Covering Endeavour Hills, Doveton & Hallam
All this glitter is a history of Christmas gold...
Nights of light AFTER 20 years as a beacon of festive cheer, Doveton’s most famous Christmas-light house is facing its final curtain. For the last time visitors will see the array of comical wooden cut-out elves, the candle made of a multitude of globes, the soaring reindeer sleigh and the toppled Santa on the Power Street home’s roof. There is also the enchanting snow scenes among kangaroo paws, the well-worn climb-on wooden fire truck and luminous window displays etched in so many people’s memories. Gone too are the basket of free candy canes and the 1000-odd gift bags of sweets and books that are given away to children – for some their only Christmas gift. The fancy-dress clothes, the Elmo and Cookie Monster noughts-andcrosses, the Christmas stories and activities – each element added to year on year – will soon be no more. It’s the end of an inter-generational tradition where those who visited as children later bring along their children and their children’s children. They come in their hundreds every night in December. Sadly Ruth Murray, now wracked by arthritis, and her daughter Jenny Colvin just can’t sustain their wonderland beyond this coming Christmas Day. But the pair could be said to have gone out with a bang. This year’s celebration started with

a rollicking backyard party complete with live band and five sizzling barbecues on 1 December. It drew strangers and neighbours together until late in the night. “I’m still getting over that one,” Ms Murray said ruefully. Ms Murray modestly started this extravaganza, cutting out a character or two out of her imagination and installing them in her front yard. Community interest grew and so too Ms Murray’s creative fervour. So prolific is her art that it takes two months to unpack and set up her magical world.
“Everything I thought of during the year, there’d be a spot for it,” she said. For the pair, they are comforted with wonderful memories, such as the toddler who crawled into the nativity scene and was found curled in sleep. Of course, the party is not over yet. Expect a couple of visits from Santa on 23 and 24 December, 8pm to 10pm. The end will come when the Sleeps to Go sign winds down to zero. Each installation will be packed up and given away to grateful families. Over coming days, it’s left for the rest of us to savour this piece of community gold before its glitter goes.

You may remember Council adopted the Endeavour Hills Community Precinct Master Plan in July this year. Plans for stage one of these works are well under way.
There are a lot of exciting developments in the Four Oaks Ward pipeline, one of which includes the Heatherton Road Mixed Use Precinct Development Plan.
It has been a pleasure to SFQSFTFOU .BZmFME 8BSE throughout 2014 and I look forward to working with you all in the New Year.
A concept is being developed for the town square and kiosk and Council is working towards a mOBM EFTJHO BOE ESBXJOHT SFBEZ for construction tendering.
This critical plan has been revised, and will be on exhibition in the New Year for the community to review.
It is wonderful to see a project so close to my heart and so needed in the community start becoming a reality. 8IFO NZ TPO XBT mSTU diagnosed, I learned of an inclusive play space in Hawthorn and hoped that one day, we would have an inclusive play space here in Casey. We turned the sod for Livvi’s Place, at Marriott Waters on 3 December 2014, coinciding with the International Day of People with a Disability. The inclusive playspace will provide much needed infrastructure for children with a disability, their friends and their families. I am very proud of Bec Ho and Therese Howell from Touched by Olivia Foundation, and Council for committing to this project, and the wonderful supporters and sponsors who have so generously contributed. Touched by Olivia Foundation have raised almost $200,000 through grants, corporate and community donations. The playspace is expected to open in April 2015, and progress can be followed on Facebook; www.facebook.com/groups/ GSJFOETPnJWWJTQMBDFDBTFZ Congratulations to Touched by Olivia Foundation who were recently awarded a National Disability Award in the category ‘Improving Inclusive and Accessible Communities’.
I will keep you updated on the progress of this exciting plan. At a Council meeting on 2 December, Cr Crestani and I raised an item of urgent business SFMBUJOH UP B mSF BU UIF &OEFBWPVS Hills Secondary College stadium. We have requested a report and subsequent strategy be developed by early 2015 regarding; activation of the site, provision of extra space for community use, and prevention of vandalism and anti-social behaviour. The report will detail Council’s progress regarding two soccer pitches on the site. We have also requested Federal and State Members of Parliament be made aware of the community’s safety concerns at the site. I hope you all enjoy a Merry Christmas with your loved ones and I look forward to representing you in 2015.
The Plan will improve the Heatherton Road precinct, by:  Providing for medium to higher density housing close to existing services.  Creating long term job opportunities within the activity centre.  Considering ways to minimise impact on surrounding residential properties.  Linking existing retail services to B GVUVSF SFUBJM BOE PGmDF IFBSU  Improving connectivity and accessibility within the precinct.  Creating an important visual gateway to the suburb of Endeavour Hills at the corner of Heatherton Road and Hallam North Road. Keep an eye out on Council’s website for your opportunity to view this development plan. As we near the end of the year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Casey residents, a very Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.
With the warm days and balmy nights, summer is a great time to get outdoors and participate in some of the wonderful community activities on offer. Tune up your singing voice and come along to the Cranbourne Carols on Saturday 20 December, from 6.00 pm at Lawson Poole Recreation Reserve, 101 Lesdon Avenue, Cranbourne. It’s a free event for the whole family and a great way to get in the Christmas spirit. On Australia Day why not learn a little bit more about Casey’s cultural heritage and join in the celebrations at the “Passport to Casey’s Cultural Heritage Showcase�? It’s a free family event and you can enjoy a free sausage sizzle, food tastings, traditional music/ dances, drumming, children’s activities and much more. The exciting event will take place at the Balla Balla Community Centre, Berwick-Cranbourne Road, Cranbourne East from 11.00 am.

The Academy is unique within Australia and provides intense tuition in all aspects of the Country Music Industry as well as advice on career pathways and development. This is an incredible opportunity for one of Casey’s talented young performers. The Mayoral Charity Concert will also feature other local performers including Cathy Dobson, Nia Robertson, Chris Newman, Journeybound, Jay Bruce and Tara Dowler. Tickets are $10 at the door and I hope that I see you there. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

Heart shock and awe
Thanks to all for a great year
By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A DOCTOR responsible for fitting a Doveton man with a revolutionary new defibrillator that delivers lifesaving shocks without the need for electrical leads to enter the heart, has praised the technology. Mark Heenan, 53, underwent the special heart operation at Monash Heart Clayton last Tuesday, which saw the Doveton resident become the first man in Australia implanted with the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD), to protect him against the risk of cardiac arrest. The new defibrillator, already available overseas but only approved by the Australian Government this month, is seen as a significant advantage for patients because it avoids the risk of lifethreatening infections that could travel directly to the veins and heart through electrical leads. The subcutaneous defibrillator was implanted just below Mr Heenan’s armpit, with the electrical lead inserted under the skin and along his breast bone. Mr Heenan, who is already on heart medication, agreed to the operation after he was recognised by doctors as being at risk of having an electrical fault in his heart. Monash Heart electro physiologist Emily Kotschet said the new technology significantly reduced the risks associated with regular defibrillators. “The risk during the procedure is less because the actual implant has less risk – normally you have to poke around with a needle to find the vein to the heart and now you don’t have to do this,” she said. “And in the long term, you don’t have the risk of having a lead in the heart the lead can sometimes break and often can’t be pulled it out, so it’s stuck there.
From left, nurse Michael Romero, cardiologist Jeff Alison and Mark Heenan, from Doveton. “This operation was made available for us to do and we’re innovative and we wanted to try it.” But Dr Kotschet noted that the subcutaneous defibrillator would not always be suitable. “It’s not for every patient, it’s what
we call a shock box, it gives a cardiac shot like the ambulance would,” she said. “But it can’t do all the fancy pace maker work, it’s a simplified version but a number of patients who need a defibrillator just need the shock box.”
Mr Heenan underwent the surgery for an hour and was required to stay overnight at Monash Heart as a precaution. “He’ll have a week off work and then he’ll be back paying taxes,” Dr Kotschet said.
THIS is the last edition of the Journal News for 2014. The Journal News was created specifically to cover news and events in Doveton, Eumemmerring, Hallam and Endeavour Hills, while also taking a regional look at issues in both the City of Casey and the City of Greater Dandenong. Among the events that have made news this year was the dramatic shooting of a young Muslim extremist at the Endeavour Hills Police Station, the mysterious murder of Rani Featherston in Doveton and the ongoing challenge to support asylum seekers and refugees. There have also been stories of hope, of great achievement and of incredible generosity on the part of individuals and organisations within the community. We hope readers have enjoyed their weekly Journal News and we look forward to bringing you more news and events as they happen in 2015. The first edition of the Journal News in 2015 will be published on 12 January. In it we will take a look back at 2014 and also announce our Person of the Year. On behalf of the team at the Journal News I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy and safe new year. – Narelle Coulter, editor

