Service of thanks YARRAMAN Oaks Primary School held a moving service last Friday to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Anzac troops landing at Gallipoli in Turkey. The Noble Park school incorporated wreath making in art classes and engaged the school community to create finger-knitted poppies to mark the World War I milestone. Each class laid a wreath beneath a flagpole where the Australian flag flies proudly and school leaders spoke about the meaning of Anzac Day.

■ Warning follows last council budget before rate capping kicks in...
Rates squeeze By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
1170560-ACM06-15
GREATER Dandenong Council has warned that rate capping will squeeze $50 million out of future services and major projects over five years. In its draft budget to be considered by councillors on Monday night, the council announced a 5.5 per cent residential rates rise in 2015-’16 - the last budget before rate rises are expected to be capped to CPI. Corporate services director Mick Jaensch said there had been no attempt to “beat” rate capping in the draft budget. This year’s rates hike was lower than the council’s forecast 5.9 per cent
and comparable to recent years’ rises, he said. Thc council had also not resorted to any new borrowing as it increased this coming year’s capital works, library, school-crossing guards and parks spending. If the budget passes, kerbside waste charges will, however, escalate by nine per cent - up between $19 and $25 depending on bin sizes. That rise has been partly blamed on a $414,000 drop in the sale of recyclables due to waste contamination in residents’ bins. For a median property with a 120-litre bin, the combined rates and waste bill will rise from $1108 to $1178.
Things, however, look more austere under rate capping after 2015-’16, with the CPI rising just 1.3 per cent in the 12 months to March 2015. Mr Jaensch said the delivery of the $35-$45 million Springvale civic project by 2020 would not be affected. But other projects such as new community facilities in Keysborough South, a pavilion in Tatterson Park, a refurbishment or redevelopment at Oasis Aquatic Centre and the Dandenong Community Hub would be delayed, deferred or abandoned. In the draft budget, the council has still forecast steeply rising capital works spending up until 2018-’19 - largely funded by savings in the op-
erational budget which covers maintaining buildings and parks, waste collection, roads, street cleaning and street lighting. Mr Jaensch said operational services would need to be cut or capital works, including major projects and asset renewal, would come to a “grinding halt”. In this year’s budget, the major project allocations include $3 million for acquiring land for the Keysborough South Community Hub, $1.5 million to start work on the Springvale civic precinct and library redevelopment and $1 million to finish works at Ross Reserve, Noble Park. Money has also been allocated for floodlights at Noble Park Junior Foot-
ball Club, works at Tatterson Park Pavilion and Alan Carter pavilion at Greaves Reserve, Dandenong, and to relocate Dandenong’s toy library and maternal and child health services. Other highlights include the establishment of a City of Greater Dandenong charitable fund and $500,000 towards traffic lights at the notorious Robinson Street-Princes Highway intersection. The council hopes VicRoads will complete the $2.5 million Robinson Street project next year. Further money has been allocated to Dandenong’s Civic Square, Christmas decorations and New Year, Lunar New Year and short film festivals. More budget coverage page 10.

Radical centre closes By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE closure of Al-Furqan Islamic Centre in Springvale South will reduce the risk of young men and teenagers being radicalised but “we can’t rest on our laurels”, says a terrorism expert. The centre announced its closure on Wednesday in the run up to Dandenong’s Anzac Day services at which police said they would be armed following heightened terrorism fears. The concerns come after police arrested five men in the region on 18 April following a tip-off from British police about a plan to attack Anzac Day services. Professor Greg Barton of Monash University’s Global Terrorism Research Centre said there were not many alternative “extremist, fundamentalist” hubs outside of Al Furqan to lure “relatively normal” young men as potential Islamic State recruits. “Its closure is a good thing. It was contributing to the problem. It didn’t drive the radicalisation by itself but fed into that in a way that was destructive. “Whatever the intention of those leading it was, the subculture at Al-Furqan was an exception to the rule. “It was a concern to the wider Muslim community. “It’s not only an embarrassment to the community but a real threat.” Shelves were emptied and signs at the Al-Furqan centre were stripped away after it
announced its immediate closure due to “harassment, pressure and false accusations” on Wednesday night. In a statement on its website, the centre announced it was “the best course of action for the protection of the local community, its members, and the broader Muslim community”. Reports had linked the three teenage men charged over the raids - as well as Numan Haider who stabbed police and was shot outside Endeavour Hills Police Station last year - with Al-Furqan. The centre described the claims as “unfounded and misleading”. Prof Barton described the radicalisation of young men and teenagers as a fast-moving crisis. “We can’t rest on our laurels. “Islamic State was getting actively involved, investing in these young people with friendships, giving them selfesteem, a sense of belonging. “These young people have legitimate questions about why things are the way they are in the world. “They are given black and white answers.” Prof Barton said despite multiculturalism’s “positive story” in the south-east, “we are not doing very well” at positively engaging at-risk youth. He said the police’s “good” relationships with the community was also under strain after the shooting death of Abdul
Numan Haider at Endeavour Hills Police Station last September and the recent arrests under Operation Rising. Prof Barton said young people bound for Syria who were denied passports or stopped at the airport needed to be “followed up in a systematic and consistent way”. Last week IS recruiter Neil Prakash called on young people via an online video to follow Mr Haider’s precedent, who was denied a passport before his doomed attack on police. “They think they’ll be remembered as a hero,” Prof Barton said. “Unfortunately it’s also a tragic waste of life.” It is thought the alleged terrorism plot was to run over police officers at several Anzac Day services and attack them with an edged weapon. The officers’ firearms were then to be used in a shooting rampage.

Rammed car chase teen still on the run A TEEN is on the run following a pursuit in Dandenong that ended with a police car being rammed. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Glen Cruse said a stolen car was involved in a hitrun with another vehicle in Langhorne Street about 12.45am on Sunday 19 April. Police located the car travelling in Gerard Street a short time later and tried to intercept it but the driver refused to stop. Sgt Cruse said the vehicle drove into a police car in Cooma Court and its three occupants fled on foot. The police Air Wing and Dog Squad assisted during the pursuit and helped to locate two boys near the scene. Police charged a 15-year-old and 16-yearold, both from Dandenong North, with theft of a motor vehicle, conduct endangering life, leaving the scene of an accident and other related offences. They were bailed to appear at Dandenong Children’s Court at a later date. Police are still searching for a third teen, described as of African appearance.

Brick business was family foundation stone WHAT’S IN A NAME DELVES INTO THE FASCINATING STORIES AND PERSONALITIES BEHIND SOME OF THE CITY’S BEST-KNOWN STREET NAMES. THIS WEEK THE JOURNAL LOOKS AT ORDISH ROAD, NAMED AFTER ONE OF THE DANDENONG’S FIRST INDUSTRIAL FAMILIES. WILLIAM Percival Ordish was one of Dandenong’s pioneering business identities. When he died in 1930, the Frankston and Somerville Standard paid tribute to Mr Ordish and his entrepreneurial spirit. “Mr Ordish, who lived at Dandenong, set out one day with a barrow and a shovel to prospect for clay. In what was then a large open paddock on Stud Road, he found that for which he sought, and the digging of that first barrow load of clay laid the foundation stone of what was destined to become a flourishing business.” From humble beginnings in the early 1890s, the business flourished when Mr Ordish secured a contract to supply bricks to the Victorian Railways. It eventually became the best-known fire-brick manufacturer in Victoria. “Today it is one of the leading industries of Dandenong, and no travel-
WHAT’S IN A NAME? ler along Stud Road has passed without being impressed by the great line of kilns which have grown upon that spot where a young man delved for his first barrow load of clay.” The Ordish Fire Brick Company became a family business, with William’s son Rowland and then grandson Joseph also among the Ordishes to work there. Rowland had two sons Thomas and Joseph. Tragically, their mother died when the boys were very young and the siblings were separated, with Joe sent to live with family friends, the Fosters. Joe attended Dandenong Primary School. He worked in the family busi-

Amiens on 8 Aug 1918. He re-joined his unit on 3 November 1918, just weeks before the war ended. Joe returned to Australia in June 1919. He married wife Florence in
1919 and set up home in McPherson Street. Joe died in 1961. Journal columnist Jack Johnson remembers visiting Joe and Florence’s home as a boy in the 1930s. “Their house in McPherson Street was on a corner and used to go there when we were little kids. “They had a fabulous cactus garden and rockery that went around the whole front of house. “They used to quite often put on open days raising money for the hospital. People would pay a penny to go in there.“ William Ordish sold his business in 1922 but the works continued production to about 1975.

