■ Service to close after slashing youth crime...
Cuts take a grip By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
1170560-ACM06-15
A DIVERSION program that has stopped nearly 90 per cent of its young male clients from violently re-offending is set to close after losing its $308,000 state funding. The Gain Respect and Increase Personal Power (GRIPP) program, which is run by City of Greater Dandenong Youth Services, has reformed hundreds of teenage males who commited assaults and other violent and aggressive offences since 2008. The staggeringly low 11-13 per cent recidivist rate among GRIPP clients mainly comprise petty thefts and minor offences. It was half the rate for young males under Department of Justice juvenile supervision orders. Greater Dandenong community wellbeing manager Martin Fidler said GRIPP’s youth workers and counsellors delved into each client’s triggers for violence, such as drug use, mental health, trauma and intergenerational family violence and offending. The program also aimed to reconcile clients with their families. “We believe it’s been a very successful program,” Mr Fidler said. “The majority of young men didn’t reoffend with violent behaviour.” A former client told the Journal last week that GRIPP turned his crime-riddled life around after he faced up to 25 years incarceration for a vicious assault. Now a hard-working full-time apprentice, he still keeps in touch with his GRIPP youth worker. He said he was “shattered” to learn of the closure. A close relative of another reformed client said the move was a “tragedy”, particularly in the face of challenging social ills such as brutal school bullying, high youth unemployment and “the ice crisis”. Springvale-Monash Community Legal Service executive director Kristen Wallwork said there was widespread “surprise”. Continued page 12.

Roof siege concludes By JARROD POTTER A 30-HOUR siege in Noble Park involving a man throwing tiles and flaming objects at police was brought to an end Saturday afternoon through non-lethal means. A 46-year-old man - living in Moodemere St, Noble Park - held police at bay from 10.15am on Friday morning to 4.10pm on Saturday before attempting to flee via neighbouring houses. After the individual tried to access neighbouring rooves by jumping from his house, the response team took action and fired non-lethal shots at the man to subdue and subsequently arrest him. A Victoria Police media spokesperson said the Critical Incident Response Team moved in and arrested the man after he started jumping rooves, which put the neighbourhood at an unacceptable risk. “The man began jumping to rooves of neighbouring houses this afternoon, placing members of public at risk… the police used nonlethal tactics to affect the arrest,” the spokesperson said. The man was taken to Dandenong Hospital with minor injuries and no charges have been laid so far. The siege began Friday morn-

The police arrived at the house Friday night around midnight as the man’s behaviour became more erratic - hurling flaming socks at police officers through his windows.
He spent most of Saturday morning on his roof, throwing tiles at police officers, while brandishing a large knife. At one stage he appeared to wave a ‘white-flag’ made out of a sheet as he returned to the roof, after an extended period inside his house.
The Critical Incident Response Team negotiated with the individual throughout the day before the man tried to flee. Nearby residents were advised to stay in their houses throughout the ordeal.
Hijab day event hits back at online hate By CASEY NEILL WOMEN bravely donned hijabs in Dandenong last week amid an online storm of anger and hatred around a National Youth Week activity. City of Greater Dandenong invited women to wear the Muslim head covering at a free celebration at Pop-Up Park on Friday 10 April, which also included break-dancing, soccer and basketball. But an article published on the Herald Sun’s website ahead of the event stirred up a barrage of antiIslamic commentary criticising the move as promoting oppression and segregation. “We’re not forcing people to try a hijab,” youth and family services coordinator Katharina Verscharen said. “It was all about choice and providing an opportunity for them to experience what they may feel like and understand what it’s like for different cultures.” Through the council’s multimedia program, two students from Minaret Islamic College in Springvale suggested the social experiment for a youth-produced documentary. Ms Verscharen said the council supported the idea, which was aimed at providing awareness, insight and education.
The students manned an information table and participants who wore the hijab returned and reported on their experience. Ms Verscharen said the teens wanted to give people from all backgrounds a chance to freely ask questions about the head covering. “They talked a lot about the importance of being able to raise awareness about the assumptions that are often made about the hijab,” she said. “Everyone that was at the site was saying how fantastic it was and that they wanted to come down and support these young people and that we needed to support all cultures.” But negative comments on news websites, radio and social media marred the event. Many Twitter users asked if the council would make Muslim women venture out without their hijab. “Why don’t City of Greater Dandenong ask men to wear a yarmulke for a day? Or a turban? Perhaps a kimono,” @scottgumbleton said. “How about you stick to collecting rubbish and keeping the streets clean and safe?” Misinformation flooded social media, some people posting that the council was making all women in Dandenong wear headscarves for

POLICE have released an image of a suspicious male who was seen lingering at St Mary’s Catholic Church the day before the church was set ablaze. The FACE identikit picture of the man was based on observations made by one of the church’s priests. Detectives are awaiting an arson chemist’s report for more details on how the fires in the church’s sacristy and altar were started about 2.30am on Wednesday 1 April. The fires closely followed suspicious blazes at two Catholic churches in Brighton and St Kilda East. Detective Senior Constable Nicholas Hayes last week reaffirmed it was too early to substantiate claims of a historic vendetta against the church due to its links with convicted paedophile priest Kevin O’Donnell. “It’s still being treated as a one-off at this stage.“
Guides in training TOUR guide training for refugees and asylum seekers is part of a new $100,000 project for Greater Dandenong. Multicultural Affairs Minister Robin Scott last Friday visited Dandenong Civic Square to announce the State Government cash for “social cohesion initiatives”. City of Greater Dandenong and local organisations will deliver multi-faith and multicultural education programs in schools, a training program for asylum seekers and refugees to volunteer as tour guides, a cooking program and a multicultural business forum. Mr Scott said the funding was part of a $500,000 Victoria-wide social cohesion package.

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG Show turned around its fortunes last year, making a $7000 profit following a $40,000 loss in 2013. But the Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society conceded more work was needed to make the annual event at Greaves Reserve, Dandenong, sustainable into the future. Ricky Ferris was returned as society president at its 144th annual general meeting on 27 March. “Over the past 12 months I have asked a lot of this committee to change the way in which we think about the show to revamp it for future years,” he said. “Although we have made a great start, there is still a long way to go.” Society secretary Lynne Ferris said attendance at the 8 and 9 November event was up on previous years. “The challenge to keep our show relevant to the people within our immediate vicinity is very real,” she said. Ms Ferris said long-time supporters were helping the society to keep costs to a minimum, but it wasn’t the case with utilities and contractors. “Looking forward, there is no doubt we are faced with financial challenges,” she said. George Nicholson spoke for the sponsorship sub-committee and said chasing dollars would remain a tough assignment. “I tried to get manufacturing firms like Amcor and Bombardier - as major employers in the

The same applies to Jayco Caravans.” Despite this struggle, treasurer Kim Bilton said finances had improved over the past year. Gate takings topped $76,000. “The good weather paid a huge part in the success of our show,” she said. “Therefore we need to be mindful that if we have bad weather at future shows we would be in trouble. “In the forthcoming years we will still have to reduce our costs and raise our revenue, as at the moment it would not be sustainable to continue the way we are going.” Ringmaster James Connard
said the show needed more attractions involving the public, especially on the Sunday. “There is no reason why we cannot run the gumboot throwing and similar events on both days,” he said. “These are the types of attractions that require little money but actually provide a source of value to the paying public.” Melissa Ferris spoke for the cattle sub-committee and said numbers were up on previous years. “We trialled a new idea on the Sunday, having a display of cattle to help draw the public to the cattle lawns which are normally very empty,” she said. “This quickly turned into a very popular display once people realised they could come and pat the animals and ask us questions.”

