Students show they’re panel beaters! By CASEY NEILL HAND Brake Turn students are used to repairing cars, but have been cutting them apart in the name of safety. On 28 August Dandenong Fire Station crew members visited the not-for-profit Concern Australia program, which helps 15 to 20-year-olds get their lives on track through training in mechanics, panel beating and spraying. Senior station officer Daryl Owen discussed what tools and equipment firefighters used to rescue people trapped in serious collisions. Participants used the hydraulic cutting equipment under supervision to feel the weight and force it takes to cut a car open. “We hope the participants
were able to see workplace safety and how quickly their pride and joy vehicles could be destroyed by a vehicle collision and then by us cutting the occupants free,” Mr Owen said. HBT manager Marc Clothier said the CFA visit encouraged participants to make good choices. “Some of them were quite surprised at hearing some of the stories about the accidents they’d been to and having to remove people,” he said. “I think some of them got a bit of a wake-up call.” HBT runs five nine-week courses each year and students achieve a certificate II in autobody repair technology, which counts toward auto apprenticeships.

■ Call for police to hit the brakes on safety crackdown...
Bikers bust-up MOTORCYCLISTS are slamming a Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol bike safety crackdown, saying they’re being targeted unfairly. Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts told the Journal his officers would pull over “just about every motorbike they see” during the next few months to combat an increase in accidents involving motorbike riders. This has prompted an angry response from riders, including Independent Riders Group (IRG) spokesman Damien Codognotto. He said members were thinking twice about taking part in the Cranbourne GP Run to the Australian Mo-
torcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island in October. “I’m one of them,” he said. “I’ve had two emails from riders who simply will not go to the island at that time. “Nothing puts touring riders off returning to an area or a state more than being pulled up for doing nothing wrong, checked like a common criminal by the road and given a lecture by someone who may not be able to ride, let alone safely.” Mr Codognotto said the GP Run was a good example of “a massive number of riders coming together, enjoying themselves and spending their money with no safety problems at all”. “Police do not pull up just about
increased 20 per cent in the Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia local government areas. “Two recent incidents involving motorcycles and other vehicles resulted in one death and one serious injury,” he said. “On both these occasions, the motorcycle was on the incorrect side of the road.” Sen Sgt Roberts said the operation sought to address the behaviour of all road users. “I am confident that the majority of motorcyclists who obey the road rules will welcome the safer environment a police presence brings,” he said.

He said officers would check whether bikes were roadworthy and warn riders about lane-splitting, riding up service lanes and taking unnecessary risks. Sen Sgt Roberts said police were targeting spring because of the warmer weather and the MotoGP. “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.”

every sports car driver they see headed for the Albert Park Grand Prix but they definitely target motorcyclists,” he said. “The road safety stats do not indicate that this kind of targeting is useful in terms of road safety. “We are all for improved road safety but police would do a lot more to ‘minimise the trauma’ if they got rid of the anti-bike culture in the force, put more police motorcycles on our roads and blitzed in car offences like breaking mobile phone laws. “The main cause of injury to motorcycle, scooter and bicycle riders and pedestrians is car driver error.” Sen Sgt Roberts said that since June 2013, serious injuries to motorcyclists

Ice chill grows By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS ICE is overtaking heroin as one of the favoured drugs in culturally and linguistically diverse communities and is destroying families, according to a Noble Park substance abuse organisation. Cyrene Centre drug counsellor Gerard Koe said immigrants were particularly vulnerable to drug abuse. “When you come to a new country and you don’t have the language, you’re always going to feel that bit of disadvantage. Your self-esteem is a bit battered. “Ice particularly appeals to that. It makes you feel powerful - king of your mountain - while you normally feel powerless." The view has been supported by a state parliament committee report which has found that ice users among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities are lying below the radar of drug researchers and policy makers. The report into the Supply and Use of Methamphetamine in Victoria released last week stated the “need for strategies that address methamphetamine use among CALD communities is clear”. “Unfortunately, despite trying to elicit information in this area,
Political Promises State Government $3m boost to mental health services for people on ice 11 extra drug-detection police dogs $4.5m for detecting drug-affected motorists $2m in ice prevention grants to local communities Tougher penalties for assaults of hospital staff $4 for state’s first mother-baby drug withdrawal unit State Opposition $15 million for new drug and booze buses $500,000 for grassroots community action groups in regional Victoria. Will convene an Ice Action Taskforce to help deliver an Ice Action Plan Four new offences including for trafficking ice to school students
with some notable exceptions, the committee received little information about methamphetamine use in CALD communities,” it said. Mr Koe said he was unsure if ice programs were well tailored to CALD communities because of the drug’s recency. “I know in the Vietnamese communities, ice is destroying families. It’s replacing heroin (in its popularity).” Paul Bird, chief executive of youth drug-and-alcohol service YSAS, said the service welcomed more “knowledge gathering in this area”. He said the service had captured data on its clients from CALD
communities but didn’t have corresponding “before” data. “What we’re seeing with the CALD clients, mainly Pacific Islander and African backgrounds, is more alcohol misuse than ice presently. “Still alcohol and cannabis are the two mainstays - it’s similar to other cohorts of young people. You could argue that those two drugs numb the pain of trauma in the past.” Mr Bird said YSAS was “certainly worried about ice "but hadn’t seen a take-up with the under-20 cohort as yet”. “A number of drugs are attractive to this cohort but no more so than other backgrounds.”
The parliamentary report’s authors recommended culturally-appropriate training and resources for families, agencies and personnel working with CALD communities. It stated ice was being used by a wide cross-section of society including CALD communities but much academic and policy work was “generalist”. “(It) assumes the problems of drug misuse among ’Anglo’ communities (particularly with regard to males) can be simplistically extrapolated to people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.” Another blind-spot identified by the report was a lack of support for families of ice users. The report also recommended expanding the Dandenong-based Drug Court to other areas of the state. The report found the court’s therapeutic justice regime was a “valuable program”. The court, which featured in the Journal earlier this year, oversees 60 offenders in Melbourne’s south-east who have been diverted onto community-based drug treatment orders. They take part in a two-year intensive treatment and counselling regime as an alternative to a jail sentence.

A MAN armed with a knife has robbed a Dandenong South service station. Springvale Embona Taskforce detectives are calling for public help to identify the culprit and have released CCTV footage and stills from the incident. They allege the man entered the South Gippsland Highway business about 1.45am on Friday 29 August and approached the counter to buy a packet of gum but didn’t have enough money. He retrieved cash from his car, returned and paid for the gum, then produced a silver knife and demanded the attendant hand over money. Detective Senior Constable Kim Alp said the bandit handed the attendant a white plastic bag which he filled with cash. The robber fled the store and was last seen getting into a light-coloured station wagon and driving toward Dandenong. Police urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

POLICE made two arrests following a drug raid in Dandenong North late last month. Dandenong Tasking Unit members executed a drugs warrant at an address in Latham Crescent on Friday 29 August. Inside they located 680 grams of cannabis, with an estimated street value of $1400, plus cannabis seeds, a quantity of the drug GHB, digital scales, zip lock bags and other drug paraphernalia. They arrested a 52-year-old woman who has been bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 19 December to answer charges of trafficking cannabis and possessing cannabis and GHB. Police also arrested a 32-year-old man and issued him with a cannabis caution notice.

Our efforts raise the standard CORNERSTONE Contact Centre in Dandenong provides about 35,000 free meals to the people of Greater Dandenong and beyond each year. We have well over 400 volunteers and our yearly budget is about $90,000 (about 1 per cent of other agencies our size). Over the past 20-plus years at Cornerst one Contact Centre in Dandenong I’ve met many people struggling with substance and behavioural addictions, mental health issues, family breakdown, homelessness or a combination of many of these things. I remember an occasion last year when an aggressive man was drinking alcohol on the steps of our building and I went out to have a polite chat. Other people had asked him to move on and he was very abusive and threatening towards me. I told him we were not allowed to have alcohol on the premises and how

I didn’t want to call the police but he angrily insisted that I did. The operators always ask for a description so I snapped a photo of this man and he became enraged and ran over and raised his hand to thump me. I stood my ground and he changed his mind, abused me some more and then left. Two days later a man turned up after lunch asking if there was any food he could get to take home. We had a few cans of food out the back so I offered to put together
a small food hamper for him. He continually thanked me and praised me for my help and I wondered why he was so appreciative. I gave him my business card and let him know about other Cornerstone programs and he thanked me again then left. Then I recognised who he was. I pulled out my phone to see the photo I took two days earlier of the man who was going to belt me. It was the same person. He was thankful because he thought I was unlikely to help him and was surprised by grace. From the early days we were keen to assist people who were sleeping outdoors and purchased products that we were told was great for this purpose. Space blankets, products that we had to cut out and stitch together, and even some blankets that were not much thicker than bed sheets.
We heard from rough sleepers than none of these products were suitable. Five years ago one of our board members spoke about a backpack bed he had tested out. I was sceptical but after handing a few out I heard wonderful feedback about them. At around $80 each our budget could not afford many so we rely on churches, corporate groups and service clubs like Rotary to buy them for us to give out. In the past few years we have given out well over 100 backpack beds from www.swags.org.au. We hope to give one to every homeless person we meet. Two years ago a rough looking man turned up and asked for a backpack bed. Two days later he came back and hugged me saying it had saved his life. He told me when he first saw me he had been awake under a cold wet blanket outdoors during the night and decided if he was in the same situation
the following night he would end his life. The next night he had a backpack bed and could hear the rain falling but he was completely warm and dry and woke up ready to face the day. These are fire retardant beds that meet UN, Oxfam and UNHCR (international) standards. Unfortunately there are still products out there that are not so good. There’s a lack of standards for products given to street sleepers. There are standards for disaster relief products and standards for what can be used in prisons, but currently no Australian standards for products that claim to be made for street sleepers. I believe that we should treat our homeless people at least as good as we look after our worst criminals. I have seen one product burst into flames myself.

