Casey a ‘hotspot’

By Brendan Rees and Danielle Kutchel

People attend a testing site at Gibb Street, Berwick on Tuesday 23 June. 210241 site at Fountain Gate was closed earlier this month, but testing site at Gibb Street in Berwick has seen queues around the block.

A new pop-up drive-through testing site will be opened at Casey Fields in Cranbourne East on Thursday 25 June.

Hundreds of staff will be going door-todoor in Casey from Wednesday 24 June to en-

sure locals understand the virus, where to get tested and how to access financial support if they need to self-isolate, according to a DHHS spokesperson.

Testing sites will only test people if they exhibit symptoms of the virus.

The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee, the Federal Government’s chief

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS advisory body, said in a statement it had been briefed about the outbreak in Victoria and noted its “immediate concern” of the coronavirus hotspot areas including Casey.

“The AHPPC strongly discourages travel to and from those areas until control of community transmission has been confirmed,” it said.

Crowds are flocking to a coronavirus testing site in Berwick following an alarming surge of new infections across the state.

The state’s outbreak has prompted Health Minister Jenny Mikakos to say the State Government was “very concerned about the level of transmission” of six local government areas - including Casey City - which had been identified as coronavirus hotspots, with police ramping up patrols.

“In the legal directions that have come in today, we have not issued stay at home directions for those hotspots areas but of course we don’t rule anything out,” Ms Mikakos said.

Victoria has notched up its eighth consecutive day of double-digit case growth - with cases rising by 20 to 1884 in the 24 hours to Wednesday 24 June - a figure labelled as “concerning” by Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton.

It comes as a Cranbourne aged-care home was placed in lockdown on Saturday 20 June after an elderly resident tested positive to coronavirus.

All close contacts have been ordered into home quarantine and all residents and staff at the Lifeview Willow Wood facility will undergo testing after a single resident was diagnosed with the virus.

Ms Mikakos said a rapid response outbreak squad, which is staffed by public health specialists and clinicians, had visited the Duff Street facility to ensure appropriate testing, contact tracing and deep cleaning was carried out.

According to the latest health data on Wednesday 24 June, nine active cases of the virus were recorded in Casey City while Greater Dandenong had four cases and Cardinia five.

Currently seven people are in hospital, including two patients in intensive care, according to the 24 June figures.

There are now 241 cases believed to be related to community transmission.

Meanwhile, crowds continue to flock to nearby testing sites. A drive-through testing

City’s crime rise

Kill charges

By Brendan Rees

Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton addresses reporters at a press conference. ernment had provided more than $2.5 million in funding under the community crime prevention program for 25 grants to improve community safety in Casey.

State Liberal MP for Gembrook and Shadow Minister for Crime Prevention Brad Battin said the statistics were “alarming”, saying families “have enough to worry about at the moment with Covid-19” let alone “worry about safety in their own home”.

Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said police were bracing for a “snap back” of crime after it quietened during the Covid-19 lockdown from April.

“It’s going to be very difficult with unem-

ployment moving forward,” Dep Comm Patton warned.

Statewide, the criminal offence rate rose by 3.5 per cent per capita over the year ending 31 March 2020.

Police Minister Lisa Neville said youth crime and family violence were particular areas of concern.

She said youth offenders aged 10-17 years old were still proportionally small in Victoria, making up nine per cent of total offenders.

Ms Neville said the age group were “overrepresented” in public-place robberies, which largely involved the theft of phones, Air Pods, clothes and most of all, shoes from other youths.

Heartless plant thieves’ garden heist

By Brendan Rees An elderly Narre Warren South couple have been left devastated after heartless thieves ripped out plants from their front garden.

John Spellmeyer, 82, and his 77-year-old wife Henny say they were shocked to discover their beloved plants missing from their Robinswood Parade home on Tuesday 16 June after the culprits struck sometime between 4am and 7am.

Mr Spellmeyer said the theieves had pulled out nearly 10 plants including roses, geraniums and a magnolia tree - worth between $500 and $1000 in total.

“They trampled over some of the flowers,” Mr Spellmeyer said. “I had a big garden pot in the front of the house and we had a plant in there which was a metre high and that was pulled out.”

Mr Spellmeyer said the culprits appeared to be opportunistic as their garden is not fenced and “exposed to a lot of traffic”.

The couple, who have lived at their home for 20 years, also found a trail of soil on the

According to Mr Spellmeyer, the bandits appeared to have driven a car over the nature strip after discovering tyre tracks and soil “spread all over the street next door”.

Mr Spellmeyer said his neighbour saw a car parked on the footpath in front of the couple’s

garden on the morning of the theft, which he described as as a “bit strange”.

He said his neighbour had to leave for work and couldn’t get a description of the car or the registration - but believed it may have been a Mazda.

Ms Spellmeyer said she was “so surprised” by the senseless act, saying her husband had “done a lot of work” to make the garden look impressive.

“You don’t expect something like that to happen,” she said, adding they had been asleep at the time of the offence.

“There’s lots and lots of houses being built in the area and that’s a good way to start your garden or a cheap way to start your garden I suppose.”

Ms Spellmeyer added she had spent some time replacing some of the plants as her husband wasn’t able to after undergoing a knee replacement.

Narre Warren police have confirmed the incident and are investigating.

Anyone with information about the theft is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Missing Persons Squad detectives have charged a further two people with murder over the death of a 26-year-old man, whose body was found in Lysterfield.

Court documents revealed Nicole Anthea Anderson, 37, from Cranbourne, was charged on Friday 19 June over the death of Zane Meyer from Oakleigh after police found his body at a semi-rural area near Nixon Road on 17 June.

Police have since charged a 33-year-old North Melbourne man and a 30-year-old man of no fixed place of address with murder. The pair will face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, 25 June.

Ms Anderson, who was remanded in custody following her murder charge, faced the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday 19 June but did not apply for bail. Her next hearing will be held on 11 September.

Court documents show police accuse Ms Anderson of murdering Mr Meyer sometime between 11 May and 13 May at Oakleigh, about 20 kilometres west of Lysterfield.

Mr Meyer was last seen on 11 May and had been reported as a missing person.

Upon discovering Mr Meyer’s body five weeks ago, police immediately treated his death as suspicious.

Police say detectives are continuing their investigations and are seeking to speak to anyone who may have information relating to this matter.

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

Police appeal

By Brendan Rees Police are appealing to the public to identify a group of males following an assault at a shopping complex in Cranbourne East on Tuesday 16 June.

Police say three males attended a store at the Hunt Club Village Shopping Centre on Linsell Boulevard about 3pm where its alleged one of the males attempted to steal a number of items from the store but was stopped by the attendant.

“A fight then ensued between the three men and the attendant. The men then fled the scene, the attendant received minor injuries,” a Victoria Police spokesman said.

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

Crime in Casey has jumped in the past 12 months - with more than half of criminal incidents going unsolved, the latest crime statistics have revealed.?The number of recorded offences in Casey City rose by seven per cent, with stealing from a motor vehicle, and theft topping the list.

However, criminal damage, assault and related offences, and burglaries per 100,000 were down slightly compared to last year.

Sobering, only 27 per cent of incidents in Casey resulted in charges being laid while 54.2 per cent of incidents remained unsolved.

The Crime Statistics Agency publishes recorded crime statistics every quarter, and the latest statistics cover the year ending 31 March 2020.

One of the biggest increases was stealing from motor vehicles (3344 in total) - up 19.6 per cent from last year.

Family violence incidents were also up by 4.6 per cent while alleged offender incidents involving theft climbed by 11.3 per cent.

Cranbourne MP Pauline Richards said family violence “continues to be one of the most pressing law and order issues in the state”, and “perpetrators are being held to account more than ever”.

“These latest statistics show that police are absolutely focused on this, with family violence training rolled out across the entirety of the force, state-of-the-art reporting technology introduced and 415 specialist family violence police on the ground,” Ms Richards said.

Ms Richards thanked all police officers for their “unwavering focus, hard work and dedication to keeping Victoria safe”.

Payroll tax refunded to businesses

‘Thank you’ for your generosity

The State Government will tip more than $7 million in to the Casey economy by supporting local businesses to get through to the other side of the coronavirus crisis.

Bass MP Jordan Crugnale this week announced 261 businesses in Casey have received full payroll tax refunds for the 2019-20 financial year totalling $7,543,756.62.

The payroll tax refunds are part of the Victorian Government’s $1.7 billion Economic Survival Package, which is helping Victorian businesses and workers during the pandemic.

Meanwhile, 1663 businesses in Casey have been paid a one-off $10,000 business support fund grant for operational costs such as salaries and utilities.

The Business Support Fund provides payments for eligible businesses that have a wages bill below the payroll tax threshold.

The Economic Survival Package also includes land tax deferrals for eligible small businesses, rent relief for commercial tenants, and the $500 million Working for Victoria fund to help workers who have lost their jobs find new opportunities.

More than 6700 workers across the state have already started drawing pay cheques through Working for Victoria.

Ms Crugnale also welcomed the news that local creative workers and businesses would share in state-wide grants totalling $2.4 million.

There are currently 101 jobs available in Bass Coast through the Working for Victoria fund. Visit https://www.vic.gov.au/workingforvictoria for more information and to register to work.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING On 18 June, the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page shared a story about the latest crime statistics revealing the crime rate was up seven per cent in Casey in the past 12 months. Here are how readers reacted online: Ben Kerr: Well, when authorities sit on their hands doing nothing of course crime will increase ... instead of handing out appropriate penalties that at least match the damage that the crime has done to society.

Joel Mitchell: Rotating doors for repeat offenders.... police are doing everything they can.

Kim Hufton: Half the problem is the younger generation have nothing to do.

Trish Shantai O’Grady: Maybe if they were jailed instead of being let out on bail all this time, the crimes may decrease.

