Workshops weaving the way TWINING and coiling were the past-times of choice at Dandenong’s Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens last week. Artist Adrienne Kneebone demonstrated weaving techniques at the Indigenous Weaving Workshop last Tuesday, 5 August. Participants learned about local plant harvesting and how fibres were prepared, and walked away with baskets they’d made themselves. The event was part of City of Greater Dandenong’s textiles celebration Cultural Threads, which runs until 31 August.

Windborne arsenic and mercury fears after toxic waste dump’s contaminated soil trial...
Poisoned land CONTAMINATED soil could be blown onto neighbouring businesses, a childcare centre and homes from Lyndhurst’s toxic waste dump. Tony O’Hara, a member of the tip’s community reference group, has expressed fear over a planned trial that will allow contaminated soil to replace cleanfill as a daily cover at the dump. The tip’s operator SITA last week announced that state environmental watchdog the Environment Protection Agency had approved the six-month “unique” trial, due to start this month.
The EPA had deemed the trial’s “overall risk” as “low”. But Mr O’Hara said the soil could contain arsenic, mercury and lead at higher than normal levels. “The bottom line, really, is that this material has poisonous elements in there, hazardous material,” he said. “There is potential for it to be blown around the area. “People could come into contact with it.” He said the tip had previously used cleanfill as a cover to protect hazardous material escaping. “There’s a whole lot of factories
being built right up to the fenceline of this landfill,” he said. “Those are the people who are going to cop it the most. “They are quite likely to be exposed to whatever is blown from this landfill site.” Mr O’Hara said that if the trial failed, “they will have exposed people to hazardous materials”. “As far as I’m concerned this is morally and ethically one of the worst things they can do,” he said. Residents Against Toxic Waste in the South East (RATWISE) member Thelma Wakelan, who also sits on the
community reference group, labelled the decision a “backward step”. “Up until now, it hasn’t been allowed – contaminated soil has either had to be treated or disposed, not used as a cover,” she said. “We don’t believe there has been enough research gone into this. There are so many people living and working near the landfill. “It’s an absolutely economic decision. The only advantage we can see is a financial advantage to the tip operator.” The landfill neighbours an industrial estate and is within a kilometre of a Lynbrook housing estate and childcare centre.
Sharons
During the trial, a minimum 300 millimetres of the category-C contaminated soil will cover the tip’s Cell 12C each day. SITA state general manager Kelvin Sargent insisted the practice made sense “from an economic and environmental perspective”. “The trial will see the use of restricted category-C soil as a daily cover rather than purchasing cleanfill soil that can be utilised elsewhere.” He said the category-C soil was a “low-level contaminated soil waste that is already destined for landfill”.

Trafficking charges after home raids
GIVE US A HAND
Support statement By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong’s push for more federal resources for asylum seekers living in the community was given a ringing endorsement at an inter-council forum last Wednesday. Nineteen Victorian councils, as well as State Government representatives, refugee advocates and welfare agencies, got behind the bulk of a pro-asylum seeker joint statement at the meeting at Dandenong Civic Centre. After the meeting, Greater Dandenong councillor Roz Blades - the statement’s initiator - was confident of strong support for a solution to the “humanitarian crisis”.
“It’s been the most collaborative thing by different councils on one issue I’ve seen in 23 years,” she said. “Several rural councils, such as Colac-Otway, Hepburn as well as Greater Geelong, travelled for the forum. “It showed people were interested in the broad thrust of the resourcing issue.” Under the statement, the councils will call for the Federal Government to provide more effective resourcing for settlement, housing, emergency relief and material aid. It will also push for the government to provide councils with timely information on asylum seeker arrivals to ensure they have adequate
support, and to grant work rights to asylum seekers. Glen Eira Mayor Neil Pilling, though “personally in favour”, told the forum he doubted his council and other “conservative middlemetropolitan” councils would support abolishing work bans because they acted as a deterrent. Cr Blades said work rights would take the pressure off stretched agencies and volunteers. “There’s less strenuous work for the volunteers. It’s pivotal in that sense. I hope we can work around that issue.” She praised the Journal’s special edition last week for setting the meeting’s “positive tone”.
“You set the tone for conciliation and working together. “As a local paper, you’ve picked up on a community view and it impressed people from other councils. “It’s been a team effort - the Journal, Greater Dandenong Council, its staff and local government agencies.” The final joint statement will include suggested tweaks from the floor of the forum, and be sent to all Victorian councils to individually endorse it. Cr Blades expects a delegation of mayors and Municipal Association of Victoria representatives will visit Canberra to present the statement later this year.

Butcher’s sausage has just one snag EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THERE’S a jokey saying at Dunav Butchers - anyone who is not able to pronounce the name of its famous chevapchichi sausages is not allowed to buy them. Director Nada Radovanov has preserved the traditional Balkan butchery’s traditions such as these hard-topronounce skinless snags and has kept its loyal clientele happy since 1970. At its busiest weeks, about 5000 kilos of chevapchichi - in beef, chicken and pork-beef varieties - are sold.
Among the butcher’s 13-strong staff are Carly, Oskar, Ana, Roman, Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Stanija, John and Lukica. 125217 “The majority of our clients at first were Serbs and Croatians from the former Yugoslavia. “But now we’ve got the ‘Aussies’
who still can’t pronounce chevapchichi.” Ms Radovanov is loathe to give away the recipe handed down by
her late father and butchery founder Svetislav who adapted it from when he was an apprentice in northern Serbia. “Only myself and my mother (Stanija) know the recipe.” What she can say is that they are thrice-minced, glued together with a modicum of breadcrumbs in the absence of a sausage membrane, and may contain garlic. The result is a light yet filling meat that is gluten-free. It is not clogged by water and fillers found in inferior snags. “It should not be cooked like a steak, but constantly turned,” Ms Radovanov said. “I can’t stand it when I see people burn them on their barbecues.” Other popular products are the
shop’s bacons, beef and pork that are smoked on the premises. Ms Radovanov said she was almost born in the shop. She has worked there for 23 years, taking over the reins after Svetislav died in 2010. “Some of these customers I’ve known since I was a child. Some of them span across four generations.” She decided to reward the butcher’s oldest customers by offering a 10 per cent seniors discount - which will double for one day only on 1 October to mark the International Day of Older Persons. “The discount is just to say thank you to them.” Dunav Butchers is open MondaySaturday at 209 Springvale Road Springvale.

operating since April at the health centre in Potter St, Dandenong West (alongside Wallara). Mayor Allemand congratulated Dandenong U3A on its enthusiasm and successful beginning, which he said was reflected in the growth of membership to 90 financial members.
Pinoaks survive for only 90-120 years. It is a wetland tree, has shallow roots and has drooping lower branches that interfere with access for traffic and pedestrians - our removed natives did not have any of these issues and also had the added benefit of supporting native wildlife. Surely, community consultation should have been undertaken given such a sensitive issue - even a mixture of the deciduous and natives would have been far better. Guy Di Domenico, Dandenong.
LOOKING BACK
50 years ago 19 August 1964 New Type - Library for Dandenong A NEW type of library has been set up at Parkdale which might well be copied in Dandenong, said Cr Fotheringham at Dandenong Council’s meeting last week. “We have urgency for a new library in this municipality,” he said. On Cr Fotheringham’s motion, council decided to write to Mordialloc Council asking for details of
the Parkdale library. The motion was seconded by Cr Schoon who asked if anything further had been heard about council’s application to the Free Library Board. The Town Clerk (Mr Elliott) said he had received nothing. The Mayor (Cr Downard) said council was awaiting a report and he would prefer to have a full discussion when all facts were presented.

100 years ago 13 August 1914 A VISITOR in the London district was paying calls on the folk in a row of cottages, and was shocked by the conduct of a shabbily-dressed old gentleman, who passed from door to door in a great rage, and threatened the occupants with all manner of dire penalties. “Dear me, what a peculiar old man,” she exclaimed to one of the tenants. “Why do you permit him to abuse you in that fashion?” “Oh we don’t mind in the least, Ma’am,” answered the tenant, with a twinkle in his eye. “We’re quite used to his little ways by now. He’s been a harmless lunatic for ten or eleven years.”

