Halloween tradition builds

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Film-maker Nick Kozakis hopes Halloween celebrations in Australia reach the same “rich and magical” levels as the US. Growing up in the early 1990’s, Kozakis was one of the few kids in Noble Park to dress up and roam as a ghost during the festive event.

“I grew up with US cinema. Halloween was one of my favourite films of all time.“ However, people struggled to tune into the ‘trick-or-treat’ concept.

Some households that he visited gave cash for him to buy his own candy.

Kozakis enjoys seeing more people embrace the event these days. Though he wishes it was even more lavish locally.

“It’s fun to see the creativity – that’s the most fun part about it.

“To see the make-up and costumes and how it opens up the community a bit more.”

Storm blow out

By Shelby Brooks Thousands of people across Cardinia woke in the dark on Friday 29 October as strong winds caused severe damage and power outages across the South East.

Some homes were without power for days.

Needing to help his community through the horror morning, Emerald’s SES controller Ben Owen was called away from his family home in Cockatoo around 6am.

He was on the way to the unit headquarters when he got a call from his wife he’ll never forget.

A huge pine tree had fallen on their house, trapping his wife and two daughters inside.

Ben was one of hundreds of people requesting help from SES and CFA units across the area Friday morning.

In Berwick, a man was taken to hospital after being hit by a falling tree brance on

Gloucester Avenue and Berwick Lodge Primary School was among those damaged.

Pakenham SES media officer Shayne Honey said it was the busiest few days the unit had seen in a few years.

IN BRIEF

Top of his class

By Parker Mckenzie A Cranbourne principal has taken out a top prize at the 2021 Victorian Education Excellence Awards.

Cranbourne East Primary School principal Garry Rolfe won the Outstanding Primary Principal award after dedicating a large part of his career to education in the south-east and Casey areas.

He has been principal of Cranbourne East Primary since 2010 and has worked closely with the community since the early planning stages of the school.

Mr Rolfe said he was overwhelmed when he learnt about the award.

“Probably every principal would say it’s been a really rough two years. At Cranbourne East Primary School we have well over 1100 children and 128 staff and that equates to over 800 families,” Mr Rolfe said.

“Trying to keep the teaching and learning programs going while being onsite, then switching to remote learning and looking after the wellbeing of students, our families and our staff has been tricky at times.”

Mr Rolfe was inspired to enter education because of the impact a teacher had on his early life.

“I was inspired by a teacher I had in year 4 when I went through the British education system. I had a maths teacher who would go out of his way to explain everything in a warm, nurturing and caring approach,” he said.

“I really enjoyed maths and science because of this as a student.” he said.

Mr Rolfe said he has taken this approach into his own classrooms and school.

“Two things I really push at Cranbourne East Primary is that no child will miss out on opportunities, whether that is swimming camps or having lunches everyday,“ Mr Rolfe said.

“A message I send my staff is to treat each individual child like they are the most important child in the school.“ He believes winning the Outstanding Primary Principal award wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the school com-

Police were out in force over Melbourne Cup weekend.

Police arrest multiple drink drivers Casey highway patrol arrested three drink drivers in the early hours of Sunday 31 October.

A 28-year-old man was intercepted by police at midnight on Fizgerald Road in Hallam.

His driver’s licence was suspended for 12 months and his vehicle impounded after his breath test returned a reading of 0.123 blood alcohol concentration (BAC), over two times the legal limit.

He will attend court at a later date for drink driving.

At 2am, a 25-year-old man from Officer was pulled over by police on Princes Highway in Hallam.

His license was suspended for six months and he was issued a $545 infringement notice after his breath test returned a reading of 0.080 BAC. At 3.20am a 22-year-old Hampton Park man was stopped by police on Stoneleigh Road in Cranbourne North driving on a suspended learner’s permit with a BAC of 0.051.

He will attend court in the future for suspended driving and drink driving.

Boys arrested Garry Rolfe won the award for Outstanding Primary Principal. munity at Cranbourne East Primary School.

“I really believe learning needs to be a combination of fun along with education,“ Mr Rolfe said.

“One thing I’d really like to highlight is the support I get from not only the school community, but from my leadership team and all our teachers and staff who support me in my job.”

had made the hard work of distance learning worth it according to Mr Rolfe.

“It’s good to see children around again and hearing their voices in the playgrounds and the learning spaces,” he said.

“I know the kids have really missed their friends, their teachers and the staff around the school. There is just so much excitement and enthusiasm to be back.” he said.

Six boys as young as 12 have been charged over robberies in Dandenong on the afternoon of Sunday 31 October.

A 14-year-old and 13-year-old from Cranbourne, a 12-year-old from Cranbourne East, a 14-year-old from Pakenham, a 15-year-old from Wantirna and a 14-year-old from Point Cook were charged by Greater Dandenong CIU detectives.

They will each face two counts of robbery and shop theft.

All were bailed to appear at a childrens’ court at a later date.

IBAC hearing told Labor Party was uncooperative

By Cam Lucadou-Wells The Labor Party’s Victorian division has refused to cooperate with an IBAC branchstacking inquiry, says the inquiry’s Counsel Assisting.

Chris Carr told the Operation Watts inquiry on 1 November that solicitors for the ALP state branch had declined to provide a requested statement addressing “various issues”.

These included some information discovered by former Premier Steve Bracks and ex-federal Minister Jenny Macklin during an internal report on branch-stacking in 2020.

The Bracks-Macklin report “made the point that it is clear that the problems of branch stacking go beyond a certain group of people operating in isolation from the rest of the party”.

“Mr Bracks and Ms Macklin referred to this (IBAC) investigation, recognised its importance and assured members of the ALP that the branch will assist with enquiries where it is requested,” Mr Carr said.

Solicitors for IBAC were pursuing the issue, he said. If necessary, more witnesses would be summonsed to the hearings to give evidence.

Counsel Assisting IBAC, Chris Carr. says Labor’s state branch has declined a request for information.

“It is to be hoped that the Victorian Branch of the ALP will cooperate by providing such information voluntarily.”

The ongoing hearings from 11 October have called witnesses admitting to branch-

stacking activities including federal Holt MP Anthony Byrne and state MP Adem Somyurek’s former electorate officer Adam Sullivan.

During the inquiry, Narre Warren North MP and factional ally Luke Donnellan resigned from State Cabinet after being outed for paying for other ALP members’ renewals and membership fees.

On 1 and 3 November, the inquiry has examined electorate officers for state MP and former Minister Marlene Kairouz.

Mr Carr, in his opening statement on 11 October, said the inquiry would explore “serious corrupt conduct by Victorian public officers“.

This included MPs directing their taxpayer-funded staff to perform party-political work during work hours.

It also investigates state funding to community associations being misused for partypolitical activity.

Among the listed groups of interest is the Springvale-based Cambodian Association.

