Cuts take a grip By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

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”. “Our duty lawyer said it was a fantastic alternative for juvenile justice, a

A DIVERSION program that has stopped nearly 90 per cent of its young male clients from violently reoffending 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 well-being 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 crimeriddled 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

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 groupbased 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. A life back on track, page 9.

Night cops call By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY Council will look into the feasibility of having the Endeavour Hills Police Station manned 24 hours a day. The City of Casey resolved to write to Police Minister Wade Noonan to investigate the possibility after councillor Rafal Kaplon said the increasing population in the suburbs of Endeavour Hills, Hallam and Doveton had led to a “visible rise” in crime in the area. He said the community “weren’t feeling safe” after the Endeavour Hills policing region had seen a car fire, murder, school arson and a shooting at the station itself - all in the past year. Endeavour Hills police station is manned for 16 hours, seven days a week - from 7am to 11pm - while the Narre Warren and Cranbourne stations are staffed 24 hours a day.

After much deliberation of the intricacies of Cr Kaplon’s motion, the council agreed to write to both Minister Noonan and Shadow Police Minister Edward O’Donohue to “express the community’s need for the Endeavour Hills Police Station to be upgraded to a 24-hour station with the appropriate access, resources and staff”. Casey police Inspector Paul Breen acknowledged the community’s concerns but said the ability to upgrade Endeavour Hills Police Station would depend on resources. “Whether its achievable, that’s questionable,” Insp Breen said. “If police command thought they could increase the operating hours, there may be an opportunity for that to occur. “I would suspect most community members would prefer a 24hour police station for the sense of

well-being and safety, but the reality is police resources - we can’t have police everywhere, we just don’t have the numbers. “In that sense, we have to rationalise our resources.” According to the most recent Casey crime statistics, there were 3840 family violence incidents reported in 2014 compared to 3561 in the previous year, while in the same period the number of motor vehicle thefts in the municipality per 100,000 residents rose from 215.5 to 248.5. The statistics, co-ordinated for the first time by the independent Crime Statistics Agency, also indicated a 12.2 per cent rise in the total number of reported offences in Casey from 15,460 in 2013 to 17,349 in 2014. But Insp Breen previously said the increasingly large size of the

municipality had to be taken into account when considering the rise of reported family violence incidents in the region. In the same year it celebrated its 10th anniversary, the Endeavour Hills Police Station was the scene of the fatal shooting death of 18-yearold terrorism suspect Numan Haider last September. Meanwhile last month a body identified as Dung Tri Pham was found in a burnt-out car in Eummemmerring in a suspected murder. The gruesome discovery came a year after 34-year-old Rani Featherston’s murdered body was found a stone’s throw away in an industrial Doveton street off the Princes Highway. Earlier this year two teenagers were arrested after a suspicious fire gutted the disused Endeavour Hills Secondary College gym.

Man treated in hospital after spray bus hijack fails A MAN wielding a spray bottle filled with detergent highjacked a bus in central Dandenong. The 24-year-old boarded the vehicle in Clow Street about 6am on Saturday 4 April and approached the 31-year-old driver. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Tony Lavars said the man told the driver he was stealing the bus and demanded he get out, threatening to spray him. “It was unknown what the bottle contained,” Sen Const Lavars said. The driver pulled over and left the bus and the highjacker got behind the wheel. He was unable to disable the brake so he fled the scene. Police arrested him a short distance away. Sen Const Lavars said the man received hospital treatment for mental health issues before being remanded in custody. The police Transit Safety Division Crime Investigation Unit is investigating. There were no passengers on the bus at the time.

Knife gang robs partygoer A TEENAGER walking home from a party in Hallam was assaulted and had his phone and wallet stolen by a gang of attackers wielding knives. The 15-year-old from Cranbourne East was walking home with friends around 4am on Saturday 4 April from the Keppel Drive party when two men driving a Suzuki got out of the car and physically threatened one of the teenagers. Another car, a blue Commodore, arrived and more offenders approached the partygoers, with one attacker pulling a knife on the 15-year-old and demanding his phone. The victim handed over his phone and then ran away but was pursued by three of the offenders on foot, who then assaulted him and stole his wallet as well.

