College’s million reasons to smile

By Taylah Eastwell A new multi-purpose building is set to benefit students of Heritage College in Officer thanks to $1,200,000 in funding from the Federal Government.

To commemorate the announcement Member for La Trobe Jason Wood attended the school on Tuesday.

Mr Wood said the whole school community would benefit from the new facilities, which will be used for events such as assemblies, chapel services and awards nights. It will also host basketball clinics for the Heritage College basketball team.

"These new learning spaces take into account the latest in educational research and will see students learn more effectively," Mr Wood said.

Help keep hall

By Mitchell Clarke The 100-year-old Officer Public Hall will permanently close if a new committee isn't inducted within a week.

As the hall sits on Crown land, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) requires a functioning management committee to keep the hall open.

In a statement, DELWP said the current committee of management has become "unable to function and maintain the hall" and without a functioning committee, they will be forced to close the hall.

Chairman of Officer District Community Association Rob Porter said it would be a terrible shame for the community if the hall was to cease operation.

"I think the whole community is worried

about the hall disappearing because it's the oldest public building in the district," Mr Porter said.

"It pays its own way. We have some very nice regular people who use the hall, often on a weekly basis."

The hall is often used by dance classes, theatre groups, religious groups and even for weddings and parties on occasions.

"There's still a big demand for it and it's quite reasonably priced to use it," Mr Porter explained.

"The Officer District Community Association used to hold our meetings there but it got to the point where it was always booked out, it's still vital."

Star News understands the hall was maintained by the Van Steensel family, who up until

recently also looked after all the bookings and secretarial work.

"Their contribution towards the hall has been magnificent and we couldn't have run it without them," he said.

Cardinia Shire councillor Brett Owen is calling on the Officer community, particularly newer residents to put their hand up to join the committee.

"As there are retiring members and a need to form a full and energetic committee, I call upon members of the Officer community to consider putting up their hand, to serve their community so the public hall will continue to be a great place to hold events and provide a great meeting location at a very affordable cost," Cr Owen said.

"The Officer Public Hall has a long and proud history and one we need to continue to

support and ensure community access now and into the future."

DELWP Regional Manager land and built environment programs Dick Ford said the committee's term has come to an end and DELWP is seeking new members.

"There is not capacity within the outgoing committee to undertake necessary day-to-day management of the hall, including bookings," Mr Ford said.

"As such, the hall will not be open for bookings in August and potentially September until a new committee is appointed."

The Officer Community Association will hold a meeting at the Officer Public Hall on Wednesday 21 August at 7.00pm. Anyone interested in joining the committee is encouraged to attend.

Robber sought jail

An apparently bored man has wielded a knife and fork in a "rather pathetic" attempted armed robbery at a Fountain Gate eatery in the hope of going back to prison, a court has heard.

Robert McLeod, of Noble Park, had previously tried to hold up a servo and a bottle shop with a dessert spoon.

On this occasion on 25 Februrary, after a breakfast meal, he wielded cutlery and yelled "give me all your money" and "I'm robbing you" at several staff at the front counter of the Pancake Parlour.

In front of alarmed diners, he hurled the knife and fork as well as a bowl of lollies at the manager. The utensils struck the manager's stomach, causing no injury.

McLeod, who was 47 at the time, was captured by security staff in a centre car park. He

told police that he wanted to go back to Port Phillip Prison.

He had previously been jailed and convicted for his dessert spoon hold-ups in Noble Park in September 2017.

He was serving a community corrections order with a supervised justice plan at the time of the Pancake Parlour hold-up as a result.

In sentencing on 9 August, Judge Gabriele Cannon of the Victorian County Court said McLeod's "rather pathetic" actions would have been "most frightening" to those who witnessed it.

"This is no laughing matter and it's time for you to behave yourself once and for all ...

"To accept that you can't always get what you want - and you should not frighten other people in trying to do so."

Judge Cannon said McLeod may be already institutionalised, enjoying the attention and structure of prison. He'd offended in the past

to go back to jail, she noted.

"I'm very worried about your prospects of rehabilitation and the protection of the community."

McLeod's mild intellectual disability lowered his moral culpability. It was also perhaps why he showed no remorse or insight into his offending, Judge Cannon said.

There seemed to be not enough resources and supports in the community to occupy, supervise and provide good company for the unemployed man.

"Your case is a difficult case and a sad one.

"I express the hope that your release will be supported in the community in a strong, structured way."

McLeod was convicted and jailed for up to two years, with a 12-month minimum non-parole period. It included 165 days spent in presentence remand.

A teenager who had never driven a car before and who mowed down a crowd of people while "drunk as f..." resulting in a man's leg having to be amputated has been jailed.

Dieu Atem of Cranbourne North pleaded guilty to five charges in the Victorian County Court sitting in Melbourne on 6 August including reckless conduct endangering life and driving without a licence.

Atem, 19, had been drinking heavily at his Endeavour Drive home while celebrating his brother's birthday with a friend in September last year.

The group then left in a Nissan Pulsar after deciding to go to Collingwood's Gasometer Hotel.

Judge Elizabeth Brimer said in sentencing remarks a fight broke out at the hotel about during the early hours of the morning where Atem threw a chair, hitting a patron in the head.

Outside the hotel, Atem had been in a fight with a man before being assaulted by a number of others while on the ground, the court heard.

He got behind the wheel of the Pulsar and drove on the wrong side of Mater Street, narrowly missing pedestrians before speeding towards a crowd young people.

The court heard Atem crashed into a parked car, pushing it into another parked car and pinning an 18-year-old man between the vehicles - instantly "shattering" his right leg which had to be amputated.

Judge Brimer said a friend saw "bone poking out" of the man's leg and with the help of police used his belt and shirt to stop the bleeding.

Another man waiting for a taxi was knocked to the ground, requiring stitches to his leg.

Atem left the scene and caught a taxi where he paid a $126 fare to travel to Cranbourne railway station.

