down care for patients for up to 30 days.

Since the victim’s death in 2009, PARC beds had increased from 90 to 230 with 18 more in the pipeline.

The government had started a 10-year strategy to respond to the “challenging” and “significant” high demand for mental health services, Ms Peake wrote.

A health department spokesman said the Mental Health Act 2014 did not have the legislative power to compel people to reside in subacute treatment facilities.

The victim’s widow said Victorian hospitals still did not have enough acute psychiatric beds and that the state had the lowest number per capita.

“I fear another person will be killed if we don’t make changes.

“Will it be similar to what has happened within our parole system that more people have to die before the public outcry becomes so loud that the government will finally listen?”

Their love is still blooming

A WIDOW has blasted the health department’s response to coronial findings into her 52-year-old husband being killed by an acute mental health patient who had just been discharged from Casey Hospital.

“I don’t think they acknowledged that if (the killer) had ... instead remained an inpatient in a step down area, my husband would still be alive today,” said the woman who cannot be identified due to a Coroner’s Court order.

“My husband was murdered by a person who had been unwell and was still unwell when he was discharged home from hospital” The victim was found by State Coroner John Olle in July to have died from multiple injuries and immersion in a home swimming pool in Narre Warren on 25 January 2009.

The perpetrator had been released as an involuntary patient from Casey Hospital on 16 January after taking his parents hostage in a sevenhour siege two weeks earlier.

He is serving eight years’

jail for the victim’s manslaughter - though he is eligible for parole this year.

In his report, Mr Olle said the care by Monash Health staff was “not unreasonable or inappropriate” in the circumstances but “hindsight has revealed poor clinical decisions were made”.

“Sadly, there is a marked over-representation of persons who suffer serious mental health illness in the commission of serious crime, including homicide, in Victoria.”

He recommended establishing therapeutic recovery or step-down units for acute-care patients before releasing them into the community.

“In general medicine, it would be unacceptable if a patient was discharged into the community from an intensive care unit.”

In a formal response to Mr Olle’s findings, Department of Health and Human Services acting secretary Kym Peake stated that a person’s best chance for recovery included community and home based treatment.

She said Prevention and Recovery Centre beds operated mainly as voluntary, step

IN BRIEF Brazen raid laptop lifted IN THE space of 10 minutes an unknown offender has opened and climbed through a bedroom window in Doveton, stolen a laptop computer and escaped.

The victim had been using the laptop, turned off the light and left the room at 10.10pm on Thursday 1 October at a property on Ti Tree Drive, Doveton.

When the victim returned at 10.20pm they noticed their sliding window was open and the laptop missing.

At the time of the burglary five people were home but no-one was injured.

When it’s good to talk about violence

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH THE man in charge of the Casey Family Violence Unit (CFVU) is ecstatic with the region’s small increase in reported family violence cases.

In the past two years to June 2015 family violence reports in Casey have gone up 1.1 per cent according to a recent report by the Crime Statistics Agency.

From July 2014 to June 2015 the City of Casey had reported 3775 family violence cases compared to the previous year’s 3733 - which is something Sergeant Ian Lane from the CFVU is rather happy about.

He’s been in the force for 37 years - patrolling Casey for 15 of them - and has been in charge of the CFVU for two years, and told Star News he was surprised at the increase.

“Only increasing 1.1 per cent in the last financial year is a surprise to me because Casey’s population has grown more than one per cent in that time,” Sgt Lane said.

“I would have thought it would be higher than that but I’m ecstatic it’s not.

“However it’s still an unacceptable number and we have to keep doing everything we can as a community and state to stop it.”

The numbers show a steady rise in reported family violence cases over the past six years, rising 41 per cent since July 2010, but Sgt Lane said it was a good thing.

“We’re actually happy for the number of reports to police to increase,” he said.

“Because it means people are comfortable speaking to us about it so we can help put a stop to it and that’s a really positive thing - but the

down side is family violence is happening far more often than we’d like.”

The CFVU averages about 10 family violence reports every day and Sgt Lane said the team dealt with intervention order breaches the most.

“Contrary to popular belief most of our work isn’t offences of physical violence, it’s a substantial part of what we do but most of it is after the charges have been laid and the perpetrator breaches their intervention order,” he said.

“

A MALE EXERCISING CONTROL OVER THEIR FEMALE PARTNER IS THE REAL CRUX OF THE PROBLEM AND IT CAN TAKE SHAPE IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS...

The typical family violence offender is male aged 18 to 45 years old. Sgt Lane said the CFVU did not see a lot of female offenders.

“Females assaulting males may not be reported to the same level but I could count on one hand the number of those incidents over the last couple of months,” he said, adding that reports of emotional and psychological abuse is what they see most regularly.

Threats, economical abuse and controlling behaviours are common in Casey and Sgt Lane

said “I’m sure a lot is going on that we’re not told about.”

“A male exercising control over their female partner is the real crux of the problem and it can take shape in many different ways,” he said.

But it’s Sgt Lane’s long-term concerns that really worry him.

“If we have such a problem now, in five years what is our problem surrounding family violence going to look like then, it’s not something that’s happened over night, it’s been going on a long time,” he said.

Sgt Lane admitted he thought the court system was good at prosecuting, but fell short in promoting change in the offender.

“We have a very strong network of agencies assisting the victims of family violence but I don’t know if there’s enough help and rehabilitation for the offender to let them think about how they’ve been acting to prevent it from continuing,” he said.

At the moment the CFVU’s main area of response is tackling repeat offenders.

“If a person comes to our attention more than three times in the last year we get involved with the family and even more involved with the offender,” Sgt Lane said.

The CFVU has been operating for five years and Sgt Lane encourages those affected by family violence and even bystanders to “get involved and call police”.

“If family violence reports went down I’d ask myself why, because I don’t know that enough is being done at the moment to stem the flow,” he said.

327 Lonsdale St, Dandenong 9792 2501

A MAN allegedly bought alcohol from a Dandenong bottle shop soon after violently robbing another man last week.

Police said the victim was struck unconscious by a blow to the face from behind as he walked near the Foster Street bottle shop about 3.15pm on 6 October.

The robber then took the victim’s bum bag and entered the bottle shop to buy drink.

Police have released CCTV images of a man wanted in relation to the incident. The images show him talking on a phone as he purchases alcohol.

He is described as of Middle Eastern appearance, aged between 25 and 30, with an athletic build, a large nose and short dark hair. Police say the man has several “unique” tattoos on his left bicep and chest.

The male aged in his forties was eventually found hiding in the roof cavity.

The male has been charged with 11 offences and has been remanded until Wednesday 4 November.

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 RUDDUCK STREET, WHICH IS NAMED AFTER SAMUEL RUDDUCK.

