What a day for knights

The event was a huge success. Picture - Rachel Flynn.

By Mitchell Clarke Almost 10,000 people flocked to Lardner Park to be transformed to medieval times and witness the World Jousting Championship. The unique event boasted the opportunity for revellers to enjoy the action of knights, horses and a medieval village fitted with traders. Record numbers across the world tuned in to watch the event through live stream. For more on the event, check out the current edition of the Pakenham Gazette.

Community’s loss By Mitchell Clarke The Lakeside community bank in Pakenham shut its doors on Friday 31 May after directors and shareholders decided to cease operations as the future of the bank became no longer viable. The bank re-opened in Lakeside on Monday 3 May as a Bendigo and Adelaide Bank branch instead. Lakeside Residents Group president Wendy Andrews said the decision was likely caused by the changing nature of the way people bank. “Banking is changing and people are changing the way they are doing it,” Ms Andrews said. “More people are using online banking, they’re now getting their money out at the

shops. The branches just aren’t being supported as they used to be.” In a post sharing the news to the Lakeside Residents Group Facebook page, comments from residents suggested the overall community consensus was sadness at the closure. “It will be a real loss to our community with the bank’s core purpose to assist the community with financial support and grants,” one Facebook user wrote. “Unfortunately the banks generosity is only available with the support of the community itself.” Another user said they tried to support the community bank, however when it came to refinancing, the bank was higher than other options. “Couldn’t afford to support it any longer,”

the comment said. “The service has always been outstanding and it will be sad to see it go.” The community branch opened its doors in August 2010 after the Lakeside community development forum and residents worked tirelessly for three years to bring the project to light. In its time, the bank has supported many local groups including the Lakeside residents group, Scout group and sailing club. Ms Andrews said that no customers were affected by the closure, with people’s accounts remaining the same. “The only difference I can notice is that the bank won’t be able to give the community the support that the community bank did,“ Ms Andrews said.

The old 'Lakeside Community Branch Bank sign has been removed. 194333 “It is sad that the community and majority of shareholders didn’t have their banking business with their own local community bank. “It would have made a huge difference.”

Favourite holiday spot in Australia? After many years of enjoying a holiday there, it

has to be Cowes on Phillip Island. If you were PM for a day, what would you do? Provide education with the necessary funding to properly resource schools, particularly those schools in areas of need, with a pyschologist, intervention and adequate facilities.

health care system for the entire community. According to government figures, 45 per cent of metropolitan emergency department presentations are non-urgent. Tiny Hearts has also compiled statistics from participants, illustrating the importance of teaching the critical first aid skills. After the course, 98 per cent of parents said they felt more confident to act effectively in an emergency. Almost 50 per cent reported that they had used their acquired infant and child first aid knowledge within six months of undertaking the course. Narre Warren's Shelby Cooke, who performed CPR on her choking two-year-old daughter while paramedics rushed to their home, stressed the importance of first aid training. She believes that had she not received the course through her workplace, her daughter may have suffocated. "I still owe everything to having those skills," she said. "The more people that are equipped with them, the less tragedies we're going to see with children, babies and toddlers. "It's such a frightening thing to go through - so you need to be prepared." The free sessions will be held across the region, including at Beaconhills College, in Pakenham. Topics covered will include choking, fevers, convulsions, burns, drowning, bleeding, caring for an unconscious person, bites and stings and head injuries. Parents or caregivers interested in undertaking the free training can sign up by heading to: www.tinyheartsfirstaid.com/fundedcourse.

Hearts to help

A lifesaving Pakenham-based venture, spearheaded by a paramedic and a teacher, has received a federal cash injection to provide free first aid training throughout Melbourne's south-east. Tiny Hearts - founded by sisters Rachael Waia and Nikki Jurcutz - will arm 1800 local parents and carers with the skillsets required to save their children in the event of an emergency. In a regional first, 300 parents are also set to be trained bilingually, catering for Chinese and Afghan communities. Their journey began in a garage, but Tiny Hearts now has a headquarters in Pakenham's Industrial Park - proving that business success is attainable under the most challenging circumstances. Ms Waia, a former educator and volunteer first responder, was first aid trained when she was just 15 years old. She is determined to share her vital knowledge with as many parents as possible. "I've got two kids of my own and I know what it's like when they choke and when they're really sick," she said. "Because we've got such a good report built with our parents, we get a lot of feedback where they say, hey, you literally saved our babies' lives. "I love what I do - waking up and making a difference." Tiny Hearts worked in conjunction with the South East Melbourne Primary Health Network to secure the federal grant. The organisation also hopes to reduce the number of inappropriate admissions to the emergency department and create a better

