Walk of life to school Students from Bridgewood Primary School were among the thousands of school children who walked to school on Friday 14 May as part of the National Walk Safely to School Day. In its 22nd year, the annual community event encourages primary school aged children to commute safely to school to promote road safety, health, public transport and the environment. Gembrook MP Brad Battin met with Bridgewood students in grade four and five to talk about the benefits of walking to school. Bridgewood student Shrish was enthusiastic about the day. “Walking to school, it can save the environment, because if you go by car, all the toxic gas from it goes into the air and pollutes it. So walking to school is not only good for your body but it’s also good for the environment.“ Bridgewood Primary School students walked to school on Friday 14 May for National Walk Safely to School Day. 237420 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Road cash blow! By Shelby Brooks Funding for the $70 million Thompsons Road extension in Officer South has been pulled by the Federal Government to go towards other priority road upgrades in the area. Federal La Trobe MP Jason Wood blamed the State Government’s “blowout” spending on other road projects in the area, explaining that the $70 million had been relocated to fund the Pakenham road package, Clyde Road package, and Berwick train station car park. Mr Wood said the State Government had in-

creased the Pakenham roads package from $82 million to $350million and Clyde Road from $50 million to $250 million. “And for the life of me I can’t work out why the Berwick Train Station car park, after we’ve committed $15 million for that, has come back at $62 million from the State Government,” he said. “Councils in Maroonda have done it for less than $15 million.” Mr Wood said in 2019, the State and Federal Government had proposed to split the Thompsons Road upgrade cost of $140 mil-

lion, providing $70 million each. “And lo and behold they’ve come back and said it’s a $900 million road project,” Mr Wood said. “The minister has gone back to them and said hold on the money we have committed, the $70 million is going to be moved to offset some of the other massive road project blowouts. You go back and have a look at your figures and come back with another proposal.” But Bass MP Jordan Crugnale has slammed the Federal Government, saying she was disappointed they broke their election commit-

ment to extend Thompsons Road. “People voted for these local projects because it would make a difference to their lives and community. Therein lies the lesson for the Federal Government – just stop blaming the State Government and local councils,” she said. “Grow up, do your job and don’t say you will do something if you are not going to follow through with it. People go the polls and vote on election commitments and they should expect them to be delivered. Continued page 7

Pollies queue for the jab By Danielle Kutchel As the Covid-19 vaccine rollout continues, local politicians are amongst those rolling up their sleeves to help protect the community Bass MP Jordan Crugnale and Cranbourne MP Pauline Richards joined local Afghan community leader Rabia Safa at the Cranbourne Turf Club vaccination clinic to get their Covid shots. Afterwards, the trio spoke with the staff and nurses at the clinic. Ms Crugnale said she was proud to have received her first AstraZeneca shot. “It was a really proud moment to know I was doing my bit to keep our community safe. “The Monash Health team were so professional and caring and it was easy and quick. “The information was easy to understand and interpreters are available as well.“ Ms Richards encouraged eligible members of the community to get their Covid shot as soon as possible. “If like me you’re over 50, I urge you to head

to the Cranbourne Turf Club for your Covid-19 vaccination,“ she said. “This vaccine is free for all temporary visa holders, permanent residents and Australian citizens. “Monash Health are doing an excellent job and we’re fortunate to have this service in our community,“ she said. Ms Crugnale highlighted the importance of vaccination for reopening the country. “The sooner we get vaccinated the sooner we can open up to the world again which will mean so much for our families and friends overseas, Australians wanting to come home, trade and our local economy,“ she said. Australia is currently in phase 1a and 1b of its vaccination rollout. As well as mass vaccination hubs, people 50 years and over can receive the AstraZeneca vaccine at a participating general practice.

Truckie on manslaughter By Cam Lucadou-Wells A supervisor at a Lyndhurst trucking company is facing manslaughter charges over the death of four police officers on Eastern Freeway, Kew. Simiona Tuteru, 49, was charged as the direct supervisor of Connect Logistics truckie Mohinder Bajwa Singh who fatally ran down the police officers in an emergency lane on 22 April 2020. Without braking, Singh’s prime mover ploughed into two parked police vehicles and Richard Pusey’s intercepted Porsche about 5.36pm. In a committal hearing at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 17 May, defence lawyer David Hallowes SC said Singh was expected to testify against Tuteru as a prosecution witness. Singh’s daughter Harpreet Bajwa, 21, told the court under cross-examination that she told Singh to stay home on the afternoon of the crash.

“He said he absolutely needed to (go to work) otherwise he’d be fired,” she told the court. “The way he was acting that day scared me. I thought he was going to kill someone if he drove.” He appeared “pretty terrified”. His eyes were “racing”, his pupils dilated and he kept repeating himself without making sense. “I knew … there was something wrong with him that day,” she’d told the court. Ms Bajwa recorded him for two-and-a-half minutes to show her mother. In a police statement, she said Singh was not making sense and spoke of a witch following him. He left for work for an “interview” in a knitted jumper and casual clothing, rather than a high-vis top that he’d usually wear, she told the court. She told him to see a doctor. “Dad was adamant that he was only going