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY councillor Rafal Kaplon has ramped up his calls for the neglected Endeavour Hills Secondary College site to be put to use again, after a suspicious fire destroyed the former school’s disused gym last month. Cr Kaplon pushed for the Amalfi Drive facility to be put to “community use” as quickly as possible at a council meeting this month, with a strategy plan now to be presented by the first meeting in February. Police are still searching for a man seen fleeing from the fire on Thursday 20 November at the former Endeavour Hills high school gym, which the City of Casey has a partial stake in. In July Labor pledged to provide Hallam Senior College’s Sports Academy with partial access to the old campus, which shut down in 2012, if it won the state election. At the time Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said an ALP Victorian Government would autho-
Firefighters and police were called to the former Endeavour Hills Secondary College site last month where a suspicious fire destroyed the old gym building. 131228 Picture: KEITH PAKENHAM (CFA) rise the Department of Education to hand over the site’s gym, now ruined by the fire, and oval. But Cr Kaplon said Hallam Senior College’s potential use of the
old facilities was a “long-term project”, and called for the site to be put to immediate use to deter vandals. “I wanted to push the council further that these buildings have to
be used or more acts of vandalism will occur. We lost a major asset,” he said. “The destruction needs to be stopped. “Let’s get the building used and prevent vandalism and provide a much-needed community space.” Cr Kaplon also asked for a report to be put together on the “financial implications” to council after the old gym was torched. Mr Donnellan said it was too early to tell how the fire would affect Labor’s pre-election promise, but he re-iterated Hallam Senior College would still be gaining partial access to the site. “Nothing’s going to change, there’s no change to policy full stop,” he said. “The school will get access to the site for sporting uses.” Low enrolments led to the closure of Endeavour Hills Secondary College two years ago, one of the smallest and oldest high schools in the region.
Santa stitched up to spread happiness By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE Endeavour Hills Neighbourhood Centre is doing everything it can to bring some Christmas cheer to the community in 2014. This year the knitting and crochet group from the Endeavour Hills Uniting Care Neighbourhood Centre has again been creating and donating more than 200 knitted items for those less fortunate, in time for the festive season. A range of blankets, knitted toys and children’s jumpers have been donated to the local Andrews Centre, Cornerstone, the Guardian Pharmacy Angel Program and the Knit One Give One (KOGO) group. The women involved in the knitting team are in their fifties to their early seventies and meet every Wednesday afternoon during the school term. “The ladies have done a magnificent job donating their time and materials, and their efforts are very much appreciated,” Endeavour Hills Neighbourhood Centre manager Bev Lamont said. “Since October they have made another 29 Santas, 64 knitted bears and 17 children’s jumpers. “We are very proud of their generosity and community spirit.” Ms Lamont said the group started as a social gettogether, but quickly became a platform for the volunteers to give back to those who needed it most in the community. And those people for who Christmas is otherwise is a difficult time. “It’s really rewarding and the group had really bonded,” Ms Lamont said. “They support each other.” The group encourages new members who love to knit and crochet, or those who would like to learn. The cost is $3 per session, with tea and coffee provided. Donations of eight-ply wool are greatly appreciated. For more information, contact the Endeavour Hills Neighbourhood Centre on 9700 3789.

Depression spirits always high at our place JACK JOHNSON IS THE AUTHOR OF WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES, A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN DANDENONG, HIS YEARS TENDING TO THE CITY’S PIPES AND DRAINS AS A PLUMBER AND BRINGING UP A FAMILY WITH WIFE FRANCES IN THEIR BELOVED HOME IN MACPHERSON STREET. I WAS about four years old when dad first became the Council Traffic Officer at the Dandenong Market. My brother Nipper and sister Jinnie were both at school so on Tuesdays it was my job to go from our home at 88 McCrae Street down to the market with dad’s lunch. It was no easy task for a four-yearold to carry a billycan of hot tea and a basket with sandwhiches and enamel mugs. I would sit with dad on a rough red gum seat near the council storage yard, just near the large open brick drain. Farmers, stall holders and stockmen from the two markets would come by to talk to dad and they would pat me on the head and say: “So this is one of the kids you are so proud of.” Three-quarters of a century later
JACK LOOKS
BACK
JACK JOHNSON
while standing on almost the same spot attending an Anzac memorial service, I would have an extremely emotional and spiritual experience remembering my dad. We did not consider just this house at 88 McCrae Street as our place. We thought of the whole town and its miles of surrounding grasslands and bush as our place. We were in the middle of the greatest depression Australia and the world
Jack Johnson, right, with his dad Fred and younger brother Bill. had ever experienced and even through we lived in dire poverty, we were rich in spirit. There was nothing more exciting than spotting a new beer bottle hidden
in the long grass, its amber glass shining like a nugget of gold in the early morning sunlight. The thought that if you collected enough of them at a ha’penny each, even in Depression times, you could be a big spender at our favourite lolly shops like Mrs Driver’s in Foster Street opposite New Street, where we bought chewing gum which came with colourful football and cricket swap cards. They cost a ha’penny each. Nipper and I barracked for Carlton and dad liked South Melbourne. If money was burning a hole in our pocket we would strut around Gilpin’s Emporium, on the site of Melba House in the main street. It was a fairly new concept in retail shopping and one of the first shops to have an island glass display window at
its front. We knew if we spotted some new novelty or a game of snakes and ladders, ludo, drafts of Chinese checkers, we had a good chance of being able to afford them. Gilpin’s was the first shop where we could buy square white elastic for our gings (a child’s catapult) and shanghais. We got the ammunition for our slingshots when we went fishing in the old Centennial Brick Works clay pits lagoon. We would reach through holes in the wire mesh fence into the drums full of round steel pellets which had been punched out of the steel plate to fit the tynes or spikes of the harrows. We never managed to hit a rabbit with our gings at the Police Paddocks, but we did dent a lot of tin cans.
should not be left in cars on a hot day. “We are now entering what we call the “Silly Season” with the hot weather now upon us and parties leading up to Christmas. Alcohol plays a major part in the cases the Ambulance Service is called to,” Mr Hyatt said. He also said people should have a merry Christmas, but if they planned to drink they should get a taxi, designate a driver or drink moderately.
nong's new peace group. Mr Kunjumon, who came to Australia on a skilled migrant’s visa in 2008, has signed on as the newly formed Greater Dandenong People for Peace group’s secretary. “I was a social worker back home, in church related community service. As part of my social responsibility I thought of supporting the group.” The group is the brainchild of retired horticulturalist Robin Bliss, the group elected a committee and is in the process of becoming a incorporated.

