Marchers took to the streets of Pakenham on Wednesday to show their support for the victims of domestic violence. 147355 Picture: GARY SISSONS
■Marchers deliver a blow against the scourge of domestic violence‌
Winds of change By ANEEKA SIMONIS
munity - “we will not tolerate violence�.
STRONG gusts of wind threatened to push locals off track during the fifth annual Walk Against Violence through the streets of Pakenham on White Ribbon Day on Wednesday 25 November. However, anti-violence supporters strengthened their stride and showed they would not stand for violence. Black and white balloons carried by more than double the number of walkers who turned out to last year’s peaceful walk through central Pakenham presented a strong message to the com-
Increasingly, men are taking responsibility for the issue of family violence with the majority of domestic assaults committed by men, particular those known to the victim. John Veloso, 37, a father of three boys under the age of nine, said he actively challenges men who make sexist comments in a bid to mould the community’s perception of gender and equality for the sake of future generations.
“I am here to take a stand against violence. “There is no place for that in our society yet it’s becoming a bigger problem, and people don’t realise it,� he said. Mr Veloso, who works as in youth welfare support, practices what he preaches - inside and outside the home. “I want to make sure I am modelling the right message to my boys. I want them to be respectful to their mum and to girls and eventually women. “When I pick up on comments or
innuendos that incite or encourage inequality by men, I call them out. “Sometimes men think it’s OK but it’s not. “It’s easier to walk away and ignore those comments but you have to be brave to help stop it.� For the past 10 years, foster carer Emma Firth has opened her door to young people who have been removed from or have left their family home largely caused by family violence issues. She pounded the pavement in an at-
tempt to shine a light on this issue that she has seen create long-term, traumatic impacts on young people. “A lot of young people in and out of home care have been impacted by family violence. “They show signs of ongoing trauma as a result of the violence,� she said, linking violence to the substance abuse and mental health problems that are experience by many foster children.

Winds of change From front page The walk was followed by a family violence awareness talk at Pakenham Hall by a number of notable speakers including Bass MP Brian Paynter, Pakenham police Senior Sergeant Graeme Stanley, Richmond Football Club CEO Brendan Gale and Cardinia shire councillor Jodie Owen. Snr Sgt Stanley said Cardinia shire had seen an alarming increases in family violence reports in the past five years - but police are working to combat the epidemic with more dedicated officers and training. “We are doing much more now than ever before,” he said. Mr Gale said he often thinks about the future of his two daughters when thinking about the dire need for change in the community’s attitudes about gender and equality. “For parents, there is nothing more important in the world than our kids’ future,” he said. “The sad fact is that for some girls, life beyond their childhood home will be a nightmare of domestic violence. “Someone who was held so precious may be abused by someone else.” Mr Gale said the Richmond Football Club had adopted workplace values which empower women. In Cardinia shire between July 2014 and June 2015, police received 1319 reports of family violence, up 12 per cent on the incidents recorded in the previous 12-month period. The area also scored the highest five-year rise in domestic violence reports across the city’s south east. Cardinia Shire Council is soon due to launch an initiative to help decrease men’s violence toward women called Together We Can.
Police joined the march to show their solidarity.

New homes for the groups By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM PRE-LOVED furniture from Cardinia Shire Council’s former offices have found new homes with more than 40 local community groups. After sitting dormant at the Henty Way premises for a year, council opened the doors for community group representatives to inspect and take
away pieces of furniture last Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 November. Mayor Jodie Owen said over 1000 items of furniture were claimed by community groups including sporting clubs, kindergartens, schools, fire brigades and churches. “Council thought long and hard about how the excess furniture could be put to good use in our local com-
munity, and what better way than to donate it to the many hardworking community groups operating within our shire and servicing our residents,” she said. “Some of the larger items, like the fridges and kitchen equipment, were donated to some local social housing providers before the inspection.” The remaining items will be auc-
tioned off by the Rotary Club of Pakenham from 9am this Saturday 28 November. Items available for purchase this weekend will include desks, office chairs, tables, kitchen equipment and filing cabinets. Mayor Owen encouraged residents to support the sale, with all proceeds being used by the Rotary Club to sup-
port local groups. “Everything must go! It has to be removed before Monash Health move into the building and begin renovations to create Pakenham Health Hub,” she said. “Anyone is welcome to come and attend the auction and all proceeds will be used by the Rotary Club to support local community groups.”
Village carols usher in season RESIDENTS at Evergreen Retirement Village welcomed in the Christmas season this week by singing along to Christmas carols performed by local students. On Tuesday 25 November, the Beaconhills College Middle School choir delighted residents with beloved Christmas tunes along with some modern arrangements. Following the carols, residents and students shared a barbecue and
had the chance to learn more about each other. Music teacher Lauren Lee said the visit provided an opportunity for students to engage with the community in a fun and festive way. “The students were able to bring some Christmas cheer, socialise with the residents and share stories,” she said. “It was the chance to sing to a very attentive audience, which
gave students some valuable performance experience plus the opportunity to relate to more mature members of our community.” “The students had to be encouraged initially to get talking, but once they got going, I found it hard to drag them away when it was time to leave.” The choir has already accepted an invitation for a return performance at the retirement village next year.
The Beaconhills Middle School choir performed traditional and modern Christmas songs. 147410

Alleged burglars caught in act? A MAN and a woman have been charged with burglary after being arrested near an Officer construction site this morning (Wednesday). Police say they were alerted to an attempted break-in
at the Bridge Road premises about 1.20am. They arrested a 35-yearold Garfield woman waiting in a nearby car. A 25-year-old Pakenham
man was caught by a police dog in a nearby field after a short foot chase. The pair is expected to front Dandenong Magistrates’ Court today.

CAN violent men change? That question will linger in viewers’ minds long after they’ve finished watching the documentary Call Me Dad. The documentary, which will air tonight (Thursday, 26 November) on the ABC to coincide with the White Ribbon initiative, focuses on the inner workings of a men’s behavioural change group in Narre Warren. Over 16 weeks last year, independent film-maker Sophie Wiesner chronicled the men involved in the group Heavy METAL - short for Men’s Education Towards Anger and Life. The documentary focuses on three men in particular - each a father and perpetrator of violence and their families. But even with each determined to make amends, the film does not back away from showing how difficult it is for men to break tendencies that for so long have been normal practice. An incident occurred during filming and features in the doco, which reminded Sophie how hard it could be for men to change, and the consequences for their partners and children. “When the guys had setbacks, it felt like a setback for not just the individuals but for our crew as well,” she said. “I set about trying to see positive change in the lives of these families but that didn’t always occur. “It’s an important lesson and part
“My partner and I were invited to a family function and we had a disagreement before the function and I spat the dummy and didn’t want to go,” he previously told Star News. “I went to the party and made a fool of myself, I got a bit of steel pipe out of my work truck and started smashing up the car in front of a lot of people and children and I realised when I saw the looks on those kids’ faces that I’d really scared these guys.” Dave shares his story in the documentary, and draws on his own history to help the men in the group. “With David and Jacqui, it’s their relationship with the participants that enabled my own relationships with those in the group to develop,” Sophie said. “They (David and Jacqui) are very compassionate, very skilful, and very brave people. “They feel the film’s a very realistic portrayal of the work they do - it portrays both the successes and the limitations of their work. “Men’s behavioural change programs do not change all men, and it is not the answer to every family’s problem, but it can change some men and improve the safety of women and children.” For more information on Call Me Dad visit www.callmedadfilm.com, and to check out a trailer for the film visit berwicknews.starcommunity. com.au If you need help, contact Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre 1800 015 188, or go to www. safesteps.org.au
Filmaker Sophie Wiesner and Casey local and trained counsellor Dave Nugent worked together to create the documentary Call Me Dad. Pictures: BEN KING of the reality of that kind of work - it works for some and it doesn’t work for others.” Sophie began her research into Call Me Dad in 2012, but her reasons for pursuing the project date back much further. “My mother’s father was very violent ... and my mum grew up in a small country town, and neither
she nor my grandmother ever really spoke about what happened at home,” she said. In this way Sophie was drawn to Dave Nugent and Jacqui Seamark, who run the weekly two and a half hour Heavy METAL sessions. It was 20 years ago when Dave, who started the group in 2004, realised he had to change.

