“To provide better opportunities to these communities will take sustained effort and commitment on behalf of government, business, the community sector and the communities themselves.”

Jesuit Social Services CEO Julie Edwards said the disadvantaged communities didn’t have access to opportunities allowing them to flourish, like education, employment and safe and affordable housing.

“This report may be stark and confronting, but poses a challenge that we as a nation can rise to,” she said.

The report called for a multi-layered, co-operative and co-ordinated strategy owned and driven by the community.

“It must involve all layers of government and the business and community sectors, reflecting shared responsibility and joint commitment to resolve this entrenched problem,” the report said.

“Community leaders must be engaged to drive sustained change.

“Without such action, there is a significant risk that some of the country’s most severely disadvantaged communities will continue to ‘drop off the edge’.”

DOVETON is among the state’s seven most disadvantaged postcodes and in danger of ‘dropping off the edge’, a new report says.

Jesuit Social Services and Catholic Social Services Australia on Tuesday 21 July released Dropping off the Edge 2015, which maps disadvantage across the country based on 22 social indicators.

Doveton was in Band 1 – the most disadvantaged – in 2004, Band 2 in 2007 and this year returned to Band 1.

Dandenong this year featured in Band 4.

The report said a “web of disadvantage” made it almost impossible for residents to overcome their postcode and that community-led action was crucial to turn the trend around.

Catholic Social Services Australia CEO Marcelle Mogg said the most dominant factors in the most disadvantaged Victorian postcodes included unemployment, criminal convictions, disability, low education, child maltreatment, family violence and psychiatric admissions.

“These communities are not failing - Australia is failing these communities,” she said.

Salon left disgusted by sex wax shocker

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH THE Linden Place Hair Shop in Doveton will no longer take male ’walk-ins’ for waxing after an incident when a man exposed and touched himself prior to a leg wax.

Owner of the salon Lauren Hodgson said the incident left her in complete shock and fearful for other salons in the area.

“I was in disbelief that someone could be so disgusting and disrespectful, but I thought it was a bit weird when he asked for one leg to be waxed from the knee up to about footy shorts length,” Ms Hodgson said.

The man told Ms Hodgson he wanted to compare shaving results with waxing.

The incident occurred about 2.30pm on Wednesday 15 July.

When Ms Hodgson asked the

man to remove his trousers, she was surprised to see he wasn’t wearing underwear.

“I gave him a towel straight away and asked him to cover up which he did willingly and as I was getting the wax ready he was laying on the bed and I noticed one leg was already bald.

“I couldn’t tell if it had been waxed or shaved and as I went to check I saw him playing with himself.

“I asked him to please stop that and he said ‘what’ and I repeated myself and he said ‘I thought we had an understanding’.

“I told him to please stop and leave and I walked out and left him to get changed,” she explained.

Having worked and owned the Power Road salon for 16 years, Ms Hodgson said she has never

experienced an incident like this in the 16 years she has owned and worked in the Power Road salon and that she was concerned that the man may have tried it at other salons.

“Hairdressers and beauticians were warned about a man who was asking for waxing and exposing himself about eight years ago and when this happened it all came straight back to me and I thought maybe this is him.

“He may have shaved his own leg or tried it somewhere else and only got so far and finished it himself but I am so thankful my apprentice was at school yesterday,” she said.

Ms Hodgson said the man did not act aggressively towards her or her staff member but was worried what he might do next.

“He walked out and drove away - I am kicking myself for not getting his registration num-

ber but I was in such shock for about half an hour after.

“I called the police and reported the incident because I wouldn’t want this to happen to anyone else, especially an apprentice.

“There is a school just down the road and I was worried he might be capable of exposing himself because I knew he had no underwear on,” she said.

Since the incident Ms Hodgson has decided the salon will no longer take male walk-ins for waxing but she will continue to serve her current male clients.

“We waxed men regularly until yesterday,” she said.

The man was driving a small silver hatchback.

Anyone with further information is urged to contact Dandenong police on 9767 7444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Survey plans to make Myuna farm connect

By CASEY NEILL WHAT does having a job mean to a refugee?

“I’m happy,” was Dandenong man Hussain Bakhtiari’s simple response, a grin on his face.

CatholicCare guided him into employment at Cabrini Linen Service (CLS) in Dandenong South.

Tomasa Morales, the south eastern cluster team leader for CatholicCare’s refugee and settlement program, spoke out following the Dropping off the Edge report’s release.

“It’s very important to find employers who are willing to give a chance to newly-arrived families, who are willing to be mentors for them, to give them the opportunity to learn in the workplace,” she said.

“If you are at home doing nothing you lose interest in learning.”

Ms Morales pointed to Dandenong man Baqit Yazdani.

“Now that he’s working he knows that he needs to improve his English,” she said. “Now he’s come back to the men’s conversation group.”

CLS compliance manager Elsa Chung said workers learnt on the job and a buddy system helped them to gain experience and knowledge.

“It’s providing them with skills that they can take elsewhere,” she said.

“I think it makes them feel more comfortable that there are other people learning the language just as much as they are.

“It’s not about spoon-feeding them. It’s about providing the opportunity.”

CatholicCare CEO Father Joe Caddy said the organisation had been working in Doveton and Dandenong for several years.

“The findings of the report confirm what we have observed while working with families in these communities – their needs are complex and solutions are neither quick nor easy.

“We have found that the best outcomes have been achieved when we have worked in close partnership with local government and the community and business sectors.”

BRINGING hooves, snouts, tails and whiskers to Doveton for more than 20 years the Myuna Farm wants feedback.

The Touch of Farm Life visitor experience is under review by the City of Casey with a master plan aimed at improving what the farm has to offer.

A draft Myuna Farm master plan has been developed by the council but Mayor Mick Morland would like residents’ feedback to help improve the council’s strategy for the farm.

“The rapidly growing attendance numbers presents challenges that has required the council to develop a comprehensive plan to ensure the farm continues to meet the needs and expectations of the community in the future,” Cr Morland said.

Sustainability is at the core of the draft plan which looks at improving the farm’s connection with the Dandenong Creek trail and planting more shade and fruit trees around the space.

The council has proposed the design of a creative and integrated play space, the establishment of more informal open grassed

JACK JOHNSON IS THE AUTHOR OF WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES, A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN DANDENONG, HIS YEARS TENDING TO THE CITY’S PIPES AND DRAINS AS A PLUMBER AND BRINGING UP A FAMILY WITH WIFE FRANCES IN THEIR BELOVED HOME IN MACPHERSON STREET.

Old Bill’s bottles were a constant battle WHEN I was a boy nature strips were untended and householders put their beer bottles out on the long grass.

The bottles couldn’t be seen from the road and they knew we would collect them.

It also saved them embarrassment and the scorn of the temperance movement by not having to have the bottleO call to collect them with his horse and wagon.

My brother Nipper and I would go along McCrae and Langhorne streets with a gunny sack and collect the bottles.

We lugged them down to Old Bill the Bottle-Os in McCrae Street. The bottle-O bagged beer bottles in old wheat, bran or spud bags and stored them in his yard and sheds until the berwery or bottle makers called to pick

them up.

If the large beer bottles were in good condition we got a ha’penny each for them and at that time that was the only sized beer bottle made.

I did say Old Bill, but when we were kids we were never disrespectful of age. In the bottle-Os case ’old’ was a term of respect, even though, in great anger one day, Old Bill just missed leaving the imprint of his hobnail book on Nipper’s small arse after a failed bottle deal.

We had done our usual trek around the nature strips of town and had not found one bottle; not even a plonk bottle, which was worth nothing.

Being the small wheeler-dealer that he was, Nipper’s tiny mind was churning over ideas to get a few pennies now that the beer bottle production of the the nature strips had, like the grass, dried up.

Suddenly it came to him. Nipper shot off under the McCrae Street bridge to the back of the bottle-O’s yard.

He picked up four of the least chipped and cracked bottles from the heap at the back of the yard.

He shoved three into the gunny sack I was carrying and taking the one with the least number of chips, cleaned it as best he could.

He then headed back to the front gate of the bottle-O yard, trying hard to look as if we had just come down McCrae Street.

