■ Cheap alcohol blamed for violence after body found...

Nightmare park

AVOID DANDENONG PARK … NEVER SLEEP OUT IN THE OPEN… Don Cameron

der bushes along Dandenong Creek or caught a train out to Pakenham and camped in paddocks.

“They don’t want to be exposed,” he said.

“We know some people who might sleep during the day, so at night time you can wander into a venue that’s open.”

Mr Cameron said many violent incidents went unreported because the victims had police records or didn’t

want to “dob in” their attacker and risk reprisals.

He said restricting the growing number of liquor outlets nearby would help to quell the violence because increased competition pushed down prices.

“They can get a cask of wine for $4.

That’s a huge amount of alcohol,” Mr Cameron said.

“They can get very, very drunk.

“Even at Dandenong Railway Sta-

tion there’s a bottle shop there. They get their alcohol and go down to Dandenong Park or to the Plaza.”

City of Greater Dandenong councillor Matthew Kirwan said he and other councillors agreed that there were too many liquor outlets in Dandenong.

“Particularly in easy reach of public transport,” he said.

“We’ve got so many outlets now that most of our residents can easily walk to one.

“Unfortunately we’re constrained

by State Government policies at the moment. We can’t directly reduce the number of outlets.”

Cr Kirwan said Greater Dandenong was working with a consortium of councils in the south east on a research study to mount a case for more powers to reduce the number of outlets.

NEVER sleep in Dandenong Park.

A Dandenong welfare worker issued the warning after an off-duty Protective Services Officer found a body while walking his dog through the park about 4.30am on 19 November.

The 43-year-old homeless man, previously of Narre Warren, had suffered injuries to his upper body.

Homicide Squad detectives said the death was suspicious.

The victim had eaten his last hot meal at Cornerstone Contact Centre in central Dandenong just hours earlier.

“He had a backpack bed, so there’s a fair chance I gave it to him,” co-ordinator Don Cameron said.

“Apparently he was at Cornerstone on Tuesday night for a meal. I’m not sure what happened from there.”

Mr Cameron showed detectives photographs of his regulars to help with the identification process.

“He’s somebody’s son,” he said.

“We’re sad about that happening on our streets.”

The death didn’t surprise Mr Cameron.

“Dandenong Park has a reputation of where a lot of people who drink a lot go,” he said.

“I know one fellow who said he was threatened by people there who won’t go anywhere near the area.

“Occasionally people come through town, sleeping rough. They don’t know the safer areas of Dandenong.

“Avoid Dandenong Park. Never sleep out in the open.”

Cornerstone, a faith mission that provides welfare assistance, provides backpack beds or finds accommodation for people sleeping rough.

Mr Cameron said many slept un-

GREATER Dandenong council’s state election wishlist has received endorsement from local Greens candidates, a vague response from Labor and no reply from the Liberal Party.

The council had focused its campaign on four main issues – the closure of Lyndhurst toxic waste dump, a reduction of poker machines in the council area, a Keysborough South bus route and $350,000 to support local manufacturers affected by the automotive industry shutdown.

Mayor and ALP member Sean O’Reilly said the council would have “liked more formal commitments”.

“Nonetheless we’ll be following up with whatever party forms government after the election.

“We understand in the heat of an election campaign that some issues can be put to the side.”

Responses from the candidates were published on the council’s website last week.

Greens candidates pledged to push for the tip’s closure within four years and for a parliamentary investigation into the issue.

They supported the bus route, reducing poker machines and gave “in principle” support to the manufacturing support program.

Keysborough MP and ALP gaming spokesman Martin Pakula said he’d discuss pokies measures with the multi-council coalition Enough Pokies after the election.

He said the ALP would consult with the manufacturing sector after the election and set up a panel to look at statewide manufacturing issues.

PROMISES Liberals: Tougher legal measures such as mandatory drug tests for ice users on community correction orders.

LEVEL CROSSINGS: Both parties have promised to remove three level crossings in Noble Park.

ALP also pledged to remove crossings at Abbotts Road, Dandenong South, and Thompsons Road, Lyndhurst.

Commission into family violence. $22m package, including $2.5m for support such as crisis accomodation and transport.

Coalition: $150m family violence package, including unspecified number of extra refuges for women and children.

ICE ALP: Ice Action taskforce in first 100 days, plus $15m for drug/ booze buses.

JOBS Liberals: Boost train and tram stock order with Bombardier.

VLocity rail cars order increase from 43 to 67 and E-class trams from 50 to 75.

ALP: Will buy 30 trains and 20 VLocity carriages – open to bidding from local companies such as Bombardier.

FAMILY VIOLENCE ALP: Establish a Royal

Dandenong ALP candidate Gabrielle Williams told the Journal her party had an “holistic” approach, including a plan for more jobs and TAFE funding.

Labor wanted to “increase and expand” bus services though it didn’t commit to the Keysborough South bus route.

Mr Pakula told the Journal last week that he would push for that bus service.

The ALP asked the council for a “formal briefing note” on its Lyndhurst landfill concerns.

“Labor is committed to work to resolve the issue after the election,” it stated.

When asked why she hadn’t responded, Keysborough Liberal candidate Adrianne Fleming said: “I’ve got a lot of emails to respond to. I’ve got other things to do.”

She asked the Journal to email the wishlist items to her but she didn’t respond by deadline.

Dandenong candidate Joanna Palatsides did not repond by deadline.

STATE ELECTION

Liberal Gandhi plan

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A COALITION promise to make Dandenong’s Little India the preeminent Indian precinct in Melbourne has divided traders.

Multicultural Affairs Minister Matthew Guy, exploiting the ALP’s failure to guarantee Little India’s future, made the promise before a gathering at India Museum in Foster Street on Wednesday.

He pledged up to “half a million” dollars – later revised down to $50,000 in a statement - towards moving the museum to a nearby masonic lodge as well as supporting a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Settler’s Square and boosting marketing of the embattled precinct.

He told the Journal the ALP was “crazy” to consider locating a major Indian precinct elsewhere.

“Why would you move a precinct that’s gone through difficult times because the Labor Party compulsorily acquired the shops?

“They would now scrap it. It needs support not abolition.”

He told the gathering his government had put in “quite a lot of effort and money” to work with the council to “find a way forward to make this precinct work”.

The pledge was endorsed by Foster Street Traders’ Association member Steve Khan but drew sharp criticism from association spokeswoman Kaushaliya Vaghela.

She claimed the project would benefit India Museum – backed by former Liberal candidate Vasan Srinivasan – more than the precinct’s traders.

“Why didn’t they invite the traders (association)? Because this isn’t about Little India. They want to build another musuem for Vasan.”

Mr Srinivasan said his mission was not political, citing his work with the Brumby ALP government to brand the area Little India in 2006.

“My community was my number one,” he said.

However, he conceded he felt “uneasy” about Labor’s current stance on the precinct.

He said the new musuem site, which would house benefactor Dinesh Parekh’s vast art, stamp and ancient coin collection as well as a borrowing library, would draw interest from schools and bus tours.

“There’s nothing like this outside of India. Together with the Mahatma Gandhi statue, it will bring people here and strengthen Little India.

“Some of the traders are too negative – I’m not running a shop

T-shirt gang rob man at gunpoint A MAN was threatened with a gun as he struggled to break free during a robbery in Springvale.

The 25-year-old victim had left Springvale Railway Station and was on Springvale Road near Mary Street on his way home about 12.15am on 17 November.

Four men with their faces covered with Tshirts approached and grabbed the victim and demanded his phone and wallet.

As the victim struggled to get free one of his attackers pulled out a small handgun and threatened him with it.

He then handed over his phone and about $210 cash and the group left the scene in a black Honda Civic Police said the vehicle had been stolen.

Anyone with information is urged to phone Dandenong Embona Taskforce on 8558 8684 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Employment centre vow

Matthew Guy meets trader Neeta Shah during his Little India visit last week. 131119 in Little India. I’ve got no personal interest.”

Dandenong Liberal candidate Joanna Palatsides told last week’s gathering that Dandenong needed to be “brought onto the map”.

She said the project would be a “start” for the economic stimulus needed.

ALP candidate Gabrielle Williams said her party viewed Little India as a “compelling choice – and one I will push hard for”.

She questioned the timing of Mr Guy’s intervention.

“Traders feel he hasn’t been dealing with them and been nonresponsive to their concerns.”

THE Liberal Party has pledged to build an employment and training centre in Dandenong if it wins Saturday’s state election.

