakenham office”, Mr Dawson explained.

The fourth division deals with executive appointments. The executive division focuses on CEO, senior executive, COO, CFO and executive general manager appointments.

“We have achieved significant success to date, overseeing some very large CEO roles across Gippsland”, Mr Dawson said.

Although proudly regional, Mr Dawson said GBS has interstate and international reach when it comes to senior appointments.

GBS also offers payroll, out placement and redundancy services, skills testing and measurement, HR consultancy and psychometric assessments, and can also organise police and health checks.

Sikh Volunteers recognised To share in the celebration of the Sikh religion founder's birthday, Guru Nanak, four members from the Sikh Volunteers of Australia attended the City of Casey council meeting on Tuesday, 20 November.

"This is significant because the Sikh community are a wonderful group of people and are obviously a part of the Casey community," Cr Damien Rosario said.

"Their spirit is very much about giving back to the community. It's actually one of their basic principles to earn an honest living, to meditate with God and to share among the poor and give to the less fortunate."

At the meeting, the four Sikh volunteer rep-

resentatives presented the councillors with some sweets.

Mayor Amanda Stapledon said to the volunteers, "It's almost ironic that you are presenting to us, when it is us that are so grateful to you for all of the great work that you do in our community. They really are such a strong part of our community and volunteer on a regular basis and do so many wonderful things."

The Harcourts Warragul team.

12406825-RC49-18

TOP HONOUR FOR HARCOURTS TEAM

|

Thursday, 29 November, 2018

HARCOURTS Warragul was recently recognised as the top performing agency within the Harcourts Victoria Group at its quarterly awards night in October.

In fact it was a Regional Victoria double with Ballarat coming in at number 2 providing sound evidence to the current strength of the regional growth areas versus the decline in metropolitan markets.

Evan Broadbent, Managing Director at Harcourts Warragul, was thrilled with the result.

“I always believed we had the team, the marketplace, the Harcourts brand behind us, and the work ethics to get there if all of our stars aligned at the right time," Mr Broadbent said.

"They did and I couldn’t be happier and more proud of the team than I am right now. It’s no coincidence that we also collected 15 other awards on the night including number one office for service to clients, number one individual agent for service to clients (Jason Lee), and com.au

number for contribution to the community.

"These awards are more important to me than a number one office ranking, but ultimately they correlate each other. When you consider there are almost 100 other agencies in the group it’s a very pleasing result, and I would like to thank all of our clients for supporting us and utilising our services across both our sales and property management departments”.

Marcus Williams, Harcourts Australia CEO said “Evan and the team from Harcourts Warragul are exemplary of how building a strong bond with the community leads to a successful business".

"Not only do they donate to the Harcourts Foundation with each property they sell, but their extensive care for the local community has lead to the team being awarded the Harcourts Foundation Inspiration Award for the Quarter.” ● realestate.starcommunity.com.au

Locals find an AFL home

By Hayley Wildes and Nick Creely Two former Beaconsfield juniors had their AFL dreams realised in Friday’s Rookie Draft, with Jake Aarts joining Richmond and Tom Jok becoming an Essendon player.

The former Eagles had their names read out, and will begin their AFL journeys after toiling away at state-league level for several years.

Aarts, 24, a small forward who begin his footballing career at Holm Park before this year being listed at Eastern Football League powerhouse Noble Park, has been a constant presence in the front half for Richmond’s VFL program, and was taken by the AFL team on Friday with a view as being a ready-made player.

In an interview with Star News back in August this year, Aarts spoke about what he brings to the table as a small forward “The way I play my footy, it’s not really changed since my junior days,” he said.

“I love bringing energy and tackling, and you’ve got to defend as well, it’s not all offense, and being a small forward at Richmond, they need that in our team defence - it helps the midfield and backline with our forward pressure, so that’s what we work on.”

Tom Jok, 21, also had his dream realised, and joined his boyhood club Essendon, with the Sudanese-born utility finally getting a chance after being overlooked in previous drafts.

The former Dandenong Stingray, who was also a Beaconsfield junior, will add plenty of versatility to the Bombers’ list, with general manager of list and recruitment Adrian Dodoro telling the club’s website that Jok has all the right tools to make it at the highest level.