On 19 June, the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page shared a story about a state Liberal MP calling on the Government to fix the “nightmare” roadworks causing delays on Thompsons Road.

Here are how readers responded online: Dazza Fellows: They should have built an overpass not traffic lights!! Nothing will change, have a look at how many people/ families are moving up to Clyde, Clyde North, Cranbourne North etc every week!

Rebecca De Fina: Can take me over an hour from Berwick to Cranbourne some days.

KJ Gould: Oh but when they fix them they do it all at once so all the roads are b*ggered.

Record budget delivered

By Brendan Rees Casey Council has formally adopted its 202021 budget totalling a record $536.7m, which focuses on supporting the communities’ economic recovery from the pandemic while continuing to provide vital services and infrastructure for the rapidly growing municipality.

However, council has rejected a proposal from the Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association (CRRA) to consider freezing or reducing rates - which the ratepayer group argued was about $70 higher than the Victorian average.

“It’s not totally unexpected,” president of CRRA Brendan Browne said, who presented a budget submission via video at council’s meeting on 9 June.

“The most disappointing aspect was that they didn’t really speak to the main idea which is to slow down the repayments on Bunjil

Place; they’re trying to pay the whole building off by 2027 and that’s part of the reason our rates are as high as they are,” Mr Browne said.

Following a four-week public submission period, along with the exhibition of the Draft Council Action Plan, the budget was adopted at council’s Tuesday 23 June meeting, which includes an operational investment of $405.1 million.

In major projects, $43.2 million will go towards child, youth and family services; $47.7 million to upgrade and deliver new leisure and recreational facilities; $17.7 million towards aged and disability services; and $8.5 million to upgrade and deliver new community facilities.

The $131.6m capital works program - down from $27.1m in 2019-’20 will see the following major projects completed: Construction of a new district level soccer

·

and cricket multipurpose community facility at Tulliallan Estate, Cranbourne North ($9.4m) Construction of a new district level AFL, cricket and netball facility at Botanic Ridge Eastern Playing Fields, Botanic Ridge ($7.8m) Construction of a new Family and Community Centre at Elliston Estate, Clyde Village ($3.97m) Building renewal and upgrades to Strong Drive Children’s Centre, Hampton Park ($1.33m) Construction of new indoor netball facilities at Olive Road Reserve, Eumemmerring ($1.25m) Casey Council chair of administrators Noelene Duff said she was proud to oversee a budget that seeks to strike a balance between financial sustainability that will see Casey through to the other side of the Covid-19 crises, while also being “kind and responsive” to

· ·

· ·

the growing pressures of residents and ratepayers.

“We understand that there is a lot of angst and concern within the community right now, so this year more than ever before, we are committed to strong financial management, clear decision making and operating in a financially stable manner to ensure that we can assist our community to recover,” Ms Duff said.

According to council documents, council will extend its hardship relief package to 30 September 2020 in recognition of the continued economic impact of the pandemic.

This includes a freeze on interest on outstanding rates from 1 March 2020 to 30 June 2020, and legal action not being pursued on outstanding rates in 2019-20.

“Where possible we are providing flexibility to affected customers and encourage anyone unable to meet their payment due dates to get in touch with council,” the report stated.

Deja vu as panic buying begins ... again

By Danielle Kutchel Just when you thought it was safe to go to the shops, it seems toilet paper hoarders are striking again.

There are reports of chaotic scenes at local shopping centres as customers scramble to pick up packs of toilet roll.

According to one resident, staff at Coles Casey Central were warning customers not to take more than two packs at a time, even though there were no signs advising of the limit.

Down the road at Coles Berwick Central, staff have put up signs limiting customers to one pack per transaction, to beat the run on bog roll.

After visiting various major shopping centres in Berwick, Narre Warren and Beaconsfield, Star News Group witnessed customers leaving with multiple bulk packs of everyone’s favourite essential.

However, most of the shops visited had rolled out fresh pallets of the wanted white squares and placed them in strategic positions at the end of aisles.

The apparent panic buying follows the State Government’s designation of Casey and Cardinia as Covid-19 hotspots, thanks to recent outbreaks.

Shoppers Sheryl White and Graham Bottomley were appalled to see gaps appearing on the toilet paper shelves again.

“We saw it on the news this morning and

thought ‘oh not again!’” Sheryl exclaimed.

“Why does this happen? I don’t understand.

It’s sheer stupidity. There are no words to describe it.”

Graham said initial panic buying was likely to force others to stock up in fear of running short.

“We were here yesterday and everything was full. But not this morning.”

Woolworth has since moved to reinstate product limits for shoppers.

On Wednesday 24 June, Woolworths announced it would be limiting customers to two items of toilet paper, hand sanitiser, paper towel, flour, sugar, pasta, mince, UHT milk, eggs and rice across its Victorian stores.

Toilet roll shelves stripped bare again.

Bunjil opens

Major works have finished on Hallam Road.

A new shared walking and cycling path has been completed on Hallam Road and Evans Road.

Pictures: MAJOR ROAD PROJECTS VICTORIA

Major works finish

By Brendan Rees Months of frustration for south east motorists has ended with major construction on the Hallam Road upgrade complete.

The $53.5 million project, which builds on the previous Hallam Road duplication that was completed in 2014 from Pound to Ormond Road, has realigned Hallam Road and Evans Road, and installed traffic lights to improve safety for drivers and pedestrians.

A key part of the project includes the upgraded intersection of South Gippsland Highway, Hallam Road and Evans Road by removing the ‘dog leg’ by aligning Evans Road with Hallam Road and installing traffic lights.

The intersection has seen 22 crashes including south of Ormond Road since 2012.

Traffic lights have also been added outside the Resource Recovery Precinct to improve access for pedestrians as well as help manage trucks entering and exiting.

A new shared walking and cycling path has also been completed on both sides of Hallam Road and Evans Road.

The project has also built new bus stops along Hallam Road and Evans Road, and installed new bus queue jump lanes at the Hallam Road, South Gippsland Highway and Evans Road intersection to give buses priority.

Meanwhile, an extra lane has been added in direction on Hallam Road between Ormond Road and South Gippsland Highway.

Traffic flow and safety has also been improved by changing Livingstone Rise and Aylmer Road to left-in and out only.

Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan said the road would be safer and smoother for the 10,000 motorists that use Hallam Road each day.

“We’re keeping our promises and delivering projects that create jobs, keep traffic moving and deliver more trains more often,” Ms Allan said.

In the coming weeks, the State Government will release new designs for Hallam Station, based on community feedback.

The new Hallam station will be built as part of the Hallam Road Level Crossing Removal Project, which will begin at the end of the year and be finished in 2022.

Meanwhile, works is continuing with the $1 billion Cranbourne Line Upgrade, which will duplicate the line, build a new Merinda Park Station and remove the last level crossings left on the line - including the Evans Road level crossing by the end of the year. Eleven crossings have so far been removed on the line.

The new station, level crossing removals, Metro Tunnel and high-capacity trains will together create capacity for 121,000 extra passengers in the peak, each week on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines - a 45 per cent increase.

Casey Council is excited to announce that from Wednesday 1 July, the doors to Bunjil Place will reopen and our customer service centre will resume face-to-face services.

While there will be some differences but council can’t wait to welcome the community back to enjoy the beautiful arts and cultural precinct that is Bunjil Place.

The customer service centre will be open from 10am until 4pm Monday to Friday and closed on weekends.

At this stage, the Cranbourne customer service centre will not reopen.

To ensure the safety of both staff and customers, the customer service centre will be cashless, however, there are alternative methods to make payments, including via BPAY, on Council’s website or in some cases, via the phone. If residents wish to pay any type of council an invoice with cash, they do so via Post Billpay with Australia Post at any local branch.

In addition to the reopening of Customer Service, the Library, Cafe and Gallery will also welcome visitors back.

The Library will operate under the same hours as customer service, and in addition to weekdays, will also open from 10am until 3pm on Saturdays. Patron numbers within each space will be restricted to align with the current guidelines, and no programmed events will run.

The Gallery will open to the public from 10am until 3pm from Tuesday until Saturday with free sessions run each hour, on the hour.

Bookings are essential and can be made at either the Box Office (from 1 July) or via the Bunjil Place website.

Before visiting Bunjil Place again, council has some essential information for the community to know: when entering Bunjil Place, customers are asked to enter via the door near the cafe and exit via the Gallery/Library door visitors must provide their contact details upon entering the facility. These will be kept for 28 days and only used if required in order to align ourselves with current DHHS recommendations and help prevent the risk of community transmission, council will only be accepting cashless payment for all purchases and payments at Bunjil Place

A couple whose beloved pooch was injured at a Berwick park after tripping over a burrowlike hole suspect hoons are to blame.

Kira, a 12-year-old rescue border collie cross kelpie is recovering after tripping over a three to four centimetre deep hole at Hugh Hodson Reserve on Monday 15 June about 1pm.

Owner Caroline Tsaganas, who was with her husband at the reserve, said they had carry to carry their injured pet home before taking her to a vet who gave her anti-inflammatory medication.

“They said if it doesn’t get better by itself after a week or so we’ll need to consider surgery,” Ms Tsaganas said.

“She’s pretty much locked away in the

house. She’s not allowed to jump, run, which is completely against her breed.”

The couple have ruled out a ride-on-mower as the cause of the incident and believe hooning vehicles had ripped up the park due to the tyre marks left behind.

While the couple say they haven’t seen vehicles at the park they do hear burn-outs at night.

“I reckon they need to install bollards because that park is completely open,” Ms Tsaganas said.

“We don’t blame the council obviously, that’s not something they can control.”

Casey council’s manager of city and asset planning Keri New said council had not received any reports about anti-social hoon behaviour at Hugh Hodson Reserve.