AN ENDEAVOUR Hills house caught fire after a man’s car allegedly went up in flames while he was working on it. According to police, the owner was in his Gresham Close garage doing maintenance work on his car about 1.55pm on Thursday 2 April when the vehicle caught alight and the fire then quickly spread to the nearby house. The fire is not being treated as suspicious. It’s believed the owner was working with electrical equipment before his car caught on fire. A number of CFA and ambulance units were called to the scene, but no-one was injured in the blaze.

Help is there on call By LACHLAN MOORHEAD OFTEN the first port of call for anyone in trouble is to seek out a GP. It’s for this reason mental health nurse Lyndsay Coutet felt it was imperative that the Hallam Medical Group provide free drug and alcohol support workshops for the Casey community. The Stepping Up workshops will start next week for the second year, providing not just addicts with the much-needed support they need, but also their families and friends. Mr Coutet said last year’s Stepping Up workshops at Hallam Medical Group were the first that Family Drug Support facilitator Michael Miller had held at a medical clinic. A fact Mr Coutet struggled to believe. “Don’t forget, the first port of call for people is the GP,” Mr Coutet said. “When we are worried about something we talk to a GP, so we thought that would be a good thing to do, to bring the program here. “Since we started the program, people have been more educated and less stressed.” There are three Stepping Up work-

Mental health nurse Lyndsay Coutet hopes this month’s Stepping Up drug counselling workshops held in Casey help highlight to the community that Picture: ROB CAREW help is out there. 137260 shops being run this month in Casey, covering general information on alcohol and drugs, stages of change for users and carers, and strategies on how to communi-

cate with someone under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Mr Coutet - who also co-ordinates the Vision of Hope counselling program for

carers of drug users - said the Stepping Up workshops were aimed at showing new people in Casey that help was out there if one is willing to find it. And in most cases, Mr Coutet said, they are. “A lot of people don’t know anything about this... they don’t know we exist here,” he said “Sometimes they want to talk about it and they don’t know where to go.” The Stepping Up sessions will be held on 13, 20 and 27 April from 6.30pm to 9pm at the Hallam Medical Group - 212 Princes Highway, Hallam. “This is for people to have an understanding of their loved one who is taking drugs or alcohol, because a lot of the time we don’t know how to communicate with users,” he said. “Stepping Up is for users and loved ones of users ... we want to target the new community, new people ... we want to educate the community. “There’s a lot of taboos about these things and there shouldn’t be. “At least when you come here, everything is confidential.” For more information, contact Lyndsay Coutet on 9796 5400.

Luke’s recovery gets a good reception at home CASEY council will invite Luke Shambrook and his family to a mayoral reception after the 11-year-old was found just before noon last Tuesday, following his disappearance from a campsite near Lake Eildon four days earlier. The Narre Warren boy, who has autism, hadn’t been seen since he disappeared from Can-

dlebark Camping Area in Fraser National Park at 9.30am on Friday 3 April. He was found off Skyline Road by police helicopters at 11.55am on Tuesday 7 April. Luke’s parents Tim and Rachel Shambrook, who were involved in the push for opening Officer Specialist School, were

joined in the search for their son by an extensive search team made up of emergency crews and volunteers including fellow members of the Berwick Church of Christ. Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon last Tuesday night urged the City of Casey to hold a mayoral reception for Luke and

his family as a matter of urgent business. She said it was every parent’s worst nightmare to lose a child. “How he survived four nights out there is nothing short of a miracle,” Cr Stapledon said. Gembrook MP Brad Battin, who met Luke and his family at a campaign to build the recently

opened specialist school, posted Facebook updates about the search on behalf of the family. “He’s a lovely young kid,” said Mr Battin, who was relieved to hear of his recovery. Luke was transported to the Royal Children’s Hospital for medical treatment soon after being found.