Family plea to thieves By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CRANBOURNE student Tony Jakupi hopes thieves who stole his recently deceased father’s tip-truck and skid loader might feel a pang of conscience. Tony’s father John Jakupi had lived humbly and contentedly on a pension in Shawlands Caravan Park in Dandenong and was too proud to take money from wellto-do relatives. He had bequeathed the vehicles to Tony to set him up financially. “The truck, bobcat and caravan were all the assets he had. “The plan was to sell (the vehicles) and help me towards a deposit on a house,” Tony said. “He was throwing whatever bits of money he had on the truck. “He wanted to go back to Yugoslavia to visit his 90-year-old
father on the left-over money.” John died at his caravan from a heart attack last month just after buying new tyres for the truck. Tony, who studies architecture and lives with a partner and five children in Cranbourne, was hoping to use some of the proceeds from the sale of the vehicles - expected to be about $36,000 - to fund a tombstone for his father. “If only (the thieves) knew the circumstances... it’s the only means I have to fund his grave. “If they had any heart at all, perhaps they can just bail them on the road and call Crime Stoppers.” Greater Dandenong detectives believe thieves in a darkcoloured SUV stole the unregistered truck loaded with the skid loader early on 31 July. The vehicles had been parked on a slip
lane in front of a business at 65 South Gippsland Highway, Dandenong - not far from the caravan park. A friend of Tony’s - who lived in the caravan park - had spotted the SUV parked next to the vehicles between 3am and 3.15am. When he returned five minutes later, the truck and skid loader were gone. “He thought there was something a bit sus. He’s kicking himself in a way,” Tony said. “I’m shocked that I parked them there that afternoon. The next morning they were gone. “I hardly slept the first few nights. I’ve been driving around late at night, looking for (suspicious) four-wheel-drives.” The truck is a white 1980s Isuzu with the numberplates 1AV1KL, the skid loader is a yellow 1999 Mustang 2050 model. Tony said the truck could not

Struggling mum launches anti-budget petition By CASEY NEILL A NOBLE Park North single mum has said the proposed Federal Budget will make life more difficult for the community’s most vulnerable. Sera, who didn’t want her full name published, has started a petition against several budget measures. The youngest of her two children has autism and attends Springvale Park Special Developmental School. Sera said it was difficult to work and give her son the care he
needed so she relied on welfare support payments. “The current budget affects many vulnerable people in the society,” she said. Sera is opposed to cuts to the Family Tax Benefit Part B on the grounds that many families were struggling with day-to-day living, earning just enough to pay rent or a mortgage, bills and food. She said parents of children with special needs, carers or single parents had to rely on Centrelink income.
may cause serious consequences for the patients.” Sera is also calling for more disability support from the government. “The $80 billion cut to public schools funding already damages the school communities,” she said. “Together with the rising cost of living, it is an extra burden for us as parents.” She said children with special needs couldn’t access funding for sessions with specialists - speech or occupational therapists, psy-
“Because they can spare only one person working and another person has to do extra work at home more than normal households,” she said. “We also need to take our children to specialists, costing extra money.” Sera said a GP co-payment would also hurt vulnerable people including the young, elderly and people with special needs. “Charging $7 for each visit is still a lot of burden for those who are on poverty lines,” she said. “Skipping the doctor visits

A WOULD-be robber armed with a Stanley knife has been thwarted and chased out of two milk bars in quick succession. Detective Senior Constable Adam Dixon of Greater Dandenong CIU said in his first attempt the man produced the knife and demanded cash from a 47-year-old female shop-owner in a milk bar at Beauvorno Avenue, Keysborough, on 4 August about 12.50pm. The shop-owner armed herself with a metal pole and chased the man out of the shop. He escaped westward on Beauvorno Avenue in a silver-coloured car with another occupant. Minutes later, the man tried the same routine in a milk bar in Yarraman Road, Noble Park. He was chased out by a 48-year-old male shop attendant wielding a hockey stick. The would-be robber was described as Caucasian, 185 centimetres, skinny and wearing a black hoody. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING RE: Library in firing line IT IS actually really good to see the community so involved in what is happening with its iconic buildings. If they threatened to tear down ours I am sure a lot of us would have something to say! Audrey Greenwood, via web. RE: Merger mess WE NEED schools in our area, especially with the new growth areas and no promises of new schools being built. Too many of these mergers mean that sound buildings are being left derelict and not being used to their full potential when students and community groups need bigger facilities. The Maralinga site would make a great environmental campus or, like the Oakwood site, a quiet setting for students who need intervention with their learning. Save Maralinga before we lose another school to development. In our prime this area had many schools to choose from. In recent times these have been reduced dramatically, not from declining enrolments but government policy. When do we get a say in what infrastructure we want to save, like the Dandenong library site? Cybil, via web. RE: Library in firing line THE community needs the facilities offered by the former Dandenong library already suited for this purpose rather than extra car parks, especially when Aldi moves to the Plaza. Compared to the parking is-
sues in central Dandenong near the new council buildings, even with an expansion of the market the parking will be much better there in comparison without demolishing the former Dandenong library. And why expand the market when it is already struggling to keep enough customers now? Building developers may be the only ones to benefit from this when the new buildings and the rent there goes up to cover costs, if it goes ahead! Compared to offices in Clow Street, the former Dandenong library would not need as much cost to bring it up to community use since it was already designed for that purpose, with suitable access and car parking already, with homes close by. Susan Smith, via email. Re: It’s None of Our Business But ..... Journal 28 July THE column warned people about telecommunications scams doing the rounds. For more than a year I had similar several calls telling me that my computer had a virus. Later I had others call pretending to represent Telstra. On the last call I told the caller that he was wasting his time and he told me that he was ringing from Melbourne and not from overseas as I thought. Angrily the caller told me that my computer was going to crash next day, it did not happen. If it’s of any help this caller has English accent, typical of those people coming from India. J.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… NEWS reports last week may have put a pin through one of the most persistent UFO mysteries - the 1966 Westall incident. The most likely explanation, according to one researcher, is an errant balloon used to test radiation levels after Maralinga nuclear testing drifted from Mildura to The Grange reserve near Westall High School, Clayton South. As reported by the Journal at the time, students and teachers were sworn to silence after the en masse sighting of the silver craft described as spaceshiplike.
GREATER Dandenong SES last Monday welcomed seven new members to its ranks. They come from a variety of walks of life and one, Donna Baker, was a member at the old Springvale SES some 20 years ago. The crew now has 33 members. Visit www. greaterdandenongses. org.au for information about volunteering.
PAT and Margaret Reynolds got a surprise for their 50th wedding anniversary - their three children, their partners and their grandchildren flew down to Melbourne for a party. Pat is a past Lyndale United Soccer Club president, team manager and treasurer and Margaret ran the canteen for many years, so many club members were there to celebrate. They were involved with Lyndale for more than 20 years and lived in Noble Park North for 35 years before retiring to Queensland. HILTON Manufacturing’s Night of Enchantment gala charity dinner and auction raised more than $75,000 on 25 July. Organiser Margo Hartley said more than 300 people attended the event at Sandown Greyhound Racing Club. The proceeds will be split between Dandenong’s new day care and empowerment centre and Mercy Ships. “We appreciate the generosity of local businesses,” Margo said. “It was magnificent.” LAUGHS don’t usually abound at political functions but Manufacturing Minister David Hodgett earned a few chuckles at a recent event in Dandenong South. “If I’ve missed you you’re probably a Collingwood supporter and it doesn’t

Growing service By CASEY NEILL WALLARA has expanded its support for young adults with disabilities into Pakenham and Baxter. The Doherty Street address in Pakenham is the Dandenongbased service’s first Cardinia location in its 55-year history. Michelle Smith, a Wallara general manager, said it would house a high support day service to help participants with communication and independence skills, accessing their community and sensory-based activities. “They are more often than not non-verbal and maybe have physical disabilities along with intellectual disabilities and pretty much need us for just
v
about everything,” she said. “They need a lot of assistance so it’s a small ratio. We can get them out and about into the community.” Wallara will also use the space for young adults who want to learn more about work options and independent living and travelling skills, and participate in social and recreational activities. “It’s about people having social roles in the community and making friendships,” Ms Smith said. Wallara special projects senior manager Sue Rolland said clients spent time at Sages Cottage Farm in Baxter each week. “They do a variety of things, from gardening with some assistance from our community
volunteers to caring for the animals, which includes cleaning out their enclosures, feeding and grooming and, of course, lots of cuddles,” she said. “Some who are unable to do these things enjoy being outdoors, which feels like they are out in the country.” The local council, parents and passionate volunteers established Wallara in 1959 to help kids with a disability in the Dandenong area. It reinvented itself in 2007 and today delivers services to about 550 people from 30 sites across Melbourne’s south-east. Wallara’s mission is to empower the people it supports to live the life they choose. Call 9792 2985 for more information.

COMING TO SANDOWN PARK SUNDAY 17 AUGUST 2014
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council is exploring how it can ensure the survival of the 143-year Dandenong Show tradition. Councillor Matthew Kirwan last month said the annual show was vulnerable, especially if foul weather drove away crowds in consecutive years. “It increasingly ... faces the challenges of such shows being expensive to run, the increasingly multicultural nature of Greater Dandenong and the need to market itself to a region not just a municipality. “A bumper crowd and profit one year can be followed by a number of years of poor weather leading to years that leave the event in the red.” Cr Kirwan proposed the council consider a “partnering role” to ensure the viability of the show, which he descibed as a “much loved institution”. Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society president Ricky Ferris said show crowds could range from 10,000 in poor weather to 20,000 in good conditions. “In the last few years, the weather has been the difference between a loss or a profit.