Old Bill was studying the racing form. Without taking his eyes off the racing guide he yelled loudly: “Go to the shithouse! They’re broken“.

That made me think he had been watching us since we first went up the drain.

To my amazement Nipper started another sales pitch.

Holding the chipped bottle up towards this fuming person he casually said: “But they are only chipped at the top. So you could cut the top off them.“ With this Old Bill yelled: “Now I am really going to kick your arse“ and leapt from the doorway.

Old Bill’s large boot missed the

threadbare seat of Nipper’s pants by a mere half inch.

We raced on past Kingsbury’s and Keatings’ houses and shot in behind the large cypress hedge of Smitty’s house, the home of another of Nipper’s mates.

As we caught our breath, incredibly the small wheeler dealer was already working out another way to get a few pennies.

“Well, we can’t go back to the bottle-Os, even if we find some beer bottles,“ I said.

He just mumbled something about next time we should take our sibiling and pretend we were from Dandenong West.

“Not me!“ I said. “Old Bill may not have the speed to catch us, but he is certainly not that stupid!“

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 29 July 1915 Off to the War On Sunday week the whole of the staff of the Dandenong Post Office (including Mr Field, ex postmaster) gathered together to make a presentation and say farewell to Mr Roy Crichton a member of the staff, who has enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces.

Mr J D Kinvig, postmaster congratulated Mr Crichton on the step he had taken. Mr Crichton was bravely going in a spirit of self sacrifice to fight for the Empire.

His (Mr Kinvig) reading had taught him that most of the benefits the world enjoyed were brought about by the self-sacrifice of great

men, and it was that same spirit that animated those who were going to help their country in its time of need.

He had known that their young friend would act as a true Australian, in all circumstances, and he trusted would return safe and sound to his old position in the office.

He referred to Mr Crichton’s thoroughness as an officer of the department and his courteous demeanour towards the public and his fellow officers.

After all present had added their eulogiums of their comrade, and best wishes for his safe return, Mr Kinvig, on behalf of those present, presented Mr Crichton with a wristlet watch, and hoped it might prove

First pleasure, then pain NO ONE takes drugs to feel worse.

This is how drug and alcohol expert Peter Wearne explained the internal reasoning of an addict.

Mr Wearne, director of the state-wide Youth Support Advocacy Service (YSAS), was the keynote speaker at Wednesday night’s Edrington Ward forum where police officers, including Casey Inspector Paul Breen, councillors Susan Serey and mayor Mick Morland, and a small number of residents turned up to discuss the impacts of crime in their suburbs - with a focus on illicit drugs and family violence.

After 39 years working in the illicit drug field, Mr Wearne has seen it all.

“It might be a myth that the drug will make them better, but they will feel better,” he said.

“So what do they want in that existential moment of taking the drug?

“They are seeking pleasure, and they are seeking relief, and they are seeking separation from what is ailing them.”

In the late ’90s, 99 per cent of all young people treated by YSAS suffered from heroin dependency.

Now it’s less than 15 per cent.

Mr Wearne said changing trends have seen alcohol, cannabis and ice become the three most common drugs for young people aged 10 to 25.

Though while the drug of choice has changed, the effects remain similar, if not amplified, when it comes to ice.

“When you take the drug, you empty the reservoir of chemicals that are in your brain so that when you go to use them tomorrow, they aren’t there,” Mr Wearne said.

“So what do people who use this drug experience? They experience what appears to be forms of clinical depression and sometimes psychotic symptomology.

“So if you use it more and more and more, it completely deregulates your ability to think and to act, to sleep, to eat, and to function.

“And then what you think is, you feel terrible, what am I going to do? Take more of the drug.”

But, as Mr Wearne makes it clear, he wouldn’t have stayed in his line of work for almost four decades if he hadn’t seen hope.

“People recover from drug misuse,” he said. “We see it every day of the week, otherwise, this is my 39th year doing this work.

“If I didn’t think it was

worthwhile, if people didn’t change, I just wouldn’t do it.”

Mayor Mick Morland turned the forum’s attention to the problem of family violence.

In the latest crime statistics the City of Casey recorded the highest number of family violence incidents of any local government area - 3759 incidents in the last 12 months.

Cr Morland said two women died from family violence every week “and every three hours a woman is admitted to a hospital because of family violence.”

The mayor then reflected on the tragic death of Phil Walsh, making a heart-felt point.

“Now the football community came together and if you watched all the football matches over a couple of weeks, you had half a million to a million people there who had a minute of silence for a person with family violence,” he said.

“And it was very touching, and as a football supporter I had a tear in my eye because you never want to see anyone pass away, and that was sad.

“But every week, two women are killed. No-one stands up for a minute’s silence for those women.”

The next forum will be for the Four Oaks Ward, at Southern Cross Primary School, David Collins Drive, Endeavour Hills, from 7pm to 9pm.

British boy pleads guilty at Old Bailey to Anzac Day terror plot THE 15-YEAR-OLD boy from Britain implicated in the foiled terror plot allegedly targeting Anzac Day services in Melbourne’s south-east has plead guilty.

It comes as a 16-year-old girl from the UK, also charged in relation to the plot, was granted bail on strict conditions.

The male teen pleaded guilty via video link at the Old Bailey last week to one count of inciting another person to carry out an attack at a service in Australia.

A second charge of inciting terrorism overseas in relation to beheading a person in Australia was dropped.

The boy, 14 at the time and from north-west England, was arrested in April when police intercepted encrypted conversation allegedly with an 18-yearold man in Australia. He was

remanded and will be sentenced in September.

The boy cannot be named for legal reasons.

Also in April 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 third teenager Mehran Azami, 19, of Narre Warren, was charged with importing weapons planned for use in the foiled plot.

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

month the 16-year-old girl from northern England was charged after she was implicated in the alleged terror plot.

The girl from Manchester has been charged with collecting or making a record of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing for an act of terrorism, or possessing a document or record containing information of that kind.

District Judge Howard Riddle released the girl on bail at Westminster Magistrates’ Court last week on the condition that she stay at a specific address, report regularly to police, observe a curfew and not leave the country or apply for international travel documents.

She is next due to appear at Manchester Youth Court in July.

Greek treats for saint celebrations

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH BAKLAVA, souvlaki and loukoumades took the limelight over the weekend as the Greek community of Dandenong celebrated Saint Panteleimon day and its deep roots.

For 56 years the Greek Orthodox Community of Dandenong and Districts has been teaching and embracing its and other cultures in the area and for the second time came together in celebration on Sunday.

Hundreds flocked to embrace the delicious treats on offer along with the tradition, at the Saint Panteleimon Greek Orthodox Church in Herbert Street, Dandenong.

Secretary at the church Greg Va-

gias said the event catered for everyone.

“There was traditional Greek food on offer, dancing, and of course the Zorba, a jumping castle for the kids and a stall with popcorn and fairy floss run by the churches after hour’s Greek school,” Mr Vagias said.

With a DJ, marquee and lots of full tummies, Mr Vagias said it was fantastic to see everyone embracing the festival.

“It brings the community together, not just the Greek community but the wider community and allows everyone to share in the multicultural environment - it’s blending of the Australian and Greek cultures and that’s pretty cool,” he said.

Dr Loizou has been treating leg veins of all types in the Narre Warren area for over 15 years.

Pushing up

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS JEMAL Abazi, as a man who has kept hundreds of young people on track, doesn’t ask for much.

His Albanian Eagles Youth Centre in Dandenong South has cost about $700,000 to run over the past four years but received “not a cent” of government money. It has been propped by family, friends but chiefly by Mr Abazi himself.

But he fears after 18 months of being “led on” by Greater Dandenong Council officers, the council is about to derail his plans to move to bigger headquarters, in a warehouse about 100 metres from the centre’s present site at 11 Bryants Road.

During that time, the suc-

cessful manufacturer said he has paid $140,000 in rent for the idle proposed site.

Tonight (Monday 27 July) Greater Dandenong councillors are set to decide on whether to approve the proposal.

Officers have recommended the move be refused because of concerns about a lack of parking and excessive of noise for surrounding residents.

Two residents objected, one a neighbour of the proposed new site.

He said the proposed site, which is an industrial one zone, could provide 30 on-site car spaces. Council officers had “underestimated” just a dozen spaces.