IN BRIEF Man hit with a shotgun A BERWICK resident was hit with a shotgun after he was chased by a group of men who confronted him at his home. About 5.50am on Tuesday 31 March the 34-year-old man was confronted by three men at the front of his Glenisla Way home who made demands and tried to enter his house. After they failing to gain entry the victim followed them and saw them get into a car. However they saw him and one man emerged with a shotgun. They chased him and hit him with the shotgun but before he got back into his home.

Break-in boy A CRANBOURNE boy was arrested by police after he allegedly tried to break into a property along Memorial Drive, Narre Warren North. Police said the young man attempted to break in to the property about 1.45am on Thursday 2 April but the occupants called police before he had the chance to enter. Police said he was in possession of stolen property and has been charged with aggravated burglary and theft.

Light shines for future By LACHLAN MOORHEAD AFTER a decade helping young women in Casey, the team at Angel Light Link is already looking towards the next 10 years. The Hallam-based charity will this year use a $10,000 Westpac grant to bolster its operations in the municipality and look to provide its own support groups and counselling offices in addition to referring youths to other services. Angel Light Link President Sally McCracken said her team helped more than 1000 women across 20 schools in Casey, but noted there was an opportunity to provide longer-term assistance. “Currently our services are all provided from outside our office location; we’re an outreach program,” she said. “We are linking people in with services but we want to set up support groups and counselling offices ourselves.

The Angel Light Link team, from left, Kate Johnson, Joanne Hughes, Sally McCracken, Kerrie Russell, Theresa Moyes, and Rachelle Eddy. “We have new offices in Hallam where we could offer therapeutic support.” Angel Light Link was created in 2005 to help young women in Casey aged 12 to 18 learn to

address and understand health and wellbeing issues including depression, anxiety and selfharm. “We were seeing a lot of needs for young people in the

area, specifically young women, and we did a lot of research to see what was available,” Ms McCracken said. “Although there were a lot of services out and about, a lot was

focused on crisis management instead of intervention and prevention needs.” Ms MrCracken noted the fast-growing youth population of Casey and how many areas in the region were increasingly being used as a hangout for young women. “That’s not saying young men don’t struggle with the same issues, they do, but young women and young men deal with same issues differently and approach them quite differently,” she said. “We’ve been careful in not making it exclusive but with the number of topics we deal with, like body image, girls deal with body image differently to boys for example.” For more information, visit www.angellightlink.org.

Mentors move to guide Guides SCHOOLGIRLS from across Casey gathered together last month to celebrate the 20th Girl Guides Women of Note mentor breakfast. Roughly 75 Year 11 female students from local schools attended the event at the Casey Council chambers at which a number of invited mentors from different fields spoke to guests about their potential career paths. Kay Rankin, who has presided over the event for most of the 20 years, said

the anniversary was a special occasion, capped off by keynote speaker Angela Madden. “This year the guest speaker was Captain Angela Madden from the Australian Army and she enthralled the young women with her story,” Ms Rankin said. “Having been appointed into the Australian regular Army as a General Service Officer in January 2006, she attended the Australian Defence Force Academy and was awarded a Bachelor of Science in 2008. “Captain Madden spent time

in Afghanistan and Dubai before being deployed to Sinai, Egypt... all before the age of 28 years.” Ms Rankin was also presented with a 20-year service certificate at the breakfast by Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon. “Women of Note, together with Girl Guides Victoria, are extremely grateful for the support given over the last 20 years by the City of Casey, who help with the administration of the event and provide their council chambers to hold the breakfast.”

Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon presented Kay Rankin with her 20-year certificate at last month's Girl Guides Women of Note mentor breakfast.

Festival gets its skates on for youth THE City of Casey is set to join in the fun for National Youth Week this month. Young people from Casey are being encouraged to join in the celebrations from 10 to 19 April, which will include a live music Fringe Fest and the annual Rock ‘n’ Skate Festival, among other activities. “Whether it be through volunteering, sport, art, music, education or community service, young people make valuable contributions to the Casey community and help make it a wonderful place to live,” Casey Mayor Mick Morland said. The Fringe Fest will be held on Friday 10 April from 6.15pm to 11.15pm at the Cranbourne Public Hall and allows a host of emerging young performers from the municipality to try their hand on stage. The Rock ‘n’ Skate Festival will be held on Saturday 18 April at the Shed Indoor Skatepark in Cranbourne East and will include a scooter, BMX and skate competition.

