Shooting stress A RELIGIOUS leader at Numan Haider’s Hallam mosque said his community had been under heightened stress since the 18-year-old Endeavour Hills man allegedly stabbed two police officers and was shot dead on Tuesday. The leader at the Islamic Education and Welfare Association of Dandenong, who did not wish to be named, said he had no prior suspicions of Haider’s alleged interest in terrorist group ISIS. Haider had been praying regularly at the mosque for the past year and a half, the leader said. “He was a very calm and quiet person who didn’t seem a danger to the community or anyone. There were no signs he would do something. “What happened is confusing and shocking. “The community is grieving for the whole family. The mother is devastated, the father confused but at this time we don’t talk about these things with them. “For the grieving family who don’t really know what happened, how their son has been killed.” The leader said it was “difficult to say” if any other young men at the congregation had similar affiliations. “I can’t tell if there’s symptoms but like any other community, our youth needs engagement. “There needs to be programs to link them to the community so it doesn’t create this isolation and vacuum. “I want this message to pose to the whole community: the Muslim community, we are part of the community and we are the same as any community in Australia - some of our youth have problems like

any other community. “Unfortunately our problems are linked to what’s going on around the world.” The leader said the “international silence” over the Gaza conflict last month was an example. “When youth hear this, it may escalate the situation.” Haider’s death is being investigated by the state coroner. According to police he repeatedly stabbed two officers before one of the officers shot him outside Endeavour Hills Police Station about 7.40pm. He was believed to have carried an ISIS flag and handed out pamphlets in Dandenong’s Palm Plaza the week before. The mosque leader said the Muslim community feared repercussions like post 9-11 after widespread media coverage of the recent counter-terrorism raids in Sydney and Brisbane and Haider’s demise last week. “They start to blame the religion. If something else happens with a non-Muslim, it’s not linked to religion.” Muslims already experienced daily slights such as women ridiculed for their attire and school-children for eating Halal meat, he said. “There is a lack of understanding from the other communities. An education process is necessary.” The leader said there was a “very good” meeting between Dandenong police and about 100 community leaders and members at the mosque last Wednesday. He also praised Premier Denis Napthine who said the incident was about an individual not the Muslim faith. Terror suspect had link to Dandenong, page 3.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS TRADERS in Dandenong’s Palm Plaza were shocked that Numan Haider had been demonstrating at the mall days before his ill-fated visit to Endeavour Hills police station. Police said last week Haider, of Endeavour Hills, had been a “person of interest” for several months and was carrying an ISIS flag during the demonstration about 5pm on 18 September. His passport was suspended by authorities last week. A trader, who did not want to be named, said he saw a “physically shaking” Haider being led away by some of a large contingent of police who swarmed the mall. “He seemed to be distressed. He was quiet, a fit, small young man.” “The police were not aggres-

sive. They said why don’t you come down to the station and have a coffee.” Many traders had not seen the incident, nor linked it to last Tuesday’s much more sinister events - in which Haider allegedly met two police officers outside Endeavour Hills Police Station, stabbed them and was then shot by one of the officers. The two officers were hospitalised - one initially critical with head, chest and abdominal wounds. A teenager, who said he was a family friend for the past seven years, said Haider had just returned from Sydney and wanted to “fight for peace”. He was not surprised by Haider’s fate. “He gets influenced by other people. He says he wants to be reli-

gious and stuff.” A trader, who identified himself as Muslim, said “a few idiots” were tarnishing the religion. “In the Koran, people who take these matters to extremes, they’re contradicting their own religion. “It’s a few people who have a bit of knowledge and use it against the younger generation. “They’re a bunch of kids who have nothing better to do. Why is an 18-year-old just finished school worried about what’s happening in Syria and Iraq? Worry about your life! “The police are here to serve and protect.” Another trader said he and other Muslims felt under threat. “I’m scared. (Haider) has been pursued for months.

“This could happen to any of us.” Superintendent David Clayton of Victoria Police’s south metropolitan region said Dandenong police and Muslim community leaders had a “very productive” meeting after the incident. “(It) provided an opportunity to discuss and share experiences and community concerns.” He said police worked closely with local faith and community groups. Public safety was taken “extremely seriously”. “(We) will respond to any incidents of violence or unrest and will prosecute incidents of prejudice motivated crime or racial and religious vilification.” Plaza reviews security, see page 60.

Banks pull the plug on money exchanges By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FOREIGN money exchanges in Dandenong could close en masse after being abandoned by the ‘Big Four’ banks. Mohammad Parwarish, owner of MP Exchange in Thomas Street, said he had been given no reason as one by one Commonwealth Bank, NAB, ANZ - and as of 22 October, Westpac - have closed his business’s bank accounts. He said he had been given only vague reasons for the closures, which similarly affect many of the nine other exchanges in Dandenong. “(The banks) say due to policies we can’t provide this service with you,” he said. “It’s against our policy. “We don’t know if it’s coming from the government side or from the banks.” Mr Parwarish, who has run an overseas money exchange for 35 years, including two years in Dandenong, said it would be harder for refugees and asylum seekers to send money home to their needy families and traders mainly in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. “If these were First World countries, they could probably do transactions with the banks and Western Union. But people live in far villages and Western Union don’t provide services there. “There’s no way these people can afford to live.” He said the business is regis-

Owners of the affected exchanges are set to meet over the issue. “The Australian Government need to step in and force the banks to change their policy,” Mr Parwarish said. A Westpac spokesman said: “As a matter of policy we do not comment on individual customer matters”. An Australian Bankers Association spokesman made no comment. “It is one for individual banks,” he said. This year AUSTRAC released a report on terrorism funding, noting the remittance sector was vulnerable to terrorist exploitation. A spokeswoman said the centre had bolstered registration requirements in 2011 to lessen the risks. It had also recently suspended a Sydney remitter’s licence due to a “possible terrorism-funding risk”. “AUSTRAC is aware that some banks have taken ... a decision to exit remittance sector customers in some circumstances,” she said. Reasons included a bank not being comfortable with “the level of risk that it is exposed to by maintaining the accounts of particular customers”. “AUSTRAC has no power, nor would it be appropriate, to intervene in the making of such a decision by a reporting entity.”

New taste of career options I WOULD like to refer to the refugee youth as part of the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) youth group. At times the term refugee can be used as a blanket statement and assumes there are no diverse backgrounds or further diverse needs based on how they came to join the Greater Dandenong community we now all call home. As an immigrant myself, coming in my late teens with no parents, it was a very stressful time trying to assimilate and simultaneously monitor and comprehend the impact of immigration policy on things like residency, let alone work rights while trying to send money home and keep your head above water. So, as a young person, I recall waking up feeling lost and fumbling around half the time hoping it was the right thing to do. What worried me most was when you would hear from your peers of someone ‘like us’ who had been imprisoned or deported without us ever hearing the details of their situation, and so it would leave you in a constant state of fear of the unknown. On the flip side, one cannot point the finger of blame at the institutions that tirelessly strive to make sense of this diversity, let alone put policies in place to preserve the wellbeing of residents and at the same time cater for the special and some-

time different needs of CALD groups. It is a very challenging and delicate task and one with no easy solution. That being said, I came across this statistic Greater Dandenong has the second highest level of youth disengagement (20 to 24 year olds neither in paid employment or enrolled in education) in Melbourne. I can’t remember exactly when I read this statistic, but I remember thinking to myself ‘this statistic is alarmingly high’. Being passionate about enabling youth and building their capacity, I still want to believe that knowing this reality can also present opportunities for the Greater Dandenong community to band together in order for us to reduce this statistic moving forward. I was not a local at the time of reading this statistic, but by then I had already been involved in a

