■ MP says there is hope despite suburb’s poor reputation...
Doveton’s not dead By LACHLAN MOORHEAD
1170560-ACM06-15
THE people of Doveton have finally been given a say. About 50 residents and volunteers gathered at the Doveton Football Club rooms on Wednesday night to take part in a community forum convened by Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams. Ms Williams called the meeting after Doveton was listed in July as one of the state’s seven most disadvantaged postcodes in the Dropping off the Edge 2015 report, compiled by Jesuit Social Services and Catholic Social Services Australia. It came as author Dennis Glover, a Labor speechwriter who grew up in Doveton, released his book, An Economy Is Not a Society, in which he writes about the suburb’s factory closures severely impacting on the once efficient manufacturing region. “There was a lot of talk about Doveton, but there wasn’t a lot of talking to people living in Doveton,” Ms Williams said at the 23 September forum. “And I always think that’s a problem when you’ve got a running commentary about our community without necessarily taking into account the voices of that community.” Last week Doveton was also found to be part of just 6 per cent of Victorian postcodes which make up half of the state’s 6506 prison population, according to the Ombudsman’s latest report. But Salvation Army Captain Stuart McGifford, who spends much of his time at the Doveton facility and attended the forum, said people just need an “opportunity”. “We see a bit of that, people that come to breakfast and then we don’t see them for two months and its turns out they’ve been in jail and they come back and we see them again.
Some are for very minor offences, some for some more serious stuff,” he said. “Some of the people we see we know it’s not just... a food parcel will not fix it, it’s years, if they get the right opportunity they could make something of it.” Doveton’s unemployment rate currently sits around 21 per cent, more than three times the national average. At their height Doveton’s three big factories - General Motors Holden, International Harvester and Heinz - collectively employed almost 7500 people. In his book Mr Glover said only 500 of those jobs remained. Mr Glover has previously compared current-day Doveton to Detroit in the USA, where a mass shutdown of auto-plants saw 90 per cent of manufacturing jobs in the American city dry up, but Ms Williams refuted suggestions manufacturing was dead. “What I get very downhearted about is when I hear in mainstream conversation and mainstream media, lines to the effect that manufacturing is dead,” she said. “It’s not dead, it is changing, no doubt, but with that change comes a lot of opportunity. We don’t have any more three large manufacturers that service an entire community. What we’ve got is a lot more of them but they’re smaller businesses. “And rather than being unskilled assembly line work, often what we’ve got is a situation where there are a range of different trades and skills on a floor and I think that’s not a bad thing.” To have your say on Doveton, contact Gabrielle Williams’ office at gabrielle.williams@parliament.vic.gov.au.

Drink-driving learner demolishes light pole By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DRINK-driving learner motorist was fined $1200 and lost his licence for eight months after losing control of a vehicle through an Endeavour Hills roundabout and crashing into a light pole two years ago. Ehsanullah Popal, now 22 and a father of two, recorded a .045 blood-alcohol reading three hours after the crash on 15 July 2013. He was charged with exceeding .00 as well as dangerous driving, failing to dis-
play L-plates and driving without an experienced driver beside him. On Monday, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told Popal’s then-fiancee and two others had been drinking beer and bourbon before they went for a drive about 10pm. On a roundabout in John Cook Drive, the vehicle lost traction and Popal overcorrected, fish-tailed and crashed into the light. The crash extensively damaged the vehicle and destroyed the streetlight, police prosecutor Senior Constable Tracey Ar-
nold told the court. Popal told police he had been travelling about 65-70 km/h in the 50 km/h zone. The court was told Popal pleaded guilty to other offences including driving an unregistered vehicle, driving without an experienced driver as his front passenger, failing to display L-plates and failing to produce a driver’s licence in Dandenong and Hallam in 2013 and 2015. He also pleaded guilty to three counts of failing to answer bail. Popal told the court he had not re-
placed his written-off car since the crash. During his most recent offence, he was driving his brother’s vehicle. “I’m not drinking anymore,” he told the court. “I won’t drive until I get my proper licence.” Magistrate Greg Connellan cancelled Popal’s licence for more than the mandatory six months for dangerous driving, taking into account the crash and involvement of alcohol. He said the fine was lenient, given it was Popal’s first traffic matter in court.
Awards mark the wonderful world of words sion and comprehension. “The winning students were those with the highest results in these areas. These awards are one part of celebrating literacy at Mossgiel Park Primary School.” During the ceremony, the award winners received a number of medals, which were presented by Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan. Some of the other reading activities included a Question of the Day competition, a Guess the Number of Pages competition, a pop-up reading library, a visiting author, a Be Well Read, Wear Red Day and English Encouragement Awards.
Bus crash pair hurt A BUS driver and his passenger have been hospitalised after a crash between a bus and a truck on Stud Road, Dandenong North. An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said a man in his 40s suffered leg and hip injuries in the crash shortly after 9.30am on Tuesday 22 September. He and the other man were taken to Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the south-bound truck was turning onto a Monash Freeway on-ramp when it struck the front of the north-bound bus.
A MAN has died in hospital after a three-vehicle crash in Hallam. A cement truck crashed end-to-end with two cars at the on-ramp of the South Gippsland Freeway, off the Princes Highway, about 7.30am on Saturday 12 September. The male driver of the middle car, a Ford station wagon, was rushed to hospital where he died a short time later. The female driver of the first car, a Toyota Camry, was also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The male driver of the cement truck was uninjured and assisted police with their inquiries. Police are appealing for any witnesses, and urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or make a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

A MAN has been unable to explain to police how he has been found with a gunshot wound in Dandenong early on Tuesday morning. The 31-year-old was discovered in Leed Street about 1.50am. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the man was unable to tell police where the shot occurred or how the leg injury was sustained. The victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS POLICE morale has waned due to a delay in protective screens being installed at Endeavour Hills and Narre Warren stations, claims Police Association Victoria secretary Ron Iddles. Mr Iddles said “our members in the Casey area will no doubt feel much safer in their workplace� when the screens go in, given the fateful Numan Haider shooting at Endeavour Hills station last September. On 23 September 2014, Haider allegedly stabbed two police offi-
cers outside the station and was fatally shot by one of the officers. The incident is being investigated by the State Coroner. “The long period of time it’s taking to have protective screens installed is having an adverse effect on morale among officers in Casey. “This is not a difficult task and should have been done months ago.“ Mr Iddles said police remained on a “heightened state of alert� since the shooting - fully kitted up with operational equipment inside and outside of police stations. “This just adds to the stress of
the job for our members in Casey who are further burdened by the extraordinarily high rate of family violence and youth crime they have to deal with in an under-resourced environment.� Victoria Police’s Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton told 3AW yesterday that Endeavour Hills station’s security upgrade was expected in the “next few weeks�. Mr Ashton said the security review of stations began after the “Anzac Day event� - an alleged foiled terror plot targeting police at a Dandenong Anzac Day service this year. He said he’d asked for Endeav-
our Hills station to be put at the “top of the priority list� when he came to the police’s top job in July. “We’ve got to strike a balance. We’ve got to ensure our police members are protected ... but now’s the time the community has to see us the most.� A State Government spokesman said Mr Ashton directed the “specific allocation� of police resources “in line with long-standing practice�. “The government will continue to work with Victoria Police to ensure they have the resources they need to keep Victoria safe.�

Teen’s online and mosque ban after charges dropped By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE Hampton Park teenager who had Anzac Day terror plot charges dropped has been placed on an interim control order which stops him going to any mosque, bar one. Harun Causevic, 18, was arrested in April and charged with conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for terrorist acts, following pre-dawn counterterrorism raids throughout Casey. The charges were dropped after the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions decided there was insufficient evidence.
The control order, initiated by the Australian federal police, requires Causevic to wear a tracking device for 24 hours a day, includes a midnight to 5am curfew, and prohibits him from going to any mosque apart from the Emir Sultan Mosque in Dandenong. The teen is also not permitted to use his mobile phone, computers, or web messaging services. The order was granted last week, with a hearing planned for December to determine whether it would be confirmed. It comes after Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton on Wednes-
day announced the set-up of a new Counter Terrorism Command team. The new command will bring together a number of units within Victoria Police to form a single department responsible for counter terrorism activities including investigations, intelligence, policy and capability development. Causevic and Sevdet Ramdan Besim, also 18, of Hallam, were both arrested in the Operation Rising raids, while in July, Narre Warren teen Mehran Azami, 19, pleaded guilty to 19 counts of importing weapons and three other charges and was remanded in cus-

JACK JOHNSON IS THE AUTHOR OF WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES, A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN DANDENONG, HIS YEARS TENDING TO THE CITY’S PIPES AND DRAINS AS A PLUMBER AND BRINGING UP A FAMILY WITH WIFE FRANCES IN THEIR BELOVED HOME IN MACPHERSON STREET.
In a hole lotta trouble to get into the show AS SMALL kids we loved it when a circus came to town and when the Dandenong Agricultural Society staged its annual show. On this particular day, we were sitting with some of my brother Nipper’s mates on the edge of the empty produce market stalls in Clow Street, lamenting the fact that we did not have the money to gain admittance to the showgrounds. At that moment Spiv came past. “What the bloody hell’s wrong with you lot?” he said and on hearing the sad story he said: “There’s a hole under the fence where some kids got into the show earlier this morning.” It was near a large pair of gates in the high corrugated iron fence and beneath the red gum plank baseboard.
JACK LOOKS
BACK JACK JOHNSON
It had obviously been dug by a dog getting in or out of the showgrounds. One of the kids who came from Dandy West, and always seemed to wear a brown checked overcoat, rushed up to the hole and dived in head first and became wedged under the fence with his face in the dirt. Nipper, Tommo and Spidgy grabbed his legs and dragged him yelling and moaning from the hole, leaving
him spitting dirt and laying in the gutter by the roadside. The sounds of the show could clearly be heard from outside the fence. Mr Williams was announcing over the public address system what horses and riders were going over the jumps course. The more we heard these sounds the more urgent our need to get into the show became. Another kid got a small piece of gum tree branch and started to dig the hole wider, but the ground was too hard and the stick kept breaking. Spidgy sneeringly said: “S***! My ferret could dig faster than that.” I suggested that it may be easier to get through the hole by lying on our backs and wriggling through with our
arms by our sides then once we got through to sort of jack-knife under the fence. Nipper, on hearing this reverseentry idea, was the first one up to the hole. There was a sublime expectant hush that came over the group as we waited for that spindly pair of legs to vanish under the fence. Suddenly the moment was shattered by a shrill panicky yell from Nipper. He wriggled back out of the hole with the speed of a tiger snake that he just been whacked with a piece of number eight fencing wire. At the same time someone inside the show ground banged loudly against the double gates and as the yell still echoed and gates rattled one of the kids panicked and screamed: “S***, they’re onto us. They’re coming out the gates.”
In panic, we took off at great speed and did not stop until we reached the bridge over the open drain in McCrae Street. We all listened intently as Nipper told us what had happened on the other side of the fence. He said he had just pulled his arms through the hole and was reaching to pull himself up when both his hands were seized by two large black hands and he found himself staring up into the bearded leering face of a savage jungle head-hunter who was trying to drag him out of the hole. We all listened in amazement and Bricky suggested it was probably someone from one of the sideshow tents trying to frighten him. “Pig’s arse. I know a bloody headhunter when I see one,” Nipper said.
LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 16 September 1915 Berwick The reception tendered to return wounded Private Ernie Gardiner and Sapper Clemons turned out a pronounced success. Ladies had decorated the hall with bunting and greenery and a large ‘Welcome Home’ was conspicuously exhibited. Under the chairmanship of Cr A’Beckett a very fine musical programme was given. Mrs A’Beckett, Misses Miller and Jones, and Mr T Jennings acted as accompanist. Mr Vieusseux gave the solders a formal welcome and concluded this remarks with an appropriate Jingle entitled “Our Thanks to You”. Private Gardiner replied in an excellent and most interesting speech, detailing his experiences and giving great credit and praise to his comrades the Indian soldiers who fought
and are still fighting shoulder to shoulder with our own boys. Snapper Clemons gave a most humorous account of his experiences, and although badly used up, expressed his desire to get alright again in order to have another “go”. Supper was provided, and one of the best social evening that have eventuated in Berwick for some time was brought to an end. 50 years ago 29 September 1965 True fur seals on Phillip Island Cowes - The colony of seals at Seal Rocks, Phillip Island, which will be under scrutiny of Fisheries and Wild Life research officers over the next five years are true fur seals - eared seals. These seals have small external ears and hind flippers or limbs that are capable of being turned forwards when travelling on land.
They are found in three other places - Lady Percy Island near Port Fairy, on the Gennie and Anser group of islands near Wilson’s Promontory, and on the Skerries, a group of small islands off the mouth of the Wingan River in eastern Victoria. 20 years ago 2 October 1995 Push to make parts locally Many parts now made overseas could be made locally, leading to an increase in exports, manufacturers heard. Alan Oxley, former Chairman of GATT, and now Managing Director of International Trade Strategies last week spoke in favour of import replacement. A display of locally made products which could replace those made overseas aroused the interest of many manufactures at the launch.

Suburb error By LACHLAN MOORHEAD AN OMBUDSMAN statement that Doveton was one of six suburbs that accounted for half of victoria’s prisoners was incorrect, according to a clarification from the Ombudsman's office. And Victoria Ombudsman Deborah Glass said there was a typographical error in the prisoner rehabilitation and reintegration report which incorrectly attributed six postcodes to half of the state’s 6506 prison population. The six postcodes provided to media outlets by the Ombudsman’s office - but not listed in the report - were Doveton, Broadmeadows, Corio, Frankston North, Maryborough and Morwell. Ms Glass said the correct figure was that half of Victoria’s prisoners come from just 6 per cent of postcodes. Despite the error, the Ombudsman said five of the postcodes identified - including Doveton - also appear in the top 6 per cent of suburbs for prison admissions. Despite the error, the Ombudsman said five of the postcodes identified - including Doveton - also appear in the top 6 per cent of suburbs for prison admissions. Maryborough sits just outside the top 6 per cent of suburbs for prison admissions. The report, released last Thursday, comes after Doveton was listed in July as one of the state’s seven most disadvantaged postcodes in the Drop-
Doveton advocate Dennis Glover. ping off the Edge 2015 report, compiled by Jesuit Social Services and Catholic Social Services Australia. Ms Glass said her prison findings reiterated the link between disadvantage and offending. In her damning investigation Ms Glass predicted the state’s prison population to reach at least 8300 by June 2019. She said building more prisons was a flawed and shortsighted response to the overflowing jail population. “Building more prisons is demonstrably not making us safer as a community. For such enormous public investment we should be seeing much better returns,” Ms Glass said. “Long-term solutions do not lie within the walls of our prisons or with a single government department. “Victoria needs a whole-ofgovernment approach to focus on the causes of crime rather than its consequences. “If we continue in this way, current trends in both prisoner numbers and cost mean it will
not be long before we have to make hard decisions between prison beds or hospital beds, better schools or more security.” Doveton’s unemployment rate currently sits at 21 per cent, more than three times the national average. In his recently published book An Economy Is Not A Society, author and Labor speechwriter Dennis Glover, who grew up in Doveton, discusses the “social destruction” of the suburb, which he claims is the result of factory closures in the once efficient manufacturing centre. At their height Doveton’s three big factories - General Motors Holden, International Harvester and Heinz - collectively employed almost 7500 people. Mr Glover said only 500 of those jobs remained. The Ombudsman’s report also notes an overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in custody, making a case for more action to reduce both the number of prisoners in the first instance and the re-offending rate. The investigation also found that recidivism rates are highest among people aged 18 to 25. Over half of young prisoners return to prison within two years. “Interventions targeted towards young offenders through diversion or within the prison system - provide a significant opportunity to break the cycle before it becomes entrenched.”