Mr Carr described branch-stacking as “organising people to join a political party, which they have little genuine interest in joining”.

“Of course, few reluctant members would part with their money to join, so an integral aspect of branch-stacking is the payment of membership fees by politicians, aspiring politicians, their associates, or those seeking to obtain influence.”

Mr Byrne confirmed the use of publicpaid electorate officers and ministerial staff being used for factional activities during work time, such as filling in blank membership ballots.

Some staff were employed at Mr Byrne’s office at the request of Mr Somyurek and never showed up for work for months, Mr Byrne alleged.

Mr Byrne portrayed himself as someone who tried to “de-escalate“ branch-stacking in the South East. Meanwhile, Mr Somyurek was “ramping up“ branch-stacking in recent years, Mr Byrne told the inquiry.

“As Adem was getting more and more power, it was almost becoming an existential threat for the Labor Party.”

Mr Somyurek, through his lawyer, asserted in cross-examination that it was Mr Byrne that “ran the show“.

The hearing was expected to run for five weeks.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with BATS theatre director Michelle Zintschenko

Tell us a fun fact about yourself!

I am an avid curler - as in the Winter sport, not my hair.

What are you most passionate about?

Making sure I live life to the fullest.

What would your last meal be?

Something with eggplant. Like actual eggplant not the emoji. Braised eggplant or eggplant Parma.

THREE … ways to storm proof your house

1

Protect your windows One of the most common ways a storm damages a house is breaking glass inside window frames. When this happens strong winds can enter the household and cause further damage. To prevent this, you can strengthen windows using awnings, shutters or screens.

2

Check your fences Fences can be easily damaged by storms and strong winds. Ensure your fences are properly secured into the ground and sturdy. If they aren’t, call a professional to fix them to ensure they aren’t blown away or cause damage to other parts of your house.

3

Secure your furnishings Strong winds and storms can turn even the most innocent item into a high speed projectile. Objects carried at high speeds by wind can be seriously dangerous to people and animals. If there is a storm warning, clear outside items away from your doors and windows to ensure they aren’t damaged by flying objects.

What was your most memorable moment?

There are so many but probably the first time I stood in Times Square.

What was your favourite subject in school?

Drama.

What event past or present would you like to witness?

Seeing the USA win gold for curling at the 2018 Winter Olympics. It’s not the same on television.

Which six dinner guests, dead or alive, would you invite to dinner?

Alan Cumming, Morrissey, Mariska Hargitay, Enid Blyton, Agatha Christie and Angela Lansbury.

What are you currently listening to?

The cast recording of The Other Josh Cohen.

It’s my uplifting, inspiring go to soundtrack and I am revisiting it on repeat at the moment.

Have you had a pet that has made an impact on your life?

Pish was a cat that arrived when I didn’t know I

Where is your dream holiday destination?

I never tire of New York but the Maldives does look enticing.

What were you like as a kid?

Painfully shy.

What is your favourite colour and why?

Blue. So many shades it’s not as severe as wearing black.

The only thing I’ve ever cooked for another human - a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich.

Horror maker on a high

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Noble Park North film director’s long love of horror lives large in his most recent ARIAnominated music video.

Nick Kozakis, who grew up on a terrifying watch-list of The Exorcist and the Halloween series, received his third consecutive ARIA nomination for the recent Tones and I clip Won’t Sleep.

The elaborately staged video pays playful homage to popular horror movies as well as Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

“We found that medium between a bit scary but not too scary – so as to not alienate children.

Kozakis, co-director Liam Kelly and producer Tim Whiting staged the spectacular at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda.

With more than 100 cast and crew, it was the biggest, most expensive clip made in Australia, he says. Forty crew worked on the unique ‘second-skin’ masks and make-up.

“As a horror enthusiast, it was fun and it was very stressful. We shot over two days, and there was not a single weak link.

“The idea is to keep every frame as fresh as possible, to push different scenes, try different shot types.”

Kozakis’s collaboration with homegrown hit Tones and I began with a last-minute call-up to film Dance Monkey two years ago.

He jumped on board, sourced senior citizens’ costumes and a leafblower from a Noble Park op shop and filmed the clip in a day.

That became a “surprise global sensation”, with 1.7 billion views on YouTube and contacts with Sony, Warner Music and US-based Electra Records.

“It propelled us to the next level.”

Kozakis and his company Visible Studios’ first feature film Plague screened at Cannes Film Festival in 2015, and won awards includ-

ing ‘most popular’ at Monsterfest.

His upcoming second feature In God’s Care is another look on the dark side. It’s inspired by true and tragic tales of botched exorcisms on people that may have had mental illnesses.

“It’s dealing with the themes of isolation so it felt like the right time to do this.

With as yet unannounced stellar cast and a location in Daylesford, Kozakis describes it as a “very big leap that we’re excited to undertake”.

Born in Dandenong Hospital and raised in Noble Park, Kozakis has kept nearby to his parents by buying a home in Noble Park North.

He said he drew from the rich cultural diversity in his neighbourhood and schools Heatherhill Primary and St Joseph’s Primary, as well as a copious diet of horror movies from a young age. His memories of watching The Exorcist were that he was “extremely frightened” but also inspired to understand film.

As a child, he re-enacted scenes in local parks and back streets. At a point he realised his destiny was behind the camera not in front of it.

He played around with a video camera, experimented with make-up as he produced zombie flicks in parks and local homes.

Starting work as a graphic designer, he could never shake loose the bug. He enrolled in a film course at Swinburne Uni. “Doing things was the best way to go ahead.

I’d always try to go above my comfort level.

“Failures were more beneficial than successes. I’d identify what went wrong and improve on the next production.

“I’m never satisfied.”

Film director Nick Kozakis has backed up with Tones and I for a third consecutive ARIA nomination.

Palliative care petition

LENSCAPE

By Danielle Kutchel A petition to build a new home for a palliative care provider has gained close to 1000 signatures.

The petition, which was started in support of Palliative Care South East (PCSE) in August, has more than 800 signatures.

Signers are calling for increased Federal government funding to put towards a new purpose-built home for the service at 80 Victor Crescent, Narre Warren.

Construction commenced earlier this month. PCSE currently serves the local government areas of Casey, Cardinia, Greater Dandenong and Kingston and has been co-located with Monash Health in Cranbourne for 30 years. More than half of the service’s clients come from Casey.

Chief executive officer Kelly Rogerson said the petition was the suggestion of La Trobe MP Jason Wood to gauge the level of support within the community – and with the petition passing its 500-signature target, she said now was the time for action from the government.

“What we really need now is the petition to be acted upon by the Commonwealth funders, led by Mr Wood,” she said.

“Anyone who has accessed palliative care services will testify to the great levels of support that can be provided.

