Nature calling

Monika Barany outside her caravan that was flattened by a fallen pine at Shawlands Caravan Park, Dandenong. 128293 form - detached the high-hanging branch without damage to the imperilled caravan.

Ms Miller praised the prompt, competent response from SES volunteers, who were called out to 26 building damage and fallen-tree incidents during the wild winds.

Power was cut off to central Dandenong, temporarily closing down the railway station’s PA system and the library.

A CALL of nature may have saved a Dandenong caravan park resident’s life during last Tuesday’s storm.

Monika Barany had just put her shopping down next to her caravan’s fridge in Shawlands Caravan Park shortly before 4.30pm when she got the ‘call’.

She had taken a dozen steps towards the park’s toilet block when she braced for a sudden loud gust, “a swirl of wind”.

Then she heard a resounding crash behind her and saw her caravan crushed by a fallen pine.

Her home - which she had only moved into two days before - looked like “someone stepped on a can of Coke”, her neighbour ‘Polish’ Siateck said.

The trunk came to rest at waist-height in the caravan’s kitchen area.

Had Ms Barany been unloading her groceries, she doubts she would have survived.

“I’m just so lucky, so lucky,” she said the morning after as she examined the wreck.

“I don’t really want to look at it at all.”

A few neighbours told her she should buy a Tattslotto ticket.

She said: “I think I’ve used up my lives for now. I’m not pushing my luck.”

During the sudden gust, roof sheeting from the park’s main house was peeled loose and a branch smashed through another resident’s window.

Shawlands manager Liz Miller said she was thankful no-one had been hurt during what was like “being in the eye of a tornado”.

“It was like a freight train sound.”

Mr Siateck said the “best I could describe it was a swirling rain of debris - and then the tree came down”.

“First the wind came from (the north-east), then it swirled around from (the west).

“I’ve travelled around Australia. I’ve never seen a wind like this.

“I was s***ting myself. It was scary.”

A Greater Dandenong SES crew also noticed a snapped pine branch hanging vertically over a caravan next to Ms Barany’s home.

SES unit controller Paul Daniel said members - with the help of a Dandenong CFA ladder plat-

Rights lawyer praises ‘fair go’

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS BARRISTER and human rights advocate Julian Burnside has glowingly endorsed Greater Dandenong Council’s actions at a launch of its asylum seekers and refugees action plan last Thursday.

Mr Burnside, AO, QC, said the plan offered “hope” for “the spirit of the country” against anti-asylum-seeker sentiment emanating from both major federal political parties.

Of successive governments’ policies to deter asylum seekers, he said: “We’re trying to make Australia nastier than the Taliban (to asylum seekers).

“I wonder how many Australians can be proud that coming to Australia can be seen as less attractive than facing the Taliban.”

He wondered if Australians’ anxiety about boat arrivals was caused by a “dim recollection” of how Aboriginals have been dispossessed of their lands and children since the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788.

The Tampa episode of 2001 was a “political response” by the former Howard government. The 4000 boat

Julian Burnside QC and councillor Roz Blades. 127565 arrivals that year was dwarfed by the 200,000 total migrant intake, Mr Burnside said.

“People will look back on the years from 2001 and think how did we let governments do this in our name.

“Dandenong can say we saw what was wrong and did what we thought was right.”

The council’s plan looks at the growing demands on community services and volunteers helping asylum

seekers, material aid, housing, financial independence, wellbeing, social isolation and literacy.

“If every city in Australia had the same attitude (as Greater Dandenong Council)... we wouldn’t have a prob-

lem. The people who have the courage to escape persecution... we should welcome them as people bound to make an effort to build the Australia we can be proud of.”

He later told the Journal he was most impressed by the plan’s social inclusiveness.

“I thnk Australians see themselves as laid-back, (giving a) fair-go and egalitarian, and I think it’s largely true.

“But overseas we’re seen as cruel and selfish. That’s why Dandenong stands out as an example of what we are really like”.

Mr Burnside said rising anti-Islamic sentiment and the “Murdoch press” which “never tire of acting as a megaphone of (Border Protection Minister Scott) Morrison and his policies” were fueling the situation.

“You can’t read about asylum seekers in the Murdoch press without them being called ‘illegals’.”

He described anti-Muslim views were the “new anti-Semitism”.

“I hope we don’t learn in the same way as with anti-Semitism how toxic this sentiment is.”

Community’s mixed response to Cambodia resettlement GREATER Dandenong’s Cambodian community is divided over Australia’s $40 million deal to send refugees to the recovering country.

The Cambodian and Australian governments last week announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to offer voluntary refugee settlement in Cambodia, with Cambodia to determine the number and timing.

Border Protection Minister Scott Morrison said Cambodia was party to the Refugees Convention and was making countless efforts to develop the country after civil war.

“Australia will bear the direct costs of the arrangement, including initial support to refugees, and relevant

capacity-building for Cambodia to ensure it has the appropriate resources to receive and integrate the refugees successfully,” he said.

Greater Dandenong’s 2011 Young Achiever of the Year and Cambodian refugee Kalyan Ky said she was very supportive of the deal.

“More positives will come out of it than negatives,” she said.

“Lots of people don’t seem to understand that it’s about capacitybuilding.

“Cambodia is the only South-East Asia region nation not equipped to take refugees.

“It has one of the fastest-growing economies - therefore it should also have obligations to take refugees.

“It’s a voluntary deal. If the refugees choose not to go, that’s up to them.”

Ms Ky said Cambodia had a very open business market.

“There are many very successful Cambodians who have their own businesses,” she said.

“A lot of my relatives - we came out of Cambodia and they’re more successful than us.

“If people are go-getters they can really succeed in Cambodia. If they want to get out of poverty... it allows people to do that. The government doesn’t intervene in your private life.”

She said most people she spoke to in Cambodia supported the initiative.

“The ones who don’t agree with it

are the most vocal,” she said.

But Cambodian-born City of Greater Dandenong councillor Heang Tak said many of the 5000-plus Cambodians living in the municipality had expressed grave concerns.

“The Cambodian Government is a corrupt government,” he said.

“Since 2004 I’ve visited Cambodia almost on a yearly basis.

“I have family and friends who completed one or two university degrees who are unable to get employment.

“There’s no reliable figures to say how many are unemployed. Those who are employed earn less than $2.50 per day.”

Cr Tak said Cambodia was not an

Round two: Isaacs MP gives hate speech a verbal bashing ISAACS MP Mark Dreyfus has slammed calls to resuscitate the Federal Government’s abandoned attempt to soften bans on “racist hate speech”.

Mr Dreyfus said moves by four senators, including Family First’s Bob Day and Liberal backbencher Cory Bernardi, to revive the proposed removal of section 18C from

the Racial Discrimination Act were “hugely disappointing”.

The section states it is illegal to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate a person or group because of their race, colour or national or ethnic origin.

“As a community we thought we had put an end to this movement to allow racist hate speech.

fend” from section 18C, which was debated in the Senate last week.

Mr Bernardi told the Senate it “defies common sense for it to be illegal to make statements that are likely to insult or offend an individual or a group”.

“It is now clear that there are members of the Abbott government who still believe that the rights of racists and bigots are more important than the right of all Australians to live without fear of being abused or vilified because of their ethnic background.”

The senators introduced a bill to remove the words “insult” and “of-

English-speaking nation and was a Buddhist community.

“There’s a lot of work that needs to be done if refugees were to be successfully integrated,” he said.

Barrister and human rights advocate Julian Burnside, at the launch of City of Greater Dandenong’s asylum seeker action plan, said the idea that Australia throws hapless people on a “broke” country was indecent.

“And also, what we’re doing is ridiculously expensive.”

Lyndhurst MP Martin Pakula visited Cambodia earlier this year.

“Cambodia is in a state of turmoil and is not currently equipped to receive, process and resettle asylum seekers,” he said.

Church faith falls flat A PROPOSED church opposite an under-construction mosque and a Samoan church has been rejected

by Greater Dandenong Council for encroaching on an “intact” lightindustrial zone.

In a meeting last month, councillors - in concord with council officers - voted against the Destiny Impact Worship Centre proposal for a 20-person congregation at 24 Claredale Road, Dandenong, on Friday evenings and Sunday mornings.