Beaconsfield is among a number of stations in the south-east that the Public Transport Users Association says should be staffed.
LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 10 September 1914 On Active Service The following letter has been received from a member of the Citizen’s forces of the Dandenong Company, in reply to an epistle from his mother. He writes"I received your letter at a most welcome moment, late last night (Tuesday) when I was on picket duty (sentry). It was a very cold and miserable night, and I was feeling a little home sick. A friend relived me for a moment, and I went into the guard tent to read it, feeling very much more cheerful after doing so. I am now at Point Nepean. We left Queenscliff early Monday morning being specially picked for picket duty for the Point Nepean Forts. We are camped right against the forts, from which you can obtain
a beautiful view of either side of the Heads. There are numerous small camps near the Point - about 100 men in each camp (the Queenscliff camp has over 2000). We are well treated. The food is very fair (I have just finished a decent meal of Irish Stew). I sleep well at night, having four big blankets, which keep me warm enough. We have to work very hard and are up at 6am sharp, and drill till 8, then breakfast, and from 9 to 12 and from 1 to 4.30 we either have to dig trenches or clear scrub - a nice change of occupation eh! On the first day I thought the work would knock me up, but apparently it hasn’t for I am feeling "As fit as a fiddle" now. At night two of us have to keep sentry for four hours. They are prepared for trouble here, for all of us are armed with 50 rounds of call cartridges, and they keep search lights on the Heads

Peter Brown says vacant land on Cheltenham Road Dandenong is best used for public open space 125598 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS We want to encourage people to use public transport so a car park would be a great option for, say, the next five years.” Last month councillor Peter Brown proposed a tree-lined, landscaped entry point on the spacious lot - reminiscent of St Kilda Road’s boulevard. He said it would be more appealing than a "high-rise wind tunnel" if the council’s original plan proceeded. Cr Brown said it would be a positive step if the land’s destiny reverted to the council’s hands for “proper use”.
“My view is there’s an increasing view among councillors to supporting (the gateway proposal). “I think Places Victoria has found there was enough unsold land in Dandenong without adding to it.” Places Victoria land development and housing manager Joanne Wandel said the land at the northern end of the Metro 3175 estate had always been owned by the council. “The vision for the site is for high density mixed use development,” she said.

GREATER Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti has partially backed a proposed parkland gateway into Dandenong on Cheltenham Road. The council is set to vote on whether to tear up a 2002 agreement with Places Victoria to develop the vacant land on the road’s northern side opposite the under-construction ninestorey Mosaic Apartments due to “non completion”. The deed’s sunset date is 15 October. It had been earmarked for high-density development, including high-rise apartments and commercial uses, as well as dedicated open space in the council’s master plan. Cr Memeti, who estimated the spacious site was worth $8 million, said there was room for both a park as well as multilevel apartments “That’s my preference. The council has to still vote on whether to take the land back (from Places Victoria).” He said the land could be used as a temporary car park for railway commuters in the meantime. “We need that extra parking.

Bridge over troubled waters PLACES Victoria is set to build a long-awaited bridge across Dandenong Creek. The bridge will link central Dandenong and Dandenong South via Metro Village 3175 housing estate. The proposed Allan Street bridge, to be built as part of a long-standing agreement with Greater Dandenong Council, will connect southwards to the corner of Dalgety Street and Morwell Avenue. It will provide vehicle and pedestrian access for Metro Village residents to Dandenong South Primary School and Dandenong Bypass. For Dandenong South residents it will offer a quicker route to the CBD and Cheltenham Road. The project is proceeding after recent talks between the council and Places Victoria.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti said the council had to fight for Places Victoria to honour its agreement to build the bridge, which is not mentioned on the Revitalising Central Dandenong website’s list of future projects. He said the bridge would be an asset for residents on both sides of the creek and an expectation for recentlysettled residents in the Metro Village estate. “It shouldn’t become a rat run. It will just be local traffic using the bridge,” Cr Memeti said. “It will mainly help residents in that area by taking traffic off Cheltenham and Hammond roads.” Councillor Peter Brown said the thoroughfare may come as a shock for Metro Village residents.

He called for a precautionary cost-benefit analysis and traffic study prior to construction. “A number of owners and residents in Metro Village are going to take traffic through their estate from Dandenong South. “The community on the south side may benefit from the bridge but I’m not sure if people on the other side of the creek will.” Places Victoria land development and housing general manager Joanne Wandel said tenders were expected to go out in early 2015. “Places Victoria and the City of Greater Dandenong are working together to finalise the design and construction program.” -By Cam Lucadou-Wells

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… ROTARY Club of Dandenong handed out more than $10,000 to the community last Monday night. Battle of the Bands at the Dandenong Show received $1000 and $2000 went to Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills’ Disaster Aid project. Refugees on bridging visas are the main attendees at Dandenong Kindergarten, which received $2000. Another $3000 went to Gateway Industries, which employs people with disabilities, and Wesley Mission got an extra $500 to support youth. Dandenong Sings received $500 for its choir program that brings together young and old, as did Cornerstone Contact Centre, Dandenong Salvation Army and Dandenong Neighbourhood House. SPORTING clubs in Greater Dandenong can put their hand up for a $10,000 boost. The Good Guys Dandenong is offering the sponsorship. Interested clubs can visit the store at 55-67 Frankston-Dandenong Road, Dandenong, and submit their interest. A SACKED worker’s attempts to make his former boss ‘pay’ proved less than rewarding in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last week. The former carpenter, 28, chalked up an $865 tab on his ex-boss’s account at Bunnings in Keysborough and Dandenong. His lawyer told the court that “rightly or wrongly” his client be-

lieved his boss had let him go for asking for sick leave to deal with kidney stones. At the time of the thefts he’d also split from his partner and was couch-surfing and using methamphetamine. The court heard he’d since reformed, and sentenced him to a 12-month good-behaviour bond and ordered him to pay $500 to the court’s charitable fund. A MAN asked Dandenong Magistrates’ Court to allow him to attend compulsory military service in Turkey as punishment for striking his wife outside a restaurant in a drunken pique. The magistrate drily noted it was a shame the 39-year-old who told the court he “just had one too many” - hadn’t done military service years ago. He ordered the man to perform 100 hours of unpaid work, and undergo alcohol testing and counselling as part of a 12-month community corrections order. “You can always come back to court and get your order varied if it becomes imperative to go overseas,” the magistrate said.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING RE: Bike clampdown POLICE are repelling tourists early this year. If police did this with 4WD/SUV or ute drivers there would be a scream that the vast majority are law abiding citizen so targeting them for their choice of transport is discriminatory and is not acceptable in our society. And, specifically targeting twowheeled tourists heading for one of the world’s great tourist attractions, the Phillip Island GP, is economic vandalism. Motorcycle and scooter tourers spend
more than $800 million a year in this state, most of it in regional Victoria. $60 million is spent on the Island and surrounds during the GP carnival alone (Tourism Victoria). As for “minimising the trauma”, piffle. I note Sen Sgt Roberts does not give bike casualty stats, sources and causes of crashes. In spite of most bike crashes being caused by car driver error, motorcycle and scooter riding is safer than it has ever been. If Roberts and co want to minimise
the trauma, a blitz on in-car offences like mobile phone use would be a good start. Of course he’d have to finish his text first. Damien Codognotto, via web. HAS Senior Sergeant Roberts popped around to all the motorcycle businesses in Dandy to tell them of his planned welcome for all their customers and friends, or lack of, since his inspired brain wave? Police are part of the trauma. Tony, via web.

“There wasn’t anybody that beat me up so (I thought) they wouldn’t find anyone responsible. They’d say we can’t identify a person.” Mr Vandersteen said the “unusual” case had a “feeling of revenge” because Williams had identified a culprit. He noted Williams had no prior convictions but his offence was “very serious” because it diverted police resources and lead to an innocent man losing his liberty. “Police did act on good faith. It’s fortunate that the police at some stage were able to ascertain what was said was untrue.” He ordered Williams undergo an assessment for a community corrections order and adjourned the case until 8 September.
Fundraising takes a stand ART stands bring in about $14,000 each year to help the Rotary Club of Dandenong support worthy causes. But club president Ian Maxwell said a shortage of volunteers was placing the program in danger. Rotarians deliver and set up art stands for community art shows then collect them once the exhibition is over. “It’s about 50 half days a year,” Mr Maxwell said. “What they pay for that service comes to us and we feed that back into the community.” To get involved, call Trevor Harding on 0409 797 730, Ian Maxwell on 0409 049 110 or email secretary@rotarydandenong.com.au.