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… LITTLE Day Out, the Full Moon Festival and the Dandenong and District Orchid Society Show – it was all happening in Greater Dandenong on Sunday. And Journal photographer Rob Carew was there to capture all the fun, food and flowers. Visit www.dandenong.starcommunity.com.au to view his snaps from all three events straightaway and keep an eye on next week’s Journal for a selection of shots. BE WARNED – birds in Johnston Street, Dandenong South, are rather territorial. A Journal reporter found this out the hard way when a particularly feisty noisy miner crashed into their head not once, but twice,
as they left an interview last week. WE’RE not sure many Gateway Industries AGM guests were willing to admit they’d spotted the classifieds notice advertising the event. The disability employment provider’s president Russell Smith brought along a copy to the 21 September event at Dandenong Club for those who missed it, highlighting an adjoining advertisement spruiking “ladies $80 special” and “Club Keys”. “Our ad is just next door,” he said. MR SMITH was in good company as he read the candidates for the incoming committee, with many sharing his surname. “They’re all legit... and were not necessarily related!” he said. GATEWAY’S accountant asked Rotary Club of Noble Park president
Chris Hansen to deliver the organisation’s financial report. “He told me he was flying out... that really worried me!” he said. It was just as well no one took up Mr Hansen’s offer to take questions on the report. “Good, I probably wouldn’t be able to answer it.” DINNER conversation at the AGM unearthed a rare direct connection to The Beatles. Liverpudlians Phil Lunt and wife Ann recalled watching the music legends when they were simply another band on an evening line-up at the Cavern Club - and having a chat to them post-show. Ann even recalled the late Cilla Black taking her coat when she was a cloak room attendant at the club before her big break.
THERE were tense times on Robinson Street Dandenong last week. On Tuesday a driver escaped with minor injuries after his ute was crushed against a traffic signal pole. The next day, the police bomb squad used its robot to check a suspicious bag left in a car park. Ninety minutes later, the scene was cleared. The bag contained groceries.

Anti-radical kits ‘fail’ By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE Islamic Council of Victoria has labelled as “counter-intuitive” the introduction of anti-radicalisation kits into schools It said the kits have already failed in the UK and USA. Greater Dandenong teacher and ICV spokesman Kuranda Seyit said the Radicalisation Awareness Kit released by the federal government on 21 September was a product of “political expediency”. A notorious example of the approach’s “failure” was a Texan boy who was recently arrested when he brought a clock-like contraption to school. “He was mistreated and vic-
timised because he was Muslim, and teachers were trained to report anything suspicious. “It blew out to a controversy. It’s something you don’t want.” That sort of victimisation played on young people’s minds, Mr Seyit said. “If you want to build resilience and inclusion, it’s counter-intuitive to start talking of radicalisation and linking it with Muslim students.” Mr Seyit preferred the state government’s “balanced” and “comprehensive” approach that promotes student resilience and inclusive schools. He said the Victorian approach was more likely to help youth at risk of being isolated
and drifting into criminality. It includes new subjects for 2016 such as respectful relationships, and world views and ethical understanding. The method is to challenge stereotypes and behaviour such as prejudice, violence, discrimination and harassment, and teach students social skills to cultivate respectful relationships. It has been 12 months since Lyndale Secondary College graduate Numan Haider was fatally shot after stabbing police officers in Endeavour Hills. Other former Lyndale students were charged over a foiled terrorist plot targeting Dandenong’s Anzac Day service this year.
Department of Education spokesman Bryan Allchin said there would be a focus on prevention – “universal support” for all students plus early intervention for those that are “vulnerable”. However he noted: “Radicalisation is not taking place in the classroom – it’s happening when vulnerable young people are targeted online or outside of the school environment.” As part of its strategy, schools will be urged to engage with community leaders, police and organisations that can support atrisk young people. The new curriculum will also be supported by programs such as School-wide Positive Be-
haviour Support (SWPBS), the Building Resilience Framework, and the existing Bully Stoppers. The SWPBS program is a research-based method aimed at creating a positive school climate and open responsive management from school leaders, staff, students and parents. The resilience-building program will include social-emotional learning teaching material for students to explicitly learn problem solving, coping and help-seeking skills. Last month, the state government announced an $8.6 million, two-year Navigator service pilot that aimed to reconnect 12 to 17-year-olds who were disengaged from schools.
Police dogs end siege A NINE-HOUR siege at a Dandenong South home involving a man who was wanted over outstanding warrants ended when police stormed the house. Police had been outside the Tarene Street house since 12.15pm on Monday 21 September with the 30-yearold occupant refusing to come out. About 9.15pm, police officers and their dogs entered the house and arrested the man. The man was taken to hospital with minor dog-bite injuries, a Victoria Police spokeswoman said. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimstoppersvic.com.au.