The Work and Learning Centre is one of three promised by the government at a cost of $3.15 million.

It will host clients who are long-term unemployed, have a disability, suffer mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse or are new arrivals to Australia.

Dandenong Liberal candidate Joanna Palatsides said it would provide career guidance, job-search support and access to vocational and education training.

The centre will be supported by charitable organisation Brotherhood of St Laurence.

According to the government, five previously built centres have provided 900 people with employment and placed more than 2000 into training.

Raising voices against alcohol violence THE Australasian College for Emergency Medicine this month added its ‘loud’ voice to the Australian Medical Association and scores of other groups including Dalgarno Institute to say ‘enough is enough’ on booze and violence on our streets and in our culture!

While these appalling and increasingly aggressive forms of violence fuelled by alcohol are happening in our public spaces, it is what happens behind closed doors that is of growing concern.

Domestic violence is a double tragedy.

Not only is harm being done to a person, more disturbingly

it’s being carried out in what should be the safest place in the community - the family home.

You know a society is in real trouble when women and children, particularly, are suffering horrendous harms because of alcohol fuelled violence in the home.

A recent Australian study by the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education revealed there were more than 14,000 family incidents involving alcohol in 2012-’13 and stated: “Alcohol involvement in family incidents increased by 85 per cent over 10 years.”

Alcohol is a feature in a high proportion of sexual assaults as

COMMUNITY

SHANE VARCOE DIRECTOR OF THE DALGARNO INSTITUTE

well. Alcohol is said to be used as a tool by perpetrators to increase victim vulnerability and enhance their own confidence and as an excuse to reduce culpability and accountability”.

There are clear reasons for this.

1) Advertising: Booze culture is promoted aggressively

in sport and unfettered in social media as not only normal but as an entitlement.

What can we do? Shut down advertising and you’ll see a change and a big one at that.

2) ‘Booze Barns’: There are way too many liquor licences in general but particularly way too many ‘packaged liquor’ outlets.

In Victoria, it has been shown that alcohol outlet density was associated significantly with rates of domestic violence.

What can we do? Halve the number of these places and change state planning laws to remove the loopholes and empower local governments and their ratepayers to stop the issuing of more planning permits for these ‘reservoirs of grog’.

3) Self-medication: Dr Paul Williams of Griffith University has written that Aussies are, basically, self-medicating.

“It’s the Australian way to turn to alcohol in times of stress. And for the two million

‘at risk’ drinkers in Australia it is indeed the preferred method of stress management.”

Aren’t we the ‘lucky country’?

Violence often ensues when this ‘stress’ meets alcohol and the lid is lifted on the negative emotions around personal frustrations, while moral decency and personal responsibility are diminished.

Regardless of the causes and symptoms, the time to act for change is now!

Let us, as a community, do what we can do now to work toward a healthier, more caring and safer community for all families.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 25 November 1914 The War A letter from Private W. Holford The following extracts are from a letter written by Private George Holford to his mother, who resides at Springvale. Previous to enlisting Private Holford was on the staff of the South Bourke and Mornington Journal, the publication that later became the Journal.

“Just a few lines to say we arrived here a couple of days ago, and we are all in the best of health.

We are only about three or four miles away from Cairo.

It is fairly warm over here, and plenty of sand, too; it is just about as warm as a hot summer’s day in Victoria.

We disembarked at Suez, and had a train journey of 160 miles to here, and we did see some fine scenery on the way too.

From about 10 miles out of Suez right up to Cairo itself, it is nothing but crops of cotton, Egyptian maize, tomatoes, fruit, and dozens of other kinds of crops that we didn’t know the name of, and there were big date palms, too, with the dates just about ripe on them.

My word it did make our mouth water, I can tell you. It is all done by irrigation.

They were nearly all picking the cotton when we came through. Sometimes we saw camels with great packs of cotton, carting it to the railway stations.

Some of the gardens we saw were better than anything you could see in Australia.

We went into Cairo yesterday. It was Saturday, and we had a half holiday, and before we had got a quarter of a mile out of the camp the kids were round us wanting to clean our boots, and they would fol-

low us till they were satisfied. And when we got into Cairo there were donkey boys wanting us to ride their donkeys and some others wanting to sell us “brummy” rings. They sell anything here, even the water.”

50 years ago 25 November 1964 Police surprise two prowlers Two 16-year-old boys who had been prowling around in an unattended house in Sleeth St, Dandenong, on Monday, were just about to leave when their way was barred by a detective and a senior constable.

An alert and quick thinking housewife, who lives in Sleeth Street, heard noises in the house next door, she knew the occupants were at work and she telephoned the police.

The two boys, who opened the front door from the inside, practically walked into their arms.

They told the police that they were students at Richmond Technical School.

He said the road tolls were a “triple

Mr Micallef said if the minimum toll was $2 each way, commuters would pay $20 a week to travel to the city.

Burnt-out car body

Shame in sight

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A SPRINGVALE disability advocate has named and shamed another restaurant that allegedly refused him entry because he had a guide dog.

Twanny Farrugia launched a multi-pronged campaign against Nam Loong restaurant in Melbourne’s CBD, claiming he was told by a staff member to leave the building at lunchtime on 16 November.

He said last week the staff member ignored his attempts to explain his dog was legally permitted in the restaurant and yelled at him.

It is illegal to refuse entry to a person with an assistance dog - one trained to help a person with a disability – or to treat them unfavorably.

In response, Mr Farrugia and friends took to social media and contacted a host of media outlets, including visiting the restaurant with a TV news crew.

“This time the woman was as nice as pie.

“Let me in, sat me at a table and sugar would have melted in her mouth,” he said.

He said he’d also launched an action with the Victorian Equal Opportunity Commission, seeking the restaurant to make a $1000 donation to Guide Dogs Victoria, have its staff trained by GDV and a personal apology made to him.

Last year, Mr Farrugia

“These dogs are very well trained. Once in the restaurant, no-one know they are there.”

He said there was “al-

successfully sought another action for similar treatment by a Clayton restaurant.

“My purpose is when people talk about social inclusion that means everybody in the community.”

Greg Madson, president of Blind Citizens Australia, said he personally still had

ways the need for more education” of the issue but restaurants should be aware.

“Most people know the rules but you get people who are belligerent.

“The only course of action is to take out a Disability Discrimination Act claim – just to point out this is the law and you can’t flout the law.

“After using a guide dog for a number of years, you get a fairly thick skin.”

A spokesman for the Victorian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission said its largest area of complaint “by far” was from people with a disability.

In 2013-’14, the commission received 223 such complaints – including four from people denied access because they had an assistance dog.

“The commission seeks to resolve these complaints through a process of conciliation,” the spokesman said.

Last month it launched an awareness campaign to promote access for people with disabilities in shops, cafes and restaurants.

VEOHRC commissioner Kate Jenkins at the time said: “For too long, a large sector of our community has been locked out of public buildings that everybody else can access freely.’’

Nam Loong’s manager did not return the Journal’s calls before deadline.

A MAN’S body was found in a burned-out car in Dawn Avenue, Dandenong South, on Thursday morning in what police deemed as “non-suspi’ cious” circumstances.

A neighbour told the Journal he’d heard a car alarm and saw smoke and a “flash” coming from the Honda Civic parked on the street about 1.10am.

Firefighters discovered the body when they extinguished the blaze.

Police from the Casey CIU, arson and explosives unit and forensics investigated the scene.

Shortly after 9am, a police spokeswoman stated the death was “nonsuspicious”.

The body had not been formally identified by Friday.

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

Walking away from the war

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD MARAMA Kufi knows the toll that inevitably comes with conflict.

The 46-year-old Ethiopian refugee looks away as he recounts the civil war that forced him to flee his home in search of safety.

Marama, a mentor for Challenge Family Violence, was 18 in 1987 when he escaped the Ethiopian Oromia region for Sudan.

“I was a primary school teacher and suddenly bombs just started dropping on our school and we lost a lot of children, we carried as many as we could through the bush,” he said.

“We walked day and night for about three weeks to cross the border, through the desert and we lost a lot of

kids on the way.

“We carried all the kids and then we walked through the bush and then the desert and then sometimes we lost direction.”

Roughly 17 teachers fled the school, carrying as many of the 300 children that escaped with them as they could.

Marama said they lost more than 50 of the kids who were once his students.

“When we tried to cross the water, you don’t know the depths of the water,” he said. “You don’t know when a gun is coming behind you, you have to run. You carry as many children as you can and cross the water.

“War is not easy.”