Club businessman whipped town into line SAMUEL Rudduck came from a long line of business people in England.

In Australia he first established a hay and corn store in Chapel Street, Prahran, and was at that time listed as the Prahran Mechanics’ Institute treasurer.

He arrived in Dandenong in 1859 and built himself a general store in Lonsdale Street, near the corner of Walker Street, which he ran until 1885.

It was built up on high piles because the creek in flood would surge all round it.

The same site eventually became Renfrees, Crumps, McEwan’s, Savers and now headspace.

Mr Ruddock also later built a small shop next door on the Walker Street corner opposite the town hall.

In it, William Thompason opened a fancy goods store,

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

barber’s shop and tobacconist.

At a public meeting in October 1872, Mr Rudduck moved that a Dandenong Cricket Club be formed.

He was a foundation committee member and treasurer and helped to seek land from the Roads Board for a local sporting oval.

By 1879 he was appointed a club trustee and overall he was active in the club as treasurer, president and a player.

He was recorded as a football umpire in 1877 when Dandenong Football team played St Kilda at Dandenong.

In 1878 he was appointed as Wesleyan Church in Dandenong’s trustee and accepted the

treasurer position.

Mr Ruddock and his wife were both generous financial contributors to the church.

He was a member of the anti-alcohol and drug groups the Independent Order of Rechabites and the Independent Order of Good Templars, and the Victorian Alliance.

He was a part of the committee selecting commissioners for the formation of the Dandenong Market.

He belonged to a group of male singers who performed in “primitive” concerts held in the Market Produce Shed using lamps and candles, with ushers carrying whips to control the crowd.

He was part of a successful group that lobbied the Roads Board to remove toll gates around Dandenong and he fought that same board long

and hard when it wanted to run a drain beneath his shop.

A drain was instead created around the property.

In 1884 Mr Rudduck bought land on the corner of Clow and Foster streets in Dandenong, and it was sold to the Cadle family after his death.

The Cadles were related by marriage to the Rudducks and Rudduck Street was formed

within that property.

The original Rudduck Street was lost when Stud Road was linked to Foster Street but now connects George and Foster streets.

Samuel and his wife Nettie in 1885 retired from active business after 25 years living and working in Dandenong, and settled on Port Nepean Road in the centre of Mordialloc.

Samuel died in 1903 at age 67 and was buried in Dandenong Cemetery.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 15 October 1915 Telephone Wanted Some time ago the council’s attention was directed to the urgency of taking immediate action to secure an automatic telephone box at the railway station, but nothing appears to have been done in the matter, or if steps have already been taken, the issue still rests in doubt.

I hope the council will endeavour to get such a desirable and necessary facility installed at the earliest moment.

It would prove a great boon to residents of Dandenong, as well as the

travelling public, and there should be no serious difficulty in presenting a strong claim to the Postmaster General for the installation of the telephone in question.

50 years ago 20 October 1965 The ‘Girls’ showed real form Dandenong - Lady members of the Staff of McEwans, Dandenong, recently played a football match against some of the Melbourne store and beat them.

One way and another it was a torrid time for umpire Dennis Dale because the girls seemed to be in

better form than he was and showed the benefit of a number of practice runs.

Dandenong snatched victory when Jan Barker took a mark and gaoled and followed with a behind just before the final siren.

20 years ago 23 October 1995 School spends cash on ‘Gold’ Lyndale Primary School has received $200 to help fund it’s musical ‘Grab that Gold’.

The money was presented by Ken Leemon on behalf of Dandenong Lions Club.

It also helped pay for a trip to Sov-

ereign Hill for 40 students who had a first-hand taste of life on the diggings.

The trip enabled them to put more realism into their performances.

‘Grab that Gold’, with a cast of 85, will be performed at Carwatha Theatre.

5 years ago 18 October 2010 Field of Support Mini-fields of women have cropped up across Greater Dandenong this month.

Pink cardboard silhouettes of women are on display at the South East-

ern Breast Clinic in Noble Park and Dandenong Hospital chemo day unit.

They are just a couple of examples of the events held during October for breast cancer awareness month.

The South Eastern Breast Clinic is also raising funds through its third annual breakfast.

Breast care nurse and clinic coordination Lee Alexander said the breakfast had raised $20,000 for several cancer support services last year.

Inga Peulich has denied allegations of racial bullying. 127157 Picture: DONNA OATES discrimination against persons on the grounds of their race, religion and ethnicity.

“The allegations are now subject to legal processes that I have instigated.”

Ms Peulich told Star News that she could not comment further on internal party matters.

Casey councillor Gary Rowe told Star News: “I was chair of the meeting and the matters alleged did not occur.”

Mr Philip said he was frustrated that a Liberal Party investigation only began after media reports in June, seven months after he made his complaint.

The investigation has been conducted by party elders David Kemp and John Ridley.

Liberal state director Simon Frost said the inquiry would be finalised shortly.

1201290-LB40-15

A CRANBOURNE Liberal Party member has called on state multicultural affairs spokeswoman Inga Peulich to resign and challenged her to sue him over allegations that she racially bullied him.

Prasad Philip, backed by three other eyewitness members, has claimed that he was verbally threatened by Ms Peulich at a Cranbourne electorate party meeting at Amstel Golf Club in December.

Mr Philip interpreted her alleged words as a put down of his Indian descent.

“If it’s not true, she should sue me,” he told Star News.

Ms Peulich, who is Legislative Council MP for the South-Eastern Metropolitan region, has denied the claims in Parliament and her denials have been backed by other Cranbourne Liberals.

She has also issued legal letters for defamation against the complainant and a national newspaper that first published stories about the complaint in June.

Mr Philip maintained he was a victim of racial vilification and had the right to “use my voice”.

He said he remained a Liberal branch member because he wanted to “fight within the party” for a “real solution”.

“The party should ask Inga to apologise to me,” he said.

“If I was in Inga’s position, I’d step down as the opposition multicultural minister.”

Mr Philip said he had also formally complained to police and the Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission.

In Parliament on 5 August, Ms Peulich said she “completely and categorically” rejected the “false” and “malicious” allegations.

“As a member of Parliament from a migrant background, I find racism abhorrent, and my entire life has been committed to working against

Have your say on diversity

Put down new roots IT WAS the biggest community tree planting event the City of Casey has held.

With 20,000 trees on hand to help revegetate 10 hectares of natural habitat, more than 300 Casey locals got their hands dirty at the Police Paddocks in Endeavour Hills for the Plant Your Roots campaign on 11 October.

Among the gardeners and green thumbs were some young members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Victoria (AMAV) who experienced

planting a tree for the very first time.

Project and youth leader Kaleem Mohammed said it was the second time this year the group had helped reach an environmental goal.

