Keeper Blaire Bunter celebrates Quinnie's birthday. 196106 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS

Birthday bash for cute critter Birthday girl Quinnie has celebrated her special day at Moonlit Sanctuary by devouring her favourite meat cake made from kangaroo, rat and kibble.

The Spot-tailed Quoll celebrated her fifth birthday at the Pearcedale wildlife park on Thursday 1 August. She is pictured enjoying a cuddle with keeper, Blaire Bunter.

Spot-tailed Quolls are an endangered species but the park is hoping to halt its decline by developing a national breeding program.

Quinnie is in great health and still enjoys chasing prey and a starring role in the park's 'Conservation in Action' wildlife show.

Thieves are back Tooradin footy club has been left hundreds of dollars out of pocket after being hit by heartless thieves three times in recent weeks.

Players at the Rutter Park Memorial Reserve club have been unable to have showers after thieves took off with two hot water units from a locked cage about three weeks ago.

In a second theft, the club’s vice-president Jeff Arbuckle said he noticed two 45kg gas bottles were missing on Friday 26 July while he was helping out at an Auskick session.

The club wasn’t able to open the canteen without the gas - leaving many disappointed kids without a feed.

“They all understand but it’s still just a letdown,” Mr Arbuckle said.

It’s believed the gas bottles were taken

about two days earlier.

On the same night, Mr Arbuckle said he noticed the club’s rear shutter roller door had also been jemmied but luckily nothing was taken.

“We sort of fixed it that night,” he said.

The bandits struck a third time during the weekend of 26-27 July where the roller door was smashed again.

“What we’ve seen in there, nothing’s been taken,” Mr Arbuckle said.

The club has been “screaming out” to Casey Council who owns the property to install new hot water units and a roller door, however the club will have to wear the costs of replacement gas bottles.

“I’ve got a plumber who could’ve done it the next day but it’s not up to us,” Mr Arbuckle said.

“There’s been no hot water for the kids to

have showers or anything like that; it’s just ... really not nice,” he said.

“When you’ve got away teams here too you ... it is a bit embarrassing.“ Mr Arbuckle said the thieves have “just gone for easy targets.”

“We’re a little country town ... What have you got to do? Dyna-bolt everything to the ground?“ he said.

“There was no games here I don’t think on the weekend which was lucky because we had no gas.”

The club relies on the canteen to raise money for their end of year presentations.

“It’s just a shame; it really is,“ Mr Arbuckle said.

Police are investigating. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Safety plea

By Brendan Rees Casey council wants a change of planning law to allow greater safety for places caring for the disabled.

Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon successfully moved a motion at a council meeting in July seeking “greater flexibility” with the state’s building regulations in order to provide accommodation that is “a safe and quiet environment”.

It comes after the Planning Minister rejected a council request to build a higher fence up from 1.5 metres to 1.9 metres - at the new Robust Home in Cranbourne - on the grounds that it did not meet planning guidelines.

According to Cr Stapledon this meant a three metre set back from the road on Hotham Street “diminished the amount of secure outdoor space that the high needs clients desperately need.”

“With robust homes such as Hotham Street, the people who live there need their space in a safe and quiet environment,” she said.

“We need to bring out planning and building controls in line with the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), giving oppor-

tunities for people with a disability to have a home to call their own.”

Anna Fleming, director of Purposed Housing said she supported council’s push for a fence exemption.

She said “space is a premium for our clients” and outdoor use was “critically important for their well-being.”

“Council and planners need to understand there’s going to be a lot more SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) properties built in the various municipalities and that they need to understand the needs of the residents are going to be a little bit different to your standard domestic houses.”

Cr Stapledon said council would seeking “greater flexibility and discretion” in the building controls especially with the introduction of the NDIS, facilitating more capacity to build homes for people with a disability.

“There are opportunities and a desire to apply flexible thinking to controls, where we can and it is justified,” she said.

“Council in March 2019 adopted a Housing Strategy workplan which included the preparation of a Social and Affordable Housing Strategy.”

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon is pushing for the front brick wall height of the Robust Home in Picture: ELLA HANNAY Cranbourne to be increased to improve safety. 196337

Safety crackdown on pools

By Brendan Rees Casey Council will begin registering all backyard swimming pools and spas from 1 December this year as part of a State Government plan to prevent drownings.

All councils will take charge of the mandatory registration scheme with all pool owners required to contact their council by April 14 next year and pay the small $37 registration fee.

Property owners will also be required to submit a current certificate of compliance for their pool or spa safety barrier.

Pool and spa owners will be charged a maximum of $20 to lodge their inspection compliance certificates, a process they will be required to undertake just once every three years.

Households will have 20 days to bring their

pools into compliance if an inspector identifies any safety concerns.

The state government introduced this new scheme after numerous coronial investigations found that un-maintained and noncompliant pool barriers had contributed to the deaths of children in backyard pools.

Swimming Pool and Spa Association of Victoria CEO, Chris Samartzis said: "As the peak body of the swimming pool and spa industry in Victoria, SPASA Victoria is delighted that these new safety measures will increase the enjoyment of pool and spa ownership for all Victorians."

Inspection certificates for all pools built before 1994 must be lodged by 30 October 2020.

For pools built between 1994 and 2010, owners will have until 30 April 2021, with all pools built after 2010 requiring to be certified by 29 October 2021.

IN BRIEF Good Samaritans take down car thief

Noisy neighbours?

No problem

A would-be car thief has been caught in Devon Meadows thanks to quick-thinking good Samaritans on Monday 5 August.

Police say a man was attempting steal a car parked at a premises on the South Gippsland Highway about 2.45pm.

It's alleged he attempted to drive off in the vehicle but stopped a short distance away before members of the public intervened and restrained him.

Police and emergency services attended about 3.15pm and the man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries for observation and he is currently assisting.

Police are investigating.

By Jessica Anstice A new app has been invented for residents to complain about noisy neighbours.'The Noise App' simply allows you to dob your neighbours in, as often as you want.

The City of Casey has been trialling the app since January.

"Council will evaluate the effectiveness of this, including the user experience, to determine if we will continue using it," City of Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said.

"Between January and 30 June 2019, we have had 104 noise cases reported to council via the app, 414 recordings and 157 public users.

"Council investigates certain types of noise complaints, such as those relating to dogs barking and the use of loud equipment during certain times, however it cannot investigate matters such as loud voices or shouting."

Once the application is downloaded to a mobile device, it can be used to record the noise in 30 second grabs.

The recording captures the date, time and location before the file is sent directly to council's database.

Once the information is submitted, council is notified on a desktop version of the app and via email.

"This app allows us to gain an accurate snapshot of the noise issue in question and assists officers to make quicker decisions about the need for further investigation, or to close the matter off," Cr Stapledon said.

"It also replaces 'paper diaries' that officers previously used to capture this type of information.

"This technology is designed to help make

Stranger's act of kindness

things easier for our residents, and is in keeping with our vision to become a Smart City and another move toward making Casey the most liveable city."

As for Cardinia, the shire is aware of the app however it is not being trailed at present.

"We are always looking for ways to improve

and streamline our services, and we are currently reviewing any opportunities to implement this application into our reporting process," a council spokesperson said.

Noise complaints in Cardinia can be reported to council using the online form on their website at www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/servicerequest

Narre nightclub fined for being too noisy

By Jessica Anstice A noisy Narre Warren nightclub has been fined $8060 for exceeding noise regulations.

Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) received a number of noise complaints about Empire and installed a noise logger in February.

The logger, which was located within a residential area some 250 metres away, recorded thumping, low frequency noise up to seven decibels above the day/evening noise limit and up to 21 decibels above the night noise limit of 51dBZ. As decibels are a logarithmic scale, an increase of 10dBZ is perceived by the ear as a doubling of the loudness of a sound.

EPA issued Empire a Pollution Abatement Notice and the company installed noise controls but when EPA undertook further moni-

toring in April, the noise was at 62 decibels - 11 decibels above the night noise limit.

EPA Southern Metropolitan Regional Manager Marleen Mathias said excessive noise could affect the health of residents.

“Excessive noise can cause lack of sleep and lead to stress and anxiety, which is why noise regulations were created,” she said.

“While the nightclub is located in a largely industrial area of Narre Warren, the noise was still recorded as excessive some 250m away which is a considerable distance.

“It’s especially disappointing that even after installing sound measures, the club still exceeded the night-time limit.”

Ms Mathias said Empire’s director stated the April exceedance was the result of a large music function where they later found out sound crews took measures to bypass the noise limiters.

“Empire has now installed limiters in the main room, installed acoustic insulation, stationed extra security on the doors to ensure they remain closed and taken measures to ensure the limiters can only be reached by venue management,” Ms Mathias said.