The Victorian Oromo Community Association, of which Marama is a passionate member, was established in

Marama Kufi, a passionate mentor for the Challenge Family Violence program.

1984 by refugees from Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.

He has volunteered for the White

Ribbon campaign for several years and is now a passionate mentor for the Challenge Family Violence program a joint three-year initiative started last year by the Casey, Dandenong and Cardinia councils.

Whether it’s within a family or in war, conflict is conflict, Marama said.

“Destroy is destroy. It can destroy the family, destroy the community, destroy the country.

“That’s war, that’s conflict - this is violence,” he said.

“I can’t be a world leader to stop the war but I can contribute to the families.”

Marama said he would continue to encourage members of the Oromo community to involve themselves in the campaign to stop violence against

women, while also continuing to challenge cultural barriers.

“The committee is encouraging women to take roles of power and leadership,” he said.

“The girls are becoming presidents of the community. The high school students and university students, they’re becoming involved in the community.

“They are mobilising the community, the young Oromo girls, in the Dandenong area and in the Casey area, and Victoria-wide.”

Prestige Hino presented the donation to Windermere Child and Family Services last Tuesday, 18 November.

The cash came from its annual charity golf day at Sandhurst Golf Club on 17 October.

Prestige Hino dealer principal Anthony Long said the truck sales company had a long-standing relationship with Windermere.

Thugs to end up in a hole

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE region’s top cop has warned that police are taking a hard line on the “arseholes” who afflict family violence.

Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius, who heads the southern metropolitan police area, told a family-violence debate in Dandenong last Thursday that he wanted to hold perpetrators accountable for a societal “cancer” where many women were objectified and subject to violence, abuse and control.

Mr Cornelius said he was determined to tackle a 68 per cent recidivism rate among family-violence offenders in Greater Dandenong last year.

So far this year there has been a six per cent drop in the rate – though there has been still more than 400 recidivist offenders.

He said the reduction was achieved by “holding these arseholes accountable”.

“It’s police practice now to arrest perpetrators on their first offence and force them to endure at least four hours in police cells.

“We take away that sense of empowerment and control and authority, and give them a clear taste of the consequences,” he said.

Mr Cornelius said a new agreement with Dandenong Magistrates’ Court fast-tracked

Debate speakers Fiona McCormack, Maya Avdibegovic, Chris Atmore, Keran Howe, Adrian Evans and Luke Cornelius.

131189

recidivist offenders’ cases to be heard within a week, not up to 18 weeks.

“We won’t allow their feet to touch the ground.”

Dr Chris Atmore, senior policy adviser for Federation of Community Legal Centres Victoria, said there was a need for “smart justice” rather than a “lock-them-up-and-throw-

away-the-key mentality”.

The latter approach had, in any case, only jailed 11 per cent of perpetrators, she said. Those jailed were locked up for an average of less than three months.

Dr Atmore said greater spending on prisons meant less to spend on men’s behaviour change programs and safe refuge housing for women and children.

She called for more consideration of why men were violent.

Maya Avdibegovic of the InTouch Multicultural Centre of Family Violence said the state’s network of support agencies “works perfectly” but was struggling to keep up with de-

mand. Men’s behaviour change programs could only help about 20 per cent of men in need of intervention, she said.

Domestic Violence Victoria chief executive Fiona McCormack said: “We have to be tougher on the men (perpetrators) but we also have to be smarter.”

She said a coalition of agencies had made 25 ‘key asks’ as part of a No More Deaths campaign ahead of the state election.

Other speakers included magistrate Pauline Spencer and Women with Disabilities Victoria chief executive Keran Howe who have featured in the Journal this month.

Ice user’s violence remorse on way to nine months’ jail

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AN ICE-user has been jailed for nine months for striking and detaining his partner in their Noble Park home while he was on a suspended sentence.

In Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday, Michael Golota, 31, tearfully studied his partner and sixmonth-old toddler in the gallery while he was being led away to the cells.

He was sentenced to six months’ jail for the charges on top of triggering the three-month suspended sentence.

Magistrate Pauline Spencer also imposed a 12-month intervention order

to protect the partner and son.

She said family violence was unacceptable and caused harm to partners and even affected their children’s brain development. “(Children) can sense the insecurity and the fear going on. Studies show it has far-reaching effects on children.

“It’s aggravated by the fact there was a family violence safety notice to give people a break and make people feel safe.”

Ms Spencer said a communitybased order would be an inappropriate sentence given Golota had breached three previous orders.

“What we know with ice use is it causes problems with people’s moods.

There’s a heightened risk of family violence.”

Police prosecutor First Constable Tanique McFarlane told the court that Golota hit his wife in the face with his left hand and dragged her inside the house twice as she tried to escape to call police last month.

During a series of arguments that day, Golota pushed the her around the house and knocked her to the ground while she carried their child.

The child was accidentally struck on the head by both parties and suf-

fered some minor bruising, First Constable McFarlane said.

The court was told that Golota was subsequently served with a safety notice banning him from the house and from being within five metres of the victim, yet he answered the door when child protection workers visited a day later.

He complied with instructions to leave the house, returning 10 minutes later “asking for a phone”, First Constable McFarlane said.

He was arrested and has remained in custody since 21 October.

Defence lawyer Siva Kandasamy said a remorseful Golota, who admitted he was a weekly user of the drug ‘ice’, had acted “out of character”.

His client’s prior convictions included a traffic-related charger of recklessly causing injury as well as property, drug and other traffic offences.

“There’s not a history of violence,” the lawyer said.

“There seems an issue of managing stress.”

Ms Spencer replied: “Weekly ice use will be causing you changes of mood and changes of temper.”

Sex tape fear AN ENDEAVOUR Hills man who traumatised his ex-partner by stalking her for 12 months and threatening to cyber-publish sex tapes of her has been sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work.

Sabbir Alam’s behaviour was described by Dandenong Magistrate Jack Vandersteen during a sentencing hearing last Monday as “persistent, hurtful and highly vindictive�.

The 24-year-old accused did not escape conviction due to the length of his stalking, the nature of his conduct and the need to deter others from “this destructive behaviour�, Mr Vandersteen told him.

He dismissed Alam’s argument that he never intended to publish any sex tapes.

He said they didn't exist.

But, Mr Vandersteen said: “It wasn’t your intention to make (the victim) aware of that.

You wanted to put her under pressure.�

Mr Vandersteen said Alam was an intelligent, highly educated civil engineer who preyed on his victim’s vulnerability which stemmed from her mood disorder and mental health problems at the time.

The pressure caused the victim, who had moved to Singapore after their break-up, to take her phone off the hook.

She had agreed to meet Alam at Changi Airport to placate him, Mr Vandersteen said.

After the meeting, he texted her a photo of her front door causing her to change her contact details.

Mr Vandersteen said Alam’s behaviour had severely affected his victim’s emotional wellbeing, leading her to increase her high dosages of anti-depressants and sleeping pills.

According to her victim impact statement, she “lives in constant fear about what you’ll

do next�, Mr Vandersteen told Alam. “She says the behaviour was abusive and threatening, which I accept, and left her traumatised. “She has used the word ‘crippling’.�

Defence lawyer Esan Pilai said Alam - who battled depression and suicidal thoughts would benefit from a rehabilitative sentence, including further counselling.

Mr Vandersteen, though, noted that Alam exploited his self-harm by photographing his injuries and sending pictures to the complainant to further torment her.

As part of an 18-month community-based order, Alam was ordered to undergo assessment for enrolment in a sexual offenders’ program as well as mental health assessment, treatment, and corrections supervision.

DANDENONG JOURNAL

Page 10 Monday, 24 November, 2014 Advertorial

PRINCIPAL OF YELLOW BRICK ROAD DANDENONG DELWYN RAYNER, EACH WEEK SHARES A COLUMN ON WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL MATTERS FOR THE JOURNAL. The Bureau of Statistics recently announced that Australian male life expectancy has topped 80 years, putting us in a club of just four nations in which both males and females have life expectancies over 80.

While this speaks volumes about our lifestyle and health system, it also has a practical impact on retirement planning.

Fifty years ago the average man would be expecting to fund a retirement not much more than 10 years. But when life expectancies are over 80, both sexes - and women in particular will have to think about funding 20 years of living.

This will translate to longer working lives, but it also necessitates better retirement planning.

The planning starts with how much you need for your life style. The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has a retirement calculator online but their averages extend from around $23,000 per year for a single with a modest lifestyle, to $58,000 for a couple with a comfortable lifestyle.