Car park gate BOB JANE T-MARTS vandal probe DANDENONG By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
GREATER Dandenong Council is investigating possible vandalism that has forced the removal of a boom gate at its troubleplagued number eight Balmoral car park. In the meantime, the multistorey car park has been effectively free - an outcome that cheered Springvale Asian Business Association spokesman Stan Chang. “That’s exactly what we’ve been asking for,” he said. Greater Dandenong city planning, design and amenity director Jody Bosman said people had been attempting to manually operate the gates causing damage to the mechanism over recent months. Two cases of boom gate
vandalism were under investigation. “Council will seek prosecution of offenders, if identified,” Mr Bosman said. He said the council recently installed CCTV to “improve public safety and enable monitoring and investigation of acts of vandalism”. “Council is also looking at options to make these gates less susceptible to damage in the future.” He said any difficulties could be reported to an operator via a “live contact system” at the car park. Meanwhile, the damaged boom gate would be replaced “as soon as repaired”, a council spokeswoman said. In its short life, the car park
has been blighted by malfunctioning lifts and lukewarm patronage levels. The council is set to unveil plans to increase the car park’s popularity especially in attracting cars into its regularly empty top-tiers. Mr Chang suggested a lowpriced long-term parking rate for traders parking on the upper decks. Mayor Sean O’Reilly mused that the car park seemed to have become more popular since the boom gate was removed. “It’s become an ongoing thing. “People don’t seem to realise they’re breaking the gates by lifting them up to get through - it’s happened so many times.”

Police said one woman and two men forced their way into the Serpentine Road address about 6am on 3 April. They woke the three men asleep inside and demanded cash and keys to a white 1992 Toyota Camry. The victims complied and the thieves fled in the car. Police said it appeared the parties knew each other.
A MAN wielding a spray bottle filled with detergent hijacked a bus in central Dandenong. The 24-year-old boarded the vehicle in Clow Street about 6am on Saturday 4 April and threatened to spray the 31-year-old driver unless he let him drive the bus. The driver pulled over
and left the bus and the hijacker got behind the wheel. He was unable to disable the brake so he fled and was arrested a short distance away. Sen Const Lavars said he received hospital treatment for mental health issues before being remanded in custody.

Sweet and spicy tastes are huge success By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CHEF Megsingh Yadav is like a veritable ‘kid in a candy shop’ as he surveys his 30-plus array of authentic Indian sweets on display. “I like to eat the food,” he said with a ready laugh. “I can’t try one, otherwise I can’t stop.” For the past nine years, he’s been tantalising customers at Bikaner Sweet and Curry Cafe with curries, tandoori and sweets all prepared on the premises. Their recipes hail from several regions of India. Before that, he’d plied his trade in India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia and at Punjab Sweets, which trades just around the corner from his store. Ahead of the lunchtime rush, his
EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL kitchen is alive with candy syrups being stirred in cavernous pans and chicken kebabs plunged into a clay tandoori oven. Many of the sweets are milk-based such as the ras malai - a cool soft sweet served in a milk bath with flakes of cardamom, almond and pistachio. Other popular varieties are the laddu - chickpea flour balls coated in syrup - and the galub jamun - sweet, spicy milk-based balls. Youngsters go mainly for the iridescent saffron and yellow jalebi - a deepfried flour pretzel.
The sweets become popular gifts, handed out by hosts at weddings, births, festivals and birthdays. Bikaner’s trade peaks during the Diwali annual festival, when sweets are readily exchanged between friends and relatives. Customers have ordered up to 200 of the bright pink and orange one-kilogram gift packs of sweets at a time. As the weather chills, the warm lunch and dinner offerings such as butter chicken, goat masala and lamb curry grow in popularity. Not to mention the soothing masala chai - a tea of cloves, cardamom and dried ginger. Bikaner Sweet and Curry Cafe is open seven days from 10am to 10pm at 52b Foster Street, Dandenong. Take away and lunch specials available. Phone 9792 9246.

Gates open to Asia By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS SPRINGVALE’S newest towering landmark is set to be officially unveiled after years of delays and wrangling over cost and design brawls. The 12-metre tall $750,000-plus Asian Gateway at Buckingham Avenue will be opened on Saturday, standing as a victory for compromise as much as persistence. A proud SABA president Daniel Cheng said the landmark would be a beacon for tourism. “It will be a gathering and photo shooting point for families and friends and visitors from interstate and overseas,“ he said. “It would also be admired by many visitors and shoppers when they see such a magnificent gateway - so well designed - that stands out in a hustling and bustling shopping environment.
“It will be a cultural landmark for the entire community to be proud of and talk about for a long time to come.” Mayor Sean O’Reilly said the prominent archway would add “vibrancy” to the business activity centre and reinforce Springvale’s status as an Asian hub. “(The archway) is twice as big as the one in (Melbourne’s) Chinatown. “The traders are just so good at working hard and getting customers. “The main thing we can help with now is with the traffic and parking.” The opening comes five years after Springvale Asian Business Association’s protracted project won state funding. An early design was derided by South East Melbourne Vietnamese Association for being “too Chinese.
A final compromise version featuring four panels with calligraphy representing the Chinese, Cambodian, Vietnamese and English communities was not couched until late 2013. Last year, Greater Dandenong Council - one of the co-funding partners - took over project management after fears the $600,000 project could balloon to cost more than $1 million. Part of the expense was the need for overseas components. A council report last year stated that the final cost would be reined in to $780,000 - with the council to fork out the extra funds in its mid-year budget. SABA contributed $200,000 to the project and the State Government $175,000. The archway will be launched on Saturday at 11am.

ture and food for four households. Chief executive Sri Samy said its 25-year-old delivery van was showing signs of its “extraordinary workload”. “Still we’re seeing families with absolutely nothing. They’re staying in motels which is completely out of their budget - until they find a rental house.” In his online endorsement, Cr O’Reilly stated: “I thoroughly endorse and express gratitude to the Friends of Refugees. “The Friends of Refugees not only advocate on behalf of asylum seekers and refugees in the community, they take action on their beliefs by providing much-needed support to asylum seekers and refugees in des-
perate need.” As of last Thursday, the campaign had raised more than $3500 of which Cr O’Reilly contributed $50. Some of the donor perks include cooking classes by an asylum seeker chef for $1000, a cultural culinary tour of Greater Dandenong for $500 or earning corporate signage rights on the truck for $10,000. Friends of Refugees also requires volunteer child-care workers to help isolated parents attend language and arts classes at its Leslie Street base. A legal professional with an interest in human rights law or experience with asylum seekers and refugees is also required. For details email contactus@friendsofrefugees.org.au.