“Anyone who has a life-limiting illness faces significant challenges. PCSE help. We are a free service that supports people to live well despite their illness and we support them to manage symptoms and die in their place of choice.”

Mr Wood said he was “fighting tooth and nail” for the funding required.

Two Narre Warren SES volunteers have had a rash of animal rescue calls over the last month, proving enterprising animals can find their way into the tightest of spots.

Bryce Wickham and Amy MacDonald have responded to requests for assistance for a number of furry and feathered fellow Victorians who have found themselves trapped.

Earlier this month at a property in Clyde North, owners reported what sounded like a rat inside their wall.

On arrival, the crew of two volunteers performed an inspection of roof tiles, vents and damaged pipes as they had been trained to do.

Finding no entry points to the newly-built property, the volunteers came up empty but the residents pointed them to the laundry, where they said the sound could still be heard.

With the owners’ permission, the volunteers drilled a hole in the cavity, feeding through a borescope inspection camera which had been donated by a member of the public.

Using the scope, they confirmed it was actually a small bird.

Having used a plaster saw to make a small incision, the bird moved towards the light and the volunteers, using an old towel, put the bird in a cage and released it outside, where it flew away to the nearby wetlands.

On 11 October in Narre Warren South, an elderly couple was alarmed to hear screech-

Amy MacDonald of Narre Warren SES rescuing wildlife.

Picture: SUPPLIED ing and yelling from below decking installed along an exterior wall. Having called the local council, they were advised to ring VICSES. The couple directed the volunteers to the spot from where they thought they could hear a sound.

Using a torch and and the trusty inspection camera, Amy and Bryce found five kittens abandoned by their mother.

The residents agreed to let the volunteers unscrew the decking to release the kittens before reassembling the decking. The volunteers brought the litter to the local vet to be fostered.

On Tuesday 19 October in Cranbourne, a house cat became trapped in a wall cavity between two pillars.

The intrepid feline had been crawling through an old air-conditioning vent, becoming stuck when an old cloth dropped over the cavity as the kitty passed through.

This time, the volunteers tried to coach the cat standing up so they could grab it by using toys and a sandbag.

Having had little success, the concerned owners agreed to let the volunteers make the cavity a little larger, so they could reach in and pluck the cat from the enlarged cavity.

While VICSES volunteers are highlytrained emergency responders, responsible for flood; storm; earthquake; tsunami; and landslide events in Victoria, as well as providing the largest road crash rescue capability in the state, our community-minded volunteers are always willing to help.

Sometimes this involves assisting with animal rescue incidents.

Bryce Wickham said he loves helping animals as well as humans.

“It is enjoyable to help others who are unable to figure out how to help their pets,“ he said.

“Animals are like humans; they need a helping hand in life.

“I’m still mystified by the bird in the wall cavity. Who knows how it got in there? It was a new house and everything was fastened tight.” cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Covid active cases down

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey and Greater Dandenong remain Victoria’s Covid epicentre but active cases have dipped over the past week.

The council areas are the top two in the state for active cases with a combined total of more than 3600 as of 2 November.

Active cases had dropped by 829 in the past seven days – showing a slowing of new cases.

However, there were still more than 1350 new cases in the same period.

In recent weeks, health authorities had voiced concern over rising cases and lagging vaccination rates in the South East.

After a concerted campaign, the vax gap has since closed between the south east and the state’s 81 per cent double-vax rate.

Casey’s double-vaxxed rate for 16 and

overs has steeply risen beyond 82 per cent and Greater Dandenong 76 per cent as of 1 November.

Both council areas have more than 90 per cent single-dose vaccination rates.

However, latest data shows Doveton, Dandenong and Noble Park postcodes are still lagging.

Active cases have dipped in the south east’s postcode hotspots such as the state-topping Dandenong (833 active cases – a drop of 131 in the past week). It still recorded 278 new cases in that period.

Other hotspots are Cranbourne (610 active cases, 226 new cases in the past week), Narre Warren (327, 121), Hampton Park (216, 89), Berwick (176, 73), Springvale (172, 66), Keysborough (165, 68) and Springvale South (150, 71).

State Emergency Service dealt with hundreds of calls across the region.

The SES also had to deal with three road rescues over that time period, in Garfield, Pakenham South and Officer.

Beloved egg farm shuts

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Starting from a chook farm in Chandler Road more than six decades ago, an iconic Keysborough family business has closed its doors.

Keysborough Egg Farm owner David Scaunich held a “heavy heart” as he closed the business started by his parents George and Rosina.

“It’s my life. Closing this was the hardest decision that I and the family has made.”

The move was made for “family reasons” but accelerated by Covid lockdowns in the past 18 months, Mr Scaunich said.

Shopping habits changed as customers were shut out by the five-kilometre rule. Supermarkets “made a killing” while the egg farm’s trade was ravaged.

Last year, the business closed for two weeks’ quarantine as eight staff tested Covid-positive.

Another staff member was infected on the week before the farm called it quits.

“It would have been a big effort to get the business up again.”

In between these famines, there were still some feasts, such as long lines of panic-buyers before a lockdown in mid-2020.

The farm’s fridges would be cleaned out by 3pm.

Sometimes more than 400 queued at the gates due to empty shelves at nearby supermarkets.

“Our butcher was leading them through like the Pied Piper.”

Mr Scaunich has been steeped in the business and family farm since he was five and saw it grow to the impressive egg-processing facility, butcher and shopfront on Greens Road and Pacific Drive.

At its peak, up to 25 smiling staff prepared meats, packed eggs and served customers.

It has supplied to cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, grocers and small retail.

The egg farm shunned the trend to pre-

The former egg farm shop on Perry Road, Keysborough. packing eggs and produce. It instead favoured a fresh delicatessen and packing eggs in front of customers.

“The major thing has been serving customers. It comes at a cost though.”

More than 60 years ago, Mr Scaunich’s father and brother started a poultry farm near the railway line at Chandler Road. It was a time when the area was coated in market gardens, dams and farmsteads.

A chemist now stands on the site.

They shifted to Dingley then to Chapel Road, Keysborough before opening a shop on Perry Road, Keysborough in 1973.

Some of their original customers have stayed the entire 48-year journey. Many reacted with shock and sadness after its demise was announced on 15 October.

One wrote that there was “nothing good left in Keysborough now”, another how they made 70-kilometre round trips to buy their eggs.

“The stuff of legend” was how the customer described the eggs.

Now, Mr Scaunich is looking forward to a rest, including a Christmas with the family, without the frantic pre-festive orders for pork, chicken, turkey and eggs.

“Christmas was bigger than a Grand Final for the effort that we’d put in.

“We were always about quality and about serving customers.”

Local heroes announced

By Danielle Kutchel Ashvina De Zoysa didn’t have ‘become a Westfield Local Hero’ on her 2021 bingo card – but she’s relishing the opportunity and what it represents for her budding not-for-profit.