Even if you and your partner can get by on $50,000 a year, how much would you need to accumulate over your working life to fund that?

This is the second piece of the longevity puzzle: how much should I have in super and other investments when I retire? The typical outlook is to say that if your investments can generate 5 per cent per annum, then $1 million will sustain you as long as you’re alive.

But in practice inflation and taxes take around 3 per cent, leaving you with more like 2 per cent yield.

So what do you do? You have to start by focusing on getting more out of your investment strategy.

Traditionally, as people near retirement they push most of their investments into cash which is low-returning but capital guaranteed. They do this to avoid the market risk of shares, but in doing so they make themselves vulnerable to inflation risk.

Retirees typically would shift all their nonhousing capital into cash because they didn’t expect to live much more than a decade past retirement. They did this via a pension product which boasted a small income and no capital growth.

But with 20 years to live, retirees will have to allocate at least some of their lump sum to capital growth. In other words, to fund 20 years of living they’ll have to generate regular income as well as capital growth inside their portfolio which means they’ll need ‘cash’, ‘balanced’ and ‘growth’ options.

There’s already an array of annuity and pension products that retirees can invest in, that will take much of the thinking out of this. But even with a product, many retirees will have to investigate the risk-return options to get the results they want.

If this is overwhelming, it’s worth talking to an adviser and starting to plan. Most financial planners are already shifting retirees towards this style of investing. The good news is that a longer retirement might be expensive to fund, but it also gives you the scope for a properly diversified investment strategy.

If you are interested to speaking to someone in regards to planning for your retirement please give the Yellow Brick Team at Dandenong a call.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… nong’s Little India to meet a touring VIP last Wednesday.

We dared to dream it was Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was in Australia for the G20 conference.

Instead we arrived to find Planning Minister Matthew Guy - something of a let down let’s say.

THE extended Evans family will reunite at Dandenong Baptist Church at 1.30pm this Saturday, 29 November.

Edwin Evans and Bessie Lethlean sailed to Australia from Cornwall in 1872.

Their youngest son Alan married May Munro in 1925 and took up a clerical position at the bacon factory. They had seven children before May died. Alan married Muriel Stewart in 1944 and they had a daughter. The eight siblings, pictured from youngest to oldest, Beth Paproth, Pauline Ward, Ross Evans, Ken Evans, Isobel Allan, Marjorie Taylor, Bruce Evans and John Evans, remain close and are hoping to meet other descendants of Edwin and Bessie Evans at the reunion.

A JOURNAL reporter was surprised to spot a rogue trombonist in action on Power Road on her drive home on Friday 14 November.

The man had apparently parked his vehicle on the road reserve outside Sydney Pargeter Reserve in Endeavour Hills to get some practice.

He appeared to be reading sheet music taped to the white four-wheel drive’s back window, but we’d love to know just what he was up to. Email journal@starnewsgroup.com.au or visit our Facebook site.

POLICE tape crisscrossed Dandenong Park and its surrounds last Wednesday as detectives investigated a crime scene.

One bystander was heard to remark: “Geez the council’s Christmas decorations aren’t up to scratch this year!”

WILD wind wreaked havoc with hairstyle and hemlines at the opening for Symbion’s new Keysborough facility.

A windswept Health Minister Peter Dutton followed two follically-challenged speakers at the lectern. “They have far more practical hairdos than I do for this morning’s occasion,” he said.

CHANNEL 31 highlighted Wallara Industries’ success in a half-hour screening on Monday 10 November.

Wallara and Newskills brought more than 100 people to the factory site in Keysborough to celebrate the program, alongside Wallara Ambassador and X-Factor contestant Emmanuel Kelly. Visit www.wallara.com.au NOT many people would know the secret passion of Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius.

According to The Great Debate family violence forum’s MC in Dandenong last week, Mr Cornelius grew up wanting to be a tugboat captain. The MC asked if he still harboured that desire and Mr Cornelius apparently replied: “Yes, I still use little things to push big s*** around.”

SORRY for this slight on our distant northVictorian neighbours.

A defence lawyer asked a police officer in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court if drugs were available in Benalla – in the hope that her iceaddicted client might be released on bail to live on his relative’s farm there.

The magistrate interjected: “I think everyone knows there’s drugs in Benalla.”

Then, noting a journalist was furiously scribbling notes, the magistrate refined their comment: “Let’s say there’s drugs everywhere... let’s not get in a war with Benalla.”

Ghetto fears SPRINGVALE South residents fear a “ghetto” would eventuate from a five-unit development on a single block in their court.

City of Greater Dandenong councillors rejected a proposal for two double-storey and three single-storey dwellings at 12 Wirilda Court on 27 October.

Eight objections from surrounding residents cited concerns about traffic congestion and parking, drainage and flooding, and neighbourhood character.

Most objectors at a meeting with the applicant and coun-

cil on 14 January said they feared the court would become a “ghetto” if the development proceeded.

A council report said the concern related to “the number of units that could bring low socio-economic tenants that may seek to undermine the neighbourhood character of the area”.

The site is zoned for “incremental change” and the report recommended approving the proposal, saying it would add to housing diversity, was only a minor increase in den-

SOME of Greater Dandenong’s newest residents have enjoyed a picnic in the park.

CatholicCare held the multicultural youth and families sports day at Dandenong Park on Saturday 15 November.

Participants enjoyed a barbecue lunch on picnic blankets and chairs and played soccer, volleyball and bocce.

sity and offered adequate car parking. But Councillor Sean O’Reilly said the block was in the bowl of the court and the development would completely change how the court operated.

“What we should be mindful of is an application is not just about a site itself but where it is placed,” he said.

“I foresee traffic and parking issues.”

Cr Peter Brown said the application was for 17 bedrooms but only included 10 car parks.

Right to vote

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1164693-EG48-14

YOUR voice belongs to you.

That’s the simple, vital message that Keysborough’s ‘democracy ambassador’ Nyandeng Ayul has for wouldbe state election voters.

Ms Ayul is part of a group of African Australians trained up by the Victorian Electoral Commission, in partnership with the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria, to teach adults in Greater Dandenong how to vote.

She impresses on her students that they need not be afraid, they have the freedom to choose who they want.

“A lot of people in the South Sudanese community are keen to vote but not everyone knows how to vote correctly.”

Use numbers, not ticks or crosses. Number all the boxes, she tells her student voters.

She tells voters to seek help if they’re unsure - rather than joining the growing masses of informal voters.

During the last state election, there were more than 2700 informal voters - 8.6 per cent of the vote - in her seat formerly known as Lyndhurst.

She vividly recalls her struggles while voting in her first election in 2006, soon after arriving in Australia speaking just a “little bit” of English.

Nyandeng Ayul is spreading the word on democracy ahead of the state election. 130113 Her husband helped her work out the voting system and what each political party stood for but when she entered a polling station she stumbled over one important detail.

“I didn’t know where my vote was supposed to go. No- one told me I have a right to ask someone where the ballot box was.”

Democracy ambassadors are available to provide free information sessions about voting at any local community event.

Sessions can be booked by contacting the VEC Outreach and Engagement Officer Asvin Phorugngam at asvin.phorugngam@vec.vic.gov.au or on 8620 1185.

Gabriella, 4, diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, wished to have a cubby house and eat fried chicken in it with her family.

Barry Plant’s “Wishtober” raised $115,235 for Make-A-Wish® Australia who grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Throughout October every Barry Plant office made a generous donation from the commissions they earned on every property sold. We celebrated the end of Wishtober with a gala event where even more money was raised. So thanks to everyone in the Barry Plant Group – and a lot of generous clients and business partners - we were able to well and truly meet our $100,000 goal.

OUR GOAL

In fact, in total this year, we’ve raised $150,000 for Make-A-Wish so that they can bring the healing power of a wish to more seriously ill children. There are thousands of children who would benefit from the life-changing power of a wish, so we’ll keep fundraising to make even more wishes come true. You can donate at our office, or at any of our open for inspections.

NEW HOMES & LAND

INDUSTRY LEADER IN CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR the second consecutive year, Carlisle Homes was awarded the 2014 Customer Service Award at the HIA-CSR Victorian Home and Kitchen and Bathroom Awards on Friday, 7 November.

HIA awards are held in the highest regard within the residential building community and have grown to become the state’s most distinguished housing awards program.

HIA Victorian executive director Gil King congratulated the winners.

“It’s difficult to come up with new adjectives to describe the ever-increasing standards that are set year after year.