“This year we have more children participating in this event and for most of them this is their first experience in planting trees,” Mr Mohammed said.

“It gives them the opportunity to learn about protecting our environment and most importantly to give back to the country we love and live in.”

Zargham Ahmad and Attaul Karim working together.

Kids to benefit from state infrastructure cash A BERWICK community centre and the Casey Cycling Precinct have been given a funding boost from the State Government’s Interface Growth Fund.

Bridgewater Family and Community Centre in Berwick will use $1.4 million from the fund to build a third kindergarten room and carry out improvements to the maternal and child

health waiting room and consultation room, reception area and a multi-purpose community room.

A further $1.12 million in funding will go to expand the Casey Cycling Precinct, which will support the existing cycling clubs at Casey Fields.

According to the chairwoman of Interface Councils, Cardinia Mayor Leticia Wilmot, the an-

nouncement is the start of the Andrews government’s commitment to bridging the infrastructure shortage in the outer suburbs.

“This investment will release more than $102 million into local economies as urgently needed local community infrastructure projects are constructed including recreation facilities, children services facilities and community centres,” she said.

“In addition to creating more than 2000 construction and longterm jobs, these projects will also benefit the health and wellbeing of our communities.

“Interface Councils are extremely pleased to see the funding being issued so quickly.

“There is an enormous backlog of unfunded projects that we need to provide.”

Cr Wilmot said the application and assessment process had been efficient and construction of the projects would start in this financial year.

“Interface Councils have already compiled a list of projects for the next round of funding, which we hope will be announced in the next budget,” Cr Wilmot said.

THE City of Casey is seeking feedback on its Draft Diversity, Access and Inclusion Policy.

The policy aims to ensure council undertakes decision making and provides services and infrastructure which are accessible and inclusive of all residents.

City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland invited all residents to have their say by attending a workshop or completing the online survey.

“It helps ensure that council continues to remove the social barriers of diversity in race, ethnicity, physical ability, socioeconomic status, age, religious, faith and political beliefs and sexual orientation, as well as providing all residents equal opportunities to participate in our services and in the community.“ Residents are invited to take part in one of two community workshops on the policy.

Bikie acid on his buttocks

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN charged over an alleged clandestine laboratory in Doveton and who held police at bay for five hours in Hampton Park has claimed that battery acid was poured on his buttocks by a bikie gang member.

Police informant Detective Senior Constable Rebecca Maiden of Casey CIU told a court bail hearing on Monday 12 October that Daniel Saab, 22, was remanded in custody after allegedly threatening to kill and falsely imprisoning a close relative in Hampton Park.

Sen Const Maiden alleged Saab had argued with a close relative about money, punched her arm and kicked her while forbidding her to leave her lounge room for several hours on 24 September.

The victim was told by Saab that “you’re dead” if she left

or called the police before she managed to get away, the court heard.

About 9.15am the next day, Saab’s cousin visited outside the home’s locked front gate and heard a single gunshot fired inside.

After an ensuing five-hour police siege, Saab surrendered.

Inside the house, police found a imitation firearm, a knife, a firearm butt, a deal bag containing three grams of amphetamines, and other drugs.

Saab had been on bail at the time to face the County Court in April over eight offences involving an alleged Doveton clandestine laboratory on 30 July, the court heard.

The lawyer said Saab had been recently assaulted with battery acid by a “bikie in the drug culture” prior to the siege.

Magistrate Julie O’Donnell

warned the lawyer that such matters should be sealed and handed up to the court. “There’s press in here today.”

In considering bail, Ms O’Donnell said the accused had an “extensive history” of “extraordinarily serious charges”.

She said it was unusual that family members were prepared to fund Saab’s long-term rehabilitation. “Generally I’d refuse bail but I have to say that his age has to be a factor here. It’s bail here, and not sentencing, and it’s all about risk.

“No-one can say there’s no risk but the risk is somewhat mitigated by the treatment program the family proposes.”

Saab was bailed on condition of reporting weekly to police, complying with a family violence intervention order, residing at a specific address and not using illicit drugs.

The City of Casey is inviting interested residents and community members to the

Bunjil Place Visual Arts Forum to learn more about Bunjil Place and the exhibition opportunities and spaces that will be available for Casey’s local visual arts community.

“We really need to put Dandenong on the map and send a message that manufacturing is alive and well,” she said.

Ms Walsh said the day would be held during Manufacturing Week in May and would coincide with a super trade mission from abroad.

“In Manufacturing Week, Dandenong will stop for the

Chicken Breast (SKIN ON)

best of reasons,” she said. Ms Walsh wants next year’s showcase to involve niche and large manufactures and to highlight what jobs are available in the sector.

She will be holding a cocktail event on stage at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong on 10 November to raise funds for event planning.

Honour for conscripts MEN called up to serve their country during desperate times have been honoured in Berwick.

The National Servicemen’s Association of Australia (Victoria) SouthEast Sub-Branch in November 2006 erected in Buchanan Park a plaque dedicated to the Nashos who served in the navy, army and air force between 1951 and 1972.

In particular, it pays tribute to the 212 who paid the supreme sacrifice during active service in Borneo and Vietnam.

The group each year holds a memorial service at the plaque, and this year’s event took place on Sunday 11 October.

The one-hour service include a volley from re-enactment group The Great War Association, a wreath-laying ceremony and music from the City of Greater Dandenong Band.

The National Servicemen’s Association of Australian represents the 287,000 young men the government called up for service during two conscription schemes.

TROY Hawkins has never forgotten when someone told him he’d never be a personal trainer.

Born with Spina Bifida, a degenerative spinal condition, 26-year-old Troy has a hole in his lower back which severed his nerves, making him very weak in his lower back and legs.

When Troy spoke to someone about completing a Certficate III in Fitness, they told him he wouldn’t be physically capable.

But Troy, from Cranbourne, bottled that comment and used it as motivation.

After five years working in the field Troy has recently taken a role as a personal trainer at Casey ARC in Narre Warren.

He’s come a long way. “He said I was physically incapable of doing the course, and having someone say something like that really hurts you,� Troy said. “I was extremely devastated, I was with my Dad at the time and I remember it, I bawled my eyes out for two hours. “But Dad gave me that encouragement, my Dad and my Mum, they encouraged me to do as much as I could and that helped me develop the right mindset and right work ethic.�

Troy cites his parents, Roland and Tracey, as two of the biggest inspirations in his life.

Personal trainer, Troy Hawkins at his second home, Casey Picture: DONNA OATES ARC. 145426 After enduring 18 surgeries so far in his life, Troy has remained determined and continues to chase his dream.

