■ Faster than a drive through takeaway, Fernando foils the ...

police arrived. Mr Fernando remembers punching the gunman’s head to help subdue him. He said in the chaos, a member of staff laid the rifle down on the floor next to the struggling trio. Pumped with adrenalin, Mr Fer-
nando threw the rifle over the counter - still to this day not knowing if the firearm was loaded. He said he had some “harsh” words for the staff member. “I was really not scared of the gun,” he said of the incident.

“I was just waiting for the right moment to knock him down without hurting anyone. “I did what I had to do at that stage.” The shock of the incident hit Mr Fernando over the following weeks.
Living near the outlet at the time, he became worried about whether anyone was following him or any other recriminations. He feels proud of today’s recognition. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”

AS KASUN Fernando and his then housemate waited to be served at a Mulgrave fast-food counter early one morning, in walked a taller man wearing a balaclava and wielding a sawnoff rifle, who demanded their wallets. “I thought it was a prank at first,” Mr Fernando said. But as the gunman got up close to his face, pointing his rifle at him, Mr Fernando realised the situation was far more menacing. What followed next that morning on 12 November 2012 earned Mr Fernando, 25, of Dandenong and his friend Isha Wickramathunga each a Bravery Medal for acts of heroism in “hazardous circumstances” - as part of today’s (Monday) Australian Bravery Awards list. Mr Fernando said he riled the assailant first by refusing to hand over his wallet. “There was no way he was getting my wallet,” he told the Journal last week. When ordered to kneel, Mr Fernando was hindered by a recently strained knee ligament from playing rugby. He assumed a half-kneeling squat - like the “flankers posture” in his beloved sport - which seemed to further infuriate the gunman. The would-be robber turned his attention to the counter staff. As he tried to stuff the store’s cash into a bag, he placed his gun on the counter and turned away from Mr Fernando. “I jumped on his neck and pulled him down,” Mr Fernando said. The store was locked down. Mr Fernando’s friend helped him to hold the struggling gunman down for what seemed like about 15 minutes before

CFA’s fire warning the neighbour if they hear it for a period of time,” he said. “If they smell smoke, call the fire brigade. The earlier we’re notified, the earlier we can intervene.” He said today’s furnishings were very different to those from 30 or 40 years ago. “We used a lot of natural products, which were combustible but it would take a little while for them to get going,” he said. “Now a lot of our materials are man-made, which is based on an oil or petroleum-based product or a chemical. “We’re actually arriving on scene within a few minutes of the receipt of the call, but what we’re finding is that the house or the room is totally engulfed.”
Van could be key to murder IT wasn’t until daybreak on 6 February that someone saw Geck Gov lying in the driveway of her Noble Park home. She’d been there 45 minutes and had bled to death. Homicide Squad Detective Senior Sergeant Stuart Bailey last week appealed for public assistance to solve the “brutal, unprovoked and distressing attack”. He said Cambodianborn Ms Gov was hardworking, generous and selfless and urged anyone who saw a white van near her Theodore Avenue home on the morning of her murder to come forward. Investigators reviewing CCTV footage spotted the vehicle travelling west along Knox Street, about 200 metres from the crime scene, at 5.52am - seven minutes after neighbours heard Ms Gov scream. “It’s not known whether the occupants are in fact involved in this crime, or could be valuable witnesses that police are yet to identify,” Sen Sgt Bailey said. Victoria Police Vehicle Examination Unit experts believe the van is a Toyota HiAce or a Mitsubishi L300.
HEAD CHEF LISA IS BACK
“The vehicle also has no rear side window, which would indicate it’s a commercially used van,” Sen Sgt Bailey said. “It’s got a roof rack and it’s also got on the sliding door either a painted or tinted window. “This is the only vehicle at this stage we haven’t accounted for.” Experts have been unable to date the van, and both suspected models have changed little in more than 20 years. “We’re looking at thousands of cars, that’s why we really need the public’s assistance,” he said. “This is the most important lead we’ve had at this point in time.” Sen Sgt Bailey said it appeared the murder was an armed robbery gone wrong. “It was known within the Cambodian and Vietnamese community that Geck used to carry cash and jewellery instead of leaving it at home and as a result of this we believe somebody has targeted her,” he said. “Geck was stabbed multiple times to the upper torso. We are yet to find the murder weapon. We believe it’s most likely a knife.

“It’s hard to know whether she was stabbed initially to subdue her to get her possessions or, in fact, that she’s fought for her possessions and as a result the offender’s stabbed her.” Witnesses heard Ms Gov screaming about 5.45am and looked out their windows to see a person running east along Theodore Avenue towards Knox Street. Ms Gov worked at Coolabah Herbs in Pearcedale with her son Charlie, 27. “She would pick up a lot of her work colleagues on a daily basis to get them to work and then drop them off,” Sen Sgt Bailey said. “(Charlie) left prior to

The house was fitted with smoke detectors but they were disconnected. “There’s no excuse these days not to have a smoke alarm,” Mr Owen said. “They’re a cheap item. Check the smoke alarm battery on a monthly basis. “That’s your lifeline. “Once the smoke alarm goes off, it’s about having a plan then to get out. “That should be rehearsed or at the very least talked about.” Mr Owen urged people to listen out for smoke alarms in neighbouring properties. “It’s up to them to make a conscious effort to go and check on

A DEADLY Noble Park house fire and a string of other blazes have prompted a CFA warning. Region 8 operations manager Trevor Owen last Wednesday told the Journal his crews had attended five fires in the previous 48 hours. “In the last two weeks we’ve had 19 hours fires,” he said. “This time of year we do experience an increase because people are inside. But it’s been unusually high even for winter.” Mr Owen said cooking mishaps, faulty appliances and unmaintained heating systems were behind many of the fires. “In the southern metropolitan
region, I can’t recall a time where we’ve had the amount of fire fatalities and serious injuries since the start of the year,” he said. “The figures that we’re seeing are extreme.” Crews rescued an 82-year-old man from a home in Pike Court, Noble Park, on 11 August and resuscitated him at the scene. He later died in hospital. A family escaped a fire in their Arresta Street, Dandenong, home in the early hours of 12 August. That night, an elderly man and woman suffered smoke inhalation while using a garden hose to extinguish a fire in their Dandenong North home. They’d succeeded in putting the fire out by the time firefighters

No strings here IT’S been just over a year and a half since The Salvation Army appointed my wife Nari and I to be the corps officers of the Dandenong Salvation Army. It didn’t take long to realise Dandenong was an amazing place. Fifteen years ago I started work for the Salvation Army and for nearly nine years I’ve been a church minister. Yet it is here in Dandenong where I have met more people who are in need of food, help and a hand-up than anywhere else I’ve been. It was in those early weeks that I realised that the significant majority we were meeting had only recently arrived in Australia. In The Salvation Army we believe in no strings attached assistance. If we have the capacity to help then we will, it doesn’t matter where you come from, what you believe, whether it was your own fault or not and we don’t expect anything back. Yet I continue to be amazed by how many

people who received help, want to help out. Many asylum seekers and new migrants were among those who were quick to put their hands up to help. Painting, cleaning, stacking food, dropping things off to people in need were all things that we have received help with. It’s in this city that is sometimes so poor that I have seen just how rich we are. Generosity and helping each other out seems to be values of this city, it’s a great thing. New arrivals of all sorts, including asylum seekers, can often get a bad rap. The vindictive demonisation of them as a people group in the political
rhetoric lacks a proper understanding or respect for the circumstances they are fleeing. The new migrants I’m meeting are seeking to give generously back to the community. In so many ways they are just the type of Australians we need to keep this country great. As a former employment consultant, I see the devastating impact not having work rights has on asylum seekers. It impacts our community, too productive, working people make good citizens, pay tax and there is something satisfying about doing a good day’s work. I’m proud of our council for advocating for this recently and I hope and pray there is movement on this issue. In the meantime, I thank all Dandenong’s residents, recent and longstanding, for their continued generosity.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 20 August 1914 Smoke Room By “Old Joe” THERE was a fair crowd in the billiard room of the hotel during the recent tournament, after a couple of players had decided their game, the table was opened for the general public. Two exponents of the gentle art were labouring after a break of double figures, and one of these suddenly struck form. He fluked a cannon, potted his opponent, and the red binging over a pocket, he rushed it in seven in all. The red being spotted he again essayed to score, and whilst he was sawing his
thumb off with the cue, his opponent sat down by one of the next in turn and said “cheer up, old chap, the game will soon be over. He’s a regular Lindrum (indicating his cue mate) ain’t he?” Quick as a flash came the retort “Lindrum is he? Well if you wait until this game is over you’ll be “grey” before it’s finished!