to work for the interview to get fired, not to work,” she stated to police. She had never seen Singh use drugs but noticed his mental health decline over time, she said. After the crash, methamphetamine and amphetamine was detected in Singh’s blood. The 0.58 grams per litre of methylamphetamine was a “high” reading, forensic physician Dr Sanjeev Gaya wrote in a statement tendered at the court. In his statement, Dr Gaya said the timing of Singh’s ice use was unable to be determined from the reading. In his opinion, Singh was incapable of having proper control of a vehicle due to impairment from ice. Such intoxication makes drivers more likely to drive erratically and drift across lanes. Meth may also cause “sudden and irresistible” rebound fatigue – which may be an even

greater threat to road safety, Dr Gaya stated. Tuteru faces 82 charges, including the manslaughter of Victoria Police officers Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, Constable Glen Humphris, Senior Constable Kevin King and Constable Joshua Prestney He is accused of multiple breaches of the National Heavy Vehicle Law and several counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception. The offences include causing or encouraging Singh to drive and failing to take reasonable steps to prevent Singh driving a “fatigue regulated heavy vehicle” while knowing the driver was “fatigued, impaired by drugs and unfit to drive”. In April, Singh, of Cranbourne, was jailed for up to 22 years for culpable driving causing the officers’ deaths as well as trafficking meth, cannabis and 1,4-butanediol. Magistrate Luisa Bazzani is presiding over the committal hearing.

Firebird swoops in for a special stop on schoolgrounds By Gabriella Payne The staff and students at Beaconhills College’s Pakenham campus gathered around the school oval for a special sight late Wednesday morning, as a Microflite, firefighting helicopter, the ‘Firebird 300’, swooped in for an exciting visit. The kids’ anticipation grew as the chopper slowly came into sight, getting closer and closer and finally touching down right in front of the eager crowd and once the engines had powered down, they ran over for a closer inspection of the impressive aircraft. The headmaster of Beaconhills College, Tony Sheumack, said that it was an exciting day for the students and a great opportunity to learn more about firefighting and fire prevention from the air. “I think everybody loves an experience, don’t they? Particularly those who have never been in front of a helicopter like this, they’re going to go home and think this is the best day of their lives!” Mr Sheumack said. “We’re delighted that we’re able to have [the Microflite team] here, it’s just fantastic to have the kids experience these real life situations.” Once landed, the firebird’s pilot, Neville Wright, gave a talk to the staff and students and explained a little bit about the helicopter’s special abilities and state of the art technology, including a run down on it’s military grade, million dollar camera. “Believe it or not, sometimes the firemen go to a fire and they can’t find the fire, they get in the bush and all they see is smoke,” Mr Wright explained. “So what we do is we go in first, we find the fire as we’ve got a special camera up the front which is an infra-red camera and that can actually see through the smoke. It has a laser on it, and the laser will run an edge around the fire and get the coordinates of it and then we can download that via these aerials, and then live feed it down to the trucks and back to the fire stations as well,” he said. “It’s an amazing concept and top of the range technology.” Mr Wright explained that the military grade camera was up there with some of the “best firefighting technology in the world” and could hone in on even the smallest details from great distances. “The other year, from 10,000 feet, we

zoomed through the smoke and we could see a guy leaning against his car having a smoke - from 10,000 feet I could see his cigarette,” he said. “That’s how good this camera is, it’s unbelievable.” Kids from all year levels came along to see the helicopter up close including primary age students and year 11 physics students, but the year six kids had a particular interest in the chopper’s fire fighting abilities, as they

were currently studying a natural disasters subject at school. The Principal of Beaconhills College’s Pakenham campus, Sarah Rudiger, said that this experience had been particularly special as many students had been impacted by bushfires in their lifetime. “Recently our year six students have been learning about bushfires - how they are managed and responded to in culturally diverse ways,” Ms Rudiger said.

“This has been particularly relevant for many of our families who were impacted by the Gembrook bushfires in 2019. Our students have been looking forward to the visit from the Microflite team and the opportunity to learn about how helicopters are being used to fight fires and to see the types of technologies being used up close. This has been an incredible experience our students will remember for many years to come,” she said.

A sneak peek of Homie’s interactive projection installation.

Unfurling innovative art By Gabriella Payne The best shows always start with a bang, and the opening night of the Art Show Pakenham is set to do just that - with an interactive digital art project looking to kick things off in style. Talented multi-media specialist Homie will enthrall audiences and transform the Cardinia Cultural Centre at the show’s opening night on Friday 28 May with his monochromatic art projection, which will set a hypnotic backdrop for the highly anticipated Wearable Art Parade. Working with visual effects, video production and projection mapping, Homie’s projection, titled ‘Unfurl’, is a form of interactive art and will be reactive to movement on the night - creating a stunning display that will morph as the models in the Wearable Art Parade present

their colourful attire. The black and white linework of Homie’s installation is set to provide a stark contrast to the colourful garments in the parade, and the audience should be in for a real treat as both traditional and contemporary arts combine. “‘Unfurl’ keeps in mind the theme ‘Equivocal’, as the nature of the work remains uncertain while giving occasional glimpses of the familiar silhouettes of our bodies,” Homie said. Having completed his master of animation, games, and interactivity at RMIT University and currently working as the Cardinia Shire Council’s multimedia officer, Homie clearly has the skills and experience to make this night one like no other, and the artist said he was looking forward to the big reveal. Art Show Pakenham event coordinator, Jil-

lian Ronald, said that she and the team were also excited to see the end results. “We are very excited to have this opportunity to work with Homie,” Ms Ronald said. “It will make opening night something special and I encourage everyone to come and experience this. The Wearable Art Parade and the Equivocal Room work in synergy to create an event where art is creative and contemporary.” Tickets for opening night are limited and must be pre-booked at https://www.trybooking.com/BPJKA The Art Show Pakenham will run for a further two weekends after opening night, from Saturday 29 May until Sunday 6 June and will feature over 300 artworks for viewing and sale.