Strike sour taste By CASEY NEILL
MONASH Health has refused to confirm whether it threw away food left unattended during a kitchen strike last week - or served it up to patients. Health Workers Union (HWU) members walked off the job on Wednesday 22 April at the Kingston facility that produces meals for hospitals across the south east, including Dandenong and Casey. Union Secretary Diana Asmar said the move followed months of health and safety complaints that had “fallen on deaf ears”.
“We’ve got members that have to prepare food from sub-zero temperatures in freezers because there’s simply not enough room,” she said. HWU officials told the Journal that workers walked away from the kitchen between 10.30am and 2.30pm. “No-one was allowed to touch the food. The majority of the food prep was left in an open room for over three hours,” a spokesman said. “In terms of food handling guidelines, generally it’s about 90 minutes. “This is danger zone in terms of food contamination, espe-
cially salmonella.” He said the kitchen prepared about 9000 meals on an average day but Wednesdays was a ‘double production’ day. He said about 40 per cent of the day’s food was left sitting out during the strike - more than 7000 meals. “If you start giving patients food that hasn’t been prepared properly... then vulnerable patients could die,” Ms Asmar said. Monash Health spokeswoman Holly Gilligan said the hospital group “had to throw out a small amount of food in accordance with our strict food hygiene guidelines”.
She would not confirm how much food was affected or how the hospitals covered any shortfall in meals. “The safety of our patients and our staff is and continues to be Monash Health’s first priority, all food produced was produced in line with our approved Food Safety Plan,” Ms Gilligan said. “There was no impact at Dandenong Hospital, Casey Hospital or any other Monash Health site, all patients received their regular meals. “Our kitchen staff remained onsite during this time.”
Wrong bus girl’s route back home By CASEY NEILL A FRANTIC mum went to the Dandenong Police Station counter on 15 April living every parent’s worst nightmare - her daughter was missing. Natalie Ann Van Damme suffers from Down syndrome and was due to return to her home in Hawdon Street, Dandenong North about 4pm. First Constable Bianca McKay said Natalie caught a bus from a care centre in Walker Street, Dandenong, about 3pm. “She normally catches the bus straight home from school. She has a pretty strict routine,” she said. But the 22-year-old had
got on the wrong bus. Officers put the word out to patrols, gave PSOs from Dandenong Railway Station Natalie’s photograph and contacted the bus company. “They gave us a location where someone had got off the bus because they were on the wrong bus,” First Const McKay said. “We thought it was her. That gave us a location of Heatherton Road and EastLink.” They called nearby businesses and hospitals and when Natalie’s parents said she was scared of the dark searched areas with lighting, including schools and fish and chip shops.

the night and was delighted to find in the morning that Natalie was safe and sound. “She’d stayed on the wrong bus until she got to Waverley Gardens,” she said. About 1am security guards checked her proof of age card and called Natalie’s mum, listed on the back as
her emergency contact. The family paid a visit to those involved in the search the next morning, and Natalie promised to call triple zero if she ever landed in a similar situation. “She’d made us a thankyou card and brought in chocolates,” First Const McKay said.

After five years patiently waiting, Ms Kendell threw a big celebration and said getting involved in the Cancer Council’s initiative has helped her move on from her own cancer experience. “When you’ve had cancer you either have nothing to do with it or you throw yourself into it,” Ms Kendell said. “I think it has helped me move on and get over it, you lose a lot of confidence when you have cancer."

pital. “A heap of us girls get together and have a wine and a cup of tea and a chat, which means a lot to us because noone knows what it’s like until you go through it and we’ve become like a close-knit family.” Ms Kendell said Kiara had been acting according to her nickname ‘Pixie’ and delivering pamphlets around town and putting signs in shop windows to advertise the event, which will be held at her very own primary school, Kingswood Primary School in Dingley Village on Sunday 3 May. There will be games, face painting, craft, auctions, raffles and, of course, cups of tea available on the day. “It’s all about having fun, everyone’s giving from their hearts,” she said.

Zigzag to licence loss By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN’S lengthy list of mitigating excuses in court last week made no difference to his mandatory fouryear loss of licence for driving under the influence. Sandhiren Sungalee had been seen travelling about 40 km/h - half the speed limit - as he veered his silver station-wagon across lanes on a straight stretch of Princes Highway, Dandenong, about 11.28pm on 6 December. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told last Monday that during his zigzagging crawl, Sungalee stopped
at a green light at the intersection of South Gippsland Highway. Sungalee - who had a zero-alcohol condition on his licence - was unable to blow into a breath-testing machine at the time. A later blood sample recorded an alcohol reading of 0.167 - more than three times the legal limit. The accused told police at the time that he had thought the effects of a “few” earlier drinks would have been “gone” by the time he drove his car. Sungalee raised in court several mitigating arguments included being on medication to deter him from
drinking since 2013, not drinking for the past year – though his offence was last December – being both long and short-sighted and driving his car slowly at the time. Magistrate Gerard Bryant told Sungalee on Monday: “You shouldn’t have had any alcohol at all in your system. “You weren’t even close to double-zero (blood-alcohol). Not within cooee. “That shows a distinct lack of judgement on your behalf.” Sungalee pleaded for a reduction on the mandatory minimum fouryear loss of licence - issued because
of his prior conviction for a .114 reading in 2009. On that occasion, he was off the road for nine months and subsequently lost his job, he told the court. “Your convenience comes second to public safety,” Mr Bryant retorted. “You don’t strike me as someone with a great deal of insight into your drinking or the dangers of drinkdriving.” Sungalee was also fined $1200 and ordered to attend a drink-driving awareness course.

Police hunt after white van gang strikes twice A GANG brandishing metal poles driving a white van has struck twice in 20 minutes in Greater Dandenong. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Glen Cruse said a 20-year-old Noble Park man was walking south along Dunblane Road, Springvale, about 5.10am on Wednesday 15 April when a white van approached. A man of Islander appearance, aged about 20 with a large build and a baseball cap, got out and punched the victim in the face. Sgt Cruse said three other men, of African appearance and aged in their early twenties, also got out of the van and began striking the victim’s head and legs with metal poles. They took his bag and mobile
phone during the attack and fled the scene in the van. Sgt Cruse said the victim suffered minor facial and soft tissue injuries. About 20 minutes later the same van approached a 55-year-old Dandenong woman waiting at bus stop on Stud Road, Dandenong. A man of African appearance aged in his twenties got out of the van, went up to the woman, pulled her handbag from her shoulder and ran back to the van. Sgt Cruse said witnesses provided a partial registration for the van, which police determined had been stolen from outside an address in Heatherton a few days earlier. Officers recovered the vehicle on James Street, Dandenong, on 15 April. Sgt Cruse said there was nothing

Hub goes on as school wait continues By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council is pressing ahead with plans for building a Keysborough South community hub as it waits for the State Government to commit to a co-located primary school. The suburb, which is fast filling with several thousand homes, is served by three private schools but has no secular, state-run primary or secondary facilities within walking distance. Greater Dandenong councillor Matthew Kirwan said new residents - many mortgaged to the hilt couldn’t afford to send their children to private schools and were instead commuting to surrounding suburbs such as Edithvale and Dingley. “They’re desperately looking for a government school option. “They are missing out on that experience of seeing their neighbour’s children at school and hanging out on weekends.” In its 2015-'16 draft budget, Greater Dandenong Council has allocated $3 million towards acquiring land for a sorely-needed community centre. “One of the reasons that the council left the community hub project for a number of years is because