Shipments for the Second Expeditionary Force can be made up to December 15th; all work should therefore reach the depot no later

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD BRUCE Austin stood atop the lookout, gazed over the City of Casey, and prayed. Only a few months earlier, in 2010, the father of four had suffered a catatonic episode brought on by severe stress and depression. The then 50-year-old stood on the lookout in Berwick’s Wilson Botanic Park and knew his life would continue to slip away unless he changed something. “I crashed in December 2010, I was spent,” he said. “I was crumbling 10 years earlier than that but battled on for 10 years, and then crashed. The crash ended up with me being carried off in an ambulance and in a psych ward. “Then I had to put in a plan to recover. And I’m still in recovery, because it takes you decades to get to that place and it’s not a quick fix to get out.” Desperate to get back on his feet, Bruce - now the program co-ordinator for the ground breaking new youth mental health program Y4U2 - was encouraged to engage in daily exercise as a means of mitigating his depression and found himself volunteering at Casey ARC in Narre Warren. With the help of the gym, Bruce’s insight into the world of mental health saw him this year launch the Y4U2 program for atrisk youth at Berwick College. Y4U2 ran as an eight-week program for 17 Year 10 to 12 students who felt they would benefit from extra support in the form of life coaching, exercise and activities.
Bruce Austin, a Casey ARC volunteer, is helping to change the face of youth mental health after his own battle with depression. Picture: ROB CAREW Each session ran for 90 minutes and included group fitness classes delivered by Casey ARC YMCA in addition to a weekly presentation delivered by a dif-
ferent mental health professional each time. The overwhelmingly positive feedback on this year’s program will see it run again in 2015, this time at both Berwick
College and a second school still to be decided. “Chris (then Casey ARC manager) came to me and said there was clearly a need in the
community,” Bruce said. “We know there’s a lot of big players out there, there’s Headspace, there’s Beyondblue but we all need to start trying to nail this thing because of what’s happening with mental health. “So why don’t you go and see if you can do something else? “He, basically, gave me a mandate and said, go and see what you can do, if you’ve got the time, so I did some research and we identified a strong need was in the high school area - kids dealing with self-harm and suicide issues, mental health and well-being.” Y4U2 launched in the second term of 2014, after Bruce spent two years researching how best to operate the program. A team of 30 volunteers helped run Y4U2, which was awarded for ‘program excellence’ by the YMCA. “In 2016 we’re planning for me to mentor someone who can be another program co-ordinator. And from there it can just multiply,” Bruce said. “The YMCA centres seem to be the obvious place to do it. Because out there every YMCA has access to Beyondblue, every YMCA has access to Headspace, everyone has access to their local council youth workers - it’s a reproducible model.” Now when Bruce walks through Wilson Botanic Park, the grass is that little bit greener. “When you give, you receive,” he said. Those in need of immediate assistance, or who need to talk to someone they can trust, can phone Lifeline on 131 114.
Million bucks wallet find A DANDENONG man was a multi-millionaire for a week without knowing it. The TattsLotto winner, who wants to remain anonymous, carried the 29 November draw division one-winning ticket in his wallet for a week, unaware it had secured him more than $2.1 million. “I usually check my TattsLotto ticket on a Monday but last week I didn’t get the chance,” he said. “My wife and I have had a rough couple of years so this is going to change our world. “This TattsLotto windfall means we can look after our whole family and take a welldeserved holiday.” The winner bought the 36-game QuickPick entry at Dandenong Plaza Lotto.

Gifts ease the strain By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CHRISTMAS is not always a pleasant time for those in Casey who may have no family to turn to nor money to buy gifts. But it’s in this bleak reality that Windermere and the local community rallies to help the underprivileged living throughout the south-eastern municipality. Case managers from Windermere Narre Warren came together last Thursday to collect hundreds upon hundreds of gifts and hampers which were donated by the community to be distributed to the family service provider’s clients just in time for Christmas. Local businesses, schools, community groups and individuals dug deep over the past two months, donating more than 800 gifts and 150 hampers to Windermere’s Merry Mission appeal. Windermere CEO Lynette Buoy commended the selflessness shown in spades by the Casey community. “Many local families are feeling the strain of everyday living and will find it tough to
celebrate the festive season with the presents and hearty meals that many of us take for granted,” she said. “Christmas should be a time for giving and our community are known for their compassion and support of those less fortunate. “This has once again been proven by the overwhelming generosity shown during this year’s campaign.” Dr Buoy reiterated the donated gifts and hampers went a long way to bringing joy to many local children and families this Christmas. Groups that donated to the Merry Mission appeal included Beaconhills College, Lyndhurst Primary School, The Inner Wheel Club of Berwick, Tirhatuan Park Golf Club, Target Mornington, Berwick Woodworkers Club, Dandenong Valley Historic Car Club, Commonwealth Bank, BJT Business Advisors and Ber- Windermere’s Carrie Simmons and Vicky Coughlan-Ward getting ready to distribute the donated wick Motor Group, among many gifts to those less fortunate in the City of Casey, just in time for Christmas. 132351 others.

City of Casey plans a spectacular 20th party THE City of Casey will today (Monday) celebrate its 20th birthday in spectacular fashion. The community will come together to celebrate the first two decades of Casey Council’s existence, with a number of social media campaigns launched for the special anniversary. Mayor Mick Morland, a Casey stalwart,
reflected on the municipality that has meant so much to many people over a number of years. “As a long time Casey resident and active volunteer, I have been proud to serve the community as both councillor and mayor throughout the last 20 years, including on the inaugural council elected in March 1997,” he said.
“This was an exciting time for Casey. We were a progressive council and a growing city – and this growth has typified Casey’s first two decades. “Meeting the needs of a growing community, and planning for the future means there are a lot of milestones to reflect on over Casey’s first 20 years, such as the
opening of the Casey ARC and Casey RACE, when motorcycle champion Mick Doohan waved off the Cranbourne GP Run, the opening of Casey Fields and the Olympic Torch Relay which came to Casey.” Cr Morland also said the City of Casey was the eighth fastest growing municipality in Australia.
Casey Council is urging the community to watch the ‘Casey is Happy’ music video and to share it on Facebook, while the celebrations can also be publicized on Instagram by searching ‘CityofCaseyCouncil’ and by using the hashtag ‘#Casey20’. For details, visit www.casey. vic.gov.au/casey20.

Sights set on gun selfies By LACHLAN MOORHEAD POLICE are still searching for eight guns which were alleged stolen from a Berwick house last month. It is believed a burglar broke into the garage of the Brent Close home overnight on Friday 21 November. They originally removed 10 guns from a large safe, before taking a smaller safe containing another firearm. But the smaller safe, along with two firearms, was recovered nearby, while eight guns remain missing. Police have provided a photo of the missing guns. Investigators are keen to
hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area at the time of the burglary, or who may have any knowledge of the whereabouts of the firearms. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or log into www. crimestoppersvic.com.au. The theft comes as police have warned firearm owners this week to avoid publicising their ownership, after a spate of social media activity involving firearm ‘selfies’. Senior Sergeant Andrew Armstrong said people were recklessly advertising their firearm ownership without considering the consequences.
“This behaviour is concerning. Some criminals trawl social media networks looking for easy targets and items of interest - including ammunition and other weaponry,” Sen Sgt Armstrong from Victoria Police Licensing and Regulation Division said. “It’s easy enough to gather personal information through public profiles or unsecure accounts. “Licence holders need to be responsible. “Any public display of firearm ownership including stickers on vehicles or house windows can encourage unwanted attention from thieves.” Sen Sgt Armstrong said po-

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… COUNCILLOR Maria Sampey dropped a metaphoric bombshell at last week’s City of Greater Dandenong council meeting revealing why the civic centre’s underground car park was closed to the public in recent weeks. She asked why the area had been assessed as a “security risk” and “are terrorists going to bomb the building?” CEO John Bennie said there were “increasing concerns” about the security of public buildings in Australia but no “imminent threat”. The car park is expected to remain closed - to all but council staff
and councillors – this month while a “safety and security” audit is completed. SPRINGVALE Senior Sergeant Alan Dew took to the mighty Murray last month to build relations with Indigenous youths. He took part in the five-day Massive Murray Paddle alongside young people from Dandenong and District Aborigines Co-Operative. "I think that the kids and the police and the Aboriginal elders started off slow but by the end of the week they really bonded together," he said. The police were more hu-
manised to the kids and the police probably had a better understanding of some of the situations that the kids come from. TRAFFIC came to a standstill on the Monash Freeway last Tuesday near the Hallam Bypass after emergency crews were called to a car accident. Drivers in the outbound lanes were hitting the brakes constantly for a good half hour as they slowly crept up the freeway. This included one selfless Journal News reporter, on his way to a job, who kindly let two cars in front of him at separate times, but was
offered no wave of gratitude from either in return. Is it too much to ask for a simple wave? Even a raising of a finger off the steering wheel would have sufficed.
from some colleagues, opponents roundly berated Cr Chea for the late notice. The door was left open, however, for such a promotion in the New Year.
A LATE pitch for free parking at the underutilised Number 8 multi-deck car park in Springvale was sunk at last week’s council meeting. Councillor Youhorn Chea said waiving parking fees for 22 to 24 December would attract people to try the perennially half-empty Balmoral Street car park – or half-full if you’re more optimistic. Despite enthusiastic support
WEDDING bells will be ringing for Marg Nicholls this month. The Journal sends its congratulations to the former commissioner who helped merge the Dandenong and Springvale shires to create Greater Dandenong. She was widowed 27 years ago and has finally found love again with her first boyfriend.