few projects and conversations with some young people from Burma, South Sudan and Afghanistan and discovered that some of their concerns were very similar to those of youths who had been born here. The added conversations by the CALD youth led to inquiries around the need for opportunities to get a quick paying job so that they could send money overseas to their relatives, who they feel responsible for. This took me back to my earlier comments around the challenging barriers, either perceived or real, to overcome before this can be a reality. So, in a lot of cases I would insist that we focus on what options we have at hand to resolve this real problem rather than surrender to the fact that it’s too hard or impossible to get a job. Putting the question back to the young people, asking them to come up with suggestions and solutions made for engaging conversations and later birthed my reborn faith that, as a community, I believe we can come up with sustainable career pathways rather than selling jobs or just certificates to the young job seekers. I think even re-phrasing our approach from ‘job opportunities’ to ‘career opportunities’ will get the young people asking long-term questions like ‘what do I want to be doing in the next two, five or 10 years?’.

Part of our approach under Leaders of Tomorrow Careers Training is that we mentor our clients by getting them to position themselves as a potential employee and ask questions like ‘what skills do I need to start honing now so that I can be competitively placed, to not only gain promotional opportunities but hold the desired role that can maintain my chosen lifestyle?’. These questions begin to demand them to dive into work experience projects or ‘taster’ initiatives first that allow them to engage in the role and meet potential employers without feeling locked in until all the stakeholders are satisfied. I believe this is the future of practical careers training and it has the capacity to reduce the likelihood of poor outcomes - from accessing government funded courses only after they have an awareness or experience in the industry they want to embark in, to getting real skill development with real employers so that they can translate that with their natural talents. In short, going through a selection and experience criteria first, then choosing which career and accredited career path to embark on really helps the young job seeker to understand what is involved and therefore make stronger self-inspired decisions that reduce the need for outside motivators to keep them engaged.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 1 October 1914 Obituary Mrs JW Swords It is with regret we record the death of Mrs JW Swords, which occurred at her late residence, Hutton Street Dandenong on Friday morning. The deceased was born on 21 April, 1821 at Nenagh Ireland. She married the late James Walter Swords in 1839 and emigrated to Australia in March 1840, in the sailing ship 'Teresa’ (Capt Wood). Her late husband came to Australia under engagement to Mr T Strode of the Port Phillip 'Patriot’ and afterwards journeyed to Portland where he founded the "Guardian". In 1860 he established the Bacchus Marsh 'Guardian’ and in 1874

the Dandenong 'Advertiser’ now the property of his two sons Messers HF and FW Swords. Mr Swords predeceased his wife 30 years ago. The funeral, which was a private one, took place on Sunday afternoon, the remains being interred in the Church of England portion of the Dandenong Cemetery, when the Rev EA Veal conducted the burial service, and Mr JW Garnar attended to the mortuary arrangements.

NEIGHBOURHOOD Watch and police are reaching out to multicultural communities to make Greater Dandenong safer. They launched Project Enable in the Dandenong Civic Square last Friday morning to target culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. “The Dandenong community will identify their priorities and with our support and encouragement they will learn how to resolve the issues for themselves,” Neighbourhood Watch CEO Gill Metz said. “Each group will use the programs that best suit them and their issues.” Southern Metropolitan Region Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius said he had 2000 police officers to help him look after the region. “When you do the maths ... the ratio of police to population is actually quite small,” he said. “Unless we have the community working with us to make the community stronger and safer, there’s no way that police could do this work.” Mr Cornelius said he’d attended a Lions meeting the previous night, and all members were aged over 60 years with an Anglo-Saxon background. “They were working very hard for the betterment of a community that is incredibly diverse,” he said. “While I can have lunch on a different continent every day of the week in Dandenong, I didn’t see any Afghanis. I didn’t see any Africans. I didn’t see any people from Africa. “I only saw one culture around the table last night. “If you want to serve the

Winnie, also known by her traditional name Narrandjeri, was the organisation’s first chairperson and held the position until a stroke claimed her life in 1988. During the 1980s, as the DDACSL expanded, she was instrumental in developing several family support programs including the Burrai Child

Care Centre - one of the first multifunctional Aboriginal childcare centres - and the Aboriginal Family Aid Support Unit. She also played a crucial role in Gunai Lodge, allaying the concerns of the property’s neighbours and working as a cleaner and cook alongside Walda.

A MAN allegedly punched a 15-year-old boy in the face at Springvale Railway Station in an unprovoked attack, and police are appealing for help to find the culprit. Last week they released an image of a man they want to speak to about the incident, which happened about 3.40pm on Wednesday 23 July. The teen was waiting on platform two for a Pakenham-bound train, police said, when a man of Islander appearance approached, grabbed him by the school tie and punched him in the face. The attacker then boarded the 3.46pm train to Pakenham. He’s described as aged between 16 and 20 with a short black beard and moustache, and was wearing a red singlet, blue pants and grey beanie.

1124958-FA12-14

TWO women who championed Aboriginal rights in Dandenong last week received recognition for their achievements. Aunties Walda Blow and Winnie Quagliotti were among 15 people who Aboriginal Affairs Minister Tim Bull inducted to the Victorian Indigenous Honour Roll at a ceremony in Melbourne last Wednesday night. The roll is in its fourth year, the only one of its kind in Australia, and now has 64 inductees. “Raising awareness of their inspirational stories helps the wider Victorian community understand the tremendous contribution Aboriginal people have made and continue to make to our community,” Mr Bull said. Walda, a Yorta Yorta and Wemba Wemba elder, was recognised for her important contribution to Aboriginal affairs in social justice, health and community services. She was a co-founder of the Dandenong and District Aborigines Co-Operative (DDACSL) with her late husband Reg Blow, who was inducted into the honour roll in 2012. They were living in Dandenong in 1970 when they formed the association with others in the community to deliver housing, welfare and employment services to struggling Aboriginal families. It was incorporated in 1975. In 1972, Reg secured government funding to set up a hostel for Aboriginal boys and the Victorian Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs director at the time Reg Worthy asked Walda to manage it. It was named Gunai Lodge and Walda managed it for five years. Wurundjeri Elder Winnie was recognised for her major contribu-