“It is very clear that with each new year the entrants look to the benchmark set by the previous year.

“In some categories there has been an extraordinary increase in the standard of entries.”

The HIA Victorian judging panel is comprised of 35 independent individuals who have a range of experience and expertise within the Victorian residential construction industry.

Specifically, the HIA Customer Service Award recognises excellence in customer service for builders or suppliers to the building industry with the judging criteria of the HIA Customer

Service Award including a review of customer service policy, communication, research and development, customer service levels and customer satisfaction.

Carlisle Homes was excited to be recognised as an industry leader in customer service for the second year in a row.

Carlisle’s executive director John Doulgeridis said: “We need to listen, collaborate and continuously challenge the way the business operates to look for innovative ways to further fulfill our customers’ needs, understanding that satisfied customers are fundamental to our ongoing success

THE TEAM AT CARLISLE HOMES. and sustainability.”

Furthermore, John reflected on the importance of team work in delivering the results.

“Without a highly engaged and dedicated team, these results

would not be possible,” he said.

Carlisle Homes remains committed to building homes of exceptional quality matched by an experience that surpasses customers’ expectations.

Step up to our award winning Milan, voted HIA’s Best Display Home 2014.* The Milan 29 from our Aspire range has just won the 2014 HIA Victorian division Best Display Home between $250,001 – 300,000.

It’s an architect designed home ofering afordable luxury, space and light and a range of innovative features.

The sun court, for instance, actually increases the usable interior space and floods the living areas with light. Or as the judges said: “A very open home that gives the impression it is bigger than it actually is.

“Excellent workmanship, attention to detail and a feeling of spaciousness.” – HIA Judges

You can sense the diference immediately with generously proportioned spaces that flow together naturally to create vistas and extended views with picture windows usually only found in more expensive homes.

The high level of luxury inclusions also caught the eye of the judges who said the Caesarstone benches, Franke sinks and Smeg appliances “represent value for money”.

The overall style and elegance of this four bedroom home is typified by the raised ceiling above the dining area.

Visit the Milan today – and judge for yourself.

WELLSPRINGS for Women welcomes more than 200 people through its doors each week.

The Dandenong organisation’s manager Veronica Hassett said many of the people it dealt with were new to Australia.

“If they don’t connect, they’re going to isolate themselves,” she said.

“When they come to a new country, the first thing they’ll be told is they’ve got to get their kids into school, they’ve got to find work, you’ve got to get a house - without the connections.

“Wellsprings provides them the place to gather and then we gradually connect them to forums and programs and special events.”

Art therapist Holly Gordon has worked on Wellsprings’ Creative Connections Through Craft project for almost three years.

She said it was a soft starting point for women to access further education through Wellsprings and other organisations.

The group meets for more than two hours each Monday to work on stencils, painting, embroidery and more.

“Craft’s a really positive activity for them,” Ms Gordon said.

She said some participants had gone on to complete certificate courses and run market stalls.

A child support worker joins the group to look after participants’

Up to 50 women and 30 preschool aged children participate in the Wellsprings Learning to Live in Australia program each week.

“Understanding the Australian education system is very hard for them,” Ms Hassett said.

“Some of them have never been to school in their own country or they’re illiterate in their own language.

“Coming to Australia, we automatically get them to fill out forms and enrol their children in school or Medicare forms etcetera and it alienates them even more, so isolation starts all over again.”

Ms Hassett said the program covered the basics of learning to live in a new country - from filling out forms to seeing a doctor and getting school uniforms.

Wellsprings heard from schools that some of their parents culturally didn’t understand how education worked.

“So we took that program into Dandenong South Primary School to connect mothers,” Ms Hassett said.

“Through that they are actually learning to articulate and speak English.”

Wellsprings also provides oneon-one support to new arrivals, runs a Home Visitation Program, runs English classes and employs staff from different ethnic backgrounds.

“We model what we see in society, which, I think, is really important as well,” Ms Hassett said.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Heart of Asian industry

By CASEY NEILL “TODAY is the start of a different story for manufacturing in this country, and it all starts here in Dandenong.”

With these words James Sturgess launched a campaign to make the region the manufacturing centre of South-East Asia.

Business leaders gathered at Dandenong Civic Centre last Monday 17 November to unveil the Great Southern Manufacturing - Making it Great ... in Dandenong project.

“We want this region to become the manufacturing heartland for South East Asia,” Mr Sturgess said.

The Committee for Dandenong member and M+K Lawyers Victorian managing director said the aim was to correct public perceptions of the industry.

He said successful companies would share their stories through video, digital media and advertising, and Corex Plastics Australia, TriMas Corporation, Aluminium Industries, Hilton Manufacturing and HM Gem Engines got the ball rolling.

Company representatives explained why they were passionate about manufacturing staying in Australia and the strengths and capabilities in Victoria’s manufacturing heartland.

“Dandenong is a great place to start a fightback for manufacturing,” Mr Sturgess said. “It is the capital of manufacturing in Victoria and the home of Australia’s supply chains.”

Dandenong’s manufacturing sector employs 22,850 people, or 30 per cent of the local workforce, and contributes $15.5 billion to the economy.

Icehouse classic Great Southern Land played as slides displayed these and other statistics.

“I was sitting in a cinema one day watching the ads before the film started,” Mr Sturgess said.

“I watched the mining ad This is Our Story and went ‘that’s what manufacturing in this region needs’.

“We’re no longer going to tell this story within four walls.

“We want to tell them to millions of people around Australia so they actually get what manufacturing is about and how important it is to Australia.

“And how successful this region is already and how we can build on the success - for the region’s benefit, the state’s benefit, the community’s benefit and Australia’s benefit.”

Mr Sturgess said he wanted the

Top: Committee for Dandenong chairman Gary Castricum, South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) president Simon Whitely from Corex Plastics Australia, Hilton Manufacturing managing director Picture: DONNA OATES Todd Hartley, and Jim Gallagher from Aluminium Industries. 130739 project to boost investment and jobs in the region and urged other manufacturers to get involved.

He’s looking for people who want to tell their manufacturing story or do-

nate cash to the campaign.

“Whether you live, work or are thinking about investing in Dandenong, we want you to join this movement,” he said.

Minister pops in for tablet centre launch

By CASEY NEILL SYMBION has officially opened its new $40 million pharmaceutical distribution centre.

The 12,000 square metre Atlantic Drive site will service more than 750 pharmacies and 160 hospitals throughout Victoria each day.

It can move more than 10,000 units of medicine every hour.

The latest technology has streamlined supply processes but growth ensured Symbion could retain the 100 staff employed at its former Noble Park site.

At launch celebrations on Thursday 20 November, Health Minister Peter Dutton said quick access to affordable treatments was one of the cornerstones of Australia’s health system.

“The new state-ofthe-art distribution centre will help maintain this standard, supplying medications listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme within 24 hours,” he said.

EBOS Group Limited purchased Symbion in the middle of last year.

Chairman Rick Christie and Symbion had already given the project the green light.

“We didn’t hesitate to give our approval as well,” he said.

EBOS CEO Patrick Davies said the facility contained the “world’s largest Mecano set”.

“The technology we

have incorporated into this facility is designed to increase efficiency for us and our customers and to support and respond to the future demands of Australia’s healthcare landscape,” he said.

Warehouse supervisor Veronique Blair has worked with Symbion for 14 years and led tours through the new site, which started receiving stock in July.

A ‘goods-to-person’ carousel system automatically collects items for each order.

An order assembly system and automatic cranes dispense and move products at extremely high speeds.

Ms Blair said everything was done by hand at the Noble Park facility.

Weight checking systems with a 50-gram tolerance have significantly reduced order error rates.

A 70-vehicle fleet distributes the medicines across Victoria, making more than 500 deliveries a day.

Two full-time engineers are on hand to ensure the system runs smoothly.

Symbion receives funding from the Federal Government under the Community Service Obligation (CSO) funding pool for the safe and timely supply and delivery of Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme medicines across Australia.

It has been a CSO distributor since 2006.

Highways at top of the game SPRINGVALE gaming venue Highways has won a state award.

It took home the award for the best metropolitan gaming venue with more than 51 electronic gaming machines at the Australian Hotel Association – Victoria Awards on 17 November.

The category recognised excellence in gaming hotels and placed emphasis on the overall quality of the customer experience.

Highways was rewarded for delivering the highest standard of hospitality excellence above other nominees and 13 finalists.

Judges looked at the facility’s popularity, service, cleanliness, environmental sustainability efforts, decor, ambience, lighting and music.