A FIRE lit in the conscience of more than 100 community leaders across Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia as part of the three-year Challenge Family Violence program that will never be extinguished. That’s the opinion of Christiaan O’Dea from the Department of Justice and Regulation who was part of the ground-breaking project that winds up this month. “I challenge participants to continue with their work in this area,” he told a recent showcase event at the City of Casey. “This program has lit a fire within this group that cannot be extinguished.” The Challenge Family Violence program enlisted the help of predominantly male community leaders across the three municipal areas to pledge their support for the White Ribbon principles and seek to change attitudes and behaviour towards women in their spheres of influence. They participated in a series of workshops to be better informed about attitudes towards women in society that can lead to family violence - things like gender inequality, stereotyping and male privilege. Then Cardinia Mayor Leticia Wilmot applauded the initiative as fostering prevention through leadership. “The program focused on men and the faith and sporting communities and had dedicated women leading the way,” she said.

THE first stage of the City of Casey’s new council chambers was kicked off, with Brookfield Multiplex Constructions Pty. Ltd chosen to bring the $125 million project to life. With a proven track record and a resume reading Federation Square, Royal Melbourne Showgrounds and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, “Brookfield Multiplex was the standout team” for the job, Mayor Sam Aziz said. On Monday 23 November the construction giant met with Casey council to formalise the agreement. “Today officially marks the beginning of the construction process for Bunjil Place. This is an exciting day for the City of Casey and a significant milestone in the project’s timeline,” Cr Aziz said. The build which will be ongoing for the next two years will be the only re-
gional community facility of its kind, and Brookfield Multiplex managing director Graham Cottam said his team was thrilled to take on a “one-of-a-kind project”. “Brookfield has industry-leading, internationally accredited systems and processes, and we are ready and excited to hit the ground running and work with the council and Casey community to deliver Bunjil Place by late 2017,” Mr Cottam said. In a statement from the Casey council, Cr Aziz said the “community can expect to see Brookfield Multiplex on site this week (23- 27), with construction works to commence within a few weeks.” The construction project is expected to create more than 1200 job opportunities 700 of which will be local. The new facility will include an 800seat theatre, studio, art gallery, community library and meeting rooms, civic centre and council offices.

It's None Of Our Business But ... IT SEEMS hard to get a drink of water these days. A burglar fled from a vacated, heavily firedamaged home when police arrived, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard last week. He had scaled the home’s Cyclone security fencing, taken out a TV and collected a pile of copper wiring ripped out of the home. The raider told police who arrested him several streets away that he had just been thirsty and looking to grab a drink of water.

PUT this other burglar into the category of naive or stupid. The thief allegedly stole car keys from an elderly resident’s home in a retirement village and then the resident’s car out of a locked garage. All this happened while the old man was sleeping in bed. Apparently the burglar, who was facing a lengthy jail term for aggravated burglary, struggled with the concept of ‘retirement village’. In his own defence, he told police he had no idea his victim was elderly. TWO men’s confrontation at a Bunnings
roundabout turned into a lengthy bun-fight in court. According to one man’s version he had slowed down in his ute and trailer for a mum and her toddler near the crossing. Then he’s been overtaken by a guy in a four-wheel drive who, in the process, scraped their vehicle on a median strip sign. The first driver has then been blamed for side-swiping the four-wheel-drive and charged with leaving the scene of the accident without exchanging details. “He started ranting and raving. I told him he was a bloody idiot,” the man told the court. “There’s no way I’m going to give details to a guy like him.
With 2 million geocaches worldwide, Casey Fields was one of Victoria’s main destinations this month. The Melbourne Adventure was launched in Casey on Sunday 15 November and councillor Geoff Ablett said the digital orienteering is a fantastic and innovative addition to the municipality. “More than 1000 people visited Casey Fields to get involved in what is sure to be the largest geocaching event held in the southern hemisphere,” Cr Ablett said. Participants on the day had the opportunity to engage in canoeing, kayaking and tree climbing all while navigating using their mobile GPS.
THE regular media briefing with Casey police was a bit different this week. With the regular meeting room occupied by a conference, reporters were ushered into a room on the ground floor that barely fit a table and chairs. But although it was cramped, the journalists still walked away from the briefing with enough news to fill the crime pages.
HAMPTON Park is home to new a burger diner that is fast appealing to hungry residents throughout Casey. Didier Richard opened the Heroes Burger Diner earlier this year, bringing his dad’s brioche recipe with him. One of the highlights is the All Star burger which, along with a wagyu patty, includes bacon, egg, cheese, mustard, and lots of barbecue sauces. This notable meal also comes with everyone’s favourite curly fries.
THE City of Casey has joined the world’s largest treasure hunt.

the victim. “There’s an obligation on you. If you breach that, there’s consequences. “If there’s not (consequences), then the whole thing is meaningless.” Men in denial are commonplace in family violence cases at the court. They are led from the police cells to the dock often in shock. Often they have been arrested the night before, and never previously been taken into custody before. It’s part of the police’s stated proarrest and pro-remand policy against such offenders, and the court’s determination to fast-track these cases. Another incredulous accused man denies charges of choking his ex by the
throat despite an observable red swelling being found on her neck. He had told police: “F***. I’m not getting charged with that s***.” The man didn’t initially appear at court because he was more worried about losing his job. When he did appear, the magistrate offered him a community-corrections order for a guilty plea. But the accused declined and decided to contest the charges. “So does he prefer to go to jail?” a disbelieving judge said. “You’d be looking at a term of imprisonment for strangulation. It’s taken seriously because of the potential for homicide.
“I’m not asking for you take unpaid community work but to engage with a men’s behaviour program.” After a talk with his lawyer, the accused asked for some more time to consider his options. It’s strange how often the men in the dock seem so small and meek. Their silence is in such contrast to the screaming threats to kill their partner, and the blows they inflict within the sanctum of the family home. Sometimes their victims fall silent, particularly when the perpetrator is a husband who, if convicted, risk having their bridging visa revoked and being returned to their homeland. In that situation, the victims often

