The students design, build and race in their vehicles, competing at times against 100 other teams. “From a teaching perspective it is great to be able to step back and become the facilitator in the classroom instead of being the teacher it really allows the student to ‘step up’ to their role,” HPV program co-ordinator Dan Bowen said.

■ Coroner calls for new approach to stop youth suicide...
Suicide cluster By LACHLAN MOORHEAD
1170560-ACM06-15
A CORONER has urged the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) set up a local government framework for suicide prevention following the “cluster“ of youth suicides in Casey and Cardinia in 2011 and 2012. Coroner Audrey Jamieson’s findings into the spate of youth suicides in Melbourne’s south-east were formally released on Friday at an official Department of Health and Human
Services briefing in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. The findings come after the Coroners Prevention Unit (CPU) studied suspected suicide cases and hospitalisation for self-harm among residents of the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire, aged 24 and under, for the period 2007 to 2013. For suspected suicide, the CPU found that compared to previous years the frequency and rate per 100,000
population was elevated in 2011, meeting the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’s definition of a “suicide cluster”. Specifically, six suspected suicides were identified among “usual residents“ of the City of Casey in 2011, compared to one in 2010 and three in 2009. Similarly four suspected suicides were identified among usual residents of Cardinia Shire in 2011 compared to
one in 2010, two in 2009, and none in 2008 and 2007. And in the two years after 2011, while the frequency of suspected suicides was found to have reduced slightly, it remained higher than 2009 and 2010 in both the City of Casey and the Cardinia Shire - with four suspected suicides in 2012 and 2013 for Casey, and three in both 2012 and 2013 for Cardinia. Coroner Jamieson recommended
the MAV, through consultation with Casey Council, develop a suicide prevention and postvention response framework, which “has the ability to take into account various socio-demographic and geographic profiles of individual local government areas”. The increase of youth suicides in Casey and Cardinia saw a community summit held in 2012 at the City of Casey chambers, and was investigated by the ABC’s Four Corners.

Call for thaw in drugs fight By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
Families lose their way in support quagmire
Ice forum panelists Michaela Catanzariti from Ambulance Victoria, Mel Thompson from Waverley Emergency Adolescent Centre, Danielle North from Ambulance Victoria, Hotham MP Clare O'Neil, Maureen Buck from Waverley Emergency Adolescent Centre, Dan Lubman from Turning Point and David Jacka from Monash Health. Under her own steam, she eventually hunted down a Windana support service. Her nephew was in his early thirties and had been on heroin since 16. He’d spent his whole life on drugs, she told the forum. She was fearful of his erratic behaviour during his sleepless nights. She described him breaking in through the back door in search of his mother. When she told him to get off the ice, he went “ber-
The forum heard that the casualties of the “war on drugs” were escalating with more police and paramedics assaulted and traumatised, more users needing medical aid, and desperate family and friends scrambling for help. Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius, who oversees Victoria Police’s southern metropolitan region, said he
Charges over 20 burglaries A DOVETON man has been charged in relation to 20 burglaries carried out in Casey and Dandenong over the past few weeks. Police executed a search warrant at a Phitonia Street property in Doveton on Friday 24 July where they arrested the 46-year-old man.
Drugs seized in home GHB, ecstasy and weapons were seized from a home in Endeavour Hills on Wednesday of last week after a search warrant was executed at the Kennington Park Drive property. A 25-year-old man was currently assisting with police inquiries.

They told her to get help. “The intervention order has now finished because (the police) hadn’t found him for five weeks or so. “He’s still doing it out on the streets. It’s just terrible that these things can happen. “I didn’t expect that would happen to me.” Victoria Police’s Assistant Commissioner Luke
wouldn’t advocate legalising drugs “one way or the other”. Mr Cornelius said police were targeting the supply and manufacturing end of ice, rather than users. But there was also a need for a balanced approach that looked at demandreduction and harm reduction.
Cornelius, one of the panelists and who oversees the southern metropolitan police region, sounded her out after the meeting to follow-up on the “referral issue”. “It’s a terribly tragic thing for aunties and uncles to have to get a referral for a child,” he told the audience in response to the tale. “It’s a last resort. “We know a lot has happened before you come to see us. “The stories are just the
“I’m concerned that ice users are held up for vilification and shunned... when the community should be challenging itself on how do we reach out to those people who need our support,” Mr Cornelius said. “Yes, they can be dangerous. Yes, they can be violent. Somewhere in there is a human being.”

Dr David Jacka, a Monash Health addiction medicine specialist, said the “war on drugs” had made relatively “safer” drugs such as cannabis and ecstasy as “difficult to buy” as ice. “One hundred years ago we started regulating drugs and it’s been a disaster,” he said.

tip of the iceberg and reflect many years of pain, fear and misery.” Earlier in the meeting, he said the police focus was on “referring those users into support services.” Included in that was a strong emphasis on diversion programs. His message for the audience was to seek help from agencies - drug support services as well as emergency services.

FAMILIES and patients are being lost in a “quagmire” of drug support services, a forum on ice was told last Wednesday. Professor Dan Lubman, the director of Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre and a panelist at the Springvale forum, said: “Even those who work in it often don’t know who to call.” “It really is a quagmire.” He questioned why helplines for alcohol and drug issues weren’t as widely publicised as problem gambling services. A heart-wrenching story came from a forum audience member who applied for an intervention order against her ice-addicted nephew. She didn’t know where to turn. When she visited a police station for help or a referral to a drug support service, the “constable” was unable to assist.

THE war on drugs has failed - it’s time for a new approach. Panellists at a forum on the drug ‘ice’ called for a new approach at Springvale Town Hall on Wednesday (29 July) night. Professor Dan Lubman, a Turning Point researcher who has been part of the State Government’s ice taskforce, said it was time to ask what the community can do to address the problem. He said there were “incredibly polarised views” between legalising drugs versus “lock everyone up in prison”. The answer, he said, was “somewhere in the middle”. “We’ve been fighting a war on drugs for 40 to 50 years. “Even though there’s been an incredible investment, there’s been little change in the use of drugs.” He said if illicit drugs were legalised there would be quality control benefits because many people were damaged by ‘dirty’ drugs. On the other hand, alcohol - which was legalised - also caused a massive amount of harm. Prof Lubman cited the case of Portugal which decriminalised drug use, though still punished traffickers, and found, in a “positive sign”, that drug uptake had not increased. Drug and alcohol problems afflicted 10 per cent of the population, he said, but few of them sought treatment, partly due to shame and stigma. Families were afflicted by the same stigma - akin to society’s attitudes to cancer in the past. “Look at the change in that space where people will do anything to raise money for cancer. We have to change the space for drugs.” He said governments had to balance scare campaigns which were aimed at deterring young people from using drugs with messages of hope such as positive recovery stories. Prof Lubman said the most successful interventions in the state’s drug services were with ice users, yet there was “a whole lot of nihilism and pessimism that we can’t do anything about it”.