They examined the quality, presentation, price, originality and selection of food and drinks and the integration of its gaming room with the overall hotel.

Highways general manager Di McKain said she was proud to be a part of the venue’s success.

“It is wonderful to be recognised for the quality of gaming experience the staff, company and patrons are dedicated to creating at Highways,” she said.

Pegasus Leisure Group (PLG), a Melbourne Racing Club subsidiary, owns the venue.

“We’re delighted that our venues are being rewarded at these prestigious industry awards for their efforts,” CEO Simon Gardner said.

“We’ve developed a hard working team who are dedicated to providing the very best hospitality for our customers.”

Lamb on the menu

By JARROD POTTER

THE final stretch of their junior careers is ahead of a group of Dandenong Stingrays’ TAC Cup players with the AFL National Draft only four days away.

The Dandenong Stingrays are well in the hunt to land a number of footballers into the AFL football universe, with highly scouted AIS-AFL Academy duo Tom Lamb and Daniel Capiron the best placed.

Just how well placed they are remains a mystery to Stingrays’ coach Craig Black, with the AFL clubs drawing a veil over their preferred targets in an extremely close and competitive draft class this year.

“This year out of any it’s been pretty quiet - everyone is keeping their cards close to their chest,” Black said.

“It’s tough as no one is giving any info away.

“Normally you hear something, but

they’ve all been quiet - I’m probably seeing the same stuff as everyone with the phantom drafts.

“Because it’s so close… with some good players in there… the top six or seven will take care of themselves and after that is a need for what the clubs are looking for.”

Versatility and Tom Lamb are synonymous this season with the 192cm utility adept from centre-half-back, through the midfield, off a wing or deep forward where he clutched strong marks and booted a couple of big goal hauls. If he keeps his head in the game, Lamb is one of the most destructive players with his kicking and highmarking and should expect to hear his name called out sometime within the second round.

As part of a one-two punch up forward was co-captain Jack Lonie, the goal-sneak forward who can also mix it as well as the best in the midfield.

Criticism about the livewire forward

Dandenong Stingrays’ co-captain Jack Lonie will be one of the players waiting eagerly for his name to be Picture: JARROD POTTER called at Thursday night’s AFL National Draft. 125795 has only come from his height - but if clubs overlook his 145cm stature, they will find a strong marking and crumbing presence that will slot into most forward lines with ease.

Co-captain Daniel Capiron has been a dour defender and skilful ball user across his eight TAC Cup games this season, especially in his six Vic

Country appearances.

Hard-running wingman/midfielder Bailey Dale, key position forward Aaron Wilson and hard-edged defender Mitch White also remain a chance to get their names called on Thursday night.

Narre Warren’s Toby McLean has also played himself into contention with the draft, after earning a TAC

Cup premiership, grand final best-onground medal and an invite to the AFL National Draft Combine, held last month at Etihad Stadium.

The AFL National Draft takes place on Thursday from 6.30pm at the Gold Coast Convention Centre before the AFL Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts on Wednesday, 3 December.

Taste for bright lights

Dyna Villa stormed home to claim the TAB Melbourne Cup ahead of Chica Destacada and Keybow. 131286

Dyna Villa… dynamite from box 8

By MICHAEL FLOYD DYNA Villa etched his name into greyhound racing folklore with a brilliant win in Friday night’s $600,00 Group 1 TAB Melbourne Cup at Sandown Park.

Unbeaten in three starts from box 8, Dyna Villa began brilliantly to cross the stellar field and lead through the first turn. As the rest of the pack settled Dyna Villa shot clear, opening a sixlength break over his rivals down the back straight in what proved to be a race-winning break, stopping the clock in a slick 29.36 seconds.

Chica Destacada chased valiantly to reduce the margin to two lengths at the line, with favourite Keybow a further two lengths away in third.

Despite qualifying for the final as the fastest heat winner, Dyna Villa opened a $4.40 chance after the box draw before being backed into a $3 second favourite by starting time.

The win extended Dyna Villa’s remarkable unbeaten record at Sandown Park to eight starts and improved his overall record to 14 wins from just 22

starts. The $420,000 first prize took his career earnings to $466,635, a remarkable figure for a greyhound that has only just turned two years of age.

It was the first TAB Melbourne Cup win for trainer Jenny Hunt and the second victory for owner Brendan Wheeler following Dyna Tron’s success in 2011.

Earlier in the night, crowd favourite Sweet It Is took out her fourth Group 1 success for 2014 with a stunning victory in the $145,000 Solo Bold Trease.

Despite running second in her heat, Sweet It Is was sent to the boxes a $2.25 chance and favourite-punters had their hearts in their mouths when the popular daughter of Mogambo drifted back to second last at the winning post the first time around.

With Zipping Maggie and Space Star duelling for the lead, Sweet It Is found trouble. Six lengths adrift after one lap, Sweet It Is weaved her way through the field before again being held up coming off the back straight.

However once finding clear running room, Sweet It Is unleashed a finishing

burst worthy of the race’s namesake, sweeping past Space Star to claim the $100,000 first prize by a rapidly expanding five-and-three-quarter lengths.

Sweet It Is ran an eye-catching sixth in the same race in 2013, however it wasn’t until the move to master trainer Darren McDonald’s kennel in March 2014 that saw her elevate herself to the upper echelon of history’s great stayers.

In 20 starts in McDonald’s care, Sweet It Is is yet to miss a place, winning on nine occasions including four times at Group 1 level. Remarkably, in each of her Group 1 wins, Sweet It Is ran second in her heat before claiming the final.

Sweet It Is improved her overall record to 15 wins from 47 starts and boosted her career prize money to $594,565 elevating her to sixth position all time.

Completing a big night of racing, Hostile used box 1 to perfection to take out the Listed Cup Night Sprint for Darren Beasley, while Brooke Ennis claimed the Listed Berwick Mazda Middle Distance with Oscura.

Flying for Dandenong Thunder, Kieran Dover made a short but memorable debut with the Melbourne Victory on Saturday. 123790 Picture: JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER WHILE it was only a handful of seconds, Kieran Dover has already got a taste for the A League’s bright lights after his Melbourne Victory debut on Saturday night.

Trading his Dandenong Thunder gear for a Victory jersey this summer, Dover, 17, from Pakenham, earned the briefest debut in the Victory’s A-League 0-0 draw with Sydney FC as injuries and international duty ravaged the starting line-up.

Called on by coach Kevin Muscat in the 93rd minute, Dover admits he barely got near the ball as he traversed the Melbourne midfield, but loved every one of his brief seconds on the pitch.

“It went very quick - warming up then going back to the bench as I didn’t think I was going on, but Kevin (Muscat) started shouting my name and I couldn’t get my jumper off quick enough,” Dover said.

“Got on and it felt really quick - I was on there and then it was over, felt like a really short time but it was a great feeling.

“There was nothing I really did on the pitch except run around… when I was running on the feeling and the experience was just great.”

It’s been a memorable 2014 for Dover with his continued selection in the starting line-up for Dandenong Thunder’s NPL team - in Victoria’s highest ranked competition below the A-League -also showing his capabilities.

“The whole year has been exciting,” Dover said.

“With Thunder and Dean Hennessey (coach) playing me week in, week out it helped me get to where I am now.

“He trusted me and Matty Millar as well - just trusted us as did (Dandenong Thunder technical director) Stuart Munro.”

It’s been a long road to get to the Victory, following his family immigrating to Australia in 2010.

He left England with an already glowing junior resume following junior stints with Sunderland and Middleborough. Dover hopes he can get back to the motherland eventually to pursue elite soccer opportunities, but he’s thrilled for the time being in the Melbourne Victory line-up and any chance to add to his limited A-League career.

The Victory square off against the Brisbane Roar at home on Friday night.

SPORT DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - Round 4 (day 2)

Steve Spoljaric hits the roof

By JARROD POTTER FORTUNE favoured Cranbourne (110 and 4/103) as Lyndale (107 and 100) went from a winning first innings position to conceding an outright defeat in a couple of hours.

Lyndale had Cranbourne on the ropes in the first innings - working down to the final partnership as Ben Maroney (70 not out) was holding on for grim life against Quyen Pham (4/32), Ricky Foulstone (3/30) and Jaime Brohier (3/27). The Eagles were on the razor’s edge between first innings victory and defeat with a caught-behind was ruled not out on account of a no ball. From there Cranbourne lifted to just edge past Lyndale’s first innings tally and earn the first of their points for the afternoon. Maroney’s half-century - a dour affair by his standards off 82 balls - was the only man to shine for the Eagles first up before Lyndale was sent back in.