Students at the school had lots of questions for Mr Merlino and Ms Crugnale.

Works for growing school By Gabriella Payne Students and staff at Pakenham’s Edenbrook Secondary College welcomed some special visitors last week, as the Acting Premier and Minister for Education James Merlino and Bass MP Jordan Crugnale came past to reveal some exciting news. Mr Merlino and Ms Crugnale swung by to announce that Edenbrook could expect to see construction work commence on the final stage of their new state-of-the-art facilities

very soon - a welcome announcement for the young, growing school. Having only opened in 2021, Edenbrook Secondary College is one of 100 new schools that the state government is rolling out across the state. Ms Crugnale said that it was great to visit the school on the morning of Wednesday 12 May and share the good news with staff and students. “The Acting Premier and I visited the school

to let them know that construction will start on their final stage in coming weeks,” Ms Crugnale said. “We always said we would finish what we started – and that is exactly what we are doing.” The second stage of construction at Edenbrook will include a new administration building, a new competition grade gym and performing arts spaces, two soccer pitches, and more classrooms.

Ms Crugnale said that this new stage of construction would see the facilities completed by the end of 2022 and would allow Edenbrook Secondary College to “expand to become a fully equipped school in one of Victoria’s fastest growing regions”. Overall, Ms Crugnale said that her and Mr Merlino had had a “great day” with the “wonderful students and amazing teaching and support staff”, and she looked forward to seeing the end results of the project.

Workshops to show mental health matters among emergency volunteers The Emergency Services Foundation is bringing its Mental Health Matters program for emergency service volunteers to Cranbourne. The one-day event is provided with support from the State Government and will take place at the Cranbourne Golf Club on Sunday 23 May. Designed especially for emergency service volunteers, the workshops aim to bring together and support volunteers from across the sector including CFA, SES, Ambulance Victoria, St John Ambulance, Red Cross, Life Saving, Victorian Council of Churches Emergency Ministry, and others from the local area. The interactive workshops will be facilitated by mental health professionals from OzHelp, alongside volunteers who will share their lived experience of mental health struggles in the hope of improving understanding about mental health conditions and reducing stigma. The program will provide participants with a deeper understanding of the many factors that influence our mental health and wellbeing and how to apply these learnings in caring for ourselves and our colleagues in a volunteer team environment. Siusan MacKenzie, CEO at the Emergency Services Foundation said: “One in five Australians report having some sort of mental health condition. “Gone are the days when there is any shame in putting your hand up for help. “I encourage people to take this opportunity to understand how we can protect our own wellbeing.” Participants will leave the workshops:

Local volunteers will be able to learn more about mental health.

· Able to recognise early indicators of distress in themselves and colleagues. · More confident in being able to check in with people if they show signs of distress. · Understanding the factors which influence wellbeing. · Knowing where to access mental health support and resources. · Knowing how leaders (formal and informal)

can support the mental health and wellbeing of a team. Trevor Owen, CFA Deputy Chief Officer South East Region is very pleased to see this program offered locally.

“These workshops are for every emergency service volunteer. We all need to be able to recognise the signs and symptoms of distress so we can be there to support our mates and family when they need us – even though they may not recognise they need help,” he said. The workshops are free, fully catered and all emergency service volunteers are welcome to attend and bring a partner or friend if they want.

From page 1 “Am sure Mr Wood will come out and say, ‘but roads are state and local government responsibilities,’ again as a deflection, as the Federal Government have been funding roads for years even have a ‘Local Roads and Community Infrastructure fund’ for councils to apply. Mr Wood won’t come out and say that their election commitment for on ramps at McGregor Road and works along Racecourse Road in Pakenham were not properly funded by his Liberal Government in the first place which is why we have seen it come up again in their latest budget big roads package for Pakenham.” Back in 2016, Cardinia and Casey councils teamed up to lobby the Federal Government for funding for the proposed duplication and extension of Thompsons Road, providing a crucial link to Pakenham, Cranbourne and Carrum. The extension was proposed from Berwick-Cranbourne Road to Cardinia Road. Cardinia Shire Mayor Brett Owen said council was aware of the reports. “The council will continue to advocate to both State and Federal Governments for funding towards this vital community infrastructure project,” he said. “This project will assist in providing access to local employment precincts, including the opening up of 60,000 jobs at the future Cardinia Employment Precinct, and will reduce reliance on the Monash Freeway.“

JPs move to a new home By Danielle Kutchel

The JPs receive their certificates of service. 238116

Narre Warren Justices of the Peace have moved to a new home. From Monday 17 May, Justices of the Peace (JPs) are no longer housed at Narre Warren Police Station. Instead, they can now be found at the Bunjil Place Library.

