 Security on high alert as terror clampdown marks historic commemorations...

Defiant Anzac

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD and CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS POLICE were armed at Anzac Day services throughout Casey on Saturday as thousands of people came to honour the fallen, undaunted by an alleged terrorist plot targeting services in Melbourne’s south-east.

Only a week after details of the alleged terrorist attack surfaced, the Casey community gathered throughout Berwick, Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Pearcedale, and Tooradin to commemorate the special centenary of the Gallipoli landing.

Twenty-four hours before Anzac Day, British police charged a 14-year-old UK boy with trying to incite beheadings and attacks on Australian Anzac Day commemoration services.

The charges came after officers swooped on five Casey teenagers in morning raids on Saturday 18 April following a tip-off from British police.

A 200-strong joint state and federal police counter-terrorism team executed seven search warrants in Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Hallam and Eumemmerring as part of Operation Rising.

As a result Harun Causevic of Hampton Park and Sevdet Ramdan Besim of Hallam were charged with conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts.

A Narre Warren man, 18, is facing prohibited weapons charges. He was released on bail.

Two other Narre Warren men, aged 18 and 19, were released without charge.

Reports have linked the three charged teenagers with Springvale’s Al-Furqan Islamic Centre in Springvale South, the same centre attended by Numan Haider who stabbed police and was shot dead outside Endeavour Hills Police Station last year.

On Wednesday Al-Furquan announced it

Found Luke is a survivor

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD RACHEL Shambrook’s voice trembles just slightly when the Narre Warren mother recalls the moment she was told her son Luke was alive.

But it’s the falter in Rachel’s voice which says so much more than words ever could.

“I stepped outside the tent and the policeman was just standing there and, fortunately, and I mean this in all sincerity, he didn’t give me too long to wonder why he was back again and just straight away he said ‘they’ve got him, and he’s OK’,” she said.

“If he’d given me any longer to think about it I would have been expecting, at that point, bad news.

“He had this look of sheer happiness on his face that finally he could come and say they’d found him.”

Luke’s smiling face has been broadcast worldwide since the 11-year-old was miraculously rescued after going missing in bushland near Lake Eildon for four nights over Easter.

On Wednesday a special function was held at Victoria’s Parliament House where Rachel and her husband, Tim, formally thanked the more than 100 people who helped search for Luke.

Premier Daniel Andrews was also at the event to praise those involved with the rescue effort.

Every Easter Luke and his family - Rachel, Tim, and his younger siblings Matthew and Lauren - stay with relatives and friends at the Candlebark camping area in the Lake Eildon National Park for the long weekend.

The Shambrooks arrived at the camping ground on Thursday afternoon and had breakfast with Luke the next day, but later on Friday morning the young boy took it upon himself to go on an adventure.

Rachel and Tim Shambrook put loving arms around their 11-year-old son Luke, who was found after being lost by himself in bushland for four nights.

“He’s very familiar with the whole place and what we do there,” Rachel said.

“We have our standard set of walks that we routinely do because we love the place so much.

“Our best guess is he woke in the morning and started his normal routine of getting dressed and having breakfast outside the tent then it suddenly occurred to him, he hadn’t been for his walk.

“Our best guess, given that he can’t tell us why he left, is that he took it upon himself to go.”

Luke’s ordeal is a memory now but those four nights were the longest of Rachel and Tim’s lives.

His mother said one of the most difficult moments was calling out Luke’s name and hearing nothing back as Tim and Rachel continued to search for their child long after night had fallen.

“The first night and the last night

were probably the hardest,” Rachel said.

“When we got to the night-time, there was that realisation that he was going to be out there, he was going to be by himself.

“We knew he wouldn’t have any food or water and when we sat down to tea and went to bed ourselves, that was when it really hit the hardest.

“And then the new day would start and simply because it was a new day

there was that sense of, just maybe today.

“Then the next night came.”

But each morning Rachel and Tim woke again to search for Luke, drawing on their inner strength as much for Matthew, 10, and Lauren, 7, as for themselves.

Rachel, who has been pivotal in setting up the Casey Cardinia Sibling Support group, is passionate about looking after siblings of children with a disability.

“They (Matthew and Lauren) were very mindful of everything that was going on, we couldn’t shelter them from it completely and we didn’t want to but we were conscious they needed some sense of normality each day,” Rachel said.

And on the Monday hope was once again rekindled when Luke’s beanie was found.

The Shambrooks said they had been blown away by the number of volunteers who had given up their time to join the rescue effort, including friends from the Berwick Church of Christ and other networks in Casey, even strangers from throughout Victoria.

One man told Tim he hitched two rides from Warragul to help look for Luke.

Rachel, who was also involved heavily in the push to open the Specialist School in Officer, is still marvelling at Luke’s resilience, which saw his journey end safely in the care of doctors at the Royal Children’s Hospital.

While it’s nearly unfathomable to imagine what Rachel, Tim and their children have gone through at the start of this month, there may be a phrase that fits.

Next to the Shambrooks’ front door in Narre Warren is a plaque bearing three words.

“Home sweet home“.

Saner counsel must prevail helped avert a terrible act.

“If it is true, we surely must grapple more with how to prevent our young people from being so badly radicalised. Passionate young men in their late teens or early twenties are so full of energy, zeal, and a desire to change the world.

“To have those good qualities funnelled into terrible pathways is tragic. How can we best channel that kind of passion into good pathways?

“Things that seek to do good in the world, not harm? That seek to bless others, not curse them? We feel for the parents and friends of these young men.

“We want them to know we are grieving with them, and

praying for them. And we know that what these young men were alleged to be plotting is not reflective of the high ideals of Islam.

“Doing evil and randomly hurting others is not the religion of Australian Muslims.

“It is as horrid to our Muslim neighbours as it is to the rest of the community.

“Please do not stereotype your Muslim neighbours because of the tragic alleged extremism of some idealistic and misdirected young men.

“We have a wonderful multicultural community. Let us not allow incidents like this to undermine it.”

Sin bin for blaze dare

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN who caused Fountain Gate shopping centre to be evacuated after setting a bin full of cardboard on fire as a dare has been ordered by a court to apologise to its management.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told that 20-year-old Shane Simpson, who pleaded guilty to the arson on 20 September, was dared by a young friend to start the blaze.

“Given it was a windy day, he didn’t think it would take,” the lawyer said. “But it did.”

The unemployed man, who lives with and cares for his dementia-afflicted grandmother, “scrimped and saved” $450 to replace the damaged bin prior to his court appearance, the lawyer said.

Simpson had had to overcome a host of difficulties such as an unusually “small stature” which was caused by a cyst on his

brain as a child, the court was told.

Simpson harboured hope of working in Canada, his lawyer said.

“Hopefully not in any national parks,” magistrate Gerard Bryant quipped.

Mr Bryant said Simpson had to “have a backbone to stand up to stupid people who attempt to lead you astray”.

“It’s one of those classic scenarios when his age belies his mentality.

“Clearly it’s a capricious and stupid

act which could have had more ramifications.”

Mr Bryant said he hoped Simpson didn’t get a “thrill or a kick” out of starting the fire.

“I’ll put this down to a childish and immature act.”

Simpson was put on a 12-month good behaviour bond with the condition that he apologised.

Soccer surge help kicks off for clubs

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY council will set up a special soccer committee to help struggling clubs in the municipality.

Earlier this month the council carried a motion for the Casey Association Football (Soccer) Reference Committee to be established by September this year, with meetings to be held twice a month.

The motion was raised by Four Oaks councillor Rafal Kaplon in response to the “overwhelming pleas” by representatives from clubs in his ward for extra resources to support the “skyrocketing” growth of European football in the area.

He said many soccer clubs in Casey were already using multiple reserves to cater for their growing playing lists and the council had now run out of allocation space.

“Clubs are struggling to access enough oval sites due to the large numbers of players and teams they already have, and have already had to turn players back,” Cr Kaplon said.

Cr Kaplon said Berwick City Soc-

cer Club, Endeavour Sporting Club and Endeavour United Soccer Club had been left with no choice but to turn players away.

“An Afghan community club wanted to set up in Casey and a Romanian club wanted to relocate to Endeavour Hills from Knox City Council but we haven’t been able to accommodate any new teams in the north of the municipality,” he said.

“The truth is the whole Melbourne Metro Region is suffering a shortage of soccer facilities and Casey will be hardest hit with its booming population.

“Therefore it was my sincere belief that the best approach forward is through a pro-active rather than reactive process where council and the community can approach these issues together from a joint perspective.”

Casey councillors Rafal Kaplon, Rosalie Crestani, Susan Serey and Amanda Stapledon will be appointed to the reference committee.

For more information, contact Casey Council on 9705 5200.

Girl breaks away from Doveton kidnap bid A TEENAGE girl managed to escape into a nearby park after a man tried to take her from a Doveton bus stop this month.