Break-ins could be linked say police POLICE believe two attempted robberies in Hallam this month were linked, with a medical clinic and a supermarket both targeted. It’s believed the intruders broke into the basement of the medical and dental clinic, on Saffron Drive, by smashing the window between 9pm on Monday 7 and 1pm on Tuesday 8 September. Once inside the intruders tried to jimmy open an internal door but were unable to. Meanwhile about 5am on 8 September, the same morning, an alarm was triggered at the Al-noor supermarket in nearby Spring Square after an intruder tried to break in through the rear door but failed. Nothing was stolen during either attempt. Detective Sergeant Rodney Maroney, from Narre Warren CIU, said the two incidents were “more than likely linked.” Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Meal makes amends By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE bread has been broken between Nina Springle and Rosalie Crestani in a lunch at Parliament House this week after the Greens MP slammed the Casey councillor for her recent involvement in last month’s Reclaim Australia rally. Thursday’s lunch was attended by both women and three representatives from the Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) after
Ms Springle, the South Eastern Metropolitan Region’s Greens MP, said Cr Crestani should be “condemned” for participating in the rally. When Cr Crestani hit back at Ms Springle’s criticism, the MP invited her to lunch with the ICV, acknowledging the pair’s “very different views on the Muslim community” but stating she hoped to “move past unhelpful conflicts”.
Cr Crestani said the two-hour meeting, which her husband Anthony also attended, was “respectful” and no-one was offended by the discussion, which included topics ranging from the prophet Mohammed, to abortion and Sharia Law. “I expressed to them all that I did feel their genuine desire to build bridges and feel most of whom they represent share the same ideals,” she said.
“However, I expressed further concern that the undeniable fundamentalist Muslim element stands as an existential threat to the security of our Australian people. “For it only takes a minor element to wreak enormous havoc in the form of a terrorist attack for instance.” But the Casey Councillor said “there must always be room for diplomacy”. Speaking in August, Cr Cres-
tani distanced herself and Reclaim Australia from some of the more extreme right-wing protesters at the rally, including a man with Nazi tattoos who joined the anti-Islam protesters. She said if Reclaim Australia was perceived as “racist” it was due to media coverage of the event and “not from our end”. Ms Springle’s office did not respond to questions before deadline.
Teen knows the tragedy of war EVEN before she travelled to Gallipoli this year, Gul Dasta Ali knew more than most 14-yearolds about the impact of war. Her father was killed in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime soon after Gul was born. This tragedy saw Gul, now a student at Alkira Secondary College in Cranbourne North, flee with her family to Pakistan and then on to Australia where they have lived for the past 10 years. This connection to war held a special significance for Gul when the Casey teen travelled to Gallipoli in April as one of 80 student delegates to represent Victoria at the 2015 Anzac Dawn Service. When she was recognised by the council recently with her Casey peer Sammy who also travelled to Gallipoli, Gul spoke
of the ever-lasting toll of losing loved ones in conflict. “I think it was just, understanding war,” Gul told Star News. “I saw that within my own family, the impact of war. You see it all over the news... I think it personalised the issue for me. “I look at the Anzacs as humans, as people, as individuals who had families.” Gul’s family moved to Victoria after applying for a humanitarian visa as the conflict in Afghanistan waged on. She came to Australia when she was so young that she can’t remember too much of her time spent in the Middle East. Australia has always been her home. And in this way as well Gul’s journey to Turkey was made extra special as she stood in
IN BRIEF Fast food fail INTRUDERS tried to break into an Endeavour Hills pizza restaurant and the fish and chip shop next door, but were forced to leave emptyhanded. The intruders attempted to jimmy open the back door of the Heatherton Road fish and chip shop, but when unsuccessful they then moved to the front of the store and managed to gain entry between 11pm on Saturday 19 and 9am on Sunday 20 September. The intruders ransacked the store but nothing was stolen, as no cash had been kept on the premises. They also tried to get inside the pizza parlour next door, but were unable to break in. Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.
Tune in to test Students Sarah Hodge and Gul Dasta Ali at the Gallipoli service. the “ice-cold darkness” before the Anzac service. “We stood amongst thousands of Australians and New Zealanders awaiting the break of dawn at the shores of Gallipoli to remember and honour the fallen,” Gul has written. “After there was a three kilometre walk up a steep track
Summer bodes sart in spring
to Lone Pine for the Australian service, we welcomed a seat in the stands and commemorated all those who served not (just in) the Gallipoli campaign but all the conflicts and peace keeping settlements that Australia has been involved in.” She said it was important for everyone to “share their connec-
tion” with World War I. “It is important for all young people to discover and share their own connection whether it be a family connection, a connection through the town in which they live or the school they attend,” she said. “There is so much of this 100-year-old history around us still today.”

We’ve got plenty to be happy about By GEORGIA WESTGARTH IN THE name of fun, the Doveton community rallied for a day of memory making. It was Celebrate Doveton day on Friday 25 September and among the colour and the festivities locals had the
chance to revel in all the good their community has to offer. The Doveton Neighbourhood Learning Centre held the party in partnership with the Doveton Eumemmerring Township Association (DETA) with face painting, games and an historical pho-
tography display on the day. President of DETA Sean Balfour said days like these are important to boost positivity in the region. “There is so much depressing stuff happening around us today, this event is
a great opportunity to focus on something good and enjoy ourselves,” Mr Balfour said. A fun-loving approach for a growing township, the day was all about looking back on the past century of Doveton and forward to a sunny future.

It pleasantly maintains its charm but the maintenance is second to none meaning the new owners can simply move in and enjoy it for years to come. Adults can enjoy peaceful living in the front half while the kids can enjoy the rear second living area - it’s the best way to all stay under one roof and still have plenty of room to move. The front half consists of the open living and dining area and flowing through from there is the great sized kitchen, which is spotlessly presented. There are three bedrooms with wardrobes, a central bathroom and separate toilet in the laundry.

LJ Hooker has handled my properties for a long time and they are by far the best property managers I have ever worked with. They understand the market as well as the needs of both owner and tenant. They found several tenants for my properties and on all occasions I have been extremely happy with the tenants and also the level of service. When there have been maintenance issues, the property manager has found quality, professional tradesmen and no job has required re-work. On one occasion when the tenant caused the maintenance issue, they worked with them to resolve the problem. Having lived interstate for the past 12 months I could completely relax about my properties, knowing LJ Hooker Glen Waverley would look after them.

CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria
If you think you’ve seen a lot of real estate boards on display this year, you’re right. It’s been a very busy 12 months for property sales across Victoria. The appetite for settling and investing in regional areas has never been stronger and we’re seeing solid sales activity across the state. The latest REIV data shows several records have already been broken in 2015. Sales volumes are the
highest on record with an estimated 84,000 sales transacted so far this year - up 8 per cent on last year’s figures. Of those transactions, just over 12,000 were in regional Victoria, a 22 per cent increase when compared to the same period last year. Regional areas have contributed to the state’s high sales volumes with several towns recording significant sales growth of more than 100 per

cent in the 12 months to 30 June. Clifton Springs on the Bellarine Peninsula had the highest increase in transactions, up from 46 sales in June 2014 to 117 at the end of June 2015. This was followed by Yarrawonga, up from 35 sales to 75 over the year, and Wallan and New Gisborne in the Melbourne commuter belt where sales also increased significantly. In the case of New Gisborne, sales have
doubled in the past 12 months. Some of the state’s other top-performing areas include Churchill in east Victoria (75 per cent), Benalla (61.5 per cent) and Shepparton (39.4 per cent). Meanwhile, Victorians clearly love coastal locations with Geelong, Torquay, Barwon Heads, Highton and East Geelong all recording strong annual sales growth of at least 22 per cent.

Showing You the way By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A GROUP of youths who have battled drug addiction are staying grounded by giving back to the Casey community. Throughout this month the members of the Youth YOU Program, based in Hallam, have been running a drive for the homeless shelters in Casey, in which the group has been collecting a large amount of money, food and clothes for those less fortunate in the municipality. Former drug dealer and addict Glenn Munso is the creator of the Youth YOU Program, an initiative which helps guide drug-addicted and disenchanted youths aged 13 to 24 by involving them in a weekly mentoring session, as well as gym classes three times a week. Glenn said the drive for the homeless had given the Youth YOU members another perspective on life. “It shows them that times can get tough for others as well,” he said. “ ... One of the biggest things is
it to teach them to give back to the community, and they love helping others. “It keeps them connected and grounded.” In 2008, Glenn was arrested for dealing marijuana and assaulting a police officer. He received a onemonth jail sentence and ultimately served an 18-month intensive corrections order. It was a turning point that saw him give up drugs - taking and dealing. Earlier this year Glenn said his focus for the holistic program has always been to gain trust, something he feels is unattainable unless people are able to relate to the kids. “When they go and see someone, like a psychologist sitting in front of them, they feel judged,” he said. “So they come here and there’s no judgement because, obviously, I’ve been in their shoes as well.” The Youth YOU homeless drive will continue until the end of the month, and to contribute, or for more information, visit www. youthyouprogram.com.
Reid Church, Glenn Munso, Ash Marion and Brayden Walker are working on the ground. 143825 Picture: ROB CAREW
Campaigner puts diabetes cure on the in-store cards DEB Bayley is never one to take a backwards step. Next month the Berwick mother and type one diabetes (T1D) campaigner will launch her most ambitious project yet, the T1D Cards for a Cure campaign, which will see donation cards available at Coles in Eden Rise Shopping Centre during October with all proceeds going towards the Juvenile Diabe-
tes Research Foundation. Deb is known throughout the Casey community for her efforts in raising awareness about T1D, which her 14-year-old son, Ryan, was diagnosed with as a toddler, but she said next month’s campaign would be her largest project yet. “This is the biggest one yet and we have a major sponsor - I had to send off my proposal to the state marketing manager at
Coles and he approved for this to run at this one particular store,” she said. “And there’s so many people saying can this go national ... you have to start somewhere but, ultimately, if I can get this campaign into all other stores that would be amazing.” Type one diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas stops working and Deb
is quick to differentiate between type one and type two. “Some people think T1D is contagious or they think type one diabetes comes from eating too many lollies or chocolate cake,” Deb said. “I have even had people ask if you can outgrow type one diabetes. “I had someone tell me they heard a child asking their dad
what T1D was during our colouring competition and he turned to his child and said don’t worry about that son... you get that disease from eating too many lollies! Well that’s when I thought no way! This is has to stop. Something has to be done in a big way. We need to educate everyone who has been misinformed.” For more information visit www.jdrf.org.au.
Program’s aim to fix depression A NEW depression and anxiety program is being launched in Casey at the end of this month. The Depression and Anxiety Recovery Program will take place for nine weeks from Wednesday 30 September at City Edge in Narre Warren, and will be run by mental health nurse Lyndsay Coutet from the Hallam Medical Group. “The Depression and Anxiety Recovery Program offers a great opportunity to address an ever increasing condition that we face in our own life, family and society,” Mr Coutet said. “This program was put together by Dr Neil Nedley, a full-time practicing physician in Internal Medicine with emphases in Gastroenterology, Mental Health, Lifestyle Medicine and the difficult-todiagnose patient. “He developed the residential Nedley Depression and Anxiety Recovery Program for patients who are treatment resistant.” The Depression and Anxiety Recovery Program will be run at City Edge, 426 Princes Highway, Narre Warren, and for more information on the program contact Lyndsay on 0488 790 397.