Face stares through history By NARELLE COULTER CHRISTMAS Eve 1914, the Western Front, France: the bullets and bombs that had turned the French countryside into a muddy, bloody hell fall silent and the gentle sound of Christmas carols waft between the Allied and German trenches. New arrivals on the German lines bring with them Christmas trees which are hoisted onto the parapets of the trenches. At first light on Christmas morning, German soldiers hesitantly begin to emerge from their positions and, calling out “Merry Christmas“ in English, approach the Allied trenches. Among the Allied soldiers who clamoured out of the safety of his trench to wish ‘Fritz’ a merry Christmas and exchange simple presents of cigarettes and plum puddings was Irishman Charles Sylvester. Some time during that extraordinary Christmas Day, a German soldier approached Charles and pressed into his hand a photograph of himself dressed in the uniform of the 158th Regiment of the Imperial German Army. One hundred years later that photograph, only slightly tattered and creased around the edges, will take pride of place at the Christmas celebrations at the Springvale home of Charles’s grandson Doug Glew. On the back of the photograph, the black lead pencil barely legible, Charles wrote “This was given to me by a private of the 158th Regiment, German Army on the 25th of December 1914. In the event

of my death please send this to Miss C. Kelly, No 2 Ballynahinch Rd, Lisburn, County Down.” Doug Glew knows only sketchy details of his grandfather’s life. As a baby Charles Silvester was abandoned at an Irish orphanage. He and wife Ivy married in Dewsbury, England, where Ivy
lived and grew up. Charles joined the Royal Irish Rifles as a bandsman and served in France during World War I. He was invalided out of the army after losing a finger in battle. In 1917 he and Ivy had a daughter, Susan Ivy, Doug’s mother. After the war Charles resumed civilian life working as a

Charles married his second wife, Gertrude. Doug was 20 when Charles died in 1967 aged 75. “I am just amazed the photograph still exists. “Just stop and think what a miserable life it must have been in the trenches and it must have been in my grandfather’s pocket in those trenches for a good two years.

musician at a theatre in Belfast and later as a cellist at the Empire Theatre in Dewsbury. Charles never spoke of the war. The clearest memory Doug has of his grandfather is spending Saturday mornings with him while his mum worked at Woolworth’s Variety Store and Charles’s copy of Peter Pan and Wendy by J.M. Barrie. After Ivy died of cancer,
“It then went to my grandmother and my mother, who both looked after it.“ He has no idea who Miss C. Kelly was but has done some amateur sleuthing in an effort to discover the identity of the solider in the picture. “I would love to find the descendants of the German solider. I have even written to the German Embassy but there were hundreds of men in that regiment. “It could have been any one of them.“ He is not certain where his grandfather was fighting in the lead-up to Christmas Day 1914, but has narrowed down the likely location to either Fromelles or the Rue des Bois Blanc. “The Christmas Day truce was remarkable. It was quite unofficial. The British high command were absolutely ropeable. “There are reports of the soldiers playing soccer together, then the next day it was back on.” On Christmas Day Doug will arrange the photograph next to an old photograph of Charles and Ivy. As his family gathers to share Christmas lunch they will pause to remember not only Charles but also the German soldier whose earnest stare is frozen in black and white. “One hundred years on I can’t just let it go, it’s too important. After 100 years they both deserve some sort of commemoration.”

Teen gang robbers hunted By LACHLAN MOORHEAD POLICE have released another image in relation to a harrowing robbery near Fountain Gate last month. The new information comes as a schoolgirl is thought to be among a group of youths who robbed and threatened a 16-year-old with boxcutters near the shopping centre in November. The victim was walking along Victor Crescent in Narre Warren toward the shopping centre on Wednesday 5 November about 5.30pm when he was approached by three male and
one female youths. It’s understood the group stood in front of the teenager and tried to engage him in conversation, before demanding his phone and money and threatening him with yellow boxcutters. The victim handed over his Medion mobile phone and $15 to the group which then fled towards the Monash Freeway. The female is believed to be 15 to 16 years old and Asian in appearance, with long, dark brown hair with light brown streaks running through it. She was wearing a white
shirt and blue skirt at the time, which is believed to be a school uniform. The first male, who police released a FACE image of last Thursday, is believed to be Caucasian and 16 years old, approximately 178 centimetres tall, with a solid build, blonde curly hair and is missing his front two upper teeth. He was also wearing a white T-shirt and dark tracksuit pants at the time. The second male is also believed to be Caucasian and 16 years old, approximately 170 centimetres tall, with a slim build and brown hair.
He was wearing a black shirt and holding a can in his left hand at the time. The third male, who police have also released an image of, is believed to be Caucasian and 20 years old, approximately 178 centimetres tall, with a fit build and short brown hair. He was unshaven at the time and wearing a blue jacket. Anyone with information in relation to this incident is encouraged to contact the Dandenong Embona Taskforce on 8558 8684, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

MONASH Health is working day and night to address the negative stigma that can be attached to mental health illnesses. The employees who work in this space understand how important it is to remind people living in the City of Casey that they are not alone when it comes to mental illness, and that there is always a shoulder to lean on. This is why Monash Health held a special Mental Health barbecue last Thursday at Wilson’s Botanical Garden, open to clients and staff. Mental health clinician Heather Mikronis said two groups from Monash Health attended last week’s lunch - Casey Community Mental Health, which operates at Casey Hospital, and Cranbourne Community Mental Health, which is based at the Cranbourne clinic. “Our work involves assisting people in the community, either as a step down when discharged from hospital, or to provide case management as an intervention to try and prevent hospitalisation being necessary,” she said. Ms Mikronis said the clients had greatly appreciated the barbecue, with roughly 80 people attending the event.

COVER STORY
AN ADDRESS OF DISTINCTION PROVES POPULAR WITH PURCHASERS\ 805 BERWICK CRANBOURNE ROAD, CRANBOURNE NORTH
SET atop undulating green hills, with sweeping views across as far as the Dandenong Ranges, the south-east’s newest community, Tulliallan, was launched to the public on 6 December. Even amid the steady Melbourne drizzle, purchasers and locals flocked to the Cranbourne North site to discover the wide range of features and amenities the community has on offer. Located on the cusp of historic Berwick, at 805 Berwick Cranbourne Road, Tulliallan combines the serenity of tree-lined boulevards, heritage buildings and leafy green open spaces with a contemporary masterplanned community. The first release at Tulliallan, which features to total of 20 lots, has proven popular with eager purchasers who have been drawn in by the community’s idyllic setting and convenient location near some of the south-east’s best amenities. Positioned in the heart of the community, just by Tulliallan’s heritage listed Elm Tree Gardens, the release was more than 65 per cent sold in its first week. The property’s grand elm trees have been generously donated by Tulliallan’s former owner and will border the future Elm Tree Gardens community parkland, while the landscaping has been meticulously planned to complement the natural landscape. Featuring approximately 1000 home sites across the community, Tulliallan also provides a number of green open spaces for relaxation and leisure, as well as an onsite neighbourhood centre, sports oval and nature trail. With a focus on the natural environment, this forward-thinking development will include recycled water and fibre optic internet access to each home. With sales expected to continue at their current rate over the next couple of weeks, Tulliallan is set to become the South East’s premier address and is perfectly positioned for a life of prosperity and distinction.