SAFFRON GROVE A boutique retirement community

Every drop helps GROWING up with a farmer for a dad, Vicky Hamilton knows the importance of water. These humble beginnings were inspiration for the Casey mother of three in recently helping to provide water filters to under-privileged villages throughout Cambodia. “My dad’s been a farmer, he’s retired now, but he had a market garden out in Devon Meadows,” Vicky said. “So I grew up knowing the importance of water. “When we went out to the villages and saw the state of the water they were drinking, it was shattering. “When I came home and took a glass of water from the tap, I was so grateful.” Vicky used to be scared of flying but when her father Kevin - a pastor at the South Eastern Christian Centre in Endeavour Hills - urged her to join him on a church tour to Cambodia, Vicky found the humanitarian need so severe that she has been back several times since her first trip in 2012. “I just fell in love with the country. To see the needs there blew me away,” she said. “We can’t imagine it; I wouldn’t have been able to imagine it. “It was very rough, going without my comfortable Western needs that I’m so used to. “I was taken to a local village. “This was the start of the

Vicky Hamilton, back, and her family, front, Corey, Isabelle and Tamara and, rear, Ben and Vicky's dad Kevin Clark, have been helping to provide fresh water to people living in villages in Cambodia. 137337 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS passion, when I came back I took my husband over there, too. “He’d never been out of Australia before, let alone a third world country.” It’s understood each filter caters for a family of five and can help to remove up to 98 per cent of germs. “My Dad’s just gotten back; he did another 60 filters, and now we look after someone in Cambodia who will touch base with us to make sure they’re being cleaned,” Vicky said. “A lot of the villagers have upset bellies all the time, fevers, and also in parts of Cambodia there is a natural table of arse-

nic.” Vicky’s newfound passion for helping those less fortunate in Cambodia gain access to clean water has spread to her husband, Ben, and three children Tamara, 13, Corey, 9, and Isabelle, 6. In December the whole Hamilton family travelled to Cambodia for six weeks to supply water filters to the villages. “The kids were awesome, they pretty much gave up Christmas to be involved. “You can’t get that education in the classroom,” Vicky said. “We were sitting there and my six-year-old said she kept thinking about these people in the villages.”

ivercrest Christian College ofers an internationally renowned inquiry-based curriculum that provides students with the opportunity to engage in learning experiences that are meaningful, signiicant and challenging.

Life on back 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 bottled-up victimhood from child abuse, he said. Wholesome free and low-cost activities were organised such as bowling, karate and tennis - stuff that a lot of families couldn’t other-

wise afford, he said. It changed him. He said he was “shattered” that the GRIPP program is winding up, listing all the many young males it has helped over the past seven years. David continues working “as hard as I can” as an apprentice. He wants to build a career. He doesn’t need to look far to see where he could have ended up. He knows a few mates who are locked up; these are people he no longer associates with. “They don’t even care if they go back,” he said. “They need to grow up. “You’ve got to keep it positive and think for the future.”

A 17-YEAR-OLD has been further remanded following an incident at Berwick McDonald’s on Thursday. A Berwick teen who did not have a driver’s licence was found at the McDonald’s drivethrough by police in what was suspected to be a stolen car. Police tried to intercept him on foot before he allegedly drove at them and collided with one police member, who did not sustain any injuries. He proceeded to drive out of the fast food premises, hitting three other vehicles on the way out. He escaped but was later arrested by police on Monday and charged with a number of offences, including conduct endangering life and evading police. He was remanded and appeared in court on Tuesday where he was further remanded. He is next scheduled to appear in the Melbourne Children’s Court on 16 April.

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.

