 Canvas the unwanted answer to homelessness

Swag solution

Dandenong Community Advisory Bureau’s Jinny McGrath will be handing Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS out swags for the homeless. 120425

SWAGS, rather than rooming houses and motels, could be the “new face of homelessness”, according to a housing support services manager in Dandenong.

Jen Kelly of WAYSS said her service was nearly out of funds until the end of June due to a “fast and furious demand” for crisis accommodation.

She said the service was facing the “distressing” reality of suggesting that homeless people sleep rough in swags.

“We had a look at swags and I told my staff this is the new face of homelessness.

“It’s not really part of my morality.

My staff aren’t really happy that we’ve

provided it as an option.

“We attempt to give people the respect they are due.”

The canvas swags are a “great product” from Australian company Swags for the Homeless, Ms Kelly said.

They are well-constructed, warm, proofed against the elements and mosquitoes - but no one’s idea of a home.

In the past six months, the service has placed two people in swags - at their own request. Swags were not an option for families and children, she said.

Ms Kelly said there were individuals who were prepared to sleep rough but the typical homeless person or family wasn’t a “bagman or trolleyperson”.

They include mental health patients released from hospital, men banned from home after a family violence incident, pensioners and “middle Australian” families.

“So many who present as homeless are people who would choose not to live like that.”

Ms Kelly, like many running charities and services in Dandenong, was acutely worried over how last week’s Federal Budget would hit one of Melbourne’s poorest communities.

Moving under twenty-fives onto Youth Allowance and under thirties onto six-month waits for Newstart could swell the ranks of the reluctantly homeless, she fears.

The government argues it needs to

rein in a $145 billion welfare budget to put it on a “sustainable” footing.

Budget measures include pegging back pension rises and introducing copayments for GP visits.

Dandenong Community Advisory Bureau and Cornerstone Contact Centre have swags on offer.

DCAB manager Jinny McGrath said she was likely to need more than her current cache of four swags, if the budget’s impending welfare cuts passed the Senate.

“We don’t want to say this is all we can give you for a home.

“I didn’t sleep well after the Budget. You can picture people who have come here and think what are they going to do?

Sharons

“They don’t have a lot of money to spend, now they’re going to have less.”

Cornerstone pastor Don Cameron said his church had given away 100 swags in recent years - sometimes after referrals from homelessness agencies Hanover and WAYSS. He estimates half of those people in swags slept outdoors.

“It’s not the best thing in the world but better than nothing.

“We’ve had people die from pneumonia (sleeping without swags).

“You don’t see them but there are hundreds sleeping rough.”

FEDERAL BUDGET 2014

Blaze was taxing move will save $142.8 million as part of the government’s quest to “repair the budget”.

Community and Public Sector Union deputy president Alistair Waters said it could mean the loss of about 100 jobs in the Dandenong office - which will “affect 100 families as well as shops in the area and the local community generally”.

Mr Waters said it was likely to include involuntary redundancies.

He said the cuts didn’t make sense, claiming every dollar of tax

office resources recouped $100 of collected taxes.

“It’s clearly a win for high-end tax dodgers.

“It’s going to impact on the amount of revenue that’s collected and the tax office’s capacity to ensure everyone is paying their share of tax.”

An ATO spokeswoman said the tax office was “working through” how to meet the “budget targets while positioning us for the future”.

Its planned move into a new

building, yet to be constructed, in central Dandenong in late 2015 remained on track, she said.

Its design won’t be amended to accommodate fewer staff.

“Funding for this has been allocated and is not affected by the budget announcements,” the spokeswoman said.

“The ATO is committed to the Dandenong region and has signed a 15-year lease.”

Budget repair and despair for pensioners

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS REPAIRING the Federal Budget may have broken Shaunagh Stevens’ family budget.

The secretary of the Dandenongbased Disability Resources Centre is married with two children and already finds it difficult to live week to week.

Now she faces a swarm of imposts if impending Federal Budget changes pass the Senate.

“I’ve just been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder - this budget isn’t helping me,” she said.

“Today I just said to my husband: ‘Please don’t tell me anything more about the budget’.”

For starters, she could be slugged $7 for her frequent doctor visits, at least for the first 10 each year, from 2015 - as well as an extra 80 cents for medications.

To Ms Stevens, these doctor visits aren’t about sacrificing - a very expensive - cup of coffee.

“The way (Treasurer Joe Hockey) says it is just a cup of coffee.

I’m sorry I can’t even afford a cup of coffee.

“It has far greater implications: I have to weigh up whether I pay my bills or go without medication.”

Other budget changes will hurt, such as raising the federal fuel levy and pegging back carers’ payments indexation - a benefit her husband claims to look after her full-time.

The couple don’t live the high life.

They spend a large amount of their time shackled at home, unable to afford so much as a cinema outing.

The family has never gone for a holiday, she says.

Their income is dedicated to a variety of medication, ranging from anti-anxiety medication as well as

She has had cerebral palsy since birth, enduring muscular spasms and much surgery - which didn’t always have the desired outcome.

With this cruel illness, Ms Stevens was never meant to walk.

Her mobility is now vanishing “at a great rate of knots”. It has claimed her bladder, and consigned her to regular injections to fight infection.

Under further financial strain,

she wonders if she will still be able to afford private insurance to cover the specialised treatment from the team of doctors who know her complex illness best.

She feels unfairly labelled as a burden as the Federal Government seeks to rein in an escalating welfare bill.

THE scrapping of Medicare Locals in last week’s Federal Budget has at least one positive, according to the Dandenong-based branch’s chairman.

Dr Nick Demediuk of South-Eastern Melbourne Medicare Local says the network - to be dumped from mid-2015 - had a “dumb name”.

“It’s not a Medicare office - it has nothing to do with it.”

The 61 branches - designed to co-ordinate primary health care services and programs will be replaced by a lesser number of Primary Health Networks Dr Demediuk said the new networks would be “aligned” to hospital areas.

He was confident Dandenong’s office would be retained, taking on Southern Health’s service area.

He said other budget measures - such as under-30s waiting six months for Newstart and co-payments for visiting a GP - could have a “higher impact here than wealthier suburbs”.

“For most of us, paying $7 to visit a GP to fund medical research is a good thing. But you’ve got to have a filter where the lowest socio-economic groups get protected.”

IT WAS perhaps a bad omen on the eve of a “heavy-lifting” Federal Budget.

About 700 staff were evacuated from the Australian Tax Office building in Dandenong due to a lift motor catching fire last Monday morning.

The following night, the Federal Government announced 2329 staff from the ATO were to be cut over three years from its 21,397-nationwide workforce.

They’re the Cornerstone of our community CORNERSTONE Contact Centre is one of those unsung organisations which quietly goes about helping those most in need in our community, all on the “smell of an oily rag”, as the chairman wrote in a recent report.

Cornerstone is a drop-in centre right in the heart of Dandenong. It opens its doors several times a week, welcoming the homeless and needy with a free meal and hot drink.

The patient, dedicated staff also provide counselling and a referral service for those needing food parcels, accommodation or drug and gambling help.

I am always interested when Cornerstone’s annual report lands in my letterbox. I visited Cornerstone, which operates out of the old Church of Christ building on the corner of Mason and Walker streets, many times during my years reporting for the Journal.

MY VOICE A MOMENT WITH

MARG STORK I was always made to feel welcome and understand why people find it a safe haven in times of need.

Chairman Grant Renkema wrote in Cornerstone’s 2014 annual report that the organisation offers “meals, support, services and friendship that organisations with budgets 10 times our size do not offer”.

“Cornerstone is a tapestry of people - it offers an amazing bang for buck.”

Last year the fantastic kitchen team served more than 9000 free meals, helped immeasurably by the purchase of a new stove.

However, some food sadly had

to be discarded when the freezers switched off. One of the main aims for the year ahead is raising money for a freezer room and a cool room, which will save money on electricity as well as time spent ferrying food from the back storeroom to the kitchen.

Cornerstone co-ordinator Don Cameron said there were some exciting developments in store over the next 12 months including a possible mental health GROW program, a mothers’ group, semi-regular programs run by “men from very friendly Christian biker groups” and a program for primary school students on Saturday mornings.

Anyone who wants to help can contact Pastor Don on 9794 5654.

CANCER CAUSE MY DAUGHTER Melvina passed away after a long battle with cancer, so I am always touched by

the stories of those who have overcome the odds and beaten this insidious disease. One such inspiration is Springvale South’s Chris Kendall.