The girl was standing at the Kidds Road bus stop about 10.15am on Wednesday 15 April near the intersection of Sheoak Street when a small silver 4WD stopped in front of her and the male driver inside offered her a lift.

When the girl refused, the man got out of the car and grabbed the victim’s arm but the girl broke free and fled into the nearby park.

It’s believed the offender got back into the car and drove off. The victim did not sustain any injuries and no weapons were produced.

The offender is described as Middle Eastern in appearance, approximately 160cm tall, with short black hair, and was wearing a brown coloured V-neck T-shirt at the time and spoke with an Arabic accent.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

A NINE-YEAR-OLD girl has gone all the way to Casey Council to have a dog park introduced to the municipality so her two pet huskies have somewhere safe to roam.

Angelina Whinney-Smith submitted a 46-signature petition and a heartfelt letter to the council this month calling for a dog park to be set up in the municipality.

Councillor Rosalie Crestani presented the petition to the council - which will look into the concept - and read out Angelina’s letter.

Angelina, in Grade 4, wrote that she wanted an area in Casey she could take her two huskies to, Blizzard and Leiha, without worrying they would run off.

“I think the community could benefit from this because it gives dogs the chance to safely run around and be free. This makes the dogs and owners happy,” Angelina wrote.

“Lots of families can go and play there together with their dogs. We have two dogs, they are huskies, and we can’t let them off the lead or they run away.

“I think lots of people would have dogs like this too, but a big playground like this would mean that those dogs have a safe lead free park, too.”

Angelina’s mother, Jemma, said as far as she knew there no specific dog parks in the municipality.

Jemma said her daughter’s dog park idea had grown from research into a school project,

in which she learned that there were 27,832 registered dogs in Casey.

“They were given a project where they had to think of a concept or community service that they could either initiate or improve,” Jemma said.

“I prompted her and asked what she (Angelina) was most passionate about and she said animals.

“So we settled on something to do with animals and we tossed and turned with a few ideas and it led us to this.”

Angelina, who wants to be a vet when she grows up, wrote that she envisaged the park having an exercise playground for dogs, complete with tunnels, hurdles and ramps.

Radical centre closes

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE closure of Al-Furqan Islamic Centre in Springvale South will reduce the risk of young men and teenagers being radicalised but “we can’t rest on our laurels”, says a terrorism expert.

The centre announced its closure on Wednesday in the run-up to Dandenong’s Anzac Day services at which police said they would be armed following heightened terrorism fears.

The concerns come after police arrested five men in the region on 18 April following a tip-off from British police about a plan to attack Anzac Day services.

Professor Greg Barton of Monash University’s Global Terrorism Research Centre said there were not many alternative “extremist, fundamentalist” hubs outside of Al-Furqan to lure “relatively normal” young men as potential Islamic State recruits.

“Its closure is a good thing. It was contributing to the problem. It didn’t drive the radicalisation by itself but fed into that in a way that was destructive.

“Whatever the intention of those leading it was, the sub-culture at AlFurqan was an exception to the rule.

“It was a concern to the wider Muslim community.

“It’s not only an embarrassment to the community but a real threat.”

Shelves were emptied and signs at the Al-Furqan centre were stripped away after it announced its immediate closure due to “harassment, pressure and false accusations” on Wednesday night.

In a statement on its website, the centre announced it was “the best course of action for the protection of

the local community, its members, and the broader Muslim community”.

Reports had linked the three teenage men charged over the raids - as well as Numan Haider who stabbed police and was shot outside Endeavour Hills Police Station last year - with Al-Furqan.

The centre described the claims as “unfounded and misleading”.

Prof Barton described the radicalisation of young men and teenagers as a fast-moving crisis.

“We can’t rest on our laurels.

“Islamic State was getting actively involved, investing in these young people with friendships, giving them self-esteem, a sense of belonging.

“These young people have legitimate questions about why things are the way they are in the world.

“They are given black-and-white answers.”

Prof Barton said despite multiculturalism’s “positive story” in the south-east, “we are not doing very well” at positively engaging at-risk youth.

He said the police’s “good” relationships with the community was also under strain after the shooting death of Abdul Numan Haider at Endeavour Hills Police Station last September and the recent arrests under Operation Rising.

Prof Barton said young people bound for Syria who were denied passports or stopped at the airport needed to be “followed up in a systematic and consistent way”.

Last week IS recruiter Neil Prakash called on young people via an online video to follow Mr Haider’s precedent, who was denied a passport before his doomed attack on police.

plot was to run over police officers at several Anzac Day services and attack them with an edged weapon.

The officers’ firearms were then to be used in a shooting rampage.

A TEEN is on the run following a pursuit in Dandenong that ended with a police car being rammed.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Glen Cruse said a stolen car was involved in a hit-run with another vehicle in Langhorne Street about 12.45am on Sunday 19 April.

Police located the car travelling in Gerard Street a short time later and tried to intercept it but the driver refused to stop.

Det Sgt Cruse said the vehicle drove into a police car in Cooma Court and its three occupants fled on foot.

The police Air Wing and Dog Squad assisted during the pursuit and helped to locate two boys near the scene.

Police charged a 15-year-old and 16-year-old, both from Dandenong North, with theft of a motor vehicle, conduct endangering life, leaving the scene of an accident and other related offences.

They were bailed to appear at Dandenong Children’s Court at a later date.

Police are still searching for a third teen.

Brick business was family foundation stone 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 ORDISH ROAD, NAMED AFTER ONE OF THE DANDENONG’S FIRST INDUSTRIAL FAMILIES. WILLIAM Percival Ordish was one of Dandenong’s pioneering business identities.

When he died in 1930, the Frankston and Somerville Standard paid tribute to Mr Ordish and his entrepreneurial spirit.

“Mr Ordish, who lived at Dandenong, set out one day with a barrow and a shovel to prospect for clay. In what was then a large open paddock on Stud Road, he found that for which he sought, and the digging of that first barrow load of clay laid the foundation stone of what was destined to become a flourishing business.”

From humble beginnings in the early 1890s, the business flourished when Mr Ordish secured a contract to supply bricks to the Victorian Railways.

It eventually became the best-known fire-brick manufacturer in Victoria.

“Today it is one of the leading industries of Dandenong, and no travel-

WHAT’S IN A NAME? ler along Stud Road has passed without being impressed by the great line of kilns which have grown upon that spot where a young man delved for his first barrow load of clay.”

The Ordish Fire Brick Company became a family business, with William’s son Rowland and then grandson Joseph also among the Ordishes to work there.

Rowland had two sons Thomas and Joseph. Tragically, their mother died when the boys were very young and the siblings were separated, with Joe sent to live with family friends, the Fosters.

Joe attended Dandenong Primary School. He worked in the family busi-

The Ordish Fire Brick Company circa 1900.

Picture: Dandenong and District Historical Society ness before volunteering for World War 1. He enlisted on 2 February 1916.

He was 21 years old. He served on the Western Front in France and Belgium.

He was wounded in action at

Amiens on 8 Aug 1918. He re-joined his unit on 3 November 1918, just weeks before the war ended.

Joe returned to Australia in June 1919. He married wife Florence in

1919 and set up home in McPherson Street. Joe died in 1961.

Journal columnist Jack Johnson remembers visiting Joe and Florence’s home as a boy in the 1930s.

“Their house in McPherson Street was on a corner and used to go there when we were little kids.

“They had a fabulous cactus garden and rockery that went around the whole front of house.

“They used to quite often put on open days raising money for the hospital. People would pay a penny to go in there.“ William Ordish sold his business in 1922 but the works continued production to about 1975.

50 years ago 21 April 1965 £543 from ‘Barrow Push’ The traditional “Good Friday Barrow Push” from Dande-

nong to Melbourne raised a record £543 for the Royal Children’s Hospital this year.

The barrow push was organised by the Dandenong Lions’ Club and the Dodgers Basketball Club as a special effort to raise money for the children’s hospital.

It got its initial “push off” from the Mayor of Dandenong, Cr Maurie Jarvis, on Good Friday morning and collected donations all the way from here to Melbourne.

Last year’s effort raised £390 for the hospital.

Karina, a Year 11 student and a junior legatee nominated by Melbourne Legacy, was one of 32 young people who took part in the nine-day cruise under the guidance of

a professional crew.

The Alma Doepel was a transport ship in the South Pacific area in World War II and has been restored as a three-masted topsail schooner.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… GREATER Dandenong SES volunteers were among those to heed the call for help from New South Wales last week.

The two members and about 50 others from Victoria made a five-day trip north on Wednesday to tackle flood the damage.

“They’re basically going up with rooftop skills and chainsaw skills and they’ll be assisting with the magnitude of jobs outstanding,” unit spokeswoman Libby Arnold said.

“It’s a once in a decade sort of storm, especially for NSW and something you’d more often than not see in a tropical climate.”