While police continue to monitor the district they have reported to E District’s chief, Mr Bill Jackson, that dragsters are off the roads. He said the door was always open to responsible fast car enthu-

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 15 April 1915 The War Dandenong Volunteers Honoured A PLEASANT, though informal and hastily arranged re-union took place at Broadmeadows on Friday afternoon. A party from Dandenong, including the President of the Shire (Cr William Rain), Cr A W Pearson and Mrs Pearson and Mr J Macpherson attended at the YMCA tent at 4.45pm to make a small presentation and to wish goodbye to the Dandenong Expedition. Mr W H Walker, Mr Field, Mr E P Walker and Mr W H A Rodd and other gentleman who had taken an interest in the movement were not able to attend for various reasons. The notice given had been short

and the time had to be arranged in accordance with the Camp Commandant’s convenience. The fund from which the gifts were made was got together mainly by the efforts of Mrs Arthur Kennedy who was assisted by Mrs Pearson. Contributions were also received from the Committee of the Dandenong ANA. The afternoon turned out very wet, but by permission the President's motor car carrying the party, was allowed to drive right up to the YMCA tent. At the tent the following soldiers had assembled - Sergeant Reginald Pickett, John Ordish, Walter T West, Robert Brock, R A Nicholson, Samuel Pearce, George Byrnes, Albert Masters, Charles Christopherson, Ernest Arthur Smith, Law-

siasts to discuss possible locations where legal meets could be held. 5 years ago 5 April 2010 A Mog’s life, upgraded ELDERLY residents lounging around on comfy chairs aren’t an unusual sight at an aged-care centre. But the inhabitants of this retirement village happen to be pampered pusses. A small house on the grounds of the Australian Animal Protection Society’s Keysborough shelter is home to about 10 elderly cats whose owners have died or were unable to care for them. Donations give the felines an enviable life of luxury in their twilight years. - Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society

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.

A search for war artefacts By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A WELL-RESPECTED group of Casey artists is looking for community help as it prepares for its special Anzac Centenary exhibition later this year. Provenance Artists, a not-forprofit group of local artists, was awarded the $22,605 grant in February to help put together its Holt Anzac Centenary Fine Art Exhibition to be held in July. Passionate artist Calvin Bell has now called on residents from the Holt electorate to lend any artefacts to the group that they may have of World War I to be used as inspiration for paintings or even displayed at the exhibition. Holt MP Anthony Byrne helped push for the Federal grant, with two

others also approved for local organisations, including $3420 for the Cranbourne Combined Patchworkers, and $814 for the Saffron Grove Retirement Village in Hallam. The grant will see 30 artists given the ability to paint a range of Anzac pieces for the exhibition, of which five will be student artists, five will be hobby artists, 10 will be emerging artists and 10 will be established Provenance artists. The Holt Anzac Centenary Fine Art Exhibition will take place from 4 to 5 July at the Narre Warren Mechanics Institute Hall in Webb Street. Residents with WWI photos are encouraged to contact Provenance Artists secretary Rhonda Rawson on 9707 4286, or at randrrawson@ bigpond.com.

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.

Many factors affect the price of a property — the type of property and its location are probably the most important factors. Market conditions and the demand for properties are also extremely in¿uential. The best way to establish an estimated selling price for your property is to ask your local LJ Hooker agent to view the property and give you their professional opinion.

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.

Dad’s lesson is living on By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

Steph Shave, far right, prepares some food with her fellow Casey Young Vinnies leaders Pavindri Kulasekera, middle, and Yohanes Prasetyo.

STEPH Shave’s memory of her late and loving father is of a selfless man who went out of his way to help others. After Michael passed from a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer in 2011, Steph wanted to honour her father’s memory by walking in his caring shadow. And soon she joined the Casey Young Vinnies youth initiative. “He was very charity oriented, he had a heart of gold,” Steph said, remembering her father. “If there was someone who appealed about something, someone who was involved in a char-

Get a copy of your Star News Group newspaper next week as we celebrate locally the ANZAC Centenary.

Celebrating the Anzac Centenary locally… 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.