The JPs will still perform the same services at their new location. Police at Narre Warren Police Station held a special morning tea on Friday 14 May to thank the Justices for their service. Police praised the “familiar faces” that had spent years helping out at the station, taking workload pressure off the police, and described their work as “invaluable”. “We want to take this opportunity of having you all here together to thank you wholeheartedly and sincerely for the hard work and camaraderie over the years,” said Senior Sergeant at Narre Warren Police Station, Graeme Stanley. “JPs have provided a lot of comfort to us. “You will be sadly missed.” Awards were also presented to the JPs for their years of service, including awards for 10, 15 and 20 years of work. Wendy Cantwell, coordinator of the Casey Library roster of JPs, said the new set up at Bunjil Place would work well. She encouraged anyone who needed a document witnessed to drop in. Ms Cantwell said the JPs come from a diverse cross-section of the community, and are able to help people for whom English is not their first language. She also encouraged others to become a Justice of the Peace, even if they can only give two hours a month. “It’s a great community service,” she said. JPs will be at Bunjil Place Library MondayFriday, from 10am-12pm, 2pm-4pm and 5pm7pm. Justice of the Peace services are also located at Balla Balla Community Centre in Cranbourne East, Greater Dandenong Library in Dandenong and Springvale Library in Springvale.

Embrace reconciliation Cardinia Shire residents are invited to recognise National Reconciliation Week 2021 by taking part in local events exploring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures. National Reconciliation Week takes place every year from 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey: the successful 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision. It is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. Cardinia Shire Mayor Brett Owen encouraged residents to join in on local events which include art exhibitions, workshops, storytelling and movie screenings. “As a council, we’re committed to reconciliation and acknowledge the historic and continuing link of the Aboriginal people to the land,” Cr Owen said. “This is achieved through measures like our Statement of Reconciliation and our Reconciliation Action Plan which outlines practical actions Council will take to drive greater equality, build strong relationships and enhance respect between Aboriginal people, Council and the Cardinia Shire community. “I encourage all residents to take part in this year’s National Reconciliation Week events. We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and by gaining awareness and knowledge, we can become empowered to take more substantive, brave actions on issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples,” he said. National Reconciliation Week will commence in Cardinia Shire with a flag-raising ceremony on Thursday 27 May at 12.30pm, outside the Cardinia Shire Civic Centre. Com-

It’s rewarding and the animals make me laugh,” Ms Davies said. “I go home thinking I’ve done something good with my time.” Over the years she said she has picked up lots of skills along the way, from general confidence-building to working as part of a team

and learning more about animal behaviour. Of course, working at the RSPCA isn’t without its challenges, and Ms Davies said there have been some sad stories. “It helps to remember that all of the animals that end up there are the lucky ones,” she said. “They’ve come to the right place for help, and it only gets better from here.” To find out more about National Volunteer Week, visit https://www.volunteeringaustralia.org/get-involved/nvw/

Stirring trouble By Mitchell Clarke

Stirring trouble By Mitchell Clarke It was the initiative that dished up smiles during lockdown, but now a decrepit looking Spoonville site in Pakenham is providing any-

It was the initiative that dished up smiles during lockdown, but now a decrepit looking Spoonville site in Pakenham is providing anything but joy. During the one hour exercise limit - which is now a distant memory - Spoonville sites across Cardinia Shire were the most popular place to visit. Despite the fad having died down entirely, the Cardinia Lakes community was understandably upset at news their local site appeared to have been targeted by cruel vandals. Estate resident Laksika noticed the destroyed site during her daily walk on Sunday 24 January. “I think someone has just walked over it or kicked them all over. It’s very sad to see it. We always used to stop there and have a look for new ones,” she wrote on Facebook. The reaction from her neighbours was similar. “Absolutely disgusting. The highlight of our walk is our toddler stopping to look and admire the spoons,” one local woman said. “That’s so disappointing. My kids had spoons in there,” another woman added. Pakenham Hills Ward councillor Jack Kowarzik said the news was “really frustrating”. “Spoonville was created by locals for the enjoyment of local children and to see it vandalised is disappointing,” he said. Cardinia Art Society president Jillian Ronald described Spoonville as an “amazing initiative” during Melbourne’s lengthy lockdown. “It’s given joy and positivity in some very dark times and I just think it’s really disappointing that, when the community put together a project to support each other during a difficult time, that someone would take the trouble to destroy it. They’d be better off going home to create a spoon and putting it with

The quirky saga soon made its way to Cardinia - after Australia’s first ever site was constructed up the highway in Longwarry. Within weeks, the site had spread to Pakenham, Officer, Garfield, Nar Nar Goon, Emerald and Beaconsfield.

Ms Ronald acknowledged the Spoonville craze had now hit a dead end. “They’re getting a little bit tired, so maybe it’s time for the spoons to come home,” she said. Ms Ronald, who commissioned the two local sites at Lakeside in Pakenham, encouraged community members to collect their spoons from their local sites. She added that in mid-February she’d look to clean up all remaining Spoonville’s and relocate any leftover spoons to an “undisclosed location”.

Whenever Stephanie Davies leaves the RSPCA’s Burwood shelter for the day, she knows she’s made a positive contribution with her time. The volunteer of three years, who lives in the City of Casey, is just one of many who keep the RSPCA’s shelters running smoothly. Ms Davies said she first began volunteering with the animal welfare organisation after her

own cat passed away. Originally she joined the foster care program, which helped her recover from her loss. Keen to get more involved, she joined up as a volunteer. Her days are varied, but ultimately her work takes some of the pressure off the paid employees and allows them to get on with the jobs they need to do, she explained.

Bass MP Jordan Crugnale helps turn the first sod at the site of the future Pakenham Lakeside Scout Hall on Wednesday afternoon. Pictures: SUPPLIED, SCOUTS VIC

Jordan Crugnale speaks to the Pakenham Lakeside Scouts on Wednesday, alongside their leader, Steve German (left).