“All promoters who book live acts at the venue must also acknowledge the noise limits.”

Ms Mathias said EPA would continue to monitor the venue if there were any further reports.

“People experiencing industrial noise disturbances are urged to report it to EPA’s pollution hotline on 1300 EPA VIC (1300 372 842),” she said.

Under the Environment Protection Act 1970 and the Infringements Act 2008, Empire has the right to have the fine reviewed or have the matter determined by a court.

A Cranbourne elderly man has expressed his gratitude after two people paid for his shopping at Cranbourne Park shopping centre.

Peter Heywood said he tried to pay for a couple of magazines at Woolworths last month but his gift card was rejected.

He was told by the cashier there was a "glitch in the computer system" and he couldn't pay for the items.

"The cashier said 'could you go have a coffee somewhere and come back a bit later?'" the 74-year-old said.

While waiting in the food court for a few minutes, Mr Heywood said he was approached by two women carrying a bag who asked if it belonged to him.

"She handed me the bag with the magazines and whatever else it was," he said.

"I said I haven't paid for them. They said 'that's alright we've paid for them'.

"They must have been behind me in the queue and they saw what happened," Mr Heywood added.

Mr Heywood said he was most thankful for the pair whom he had never met before.

Man arrested for burglary A 38-year-old man has been arrested following a burglary in Berwick last week.

A jewellery store on O'Shea Road was broken into about 2.40am on Thursday 1 August.

Once inside the premises it's alleged the offender smashed a display cabinet and stole 48 men's rings.

Information received led Detectives from Casey Crime Investigation Unit to execute a warrant in Berwick about 3pm the same day.

They arrested the Berwick man and recovered the stolen property.

He was charged with theft and burglary and bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 30 September.

THE LOWDOWN

Winging her way to success The popular annual Casey Cardinia Women’s Business lunch is on again this Friday 9 August. While tickets may be sold out, the Gazette asked guest speaker Emma Isaacs to share some of her tips for the Casey Cardinia Region’s budding entrepreneurs, so that everyone can benefit from a little of Emma’s wisdom and experience. The theme of Emma’s address to Friday’s lunch is ’The magic of winging it’.

You’re the CEO of a successful international business, so what do you mean ‘winging it’?

I’ve always been someone who tries new things without knowing how they’re going to turn out.

I dropped out of uni at 18, started my first business soon after and I bought Business Chicks when I was 24. I believe in trusting your gut and having a go!

What advice can you share with people considering exploring their own entrepreneurial spirit?

If you’ve got a dream or a goal, just take one small step at a time. What’s that quote about not needing to see the whole staircase? It’s true - it’s all about taking one step at a time.

It’s also about getting your mindset right first though. This saying is also true: “If you believe you can, or can’t, you’re right.” I see a lot of women drown in self-doubt and a lack of selfconfidence. I believe in faking it til you make it and just having a go.

What’s the secret… to balancing work and family?

In terms of the ‘juggle,’ I try and be as easy going as possible and I try and be kind to myself and don’t necessarily strive for the elusive ‘balance’. I know I have no balance and that’s the way life just is for now. I just try to understand my values and what’s important to me and focus on those things. For now, it’s about growing the business and it’s about spending time with my family. Everything else pales in comparison, but it won’t always be this way. My advice would be to learn to say no lots, and above all, be gentle and kind to yourself!

Do you have a piece of advice that has served you well?

My mum always taught me to be kind to everyone, and it’s a lesson that’s served me well.

I always try and be polite, friendly and kind to everyone I meet.

What is your life motto?

‘If it is to be, then it’s up to me’ is usually the one I fall back on.

Who do you admire in business?

I admire leaders like Richard Branson who continues to evolve and make business fun; and Diane von Furstenberg because she’s built a global brand and worked hard her whole life but is generous and kind at the same time.

This event is presented by the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire.

OPEN SCHOOL PYP & MYP Campuses Tuesday, 20 August - 9:00am Thursday, 22 August - 1:30pm • Private Bus Service • Established Facilities • ELC - Year 6 (growing to Year 12) Come and see what makes Rivercrest Unique!

Touch and go dog rescue A car careered off the road in Langwarrin earlier this month, smashing through road signs and wooden sleepers before colliding with a tree.

Inside the wreck were a man and his dog.

Ambulance Victoria was attending to the driver when CFA crews from Frankston and Langwarrin arrived on the scene.

Station Officer Sam McDonald was among them.

First making sure the man was being treated, he then turned his attention to 'Ernie' the seven-year-old American Staffordshire cross sitting "motionless" on the back seat.

"Being a dog owner myself, I knew straight away that he wasn't well," Sam said.

"The poor thing would've been thrown around the car pretty badly."

But when paramedics began walking the man to the ambulance, Sam said Ernie took a turn for the worse.

"He was getting extremely anxious seeing his owner walking away, so we lifted him out of the back seat and laid him on the ground.

"His breathing was laboured, he was very limp, and he was really starting to deteriorate."

Ernie was offered water but refused to drink, and he was kept warm by an Ambulance Victoria blanket.

Sam requested a vet and soon staff from Karingal Veterinary Hospital were taking Ernie away.

"All four of us that attended are dog owners so we were all touched by it," Sam said.

Once at hospital, Ernie was found to be suffering from life-threatening injuries, including a

ruptured spleen, and quickly rushed to surgery.

With his spleen removed and the operation a success, vets then went one step further and set up a crowd funding page to help the owner.

Within days, thousands of dollars had been raised.

Two days later and Ernie was ready to go home.

"Part of our job is protection of life and property, and life isn't restricted to human beings," Sam said.

"So it's a good result."

RAY’S SAY

Pakenham Berwick Cranbourne Drouin

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On Monday 5 August a story was shared to the Cranbourne and Berwick Star News Facebook pages about the state opposition accusing the State Government of "washing their hands" of the poor train performances on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines. Here's how they responded: Sherrie Rossiter: I just don't want to spend two hours getting home from the footy because the trains run late on a service that runs every 20 minutes and that has no Cranbourne trains from Richmond which meant changing and waiting a further 20 minutes for one from Cranbourne.

Ben Kotsch: I don't like Dan, but let's wait till both lines are finished before passing judgment.

Gavin Balzary: The same opposition party that sold off the public transport system and the last time they were in government invested nothing into improving the system? Yeah, forgive me for not taking on board their thoughts on public transport.

Mason Pelican Oneill: So it's going to be another four years before dual lines for Cranbourne. By that time the government will have built twice as many homes and will have to make Thompson's road eight lanes each way.

Josh’s fighting for a cure Josh Thomas recently returned from his first round of treatment in the USA for a rare type of malformation of the blood vessels of his brain.

Born with Vein of Galen Malformation (VGM), Josh's condition has deteriorated since 2010.

His walking wasn't as smooth, his speech wasn't as clear and his memory was fading.

But since return from the USA, his family have seen drastic improvement.

On Saturday the 27 July, Josh, 22, was joined by many of his family and friends for a fundraiser. Hosted in the Casey City Church auditorium, the family were able to raise $5,000 for Josh's next round of treatment in the USA. The Institute of Neurological Recovery in Florida has been investigating the use of a comparatively new drug called Etanercept, developed for inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

The drug targets a protein called tumour

necrosis factor, which clusters around damaged areas of the brain and in excess can stop cell regrowth, and is now being used in America for stroke victims.

This treatment has visibly helped in Joshua's case to remove the inflammation caused by the stroke and enabled Josh to function far better than he has been.

After 18 months doctors have tried to stabilise him and halt the deterioration but nothing is working.

His specialists believe the blood vessels in his brain are becoming tired and are struggling to keep up with the abnormal flow within his brain.

VGM consists of abnormal connections between the arteries and deep draining veins, and lacks capillaries to slow the blood flow between arteries and veins.

Without capillaries, blood is shunted directly into the vein at high output. This, in

turn, increases the workload of the heart.

At the fundraiser night, Hope Australia Soccer Academy (HASA), a unique not-for-profit program also lent their support.

Lamartine da Silva and Joaquim Santos Silva, soccer coaches from Brazil, each gave an encouraging word and donated a World Cup soccer jersey for the auction that helped raise money for Josh.

Through the generous donations of time and funds, this family is now one step closer to their dream to get Joshua back to Florida for more life changing treatment in six to 12 months.

A GoFundMe page has been set up by family. To donate, visit: https://au.gofundme.com/ fpvum-josh039s-journey.

Josh thanks the crowd for their generosity.

Train pain is ‘palpable’ - and government washes hands

By Brendan Rees Opposition transport spokesman David Davis has accused the State Government of "washing their hands" of the "deteriorating" train performances on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines.