“They’re more concerned about parking than the welfare

of our children.”

Young people who drop into the centre are free to use the gym equipment, arcade games, a pool table, table tennis table, and are offered healthy hot food cooked by volunteers.

Mr Abazi said he could quickly drill down to a young person’s issue.

“I try to hold them here for as long as I can. We tire them out so they end up just going home.

Before this centre opened, we had a huge problem with drugs, hooning, alcohol, family issues - ice is the biggest.

“You saw kids identify themselves with young people going to jail. I said to myself we have to do something about this. There are now so many success stories.”

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… VCAL students at Carwatha College were touched by the wishes of five year old Gracie who died from leukaemia earlier this year and have joined her dream for fun during cancer treatments. Gracie s idea of a Shoebox Full of Fun in partnership with KOALA kids gives children in hospital something to open and play with in a compact, usable box they can keep at their bedside.

Sally Ross from the college said the students wanted to feel like they were doing something practical to help others.

THE Journal was a little puzzled by Minister Jane Garrett’s appearance in a recent State Government media release.

She’s the Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister but approved more

than $4.86 million for affordable housing projects, including one in Dandenong.

We’re wondering which portfolio this fell under?

A MAGISTRATE showed a light-sabre like wit on the bench last Monday.

A police prosecutor declared that an accused was facing a charge of making a false representation for “admission into the force”.

His Honour quipped an inquiry into whether the accused was seeking to join The Force as a Jedi Knight.

Better that than the Dark Side, we guess.

For the record, it was over an admission to the police force.

HERE’S a strange request for a person who was slapped with an intervention order.

Having been charged with assaulting a man, the accused asked if it was all right to name the ‘victim’ as a paedophile.

The magistrate, though tactfully saying he shouldn’t give any legal advice, suggested that would not be a wise move.

THE Journal is gearing up to mark 150 years since the first edition rolled off the press in August 1865.

A window display charting the history of the newspaper, which was first published as the South Bourke and Mornington Journal, will be opened tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Dandenong Library in Harmony Square.

The display features, among other things, a timeline of Dandenong and the Journal, legendary reporter Marg Stork’s Imperial typewriter, a copy of the paper from the 1800s and award-winning photographs snapped by Journal photographers.

The public can view the isplay until 17 August.

The Journal has also com-

E VOIC YOUR

0Y FOR 15 EARS

missioned a short film to mark the milestone which will be shown on the big screen in Harmony Square.

The screening of the film will co-incide with a special commemorative edition of the Journal on 10 August marking the historic milestone.

Editor Narelle Coulter said the special edition would pay tribute to the Journal’s rich history and the integral part it had played as the newspaper of record in the Dandenong region.

“The commemorative edition will be a keepsake that we

hope readers will treasure,“ said Ms Coulter.

“We have talked to lots of people who have had a connection with the Journal over the decades from former paper boys and girls to celebrities who grew up in the area.

“Not many newspapers reach the grand old age of 150, so it’s a very special milestone of which the whole community should be proud.“ Present and former Journal staff will reminisce at a staff reunion at the Dandenong Club on 10 August.

Anyone who worked for the Journal and who is interested in attending the reunion would be welcome and should contact Robyn Butler on 5941 2666 or email journal@starnewsgroup. com.au.

Racism’s dividing line

Car torched POLICE have put a call out for information after a stolen car was set on fire in Endeavour Hills last Saturday.

It’s believed the silver Mazda 6 was stolen in Berwick earlier that day before it was dumped in bushland off Churchill Park Drive and set alight.

The car, worth about $7000, was destroyed in the blaze.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY councillor Rosalie Crestani was the MC for Reclaim Australia's rally which turned violent when anti-Islam and anti-racism groups attempted to clash across police lines.

The anti-Islam group Reclaim Australia had roughly 50 protesters at its rally on Spring Street on Saturday 18 July, and its numbers grew when another 60-odd supporters from hard-line conservative group the United Patriots Front (UPF) joined the fray, with clashes between these groups and anti-racism protesters.

Police estimated roughly 500 protesters took to the city streets on Saturday 18 July but authorities made just four arrests – three for riotous behaviour and one person for punching a police horse.

Cr Crestani said she witnessed the violence but didn’t feel threatened.

In the days after the rally Cr Crestani distanced herself and Reclaim Australia from some of more extreme right-wing protesters, including a man with Nazi tattoos who joined the anti-Islam protesters.

“We can’t stop them from coming but that’s only one person amongst hundreds of us,” Cr Crestani said.

“He has his view. I don’t think he’s speaking the same language as we are and I think he’s actually on the wrong boat, so to speak.”

Cr Crestani said she took a high profile role at the rally because of her concerns about Islam.

Addressing the rally Cr Crestani said: “Freedom of religion does not mean we accept the fundamental ideas of Islam, which do not allow for other religions.

“So that is why Islam needs reforming or it needs to leave Australia”.

The two opposing crowds were separated by two police lines, with many protesters held back with pepper spray.

BRIEFLY

Drug driving A MAN has been caught in Dandenong driving an unregistered car without a licence.

The 32-year-old Upwey man was caught by police while driving erratically on the Princes Highway about 1am on Friday.

The man is also expected to be charged with drug driving after he returned a positive test.

His car has been impounded.

Dug out Rosalie Crestani was the MC for Reclaim Australia's city rally on Saturday. Inset: Cr Crestani stands with another protester.

Cr Crestani was joined at the rally by controversial pastor Danny Nalliah from Catch the Fire Ministries whose Rise Up Australia Party ran Cr Crestani as a candidate in last year’s state election.

Casey Mayor Mick Morland said Cr Crestani’s views were not a reflection of

the council’s views but noted it was her right to front the rally.

“I was surprised that she was fronting the rally but Rosalie is a person of her own convictions, and I know she did not advertise that she was from Casey council, she was there as an individual and

everyone has that right,” Cr Morland said.

“As an Australian, she has the right to speak her own mind and I applaud her for that, whether I agree with her views or not is a different thing.

“She did not represent the City of Casey, she represented herself.”

POLICE are on the hunt for an excavator and trailer which were stolen from a Commercial Drive equipment dealership in Dandenong South overnight on Wednesday.

The excavator's serial number is 22052 and trailer is V45821.

Colour is her world

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH COLOUR, paint, pastels and friends are just some of the things that keep Ann Atkin’s laughing regardless of the hardships she faces with Parkinson’s disease.

An artist and pioneer of Painting with Parkinson’s disease, Ms Atkin will be walking or rolling her way to the finish line at this years A Walk in the Park Parkinson’s Victoria fundraiser.

“I’ve been involved in the walk every year since it started, I find it a bit difficult with osteoarthritis in my feet but I’ll get the two kilometres done, I’ll pay someone to piggy back me if I have to, I’ll finish it no matter what even if I have to sit on my walker and get pushed,” Ms Atkin said.

The walk aims to raise $305,000 towards Parkinson’s research, something Ms Atkin believes is grossly under-funded by the Australian Government.

“On average 25 people a day are diagnosed with Parkinson’s in this state which gives us about 25,000 people suffering with it in Victoria and 80,000 in Australia – it’s considered to be an old person’s disease and we get very little money for research compared to a disease like multiple sclerosis,” she said.

So when Ms Atkin is not raising money for Parkinson’s disease research she is painting with her group of 12 Parkinson’s sufferers, eating too much morning tea and laughing about some of the things that could easily get one down.

“We do gentle exercises and dance movements while seated and then we paint,” she said.

Ms Atkin, from Hallam, said getting creative is very good for the

The Painting with Parkinson’s Disease group hard at work at the Old Cheese Factory. brain and helps to keep what neurons she has left healthy.

“Parkinson’s makes you more aware of creativity and it doesn’t have to be painting it can be sewing or crocheting or anything that you make – colour is very helpful, the medication and the condition of Parkinson’s makes you more aware of colour and most of the art work is very bright and vivid,” she said.

Starting the creative class close

to 10 years ago when Ms Atkin was diagnosed at age 55, the group has grown from just three people to 12 and Ms Atkin has helped start up groups in Essendon, Mount Martha and Warrnambool.