A grandfather’s faith in humanity has been restored after a kind-hearted stranger paid for his groceries at a Berwick supermarket.

Sumuel Biram, 64, was standing behind a man at the checkout of Coles Parkhill Junction when the man handed the cashier a $100 note to cover Mr Biram’s shopping on Saturday 6 June about 9am.

His daughter Jess Allen said the man told her father “this is a gift for you”.

Ms Allen said there had been no prompting or reason for the man paying for her dad’s shopping.

“He said this man was standing there watching him as his shopping was getting put through and handed over a $100 note to the lady.

“My dad said ‘no, don’t worry about paying.’

He said: ‘no it’s not my money; this is for you’.

Ms Allen said as the man had been watching her dad’s items being scanned he “didn’t say any words or anything”.

The pair also hadn’t greeted or spoken to one another while walking around the supermarket.

“This guy just appeared randomly,” Ms Allen said, whom she described of Samoan or Maori appearance and aged in his 60s or 70s.

Mr Biram was heartened by the act, teling his daughter: “The girl and me had tears and she told me he must be an angel.”

A shocked Mr Biram, whose shopping totalled $70, tried to find the stranger to hand him the change, but he had gone.

“He didn’t get to say thank you or anything,” Ms Allen said.

Mr Biram, who was mourning the death of his wife who died the following day due to illhealth, was “really touched that someone went out of their way”.

“He was really so shocked that somebody

Casey Council has announced all of Casey’s streetlights will be powered by renewable energy from January next year.

As a part of Council’s Emissions Management Plan, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and work towards achieving carbon neutrality, council has signed a ten-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Procurement Australia to supply Casey’s streetlights with renewable energy from Victorian wind farms.

In 2018, council conducted a community environment survey which demonstrated almost 90 per per cent of the respondents were concerned about the potential impacts of climate change within Casey’s community.

Following this survey, council identified power purchase agreements (PPA) as a potential opportunity for council to achieve its carbon neutrality goal.

Council’s chair of administrators Noelene Duff was pleased to announce the partnership and said council was committed to reducing carbon emissions.

“This is another fantastic step towards Council’s long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral” she said.

“It will also provide a long-term sustainable solution for council to better manage and forecast utility costs by reducing Council’s vulnerability to rising energy costs and support future budget planning.”

The renewable energy will be sourced from Bald Hills Wind Farm in Wonthaggi from 1 January 2021 until the end of 2027, and then sourced from another Victorian Renewable project until 30 June 2030. Throughout the life of the agreement Casey’s streetlights will produce no greenhouse gas emissions.

Samaritan foots bill

Sumuel Biram was shocked by a stranger’s goodwill to pay for his shopping.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED would do that,” Ms Allen said, adding it “really gave him that hope in humanity that there really are some good people out there.”

Mr Biram described the man as “really

warm” and “really made him feel at ease”.

“My dad wanted to find this person to say thank you and to let him know with such a bad time in his life.”

Cafe’s revival as favourite

By Danielle Kutchel Berwick-based Cafe Revival’s coffee has woken up many a patron over the years - and this year, as Covid-19 hit, it has even ‘revived’ the cafe itself.

The cafe’s famous coffee window is what “saved” them during the lockdown, according to owner Peter Lumley, along with incredible support from the local community.

“We were lucky to be supported. Serving out onto the street, we got a lot of support from regulars and a lot of new people who came to see us.

“It was good to be able to continue trading, we were very fortunate to have that.”

Now, as restrictions ease, Cafe Revival is looking to pick up where it left off with the grand reopening of its wine bar on Friday July 3.

Alongside the bar’s reopening, Cafe Revival will begin offering gourmet pizzas made inhouse, right down to the dough and sauce.

On Saturday 4 July, the cafe will host a spe-

Homemade wraps and focaccias at Cafe Revival.

Picture: GARY SISSONS Pete Lumley of Cafe Revival is looking forward to the reopening of the wine bar.

Picture: GARY SISSONS cial live music show, to be live-streamed via Facebook, raising funds for John Mc Foundation. Details are available on Facebook.

Paul hopes this is the beginning of future live music events too.

The cafe is now fully licensed with a quality

wine list, and from July is set to be open until late on Fridays for drinks, pizzas and tapas, offering an exciting new vibe in Berwick’s evening restaurant scene.

On Saturday mornings, Cafe Revival offers a mouth-watering brunch menu for all those long-delayed catch-ups with friends, and each

day there is a variety of homemade treats on offer: think focaccias, wraps, soups and more, all made in-house.

Cafe Revival is located at 18 Gloucester Ave, Berwick and is open from 6am-2pm. From Friday 3 July Cafe Revival will be open 6am3pm Monday-Thursday, 6am-late on Fridays, and Saturdays 6am-2pm. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram for updates on the live-streaming event, wine bar reopening and other upcoming events.

Hair raising demand at Zahara Rose as lockdown eases

By Narelle Coulter Haircuts and colours were some of the personal grooming rituals that many people reluctantly did without during the Covid-19 crisis.

With life slowly getting back to normal, hairdressers are being inundated with customers keen to cover up months of grey regrowth and tame grown out hair styles.

That is certainly the experience of the team at Zahara Rose Hair and Beauty in Kempson Walk, Berwick.

“I’ve heard some clients sigh with relief when they walk in the door for their appointment,“ said hairdresser John McGreal.

EOFY

“They are so glad to be able to come back and have their hair cut and coloured. They leave feeling good about how they look again.

“It’s great to be getting back to normal and see all our clients again.“ Zahara Rose Hair and Beauty was opened five years ago by owner Danielle Escort.

John has been part of the team for four years, and is well known in Berwick with a hairdressing career spanning 30 years.

They work with a team of three other qualified hairdressers offering all aspects of men’s and ladies hairdressing.

John said business plummeted when the

Covid-19 shut down began in mid-March.

Danielle kept the business open for those regulars who did want appointments, however things are only now starting to get back to normal.

To comply with health regulations, chairs have been distanced in the salon. Equipment, products and chairs are sanitised after each customer.

John said the challenge was now to catch up with the backlog of clients wanting appointments.

“We have had some big haircuts, customers with hair reaching down their backs. I thought

my clippers were going blunt but it’s all the hair,“ he said, laughing.

As a result of demand, bookings are essential.

John said Zahara Rose was one of the friendliest salons in which he had ever had the pleasure to work.

“The skills from these ladies, particularly when it comes to colouring, is unbelievable.

Clients leave here looking like beauty queens.

The colouring and styling skills are fantastic.

They are also the friendliest bunch of hairdressers I’ve ever worked with.“ For appointments phone 0435 426 856.

Fault sparks house blaze

By Brendan Rees Firefighters have quelled a fire in the roof of a Hampton Park home which was caused by an electrical fault on Sunday evening, 21 June.

Four fire trucks from Hampton Park, Narre Warren and Hallam were called to the scene at Ungarie Court about 8.40pm.

Luckily, all occupants had evacuated and damage was limited to part of the roof.

According to Hampton Park fire brigade first lieutenant Chris Gomolis an electrical spark from a transformer connected to an old downlight is believed to have started the blaze.

He said the male occupant of the home had called an electrician after noticing a safe-

ty switch tripping. But while the electrician was on scene, insulation in the roof began to smoulder.

“The electrician attempted to put it out, was unsuccessful and that’s when they called us,” Mr Gomolis said.

The fire was brought under control within 40 minutes after power was cut to the property.

Crews also used a thermal imaging camera to pinpoint the location of the blaze in the roof.

“There was absolute minimal flame but a high presence of heat,” Mr Gomolis said. “The way insulation burns it smokes more than anything.

“Any fire in a roof space is always difficult

because you can’t see the full extent of the spread when it comes to insulation.”

Mr Gomolis said the resident and the electrician escaped without injury - however crews were “very quick” to notice the home’s fitted smoke alarm did not have a battery and informed the owner.

Crews remained on scene for about an hour.

As winter officially sets CFA is urging people to consider their fire safety and assess any potential risks around their home.

CFA deputy chief officer Trevor Owen said winter is the highest risk period for residential fires due to the increased use of heating equipment.

Heating equipment included fixed electrical and gas powered appliances, an open fire, wood heater and portable electrical heaters or those which use gas or kerosene.

Mr Owen said poorly maintained gas fires could cause deadly carbon monoxide poisoning.

“We have seen the tragic consequences of this in the past,” he said.

“There can be no greater reason to have your gas heater inspected and serviced than to ensure the safety of loved ones.

“Another common mistake is people drying clothes indoors near heaters and fireplaces, which can be dangerous. Clothes should be kept at least one metre from the heat source.”

Light candles, not homes: CFA warns of fire hazards The Country Fire Authority (CFA) has issued a reminder to let people know that candles, incense and oil burners can become a high fire risk.

With more time spent indoors during winter, the CFA is reminding community members to use these products safely.

CFA Deputy Chief Officer Trevor Owen said there were many instances where these small ambient flames had caused big fires and even bigger headaches for firefighters.

“Residents need to keep in mind that although candles and oil burners can be a pleasant addition to the home, leaving them unattended could be disastrous,” he said.

Mr Owen said there were a number of ways residents could safely use these products that would ensure the safety of their homes and more importantly, their lives and loved ones.

“It’s important to only use candles, incense and oil burners on a stable, non-combustible surface but to also keep curtains and other

items away from open flames at all times,” he explained.

“Ensure you always extinguish candles, incense, oil burners and cigarettes before leaving home or going to sleep.

“Children and animals should be supervised at all times near open flames and keep a safe distance, also make sure that lighters and matches are kept out of their reach.”

When smoking, Mr Owen suggested using heavy ashtrays with high sides to precent tipping over, as well as properly extinguishing cigarettes.