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

ity, he always wanted to sponsor that or be a part of it. “I guess that’s where it came from for me.” Through her church, St Michael’s, 22-year-old Steph joined the Casey Young Vinnies program part of the St Vincent de Paul Society. Casey Young Vinnies is a youth initiative made up of 12 youth leaders from the municipality who pair with underprivileged children aged six to 12 and participate in a range of events and excursions with them. “I googled volunteering positions for youths and found Young Vinnies, which operates out of the church I attend - it’s tied hand in hand,” she said. Steph said she had been a passionate member of the group for the last three years. “I absolutely love it. You can’t really explain the feeling you get from helping these kids,” she said. “Families actually come to St Vincent de Paul’s prior to knowing about our group and the bigger body, St Vincent, will see if the kids want to be part of our program and the families are often very receptive.” Casey Young Vinnies is now one of 10 volunteering organisations selected from across Victoria to participate in the ‘Imagine the possibilities’ campaign, launched by Volunteering Victoria this year. The campaign, which will be rolled out in 10 selected communities, aims to raise awareness of the value that volunteering delivers in the community and the different ways in which one can engage in volunteering. Steph said without the help of St Vincent de Paul’s, the Casey Young Vinnies program wouldn’t be able to operate as it did, helping as many of the underprivileged youth in the region as possible.

Midwife’s wise words By LACHLAN MOORHEAD EIGHTEEN years ago Carol Friday guessed Leanne Smith’s newborn son would grow to be six foot four. With the now 18-year-old Jake clocking in at six foot five, Carol wasn’t far off. As a maternal health nurse for the City of Casey, patrolling Berwick’s relatively new Timbarra Estate in a caravan during the late ’90s, the new mothers on the block came to rely on Carol’s parenting advice and continually trusted her instincts. “Babies don’t come with a rule book and we were all brand-new mums back then, even second or third time mums were seeing her too,” Leanne, now living in Clyde, said. “When you’re a brand-new mum, you’re not sure if anything you’re doing is right but Carol was always available, she always cared. “The world has lost a really nice lady, who touched many, many lives. “All of our thoughts go out to her family.” Last month Carol, 68, and her 29-yearold son Greig, perished when Germanwings flight 9525 travelling from Barcelona to Dusseldorf went down in the French Alps. There were no survivors among the 150 passengers and crew. It’s believed German co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, 28, was left in sole control of the plane after the captain left the cockpit, refusing to re-open the door and allegedly initiating the plane’s descent. Carol, a talented artist, and her son, a mechanical engineer, had been enjoying a few weeks’ holiday together before Greig began work in Europe. “I was absolutely horrified,” Leanne said, following the tragedy. “When it’s someone you know, you tend to put yourself in their situation, trying to think what she and her son went through in those last few moments.

Carol Friday, and her son Greig, perished in last month's Germanwings plane crash in the French Alps. Carol worked as a registered nurse for the City of Casey. “It’s just horrific. Because it’s someone I did know, it makes it all the more real. “She was just a lovely lady. There will be so many mums in the Casey area that knew her; she affected a lot of people’s lives in an extremely good way.” A minute’s silence was held for Carol and Greig last Tuesday night at the City of Casey’s fortnightly council meeting. Mayor Mick Morland said the council’s thoughts were with the Friday family. Upon hearing of the tragedy, Leanne dug out her son’s yellow “baby book”, a record of Jake’s weight and height written down just after he was born. Carol Friday’s name is inscribed inside the cover.

