■ Independent report backs program...
Ice court on a high By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
Mr Parsons said this result was “striking” particularly given all of the DTO offenders had entrenched addictions and had been in jail “more than once” before. “There is a massive saving to the taxpayer,” Mr Parsons said. “It’s a significantly effective program in terms of the recovery of people with entrenched drug addictions and relieves the burden of crime on the community in a very significant way.” The court uses a carrot and stick approach - an intensive two-year regime of constant reporting to Mr Parsons, urine-testing, rehabilitation, housing, vocational and welfare support coupled with the dangling threat of jail. Mr Parsons pointed to the“measurable and considerable” improvement in the mental and physical health of offenders who saw out the program. The report found the regime was slightly more effective for ‘ice’ users than heroin users - despite ice having no medical treatment program
equivalent to methadone. “That’s exciting,” Mr Parsons said. “The drug court is applying best practice in terms of ice use. “We’re sure the combination (of supervision and supports) is producing a positive result.” The report also found the DTO cohort had a 90 per cent reduction in trafficking offences compared to an increase for the incarcerated group. Both groups, however, committed significantly more theft offences, the report found. A recent state inquiry into ‘ice’ recommended an expansion of the drug court into other regions. Mr Parsons said the magistrates’ court was “ready, willing and able” to facilitate such a move. “It’s ultimately a matter for the State Government,” Mr Parsons said. “The government is tackling the scourge of ice - this is one effective way to approaching that.”
School racers revved up MOSSGIEL Park Primary - start your engines! Students from the Endeavour Hills primary school held their biennial Grand Prix fund-raiser last Friday, ahead of Melbourne’s big race. In 2013 the school raised more than $8000, and the students and their families have worked very hard in the past few months to again put together their handheld cardboard cars to ensure they’re in prime racing condition. Logan was one of many Mossgiel students who finally got to take his new wheels out for a spin. News photographer STEWART CHAMBERS was on the sidelines for the big race. 135823

THE report is in - there’s a cheaper and more effective way to right drug-addicted repeat criminals than locking them in jail. And it’s been running in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court for the past 13 years. A long-awaited independent evaluation of the state’s only drug court last week confirmed the its anecdotal success, including tackling the well-publicised ice scourge. Speaking after the KPMG report’s launch on Thursday, the court’s Magistrate Tony Parsons pressed the case for expanding the “flavour-ofthe-month” program. The cost of the court’s drug treatment orders (DTOs) is $70 a day per offender, compared to $270 a day for prisoners who were found significantly more likely to re-offend. The report found offenders on DTOs were 29 per cent less likely to re-offend than a control group of offenders who had been jailed for two years for similar offences.

Looking forward to hope By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE father tried to fight back his tears but he couldn’t. The son he loves is seemingly addicted to drugs and he and his wife had nowhere left to turn. That is, until they found Vision of Hope. Vision of Hope is a counselling program, run by staff from the Hallam Medical Group, that started in 2013 to help people whose family members or close friends are battling drug and alcohol addiction. When the loving father started crying at last week’s monthly meeting - his first - the other participants empathised. “We were all like you when we came here,” one of them said across the circle. And they had been. One by one the members shared their latest news with the group. Some of the eight or so people at the meeting had been with Vision of Hope since its beginning, all joining in the aim of finding some type of guidance. Family counsellor Bernard D’Argent started up the program along with mental health nurse Lyndsey Coutet, psychologist Stephanie Chu and GP Ariane D’Argent, and at last Tuesday’s meeting Mr D’Argent welcomed the newcomers to the group with open arms.
From left, GP Ariane D’Argent, psychologist Stephanie Chu, and family counsellor Bernard D’Argent - all from Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS the Hallam Medical Group - run the Vision of Hope program. 121291 “You might not get all the answers but I think by coming here you will get support in the sense that you’ll know you’re not on your own,” he said to the group. “You’re able to hear from other people what they’re doing. No one’s
got the right answer and you can only try. “But knowing you have other people supporting you... I always hear that every month. “It’s what gets you through things.” The following night (Wednesday)
the Australian Drug Foundation held one of its anticipated ice forums in Narre Warren, which Mr D’Argent urged the Vision of Hope members to attend and raise the issue of the stress of addiction on carers and loved ones. “They (the State Government) put a
lot of money in to rehabilitate users,” Mr D’Argent said. “A lot of the focus is on users. I think we’ve got a role to tell them how important you are as carers, how important it is for you to get support.” Vision of Hope was first started out of a rehabilitation centre as a once-off trial with an invitation to continue if the participants felt they would benefit from it. Two years later the group has roughly 20 members, with new participants joining every month. “The focus was always on helping the person struggling with the addiction, they came here seeking help for the person,” Mr D’Argent previously told the News. “As we went along we talked about it and we realised that they were also struggling - you’re not born with those skills to know how to care for someone with an addiction. “Because we had this family sensitive approach, if you like, we started working on them, giving them skills to better cope with the situation. “There was so much focus on the person - there is quite a lot of services out there for the person. “We realised that maybe where it’s lacking is services for the carers.” For more information or to join Vision of Hope, contact the Hallam Medical Group on 9796 5400.
Police call for backing to tackle sports drugs problem
Gearing up for arts CASEY council is now calling for people to register for the 2015 Winter Arts Festival later this year. The City of Casey is now taking expressions of interest (EOI) from members of the local arts community. Organisers are looking for people who want to host an event or activity during the three-month long festival held from June to August. The EOIs will close on Friday 20 March.

but what is everyone else doing about it?” he said. “We are not winning the fight.” “It’s prevalent.” Geoff Munro from the Australian Drug Foundation as well as Peter Wearn, director of YSAS also spoke at the forum on different issues surrounding the drug. Mr Wearn gave the audience an insight into the reality of the drug and the effect it has on users.
He explained that ice causes the “flooding and release” of people’s own chemicals into the brain and described it as “pleasure at a price”. “It creeps up on people and deregulates their emotional response,” he said. “It compromises people’s ability to think normally.” Following Mr Wearn and Insp Breen, Mr Munro spoke to people about the importance of prevention. He said that those most at
risk were people who were isolated from the community. “Sometimes it only takes one person to help them,” he said. He says sporting clubs provide a protective environment, with local coaches often acting as a mentor to those they’re in charge of. “The most important person in the club is the coach,” he said. “The coach sets the standard, but so do we all.”

He said a drug policy was invaluable and was a formal statement which provided guidelines for people at the club which could act as a deterrent to drug use. “The most important aspect of this night is that sporting clubs are encouraged to understand the role they play in reducing factors that lead people to use drugs,” Mr Munro said. “It’s about increasing social inclusion and community cohesiveness.”

from REPRESENTATIVES sporting clubs across the City of Casey got an insight into the local ice problem last Wednesday night and how they can act to help combat the problem. About 50 people turned out for an ice forum at the Narre Warren Civic Centre where they were informed about the local drug problem and how they could contribute to solving it. Led by the Australian Drug Foundation, the forum encour-
aged people to become part of the Good Sports Program and implement an official drug policy into their sporting groups. Local police area commander Inspector Paul Breen was one of the guest speakers at the forum and discussed the issue of ice at a local level. He emphasised the fact that police need as much help from the community as they could get to help address the crime. “People look at police and say what are you doing about it,