Men face up to demons By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS HOW is it possible to deliver “success” at a men’s behaviour change program?
LifeWorks Relationship Counselling and Education family violence co-ordinator Margaret Hodge says there is often more work to do for men after they attend the 26-hour course over 13 weeks. She says men are advised to continue their ongoing behaviour change after the course, to work on factors such relationship and communication skills. “We know through any behavioural change process, people may lapse and relapse. “It can take time for them to hold down a respectful relationship.” Ms Hodge instead sets a goal of ensuring the man’s partner feels safe in the relationship, that she has “options”. “There is no clear definition of success - it’s more about how the partner says the man’s behaviour has changed and how safe she feels in the relationship.” During the course, the men’s partners and ex-partners are supported. They are offered support by a women’s contact worker to
ensure that their safety is maintained and referral options explored if it is required. “It keeps the men accountable particularly if we hear about a breach of an intervention order or stalking behaviour,” Ms Hodge said. “It’s up to us to name that, bring that up with the man and to let the police know, or encourage the man to speak to police themselves - this is to demonstrate their accountability and responsibility.” Sue Pratt, a LifeWorks counselling and education manager, said there is a “power of the group” - a type of peer pressure - that helped lead men to take responsibility. At the group, there are male and female co-facilitators modelling respectful behaviour to one another. They also deliver information on how to keep the relationship “safe” and about oldfashioned attitudes such as a misplaced sense of entitlement. The men are taught to regulate their emotions, improve their communication and relationship skills, about the impact of aggression on others and blame-shifting. Her colleague Ms Hodge said men show varying attitudes
towards their self-examination. “There’s a sense of ‘poor men’ - we’re the ones who have to go to court, who have to undergo intervention orders. “We have some men very open and willing to look at themselves. “They are very aware of their behaviour and take responsibility - that is very encouraging to me. “The key to a man’s changing is willingness to make the change. It’s not to blame her all the time but his willingness to consider the impact that his behaviour has on the family. “The common change comes from seeing the way they have been in the past hasn’t been helpful. They have to do something different.” Some men struggle to overcome being raised to believe the father was the dominant household figure. They are confronted when women pursue careers and regard themselves as equals. “They try to implement the same type of structure in their family,” Ms Hodge said. “It’s a huge change for men in their fifties and sixties. After many years of controlling the family, then their status in the family changes.”
LifeWorks staff Sue Pratt and Margaret Hodge say there's no quick fix to changing men's aggressive behaviour at home. 142397
Change call for violence A FAMILY-violence group says men’s behaviour change programs are under-funded in the face of soaring numbers of family violence offenders in the south-east. The outer south-east and outer south metro regions have the longest waiting lists for behaviour change programs in the state - nearly 300 people waiting up to 11 months as of March. In a submission to the state Royal Commission into family violence, the group No to Violence argues for state funding for an extra 1000 program places. The increase would help match the rise in family violence incidents reported to police - up nearly 50 per cent in
Casey since 2010, 25 per cent up in Greater Dandenong and 200 per cent in Cardinia. “Demand pressures will continue to escalate as family violence systems agencies - police, courts, child protection and corrections - continue to improve in their ability to identify, assess and respond to family violence,” No to Violence stated. Under current constraints, only a “very small” number of men on family violence intervention orders are directed to attend a men’s behaviour change program, No to Violence stated. It also argues for the program length to be doubled to six months. “For many men, the journey towards non-violence is long
and difficult, and, unfortunately, there are no ‘quick fixes’. “The work to invite resistant men towards attitudinal, behavioural and personal change is highly specialised and potentially risky if not done carefully.” Sue Pratt, of LifeWorks Relationship Counselling and Education, said magistrates ordering men to enrol was creating “extensive demand”. She said she would be surprised if the coming semester’s course wasn’t filled within three days. LifeWorks family violence co-ordinator Margaret Hodge said course members used to be predominantly voluntary but were now mostly required to attend.

Village principle to raise school children NOBLE Park Primary School supports a diverse community which is typically representative of the City of Greater Dandenong. Nearly 90 per cent of our students come from a non-English speaking background, representing 40 different nationalities. A significant number of our students come from refugee backgrounds so it is both a privilege and responsibility to offer additional support beyond mainstream schooling. To that end, the NPPS staff and community take the attitude that being a school is not enough - we need to present ourselves as a community organisation. The school has all of the standard curriculum offerings to ensure that all students work toward and beyond state-wide benchmarks. However, given the needs of our students and families, we need to provide additional supports, an engaging curriculum and a range of learning and wellbeing alternatives.
COMMUNITY
VOICE
DAVID ROTHSTADT NOBLE PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
The school offers small class sizes with each level of the school boasting an additional support teacher particularly to target the English as an additional language (EAL) students. They work both in the home and in small group situations with these students. As a further support to many of our students from our majority languages - Burmese, Khmer, Vietnamese and Afghan languages - we have multicultural education aides who are native speakers of those languages to support the students in the home room and their families. Many of our students come from countries where literacy is, at least initially, derived from an oral tradition and we must pay attention to that in the
nature of our curriculum delivery. We have adopted a developmental curriculum approach to learning across the entire school which manifests itself in exploratory learning (play-based) in the junior years and then as an inquiry, project-based approach as the children progress through the school. The essence of this approach is children at the centre of their learning with teachers building on their experiences at their point of need. Children reflect on their learning and what they need to know with a myriad of opportunities to talk about their progress and presentation of their work in a variety of ways. All of our learning programs are predicated on the notion that additional adults and mentors working with students is beneficial. The following programs are designed to offer enrichment and alternative modalities for learning. In most cases these are supported by partnerships the school has ac-
tively pursued to maximise the use of community resources in the form of donations and in particular volunteer help. All of these programs are supportive of diverse learning needs, provide creative responses to learning English and they build social capital. - Hooked on Books stemmed from our partnership with the Rotary Club of Noble Park, a great supporter of our school. Volunteers come into the school to hear students read with students experiencing difficulty with their reading and those least likely to have someone to read to at home being targeted. Our volunteers come from Rotary, Probus, the corporate sector and more recently students from Noble Park Secondary College. - The Kitchen Garden program, supported by a philanthropic grant, offers rich experiential learning. Students work in the garden on their designated day and produce a
meal largely from our locally-grown produce. - Enhanced Learning is an out-ofhours program supported by volunteers and finance from NAB. Enhanced Learning targets students who might be disengaged from school, need to build self-esteem or would simply benefit from additional learning. Students work on projectbased skills in an eight-week program to produce a performance piece or artefact. - Future Foundations is an artsbased program which focuses on artistic students and engages them in a 14-week program based at the school on Saturday mornings. It is also important to mention just some of the programs which support families, including our two play groups, women’s group, adult English and vocational classes. Everything we do at Noble Park Primary School is predicated on the notion that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’.

The women of this town are doing splendid work and are in need of funds. More workers come each week and the supply of material is not adequate. They are in danger of being refused material on going to the Red Cross room. The men of Dandenong and district should see that there is sufficient money available to enable the work to be carried on. It is thought that £15 a week is needed -