Chris is holding a Biggest Morning Tea at Resurrection Primary School, Keysborough, on Sunday 25 May. She and her “chemo buddy” Sophie are keen to raise as much money as they can to continue the fight against cancer.

Chris, who was battling breast cancer, formed a firm friendship with Sophie, who had blood and stomach cancer, while they were both undergoing gruelling chemotherapy treatment.

“We met in chemo treatment four years ago, so we’re now giving back,” explained Chris.

Anyone wanting to attend the fund-raiser can contact Chris on 9547 7254. Guests are asked to pay $10 and bring a plate of food.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 21 May 1914 News and Notes On Friday morning last a bolting horse attached to a light cart caused a flutter of excitement and interest in Lonsdale Street, Dandenong. The peaceful calm was disturbed by the clatter of flying hoofs; wild yells of Whoa! Whoa! suddenly rent the air and the almost deserted street was quickly filled by interested spectators, business being temporally paralysed by master and man rushing out from their shops to locate the cause of the distur-

bance. Fortunately no person was injured; the animal and vehicle also escaped damage. However, the incident proved for that day a sweet tidbit: On all hands it was asked during the rest of the day, “Did you see the bolt this morning?”

50 years ago 20 May 1964 Two breakings in 10 days at H.G. Palmers Transistor radio sets, tape recorders and other goods, valued at £289, have been stolen by shop breakers who made two raids on the store

H.G. Palmer in Lonsdale Street. In the last 10 days Dandenong CIB was told that between Saturday, 9 May, and 11 May, thieves broke a front window of the store. From a display counter near the door they stole seven transistor and portable car radios, valued at £169. On Friday night breakers made their second raid on Palmer’s. They smashed a front window with a brick.

20 years ago 23 May 1994 Chamber Shouts The first drink will be on the Dande-

nong Chamber of Commerce when it holds a social evening tomorrow (Tuesday) at the new RSL clubrooms in Clow Street. The Minister for Small Business Mr Heffernan will be the guest speaker when the chamber holds its annual meeting on Thursday the 16th.

5 years ago 18 May 2009 Festival ends its long run a winner The curtain came down on the Dandenong Festival of Music and Art for Youth on Thursday night after 62 years. There were no tears, just a

few wry smiles, a little humour and some sense of regret that an institution of which Dandenong can be very proud is no more. But, to adapt a sporting analogy, it was the festival that was the real winner. The Drum Theatre was full for the final night and there was real atmosphere, far removed from the cold halls and empty seats that have greeted organisers for many years.

Ironically, at a time when it is finishing, enthusiasm for the festival seemed to be on a rise.

By CASEY NEILL SAFETY, peer pressure and unemployment are the biggest issues facing young people in Greater Dandenong.

One Year 10 student told the SpeakOUT Youth Summit at Springvale Town Hall last Tuesday about a friend who feared leaving her house because of bullying.

She said the harassment was taking place online and at school and was targeting her friend for her blonde hair and singing talent.

“They make fun of her to such an extent she wanted to take her own life,” she said.

The student was among 200 from 10 schools across the municipality who took part, and said her friend had sought help.

City of Greater Dandenong youth and family services co-ordinator Katharina Verscharen said the event was held biannually and fed into the council’s youth strategy.

“Today’s very much about young people having a voice,” she said.

“If they’re investing in decisions, they’re more likely to participate.”

Ms Verscharen said their views could help to effectively direct limited resources.

Sal Frances from Westside Circus teaches juggling.

119935 Picture: ROB CAREW The day-long event start- ability access, drugs and aled with presentations from cohol, healthy relationships experts about issues like dis- and cyber bullying.

Students then used butchers paper and textas to highlight their favourite things about Greater Dandenong, and the issues they’re facing.

The Drum Theatre, libraries, multiculturalism, accessibility and parks were among students’ favourite things about their city.

Peer pressure was a common problem, the teens said, including friends egging them on to take risks and pressure to drink alcohol.

“I went to a party and the first rule was you had to have a shot,” one girl said.

Students said they were worried about gang violence and encountering “druggies” in the streets, and several spoke about unemployment holding them back.

“If kids had something to do there wouldn’t be this much trouble,” one said.

“There are just no jobs.”

One girl said she wanted to join local sporting teams but financial stress meant she was “always stuck at home”.

Students also discussed where they turned to for help and support, and were informed about services like Kids Help Line.

The afternoon was about team building and confidence and featured circus arts, hip-hop, African drumming and more.

Drugs and stationery seized A DRUG bust in Keysborough uncovered ice, a $2500 stationery stash, swords and machetes.

Police executed a search warrant at a Corrigan Road home about 1.20pm on 12 May. They found about 1.5 grams of ice, two swords and two machetes, $500 cash and a large amount of stationery that is believed to be stolen.

There were Parker pens, Derwent pencil sets, USB cards, a Dymo labeller, Canon printer ink refills and a laptop among the haul.

Police arrested a 31-year-old man and charged him with possessing drugs, weapons and proceeds of crime.

He was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 24 September.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Proscribed organisation I WISH to refer Aran M’s comment piece (Dandenong Journal, 5 May) on the subject of “we are not terrorists” and would hasten to mention that 16 organisations and a number of Sri Lankan individuals living abroad were proscribed by the government of Sri Lanka under UN Security Council Resolution 1373 on prevention of terrorism.

Sri Lanka and the Sri Lankan people were at the receiving end of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorists who refused to adhere to the peace proposals put forward by India, Norway and other international partners and were finally defeated in May

2009. Since then, Sri Lanka has been able to share the peace dividend with her sons and daughters after being reduced to a near-failed state on account of the instability created by the LTTE’s suicide bombers and the cyanide capsule-wearing maniacal killers.

The Sri Lankan government, if one can recollect, saved more than 300,000 Tamils from the yoke of the LTTE when these innocents ran and embraced members of the defence forces personnel, leaving the LTTE leadership who held them as cannon fodder.

Aran should remember the plight of the Tamils and the tragic stories of the Tamil mothers whose children were

mobilised by force as child soldiers of the LTTE brigades.

Today, contrary to the “genocide” story planted by Aran in his article, Sri Lankan Tamils (12 per cent of the Sri Lankan population) along with the other ethnic groups lead a comparatively peaceful life, enjoying the highest standard of living in South Asia. (The socio-economic standards of Sri Lankan Tamils are much superior to that of the Tamils in Tamil Nadu, India).

The word “genocide” is being used as a propaganda ploy by the separatist terrorists and their followers while one can see and meet tens of thousands of thriving Tamils, the majority living in

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… A MAGISTRATE had some sympathy for a 32-year-old man who bashed another during a parking dispute at Chadstone Shopping Centre.

The accused’s girlfriend was arguing with the victim over rights to a parking spot when the accused intervened, punched the victim to the head and ripped his T-shirt.

In Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last week, the magistrate said the car park could be a “stressful place” but the accused had over-reacted “over something as stupid as a parking place”.

He ordered the accused to attend a men’s behavioural change course as part of a 12-month good-behaviour bond.

SHOUTING ‘stop the presses’ might work in the movies, but things aren’t so simple here at the Journal.

The Noble Park Ukrainian Community School announced it was postponing its 60th anniversary celebrations just as our 12 May edition went to print with a story about the event.

It will now take place in September, rather than on 17 May. We’ll let you know

Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka.

While it is obvious that the steps taken by Sri Lanka are NOT aimed to harass ordinary peace-loving Tamils, it has to be stated that Sri Lanka has the right to protect the nation and the people from subversive acts culminating in terrorism by the racist terrorists by collecting funds and propagating hate politics etcetera. In fact, the US in its Country Report on Terrorism in April 2014 claimed “the LTTE’s financial network support continued to operate throughout 2013 ... the LTTE uses its international contacts and the large Tamil diaspora in North America, Europe and Asia to procure weap-

ons, communications, funding and other needed supplies”. The LTTE is a banned organisation under the UN and in many other counties, while it is a listed terrorist organisation in Australia.

In the circumstances, Sri Lanka as a sovereign nation battered by the LTTE’s insatiable war-mongering has promulgated logical regulations to the existing UN resolution, and banned associates of the LTTE to protect the hard-won victory over the LTTE - the world’s most brutal terrorist organisation according to the New York Times.

A MAN has been forced to forfeit an illegal firearm given to him by his “local pastor”.

