Jailed for bashing By Brendan Rees

- Judge Susan Pullen and kill the girl,” referring to Nicholas Gold, the judge said. The court was told the mob left but made threats to the victim that if he reported the incident to police “we’ll kill ya missus and your kids too”. Meanwhile, Judge Pullen said, two police officers, who had sat in a marked car at the front of the property after being assigned to the area, attempted to follow Martinow’s car, a burntorange Holden Commodore sedan, as the men fled the scene but lost sight of it shortly after. Mr Gold was subsequently treated at hospital for bruising, abrasions, haemorrhage to the eye area, swelling and pain. Martinow drove to South Australia, his home state, but was arrested upon his return to Victoria when he visited a bikie mate in jail. Judge Pullen said Martinow, who has three children to different partners, was born in Adelaide and had struggled with high school in terms of concentration and social interaction. After leaving school he worked various labouring jobs but a workplace injury in 2009 left him unable to work for two years. In sentencing, Judge Pullen said while his admission of guilt was “some evidence of remorse ... I must also consider the need to protect member of the community from you and bear in mind the likelihood of your reoffending - that concerns me.”
A chocolate heaven ... This mountain of chocolate is sure to hit the sweet spot. Senior Pastor Kerrigan La-Brooy of Gethsemane Church and Charity said the towering haven - which included a donated range of leftover Easter chocolate - will be up for grabs for free in Cranbourne on Saturday 6 June. Mr La-Brooy said given the lockdown period kids have endured in recent times: “We believe it’s time they received a well-deserved treat subject to parent’s discretion”.

A man associated with the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang who bashed a man at his Hampton Park home - while another struck him with a tyre iron - has been jailed. Nathan Martinow was sentenced to the County Court of Victoria on 26 May to three years and eight months in jail after pleading to aggravated burglary and intentionally cause injury. In her sentencing remarks, Judge Susan Pullen said Martinow, 42, was among four Finks members who had “barged” through the door and attacked Nicholas Gold while he was at his Hampton Park home with his partner and father about noon on 9 September, 2018 - in retaliation for semi-naked photos posted on Facebook of Tara Egglestone, an associate of bikie henchman Brent ‘BJ’ Reker. In her remarks, Judge Pullen said the orders for the attack came from Reker who, the day before, was recorded saying to Egglestone through a listening device planted in his car by police: “He’s getting sorted, yeah ... he’s gonna get publicly humiliated”. “(He) will never walk again, he’ll be in a wheelchair, he’ll be dead alright?” Reker was heard saying, the court heard. The listening devices were part of Victoria Police Echo Taskforce’s investigation into drug trafficking. Upon entering a bedroom and finding Mr Gold, Judge Pullen said Martinow “pushed and punched” Mr Gold in the mouth. The mob - who were of “big build covered in tattoos” - then demanded Mr Gold say who had created the racy Facebook page. When Mr Gold said he “didn’t know”, the coaccused Corey Wanakore-Moeke smashed Mr Gold in the face with a tyre iron as he lay next to a bed, Judge Pullen said. Judge Pullen said she accepted Martinow wasn’t aware of the tyre iron and that “it had been produced subsequently”. At one point a man told Mr Gold’s father: “Luckily you’re here or otherwise your son would be dead, he’s done some bad things” while another said “let’s blow his knee caps out

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in Narre Warren after allegedly evading police in a stolen vehicle on Monday night, 1 June. It is alleged an Audi sedan was stolen during an aggravated burglary in Cranbourne on Sunday 31 May. Police say the stolen Audi was seen on Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road just after 10.30pm on Monday 1 June and police attempted to intercept the vehicle when the driver failed to pull over. The vehicle was later followed to an address on Monaro Crescent in Narre Warren where the driver was located at the rear of a house just after 3.30am, police allege. Local police members with the assistance of the Dog Squad and the Public Order Response Team arrested the teen. The Cranbourne male is currently in hospital under police guard. Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating and are keen to speak to anyone who may have dash-cam footage. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

A relieved father has rejoiced in hugging his young son who had become lost at Lysterfield Park on Saturday 30 May. Narre Warren SES volunteers had been undertaking a training exercise when a passerby raised the alarm about noon. “An old chap on a bicycle came up to us and his phone had died,” SES crew leader Marcus Denning said. “He said that he had met a gentleman on the track who lost his nine-year-old.” At this stage the child had missing for about 40 minutes. Mr Denning said he radioed for emergency assistance with police arriving on scene within five minutes. Luckily a member of the public found the child within 15 minutes and brought him back to the main carpark. Mr Denning said said the boy was hungry so “we gave him biscuits and he ate half the
packet.” Meanwhile, SES volunteers drove along the tracks and found the boy’s distressed father with his young daughter who had up until the ordeal been enjoying a family bike ride. Volunteers put the bicycles in the back before driving the pair back to the carpark where the family was reunited. Mr Denning said it wasn’t known exactly how the boy had become lost but praised the efforts of the passers-by and police who responded quickly. “One of the good things about rescue type jobs is that agencies get there within such a short amount of time, it’s amazing.” Mr Denning said it wasn’t uncommon for missing persons jobs to come up at Lysterfield Park including people who met with trouble in boats. “It’s a place we try to at least make sure members are up to date with the access points so we don’t get confused,” he said.

The intersection of Frankston-Dandenong Road and Thompsons Road will be closed for five weeks as the State Government removes the roundabout four months ahead of schedule. Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan made the announcement on Monday 1 June, saying the closure, effective from 5 June, would save residents and road users from ongoing delays and detours and ease congestion even faster than planned. Taking advantage of the current lower traffic volumes, the intersection will be closed for five weeks to allow the project team to work around the clock to remove the roundabout without disruption or the danger of live traffic. It was also been timed to start just as major construction finishes on the nearby Hallam Road Upgrade, with Hallam Road duplicated and traffic lights installed at the South Gippsland Highway intersection. More than 58,000 vehicles travel through the Frankston-Dandenong Road and Thompsons Road intersection every day, making it an extremely busy freight and transport link in Melbourne’s booming south east. The existing roundabout at FrankstonDandenong Road will be replaced with traffic lights to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and support the predicted growth in the surrounding suburbs. Once complete, there will be three lanes travelling through the intersection and two right-turn lanes at every approach, providing a more reliable and smoother journey. Dedicated slip lanes are also being built at each approach to the intersection to reduce the queuing effect of left-turning vehicles on through traffic. “This upgrade is another way we’re easing congestion in Melbourne’s booming south-