Casey's pokie losses have taken a steep climb. EFTPOS withdrawals. He said it was possible for problem gamblers to draw out $200 a time without a limit on the number of transactions. “Under the new system, you could take out $200 a minute if you wanted to.” He said the State Government’s trial of voluntary precommitment in 14 venues was “as good as useless” at protecting problem gamblers. “Almost no one uses it,” he said. “If you do use it, all it does is tell you that you have reached your (gambling) limit without any other implications. “The gambler can over-ride it. It’s like a snooze button.” Dr Livingstone said mandatory pre-commitment which stopped gamblers from betting beyond their pre-determined daily limit, as well as reducing maximum bets to $1, would be more effective.
His suggested reforms were endorsed by Greens South East Metopolitan MP Nina Springle. “These figures are shocking and show the need for meaningful action,” Ms Springle said. “The government’s voluntary plan won’t ever work and they know it. “Their own budget papers show pokie machine revenue growing this financial year, which is a clear concession that their voluntary scheme won’t help gaming addicts.” Gaming Minister Jane Garrett said the voluntary scheme was “one of the tools” people could use to stay in control of their gambling. “The government shares the community’s concerns around the impact of gambling and electronic gaming machines. “We are committed to reducing gambling related harm in the community.”
‘I’m innocent’ says dumped Somyurek SMALL Business, Innovation and Trade Minister Adem Somyurek has resigned after an inquiry dismissed his denials of intimidating his staff. On Tuesday, Mr Somyurek - who is a Dandenong-based South Eastern Metropolitan MP - said his resignation shouldn’t be taken as an admission of guilt over allegations by his chiefof-staff Dimity Paul. “I maintain my innocence,” Mr Somyurek said. He said the inquiry had not found him engaging in “abusive, threatening, intimidating, aggressive and inappropriate“ conduct that put his staff’s health and safety at risk. “I’m happy to report that (the) inquiry clears me of these allegations.” Mr Somyurek characterised the allegations as “payback“ from the union, the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association. - CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
ing pre-dawn raids throughout Casey on 18 April. Following a tip-off from British police, a 200-strong joint state and federal police counter-terrorism team executed seven search warrants in Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Hallam and Eumemmerring as part of Operation Rising. Police alleged Azami was the weapons supplier for two other Casey teenagers charged following the raids - 18-yearolds Harun Causevic and Sevdet Ramadan Besim. Causevic, of Hampton Park, was refused bail at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 8 May
and detained along with Besim, of Hallam. They are due to return to court in August. Last week the News reported that a 15-year-old boy from Britain had pleaded guilty to one count of inciting another person to carry out an attack at a service in Australia. Authorities dropped a second charge of inciting terrorism overseas in relation to beheading a person in Australia. Police arrested the boy in April after intercepting encrypted conversation allegedly with an 18-year-old man in Australia.

Teen pleads guilty over weapons charges linked to Anzac Day plot A NARRE Warren teen has pleaded guilty to weapons charges over weapons charges linked to an Anzac Day arrack.

Pokies limit is ‘useless’ AN ANTI-POKIES academic says a $6 million-plus rise in annual pokie losses in Casey is a sign that pokie venues have “learnt to better exploit” their machines. Dr Charles Livingstone, a public-health lecturer at Monash University, also slammed the State Government’s imminent trial of voluntary pre-commitment gambling limits as “useless” for problem gamblers. According to government statistics, $119.4 million was lost in Casey poker machines in 2014-15 - more than $2 million a week. In neighbouring Greater Dandenong, losses rose by nearly $7 million to $117 million. Dr Livingstone said venues had learnt to “exploit” their machines better after assuming control when Tatts and Tabcorp were “shown the door” in 2012. “They are moving the machines to greater disadvantage - that’s where we’re seeing the greater concentration.” Despite regional caps on pokies numbers, Cranbourne - with five venues - has the greatest pokies concentration in Casey. Dr Livingstone said ATM withdrawal limits in venues were being circumvented by

COUNCILLOR Matthew Kirwan prepared several questions for last week’s council meeting after this column noted a drop in his usual steady stream of queries. “I hope tonight will be considered a return to form,” he told the meeting. He tied the knot with Jenny Frieden on 4 July and shared this photo from their big day, taken by Peter Ingamells. “IT’S good to see another Memeti making headlines instead of me,” councillor and former mayor Jim declared at last week’s council meeting. His cousin Mersim appeared in a sports pointer on the front page of the Journal on 27 July. He said the 15-year-old was on his way to becoming a professional soccer player and asked Mayor Sean O’Reilly to send him a letter of congratulations and encouragement. COUNCILLOR Maria Sampey revealed she found solace at the YWCA as a teen, during debate about the Albanian Eagles Youth Centre and Genuine Gym application last week. She played billiards at the church-based group. “It used to keep me off the street!“ she said. WOULD you like to see the council’s Australia Day Festival roam the municipality?

Email journal@ starnewsgroup.com.au or visit www.facebook.com/DandenongJournal to share your thoughts. PERHAPS lunch was on the mind of a certain police prosecutor. Why else would he continually refer to a person in court as Ragu when their name is Rousset? HANDY advice came from one of the region’s top cops to a drug forum at Springvale Town Hall. The number one crime on the books remains theft from motor vehicles, he said “so can I ask, have all of you locked your vehicles?“ There was a round of nervous laughter as audience members glanced out to the dimlylit car park.

A RENOWNED mental health and addiction service officially opened its doors in Casey last Wednesday. While it’s been operational for roughly six month, EACH Social and Community Health formally opened its new centre in Narre Warren in the same building where Headspace launched just a few weeks ago. EACH’s services will now be extended into south-east Melbourne with Wednesday’s official launch of the new Narre Warren site while connected group Substance Use Recover (SURe) is now also offering its services in Cranbourne. In the next 10 years the population of Cardinia Shire is projected to grow by 60 per cent while the City of Casey is expected to grow by 26 per cent. Following the Welcome to Country carried out by Aunty Carolyn Briggs, a range of guest speakers shared their stories with the room, including EACH participant Aisha, SURe participant Katharina, and Beyondblue ambassador Tony Wynd. EACH CEO Peter Ruzyla also spoke to guests, noting how the south-east catchment had been identified as a growth corridor with increasing needs for services. “Alcohol and drug use are often co-occurring conditions along with mental health, trauma, gambling, poor physical health, crime and poor quality of life,” Mr Ruzyla said. “The sites will provide individualised outreach services to consumers, assisting with their recovery journey.” EACH’s programs provide a tailored approach to meet the indi-

Expenses on the radar yearly budget to enable parliamentarians to communicate with their constituents. “In July 2014 Anthony Byrne MP undertook an electorate wide survey and mail-out via Australia Post to all 55,000 households in the electorate of Holt to seek their views on issues of importance to them and any actions that could be taken to assist them with federal matters,” they said. “We had a response rate of 10 per cent, which was one of the highest survey response rates for federal MPs in the country.” Mr Byrne also claimed $18,068 for 32 flights in this period. He is also the Deputy Chair of the Statutory Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security and a member of the Standing Committee on Petitions.
By DANI ROTHWELL and KATHRYN BERMINGHAM FEDERAL Parliamentary Speaker Bronwyn Bishop is known to be partial to the odd helicopter flight, but another local politician has less controversial expenditures. During July to December in 2014, Holt MP Mr Byrne was one of the highest spending politicians in the region, claiming $203,875.90 in entitlements to run his office and complete his duties as a member of parliament. Mr Byrne’s biggest distribution expense was $30,407 on a mail-out to constituents in July 2014. Comparatively, the next biggest spend on a distribution by a local politician was $18,708 by Hotham MP Clare O’Neil. A spokesperson for Mr Byrne said that each parliamentary office was given a fixed