Steve Spoljaric (7/20) took the significant challenge on his shoulders as his opening ball team-mate Te Ahu Davis (1/0) was mostly ruled out of bowling after coming down crook this week. It left Spoljaric to rattle through the Lyndale attack. Once Brohier (27) succumbed to a straightener from Spoljaric, the rest fell to the three-time Wookey medallist.

Foulstone (20) and Farazur Rahman (13) knocked in the best partnership for the home side to maintain some distance between Cranbourne and outright victory. It took a half-tracker mongrel from Davis, who bowled one over despite suffering with illness, and a phenomenal one-handed catch to remove Foulstone and with it spell the end of Lyndale’s resistance.

Cranbourne needed 98 in 27 overs to take the outright and take top-of-the-ladder and were able to flay Lyndale in almost half that time.

Maroney (39) - not content with one stellar knock in the day - returned to bludgeon Lyndale out of the game.

Maroney took a fancy to Ben Montgomery (0/27) as the spinner was heaved for 22 by the former Pakenham opener. Maroney smacked about four boundaries and a huge six onto the Barry Powell hill to end the Lyndale resistance. Spoljaric (29 not out) finished the match with a pair of sixes - with one striking the pavilion roof - to seal an emphatic comefrom-behind win and take with it the 10 points and top of the Turf 1 ladder in a stellar rise from Turf 2 after winning last season’s premiership.

SPRINGVALE SOUTH v MORDIALLOC

Cranbourne number three Cameron Dinger can only look on in disbelief as his stumps were rearranged by Lyndale’s Ricky Foulstone. 131285 Pictures: JARROD POTTER GOVERNING the action in one of the best all-round displays in DDCA history, Ruwantha Kellepotha (151 not out) followed his five-wicket haul with an amazing century to give Springvale South (7/253) the win against Mordialloc (202). Showing off the power that earned them a grand-final spot last year, the dour work of Steve Masterson (26) counterpointed the power of Kellepotha, who raced to his second century in Turf 1 cricket. Kellepotha’s innings was remarkably similar to his first DDCA ton last year when, as the mercury rose dramatically, the Sri Lankan only got better. Mordialloc had no match for the all-rounder, who struck the top score in DDCA Turf 1 this season as he walked off after an incredible knock to a thunderous applause in front of his home crowd.

BERWICK v DANDENONG WEST BERWICK (118 and 5/124) claimed the other outright triumph of the day as the Bears mauled Dandenong West (107 and 134). After just sneaking past the Bulls’ first innings tally and the damaging work of Dandy quick Peter Atkinson (6/58) - led from the top of the order

by Jarrod Goodes (45) - Berwick began its own dismantling procedures. Goodes (3/18), Cory Bevan (3/35) and Bathiya Perera (2/33)

flew through the visitors in 53 overs, leaving a tense 123-run chase with not much more than 20 overs to get it done. Getting into a Twenty20 mindset, the Bears charged through the Bulls’ bowlers to get the job done at 6.5 runs an over. Daniel Brown (32), Ryan Crawford (37) and Bevan (20 not out) all smacked the sixes needed in the tight chase to earn maximum points and an emphatic triumph against the odds.

HALLAM KALORA PARK v PARKFIELD DESPITE the best efforts of the Parkfield (153) lower order, it wasn’t enough to stop Hallam Kalora Park (225) taking its first win of the season. Ben Hall (4/21) flew through the Parkfield attack, leaving only Matt Aslett (33) and Nilochana Perera (43) to attempt a rescue. The duo was undone after a gutsy partnership by Hallam’s Jake Cutting (2/19) and Amila Perera (2/41) and with their dismissals the Parkfield resistance crumbled.

NORTH DANDENONG v COOMOORA COOMOORA (115 and 6/120) staved off outright defeat as North Dandenong (7/158dec) peppered the Kangaroos with an all-out attack to help move into the top four.

Shane Clark (46 not out) went the smack to push the home side towards a reasonable declaration as

With two superb innings on Saturday, Cranbourne top-order batsman Ben Maroney stole the show with 70 not out in the first innings and a swashbuckling 39 in pursuit of outright victory. 131285 Joseph Hawke (3/58) proved the most effective of the Coomoora bowlers. In response, the Coomoora effort was in danger as Luke Wenke (50 not out) batted nobly to keep North Dandenong away from the crease again. Liam Dudding (4/29) had a stellar day from the bowler’s run-up, but couldn’t find the crucial scalp of Wenke.

BUCKLEY RIDGES v HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTRICTS TAKING first innings points and making a statement with the bat, Heinz Southern Districts (280) showed Buckley Ridges (181) you can never take your foot off the pedal. In dire trouble at 8/119 chasing 181, Heinz was at the mercy of Buckley Ridges’ quick Lukas Hoogenboom (4/71) before Michael Davies (43) and Keith Perumal (72) combined at the death to revive the innings. The duo batted the visitors out of trouble and into positive territory as Perumal raised the bat on a well-made 50 from number 10 - a stark contrast from his usual position up the order. Paul Stockdale (35 not out) added to the Ridges’ pain as the last wicket added 97. Buckley Ridges had 10 overs to bat out the day with Suren Ekanayake (20 not out) and Ben Watson (11 not out) earning some batting practice.

Bowling denied... century denied!

By JARROD POTTER Premier Cricket - Round 7 (day 2) WHILE it wasn’t for the win, Dandenong’s (6/287 and 128) batting on Saturday showed great signs of promise and significant improvement over last weekend.

St Kilda (3/131dec) quickly earned first innings points and with the clouds darkening over the Junction Oval and starting to spit, Graeme Rummans decided to send the Panthers back in for a second bat.

While the noise of St Kilda Road traffic and blaring construction thundered across the field, it didn’t detract from the glorious initiative put on by Panthers’ trio James Pattinson (95 not out), James Nanopoulos (45) and the opening combination of Brett Forsyth (36) and Tom Donnell (35).

The Australian Test all-rounder - still disallowed from bowling in the VPC ranks this season - made

his mark instead with the blade as he punished anything on a good length and was cruelly denied his century by the end of play. Outside of a well-made 127 in the secondary squad in 2008/09, Pattinson’s innings on Saturday was his highest knock in Premier Cricket and sent a message through the ranks that his batting is on the rise while his bowling is on sabbatical.

Nanopoulos continued to chip in at number seven, as he has done all season. In his six innings, Nanopoulos has yet to fall beneath double figures and struck his way past 25 on five occasions, including 36 and 45 in this round against St Kilda.

The top-order tandem of Forsyth and Donnell also showed their mark of improvement, batting through the spitting rain to add 60 for the first wicket before Donnell was given LBW, much to his own dissatisfaction before Forsyth was out caught by for-

mer Panther Matt Chasemore (2/44).

Sitting in 14th on the VPC ladder, Dandenong will host reigning premiers Footscray-Edgewater in a two-dayer across next weekend.

VSDCA South East 1st XI - Round 5 (day 1) ENDEAVOUR Hills (240) was spearheaded by the bottom of the order as Elsternwick (0/10) struggled to end the innings.

Zach Allen (46) kept up the runs as he added his fourth score above 40 this year before the middle order fell away. It began a fall-away through the middle ranks before Gamindu Amarasinghe (35) started a fight back. His efforts kept the Eagles soaring before the stellar efforts of Ben Swift (59) and Shane Peake (54 not out) tipped the scales back in Endeavour Hills’ favour. Peake held up the final breath of the Endeavour Hills innings to push the visitors to

240 and leave quite the headache for Elsternwick to chase.

Noble Park (150) fell away after a stunning opening stand between Sanjeewa De Silva (50) and Jake Richardson (44) as Caulfield (2/82) took back the reins.

De Silva and Richardson struck cleanly and powerful against the Caulfield attack but once they were lost to the cause, Noble Park fell away dramatically.

Luke Bartholomeusz (5/47) and former first class cricketer Brett Dorey (2/26) then began the march through the Bulls’ order as Noble Park failed to make anything of their stellar start.

Dirk Vandergert (20) and Ash Perera (12 not out) made the most of a last ditch effort to keep the Bulls at the crease. Caulfield will resume at 2/82 with Rob Johnston (1/4) taking the important scalp of Ricky Damiano (40).

It all finally clicks

Pioneers take on the state’s best

By JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER

DANDENONG’S power-packed roster found some desperately needed unity in its 92-72 win over University of Canberra Capitals.