Free TAFE a sure success New data reveals that students have flocked to Chisholm Institute to start their training since the State Government’s Free TAFE program began. There has been a 196 per cent increase in commencements at Chisholm Institute compared with the same courses at the end of 2018. In 2019 at Chisholm Institute, Free TAFE commencements doubled for unemployed Victorians along with people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and those with a disability. The number of women studying in Free TAFE courses increased by 264 per cent. The most popular Free TAFE courses in 2019 at the Chisholm Institute were Certificate IV in Building and Construction, Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping, and Certificate III in Individual Support. Almost 40,000 students commenced Free TAFE training across the state, making an 88 per cent increase in commencements compared with the same courses at the end of 2018. The Free TAFE program is playing an important role in providing a pipeline of essential healthcare workers, such as nurses, during the coronavirus crisis and it is anticipated that the program will help to re-train those facing unemployment and underemployment as we move into the recovery phase. State-wide, more than 25,000 students took up courses to bolster the NDIS, family violence and infrastructure workforces. “As we respond and recover from the coronavirus crisis here in Narre Warren South, Free TAFE at Chisholm will provide the next wave of essential workers for our local industry,” said Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas. “It’s fantastic to see so many more people undertaking tertiary education. It shows that once barriers are reduced people are very enthusiastic about learning new skills and upgrading their qualifications. These personal achievements ultimately benefit us all with high quality workers, greater productivity and a stronger economy.”

I live in Cranbourne North which l travel to Dandenong to see people, shop at the market etc ... in a long story cut short travelling through the Vic Roads Hallam Road intersection project I get so angry watching workers standing around, talking between themselves, standing in groups looking at their phones etc. This project has been going for nearly two years and will not be finished for another eight months the cost for this road project would be tens of millions of dollars. What is eating me is a private company can build roads, install traffic lights, and build a major shopping centre in one year. (Evans Road new shopping centre project Woolworths) The Government Hallam Road project is a perfect example on a total waste of tax payer’s money, compared to the Evans Road project which is a credit to the company building it.

Pet play turns to terror By Jessica Anstice There are fears dogs are being poisoned in a popular Berwick park after many pets have fallen violently ill and the death of one muchloved Labrador. Devastated dog owner, Tracy Wilkinson, made the heartbreaking decision to euthanise their beloved pet, Zac, after a suspected case of dog baiting, at or near Akoonah Park in Berwick. However vets have not yet confirmed whether the death is definitely linked to dog baiting. Within about four hours after walking through the park, the 14-year-old white Lab became extremely unwell - he was lethargic, disorientated, agitated, lost his appetite and began to vomit. “The vet put it down to the cancer he had but a blood test showed his liver toxicity was three times the acceptable rate,” Ms Wilkinson said. “Our vet said it indicated that he had eaten something toxic rather than his cancer. “We are missing him terribly - he was such a gentle dog and had fought and survived so many battles. He should never have died because of someone else’s cruelty, especially at Akoonah Park. He got up everyday for his walk there.” A number of other dogs have had their stomachs pumped after eating what most suspect is marijuana in human faeces. Berwick resident, Stephanie Elaine, rushed her two-year-old Groodle, Evie, to Casey Pet Emergency after noticing the dog was very weak on her feet following a walk through Akoonah Park on Sunday 31 May. “She was swaying, had virtually collapsed and was drooling by the time I got her to the emergency vets,” Ms Elaine said. “They kept her in overnight, did tests and
Just a few months ago, Em Galea Bau’s sevenmonth-old Boxer, Archie, experienced similar symptoms after running around Akoonah Park.

gave her charcoal to induce vomiting. She was put on a drip straight away as they seemed to know what was going on because they had had several dogs with the same symptoms. “The vets called it early. Tests of toxicity came back positive for cannabis and together with faecal matter that they pumped out of her stomach, they said it would have been a deliberate act.” Ms Elaine claims her furry friend is lucky to be alive after hearing it may have been an intentional attack. “I’m very angry and sad as she could have lost her life as another dog has,” she said. “Evie is doing ok, she’s still sluggish and tired but she is going to be ok.” Play also turned to terror for Jodie Cunliffe’s one-and-a-half-year-old Kelpie Billy at Akoonah Park on Tuesday 2 June. Billy was rushed to the vet after she had been vomiting all day, unable to even keep water down. “We still don’t know what’s wrong with him but it’s possible it’s the bait from Akoonah
Park,” Ms Cunliffe said. “He is still not well and he will continue to monitor him. He may need to go back to the vet. “He has been having tremors - it looks like he is dreaming but he’s awake.” Just a few months ago, Em Galea Bau’s seven-month-old Boxer, Archie, experienced similar symptoms after running around Akoonah Park. “I have just connected that it’s happened to a few dogs at the time it happened to ours,” the Narre Warren resident said. “I didn’t think anything of it but now we are hearing more cases and it’s making sense. “Now I know others are going through it too - it has made me think about where it’s come from.” Young Archie was left vomiting while not being able to walk on his back legs. “We took him to the vet and he stayed for a couple of days. They said after tests that he had eaten something toxic but couldn’t pin point what it was,” she recalled.
Berwick resident, Stephanie Elaine, rushed her two-year-old Groodle, Evie, to Casey Pet Emergency after noticing the dog was very weak on her feet following a walk through Akoonah Park on Sunday 31 May. “It’s sad we have to go through this and that people can be so cruel. “But at least if people are aware and vets are aware, they can treat it straight away as there have been many cases.”? While there was no evidence to suggest the potential bait was placed maliciously, it has certainly caused a stir within the local community. On a post published by Akoonah Park to social media, many dog-owners stated that it is also happening in other parks around the City of Casey, including Holm Park. Dog owners who frequent Akoonah Park and surrounding parks are being urged to stay vigilant. City of Casey has been contacted for comment.