Bailed on carjackings By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A 17-YEAR-old boy has been released on bail after being charged over two carjackings at knifepoint - one of them in Casey Hospital car park. On Thursday, a children’s court was told the boy was charged with three armed robberies, two attempted armed robberies, two thefts, theft of a motor vehicle, unlicensed driving, being equipped to steal and three counts of obtaining property by deception on 3-8 August. An Embona armed robbery detective told the court the boy allegedly used a kitchen knife to threaten a man who was sitting in his dark-coloured Yaris speaking to his mother on a phone in Clayton on 3 August about 9.20pm. After demanding the victim’s mobile phone and wallet, the boy and another male - who has not been
arrested - drove off in the victim’s car. Four days later, a man driving a Honda Civic was followed and blocked in by the Yaris after he parked at Casey Hospital in Berwick about 6.20pm. His car, mobile phone and wallet were stolen under threats by the boy and his earlier accomplice, one brandishing a knife and the other a stick. In the interim, the pair allegedly bought food and beverages from an Oakleigh fast food outlet using the Yaris victim’s credit card and stole fuel from servos in Noble Park and Springvale. The pair also allegedly threatened a man at knifepoint and stole food and a GPS from his car in Oakleigh on 3 August. The boy was accused of being in a group travelling in the Yaris that attempted two armed robberies in
Clarendon Street, Cranbourne, at 4.10pm and 4.25pm on 7 August. He was also accused of being among a pair who robbed a female walker of her wallet and fled on foot in Brookland Greens, Cranbourne, at 7.45pm the same day. The boy was also accused of being among a group smoking cannabis bongs at a Mulgrave house and driving the Yaris unlicenced through Beaconsfield, Cranbourne and Dandenong in the early hours of 8 August. He and another male equipped with scissors tried to break into two cars in Dandenong. Using the scissors, the male broke into and started a red Nissan, in which the pair travelled to a fast food outlet. They used the Civic victim’s credit card to buy food on two occasions. They returned to the Mulgrave house where they and another male
were arrested and charged with the thefts of the Yaris and Nissan. The detective told the court the boy made partial admissions but showed no remorse during a police interview. In granting bail, the magistrate said: “Given the nature of the offending, which is serious, there’s no doubt risks associated with the release of the applicant. “Bail conditions can be formed so that the risks are not necessarily an unacceptable one.” The boy was released on condition he live at a nominated address with a night curfew, not associate with five named males, be subject to a youth justice supervision program with drug and alcohol treatment and vocational support, not contact prosecution witnesses and not drive a car. He was bailed to appear in court later this month.
Museum provides a little taste of India A MUSEUM of art that gives a snapshot of India’s 18,000-year culture and history has opened in Dandenong’s Little India precinct. Museum India’s 100-plus paintings, etchings, photographs and sculptures are in themselves a snapshot of retired psychiatrist Dinesh Parekh’s 2000-work collection which is held in trust for the art space. It includes a stunning largescale sculpture of a torsoless Lord Ganesh that seemingly defies gravity. The prizes include rare stamps and coins dated back to 400 BC which have not yet been put on display. Federation of Indian Associa-
v
tions of Victoria president Vasan Srinivasan said the federation was hoping to procure the vacant masonic hall nearby to display the entire Dr Parekh collection. The museum was opened, last Friday, by Multicultural Affairs Minister Matthew Guy, Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti and Indian consul-general Manika Jain. Consul-General Jain said the Indian consul contributed $30,000 to the museum in hope of reaching the wider community. The museum is at 61-63 Foster Street and open Monday-Friday 11am-4pm. - CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

THIS much honesty from anyone is a rarity - let alone from a politician. Councillor Matthew Kirwan, speaking about a dangerous Dandenong intersection at last week’s council meeting, said: “as some of my councillors may know, I’m not a great driver.” A chuckling Cr Kelly asked the blushing Cr Kirwan where he’d parked. “Not near your car, you don’t have to be concerned,” Cr Kirwan replied. Peter Brown wants vacant land opposite Mosaic Apartments retained as a park 125598 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
Call for a Dandy gateway By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A GREATER Dandenong councillor wants plans for further multi-storey apartments on Cheltenham Road scrapped in favour of a landscaped gateway into Dandenong. Councillor Peter Brown said vacant council-owned land on the road’s northern side, east of Stockmans Bridge, was best retained for public open space - a treelined entry point reminiscent of St Kilda Road’s boulevard. “The long-term beauty for Dandenong in having a landscaped park immediately before the main entry point along Cheltenham Road, could emulate the beauty of other main city access points elsewhere.” The site has been earmarked for high-density development, including residential and some com-
mercial uses, as well as dedicated open space in the council’s 2002 master plan. It is directly opposite the under-construction ninestorey Mosaic Apartments building. Cr Brown said building more multi-storey apartments would create an unappealing “high-rise tunnel” entry point. Alternatively, parkland could be used by residents of Mosaic and its neighbouring housing estate Metro 3175, he said. He said the council had the discretion to tear up a 2002 agreement with Places Victoria to develop the land due to “non-completion”. The deed’s sunset date is 15 October. A complication is that Vic Track plans to use its abutting vacant land for railway station car parking. “This is our last chance to keep that land for a parked
gateway. It’s critically important to have that public open space.” Mayor Jim Memeti said the council had been banking on the sell-off of the land for development. He estimated the block could be worth $8 million. “I’m happy to keep that land but (without that money) what happens to the Springvale civic precinct which we want to do up in the next few years?” Cr Brown retorted that the land had cost the council nothing. “We’ve had it for years. It’s not even been factored into the Springvale project costings.” Places Victoria land development and housing manager Joanne Wandel said the State Government developer was working with the council to review future plans for the site.
“HOW deep should a puddle be before it is considered a hazard?” A resident posed the query during public question time at last week’s City of Greater Dandenong Council meeting. The council responded that it was investigating the issue at Dandenong’s Meridian Estate. Visit www.facebook.com/DandenongJournal to let us know your answer to the puddle problem.
FOR a sure-fire way of finding out the latest prices for illicit drugs, go to the wise heads sitting in a courtroom gallery. A police prosecutor at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was shooting the breeze with a member of the public about the drug ‘ice’ scourge during court recess. “I think it’s $50 a point,” he said. “Is there anyone in the court who knows?” A lady bouncing a toddler on her lap called out: “A hundred.” After a pause, the prosecutor said: “Oh. There you go.” A MAGISTRATE was perplexed by a deaf “relay” team in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last week. An accused was flanked by two interpreters - one standing behind him signing in AUSLAN to another interpreter signing in a “more visual” way to the accused. An exasperated magistrate stopped the case to ask why there are two interpreters. “It’s done like this a lot these days,” the AUSLAN signer said, explaining the process. “I still don’t understand why there has to be two,” shrugged the magistrate.

A MAN fuelled by Serbian “shot-spirits” kicked and spat on police officers and a paramedic in a series of assaults on 10 August. Zoran Gagic was described by his lawyer in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday as a hard-working family man who ran his own painting business, didn’t regularly drink and had no prior convictions. Led into the dock from police holding cells, Gagic was handcuffed, sporting a sizeable graze to the left side of his face and wearing a blue police-issue jumpsuit. He pleaded guilty to assaulting seven police officers and a paramedic. He narrowly avoided proposed tougher laws for attacks on emergency workers, including police and paramedics. The laws, introduced to State Parliament last month but
not yet passed, demand a minimum six months’ jail for such attacks. Police prosecutor Cameron Smithett told the court a police sergeant attended an unrelated incident at a bar in Foster Street, Dandenong, about 3.30am on 10 August when he was punched several times to the face and head by Gagic’s friend outside the bar. The blows caused bleeding and lacerations to the officer’s face, Senior Constable Smithett said. He was brought to ground by police, requiring five officers to restrain him while he was being handcuffed. In Dandenong police station holding cells, Gagic kicked out and spat blood and saliva on a police officer who had tried to unhandcuff him. Ambulance paramedics, who transferred Gagic on a stretcher with restraints to Dan-
denong Hospital for observation were spat upon and kicked by Gagic. Paramedics chemically sedated Gagic for the “safety of staff”, Senior Constable Smithett said. Sen Const Smithett said police didn’t conduct a formal interview with Gagic because of the accused’s “violent behaviour”. Gagic’s lawyer said he had consuming about 15-20 “shotspirits” of a Serbian drink with friends and that his behaviour was out of character. Gagic was convicted and placed on a 12-month community corrections order, including 150 hours of unpaid community work and alcohol and offending behaviour treatment programs. A Greenvale man has been charged over the initial assault and bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court in December.