“We know that residents enjoy the ambience that candles incense and oil burners add to their homes, but with these small safety tips you can ensure you don’t light up your home.”Light up your candles, not your home The Country Fire Authority (CFA) has issued a reminder to let people know that candles, incense and oil burners can become a high fire risk.

After three premierships in four years, Berwick are enjoying their most successful era.

Berwick’s belter

By Nick Creely Berwick's intensity from the opening bounce until the final siren simply can't be matched.

Their premiership victory against Narre Warren on Saturday - giving the club back-toback flags for just the second time in club history - was intense, finals footy laced with the right amount of class.

After a third premiership in four years, the word 'dynasty' is deservingly being bandied around, and for good reason.

The club has a stranglehold over the southeast region - they're relentless, driven by success and are always chasing their next challenge. It's the cornerstone of all successful sporting clubs.

While the weather may have been arctic in their 51-point win over Narre Warren, the Wickers put in a magical performance befitting of a champion team in the midst of a golden era.

From the superstar Travis Tuck, who came to the club with a high expectation that has

now culminated with a best on ground medal in a grand final, to their champion skipper Madi Andrews, dynamic forward Harry Money, gun midfielder Bryce Rutherford and reliable defenders Jo West and Michael Riseley, the Wickers possess remarkable star power.

"We pride ourselves on our relentless approach," Berwick coach Stewart Kemperman said in the aftermath of another premiership win.

tion requires a clear understanding of how the people involved will be affected.

Think back to a significant workplace change that happened to you which was not successful. The chances are that the associated people implications had not been properly considered. What may often happen is that the change gets decided upon by a select few who decide that the first step is to get the impacted staff properly trained.

However, without clear and timely communication to the impacted group on why this change is necessary in the first place, what the associated risks and benefits are and the implications of not changing, no matter how much training is provided, the odds of staff getting on board are low. Early and relevant communication is critical.

So, whenever you need to make a business change, consider who will be impacted and ensure full and proper communication, understanding and ideally buy-in of those on the receiving end of the change.

“The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress” said Charles ’Boss’ Kettering (29/8/1876 – 25/11/1958) an American inventor, engineer, businessman and the holder of 186 patents.

While there are some that will naturally embrace change, it is fair to say that most of us will resist it. Why? Because it’s potentially disruptive and if we are satisfied with the status quo or have got to where we are based on the current way of doing things, change implies challenging what we currently know or requiring us to do things in a new and different way which may be foreign to us.

In fact, there is data out there to support this. A diagram published in Professor Everett Rogers’ book “Diffusion of Innovations”, first published in 1962, shows the various response categories to the introduction of a new product and the associated percentages of people in each category.

Those likely to embrace change tend to be in the “Innovators” or “Early Adopters” groups and hence make up just 16% of the population; it takes much longer for most of us to get on board.

However, as per the ’Boss’ comment above, change is necessary for progress and if a business does not change, staying still effectively means going backwards over time since the competition will overtake you. The good news is that applying a proper change management methodology such as Prosci® is now becoming more widespread as it has become increasingly clear that effective change implementa-

A proud record of growth Berwick College commenced in 1977 with the motto “Crescam - I shall grow” and today, through strong emphasis on excellence in teaching and learning, college students continue to demonstrate growth and make a difference to the community.

Students in elite programs such as the High Achievers, Basketball Academy, Dance Academy and Instrumental Music are going from strength to strength.

Over the last couple of years, the college has seen some of the best VCE and VCAL results in the area. The 2019 Dux Rebecca, achieved 97.3 and Berwick students featured in Top Designs, Top Class Dance, Bunjil VCE Emergent Exhibition and State Schools Spectacular.

In 2018, the school was Victorian Education Excellence Award winners for Outstanding Secondary Teacher and in 2017 it was the winner for Outstanding Koorie Education team.

Wellbeing Team members were finalists in both 2016 and 2017 for Outstanding Education Support.

Dedicated teachers, wellbeing staff, career

guidance and transition programs ensure students are well supported and well cared for throughout their school life. Learning Teams look after students in learning communities where they track the achievements of, and get to know, each student.

Berwick College offers an extensive range of school and inter-school sporting activities, in outstanding sporting facilities including hockey pitches, tennis courts, netball courts, Stadium, fitness gym and access to the City of Casey Athletics track and Berwick Leisure Centre.

A new Community Health and Wellbeing Centre is under construction, which will vastly improve facilities for students and the community in areas of Mental Health and Wellbeing.

Staff are very proud of the journey the college has taken; its inclusive education, provision of varied career pathways, facilities and commitment to delivering successful outcomes for our students. Most of all, the college is proud of its multi-generational connections and history within the local community.

Berwick College has been part of the community for more than 40 years.

Help for apprentices impacted by Covid-19 The Victorian Government is helping apprentices and trainees displaced by the coronavirus crisis to complete their apprenticeships and training and find work.

In May Minister for Training and Skills and Higher Education Gayle Tierney announced the Retrenched Apprentices and Trainees Program – a collaboration with the Apprenticeship Employment Network, the peak body for group training employers.

“During times like these apprentices and

trainees are among the most vulnerable when it comes to losing work.

That’s why we’re taking action to support them, so they are well placed as we start to recover from the virus,” Ms Tierney said.

“I urge all apprentices and trainees who have been impacted by coronavirus to take advantage of this program – to help them keep learning and return to work.”

The program has set up a register for retrenched apprentices and trainees. It will work

actively to encourage impacted apprentices and trainees to sign up and will then assist them to stay engaged with their training and to place them with appropriate employers.

Early indications show that more than 850 Victorian apprentices and trainees had their training contracts put on hold across March and April due to the impacts of the coronavirus crisis. It is expected that in the short-term there will be a growing pool of displaced apprentices and trainees.

By helping them to complete their apprenticeships or traineeships, the program will ensure participants are well placed to contribute to a skilled and productive workforce as Victoria moves towards a period of recovery.

Apprentices and trainees who register will

be supported by a project officer until they are placed with an employer.

Employers can also register at the site, making the process of matching them with displaced trainees and apprentices easier.

This initiative builds on the Government’s $4.7 million funding to extend the successful Apprenticeship Support Officer program, to continue to support apprentices.

A further $43.8 million investment was made to lift the quality of apprenticeships by supporting the introduction of independent assessments, updated learning materials and the reintroduction of trade papers The register is up and running at aen.org. au/outoftrade.

Simple lunchbox advice

bread then keep the filling separate so the child can put the sandwich together. For little ones, try drying off the salad ingredients and put the ham on the bread with the salad in the middle to prevent the bread from going soggy.

ITEM 2: This should be a piece of fresh fruit with edible skin to provide the child with fibre and important vitamins and minerals. It can be chopped up and put back together as a whole piece, or it can be chopped up into bitesized pieces.

ITEM 3: This item should be a calcium rich dairy food or equivalent such as milk, biscuits and cheese, yoghurt, custard or a smoothie.

ITEM 4: A lunchbox should include some sort

of vegetable. The last nutrition survey showed an astronomical number of adults who aren’t eating vegetables. Ones that go well in a lunchbox include carrots with hummus, green beans or cherry tomatoes.

ITEM 5: Parents should include a fifth lunchbox item if their child is doing an after-school activity. It can be something fun and sweet that doesn’t include a heap of sugar such as a homemade blueberry muffin, cereal slice, muesli slice or fruit balls.

DRINKS: It’s important to send your child to school with water.

EXTRA TIPS STICKER SYSTEM: For younger children it’s

a good idea to use stickers to indicate which lunchbox items should be eaten first. Quite often a parent will put a blueberry muffin in and the child will eat that first and it won’t sustain them. Put a gold sticker on what should be eaten first, put a red sticker on what should be eaten second, etc.

STORAGE: We’ve been doing it for decades, taking ham and chicken sandwiches to school and there have been no major breakouts of gastro. The bacteria build-up isn’t much in the first few hours. If you put the lunchbox down the back of the fridge and in the morning put ice in the thermos, the food stays nice and cool at least first break.

Making school lunchboxes is a task loathed by many parents.

Deciding what food to send a child to school with can also be confusing. There’s so much conflicting advice about nutrition, not to mention school bans on certain foods due to allergies.

But packing a school lunchbox doesn’t have to be laborious.

Kate Di Prima is an accredited practising dietitian and spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia.

Here, she gives simple advice on what food items should be included in school lunchboxes.

A school lunchbox should include 4-5 food items.

Quite often you see kids with these huge tackle boxes. Children, especially the preppies, will have no idea what to eat first. A lunchbox with four or five divisions is definitely big enough.

I think most parents hate making school lunches. It’s a good idea to get your children involved - keep it simple, do some prep the night before and talk to your kids about what they like.

THE MAIN ITEM: The ‘hero feature’ of the lunchbox. It can be last night’s leftovers, a wrap, salad, sandwiches, sushi, soup or pasta.

This item should contain the iron-rich protein whether it’s meat, legumes or tofu. Examples included tinned tuna, baked beans and chicken. This item sustains the child throughout the day and should be eaten first.

If you are packing a sandwich think about the fillings. Often a sandwich with tomato or tabbouleh comes back uneaten because it’s gone soggy.

When to start school Debate has always raged as to what age is the most appropriate for children to start school.

The essential elements parents feel are necessary for kids to make a smooth transition to primary school have been revealed in a study by online reading program ABC Reading Eggs.

The national survey of Australian parents of children aged 12 or under found that 76 per cent of parents feel social confidence, followed by verbal confidence (61 per cent), emotional maturity (58 per cent) and a degree of reading ability (40 per cent) are the top things that a child needs when it comes to school readiness.

The issue of a child’s social confidence was a major factor for 88 per cent of single parents and 79 per cent of Generation X-aged parents.

Meanwhile, prior reading ability was a big priority for 51 per cent of Millennial-aged parents and 48 per cent of full-time working mums and dads.