School and Coomoora Secondary College had closed. She cited 2011 census data that around 70 per cent of households were families with children living at home. She said since then there had been “significant development” in the area, including Somerfield estate.
Springvale Benevolent Society president Joe Rechichi said Greater Dandenong charities, which had recently suffered a federal funding loss of “hundreds of thousands of dollars”,
needed all the help they could get. His own charity which has run for 53 years - was bereft after losing all of its $70,000 federal funding.
Mr Doubleday said the charitable fund was still in a preliminary stage of development, with more details available when they were finalised.

residents have petitioned for the State Government to urgently build a long-awaited primary school. Keysborough South Action Group spokeswoman Nina Kelly said there had been massive growth in the suburb over the past few years while state schools such as Maralinga Primary
“People want a local state-based primary school that is within walking distance so children do not have to cross two major roads, each with six lanes of traffic, to attend school every day. “With both my children being under four years of age and most of my neighbours having to drive their children to school, I wanted to improve walking access to public schools in the local community.” She said the State Government had yet to provide funding for acquiring land or construction of the school. An Education Department spokesman recently said there was currently “capacity” in the Keysborough network to “accommodate short-term growth forecasts”. “The department will continue to work with the City of Greater Dandenong and other relevant stakeholders to monitor and plan for government school provision in the area to ensure families have access to high-quality education as the population continues to grow.” The petition for a Keysborough South primary school is available at the council’s customer service centres, maternal and child health centres, and libraries.

be softened by the government’s 50 per cent child care rebate. Chief executive John Bennie said the cuts would impact on many families that were heavily reliant on childcare. Community services director Mark Doubleday said the council intended to keep the service “extremely affordable when compared to other not-for-profit or local government metropolitan family day care schemes”.

FAMILY day care parents in Greater Dandenong are set to be charged nearly triple from July due to a $670,000 federal cut, according to the proposed 2015-'16 Greater Dandenong Council budget. Corporate services director Mick Jaensch said the 22 low-cost services in Greater Dandenong used by 880 children could be in jeopardy if there was a family exodus due to the charges. “We’re still in it but if we can’t
“It’s actually going backwards, it’s not even going up by CPI,” Mr Jaensch said. The family day care service is seen as an affordable alternative to private child care and day care providers. The council, which administers the federally-funded scheme, has increased charges from 42 cents an hour to $1.15 an hour to cover the grant cut. Part of the sting to families will

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… GREATER Dandenong SES volunteers were among those to heed the call for help from New South Wales last week. The two members and about 50 others from Victoria made a five-day trip north on Wednesday to tackle flood the damage. “They’re basically going up with rooftop skills and chainsaw skills and they’ll be assisting with the magnitude of jobs outstanding,” unit spokeswoman Libby Arnold said. “It’s a once in a decade sort of storm, especially for NSW and something you’d more often than not see in a tropical climate.”

LOVE can bloom in the most unlikely places. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday heard the case of a young man booked for speeding at 118km/h in an 80 km/h zone in Springvale. His lawyer told the court his client - who had been licensed for only two and a half months - had at the time become “absentminded” while following a woman behind the wheel of another car. After police intercepted the man, the pursued woman pulled over, offered the accused a lift home - and the rest is history. She loyally sat by as the man was ordered to pay a $300 donation and attend a road-trauma awareness course on top of six demerit points.

Business call for support SUPPORT for Springvale’s most vulnerable will more than halve without help from the business community. That was the warning from Springvale Benevolent Society president Joe Rechichi last week as he appealed for donations to cope with a $70,000 cut in Federal Government funding. “All we need is half a dozen companies to sponsor us a little bit. “We will show the government that we can survive,” he said. In January the Journal reported that the society missed out on Department of Social Services (DSS) funding for the first time in 20 years. “They never gave me a reason for it. Still to this day, I
don’t know why,” Mr Rechichi said. “The last three months have been very sad. We’ve been agonising.” The group has been providing food vouchers, blankets and other assistance to the community for 53 years. Mr Rechichi said committee members at a recent meeting decided to continue running - at 40 per cent strength. “We have 600 clients on our books,” he said. “If we service them every four months, I don’t have to make a decision personally who I’m going to assist and who I’m not.” He’s been directing anyone he can’t help to contact Assistant Social Services Minister Mitch Fifield.
1180433-CA16-15
“As of today, (Social Services Minister) Scott Morrison’s department haven’t sent me a proper succession agent to pass on our clients,” he said. But Mr Fifield said the DSS had encouraged the society to engage with providers in the area that did receive funding, to discuss transition arrangements. “Last year the government undertook a competitive tender for organisations seeking funding under an $800 million DSS grants round,” he said. “The DSS is assisting new and existing providers to ensure that clients are referred to new services where required, and will continue to monitor these arrangements to make sure any service gaps are addressed.” Call Springvale Benevolent Society on 9546 5558 to assist.

Time’s up for parking meters By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong councillor Youhorn Chea is set to introduce a rescission motion to scrap council plans for on-street parking meters in Springvale. Cr Chea said he was opposing the meters at Monday’s council meeting because of traders’ fears that their businesses could be adversely affected. “People who want to go to a similar shopping centre can get free parking at Glen Waverley, Springvale South and Clayton.”
He didn’t agree with arguments that the meters would drive shoppers into the underutilised multi-deck No 8 car park in Balmoral Avenue. “The car park is hard to move in. People don’t want to go there.” Councillor Matthew Kirwan supported the meters to help with flow through on-street parking spots, which can be up to 97 per cent filled at peak times. He agreed with traders’ wishes that parking revenues
should be retained for improving the Springvale business area rather than diverted to the $35 million plus nearby civic precinct redevelopment. Springvale Asian Business Association spokesman Stan Chang warned in last week’s Journal that traders could be “up in arms” over the proposal. Cr Roz Blades said the move could destroy the business district. “You stick a parking meter in somewhere and it takes the heart out of it,” she said. 1163142-LB46-14

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015
Crosses tell tragic tale By NARELLE COULTER
Right: Former Dandenong Primary School student Sergant Oswald Green. Picture: Dandenong and District Historical Society
T
HE 53 former Dandenong Primary School students who served in World War I were remembered when the school’s recently restored honour board was rededicated on Saturday 18 April. The school received a Federal Government grant to restore the historic honour board. Lawrie West of Dandenong business West Award and Print and Seaford restoration expert Barry Rea removed the fragile board from the school’s foyer in February. More than 30 man hours went into bringing the board back to its original glory. After being cleaned and repaired, the board was coated in its original shellac coating and the guild letter repaired before it was waxed and polished. Tragically, 12 names have tiny crosses next to them denoting casualties. Among them was young Oswald Green. Sergeant Green enlisted on 16 February 1917 joining the 21st Battalion. He fought on the Western Front before being wounded at VillersBretonneux in France. He died of his wounds on 4 July 1918. He was 22. His brother Francis was more fortunate surviving the war and returning home to Dandenong in April 1919. Also listed on the board are the names of the three Newsome brothers. William, Frederick and Harry Newsome, all former students, grew up in the family home on Kidds Road. Sergeant William Newsome was wounded in the abdomen at Gallipoli when a shell exploded near him during a battle on 7 August 1915. He was cleared to the Australian General Hospital, Heliopolis, on 13 August

then to the Ras el Tin convalescent home. His wounds seem to have been so bad that he was sent to England in September 1916 to work in a supply depot rather than returned to the front. In a happy conclusion to Sergeant Newsome’s story, he fell in love and married 20-year-old Florence Anger on 14 March 1917 at St Augustine Anglican Church, Fulham, London. The couple returned to Australia aboard the family ship the Bremen, arriving on 25 July 1919.
Fredrick and Harry also survived the war. School captain Montana Owen told the tale of the Newsome brothers in her speech during the re-dedication ceremony. “You may have seen the Anzac Day posters around our school. “These show Australians landing on beaches of Gallipoli on that first day,” Montana said. “Australians from all kinds of back-

grounds served during World War II. “They wore the same uniform and shared the experience of war. “Their story, the Anzac story, is one that unites all Australians, regardless of their background. “There are many ways to honour people who have served in Australia’s armed forces. “We can attend school services, like

