■ Out-of-control intersection is causing traffic mayhem...
Smash central By CASEY NEILL A LACK of lights at a busy Dandenong intersection is colliding with driving behaviour to create a serious safety hazard. Lamis Albyati frequently witnesses crashes at the junction of Scott and Thomas streets and is calling for signalisation five years after first expressing concern about the removal of the roundabout which controlled the intersection. She told the Journal she was assured at the time that traffic lights would replace it as part of the Revitalising Central Dandenong project. "It’s in the middle of Thomas Street - the most crowded and very dangerous place to drive and walk," she said. But she’s since heard that signalisation would be seven years away. Ms Albyati drove in her homeland, Iraq, for 25 years before she moved to Australia. "So when I first came here I couldn’t even think about driving, she said. "We drive on the other side of the road. "I thought 'I’m not going to drive until my mind will switch from the left to the right’ because I didn’t want to hurt anyone. "I nearly got killed by a bus because I was looking at the wrong side of the road." She said most people in Dandenong came from the same background as her. "We don’t stop in intersections," she said. "There has to be something very obvious to tell them what to do. "Stop signs are not enough. "It’s scary and it’s confusing." Ms Albyati works at WISE Employment on Thomas Street.
Lamis Albyati is calling for lights at the Scott and Thomas streets intersection. 126034 "Even with the roundabout it was dangerous there because they don’t stop, but it was less dangerous," she said. "They just keep driving. "There is always broken glass at that intersection. There is always an accident happening in that area. "There is one accident every week. How many accidents are there going to be in seven years?" Councillor Matthew Kirwan said
the intersection was a safety hazard. "Either the roundabout needs to be reintroduced or signalisation of the intersection needs to be done urgently before there is a much more serious accident," he said. "It is not just a hazard for drivers pedestrians could be injured as well. "We are trying to make Thomas Street pedestrian-friendly and the current situation is far from it." The council’s acting engineering

services director Oliver Vido said an independent traffic engineer completed a road safety audit. They found the intersection’s design complied with standards and was consistent with many others in the area. "The independent observations of accidents have highlighted that these have been caused by drivers failing to comply with the road rules, not directly associated with the intersection design," he said.
Mr Vido said the council had installed additional line marking to highlight the intersection to drivers. "STOP has been marked on the ground at the Thomas Street approaches," he said. "In the longer term, the intersection may be suitable for traffic signals. "That will be considered through the council’s capital works program as traffic volumes grow and the signals are justified."

Jail not justice By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS DEFENDANTS are ending up in jail unnecessarily because of cuts to legal aid, a lawyer has claimed. Catherine O’Bryan, partner and manager of Dandenong and Pakenham-based law firm Galbally and O’Bryan, said a “substantial” number of people were no longer qualifying for Victorian Legal Aid court representation. “We have really noticed the numbers grow this year,” she said. She claimed it led to unrepresented people not being able to access justice by facing charges they didn’t have to face, pleading guilty to charges they should fight and getting heavier sentences than they otherwise should. “At the worst, people are unnecessarily going to jail or are getting criminal convictions, which can lead to disastrous results to their income. “You have to be certain you could be going to prison or on a very low income to get
adequate representation. “On driving matters, there’s no representation funding whatsoever. But the VLA will fund an appeal if you go to jail.” A spokeswoman confirmed that despite soaring demand, VLA had helped fewer people in Melbourne’s south-east in the past year. The VLA stated last week that many poor and disadvantaged people were missing out on help in the south-east - an “area of high unmet legal need”. The spokeswoman said “current services aren’t keeping up with client and court demand”. Facing a $9.3million statewide deficit in 2012-13, the service largely stuck at 2008 funding levels - introduced tougher eligibility criteria for clients. It resulted in the number of people in the south-east getting VLA court representation, legal advice or help from a duty lawyer dropping from 18,082 people in 2011-12 to 17,284 the following financial year.
In June, the VLA called for more funding to help at least 60,000 more people statewide. Law Institute of Victoria president Geoff Bowyer said demand had grown due to the state government’s tougher law-and-order regime more police and PSOs and harsher sentences. At the same time, state and federal legal-aid funding had failed to keep pace. “It’s a classic situation of Rome burns while Nero fiddles. People normally expecting assistance aren’t getting it. “Unless you’re on welfare payments these days, it’s hard to get legal aid grants. Litigants on median incomes who can’t afford private lawyers suffer.” According to a Victorian Auditor General’s report Access to Legal Aid released last week, the VLA estimated its unmet demand for services would soon more than double from 2012-13 levels - up from 5.7 per cent to 12.1 per cent in 2015-16.
Auditor-General John Doyle wrote the VLA’s funding was “based largely on demand levels from 2008”. “Much has changed in the past six years, with tension between demand and increasingly scarce resources. “VLA faces a challenge in remaining financially sustainable and meeting demand to minimise the further erosion of access to justice for Victoria’s most vulnerable citizens.” The report stated the VLA was reviewing its service model for Melbourne’s south-east. The VLA is collaborating with community legal centres to identify service gaps and “work out the most effective ways to assist people with legal problems”, the VLA spokeswoman said.

Drivers in park fight A MAN was taken to hospital with a head wound following a road rage incident in central Dandenong. A Blue Mazda 6 sedan and a silver 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer collided in the Dandenong Plaza car park, on the north side of the shopping centre near Snap Fitness, about 2.20pm on Saturday 16 August. Both drivers entered Foster Street, then turned into McCrae Street and stopped. A physical altercation took place between them and one was treated at Dandenong Hospital for a head wound. Police urged any witnesses to the collision or altercation to come forward. Phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Fire damages house POLICE are appealing for information about a suspicious house fire in Noble Park. The blaze broke out about 5.30pm on Monday 18 August at the home in Heatherton Road, Noble Park. The house suffered extensive damage. No one was home at the time.
Shot hits laptop car TWO people sitting in their parked car on Cleeland Street, Dandenong, have claimed they were victims of a drive-by shooting. Detective Senior Constable Kane Taylor of Greater Dandenong CIU said the pair had been playing on a laptop using a nearby home’s WiFi connection when their car’s driver-side rear-quarter panel was shot about 10pm on 27 July. He said a firearm had been allegedly discharged from a passing car.

Settlers struggle through WHAT’S IN A NAME DELVES INTO THE FASCINATING STORIES AND PERSONALITIES BEHIND SOME OF THE CITY’S BEST KNOWN STREET NAMES. THIS WEEK THE JOURNAL LOOKS AT CORRIGAN ROAD, KEYSBOROUGH, WHICH WAS NAMED AFTER PIONEERING COUPLE THOMAS AND MARY CORRIGAN. THOMAS Corrigan was a sergeant of police in the Royal Irish Constabulary, Dublin, before he and his wife Mary packed up their six children in 1848 and set sail aboard the Nelson for Australia. During the 128 day journey, Mary Corrigan gave birth to another child, James. Tragically the family also lost a daughter, Bella, who died during the voyage. The family joined the gold rush, heading for Ballarat to dig for gold in
1851. After a year the Corrigans returned to Melbourne. Legend has it that in order to ward off bushrangers Thomas tipped the family’s drays up, back to back, and kept guard all night with a doublebarrel shotgun. Using proceeds from their success foraging for gold, the Corrigans bought land in Keysborough sight-unseen for £1 per acre. The only other people in the area at the time was the family of George

Keys, after whom the suburb would later be named. They earned money carting stores by bullock dray from Melbourne to the Mt Alexander and Buckland goldfields. The eldest son William Corrigan married Sarah Earber whose family was from county Monaghan, Ireland. The couple inherited the family property and raised their five children, Sarah, William Leamon, Robert, Mary and Letitia there. Around 1896 William Leamon, ac-