Just 8 per cent of parents felt that no child under the age of five should start school under any circumstances.

Psychologist Kim Shortridge says being socially confident and verbally articulate can certainly be helpful for children in kindergarten, as it can assist kids to feel more confident in finding and making friends.

She says if parents are unsure as to if a child is “emotionally mature” enough to start school there are several things to look out for.

“Children should be able to recognise their own emotions, and regulate those emotions wherever possible, so they’re not too dependent on an adult to help them,” she said.

“Therefore, a child should be able to know what emotions like frustration feels like and be able to implement strategies like taking deep breaths to get back in control. Crying readily, shouting, poor persistence

when things are tough, and tantrums, are all signs that a child might need some help honing their emotion regulation skills before they are ready to start kindergarten.”

Half of all parents surveyed (53 per cent) believe competency in core skills can determine whether a child is ready to start school or not. In addition to reading ability, 34 per cent of parents feel some prior writing skills are needed, and 25 per cent say a child should

have some basic maths knowledge.

ABC Reading Eggs literacy consultant Sara Leman, an experienced teacher and literacy specialist, believes it’s only natural for parents to be anxious about school readiness when it comes to ability.

“Understandably, many parents feel pressured to teach their child to read and write before starting school,” she said.

“However, these skills are not prerequi-

sites. Teachers are generally more interested in knowing that the child is socially, emotionally and physically mature enough to handle school life. Having said that, young children have an incredible capacity to learn new skills.

I would certainly encourage parents to harness their child’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm, and to introduce them to some basic literacy skills before starting school.”

According to Ms Leman research has shown that being literate is crucial for children’s social, emotional and academic well-being.

“We can encourage future success by teaching key literacy skills whilst children are engaged, motivated and wanting to learn,” said Ms Leman. “It’s very important to teach young children the five essential skills they need to become fluent and confident readers. These skills include phonics instruction, vocabulary building and comprehension.”

Ms Shortridge reminds parents that careful discussion is needed with a child’s pre-school educator to assess whether a child is “ready” for school.

“There are many children who are so thirsty for knowledge, that keeping them at home an extra year is not in their best interests,” she said.

“So, if a child seems almost ready for school, in the lead up to the start of school they might benefit from some extra time around sameaged peers [to practise their social and emotion regulation skills].

“Once school has started, parents can also support their little one by doing things like arranging play dates with classmates; getting to school early or staying back late to play in the playground; scaffolding them with some support [such as counselling sessions)] and being there to talk through the tough stuff when it happens.”

A pathway for every child

By Principal Vincent J Feeney At St Francis Xavier College students begin their journey at either our Berwick or Officer campuses where they complete Years 7 to 9.

During this time, students will develop an understanding of themselves as learners, deepen their literacy and numeracy skills and experience a broad curriculum which exposes them to a wide range of knowledge and skills.

The college offers a highly differentiated learning program which strives to meet each student at where they are on their learning journey and suitably challenge and support them to progress. We are focused on student achievement for all students in the broadest sense. Students with particular learning needs have their learning program appropriately adjusted and we purposefully and deliberately provide pathways and programs to stretch students who require extension and enrichment.

The college’s Digital Learning Program is innovative and forward thinking. Upon entering Year 7, students will be provided by the college their own personal learning device (laptop) to use. Our progressive program supports students with their learning and prepares them for the digital world beyond their time at the college.

Berwick and Officer campuses offer many opportunities for students to become active leaders in a wide range of extra curricula experiences.

The Year 7 Program provides a wide range of subjects through core curriculum. At Year 8 students are offered elective options which expand in Year 9.

Adventure in Utopian read

By Tania Phillips The man considered one of the foremost British novelists of his generation, David Mitchel, is back with his first full-length novel since The Bone Clocks in 2014.

The much-anticipated Utopia Avenue delves inside the British music industry the strangest British band you’ve never heard of Utopia Avenue.

Emerging from London’s psychedelic scene in 1967 and fronted by folksinger Elf Holloway, guitar demigod Jasper de Zoet and blues bassist Dean Moss, Utopia Avenue released only two LPs during its brief and blazing journey from the clubs of Soho and draughty ballrooms, to Top of the Pops and the cusp of chart success, to glory in Amsterdam, prison in Rome and a fateful American fortnight in the autumn of 1968.

Mitchell’s new novel tells the unexpurgated story of the band, of riots in the streets and revolutions in the head, a story of sex, drugs, thugs love and art - of the family we choose and the ones we don’t - of fame’s Faustian pact and stardom’s wobbly ladder.

For Mitchell, who’s novel Cloud Atlas made the Top 10 of the Guardian’s the ‘100 Best Books of the 21stCentury’, Utopia Avenue was a chance to ask and answer and ask himself some hefty questions and name drop some of the big names of music from Pink Floyd to Bob Dylan.

“Writing about music is like dancing about architecture’ - one famous maxim, attributed to dozens from Miles Davis to Laurie Anderson to Frank Zappa,” Mitchell, the man who has been compared to Tolstoy, Don DeLillo and Haruki Murakami said. ”My new novel Utopia Avenue grew out of the aphorism, too. Songs (mostly) use language, but music plugs directly into something below or above language.

“Can a novel made of words (and not fitted with built-in speakers or Bluetooth) explore the word-less mysteries of music, and music’s impact on people and the world? How? “”Is it possible to dance about architecture after all? Utopia Avenue is my rather hefty stab at an answer. Thank you in advance if you read it. I hope you enjoy the ride.”

Brownies with a healthy twist.

CHOC BROWNIES WITH HEALTHY TWIST

By Tania Phillips Looking for a sweet treat for the kids that has plenty of the good things?

On the surface these are tasty chocolate brownies but they are vegan friendly and hiding a secret ingredient - sweet potato.

SWEET POTATO CHOCOLATE BROWNIES Makes approx. 12 brownies Ingredients

· 400g sweet potato, peeled, diced Method 1. Steam or boil the sweet potato until cooked and soft then drain and mash. Preheat oven to 175C. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato, tahini, coconut oil, milk, cacao, salt and honey.

2. Sift together the dry ingredients and fold through into the sweet potato mixture. Pour the mix into a shallow small rectangle 12cm x 30cm baking tray. Place in the oven and bake

· 2/3 tahini · 1/4; cup coconut oil · 1/2 cup cacao · Pinch salt · 2/3 cup maple or honey · 2/3 cup coconut milk · 50g ground almonds · 100g cauliflower flour or gluten free plain flour · 1 tsp baking powder · 3 tsp cacao powder · 4 tbsp coconut oil · 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup · 1 cup coconut milk · Pinch salt Icing sugar, to serve (optional) for 25-30 minutes.

3. For the icing, combine all ingredients into a small saucepan and stir over a low heat to combine then remove from the heat and cool completely.

4. Once cooked, remove the brownie from the oven and allow to cool, then turn out and cut into squares, dust with icing sugar and pour over icing when ready to serve.

The brand new Dylan album.

Bob Dylan transcends the ages with new album

By Tania Phillips There are some musicians that transcend generations, that intrinsically become part of culture - whether you listen to them or not.

Bob Dylan is one of those musicians with a name that is instantly recognizable, that could be justifiably labelled legend.

Yet he is also someone not to content to just rest on his laurels even if, in this case, they include a Nobel Prize for Literature.

So, a new album by the man most people know just simply as Dylan is a big deal. The fact that it is first album of new tracks in eight years makes the 10-track Rough and Rowdy Ways, released around the world late last week, more of a musical event than an album.

It is the first Dylan album since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2016 by the Swedish Academy “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

And if you think that Dylan might be an anachronistic dinosaur no longer relevant in

berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

today’s music industry - his almost six-decade career has been continuing unabated in the past two decades.

He has released seven studio albums within the past 23-years; a creative span that also included the recording of an Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning composition, ‘Things Have Changed’, from the film Wonder Boys, in 2001; a worldwide best-selling memoir, Chronicles Vol. 1, which spent 19 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller List, in 2004 and was recently named the greatest rock memoir of all time by Rolling Stone.

He is the recipient of the Officier de la Legion d’honneur in 2013, Sweden’s Polar Music Award in 2000, a Doctorate from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and numerous other honors.

In his career Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records around the world.

ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS is the artist’s 39th studio album and is available now on Columbia Records through Sony Music Entertainment Australia.

Gardening Australia host Jerry Coleby Williams with his first Jackfruit. His tips for success can be applied in any suburban backyard.

Trial the backyard basics

By Tania Phillips Five Beginners Tips from Gardening Australia’s Jerry Coleby-Williams.

1. The most important thing is if you are going to get serious about gardening you need to test your soil to see if it’s acidic or alkaline.

Most soils would be acidic - probably a bit too acidic to suitably grow plants in the soil. So a PH test kit is probably not much more than $20 and it’s a very good investment in getting your soil in good condition. And the reason for that is getting the right soil is part of creating the right conditions for successful gardening. We grow mostly exotic plants that prefer fertile, compost rich, freely draining soil that has been ph adjusted. The process of PH adjustment is really straight forward it’s explained in the kit and once you’ve got that adjusted it means you get the full benefit of any additional manures or fertilizers or compost that you add to the soil.

2. If you are really unsure how much time and money you are going to put into it and it may only be a temporary project then I would suggest growing herbs in pots - start small. A lot of people in the normal scheme of things when I’m answering gardening questions get so excited they bite off more than they can chew and then something goes wrong and they panic and if they don’t deal with that before it gets to a crisis then they get depressed and sometimes they move into another hobby. So start small and simple and get more complicated as your experiment grows.

3. Everything is an experiment - don’t be upset if it doesn’t work out. I have mistakes, I have errors, I lose crops things do go wrong. What you should do is try and work out why it went wrong and then if you can avoid that happening the next time you become a gardener.