“It’s probably the craziest thing that’s happened in my short adult life, I really didn’t anticipate it!” she laughed.

The young entrepreneur founded Cook4CALD in 2020 to provide food to the culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community in Casey.

She was one of three finalists in the 2021 Westfield Local Heroes for Fountain Gate.

Each of the affiliated organisations of the successful heroes will be awarded a $10,000 grant to support their work to thrive.

From humble beginnings, Ms De Zoysa’s project has grown to a team of 50 volunteers supplying culturally-appropriate meals to families in the region.

Ms De Zoysa said the need for food relief rose sharply during the Covid lockdowns this year.

From 85 meals per week, Cook4CALD increased its output to a nine-week lockdown relief program delivering 1596 meals around the City of Casey.

“There was zero prep, we just did it,” she recalled.

For nine weeks, Cook4CALD volunteers managed whatever came their way.

Ms De Zoysa said she has received beautiful feedback from asylum seekers, recent migrants and international students who have been able to eat wholesome meals thanks to the efforts of Cook4CALD volunteers.

As Victoria eases out of lockdown, Ms De Zoysa said the focus is now turning to what to spend the $10,000 Westfield Local Heroes grant on.

“I want to use it to make some changes to the organisation, I really want to expand our reach and give the volunteers the tools to do that. I don’t want to just use it for knives!” she said.

The volunteers are now enjoying a wellearned break before launching the annual summer food relief program, which will run for 11 weeks.

Ms De Zoysa said she’s grateful for the opportunities that have come her way and helped to keep her dream alive.

ond Westfield Local Hero is also preparing to expand her work.

Julia Battams, founder of non-profit Equine Pathways Australia (EPA), also received a $10,000 grant from the retail giant and already knows what she’ll put it towards.

“I’m going to buy a horse float so I can take some of the athletes to and from competitions,” she explained.

The float will double as a massage treatment area for the para-athletes that Ms Battams trains through EPA. EPA provides training and opportunities for para-athletes and horse enthusiasts with disabilities to get back in the saddle, whether they’re looking to compete professionally, ride recreationally or return to work in the equine industry.

Ms Battams said being named a Westfield Local Hero was a “really nice surprise”.

It’s a testament to the number of people

who have been touched by her work over the past few years, since EPA was founded in 2017.

While Covid stopped the athletes and participants from meeting in person for much of the year, Ms Battams said with restrictions easing, they’re all looking forward to returning to face-to-face clinics.

She’s using the Local Heroes title to continue to drive interest in her programs.

“The momentum is massive at the moment, everything is pushing ahead really fast,” she said.

Her sights are now firmly set on the Paris 2024 Paralympic games, where she hopes to take a cohort of athletes – and bring back a swag of gold medals.

A third finalist, Matt Runnalls, also received a $10,000 grant to continue the work of his mental health early intervention charity, Mindfull Aus. Find out more about EPA at equinepathways.org.au, or Cook4CALD at cook4cald.org

Rex name shame

By Mitchell Clarke Almost one year since alleged corruption was exposed within the City of Casey, a former councillor is still fighting to clear his name.

Former Springfield Ward councillor Rex Flannery, who resigned as deputy mayor just days before the State Government sensationally sacked the entire council in February 2020, says the events of the past 12 months are still “eating” him up.

He has now officially requested that his name is removed from both a councillor honour board in the customer service centre and a wall plaque in Bunjil Place.

“I have never had any involvement into this alleged corruption scandal and therefore I do not wish to have my name associated with past or former councillors who may have brought our City of Casey into disrepute,” he told Star News.

“People look at your name and they see that you’re from Casey Council and immediately they put you in that same mould, which couldn’t be further than the truth.

“It’s just horrible to have been a councillor in that term. It gives you a sickening feeling in your gut and now I have to live with that.“ Mr Flannery argues his name should never have been placed on the plaque celebrating the $126 million Bunjil development because at the time he didn’t support the project.

“I guess I’ve eaten a little bit of humble pie with Bunjil Place. I’ve been able to see the value that place brings to the community but at the time I was against the development and I wasn’t once consulted (about having my name included),” he said.

He also claims former ex-ward partner, Sam Aziz, stated to him that he “wished he never had my name added to the plaque”.

“That was the only time I agreed with him,” Mr Flannery said.

While Mr Flannery hasn’t accused any former councillor of committing wrongdoing, he said anyone found guilty from the IBAC hearing should immediately have their honours stripped.

“They need to have their plaques removed

Rex Flannery, pictured in late 2015, wants his name stripped from council. 148005 from anywhere within the City of Casey ... whether it’s a plaque in the botanical gardens or in Bunjil Place, I want them removed so they have absolutely no recognition anymore,” he said.

“They’ve disgraced themselves and they’ve disgraced the council. They’ve taken something away from me that I totally enjoyed. I loved serving the Casey community. I just want some clarity as to what way it’s going to go.”

Since his resignation, Mr Flannery has been working in an operating theatre at a local hospital. He said he has every intention to run for council again in 2024.

Casey’s governance manager Rhys Matulis said: “Given the IBAC investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment on that matter. Council has received and will consider Mr Flannery’s request in due course.”

“I want to get back into serving the community again. I want to run again and I want to get my name back on the honour board for the right reasons. At the moment it’s a dishonour board,” he said.

Star News understands Mr Flannery has put forward his request to be heard by the administrators at the next council meeting, slated for Tuesday 2 February.“It’s up to them now but a year later, this is still eating at me. I need closure and this is one way that I can get it,“ he said.

12481581-NG06-21

By Mitchell Clarke

A former client referred me to a book by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang called Rest, subtitled “Why you get more done when you work less” which presents an interesting perspective on the apparent ‘busyness’ of our current lifestyle.

The ‘always on’ lifestyle that we lead and the increasingly high number of hours that we work as a nation is taking a toll not only in terms of the impact on our relationships and time for leisure activities, but also apparently on our personal effectiveness.

I have addressed the issue of time management in previous articles and advocated an approach based on sensible prioritization which does improve things, but Rest provides an insightful and different perspective on how to work more effectively while increasing the time available to pursue non-work related activities.

I am not yet finished with the book, but already there are some interesting insights that I thought I would share.

According to Soojung-Kim Pang, ‘Work’ and ‘Rest’ are actually two sides of the same coin in that you cannot work effectively unless you get sufficient rest (which includes leisure activities as well as sleep) and obviously you need to work in order to fund your personal lifestyle.

There is also an inherent link which many of us may not be aware of, for example have you ever experienced the situation where you been working on a problem and then all of a sudden the answer comes to you later sometime down the track when you are doing something quite unrelated?