Death probe By Brendan Rees Victoria’s police chief say officers have begun an “intensive” investigation into the death of renowned greyhound trainer Keren Leek who died in a “very violent crime”. Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said since the discovery of Ms Leek’s body at her Devon Meadows home on Tuesday morning 26 May, investigators had been interviewing people - but no arrest had been made at this stage. Homicide squad detectives are trying to determined what led to her final moments - as the “exact circumstances are still to be determined”. Emergency services were called to a property on Cross Road about 10am where they found the body of the 69-year-old. Mr Ashton said Ms Leek’s home was a “big property” which had been treated as a crime scene. “Certainly it’s a terrible crime and a very violent crime,” he told 3AW. “She was someone well-known in the greyhound industry ... it’s certainly sent shockwaves through that Devon Meadows area,” he said. Mr Ashton reassured the public that it was “huge priority” for investigators. Investigators have made an appeal for anyone who may have seen any activity at the property over the past few days to come forward. “They would also like to hear from anyone who drove past the address or through the area and has dash-cam footage,” a Victoria police spokeswoman said. Those close to to Ms Leek described her as well-respected, highly successful and dedicated member of the greyhound industry - with the Greyhound Owners Trainers and Breeders Association saying it was “deeply saddened” by the news. Friend Donna Sadler of Jamuna Equine in Nar Nar Goon described Ms Leek as “a really lovely person”.
Respected greyhound trainer Karen Leek was found dead in her Devon Meadows home. Picture: CONTRIBUTED Ms Sadler said Ms Leek was a great mentor when she started training greyhounds about 12 years ago. “If I needed advice or anything like that she always here. It wasn’t never too much trouble for her to give you a hand,” she said. “I can’t say a bad word about Karen at all.” Ms Sadler said the news of Ms Leek’s death came as a shock and “certainly didn’t expect that something had happened to her.” “She only just messaged me last week about the dogs because I’ve got French bulldogs ... it was just a quick message in passing about the puppies that I had.” Mick Floyd, racing and media manager at Sandown Park said Ms Leek was a “popular figure” and “had a real passion” for greyhound racing. “I never heard a bad word about her. She was always up for a chat; she was always quite friendly and pleasant,” he said.

Trainer will be missed By Brendan Rees Homicide detectives are piecing together the circumstances around a well-known greyhound trainer who was found dead in her Devon Meadows home. Emergency services were called to a property on Cross Road about 10am on Tuesday 26 May where they found the body of 69-year-old Karen Leek. A crime scene has been established as police confirmed they were treating Ms Leek’s death as “suspicious”. Homicide squad detectives are trying to determined what led to her final moments - as the “exact circumstances are still to be determined,” Victoria Police spokeswoman Natalie Webster said. “Investigators are appealing for anyone who may have seen any activity at the property over the past few days to come forward,” she said. “They would also like to hear from anyone who drove past the address or through the area and has dash-cam footage.” Tributes have flowed online while flowers have also been laid outside Ms Leek’s sprawling rural home since the news broke of her tragic death. To gain access to Ms Leek’s property a pin code is required. One friend described Ms Leek on social media as a “wonderful person” and “so generous”. “Tragic news,” the post read. “Such a great loss to the greyhound fraternity. Condolences to her family. “She will be greatly missed.” The Greyhound Owners Trainers and Breeders Association said it was “deeply saddened” by the news, describing Ms Leek as a “greatly respected and successful trainer”. The association said she “provided support and guidance to many others making their way in greyhound racing.”? “Karen loved her dogs, was a selfless friend and mentor to many and will be greatly missed by her many friends and colleagues.” In a statement on its website, Greyhound Racing Victoria said Ms Leek the industry had been “devastated” to learn of Ms Leek’s sudden death. “Karen was one of the most respected people in greyhound racing, recognised for her success as a breeder, rearer and trainer,” the statement read. “Karen had an outstanding reputation as a commercial rearer, having raised many champions including Bewildering, Brokenwood, Extreme Magic, Godsend, Moreira and Nolen.” The statement also said Ms Leek was a “major contributor” to greyhound racing administration, including volunteering her time on various panels for the betterment of the sport. According to The Greyhound Recorder’s website, Ms Leek “meant so much to so many” and left “an indelible mark on the greyhound racing industry Australia wide.” Ms Leek grew up in Warrandyte where her family owned the general store, and was intro-

Acquatic centres’ revamp While the doors to Casey RACE and Casey ARC have been temporarily closed due to the pandemic, there has been some hard work happening behind the scenes. At Casey RACE, a new balustrade and stairs leading to the slide tower have been installed, with resurfacing being completed on both the stairs and balcony. The one large fan in the pool hall has been replaced with 16 new fans, to allow more fresh air to circulate throughout the hall and create significant energy savings for the facility. The main pool and office areas will also get a makeover with painting works giving the area fresh new vibes. At Casey ARC, major toilet and change room refurbishments have already been completed with new ‘no touch’ showers installed. A fresh layer of paint has revamped the main pool hall and office areas, and three new sand filters have been installed in the warm water pool. There are still more works to come and council are scheduling them now, while there are still restrictions in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In a statement , Casey Council said: “Unfortunately, to enable us to complete this next round of works means that the Casey RACE pools won’t be reopening on 1 June, as per the change to restrictions announced by the Victorian Government.” “Undertaking the works now means that when restrictions ease further this year, we will be able to open our whole facility to the community to enjoy again, just in time for the warmer weather. “We are currently considering tender responses to undertake retiling works in the warm water pool, leisure pool and the spa, steam and sauna areas at Casey RACE.” The retiling works are expected to take between 12-16 weeks to complete and will be

She’s our hero By Brendan Rees Bridget O'Toole has tried to block out the painful memory the day her husband was tragically killed by two stab wounds to the upper chest. "I've got to be kinder to myself because you torture yourself thinking could've done more," says Mrs O'Toole. "Survivor guilt isn't good." It was 5pm on 12 July 2013 when a man wielding a 20-centimetre carving knife entered Bridget and Dermot O'Toole's jewellery store in Hastings. "I thought it was a customer coming in and I just got up to serve him," she said. However Mrs O'Toole, of Lyndhurst, was attacked by the armed assailant who pushed her into a glass cabinet and stabbed her several times. "He was screaming like a lunatic," she recalled. During the attack Mr O'Toole, who suffered from Parkinson's Disease, came out from the workshop to defend his wife and began wrestling with the assailant. "We were just trying to fight him off ... Dermot was desperately trying to save me." "Dermot fell over, he tripped over and he turned on him and stabbed him to death," she said. Mrs O'Toole attempted to pull the offender away from her husband and in doing so she was
further assaulted. The assailant then ran out of the shop. Mr O'Toole, 64, was fatally wounded and tragically died at the scene. Mrs O'Toole was taken to hospital where she had to undergo plastic surgery for the extensive serious stab and slash wounds and the glass shards that were embedded in her back.