THE man accused of more than 6000 intervention order breaches can’t believe he’s in court. He’s already told the police that the charges are “bulls***”. As he waits hours, the stronglybuilt businessman mulls over how he and his five employees are losing a day of work. He fumes with his arms crossed as he tells the magistrate he’ll plead guilty just so he can bring the ordeal to an end. In his impatience, he’s shoved aside a Victoria Legal Aid lawyer in midsentence as she’s addressed the judge on his behalf. He makes light of the nearly 6500 calls and texts to his ex-partner in two months - all in breach of an intervention order. There was never any violence or threats, the man says. The calls and texts were usually instigated by the ex, who wanted to remove the intervention order anyway. “It’s usually about money,” he says. “Basically, someone doesn’t get their own way so this is a way of getting at me.” At Dandenong Magistrates’ Court a magistrate often tries to recalibrate the accused’s victim-blaming attitude. Today, the judge told the man: “A lot of people don’t agree with the law. That’s why they go to jail. “I have to say you’re on the footstep of jail.” The magistrate said it was irrelevant whether an estimated 4000 of the calls and messages were instigated by
cave to the pressure from family and friends to back off. On other occasions, victims refuse to shirk the issue. Recently a teenager, on the day before her VCE English exam, testified on video-link against her father. She spoke of her dad being in “one of those moods”, of him trying to hug and kiss his ex-partner and wanting to become a family again. The usual stuff, she wearily called it. “You get used to his behaviour.” She described her dad following them as they drove away, her sister crying due to the situation, him following her mum in the house, the slamming of doors, banging and yelling. She stayed in the car, holding down the door lock to stop her father coming in. “I keep sticking up for mum and he told me I was a disgrace to him.” When her grandmother called her phone, she was in tears, worried and scared, she says over the court’s video screen. The daughter said her relationship with Dad was confusing. “I just avoid him because I know he gets angry very easily. “He gets in arguments over silly things all the time.” As she testified, her father sat hunched over in the courtroom with tears welling in his eyes. Over the video link, her father is invisible to her, as he is outside the court as well.

FAMILY violence may not be what many people think it is. The issue inside the homes of Casey residents at an above average rate comes in various forms and hurts victims far beyond a black eye. Head of the Casey Family Violence Unit (CFVU) Sergeant Ian Lane said one partner exercising control over the other is the real crux of the universal problem. “Family violence comes in the non-physical form as well as the physical such as threats, psychological, economical and verbal abuse,” Sgt Lane said. “Awareness campaigns that show victims with black eyes often bring it home for people but don’t highlight other forms that women are falling victim to.” With 37 years’ experience in the force and 15 of them patrolling the streets of Casey Sgt Lane has been in charge of the CFVU for two years and said threats and economical abuse is what he sees most of. “Contrary to popular belief, most of our work isn’t offences of physical violence,” he said. “We see economical abuse where one partner is being held against their will and threats are made to take away credit cards or the partner is only given $10 or $15 a week to live off. “Or money is only provided for household costs and nothing is left for them to buy things they may want.” Sgt Lane said controlling
FAMILY VIOLENCE IS... Direct and indirect threats Sexual assault Emotional and psychological torment Economic control Damage to property Social isolation Behaviours causing a person to live in fear Physical injury male partners who solely delegate finances can also segregate their partner as well. “Isolating a partner and ensuring they don’t leave the home and aren’t allowed to mix in a social circle or make friends is another form of abuse,” he said. Coercive and threatening behaviour in a non-sexual manner is another facet of family violence and Sgt Lane said such abuse can come in very simple ways. “Threats like ‘if dinner is not on the table by the time I am home’ I will do such and such to you and a lot of verbal, emotional abuse goes on with this type of family violence,” he said. The typical family violence offender is a male aged 18 to 45 years old and Sgt Lane said the CFVU doesn’t see a lot of female offenders.
“Females assaulting males may not be reported to same level but I could count on one hand the number of those incidents over the last couple of months,” he said. Sgt Lane encourages anyone who is falling victim or knows of someone experiencing violence in the home to make a police report. “The rise in family violence offences is a good thing,” he said. “If family violence reports went down I’d ask myself why because I don’t know that enough is being done at the moment to stem the flow of these types of offences. “It’s one of those things that the government and police can never do enough of to help prevent.”

FOR 11 years Fiona Link-Freeman has worked with women trying to escape and save their children from abusive relationships. The Windermere Victim’s Assistance counsellor advises them and mentors them, but at the end of the day, she said, it was up to the victim to make a decision to act. This makes the response a victim receives the first time she seeks help utterly crucial to what happens next. “Usually, the first disclosure a woman makes, that response will determine whether she continues to seek support,” she said. “Because they’ve been brainwashed ... ” In just over a decade with Windermere in Narre Warren, Fiona has seen family violence campaigning increase tenfold. But the insidious societal scourge still continues to tear families apart, particularly in Casey and Cardinia where many of Fiona’s clients are from. From April 2014 to March 2015 there were 3759 family incidents reported in Casey compared to 3636 in the same period a year earlier the most of any local government area. “It’s becoming a lot more of a serious public issue that needs to be addressed and out there it makes it a lot easier for women to have courage and trust to disclose their experiences,” Fiona said. “More women are coming to the forefront, and it’s a huge step in ad-

dressing the issue.” But in Fiona’s case, tackling family violence has always been a priority, even dating back to long before she started working with Windermere. “It’s always been the case for me,” she said. “Even as a young teenage woman, when you have the human right to live freely taken away from you, it’s such a gross social form of injustice and gross violation of human rights. “That’s what drives me personally ... to be able to support these women and work with them, to be able to find ways to re-establish their rights and space in the world.”
Fiona works with Katrina Herbert, the team leader of Windermere’s counselling program. She oversees a range of different programs offered by the organisation as it continues to support women and children suffering from abusive relationships. This includes the six-week Healthy Women Healthy Relationships program, co-ordinated by Fiona. Katrina concedes that she and other carers can only do so much, and at the end of the day she understands the victims need to be willing to seek change. But for as long as she can, the Windermere team leader will continue to mentor these women and
children, and help to lead them to a better, and safer, life. “It’s more about the advocacy role, being able to support women and children to access their rights and them being able to have a voice,” Katrina said. “A lot of these women tend to be hidden and not express their own voices and aren’t able to follow their own passions. “I think it is about knowing not every woman will be able to get to that end point, but also knowing they’re on the road to it - we’ve opened up the doors.” If you need help, contact Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre 1800 015 188, or go to www. safesteps.org.au