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday heard the case of a young man booked for speeding at 118km/h in an 80 km/h zone in Springvale. His lawyer told the court his client - who had been licensed for only two and a half months - had at the time become “absent-minded” while following a woman behind the wheel of another car.

After police intercepted the man, the pursued woman pulled over, offered the accused a lift home - and the rest is history. She loyally sat by as the man was ordered to pay a $300 donation and attend a road-trauma awareness course on top of six demerit points.

The 52-year-old guard from Lyndhurst suffered facial injuries that required medical treatment.

The attacker was described as Caucasian, aged in his early thirties and about 180cm tall with a thin build.

At the time of the assault he was wearing a blue and white checked shirt, blue faded jeans, black skate shoes, a black cap and sunglasses.

A GANG brandishing metal poles and driving a white van has struck twice in 20 minutes in Greater Dandenong.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Glen Cruse said a 20-year-old Noble Park man was walking south along Dunblane Road, Springvale, about 5.10am on Wednesday 15 April when a white van approached.

A man of Islander appearance, aged about 20 with a large build and a baseball cap, got out and punched the victim in the face.

Det Sgt Cruse said three other men, of African appearance and aged in their early twenties, also got out of the van and began striking the victim’s head and legs with metal poles.

They took his bag and mobile phone during the attack and fled the scene in the van.

About 20 minutes later the same van approached a 55-year-old Dandenong woman waiting at bus stop on Stud Road.

A man of African appearance aged in his twenties got out of the van, went up to the woman, pulled her handbag from her shoulder and ran back to the van. Det Sgt Cruse said witnesses provided a partial registration for the van, which police determined had been stolen from outside an address in Heatherton a few days earlier. Officers recovered the vehicle on James Street, Dandenong, on 15 April.

A FRANTIC mum went to the Dandenong Police Station counter on 15 April living every parent’s worst nightmare - her daughter was missing.

Natalie Ann Van Damme suffers from Down syndrome and was due to return to her home in Hawdon Street, Dandenong North about 4pm.

First Constable Bianca McKay said Natalie caught a bus from a care centre in Walker Street, Dandenong, about 3pm.

“She normally catches the bus straight home from school.

She has a pretty strict routine,” she said.

But the 22-year-old had got on the wrong bus.

Officers put the word out to patrols, gave PSOs from Dandenong Railway Station Natalie’s photograph and contacted the bus company.

“They gave us a location where someone had got off the bus because they were on the wrong bus,” First Const McKay said. “We thought it was her. That gave us a location of Heatherton Road and EastLink.”

They called nearby businesses and hospitals and when Natalie’s parents said she was scared of the dark searched areas with lighting, including schools and fish and chip shops.

First Const McKay eventually clocked off for the day but couldn’t switch off.

“All I could picture was her sitting there crying somewhere,” she said.

“She’s obviously quite vulnerable and it was getting later and darker and cold.”

She woke up to check her phone for news throughout the night and was delighted to find in the morning that Natalie was

safe and sound.

“She’d stayed on the wrong bus until she got to Waverley Gardens,” she said.

About 1am security guards checked her proof of age card and called Natalie’s mum, listed on the back as her emergency contact.

The family paid a visit to those involved in the search the next morning, and Natalie promised to call triple zero if she ever landed in a similar situation.

“She’d made us a thank you card and brought in chocolates,” First Const McKay said.

“Every day there’s missing people. You do get those incidents that touch you.

“It’s nice to have a happy ending. I’m just glad that she was found.

“She was worth the trouble, she was a sweetie.”

Mental care opens up

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD MENTAL well-being is a topic that needs to be discussed regularly and openly, according to Narre Warren Lions Club president Lorraine Riches.

This is a big reason why Ms Riches helped organise a special information session on depression at the Casey Council chambers last Thursday night in conjunction with the Narre Warren Lions Club and beyondblue and supported by local and state politicians.

The Pakenham and Endeavour Hills Lions Clubs, and the Berwick Lionesses also lent their support to the event.

It comes as beyondblue and the Lions Clubs of Australia joined forces last year to create the Joining Hands initiative, a project which will focus on raising awareness around anxiety and depression.

The Casey event included presentations from guest speaker Tony Wynd, Monash Health representatives and Ms Riches herself - who reflected on her late mother’s battle with depression.

“I think it is very crucial, very vital, to get out there that you don’t have to be a health professional to get out and talk about it,” Ms Riches said after the event.

“The Federal Government organises RUOK day, but instead of just one day in September, let’s make it every day.”

Working as a nurse, Lorraine said she continually saw how depression and anxiety could leave victims helpless and not know-

ing where to turn.

“Some people are left almost catatonic, and they can’t function,” she said.

“Others just go through the motions.”

The gold coin donations raised from the event will all go towards Beyondblue.

“Even some people feel alone within their own families and are reluctant to speak to anyone,” Lorraine said.

“Everyone’s been touched by

knowing somebody with anxiety or depression in their lives.

“And with the stigma and their response, sometimes you just don’t how to approach them.”

Lions is one of the largest service clubs in the world, with more than 1400 clubs across Australia. The volunteer organisation helps the needy and assists in emergencies, while also supporting children in various school projects.

The Narre Warren group gets together on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Narre Warren Senior Citizens Centre at 7.30pm.

Road rage driver hits car with hammer NARRE Warren police are appealing for witnesses after reports of a man driving erratically, tailgating and striking a Lexus with a hammer on the Monash Freeway on Thursday 23 April.

The silver 2010 Toyota Rukus was driving outbound near Heatherton Road about 3.15pm.

Police were told the car began to tailgate a white Lexus and then stopped in front of it.

The driver then got out of his car and began hitting the Lexus with a hammer.

It is reported the man got back into his car and continued driving onto the South Gippsland Highway and onto the Westernport Highway.

Police intercepted the vehicle on the Westernport Highway.

The 23-year-old man did not comply with police direction and was subsequently arrested at the scene.

The Carrum Downs man was released a short time later pending further inquiries.

The male driver of the Lexus was not injured during the incident.

Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015 Call of duty for soldiers in pain

A

GLIMPSE of the dangers faced by the medical corps during World War I was clearly conveyed in a letter from the front from a Dandenong medic.

On 5 October 1916 the Journal printed a letter from Private Alan Titcher, who served with the medical corps in France, sent to his father R.A Titcher of Dandenong.

“We heard there were some of our wounded lying out in No Man’s Land, which is the space between our trenches and the Huns,” Private Titcher wrote.

“One of our doctors wanted to take a party out to see if we could get any of them.

“I volunteered, but the authorities would not allow us to go as they considered that it meant certain death for us to go over the parapet.

“I felt it was my duty to go out and do what I could.

“It was wonderful to see the way our boys bore the pain of their dressing. Never a murmur from any one of them!”

Families of fallen get pensions

N

EWSPAPERS were key to the recruiting effort in Victoria during World War I. The frontlines in Turkey and Europe needed a continual supply of new soldiers to replace those killed and wounded.

On 28 October 1915, the South Bourke and Mornington Journal, which at the time also circulated to what is now the City of Casey, reported on the pensions payable to widows on the “death of member of the forces, or to a member on total incapacity”.

Sons and daughters of Anzac

Dandenong RSL official piper Ian Arrell.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

E

NDEAVOUR Hills cenotaph hosted one of its strongest recent turnouts at Wednesday’s Anzac Day service.

A 100-strong throng of dignitaries, veterans, students and other onlookers stood in respectful silence for the service staged by Dandenong-Cranbourne RSL Sub-branch.

Carolyne Pettit, an Anzac Day regular of Narre Warren, watched her 310 Regional Cadet Unit daughter stand as part of the cenotaph guard.

She says she cast her thoughts at her late father-in-law - a former active member of Dandenong RSL and “proud” march flag-bearer - and her grandfather - who served in the navy during World War I. Another Vietnam veteran - his chest gleaming with medals - said he remembered his military comrades.

“It’s important as a day of remembrance for everyone. There should be more of it.”

Senior Sergeant Phil Byrne, Holt MP Anthony Byrne, Casey Police Inspector Paul Breen, and Rob Wilson.

New kid in town

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD DOVETON’S most famous goat has given birth to a successor.

Myuna Farm’s Tinkerbelle the goat, whose inspiring survival story touched the hearts and minds of the Casey community a year and a half ago, gave birth to a healthy female kid earlier this month.

“I’m sure many of those who followed Tinkerbelle’s story would be excited to hear that she is doing so well and has now welcomed a new kid of her own, fathered by a purebred Mellan goat named Galahad,” Casey Mayor Mick Morland said.

“The difference in the size and health of Tinkerbelle and her daughter when they were born is incredible.

“Both mother and daughter are doing extremely well and Tinkerbelle’s natural mothering skills have been remarkable, with the baby already up walking, feeding and playing.