A hall to call home at last It’s been a long time coming, but the Lakeside Pakenham Scout group are thrilled that works on their new permanent home are finally underway - with the construction of a new Scout hall set to begin in the near future. Thanks to a $550,000 contribution from the state government and plenty of local fundraising, the Scout group will finally have a permanent hall to call home just behind Pakenham Lakeside Primary School, located on Shearwater Drive. Bass MP Jordan Crugnale joined the Lakeside Pakenham Scouts on Wednesday 12 May to turn the first sod at the site of the future hall, which when finished, will provide space for the Scouts to grow into the future and continue connecting with the community. “It’s wonderful to be part of this partner-

ship building a new hall for Lakeside Pakenham Scouts — where our youth can meet, learn valuable life skills and participate in adventure-filled activities for years to come,” Ms Crugnale said. The leader of the Lakeside Pakenham Scouts group, Steve German, said that it was exciting to see things finally falling into place, as the group had been without a base camp for some time now. “It’s been a long time coming,” Mr German said. “It’ll be great to see the fruits of our labour per se, like hanging awards on the walls, and our progress charts - but more importantly, just having somewhere they can call home.” Mr German said that currently, the Lakeside Pakenham Scout groups were split between two sites and kept their belongings locked up in a shipping container - so this new

hall couldn’t come any sooner. “[The new hall] will provide us with a lot more opportunity to grow, and more visibility which is what we need,” he said. “I think it will really sink in once the excavators move in, but it’s very exciting indeed and we’re really looking forward to it.” The new $1.1 million Scout hall is set to be completed by March next year, and is part of the state government’s larger $5.5 million commitment to build and upgrade Scout halls statewide. The Minister for Youth, Ros Spence, said that it was great to see facilities like these being built for such a worthy organisation. “We are proud to support the growing number of young Victorians building their skills and community connections through scouting,” Ms Spence said.

The scouts can’t wait to have a place to call their permanent home.

The Cardinia Shire MEMPC is the peak planning body for emergency management within the Cardinia Shire municipal district. It is an official committee of Emergency Management Victoria. It is the forum for government and non-government agencies to develop policies, procedures, strategies and frameworks to support coordinated emergency management planning for the municipality. It’s works helps our communities to prepare, response and recovery from emergencies. Expressions of interest to join the committee as a community representative are now open. People from all backgrounds across the shire are invited apply to.

Scout leaders are hoping that the new hall will allow even more kids to get involved in scouting.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Jan Whitaker, president of Berwick Evening VIEW Club

How did you originally get involved in VIEW? Like many of our members, I was invited by a VIEW member to come to a meeting in 2006 to find out what the group was about. I also was asked to do a presentation on my experiences in writing a novel with a team of people. What’s involved in being VIEW president? It is an honour to be president of our club. This is the second time I have held this office. The main functions are to chair both the main meetings and committee meetings, set the agendas for both each month, be aware of the VIEW rules, and generally coordinate our activities. The president also attends inter-club meetings such as galas and receptions. Due to Covid, these have been on hold for awhile. What has been the best day of your life so far? That’s a hard one! I think it’s when I got on the plane in Arizona to finally come to Australia permanently back in 1995. It was a dream come true. Being from the US, what would you say are some of the biggest differences between the US and Australia? Language, even though we both speak a form of English. When I first arrived, I would go home totally exhausted from listening closely and trying to understand not only how something was said, but what it means. Now I don’t even notice the difference. And yes, I fell for the “bring a plate” difference. What are your favourite things about the two countries? I love the multiple cultures here. Unless you live in a very large city in the US, you are unlikely to mix with people from so many different places. My favourite things about the US are the friends and family I’ve left behind. I do miss them. Which six people, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? We did this game at a recent VIEW Club meet-

Jan Whitaker, president of Berwick Evening VIEW Club. ing. I will share three. Mine would all be ancestors. I’ve been doing a lot of family history research lately, my Covid “occupation”. One is my ninth great grandmother, Grietje Cozyn, who was born in the 1600s in New Amsterdam (New York City today) who was a remarkable woman, married three times, first at age 13, and eventually settled with her family on 16,000 acres from Bergen, New Jersey to West Point. Her last home still exists and was used twice by George Washington (well after her death) as headquarters near the end of the New York campaign of the American Revolution. That house is still standing. Another would be my sixth great grandfather in a different line, John Lipsey from County Tyrone in Ireland, who fought in the American Revolutionary War and was sent to recover from illness at George Washington’s plantation, Mount Vernon. A fifth great grandfather, George Henry Crist Sr started with Washington even earlier, when great grandpa and his brothers joined Washington while he still fought for the British

against the French at the beginning of the Seven Year War, but they lost at Braddock’s Defeat in Pennsylvania. There are so many stories, and I would have loved to have them all meet each other at a dinner party to compare notes over the centuries and decades. What’s your go-to movie to make you laugh? Pass. What advice would you give your younger self? Something I learnt over time was that when things don’t go your way, something better comes along later. Don’t spend too much energy being sad, but look for the next opportunity. Life has a way of working out. Move on. What would your last meal be? Are you trying to tell me something? (hee hee) If I could have anything, I would choose either lobster tail and/or Dungeness crab legs. I was in Alaska once and disappointed that they exported the famous Alaskan King Crab so none was available - in Alaska. I was then introduced to Dungeness crab by the locals. It is even better! One of those lessons of not being too disappointed and finding the next better thing. Why should people join VIEW? VIEW Clubs are an opportunity to make new friendships, learn about our area, share new experiences and to give back by supporting The Smith Family’s Learning For Life program for disadvantaged students. Each letter of the name stands for something of value to our members. V is for Voice, which we use to speak to government on issues of interest to women and children. I is for interests, providing activities to enjoy common interests through E, education of each other and for personal development. And of course, W is for Women. So if this resonates with your readers, we would love to have them come along and see what we’re all about, either in our Berwick Evening VIEW Club, or in one of the others in Victoria closer to them.