Doveton Football Club is one of the organisations participating in the Challenge Family Violence video.
TWENTY years ago, family violence was an issue often swept under the carpet. Conversations about violence that occurred behind closed doors were rare and carried a certain shame, both in the community and in the media. But times have changed and influential males have recognised that they hold the power to helping reform the attitudes and change the behaviours of other men within society. On 10 November, the Challenge Family Violence Group released a video featuring male community leaders from organisations in the City of Casey, the Cardinia Shire, the City of Dandenong as well as Monash Health. The men in the video speak out about their views on family violence and the role they play in preventing it.
They represent various groups including the police, the local newspaper, faith groups, a local football club and a primary school. The video highlights that men can make a difference within their own families but also in the wider community. Dandenong police Inspector Bruce Kitchen said that challenging family violence can be as simple as having conversations with other men and encouraging them to also spread an anti-violence message. “I challenge all men not to walk past people that make snide comments against females,” he said. “I push that out to my sons and they’re starting to talk about it with their mates. “Even at a local footy match, if I hear something I’ll say something.”
As well voicing the views of the men, the video highlights the shocking statistics demonstrating the severity of the issue - one in three Australian women will experience physical assault in their lifetime and one in five will experience sexual assault. The Challenge Family Violence Group is a three-year partnership bringing together the municipalities of Casey, Cardinia and Dandenong to prevent family violence. Funded by the Department of Justice, the project is modelled on the principles of the White Ribbon Campaign and focuses on men reaching out to other men. The video can be viewed on YouTube by searching ‘Challenge Family Violence’. It was uploaded by the City of Casey.

VICTORIA Police will not be drawn into pursuits by youths who steal cars from homes and try to “lure” officers into chasing them, a senior officer made clear this week. Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill addressed reporters on Tuesday in relation to the spate of car thefts occurring throughout the state, with new figures putting Victoria ahead of New South Wales for the first time in the total number of car thefts. The National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council statistics showed Victoria had a 5.6 per cent increase in the year to October, up to 14,381 from 13,620. For many months Star News has reported on a disturbing series of home burglaries in Casey in which thieves break into houses, often through unlocked doors, steal keys and use them to make off with the occupants’ cars. Changes made to policy earlier this year mean police can no longer pursue criminals on the road unless they are suspected of a crime involving serious injury, present an immediate danger to the public, or if no other means of arrest is available.
“They’re stealing these motor cars to bait police, to lure them in, or attempt to lure them into engaging in a police pursuit,” Asst Comm Robert Hill said. “And Victoria Police is very firm in its position where we’re not going to engage in that unsafe police practice, of engaging a motor car that is stolen for instance in these circumstances, driven by a 15-year-old. “A 15-year-old that’s inexperienced behind the wheel, a 15-year-old that is often drug affected.” The assistant commissioner’s comments come after a stolen car was involved earlier this month in a fatal hit and run which claimed the life of a 47-year-old Carrum Downs mother. An Endeavour Hills teenager linked to the incident was arrested last Thursday. He was charged with armed robbery and assault related offences. It’s believed the 18-year-old used the allegedly stolen BMW X5 during an armed robbery in Frankston three days before the car was involved in a crash in Mordialloc on Monday 9 November, after which victim
Amanda Matheson died in hospital. A 15-year-old teen was also remanded in custody last week in relation to the hit-and-run and will appear at a children’s court on Thursday 26 November. It’s believed the 18-year-old from Endeavour Hills allegedly pulled out a gun when he stole a Ford XR6 from Bartlett Street in Frankston South on Friday 6 November about 2.40am. He was arrested by Special Operations Group officers at a house in Gweno Avenue, Frankston, about 10.30am on Thursday 19 November. The 18-year-old was charged by the Frankston Embona Armed Robbery Task Force. “These people are brazen, these people have no regard for authority, no regard for law and order, no regard for their safety and the safety of the broader community,” Asst Comm Hill said. “They’re stealing these motor cars predominantly to commit other crimes, and crimes of violence - car jackings, armed robberies, aggravated burglaries, commercial burglaries.”
Pre-dawn highway robbery: cash gone A MAN has been attacked and had his cash stolen just after leaving a Narre Warren nightclub in the early hours of the morning. The man had left the Empire Nightclub on the Princes Highway about 3.10am on Sunday 22 November and was walk-
ing to the nearby McDonald’s when he was approached by three other men, also believed to have just left the club. The group, all described as Islander in appearance, demanded the victim’s wallet and mobile phone and then one of them hit him in the leg with a stick.
The victim handed over money and the attackers fled. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

CLYDEVALE THE CHOICE OF CLYDE NORTH UNPRECEDENTED land sales and perfect positioning see Abiwood’s ‘Clydevale’ estate leading the charge in the developing suburb of Clyde North, as it becomes the popular new location for home buyers in Melbourne’s south-east. BLOCKS have been snapped up since the development’s launch nearly a year ago in December 2014. Six stages have now sold out as buyers have recognised the pleasing combination of lifestyle and location Clydevale offers, making it the ideal new community to call home. The most recently launched land in Magenta stage 14 is in a prime location within the estate and features lots up to a generous 529 square metres, with a wide choice of frontages from 8.5m to 16m. Importantly, Clydevale’s Magenta precinct includes the new Clyde North Primary School and Sports Fields. Searching for the ideal home to complement a block of land can be a daunting process for first or second homebuyers, which is why Clydevale will house a generous and innovative 40-plus home display village boasting all the latest
designs from many of Melbourne’s best builders. Abiwood’s Clydevale incorporates three precinct areas, the Azure precinct, Magenta precinct and the soon to be released Auburn precinct - and is a dominating presence with a total area covering an impressive 80 hectares of Clyde North. Construction is well underway on the first stages of the Azure precinct, including the future display village area. An outdoors life is encouraged at Clydevale - with over 12 hectares dedicated to parks, gardens, waterways and beautifully landscaped open space. Parks, ponds and playgrounds will delight
the children, while kilometers of walking and bike tracks provide for inspiring outdoor exercise and adventure. A quality early education centre and an indoor swimming centre will add to the lifestyle. Perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from Berwick, 45 minutes from the CBD and a leisurely drive from Phillip Island Clydevale has the best of all worlds. Residents will live within walking distance of new regional shopping centres and the new Clyde North town centre (Hardys Road), and close to plenty of established amenities - including a host of excellent schools, tertiary education options and Casey Fields sporting facilities.
Clydevale is another signature project developed by Melbourne-based developer Abiwood, which is committed to creating vibrant, connected and sustainable communities - places where people can enjoy their homes, their neighborhoods and their life. Whether you’re a young couple searching for your very first home, a family seeking more space or someone who’s looking for a whole new lifestyle to enjoy, it’s all here at Clydevale.