New stolen generation By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FRIGHTENED parents with disabilities are not registering their children’s births because their previous children have been taken away from them, according to a south-east based advocate. And Michelle de Hommel, who has successfully raised six children and is the head of Parents With a Disability, said recent changes to child protection laws could create a “new stolen generation”. Ms de Hommel said she knows of parents with a disability who, out of fear of losing their kids because the Child Protection Service says they can’t look
after them, are avoiding registering their births or are fleeing interstate. Her group, the Law Institute of Victoria and the Office of the Public Advocate have spoken out against the change, which mandates courts to order that children who are out of home for 12 months are put into permanent care. The natural parents then have access to their children four times a year until they turn 18. Ms de Hommel has “joined the dots” between this new focus on “permanent care” to a highprofile campaign to relax adoption laws of Australian children. The losers are parents with
Growing used to fresh food FRESH fruit and vegies are now within easy reach for a school and charity in Endeavour Hills. Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills, with support from Bunnings Dandenong, on 18 September planted vegetables and fruit trees at Gleneagles Secondary College. Rotarian Geoff Brown said the club provided funding and help to build 16 elevated wicking garden beds, which will be used to teach Gleneagles students and to stock the
kitchen at the neighbouring Andrews Centre. The non-profit charity provides crisis support including meals, loans, vouchers, tutoring and advice. Mr Brown said Rotarians previously provided $12,000 for the Andrews Centre to upgrade its kitchen.

a disability, she said. Her group advocates for a boost in statefunded support - above the current three-hours-a-week of assistance afforded by the Department of Health and Human Services. “The money is just not going to parents, who may need just a few more hours of support.” Colleen Pearce, the state’s Public Advocate, said on Tuesday 22 September that children were being removed from parents with disabilities at a much higher rate than parents without disabilities. She said the child protection law changes would be “devastating” for parents with disabilities
trying to retain their children. “Disability is assumed to be a risk to children,” Ms Pearce said. “There is no credible evidence to support this assumption.” Ms Pearce said the DHHS was prone to put “negative scrutiny” over parents with a disability rather than giving support and encouragement. “In a risk-averse system, parents with disabilities are being assessed as being inherently at risk of poor parenting, even before it is tested and without supports to assist success. “Research shows that it is overwhelmingly more beneficial for children to live in their bio-
logical family home whether or not their parent has a disability.” Families and Children Minister Jenny Mikakos said a number of family services and parenting supports were available including individual support packages, case management, aids and equipment, respite and behaviour intervention support. “All new child protection practitioners receive specific training on parents with a disability to ensure they receive the appropriate support required, often in very stressful circumstances. “DHHS will carefully consider the Office of the Public Advocate’s report.” Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills member Geoff Brown, Adele Duffy, City of Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon, Judy Martin, Karl Lapinskas, City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland, Ann DeLuca from Dandenong Bunnings, John Cooper, John Majkut and Frank Hammond are looking forward to the fresh produce. 142660 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
Winning band is on a high note THE City of Greater Dandenong Band has every right to toot its own horn. It took out first place in the Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod B Grade Brass Band section in Traralgon.

On a sea of dreams By CASEY NEILL “THE boat carries the people and their dreams.” Artist Motoko Katsuta Kitano said this was the sentiment behind the Ship of Dreams sculpture, now on display at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens in Dandenong. She’s been working with Wellsprings for Women, Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre, Springvale Neighbourhood House and more to create multiple boat sculptures. “For countless people around our planet, a boat represents a journey to a better place,” Motoko said. “A boat provides a way of escaping brutal regimes, religious and racial intolerance, oppression and subjugation. “You can only dream of better things. “I am both honoured and humbled to be working with the community groups on this project. “Many of the participants have experienced first-hand some of the horrors mentioned above, but the strength of their spirit continues to drive them.” Work on the boats will continue until the end of the year, each carrying the character and culture of those who build them. The completed sculptures are to be displayed at the Dandenong Library in January. Motoko’s exhibition Food for Eyes (Food for Thought) is also on display at Heritage Hill. She created the collection while an artist in residence at the McCrae Street site in January. Motoko has lived and worked throughout Japan, the USA, Ger-

I see the different houses and think of the stories and histories of the families there,” she said. “Like a thousand books in the library, each house makes me imagine its stories and wonder how it would be if I could become part of these families and their culture.” Food for Eyes (Food for Thought) and Ship of Dreams will be on display at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens, 66 McCrae Street, Dandenong, from

GATEWAY Industries employee Mark Hutton endured bullying and verbal abuse at work every day for more than two years at his previous job. The Dandenong-based non-profit employs people with disabilities and Mr Hutton was a guest speaker at its AGM at Dandenong Club on Monday 21 September. He said working at Gateway for the past three years had restored his self-esteem. “I have made a lot of friends who are like my family,” he said. Mr Hutton said he stuck it out in open employment “even though it hurt inside”. “I had to learn to cope with it and it was stressful,” he said. City of Casey Councillor Amanda Stapledon said Mr Hutton had “shown resilience, decency and tenacity”. She spoke about the council’s support for people with disabilities, including programs to promote social inclusion and disability-friendly facilities. Cr Stapledon also spruiked Livvi’s Space in Lyndhurst, which was designed to include children of all abilities and officially opened on 13 September.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Winners in waiting Manufacturing By CASEY NEILL BERWICK’S Australian Precision Technologies (APT) won a top manufacturing award just a few months ago and is already in the running for another. The family-owned and operated business took home the Small Manufacturer of the Year title at June’s Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame awards. It’s now in the running for the Manufacturer of the Year Award at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards alongside Hallam’s Wastech Engineering and fellow Berwick business Successful Endeavours. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner a Cranbourne Racing Centre on 22 October. APT was inducted into the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame last year and picked up the manufacturing award at the inaugural Casey Cardinia Business Awards. “It’s recognition for all our hard work and commitment in a challenging manufacturing industry,” co-director Ron Weinzierl said. “With government and industry support we’ll be able to develop into a worldclass manufacturer.” Ron’s brother Richard Weinzierl founded the company in 1992. Ron came on board in 1998 and said APT was now leading the market on national and global fronts with clients in aerospace, defence, automotive, biomedical and telecommunications. “We’re known for precision engineering - we make stuff that people can make