Walking into a long night FIONA Sherlock and her daughter Poppi, 9, will walk through the night to remember loved ones lost to cancer and raise funds to beat the disease. Greater Dandenong Relay for Life will be held at Ross Reserve in Noble Park from 4pm on Saturday 11 October to 10am on Sunday 12 October. Their first relay was in 2012 with their team the Dingley Dawdlers. “Initially the motivation was from grief and raw emotion, having lost my husband and Poppi’s dad Jason in February of that year to an aggressive and fast-moving brain tumour,” Ms Sherlock said. “Jase was ill for only 18 months, and during this time our entire life was turned upside down.” The Dingley Dawdlers are all school mums with children in the same year level as Poppi. “It’s a very caring and generous group who are extremely supportive of Poppi and I in so many ways,” Ms Sherlock said. “In our year level of about 80 children, and since Prep there have been three deaths one dad, one mum and a little three-year-old girl, sister of one of Poppi’s friends.”

GREATER Dandenong lost “a compassionate friend” when Patricia ‘Pat’ Blashki died on 5 August. Pat was awarded a 2003 Centenary Medal and an Order of Australia Medal in 1995. She joined the Springvale Benevolent Society 30 years ago when her husband Albert was mayor, and was also a Springvale and District Historical Society member. Pat counted donations for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal for more than 50 years, organised the World Day of Prayer in Spring-
vale for more than 35 years, and was on the Springvale District Community Hospital board for 17 years. She helped look after her nearly blind sister for 25 years and, through this contact with the Association for the Blind (Vision Australia), was a volunteer driver and craft teacher for more than three decades. Pat was named a City of Greater Dandenong Living Treasure in 2005, following Albert’s receipt of the title in 2000, for her long history of community service.
A tribute from the City of Greater Dandenong mayor, councillors and staff said her loving kindness, generosity and love of her family would always be remembered. “Our city has lost a compassionate friend and we will miss Pat dearly,” the tribute said. Pat passed away peacefully, aged 90. Survived by Albert, she was mother and mother-inlaw of Anne, Gail and Steve, Philip and Lyn, April and Rob, Mark and Belinda, Adrian and Sonia, and nana to 16 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

Hard worker focus on his studies. “I got the highest mark in business management out of 40 or 50 students,” he said. The 24-year-old is now three years into a commerce degree at Monash University. “But I will be doing my masters as well, after I finish the bachelor,” he said. “This is just the beginning.” Ali owns a cafe in central Dandenong, is opening a restaurant in six weeks and for the past three years has worked as a full-time social worker for Life Without Barriers. “When I was born in Kabul, that’s when the fight started,” he said. “After a while we fled to Pakistan as refugees. “The first night when I came to Australia I was thinking ‘I should be changing my life’. “I had all the opportunities here. “Of course I get exhausted, but you’ve got to work hard to get somewhere.” Ali said plenty of people tell him he’s crazy. “I’ve also got full-time soccer, four days a week. And I go to the gym as well two or three times a week,” he laughed. “It’s about working harder than others if you want to get on top. “When I go to bed, before sleeping, I write my to-do list for the next day. Sunday night, for the whole week.”
The weekly list sometimes fills both sides of an A4 sheet up to 90 hours of work. “It’s really good to be busy and I’m thankful,” he said. “I see young people around, they’re looking for a job, they don’t even have one job. “But sometimes the business is not doing well and you’re stressed out from that and can’t concentrate on your studies.” That’s when he turns to motivational videos and lectures. “What they all share is that hard work is the recipe for success,” he said. “Most of the millionaires work more than 60 or 70 hours a week on average. “Some of us work 30 or 40 hours and then we say ‘I did a lot this week, I need a good weekend, boohoo’. “If you want to get somewhere you’ve got to do a lot more.” Ali said some people complained about refugees taking their jobs. “If a refugee comes with no contacts here, with lack of language, who doesn’t even know how to get back to their house when they go outside - if he takes your jobs that means you’re not good enough,” he said. “You’re not trying enough. “Hopefully I will contribute something to this country. I’m really grateful to this country. “If I wasn’t here, I would have achieved none of this.”

AFGHAN refugee Ali Mustafa arrived in Australia on a Thursday night in 2008, aged 17. “Sunday I went to a butcher and I asked them if they needed someone for a job,” he said. “The manager said ‘write down your name and number and I will contact you’. “Monday, I waited until 12 o’clock and didn’t receive any calls so I went back. “I was like ‘you took my number and you never called me’. “She smiled and said ‘can you start today?’. “In a week’s time, I had my first pay.” Ali moved to a metal factory job a few months later where his colleagues encouraged him to go to school. “Some days I would finish at 3.10pm from school and had to be at 3.30pm at the factory, until 12 at night,” he said. “In my breaks I would do some study. “When I came home at 12 o’clock at night I would do another one or two hours of study, and then back to school the next day.” Ali struggled to keep up during his first six months of Year 11. “I didn’t even know basic maths,” he said. But he progressed to Year 12, and scaled back his hours in the factory to

AFGHAN refugee women have their hands on the wheel of independence, thanks to an innovative learn to drive program. The Association of Hazaras in Victoria launched its latest driving program on Friday 8 August. Backed by funding from the RACV, the program is open to both sexes but the focus is on helping women get their driving licence. Participants receive five professional driving lessons before they are handed over to volunteers who continue to help build participants’ skills and road sense. Now in its fourth year, the program received a boost earlier
this year with the purchase of a dedicated vehicle. By the end of the year, 90 refugees will have been through the program. Secretary of the Association of Hazaras in Victoria Ahmed Saberi said it was particularly important women were taught to drive. “Many of the Afghan women now in Dandenong came from rural and regional areas where it is taboo for women to drive,so they have no driving experience at all. Men have at least some driving experience,” Mr Saberi said. “It is very important that women can drive because they need to support their children and families. In a traditional Afghan fam-
ily the husband works and the women look after the children, which means getting kids to school, doctors appointments and things like that. If they are not able to drive they have to rely on their husbands. “Driving gives them independence.” Mr Saberi said mobility was also vital for integration and gave women the means to socialise outside the home. “Being able to drive lets women socialise with other people in their community or with the mainstream Australian community. It does a lot of good for their mental health.” The program was given a futher boost last week, with the RACV announcing an $18,000 grant.
Applications are now open for entry at the Year 9 level for 2015. Visit our website and follow the prompts or call our contact person Pam Robinson.

Muslims give gift of Buddha AFGHANI men carving a Buddha statue at a Keysborough Catholic Church seems an unlikely occurrence. But a predominantly Islamic group of Hazara men from Afghanistan have done just that. They last Wednesday unveiled a replica of one of the famous Buddhas of Bamyan - called Salsal - created at the Keysborough Men’s Shed over five months. “To us, it is not about religion, it is about honouring our cultural heritage, and showing people that we have something to offer this community,” one participant said. The original Buddha, one of
two that were carved into the cliffs in Afghanistan between the second and sixth centuries, was destroyed by the Taliban in 2001. Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre (SMRC) ran the project in partnership with Ermha, with support from the Association of Hazaras in Victoria and the Keysborough Learning Centre. The Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship funded the project under its Refugee Action Program. It was developed to address isolation and hopelessness for asylum seekers in the community, and to provide an opportu-
nity to improve their health and well-being. SMRC settlement services manager Despina Haralambopoulos said the result was stunning. “The men have recreated their history here, bringing a piece of Afghani culture into Dandenong,” she said. The Salsal will be on display at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens, 66 McCrae Street, Dandenong, for the rest of the year thanks to the City of Greater Dandenong. Call Ashleigh Newnham at SMRC on 9767 1900 for more information about the project.

Often they’re living in small units or share houses.” UNOH pays for the ingredients and Iranian-born Helen cooks. “It’s been great for the Aussies to taste a bit of Persian cooking and learn a bit about Persian culture as well,” Mr Hingley said.