A LYNDHURST man struggled to explain to a Dandenong magistrate on Monday last week why he falsely reported an armed robbery to police. Lee James Williams, 36, pleaded guilty to filing the allegation to Cranbourne police on 23 February which led to a Dandenong Embona armed robbery taskforce investigation and arrest of a suspect identified by the accused. Police applied for restitution costs of $1575 for the investigation including reviewing CCTV footage from the Jim Dandy Hotel and interviewing Williams and the ‘suspect’. Williams told Dandenong Magistrates' Court that his “lie” was he’d been approached by
three “blokes” outside the pub on his way home. One of them asked for a “smoke” and then they robbed him. Under questioning from magistrate Jack Vandersteen, Williams said he had identified but not named the ‘offender’ who he knew through a “mate”. “The obvious question is why did you do it?” Mr Vandersteen said. “I was trying to cover for my mate,” Williams replied though he didn’t know why his “mate” needed to be protected. He said he felt pressure from a police officer to make a formal complaint after ringing the station with his story. “I had no intention of going to the police... I didn’t want anything to happen,” he said.

One punch lands life-long blow By BRIDGET COOK NOBLE Park resident Ben Thompson understands better than anyone how one punch can change someone’s life. One punch left him fighting for his life with a rare chance of survival at 22 years old. One punch left him wheelchair bound with limited movement and limited ability to talk seven years on from the fateful night. One punch has caused a ripple effect to his family and friends who have been on an emotional rollercoaster with him ever since. And one punch has left Ben and his loved ones continuing to shake their heads that the message of the dangers of coward’s punches doesn’t seem to be getting through, despite so many tragedies. The topic of the consequences of king-hit attacks and the need for tougher penalties for those involved has been rife over in the past months following a number of deaths of young men across the country. Last month, the State Government revealed that one punch killers would spend at least 10 years in jail under tough new laws. In August a 15-year-old boy named Jaiden was left in an induced coma following an alleged coward’s punch while he was walking away from the drama at an underage party in Bayswater. Ben, 29, said he was happy to share his story of how a single punch changed his life to
Ben before he received his brain injury in 2007.
Ben Thompson lives in assisted accommodation in Noble Park. 126410 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS try and encourage men to think before they act. Ben was punched outside his Cranbourne home on 27 June 2007, causing him to fall backwards and hit his head on the concrete. His attacker was later convicted and jailed.
Ben was rushed to The Alfred hospital where he underwent urgent brain surgery, with doctors giving him a slim chance of survival, and that’s where he stayed in a coma for the next six months. However, Ben did survive, which was the first miracle of many others that followed, in-
cluding starting to speak again three years ago. While Ben had to live in a nursing home for many years due to the lack of care facilities for younger people, he now lives in his own flat at Yooralla House with people similar in age. Speaking on behalf of
Ben’s family, his cousin Rebekah Booth said it was frustrating to continue to hear stories of coward’s punches in the media and urged people to learn from Ben’s story. “It really destroyed his life and ours in many ways,” she said.
“Ben’s mum Robyn passed away last year and without a doubt there was a connection between her death and the stress of what Ben’s been through. “There’s no quality of life for Ben. “We are lucky, in a sense, that we’ve still got Ben, unlike some families who lose their loved ones, but I urge people to see what can happen before they throw a punch. “If people could see the effects of how a punch left Ben’s life, then maybe it will stop even one person from doing the same. “A hand is a powerful weapon, you don’t have to have a weapon to do serious damage.” Ben had a similar message, particularly to young men. “This has changed my life,” he said. “Think before you hit someone. “The consequences could be terrible. Doesn’t just affect us, it affects lots of people.” Ben and Ms Booth both agreed that there needed to be tougher one-punch laws. “People don’t seem to be learning from these cases - it just keeps happening,” Ms Booth said. “If tougher penalties mean it won’t happen to someone else, then that’s a good thing. “But for us, our focus is on Ben - not the person who did this - and it’s positive that he just keeps making gains.”

Mates launch their message TWO mates whose friendship was forged in battle have banded together to make sure a new generation understands how Australia’s identity has been shaped by war. Geoff Lowe and Gary Phillips met as young soldiers in Vietnam during tours of duty in 1966-'67. Both are from military families - they both had grandfathers who were Anzacs and Mr Lowe’s father served in World War II. Last year as the centenary of the start of World War I approached the friends decided to undertake an extraordinary project: they would stage a live event before as many school children as possible to help them tell the story of famil-
ial military sacrifice that runs through mnay Australian families. The Victorian event was staged at St John’s Regional College, Dandenong, last week. Hundreds of students from Greater Dandenong schools attended the Sons of Anzacs event listening to mini-lectures on military history, music from different war eras and the personal stories of those who have served in Vietnam and, more recently, Afghanistan. In conjunction with the live event, the friends also ran an essay competition, inviting school students to write about their family’s experience of war. Both the junior and senior sections of the Victorian competition were won by Cranbourne Secondary College students.
“We hope the kids who went to the presentations now have a better insight and understanding of the links between various generations of Australians and also understand what it was like to be in combat. It’s not very pleasant,” Mr Lowe said. “We also hope they have a better understanding of what our military has done to make us who we are as Australians today. “The fact we are a multicultural society and we’re prepared to fight for what is right and proper. “When Anzac Day comes around we hope they will feel a little bit of ownership of it.” The presentation also toured to Caloundra in Queensland and Rooty Hill in Sydney, reaching more than 9000 children.

Orchids spring By NARELLE COULTER
Ron Daniell with his Australian orchid. 126780 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Ron Daniell discoverd a passion for orchids later in life. “I went to a show and there was this guy potting orchids. “I was about to retire and I was looking for something to do that also had a social side. “That’s what I like about the club, we go to each others’ places for a cup of coffee. We don’t grow (orchids) for sheep stations.” Ron said the club was keen to get families involved so kids can “get some dirt under their fingernails”. The show is an annual club highlight and since it moved to Noble Park’s Paddy
O’Donoghue Centre attendance numbers have boomed. Despite a “shocking” winter which has delayed some flowers, both men are confident the show will offer a spectacular array of blooms. The public will also be able to purchase a variety of orchids as well as orchid related products. Club members will be on hand to dispense advice and encourgement. The 2014 show will be held at 18-32 Buckley Street, Noble Park, on Saturday 27 September from 9am to 5pm and on Sunday 28 September from 9am to 4pm.

WITH spring in the air, the Dandenong and District Orchid Club is preparing for another bloomin’ good annual show at the end of the month. Between 35 and 60 members of the club meet on the second Friday of the month to listen to a guest speaker, put their orchids forward for judging and share coffee and a chat. Among the club’s longest serving members is John Betts who inherited his love of orchids from his mother. When his mum died, John tendered her beloved orchids, gradually forming a deep appreciation of the plants himself. He said orchids could be temperamental plants posing a challenge to growers who have to diligently coax them into flowering. And with native orchids growing as far south as Tasmania, John assures new growers that orchids can thrive in cold climates, even without a hot house. They can also be grown in hanging pots making them ideal for small yards and apartments. “You have to know where you orchid is from. That’s the biggeset clue to growing successfully,” said John. “Growing orchids requires patience. “Sometimes you are waiting for a flower that only appears once a year. “It can take up to 10 or 15 years for some seedlings to flower.” In contast, club president

Campaign’s steady progress YOU don’t need to tell councillor Roz Blades there’s a lot riding on this campaign. One mistake might set back the hopes of about 2000 asylum seekers living in Greater Dandenong. “I don’t want to sacrifice the quality of (the submission). You can’t rush this - it’s an important thing that affects the lives of many. “The process is slower than I would have liked but no council is saying ‘no’.” Cr Blades, with the support of Greater Dandenong Council, is enlist-
THE JOURNAL HAS FOR THE PAST MONTH BACKED CITY OF GREATER DANDENONG’S PUSH FOR MORE FEDERAL RESOURCES TO HELP ASYLUM SEEKERS. CAM LUCADOU-WELLS REPORTS ON THE COUNCIL’S PROGRESS. ing all Victorian councils to back the plea for federal help - the need to settle, feed and clothe the asylum seekers who arrive here with little or nothing. At a forum in Dandenong last month, 19 Victorian councils as well as state government representatives, refugee advocates and welfare agencies got behind the bulk of a pro-asylum seeker joint statement.
Cr Blades said some suggested amendments raised during the forum were still being worked through. When finalised, the statement will be sent to all Victorian councils for endorsement. Cr Blades hoped a delegation of mayors and Municipal Association of Victoria representatives would visit Canberra to present the statement by the end of the year.
“The aim is we go to the government with evidence that we need resources.” One of the forum sticking points was raised by Glen Eira Council mayor Neil Pilling, who doubted whether “conservative middle-metropolitan” councils would back a call for work rights for asylum seekers. “This is the only point in which we dipped our toe in politically and the only point of disagreement,” Cr Blades said. “If there are work rights, there is not as much pressure on charities and
churches to support people.” She said she would ask the council’s fledgling asylum-seeker advisory committee to advise whether work rights was non-negotiable. The council has advertised for expressions-of-interest to join the 14-member committee, hoping to rope in local charities and asylum-seeker organisations to share their expertise. “They’re experts in their field, I know I’m not,” Cr Blades said. “They have this knowledge that can help us.”
Human face of political feuding By CASEY NEILL REFUGEES and asylum seekers are people too. This was the message from Springvale Uniting Church Reverend Paul Creasey, who said both sides of politics had dehumanised new arrivals in recent years. “We’re becoming far more suspicious of the outsider, yet we’re a country that’s built on people who’ve come from somewhere else,” he said. “The only way we’re going to change it is to keep telling our leaders, our politicians and the wider community that these are people.” Up to 80 per cent of the people who come to Rev Creasey for help are refugees, migrants or asylum seekers. “There are a whole lot of different service providers who are working very
hard to cover the gap,” he said. “It’s my belief that things will get worse before they get better.” Rev Creasey has spearheaded Australia’s first multicultural men’s shed which is set to open its doors within weeks at Springvale Uniting Church. “I think that men in our community are really struggling to understand their role in the community, he said. “Some find themselves out of work prematurely, or when they do retire that they’ve lived for work and their social connections are not built up. “It’s about inclusion, it’s about creating a more cohesive community.” He said the shed would also break down barriers between Springvale’s many cultures. “We have differences, obviously, but the commonalities that we have are
far greater,” he said. Rev Creasey said the Springvale concept was in line with other Australian Men’s Shed Association groups, which give men a place to chat while working shoulder to shoulder. But there’ll be a focus on employment skills, parenting and health. “Parenting is a big issue,” he said. “If you come from, say, a Dinka community, the man has the strong role within the family, and it’s changed because a lot of the men when they came here were unable to get work.” Rev Creasey said the shed’s reach would be wider than the men who attended. “Men’s sheds are women’s business, for the simple fact that I think there are benefits for the whole family, he said.”