It comes as data from Public Transport Victoria (PTV) revealed 16 per cent of trains failed to arrive on time on the Cranbourne line for the month of June.

"There is a palpable frustration - people just want to rely on services," Mr Davis said.

"The Premier and his minister have got to a get a grip on this performance."

Mr Davis said the State Government failed to achieve acceptable performance targets on

the Cranbourne line every month in the past financial year which was "seriously impacting commuters."

PTV figures also revealed 15.2 per cent of trains failed to arrive on time on the Pakenham line in June.

A State Government spokesperson said they "won't take lectures from the Liberals," who they say stopped work on the Metro Tunnel and "failed to start a single major public transport project anywhere in Victoria last time they were in office."

"We've invested more in improving services on the Cranbourne-Pakenham line than any Government in history - upgrading power and signalling, removing every level crossing between Dandenong and the city and ordering

65 new high capacity trains that will start running exclusively on the Dandenong corridor until the Metro Tunnel opens," the spokesperson said.

"We're also duplicating the Cranbourne line to run more trains, and holding our operators to account through tougher contracts that put passengers first."

Last month, a Metro spokesperson said more services were being run "than ever before" on the Cranbourne line.

Signalling and upgrade works on the Metro Tunnel would also result in "more reliable journeys" on the Cranbourne line, the spokesman said.

However, Mr Davis hit back saying any rail works were not taken into account with PTV's

performance data.

"If there's a scheduled closure or schedule maintenance all of those are taken out and treated separately," he said.

He added: "Since the Liberal Nationals left office, performance on the Cranbourne line has plunged 8.5 percentage points and on the Pakenham line by 6.2 percentage points under Daniel Andrews - performance is now shocking."

The State Government says eight kilometres of single track from Dandenong to Cranbourne will be duplicated as part of a $750 million Cranbourne line upgrade - with construction to start in 2021 and finished by 2023.

A life-long dream fulfilled

By Brendan Rees Just like the protagonist of her new book, Christine Reeve is one determined person.

She began writing a children's story more than two decades ago on a typewriter.

And today the 55-year-old is celebrating with the release of her first children's book 'A Clown with Courage' which follows a 16-year-old boy who dreams of becoming a rodeo clown.

Christine, who is a track-work rider at the Cranbourne Training Complex, says it's been her life-long dream to have her first book published.

And she never gave up when she initially had "no takers" from publishers until she landed luck in America.

"When I broke my wrist a couple of years ago I dragged it out," she explained.

"I had to change a few things because it was

a long time ago and sent it off to a publisher (Austin Macauley Publishers) and they accepted it.

"It's the best; just the best," the Australia Post worker says.

Born in New Zealand, Christine has been riding horses since the age of 15 and went on to become a champion jumps jockey.

The Cranbourne resident says she's always had a passion for writing and loves the spectacle of rodeo.

The says the story idea for her new book came to mind when she undertook a writing course.

"I remember when I finally finished it my tutor said 'this will get published'," she says.

"I've been sitting on it a long because I just don't have the time."

The book is available in book stores and online.

Liver a gift of life for Cranbourne resident

By Danielle Kutchel Mamdouh Youssef knows all too well how lifechanging organ donations can be.

The Cranbourne resident was the recipient of a liver transplant in 2012. The gift has allowed him to move forward in life, with a new career and a daughter.

In 2011, he became life-threateningly sick and ended up in a coma in Dandenong Hospital. Specialists told him his liver was no longer functioning and he was moved to the Austin, where he waited until a donor became available.

Mamdouh describes the donated liver as "a gift from God".

"It means a lot - it means life for my family, my daughter, who came two years after the transplant."

Cranbourne is leading the way in organ donation in Victoria.

Data provided by DonateLife Victoria shows that postcode 3977 had more people register on the Australian Organ Donor Register in 2018 than any other postcode in Victoria A total of 769 Cranbourne residents recorded their intention to become organ and tissue donors last year.

DonateLife Victoria State Medical Director Dr Rohit D'Costa thanked the residents of Cranbourne for joining the Australian Organ Donor Register.

"This is a fantastic effort by the residents of Cranbourne, and I encourage adults across Victoria to follow their lead," Dr D'Costa said.

"Registering your decision about organ and

tissue donation - and talking to your family is important as it leaves no doubt about your wishes, should the worst happen. Whether your decision about organ donation is a 'yes' or 'no', it's important that you make it known."

There are currently 1551 Australians waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.

DonateLife Week runs from 28 July to 4 August, and the Rotary Club of Cranbourne has joined to call to encourage residents to sign up to be an organ donor.

Rotary is asking people to find their 'plus one', a colleague, neighbour, teammate or other relatives who can be encouraged to register to be an organ and tissue donor too.

"Organ and tissue donation is the ultimate gift. You can save and improve the lives of

many people as an organ and tissue donor," said Garry Luxford, President of the Rotary Club of Cranbourne.

Five years on from his transplant, Mr Youssef is loving life with his wife and daughter, a new house and a new job as a bus driver.

He wishes he could know the name of his organ donor so he could lay a flower on his grave to say thankyou.

While he himself is unable to donate organs or even blood, to return the favour, Mr Youssef's wife has since signed up to become a donor.

"She knows the experience and how much it means," he said.

"It gives life for other people when they need it."

Remembered

By Danielle Kutchel Students at Alkira Secondary College looked to the past for lessons for a kinder future at their seventh annual Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony.

The ceremony took place at the College on Tuesday 30 July and was attended by Cranbourne MP Pauline Richards and City of Casey deputy mayor Rosalie Crestani, anti-racism not for profit Courage to Care and members of the Jewish community.

The ceremony is an opportunity to reflect on the Holocaust and other genocides and what lessons can be learned from history.

On entering the ceremony, guests were given a slip of paper printed with the name of a Holocaust victim. Later, guests laid stones on a table in memory of those who lost their lives, in an homage to the Jewish custom of putting stones on graves.

Professor Gilah Leder AM, a survivor, told those assembled of the slow changes in society that led to the murder of the Jews, from not being allowed to go for a walk to not being allowed to go to the shops.

She was saved by a foster family, who took her in and hid her to keep her safe from prying eyes and authorities.

"I don't find it all that easy to stand in front of all these people I don't know and talk about personal things, but I see it as a way of thanking my foster family," she told Star News.

"When I said they put their lives and the lives of their family in danger, that's exactly what I meant. This is a way of thanking them and also hoping their example will inspire other people."

Other guest speakers urged students not to be bystanders, but rather to stand up against injustice, racism and persecution.

Alkira teacher Nicole Scott said students at the school spend a term in year 10 studying World War Two, especially human rights and

Professor Gilah Leder AM spoke of her experience as a Holocaust survivor. 194192 freedoms and the stories of people who stood up to injustice.

Prior to the ceremony, Ms Scott and fellow teacher Kristine Wolfe were presented with awards for excellence in Holocaust education from Gandel Philanthropy.

In 2013, the teachers attended a Gandel conference at Yad Vashem in Israel where they learned how to teach students about the Holocaust. Alkira's ceremony was born from their experiences there.

Nicole Brittain, grant manager at Gandel Philanthropy, said the teachers had taken on board the lessons of their trip to Israel.

"Nicole and Kristine really are the jewel in the crown in terms of our teachers. They've come back and really grasped the gift they were given to be able to go to Israel and learn about how to teach the Holocaust," she said.

"We try to use the memory of the Holocaust in two ways, so never to forget to keep the memory alive, and also to ... know that this type of behaviour is unacceptable ... and it's very important to be an upstander, not a bystander."

Ms Scott said the ceremony was a valuable experience for all attendees and guests.

"It remembers everything bad that's happened and it's like everyone attending making a pledge to make the world a bit better," she said.

Police reset licence points

By Brendan Rees A police road safety blitz has caught 358 drivers in the southern metro region breaking the law.

As part of Operation Reset from 1-4 August police from CaseyGreater, Dandenong, and Cardinia came together in an effort to reduce the number of lives being lost on our roads.

Unregistered vehicles topped the list of offences with 123 drivers caught while 98 drivers were detected speeding.

During the operation, 30 drug drivers, nine drink drivers, 23 mobile phone offences, four disqualified drivers, three seat belt offences, 26 impounds, and 42 unlicensed drivers were also detected.

Southern Metro Region Acting Commander

Tony Silva said it was alarming to see the number of dangerous choices people continue to make when they get behind the wheel.

"It's a harsh reality of our roads that every offence, be it speeding, drink or drug driving, or failure to wear seatbelts, can take a life in a split second," A/Cmdr Silva said.

"Poor driver behaviour on our roads continues to kill and injure family, friends and loved ones.