CARNIVAL ATMOSPHERE FOR LAUNCH MORE than 1000 people attended the Waterford Rise Carnival on 14 November to celebrate the opening of 20 new display homes. The display village is the largest outside of metropolitan Melbourne and provides not only the latest home design trends but the latest interior design as well. The highlight of the day was the helicopter rides that provided a bird’s eye view of Warragul and Drouin for the lucky 72 people who won a seat in the raffle. The gala event also featured a wide variety of entertainment including a jumping castle, face painters and a petting zoo as well as a roving magician. Food was amazing from two food trucks - the curry truck and a burrito van - as well as more than 500 sausages given away to hungry revellers by the Warragul Lions Club. But the true stars of the show were the 20 homes presented by 11 of Australia’s leading builders including Metricon, J.G King, Aaron J Homes, Simonds, Red Bluff, Eco Option Homes Roseleigh Homes, Fairhaven Homes, Cheviot Homes, Green Design and Dennis Family Homes. These beautiful display homes have been arranged around Hillgrove Close providing potential buyers with an easily accessible view into the amazing choices available for today’s varied lifestyles. Land prices at the newly released Waterford Rise stage 15 range from $124,000 (473 square metres) to $206,000 (1128 square metres) as well as a range of house and land packages
from major builders including the homes in the display village. The blocks are in three courts providing an idyllic environment for families arranged around the amenities in the new Kestle Park. All blocks feature free fencing, level builder-ready lots and/or engineered retaining walls and Foxtel ready ultra-fast broadband. The display village can be accessed via Crole Drive (off the Princes Highway), Warragul (Melway reference 628 B7). If you would like to know more about the brand new Waterford Rise display village go to www.waterfordrise.com.au or call Ann Maree on 1300 737 094.

from as little as $225,000, located along the pristine beaches of Cape Woolamai. With a tiny Portsea beach box fetching a record $615,000 just last month, Woolamai House’s unique beachfront location and stunning homestead surrounds are fast earning it the title of one of Victoria’s hidden coastal hot-spots. With the construction of stage two, scheduled for completion by Christmas, Woolamai House is gearing up for the public launch of the last 22 lots from January next year in order to keep up with demand from both holiday-makers and permanent coastal residents alike. Greg Price, sales agent for Woolamai House, said the major affordability factor combined with a million dollar waterfront lifestyle had struck a chord with buyers. “We’ve had strong sales in stage one, and with the water right on your doorstep and expansive grounds surrounding Woolamai House, we’re expecting the final release of lots to be going out the door,” he said. “We are seeing a trend developing at Woolamai House with established home buyers and a 50/50 ratio of permanent residents and holiday-makers with the view to settle as end-users over a fiveto-10 year period. “Projects of this calibre and pricing are rare and it’s a huge drawcard to see premium land selling at such an affordable cost literally a stone’s throw from the sand. “Phillip Island is immensely undervalued in terms of price point, location and quality - buyers are now

seeing the huge potential in Cape Woolamai and its unrivalled lifestyle options on offer,” Mr Price said. Zoran Pavlovic, development manager for Woolamai House, said the highly anticipated release of stage two was right on schedule. “We are eagerly looking forward to the completion of stage two and expect a healthy sales surge for the next 22 lots,” he said. “We’ve fast-tracked our construction timeline which will essentially see buyers moving into their ultimate dream-home sooner rather than later,” Mr Pavlovic said. Set within the grounds of one of Phillip Island’s first homesteads, Woolamai House is a unique 68-lot development featuring an original property constructed
in 1867 by legendary Melbourne Cup horse trainer, Captain John Cleeland. The original homestead has been restored with the utmost care by the Grollo family with an expansive 1.6 hectares dedicated to open tree-lined spaces to remain on site. The Woolamai House project will eventually have a collection of quality beachside homes. Only a handful of stunning beachfront allotments remain at this prestigious coastal development. Lots range from 504 square metres to 930 square metres starting from $225,000. Woolamai House is on Grofam Court, Cape Woolamai www.woolamaihouse. com.au For more information please contact Greg Price at Alex Scott on 5952 5711.

CHRISTMAS has come early to Timbertop estate this year. Residents are getting into the Christmas spirit by lighting up their homes and giving to local families in need. The streets of Timbertop are lighting up as the festive season approaches, with residents decorating their homes with colourful Christmas lights.

The Timbertop Residents Group is also running the 'Share Your Christmas’ initiative, with the community encouraged to donate gifts for less fortunate children in the area. All gifts will go to The 4C’s Crisis Relief Centre and Windermere Child and Family Services. Both organisations
work locally to improve the physical, financial and emotional well-being of underprivileged children and families. These initiatives are just two of the many run by Parklea, the developers of Timbertop estate aiming to make a positive impact to the community, promote friendships, fun and safety. To Share Your Christmas this year, please donate a gift for a child aged anywhere up to 16 years and put it under the Christmas tree located in the sales office at Timbertop Estate, 9 Penhurst Crescent, Officer, open daily from 11am to 5pm.

Casey Mayor Sam Aziz, councillors Amanda Stapledon, Mick Morland and Wayne Smith, and guest speaker Leanne Hall with the winners and finalists of the council’s 2015 Fresh Words Young Writers Competition.
CASEY’S best young writers have put their pens to paper in 2015. Earlier this month a range of Casey’s best young writers, poets and lyricists were recognised for participating in the Fresh Words Young Writers Competition. The council received a record 288 entries this year, almost double the entries from 2014, with the nine winners of their respective categories, from year 7 to year 12, announced at a special awards ceremony on 12 November. “Fresh Words is a wonderful way in which council promotes a
positive image of our young people,” councillor Sam Aziz said. “It is a platform which highlights the creativity and writing skills of our youth, while also serving to enhance the self-esteem of applicants. “It is wonderful to see the creativity and courage of all 288 applicants who have taken the time to put pen to paper and showcase their written skills. “It is often a forgotten craft but the discipline required to formulate an engaging story or capture the imagination of readers is a skill which is only more challenging when work
is being judged.” The judges for this year’s competition were past Fresh Words award winners Danielle Kutchel and Adrian HarperGomm, former Casey Youth Action Committee member Cherise Donovan, and community book club member Rebecca Gregory. When assessing each piece the judges considered several criteria including the accuracy of spelling and grammar, how well the writer expressed his or her ideas, the vocabulary and control of the writing, and the originality of the concept.

Police raise fire alarm
Golf day delivered in spades By GEORGIA WESTGARTH THE Rotary Club of Cranbourne has raised and delivered more than $10,000 for the Touched by Olivia Foundation which designs and builds play spaces for children with and without a disability. Majority of the funds were raised through the club's annual golf day and Rotary Cranbourne committee member John Cotter said it was an outstanding finish for a fantastic cause. “It was the best result we’ve had in the last five years, and for such a worthwhile organisation for all children to be able to play together,” Mr Cotter said. There were 104 golfers on the green at the Ranfurlie Golf Course on Friday 20, and Mr Cotter said the entire Rotary club and many friends and sponsors came together to make the day. “We had 26 teams playing 18 holes for our 49th golf day,” he said. It was the club's first year raising money for the all abilities foundation which is something close to their hearts. “We helped a local mum modify her car so she could transport her child who had a disability around easily and she was the one who first told us about the Touched by Olivia Foundation,” he said.