Traumatic journeys here By CASEY NEILL “OVERALL, it’s a grim picture.” Dr Philip Hammond says refugees and asylum seekers battle three stages of trauma in their bid for a better life. He’s calling for an end to offshore detention and for healthcare professionals to understand the journeys that new arrivals to Australia have endured. Dr Hammond was the event lead at the Mental Health of Refugees and Asylum Seekers: Understanding, Recognising, Treating workshop on 31 August. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) joined together for the event which is designed to ensure GPs and psy-
chiatrists were best-placed to tend to refugee and asylum seeker healthcare needs. “The first point to make is that trauma starts at the beginning of the journey,” Dr Hammond said. “It starts with the decision to leave their home. “The essence was all of them have experienced very traumatic events before they leave their home country. “Forced migrant is a major decision, a major trauma, because they’re leaving behind their friends, their family and their social structures and networks.” Dr Hammond said the second trauma refugees and asylum seekers experienced was the process of forced migration. “They usually end up in a country
which is a staging post,” he said. “In our particular case, when they’re trying to get to Australia they usually end up in Asia. “They end up in a temporary staging post in a Third-World situation.” The third and final traumatic stage occurs when they reach their destination. “People now are held in detention off-shore,” Dr Hammond said. “That has very deleterious effects on mental health. “The longer they’re in detention, the worse their mental health is going to get.” He said this was due to two things - waiting for assessment and a lack of hope. “Asylum seekers who arrived after
August last year have no hope of being settled in Australia,” he said. “All the speakers agreed that detention is a high risk for mental health problems.” Dr Hammond said RACGP and RANZCP were “gravely concerned about the health of asylum seekers held in detention” and had stated that offshore detention should be ceased. “The first statement of the Hippocratic oath, the oath we all took when we all graduated, is ‘do no harm’,” he said. “What’s happening is directly contravening that.” He said many were suffering posttraumatic stress disorder from the situation they had fled, and severe depression and self-harm from their incarceration.
Dr Hammond said asylum seekers on bridging visas faced their own difficulties, including intermittent access to Medicare. But he said that GPs and psychiatrists could help. “The most important thing to come out was to listen to their story, their testimonial about what’s happened in their lives,” he said. “Another thing that is used is what’s called grounding. “People can get carried away in despair. “They need to concentrate on dayto-day living, rather than false hope or wondering where they’re going to end up. “The grounding technique is based on Buddhist teachings and is an important cognitive behaviour therapy.”
You’ll be right, mate, just get the lingo IT’S up to migrant jobseekers to understand the nuances of Australian workplaces, according to Aaron Mashano. The African-born CEO of Dandenong employment agency Leaders of Tomorrow chaired the Migrant Youth Employment Forum at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong last Tuesday, 2 September. He told the audience he carried around a notepad to jot down Aussie slang terms, like ‘bob’s your uncle’ and ‘fair dinkum’. “It helped me to connect with employers later on,” he said. Mr Mashano also urged attendees at
the free South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN) event not to be afraid to clarify anything they didn’t understand during a job interview. “In some cultures you don’t question an elder,” he said. “Here it’s a show of interest.” Panel members included Coles acting national talent acquisition manager Karen MacCullum, Village Roadshow human resources officer Caitlin Fraraccio, Target Dandenong store manager Chatura Wickramasinghe, MMC Group Consulting general manager Graeme Stephenson, Bunnings employee relations co-ordinator Darren Moulder and NAB education and corporate responsi-
bility consultant Jade Moffat. They suggested jobseekers without previous work experience provide character references that could attest to personal attributes which are helpful in a workplace. “What is important is your personality. We can teach you the skills,” Ms MacCullum said. Attendees heard that volunteering experience was extremely valuable. Ms Moffat suggested volunteering in a field related to the employment area they were interested in, like an op shop for retail or a soup kitchen for hospitality.

These guns are supplied with a special mallet that serves 2 purposes: by striking the top of the gun with the mallet, floorboards are pushed hard up against each other. At the same time a staple is then fired through the soonto-be-concealed tongue of the floorboard, securing it permanently to the joist. Easy to use, reliable & fantastic value!

COCOON OF FAMILY LUXURY BUYERS will be able to experience the Tuncurry 269 at the beautiful Waterford Rise Estate in Warragul. The display includes all standard items as well as a selection of options that buyers can consider as part of a complete Tuncurry package. The Tuncurry’s modern façade, which includes an attractive portico, is an arresting mixture of textures including render, plain brick and timber lining. It is one of a range of facades available to suit style and estate guidelines. A double garage offers direct access into the home and buyers can choose between a Colorbond or cement roof at the standard price. The Waterford Rise display also gives potential buyers an appreciation of the Tuncurry’s magnificent raked ceiling which soars above the main living/kitchen space. Although the raked ceiling is an option, it is well worth considering. The master bedroom at the front of the home boasts a fantastic walk-in wardrobe which runs the whole length of the rear wall. Cleverly, the design of the master suite includes entry to the wardrobe from either side of the bed, offering easy access to abundant hanging and storage space. The ensuite has a double shower, separate toilet and double vanity. The open-plan family/dining area boasts a myriad of large windows letting in an abundant natural light. Square-set cornice in the entry and living further enhances the modern feel. Beautiful stone bench tops immediately create a feeling of quality in the kitchen, as does the 900mm free-standing Westinghouse oven, a standard inclusion in the Tuncurry. The kitchen has ample storage options including a clever pop-out drawer with
concealed power point, perfect for hiding phone and iPod chargers. The main living area flows through to a rumpus room, which has sliding doors to the rear garden/entertaining area. The further three bedrooms are larger than standard spacious and light with access to the main bathroom. Other features of the Tuncurry include mixer taps throughout, solar assisted hot
water, separate linen cupboard, 20mm stone to all benches and laminate bench tops in the laundry.

WARNEET It's got the works plus more so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge a book by its cover. This very neat and tidy four bedrooms plus study residence has lots to offer including high ceilings and decorative cornices for added character. The main bedroom has an ensuite. It's been freshly painted in all neutral tones and new tiles bringing added appeal. A wood heater plus a split system reverse cycle unit is situated in the spacious open plan kitchen, meals and lounge room. The kitchen includes a dishwasher plus a walk-in pantry. There is also a solar hot water service. Outside there are loads of goodies! There is a double carport, a double garage, currently used to fit the caravan, and workshop, and a pergola, spa area and an aviary. It's pretty much got the works so buyers would want to jump on this one if they were looking for a lifestyle change by the water. It is also only 15 minutes from Cranbourne for all amenities so it provides the best of both worlds.