NEW HOMES & LAND
BUYERS’ FIELD OF DREAMS The sun was shining as the first stage of Ramlegh Springs on Clyde hit the market recently with buyers lining up to claim their share of Clyde North’s best new address. “With land prices in such a fantastic development starting from just $123,000, and with front yard landscaping by the award winning Flemings Nurseries included in the land price, it was little wonder we had 13 home sites snapped up by lucky buyers on the day,” Ramlegh Springs Estate manager Trudi Kerr said of the Saturday sale. Despite overnight temperatures below 10 degrees leading up to the launch, first homebuyer Michael Burgoyne and his young family had their hearts set on a 544 square metre block located across the road from Ramlegh Park.
So he spent three cold nights camping outside the sales office to ensure they were first in line to claim their land when doors opened at 9am. “We’ve been looking to purchase our first family home for almost three years and in that time no other development in the area has managed to capture our imagination like Ramlegh Springs. “We’re absolutely thrilled to have finally purchased in such a fantastic new community and can’t wait to start building our dream home,” Michael said. The event was advertised to anyone who was in the Clyde North area by the custom-made Ramlegh Springs on Clyde promotional blimp. “Unlike most other developments in the area, Ramlegh Springs is located away
from the busy Clyde Road, tucked away on former farmland on an idyllic and peaceful patch of Clyde North countryside,” Trudi said. “This means we had to come up with an innovative way to guide homebuyers to our brand new sales office,” she said. The new Ramlegh Springs on Clyde sales office is located on Pattersons Road, Clyde North, and is open 10am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday. For more information on Ramelgh Springs visit www.ramleghsprings.com.au or contact Trudi Kerr from Oliver Hume on 9684 8144. To stay updated on all the latest news ‘like’ Ramlegh Springs on Facebook at facebook.com/ramleghspringsonclyde.

55 Kangan Drive, Berwick (opposite Casey Hospital)
Liesel, Michelle, Rosie, Bob and Carolyn are some of the friendly staff at St John of God Berwick Hospital.
Sun spots seen AUSTRALIA and New Zealand enjoy the dubious honour of having the highest rates of sun induced skin cancers in the world. These include basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas. There are many other rare kinds of skin cancer but these are by far in the minority. The reason behind these high rates is thought to be due to the genetic make-up and pale complexion of the majority of the inhabitants and also the lifestyles that people like to enjoy here. Until the 1980s by far the majority of Australian residents were pale skinned people of
northern European descent and this genetic heritage leaves people susceptible to damage to the skin cell DNA from the strong UV light that comes from the sun. Very dark skinned people enjoy relative protection from this effect because the pigmentation absorbs the UV light before it can damage the cells’ DNA. As the result of different rates of immigration from around the world, the skin cancers rates in Australia will change, but this will take many years to become evident. Regular skin checks are essential for all Australians even those groups with very dark skin.
Southern European complexion does not afford much protection, despite what people may hear to the contrary and the sun must be respected by all. South East Plastic Surgery offers a full specialised skin cancer surgical service and works together with an extensive number of general practitioners and dermatologists in comprehensive management of all kinds of skin cancers. Mr Charles Baillieu, Mr Ajay Chauhan and Dr Yvonne Chow consult and operate at St John of God Berwick Hospital. Patients must be referred from a GP. For all appointments, phone 9546 6267.

Mums fear DHS rules By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DANDENONG barrister says newlyarrived mothers are reluctant to report family violence because they fear their children will be taken from them. Roona Nida is trying to help several mothers reunite with their children who have been farmed out to foster parents by a “scary and unethical” Department of Human Services. She recently won back a south-east Melbourne mother’s young children in a prolonged children’s court battle against the department – which originally intervened after the husband allegedly inflicted family violence. Since early this year, the children had been placed with separate foster families from incompatible cultural backgrounds and their mother was initially only able to see her children for hour stints in a DHS office. The department argued for indefinite foster care under a custody-to-secretary order, but the court found it was in the children’s “best interest” to be reunited with their mother. Ms Nida said it was notoriously rare to defeat the DHS’s recommendations in court, claiming the department tried to suppress favourable reports of her client’s parenting fitness. She said if not for her probono intervention, the mother had “no hope”. “It’s scary and unethical. (The DHS) don’t appear to care,” Ms Roona said. “They should have been more flexible. I think it was easier for them to seek a custody-to-secretary order.” She said such cases had a chilling effect on refugee and asylum-seeker communities whose members perceive that the mother had been unjustly punished for reporting family violence. DHS spokesman Mike Griffin said the department was forbidden from com-
Dandenong barrister Roona Nida says DHS procedures are “scary and unethical”. 132355 menting on the children’s court case. “Children are removed as a last resort and only when a court determines the child is at significant risk and the parents cannot protect the child from harm. “Only a fraction of the 80,000 notifications made each year lead to court action,
and only a small percentage of those lead to removal of children.” He said that in family violence matters, emphasis was given to removing the perpetrator of violence and not the children. “When children are removed, re-unification is always the goal where possible
and most children who enter care are returned to their parents’ care within six months.” Agencies such as Child First and Cradle to Kinder helped parents manage any issues they faced so that they could be reunited with their children, he said.
Agencies tag Casey as firefront for arson attack By BEN CAMERON THE City of Casey remains one of the highest fire risk areas in the state, according to a southeast police commander, as the threat of arson looms large this summer. Launching the Firesetter Agency Partnership between Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia police service areas as part of a zero-tolerance approach to bushfire arson, Southern Metro Region Superintendent Paul Hollowood said the shire was at
the forefront of deliberately lit fires due to the growing nature of those regions. “People seem to think suspicious bushfires mostly start in rural areas but it’s not, it’s where urban development meets bushland,” he said. “This is most relevant for the Casey and Cardinia shires. “The urban fringe, those areas where people are seeking a tree change, where urban development is encroaching on the bush, that’s where we are seeing the risk increase.”
Southern Metropolitan Commander Doug Fryer said residents should be prepared for an intense bushfire season. “We know that this coming fire season is going to be a long, hot summer,” he said. “Last year, we had about 80 suspicious or reckless fires in Victoria, 62 were deliberately lit. “Even though the Cardinia Shire has more rural bushland, the fire threat is strong across Casey and Dandenong too.” Victoria Police has reactivated Operation Firesetter this
season – a high visibility initiative designed to reduce the likelihood of bushfire arson during high risk periods. Commander Fryer said that while a multi-agency approach to fire prevention would help increase community safety, residents had an important role to play. “We can’t do it alone, we need others to be the eyes and ears when it comes to suspicious and odd behaviour,” he said. “If you see something, say something.
“Suspicious behaviour can be any number of things. Someone who parks their vehicle in an unusual location, someone who tries to go unnoticed or tries to avoid contact, or someone who leaves in a hurry after being noticed,” he said. “Prompt and detailed reporting of suspicious activities can help prevent bushfires that could lead to loss of property or life. “People who commit bushfire arson are not always strangers, they often live and work in local communities.”
Small art works for big show A GROUP of talented Casey artists will be bringing a selection of their works to the Civic Centre Art Space over summer. Artists from Berwick’s Paperworks Gallery, run by local Andrea Hopgood, will showcase their pieces for a special exhibition in December and January. Casey Mayor Mick Morland encouraged residents to drop by the exhibition, which has already opened. “Andrea has more than 30 years’ teaching experience and has inspired and passed on her expertise to students in a range of mediums throughout the year,” he said. “This exhibition features artworks in a variety of mediums including paintings, pencil, pastel, yarn and clay. “There will be realist pastel works of the Victorian coastline, handmade jewellery made from origami, still life drawings and paintings and hand painted clay sculptures that reflect the many mediums and materials that the artists explored during the year. “Council is thrilled that we can showcase the amazing works of some of the rising stars of the art world. “ Some of the artists who will showcase their works in the exhibition are Bek Andrew, Laura White, Gill Samuel, Fiona Mittag Barb Owen, Megan Caldwell, Trudy Wiseman, Robyn Barber, Tracey Kyle, Jackie Abrehart, Gabrielle Hopgood, Melanie Whitling and Donna Mahon. The Inspired by Nature - A Collection of Small Pieces is the final exhibition of Casey Council’s 2014 Art Space program, and can be viewed at the Art Space in the foyer of the City of Casey Civic Centre, from 10 December to 30 January 2015.
BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Help comes home for business CASEY and Cardinia business owners shared in an important lunch earlier this month. The lunch was organised for the local home-based business owners to discuss their ideas and the opportunities and challenges they face in working in the Casey and Cardinia regions. Helping Hand is Here director Michelle Jankovic said the lunch was a success, providing guests with new contacts and additional information. “It was a brilliant opportunity to meet and chat with likeminded home-based business owners, discussing the benefits and challenges of working from home,” she said. “And realising the potential
to not tackle peak-hour traffic and drive outside our wonderful region to do business. “If we become more aware of the high quality home based businesses within our region, we could potentially not travel far from home.” Casey Mayor Mick Morland and Cardinia Mayor Leticia Wilmot attended the lunch to better understand how their councils could better support home-based businesses within their regions. For further information about disability support services, workshop and training or individual disability consultancy visit www.helpinghandishere. com.au or phone 9017 4649.