MAYOR Sean O’Reilly has endorsed a fund-sourcing campaign for a much-needed second-hand truck for the Dandenong-based Friends of Refugees group. The group requires $30,000 for a three-tonne truck to continue its delivery of donated furniture, food and other basic goods to about 850 asylumseeker households in Melbourne in the past two years. Volunteers are still helping families just released from detention centres sleeping on bare floors and going without food. Many of the households are in Dandenong, Doveton and Springvale. Last Wednesday, the group provided beds, fridges, furni-

THREE groups have officially joined forces to preserve Greater Dandenong’s history. City of Greater Dandenong, Springvale and District Historical Society and Dandenong and District Historical Society signed a memorandum of understanding at Heritage Hill on 1 April. They will now all store documents, artefacts and other significant items at a refurbished and temperature-controlled hall in Hammond Road, Dandenong South. There’ll be space for about 200,000 items. Signing the memorandum of understanding were Springvale and District Historical Society's Colin Robertson, Greater Dandenong mayor Sean O'Reilly and Dandenong and District Historical Society's Chris Keys. A DRUNK Dandenong man found a place to sleep if off - in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. He smashed a window and entered the court about 3am on 2 April, setting off a security alarm. Police arrived shortly after to find him asleep in a room. They arrested the 43-year-old and interviewed him in relation to the damage. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Tony Lavars said the man was heavily alcohol-affected and possibly seeking shelter, and that it didn’t appear he had any intention to burgle the court.
DANDENONG MP Gabrielle Williams wants to tap into the ideas, concerns and insights of youth. She wrote to five secondary schools to seek biannual visits to empower young people and learn from them. Schools interested in participating should call Ms Williams’s office on 9793 2000. What do you think? Visit www.facebook. com/DandenongJournal, tweet @DandyJournal or email journal@starnewsgroup.com.au. SPRINGVALE IKEA will pick up old mattresses for recycling from customers who buy new ones. Through the TIC Group partnership, springs will be baled and sold as scrap metal, foam will be used for carpet underlay, timber will be broken down into kindling and mulch, and textiles will be reclaimed and up-cycled. More than 1.25 million mattresses end up in landfill across Australia each year. IT SEEMS someone has had a few too many volts at the co-generation plant at Settlers Square in Dandenong. Look at the plant’s red scrolling text display and you’ll read about a “wombat on a surfboard” and “a carrot dancing with a beetroot” in some kind of tale of random associations that would make late novelist James Joyce proud. HANDING out kids’ showbags was a nice touch from Beyondblue’s travelling roadshow. Inside the bags were a cardboard, fold-up replica of the foundation’s touring ‘big, blue bus’ - a great way to spread the message about depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, news came to our ears of a youngster so exasperated by the activity that he tore up his cardboard bus and threw it in the bin.

Cuts take a grip
Life is back on track By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS SPEAKING to ‘David’ today it’s hard to imagine this bubbly, hopeful young man was involved with a bad crowd and did a lot of “stupid things” only 12 months ago. More than stupid, they were serious things such as car thefts, ram raids and vicious assaults and muggings. The Doveton teenager used to smoke ‘weed’ and drink two bottles of ‘Jack’ and ‘Jimmy’ each day with his associates. He had no desire for work nor study. No plans. He said he turned bad after being hit at high school. The blow from behind fractured his skull and he lost his way for two years. Last year, he faced his judgement day in Dandenong Children’s Court - up to 25 years’ incarceration for drunkenly punching a young victim in the face and holding a knife to their throat - all for a bottle of milk. David counts himself lucky that by the time he fronted court, a GRIPP worker had already got him down the right track. The worker got to know him, and wrote him a reference that convinced the magistrate that David deserved a second chance. At their first meeting, the youth worker and David bonded over a kick of footy. For the first time David could open up about his problems in a safe, positive fashion. They talked about why David got angry and frustrated. “The way they talk to you is different. He did some plans with me and set a few goals. “We’d draw a circle and try to work out what’s the best option around it, and how to resolve it without resorting to violence.” He was set up with a counsellor, he could call in anytime and talk about his serious and bottledup victimhood from child abuse, he said. It changed him. He’s “shattered” that the GRIPP program is winding up. David continues working “as hard as I can” as an apprentice. He wants to build a career. He knows a few mates who are locked up; these are people he no longer associates with. “You’ve got to keep it positive and think for the future.”

Turned around by straight talking lors and psychiatrists, but he didn’t connect with any of them before he got to GRIPP. Carol said there was an instant rapport between Jack and his youth worker who helped him uncover his hidden issues. “They didn’t patronise him by speaking like young people speak. They don’t put up with their rubbish and tell it to them straight. “They need to speak to someone who’s not too close. If the connection isn’t made, the young people won’t talk to you.” Jack was off his anti-depressants, got back into studies and focused on his future. Without GRIPP, he would
‘CAROL’ reckons GRIPP saved her close younger relative from a life of crime. Her relative ‘Jack’ avoided school after being the victim of violent, incessant bullying. There seemed no escape - wherever Jack went, the group seemed to linger at school and all over Dandenong’s public places and railway station. Instead of school, he hung in a gang in parks and empty houses, started on marijuana and then fronted the courts over “unpleasant” violent assaults. The bullied became the bullies. Jack’s family hunted for counsel-

have been headed for jail - a point of no return, Carol said. “I found it a life saver. It would have gone from bad to worse without that assistance. “There’s been a huge change in the way he can work through things himself and come up with the right decision.” She said school-absconders should be the first target for help. “For that funding to be pulled altogether that is a tragedy. “When you look at the high rates of unemployment and the ice crisis, surely you’d expect more money put in to this type of program, not less.” - CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
Continued from page 1. “Our duty lawyer said it was a fantastic alternative for juvenile justice, a great place to resolve a number of issues. “It’s going to leave a huge gap.” Last year the Napthine government withdrew GRIPP’s funding in favour of a service agreement with a consortium-run Youth Health and Rehabilitation Service. Greater Dandenong Council has since been winding down GRIPP for closure at the end of June. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said the program was “another victim of vicious Liberal cuts”, but the new ALP government is yet to commit to reviving GRIPP. “I will be discussing the needs of our community with the minister in the time ahead, and will emphasise the importance of doing all we can to eradicate violent crime and create meaningful pathways for our youth,“ she said. Families and Children Minister Jenny Mikakos said the government was “supporting young people to address their violent behaviour and reduce the risk of future offending” and would monitor demand for those services. She backed the Youth Health and Rehabilitation Service, which runs individual counselling and the group-based Adolescent Violence Intervention Program (AVIP). AVIP, however, is restricted to inmates at Parkville’s juvenile detention centre. A Department of Health and Human Services spokesman said an early intervention service and a Keeping Families Safe program were also run in Melbourne’s south-east.