NEW HOMES & LAND
BURBANK REVOLUTIONISES ITS COLLECTIONS OF HOMES Burbank Homes has completely revolutionised its home designs, launching three new collections of homes designed for specific market segments. Having spent the past 18 months profiling buyers and engaging in customer feedback, Burbank is proud to have completely evolved its homes collection with product offerings that speak to customers more directly. From the bright and youthful Gen collection to the smart living designs of the Future collection right through to the high-end luxury of Elements by Burbank, each new range is specifically tailored to different lifestyles and needs making it easy for customers to find the home which is best suited to them. Burbank managing director Jarrod Sanfilippo said the new collections offer more variety than ever across three differentiated collections books. “The Burbank team is really excited to finally unveil our three brand new collections which we’ve been working tirelessly on for the better part of two years,” Jarrod said. “With each collection showcasing a completely different look and feel, homebuyers will notice the difference in these new collections throughout the whole customer journey experience – from visiting our new website through to dropping into our display homes and rifling through our brand new books. “Gen is our fun, colourful collection designed for first homebuyers, particularly younger demographics, looking for great value for money in their new home. “Room for outdoor entertaining and big kitchens, meals and family zones are the norm in these floor plans, plus we’ve added in larger, double-storey designs which still tick the affordability box.”
Burbank’s next collection is its tried and true Future collection which features seven-star energy-efficient homes. “Very popular among homebuyers, we’ve retained this collection name and the ethos behind these seven-star designs but have revamped the floor plans in line with the wants and needs of our customers,” Jarrod said.
“The Future collection now offers homes from 18 squares right up to 54 squares and includes a ranch style home with a 30 metre frontage which we’ve designed for our regional markets in Warragul and Ballarat. “Future homebuyers will still be drawn by the smart living designs which can see
them save $1332 a year on heating and cooling bills or 74 per cent of their energy usage, compared to an average 2.5 star rated Melbourne home.” The home builder’s third and final range is its high-end Elements by Burbank – a range, says Jarrod, which is Burbank’s most designer collection yet. “Each home within Elements by Burbank is fitted with a complete range of luxury inclusions as standard, from stone benchtops to higher ceilings and doors and three coats of paint throughout,” Jarrod said. “This is a collection for those who are upgrading their homes, often second or third homebuyers who are looking for the best of luxurious, spacious design.” Homebuyers can experience these new homes at the 20-plus Burbank displays across Melbourne or browse through the homes on the all-new Burbank website. “To complement the complete reinvention of our homes collections, we have also re-designed our website with new features which will help our customers on their home buying journey,” Jarrod said. “Customers can browse through our collections and save their favourite homes on a profile to come back to later, and can even customise their home by selecting different floor plan options and see their design update on screen. “Plus, the website is responsive across all mobile and computer devices so it’s never been simpler to start the search for a new home,” Jarrod said. Burbank’s new collections launch is supported by an integrated marketing campaign on radio, in print and online. Visit the Burbank website at www.burbank. com.au or stop by a display centre for a first look into the new Burbank home collections.

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
SPRING INTO HIGHGROVE FOR FREE FAMILY FUN Loads of free family fun as well as the chance to win a new iPad mini will be on offer in Cranbourne North on Saturday 13 September as Brown Property Group officially launches its new builders’ display village. The first of three community events set for this spring, the Family Fun Day will see two face painters and a jumping castle on hand to entertain the kids and the word around town is Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob Squarepants will be making a special guest appearance as well! Mums and dads are also in for a treat, and not just because the kids will be distracted for a few hours, with the famous Northcote-based food truck 1090 Burger serving up delicious free gourmet cheeseburgers for guests. Brown Property Group Marketing Manager Graham Nolan said the new Brown Property Group Display Village would provide a valuable local resource for homebuyers who are looking to purchase their ideal new home. Buyers will also find Brown Property Group’s newest community, Highgrove, conveniently located just around the corner in Clyde North. “The display village was originally planned to service our established residential community, The Avenue at Casey,” Graham said. “However, all 900 homesites at The Avenue sold out well ahead of schedule so we have had to deliver our latest resident community Highgrove to the market to meet buyer demand.” The new display village currently features 15 display homes from a range of local and national builders including Metricon, Simonds, Carlisle Homes, Premier Homes and East West Homes, with three more homes due for completion by early 2015.
For more information about the Highgrove development buyers can drop into the Sales and Information Centre in Clyde North or call the friendly sales team on 1800 444 447. For more information on Highgrove contact Linda on 1800 444 447 or visit the Highgrove Sales and Information Centre on the corner of Berwick-Cranbourne Road and Pattersons Road, Clyde North, (Melway Ref 134 K7).
“Located at the corner of Thompsons and Stoneleigh Roads, our new display village is purpose-built to showcase all the latest trends in construction and interior design for homebuyers seeking inspiration cutting-edge new ideas,” Graham said. “It offers a wide range of options and provides an opportunity to see and touch all the finishes, fixtures and fittings available to help homebuyers create their dream home,” Graham said. Released to the market in May, Highgrove is currently offering a range of homesite options including 12 premium blocks as part of the Willow release, which features a selection of generously sized lots which are located only moments away from a planned future park. Just an hour’s drive from the CBD in Melbourne’s burgeoning south-east growth
corridor, Highgrove strikes the perfect balance between the convenience of an inner-city lifestyle and the security and serenity of country living. “Clyde North and the surrounding suburbs provide all the services and amenities of the inner-city and with nearby access to schools, transport links, shopping and entertainment precincts, sporting facilities and more, Highgrove really has something for everyone,” he said. Stay tuned for announcements on who will be appearing at Brown Property Group’s two remaining family fun day events scheduled for October and November! The Brown Property Group display village is located at the corner of Thompsons and Stoneleigh Roads, Cranbourne North, and is open from 11am to 5pm, seven days a week.
ABOUT HIGHGROVE With multiple parklands and avenues linking neighbourhoods, Highgrove is designed with family and community living in mind. Everything that could be needed for shopping and schooling is close to hand. Highgrove merges the best of traditional family living with harmonious neighbourhood planning and friendly design. With a strong emphasis on community and open spaces, Highgrove unites four precincts around a beautifully landscaped central neighbourhood park, while smaller parks are nestled within the heart of each precinct. These parklands will provide attractive, functional surrounds for a range of community activities from local market days to casual sporting events or an idyllic backdrop for a weekend picnic. Knitting these parklands and precincts together is a local recreational loop, which is perfect for walking, running, cycling or even rollerblading. The thoughtfully considered layout of Highgrove ensures there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle connected to nature and the community.

WE LOVE IT
DROUIN
This award winning home is well positioned on a 2691 square metre allotment with stunning northerly mountains views. It is a delight to find such a statement home in this location - close to schools and in walking distance to the centre of town. This is a home which must be inspected to appreciate its stunning features and craftsmanship. Patio doors open to the pool deck and an entire wall of curved glass panels and louvre windows take in the view. Three bedrooms and main bathroom are located on the central level. The auto double fronted garage on level three can house four cars but two bays have been turned into a work area which will excite any serious craftsman or artist. Light filled, this space has a solid fuel heater and a four square metre storage loft and large windows overlook the courtyard below. A beautifully appointed office or teenage retreat and large laundry complete the upper level. Below the home and with its own access is a large Colorbond shed which provides caravan or boat storage. At street level, a high rendered fence with remote controlled gates bring privacy to the property and this means that few people would realise the calibre of the stunning home inside.

Council raises toxic stink By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
GREATER Dandenong Council will continue to lobby for Lyndhurst toxic waste dump’s closure despite a rebuff from the state government. Mayor Jim Memeti, who wrote to state Environment Minister Ryan Smith on the issue, said he was disappointed by the reply. He said Mr Smith had made no commitment to closing the landfill nor developing a policy for managing hazardous or prescribed waste. “Since the time the Liberals have been in government, there’s been no other option for a toxic waste site,” Cr Memeti said. “We need to know where the next option is going to be. It’s very important for our residents living near Lyndhurst landfill.” Carrum Liberal MP Donna Bauer confirmed there were “no plans” to move prescribed waste to another site “which is consistent with Labor’s previously stated position”.
She said the tip was “important infrastructure for managing Victoria’s waste”. “Odour has clearly become an increased concern due to residential encroachment resulting from years of local planning decisions. “However the site is subject to strict and ongoing monitoring and assessment by the EPA as well as regular independent environmental audits.” Sonya Kilkenny, the ALP’s candidate for Carrum, did not respond to the Journal’s inquiries. In his letter to Greater Dandenong Council, Mr Smith stated there was a “significant reduction” in prescribed industrial waste deposited at the landfill in the past five years - 49 per cent less category B waste and 80 per cent less category B soil. The government had invested more than $25 million on technologies and innovations to reduce the production of prescribed industrial waste. In March, the council - at
the behest of Cr Memeti - had resolved to write to major parties and nearby state election candidates to state what action and timeline they’ll pursue for the prescribed waste facility’s closure. Cr Memeti organised for a petition by Residents Against Toxic Waste in the South East to be placed at the council’s customer service centres. The petition calls for the government to develop a prescribed hazardous waste policy and cease using Lyndhurst as a toxic waste dump. RATWISE spokeswoman Thelma Wakelam said her group was lobbying candidates ahead of November’s state election. “If they’re looking to get a prescribed waste policy together, they’ll need to look at how the Lyndhurst landfill operates or even if it’s in the correct location, near where people live and work. “It’s another way of angling in on its closure.”

Number's up for maths problems STUDENTS welcomed problems - and solved them - at the third annual Greater Dandenong District Maths Games Day. Keysborough Primary School hosted 208 maths students from 20 City of Greater Dandenong schools on 26 August. “I believe that this maths games day is one of the biggest ever held in Victoria,” acting principal Ian Archbold said. “The aim of the day is promote numeracy in Literacy and Numeracy Week and to encourage young mathematicians.” The students were involved in problem solving, mental maths, constructing shapes with tangrams and strategy games. “Our school has taken part
Teachers Priscilla Graf from Dandenong North Primary School and Beth Carpenter from Dandenong Primary School correct students' work. in Maths Association of Victoria Maths Games Days previously but these are often held on the other side of the city and many local schools cannot attend,” Mr Archbold said. “Three years ago our
maths coach, Peter Murray, and myself decided to organise a maths games day for the local schools in our area. “Over the last three years the numbers have steadily increased.” Keysborough Primary School students Anita, Jennifer, Alisha and Anh Thu put their maths skills to the test. 125652 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS 1149990-EG36-14

Healthy to the core By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS PARTNERS didn’t so much break bread but shared a breakfast banquet of fruits, zesty juices, yoghurt and muesli slices at the launch of Greater Dandenong Council’s community health and wellbeing plan at Dandenong Market. Representatives of the plan’s partners such as Monash Health, South Eastern Melbourne Medicare Local, Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre, Victoria Police and benevolent societies ate together just as they had collaborated on the plan. Public health advocate Professor Rob Moodie of the University of Melbourne endorsed the plan for its holistic,
preventive view of health - one that strives for its citizens to live “healthy, rewarding and socially inclusive lives”. “A healthy and safe community is the core to everything we do - (that) is a very powerful statement for a council to make,” Professor Moodie said. The self-described “preventologist” said a community was safe when its residents were connected. “You can’t have economically viable communities that aren’t safe and connected.” He also highlighted the collaborative nature of the plan. “When we do things well in Australia, it is when we do things together.”