That night, police arrested Atem who admitted being at the hotel but "couldn't remember a lot of the night due to being hit in the head." He was released pending enquiries.

Nearly two weeks later police executed a search warrant at Atem's home, seizing the clothes he wore on the night of the incident.

Atem admitted he had never had a driving lesson nor driven a car before the incident, the court heard.

In sentencing, Judge Brimer said Atem drove in "a manner such that you could easily have killed a number of people."

She described the injuries suffered by the 18-year-old as "horrendous".

"While the other injuries suffered by other victims, fortunately, were less serious, nevertheless, they were injuries caused to people

out at night with friends and going about their business," Judge Brimer said.

Judge Brimer also said mobile phone footage "shows clearly the fear, panic and distress caused by you to those present."

Atem came to Australia as a refugee in 2006 at the age of seven from South Sudan with two siblings.

He is a permanent resident and has moved many times between Dandenong, Noble Park and Pakenham with family. After his grandmother died three years ago Atem had a "brief period of homelessness" and began drinking.

The court heard Atem had been on a Youth Supervision Order in 2017 following charges of theft of motor vehicle, armed robbery and failure to answer bail.

Atem was jailed for five years.

Business chick wings in

By Narelle Coulter To a room full of business women, the most awe-inspiring thing about international business woman Emma Isaacs was undoutedly the fact that she is the mother of five children under 10.

“I love that the mention of my five kids gets more reaction than anything,“ Emma said with laugh at the start of her address to the fifth annual Casey Cardinia Women’s Business Lunch on Friday 9 August.

“Yes, I have five lovely little humans waiting for me in LA. It’s a completely crazy life. My youngest turns two next week. We are having a party but nothing is organised but I will get onto that as soon as I get home.“ Emma is the founder and Global CEO of Business Chicks, Australia’s largest event and networking community for women.

She leads a team of 40 “amazing women“ spread across three continents and four time zones, which she said “makes for not a lot of sleep at times“.

Hundreds of women from across Casey and Cardinia attended the lunch keen to hear Emma share her story of success and the lessons she has learned along the way.

Emma described herself as “someone who has tried to do things without knowing how they are going to turn out and definitely before I am ready to attempt them“.

“I’ve moved countries to start a new business with my family in tow, I signed a book contract and gave myself three months to write it. I really believe in doing what feels right and not always what we think is right. I am passionate about encouraging women to take on that mindset and very much leap before they are ready and give things a go.“ Emma gets asked a lot if entrepreneurs are born or made?

“In my instance I came out an entrepreneur,“ she said.

The eldest of three children, she was grew up in the suburbs of Sydney.

She jokes that as a seven year old she founded her first business, a lolly enterprise into which she co-opted the neighbourhood kids.

“I’d stand up on a milk crate and say ’go and borrow money from your parents’. All the kids would come back with $2 notes, remember those? We would go to the milk bar and buy a whole help of chocolates and lollies. We’d divide them into smaller bundles and then sell them back to the parents.

“It was actually a brilliant first business and I am very proud of it,“ she said, to laughter from the audience.

Emma dropped out of university after six months, a fact which still troubles her mother, and got her first job at a small recruitment company. By the time she was 18 she had bought into the business.

Seven years later, a friend invited her to a Business Chicks function.

Initially Emma resisted telling her friend that Business Chicks was one of the most insulting things she had ever heard.

“I went along and it took me 5.5 seconds to fall in love with the entire concept.

“At the next event the marketing manager got on stage and said “We are going to stop running this networking group we can’t make it work, anyone in room who wants to help come and talk to me at the end.

“My general manager at the recruitment business, who is now the CEO of Business Chicks, lent into me and said ’you are going to buy it aren’t you Em?’ I said ’yeah, I am’.

“Anyone else sitting next to me that day would have said don’t do this, you have a profitable business with a great culture, a great team which is making money, you don’t need

Global CEO of Business Chicks Emma Isaacs. another project on the side. That would have been the sensible option.“ Bored with her work in recuritument and itching to do something different, Emma had found her new passion.

“I had no experience running an event, except maybe my sister’s 18th birthday, and no experience running a membership organisation but if you have a dream or a goal it’s about somehow finding the confidence to take that first step.“ Over the past 14 years Emma and her team have grown Business Chicks from 250 members to a network that now reaches half a million women each year. The organisation produces more than 100 events annually and has a 250K social media following.

Innovations have included a magazine, an annual conference and an entrepreneurial program. Guest speakers have included Jamie Oliver, Richard Branson and Arianna Huffington.

“We have grown the business by listening to our customers and responding to them. It is a very beautiful, special business that we are very very proud of.“ In 2016 Emma and her husband moved their family to Los Angeles so Emma could expand Business Chicks into the US. Emma used her address to pass on some of the lessons from her “working life in the trenches of business“.

“We all need to have a mindset of creating opportunities for ourselves. Jamie Oliver was never going to write to us and say ’hey, can I speak at Business Chicks?’, Richard Branson was never going to say come to Necker Island and bring 30 members.“ She urged women to surround themselves with the right people and write their own rules for their life and career.

“We are so busy comparing ourselves to others we lose sight of what we really truly want. Sit back and think ’Am I on the right path? What more is out there for me? Each and every one of us gets to write the rules.“

She urged women to never, ever give up and to step up and show leadership.

“Leadership lives and breathes in every single one of us. You might not be the most senior person in your organisation or think you have

enough experience but you can be a leader.

“We need to see strong female leaders out there mentoring others, coaching others and supporting each other. What the world needs now is people to come forward and lead.”

Weather wreaks havoc

By Brendan Rees Narre Warren State Emergency Service has kept busy after wild weather lashed the region on Friday 9 August.Volunteers attended 17 jobs in the Casey area, mostly for fallen trees and damaged roofs, the unit's spokesman Damian Burns said.

Winds speeds reached up to 90km/h at 9am, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

Mr Burns said the blizzard like conditions blew a trampoline flew onto a road in the vicinity of Cranbourne -Berwick Road and Linsell Boulevard in Clyde North.