Drunken memory By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS “I DON’T remember. I was drunk.” This was the refrain of a prosecution witness who was warned against perjury while telling a court she couldn’t remember details of an alleged domestic assault against her and a female friend by the friend’s husband. The witness - who had told of the alleged brutality in a statement to police two hours after the incident - faced a dilemma in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday, the prosecution asserted. Leading Senior Constable Renee Bloomfield asked the witness: “You don’t want to be responsible for them being deported to their country?” “No,” the witness said. “You don’t want to feel responsible for something happening to their

marriage because they are friends.” “No.” The accused, David Musa, had pleaded not guilty to assaulting the pair and breaching a family violence intervention order at a party in a Dandenong flat about 2am on 15 June. The witness told the court she arrived at the James Street flat about 9pm but after that her recollections got hazy. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen asked why the witness paused so often and whether she had problems with her memory. He allowed the witness to read her statement before resuming questioning. “I can see you looking over at the accused a lot,” Mr Vandersteen said. “This is serious because you’ve taken the oath to tell the truth. “It’s important because if you

don’t tell the truth other things could happen.” Ldg Sen Const Bloomfield then cross-examined her as an “unfavourable witness”, putting to her details of her inconsistent statement. The details put to her was that the witness saw Musa take a phone out of his wife’s hand, grab the front of her shirt and force her out onto the balcony. Ldg Sen Const Bloomfield then described Musa hitting his wife repeatedly with a closed fist to the head and face. “That would have upset, wouldn’t it?” The witness said: “They were close together so I thought they were fighting.” “You thought he was going to push her off the balcony,” Ldg Sen Const Bloomfield said. “That is what I thought.” “You went to support and help

her as a good friend does.” “I didn’t understand if they were fighting or not.” “But you saw him punching her to the head.” “I don’t remember. I was drunk.” Ldg Sen Const Bloomfield asserted the witness had claimed in her statement that Musa lifted her up and threw her against the window, then pushed her again banging her head on the window up to four times. “Yeah, but he wanted me to understand they were not fighting so he sort of pushed me, to explain to me,” the witness replied. Musa’s wife earlier told the court that she would not testify against her husband of two years. Her statement of events taken by police two hours after the incident was tendered as evidence. The case continues next month.

Best of care By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A $10 MILLION sexual assault support centre in Dandenong keeps victims a long way from offenders. Opened in a secret location well away from Langhorne Street Police Station, the multidisciplinary centre (MDC) houses a 70-strong list of specialist police, counsellors, child protection workers, a nurse and forensic doctors. It is the biggest of four such centres in the state, reflecting the prevalence of such assaults and abuse in Melbourne’s southeast, said co-manager Detective Senior Sergeant Bryce Pettett of the police’s Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team.

“The important thing is it keeps victims and perpetrators separate. We don’t want offenders to meet victims here.” On the ground floor is a bright, welcoming reception area in front of a child’s play room and police interview rooms, including video-recording suites for recording statements from child victims. There are also counselling rooms. Victims - sometimes unsure of whether to report abuse or assaults - can talk through options with a South Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault counsellor. Upstairs are two forensic medical suites and clinics administered by Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine doc-

tors and a Monash Health nurse. It will also be a training centre for MDC staff across the state. Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge said the co-location of nursing and forensic medical services would improve services for victims. “(It) means that assault victims will no longer need to attend a local public hospital to access these important services. “It affords victim/survivors with a level of confidentiality while enabling them to receive counselling and support, as well as speak with police about the nature of the offence they have experienced, all in the one client-centred location.” Details on 8769 2200.

Backyard blitz on high-rises scaping. Car parking, traffic congestion and a lack of public open space due to new development were also major concerns. “Given the response from the community ... it is recommended that (the) council continues to engage with residents in a considered and comprehensive way,” the report stated. The council received 439 community-initiated survey responses and 153 council survey responses, as well as a 93-signature petition and more than 70 workshop attendees. Melinda Puglisi, who has led a resident push against high-rise buildings in residential streets, said the results were “clear”. “An overwhelming number of residents do not believe apartments are appropriate in

existing residential streets and they believe the size of the Residential Growth Zone needs to be reduced. “A large number of residents also believe the height of new developments in existing areas should be no more than doublestorey. It is now up to our council to act on this feedback.” Councillor Matthew Kirwan said the report showed that most residents accepted the need for apartments but only in “the very centres of Dandenong and Noble Park”. Cr Roz Blades said the council was working on reducing the Residential Growth Zone and cutting housing densities in streets away from railway stations. - Cam Lucadou-Wells

THE people have spoken - no high-rise apartments should be built near their suburban backyards, according to Greater Dandenong Council consultation. The consultation report on ‘future housing near major shopping centres’ stated there was a “very strong” response from residents and stakeholders, particularly from those in Dandenong. The report findings stated that many suggested lowering apartment height limits in residential streets and confining high-rise buildings to near railway stations. Many respondents also called for higher design quality for medium and high density developments and better land-

FOR the first time, CFA and emergency services will be coordinating their south-east Melbourne disaster response under the one roof. The $5 million CFA district headquarters, which includes a regional emergency management complex for all emergency services, opened in Dandenong South last week. Police and Emergency Services Minister Kim Wells said the result would be better emergency response capability in the region. The set-up would strengthen ties between the CFA and police, MFB, Department of Environment and Primary Industries, SES, Department of Human Services and VicRoads during emergencies, he said. “This important new hub will be a fantastic resource for

CFA and other emergency services organisations who are the backbone of Victoria’s emergency response.” South eastern metropolitan region MP Gordon Rich-Phillips said the building would bring together emergency management services previously spread across Oakleigh, Dandenong, Pakenham and Moorooduc.

“For the first time in CFA history an incident control centre, a district command centre and a regional control centre will be housed under the one roof,” Mr Rich-Phillips said. Liberal candidate for Dandenong Joanna Palatsides and south-eastern metropolitan region MP Inga Peulich also attended the announcement. - Cam Lucadou-Wells

Wednesday Angela, Kevin and Barry Long on the Journal front page on 26 September 1974 and, below, in 2012. “One of the chaps started dredging the pit with a big stick. “It was then I put my hands in through the foamy stuff and found him. I got him by the jumper. “I was looking at his eyes. His face was stone grey. “I hugged him to my chest and screamed: Christ, he’s dead ... he’s dead!” But a Ready-Mix employee stepped in and performed “heart massage” and “the kiss of life”, and Kevin made a recovery that a Dandenong and District Hospital

spokesman described as a “medical miracle”. Cr Long said children were quick and loved water. “Water is a fascination. I took Kevin to swimming lessons about two weeks after. “We couldn’t take him before that because he had stuff on his lungs, and we had physiotherapy. “He jumped in the deep end straight away.” Kevin, now 44, lives in Brunswick with girlfriend Denielle Gorman and her niece Esme.

A TODDLER’S tragic death in Dandenong Creek this month brought back memories for councillor Angela Long. Her son Kevin almost drowned at age 4. Ishnael Baqaie, 3, from Doveton, was playing in Dandenong Park about 2.30pm on 10 September when it appears he toppled into the creek, which was fast-flowing following heavy rain. Emergency crews found his body the following afternoon, several kilometres downstream near Greens Road. “It really took my breath away. It reminded me so much ... to think that we were so lucky,” Cr Long said, choking back tears. “I know it’s 40 years but you never get over it. It was dreadful. “At least we got our son back.” Cr Long spoke to the Journal to urge parents to keep their eye on children around water of any kind. “People only think of swimming pools for drowning, or the beach,” she said. “They don’t think of creeks, which run very fast. “Even one or two year olds can drown in a bucket of water. “You have to be so, so careful.” The Journal reported in 1974 that Cr Long’s husband Barry took Kevin with him to Ready-Mix in Doveton on 21 September. “Kevin must have walked towards the pool,” Barry told the Journal. “The pit must have been about 20 feet long with concrete walls with the water level 18 inches off the ground.

PRINCIPAL OF YELLOW BRICK ROAD DANDENONG DELWYN RAYNER, EACH WEEK SHARES A COLUMN ON WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL MATTERS FOR THE JOURNAL.