"The operation may have finished but our focus to reset this behaviour on our roads remains.

"We are incredibly saddened by how many lives have already been lost in Victoria's south east this year, with 24 people not returning home to their families," A/Cmdr Silva said.

Goose on the Unicycle!

Breakfast with Samuel Johnson...

Samuel Johnson is Love Your Sister’s resident ‘de-lebrity’ and has been disgracing our stages and screen as a middling actor for well beyond two decades now. He is best known for his work on cult hit The Secret Life of Us and cop drama Rush!

Most importantly, Samuel Johnson is Connie Johnson’s little brother. After his big sister Connie was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer Samuel made Connie the promise of a lifetime. To ride his unicycle around the entire country for her in an effort to remind every young mum in the land to be breast aware. Samuel kept his promise. He spent a whole year atop a unicycle vowing to do whatever it takes to remind young mums to check their boobs.

Besides being a goose on a unicycle, Samuel begrudgingly bears the title of Chief Flagbearer here at Love Your Sister.

He hustles really hard and is constantly obsessing about how to improve Love Your Sister.

Samuel is a bit of a nutter. He can be volatile. When he’s on there’s nothing like it, when he’s off you won’t know where he is. He’s an unpredictable, intense, loving, emotional and often over-enthusiastic guy whose pet hate is when his ‘passion’ gets taken personally.

Date: Wednesday 25 Sept 2019 Time: 7am - 9am. 6.45am for Registration Venue: Cardinia Cultural Centre 40 Lakeside Blvd, Pakenham Cost: $60 Bookings essential: Bookings can be made via https://www.trybooking.com/439276 Need more info: Contact Chrissy Lloyd on 5945 4387 or email C.Lloyd@cardinia.vic.gov.au

Numbers up for tree day

By Brendan Rees

Narre Warren SES members with their individual awards.

SES takes award Narre Warren SES has won the highly coveted STORM Award after being declared the busiest unit in the southern metro area.

The team was presented their award during the annual SES Central Awards dinner held in Melbourne on 27 July which reflects the hard work and achievements of the dedicated SES volunteers.

Narre Warren SES responded to the most requests for assistance with 600 storm related jobs in the City of Casey in the past financial year.

The unit's controller Damian Burns said he wasn't surprised the unit received the award after attending more than 160 storm related jobs on 30 January alone.

"Covering an area of more than 400 square kilometres, the City of Casey is one of the largest patches in Southern Metro, and it's con-

tinuing to grow," he said.

"For our unit, this means a very large community that requires our support."

Mr Burns added that each year the unit's members collectively volunteer more than 30,000 on-call hours to crew the SES vehicles and more than 8,500 on-call hours triaging events.

"What amazes me most is that some people are in disbelief when they learn that we're not paid for the hours we put in - even it's 2am, Mother's Day or even the holiday season; we do what we do because we're passionate about the safety of our community," he said.

"We have volunteers from all walks of life, backgrounds and professions and they all join for different reasons, be it personal or professional. However, what we all have in common is the desire to give back to our community."

As well as claiming the STORM award, five members of the unit were recipients of long service awards, namely: Damian Burns, 10 years long service Anthony Jackson, 10 years long service Cheryl Cross, 10 years long service Sally Higgs, 5 years long service Tristan Higgs, 5 years long service Mr Burns added how incredibly proud he was of the unit and the dedication of every member.

SES Narre Warren is also excited to announce that it will soon be launching its youth programme. Open to those aged between 15 to 18, the unit will be hosting an information night on Wednesday 28 August at Vesper Drive, Narre Warren.

A record number of more than 500 residents rolled up their sleeves to show their support for National Tree Day on Sunday 29 July.

They gathered at Bayview Park in Narre Warren for an annual tree planting activity at the old tip site as part of Casey Council's Growing a Green Web program which has been running for over 20 years.

The day was a chance for the community to plant more than 10,000 Indigenous plants and take part in a free celebratory lunch.

The council aims to create a beautiful nature play area by re-vegetation of the former landfill site which has also been transformed into a 1001 steps tourist attraction.

School celebrates big 3-0

By Brendan Rees Narre Warren's Dandenong Valley Special Developmental School has reached a significant milestone, celebrating 30 years since opening its doors.

About 400 people including past and present students, staff, and their families gathered at an open day on Saturday 3 August.

The day was filled with stories and memories, a display of the school's sensory garden, and an opportunity for visitors to tour newly refurbished rooms.

Attendees could also walk through years of photos from the 'good old days' to present.

There was also a display of past bike camps including the school's tandem bike on the purpose built bike rack.

The school caters for children and young people with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities from age five to 18 years.

The original school was built with seven

brick classrooms which were considered stateof-the-art at the time.

Past principal Margaret Edmunds shared her thoughts on the day, speaking of the school culture of serving the community.

Current principal Sue Chernishoff and the two assistant principals, Judy Norton and Michael Weston cut three birthday cakes - one for each decade.

Special education teacher Jennifer Prince said families of past students were "surprised and excited at how the school had grown and changed."

This included the senior and junior playgrounds, the hydrotherapy centre improvements, the horticultural centre, the sensory room improvements and the beautiful water wall in the administration building.

Ms Prince added: "Some of our staff have been at the school for over twenty years."

Fun also included bubbles, face painting, and a sausage sizzle.

Mum’s scratchie win comes true A Berwick woman has confessed to being in a "mild state of shock" after claiming a $100,000 instant scratch-it win.

Sharing her joy, the winner recounted how she initially thought she had only won $750.

"I was scratching the ticket and initially thought I had scratched eight words which would have won me $750," she explained.

"So I double checked each letter and then wrote out each word that I had scratched off and thought I had won $10,000.

The woman purchased her $5 crosswords instant Scratch-Its ticket ticket at Parkhill Berwick News and Lotto in Berwick.

"I was so excited! I went into the office the next day to claim the prize and when I got

there I told the lady behind the counter I originally thought I had only won $750," she said.

"She kind of looked at me funny and said 'you definitely didn't win the amount you think'.

"That's when she told me I had actually won $100,000! I couldn't believe it! I was in such shock.

When asked how she celebrated the windfall, the happy woman revealed she'd already had her adult children around to celebrate.

"I just couldn't wait to tell them so I had them all over so I could let them know the exciting news!" she said.

"When I told them they were in happy tears.

I wasn't too far behind them.

"We cracked open a bottle of champagne and celebrated together!"

The family woman revealed the win was "truly life-changing" and would allow her to realise her long-held dream of travelling.

Parkhill Berwick News and Lotto team member Moira Parker said it was a thrill to know one of their regular customers had scored a top prize.

"We were absolutely flabbergasted when we found out we'd sold another top prize winning Instant Scratch-Its!" she said.

"This is the second $5 Crosswords top prize we've sold here. We like to think of ourselves as a bit of a lucky store for scratchies.

Charity plea

By Mitchell Clarke Kelly Warren and her family have been providing free food and clothes to those in need for over two years but the City of Casey has told them it’s time to move on and operate elsewhere.

Operating out of their Narre Warren carport, Ms Warren has built strong connections with the number of people who utilise her service, stating it’s something she’s done for years and would hate for it to cease now.

“These are families, mothers with children, pensioners, they’re normal people, I would love to keep this local because I just love this community,” Ms Warren said.

“That’s why I don’t want to move, these people come from public transport, they catch a bus here, and I don’t want to let them down.”

But she might be left with no choice, being forced to scope out the suitability of other locations, meaning the 100 odd people who rely on her service will be left looking for other alternatives to put a meal on their tables.

“Look, if there’s a space nearby, we’d be crazy not to take it,” she explained.

“I’d just love to have a council that supported us and our work.”

In a statement, the City of Casey said they appreciated the assistance that Bk 2 Basics provides to vulnerable members of our community.

But despite this, they say conducting warehousing and distribution services from a residential premise which does not meet the Casey Planning Scheme requirements.

“Planning Officers have therefore requested the organisation seek alternative premises to undertake their activities from,” the statement read.

“The City of Casey provided an additional two months (until 29 August) from the original notice advising Ms Warren that she is in breach

Kelly Warren with Kaidi, Shanleigh and Rhyan.

179758

of planning regulations, for Bk 2 Basics to seek an alternative location.”

There had been rumours circling that Ms Warren’s charity was causing disharmony among her neighbours, leading to complaints to council, however she was quick to shut down the speculations.

“I love where we live and I love our neighbours, I wouldn’t move from here - it’s not often you have the relationship that I have with them,” she said.

All of her neighbours volunteer regularly with Bk 2 Basics, with the exception of two who regularly use the service as a way to eat.

“I know it’s not my neighbours complaining, why would they want to shoot themselves in the foot?”