SPORT Diamonds can take a beating By JARROD POTTER THE fairy-tale inaugural season of the Berwick Diamonds was brought to an end on Sunday as the Northern Lady Raiders came to ruin the party. Outside of the starting drive of the match, ending in Diamonds’ quarterback Vanessa Roman hitting wide receiver Joanna Rashleigh for the touchdown, Berwick struggled to match pace with Northern on either side of the ball. The Diamonds’ defense had to contend with a powerhouse performance from Lady Raiders’ quarterback Steph Pulis-Cassar - who threw 19/28 for a whopping 263 yards and four passing touchdowns. From the shotgun Pulis-Cassar had too much on her bullet-like passes and the Lady Raiders’ O-line held out
the Diamonds for the best part of the game, leaving Berwick to defend aerially on the pass instead of creating any sack or tackle pressure. Despite an admirable performance from Roman and the Berwick offence, the Lady Raiders also had a monster presence on their defense as line-backer Paige Farrell blitzed the line and made sacks, tackles and interceptions virtually at will. Diamonds’ coach Jamie Stafford also had to contend with his side getting battered and bruised in the contest - especially captains Cat Bouwhuis (ribs), who left the game in the second term after a huge clotheslined tackle, and running-back Bliss Love, who refused to stay down and returned to the game despite sporting a visible limp.
Vanessa Roman proved valiant in the Berwick Diamonds’ 6-34 loss to Northern Lady Raiders on Sunday. 132115 Picture: JARROD POTTER While the scorecard was 6-8 at half-time, favouring the Lady Raiders, the Diamonds could not stop the visitors from there on. Pulis-Cassar took the first drive of the second half all the way up the field to create the side’s second of five touchdowns on the frigid cold morning at Sydney Pargeter Reserve. From there the match belonged to the Lady Raiders as Berwick struggled on valiantly to create rare first down opportunities and make its way to the
red zone only three times for the match. The third touchdown came just before the final change and two more in the last quarter blew out the margin to 26 points by the final whistle. It brought a sudden end to the Diamonds’ first season in the women’s league, but Stafford remained proud of his team despite the final result. “Their quarterback had an exceptional game and it didn’t matter what we did, we couldn’t get pressure on
her up front. “Like I said to the girls in the huddle, you want to beat yourselves over things when you lose but sometimes you just get beaten by a superior opponent. “The positives far outweigh the negatives in the first season up and again, the girls are allowed to be disappointed, I am too... but you need to shut that out and focus on what you did really well, learn from your mistakes and use it as fuel for next season.”
WNBL - Round 9
It’s a net result... all round By JARROD POTTER THE satisfaction of a sweet swish drove Alex Wood to change the outdoor basketball landscape in Victoria. For too long Wood and his brother Jackson played on outdoor courts without a net and while it seems a simplistic problem, the addition of a chain net for a few dollars each makes a dramatic difference to outdoor matches. It all started with that desire to swish and slam for Wood and his friends - who’d play pick-up basketball games on the courts around Mentone. “We noticed there’s resurgence in basketball and me and my basketball mates were wanting to play with a net,” Wood said. “We bought one and hung it up and all the kids wandered over from the skate park and were enjoying it. “It’s the part of the game everyone loves - the validation where the chain echoes and everyone knows you hit it you never get tired of hearing that. “Guys will stop playing so we can hang it and you can see them lift up their intensity as everyone stands taller under the net.” After crowd-funding $12000 from Kickstarter users, the Nothingbutnet legion of volunteers went about putting net after net up around Victoria. Their aim on Saturday was to hang 100 nets across Victoria, with the City of Greater Dandenong gaining the organisation’s attention for its huge basketball community and countless outdoor facilities. The duo strung up nets at over a dozen outdoor, council-owned basketball courts across the City of Greater Dandenong on Saturday as part of the organisation’s aim to reach every council court in metropolitan and suburban Melbourne and get more players out on court. The level of skill in Dandenong’s basketball community was part of the reason the Nothingbutnet founder/ baller wanted to hang nets in the city
Kathleen Macleod, pictured facing the Waves last week at home, drilled 18 points to help guide Dandenong to an 86-77 victory. 131973 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
Rangers steadily climb the ladder By JARROD POTTER Nothingbutnet’s Jackson and Alex Wood went to work hanging chain basketball nets across Dandenong on Saturday. 132466 Picture: JARROD POTTER as he hopes it encourages players to spend more time outside and improve their game even more. “One area we have all talked about is probably Dandenong,” Wood said. “It has a huge Sudanese community… they’re amazing with 14-yearolds who dunk on you - it’s a bit embarrassing but they’re incredible. “The whole city has a huge, diverse basketball community and there will be a lot more bouncing of the balls and swishing going on now.” The organisation is also in the process of creating a smartphone app to
tell players where their nets have been hung around Victoria, creating the first in-depth outdoor court maps in the state. “Every time we rock up - invariably within five minutes there will be kids playing on it,” Wood said. “They turn around and ask ‘are you going to take it away?’ and all we want is for them to take care of it.” Information on the start-up charity and requests to get nets put up on your local court can be found on their website www.nothingbutnet.org.au or its Facebook page Nothingbutnet.
DANDENONG maintained its winning run over West Coast this season with an 86-77 win on Friday night, despite the Waves once again stretching out to an early lead. The Rangers could not stop the power-packed guard duo of Deanna Smith (24 points) and Sarah Graham (16 points) early as the pair knocked down three after three at the WA Basketball Centre on Friday night. It would take time for the Rangers to turn it around, but steady progress came as Penny Taylor (23 points, 7 rebounds), Kathleen Macleod (19 points, 6 assists) and Alice Kunek (17 points) found their own down-town range.
The Rangers three-shooters made their attempts count as they drilled nine-of-16 from beyond the arc, including four in a resounding 28-point third term which shut the door on the Waves’ getting back into the clash. Team hustle around the Waves’ key proved the difference as Dandenong out-muscled the home side and snared 20 defensive rebounds alongside four blocks. With three wins in their past four matches, Dandenong is steadily moving up the WNBL ladder as the Rangers moved into fifth with a 5-7 record heading into its final match of the year when Dandenong will host Sydney Uni on Saturday from 3pm.