According to a council report,

the proposal also fell short of the required six on-site parking spaces.

Councillor Matthew Kirwan, in support of the application, said the small congregation size and limited opening hours would not affect neighbouring businesses.

He said he felt “duty-bound” to support the proposal in a light-industrial area rather than residential streets.

“It is a good opportunity to put a place of assembly away from where it could affect residential parking.”

Councillor Sean O’Reilly, in opposition, said it would be an “island

amongst industry”.

“I think there would be plenty of places in our municipality which would support a place of worship (for four hours a week).”

Councillor John Kelly said aside from his parking concerns, the proposed church would limit future industrial uses in the area.

“To allow just one (on-site) parking space is unforgiveable when we need six or seven. I think this is the most inappropriate area.”

He said it was important to support industrial areas as the “backbone” of this city. “It’s about jobs.”

On the opposite corners of the street - within a City of Casey industrial zone - are the neighbouring places of worship.

One hundred metres away on the Casey side is a residential estate.

On the Greater Dandenong side of the road is what council officers describe as an “intact industrial area” bound by Plunkett Road, Lonsdale Street, Box Street and Claredale Road.

Church proponent Richard Boateng was unavailable for comment.

Sound of kinder's talented thankyou tunes

By CASEY NEILL SHALIMAR Park Pre-School is supporting an Endeavour Hills family though a cancer battle and has received a musical thankyou for its efforts.

Australia’s Got Talent 2012 winner and cancer survivor Andrew De Silva is a musical ambassador for cancer charity Challenge and performed at the Dandenong North kinder on 19 September.

It was randomly selected from the schools and kindergartens that in term two chose A Day in May for students to come dressed in yellow and make a gold coin donation for Challenge.

Shalimar Park also received a $1000 voucher for musical instruments.

Liz Tsiakmakis’s son Thomas, 5, was diagnosed with leukaemia about three-and-a-half years ago.

“He’s been with the kinder for a couple of years now and they’ve helped him through his treatment,” she said.

“A lot of the kids have already put their requests in for instruments.

“Having Andrew De Silva there, everybody wants a guitar.

“Thomas came home and played with our little guitar. He thinks he’s Andrew De Silva now.”

Ms Tsiakmakis heard about A Day in May two years ago and suggested that the preschool take part.

“They took it on straight away - they were happy to get involved,” she said.

“We did it again this year.

“All the parents dressed their kids in the colour yellow and they made yellow instruments and had honey joys.

“The kids made their own drum kits and they were going around singing ‘happy yellow day’.

“Having Thomas there and having that personal experience and connection - even for the educators, they were quite touched by it all.”

Police are searching for this man.

Hunt for home break-in bandit POLICE believe one man is responsible for four home burglaries in Noble Park on 30 July.

Last week they released a FACE image and appealed for public help to identify the thief, who took jewellery and household electrical items during the break-ins.

The man has a distinctive scar between his eyes and a black and grey tattoo of a pinup girl on his left arm.

He’s described as about 30 years old, 195 centimetres tall, skinny and of Asian appearance.

Call Detective Senior Constable Bree Jarvis at Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7666 with any information.

Mosque correction AN UNNAMED man was represented as a religious leader at a mosque attended by Numan Haider in Dandenong Journal’s page 1 story Shooting Stress on 29 September.

Although the man is a religious leader of the association based at the mosque, the Journal has been since advised he is no longer employed at the mosque itself.

The Journal accepts the man’s views may not necessarily be those of the mosque’s current leadership.

Ms Tsiakmakis sat down with Thomas before Andrew’s visit.

“He said ‘he’s got the same thing as me. Andrew’s like me, I’m gonna be like him’,” she said.

“He’s only got one more treatment to go. He’s got his last chemo on 27 October.

“He’s really excited. He knows he’ll be able to go to big school now.”

CEO David Rogers said a little boy who fought a cancer battle inspired A Day in May. “His favourite colour was yellow and, regardless of his treatment,

embraced life and surrounded those around him with happiness,” he said.

“Singing, dancing, playing an instrument and designing songs created moments away from the reality of being sick and helped this special boy stay positive.”

Masters of the manor WHAT’S IN A NAME? WHAT’S IN A NAME DELVES INTO THE FASCINATING STORIES AND PERSONALITIES BEHIND SOME OF THE CITY’S BEST KNOWN STREET NAMES. THIS WEEK THE JOURNAL LOOKS AT CENTRAL DANDENONG’S MASTERS STREET. THE first family of Masters to arrive in Dandenong were William and Catherine Masters who migrated from Cadbury in Somerset, England, in 1853.

By 1860 William Masters had set

himself up as a wheelwright and general blacksmith.

The couple had three sons, William Junior born in 1853, James born in 1854 and Henry born in 1858.

Henry later married Caroline and worked a small farmlet at 184 Foster Street, which became known as Masters Paddock.

The couple had one son and five daughters.

The farm consisted of a neat weatherboard cottage with an outdoor laundry and numerous farm buildings and structures such as a saddle room, cow bails and caff cutting room.

The property was used as the local golf course and also as part of a track for horse racing when required.

Henry and Catherine lived there until the 1950s.

After their deaths the property was

sold and the rear acreage adjoining Power Street was subdivided for housing.

The subdivision comprised 25 residential blocks and linked Wilson Street and Power Street, hence the new street was named Masters Street.

The Foster Street frontage of the farmlet is now where the Houlihan Centre is located. Part of the land was given to the state school and became a sports field.

Street numbers BERYL Taylor who lives in Firth Avenue, Dandenong, wrote to the Journal wanting to know why First Avenue, Second Avenue and Third Avenue are located in Dandenong North, while Fifith Avenue, Sixth Avenue and Seventh Avenue are located in Dandenong West and why there is no Fourth Avenue

anywhere in Dandenong.

Well Beryl, according to the City of Greater Dandenong First, Second, Third and Fourth Avenues in Dandenong North were subdivided in 1928.

It seems that Fourth Avenue was probably later realigned and changed name to Rhoden Court.

This is a separate subdivision, separate subdivider and separate postal district to other subdivisions in Dandenong.

Heatherton Road is the boundary between the two postal districts/suburbs.

The land on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Avenues were subdivided at different times and most probably by different owners.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 8 October 1914 THE WAR - Patriotic news Original Poetry by a Dandenong State School pupil ’An Australian prayer for the welfare of the Australian soldiers.’

Our home, Australia! We love thy glorious name. And as patriots we know we should expand our fame; Our motherland has helped us in building armaments of war, Now ’tis our turn in helping to defend our native shore, Though the eagle of destruction its cruel talons shows, And the once friendly nations have become our deadly foes, We must push for ever onward, helped by a loving hand,

To the shore of dear old Britain to defend our motherland; Can we all help our motherland in this cruel war?

Can we all journey from this country and land on England’s shore, There are other ways of helping and one of these is prayer, And in subscribing for the comfort of our heroes going there, Oh! Do these soldiers realise that God, in all his love, Is watching all their plans and actions from above?

He also guards and comforts those who wait for them to come’ And whose hearts and souls awaken at the sounding of the drum, Oh God! pray bless our soldiers

and all who guard our land, And mothers, wives and children, who have left them in your hand; For they know that you will bless them, and joy will be once more, when you land them still more glorious upon their native shore.

Jean S Walker 50 years ago 7 October 1964 UK Driving Licences in Australia IN YOUR issue of September 9th, you have published a story headed "British licence no good to motorist at Berwick".

It concerns a case held at the Berwick Court.

English licence are valid in the State of Victoria whilst the holder is

a bona fide visitor.

This advice given by the RACV to Mr Rogers was correct at the time it was given.

20 Years Ago 10 October 1994 Daughter Dials 000 for help A girl 4, is the toast of the Ambulance service today, after dialling 000 for her mother, who had collapsed in the kitchen.

Fire Fighter Murray Holmes, based at Dandenong Station, said he was glad he and his wife Carolyn taught daughter Brooke how to use the phone. Brooke dialled, answered all the ambulance service’s questions and even stood out the front of the house at the request

of the ambulance officers to make sure they had the right house.