Waterford Rise’s latest Stage 40 land release has hit the market. It is designed to offer homebuyers amazing value for money, particularly for those looking to get a foothold on the property ladder. Waterford Rise general manager Glenn Sanford said the release features 13 blocks ranging in size from 582 to 867 square metres, with prices starting from an extremely affordable $139,000. “Located on the crest of the estate on Crole Drive, these lots offer sensational views in every direction and like all lots at Waterford Rise, they come levelled, fully-fenced and ready to build on,” Mr Sanford said. “The development’s careful landscaping and beautiful parkland are set against impressive views of the Baw Baw Ranges to the north, the Strzelecki Ranges to the east and hundreds of acres of beautiful green paddocks in between.” Waterford Rise is currently experiencing an unprecedented phase of construction with 28 houses presently being built on the estate and on completion will take the number of homes constructed since the estate’s inception to about 160. “The amount of work being generated for local tradespeople is significant and a welcome boon to the local economy and it means we are really starting to see our terrific community here at Waterford Rise really take shape,” Mr Sanford said. “Waterford Rise will ultimately house around 3000 to 4000 people who will enjoy the many benefits of living five
minutes from the Warragul CBD, enjoying extensive walking and cycling paths, landscaped parks, sporting grounds, lakes and wetlands,” he said. Waterford Rise also recently released its premium The Rise Release Stage 7 which features eight remaining parcels of land along the crest of Crole Drive ranging in size from 674 to 733 square metres with prices starting at $159,000. Mr Sanford said these homesites offered buyers a range of premium land options with amazing views and direct access to parkland. “The Rise Release blocks are some of finest offered so far at the development all boasting spectacular views as well as direct access to parkland just across the road. “With fantastic views, which can never be built out due to their elevation, as well as designated parkland right across the road, we expect this precinct to feature houses that really bring Waterford Rise’s beautiful natural surrounds right into the home. “Another great feature of The Rise Release is the depth of the blocks, which range from 38 metres to 45 metres, allowing for generous, north-facing backyards further enhancing their attractiveness to buyers who can’t get enough of the great outdoors,” he said. You can visit the Waterford Rise display village at Silverwood Drive or for further information visit www.waterfordrise.com. au or call the estate manager Ann Maree on 1300 737 094.

HOUSE
TIMELESS DESIGN BUYERS with a discerning eye for early 20s century architecture will love Red Bluff Homes’s take on the iconic Californian bungalow. The Californian pays homage to the timeless design principals which originated in America in the early 20th century and were popular in Australia in the 1920s and ’30s. The façade of the home is immediately recognisable as a Californian bungalow with its distinctive front porch, incorporating stone and brickwork, framing the main building. The quality of the build is immediately evident in the portico’s timber decking and timber ceiling. Art deco touches, including ceiling roses, lighting and decorative cornices, feature throughout the front of the house, before the rear gives way to a more contemporary feel. High ceilings and above average door heights add to the spacious feel of the interior. The master bedroom, featuring a large window looking over the porch, includes his and hers walk-in wardrobes and a spacious ensuite, with separate toilet, glass shower and double vanity.
There are four distinct living zones including a theatre room, family space, meal area and a rumpus space. A sunken double sided fireplace is a stunning central feature. The kitchen, with double oven and stone benchtops, includes a discreet butler’s pantry. A further three bedrooms are arranged around a media room with built-in desks which provide the perfect space for younger members of the family to study or use technology. Quality timber craftsmanship continues through to the rear entertaining deck. The Californian combines the quality and style of yesteryear with a modern twist. It offers 39.59 squares, including the double garage and porch, and prices start at $189,900 for the three bedroom version. Buyers should take a drive through beautiful West Gippsland to see The Californian for themselves at 6 Cedarwood Drive, Warragul. Contact Peter Konjevic on 0418 515 755 or metro inquiries can be directed to Angie Williams on 9709 0400 or 0423 398 183.

NEW HOMES & LAND
GRANTS CYCLE FOR COMMUNITY CARLISLE Homes is giving back to the community in a big way through its Community Grants Program. It has just announced six winners in the first cycle of its four cycle grant program and is looking for more worthy recipients for Cycle Two - with applications open until 30 September. Entry is open to Melbourne and Geelong based community groups and not-for-profit organisations of any size which are seeking funding to help enhance the lives of people in their local community and can be classified into one of the following categories - sports and recreation, health and caring, and education and training. The successful grant recipients can receive up to $50,000 per cycle although,
like Cycle One - the total grant of $50,000 per cycle may be divided between a number of selected community groups. Carlisle Homes announced six winners in the first cycle of its Community Grants Program, which ran from 1 March to 30 June. All community grant winners were notified on Friday 1 August and were awarded their certificates and cheques on Tuesday 5 August by the Carlisle Homes directors at the award winning SPECTRA Selection Centre. Director John Doulgeridis said the program was important for the company. “For Carlisle Homes, it is a simple and effective way to engage with our communities and provide funding for real
grass roots initiatives,” Mr Doulgeridis said. The winning Cycle One projects included Koo Wee Rup Primary School which received $5246 for a greenhouse. This is an initiative to educate students regarding the benefits of sustainable gardening. Langwarrin Park Pre School won an $8580 grant for a sandpit shelter because learning through play is a crucial element of childhood development. The new sandpit shelter in the Outdoor Learning Environment at Langwarrin Park Pre School will provide children with valuable and exploration opportunities. Other winners included the Brentwood Park Primary School in Berwick which won a $9660 grant to be put towards its veggie
patch, and the Melton Phoenix Football Club received a $2500 grant to purchase samba goals for its sporting club to replace stolen and damaged goals. Carrum Downs Secondary College received $10,000 for its project, The Village - an interactive learning community and the grant will provide funding for an irrigation system, additional material to build extra garden beds, a commercial coffee machine for hospitality students and outdoor furniture for The Village. Aspendale Gardens Community Centre received a $10,000 grant to be put towards its Community Kitchen at the Aspendale Gardens Community Centre. Visit carlislehomes.com.au to apply for the next cycle of funding - which closes on 30 September.

Situated at 3 Close Avenue, Dandenong, they offer a unique investment opportunity. Close Central is perfectly positioned within walking distance of nearby transport, parks, schools and Dandenong city. In such a sought-after and
convenient location, these apartments would be unlikely to ever be vacant. The nine available apartments, from the total of 24, are all securely leased out, sleek and spacious one and two bedroom designs with superb views all in the heart of Dandenong. Each apartment boasts modern styling and superior finishes, secure parking and safe keypass entry. Other features include spacious open plan living and dining, built-in wardrobes in all bedrooms, contemporary
kitchens with Caesarstone bench-tops, stainless steel appliances and dishwasher, wool carpet, large tiled balcony or terrace and basement car space. With Dandenong’s grand $290 million revitalisation well underway, this is a chance to invest in Greater Dandenong. New shops and businesses will offer a fresh future with better transport and pedestrian links, open spaces for recreation and a revitalised city centre. This significant urban renewal seeks to restore Greater
Dandenong as the south-east’s economic powerhouse, continuing its rich heritage as a hub for business and manufacturing. With all this happening in Dandenong, it’s easy to see it’s an exciting place to live, work and invest. For further information head to www.colliers.com.au/ 501231287.

ey, Batoor rang a journalist’s business card using the cabbie’s mobile phone. Batoor had refused an interview request from the journalist before the failed boat trip to Christmas Island. Now he asked the journo to pay for the fare, in exchange for photos and an account of his clandestine journey from Thailand published on the Global Mail website. Batoor was facing up to eight years waiting to be processed as a refugee - but his case was “put in a special tray”. “At the time, my documentary Batoor’s Journey was screened on SBS. My journalist friends (who Batoor helped in Afghanistan) campaigned for me at the UN. They didn’t allow me take the boat again. “I had a fear it might backfire. I thought someone has to pay for telling this story for the tens of thousands of people.” Batoor is working on a photo book of his epic journey. He has recently focused his camera on fellow Hazaras who have built successful businesses in Dandenong. The photo essay has toured nationally as an exhibition. “I was really surprised and happy to see my community doing really well. You can see the way it has changed Dandenong. “They say 10 years ago it was really risky to come to Dandenong after 5pm. It’s now really lively. It’s a good business hub.”