Bottle shop health hit By CASEY NEILL A NEW Dandenong South liquor outlet could hurt public health in already struggling suburbs. City of Greater Dandenong councillor Matthew Kirwan was among four councillors who voted against allowing a bottle shop at a Woolworths supermarket in the Estate One precinct on the Princes Highway. Six councillors voted in favour of the store, which Cr Kirwan argued would adversely affect Doveton and Eumemmer-
ring residents. “This is an unusual application because while in Greater Dandenong, it is mostly residents of Doveton and Eumemmerring in the neighbouring City of Casey that will potentially be affected by it,” he said. “I don’t think that reduces our responsibility.” Cr Kirwan said the council report on the proposal did not mention that there was a Dan Murphy’s close by, in addition to the licenced Hogs Breath Cafe and
Chifley Hotel Doveton within 500 metres. “Doveton and Eumemmerring are very disadvantaged areas - Doveton has been reported to be the poorest suburb in Melbourne - and in my view does not need another packaged liquor outlet nearby,” he said. He said that the City of Casey in 2011 found that there were too many liquor outlets in the area and “that another one may encourage the misuse and abuse of alcohol and could be detrimental
to public health”. But Cr Angela Long said this outlet was suitably located. “There’s no residential area, it’s all industrial,” she said. Cr John Kelly said the store met state and council planning provisions. “We don’t have an option, really, to refuse this,” he said. “It even meets our own alcohol management policy.” Crs Sampey, Brown, Truong and O’Reilly also supported the proposal. Crs Tak, Memeti and
Chea joined Cr Kirwan in opposition. The council report on the proposal said granting the permit was “not considered to result in adverse amenity impacts on the neighbouring surrounds”. “No liquor will be permitted to be consumed within the premises or in the public domain,” it said. “All staff members will be required to have appropriate Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate.”
Arsonists strike at pre-school POLICE are appealing for any information after a disused pre-school building in Endeavour Hills was set on fire last weekend. The fire is being treated as suspicious. It’s understood no-one has come forward in relation to the blaze at the Mossgiel Park Pre-School site in Heathmere Crescent, while a recent police doorknock has seemingly garnered no leads. Police and CFA were called to the blaze at one of the pre-school’s buildings around 1.30pm on Sunday 8 March, where the fire took 20 minutes to get under control.
The fire is believed to have caused $400,000 worth of damage to the facility. Four trucks from the Hallam and Dandenong CFA stations attended the incident. The site is owned by council and is currently not being used. Last year it acted as a polling booth for the State Election. A council spokesperson said the City of Casey was currently considering the “future use” of the site. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or visit www. crimestoppers.com.au.

Car park may never re-open SECURITY fears mean the public car park under the multi-million civic centre may never re-open. The 40-space car park has been closed to the public since 27 October while a security audit was conducted. Chief executive John Bennie said the council was briefed on the review’s findings “with a range of proposals to improve security in the precinct” last month. At a council meeting last Monday, Mr Bennie said the car park “may never be re-opened“. Councillor Matthew Kirwan said permanently closing the car park to the public “would send a message that we are fearful of visitors to the civic centre”. “We made a promise to Greater Dandenong residents that we would build a civic centre that would have parking available for residents visiting the library, the customer service centre and the rest of the building - a promise we should keep unless there is a very good reason not to.” Councillor Peter Brown said the car park couldn’t be opened due to several “weaknesses” on the site, which allow unlawful access to the building. - CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Shed load of men’s multicultural support THE Springvale Multicultural Men’s Shed is a shed with a difference. It is space for multicultural men to come together to meet, talk and share. But it is more than that - it is a space where all men can feel welcome, a place for men to understand the difference in others and accept and celebrate those differences. Springvale is one of the most multicultural cities in Victoria with local residents coming from 156 birthplaces. More than half of the residents were born overseas and just under half come from countries where English is not the main spoken language. This diversity means Springvale is culturally rich but for many residents the struggle with low or no income is a daily concern.
COMMUNITY
VOICE
JANE FARRELL SPRINGVALE MULTICULTURAL MEN’S SHED SECRETARY
Unemployment is high, English still developing and many men are socially isolated from the wider community. The Springvale Multicultural Men’s Shed is purpose built to empower men to become more self-aware in a confidential and supportive environment, to share experiences of different cultures, to share without judgment, to provide emotional support, to foster networking, to support men in transition from
redundancy, bereavement, retirement, ill health or relocation, and address men’s health (physical, emotional and social) in the community. We believe there is enormous value to the wider community in building friendships and connections among men from many different cultural backgrounds. Our shed is a safe place for sharing concerns and fears, learning new skills, building understanding and engagement in a culturally sensitive environment. Our shed is not a place for tools and woodwork - we offer English at work classes, an art group with drawing and painting, and a weekly catchup cafe where men come together each Wednesday over a cup of tea or coffee
to talk and listen to one another. From the cafe, men can be linked to other activities in our shed or to organisations in the community that can offer valuable services, information and assistance. For men who are not in work we will deliver skills, vocational training and mentoring in preparation for employment. Information sessions will be available on key issues - health, community safety, family violence, financial/budgeting, legal issues - rights and advice. For men who are interested in woodwork, we partner and refer to neighbourhood sheds. After four years of hard work by our committed volunteers and our committee of management we opened
our shed with a celebration welcome barbecue on 14 February. More than 130 people came to see the shed, eat, meet and talk in a demonstration of what we do. We are very grateful for all the support we receive from volunteers, other sheds, donors and funding partners and we continue to build partnerships to fund our programs. Our shed is a place for multicultural men although we welcome women and families. It is a shed that encourages belonging and a shed that will make a difference to our local community. New members are welcome! The shed is at 47 Balmoral Avenue, Springvale, and can be contacted through springvalemms@gmail.com.

A model role for sporting Lyndale LYNDALE Secondary College will be used as a role model to show other schools in Victoria the best way to introduce the new school subject, sport education. All schools will be required to introduce the subject next year and Lyndale sprinted ahead of the rest by introducing it at the start of 1995 at year-seven and eight level. A feature of the college’s own program is that students can choose four different sports every year. This term, years-seven and eight students are sampling cricket, softball, tennis, swimming, health and fitness, basketball, volleyball, badminton and lawn bowls.
Future activities will include golf, cross country running, soccer and football.