While he relies on crutches and a wheelchair, he has never been deterred from becoming a personal trainer. “I’ve always been interested in the sport field, and I’ve always wanted to do what everyone else was doing,� Troy said. “I’ve always wanted to push those boundaries.�

He also credits Casey ARC with giving him another fresh outlook on things. “Basically I found I needed a change from what I was doing previously,� he said of his new position at Casey ARC. “I saw the advert online and went through the interview process ... they gave me the job within a few weeks. “Working there has been really good; it’s just a great environment.�

‘Maturing’ is the positive way to get better with age

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

The new station is officially opened.

Brigade steps up to new HQ VICTORIA’S busiest fire station is now also the biggest.

The Dandenong Fire Brigade officially opened its new home on Saturday 10 October.

Members marched from the old station at 120-122 Princes Highway to the new station, 400 metres away at 186-194 Princes Highway.

Dandenong Fire Brigade Officer in Charge Paul Carrigg said the march symbolised the brigade leaving its 30-year-old post and assuming its vigil over the community in the new station.

“The new Dandenong Fire Station has been located and built to meet the current needs of the brigade responsible for protecting lives and property in this heavily populated and busy area,” he said.

“This integrated brigade responds to more than 2300 callouts per year - more than any other CFA brigade - so it was important to update the station to meet the ever-changing complexities of our work and the increasing demand for our services in the community.”

CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson said the 90-strong team of 50 volunteers and 65 career firefighters would respond not only to Greater Dandenong and surrounding areas, but other parts of Victoria with specialist appliances and skill sets.

“I have no doubt this $13 million state-of-the-art facility will boost service delivery to the local area and the rest of the

Officers march to the new station.

HIS motto is “I’m going to die happy” and for more than 10 years John Doutch has been spreading it all over Casey.

An ageing positively champion, Mr Doutch, 68, has been recognised in this year’s Victorian Seniors of the Year Awards taking home the COTA Senior Achiever Award on Thursday 1 October at Government House.

The Berwick resident of 16 years and avid volunteer said he was very humbled by the recognition.

“It may be a glass trophy with my name on it but it’s not about what I’ve got in my hand, it’s what it means,” Mr Doutch said.

Spreading his time between four volunteer-run organisations all based around ageing positively, Mr Doutch said the programs are about giving people the tools to deal with some of the challenges faced with ageing.

“We age from the day we are born but as we become more mature the number of challenges such as finance, health, selfesteem, loneliness and isolation increase,” he explained.

“As you grow older things can happen that you may not have expected, like caring for grandchildren and health conditions can change and you need to be able to manage them all psychologically.”

As the world trails behind the three W’s, Mr Doutch said the programs he is a part of are very much needed in Victoria’s ageing population.

John Doutch with his COTA award which he received at Government House earlier this month. 145340 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS “Things have changed and ‘if you want more information’ it always starts with w, w, w and people of a mature age haven’t been trained in that technology.

“Even though they are becoming more tech savvy, I can lead them to organisations that can assist with their needs instead of visiting a website,” he said.

Giving people a helping hand to remain independent, Mr Doutch said he may be 68 years old but he’s still young.

“Life expectancy is a lot longer in general which means there are more challenges to

overcome and the older generation can be typecast and seen as a burden.

“I do what I do because I want to give back to the community I’ve grown up with and assist people to age in a positive sense,” he said.

Winner of the City of Casey Senior Citizens Award last year, Mr Doutch said it’s nice to receive a thankyou every now and again.

“It was a fantastic experience to be in Government House and be presented with an award in front of the Governor of Victoria,” he said.

The new station has more room for people and trucks.

Pictures: BLAIR DELLEMIJN state now and into the future,” he said.

The station includes six fire truck parking bays, amenities for 16 on-shift staff, administration offices, large meetings areas, 51 car parking spaces, outdoor training areas including a dedicated road accident rescue training space, and a vehicle maintenance and cleaning area.

Construction started in December 2013 and the brigade moved in in July.

ter Jane Garrett said signalised direct access to Princes Highway would allow easier access to EastLink and improved response times to Dandenong North and Dandenong South.

“Having the best facilities will keep our communities safe, and help prevent our firefighters being harmed while they protect us all,” she said.

“It’s clear the bushfire season is upon us. It will be a long, hot and dangerous season for everyone - people need to prepare now.”

Kids set to catch IT bug early

ILLEGAL rooming houses, online gaming addictions and housing stress is on the rise in Casey, putting people on the edge of poverty.

Executive officer at Cranbourne Information and Support Service (CISS) Leanne Petrides said, on average, the community organisation gave away one swag a week.

“We have a drop in crisis support service, and about 20 per cent of the people that walk in for that service each month are brand new clients and are new to the area,” Ms Petrides said.

Giving away the swags donated by Cranbourne Rotary, Ms Petrides said housing stress was what drove people into CISS. “Sometimes, there’s nothing else we can do for them, but give them a swag and try and make them a little bit more comfortable which is really sad in a country like ours,” she said.

In the past 17 years, Ms Petrides has seen Casey’s population skyrocket along with disadvantage and poverty.

“When I first started, we would be lucky to see six people in a day and they’d come in for some help with food, yesterday we saw 32 just for emergency relief, and the amount of disadvantage tends to be a bit of a pattern with the new growth areas,” she said.

“People get really excited and aspirational, and they move in to the area because they’ve been able to just afford a mortgage, but they still might be living on the edge and things catch up.”

Ms Petrides said a lot of the people she saw in Casey were casually employed or on welfare benefits and when circumstances changed they struggled to support themselves.

“Their casual hours might get cut, they might get sick and they don’t get sick leave, they don’t get holiday pay and they

CASEY kinders will share in more than $20,000 to improve playrooms and boost technology.

The State Government announced successful Children’s Facilities Capital Program grant applicants on Tuesday 13 October.

Doveton College Early Learning will receive a $9500 Minor Infrastructure Refurbishment Grant - one of 122 handed out to refurbish playgrounds and improve access for children of all abilities.

The Government said grants went to 249 kindergartens for new laptops, tablets and other digital hardware.

Casey IT grant recipients included Cranbourne’s Bowen Street and Carlisle Park kindergartens and Arbourlea Kindergarten in Cranbourne North, which each received $1013.

Hallam Kindergarten also received $1013 while $1500 went to Goodstarts in Sherwood Road, Narre Warren South; Galloway Drive, Pound Road North and Pound Road South in Narre Warren; Lynbrook and Park Coral Drive and Somerville Road in Hampton Park.

Narre Warren’s Fleetwood Kindergarten and Fountain Gate Kindergarten will get $1500.

Poverty hitting home

CISS Executive Officer, Leanne Petrides, with a swag available from the centre. 145461 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS still have a mortgage or rent to pay and the majority are living on a very low income,” she said.

With many people spending up to 70 per cent of their low income on keeping a roof over their head, Ms Petrides said the bare necessities became unaffordable.