The great comparison rate caper THERE’S something of a home loan ‘rate war’ going on at the moment, which can be great for borrowers. But it also creates pitfalls for the unwary. Take some mortgage advertising I saw this week: it promoted a variable mortgage rate of 4.65 per cent but beside it was a ‘5.21% comparison rate’. Look at the difference: on a $300,000 25-year mortgage at 4.65 per cent your total interest bill is $207,941. But if you pay 5.21 per cent, your costs total $237,198. The difference between what’s calculated from the headline offer and the actual costs over the long term is around $30,000. This type of advertising is a common marketing device. The low interest rate is merely an ‘introductory rate’ which in this case lasts three years. And after three years the home loan reverts to a much higher rate. So given the current interest rate cycle it’s a good time to discuss the comparison rate. The ‘comparison rate’ is a legislated requirement brought in by the federal government. It was introduced in 2003 at a time when ‘honeymoon rates’ were popular and advertised interest rates were not informing borrowers about the true long term cost of their home loan. It’s quite difficult for average borrowers to calculate what they really pay over the long term if they pay one rate for, say, two years and then revert to a ‘true’ rate for the next 23 years. So to resolve the confusion the government mandated a formula that all mortgage lenders must use in their advertising. It includes unavoidable fees and charges, and interest rates

over a set period, which creates the comparison interest rate. Because all lenders have to use the same formula, the result gives a borrower the means to compare the true cost of a loan before they commit to it, and it gives some reality to the headline interest rate. This regulation set by the government is important, but it only goes so far. The key to getting the right loan is for you as a consumer to take this information and act on it. The law says that a comparison rate must be co-located with the promotional rate, and with the same prominence. But a comparison rate is useless unless borrowers are looking at it and registering what it means. In talking to people, I often find that consumers misinterpret the comparison rate as “X” lenders best rate compared to “Y” lenders best rate. This is not at all the case. When you look down the most affordable variable rate loans (4.6%-4.8%) at a site such as RateCity, you see that those lenders with the best ranking have comparison rates almost identical to their advertised rates – that is, the rate they advertise is basically what the borrower will pay. But other loans only start at 4.6 per cent, before reverting to something much higher. Consumers are easily confused by the terminology and practices of the financial services industry. So if you’re searching for something as important as a mortgage, and a comparison rate gives you a chance to level the playing field, you really must pay attention. If you’re not sure about what interest rate you have on your home loan or have any other finance questions call or visit Delwyn at the Dandenong office.

Saddling up By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IRMA Zimmermann of Lyndhurst was desperate to get out of the daily grind and make a difference. So keen was she that the web designer signed up for a 500-kilometre, five-day charity bike trek in Thailand next February - despite not owning a bike. “At that stage, I didn’t even cycle. I didn’t know where to start,” she said. “I said I’d just figure it out as I go along.” The spur-of-the-moment commitment came during a work seminar, hearing about the good deeds of charity Hands Across The Water which is staging the bike ride to raise money for tsunami-stricken orphans in Thailand. Since then she has trained alongside her husband Oliver on bikes donated by Sealy’s Cycles. The pair will ride the trek together, pledging to raise $10,000 between them for the cause. Ms Zimmermann said she was building up her training distances in preparation for Thailand’s humidity. “You have to get used to sitting on that seat for a long distance,” she said. “You need that ‘butt of steel’.” During the trek, the couple’s teenage daughters Gita and Tiana will volunteer at Baa Tharn Namchai orphanage. “I’m just at that stage of life where I want to do something

Hand brake turns it on By CASEY NEILL

HAND Brake Turn has helped to restore an elderly man’s faith in young people. Students have helped to restore a donated 1984 Ford Laser for Cranbourne man Ron McCurdy. The two-time Casey Resident of the Year’s 1996 Commodore was stolen from the Cranbourne Centro shopping centre and destroyed in May. Mr McCurdy was there to collect food for the Salvation Army to distribute to people in need - a task he’s been completing seven days a week for 14 years. “I think they got the kids, I’m not sure if they did or not,” he said. “I wouldn’t do a thing like that to anybody. “It was a real good car. “But, never mind, these things happen.” Mr McCurdy received another car shortly after the incident. “But the head gasket blew and I was stranded in the middle

of the road,” he said. His wife Dorothy has been helping him to continue his Salvos duties. “She’s been in the Salvos a long time, I’m only a volunteer,” he said. The City of Casey recommended he contact Hand Brake Turn South Eastern to make the task easier. Dandenong’s Five Star Automotive supplied a roadworthy certificate free of charge. “These chaps have been absolutely wonderful,” he said. “Seeing what you young kids are doing, it gives me a lot of faith.” One student replied: “I’m glad we can restore faith in humanity for you.” Hand Brake Turn is a not-for-profit Concern Australia program that gives 15 to 20-year-olds a chance to get their lives on track through training in mechanics, panel beating and spraying. It runs five nine-week courses each year and students who complete it achieve a certificate II in autobody repair technology. Hand Brake Turn is at 7 Hilton Street, Dandenong. Call 9793 1466 for more information.

Student David Hayes, 18, hands Ron McCurdy the keys to his new car. 127987

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… AN ELECTIONEERING letter solicited Greater Dandenong Council to support a neighbouring MP’s election campaign, according to the council’s meeting agenda last Monday. Apparently the letter from Cranbourne MP Jude Perera was sent to Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti for a “personal” campaign donation but was filed on the agenda under “registered correspondence to mayor and councillors”. Cr Memeti emphatically told the meeting the answer would be “no” from the council. THOUGHTS go out to a long-time Greater Dandenong garbage collector who was attacked

in a road-rage incident on 18 September. Another driver got out of his car, pushed and tried to kick the staff member as he collected bins in Thomas Street, and the garbo fell and injured his elbow. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic. gov.au with any information. THERE are probably more classy ways to make money. An associate of Numan Haider, the 18-yearold who stabbed police and was shot dead outside Endeavour Hills police station, was last week trying to sell his story and pictures of Haider to media at Palm Plaza. His asking

price was $500. A reporter asked him to discuss the deal over coffee. He said: “Why don’t you shout me lunch?” AFL great David Rhys-Jones made an impression at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Grand Final Charity Luncheon with his honesty and humour - particularly about his propensity for being reported. “Every one of those pricks deserved it, too,” he said with a smirk. IN a match against Melbourne in 1981, RhysJones was reported not once, not twice – but

five times. His club South Melbourne, soon to become Sydney, bought the “young kid from Oakleigh” a suit, got him a haircut and “dressed me up like a choir boy”. He got off the first four charges, but plead guilty to the fifth - striking a runner – and copped a four-match ban. “I never pled guilty ever again,” he said. RHYS-JONES also spoke about the time he flattened Melbourne great Robert Flower in 1987. “It was like shooting Bambi,” he said. See page 60 for more from the event.

KEYSBOROUGH 18 MAYFIELD DRIVE Big Statement. This former Henley display home successfully combines high-end, luxurious elegance with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 6 years ago, Henley built Brighton-level quality and scale into this sumptuously appointed residence, and it’s construction cost at that time was over $900,000. It is 52.75 squares, excluding the alfresco/pergola. From the moment you step into the lobby, you realise you are in a very luxurious space. Rich wood panelling and large mirrors welcome you. As does space aplenty. An elegant open study with extensive built-ins is following by one of the largest and most striking formal living areas you will have seen. Beyond the guest powder room is the vast family precinct comprising large, casual dining and living spaces anchored around the most stunning of kitchens. Double ovens, wide, stainless steel and stone benches, butler’s pantry and more. A beautiful, timber-panelled al fresco is directly off the living area and accessed through a slideaway wall of doors. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and a further living/media room for relaxing and watching movies. The master suite is a true 6 star experience with the best en suite bathroom we have seen and a bedroom-sized dressing room and private balcony. Another bedroom has its own private bathroom, and there is a 3rd bathroom servicing the other 2 bedrooms. The home is fully air-conditioned throughout and comes with a sumptuous collection of high-end light fittings and wall decorations. Perfectly located close to Haileybury College, bus and nearby to all sought-after amenities, this is a stunning yet practical premium home for those who love space, tasteful luxury and being spoilt every day.