“Creativity, socialisation and exercise are three things that really help your medications work that little bit better and help you to cope better, it’s so nice to be around people who know how you feel and who don’t judge you when you spill

things, drop things, trip over and forget things,” she said.

The Painting with Parkinson’s disease group will be at the Fountain Gate Bunning’s Warehouse selling paintings, cards and cupcakes to raise money for a cure on the first Saturday of every month.

To donate to the art club and Parkinson’s Victoria call Ann Atkin on 0409 188 317 or visit www.parkinsonsvic.org.au.

Memories drawn back

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD TURKEY and Australia combined this month when the Turkish Vice Consul visited Casey and was presented with a special gift by Holt MP Anthony Byrne.

Mr Byrne last week presented Turkish Vice Consul Ersel Ozdemir with a painting from the recent Holt Anzac Centenary Fine Art Show, held earlier this month.

As part of the art show Mr Ozdemir was invited by Provenance Artists Inc, an art group based in Casey, to attend and was moved by a painting entitled ‘Compassion In War’ by Gabriele Jenkins, depicting an Australian soldier sharing a drink from a mug with a Turkish Solider at Gallipoli in World War I. “I am deeply honoured to meet with the Turkish Vice Consul Mr Ersel Ozdemir to present the ‘Compassion in War’ painting on behalf of the local community to the Consulate General of the Republic of

Turkey in Melbourne,” Mr Byrne said.

“The first military encounter of Turkey and Australia was on the battlefields of Canakkale, Galliopli, and this created a bond of mutual respect, admiration and close friendship that has endured for the last 100 years.

“This painting is a recognition of Australia’s close friendship with Turkey.

“With over 60,000 Turkish Australians now living in our country we are keen to build on our friendship in the years to come.”

As part of the Holt Anzac Centenary Fine Art Show all the paintings on display will be donated back to the community.

Any school, sporting group, community group or other organisation in Holt that is interested in an Anzac Centenary commemorative painting to be displayed in their facility should contact Anthony Byrne’s office on 9796 7533.

Council comes out shining in ratepayer survey CASEY council’s satisfaction survey results have been released this month.

For its overall performance, Casey scored 61, one point above the statewide average of 60, while for overall council direction, Casey scored 56, three points above the state-wide average of 53.

But its result for advocacy and customer service both took a hit com-

pared to the state average - one point and three points respectively below the state average - while community consultation was the same at 56.

Each year, Local Government Victoria co-ordinates a state-wide Local Government Community Satisfaction Survey throughout local government areas.

The City of Casey participated in

the 2015 survey between January and March with 400 Casey residents having their say on council’s performance.

“Council is committed to listening to feedback from residents and ensuring our services meet community needs,” Casey Mayor Mick Morland said.

“The 2015 results show that Casey continues to be on par with other outer

metropolitan councils, while it scored considerably higher in most Victorian averages.

“With over 120 people moving into Casey each week, we have the pressures of delivering infrastructure for a growing community which other municipalities don’t have, so it’s fantastic, Casey’s results are higher than Victorian averages in the eyes of our residents.”

Stage set for music funding NEW funding has been made available for aspiring Casey musicians who want the chance to get up on stage and wow a crowd.

Youth Affairs Minister Jenny Mikakos was joined by Melbourne DJ Rellik and other local musicians at Fitzroy Town Hall earlier this month to announce the opening of FReeZA grant applications.

The program provides funding for organisations to involve young people to plan and stage fully supervised, drug, alcohol and smoke-free events in their community.

Each year more than 130,000 young people from across the state attend more than 400 FReeZA events.

“The FReeZA program is an opportunity for young people to socialise and have fun while gaining valuable experience and skills organising free local youth events,” Ms Mikakos said.

“I strongly encourage local governments and community organisations to apply, and realise the full benefit for their communities of enabling local talent to stage a range of free locally-produced events.”

Applications for the 2016-2018 FReeZA program are open for six weeks and close on Friday 21 August.

Successful applicants will be announced in October.

TAX TIME

1124963-MB12-14

Employees have payment options EMPLOYEES have both rights and obligations when they are changing jobs.

The Australian Tax Office says that when they leave or change jobs - or take a second job - their rights and obligations may change, just as they would if they moved overseas or if they left the workforce or retired.

While they are working they must pay income tax on payments they receive from their employer which their employer will deduct.

At the end of the financial year employees need to lodge a tax return and may receive a refund after claiming deductible expenses.

Your employer will generally be required to pay super contributions.

When an employee starts a job the employer is required to withhold tax from wages on their behalf and, in most cases, to pay super into your super account.

Employees need to supply their tax file number (TFN) and complete a TFN declaration which the employer uses to work out how much tax to withhold from pay.

Workers are required to pay income tax on their salary and wages, most Centrelink payments, investment income from rent, bank interest or dividends they receive, profits from selling shares or property and income from business.

The amount of income tax and the tax rate they pay depends on circumstances and how much they earn.

The first $18,200 Australian residents earn is tax free, although in some circumstances this is reduced.

For example, if someone earns additional income (for example, from a second job or a taxable pension) their second payer is required to withhold tax at the higher ‘no taxfree threshold’ rate.

If their second payer does not withhold a higher rate of tax this may mean that the employee has a tax debt at the end of the financial year.

However, if they are certain their total income for the year will be less than $18,200 they can claim the taxfree threshold from each payer.

The employee may also need to pay a Medicare levy, generally 2 per

cent of their taxable income.

If an employee has an accumulated Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debt or an accumulated Financial Supplement debt, they need to include this information on their TFN declaration.

Depending on how much the employee earns they may have to make repayments on this debt as part of their income tax payment.

Employees need to lodge a tax return each year.

You may be eligible to claim tax deductions for expenses they directly incur in earning their income.

However, they cannot claim the cost of normal domestic or private expenses.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Camera couple set to roll with the changes

By CASEY NEILL BRUCE and Dawn Van Krieken have watched generations of Dandenong families grow up.

They’ve also seen the town and its businesses grow and evolve during their 27 years at Dandenong Image Centre.

This Thursday (23 July) they’ll work their final day at the Dimmeys Arcade store before handing over the reins to seek a sea change.

“I’ll miss all my regular customers,” Dawn said.

“We’ve got some oldies who come in and bring you flowers for your birthday and things like that.

“They just come in to see you and for the company.

“But it’s a new chapter in your life.

You’ve got to change.

“We met each other working together and still work together so I deserve some time away from my husband!”

Dawn was a courier and Bruce was a manager at a pharmacy back when onehour photo developing was just emerging.

“That’s how we got into the photo business,” she said.

They set up in Dandenong in 1988 across the road from their current Langhorne Street location.

“We moved across here in 1999. We’ve been here ever since,” Bruce said.

“It is continuing as a family business.

“The new owners are Delio and Lucia Fagundes.”

Delio conceded he had big shoes to fill.

“Customers, they know Bruce and Dawn very well,” he said.

“It will be a bit of a challenge at the beginning.

“I will just carry on what they’ve been doing here.”

He also plans to introduce studio photography and run his existing wedding invitations business.

Dawn and Bruce Van Krieken behind the Dandenong Image Centre counter. 141224 “We are trying to find Bruce’s clone,” he laughed.

And with good reason. Bruce said the tipping point from film to digital came in 2005.

“Digital’s been a big change but the store has kept up with it,” he said.

“You don’t do as many prints as you did, but you can do so much more.

“Years ago we never had things like canvas prints or photo gifts - photos on cups and T-shirts and jewellery.”

Dawn said developing film was more interesting than dealing with digital prints.

“People go ‘oh you’re blinking, let’s take it again’ and you don’t have any of those candid shots,” she said.

“I call it staged photography because everyone poses for a photo now instead of being natural.

“We can’t stress that enough that people shouldn’t keep the amount of photos on their phone that they do.

“Make sure you print the important ones.

“There will be an era that will grow up and they will have hardly any history prints.

“Our grandparents took photos of every occasion, printed them, put them in an album, printed them, wrote dates on them ... ” Bruce and Dawn count John Farnham, Denise Drysdale, Lindsay Fox and the Dulux dog among their past customers.

“We would have dealt with every company that’s been in Dandenong,” Bruce said.