“Without a doubt housing stress in Casey South is the biggest driver of people seeking help.”

Out of what Ms Petrides calls pure desperation, she has witnessed both illegal and legal rooming houses, with up to four grown men sleeping in bunk beds increase across Casey.

“We have a more diverse population now, and we are seeing asylum seekers placed on community detention in Casey

living off 89 per cent of the lowest welfare, who are not allowed to work or study and still have to pay rent and food,” she said.

“So you can get six asylum seeker males living in one house just trying to get by, by pooling their welfare.”

“Some are registered, but some are illegal and the occupants would be homeless without them,” she said.

In recent months, CISS has also noticed a new trend in expensive shared bunk bed rooms which have increased right across Casey.

“It’s really sad- they are desperate,” Ms Petrides said.

Along with housing stress, the team at CISS recognise pokie machines as anoth-

er severe problem. “I think a bigger hidden issue is gambling, it’s more common in Casey than people realise,” Ms Petrides explained.

“People are more reluctant to speak up about their gambling addiction and how it’s impacting their lives because there’s a shame attached to it.”

But it’s not just gambling that’s burdening the Casey community- Ms Petrides said online gaming addictions are ruining relationships at a rapidly increasing rate.

“We have people who come in for counselling because their gaming is impacting their lives, sometimes we see their family members who can’t deal with it anymore and other times a couple will come in together,” she said.

James was aged 18 when he met English born Olivia, who was 19, and it took just two years for him to pop the question - but not without a bump in the road.

“Olivia’s mother said to me ’would you like to get married’ and I thought she was proposing to me,” James said.

However the misunderstanding was soon cleared up when James realised she was asking him to propose to her daughter.

So that he did with the tap

of her shoulder.

“I didn’t get down on one knee, I just held her shoulder and said will you marry me, and she said yes.”

Now with two children, Jean and Colin, and five grandsons, James and Olivia both in their eighties still travel, zumba dance and are what they call happily married.

“We just get on together,” James said.

With no plans made for their anniversary James said he hoped Olivia would be around to hear the cheers to their long, joy-filled marriage of 60 years, on Tuesday 27 October.

JAMES Barry hopes his wife Olivia will be home to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary because “he can’t drink two pints of champagne on his own”.

Best friends of 60 years, the couple has called Doveton home for the past 53 years and wouldn’t know what to do without the other.

James said the years had flown by and it’s all quite fascinating.

“It’s intriguing because you don’t think you’re going to hang around this long, but she’s my best friend, she’s always telling me what to do, but I’d be lost without her,” he said.

Meeting through Olivia’s brother Brian, James said he didn’t think he had a chance with Olivia, but he gave it a go anyway.

“I thought I’d get knocked back and she said yes, I was so surprised,” he said.

“I took her to the pictures for our first date, it was the civic theatre in Ashburton.”

Sharing a love for motorcycles with Olivia’s brother Brian, James said that was the one thing Olivia never approved of.

“She had a ride on the motorbike a few times but she didn’t think they were safe,” James said.

Called up as a National Serviceman, James had to leave his new love for the Puckapunyal Army Base - where he was surprised by Olivia when she came up to base to drop her brother off.

Jailed for abuse on Facebook

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Atipan co-ordinators Nicol Craig and Laurie North outside the River Gum Performing Centre in Hampton Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Park. 145466

Typhoon aid group to raise a storm

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH AID group Atipan is holding a night of cultural singing and dancing in Hampton Park to raise the final cash needed for typhoon safe refuge houses in the Philippines.

The project began following the devastation caused when Typhoon Yolanda struck the Philippines two years ago.

Atipan means ‘to care’ in Filipino and it has grown from a small group of Dandenong Baptist Church members to a not for profit project.

The committed team now has members from across Casey and Dandenong.

Atipan aimed to raise $25,000 to construct two concrete refuge houses to provide typhoon safe shelter in the Philippines.

The team has already raised $17,000 which has left the shelters half built.

Atipan co-ordinator, Laurie North, from Dandenong said after his first visit to the typhoon affected areas he knew a lot more had to be done.

“The devastation and damage was absolutely unbelievable.

“These people had nothing left,” Mr North said.

“It didn’t take long to realize that these lovely people would not be safe from typhoons for years to come,”

he said and with that the project was started and land was donated to build the safe houses.

Atipan is holding a night of cultural singing and dancing at the River Gum Performing Arts Centre in Hampton Park on 23 October to raise the final $8000 needed to finish the building.

Mr North said the shelters will be used day to day as work centres to enable the locals to earn some income.

“The two buildings combined can take a large number of villagers; they are the only safe buildings in the whole Iloilo district,” he said.

For more information on the project and to donate to the construction of the shelters visit www.atipan.com.

A NARRE WARREN South man has been jailed after pleading guilty to Facebook abuse of two victims in breach of a full family violence intervention order.

Lionel Ari Albert had denied to police he was bound by the order, which banned him from approaching and contacting the victims, or publishing on the internet about them, a court was told on 11 October.

According to a police summary, Albert - an ice user with an extensive history of drug possession and trafficking - had been kept in custody since arrested over the matters in Noble Park in late August.

In one of his Facebook posts in April-June, he had called one of the victims a “f***ing low life dog” and that she was a “full of s*** b****”.

Albert ended the message with “ps the turk will find you dog”.

The victim knew of “the turk” as Albert’s friend and someone known to act violently to women, according to the summary.

Albert admitted to police that he posted the items but denied to police that he knew “the turk”.

He told them he had the right to publish the posts, claiming not to

recognise the intervention order under the “Queen’s law”, according to the police summary.

Albert was also charged with harassing one of the victims, phoning up to seven times on a private number on 21 August and referring to “the turk” post.

“I have not breached anything.

Those are alleged lies. I never called her in my life,” he allegedly told police.

Albert was also charged with driving unlicenced, driving an unregistered vehicle, driving an unroadworthy vehicle and driving with false number plates in Noble Park on 3 April.

Magistrate Julie O’Donnell said the “distasteful” posts and phone calls had been frightening to the victim.

She said Albert’s offending contravened his community correction order at the time.

She didn’t penalise him for that since he’d otherwise completed 90 per cent of required appointments and unpaid work.

Albert was jailed for eight months and fined $1500 on the other matters.

His 45 days in remand were counted as time served in custody.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Garbage truckin’ along

By CASEY NEILL QUIET new garbage trucks and street sweepers will hit the road through Hallam’s Wastech Engineering.

The FAUN vehicles recently arrived from Germany and are a Variopress Rear Loader and a Viajet 6 Street Sweeper.

Wastech marketing co-ordinator Catherine Gardner-Gaskin said the trucks were unique in the market for a number of reasons.