Greens MP slams Crestani’s Reclaim rally role Crestani said: “Freedom of religion does not mean we accept the fundamental ideas of Islam, which do not allow for other religions. So that is why Islam needs reforming or it needs to leave Australia”. South Eastern Metropolitan state Greens MP Nina Springle said Cr Crestani should be “condemned” for participating in the rally on behalf of Reclaim Australia.
By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A GREENS MP has slammed Casey councillor Rosalie Crestani for her involvement in last month’s Reclaim Australia rally. Cr Crestani was the MC for the Reclaim Australia city rally on Saturday 18 July, which turned violent when anti-Islam and antiracism groups attempted to clash across police lines. Addressing the rally, Cr
“Given the great contribution that generations of migrants have made to Australia, it is sad that Cr Crestani saw fit to participate in this way,” Ms Springle said. “Her participation must be condemned in the strongest terms. “Fear and misunderstanding are the enemies of Australia’s peaceful, harmonious and multicultural way of life.”
Ms Springle said the Reclaim Australia movement “encourages racism and fear of difference.” “All political leaders - including local councillors - should be protecting their communities from vilification and isolation,” she said. “Leaders should be helping people to overcome their misplaced fears about different cultures and religions.”
Cr Crestani hit back at the comments, claiming Ms Springle was showing “gross ignorance”. “Why would a daughter of an immigrant support Reclaim if she didn’t feel strongly about wanting security and safety in Australia?” Cr Crestani said. “And that’s what my presence there was for. “And if she (Ms Springle) did her homework, she would see half the at-
tendees were migrants, they just want Australia to be free from terrorism and free from the effects of Marxism and to maintain our culture.” Cr Crestani distanced herself and Reclaim Australia from the extreme right-wing protesters. Casey mayor Mick Morland said Cr Crestani’s views were not the council’s but that she was free to front the rally.
IN BRIEF Car torched A HOLDEN Commodore sedan was torched on the nature strip between Rebecca Street and the Monash Freeway on Sunday. The 2004 model was valued at around $10,000 and was stolen from an address in Mooroolbark on Thursday 23 July and set alight between the sound barriers in Doveton. The entire car was engulfed in the blaze and police believe the fire was started from inside the car. CFA extinguished the blaze and police urge anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Gas car crash A WOMAN has been rushed to Dandenong Hospital after a car ploughed through the rear of a chemist shop this afternoon. CFA units are on scene conducting “air monitoring” after reports of a gas leak following the crash, which occurred just before 3.30pm on Princes Domain Drive. The woman was taken to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition.

IN 2015 more than 12 million Australians are expected to lodge a tax return and the Australian Tax Office will probably have to contact more than 350,000 of them to correct mistakes. These ate the ATO’s top tips for getting tax right the first time. Preparing tax returns has never been easier than with online lodgement service, myTax. It only asks questions relevant to the person lodging and automatically includes information provided by employers, banks, government agencies and other third parties. This year people who lodge electronically will re-
ceive their notice of assessment and tax receipt straight to their myGov inbox. Now myTax is available through the ATO app. It can be used to track the progress of a return and see how quickly a tax debt can be paid off with a payment plan. The ATO app is available for download via the Apple App Store, Google play and the Windows Phone Store. Each year, the ATO is given more than 600 million pieces of data by employers, banks, government agencies and other third parties to pre-fill tax returns. For many people, this means all they have to do is
double-check the information the ATO has pre-filled for them, enter any deductions they have and then hit submit. The ATO wants to make sure that no-one misses out on the deductions that they are entitled to which is why it has put together some easy to understand guides on the most common deductions so everyone can work out what they can and cannot claim. They include items such as vehicle and travel expenses, including travel between work and home, clothing, laundry and dry-cleaning expenses, gifts and donations, home office expenses, interest, dividend and other
investment income deductions, self-education expenses, tools, equipment and other assets. Omitting income is the most common mistake the ATO sees on tax returns. It is important to report all income, including pay from second jobs, foreign income, bank interest and any government payments. Many of the other common mistakes are easy to avoid. By simply checking that tax return details are complete and correct will avoid any unnecessary delays. Some common errors to avoid include supplying an incorrect TFN, spelling er-
rors in your name, supplying incorrect bank account details, providing the year of birth rather than the full date of birth, not completing the income test and/ or spouse details, lodging duplicate returns for the same year, incorrectly using the additional information schedule. Although the ATO wants to make sure no-one misses out on their deductions, it will also be on the lookout for those trying to claim more than they are entitled to. This year the ATO is focusing on unusually high work-related expense claims across all industries and occupations.

PEOPLE who are on immunosuppressant medication are at increased risk of skin cancer. Quite a lot of people need to take long term immunosuppressant medicines such as Cyclosporin or corticosteroids. They are people who have chronic rheumatological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus, for example. People who have had kidney, heart or lung transplants are another example. These very necessary medicines, unfortunately, have the side effect of increasing the risk of skin cancers on the sun exposed skin. It is thus recommended that people on these medications have a routine skin check every six to 12 months and report any changing or rapidly growing skin lesion to the doctor promptly. For further information contact Sun Patrol Clinic, 48 Van Der Haar Avenue, Berwick. Phone 9769 3358.
DR LOUIS Loizou isn’t vein but he sure knows about them. Phlebologist Dr Loizou has been running Vein Solutions in Narre Warren for the past 15 years and has been treating all types of vein abnormalities for more than two decades. “I provide treatment for abnormal leg veins of all types from spiderveins to varicose veins and leg ulcers,” Dr Loizou said. “I provide minimally invasive leg vein treatments requiring no hospitalisation, no general anaesthetic - virtually back to work immediately. “What makes Vein Solutions different is that we offer basically walk in and walk out procedures that are proven to be very effective negating the need for hospitalisation.” Vein Solution also offers a discount to pensioners and health care card holders. The focus of the business, according to Dr Loizou is leg veins that are abnormal including spider veins and varicose veins. “We provide a full comprehensive assessment which includes investigation with Duplex Scanning,” he said. The doctor has been treating leg veins for 24 years and been a board member of the main credentialing body - the Australasian College of Phlebology for 16 years - holding the vicepresident role and is current the honorary secretary.
Dr Louis Loizou of Vein Solutions Medical Clinic is now located at the Narre Warren Specialist Centre

COVER STORY
INSPIRED TO THE FUTURE|3-5 SERENE WAY, BERWICK WATERS ESTATE, CLYDE NORTH
INSPIRED Homes is leading the way with a new wave of virtual technology. The introduction of the Inspired Homes Virtual Tour Headset allows would-be buyers to take a full 360-degree visual record of the company’s display homes to revisit at any time. Buyers simply need to load the Inspired Homes Virtual Tour on their smartphone, slip it into the Inspired headset and they are ready to revisit their favourite Inspired display home. The Inspired Homes Virtual Tour offers an experience which is second only to physically being inside the display homes. Portability of the headset allows buyers to show their families and friends through the Inspired designs anytime, anywhere. They will no longer be limited to viewing only the homes that are available on display because Inspired Homes will also be adding virtual tours of other popular designs that can
also be inspected. Being at the cutting edge is what this company is all about as demonstrated with the introduction of the Inspired Homes Creator Tool which was introduced in 2007. Available on the Inspired Homes website, this interactive tool uses a modular system that separates Inspired Homes designs into three modules. Modules can be mixed and matched to start the creative process for buyers’ own unique designs. Once again Inspired Homes has been busy thinking outside the square to provide a unique and refreshing approach to new homes. Visit Inspired Homes to walk through the designs on display and experience first-hand the Inspired Homes Virtual Tour! Inspired Homes display is at 3-5 Serene Way, Berwick Waters Estate, Clyde North.