The man told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court he didn’t realise he needed a licence to own the unloaded air rifle that had been stored on top of a cupboard.

He said the pastor had given him the weapon, which had been owned by a late parishioner.

“It’s an unusual source to get your firearms - to say the least,” mused the magistrate.

A MAGISTRATE’S technical challenges came to a comical crescendo at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday.

He battled for some time “finding pathways I didn’t know existed” while sorting out a bail application on the Courtlink computer system before leaving the bench to retreat to his quarters.

Unfortunately a keypad-operated door had other ideas, shrieking a series of beeps and refusing to open for him. A helpful court clerk came to his aid.

TESTIMONIALS I ve been using Body Be Best for weight loss and body sculpting. I am thrilled with the results. I have lost 5 kilos and 24cm from my torso, which equates to 2 dress sizes for me, since I started. When talking to the consultants about my severe Carpal Tunnel problems, I also discovered the beneits of the micro current machine as a symptom relief for the pins and needles, and the numbness I was experiencing in my hands and I was delighted with the unexpected results. I found after only a few treatments I was waking up with no pins and needles or numbness! I found driving easier and using my hands for tasks that usually I gave up on had greater improvement. I would like to thank very much the staff and management of Body Be Best as I have found them to be of the highest professional and personal standards and I highly recommend this experience. Julie, 45, Wantirna I was having so much pain my itness was disappearing at a great rate. Low and behold after two treatments the pain started to subside which enabled me to resume training, and after one month I was back on track to compete at the World Masters Games.

Fighting grief CHILDREN who’ve lost someone close to them often need special help.

Rainbows for the Children of Australia is offering a program in Keysborough to provide it.

It started a 13-week afterschool program at Keysborough Learning Centre last Thursday, 15 May, but Rainbows’ Victorian development officer Nathan Jones said children could join at any stage.

Trained facilitators work with small groups of similarly aged children, from four to 15 years, with a focus on harm prevention.

“Self-harm is actually quite

rife in teenage children at the moment,” Mr Jones said.

The aim is to give participants an understanding of their new family unit, build their selfesteem and direct them toward a healthy resolution of the changes in their lives.

“Every week they’ll deal with another factor of grief or loss and they speak to the facilitators and try to get over it using books and activities,” Mr Jones said.

“It helps the children move on from what they’ve lost.

“The parents have to consent for the children to come but it’s on a personal basis.”

The cost for each 40-minute plus session is a gold coin donation.

“We’re a not for profit charity for children,” Mr Jones said.

“What we do is we support children who have lost friends or family.”

Rainbows originated in Chicago,, 30 years ago.

“In Victoria we’ve got about 15 sites at different schools that do it via their welfare officers at school,” he said.

“We’re trying to spread it along, into new sites.”

Enrolment forms and more information are available from Gemma or Nathan on 9587 4535, Keysborough Learning Centre at 402 Corrigan Road, Keysborough, or from rainbowsvic@iprimus.com.au

A KEYSBOROUGH hairdresser is giving a new lease on life to some of Thailand’s most vulnerable people.

Carmela Ercolano and her partner John Brown bought a hammock from a man named Mohammed three years ago.

“The following year he remembered us. We sat down and had a chat with him,” she said.

“I didn’t realise he couldn’t walk.”

Then Ms Ercolano saw him struggling across the street and launched an unsuccessful search for a wheelchair.

“His legs turn inwards and he can barely walk,” she said.

“I told him ‘when I come back next year I’ll bring you a wheelchair’.

“It might be only a chair, but it changes a life for them.”

She told one of her clients of the plan, and they donated a spare chair.

Ms Ercolano returned to Thailand and handed the chair to Mohammed a few weeks ago.

“He was like a celebrity when we bought it to him,” she said.

“The looks on their faces are just priceless.

“They don’t ask for much and they’re just so grateful.”

Other people with disabilities started asking her for help when they saw the change in Mohammed, and Ms Ercolano embraced the challenge.

“Four or five chairs will just change their lives. It’s unbelievable,” she said.

Jobs wasteland

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG High students are missing out on support to find employment because work to complete its transformation from three schools to one remains unfunded.

Principal Susan Ogden said the school didn’t receive the $15 million needed to complete its vision in the State Budget.

“I am disappointed, the school community is disappointed,” she said.

“The stage three build will be finished in about eight weeks, but we’re still waiting for stage four funding.”

Dandenong High School, Cleeland Secondary College and Doveton Secondary College officially merged in 2007 to become the new Dandenong High.

But the school is still waiting on an arts, design and technology wing, senior specialist spaces, a future pathways centre and a canteen.

“For us it’s a critical issue because it will mean that innovative learning model will be complete,” Ms Ogden said.

“It will be able to run and function as it was designed to in our school vision.

“The specialist facilities will support our senior students in their pathways learning.

“Some of our core work at the moment too is about building partnerships and relationships with industry.

“Some of the stage four spaces are designed particularly to support this work.”

The project would include demolition of the disused Cleeland

Secondary College site.

“It’s also important for the community because our ovals can be shared by Dandenong North Primary School, which has limited space,” Ms Ogden said.

Chandler Park Primary principal Peter Paul is still reeling after his school missed out on $5.7 million to complete a merger with Maralinga Primary that started five years ago.

“That means we would bring every child onto the Chandler campus,” he said.

“They would relinquish the Maralinga site so the government gets the site back.”

The school board met last Tuesday to discuss a course of action.

“There was shared disappointment with parents,” Mr Paul said.

“We will have further discussions about the appropriate actions

that need to be taken.

“We would hope that there’s some light at the end of the tunnel.”

He said discussions with the Education Department “need to be had”.

“We do like to think that we could get a reasoned outcome,” he said.

“I think that would be in the interests of the children, the community, staff and parents.”

The Journal last week reported that Keysborough College was waiting on about $30 million to complete a redevelopment that also started five years ago.

A spokeswoman for Education Minister Martin Dixon said the budget delivered $1.6 billion for education as well as $500 million to build 12 new schools and upgrade more than 70 existing schools.

When Cat meets Cat KEYSBOROUGH Cats fan Lachlan, 11 months, looked a little apprehensive about meeting premiership player Tom Hawkins last Wednesday. The Geelong Football Club forward posed for photos, signed autographs and handed out footy tips to fans and Parkmore Junior Football Club players at Keysborough McDonald’s.

McDonald Real Estate also supported the event as part of its fundraising drive for Ronald McDonald House. 119692 Picture: ROB CAREW

Car set alight

By CASEY NEILL

VANDALS have set a car alight in Simpson Street, Noble Park.

Police said the Holden Commodore sedan, which was being dismantled for parts, was parked in a carport when it was torched about 1am on 8 May. Another resident from the unit complex extinguished the blaze, which caused extensive damage to the vehicle and minor smoke damage to the carport.

The owner was not home at the time of the fire and notified police of the incident the next day.

Detectives attended, processed scene and deemed the fire’s cause suspicious.

Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.

DANDENONG’S African community took its talent to the stage last week.

Singers, dancers and rappers auditioned for Africa’s Got Talent at The Castle on 13 May. Africa’s Got Talent organiser Tariro Mavondo said performances ranged from hip-hop to reggae and featured artists from Tanzania, South Sudan, Burundi, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

“The talent was really solid,” she said.

“It was very hard to pick who to choose from the people who auditioned.”

The Dandenong audition was the final for this year’s contest, which had already visited about seven other municipalities.

Last year was the competition’s first and hopefuls could only apply online.

“We had more people this year, heading out into the communities,” Ms Mavondo said.

Africa’s Got Talent is open to performing artists of African descent aged between 16 and 30 years.

Ms Mavondo started it to celebrate Africa Day and to unite African artists.

“As an artist myself I felt quite isolated,” she said.

“I grew up in Frankston and moved to Cranbourne when I was 12.

“There wasn’t that many opportunities for young African artists to

Mustang home Judge and performer Tariro Movondo, centre, with Dandenong auditioners Nyatap Muon and Nyabuay Bol. Picture: ROB CAREW. 120031 meet other African artists.

This is good for the morale of young artists who are giving it a go.”

She said the open audition process was “like a brilliant workshop as well”.

“The artists watch other artists and give them feedback,” she said.

“We give them really

constructive criticism.” Ms Mavondo hopes to bring the event back with more resources next year.

“There’s a need and a hunger out there,” she said.

The Africa’s Got Talent final will be held at Fitzroy Town Hall on Saturday (24 May). Entry is by gold coin.