5 years ago 5 October 2009 Rare plant life could be wiped out if the proposed Dingely Arterial encroaches on the Comoora Woodland Flora and Fauna Reserve, a Keysborough man has warned.

Damon Anderson has formed the Save Coomoora Reserve Coalition to try and stop the arterial.

The 3.7-hectare woodland, off Coomoora Road and managed

by Greater Dandenong Council, spreads onto the road reserve, earmarked 40 years ago for the arterial.

Advertorial

PRINCIPAL OF YELLOW BRICK ROAD DANDENONG DELWYN RAYNER, EACH WEEK SHARES A COLUMN ON WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL MATTERS FOR THE JOURNAL.

Right investment, right time investment portfolio with shares making up around half of your super and fixed interest around 20 per cent (fixed interest generally has a higher yield than cash and much less volatility than shares). If you already have an investment property – making you heavily weighted in property – you might move your super to a ‘moderate’ portfolio where you only have 35 per cent in shares, and 35 per cent in fixed interest.

55-65: this is the era of your life when you’re leading into retirement. So many of your decisions will be focused on how large you need your nest egg to be, what tax benefits you can use, how to ‘transition’ out of work and how to balance risk and stability. This is a really good time to have financial advice, to think about releasing equity from the family home and boosting your tax-friendly personaal contributions to super. Most people in this life stage will be hoping to be debt-free and they’ll reduce their superannuation options to a split of 60 per cent fixed interest and 40 per cent cash – very stable, with low yields.

In the end, building wealth during your working years is really about providing for retirement. And in order to get where you want to go, you have to make your future goals fit your life stage.

Building wealth requires good decisions about the assets you invest in. But building wealth also happens against a context of time, which means you have to invest against where you are in your life, what you are capable of, and what you need: in other words, your life-stage. How do you create a plan that fits your life-stage?

Here are some basics: 25-35: these are the years of high disposable income when you should be focused on eliminating credit card debt, saving money for a house deposit and ensuring your superannuation options are set to the ‘aggressive’ end of the scale. This means you’re invested around 80 per cent in shares, with the remainder taken up by cash, fixed interest and listed property.

You are young enough to weather the volatility of shares while reaping the larger yields. This gives you longer for the compound effect to work.

35-45: you should be paying off a mortgage and paying attention to the best interest rates and loan type; your growing equity gives you options should you want to refinance. This is an historically low interest rate environment, so use it get ahead on the mortgage. Your super should still be at the growth end of the spectrum, between 65 and 80 per cent in shares.

These are the years to be focused on proper insurance cover, especially if you own a business or have children.

45-55: if you haven’t yet seen a financial adviser, these are the years to do it. Develop a plan for ridding yourself of debt, start putting your own contributions into super and use taxfriendly salary sacrificing to boost your nest egg. You’ll be thinking more about a ‘balanced’

Fight for survival

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS MONEY exchanges in Dandenong whose bank accounts have been mysteriously closed by the ‘Big Four’ banks are frantically searching for ways to save their businesses.

In latest developments: - Bashir Keshtiar, president of the Australian-Afghan Business Council, said he was in negotiations with “a couple of local banks” to fill the gaps.

- Greater Dandenong Council is also making representations on behalf of the traders to the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship as well as Westpac, NAB, ANZ and the Commonwealth Bank.

The 10 affected remitters in Dandenong are popularly used by migrants, refugees and asylum seekers from Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan to send money home to needy family members.

“We know the big banks themselves (without the local money exchanges) can’t provide these services to remote parts of Afghanistan,” Mr Keshtiar said.

“I myself can’t trust the banking system in Afghanistan to transfer money quickly. That’s why we rely on (local remittance services).

“It’s a big problem that will affect the clients and community. It means these services will shut down.”

Mr Keshtiar said traders continued to be mystified as to why the bank accounts were closed, though conceded terrorismfunding fears may be a possible reason.

Last week a man in Melbourne’s west was arrested and charged with six counts of intentionally making funds available the Islamic State and Al Qaeda affiliate

Jabhat al-Nusra.

“We just need a degree of openness,” Mr Keshtiar said.

“If there’s more restrictions and regulations, we are happy to abide by it.

“But if you don’t know why... you get offended.”

As reported in the Journal last week, the traders had been told by Westpac that it was set to shut down their accounts this month for “policy” reasons.

Managers of MP Exchange in Thomas Street said it is registered and reports regularly to the federal Australian Transactions Report and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).

Director Ali Parwarish said he did not know what he could do to save the business because “we don’t have enough information”.

He said it was not fair if his Afghan Hazara-run exchange was being put in the same category as those used for terrorism funding.

“We’re the ones affected by terrorism funding in the Middle East. We’re the victims of that.”

AUSTRAC released a report on terrorism funding this year, noting remitters were vulnerable to exploitation by terror groups.

“AUSTRAC is aware that some banks have taken... a decision to exit remittance sector customers in some circumstances,” a spokeswoman told the Journal.

Reasons included a bank not comfortable with “the level of risk that it is exposed to by maintaining the accounts of particular customers”.

Show steps back

By CASEY NEILL NOBLE Park RSL took a step back in time last Tuesday to mark 100 years since World War I began.

Victoria’s Journey of Remembrance brought the reality of The Great War to life with skits and songs.

Sub-branch president John Meehan said it was fantastic and very informative.

“Some of the audience were in tears at times because of reminiscing back to the feelings of young kids going off to war,” he said.

“It was beautiful.

“People thanked us for putting on the show.”

Mr Meehan said it was great that the free community road show was visiting schools and other community groups around Victoria.

“It’s giving these kids a look at our heritage, and the sacrifice these young men and women made,” he said.

Victoria’s Journey of Remembrance is part of the State Government’s Anzac Centenary program (2014-2018) and includes a short film, theatre presentation, addresses and a Centenary Commemorative Information Pack.

The program will encourage and support Victorians to learn more about their WWI history and work within their community to commemorate the Anzac Centenary.

DNA test leads to conviction

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A JAILED man has been convicted using DNA evidence found at a burgled Dandenong South business last year.

Dale Rispin, who pleaded guilty to burglary and theft, appeared via prison video link at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday last week.

The court was told Rispin’s hair, blood and skin were found on the sill of a broken window which he used to gain entry to a storage shed at an equipment hire business on South Gippsland Highway, Dandenong South, on 11 March 2013.

Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Glenn Horman said Rispin had thrown a gas bottle through the window

and another through the site’s office front-door window.

Rispin stole a petty-cash tin containing $130 and left.

Rispin, who was already serving a 27-month jail term with a nine-month non-parole period for armed robbery, was eligible for parole on 24 February this year.

The court was told that Rispin, facing his 20th court appearance, had a serious heroin addiction but was determined to become rehabilitated.

His lawyer told the court that Rispin had done “every single course he possibly can” while in prison and had cleared 10 drug tests.

The Adult Parole Board had waited for Monday’s resolution

before considering Rispin for release, the lawyer said.

“It’s now been one year and four months in custody - 217 days past his earliest release date for parole.”

Magistrate Greg Connellan sentenced Rispin to a fourmonth jail term, suspended for 18 months.

“That sentence will hang over your head for seven months after your parole.

“It will provide further incentive to return to the community successfully.”

Rispin was also ordered to pay the burgled business $1487 in compensation for the stolen cash and broken windows.

ABOUT 150 people honoured police who have died in the line of duty at Springvale Botanical Cemetery last Monday.

Springvale Senior Sergeant Alan Dew said “the weather smiled on us” for the occasion on Monday 29 September National Police Remembrance Day and Victoria’s Blue Ribbon Day. “Considering what happened in Endeavour Hills last week it was all very close to home,” he said.

“It’s that sort of job.

“You never know what’s going to happen when you go to work.”

Sen Sgt Dew said he and his team were grateful to members of the public who wore the police ribbon with pride.

“It’s nice to see that appreciation from the public,” he said.

Since 1853, 157 Victoria Police officers have been killed in the line of duty.

Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said it was important that police took time to reflect on the important job they did.

“And it is an opportunity for the community to acknowledge the risks that our men and women take every day to keep them safe,” he said.