IN BRIEF

A sting in this tale By Danielle Kutchel There's a buzz around Hampton Park, and it's not just the anticipation of the long-awaited upgrade of Hallam Road. Workers investigating an abandoned house near the corner of South Gippsland Highway and Evans Road, which is set to be demolished to upgrade the intersection, discovered two active bee hives - complete with about 6000 busy bees - in the walls of the property. A beekeeper was duly called to safely collect and rehome the family of pollinators. Ben Moore, from Ben's Bees, said it looked like the stripy invertebrates had been inside the weatherboard property for a long time. "Judging by the colour of the wax I'd say at least five or more years, but realistically I'd say 10 because these combs were very black, which says to me that it's very old." Interestingly, it looked like the bees had used their location to their advantage, feasting on leftovers from the nearby tip. "Someone must have thrown out some strawberry syrup or topping in the tip. All of a sudden, the bees have gone 'there's not many flowers around, we need to bring some food in', and they collected the topping and mixed it with their honey," Mr Moore explained. After being dosed with smoke to "chill out" the bees, Mr Moore pulled the weatherboards off the property to expose the hives and put the combs into a Langstroth hive for management. Complicating matters was the presence of asbestos in the roof, close to the hive. Nearly 8kg of honey and honeycomb was also

extracted, with the honeycomb set to be reintroduced to the hive to assist with its growth in the future. Mr Moore said he will ensure the bees are healthy and disease-free before being introduced to a new home in the Yarra Valley, where he expects them to pollinate berries. He said it was one of the most interesting hive removals he had been called to manage, adding to an impressive list of achievements. "The weirdest one I've seen was in a red light at an intersection ... and I've done speakers, and trolleys at shopping centres over the years."

The Hallam Road Upgrade will add a new lane in each direction for 1.2km between Ormond Road and the South Gippsland Highway in Hampton Park. Site preparations are continuing with temporary bans are in place for drivers travelling onto South Gippsland Highway from Hallam Road and for traffic turning onto Hallam Road from South Gippsland Highway. Major works to build the extra lane on Hallam Road will begin in mid-2019 and are expected to be completed in 2020.

Roads on top of Woodâ€™s agenda By Brendan Rees

Man assaulted after leaving bus Police are appealing for the public's help after a man's phone was taken in an alleged robbery in Narre Warren on Tuesday 7 May. It's believed a bandit boarded the route 834 bus from Narre Warren Railway Station about 8.20pm, before following the victim off the bus at Saxonwood Drive a short time later and assaulting him. Police have released CCTV images of a man who they believe may be able to assist with their inquiries. The man is perceived to be of African appearance and about 183cm tall with a thin build and short black hair. He was wearing dark pants, dark shoes, and a navy "Fila" jumper with red and white strips running down the sleeves. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Picture: BRENDAN REES torian Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan next week to discuss each project as "it would make sense for them to be considered as one job lot." "These projects have to obviously fit in with their construction time frames," he said. "We've all got to work together and just lay out a plan ahead to get them done as fast as possible," he said. "Our money is there, it's ready to be deployed, and we just get on with the job."

Mr Wood said medical staff at Casey Hospital and St John of Hospital had approached him, saying the mental stress and anxiety after work was exacerbated when being stuck in traffic on Kangan Drive. "I'm very focused on this. We need this to be done at the same time as the Clyde Road upgrade," he said. "For me this should all be going ahead next year." Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said "it couldn't be a better plan."

Newly re-elected Federal member for La Trobe Jason Wood has been quick at work, declaring to roll-out his congestion package election promise "as soon as possible." Mr Wood called a meeting with the Federal Minister for Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure Alan Tudge and Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon on Monday 3 June to discuss a number of projects totalling $77.5 million, which will tackle some of the most congested intersections and roads in Casey and Cardinia.Mr Wood hopes by working with the State Government all projects can be "bundled up" and delivered at the same time. "All we want them to do is work with us, to deliver the funding we have in the budget and get on with it," he said. The projects include Berwick train station upgrade which will create an extra 500 car spaces; the Clyde Road/Kangan Drive upgrade; Clyde Road/Monash Freeway interchange upgrade, and building a brand new Emergency Children's Department at Casey Hospital. The Federal Government also aims to consolidate the State Government's Clyde Road level crossing removal project, and the Berwick station bus interchange project as one. Mr Tudge said he would meet with the Vic-

Police hope to identify this man.

Drone law dumped By Andrew Cantwell

Charm with her new prosthetic leg.

Lucky Charm finds welcome new home By Brendan Rees A three-legged pup, who was rescued from an abusive owner and taken into the care of a Lyndhurst woman, has found a new home. Debra Jeff of Lyndhurst had been fostering Charm, believed to be a Catahoula/Whippet since January, who had arrived at a shelter underweight and with a missing front leg. Charm underwent an operation at a Vet clinic in Whittlesea about a month ago and received a prosthetic leg.

