■ Volunteers take to the road to help asylum seekers...

Loaded with care By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1170560-ACM06-15

PUBLICITY-SHY but unquestionably generous, Elaine Smith is a major reason for Friends of Refugees acquiring a desperately needed truck. The Dandenong-based group had set a $30,000 crowdfunding target to buy a new truck to pick up and deliver donated furniture, whitegoods, food and other essentials for the region’s vast number of asylum seeker families. Still short of the target, the plan was salvaged by Ms Smith who pitched in the $30,000 herself. Her only regret was that she didn’t donate the money sooner. It has left the volunteer group with a healthy near-$25,000 surplus to cover the truck’s running costs. Ms Smith wanted to keep her donation quiet but was convinced by Friends of Refugees chief executive Sri Samy to help “inspire others”. The benefactor sets a cracking example - a project manager for Victorian Immigrant and Refugee Women’s Coalition, founder for Women’s Friendship Cafe in Hampton Park as well as a foster-mum to unaccompanied minors. Her philosophy is that she simply wants to help where there was greatest need. “At first I thought I could do nothing. Then I watched other people I could relate to and I saw they were doing it.” In 2008 she and husband Jeff moved from the beautiful coastal town of Lauriton in NSW to specifically help in Australia’s biggest refugee hotspot - south-east Melbourne. More than 2600 asylum seekers on bridging visas live in Dandenong and surrounding suburbs. Ms Smith, a retired pharmacist, said she didn’t mind contributing a little of her superannuation, though her like-minded husband often prods her to give more.

Sri Samy, Elaine Smith and volunteer Melissa Grenville load the new Friends of Refugees truck. 139395 “It seems unbelievable that Australia doesn’t protect refugees, doesn’t welcome them and then tries to make their life as hard as possible. “It’s not the Australia I know so it’s up to us as individuals to do as much as possible.” Over the past two years - hindered by a fuel-guzzling and unreliable truck, Friends of Refugees has delivered

goods to about 850 Melbourne asylum seeker families somehow living on less than the dole. One recent example was a family which was begging for financial help on Facebook because they had their Centrelink benefits removed while waiting to appeal against a failed claim for asylum.

“That’s the whole idea,” Ms Samy said. “The government wants to break people financially, physically and emotionally.” Without government funding, Friends of Refugees relies on volunteers and donors such as a Carey Grammar parent who donated a box

Anti-Islamic State project hits back By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A ‘HACKATHON’ project will be set up in Melbourne’s south-east to help deter young Muslims from violent extremism. The area has been identified as a hotspot for action after radicalised teenager Numan Haider was shot dead by police outside Endeavour Hills Police Station and fellow Lyndale Secondary College student Irfaan Hussein Hussein was reportedly killed in Syria fighting for Islamic State. The MYHACK hackathon is the brainchild of anti-terrorism academic Dr Anne Aly and is backed by La Trobe federal MP Jason Wood. It will challenge teams of young people of Muslim and non-Muslim backgrounds to come up with solutions to stop youths being lured into Daesh, otherwise called Islamic State. Mr Wood has called for more action on the issue of radicalised youth

from Islamic community leaders. “By all account leaders of Islamic communities in Australia are doing their best to discourage this kind of involvement, but much like how people also argue that it’s a parents’ responsibility to guide their children away from drugs, sometimes things happen right under their noses which they’re unaware of.” He said he liked the MYHACK “concept of youth being the agents of change for their own generation”. “The great aspect of this program is that the young people come up with practical solutions - particularly when it comes to online solutions which is the space that Daesh primarily use to recruit our youth. “At least four ideas will come out of it which will then be turned in to practical measures,” he said. Islamic Council of Victoria secretary Seyfi Seyit, who teaches at a south-east Islamic school, said he needed to find out more about the

“ambitious” hackathon. “I’m sceptical about those types of ideas. It’s crucial it has the right framework, otherwise it’s just an experiment without sustainability.” He said the “real solution” lay in strengthening social cohesion. Mr Seyit said many young Muslims felt “this society doesn’t really accept them”; of them a tiny minority” were being radicalised. He said factors included mental health, family breakdown, unease with the Syrian conflict, rising Islamophobia and the IS propaganda machine spruiking a message of ‘you must kill these people or you’re a copout’. He labelled the IS online campaign as “very clever marketing” and “very effective for a small percentage of young impressionable people”. “Some of these young people think it’s cool to be keyboard warriors.

“It’s a chance for them to vent their anger. “Face to face, they are shy and unable to express themselves. Behind a keyboard they get into arguments - it’s a feeling of empowerment, a type of euphoria.” He said the Muslim community needed to take leadership to support their youth. “If we don’t, we’ve failed them.” He admitted the issue was “overwhelming” and required Islamic Council and State Government guidance and finding the “right people” in the community to tackle the issue. “As a community, they don’t know where to start. “Most of the community are fairly average. We don’t have sophisticated skills working in the community in this way, skills in radicalisation and strategic planning. “They’re overwhelmed, these young people are popping out of the blue.”

Islander gang TWO incidents in which teenage boys had their mobile phones stolen by a group of five or six Islander men are believed to be linked. The first of the robberies, which occurred within half an hour of each other, took place around 9pm on Saturday 16 May after a 13-year-old from Keysborough left a house party in Dandenong North with a group of people he’d befriended that night. The victim was walking with the five or so others along Gladstone Road when the group threatened him and took his phone. The second incident occurred about 9.30pm when a 16-year-old from Dandenong was confronted by five men who demanded his phone as he walked along Watson Street in Dandenong North. The victim handed over his mobile but was punched in the face by one of the men.

Women rob woman A WOMAN has been robbed and forced to the ground while she was walking through Dandenong in the middle of the day. The 24-year-old was walking along Cheltenham Road about 10.30am on Thursday 14 May when she was approached by four women, all Islander in appearance. The women asked the victim for the time and then tried to take her handbag, before pushing her to the ground and fleeing with bank cards and $470 in cash. Police have urged witnesses to come forward.

A MAN has been punched and kicked and had his phone stolen in a brutal robbery in Springvale. The 19-year-old victim, from Clayton, was walking along Osborne Avenue around 11.30pm when he was approached by two men near the Springvale RSL who demanded his phone. One of the men grabbed the victim’s mobile while the other punched him in the head. The victim was then kicked by both men as he fell to the ground, suffering cuts to his face.

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 THE INFLUENTIAL WEDGE FAMILY WHICH HELPED TO FOUND VICTORIA.

Family arrives with state’s first founders

Edward Davey Wedge.

THE Wedge family has not one but two streets named in its honour - Wedge Street in Dandenong and Wedge Road in Carrum Downs. The first Wedges arrived in the fledgling colony of Australia in 1824. Edward Davey Wedge and John Helder Wedge were the sons of a Cambridgeshire family. They sailed for Van Dieman’s Land on the Heroine, arriving in April 1824. They were accompanied by two nephews, Charles Wedge and John Charles Dark. The brothers brought with them a complete sawmill, which they intended to operate in Tasmania. However, the enterprise quickly failed for they hadn’t taken into account the hardness of the Australian timber.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

John Helder Wedge was a surveyor by profession and was appointed assistant second surveyor of Van Dieman’s land. The Wedges were with John Batman and his small party who arrived in Port Phillip and founded Melbourne in 1835. It was John Helder Wedge who was responsible for allocating 40,000 acres of land to 17 members of the Port Phillip Association. A map showing the allocation of land records the Wedge name against block number 13. Number one is in the name of Charles Swanston. The land of the two Wedge brothers, John and Edward, began

at the mouth of the Maribyrnong River, ran south to Williamstown and round the coast to Werribee and along to Gellibrand’s land. John Helder Wedge returned to Tasmania in 1843 and died there at the age of 80 leaving no children. It was left to his brother Edward, who had settled on the Werribee River, to train three of his sons to carry on the development of the land and to settle them in the Dandenong district in 1839. Edward’s three sons, John, Charles and Henry, between them held land which extended from Mordialloc to Dandenong one way and in the other direction to Cranbourne, where it met Dr Adam’s property, Balla Balla. John and Charles were both among the early Justices of the

Peace on the Dandenong bench. Later, Charles went to Western Australia to carry out surveys there. One of his sons, Charles Upton Wedge, was one of the first three babies christened at St James Church of England, Dandenong, in 1859. The Wedge family can claim to be foremost among those stalwart pioneers who opened up the country in the Dandenong district for those who followed on when the squatting runs were broken up.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 27 May 1915 The War The Australian Soldiers In the Legislative Council last week, the following resolution was carried on the motion of the Hon W L Bailieu and the Hon W S Manifold - “That this House desires to place on record its unbounded admiration of, and pride in, the magnificent fighting qualities displayed by the Australian Imperial Forces at the Dardanelles.“ Wounded Private F C Newsome - Dandenong, 8th Battalion; Private J G Pearson - Keysborough, 8th Battalion; Private H W Parsons - Glen Waverly Sergeant R M Finch - Mordialloc, 5th Battalion Private F Cullen - Cockatoo Creek, 14th Bat-

talion; Private J P Conroy - Cranbourne, 6th Battalion 50 years ago 25 May 1965 Forty Years in the Car Game A record in the motor industry which many other firms would be proud to have is held by Market Motors of Dandenong, which last week celebrated its 40th anniversary. The stability of this firm is no better exemplified than by the fact that its present business is on the original site. Many changes have taken place in the 40 years of Market Motors’ life. Chevrolets in those days were advertised at £195 with their “big brothers” Buicks at £395.