“Tom has a huge motor and has been around for a couple of years. He played for Collingwood in the VFL and really impressed us with the way he developed,“ he said.

“We think he’ll be able to give us some versatility. He’ll actually come to the club close to

our best athlete.

“He grew up barracking for Essendon and he’s hugely enthusiastic. We think we’ve got a reasonably good player.“ After claiming the 2018 TAC Cup premiership - the first in the club’s history - the Dandenong Stingrays also capped off a terrific season with six players finding AFL homes on Thursday and Friday.Sam Sturt was the biggest bolter of the entire draft and Stingrays forward was selected by the Fremantle Dockers with pick 17.

Despite playing just six games at the end of the season for the Rays, Sturt’s ability to have an impact on the contest and smarts around goal was tantalising.

As an extremely talented cricketer, Sturt only decided to focus on football late in the TAC Cup season and it’s fair to say it has paid dividends.

The next Ray to be snapped up was versatile defender Will Hamill. Hamill was a standout for Dandenong in their premiership-winning season and his drive off halfback started many attacking forays forward. He was selected by the Adelaide Crows with pick 30 and heads there with plenty of promise.

His ability to run and carry and make the right decision with ball in hand should see him have an impact on the AFL in the years to come.

Bailey Williams has long been seen as one of the premier big men in this draft class and he is headed to the reigning premiers; the West Coast Eagles. The Eagles snapped up Williams with pick 35 - which could prove to be a bargain due to Williams’ incredible agility and ability to take pack marks.

Williams’ stock did fall slightly throughout the season, but there’s no doubting his upside.

With the Rays going to all corners of the country, Zac Foot continued that trend when he was selected by the Sydney Swans with pick 51. Foot, who was a constant driving force for the Rays through the middle of the ground, heads to Sydney with the potential to a great

late selection for the Swans. He can run all day and doesn’t mind doing the dirty work either.

Toby Bedford was one of the biggest keys to Dandenong’s premiership run and he found a home at the Melbourne Demons after being selected with pick 75. As a member of Melbourne’s Next Generation Academy, Bedford was almost certain to find his way to the Demons as they could match any bid for him.

One of the classiest small forwards in the TAC Cup competition, Bedford is relentless and loves to put pressure on, whilst also possessing plenty of skill.

Lachie Young also found a home - heading to the Western Bulldogs after being selected with pick 6 in the rookie draft. Young impressed with his rebounding ability and run off half back.

The Gippsland Power had a fantastic season, finishing second on the ladder and falling just short of a TAC Cup grand final berth.

With so much talent and youth within the side, three players stood out as draft hopefuls and all three found AFL homes.

Warragul local Noah Gown - who quit a promising basketball career to focus on football this year - had that move validated when his name was called by the Essendon Bombers on Friday with selection 60.

The big key forward was one of the draft bolters, simply dominating with his strength for the Power this season and took out the club’s best and fairest award. Whilst some may call him a project player, he has all the attributes and a bit of flair that could see him become a focal point of Essendon’s forward line in the years to come.

Speaking of flair, Essendon also grabbed Gippsland’s excitement machine, Irving Mosquito with selection 38. Mosquito was expected to find his way to Hawthorn as a member of their Next Generation Academy, but the Bombers swooped in and the Hawks decided

Beaconsfield boy Jake Aarts has joined Richmond after a solid four years at VFL level.

Picture: COURTESY OF CAMERON GRIMES not to match the bid.

Mosquito has speed, smarts and plenty of x-factor. The prospect of him buzzing around the Bombers forward line in the years to come is an electrifying proposition to say the least.

Power captain Xavier Duursma will continue his footballing journey with the Power; the Port Adelaide Power. Selected with pick 18, Duursma is the type of player that lives for the contest and runs all day.

His leadership was on show all year for Gippsland and Port Adelaide got a player that will be ready to contribute very early on in his career

Panthers post huge total

By Russell Bennett

Devon Meadows player-coach Scott Clark belted a blistering century at Glover Reserve in the opening round of the Kookaburra Cup. Picture: FACEBOOK/DEVON MEADOWS CC

Maddi Chamberlain, from Berwick, receives a pass during Storm’s 17-and-under training session at the Wonthaggi netball courts. In total, seven Storm squads trained at the venue last Sunday afternoon - followed by dinner at the Tavern in Cape Patterson.