Vintage veterans By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IT’S not hard to imagine this amiable pair of veterans filling the cabin of their 1959 FC Holden with a string of good-humoured yarns as they cruise to this month’s Anzac Day march in Melbourne. For the past 10 years, Noble Park World War II veteran Kevin Nichols has been voluntarily driven to the march by Navy ex-serviceman Derrick Roberts. The pair will travel through Melbourne’s streets in resplendent style in Mr Roberts’ meticulously restored vintage car right at the head of the march. Mr Nichols is keen to talk football - especially about winning big when backing his beloved Bulldogs to win the 1954 VFL flag. The way he tells it he asked a Mordialloc bookmaker before the grand final what his price was for the Bulldogs. The bookmaker replied: “The bloody Bulldogs? I’ll give you 12 to 1.” Mr Nichols jumped on the offer with “10 quid”. His winnings were the equivalent of the sum for a “decent car” though he has no idea what he might have spent them on. Mr Nichols was a freshly-

Anzac events DANDENONG Saturday 18 April, 9.30am to 11am Dandenong Primary School will hold a ceremony to plant a Gallipoli Oak and rededicate an honour board with names of students who served in WWI. Tuesday 21 April, 10am A planting ceremony for giant red poppies the community has created will take place on the Dandenong Civic Square grassed area. The Poppies for Peace will travel across Greater Dandenong throughout the year, with a final display coinciding with Remembrance Day on 11 November. Friday 24 April, 9am
Navy veteran Derrick Roberts has escorted WWII veteran Kevin Nichols to the Anzac Day March in Melbourne’s CBD for the past 10 years. 137351 enlisted 18-year-old serving in the Solomon Islands and Bougainville during World War II. His role was as a forward scout - which is not a football term, but rather “the idiot who goes first”. He said fighting was just about to erupt with a “whole lot of Japs” in front of his battalion in New Guinea when the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atom-bombs closed the war. Mr Roberts helped enforce UN sanctions by inspecting merchant ships in the Persian Gulf at the end of the First Gulf War. The pair hooked up
through an RACV program matching volunteer drivers with veterans needing a lift to the march. Until Mr Roberts came on the scene, Mr Nicholls had never been to the march. It’s now something he looks forward to. “He treats me like I’m the last bloke on Earth,” he describes his travelling companion. After the parade, the pair expect to share a couple of rounds at Noble Park RSL. Mr Nichols, now 90, has a few less beers than when Mr Roberts first shared the day with him. Mr Roberts, a Bombers
supporter, said he had no qualms about giving up seats at the MCG to spend time with his mate on Anzac Day. “Kevin and I got on famously since the start. He really appreciates it - he is at the head of the march. “By the time he sits down at the cenotaph, he gets to see the rest of the marchers and has front seats at the service. “We keep in touch with a couple of calls during the year.” If you know a veteran who needs transport on Anzac Day, contact Lisa Hogan at RACV on 9790 2975 or lisa_ hogan@racv.com.au.

LIFETIME OF ANTIQUE PASSION In the mid 1960s, Andrew Pinxt arrived in Australia by ship as a 20-year-old migrant from the Netherlands seeking to make a new life for himself. When he first arrived in Australia, Andrew boarded for a time in Dandenong. Before leaving Europe, he was educated as a boilermaker/ welder and structural engineer but as a hobby in his spare time Andrew began to collect antiques. However, because it was not possible for him to bring his fledgling collection with him he had no choice but to reluctantly leave it behind with his family on his departure. In 1970 Andrew married his beloved wife Patsy and they moved to Cranbourne to establish his business and start their family. Their first home was in Narre Warren Road (Cameron Street) opposite the Melbourne Hunt Club. In those days, when Cranbourne was still a small country town with minimal services, there was no regular rubbish collection and the toilet was in the back yard. So, a part of Andrew’s regular weekly chores was to take their domestic rubbish to the local tip. The only problem was that in the early seventies old items and unwanted goods were usually disposed of at the rubbish tip. So Andrew would visit the tip with a fully laden rubbish bin, only to return with his car full of antiques and other collectibles which had been deposited there by other residents. DJ
Connecting people and communities
Andrew boasts with a smirk, that even his matrimonial bed was sourced from the local rubbish tip. In the early eighties, when Andrew and Patsy shifted their family from Cranbourne to their present property in the beautiful coastal village of Cannons Creek, they had a lot more room and Andrew’s passion for collecting grew by the day to become a very sizable and varied collection. Andrew has been a member and past president of the Rotary Club of Cranbourne over almost four decades and in recent years he
has become actively involved in voluntary projects in the tiny Pacific nation of Tonga. In 2014, Andrew’s most recent project, along with 25 other volunteers from Rotary, his family and the wider community, was to bring a much needed fresh water supply to the island of Eua in Tonga. With a desire to complete this project, Andrew has reluctantly decided to part with his muchloved lifetime collection in order to help finance some of the remaining work needed in the Pacific nation.
The added fact that he and his wife Patsy have retired and would like to down-size from their present three-acre property and spend some more time travelling in their caravan and exploring Australia has resulted in the opportunity for avid collectors to acquire items which it has taken Andrew a lifetime to put together. Cranbourne's Finning First National Real Estate, in conjunction with Garry Nash First National Real Estate in Wangaratta, will be offering Andrew’s beloved collection over three massive clearing sales
commencing at 9am on Friday and Saturday, 17 and 18 April and Saturday 9 May. Previewing of items will be available on Thursday 16 April and Friday 8 May between 1.30pm and 4pm at the property at 39b Cannons Creek Road, Cannons Creek. Comprehensive catalogues plus terms and conditions of the sale are available to download from www.finning.com.au or www. garrynash.com.au or email sales@finning.com.au or mail@ garrynash.com.au for more information.

NEW HOMES & LAND
LIVE LIKE ROYALTY A lifestyle to set the new owners apart is what’s on offer for those who buy into Villawood Properties’ Delaray community in Clyde North which is being officially launched on 18 April. The name Delaray, with its royal references through its Spanish origins, gives an indication of what to expect from this community which, upon completion, will feature more than 1000 new homes. This is Villawood Properties’ third project
in the Casey growth corridor and, as with its previous projects, buyers can expect some features that will distinguish Delaray from its surrounds. At the heart of the unique lifestyle on offer at Delaray is its residents’ club, a leading edge facility and activity hub that will include a gymnasium, café swimming pools and flexible indoor/outdoor activity space. It encapsulates the upscale attraction of
living in this community and is the only one of its kind among residential communities in the region. With 10 hectares of picturesque public open space, incorporating a network of walking and running tracks, parks and wetlands, a healthy outdoor lifestyle is literally on the doorstep. “The combination of lifestyle on offer through the residents' club, outdoor recreational spaces and proximity to
shops, schools, transport and other local activities, makes Delaray a highly desirable place to call home,” said Villawood Properties executive director Tony Johnson. “The project offers a great lot mix, a host of quality housing choices from some of the nation’s leading builders and will come with optic fibre to all homes.” For inquiries contact Nabil Harb at the Delaray Sales office on 9684 8128.