THREE … easy ways to volunteer

Share your talents Every one of us has been blessed with different abilities, talents and capabilities. Why not share them with others? Whether that’s by mentoring someone in your field of work, by teaching someone to sew or paint, or by creating online content for volunteer organisations.

Visit a resident at an aged care centre Volunteers are often a source of entertainment and learning for people in care. You could teach a class, read a book, or just spend half an hour sharing tea, biscuits and stories. Opportunities for visiting older people living in care centres, or at home, are often advertised online.

Help the homeless There are plenty of ways you can help those in need, particularly as we head into winter. Donating warm clothes, blankets, food, and sanitary items to a homeless shelter takes very little time but can dramatically improve someone’s every day. Reach out to shelters and support services and ask how you can help.

Cheers to charity! By Gabriella Payne A glamorous night out is always a fun time, especially when it’s all in the name of a good cause! People from across Berwick came together at the Circa 1884 cocktail bar on Sunday 2 May, to raise their glasses and some much-needed funds for charity. The ‘Cocktail Masquerade’ event saw 50 ticket-holders raise over $5,000 for the John Mc Foundation, which helps support local soup kitchens and food vans throughout the area. Michelle Scott, one of the organisers of the event, said that it had been a fantastic night and it was great to see all their efforts pay off. “It went really well,” Ms Scott said. “There was a lot of lead up and we were extremely busy beforehand, but we managed to pull it all together and everyone had a great time.” Ms Scott wanted to thank everyone involved in making the night such a huge success, including Circa 1884 for hosting the event and everyone who came along and donated money in the raffles and auctions. “A huge thank you to Berwick Circa 1884 for holding the ‘Cocktail Masquerade’ event for 2021, and thank you to all the 50 ticket holders that helped raise over $5000 for the John Mc Foundation,” she said. “We would also like to thank all of our sponsors - we couldn’t have done it without their generous donations!” The night’s sponsors included Decor Additions Cranbourne West, Marnong Estate

Event organisers John McGreal and Michelle Scott (right) with the team at Circa 1884 and the oil painting donated by artist Lisandra Aralica. Picture: SUPPLIED Accommodation Mickleham, Mercedes-Benz Berwick, Perfect Pleasures Rosebud and Aqipa Australia. “Also a big thanks to our local artist Lisandra Aralica who volunteered over 100 hours to complete the spectacular oil painting,” Ms Scott said.

“This beautiful artwork was purchased by our hosting venue ‘Circa’ to help raise money for the foundation and now for all to enjoy.” John McGreal from the John Mc Foundation said that the money raised on the night would be going towards a range of local soup kitchens and food vans including Transit, The

Blessed Collective food support and the Vinnies food van - and he thanked Ms Scott for all her help in organising the event. For more information about the work that the foundation does, visit www.facebook.com/ johnmcfoundation/

“Women who’ve had gestational diabetes are ten times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, but only a third of these women understand that they are at high risk. “Being overweight is a common risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes, making post pregnancy weight loss important in preventing onset of this disease. “In our study, while 75 per cent of the women surveyed understood that they were overweight, this knowledge didn’t translate into a high level of perceived risk.” Co-researcher, UniSA’s Associate Professor Jennifer Keogh says diabetes prevention strategies must embrace both education and lifestyle. “Women diagnosed with gestational diabetes often have a young family, which means any interventions need to be considered in line with small children, busy lifestyles and multiple priorities,” Dr Keogh says. “The priority is to educate both women

While it’s an unfair reality that women who develop gestational diabetes are ten times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life, only a third of these women realise that they’re at high risk, according to new research by the University of South Australia. Conducted in partnership with the University College Dublin, the research examined the views of 429 Australian women with a history of gestational diabetes to establish their perceived risks of developing type 2 diabetes, potential barriers to losing weight, and useful strategies for supporting a healthy weight. Lead researcher, UniSA’s Kristy Gray says understanding the risks of developing type 2 diabetes post gestational diabetes is essential as prevention is the key. “Gestational diabetes is the fastest growing type of diabetes in Australia, affecting thousands of pregnant women each year; and globally, it affects almost one in five pregnancies,” Gray says.

Going pink to fight cancer By Danielle Kutchel There was a touch of pink in the air at Pakenham Bowls Club last month as guests arrived for a fun filled, cancer-kicking night. Around 80 people aged from nine to 94 attended the Girls’ Night In event on Friday 30 April to raise funds for the Cancer Council to help fight women’s cancers. Those who attended were clad in various shades of pink, from the delicate to the vivid, in keeping with the night’s theme. “There was an amazing energy in the room,” said co-host Claire Adcock. “It was great to have women together sup-

porting each other.” Guests were treated to a champagne tower, a fashion parade, silent auctions and sweet sounds from a local band. Many of those involved in the night had experienced cancer themselves or knew someone who had. Overall, the night raised more than $2000 for the Cancer Council – doubling the original goal of $1000. Ms Adcock said the night “ran like clockwork”. “The room was beautiful and the models were fabulous, and it was all worth it!” she said.