He documented his perilous journey, which included an aborted boat trip to Christmas Island. The series won two Walkley awards last year. Along the way, the captain decided the leaking boat crammed with 96 people could not endure worsening storms. “We were never confident. There’s a 98 per cent risk of dying on that leaky boat crossing. “The water was pouring in faster than the pumps could take it out. Everyone lost hope that we could make it to Christmas Island or get back to Indonesia.” Six hours after turning back, the boat landed without food or water on a deserted side of a small island in western Java. Batoor’s camera was damaged by water but luckily its memory card was intact. The stranded party hailed a neighbouring resort boat, which handed them to detention in Java. All cash and belongings were confiscated in the detention centre. But by chance, Batoor’s backpack - containing his memory card - was not searched or taken. He and seven others escaped early the next morning as guards gathered around a campfire. The escapees pushed out two window panes, climbed into a nearby tree and used a pillow to cushion their clambering over a glass-shard tipped wall. They split up. Batoor and his partner hailed a taxi, which took them to Jakarta. Without mon-

PHOTO-JOURNALIST Barat Ali Batoor has ridden outrageous luck to settle in Melbourne’s south-east. He fled for his life from Afghanistan in 2012 after bravely exposing the under-reported prostitution of ‘dancing boys’ by the nation’s warlords in an artfully-shot picture essay. “I like taking risks,” he said. “Things need to be told. If nobody else is doing it, then I have to do it.” Batoor, 31, works as a community guide for new arrivals at AMES Dandenong and enjoys living in “quiet” Narre Warren after life had very much been on the edge. While working on his offending photo-essay he found Afghan boys as young as eight, dressed and made-up in women’s clothing to dance at parties for the privileged. Batoor said many of the boys were street kids and orphans, who were kidnapped or sold to warlords in much of Afghanistan, including its capital Kabul. Many were used as warlords’ sex slaves. “Having a good-looking boy is seen as a symbol of status,” Batoor said. “This had been a popular tradition that had been going on for so long. The problem with this was no-one can speak about it. It’s a taboo.” Batoor said he shone the world’s spotlight on the practice, risking his life to talk to the boys and photograph their trade. The story rocked the Afghan Government after it was published internationally and in Australia in such weighty media as The Washington Post. The matter was raised at the UN, which pressured the Afghan Government to take action - though it was only to ban dressing the boys in female attire and with bells on their feet. The warlords were offended by the expose which “created a problem for me”, Batoor said. “They’re greater than the law. They can do anything - it was extremely scary.” Batoor’s photo essays captured a Red Cross program for amputees in Afghanistan, the monstrous 2010 floods in Pakistan and local reaction to Osama Bin Laden’s assassination outside his formerly secret compound. “Sometimes it’s advantageous if you’re a local. You can get into the depth of the story, you know the language but on the other hand, you can’t escape quickly like foreign journalists. You don’t have the passports.” After the dancing boys story, he had to flee. After sheltering in Pakistan for a short time, Batoor enlisted the help of people smugglers to fly to Thailand, illegally enter Malaysia and travel by boat to Indonesia.

Beacon of hope, help By CASEY NEILL
Marad and Mohammed from Iran volunteer at the Doveton Salvation Army Thrift Shop. 124579 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
Asylum workers are the key ASYLUM seekers and new migrants are becoming a key part of the Salvation Army’s volunteer base in Dandenong. Dandenong Salvation Army corps officer Captain Stuart McGifford has partnered with settlement service AMES. “To see if we could provide meaningful work experience for
those who are yet to receive work rights, while at the same time meeting needs in the community,” he said. “So far it’s been great. The guys - mostly men at the moment - really pitch in and get things done. “We are achieving so much more together and it’s an enrich-
ing experience for our long-standing staff and volunteers to hear stories and meet people from different cultural backgrounds. “Iranians, Tamils, Iraqis, Afghans and others continue to be a blessing to our organisation and to our community.” - CASEY NEILL
YOUNG refugees looking for work are grappling with network, schooling and support issues. But Beacon is working to inspire and motivate them and other students to choose a positive pathway to employment. The not-for-profit foundation’s Duncan McKimm said many students with refugee backgrounds had little or no family in their new home. “The most difficult issue is the lack of the networks provided by their parents, their employers and wider family that often provide other young people with their first job opportunities,” he said. “Beacon’s role is to help make young people aware of the opportunities and industries around them, so
that they can show employers how motivated they are.” Mr McKimm said a lack of government support once they turned 18 also limited many young refugees. “At that point, they effectively need to find fulltime work or they are cut off from the social safety net,” he said. “For students who have often missed several years of school due to conflict or strife in their country of origin, this usually means finding any low-skilled work rather than building their employability skills by staying at school. “It can be a Catch 22 they need school to get the employability skills that will get them a good job they can survive or thrive on. “But they often need to take any job they can to survive, at the expense of their
schooling.” Mr McKimm said the Dandenong business community was usually very open to employing refugees. “However, literacy and numeracy skills can often be an issue for young people in this situation due to the disrupted schooling they may have received in earlier years,” he said. He said Beacon was working with industries like manufacturing and large employers like McDonald’s to take business to the classroom and educate young people about pathways and study options. “School-based traineeships and apprenticeships are particularly a focus for us, as they help build the critical employability skills of young people while providing them with an income,” Mr McKimm said.

Lions keep it in house By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE presidency handover at the fledgling Dandenong City Lions Club could be said to have been kept ‘in house’. Last month, the head title of the Keysborough-based club was passed from Ruwan Paul to his wife Lidia at a changeover dinner. Ms Paul put the spouse-tospouse handover down to circumstances. “Other members had either been in Lions for a lot of time and weren’t interested, or others were new - and they can take over further down the track.” Mr Paul, a retired Sri Lankan naval officer, and Mrs Paul, a migration lawyer, co-founded the club in March, aiming to attract younger members
cracking to start projects. Mr Paul had been president at another Dandenong-based Lions club, Ms Paul had been secretary when they opted to break away. Ms Paul reeled off recent events such as a monthly dinner for homeless people sheltering at Hanover’s Dandenong units, funding scholarships for hearing-impaired children, a toy drive for child patients at Dandenong Hospital, and Good Friday Appeal fundraisers. At its most recent event, club members planted more than 1000 trees at Tatterson Park, Keysborough, on a crisp Sunday morning this month. The club meets 7pm every second Wednesday at 8B/9 Futura Road, Keysborough. Details 0423 469 569.

Suspended driver appeals jail term By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A NOBLE Park man has appealed against a jail term after being caught driving four days into a court-ordered driving suspension. Darren Oakley pleaded guilty to driving while suspended and was sentenced to three months’ jail by magistrate Steven Raleigh at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday. “He’s thumbing his nose to the
community and the court,” Mr Raleigh said. It was Oakley’s fifth relevant offence; his history included unlicensed driving and drink-driving. Oakley had been spotted driving by police on Dunblane Road, Noble Park on 24 May - and was unable to produce a driver’s licence at their request. Police prosecutor Cameron Smithett said Oakley told police he was on his way back from hospital where he had taken his ailing child.
His licence was suspended for six months by a Dandenong magistrate on 20 May. Oakley’s lawyer told the court his client lived with his parents but had “no-one else” to transport the child to hospital. He said the child got a taxi back from the hospital with Oakley’s parents while Oakley drove home. Mr Raleigh retorted: “I’d have thought (Oakley’s mother) would have driven to avoid her son driving and going to jail”.
“There was absolutely no reason for him to drive home from the hospital. (He) could have walked home instead of choosing to drive.” Mr Raleigh said he found “some exceptional circumstances” that reduced Oakley’s sentence from six months’ jail. Oakley was released on bail pending his appeal at the County Court. Mr Raleigh added a bail condition that Oakley could not drive during the interim.
Card game fires up A GAME of cards was interrupted by a kitchen fire that caused significant damage to a Dandenong home - one of a series of suspicious fires in Greater Dandenong. Detective Sergeant Shane Pola of Greater Dandenong CIU said one of the occupants found the Benga Avenue house’s rear kitchen floor alight while checking food on the stove about 9pm on 9 August. At the time, the cards session was taking place in the front of the house. Sergeant Pola said police wanted to speak to two people who helped the occupants at the scene. The next night, a rubbish bin at a construction site at Hughes Street, Dandenong North, was deliberately set alight. The fire, which started at 10.30pm, was contained to the bin. Earlier this month, a car was set on fire in Cleary Street, Springvale South. The owner, who was inside a house at the time, heard a loud bang outside and discovered flames bursting from the side of his car. The fire was quickly brought under control, Sergeant Pola said. Any information on these incidents to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic. com.au
Men brawl in street A 48-YEAR-OLD man has been hospitalised with serious injuries after a brawl between a group of males in Noble Park. Detective Sergeant Shane Pola, of Greater Dandenong CIU said the Mordialloc man received “impact injuries” to his stomach and upper body during the fight about 10.40pm on 10 August. The fight broke out at the intersection of Chandler Road and Douglas Street after an unknown male smashed a nearby home’s front window. The injured man was taken to The Alfred hospital in a serious but stable condition. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Gateway to worker support By CASEY NEILL GATEWAY Industries has been providing employment, training and support for people with disabilities for more than 20 years. But the Dandenong-based not-forprofit needs support itself, to grow and take on more employees. “I might get four or five calls a day, some days,” CEO Alan Warwick said. Gateway collects litter and cleans bins and street furniture in Greater Dandenong. Its gardening division completes mulching, weeding and planting for the City of Casey, and the processing room’s main clients are in the car industry. Workers are making bathmats in the woodwork room. “We’ve got orders right up to December for them,” Mr Warwick said. He said many workers lived in Cranbourne, with Doveton, Hallam and Berwick also highly represented. “Some of them get referred by Dandenong Valley Job Support, or one of the other jobs services, or through Emerson School,” he said. “When I came here we had 45 people. We’re up to 52 at the moment.” He’s been with Gateway for nine years after starting as a volunteer, looking for something to do in retirement. “We’d like some more volunteers, just even to help in the office,” he said. “We need a supervisor in the processing area. “Sometimes they can have 15 people in there and it’s just a bit hard to control them all. Just another person there would be a big help.
Pat Patching shows Gateway CEO Alan Warwick, centre, and Dandenong Rotary Club’s Ken McDonald and Pictures: ROB CAREW Trevor Harding how to assemble key rings. 125224 “The only thing you’ve got to have these days is a police clearance.” Nicci Guttery, from Pakenham, has worked at Gateway for seven years next month, and has held a team leader role for the past two. “It’s so relaxed,” she said. “Everyone’s so easy to get along with. “It’s just a great place to work, I love it.” Ms Guttery said it would have been
hard for her to find work without Gateway. “They cater for everybody,” she said. “I’ve got a bad back and I can change jobs if I need to relieve the pressure.” Pat Patching, from Hallam, worked at Gateway for nearly 14 years before retiring last March, and is now back as a casual. “I couldn’t handle staying at home,” she said.
“I grew up with intellectually disabled people. I’ve been in institutions all my life. “I’ve come to like them. They’re easy people to get along with. “And I just like the work they do here.” Dandenong Rotary’s Ken McDonald said the club helped to establish Gateway in 1983. It was the brainchild of Arthur Wren from Emerson School.
Nicci Guttery with timing belts ready for packaging. 125224 “He decided they needed something like this which would be the step after they left Emerson,” Mr McDonald said. “The first step was in the hall in Doveton.” The growing Gateway moved to Bridge Road, Keysborough, before purchasing a factory in Progress Street, Dandenong, 11 years ago. The Dandenong and Noble Park Rotary clubs still support it financially. The cash goes toward vehicles, equipment and more.