No one was injured but Mr Burns said it was disappointing the owner had not secured the trampoline.

"They're shaped in such a way to actually take off and then when they land because they're round they roll ... they do quite a bit of damage," he said.

A car also veered off Baxter Tooradin Road in Pearcedale into a drain full of water about 2pm. Pearcedale CFA volunteers attended and it's understood no person was trapped in the incident.

Mr Burn said widespread heavy rain caused leaks to residential roofs and damage to tiles.

"Most of the calls have been down the southern part of City of Casey ... because the strong wind is a strong westerly wind coming off Port Phillip Bay," he said.

"Frankston and some of the Mornington areas have been badly affected," he added.

Blustery winds caused the Frankston pier to snap off in the waves about 9.30am.Mr Burns said strong winds also brought trees down on Menzies Close, Narre Warren South and Stone Hill Circuit in Cranbourne East.

A garage door was also damaged in Cranbourne North, he said.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster said about 15-20mm of rain fell over the region.

A garage roof was blown off in Tooradin.

Pounding rain and strong winds played havoc over the weekend in Casey.Mr Burn said they responded to a job whereby a 25 metre fence had blown over at a Cranbourne North property on Sunday 11 August which now needs replacing.

Gale-force winds blew a garage roof off in Tooradin which landed about 100 metres away in a neighbouring tree while part of a timber fence in Hampton Park fell onto a footpath in Joshua Drive.

"For public safety and also security we were able to do something with that," Mr Burn said of the fallen fence.

Volunteers were called to help a resident in Narre Warren on Friday afternoon on 9 August after part of their ceiling collapsed due to a leak.

Mr Burn said the build up of water had caused the ceiling to become "thin bit of paper" allowing water to "just fall in."

Hearts to help

Granada Room, Level 1 St John of God Berwick Hospital 75 Kangan Drive, Berwick VIC 3806

By Rowan Forster A lifesaving Pakenham-based venture, spear-

health care system for the entire community.

According to government figures, 45 per cent of metropolitan emergency department

A lifesaving Pakenham-based venture, spearheaded by a paramedic and a teacher, has received a federal cash injection to provide free first aid training throughout Melbourne's south-east.

Tiny Hearts - founded by sisters Rachael Waia and Nikki Jurcutz - will arm 1800 local parents and carers with the skillsets required to save their children in the event of an emergency.

In a regional first, 300 parents are also set to be trained bilingually, catering for Chinese and Afghan communities.

Their journey began in a garage, but Tiny Hearts now has a headquarters in Pakenham's Industrial Park - proving that business success is attainable under the most challenging circumstances.

Ms Waia, a former educator and volunteer first responder, was first aid trained when she was just 15 years old.

She is determined to share her vital knowledge with as many parents as possible.

"I've got two kids of my own and I know what it's like when they choke and when they're really sick," she said.

"Because we've got such a good report built with our parents, we get a lot of feedback where they say, hey, you literally saved our babies' lives.

"I love what I do - waking up and making a difference."

Tiny Hearts worked in conjunction with the South East Melbourne Primary Health Network to secure the federal grant.

The organisation also hopes to reduce the number of inappropriate admissions to the emergency department and create a better

health care system for the entire community.

According to government figures, 45 per cent of metropolitan emergency department presentations are non-urgent.

Tiny Hearts has also compiled statistics from participants, illustrating the importance of teaching the critical first aid skills.

After the course, 98 per cent of parents said they felt more confident to act effectively in an emergency.

Almost 50 per cent reported that they had used their acquired infant and child first aid knowledge within six months of undertaking the course.

Narre Warren's Shelby Cooke, who performed CPR on her choking two-year-old daughter while paramedics rushed to their home, stressed the importance of first aid training.

She believes that had she not received the course through her workplace, her daughter may have suffocated.

"I still owe everything to having those skills," she said.

"The more people that are equipped with them, the less tragedies we're going to see with children, babies and toddlers.

"It's such a frightening thing to go through - so you need to be prepared."

The free sessions will be held across the region, including at Beaconhills College, in Pakenham.

Topics covered will include choking, fevers, convulsions, burns, drowning, bleeding, caring for an unconscious person, bites and stings and head injuries.

Parents or caregivers interested in undertaking the free training can sign up by heading to: www.tinyheartsfirstaid.com/fundedcourse.

Twenty-four local businesses are in the running to take out a 2019 Casey Cardinia Business Award (CCBA), with the finalists announced for the region’s flagship awards program.

The CCBA are a partnership between the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire, held each year to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements and contribution of businesses and organisations across the region.

A special function was held on Wednesday 14 August at Bunjil Place to announce the finalists across the 10 award categories, with all finalists also now in the running for the coveted Casey Cardinia Business of the Year award.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon congratulated all businesses that were announced as finalists and wished them luck for the awards, with the winners to be revealed at a Gala Dinner on Friday 18 October at the Cranbourne Racing Centre.

“The Casey Cardinia Business Awards are one of the great examples of how we’re supporting our business community through our regional partnership with Cardinia,” Cr Stapledon said.

“They are a wonderful way to acknowledge the many exceptional businesses operating across the region and are a celebration of the success and innovation of our local businesses.

“It’s great to be able to give recognition to those who are excelling in their fields, but also give businesses the opportunity to come together to learn from the experiences of one another and celebrate each other’s successes.”

Cardinia Shire Mayor Cr Graeme Moore said as always, the judges had a tough task in selecting the finalists.

“This year a total of 91 applications were received from across the region, including many businesses connecting with the program for the first time which is always great to see,” he said.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On Monday 12 August, a story was shared on the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page about a horrific crash in Cranbourne involving an allegedly stolen car that left two dead and a teenager critically injured.

This is how our readers reacted online: Sam Holloway: I am so glad the innocent occupants in the other vehicle were able to walk away. My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their life. Yep they did a terrible thing, but should not have had to pay with their life. Kids can be raised to do

the right thing, however, for whatever reason they can still make poor choices. I can only imagine the pain their parents are going through right now. I hope the other 2 will be ok. A lesson in life that should never have been taught. May they RIP. Craig Sixx Hart: We were lucky. We were about 30 seconds behind the four-wheeldrive. They got hit by the Commodore driving towards Cranbourne thank god my son took his time.