Picture: The Dandenong and District Historical Society companied by Jack and George Keys, headed to Fremantle, Western Australia. They bought horses, carts, stores and a condenser to distill water before setting out for the gold fields of Kal-

what was to be a normal work day but for the deluge of water that swamped certain sections of our building when the sprinkler system accidentally triggered. The company’s emergency plans went into play with the orderly evacuation of staff as Country Fire Brigade units stepped in to access the situation, shutting off the sprinklers, once a false alarm status had been confirmed. As we returned to normal, staff from all areas - production, advertising, editorial, classifieds, administration, and accounts - donned gumboots and armed with mops provided by the CFA, helped brigade members with the clean–up.
fatal car crashes. New figures released the Transport Accident Commission show almost 4 per cent of serious accidents in Victoria last year happened in the Dandenong area. Eight people died on our roads last year, placing Dandenong behind inner-city Melbourne and Casey as the most dangerous areas to drive in. There were also more than 240 crashes causing serious injury. Most of the accidents in the area also happened between 4-6pm and 8-10pm. “This is a wakeup call to Dandenong drivers to be cautious at night” the senior manager for road safety Mr Healy said. The news comes as the suburb of Dandenong hit Victoria’s top 10 for the number of drink-drivers nabbed in the past year. - Compiled by the Dandenong and District Historical Society
LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 27 August 1914 The War-Patriotic News THE Patriotic meeting at Dandenong on Friday was not so well attended as it should have been, and the Chairman could not refrain from saying so. The meagre attendance evidently accounted for the small amount of enthusiasm produced on the occasion. Residents apparently don’t realise the seriousness of the European crises, and the natural consequences to Australia that would follow upon success if obtained by Germany. Cr. Harris and his colleagues upon the platform submitted resolutions in connection with the initiation of a Patriotic Fund to which the townspeople can now subscribe. Mr. Jeffry Macpherson’s speech was, however, something like one would expect, and set those pres-
ent thinking of what they could do to assist the movement, in fact made all realise that something was expected of them. The committee elected is a representative of the whole shire, and it is to be hoped that a substantial sum will be collected promptly in order to enable the ladies to make necessary clothing for the troops leaving Australia for the seat of War. 50 years ago 26 August 1964 Beware of the Lingerie Bandit Dandenong as well as Springvale now has a lingerie bandit operating at night. Det. Reg. Starr, of Dandenong C.I.B. who has been investigating thefts of underwear of women and girls from clotheslines in Springvale, switched his inquires to a new area this week. A housewife reported to the police on Saturday night a thief raided
a rotary clothes line in a yard behind a block of flats in Clow Street, Dandenong. He stole black brassieres and other feminine undergarments valued at £3/10/-. Other articles of clothing on the same line were not disturbed. This report was followed closely by another from a young single woman who has a flat in Clow Street. She told police that six sets of feminine underwear were stolen from a clothesline behind the block of flats. 20 years ago 29 August 1994 Team effort saves day When it comes to team spirit, you couldn’t get a finer group of people than our very own at ‘The Journal’ - and we don’t mind letting our readers know about it.

Dead sheep could be chased in court By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council has not decided whether to recover legal costs from Springvale’s Vu Ho, whose sheep Baa died at home earlier this month. Mr Ho had been in a long legal stoush against the council to keep Baa in his suburban back yard. His arguments were rebuffed by the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the High Court, but Mr Ho still refused to move Baa from home. She remained there up to the ripe age of 17 before her demise on 15 August. A few days before, Mr Ho believes Baa bid him a final farewell. “Before she was paralysed, she came around and stared at me. I got her food but she refused to eat anything and walked away. “Then she came back and stared at me again. She didn’t say anything. “I think she knew she was dying and came to look at me. Three days later she died. “I sense the animal dying of natural causes at the same time realises my love for them. Maybe they did not realise it before.” Mr Ho said his sheep died “peacefully” at home while he was changing her sesame paste dressing. Over the past month Mr Ho had been using sesame paste to draw toxins out of a large inoperable tumour that had been growing on Baa’s shoulder. Last year she had her right ear amputated because of a skin cancer
and had another tumour removed in March. “Death came slowly. I could not stop the dying process,” Mr Ho said. After the legal battles, the council had recently written to Mr Ho several times requesting a meeting to “find an agreed position between us on where or how Baa can be kept”. It had also wanted to discuss the council’s legal costs awarded against Mr Ho for his unsuccessful legal actions. In return, Mr Ho refused to meet, demanding the council show proof that it tried to evict Baa from his yard due to a private complaint. City planning, design and amenity director Jody Bosman said: “The matter of legal fee recovery is one for (the) council to consider and no decisions have been taken by (the) council at this stage.” Mr Ho, an unemployed mechanic, said “he didn’t care” if the council pursued him for costs. “They have nothing to seize. I sold my house to my children last year. I don’t have any money at all.” In response to criticisms that ratepayers were forced to foot the bill, he said he pursued the cases in the “community interest”. Baa’s body was cremated on Friday. Mr Ho believes Baa’s astral body may still be “walking around” the property. “I don’t think I’ll have another sheep. I’ll be very busy.”

THE children’s story of the Little Engine That Could, and in the story it does. The adult version might be The Big Government That Can Not and Does Not or Will Not. Unfortunately, for many of us there is nothing very intelligent or ethical in the way Mr Abbott, Mr Hockey and company are conducting themselves. In the domestic political sense, there has not been one positive policy. Plenty of policies, which penalise us eg pensioners, students, the disabled and the unemployed. If Mr Hockey was to have his way, to be unemployed would al-
most be a criminal offence, no matter the reason. The purpose seems to be division ie “haves” against “have nots”. Added to this is the most punitive, inept and plain immoral budget in living memory which, if implemented, will make life a misery for many. One can hope this government will start to act as a government and govern for all. Not continue to be the careless, idealess, leaderless rabble they currently are. If not, come 2016 or earlier, their turn will come and they will be delt with, and deservedly so. This remains to be seen. It is up to them to try to act as human begins. Geoff Cain, Endeavour Hills.
To St Mary’s Cricket Club for running a Multicultural Community Cricket Day, which attracted over 100 people attending the day and 31 junior registrations!
Thumbs down To the lack of parking around the new shire offices and library in Dandenong. Very frustrating.
Thumbs up To all the sustainability initiatives the Dandy council are implementing and promoting in our City mag-
azine! Kudos to you, fellas.
Thumbs up To the Lyndale Football Club canteen ladies for their roast beef rolls, as featured in the Pakenham Gazette’s What’s Cooking column this month.
Thumbs down To those idiots that all line up to steal parks on level three near Woolworths in the Plaza. It’s not that hard to drive up a level or two where there are plenty of carparks - are you that lazy to walk? Very frustrating as it holds up other traffic trying to exit.
Roadwork network HOW many Noble Park residents have noticed that our streets are blocked with ‘roadworks’ of late? Trying to drive along Buckley and surrounding streets this week has been a nightmare due to work being done by the National Broadband crew. But it is the multitude of roadworks signs at building sites that is clogging up our streets. Every building site seems to have ‘roadworks’ signs to enable the builders to park where they want! They are not doing any works on the actual road so how can they be allowed to put up roadworks signs? Buckley Street has been closed to through traffic between Douglas and Noble streets on and off for weeks due to a massive mul-
tistorey building, yet there are no ‘roadworks’ in sight! Drive down Corrigan Road and you will be met with ‘40’ speed limit signs because someone is fixing up a place... not doing roadworks! Drive down Leonard Avenue and witches’ hats are covering a percentage of the road because the builder of town houses put them out. This is in a school zone and the builder’s tradies line the street both sides and leave a single lane for peak school traffic to navigate. As a ratepayer of the Greater City of Dandenong, I think it is time our useless council actually put our rates to use, instead of numerous trips to China, by sending out their by-laws officers to stop these builders from blocking our streets Joanne McKenzie, Noble Park.
SOCIALLY SPEAKING RE: Big V Golden Touch For Keysborough Cougars’ Jamal Talo SO proud of Craig Smethurst, after playing for so many years then to turn to coaching and having such a great season.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says new migrants should join “Team Australia”. What do you think of his comments? Bell: I’ve lived here for 60 · Fred years and I don’t want to be part of his “Team Australia” - why should any new migrant want to be part of his bigoted, racist and misogynist group?
A big thanks to a great bunch of guys for having the belief in what he wanted from them big. Big well done to all. Dad. Derek Smethurst, via web.

What is the point of a migrant coming to Australia to start a new life away from the customs that cause civil war, discrimination and persecution in their homelands, yet they bring these same customs with them to Australia?

Son stole parents’ cash Traders By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN pleaded guilty to 20 charges, including using forged cheques to steal nearly $4000 from his parents’ account, at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday. Police prosecutor First Constable Amitoj Singh told the court that Robert Phillip Kardum - a 24-year-old father of three - had cashed $3970 at a Fountain Gate bank branch using four stolen cheques between 30 May and 3 June. The cheque book had been locked in a filing cabinet in his parents’ Noble Park home.
First Const Singh said Kardum’s mother reported the matter to police, naming her son as a suspect. Her suspicions were confirmed by several text messages from Kardum stating he’d stolen and cashed the cheques. First Const Singh said the parents’ bank had refunded the stolen money to the victims. In committing the offence, Kardum breached a community corrections order for three separate driving-whilesuspended offences in 2012. Earlier this year he had also been fined $1500 over theft and three
driving-while-suspended charges that pre-dated the CCO. Last week Kardum also pleaded guilty to driving while suspended, carrying two controlled weapons – a serrated kitchen knife and a butterfly knife – and attempting to traffic methamphetamine in Dandenong in September 2012. Police had found 0.1 grams of methamphetamine in a sealed plastic bag in Kardum’s car. Kardum told police he intended to sell it for $100. Kardum’s lawyer said his client had not received rehabilitation for his drug problems but was “willing and able” to undergo counselling as part of a var-
ied community corrections order. Magistrate Gerard Bryant offered Kardum a community-corrections order served at the live-in Wulgunggo Ngalu Learning Place in Gippsland, which tackles indigenous men’s “entrenched drug abuse and criminal behaviour”. Mr Bryant said Kardum faced a jail term if he didn’t successfully complete the program. If successful, Kardum would face a non-custodial sentence. “It’s not necessarily a cure-all for all the issues that you might face. Hopefully, you can remain drug-free, especially as a parent of three kids.”
Passenger critical after traffic light smash TWO men were seriously injured in a car crash on the Princes Highway at Dandenong. A police spokeswoman said a Mitsubishi sedan travelling towards Dandenong crashed into a traffic light near the Fifth Avenue intersection shortly before 11pm on Monday 18 August. The passenger, a 20-year-old Dandenong man, was taken to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition. As of last Thursday, he remained in a critical but stable condition. The 30-year-old driver from Noble Park was taken to The Alfred in a serious state and was later discharged. The police’s Major Collision Investigation Unit has been investigating the crash.