Leanne Smith leaned on the shoulders and advice of her maternal health nurse Carol Friday when Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Leanne's son Jake (pictured) was born 18 years ago. 137355

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Jobs waiting for new tram order to arrive By CASEY NEILL GREATER Dandenong jobs are on the line while Bombardier waits for the State Government to order more trams. The warning came last week ahead of manufacturing showcase Dandenong on Wheels, to be held in Dandenong Civic Square this Friday 17 April and featuring trains and trams from the rail company. Bombardier is halfway through delivering 50 new E-Class trams for a State Government contract that finishes in December next year. The contract had the option for a further 100 trams and Bombardier hopes an order for at least some of these will be in next month’s State

Budget. If not, its contracts with suppliers will be in danger. Greens MP Nina Springle last week called for an immediate order for 50 trams, in line with Public Transport Victoria advice on tram network needs. “Dandenong’s Bombardier factory is one of the manufacturing success stories in Melbourne and is vitally important to the people who work there, their families and the local economy,” she said. “As well, 90 of the 300 businesses that supply parts to Bombardier are also based in Dandenong - and these businesses and workers also face uncertainty until the government commits to a new tram order.” A spokesman for Public Trans-

port Minister Jacinta Allan refused to commit to the order and said a Labor government had ordered the trams currently being built. “The previous Liberal Government did not order a single tram in the last four years,” he said. He said the State Government had already announced major investments in new trains for Victoria, including 30 new Xtrapolis carriages from Alstom’s Ballarat workshop and 37 new highcapacity trains. “These new trains will be built by local workers, with at least 50 per cent of their manufacturing to take place here in Victoria,” he said. The spokesman said this was part of the government’s Rolling Stock

Strategy, which would be released in next month’s State Budget and incorporate regional train rolling stock - and trams. “The strategy will end ad hoc procurement of trains and trams, give certainty to manufacturers, and ensure the number of trains and trams on the network keeps pace with patronage increases,” he said. Bombardier has become a key employer in Greater Dandenong, alongside manufacturers producing buses, caravans, trucks, off-road camper trailers, defence vehicles and more. These vehicles will be on show in Dandenong Civic Square throughout 17 April thanks to a partnership between the City of Greater Dandenong,

Advice on board

Confidence is a hit on course GOLFERS hit the greens to raise more than $10,000 for Wallara last month. The Dandenong-based disability support service held the event at Frankston Golf Club on 30 March. Proceeds will go towards training and development programs which are designed to provide young men and women with opportunities to enhance their confidence and communication skills and prepare them for work. Wallara ambassadors are Wallara service users who share their story to promote the not-for-profit organisation, and they hosted the event alongside CEO Phil Hayes-Brown.

Committee for Dandenong and the South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA). Mayor Sean O’Reilly said the event would showcase the city’s manufacturing talent. “We are going to let people know that manufacturing in Dandenong and in south eastern Melbourne is very much alive and well,” he said. “We want young people to see the extensive future career opportunities in the manufacturing sector. “It takes a broad spectrum of education and skills to design and build these wonderful transport vehicles, and companies within our region are truly leading the world.”

Wallara ambassador Natalie checks out the grounds before the teams arrive.

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. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said there were now two buses operating across the state. “The business mentors have extensive experience in running their own small business or have worked in senior business management,” she said. “They are skilled in marketing, finance, human resources and sales.” 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.

SPORT

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

Malcolm Heard (18 points, 10 rebounds) and David Smith (12 points, 8 rebounds) led the Cougar call, but the Steelers were too strong down the stretch - as Manny Hendrix dazzled his home crowd hitting 38 points, including five treys. 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 By EWAN KENNEDY 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 with BMW’s apparently outrageous prediction. 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. 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 located on the dashboard, a small one in front of the driver that

We used a standard 10-amp 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. That was using Comfort mode, we also tried Eco Pro and Eco Pro+ modes but found the lack of performance irritating at times as was the lack of airconditioning in hot and humid Gold Coast weather. A gentle sound is artificially created at speeds up to 30 km/h to alert pedestrians that an otherwise silent car is in the vicinity. Performance is terrific, with the instant off-the-line reaction

Styling of the BMW i3 puts function before fashion - and we like it like 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. This provides more than enough performance for a runabout suburban hatchback.

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.