House crash knocks out power A CAR has ploughed into a Springvale South home. The Toyota LandCruiser struck a power pole and a large tree on Mackay Street, cutting power to the street about 8.30pm on Friday 29 August. Springvale police Acting Sergeant Leigh Mackey said the fourwheel drive travelled another 50 metres and careered into the brick house on the corner of Mackay and Parker streets. He said the vehicle struck the living room wall, knocking a television off the wall and damaging five or six stumps. Act Sgt Mackey said no one was home at the time and the investigation into what caused the crash was ongoing.
Greater Dandenong SES unit controller Paul Daniel said this was the second “vehicle versus house job” his crew had attended in two days. A car struck a garage in Dandenong North on 28 August. He said SES members, under direction from City of Greater Dandenong’s building surveyor, used an Acrow prop to support the building brickwork to allow the car to be removed. “Once this was completed, an Acrow prop was inserted to support the building frame,” Mr Daniel said. A United Energy crew also attended the incident, and an ambulance took the driver to Dandenong Hospital for observation. -Casey Neill

Gambling barriers break down GAMBLING addiction in culturally diverse communities is to be tackled under a new program. Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation chief executive Serge Sardo said Gamblers’ Help Services will bring together six agencies, including Springvale Indo-Chinese Mutual Assistance Association, to provide tailored, culturally-appropriate services. The multilingual counselling and community education services will reach out to the Chinese, Vietnamese and Arabicspeaking communities. “Many of these agencies have been part of their communities for 20 years or more, providing welfare and health support service,” he said. “They understand that while the barriers to seeking help differ from culture to culture, some of the common factors include language barriers and stigma as well as cultural barriers like a lack of familiarity with the Western concept of counselling.” Mr Sardo said research showed that the migrant experience could also increase a person’s risk of developing a problem with gambling. “We know that social isolation and trauma are risk factors along with boredom, stress and depression,” he said. The Australian Vietnamese Women’s Association, Chinese Gambling Concern, Arabic Welfare, Victorian Arabic Social Services and Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health are also involved.

TAX Help volunteers from more than 180 community centres across metro and regional Victoria are now providing support to people who are having difficulty completing their tax returns. “Tax Help is a free and confidential service provided by local ATO-trained and accredited volunteers,” Assistant Commissioner Karen Anstis said.
“Last year over 55,000 people needing help with their tax returns received assistance from our Tax Help volunteers,” she said. Low income earners who earn about $50,000 or less per year and have straightforward tax affairs are eligible to use the service. Many of the Tax Help centres also cater for people from non-English speaking back-

They act as mentors for students, make library bags, donate school stationery packs and donate funds for toys and books for children in need at Christmas.

DANDENONG Evening VIEW Club is welcoming women from all walks of life to help those who are less fortunate. VIEW stands for Voice, Interests and Education of Women and the club empowers women to have their voices heard on issues that are important to Australia’s future wellbeing. The organisation also fundraises and volunteers for The Smith Family to help Australian children in need reach their full potential through education. “The sad story is that 10 per cent of Australian children live without the basic education and support they need,” Dandenong Evening VIEW Club publicity officer Brigitte Billimoria said. The club is using Seniors Week, 5 to 12 October, as an opportunity to celebrate its older members’ contributions. Retiree Shirley Constantine
has been a Dandenong Evening VIEW Club member since 1985 and said she’d found it hugely rewarding. “Not just in terms of the impact we have through our fund-raising or by volunteering in Smith Family education programs and working directly with children in need, but also through the lifelong friendships I’ve been able to establish,” she said. “With many VIEW members being older Australians, we have a bit more time up our sleeves to commit ourselves to these activities. “I enjoy every minute of it. It’s a way of giving back to students who are doing it tough. It gives them other options.” But Ms Constantine said VIEW wasn’t just for older women. “While many of our members are retirees, we’re always looking for women from all

THOSE who are looking for a hobby that ticks all the boxes can’t go past model trains. For indoor or outdoor models, creativity, expansion, books, DVDs, CDs and magazines, trains have it all. Hobbyists can be a real Aussie and model Australian trains with brands such as Powerline Models or they can model British or American trains. Model trains are recognised worldwide as the world’s greatest hobby. For those who are not interested in models there is literature, movies, memorabilia, collectibles and computer games. Trains have also gone digital. In Australia there is one place to go for everything trains and it is right here in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne Train World. The store is 40 years young and still going strong. Forget the toy stores, forget the hobby stores, forget the model stores and go to the place that has it all under the one roof. Train World has train sets, locomotives, carriages, rolling stock, track, electrical equipment, Thomas, books, magazines, DIY books/magazines, CDs, DVDs, scenic materials, scratch building materials, structures, kits, tools, glues, paints, electrical accessories and so much more.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Boredom breakout By CASEY NEILL BE bored. This was the advice from strategic futurist Marcus Barber for more than 150 Year 9 and 10 students at the annual Lunch with the Winners at Sandown Racecourse last Tuesday, 2 September. South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) hosted the event with South East Business Networks (SEBN) and South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN). “Boredom is one of the best things you can ever do,” Mr Barber said. “It will help your brain create things. “Turn off the Xbox, put down your phone. Allow yourself time to do nothing. Just sit down and be quiet.” Mr Barber also gave predictions for emerging career opportunities for employees of the future, from building robotic exoskeletons to vertical farming. He encouraged students to find a vision, identify the barriers to achieving it and how to overcome them. “A lot of people live their life treading water, drowning,”he said. “That’s because they don’t know where to go. “Whatever you choose for a career path is what you do for now. “It’s not forever, but you have to start somewhere.” The Braaap Motorcycles founder Brad Smith, Shaun Surtees, Rhonda Neil and Sahema Saberi joined MC and M+K Lawyers managing director James Sturgess on stage to share their

journeys to success. Footy was Mr Surtees’ focus during his VCE studies at Hallam Secondary College. He had no idea what he wanted to do, but his mum was an accountant at Austbreck and his father was a fitter and turner. He’s now 22, has completed an apprenticeship in mechanical fitting and turning and supervises 15 staff as a production team leader at Austbreck. Ms Neil was awarded the Master Builders Association of Victoria Apprentice of the Year Award and Female Apprentice of the Year earlier this year. She took a gap year after graduat-

Sahema Saberi arrived in Australia from Afghanistan at age 14 and has been awarded the Greater Dandenong Young Achiever of the Year award. She recalled going to home from school and crying during Year 9, frustrated she was unable to understand her teachers. She wanted to quit, but her mum urged her to give it another month. She stuck with school, topped several of her classes in VCE at Dandenong High School, has gained a Bachelor of Science and is completing an
Health services for integration A NEW community health care hub is on its way to Noble Park. It will be incorporated into TLC Aged Care’s Noble Manor aged care home in Frank Street as part of a $120 million strategy to revitalise residential aged care in Victoria. The community health care hub will include general practitioners, retail pharmacy, physiotherapy, radiology, pathology, telehealth and other allied health services. There will also be a new emphasis on day respite care to make it easier for families to keep their elderly relatives in their own homes for longer. TLC will also open playgrounds and outdoor entertainment areas in its homes to en-
courage families to visit elderly relatives and use the on-site primary health care services. The local community will also be able to access the centre. Introducing primary care services to aged care homes and opening them up to the community is a first for Australia. TLC CEO Lou Pascuzzi said the residential aged care industry was overdue for an overhaul and innovation. “Integrating aged care accommodation with primary health care is the only way to improve the standard of care while creating opportunities to reduce costs by improving coordination of government funding,” he said. “We cannot continue with