“Tinkerbelle’s daughter will live at Myuna Farm until she is ready to be weaned at about five to six months old, at which time Myuna Farm will endeavour to find a loving family to provide her with a new home.”

Tinkerbelle was born as a triplet in November 2013 but while her siblings were healthy and strong she was the runt of the three.

Tinkerbelle was born tiny, was unable to stand and did not even have the strength to drink.

The committed members of staff at

Myuna Farm, particularly farm officer Deb Andrews, took Tinkerbelle under their wings to ensure her survival and she went from strength to strength.

From day one, Ms Andrews took Tinkerbelle home every night and bottle-fed her every two hours, around the clock, using her mother’s milk.

In those early days, Tinkerbelle went everywhere with Ms Andrews including out to the market in a bag and visiting friends for dinner in the evenings.

Visit Myuna Farm at 182 Kidds Road, Doveton, between 10am and 4pm daily, to meet Tinkerbelle and her new bub.

For more information, visit www. casey.vic.gov.au/myunafarm or follow Myuna Farm on Facebook.

Wasp report stings council into action

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD MORE than 50 wasp sightings in Casey have been referred to pest controllers over a threemonth period in 2015, compared to less than 10 in the same period last year, a council investigation has shown.

At a council meeting on Tuesday night, Councillor Amanda Stapledon said there had been 91 wasp reports and 17 bee reports to the council from 1 January to 31 March 2015, compared to six wasp reports and nine bee reports in the same three-month period for 2014.

Not all these reports were referred to pest controllers.

The data was compiled by council officers after Cr Stapledon earlier this month moved for Casey Council to prepare a report on the prevalence of European wasps in Casey, including the number of reported incidents in recent months, their sighted locations, and potential reasons for the “wasp invasion”.

The statistics indicated Berwick had the highest number of reported wasp sighting from 1 January to 31 March, 2015, with 18 reports.

Narre Warren had 17 reports and Cranbourne was next with 11.

Due to the increased wasp activity, Cr Stapledon said the council would look into implementing extra measures to curb the rise.

“I’ve never had wasps in my home until now,” Cr Stapledon said.

“I would like to see a decline.”

There were 28 wasp nest reports in Casey for the three-month 2015 period, compared to two reports the year before.

“I want to make sure our residents are safe and identify if there’s a European wasp in their home or area,” Cr Stapledon said earlier this month.

“It’s not our jurisdiction on eradication but we need to inform people on the issue.”

While cold winters in Europe see that only the queen wasp survives, it’s understood Australia’s warmer winters allow entire wasp nests to remain intact.

La Trobe MP Jason Wood last month sought more than $1 million in federal funding towards a biological solution to limit the pests.

He sought the help of staff from the parliamentary library who have since been researching the seeming increase of European wasps not only in eastern and south-eastern Victoria, but also parts of Tasmania, New South Wales and Western Australia.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Jobs come to life

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

Making an active connection

A HALLAM-based youth employment group has been commended by a local State MP this month.

Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan applauded Youth Works Victoria in Hallam for its range of training courses reimplemented for 2015, including the Diploma of Community Services Work.

Initiatives like the Dead Centre Program are also particularly designed to target local youths in the municipality who have lost a balance in their lives and helps to assist them in re-engaging with their family, educators, and the community.

“Youth Works have continued to prevent disengaged youths from falling through the cracks and it’s wonderful to see these young men and women find a sense of direction through the excellent support provided by the staff,” Mr Donnellan said.

Last year Youth Works Victoria CEO Claude Olivares spoke to the News about youth employment levels in Casey getting worse and his mission to prevent young students from becoming more and more disengaged.

“There are so many young people who have left school early or have been unable to complete further study or training that are now finding themselves unable to find work,” he said.

“We are doing all we can to educate, train and empower these young people but there are always more looking for help.

A JOB seeker service will itself generate four new jobs in Narre Warren, seven in Cranbourne and 14 in Dandenong and Springvale.

New Job Prospects program Jobactive was successful in a Department of Employment tender process for employment services.

Its five-year contract will officially start on 1 July and will result in 19 new offices across Victoria, including Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Dandenong and Springvale.

The employment services provider is a division of not for profit education, employment and youth services organisation SYC. Job Prospects last year helped more than 36,000 people to find work and thousands of employers to find the right people for their businesses.

SYC Victorian operations manager Andrew Titley said the contract was a testament to Job Prospects’ track record.

“We’re committed to offering a quality service to local employers and job seekers here and are eager to open our doors.“ Job Prospects was established in South Australia in 1995 and came to Melbourne in 2009.

Mark Watson, Temese Leilua, Claude Olivares and Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan. 137525 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS “These kids need our help, they need our guidance and more must be done to ensure they have the same opportunities as anyone else.”

Youth Works provides a range of programs and services

for the youth of Casey to become qualified for future work.

Mr Olivares said one of the biggest current issues in Casey was students dropping out several years before completing their VCE.

“The biggest problem is too many kids dropping out of Year 9 and Year 10 and we have a huge problem with a lot of Pacific Islander youth that are completely disengaged,” he said.

“There’s no agency or re-

sources out there to help them and they fall through the cracks.”

Health kitchen food strike serves up a sour taste

By CASEY NEILL MONASH Health has refused to confirm whether it threw away food left unattended during a kitchen strike last week - or served it up to patients.

Health Workers Union (HWU) members walked off the job on Wednesday 22 April at the Kingston facility that produces meals for hospitals across the south east, including Dandenong and Casey.

Union Secretary Diana Asmar said

the move followed months of health and safety complaints that had “fallen on deaf ears”.

“We’ve got members that have to prepare food from sub-zero temperatures in freezers because there’s simply not enough room,” she said.

HWU officials told the Journal that workers walked away from the kitchen between 10.30am and 2.30pm.

“No one was allowed to touch the food. The majority of the food prep was left in an open room for over three

hours,” a spokesman said.

“In terms of food handling guidelines, generally it’s about 90 minutes.

“This is the danger zone in terms of food contamination, especially salmonella.”

He said the kitchen prepared about 9000 meals on an average day but Wednesdays was a ‘double production’ day.

He said about 40 per cent of the day’s food was left sitting out during

the strike - more than 7000 meals.

“If you start giving patients food that hasn’t been prepared properly... then vulnerable patients could die,” Ms Asmar said.

Monash Health spokeswoman Holly Gilligan said the hospital group “had to throw out a small amount of food in accordance with our strict food hygiene guidelines”.

She would not confirm how much food was affected or how the hospitals covered any shortfall in meals.

“The safety of our patients and our staff is and continues to be Monash Health’s first priority, all food produced was produced in line with our approved Food Safety Plan,” Ms Gilligan said.

“There was no impact at Dandenong Hospital, Casey Hospital or any other Monash Health site, all patients received their regular meals.

“Our kitchen staff remained on-site during this time.”

Hands on to build a career

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH THE South East Local Learning and Employment Network and the City of Casey put together a successful and hands-on Careers Expo and Try a Trade event on Tuesday 21 April.

“It was fantastic - we had around 3200 students attend with a big range of different exhibits, half of them being interactive,” work placement co-ordinator at South East Local Learning and Employment Network Mandy Stevens said.

Students from schools throughout Casey and Cardinia had the chance to make pizza, roll dough, make ice cream, rock climb, plaster and lay bricks as well as planting plants as part of the horticulture exhibits, and sit on army trucks.

Ms Stevens has worked with the expo since it started six years ago and said 400 students

attended in year one.

“Every year it’s grown and we really tried to make this an interactive expo.

“If it’s more engaged the students remember more and we had lots of giveaways, it’s an exciting day for all the students from Year 9 to Year 12,” she said.

Along with interactive activities, universities and TAFE providers were available to speak with students about courses and the day offered information on music, design, health, community services and local councillors were also present.

“Councillors were talking to students about jobs within the council and we had both local mayors, Cr Mick Morland and Cr Leticia Wilmot, come along and a short film was made to go on the council’s website,” Ms Stevens said.

The annual event is set to

continue to grow, Ms Stevens said.

“A lot of kids don’t like travelling into the city and they miss out on the careers expos, it’s great that we have all these providers coming out to the south-east for our kids.”

Ms Stevens said even locals who had seen the event being advertised came along.

“Next year it will be bigger and better, we are hoping to get more sponsors and even more room to fit more activities and hire marquees for more exhibits,” she said.

Ms Stevens said the hospitality exhibits are always a big hit as well as fixing the motors in the automotive exhibit. “The day gives kids the opportunity to try things before they choose a course and find out what’s available and they get to make more informed decisions,” she said.

ELF-DESCRIBED “young veteran” Lance-Corporal Scott May’s thoughts went beyond Gallipoli on Anzac Day. The Pakenham physiotherapist spent much of the day pondering his comrades while he was deployed as an Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV) crewman gunner in Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2008.