“It’s for the wider public

to celebrate and share the talent of the African community,” she said.

Judges will include Deni Hines, Lamine Sonko, Stephanie Kabanyana and Chris Gill.

There’ll be prizes for first, second and third, plus all finalists will be part of an artistic mentorship program.

A STOLEN $70,000 Ford Mustang recovered from a Dangenong back yard on Friday 8 May has been returned to its Narre Warren North owner.

Ute locked up

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DRIVER caught fishtailing in front of a marked police car on Frankston-Dandenong Road, Dandenong South, will have his ute locked up for four months.

Aaron Fenner, 21, pleaded guilty to driving in a dangerous manner in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday for his antics - described by judge Barry Schultz as “horrendous driving”.

Fenner’s black Holden had left 130 metres of tyre marks during a screeching, smoky burnout that twice weaved across all three southbound lanes about 8.10pm on 25 January.

Police alleged Fenner, travelling with a 20-year-old female passenger, did not appear to see the police car parked at the Dandenong Bypass intersection.

Fenner’s car was immediately impounded for 30 days, costing him $843 for storage and towing.

Defence lawyer Adrian Dessi conceded Fenner’s 2009 conviction for improper use of a motor vehicle automatically triggered a possible further three-month impoundment and minimum six-month licence suspension.

Mr Schultz suggested Fenner should go to an auto

club race meet and see the “real skill” of drivers if he was “keen for the thrills and adrenaline”.

“You’ll see how clever you are on the public roads.

“Driving of this kind is dangerous in the extreme - more dangerous than you could ever imagine.”

He said he was “sorely tempted” to extend Fenner’s licence loss beyond six months - but for Fenner being reliant on his car for work.

Mr Schultz settled for an “excessive” fine of $2000 as well as a conviction, threemonth vehicle impoundment and attendance at a road trauma awareness course.

Doveton Community Support Centre manager Jason Carter and Captain Stuart McGifford Picture: DONNA OATES prepare for the Red Shield Appeal. 120368

By CASEY NEILL THE Salvos need more help than ever to support Greater Dandenong’s most needy.

The Salvation Army’s annual Red Shield Appeal is this weekend and Dandenong corps officer Captain Stuart McGifford is urging people to dig deep during the doorknock.

Doveton Community Support Centre provides services to about 400 people each month from the Doveton, Dandenong, Eumemmerring and Dandenong North areas.

Foster Street, Dandenong, is home to a Salvation Army positive lifestyle and counselling service, and a chaplaincy team visits Dandenong Magistrates’ Court to provide practical support such as a suit or transport.

“Some need emotional support,” Captain McGifford said.

“Some people can walk in with a family member and walk out without them because they’ve been incarcerated.”

He said demand was “steady and rising” at the Foster Street centre, which focuses on drug, alcohol and anger issues.

“Without a good showing at the Red Shield Appeal we really struggle to provide anywhere near the level of service that we do in Dandenong,” he said.

“We spend far more in Dandenong than we raise from this area through the Red Shield Appeal.”

Captain McGifford said demand at Doveton Community Support Centre had risen steadily over the past six to nine months.

“A lot from asylum seekers and refugees desperately seeking assistance,” he said.

“I have never been in an area where there’s such a demand for food just to get through the week.

“The hard thing is they’re just so grateful to be here.

“I think people value their freedom and the Australian way of life more than we realise.”

The Red Shield Appeal doorknock weekend will be held on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 May. To donate to the Red Shield Appeal, look out for volunteers door-knocking throughout the local area, call 13 SALVOS (13 72 58) or visit salvationarmy. org.au

Unlocked car blitz

By CASEY NEILL POLICE will send letters to motorists caught leaving their vehicles unlocked, to tackle a spike in thefts.

They launched Operation Secure All Valuables and Equipment (SAVE) at Dandenong Railway Station last week - at the same time as thefts from cars skyrocketed in Noble Park and Dandenong, particularly in Jessen Crescent.

Greater Dandenong CIU

Acting Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton urged people to report suspicious activity to Crime Stoppers, remove valuable items from their vehicles - including loose change - and ensure their doors were locked.

“We’ve had a higher number than normal in a fairly concentrated area,” he said.

“Keep your car off the road to reduce the risk as well.”

Under Operation SAVE,

PSOs and transit officers across Casey, Greater Dandenong and Cardinia will forward unsecured vehicles’ registration details to Leading Senior Constable Annemarie Logan, who’ll send a letter to the registered owner.

It will warn them that it’s an offence to leave a car unlocked or the keys in the ignition, and it attracts a $144 fine.

“We’re negotiating with council by-laws officers,”

Ldg Sen Const Logan said.

“They’re wandering around looking at cars all day. They’re an extra set of eyes.”

She distributed almost 2800 pamphlets at SAVE’s 8 May launch with help from Neighbourhood Watch and other community members.

They also discovered 34 vehicles unsecured or with valuables left in plain sight.

Ldg Sen Const Logan said the vehicles involved

were unlocked in 25 per cent of reported thefts from cars.

“We get calls about guys walking through car parks checking door handles,” she said. “One theft from a motor vehicle can lead to dozens of other offences.

“It’s a ripple effect.”

She said stolen credit cards and number plates could be used in petrol drive-offs, burglaries and fraud.

Don’t mess with the Muminators

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS WITH hot-pink locks and leggings, the self-styled Team Muminator make a loud statement.

The team of five brought their verve to the Mother’s Day Classic fun-run in Melbourne this month, with a picture of their late mum and grandma Ann Webber on their backs.

Daughter Julie De Luca, who captained the team, said she was nearly at the stage of not celebrating Mother’s Day this year the first since Ann died of breast cancer in February.

“I don’t have a mum,” she told her daughters.

They replied: “But we

do.” During the first two months after losing her mum, Ms De Luca barely had a dry-eyed day.

It helped her, her daughters Kristyn and Taryn, niece Shaye Webber and daughter-in-law Nikita Smith to take part in the eight-kilometre walk leg of the fun-run.

Through their own efforts, they raised $3500 towards research for a cure.

Ms Webber and husband Harry have four children - three sons and Julie “She knew lots of people,” Ms De Luca said.

“She was just a loving person. She never complained about her illness.”

Ms Webber was first diagnosed 17 years ago and spent 15 years in remission before the disease recently

She knew in her heart that something was wrong but didn’t want bad news to spoil that family Christ-

FEDERAL BUDGET 2014

Tradie debt fears

By CASEY NEILL

NEW $20,000 Trade Support Loans could land young jobseekers in significant debt unless they receive more career path guidance.

This was the warning from Beacon Foundation’s Duncan McKimm in the wake of the 2014-’15 Federal Budget announcement that the program would be introduced from 1 July.

The not-for-profit organisation provides pathways and opportunities for students from schools in disadvantaged communities.

“This proposed change is perfectly reasonable,” Mr McKimm said.

“As long as it is coupled with strengthened efforts to educate young people about their pathways and provide them with opportunities to expe-

rience the workplace before they start generating debts for training.”

The loans will replace the Tools For Your Trade Payment initiative.

“It goes from getting tax-free money to spend on tools, to being a loan they have to pay back, so obviously apprentices aren’t going to be over the moon about it,” Mr McKimm said.

“The government’s argument is it’s better to have apprentices afforded a cheap line of credit to assist them with whatever expenses - not just tools - they face, as their wages can be very hard to live on in a lot of circumstances.”

Mr McKimm said his concern was for young people who generated debt through the scheme but failed to complete the apprenticeship.

The loan amount to be repaid will

drop 20 per cent for apprentices who complete their studies, and repayments are to start once they’re earning a sustainable income.

“They’ll be carrying the debt they incurred while training if they don’t finish, and potentially generating significant amounts of debt before they find the right qualification,” he said.

“Changing pathways will become an increasingly expensive exercise.”

He said about one third of people who started an apprenticeship didn’t complete it, and this figure had been steady for the past 10 years.

“Experience in the workplace, or lack thereof, is a key factor in this low completion rate,” he said.

“If this is the system we’re going to be working under, we need to be absolutely sure we’re educating young people about the pathway

they’re undertaking before they start.”

South East Melbourne Manufacturers’ Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden said the move, which is similar to the loan system for university students, was “a good sign of everybody being equal”.

“If someone’s learning a trade they’re as valuable as someone getting a degree - in some cases more valuable,” he said.