Managing director Ray Keefe started Successful Endeavours as a home-based business in 1997. “By 2005 I realised I didn’t know how to make this thing grow,” he said. Mr Keefe went looking for a business mentor and tracked down the right one in 2008. He rebranded the business, repositioned it in the market and moved out of home into commercial premises.
“Four months after that we won Casey Business of the Year,” he said. The Berwick small business has since collected several award nominations and wins. Wastech Engineering was a finalist for the Medium Manufacturer of the Year title at this year’s Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards. It won the Manufacturing Award at March’s Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Premier Regional Business Awards and took home the Casey Business of the Year and Casey Manufacturer of the Year awards for 2013. In May last year it won the Melbourne South East (MSE) Business Awards Business of the Year Overall Business Excel-
lence award and Medium Enterprise category. Brothers Neil and Paul Bone started Wastech in 1993 after largely working on trucks involved in the waste business during their time as diesel motor mechanics. The business has grown from a threeman band to an industry leader with more than 90 staff and a turnover pushing $30 million. Wastech’s customers range from large national retail stores and shopping centre developments to suburban retailers and its equipment includes front lift trucks, static compactors, bin lifters and bins. “Innovation and outstanding customer service keeps us ahead of our competitors and high quality product ensures we stay there,” Neil said.
Clay maker has the world in a spin POTTERS around the world are making masterpieces with clay made in Dandenong. Clayworks Australia makes an appearance in canoe-shaped sculptures that appear to glide through the Dandenong Civic Centre foyer. “Some of those are bone china, but one of them is made out of southern ice porcelain,” director Max Campbell said. “Southern ice porcelain is one of the best studio porcelains in the world and we export it to Singapore, Hong Kong, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, the UK, the US and New Zealand. “It’s very white, very translucent and it’s fully vitrified (glasslike). “We mix the materials in a big plunger with water. It’s like a food processor with a 54-horsepower motor on it.” Mr Campbell said machines then sieved, filtered and de-aired the mixtures. “The production process is a bit unusual. It’s a relatively expensive production process but you get a very good product at the end,” he said. He said porcelain was at the top end of Clayworks’ 35-strong clay range. It’s about half clay, one quarter silica and one quarter feldspar, which is a chemical agent that melts.
“When you make glass you use feldspar and silica as well, but you don’t use the clay,” he said. “Schools don’t want to use that sort of material – it’s very difficult to work with. “We make school clay, we make clay for hand working and we produce terracotta pottery clay.” Clayworks uses clay mined in Bacchus Marsh and Axedale in Victoria and from Gulgong, near Mudgee in New South Wales. “This used to be one of the premium pottery clays in Australia but, unfortunately, the pit is coming to an end,” he said. “We’re dealing with a finite resource and have to constantly adapt our techniques.” Will Mulder started Clayworks more than 30 years ago. “He was a potter and he started making clay for his own use. He started selling potter’s clay and it just grew from there,” Mr Campbell said. “We’d probably have an output of maybe 100 tonnes a month. “Schools are our biggest market, followed by artists and potters and there are still a few production houses around. “Robert Gordon Pottery in Pakenham is one of our customers.” Mr Campbell came on board 18 years ago.
Director Max Campbell with pieces created from Clay Works clay. 144420 “People in other industries do it because they have to do it,” he said. “People in this industry do it because they want to do it. Your customers become your friends.” He also loves to see the creations from sculptors like James Cattell, which often come back to Clayworks for glazing and firing. The company also regularly hosts sculpture workshops. “We make rectangular blocks of clay. It’s just fantastic to see what people make,” he said. Mr Campbell said the indus-
try was about 15,000 years old but there was still opportunity for innovation. “Traditionally, you would fire at earthenware or stoneware. Earthenware’s about 1100 degrees, stoneware’s about 1280 degrees,” he said. “We brought in a number of clays that fire in between those. “They have the performance of a high-fired body but at a lower temperatureand that saves a lot of energy.” Factory manager, director and part-owner Doug Hocken has been with Clayworks since 1990.
He said Clayworks customers were also innovating to combat cheap Chinese imports. “Little studio potters are now eking their way into that part of the market place and supplying designer, one-off type ware,” he said. “The cafe set is demanding a personalised experience. Part of that personalised experience is having your food served on a unique plate.” Visit www.clayworksaustralia.com for more information. - CASEY NEILL
Plaza to be sold for $200m DANDENONG Plaza is up for sale. Owner The GPT Group expects the 57,116 square metre shopping centre to fetch $200 million. JLL’s Australian head of retail investments Simon Rooney will market it via an International Expressions of Interest (EOI) campaign which will close on Thursday 5 November. The centre includes Kmart and Target department stores, Coles, Woolworths and Aldi supermarkets, Reading Cinemas, 14 mini major tenancies, 142 specialty stores, 24 kiosks, 15 ATMs and car parking for 3248 vehicles. Last year the centre unveiled a rejuvenation of the former Myer store area and new shops in Aldi, JB Hi-Fi Home, Daiso and Trade Secret, which Mr Rooney said had enjoyed solid sales growth. He said there was record demand for large shopping centres and he expected Dandenong Plaza to be keenly sought given its significant size, recent successful tenancy remixing and long-term major tenants.
75,000 jobs on the way UNEMPLOYMENT rates are climbing but there’s good news for young people. South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN) CEO Andrew Simmons told a Migrant Youth Employment Forum at Dandenong Civic Centre on 15 September that jobs were on the way. He said youth unemployment rates were the worst they’d been for 14 years and many entry-level jobs had disappeared. But Mr Simmons said the Department of Employment predicted that about 45,000 jobs would be created in the south east over the next five years, with the greatest number appearing in the health care and social assistance sectors. He said that coupled with the 30,000 jobs retirees would vacate in the next five years, there would be 75,000 job opportunities in the region. The forum audience also received advice from Bunnings Victoria regional learning co-ordinator Darren Moulder, Target regional manager Paul Newnham, Skillinvest operations manager Paul Konig, Metalsa Australia HR manager Esperanza Sugay and Wurth Australia human capital manager Kelly Alford.

Classified Advertising Sales Consultant - Full Time
DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL
Are you experienced in sales and enjoy dealing with customers over the phone? We are a thriving media company who need an additional member to join our Classified Advertising Team, based at our office in Pakenham. If you are a motivated, passionate and reliable individual who enjoys a fast paced team environment and you are looking for full time work close to home, then apply today! Your role will involve developing new advertising across our network of publications. The successful applicant must possess previous sales experience, have competent computer skills, a clear speaking voice, be well presented and have an organised ‘can do’ attitude. A desire to succeed and work within an efficient and focused team is important. Experience in advertising sales is an advantage, but not essential. To apply send your resume with covering letter to:
The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.