Security call over fights By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS RISING mob violence around Dandenong's Civic Square has seen one youth stabbed and others bashed and king-hit. Last Tuesday afternoon, police took more than an hour to disperse a 60-strong aggressive gathering of students from three high schools in the Civic Square area. The incident followed a similar violent gathering on Friday 6 March during which a 15-year-old Endeavour Hills boy was stabbed multiple times.
Last week, the council announced a two-week trial of extra unarmed security guards at its civic centre, while police have stepped up patrols. However, Councillor Peter Brown, who witnessed some of the trouble, said more needed to be done to quell the situation. He said security personnel should show zero tolerance for the anti-social behaviour before someone “ends up in the morgue�. Cr Brown said the council should allocate some of its
“huge budget� towards supporting the police. He said guards may need to be armed, especially if young people were carrying weapons into the civic precinct. “We have created a (library and civic square) which is very beautiful. “The last thing parents with young kids want to go through is these warring groups. “We just have to get the message across to these young people - we’re not going to let you wreck something we’ve worked hard to create for you
and the rest of the community.� Cr Brown said “brazen� youths had been making territorial claims in front of the Civic Centre’s library, citing several incidents in recent weeks. “If we have to have armed security guards, we should use them. If threats are made to security personnel we should take no hostages - it should be zero tolerance. “My instinct is it could be a turf war. We don’t want them to turn Dandenong into a little favela.�
Greater Dandenong chief executive John Bennie, who has recently expressed a preferred “zero-tolerance� approach to anti-social behaviour, said the incidents in the civic precinct “fall into the category of nuisance behaviour rather than more serious crime�. He said a security review of the precinct undertaken in December had found a “range of proposals to improve security�. The trial of extra security guards would be re-assessed with police in two weeks, he
said. Police local area commander Inspector Bruce Kitchen said patrols of the area had been since increased in known Dandenong hot spots such as near Dandenong railway station, the former library and the civic centre. He said police would exclude and move people on. Those tactics were successfully used to drive out troublemakers at Mills Reserve recently, he said. “The message I want to get out is police won’t tolerate anti-social behaviour.�
Doors are set to slam shut after funding cut By CASEY NEILL A SUPPORT service for African families will close its doors within months after losing Federal Government funding. African Communities Foundation Australia (ACFA) in Noble Park has joined a growing list of Greater Dandenong relief agencies that missed out on Department of Social Services (DSS) grants. The Journal previously reported that Springvale Benevolent society would lose $70,000, Dandenong Benevolent Society $58,000 and Cambodian Association of Victoria $75,000. ACFA chairman Ary
Lyimo said the organisation, which served the south-east, accessed funding from other sources. “They only supplement what we do really and they are not guaranteed,� he said. And he said the grants generally couldn’t go towards wages. “We’re relying on the Federal Government to employ staff,� he said. “We do rely heavily on volunteers, but they still need someone to co-ordinate that. “The funding has been going down over the last couple of years, from $400,000 to $300,000, to $200,000 and then to zero.
“Our services have not declined. We’ve had to replace staff with volunteers, but the number of programs we’ve run haven’t gone down.� ACFA offers employment services, computer literacy classes and homework classes, and help with issues around settlement, alcohol abuse and family violence. It helps people with advocacy and court appearances, runs a radio program and engages with youth to foster positive community relationships. “We are seen as the only go-to organisation, really,� Mr Lyimo said. Mr Lyimo hopes the

nity program,� he said. “That’s going to disappear as well.� Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus said organisations like ACFA improved social cohesion and helped often-
marginalised community members to get on their feet and contribute. He said many groups that were no longer being funded delivered niche or culturally-specific ser-
vices. “The organisations taking over these services, despite their best intentions, simply do not have the history or the resources to take on many of these projects,� he said.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD GREG McMahon loves an opportunity. And as the new principal of Doveton College he sees his new job as just that. After eight a half years as principal at Parkdale Secondary College in Mordialloc, Mr McMahon was officially unveiled earlier this year as the new person for Doveton College’s top job. “I’m a person who loves challenges and Doveton has this massive potential,� Mr McMahon said. “It’s a school unlike any other school I’ve come across, in the sense of its opportunity and what it offers to the community.� Earlier this month River Gum Ward councillors Wayne Smith and Damien Rosario visited Doveton College to meet Mr McMahon and the college staff to discuss the school’s direction. The state and federal governments funded Prep to Year 9 school opened in 2012 and was created in the wake of four other local primary schools closing down Endeavour Hills Secondary College, Doveton Heights, Doveton North and Eumemmerring. Mr McMahon said Doveton College not only provided primary and secondary school education but also several other programs for parents and younger aged children. “This is an organisation

That might be an apprenticeship, a traineeship, TAFE, or university. “From my perspective, there are different pathways to suit everybody. “The one thing we can’t
have is young people without their next step in life.� The Colman Foundation, set up by retired businessman Julius Colman in 2005 to help children from disadvantaged backgrounds with their education, also contributed $1.8 million to the construction of Doveton College and its early childhood services. Mr McMahon said the
“This is what the new Australia will look like in 15 years’ time.� Doveton College’s new principal also foreshadowed new opportunities for the school including plans for a new sport program. “I love it, every day is a new challenge and every day I can see greater opportunities,� Mr McMahon said.
school was made up of students from a plethora of different international backgrounds, including Afghani, Iranian, Tamil, Sudanese, Burmese, Thai and many others. “We’ve got 52 different nationalities in the school. It’s a complex school in the sense that there’s a number of different groups but it’s invigorating,� he said.

Gun gang force out couple and steal their car
PSYCHIATRISTS are shunning Casey, Greater Dandenong annd the south-east corridor in favour of their leafy home suburbs, according to a local mental health director. Eastern Regions Mental Health Association services development director Christine Thornton said it contributed to a large inequity in available mental health services. “Most psychiatrists and clinical psychologists tend to go into the city or work near their homes. “We’re finding fewer are coming into the Greater Dandenong area to work. “We see it with a lack of doctors going to rural areas. “It’s something we need to take seriously or we’re going to have a
greater disparity for people receiving support.” There is increasing strain on available mental health services in the south-east growth corridor. ERMHA’s community health service turns away people due to an “astronomical” waiting list, Ms Thornton said. A Monash University study published last week confirmed a twotiered mental health system. It found Medicare-funded psychiatrists and clinical psychologists in Greater Dandenong were accessed at half the rate of those in the substantially more socio-economically advantaged City of Bayside. The study concluded the federal Better Access initiative introduced in 2006 to improve access to mental
health care had not provided “universality”. Liz Carr, acting director of Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council, said the study showed that GPs - who could refer patients onto the Medicare listed mental health services - were not well enough informed. “I suspect GPs are making value judgements on the socio-economic status of the person based on where they live. “They think you can’t afford to pay so you will have to wait for a psychiatrist. “This affects those who don’t meet the criteria for involuntary treatment but need psychiatric support - and live in the wrong suburb.” Ms Carr said “way too few” psychiatrists bulk-billed even though
they were still paid a handsome government rebate. “I’ve seen people quite desperately trying to find a psychiatrist and really struggling with it.” The situation was exacerbated by the “scarcity” of public mental health services - including a chronic lack of hospital mental health beds. “The public health system doesn’t discriminate but it’s just not enough.” According to health department statistics, Dandenong Hospital - the region’s main mental health unit - is failing to meet an 80 per cent benchmark for moving an adult patient from emergency to a mental health bed within eight hours. Between July 2013 and September 2014, the hospital’s score was in the 60s, apart from a 78 for the April-June quarter last year.
Paramedics face constant patient abuse By LACHLAN MOORHEAD JUST weeks after speaking out about being the victim of assault while on the job, paramedic Bracha Rafael was witness to another act of violence towards medical staff. Ms Rafael, who regularly patrols the Endeavour Hills area, said she recently saw an injured and intoxicated man she’d transported to hospital attempt to hit a male nurse and verbally abuse him. The incident came just a couple of shifts after Ms Rafael spoke to the media about two separate occasions in which she was threatened and also the victim of attempted sexual assault. New figures released last month showed there were 314 reports of assault and aggression towards paramedics in 2013-’14 - almost one per day. “Two or three shifts after the initial press conference, I helped transport a guy who was intoxicated and had an injury. "He had been quite agitated on scene and we’d requested police but he had so far been compliant and we decided we were comfortable taking him to hospital,” Ms Rafael said. “But as soon as the male nurse came in, the patient was up and swinging at him and making a barrage of verbal assaults - what could they have done to prevent it?” Unfortunately, this show of patient aggression towards medical staff and paramedics is not uncom-
Paramedic Bracha Rafael, here with colleague Ben Dalton, has been the victim of threats and an attempted sexual assault while working on the job. mon to Ms Rafael. When she was still working as a graduate paramedic, the 25-year-old was threatened and intimidated by a woman, whose seemingly unconscious mother needed help. “At some point, we’d requested
police, then when a second paramedic arrived he knew the patient, and within a couple of minutes she’d woken up and demanded that we leave,” Ms Rafael said. “We were happy to leave, we packed our bags away. I jumped into
the passenger seat of the ambulance and the daughter pulled the door open and started abusing me. “She was very aggressive, and she never at any point offered any particular rationale as to why she was so angry.” Ms Rafael said she’d been very shaken by the incident. “I’d frozen when it happened, and I was concerned by that,” she said. “I felt my actions weren’t helpful, I needed to have a plan if that happened again. “I needed to take different actions.” And it did happen again, this time when Ms Rafael was working as a qualified paramedic. While transporting another intoxicated and injured man the patient attempted to touch her inappropriately inside the ambulance. “He spent most of the trip dozing, and when I was checking his blood pressure I felt his hand between my thighs,” she said. “I said what are you doing? “It was the only time I’d sworn at a patient. “It was effective, he woke up, and he appeared remorseful and I demanded that the patient say sorry.” While she felt she’d handled the incident well under the circumstances, Ms Rafael admitted she wouldn’t have been able to treat any other patients that night due to her nerves.