This is apparently due to a sequential model described by English psychologist Graham Wallas in his book The Art of Thought (1926) which was created following his study of ‘creative breakthroughs’. He describes a four-stage process through which this occurs: Preparation (conscious activity where you frame and analyse the problem), Incubation (the problem goes into the subconscious while you do other things) followed by Illumination (that ‘aha’ moment when you find the answer through a flash of inspiration) and finally Verification which is a conscious activity focused on verifying the validity of the

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS IAN ASH solution. It turns out that studies have shown that our creative abilities actually go up when we are not working and analysing, but when we are undertaking restful activities such as walking.

Soojung-Kim Pang studied the working habits of many creative thinkers such as Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Erno Rubik (who’s cube bears his name), Pyotr Tchaikovsky and many famous mathematicians and writers and interestingly found that many of these prolific producers often worked no more than four hours a day.

However, the key think that all these great thinkers had in common was that their day was very structured. It usually started early with some doing about an hour’s work and others simply having breakfast or undertaking a restful activity such as walking or the gym. There then followed around three hours of work, sometimes punctuated by a break or two then invariably lunch followed by some form of restful activity again. This strict routine was followed every working day by each of these people.

In my own personal corporate experience many years ago, I can remember deciding to work through my lunch-break in the misguided belief that using this time for work would allow me to finish earlier, but that never eventuated.

However, when I decided instead to go for a walk at lunchtime away from my desk, free from interruptions and able to let my mind wander, that’s when many of the breakthroughs occurred and I did not need to work any later.

Food or perhaps, rest for thought.

FOCUS ON … REMEMBRANCE DAY

RSL plans for services

By Parker Mckenzie As Remembrance Day approaches, Returning Servicemen Leagues (RSL) around Victoria have begun planning services and events.

Sadly, Cranbourne’s Remembrance Day service has been cancelled this year due to Covid restrictions, according to the Dandenong Cranbourne RSL. RSL members will, however, lay a wreath at the High Street cenotaph at the customary time 11am on Thursday 11 November.

Members of the public are also welcome to lay wreathes in a mark of respect to Australia’s fallen during wartime service.

Dandenong Cranbourne RSL sub-branch secretary Barry Rogers said the service could

not be held due to Covid protocols such as QR codes and barriers having to be organised at short notice.

Meanwhile, Berwick RSL is seeking more volunteers to ensure any events on 11 November can run smoothly.

Secretary Chris McKenna said with restrictions easing there would be a normal 11am service.

“We are looking for more volunteers and help,” Mr McKenna said.

“We are still planning events at the moment and we should know more by the end of the week.”

Upper Beaconsfield RSL will be running a service at 11am on Remembrance Day for

members and ex-servicemen only.

President Eric Chaplin said poppies had been distributed among businesses and community groups who support the RSL in the local area.

“It will be more low key than Anzac Day,” Mr Chaplin said.

“It will be similar to last year where we had around a dozen people, but only current members and ex-servicemen will be present because Covid is still out there.”

Nar Nar Goon RSL is running a normal 11am service, however, they are waiting to confirm how many people will be able to attend based on Covid restrictions before letting the public know of their plans.

President Jack Vanstone said there was another big event for the RSL happening on Rememberance Day. “Race 1 at the Pakenham races on Remembrance Day is honouring our ex-servicemen and members,” Mr Vanstone said.

“This was only confirmed two days ago, so it’s all very exciting.”

Lang Lang RSL is currently organising its service.

President Allan Sariman said he will know more by the end of the week.

“We will probably have a small service, but we are still organising it at the moment,” Mr Sariman said.

“I’m catching up with my colleagues tomorrow so we will know more then.”

Commemorate the fallen this Remembrance Day

By Elle Cecil After four years of continuous fighting, gunfire ceased on the Western Front as November 11 1918 marked the end of the First World War. On Thursday 11 November this year, we commemorate those who fought in World War I and recognise the sacrifices they made.

Since 1919, countries around the world have recognised a moment’s silence for fallen soldiers in the First World War. Now, at 11am on 11 November, Australians will pay their respects with one minute of silence.

During the last year of the war in 1918, there were almost 48,000 Australian casualties, and over 12,000 soldiers died. Throughout the entirety of the war however, over 60,000 Australians lost their lives. Their tireless efforts and fierce bravery earned the Aussie soldiers a strong standing on the battlefield, and though their numbers were disproportionate to their revered reputation, they suffered heavy losses - physically, mentally emotionally and spiritually.

Health restrictions may inhibit regular public commemorations this year. Despite this, there are a variety of ways to commem-

At 11am on Thursday 11 November, pause what you are doing and observe a minute of silence at home, school or work.

Wear a poppy or sprig of rosemary to commemorate those who fought, or make your own poppy or Remembrance Day wreath to lay in your community.

Watch the National Remembrance Day Ceremony at 10.45am AEST on the Australian War Memorial’s Facebook page or ABC iView.

show your friends and family who you are remembering during the one minute’s silence at 11am, whether it be a family member, veteran in your community or the Unknown Soldier.

Acknowledge the bravery, sacrifice and efforts of soldiers that have served in the past, as well as those that continue to represent our country today.

Halloween horror park

By Cam Lucadou-Wells The horrors of lockdown were turned into a home garden Halloween treat in Narre Warren North.

Over several months, Brooke McGowanGrills toiled on her macabre art park that sprawls across the Fontaine Terrace front yard.

A playground/graveyard, a haunted dollhouse, a lit-up spider, witches, giant pumpkins, gnomes and a skeleton cooking on a barbecue were among the head-turning attractions.

She was inspired by her childhood passion for the Goosebumps series, as well as the need to give neighbours a “pick up”.

“It gave me something to focus on rather

than wondering what to do.

“I watched the old movies and the series, and just got carried away.”

A visual-arts graduate, Ms McGowan-Grills has made good use of everyday materials.

Making a witch out of trash bags and a tomato-growing cage, or a fence out of an old cot.

“People love it. I get lots of people do really slow drive-bys – they drive here because they see it online.

“I let the kids run amongst it. I made it to be enjoyed.”

On Halloween, Ms McGowan-Grills donned a costume, face-paint and handed out lollybags for trick-or-treaters from her Goosebumps park.

SPORT

Cecil flying high in rare air

By David Nagel Cranbourne superstar Tara Cecil is building one of the great records in community sport with the star defender recently adding a remarkable sixth league best and fairest award to a trophy cabinet already bursting at the seams.

Cecil’s most recent success – her fourth consecutive league award – places her in rarefied air as one of the outstanding sportspeople in the region.

It’s an achievement that has largely slipped under the radar, but the athletic and highlyskilled defender – who has represented both her state and country – deserves sole focus in the spotlight after her 2021 success.

She is a brilliant player…but above all else she is fiercely loyal and totally devoted to the Cranbourne Football Netball Club.

Cecil started her netball journey like so many others – getting a feel for the game through Netta at the age of seven, before progressing to competition outings with friends.