NEW HOMES AND LAND

WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER With multiple parklands and avenues linking neighbourhoods, Highgrove is designed with family and community living in mind. Everything 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.

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.

Spice it up - in Turkey ROTARY is offering young workers a chance to change things up - in Turkey. The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program is a cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women aged between 25 and 40. Rotary District 9820, which includes Dandenong, will send a group to Istanbul next April. Dandenong Rotarian Don Cantwell said the district would cover all airfares and families from District 2430 Rotary clubs would host the group. “They would be shown a lot of highlights in the area where they visit and would attend a vocational day per week arranged by host clubs in Turkey,” he said. “The team from here will arrive in Istanbul for an international peace conference on 16 April then commence their exchange proper, which will continue through to about 25 May,” Mr Cantwell said. Call Mr Cantwell on 9791 8670 or 0400 306 311 by the first week of October to express interest.

View from the bottom By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS ACTING out life’s “rock bottom” in front of a theatre packed with strangers - that’s what recovering gambler Paul Fung calls “therapy”. Fung and four other actors dramatise their addictions to ‘the punt’ in Two Sides of the Coin - a one-off production at Walker Street Gallery next month. Fung is “excited and nervous” about his theatrical debut yet in some ways his life had been somewhat of an act. He had become consumed by gambling - “casinos, horses, card games, mahjong” - seemingly every game of chance except pokies. He borrowed and lost others’ money, at a rate greater than he was earning. He guesses about $1000 a week. His losses included his and his brother’s house and more significantly a “huge” ensuing family breakdown. “It’s a big moment of my life, when I’m at my rock bottom. But something had to drastically happen before it became an issue.”

Paul Fung has spun his gambling losses into raw theatre. 128062 But his story took a hopeful arc from chaos through to turning a new leaf and “finding that connection with yourself”. As Fung recovers, he lives in “shed accommodation”, is recon-

necting with his family and heads a Chinese problem gamblers support group. He described the dramatic workshopping of his story as “confronting”. He had discovered the “deeper

issues” behind his addiction and trying to find closure. “People connect problem gambling with money but it’s not the real issue. It’s the emotional side. “The gambler is just another person.” Director Catherine Simmonds admires the “incredible courage” of Fung and the other performers who climbed out after hitting the lowest points of their lives. the collage of stories had universal relevance. “Why do they gamble? If it was just about money, why didn’t they walk away when they won? Why did they stay there 'til they lost?” A Q&A session with Fung and Simmonds will follow the performance. The show is federally-funded and part of MonashLink’s ‘More Than A Gambler’ project. Two Sides of the Coin is at Walker Street Gallery, corner Walker and Robinson streets, Dandenong on 7 October at 2pm. It is free but bookings are ssential.

NOBLE Park student Rivka Bortnoski said Scouts have shown her she can do anything she sets her mind to. The Year 12 was last month named a Queen’s Scout and will next month attend Government House in Melbourne to receive the Royal Certificate from the Governor of Victoria, Alex Chernov. It’s the highest honour youth members can gain in Scouts and it covers four categories - leadership, development, personal growth and outdoor activities and community involvement. “It means a lot to receive the award,” Rivka said. “I know myself that not every Venturer Scout gets to where I am today, and only 54 of us out of the thousands of Scouts this year in Victoria have earned our Queen’s Scout Awards. “It also shows that hard work and dedication pay off.” Rivka got involved with Scouts in 2007 as a 10-year-old. “I had grown up hearing stories of what my older cousin had done as a Scout and wanted to join since I was a lot younger,” she said. She said Scouts wasn’t a hobby.

“It becomes a lifestyle. Most of the things I do revolve around my availability because of Scout events,” she said. “I enjoy the fact that Scouts teaches kids what schools don’t. “Unless you do things like outdoor education in your later years at school, not many people learn how to read a compass or go hiking as young as the Scouts do. Rivka said she’d gained a lot from Scouting. “Scouts gave me a way to come out of my shell and express myself as well as push myself to new limits, all while gaining new skills and discovering things which I used to hate - like public speaking, it isn’t actually that hard,” she said. “It was Scouts which ultimately proved to me that you really can do anything as long as you set your mind to it.” Noble Park Secondary College principal Pam Dyson attended the award presentation. “I was very privileged to be part of the process and made an announcement of congratulations on behalf of the college,” she said. “I’m very proud. It’s a big award. The college is very proud of her.”

Hands-on compost KIDS got their hands dirty and checked out creepy crawlies as they created their own compost last week. Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens hosted the school holiday workshop on Thursday 25 September. The City of Greater Dandenong gardening team, including Samantha Ondrus, pictured below, took kids through the stages and cycles of compost and explained how they could reduce their waste and help their garden and the planet. The event was part of the Greater Dandenong Children’s Festival. See our ‘What’s on’ guide on page 61 or visit www.greaterdandenong.com for more activities.

Stop the bullies DANDENONG South Primary School will receive a $10,000 grant to tackle bullying. It was among 54 schools successful in the third round of the State Government’s Bully Stoppers campaign. The cash will allow the school to set up its own The Block Out Bully program, which will focus on active bystanders and online bullying. Students will participate in a number of activities and events, including creating multimedia work about how to combat cyberbullying to present to parents. Liberal candidate for Dandenong Joanna Palatsides said bullying had been shown to stop within 10 seconds when bystanders took positive action.

GIVE US A HAND

Wicki’s guide to Australia By CASEY NEILL A TAMIL community leader hopes a new guide to life in the south east will make new arrivals self-sufficient. Wicki Wickiramasingham spearheaded the Victorian Tamil Cultural Association resource booklet, A Complete Guide to Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Newly-Arrived Migrants in Australia. Its content spans from shaking hands to setting up a bank account. City of Greater Dandenong provided money towards the publication through its community grants program and launched it at the Dandenong Civic Centre last Wednesday, 24 September. Wicki came to Australia from Sri Lanka in 1988 with his wife and two young children. He’s since dedicated his time to helping other migrants find their place in the community, working as an interpreter and translator, and was named a Greater Dandenong Living Treasure. In his work as an interpreter, Wicki regularly encounters refugees who’ve had trouble finding their way around the rules and regulations in their new home. “When I arrived there was nothing like this,” he said. “I thought I wanted to do something for the newly-arrived migrants through our organisation. I’m one of the founding members.” He said new arrivals encountered problems with even seemingly simple things like a driver’s licence. “They drive without a driver’s licence. I explained how to get one,” he said. “I thought of writing in our own language.” Wicki collected information from various departments and compiled it. “This book is specially compiled for the ben-

Tax file numbers, Medicare, bank accounts, Department of Human Services and Centrelink are all topics covered. English classes and library, emergency and migrant services are also detailed.

The booklet directs readers to ethnic and community organisations, the Australian Human Rights Commission, health and well-being services, community radios and interpreting services. It details how the different tiers of government work, how the education system is structured,

Wicki would like to see other communities produce a similar guide.