DANDENONG NORTH features spacious bedrooms and living room, gas heating and cooking, all in a handy location with schools, local shops, Oasis swimming complex all within walking distance, and a bus stop at the front door.
This would be an ideal first home or investment with dual occupancy potential on 580 square metres. It is squeaky clean and well maintained with nothing to do so the new owners would be able to move straight in and renovate at their leisure or rent straight out. Sitting on a level block, this site would be ideal to either retain the existing home and build behind or knockdown and redevelop the whole site either now or in the future. However it could also be suited for medical or business purposes, subject to council approval, with its excellent main road exposure. This comfortable three bedroom home

NEW HOMES & LAND
BUILDING FRANCHISE OPENS IN SOUTH EAST Ross Morley, the head of Victoria and Tasmania for GJ Gardner Homes, believes that the balance of first home buyers as well as second and third home owners in the Melbourne south-east area suits the varied GJ Gardner Homes offerings. “While we have some simple, standard designs, our builds often incorporate a certain amount of customisation on most clients’ homes, especially those clients that have owned or built a home previously. “They know what they want and we like to accommodate.” “The City of Casey is the eighth fastestgrowing municipality in Australia and the third fastest-growing municipality in Victoria. GJ Gardner Homes is at the forefront of design and quality and the Melbourne south east franchise will be servicing this community and its surroundings for many years to come,” Mr Morley said. “Luke and Andrew, each with more than 16 years of experience in the building industry, bring a wealth of residential building knowledge and great friendly, practical customer service to their clients,” Mr Morley said. Anyone who is interested in talking with the Melbourne south east team about their next home building project can feel free to visit the office at Unit 2, 260-276 Abbotts Road, Dandenong South, or phone the office to make an appointment with Luke O’Connor on 0427 538 355.
SS19-15-RMB
Franchised homebuilder GJ Gardner Homes is excited to welcome the latest addition to its Victorian operations with the opening of its Melbourne south east branch today (Monday) in Dandenong South. The owners of the new franchise, Luke O’Connor and Andrew Timms, are excited to be able to continue to develop highquality affordable homes with the GJ Gardner Homes banner in the Casey and Greater Dandenong area. The building duo have a combined experience of 33 years in the building industry. Luke is a registered builder with 17 years’ experience in estimating and site management and previously as a carpenter and joiner. Andrew has 16 years of residential and commercial experience in estimating and site management. The Melbourne south east team is experienced in new homes, multi-unit sites, knockdown rebuilds, house and land, turnkey construction, townhouses and sloping blocks. “The area itself has a very diverse range of residents,” Mr Timms said. “It’s a multicultural area and has a diverse range of economic standing. “Our market is the full spectrum from first and second home buyers all the way through to higher-end inner city properties. “We work with our clients to suit their needs and budget,” Mr Timms said.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Talent spotting is target By CASEY NEILL
Professor Geoff Brooks said Dandenong was a city of makers.
“THE battle for manufacturing is as much a battle for talented people as anything else.” This was the key message from guest speaker Professor Geoff Brooks at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Premier Regional Business Awards breakfast at Sandown Greyhounds on 29 July. He said many talented students eyed medicine or law studies. “We need to convince them to follow this path,” he said. Prof Brooks co-ordinates and develops manufacturingrelated research and education across Swinburne University of Technology and is a metallurgy expert. He spoke about the future
directions of manufacturing. Prof Brooks graduated as an engineer in 1983 and “got the research bug” a few years later. He drove to Melbourne University and approached the engineering faculty about a PhD. They asked what he knew about metallurgy and he was soon on his way to visit John Floyd in Kitchen Road, Dandenong. “The technology developed in Kitchen Road, Dandenong, is used in smelting around the world,” he said. “John Floyd had an enormous impact on my career.” Prof Brooks listed ways to turn around Australian manufacturing, including a shift to higher-value products and services, adapting existing
strengths to new circumstances and linking manufacturing to innovation. He said innovation was about making the most of new materials and technology, business models and approaches, and novel designs and products. Prof Brooks said the digitisation of design had enabled testing in virtual environments, speeding up the prototyping process, and rapid sharing that removed borders. “I don’t think we’ve fully recognised the potential of it,” he said. He said technology also made finding specialised skills and new ideas easier than ever before. “That’s a huge benefit of the world we’re living in at the moment,” he said.
Prof Brooks urged guests to take inspiration from the late Steve Jobs’s efforts at Apple. “Make the consumer experience the heart of how you develop a product,” he said. Vacuum developer James Dyson set out to remove the word hoovering from the world’s vocabulary, vowing to make a better product. Prof Brooks said this was an example of determination to follow through on a clever idea. He also paraphrased 2012 Young Australian of the Year Marita Cheng who said the country needed to encourage children to become makers, not just consumers. “You’re a city of makers and you should be very, very proud of that,” he said.
Jump in for the best ideas YOUNG entrepreneurs can jump into a Berwick Shark Tank to pitch their best ideas. Casey Cardinia Region has invited 15 to 21-year-olds to share an idea that could change the world. Four successful applicants will take part in a shark tank-style event at the Tech-Innovation and Entrepreneurship Expo on Saturday 15 August. They’ll face local entrepreneurs who are eager to help them reach their goals and will receive publicity and mentoring from event sponsors. Simon Maselli from Pakenham business MetamorphCG helped to organise the contest.
“Earlier this year we put together an ‘engaging local business’ event,” he said. “What we’ve all recognised is the business community, particularly in this region, isn’t as well engaged as say, a metropolitan region. “We got together four entrepreneurs from the region and they just got up and told their story. “The thing that we really wanted them to get across was that being an entrepreneur is tough and you can’t really do it on your own. “Here in Australia we seem to be competing against each other rather than collaborating.
“Instead of making the entire pie bigger, we’re more worried about our little slice of the pie.” Mr Maselli said about 20 people attended the event and organisers approached Casey Cardinia Region about running another one. The region suggested combining it with an expo during Casey Cardinia Business Week. “Through those discussions Shark Tank idea came up,” Mr Maselli said. “We really think that’s going to cap off a fantastic event.” Entrepreneurs need to submit a written applica-
tion and have the option of adding a three to five minute video of their idea. Visit metabiz.com.au/ blog/shark-tank for more information. The Tech-Innovation and Entrepreneurship Expo will be held in the auditorium at the Chisholm Institute Berwick Campus, 25 Kangan Drive, Berwick, from 11am to 2pm. Visit tech-innovation. eventbrite.com.au by Monday 3 August to book. Phone Lydia Ropiha at the City of Casey on 9705 5125 for more information. - CASEY NEILL

Manufacturing lobby group push to spread wings into south-east THE region’s manufacturing mouthpiece plans to grow its non-Dandenong membership. South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) held its AGM at Sandown Racecourse on Thursday 30 July. President Simon Whitely told the 150-strong crowd that SEMMA had about 200 member companies, only 40 per cent based in Dandenong. “With support from a number of regional councils we are seeking to reposition SEMMA beyond the boundaries of our historical Dandenong base, with the ambition to unite the manufacturing sector of the entire region,” he said. Executive officer Adrian Boden encouraged members to inform SEMMA of the issues they were facing and possible solutions. “I am always ready to meet with any company looking to extend its network,” he said. “Between our companies, we have an incredibly diverse range of capabilities and technologies that could only benefit from more collaboration.
ART COMPETITION - CALL FOR ENTRIES It’s FREE. It’s DIFFERENT. It’s open to EVERYONE. Register your interest by 7 August 2015 (entries close 4 September) Wallara’s ‘Picture This’ 2015 art competition is now calling for entries. The competition is open to all members of the community: all ages and all walks of life. Entrants don’t need to be the best artist, they just need to get creative and paint, draw or produce a piece of artwork which depicts their interpretation of social inclusion for people with a disability.
SEMMA executive officer Adrian Boden and president Simon Whiteley. 142505 Mr Boden said SEMMA was in the past year instrumental in securing a bi-partisan preelection commitment to 50 per cent local content in Victorian trains and trams. SEMMA doubled its presence at this year’s AusTech expo during National Manufacturing Week, hosting 13 manufacturers plus City of Greater Dandenong, CSIRO and Swinburne. It took part in automotive industry discussions and continued to advocate for the Port of Hastings. “This whole region is a sig-
nificant player in that sector and we have to think 20, 25 years ahead, not five to six years ahead,” Mr Boden said. SEMMA is speaking out against the State Government’s two new public holidays - on Easter Sunday and Grand Final Eve - after surveying members. “We can only see a negative. We cannot see a positive in this,” he said. SEMMA also announced new deals for members from Nissan and 1st Contact Foreign Exchange at the event.
There will be two winners and their winning artworks will transform two of Wallara’s fleet of buses. A cheque for $250 will also be awarded to each of the winners. Entry is free. For more information or to download the registration and entry forms, please visit our website at http://www.wallara.com.au or contact ‘Picture This’ Art Competition Co-ordinator, Kay Noy on (03) 9767 3322 or email knoy@wallara.com.au.