But that’s where the similarities to most netball careers end.

Cecil was just 12, in grade six, when she tried out for her first state team and got the nod.

“I made the Victorian under-12 team and that’s when I started playing netball all the time, during the week, on weekends, training or playing, I couldn’t get enough netball,” she said.

“During that time I played my first game for Cranbourne and I’ve been there ever since.”

Cranbourne’s gun stopper continued to try out for state teams, successful in her endeavours in the under-15s and twice – at bottom and top age – in the under-17s.

At under-15 level she was selected in the Australian team that toured New Zealand and at 17 she was invited to attend the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra.

“I’ve been really lucky to have travelled around Australia and go to New Zealand for my netball, to play the sport I love, and I tried out for all those teams until under-17s,” she said.

Cecil then tested her ability at Victorian Netball League (VNL) level with Monash University, where she reached the elite heights of the championship division, before she took an extended break from the elite level of the game.

While building her impeccable record at Cranbourne, she had four years away from the VNL before in 2018 she joined the Peninsula Waves…a place she still calls a second home today.

“I just needed a break from that level of competition but I’ve loved playing for the Waves and I’m really enjoying that level of intensity and training again,” she said.

“The footy league we play in is a great standard; there are some amazing players, but at VNL level you play with and against faces that you see on TV playing Suncorp (Super Netball).

“It’s a really high standard and enjoyable to be a part of.”

Tara Cecil has stood head and shoulders above the rest in a fantastic career for Cranbourne.

181258 Picture: ROB CAREW Cecil trained with the Vic Fury squad last year – that represents Netball Victoria in the Australian Netball League (ANL) – but interruptions due to Covid didn’t allow the usual selection process to unfold.

But she still has an open mind as to what that might look like in the future.

“While my body is young enough, and fit enough, I would like to keep pushing myself at Cranbourne and VNL level and if that leads to something else then that would be great,” the 28-year-old said.

Cecil has worked through the down times at Cranbourne since playing her first A Grade game at the club as a 15-year-old in 2008.

That was the year where she raised eyebrows around the league by finishing third behind Beaconsfield’s Bridget Gargan and Doveton’s Jodie Bird in the A Grade league best and fairest award!

In total she has won six league awards (2011, ‘13, ‘17, ‘18, ‘19 and ‘21), finished runner-up twice (2012, ‘15), three times in the top three (2008, ‘10’ 14), and in 2016 she finished fourth behind Beaconsfield’s Kaela Hughes.

But it’s that elusive A Grade premiership at Cranbourne that she would trade for in a heartbeat.

“I’ve been there right from the start, since the age of 15, and we definitely had our rough years, 60 or 70 goal losses in some of those early games,” she said.

“Now we’ve pretty much had the same core group in our A Grade squad for several years and we’ve built a team that works really well together, plays as a team, and that’s why I still love playing at Cranbourne, the girls…and the team we have built.

“In 2018 we made our first grand final (against Tooradin) and then had an amazing finals series in 2019. In one game we were down by 10 going into the last quarter, we drew and then won in extra time.

“So we’ve made the last two grand finals in a row, the last one against Olinda, the standout team all season and we only lost by three.

“They were an amazing team, no-one came near them all year, and it was an incredible effort from us.

“We were looking good again this year

so hopefully that premiership is not too far away...I think we have a team that can definitely pull through in finals.”

While Cranbourne means a lot to Tara, the feeling is obviously mutual with the gun defender recently earning life membership.

“That was an incredible thing to receive,” she said.

“The club means so much to me, having been there from the start, and I’ve never wanted to leave – there’s never been a time when I’ve doubted where I was.

“It’s just an amazing group of people that play or work at the club and it just keeps you coming back, the culture is awesome, and I couldn’t ask for any more in a sporting club.”

Cecil puts her individual success down to a mix of hard work, natural talent, a good feel for the game and the confidence to compete against the best.

Some elite standard coaching and inner drive are also key pieces of the puzzle.

“I pride myself on being consistent each week, regardless of the score, pushing myself to make sure I’m playing my best, not just for myself, but for the team,” she said.

“Playing for Victoria and Australia you do get access to the very best coaches and I think what you learn from those coaches’ sticks with you all the way through.

“And I’m a confident player, regardless of who my opponent is on the day I just go out and play my best game and adjust my style to suit who I am playing against on the day.

“And I have absolute confidence in my teammates, full trust and confidence, good teammates make you look good as well.”

Cecil, who has a huge leap, good pace, and is one the best interceptors in the game, is about to embark on a new experience at Cranbourne…coaching juniors next season for the very first time.

“I have no coaching experience at all, but I’ve got to an age where I think I can pass on my knowledge and experience to the younger players at the club,” she said.

“It’s quite exciting to pass on that knowledge to the juniors at a club where I’ve played for most of my life.

“If I enjoy it, who knows, coaching might be something I take a little more seriously down the track.”

Cecil, who rates former Doveton star and now Melbourne Vixen goaler Rahni Samason as her toughest opponent, says she has one major goal in mind as she tries to crystal ball the rest of her career.

“I will play at Cranbourne until we win an A Grade premiership…so if I’m 60 years old and still running around in a netball dress, you’ll know why,” she said with a laugh.

“It’s all I want. I just want to experience the thrill of winning a premiership with Cranbourne.

“It’s nice to win the individual awards and be acknowledged, but I’d swap the individual awards for a premiership any day.”

Just one more trophy Tara…and that trophy cabinet will finally burst at the seams!

Premiership Panther Christie departs Shepley Oval

By Nick Creely Dual Dandenong women’s premiership coach Andy Christie has departed Shepley Oval on the eve of the Victorian Premier Cricket season.

The much-respected coach – who has helped lead the Panthers to two women’s first XI premierships in just three seasons in charge – has taken on a new role as female emerging players performance manager at Cricket Victoria.

Women’s assistant coach, Shane Lamour, will now take the next step in his coaching journey at the club as head coach for the 2021/22 season. Lamour has worked closely with the second XI over the past two seasons and is seen in high regard for his work in improving the women’s program. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Dandenong’s Women’s coach Andrew Christie has departed the club.

Picture: CHRIS THOMAS The Panthers have also announced that talented off-spinner Cassie Stephens has joined the club as a player/assistant coach.

Stephens previously played with Ringwood following a move from Perth last year where she captained and played for South Perth and University in the grade cricket competition.

In a statement from the Panthers last Tuesday, the club wished Christie well as he embarks on a new and exciting pathway.

“Andy has had a profound impact on the entire playing group over his three seasons as head coach,” the club said.

“He has created a positive environment for all players, which has led to enormous growth in our women’s program, including two 1st XI premierships. “Andy’s guidance has helped us become excellent cricketers and more importantly better people. Whilst we are sad that he is departing the club, we are extremely excited for him to take the next

step in his coaching journey.