What is the TAB Great Chase? The Great Chase ofers community groups caring for the intellectually or physically disabled an opportunity to experience the thrill of greyhound racing whilst cheering on their very own greyhound. Over 150 Victorian community groups are invited to attend free days at their local greyhound club where they will be partnered with a greyhound that will run on their behalf throughout the series. Crowds were down at last year’s Dandenong Show due to rain. 109816 “We don’t set out to make much of a profit - we try to keep costs down for families. “If we have too many more bad years we mightn’t be able to survive them.” He said the show needed help attracting “big name” sponsors as well as to get pa-
trons from a range of cultural backgrounds. “We’ve been one of the biggest shows in the area for a long time. “It’s vital for the area too the Royal Melbourne Show is expensive so this is an affordable chance for locals to see the animals and the showbags.”
Thieves take tradies’ tools for a walk POLICE have warned of the rising number of tool boxes being stolen from the back of tradies’ utes in Greater Dandenong. Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton of Greater Dandenong
CIU said the thefts had mainly targeted vehicles parked in the street overnight. “Many of the utilities have had canopies unlocked or defective in some way,” Detective Kirton said.
He suggested tradies keep a record of serial numbers of valuable tools to help police track them down if they were stolen. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Archive’s treasures THE mother of a terminally ill former student, the victim of a house fire and the grandson of a foundation teacher are among those who have found precious information about themselves and their relatives in the rich archives at Dandenong High School. The history unit of the Dandenong High School Ex-Student Association has been diligently sorting through a backlog of archival material acrued by Dandenong High School, the former Cleeland Secondary College and Doveton Secondary College prior to the three schools’ amalgamation in 2007. DHSESA president Greta Jungwirth said the history unit was established in the mid-1990s to safeguard historical records and memorabilia for the future. She and other volunteers knew what a treasure trove of material was in their care but they were surprised by the requests from exstudents, teachers and their families that quickly started to trickle in once work on the archives began. The first was from the daughter of a former teacher. Her father had died when she
Former teacher Greta Jungwirth (1976-82), Linda Boulton, Ralph Halder and Nicholas Raftopoulos are custodians of Dandenong High School’s history. 124545 was young and she was searching for information about him. A torn half page in a magazine revealed her father had been engaged to a female member of staff. The second request came from the mother of a former student who was dying from an incurable disease.
Copies of all references and records and photos featuring her son were hastily gathered and sent to Queensland. Mrs Jungwirth said many people approached the unit with requests for information and photographs of parents and grandparents. Recently, the history unit volun-
teers unearthed archival material for the grandson of foundation teacher Dorothy McKinnon. Miss McKinnon, the art teacher from 1919 to 1930, designed the school emblem. “A search of the 1920s collection in the archives enabled her grandson to scan many photos and magazine entries for his family history. “As a result the family has decided to establish a perpetual art prize in honour of Miss McKinnon and her service to the school.” Over the years the collection has grown with donations from teachers, former students and families of former students. “We began with one drawer of items that had been kept in the library. “We now have a dedicated room with two storerooms in the 1920s building and two areas at the Ann Street campus for the Doveton and Cleeland archives.” For further details go to www. dhs-exstudents.synthasite.com. Anyone interested in joining the DHSESA can contact secretary Gary Matthews at gazzcazz@hotmail.com.
Strictly speaking, this is an old school reunion FORMER students and teachers of Dandenong Girls’ High School, Dandenong North High School and Cleeland High School will gather for a reunion on Saturday 13 September. Organiser Colleen Bailey expects up to 400 people to gather in the hall at the Ann Street campus to reminisce, look at displays of memora-
bilia and tour the old school. She said the response to a Facebook campaign promoting the reunion had been overwhelming. “We didn’t quite realise it would become this big. We’ve created a monster.” Ms Bailey attended the school between 1969 and 1973 when it was an all girls school.
“I remember it was very strict. “There were prefects standing at the gate before school checking hats and gloves.” She hopes the reunion will allow people to rekindle friendships that were important in their school days. One of the guests at the reunion will be Colleen’s
best friend from Dandenong Girls’ High. Despite both living in Melbourne, the women haven’t seen each other in more than 30 years. “It’s amazing how many people have contacted me. “There are 12 teachers coming as well. “The hardest part has been getting in touch with
many of the students who went to the girls’ school who have since changed their names.” The reunion costs $10 per head. For more information contact Colleen Bailey on 0439 636 508 or go to the Dandenong Girls High School Old Girls Facebook page.

Family’s second life journey By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AN ASYLUM seeker family fears its “second life� safely settled in Greater Dandenong could be snatched away at any moment. The Journal last week met a Tamil family Mr and Mrs A and two children who had fled Sri Lanka and now live in a basically furnished house. Their true identities have been concealed because they fear being deported to Sri Lanka by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. The parents said their lives have been in limbo in Australia for a year while they wait for the department to decide if they can stay. Mr and Mrs A, who are among about 3000 asylum seekers living in Greater Dandenong, both bear significant physical wounds from the Sri Lankan conflict. They claim they lost everything and fled when the Sri Lankan government seized their home and business. They endured two years eking out a living in India, which does not recognise asylum seekers’ rights, followed by a perilous three-week journey in a dodgy boat from India to end up in Australian detention centres. Most important for them now is that their children are finally safe. “If we’re just allowed to stay, we’re happy,� Mr A said. “Compared to life in Sri Lanka, at least we’re not fearing for our lives. “This is our second life.� Mrs A describes living in Australia as “peaceful�. “The children don’t have that fear
A Tamil asylum seeker family wants to make Australia its permanent home. 125240 of harassment now,� Mrs A said. “They’re a lot happier because they can go to school and have a life here. “When in Sri Lanka, anything could happen at any time.
“The children didn’t go to school because we didn’t know if they would make it home.� The family settled into their home without food and just the clothes on their back.
Picture: GARY SISSONS
A community volunteer “heard there was a family with nothing� from Tamil contacts in the region and was able to tide over the family with food and supplies. The Red Cross supplied the family
with a fridge, washing machine, beds and mattresses. Like others on bridging visas, Mr and Mrs A struggle on a meagre government allowance – 89 per cent of the dole. They often sit idle at home during the day because they have no work or study rights. “We still feel we’re different from the rest of the community. “We don’t have full rights to live the life that others have,� Mrs A said. They are still paying off a loan for the $10,000 which they had to pay for their journey. During the trip, their boat broke down after four days and was fixed by a passing vessel, was caught in a storm, and seasickness was rife. “We were just relieved to land on shore alive,� Mr A said. The family stayed about eight weeks in detention centres in Christmas Island and Darwin, again weighed down with uncertainty about where they would be sent. Both children are voracious readers and keen students but on Christmas Island they were deprived of books. In Darwin, there was at least a library but the children remember the dreary experience of being locked indoors for long periods. The son said the detention centres were a “sad place� because “we were put in a cell�. “We weren’t allowed to go to school and not allowed to see friends in other parts of the camp.�

Heart warming dawn
House extension stress outlet
By CASEY NEILL
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
BRAND New Day is growing and so are the people visiting the care and empowerment service. Manager Margo Hartley opened the converted home in Foster Street East, Dandenong, in November last year. “Things are going very well here,” she said. “We’ve got so many volunteers offering to do things. The garden looks beautiful. “We’re running nearly three courses a day. “It is the joy and the smiles on their faces - it warms your heart.” Brand New Day is designed to help people in need to learn skills and make friends through classes in life skills, referral assistance, counselling and support. The help she’s received has exceeded Mrs Hartley’s expectations - as has the demand. There are more than 140 people on the Brand New Day books. “We are getting mainly refugees and migrants,” she said. “The reason I started this place up was I knew there were a lot of Aussie battlers out there.” She said many refugees were not permitted to work. “We’re finding that a lot of those people are depressed, can’t get out of bed in the morning to get here to their courses,” she said. “I would love to start a course on depression.”
DANDENONG Neighbourhood House has stretched itself across 15 off-site campuses to help keep a large band of asylum seekers active. Its humble house-sized quarters in King Street has been stretched beyond capacity by a five-daya-week program of English, computing, cooking, woodwork, gardening and volunteering lessons. Manager Robyn Coslovich estimates that between 100 and 150 asylum seekers and refugees visit the neighbourhood house each week. Its weekly client total is up to 450. As its numbers have swelled, it has moved classes out to satellite venues such as Cornerstone Contact Centre in Dandenong. “Because of those different sites, that’s creating an issue of managing what’s going on at each one. “However, I don’t want to lose that community connection. We’ve had a lot of success going out to where people are.” Ms Coslovich wants corporate sponsors to support the hive of programs with funding or volunteering staff for tuition. She said it was important to offer engaging activities to help otherwise idle asylum seekers thwart depression and self-harming. One of its latest options is to run sessions at a premises leased by Friends of Refugees in Leslie Street, Dandenong. It is hoped that the site will be a hub of activity for up to 150 asylum seekers and refugees a day and that it will host homework tuition, English classes, men’s workshop and women’s craft groups. Friends of Refugees member Sri Samy said, depending on funding, it would be a place for asylum seekers to socialise and to upskill to help land jobs such as child care, textiles, mechanics and forklift driving.