Mrs O'Toole was taken to hospital where she had to undergo plastic surgery for the extensive serious stab and slash wounds and the glass shards that were embedded in her back. For her actions, Mrs O'Toole was awarded the 2018 Gold Clarke Medal during a presentation at the Melbourne Town Hall on Thursday 23 August. "It was a beautiful day," says Mrs O'Toole. "I was totally humbled and to be deemed worthy of such a prestigious award I couldn't believe it." The medal is an award of The Royal Humane Society of Australasia and is the Society's highest award for the most outstanding case of bravery. Mr O'Toole was posthumously awarded the Star of Courage in 2017 - Australia's highest bravery accolades which recognises "acts of conspicuous courage in circumstances of great peril". The robber, Gavin Perry, 27, was high after taking ice and on parole at the time of the murder. He was jailed for 27 years in 2014 for the crime. Mrs O'Toole remembers her husband of 41 years as a wonderful man who was a funny, kind and loyal man."I had the best husband and we had a great life together," she said. "Life has just been horrible since."

When the 1.5m tall peculiar sculpture arrived at Gregory Matthews’ home in Cranbourne North it reminded him of a wombat. “It’s nothing like what I thought it was going to be,” the Aboriginal artist said. Mr Matthews, a descendant of Tasmania’s Manegin People, will join 99 others to help mark 150 years of the Royal Children’s Hospital. The UooUoo sculptures (pronounced ‘you you’), have become a canvas for creativity among the artists and once complete they will find a home in laneways, streets, parks and public spaces, forming walking trails throughout Melbourne and Geelong. Mr Matthews, whose work has sold internationally, is adding the final touches to his piece at his home studio which he said will take six weeks in total to complete. He said his design named ‘Wombat Dreaming’, was inspired by the shape of the UooUoo, which reminded him of a wombat, and his wonderful childhood memories in Tasmania. “I’m really getting into it now,” he said. “I’ve done all the details all way round the UooUoo,” he said, after undertaking the painstaking task of using acrylic paint to apply thousands of dots on the sculpture by utilising wooden sticks of different diameters.
Greg Matthews with his UooUoo 208999 “Now it’s just a matter of carefully strategically placing all these dots and getting the colour combination right - that’s the trick to it.” Despite some of the challenges that have come with his colourful project, Mr Matthews said: “Even if there’s a problem, there’s always a work around.” Asked whether he would take on the task again, Mr Matthews’ reply is swift. “I would do it again because I could tackle it the second time because I would know all the things.” All money raised from the UooUoos, with each one being sponsored by a business, will go towards the Royal Children’s Hospital. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

All good for the garden By Brendan Rees From humble beginnings 30 years ago, Lyndpark Garden Supplies in Hampton Park has bloomed into a family-run business. Whether it’s garden sheds, pavers, pots, mulch, sand, soil, pebbles, water tanks, retaining walls, natural stone, crushed rock and toppings or even a homeware item, there is plenty of inspiration for one’s next backyard project or decorating a home. The business, which is run by Terry Borschman and his wife Susan, along with their children Mark, 32, and Kathleen, 30, has remained open throughout the pandemic with a number of buyers “calling continuously” to order products as people stay at home. The business has also kept busy supplying a bulk of their products to landscapers and gardeners - as it is a leading distributor of Adbri Masonry, Steel Chief Industries and Boral Cement. Mr Borschman said one of their more popular items was factory clearance garden sheds from Steel Chief Industries - which were sold at cheaper prices on site. “We’ve basically got hundreds to choose from,” he said, which also included pavers. “We’ve almost run out of space - our wide selection range has plenty of bargains to offer!” The family say their business was briefly “knocked around” when their main entrance was changed from Hallam Road to the Suez Resource Recovery Precinct driveway in January due to the Hallam Road Upgrade project - but have been most satisfied with the con-

sideration and support given by the contractors BMD. And with the major works set to be completed in the next fortnight and temporary fencing is to come down - the family say they are excited to create more interest and bring new customers through their doors. Mr Borschman said the growth in the area had been unimaginable as it was once known as a “country community” with Hallam Road
consisting of three dairy farms when he and his wife purchased the site of their business four decades ago which was originally a fiveand-half-acre old farm property. The business has been one of the lucky few to have weathered the coronavirus storm with no impact to staff numbers or their hours, however, with social distancing rules still in place, customers are limited in numbers when entering the hardware and homeware shops.
The eco-friendly homeware shop, which has undergone a recent rebranding after being named August and Alivina, has a stunning range of stunning items, big and small, to suit one’s lifestyle. This included indoor and outdoor decor, clothing, wall art, water features, mirrors, console tables, and plenty of indoor and outdoor pots with some locally sourced from Robert Gordon Pottery and Northcote pottery.

Superload slow and steady By Mitchell Clarke A 100 metre long superload, weighing in at a whopping 640 tonnes, travelled through the South East as part of its journey to Loy Yang. Its entire load measure is longer than two Olympic sizes swimming pools and weighs as much as 130 elephants. To facilitate such a big move, four prime movers were required, along with a team of specialist engineers. Traffic management officers and load escorts travelled with the convoy for the entire journey to ensure roads remained safe. Officers helped to manoeuvre the sixmetre-wide vehicle safely around corners by temporarily removing signage and lights and placing steel supports over existing drainage. The complex operation to move the large electrical component was conducted in stages across three nights, beginning its journey at 9pm on Monday 1 June from the Webb Dock in Port Melbourne. The mammoth piece of machinery travelled via a number of metropolitan roads before being stored at a secret location in Dande-

It passed Hallam and Narre Warren before reaching Officer, Pakenham and Nar Nar Goon shortly before 1am. Despite VicRoads warning of no viewing opportunities, keen spectators sat out in freez-

On Wednesday night, the convoy left Yarragon for the final leg of the journey towards Loy Yang B in Traralgon.