“As a club we would like to thank Andy for his incredible contribution to not only the success of our program, but the positive influence that he has had on the entire club.”

There’s been limited movement at Shepley Oval this off-season, with the Panthers losing Maryam Omar from their premiership side, and will be captained by Nicole Faltum once again.

The reigning premiers will now quickly turn their attention to defending their premiership from last season, with the Panthers to take on a Prahran side expected to be a big improver on Sunday 14 November.

DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION

SEASON PREVIEW - TURF 1 (PART ONE) competition, it’s set to be another bumper season after a huge off-season of recruiting.

This week we take a look at how Narre South, Narre Warren, North Dandenong and St Mary’s are placed, with the remainder of

NARRE SOUTH

NORTH DANDENONG

Nickname: Lions President: Nathan Tracy Coach: Matt Brooks Captain: Kyle Hardy Last Season: Fifth Most Runs: Kaushalya Weeraratne (329 runs at 41.13); Kyle Hardy (276 runs at 55.20) Most Wickets: Josh Dowling (31 wickets at 12.68); Morteza Ali (18 wickets at 12.78) In: Harsha De Silva (West Coburg) Out: Josh Dowling (Springvale South), Scott Phillips (Williamstown Imperials) Home Base: Strathaird Reserve, Narre Warren South Turf 1 premierships: 5 Most recent premiership: 1979/80 First match: vs Hallam Kalora Park, Strathaird Reserve More: It was only a matter of percentage that prevented the Lions from their second straight Turf 1 finals appearance with the club now well and truly entrenched in the DDCA’s top-flight, and with a thriving junior program are continuing to build a strong base into the future. Little moments in the end proved the catalyst for just missing out, and with another one-day season ahead will be hoping to learn from their mistakes. It won’t be easy with the association’s leading paceman last season, Josh Dowling off to Springvale South. It’s a big loss and one hard to replace. The legendary Scott Phillips’ memorable stint with the club has come to a close with the great all-rounder moving clubs to be closer to home. But just as champions do, he’s left the club in a better place than when he arrived, having scored 2403 runs at 47.12 and 158 wickets at 12.61 in his 66 matches. His century and six-wicket-haul in the Turf 2 grand final will go down in folklore. The Lions have added attacking opener Harsha De Silva from West Coburg and expect him to settle in nicely at the top, while will be hoping 2019/20 Wookey winner Morteza Ali, champion all-rounder Kaushalya Weeraratne, skipper and gun batter Kyle Hardy

Nickname: Maroons President: Jason Shaw Captain: Clayton McCartney Coach: Leroy de Alwis Last Season: Seventh Most Runs: Clay McCartney (377 runs at 41.89); Imran Laghmani (250 runs at 41.67) Most Wickets: Nimesh Kariyawasam (22 wickets at 19); Imran Laghmani (12 wickets at 15.08) In: Sanjaya Rodrigo (Overseas), Austin Heldt (Endeavour Hills), Sohail Saqiq (Endeavour Hills), Patrick Bond (Monash University), Declan Fowler (returning) Out: Nimesh Kariyawasam (Buckley Ridges), Nanayakkarawasam Kalumshehara (St Mary’s), Buddhika Janith (Taylors Lakes), Rahi Arn Cox (WA) Home Base: Lois Twohig Reserve, Dandenong North Turf 1 premierships: 2 Most recent premiership: 1997/98 First match: vs St Mary’s, Lois Twohig Reserve More: The Maroons showed some promising signs late last season, and will be desperate to continue on with the late season momentum and become a genuine finals smoky. There’s been some movement, with the club losing a trio of bona-fide first XI players in Nimesh Kariyawasam, Raveen Nanayakkara and Buddhika Janith, but have recruited brilliantly with the experienced Sanjaya Rodrigo, an ex-First Class batter who has played a stack of cricket in the UK signing on in a playing-coaching capacity to help bolster the squad on and off the field, ex-Premier Cricket opener Austin Heldt returning from Endeavour Hills to give some class up the top, while Sohail Sadiq comes with him and Declan Fowler has returned. It provides a strong mix with the likes of gun skipper Clay McCartney, star all-rounder Javed Khan and Imran Laghmani all set to go around again.

Khan in particular looms as a real x-factor

Narre South.

Narre South skipper Kyle Hardy. 226241 can carry the bulk of responsibility, with the likes of Jawed Hussaini, Tim Phillips and Kirk Dickson continuing to contribute strongly. A stern test against reigning premiers Hallam Kalora Park in the opening round will be fascinating viewing.

NARRE WARREN

ST MARY’S

Nickname: Magpies President: Ricky Jones Coach: Brett Lewis and Tony Young Captain: Cameron Dinger Last Season: Turf 2 premiers Most Runs: Zach Allen (387 runs at 29.77); Ben Swift (282 runs at 23.50) Most Wickets: Josh Dinger (33 wickets at 9.79); Cameron Dinger (23 wickets at 9) In: Nil Out: Nil Home Base: Sweeney Recreation Reserve, Narre Warren Turf 1 premierships: 0 Most recent premiership: 2020/21 Turf 2 premiership First match: vs Berwick, Arch Brown Reserve More: The Maggies return to Turf 1 with unwavering momentum after a superb Turf 2 premiership that saw them play some largely electrifying cricket and really kick into gear at the pointy end of the season.

With the season to once again be played in a one-day format, the club knows that it suits the white ball game, has some destructive hitters and leaders who know what’s required to succeed in the shorter game. Cam Dinger will skipper the Magpies this season, with the leggie a quality cricketer who keeps getting better, while the likes of Zach Allen, zippy paceman Josh Dinger and Ben Swift are also vital players

Nickname: Saints President: Troy Cashman Coach: Neil Shaw Captain: Wendyl Pires Last Season: Sixth Most Runs: Kusan Niranjana (271 runs at 20.85); Junaid Kari (213 runs at 16.38) Most Wickets: Kusan Niranjana (24 wickets at 15); Deeshan Vimukthi (17 wickets at 17.82) In: Raveen Kalumshehara (North Dandenong) Out: Archie Rajapakse Home Base: Carroll Reserve, Dandenong Turf 1 premierships: 7 Most recent premiership: 2002/03 First match: vs North Dandenong, Lois Twohig Reserve More: The Saints enter the Turf 1 season as one of the great unknowns, and an exciting team to keep an eye on. The group was ulta-competitive last season, perhaps better than its sixth position and three win season suggests, and will be hoping it can take another step and not just make up the numbers. There’s been little movement in or out as the club looks for stability, with Raveen Kalumshehara coming in to help bolster the batting after the loss of Archie Rajapakse, with Wendyl Pires to replace Rajapakse as skipper as the club looks to forge forward. The Saints are excited about what Corey Ely can produce with a full sea-

Narre Warren. as the club looks to mix it with the DDCA’s best and most powerful clubs once again.