REGULAR Dandenong Market audits have failed to find evidence of illegal products for sale. The City of Greater Dandenong recently received a letter from a concerned market shopper stating that retailers were selling illegal products. The council advised the writer to contact the market, but market general manager Jennifer Hibbs said they had not done so. “We have not had any follow up contact from the individual who made this claim,” she said. “If they were to contact us and provide supporting evidence to substantiate their allegation this would, of course, warrant further investigations.” Ms Hibbs said traders were all individual businesses so the market had limited control over what they sold. “We regularly undertake audits of market stalls, the last has just been completed, and those investigations have not revealed anything to support the allegations made to council,” she said.
Car drugs intercept DANDENONG Tasking Unit uncovered $16,000 worth of drugs after intercepting a car on Stud Road, Dandenong, about 6am on 15 August. The haul included about 20 grams of heroin and 10 grams of methylamphetamine. They charged the driver, a 20-yearold Fitzroy man, with drug trafficking and possession and seized $25,000 in cash as proceeds of crime during a later search of his home.

Crackdown on motorbikes By CASEY NEILL MOTORCYCLE crashes are behind a new police operation targeting riders. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said his officers would pull over “just about every motorbike they see” during the next few months. “There’s been an unfortunate increase in accidents involving motorbike riders,” he said. “Every time a motorbike rider comes off his bike there’s an injury, and more often than
not it’s classified as a serious injury. “We’ve decided to do something about it.” Officers will check whether bikes are roadworthy and warn riders about lane-splitting, riding up service lanes and taking unnecessary risks. “Some of them behave outrageously,” Sen Sgt Roberts said. “I’m a motorbike rider myself but I don’t take those sorts of risks. “I saw a learner in the rain scream up behind me and overtake me.
“I just wonder how much longer he’s going to last.” He said police were targeting spring because of the warmer weather and October’s Moto GP. “Motorbikes get put away over the winter months. Riders dust them off and get out in the nicer weather,” he said. “Sometimes they haven’t ridden for a while so they’re a bit rusty with their skills, or they haven’t checked the bike out. “We just want to minimise the trauma.”

FOR the next two years, Cadmiel ‘Tibby’ Duscas is under a court order to drive home a road-safety campaign to school students. Not that the 24-year-old Noble Park man is complaining. He realised he was fortunate not to be in jail after nearly killing himself, his younger brother and sister, and two friends in a terrifying drink-and-drug-driving crash on Pound Road, Narre Warren South, early on 20 May 2012. On Tuesday last week Dandenong Magistrates’ Court judge Greg Connellan imposed a 18-month jail term suspended for two years. He also placed Duscas on a good-behaviour bond requiring the accused to submit eightmonth progress reports on spreading the road safety message to Victorian schools and on social media for the next two years. In October Mr Connellan stripped away Duscas’s driving licence for four years – double the minimum mandatory sentence – for driving under the influence and negligently causing serious injury to his four passengers. “I don’t blame him for making an example of me,” Duscas said last week. He plans to visit his former

something. The positive thing is I’ve since become a good public speaker, that I’ve got this experience to share to other people.” His lawyer Michael Kuzilny told the Journal that a jail term wasn’t always a good thing for young people. “They often come out worse. “You have to remember sometimes young people make mistakes. “I think it was a good outcome.”

Heatherhill students Kim Vi, Abishah, Jaskeerat, Julie, Anshumann and Zhalya with the Picture: GARY SISSONS possum cloak. 126002
Cloaked choir By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A HEATHERHILL Primary School choir of 40 shared the story of its revered possum cloak in a song in front of a 2500-strong concert crowd in Melbourne’s iconic Hamer Hall on Saturday. The choir was part of a Boite Millennium Chorus concert of 390 indigenous, Anglo and multicultural singers which included Archie Roach and Shane Howard. The warm possum cloak has been a part of the school’s folklore since its New Zealand-sourced pelts were sewn and illustrated by students three years ago. The cloak - complete with tails, claws and vacant eye sockets is displayed prominently in the school office foyer and its creation story has been the subject of a limited edition book. Heatherhill principal Mary Verwey said the cloak - and the tribute song - was an enduring symbol for the school.
“
WE BURNT IT ON THE POSSUM CLOAK. IT’S ETCHED THERE FOR ALL TIME. THE STORY ON THE POSSUM CLOAK. IS OURS, IT’S YOURS, AND WE’RE WRAPPED IN ITS WARMTH, STRONG AND FINE.”
“We’re a very multicultural school. The idea behind the cloak was bringing together people from all over the world at Heatherhill.” Boite chorus directors Jane Thompson and James Rigby, who visited the school last year, wrote the song and lyrics reflecting the symbols engraved into the cloak’s lining. At the top, Bunjil the eagle watches over mountains, dragons, turtles, a Sudanese shield, a cricket, spider, rooster, Buddha and a father-and-son fishing in
Port Phillip - all symbols of families and cultures etched by students and indigenous artist Maree Clark. One illustration of three trees and a cross symbolise a student’s father and sister “buried before we came here”. “The warm protective cloak wraps all the stories together,” Thompson said. Many students who created the cloak have graduated, yet their successors still speak proudly of its “power” and the histories and cultures enwrapped under its fur.

Path on the right track The voice of the community since 1865 Incorporating Star Greater Dandenong
By CASEY NEILL A FOOTPATH to allow Keysborough students a safe walk to school could still be three years away. But a temporary solution for Mt Hira College is now on the cards. City of Greater Dandenong started building a footpath on Perry Road between Greens Road and Parkmore Shopping Centre on 5 August, which is due to be completed by the end of October. But it will not continue over

Greens Road to Mt Hira College, to principal Patricia Gay’s frustration. “More and more of our families are living in the new housing development and many could walk to school but don’t because it is not safe,” she said. “It is really not a very long stretch. “I’m terrified because of all the cars and trucks flying up Perry Road. “There’s such a problem with
obesity at the moment and unfit kids. “They only live 500 metres up the road but they can’t walk to school because there’s no footpath.” Ms Gay met with City of Greater Dandenong planners last week. “They say they can’t construct a permanent footpath until the road has been re-built and this could take one to three years,” she said. “But I have asked about a more temporary one and they are going to
cost it and let us know.” The council’s acting engineering services director Oliver Vido said he was working with the school towards a short term solution. He said the council had investigated constructing the shared path between Greens Road and Mt Hira College before the road works were carried out. “This was not considered feasible as it would need to be replaced once Perry Road is reconstructed,” he said.

DANDENONG’S oldest bowls and croquet clubs are uniting to bolster their flagging memberships in a joint “multicultural” open night next month. Dandenong City Bowling Club and Dandenong Croquet Club, each with loyal, ageing and mono-cultural memberships of less than 20, are neighbour tenants in Dandenong Park. Both told the Journal last month that they were seeking new blood from Dandenong’s diverse demographic to sustain their long-term futures. Bowls club president Greg Payne said his club was fighting to survive beyond next season. “We hope this will turn things around. We need to try anything possible for both clubs’ sakes.” The 132-year-old club, which is among the state’s oldest 10 clubs operating at their original sites, has been blighted by a similarly-aged Algerian
oak that has leached its grass greens in the summer. The club has lobbied The City of Greater Dandenong for an artificial green. The council has stated it would contribute half the green’s cost of between $250,000 and $400,000, but the club cannot afford the other half. “We need a new green and more members to make sure the club will be in existence next year,” Mr Payne said. The open night was “inclusive” and gave people a chance to try both sports, he said. The clubs will open their greens to all-comers from 5-9pm on 8 September. Entry is $10 including a barbecue and coaching. Any Greater Dandenongbased bands are also invited to entertain at the event. Contact Greg Payne on 9705 0583 for more details.