If we notice a need,

Teaching class through the conflicts of history By CASEY NEILL PETER D’Angelo has taught children who have fled conflicts around the world for the past 30 years. The retired Italian-born Dandenong High School teacher has shared his experiences in autobiography A Beautiful Life. “It’s the story of my life and what I’ve been through, but it’s enriched by the stories of the people I’ve come into contact with,” he said. “The idea came about 10 years ago when I realised one day teaching refugee kids that their stories were parallel to mine. “I was born in one place and for one reason or another had to leave. “Having to start again in a new land, the pressures are much greater if you’re dislocated. “These kids that I was teaching had gone through a similar thing to me, dislocation but even more severe - theirs was forced. “They didn’t particularly want to leave their country. We were economic migrants. These people were refugees. “But my story and their stories were universal in the want for a better life, the want to re-establish the broken dreams.” Mr D’Angelo started his time in teaching at what was then Rusden Teachers College. “One day this elective came up called Teaching English as a Second
Peter D’Angelo taught refugees at Dandenong High School. 124950 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Language - the first time it was offered in a tertiary institution,” he said. “At the same time we had these Vietnamese boat people being washed up in Darwin and nobody knew what to do with them. “It just dawned on me.” He took the course then took a job
at Melbourne’s first language school Noble Park English Language School. Mr D’Angelo found himself standing in a classroom in front of Vietnamese and Cambodian students and had to work out how to break through. He pointed to himself, said his name and wrote it on the board. “It became visual,” he said.
He then pointed to a student and the board, and the boy stood up and wrote ‘Truong’. “That was the first bridging point,” Mr D’Angelo said. “As I gave them more language, they gave me more information about themselves.” His classrooms over the years have reflected the world’s conflicts, from Vietnam and Cambodia to South America, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq. “Wherever there’s been a conflict from 1978 to the present, I’ve seen it all in the classroom,” he said. “There was a boy from Chile. I was really into poetry as expression. He refused. “It turned out his dad had written a poem against the regime in Chile and had disappeared. “There are places on earth when even picking up a pen against the government can get you killed.” Mr D’Angelo moved to Noble Park Secondary College in 1996 where he taught until retirement. But after a few years out of the classroom, he returned to the profession as a casual relief teacher at Dandenong High School until last term. “You’ve got to be a mentor,” he said. “It’s an extended family, the classroom.” The book is available from bookstore.balboapress.com or amazon.com.
Volunteers step up to fill the need ABOUT 150 would-be helpers for asylum seekers gathered at a volunteer information evening in Dandenong last Tuesday. The event was staged by the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre, which has an employment services office in Dandenong. Manager Rosa Misitano said there was “a lot of love in the room” for the cause but there was also a deep need for help. “Dandenong is taking a huge, huge load with asylum seekers. “It’s come to the stage we need to ask if people in other areas can help to share the load. “There is just so much giving and so much need.” She said the centre needed qualified or experienced English as a second language tutors, experienced employment advisers, receptionists and administration. A handy-person was also required for building maintenance and repairs. Cooks and food donors are also welcome to pitch in for the centre’s planned community meals on Tuesdays. To register as a volunteer go to asrc.org.au.

Courts in the dock By CASEY NEILL
A DANDENONG lawyer is calling for “multicultural courts” and more education to keep refugees out of the legal system. Bilal Amani said new arrivals were over-represented in the criminal justice system, commonly committing driving and alcohol-related offences and violent crimes. “I came to Australia as a refugee over 20 years ago from Afghanistan I can relate to the disadvantages experienced by new migrants,” he said. Mr Amani investigated the number of Sudanese people getting caught up in crime during his honours year in law at Victoria University. “The major disadvantage causing new migrants to quickly fall into the arms of the criminal justice system is that after arriving in Australia they are forced to automatically understand and fully comprehend a totally new system of western legal concepts and processes,” he said.
“The war and oppression in their homeland have created a mentality amongst many migrant refugee people to live in fear and suspicion of authoritative and legal personalities. “The emotional and mental health consequence of violence, famine and illness experienced in the homeland posed severe challenges for integration into the Australian community.” Mr Amani said there needed to be more specific education offered to new arrivals to help them understand the legal system. He also suggested police officer discretion to allow self-regulation within the migrant community. “Name and shame in the community might help,” he said. Victoria Police should send members overseas, he said, so they could understand different ways of life and there should be a multicultural court system similar to the Koori Court. It operates as a division of the Magistrates’ Court, which sentences Indigenous defendants.
“Compare the new migrant issues to Indigenous Australians and how we specifically support Indigenous Australians,” Mr Amani said. “The same approach is required due to growing multiculturalism in Australia.” Greater Dandenong Sergeant Joseph Herrech works in the Multicultural Liaison Unit. He said settlement service AMES delivered a cultural orientation package that included information on Australia’s legal system. “They get exposure to the laws and their rights and responsibilities as part of English language training,” he said. “Sometimes there is a bit of a gap in understanding and learning of the law. “I don’t want the wider community to believe the multicultural community is highly represented in the number of people that commit offences. “It’s a very small minority. “Sometimes they’ve committed a crime because they’ve simply not understood.”
In response to Mr Amani’s call for community self-regulation, Sgt Herrech said he’d rather see a support and advocacy approach. “Rather than guilty until proven innocent, support a person who might have quite unintentionally made a mistake and give them the knowledge to avoid the situation again,” he said. He said suggesting a multicultural court was vastly different to establishing the Koori Court. “You’d need more than 200 courts. Logistically, it couldn’t work,” he said. “Not always do we need to recreate and reinvent things. “Sometimes it’s just a matter of refining and massaging to fit the current systems.” Sgt Herrech said new initiatives from police command would provide all Victoria Police members with strong cultural education. “It’s not necessary to go across and live in refugee camps like I did,” he said.
Food shows the way to men’s hearts By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS SARAH is proof that anything is possible. It’s been a rocky path for the 23-year-old single mum who has been cooking up aromatic spicy feasts for YSAS outreach clients in Dandenong and Noble Park. Sarah arrived with her parents and eight siblings in Australia as a 10-year-old having previously fled Sudan’s impoverishment for Egypt. She personally knows some of the clients, including one of a group of five regular drinkers in public parks who had been getting intensive support from YSAS and Victoria Police. The men have been put through detox programs and given some health pointers, including devouring Sarah’s nutritious cooking. She recognises the young men’s pitfalls, having herself left home at 17. “I feel bad for some of them - I managed to pull myself out. I just told myself this is not who I am.” At one stage she was shacked up in an emergency boarding house surrounded by drug users. Yet as the only student in the
house, she was able to knuckle down and finish year 10 studies. She puts that down to her stubborn personality. “If I want something, I’ll get it done.” Her impressive 85.5 ENTER score gained her entry to a law course, which was partly deferred when she gave birth to her two-year-old daughter. The cooking support is important to Sarah who fits it in among parenting duties and personal care assistant work at a Clarinda nursing home. “I just love to help people and see people happy. I want to help them be positive, to give them hope.” Her resolve was strengthened by a trip to her homeland last year where she saw young kids shine shoes for money rather than being at school. “People were really struggling for food. It made me realise how much we take for granted over here.” YSAS senior assertive outreach worker Andrew Holt said he could see special inspiring qualities in Sarah. “She’s had her ups and downs. She knew those boys and wanted to give back.”
“As time goes on, and Victoria becomes more multicultural, the service that we provide needs to adapt to the community that we’re providing for. “It’s happening.” Laurie Nowell from AMES said the refugee and migrant service was trialling a new program that explained Australian law to new arrivals. “The trial sees clients given information sessions about the law with practical advice on what is acceptable in terms of road rules, assault, family violence and other aspects of the law,” she said. “We expect the sessions will be rolled out more comprehensively through the year.” Ms Nowell said the sessions also included information on social norms and cultural practices. “Our case managers and community guides are also trained to give basic advice to clients on Australian law and social norms,” she said.
Sarah cooks up a meal for young people at YSAS. 124891
He said part of YSAS’s outreach service was targeting at-risk cohorts with a supportive rather than punitive approach. “There were a lot of guys in the parks which we believed did not know the services out there or how to navigate those services. “They were fearful and had trust issues.” YSAS’s team built up trust by hosting barbecues in the group’s park,
then setting up a welcoming space in Noble Park Community Centre for a meal, dominos, chess and Playstation soccer. They gave health and harm-minimalisation tips, like not drinking heavily on an empty stomach, and described the physiological effects of alcohol. YSAS’s Dandenong base has hosted up to 20 clients for a cook-up on Wednesdays with engaging activities such as T-shirt and aerosol art and
games of pool and table tennis. In the Journal last month, Acting Senior Sergeant Joseph Herrech of Victoria Police credited the program for saving the boys from near-certain incarceration or death. The assertive youth outreach service, in the absence of government funding, has been funded by the FebFast charity for the past two years. For more information visit febfast. org.au.

We don’t mind if you change our plans. It’s called layout flexibility. Arden Homes is a different sort of company creating very different homes. Firstly, our homes are architect designed and inspired to bring a new sense of space, light and sweeping architectural proportions. You sense the difference immediately. Innovative sun courts, picture windows and full length windows and views that connect inside and out are hallmarks of our design. We insist on luxury standard inclusions such as porcelain tiles, Smeg appliances, Franke sinks, quality carpet, and stone benchtops throughout. Secondly, we limit the number of houses we build, and are up-front about the pricing of display home extras. “Arden let us swap rooms around so our new home is exactly as we want it.” – Sharon and Michael, Croydon And best of all, we encourage layout flexibility. It means you can work with us to switch and swap rooms and features to suit your lot size, orientation and family needs. Visit an Arden display to see and feel the difference. And ask us how we can tailor the design to make one of our stunning homes your unique dream home.