20 years ago 22 May 1995 Students vow not to forget Two Dandenong students have ensured the legacy of Australia’s war-time involvement will not be forgotten. Robert Findlay and Wijendran Nalathamby recently returned from an ANZAC pilgrimage to the Burma Thailand Railway and Hellfire Pass in Thailand. “It was a really memorable experience, being there with the former prisoners of war and listening to their stories,“ Robert said. Robert from St John’s Collage and Wijendran from Cleeland Secondary College both found the ceremonies at the railway a moving experiences. They thank the Dandenong RSL club for

their opportunity. The RSL sponsored trip was part of a nationwide resurgence in interest by young Australians in past conflicts. 5 years ago 17 May 2010 Health Hazard Could there be a comparison now with an incident in Queensland, with the macadamia farm and toxic chemicals? The Dandenong South incidence of breathing in noxious vapours is equally hazardous.

Dodgy bunny probe By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A SECOND school principal in Greater Dandenong has been suspended and investigated by the Education Department following revelations about his “banker school” at an anti-corruption hearing. Tony Bryant, principal at Silverton Primary School for 21 years, was stood down soon after admitting to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission on Monday last week that he had removed invoices for chocolate Easter bunnies from the school’s files. During the hearing, Mr Bryant admitted he deliberately removed the invoices when confronted with a secretly taped conversation involving him. Chandler Park Primary School principal Peter Paul was also suspended last month, pending a department investigation into IBAC’s findings. IBAC is investigating alleged corruption involving Education Department senior executives buying perks such as wine, hotel stays and furniture by channelling funds through “banker schools”. The “program co-ordinator” or “banker” schools were given money by the Education Department to distribute to other schools in the region as needed. On Monday, Mr Bryant said he didn’t question why up to $540,000 of department funds over four years were funnelled through his school by then-Education Department south-east regional director John Allman. Mr Allman was sacked last month after admitting to IBAC that he’d destroyed relevant financial records.

Silverton Primary School received $540,000 as a "banker school" over four years, IBAC has heard. 138582 “When you’re directed by a senior executive to do this, this and this, we didn’t question it,” Mr Bryant told the hearing. Mr Bryant said he knew the funds were used to pay for items not connected with his school but “appeared legitimate on the surface”. “In hindsight now after what’s coming out in the last few weeks, I think we were being used.” The chocolate bunnies - valued at $1229 - were bought by the school’s business manager Sue Mourant and sent to the Education Department’s offices in Treasury Place. “We thought it was unusual at the time, but it was coming up to Easter and we thought, obviously, they

have decided they’re going to give them away to maybe staff in there, I don’t know,” Mr Bryant said. “So we followed the instructions and did it.” In a taped conversation in December, John Allman asked Mr Bryant about “the rabbits”. Mr Bryant replied: “But they never even saw that because that was one of ... the invoices we’d taken out of the folder. “Sue (Mourant) went through the folder… we looked at them and said which ones here look a bit suss?” Mr Bryant told the hearing the invoices had been taken from a “copy folder” and was not sure if the Easter bunnies didn’t look an

“appropriate” part of the ‘banker school’ program. In another taped conversation on 20 March, he told Mr Allman he “had a look” through “the folder” to see if there was anything that would “raise any alarms”. According to invoices exhibited at the inquiry, the school paid nearly $40,000 to Royal Children’s Hospital - where Mr Allman was a board member. Mr Bryant estimated another $100,000 was also paid to the hospital using a $240,000 grant - directed to the school by Mr Allman. The school also paid for twomonths’ accommodation in Glen Waverley for a department executive, a $43,500 printing bill, $2000plus of Christmas puddings, $6000 to Alannah and Madeline Foundation, and various dining functions including for a departing department executive. Mr Bryant told the hearing that since becoming a banker school, he’d been on up to eight overseas trips - some funded by his 2011 principal-of-the-year award, some funded by Microsoft for heading a “worldwide mentor school”. Mr Bryant said he agreed to become a banker school in 2008 because it was an “honour”. The school also gained up to $5000 interest on the department funds. “In a really poor socio-economic area, any extra money is a benefit to the school,” Mr Bryant said. He said Mr Allman put an end to the practice in 2011. Around the same time, the school was told it had been “randomly selected” as part of an “extraordinary audit”, Mr Bryant said.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING RE: Park may make the cut for new school site UNLESS this school is a P-12 school it will be useless as it is still five to 10 years away from completion once land is obtained! What happened to the Green Wedge policy in this decision? Even if this was ideal there will be parents saying their children can’t get there because of lack of transport and the need to cross Dandenong Bypass because they wouldn’t even consider Springers as a community hub option because of those reasons which were listed in the Keysborough South Our Say forum. Any community needs to make sacrifices to bring their ideas to fruition just as we did when the older Keysborough was settled! While not ideal, Maralinga Primary is sitting vacant and is useable. Why can’t this facility be used until the government/council make a decision. It’s not rocket science! Use facilities that are available and habitable. Show the numbers that will be using the facility and the future need. Use it as a community hub in the interim. Build a case because if the Keysborough South community are going to be happy with school anywhere in that precinct then issues of how far they have to walk or travel is not a real issue as stated in the Keysborough South Our Say forum. Even better still, build the new school in the place of the proposed shopping centre which

is not needed in this area in any shape or form. We do not want more shopping centres! Not after experiencing vacant shops in the area over many years - they are an eyesore. Fill the empty shops we have vacant first! Cybil Butler, via web. THERE was supposed to be a block of land behind the original Keysborough school that was to be for the new school in the future. As I was a parent when the old school was taken away from us in the Kennett days, that should not have happened. Give us the new school for the up and coming kids of the future to start a new life and give the new area a new lease of life. Bronwyn Guyatt, via web. RE: IBAC: Chocolate bunny bill costs principal IT’S interesting how tall poppies in all walks of life are falling like nine pins as past actions catch up with them (for every action there is a reaction). It’s a pity that such deception has crept into our education system, implicating all in the “inner sanctum” including school council presidents and committees who have been led down the garden path. It’s time for a new regime to take over with stronger guidelines in place so we are not subjected to such opulent greed in the place of our children’s education. Private schools would be demanding instant dismissals of their senior administration staff. Cybil Butler, via web.

Should parkland be used for a Keysborough South Primary School?

What do you think of the Federal Government’s “have a go” budget?

Alan Gordon: Cannot believe this council in selling off our parks. Already the media recently highlighting the park in Springvale now this one. When Erickson Gardens was sold in Springvale money was to be set aside for future parks, not to sell off more.

Brad Woodford: As a recently established small business operator it is going to help me prop up my business and perhaps expand. It’s good news for those operating a small business and will hopefully result in more economic activity and more jobs.

There are reports a former Lyndale Secondary College student has been killed fighting for IS in the Middle East. Did you know Irfaan Hussein? Amo Lochery: John Farnham went to that school – schools don’t make these issues.

A Dandenong school is setting up an urban farm. What do you think? Healthy Together Greater Dandenong: St Gerard’s Urban Farm will be a wonderful place for the community to come together and support the local food system. Astra Billiards: What a great idea for the kids.