Picture: SUPPLIED

The Storm is on the move The Gippsland Storm Elite Development Netball Club has just recently completed its 2019 try-outs and with some incredible numbers taking part, the club has increased to 10 teams for next year.

The Storm has been pushing further into the Gippsland region with netball clinics held with Nyora and, more recently, Moe and now the whole club has moved a training session to Wonthaggi to show its true value of supporting the region that has supported the club. Another training session early in 2019 is also planned for Warragul.

The current teams are working hard and showing good results playing at the Waverley Netball Centre, with the open team sitting second, the under-17 team fifth, the 15-and-under 1 squad sitting in first, under-15 2 sitting forth, the 15 3 squad sitting second, 15 4 in forth, and 13-and-under squad in first position pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

on the ladder. Storm also ran a 13-and-under development team for the first half of 2018, which has played in tournaments all over the state.

Storm president Roger Palmer also offered congratulations to four more players who have just been picked up by Victorian Netball League (VNL) clubs for season 2019.

Ash Gill and Kyra Esler are off to the Southern Saints, Lanni Pryor is off to the Hawks, and Kaylah Loulanting has been picked up by DC Blaze. It's a great achievement for these young ladies, the Storm, and the Gippsland region to have such success.

With the inclusion of these four young athletes, it pushes the total number of Storm netballers to just over 20 playing in the VNL in 2019 - representing seven different VNL clubs in Melbourne.

Batting first, the Marygoons were dismissed for 96 early in the 19th over but their situation would have been far more dire if it wasn't for a vital 48 from the experienced Brad Senior (himself a former Pakenham Upper/Toomuc player) at the top of the order.

Brian Kulasena was the pick of the home side's bowlers, snaring 3/6 from his four overs.

The Yabbies lost the key wicket of Sahan Wijeratne at the start of their reply but seemed to recover through the middle order as a string of their batsmen got promising starts.

But Sean Somers, Daniel Glen, and marquee opening bowler Josh Dowling had other ideas as the Yabbies were astonishingly rolled for just 91 in 19 overs.

Previously in the opening round of the competition, Kooweerup (9/156) - despite missing some of their own big names - still had too much quality for home side Clyde (134) to handle. Demons favourite son Chris Bright had a game to remember - top scoring with 44, before claiming a memorable 2/1 with the ball - including finishing the contest on a hat-trick.

Elsewhere across the opening round, 39 not out from champion Merinda Park batsman Daniel McCalman steered the Cobras to victory with just three balls to spare at home against Catani.

The Cats were rolled for just 84 in 18 overs to start the clash, and Merinda Park finished on 2/85 from 19.3 overs.

The opening round of the West Gippsland Cricket Association's Kookaburra Cup Twenty20 tournament has delivered some startling results, not none more so than Devon Meadows' staggering annihilation of Emerald at Glover Reserve on Tuesday night.

The Panthers took the game right away from the understrength Bombers from the outset with marquee player Kaushalya Weeraratne (25) and Matt Hutchinson (28) opening up with a 54-run stand.

Hutchinson swung and missed at the first four balls of the game, but the innings quickly accelerated, and when Kyle Salerno and Scott Clark got together for their third-wicket stand it went to another level entirely - setting up an incredible 5/266 from their 20 overs.

Their 190 was the second biggest Twenty20 partnership in the club's history, and the Panthers' 266 could well be the new WGCA benchmark in the format.

Salerno, the skipper for the clash, recorded his fourth half-century in a row across all formats with his 67 from just 33 balls, but this was Clark's show.

The big man was simply unbelievable in reaching his century. His first 50 came off 33 balls, but he then reached his ton in just 51 bringing it up in style with a six on to the roof of the clubrooms.

He would go on to finish on an unbeaten 112, including 10 fours and seven sixes.

The bowling figures of the young Bombers' attack reflected the carnage - with Hunter Wardale and Bailey Tucker finishing with 1/43 and 2/43 respectively from their four overs apiece.

Predictably, Emerald was never in the hunt in its reply - ultimately recording 6/99 from their 20 overs with Trent Rolfs (54 not out) leading the way with a gallant unbeaten halfcentury of his own.