POLICE are warning local residents to keep vigilant with the fire season looming. It comes after reports of three suspicious fires in Casey within three days this month. The first was lit at the Narre Warren quarry on Wednesday 18 November. It’s believed the fire was started from two different points of origin at the landfill station, and police are still investigating. The second fire was also in Narre Warren, two days later on Friday 20 November. It was started on a walking track next to a construction site on Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road. It’s believed a boy was seen riding a bike at the time of the incident. The third blaze was a car fire at the corner of Venables Court and Ashfield Drive in Berwick. Police and CFA members attended the fire, involving a car parked on the nature strip set alight. The fire is being treated as suspicious after a fuel can was found inside the car.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Delight in the deal By ANEEKA SIMONIS THERE are many reasons why Megan Quinn, co-founder of a $3.4 billion high-end fashion retailer, is an international success. At a recent Casey-Cardinia Business Breakfast, the 51-year-old business genius spoke on the journey that led her to birthing luxury retailer Neta-Porter. Her most important piece of advice to business operators: “move to the beat of your own drum”. Net-a-Porter was released to the world in 1999 before online retailing was commonplace. Unlike many pioneering businesses at the time, Net-a-Porter survived the dot com bust - a feat achieved by constant innovation and two-way communication with consumers. “Innovation doesn’t need to be extraordinary. You just have to do something different. Something a little beyond what the customer expects to exceed expectations,” Ms Quinn said, as she spoke to a crowd of local business owners on Wednesday 25 November. When the high-end fashion retailer, stocking everything from Alexander McQueen to Balmain, Dolce and Gabbana, Fendi and Vallentino, was launched, it was done so with no re-
search into or experience in the market. Ms Quinn described the early founding years as ‘constructive anarchy’ - explaining that dominant ideologies about the industry were ignored in the development phases in order to create “something different”. Drawing on the words of late businesswoman Anita Roddick, Ms Quinn said she has long stood by the need for uniquity: “If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.” But Net-a-Porter was not Ms Quinn’s only entrepreneurial success. In the lead up to co-founding the billion-dollar business, the strong business woman worked in advertising, started the cleaning company Partners in Grime as well as founded consultancy firm Q&Co. The daughter of a town publican, Ms Quinn admitted she learnt the ropes to operating a successful business from her dad at a young age. “I lived in pubs from a young age,” she said. “My dad showed me to lead by example. He was always fair and sometimes needed to be firm. I watched him build an authentic relationship with his staff and customers,” she said. That early insight taught her another of her most important lessons:

“You’re never too senior to pick up a broom”. Ms Quinn is now a non-executive director of UNICEF Australia and Specialty Fashion Group, and an Ambassador for Fitted for Work. She was named the 15th most powerful woman in Australian retail in 2013 by Inside Retail. Ms Quinn founded Net-a-Porter alongside three others including friend Natalie Massanet, Ms Massanet’s husband Arnaud, and Ms Quinn’s former husband Mark.

National Operations Manager of Chemmart Pharmacy Nick Monroe, Executive Director of Chemmart Pharmacy Duncan Phillips, and the Co-proprietors of Casey Central Chemmart Pharmacy Carolyn Wynen and Zoltan Toskov.
Award is the best medicine CASEY Central Chemmart must be taking the right medicine after being named the Victorian Chemmart Pharmacy of the Year for a record fifth time. Co-proprietors Carolyn Wynen and Zoltan Toskov travelled to Vietnam recently to accept the award at the National Conference on behalf of other co-proprietors Lynette Calabrese, Chris Kelly, Anthony Tassone, and the rest of the team.
“We are proud to have served our local community for 15 years and provided quality, accessible healthcare to them every day,” Mrs Wynen said. “The wellbeing of our customers is extremely important to us and it’s heartening to be recognised for our efforts to create a healthier community.” The win comes on the back of the pharmacy’s national award win in 2014.
Mrs Wynen said the award was a pleasant surprise given the pharmacy had to relocate to a smaller, temporary site this year while Casey Central Shopping Centre was being redeveloped. “It certainly has been a challenging year but we are very grateful for the strong, loyal support of our customers during the centre re-development,” she said.

4th
January
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A SELF-described ‘Migrant Team’ has staged an anti“Australian” coup during a rare board spill at a south-east based migrant resource centre. Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre chairman Brain Oates, who had migrated from the UK, was part of the victorious migrant ticket that ousted four sitting board members. Mr Oates had urged the meeting to vote for “more diversity on the board, not Australians” in the first board spill in 15 years. He later told the Journal that the Australian-born members had a “cosy relationship” with one another, a majority that marginalised other groups. “If there is one particular ethnic group that wants to take over the board, that’s a problem.” The new board members included migrants of Tamil, English, Albanian and Romanian backgrounds.
Ahead of the meeting, 10 of the 14 sitting board members undersigned a claim that Mr Oakes spread misleading statements. The 10 members denied Mr Oakes’s “incredible” claims that the board wanted to remove migrant board members and appoint only Australian professionals. “We do not engage in discriminatory attitudes and practices. “This claim is aimed at creating divisions between members based on ethnicity and professional expertise.” Mr Oakes said the new board has “new ideas and enthusiasm” - as well as a new business manager and a highprofile, spacious location in Clow Street, Dandenong - to confront a challenging future. “We need to get out there and come to terms with a brave new world.” Its funding base is more uncertain because governments
are changing to a funding model based on clients’ choice of service. In that context, the SMRC had just recorded a second consecutive financial deficit of more than $100,000 in 201415. “The truth is this organisation has to get back in the black this year,” Mr Oates told the meeting. During the year it closed its fee-for-service migration advice, and its Family Relationship Services for Humanitarian Entrants programs. Chief executive Jenny Semple said the latter program, a “unique” service in the region, was a particularly great loss. “Funding was removed from the program across the state, which is not a positive sign when we are all working towards reducing family violence in our community. “We will aim to look for other means to provide this vital service.”

HAZARA refugee and Narre Warren photojournalist Barat Ali Batoor says Muslims, refugees and asylum seekers are among those suffering from recent Islamist terrorist attacks. Mr Batoor, as guest speaker at the Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre (SMRC) AGM on 18 November, gave condolences to victims of recent atrocities including in France, Lebanon and Kenya. He also referred to seven Hazaras “brutally slaughtered” by militants in Kabul three days before the recent Paris massacres. Among the victims, who had been kidnapped several months ago, was a nine-yearold girl.
The violent groups responsible for the killings did not portray “true Islam” and would cause more challenges to refugees and asylum seekers in Europe and Australia, he said. “Real” Muslims’ lives were being adversely affected by these terrorists. Like other refugees who had fled persecution, Mr Batoor felt the “pain” that afflicted those victims and their communities. Mr Batoor’s own Hazara community had suffered persecution in Afghanistan and even in their “safe haven” in Quetta, Pakistan, for more than a century, he said. At great danger, he returned to his birth place of Quetta to document the perils his people faced.
A trailer of his resulting film Batoor: A Refugee Journey, which is soon due for international release, was shown at the AGM in Dandenong. The film shows grieving families with horrific tales such as body parts being found on top of buildings after a terrorist bomb blast, and a busload of people being attacked by gunmen. “People of the Hazara community want to find a way out of there,” Mr Batoor told the gathering. “Their story is my story.” SMRC chairman Brian Oates said Mr Batoor presented the “reality” that refugees and asylum seekers were trying to escape from. “Where do they go if you turn them away?”