Smiles tell the story as Berwick’s favourite park re-opens The cold may have set in but that hasn’t deterred nature lovers from venturing to Wilson Botanic Park which reopened on Thursday 21 May following the easing of restrictions. The gardens were sorely missed during the Covid-19 closures, but the downtime was put to good use with work continuing behind the scenes to make sure that the park’s future is looking very rosy indeed. In more exciting news for the park, work is nearing completion for a cafe located on the grounds. The cafe started life as a humble shipping container but has been transformed with external spotted gum cladding and deck, two serving windows, and a stainless-steel fit-out inside. Wilson Botanic Park coordinator, Cathy Rees, said the cafe has been the missing piece visitors have been asking for. “The cafe will provide visitors with a social hub, a place to purchase food and beverages, meet friends and become a destination of choice for residents and the broader community,” she said. “It will also provide added amenity to the park and encourage visitors to stay longer, without having to go elsewhere for a bite to eat or enjoy refreshments. We look forward to opening the cafe soon!” Casey Council Wilson Botanic Park Berwick Master Plan has also thanked those who contributed their thoughts, ideas and aspirations to a recent Wilson Botanic Park Berwick masterplan community survey.

Owner Simon Javor and his team offer fresh fruit and vegetables as well as juices and eggs delivered straight to your doorstep. Mr Javor said Covid-19 had changed the way Early N Fresh went about its business, taking him back in many ways to his roots in the fresh food business in 2000. “Once again we went back to home deliveries, which was just how it all began in 2000. This time though, we have a website and customers are able to choose exactly what they want which was a difficult task 20 years ago,” Mr Javor explained.
No Gap Dental Check-ups* for patients with available health fund rebates

Mr Javor pioneered the daily home delivery of fresh fruit and vegetables. Together with a business partner he started and built The Home Fruit Supply. The business grew rapidly and started delivering to cafes and restaurants throughout Melbourne. It was the perfect platform from which to start Early N Fresh. Early N Fresh delivers 5 days a week Monday to Friday. Customers have until 10pm to get their order in for next day delivery. “We do not offer pre-made/mixed boxes as in our experience a lot of produce would go to waste. We give our customers the possibility to pick and choose the items that they want and need from our online store. Our minimum order is $50 and the delivery is free of charge. All of our items/produce comes in our unique and branded Early N Fresh boxes,” Mr Javor explained. For more go to earlynfresh.com.au

Glad to be back at school By Danielle Kutchel There were ear to ear grins on faces young and old as students streamed back through the school gates this week at Marnebek School. The school grounds, which have been virtually empty since late in term one, were filled once more with kids and teachers happy to see each other again. The consensus, according to assistant principal Chris Murray, was that it was a “fantastic” day and everyone was glad to be back. “All students were very keen to get back to school with the majority of students attending,” he said. “There was a distinct buzz around the school from both teachers and students excited to return to their classrooms.” Measures have been put in place to allow for extra cleaning, handwashing and social distancing to keep students, staff and their families safe. All five of the school’s entry and exit points have been opened up for use and each class has been allocated a gate. “By opening more access points, we have managed to reduce the number of students moving through one area and created a more streamlined system,” Mr Murray explained. “We have also set out barriers and 1.5m markers to assist parents with social distancing when picking up their child.” Similarly, extra play spaces have been opened up for students to use at recess and lunch, and the school has created more indoors programs to minimise contact between students at those busy times. “By doing this we have managed to keep the consistency our students need, minimise the spread of germs, whilst keeping the high-level engaging programs our students deserve,” Mr Murray said.

It’s no secret that a well-designed home is a happy home and with most of spending more time inside than out it is no surprise that this winter will see an emphasis on the home as a nurturing retreat. he home is now a place to warm the soul and lit the spirits, with cocooning colours, luxurious details and comforting curves with paint company Dulux releasing the Indulge palette - one of four trend palettes identiied in the 2020 Dulux Colour Forecast ‘Essence’ - to cover this trend. “he Indulge palette is warm and sophisticated, the ideal colour cure for those gloomy winter months,” says Andrea Lucena-Orr, Dulux Colour and Communications Manager. “Deep burgundy, sot violet and accents of coral and mustard feel opulent and exciting, with hints of art deco and ’70s disco adding a touch of nostalgia. “he key is to choose a hero colour and display it in diferent shades across your walls and sot furnishings, with one or two contrasting accents to provide that element of surprise. Curved furniture and pared-back styling keep the look fresh and modern. To show how easy it is to rejuvenate a home for winter with colour, stylist Bree Leech made over a home oice in a heritage home using
the Dulux Indulge palette. “he room has great bones - high ceilings, ornate cornicing, natural light and a beautiful ireplace in the home oice,” Leech said. “But the steely grey on the home oice walls and the white behind the study nook felt cold and uninviting. Colour has such a huge impact on the mood of a room, and I wanted to create spaces where you’d want to linger. he furniture and built-in joinery are stunning; I wished to make these more of a feature through the use of colour. “I wanted to make the rooms feel cosy and inviting and play up their best features without a huge outlay of time or money. Paint was the best way to achieve this - it gave the rooms a whole new look without replacing all the furniture or blowing the budget. “Given the room’s grand proportions and character, the Indulge palette of rich, saturated hues was a natural choice.” She chose Dulux Wash&Wear in Russet Tan for the walls and shelving in the home oice and retained the white ceiling and ireplace painted with classic warm white Dulux Natural White to ofer cohesion with the white desk. She then introduced a large rug of warm colours of rust and coral to harmonise with the wall and an artdeco inspired side table to tie the curves together.