CITIES AND TOWNS OFFER A RANGE OF OPTIONS While attention has focused on the affordable attractions of regional Victoria for families on a budget and first home buyers, cities and towns across the state offer an enormous variety of homes. From weatherboard cottages to two and three-level bluestone buildings crafted more than a century ago, new housing estates to elegant heritageprotected mansions, the breadth of choice is reflected in the range of selling prices. And while private sale is by far the most common means of selling a home in regional Victoria, auction is becoming
more popular and a substantial proportion of homes in the top price bracket are selling at auction. Many of these higher-priced sales were recorded in late 2014. In the December quarter of last year 29 of the 1439 house sales across regional Victoria sold for more than $1 million. It’s not surprising that most of those properties were in some of regional Victoria’s most sought-after locations. For example, in the final three months of last year a Spring Hill home sold for $1,850,000, a Cherokee home in the Macedon

PLAY OR PONDER THROUGH MAGIC GARDENS...
Ranges municipality sold for $1,300,000, a home in Bellarine sold for $3.5 million and one in Ballarat central for $3 million. At the other end of the scale, a home sold for $56,000 in Tatura, one for $60,000 in Walwa and another for $70,000 in Piangil. This year too, the price range is wide – from just over $50,000 in the state’s outer west and north, to more than $2 million closer to Melbourne’s CBD – illustrating that, as in Melbourne, the regional Victorian housing market offers choices for buyers at all levels.

Celebrating the Anzac Centenary locally…
LEARNING how to recycle, compost and plant kept kids on school holidays busy in Dandenong last week. They turned egg cartons into a hungry caterpillar plant project at Heritage Hill on 7 April with help from City of Greater Dandenong waste education officer Samantha Ondrus. The children, aged five to 12 years, learnt how to re-use and recycle items into eco-friendly objects. Heritage Hill on 2 April allowed kids to create artistic felted renditions of their fine-feathered Aussie friends. Council waste education officer Kirstine Oh taught children aged five to 12 years that galahs mate for life, cockatoos can live for up to 70 years and much more. They learnt about the biology of Victorian birds while making felted badges and broches of their favourite species.
Star News Group will be devoting their pre-Anzac day editions to tell these amazing local stories, sharing the memories that are a celebration of the Australian spirit. These special souvenir newspaper editions will generate enormous local interest, will be read across generations and the epaper versions downloadable on our starcommunity website will be shared widely. Our reporters have been working for months to compile stories specifically for these collectors’ editions. We have letters written by soldiers from the Front, tales of their brave exploits and have discovered the men and women behind the names inscribed on war memorials across the district. Their stories will rise from the stone in these memorable editions.

Between 2014 and 2018 Australia will commemorate the Anzac Centenary, marking 100 years since our nation’s involvement in the First World War. The Anzac Centenary is a milestone of special significance to all Australians. The First World War helped define us as people and as a nation. During the Anzac Centenary we will remember not only the original Anzacs who served at Gallipoli and the Western Front, but commemorate more than a century of service by Australian servicemen and women. For generations, local families have been touched by war and stories of courage, suffering and service have been told through these local communities. To celebrate the Anzac Centenary

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST School has room for improvement FOUR teams of volunteers passed a two-day The Block-style challenge to each re-design and renovate a room at Berry Street School’s Noble Park campus last month. The specialist independent school, which supports vulnerable children, issued the challenge to create a “re-energised” learning space. The teams of up to 20 volunteers from Canon, The Hyatt Group, E&Y and GE armed themselves with architectural plans, colour schemes, tools and furniture to deliver their designated room. Principal Robert Miller said his students deserved an environment that reflected the school’s “highquality” curriculum. “The young people enrolled at our schools are aged 12-18 and many have experienced trauma in the lives as a result of abuse, neglect and violence. “Berry Street offers these students, who all have struggled in the mainstream school system, a chance at reconnecting to their education and teaching them strategies to become independent and autonomous learners in their pathway choices and adulthood.” The school uses Berry Street’s model of ‘trauma-informed positive education’ to promote each students’ strengths and to build their capacity to recover from past trauma.
Advice on board ADVICE for small business operators will roll into Dandenong this week. The Small Business Bus will provide free mentoring, support and information about State Government services from 10am to 4pm on Thursday 16 April. The Small Business Bus will be at Palm Plaza, near the corner of Walker and McCrae streets. Visit business.vic.gov.au/sbb or call Small Business Victoria on 13 22 15 for more information or to book a free on-board mentoring session.

New division set to pump up firepower By CASEY NEILL A DANDENONG South manufacturer is branching out to stay in the game. The Ruson Fire Division of Power Industries Australia is adding a service division and has received support from City of Greater Dandenong to make it happen. Ruson, located in Mark Anthony Drive, was among five businesses successful in this year’s instalment of the council’s Business Grants Program that was announced on 25 March. Each was reimbursed with up to $8000 and received about $2000 in advice from the Small Business Mentoring Service. Ruson managing director Scott Lacey said the cash helped to fit out office space in a warehouse in Swift Way, Dandenong South. “We’re an importer slash manufacturer,” he said. “We import a range of products that go into the fire pump industry and that’s what we’ve done for some time. “We made the decision last year to look at getting into the service side of the industry, just to grow, evolve. “So that’s what we’re setting up the other factory down there for.” Mr Lacey has started the ball rolling on an alliance with Ruson’s biggest customer, which is located in New South Wales. “They’ve got a presence in Melbourne. They’ve got a lot of knowledge in the industry that I’d like to try and leverage off,” he said. “We’ve got a small customer base but they’re regular. It’s a bit of a niche industry.”
Managing director Scott Lacey. 136921 Ruson imports the diesel engines it uses. “They’re about 70 per cent complete. We add the other 30 per cent,” he said. Mr Lacey said it would cost $260 to produce an entire product locally, compared to $90 to partially import. “It’s just a no-brainer. And the quality of finish that we get is ex-

actly what we do locally,” he said. “I’d love to go and build it locally because there’s advantages with that - just-in-time delivery and things like that. “But when you’re talking 30 per cent off the end price, it’s massive.” He said it wasn’t just Australia’s labour costs sending businesses searching overseas, and gave im-
porting a container as an example. “I could have it at the wharf from the depot in China cheaper than what it is for me to send some stuff up to Queensland,” he said. “I can get a sticker overseas for just cents, and over here I’m paying $1-plus. “They’re the things I think that fail to be potentially acknowledged. It’s all the little things that add to it. You deal with it. “The service side, for us, is a good fit because you can’t import that.” Ruson started about five years ago. “We started doing water pumps, industrial equipment,” Mr Lacey said. “We had a customer speak to us one day and say ‘can you build me a motor to this standard?’ “We said ‘we’ll give it a shot’. “Through a whole lot of trial and error we finally got there and now 90 per cent of our work would be fire pump related.” Mr Lacey said the company did “a fair bit with the mines” but reached a fork in the road and had to choose between the mining or fire pump tracks. He’s thankful they chose pumps. “It’s been very dry up north,” he said. “When the rain stopped no-one needed pumps. And if it did rain a little bit there was plenty of product floating around that they could hire or buy.” Fire pumps provide month-bymonth business. Ruson employs seven people and is about to add an eighth. “We’ve grown again this year,” Mr Lacey said.