Both make LLEN pledge By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE State Government has now promised funding to the Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLENs) in 2015 but refused to make any more funding promises for the LLENs beyond next year. Education Minister Martin Dixon last Thursday promised the government would spend $8 million on the LLENs - including on the South East LLEN (SELLEN) based in Dandenong - in 2015 if successful in the November poll, with its current funding arrangement to finish at the end of 2014. Mr Dixon’s announcement came days after the Opposition promised to spend $32 million on the 31 Victorian LLENs over four years if it wins the election. The Victorian LLENs, which have existed since 2001, have been co-funded by the state and federal governments from 2010 to 2014 but from next year the funding will be the responsibility of the Victorian Government alone.
In 2014 the Federal Government supplied $10 million to the Victorian LLENs and the State Government funded $2.3 million, a total of $12.3 million, according to SELLEN. But Mr Dixon said the total funding amount for the LLENs from the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments in 2014 was $13.3 million. He said the Napthine Government’s funding for the LLENs would be increased from $2.3 million to $8 million next year but did not commit to a funding promise beyond 2015. “New arrangements will be developed with input from LLENS, workplace learning co-ordinators, schools, industry and other stakeholders that support improved educational outcomes in the new context without Federal Government funding in 2016,” Mr Dixon said. While SELLEN CEO Andrew Simmons said he was buoyed by the government’s announcement, he remained con-
cerned there had been no commitment from the Liberal Party beyond next year. “We’re certainly encouraged that they’ve made a commitment and that they recognise the work we do but a one-year rollover does create further uncertainty, not just for us but for the young people we try to benefit,” he said. Labor candidate Gabrielle Williams and Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan were at SELLEN last Tuesday to confirm the Opposition’s $32 million promise over four years. “This is a deadly serious issue around Dandenong and around Casey because, with the loss of those unskilled jobs, we need to ensure that we upskill our youth and have them focused on a particular outcome,” Mr Donnellan said. “You’ve got to have that service available to people around here because so many jobs have been lost over the last couple of years.”
Nina stands for the Greens By CASEY NEILL NOBLE Park community worker Nina Springle is promising to give the region a voice. The Greens candidate is running for a South Eastern Metropolitan Region seat, in the legislative council, in the November state election. Ms Springle launched her campaign at Bombardier in Dandenong last week with a transport policy announcement. “We will be calling for another 50 trams to be manufactured at that factory on top of the 50 they already have on order,” she said. “That would increase jobs by about 500 in the region.” She said the Greens had also proposed a number of extensions to existing tram routes to ease overcrowding, which would have a flow-on effect to the south-east. “All of the other times that I’ve run - this is my fourth campaign in the region - the feedback I keep getting from people is that they’re tired of being ignored,” she said.
Greens Leader Greg Barber with Nina Springle. 125543 Picture: ROB CAREW “A lot of seats in our region are considered to be safe Labor or Liberal. “It does seem to be that the politicians don’t give you as much attention as they would if it was a marginal seat. “I think people are really tired of it.” Ms Springle said the Greens’ vote increased by more than
600 in last year’s Lyndhurst byelection, and Labor’s dropped by 5000. “That’s a lot of people who would ordinarily vote Labor because they’re rusted on but are so tired that they didn’t,” she said. “I think it’s really time that people got some proper representation.”

JOANNA Palatsides will contest the seat of Dandenong for the Liberal Party at November’s State Election. Ms Palatsides lives in Endeavour Hills with her husband Themy and son Nikolaous. “I’ve been actively involved in the local community for 18 years, including acting as a voluntary Justice of the Peace at Dandenong Police Station, a community guardian for young people who need a stateappointed guardian, and as a committee or office-bearer for a number of local organisations,” she said.
Joanna Palatsides. “Through my extensive community work, I see every day how government decisions impact local residents.
“I decided it was time to fight for the people of Dandenong and show the locals that there is a better alternative. “I look forward to meeting with local residents over the coming months and speaking to them about how we can build a better Dandenong.” Gabrielle Williams announced in February that she would vie to keep Dandenong in ALP hands, with current Labor MP John Pandazopoulos to step down after almost 22 years. The Victorian state election will take place on 29 November.

Hot and cold Bulls off Knight’s menu
By JARROD POTTER JON Knight is no longer Noble Park’s coach. Knight’s tenure at the EFL Division-1 club has drawn to an end after 16 matches following a mutual decision by the Bulls and the coach to go their different ways. In a statement on the club’s social media networks on Tuesday evening, Noble Park Football Club said it was a joint decision to sever ties early - after it was announced Knight would not coach the club in 2015 - and wished Jon the best for his future coaching endeavours. “The Noble Park Football Club announced tonight (Tuesday) that Jon Knight and the club have reached a mutual agreement to conclude coaching duties effective immediately,” the statement read. “The Noble Park Football Club have started the process of appointing a new coach, and they
wish Jon the very best and thank him for his service.” Noble Park president David Allan said the decision boiled down to on-field results only and weren’t a reflection on Knight’s character. “Jon’s a ripper bloke, there’s no doubt about that, but the club has high benchmarks and that’s most of the decision,” Allan said. “We’d assessed where we’re at - the expectation to play finals - and we decided that we were going to look around for a coach in 2015. “With two games to go we eventually agreed that we’d have a fresh start and a fresh approach and that’s how it happened.” Knight finished his time at Noble Park with an 8-7-1 winloss-draw record including one of the upsets of the season when Noble Park defeated league powerhouse Balwyn by 28 points at their home field. He arrived at
Moodemere Street fresh from a three-year stint as coach of Knox. Current player and former assistant coach Stewart Kemperman will act as interim coach for the remaining two matches of the season and he thanked Knight for his efforts this season with the group. “I found out yesterday (Tuesday) about lunch-time about the decision they (the committee) took and initially I just felt for Jon to be honest,” Kemperman said. “I’ve worked with him closely and have a lot of respect for him… learned a lot from him so first thoughts were obviously for him.” Kemperman looked forward to the challenges of coaching the remaining two matches this year and didn’t rule out a bid for the Bulls’ job in 2015 or other coaching roles in years to come. “When I did find out, it was a terrific opportunity,” Kemperman said.
“Not the way you want to come in to the role but an opportunity nonetheless that we can hopefully make something of in the last couple of weeks. “It (coaching) is on my radar and this is a club that I’ve put a lot of time, effort and emotion into… it’s been really good to me and my family over the last eight-ornine years. “It’s a great place to start and I would be thrilled if it were to continue beyond this year, but we’ll wait and see how that goes and focus on the next two weeks and finish this year and setting the club up to start next season with a full head of steam.” Knight took the job last September after long-time premiership coach Mick Fogarty retired following the 2013 EFL grandfinal defeat to Balwyn.