SRI Samy is a CEO without a salary. As head of volunteer group Friends of Refugees, she’s poured in not only 50-plus hours a week but her own money. Her donations are spontaneous.To fuel up the group’s delivery truck, which supplies furniture and food to impoverished new arrivals in Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong.To feed a family newlyreleased from a detention centre who are dropped off at a house without basic essentials such as mattresses. “I believe I’m lucky to have food on my table and a roof over my head. “I’m not rich but I have enough to lead a decent life. I don’t have time to reflect on my future. “My mother said to me the person who planted the seed will reap the harvest.” Sri is now creating social enterprises to help new arrivals garner an income. In recent years, many asylum seekers released into the community were powerless to improve their plight, banned from working under their visa conditions. Most are without serviceable English and job-skills training, for starters. Without government funding, Friends of Refugees collects bikes for children at Christmas, set up a men’s woodwork shop, women’s support groups, English and work skills classes, children’s homework tuition and pitched in with food, beds, fridges and other necessities. Sri is frustrated the ‘professionals’ such as governmentfunded agencies and the three tiers of government can’t do or spend more. It’s a system that “doesn’t care enough”. Employed people from funded agencies help only 9-5 and within their budgets, Sri says. They often refer clients to Friends of Refugees for a chopout. “The federal government
just handballs it,” she said. “They just want these people to go back (to their homelands) in frustration. After two years of talking to Greater Dandenong Council, she says a body to co-ordinate the agencies and volunteers helping asylum seekers has still not been set up. “They say they don’t have the money with rates-capping and things. “They just do the symbolic things. They design an action plan and beautiful flags but what have they done for asylum seekers who are actually living there. “We have so many meetings but they’re wasting my time.” A wife, mum and trained
for help. One day, she asked a household of two newlyreleased families, each with several kids, what they needed. They said they wanted mattresses and kitchen utensils. “I noticed they didn’t have anything to eat. They reluctantly said ‘we desperately need food.’ “They had just been released from the detention centres and had nothing.” After buying them vegetables and other foods, Sri told them: “We will give you everything we can.” For 45 days, she cooked for a hospitalised woman who had exotic dietary needs because there was no-one else. “It has been emotionally

architect, Sri says her personal and professional lives are on hold. Her day starts about 4am to trawl through emails - then the school run and off to work where she picks up volunteers, runs programs, works out what programs are needed. She picks up her daughter Krisha from school, followed by more meetings and visits to the detention centre. It can be late at night before she gets home. Sri has been the main-stayer of a group of like-minded people who started Friends of Refugees in 2013. “I got involved because I was quite disturbed to see people sleeping on floors. “I come from India and I know what poverty is. “We lived in a First World country.

It’s personally taken a lot of toll on me - just moving from one thing to the other.” A new wave of volunteers has helped lighten Sri’s workload - people with business backgrounds who can help on the social enterprise project. The employment program is about training up asylum seekers, identifying their skills and then employing them in social enterprises - which double as potential income for the group. The services include garden maintenance, food catering, furniture removal, repairs - using the tools and skills already within the group. Sri says the group is proof of a community spirit at odds with the government’s punative approach to asylum seekers. Recently the group successfully crowdfunded to buy a $30,000 replacement truck. “I’ve come across such generosity from people offering time and donations. “I have never come across a person who said refugees aren’t welcome.” To help Friends of Refugees, go to friendsofrefugees.org.au

Words loud as actions By JARROD POTTER THE final siren had sounded on Dandenong Stingrays’ season. Post-match talks had ended, final warm-downs and stretches had just begun in earnest as the players prepared for one last 2015 dip in the dreaded icebaths. For some of the 22-selected Stingrays, they took off their jumpers, placed them on a neat folded pile on the floor in the Princes Park change room and bid farewell to the TAC Cup. One of the last to take off his jumper, the one he’s worn for 32 TAC Cup matches in two seasons, was fittingly the man who led the side onto the field week-in, week-out - Dandenong Stingrays captain Lachlan Williams. The 18-year-old from Somerville had been the most vocal throughout the day and across the year in whole. His was the last man the Stingrays heard before they went down the race onto the famous Carlton oval on Saturday as he pumped up his side before the first bounce. Once again Williams did that at half-time when the team needed a rev-up before returning to the field. Williams finished what will likely be his last TAC Cup clash with 20 possessions and a number of forward-entries - playing his role throughout the forward half - as the Stingrays tried but couldn’t mount a comeback. In one of his final tasks as the captain, Williams was one of the loudest Stingrays telling his mates to keep their heads high after the season-ending 28-point TAC Cup preliminary final loss to Eastern Ranges. That was customary throughout Williams’s time at the head of the leadership group in 2015 - as round after round he’d lead vocally as much as by action - he’d be heard clearly in the locker rooms, in the huddle and on-the-field in the middle of the
action. Williams knows it’s a thrill just to become a TAC Cup player but to become the side’s leader has been his proudest football accolade. “It’s been a big honour they’re a really good bunch of blokes and I’m pretty speechless at the moment,” Williams said after the match on Saturday. “It’s pretty heart-breaking at the moment but every bloke I can see in this room today I’ve made a better relationship with them. “We’re all from different areas with the three different leagues - and I couldn’t think of a better bunch of blokes to play footy with and win or lose, I hold close to my heart how much I love these guys and it’s something I’ll never forget.” It’s been a challenging year for the midfielder/forward who was rushed to hospital partway through the season with an inflamed appendix requiring emergency surgery. But in a strange way the surgery helped him out tremendously - giving him time out of the game through June and July to dig deeper on the training track and eventually thrive in his final seven clashes. “It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster year for myself - the appendix was all new to me, but I learned a lot off it and I couldn’t thank the staff enough - especially Octo, he tried to get me on the park as much as possible and get my fitness up and the result has been amazing,” Williams said. “I’ve played some better footy coming back from it, feel a lot fitter and it’s probably a blessing in disguise the way it happened.” Season’s end holds a different feel for Williams and his TAC Cup brethren. There isn’t next year for this group to bounce back; the topage players graduate the program to pursue senior ambitions while a new group of 16 and 17-year-olds will try to continue
One last forward entry for the Dandenong skipper Lachlan Williams in his final TAC Cup Picture: JARROD POTTER match. 144584 the traditions the alumni hold dear. To the AFL the best will go, others onwards to the VFL and local leagues but the skipper knows that the red, black and yellow will always course through his veins and every other player who was lucky enough to become a Dandenong Stingray. “Once you’re a Stingray player, you’re a Stingray for life,” Williams said.
“It just shows from the past, the amount of players that have gone onto the AFL and VFL, how much they look back at their time wearing the Stingray jersey. “No doubt we’re going to have some players go on to the top level and some going in other ways to VFL or local but we’ll back on this and think about the journey we had together - it started back in November as Blacky (coach Craig
Black) said and I just couldn’t be more thankful to play with these type of guys as they’re a ripper bunch of blokes.” Williams’s next footballing task will technically be as an individual - running around Etihad Stadium at the Victorian State Combine testing day later this year - but it’s clear he’ll still be a leader, as he cheers for his team-mates in pursuit of their AFL dreams.
Heard helps Cougars to success THE Keysborough Cougars ended a highly successful BIG V season with one last accolade. Champion import Malcolm Heard added another trophy to his cabinet with the Wilmington College alumnus earning a place in the Division 2 Men’s All Star Five. Sharing the court with grand final rival Manny Hendrix, Craigieburn’s Jonathan Maybank, Patrick Manifold (Oakleigh) and Darren Galloway (Pakenham), Heard gave the Cougars’ men’s program one last taste of success in 2015. While he didn’t pick up the MVP - edged out by Western Port rival Manny Hendrix - Heard had plenty to celebrate from his inaugural Australian basketball season as he helped the Cougars claim the Division 2 Men’s championship. Billie Lucas - Keysborough women’s dominant guard - finished the season as the Division 2 Women’s leading scorer and earned her own place in the All Star Five. Dandenong’s Youth Championship sides also featured prominently in the awards with Jordan Jacotine and Bree Whatman inducted to the YCM and YCW All Star Five sides respectively. Also impressing from Dandenong was SEABL and YCM forward/centre prospect Mason Peatling as the 18-year-old from Berwick received the YCM Rookie of the Year award. Former Dandenong junior and WNBL player Carley Mijovic was named to the All-Star Five - for the BIG V State Championship Women’s division - as was former Dandenong SEABL player Brent Hobba (Division 1 Men).
Knee problems didn’t stop champ Galileos from rocking the joint EVEN with the rigours of an expanded repertoire and recovering from dual knee injuries did not stop Nick Galileos from taking his spot atop the swimming podium. Galileos, 16, from Dandenong, swam strongly at the opening meet of the summer swimming season - the Swimming Victoria Short Course Age Championships - with a new found passion. The Casey TigerSharks dynamo - who has starred in short and middle distance racing throughout his time at the state level - amazed the field with a scintillating 16.04.68 minutes 1500m for
the under 15-18 race. His efforts were strong enough to earn him the gold - showing the TigerSharks’ newly acquired might in the distance events. “I started my state championships with the 1500m freestyle - coming back from injury it was a bit of an unknown how I was going to go, but to win that was pretty good,” Galileos said. “I suppose I did the 1500m through training really - I was going alright at training with all the distance works so I thought I might give it a crack.” But it could have been completely different season for the Dandy dynamo - who
had been derailed by knee problems on each leg. “Was just my knee - knee injuries, had one late last year then one earlier this year on different knees,” Galileos said. “One was for three weeks and the other was about two, so I was out of the water for about five weeks.” Galileos didn’t let the knees slow his podium progress at the age championships, though, as he also picked up third in the 200m and 400m freestyle events as well as the 200m under-16 boys butterfly. “Four hundred free bronze in the 18 and unders - then also bronze in the 200m free and 200m but-
terfly,” Galileos said. “Four out of four podiums from all my swims so that was really good, too.” He backed up his 1500m gold medal swim in the age championships with second at the open short course championships in the 1518 men’s event, third in the 200m butterfly and 400m freestyle. The summer swimming season has already been hectic for Galileos as he the former National age champion was one of the TigerSharks added to Swimming Victoria’s Performance Squad, which went into camp in July for the Victorian Development Program.