A nurse, who took Charm under her wing, "actually got to know her really well, and wanted to adopt her," Ms Jeff said. "We had a few misses with her because when they did the operation they had to take the elbow off, and the stitches kept bursting so she had to keep going back and getting restitched, she said. "The third time she went back to be restitched we decided it would be best if she stayed there so they could keep an eye on her daily.

"They've made the first prototype, and she's now learning how to stand in it and then she'll go on how to walk in it. "She's progressed really nicely," Ms Jeff said. She said an 83-year-old Pakenham man at the Cardinia Retirement Village had initially adopted Charm but realised he wasn't able to look after her in the way that she needed to be. A GoFundMe page, which appealed to the public to make a donation, helped make Charm's operation possible.

Casey City Council’s well-intentioned but illconceived drone local-law will be dumped from the books. The local-law was brought into effect at the beginning of 2018 - and flew straight into controversy, stepping into CASA regulated space and earning the ire of recreational drone flyers across Melbourne. It had been adopted in an effort to protect people’s privacy from backyard-launched quadcopters equipped with cameras -and to deter deliberate harassment from ex-partners, stalkers and others with a less than noble purpose - be preventing people launching a drone from private property within Casey. A report by council officers in February 2018 indicated the local-law may never be enforcable. By June that year, a meeting had been held with amateur and professional drone groups; and by September the acting CEO had granted sweeping exemptions to anyone affected by the local-law, the council acknowledged the locallaw had failed in its intent and the decision was made to remove the provision from local laws. At Tuesday night’s council meeting, another matter requiring a change to the council’s Community Local Law 2018 allowed them to also quietly drop the drone restrictions. The local-law amendments will now go on public display and any submissions will be considered by the council before the revised local-law can be approved.

Casey Council has voted to axe its short-lived drone local-law.

On Tuesday 4 June, an article was shared on Cranbourne Star News about a family in the Hunt Club Estate in Cranbourne East who say school zoning changes have excluded them from Cranbourne East Secondary School. Here is how our readers responded online: Mell Rose: Have not heard one good thing about the school since it's been build. I drive from Hampton Park to Cranbourne every day for my son to go to school at a decent school. For 4 years before that I drove out to Devon meadows primary every day. Just because closer doesn't mean better Jacinta Parkinson: Quote: Minister for Education James Merlino said: "Every child has the right to enrol at their closest government school." Doesn't every child also have the right to attend the school that best suits him/her? Our zoned school certainly doesn't provide that for my son. Claire Waite: If you live in the bloody estate where the school is your children go to the primary school right next door this is wrong on so many levels why are we always confined to one school why don't we get to have a choice where our children get an education Sam Holloway: We had a similar issue trying to enrol our son in Cranbourne East Primary school. It was deemed out of zone to us, yet our older kids were in zone for the high school next door. We have to actually travel further from home so our youngest can attend primary in Clyde instead. We live in Cranbourne East. It's ridiculous! Jennie Range: It's happening in a lot of places as the zoning for Berwick Sec has moved and people who have recently moved to be in the zone are now actually out of zone. Mich Elle: This has always been the case.. It's not a new thing. Joanne Van Rijn-Portelli: The area is growing need another new high school. pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Narre Warren SES was called to assist police after a car ploughed into the lounge room of home in Eumemmerring on Monday morning, 3 June. Police have been told a Volkswagen Golf hatch-back, which was stolen from an address in Hawthorn, crashed into the front lounge room of a house on Doveton Avenue about 1.30am. The house occupants, a 47-year-old man, a 44-year-old woman, an 18-year-old man and

a 10-year-old boy, escaped injury. The house however, sustained structural damage. The driver of the car left the scene prior to police arrival. The cause of the crash is yet to be determined and the search for the driver continues. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the theft of the vehicle.

A Narre Warren grandmother's faith in humanity has been restored after losing a gift she had purchased for her daughter whose home burned down. Pam thought she had lost all hope after leaving behind the gift, being an electric blanket, near a bench outside Coles at Fountain Gate shopping centre on Tuesday morning, 7 May. But to her relief she received a welcome phone call from Fountain Gate centre management offering her a $100 Westfield gift voucher. "I was really pleasantly surprised," the pensioner said. "At first I thought it was to say that someone had handed in the electric blanket." Pam, who asked not to publish her surname, said the electric blanket was intended as a gift for her daughter who "lost everything" after her home burned down following a fire last November. She caught a taxi home with her husband from the centre but said "it didn't event twig that I didn't have the blanket." Pam said she called centre management but had no luck retrieving the item. She said she was "quite surprised" to receive the phone call on Wednesday 29 May. "That was so nice and thoughtful of them; it restores faith in human nature ... so will treat myself to something soon."