Cash bid to tackle family violence

Pick-up in gridlock By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council is revisiting solutions to a worsening school pick-up gridlock that has led to road rage, bingles and cars dangerously mounting pavements. For several years, Dandenong North Primary School has met with the council and long pleaded for traffic and parking solutions to the standstill, which has worsened as its student population has soared from 450 to 700 students. Principal Kevin Mackay wants a handful of 30-minute parking spaces on David Street designated a threeminute drop-off or pick-up zone, and to restrict a section of Woodlee Street to one-way traffic. He said early-arriving parents were clogging the spots. Cars parked on either side of Woodlee Street - between Edward Avenue and David Street - had created a one-lane street and “absolute gridlock” for two-way traffic. Mr Mackay said cars had been

School council member Minwen Wu suveys the traffic gridlock at Dandenong North Primary School. 139392 seen mounting the footpath to escape the stand-still traffic, and three children were nearly run over during the chaos in February. “Road rage and other very dangerous parking and escape manoevres are quite prevalent,” he wrote to the council in February. The school’s parking shortage

has added competition for parking from staff and visitors at Dandenong Hospital, nearby clinics and residents. Recently the council introduced ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on a section of Woodlee Street for safe twoway traffic flow and to reduce “inappropriate driver behaviour”.

School council member Minwen Wu said this restriction had reduced valuable parking spaces, intensifying frustrations from parents slowly circulating the block for up to 20 minutes hunting for spaces. “Cars are just sitting in the driving lane, no one’s moving. “I’m usually calm but even I get frustrated. I’m thinking I’ll either remove my family from the school or someone from the city council should be removed from their jobs.“ Julie Reid, the council’s engineering services director, noted the school had not invested in safe dropoff and pick-up areas despite its rapid population growth. “Previous efforts to add additional short term parking restrictions along David Street, in order to provide more drop-off and pick-up spaces was not supported by key stakeholders. “Council officers will revisit this matter and consult with the school and residents to determine if views have changed.”

Drugs grown to treat his social anxiety A DANDENONG man on the autism spectrum has told a court that he was growing cannabis to overcome his social anxiety. Single father Corey Douglas Ryan pleaded guilty in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday to cultivating 49 mature marijuana plants at his home garage grow-room. During a raid of his former residence in Carrum on 6 November, Caulfield Response Unit police also found 400 grams of harvested hemp, leaf matter and a number of seed-

lings on a coffee table and hanging on a bedroom clothes rack. Ryan, who represented himself, told the court he was growing the 12-month supply of cannabis for his own use and had no intention of selling the plants and no associations with drug dealers. “I know you have to impose a sentence. I have not done one thing that would be harm to anyone.” Ryan said his anti-social instincts had been unsuccessfully treated with psychotropic medication.

He found cannabis made a difference, whereas “the bad outweighed the good” when he took drugs such as Xanax. “I can still function in lots of ways. In many group situations I feel anxious. Everyone thought I was retarded early in life.” Magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted the high yield of drugs seized - estimating Ryan would have been planning to smoke six grams a day over the next year. He placed Ryan - without con-

viction - on a 12-month community correction order including treatment for drug abuse. Mr Vandersteen said the treatment’s success may depend on how convinced Ryan was of cannabis’s “medicinal” value. “You expressed yourself very well. I’d say you are high-functioning and very intelligent. “I’m not going to be contemptuous... but I do see many people overwhelmed by drug use.” –CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

CASEY councillors agreed on Tuesday night to push for additional funding for the council’s Challenge Family Violence Prevention Project. The funds are set to dry up in November. The $60,000 project, funded by the Department of Justice and Regulation and launched in 2013, is a joint partnership between the City of Casey, Cardinia Shire Council, the City of Greater Dandenong and Monash Health and is set to finish before the end of this year. Councillor Rosalie Crestani raised the motion, carried by her colleagues, for Casey to write to the ministers for Prevention and Family Violence and Police, advocating for additional funding for the Challenge project. Council research has revealed that two women were killed by their partners in Australia every week, with the City of Casey recording some of the highest numbers of family violence incidents in the state.

Rotarians are still serving By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG Rotarians have been serving the community for 80 years. They celebrated the milestone at Waverley Golf Club in Rowville on 15 May, presenting four prestigious awards to members who’ve gone above and beyond. The proposed Rotary Club of Dandenong’s first meeting took place at the Royal Hotel in Dandenong on 29 March 1935. The club counted Rotary founder Paul Harris among the guests, the only club in Australia to do so. Among the 19 original charter members were M+K founder Jeffrey Macpherson and Dandenong Mayor Ray Jeffers. The club distributes about $30,000 in the local community each year but has just 25 members - a long way from the 100plus in the 1980s. “So we’ve really got to pull up our socks and attract ordinary citizens of Dandenong,” former president Graeme Coates said. He’s the club’s longest serving member, having joined in 1972, and thanked his wife of 56 years, Marlene, when he received a sapphire pin at the dinner. “I’d just like to mention my wife, my one and only,” he said. “Without my wife I’d be just a very ordinary Rotarian.” Phillip Lunt also received a sapphire pin. He joined the Rotary Club of Dandenong in 2007, served as president in 2012-13 and has taken a leading role in a number of projects including Cinema Under the Stars.

About 600 people attended the event in its first year and that number swelled to 1600 this year. “It was a great family night. Not only did we make money but we got out there as Rotarians,” Mr Lunt said. “It’s nice to see that we have made a lot of progress in the things we’ve started. “I’m fairly lost for words, which is unusual for me. I love you all.” Past president Don Cantwell received a second sapphire pin. He joined Rotary Club of Dandenong in 1977. “I’ve enjoyed every moment of it,” he said. “I just hope we can get some more members and keep the club really strong.” Mr Cantwell directed the club’s art stand loan program over the past 14 years, raising about $18,000 per year. Dandenong Rotarians would transport, assemble and dismantle the art stands but recently sold them to Rotary Club of Berwick due to ageing volunteers. “They already had some stands so it’s worked out very well,” Mr Cantwell said. The club made Linda Grennan a Paul Harris Fellow. She became involved when her husband John joined Rotary in 2000. “I’d just like to say thank you so much. What a shock,” she said. “I just help out with everyone else.” As she made her way back to her table, several people commented “you do more than that”.

Call for volunteers By CASEY NEILL NOBLE Park’s Queen Elizabeth Centre needs a helping hand to get vulnerable families back on their feet. QEC provides support, care and guidance to parents with children aged up to four years who are experiencing difficulties, from sleeping and feeding to mental illness. “Often there’s a lot more going on with a family,” residential services manager Emily Herde said. “It’s all about the interaction and all the other stuff is a flow-on effect.” Families can live at the centre’s 16-room ward for five days to receive intensive help from nurses, social workers, psychologists and more through group sessions and activities. QEC needs volunteers to welcome these families on a Monday and help them to check out on a Friday. The volunteers will receive training and ongoing support and need to develop a rapport with families, offer compassion, and communicate and listen effectively. Ms Herde said a friendly and relaxed greeting set the tone for a family’s stay. “It’s nice to have someone not focusing on the clinical things,” she said. “It’s a big deal for these families to admit that they need help.” QEC started as a baby health centre in North Richmond in 1917, developed into a nurse training ground and in 1934 became a registered public hospital. Its focus shifted toward at-risk children as nurse training moved out

Volunteers Kym, Justyne and Mariela with nine-month-old Dean and QEC early parenting practitioner Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Robyn Smith. 138764 of hospitals and into the higher education sector, and in 1986 became QEC. The centre moved to its current purpose-built facilities in Noble Park in 1998. Qualified nurses also triage calls for help and Ms Herde said some parents might just need advice over the phone or from the QEC website while others are referred to more intensive programs. As well as the five-day residential program, there’s a Day Stay work-

shop and an eight-week therapeutic playgroup program Playsteps. Participation in the 10-day residential program is by Victorian Child Protection Service referral. QEC’s outreach program includes 12 weeks of home visits to help with sleep, settling and more. “Not everyone can come into Noble Park. It just means our reach is much greater,” Ms Herde said. The centre also helps parents line up ongoing support and empowers them to tackle issues on their own.

QEC operates with state and federal funding and families with a Medicare card don’t have to pay for the service. Call the people and culture team on 9549 2732 or email Ms Parry at peopleandculture@qec.org.au to volunteer. The Queen Elizabeth Centre is at 53 Thomas Street, Noble Park. Visit www.qec.org.au for parenting resources and more information about the centre or phone 9549 2777.