URSES were often the unsung heroes of the Gallipoli campaign. Behind the frontlines they patched up wounded soliders and comforted men who were destined to die of their wounds and never to return to loved ones in Australia. More than 3000 Australian civilian nurses volunteered for active service during World War I. One was Milicent Miller.
In July 1915 the Journal reported on a letter Miss Miller sent to friends in Dandenong from the Australian military hospital at Heliopolis, Cairo. The grand Heliopolis Palace Hotel, built in 1910, was used to treat evacuated soliders. Famous pictures of it show a sea of hospital tents erected in the grounds of the hotel. According to Miss Miller, the hospital had space for 1000 beds which made it a huge medical facil-
ity for its time. “Our brave Australian lads are conveyed to hospital after having acquitted themselves in such a glorious manner at Gallipoli in upholding the prestige of the British Empire,” stated the Journal. “Fighting against the best soliders in the world and beating them too. “Their deeds of heroism and dash in attack must make Australians feel proud of their countrymen in arms at war.
“From Nurse Miller’s letter an idea can be formed of the magnitude of the task so cheerfully carried out by the surgeons, nurses, stretcher bearers and all engaged in attending to the wounded men who have been in the firing line. “It is good to read also of the brave manner in which the Australian soldier conducts himself when sticken with his battle wounds.” - Narelle Coulter

Young vet’s convoy north By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

We all have struggled. We all have issues and know what it’s like... SCOTT MAY
Scott May needs sponsors to get behind his campaign for young veterans. 131606 vets, civilians, RSL staff - it’s a mixture of all sorts of people sitting around the campfire talking. “What we’re about is getting the young veterans into the mainstream and the social inclusivity of feeling they have mates. “If you pull on the boots, you’re part of the one club.” The rally will run from the Australian mainland’s southernmost point at Wilsons Promontory to the northernmost tip of Queensland, Cooktown. Their trailers have recently been converted by members of Akoonah Men’s Shed in Berwick.
Plenty of veterans are willing to drive the trucks, and further to tack on behind the convoy. “The potential sponsors are going to have coverage. On the road, we get a lot of attention… a lot are staring at these trucks. “RSL House wants to reach out to these veterans. “They are keen for this to happen.” Scott knows from experience how hard it is to re-adjust to civilian life. He discharged himself from duty suffering from depression and fatigue. On his return to Australia, he felt

separated by a “gulf” from his wife and workmates. He tells of friends who became uncontactable, just “dropped off the grid” to find themselves and too many of them have committed suicide on their return, he said. “We just want to reach out to young guys, for them to seek further assistance. “We all have struggled. “We all have issues and know what it’s like.” As a military history buff, Scott knows “more than most” about the Gallipoli campaign 100 years ago.
He said his view is shaped as a “contemporary veteran” expert in combat in the Middle East. “I don’t think of myself as an Anzac fighting in the trenches of World War I but as a custodian of the Anzac spirit, tradition and history.” The day should focus on Australian veterans’ sacrifices through numerous campaigns and battles beyond Gallipoli, he said. There are oft-forgotten victories such as Australian troops capturing the French village of Villers-Bretonneux in their first successful night attack - which coincided with Anzac Day 1918. He said the day is rightfully “a period of mourning, a reflection for those who didn’t come home”. It shouldn’t be a “day for going out to party”. Anyone who can help or sponsor the Young Veterans rally is urged to email YoungVeterans@rslvic.com.au.

ELF-DESCRIBED “young veteran” Lance-Corporal Scott May’s thoughts went beyond Gallipoli on Anzac Day. The Pakenham physiotherapist spent much of the day pondering his comrades while he was deployed as an Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV) crewman gunner in Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2008. He said a US nurse killed during a mortar attack 100 metres from his ASLAV in Baghdad in 2007 left an “everlasting impression” though they “met for only the briefest of moments”. “On Anzac Day, you do find yourself casting your mind back to things that happened. “There were a couple of incidents in Iraq where people were injured, particularly the American nurse.” He’s also got a wider mission to help and recognise Australia’s returned soldiers - many of whom are under 40. He said many suffer from loneliness caused by the post-trauma stress of war. Scott, his brother Chris and colleague Sven Thomson are seeking a major sponsor for their Young Veterans group which is convening an Anzac centennial convoy of three ex-military Land Rovers across Australia this year. The trucks were bought for $30,000 by Dandenong Cranbourne RSL. Its president John Wells said it was the young veterans’ right to seek help from the RSL. “The important thing about their rally is it includes young veterans, Vietnam

Women torn by war’s pull J By CASEY NEILL
ACQUELINE Dinan knows more than most about the impact of war on the women left behind. The author this month visited Springvale to speak about how mothers, wives, sisters and daughters coped when their men left for the World War I and II battlefields. A Woman’s War, published in 1999, tells the story of a Melbourne family left at home when their twin boys enlisted in the Army in 1915. Ms Dinan said main character Rosie was not alone in her growing apprehension towards Australia’s involvement in war. “Like many mothers, she feels helpless as her sons are swayed by the relentless pull of mateship and are lured by the sense of adventure awaiting them on another continent,” she said. “While yearning for news from them in northern France, Rosie grapples with the changing reality that war is placing on women on the home front. “Women are increasingly the fabric of the community and Rosie shoulders her share of responsibility with grinding work at the factory.” Ms Dinan said the story revealed the tribulations and tragedies generations of women who followed them didn’t talk about. The battle of Pozieres, in France, features in the book and was where the Australian army suffered its

incide with the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII on 15 August. More than 300 women who lived or served in WWII contributed
conversations, photographs and letters about how the conflict forever changed women’s lives and their place in Australian society.
IANT red poppies adorn the lawn at Dandenong Civic Square as a symbol of peace and hope. People from the Greater Dandenong community created the flowers at Poppies for Peace workshops and helped to ‘plant’ them on Tuesday 21 April in time for Anzac Day. They’ll travel across the municipality throughout the year, with the final display coinciding with Remembrance Day on 11 November. The flower featured in World War I poem In Flanders Fields, which described the striking blooms growing over soldiers’ graves in Belgium. Since 1921 it has been used to commemorate soldiers who have died in war.

WE REMEMBER THEM 1915-2015
Steadfast in dedication By CASEY NEILL A SEA of faces representing all corners of the globe was unmoved by the steady stream of rain that fell throughout the Dandenong Anzac Day service on Saturday morning. Concerns about a possible terror attack also failed to dampen the thousands-strong crowd, though reminders were all around them. Police closed Clow Street between Stud Road and Princes Highway, blocking entry from side streets and Dandenong Plaza. Officers in fluorescent yellow vests - bullet proof vests protruding from beneath them - were at every turn, as were many colleagues in plain clothes. But the focus remained on remembering the Australian soldiers who stormed the beaches of Gallipoli in an ill-fated mission exactly 100 years ago. HMAS Cerberus’s Commander John Goss and his wife Commander Janine Goss shared guest speaking duties and told the crowd about the role the Australian Navy played in the landing. “Their legacy is the inspiration which they still give to succeeding generations,” she said. “For a century we have drawn courage from them. “All of us owe the original 1915 Anzacs and those who served after them respect and remembrance.” Sahar Ramazani laid a wreath for the Association of Australian Students from Afghanistan, the first time the Dandenong group had taken part in the service. “I’m an Australian Citizen,” she said. “Today I felt more like an Australian.” Five-year-old Sydney marched alongside her father Sean and grand-
father Jim, a National Serviceman, to honour her great, great, great, great uncle William Henry Powell, who was killed in action in France in 1918. Alister Stanley’s father served in World War II and he proudly wore his medals. Beneath them he pinned a 191420 British War Medal he bought in a second hand store that belonged to a soldier he knows nothing about. “I’m wearing it to honour him,” Mr Stanley said. Charles Edward Leigh enlisted in Dandenong in 1917 and died in France on 31 May 1918. His niece Maryanne Jackson and her husband David travelled from Korumburra to attend the service, clutching his photograph and a scroll commemorating his sacrifice. They’ll reunite with his descendants at Dandenong RSL on the anniversary of his death. Keysborough Turkish Islamic and Cultural Centre president Ekrem Ozyurek presented the RSL with a framed copy of the moving letter former Turkish president Mustafa Kemal Atatürk presented to Australian, New Zealand and British officials in 1934. “Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well,” it reads in part. Earlier in the day, the Dandenong dawn service crowd doubled from last year to about 1500 people. At the commemoration, Dandenong-based mental health service ‘Ermha’ laid a wreath containing felt poppies its Stepping Stones’ program participants made. They also wrote heartfelt messages for service men and women in cards adorned with poppies which will be displayed in the Dandenong RSL.