SUSTAINABILITY, RECYCLING AND ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Ring in, it’s time for recycling “IT PAYS to recycle,” according to Mazuma Mobile Australia managing director Aid Rawlins. “Many businesses and people of Australia don’t know they can get cash for their old unwanted mobile phones. “Mazuma has the proven credibility and pedigree to put unwanted working and faulty mobile phones to good use as mobile phones by paying people well to recycle their old phone at www. mazumamobile.com.au,” he said. “Mazuma Mobile do good things with old mobile phones and have been globally recognised for it around the
world in prestigious awards such as Sustania 2013. We know life can be tricky so we’ve made the whole deal quick, simple and hassle free. “We pay cash for unwanted, unloved, new, used, working and faulty mobile phones to be recycled, refurbished and reused in Australia and around the world as mobile phones. “This is good for everyone.” Aid said what makes Mazuma different is that it pays people to recycle. “Mazuma Mobile founded the Mobile Phone ReUse sector and continues to maintain the highest environmental
standards and the best service. “To us it’s easy as we care about what we do and enjoy doing it,” he said. “We pay for handsets that can be reused, sometimes just a little sometimes quite a lot but the value is always guaranteed and paid within 24 hours of receiving the phone. “Sadly some handsets cannot be reused and so we send those to Mobile Muster here in Australia to be broken up and the materials recycled.” Mazuma has been operating for eight years in the UK and just over four in Mulgrave to service all of Australia.
“In the past four years we have paid out around $16 million to Australians and see that amount accelerating as more and more people realise they can get cash for their unwanted mobile phones and the good that is done with them such as reducing the need to manufacture more and more handsets and deplete resources around the world,” he said. Customers can place a sell order from the comfort of their own home or mobile phone. Phone 1300 457 766 Monday to Friday or visit www.mazumamobile.com.au 24/7.

METRO Solar Pty Ltd prides itself in installing residential systems from $2 per day as well as installing solar for businesses. “Our focus is bringing smart, safe and reliable solar technology to consumers both residentially and commercially,” chief executive officer Anthony O’Connell said. “We offer Solar PV installations both residentially and commercially and we can also offer great financing options where you are in front from day one. “We are a local company in Lynbrook, specialising in the latest solar technology. “We have fully qualified staff completing installations and are a national organisation.” The family owned business only installs AC Solar systems
- microinverters and offers financing solutions with up to 10 years finance. Anthony said now was a good time to get solar because the government would soon announce the removal of the RET, meaning consumers and businesses would incur a higher
cost for solar. The business is well-known in the area - operating for the past five years from Lynbrook and prior to that Hallam. Anthony has been in the solar business for the past five years and has had 12 years’ experience in electrical contracting. “The majority of the staff, up to 90 per cent, are locals and we employ qualified electricians and engineers in electrical and software,” he said. “Nationally we employ 50 staff.” Situated at 6/550 South Gippsland Highway, Lynbrook, Metro Solar is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday from 9am to noon.

LIMITED TIME ONLY!
COVER STORY
MORE VALUE FOR LESS AT BOTANIC RIDGE PROSPECTIVE purchasers at Casey’s most exclusive address, Botanic Ridge Estate, can now enjoy more value for less thanks to an exclusive double promotion across its two new land releases. For a limited time only, the estate is offering a $10,000 bonus across all lots in stage 19 in the form of a $7,000 discount off the list price and a further $3,000 landscaping rebate, delivering even more value across these larger-than-average allotments in what is Casey’s fastest growing suburb. With prices starting from just $220,000 for a 544 square metre block, Botanic Ridge’s $10,000 bonus offer means purchasers can secure one of the few remaining blocks in this popular lifestyle development, for less. Botanic Ridge has also announced a separate promotion across all available lots in stage 20, in the form of a free 12-month Settlers Run Golf and Country Club membership when they purchase before the end of September. Valued at $2,570*, the membership provides recipients with full access to exclusive country club facilities such as the fully-equipped gym, pool, Vue restaurant and Greg-Norman designed 18-hole golf course. Botanic Ridge Estate development manager, Joe Cassera said the estate’s limited offers provided another value-add in what is widely considered the most ‘bulletproof’ suburb in Melbourne’s thriving south east. “As a development that’s now five years young with 700 homes now complete, purchasers have the unique advantage of buying into an established community that boasts a real sense of place. “And now for a limited time purchasers can enjoy even more benefits when they select their block of land thanks to our
exclusive promotions for a limited time. “Not only is Botanic Ridge over 80 per cent sold out, but the remaining blocks represent the last of the region’s ‘big’ lots as sizes continue to shrink across the south east. “This really is a unique opportunity and one that won’t last long,” he said. Thanks to its abundance of open space
and master-crafted parklands, coupled with its selection of rare larger-thanaverage blocks, Botanic Ridge Estate has become a popular choice for families seeking to build their forever home since the suburb was first established some five years ago. This commitment to lifestyle and quality design has benefited purchasers in
more ways than one, with RP Data recently recording a 15.4 percent rise in the suburb’s median house price over the last 12 months. For more information on Botanic Ridge Estate contact Heather Noom in the sales office on 9785 9339 or head to http:// www.botanicridge.com.au/ *Conditions apply

HOUSE WIN $4000 TOWARDS YOUR BILLS
In what signifies a new era for the former Pakenham Racecourse, works have officially commenced at ‘Ascot’, the ISPT-developed residential community that is set to breathe new life into the historic Pakenham site. Since launching to the public earlier this year, over 75 per cent of the first release has sold and the estate’s first roadways linking the development to the existing town centre are now underway. Construction across both stages one and two is currently underway, with the estate’s first purchasers likely to settle on their blocks in September and the first stage of a major roadway connecting the site with the existing town centre set to reach completion just a few weeks later. ISPT Chief Executive Officer, Daryl Browning, said the project presented a unique opportunity for local purchasers to move into an established area with direct access to existing amenity and infrastructure. “Most new developments are located in areas of Melbourne where the delivery of infrastructure may be years away. “The benefit of this project is its unique position located at the heart of an existing township. “This means residents will have access to an array of schools, shopping facilities, transport and medical services from the day they move in. “We are currently building a roadway that will link the Ascot community directly into the town centre, meaning that once complete Ascot will become a natural extension of the existing town. “The project will also pay homage to the
site’s unique heritage by either retaining or replicating elements of the site’s racing history and incorporating them into some of the parks,” he said. Once complete the 500-plus lot community will include an innovative mix of traditional and townhouse-style homes as well as an abundance of public parks, quality streetscapes and striking architectural form throughout the project. The existing Pakenham Creek bed will be regenerated and developed as a key feature of the master plan and will provide a number of opportunities for high quality creek-front and park-front homes. Elsewhere, integrated wetland bodies will capture and treat stormwater run-off before releasing any overflow back into nearby water catchments, while a central town park will sit nearby to a proposed retail activity centre to create a cohesive neighbourhood ‘hub’ within the master plan. ISPT is one of Australia’s largest unlisted property fund managers, with over $9.7 billion of funds under management through investments in office, retail, industrial and residential properties on behalf of its 36 superannuation funds and like-minded investors. Today, more than 50 per cent of Australian workers have their retirement savings invested in property through ISPT. Visit www.ascot.com.au for more information or head to the sales office located at Pakenham Racecourse, 61 Racecourse Road, Pakenham (under the grandstand). Open Saturday to Wednesday from 11am-6pm, phone 9684 8143.

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
NEW DISPLAY VILLAGE BOOST With the turn of a key, Mayor Murray Cook fired up an industrial excavator and went to work breaking ground on the new Waterford Rise Display Village on Tuesday, formally launching a project that will bolster the Warragul economy and provide a valuable local resource for home buyers. With an end value of approximately $13 million, the display village’s 12-month civil and residential construction schedule represents a substantial injection of capital into the local Warragul community, providing a boost for local construction businesses and associated industries. Mr Glenn Sanford, Waterford Rise general manager, said early construction works had now begun on the new display village, which would showcase all the latest trends in construction and interior design for home buyers seeking cutting-edge new ideas and inspiration for their homes. “The new display village, which will be one of the largest in regional Victoria, will feature 21 display homes from more than 10 local and national builders,” Mr Sanford said. “This will ensure a wide range of choice and provide an opportunity to see and touch all the finishes, fixtures and fittings available to help home buyers create their dream home.” “Importantly, at least 90 per cent of the new display sites will be occupied by builders with a presence in the development’s original display village. “We see this as a significant vote of confidence in the future of Warragul’s premier master-planned community,” Mr Sanford said. The new display village, expected to open to the public by September 2015, will sit in a prime position on elevated land overlooking the newly named “Penaluna Park,” a tranquil outdoor public resource incorporating the first-stage wetlands
established in 2011, native vegetation reserves and extensive walking tracks. It will also encompass the many features Waterford Rise offers, including fully benched, leveled and fenced lots, ultra-fast fibre-optic broadband, spectacular views and meticulously landscaped open-space, wetlands and parkland. Waterford Rise will be home to approximately 4000-5000 people when
fully completed and will feature extensive natural wetlands and parkland, a proposed neighbourhood shopping centre, as well as the thriving Waterford Rise Early Learning Centre, which opened in January 2014. The development’s latest land releases include the highly anticipated The Rise Release (stage seven) featuring six remaining parcels of land along the crest of Crole Drive ranging from 674 square metres to 733 square metres, with
prices starting from $159,000. Stage 40, released last month, features seven remaining blocks from 582 square metres to 867 square metres, with prices starting from only $139,000. You can still visit the existing Waterford Rise Display Village at Silverwood Drive, Warragul, or for further information go to www.waterfordrise.com.au or call estate manager Ann-Maree Mailer on 1300 737 094.