“They are really quiet; with the German focus on the environment they tick a number of boxes environmentally; and they have some innovative engineering - all of which combined provide great payload, efficient running costs and ease of maintenance,” she said.

“One of the things that is interesting is that these trucks are so quiet the garbage and street sweeper rounds can be done at any time without breaking noise restrictions, which will make garbage collection quicker and out of normal traffic hours earning great efficiencies for waste collection.”

Recently Wastech acquired Tieman Field Service and Tieman Tail Lifts, increasing its workforce from 90 to 150plus employees with 60 mobile service vehicles nationally servicing the waste, recycling, tail lift and materials handling industries.

The company has also opened a $3 million purpose-built service centre in Hallam.

“Growing requirements for equip-

FAUN’s Mario Ringl, Neil Bone and Brett Jones from Wastech and Thomas Hoffmann from FAUN with the new trucks. 145218 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS ment repairs and servicing meant that Wastech had outgrown the previous service centre site and needed to move on to something bigger,” Ms GardnerGaskin said.

It has 1360 square metres of work-

ing floor space, 32 full-sized work bays, a 10-tonne overhead crane and 3036 square metres of equipment storage space.

“Wastech now has greater capacity to deliver the required equipment

maintenance demands of the waste industry, both private and government across greater Melbourne,“ Ms Gardner-Gaskin said.

“The centre will also become the national service administrative hub re-

sponsible for servicing more than 5000 equipment items throughout Australia.

“It caters for 24/7 assistance, ensuring that no site is ever left unattended.”

Wastech’s head office and manufacturing facility remain in Hallam.

Nomination shows beauty of business Retail

By CASEY NEILL IN BEAUTY Beaconsfield started out in Berwick in 1985.

It’s been in Beaconsfield for the past 20 years and offers beauty services ranging from basic waxing to IPL treatments.

It’s in the running for the Casey Cardinia Business Awards Retailer of the Year title alongside Berwick Mazda and Pawz Ink. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner a Cranbourne Racing Cen-

tre on 22 October.

“Our therapists give the best customer service through our passionate performance in all that is beauty,” In Beauty’s website said.

“Through forward thinking and continuing education our team is committed in unifying our skills and techniques to provide care, consistency and comfort to everyone who walks into our salon.”

Berwick Mazda has state-of-theart facilities and strives to incorporate Mazda’s ‘Zoom Zoom’ philosophy into everything it does.

“Since opening in 2005 we have established ourselves within the local community and have been proud to support many local clubs,” its website said.

“This is combined with the support we still show to the Greater Dandenong area, where we were based for 30 years

before moving to our new facility in Berwick.”

Nicole Timmons opened pet boutique Pawz Ink in Berwick Village two and a half years ago. She’s also in the running for the New Business of the Year Award.

“My very first job was at a pet shop.

I used to help wash the dogs,” she said.

“I always wanted to do a pet shop but with online sales I knew it wasn’t going to last.”

Grooming couldn’t be bought with a mouse click and sent through the post.

Pawz Ink offers grooming and clipping, accessories and pet care products, aromatherapy and massage, and more.

Ms Timmons expanded into Toorak last November, hopes to open in Warragul within the next year, and has her own shampoos, cologne and dog treats in the works.

PAKENHAM’S CarMegaMart has developed well beyond expectations since opening 19 months ago.

The Commercial Drive automotive retail development is home to both motor vehicle sales and supporting trades like mechanics and detailers, plus a caf¨¦ and finance office.

It’s in the running for the Casey Cardinia Business Awards New Business of the Year title alongside Metamorph CG and Pawz Ink. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner a Cranbourne Racing Centre on 22 October.

CarMegaMart’s Karlie Thexton said operations started in January last year.

“The land was available and obviously this is a major growth corridor for the south eastern suburbs,” she said.

“It’s definitely developed beyond our expectations.”

Ms Thexton said CarMegaMart wanted to lease its last three available yards and would start on Stage 3 development plans next year.

Pawz Ink is also in the running for the Retailer of the Year Award.

Owner Nicole Timmons said her staff made the business what it was. The Berwick salon welcomes roughly 100 customers each week.

“I’ve been overwhelmed and surprised by everyone’s loyalty,” she said.

“There’s about seven staff so we keep nice and busy.

CarMegaMart’s Karlie Thexton.

142858 Picture: ROB CAREW “We have lots of laughs together.

We spend more time together than family.”

Pakenham’s Metamorph CG specialises in innovation, and is also in the running for the Business and Professional Services Business of the Year title.

“We’re really categorised as an asset management company,” owner Simon Maselli said.

“They say ‘we’ve got this particular thing, we want to manufacture that better, cheaper, faster’.

“We work with them to enable that.”

MetamorphCG mostly services Melbourne’s south east but has international clients.

“I started off in my bedroom in my house myself for the first three months,” Mr Maselli said.

“Our plan is to open an interstate office in the next two to three years, and by 2020 we’re planning to have an international office somewhere.”

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A NARRE Warren student will soon be showcasing his smarts on the world stage.

Andrew Leong, who recently completed a PhD at Monash University, has been awarded a position as a post-doctoral researcher at John Hopkins University in Maryland, on America’s east coast.

The position, which could last up to five years, will see Andrew collaborate with a range of different teams, like the Defense Threat Reduction Agency which is responsible for countering weapons of mass destruction.

“My specific project is to study the damage induced on materials under different extreme circumstances such as missile attacks and earthquakes,” Andrew said.

“The knowledge gained from this will help improve the design of buildings and vehicles in withstanding such extreme circumstances.”

For his PhD Andrew investigated respiratory diseases - such as lung cancer, emphysema and cystic fibrosis - a leading cause of death among Australians.

Young boffin at the edge

WITH the auditions for the 2015 Casey’s Got Talent now done, an impressive line-up of local talent has been selected to take to the stage in the final on Saturday 24 October.

Tickets are now on sale for the Casey’s Got Talent Mayoral Charity Concert, to be held at the River Gum Performing Arts Centre, where 21 local acts will battle it out in the hope of being crowned the winners and collecting a range of great prizes.

River Gum Ward councillor and Casey’s Got Talent co-organiser Wayne Smith encouraged residents to book their tickets now for the final.

“The auditions were of a high-calibre and as a result, the final is shaping up to be a wonderful event showcasing

the many talented individual and group performers from across Casey,” Cr Smith said.

“The audience can expect to be entertained by singers, dancers and instrumentalists from ages five and up, who were selected as finalists following the audition process.”

Springfield Ward councillor and Casey’s Got Talent coorganiser Louise Berkelmans said the concert was not to be missed.

“Casey’s Got Talent is one way council supports and celebrates our wonderful performing arts community by giving them the opportunity to showcase their talent, gain experience and exposure and receive recognition.