That’s all gardening skill is about - understanding how to drive a garden like a car, how to navigate safely from A to B to reach your destination and there will be all sorts of problems along the way but don’t just give up, just try and work out what went wrong and trying again - it is worthwhile trying a second time.

4. Experiment in propagating your own plants - just the simple act of taking cuttings, sewing 22 STAR NEWS

some seeds or planting something in the garden, it connects you with the seasons, it connects you with life outside and that connection with the outdoor world is really fantastic.

5. The last one is, think about what you can do for animals in the garden around you. It could be bees, it could be birds, it could be growing native plants in your garden. It could be anything that connects with biodiversity in general. I think that is such a fun thing. I’ve possibly discovered up to six new species of insect in my food garden in Wynnum. Wynnum is a very ordinary suburb - I just think it’s amazing that you can walk out into your garden and by growing food you can bring in something that hasn’t been described by science. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

Gifts from the garden

By Tania Phillips With people taking up gardening in record numbers during lockdown, Gardening Australia presenter and Horticulturalist Jerry Coleby Williams is a man very much in demand.

“I normally answer between eight to ten thousand gardening questions through my website and my Facebook page in a year - that’s doubled,” the Wynnum-based Britborn garden expert said - and it’s only June!

Demand is so high he admits he is having a little trouble keeping up - though with the popular ABC TV show about to go into a budget induced hiatus for a few weeks he will have time to catch up a bit.

He said it was ironic that the show wouldn’t be producing new episodes at a time when so many more people were both gardening and needing help - though the hiatus had been telegraphed by the channel before the pandemic and has become a fairly regular occurrence.

“There has been such an enormous uptake of gardening because people have had the time to do things in their garden they would normally not consider doing,” he explained.

“And there has been the concern about health, so people are growing food when they would normally not do that.

“We’ve got an enormous upswing in people who are seeking information about really basic things and some of the things are so basic that you forget how confronting gardening can be for some people. They just don’t understand what’s going on in some cases. A lot of the time if you can help somebody through a simple problem and they can see a result, that’s often what results in people becoming a fulltime gardener.

“It’s amazing how small tweaks at the beginning of somebodies gardening experience can actually change them into a gardener and alter their career.”

And since Jerry has been gardening from the age of four, initially training with the Royal Horticultural Society, before working at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and qualifying in curation, horticultural estate management, soft landscape design, horticultural berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

He admits he doesn’t have time to answer multifaceted questions or help with garden design but if you keep your request to less than 100 words - he will get to you as soon as he can - though probably not at his usual “within 24 hours” As well as giving advice, aimed particularly at those suddenly out of work and still trying to pay bills and feed a family, Jerry also opened up his own collection to people not able to source seedlings or seeds after the rush on garden centres which left them un-

“I was in the final stages of preparing for our annual open day,” he explained.

“Every year for the past 15 years I have been opening my garden for two days during the mother’s day weekend. It’s actually built a following - about 2000 people each year and generally I will have 2000 plants - that’s what the demand will be.

“During my working year as I lift and divide or save seed, I’ll put aside a surplus (some for myself ) but a surplus for other people for my open day.

“When the shops were unable to provide what people needed I was lucky enough to have 2250 food plants in pots. I had about 800 packets of home-saved vegetable seed.”

The plants were distributed in a socially distanced, safe way from Jerry’s driveway in limited number (the busiest day was about 10 people) but it made enough money for Jerry to turn a small profit and even make his usual donation to a charity - this year the Brisbane Bat Conservation and Rescue.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) recognises that the community has experienced significant challenges this year. The ATO’s support and guidance should make tax time easier, particularly where new circumstances mean that people are receiving a different type of income or able to claim new deductions.

Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat said the ATO has a range of different approaches to support taxpayers and the community through this tax time.

“We know many of our clients and their agents will have questions about how different types of income and expenses may affect their obligations this year. We’re helping to make sure people know how to get it right,” Ms Foat said.

“We have published information on our website to help you get it right when lodging this year, including the ‘Tax Time Essentials’ page which is a one stop shop for the things that are a little different this year and how they impact your return.

“If you’ve read through the information on our website and still have a question, search our online forum ‘ATO Community’. This forum is available 24 hours a day and we have a great community of expert members who respond to questions. In a lot of cases, there’s an ATO-endorsed response to help you. If not, post it yourself and we’ll have a response back to you as quick as we can.”

How has COVID-19 impacted work-related expenses?

“This tax time the ATO expects to see a substantial increase in people claiming deductions for working from home or for protective items required for work,” Ms Foat said.

The ATO has already announced a temporary ‘short-cut method’ that applies from 1 March 2020 to 30 June 2020. The short cut method makes it easier for the millions of Australians who have incurred some form of expense for working from home as a result of COVID-19. It covers all deductible expenses and can be used by multiple people working from home in the same house. People claiming their working from home expenses using the shortcut method, should include the amount at the ‘other work-related expenses’ question in your tax return and include ‘COVID-hourly rate’ as the description.

“If you use the shortcut method, all you need to do is keep a record of the hours you worked from home as evidence of your claim.

But it is all inclusive, meaning you can’t claim for any other working from home expenses,” Ms Foat said.

Taxpayers can still choose to use one of the other existing methods to calculate their expenses for working from home if they prefer.

A total of 762 businesses in Cardinia and 1663 businesses in Casey have received a $10,000 Business Support Fund grant.

The one-off payment towards operational costs such as salaries and utilities is part of the package which provides payments to eligible businesses which a wages bill below the payroll tax threshold.

Meanwhile, 139 further businesses in Cardinia and 261 in Casey, received full payroll tax roll refunds for the 2019/20 financial year to provide support, totalling $3,621,200 and $7,543,756 per each local government area.

The State Government said the announcements helped tip millions of dollars back in to the Bass electorate.

“The coronavirus pandemic has clearly had a devastating impact on lives and livelihoods – but we’re giving local businesses the support they need to survive,” Bass MP Jordan Crugnale said.

“We’re fighting for every job and every industry to ensure we get through to the other side.”

The Economic Survival Package also includes land tax deferrals for eligible small businesses, rent relief for commercial tenants, and the $500 million Working for Victoria fund to help workers who have lost their jobs find new opportunities.

More than 6,700 workers across the state have already started drawing pay cheques through Working for Victoria.

There are currently 101 jobs available in Bass Coast through the Working for Victoria fund.

“

As bleak and unsettling as some days have been over the past few months, gratitude is something I’ve clung to.”

Crown Metropol hotel. Below: Esther Lauaki has been in isolation at a Melbouirne hotel for 14 days; Auckland Airport; breakfast in isolation.

Pictures: ESTHER LAUAKI

How to survive hotel quarantine Star News reporter ESTHER LAUAKI recently returned from New Zealand and is under strict quarantine for 14 days at Melbourne’s Crown Metropol hotel. This is her story.

“Lucky!” - So I’ve been told when I tell people that I’m under quarantine at this five-star hotel.

Unfortunately, it’s not the glamorous existence we all think it is.

This week marks my sixth in complete isolation since March and my third round of 14 day quarantine periods.

My first was a voluntary home quarantine upon arrival from a trip overseas when Victoria was first gripped by COVID-19 and all returned travellers were put into mandatory isolation to slow the spread of the virus.

I flew to New Zealand in May for a family emergency, while the country was still in stage three lockdown, and was quarantined at The Grand Mercure hotel in Auckland.

And now, here we are.

Victoria’s chief health officer Brett Sutton estimates about 200 overseas travellers arrive at Melbourne Airport each day, with the number getting closer to 1,000 on some days.

I returned on a full flight from Auckland on June 17.

After a border security briefing, we were handed masks before walking a gauntlet of government agency checkpoints: fever checks, documents, customs, luggage and a light snack for the bus ride to a government managed hotel.

Most travellers were alone so we were processed in single file at reception before a security guard escorted us to the lift, then to our rooms down a silent corridor.

“See you in 14 days,” he said to me as I shut the door. berwicknews.starcommunity.com.au

The rules are straight forward.

You can not leave your room; three basic meals are delivered to your door each day and a nurse calls your room daily to check for developing symptoms.

On day three and day 11, everyone must have a compulsory COVID test which involves a very uncomfortable swab of your throat and nostrils.

There is no swanning around in the hotel spa, gym facilities, no meals at Crown’s upmarket bistros and no visitors.

The 2020 pandemic has made me quite the survivalist.

While I appreciated the breakfasts of rice bubbles, milk, yoghurt, piece of fruit and a fridge cold pastry, I was glad to top up on pantry staples of two minute cup noodles, tuna snack packs and some extras via an online Coles delivery.

UberEats and food deliveries are also allowed but can get pricey if you over indulge.

Keeping occupied with work, music, movies, video calls with friends and a token yoga session have been my saving graces while isolated.

Writing a gratitude diary was another helpful strategy suggested to me by the mental health nurse who is also on call for those feeling overwhelmed.

As bleak and unsettling as some days have been over the past few months, gratitude is something I’ve clung to get through.

Lucky isn’t the first word I would have used to describe my circumstance – but in many ways I am.

Catholic Education awards

By Brendan Rees Staff members from Catholic schools in Berwick and Narre Warren South have been recognised for their dedication with Diocese of Sale Catholic Education awards.

Mr Peter Collingwood, curriculum manager at St Francis Xavier College, Berwick campus, received a Spirit of Catholic Education Award for inspiring learning.

Deputy principal and head of the Berwick campus of St Francis Xavier, Jason Hibberd, said he nominated Mr Collingwood as he embodies both the nature and the spirit of the award.

“Mr Collingwood is always keen to innovate and provide our students with the most up-todate opportunities, particularly in the area of technology,” he said.

“He played a large part in the introduction of 3D printers into our technology area, and he facilitates the use of the local Casey Tech

School as a resource to complement existing curriculum and enhance experiential learning.”