A LITTLE Dandenong bakery is bringing people to tears with its bread. Dandy Naan and Kebab in Stud Road opened its doors on 1 August last year and has since built a loyal following of sangak fans. The demand is so great that its owners have their sights on a factory to massproduce the Persian flat bread. Co-owner Mohammad Musawi said theirs was the only shop in Australia producing the naan-like bread. “In Iran they make it in a clay oven and they use little river stones,” he said. “Here we are not allowed to use those ovens because they’re not safe. “We looked on the internet and we found a company that makes the oven without using any stones. “We imported it from Iran." Mr Musawi’s next challenge was tracking down the right flour. “We tried at least 50 different kinds of flour and came up with this one we’re using now,” he said.
“We had friends to come in and taste it. “The dough is very wet and if it’s not wholemeal the baker can’t shape it. “Because we use wholemeal flour it’s a very healthy bread. We don’t use any oil. No sugar, no oil, no milk and no white flour. We use a very little bit of salt.” Mr Musawi said Iranians used bread at every meal. “Some people, they eat bread with bread! “They put the bread inside this bread and eat it,” he said. “In Iran, this is the best bread. “Most Iranian families use this bread for breakfast. It tastes good with all meals, especially with kebabs.” “We chose Dandenong because the Afghan people here know the bread as well,” he said. Customers travel from the eastern suburbs - and from as far away as South Australia and Queensland. Some hadn’t tasted the bread in almost 10 years. “They’re all crying to see this bread,” he said. The

Mr Musawi said it was the only place in Dandenong selling Persian kebabs. Dandy Naan was among five businesses that were successful in this year’s City of Greater Dandenong
Business Grants Program which was announced on 25 March. Each business was reimbursed for up to $8000 spent on applicable goods and received about $2000 in advice from the Small Business Mentoring Service. Mr Musawi said the mentoring sessions had helped him learn new busi-
ness skills and find direction. “My plan is to extend this business to a factory,” he said. “We want to mass-produce the bread and send it all over Victoria.” His plan would involve importing another oven that makes 3000 breads a day.

Back... and in top form By JARROD POTTER RISING star Maddy Kowalski was almost lost forever to tennis. Kowalski, 17, from Doveton, almost turned her back for good on tennis after finishing her Bruce Cup commitments as a 12-year-old, but she decided to give it another crack. After spending three years out of the game, the lingering thought of what she could have achieved spurred her to get back into the swing of the sport she once loved. She has relished her time on court ever since and advanced into state consideration again as she gained selection for the School Sport Victoria Pizzey Cup team. “I just felt a lot of regret as I knew I could have been pretty good and I didn’t want to feel that anymore,” Kowalski said.
“It was hard to tell mum and dad, but then I came back when I was 15 and I think it’s better now. “I’m more hungry than I was before, as I was pretty sick of it then, and now I feel a lot stronger after the break.” With a power-packed baseline game defining Kowalski’s attacking style it was little surprise that the Doveton Tennis Club star was picked to represent Victoria again. She’s thrilled to return to the court for her state and hopes to excel in the national school sports under-18 tennis championships the same way she smashed past her Bruce Cup competition. “I represented Victoria in grade six for Bruce Cup,” Kowalski said. “It’s long - it goes for the whole week and you play a lot of matches against a lot of different
Maddy Kowalski is ready to represent Victoria again as she was picked for the Pizzey Cup Picture: JARROD POTTER tennis team. 137495 people. “I’m pretty sure I won all of my singles matches, lost a couple of my doubles matches and we came second to Queensland and that whole experience will help me a lot this time. “It’s pretty good to be part of the team again.” Year 12 is also on her plate at Lyndale Second-
ary College to make for a hectic 2015 and after completing her studies Kowalski hopes to pursue her tennis fervently before starting university. She wanted to thank her parents, family and Lyndale Secondary College for their support. The Pizzey Cup tournament will be held in Hobart, Tasmania from 2-10 May.
Bogut bigger than Longley By RUSSELL BENNETT
Dandenong Little Athletic Centre trio Daniela Sprague (left), Lochlan Taylor (centre) and Krish Rajavel (right) all brought medals back from the Little Athletics State Track Picture: JARROD POTTER and Field Championships. 137229
Season finish on a high By JARROD POTTER SEASON’S end came for three Dandenong Little Athletics Centre runners, but not without the trio earning state championships medals. Lochlan Taylor, 14, from Berwick, Daniela Sprague, 14, from Hallam, and Krish Rajavel, 11, from Endeavour Hills, excelled at the recently held Little Athletics State Track and Field Championships, held at the famous bluetrack at Albert Park’s Lakeside Stadium on 28-29 March. Rajavel went a little better in her second time at the state championships - blitzing her way to second in the 400 metres with an electric 1.06.54 time, finishing only four-tenths of a second off first place Maddie Hume.
The fleet-footed dynamo enjoys running at Dandenong Little Athletics Centre for its wonderful and respectful community. “It was my second time at states and I was really excited that I won a medal this year - I got my personal best as well in the 400 metres,” Rajavel said. “I like coming here (Dandenong LAC) as it’s really nice here and everyone is really nice to each other and good sports.” Sprague fought her way onto the podium with a 2.21.41 minutes superstar performance in the girls’ under-15 800 metres. “I was pretty excited as I’ve never won a medal before,” Sprague said. “It’s my best result so far.”
Taylor earned his first medal at the state level, winning bronze in the boys’ under-15 1500 metre run, finishing in 4.27.36 minutes. “Never won a state medal before this year - last year I did alright, finished fourth in the 1500 metres - but this year I got the medal in it,” Taylor said. “Two years ago I was no good so this is a little bit exciting.” The Dandenong Little Athletic Centre starts its crosscountry season, at Robert Booth Reserve, Dandenong, on Saturday 2 May, with a track walk at 8.30am before the race start at 9am. More information on the club is available at www.dandenonglac.com.au.
TO SAY Andrew Bogut has come a long way since practising his ball skills as a youngster at his family’s Endeavour Hills home is arguably the biggest understatement in world sport at the moment. The milestones and records just continue to tumble for the Golden State Warriors’ defensive anchor, who passed Luc Longley’s record during the week for the most NBA games played by an Australian. Following the Warriors’ 10792 loss on Sunday at the hands of Western Conference rivals and reigning NBA champs, the San Antonio Spurs, Bogut’s games tally now sits at 569 two clear of Luc Longley, who won three consecutive championships from 1996 to 1998 as a pivotal member of Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls. And Bogut, who was the first overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2005 draft, is still only 30-years-old. He has battled through a series of freakish injuries over his career to date but he has still played at least 65 games (of a possible 82 regular season games) in six seasons so far. This season is set to become the seventh. Bogut, who measures in at 213 centimetres and 118 kilograms, or 7’0” and 260lbs in the old scale, is regarded by many as one of the best passing big men of his generation. He earned high praise earlier in the season from some of the most respected basketball pundits in the United States, who say that his increased role in Golden State, under first-year coach Steve Kerr (a former team-mate of Longley’s) is a key factor behind the team’s success. The Warriors currently sit atop the brutally tough Western Conference with 63 wins and just 14 losses from their 77 games so far this season. Kirk Goldsberry, in an earlyseason article for the acclaimed
Andrew Bogut, pictured here with seven-year-old fan Noah on a visit back to Melbourne, has forged a reputation as one of the NBA’s best all-around big men. 102168 Picture: ALESHA CAPONE ‘Grantland’ website started by ESPN journalist Bill Simmons, described just how enamoured Kerr is with Bogut’s passing game in particular. “In the pre-season, Kerr lauded Andrew Bogut’s abilities as a passer and discussed how Bogut will help the newlook offense,” Goldsberry said, referring to an NBA.com story by Antonio Gonzalez in which Kerr was quoted as saying: “Andrew’s one of the best pass-
ing centres in the league… he’s one of the best I’ve ever seen… so for us to get him the ball on the elbows as a dribble-handoff guy, backdoor-pass guy, that will be emphasised.” Golden State, led by MVP candidate Stephen Curry, will likely face either Russell Westbrook’s Oklahoma City Thunder, or Anthony Davis’ New Orleans Pelicans in the first round of this season’s playoffs.