Heart’s in land of hope
Snow stopper MORE than 30,000 people flocked to Springvale Snow Fest - almost 10,000 above predicted numbers. But there’s room for improvement, Mayor Sean O’Reilly said at last Monday night’s City of Greater Dandenong council meeting. He said festival-goer feedback was that the snow trucked in from Mt Bulla didn’t meet their expectations. “If we’re advertising a snow fest, the snow’s got to be good,” he said. “If you’re running a pizza shop the pizza has to be good. The pasta doesn’t have to be good.” Councillor O’Reilly suggested selling timeslots rather than entry tokens next year to cut down on queuing.
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS PHOTOJOURNALIST Barat Ali Batoor, who has chronicled hot-spots in Afghanistan and Pakistan, was surprised by what he found in, of all places, Nhill. In a matter of days, Batoor immersed himself into the world of a Burmese Karen refugee community that has injected “new life” into the rural town. He captured portraits of refugees settling with success - farming vegetables, toiling in a duck factory, learning at school and “the most colourful citizenship ceremony I’ve seen”. “I was thinking it would be a new community struggling to find work but I was surprised to see they’re doing very great. “They’re a very important part of the Nhill community and were warmly welcomed.” Batoor said 70 of the refugees were in full-time work as well as more employed as rangers at Werribee Mansion. Batoor’s works are part of settlement agency AMES’s 2015 Heartlands photographic exhibition Seeking Safety which opens in Dandenong on 6 August. It also features images of refugees captured by Abdul Ibrahim, Conor Ashleigh and Andy Drewitt. Batoor has recently returned from Pakistan where he has been shooting a documentary retracing his extraordinary journey from Afghanistan as a refugee. “It is a hard and dangerous journey. I’m finding some other stories, meeting many people affected by terrorism and bomb blasts.” In 2012 Batoor fled for his life from Afghanistan after bravely exposing the under-reported prostitution of ‘dancing boys’ by the nation’s warlords in an artfully-shot picture essay. Other photo essays have documented the Hazara community in Dandenong, a
IN BRIEF
Show helpers An image from Heartlands, an upcoming exhibition on refugee communities. Picture: BARAT ALI BATOOR Red Cross program for amputees in Afghanistan, the monstrous 2010 floods in Pakistan and local reaction to Osama Bin Laden’s assassination outside his formerly secret compound. He also took Walkely-winning photos of his treacherous epic journey through south-east Asia, including an aborted trip to Christmas Island in a sinking boat and an escape from an Indonesian detention centre. He plans to complete the project with
a trip to Indonesia this year. AMES chief executive Cath Scarth said the exhibition aimed to create a “conversation about our perceptions of refugees”. “I think it should remind people that many of us living here in Australia, at some point, came from somewhere else,” he said. The exhibition is at Walker Street Gallery on the corner of Walker and Robinson streets, Dandenong, from 6 to 31 August.
Barat Ali Batoor has taken his focus away from the world’s hot spots.
THE Dandenong Show needs men. Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s Margaret Weightman is calling for volunteers to help her set up displays in the days leading up to the show which is on 14 and 15 November. “I need help with the heavy things,” she said. Phone 0408 387 126 or email mweightman1@bigpond.com to offer help.

ALBANIAN Eagles Youth Centre is set to move to a bigger home after Greater Dandenong councillors voted down council planners’ parking concerns. At a council meeting on Monday night last week, more than 200 of the centre’s supporters packed the gallery. Jemal Abazi, a successful businessman who runs and funds the Dandenong South centre, was frustrated with council planners after 18 months of hold-ups. “I think the council (officers) realised the councillors will go for it and met us in the middle. “Obviously if you can’t come up with solutions and then come up with something in one day - I question what they are doing there. “If (the applicant) was someone else other than me, the (proposal) would have collapsed and died. That’s the sad situation.” At the meeting, councillor Roz Blades led an alternative motion in support of the centre moving several hundred metres, to 25-27 Bryants Road, Dandenong South. Cr Blades said the centre was an “essential use”, which provided a place “that felt like a
family” for young people. She said the council’s strong youth team couldn’t “do it on our own”. “We need people who are nurtured, who have somewhere to go. “They’re our future.” Cr Peter Brown said more parking would be available at an adjacent lot owned by applicant Jemal Abazi. He noted the area was zoned for light industry, so would have less impact on neighbouring residents. Cr Loi Truong called for council funding for the centre which has cost about $700,000 over the past four years without any government money. In opposition, Cr Matthew Kirwan said permit conditions, which limited the centre to 50 patrons and staff as well as closing times of 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 10pm on other days, were not strict enough to protect neighbours. Cr John Kelly said he opposed the permit because of a lack of parking, though “everyone around this table appreciates the good work Jemal is doing”. A council planners’ report recommended rejecting the permit due to a lack of parking and excessive noise for
neighbouring residents. Two objections were lodged against the proposal; one of them was a resident living directly opposite. The centre, currently in a cramped warehouse at 11 Bryants Road, offers gym equipment, arcade games, a pool table and table tennis table. Healthy hot food cooked by volunteers is also available. Mr Abazi told the Journal last week that the proposed larger centre would allow for separate sections for males and females to work-out, as well as extra pool and table tennis tables. It will also help entertain the overflow of visitors who mill outside the current centre’s front door. “I try to hold them here for as long as I can. We tire them out so they end up just going home,” Mr Abazi said last week. “Before this centre opened, we had a huge problem with drugs, hooning, alcohol, family issues - ice is the biggest. “You saw kids identify themselves with young people going to jail. “I said to myself we have to do something about this. There are now so many success stories.”

Hot seats as the Hotplate heats up By GEORGIA WESTGARTH ON TUESDAY last week Casey's famous fishy restaurant Wings and Fins will take to the screen for the first episode of Channel Nine’s new culinary series, Hotplate. The seafood restaurant located at the Tooradin airport prides itself on its fresh Flinders Island crayfish. Now, head chef Lozz and owner/manager Nols have also taken centre stage. Nols, a bank manager of 25 years turned restaurateur,
has been dubbed ‘Australia’s fussiest eater’ but said filming the show was a “fantastic experience”. The exposure is already filling tables and leading to selfies with fans. “People were under the impression Wings and Fins had closed down, but even with the ads (for the TV show) we have gone from Saturday night bookings of 13 people to being booked out most weekends - but it hasn’t been all about the series, a lot of blood
sweat and tears over two and a half years has gone into it,” Nols said. After managing the Caldermeade Farm Cafe for more than four years, Nols bought the seafood restaurant and set about building its reputation once more. To snag a table at Wings and Fins phone 5998 3600 and be sure to order a Nols simple palate special - she recommends the no frills Flinders Island crayfish and the Nolzy stuffed chicken breast.