Energetic morning tea By Danielle Kutchel The team at Casey North Community Information and Support Service held an energising Biggest Morning Tea recently to raise money for the Cancer Council. Staff, volunteers and special guests gathered with homemade treats for a competition to decide the coveted title of best baker on the day which was taken out by executive officer Susan Magee. As well as the right to brag about their baking prowess, the winner received a small baking kit to get started on next year’s attempt. A raffle also got people into the spirit and helped push up the total amount raised. Two members from Narre Warren police station dropped by to fuel up too, along with Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon and Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan. Ms Magee said the turnout was great to see and said the morning tea was something of a tradition for the group. “We’ve been doing the Biggest Morning Tea for close to 20 years. It’s a really good cause to assist raising money for the Cancer Council, and we’re always about supporting other chari-

ties where we can. “It’s a really good opportunity to network and get the community to come together. It’s very informal, social, and it’s a bit of fun!” As Minister for Volunteers, Mr Donnellan said he was pleased to support the group. “These guys do such a marvellous job and contribute enormously to our community, whether it be helping with financial budgeting or whether it be help referring people to services they need. If we didn’t have the volunteers ... people wouldn’t be able to get the dignity they deserve.”

Casey cracks down on underage tobacco sales Tobacco retailers in the City of Casey are doing their bit to reduce the uptake of smoking by minors. Following a blitz on tobacco retailers, Casey's environmental health officers visited 47 tobacco premises recently and reported no sales of cigarettes made to people under the age of 18. City of Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon said that Council's environmental health officers undertake routine tobacco test purchasing across the municipality, specifically targeting tobacco retailers to ensure strict compliance with the Tobacco Act 1987.

The testing was conducted by Council's environmental health services contractor, Kernow Environmental Services Pty td. "It is pleasing to report that no sales of cigarettes were made to minors during this blitz, compared to previous years where seven sales were recorded in 2018 and three sales in 2017," Cr Stapledon said. "These are encouraging signs that retailers understand the importance of asking a person for proof of age, before selling cigarettes to someone. "Stopping the sale of cigarettes to minors in

their adolescent years is important, as according to the Cancer Council of Victoria about 1 in 8 cancer deaths in Australia can be attributed to smoking, with more than 15,000 Australians diagnosed with a smoking-related cancer each year." Retailers and person's selling tobacco to a minor who are found to be breaking the law risk receiving infringements ranging from $645 - $9,671, prosecution in a Magistrates Court and/or a fine ranging from $19,343 - $96,714, and the loss of their right to sell tobacco. Friday 31 May celebrated World No Tobacco

Day with the World Health Organisation campaigning to increase awareness on the negative impacts that tobacco has on people's lung health. People concerned about retailers selling to people under the age of 18 should contact Council on 9705 5200 or the DHHS Tobacco Information Line on 1300 136 775. Information on tobacco laws is available on the Health. Vic website. The program was funded by the Department of Health and Human Services via the Municipal Association of Victoria.

Thanks go to those with vision to help Some of the South East's most dedicated volunteers have been recognised by leading blindness and low vision service provider Vision Australia. Vision Australia Melbourne South East Region, held its annual volunteer recognition ceremony in Berwick this week, acknowledging the numerous volunteers that give up their time each week to support the region's blind and low vision community. The event saw individuals marking one, three and 25 years of volunteering receive service pins acknowledging their milestones. Jean Phibbs was one volunteer who received a 25-year service pin. "We take our vision for granted and I thought about how very lucky I have been, so I decided to become a volunteer because it is a wonderful way to help put back in to society," Ms Phibbs said. "I have assisted Vision Australia clients with their day-to-day tasks such as shopping, accounts, cooking, as well as taking them to the movies, even sorting coloured wools for a client who knits." While she has been formally recognised for more than 25 years of service, Jean's volunteer journey began earlier, having regularly done reading for a law student with low vision. "The courage shown every day by people who are blind or have low vision greatly inspire me to keep volunteering and helping others." Vision Australia regional business manager Janet Lloyd-McNelis said the annual celebration was an important event.

Raising awareness of men’s biggest killer

A new sports and entertainment for Cranbourne was announced for Cranbourne Turf Club last October.