Spirited By Julie Cohen Published by Hachette Australia hree women carry unspeakable truths in their heart. At what cost will they ind their freedom? In Victorian England, Viola is an amateur photographer struggling with the grief of her father’s death and the sterile atmosphere of her marriage to her childhood friend, Jonah. When she discovers a talent for capturing ghostly images on camera, Viola comes to the attention of a spirit medium, and a powerful attraction between the two women is sparked. As each woman puts herself at risk, secrets are brought to light that will change their lives forever. Spirited is driven by passionate, courageous female characters, and exploring themes of sexuality, gender and prejudice. Author Julie Cohen grew up in the western mountains of Maine. Her house was just up the hill from the library and she spent many hours walking back and forth, her nose in a book. She studied English Literature at Brown University and Cambridge University and is a popular speaker and teacher of creative writing, including classes for the Guardian and Literature Wales. Her books have been translated into 15

‘Iso-letics’ carnival action By Mitchell Clarke The Covid-19 ‘learn from home’ instruction has meant that Year 12 students have missed out on a number of final year rituals. Instead of fancy dress days, Year 12 students have instead donned pyjamas, but staff at Nossal High School were determined to ensure one annual favourite went ahead, albeit with a twist. The postponement of the House Athletics carnival presented a unique opportunity to adapt to quarantine restrictions and the school decided to host a virtual ‘Iso-letics’ carnival, in a bid to keep the school community active and engaged. Nossal’s sports coordinator Anita Coffa created a schedule of events in which students could complete from home. They were able to earn points for their house teams by submitting proof of participation. “We wanted to give everyone a chance to be active by providing as many exercise options as possible, and to find creative ways of verifying activity to keep some healthy competition alive,” Ms Coffa said. “Many isolated students and staff contacted us to say they’d had a great day getting out and active, and feeling connected to the school in a way they didn’t think was possible while staying at home.” ‘Track’ events included recording the distance traveled in 60 minutes of walking, running or cycling, and ‘field’ events included learning TikTok dances or completing physical challenges from viral videos. Students and teachers were also encouraged to dress up in their respective house colours and submit selfies or write team chants to earn points. Collectively, Nossal staff and students tallied up 310 hours activity in the track competition and travelled the distance of New Zealand - clocking up an impressive 1853 kilometres.
The virtual carnival proved a huge hit for the Nossal schooling community.

Staff and students got involved by dressing up in their house colours. Year 12 student Korsitha, who captained the winning House, was one of 350 students to take part in the virtual carnival. “Iso-letics was a really enjoyable experience and gave us an excuse to get up and be active,” said Year 12 student Korsitha, who captained the winning House. “It was pleasing to see everyone participate and contribute to their houses.”
Jumping for joy at the thought of getting active.

The Lynbrook Park home offers a wide range of aged care services, with devoted, respectful and high-quality care, including a dedicated Memory Support community. So, it’s nice to know that if care needs should change in the future, your family member can continue receiving excellent, specialist care in comfortable and familiar surroundings.
The company of a pet can help reduce overall stress and increase overall wellbeing. Knowing that your loved one is comfortable, well cared for and enjoying their life will always be important to you. You have the se-
curity of having 24 hours clinical and medical support and assistance as well as access to visiting Allied Health Services including podiatry, dental, physiotherapy and more. Through the monthly lifestyle program, staff fill your loved one’s every day with meaning and many happy moments. One of the most valued activities is Pet Therapy. The company of a pet can help reduce overall stress, especially for those living with dementia. Having an animal that senses emotions and also shows their own emotion through body language, can be highly soothing and help calm
a person down, particularly for those residents who experience communication struggles. Together with you and your loved one, staff develop an individualised care plan to match specific requirements. Everyone is treated with respect and dignity to ensure their individual needs, goals and preferences are at the centre of everything staff do.

Now more than ever, their passion for quality care, genuine support, security, safety and fun has seen residents continue to thrive. Regis Cranbourne has been delivering quality aged care services at the same address in Junction Village for over 20 years. Their success comes from their driven team who are constantly finding new ways to enhance care and services. Regis Cranbourne staff work hard to keep residents and their families supported, engaged and, most importantly, content. COVID-19 has presented everyone with new and unexpected challenges. With a mantra of “social distancing does not have to mean social isolation”, Regis recognises that connection with loved ones is always important and in times of crisis it is vital. While Covid-19’s threat to older Australians has seen providers put strict protections in place, Regis Cranbourne’s
homes have been pooling their years of experience to maintain connection and positivity. Facility manager Alan Bouchereau says the atmosphere at Regis Cranbourne is vibrant and homely. Initiatives like the “Windows of Connection” have been a great and safe success. Families sit outside the home and talk to their loved one on a phone. The chance to talk “face to face” through a door or window with no risk of Covid-19 has been appreciated. Regis delivered additional iPads and SurfaceGo tablets within the first weeks of the pandemic crisis. Homes coordinate video chatting with loved ones as well as engaging with health professionals such as doctors through Telehealth so that residents can attend appointments without leaving the safety of their home. New pastimes have been discovered and meal times have been adjusted to enable residents to eat at a safe distance, while remaining social and engaged with those around them.

Downsizing to freedom With economic downturn hitting the superannuation portfolios of self-funded retirees, downsizing may offer an antidote. You could unlock equity in your in-demand suburban family home and enjoy a blissfully debt-free retirement. But financial benefits are just one perk in joining the downsizing trend. Maintaining a large family home is daunting. Without lawns to mow or unused bedrooms to dust, there’s more time to enjoy life. That extra freedom could see you spending
time with loved ones or discovering new passions and hobbies. Secure communities with onsite managers to watch your home and community gardeners, provide peace of mind so homeowners can take a holiday at short notice or get away for an extended period, whether a carefree trip abroad or hitching a caravan to explore Australia. There’s never been a greater need for community spirit, yet our suburbs are characterised by single resident homes, surrounded
by younger, faceless neighbours who are less community minded. Gwyneth and Terry, homeowners at Lifestyle Officer, understood the importance of belonging to a community where social interaction is built into everyday life. “After living in our previous home for 18 years we hardly knew any of our neighbours, but here we’ve met lots of new friends.” Lifestyle Kaduna Park in Officer South of-