NEW HOMES & LAND
DIRECT LINK TO VIBRANT ESTATE Stage two of Buy Property Direct’s newest villa and terrace development, Fairway Park, is selling strongly. Close to the centre of Cranbourne, this vibrant estate presents an alternative housing offering in the booming Casey area, all within easy reach of the Melbourne CBD and Mornington Peninsula. Set adjacent to Amstel Golf Course, this exciting estate is ‘within putting distance’ of
primary and secondary schools, shopping centres, recreation fields and the train station. Affordable yet filled with all the luxury inclusions you’d expect in a prestigious development, the striking two and three-bedroom homes are being keenly sought by owner-occupiers and investors. “When we secured the site we set about creating a quality affordable housing solution that would appeal to a range of
people within the community. “Whether you are looking to occupy or invest, Fairway Park makes great sense,” said David Brewster, managing director of Buy Property Direct. “We were pleased with how quickly stage one sold out and the release of the next stages will offer outstanding opportunities to secure a lot on this fantastic site.” Fairway Park is a pre-planned
neighbourhood with a range of single and double storey dwellings, all featuring full turnkey inclusions such as fencing, landscaping, driveways, stainless steel appliances and a host of internal extras. Prices start from a fixed $299,900, require no progress payments, offer maximum stamp duty savings and are suitable for the $10,000 first home owner grant. A future commercial precinct will
also be within walking distance to a gym, café, convenience store, child care centre and medical clinic. For more information visit Fairwaypark. com.au. The display suite is open Wednesday, noon to 3pm, and Saturday and Sunday 1pm-4pm at 1030 Cranbourne-Frankston Road, Cranbourne. Phone 1800 273 543.

PRICEY PROPERTY POCKETS SHOW THEIR VALUE ENZO RAIMONDO
CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria
It’s no secret that homes are cheaper in regional Victoria - in fact affordability is attracting many budget-conscious and first home buyers to the state’s regional centres and country towns. But while there are certainly bargains to be had, not all of Victoria’s best homes are in Melbourne. REIV’s median home price data shows that across the state there were more than a dozen areas with a median of more than $500,000 in the June quarter. Mostly, these were places with that something extra - a coastal location or magnificent bushland.
And all were within reasonable proximity of Melbourne. Some of regional Victoria’s most expensive real estate was in picturesque Barwon Heads, where the median house price was $690,000 - higher than the Melbourne median of $658,000. In Point Lonsdale the median was $645,000. Nearby Queenscliff’s median of $740,000 was the highest recorded outside Melbourne for the quarter but, unlike Barwon Heads and Point Lonsdale, there were fewer than 50 sales there for the previous 12 months. Other areas where the median
topped the half million mark were beachside Apollo Bay, Ocean Grove and Torquay, Newtown in Geelong, Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree and the Macedon Ranges towns of Gisborne, Macedon and Woodend. But, of course, a median price is the midpoint of any group of sales so there were many regional homes which sold for much more. Naturally there are homes that sold much closer to $1 million in areas such as Queenscliff. But the median price data, which includes all sales reported to REIV for the quarter, is a much more accurate reflection than the occasional headline-grabbing sale.
Looking at the upper quartile median price for some of these areas - that is, the median for the top 25 per cent of sales over the three months - shows that a substantial number of properties in some areas are selling for extremely good prices. For example in Barwon Heads the upper quartile median was $880,000 while in Queenscliff it was $800,000 and Macedon $793,250 (both fewer than 50 sales). Meanwhile, at Woodend, the upper quartile was $740,000, at Torquay $735,000 and at Lake Wendouree it was $730,000.

GIVE US A HAND Kumar, his wife and one of their three children. 124908 Picture: ROB CAREW
Behind the fence The boy wonders Gazing through the Eyes of the metal fence. A question is raised Too far and too faint for me to hear But it seems as if he got the answer. The smile on his face tells me so. But the mother’s face says something else. A different story. I write down every detail Of the curious child and the mother. I look up as I write few words down And I look up to write more But they’re gone. Vanished behind the fence. By Kumar
Hope
Voices behind the wire DEATH THREATS FROM A POLITICAL FACTION FORCED ’KUMAR’ AND HIS WIFE TO FLEE THEIR HOMELAND – WITHOUT THEIR TWO CHILDREN. THEY’VE SINCE WELCOMED ANOTHER INTO THE WORLD AND HAVE BEEN LIVING IN COMMUNITY DETENTION IN DANDENONG FOR NEARLY THREE MONTHS. “LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY IT’S MUCH EASIER THAN IN THE DETENTION CAMP, BUT WITH LIMITED ACCESS TO RESOURCES AND THE UNCERTAINTY OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW, LIFE IS VERY HARD.” IN HIS OWN WORDS, KUMAR TAKES US BEHIND THE WIRE AND INSIDE THE MIND OF A DETAINEE. IT WAS early morning – 4.30am, 1 February 2014. One of the centre security officers (CSOs) opened the door without knocking and shone the torch-light onto my face. I answered him, “two”, because we have head counts twice a night – once at 11pm to midnight and the second one at 4am to 5am. But he was not happy with my answer. He put the light on my wife’s face anyway and banged the door very hard as he left. After that I was unable to sleep but I stayed lying down until 6am. At that time I was thinking about my past. I always feel sorry for my wife and children because, due to me, they are facing such a hard time. I can’t explain what it is like waking up each day with a heavy heart and to see the person whom I love suffering and know I can’t help her. Two days ago was my son’s seventh birthday. We had spoken to him and with our daughter (by phone). She is just starting to speak but the questions that came from them were so hard for me to answer. They asked me “why can’t we be with you?”, “don’t you love us?” and “why are other kids with their father and mother and we aren’t?”. These questions were still playing in my mind and I was feeling totally helpless. So I got up and went outside. There were very few people about because it was Saturday and kids were not going to school.
I saw Mr S. He was sitting in a chair with a cup of tea and watching TV in front of the dining hall because each day at 6.30am on SBS they have news in his language. I went there and watched the news with him. On the news there was nothing important. We didn’t have anything to talk about. He went to his room to read his holy book so I came back to our room and read some Bible verses. But I don’t know – I was not feeling peaceful. I was feeling that there was a big stone in my chest. I went to the client kitchen and made breakfast for my wife because she had just got to sleep properly. I went to the computer room to use the internet. I answered some of my friends’ mail, read news from back home and got information about cricket. I used to watch Test match cricket for days but these days I can’t stay watching it for more than 30 minutes. Even reading for more than 30 minutes, I can’t do. It was almost 9am when I came out of the internet room. Where to go? What to do? A few kids were playing in the grounds. I was watching them. One of them is an abnormal boy from Burma. He came up to me and gave me a high five. It made me happy. I felt that he has some bond with me because he feels scared with other people. One single man came and sat with me and he asked me “are you happy?”.
I looked at him and shook my head. That man came with us from Darwin. He had problems with his wife and now they are separated and his wife is in the community. He had one son but he can’t meet with his son. We sat together and kept watching the kids. Mr S came and said “let’s go for activities” so we went for gardening. The gardening area is small and we were more than 100 people, so there was also not anything to do. We just gave water to the flowers. After that we went to art and craft class. But there was nothing – just some colours and 20 to 30 pieces of paper but the people were more than 100. Without doing anything we stay until noon in that activities room because otherwise we will not get signed off. That will mean we will not get any points and that means we can’t buy anything from the canteen. At 12.30pm we went to the dining hall for lunch and at 2pm we went to the area where we often sit with Mr and Mrs S. We were joined by two other ladies one from Pakistan and one from Burma. But we don’t have anything to talk about because we have been together for more than four months. We know each other and the conditions of each other very well. But we don’t have any other options to kill time so every day we gather together. We usually feed the pigeons every day at 3pm to 4pm.
At 5pm we gathered in the same area and had a cup of tea. Sometimes we talk about our experience in other camps, sometimes we talk about officers and make jokes about them to try to make ourselves happy. Sometimes they bring people from the airport and keep them in a special compound. They are mostly Indian, Malaysian, Chinese and English. These people are also our topics of talk. At 6.30pm we went for dinner. After dinner, Mr S and I usually go for a walk for 30 minutes and Mrs S comes with a Pakistani girl. After that we are joined by other people. They share their experiences of the day and we share ours. It doesn’t make any changes in our life, but still we do it. We all don’t know why we are doing this, but sometimes it makes us happy. I think that’s why we do it. Again at 8.30pm I went to the internet room to check the mail and answer my friends. I came back at 9.30pm. Everybody was sitting there and trying to find anything that might make us laugh, even for a minute, and many times throughout the day we tried to forget our present conditions and try to make ourselves happy. We separated at 11pm and went to our rooms with one good thought – that next day we were going to church and Mr and Mrs S were going their temple. But we were unable to get to sleep. I was lying in the bed at 11.45pm when the SCO came for the head count. I don’t know when I slept.
O my baby! O my son! All the things I have done. Do you know why we are away? You are so brave to carry on. For months and months I had to go Relying on my feet and my toe(s). Hills and mountains and oceans. God was kind and I was slow. We have no place to live. We are weak, so to leave. I know you need peace and love But I am weak, I cannot give. O my baby! You’re so cute, so lovely. I am so selfish, left you lonely. You need my love, I need your smile. O my God! “Do something kindly.” At nights I gaze at every star. May be among them one you are. I love you to the shining one. I can see you from afar. When I was travelling through the ocean It was frightening with no beacon. I was thinking “why is this so? Why we can’t live like humans?” It was hard to take it all. No certain and not at all. But you deserve a good future. So God was kind when I did call. Darkness will vanish one day. The sun will rise in any way. All flowers will bloom. Hope for the best, I wish to say. By Kumar