SPORT SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Round 1
DANDENONG SCOREBOARD
A new winning ways By JARROD POTTER “WORK hard. Work hard. Work hard.” A simple, impassioned plea from Keysborough coach Ryan Goodes delivered to his Burra battlers seemed to pay off as the visitors claimed a 27-point triumph over Doveton Eagles. Their first match in SFL Division 2 was no walk in the park for the Burra, as the Eagles knocked them around throughout a back-and-forth second half. Heading into the final break four-points down, following a threegoal run by Doveton Eagles before the last break, Goodes roared at his charges in the huddle to knuckle down and hit the scoreboard. After a beautiful snap around the body from Geoff Humphreys who starred all afternoon through the midfield - pushed Keysborough back ahead, the Eagles rallied one last time through hard-marking forward Sasha Danilovic (three goals) to regain the lead. Goodes pushed himself down back and played as the third-man up across half-back and found able support streaming the ball out of defence from Matt Burnett and Luke Damato. The Burra seized back the advantage after Humphreys hit up Jake Dunn (three goals) lace out before Tyson King (four goals) lived up to his moniker, making the hard work seem regal in a starring forward performance. Kicking the last four goals, Keysborough emphatically finished off its first SFL match in style to kick away 16.14 (110) to Doveton Eagles’ 13.5 (85). Goodes was pleased to see a plethora of Burra wins on Saturday as the reserves and thirds also notched wins. “I didn’t think we were playing the way we wanted to play - that’s not the sort of coach I am, but sometimes they need to get going and at the end of the day it worked,” Goodes said.
Main pic: Keysborough’s Scott Chamberlain clunks a strong grab under pack pressure. Inset: Keysy coach Ryan Goodes implored his charges to up their work rate for the final term. 137499 Pictures: JARROD POTTER “It’s not only really good for the ones to win, but to have three senior teams (win) - six months ago we couldn’t get anyone down to watch Keysy footy. “But the supporter base here now, with 60 blokes on the track and three teams that came away with a win, that’s an achievement in itself.” The Eagles were well led by Corrie Wilson (four goals), Rob Kreskas and Enayte Samadi. Keysborough has its first home match in the SFL as it takes on Murrumbeena while Doveton Eagles head to Caulfield.
In the other Division-2 result, a new-look Springvale Districts held off a very wayward Highett by eight points. Spraying 19 behinds, the Bulldogs had no one but themselves to blame as the Demons -led by spearhead recruit James Gough (three goals) charged ahead to take the victory. Districts face Oakleigh Districts at home this weekend.
DIVISION 3 STELLAR starts for Lyndale and Endeavour Hills following their cross-town victories over Dandenong and Sandown respectively. The Pumas had all the answers after half-time, keeping the Redlegs to
two-goals-six while thumping home six of their own to take the comfortable 43-point victory. Mohammad Babar (four goals) led the scores while Damien Wilsnach and Veton Rexha were the best Pumas afield. Anthony Salomon and Josh Cole were the Redlegs’ finest in the defeat. Endeavour Hills brushed aside Sandown in a 20-point win at Barry Simon Reserve. Mitch Whatman and Shane Peake (three goals) proved prominent up forward while Alex Carroll and Nathan Strom led all comers. Ciaran O’Shaughnessy (two goals) was also best afield for the Cobras alongside Benjamin Davis.

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE and VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION - Round 1 TAC CUP - Round 4
They’re back By JARROD POTTER WHAT else can you say about Noble Park’s 107-point walloping of South Croydon? It was as definitive and comprehensive as any EFL side has ever mustered in their season opener. 14 goals after half-time was a sign of more pain to come across the EFL as Noble Park flexed its muscles. With 10 individual goal-kickers and a dazzling array of midfield options excelling, Mick Fogarty didn’t just have his side up-and-about, but he had them hungry to wipe away any memory of 2014. The match was well and truly over within minutes as Noble Park’s midfield took complete control. Kyle Martin (two goals) showed that he’s still AFL-calibre as he and Shane Valenti marshalled the troops and set up a countless amount of forward entries. Shayne Allan (six goals) and Ziggy Alwan (five goals) feasted on the midfield’s dominance, with the latter in his return to the Bullring after two years at Frankston. What’s worse for the competi-
A Battle on their hands
tion - there’s more yet to come as forward Brett Dore and midfielder Craig Anderson are still to slot into this power-packed arsenal. The Bulls have taken top of the EFL ladder and will hope to hold onto it this weekend when Noble Park faces Rowville at home.
VAFA - Round 1 DANDENONG’S dual VAFA sides both walked away with satisfying first-up wins on Saturday with St John’s knocking off MHSOB by 45 points in Division-2 Reserve while Masala edged out Chadstone AFC by 26 points in Division 4. Aaron Thornton (six goals) and Tim Edwards (four goals) were unstoppable in the forward arc for the JOCS while ruck/utility Manny Jakwot starred in a roaming role across the expansive Melbourne High School surface. Matt Nicholson and vice-captain Daniel Cattolico also excelled in the emphatic triumph. Masala made its Division-4 debut on its new ground - WJ Turner Reserve at Silverton JFC’s former
Ziggy Alwan had every reason to cheer as the Noble Park forward slotted five goals in a spree against South Croydon. 137498 Picture: JARROD POTTER home - and excelled from the getgo. Sam Freeman and Jordan Toikalkin (three goals each) flourished while Jaryd Coghill was best afield
for the Tigers. St John’s hosts Northern Blues this Saturday while Masala is off to Canterbury.
THE only Battle the Dandenong Stingrays needed to face on Saturday night was star forward Josh Battle, who relished the conditions in a 49-point TAC Cup demolition of Bendigo Pioneers. Battle (five goals) had the ball on a string as he beguiled the Pioneers from the forward end - showing a sign of things to come for the 190cm tall from Doveton. Taking back-to-back wins, Dandenong walked all over Bendigo in the Country Round twilight fixture, as Darcy Warke (four goals) and Liam Myatt (two goals) also got in on the action. A five-goal opening term was the start of things to come for Dandenong as it continued to push away throughout the match. Not content with a mere victory, the Stingrays put on another four goals in the final term to ram home the success and bring it back down the Calder Freeway. Brandon White, Kurt Mutimer and Bailey Rice featured prominent in the best. Shooting up to fifth on the TAC Cup ladder, Dandenong has this weekend off before flying to Queensland to face the northern state on ANZAC Day.