Principal Dr Angela Kelly and teacher Judith Clarisse from St Michael’s Primary School in Berwick each received a Service Award in recognition of their 25 years or more of service to Australian Catholic education.

Miranda Ryan, education support officer at Trinity Primary School in Narre Warren South, was awarded the Daniel Ahern Bursary, which provides financial support for non-teaching staff training to become qualified educators.

Maria Kirkwood, director of Catholic education for the diocese of Sale, congratulated the award recipients.

“These awards recognise outstanding commitment to catholic education. The award winners reflect the aspirations of our Catholic communities to inspire faith and inspire learning. We are very proud of their commitment, achievements, and service,” she said.

A further seven staff members from Catholic schools across the Diocese of Sale also received awards.

Recipients of this year’s Catholic Education Awards will be recognised at a special Eucharist at St Joseph’s Church, Warragul, in term four.

For most important lifestyle choice, invest in good design Drake Design is a boutique building design company based in Beaconsfield. With $25,000 Homebuilder grants on offer from the Federal Government to help stimulate the building industry, designer Jake Wilson warns that one size doesn’t necessarily fit all.

Good design shouldn’t feel like a luxury, yet our society seems increasingly accepting of mediocrity when it comes to housing. A home is most often the largest and most important investment a person will ever make, so why conform to the narrow selection of ‘off-theshelf’ products mass produced by volume builders? With the advent of the $25,000 government Homebuilder grant, Drake Design truly believe the right choice of designer will

EVERY THURSDAY

help every client maximise the value of their project and it all starts now.

Pairing yourself with the right designer is a short term investment for long lasting gains.

A good designer has the ability to provide you with a tailor made design experience, driven by great communication, quality expertise and a genuine desire to bring you the home of your dreams. Whilst volume builders clearly serve a need at current, their success as a business relies on turning over clients in bulk quantities. With a boutique custom designer like Drake Design, the number of projects running at any given time is vastly lower so that a client isn’t just another number in the system but a real person with real wants and

needs from their future home.

This level of care and individual service ensures that you will get the most out of your home design and, in term, your home – quality planning means a quality result. Only with a custom designer will even the most fundamental architectural considerations relating to your individual site and style of home be made; orientation, solar access, wind paths, rainfall - making your home far cheaper, easier, cleaner and more efficient to run for years to come. And only with a custom designer can you design a home that caters to your specific needs of living rather than a ‘one size fits all’ model. Every Australian deserves a home that

speaks to their personal needs both functionally and visually, and the right designer will help to realise a space that is designed to fit and enhance how you want to live.

Taking the time to find the right designer and spending that little bit extra on their services cannot be valued highly enough. There is a level of quality, efficiency and value in a home that can only be achieved during the design and planning process, and the right designer is absolutely critical to this. The end result of a home depends on the designer at the very start, and will truly prove to be your greatest investment when building a new home or renovation.

SPORT

She’ll be apples for Tokyo

By Greg Campbell

Laetisha Scanlan is a picture of concentration as she picks off the targets. against New Zealand’s Natalie Rooney to reach the final.

In the final, which doubled as her 28th birthday, Scanlan opened a healthy three-target lead but it evaporated in the second half of the 50-shot final as Northern Ireland’s Kirsty Barr levelled the scores with Scanlan needing to hit her last target to win.

When the target exploded in a cloud of pink, Scanlan celebrated with a triple fistpump while ‘Team Teash’ roared and celebrated wildly in the grandstand.

“The pressure was indescribable,” she recalled.

“To have all my friends and family there and to be shooting off against a good friend in Nat Rooney, the New Zealander, I just felt sick.

“I was so glad I won, not so much for me as an individual, but probably more for my family and friends because I felt like I had the weight of the world on me and I’m glad when it counted that I could perform and give that to them.”

While Scanlan has been a top line international trap athlete for over 10 years, the course of her life could have taken a very different direction after competing at her first international championship as a junior in 2007 while in Year 12 at Haileybury in Keysborough.

“I came dead last,” she said.

“It was probably the best thing that could ever happened to me. It made me work harder and I guess lit a fire to do better. If I’d given up and said it was too hard, then I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Instead, she stuck at it and captured her first senior World Cup title in 2013 in Al Ain. “It proved to myself that I was capable and worthy of being on the team,” she said.

“That started a really exciting journey for me because I had my own self-belief.”

Her journey took her to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, where she was the top qualifier but finished fifth behind her gold medal-winning Australian team-mate, Catherine Skinner.

“I just didn’t perform high enough to get myself into the medal opportunities,” she said.

This year’s Tokyo Olympic selection trial was always going to be a high pressure event

with Skinner, Scanlan and fellow Victorian Penny Smith contesting the two available selection positions.

Smith’s consistency earned her the automatic team selection position, leaving Scanlan and Skinner duelling for the single remaining spot “Going into the last selection event I knew it was going to be tough,” Scanlan said.

“We have such depth in our women trap shooters. It’s never going to be an easy run.

It’s never ever going to be a free card into the Olympic team. I put a lot of pressure on myself and I’ve learned that’s probably not the best thing to do.

“I’m so grateful that the selectors have chosen me and given me the opportunity to go to Tokyo, and I really hope that I can perform at my best because I know my best is medalworthy.

“Penny shot an amazing selection series and all credit goes to her. She definitely deserved the first spot. She made that a very, very easy decision. But the second spot was always going to be difficult and always going to be at the discretion of a panel.”

The Tokyo Olympics also sees the introduction of the mixed pairs, where Scanlan is likely to be partnered with James Willett, while Smith is destined to be shooting alongside NSW’s Tom Grice.

“I’ve always been jealous of the swimmers that have so many opportunities to compete at the Olympics,” she said.

“It was so hard going into Rio, knowing you had one opportunity and that was it for the next four years.

“It’s (the mixed pairs) is such a great opportunity for us as Australians to win medals.

Penny and Gricey and myself and James, we’re world class. We’ve both won world championships, so I think we are all going to go in quite favourable with the other teams.”

Scanlan said the postponement of the 2020 Olympics will help her and Willett develop a strong pairs partnership.

“I think chemistry is quite important,” she said.

Scanlan won gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

“In an individual event I don’t really care if anyone hits or misses a target next to me. (But) I do care if James hits or misses a target.

“As we have shot more together internationally, we kind of know how each other rolls now. We’re very Yin and Yang. James and I are very different shooters and different personalities but somehow, we gel perfectly together.”

And then there is the silent understanding when at the height of competition.

“There’s not a lot of chat (on the range).

There is just the look,” she said with a laugh.

Scanlan believes her Rio Games experience will be hugely beneficial for Tokyo.

“I was a baby. I was so fresh, and I went in there quite naive and it’s taken me three to four years after Rio to realise that I have developed a lot as a shooter and I’ve grown up,” she admitted.

“That’s why I’m looking forward to Tokyo so much now, because I know what Rio was, I know how I performed, I know why I did this, and I know why I did that.

“Now coming into Tokyo, I have so much knowledge and so much experience and I think it can only benefit me positively.”

Keen observers will be hoping she picks off targets as they soar across the Tokyo Olympic range, just as easy as plucking apples off a tree.

Picking and packing apples alongside her dad in a Tynong orchard - 66 kilometres south east of Melbourne’s CBD - is not where one would typically expect to find a three-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist preparing for her second Olympic Games.

But for Australian Olympic women’s trap shooter Laetisha Scanlan, it’s all part of the plan to rise to the medal podium at the Tokyo Olympics.

With the Olympics postponed by 12 months, the closest Scanlan will get to Japan at present is via a Fuji apple - named after Japan’s sacred mountain, Mount Fuji.

Apple picking became a necessity after her part-time job at a dry cleaning business in Seddon was suspended because of Covid-19.

After all, there is a mortgage to pay after she and her partner Sam Waters bought a three bedroom home in Emerald earlier this month.

But part-time work, either picking apples or operating the dry cleaning front desk, has become part of her life to ensure that trap shooting doesn’t become all-consuming.

The Berwick resident has also been assisting Olympians Russell and Lauryn Mark with their corporate shooting business but has reduced her hours after recognising there was no escape from the sport, having to be at the shooting range when she wasn’t training or competing.

“I realised, at the start of last year, that I needed more balance in my life so it wasn’t so shooting-orientated,” she explained.

“And I think the perfect thing to do was to have a part-time job that has no relationship with the sport so you can switch off for a bit. I think it keeps you more mentally fresh, rather than thinking about shooting 24/7.

“It’s one of those sports where it gives you the most amazing opportunities to travel and see the world and compete at an elite level. But I think I realised after Rio that I needed a little more balance.”

Even now, with social restrictions being eased and ranges opening for use, Scanlan is taking a slow run-up to the Tokyo Games next year to ensure she peaks at the right time and doesn’t burn out prior to the competition.

With 13 years of international experience, both as a senior and junior trap athlete, Scanlan knows what it will take to reach her ultimate goal of an Olympic gold medal.

But shooting is a fickle, precision sport where the same six finalists could shoot three events on the same day and produce a string of different winners.

“Sometimes, it’s just one target,” she said knowingly after personally experiencing the impact of one shot.

Having won a gold medal with Stacy Roiall in the women’s pairs at the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games and winning her first ever World Cup gold medals in 2013 and 2014, Scanlan attended the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games and thought she was eliminated at the end of the qualifying rounds until Canadian Susan Nattrass capitulated at the end of her final 25 targets.

Scanlan qualified for the final after a shootoff against India’s Shreyasi Singh, before winning the semi-final round and then the gold medal match.

“I went in there thinking I’ve got nothing to lose. I’m going to give it my all and, being the underdog, I managed to win the final,” Scanlan said.