Clydesdale hits an Opals’ stride By JARROD POTTER SOMETIMES reality can exceed even your wildest dreams. Earning an Australian Opals’ debut at her Dandenong Basketball Stadium home-court on Monday night was beyond belief for Endeavour Hills’ basketballer Aimie Clydesdale. Clydesdale, 21, is in the midst of a year beyond compare as she goes from strength to strength wherever she is assigned, including her first national senior selection. Earning her Australian Opals call-up, after impressively battling the rest of the world at the World Uni Games in South Korea last month, Clydesdale’s inaugural campaign with the country’s senior women’s team was a resounding success. She featured in all three clashes against Japan - held in Dandenong, Frankston and Ballarat recently - as the Opals claimed the series 2-1. “It was a great experience - something that I was really happy to be a part of,” Clydesdale said. “Got to make my first debut game for the Opals on my home court, so it was really amazing. “It was a real honour - the Opals don’t play in Australia very often, so I was really lucky to get that opportunity and the home crowd gave me a big welcome… I was really happy to be a part of it.” It all comes back to that first step on court Monday - her court ever since starting out as a junior Ranger - as Clydesdale was subbed in to join the elite pantheon of Australian Opals representatives. “Probably just my first call up onto the court
for my first game,” Clydesdale said. “We were playing 14 players so I wasn’t sure when I was going to hit the court or if I was going to hit the court. “When I made my first sub into the game I think that was probably a really special moment for me - I was a bit nervous about it but really excited as well.” It adds yet another layer to an impressive year for the pacey point-guard, but it’s all driven by her tenacious appetite to improve. “It’s been a massive year for me - it’s what you wait for, you put all the hard work in, in hope that something like this is going to happen… I feel really luck that I was asked to be part of the Opals’ squad… from that moment on it’s all gone upwards and will only keep going upwards,” Clydesdale said. “I’ve just got to keep on top of it - keep working hard - and hopefully have a really good WNBL season… we’ll see what happens from there.” Australian Opals’ coach Brendan Joyce said he wanted to promote Clydesdale quickly through the ranks as she has the potential to become a major part of Australia’s basketball future. “We’ve identified that she has some really good physical traits and good basketball skill, so we really wanted to involve her and expose her to an opportunity at the World Uni Games and also the Opals’ camps to expedite her development,” Joyce said. “She’s done a really good job - we are certainly about exposing players not only for now but for the future. “Aimie is very quick and she’s got a good in-
Awards highlight region By JARROD POTTER STARTING a new tradition of awarding our sporting best, the City of Greater Dandenong’s first annual Sports Awards highlighted how many great sportspeople and administrators the region holds. Bringing together Dandenong’s sports community - from football, cricket, athletics, rugby league and many other codes - the region celebrated the brilliant achievements of athletes, clubs and volunteers throughout 2014. Announcing the winners on Wednesday evening at Shepley Oval, Dandenong’s finest were acknowledged after an extensive nomination process. Taking out the major awards for athletes were Sifan Badada (Springvale Little Athletics Club), Dandenong Women’s cricketer Carin Eastburn and Lifestyle Martial Arts rising star Aaliyah Corles. Michael Selio (South East Titans RLC) was named Dandenong’s coach of the year for his work in rugby league, with Catherine Green highly commended for her work at Koala Gymnastics. Others to impress came from Noble Park as the Tennis Club’s SAIL Project, helping encourage Sudanese immigrants and the Bulls’ under-13 team winning the 2014 South East Juniors premiership.

Stingrays’ talent goes deep By JARROD POTTER EIGHT Dandenong Stingrays have been handpicked by AFL recruiters to test at the prestigious AFL National Draft Combine later this year. Needing at least five AFL clubs to show an interest to get a nomination, the Stingrays’ stars are part of the 75 best prospects for this year’s draft. The combine is the final scouting tool available to AFL clubs ahead of October’s national draft and the Stingrays’ eight will be assessed based on endurance, speed, jumping capability, kicking, handballing and psychometric evaluations. Beaconsfield Football Club in particular is extremely well represented with 2014 Casey Cardinia premiership winning pair Brandon White and Thomas Jok earning selection on the back of exceptional work in the Vic Country, TAC Cup and schoolboys systems. The other two Eagles set to soar at the combine are national champions Tommy Glen and Bailey Rice. Three All Australians - Keiran Collins, Jacob Weitering and ruckman Gach Nyuon - were part of the final 75 as well as fellow national championships winner Kurt Mutimer. Dandenong Stingrays’ region manager Mark Wheeler said it was proof positive of the Stingrays’ exceptional list to get eight members into this select group. “As a club we’re extremely happy,” Wheeler said. “To have eight out of one club - we always thought we had a strong year and always thought a really deep list and it’s proving that. “They’ve all done the work and now it’s just about finishing it off.” Gippsland Power had five make the shortlist with Warragul twins Ben and Harry McKay

The Burra’s new game plan By JARROD POTTER SFL DIVISION 2 - Round 15 ADJUSTING to life without two preeminent pieces of their potential premiership puzzle, Keysborough managed to knock off a fast-starting Springvale Districts to record win number 13. Without star forward Tyson King and club cult hero Corey Wilkinson, Keysborough has to rearrange the decks and find new options in its pursuit of an inaugural SFL finals’ campaign. While the side had trouble starting afresh without the power-packed tandem, there was more than enough firepower from a team-wide performance to boot 20 goals and ease home against Springvale Districts. The first quarter was played on the Demons’ terms for the first 15 minutes as the efforts of Rob Johnston and Dylan Bramble made life in the Keysborough forward line difficult. Districts’ Luke Morrey (3 goals) found some open space to leave the Burra’s battle an uphill one, just to maintain their lead at the first break. It was up to the Burra to strike back - with Richard Minney and Glen Hawthorn rebounded with aplomb across the Demons’ forward 50. It brought into the match Keysborough’s notso-secret forward weapon to replace King - with the big buckets of Davor ‘Moose’ Rajic put to the test. Rajic (8 goals) was sensational in the forward line - with most passes sticking square in his big dukes, while his kicking was just as promising. Matt Collett (4 goals) and Bryce Sutton (3 goals) also lined up to join the party as Keysborough charged home to take the 92-point win. The match devolved through the remaining stanzas as Keysborough booted 15 goals to three following quarter time - a sensational turn around after the Demons’ early surge. Burra coach Ryan Goodes said the new-look structure was taken to by everyone and he was pleased to see the whole side step up. While Keysborough will have to adapt to the

Doveton Eagles received a belting in the other SFL Division-2 match in the local region, downed to the tune of 98 points by Oakleigh District.
SFL DIVISION 3 - Round 16 LYNDALE has defeated Sandown by 12 points,
Endeavour Hills was narrowly knocked over by seven points against Moorabbin, while Hallam and Dandenong were both beaten soundly by Black Rock and Mt Waverley respectively.
EFL DIVISION 1 - Round 15 THEY had to do it the hard way. Once again the sleepy Bulls almost left their rampage towards the final siren too late, but were able to brush aside Blackburn by eight points. Five-goals down at quarter time was reminiscent of last week’s troubling start against North Ringwood, but this time around there was no quick spree in front of goals to amend the slow start. From all parts the Bulls chipped away at the lead with experienced trio Tim Harper (3 goals), Kyle Martin and Ziggie Alwan (2 goals each) rattling off the majors.
It took until the final term for Noble Park to gain the lead as Blackburn faded away and couldn’t hold on. Noble Park maintains second spot in Division 1 and faces Norwood on Saturday at home.
VAFA DIVISION 2 - Round 15 ST JOHN’S cantered past South Melbourne Districts 25.12 (162) to 6.8 (44). A 14-goal opening half put the result to bed early as Aaron Thornton (7 goals) and Carson Strobel (5 goals) were unstoppable in the forward-50. Glenn Costas, Dan Cattolico and Corey Ladson were the JOCs’ best afield. St John’s sits outright second in Division 2 before hosting Monash Gryphons.
VAFA DIVISION 4 - Round 15 MASALA was soundly beaten by 152 points as Westburn Grammarians put the Tigers to the sword.