“All proceeds from the charity concert will go to kids’

diabetes camps, which run camps for children with type one diabetes and their parents, to bring families together, facilitate peer support and to reduce stress and isolation.

“I encourage people to book their tickets now for the final and enjoy a night out supporting our local performers and a great local charity,” Cr Berkelmans concluded.

SPRING FEVER WITH

ROY ASPINALL For this week’s Spring Fever with Roy Aspinall go to

Humphreys leaps to top

By JARROD POTTER ROCKING up to the Southern Football League awards night last week, Keysborough midfielder Geoff Humphreys didn’t expect much more than a good night out ... let alone picking up the Division 2 league best and fairest.

Humphreys, 26, from Highett, leapt to the top of the polling in his inaugural SFL Division 2 campaign as the Burra mainstay polled 21 votes to knock off injured team mate Tyson King (15 votes) and Highett’s Jacob Duscher (14 votes).

Called to the podium to pick up his first piece of league silverware, Humphreys could not believe it was his name the umpires thought topped the league this season.

“Pretty surprised to be honest – I didn’t think much of it heading there,” Humphreys said. “Just went along and enjoyed the night with the rest of the crew and then they start reading the votes at round 15.

“They went from and I was on top from then and Tyson (team mate Tyson King) wasn’t going to play any more games, so I knew I had him covered.”

On an individual note, Humphreys was pleased with his season but was disappointed for the team as a whole as the Burra bowed out of the SFL Division 2 finals race in straight sets.

It wasn’t the end to the year they expected, after leading the league for a few rounds at the start of the season and ending second in the home-andaway season.

“Personal year I thought I went ok just apart from going down a couple of times,” Humphreys said. “Niggling injuries and I feel I’ve got a bit of work to do to get back stronger for next year.

“As a team, a pretty disappointing end to the year going out in straight sets – we did all the things right throughout the year but fell away at the preliminary.

“Injuries don’t help us with Kingy and Wilko (Corey Wilkinson) going down and inexperience by the young blokes as well not realising the position we were in.

“A lot of our blokes didn’t realise the position they were in to win a flag and what we had to sacrifice.”

But as a whole the transition from Casey Cardinia to Southern FNL received the thumbs up from Humphreys – as the club is trending upwards for the first time in many years.

“Without a doubt (the move was positive),” Humphreys said.

“Obviously, going off the last five years I’ve been there, the previous four years in Casey Cardinia have always been tough and we were always there abouts, but this has levelled the playing field heading across the board.

“The (SFL) players seem good, and it’s always a tough battle, no matter who you come across – at the end of the day it’s always 22 versus 22.”

He wanted to thank the club for their support, especially president Manny Scata for his hard Geoff Humphreys had the shock of his footballing life last week when the Keysborough work behind the scenes – especially getting ju- midfielder received the SFL Division 2 league best and fairest. 126160 Picture: JARROD POTTER niors back to the club.

Pressure’s off for draftees doing the hard yards

By JARROD POTTER THE hard work is finally over for a fleet of TAC Cup players after a gruelling week at the AFL National and State Combines.

Eight Dandenong Stingrays featured in the national combine – the final chance for AFL recruiters to test and evaluate this year’s batch of potential draftees.

Number one draft prospect Jacob Weitering, premier defender Keiran Collins, Narre Warren pair Gach Nyuon and Kurt Mutimer as well as Beaconsfield quartet Bailey Rice, Tommy Glen, Tom Jok and Brandon White performed admirably at the event.

Nyuon put his hand up as the premier ruckman in the draft as the All Australian equalled Nick Naitanui’s jumping records – hitting 362cm for the absolute running vertical jump.

From rough diamond to polished AFL prospect in three years as a footballer, Springvale resident Nyuon’s footballing growth has been astonishing and Dandenong Stingrays region manager Mark Wheeler said it had put the 201cm ruckman at the top of his area of expertise.

“Young Gach has been great, I got stopped about four or five times and congratulated for the amount of work we’ve been able to do with him,” Wheeler said.

“That’s a credit to himself and he’s grown up a lot in the last 12 months.

“He’s presented himself in a manner that he demands an audience – he’d sit in a corner before, but now he’s the funny bloke who can stand in the meetings.”

Also shining on the big stage, Weitering showed another string to his bow – running a 15.1 beep test impress out of the tall defenders while Collins’ clean hands test (29/30) and running personal best times kept him in recruiters’ minds as well.

Mutimer’s express 20m sprint – clocking in at 2.88 seconds – clinched the top time ahead of Alex Morgan, Daniel Rioli and team mate Glen (2.90).

“I think as a group itself they all presented themselves pretty well – Collins and Weitering were the standouts – the testing showed they’re both in the top 20,” Wheeler said.

“15.1 – shouldn’t be running that when you’re a key back and he shouldn’t be able to achieve what he does with his results, but he did.

“Performed in a professional manner, which was good for him.

“Collins was fantastic – PB his 3km time, 20m, repeats and the feedback we got was all the boys interviewed well with the clubs.”

The state combine had its hiccups with long wait times and a compressed schedule, but the Rouse boys still managed to excel in their beloved beep test, with Zach reaching 16.1 and Jordan getting into the 15s.

From now on the potential draftees’ fate rests in the hands of the recruiting staff ahead of November’s AFL National Draft, held in Adelaide.

At least half a dozen Stingrays will have their names called throughout the drafts, according to Wheeler, but he thinks there are up to 14 players ready to make the step up if they got their chance.

“Credit to the boys for all the hard work they’ve done, and it’s a tick to us that we’ve done everything and there’s not much we can do after that,” Wheeler said.

“We’ll get the follow up phone calls after they rejig the order and trade their picks – but I still reckon we believe have six to eight genuines who will go and a good four to six in the rookie chance window and we’re pretty happy with that.”

Gach Nyuon impressed at the AFL National Combine with starring efforts in the jumping and sprinting events.

Rain ends diamond rally

By JARROD POTTER INTERVENING weather stopped what could have been an exceptional comeback for the Berwick Diamonds on Sunday, downed in a called-off 16-30 loss to visiting Geelong Buccaneers.

The first term was toughly fought between each side’s 30-yard lines as neither Diamond nor Buccaneer could get off the chain.

With the sun baking down throughout the early phases of the clash, neither side was able to generate any sizeable forward momentum, with punting and Hail Mary fourth down attempts the order of the day.

Both defences crunched in for a number of tackles - including a superb run-down effort from line-backer Silia Johnson to stop a Buccaneers first down (and potentially more).

Geelong finally broke the shackles in the air - as quarterback Kendra Niba made two great passing plays to set up their first touchdown half-way through the second term.

The Buccaneers made the two-point conversion with another piece of aerial acrobatics to take the 8-0 lead but the Diamonds were never dusted as the points started to pile on after the half.