$2m windfall for turf club The Cranbourne Turf Club (CTC) has welcomed a $2 million funding boost from Casey Council to transform a former betting ring into a 1400-seat convention centre. This is on top of CTC securing a $4.95 million loan from the State Government. Councillors voted at their 21 May meeting to provide the funding which will be sought from the recent land sale of 22-40 O'Tooles Road, Cranbourne. Casey Council expects the community to receive up to a $2 million return through reduced venue hire for Casey-based not-forprofit organisations and other council functions. The project, which is tipped to be completed later this year, will create about 185 jobs during construction and provide a further 235

jobs on an ongoing basis. Cranbourne Turf Club chief executive Neil Bainbridge said the club was delighted with council's support. He said the three-way partnership with the State Government and Casey Council was fantastic in delivering a "significant piece of infrastructure." "It's a really exciting project, and one that's been in the planning now for a number of years, and it's terrific to be able to move forward," he said. "It will create not only economic developments in the area; it's going to create jobs which is important. "We're delighted as a club to be able to add this this important infrastructure out here at the races which is very well set up to be able to accommodate it," Mr Bainbridge said.

This Men's Health Week, it's important to address the biggest killer in men: cardiovascular disease. Also known as heart disease, cardiovascular disease is Australia's leading single cause of death, leading to a death in Australia every 28 minutes. Heart disease is often a lifestyle disease and as such includes risk factors around the food you eat, the amount of alcohol you drink as well as how regularly you exercise and whether you smoke. But cardiovascular disease doesn't need to be a death sentence. For many Australians, making simple lifestyle changes can help reduce their risk of disease, such as eating a diet rich in fruits and grains or getting thirty minutes of exercise a day. To encourage awareness of cardiac health and also discuss the warning signs and symptoms of heart disease, St John of God Hospital Berwick is hosting a free seminar led by renowned general and interventional cardiologist Dr James Sapontis. Dr Sapontis is a leader in the field of complex coronary intervention and a clinical researcher at MonashHeart as well as a principal investigator in many clinical trials into cardiovascular disease. The event, taking place on the 11th of June at 5.30PM in St John of God's Granada Conference Room, will also include an opportunity for attendees to get a professional answer on any questions they may have regarding cardiac health. If you are interested in attending the free seminar, contact Gillian Coyle on (03)87845029 or email Gillian.Coyle@sjog.org.au.

Loving village life Liz and John Clark moved into their home in Main Street Village, Pakenham, three years ago and couldn’t be happier. “We love it here, “said Liz. “We chose Pakenham because Main Street Village ticked all our boxes, “she explained. “We wanted a home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage that was close to public transport. “ The couple, who has been married for 39 years, downsized from their family home in Wantirna. John, a retired teacher, had worked in the Latrobe Valley so the couple was familiar with Pakenham. “We like the area. It still feels like a country town but you have access to medical services, transport and shopping all within walking distance,“ said Liz. The couple participate in many of the social activities on offer at Main Street Village, which includes a coffee club, monthly egg and bacon breakfasts which raise money for charity, a craft group, bowls both indoor and out, a book club, library, card games and line dancing. Liz said the visiting hairdresser was “brilliant“ while residents can also access the services of a podiatrist and nurse among other health professionals. John said fellow residents are friendly and caring. “The support systems are great. When I was admitted to hospital people made sure Liz was okay, bringing her food and checking up on her. No one asked them to do it. “We also liked the fact that because it is built on the site of a school the village can’t get any bigger. We also like that the streets are not straight. It has a homely feel like any village or town.”

Liz and John Clark outside their home in Main Street Villlage. The couple say people thinking of downsizing to a retirement community should not hesitate. There are still homes available at Main Street Village, including six apartments on the first floor of the clubhouse. Starting at $280,000

the apartments offer a full sized kitchen, two double bedrooms, a laundry and spacious open plan living and dining that flows to a generous balcony. For more information contact 1800 770 222.

Retired Australians want financial security and peace of mind but feel locked into ‘gambling’ their life savings on sharemarket-dominated superannuation. That is a key finding of research launched by National Seniors Australia 'Feeling financially comfortable? What retirees say', pointing to a failure of the superannuation system to help retirees safely convert their savings into reliable income that will last for life. The research revealed a clear conflict between stated risk appetite and revealed investment behaviour, with more than 25% of retirees who claim they can’t tolerate a loss of more than 5% investing all their retirement savings in the sharemarket, with another 43% investing some of their savings. National Seniors CEO, Professor John McCallum, said these findings revealed the conflict experienced by many retirees, particularly post-GFC, who felt they had little option but to continue to ‘gamble’ with their savings in the sharemarket, despite having a low tolerance for risk. “When members reach retirement, the risk of managing their superannuation savings shifts from the super fund trustee to the retiree who may have little experience with this,” Professor McCallum said. “It is both a clear opportunity and a responsibility for the superannuation sector and government to reset the regulatory and product focus of superannuation to better meet the needs of Australian retirees.” The study found those who had secure income for life, such as those with defined benefit pensions, had higher levels of financial comfort than those with market-linked retirement savings. Previous National Seniors research found 84% of respondents said regular and constant income in retirement was very important to them.