SPORT DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - TURF 1 Round 6 (day 1)
VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET 1st Round 11 (Twenty20)

The devil in Dushan By JARROD POTTER BERWICK (2/233) put its first innings points on lay-away as North Dandenong (90) failed to find any fluency with the blade or ball. BERWICK v NORTH DANDENONG AT EVERY turn lurked a Bears’ wicket - Dushan Wickramarathna (4/20) will feature in a few North Dandenong nightmares this week as the Berwick spearhead crushed the visitors’ hopes. Resilience came from Caleb Millman (25), Dean Gunawardana (22) and Liam Dudding (15), but only in small doses as Berwick restricted North Dandenong to a scant 90 from its 33.4 overs. It left Berwick with an eternity to bat, notch first innings points and potentially send the visitors back in for a second dose of pain. Captain Jarrod Goodes (41) struck the boundaries early before copping a straight one from Shane Clark, leaving the rest of the job to Ryan Williamson (52 not out), Brad James (37) and a huge knock from Bathiya Perera (81 not out). Finding his best fluency before Christmas, Perera flogged nine boundaries and four sixes across the Arch Brown Reserve arena to give North Dandenong nothing to smile about heading
off at stumps. Goodes kept his side at the crease - choosing to set a monster tally for the Northerners next week instead of sending them back in at the death. The match resides in his hands now as North Dandenong can only hope to hold on in its inevitably long second innings next week. LYNDALE v HALLAM KALORA PARK YOU could only wonder what could have been for Lyndale (1/13) after running through Hallam Kalora Park’s (177) top order. The battle belonged to the home side until tea as Ricky Foulstone (3/35) and Dale Tormey (2/49) razed any Hawk that came near the crease. At 4/30 the Hawks sat dangerously close to their demise in the baking heat, but were able to turn back the clock and bat out 72 overs en route to 177. Liam Mara (2/37) would join the Lyndale bowling party to finish the job. The day didn’t go completely Lyndale’s way as it lost Conal Ranatunga (4) just before day’s end. HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTS v DANDY WEST HONOURS were split at Reedy Reserve as Heinz Southern Districts (191) put up the par score against Dandenong West. It could have been significantly worse as the
Cobras took a while to get warmed up. Three quick wickets to the Bulls left the ketchup makers in danger, but the source of Heinz’s success would come from Matt Cox (40) and Shehan Bandaranayake (40) as they added 65 for the fourth wicket before Cox struck one straight back to Andrew Harry (1/23). Bits and bobs and starts aplenty would highlight the remaining Heinz innings as no one truly booked a big score. Jaswant Singh (3/34) and Peter Atkinson (2/33) worked their way down the Cobras’ scorecard and the skipper would be please with a sub200 chase next week on a lightning fast Reedy Reserve in the midst of summer. COOMOORA v BUCKLEY RIDGES A LITTLE bit from everyone pushed Buckley Ridges (9/228) to the front against the languishing Coomoora. After their earlier loss this week - conceding a 2-3 defeat in the Statewide Twenty20 Cup “bowloff” against Cranbourne - the Ridges came out with a point to prove as Anuj Dal (48), Jayson Hobbs (46) and Hussain Ali (28) dispatched all and sundry. The pain ran through the order even as number-10 Nathan Beaver (28 not out) connected with anything bowled at-the-death.
A superb bowling effort from Joseph Hawke (4/77) kept the match from getting further out of control while Dillon Gemmell-Smith (2/72) also found himself holding up an end ably at Coomoora Reserve. Joel Robertson (3/11) was the other major scalp snarer for the Kangaroos. PARKFIELD v SPRINGVALE SOUTH THERE wasn’t much to cheer about for the reigning premiers on Saturday as Springvale South (8/284dec) avenged its grand-final defeat against Parkfield (1/7). Nathan King (93) had the ball on a string as he smashed the Bears to all parts of Parkfield Reserve for his first halfton in 2014/15. King would be cruelly robbed of his maiden century as he thickly edged one through to the keeper off Shane Bell (3/20). The Parkfield captain would sparingly use himself, instead preferring Travis D’Souza (1/90) to rattle through 25 overs with his spin. On the opposition side, Jackson Sketcher (49 not out), Andrew Staude (33) and Ryan Quirk (31) kept the foot on the gas as the Bloods raced towards 300. A fighting declaration late in the day sent the Bears in and import Joe Wheal (0) succumbed in the heat to a straightener from Jarrod Armitage (1/3).
VICTORIAN SUB-DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - South East 1st XI Round 6 (day 2)
Season for Bulls... still alive and kicking By JARROD POTTER GORING its way to first innings points, Noble Park (5/156dec) charged through Moorabbin (92 and 7/83) to almost steal the outright victory. The Bulls were unstoppable at Moorleigh Village as first-innings points were caught up with quickly. The resounding work of Marasinghe Perera (62) and Mevan Fernando (64) set up a chance at the outright victory as Paul Hill (2 not out) brought his charges back in after a 59-over innings. With 64 runs in the bank and 28 overs to make something magical happen, the Bulls charged in to keep the outright chance alive. Rizan Mawzoon (3/23) hit peak form
at the right time to spear through the Moorabbin middle order, while Ash Perera (1/20) and Sanjeewa de Silva (2/7) also kept the pressure up to the home side. In the end the result was dictated by the setting sun as Moorabbin edged past the first innings target and survived by the skin of their teeth. The win keeps Noble Park’s premiership defence alive as the Bulls move up to eighth place on the VSDCA South-East ladder, only three points behind the final six. Noble Park is off to Croydon for a one-dayer in the last round of 2014. ENDEAVOUR HILLS v OAKLEIGH ENDEAVOUR HILLS (162) on the other hand threw away a prime
opportunity to move into the upper echelons of the VSDCA ladder. Silly middle order hitting left the Eagles 41 runs short against Oakleigh (210) as a slump set in quickly. Number three Shean Vanderwert (60) looked the man to guide the Eagles home, as he ticked off the first half of the chase alongside the departing Gamindu Amarasinghe (12) and Thomas Hafil (11). Vanderwert would find the boundary with some scintillating strokes, en route to his second half-ton of the season, but his hard-hitting addiction proved his demise as a rush of blood left him out, slogging at 5/98. He would be part of the middleorder procession that ran through the crease like it was a turnstile with
the order falling from 2/71 to 7/111 in the blink of an eye. The best efforts of Vaughan Baxter (30) held together the lower order and kept some semblance of victory alive. Baxter and Ben Swift (17) were the partnership that needed to stick, but once Swift dollied a caught-andbowled back to Ben Pinwill (5/48), the Eagles’ chances dissipated. Baxter would be the last out as he and captain Chris Pereira (4 not out) attempted to salvage the points. Endeavour Hills will head to Bayswater for the final match of the year. Endeavour Hills’ batsman Shean Vanderwert replays the shot on which he succumbed for 60. 132468 Picture: JARROD POTTER
WRAPPING up the season nicely, Dandenong (2/153cc) finished off Fitzroy Doncaster (6/122) to give the Panthers some momentum heading into the last match of the year. The problems surrounding Dandenong’s start to the season - conceding early wickets - failed to feature in this week’s powerhouse performance as Tom Donnell, Brett Forsyth and James Pattinson smacked the Lions away. A Swashbuckling start from Tom Donnell (40) gave the Panthers the perfect foundation to shoot for the stars. Forsyth (52) struck the leather cleanly to set up a 90-run stand with Pattinson (56 not out) as the duo turned the match on its head. Pattinson backed up his starring effort with the blade as he charged in for four overs while the damage was done by Dan Doran (3/17) and James Nanopoulos (3/26). The Lions had their pride dented by the spin/medium pace tandem as Doran skittled the top order before Nanopoulos finished the job. A gallant captain’s knock from Tim Sheehan (58 not out) was the only shining light of the Fitzroy Doncaster innings as Sheehan failed to find any significant help. Year’s end will be at home for Dandenong as the Panthers take on Greenvale this week.