A COUPLE were held up at gunpoint in Doveton by thugs who stole their car and later used it in an aggravated burglary and a high speed police chase. About 2.30am on Saturday 7 March, the Pakenham couple in their fifties were stopped at the intersection of Box and Power roads when a white van pulled up beside them. Cardinia Crime Investigation Unit’s Detective Senior Sergeant Trevor Smith said three men jumped out of the van, one armed with a handgun, and forced the couple out of their 2009 Toyota Aurion sedan. “A white van pulled up on the passenger side of the car stopped at the lights. A man produced a handgun and asked for their keys,” he said. Police believe two of the men took off in the couple’s car while the other retreated back to the van which had no registration plates. Casey Crime Investigation Unit’s Detective Senior Sergeant Garry Kear said the heist was not reported to police for about 20 minutes due to language difficulties. Two hours later, the stolen car was used in an aggravated burglary at a Pakenham home. Detective Senior Constable Marisa Owens from Dandenong Embona Taskforce said the intruders targeted the Tahoe Circuit home about 4.30am and took off with about $500 worth of personal items before sparking a high speed police chase. “The victims were home at the time. They have awoken and the offenders have left the premises.” She said the intruders entered the Pakenham home via an unlocked door. Police pursued the speeding car along the Princes Highway and Monash Freeway but the suspects fled away at dangerous speeds. The Toyota’s registration number is JPP 614 and is described as being a silvery, brown colour. Dandenong Embona Taskforce is investigating the offences.

Selfless chefs’ new kitchen GOODWILL can be hard to find. But in Endeavour Hills, it seems selflessness is a common trait. This month local volunteer organisation the Andrews Centre, which helps many people in need, officially opened its new kitchen, which was renovated by the Endeavour Hills Rotary Club. Andrews Centre manager Judy Martin said the organisation was incredibly grateful for the club’s $7000 donation. “It’s a great help because, prior to the Rotary Club putting in the new kitchen, we
didn’t even have a flue in the kitchen - it was a spa every time we cooked in there!” she said. “It was very hot. “So just having the flue made it so much easier to run our food co-operative. “It was a lot easier to see what we were cooking.” Ms Martin said the donation was the biggest renovation the kitchen had seen and came complete with a new movable and multi-purpose bench. “The only thing we had in the old kitchen that was good was the oven, which the Rotary Club had also put in a num-
ber of years ago,” she said. Endeavour Hills Rotarian John O’Reilly said the club was impressed by the work the facility’s selfless volunteers did for the less fortunate. “They work in the community, we work for the community, and these people are just doing amazing things,” he said. “They are all professional people who have retired and they volunteer their time. “We were so impressed with what they do, and we thought let’s not just do the kitchen but let’s also throw some money at them, too.”

MEDICALLY SPEAKING Multidisciplined approach
The team at Balanced Insight Psychology and Just for Kids Psychology in Endeavour Hills. 135927
Get the right balance BALANCED Insight Psychology and Just for Kids Psychology in Endeavour Hills offers just what its name suggests, a balanced, relaxed and supportive environment for all ages to receive specialized support when life throws a curve ball. The diverse team of psychologists and counsellors have been providing tailored support in Endeavour Hills for two years and offer bulk billing for family healthcare card holders. The support service treats a wide range of psychological issues including autism, ADHD, oppositional defiance, anger and behavioural management and anxiety and depression. Psychologist and owner Lis Arnheim has worked in the field
for more than 20 years and said the clinic’s relaxed space is what makes it different. “Our practice is unlike regular clinics instead we provide a downto-earth environment, our clinic has a homely feel which allows clients to feel safe, calm and more relaxed. “Our staff are skilled in a wide range of qualifications from psychology, counselling, mental health and applied behavioural analysis therapy,” Ms Arnheim said. “We work as a team, we are diverse, enthusiastic, friendly and approachable.” The clinic organises a free function for young patients and their families each year at Christmas to celebrate their progress. “We provide groups for children
that are psycho-social and psychoeducational which are tailored to meet each child’s learning needs.” Other assessments offered at the clinic include cognitive, autism, behavioural, learning disabilities, emotional, giftedness and special needs funding as well as social skills groups, early intervention and sensory play. “All of our staff are down to earth and care for the needs of our clients whole-heartedly, we provide services that are tailored to meet the needs of children, adolescents and adults,” Ms Arnheim said. Balanced Insight Psychology and Just for Kids Psychology are open Tuesday to Saturday and can accommodate late night appointments. Phone 9700 7165 to book.
THERE’S a fear that goes through a person when they are told they have cancer. A cancer diagnosis affects not only an individual, but also family and friends. They may feel scared, uncertain, or angry about the unwanted changes cancer will bring to their life and the lives of their loved ones. They may feel numb or confused. They may have trouble listening to, understanding or remembering what people tell them during this time. On top of this is the overwhelming complexity of the treatments available to them. This will include any combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, biological therapy, and experimental therapies. As well as directed cancer treatments there is psychological and nutritional support, and exercise programs that all improve overall outcomes. All cancer patients deserve this multidisciplinary approach. Multidisciplinary cancer care (MCC) is an integrated team approach to health care in which medical and allied health care professionals consider all relevant treatment options and collaboratively develop an individual treatment and care plan for each patient, taking into account the personal preferences of the patient. The Cancer Council estimates that 1164 people will be diagnosed with cancer this year in Casey/Cardinia. This figure will rise substantially in the next 10 years, as the incidence of cancer is rising by five per cent per year in Australia and the population of Casey/Cardinia will rise by an estimated 41 per cent by 2021. It is now estimated that one in two people born after 1960 will develop cancer. Until recently, cancer patients from the area had to travel significant distances for chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The burden of excessive travel puts significant unnecessary strain on patients and
From left, Oliver Klein, Esther Lin and some of the team at OCV. their carers, given that treatment is often given cyclically for months and causes significant side-effects. Fortunately for local residents, the Berwick Specialist Centre is now open and providing care for patients closer to home. There is an undeniable healthcare need for cancer services in Casey/Cardinia, and it is this need that has led to an exciting collaboration between St John of God, Radiation Oncology Victoria (ROV) and six oncologists including Oncology Clinics Victoria (OCV) to provide comprehensive cancer services at the 55 Kangan Drive site. As of 18 March, day chemotherapy services are being provided by St John of God, ambulatory radiation therapy by ROV which opened in February and Imaging will be provided by MIA. Medical oncology will be provided by a team of six oncologists and dietetics, exercise physiology, and psycho-oncology services provided by OCV. Oliver Klein and Esther Lin are two of the oncologists who work with the OCV team. Appointments can be made by ringing 1300 300 977 and further information can be obtained from www.ocv.net.au.