Traffic is directed during the drop-off run.

Fed-up parents of a Clyde North primary school say are allowing more than an hour during pick up and drop off times.

Parents say the school run at Wilandra Rise Primary School had become a "nightmare" after nearby roads been blocked off due to a new estate being developed.

When Star News visited the site, drivers battled in the traffic-choked gridlock along Haflinger Avenue and Aayana Street - with a supervisor also out directing cars.

But Casey Council says it is confident upgrades to connecting roads would start by the end of this year.

Parent Belinda said she had to be at the school "super early" to get a park which was still not guaranteed."There's people beeping each other and parking illegally," she said.

"It's dangerous ... people have to drop their kids off and they're jumping out of cars," Belinda said, who asked not to reveal her surname.

Christy Gonzalez said the biggest problem facing parents was there was no exit with cars doing "U-turns in front of you."

"They just line up to collect their kids done the other end in the two minute drop-off," she said.

"There's no other way to get out ... you can see the dirt pile where they drive up on the speed hump and are up on the grass," she added.

"Council fine them but they don't care ... it's crazy.

"I generally come an hour to an hour-andhalf earlier," Ms Gonzalez said.

Another parent, Waruna Kariyawasam said he got to the school at 2.30pm to avoid the chaos.

When he did find a park, he said he usually worked in his car.

"It's very inconvenient. If I miss the 2.30 window I won't get a park," he said.

Felicty Devine, who is a before and after school care worker, said: "We're finding it's a nightmare for us".

"In the afternoon you find you have to leave an hour early just to be able to get here and get a car spot," she said.

Casey manager city and asset planning Keri New said the site had been blocked off for subdivision by the developer and Brookford Estate, the parcel of land next to the school.

Ms New said upgrades planned for nearby roads would improve traffic flow and the parking situation.

"We understand the developer plans on starting work on these road updates before the end of this year," she said.

"We are unable to influence or speed up the construction timelines as we are not the developer of the site.

"We do empathise with families frustrated with the current situation. Parking restrictions are in place to maintain safety around the school," Ms New said.

Scouts celebrate

By Brendan Rees Narre Warren South Scout Group held its annual presentation evening on Friday 9 August.

Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas accompanied proud scout leaders, committee members, families and friends in Hallam to celebrate the achievements of the scouts over the last twelve months.

"The Narre Warren South Scouts are a formidable force in our local community, providing many young people with the opportunity to have fun, develop friendships and learn teamwork skills," he said.

There was also excitement as the architectural plans for the new scout hall in Narre Warren South were unveiled.

A recent funding announcement of $650,000 from the State Government and further Local Government support will mean that the Scout Group will have a permanent building to operate from for the first time in its history.

"I'm proud that the Narre Warren South Scouts will shortly have their own new building to operate from, allowing their fine work to continue," Mr Maas said.

All members of this fantastic organisation take part in a diverse range of activities that help develop resilience and leadership skills while also contributing to the local community.

In the last 12 months alone, the Narre Warren South Scouts have participated in numerous camping trips, night hikes, Anzac Day dawn services and fundraising events.

No escape from stench

By Brendan Rees Lenti Lenko says he can’t hang out washing or go for a walk with his family without the revolting stench of the Hampton Park tip wafting over.

“It was so bad one night my wife and I were dry retching in the bathroom,” he says.

He is one of dozens of angry residents who have complained to the Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) about the constant stench.

Last week, the EPA issued a works approval for the construction of new storage ponds and a treatment plant to manage the hazardous leachate at the Hallam Road landfill.

The EPA’s executive director Tim Eaton said the three new leachate ponds proposed by the tip’s operator, Suez Recycling and Recovery (Suez), would help reduce the odour.

“The Hallam Road Landfill has a history of problems with odour and this is not a complete solution, but adequate leachate management does enable landfill operators to better deal with landfill gas issues,” he said.

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon, who says she can smell the odour from her Cranbourne North home, recently council held a meeting between Suez and EPA to “further reiterate the community’s and our concerns on this matter and ensure action was being taken to address them.”

The EPA works approval now requires planning approval from Casey Council.

Mr Lenko says he and his wife decided to move to Narre Warren South after the smell at their original home near the tip became unbearable three years ago.

But as of May this year Mr Lenko said he noticed the smell becoming progressively worse despite being more than 5km away.

“It makes you dry retch, it gives you a head-

Lenti Lenko says his family cannot the escape the “hideous” odour of the Hampton Park landfill. 196688 ache, you can’t go for a walk ... it pervades your house,” he said.

“You can’t even have people out on the pergola it stinks ... I was lodging complaints every day.“ Winsome Anderson, whose family run a farm next door, described the odour as “disgusting” which often made her feel lethargic.

“I’ve been up there and I don’t know how

people live,” she said. “This is all a drain on everyone’s health.”

Suez infrastructure manager Andrew Carson said they have been listening to the community’s feedback and started a gas well drilling program and the connection of existing gas wells.

“These wells form a part of the process to convert landfill gas into electricity to deliver

power to the grid,“ he said.

“The gas is extracted under vacuum, minimising escape, therefore these actions will reduce the risk of odour to the community.”

Mr Carson said timelines for drilling works on the active landfill cell had been brought forward, allowing landfill gas to be extracted and processed in generators, “mitigating immediate odour concerns.“

Sideline the sugar

By Dr Nick Cheah, Renew Dental Care

The team celebrates the commencement of Project 28.

A place to call home

By Danielle Kutchel An innovative partnership between property developer Wolfdene and Blairlogie Living and Learning Inc. is aiming to address the shortfall in dwellings for adults with a disability.

Dubbed 'PROJECT 28', the project aims to help close the gap of 28,000 dwellings Australia wide for people with a disability, by constructing 28 units by 2028 - giving them a place of their own to call home.