He said a US nurse killed during a mortar attack 100 metres from his ASLAV in Baghdad in 2007 left an “everlasting impression” though they “met for only the briefest of moments”.

“On Anzac Day, you do find yourself casting your mind back to things that happened.

“There were a couple of incidents in Iraq where people were injured, particularly the American nurse.”

He’s also got a wider mission to help and recognise Australia’s returned soldiers - many of whom are under 40.

He said many suffer from loneliness caused by the posttrauma stress of war.

Scott, his brother Chris and colleague Sven Thomson are seeking a major sponsor for their Young Veterans group which is convening an Anzac centennial convoy of three exmilitary Land Rovers across Australia this year.

The trucks were bought for $30,000 by Dandenong Cranbourne RSL. Its president John Wells said it was the young veterans’ right to seek help from the RSL. “The important thing about their rally is it includes young veterans, Vietnam vets, civilians, RSL staff - it’s a mixture

“

We all have struggled.

We all have issues and know what it’s like...

of all sorts of people sitting around the campfire talking.

“What we’re about is getting the young veterans into the mainstream and the social inclusivity of feeling they have mates.

“If you pull on the boots, you’re part of the one club.”

The rally will run from the Australian mainland’s southernmost point at Wilsons Promontory to the northernmost tip of Queensland, Cooktown.

Their trailers have recently been converted by members of Akoonah Men’s Shed in Berwick.

Plenty of veterans are willing to drive the trucks, and further to tack on behind the convoy.

“The potential sponsors are going to have coverage. On the road, we get a lot of attention… a lot are staring at these trucks.

“RSL House wants to reach out to these veterans.

“They are keen for this to happen.”

Scott knows from experience how hard it is to re-adjust to civilian life.

He discharged himself from duty suffering from depression and fatigue.

On his return to Australia, he felt separated by a “gulf” from his wife and workmates.

He tells of friends who became un-contactable, just “dropped off the grid” to find

SCOTT MAY themselves and too many of them have committed suicide on their return, he said.

“We just want to reach out to young guys, for them to seek further assistance.

“We all have struggled.

“We all have issues and know what it’s like.”

As a military history buff, Scott knows “more than most” about the Gallipoli campaign 100 years ago.

He said his view was shaped as a “contemporary veteran” expert in combat in the Middle East.

“I don’t think of myself as an Anzac fighting in the trenches of World War I but as a custodian of the Anzac spirit, tradition and history.”

The day should focus on Australian veterans’ sacrifices through numerous campaigns and battles beyond Gallipoli, he said.

There are oft-forgotten victories such as Australian troops capturing the French village of Villers-Bretonneux in their first successful night attack - which coincided with Anzac Day 1918.

He said the day is rightfully “a period of mourning, a reflection for those who didn’t come home”. It shouldn’t be a “day for going out to party”.

Anyone who can help or sponsor the Young Veterans rally is urged to email YoungVeterans@rslvic.com.au.

Method 1. Beat the butter, sugar and rind with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the flour and tea leaves and mix until it comes together. Turn out onto a floured surface and lightly knead into a ball. Split the dough into two balls.

2. Roll each ball of dough out between two sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Using a small sharp knife cut dough into small teabag shapes. Using a spatula, carefully lift biscuits onto a lined oven tray. Using a skewer poke a small hole into the top of each teabag for the string. Bake at 160°C for 12-15 minutes or until a light golden colour. Cool on a wire rack.

3. Combine icing sugar, lemon rind and juice and water until smooth. Dip half of each cookie into icing and place on a wire rack to set.

Zigzag to licence loss

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN’S lengthy list of mitigating excuses in court last week made no difference to his mandatory four-year loss of licence for driving under the influence.

Sandhiren Sungalee had been seen travelling about 40 km/h - half the speed limit - as he veered his silver station-wagon across lanes on a straight stretch of Princes Highway, Dandenong, about 11.28pm on 6 December.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told last Monday that during his zigzagging crawl, Sungalee stopped at a green light at the intersection of South Gippsland Highway.

Sungalee - who had a zeroalcohol condition on his licence was unable to blow into a breathtesting machine at the time.

A later blood sample recorded an alcohol reading of .167 - more than three times the legal limit.

The accused told police at

the time that he had thought the effects of a “few” earlier drinks would have been “gone” by the time he drove his car.

Sungalee raised in court several mitigating arguments included being on medication to deter him from drinking since 2013, not drinking for the past year – though his offence was last December – being both long and short-sighted and driving his car slowly at the time.

Magistrate Gerard Bryant

told Sungalee on Monday: “You shouldn’t have had any alcohol at all in your system.

“You weren’t even close to double-zero (blood-alcohol). Not within cooee.

“That shows a distinct lack of judgement on your behalf.”

Sungalee pleaded for a reduction on the mandatory minimum four-year loss of licence - issued because of his prior conviction for a .114 reading in 2009.

On that occasion, he was off the road for nine months and subsequently lost his job, he told the court.

“Your convenience comes second to public safety,” Mr Bryant retorted.

“You don’t strike me as someone with a great deal of insight into your drinking or the dangers of drink-driving.”

Sungalee was also fined $1200 and ordered to attend a drink-driving awareness course.

Giant red poppies to remember

E-

WART CHAMBERS

GIANT red poppies adorn the lawn at Dandenong Civic Square as a symbol of peace and hope.

People from the Greater Dandenong community created the flowers at Poppies for Peace workshops and helped to ‘plant’ them on Tuesday 21 April in time for Anzac Day. They’ll travel across the municipality throughout the year, with the final display coinciding with Remembrance Day on 11 November.

The flower featured in World War I poem In Flanders Fields, which described the striking blooms growing over soldiers’ graves in Belgium.

Since 1921 it has been used to commemorate soldiers who have died in war.

IN BRIEF Bomb alarm A BOMB hoax caused a complete evacuation of Dandenong Railway Station on Saturday.

“In this environment it’s not ideal,” Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Glen Cruse said.

“It just goes to creating more angst in the community.”

Det Sgt Cruse said a man called triple zero with a threat against the station from a public telephone booth in Foster Street, Dandenong, about 9.20pm on 18 April.

Police evacuated and locked down the station and cleared the surrounding area.

Det Sgt Cruse said no bomb was located and transit detectives were investigating.

A MAN was knocked unconscious and robbed while walking through central Dandenong with friends on a Friday night.

He was with friends near James and Gerard streets about 10.40pm on 17 April when someone struck him from behind, knocking him out.

The attacker then stole his wallet and phone.

An ambulance took him to Dandenong Hospital with lacerations and swelling to his head.

A SEA of faces representing all corners of the globe was unmoved by the steady stream of rain that fell throughout the Dandenong Anzac Day service on Saturday morning.

Concerns about a possible terror attack also failed to dampen the thousands-strong crowd, though reminders were all around them.

Police closed Clow Street between Stud Road and Princes Highway, blocking entry from side streets and Dandenong Plaza.

Officers in fluorescent yellow vests - bullet proof vests protruding from beneath them were at every turn, as were many colleagues in plain clothes.

But the focus remained on remembering the Australian soldiers who stormed the beaches of Gallipoli in an ill-fated mission exactly 100 years ago.

HMAS Cerberus’s Commander John Goss and his wife Commander Janine Goss shared guest speaking duties and told the crowd about the role the Australian Navy played in the landing.

“Their legacy is the inspiration which they still give to succeeding generations,” she said.

“For a century we have

drawn courage from them.

“All of us owe the original 1915 Anzacs and those who served after them respect and remembrance.”

Sahar Ramazani laid a wreath for the Association of Australian Students from Afghanistan, the first time the Dandenong group had taken part in the service.

“I’m an Australian Citizen,” she said.

“Today I felt more like an Australian.”

Five-year-old Sydney marched alongside her father Sean and grandfather Jim, a National Serviceman, to honour her great, great, great, great uncle William Henry Powell, who was killed in action in France in 1918.

Alister Stanley’s father served in World War II and he proudly wore his medals.

Beneath them he pinned a 1914-20 British War Medal he bought in a second hand store that belonged to a soldier he knows nothing about.

“I’m wearing it to honour him,” Mr Stanley said.

Charles Edward Leigh enlisted in Dandenong in 1917 and died in France on 31 May 1918.

His niece Maryanne Jackson

and her husband David travelled from Korumburra to attend the service, clutching his photograph and a scroll commemorating his sacrifice.

They’ll reunite with his descendants at Dandenong RSL on the anniversary of his death.

Keysborough Turkish Islamic and Cultural Centre president Ekrem Ozyurek presented the RSL with a framed copy of the moving letter former Turkish president Mustafa Kemal Atatürk presented to Australian, New Zealand and British officials in 1934.

“Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.

After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well,” it reads in part.

Earlier in the day, the Dandenong dawn service crowd doubled from last year to about 1500 people.

At the commemoration, Dandenong-based mental health service ‘Ermha’ laid a wreath containing felt poppies its Stepping Stones’ program participants made.