Mills helps Pumas cruise By JARROD POTTER
Winning jockey Brad Rawiller gives the Pakenham Cup a kiss after scoring aboard the Darren Weir-trained Tooleybuc Kid back in April. The first spring edition of the cup will Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS take place at Racing.com Park on Sunday. 138113
All eyes will be on the cup By DAVID NAGEL THE startling evolution of the Pakenham Racing Club is set to continue on Sunday with the first spring edition of the $100,000 Bruce Clough Mazda Pakenham Cup (2000m) at Racing.com Park. First won by Mount Pleasant in 1926, the Pakenham Cup is steeped in history and has been won by some of the greats of the Australian turf. Melbourne Cup winning jockeys like Harry White, Pat Hyland, Greg Hall, Glen Boss, Blake Shinn and Damien Oliver have all hoisted the cup high, while David Hayes and David Hall are two trainers to have tasted success in both cups. The transition from the club’s traditional autumn date to spring signals the next step in the PRC’s dream of hosting a stand-alone Saturday cup meeting in 2016. Sunday’s meeting is certainly appealing to owners and trainers, with $400,000 in prizemoney up for grabs, but it could rise to beyond the magical million dollar barrier by next year. Ballarat already has a Saturday stand-alone meeting in spring, offering $1,040,000 in stakes, and the PRC is hoping to join that elite standard
when Racing Victoria confirms its dates for the 2016/17 racing season in the near future. Other highlights of the ninerace card include the $70,000 O’Connor VOBIS Gold Bullion (1400m) and the rich-in-history $40,000 David Bourke Memorial (1200m). A huge crowd, set to rival the 6500 people who turned out to watch Ripplebrook win the 1975 edition of the race, is expected to flock to Tynong to see if more local names can be added to the club’s most prestigious honour roll. From Kanuri (1937) to Coroner (1979/80), Telopia (1982) to Fendalton (1989) and from Karawin (1990) to last year’s
winner Captain Fancypantz (2014), local trainers, jockeys and connections have always thrived on the biggest stage that the PRC has to offer. The club’s marquee event is the second of two cups to be run this year, with Melbourne Cupwinning trainer Darren Weir and jockey Brad Rawiller combining to score with Tooleybuc Kid in April. A free courtesy bus from the Cardinia Club, and Pakenham and Tynong train stations, will run to the main entrance at Racing.com Park. See www.pakenhamracing.com.au for more details.
AVENGING the season-opening loss in emphatic style, Pakenham thumped one-time bully Ormond Glenhuntly in an 11-1 Sunday thrashing. It backed up Pakenham’s win over Footscray on Wednesday, having headed across the West Gate Bridge and doled out a similar dividend ... this time 11-4. Getting to unleash their import pitcher James Mills at home on Sunday, Pakenham ran away with the clash in a canter due to the mighty American’s unstoppable right arm. Mills was effectively unplayable - from his 100 pitches across the eight innings he gave up four hits with 88 strikes to boot. The visitors’ only run came from an error, highlight the strength of Pakenham’s bullpen heading into the second half of the year. The runs started flying early as Wayne Porter cleared the in-field in the second to bring home Travis Hough and Simon Ferris. From there the Pumas juggernaut continued unperturbed - smashing in another nine runs to close out the victory in eight innings. It put to rest the horror start to the year when Pakenham lost to Ormond Glenhuntly in the first round in a lacklustre performance. “Everyone’s focus was that we were going to repay the favour - everyone was keen that we would do our best to do to them what they did to us,” Pak-
James Mills was sensational in Pakenham's 11-1 rout of Ormond Glenhuntly. 147465 Pictures: GARY SISSONS
enham coach Shaun Fahy said. “It was a good game - was a carry on from the last few weeks and they’re getting through their pitches pretty quick, seeing them well and hitting the ball hard. “Haven’t had a letdown yet and we’re enjoying the positive effect from this confidence.” Fahy praised Mills’ deadeye accuracy from the mound, which allowed the batters complete freedom at the bottom of every innings. “Realistically - they only got four hits off him on the game, and got their run on errors from us,” Fahy said. “He only gave away four hits over eight innings - he pounded the strike zone and was lights out throughout the game. “It’s a lot easier to defend and put runs on the board when the pitcher is all over the opposition.” After conceding 4-1 in the first innings in the mid-week battle, Pakenham fired back
to shut the hosts down - Martin Kennedy threw most of the game and was relieved by Simon Ferris as the tandem kept Footscray from scoring after the first. Mills slugged his first home run of the year to cap off a sensational week for the Young Harris College alumnus. Having established themselves as one of the sides to beat in Division 3, the Pumas will now battle St Kilda to help push the gap out between the top two - Mulgrave and the Pumas - and the chasing pack. The reserves had nowhere near the same luck, pulverised 4-19 by Ormond Glenhuntly while the Division 4 South men were bested 1-15 by Waverley B. Fahy wanted to thank Footscray Baseball Club and the umpires for letting the Wednesday game start behind schedule, as a few Pumas were still stuck in traffic when the first pitch was due.

Captains lead by example By DAVID NAGEL THEY lead their clubs into battle with team success a priority - but three of West Gippsland cricket’s finest captains stole the individual spotlight in the Premier Division on Saturday. Tooradin’s Tom Hussey (177), Pakenham’s Dom Paynter (172) and Upper Beaconsfield skipper Scott Pitcher (7/56) took control of their side’s destiny with brilliant displays of batsmanship and leg-spin bowling on the weekend. Hussey’s highest score - of what has been a stunning WGCA career - propelled the Seagulls (5/275dec) into an impregnable position against association cellar-dwellers Cranbourne Meadows (3/60). Quick runs were the order of the day for the Seagulls, who are looking to inflict the Rebels third consecutive outright defeat. And Hussey delivered in his own inimitable fashion, smashing 14 fours and three mighty sixes with Michael Ralph (49) and former skipper Aaron Avery (20) enjoying the best seats in the house. “It was a very selfless knock - he always puts the team first,” Avery said of his great mate's epic innings. Josh Lownds (2/16) and Matt Welsh
That sickening feeling descends on Pakenham’s Jason Williams after being clean-bowled for 2 by Merinda Picture: ROB CAREW Park’s Jason Toan on Saturday. 147286 (1/8) made some critical late breakthroughs for the Seagulls after Will Cloney (26) and Wayne Diss (16) had the Rebels off to a solid start.