Dinger’s pace and x-factor are a crucial factor in the side, with the club confident he can take another huge leap after 33 wickets last season, including six in the grand final.

While the Magpies could have looked outside to add to the list, Brett Lewis’ group has immense confidence that it doesn’t want to unsettle the premiership team, believing they’re well and truly on track for a competitive season in Turf 1 cricket if they stick to the same process that saw them achieve glory last season. The group is young, full of talent and will back themselves in. It’s hard to know whether they will push for finals, but they’re a dangerous group capable of anything. And what better way to test themselves back in the top-flight than a trip to Arch Brown Reserve to take on the mighty Berwick.

North Dandenong has recruited strongly for this season. 225295 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS for the Maroons if they’re to climb up the table. There’s plenty of reasons to be bullish about the Maroons, who will be looking for improvement underneath but have the star power to be a tricky proposition for opposition clubs.

St Mary’s. son expected from him, with his economic and smart bowling in the one-day format seen as a major factor. Deeshan Vimukthi and Kusan Niranjana will be better for the run after impressive debut seasons for the club last season, and will be hoping for other senior members to stand up and really nudge the top-four. All-rounder Niranjana was particularly excellent last season, leading the side for runs and wickets, and with the group continuing to stabilize and build a strong base, is one to really note down as one to watch across the association. A run at the finals is within sights if they can snag some surprise wins. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Laming has a lethal sting

By David Nagel Cranbourne-trainer Richard Laming’s growing reputation for executing long-term plans to perfection has been enhanced even further after Excelman scored a soft victory at Flemington on Tuesday.

The five-year-old gelding has been better known as a middle-distance galloper in recent times, but produced an impressive turn of foot – first up from a spell - to win the $130,000 BenchMark-90 Subzero Handicap (1400m) for greys.

Excelman set camped off the pace set by race-leader Naval Envoy, before being asked for the supreme effort at the 400-metre mark and gradually hauling in the leader near the clock-tower.

Jockey Blaike McDougall surged to the lead at the 100-metre mark before taking the pedal off the metal as the pair cruised home for an in-the-end soft victory.

The Melbourne Cup day race had been a target for the Laming stable since Excelman was tipped out after running sixth at Caulfield over 2000-metres in early July.

“We’re happy to win here today, it was a target race and it’s always good to pull those off,” Laming explained post-race.

“We turned him out last preparation and set him for this race and he’s a horse that goes very well fresh.

“I said to the owners in my report this morning that this is the best I’ve ever had him going and it showed out there today.”

With one target race executed to perfection, Laming said the son of Reliable Man/Glory Run would now likely be set for a 2400-metre staying test during the Gold Coast Magic Millions carnival in early 2022.

“He’s a Magic Millions horse so there’s a staying race up there for him in January so we’ll just map our way up there,” Laming said, before praising the ride of former New South Wales jockey McDougall.

“He’s a good rider, he came down from over the border and he’s ridden winners for me before…so I was happy to put him on.”

McDougall said it was a thrill to win on Excelman after getting to know the horse in recent times.

“We were very lucky, we drew one, so we were drawn to receive every chance in running,” McDougall said.

“Over the last month I’ve been heading to Cranbourne and jumping this fella out and he’s been going terrific and he was a credit to Richard (Laming) and his team today.”

Excelman has now won four of his 19 starts and amassed an impressive $250,000 in prizemoney.

Blaike McDougall drives the Richard Laming-trained Excelman to victory at Flemington on Tuesday. 256527 The training team of Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young then rounded out a great day for Cranbourne locals when their five-yearold mare Rich Hips scored a dominant win in the $200,000 Group-3 Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes (1400m).

The daughter of Written Tycoon/She’s Curvaceous made it a unique double on Tuesday, having won the same race on Melbourne Cup day last year!

Jockey Nash Rawiller went back in the field from a wide gate and stayed close to the inside fence in the straight riding for luck.

Rawiller’s plan worked a treat, with gaps appearing from the 400-metre mark, allowing Rich Hips to weave a passage and find herself in front…back on the fence…in the run to the finish line.

Rich Hips scored a length-win from the Ben and JD Hayes-trained Excelida, with Paul’s Regret a significant distance back in the third.

Rich Hips has now saluted in seven of her 22 race starts and accumulated more than $550,000 in stakes.

Koblenz canes ‘em in vintage Cranbourne Cup final

By Gerard Guthrie Superstar blueblood Koblenz claimed his first Group event and handed trainer David Geall an incredible fourth country cup for 2021 with a brilliant all-the-way victory in the $50,000 Cranbourne Cup final (520m).

Saturday night’s win was a special moment in an extraordinary year for Geall, with Koblenz being a son of Fernando Bale and his dual Group 1 victor Up Hill Jill, winner of the 2017 Topgun and 2018 Golden Easter Egg. While Koblenz brought a sensational 22 from 35 record into the cup final, a Group trophy had proven elusive, with his two previous feature appearances netting minor placings in the Group-3 Warragul St. Leger and Group-3 Cranbourne Classic.

It was a case of third time lucky for Geall, wife Rose, brother Jeff and sister-in-law Marie, who share in the ownership of Koblenz.

“It is a relief, because he’s been in a couple of Group races and just missed out on making the Maturity,” Geall told Jason Adams post-race.

“When they’ve got that much pace, you’re just hoping they’re going to pull one off and now I’m just glad he’s done it.”

Geall had a very strong hand in the $50,000 cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Koblenz shows his opposition a clean pair of heels in Saturday night’s final of the Cranbourne Cup.

Trainer David Geall is all smiles after Koblenz scored a breakthrough victory in the Cranbourne Cup. to-the-winner Cup final, with Koblenz (Box 4) sent out $2.60 favourite and fastest heat winner Fernando Mick (Box 2) at $7.40.

Koblenz showed his trademark blistering early pace, leading Andrea Dailly’s $3.40 second elect Lala Kiwi, which was unbeaten in

four starts at Cranbourne, and Graeme Jose’s Aston Shine ($24).

Koblenz wouldn’t be denied this time and kicked strongly in the home straight, drawing clear to defeat Aston Shine by two lengths in a flying 29.70sec, just over two lengths out-

side It’s A Blaze’s 29.54sec track record.

The victory took Koblenz’s prizemoney tally to $195,435 and there’s every chance that figure will be boosted substantially by year’s end, with the Melbourne Cup and inaugural Phoenix very much in the frame.

“I just saw him get out quick and I thought ‘You beauty!” Geall said.

“I had a quick look out for little Fernando Mick and I saw he’d missed it, so I focused back on this guy.

“I’m really happy for my brother, Jeff, and sister-in-law, Marie.

“They bought half a share and took a big punt because it didn’t come cheap…even for family!”