Blue Ribbon Day is held each 29 September to coincide with National Police Remembrance Day. The Blue Ribbon Founda-

Riding to safety

1157111-MB41-14

Page 10 Monday, 6 October, 2014

POLICE have bailed out asylum seekers in need of bike safety lessons at Casey Safety Village in Cranbourne East.

Last month 28 clients from Asylum Seekers Resource Centre’s Dandenong office were wheeled through cycling road rules.

Some of the key lessons were the legal requirement to wear helmets, not to ride on footpaths unless accompanying a child under 12, to install bells and lights and wear a safety vest at night.

They earned their certifi-

cates after steering through the village’s replica road network of boom gates, pedestrian lights and school crossing.

After dismounting, the riders learned how to use fire blankets, maintain a smoke alarm and other home fire-safety tips at the village’s CFA Learning Centre.

ASRC manager Rosa Militano said the clients had to be “bike-ready” before receiving donated cycles from Bikes for Refugees.

“We do work closely with the police. It’s in everyone’s interests that we have these guys

ready to ride in the streets.”

Dandenong police chipped in funds from their community engagement budget for the lessons - after a plea for help from ASRC. The City of Casey provided a bus to transport the riders to and from the village.

Inspector Alison Crombie, who leads the police’s southern metropolitan road policing unit, said she was impressed by the students’ appreciation and attentiveness.

“The lessons really did go down well which was especially pleasing for me.”

Julie McCrimmon's children Liam and Abbie get ready to say goodbye to her hair. 127972 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Cruising for cause

In more than 50% of thefts from cars, there was no sign of forced entry.

By CASEY NEILL

1151076-EG38-14

JULIE McCrimmon is risking more than just blisters to take part in Greater Dandenong Relay for Life next weekend.

The Chandler Park Primary School teacher will shave her head if her team, the Chandler Cruisers, raises more than $2000 for the cause.

“We’ve had quite a lot of relatives and friends, particularly in the past 12 months, who have either got cancer or have passed away from the disease,” Ms McCrimmon said.

“I thought it was a really good way of honouring them and cancer research is really important.

“We need as much of that as we can. Otherwise people find out too late.”

Her husband’s stepmother died earlier this year, just 10 months after being diagnosed with liver cancer.

“Just watching her go through that....” she said.

“And not just her - my father-in-law and my brothers in law and my husband - it’s quite horrible.”

Ms McCrimmon has also watched her mum beat breast cancer and her aunt undergo a double mastectomy to tackle the disease.

This will be her first Relay for Life.

The event raises money for the Cancer Council and involves a team keeping a baton moving for 20 hours.

“It’s just something to help,

really,” Ms McCrimmon said.

On Saturday 11 October at 3.45pm, carers and survivors will do the first lap of the Greater Dandenong Relay for Life.

City of Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti will officially open the event at 4pm, children’s activities will run from 5pm to 7pm, and there’ll be a candlelight ceremony to remember loved ones at 8pm.

The closing ceremony will take place at 10am on Sunday 12 October.

Greater Dandenong Relay for Life will be held at Ross Reserve, Memorial Drive, Noble Park.

Visit www.relayforlife.org. au and search for Chandler Cruisers to donate, or for more information.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Unite against conflict

This massive tree in Noble Park toppled during strong winds on 27 September.

Arpad Plander photographed the fallen pine on the corner of Corrigan Road and Memorial Drive.

THERE’S obviously a frantic rush to replace the much-criticised lids on new household waste bins in Greater Dandenong.

Armed with hammers, contractors were replacing yellow lids one-by-one in Pultney Street, Dandenong, last Monday morning.

When the job was done, they rapidly accelerated in their ute down the straight street as a young boy waited to cross on his bike from the adjoining park.

A DANDENONG North family is offering a reward for the safe return of its male eclectus parrot, last seen in the Milan Court/Brady Road/Stud Road area on Friday 29 August.

“He might just be in your back yard, cold and hungry,” the owner said.

“Even if he’s been found and is no longer alive I’d like to know.

“But if someone has him and is keeping him as a pet, Karma will bite

you soon enough.”

So the Journal couldn’t resist sharing the news that the Queensland cock had taken top honours in the Sustenhance Search for Australia’s Fittest and Healthiest Chook.

The judging panel said the decision was tough, but they’d managed to agree on a clear winner without ruffling too many feathers.

The araucana rooster will receive a year’s supply of chook feed and appear in the official 2015 Sustenhance Perfect Poultry Calendar.

NOT satisfied by doing the Ice Bucket Challenge, Noble Park business Magic Mobility dug in deep to help the Motor Neurone Disease Association of Victoria. This month, the firm donated a powered wheelchair, as well as one from a former client.

A TRADIE was carrying more than just a yellow bucket through the Dandenong Police Station foyer on Tuesday morning - he was carrying the solution to a foul stench permeating the waiting area.

“What’s that for?” a colleague asked as he walked toward the nearby toilet.

He replied: “We’re trying to get rid of the smell, mate.”

AS A long-time resident of Endeavour Hills I was shocked to hear about the man shot at the police station where he had come to attack two representatives of law and order.

Now, I feel even more shocked and greatly disappointed by some of the comments and criticisms that I have read in daily media.

We are told that Islam is a religion of peace. I personally still have many Muslim friends in my country of origin. They are good people.

But why do we nowadays have to do striptease when we pass through customs at several international airports?

Why should Australians be scared when attending the Melbourne Show or the Grand Final?

Why should Australians who love their sporting events be bothered and have their bags searched?

Is all this happening because of the good Muslims?

Is it because of the Muslims who pray to Allah five times a day and who really believe in his teaching?

The answer is definitely no.

I also believe that as a migrant,

I am blessed to hold an Australian passport that gives me easy entry into many countries when I travel overseas.

It’s therefore time for us migrants to realise that we are not Australian citizens by our own rights, it’s a privilege that we should cherish.

We are bound to respect Australians’ values, culture, beliefs, religion and traditions.

We have no right to dictate government policy or to impose our own law.

We may sympathise with those who are suffering from acts of violence overseas but we have no right to import other countries’ conflicts into Australia which is a multiethnic and multicultural society.

In this time of crisis, we should all unite behind the government of the day, irrespective of our political affiliations, whatever may be the colour - red, white, blue, yellow or green.

There’s no place for cheap political games.

Instead, we should all endeavour to live in peace and harmony and not turn Australia into a second Lebanon, where one of my best friends in Australia comes from.

A hoon hot-spot

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DRIVER racing at high-speed against another driver in a renowned hooning hot-spot has been fined $2000 and lost his licence for 12 months.

Rolando Mendez-Lozano, 25, pleaded guilty in court on Monday 29 September to speeding at 124 km/h in the 80 km/h zone on the Dandenong Bypass, Dandenong South, at 11.39pm on 12 April.

According to a police summary read at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court, the two cars, both with unilluminated brake lights, accelerated heavily side-by-side.

They passed a number of parked vehicles on the side of the bypass at high speed.

The accused’s car, which he said belonged to the girlfriend he was seeing at the time, backfired with a visible flame spurting from its exhaust.

Mendez-Lozano told police at the time that he hadn’t had the car for long and didn’t know what speed he was doing.

The two cars were impounded on the spot.

Mendez-Lozano also pleaded guilty to failing to stop and give his details after hitting the side of a taxi while driving on St Kilda Road, Southbank, in the early hours of 20 October last year.

However, out of concern about the accused’s “highway racing”, Mr Schultz doubled the minimum licence-disqualification period of six months. Mendez-Lozano was convicted and ordered to complete a safe driving program.

Colours drawn together

By CASEY NEILL CHILDREN are weaving together the fabric of Greater Dandenong at an accessible arts space.

Nebula: My Place opened in the Dandenong Civic Square last Monday, 29 September, to coincide with the Greater Dandenong Children’s Festival and will be open until 10 October.

Nebula is a workshop, gal-

lery, performance and meeting place. Within it, participants will use dyes and paints to colour fabric and paper, and combine them with written and spoken words to explore the threads of community and place.

The council is working with Metro Access and Arts Access Victoria to host the portable arts space which places the needs of artists with disabilities at the centre of its design.