Origins helps heal the mental scars of our new arrivals By CASEY NEILL ORIGINS is helping severely mentally ill new arrivals in the Dandenong area to heal and find their place in the community. The program is a partnership between St John of God Healthcare’s Dandenong alcohol, drug and mental health clinic Pinelodge, and community-based organisation Ermha, which supports recovery and instils hope for people experiencing the effects of mental illness. Pinelodge CEO and nursing director Graham Cadd said St John of God, a not for profit organisation, came into the Dandenong community nine years ago. “As part of our community engagement, which is required in a taxation status, we have to put whatever we earn back into community projects for the benefit of the community,” he said. They completed a community needs analysis, including interviewing local agencies. “We had our own ideas of what we thought were the major problems, and we wanted to do something that stood alongside the type of work we were doing in the hospital, which was mental health and drug and alcohol,” he said. “We spoke to the people at Ermha and listened to their concerns about this group that they couldn’t reach. “Their funds couldn’t stretch there, they kept dropping out of mainstream services. “We were very impressed by their engagement at a community level with these people, and the level of desperation that they had to reach a particularly vulnerable group of people.” This group consisted of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community members. Together they established Origins in 2008 to reach them. Origins support worker Mohinder Saggoo said the program helped those

Pinelodge CEO and nursing director Graham Cadd, Origins support workers Paulo Cardoso and Mohinder Saggoo, and Origins manager Peter Veltman. 121475 with diagnosed and suspected mental illness. “It’s about getting them diagnosed to get treatment,” he said. He said many were not aware of services in the community to support them. “These days we are working with people from 12 countries,” he said. Mr Saggoo said post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was very common among the majority of the Origins clients, as was depression and anxiety. “They feel so isolated,” he said. “If they get treatment they can improve their life.” Origins support worker Paulo Cardoso said the program worked on a psycho-social rehabilitation model which was all about promoting independence for the individuals.

“We work with them on their mental health issues on top of practical and emotional support, linkages to psychiatrists through St John of God or Asylum Seeker and Refugee Health Clinic and other services,” he said. “They set up goals that they would like to work on and we don’t do it for them – we work alongside them in achieving that goal, whatever it might be. “It might be that they’re isolated because they’ve got a bad back, and how can we come in to support them and help them by getting them out of the house.” He said family, carers and community members were also involved. Origins manager Peter Veltman said three and a half staff worked with about 20 people in need at any one

time, and between 40 and 55 each year. He said some needed help for as little as three months to get back on track, while others needed support for two years. Origins also has connections with a range of different service providers. “Others might move onto a different program,” Mr Veltman said. Mr Cadd said getting help for a mental illness was only a small portion of the real problem. “Someone is depressed, agitated, lost, they go to the mental health service – they’ll get a short, brief intervention,” he said. “None of the wider and more systemic problems are addressed because people aren’t aware of them, aren’t sensitive to them, or don’t have the resources to address them.”

He recalled one woman who came to Origins, struggling under the weight of holding her family together. But much of her emotional well-being issues related to her bad back. “She needed a bed. We got the money together to buy her a bed,” he said. “That’s improved her quality of life immensely. “She can function within her family. “We’ve got people in a very difficult set of circumstances – newly-arrived, poorly supported, poorly accommodated, poor incomes, limited support, language barriers, cultural barriers – so they get stressed, depressed, apathetic.” He said addressing these mental health issues had wider benefits. “If this woman with the bad back couldn’t function, you’d have more kids on welfare,” he said. “There is the potential to have really significant, ongoing social problems from not getting this right.” Mr Cadd said they’d had independent program evaluations completed, “just to find out if it was helping people”. “We’re pretty convinced that it is,” he said. “There’s a lot more that we can do in that space but everybody’s so unbelievably busy because of the need in the community. “Some days you just get through the day and the week doing the job you have to do without being able to expand. It’s tight.” Mr Cadd said Origins strived to get people able to stand on their own two feet. “The second part of it is interdependence. We have to help people develop healthy relationships in the community to support and sustain them in the community,” he said. “Those two things must go hand in hand.”

Sales trail THE Garage Sale Trail is coming to Greater Dandenong and residents, schools and community groups can get involved. Thousands of households across Australia are expected to hold garage sales on Saturday 25 October as part of the event, which started in Bondi in 2010.

The council’s Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens will join in the fun with stalls from 11am to 3pm. Garage Sale Trail is a not-for-profit community enterprise that Andrew Valder and Darryl Nichols founded to promote re-use, reduce waste to landfill, create awareness about illegal dumping, unite communities, and stimulate local economies.

SAFFRON Grove Retirement Village is building its final stage of 20 new two and three-bedroom units and according to sales manager Phil Glascott they are expected to go quickly. Operating for the past seven years, Saffron Grove is a boutique retirement village at 8 Saffron Drive, Hallam. “We are a small boutique, friendly retirement village in a great location with a public bus stop at our

front door,” Phil said. “What makes us different is that we are smaller and have more friendly residents than most retirement villages. “Also it is much more cost effective to both purchase and to live here.” He said the current units would be the last new units for sale at Saffron Grove and urged those interested in living in this unique community to come along now and check them out.

“You can reserve your own unit for $1000 with the balance on settlement when you settle your own home,” he said. “We are open for inspection Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm. “Feel free to have a drive or walk through on weekends.” Saffron Grove is open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and weekends by appointment - talk to Phil on 1300 669 523.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Dandy grants some wishes By CASEY NEILL GREATER Dandenong businesses raised more than $5000 to bring joy to sick kids and their families. Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce held its annual Grand Final Charity Luncheon at Sandhurst Club in Skye last Wednesday (24 September). Raffles, silent auctions and live auctions – including a $1000 bid for nothing but a tax deduction – supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Make-A-Wish’s Lawrie Leeman said the foundation started in America when a sick young boy dreamed of spending a day as an Arizona state trooper. “They gave him everything they could think of – bar the gun,” he said. “When he passed away he was buried with full police honours.” The charity’s Australian branch was established 24 years ago, to support children and their families “who’ve been to hell and back”. Mr Leeman said the most common wish was to meet someone – like a sports star. Kids also wish to visit somewhere – the Gold Coast among the most popular destinations, have something like a puppy or a tree house, or be someone for a day. He showed a video of young cancer survivor Samuel realising his dream of becoming a Qantas pilot. “It cheered him up just knowing there was a wish,” his mum said. Samuel received a pilot’s jacket and cap at Brisbane airport, greeted passengers and ‘flew’ them to a tropical location in the flight simulator. Guest speaker David Rhys-Jones didn’t pull any punches during his VFL/AFL career – and was in similar

Guest speaker David Rhys-Jones. 127988 form during his presentation. He’d made the most tribunal appearances of any player when he retired, with 42 – 25 to answer charges and 17 times as the victim. It was Essendon that copped RhysJones’ wrath last week over its ongoing supplements scandal. “These players, they were like pin cushions,” he said. “It’s a bad message to send to kids: ‘sticking a needle in you is going to make you a better footballer’. “James Hird shouldn’t coach.

Lawrie Leeman from Make-A-Wish Foundation. 127988

James Hird shouldn’t be allowed near an AFL ground again.” Rhys-Jones played 182 games for Carlton and Sydney/South Melbourne, and won the Norm Smith Medal as the best on ground in Carlton’s 1987 Grand Final victory. But his place in the match almost wasn’t to be. He faced the Western Australian sitting of the tribunal following a clash with West Coast Eagle Chris Lewis. “I said I didn’t hit him. Lewis said I didn’t hit him,” he said.