SPORT
The runs just pile up By JARROD POTTER THE only way the opposition could see off cricketer Carin Eastburn was for her to… fly out of the country. A pre-Christmas cricket spree has given the Berwick batswoman nearly 500 runs and she still has next year to add to the season’s tally. Carin Eastburn, from Berwick, has been a mainstay in local cricket for the last 25 years and is in sublime touch this season as she’s smashed about all and sundry playing for the Dandenong Women’s Cricket team as their seconds’ team captain. The runs have been piling up at a great rate this season - including three centuries already in 2014/15 at an average of 119.75 - as Eastburn’s innings this year resemble a good player’s career highlights - 114 not out, 111, 100, 47, 46, 31 and 30. “It’s been ridiculous - everything is coming off,” Eastburn said. “I know it’s a purple patch and you look at Bradman and he needed four to average 100 and went out for a duck, so I need to roll with it as long as possible. “I haven’t even failed yet this year, it’s a bit embarrassing, but I’ve been playing 25 years… 20 years in the seniors… I know it’s a rare thing so I’m just stoked.” Eastburn didn’t return to the seconds to be a flat-track bully though - she’s looking past her own tally
to help guide the younger players through to their own milestones. “I had a 160 run partnership with Cass (Pollock) which was cool and she made her first 50 for the season so I love seeing the kids perform,” Eastburn said. “For me it’s all about partnerships… that’s the second 150-run partnership I’ve had with one of the girls… that’s the reason I’m playing there (2nd XI). “I’ve been playing ones for a long, long time, but I had shoulder surgery… since shoulder surgery I came back last year and this year just captaining the twos. “It’s nice to be able to pass on some of that knowledge before I retire.” On top of her cricketing talents, Eastburn recently returned from a trip to India to help build houses for the needy with a group of Lighthouse Christian College Year-12 student she has taught. “With the service trip it’s like a schoolies trip for the end of Year-12 and we’ve run it through Habitat for Humanity,” Eastburn said. “We had to fundraise to get over there and fundraise to help with the materials as well as Habitat for Humanity is not-for-profit. “We fly over there, help out with a local family, do whatever they need with their house for nine or 10 days and then we fly back.”
ONE of Victoria’s oldest basketball clubs is constantly looking for ways of encouraging new people into the sport. The Springvale Basketball Club, or ‘The Vales’, has been in operation each year since 1958, catering for both children and adults from all backgrounds. Essentially, the club welcomes anyone who wants to develop or improve their basketball skills. The Vales are structured as a non-profit incorporated association, run by an honorary committee and a team of volunteer coaches and team managers. The club currently has 50 senior and junior teams participating in local associations across Dandenong, Cranbourne, Frankston and Westernport; and also operates junior development
programs from its base at Springers Leisure Centre in Keysborough. “The club differs from others because we never say no to anyone who wants to play - for kids who, for whatever reason, feel like they couldn’t play,” said club stalwart and Administration Officer Jane Hong, who added that the Vales had just two teams eight years ago but now run their own ‘Aussie Hoops’ program. “We want every child in the area playing sport, whether that be basketball, cricket or tennis,” she said. Jane has been involved at the club since her daughter was 10. She’s now 16 and loving her time at the Vales. Jane, herself, was recognised as the Vales’ best club-person recently but she wasn’t there to accept the award because she was out volunteering for the club.

What is behind the Vales By RUSSELL BENNETT
GREYHOUND RACING VICTORIA
The Vales are run simply through the hard work of their dedicated volunteers who relentlessly apply for grants through organisations such as the Bendigo Bank, but also the City of Greater Dandenong - which has been a huge support. The club’s volunteers are on a simple mission: To form a family group for everyone, regardless of age or cultural background. The Vales have two Aussie Hoops training sessions every Wednesday: Prep to Grade 2 from 4.30pm to 5.15pm, and Grade 3 to Grade 6 from 5.15pm to 6pm. They also have a goal to operate a free basketball clinic on Tuesdays. For more information about the Vales - including the competitions and associations they’re involved in - visit www.vales.com.au.
LAMIA Bale claimed her third win in a week to take out the $36,000 Group 3 Sir John Dillon Memorial at Sandown Park this week. Beginning quickly from Box 2, Lamia Bale powered to an early lead over TAB favourite Awesome Project and that’s how it stayed, racing to a three-and-a-half length victory in 34.09 seconds over the 595m trip. “It was a super run I’m really rapped,” said handler Heather Collins. “I thought once she got out in front she’d be hard to run down. It was an impressive run given it was only her second start over the distance.” After impressing in her heat win the previous Thursday, Lamia Bale showed her versatility by returning to Sandown Park on Sunday and winning a heat of the Group 2 Macro Meats Laurels over 515m. While competing in the two series wasn’t the original plan, Collins was confident Lamia Bale was capable of completing the task set for her. “The heats on the Sunday caught us out a little bit but it’s worked out so far. “She works the house down at home, and she’s one of those dogs that pulls up a treat after each run. “She had a ‘freshen up’ after her run on Sunday and she was jumping out of her skin, ready to go tonight (Thursday). “She’ll have an easy couple of days now and hopefully be right to go again on Sunday.” Thursday’s win was Lamia Bale’s 10th in 33 career starts, and the $25,000 winner’s cheque took her career earnings to $83,855. If she runs in the first two in her Macro Meats Laurels semi-final on Sunday, she’ll qualify for the final on Sunday 21 December and compete for a $50,000 first prize. For runner-up Awesome Project, it completed a remarkable 2014 which saw the Darren McDonald trained chaser place 15 out of 16 starts at Sandown Park - winning 10 - qualify for five feature finals and earn $178,210.

Toyota begins the Ascent By EWAN KENNEDY
Model range
Frontal styling of the latest Toyota Yaris is right out of the ordinary. side privacy glass and a new design of wheel covers. Finally, the topline autoonly Toyota Yaris ZR has been upgraded with autolevelling LED headlights, a rear spoiler and diffuser, side skirts and Toyota Link connected mobility. It has more than $2000 of extra equipment but is priced only $1300 higher at $22,690. When we opened the story by saying the Yaris has had a ‘big’ facelift that was a literal statement. Big radiator grilles are
all the rage at the moment, and the little Yaris hatch has one of the biggest and baddest of them all. Changes to the interior are mainly in the trim colours to give it a brighter look. Yaris has a 6.1-inch display audio screen that provides touch, drag and flick control of the type we are using in virtually all smartphones and tablets. A telephone remote is installed on the position on the steering wheel, and the stereo now has six speakers.
The Yaris hatch has a stiffer body shell to reduce noise, vibration and harshness and intrusion of noise and vibration into the cabin is noticeably lower than than previously. More direct and linear steering response has been gained by new suspension calibration. All Yaris models now have a reversing camera and there’s automatic flashing of the hazard lamps under hard braking. The Yaris hatch has seven airbags and crash

INCLUDING: INCLUDING: avoidance or minimisation features include vehicle stability and traction control, and ABS brakes with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and brake assist (BA). Performance from the 1.3-litre engine is marginal, which is perfectly acceptable if there only one or two in the car and not driving up too many hills. It’s smooth, reasonably quiet and pleasant enough to drive without being in any way exciting.

TOYOTA Yaris has been given a big facelift, and has extra equipment at little or no added cost. Yaris may well be all that many smart buyers need, particularly if only ever used to carry one or two people. Others find that the Yaris can be used as a family car when the kids are young. One thing these people demand is back doors, so the three-door Yaris hatch has been pulled out of the range. The Yaris range now starts with the 1.3-litre Ascent, the car we tested. It now has 15-inch steel wheels instead of 14-inch. Toyota says the additional equipment fitted on the Ascent is valued at more than $2000, yet it has kept the price steady at $15,690 for the five-speed manual and $17,290 with auto transmission. Our review was done in a manual. The Yaris SX powered by a 1.5-litre engine, has had its price increased by $400 to $17,790 (manual) and $19,390 (automatic). Toyota says it now has more than $1000 of new features, foglamps, rear and