BINGO FRIDAY NIGHT

DAYS in court are rarely fun - but one man suffered in a unique way. The man had sat in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court for eight hours waiting fruitlessly for his case to be heard. Finally his driving-while-suspended case was called just after 5pm. He told the court how he didn’t know his licence had been suspended when he was pulled up by police on 18 November 2013. The six-month suspension period had been due to expire on 24 November. The magistrate said: “You won’t like this but I’d infer from that that you drove all the way through the suspended period.” Then the kicker - “I hope you didn’t drive here today,” the magistrate said, just before suspending the accused’s licence for a further month. The man affirmed with a grimace. The magistrate advised: “You better get someone to come pick up the car”. A 45-YEAR-old man who was caught drug-driving with ‘ice’ in his system was subjected to a magisterial quiz in Dandenong on Monday. The judge asked the accused: “What is in ice?” The accused hesitated, then said: “Rubbish. I don’t know.” The next question from the bench was what are the effects of ice. The accused replied: “It’s not good for you.” The judge told him it was bad for the accused’s physical and mental health, relationships and his job security. “Hopefully you can learn something from this - not to put something in your body that can harm it.” The man was convicted, fined $600 and disqualified from driving for six months.

Mosque buys neighbours By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A POPULAR Dandenong mosque has bought adjoining houses to quell neighbours’ concerns about its massive parking overflow. Emir Sultan Mosque has this month bought two neighbouring houses in Cleeland Street and Godfree Crescent, earmarking at least one of them for offstreet parking. It is seeking to raise $700,000 by mid-July to pay for the 800 square metre Cleeland Street property. In February, the mosque controversially won permission from Greater Dandenong Council to double its Friday congregation despite a 227 car-parking space shortfall in February. Parking comes under acute stress in the area which is surrounded by houses, Chisholm TAFE, Dandenong Hospital, clinics and Dandenong North Primary School.

The mosque’s existing 41-space off-street car park has been unable to cope with the mosque’s permitted maximum of 300 attendees - which extends to 500 during Ramadan. Neighbours had complained of illegal parking over driveways, impediments to emergency vehicles and lack of access to nearby homes and businesses during the mosque’s Friday service. Mosque vice-president Suleyman Sahingoz said the purchases were partly due to worshippers’ mounting parking-tickets. “We had to do this,” he said. “Every mosque has parking issues. We wanted to do the right thing by the council and the neighbours.” Greater Dandenong Mayor Sean O’Reilly welcomed the impasse-breaker as “action that was required”.

“That’s great that they’re taking positive action on parking, which will help with relationships with residents. “The mosque has a great relationship with the council. It is repaying the council’s trust.” Councillor Matthew Kirwan, who opposed the mosque’s parking reduction in February, said: “If they’re working on the basis that they’re not going to further increase the number of worshippers, that’s a really good outcome.” Greater Dandenong city planning acting director Rachel Lunn said if the mosque intended to use residential land for car parking, it would be advertised and require a “full assessment against the planning scheme”. “Council is in no position to speculate whether the purchase of adjoining land would contribute positively to (the) locality or the existing permit.”

Muriel’s life for the country MURIEL Norris gave more than 40 years of her life to the Noble Park Country Women’s Association. On Monday 18 May the 95-year-old’s CWA colleagues thanked her with a certificate presentation at a morning tea in Springvale. Ms Norris still lives in her own home but her age recently forced her to give up her CWA duties.

“She was a very staunch and reliable member,” Yvonne Smith said. “We’re sorry that she can no long come along. “She’s been with us for 40 years. She started off at Cranbourne CWA and when she moved down here she transferred to us. “She’s been a great member all those years.”

Ms Smith said Ms Norris was an excellent cook and also liked knitting. “She was a Blackmore and her family had big farms around the area in Noble Park for years,” she said. “She was a historian for Dandenong.” Phone Ms Smith on 9547 7261 to get involved with the Noble Park CWA.

AFTER principal Ruby Toombs listened to students’ poems about their own hopes and dreams she decided a visual reminder of hope in the school grounds would be their next project. Athol Road Primary School officially opened its Garden of Hope on Wednesday 20 May with special guest Mayor Sean O’Reilly and parents. The whole school event allowed each child to drop their own wish of hope for the future

into the gardens wishing well. “Our students decided that our hope symbol would be an anchor as it’s the sign of hope for sailors and parents wrote the word ‘hope’ in different languages on the anchors,” Ms Toombs said. The garden started construction eight months ago with the help of the Teachers Mutual Bank teaching initiative grant. The school was granted $2000 and added another $3000 towards the garden. “We wanted to build a garden of hope to remind our stu-

dents that no matter how bad today is there is always hope in the world and to follow your hopes and dreams,” Ms Toombs said. The garden has a friendship seat from the Alannah and Madeline Foundation and a wall is set to be built with the slogan ‘Plant the thought and grow the dream’. “The students love the garden and it is a work in progress. “As ideas come up we will intend on building them to make the garden more realistic,” Ms Toombs said.

MEMBE RSHIP ONLY

Secure spot By CASEY NEILL THE Ermha team has been running between four buildings on Robinson Street in Dandenong to find space for a meeting, chat to a colleague or pick up a document. By the end of next month the 200-plus staff will come together in a new head office on Princes Highway. MadCap Social Enterprise and Ermha marketing and communications executive director Christine Thornton said the mental health service had been expanding at a rapid rate. “In the last five years we’ve dramatically increased in the

clients we’ve been able to service,” she said. “We’ve outgrown our spaces. It was never our plan to have four leases in four different buildings. It was just meeting demand. “We couldn’t just go out and move our head office every time we got a new contract.” Ermha has signed a sevenyear, $411,445 per annum lease for a 1349 square metre space at 81-125 Princes Highway. “We’ve been lucky enough to find Estate One, a spot that’s on level one. It meets all our needs,” Ms Thornton said. “We’re going to be providing all the office space for our

staff in the south east region. “We are still maintaining our drop-in space at 65 Robinson Street. “We knew we still needed to maintain our representation in the CBD of Dandenong.” The site will be refurbished to create a space that’s welcoming for children and for people from all cultures. Ms Thornton said the move would provide more spaces for staff training and opportunities to host community training and forums. “The need for support for people with disability and mental illness in the south east is growing,” she said.

STREET lights across Greater Dandenong will soon be using 77 per cent less energy. Over the next 12 months the City of Greater Dandenong will switch more than 5000 mercury vapour street lights with new LED technology. It will complete the project in partnership with the Federal Government’s Community Energy Efficiency Program. Mayor Sean O’Reilly said the council was committed to reducing its environmental footprint. “The new LED street lights will improve visibility which, in turn, makes it easier to navigate at night and provides the community with improved perceptions of safety,” he said. The council will partner with United Energy to install and maintain the new lights throughout the municipality.

The switch begins in Jobert Court, Springvale. 139152 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

New way of educating By GEORGIA WESTGARTH CORNISH College has unveiled plans to build a $1.34 million learning facility named after long serving principal Kerry Bolger. The new classroom space for Grades 4, 5 and 6 will commence construction in July for completion around December. Head of campus for 20 years, Mr Bolger left St Leonards College in 2011 and became principal of Cornish College after the Uniting Church bought the school along with its 100 acre grounds. Principal since 2012 Mr Bolger said he was proud of what the school has achieved in just four years. “It’s a fabulous way for me to finish my career and to become the principal basically because the parents wanted me to stay has been a real highlight,” Mr Bolger said. The Kerry Bolger Centre will be the first new building since the school became Cornish College and Mr Bolger said the

A computer generated image of what the new building will look like. large learning space will meet the needs for a new way of educating. “I have seen education over the past 44 years change,” he said. “Rows and desks have disappeared, building spaces that accommodate children to be able to work together, on different projects and in progress is the new way forward - providing an environment that accommodates our students working

the way everyone else works,” Mr Bolger said. The school opened with 219 enrolments in 2012 and currently has 543 students from Kindergarten to Year 12 and expects more than 600 students next year. Raising most of the money itself, Cornish College has secured a federal government grant and is hoping to raise another

$300,000 for the build. Mr Bolger said the centre would include writable glass walls, coffee tables to brain storm around, electronic white boards, solar panels and cross flow ventilation. “It’s about providing the sort of learning environment to prepare them for the future, we want to use as many sustainable building features as possible as a model to the students going forward so when they build their own home they build them the same way,” he said. The modular construction will be built offsite and transported to the college. Six new class rooms at 75 square metres each will be built with 50 metres of break out space in between each classroom. Mr Bolger said he was excited and proud that the school community chose to name the centre after him. “I’ll be 66 soon and it’s time to do what other grey haired people do,” Mr Bolger said of his retirement.