existing healthcare models that are becoming financially untenable for present day government and will only get worse over time.” Mr Pascuzzi said that for residents, the services would provide certainty of medical supervision, continuity of care, reduced clinical errors, better clinical outcomes, greater convenience, and access to a wide range of activities improving their wellbeing and connection to the local community. Medical professionals and health service providers will have access to the latest infrastructure, chronic disease and general nursing support, on-site diagnostic services, IT and administration support services.
honours degree. Mr Smith, 26, has won business and entrepreneur of the year titles after taking his passion for motor cycles and creating a back yard business in high school. Despite numerous setbacks, Braap is now a multi-million dollar company. "It’s important for us to talk about the people we want to become," he said. But he said that young people were used to having things immediately. “I’ve learnt that opportunity takes time,” he said. Students from Berwick Secondary College, Carwatha College P-12, Dandenong High School, Emerson
School, Hallam Senior Secondary College, Hillcrest Christian School, Lyndale Secondary College and Noble Park English Language School were involved in the day. Bailey, 15, from Berwick Secondary College, wants to own a business when he grows up and said the speakers had given him the confidence to do it. “They were talking to our age group,” he said. His classmate Jasmin, 14, said the day made her determined to work harder at school. “It really made us think about choices we make for our future,” she said.
Advertorial
THIS WEEK THE PRINCIPAL OF YELLOW BRICK ROAD DANDENONG, DELWYN RAYNER, BEGINS A REGULAR COLUMN GIVING ADVICE ON WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL MATTERS.
“Hints for First Home Buyers” WHEN interest rates are low, house prices usually rise and first home buyers can feel shut out of the market. First home buyers should stick to a few simple tips: � Deposit: lenders want to see you have at least 5 per cent of the purchase price as genuine savings (generally you’ll need 10 per cent overall). You can top-up with money from your parents or grandparents, but you have to show at least six months of your own savings. Start saving, now… � Savings: set a goal for your deposit amount and save in a high-interest savings account that’s separated from household expenses. Set a weekly deposit goal, use direct crediting and if you’re a couple have one person’s income going directly into savings. � Reduce debt: eliminate or reduce the limits on your credit cards and store cards. Lenders look at the limit on your cards, not your balance. � Grants: the First Home Owner Grant can help with your purchase. But it must be for a new home construction, you can’t use it to buy the land and lenders will not treat the FHOG as part of genuine savings. Do your homework because the grant differs slightly between states. � Income: lenders like to see stability and want to see evidence that you will repay the mortgage. So you should demonstrate at least six months (but preferably one year) of PAYG employment, or two years of financials and tax returns if you’re self employed. � Shop around: you can find variable rate mortgages in the range of 4.6 per cent to 6 per cent. The 1.4 per cent difference, on a 350,000 loan over 30 years, is worth over $300 per month. � Marketing: watch for ‘discount’ mortgages and special low offers. The low rates last for
a year or two and then revert to much higher rate. Always look at the ‘comparison rate’. � Fixed: many first home buyers like to balance their budget for a few years, and a fixed loan creates certainty. However, once in a fixed loan, your flexibility is restricted and you may encounter break costs if you want to sell or refinance. � Variable: variable rates fluctuate with the market but they are flexible, allowing you repay higher amounts and deposit lump sums from bonuses and tax refunds, speeding your repayment. You can refinance a variable rate loan without penalty. � Offset: when you put all your income into a mortgage offset account, the balance pays down the mortgage by the amount you have in there each day. It stops interest capitalising against you as fast as monthly repayments. Offset accounts suit people good at budgeting. � Price: don’t be disheartened if you can’t buy what you want – buy the next-best and build a strategy for your next property. � Advice: mortgage brokers are excellent for insights, strategies and getting you a good result. They’re always worth talking to. Always remember – when borrowing money and buying property, the same basic rules apply to everyone. So do your homework, be prepared, take some advice and go for it.

Award tops season comeback
By JARROD POTTER AFTER two seasons worth forgetting, his breakout 2014 season will be forever etched into Alex Woodward’s memories. Woodward, 21, from Noble Park, continued his stellar 2014 by receiving the greatest nod in the Victorian Football League (VFL) when he won the J.J. Liston Trophy on Monday night. Featuring in Hawthorn’s VFL-affiliated Box Hill Hawks line-up for most of the season, Woodward excelled to earn 20 votes from his 13 VFL matches to lead the count. Putting behind him two difficult years nursing knee injuries, Woodward excelled in his first significant year on field as a senior footballer. A three-vote haul in the final round Box Hill’s 129-point pumping of Northern Blues - pushed him ahead of North Ballarat’s Liam Anthony (17 votes) to take the Liston Trophy. “It was very unexpected but I’m very happy and very humbled to receive the award, it’s something special for sure,” Woodward said. Woodward was on the edge of his seat as the count ticked towards the final rounds, but when he drew level with Anthony approaching the final round and Anthony failed to poll in his last game, Woodward knew he had just become a Liston Trophy winner. “I was equal with Liam Anthony from North Ballarat and he didn’t poll in his last game and I thought I’d won it - or at least won it equally with him,” Woodward said. “Then I polled in the last game - three in that game - to be an outright winner and that makes it even more special.” The pleasing aspect for the 21-yearold midfielder was his ability to string together a sequence of great performances and push towards his AFL debut - which he received in Round 18 against Sydney.
“Consistency is the word that comes to mind - each week was pretty much a learning phase for me... I learnt things from my game each week,” he said. “After each game I sat down with the coaches and assessed areas that I needed to improve on and continue to do. “I slowly did that throughout the season and it was pleasing to see I could string a few consistent things together.” Woodward’s Box Hill Hawks have won its way through to the VFL preliminary final, following a gutsy 24-point triumph over Port Melbourne and, hopefully, he can feature prominently in the last match of the year - whether it is in the VFL or AFL. “Still very focused on what I want to achieve this year - a premiership medal at either Box Hill or in the AFL considering I missed out last year on a medal I’m striving for one of those,” he said. Woodward wanted to thank all of his coaches, the medical staff and his family for helping him get through the rough start to his AFL career. “The Liston Trophy isn’t just a good reward for effort for me, but for all of the guys who were with me every step of the way,” Woodward said. “Guys within the rehab staff - Phil Merriman - I work closely with at Hawthorn - Andrew Russell - the conditioning coach - Luke Boyd, those sort of guys who have seen me put in the hard yards early on in my career and continue to work with me. “Development coaches DC (Damian Carroll) and Marco Bello, Cameron Bruce and Brett Ratten - the midfield coaches - have worked hard with me this year and also my family - their support has been amazing to this point.” Former Dandenong Stingrays’ captain - and Woodward’s Hawthorn/Box Hill team mate - Mitch Hallahan jointly won last year’s Liston Trophy alongside Geelong’s Jordan Schroeder and North Ballarat’s Steve Clifton.
Noble Park junior Alex Woodward added a major accomplishment to his breakout year of senior football earning a J.J. Liston Trophy as the VFL’s best and fairest. Picture: AFL VICTORIA
Last-minute shot shock as clock runs out Professor delivers his punch
By JARROD POTTER
NINE seconds separated South Springvale and another chance at penalty shootout glory. The Football Federation Victoria (FFV) Dockerty Cup slipped from Aris’ grasps 0-1 following a last-second Melbourne Knights’ goal in the final held last Sunday evening. South Springvale and Melbourne Knights could not be split after regulation time with both sides failing to capitalise on a few decent attempts. South Springvale played its strategy perfectly - pushing hard out of defence through the likes of Alex Florea, Dean Panagopoulos and Ali Hameed to stretch the Knights’ backs. The pestering efforts of Florea running down the wings kept the Knights on their toes and he was able to create the first significant chance for South Springvale - with his 17th minute header forcing a strong save from Knights’ keeper Michael O’Farrell. Aris had the crowd’s support with most fans flooding Lakeside Stadium barracking for the yellow and black. The match went back and forth as Dowisha and Aris’ two central defenders - Courail Nassim and Ari Drakos - kept Melbourne off the scoreboard. Bringing on star midfielder Ricky Diaco in the 54th minute - the former
Ali Hameed vies for position against a Melbourne Knights’ defender. 12657 Picture: JARROD POTTER Victory champion started to create headaches for the Knights. He started to push the tempo and generate more attack for the Aris boys and the match was poised to head towards extra time as shots on goal didn’t fall. Dowisha’s best save of the night came in the 84th minute - as he ran off the line to block Stipo Andrijasevic’s one-on-one attempt to take the lead. After regulation elapsed, South Springvale struggled to put a shot on target in extra time before Diaco’s spot kick cleared the Knights’ wall
and skimmed the top of the crossbar. In the second extra-time, legs started to wear out and the bench was called upon. With 12 seconds remaining, Aris coach Bill Lambropoulos went to his bench for one last piece of coaching mastery - subbing on back-up goalkeeper Jordan Gifkins onto the field as a forward ahead of the upcoming shootout. Alas the shootout would never eventuate as Dowisha’s defences were finally broken after two hours of fortress-like defending.
One last cross to the goal-line from the Knights led to a goalmouth scramble and Tomislav Uskok seized his place in Dockerty Cup history as he slotted the cup winner with less than 10 seconds remaining in extra time. “Definitely a good job - Melbourne Knights they were a class above, there’s no doubt,” Lambropoulos said. “Even if we lost on penalties, to lose in that dying moment - only one side was able to do that and that was us. “We can’t take anything away from the boys, they’ve done a phenomenal effort to get us here... we’ve still got one more game in Surfers Paradise... we’re going to enjoy that.” For his stellar match in front of goals, Dowisha was awarded the best-on-ground medal. “A goalkeeper is a part of the team and we counted on him a lot this year,” Lambropoulos said of his keeper. “He’s been our big attribute and we know that.” South Springvale takes to the road for its next major challenge - flying up to Queensland to face NPLQ team Palm Beach Sharks on 23 September in their FFA Cup Round of 16 clash. “Even if we go up to Queensland and lose, we made the 16 in Australia, finalists here (Dockerty Cup)... the club’s been put on the map... it’s been a big year.” Lambropoulos said.
POUND for pound one of the most explosive African boxers in history will make his presence felt in Dandenong this week. The Dandenong Thunder Soccer Club is proud to host the three-time World Boxing Champion Azumah Nelson in an Evening With Azumah on Friday 12 September at George Andrews Reserve on Trewin Street, Dandenong. He is best remembered in Australian boxing circles for breaking hearts as he defeated Jeff Fenech for the WBC World Super Featherweight at Princes Park in March 1992. Nelson will dust off his memories and talk with the audience about his experiences as a world champion as he launches his new book, The Professor. Proceeds from the event will go to Nelson’s foundation in Africa, which encourages young children and gives them opportunities. He has bought land and plans to build a local school. For more details or to purchase tickets which cost $25, visit the Dandenong Thunder website at dandenongthunder@ live.com.au, its Facebook page www. facebook.com/dandenongthunder or call the club on 0450 266 799.