They also wrote heartfelt messages for service men and women in cards adorned with poppies which will be displayed in the Dandenong RSL.

Star destroyed by war

Sergeant John Walker

By JARROD POTTER

“J

WALKER had an off day.”

No one would have though at the Berwick Shire News this innocuous jab at an up-andcoming talent would be the last football report written about Dandenong’s John ‘Jack’ Walker, who died in service during World War I. Those six, simple words – which summed up the Dandenong forward’s Berwick and District Football Association grand final performance in 1914 – were not a strong showing for the man who had excelled at the Dandenong Showgrounds in 1913 and 1914.

Usually highlighted in each week’s edition of the South Bourke and Mornington Journal (a predecessor of the Dandenong Journal), most supporters, coaches and players would have expected the strapping, Brighton-born man to return from the front and continue on as a league footballer or lawyer.

But such was the extent of the Great War – which claimed brave men from either side indiscriminately – that “one of the bright stars in the constellation of Dandenong footballers” flickered and faded away in 1916.

1914’s showpiece match – the ‘challenge’ grand final between Dandenong and Pakenham - was not a fitting end to Walker’s football journey, but sadly for all gathered, it would be the last time they saw Jack Walker on a football field.

Pakenham defeated the powerful Dandenong line-up twice – first in the second semi-final, then again in the grand final as Walker’s men fell by four points in a nail-biting finale.

Walker had joined Dandenong after he tried his hand at league football three years earlier – heading down to the Junc-

“

Those who faced the task in the beginning, and were killed, did their duty...

JOHN WALKER

tion Oval to join up with St Kilda for a bid at some early league fame.

From his four matches for the red, white and black brigade – Walker kicked a goal apiece against Geelong and Fitzroy respectively in 1911, but his time in league football was short.

He moved to Dandenong to take up with the Redlegs and also pursue his law studies - but with a superb kick, and the chance of returning to the city to take up a law practice, who knows what could have been in Walker’s football career had war not intervened.

He was also a champion cricketer – as so many grand footballers of the time were –leading the batting averages for the East Melbourne Cricket Club in 1912-’13.

At the Dandenong Football Club’s 1914 annual meeting, Walker was acknowledged alongside his other enlisting team-mates – with 15 swapping their Dandenong strip for Australian service uniforms.

His mastery of the pen was almost as skilful as his moves on the football field as the budding law student captivated his family and friends – and subsequently the wider community – with his letters from the front.

He eulogised lost team-mates in a letter published in the Journal on 26 August 1915, when faced with the grief of losing his football field and battlefield brethren – well-loved Dandenong siblings, the Couve brothers.

“Those who faced the task in the beginning, and were killed, did their duty and died like men. Even I, who am not a military expert, can vouch for that,” Walker wrote.

Walker rose to the rank of Sergeant and advanced as an infantryman in the 8th Battalion through Gallipoli and Western Europe.

His biggest, and most notable correspondence, was printed in the Journal in October 1915 where he described how he and other Dandenong area soldiers were faring at Gaba Tepe - as part of Anzac Cove at Gallipoli and the joy of reading about home.

“I received a bundle of three or four ‘Journals’ last week and passed them on to Jim Kennedy, etc. They all look forward to Dandenong papers and are very glad to receive them,” Walker said.

“I am glad to hear that lots of Dandenong men have enlisted since the great recruiting campaign and, of course, there are plenty on their way here, but I hope we’ll finish off the Turk before they get here, and meet the last lot on our way back.”

After withdrawing from the failed task in Turkey, just before Christmas 1915, another half-year was all Walker, like so many Australian men, had left on Earth.

He perished in Pozieres in July 1916 – a campaign of immense scale and equal parts tragedy at the Somme on the Western Front.

The last letter received about Jack Walker was sadly addressed to his father – Mr William Henry Walker – stating his son had made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.

“Walker – who was educated at the Melbourne Grammar School, was a first class athlete, having played pennant cricket with the East Melbourne team,

and league football with St Kilda,” The Journal report read.

“During his residence in Dandenong, he was a prominent member of the local cricket and football teams and was a general favourite with all sections of the community.“ “Sgt Walker served at Gallipoli and afterwards France.”

His memory was honoured by the

footballers – who all wished he could be there to rove the packs and snap impressive goals – as “the locals wore armbands out of respect for the late Sergeant Jack Walker,” reported by the Journal in September 1916.

He was one of 92 VFL (now AFL) players who gave their lives in World War I, honoured around the grounds on Saturday.

Hills prodigy’s thrill of back-to-back accolades

By JARROD POTTER IT’S BEEN an amazing week for footballer Ellie Blackburn with the Endeavour Hills prodigy picking up two prized accolades back-to-back.

Blackburn, 20, was delisted by her beloved Melbourne ahead of this year’s AFL Women’s Draft, with key position players prioritised over the skilful midfielder/forward.

Blackburn didn’t have to wait long to re-join the AFL ranks, though, as she was taken at pick six in the 2014 Women’s AFL Draft, held on Monday night.

Blackburn was taken again

by Melbourne - after featuring for the Demons in both Women’s AFL matches since her debut in 2013 - coming on the back of her best match yet on the AFL stage.

Snaring 27 touches and in the Demons’ 46-point belting of the Bulldogs last year,

Blackburn was the top possession-getter on the field and was considered dreadfully unlucky to be delisted by the Demons.

She was thrilled to get back into the AFL and thought the chance to feature in two matches this season, with the first held at the MCG on Sunday 24 May and the second clash on 16 August at Etihad Stadium, dramatically boost the profile of women’s football in Australia.

“I’m very excited about it - been a big couple of days for us out at Melbourne Uni with the draft and the win on Sunday,” Blackburn said.

“I was pretty shocked to go that high up, but I was sitting there and I was relieved in the end - sitting there and hearing my name called out was a big sigh of relief, and excited to be part of Melbourne again.

“It’s really good that we get the opportunity to play on

both of the big grounds and, hopefully, show our talent and get away with the win.”

The Women’s AFL matches will serve as curtain-raisers before Melbourne/Western Bulldogs AFL fixtures.

Capping off the successful week was a thrilling 19-point win over reigning champions Darebin in the Victorian Women’s Football League.

“It was an amazing feeling to knock off the unbeatables,” Blackburn said.

“It pretty much felt like we won a grand final - the first time our club has beaten Darebin since 2006.

“I think the game we played was just a hard game overall and there were a couple of times they could have got on top of us and we worked pretty hard not to let it happen.”

Ellie thanked her parents and Melbourne Uni Football Club for their support.

Melbourne made sure it locked away champion midfielder Ellie Blackburn for another season at the AFL Women’s Draft on Monday.

SPORT EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 1 - Round 3

Done deal…

By JARROD POTTER THIS was not a battle, nor was it a skirmish, charge, raid or siege.

We celebrate the grandeur of football in these terms, as hard bodies fly off each other in pursuit of the red leather, but all Noble Park and Norwood did was square off in a game of football, no more, no less.

Australia-wide, we stopped as a nation Saturday to celebrate the bigger picture.

We highlight and celebrate the stellar achievements of men and women who squared off against far greater enemies in the real battles on the fronts of war.

Before a season-defining matchup, Norwood and Noble Park put aside their burgeoning rivalry - even if only for a brief moment - to honour our Anzac forefathers and foremothers.

After the solemn, dignified respect was paid, the scene was set for what may be a finals’ preview between two powerhouse EFL squads.

Kyle Martin was emphatic in the first quarter, booting five goals at full forward to leave the reigning premiers Norwood scratching its head on how to stop him.

As it turns out though, Noble Park was pretty effective at stopping its own run-and-carry, as entries to the forward half were sloppy and resulted in countless turnovers.

Norwood on the other hand kept it simple - two kicks from defence to hit up the tall forwards. It was a winning tactic as Leigh Williams and Brent English (five goals each) proved superb in the Wooders’ forward arc.

Not even the resolute defending of Stewart Kemperman, Jarrod Plymin and Trent Robertson could halt the Wooders’ march as the Bulls’ efforts soon fell apart.

A two-goal lead at the final break

was erased effortlessly as the Wooders flew through to kick four goals in four minutes and storm home to a 20-point victory.

Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty said recruiting his fantastic squad didn’t make the Bulls a done-deal in the premiership race and it showed on Saturday there’s still plenty left to tick off.

“Full credit to Norwood, they were just too good for us in that last quarter,” Fogarty said.

“Today was a really good test and I’m actually pretty happy about the way we performed against last year’s premiers.

“People seem to think that just because Noble Park has got back Martin, Valenti, Harper… we’ve got Ziggy Alwan and big Vergim Faik… they seem to think that’s a done deal now… we’re good enough to play off for a premiership.

“But the realistic thing is that we have a lot of hard work to do - we expect to have a good year, but it’s an insult to the other good sides that made finals and Norwood won a grand final last year.”