‘Sport’ his middle name By JARROD POTTER GIVE him a ball, a bat or generally anything related to sport and Mohi Kahui will likely step up and star. Kahui, 14, from Noble Park, is a true sporting polymath - whenever he steps foot onto any sporting arena he excels. His sporting list at the moment is getting longer by the day: touch football, rugby, Australian football, netball, track and field athletics and baseball. After representing Victoria in baseball earlier this year, Kahui will add another stellar sporting achievement to his ever-burgeoning resume as he becomes a state touch football representative. The Keysborough College student will have to battle against his home nation - New Zealand - but he’s ready to fly across the wings to take on the challenge at the Pacific School Games. “It’s pretty cool as I haven’t played touch for a couple of years,” Kahui said. “I’ve played it on and off for about one year. “I like to play middle, halfback and wing - my favourite is probably wing, so I can step people and score the tries and set up the tries as well. “I think I’ve got a couple of friends in that team (New Zealand) - but it will be pretty hard versing them as they’re pretty good.” Balancing his love of all these different codes is challenging, but that’s the only way Kahui knows how to get into his sport - giving
Cougars charge on through By JARROD POTTER BIG V - DIVISION 2 FINALS
Mohi Kahui is on his way to sporting stardom... in one code or another. 141954 Picture: JARROD POTTER everything a try. Whether infield, outfield or sacrifice hitting for the greater good of his side, Kahui loved his time playing baseball for Victoria and will likely find himself on the diamond in years to come for his adopted state. “Just the atmosphere - it was good up there... just playing against the other states was pretty cool,” Kahui said. Kahui would love to pursue a professional life in sport... but he’s going to have to experiment with his favourites for a bit longer to find out which one is his true passion. Kahui wanted to thank his parents and In2Fitness Health Club for their support. The Pacific School Games are held in Adelaide from 21 to 29 November.
STEPPING up under post-season pressure, Keysborough booked its place in the BIG V Division-2 Men’s semi-final after storming Craigieburn’s house and running off with the come-from-behind 88-81 victory. Putting to bed some of the memories of the 2012 BIG V grand final - where Craigieburn came from behind to knock over Keysborough in the three-game series - the Cougars had to work hard to edge past the Eagles by the final siren. Craigieburn flew out of the gates - extending a 50-41 lead at the half with their home court advantage showing its true value. But the relentless pace from coach Nathan Vogt’s flat-out offence started to grind the Eagles down in the second half. Malcolm Heard (26 points, 11 rebounds) put another all-star effort in the bank as he smashed apart Craigieburn’s defences under the rim. Andrew Lowe (9 points, 11 rebounds) nearly snared a doubledouble off only 20 minutes courttime in a superb performance while John Constance (12 points) - hitting clutch free throws late - and Steven Haddrell (10 points) kept the scoreboard ticking over. Not even the efforts of former
Keysborough point guard Eric Miraflores (25 points) could halt the Cougars’ charge towards the next playoff stage. Vogt said he wanted to put the Eagles’ bench under pressure and send the game into a frenzy the home side couldn’t match. “Basically we knew they weren’t going to go too deep, so the whole time we just tried to create a hightempo game and keep running them and hopefully crack them in the third or fourth quarter, which we did,” Vogt said. “We spent most of the night behind and according to the statistics we only spent 11 minutes in the lead... so one stage we were 12 points down in the second term, brought it back to nine at the half, and we outran them in the third and consolidated the game in the fourth to bring it home.” Keysborough will face Western Port away in the semi-final, with a time and date yet to be announced. “The advantage for us is that Western Port hasn’t played a game in two weeks,” Vogt said. “We match up well against them and have got a bit of a rivalry with them so it should be good.” Dandenong’s SEABL teams played Ballarat on Sunday afternoon after the Journal went to print.
Malcolm Heard - pictured playing earlier this season - proved pivotal in Keysborough’s BIG V finals victory over Craigieburn. 139855 Picture: JARROD POTTER
Something’s in the air alright... Fernando Bale By MICHAEL FLOYD
Fernando Bale continued his rank domination of Victorian greyhound racing on Thursday evening at Sandown Park.
RAIN, hail or shine, Fernando Bale will prevail. That was the verdict at Sandown Park on Thursday evening after greyhound super star Fernando Bale claimed his 23rd win from his last 25 starts in a heat of the Victorian National Sprint Championship. Fernando Bale was sent to the boxes as the $1.10 favourite - the 14th consecutive start in which he’s started as the odds-on favourite - and the cold, wet and windy conditions did nothing to temper his explosive early speed, pinging from box 3 to lead Kayda Shae first time past the post. To the surprise of many, Fernando Bale moved off the rail through the first turn, allowing Kayda Shae to rail through and draw level with the seven-
time group race winner. However Fernando Bale showed the extraordinary speed that has made him Australia’s premier sprinter, going on to win for the 26th time in his 32 career starts and be guaranteed a berth in the Nation Sprint Championship Grand Final. “I’m very happy, he did a good job,” said trainer Andrea Dailly. “I thought he was going to let Kayda Shae through at the first turn but he knuckled down and found the line really well.” While his winning time of 29.34 was a long way outside of his best time at the track, it was still the fastest time recorded on the night (his 20th win in best of night time). Indeed, the next fastest heat winners - Margins and Ronray Spirit - registered victories in 29.60. Lamia Bale and Weston East won the
final two heats of the night, and with Mepunga Armagh and Above All joining Kayda Shae in the final as the fastest runners-up, the stage is set for one of the best races seen at Sandown Park in many years.Seven of the eight finalists have won over $100,000 in prize money, combining to win in excess of an extraordinary $1.9m. Six have won at group level and all have qualified for at least two group finals, combining to contest 35 group finals in total for 17 wins (including eight at Group-1 level). Sandown Park is giving one lucky patron and a friend the chance to see Fernando Bale chase an unprecedented sixth Group-1 win at the National Sprint Championship Grand Final at Wentworth Park, Sydney, on Saturday 15 August. Simply be on course at this week’s Victorian National Sprint final for your chance to win.

HONDA Civic has a long and distinguished history in Australia. It has been on sale here continuously since 1973 and has grown from a tiny two-door 1.2-litre sedan which revolutionised the design of small cars in Australia through nine generations into one of the classiest and most respected small-medium cars on our local market. A truly global vehicle, the Civic hatch is manufactured in Britain and was developed with extensive testing throughout Europe. Its sedan sibling is built in Thailand. That ninth generation Civic
has been on sale here since February 2012 and had its refresh button tapped earlier this year with some minor design tweaks, new safety technology and infotainment improvements. Already a good looking car, the 2015 changes have made the Civic even more eye-catching. There’s a new front grille with cross-hatch fill, new front and rear bumpers, side mouldings and rear spoiler together with new standard guided tube daytime running lights and guided tube tail lights. As before the rear door handles are of the concealed variety fur-
ther enhancing the car’s couple-like appearance The 2015 Honda Civic hatch comes in three equipment levels - VTi-S, VTiL and VTi-LN with RRP ranging from $22,150 for a manual VTi-S to $31,090 for the automatic VTi-LN. Interior space in the Civic hatchback is fine for four adults, with space in the centre-rear for another without too much discomfort. Despite the sleek appearance headroom is fine. Soft-touch surface materials are used throughout to provide a quality feel, the steering wheel has tilt and telescopic adjustment and, in the
VTi-L, is finished in extra-smooth leather with stitching. We liked the complex doubledecker styling of the dash and instrument area, with the digital speedo sitting high to make it easy to keep track of. The boot is large and deep, the latter helped by the use of a spacesaver spare beneath the floor. Capacity is 390 litres, extending to 1120 litres with the rear seatback folded and loaded to the window line. Luggage is reasonably easy to load through an opening that’s wide and practical.