They also served the Journal, Dandenong and District Historical Society and CFA crime scene investigators.

“You had to check them but you were trying to glance over them because you didn’t want to see too much,” Dawn said.

They’ve developed photos for “all the ones that the streets are named after” including former mayor Maurie Jarvis and his wife Gwen.

“I used to love talking to her. She’d

Picture: ROB CAREW

tell you so much history,” Dawn said.

“She was an amazing lady with an amazing memory.”

They even cast their eyes over a Ribena berry or two.

“We used to do a lot of work for SmithKline Beecham when they did the blackcurrants for the Ribena,” Dawn laughed.

“They used to bring them in by the roll full, of different vats of Ribena berries.

“There’d be hundreds of prints of Ribena berries. We couldn’t see any difference.”

But she’s watched with interest as families have grown.

“The jeweller across the road, we saw his kids’ photos, we saw his son get married and now we’re seeing his grandkids.

They’re growing up,” she said.

“You see generations of families growing up.

“Thanks to everyone who’s been through our doors in the past 27 years.”

Minister launches future for rail research THE rail industry’s best and brightest are on track to achieve global growth.

Parliamentary Secretary for Industry and Science Karen Andrews officially launched the Rail Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) at Bombardier Transport in Dandenong on Tuesday 21 July.

Guests included representatives from CSIRO, government, universities and business, some who’d travelled from as far afield as Bendigo and Thomastown.

The Rail Manufacturing CRC stemmed from the On Track to 2040 - The Rail Technology Roadmap, which defined the industry’s vision and identifies opportunities.

The Federal Government committed $31 million to the new CRC and participants will contribute about $53 million in cash and in-kind contributions.

Ms Andrews said Australia’s rail industry was fragmented and had not previously collaborated effectively on technology development.

“The new CRC will create stability within the sector while also enabling Australia’s rail manufacturing firms to expand into overseas markets and global supply chains,” she said.

She said the CRC was also expected to boost Australia’s highly skilled workforce by turning out at least eight PhD students.

Ms Andrews said domestic freight rail had doubled over the past 20 years and was expected to grow by 3 per cent each year until 2030.

“Likewise, passenger rail is starting to

CRC business development director Tony Carney said now was the time to revitalise and reshape the sector.

He said innovation was key to the sector’s future and its challenges included reduced local content requirements in some states, the car industry departure and the need to globalise.

“The new CRC will help to create jobs, reduce supply chain costs and will also

play an important part in making Australian exports more competitive,” Ms Andrews said.

CRC chairman Paul Johnson said the centre would co-ordinate collaborative research and foster partnerships and the key challenge was translating great ideas into market innovations.

“It’s not an innovation until it’s actually been used,” he said.

CRC managing director and CEO Dr Stuart Thomson said the launch came at a critical time for the manufacturing sector.

He said the centre would link the in-

dustry with research providers, help each understand the other’s capabilities and align their expectations.

CSIRO’s manufacturing flagship director Keith McLean has contributed to the Vision CRC and the CRC for Polymer.

“Both have delivered world-leading technology to the marketplace,” he said.

Mr McLean said Australia ranked poorly for innovation efficiency and collaboration.

He said the Rail Manufacturing CRC was in a position to make a profound impact on the rail sector, ensuring employment and exports.

Bombardier managing director Rene Lalande took the morning’s wild wind as a symbol for the brainstorming that would take place at the CRC. “Our industry mission is to move people,” he said.

Mr Lalande said Bombardier’s founder invented the snow mobile when he encountered transport issues in Canadian snow.

“Our company is built on innovation,” he said.

State Industry Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the centre would enhance the local rail manufacturing centre’s capacity and competitiveness.

She said the State Government had provided the industry with certainty through a 10-year rolling stock strategy announced in this year’s budget, which included $2 billion in funding.

Land sale vote due GREATER Dandenong Council is set to sell its former Springvale Depot site for $11 million.

Councillors are set to vote tonight (Monday 27 July) on a proposal to sell the 20,000 square metre site at 32-40 View Road to developer Met510.

The company has experience in large-scale residential projects and “has the full resources of the Metricon Group available”.

A council report said that, based on its tender submission and an interview, Met510 would “provide the best financial outcome and the most appropriate type of development”.

Money from the sale will go towards implementing the $25 million Springvale Civic Site Masterplan which includes the library and the council’s former administrative buildings.

Web site makes link GREATER Dandenong Chamber of Commerce has a new website.

It has a fresh look and promises to be easier for visitors to navigate and find the information they’re looking for.

Counsel for solution

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A COUNSELLING group which focuses on supporting people whose loved ones suffer from drug and alcohol addictions will be invited to hold a presentation at Casey council.

The invitation comes after River Gum Ward councillor Damien Rosario joined the group for its monthly meeting last week, which is run out of the Hallam Medical Group facility on Tuesday nights.

Cr Rosario sat in as members of the group shared their personal and ongoing experiences of trying to help family members who are battling severe addictions.

“My first impression was that I saw knowledge and experience in the room,” Cr Rosario said.

“It caught my attention just the way people were talking about their experiences but also having constructive solutions.

“One person said they had a problem with their son, someone else offered a solution.

“It was a sharing and networking of knowledge.”

In addition to inviting the group to present to a Casey council general purposes meeting in the near future, Cr Rosario said he would help the group advocate for funding in his capacity as a local politician.

The Vision of Hope program is run voluntarily by the team at Hallam Medical Group and any

expenses are paid for out of the clinic’s own budget.

“What they’ve got is a beautiful framework but I can give them a hand with project management stuff, get their systems more online,” Cr Rosario said.

“Secondly I’m inviting them to speak at the general purposes meeting so that they can discuss to council about what they do and seek support, and we can see what council can do to help a group like this.

“It’s also about project management and also getting business on board to support the program.

“All these businesses nearby, they could sponsor these type of activities and in return this could get the program some financial support.”

Mental health nurse Lyndsey Coutet, who helps run the Vision of Hope program, welcomed the opportunity for a council representative to visit the group.

“It means a lot because there are a lot of people coming from different places and it’s great for council to know about us and they can hear our problems and what the families are going through,” Mr Coutet said.

“That’s what we want, we want awareness - we want people to know this group exists.”

For more information, and to join Vision of Hope, contact the Hallam Medical Group on 9796 5400.

Burglar’s capture is on cards A BRAZEN burglar was clearly not thinking straight when he broke into a Narre Warren auto store and stole a number of gift cards that hadn’t yet been activated.

But the thief made up for it afterwards when he broke into several other stores in Hallam and Hampton Park, making off with tools and cash on Monday 20 July in the space of an hour.

The offender broke into Supa Cheap Auto on Webb Street about 5.15am by smashing a window and went on to steal a number of gift cards.

He then broke into two businesses on Hallam South Road and stole a set of bolt cutters and cash.

Around 6am he broke into another business on Sommerville Road in Hampton Park, stealing more cash.

The offender may be using an old Mitsubishi.

Proud to be ASEAN Joey

By JARROD POTTER THE first step on the path to his boyhood dream - pulling on a Socceroos’ jersey - is about to begin for Dandenong soccer star Mersim Memeti.

Trading his Thunder and Melbourne City gear for the Australian colours for a fortnight, Memeti, 15, was picked

by Joeys’ coach Tony Vidmar to be part of the 23-man squad for the upcoming ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Under-16 Youth Championships in Cambodia, starting this week.

While Memeti is happy to let his soccer do most of the talking, he was thrilled to get a chance to wear the Australian uniform and never wants to take it off as he hopes to one day progress to the national senior side.

“It’s pretty good and I’m

proud to make it,” Memeti said.

“I was feeling pretty happy and pretty proud when they told me and I’d love to win the tournament with the team.

“I would love to play in the Socceroos one day - it’s playing for Australia… it’s a great experience for me… just need to take it step by step.”

Memeti’s Cambodian journey will be action packed as Australia prepares for the AFC Under-16 Championships as part of the qualification process for the Under-17 World Cup. The Joeys are in Group B for the Phnom Penh-based tournament which started last week and will taking on Singapore, the Philippines, Myanmar and Cambodia.

Memeti will line up in the Joey’s defensive end, just as he has plied his craft playing for Dandenong Thunder and the

Football Federation Victoria (FFV) side while training with Melbourne City’s NPL1 team.