Then, four years later at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, Scanlan had to survive another qualifying round shoot-off

SPORT The WGCA is calling on its clubs and stakeholders to have their say in its future direction. 146041 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Cricket’s future direction By sports editor Russell Bennett The future of the West Gippsland Cricket Association has been a hot topic in local cricketing circles for quite some time now, and key stakeholders are working on a plan for the future direction of the competition.

The WGCA has been working in conjunction with the Cardinia Shire, Cricket Victoria, and GippSport - the Gippsland Regional Sports Assembly - over recent months to review its strategic direction.

As part of that process, the WGCA’s clubs

were approached by association executives to gauge their opinions, and an online survey was established.

The clubs’ responses to that survey have been reviewed independently by GippSport, and it’s understood a workshop will be held with GippSport to explore those responses.

In the survey, clubs were asked to rank from least to most important - the following factors when considering the WGCA’s future success: financial sustainability, strong governance and decision-making, an increase in participation, clear policies and procedures,

attendance from all clubs at meetings, the standard of the competition, effective communication, and a positive club and/or association culture.

The option of changing the name of the competition to better reflect where its member clubs are located, geographically, was even floated.

Many of the WGCA’s current clubs are in the City of Casey, for example.

A range of options for effective communication between clubs and the association was also tabled - everything from phone calls, to emails, to regular meetings, to social media (Facebook) messages and posts.

The survey also asked clubs about the ways in which the WGCA could better support clubs in their efforts to increase participation numbers and improve player retention - seen as the biggest issue currently facing clubs, not only across the competition but right across the country.

Among the options floated in the survey were: funding or discounts for clubs to reduce costs, clinics or camps for player skill development, coaching education or mentoring programs, promotion of the game in the region, the capping of player payments, and even a paid administration service to reduce the workload of club volunteers.

Crucially, clubs were also asked about their stance on the current divisional structure within the WGCA, and if it’s working effectively for seniors and juniors.

Questions on how the WGCA can improve its decision-making as an association, and also what should be prioritised should Covid-19 impact the 2020/21 season, were also asked.

No doubt the survey and improved dialogue between the clubs and association is the first step on a long path for the association to improve.

It’s understood that there’s a real desire to attract a wider range of administrators throughout the WGCA who could help in better sharing the decision-making load. In turn, a wider range of voices would play a part in the association thinking outside the square.

WGCA president Bob Taylor said he welcomed the clubs’ opinions on the competition’s future direction.

“I’m happy for clubs to put forward their opinions - it’s the clubs that run the league, not the board of management,” he said.

“Not everyone will be happy with all of it, but in the long run we feel it (this discussion) will be a lot better for cricket.

“The clubs have done their surveys, and we’ll take it from there.

“We’ll know more after our meeting with GippSport later this month.”

Devon Meadows Cricket Club president Mick Floyd has put his name to a series of ideas that will no doubt generate plenty of healthy discussion moving forward.

“The league needs to find relevance to survive,” he explained.

“We have a lot of good cricketers and strong clubs with long histories in their towns.

“We’re in a growth area with lots of young families, we have a good-quality competition played on excellent grounds with great facilities, generally speaking.

“But it’s almost like it’s a secret - there’s no real buzz or excitement surrounding it.”

A range of ideas put forward by Floyd echo those that are being discussed throughout the association.

“Change the name to something more relevant,” he said.

“The West Gippsland Cricket Association doesn’t resonate, as no one in the region associates it with West Gippsland.

“With a new name, should be a modern logo.”

Floyd also suggested the association employs a qualified individual to manage its communications and social media channels - to better promote the league, its clubs, and players.

“If we’re not excited by our own competition, no one outside of it will be.”

He also suggested, given the number of second XI sides in the division, that ‘Sub-District’ should be scrapped and replaced by B Grade.

Some of Floyd’s other ideas include: Umpires grading clubs on their behaviour, with the club with the best average score over the season awarded the ‘Spirit of Cricket’ award.

Restricting one day games for B Grade and below to 35 overs per side.

Scrapping one day games for juniors in favour of T20 games.

The association prioritising the increase of junior numbers at club level.

Not fixturing junior cricket in either the last round before Christmas, or the first round back.

Playing the under-10s and under-14s on Friday nights, and the under-12s and under-16s on Saturday mornings in order to give clubs a better opportunity to fill each age group.

Restricting the Twenty20 Kookaburra Cup to sides in the Premier grade, with a separate T20 tournament for District sides.

Increasing the prizemoney to $2000 for the winning side, and $500 for the runners-up.

Scrapping the percentage on the ladders altogether and reinstating bonus points to reincentivise the continuation of play once a first innings result is achieved in a two-day game.

Scrapping the league presentation night, but reinstating a vote count night during the finals - either during semi-final or grand final week - and presenting player of the year medals, Country Week, and other awards in that function.

Better promoting senior Country Week (should it continue) as a level of cricket to aspire towards, and better recognising the players involved.

Houdini’s great escape!

By Peter Quilty It was no illusion... Houdini Boy pulled off an amazing ‘escape act’ in the Trio’s Winter Cup final (over 520 metres) at Cranbourne on Saturday night.

Trained by Kelvyn Greenough, Houdini Boy was last out of the traps from Box 4 but showed great track sense to rail through on the first turn.

And once he ‘unlocked the handcuffs’ going down the back straight, onlookers could see this was going to be no stunt.

Houdini Boy ($4.10) came with a withering finishing burst to claim the $20,000 first prize, defeating tearaway leader Percy’s Magic ($3.70) by just over two-and-a-half lengths, with Aston Gwen ($4.80) a further 3.2 lengths away third in 29.78 seconds.

He’s now won four races from seven starts, and Greenough is quickly eyeing a staying career for the March 2018 Zambora Brockie x Pechey dog.

Greenough has previously stated that Houdini Boy “is a bit of a waste over the sprint”, and is “hoping we can get him over more ground because he is very strong”.

It was a night to remember for Greenough as his potential superstar It’s A Blaze broke the 520-metre track record with a scintillating 29.54-second performance in the $7500-tothe-winner GRV Vic Bred Maiden Series final.

Meanwhile, in a fantastic card of racing, the $5000-to-the-winner Track Star (over 311 metres) was taken out by track specialist Why Not Bazzar in 17.68 seconds. It was his 25th win from 72 starts over 311 metres at Cranbourne.

Trained by Greg Carter, Why Not Bazzar (March ‘16 Fernando Bale x Why Not Bev) has now won a total of 34 races from 95 starts.

Amazingly, it was his first win from Box 4.

Like a Rolling Stone

By Phil Weir A maiden final at Ballarat earlier this month turned the emotions of Pearcedale greyhound trainer Karen Pitt.

After the recent passing of Karen Leek and ‘dear friend’ Tony McGrath, Pitt’s 20-month-old dog Rolling Stone gave her good reason to smile again when making it two from two to start off his career in style.

“It certainly put life in perspective,” Pitt said of the loss of two industry legends.

Having bred, owned and trained Rolling Stone, it was impossible for Pitt not to be delighted by her greyhound’s emphatic three-and-a-half length win in the final.

“It was a very exciting and a proud moment for sure,” she said.

So, obviously the first matter to deal with - the name; Rolling Stone. Is Pitt a fan of the band? The magazine? The song? Not quite.

It’s a reference to his sire, Jagger Swagger.

Pitt said: “I think it suits his personality. He knows I spoil him a bit. He swaggers around the kennels... certainly thinks he’s a rock star.

“We’re taking our time with him, just venturing around the country circuit for a while. He’s still learning and pretty inexperienced and had never really been against other dogs before his heat, so I knew he would learn a lot from his first race.

“We trained Rolling Stone’s sire, Jagger Swagger, towards the end of his career and stood him at stud.”

It could be said the old adage about rolling stones gathering no moss might also be applicable - Pitt is on-the-go constantly as a mum to a four-year-old and, when not at the kennels, a primary school teacher, which provides extra racing-related inspiration.

“The students love hearing about the dogs and are very helpful when it comes to making pet names for a new litter of puppies,” she said.

Pitt, partner of accomplished greyhound trainer Wayne Vassallo, traces her love of the dogs to her father.

“My late father Fred was the reason I am 38 STAR NEWS

He’s setting the track ablaze at Cranbourne

By Molly Haines It’s A Blaze did a great thing, well, a brilliant thing on Saturday - breaking Cranbourne’s 520-metre track record in the GRV Vic Bred Maiden Final, just his second career start.

Previously held by Pop The Cork, the Cranbourne track record now stands at 29.541 seconds after It’s A Blaze’s astonishing performance.

Amazingly, this wasn’t the first time he broke the track record either. He first did so, unofficially, in May during a clearance trial to use blinkers, stopping the clock in a time of 29.578 seconds.

“It wasn’t a surprise he broke the track record because he can run, but you never expect a track record,” trainer Kel Greenough, who admits he has never raced a greyhound with blinkers on before, and if it wasn’t for his daughter suggesting blinkers he may not have tried in the first place.

“He had never fought, but he did tend to run with other dogs rather than going past them,” Greenough said.

Greg Sprod is the owner and breeder of It’s A Blaze, who is the son of Fernando Bale and It’s A Fling.

It’s A Blaze picked up the $7500 first prize for his efforts on Saturday night at Cranbourne.

Karen Pitt is enjoying the journey with her greyhound, Rolling Stone. involved with greyhounds,” she said.

“It was a passion and a very strong bond we shared.

“I would sit and listen for hours to his stories about his race dogs, he was my idol.

“He was a trainer, himself, and was also in charge of the Wollongong track when it was operational.

“We raced a couple of dogs as a family with some success when I was growing up and I’ve been involved ever since. I know he would be proud that I am still involved in the industry he cared so much about. I know he’s up there cheering them home.”

It’s A Blaze was simply on fire at Cranbourne, setting a new track record.