ARTIST’S IMPRESSION.
UNCOMPLICATED LIFESTYLE PROSPECT Way, Officer in the beautiful Timbertop Estate has everything you might need for a relaxed, uncomplicated lifestyle. With 18 units up for sale, including five overlooking the beautiful ornamental lake and all close to parks, this is something special from the Premier Builders Group. The units are all three bedrooms and double garage and at 400 square metres, are bigger than what you would normally expect, giving plenty of room for living without a lot of ground maintanence. Close to the planned shopping centre, medical centre and fitness centre for your convenience the units are in the impressive Timbertop Estate - considered one of the best in the South Eastern growth corridor. There are nearby schools and it is zoned for Berwick High School. The units enjoy spectacular views and are
close to the future cafe by the lake and the proposed Lakeside restaurant and just five minutes’ walk from the local winery (all downhill coming home). In fact one of Timbertop’s best-kept secrets is its views. The stunning views extend over Officer, across the Mountain Ash forested foothill ranges and stretching out to Western Port Bay. The units, which include individual facades, will be offered as a full turnkey pack which means although they are brand-new it will be just like moving into an established house with quartz stone benchtops, dishwasher, remote garage, full landscaping, fencing, driveways and paths. There will be no progress payments and fixed price contracts with a low deposit and units are priced from $390,000. If you can imagine yourself going for walks in the parks and then sipping a coffee by the lake, phone Garry Doleschal 0418 990 379 for further information.

NEW HOMES & LAND
A GRANT FOR ALL HOME BUYERS For a limited time, Dennis Family Homes is offering an exclusive home buyers grant of up to $15,000 to all its new customers. “Everyone is familiar with the concept of grants for first home buyers, but we’ve taken a step further with our latest initiative,” says Dennis Family Homes General Manager, Darren Mehl. “Recognising that buying a new home is a major undertaking for anyone, we have decided to make the grant available to all our customers during the qualifying period. Therefore, they don’t have to be
purchasing their first home to capitalise on the savings we are offering through our grant,” he explains. Valid until 30 September, the home buyer grant from Dennis Family Homes provides a welcome bonus of up to $15,000 towards each customer’s build cost and a further five per cent off the upgrades of their choice. The grant is applicable to every home design in both the Inspirations Series and Aspirations Series product ranges and the amount of the grant varies according to
the cost of the home selected by the customer, up to a maximum of $15,000. The full overall saving equates to a reduction of five per cent off the contract value of the home. To qualify, customers must pay the deposit on their new home prior to the deadline of 30 September 2014. Dennis Family Homes has a wide range of optional luxury upgrade items available at additional cost, all of which are eligible for a price reduction of five per cent under the current offer.
“We understand that every family is different and the home should reflect their own unique style and way of life. “Our luxury upgrade choices cover all areas of the home and allow our customers to tailor the finishing touches to their own individual preferences,” Mr Mehl adds. More information on the exclusive Home Buyer Grant offer is available from all Dennis Family Homes display centres, online at www.dennisfamily.com.au or by phoning 1800 DENNIS.
LUXURY IS STANDARD Architecturally inspired quality homes, from 25 to 50 squares.

GOOD NEWS FOR INVESTORS ENZO RAIMONDO
CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria
The 2013-’14 financial year brought good news for investors across regional Victoria. In July there was a fall in the regional Victorian rental vacancy rate from 2.5 per cent to 2.4 per cent, directly countering the trend in metropolitan Melbourne where the rate increased by 0.1 to 2.9 per cent after months of stability. Agents are reporting the return of investors to many regional centres, with purchases for self-managed superannuation funds helping drive the trend. In Ballarat the rental vacancy rate fell from 2.5 per cent in June to 2.4 per cent in July. Bendigo on a
region-wide basis was up slightly 2.4 per cent from 2.3 per cent and in Geelong, which continues to have the highest rental vacancy rate of the regional towns, it was stable at 4.3 per cent. However, REIV’s latest quarterly bedroom median data - that is, broken down according to size and type of property - indicates that over the last quarter of the financial year weekly median rentals in parts of those regional areas showed strong growth. As always, research is vital before buying an investment property and yields can vary considerably according to local demand for particular types of property -
apartments or houses, for example - and location. In the 12 months ending June the median rental for a two-bedroom unit in central Bendigo was $240 a week - up 9.1 per cent on the previous quarter and the top rental growth in regional Victoria. Second for rental growth was a two-bedroom unit in Ballarat North with a median weekly rent of $250, up 6.4 per cent on the previous quarter. Also showing strong growth over the quarter were three-bedroom houses in Traralgon (up six per cent on the previous quarter) and Wodonga (up 5.6 per cent), two-bedroom units in Highton,
Geelong West, Ballarat Central and Echuca and two-bedroom houses in Bendigo. All had median weekly rentals up more than four per cent on the previous quarter. Ballarat featured strongly in the top 10 list for rental yields, with a three-bedroom house in Ballarat Central, Ballarat East and Wendouree all showing yields of between 5.4 and 5.6 per cent for the year ended 30 June. Over regional Victoria as a whole it was one-bedroom units which showed the highest gross rental yield at 5.5 per cent, while four-bedroom houses showed the least but still returned an acceptable 4.4 per cent.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… THIS birthday card, which was presented to the late Journal reporter Marg Stork on her 60th birthday, was unearthed among a box of papers given to the Journal by Marg’s husband Don Davis. Addressed to Syme’s Scott St. Sleuth, the card depicts Marg sitting at her trusty typewriter and is signed by many of those who worked with Marg in 1983. Also found with the card was a ‘memo’ written by then group editor John Woods directing all staff to attend a conference on the “future of the East Group operation of Syme Community Newspapers” on Tues-
day 24 May 1983. The memo was a ruse to lure Marg to a surprise party to celebrate her milestone birthday. A MAN who laughed during a police interview after ramraiding a store in a stolen car and being tailed by a police pursuit had to eat some humble pie in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last week. The man’s lawyer tried hard to convince the magistrate how sorry his client was. The magistrate decided to test the man’s sincerity, asking him if he truly cared for the $30,000-plus damage to the store as well as the
stolen car. The man said he felt “pretty bad at the moment”.
tice. And she ended up dobbing him into Centrelink anyway.
SOME weeks ago, we mentioned a local who had been fleeced by a conman purporting to sell cheap Galaxy phones. Pleased to say she’s got her money back - only after threatening the man to dob him into Centrelink for falsifying his income. With the help of spying on Facebook, she found many other victims who’d lost in total “thousands of dollars”. “It was a matter of principle,” she said of her dogged pursuit for jus-
A DANDENONG mother carried her sobbing toddler into Dandenong Police Station last week for a lesson the child won’t soon forget. The flustered mum approached a paramedic as he was leaving the foyer, and asked him to issue a stern warning about seatbelt safety. She explained that her daughter had been ignoring her pleas to buckle up and at her wits’ end she’d turned to the experts. We think Super Nanny would be proud.
FATHER’S DAY
Appreciate your dad and a conversation with. The day can be used by the family to show how much they care and how much they appreciate his company. A simple and effective gesture is organising a day out to a favourite place or a surprise mystery day-trip. Or, perhaps, dad would prefer a night in with some classic movies and plenty of snacks on hand. Whether the day consists of a lavish all-expenses-paid experience on the town, a trip to the Yarra Valley to visit wineries or a cosy night in with the family, Father’s Day is the perfect time to tell dad ‘thank you’.