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region

Tech start-up moves fast By Narelle Coulter Berwick software engineer Dr Saiyi Li and his colleagues are using their tech skills to help improve the lives of those with movement disorders. Dr Li is one of the brains behind tech startup Bayes Tech, a tele-rehabilitation platform. Dr Li’s passion and commitment to the project impressed judges who chose Bayes Tech as the winner of the inaugural INNovation Crowd Pitchfest held at Bunjil Place at the end of April. The Bayes Tech team also includes Dr Wei Yin Leong, an electronics engeineering specialist, and Dr Yee Siong Lee, a data scientist. “The idea for Bayes Tech originated from our study,“ explained Dr Li. “During our study, we realised that physiotherapy is important for people with movement disorders, injury and so on. However, some people find it hard to access rehabilitation resources, especially those living in rural areas. So we decided to develop a platform with the hope of helping therapists, patients and everyone who may need it." Bayes Tech has three aims: to save therapists time, make tedious rehab exercises fun and improve communication between therapists and patients. “We take advantage of advanced technology to automatically assess the physical performance of individuals at home similar as that in hospitals and make boring exercises fun, like playing computer games," Dr Li explained. “Therapists can review their patients’ performance and adjust treatment plans anytime, anywhere. More importantly, we try to build a platform that can be easily used by everyone.“ In Australia the number of hospitalisations for rehabilitation care increased from 355,000 in 2013-14 to 455,000 in 2016/17. Dr Li believes Bayes Tech could significantly reduce these numbers. “We have seen so many people with movement disorders in different age groups. My grandfather actually suffered from Parkinson’s Disease and could not do many of the activities of daily living," Dr Li said. “It is so sad to see people sitting in a wheelchair but cannot move their bodies. Physiotherapy is helpful to improve their abilities, but the resources are limited. We believe everyone has the right to enjoy a high quality life. Therefore, we try to use our knowledge and skills to develop a platform to provide help to more individuals with such needs and try to optimise the limited medical resources as much as we can.“

The innovators behind Bayes Tech, Dr Saiyi Li and Dr Yee Siong Lee. The team hope to have the first version of the product launched before the end of the year. INNovation Crowd leaders Chris Hall and Judy Pridmore are helping mentor the trio. “It was great to be part of Pitchfest. Pitchfest opened a window to show our idea to the world so that we can get more attention and help, which contributes enormously to our growth."

Dr Li said one of the most challenging aspects of getting Bayes Tech off the ground was gathering feedback and suggestions from therapists and patients. “ We are looking for collaboration with therapists in physical rehabilitation section to improve our system as fast as we can. “In 12 months, we intend to have our pilot program launched and can then start bring benefit to patients and therapists."

In five years time, Dr Li would like to see the platform used around the world. “We will collaborate with therapists to provide better physical rehabilitation services to patients and also with research centres to develop better assessments and exercises," he said. “The reason we know it will succeed is because we love what we are doing, we work hard to achieve our outcomes and we believe our product can help many people in need.“

Leading the right way pays dividends in development Shelley Flett is an expert in leadership development and team performance, with over a decade of experience in operations and call centres across banking and telecommunications. Shelley is the Author of ‘The Dynamic Leader: Become the leader others are inspired to follow’. This month she writes exclusively for Grow on leadership. For most managers and business owners their first ‘leadership’ experience is often running frontline teams - the staff who have direct contact with your customers and influence the experience, reputation and loyalty to your business. In the early stages of your role as a leader, you’re likely to be ineffective as you try to figure out what to do, often with minimal guidance and support. And you may not consider this is an issue. What’s interesting, according to a Study of Australian Leadership, is that “frontline leadership effectiveness has a positive and significant relationship with employee engagement”. So while you’re trying to figure out how to lead you’re impacting the performance of your

Author and leadership expert, Shelley Flett. staff and the performance of the business. Despite this reality, training and development for first-time leaders continues to be significantly under invested in. In the absence of training and development you are likely to have a natural preference for either: People and building relationships. You may prioritise people over task and tend to focus on building relationships with your team. Or… Delivering outcomes. You prioritise task over people and tend to focus on getting things

done. You move with purpose and always appear busy. What staff today want is a leader who is inspiring, cares about people and is interested in growth and development. This means, as a leader, you must be intentional in your actions and be aware of what’s going on around you, rather than simply doing what’s automatic. In my book I share the importance of leaders nurturing relationships as well as driving performance. One must not come at the expense of the other. For new leaders in particular, the concept of finding a balance between people and task can become overwhelming. I share three core components for leaders to focus on: investing in relationships; inspiring respect; and influencing results. Invest in Relationships The first priority for a leader is to develop, deepen and nurture relationships with their staff. Be authentic and take a genuine interest in who they are as people, not just employees. Inspire Respect The second priority for a leader is to earn the respect of their staff. This involves seeing other perspectives and acknowledging that there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ ways of doing