Missing finally laid to rest By CASEY NEILL
D
ANDENONG North students laughed, cried and sat in stunned silence as Lambis Englezos explained how more than 140 missing Australian soldiers were finally laid to rest. Lyndale Secondary College invited Mr Englezos to speak on 24 April, the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landing at Gallipoli. The art teacher and historian was chiefly responsible for finding 250 Australian and British soldiers buried in a mass grave near Fromelles, in northern France in 2007. The missing men were close to where they had fallen during one of the bloodiest battles of World War I on 19 July 1916. The soldiers’ remains had been lost to history before Mr Englezos went looking for them after meeting several of their descendants. He enlisted a teacher to read out a letter he received from a heartbroken mother, desperate to find her son and begging for help. It brought many in the audience to tears. “I felt like I knew those men and we had to recover them,” he said. “We had to recover our war dead
Martina and Zoey, both 14, with Lambis Englezos. 138136 and give them their dignity.” The soldiers received a funeral at a new military cemetery at Pheasant
Wood, France, in 2010 - 94 years to the day after the Battle of Fromelles. “It was the culmination that after-
noon when families could go in and make a pilgrimage. The families made their connection.”
He told the room filled with 150 year 8 and 9 students that the mother who’d written the letter passed away before learning her son’s fate. Another lived just long enough to learn her son had been found and that her DNA sample had confirmed his identity. Zoey, 14, said the presentation had changed her. “It made me feel different. It’s a feeling I’ve never had before,” she said. “I found it pretty amazing. It makes me think more about how they all felt. “Young kids forged their parents’ signatures just to participate.” Martina, 14, said thinking about the missing soldiers broke her heart. “I’ve always had a lot of respect for all the soldiers and I’ve always wanted to know about all the soldiers who’ve passed away,” she said. “It felt good learning more information about it.” Martina said she would like to ask them questions, to find out exactly how they felt. “We can only assume what they felt in those dark moments with the dark skies,” she said. “It intrigues you.”

ORE than 250 school children converged on Noble Park RSL last week to pay tribute to the Anzacs. Sub-branch president John Meehan said the service on Wednesday 22 April focused on World War I and the 100th anniversary of Australia’s landing at Gallipoli. “It was all about the kids. I was just so proud of them that they showed so much interest in the different things they were saying,” he said. “We got the message across to the kids about the 100-year anniversary. “Some of the men who went away to the war were not much older than the kids.” Mr Meehan said the children represented 11 schools from the area. “Their mouths were open at some of the things we were saying. You could see that they were really listening. “The information that we gave to these kids I’m sure they’ll remember from now on. “They were asking such beautiful questions and seemed so interested. “They presented us with a beautiful plaque that is now on the wall in our foyer.”
Colin Robinson from the Victorian Re-Enactment Society. 137466
He wants them to remember the 60,000 Australian soldiers, sailors and airman who didn’t come home from the WWI battlefields. “Soldiers have gone off to more wars since then,” he said. “We want to remember the kids that are still over in Afghanistan now.” Students also viewed a Vietnam War education team display. Men dressed in original WWI uniforms led horses during the service to represent the mounted troops of the Australian Light Horse. “A lot of them had been with their horses for four years,” Mr Meehan said. “The horses that had saved their lives, they had to leave them in the desert.” Mr Meehan and his RSL comrades also visited nursing homes last week to conduct commemorative services. He urged them to watch the Melbourne march on television on Anzac Day. “The World War I and II blokes, we saw them marching when we were young,” he said. “We will be limping our way up St Kilda Road as well, following in the footsteps of those beautiful men.”

MOTHER’S DAY
Cast cast for future growth
Sweet treat for mum
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS NISSAN Casting Australia’s “quietly flourishing” future in Dandenong South has been assured beyond 2020. Nissan Australia chief executive Richard Emery, in a visit to the plant last week, said it was running “close to capacity” - three shifts a day, up to seven days a week - to satisfy a global appetite for its die-cast parts. Last year the factory exported more than two million parts,
and was set to add 30 workers to its 160-strong stafflist. “Some people think automotive manufacturing in Australia is dead,” Mr Emery said. “I can tell you it’s alive and well here at Nissan Australia.” The company’s confidence was demonstrated by installing a $2.1 million high-efficienty tower furnace at the plant in 2013 - with the help of a $600,000 federal grant. The tower produced
$252,000 annual energy savings and will cut 50 kilo-tonnes in carbon emissions during its working life. Isaacs Federal MP Mark Dreyfus, in a joint statement with Shadow Industry Minister Kim Carr, said the announcement was a “huge vote of confidence” in the skills and expertise in Australia’s auto industry. “These automotive jobs, skills and capabilities are what we must now strive to retain.”
IN just two weeks, mums across Australia will be waking up to breakfasts in bed, gifts, special handwritten cards and lots of cuddles. A home-cooked meal, dessert or treat to have with a cup of tea will make mum’s day even more special. The Dairy Kitchen’s Mother’s Day recipe collection is bursting with yummy baked goods, perfect for an afternoon reminiscing over a pot of tea. Lemon and earl grey shortbread teabags are a creative and fun way to surprise mum on Sunday 10 May. Ingredients 125g butter, cubed and softened 1/2 cup caster sugar Finely grated rind of 1 lemon 1 1/2 cups plain flour 2 teaspoons earl grey tea leaves 1 cup icing sugar 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind, extra 2 teaspoons lemon juice 2 teaspoons water Decorative paper and fine string, to decorate Method 1. Beat the butter, sugar and rind with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the flour and tea leaves and mix until it comes together. Turn out onto a floured surface and lightly knead into a ball. Split the dough into two balls. 2. Roll each ball of dough out between two sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Using a small sharp knife cut dough into small teabag shapes. Using a spatula, carefully lift biscuits onto a lined oven tray. Using a skewer poke a small hole into the top of each teabag for the string. Bake at 160 deg C for 12-15 minutes or until a light golden colour. Cool on a wire rack. 3. Combine icing sugar, lemon rind and juice and water until smooth. Dip half of each cookie into icing and place on a wire rack to set.
Marmara will move into this site over the next few months.
Butcher set for new joint By CASEY NEILL A HALAL butcher is set to spend the next decade in central Dandenong. Marmara Halal Meats has leased the 141-145 Lonsdale Street site for 10 years with the option of a further 10 years. It will refurbish the former IGA supermarket and open its doors in the coming months. The butcher has traded for almost 20 years, most recently at Dandenong Market, and also offers grocery and other
supermarket product lines. Commercial real estate agents Fitzroys executive Adam Lester negotiated the deal and said the long lease showed growing confidence in Dandenong’s retailing from local and national businesses. Fitzroys acted for the City of Dandenong in leasing the retail space at the Dandenong Civic Square, where three shops are still available. Mr Lester said the city was also consolidating its position as a food hub.
Lemon and earl grey shortbread teabags are pretty, thoughtful and yummy. 4. Cut small squares out of decorative paper and glue onto strings. Thread each string onto a cookie and tie to secure. To find more Dairy Kitchen mother’s day recipes visit: www.legendairy.com.au/recipes

“The Afghan and Indian traders in secondary retail strips such as Thomas Street are now generating business from well beyond Dandenong’s traditional retail catchment,” he said. “This new retailing is focused on shops with street frontage and exposure rather than in undercover shopping centre locations, and is quickly growing Dandenong’s reputation for high quality food offerings through a variety of cuisines.”
Forum to help build Jobs make China sister city ties connection A JOB seeker service will itself generate 14 new jobs in Dandenong and Springvale. New Job Services Australia program Jobactive was successful in a Department of Employment tender process for employment services. Its five-year contract will officially start on 1 July and will result in 19 new locations across Victoria, including Dandenong and Springvale. The employment services provider is a division of not for profit education, employment and youth services organisation SYC. Job Prospects last year helped more than 36,000 people to find work and thousands of employers to find the right people for their businesses.