While it was a slow start from the Rangers - waiting until the fifth minute of the first term for a Kathleen Macleod (16 points, 6 assists) trey to get on the board - from there on it was a game solely played on the Rangers’ terms.

With Cappie Pondexter (25 points, 4 rebounds) Penny Taylor (20 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals), and Macleod all finding top gear, Dandenong was able to show off the true capabilities of the list that took enormous work to recruit.

Pondexter ensured any Capital gains were quashed instantly as the Olympic gold medallist shot the lights out from beyond the threepoint arc - hitting a pair of treys in a scintillating third-term as well as a number of long-range two-pointers.

Her work from the baseline and beyond also deserves immense credit as Pondexter masterfully dished off jumping assists to threeshooting team mates Taylor and Macleod.

It wasn’t all left to Dandenong’s finest to carry the workload as Annalise Pickrel (11 points, 5 rebounds) had one of her best outings in the colours - resiliently working to curtail Capitals’ centre Abby Bishop - while Aimie Clydesdale (4 points) was tenacious around the Canberra in-bounding and on defence.

The only concern for the Rangers was a leg-knock for Penny Taylor in the fourth term, which sent her to

FULL to the brim of Dandenong District Cricket Association (DDCA) talent, the three Southern Pioneers teams - under-14, under-16 and under-18, are ready to take on the rest of the state in the upcoming championships.

With state representatives and schoolboys champions dotting each of the teams, the Pioneers’ trio stand a great chance heading into the championships. The final 13 have been selected to represent the Southern Pioneers at this season’s Cricket Victoria Bushrangers State Championship.

The under-18 team will be out to defend its hard-earned victory from last season’s competition, following a 79-run win over Inner South-East Scorpions. The win was set up by a 125-run partnership between current team representative and Victorian Under-19 squad member Zach Allen (83) and current Dandenong CC all-rounder Tanner Stanton (48) to push the side to 8/219 from its batting innings before Travis D’Souza (3/13) and Stanton (2/17) rattled through the Scorpions to claim the title.

Ryan Quirk, who has also been selected in the DDCA under-21 team, has been in top notch touch with the blade this summer so far.

Dandenong’s senior coach Ross Woodall will take the squad through their paces in tandem with Sri Lankan Test champion Thilan Samaraweera.

In the under-16s, Doveton’s powerhouse allrounder Josh Battle will be tricky to stop, especially in support by Cranbourne’s Bryce Dinger and Matthew Dennerley and a well-studded playing list coached by Mark Boraston.

School Sport Victoria under-12s representatives Ashley Chandrasinghe, Kevin Seth and Nivin Sathyajith will be the muststop trio from the Southern Pioneers under14s, with the trio led by Lyndale coach Dylan Vanderwert.

The full list of players is available on the Dandenong Journal website.

Dandenong’s Alice Kunek well and truly earned this hard-fought rebound against Canberra powerhouse Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Abby Bishop. 131287 the locker rooms for treatment, but the Opals mainstay returned to the court to knock in a few more points to rub salt into the Capitals’ wounds.

For Rangers coach Mark Wright, finding that right mix of aggression and defence - pushing a blistering pace as Macleod, Clydesdale, Taylor and Pondexter all charged forward furiously off the turnover was the pleasing outcome of the win

as his players shone.

“We finally found our direction and now we need to replicate it week-in week-out… that’s what we have to do,” Wright said.

“I don’t think people understand that I’m trying to find out what these players can do and what’s best for the team.

“But clearly this team, if we can

create turnovers and if we can get possession, is a team that can run and we have to go to our strengths.”

The win pushes Dandenong off the bottom of the WNBL ladder before a bye. Dandenong will host in-form West Coast Waves on Friday 5 December before flying up to Townsville for a preliminary final rematch against the Fire on Sunday 7 December.

South-east region brimming with talent

By JARROD POTTER SOUTH-EAST region Youth Girls footballers can now follow their elite academy passions locally as Dandenong Stingrays.

The inaugural Dandenong Stingrays’ Youth Girls Academy list was announced late last month, with 46 Youth Girls footballers set to be put through their paces by academy head coach Scott Gowans.

Formerly any players from the south-east suburbs and Gippsland had to attend the Sandringham Dragons YGA, but will now experience the best of local facilities as they’re now based out of the newly renovat-

ed Shepley Oval alongside the current TAC Cup team.The Stingrays’ first intake includes players from South-East Juniors, Gippsland Youth Girls, Yarra Juniors, Mornington Peninsula, Eastern, Frankston District and South Metro leagues.

Spanning one of the largest geographic areas out of the Youth Girls Academies, Gowans said it wasn’t Dandenong’s intent to select from all parts of the region.

“It wasn’t a conscious effort to pick a few from South East and a few from Gippsland, it just panned out that way,” Gowans said.

“It goes to show with the whole south-east region its talent base is

amazing.

“We could have picked another 20-30 girls on top of that and you wouldn’t be dropping anything as far as talent goes.”

“110 tried out... originally the squad was going to be 35, but with the talent that was there we tried to squeeze as much as we could and Chyloe (Kurdas) has managed to pull some money from somewhere to fund the whole thing.”

Desire to learn is the biggest thing Gowans has found with his squad so far and thinks that will put the Stingrays YGA in good stead for the upcoming season.

“The difference I find between

the girls and the boys is that the girls just want the knowledge,” Gowans said.

Gowans is focused on develop the playing and coaching staffs and hopes to get a few new faces into the Vic Metro and Vic Country sides ahead of the national championships.

They had their first training session Wednesday alongside the TAC Cup Stingrays before the Youth Girls Academy intra-club match at Longwarry Football Reserve on Sunday 21 December, from 10am.

Dandenong Stingrays’ Youth Girls Academy full list is available on the Dandenong Journal website.

OUR test car Fiat 500 S was priced at a pretty reasonable $20,000 plus on-road costs, adding the Dualogic semi-auto transmission adds a further $1500. It’s also offered as a cabriolet at $23,000 with Dualogic.

Cute as a button retro styling has been a big factor in Fiat 500 sales worldwide.

Inside, the painted-metal look of the dashboard is a neat feature, as is the big instrument binnacle. The 500 S (and 500 Lounge) now have digital instruments that can be displayed in a couple of different modes, rather than the twin needles on concentric circles used on all previous variants, and which are retained in the lower cost 500 Pop. Some bright colours are offered in the gen-three Fiat 500s, including Blue Jelly Bean, Mint Milkshake and Vanilla Ice Cream.

Our car was the light cream with some red racing stripes over the roof and down the bonnet.

The Fiat 500 S has sports seats, a flat-bottom leathertrimmed steering wheel with red stitching, chromed gear knob, 15-inch alloys and foglights.

A big range of options allows for plenty of customisation; Italian national colours of red-white-green stripes, a chequered roof, racing numbers, stick-on flowers that reminded me of my VW Beetle way back in my hippy days.

Packed with power

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY WITH greenhouse gas emission reduction targets making the headlines, BMW couldn’t have picked a better time for the Australian launch of the i3.

The BMW i3 is the German giant’s first mass-produced vehicle to run solely on electric power.

It comes with the choice of two powerplants, one that relies solely on battery power, the other which includes a 647cc two-cylinder rear-mounted petrol engine that powers an electrical generator to charge the batteries - but does not power

the vehicle.

Driving range is a major factor with electric vehicles and the battery-only i3 BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) comes with three drive modes.

For everyday driving comfort mode allows up to 160 km from a single charge; Eco Pro adds around 20km to the range but reduces air conditioning;

There are a number of charging options varying from 11 hours for a full charge through a standard domestic 10-amp power point; six hours via a BMW i Wallbox accessory, approximately $1750 plus installation; down to just 30 minutes at a DC fast charging station of which there are currently two in Melbourne and one in Sydney.

The tiny 650cc petrol engine, which is sourced from a BMW Motorrad scooter, is located beneath the boot floor and generates up to 28 kW of power. It can be operated manually through the BMW iDrive

and Eco Pro+ which runs minimum air con power and also sets a maximum speed of 90 km/h (which can be over-ridden if necessary) but can travel up to 200km.

By fitting the optional range extender engine (REX) range can be increased to around 300km again by using the Eco Pro+ mode.

The eDrive electric motor is powered by a 360-volt lithiumion battery pack containing 96 cells within eight modules.

It can generate up to 125 kW of power and 250 Nm of, instantaneous, torque that’s sent to the rear wheels.