Geelong piled on the points as it worked its way up to 30 points for the afternoon, but the Diamonds dug deep to stick with them.

Sarah Mu made one of the third term scores to bring the gap back to 14, but to the home-side’s dismay, once the Diamonds got their offence going, the chaotic spring weather started to encroach.

A lightning storm lashed Rawling Field and the officials decided to call the game early with eight minutes remaining in the fourth term, just as the Diamonds reached their red-zone and were tipping the match in their favour.

Diamonds coach Alan Murphy was disappointed to see the match called off, especially as the passing shower would have only required a short delay of game.

“We scored twice in the third quarter in quick succession and had driven down and were fourth down and missed a pass then we pinned them back in their own five-yard line,” Murphy said.

“With eight or nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, it should only take 20 or 25 minutes.

“That’s looking at least three or four offensive incursions and having them pinned would have made them nervous and if they punted and we got them back to the 15-20, we could have got them in.

“I didn’t see why we couldn’t wait 45 minutes for the rain to clear and it cleared within 15 or 20 minutes, so the players and coaches were disappointed it couldn’t be out.”

Murphy praised his offensive stars Fale Uini (quarterback), Judith Fili Fa’auli and Sam Kelly (wide receivers) and on the defence Johnson and Marie Neophytou. The Diamonds sit fourth on the Gridiron Victoria women’s ladder behind Northern Lady Raiders, Croydon Rangers and Geelong Buccaneers.

The Diamonds are first up on Sunday morning at their Sydney Pargeter

A charging reverse run helped Geelong make this fourth down conversion. 145457 Reserve home field - their last game of the season before finals battling the Melbourne Uni Chargers from 10am; a must-win match to make finals.

The club is donning the pink socks, laces and headbands and probably even

the war paint for the Breast Cancer Council Australia - to help raise money to combat the disease. The Berwick Miners junior boys were up first on Sunday and despite a hard-edged, bruising performance against Monash, the

Miners had to settle for a 12-24 defeat.

Any women interested in joining the club are encouraged to contact the Diamonds via their Facebook by searching for “Berwick Miners Diamonds Womens Gridiron”.

Slater is back to base and at helm

By JARROD POTTER IT WAS time for Scott Slater to return to Hallam.

Having honed his own skills in the Hawks’ colours in the ‘80s - winning a junior flag at the club as an under-15 - Slater wanted to give the next generation of Hallam footballers the same chance to flourish at Hallam Reserve.

“I was born and bred in Hallam, so it’s in my blood a bit and just wanted to give a bit back to the junior comp and junior club that I was a part of three years ago back then,” Slater said.

“Trying to build something that we can look back in five or 10 years’ time and think ‘yeah, that was fun’.”

Entering its fifth year in the

league with a desire to finally get off the foot of the SFL Division 3 ladder, Hallam Football Club took the decision to advertise for its senior coaching role despite having an incumbent ready to continue.

“It is pretty exciting to be honest - four-year-old club to make the jump well and truly up the ladder,” Slater said.

He replaces 2015 coach Gary Frangalas - who reapplied for his job next year - but Slater was picked over the former AFL player for his development experience and local knowledge.

“The big thing was because of my seven years with the Stingrays development squad, they wanted someone who could concentrate on youth with the local kids in

the area,” Slater said.

“I bring a lot to the table I’ve been focused on kids for quite a long time, and I’ve got to the stage where I wanted to take the next step and challenge, and Hallam is something we can grow from the ground up.”

The club has re-signed a couple of its senior players already - Luke Johnson and Tristan Callander - but will lose best and fairest Nathan Prosser who is off to pursue higher opportunities in different leagues.

Hallam Football Club is hosting a Meet the Coaches Day on Sunday at Hallam Hotel from 5pm to 7pm. For more information on the club, visit www.hallamfootballclub. com.au.

A new look coaching line-up is set to lead Hallam Football Club into 2016. Left to right, Matt Brew, Kam Dorling, Yul Mustapha, Scott Slater, Scott McKenzie, Sean Duffy and Manny Peresso.

Petrol consumption was in the six to seven litres per 100 kilometres range in highway and motorway cursing, rising to eight to 10 litres around town.

Chassis fine-tuning as part of the update combines with Audi quattro all-wheel drive system and speed-sensitive power steering.

The set-up gives the Q3 surprisingly agile handling for a tallish SUV. There’s a hint of understeer when the vehicle is driven hard, but we’ve experienced worse.

Noise and vibration are well damped and only the roughest of Aussie back roads will create anything remotely approaching unpleasant sounds.

Although chiefly aimed at buyers who want a prestige German wagon, the Audi Q3 can also be used to explore bush tracks with plenty of competence.

AUDI and its two prestigious German rivals are locked in serious sales combat in the midsize SUV crossover market.

Audi’s Q3 recently received a midlife makeover to increase its fitness for the fight.

Part of this revamp is the use of electronic stabilisation control that can be set up in two stages.

The ESC off-road mode adjusts ABS and the electronic differential lock.

Audi Q3 maintains the almost coupe profile that has come to characterise many modern crossover SUVs. Those looking for a big load-lugging station wagon should probably shop elsewhere.

The single-frame radiator grille and wraparound tailgate follows the very successful theme Audi has been using in its range for some time.

This facelift sees redesigned headlights that are now xenon plus for added illumination.

If that’s not enough optional LED headlamps can be selected.

These work in combination with dynamic turn signals which are also integrated into the restyled LED taillights.

Our test car was fitted with the 2.0-litre TFSI turbo-petrol engine producing 132 kW of power and 320 Nm of torque.

It can run from rest to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds.

The 1.4-litre TFSI engine in the Q3 entry-level model now uses Audi’s Cylinder on Demand (CoD) technology to reduce fuel use and emissions.

With two of the four cylinders shutdown under light throttle loads, Audi says that fuel saving is up to 20 per cent.

At the top of the infotainment range is MMI navigation plus with rotary pushbutton and 7.0inch monitor displaying graphics and navigation map in 2D or 3D. The Bose surround sound in our test Q3 had a 10-channel, 465-Watt amplifier driving 14 speakers, including a subwoofer.

Cleverly, it uses a microphone to analyse intrusive noises and adjusts playback accordingly.

Brilliant sound can be enjoyed to the full.

The Audi Q3 achieves the maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating.

There is a range of advanced driver assistance systems to help avoid a crash; side assist, active lane assist, high-beam assist and hill descent control, along with electric folding and dimming exterior mirrors.

Some of these items aren’t standard on all models.

The engine is a delight to sit behind, very responsive after the expected few moments of turbo lag and willing to charge past vehicles being overtaken with a minimum of time on the wrong side of the road.