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Grant covers industry A DANDENONG manufacturer has an extra $250,000 to grow. South Eastern Metropolitan Region MPs Gordon Rich-Phillips and Inga Peulich announced the Investing in Manufacturing Technology (IMT) grant for Polyem last Monday. The company will put the cash toward buying and installing $1.2 million in state-of-the-art, multi-
layer blown film technology from Germany. “It is very encouraging to see local companies such as Polyem taking a proactive approach to growing their business by seeking to invest in the future,” Mr Rich-Phillips said. Mrs Peulich said the grant would allow Polyem to provide anti-rust films for the automotive industry, high impact films for the poultry
industry, high clarity film for the mailing industry and perfect profile films for the lamination industry. “Importantly, this significant upgrade will enable the company to create up to three new jobs and will enable many of its client companies to open up new export markets,” she said. Manufacturing Minister David Hodgett said the State Government
had approved grants totalling $14.3 million to 82 businesses under its IMT program. “Manufacturing is still one of Victoria’s most important industries - contributing $27 billion to our economy last financial year and employing nearly 300,000 people - 10 per cent of our overall workforce,” he said.
Brewery speaker on tap COOPERS Brewery’s chairman will be the guest speaker at the 21st annual South East Business Networks’ (SEBN) industry dinner. Glenn Cooper will speak about how the small family brewer survives among the global giants at Sandown Racecourse on Thursday 21 August. Fifth generation family members run Coopers, which has become the largest Australian-owned brewery and the third biggest in the country. Mr Cooper will tell guests how to position a company in a tough market that includes well-resourced multi-national competitors and still increase its market share. He will talk about the impor-
Guest speaker Dr Keith Suter at last year’s SEBN dinner. 103425
tance of company culture, no matter the size, and the Coopers model for integrating family members - key ingredients in its success and longevity. Mr Cooper is also the AustraliaMade Campaign chairman. Pre-dinner drinks start at 6.30pm for a 7pm event start. The event concludes at 10pm. Sandown Racecourse is at 591 to 659 Princes Highway, Springvale. Tickets include a three-course meal, beer, wine and soft drink and are $90 per person plus GST or $760 plus GST for corporate tables of nine. Visit www.greaterdandenong. com for bookings by Monday 18 August.
Don’t delay, sign up for workshops GREATER Dandenong will host two free events through Small Business Festival Victoria. Participants can learn how to select the right employee for their business aspirations at a workshop in Dandenong on Thursday 21 August. It’ll run from 5.30pm to 7.30pm in rooms 2NE/2NW at the Greater Dandenong Civic Centre, 225 Lonsdale Street, Dandenong. The event is free but places are limited. Call 0419 597 614 to register or for more information. Red Hot Pepper will present Procrastinate No Longer! in Noble Park. Ross Pepper, an official Small Business Festival of Victoria host, said procrastination stole people’s time, stopped them taking action and ruined their lives. “If you run a small business, procrastination and fear are crippling enough to easily destroy your business,” he said.

Fountain Gate Bingo prides itself as being the leader in the field of conducting the game of bingo, membership rewards and also through electronic gaming. It has taken educated risks with bingo over the past seven years to modernise the game itself and to provide patrons with more exciting choices and, of course, amazing prize pay outs. The centre offers significant discounts on electronic bingo packages daily and has friendly staff on hand who are happy to assist new players. The portable electronic tablet, similar to an iPad, is extremely popular and provides patrons with the option of playing the bingo tickets electronically. This new form of bingo is popular with all ages. A question which is often asked by new patrons to the centre is “do you actually pay out over $100,000 weekly?” Of course, the answer is ‘yes’ and any of the patrons can confirm it. In fact, the centre pays out massive jackpots daily! It also has a range of

THE 100th birthday of the Oakleigh and District Poultry Society wasn’t the only special event that was celebrated at its anniversary show and luncheon on Saturday 2 September. Keysborough resident and society patron Don Simpson has been involved with poultry shows for more than 60 years and on Saturday celebrated his 91st birthday. It was a fitting way for Don to mark the occasion.
He joined the poultry society in the 1950s and spent many years entering his chickens into shows. Now retired, he maintains his involvement with the society and its members. “I’ve always enjoyed raising poultry and it’s been a big part of my life,” he said. “The competitors show their birds and then trophies and sashes are awarded at the end.” Over his time with the society, Don has raised many award-winning birds.
Prize fowls should have no deformities, good leg colour and glossy plumage. There are different divisions in every show including soft feather, hard feather and water fowl. More than 600 fowl of the highest standard were entered into the society’s anniversary show but its highest accolade came from Don himself. “It was a great day. I think it was the best show I’ve been to in all my time with the society.”
THE Jamie’s Ministry of Food Mobile Kitchen is now in Dandenong. It arrived in Palm Plaza last Wednesday and will be hosting hands-on cooking classes until early October. Participants will learn to use fresh ingredients to create healthy, cheap and tasty meals. The program inspires and empowers people to change the way their families eat and how they think about food. Mobile kitchen manager Emma Hannah said Dandenong was the kitchen’s eighth destination in just over 18 months.
“We cook really basic but beautiful, balanced meals,” she said. “It’s all about having that balanced plate - a vegie component, a protein component.” She said participants learnt knife and other kitchen skills. “And the confidence to walk away with some information to apply at home,” she said. Ms Hannah demonstrates flavour combinations then encourages the rookie cooks to play around with the recipes at home. Many try foods they’ve never eaten before. “That’s the really exciting part of the program, getting people to try new things,” she said.
Jamie’s Ministry of Food Australia CEO Alicia Peardon said the mobile kitchen would deliver two five-week courses of one 90-minute class a week. “By teaching basic cooking skills, Jamie’s Ministry of Food helps people gain confidence in the kitchen which leads to better food and ultimately better health,” she said. Not-for-profit organisation The Good Foundation has partnered with Jamie Oliver and The Good Guys to deliver Jamie’s Ministry of Food throughout Australia. The course costs $50, or $25 for concession card holders, and bookings are open at www.jamiesministryoffood. com. City of Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti cooks up a storm with council CEO John Bennie. 124882 Picture: DONNA OATES

Channel dash splash By CASEY NEILL PAUL Hoffman swam from England to France last week. His 14 hour and 45 minute journey across the English Channel started at sunset on 26 July but had been decades in the making. The Rhodesian-born father of two had been dreaming about the challenge since he was 14 years old. Open water swimmer Lewis Pugh assessed Mr Hoffman’s qualifying swim for a surf lifeguard position at Sunrise Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, and told him about his tilt at the channel. Mr Hoffman decided his 40th birthday would be a great time to tackle it, contacted coach John van Wisse and trained in pools and open water across Melbourne. Noble Park Aquatic Centre and Dandenong Oasis played a key role in his preparations. His support crew dragged him from the water eight hours into his first attempt at the swim, in July 2012, following four hours of vomiting. “The day I swam, as it turned out, was the two-year anniversary of the day I got pulled out,” he said. “That was a bit of a mental hurdle. “Starting off - nervous would be an understatement. “Once I was in the water I settled quite quickly. “It was good to knock it over.” He hadn’t expected to take on the swim so early but couldn’t refuse an open weather window. “I had six hours’ notice of the swim window,” he said. “The weather in the channel is pretty unpredictable. Most of the following week was blown out. “I spoke to my support crew and told them I was still feeling jetlagged. “They told me to swim on Melbourne time.” Mr Hoffman set off from Dover at 7.30pm and emerged from the water in France at 9am the following day. “I swam into quite a few jellyfish so I had quite a few stings in the early part,” he said. “You just break it up into building
Paul Hoffman in training at Dandenong Oasis earlier this year. 116438 blocks mentally. I told myself ‘the next block is going to be sun-up’. By sun-up I was 10 hours into the swim. “I had a fantastic support crew who really took care of me. “I got quite sick about three hours into the swim. I got a feeling of deja vu. “They just took care of it.” The crew kept his wife Wendy updated throughout the journey and she, in turn, kept the social media world abreast of his progress. “I was just blown away by the support,” Mr Hoffman said. “They were ecstatic. “My son stood up at school and said ‘my dad swam to England’.” The water was 17 degrees - balmy compared to the 10 degrees Mr Hoffman had been training in back home. He was only allowed to wear goggles, a cap, and speedos and wasn’t allowed to touch his support boat. Crew members threw out containers attached to a rope filled with food and drinks.

Picture: Courtesy Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation The route across the channel is 34 kilometres in a straight line but Mr Hoffman ended up swimming more than 60km. “The current is quite strong and it flows up and down the channel,” he said. “I really got dragged around quite a bit. “You’re not aware of it when you’re swimming. Because you’ve got no refer-
Picture: ROB CAREW ence point you can’t really see.” After walking onto the shore, Mr Hoffman had to turn around and swim back to his support boat for the three-hour journey back to England. “After the swim I was quite sick on the boat, and I was quite sick that night,” he said. “I woke up about 3am, stiff as anything, and got up and swam. “I couldn’t swim much at all. My body just would not stretch out. “The day after that I swam a bit further. “It was nice not to have to swim, but just swim because you want to.” Swimming for fun is now his focus and he’ll support two swimmers in training to tackle the channel next year. Mr Hoffman used the swim to fundraise for StarBright - a learning exchange program supporting AIDS and HIV-affected orphans in Cape Town’s slums and shanty towns.