AN EXPLOSION rocked Egan Road in Dandenong South on 25 September.

Emergency services were called to a fire in a white Mercedes Sprinter van about 10.20pm.

Detectives believe three people threw a molotov cocktail into the the van and fled on foot shortly before the flames took hold.

They believe those involved might have been burned during the incident so might have sought medical treatment.

The other half of the home is comprised of the 3 zoned BDRs, all with BIRs, central bathroom with spa and it’s all positioned on a block size of 635m2 (approx.)

Is your home feeling too big or too much to manage? Are you in need of a downsize? This neat as a pin, roomy 2 bed unit in a peaceful pocket of Dandenong North is everything you could ever want. You’re greeted by a bright and spacious living and dining area flowing out onto the established garden and paved courtyard.

The kitchen is a dream come true for the ‘Master Chef’ of the family and it feels more like a house than a unit.

NEW HOMES AND LAND

THE LAST BIG BLOCKS The City of Casey’s most exclusive address, Botanic Ridge Estate, is in the midst of a buyer frenzy with purchasers vying for some of the very last ‘big blocks’ left in Melbourne’s south east.

With over 83 per cent of the estate now sold and 85 per cent of its current stages sold-out, Botanic Ridge is excited to announce the release of 37 new lots in Stage 21.

Marking the end of an era for home buyers, Botanic Ridge Estate is one of the last generously proportioned communities remaining in the market with its current block sizes averaging 600 square metres compared to the local market average of just 458 square metres.

The project’s latest land release, stage 21, features 37 blocks ranging from 510 square metres to 778 square metres, which are located within easy reach of existing parklands and schools, as well as a future shopping centre and sporting precinct.

Set upon beautifully undulating land and offering a stunning environment surrounded by established parks, gardens and greenery, Botanic Ridge offers a relaxed family lifestyle with an abundance of open space to enjoy.

Characterised by its plentiful parklands, stunning homes and semi-rural appeal, as the estate nears its final stages of development, those who are yet to secure their block of land in

this popular suburban community are faced with the prospect of missing out entirely, as land sales continue to sour and purchasers scramble to snap up one of the last few remaining blocks.

With a selection of family-friendly land available from just $215,000, Botanic Ridge Estate’s development manager, Joe Cassera, said now was the

chance to secure one of the very last larger-than-average blocks remaining in the south-east before it was too late.

“Purchasers are starting to notice that homes on other estates are being squeezed onto smaller and smaller blocks.

“The days where you could snap up a spacious block for the family home, double-car garage, workshop and garden - with room

to boot - maybe numbered but for a short time at Botanic Ridge this is still a reality.

“Botanic Ridge Estate was developed with a traditional village feel in mind, where families can build the home of their dreams set close to local amenities and still have room in the garden for a kick-around and a pool.

“With Botanic Ridge ranked

number one in the City of Casey for property price growth, time is running out for home buyers to secure a good investment at an affordable price in what is truly Casey’s most premium residential address,” he said.

For more information on Botanic Ridge Estate contact Heather in the sales office on 9785 9339 or head to http://www.botanicridge. com.au/

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.

GIVE US A HAND

Migrants enter new fields

By RUSSELL BENNETT GREATER Dandenong’s ever-expanding multicultural community has started looking outside the square for employment opportunities, with a number gaining valuable hands-on experience at a Gippsland cattle farm over recent weeks.

What began in 2008 as a determination from Vicki Jones to make her farms chemical-free has resulted in her own slice of a unique market and, now, an approach to farming that could revolutionise how the mainstream sector operates.

Aaron Mashano, the CEO of the Dandenong-based Leaders of Tomorrow Careers Training, met Vicki through a client of his.

The pair soon formed a working relationship through the agricultural work experience component of Leaders of Tomorrow.

“We were looking for more likeminded farmers who share our values,” Mr Mashano explained from Ms Jones’s Hallora property, Mountain View Organic Farms.

“When we started chatting I said the next block of my work was work experiences with the multicultural community because I think there’s a missing link. I used to be a farmer.

“I gave Vicki a call and out of 120 farmers I spoke to she was the one who said ‘come down and have a chat’.”

Part of the Leaders of Tomorrow mission is to help provide skills to people who are looking for a way into the workforce.

“There’re 50,000 more immigrants

Sherwin Baniqued, Vicki Jones, Aaron Mashano and Monipisei Lim formed a great team out at Mountain View Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Organic Farms recently. 128454 who are coming here who’re being granted work visas but they don’t have the skills or the experience, or the language-literacy barrier gets in the way,” Mr Mashano said.

“A lot of it, we feel and have probably experienced, is just the integration and assimilation component which is where I think even the bigger end of town organisations haven’t got together because they’re all trying to band

all these guys and relocate them but if they disconnect from communities it doesn’t work.”

Ms Jones said she had spoken to a farmer from Sale who said there were farmers ready to shut down simply because they couldn’t get any workers.

“That’s what’s stopping them,” she said.

“The guys from Rabobank were

saying to me that they had a big meeting and a guy said ‘the markets are there - why are you guys not producing milk?’ and the farmers replied ‘we just can’t get labour’.”

Mr Mashano said the initial target for the group was relief milking, adding “they get a chance to not over-commit into full-time employment.

“It’s permanent part-time if they can and that gets them off Centrelink

1157387-CB40-14

and gives them a taste of what they could do next.

“This is a pilot work experience project, but more like a taster.

“The team we have now has a very good dynamic - it’s a very good mix, not just culturally but also across gender lines.

“Their English skills are good enough for them to comprehend each other and they kind of know who’s good at what so we have specific teams.

“At the moment we’ve got people from Mauritius, Afghanistan, Cambodia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Zambia, Australia... it’s a mixed bag.

“Everyone speaks English and it’s workplace English.

“We really are very confident we’ve got a group of work-ready people in an eight-week turnaround.

“We’re not trying to put 100,000 people into employment in the workplace.

“We’ve got an employment agency we’ve been dealing with to get across that cultural bridge but the blessing with this is that we can actually see 10 people who get jobs.”

Mr Mashano said he was very passionate, adding: “We get involved and we’re hands on - we’re not trying to do this from a distance.”

Ms Jones was adamant that they’re onto a winner.

“We don’t know the word ‘can’t’,” she said defiantly.

“There’s no such thing.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Shops fill Myer's shoes

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG Plaza will unveil its $40 million post-Myer transformation in less than two weeks.

Myer announced last September that the struggling store represented less than 1 per cent of its total group sales and would close the following month.

It marked the end of a 40-year history, and retailers expressed concern that the departure would leave the centre without a drawcard.

But Plaza manager GPT Group has bounced back with a rejuvenated space and nine new retailers.

JB-Hi Home, Aldi, Daiso and Trade Secret will open their doors on Wednesday 15 October, starting four days of celebrations.

“We’re actually opening two weeks earlier than we thought,” GPT Group development manager Paul Neilsen said.

“It gives everyone that extra two weeks of trade before Christmas.”

Happy Africa grocer, a cafe and a custom-designed children’s playground are also part of the redevelopment that started on 1 November last year.

It created about 500 jobs throughout construction and almost 50 new long-term jobs.

“The majority of works for the first

GPT Group's Paul Neilsen and City of Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti in the new Aldi space. 128202 Pictures: GARY SISSONS three months was a lot of demolition works,” Mr Neilsen said.

“This was 40-year-old structure that Myer occupied.

“A lot of the costs associated you wouldn’t actually be able to see.

“It’s a full upgrade of the services.

We got a mechanical upgrade, includ-

ing the air-conditioning, fire services upgrade, etcetera.”

The fit-out includes timber slat features, three-dimensional wall tiles and new escalators.

Mayor Jim Memeti said retailers were looking forward to 15 October.

“I know the figures Myer were do-

ing here weren’t great,” he said.

“I think the new retailers will turn over more money than Myer did and will, hopefully, increase foot traffic in the plaza.”

Opening festivities will start with Cr Jim Memeti cutting a ribbon to officially open the precinct at 10am and

include free activities and giveaways.