Selfies tell a story IT STARTED with a throwaway line. And now Michael Knowles is taking a ‘selfie’ of himself every day for the next year, as part of his own special project. Michael, from Narre Warren South, is almost 90 days into the project, for which he is posing with a different person in a selfie every day – many of whom are local Casey stalwarts. “I started the project one morning when I was getting a haircut with my long-term hairdresser,” he said. “We took a selfie in the mirror of the hairdressing salon with him posing Charlie’s Angels style with the hair dryer. “I stupidly said, ‘I should do this every day for 365 days of the year’.” “And so the next day, I did it again and so the rest is history.” Since starting the project, Michael has taken photos of himself with a range of local identities and community campaigners. When posting each photo to his selfie Facebook page, Michael includes a small biography and background for each person. Michael said some of his favourite selfies include photos with TV personality Coxy, Casey mayor Mick Morland, and a basketball team where the players were also all jockeys.
“It’s really fun, it creates little pictures of people and tells their stories,” Michael said. “People say interesting things. I also work as a specialist vet, so you’ll see a few animals in the photos. “It takes a bit of planning, usually for the week I have a few ideas as to who I will get in the selfies. People are connected with so many people but just don’t realise it. When you start to connect with them you can string heaps together.” Michael has also set his own list of rules to abide by when undertaking the project. The photo must be taken by him, it must be a person or living animal featured in the photo, and it must be taken on the day. “I am also thinking how I can make it a charitable event – been thinking of putting a dollar in a jar for every selfie and then sponsoring a World Vision child at the end of the year when I get there,” Michael said. Michael’s wife has selfie #365 reserved, while Star News photographer STEWART CHAMBERS featured in one of this week’s photos. To check out Michael’s selfie project, visit www.facebook.com/365Selfies, and to contact him email superknowles2000@yahoo.com.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Breakfast’s recipe for success By BRIDGET SCOTT BUSINESS owners from throughout the region had a morning filled with food last Wednesday when about 200 people turned out for the first event of the Casey-Cardinia Breakfast Series. Renowned authors and television presenters Matthew Evans and Nick Haddow kicked off the series as the guest speakers. Driven by hunger for fresh produce and a good piece of cheese, the two now both reside in Tasmania where they each run their own food businesses. Mr Evans said chefs now said he “moved to the dark side” when he made the choice to become a critic and started to review some of Melbourne and Sydney’s top restaurants. Later, he fell in love with the idea of home reared produce and now runs a small farm and grows and prepares his own produce. Mr Evans is also the author of nine books which include Never Order Chicken on a Monday and The Weekend Cook. Mr Haddow, a “failed marine biologist” founded Bruny Island Cheese in 2003 which was awarded the Telstra National Business of the Year in 2013. Matthew and Nick co-starred in all four series of Gourmet Farmer. The two also co-authored The Gourmet Farmer Deli Book and The Gourmet Farmer Goes Fishing with their friend Ross O’Meara. Guests at the breakfast included employees from last year’s Casey-

LANDLORDS ENJOY RENTAL BOOSTS While rental vacancy rates in regional Victoria have remained stable in early 2015, the rental market in Geelong tightened. And there was good news for investors with rents in all three main regional centres increasing. The January vacancy rate for regional Victoria, based on a six-month average trend, was 2.2 per cent, the same as in December last year. That was more favourable to landlords than the situation in Melbourne where the total vacancy rate was 3.1 per cent. While the vacancy rate in Geelong was 3.4 per cent, that was down from 3.7 per cent in December.
2 DANDENONG JOURNAL Monday, 16 March, 2015
Ballarat and Bendigo recorded a lower vacancy rate than Geelong 2.8 per cent for both regional centres - but saw a slight increase on December, with Bendigo up from 2.7 per cent and Ballarat up from 2.6 per cent. Median house rents were up in all three centres and agents are reporting investor interest - both from local and interstate investors, encouraged by the low interest rate environment. Geelong’s January median house rent of $350 was up from $335 in December. In Ballarat, the median of $285 was up from $280 while in Bendigo there was a $15 rise to $305. The overall regional median rent
remained stable at $300. Unit rentals were a mixed bag - up from $280-$295 in Geelong - but in Ballarat, along with the easing in the vacancy rate, there was a fall in the median unit rental of $15, down to $235. Overall, the regional Victoria median for units remained at $250. January and February are traditionally a time of flux in the rental market - students return from holiday and many tenants use the new year as a time to change their living situation. Also some of those who sold in December but have not found a new home over the traditionally quiet summer find themselves in rental accommodation while
househunting. In Melbourne, there was a slight tightening in the rental vacancy rate over January and a slight fall - 0.3 per cent - in the median house rent. This was because of lower rents in the middle suburbs where vacancy rates were up in the second half of 2014. The outer suburbs of Melbourne have also been attracting investors. Vacancy rates there have been tight, ranging from 1.8 to 1.9 per cent over the past six months. Median house rents in the outer suburbs remained stable at $360 while outer suburban unit rents fell slightly from $320 to $315.

WE LOVE IT
PAKENHAM Attention, all the hard work is done. This is a rare opportunity to develop a 1747 square metre plot and would appeal to someone who was looking for a great development opportunity in one of the fastest growing corridors in Melbourne’s south east. This prime parcel of land located in the heart of Pakenham is close to all the amenities including schools, kindergartens, parks, reserves and bike tracks. All the hard work is taken out of this development because it comes with council approved plans and permits for an additional four units to be constructed at the rear of the two existing houses. As a bonus each existing dwelling comes with three bedrooms and is tenanted bringing in a healthy rental return for the

astute investor. Approved plans and permits include design and structural plans, drainage plans and landscape plans. Other features which make this opportunity very attractive is that it is located a short distance from two major shopping centres, there is easy access to and from the Princess Highway and Monash freeway and it is close to public transport. This is a great investment for the savvy developer which could potentially make a handsome return in a relatively short period of time.