But it could’ve been a different tale for the young defender, who started his soccer journey as a goalkeeper.

Destiny called however and he threw aside the gloves in favour of heading feet-first into his soccer and hasn’t looked back on the move.

“I play centre back for Melbourne City and Dandenong Thunder and will play centre back for Australia too,” Memeti said.

“I started my career as a keeper, then I went to left wing... but I’m happy to stay on the field.”

He wanted to thank his family for their support, Melbourne City and Dandenong Thunder and everyone associated with the FFV development program.

BASEBALL STATE WINTER CHAMPIONSHIPS - Under-14 Grand Final

Level heads clinch title

By JARROD POTTER SIX games, two days, one state champion team.

Dandenong Baseball Association (DBA) continued its domination of the State Winter Championship after its under-14 brigade stormed past the likes of Geelong, Ringwood and Diamond Valley to take the title.

Dandenong won five of its six matches to clinch the title and DBA head coach Jade Hough had high praise for the extremely talented team’s performance, especially considering the current age of most in the roster.

“Some of these kids given that they’re 12 and 13-years of age - the talent that they put on show over the weekend was absolutely amazing,” Hough said.

“To come away with so many close wins and play level headed the whole time

was unbelievable.”

After conceding their one loss of the carnival to Ringwood on Saturday, after the match timed out and the scores reverted, the DBA needed to win everything on Sunday to clinch the title beyond doubt.

There would be no nails bitten as Dandenong soared against Ringwood the second time around - smashing the opposition 9-3 to all but retain the championship.

Hough had to hold back her joy and convince the side the last match had more on the line than in actuality.

“If we didn’t beat Ringwood we would’ve had no chance of winning - that was the most important game - and we beat them by six runs… that pretty much sealed the championship for us,” Hough said.

Liz Cambage will return to Dandenong... this time as an Australian Opal in an international friendly against Japan on Monday. 122050 Picture: JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER Jed Woodger rockets off another cannon from the pitcher’s mound. 141960 “I had a feeling going into the last game that we had already won the championships - but I didn’t tell the boys and I told them they had to win it.

“Very last game we ended up winning with one run within the last minute of the game - as we’d already gone over 10 minutes that we were allowed.”

Hough thought the side’s big hitters Joshua Smith, Jed Woodger, Dante Caruso and Mack Turley - were most impressive alongside pocket rocket Josh Ashen.

Pakenham’s Emily Devine earned her place in the side

and made the most of the opportunity to face off against the state’s best.

“She didn’t do too bad - struggled a little bit, but being the only girl and everything on the team, speaking from experience it’s a bit hard,” Hough said.

“Best asset would be her hitting... she’s got a bit of strength behind her.”

The DBA’s under-12s are up next, squaring off against the rest of the state over the weekend at Albert Roy Reserve, Bendigo (after the Journal went to press).

SOUTH EAST basketball sensation Elizabeth Cambage will finally return to Dandenong basketball courts - but not in the way we expected last year.

Cambage is set to return to her junior basketball home at Stud Road, this time in the Jayco Australian Opals’ uniform with the team to play a three-game series against Japan next week.

The series will provide a crucial lead-in to the 2015 FIBA Oceania Championships where the Opals will play New Zealand for automatic qualification to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

The Jayco Australian Opals will play against the Asian number-one World Championships seed Japan at Dandenong on 27 July, in Frankston on 29 July and finally Ballarat on 31 July.

Cambage has been sidelined since the eve of the 2014 FIBA World Championships when she ruptured her Achilles tendon.

The 23-year-old will join the 16-strong squad with selections

for the Oceanias on the line.

“It’s fantastic to have Liz back,” Jayco Opals coach Brendan Joyce said.

“We’ll ease her into it.

“It’s a bonus to have her available for the series against Japan, but the focus is to have her on court against New Zealand.”

The 16-woman squad also brings together a core group from the Opals’ tour of Europe in June with former and current Dandenong Rangers replete throughout the roster.

Another local set to don the green and gold will be Endeavour Hills’ rising star Aimie Clydesdale, who comes into the squad following her recent experience with the Emerging Opals at the World University Games.

It won’t be the only high calibre match coming to Dandenong Basketball Stadium this winter season as NBL side Melbourne United will host American college side Louisiana State University (LSU) on Thursday 20 August from 7pm.

Super Rangers subdue Supercats

By JARROD POTTER

Rehab… no no no!

SEABL - Round 15 DANDENONG shook the Supercats’ resolve on Saturday evening with an epic 80-78 come-from-behind victory.

Playing on unfriendly turf in Geelong, the Rangers ensured they would ruin the party even more to take win number 11 and bunch up the top seeds ahead of the final few weeks of the home-and-away season.

Trailing 58-65 at the last break, Dandenong rallied to negate the Supercats’ top offensive weapons - halting Kimmani Barrett and Eric Gaff in the dying minutes.

Coach Darren Perry left it to his star four - as Daequon Montreal (22 points, 7 rebounds), Andrew Harms (16 points, 7 assists), Lucas Walker (15 points) and Chuck Long (15 points) relished another nail-biter.

Perry’s men sit one win away from the top of the SEABL East Conference with three rounds to play, making for an exciting finish to the home-and-away season.

The Rangers’ women waltzed past secondranked Geelong taking a 96-59 win on the back of supreme efforts via Tenaya Phillips (20 points), Faith Probst (14 points, 12 rebounds) and on her return to the line-up after a threemonth lay-off Amelia Todhunter (13 points).

The Rangers women only need one win from their final four to stitch up top seed in the SEABL East.

The Rangers will host Ballarat on Sunday afternoon (After the Journal went to press).

By JARROD POTTER “THE harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph.”

This humble mantra was tweeted

by Hawthorn footballer Alex Woodward after yet another charactertesting challenge had been placed between him and his football career.

Woodward, 22, had to be helped from the field a fortnight ago in the VFL Round-14 clash between Box Hill and Coburg.

After only five minutes on field, Woodward was stretchered off following another anterior cruciate ligament tear in his prone right knee.

The Noble Park/Sandringham Dragons’ alumnus looks set to endure another huge stint in the rehab group after only returning from back-to-back knee operations in 2012 and 2013.

It is the third time Woodward the reigning Liston Trophy winner

BIG V - Round 18 THE Cougar call couldn’t contain Coburg as The Keysborough womens’ season ended with a gallant 75-102 defeat.

The Cougars couldn’t knock over Coburg, despite a superhuman effort from Billie Lucas - who rattled off a season-high 41 points to go with 13 rebounds.

With support from Emily Rider (13 points, 9 rebounds) and Ashleigh Wright (7 points), the Cougars held on for dear life, but couldn’t halt the final’ bound Giants.

Keysborough women ended their second BIG V Division-2 season with a much improved record - finishing the home-andaway season in eighth place with a 5-11 record under first year coach Craig Smethurst.

Billie Lucas is one of the top candidates for the Division’s MVP award, finishing the season with a league-leading 328 points as she averaged 20.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game as well as prominent numbers for total rebounds (155), free throws made (75) and total steals (39).

Also topping the BIG V tables from Keysborough was Emily Rider - who had the most defensive rebounds in the division with 111.

Keysborough men played Coburg on Sunday afternoon (after the Journal went to print).

for the VFL’s best and fairest - has been sent under the knife for that troublesome joint.

Woodward, when asked about his run of injuries last year, said the main thing was to strive to get back as there’s always a bright side to the struggles of day-to-day recovery.

“I’ve been in that position before, but probably the main thing is to be patient,” Woodward said to the Journal last year.

“Persevere with whatever you’re doing - football or any other sport because if you’re willing to do the hard yards it’s going to pay dividends eventually.”

At a press conference on Thursday, Hawthorn coach Alistair Clarkson said it will be a tough road back to the AFL, but Woodward has it in him to return to the senior side once again.

“That’s a really sad situation that he’s going to have his third knee

Noble Park alumnus Alex Woodward will miss another season after undergoing his third knee reconstruction in only four years. 115924 Picture: JARROD POTTER reco,” Clarkson said.