“We need the people with the hands-on skills.

“The negative is the changes to the repayments of those loans and the costs of those loans.

“There’s a lower threshold so they have to repay earlier. That doesn’t help people save money.

“I’m just worried that they’ll end up with another huge debt.”

Education cuts to make life harder for students

By CASEY NEILL CUTS to Gonski school funding will make life harder for struggling students, Dandenong North Primary School principal Kevin Mackay says.

The Federal Government last week announced it would only fund four years of the six-year Gonski school funding plan, saving about $30 billion.

“The funding for only the first four years is akin to putting a band-aid on an arterial tear,” Mr Mackay said.

His school has 660 students from 51 different nationalities and cultural groups, and 70 per cent don’t speak

English as their first language at home.

Up to 50 new arrivals to Australia start at the school each year, many traumatised and without prior school experience.

“It is a challenge to catch those children up,” Mr Mackay said.

“It takes us three years to get them fluent in English - in writing and reading and listening and speaking.

“Then the challenge is still there, to catch up for lost time for the time they couldn’t speak English.

“Gonski actually recognised that.”

He said his classrooms needed

“manageable groups” so teachers could provide intensive intervention.

“To do that you need money to pay for extra teachers,” he said.

In a submission to the Senate Select Committee on School Funding, Wooranna Park Primary principal Ray Trotter said the Dandenong North school had 361 students from 45 ethnic backgrounds.

He said the Gonski funding would help to support students from nonEnglish speaking backgrounds, address social and welfare issues like students coming to school without breakfast and lunch, and support staff development programs.

Principal Kevin Mackay.

“Disadvantaged schools need this funding if we are going to come anywhere near creating a level playing field for our students,” he said.

Seniors offer mixed views

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS PENSIONERS are a mix of distraught and stoic in response to welfare cuts in last week’s Federal Budget.

In response to an ageing population, the government plans to peg the indexing of the pension from 2017, increase the pension age to 70 in 20 years and introduce $10,000 incentives for businesses to employ older workers.

As part of its plan to make the welfare budget “sustainable” it will spend $146 billion on unemployment benefits, pensions, childcare support and family payments in 2014-’15.

Joan, a pensioner and committee member of Keysborough and District Multicultural Senior Citizens Club, said “you won’t get any complaints from me”.

“It’ll affect me a little bit. Petrol and a few little things will cost more.

“But if we don’t do this, we’ll be like Greece.”

Josie Luppino, president of Noble Park Italian Seniors Citizens Club, said most members were worried about the changes to the pension age.

“Most of us are already 70 but for our children and grandchildren, it’s not really fair to work extra years to get a pension.”

Extra cost burdens, such as rising fuel and electricity prices and GP co-payments, were “stretching us too much”, she said.

NEW HOMES & LAND

DISCOVER THE LATEST IN MODERN HOME DESIGN Three new display homes have opened in Selandra Rise Estate, Clyde North.

On show is the spectacular Granada 41, the impressive single storey Matisse 33, and the grand Montpellier 51 which offer ample private space for the whole family.

This new design of the Granada 41 adds to the very popular T-Range - offering a practical, efficient and affordable floor plan for busy, growing families.

As always the focus has been on innovative design and ensuring extensive list of inclusions delivers exceptional value.

The Granada 41 includes a large entry foyer with double entry doors and feature hob detailing, a large formal lounge and study located away from the casual living zones and a staircase located in the heart

of the home with ample natural lighting.

Other features include a large rumpus room located centrally located, which is great for watching blockbuster movies, a full master suite including walk-in wardrobe, dressing area and ensuite, complete with a separate WC, large shower and his and hers vanity located at the front of the home.

The single storey Matisse 33 from the Affinity Collection is a family home that can be summed up in one word - ‘impressive.’

The Matisse boasts four living areas and four bedrooms that fit into 33 squares.

A clever separation of the zones maintains open-plan living, particularly with the integrated alfresco with direct access to the kitchen.

Other features include a formal lounge featuring hob detailing and a study located away from the casual living area, a generous meals and living room flowing out through the covered alfresco to a private outdoor living area at the rear of the home, all perfectly located for entertaining, and three large secondary bedrooms, all with walk-in wardrobes and their own private bathroom.

The Montpellier 51 from the Affinity Collection is the epitome of grand living with a focus on providing ample room for entertaining and plenty of privacy for all the family.

Featuring multiple livings zones, and a kids’ “wing” with good-sized bedrooms, the Montpellier 51 is designed to provide the best of luxury living.

Other features include a grand entrance with large open void, double entry doors with sidelights and a raised ceiling detail - setting the scene for what is a most luxurious home.

There is a timber staircase located in the heart of the home that leads to the private quarters upstairs, generous living and meals area flowing out through the covered alfresco to a private outdoor living, perfectly designed for entertaining, and an opulent master suite located away from the children’s bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and ensuite.

Selandra Rise Display Centre is at 22-26 Waler Circuit, Clyde North.

We don’t mind if you change our plans.

It’s called layout flexibility.

Arden Homes is a different sort of company creating very different homes.

Firstly, our homes are architect designed and inspired to bring a new sense of space, light and sweeping architectural proportions. You sense the difference immediately. Innovative sun courts, picture windows and full length windows and views that connect inside and out are hallmarks of our design. We insist on luxury standard inclusions such as porcelain tiles, Smeg appliances, Franke sinks, quality carpet, and stone benchtops throughout.

Secondly, we limit the number of houses we build, and are up-front about the pricing of display home extras.

“Arden let us swap rooms around so our new home is exactly as we want it.”

– Sharon and Michael, Croydon And best of all, we encourage layout flexibility. It means you can work with us to switch and swap rooms and features to suit your lot size, orientation and family needs.

Visit an Arden display to see and feel the difference. And ask us how we can tailor the design to make one of our stunning homes your unique dream home.

College’s world stage

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE global stage was on show at Keysborough College’s Banksia Campus in Springvale.

Year 10 and 11 students were turned into delegates, and their school into the United Nations General Assembly during a simulation last Wednesday.

The college’s humanities manager Stephen Megroz said each delegate had to swot up on the views of their assigned country for a resolution on indigenous peoples’ rights.

“They were told you can’t just speak your own opinion but as a delegate, you speak your country’s opinion.”

There was much to discover during the process, Mr Megroz said.

In some cases, an educated

guess was required to ascertain a country’s “position statement”.

Students hadn’t heard of some of the smaller nations.

Adjunct Professor Ian Howie, who has worked with the UN on international development, ghosted as the UN Secretary-General for the day.

In 2007 the UN General Assembly after 25 years of negotiations passed a resolution on indigenous peoples’ rights to protect their lands and maintain their cultures.

Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US voted against the resolution; 145 nations voted in favour of it.

The Model United Nations was staged with the help of state funding and United Nations Association of Australia (Victorian Division).

Schools become new hubs

Springvale Rise school council president Councillor Sean O’Reilly, Cr Roz Blades, Springvale Rise principal Annette Hilton, City of Greater Dandenong Community Hubs co-ordinator Marta Kreiser and Scanlon Foundation CEO Tony Fry.

SPRINGVALE Rise Primary School opened a Community Hub on 8 May. There are now five in Greater Dandenong, and three more planned for other schools.

Councillor and school council president Sean O’Reilly said the hub was a place where the community could come together for activities and feel welcome.

“One of the first insti-

tutions that many new migrants have contact with is their local school,” he said.

“To assist integration, the Community Hub will offer community-based programs for parents of students, and also the broader community.

“Language and women’s leadership courses have already started, and the hub will seek ideas from the community for programs to run in future.”

The hubs are in areas

with many families from low socio-economic, refugee or migrant backgrounds and are often in primary schools - generally a familiar and friendly place.

They link families with education, health, community and settlement services.

The Scanlon Foundation, City of Greater Dandenong and the Federal Government funded the Springvale Rise hub.

Boarding house attack TWO men have attacked residents at a Dandenong boarding house, in their bedrooms.

Police said they entered the Hemmings Street house about 9.45pm on 9 May and assaulted a 36-year-old man in the hallway and then his bedroom, and threatened him with a knife.

They then kicked in the door to a 31-year-old man’s room and assaulted him. The victims suffered lacerations, cuts and bruises and attended Dandenong Hospital for treatment. Nothing was stolen during the attack.

Police arrested a 37-year-old Hampton Park man over the incident on 12 May and charged him with aggravated burglary and assault.

He was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 8 July.