SPORT SEABL - Round 1
Otters relish meet
Double Ranger danger! By JARROD POTTER A DOUBLE deed was issued at Dandenong as the Rangers took a pair of comfortable wins in their SEABL season openers against Kilsyth. The women laid down the gauntlet for their male counterparts later Saturday night, after besting the Cobras 76-62. Not even the might of returning Dandenong WNBL player Steph Cumming (17 points, 6 rebounds) was enough to halt her former SEABL team running riot in the key. Jacinta Kennedy (25 points, 10 rebounds) showed how she’s still an elite threat year-in, year-out while Tenaya Phillips (18 points) had one of her best matches in the SEABL colours - draining three-of-four from the three-point line. The one-two punch of Rangers’ guards Amelia Todhunter (16 points, 6 rebounds) and Aimie Clydesdale (8 points, 7 rebounds) showed why they’ll be hard to stop in this 2015 campaign. Dandenong’s men also stood tall as Daequon Montreal (27 points, 10 rebounds) starred alongside Andrew Harms (24 points) in the Rangers’ 80-72 win over the Cobras. Dandenong heads to Canberra for this week’s Round-2 clash against the Capitals Academy women and Gunners men on Saturday night. In BIG V results, Western Port knocked off Keysborough 70-62. Keysborough’s women took on Casey Cavaliers on

Keysborough hosts Coburg and Craigieburn on Sunday afternoon from 1pm.
FFA CUP
LAPPING up some recent success at the Metro All Junior Meet, five Oasis Otters have charged into the top junior ranks in Victorian swimming. Honing their passion at the Dandenong Oasis, the Oasis Otters Swimming Club had one of their best meet results in recent years with five swimmers - Hamed Afshin Azar, Dheeraj Kulkarni, Nitin Mathur and twins Trung and Nam Le - on the podium. Afshin Azar, 14, won a golden double in the backstroke and breaststroke, also picking up bronze in butterfly. Twelve-yearold Dheeraj Kulkarni finished

third in butterfly, while nineyear-old twins Trung and Nam Le finished second and third respectively in breaststroke. Capping off the centre’s stellar meet 14-year-old Nitin Mathur, excelled in his multi-class freestyle event winning the silver medal. Two of the Otters’ family Hamed and his brother Sam will compete at the National Age Championships, at SOPAC in New South Wales, trying to bring back the gold in the 100/200 metre breaststroke from 13-18 April. More information on the Oasis Otters can be found at www.oasisotters.swimming.org.au.
THE night-time challenges begin for South Springvale in pursuit of returning to the FFA Cup’s Round of 32. After knocking off Western Suburbs SC and Casey Comets in the earlier phase of the Cup’s Victorian qualifiers, the action switches to mid-week night clashes in pursuit of a spot in the national singleelimination tournament’s final round. South Springvale hosts Box Hill United, Victorian Round of 32, at Warner Reserve from 7.30pm on Wednesday for a shot in the quarter finals. “We’re just looking forward to the next round again,” South Springvale coach Bill Lambropoulos said.
“This year we’ve got the pressure and a bit to show that we still deserve to be there. “However far we go into it we’ve had a taste… I said to them you know what it’s all about, the others don’t, so go out and do your best and if we make (Round of) 32 again that would be fantastic.” Aris excelled under bright lights in its 2014 FFA Cup qualifying campaign - knocking off Hume City and St Albans Saints in the Victorian qualifiers - before winning its Round of 32 match against Northern New South Wales side South Cardiff. South Springvale was subsequently eliminated in the FFA Cup Round of 16 by Palm Beach Sharks and finished second in last year’s Dockerty
Cup competition - edged out in the final seconds by Melbourne Knights to end the stellar cup run for the lads from Warner Reserve. In local NPL results, Dandenong Thunder snapped a five-goal losing streak with a 1-0 triumph over Port Melbourne Sharks as Yusuf Ahmed split the sides with a 31st-minute strike. The Thunder now faces Avondale FC on Saturday afternoon. Dandenong City split its NPL1 East clash with Sunshine George Cross 1-1 while Springvale White Eagles lost to Moreland Zebras 0-2 before their own FFA Cup clash against Preston White Lions at home on Wednesday night from 7.30pm.

MOTORING
BMW’s road to the future THE i3 is the start of future motoring according to BMW and the more time we spent at the wheel of the BMW i3 the more we smiled and agreed. BMW i3 is crammed full of technology, all clothed in a spacious body that weighs just 1195 kg. The body is made from a combination of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and aluminium. Strong body colours, with contrasting hues in the smaller details help reduce the visual bulk. Interior styling is equally radical. The dash area has horizontal surfaces, with wood finishes from certified timber suppliers in our test car. Information is based on the use of tablet style screens that can be set up in a variety of ways. The BMW i Remote App allows smartphone owners to remotely display information such as range and current battery charge status as well as adjusting the temperature of the interior before entering the car. There are two monitors
Styling of the BMW i3 puts function before fashion - and we like it like that... located on the dashboard, a small one in front of the driver that shows relevant charging and performance information and a larger (10.3-inch) one in the centre of the dash with the usual multimedia and navigation features. The BMW i3 is powered only by electricity. A 360-volt electric motor puts out 125 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque, the torque comes on song from just one rpm (that’s right, just one rpm and you’re into
maximum grunt!) which provides more than enough performance for a runabout suburban hatchback. It gives zero to 100km in 7.2 seconds in the standard model, and 7.9 seconds in the model with the heavier (by 125kg) Range EXtender (REX) engine. As in most electric cars there’s no gearbox as such, just a single speed transmission that provides power to the wheels, the rear wheels in the case of the i3. The biggest plus of elec-
tric, and hybrid, vehicles is that energy is put back into the batteries when slowing down or descending a hill. There are a number of charging options varying from 11 hours for a full charge through a standard domestic 10-amp power point; six hours via a BMW i Wallbox accessory (approximately $1750 plus installation); down to just 30 minutes at a DC fast charging station of which there are currently only two in Melbourne.
We used a standard 10amp powerpoint in our garage. This took the best part of 10 hours if the car was fully ‘empty’ but generally only seven to nine hours to give us a decent driving range of 80 to 110 kilometres. Performance is terrific, with the instant off-the-line reaction we love in all electric cars. Zero to 100km/h is achieved in the mid seven second range, that’s small sports hatch territory. Even better is the ability to pick up speed immediately when changing lanes and to overtake on country roads. There’s near silence from the rear mounted electric motor and the little petrol charging engine is barely audible. Handling is excellent thanks to the low centre of gravity created by the underfloor batteries. Most of the time when I return our road test cars after the standard week’s loan I don’t miss them,. But the futuristic BMW i3 caused me to make a backward glance or two and gave the feeling “I will miss you little Bimmer.”

Rotary pulls in for car show CAR lovers from across the country descended on Dandenong Showgrounds on Sunday to raise cash for Rotary. Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills hosted the seventh annual Dandenong Valley All Holden Car Show on 12 April. More than 2000 people viewed about 500 classic Holdens and watched trophy presentations for 46 categories. The club is still counting the proceeds. Last year’s show raised more than $24,000 which supported Big
Brother Big Sister, Cornerstone Contact Centre, student assistance at Doveton College, Hand Brake Turn, the Herb Thomas Memorial Trust and Inner Wheel Cord Blood Research. The show was originally designed as an outlet for local Commodore owners to get together and take pride in owning, maintaining and driving their cars in a responsible way. It’s just one event that Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills organises and runs. Call secretary Alan Kamerling on 0418 541 700 to get involved.