from a dodgy start, this time against Merinda Park at Donnelly Reserve. For the fourth time this season the undefeated Lions recovered from a precarious position, with 4/44, 7/57 and 3/39 in previous rounds the precursor to Saturday’s 4/44 score line.
But Paynter and the in-form Rob Elston (91) resurrected the Lions’ innings, the pair blazing a glorious 269run trail for the fifth wicket. Paynter’s dominance was exemplified by his 12 fours and six maximums - and the fact that he raced from his
century to 150 in just 16 minutes at the crease! “I’ve played footy with him for a long time and always followed his cricket career, and it was just a privilege to be out there with him,” Paynter said of his partnership with Elston. Jason Toan (3/44) was the sole destroyer for the Cobras. Upper Beaconsfield has a stack of work to do to make Pitcher’s efforts worthwhile after Kooweerup (259) compiled a more-than-useful score at Denham’s Road. Chris Bright (61) and Chris O’Hara (36) were solid at the summit for the Demons before Pitcher got on a roll, claiming three quick wickets, to bring his side back into the contest. But evergreen performer Matt Davey (83) -who walked to the crease at 5/138 - controlled the tempo of the Demons’ innings to give his side the upper hand heading into day two. And finally, Nathan Copey (33 not out), AJ Walker (31) and Trent Rolfs (28) were the main contributors to Emerald’s (179) patient vigil against Cardinia at Chandler Reserve. Bulls’ coach Dwayne Doig (4/55) was joined by skipper Neil Barfuss (2/27) and Dean Henwood (2/40) in applying immense pressure to the Bombers for the course of their jour-
In the corridors of power By RUSSELL BENNETT THE Pakenham Silverbacks are fresh off Gridiron Victoria championship glory, they’ve got a new home field and they are in one of the biggest growth corridors in Australia. So, they’re not in the usual situation of clubs on the hunt for a new senior coach. Whoever takes the reins from outgoing mentor Paul Tindall will be walking into a club that could explode into a league powerhouse long before many predicted. After all, no one gave the Silverbacks a snowball’s chance in hell of winning this year’s division two title in just their second season of existence. Tindall took the helm after Pakenham’s debut season and led the side to a memorable title win over the Monash Barbarians this year. But he recently told the Silverbacks that he was unable to continue in his role. “Paul’s leaving on good terms; he has an ongoing injury that will limit his involvement in gridiron so he decided it was in the club’s, as well as his own, best interests that he let us know early that he will not continue coaching,” Silverbacks co-founder, championshipwinning player and president Richie Howlett said. “While it’s unfortunate that he’s leaving, we wish him all the best and hope he can enjoy spending more time with his family. “He used to travel an hour each way, twice a week to coach us which shows just how serious he was.” The Silverbacks are now looking to capitalise on the momentum they gathered in their championship-winning 2015 season and, if the right coaching candidate steps forward and
David Bransdon, right, was all smiles after shooting a seven-under par 64 to take out the 2014 Pakenham Pro-Am. 114215 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT
Pros who go with the flow
The Pakenham Silverbacks are on the hunt for a new coach after championship-winning mentor Paul Tindall stepped Picture: COURTESY OF JULIE BELSHAM down.143259 the league ratifies the move, a step up into division one isn’t completely off the cards. “We’ve also got women’s and juniors (teams) training for a February start,” Howlett said. “The juniors finished last season tied for third place and are looking to come back strong, (and the) women’s is picking up momentum. “We are also halfway through a youth program that has seen up to 30 kids between the ages of six and 14 learning
the basic skills of gridiron.” For Tindall, this season marked his second successive division two title having guided the Gippsland Gladiators to glory last year. As he held the trophy aloft in the middle of the field at the Latrobe City Sports and Entertainment Stadium in Morwell after the nine-six triumph over the Barbarians, he thanked the Silverbacks and their committee for the opportunity to be involved in “a true club”.
AN IN-FORM field of professionals will take to the Pakenham Golf Club on Friday for the 2015 Pakenham Pro-Am. And they will all be aiming to match the brilliant effort of David Bransdon who shot a sevenunder 64 to take out last year’s title. National Pro-Am rankings leader Mitchell Brown will be joined by New Zealand’s Mathew Perry, the winner of last week’s event at Long Island, with Ben Ford and Luke Hickman coming off placings at the same event. Hickman leads the Order of Merit on the PGA’s Southern Swing where Pro-Ams in South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria are all included. Victoria’s Euan Walters sits second on the Southern Swing and can overtake Hickman by taking home the Lion’s share of the $11,000 purse on offer. The Pakenham Pro-Am, now in its 15th year, is the longest running event of its kind in country Victoria. There are still limited spaces available for corporates or individuals interested in taking part in what’s sure to be a highlight of the Pro-Am circuit. Contact Jason at the club on 5941 2929 for more details. Spectators are most welcome and entry is free.

Well, this XDS is exceptionally light, easy to use ,and importantly it looks great! Kids often struggle with a heavy bike with big fat tyres that are great offroad, but resist rolling on the bike paths and paved surfaces that most kids ride on. The Strike has some very appealing features for young children. First, as I said before the bike is exceptionally light. The frame is made of X6 aluminium, made stronger, so that the frame can be made stronger while using less materials, resulting in a frame that is very light, yet stronger than similar, heavier frames. Then, this frame is painted and baked, VR WKDW WKH ÂżQLVK QRW RQO\ ORRNV JUHDW EXW LV tough. So tough that it will resist scratching and even deterioration from being left out in the back \DUG 1RW WKDW RXU NLGV ZRXOG GR WKDW 7KH ÂżQLVK is available in 3 appealing colours for boys and 4 colours for girls.You can see for yourself, the bikes look great.
The gears use more expensive levers than is generally available on kids bikes. The result is a lighter action, that is much easier for small hands to manage. There are only 8 gears, but the range is ideal for most areas. The advantages are simplicity, as there is only one shift lever to manage, less cost, and lighter weight. All important features. The tyres are suitable for either paved or loose surfaces. They will roll well on bitumen, but are capable of being taken on rough tracks. Of course they are not as good as a fatter, heavier tyre for more serious off-road, but few kids really need that. If yours do, then the Strike 4.0 is a better choice. There are a few basic items that rate a PHQWLRQ 7KH ELNH LV ÂżWWHG ZLWK D VWDQG $QG WKH saddle. It is so comfortable compared to many other brands. Byk is the only brand that can compare with this bike for lightweight and features.
T
hese days most bikes have suspension, at least 21 gears and are quite heavy. It’s not always what a young girl would prefer, its simply what the manufacturers think is desired. Xds have gone against this trend, as have Byk and built some modelsl with younger kids in mind. This bike has an extra light frame, a good quality gear system with strong light wheels. The emphasis is clearly on simplicicty and ease of riding. And it works. This bike simply rolls along easily, and it is light to lift, simple to manouver and very easy to pedal up hills or along the bike paths. It is so light and easy the kids will love it. Kids frames are usually made from FKHDSHU DOXPLQLXP ZKLFK LV ¿QH LW LV PRUH WKDQ adequate for anything most kids will do. But it can
be a little heavy. These frames are made of higher quality aluminium, which makes a lighter frame that is just as strong. The handlebars have lots of adjustment, so that you can raise them as your child grows, or, IRU OHVV FRÂżGHQW NLGV WKH KDQGOHEDUV FDQ EH NHSW relatively high, so that they can sit upright. The tyres have less rolling resistance WKDQ WKRVH JHQHUDOO\ ÂżWWHG WR NLGV ELNHV MXVW WR KHOS them roll easier. Just makes it a little easier for the kids to keep up with stronger riders. Paintwork is simple, just a high quality baked enamel,that appeals to kids(hopefully) and is ideal for those times our kids forget to put their bikes away. Not that your kids would do that!