things, just different. When leaders can swap judgement for curiosity and take on different views and opinions, they let go of their tight grip on reality and become open to possibility. Influence Results The third priority is to empower staff to perform at their best. According to the study more than 40% of Australian workplaces “are not meeting their performance targets for return on investment and profitability”. This supports the need for clear objectives, realistic timeframes and a commitment to deliver on their promise. Leader need to hold their staff accountable for their commitments and create the right environment, support and encouragement for them to learn and grow. Development is critical for leaders at any level to ensure their focus isn’t in just one area. Leaders who are balanced in their approach and intentional about what they do will inspire others to follow and will learn to ‘do different’ rather than ‘do more’. ‘The Dynamic Leader: Become the leader others are inspired to follow’ is published by Major Street Publishing and is available for $29.95.

Ms Dzedins said: "It was very frightening, I was very lucky."

"I could see bits of car flying up into the air, like I think mirrors or I don't know; door handles, something like that," she added.

Ten years of red and blue By Hayley Wildes The year 2009 was a major step forward for football in the local region, and 10 years on the partnership between the Melbourne Football Club and the City of Casey has never been stronger. Almost exactly 10 years ago to the day, 5 June 2009, the Melbourne Football Club officially announced its 30-year commitment to the City of Casey and the benefits for the local community - on and off the football field have been immense. “It’s been a massive progression - we’re 10 years into a 30-year partnership and probably over the last two years the partnership has escalated quite dramatically,” said general manager of Casey Football, Peter Maynard. “Now at Casey Fields, besides what was just the AFL training and community camps, we’ve got our AFLW home games played here and they train here, our VFL program, our VFLW program, the Melbourne Football Club Academy is based here, we’re also the major partner for the South East Juniors and we’ve also formed a partnership with the Cranbourne Netball Association, so we’ve got a Casey Demons team in the Victorian Netball League.” As well as having those teams in the local community, the programs and initiatives that continue to be run throughout the City of Casey that have Melbourne Football Club involvement are just as important. “As part of the partnership with the City of Casey, we’re committed to delivering a number of community programs which are many and varied.” Maynard said. Programs such as ‘We Are, We Can, We Will’ - which aims to empower, encourage and break down barriers to get more women and girls involved in sport and physical activity, as well as a YMCA partnership, multicultural and indigenous programs, training clinics and education programs. The strength of the Casey Demons on-field in the VFL is another example of the success of this partnership. Over the past three years, the Demons have finished the VFL home and away season as minor premiers (2016), fourth (2017) and second (2018). Although ultimate glory hasn’t been achieved, a tough brand of football has been the staple of Casey for years and gives fans plenty to be proud of. When the partnership officially began back in 2009, the Melbourne-aligned VFL team was known as the Casey Scorpions - formerly the Springvale Scorpions - before making the switch to the Demons prior to the 2017 VFL season. The club is still extremely proud and aware of the Scorpions’ history and this weekend they pay tribute to the Scorpions. “Melbourne’s biggest day of the year is always against Collingwood on the Queen’s Birthday and our VFL team has a heritage round dedicated to Springvale Football Club,” Maynard said of Casey’s clash against Collingwood on Sunday afternoon at Casey Fields. “We still do a lot to retain the heritage and brand of the Springvale Football Club.” There have been some great players roll through the doors at Casey Fields and some highlights that have to be seen to be believed over the past 10 years, but undoubtedly the highlights off-field and in the community have been just as special.

Back in 2009, then Melbourne Football Club general manager of football Chris Connolly, club legend Garry Lyon, president Jim Stynes, Casey mayor Geoff Ablett and Casey CEO Mike Tyler shared a laugh while making the long awaited announcement in Cranbourne. 31849 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

The buzzer-beating Warriors claim a nailbiting victory By Mark Paxton The Pakenham Warriors Youth League 2 men continued their dominant Big V run, defeating the Western Port Steelers by 29 points, 88-59. It was centre Matthew Berkec who dominated for Pakenham with 17 points and 16 rebounds. Coach Braden Venning shared his thoughts after the game. "We used a strong defensive effort to really limit their main guys," he said. "We look forward to the mid-season break so we can get over some niggling injuries and we can't wait for the push towards finals." The Division 2 men played in yet another 22 STAR NEWS

overtime game, but unfortunately went down by six points, 82-76, to the RMIT Redbacks. Daniel Steen did everything with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in an inspired effort, but it wasn't enough as the Warriors just couldn't get the buckets they required at key stages. Head coach Brent Russell was honest in his review after the game. "We won't win games playing 15 minutes of basketball," he said. "We need to make sure guys trust each other." The Division 2 women played in a thriller at home, defeating Sherbrooke in a close en-

counter by three points, 74-71. Steph Pal put the team on her back with a monster effort of 16 points and 12 rebounds. Whilst Pal kept the Warriors in the game, it was Keely Patterson who hit the game-winner from the corner to give the Warriors the win that sees them stay in the top two. The Youth League 2 women once again got out-played, losing to Western Port by nine points, 58-49. It seems to be that her name is mentioned every week, but Alahna Arnason was impressive recording 11 points and 10 rebounds in just 15 minutes of game time. Head coach Matthew Innes spoke postgame.