Thought it was all over By JARROD POTTER IT WILL be hard to surpass last week for Bulls’ midfielder Dakotah Binney. Eleven-year-old Binney, from Eumemmering, had just tasted defeat as his Noble Park under-12’s team was knocked out of the finals and he was left without much to do in the last week of the junior football season. But that all changed when he received a tap on the shoulder the week of the grand final. One of the other Noble Park teams were down on numbers and needed someone to fill in for that one magic match - the Under-13 Division 1 grand final - and Binney jumped at the chance. Strapping on his boots at Narre North Reserve, the wily midfielder played up forward and featured prominently in the Under-13 Division 1 premiership triumph as Noble Park 6.10 (46) defeated Narre Warren 2.5 (17). “I got called up to play for the 13s - they said they needed one extra to play as they didn’t have anyone on the bench,” Binney said. “We played Narre and won by 29, it was good to help out and win the match, but it would have been even better if I won it with my own team.” After an already stellar week, receiving a South East Juniors premiership medallion, Binney added to the trophy case on Tuesday night as he earned the Under-12 Division 3 league best and fairest, taking the equal best-and-fairest prize on 16 votes with Cora Lynn’s Ben Coleman. “I thought I wasn’t going to come first - I finished sixth last year - so it felt pretty good,” Binney said. It’s his first taste of league best-and-fairest glory and he’s hungry for more but will have to bide his time playing his beloved basketball until the new season rolls around. Binney wanted to thank his mum and his family, his coach Andrew and the Noble Park Junior Football Club for being a great place to play.

Thunder strike dulls the Suns By JARROD POTTER
Dakotah Binney’s amazing week concluded on Tuesday night as he won the South-East Picture: JARROD POTTER Juniors’ Under-12 Division-3 best and fairest. 126931
DANDENONG Thunder destroyed Goulburn Valley Suns in a 6-3 triumph at George Andrews Reserve in its penultimate round to the season (Round 25). With young Thunder dynamos Keiran Dover and Matt Millar slotting five goals between them, the Suns’ defence was under siege all night. A 5-0 lead at half-time could have spelled complete annihilation for the Suns, but to their credit the visitors fought back to net three goals of their own by the final whistle. The icing on the cake came from Kris Kioussis, netting his goal in the 90th minute to knock off the Suns by three goals. Dandenong Thunder sits 11th and will finish its inaugural NPL season against Heidelberg United on Sunday afternoon from 3pm. In NPL1 results an absolute goal-fest was snared by Dandenong City in a 7-4 win over Whittlesea Ranges. Dario Matkovic rocketed up the goalscoring table with a hat-trick while Damien Miskulin scored two on top of the opener from Shaun Filipovic and an own goal from Whittlesea. Dandenong City has moved up to eighth on the ladder and host Moreland Zebras on Saturday. Springvale White Eagles wasn’t as lucky as they fell 2-3 to Sunshine George Cross on Saturday. After an early George Cross goal, White Eagles equalised approaching halftime through Slaven Vranesevic to level the ledger at the main break. Vranesevic added to his tally upon resumption but from there two George Cross goals pushed the home side out to an insurmountable lead. White Eagles sit 11th and host ladder leading Avondale Heights on Saturday.
One for the Cats By JASON ADAMS A BIG crowd was on hand on Thursday evening at Sandown Park to celebrate ‘Man’s Night’, with the club aiming to raise money and awareness for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and The Big Aussie Barbie. Plenty of men on-course participated in a range of games and activities, with the club reaching their target in raising a massive $20,000 for the foundation. The AFL Footy Finals’ race proved to be the most popular race of the night, with each of the eight greyhounds in race five allocated an AFL team.
Norma Gost’s Lady Toy took out the race in Geelong colours, much to the delight of Cats’ fans. The Big Aussie Barbie is designed to encourage men all over Australia to discuss prostate cancer and be aware of the risks and how the PCFA can help. The campaign is now in its fifth year, and for the first time will be held at all of the 12 greyhound racing tracks around Victoria, intending to raise much needed awareness for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. For more information or to donate, head to grv.org.au.

to five straight kicks away from a grand final, the progression shown by Benstead and the Pumas in short time has been spectacular. “The club is going in the right direction - plenty of quality people here… it’s fantastic to coach them as the players get really close to you… you really enjoy the journey,” Benstead said. “Pity we couldn’t get over the line today (Saturday), but the main point was our effort and our discipline was there for most of the four quarters… I said to the boys I was really proud.” The coach praised the highleaping Taylor Irish, Damien Wilsnach for his defensive marking and Alex Kerr for their stellar efforts on league powerhouse forward James Gough. Lyndale still has one dog in the fight for a SFL premiership as its reserves square off against Carrum Patterson Lakes next weekend from 12pm at Ross Street Reserve.
TAC CUP - semi final
The highs... and the Lonies By JARROD POTTER BOOKING a TAC Cup preliminary final clash in fine style, Dandenong stunned the crowd to record an emphatic 53-point win over Geelong. From all lines the Stingrays fired to leave the Falcons in their wake. The defenders had complete control over the Falcons’ forwards as Kyle Grey, Mitch White and Dan Moloney racked up the touches and marks. While Geelong could get the ball inside-50, the Falcons could not keep it there as Dandenong mauled them from the goal-line and beyond. Pushing through the midfield, Blake Mullane had the ball on a string as he threaded passes to the
forward contingent. The top accolades belonged to co-captain Jack Lonie though - the goal-sneak lived up to his title as he drilled five goals for the clash, including three in a match-changing third term. The Stingrays swarmed to tackle in packs and force the Falcons widely and indirectly to the goals. Dandenong held a 24-point half-time lead, which left the match open for either side to take hold, but to the Stingrays’ credit they wanted it more. The party started in earnest as Lachlan Williams drilled Dandenong’s first of the last term to seal the game. Four more would fly through including a 50-metre bomb from

The Pumas could not catch up to Mount Waverley as the minor premiers kicked away to triumph 14.9 (93) to 9.11 (65). Lyndale coach Rod Benstead stood down as coach after the match - stating he wants to spend more time with his young family - but was immeasurably proud of the Pumas’ efforts to go most of the way against the powerhouse Mountain Lions. “We really competed hard,” Benstead said. “A lot of people thought we were going to be blown out of the water in the last quarter but we kept at them, and kept at them, and with a little bit of luck we could have added a bit more scoreboard pressure. “I know I’ve said it most weeks but I’m really proud - it’s been a fantastic journey for me at this football club… the players have come a long way… I said after the game I thanked the players for what they were able to achieve in this short time.” From wooden spooners in 2012

“It obviously helps when two of their better players aren’t playing, but take that away and our guys have been really focused… playing themselves into great form at the right time and that helps,” Black said. “When the kids have something they believe in… the ball keeps rolling and it carries on.” Dandenong will now face Calder Cannons in the TAC Cup preliminary final on Saturday at VISY Park.

THE stat-sheet will lie about this result. Harder tackling, better from the stoppages and stronger by foot all amounted to a heartbreaking loss as Lyndale could not convert its chances in the forward line and the Pumas fell by 28 points to a faster finishing Mount Waverley. The odds were against the Pumas pushing past the SFL Division-3 minor premiers - coming off a 61-point hiding against the Mountain Lions three weeks earlier - but that did not faze the Halton Road boys early on. Gunning it from the first bounce, Lyndale had the ball on a string to push inside their forward line well and truly over a dozen times in the first quarter. Lyndale’s high-intensity work rate started through the midfield, as the Pumas tackled tenaciously and set up clearances and inside-50s with ease. Early goals came from goal-sneak Trent Day (2 goals)
as he peppered the uprights and tackled any defender that came near him through the first term. Trevor Kumetaitis (2 goals) had his highlight of the match at the end of the first term, kicking a spectacular banana goal after the siren to give Lyndale a onepoint lead at the first break. An early injury to Jarred Henshaw (ankle/leg) left the Pumas down a rotation on the bench and kept the headaches piling up for the coaching staff. The wheels started to fall in earnest after half-time as the Mountain Lions generated their blistering spread. The likes of Dale Tormey and Ben Cox slogged through the midfield to set up the clearances, the Pumas still pushed onwards even as the match started to slip. Lyndale was held together at the death by a solo forward spectacle from Brad Carroll (3 goals) - kicking his bag in the final term after a litany of strong, contested marks from seemingly any aerial battle.