“People feel comfortable coming here because we don’t ask questions, I don’t want them to tell me why they’re here, I just want to help them,” Ms Warren added.

A petition to City of Casey to support Bk 2 Basics in caring for disadvantaged people was launched on Tuesday 30 July and has already garnered over 1200 signatures.

It’s thyme in the garden!

By Brendan Rees Healthy lunches will be on the menu for Tooradin Primary School students after planting their own vegie garden on Wednesday 31 July.

With the help of Bunnings Warehouse staff in Clyde the group built a raised herb garden outside the school's cooking classroom.

They planted a wide range of herbs, vegetables and edible flowers that will be transformed into tantalising dishes for all students.

"This garden area was built as a raised bed to allow students of all abilities to easily access

the enjoyment of growing their own ingredients and harvesting these to create taste sensations" the school's kitchen specialist Sam Pendrey said.

She said Bunnings provided some new and unusual plants such as globe artichokes, peppermint, midyim berry, blueberries and bush peppermint which will challenge them to explore exciting new flavours.

"The next thrill for students will be investigating more herbs that can fill this space and further expand their culinary experience in the school cooking and garden program," she said.

Cranbourne East Secondary College is ready to rock, with rehearsals well under way for their upcoming school musical.

Just under 70 students will be performing their rendition of 'We Will Rock You', ably assisted by a backstage crew ensuring the show goes off without a hitch.

Head of performing arts at the school, Hannah Witteveen, said musicals like this are an important part of the school's curriculum.

"A lot of our kids don't have access to shows in the community, so that's why we do a production every year," she explained.

"That's why a lot of teachers and students jump on board- they can't get the opportunity elsewhere."

Production coordinators Rebecca Grey and Jessica Latchford are providing ample opportunities for students to get their lines down pat. Rehearsals for the production are twice per week and will be ramped up in August with the addition of a Saturday practice too.

"It's a lot of time and effort, but we see the value it gives to the kids. We've got so many eager kids that we're able to run something like this every year," Ms Witteveen said.

The rock show is aimed at engaging students through performing arts and has tied in with a revamp of the school's music program.

This year, Cranbourne East Secondary introduced a new performing arts pathway for year nines, which allows them to specialise in dance, drama or music and create and perform their own shows.

The school has also started running open

By Brendan Rees Bridget O'Toole has tried to block out the painful memory the day her husband was tragically killed by two stab wounds to the upper chest.

"I've got to be kinder to myself because you torture yourself thinking could've done more," says Mrs O'Toole. "Survivor guilt isn't good."

It was 5pm on 12 July 2013 when a man wielding a 20-centimetre carving knife entered Bridget and Dermot O'Toole's jewellery store in Hastings.

"I thought it was a customer coming in and I just got up to serve him," she said.

However Mrs O'Toole, of Lyndhurst, was attacked by the armed assailant who pushed her into a glass cabinet and stabbed her several times.

"He was screaming like a lunatic," she recalled.

During the attack Mr O'Toole, who suffered from Parkinson's Disease, came out from the workshop to defend his wife and began wrestling with the assailant.

"We were just trying to fight him off ... Dermot was desperately trying to save me."

"Dermot fell over, he tripped over and he turned on him and stabbed him to death," she said.

Mrs O'Toole attempted to pull the offender away from her husband and in doing so she was

further assaulted. The assailant then ran out of the shop.

Mr O'Toole, 64, was fatally wounded and tragically died at the scene.

Mrs O'Toole was taken to hospital where she had to undergo plastic surgery for the extensive serious stab and slash wounds and the glass shards that were embedded in her back.

For her actions, Mrs O'Toole was awarded the 2018 Gold Clarke Medal during a presentation at the Melbourne Town Hall on Thursday 23 August.

Mr O'Toole, 64, was fatally wounded and tragically died at the scene.

Mrs O'Toole was taken to hospital where she had to undergo plastic surgery for the extensive serious stab and slash wounds and the glass shards that were embedded in her back.

For her actions, Mrs O'Toole was awarded the 2018 Gold Clarke Medal during a presentation at the Melbourne Town Hall on Thursday 23 August.

"It was a beautiful day," says Mrs O'Toole. "I was totally humbled and to be deemed worthy of such a prestigious award I couldn't believe it."

The medal is an award of The Royal Humane Society of Australasia and is the Society's highest award for the most outstanding case of bravery.

Mr O'Toole was posthumously awarded the Star of Courage in 2017 - Australia's highest bravery accolades which recognises "acts of conspicuous courage in circumstances of great peril".

The robber, Gavin Perry, 27, was high after taking ice and on parole at the time of the murder.

He was jailed for 27 years in 2014 for the crime.

Mrs O'Toole remembers her husband of 41 years as a wonderful man who was a funny, kind and loyal man."I had the best husband and we had a great life together," she said. "Life has just been horrible since."

FOCUS ON … DENTAL WEEK

New clinic is all smiles Casey Smiles is a brand-new clinic in the hub of Cranbourne.

The clinic has all the latest technology and fully trained staff who are devoted to delivering the best dentistry to the residents of Cranbourne and surrounding suburbs.

Dr Mohamed Massaud graduated as a dentist from Griffith University on the Gold Coast in 2009. Dr Mohamed studied a Bachelor of Biomedical Science in Melbourne, before he moved to sunny Queensland to study for a Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Sciences fol-

lowed by a Graduate Diploma in Dentistry.

Dr Mohamed saw the need for quality dentistry in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. He feels that the focus of the majority of the dental clinics has been in or around the city and very little emphasis has been given to the outer suburbs “It has been a concern to see the number of people who are missing all their teeth and struggling to eat or smile and be with family and friends comfortably without being selfconscious which in returns decreases their

quality of life” Dr Mohamed said.

“The cost to get a full mouth rehab in Australia is very expensive. Luckily there is a treatment known as All On 4, which basically uses 4 dental implant to fix a full arch bridge and allows patients to enjoy a full life with restored mouth to be able to enjoy food and confidence," he added.

Traditionally full mouth rehabilitations required multiple surgeries that included bone grafts and more implants being placed, which required a lot of money, time and emo-

tional stress.

“The All On 4 concept is quick, easy and allows patients to get all their teeth on the same day," Dr Mohamed explained.

"For nervous patients this treatment can be done while they’re asleep. This applied to all other dental treatments if they choose to do so, which are done in house."

Casey Smiles is at 2/14 Stawell Street, Cranbourne. To make an appointment phone 5996 6273.

Trust the denture experts Getting your teeth fixed doesn’t always have to be a dreaded task. Especially if it’s new dentures you’re after.

The Cranbourne Denture Clinic is a family-run business led by father and son duo, Graeme and Jeremy Robertson. The duo has been building their denture practices around Melbourne for the past 50 years.

Jeremy said the skillset within the clinic’s team, as well as their modern take on denture construction always leaves patients confident and happy with their new smile.

“When visitors come to our clinic they receive the highest quality dentures,” he said.

“But they also receive the warm, professional and fun customer service that makes them smile, even before having their dentures.”

No matter what type of dentures required, all are made on-site in the laboratory by Jeremy or Graeme. They also do same day repairs and relines, clean and polish, a quick adjustment and even mouthguards.

With this week bring Dental Health Week,

Jeremy said it’s a great time for people to check up on their oral health.

“People don’t realise, until it’s too late, how important having good teeth is for your wellbeing, both mentally and physically,” he said.

“Missing teeth can cause your facial muscles to sag which will make your face look older than it is, so that little extra mouth support may take 10 or more years off your face.”

The clinic recommends that anyone who is after a new set of chompers - that look and feel like real teeth - should always visit a qualified Dental Prosthetist.

Although some places may offer cheaper options, the clinic warned that many of those places have dentures made off-site where they are not made to the quality or care that customers deserve.

For more information on the clinic call 5996 4143. Even if you’re confused about what to do, the Cranbourne Denture Clinic offers free consultations.

Graeme Robertson, Jeremy Robertson and Dannii-Elle Goff lead the team at the Cranbourne Denture Clinic.

BUSINESS PROFILE

NEWS

Balance is key says Ian Ian Ash knows the toll running a business can take on owners and CEOs. The local business consultant nearly lost his life when he suffered a bout of deep vein thrombosis while flying around the world as an executive for Boeing.

Ian now devotes his professional life to helping business high flyers reclaim their life/ work balance.

This week the News publishes Ian’s first column for Grow Casey Cardinia.

In his monthly column, Taking Care of Business, Ian will offer practical tips for anyone running a business in the region.

Ian has great respect for CEOs and business owners whom he describes as “typically the hardest working people you will meet“.

“I don’t know a single CEO who doesn’t care deeply about their staff,“ Ian said.