The investigation continues.

Traffic tizz MORE than 120 people have signed a petition asking for “traffic calming measures” in Sylvia Street, Dandenong North.

The document, tabled at the 14 April City of Greater Dandenong council meeting, urged action to stop speeding cars and trucks in the street.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Rhonda turns it around

By CASEY NEILL SHARING the Victorian Apprentice of the Year title last week marked a turnaround in Rhonda Neil’s fortunes.

In February, thieves stole a trailer with $20,000 in tools from the 24-year-old carpenter’s Dandenong North home.

“I’d spent all my money buying tools over the past four years, and it all got stolen on Valentine’s Day,” she said.

Ms Neil and Brandon Betts were jointly presented with the Master Builders Association of Victoria Apprentice of the Year Award on 9 May. The title included $4000 worth of tools, workwear and vouchers.

Master Builders CEO Radley de Silva said the pair exemplified the skills, work ethic and positive attitude required to be a successful tradesperson in the building and construction industry.

“This year was too close to call, causing our judges to award the firstever joint State Apprentice of the Year Award,” he said.

Rhys Linnett from Springvale South won the Apprentice Bricklayer of the Year award, and Ms Neil also won the Female Apprentice of the Year honour.

“I kind of knew about the female one a little bit, but the other one I had no idea and that was a massive shock,” Ms Neil said.

She completed her four-year carpentry apprenticeship with Apprentices Group Australia three months ago, and works for Willright Nominees.

Boss Barney Patterson was “like a proud dad” after her win.

“I think he’s told every single person he knows,” she said.

“We do a lot of work at Wesley College. He put up a sign at Wesley on Monday. It was so embarrassing.”

Ms Neil’s father, Ryan, cried when her name was called out for the top prize.

Apprentice of the Year Rhonda Neil. 120377 “We’ve been going through a lot of crap,” she said.

And it was her dad that set her on a path to carpentry.

“We used to build stuff in the shed when I was little,” she said.

She excelled at woodwork at high school and taught the craft at a school camp in America during a gap year in 2009.

“When I was travelling I still didn’t know what I wanted to do,” she said.

“I never really wanted to go to uni

Rail offices defended THE State Government has defended stationing offices for the Cranbourne-Pakenham rail lines upgrade in Melbourne, rather than Dandenong.

A spokeswoman for Premier Denis Napthine said corporate offices were typically located in the CBD during the development phase of construction projects.

She said the location of site offices would be later determined by the private consortium, which is partnering the State Government on the project.

“The project will have significant benefits for south-east businesses and manufacturers - it will create more than 3000 jobs during construction, as well as 100 ongoing jobs in the new Pakenham East maintenance depot,” she said.

This month, Dandenong MP John Pandazopoulos told State Parliament that the government had missed the chance to maximise local jobs and content on the Cranbourne-Pakenham rail upgrade project by not having offices in Dandenong.

- I wasn’t too good at studying, but I was always handy.”

Ms Neil started her apprenticeship soon after returning to Australia. She said it wasn’t hard to fit in on work sites.

“I’ve always kind of been one of the boys,” she said.

“I played field hockey when I was younger and I played on the boys’ team instead of the girls’ team.

“If you can take it and give it back then you’ll be all right. If you’re going to get emotional then it’s never going to work.”

Her favourite part of the job is seeing clients’ reactions.

“Watching their faces light up truly makes me feel like I have achieved something great,” she said.

“To be able to create someone’s dream home or a place for them to make memories is very fulfilling.”

Ms Neil is in the running for the National Apprentice of the Year title, to be presented at the Annual Excellence in Building and Construction Awards at Parliament House, Canberra, on 21 November.

Cranes can roll on street CRANE operators will no longer need permits to travel on some Greater Dandenong Roads.

Roads Minister Terry Mulder last week announced easier access to 240 local roads in Greater Dandenong, Cardinia, Hume and Hobsons Bay. “This figure is expected to grow rapidly in coming weeks as more councils come on board,” he said.

“The new network will reduce the regulatory burden for the industry, with crane operators able to get out on the road when needed, without waiting for a permit to be issued.

“However, permits will still be required for travel on other parts of the road network and compliance monitoring will continue.”

VicRoads each month issues about 600

crane permits on behalf of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator.

The Victorian Crane Association’s Brent Stacey said this move would “make the dayto-day job so much easier for many of our operators to get to and from work sites”.

VicRoads has developed an online map that can be quickly updated as additional roads are approved for inclusion in the gazetted network.

This new network adds to the existing number of approved routes that B-doubles, higher mass limit vehicles, road train vehicles, controlled access buses and semi-trailers (transporting containers up to 48 tonnes) can use.

Visit www.vicroads.vic.gov.au to view the maps.

Business tick for tax cut GREATER Dandenong’s business community has welcomed the company tax cut in last week’s Federal Budget.

But there are concerns the 2014-’15 plan won’t boost jobs and will put undue stress on jobseekers.

Adrian Boden from the South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) said there was “a lot of detail we still need to go through” but the 1.5 per cent reduction in company tax was “very welcome”.

“The bad news is a decrease in research and development (RND) incentive contributions by the equivalent of the tax rebate,” he said.

“It’s significant.

“When I made a presentation to the federal inquiry on manufacturing, I said the one thing that must be maintained is the RND incentive.

“If you want companies to innovate they need to be able to afford to innovate.”

Mr Boden said SEMMA was also disappointed that jobseekers under 30 wouldn’t be entitled to unemployment benefits until they’d been out of work for more than six months.

“We know there are people who could have been working for 10 years, be 28, have a family, and become unemployed and take six months to get back on their feet,” he said.

“This will increase their stress levels and impact their health in general.

“And I’m not sure that I can see where the government has assisted in the creation of jobs.

“The budget doesn’t seem to give a great boost to job creation.”

Mr Boden said it was not yet clear if the federally-funded Enterprise Connect was disappearing.

“They supply business specialists that can advise you on your company and grants,” he said.

“We believe it is being shut down from 1 January next year, and we’re not sure if it’s being replaced or not.”

Committee for Dandenong chairman Gary Castricum encouraged the State Government to access the new $11.6 billion Federal Infrastructure Growth Package to fast track the Port of Hastings “as a nation-building project with rail and road links to the inland port in Dandenong”.

He said the $1 billion removed from industry assistance programs would impact negatively on industry.

“But proposed small business subsidies and the proposed Entrepreneurs Infrastructure Fund may well assist many of the smaller innovative businesses that also operate in Dandenong,” he said.

“Of course the drop in corporate tax rate of 1.5 per cent will also benefit those smaller companies not impacted by the paid parental leave levy.”

ENTERTAINMENT Scots and history

By CASEY NEILL ALL things Scottish and a touch of Dandenong’s past will take centre stage this weekend.

Dandenong Showgrounds will host the 12th annual Scottish Heritage Day and the Back to Dandenong Stock Market Reunion from 10am to 3pm on Sunday 25 May. Event chairman Graeme Marriott said the free festivities would showcase animal breeds that originated in Scotland, including Shetland ponies, Clydesdale horses and various dogs.

“I’ve been involved in the Clydesdale horse world for many, many years and many, many members of my family are involved in it,” he said.

“Over in Scotland they have a mare and foal show, which is what we have.

“It’s a real family atmosphere.”

There’ll be Highland music and dance and a kilt competition with cash prizes.

“Anyone that wears a kilt can go in it,” Mr Marriott said.

“You might look for the cutest kid in the kilt or the man with the hairiest legs!

“It’s a fun day, and that’s what we want.”

“It’s a good spot to reminisce with mates,” Mr Marriott said.

He said more than 100 perpetual signs lined the walls in tribute to families from the dis-

trict which had connections to the market.

He encouraged families to contact the society if they’d like a sign for their ancestors included.

SPORT Earning the colours

By JARROD POTTER ANTHONY Drmic will don the green-andgold in training this month as he vies for a place in the Australian Boomers’ world championships team.

From his younger days in the green-andgold at Dandenong Rangers all the way up to the Australian Boomers, Drmic , 22, from Endeavour Hills, is ready to seize his chance to earn his ticket to Spain to represent his country.

Boomers’ coach Andrej Lemanis has brought the guard/forward into the 14-man Australian Boomers’ training camp squad and Drmic is keen to get back on court and put behind him a stress fracture that derailed his NCAA season with Boise State.

“I found out about a month ago and have been pretty excited since,” Drmic said.