Brain injury addict risks a life on the streets A MAGISTRATE has reluctantly freed an ice-addicted man with an acquired brain injury onto the streets despite being at risk of homelessness. Daniel Davis, 23, wearing a Mr Grumpy T-shirt, scoffed when Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told of him stealing four one-litre bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey worth $268 from a liquor outlet in Dandenong Plaza on 5 February. Eleven days later, he resisted arrest attempts by police by “thrashing” his arms before breaking free. He was arrested 20 minutes later in a Clow Street car park. The stolen liquor was not recovered.

Davis also pleaded guilty to attempting to smuggle a $229 speaker under his clothing from a JB Hi-Fi store in Malvern East on 6 February. When confronted by staff, he became “agitated and aggressive”, police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Glenn Horman told the court. An off-duty police officer assisted in the arrest and Davis was taken to The Alfred hospital to treat his seemingly drugaffected state, the court was told. Davis had been remanded in custody since the day before his hearing due to an alleged intervention order breach. The charge was subsequently withdrawn. Defence lawyer Effie Lagos said Da-

vis’s offending was partly due to his drug use. His personality had also changed since acquiring the brain injury as a 12-yearold. “He reacts badly when reproached and spoken to in a certain manner,” Ms Lagos said. The court was told Davis was unable to live at his family’s Doveton home - his step-father wanted “nothing to do with him at this stage” - but was able to stay with friends. “There’s no (homelessness) refuges available today but he could be located in a boarding house.” Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said that in “an ideal world” he would give Davis a

A 23-YEAR-OLD man who was threatened with a knife and punched in the face had his laptop and mobile phone stolen. The victim was walking home along Perry Road in Keysborough at 9.30pm on Friday 15 May when he was approached by three men, with one of them putting him in a headlock and holding a knife to his throat. A second attacker then punched him in the head before the three men fled with the victim’s laptop computer and mobile phone, collectively worth $2000.

Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print. Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

Mining

A KEYSBOROUGH teenager has been left petrified after a man held a knife to her throat and demanded her phone. The 17-year-old was walking down Paterson Road in Springvale South when two men confronted her from behind just before 9pm on Friday 15 May. One put a knife against her neck and told her to shut up and hand over her phone. She complied and the offenders, both wearing black clothing at the time, then fled east towards Darren Road. The girl was uninjured in the robbery.

He’s not going to get accommodation - not in the current climate.” As a final submission, Ldg Sen Const Horman said: “If you release him today with a fine, how do we address his issues?” Ms Lagos counter-argued: “He needs to be sentenced for what he has done. Already he has been in custody for two days.” Mr Vandersteen plumped for a good behaviour bond with conviction. “I can’t keep you in jail anymore because you don’t have much of a history.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST Would-be workers raise questions

Strength of support By CASEY NEILL MORE than 50 mechanics took one look at Ghulam Haidar’s polio-withered leg and turned him away, refusing to give the Hampton Park 21-year-old the chance to prove himself in the field he loves. But Patterson Cheney’s New World Honda in Narre Warren saw past the refugee’s disability and took him on as a trade assistant. Three months down the track and the company is looking to offer him an apprenticeship. Ghulam makes his way around the workshop on a crutch with remarkable ease, his strength and agility astounding to watch. He removes a tyre from a car using one arm while his other rests on the wooden crutch that serves as his right leg. “I’m feeling very happy. This job is my passion,” he said. “Because I got the job I can support my family as well.” He came to Australia in July 2013 to save his life and forge a new one, making a treacherous sea journey via Indonesia. “In Afghanistan my life was not safe. In Pakistan, too,” he said. His wife, mother and sister remain in Pakistan. He said it was hard to be separated from them but that his wife’s migration application was being processed. “Hopefully, she will be here soon,” he said. Ghulam had a Grade 6 level education when he arrived in Australia and enrolled in an English class. Dandenong Valley Job Support (DVJS) organised work experience at a Dandenong mechanic for him and he received great feedback, but there was doubt as to whether anyone would employ him. Undeterred, with help from DVJS case manager De’Arne Coates, Ghulam completed a certificate two in automotive servicing technology at Chisholm Institute in

They’d just look at him and say no,” DVJS business manager Andy Ernst said. New World Honda Narre Warren service manager Russell Hudman said he was surprised at what Ghulam could do. “We thought we’d give him a try, put him on for a couple of weeks and he seemed to be a really hard worker and very keen,” he said. “He came in here, he said he wanted

to do express all by himself. “Express is generally two people working on a car at the same time. “I was very impressed by his enthusiasm. “Depending on how he goes this year, I’ll more than likely be looking at putting him on as a mature aged apprentice.” Mr Hudman employed all his car washers through DVJS. “They want work and other people aren’t willing to give them a go,” he said. “It’s hard to keep people in a job like that because it’s monotonous.”

Picture: GARY SISSONS Mr Ernst said some job seekers had physical disabilities while others had literacy issues or depression. “Standing there in solitude washing a car can sometimes be the best therapy for them,” he said. “It’s putting the right person in the right place. “We’ve got hundreds of guys and it’s finding that niche for all of them.” Since 2010 New World Honda has employed nine staff through DVJS and the Patterson Cheney Group as a whole has employed 15 people with disabilities.

Showers on the buses A DANDENONG business is helping to deliver dignity - one shower at a time. Ventura fleet and maintenance general manager Michael Hourn on Wednesday 13 May handed One Voice president and founder Josh Wilkins the keys to a decommissioned bus. The One Voice team will refit the bus interior over the next six weeks, creating a mobile shower service that will head to the Rosebud, Mt Eliza and McCrae areas during winter. It will offer homeless people a safe place to shower, brush their teeth and access clothing and hygiene products. One Voice last year launched its mobile shower service pilot at Rebecca Walk in Batman Park, Melbourne. About 14 people used the shower each night and their feedback indicated there weren’t enough shower facilities.

STUDENTS were encouraged to be themselves and to do their own research at a Dandenong employment forum. South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN) hosted the event at Chisholm Institute on Tuesday 9 May. About 130 students in Year 9 and above asked questions of a panel that included representatives from Target, LINK Employment and Training, Bunnings, Woolworths and McDonalds. SELLEN’s school to industry development officer Jennifer Ebdon said attendees were looking to take their first leap into the workforce. “They were interested to know about things like getting a first job without any experience,” she said. “There was a lot of feedback from employers about the value of volunteering, the value of being involved in sports clubs, the value of listing any achievements or awards.” Ms Ebdon said the students also asked how they should prepare for an interview. “The main advice was ‘do your homework, research the company’,” she said. Other tips included going to the workplace to watch how staff interacted with customers and build their knowledge of how the business operated. Year 10 drama students from St John’s Regional College played eight applicants in a mock group interview. Bunnings’s Victorian regional learning co-ordinator Darren Moulder led and commentated the interview, pointing out applicants talking over the top of others or taking a back seat. “He went around and said who he would have hired,” Ms Ebdon said. “He explained how he identified qualities from the behaviour he saw.” Students were advised to tailor their resumes.

Employers fry up for breakfast to mentor future staff BUSINESSES and future employees connected and shared their stories at a breakfast in Dandenong this month. City of Greater Dandenong’s Youth and Family Services team partnered with South East Business Networks (SEBN) to host the event at Dandenong Civic Centre on Thursday 7 May. Year 9 and 10 students from six secondary schools joined with mentors to explore career options and pathways to reach

their goals. “It was one of those special moments where it was just a great feeling in the room,” SEBN manager Sandra George said. “It was terrific because we had almost as many mentors as we had students. I think it was up around the 40 mark.” Ms George said businesses were very willing to help with two 20-minute mentoring sessions. “We didn’t have to do any chasing. In fact we had a wait-

ing list of mentors,” she said. “The mentors said at the end of the session they would have liked longer with the kids. “They valued the fact that these young people were their future workforce.” Dandenong High School, Sirius College, Carwatha College P12, St John’s Regional College, Minaret College and Keysborough College were involved. Students discussed their mentor’s career journey and

what they did at work each day during the first mentoring session while the second focused on students’ career paths. “It gave employers a better understanding of how young people think and therefore how they can connect with them,” Ms George said. She said the event also exposed students to the job opportunities in the region. “Often a lot more than what they think there are,” she said.