Starting with the delivery of four independent dwellings in its 'E>ST' development in Cranbourne East, Wolfdene, through its Wolfdene Foundation, is providing seed capital for the acquisition of land, planning, design and construction of the project.

On Tuesday 13 August City of Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon and representatives from

Wolfdene, Blairlogie and their project partners celebrated the official start of the project with a formal sod turning ceremony.

Cr Stapledon is supporting the project through her Mayor's Walk for Disability next month, with all proceeds from the walk being donated to the project.

Wolfdene director Jonathan Atchison said it was a milestone two and a half years in the making.

"It's a very exciting day for the team from Blairlogie who have been advocating for accommodation solutions for people with disabilities for much longer than that - a huge milestone for them."

Construction on the first four properties will commence immediately with the aim of delivering the houses by April 2020.

I am sure that we all know the damage that sugar has on our dental and overall health.

It is estimated that Australians consume on average 14 teaspoons of sugar per day, which is more than twice the World Health Organisation recommended limit of 6 teaspoons a day.

Dental decay is one of the most preventable diseases in Australia today. With increasing levels of obesity and type 2 diabetes we are in a sugar induced health crisis.

We must become more aware and develop strategies to consciously reduce our level of sugar and junk food consumption.

Did you know that there are 10 teaspoons of sugar in a 350ml bottle of apple juice and 16 teaspoons of sugar in a 600ml bottle of soft drink?

Often, we are grabbing sugary foods and drinks because it is convenient and we have become so addicted to sugar that we find it somewhat second nature.

Instead of grabbing that can of soft drink, how about having a bottle of water with you at all times? Instead of a sugary lolly or snack, how about a piece of fruit instead? Instead of buying that bag of chips, or bottle of soft drink or flavoured milk at your next grocery shopping trip, how about buying a bag of fruit or a new empty bottle so you can fill it up everyday with normal tap water?

Small steps can and will eventually lead to better health outcomes for us all. Start today by being more aware of what you are putting in your body.

Dr Nick Cheah would like patients to cut down their sugar intake.

Diet advice at BHRMC

Cardiac care close Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death, killing one person every 12 minutes and accounting for nearly 30 per cent of all deaths in this country.

Largely preventable, heart disease affects one in six Australians with more than one million people aged 30-65 at a high risk of having a heart attack or stroke-many of whom may not even know it.

Knowing your individual risks is the first step in avoiding a heart attack or stroke and the best way to find out your overall risk is to see your doctor or health practitioner for a heart health check.

While there are some risks that can’t be changed-for example-increasing age, being male, ethnic background (Indian sub-continent and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) and family history, there are plenty of risk factors that can be mitigated: Smoking High cholesterol High blood pressure Diabetes Being inactive Being overweight Unhealthy diet Depression/isolation Fortunately for the people of Berwick and surrounding communities, St John of God Berwick Hospital offers a range of cardiac services and specialises in the management of patients who are experiencing symptoms associated with heart failure. Along with a cardiovascular interventional laboratory, which allows cardiologists to look inside a heart and enables them to diagnose and treat heart conditions, the hospital offers cardiac/high dependency care to patients who have experienced a cardiac event such as a heart attack.

Residents can’t connect

By Brendan Rees Residents at a new housing estate in Clyde North estate say they are fed up with mobile phone reception cutting out repeatedly.

High Grove Estate residents say they struggle to call emergency services, can't access the internet, and most of the time can't use their phone indoors.

They are now rallying their local politician to fix the problem.

Caitlin Williams contacted Star News after recently attempting to call triple-zero three times before the call-taker could make any sense of her.

After about 15 minutes on the phone, she finally gave an address after hearing her neighbours argue violently.

But being a new estate Ms Williams said the police couldn't find where to go and were unable to call her.

"They ended up door knocking however many houses until they found me to figure where they were supposed to go," she said.

"Thankfully nothing bad happened but if something bad had happened to try and get police or an ambulance there is just a nightmare."

Ms Williams spoke of another frustrating experience when she drove to get mobile reception after her internet service had dropped out.

"Because it's a new estate there's often building debris everyday so I ran over a nail and got a flat tyre ... couldn't call roadside assist because I had no phone reception."

Member for Bass Jordan Crugnale said her

Caitlin Williams struggles to find mobile phone coverage in Clyde North. 196640 office had been contacted consistently on the issue from residents over the past six months.

"Our role is to advocate on their behalf to the Federal Government as it falls under their remit," she said.

"Recently the Federal Government confirmed that a new tower will be built in Clyde North which will improve mobile coverage."

Ms Crugnale added: "Access to mobile

phone coverage is a necessary part of life which is why we're pushing so hard for communities here in Bass to have the connections they deserve."

Another resident, Liz Crawford said she was upset when Mildura hospital called her at home to say her mother was dying but hung up due to the weak phone signal.

"You've literally got to walk out on the street to actually get it to work," she said.

"It's a real problem."

A National Broadband Network spokesperson said people should contact their retail service provider if they experienced any internet issues.

"If they cannot solve the problem they will contact us and we will investigate for them to get to the source of the problem," the spokesperson said.

FOCUS ON … TAX TIME

Muaremov the friendly family accountants at tax time Michael Muaremov is opening his Beaconsfield practice to new clients for the first time in nearly a decade.

Until now the practice has only taken new clients on referral.

Mr Muaremov said the time was right to take on new clients, who will be assigned to his team of four qualified accountants.

“We have capped our client numbers for the last 10 years but my team is eager and ready to take on their own client loads,“ he explained.

Mr Muaremov opened his eponymous business 20 years ago.

He was headed for a life as a lawyer until the arrival of a daughter with wife Merita when he was barley 20 meant he had to eschew study for a paying job as a clerk. He eventually went back to school to study accounting and opened his own practice in 1999 when he was just 26.

It turned out to be a fortunate turn of events.