“I have been recovering from a stress fracture injury to my right foot and am pretty much healed and ready to go.”

“Honestly, I was a little disappointed with my year (at Boise), although my stats individually looked OK, I was plagued with injuries and didn’t perform as well as I wanted to in the second half of the season.”

The training camp is the pre-cursor to the upcoming Aus-Sino Challenge - where the Boomers face China - and Drmic wants

to earn his colours and make a mark on the coaching panel to give him another chance at the international level.

“I have yet to play in the series and am pretty excited,” Drmic said.

“Each year, it has become better and got more of a following from people back home.

“I’m just excited to put on the green and gold again after taking a break from it last year.”

Making the world championships would be a dream-come-true for Drmic, but he knows the challenge ahead will be difficult to make that select squad.

“This is my goal,” Drmic said.

“It will be extremely hard to make the actual team, but if I come into the camps with a positive attitude and perform well, you never know what can happen.”

Drmic confirmed he will finish his basketball collegiate career with Boise State, then look towards the professional ranks.

“I’ll be completing my senior year at Boise State and will then explore my professional options, whether that be the NBA, overseas, or even back home in Australia,” Drmic said.

Drmic was thrilled to trial for the upcoming Aus-Sino Challenge, which starts on 29 May at Challenge Stadium, Perth.

Anthony Drmic, pictured playing college basketball for Boise State University, has been selected for the Australian Boomers training camp this month in Perth.

Out of the bowl… and out of this world DANDENONG played host to the best flippers, grinders and aerialists on Saturday as the Skate Park Leagues series took Hemmings Park by storm. Matthew Morton (above) and Rhys Rogers (below) had the crowd in their hands as they went through their BMX tricks. The highlight of the BMX set came from Morton as he took a long-run up, practically to the edge of the highway, before successfully landing a front-flip out of the bowl.

SHINING on as Emerald, Springvale Lions’ baseball star Shae Lillywhite has earned another chance to take on the rest of the world.

Lillywhite, from Somerville, is one of the Lions’ premier sluggers and has been a mainstay in the Australian Emeralds’ Women’s Baseball team since 2001.

She’s part of the 31-woman squad that will strive for Australian victory at the Women’s World Cup in Japan this September.

Lillywhite is the most experienced player in the Emeralds’ roster - with seven international appearances - and is the current Baseball Australia Women’s Player of the Year.

She believes Australia can perform well at the World Cup, but all she can do now is to train and practice to her best ability and let the tournament sort itself out.

“We’ve been preparing for the last couple of years really well, we’ve changed the structure a little bit, and with a new coaching staff, you can only prepare well... then the tournament takes care of itself,” Lillywhite said.

“We’re up against some pretty stiff competition but in a week’s tournament you never know what can happen.”

Her last 12 months have been a whirlwind, including a professional stint in Japan.

Lillywhite played professionally for South Dione in the Japan Women’s Baseball League and her highlight was a double she

Shae Lillywhite has earned her spot on Australian baseball’s World Cup team.

PICTURE: BASEBALL AUSTRALIA struck in the Japan Cup final.

“I was the first international player to go and it was a bit of a learning curve for them and myself,” Lillywhite said.

“I played ok - would’ve liked to have gone better, but it was a bit hard for me coming into a team half-way through their season... I fitted in really well and

the first month or two was a real novelty for them and I really enjoyed it.”

Her immediate challenge is a seven-week baseball tournament playing for the Chicago Gems.

SPORT BIG V - round 9

Killer Cougars

Junior round in the spirit of the game UNITED positively on and off the field, junior footballers across the state will take part in the Spirit of Football Round.

Entering its second season, the round will bring together thousands of junior footballers in south-east Victoria, creating awareness of good role models, tolerance and sportsmanship among our state’s young athletes and their families.

Almost 8000 Australian rules footballers, aged between nine and 16, will take part in the Spirit of Football Round across Victoria this week between 22 and 25 May. An initiative of the South East Juniors in partnership with The Beehive Foundation, AFL Victoria South East, and Fox Sports Pulse, the round will create awareness among players, coaches, club representatives and parents of the importance of being good role models, good sportsmanship and helping your mates.

The Spirit of Football Round will kick-off with a footy training clinic on Thursday 22 May at the

Casey Fields ground run by AFL Victoria South East involving U15, U17 and Youth Girls’ clubs, coaches and parents in a collaborative manner.

SEJ General Manager Shaun Connell said the league was excited by this initiative following the huge success of the event last year.

“The Spirit of Football Round encapsulates the essence of junior sport which encourages participation and sportsmanship,” Connell said.

“SEJ continues to work with its member clubs in promoting positive environments for all players, officials and spectators.

“The programs delivered by Beehive to our member clubs are having a positive impact on clubs and our players.”

Director and Co-Founder of Beehive Foundation Michael Spiteri is delighted with the support from the South East Juniors, AFL Victoria South East Juniors, Fox Sports Pulse and Keep Your Cool for getting involved with this initiative.

Milojevic magic!

Main Picture - Eric Miraflores shone for Keysborough with 34 points in its win over Casey. 120592 Inset - Kevin Benn reels in a rebound against Casey’s Dean Johnson. 120592 Pictures: JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER ONE step up from a gutter brawl, Keysborough managed to out-pace Casey Cavaliers in a nine-point basketball thriller on Saturday night.

The match threatened to spill out and cause carnage as all were left ripping hair out over decisions as technical fouls were doled out liberally in response from the referees.

Thankfully cooler heads prevailed and the task at hand was rallied and executed strongly by Keysborough.

The Cougars shot the lights out as a whopping 11-of-20 hit from the threepoint arc to keep the Cavaliers at bay and run out 95-86 winners.

The addition of point guard Eric Miraflores and forwards Chris Jones and Jackson Houpt gave Keysborough coach Nathan Vogt plenty of options to rotate as starting centre Kevin Benn (7 points) found early foul trouble.

The battle between Miraflores and his defenders - Casey guard trio Chris Murray, Steve Michalski and Brad Szalek proved captivating while under the basket Jones and Houpt had their hands full with Matt Witherden and Ash Szalek.

Miraflores (34 points, 8 rebounds, 5 steals) led the Cougar charge from the tip-off as he powered to 23 points by half-time, while Houpt (12 points, 5 rebounds) and Jones (7 points, 12 rebounds) also earned their meal tickets.

Holding on while his team mates succumbed to foul trouble and the referees’ consternation, Casey’s Matt Witherden (41 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists) carried the offensive task as he pushed through the key, hit five-of-eight longrange three-pointers and chopped out defensively against the Cougars forwards.

“We want to be playing finals again this year and we need all the high intensity games we’re going to get,” Vogt said.

“That’s the goal - we want to go one better than we have in the last two years, so in a league where we’ve had a few blowout games we need a couple of strong matches like this to put us under pressure.”

“We’ve got a number of guys who can step up and score - so we’re getting that balance right and any given night it could be any of them - I’ve probably got eight guys who can catch a lot and get big numbers.”

The win betters Keysborough to a 6-3 record before facing Mornington at home on Sunday.

Just to even the slate Keysborough Cougars’ women faced Casey Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon and lost 41-66.

The Keysborough Cougars and the entire Keysborough Basketball Association wanted to send a happy birthday shout out to three-year-old basketball super-fan Ryder, who is bravely battling leukaemia at the moment.

COMING from nowhere to snatch victory, Springvale White Eagles swooped on a 3-2 win over Kingston City.

The match was decidedly onesided until the dying minutes as Kingston City smashed the first two goals via Max Etheridge and Gino Defeo.

Facing a 0-2 deficit with 15 minutes left, Jamie de Smit let rip with shot better resembling cannon fire from the 25-yard mark that Kingston’s Sermin Sadikovski had no chance of stopping.

The next retaliation came as Milojevic beguiled City’s defence and was brought down in the box by an errant tackle by Andrew Doig.

Abel Fesseha had no trouble slotting the ensuing penalty to leave the last 10 minutes open for either side to snatch victory from the hands of a draw.

Milojevic made sure everyone would be shouting him drinks on

Saturday night after completing the miraculous comeback. His bouncing, swirling shot to the near post was enough to push the White Eagles ahead and claim the points in a thrilling second-half most Springvale fans will never forget.

The win pushes Springvale to 10th on the NPL1 ladder with a 3-5 record.