“Don’t be persuaded by media that manufacturing is dead and gone. It’s very much alive, it’s different and it’s exciting.” Ms George said guest speaker Reem Hakeem was “just amazing”. “Everything that she said just resonated and she really was able to expose the audience - both the kids and the adults - to some of the realities that these people face and some of the decision-making processes

they go through,” she said. “She gave the students permission to be themselves, to be who they really are and grow from that.” Guest speaker Shaun Surtees was outstanding, Ms George said. “He spoke about how he’d been supported throughout his journey and the opportunities he’d been given,” she said. “He really motivated the young ones.”

Stitching for survival By CASEY NEILL WOMEN have used art and craft to capture harrowing stories of survival. Stitching Our Stories is on display at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens in Dandenong until 31 May. It’s the work of refugee, asylum seeker and migrant women who attend Wellsprings for Women’s Creative Connections Through Craft program. They took a personal object and used printed patterns, textures and text to express their feelings towards it in artist books and hand embroideries. “This process has fostered a sense of ownership, individual identity, history and pride in sharing cultural traditions,” art therapist Holly Gordon said. Ms Gordon has worked on Creative Connections Through Craft for almost three years. She said it was a soft starting point for women to access further education through Wellsprings and other organisations. The group meets for more than two hours each Monday to work on a range of skills including stencil work, painting and embroidery.

IN BRIEF Audi arson DETECTIVES are investigating whether a stolen car was dumped and then set alight in the early hours of the morning near the Dandenong Creek trail. The fire, on Oppenheim Road in Dandenong South, is being treated as suspicious after it was reported to police around 2.30am on Thursday 14 May. The burnt-out car was a 2002 black Audi sedan and is believed to have been stolen from Oswald Street in Dandenong earlier on the same day.

certificate courses and run market stalls. Wellsprings manager Veronica Hassett said the Creative Connections Through Craft each week joined the long-run-

ning Crafty Connections group for women with special needs. “They all come together so they’re making stitches together,” she said.

“They’re learning to speak English together - where did you get your thread from? How do you make this outfit? “That’s how women learn.”

POLICE were called to a bin fire that was lit behind a Dandenong business earlier this month. The fire was started behind the Superior Drive premises around 4pm on Saturday 16 May. No one was injured in the blaze. Detectives are now appealing for any witnesses to the fire to come forward.

Money rattle hits the road THE Dandenong Salvation Army receives upwards of $1 million through the Red Shield Appeal every year. Captain Stuart McGifford said money raised across the country is allocated and assigned to different areas according to need. “Dandenong receives far more funding than we raise (locally) to help address the difficulties and challenges of this area,” he said. Last year Dandenong Salvation Army raised $15,000 and is hoping to raise the same amount again this year. Mr McGifford said the money will go towards providing people with a second chance. “We don’t care if it’s their fault or not, we want to help them with a way out. “In many circumstances parents might have made the wrong decisions and their children have no way out,” Mr McGifford+ said. The Dandenong Salvation Army commonly deals with drug addiction and emergency relief but Mr McGifford said domestic violence is the most confronting part of his job. “Ice and all drug addiction concerns us deeply, gambling tends to be a hidden issue but definitely present and domestic violence is an ongoing challenge because it often leads to someone becoming homeless which leads to multiple complexities,” he said. On Saturday 30 May and Sunday 31 Salvation Army volunteers will take to the streets

Dale’s Dog day afternoon By JARROD POTTER “THAT’S definitely a moment I’ll never forget - all the boys got around me which was really nice and was probably one of the best feelings I’ve ever had.” The thrill of booting a goal on AFL debut is the boyhood dream for many young footballers, but for Bailey Dale it was no fantasy. Taking a handball off team-mate Easton Wood in the second term, the Western Bulldogs debutant ran past the 50-metre line and barrelled his first AFL goal through the uprights at Etihad Stadium against Fremantle. The former Dandenong Stingray Dale, 18, originally from Chelsea Heights, has been part of the Kennel since last October, where he was selected at pick 45 at the AFL national draft. He was tapped on the shoulder by head coach Luke Beveridge last week to say his debut was coming up and he couldn’t really believe it. “It was a pretty surreal sort of feeling,” Dale said. “Bevo (Beveridge) came up to me

during the week and said pretty much ‘congratulations, you’re playing your first game’. “But to get out there and have a run around with the big league was pretty amazing.” The underdog Westerners tested the high-flying Dockers every step of the way in a nail-biting 13-point loss. “When we kicked that goal to get us even - the crowd was so loud… that’s what we play for as a kid,” Dale said. “Just listening to the crowd scream after you’re coming from behind or starting to win, that was one of the biggest moments for me. “It’s a pretty positive feeling around the club - even on the weekend, we had a loss, but there were plenty of positives that we can match it with the top sides.” He didn’t have to worry about waiting his turn on the sideline with the dreaded ‘substitute’s vest’ which has become a rite of passage for debuting players. Beveridge instead decided to give Dale a full run-around and he played

out his first match with a raucous support crew of family, friends and former team-mates from Edithvale-Aspendale Football Club. “Got most of the family there, a lot of people from EdiAp (Edithvale-Aspendale) came down so that was very nice… probably had 40 people in the rooms after the games,” Dale said. “It was disappointing to lose, but was still an amazing moment to share that with my friends and family.” With his side sitting eighth under the new coach, Dale thought the Beveridge-inspired confidence and faith was a mighty motivator. “I think that’s what Bevo has given us - that belief that we can match it with anyone and that’s pretty powerful around the club,” Dale said. “He obviously has a lot of trust and belief in us and says to go out and back yourself every week and trusts what you can do… he knows that we all have the talent to go out and match it with the top teams and he’s given us

Former Stingray Bailey Dale was thrilled to earn his AFL debut this week for the Western Bulldogs. 131992 Picture: WESTERN BULLDOGS that belief.” After the hard work of his initial pre-season and a couple of early VFL matches - knowing he had built himself up to the level required - made the debut even more satisfying for the 182cm midfield prospect. “Was a goal at the start of the year to play a game and I was being realistic about it - knew that I had to develop a bit more with my body and getting to know the game and getting up to the speed of the game,” Dale said. “I didn’t really have any expectations to play myself, but to get an op-

portunity was obviously very good and I hope I can get a few more senior games from now on.” Dale is the third Dandenong Stingray to debut this season behind Jack Lonie (St Kilda) and Tom Lamb (West Coast) - he thought all signs were trending upwards for the local TAC Cup club. “It’s very promising for the Stingrays and they’ve got a very good development team down there in Mark Wheeler and Craig Black and the other assistant coaches, so it’s a very positive sign for the Stingrays,” Dale said.

A Sara Blicavs comeback By JARROD POTTER

Andrew Bogut, pictured here with seven-year-old fan Noah on a visit back to Melbourne, has been named to the NBA All-Defensive second team of the year after excelling with the Golden State Warriors. 102168

Top of his game By JARROD POTTER STILL shining after 10 years in the best league on the planet, Andrew Bogut’s defensive prowess has been reinforced by selection in the NBA All-Defensive second team of the year. Adding another accolade to his jam-packed trophy cabinet, Bogut, 30, originally from Endeavour Hills, was named to the team after a strong season with Golden State Warriors. As one of Australia’s premier players in the National Basketball League (NBA), the 2005 number-one draft pick continues to excel defensively this season for the Warriors. Bogut accrued 6.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.69 blocks

to push his case for all-team selection and earned 33 first-team votes and 36 second-team votes to finish on 102 points and book his spot in the side. That selection also resulted in a very handy pay-day for the versatile centre. Golden State coach Steve Kerr confirmed on Twitter the 213cm powerhouse would receive a $1.93 million bonus for making the All-Defensive second team after already passing the other contract trigger - playing 65 games minimum for the season. It is Bogut’s first Conference finals series in his 10-year career and a Golden State series win would earn the Warriors’ centre his first appearance in the NBA Finals’ series.