Save your back says Karl
AFL great Jonathan Brown at the TAB Great Chase heats at Warrnambool. 125199
Enjoy the thrill of the chase THERE is nothing quite like the experience of cheering on a personal greyhound at the races. The fact that elite sports people such as Ricky Ponting, Archie Thompson, James Pattinson, Jonathan Brown, Tony Lockett and recent Australian Commonwealth Games gold medallist Laetisha Scanlan are actively involved in greyhound racing is testament to that. And, in a true show of community spirit, Greyhound Racing Victoria’s annual TAB Great Chase series brings the excitement of greyhound racing to the disability sec-
tor by granting ‘virtual ownership’ of greyhounds that compete in the month-long series. Each August about 2000 clients and carers from Victorian organisations that care for intellectually or physically disabled people visit their local greyhound racetracks to cheer on race dogs they are randomly aligned to at the beginning of the series. Here they receive free merchandise, are treated to a complimentary lunch or dinner, and they can even give their greyhound a cuddle after it races.
Further, should their greyhound happen to win, the organisation will share in more than $50,000 in prize money and continue to follow their greyhound’s progress throughout the series which culminates in the TAB Great Chase Grand Final at The Meadows in Melbourne on Wednesday 4 September. More than $300,000 has been distributed to the disability sector since the TAB Great Chase was initiated in 2003, with this money spent on various items including day trips, holidays and sporting equipment.
MOVING large quantities of sand, soil and other materials around the yard need not be a back-breaking task. A mini loader, which can be hired from any of the 15 Kennards Hire centres throughout Melbourne, is a much quicker and efficient option. It is one of the many items Kennards can supply for all sorts of home improvement projects, from painting, paving and plumbing to concreting, compacting and floor sanding. “The mini loader is just as useful for the home handyman as for the professional builder and landscaper,” Kennards Dandenong branch manager Karl Oinonen said. He can be contacted on 9791 2155. “It is also a very versatile machine. “With a bucket attached, it is ideal for moving sand, soil, mulch, gravel and building rubble, and also for loading these materials on to a truck or trailer. “But, by fitting one of its other attachments, it can also be used to bore postholes, rip up hard ground
Dig in for easy earth works. and dig trenches. “Being so small, and less than a metre wide, it fits through most gates and down narrow side passageways and, because it is lightweight, it doesn’t damage concrete or properly laid paved paths.” Mr Oinonen said other earthmoving machines available for hire included skid steer loaders, mini-excavators and trenching machines and there was also a range of plate compactors and rammers also known as Whacker Packers. Kennards other equipment for the great outdoors includes lawn aerators and dethatchers, chipper-
mulchers, lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, brush cutters, lawn rollers, rotary hoes, chainsaws, stump grinders and posthole diggers. Full details can be found in the Kennards catalogue, available free at all hire centres or at kennards.com. au where how-to guides are also available. Kennards specialty branches include Concrete Care, Lift and Shift, Pump and Power, Traffic Management and Access specialising in elevating work platforms.

Different puzzle same outcome
By JARROD POTTER FINISHING on a golden note, hockey superstar Chris Ciriello made it two major international victories in as many months as he earned a Commonwealth Games gold medal last week. The 29-year-old, formerly from Endeavour Hills, emulated his Hockey World Cup final hat-trick with another last Sunday in the men’s hockey gold medal match against India. From humble beginnings at Springvale/Noble Park Hockey Club (now Greater Dandenong Warriors’ Hockey Club) all the way to international glory, the champion drag-flicker’s efforts from the spot gave Australia a 4-0 victory in the gold medal match in Glasgow - his second Commonwealth Games gold medal after earning his first in 2010. “It’s been a great month - I guess you can’t wish for any more,” Ciriello said. “I guess it’s good to see that after working pretty hard it’s all coming together. “I’m lucky enough that this is my second one (Commonwealth Games gold medal), and that was a good ex-
perience as we beat India in the final there (in Delhi) as well, it was a bit of ‘déjà vu’ - except for the settings and the weather.” With eight changes to the squad that won the World Cup in the Netherlands last month, the Kookaburras had to adapt their game-plan, but it paid off in the end for a four-goal triumph. “The guys on the team stepped up - they wanted to play and it was a fair change from the World Cup with eight different guys,” Ciriello said. “It was always going to be a bit of a struggle, but everyone expected the same outcome and the same process pretty much with a different set of puzzle pieces. “We came together pretty well and there were a few hiccups along the way, but the young guys coming through look really promising.” Taking place as the team’s go-to man from the corners, his 146th Australian cap will forever hold significance for Ciriello. He drilled the first volley past the Indian keeper in the 13th minute before
adding number two just before half time to keep the Kookaburras 2-0 ahead at the main break. Playing against team mates and rivals from his Hockey India League stint with Punjab, Ciriello iced the game with his third from the penalty spot before teammate Eddie Ockenden sealed the gold medal victory with a deflection in the dying minutes. The atmosphere of the big stage suits Ciriello best and he relished the chance to prove his talents in the premier matches. “I like to play in the bigger games,” Ciriello said. “There’s a fair bit of pressure in the Comm Games as most people think there’s the Olympics then the Commonwealth Games and you get a fair few people starting to watch. “In the final I was lucky enough to get three corners and the guys pushed the ball out well and stopped it - and I took my shots well.” Ciriello will now set his gaze on state duties as the star drag flicker for the Victorian Vikings in the Australian Hockey League, starting in October.

BIG V Youth Men 2 - Grand Final
Cougars douse Giant dream with ice By JARROD POTTER
Unfurling the banner after an emphatic rise to the top of the ladder was the greatest triumph for coach Craig Smethurst and his team. 125368 Picture: JARROD POTTER

IN ! O J W NO
IT ALL started in October. Keysborough Cougars Youth Men’s team put in the hard yards - back in the heat of last summer - and the work paid off with the unfurling of the Big V Youth Men 2 championship pennant that will hang proudly above Springers Leisure Centre following the Cougars 76-61 win over Coburg on Saturday night. Coach Craig Smethurst was rendered virtually speechless in the after-match celebrations, but managed to say the victory had made the hard work worthwhile. “It’s an amazing relief and it was a long time coming,” Smethurst said. “I’m just happy for the boys - they put in all the hard work, I just yell and scream from the sideline and at the end of the day they have to physically get out
there and do it.” “All the pain of the preseason, running up-and-down hills in 44 degree weather and now it’s all worth it - we asked them to trust in the process and if they did they’d get there in the end and thank God it happened.” Keysborough cast aside Coburg in the first quarter at their home-court grand final - shooting 30 points to 13 to build an insurmountable lead. Sharing the scoring around, grand final MVP Staci Richardson (19 points, 6 rebounds) started the march towards the flag before the Giants started to rouse in the second half. Whenever Coburg began to threaten, Richardson and Harrison Van Dort (13 points) stepped up to pour ice on the challengers. Joshua Hearn-Amy (9 points) was the next Cougar to make his mark as he sunk
three treys to help slay the Giants. Coburg found its shooting too late as it outscored Keysborough 26-11 in the final term, but the earlier damage left the Cougars well ahead and earned the club an illustrious 15-point championship victory.
BIG V - Division 2 THE joys of youth did not extend to the senior Cougars who were eliminated in a 75-79 nail biter in Shepparton. Losing star centre Kevin Benn to a suspected broken leg in the pre-game warm up, Keysborough was left without its might in the key. It left the task to Eric Miraflores (26 points) and Jack Houpt (18 points) while Chris Jones (4 points, 16 rebounds) filled Benn’s spot admirably in the front-court. Shepparton will face Casey in the grand final series, starting this weekend in Shepparton.

Bricked in for 400 games
SEABL
By JARROD POTTER SOUNDING the siren and hitting the stop-watch is not the most glamorous job at a football club, but Noble Park senior timekeeper Brian Duggan would not have it otherwise. Duggan, 80, who now lives in Narre Warren, has recently knocked off 50 years at Noble Park sporting clubs after first getting to the club in the 1960s and sinking his teeth in immediately with junior football. “First arrived in 1963 on the committee of the footy club then in 1965 Mick Pitcher was managing the under-14s - as it was an off-shoot,” Duggan said. “Mick bought a milk bar and I asked him who is running the juniors and he said ‘you look like a likely recruit’.” After a few decades helping the juniors and moving onto the committee, Duggan started the stop-watch on his time in the Moodemere Street bricked scoreboard in 1992 and has been a mainstay of the club through multiple EFL premierships and over half-a-century of service. Duggan notched a rare century of service to Noble Park sport - the cumulative seasons he served for the senior football, junior football, bowls and cricket clubs ticked over a total of 100 seasons this year. Aside from premierships and