“One thing that does occur when you have to go through that process is that you become a very, very resilient character and he’s certainly that way.

“His outlook and positivity is unbelievable for someone who has had

to endure so much hardship over the last three years.

“Hopefully he returns and we’ll support him as much as we can through his rehab.”

Woodward was booked in for knee surgery last week.

Beach? only a Rumour in the Pipeline

By JASON ADAMS LAST Thursday evening at Sandown Park was a memorable one for trainer Arthur Connell after his one-and-only racing greyhound Pipeline Rumour claimed his first city-class win.

Pipeline Rumour was fast to begin from box three and gained a 10-length gap from his rivals first time past the post. Tiring in the home straight, Pipeline Rumour hung on to win by one-and-a-half lengths completing the 715 metres in 42.59.

“He was looking for somewhere to lay down half way down the straight - he did all his hard work early,” said Connell.

Pipeline Rumour’s journey to Connell’s Corinella kennel was one out of the ordinary, with a negotiation at the mines between Connell’s son and a friend.

“My son works at the mines and his friend had a stud dog in Sydney who had pups available - so my son agreed to buy a pup.”

“I educated him myself and got him ready-to-race - he’s the most well behaved dog I’ve ever had,

doesn’t cause any trouble and has a beautiful nature.”

Although only 20 starts into Pipeline Rumour’s career, Connell has received multiple offers from all over the country however none desirable enough to tempt him.

“I’ve had three offers for him and even one from Western Australia, but we decided to knock them all back - he’s probably one of the better dogs I’ve had over the years, they’re hard to come across so we’re looking forward to having a bit of fun with him.”

Connell is no stranger to the sport having trained greyhounds for over 50 years.

“I got my trainer’s license back in 1964, after that I got married, had kids and was working eight hours a day before working the dogs.”

“I had a block in Wonthaggi… though sold it due to some health problems - if something happened to me it would have been tough for my wife to look after it.”

Now living in the seaside town of Corinella, Connell and Pipeline Rumour are regulars at the local beach.

No whispers or innuendo needed after Arthur Connell’s Pipeline Rumour claimed its first city win. 142238 Picture: SUPPLIED “I go to the beach a lot with him - we’ll head down tonight and get in the water like the footballers

do, if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for him,” Connell laughed.

SPORT VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Division 2 - Round 14

Siekman takes a TAC helm

Cold winds, hot JOCs

By JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER

IT’S ALREADY been a jam-packed and accolade-filled year for Dandenong Stingrays’ assistant coach Wayne Siekman.

He led Vic Metro Youth Girls to a national championship victory as head coach and he also played a major part of Vic Country’s national under-18 success as one of the assistants, but there’s one more major assignment on the cards as he took charge of his beloved Stingrays in a TAC Cup clash on Sunday.

Craig Black vacated the main seat just for the weekend and passed the reins to Siekman, who will earn his TAC Cup coaching debut against the Northern Knights.

“It’s a great opportunity and shows how good the Stingrays’ program is,” Siekman said.

“While it’s a great development program for the players, also a part of it is for the staff, that you get a chance to develop too.”

Siekman thanked Black, Stingrays’ region manager Mark Wheeler and the rest of the Stingrays’ team for their vote of confidence in his coaching skills as he looked forward to taking on the biggest challenge yet in his burgeoning coaching career.

“Craig and Wheels sat down at the start of the year and said I’d have an opportunity to coach a game this year,” Siekman said.

“Coming in for one week with this opportunity - it’s big for Craig to be able to let me do it - and the most I want to get out of it is to prove that I can coach at this level.

“From a team aspect we want to gain on the momentum we’ve earned against Murray.

“Preston is a ground we haven’t got the best record at over the last five years and they’re a competitive side, so we’ll need to match their hardness at the footy and have a good four-quarter effort.”

Dandenong head coach Craig Black thought it was great for Siekman to take the reins and it shows there’s plenty of room for growth in the TAC Cup even for the coaches.

“He’ll coach from the box this weekend and it’s great for his development,” Black said.

“He’s taking the whole week - from training to selection to give him the whole experience of being a head coach.

“Wayne is doing his level-three coaching and it will help him and he’ll benefit from a week in the hot seat, taking the different stresses and angles when you’re the head coach.

“Wayne wants to take that next step in his coaching and like the TAC Cup is a development league for players, we also see it as the same for coaches so it will be a good chance for him.”

Siekman was in charge of Dandenong’s Round-14 Sunday foray against Northern Knights - for more on the Stingrays’ results click onto the Dandenong Journal website Monday morning.

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE Division 1 - Round 14

Fogarty takes Bulls by the horns

By JARROD POTTER MAYBE a little too well-rested after a weekend off, the Bulls took their sweet time finding top gear against North Ringwood.

Sending shudders through the rest of the league, Noble Park returned to full strength on the weekend as it eventually ran out 29-point victor over the visiting Saints... but not after having to dig particularly deep to get there.

Sam Monaghan returned to the line-up - after nearly two months on the sidelines - as did former TAC Cup player Kevin Kean to give even more firepower to a well-stoked arsenal down at Moodemere Street.

A measly five behinds accounted for Noble Park’s first-quarter initiative - despite taking a monster advantage in stoppages 16-to-2 and the inside-50 count 15-to-8.

Playing well within themselves and not linking up as prominently as North Ringwood had done through the first term - it took a few home truths seared into the group’s psyche at the quarter-time huddle to get the ball rolling.

“If we play a selfish brand of footy and play as individuals that’s what happens” Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty said pointing to the surprisingly lopsided scoreboard.

“We came in and thought we’d have a real easy, bruise-free day.

“If you want to have one of them, don’t expect to come off the ground and win the game.

“If you want to be a professional, disciplined unit and get back to the way that we want to play, we’ll go ok - but it’s up to you guys which way it will go.”

Fogarty’s pump-up inspired the brigade as Noble Park resumed its regular standards. While the behinds still flew thick and fast, Noble Park also slammed on the goals as Shayne Allan (6 goals) booted two in a minute in the second term to steal the lead at the main break, a position the home side would not give up again.

Another four goals flew for the Bulls in the third, but the Saints didn’t lay down. Despite the lopsided appearance of the match-up - with Noble Park second and North Ring-

Noble Park scraped by - booting three last term goals to all but seal the deal and take its sixth win on the trot.

Kyle Martin, Brett Dore, Allan, Craig Anderson and Jackson Sketcher all starred in the win.

The Bulls sit second in the top flight and have a two-game break on the chasers - Vermont and Rowville - ahead of a higher fancied clash against Blackburn away on Saturday.

FIGHTING off the frigid cold and a howling wind, St John’s put behind a squalid month of form by brushing aside finals’ contender Eltham Collegians.

With a two-and-three record in the last month of Division-2 action, St John’s needed the win to continue its push for the VAFA double-chance.

Battling fourth-ranked Eltham Collegians, the match only started to ramp up dramatically through the second half, as the wind became a major factor as the mercury dropped at Thomas Carroll Reserve.

The third quarter belonged to the JOCs as the forward line started to heat up.

With expert delivery from Rhys Dyker, Keith Ash and Manny Jakwot - who stormed through the midfield - it gave Tim Edwards (5 goals) and Aaron Abela (3 goals) plenty to pump their fists about slamming on eight-goalsone in a dominant third term for the JOCs. It was a one-sided performance aided by the great wind buffeting the Box Street end.

Two goals against the typhoon kept the visitors’ hopes alive and despite staring down a 44-point deficit at the final change, the Eltham Collegians didn’t quit even as the scoreboard started to favour the home side heavily.

Every one of that eight-goal margin for St John’s would prove necessary as Eltham chipped away at that lead through the final term.

St John’s didn’t throw everyone back immediately - trying to push for a few more goals to seal the deal - but eventually Ben McGee marshalled his best and brightest and sent them to defend the rapidly decreasing lead.

Abela, Ash and Dyker shifted their focus and excelled down back - repelling countless Eltham inside-50s to hold onto an eight-point lead at the final siren.

St John’s football manager Chris Horbury was pleased the JOCs turned around their indifferent form by knocking off a major player in the Division-2 finals’ race.

“Third quarter won us the game eight goal third quarter - and we kicked straight today,” Horbury said.