Michael Muaremov, centre back, and his team from left Kavi, Dom, Katrina, Romaine, wife Merita, Fabiola and Ali. 194548 “I wouldn’t change a thing if I could have my life over again. I would have made a useless lawyer,“ he said, laughing.

“I am about helping people. I wasn’t meant to be an accountant but I do love what I do.“ The firm has been based in its current of-

fice on the Old Princes Highway for 17 of its 20 years .

Wife Merita has been by Michael’s side as the business has gone from strength to strength, and works in the office part- time Eldest daughter Fabiola has worked in the family business for 10 years and is now the practice manager.

Second daughter Deanna has followed in her father’s footsteps and is an accountant.

Third daughter Leonora is doing her VCE and hopes to become a mid-wife.

Merita and his girls are complemented by what Michael calls his “practice family“.

Business manager Romaine Nichols has been with Michael for 16 years and accountant Anne Bryan has been with him for 15 years.

Associate accountants Katrina Villegas and Ali Kasemi have clocked up 10 years and 14 years respectively. Graduate accountant Kavi Kumar is the newest addition to the team.

In return for their loyalty, Michael ensures his staff have opportunities to grow professionally.

“One of the reasons they stay is because they don’t need to look for opportunities outside. I work to ensure people there are opportunities to grow professionally within the business.“ The firm handles the tax affairs of individuals including the self employed, sole traders, partnerships, companies, trusts and self managed superannuation funds.

The team prepare and lodge tax returns and Business Activity Statements and work closely with business clients and investors.

Plans are afoot for a 20 year celebration later this year that will include many of the firm’s most valued clients.

The celebration will honour two decades in business for a firm which is proud to be known as the “happy accountants“.

Cards for cause

By Jessica Anstice A Pakenham woman with special needs has hit on a new idea to raise money for charity.

Michelle Cleland put her plans to action a few weeks ago by creating homemade cards and donating them to the Berwick Opportunity Shop.

The very special 36-year-old spends her own money to make the cards with all the proceeds from sales going to the op shop.

"She has the most beautiful smile and infectious personality and laugh," Berwick Opportunity Shop president Margaret Ruse said.

"She is a wonderful supporter of the Berwick Opportunity Shop and we love her."

Michelle makes the cards with the help of her carer Sue and supportive mother Marie.

"Sue brings Michelle into our shop for a regular weekly visit, at which time Michelle replenishes her supply of beautiful cards," Ms Ruse added.

"Michelle radiates warmth and affection that our customers and volunteers can't resist, Michelle brightens everyone's day.

"We value her contribution and the time and effort she puts into making the cards is truly appreciated."

Since June 25, Michelle has sold enough cards to total $196 with each card selling for just $2.

"It's good that they're going, it gives her something to do and she's really proud of herself," Michelle's mother Marie Cleland said.

"I just love the fact that she loves to help people. She's been through hell and back.

She's so brave and just happy all the time.

"The ladies at the op shop love her to death, they're so nice to her and she comes home with a bag of stuff every week."

Michelle's unique handmade cards cater for all occasions, including birthday, thank you, baby shower and friendship cards.

Stand up, Akmal

By Jessica Anstice

From left, Michelle’s career Suzie Henderson, Michelle Cleland, mother Marie Cleland and Berwick Opportunity Shop’s Vicki Smith. Vick kindly crocheted a blanket for Michelle to take to dialysis as well as a beanie and special pillow slip.

Pakenham woman Michelle Cleland creates homemade cards from the kindness of her heart, to donate to the Berwick Opportunity Shop.

Comedian Akmal Saleh is heading to Hallam.

He'll perform at the Hallam Hotel on Thursday 22 August as part of his Transparent Tour.

Akmal has performed in movies, sketches, stand up and TV shows, as a radio DJ and talk show host, and is a published author.

He immigrated to Australia from Egypt with his family nearly 30 years ago.

"My parents didn't tell us where we were going," he said.

"We thought it was two hours away.

"Twenty hours later, we got off the plane.

We were on another planet."

Akmal's Arab heritage steers his comedy to issues of religion, honesty, looks at modernday life.

He has appeared at festivals around the world including Adelaide Fringe Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Vancouver Comedy Festival, Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, New Zealand Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Akmal wrote and starred in the feature film You Can't Stop the Murders' to critical acclaim and also the cult hit TV show The 40 Foot Show.

He hosted The Wrong Way Home drive radio show on the Nova network and achieved the station's highest ever drive-time ratings.

With the help of her carer Sue and mother Maria, Michelle has created a range of different cards that are for sale at the Berwick Opportunity Shop.

Kangaroo mob celebrates

By Tyler Lewis Records are made to be broken, but it doesn't mean they can't be celebrated.

The 2019 campaign looms as the first season in 21 years that all of Officer/ROC's sides will feature in September, and at the same time is a chance to celebrate the champions who have come before the current potential ones.

On Saturday 17 August, the Officer/ROC Football Netball Club will be celebrating the achievements of past champions who have filled the silverware cabinets at Starling Road.

While the current crop of Kangaroos will be hoping to move into fourth position on the ladder against Warburton on Saturday, the reserves champions of 1984, '89, '99 and '04 will all be in celebration with '89 A, B, C and '94 A and C premiership netball sides in a massive day for the club.

Since this prominent era, the Kangaroos have been deprived of collective success until now.

President Nick McLennan believes the weekend celebrating the past heroes of the club, provides the current ones with some spark coming into such an important finals series for the club.

"I always say 'if you don't know where you come from, you will never know where you are going'," he said.

The 1994 ROC Reserves team that went on to win the premiership.

"It's great that, as a club, we are able to celebrate our previous success stories and it is important to have our past players around the club.

"This weekend presents us with the oppor-

Picture: SUPPLIED

tunity for our current players to hear from and meet many players who have years of success and it's a great opportunity for them to learn about the history of our great club.

"If there any past players out there who

played in any of these flags, come down to what is shaping to be an excellent day."