Tumbarumba, Asanti Dance Group and the Royal Polynesian Dance Group will perform, and Daiso will host a Manga artist who’ll draw free selfies.

Daiso Industries Australia national marketing manager Natasha Lyubic said the Dandenong store was the Japanese company’s sixth in Victoria.

She said every item in store was priced at $2.80, but Daiso wasn’t a typical discount retailer.

“It really has to be experienced,” she said.

“A regular shopping trip becomes a treasure hunt.

“We sell stationery, personal care, beauty, crockery, toys, travel accessories...

“There are things you wouldn’t realise you needed.”

The Dandenong store is Australianowned discount fashion retailer Trade Secret’s fifth and will stock big brand items.

JB is relocating from its existing location on Cleeland Street, Dandenong, and expanding to include whitegoods and other home wares.

A 3800 square metre space on Level 4 is still available, as is a 130 square metre spot downstairs.

Visit www.dandenongplaza.com.au for a full program of the opening event.

Tough tag goes a long way

By CASEY NEILL MOST shoppers give little thought to the security tag removed from their clothing purchase and thrown into a box under a Myer checkout desk.

But at Wallara Industries, they’re cause for celebration.

The Keysborough factory provides work for adults of different abilities, and they’ve sorted and reassembled about 96,000 tags each week for more than four years.

Most then travel to China, Hong Kong and all over the Asia-Pacific region, where Myer product manufacturers fix the tag on a new product and send them to Australia.

On Wednesday 24 September, workers recycled their 20 millionth tag.

Checkpoint Systems merchandise availability solutions vice president Mark Gentle joined the team to celebrate.

The global leader joined with Myer to improve merchandise protection including the source tagging of merchandise, reducing Myer’s in-store theft.

Mr Gentle and Myer store operations general manager Wendy Marshall acknowledged the contribution Wallara Industries has played to the multi-national program.

“It’s a win-win situation,” Wallara Industries general manager Garry Baker said.

“We are able to provide meaningful, supported employment to people with different abilities and Myer gets the quality results they expect, with the bonus of knowing they are giving back to the community.”

Wallara Industries is a division of Wallara Australia - a Dandenong-based not-for-profit support service for adults with different abilities. Visit www.wallara.com.au for more infor- Proud Wallara Industries workers Alan and Elizabeth with Myer security tags. 127490 mation.

Training values that reach out to others CHISHOLM is Victoria’s Large Training Provider of the Year.

The Dandenong-based institute received the honour at the 60th annual Victorian Training Awards on 26 September.

CEO Maria Peters said Chisholm was a proud public Tafe provider and that last year was “the best year in our history”.

“This award recognises the quality of our training, our clear strategy, the commitment of our people that lead to strong operational results,” she said.

Ms Peters said last year Chisholm aggressively continued a transformation to ensure it was strong and sustainable, and played a key role in industry and community success.

“This award reflects the courage, commitment and work of our staff through a period of significant change,” she said.

“They have successfully balanced remaining true to our core values, and delivering quality educational products, with the need to be resilient, adaptive, to embrace commercial imperatives.

“Our students succeeded, our partnerships grew locally to internationally, our relationships with industry strengthened and we remained embedded and committed to our region.”

Ms Peters said a student-centred approach set Chisholm apart.

“From the time they inquire to enrol with us to when they graduate,” she said.

Chisholm is the largest vocational training provider in Victoria’s south-east, covers senior secondary school programs through to customised workplace training projects and offers qualifications from certificates to higher education degrees.

Chisholm in Dandenong provides training to support local industry.

Stingrays test their mettle

By JARROD POTTER THEY have done everything in their power to get their names called and now the fate of Dandenong’s TAC Cup footballers rests solely with the recruiters.

Four Stingrays gave their all in the final official showcase of developing talent at the AFL National Combine this week - a proving ground for the country’s best prospects ahead of the AFL National Draft on 27 November.

Utility Tom Lamb, small forward/ midfielder Bailey Dale and Stingrays’ co-captains Jack Lonie and Daniel Capiron were invited to the week-long AFL National Draft Combine to test

their mettle against Australia’s risingstar footballers.

Their efforts impressed Dandenong coach Craig Black who thought the Stingrays’ long finals’ run was a benefit to keeping the trialling athletes fit and firing ahead of the combine.

“I thought all our kids set PBs in their beep tests and their three kilometres - so that was a really good effort I thought, especially because we went so deep into the finals,” Black said.

“They only had two weeks off while some might not have played for a month as we were still playing footy - so it’s a credit to the kids for their fitness that has come through at the end.”

Lamb showed elite endurance to

Jack Lonie, pictured in Dandenong’s upset final’s win over Geelong, excelled in the agility test at the AFL Picture: JARROD POTTER National Combine this week. 126943 finish the three-kilometre run in 9.45 minutes as only one of five players to break the 10-minute mark at the National Combine and also starred during the week with a 15.5 beep test putting him fourth overall.

“I think that was one of his strengths,” Black said.

“Can run all day for a bloke of his size… a 15.5 beep test and then backed up with a great three kilometre time on the final day was really, really pleasing for him.”

Dale showed off how he booted 14 goals as a crumbing forward/wing-

man specialist this TAC Cup year with 24/30 on the goal kicking test to rank as an elite kick. Jack Lonie’s nimble work under the packs for the Stingrays was highlighted with a 8.37 second run in the agility test - placing him top-10 in the test this year, while also placing highly in the three kilometre run with a 10.20 minute finish. Capiron finished the three kilometre in 10.47 minutes.

Testing in Saturday’s state combine were tall forward Aaron Wilson and former Stingray - now Frankston Dolphin - Nick Newman.

Black believes the aforementioned

Stingrays as well as Mitch White and Kyle Gray stand a chance of having their name called out in the National or Rookie Drafts, but admits it is always a coin toss this time of year to predict what the clubs are after.

“I think for a lot of the clubs now the next week will be important - AFL Trade Week,” Black said.

“Once clubs know what their picks are they’ll get a bit of a feel on what players they’re after.”

The AFL National Draft will be at the Gold Coast Convention Centre, 27 November.

Just tick box one! It’s official

By JASON ADAMS

Schorching the field, Just Ducal was just too good in his Grade-5 heat at Picture: SUPPLIED Sandown on Thursday evening. 128477

TRAINED by Jon Roberts and owned by his wife Jenny, Just Ducal claimed his first city win in a Grade-5 heat at Sandown Park last Thursday night.

Having only began moderately from box one, Just Ducal was mid pack shortly after box rise before holding position to settle second - first time past the post. Given the strength of Just Ducal the race looked all but over. That proved to be the case, Just Ducal overtook the leader with ease to win by six lengths in a smart time of 42.03.

His trainer Jon Roberts was pleased with the run.

“He seems to hold a consistent pace throughout his races - it always puts him right in the mix” Roberts has owned, trained

and bred greyhounds for 40 years, having started work within the industry at the age of 18.

“I have been training greyhounds for about 40 years - I was building kennels as an 18-year-old, then had a stint in the army before I started training greyhounds,” said Roberts.

Just Ducal has won his last three races from box one and will get every chance to snare the $12,000 first prize in this week’s final.

“They’ve told me that he’s drawn box one - I can’t complain with that it’s definitely a lot better than being out in box five, six, seven or eight.”

The $17,250 final will be run this Thursday night at Sandown Park, along with Preludes for the $600,000 Group 1 TAB Melbourne Cup.

THE votes are in and confirmed… the newest Victorian Premier Cricket merger.

Hawthorn-Monash University Cricket Club voted unanimously to merge the Hawks with Dandenong ahead of the 2015/16 Victorian Premier Cricket season to form the Dandenong-Hawthorn Cricket Club.

With Monash University unable to provide space for the cricket club beyond this season, Hawthorn-Monash University decided a merger in the south-east suburbs was the best move for the club and chose to align with Dandenong Cricket Club.

Both clubs voted unanimously for the merger, which will see DandenongHawthorn Cricket Club based at Shepley Oval.

Dandenong had its first hit-out of the season on Saturday, downed by seven wickets as Essendon ran through the Panthers batting.