“And the most common problem I find is lack of time for the CEO, which is insidious because it leads to other problems, like not building relationships and nothaving the time to be able to think strategically about the business, but if the CEO isn’t going to think strategically then who is?

“I love seeing CEOs and business leaders get their lives back so the business works for them not the other way round.“

Bedroom style advice New columnist for the News, Ian Ash When he’s not working Ian likes playing the guitar, watching movies, listening to music, taking the family dog for a walk or entertaining small groups of friends.

He is also a Rotarian and is the immediate past president of the Rotary Club of Emerald and District.

To read Ian’s first column turn to page 20.

"I love helping people find something they love,“ says Avelyn Miranda of her job as the bedding proprietor at Harvey Norman Fountain Gate.

Avelyn and her team don’t just sell beds and bedding accessories and furniture, they also offer style advice to help customers turn their bedrooms into stylish, cosy sanctuaries.

“I love helping people find something they love, then how to show it at its best. It’s always been part of me. I keep right on top of trends - Pintrest and Instagram are two sites I visit regularly - and my business lets me showcase that creative side,“ Avelyn explained.

A visit to Avelyn’s store where bedroom furniture and accessories, beautifully displayed in curated pods, shows how you can make

your own bedroom look how you want.

And if you’re there for a new mattress, Avelyn will soon have you lying on one.

“We make sure all our customers actually get on a mattress and get comfortable, before they buy. We get them to test out the firmness and whether it’s big enough. And we make sure they have as much time as they need because it’s an important decision -health, budget and appearance wise.“ As a committed supporter of Australianmade, the store stocks some of the nation’s most reputable bedroom furniture manufacturers, as well as the top labels in linen.

Pop in to the Harvey Norman Fountain Gate superstore and say hello to Avelyn and her team.

Working to provide a personalised and relaxed service, the team at ABC Accountants ensures that all clients are treated equally with respect.

“We relate to our clients by their names, not by a file number,” Mr Albanesi said.

Be wary of false tax agents warns the ATO at tax time serious threat not only to the people that use them, but to the broader community and the tax system as a whole.

“Unfortunately, we see too many instances where people have unwittingly used an unregistered preparer, which has resulted in a significant tax debt and loss of money. We also see instances where people do not receive their refund, or where fraudulent claims are lodged in their name without their knowledge.”

Unregistered preparers often use a taxpayer's personal login details to access their ATO Online account through myGov to lodge tax returns. A legitimate tax practitioner will never ask for your myGov credentials – they use dedicated ATO online services to lodge

returns for their clients.

The ATO is working closely with the TPB, as well as law enforcement agencies throughout Australia, to identify and put a stop to unregistered preparers.

“To protect yourself and keep your personal information safe, it is important to check with the TPB to see if an agent is registered. You can easily check an agent’s registration online at TPB.gov.auExternal Link.

Remember, only registered tax agents can charge a fee to prepare and lodge your tax return” Ms Foat said.

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region

Commit goals to paper TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS IAN ASH Wouldn’t it be great if 2019-20 were your best year yet?

As we have just embarked on a new financial year, now is a great time to plan what you want to achieve which means starting with the end in mind and defining your specific business goals. Many business owners may claim to have these already defined but few actually have these formally written down anywhere, so why bother anyway?

Well, here are 3 good reasons for taking the time to do this properly:

Darren Roberts, right, with Jay Pinkster from Wallara TV (left), Ben and Bella. 194046

Communication is key with Auslan

By Narelle Coulter The Casey Cardinia Region is home to the only deaf owned and operated Auslan training organisation in Australia.

The Auslan Company is the passion and the pride of Pakenham’s Darren Roberts.

Darren started his business in 2004 with two teachers, Jennie and Walter, who are still with him today. The business now has 20 teachers on its books who provide a range of Auslan language training to business, schools, childcare centres, sporting clubs and in other community settings.

“Teaching Auslan is our passion and we teach Auslan anywhere in Australia,“ Darren explained.

A former horse trainer and disability worker, Darren was born hearing but a bout of meningitis when he was four robbed him of his hearing.

He wore a hearing aid until he was in his 30s when his tinnitus started to be amplified by the aids. That's when he "truly became a deaf person who cannot hear anything but can talk normally".

Darren's motivation for starting his business was simple.

“I wanted to work for myself so I could be home with my children in the school holidays and the summer holidays and I don’t like being told what to do. I’m a bad employee!“ Darren said.

“I love being creative, visionary and innovative - to do things with Auslan that others do not do."

The Auslan Company offers courses for Auslan beginners and intermediate students and short introductory courses or longer weekly courses in workplaces.

It offers deaf cultural awareness for workplaces and teaches Auslan in childcare centres to both staff and children.

Darren's team has also expanded their work into schools, which can now choose Auslan as a LOTE subject.

“We also teach weekly courses to staff in disability schools, in disability centres and for

DHHS in group homes,“ Darren explained.

Teachers also work with families who have a deaf child through the NDIS. To extend the reach of Auslan in the general population, the company has also created an Auslan USB learning resources for anyone in Australia to learn Auslan at home.

Darren’s customers include the Federal Government through the NDIS, local councils, universities, childcare centres, kindergartens, the Red Cross, the Apple store at Southland Shopping Centre and the St Kilda and Melbourne football clubs.

“We go into workplaces such as a luggage shop or a café and teach basic meet and greet and money signs so staff can communicate with deaf customers and get repeat business deaf people will spread the word," he said.

“Auslan overcomes many language barriers and helps people unable to verbally communicate have a sign language to use instead."

Darren’s passion for his business and its social dividend is palpable.

“I just love teaching the language and sharing my language with people who are really interested in learning. I find it amazing that so many people want to learn. It’s awesome!

“And I am inspired because many deaf people have family who do not sign to them so providing people with an opportunity to learn Auslan and to communicate with their deaf family members, friends, workmates and deaf customers is a brilliant thing. It is so inclusive and makes us belong.

“At present, each year we teach around 1000 people in our various Auslan courses but in primary schools and childcare centres through our Auslan LOTE programs we are teaching around 4000 children each week. That is amazing! And this will get bigger as more and more schools add Auslan as their preferred LOTE subject.“ The Auslan Company relies on word of mouth referral for its growth which can be a challenge.

“We are David to the Goliath of State Governments funded deaf societies who also provide Auslan community and workplace cours-

es and get funded millions to do so and as such have a huge marketing account,“ Darren said.

Another challenge is working from home, balancing family and business time, which often necessitates evening work.

Asked where he hopes to take the company in the next 10 years, Darren’s vision is boundless and includes a series of YouTube stories where he interviews famous deaf people and a TV sports program on Wallara TV where all the presenters are deaf.

There are also plans for a pilot show for the ABC where The Auslan Company teachers teach Auslan beginners for people Australia wide to learn at home.

The company is already moving into the performing arts space and recently worked with actors who needed to be able to sign in a play.

In South Australia the company has been asked to translate 6 songs into Auslan for a primary school performance of a ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ plus create an Auslan signed version of the play to be shown simultaneously for deaf family and friends attending on the night.

Darren would also like to create a poetry and short story writing workshop group called ‘Deaf Poets Society’ and he has a book in the pipeline called My Daddy is Deaf.

“With my daughter Samantha, a Wurundjeri woman, I want to create an aboriginal inspired and deaf related series of workshops that connects the two worlds."

It's no understatement when he says "It’s a very exciting time“!

Darren is grateful that his disability has allowed him to not only build a successful business, but also touch people's lives in a positive way.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to make a small difference to someone somewhere out there and knowing that we are helping change people’s lives makes the work so enjoyable.“ More information can be found at www. learnauslan.com.au/victoria or email Darren at theauslancompany@gmail.com

CLARITY Something almost magical happens when you commit what is in your head to paper or a Word document. It is almost as if your words take on a presence of their own daring you to defend the targets you have just set yourself and think harder about whether this is really what you want. It is not at all uncommon for the original objective(s) to be honed, refined or even completely rewritten as the implications of your own ambitions become more clear. When goals remain in your head, they can be easily changed and it’s very hard to hit a moving target.

As a former business award judge, I had the opportunity to review submissions that included a question on a company’s business goals. These often included some lofty ambitions such as “grow the business by 50%”, but did this imply increasing annual turnover, net profit, number of customers or number of staff? This is where the application of the SMART principle (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-specific) provides tremendous benefit in crystallising what is required and how achievement can be measured.

FOCUS In recent discussions with business owners, I actually had two tell me that setting a specific goal was “irrelevant” since they would “get what they would get” and because you cannot predict some targets (e.g. sales). However, this is simply not true. You may well have seen the Jim Carey interview on Oprah in 1997 who described how as a struggling young actor, he wrote himself a cheque in November 1992 for $10 million for “acting services rendered” dated 3 years into the future and saw this become a reality when he got his first movie role in Dumb and Dumber just before November 1995. The clearer we are about our ultimate objective(s), the more our actions line up accordingly to maximise the likelihood of success.