Greater Dandenong’s winning ways continued with Dandenong City emerging victorious 2-1 over Sunshine George Cross with both scores coming via Goran Jozeljic.

City faces Avondale Heights away on Saturday while Springvale White Eagles travel to FC Bendigo.

Dandenong Thunder unveiled the redeveloped George Andrews Reserve pavilion on Sunday night against Werribee City and will again be at home on Saturday night against Ballarat Red Devils.

SPORT EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 6

Bulls fall from a great height The high-flying Brett Dore clunks another mark in Noble Park’s loss to Vermont. 120591 Pictures: JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER WITHOUT enough left in the tank, Noble Park fell away in the final term of its 40-point beating by Vermont.

The plague of former Noble Park campaigns struck again as injuries started to pile up.

Trent Robertson (knee) left the match in the first half before Piva Wright and Stewart Kemperman were also forced to the bench in the latter parts of the clash.

Despite numerical disadvantage, Noble Park rallied through the third term to kick three goals - with Hugh Sandilands and Brett Dore slotting their own early - and threaten Vermont.

Hugh Sandilands was impressive on debut for Noble Park. 120591

The Bulls’ charge of premiership years was back on display in the aptly named premiership quarter as Craig Anderson, Stewart Kemperman and Sammy Monaghan linked up and excelled through the centre.

The Bulls granted too much leeway for the Eagles on the scoreboard as inaccurate kicking and failed chances left Noble Park 20 points in arrears at the final change.

Vermont exploited its personnel advantage to outrun Noble Park in the final term and slam on eightgoals-to-five in a scoring bonanza.

Hugh Sandilands made his Noble Park debut this season and impressed as a lead-out forward and ruck option against Vermont’s former AFL premiership winning

powerhouse Simon Taylor.

Justin Van Unen (8 goals) continued to prove he is in a league of his own in the Vermont forward line while former Gippsland Power forward Matt Willcocks provided another great option, but was well helped by Bulls’ defender Bobby Kemperman.

Bulls’ coach Jon Knight said there was a lot to be impressed about beside the final margin and believes his charges can beat Vermont on their day.

“I thought our endeavour was good and we had a real crack but there were times we didn’t use the footy well and especially in that second quarter we kept kicking it back to them,” Knight said.

“We had no bench in the end Kemperman had to play out of position in the end and Dorey (Brett Dore) took more of the ruckwork than we’d like and having Chuck (Glen Manson) out, Piva doing his calf, we were thrown around a bit with big blokes.”

Knight also praised the courage of his group with Wright and Brett Dore constantly marking the seemingly impossible from three-on-one or worse situations. The fleet-footed Clay McCartney kept Vermont chasing as he would play on and shrug off anyone trying to track him down.

Noble Park hosts Blackburn on Saturday with a chance to improve a 2-3 record and move up from eighth place on the EFL Division 1 ladder.

SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 5

Surprise flyer a Demon DIVISION 2 THE comeback kings took their rightful throne as Springvale Districts emerged from nowhere to beat Mordialloc.

Rousing a measly 11 points up to three-quarter-time, the fire was lit under the Demons’ backsides and finally started hitting up their targets and pushing through for goals.

Mordialloc was left as part of the audience in the final term - kicking only a single point against the wind with no stopping the faster Districts.

Danny Wilson brought the margin back to level pegging - with some thinking another draw was on the cards for Springvale - but

the Demons’ backline held firm and eventually cleared to Clint Brooks, who pulled down a great contested mark and passed off to Brad Dight to put the Demons ahead as the siren beckoned. Dight’s kick flew truly just before the siren wailed to give the unexpected win to the visitors.

Springvale Districts heads to Murrumbeena to push into the top four and better its 3-2 record.

Springvale Districts will host its annual Ladies’ Day on 31 May with all funds raised going to support the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA). RSVPs to Sharon Thompson on 0401 497 492 will be accepted until 24 May.

New feathers leave a streak

By DAVID NAGEL CASEY CARDINIA FOOTBALL LEAGUE Senior - round 6 KEYSBOROUGH’S losing streak has stretched to five in the Casey Cardinia Football League after the Burra were overrun by an improving Tooradin at Rowley Allen Reserve.

The Burra’s 45-point loss, 20.23 (143) to 15.8 (98), could have been much worse, the Seagulls wasting a stack of opportunities, particularly in the second term. The visitors kicked 3.9 to 2.1 for the quarter, failing to come to grips with a tricky breeze that made skills difficult to execute.

The Burra then produced one its best quarters of football for the season, matching their higher ranked opponents in the third stanza with 7.4 apiece, to leave the margin at 23 points at the final break. Tooradin has been deplorable in its final quarters this season, but ran out this one… their 5.6 to 2.2 final charge was good enough to get the points.

The Burra had a different look on the weekend, with coach Chris Bryan and his fellow ruckman Bryce Sutton forced to sit out, meaning an undersized big-man department struggled to contain their opponents.

Agape Patolo, with four goals, Adam Splatt with two, and a fine performance from Michael Wallace around the ground gave the Seagulls the necessary edge.

Keysborough had many fine performers of its own, who will now relish a week-off as the CCFL representative team travels to Simonds Stadium Geelong this Saturday to take on the Bellarine league.

Geoff Humphreys continued his stellar season with another typically hard-running display while Narre Warren recruit, Cam Dalton joined Reece Spadaccini and Danny Morland as other serviceable contributors.

Davor Rajic kicked five for the Burra, while Tim Werner and Humphreys bagged three apiece. The Burra’s next outing will take place against Beaconsfield, at Holm Park Road, on Saturday 31 May.

VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION CLUB XVIII (1) - round 6 BELTED from pillar-to-post by Hawthorn Amateurs, the highlight reel will be short for Dandenong-based multicultural football team Masala. The Tigers had no answers for the Hawks’ forward forays and were unable to score anything of their own in the 171-point belting. Masala heads to Mount Lilydale on Saturday to search for its first win of the season.

MOTORING

Hot hatch fires up fond memories

By DEREK OGDEN T’WAS a dark and stormy night... with an Audi S3 in the driveway I was late for a meeting in the hills of the Gold Coast hinterland.

The trip through the tight twists and turns in lashing rain and into the clouds remains one of the most striking I have ever taken.

The little Audi not once gave cause for alarm.

With the German company’s signature quattro all-wheel drive system on full song, the hot hatch gripped the narrow road like a rock climber on a vertical face.

The memories came flooding back recently when I spent time with the latest of the Audi S3 line, the Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic automatic. There’s also a six-speed manual. Both come to market at $59,900.

The test car featured metallic pearl effect paint, at $1050 extra, and the S performance package consisting of 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, red brake calipers, Nappa leather sports seats, 3D design black inlays, Bang & Olufsen sound system, LED headlamps, LED daytime running lights and Audi magnetic ride, all for $4990.

Typical of a hot hatch, the Audi S3 Sportback plays on the theme of its A3 sibling, the lower bonnet and sloping D-pillar adding the sharper visuals of a sporty car without going over the top.

The single-frame radiator grille frame is chromed, the insert matt grey, and carries expansive Audi rings and an understated S3 insignia, while horizontal twin crossbars have a shiny aluminium look.

The redesigned bumper has integrated air inlets with aluminium-look double ribs.

The test car was fitted with optional LED headlamps, previously available only on high-end vehicles, which not only look the part but provide superior illumination.

LED technology has been extended to lights at the rear where the bumper has been redesigned.

Red brake calipers are visible through the spokes of 18-inch alloy wheels.

A grey diffuser with aluminium-look double bar houses four oval chrome-tipped tailpipes.

A roof-mounted spoiler with side inserts adds to the car’s overall dimensions.

Completely done out in black, the cabin interior is a match for the sporty exterior. Instrument faces are grey, the needles white, with the rev counter incorporating a charge pressure indicator.

Driver information is projected on a pop-up

colour screen when the ignition is turned on. The standard leather multifunction sport flat-bottom steering wheel, with S tronic, incorporates aluminium-look shift paddles.

Pedals are aluminium, sports seats are leather trimmed, the rear positions are firm and flat, offering adequate legroom and headroom to match.

Boot space is a fully usable 340 litres.

The only thing the totally new Audi S3 engine shares with its predecessor engine is its 1984 cc capacity.

For more information contact Audi Barry Bourke, 755 Princes Highway, Berwick. Phone 9707 2222.

Audi S3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic automatic $59,900 (as tested $65,940); Audi S3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro manual $59,900.