CHINESE business leaders visited Dandenong last week to meet their counterparts from Greater Dandenong and beyond. The delegates travelled from the Tongshan District government within Greater Dandenong’s sister city Xuzhou. Greater Dandenong business group mananger Paul Kearsley said representatives from textile, food and construction companies also attended the 20 April discussions. “We held a business forum where local and regional businesses with a focus on food and food processing presented their products and provided information on what they produce,” he said. Local companies in attendance included AgriBusiness Gippsland, Vizzarri Farms and Delica Global, Corex, Darnum Park Estate, Waterwheel, Hellay Australia, Golden Fields Nutrition Australia and Nutrition Care. They were involved in growing asparagus and other vegetables, olive oil products, biscuits, baby formula and similar products, plastic packaging, muesli and cereals, vitamins and health care products. The visit was part of broader council efforts to facilitate business between the cities.

If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.” - Pablo Picasso. “Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.” - Oprah Winfrey. “A mother’s arms are more comforting than anyone else’s.” - Diana, Princess of Wales. “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.” - W.

Star destroyed by war
Sergeant John Walker By JARROD POTTER WALKER had an off day.”
“J
No one would have though at the Berwick Shire News this innocuous jab at an up-andcoming talent would be the last football report written about Dandenong’s John ‘Jack’ Walker, who died in service during World War I. Those six, simple words – which summed up the Dandenong forward’s Berwick and District Football Association grand final performance in 1914 – were not a strong showing for the man who had excelled at the Dandenong Showgrounds in 1913 and 1914. Usually highlighted in each week’s edition of the South Bourke and Mornington Journal (a predecessor of the Dandenong Journal), most supporters, coaches and players would have expected the strapping, Brighton-born man to return from the front and continue on as a league footballer or lawyer. But such was the extent of the Great War – which claimed brave men from either side indiscriminately – that “one of the bright stars in the constellation of Dandenong footballers” flickered and faded away in 1916. 1914’s showpiece match – the ‘challenge’ grand final between Dandenong and Pakenham - was not a fitting end to Walker’s football journey, but sadly for all gathered, it would be the last time they saw Jack Walker on a football field. Pakenham defeated the powerful Dandenong line-up twice – first in the second semi-final, then again in the grand final as Walker’s men fell by four points in a nail-biting finale. Walker had joined Dandenong after he tried his hand at league football three years earlier – heading down to the Junc-

tion Oval to join up with St Kilda for a bid at some early league fame. From his four matches for the red, white and black brigade – Walker kicked a goal apiece against Geelong and Fitzroy respectively in 1911, but his time in league football was short. He moved to Dandenong to take up with the Redlegs and also pursue his law studies - but with a superb kick, and the chance of returning to the city to take up a law practice, who knows what could have been in Walker’s football career had war not intervened. He was also a champion cricketer – as so many grand footballers of the time were –leading the batting averages for the East Melbourne Cricket Club in 1912-’13. At the Dandenong Football Club’s 1914 annual meeting, Walker was acknowledged alongside his other enlisting team-mates – with 15 swapping their Dandenong strip for Australian service uniforms. His mastery of the pen was almost as skilful as his moves on the football field as the budding law student captivated his family and friends – and subsequently the wider community – with his letters from the front. He eulogised lost team-mates in a letter published in the Journal on 26 August 1915, when faced with the grief of losing his football field and battlefield brethren – well-loved Dandenong siblings, the Couve brothers. “Those who faced the task in the beginning, and were killed, did their duty and died like men. Even I, who am not a military expert, can vouch for that,” Walker wrote.
Walker rose to the rank of Sergeant and advanced as an infantryman in the 8th Battalion through Gallipoli and Western Europe. His biggest, and most notable correspondence, was printed in the Journal in October 1915 where he described how he and other Dandenong area soldiers were faring at Gaba Tepe - as part of Anzac Cove at Gallipoli and the joy of reading about home. “I received a bundle of three or four ‘Journals’ last week and passed them on to Jim Kennedy, etc. They all look forward to Dandenong papers and are very glad to receive them,” Walker said. “I am glad to hear that lots of Dandenong men have enlisted since the great recruiting campaign and, of course, there are plenty on their way here, but I hope we’ll finish off the Turk before they get here, and meet the last lot on our way back.” After withdrawing from the failed task in Turkey, just before Christmas 1915, another half-year was all Walker, like so many Australian men, had left on Earth. He perished in Pozieres in July 1916 – a campaign of immense scale and equal parts tragedy at the Somme on the Western Front. The last letter received about Jack Walker was sadly addressed to his father – Mr William Henry Walker – stating his son had made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. “Walker – who was educated at the Melbourne Grammar School, was a first class athlete, having played pennant cricket with the East Melbourne team,
and league football with St Kilda,” The Journal report read. “During his residence in Dandenong, he was a prominent member of the local cricket and football teams and was a general favourite with all sections of the community.“ “Sgt Walker served at Gallipoli and afterwards France.” His memory was honoured by the
footballers – who all wished he could be there to rove the packs and snap impressive goals – as “the locals wore armbands out of respect for the late Sergeant Jack Walker,” reported by the Journal in September 1916. He was one of 92 VFL (now AFL) players who gave their lives in World War I, honoured around the grounds on Saturday.
Hills prodigy’s thrill of back-to-back accolades By JARROD POTTER IT’S BEEN an amazing week for footballer Ellie Blackburn with the Endeavour Hills prodigy picking up two prized accolades back-to-back. Blackburn, 20, was delisted by her beloved Melbourne ahead of this year’s AFL Women’s Draft, with key position players prioritised over the skilful midfielder/forward. Blackburn didn’t have to wait long to re-join the AFL ranks, though, as she was taken at pick six in the 2014 Women’s AFL Draft, held on Monday night. Blackburn was taken again by Melbourne - after featuring for the Demons in both Women’s AFL matches since her debut in 2013 - coming on the back of her best match yet on the AFL stage. Snaring 27 touches and in the Demons’ 46-point belting of the Bulldogs last year,
Blackburn was the top possession-getter on the field and was considered dreadfully unlucky to be delisted by the Demons. She was thrilled to get back into the AFL and thought the chance to feature in two matches this season, with the first held at the MCG on Sunday 24 May and the second clash on 16 August at Etihad Stadium, dramatically boost the profile of women’s football in Australia. “I’m very excited about it - been a big couple of days for us out at Melbourne Uni with the draft and the win on Sunday,” Blackburn said. “I was pretty shocked to go that high up, but I was sitting there and I was relieved in the end - sitting there and hearing my name called out was a big sigh of relief, and excited to be part of Melbourne again. “It’s really good that we get the opportunity to play on
both of the big grounds and, hopefully, show our talent and get away with the win.” The Women’s AFL matches will serve as curtain-raisers before Melbourne/Western Bulldogs AFL fixtures. Capping off the successful week was a thrilling 19-point win over reigning champions Darebin in the Victorian Women’s Football League. “It was an amazing feeling to knock off the unbeatables,” Blackburn said. “It pretty much felt like we won a grand final - the first time our club has beaten Darebin since 2006. “I think the game we played was just a hard game overall and there were a couple of times they could have got on top of us and we worked pretty hard not to let it happen.” Ellie thanked her parents and Melbourne Uni Football Club for their support.