Fev is fuelling AFL dreams By Nick Creely For Mark Bowness and his DreamFuel army, it’s all about dreaming big amidst what has been an extremely difficult time around the world. With Covid-19 and its devastating impact reaching every corner of the globe, Bowness is looking to change the way people think about their futures beyond the pandemic, and to start turning dreams into reality. He has launched a concept called DreamFuelling - with a quest of helping one million people turn their dreams into reality - whether it be through sport, travelling, education, business, music or even fixing a garden. It’s a concept that Bowness said was very much personal to him, and one that is driving him each and every day. “The concept is for all ages - with the way the world is at the moment, it’s easy to focus on the negatives, the economic impacts on employment, all of that stuff,” he said. “It’s my belief that if we focused on the dreams that we have, and we take action on those dreams, it’ll change the situation that the world is in. “I’ve been through my own personal experience, where I hit a rock-bottom moment with my marriage ending and I could have gone one way or the other, but I focused on my own dream which was launching a business that became a TV show in three countries, so it comes from that personal experience. “The idea, DreamFuelling, is a website where people can come and share what their dream is, and we can send out the dreams each week, and see how we can make them a reality.” And the first DreamFuellers came to three lucky teenagers from the south east recently, with aspiring AFL and AFLW footballers Dantae Saouma from Lynbrook, and Zac Rob and Taya Rob from Beaconsfield lucky enough to pick the brains of AFL champion, media personality and south east favourite son Brendan Fevola about what it takes to make it to the highest level, and to take some inspiration from his story of perseverance in making it to the AFL. The 623-goal ex-Carlton and Brisbane fullforward - who came through Beaconsfield and the Dandenong Stingrays - spoke to the aspiring AFL footballers about the importance of training, work ethic, the sacrifices required, diet, education, as well as the general dedica-
Fevola spoke to the three lucky teenagers recently about what it takes to make it to the highest level.
AFL great Brendan Fevola has a long association with the south east. 154791 Picture: ROB CAREW tion that comes with being a professional athlete. Bowness said the three children stood out amongst an incredibly overwhelming amount of applications, and praised Fevola’s openness about his experiences with the football-loving teenagers. “We saw the drive that they have, and we
wanted to try and make that happen,” he said. “We were inundated with applications to see Brendan - we had a call with the children and had conversations to see who would be a good fit. “They were overwhelmed, and they turned up on the day with some solid questions - what was really exciting from Brendan’s perspective,
and the AFL perspective, is that you can look at sporting heroes and what they do but to go in depth and ask about daily regimes, food, what it was like balancing education and football. “It was a great one-on-one experience they got to have with him - it made their own dream possible, he was totally relatable. “It’s easy to look up to these heroes and think they have it different from what we have - seeing a normal human being like everyone else chasing a dream, that’s the essence of DreamFuelling. “That was really inspiring to see.” With the chance to chat in-depth with three talented teenagers hoping to one day play in the AFL, Fevola said DreamFuelling is an incredible opportunity to give back to people desperate to fulfil their dreams. “I know what it’s like to have a dream, to have dreams become reality and to have dreams smashed,” he said. “One of the things I love about this project is that it is inspiring people - at this moment in time, who are maybe focusing on fear, to focus on making things happen for their lives and as a result this will positively impact our communities, Australia and the world around us. “As soon as I heard about DreamFuelling I wanted to offer my time to fuel the dreams of young aspiring AFL players, enabling them to ask the questions that they really want to ask that will help to turn their dreams into reality. “I am so pleased that the young individuals chosen are from the part of Australia that I grew up in, an area that has given me so much. I hope that during our conversation I gave as much as I could back.” For more information, head to dreamfuelling.com
Can’t stop the Bronski Beat By Mick Floyd
Bronski Beat, pictured with Brendan and Blake Pursell, caused a major upset in a thrilling conclusion to the RSN Sandown Cup. Picture: SUPPLIED cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au
Bronski Beat caused a major upset by clinging on to victory in a thrilling conclusion to the RSN Sandown Cup last Thursday night. As he did in his heat the week prior, Bronski Beat speared straight to the front and opened a big gap over the field with a lap to go. He maintained that margin down the back straight but began to tire as he swung for home. True Detective bore down hard on the tiring leader and He Shall Power flashed home late, however Bronski Beat had just enough in the tank to cling to a thrilling victory by half a length in 41.86. The race panned out exactly as trainer Brendan Pursell had hoped, providing him with his first group 1 victory. “When I went through the field I thought if he could jump the same as he did last week he might be able to get across,” said an elated Pursell. “If he can get up outside the other dogs at the first turn now he can burn them off. It worked out that way, but I certainly wasn’t expecting it to be honest.” The punters weren’t expecting the victory either, with Bronski Beat attracting just three percent of the support with tab.com.au. His $18.20 starting price was the third blowout result in the five editions of the RSN Sandown Cup following Bells Are Ringin’ in 2016 ($38.40) and Rajasthan in 2019 ($34.20). It also continued Pursell’s remarkable run of well-priced winners. His RSN Sandown Cup
victory was his 10th winner at Sandown Park in May, returning an average starting price of $15.10. “No, you don’t need to be when you’re running around for good money,“ he said. “I’ve had a good run lately. The dogs have been going well and they’ve been getting to the front which is good. Most races are won from out in font so that’s where you want to be. “ Bred in Pursell’s home state of Tasmania, Bronski Beat was purchased by Pursell as a three-month-old pup and was the realisation of long term planning by Pursell. “Rob Britton used to train the mother (Ainsley Bale) and I used to see what she could do on the trial tracks,“ he said. “She had a real big motor and I always thought when she breeds I might buy a pup out of her. I knew the person that bred her so I rang him and bought the pup when he was three months of age. “We broke him in ourselves and did the whole lot with him. Everyone knows how hard it is, so to get one to win a race like this, it’s pretty special.” While crowds continue to be prohibited at the track, Pursell was delighted to be able to share the victory with his son, Blake, who handled Bronski Beat in the final. Earlier in the night, the country’s top ranked sprinter Simon Told Helen won for the third time in three weeks at Sandown Park, holding off Tiggerlong Tonk and Mepunga Pegasus in a blanket finish of the Gr8 Eight event.