BRINGING her good spirit back to Dandenong, Australian Opals prospect Sara Blicavs has signed on the dotted line to join the Rangers WNBL roster for 2015/16. The athletic tall - scraping the ceiling at 188cm - brings another layer of speed and athleticism to an extremely young Rangers line-up. Blicavs, 22, was a crucial part of Bendigo Spirit’s roster for the last two seasons - and starred in the 2013/14 WNBL championship campaign. Dandenong coach Larissa Anderson was thrilled to acquire the upand-coming basketball prodigy and compared Blicavs’ skills to the most famous Ranger of all Penny Taylor. “I think there’s a really good group that suits her and it’s a fabulous opportunity for Sara to play in the position,” Anderson said. “She’s just excited for the extra opportunity. “We see her more as a three (small forward/swingman) and can be thrown in the four (power forward) every now and then. “We see her more as a Penny Taylor type body and can be that rebounding three man.” Despite reeling in the rebounds and rattling off big double-doubles throughout her 122-game career, Anderson believes the swingman has only scratched the surface of her true capability in the league. “Her athleticism is incredible and Sara’s got that much untapped potential,” Anderson said. “She’s only shown a little snippet of what she’s capable of and we’re very happy to see her play at Dandenong. “She’s a great girl as well - once

Sara Blicavs will be back in the green and gold, rejoining the Dandenong Rangers for the coming WNBL season. 88980 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS again as always the personality of players is important especially with the culture we’re trying to put together. “Sara has already played at the club before too and she’s excited to come back.” Building for the future and trying to retain the same group across a number of seasons, Anderson compared her Rangers setting themselves up like Hawthorn Football Club - get the best juniors and develop the list around them. “They’re very young and that’s the direction we’re going - little bit like Hawthorn Football Club did - get a lot of upcoming youth coming up,” Anderson said. “We’ve worked it out and the ros-

ter’s average age is 22 - but with that hopefully there’s a very solid future.” Wanting a bit more experience in her inaugural WNBL roster, Anderson said the shopping list still contained another point guard - to assist and complement Aimie Clydesdale - and acquire more older heads to boost the young side. Blicavs has just left Australia on a tour with the Australian Opals to face Serbia, Italy, Venezuela and highlyfancied Spain. “Just left with the Opals and she’s picking up a lot of great experience overseas,” Anderson said. “We wish her all the best with that tour.”

SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Round 7

It’s a Burra fairytale By JARROD POTTER Division 2 SEEING off an early challenge from a dogged Highett, Keysborough continued its fairytale, inaugural SFL Division-2 campaign. The Dogs managed to rattle the Burra early - booting away to a slender lead before the home side began its rise as it’s done six times before this season. Playing like a side that demands wins of itself, rather than its Casey Cardinia incarnation that rocked up and hoped for the best, Keysborough rallied around its finest. Tyson King (4 goals) is etching his name on the Division 2 best-andfairest medal week-by-week with another starring effort. The roaming forward was unstoppable overhead and set up a number of goals for fellow forward Jake Dunn (4 goals) and the midfield tandem Richard Minney and Geoff Humphries (2

goals each). The fleet-footed Burra took the game by the scruff of the neck booting six unanswered goals in the third term to put Highett’s chance of victory well beyond reach, even after a last-term fight back. Burra coach Ryan Goodes - currently sidelined with a broken toe - said the win was just one part of Keysborough’s success as numbers have flourished. “I know we’re 7-0, but I’m more happy with the way the club’s going,” Goodes said. “Basing our success on how the club is going as a whole - we had 69 guys on the track on Thursday night and that’s what I’m more proud of. “Being seven-and-zip is fantastic, but the club winning three games today (Saturday) is even better.” First place in its first season, the platinum performances will hopefully continue on Saturday as Keys-

borough heads to Oakleigh District for a first-versus-second showdown. Doveton Eagles kept its season alive with a 15-point win over Heatherton. Despite the best efforts of former Lyndale full forward Trevor Kumetaitis (4 goals), the Eagles soared higher than the big cats to run home with a wet-sail. Corrie Wilson (4 goals), John Kennedy (3 goals) and Cameron Ross (2 goals) featured prominently on the scoreboard and the stat-sheet as the trio pushed aside Heatherton. Springvale Districts was brushed aside by Caulfield, with the visitors downed by 65 points. On another down day for the Demons, sitting just outside the relegation zone with a 2-5 record, Springvale Districts was best serviced by Shelton Rosario, Cameron Mcleod and Matthew Pay.

Division 3 IT WAS a bloodbath for the local sides as Endeavour Hills, Dandenong

and Lyndale fell by big margins. Only Sandown Cobras emerged triumphant as it demolished Dandenong by 44 points. Sharing the goals around, the Cobras were best services by Matt Davis, Luke Newton and Mitch Davis. For the Redlegs, the horror season only got worse slumping to 1-6 as Paul Gould, Scott Moody and Luke Harvey toiled for the home side. The Falcons were smashed by 96 points as Black Rock flexed its muscles on the back of 10 goals from Thomas Dewar. For Endeavour Hills, Daniel Strom, Jake Van Hoesel and Ben Swift were best afield. Lyndale was similar pushed aside by Carrum Patterson Lakes to the tune of 9.8 (62) to 18.10 (118). Dale Tormey (3 goals) continued his stellar season while Alex Bertucci (2 goals), Damien Wilsnach and Brenton Miles were the most prospering Pumas.

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Round 7

Bulls just won’t go away By JARROD POTTER Division 1 ANOTHER bruising Noble Park win has left the Eastern Football League in no doubt - the Bulls are here to play. This week’s victim was Blackburn - who has been battered by injury and unavailability to fall down the ladder to 10th. There was no Noble mercy for the Panthers however, as the Bulls stampeded all over the visitors in a 51-point goring. Wayward kicking as opposed to Blackburn proved the biggest threat to Noble Park’s prospects on Saturday though, as the Bulls booted 18 behinds in a 114-point haul. “Certainly is - it’s plagued us all year our ability to finish off,” Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty said. “We’re getting the opportunities to score - getting it in pretty well but got to capitalise going forward and getting the scoreboard and getting the right result.” Shayne Allan (6 goals) and Ziggie Alwan (2 goals) flew at everything that went near them, while the midfield brigade also cashed in

through Craig Anderson and Tim Harper (2 goals each). Harper in particular has been elite since his return to the Bullring - after two seasons with VFL side Frankston. While all eyes have focused on the returning Kyle Martin and Alwan for obvious reasons, Harper has been no less important in the Bulls’ 6-1 start to the season. “He certainly is playing well,” Fogarty said. “He’s a quality player, balanced player, beautiful kick and inside work is his strength… not to mention outside and finishes well, he’s is a terrific kid and a terrific player.” Also shining in the superb outing were Sam Monaghan, Trent Robertson and Stewart Kemperman. Earning a Powerade shower from his team mates after the win, debut Bull Dylan Collis also earned a nod in the best as he confidently roamed the forward line and wing. Noble Park has a bye this weekend before its traditional Queen’s Birthday blockbuster against Balwyn. The second place Bulls will host the ladder-leading Tigers on 6 June from 2.10pm.

THE JOC’s juggernaut continues to roll on in VAFA Division 2, this week smashing premiership contender Eltham Collegians by 48 points. Starting with a bang, St John’s nailed five goals to push aside Eltham in the first quarter. The likes of Keith Ash, Carson Strobel and Rohan Scott kept the home side on the backfoot and set up countless forward entries. Aaron Thornton (7 goals) gobbled up his chances in the forward-50 and has taken a comfortable four-goal lead in the Division-2 goal-kicking race, booting his way to 37 for the season. Despite rallying late in the clash - booting four goals in the final term - Eltham Collegians was no match for the mighty St John’s - who continues its unbeaten VAFA campaign so far this season. Coach Ben McGee said all that’s left for St John’s to knock over from the top ranks is Ivanhoe AFC, who will travel to Thomas Carroll Reserve in Round 9 in a blockbuster premiership-preview on 13 June. The 7-0 JOCs travel to face ninth place Monash Gryphons on Saturday.

Division 4 MASALA was completely outclassed by Westbourne Grammarians, downed by a whopping 174 points as the Warriors booted 30 goals. Dale Collins took half of those - leaving with a massive bag of 15 goals for the afternoon. Jordan Toikalkin was best afield for the Tigers alongside Ben Nugent and Adam Gleeson. 10th place Masala now hosts Point Cook at WJ Turner Reserve from 2pm on Saturday.