SPORT EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 1 - Round 3
Done deal… By JARROD POTTER THIS was not a battle, nor was it a skirmish, charge, raid or siege. We celebrate the grandeur of football in these terms, as hard bodies fly off each other in pursuit of the red leather, but all Noble Park and Norwood did was square off in a game of football, no more, no less. Australia-wide, we stopped as a nation Saturday to celebrate the bigger picture. We highlight and celebrate the stellar achievements of men and women who squared off against far greater enemies in the real battles on the fronts of war. Before a season-defining matchup, Norwood and Noble Park put aside their burgeoning rivalry - even if only for a brief moment - to honour our Anzac forefathers and foremothers. After the solemn, dignified respect was paid, the scene was set for what may be a finals’ preview between two powerhouse EFL squads. Kyle Martin was emphatic in the first quarter, booting five goals at full forward to leave the reigning premiers Norwood scratching its head on how to stop him. As it turns out though, Noble Park was pretty effective at stopping its own run-and-carry, as entries to the forward half were sloppy and resulted in countless turnovers. Norwood on the other hand kept it simple - two kicks from defence to hit up the tall forwards. It was a winning tactic as Leigh Williams and Brent English (five goals each) proved superb in the Wooders’ forward arc. Not even the resolute defending of Stewart Kemperman, Jarrod Plymin and Trent Robertson could halt the Wooders’ march as the Bulls’ efforts soon fell apart. A two-goal lead at the final break
was erased effortlessly as the Wooders flew through to kick four goals in four minutes and storm home to a 20-point victory. Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty said recruiting his fantastic squad didn’t make the Bulls a done-deal in the premiership race and it showed on Saturday there’s still plenty left to tick off. “Full credit to Norwood, they were just too good for us in that last quarter,” Fogarty said. “Today was a really good test and I’m actually pretty happy about the way we performed against last year’s premiers. “People seem to think that just because Noble Park has got back Martin, Valenti, Harper… we’ve got Ziggy Alwan and big Vergim Faik… they seem to think that’s a done deal now… we’re good enough to play off for a premiership. “But the realistic thing is that we have a lot of hard work to do - we expect to have a good year, but it’s an insult to the other good sides that made finals and Norwood won a grand final last year.” Fogarty summed up the occasion best of all, as the ability to live peacefully and play sport is a gift passed down to current Australians from our hard-fighting brethren of past and present wars. “Fantastic day and we’re lucky to be able to play on this day because of them (Anzacs),” Fogarty said. “So if it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t be here, so we’re grateful for what they did for our country.” Noble Park hosts Knox this weekend for a chance to bounce back to the top spot in EFL Division 1.

Stingrays revel in northern heat FLYING out with an ANZAC Day victory in tow, Dandenong Stingrays made the most of their trip to Queensland beating the northerners 10.9 (69) to 7.13 (55). Getting a chance to feature on ANZAC Day - a rare occasion in TAC Cup football - the Stingrays made the most of their time on the big stage in a fast-paced opening term.
kicking that proved its downfall. The sunshine state had 20 shots on goal, but it wasn’t enough to take the triumph against Dandenong’s more efficient 19 forward forays. James Freeman (two goals) hit the scoreboard squarely for the Stingrays as Dandenong booted three in the final term to take the points and return home triumphant after another successful interstate sojourn. Jacob Weitering, Bailey Rice,
Brandon White and Tom Jok all featured in the best alongside Young while up-and-coming ruckman Jayden Bubb had his best match in the Stingrays’ colours. The only downside to the victory was a nasty knee-injury to Liam Myatt - who has a suspected ACL tear and could miss the rest of the season. Dandenong faces NSW/ACT next week at Shepley Oval from 11am.

THE move to SFL is paying off handsomely for Keysborough, with its 15-point win over Hampton rocketing the Burra to the top of Division 2. In tough conditions at Rowley Allan Reserve, the Burra held their nerve to hunt down the visitors, who took a nine-point lead at the half. Only three-behinds flew through the sticks in a rough-and-tumble last term, but Keysborough was able to hold its lead to post its third win in as many SFL matches. Tyson King (five goals), Geoff Humphreys and Cameron Dalton were best afield as Keysborough now heads to Caulfield on Saturday in a first-versus-third showdown. Springvale Districts’ slow start bit them on the behind once again as Heatherton flew out of the blocks to inflict a 19-point loss. If only some of their six first-quarter behinds were converted into goals then the Demons would have stood a chance, but giving a 25-point margin by quarter-time rarely bodes well for a side. Despite chasing all match, Districts continued to fight as James Gough (three goals), Peter Heng (two goals) and Brad Dight shone brightest for the visitors. The Demons’ wayward kicking would prove lethal in the end as Heatherton maximised its scoring chances. Doveton Eagles falls to last place in Division 2 following a 69-point hammering by Skye.

LOSSES as far as the eye can see greeted Dandenong-area SFL Division 3 teams on Saturday as Lyndale, Dandenong, Endeavour Hills and Sandown were all vanquished in the rain. Sandown, 4.9 (33), could have used next week’s star recruit - Brendan Fevola - this week as it could not kick a winning tally against Ashwood 14.10 (94). The Cobras will open their change rooms and new-look pavilion on Saturday and face Lyndale with the former AFL super-boot ready to kick a bag at Edinburgh Reserve. Endeavour Hills tasted its first loss in 2015 as Carrum Patterson Lakes took a 39-point triumph. The Falcons were led by Shane Peake (five goals) while Shannon Rainey and Nathan Strom also excelled. Lyndale failed to impress in its 42-point loss to Mount Waverley, despite Brett Tosh and Trent Isbister working hard across the field. Dandenong suffered a 49-point defeat at the hands of South Yarra, plummeting the Redlegs to dead last in Division 3.
VAFA DIVISION 2- Round 3 STORMING home to mount its case for a VAFA premiership, St John’s brushed aside South Melbourne Districts in a 171-point demolition. From the first bounce the JOCs were in control and it only got worse from there for the Swans as Ben McGee’s men ran circles around the visitors. A nine-goal second term - led by Aaron Thornton (seven goals), Kane Arnold (six goals) and Rohan Scott (five goals) spelled the end for South Melbourne Districts before the pain was amplified even further. The only downside for St John’s - despite the ebullient win - was its kicking conversion as 25 behinds remains far too many for a side with premiership aspirations. Skipper Glenn Costas - with a casual four goals to his name as well - was best afield while Scott and Liam O’Connor also featured prominently. Sitting second with three wins and a healthy percentage of 247.02, St John’s faces Elsternwick away on Saturday.