ALIGNMENT Whilst it may be obvious to us what needs to be achieved, it is dangerous to assume that everyone else has this same level of understanding. Writing goals down and sharing them with your staff early on provides the opportunity for them to be further refined and improved and greatly enhances wider buy-in to their achievement.

Here’s to your success in 2019-2020 through well-defined business goals.

Casey City residents are being encouraged to throw their support behind this year's Daffodil Day Appeal to help fund vital cancer research.

The Daffodil Day Appeal will take place throughout August, culminating in Daffodil Day on Friday 23 August.

With an average of 1175 people diagnosed with cancer in Casey City each year, the funds raised through the Daffodil Day Appeal will invest in research to improve treatments and early detection.

Cancer Council Victoria hopes to recruit more than 1,600 volunteers to sell bunches of daffodils and pins at around 250 stalls across Victoria.

Local community involvement will be vital in helping Cancer Council Victoria reach its' goal of raising more than $800,000 to give more than hope to those affected by cancer.

"Together, we're working towards a cancer free future and funds raised through events like Daffodil Day are helping us get there sooner," acting head of fundraising at Cancer Council Victoria, Lisa Kastaniotis said.

It came as police were led on a two-hour wild pursuit which began about 12.30pm after a four-wheel-drive was allegedly stolen from Cranbourne.

The vehicle was later set alight, police say, before the speedsters fled in a station wagon and later hijacked a ute in Hampton Park.

The ute crashed where police say the driver was seen getting out carrying a rifle, which was used to carjack a Ford ute in Carrum Downs.

South east hoops set to soar in WNBL

By Nick Creely A new-look WNBL team is set to take over from the Dandenong Rangers for the upcoming season, with the 'Southside Flyers' announced last Wednesday 31 July as the new franchise set to join the expanding competition.

The Rangers franchise - which has been synonymous with the south-east region since its inception in 1992 - will be no more, with new owner and long-time supporter of women's sport in Australia, Gerry Ryan electing to take the team in a new direction.

The new Southside name will aim to reflect on the commitment made by Ryan to create a team with the support of the south east suburbs and into Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula.

"The Southside Flyers is a fresh start for the team with fresh faces, fresh plans and a completely new look for basketball and women's sport. The Australian women's basketball team is ranked number three in the world and we want to build a culture and profile for this team and the sport that reflects this world standing," Ryan said.

"Being a competitive team that is sustainable at the elite level is just a start. The Southside Flyers will be about creating mentors and role models, a team that is involved with the

The logo of the newly-renamed Southside Flyers WNBL franchise. wider community, a team that inspires females to be involved in sport."

The Rangers - being one of the most successful domestic women's basketball teams in Australia - will embark on this new era, while still respecting the history of the former WNBL side, with the team still set to play its home games at Dandenong Stadium.

"Our vision is to significantly broaden the support for the new team and to get the whole basketball community involved. The name Southside Flyers reflects this vision," Ryan said.

The inaugural head coach of the Southside Flyers will be Cheryl Chambers, one of the most

successful and respected coaches in Australian basketball. Cheryl is a 3-time WNBL Coach of the Year and an assistant coach of Australia's National Team, the Australian Opals.

"This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new basketball team, to develop a successful squad from the ground up and to work with Gerry Ryan. This will be more than a successful basketball team, this will be about the community and women's sport," Chambers said.

The Flyers have also announced that Australian and WNBL star Jenna O'Hea has already committed to the team, with the dual WNBL championship player a huge signing ahead of the season.

The Cavaliers fall just short

By Tyler Lewis The Casey Cavaliers' Championship Men's side went down to the McKinnon Cougars 104112 in its Big V basketball first semi-final on Saturday night.

The Cavs had an even spread of contributors across the court with Brandon Polk and Mitch Chapman both putting up 22 points at an efficient clip from the floor.

But it was the destructive Cougars duo of Dillon Stith (37 points) and Eric Williams (28 points) who combined for over half of McKinnon’s tally and ultimately won them the game in a truly dominant performance.

The Cavs will take on the Cougars in a door-die clash this Saturday, and then play again the following day for the deciding match if the Cavs are able to win.

Elsewhere, the Youth League Women’s side peeled off a seven-point victory over Warrandyte when it won 62-69 on Saturday night.

Tess Young was impressive for the Cavs with 12 points while she also had three other team mates who registered double-figure points in an evenly spread performance across the court.

Among the four who scored double-figure points was Lauren Tuplin (15 points), who remains one of the more consistent scorers in the competition this season.

It was a remarkable victory for the Cavs, and they now have the opportunity to secure the 2-0 result when they host the Venom at Casey Stadium this Saturday.

Demons no match for rampant Tigers at Punt Road

By Tyler Lewis In modern day elite-level football, the victorious side has to play the full four quarters - especially against the best side in the competition.

For Casey, one half of football was never going to be enough to knock off the ladderleading Richmond at its Punt Road fortress on Saturday.

With the senior match between the two affiliated AFL sides following the VFL match, a mammoth crowd turned out to the Swinburne Centre to see the first and second-seeded sides from the 2018 home-and-away season do battle.

The game threatened to be a contested slog in the opening stages, playing into the hands of Jimmy Munro and the tackling juggernaut the Demons have proved themselves to be.

But when Richmond get the ball on the outside and the likes of Patrick Naish and Marlion Pickett start kicking the football in open space, the Tigers are nearly unstoppable.

Unfortunately for Casey, that is exactly what the Tigers did, ultimately getting the jump on the Demons and going into the first interval with a healthy 26-point buffer.

Casey lifted after the first break, when Jimmy Munro ran hard to kick a snapping goal.

And Mitch White converted his set shot, and the Demons was slowly but surely pegging themselves back into the game.

Casey edged closer again in the third term with Jay Lockhart swerving his set shot through to make it a three-kick game at the final break.

But the clinical Richmond side awoke at the threat of a contest in the final term to put the Demons away. Ben Miller kicked the first of the last inside a minute before Toby Bedford replied not long after.

With time looming a factor, the Tigers had a five-minute burst of brilliance - kicking three majors, winning 12.6 (78) to 6.7 (43), and ensuring they are in the box seat for the second straight year.

Despite the finals door still being left ajar for Casey after losing to Richmond, Demons coach Sam Radford is prioritising each week and the development of his young group.

“We knew how they (the Tigers) were going to play - we just weren’t good enough to stop it for four-quarters,” he said.

“We weren’t able to slow them down and cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Casey couldn't match the intensity of Richmond for four quarters 192828 the way they wanted to move the ball - we weren’t able to keep the ball in our half as much I would’ve liked, which is an errant we need to improve on.

“I think the focus needs to be on us playing our brand of footy for four quarters.

“Because if we don’t do that it doesn’t matter how the ladder goes.

“We have a young team and it is about us developing and improving every week. We have Collingwood this week - they are in good form after an unbelievable win against the

Picture: ROB CAREW Blues, so that will be a challenge.

“If we are worried too much about the next few weeks, and finals, we won’t beat Collingwood.

“So we have to focus ourselves on beating Collingwood and that is what we are doing.”

Berwick lands junior NPL license in a huge boost

By Tyler Lewis The Berwick City Soccer Club is flying, both on and off the field.

The club not only has new and improved state-of-the-art facilities at Jack Thomas Reserve, it is also one of 12 clubs to have been granted a license into a brighter future in the expansion of the Junior Boys National Premier League (JBNPL).

The JBNPL expanded by 12 new clubs on Monday, 5 August to now make the state competition include 47 clubs - with a position still open for 2021 entries to potentially bring it up to 48 clubs.

After a long wait, the board decided to grant the access to Berwick City, which can now field under-13, 14 and 15 sides in the new competition commencing in 2020. It's a major coup for the club and an indication of the growth of the sport in the south-east region.

With the addition of three new sides in the competition, the board intends on adding more sides and clubs over the next few years, which means the grant for Berwick couldn’t have come at a better time.

tory against Cerberus, 15.29 (119) to 2.6 (18).

Although not requiring the percentage boost, the Hills had the opportunity to demolish Cerberus even further but were extremely inaccurate in front of goal - kicking 4.13 (37) in the opening term to just two behinds.

DIVISION 4 Hallam punished Lyndale in a stupendous 27.14 (176) to 3.1 (19) victory.

Hallam, which sits percentage ahead of Moorabbin, piled on nine goals to none in the premiership term and didn’t stop there with another seven in the final quarter.