Love beyond bounds By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY single mum Simone can’t put a price on the love for her son. Five-month-old Isaac was born prematurely at 27 weeks with a hole in his heart and, as a result, suffers from chronic lung disease. The little boy relies on five litres of continuous low flow oxygen administered through nasal prongs to stay alive. Unable to work full-time to be able to care for Isaac, Simone also needs to check on her son every 20 minutes or so throughout the night. This was before TLC for Kids recently provided Simone from Narre Warren South with a video baby monitor to help her to check on Isaac. It comes as TLC for Kids joined several Bakers Delight stores in Endeavour Hills, Berwick and Narre Warren to take part in Bundraiser Day last Saturday 14 March. For this event, at least $1 for every pack of hot cross buns sold will be donated to TLC for Kids to go towards helping sick children and their families. Simone, 26, is one of those in need. She was rushed to hospital two months before Isaac was due to arrive, not knowing if her baby would survive. “I was beside myself; I did nothing out of the usual. I was sitting down at dinner with my family and then it happened,” she said. “I said to my mum to take me to hospital straight away. “And at Berwick Hospital, they couldn’t tell me if he was going to be OK.” When Isaac was born, he
IN BRIEF Underground plaza attack THIEVES bashed and robbed a man at Dandenong Plaza earlier this month. The 37-year-old Frankston man was speaking to two people in an underground car park about 11am on 5 March when he was struck to the back of the head. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Tony Lavars said the attackers kicked and punched the victim while he was on the ground and stole his bum bag, which contained cash and credit cards. He said police were looking for a man and woman of Islander appearance aged between 30 and 35 years old. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
Paddock fire
Simone Smith with young Isaac, who was born prematurely at 27 weeks. 135802 was taken to the Royal Women’s Hospital where he had to stay for more than 100 days. “Every day I went into the hospital, in the 108 days I had about eight days off,” Simone said. “Day in, day out, from
morning till night. I felt guilty leaving. “If I could have brought my own blow-up mattress, I would have.” Simone raises Isaac with great help from her parents and
brother, at home in Narre Warren South. “My family are fantastic, honestly I don’t know where it’d be without my parents - they’ve been my rock,” she said. “This is by far the hardest
Picture: GARY SISSONS thing I’ve done, but it’s also the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. “You have so much more love for your child, there’s no price on your child. The amount of costs I had to pay, there’s no price.”
POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a car fire in Dandenong North on 5 March. CFA crews extinguished the Toyota Hilux dual cab ute in the Dandenong Police Paddocks off Brady Road about 11.30pm. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Tony Lavars said the fire was deliberately lit and urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Philip turns a page By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG-RAISED author Philip Taffs has some words of wisdom for budding writers in his home town following the release of his first novel. “If I can do it, you can do it,” he said. “Writers can come from anywhere. Never, ever give up. Just keep going.” Mr Taffs wanted to be a writer from the age of five. He completed an honours degree in English at Monash University before starting a career in advertising. In 2003 he started what would be an 11-year writing process for psychological horror novel The Evil Inside after a visit to a New York hotel. “It was a few doors down from the famous Dakota building where John Lennon was shot and where Roman Polanski filmed Rosemary’s Baby, which is one of the prime influences on the book,” he said. “I re-wrote it about 10 times and I got rejected in Australia and America and the UK by about 70 different publishers. “In desperation I decided to self-publish in 2012. I didn’t want to self-publish because I felt like it was copping out, it wasn’t the real deal.” He approached a new batch of UK publishers following positive reviews and Quercus took him on in 2013.
Dandenong-raised author Philip Taffs. “They published all the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo books in the UK,” he said. The Evil Inside in now available in Europe, Spain, Portugal and Australia and has been pegged for a possible US release. Mr Taffs lived in Dandenong until he was 17. “I miss playing down the Dandenong Creek. I used to spend hours and hours playing down there,” he said. He attended the now-defunct Greenslopes Primary
School. “We used to call it Pentridge Primary because many of my former classmates ended up in prison,” he laughed. “It was a bit of a hard knocks school, there was lots of kids there from the Housing Commission. “Getting to see how the other half live at an early age does make you more aware of society and gives you a broader perspective.” Mr Taffs recently re-
turned to his childhood stomping ground. “I went to visit my grandmother in the hospital and I wanted to see the house where I was born, which was in Clow Street,” he said. “It was one of a number of flats. “I knocked on the door and this old guy opened the door in his PJs in the middle of the day. “He invited me in. We started chatting and I said
‘what’s your name?’.” The man said he was Louis - the same name as Mr Taff’s son. He took a stroll around the suburb and noticed more of an African influence than when he was growing up. “Cosmopolitism is really good. The more varied the number of tribes or different sorts of people, you can learn from each other and, hopefully, gain a bit of empathy for the way other people live,” he said.
Speaking out for learning By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE demand for English tutors in migrant-rich Noble Park is ceaseless. Volunteer tutor Marlene De Souza, in her 12th year at the AMES Noble Park program, says she hasn’t tired of helping migrants and refugees learn basic English. She has built strong friendships and learnt much from her students, she said. What impresses her is her clients’ hunger to learn.

she equips her students with the lingual skills for everyday life such as going shopping, visiting a doctor and getting a job. Tutors don’t

SPORT Third time done and dusted By JARROD POTTER THIRD time’s the charm for Steph Cumming as her Townsville Fire finally knocked off the Bendigo Spirit in the WNBL grand final. Cumming, 24, originally from Endeavour Hills, made the switch to the Queensland-based WNBL team three seasons ago, but hadn’t tasted the same success she had with Dandenong until this week. After featuring in both of Townsville’s WNBL grand-final losses - in 2012/13 and 2013/14 - Cumming and the Fire went one step better on Sunday as the home crowd got to cheer on
the Fire’s 75-65 win over the Spirit. Cumming sunk 12 points in the finale, from 34 minutes court-time, as she helped shoot the Fire ahead with two of her signature long-range treys. She thought it was a fitting farewell for her team mate - WNBL legend Rachael McCully (nee Flanagan) - to end her WNBL career in the team’s finest moment. “It was brilliant - there are no words that can describe it,” Cumming said. “Especially to send Flanny (McCully) off that way was amazing. “The time it hit me (Townsville winning the championship) was when
Steph Cumming (left) and Rosie Fadljevic celebrate their long overdue championship victory. 135720 Picture: NQ IMAGES Flanny had two foul shots and there was less than a minute to go. “I looked at the clock and thought we were 10 up with a minute to go, surely we couldn’t lose it from here. “I looked at Flanny and she still had her game-face on and I had to calm myself down for a little bit longer.” Townsville has been the side to beat all WNBL season as Suzy Batkovic, Cayla Francis and Mia Newley formed
a huge front-court presence alongside Cumming and McCully. “It was really good this year - the team really got along well and everything just fell into place for us,” Cumming said. “We were lucky as we didn’t really have any major injuries and we get along so well off the court as well so it made it that much easier.” Cumming has signed on to play
with Kilysth in the SEABL winter basketball competition, with a former Rangers’ team mate Sam Woosnam coaching the Cobras. Doubling the Endeavour Hills flair at Townsville, former Dandenong Ranger Rosie Fadljevic was also part of the Fire’s WNBL championship winning squad - as she averaged - but only played two seconds in the grand final just before half-time.
It’s all off! Dandenong and Hawthorn-Monash University have cancelled the proposed Victorian Picture: JARROD POTTER Premier Cricket merger. 136076
By JARROD POTTER PANTHERS and Hawks will not merge after talks between the two Victorian Premier Cricket Clubs fell apart this week. With Monash University’s Clayton campus no long having available space for the cricket club, HawthornMonash University Cricket Club had planned to merge with Dandenong for the upcoming 2015/16 season. This is no longer the case after both sides decided to part ways once again and pursue other options for the Hawthorn relocation. In a statement on the Dandenong Cricket Club website, the Panthers stated the Hawks had left the table on negotiations as the members could not be convinced about ‘differences in club culture’ going forward. “Hawthorn Monash University Cricket Club advised us that they were withdrawing from the merger citing an inability to reach consensus
in some critical factors and differences in club culture, a decision they have since conveyed to their members,” the Dandenong statement said. “The withdrawal by Hawthorn Monash University comes as a shock given that at our last joint meeting we identified a few issues of mutual concern and undertook to discuss them in a further joint meeting after talks within each club. “The Dandenong Cricket Club entered the merger in good faith under a draft heads of agreement that included a process of mediation and support in the event it was needed. “We will now turn our focus toward building a strong, sustainable future under our own name starting with consideration of the coaching panel going forward to next season.” Cricket Victoria mirrored this sentiment in a statement on Wednesday night, stating dissatisfaction over the sides’ inability to work through their issues ahead of the planned
amalgamation. “Cricket Victoria (CV) acknowledges with disappointment that Dandenong Cricket Club (DCC) and Hawthorn Monash University Cricket Club (HMUCC) have discontinued negotiations for an intended merger,” the CV statement said. “Discussions between club representatives on the detailed terms of a suitable heads of agreement have broken down over the past week. “Accordingly, CV has withdrawn all amalgamation investment and incentives, leaving both clubs to now focus on their respective preparations for season 2015-16 and beyond.” Speculation is circulating that Noble Park, a Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association (VSDCA) team, has re-entered negotiations with Hawthorn-Monash University to merge, while Cricket Victoria has had to suspend the search for a new 18th Victorian Premier Cricket club until the matter was resolve.