Pirates singing up a storm
Twice as Dandy By JARROD POTTER
Parkmore Pirates celebrate a hard-fought victory in its South East Juniors Youth Girls Pictures: JARROD POTTER debut. 137847
THE only thing Parkmore Pirates Youth Girls football team really need to work on… is the club song. The Royal Blues were sensational in their South East Juniors Youth Girls debut last week - an amazing feat considering they were short on numbers and only a handful of their squad had ever played football before. On a freezing Saturday morning at Fountain Gate’s Max Pawsey Reserve, the Pirates exceeded all expectations as they ran up the scoreboard and got to belt out the club song for the first time after a 58-point win over Tooradin-Dalmore. A five-goal opening term set the tempo for the Pirates as the hail, driving rain and
gale-force winds buffeted the south-east. April Lega-Frost showed she’s a natural at the code, slotting six goals on debut, while Charis Ulu Peniata was prominent in a free-flowing midfield role. While the girls didn’t know all the words to their theme song, the Pirates still savoured the impressive 11.4 (70) to 2.0 (12) triumph. With few experienced players, coach Michael Sheahan was extremely impressed with his fledgling football side and the way they’ve taken to the sport. “We’ve only got three that have played before and one of them isn’t playing today, so we’re very pleased with what they’ve done,” Sheahan said. With a pair of Vic Metro
reps out of the side and star Stingray Karina Diaz sidelined, chances are the Pirates are set to soar even further in its first South East Juniors campaign. The side only has 15 girls in the squad so plenty of opportunities exist for young ladies aged 13 to 18 to play female football. Sheahan encouraged anyone in the Greater Dandenong area who was interested in football to come along to the Parkmore Pirates. “Come down - give it a go - we’re here for fun and we’re a club that just wants to give people a go,” Sheahan said. More information on Parkmore’s Youth Girls team is available on the club’s website - www.parkmorejfc.com.au Parkmore Pirates next face Officer on Sunday morning.
BIG V Division 2 - Round 6 FLEXING its muscles in BIG V Division 2, Keysborough cantered home to an 85-56 win over newcomers Collingwood. Going easy on the new boys - despite the 29-point score line disparity - Keysborough coach Nathan Vogt rotated his bench and gave his starters well-earned rests... but not before dominating on the scoreboard. Best of the brigade were Andrew Pattison (17 points, 9 rebounds) and David Smith (12 points, 7 rebounds) while Malcolm Heard (9 points, 5 rebounds) was powerful in his very limited time
FERNANDO Bale blitzed his rivals for the second consecutive week at Sandown Park on Thursday evening and will start as the short favourite in this week’s Group 3 Bill Collins Memorial. In typical Fernando Bale fashion, he exploded from box 5 to set an electric 4.93 to the first split before he stopping the clock at an astonishing 18.36 to the second marker - breaking the record jointly held by champions Black Magic Opal and Xylia Allen - by 2.5 lengths. He completed the 515m journey in 29.04, the third fastest time ever recorded at Sandown Park. RSN racecaller James Van de Maat was effusive in his praise of Fernando Bale.
“I’ve never seen a greyhound travel that quick in the six years I’ve been calling greyhound racing,” Van de Maat said. Van de Maat, who called Bekim Bale’s track record 28.96 run in 2011 believes Fernando Bale’s run on Thursday was more impressive. Fernando Bale’s next assignment will be next week’s Bill Collins Memorial which is shaping to be one of the great races of modern times with the possibility of superstars Dyna Villa, Dyna Double One and My Bro Fabio all featuring in the $36,000 Group 3 event. “This race has the potential to be better than any Melbourne or Australian Cup ran in recent times, however I still think there’s no greyhound in the country that can match it with Fernando Bale,” Van
on court. Even the big Oyster, Robert Ostojic (4 points) got minutes in Keysborough’s rampaging victory. Keysborough’s women were downed 51-78 by Blackburn as Emily Rider (10 points, 11 rebounds) dropped her first double-double in the Cougars’ colours. Keysborough men and women face Mornington this weekend away from 6pm.

THE traditional ANZAC Day SEABL blockbuster between Dandenong and Frankston showed with a double-Dandy triumph. Fighting their way back into the clash, the Dandenong men stole the match from under Frankston’s nose with a 44-28 second half fight back to register a five-point victory. Leading the charge was Chris Patton (21 points, 10 rebounds) as he excelled in his best match to date in the Dandenong strip. Also on fire were Daequon Montreal (17 points, 10 rebounds) and the rebounding machine known as Lucas Walker (8 points, 17 rebounds). Dandenong men face Mt Gambier at home from 7pm Saturday. Pushing aside the Frankston fortress first were the Dandenong women, who claimed a 70-66 triumph. Jacinta Kennedy (22 points, 10 rebounds) flew out of the blocks for the women in the first match of the double-card, but was reeled in by a groupdefensive effort from Frankston. It only opened up the Rangers’ other avenues to the basket as Amelia Todhunter (13 points) and Tenaya Phillips (10 points) lit it up. Dandenong women head to Canberra on Saturday to face Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence.

MOTORING
True to the classic spirit By DEREK OGDEN AH, those Italians. Back in 1923, race driver Ugo Sivocci slapped a green four-leaf clover on his ‘RL’ and drove it to victory in the first of Alfa Romeo’s 10 Targa Florio wins. Since then, the ‘Quadrifoglio Verde’ has been the symbol of Alfa Romeo racing cars and later graced special road-going series. Latest to take on the lucky charm is the Giulietta, marking the return of the pure Italian hot hatch. The QV tops off an already refreshed Giulietta range that, with its not-to-be ignored styling, including all-new interiors, an exterior facelift and award-winning powertrains, brings unique Italian style and sophistication to the segment. Available in three trim levels - Progression, Distinctive and the Quadrifoglio Verde hot hatch - from $29,000, plus on-road costs, it is the last that concerns us here. The Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde is equipped with a new engine and is available with twin-clutch transmission and launch control. Alternatively, it can be had with a six-speed manual gearbox. Alfa Romeo has also brought out a Launch Edition model, which enhances the sports car looks of the standard Quadrifoglio Verde TCT by adding carbon-fibre mirror covers, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and a sports body kit which comprises distinctive new side skirts, a front air dam and a rear diffuser. Com-
bined with the new gloss black exterior highlights, the Giulietta QV Launch Edition is the ultimate Giulietta. Just 500 examples will be built globally with 50, including the test vehicle, coming to Australia priced from $45,000, plus on-roads. The allocation consists of 25 units in Alfa Red and 25 in Launch Editionexclusive Matte Magnesio Grey. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio exhibits a more planted stance than its siblings, while the legendary four-leaf clover emblem on the front wings, and dark-tinted rear window glass put the onlooker in no doubt as to the hatchback’s intent. The car’s aggressive look is completed by two large exhaust tailpipes and 18-inch traditional Alfa turbinestyle alloy wheels, which refuse to hide the red, four-piston Brembo brake calipers and large 320mm brake discs. Inside the cabin, quality materials and tasteful detail represent the ultimate in Italian style. New wraparound sport seats, trimmed in leather and Alcantara with white and green stitching, offer firm yet comfortable security during the car’s showcasing its impressive performance. The new leather wrapped flat-bottom sports steering wheel is trimmed in contrasting white stitching, enabling the driver to maintain a firm controlling grip, while also operating the spoke-mounted infotainment controls.

A model-specific instrument panel is a mix of analogue and digital, and sports a built-in QV logo. Signature QV kick-plates, darkened headlining with retractable sunshade over the sunroof, unique floor mats and a leather-trimmed gear lever and parking brake lever, with white and green contrast stitching, complete the interior décor. A new Uconnect multimedia system incorporates a 6.5-inch touchscreen in the central dashboard and comes complete with Bluetooth interface, Aux-in connector, USB port and the option of voice commands. The 6.5-inch device also has a satellite navigation system with progressive route guidance and ’One Step Voice Entry Destination’ function for enter-
ing addresses with voice commands, developed in collaboration with Harman and Here Auto. The Giulietta QV engine has been plucked from the Alfa Romeo 4C supercar, boasting cutting-edge technology including direct fuel injection, dual continuous variable valve timing, a turbocharger and a revolutionary scavenging control system which rules out turbo lag. Mated with a twin-clutch transmission, the 1750 Turbo Petrol aluminium-block engine delivers 177 kW at 5750 rpm and 340 Nm at 2000 rpm, the latter stable in the 2000-4000 rpm range, but is already 80 per cent on hand at just 1800 rpm. TCT works in either all-automatic or sequential mode via the centre console-positioned gearshift, or steering-

wheel mounted paddles. The QV is also available with a six-speed manual transmission capable of generating 173 kW and 340 Nm. The whole Giulietta range earned a five-star rating in crash tests, scoring 97 per cent for adult passenger protection. The oversized braking system, ventilated discs all round with red callipers, by Brembo, pulls up the hatch assuredly, and unlike some rivals, smoothly with no grabbing at any point. An extra-special feature of the TCT Verde is the new Launch Control system, first employed on the Alfa 4C supercar. It is activated by pressing the brake and accelerator pedals flat to the floor, squeezing the down-shift paddle on the steering wheel and then releasing the brakes.