“The bloody umpire came in and told the truth. “I was staggered when they found me guilty.” Adjudicator Brian Sierakowski told Rhys-Jones that suspensions didn’t seem to be working, and suggested a $5000 fine instead of a three-match ban. ‘WA tribunal disgrace’ was splashed across the front page of the Herald Sun upon his return to Melbourne, along with speculation “some rich Carlton supporter” would pay the fine. “I thought that, too,” he said.

Had he been rubbed out for three matches he would only have played one game in eight weeks and wouldn’t have been eligible to play finals. Rhys-Jones said he was told he’d earn the fine back tenfold if he kept his nose clean. At post-Grand Final celebrations he turned out the lining of his jacket pockets and waited for club president John Elliot to approach him. After accepting his praise, he said he was a little short of cash. “Kid, money couldn’t buy this sort of happiness,” Mr Elliot said.

Conmen are at large Kumho's new distribution centre in Dandenong South.

New manufacturer rolls into town TYRE manufacturer Kumho has moved into Dandenong South. The $10 million state of the art distribution centre in Carter Way is the company’s largest Australian facility, with a 10,000 square metre floor space and a capacity of more than 130,000 tyres.

Victorian manager Leigh McDonald said the site would enable the company to better service customers across the state. "Kumho is continually looking at ways to strengthen its supply chain around the world and our new distribution centre is ideally positioned near

major transport links to speed deliveries and increase efficiency," he said. Kumho Tyres was established in 1960 and today is among the top 10 tyre companies in the world. In Australia, it markets tyres for cars, four-wheel drives, light commercials, trucks and buses.

TRAVELLING conmen have been operating near the Greater Dandenong area. Consumer Affairs Victoria last week issued a warning to residents about shonky tradesmen offering cheap roof restoration, driveway repairs and painting and decorating services. Director Claire Noone said Consumer Affairs Victoria and the national travelling conmen hotline had received recent reports that they were operating in Wantirna South, Blackburn, Murrumbeena, Scoresby, Glen Waverley, Rowville, Box Hill North, Clayton and Aspendale Gardens. She said they often targeted senior citizens, people with disabilities, residents who speak little or no English and full-time mums or carers. “They knock on their door unexpectedly and offer them a deal too

good to be true,” Dr Noone said. “They offer jobs such as gardening, painting, roof repairs and driveway sealing at a cheap rate, putting residents under pressure to say yes on the spot. “Travelling conmen may work within groups and families, offering cheap ‘today only’ deals, asking for cash up front before disappearing, leaving poor quality or incomplete work.” Dr Noone urged people to shop around for quotes, only use established tradespeople who provided written quotes and to not sign any agreement until they were ready. Report suspected travelling conmen to the national hotline, 1300 133 408, visit the national ‘stop travelling conmen’ Facebook page and follow #stopconmen on Twitter for the latest reports.

GPT GROUP, which manages Dandenong Plaza, has reviewed the risk levels for all its sites following the shooting last week of a teenage terror suspect. The suspect, Numan Haider, had been seen at the plaza in the days before his death with an Islamic flag. GPT marketing and operations co-ordinator Ebony Fahey sent out a letter on Friday confirming the group had “reviewed risk levels for all sites and is implementing changes in line with our counter-terrorism procedures and guidance from relevant authorities and industry bodies”.

“We have taken the upgrade seriously and we are committed to the ongoing safety of all our tenants and guests.” She said the review also coincided with the recent change in the National Terrorism Public Alert Level to high. The letter asks traders and staff to display visible identification at all times in restricted areas; report any lost or misplaced access cards; not to provide access to people without valid access passes (ie not tailgating) and report any suspicious items or behaviours to security.

Tips to handle the stress of work Plaza reviews risks MANAGING stress and turning pressure into performance is the subject of the next South East Business Networks Women in Business networking function. Guest speaker at the event will be Craig Taplin, CEO of Mentis Group. Mentis Group operates around the globe specialising in helping individuals and companies perform at their best without the negative impacts of chronic stress and burnout. Working with both local and international clients, Mentis apply scientific techniques and rigour to improving human productivity and well-being. According to Mr Taplin, in a world of ever-increasing pressure, the ability

to perform at your best is increasingly determined by your ability to handle pressure. When stress levels rise too high, the ability to think clearly, make sound judgments and control emotions becomes increasingly difficult. “The longer we stay in this elevated state, the greater the risks to our physical and mental health, which challenges our ability to sustain our performance over the longer term and increases our risk of burnout.” In this fun and interactive session, Mr Taplin will help participants learn some practical and simple techniques to control their stress response so you can be at your best even under the most severe

pressure. Learn to think faster, make better decisions and control your emotional responses for more productive relationships both at work and home. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn something new and take away a practical and valuable tool for use either in the workplace – or your personal life – and enjoy the company of your peers at the same time. The session will be held at 255 Lonsdale Street, Dandenong on Thursday 9 October between 4.30pm and 6pm. To book phone 8571 1576 or email sebn@ cgd.vic.gov.au

The end of the miracle By JARROD POTTER THE miracle run is over. South Springvale was knocked out of the single-elimination national tournament following a late-match strike, Palm Beach Sharks kicking the go-ahead goal with less than 10 minutes remaining. Flying up to Queensland for its Tuesday night FFA Cup clash against the powerhouse Sharks, South Springvale held its own through the first half as the defenders starred. Aris couldn’t make many opportunities for itself, but an early one-on-one chance from Ali Hameed was squandered as the Sharks kept the majority of possession. South Springvale goalkeeper Rani Dowisha the best on ground medallist in the Dockerty Cup final last month - was once again left to stop a superhuman number of shots on target and to his credit he made a number of impressive saves. It all led up to the final 10 minutes as neither side could hit the scoresheet. Looking like extra-time and potentially another penalty shootout were on the cards for South Springvale, Sharks midfielder Jack Boxell put the winning strike past Dowisha in the 81st minute and dashed Aris’s hopes of advancing to the final eight. “It was a moment that will stay with me forever,” South Springvale coach Bill Lambropoulos said. “For me and the boys it was fantastic. “I don’t think we’ll be able to accomplish that again.” Lambropoulos was proud of his charges keeping at bay one of the strongest teams he had seen this year in any standard of Australian soccer. “It was a fantastic effort to hold them off credit to the boys and our staff,” Lambropoulos said. “We gained some momentum in the second

South Springvale fell at the round-of-16 stage of the inaugural FFA Cup. 126579 half and had a chance to make some opportunities. “No words to describe how I feel about these boys - they stayed together and played for each other and they’re warriors. At the end of the day they’re warriors.” Lambropoulos said even following the club’s national-level achievements, it could not push

into the National Premier League (NPL) - alongside Dandenong area teams Dandenong Thunder, Dandenong City and Springvale White Eagles without City of Greater Dandenong council support to upgrade Warner Reserve’s players race, fencing and surface. “We need the council to do the work - if we don’t get the ground, surface and fencing - we’ll

never be able to accommodate the next division,” Lambropoulos said. “I think we have the criteria and would be competitive in NPL1.” It capped off a remarkable season for South Springvale after finishing Dockerty Cup runnersup and sixth in FFV State League 1 South East.