The day is an opportunity to pay tribute to fathers who go the extra mile - from taking kids to sport practices or friends’ houses – or who are simply there to enjoy dinner

Dead reckoning Picture: GARY SISSONS
Cafe’s taste of freedom among the lucky former camp residents who have been resettled, swept up in a mass refugee intake into Australia. With the help of charity Urban Neighbours of Hope, they set up Free Burma Cafe - which the pair now independently run and own. “It’s like a dream,” Mr Mai said of the past horrors as he stands in his cafe’s curry-wafting kitchen. “I think about it like yesterday,” his wife adds. In the dining area hangs a portrait of democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi who leads a pro-democracy movement in their homeland. Ms Mar said she’s happy to be in Springvale, though it took time to get used to using gas and electricity. “This country is a good future for me and my children. “I’m thinking I never had opportunities like this before. Life is so good.”
Finding words speaks volumes By CASEY NEILL A NEW art project has helped refugees and asylum seekers find a voice in Greater Dandenong. ‘There are no words/under construction’ is appearing on the Dandenong civic square big screen until 31 August. The ongoing project is a collaboration between artists Michelle Hamer and Cat Wilson who worked with Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre clients to create this latest instalment. They used time-lapse photography to capture handstitched artworks featuring text. “The text is all ‘found’ text that I have collected from subject lines, sticky notes, email and text and verbal exchanges over the last few years,” Ms Hamer said. “It is language that is a part of my own life and is allowed
Collected text snippets come together as art. to take on different meanings when others interact with it.” The team behind City of Greater Dandenong textiles celebration Cultural Threads approached Ms Hamer and Ms Wilson with the project after seeing videos they made for Melbourne Now at the National Gallery of Victoria earlier this year. “Being interested in lan-
guage and the way it is used meant that engaging with a group of people where their English language skills varied was an exciting challenge,” Ms Hamer said. “People without access to the local language - and refugees with uncertain status even more so - risk having no voice which added an extra dimension to the project.” She said the women involved were “extremely poetic” with the stitched flash-cards, like “Hello; May be; See me; I’ve got diamonds in my eyes” and “There is growth in life; Always”. “The photostrip sequences they formed are so powerful. Strong, fun and emotive,” Ms Hamer said. The artworks are part of a larger exhibition that will launch at Ararat Regional Gallery next year.

MAS Mai often ironically laughs, while his wife Kha Re Mar will shed tears when they recall their escape from Myanmar followed by being locked in a Thai refugee camp for 10 years. Seven years since settling with their four children in Springvale, they still know of family and friends living behind the camp’s fence. They estimate there are about 400,000 refugees in seven such camps in Thailand. Mr Mai described their camp as an unsanitary jail where children languish without education. “It’s hard to survive. Every day you see the same faces. The food and water were not safe. There were diseases like malaria.” Ms Mar said she sends money to her nephew and niece in the camp.
In the past few years, it has been possible to contact them on one of the camp’s four phones. Ms Mar tearfully recalls her terror as she waited for an hour with her sick, thirsty children, aged four and two, at the Thai border gate. For three days they had trekked 45 kilometres without food and water through tropical jungle. They had left behind everything they owned as their town Kyaikdon was obliterated by the Burmese army. As she waited for UN clearance into Thai territory, she could hear nearby gunfire raging behind her. When they crossed the border, they sheltered under makeshift tents made of banana leaves. The seedy banana species became a staple of their diet, along with rice, salt and oil. The Springvale pair are

Deceased estates THE law that applies to the assets and income of a deceased person depends on which state or territory of Australia the deceased person lived in when they died. Information on the Australian Tax Office site explains tax responsibilities only. Those who want to find more information about the inheritance laws that apply in states or territories should contact the Public Trustee Office. Being an executor SOMEONE who has been appointed as an executor or administrator of the estate of a deceased person will be responsible for managing the deceased estate’s tax affairs as well as carrying out (executing) the terms of the deceased person’s will and complying with the relevant inheritance laws, where there is no will. The information applies equally to an administrator. Capital gains tax (CGT) implications WHEN the assets of a deceased estate are distributed, a special rule applies that allows any capital gain or loss made on a CGT asset to be disregarded if the asset passes to the executor, to a beneficiary or from the executor to a beneficiary. However, if an executor sells an asset of the deceased estate and then distributes the proceeds to the beneficiaries, the sale is subject to the normal rules and CGT applies. Superannuation death benefits WHEN a person dies, their superannuation is paid to their beneficiaries, either directly or as part of their estate. Lump sum death benefits paid to dependants are generally tax free. The taxation of lump sum death benefits paid to non-dependants and death benefit income streams depend on a number of factors. Death benefit employment termination payments A DEATH benefit termination payment is an employment termination payment (ETP) made by an employer after the death of an employee. How the payment is taxed depends on whether or not the beneficiary is a dependant of the deceased person, and the total amount of payments received.

Rich life brings success By CASEY NEILL BON Nguyen got the opportunity to build a new life when he fled Vietnam for Australia. He’s determined to open the same doors for the country’s newest arrivals, and is urging others to follow suit to make Australia richer. “I left Vietnam in 1987 at 12 years old, without my parents,” he said. “After three days on a boat I was rescued by one of the French ships. “They were patrolling in the South East Asia sea, specifically rescuing escapees from the communist regime.” Mr Nguyen was among 75 passengers, and they’d run out of food and water. “In the middle of the night we saw spotlights on the surface of the water,” he said.
Bon Nguyen. “They came closer, the light was larger and larger. “All of a sudden, all of the light was turned off. “We were crying out ‘we want
some food, we want some water’. We were devastated.” Then the boat’s captain saw another light in the distance and the vessel approached. “We heard a Vietnamese voice from that big ship,” Mr Nguyen said. “They told us we were rescued. We were told the two other lights were pirates.” The ship transported Mr Nguyen to the Philippines where he lived for three years. His parents and three younger siblings eventually escaped to Malaysia - and beat him to Australia. “They sponsored me to come over,” he laughed. Mr Nguyen and his family now all call Melbourne home and he regularly works in Springvale through his role as Vietnamese Committee in
Australia Victoria Chapter president. “We are very fortunate that Australian people have accepted us into this society,” he said. His dad couldn’t speak English but was offered a job at Cadbury just two weeks after arriving in Australia, where he still works today. “My mum has no English but she worked on a farm picking strawberries,” he said. “After work, she would do sewing. “When you come to a new country you would anticipate that it would be difficult, but there are opportunities if you are lucky to run into a generous person. “That has allowed us to adapt into a new country. “I think newcomers in Australia, that if the opportunity was extended
to them they would be as successful as we are or even more successful.” Mr Nguyen said successful refugees made Australia richer. “We are richer today, so are we not rich at heart?” he said. “They have run away from a dictatorship regime or from a war zone. “We need to allow them a certain amount of time so they can adjust. “We eventually grow out of challenges. “We learn, we know how the way of life in Australia is. “Of course, there will be challenges. We’re not saying it will be easy. “But if we know how to accommodate that, we will turn it into a richer culture in Australia.”
Journeys seen through stars AN ART installation is linking refugee and migrant women in more ways than one. Artist Eddy Carroll facilitated The Night Sky during a residency at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens. She worked with Wellsprings for Women group Creative Connections Through Craft to create a metaphorical constellation, with lines between each star connecting each participants’ journey. “I was interested in how we all tell stories via the night sky,” Ms Carroll said. “It’s the one thing very human has in common.” She asked each person to interpret a star in their own way with their own technique. “They all have varying degrees of English,” she said. “The sky’s a pretty common symbol. “It’s a universal symbol across cultures.” She said they all had varying de-
grees of craft ability - some were just learning, while some were returning to a comfortable memory. “They’re missing their homeland so they want to return to some of the things that would have been part of the social group in their homeland,” she said. “As we had our sessions together, I learned how to communicate with each woman individually and get their story about how they came to Melbourne. “I cut out each star that they sewed and then I made a constellation of stars from each place that they went to.” Many had spent time on Christmas Island and in Sri Lanka on their journey to Australia. “The Tibetans walked from Tibet to Nepal to India,” she said. “Those were the kinds of things were talking about as we were sewing. “I felt validated and strengthened by them and their stories. “I was the one on the receiving end of learning.”
Artist Eddy Carroll with Jumabi and Kyi. 125633 Ms Carroll said the women were also battling bureaucracy. “That took up a lot of their time and our conversation,” she said. “The system has been made difficult for them. They have constant problems with Centrelink. That I felt really frustrated by.” She has travelled extensively for more than 20 years.
“I’d meet Aussies that would go to London or Bangkok and they’d freak out at all the people and go home,” she said. “They’ve got the freedom to be able to get on that plane and go home. “These people don’t. “They’re freaking out, but they don’t have the option to go home.” Ms Carroll said sewing was often feminised and not taken seriously.
Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS “What I realised was how important it was across cultures,” she said. “We were doing the healing in the action of sewing. “We were mending.” The Night Sky is on display at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens, 66 McCrae Street, Dandenong, until 31 August. - CASEY NEILL
Spokes gang get their repaired bikes back in the saddle SPOKES in the Wheel is giving Dandenong’s Sudanese community a new lease on life. Jack Nugent has been involved with the Engineers Without Borders project since it started in 2012. He helps to collect bikes, repair them, and distribute them to children alongside a road safety message. “It’s all about long-term sustainable stuff. It’s giving a hand-up, teaching them to help themselves,” he said. Mr Nugent was in his final year of a mechanical engineering degree at Monash University when he signed up. “I was looking for something local to get involved with,” he said. “It tied in with engineering, and I have a strong passion for mountain biking. “It tied all my passions all in one.” Spokes in the Wheel volunteers spend four Saturdays in a row with a group of kids aged six to 12 years old. They teach bike safety around hel-
mets and brakes, and basic bike repair skills. “At the end of the four week session, we give away the bikes,” Mr Nugent said. “Most of the students will receive a bike at the end of those sessions. “We try to keep it under wraps. “But some of them are aware that they’re going to get the bikes, and they eye off the best ones.” He said many participants were from big families, but didn’t have cars. “It can keep them a bit isolated,” he said. “Even getting to school or getting down to Saturday school can be really difficult. “The aim of the project is to, basically, give the Sudanese community access to low-cost sustainable transport. “It means that they can visit their friends more often, or get involved with sports on the weekends, get to and from school more easily.” Mr Nugent said it wasn’t just about seeing the kids have fun.
Spokes in the Wheel volunteers Jack Nugent, Lucie Bright, Claire Lord and Michael Letheby. “It’s also about promoting healthy lated. They tend to stick to living,” he said. “It’s good to see that themselves sometimes.” the kids are really adopting it. Mr Nugent also spends each Sat“They’re out there, they’re engag- urday tutoring in Dandenong with ing with each other and engaging with Spokes in the Wheel’s partner organthe volunteers. isation. “Often the South Sudanese “They might not get that much onecommunity can be a bit iso- on-one attention,” he said.
“English might not be the main language spoken at home. “There’s no targets or goals, it’s just, basically, boosting their confidence and giving them some one-onone attention.” Spokes in the Wheel holds bike drives but always needs more donations. “Each year we work with about 60 to 90 students. We aim to give away about 50 to 60 bicycles each year,” Mr Nugent said. “Not all of the students get one because we don’t have enough bikes coming in. “There’s a lot of old bikes out there sitting around in good condition just not being used. “Kids grow up, bikes sit there. “We’re trying to find those bikes and get them back into circulation.” Visit www.ewb.org.au/explore/initiatives/spokes for more information or email spokesinthewheel@gmail.com to donate a bike. - CASEY NEILL