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. The latter is a 650cc twincylinder petrol unit that charges the batteries. 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 electric,

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. The BMW i3 can be a ‘onepedal’ car with a little bit of foresight in driving, that is you use the pedal on the right to increase and decrease speed. We were able to accomplish trips of 20 to 30 kilometres without using the brakes which not only put energy back into the car it also created absolutely no brake dust. Handling is excellent thanks to the low centre of gravity created by the underfloor batteries. Finally a confession. Most of the time when I return our road test cars after the standard week’s loan I don’t miss them, simply turn my back and walk away. The futuristic BMW i3 caused me to make a backward glance or two and gave the feeling, “I will miss you little Bimmer, pity I can’t keep you a lot longer…”

input method. As ever, there’s no standard USB input, and you need a separate cable to plug your phone in via a port in the glovebox. The Bang and Olufsen 14-speaker system has good clear sound but whether it's worth $1700 is a question for better ears than ours. Audi claims 6.7 litres per 100km on the combined cycle. We saw 9.3 L/100km, but there's a good reason for that - it spins very cheerfully and is a lot of fun to bang through the gears. Despite a few S-Line logos around the car, our test car had escaped the excesses of S-Line suspension - this can make otherwise slick-riding Audis a bit hard to live with as your fillings rattle around in your mouth. In this unsporty trim, the A5 is as smooth to drive as it is to look at. Bigger bumps will upset the body a little, but when battling the suburban road network it manages an easygoing ride with minimal suspension racket. There’s a bit of road noise from the fat tyres, but apart from that, the cabin is quiet and agreeable. Piling on the pressure, the car responds. The quattro system is excellent at keeping things on rails but isn’t what you'd call particularly involving.

THE A5 range is a series of many wonders - the svelte coupe, blisteringly fast S5 and RS5 and, of course, the gorgeous Sportback. Cars this old shouldn't still be this pretty. Based on the sober but sleek A4, the A5 takes those themes, lowers the package to a sportier altitude and manages to improve the proportions with a hatchback. It isn't cheap but for the buyer looking for practicality and prettiness, the A5 Sportback has many charms. The A5 range starts at $68,200 for the 1.8-litre petrol front-wheel-drive CVT in both coupe and five-door. Another $1500 lands you in a turbodiesel in both flavours and then a decent jump to the 2.0 TFSI quattro all-wheel drive models. You can keep going up the range until the $111,400 petrol 3.0-litre straight six. That’s when the S5 and RS5 prices start... Our road test quattro Sportback started at $77,300 for the seven-speed dual-clutch equipped 2.0 TFSI petrol. For that kind of money, the five-door has a 10-speaker stereo, 18-inch alloy wheels, dualzone climate-control, keyless entry and start, satnav, rear vision camera, cruise control, powered tailgate, electric front seats, automatic xenon headlights, auto wipers, leather trim on seats, shifter and steering wheel and various metallic trim pieces. You can add various packages that include gadgets, big wheels and extra safety bits and pieces, and these range from a few hundred dollars through to several thousand. Have we mentioned how pretty it is? The A5 Sportback is very pretty. Long and low-slung, the five-door coupe looks best with the biggest wheels your budget will allow. It’s like a Jaguar XF has been to Berlin. The fish hook daytime running lights make the A5 instantly recognisable on the road Inside is surprisingly lofty and familiar from the A4 - switchgear and dash carry over and that isn't a bad thing, although starting to pale a little compared to Audi's current efforts with the A1, A3 and TT. The rear seat does suffer in the coupe conversion, losing the middle seat, which is probably for the better as the headroom on offer isn’t great. The boot is enormous and a very practical squared shape, with the tailgate opening high. Drop the seats and you have a significant amount of space that make the trip to Flatpack and Meatball World slightly less comical than you might imagine. Six airbags, ABS, brake assist, stability and traction control, brake force distribution, lap sash belts all round and reversing camera are all present, but neither ANCAP nor EuroNCAP have tested the A5. The seven-inch display sits high in the dash and is controlled by Audi’s MMI, a rotary dial and shortcut button arrangement on the centre console. It takes a little bit of getting used to, particularly where you have to map functions to shortcut buttons, but is easy enough once you have the hang of it. The satellite navigation is detailed and performs well, with clear instructions and an easy