Spoljaric just keeps getting better By JARROD POTTER VENTURING into uncharted DDCA territory, Cranbourne captain Steve Spoljaric was once again named the best in the association as he earned his fourth Alan Wookey Medal. Spoljaric, fresh to Cranbourne this season after four years at Parkfield, continued to be the form player of the competition as he rattled off 623 runs and 31 wickets in the regular season. Although he trailed throughout the night - first to Springvale South skipper Craig Slocombe then the Bloods spinning all-rounder Ruwantha Kellepotha - a six-vote haul against his old side Parkfield in Round 9 pushed the Cranbourne all-rounder to the front. Spoljaric finished on 31 votes, ahead of Kellepotha (27) and Mordialloc duo Monto Perera (24) and Chathura Athukorala (18). “It’s alright I suppose…
it’s part of my job isn’t it,” Spoljaric said after winning his fourth Wookey Medal. “I thoroughly enjoy it.” Without hyperbole, DDCA president Michael Hawking called Spoljaric “the best player to ever play in the association” and Spoljaric’s numbers certainly stack up that way throughout his five DDCA seasons. After coming across from Victorian Premier Cricket where he won first grade’s highest accolade - the Ryder Medal in 2007/08 with Hawthorn-Monash University - Spoljaric has plundered all Turf 1 opposition for 3334 runs at 52.09 and 132 wickets at 13.55 combined. His final knock of 2014/15 - a gallant 88 chasing Heinz Southern Districts’ 216 in the Turf 1 semi-final - was what Spoljaric thought was his best yet - a scary sign of things to come from the dominant batsman.
“Sad to say that it was actually probably the best I’ve hit them all year, so I was probably going to be immoveable I suppose if we didn’t run out of partners, but hey, that’s cricket,” Spoljaric said. Earning the minor premiership will be what Spoljaric looks back on most fondly from season 2014/15 as Cranbourne moved from Turf 1 new kids on the block to ladder-leaders in their first season back up. He hopes the next generation of Cranbourne’s 1st XI learned a lot from their first Turf 1 season and he thought there were still bigger things to come down at Casey Fields. “Finishing top, when I thought at the start of the year we’d be doing well to play finals, with what we had,” Spoljaric said. “Being so dominant during the year - I just hope they all learn something, that’s the key and I’m sure they have.”

Monto releases the hounds By JARROD POTTER MORDIALLOC (9/246) looked buried against Heinz Southern Cobras. The Bloodhounds were sent begging from the crease in droves on the first morning of the DDCA Turf 1 grand final as the Cobras struckâ&#x20AC;Ś and struckâ&#x20AC;Ś and then struck a few more times to leave Mordialloc in all sorts of trouble at 6/58. Justin Davis (3/63) seared through the top order - taking Tim Richardson (8) and Mordy skipper Monto Perera (0) in a single over rampage. Once Ian Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (21) gallant knock came to an end, it looked like Heinz would take the points on the first day... but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end of the tale by a long margin. Chathura Athukorala (72) turned the match on his own shoulders - anchoring a pair of lower-order 50 run partnerships to keep the Bloodhounds alive. Firstly with Stuart Squires (13) then a sensational stand with Cameron Tomkinson (62 not out) before Athukorala was finally sent to the sheds after Davis snared the must-have wicket. But the Bloodhounds kept sniffing out runs as Tomkinson and Nick Connellan (29) went the tonk. Connellan connected with a couple that flew onto rooves and Cheltenham Road to push Mordialloc past 200. They would finish on 246 with the 19-year-old Tomkinson undefeated in his first, and likely most memorable, Turf 1 half-century.
Michael Davies (3/48) toiled for the Cobras running through 26 overs and 14 maidens in his inaugural Turf 1 grand final appearance - while Paul Stockdale (3/79) was the other major wicket taker. Sunday belonged to Mordialloc as the Bloodhounds ripped through the Cobras (61). Patience was a virtue no Heinz bat could afford as reckless shots gave Mordialloc the upper hand. Cobrasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; captain Trevor Davies (25) top scored and with Matt Cox (10) proved the best two of the Reedy Reserve brigade. Ian Daniel (4/11) and Chathura Athukorala (2/17) excelled with the new leather to wipe out any chance of Heinz getting its first Turf 1 premiership, before Bloodhoundsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skipper Monto Perera (3/19) finished the job. It is Mordiallocâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first DDCA Turf 1 premiership. TURF 2 TURF 2 looks done and dusted as Narre Warren (6/147) has claimed first innings points against St Brigids/St Louis (143) after clawing its way back after a collapse.

VSDCA SOUTH EAST 1st XI - QUALIFYING FINALS (Day 1)
A steep hill to climb IT WILL be an uphill struggle for Noble Park and Endeavour Hills to advance to the semifinals as Ormond (256) and Caulfield (8/289) compiled monster innings. Caulfield was led by a trio of half-centuries at the top of the order as Peter Cross (55) and Ricky Damiano (53) combined with Luke Bartholomeusz (63). Bartholomeuszâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innings - plied off 170 balls against the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attack - took the match all but out of Endeavour Hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grasp as he pushed the tally through to 3/191 before he was finally dismissed. Shane Peake, four wickets, was the best of the Endeavour Hills contingent as he claimed the crucial scalps of Bartholomeusz and Damiano.
Matt Foenander, two wickets, and captain Chris Pereira, also held up their ends to try and halt Caulfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charge. Noble Park is up against it as well following a rampage from Ormondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rohan Wight (75), Grant Chessari (55) and Jim Wild (46). The Bulls will need to utilise the entirety of their attack to get the job done and advance through to the VSDCA semi-finals next week. PREMIER CRICKET VICTORIAN WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S - SEMI FINAL SEASONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S end came for Dandenong (120) as it could not muster those final few runs against Box Hill (8/162). The early scalp of Australian skipper Meg Lanning (5)
would have raised the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hopes, but from there Cassandra Brock (53) and Anna Lanning (35) ensured the Mustangs would bat out their overs and set an imposing target for Dandenong to chase. Julie Hunter (2/30) and Alana King (1/20) were the best of the Dandenong bowlers. The response got off to a horror start as Dandenong lost three early scalps, and the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; innings never recovered from there, despite the best efforts of Sophie Molineux (33) and Hunter (20). Full reports of the VSDCA qualifying finals will be available on the Dandenong Journal website - www.starcommunity.com.au - on Monday morning.