While the day is a sensational spark of inspiration for the current crop of talent at Officer, it is also a great way to reunite the champions that have worn the white and blue in the past. And president of the club's past players and officials, Rob Cousins, is nothing short of excited for the event this weekend.

"It is an exciting time to be around the club," he said.

"This weekend presents a great opportunity for great friends to get to get together, talk about their footballing career whilst showing support to the current crop of players and officials.

"This will be the first opportunity many of our guests experience the new league, so it will be an exciting day.

"With all our sides, both football and netball locked away in the finals, it presents us with the opportunity to repeat the feats of those who we are celebrating this weekend."

Officer plays the last-placed Warburton Millgrove this weekend, while Mount Evelyn, which sits in fourth, takes on Monbulk, so it is a great chance for the Roos to sneak into fourth with a strong percentage which would cap off what looms as a remarkable day for all involved.

Bizarre scenes at Ballam Park as sinkhole wreaks havoc

By Tyler Lewis MORNINGTON PENINSULA NEPEAN DIVISION 2 - ROUND 18 In fascinating scenes, the match between Karingal and Pearcedale was abandoned due to a sinkhole emerging in the middle of the ground at Ballam Park on Saturday.

The sides shared the points but, with Crib Point upsetting Tyabb, the Dales will finish the year on the bottom of the ladder.

Devon Meadows finished its season in style, beating the finals-bound Chelsea 10.13 (74) to 8.17 (65).

The Gulls got off to a flyer with a handy three-goal buffer at the first break, but the Panthers clawed back into the contest and ran away courtesy of a five-goal to two third term.

Stuart Cunningham was the best for the Panthers while Shaun Foster stood strong for the Gulls.

SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 17 Keysborough shook off a wasteful start against Caulfield to run away with a 10.11 (71) to 5.13 (43) victory.

Chris Bryan brought up his season halfcentury with his two majors on the weekend, while Anthony Brannan was named best afield.

Stuart Paterson was a standout for Caulfield.

The finals begin a week early for the Gulls this week when they take on Springvale Districts, which sits on top of the ladder.

The Doveton Eagles cruised to victory after a blistering opening half against Heatherton, winning 10.13 (73) to 2.5 (17).

Nick Battle was the best for the Eagles with four majors while Adam Read also added three.

Chris Tosin stood strong for Heatherton, which now faces relegation at season's end if it can't beat East Brighton in the final round.

The Eagles are expected to make the finals after they take on Skye in Round 18.

DIVISION 3 ROUND 17 The ladder-leading Hampton Park continued its winning ways against Endeavour Hills on the weekend in its 9.9 (63) to 5.3 (33) triumph.

The Redbacks did as they have all year when they jumped the Hills early and coasted home from then.

Shaun Walsh was the best for Hampton Park while Nathan Reid was among the standouts for Endeavour Hills.

Endeavour Hills has the opportunity to move into second position when it takes on Clayton this weekend in the final round.

placed South Yarra if the Hawks are to sneak into fourth.

Lyndhurst inflicted some more pain on Lyndale when it won 13.10 (88) to 0.2 (2) on Saturday.

The Lightning is a formidable side this season and made the most of its opportunities in front of goal early to put away any doubt of taking the four points.

Hamish Browning continued his form in front of goal, booting four for Lyndhurst, while Jayden Denmead was named the best afield for Lyndale in his side's disappointing display.

The Lightning, which sits on top of the ladder, will get a taste of finals early when it takes on third-placed Frankston Dolphins on the weekend.

Lyndale, meanwhile, has the chance to snare its second victory when it takes on Dandenong, which also has just the one win so far.

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE PREMIER - ROUND 16 Montrose stuck with Rowville for the best part of a half before the Hawks flexed their muscles

in the second half to take away a 14.7 (91) to 8.9 (57) win.

A seven-goal to one premiership term set up the win for the Hawks, who had nine individual goal scorers.

Ziggie Alwan was the best for the Hawks with his three majors.

Rowville will take on Noble Park in the next round of the season.

Noble Park suffered its 10th loss of the season when it went down to an inaccurate Blackburn, 9.17 (71) to 6.6 (42).

Nathan Oakes was best afield for the Bulls again while Jake Hammond booted five for the Panthers.

VFLW Casey fell short of another victory when it lost to Hawthorn, 2.7 (25) to 3.4 (22).

Sarah Lampard brought her own Sherrin for the Demons, collecting 28 disposals while Amana McDonnough was instrumental with 13 tackles for the day.

Casey will face the Northern Territory Thunder next week in its final match of the year.

if they win they will equal Clayton on wins and surpass them on percentage to steal second place.

The Redbacks will play Black Rock, who they are expected to beat comfortably. Hampton Park forward Peter Dye (62 season goals) practically has his name etched on the league's goal kicking award already, leading the next best Jarrod Marolla (50) by 12 majors.

DIVISION 4 ROUND 17 Hallam relished in the opportunity to gain a percentage boost against Dandenong, winning 15.16 (106) to 2.3 (15).

The Hawks went goalless in the opening term but flicked the switch in the second and the last to run away big winners.

A brilliant 7.5 to nil final term boosted the victory for the Hawks. Rory McIvor was best afield with his three majors.

Hallam now holds a two-point ladder advantage over Moorabbin, due to the Kangaroos' draw against the Dolphins. It will come down to the Round 18 clash against second

Upsets to shake up finals

By Nick Creely OUTER EAST FOOTBALL PREMIER AND DIVISION 1 REVIEW "There was a lot to play for, and we have to keep winning to play finals, so to get over the top of the reigning premiers who are incredibly hard to beat on their home deck, it was a great result."

Cranbourne coach Steve O'Brien knows just how vital Saturday's win against Berwick was in horrendous conditions, but understands it's only half a job done as finals creep closer and closer by the day.

The Eagles moved six points clear of Wandin in sixth as the final spot in the Premier Division top five moves one step closer to being finalised, with upsets galore truly shaking things up.

In arguably the biggest upset of the season, the Eagles defied the conditions at Edwin Flack Reserve to stun the champion Berwick side, 7.4 (46) to 6.6 (42).