Week to week battle By JARROD POTTER EVERY week is a battle for Hawthorn midfielder Billy Hartung to keep his spot, but an AFL NAB Rising Star nomination dangling around his neck should give the former Dandenong Stingrays’ speedster a little breathing room. Hartung, 19, originally from Red Hill, has held his spot in the backto-back AFL premiership side and continues to rack up possessions and showcase that elite speed. Picking up 22 disposals, six marks and a goal - Hartung was named the rising star for Round 7 and was excited to gain the recognition on the back of a stellar team effort. “Yeah I was pretty pleased to be named NAB Rising Star for this round,” Hartung said on the Hawthorn website. “It’s actually a good achievement for a personal level as well, but it was also a good team performance on the weekend.” The former Dandenong Stingrays co-captain admitted he feels the pressure of selection week-to-week and hopes his efforts across his current AFL stint have given Hawthorn plenty of reasons to keep him up in the AFL ranks. “I think I’m pretty happy to have

SWEET It Is rewrote the record books at Sandown Park on Thursday, defending her RSN Sandown Cup title and becoming the sport’s highest earning greyhound in the process. Lining up in her 18th group final - her 10th at group 1 level Sweet It Is was sent to the boxes a $5.80 second favourite behind Space Star ($1.30), and it was the latter that began brilliantly to take an early lead. Sweet It Is has been well known to drop back to the rear of the field early in her races, however on this occasion she was handy to the leaders when passing the winning post the first time. When Space Star found trouble approaching the back straight, Sweet It Is then made her move. The daughter of Mogambo showed great track sense to weave through the field to hit the lead and race away to become the fifth greyhound to defend her Sandown Cup title. Despite being three-and-a-half

“Still feel even after the weekend’s performance I haven’t cemented my spot thus far and with a lot of good players coming back it will be even harder to keep my spot. “I’m always playing for my spot,

so that’s how I’m playing my footy this year.” Hartung’s Hawks had a grandfinal rematch against Sydney on Saturday evening going down 9.15 (69) to Sydney 11.7 (73).

How Sweet It Is By MICHAEL FLOYD

NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUES

years of age, her winning time was just half a length outside her best time at the View Road circuit (41.69). “I didn’t watch the first hundred meters,” said her emotional trainer Braden Finn. “I closed my eyes and when I opened them and saw her in fourth place I thought she might be a chance. “Then there was bit of a jam up front and fortunately she’s pretty smart in a field and could get around them. “She’s an amazing dog, she never ceases to amaze me… she tries her heart out every time and to do what she did tonight (Thursday) at her age in an amazing effort.” Sweet It Is powered to the line six lengths clear of Lady Toy, who finished second in a Group-1 final for the fourth time in her career. The win improved her record to 18 wins from 58 starts and the $175,000 winner cheque took her prize money to an Australian record $828,515. It was her fifth

Trainer Braden Finn and Sweet It Is savour another satisfying Picture: SUPPLIED success. 139511 Group-1 title - her third at Sandown Park - and she becomes the fifth greyhound in history to win consecutive RSN Sandown Cups. She now boasts an impressive record of eight wins and five placings from 15 starts over Sandown Park’s famous half-mile. Interestingly, it was the first time she’d won a group final after winning her heat, and just the sixth time in her 58 start career that

NEW men kept Dandenong Thunder in the race away from the NPL relegation zone, as it split the points with Werribee City 2-2 in a nail-biter. Thunder had a plethora of new faces on hand via the mid-season transfer period as the returning Archie Tomic, James Goulopoulas, Anthony Saric, Brodie Patterson, Tim Purcell and Nelson Salvatore commenced their 2015 campaigns at George Andrews Reserve. After going 0-1 down early, Thunder made the most of its late-match chances to put an extra point towards its campaign. Facing only 10 men after Werribee City’s Rob Naumoski was shown his second yellow in the 65th, Dandenong Thunder scrambled to find the match equalisers. It was one of the new men Goulopoulas who levelled the ledger at 1-1 in his first game for the club. Coming off the bench, Goulopoulas threaded the eye of the needle after weaving past the City defence in the 75th minute. Werribee City would push back out to a one-goal lead as Simon Colosimo showed some of that silk that made him a Socceroos favourite - after cannoning a header past new keeper Saric from a rising corner. It came down to the final kick as Thunder scrambled a goal through new man Tomic returning to Thunder after a stint at Surfers Paradise Apollo SC. Tomic’s header flew cleanly into the net to give the Thunder a draw and a crucial point in the NPL relegation race. The extra point keeps the Thunder within striking distance of Green Gully and Werribee City above them in 11th and 12th and will need a few more points this weekend against Bentleigh Greens on Friday night to keep itself in the top flight. It was not a completely Dandy day though for local soccer fans as Dandenong City suffered a 0-1 daytime loss at home to Whittlesea Ranges. Springvale White Eagles faced St Albans Saints away on Sunday afternoon after the Journal deadline (go to the Journal website for up-to-the-minute scores).

she’d won consecutive races. Assuming she pulls up well from her record breaking run, Sweet It Is will fly to New Zealand for the $80,000 (NZ) to the winner Silver Collar which commences on Sunday 31 May. Earlier in the night, Fernando Bale made it 10 wins in a row with a barnstorming all of the way win in the $36,000 Group-3 Bill Collins Memorial.

IN State League South East 1, Noble Park United claimed a 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers while South Springvale suffered a 2-3 loss at the hands of Frankston Pines. SLSE2 results didn’t fare any better as Doveton SC succumbed to a 0-5 battering via Heatherton United as Meldin Klehic booted four goals. South Springvale’s women smashed aside Monash University 2-1 as Mary Hubeek and Maria Cvitkovic kicked the match-winners while Noble Park SC ladies drew with Seaford United 3-3.

KEY changes to the Sonata have put the seventh generation of the Hyundai sedan in harmony with its classy upscale cousin, the Genesis. Not only that, the car also takes advantage of some first-rate Australian engineering input. So what’s not to like about the car? Not much, really. Maybe the old-fashioned ignition key with no keyless entry and engine start, the awkward foot-operated parking brake in lieu of an electronic one, or lack of factory satellite navigation in the entry-level model. The new Hyundai Sonata comes in three variants - Active, Elite and Premium. Active is powered by a 2.4-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, while Elite and Premium take advantage of a 2.0-litre turbocharged four. All make use of a six-speed automatic transmission. Pricewise, the cars score well, with the Active 2.4 GDi opening the innings at $29,990, plus on-road costs. First wicket down is the Elite 2.0 Turbo GDi at $36,990, while tailender, the Premium 2.0 Turbo GDi, follows on at $41,990. Hyundai owners benefit from lifetime capped price servicing, Australia’s first five-year unlimited kilometre warranty, a three-year

MapCare Plan, complimentary roadside assist for 12 months on, plus 1500km complimentary first service. As mentioned, the Sonata has taken styling cues from Hyundai’s luxury Genesis saloon, featuring Fluidic Sculpture 2.0, the second tranche of the South Korean manufacturer’s award-winning advanced design philosophy derived from nature. The sedan has the appearance of European luxury with a pronounced grille and wider front air intake making way for smooth flanks and Sonata’s signature beltline. Its predecessor’s coupe-like roofline is continued but is now complemented by larger side windows. Seventeen-inch twin-spoke alloy wheels fill out their surrounds. The car carries a full-size spare. A flat underbody enables the Sonata to come up with sports car-style aerodynamics in the form of a 0.27 co-efficient of friction, which successfully does its bit for fuel economy. As with the shape, Hyundai has gone all philosophical with the interior, designed with three core Human Machine Interface principles in mind - safety, by minimising visual distraction; simplicity, by presenting concise and relevant information; and intuitiveness, through improved user interfaces. Quality cloth upholstery, soft-

Sonata Active is following the leader ... at a distance. touch materials on the dashboard top and door trims, as well as textured metallic-painted garnish panels complete the stylish interior decor. With 25mm more rear legroom over its predecessor, the new Sonata is up with its Australian-market competitors, such as Camry and Mazda6, in most dimensions. Convenience abounds. A nifty touch is the mechanism for folding the rear seat backs to increase the 510 litres of luggage space. A couple of tabs attached to the boot roof can be pulled to release the seat back locks while standing behind the vehicle, that’s after unlocking the boot electronically with the key fob. Hyundai Active comes with a touchscreen Multimedia System

with 4.3-inch colour display and offers a wide range of connectivity, including USB, AUX, digital iPod, and Bluetooth, and six speakers, including two front tweeters. A 3.5-inch OLED display among the dash instruments shows average fuel consumption, distance to empty, service intervals and a range of vehicle settings. The 2.4-litre Theta-II Gasoline Direct injection (GDi) engine of the Active produces 138 kW of power at 6000 rpm and 241 Nm of torque at 4000rpm, the latter tuned for optimum low-end torque, resulting in improved driveability and take-off.