On the dotted line By JARROD POTTER
Saturday will sound Brian Duggan’s 400th match as senior timekeeper for Noble Park Football Picture: JARROD POTTER Club. 124968 celebrations around the club, Duggan also remembers copping a whack from Jim “Frosty” Miller as he watched his son play for Dingley against Miller’s Berwick, but he took it in his stride and had a laugh with the illustrious fullforward after that 1970’s game. Perhaps it was his penchant to
have a chirp at the umpires and the opposition that earned him the hit, with some saying the brick surrounds help keep Duggan from causing too much havoc anymore. “There’s a story going around here that they put Duggo in the timekeeper’s box to shut him up,” Duggan said.
“But I’ve had a good time.” He’ll blow the siren for game 400 on Saturday when Noble Park runs out against Vermont. Make sure to look up to the scoreboard and celebrate the quadruple-centurion who has devoted a lot to the club.
It’s a ‘Golden Triangle’ for Little Athletics By JARROD POTTER BY THEIR powers combined, athletes from three different Little Athletics clubs joined together to snare gold. Competing for Dandenong Little Athletics Centre (DLAC) runners from Narre Warren and Hampton Park Little Athletic Clubs had their finishes at the state championships in Bundoora last month added up and the trio’s combined finish resulted in a team gold medal. Emulating the efforts of former Narre Warren Little Athletics Club star Jeff Riseley, who recently competed at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, the runners from the local clubs took to the course to go for a “slightly more hilly run” than the flat tracks of Hampden Park Stadium. Under-15 boy’s 3000m run-
ners Chris Fenton, Aaron Sutherland and James Veitch secured the championship with their topranking finishes at the event. “It’s my first state championship cross country,” Veitch said. “I’ve been to state track and field, but never this, so it’s good to take a win in my first and last try.” Fenton finished third in the race, earning himself an individual bronze medal, while Sutherland (seventh) and Veitch (eighth) placed strongly enough to guide the DLAC to top-team honours. “It is good to win a medal for all of us boys, especially for a centre like Dandenong,” Fenton said. “Being in a team for under 15s is really good for our last year at the state championships.” Not to be left out of the medalling success for the centre, Doveton/Endeavour Hills’ runner Lochlan Taylor finished third

The state cross country championships were the last event of the winter season for the centre, with the summer season now just
around the corner. For more information on Dandenong Little Athletics Centre - contact Kerry Fenton on 9703 2239.
TAKING the next step as an international basketballer, Dandenong Rangers’ import Daequon Montreal has signed on the dotted line to become an NBL player. New York born Montreal, 26, who played college basketball for Boise State University, has signed his inaugural National Basketball League (NBL) contract and will play for the Adelaide 36ers in the upcoming season. The 2.032 metre (that’s six-foot, eight-inches in old money) guard first drew attention of national recruiters with his 46-point domination of last year’s SEABL grand final win over Mt Gambier. He’s currently averaging 23 points and seven rebounds a game for the Rangers, who sit on top of the SEABL East conference with two rounds left in the SEABL season before play-offs.
Round 19 A MIXED weekend in Tasmania greeted both Dandenong teams as they split the ledger with the home sides. The Dandenong men knocked off Hobart convincingly 104-69 on Friday night, led by Daequon Montreal (28 points, 12 rebounds) while on Saturday night North West Tasmania claimed the points in a 93-71 win over the Rangers. A double-double from Tony Lewis (23 points, 10 rebounds) wasn’t enough to guide the result for Dandenong. The women were knocked off by Hobart 80-83 on Friday night as WNBL star Cayla Francis (27 points, 15 rebounds) excelled for the Chargers. Dandenong was led ably by Clare Papavs (24 points, 7 rebounds) and Lauren Scherf (20 points, 21 rebounds) - with the young centre reeling in her first 20-and-20 haul in her SEABL career. Anderson’s charges bounced back on Saturday to take a 69-82 win over Hobart - led by Papavs (22 points) and Scherf (17 points, 12 rebounds) again while Amelia Todhunter (19 points) also featured in the victory. Both sides remain atop their respective SEABL East Conference ladders with the last round of the home-and-away season starting on Saturday. The Rangers men face Sandringham at home on Saturday before an away fixture for both sides against Nunawading to round out the regular season.

SPORT SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Pumas silence naysayers By JARROD POTTER Division 3 - round 17 THE Jets scrammed out of Barry Powell Reserve quickly on Saturday following an impressive 60-point win for Lyndale. A close affair at the first break - with Lyndale only ahead by 19 - the Pumas pounced in the second to shatter Black Rock hopes of a double chance. Lyndale’s hit-up forward Trevor Kumetaitis (4 goals) continued to impress from the forward 50 while Trent Day (3 goals) also jagged himself a handy haul. The hit-out work of Ben Mayers gave Lyndale’s midfielders a clean shot at the footy in most instances as Black Rock failed to stop the high-calibre running of Ordell Buntine, Jared Henshaw and Tommy Clappers. Lyndale coach Rod Benstead said the boys bid farewell to their homeground for another season in style and left the Pumas’ naysayers with something to ponder in the lead-up to finals. “I was really happy that we made a statement today,” Benstead said. “I know a lot of people think it’s between two clubs, but we’ve got some pretty experienced players and we’re playing our best football at the right time of the year. The win gives the Pumas a crucial one-game buffer heading into the final round of the season, with a match away against Mt Waverley another ‘mini-
final’ for Benstead and his charges. The battle to hold onto their doublechance is imperative for Benstead, but believes the match against the Mountain Lions isn’t run-and-won yet despite Mt Waverley’s impressive 16-1 record. “We’ve got our best team in at the moment… we like being the hunters… no one expects too much from us but we’re pretty confident from within,” Benstead said. In other games Sandown elevated itself to fourth with a comprehensive 183-point thumping of SFL minnow Hallam. Lining up for a bag each were Jason Toan and Clint Sheedy - drilling seven goals apiece - while Frank Martinicchio (5 goals) also cleaned up against the Hawks. A whopping 12-goals-seven was booted by the Cobras in the final term as Sandown eyes pointed towards next week. A win for Sandown in its own minifinal this week away at Black Rock and loss for Lyndale will have the sides switch positions on the ladder - with the Pumas only ahead by .11 per cent over the Cobras. The wins kept flowing in SFL Division 3 as Dandenong knocked off South Yarra 18.8 (110) to 12.9 (81). David Barrie drilled five while Chris Arnold, Brodie O’Laughlin (4 goals) and Matt Van Schajik led from the front.
While his head is over the ball in this picture, Lyndale ruckman Ben Mayers excelled overhead with a great number of hitouts to his smaller Pictures: JARROD POTTER brethren. 125366 The Redlegs will now face Endeavour Hills in the cross-town showdown at Greaves Reserve.
Division 2 - round 16 THE season can’t come to an end quickly enough for Springvale Districts as it
EFL Division 1 - round 16 GREAT signs unfortunately came too late for Noble Park in its 58-point win over Lilydale. The run-and-carry football that should have guided the Bulls into the finals was on display at Lilydale Sports Oval - having shown up a few weeks behind schedule. Fleetfooted Noble Park midfielders - Stewart Kemperman, Craig Anderson and Chris HortonMilne ran all over the Falcons. Lilydale kicked its way back into the match in the third term, but the Bulls charged on with five goals in the last quarter sealing the deal. Along with the final term five-goal haul were nine be-
hinds which would have left an ill taste with Noble Park coach Jon Knight and the coaching staff. Noble Park was able to find multiple avenues to goal as Shayne Allan (3 goals), Horton Mile, Sam Monaghan and Peter McGettigan (2 apiece) razed the Lilydale defence. The Bulls’ season has two matches to go - as it currently sits seventh and 10 points behind the top brass in EFL Division 1. The second last hoorah is this weekend as Noble Park looks to dampen the finalsbound run of long-time rivals Vermont at home.
VAFA Division 2 - round 16 TRAILING at three-quartertime, St John’s had its season on the line against potential finalist Old Paradians.
Down by a point at the last change, the JOCs mustered up their courage and stormed home to keep its chances of post-season action alive with a 10-point win over the home side. Adam Jones (3 goals), Cameron Christiansen and Kane Arnold (2 apiece) kicked the JOCs ahead when it counted most this year. Feeding the ball to the forwards were Darryn O’Connor, Anthony Brannan and Daniel Cattolico - who all excelled in the 11.10 (76) to 10.6 (66) victory. The win leaves St John’s one win outside the top four, needing Old Paradians to lose once again either this week or next. The JOCs meanwhile will face Kew away on Saturday.
By JARROD POTTER KEYSBOROUGH Football Club will bite the bullet and apply for a transfer to the Southern Football League for next season. A subcommittee recommendation was endorsed by the club’s board, Burra members then voting unanimously to make the switch from the Casey Cardinia Football League at the end of this season. Keysborough will now submit information to a supportive SFL board that need to endorse the move before submitting an application to AFL Victoria for rubber stamping. Burra president Manny Scata said there was a very simple reason behind the decision to move. “Basically it’s about the survival and future of our club and, with that in mind, no other deci-

sion could be made,” Scata said. “Without juniors coming through we just can’t be competitive with the top-tier clubs, like Narre Warren and Cranbourne, who have one of the fastest growing corridors in Australia on their doorstep. “We don’t expect to be giant killers in Southern; we just want to become a competitive and vibrant club once again, and divisional football suits that need.” Keysborough will consult with its current playing list and the SFL before a decision is made on which of the three SFL divisions it will commence in. The Burra heads into its final two games in the Casey Cardinia league in the right frame of mind after a competitive 56-point loss to Beaconsfield at Rowley Allen Reserve. The Burra - who travel to ROC this week before host-
ing Hampton Park in a lastround showdown to avoid this year’s wooden spoon- showed glimpses of their best football on Saturday against a true double-chance contender. The Burra trailed by just five points at quarter time, which stretched to 22 at the main break, before a third-quarter lapse gave the Eagles an opening and - as good teams do - they pounced. A 5.5 to 0.1 third term locked away the four points before the Burra squared away the final stanza. Davor Rajic and best and fairest favourite, Geoff Humphreys, kicked two each for the Burra, who also had big-man Bryce Sutton, the elusive Tim Werner and skipper Ryan Goodes in good form throughout. Beaconsfield centre-half-forward, Shaun Pollard, continued his fantastic recent form, slotting four goals for the winners.