Settling the quicker of the two sides on a ground synonymous with dominant Wickers performances, the Eagles held true defensively to set the game up in the first term, and with the return of some of their biggest stars, booted three unanswered goals to set up a 25-point half time lead, holding Rhys Nisbet's champion side goalless as a result.

Jed Smith and Jordan Andrews provided a spark up forward for the Wickers in the third term, and with the likes of Madi Andrews and the in-form Lucas Jellyman-Turner finding his run, it seemed the home side would run over the top after slashing the margin to just four points with a quarter to play.

But the Eagles showed heart, and ferociousness at the footy to hold on despite the lead changing hands frequently in a riveting final term, with O'Brien's side capturing its most precious four points of the season, and at ex-

Cranbourne's Luke Bee-Hugo looks to break free of this tackle. 196443 actly the right time.

O'Brien told the News that it was near on impossible to prepare for the on-field conditions, which made for a classic wet-weather game, but said his side had to alter the way it mentally prepared, and it came to fruition in the first half.

"You can't prepare for that, it was a hard slog, and it was more of a mental battle, and that was something we touched on before the game," he said.

"It was probably more mental than technical.

"Berwick had the wind in the first quarter, so we held really strongly, and denied them being able to impact the scoreboard, and it was crucial.

"And we were able to kick one against the wind in the first quarter which gave us some momentum and belief, and in the second

quarter we were able to put space on the game.

"But we knew they'd come back, they're a great footy side, so we knew they were never out of it, but our first half was outstanding."

Jake Stephens, important defender Jordan Bertrand and gun utility Shaun Marusic was instrumental all day, while Archie LawlerLobato showed plenty on his way to a haul of three goals.

Helping Cranbourne's cause was the second major boilover of the round, with Upwey Tecoma stunning Wandin at home to put a dent in the Dogs' finals hopes, 11.6 (72) to 8.15 (63).

The Dogs settled quicker than the home side to take in a seemingly match-winning lead of 27 points at the major break, but the Tigers fought back to slash the margin to 14 with a quarter to play.

With the momentum behind them, the Tigers kicked five goals to one in the final term, running away with the game and seeing the Dogs fall six points - and hefty percentage behind Cranbourne in fifth, and with a bye to come this weekend, may have left their run for finals too late.

Beaconsfield, meanwhile, snared a vitally important win in a tricky road trip to Olinda Ferny Creek in incredibly difficult conditions, 13.13 (91) to 7.12 (54).

The Bloods made headlines around Victoria with a stunning picture posted on social media on Saturday morning, capturing snow blanketing the ground only hours before the game.

The challenge for the Eagles - similar to Cranbourne - was one of a mental battle, with the Bloods proving to be one of the difficult obstacles to overcome, particularly on their home deck.

And at half-time, with the Bloods holding on to a six-point advantage, Leigh McQuillen's side needed to respond and bank a win to keep in touch with third spot.

With the class of the likes of Matthew Johnson (four goals), and industrious performances from Riley Verbi and Jack Griffiths through the middle, the Eagles took the game away with a brilliant, and unanswered six-goal third term, showcasing the type of football that makes them such a threat for any side.

In the remaining match of Premier, Woori Yallock did what it needed to against Healesville, 11.19 (85) to 1.4 (10) to consolidate third position on the table.

In Division 1, it took the energy and talent of some of Doveton's younger brigade to take down Monbulk on Saturday in AFL Outer East Division 1.

The Doves moved a game clear in third in what was their most impressive performance of the season, controlling proceedings on their home deck to knock the Hawks off the top of the ladder, 15.7 (97) to 7.5 (47).

In complete control from the outset, the Doves found a spark early to jump the premiership fancies with a four-goal to two opening term, before flexing their muscles with some electric ball movement to take in a 38-point lead at half time.

With the regulars in Matthew Boyd (three goals), Daniel Zajac and Matt Stapleton providing ample experience once again, two of the Doves' brightest young stars lit it up in a game played in freezing cold conditions as the home side ran away with a massive confidence-boosting win.

Berwick youngster Nick Green in action.

Doveton young gun Connor Macdonald lays this tackle in his sparkling debut game.

Youngster Connor Macdonald - a name that will feature plenty in the coming years as an AFL draft prospect - was best afield in his senior debut as a teenager, taking out the David George Medal in the Indigenous Round as the Doves donned a special Indigenous jumper.

The Vic Country teenager, who will likely feature for the Dandenong Stingrays in the coming years, is a star on the rise, with director of football Martin Stillman full of praise for the highly talented youngster.

"His family's got a long association with the club - he's 16-years-old, was the Vic Country under 16 vice-captain this year, and is Dandenong Stingrays listed, he's a very talented young player," he said.

"We probably don't expect him to feature too much at Doveton, he's got a lot of commitments, with Vic Country and has played a lot of school footy this year.

"He had a run in the 18s against Emerald, and this week was outstanding, which is so pleasing for us especially with his family's history."

Another youngster to shine on the big stage was former Narre Warren forward Max Sheppard, who snagged four majors - including three in a dynamic second-term which helped turn the game for the Doves. Sheppard crossed over to the club mid-season after being starved of opportunities for senior football at the Magpies.

"He's a quality person on and off the field - everyone in the AFL Outer East knows he's quality, but wasn't able to break in for senior footy at Narre, and he was looking for opportunities," Stillman said.

"He's great friends with Mitch Cotter - who's returned to the Doves - and he's been terrific, and at 19-years-old, is only going to get better.

"He kicked four, and is starting to blossom as a key forward for Doveton. We look forward to hopefully watching him playing senior footy for the next decade at our club."

In the remaining matches in Division 1, Pakenham surged to top of the ladder with a comfortable win against Warburton Millgrove, 11.8 (74) to 1.2 (8), Mount Evelyn held on against Belgrave away from home, 10.20 (80) to 10.13 (73), while Officer dominated Emerald, 17.14 (116) to 4.3 (27).