Fogarty summed up the occasion best of all, as the ability to live peacefully and play sport is a gift passed down to current Australians from our hard-fighting brethren of past and present wars.

“Fantastic day and we’re lucky to be able to play on this day because of them (Anzacs),” Fogarty said.

“So if it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t be here, so we’re grateful for what they did for our country.”

Noble Park hosts Knox this weekend for a chance to bounce back to the top spot in EFL Division 1.

Not!

Kyle Martin starred early for Noble Park, booting five goals in the opening term. 138170

Stingrays revel in northern heat FLYING out with an ANZAC Day victory in tow, Dandenong Stingrays made the most of their trip to Queensland beating the northerners 10.9 (69) to 7.13 (55).

Getting a chance to feature on ANZAC Day - a rare occasion in TAC Cup football - the Stingrays made the most of their time on the big stage in a fast-paced opening term.

kicking that proved its downfall.

The sunshine state had 20 shots on goal, but it wasn’t enough to take the triumph against Dandenong’s more efficient 19 forward forays.

James Freeman (two goals) hit the scoreboard squarely for the Stingrays as Dandenong booted three in the final term to take the points and return home triumphant after another successful interstate sojourn.

Jacob Weitering, Bailey Rice,

Brandon White and Tom Jok all featured in the best alongside Young while up-and-coming ruckman Jayden Bubb had his best match in the Stingrays’ colours.

The only downside to the victory was a nasty knee-injury to Liam Myatt - who has a suspected ACL tear and could miss the rest of the season.

Dandenong faces NSW/ACT next week at Shepley Oval from 11am.

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE Division 1 - Round 3 NORWOOD 14.6 (90) NOBLE PARK 10.10 (70)

THE move to SFL is paying off handsomely for Keysborough, with its 15-point win over Hampton rocketing the Burra to the top of Division 2.

In tough conditions at Rowley Allan Reserve, the Burra held their nerve to hunt down the visitors, who took a nine-point lead at the half.

Only three-behinds flew through the sticks in a rough-and-tumble last term, but Keysborough was able to hold its lead to post its third win in as many SFL matches.

Tyson King (five goals), Geoff Humphreys and Cameron Dalton were best afield as Keysborough now heads to Caulfield on Saturday in a first-versus-third showdown.

Springvale Districts’ slow start bit them on the behind once again as Heatherton flew out of the blocks to inflict a 19-point loss.

If only some of their six first-quarter behinds were converted into goals then the Demons would have stood a chance, but giving a 25-point margin by quarter-time rarely bodes well for a side. Despite chasing all match, Districts continued to fight as James Gough (three goals), Peter Heng (two goals) and Brad Dight shone brightest for the visitors. The Demons’ wayward kicking would prove lethal in the end as Heatherton maximised its scoring chances.

Doveton Eagles falls to last place in Division 2 following a 69-point hammering by Skye.

LOSSES as far as the eye can see greeted Dandenong-area SFL Division 3 teams on Saturday as Lyndale, Dandenong, Endeavour Hills and Sandown were all vanquished in the rain.

Sandown, 4.9 (33), could have used next week’s star recruit - Brendan Fevola - this week as it could not kick a winning tally against Ashwood 14.10 (94). The Cobras will open their change rooms and new-look pavilion on Saturday and face Lyndale with the former AFL super-boot ready to kick a bag at Edinburgh Reserve.

Endeavour Hills tasted its first loss in 2015 as Carrum Patterson Lakes took a 39-point triumph. The Falcons were led by Shane Peake (five goals) while Shannon Rainey and Nathan Strom also excelled.

Lyndale failed to impress in its 42-point loss to Mount Waverley, despite Brett Tosh and Trent Isbister working hard across the field.

Dandenong suffered a 49-point defeat at the hands of South Yarra, plummeting the Redlegs to dead last in Division 3.

VAFA DIVISION 2- Round 3 STORMING home to mount its case for a VAFA premiership, St John’s brushed aside South Melbourne Districts in a 171-point demolition.

From the first bounce the JOCs were in control and it only got worse from there for the Swans as Ben McGee’s men ran circles around the visitors.

A nine-goal second term - led by Aaron Thornton (seven goals), Kane Arnold (six goals) and Rohan Scott (five goals) spelled the end for South Melbourne Districts before the pain was amplified even further.

The only downside for St John’s - despite the ebullient win - was its kicking conversion as 25 behinds remains far too many for a side with premiership aspirations.

Skipper Glenn Costas - with a casual four goals to his name as well - was best afield while Scott and Liam O’Connor also featured prominently.

Sitting second with three wins and a healthy percentage of 247.02, St John’s faces Elsternwick away on Saturday.

Pirates singing up a storm

Twice as Dandy

By JARROD POTTER

Parkmore Pirates celebrate a hard-fought victory in its South East Juniors Youth Girls Pictures: JARROD POTTER debut. 137847

By JARROD POTTER THE only thing Parkmore Pirates Youth Girls football team really need to work on… is the club song.

The Royal Blues were sensational in their South East Juniors Youth Girls debut last week - an amazing feat considering they were short on numbers and only a handful of their squad had ever played football before.

On a freezing Saturday morning at Fountain Gate’s Max Pawsey Reserve, the Pirates exceeded all expectations as they ran up the scoreboard and got to belt out the club song for the first time after a 58-point win over Tooradin-Dalmore.

A five-goal opening term set the tempo for the Pirates as the hail, driving rain and

gale-force winds buffeted the south-east.

April Lega-Frost showed she’s a natural at the code, slotting six goals on debut, while Charis Ulu Peniata was prominent in a free-flowing midfield role.

While the girls didn’t know all the words to their theme song, the Pirates still savoured the impressive 11.4 (70) to 2.0 (12) triumph.

With few experienced players, coach Michael Sheahan was extremely impressed with his fledgling football side and the way they’ve taken to the sport.

“We’ve only got three that have played before and one of them isn’t playing today, so we’re very pleased with what they’ve done,” Sheahan said.

With a pair of Vic Metro

reps out of the side and star Stingray Karina Diaz sidelined, chances are the Pirates are set to soar even further in its first South East Juniors campaign.

The side only has 15 girls in the squad so plenty of opportunities exist for young ladies aged 13 to 18 to play female football. Sheahan encouraged anyone in the Greater Dandenong area who was interested in football to come along to the Parkmore Pirates.

“Come down - give it a go - we’re here for fun and we’re a club that just wants to give people a go,” Sheahan said.

More information on Parkmore’s Youth Girls team is available on the club’s website - www.parkmorejfc.com.au Parkmore Pirates next face Officer on Sunday morning.

THE traditional ANZAC Day SEABL blockbuster between Dandenong and Frankston showed with a double-Dandy triumph.

Fighting their way back into the clash, the Dandenong men stole the match from under Frankston’s nose with a 44-28 second half fight back to register a five-point victory.

Leading the charge was Chris Patton (21 points, 10 rebounds) as he excelled in his best match to date in the Dandenong strip. Also on fire were Daequon Montreal (17 points, 10 rebounds) and the rebounding machine known as Lucas Walker (8 points, 17 rebounds).

Dandenong men face Mt Gambier at home from 7pm Saturday.

Pushing aside the Frankston fortress first were the Dandenong women, who claimed a 70-66 triumph.

Jacinta Kennedy (22 points, 10 rebounds) flew out of the blocks for the women in the first match of the double-card, but was reeled in by a groupdefensive effort from Frankston.

It only opened up the Rangers’ other avenues to the basket as Amelia Todhunter (13 points) and Tenaya Phillips (10 points) lit it up.

Dandenong women head to Canberra on Saturday to face Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence.

BIG V Division 2 - Round 6 FLEXING its muscles in BIG V Division 2, Keysborough cantered home to an 85-56 win over newcomers Collingwood.

Going easy on the new boys - despite the 29-point score line disparity - Keysborough coach Nathan Vogt rotated his bench and gave his starters well-earned rests... but not before dominating on the scoreboard.

Best of the brigade were Andrew Pattison (17 points, 9 rebounds) and David Smith (12 points, 7 rebounds) while Malcolm Heard (9 points, 5 rebounds) was powerful in his very limited time

Dandenong mainstay Clare Papavs flicks off a quick pass in the Rangers’ four-point Anzac Day win over Frankston. 138172 Picture: JARROD POTTER on court.

Even the big Oyster, Robert Ostojic (4 points) got minutes in Keysborough’s rampaging victory.

Keysborough’s women were downed 51-78

by Blackburn as Emily Rider (10 points, 11 rebounds) dropped her first double-double in the Cougars’ colours.

Keysborough men and women face Mornington this weekend away from 6pm.

It’s another starry night Fernando

By JASON ADAMS FERNANDO Bale blitzed his rivals for the second consecutive week at Sandown Park on Thursday evening and will start as the short favourite in this week’s Group 3 Bill Collins Memorial.