Caulfield opens Spring Carnival

The new team to guide St John’s OC Football Club. From left; Anthony Brannan, Matt Sofoulis, Michael Hangar, Ben McGee, Adam Picture: JARROD POTTER Paterson, Aaron Abela, Ben Pickering and Chris Horbury. 128478

JOC’s house in order

By JARROD POTTER OLD boys, new stars and familiar faces alike have gathered to make St John’s OC Football Club a VAFA powerhouse.

St John’s has the jump on the competition as it gets its affairs in order quickly ahead of the 2015 Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) Division-2 season.

Returning to Thomas Carroll Reserve in 2015 will be a 10-year premiership reunion of sorts as St John’s has brought back 2005 premiership-coach Ben McGee to take the reins of the senior side from out-

going coach Steve Ware.

The JOCs also enlisted a number of former players to guide the club back up the ranks and hopefully into the Premier competitions.

With the club’s 25th season less than a year away, president Adam Paterson wants St John’s to star in their silver anniversary and start the gradual rise up the ranks from Division 2.

“I think we’re ahead of the game in terms of getting prepared for next year,” Paterson said.

“We’ve been working on the coaching panel since the season

ended and Chris Horbury has put a lot of work into that.”

It starts at the grassroots level for the JOCs, as the club will also restart its under-18 team and has established a pathway program with South East Juniors’ team Fountain Gate to develop the next generation of local footballers.

“We’re excited about the under18s,” Paterson said.

“To have a network from Fountain Gate through to under-18s and then into senior footy, we’ve got a recruiting ground year after year and we’re trying to build a sustainable model to make recruiting a bit

easier rather than working overtime.

“We want to have that transition from junior footy to senior footy here at the club for a long time to come.”

Coaching the reserves will be Matt Soufoulis while the under-18s will be the domain of premiership captain Ben Pickering.

The club is in the process of recruiting new players and looking for main sponsors. For more information, email the club at info@stjohnsocfc.com.au.

For more on St John’s appointment of Ben McGee, grab a copy of next week’s Dandenong Journal.

The Lions’ den swelling with pride

By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG Lions will extend its pride to the junior ranks with the announcement of an under-13 all-female team in the Dandenong District Cricket Association.

The Dandenong-Casey Young Lions’ cricket team, an initiative between Victorian Premier Cricket club Casey-South Melbourne and VWCA 10-time premiers Dandenong Lions Women’s Cricket Club, will allow girls up to 15-years-ofage to play in the newly formed team.

Dandenong Lions WCC club secretary and all-rounder Emma Gallagher said the club was keen to promote the sport throughout the age groups as part of their regional responsibility.

“We have been interested for a number of years of creating a team to nurture the junior participation in the area,” Gallagher said.

“We see it as our responsibility as a premier club in the region to develop cricket in Dandenong and Casey.”

Gallagher encouraged girls whether or not they have played cricket before - from Dandenong, Casey and surrounding areas that are interested in playing, to get down and become a Lion.

“It’s a fantastic game and Crick-

Perhaps the next Sarah Elliott - Australian Test cricket star - will be unearthed by Dandenong Lions and Casey-South Melbourne’s junior Lions under-13 girls team, set to play their first match this Picture: JARROD POTTER month in the DDCA junior competition. 112303 et Australia has a real focus on improving participation… the opportunities are getting greater and greater every year,” Gallagher said.

“It’s a great sport to get into for the opportunity and the friendships along the way.”

The DDCA allows girls to play two years above age groups - with 15-year-olds permitted to play in the under-13 team.

The club hopes to play home games in the City of Casey area, but were awaiting final confirma-

tion on the new home ground for the junior Lions with the season set to start in mid-October.

MELBOURNE becomes the focus of world racing when this Saturday (11 October) marks the opening of the 2014 Crown Golden Ale Caulfield Cup Carnival which heralds the greatest thoroughbred racing festival in the world.

The Victorian Spring Racing Carnival covers nine consecutive weekends of elite Group-1 racing in Melbourne starting at Caulfield on 28 September and concluding at Ballarat on 22 November.

As the interest of international owners and trainers builds so does the number of horses coming for the spring. Originally it was just for the ‘big three’ events but now they are contesting lesser events and the major sprints.

After several years of absence the Japanese are back this spring with four horses arriving on 20 September including top Crown Golden Ale Caulfield Cup and Emirate Melbourne Cup fancies Admire Rakti and Bande along with two companions for other events.

On 27 September a contingent of 19 highclass northern hemisphere horses landed at Tullamarine, including seven destined for Australian stables.

Heading the visitors was the Ed Dunloptrained Red Cadeaux. Here for his fourth Melbourne Cup challenge he has become a sentimental favourite with the locals. He was second to Dunaden in 2011 and Fiorente last November, and he ran eighth behind Green Moon in 2012. A renowned traveller he has raced 46 times and in eight different countries.

Also on the flight was Caulfield Cup runnerup, Dandino, one of four invaders for trainer Marco Botti.

A third contingent is due to land on 11 October, including those from the powerful Godolphin stable.

Caulfield on Saturday will feature four Group 1s, two Group 2s and two Group 3s plus two Listed events, a real feast of racing.

Heading the meeting is the 134th running of the Group 1 $1,008,000 BECK Caulfield Guineas (1600 metres). Traditionally the BECK Caulfield Guineas, first run in 1881, is one of the most exciting events of the spring as it brings together the nation’s best three-year-olds over a competitive distance. Many trainers consider it the nation’s major event for three-year-olds and victory ensures a big future as a stallion. Whilst a competitive event Rich Enuff, trained at Cranbourne by Ken Keys, has won all three starts this campaign and could not have been more impressive when he raced away to win the Beck Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400 metres) at Caulfield on 28 September. Interestingly 10 of the last 14 Beck Caulfield Guineas winners have come from that event.

“Breathtaking,” jockey Michael Rodd said after the race, “It’s scary what he can do”.

Looks Like The Cat ran a strong second and will be the main challenger while Shooting To Win - successful in the Stan Fox Stakes at Rosehill 27 September - will be right there.

The Group 1 $502,000 Schweppes Thousand Guineas (1600 metres) has been switched from the middle Wednesday to Caulfield Guineas Day and will add greatly to the meeting.

Afleet Esprit looked good winning the Prelude on 28 September and Amicus impressed when she finished on strongly.

In a day of great racing on Saturday there is also the $402,000 Group-1 Cathay Pacific Caulfield Stakes (2000 metres) and the $402,000 David Jones NBCF Toorak Handicap (1600 metres).

Sportingbet Sandown Guineas Day will be held at Sportingbet Park, Sandown on Saturday, 15 November.

VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET

Bloods stain the crease

A valuable innings from Nanopoulos gave Dandenong something to defend in its one-day loss to Essendon. 128480 Picture: JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER Springvale Sth v Buckley Ridges BRUSHING off a top-order collapse, Springvale South (8/279cc) pushed through to set a troubling tally for Buckley Ridges to chase.

The Ridges - still smarting after their ejection from last year’s finals’ series - came out breathing fire. The Bloods struggled to stay at the crease as Lukas Hoogenboom (1/31), and recently returned Premier cricketer Hussain Ali (1/37) made the early going difficult at Harold Road.

Buckley Ridges’ man-mountain Dan Haasbroek (3/44) took a pair of decisive wickets to leave Springvale South 4/25. This brought captain Craig Slocombe (99) to the crease alongside dour top-order batsman Steve Masterson (51). Seeing off the rampaging quicks, Slocombe and Masterson were able to cash in

when the spinners arrived taking the Bloods off the drip. Slocombe took particular pleasure belting Matt Goodwright (0/47) over his head and into local front gardens as he belted nine boundaries and six sixes to rocket along to 99 before he was undone by Wes Nicholas (2/76). It would have been Slocombe’s third century in five innings had he not been held on by Jayson Hobbs to halt him one short.

With the Masterson-Slocombe stand accruing 133, it was a case of swapping one belter for another as Jarryd Armitage (70) strolled to the crease with one thing in mind.

Armitage flogged five each of fours and sixes to keep the headache up for Buckley Ridges. Adding 65 for the sixth wicket, after Masterson departed following a gutsy 192-ball innings, Armitage continued his walloping with Andrew Sharp (22) also getting among the boundaries.