Rise of magnificent Mac By Tyler Lewis Mac Andrew’s atomic rise continues to grow, as the Dandenong Stingrays product is turning more heads in each game he plays. Standing at over 200cm with the capabilities to move like a midfielder, AFL clubs would be silly not to be impressed by the Berwick junior that was born in Egypt. Andrew – a Melbourne Next Generation Academy product – has emerged as one of the more exciting talents in the 2021 draft class, and it has come from hard-work over a long period. “I have been trying to get my fitness up so I can cover the ground a lot more,” Andrew said. “And (I’ve been working on) the fundamentals, I am trying to work on putting on size as well. “Working on whatever I can to play at the highest level I can. “I just feel like it is probably a lot easier to get a game when you can play multiple positions,” he said. As a kid growing up, many prospects idolise the best the top flight has to offer, but Andrew is different, he is idolising a player many have compared to him – one he may match-up on in the future. While also keeping his eyes firmly set on another goal, a goal the Dandenong Stingrays have been working on off the field. “I love watching (Brodie) Grundy, but recently Nik Cox, he is 200cm as well, similar build,” he said. “He has the ability to play wing, ruck, halfforward, half-back, I have been watching him a lot. “I want to be the best player I can be, whether that be even at VFL or local level; but I more want to inspire other Sudanese kids to play footy as well.” As he idolises one Nik Cox, he receives helpful guidance from a different Nick Cox each week. The latter, less surprised than some of Andrew’s mesmeric bolt in draft calculations. “We get to see our players every day, when they finally get to a level where they stand out, it is not a surprise to us,” Cox said. “It comes with time, 200cm, he has really good agility, he kicks the ball okay for a big bloke, he marks it well. “The rise has not been something we didn’t see coming, but it has been a pleasing one.

Mac Andrew is on fire this year, he is one to watch. 237620 “He has shown attributes that have got him to a level where people have taken notice. “We see these kids day in day out, we see what they go through and it has been really good to see this happen to a really good person in and out of footy. “The rise hasn’t been a complete shock for us, put it that way,” he said. Cox was happy with the comparison to Nik Cox from Essendon and visions Andrew could potentially play a similar role. “My namesake has changed the way 200cm players are playing now,” he said. “I can see him playing that type of role, not just key position or ruck, he can play outside with his running ability. “He is smart, he is understanding of roles within the team, at the next level he would be really versatile.

“His versatility is something I think going forward is going to be highlighted even more,” Cox said. Since Nick Cox took the reins of the Dandenong Stingrays, he has really honed in on a mantra of leaving a better footballer than walking in a success. The reality is, not everyone can be drafted. But some can be drafted later on, some can go on to have wonderful careers at VFL level and some produce some tremendous careers at local level. Despite the hype, Andrew mentioned he wanted to be the best footballer he can be, whichever level that may be. Comments that have made Cox proud, as it shows the Rays mantra is working. “That is probably a thing throughout the NAB League that we have tried to promote is

that there is different levels for everyone,” he said. “Our job is to make them better from when they walk in to when they walk out the door. “Sometimes it is going to be at VFL level, we think the VFL is the best competition in Australia outside of the AFL. “You have to be a really good player to play VFL, to hear Mac say that, it means that we are not giving our players false hope of everyone getting to AFL level. “Some might get an opportunity in the future, it is pleasing to hear and I think that goes to show what type of grounded person he is as well.” Andrew wasn’t selected for the Casey Demons, despite putting in a great week on the track and attracting some well-deserved attention, but it definitely won’t halt him in his continuous improvement in 2021.

Confident Cougars clawing up the premiership table By David Nagel Pakenham is climbing the Men’s State League 5 South table at a rapid rate after the Cougars secured a thumping 4-1 victory over Rosebud at Olympic Park on Saturday. The Cougars are one of the in-form teams in the competition after strong victories over Mentone (1-0), Mt Martha (3-0) and Rosebud over the last three weeks of the season. The Cougars have now climbed to third place on the table after putting the home team to the sword in the opening 40-minutes of play. It was Dusko Erkalovic that got the ball rolling for the Cougars in the 12th minute, with a pin-point finish from the penalty spot, before Micha McGill double the visitors’ advantage in the 26th minute. Erkalovic then made it three-nil for the Cougars, just six minutes before the half. Lado Suliman, who was cautioned in the 21st minute, overcame that disappointment to give the Cougars a four-nil advantage just six minutes after the resumption. The Cougars have a really well balanced squad at the moment with Samuel Adeyinka, Zain Ahmad, Chris Beasley, Manny Christopher and keeper Josh Green all making solid contributions through their teams golden run. And the Cougars kept their cool with a frustrated Rosebud team accumulating five 18 STAR NEWS

The Strikers then fought back in injury time in the first half with Liam Lenders finding the back of the net in the 47th minute of play. Lenders, the powerful Mark Comini and Dean Schembri and skipper Ed Walker all rallied in the second half but White Star held on to secure a valuable three points. Bunyip is still in a strong position to have a major influence this year, sitting in sixth position with 11 points from the opening eight rounds of the season. The Strikers have a huge game this week with Rosebud paying a visit to Bunyip. Rosebud sit in seventh place, only behind the Strikers on goal difference.