In typical Fernando Bale fashion, he exploded from box 5 to set an electric 4.93 to the first split before he stopping the clock at an astonishing 18.36 to the second marker - breaking the record jointly held by champions Black Magic Opal and Xylia Allen - by 2.5 lengths.

He completed the 515m journey in 29.04, the third

fastest time ever recorded at Sandown Park.

RSN racecaller James Van de Maat was effusive in his praise of Fernando Bale.

“I’ve never seen a greyhound travel that quick in the six years I’ve been calling greyhound racing,” Van de Maat said.

“To break any type of record by the smallest of margins is significant enough, but to break it by two-anda-half lengths at Australia’s premier track is incredible.”

Van de Maat, who called Bekim Bale’s track record 28.96 run in 2011 believes Fernando Bale’s run on

Thursday was more impressive.

“To run the sectionals he did in that type of field, in my opinion it was more impressive than Bekim Bale’s record run,” he said.

Fernando Bale’s next assignment will be next week’s Bill Collins Memorial which is shaping to be one of the great races of modern times with the possibility of superstars Dyna Villa, Dyna Double One and My Bro Fabio all featuring in the $36,000 Group 3 event.

“This race has the potential to be better than any Melbourne or Australian Cup ran in recent times, however I

still think there’s no greyhound in the country that can match it with Fernando Bale,” Van de Maat said.

The Group 3 Bill Collins (515m) coincides with the Group 3 Racecallers (595m) and Group 3 Lizrene (715m), which will feature some of Australia’s finest chasers. The trio of Group 3 events kick off the club’s Sandown Cup carnival that includes the Group 1 Harrison Dawson and the Group 1 Sapphire Crown before culminating with world’s richest staying race, the $250,000 Group 1 RSN Sandown Cup on Thursday 21 May.

MOTORING True to the classic spirit

By DEREK OGDEN AH, those Italians. Back in 1923, race driver Ugo Sivocci slapped a green four-leaf clover on his ‘RL’ and drove it to victory in the first of Alfa Romeo’s 10 Targa Florio wins.

Since then, the ‘Quadrifoglio Verde’ has been the symbol of Alfa Romeo racing cars and later graced special road-going series.

Latest to take on the lucky charm is the Giulietta, marking the return of the pure Italian hot hatch.

The QV tops off an already refreshed Giulietta range that, with its not-to-be ignored styling, including all-new interiors, an exterior facelift and award-winning powertrains, brings unique Italian style and sophistication to the segment.

Available in three trim levels - Progression, Distinctive and the Quadrifoglio Verde hot hatch - from $29,000, plus on-road costs, it is the last that concerns us here.

The Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde is equipped with a new engine and is available with twin-clutch transmission and launch control. Alternatively, it can be had with a six-speed manual gearbox.

Alfa Romeo has also brought out a Launch Edition model, which enhances the sports car looks of the standard Quadrifoglio Verde TCT by adding carbon-fibre mirror covers, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and a sports body kit which comprises distinctive new side skirts, a

front air dam and a rear diffuser.

Combined with the new gloss black exterior highlights, the Giulietta QV Launch Edition is the ultimate Giulietta.

Just 500 examples will be built globally with 50, including the test vehicle, coming to Australia priced from $45,000, plus on-roads.

The allocation consists of 25 units in Alfa Red and 25 in Launch Editionexclusive Matte Magnesio Grey.

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio exhibits a more planted stance than its siblings, while the legendary four-leaf clover emblem on the front wings, and dark-tinted rear window glass put the onlooker in no doubt as to the hatchback’s intent.

The car’s aggressive look is completed by two large exhaust tailpipes and 18-inch traditional Alfa turbinestyle alloy wheels, which refuse to hide the red, four-piston Brembo brake calipers and large 320mm brake discs.

Inside the cabin, quality materials and tasteful detail represent the ultimate in Italian style.

New wraparound sport seats, trimmed in leather and Alcantara with white and green stitching, offer firm yet comfortable security during the car’s showcasing its impressive performance.

The new leather wrapped flat-bottom sports steering wheel is trimmed in contrasting white stitching, enabling the driver to maintain a firm controlling grip, while also operating the spoke-mounted infotainment controls.

Model range

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV has the hallmarks of a well-cut, classic, three-button Italian suit.

Large aluminium pedals are positioned perfectly to offer the driver snappy foot shifting for a true sense of sporting action. A model-specific instrument panel is a mix of analogue and digital, and sports a built-in QV logo.

Signature QV kick-plates, darkened headlining with retractable sunshade over the sunroof, unique floor mats and a leather-trimmed gear lever and parking brake lever, with white and green contrast stitching, complete the interior décor.

A new Uconnect multimedia system incorporates a 6.5-inch touchscreen in the central dashboard and comes complete with Bluetooth interface, Aux-in connector, USB port and the option of voice commands. The 6.5-inch device

also has a satellite navigation system with progressive route guidance and ‘One Step Voice Entry Destination’ function for entering addresses with voice commands, developed in collaboration with Harman and Here Auto.

The Giulietta QV engine has been plucked from the Alfa Romeo 4C supercar, boasting cutting-edge technology including direct fuel injection, dual continuous variable valve timing, a turbocharger and a revolutionary scavenging control system which rules out turbo lag. Mated with a twin-clutch transmission, the 1750 Turbo Petrol aluminium-block engine delivers 177 kW at 5750 rpm and 340 Nm at 2000 rpm, the latter stable in the 2000-4000 rpm range, but is already 80 per cent on

Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV manual from $39,000 Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV TCT from $42,000 Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV TCT Launch Edition from $45,000

hand at just 1800 rpm.

TCT works in either all-automatic or sequential mode via the centre console-positioned gearshift, or steeringwheel mounted paddles.

The QV is also available with a sixspeed manual transmission capable of generating 173 kW and 340 Nm. The whole Giulietta range earned a five-star rating in crash tests, scoring 97 per cent for adult passenger protection.

An extra-special feature of the TCT Verde is the new Launch Control system, first employed on the Alfa 4C supercar. It is activated by pressing the brake and accelerator pedals flat to the floor, squeezing the down-shift paddle on the steering wheel and releasing the brakes.

It is so torquey we simply left the car in third gear while sprinting up Mount Glorious, the car pulling easily from lower revs out of sharp corners with no need to drop back to second gear.

Citroen has worked hard on the suspension and this is evident when taking on challenging roads where the DS 3 laps up the uneven surfaces and remains composed and hangs on hammering into and out of turns.

LAUNCHING the upgraded Citroen DS 3, Citroen Australia has announced it will bring in cars Australians want and will not compete to be the cheapest in the market.

The company also foreshadowed the DS brand would split from Citroen as a stand-alone brand, although this was some time away.

In this way DS cars would head in one direction - much like Lexus and Toyota or Infiniti and Nissan - and Citroen would pursue a different course.

Right now though the cars are sold side by side in more than 20 showrooms around Australia.

The upgraded DS 3 hits the street with just one model, the DSport, but in hatch or cabriolet style, both packed to the hilt with a long list of standard equipment.

The DS 3 DSport will set you back $33,990 while the cabriolet is $36,590.

Rivals are Audi A1, Mini-Cooper S and Alfa Romeo Mito.

At just 3.95 metres long it’s a city slicker that also eats highways.

The move to high-specification models only was prompted by buyers of the current DS 3 optioning up the current model to around $32,000 with all buyers in the past 18 months taking up satellite navigation and 17-inch alloy wheel options, among others.

The move has allowed Citroen to simplify the DS 3 line-up, yet still offer options for individualising the cars.

However, there is a downside to the upgraded DS 3 - at launch it only comes with a six speed manual transmission.

The four-speed auto sold overseas will not be brought to Australia with Citroen here stating the transmission is not what they were now prepared to sell on the Australian market.

Instead, it will wait for a more suitable auto to find its way into the DS 3, stating “we are determined to get our product right”.

The 2015 DS 3 has been taken to a new level with major improvements.

It now has Active City Brake - a crash avoidance system that brakes the car when it is in danger of a low-speed nose to tail collision at speeds up to 31km/h.

There’s a new Euro6 compliant 1.6 litre turbocharged, direct injection engine boasting 121 kW of power and 240 Nm of torque between 14004000 rpm, linked to the six-speed manual shifter.

This engine was developed by PSA and BMW and is currently also found in the Citroen Picasso.

DS 3 also has stop/start technology which Citroen says helps the car to achieve 5.6 litres per 100km fuel consumption.

Yes, like many cars that come from France, it is a little quirky.

There is only one cup holder in the entire car and the unusual “shark fin” B-pillar has the fin facing the back!

Then there’s the unusual vertical lift boot lid for the cabriolet.

It’s a bit of a challenge to get into, and out of the rear pew, but once in it’s a comfortable ride.