“We had to grind out the win and we did that… these are the games we have to win.

“Lots of positives out of the game 18.5 - you’re going to win many games when you kick like that.”

Horbury praised the aforementioned players as well as Carson Strobel through the centre.

St John’s goes a game clear in second place and heads out to Albert Park on Saturday to face South Melbourne Districts.

Picasso’s sculptured style

By EWAN KENNEDY BUYERS looking for something that doesn’t follow convention and who appreciate a real touch of French flair should certainly have the latest Citroen C4 Picasso on their short (often very short) list of potential cars.

Just what is the Citroen C4 Picasso?

It’s hard to define, being a mixture of a tall hatchback and a people mover, with a touch of SUV thrown in for good measure.

This is not the first Citroen that refuses to slot neatly into any category, nor will it be the last. We love the French marque for that.

Citroen C4 Picasso looks like nothing else on the road.

Most of its upper surfaces are glass, from its huge windscreen that almost merges into a super-sized sunroof and onto the sleek rear glass the compact French people mover defies convention.

Inside, there are fascinating curves, facets and materials.

Many in the dashboard area are fashioned around the big electronic screens.

A large screen in the centre of the dash displays the main instruments.

It can be set up with a choice

of displays to suit individual tastes and driving conditions.

A smaller screen in a more conventional position lower down in the centre console looks after air conditioning, audio and other minor tasks.

Citroen C4 Picasso is priced at $40,990 plus on-road costs.

It has a good range of standard equipment, with keyless entry and start-stop, automatic headlights and wipers, LED daytime running lamps, and foglamps with a cornering function.

Options are numerous and let you take part in customisation, as well as increase practicality.

The Lounge Pack has part leather seats, “relax style” headrests, LED light for tray tables on the backs of the front seats, fronts seats with electric lumbar support and massage function and electric foot rest for the front passenger ($2000); and Full Nappa leather seats with the Lounge Pack plus electrically adjustable and heated seats ($5000).

Citroens now have a six-year warranty, capped price servicing and a roadside assist package.

The C4 Picasso is powered by a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol unit that produces 120 kilowatts.

Model range C4 Picasso 1.6-litre turbopetrol five-door wagon: $40,990 (automatic)

French flair to the max in Citroen C4 Picasso.

All Australian imports of the C4 Picasso run a six-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels.

There’s no manual gearbox option here as there is in European markets.

The Drive Assist pack has lane departure warning, smart beam function, active cruise control, anti-collision warning, active seat belts and electrochromatic rear vision mirror.

All are worthwhile items

and we suggest spending the extra $2000 makes sense.

Driving the C4 Picasso is a different experience, not only do you have that goldfish bowl in front of you, the gear lever is in an unusual spot on the topright of the steering wheel.

It takes a bit of becoming accustomed to, so we suggest a longer than average test drive if you've never been in a Citroen before.

If the sunlight is too strong it

can be kept out by moving the front of the cabin’s roof forward in two sections to cover the top areas of the windscreen.

Picasso has five individual seats, with all the rear units having the same dimensions.

The rear seat can slide back and forward to let you choose between passenger legroom and boot capacity.

With the seats in their rearmost positions there’s good legroom for adults.

The front seats have adjustments in multiple directions, some settings are controlled by small buttons in the front corner of the seat.

It looks as though it takes up unnecessary space but we soon became accustomed to it.

Luggage space is good, 537 litres with the rear seats back, 630 with them all the way forward. The seats can be folded flat to give you a voluminous 1851 litres.

Citroen Picasso’s ride comfort is everything you expect from a French car - smooth and quiet to the point of serenity.

There was more tyre noise than anticipated on some of Australia’s notorious coarse-chip surfaces, but other than that it’s pretty impressive.

WHEN we told people we were driving a Honda HR-V, the almost universal response was, “Er, yuk.”

When we reminded them that it wasn’t the tragically un-hip three-door breadvan thing of years back, but was instead a well-sorted, betterlooking mini-SUV, the response changed.

The HR-V range stretches from the $24,990 VTi, via the $27,990 VTi-S through to the $32,990 VTi-L. Our test car, the VTi, came equipped with climate control, fabric trim, plastic steering wheel, seven-inch touchscreen six-speaker stereo with USB and Bluetooth, reversing camera, keyless entry, hill holder, power windows all round, power mirrors and tyre pressure sensors.

It looks like a cross between the new Honda Civic and CRV, which means upright styling and a few extravagant surfacing details that may not quite work for some eyes.

The CR-V-alike daylight opening in profile looks okay, but instead of a window in the third space, there’s a too-highfor kids door handle.

The 16-inch alloys on the base model look right, holding a bit of faux off-road cred.

The inside of the HR-V is by far the best of the crop of new, titchy SUVs. The three-dial dash is a clean design and the most is made of the tall console, with a split level arrangement giving an extra bin to hide the USB, HDMI and power ports. There’s storage everywhere, especially in the front, with bottle holders, drink holders and handy little spots wherever you look.

Add to that the excellent Honda Magic Seat system pinched from the Jazz you have an already excellent 437 litres that can expand to 1032.

There are eighteen configurations and it struck us that on a camping trip, smaller kids could happily bed down in the loadspace.

There’s a deeply nasty excuse for a cargo cover that flaps around when in place to make a very irritating rattle.

Model range Honda HR-V VTi: $24,990 (CVT automatic) Honda HR-V VTi-S: $27,990 (CVT automatic) Honda HR-V VTi-L: $32,990 (CVT automatic) Honda HR-V VTi-L ADAS: $33,990 (CVT automatic)

There’s a massive amount of legroom for rear passengers with matching headroom - sixfooters will be comfortable back there, something that cannot be said for Holden Trax, Renault Captur or Mazda CX-3.

Alone in this category, the rear door aperture doesn’t act like a nightclub bouncer.

The cloth interior is perfectly functional, with good materials throughout except, unfortunately, for the slippery plastic steering wheel.

The driver’s lot is made slightly worse by a poor relationship between pedals and wheel, meaning a long-arm, short-leg approach to driving which can be a little tiresome for those of average longitudinal proportions.

Six airbags, ABS, traction and stability controls with passive steer assist and lap-sash belts in all seats.

There is no ANCAP or EuroNCAP crash rating.

The seven-inch screen houses a very basic system which is effective and easy to use but is really old-looking.

On the base model there’s not much to play with, which means you’re never more than two stabs of the screen from anything.

Pairing phones is easy and you can attach them via USB and you can watch a video via the HDMI port.

The Honda HR-V range all come with the same package - 1.8 litre naturally-aspirated VTEC engine with a continuously variable transmission.

Honda claims a nevertheless competitive 6.6L/100km on the

combined cycle. Honda doesn’t quote a 0-100 km/h time but it’d be a miracle if it was quicker than nine seconds.

We used a creditable 8L/100km once we gave up on enthusiastic driving, with city driving dropping as low as 7L/100km.

Tooling around town, the HR-V is an excellent machine - quiet, reasonably refined and comfortable.

There’s a good view forward and it’s an easy car to place in tight spots, with all the controls spot-on - steering, brakes and throttle.

‘Green’ driving is encouraged by the lighting around the speedo. Drive sensibly and it goes green.

The 1.8-litre might be ready to discuss its superannuation rollover options but the CVT makes the most of the modest figures.

It’s just a pity the engine needs so many revs to get a move on, something you’ll notice as the payload increases.

As CVTs go it’s not bad, but it’s set-up to pointlessly mimic a seven-speed.

It’s also not the best-handling of the mini-SUV contenders.

The springs and dampers aren’t quite matched as well as they could be to Australian roads and with the skinny, cheap tyres, understeer is a constant companion if you fancy a bit of a hustle.

Keep it sensible, though, and you’ll find it a very agreeable companion, especially if you prefer a softer-riding machine.

The original HR-V was a decade too soon but the new one is pretty much the last off the blocks before the premium brands move on the segment.

The extra cooking time has done it the world of good, however, making it a solid overall proposition.

The interior, however, is streets ahead for space, practicality and when compared with Trax and Captur, finish.

When you take everything into consideration and focus on what this car is for, it hits the lead in what is sure to be a hardfought battle for mini-SUV supremacy.