It’s not over until Ryan Goodes sings By JARROD POTTER
A fairy-tale ending for Keysborough captain Ryan Goodes - who took the last touch for the Burra in Casey Cardinia as the siren sounded on a 20-point triumph. 126160
KEYSBOROUGH closed the door on its Casey Cardinia journey in fitting style with a 20-point triumph over Hampton Park. It wasn’t played for a premiership unlike its flags of 1948, 1962, ’64, ’65 and ’76 - but there was a great sense of occasion on Saturday at Rowley Allan Reserve that rivalled a grand final. The Local Footy Show cameras were all focused on Keysborough, recording their last outing as a Casey Cardinia Football League team. A power-packed first term saw Keysborough put an 18-point buffer on the Redbacks as goals came from all the best Burras. Many Burras lined up to kick a farewell goal throughout the afternoon - Davor Rajic, Glenn Humphreys, Tim Werner, Richard Minney and Daniel Morland all jagged two apiece in the battle. Hampton Park never gave in though - fighting back to almost level the scores in the second term - as the

KEYSBOROUGH 6.5 9.7 13.13 18.13 (121) HAMPTON PARK 3.5 7.10 10.14 13.23 (101) Keysborough Goals: T. King 6, D. Morland 2, G. Humphreys 2, D. Rajic 2, T. Werner 2, R. Minney 2, C. Wilkinson, R. Goodes. Best: M. Downie, R. Minney, R. Goodes, G. Humphreys, T. King, D. Rajic.
wooden spoon remained up for grabs by either team. Many spot fires and skirmishes broke out as the passion of 2014’s last game took hold of both sides, but the biggest impact came from the power-
house-forward performance of Tyson King (6 goals) to lead the Burra towards the victory. King’s efforts - including the match-defining pair of goals in the final term to break Hampton Park’s resolve - led the Burra charge along with starring efforts from Michael Downie, Minney and captain Ryan Goodes who was left with a fitting finale. The last kick came from prolific midfielder Daniel Morland and was marked by captain Goodes as the siren went sending joy, elation and most of all - relief - through him and the crowd. “That picture probably says a thousand words and the main one is… ‘relief’,” Goodes said of the moment he was left holding the ball triumphantly in the air. “It’s been a long season since Round 1 when we thought we’d be really competitive - we thought we were a finals’ chance… that was our original goal. “Obviously things didn’t go our way injury wise… it’s been a really
tough season.” Coach Chris Bryan said the Burra had gained momentum heading into the last few rounds and to take a win and end the Casey Cardinia season on a high note proved what the club can do. “We’ve been building up for a couple of weeks… to get the chocolates was definitely reward for the effort,” Bryan said. “This is what we want to create week-in, week-out - it’s been a tough year on the field and that correlates off the field, so I said to everyone lets enjoy it as this is what we want in the future.” Bryan praised his older heads for their efforts in and under the packs. “I think Michael Downie was outstanding for us, Danny Morland again was just amazing, Ryan Goodes… all our senior players,” Bryan said. “They all knew the significance of today, not only for the club but for them personally and those guys stood up and did the job for us.” Keysborough finished its 2014 season in ninth place with a 2-16 record.
Keysborough begins a new chapter By JARROD POTTER HOPE and optimism surround Keysborough Football Netball Club and its upcoming move to the Southern Football League. A 20-point victory serves as the last note in its Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League (MPNFL) history. Keysborough’s president, captain and coach alike all sounded off the move and encouraged fans who turned out in droves on Saturday to farewell the club from the Casey Cardinia - to return to the Burra in 2015 and help keep the club going as it starts a new chapter. “It’s a bittersweet moment for us,” president Manny Scata said. “It’s a good note to finish on but a sad note as we’re leaving this league so it’s bittersweet, but you’re always going to want to take the four points and leave on a good note so we couldn’t ask for a better outcome. “This is what we want our club to be - competitive, not elitist - just out with the boys having a good hard crack… if they’ve done their best they get the points. “If that’s what it is going to be like in Southern, then come down and have a good family day, bring the kids and watch the Burra just do it.” Coach Chris Bryan was thrilled to take the points and make sure the chapter of Keysborough’s MPNFL/ SWGFL history was signed
Daniel Morland capped off his CCFL days emphatically with a starring performance in the Burra’s win over Hampton Park. 126160
Singing the song proudly for one last time in Casey Cardinia, Keysborough is now Picture: JARROD POTTER ready to join the Southern Football League. 126160 off in style. “We wanted to leave the league and this part of the club’s history in the right way and we did that today (Saturday),” Bryan said. “It’s (the MPNFL/SWGFL) been a part of our history… a chapter closes, but with every door closing one opens… our future looks bright. “We’ve got a lot of positive feeling around the place and people are excited about our future.” Burra captain Ryan Goodes - battered throughout a fairly brutal match - had the honour of being
the last Keysborough player to hold the footy in Casey Cardinia , he said it was a relief to take the points and thought the crowds showed the support the club could have going into Southern. “I think that puts us in good stead of next year look at the crowd that turned out today - that’s a crowd I haven’t seen since I’ve been here to be honest… probably since they were in the grand final six-years-ago,” Goodes said. “I think that game was more important, not only on field and not to win the wooden spoon, but to put
us in a good place ahead of next season.” Keysborough looks set to join the SFL in the Division-2 competition alongside local clubs Springvale Districts and Doveton Eagles in 2015 after ended its 60-year affiliation with the MPNFL (formerly South West Gippsland Football League) on Saturday. The Casey Cardinia season remains well-andtruly alive however, for one Keysborough team. Its BGrade netballers are now set to play finals after a 52-25 win over Hampton Park on home-court.

Noble knights in whites By JARROD POTTER EVERYONE is welcome at Noble Park Bowls Club with the new bowls season about to roll into action. Noble Park will have three-anda-half teams in Divisions 3, 4, 5 and 8 in the upcoming Bowls Victoria Metropolitan season and hope to expand the club’s membership to younger players, through schools programs, and especially players from a multicultural background. With the City of Greater Dandenong serving as one of Australia’s most diverse populations - as around 60 per cent of the population was born in another country - Noble Park Bowls Club chairperson Reg Vernon said it was up to bowls clubs to adapt to the new arrivals and entice them into the whites and take up the sport. “We’re going to try and encourage other cultures to take up lawn bowls,” Vernon said. “We’ve dropped probably from about 180 to 110 players in the last few years - there are all sorts of reasons for that.
“Some people go to other clubs, some people die of course, we’ve got a few younger players too, but we want to encourage younger players and players from other cultures to come down. “We’re trying to make it more affordable, but we want to encourage people from other cultures to take it up as well as it’s a very friendly place here.” Barefoot bowls will also become a weekly feature of the club as well, as the summer months take hold. A Noble Park bowls membership costs $30 and free coaching and use of club equipment is available for new players. Contact the club via its accredited coaches - Lyn on 9551 5935 or Marj on 9547 3860 - for more information on free lessons. You can also visit the club website www.bowls.clubnoble.com.au. The club - located on Moodemere Street, Noble Park next to the football oval - will host two open days on Wednesday 10 September and Sunday 14 September from 12 to 5pm.