Huang has a paddle in China By JARROD POTTER
Dominic Huang will take on the table-tennis world at the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games this week in China. 125132 Pictures: JARROD POTTER
HE might be the lowest ranked athlete in the Youth Olympics’ competition, but Greater Dandenong Table Tennis Association rising-star Dominic Huang will not let that stand in his way at the international tournament. Huang, 16, from Mount Waverley, is currently in China as he represents Australia in the table tennis competition at the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games. “To make the Youth Olympic team was a dream-come-true,” Huang said. “I had worked so hard for it and when I made it I was really satisfied and happy…” He’s played at the association, based at Dandenong Oasis, for three years and progressed rapidly under the tutelage of the coaches at the facility. Huang credits the move to Greater Dandenong for his improvement as a player - with coaches helping him advance
through the ranks and all the way to the peak of Australian table tennis. After qualifying as one of the top Australian players earlier this year for an Oceania tournament, Huang advanced through to win the second and deciding Youth Games’ qualifier to earn the one male place on the Australian table tennis team. “To be that one person, I’m really grateful to represent my country and it will always be something that I will bear with pride and passion,” Huang said. A multiple Australian representative at junior under-15 and under-18 level, Huang is taking his game to the next level at the Youth Olympics. He knows the odds are against him making it past the initial rounds in the competition, but he wants to knock off a couple of big names and impress at the Games. “The main thing that I’m looking forward to is meeting the different athletes and staying in the Olympic Village… it will be
a memorable experience,” Huang said. “I’m the lowest ranked player there so I have no big dreams that I will win it, as that’s very unlikely, but I hope that I play my best and hopefully get some wins against some better players as everyone going are the best players from their countries and continents.” Coached in part by Dandenong-based Commonwealth Games representative Heming Hu, Huang has learned off the international representative what it means to pull on the green and gold and earn your place in worldwide tournaments. “He knows the way to prepare yourself and handle pressure and stress - so he has been a great help as well.” Huang said. Huang wanted to thank his coaches, the Greater Dandenong club and his parents for their support in his table-tennis journey. The Nanjing Youth Olympic Games run from 16-28 August.

BIG V - Youth Men 2
The man with the Rangers’ final frenzy Golden Hands By JARROD POTTER
Keysborough Cougars’ guard Jamal Talo earned another supreme prize - adding the Big V Youth Men 2 Golden Hands Award to his premiership medallion for 2014. 125368 Picture: JARROD POTTER
By JARROD POTTER THE accolades keep coming for Keysborough Cougars’ Youth Men after guard Jamal Talo earned the Big V Youth Men 2 Golden Hands Award. The Golden Hands - awarded to the basketball player who created the best average of most assists, most steals and least turnovers - went to Talo as his season record gave him a 5.7 per game average to lead the league. His premiership-winning season with Keysborough only occurred after Talo received his marching orders from Casey Cavaliers at the start of the season - but a chance tryout at with the Cougars paid off and propelled him to the top of the averages in the division. Talo shunned his critics to lead the league’s guards this year in assists (6.1 per game) and finish second for steals (2.9 per game). “It’s a huge blessing,” Talo said. “From being cut to winning a championship and to receive an award I’ve been fighting for all season is a huge blessing. “I couldn’t have done it without the hard work of my teammates… week-in week-out all 19 boys put in 100 per cent effort… without them I wouldn’t be able to have as many assists as I did…
this should be a team award!” Talo’s coach Craig Smethurst said he felt at ease knowing Talo was on court and able to guide the offence and defence. “As a coach you always feel more comfortable when you have someone on the floor who can lead your team,” Smethurst said. “We play an offence where the guys have the freedom to be creative so to have someone steering the ship is a luxury for me. “Jamal is always looking to get his team-mates involved many times sacrificing his own game, it is great to see him get some individual recognition as well.” “It has been well documented that he was told his services were not needed elsewhere, well as a coach - and I know his team-mates feel the same - we couldn’t be happier to have him as part of our Championship-winning family.” Talo is also up for all-star honours as guard, defensive player of the year and rising star in the division to cap off his stellar year at Keysborough. Other Keysborough Youth Men in line for honours are Matt Walker (all-star centre, most valuable player and defensive player), Ben Morwood (all-star forward) and Staci Richardson (all-star forward, defensive player and MVP).
FIGHTING for top spot in the SEABL East, Dandenong Rangers’ men defeated Sandringham on Saturday before a gallant but disappointing loss to Nunawading on Sunday sealed its fate as the second-ranked team. It was an all-star performance on Saturday night though as Dandenong stormed to the finish in a 103-69 smashing of Sandringham. A 37-16 second quarter domination granted the Rangers some breathing space and was sealed by a Oriesti Nitsios’ half-time, three-point, buzzer-beater that whip the crowd, and the Rangers’ roster into a frenzy. The 34-point blowout continued after the main break as the Rangers were able to rotate the bench - keeping the starters fresh for Sunday’s showdown against Nunawading. Daequon Montreal (27 points, 13 rebounds) could have had 50 points at the rate he was going - from only 26 minutes court-time - while Tony Lewis (18 points, 11 rebounds) and Owen Odigie (15 points) also had fun in the rampaging victory. Part two of the double header over the weekend was the low point for the Rangers however, facing Nunawading Spectres on Sunday afternoon in Round 20 of the SEABL Men’s, and the final game of the home-and-away season. The Rangers were badly spooked by the Spectres in the last match of the regular season in an 83 to 76-point defeat, as Daequon Montreal (24 points, 4 rebound) and Owen Odigie (13 points, 6 rebounds) gallantly fought off the Sandringham defence. Dandenong will now face Ballarat Miners at Dandenong Stadium on Saturday 23 August in their first SEABL final of 2014.

FOOTBALL FEDERATION VICTORIA - NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUES
Future forecast… plenty of Thunder By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG Thunder performed much better than what any critic would have believed heading into its NPL clash with ladder leading South Melbourne. Former Thunder coach Chris Taylor brought his high-flying South Melbourne outfit to George Andrews Reserve on Saturday night and made the most of the conditions to take a 1-0 victory. For the second time this
season Dandenong did the unthinkable and held South Melbourne goalless through the first half - emulating the form that forced a penalty shootout in their Dockerty Cup clash earlier this season. The vastly less-experienced Dandenong Thunder side showed glimpses of its future prospects in the division as the likes of Keiran Dover, Matt Millar and Feston Azizi stepped up to keep creating chances in hope of the go-ahead goal.
Unfortunately for the home side the go-ahead came from the boot of the opposition as Brad Norton cannoned the through-ball to Jamie Reed who slotted the one-and-only goal of the match in the 59th minute to give the former NSL powerhouse the victory. Dandenong Thunder head to Pascoe Vale on Friday night for a must-win match to stay out of the grips of relegation. In NPL1 results, Dande-
nong City had its six-game lossless streak halted 0-2 by Sunshine George Cross after Christopher Dib slotted two goals, including an 86th minute penalty. The eighth placed Dandenong City now face Avondale Heights SC at home this Saturday, while Springvale White Eagles play Kingston City FC tonight (Monday, 18 August) at The Grange Reserve and the White Eagles hosts FC Bendigo on Saturday.