Lions thrive on ferocity By Tyler Lewis The sight of the Pakenham Football Club inside the top four may be a surprise to some, but not to those who have watched them play this year in the AFL Outer East Premier Division. Pakenham, with a two-one record, could quite easily be 3-0 after its three outings. In one of the more difficult tasks in recent years, the Lions travelled to Wandin to take on a Bulldogs side that plays its home ground magnificently. In a seesawing affair, the Lions eventually got over the line by two goals, 13.18 (96) to 12.12 (84). The visiting side got out of the blocks swiftly, taking a two-goal buffer to the first interval, but it was shortly marginalised as the Dogs bit back, kicking five goals to three in the second and taking all the momentum into the main break. It was a simple scenario for Ash Green’s men who held a four-point lead at the final break, win the quarter…win the game. His chargers did exactly that, kicking an important three goals to two in the final period. The Lions look to be a ferocious outfit, a game style that suits Jeconiah Peni. Green believes it is in the Pakenham blood to play that way and Peni is no exception. “It is in the Pakenham DNA (to be fierce), that is the way we want to play our football,” he said. “JJ just typifies what we are trying to do, when the guys put the Paky jumper on they know what’s expected. “We know when our pressure is up, we are playing good football.” The Lions now sit inside the top four and hold a chance to get one back over fellow 2019 grand finalist Doveton in the first time the sides have met since that cloudy day in September two years ago. Officer came back from its bye extremely fresh, simply flattening Healesville.

With a 98-point margin at the main break, the Roos sunk their teeth in, completing a full four quarters of football with a mammoth 32.18 (210) to 4.0 (24) percentage booster. Jesse Longmuir slotted 10, while Matt Rogers kicked seven and Brent Maloney kicked five. The Roos seemed to love the end it was kicking from in the second and fourth, slotting 12.3 and 11.6 in each of the quarters. Mt Evelyn would appear to have the AFL Outer East Women’s Division One title at its mercy after another dominant display of football on the weekend. The classy Rovers had conceded just 14 points in four games heading into their clash against Pakenham - and it’s a figure that did not change after the home-side kept the visiting Lions scoreless in a 12.6 (78) to 0.0.(0) victory. The Rovers kicked 5.2 to no score in the first term, with four of those goals coming in the opening 10 minutes of play. Skipper Isobel Urquhart had the ball on a string for the entirety of the contest, booting five goals in a quality display of class and experience, while Kiara Simons and Jess Dalgleish booted two each. Pakenham should be proud of its efforts, particularly after the first 10 minutes of play, with Lucy Ventham playing a great game in defence, leading the back half with some strong communication and desperation. Vice-captain Melina Eppel also played well in defence, with Emily Devine, Bianca Moody, skipper Chloe Nagel and Amy Campbell also standing strong against a high-quality opponent. And the Officer women’s team is flying in second place on the division two ladder after a 37-point victory over Belgrave. The Kangaroos can thank two goals each from Tali Verhoeven and Allison Wartnaby, and a great game from Natalie Holmes for their 8.6 (54) to 2.5 (17) triumph.

Warriors streak thwarted By David Nagel The four-game winning streak of the Pakenham Big V Division One Women’s basketball team has come to a screeching halt with the Warriors going down 62-45 to Craigieburn on Saturday night. The Warriors started the game well, leading 14-13 at the first break, but were blown away in a powerful second-quarter display by the second-ranked team in the competition. Craigieburn was completely dominant in the second period – scoring 21-5 – to take a firm grip on the contest. Pakenham toiled long and hard for its points on the weekend, with no player scoring double figures. Sarah Slater hauled in 12 rebounds, including eight defensive boards, and also top scored with nine points for the evening. Taylor Jones, Keeley Patterson, Jacinta Maxwell and Steph Pal all played long minutes and did their best to restrict the damage in junk time. The Warriors, still impressive with a 6-3 record, host Camberwell at 8pm this Saturday at Cardinia Life. The Pakenham Division Two men’s team had a mixed weekend, going down to Craigieburn on Saturday night before rebounding strongly with an incredible come-from-behind win over Melton on Sunday afternoon. The loss to Craigieburn happened in an instant, with the Warriors trailing by just two points at half time before being blown away in the second half, 85-58. Jake Spruhan (12 rebounds) and Hayden Davey (10 rebounds) controlled the paint for the Warriors while the finishing work of Alistair Parker (16 points) and Josh Dow (11 points) kept the visitors in the hunt in the early stages. Sunday’s victory over Melton was an absolute beauty with the Warriors producing a stellar last period of play to turn a ninepoint deficit into a 93-88 triumph. Davey (20 points, 11 rebounds) and Parker (18 points, 12 rebounds) were both

Steph Pal and the Warriors put a 6-3 record on the line against Camberwell this Saturday night. 236624 terrific for the Warriors with double-doubles, while Dow (19 points) and Nathan Dodgson (14 points) made significant contributions to the last-quarter rampage. The Warriors, with their 4-7 record, have the bye this weekend before hosting Maccabi on Saturday, 29 May. And the Pakenham Youth League Two Men finished powerfully overhauling Sunbury, 72-70 at Sunbury. Lauchlan Mark (20 points) was once again superb for the Warriors while the sweet-shooting of Kobe Acker – who hit two of three from downtown – made a big difference to the final outcome. The Warriors trailed by five at the final break before producing a 27-20 final stanza to walk away with the full points. The Warriors travel to Coburg this Sunday for a high-noon showdown. Pakenham’s Youth League Women’s team – who had the bye on the weekend – host Mornington this Saturday at 6pm. Thursday, 20 May, 2021