"We are looking forward to the upcoming Queens Birthday weekend where the girls can have a well-earned break, regroup, get healthy and prepare to finish the season strong," he said. With no Big V action this weekend, the Warriors return to action the following weekend in what is sure to be another vital round of games for all teams. The Youth League 2 men host Coburg at Cardinia Life from 7pm on 15 June, while the Division 2 men and women both hit the road that day. On 16 June, a Youth League 2 women and Division 2 men double-header tips off at Cardinia Life from 12pm. pakenhamnews.starcommunity.com.au

Prasad is setting the pace By Nick Creely National race-walking champion Pramesh Prasad continues to break records at an alarming rate, and nothing seems to be slowing him down. The 44-year-old Narre Warren local and Casey Fields Masters athlete is a real story of persistence since moving from Fiji to Melbourne in the early 1990's, carving out an incredible race-walking career that has seen him already claim three national titles, a bounty of records and gold medals in Australian, Victorian and International Masters tournaments. In 2018 alone, he broke four national records for Fiji - including ending a 21-year 5000 metre record - and holds more records than any male athlete in his home country, an incredible feat. This year, Prasad has steadily built on his success, challenging himself in many gruelling events, and is setting his sights on a national record in a six-hour event in Coburg in the near future after breaking Fiji's national record for 10 kilometres in 49:27, and two weeks prior breaking a 15 kilometre record for the Victorian Masters. "In the last six months, I did my first 50 kilometre event, which was at the Victorian Championships, so I won the state championships, and by winning that, I was ranked number one in Australia in Open Division, so that's been a big challenge for me," he said. "And I did a six-hour event in Coburg and came first with 56.3 kilometres, which unfortunately is 500 metres from the national record, but hopefully I can get that in years to come. "I also went through the local Victorian Track and Field summer season and did well." But this year is the big one, the Oceania Athletics Association Championships in lateJune, in which Prasad will represent Fiji in the 10,000 metre race-walk.

Local athlete Pramesh Prasad is enjoying a stellar race-walking career. In what is one of the biggest athletics championships of the year - with over 500 athletes competing from around Oceania in a four-day event - Prasad is certainly excited for the challenge. "I will be competing with some great ath-

letes, so it'll be tough, but I'm going there to get the experience and get a time," he said. "We don't really race in winter times so it'll be good to get a good time. "I'm looking forward to it." Away from the competitive field, Pramesh

Casey's horrible start to the 2019 VFL season continued on Saturday in Werribee. The Demons were slow out of the blocks against Werribee and at quarter-time found themselves down by 13 points, 4.3 (27) to 2.2 (14). Werribee continued to work hard in the second quarter and the side's pressure was too much for Casey as they outscored the Demons three goals to one to take a 24-point lead into the main break. Despite the score line, the work of returning Melbourne player Steven May (13 first half disposals) was a highlight. He was clunking key marks and using his sublime foot skills to great effect out of the backline. While the half-time score wasn't insurmountable, Werribee scored the first two goals of the third quarter to ensure it kept the scoreboard pressure squarely on Casey. With a quarter to play, the Demons were 30 points adrift, 9.8 (62) to 4.8 (32). The Demons finally managed to get some goals on the board in the final quarter, but Werribee continued on its merry way up forward as well to ensure the result was never in doubt. Werribee ran out 35-point winners, 13.10 (88) to 7.11 (53). The game was won around the contest as ex-AFL star Michael Barlow (33 disposals) and Josh Clayton (32 disposals) dominated proceedings through the middle for Werribee. May (22 disposals) was the standout for Casey and looks set for a return to AFL action, while Corey Wagner (25 disposals and 10 tackles) was a constant source of effort. While the result wasn't what Casey fans had hoped for, there were positives to come out of the loss - namely in the form of three locals making their 2019 Casey VFL debuts; Cranbourne's Anthony Vella, former Gippsland Power player and number three pick in last week's AFL mid-season draft Kyle Dunkley, and Cora Lynn's Heath Briggs. Vella looked at home in the red and blue with his impressive kicking and willingness to take the game on, while Briggs and Dunkley