SEABL - semi finals
Rangers face a rocky road By JARROD POTTER A RARE home-court loss has forced Dandenong Rangers down the harder path to the SEABL championship. The Rangers’ women could not stop the perimeter game of the Brisbane Spartans in a 64-71 loss on Saturday night. Holding the Dandenong effort aloft on their shoulders were Amelia Todhunter (18 points, 6 rebounds), Tenaya Phillips (18 points) and captain Faith Probst (10 points, 6 rebounds) - who toiled in her 200th SEABL match. The remaining Rangers failed to hit their shots as the home side hit only 34 per cent of its attempts. Coach Larissa Anderson said Dandenong’s usual defensive prowess was nowhere to be found in the upset loss. “We just weren’t focused defensively,” Anderson said. “We had our rules and we weren’t getting it done… we weren’t on the same page. “I can make excuses for the load that the girls have on during the week, and I was worried
about how tired some of them were, as they’ve trained really hard and had not recovered well enough. “That could explain some of the bad shooting, but put the ball on the floor and make up for it in other areas as we’ve done this season.” At the other end of the court, Brisbane fed the ball impeccably to long-range shooters Sarah Graham (21 points) and Odette Andrew (17 points) who both hit match-winning three-pointers in the final term. “Credit to Brisbane - they just couldn’t miss,” Anderson said. “Every team is shooting the lights out against us and we just have to adjust to that… we didn’t shut it down at all.” Dandenong now host Geelong women on Saturday night from 7pm to keep its championship chances alive. Dandenong’s men fared better on Saturday night - advancing to the SEABL East Conference preliminary final after a 92-85 win over Ballarat. It was Daequon Montreal (39 points, 9 rebounds) who stepped up under pressure along with star
Tenaya Phillips’ 18-point haul kept Dandenong’s hopes alive in its seven-point loss to Brisbane. 126161 Picture: JARROD POTTER centre Tony Lewis (24 points, 21 rebounds). Dandenong’s import duo led the charge impressively as the Miners could not halt their

FOOTBALL FEDERATION VICTORIA
Nothing… but good football NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUES NIL-ALL… some of the best clashes end in this lacklustre score line, but to their credit Pascoe Vale and Dandenong Thunder turned on the magic despite an inability to find the back of the net. Dandenong nearly opened their account on a couple of early occasions as Rama Tavsancioglu earned the first strike only for it to be well stopped. Strong chances failed to be capitalised upon as the Thunder had attempts at goal - created by the sprinting efforts of Kris Kioussis, Keiran Dover and Ilir Pali. The extra point gives Thunder a handy three-point buffer from the relegation zone. Dandenong and the NPL take the week off with catchup games and the Dockerty Cup final scheduled this weekend. In NPL1 results, Springvale White Eagles emerged with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over FC Bendigo via second-half goals
to Milan Jovanovic and Vojislav Milojevic. Dandenong City conceded a 0-2 loss to ladder leading Avondale Heights at home.

There’s always tomorrow By JARROD POTTER NOW they’ll have to do it the hard way. Dandenong gave up its double chance possibilities in the TAC Cup premiership race after a comprehensive 59-point beating at the hands of Geelong. The Falcons showed who wanted the win most of all. Any Dandenong turnover through half-back or the centre of North Port Oval was converted seamlessly into an inside-50 or goalattempt by the opposition.
Any Stingray fight back was immediately quashed by the Falcons’ fleetfooted midfielders - with the likes of Rhys Mathieson, Nick Dixon and Joe Maishman getting the jump in the centre. Worse still was Dandenong’s inability to chase - a flawed trait carried over from last week at home that enabled Western Jets to run away with the victory. Daylan Kempster had his hands full with likely first-round draft pick Pat McCartin, but kept the Falcons’ forward maestro to only three goals.
Aaron Wilson kept his head up all game to boot four goals and show a strong target up forward while debutants Harrison Prior and Sean Nicholson also toiled for the Stingrays. Rourke Fischer also continued his strong showing towards finals - taking on the Falcons’ centre men with gusto - as Dandenong’s best afield alongside Kieran Collins and Blake Mullane. “They’re a pretty good footy team,” Stingrays coach Craig Black said. “They’re really good… their midfield really worked hard and took it
on off half-back… and we helped by turning over the footy in the middle of the ground. “The mistakes we made they capitalised on as well.” The final ladder is almost set with Dandenong to finish either sixth or seventh. If Sandringham gets up over the Eastern Ranges on Sunday then Dandenong will face Western Jets in the finals. If the Ranges defeat the Dragons then the Stingrays will be Sandringham’s first finals opponent instead. “We had some tough games of

Lions run amok By JARROD POTTER Division 3 - qualifying final THE Cobras found themselves on the receiving end of a stern strike as Carrum Patterson Lakes pushed past Sandown in an SFL Division-3 qualifying final. Sandown could not match pace with the Lions through the centre as goals and forward opportunities proved elusive. Mitch Gersbeck (2 goals) was the best of the Sandown contingent, with the usual goalkicking powerhouses Clint Sheedy, Frank Martinicchio (1 goal) and Jason Toan (1 goal) held at bay by Carrum’s defence. Dan Macklin, Ben Adams and Matt Menzies toiled through the centre for the Cobras to feature in the best afield. The result could have been a lot

IT WILL be one of the rare years Noble Park has not made the finals in its Eastern Football League history after the season came to an end on Saturday. Either way - win or loss- the season was over for Noble Park before the clash against South Croydon and 2014 will be seen as a missed chance with opportunities gone begging. The only shining light in its 24-point loss to South Croydon were the milestone matches for interim-coach Stewart Kemperman and captain Craig Anderson - who each played their 150th game for the club. Waywardness in front of the goals - a common thread of this year’s capitulations - reared its head again on Saturday with the Bulls booting 16 behinds to a meagre six goals. “We didn’t really start very well - gave away eight goals in the first quarter,” Kemperman said. “From there the boys responded quite well and held them without a goal until late in the last quarter, but we just couldn’t capitalise ourselves. “We had six or seven more scoring shots and inaccuracy cost us for sure.” Kemperman praised Piva Wright, Sam Monaghan and Dan Keely on excellent performances as well as senior debutant Kevin Kean through the midfield. Even with a 0-2 record to start his senior coaching career, Kemperman said he had a taste for the role and would love to return to coaching at some point in the future. “I’ve got a taste for it, but don’t think I’ve got the best record,” Kemperman said. “I’ve enjoyed the challenge… it’s a nice little taster.” Noble Park finished in eighth spot with a 8-9-1 record.

Stars shine as cars sell out THE all new C-Class was unveiled at Mercedes-Benz Berwick last week with a lavish Stars and the Cars launch party. More than 350 guests mingled with managing director Horst Von Sanden of Mercedes-Benz Australia and sporting ambassadors former Essendon footballer Matthew Lloyd and golfer and radio personality Mark Allen. Sports broadcaster Sandy Roberts and valued customer of Mercedes-Benz Berwick also compared the night. Guests sipped Champagne and Espresso Martinis while nibbling on street food and oysters in the presence of five gleaming new C-Class vehicles, all of which were purchased on the night by impressed guests. Opera singers Figaro performed several highlights from Nessun Dorma to You Raise Me Up, their voices soaring to goose bump level in the German designed Autohaus showroom. Impressive DJ Claire Elliot, who had just flown in from headlining in LA, gave the rest of the night a fun party feel and combined with the amazing skills of Select AV they made sure the unveiling had impact and delight. The new C-Class is pure Mercedes-Benz. The standard model comes with the Mercedes star integrated in the radiator grille and a wealth of high-
class equipment. Exterior highlights include agility control suspension with selective damping system, rear bumper with insert in black diffuser look and beltline trim strip in polished aluminium. Interior highlights include seats upholstered in Aberdeen fabric, piano lacquer-look trim, three-spoke multifunction steering wheel in black leather, dashboard in black, nozzle surrounds and buttons in silver chrome, roof lining in crystal grey fabric and front door sill panels with Mercedes-Benz lettering. The new C-Class can assist the driver with braking when it really matters and issue an alert if it detects driver drowsiness thanks to Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive. Innovative standard or optional driving assistance systems provide the driver with even more support than ever. To make a car even more efficient, Mercedes Benz developed highly sophisticated drive technologies that are both powerful and economical. If the aerodynamics are optimised at the same time, agility and driving dynamics are enhanced. The body is lightweight yet robust. With 20 per cent more aluminium components and ultra-high-strength materials, the new C-Class also sets standards in this respect while offering a level of safety that only a