Battling to make Aspendaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turf 3 stay a short visit, Campbell combined with Josh Boyle

Fevola takes Cobras’ bite
Brendan Fevola, pictured playing for Casey Scorpions in 2011, has signed on for a one-off Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS appearance with Sandown Cobras. 65943
FROM the MCG to Edinburgh Reserve, former AFL Footballer Brendan Fevola will strap on the boots and don the Cobras’ tri-colour ahead of a one-off appearance with Sandown Cobras Football Netball Club in May. The Division-3 SFL club will gain a powerhouse full forward on Saturday 2 May as Fevola, 34, originally from Narre Warren, will play for the Cobras to coincide with the opening of the club’s new Springvale-based home ground facilities. With a natural country connection between Sandown coach Rick Bean and Yarrawonga - where Fevola currently plays in the Ovens and Murray
League - all the stars lined up to get the former Casey Scorpion/ Narre Warren dynamo back to the south east. “We had been talking about the concept of bringing in an ex-AFL footballer for a one off game for a period of time, which has been successfully done at other clubs from a financial point of view,” Sandown Cobras’ general manager Brett Phillips said. “The opportunity presented itself with our coach Rick having a connection with Yarrawonga, who happen to have a bye on the second of May, so it has fitted in with our first home game of the season, where we will launch our new facilities. “Brendan is still a big draw-
card in footy circles and we look forward to seeing a big crowd get down to Edinburgh Reserve on May 2. “Our opponent for the day will be our closest neighbour Lyndale and we look forward to a great contest” 34-year-old Fevola played 204 AFL Games (187 for Carlton and 17 for Brisbane) between 1999-2010, kicking 623 goals and earning Carlton’s goalkicking award seven times as well as being a two-time Coleman Medallist and threetime All Australian. Fevola was named co-coach of Yarrawonga in 2015 after a successful stint as the Ovens and Murray League’s interleague coach.
Stingrays… all just Dandy Aris bring down Comets By JARROD POTTER
By JARROD POTTER
A DANDY line-up is coming together for the Stingrays ahead of their 2015 TAC Cup season. Craig Black and his coaching staff have run their eye across the best talent in the south east and taken their pick of the best 50. The players have put in charge Lachlan Williams as their 2015 TAC Cup captain - a single captain this season down from the dual role the club had used in previous years. Williams - a wily midfielder/forward - will lead the team alongside vice-captains Mitch Cox and Lachie Batten while the greater leadership group also includes Brandon White, Keiran Collins, Jacob Weitering and Jake Lovett. “We’ve just gone for the one captain this year,” Black said. “I think his (Williams) preseason has been really good and he’s got a lot fitter. “You just hope the natural progression - his improvement from a 16 to 17-year-old was really good - and if he can take that step again and continually improve on last year
SHIFTING the heavens was a little easier this week for South Springvale, as Aris advanced past Casey Comets 1-0 in its FFA Cup - Victorian Preliminaries clash. No penalty shootouts, no extra time theatrics - just a comfortable one-goal win for Aris as it dispatched the Comets following a Dean Panagopoulos second-half goal. Panagopoulos got off his marker and behind the defence as Casey goalkeeper Faraz Zenoozi attacked off the goal-line to stop a cross. It would go over the Casey defence, leaving Panagopoulos to slot the eventual matchwinner in the 49th minute. Kostintinos Daskalakis continued to impress in his second match in the yellow and black stripes - sprinting through the centre third to set up a number of the goalbound attempts - while Zois Galanopoulos and Spiros Daskalakis also proved creative in the front third.

Our Rebel Blue test car rode on distinctive 20-inch Polestar rims shod with Michelin Pilot super sport 245/35ZR20 tyres. The drivetrain has been further developed with a new engine management calibration and transmission program to offer the driver greater control over gear selection, faster gearshifts, launch control and curve hold functionality to further improve driving dynamics. In the cabin driver sup-
port has been boosted to cope with spirited driving, using perforated leather seats and steering wheel. Polestar trim has blue contrast stitching, new bespoke sports pedals, and a left foot support highlight. Virtual instrument layout is clear, easy to read and changeable to offer up a range of information to the driver at the push of a steering wheel-mounted button. The Harman Kardon Sensus Connect Premium Sound system had some of the sharpest reproduction we’ve

POLESTAR is Volvo’s highperformance division. It hit the ground running in the V8 Supercar series in 2014 and, despite a shaky start to this year, looks to be on the verge of a successful season in 2015.Volvo planned to develop a performance car for real life, one that performs on all roads, in all conditions, all year around. Though we didn’t manage any track work during our week with the new S60 Polestar we certainly found it works well in real life road conditions. Even if these were in the plus-30 degree range, not the minus-40 something sometimes found in Sweden.The test vehicle, an S60 sedan, tips the sticker scales at $99,990, plus on-road costs, while the V60 Polestar is $102,990. Both cars are manufactured at the Volvo factory in Torslanda, Sweden.

active exhaust system, with 3.5-inch tail pipes, designed to reduce exhaust back pressure. Top speed is a regulated 250 km/h should you happen to be in the Northern Territory. The car pulls up from 100 km/h to a standstill in just 34 metres thanks to bespoke Brembo six-piston brake calipers and sporty ABS settings. Ohlins Polestar shock absorbers, and the latest generation Haldex all-wheel drive system, has been tuned for the Polestar. Electro-hydraulic powerassisted steering, electronic stability control and advanced stability control are equal to the sporting intent. Fuel efficiency is varied, with our S60 Polestar sipping an average of just 6.9 litres of petrol per 100 kilometres while cruising the motorway but gulping almost 20 litres per 100 in cramped city conditions. Ouch! The latest edition of the Volvo Polestar is no hardriding track-day special and we would be happy to use one as a daily commuter.

THE introduction of the allnew BMW 2 Series convertible sees the popular 1 Series cabrio confined to Australian motoring history. The new car looks like it has jumped a segment and the reality is that it’s 72mm longer at 4432mm, 27mm wider at 1774mm and the wheelbase has grown 30mm to 2690mm, ensuring its proportions and balance are just right when viewed in profile. The small BMW takes on a wide, purposeful stance highlighted by short overhangs. The basic formula is still the same - north-south engine at the front twisting the rear wheels, a car for the purist, and an eightspeed auto just to add spice to the driveline. The blossoming size gives the boot a usable extra 30 litres of space over the previous 1 Series and when the roof is up there are 335 litres available - enough for two aircraftapproved cabin bags and some soft luggage and wide enough for a set of golf clubs. Go topless and the boot shrinks down to 280 litres, still large enough for two small hand-luggage size suitcases. Even the ski-hatch is bigger at 450mm wide and 28mm higher to cater for longer stuff. The 2 Series is based on a platform related to the 3 Series but, and this is important, body rigidity is improved by 20 per cent allowing BMW engineers to hang the suspension off a more stable base. High and ultra-high tensile steels have been used in the body along with extra bracing. The result, as we found in our four hours at the wheel this week, is a convertible with no signs of the dreaded scuttle shake and a suspension that has the chassis it deserves as a BMW sports-oriented machine. BMW launched three 2 Series models, the 220i and 228i, using variants of the four-cylinder 2.0-litre twin-turbo engine and the 325i six-cylinder. Even over rough and uneven bitumen roads at speed between Adelaide and Victor Harbor the
Model range BMW 220i: from $54,900; BMW 228i: from $68,900; BMW 325i: from $85,800
car remained stable with not a hint of body flex, which is rare for any soft top. This stability transfers to the 2 Series handling with the suspension able to do its work. The car’s road holding is simply superb. It points beautifully into corners at speed and the car remains flat and balanced no matter what the road surface throws at it. Driving with the roof closed you really cannot tell this is a convertible from the decibels that infiltrate the cabin. You can lift or drop the roof in 20 seconds at speeds up to 50km/h at the press of one switch. Even with the extra wheelbase the 2 Series is still a squeeze for rear seat passengers. Think of it as an emergency pew for two over short distances. It is not too bad for entry and exit thanks to the wide door and front seats that slide forward.
The back seats are firm and fairly upright. Leather seats fitted to the 2 Series have also been treated with sun reflective upholstery to stop discolouration. BMW 2 Series comes in three line options: Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport Line. All have luxury standard equipment that varies between specification options. These 2 Series convertibles have styling that’s unmistakably BMW. We like the way the roof folds into the body with what BMW call a boat-deck look. It is neat and tidy and adds to the car’s ambience with the roof down. Our initial driving impressions are that the 220i will attract a lot of buyers to BMW. The entry-level price is seductive for a car of this quality and the pricing at $14,000 difference between 220i and 228i is a lot further apart than the performance of the two models.