The Seagulls reunited last week for the first time, face-to-face, in the Covid-19 era. 209064

They’re birds of a feather By sports editor Russell Bennett The boys at the Seagulls’ nest at Tooradin know they may not even get the chance to run out just after 2pm on a Saturday this season. They know that a call on whether or not there will even be a community footy season is out of their control. But last week their return to training wasn’t so much about preparing for a possible 2020 campaign. It was more about an incredibly tightknit group of mates banding together, once again, as a collective. Even standing out on the same field once again - albeit while practicing physical distancing - meant the world to them. “For us, we have no control over what happens - whether there’s a 2020 season or not,” Tooradin Dalmore senior football coach Lachie Gillespie told the Star News. “The only thing we’ve got control over is providing somewhere for our players and the rest of our club people to come to. “As restrictions continue to gradually wind back, that’ll become easier. “At the moment it’s pretty strict, but even having smaller groups and allowing our footballers and netballers to catch up face-to-face again - that’s what we’re focusing on at the moment. “It’s super important for our people and their mental health that they can reconnect, and obviously maintaining physical health

through exercise is important regardless of if we can actually play footy and netball this year or not.” Football and netball clubs mean so much more to their people, and their communities, than the few hours of play each Saturday. “For your grandparents, your husbands or wives, and even your kids who aren’t even playing football or netball yet - the connection a club like ours provides means everything,” Gillespie said. “It drives the community. We’ve always known that, but this situation we’ve all found ourselves in has delivered a real reminder of it. “What’s really hurt us is that we haven’t been able to be together over this really challenging period.” Tooradin Dalmore is one of the tightest knit community sporting clubs anywhere in
Gippsland, and its people just want to be able to wrap their arms around each other again at least metaphorically, while physical distancing measures remain in place. “We’re training so we’re ready to go in case the season does start up, but it’s more about us being such a close group of mates and we just want to maintain that connection with each other,” Gillespie explained. “It’s good for our people, it’s good for our club, and it’s good for our community.” Moving forward, as the restrictions change and more information continues to come to hand, the Gulls will continue to adapt and roll with the punches. It’s all they can do. “If West Gippy shuts down for the season we’ll readjust, but at the moment we’re training two nights per week and we’ve got the flex-
ibility to really turn this situation into a positive for us,” Gillespie said. “Personally, I’m looking for ways for us to continue to have that camaraderie and culture of togetherness whether we can return to the field and the court on the weekends or not. “Something that’s really held us together in recent times has been our character and grit in the face of some really difficult periods. “That’s toughened us up, and it’s almost helped form part of our DNA. People who come to our club really feel that connection to each other, and that buy-in that a lot of the really, really good clubs in our community have. “Seeing people’s faces and having a laugh has been great. “To be honest, we might just be one of the most ruthless clubs in West Gippy in terms of how we pay out on each other, but it’s great fun being back together again.” Last week, the Gulls reformed at both ‘The Nest’ at the Tooradin Recreation Reserve, and also just down the highway at Rutter Park. It was in smaller groups, but it was a start. “You play sport for that connection, ultimately,” Gillespie said. “It’s for connection, and for an outlet for those times each week that we’re together. It’s a release for all of us. “It could be four degrees outside and hailing down, but when you’re together you can look back on those times as some of the best you’ve had.”

Eagles and Doves clash By Russell Bennett Toughness, togetherness, and a genuine sense of community - they were the common traits of the Cranbourne and Doveton senior footy sides that helped set them apart from the pack in South West Gippsland throughout the 1980s and 1990s. As the Pakenham-Berwick Gazette explored in part one of their rivalry story last week ‘When the big birds soared’ - it wasn’t all that long ago that both the Doves and the Eagles ruled the south-eastern skies. Their rivalry was truly as thick as the blood that often flowed between them out on the ground. But underpinning it all - off the field - was a genuine respect born out of characters from such similar working class communities and backgrounds coming together for the pride of their colours. They were hardened by the streets they grew up on and the neighbourhoods they proudly called home. They were loyal as the day is long, and the first to acknowledge when they’d been beaten, fair and square. The Doves won the senior SWGFL flags in 1979, 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1988 in an astonishing era as an uncompromising force. The Eagles claimed their own three-peat from 1985 to 1987, before the Doves famously fought back to snap their quest for four in a row (1988). Still starving for more success, Cranbourne then claimed another three on the trot from 1989 to 1991, before also winning in 1993, and again in 1995 - the club’s first season in the MPNFL. In the 11 seasons from 1985 to 1995, Cranbourne won eight senior flags, finished runner-up twice, and also finished in the top four on another occasion. Staggeringly, of those eight premierships, five came against Doveton.
Doveton icon Steve Henwood caught up with legendary former Cranbourne coach Darryl Nisbet at an Eagles reunion in 2015. But in the early 1980s, the Eagles were on their knees - scraping together what they could to even survive as a club. Their turnaround in the space of just a couple of seasons is the stuff of legend, and it’s fitting they had legendary leader Darryl Nisbet at the helm of the senior side. The lasting legacy he left at the Eagles was truly a transformative one - in the eyes of everyone he even came into contact with at the nest back then.
“We had to rise - we didn’t have a choice,” he explained to the Gazette in last week’s story. “They club was on its knees and owed a lot of money. “Doveton, meanwhile, was winning premiership after premiership. They came out of the Federal league and that toughened them right up as a club - not that they needed it. “When they came back to our comp (the SWGFL), they were a real force. “They were hard as nails and had a way
about them - their culture and code of conduct on the footy field was terrific. It was everything you’d wish for from a footy side - tough, hard, skilful, fast, uncompromising. They embodied all the things you’d try and instil in your own side. They had it all in bucket loads.” The Eagles learnt from the best.

The 2020/21 WNBL season is set to be delayed to late November in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, but the national women’s basketball league is still expected to get in a full season. Basketball Australia confirmed last week, in consultation with the WNBL commission, that the season is set to kick off on 20 November, with the grand final series then scheduled to occur between 25 to 31 March 2021. It’s also been confirmed that the WNBL season will comprise 21 home-and-away games per team. The finals series is set to begin in midMarch and conclude by the end of March. The decision by Basketball Australia to delay the season was made to align with the expected state and federal government Covid-19 restrictions in regards to a return to play for elite sport and public movement between states and territories. Basketball Australia has also planned on a scenario where games can be played without fans in attendance until at least Christmas, due to limits on mass gatherings. Basketball Australia head of women basketball Lauren Jackson said it was important to communicate to the clubs and league about how best to operate as times continually change. “To enable the league and clubs to operate their businesses accordingly and to give fans and broadcasters clarity over the new season, we are prepared to start the 2020-21 Chemist Warehouse WNBL season without fans should current Covid-19 restrictions on mass gatherings remain in place,” she said. “Should restrictions ease over the coming months, we will adapt accordingly with the view to our passionate members and fans being able to attend games when it’s safe and viable to do so.” While there is still uncertainty surrounding mass gatherings, Jackson said it was vital that they ensured a stable season structure and don’t reduce the current minimum player payment for Australian athletes.