The Ridges will need 280 for victory next week.

Parkfield v Coomoora THOSE who signed off Parkfield (227) might want to look at the scorecard as the Bears proved there’s plenty of muscle left in the reigning premiers.

The gulf between last season’s first and 11th teams was on display at Coomoora Road. Matt Aslett (61) and David Ford (50 not out) mustered their mightiest efforts to push the total into the double-century region with Travis D’Souza (21) and the “will-he, won’t he retire” Tony Payne (31) smashing out crucial digs. Featuring a new-look bowling attack, The Kangaroos had serviceable efforts from Chris Konings (2/15), Jessie Smyth and captain Rob Johnston (2/78).

Nth Dandenong v Hallam Kalora Pk HALLAM Kalora Park (9/214cc)

similarly suffered early on as North Dandenong ran through the head of the Hawks. In typical Hallam Kalora Park fashion 4/13 was rescued by a Booth.

Lee Booth (58) guided the renaissance alongside youngster Robert Parker (59) to add 77 for the fifth scalp. Parker battled on once Booth was sent back to the Lois Twohig Reserve sheds, finding a rock-solid partner in Jagveer Hayer (39). Parker raised the bat for his first Turf 1 half-ton before falling soon after.

Hayer carried on to push the tally to 9/214 at stumps.

Other Fixtures PLAY was cancelled in two fixtures as Arch Brown Reserve and Casey Fields were not ready for play ahead of the season opener.

Cranbourne/Dandenong West and Berwick/Lyndale clashes will be played as one-dayers next week.

VICTORIAN SUB-DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION SOUTH EAST 1ST XI - Round 1, Day One

Bulls finding their feet

By JARROD POTTER

Sanjeewa de Silva flayed 44 for Noble Park on day one of the Picture: JARROD POTTER new Sub-District season. 128482

GOOD but not great would be the verdict of Noble Park’s (188) first outing in its Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association (VSDCA) premiership defence.

Squaring off against Malvern in picturesque scenes at Pat Wright Senior Oval, Noble Park started sluggishly as new recruit Andrew O’Meara (0) had a debut worth forgetting as he played around a straightener from Tim Arbon. The best partnership of the day would form next as Sanjeewa de Silva (44) and Marasinghe Perera (24) combined to add 62 for the second wicket.

De Silva was the best with the blade as he deposited a couple of straight slogs past the scoreboard end fence. Both were dismissed in rapid succession by Nick Gill, leaving the rest of the order to generally fail to thrive.

From there the effort was aver-

age as players set themselves before getting out in or around the 20s en masse.

Newly appointed captain Paul Hill (16) - who switched from DDCA Turf 1 club Coomoora in the off-season, Mevan Fernando (24), Jake Richardson (23) and Dirk Vanderger (20) had a chance to push on with the tally, but failed to advance towards the half-century or beyond that was up for grabs in stellar conditions at Moodemere Street.

The Bulls were curtailed by Malvern trio Tim Arbon (4/53), Michael Jones (3/26) and Nick Gill (3/40) to leave the Noble Park total at 188 from 79.3 overs.

With the bowling attack boosted by the return of Premier bowler Ash Perera, it is however a defendable target.

Resumption of play is Saturday at 1pm.

By JARROD POTTER A DIABOLICAL start to the year wasn’t the season opener Dandenong (147) would have wanted following a lacklustre batting effort against Essendon (3/148) The only thing Dandenong excelled at all day was the coin toss, electing to bat first on a flat track made for scoring at Shepley Oval.

The initial partnership of Tom Donnell (7) and Brett Forsyth (24) earned slow but steady runs before the first collapse happened. Donnell, Forsyth, Peter Sweeney (5) all succumbed rapidly to leave the Panthers 3/42.

The middle order was left to carry on and produce a defendable total as new recruit David Alleyne (19), Cameron Forsyth (22) and James Pattinson (16) all got their eye in but couldn’t carry on with the task.

One Pattinson replaced another as Darren departed to Doveton in the DDCA, making a swashbuckling 125 on debut, while the return of James to the side was a significant boost to their batting stocks.

James Nanopoulos (32 and 0/37) showed why he’s one of the better all-rounders in the competition as he created the stability needed from lower down the order. Coming in at seven, Nanopoulos batted with the tail to push the Panthers to 147 with five balls remaining in their innings.

Wickets would come sporadically for Dandenong, but not enough to put the kibosh on Essendon. The visitors cantered to the target in the 21st over as A. Shellie (67) and captain Aaron Ayre (67 not out) flayed the bat at anything the Panthers could muster.

Best of the bowlers was Justin Butterfield (1/27) while Tom Donnell’s (1/7) part-time spin accrued a wicket.

Dandenong will head to Carlton for a one-dayer on Saturday.

Premium in all but price THE Sportage continues to star in the Kia cast on the Australian automotive stage with an enhanced range keeping this compact sport utility vehicle in the market spotlight.

The South Korean manufacturer recently introduced upgrades across the European-sourced range, including engine and gearbox improvements and a value-for-money new Si Premium model.

Available in two-wheel and allwheel drive versions, the Si Premium stands at the head of the 2WD range sporting a standard six-speed automatic transmission, 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamps, roof rails, reversing camera, leather and cloth trim seats, exterior mirror mounted indicators, LED daytime running lights and driver lumbar support.

On the market at $29,990, plus on-road costs, the Kia Sportage Si Premium 2.0 GDi 2WD automatic was given a workout in a range of on-road situations in south-east Queensland.

The designer’s pen has been at work on reshaping the already up-to-date looks of the existing Sportage.

Among the changes are a new front grille, new LED rear lamp clusters, a revised range of alloy wheels with a choice of 16, 17 or 18-inch diameter and a shark-fin roof antenna.

The passenger cabin has been

The Sportage Si Premium adds a further dimension to the modern and versatile Kia compact SUV range. enhanced with greater use of softtouch materials across the dashboard and the upper door panels, a new instrument cluster with a 4.2inch LCD display screen and powered driver’s seat.

Across the petrol range the new Sportage benefits from an upgrade to the smooth and efficient 2.0-litre direct-injection petrol powerplant, the Si Premium making use of a sixspeed automatic transmission driving through the front wheels.

Travellers can stay connected with standard Bluetooth with phone and media streaming and a trip computer.

Further convenience is offered by keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers and cruise control.

Safety is front and centre across the range, with six airbags, stability control with traction control, antilock brakes, electronic brake force distribution and brake assist on hand

to keep things on an even keel.

Hill-start assist and downhill brake control are also standard, along with disc brakes all round and active front head restraints. Projector headlamps have a cornering function.

Much attention has been paid to reduction in noise, vibration and harshness with a new soundproof windscreen, incorporating a film between the glass laminations, while improvements to the front subframe, drivetrain and transmission mountings minimise vibration.

It was a dark and stormy night, the Sportage was punting along a winding Gold Coast Hinterland road when a big black dog loomed in the headlights.

Responsive steering and efficient anti-skid braking had the vehicle rounding the bewildered hound with room to spare.

The reverse could have been the

result if the car had been going, well, in reverse.

The reversing camera lacked any sort of useful definition behind the SUV in the dark on the tiny mirrormounted screen.

When taking off on a wet slope there was a spot of wheelspin between the hill-start assist letting go and traction control cutting in - minor bleats in generally competent behaviour.

The Kia Sportage Si Premium 2.0 GDi 2WD automatic gives the owner the comfort and convenience of a small SUV without the worry of clocking up the considerable costs of all-wheel drive fuel consumption.

Customers also share in the Kia five-year unlimited kilometre warrant with capped price servicing over the same period.

Model range Sportage Si 2.0 GDi 2WD: $25,990 (manual), $28,190 (automatic); Sportage Si Premium 2.0 GDi 2WD: $29,990 (automatic); Sportage SLi 2.0 GDi AWD: $34,790 (automatic); Sportage SLi 2.0 CRDi AWD; $37,790 (automatic); Sportage Platinum 2.0 GDi AWD: $38,390 (automatic); Sportage Platinum 2.0 CRDi AWD; $41,390 (automatic).