Max Little was among the best for the Pumas in the monumental loss.

Lyndhurst, meanwhile, put Moorabbin to the sword in its 20.9 (129) to 3.6 (24) win.

Carrum-Patterson Lakes had a field day against Dandenong, running riot with a 17.23 (125) to 5.4 (34) win.

MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN DIVISION 2 - ROUND 17 Devon Meadows went down to the ladderleading Red Hill on the weekend, 2.5 (17) to 9.15 (69).

The Panthers held the Hillmen at bay for the opening half but, as good sides do, the Hillmen got off the chain and burst away with another victory.

At the main break, the Panthers were only trailing by eight points, but a goalless second half proved costly as Red Hill piled on six majors in contrast.

Pearcedale, meanwhile, suffered another heavy defeat at the hands of Langwarrin, 23.15 (153) to 2.6 (18).

Huw Jones was named best afield for the Dales while ex-North Melbourne listed player Tim McGenniss - gearing up for a mammoth finals series - was named the best for the Roos with his three majors.

The Dales face the imposing Karingal this week to avoid finishing on the bottom of the ladder, and will have to either cause one of the upsets of the season or lose by less than the last-placed Crib Point, which faces Tyabb.

EASTERN FOOTBLL LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION - ROUND 15 Despite going down 8.9 (57) to 12.11 (83) to South Croydon, it was still a remarkable day for Noble Park.

Nathan Oakes - who was named best-on for the Bulls - was meant to be in the stands for another four weeks with a meniscus injury, but four weeks was enough for the young Bull as he returned as if he hadn’t missed a minute.

Current Frankston Dolphin-listed forward Ali Zijai also kicked two majors in his side’s loss.

SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 16 The Doveton Eagles were unable to secure third spot in their crucial clash against Murrumbeena, going down 14.13 (97) to 9.12 (66).

The Lions’ elite accuracy in the opening term allowed them to run away with the victory. Both sides had seven scoring shots in the first stanza but the Lions were able to convert all their shots to take a 20-point buffer into quarter time.

Simon Clarke continued his good form for the Eagles being named best afield, while stablemate Jye Sigersma (three goals) kicked his 19th major from just six games in 2019.

Keysborough put away Chelsea Heights with ease as they ran away 13.14 (92) to 6.6 (42) victors.

Matt Carnelley proved once again that three is his magic number with yet another triple - making it the eighth time he has done so this season.

DIVISION 3 Despite trailing at every break, Hampton Park demonstrated why it’s the team to beat - edging out third-placed Clayton on Saturday, 12.14 (86) to 11.14 (80).

A six-goal third term put the Redbacks back in it as they surged out to a remarkable fourwin gap from the second-placed Endeavour Hills.

Magpies prevail in the end

By Nick Creely OUTER EAST FOOTBALL PREMIER AND DIVISION 1 REVIEW Narre Warren coach Matt Shinners drilled into his players during the week that the trip to Wandin would be the biggest experience his side would face this season.

The vocal crowd, the unique conditions and the challenge of knocking the Dogs off in their own fortress - it’s something Shinners knew his Magpies would simply relish.

“When you look at what they’ve done over the last three weeks, beating Beaconsfield and then Cranbourne and with the crowd right behind them, it’s a big advantage for them,” he told the News.

“That was a big focus for us (the experience), and not one south east side had gone there and won, so there was that motivation - the crowd is very, very vocal and a lot of the other coaches I’ve spoken to have witnessed that, so we knew the challenge we would be facing.”

And in Saturday’s blockbuster between the two sides, it took a moment of sheer brilliance to separate two sides that refused to let the foot off the throat all day.

The Magpies and Dogs could barely be split at the Kennel on Saturday, with a magic goal from Peter Gentile in the dying seconds sealing the four points for the Magpies, 18.21 (129) to 19.8 (122).

Gentile used all of his class to kicking a goal in mid-air from the goal square over his head with only seconds to play, ending a battle which had so many twists and turns of momentum.

Maximising on their elite pressure through the midfield, and with the likes of Trent Cody, Brad Scalzo, Dylan Quirk and Nathan Foote controlling possession and getting the ball moving, the Magpies looked ominous when the ball went forward in the first term, with Daniel Jackson marking everything and kicking the ball beautifully.

But Dogs skipper Justin Van Unen showcased some brilliance of his own to stem the bleeding nearing quarter time with a lovely checkside goal, before Clinton Johnston slotted a goal after the quarter time siren to draw the margin back to just 23.

The Dogs started the second well, with Rohan Heasley capitalising on some excellent forward pressure, before the Magpies once again steadied to regain control.

Van Unen, however, kicked a pearler from the pocket after the half-time siren to give the Dogs plenty of momentum heading into the final siren, and with confidence they could overrun the Magpies on their home fortress.

And signs were looking worrying for Matt Shinners’ side, with the Dogs going absolutely berserk in the third quarter, kicking 10 goals to three and opening up a three goal lead with some of the most electric footy of the year.

But the Magpies - like quality sides do when severely challenged - clawed its way back, rediscovering some of its spark from the first half.

With no indication of which way the contest was going to go, the little contests - whether it is the stoppages, or the ability to just stick marks and tackles - become vital, and young gun Tom Miller came to the fore for the visitors, showcasing great composure as his side once again took the lead.

It wasn’t until Gentile’s piece of magic that sealed the result, with the siren going shortly after the crafty forward’s freakish match winner, in one of the most entertaining games of local footy in recent memory.

For the Magpies, veteran Michael Collins was absolutely sublime once more, while fellow great Col McNamara and Dan Jackson (six goals) had moments that will be talked about in the lead up to the finals, with McNamara’s drive particularly influential late.

Shinners said that it was disappointing for his side to have allowed the Dogs to control the game in the third, and knew they would be punished if they continued to turn the footy over.

“We started well, but I think we kicked 3.8 in the second term, so we probably didn’t make the most of our chances,” he said.

“But for most of the day we did a lot right, but we lost a bit of ascendency in the middle, cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Former St Kilda star Stephen Milne was up and about early in Emerald's win over Doveton. 196222 missed a few kicks in the corridor, and once you miss those little things, it’s one kick and a goal.

But the Magpies showed plenty of determination to claw its way back, with Shinners heaping praise on his leaders in lifting when it mattered in one of the most impressive wins of the season from any side.

“I spoke to Col McNamara after the game, and he reckons it’s one of the best wins he’s been associated with,” he said.

“I said to Collo (Michael Collins), Col and (Brad) Scalzo before the game that they are our most experienced, and you’ll have to keep the young blokes up and about all day, and they did, and in the last quarter, they showed some terrific leadership.”

Beaconsfield, meanwhile, found a bit of spark at home after a disappointing fortnight of football against Upwey Tecoma, 17.22 (124) to 3.5 (23).

The Eagles were never really headed after skipping out to a 28-point lead at quartertime, and continued to build back into form and take the game on across the wide expanses of Holm Park.

Matthew Johnson’s stunning patch of form continued for the Eagles with a brilliant nine-goal haul, taking his tally to 34 after being dropped back to the reserves early in the season, indicating just how far he has come in such a short space of time.

In the remaining matches across the round, Cranbourne did what it needed to for its finals chances at home against Healesville, 17.17 (120) to 4.8 (32) to surge back into fifth, while Berwick’s impassable form continued with a vital win on the road against Woori Yallock, 15.13 (103) to 5.9 (39).

Narre Warren coach Matt Shinners knew the challenge of playing Wandin on its home deck would be the biggest his side would face this season. 185007 Pictures: ROB CAREW phen Milne, meanwhile was enough for Emerald to upset Doveton at home in front of a monster crowd in Division 1, 12.11 (83) to 10.11 (71).

Milne - who slotted 574 goals for the Saints to be one of the most prominent small forwards in AFL history - kicked an early goal, and with the momentum of this, and the vocal home crowd, the Bombers always looked likely to cause an upset.

While Milne was relatively well held after his early injection of class on the contest, the Bombers just looked ominous every time it entered the forward half, with Jake Pedder’s strong season continuing with another excellent performance. The Doves came back hard particularly in the final half - but couldn’t quite

find enough momentum to force its way over the line.

And in the remaining match in what was a split round, The Rovers stormed home from a six-goal deficit at home against Officer to win comfortably at home, 14.12 (96) to 12.13 (85).

The Kangaroos were dealt several key injury blows - including gun defender Stephen Heppel to a calf - but started absolutely superbly to take in a 17-point quarter time lead, and that ballooned out to 32 at half-time after a four goal to two second quarter.

But the Rovers slowly got their game up and running, taking control of the contest to narrowly win the third term, before a devastating final term proved too hot to handle for Doug Koop’s side.