Better than Buckley's chance for this recruiting coup By GERRY CARMAN BUCKLEY Ridges Cricket Club has a happy knack of pulling off recruiting coups. This time it’s off-field. The little club in Pultney Street that keeps punching above its weight in the Dandenong and District Cricket Association has succeeded in attracting the services of the highly credentialed coach and former Sri Lankan player Manjula Munasinghe as its junior development adviser. Manjula, the founder of the well respected and patronized Aus-Lanka Cricket Academy that operates from the Sandown Indoor Training Centre, has committed to the long term devel-

opment of BRCC’s junior players. He set up the academy with former Sri Lankan Test star Ravi Ratnayake in 2005. He acknowledged that another powerful club had shown some interest but he was more attracted by the geographical “challenge” at Buckley because the Dandenong area no longer provided a steady flow of juniors as young families had relocated to the growth corridors of Cranbourne and Berwick. He said he was impressed by what he had seen and heard about Buckley Ridges and would gradually introduce and implement his cricket and life philosophies to the club’s juniors and the existing coaching coterie.

Manjula, who will continue to run the Aus-Lanka Cricket Academy in Sandown, said he sees his involvement at club level, after an absence of 10 years, has “a different challenge” to running the academy. “The basics of cricket coaching are the same,” he said. “The difference is the existing club culture and gradually working within that framework rather than introducing 1000 different things in a hurry. “It will be about introducing good processes and promoting the game in the greater Dandenong area. Of getting parents involved. I see this as a great opportunity to develop the game

of cricket at Buckley and across wider Dandenong.” Manjula aims to have multiple teams in each junior group in the 2015'16 season “and within three years I want Buckley to be the best junior club in the DDCA,” he added. That seems well within his grasp considering his academy has coached more than 500 boys in the past 10 years and that he currently has 100 boys on his books. “And, I am happy to say that last year we had three of our students representing Victoria in the under-12, U-15 and U-17 age groups, and currently we have one boy on standby for

the Australian Under-19 team.” Manjula, now a youthful 42, played for the powerful Singhalese Sports Club in Colombo before making his international debut for Sri Lanka against Australia in the one-day format at Sharjah in 1994. He played 33 first-class matches in Sri Lanka and 17 List A games in addition to five international ODIs between 1994-'96. His best ODI return was 3/30 against Australia at the MCG - his scalps including Michael Slater, Mark Taylor (both caught behind) and Mark Waugh, who he clean bowled for a duck.

It's a Goodes result By JARROD POTTER HE HELD the footy aloft for the last time in Casey Cardinia and now Keysborough’s Ryan Goodes will lead his club in its transition to the Southern Football League. Goodes will take over as the Burra’s senior coach from Chris Bryan as Keysborough exits Casey Cardinia after a 60-year affiliation with the league and its predecessors. With Keysborough’s move into the SFL’s Division 2 competition confirmed, Goodes was thrilled to get the chance to guide the side into its first SFL season. “It’s exciting – I’m rapt to get the

job,” Goodes said. “I’ve spoken to a lot of the boys and the club as a whole is excited and we’ve signed on the majority of the team at the moment.” Player retention has been the major crux of Keysborough’s early off-season plans with Goodes and a number of high calibre players including Tyson King, Daniel Morland, Michael Downie, Davor Rajic, Geoffrey Humphreys and Bryce Sutton signing on the line to stay at Rowley Allan Reserve. It’s a return to the Southern ranks for Goodes after his time as a dualpremiership player at Clayton, and he’s keen to get early wins on the

board and make the Burra a powerhouse in the new competition. “Won two senior flags in Divvy 1 Southern at Clayton and I know what the league is about,” Goodes said. “I’ve been to a few Divvy 2 games this year – it’s very different footy and we’ll adjust our game plan to suit. “We need to be successful, we’ve been down the bottom of the ladder for too long. “From a player’s point of view we need to play finals and work towards a premiership.” Keysborough president Manny Scata said Goodes’ on-field leadership will transfer excellently into the

coaching ranks. “We’re extremely happy that Ryan accepted the offer to coach,” Scata said. “He’s been loyal and his heart is with the club and he’s certainly embraced the challenge as are all the players to move to Southern. “I have the utmost confidence that he’ll do a good job – the players are excited that their spiritual leader on the field is now leading them in a coaching role.” Keysborough FNC will hold its AGM on Tuesday 14 October at the club social rooms from 7pm. All members and interested parties are encouraged to attend.

My Bro good to go for Melbourne Cup AN outstanding performance from My Bro Fabio has secured his spot in a heat of the $600,000 TAB Melbourne Cup. Sent to the boxes as the $2 favourite, My Bro Fabio was moderate to begin from box eight though was given room to muster early. Hurtling around the outside of the field at the first turn, he unleashed down the back straight to take the lead. Powering home over the final section in 10.21 – one of the fastest ever set at Sandown Park – to win by seven lengths in 29.09. Trainer Brooke Ennis was taken by the run, describing the greyhound as a ‘freak’. “We’re hoping for an invitation to the Topgun (run at The Meadows on Saturday 25 October), and he’s perfectly suited for the Shootout. The times he can run are freakish,” said Ennis. The four-dog $50,000 winnertake-all Macro Meats Shootout will be run at Sandown Park on Thursday 6 November. Campapse Will also proved that he’s a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming feature events when

he won Prelude 2 in 29.45. Trainer Norm Walls was pleased with the run. “He loves it drawn out wide and he got the space he needed early. “I’m still undecided whether we take him to the Adelaide Cup or not, I’m just glad we have the Prelude box ticked,” said Walls. We Are Geelong surprised punters by claiming the night’s opening TAB Melbourne Cup Prelude at odds of $18.20. Kennel representative Jamie Karamatic wasn’t overly surprised with the win. “We took him to a few of the country tracks to try get his confidence back. He’d won three of his previous four starts so we were confident of his chances heading into tonight,” said Karamatic. Mepunga Armagh also booked his berth in the heats of the world’s richest greyhound race when he led all the way to win his Prelude in 29.33. The next TAB Melbourne Cup Prelude series will run on 9 October. The winner of each Prelude qualifies for a spot in a heat of the $600,000 TAB Melbourne Cup with the final to be run on Friday 21 November.

GREATER Dandenong’s basketball strength was highlighted at a pair of awards nights in the last week. Players from the Dandenong Rangers SEABL teams and Keysborough’s BIG V team swept their awards nights held recently. While the spotlight shone brightly on NBL-bound Daequon Montreal, Rangers centre Tony Lewis earned the top SEABL honour as the Men’s MVP averaging 23 points and 11 rebounds a game in his best year yet as one of Dandenong’s import players. Amelia Todhunter and Lauren Scherf were named in the SEABL Women’s AllStar team while Faith Probst earned the Defensive Player of the Year award. Dandenong’s senior coaching duo Darren Perry and Larissa Anderson won their respective Men’s and Women’s Coach of the Year accolades. Backing up the SEABL effort were the Keysborough Cougars’ Big V representatives, with a number of Cougars making All Star Five and earning individual honours. Eric Miraflores starred in his first season for Keysborough and earned the honour of starting point guard in the Division 2 AllStar Five. Keysborough’s success continued in the Youth League 2 Men as the champions earned their applause on the awards night. Staci Richardson was named MVP for the competition and was listed in the All Star Five as a forward alongside team-mate Matt Walker (centre). Jamal Talo earned the Defensive Player of the Year award to go along with his Golden Hands trophy and coach Craig Smethurst signed off on his time in the Youth Men’s system as its Coach of the Year. Dandenong’s Sophie Tarabolsi and Geraldine McCorkell were both named in the All Star Five for the Victorian Youth Championship Women’s competition.