Finals’ fate in the balance By JARROD POTTER HOPES of a TAC Cup double chance were treated with disdain by a fleet of lacklustre Dandenong Stingrays. Dandenong could have been ejected from the TAC Cup’s topfour after its insipid last-term capitulation against Western Jets at Shepley Oval on Saturday - their finals’ fate swinging in the balance on Sunday’s match between Calder and North Ballarat - but with Calder taking the win, Dandenong was in luck. Taking a lead into the last break, the moment it became tough in the trenches the Stingrays slumped, bowed their heads and accepted defeat as the Jets stole the 17-point win. The benchmarks of Dandenong football were nowhere to be found in the fourth quarter as voices dropped, link-up play died and the ball became the sole play-toy of Western.
Dandenong’s one-point finalbreak margin was hard earned through the third term as Lachie Williams (2 goals) Taylor Joyce (2 goals) and Blake Mullane snagged crucial majors to knock the wind out of the Western attack. It was mostly one-way traffic in the final term as Western slammed on four goals to one. A likely shot on goal for captain Jack Lonie was squandered as his two-bounce run towards goals was halted by a superb Western Jets’ run-down tackle. The ball immediately sprung forward as the Jets stormed back up their end of the field and kicked the match-sealing goal through Jackson Volpato. Dandenong hard-nut Alex Harnett crashed through the packs to help out the midfield after missing four weeks with a broken hand and was denied what would have been a goal of the year candidate in the
fourth term as his tackle-busting 50-metre roost was stopped by a fingertip on the line. Rourke Fischer conceded a free kick, then a 50-metre penalty, which Jets’ Jackson Viola drilled to put the finishing touches on the rampage. Coach Craig Black told the group the lack of desire to fight for the ball cost them the game. “That’s what it looked like from the outside today definitely,” Black said. “We had the ball then they went up and kicked a goal, and all just dropped our heads… it’s something we have to work on. “It’s one little part, but I wish we didn’t do that… that’s something to work on with a young group.” Dandenong heads to North Port Oval on Saturday to face Geelong Falcons from 11am with both sides in desperate need of some form
heading into the post-season. “We play Geelong, who I rate as a really good team when they have all their schoolkids, but that’s the great thing about being in the TAC Cup - we get to come up against them and if we get the double chance I’d much rather make it with good form behind us… the kids have to bounce back so it’s good to see the character of the boys.” Cranbourne’s Dylan Barfoot earned his first match of the season, but was left with an injured hand and played no part in the fourth term. Strength did come from the defenders as Matt Homfray and Jacob Weitering were listed best on ground along with midfielders Rourke Fischer and Blake Mullane. Taylor Joyce remains in the hunt for the TAC Cup’s goal kicking prize - trailing Northern Knights’ Reece McKenzie by four heading into the final round.
Reheated and on the plate... Bulls By JARROD POTTER EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 17 “IT’S A good start boys… but that’s all it is.” This was a fitting insight and a sadly prophetic assessment by newly-appointed Noble Park coach Stewart Kemperman in his side’s clash on Saturday against Vermont. Noble Park stormed out and showed significant intent in its first match led by the veteran defender/ midfielder - after the club and former coach Jon Knight parted ways earlier this week. The Bulls took a lead into the first break as the side bucked pre-
dictions to lead by 10. Noble Park held onto a slender margin at the main break but could not stop the Vermont gears from turning after the half. Justin Van Unen (8 goals) showed why he’s one of the best players outside of the AFL/VFL ranks to kick his fourth bag of eight for the year. Noble Park forward mainstay Shayne Allan kicked his way to 300 career goals for the Bulls as he jagged five to emulate the efforts of VFA champion full forward Fred Cook who was watching the match - following a signing session of his biography in the clubrooms. Dan Keely (3 goals) and Nathan Carver (2 goals) showed glimpses of future promise for the Bulls while the
heavy lifting in the midfield was achieved by Keely, Sam Monaghan and captain Craig Anderson. Noble Park finishes its season away at South Croydon on Saturday.
CASEY CARDINIA FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 17 THE pain of Casey Cardinia is about to abate for Keysborough as it played out its last away fixture in the league. The Kangaroos hopped all over the Burra in a 97-point smashing, with Tim Werner, Daniel Morland (2 goals) and Michael Downie the best of the Keysborough bunch. Keysborough hosts Hampton Park on Saturday in its final Casey Cardinia match with the league’s
wooden spoon on the line.
VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Division 2 - round 17 ST JOHN’S slightest of chances to make finals were dashed by premiership favourites Kew in a 52-point loss. The Bears roared past the JOCs in the first quarter - recording seven goals to one. While a gallant fight back did eventuate - St John’s did not have the cattle to get the job done against the might of the ladder leaders. Anthony Brannan and Adam Jones kicked two apiece while Manny Jakwot starred through the ruck and up forward. St John’s finishes its season this week against Elsternwick at home.
SANDOWN has leapt over Lyndale to secure the SFL Division 3 second chance. THE Cobras skyrocketed from fifth to third in the last three weeks with beatings of Ashwood, Hallam and on Saturday - Black Rock. The Jets looked feeble against the might of Sandown in a 97-point crushing. The Jets - already destined to make finals before this weekend - showed it was a step below the front-runners as Clint Sheedy posted seven majors. Joining Sheedy up forward, Frank Martinicchio (5 goals) and Jason Toan (3 goals) had a superb outing against the Jets. Daniel Macklin and Jake Chapman also impressed through the centre. The Cobras earned a qualifying-final against Carrum Patterson Lakes on Saturday at Heatherton’s Ross Street Reserve. Lyndale will rue its finish to the regular season as the premiership contenders Mount Waverley pummelled the Pumas by 61 points. The Pumas flew out of the starters’ blocks to kick seven goals to two in the first quarter - as Dale Tormey (2 goals) and the other Lyndale attackers started to crush the Mountain Lions. The second term saw the beginning of the Mount Waverley juggernaut waking - kicking six goals and starting to feed SFL leading-goal-kicker James Gough. Gough would finish with seven as Lyndale failed to match pace and kicked a miserable one-goal-nine after quarter time. Lyndale enters the repechage and faces Black Rock in an elimination final at Ross Street Reserve, Heatherton on Sunday from 2.15pm. Dandenong finished its season on a bright note, with a 94-point demolition of Endeavour Hills. Brodie O’Loughlin had a feast up forward - snagging seven goals - while Warren Kairns, Scott Murphy and Cameron Riley were the starring Redlegs. Dandenong finishes the season eighth out of the 10 SFL Division 3 teams.
Division 2 - round 17 THE Newcomen Road faithful farewelled club legend Gavin Vassallo with a rousing 10-point victory over Caulfield. Vassallo, a champion midfielder at Noble Park and Springvale Districts, turned it on at home to register yet another best-on-field effort in the Demons’ 9.11 (65) to 7.13 (55) triumph. The Districts led throughout the clash and kept chipping away at the Bears’ defences with Clinton Brooks, David Ford and Vassallo potting two apiece. Daniel Wilson also featured in the best afield - as shaving off his beloved beard seemed to pay big dividends on field in a Samson reversal. Springvale Districts says farewell to Vassallo and the 2014 season on Saturday against Moorabbin at Widdop Crescent Reserve.

MOTORING
Wagon shows sports stance THE Skoda Octavia has been given a firm shove in the back with the introduction of a new RS model. The third generation RS is the fastest production Octavia ever and is the culmination of 113 years of Skoda motorsport experience. It’s sold in Australia as a sedan and station wagon. Powered by a petrol or diesel engine, the flagship Octavia RS will roar from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in 6.8 and 8.3 seconds respectively, all the while bringing a new level of fuel economy and low emissions to the brand. The latter draws on the Octavia RS’s start/ stop engine technology and brake energy recuperation systems of both engines, which are mated respectively with a six-speed manual or dualclutch transmission, or just an automatic transmission. There is no mistaking the Octavia RS’s intention, with unique design features leaving its sporting stamp on both sedan and wagon. Sitting lower on the road than the standard model, the wagon is longer by 86mm and wider by 45mm with
Lower and larger... Skoda wagon carries sporting heritage with ease. the wheelbase extended by 102mm resulting in a shorter front overhang. Central to the front end is a characteristic Skoda grille, air inlets with a honeycomb structure, a new apron and foglights in RS design, as well as new bi-xenon headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lights. RS badging, duplicated on the rear and stand-out red brake callipers complete the sporty exterior. Inside is replete with similar pointers, including newly designed RS sport
Model range Octavia RS 162 TSI 2.0-litre petrol four-door sedan: $36,490 (manual), $38,790 (DSG automatic); Octavia RS 135 TDI 2.0-litre diesel four-door sedan: $39,790 (DSG automatic); Octavia RS 162 TSI 2.0-litre petrol five-door wagon: $37,840 (manual), $40,140 (DSG automatic); Octavia RS 135 TDI 2.0-litre diesel five-door wagon: $41,140 (DSG automatic).
seats in a standard quality fabric and leather trim combination. Alcantara leather with red contrast stitching is an option. Further markers include a stylish three-spoke steering wheel with perforated leather and an instrument cluster with a colour multi-
function display, the RS badge again popping up on the steering wheel, gearshift, door sill plates, seats and floor mats. Clever features of the cabin include a door-mounted rubbish bin with removable plastic liner and a holder in the centre console
that takes a range of mobile phones and portable media players. The 2.0-litre diesel engine can hold its head high among others of the ilk with 135kW on tap at 4000rpm and 380Nm at hand from 1750 to 3000 revs, producing up to 10 per cent more power while saving up to 17 per cent in fuel over the predecessor. Standard start/ stop engine technology and brake energy recuperation systems put in their penn’orth here. The Volkswagen/Skoda DSG double-clutch transmission has come ahead in leaps and bounds. The six-speed version in the RS wagon is as good as it gets in automatic mode. Paddle shifts add little to the driving experience. Standard fitment of newly developed active safety systems include the multi-collision brake with automatic braking action engaged following an accident, Passenger Protect Assist and Fatigue Detection. In a crash, nine airbags working with seatbelts help to protect driver and passengers from injuries. The Octavia range boasts a fivestar ANCAP safety rating.