Trainer makes final break By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG Stingrays have lost a link to their origins with long-time trainer Brian Hunt choosing to end his time in the TAC Cup. After nearly a quarter of a century spent on the Stingrays’ sidelines Hunt, 76, decided it was time to pack away the water bottles and trainer’s kit and let someone else take up his customary spot in the forward pocket. He made it clear that this finals campaign would be his last and his final season came to an end on Saturday as Dandenong was defeated in a preliminary final by the Eastern Ranges. Since the inaugural 1992 TAC Cup season, Hunt has been a perennial part of the trainers’ set up, with his club affiliation pre-dating the Stingrays in many respects as he joined in 1991 when the club formed. He came across from the old AFL/VFL Under-19s system when it was reformatted into the TAC Cup and has been a Shepley Oval fixture ever since. While he won’t miss the cold training nights or freezing
weekend mornings manning the boundary, the softly-spoken Hunt - who would have much preferred to recede into retirement quietly and without any fuss - said it was exciting to be part of the Stingrays and he had loved every moment as part of the Dandenong community. “It’s been good while I’ve been there - had a lot of good talent managers and made some great friends there that I’ve had for a long time,” Hunt said. Dandenong region manager Mark Wheeler made sure Hunt wouldn’t exit without just celebration and applause from the Stingrays’ parents and players after the preliminary final loss. Wheeler said Hunt’s involvement with the team was incredible and he was one of those invaluable contributors that had helped form the culture at Dandenong.“He’s been amazing from day dot with the Hawthorn-St Kilda merger of the 19s, he came with it and he’s been here ever since,” Wheeler said. “To have someone like that for 24 years you just can’t replace that, so we’re massively proud of him.”

Gun Hulett puts his exhibition skills on show
Liam Hulett relished his opportunity in the Young Guns Game on Sunday. 144602
IT WASN’T the match he would have loved to play in over the weekend, but there were plenty of positives to take away from a Young Guns Game appearance for Dandenong Stingrays utility Liam Hulett. Instead of featuring in Dandenong’s preliminary final against Eastern on Saturday - where he was just too raw to return to the line-up in the do-or-die clash- the exhibition match was a welcome distraction for Hulett and his difficult season so far. Hulett has been mired with injury throughout 2015 as his ankle caused havoc with his top-age TAC Cup campaign and restricted him to just two Stingrays matches this year. “Obviously this year hasn’t really gone to plan for me with the injury that’s put me out for most of the season but it’s good
to be playing footy again,” Hulett said. “I did the ligaments in my ankle pretty badly, but I’m all past that now and onwards and upwards from here.” The 193cm utility who played mostly with Bonbeach instead of the Stingrays this season - was given the call-up to the Young Guns Game to give recruiters one last chance to watch him on-field this year before the looming AFL National and Rookie Drafts. Hulett featured predominantly in an unusual position for the ruck/forward ... playing mostly at centrehalf-back but he took his unique challenge in his stride and made it his own. He held strong on the Black Team forwards and streamed out of defence, booting it long to set up his one-day-only midfield and forward team mates.
Hulett’s Green Team ran away with the match from the second quarter onwards to build a 62-point lead over the Black Team by the final siren. “I suppose it’s a pretty good honour and it’s good to get another game of footy under my belt,” Hulett said. “It was good out there; I was expecting to play up forward but was switched down back for most of the game, so it was good to have a run down at centrehalf-back and all that.” Next up for Hulett is the AFL State Combine on 11 October at Etihad Stadium. “Hopefully test really well, put my best foot forward and there’s nothing much else I can do from there,” Hulett said. “Just want to test well and the rest will look after itself.” - JARROD POTTER

By DEREK OGDEN THE Hyundai Genesis: it’s hard to know where to start. Hyundai’s flagship delivers eye-watering high levels of automotive technology and refinement at astonishingly low prices. The first-generation lefthand-drive only BH Genesis set the standard with rave reviews and major awards, including the 2009 North American Car of the Year, now the all-new second-generation DH model eclipses this in many ways. The basic Genesis is bursting at the seams with innovative high-tech kit, some of which is an expensive addition in European rivals, and others not at all, yet it comes to Australia market for a mere $60,000. This can be topped up with more features from two packs, Sensory and Ultimate, for $71,000 and $82,000 respectively. Hyundai took the middle ground with our road test vehicle, the Genesis Sensory Pack. Genesis has a one-piece hexagonal grille, HID headlights, LED indicators and daytime running lights, a sweeping line along its flanks, aerodynamic boot
The new Genesis has Hyundai punching above its weight in the luxury sedan division. lid, and ‘jewelled’ LED taillights. The wheelbase of 3010mm is not only longer than that of a BMW 5 Series but also 1mm longer than the wheelbase of a Holden Caprice and translates to a generous amount of space for occupants. It’s a premium look all round with widespread use of soft-touch materials, timber-style trim surrounds and real aluminium detail, while double-stitched, perforated leather-appointed front seats offer 12-way adjustment for the driver. The test vehicle’s Sensory Pack has an extendable seat-cushion for under-thigh
support, bolster adjustment and four-way lumbar-support adjustability. Attention to detail is characterised by a new dash top designed to decrease reflections in the windscreen. The stylish centre console features a square clock that’s synchronised via satellite. An impressive 9.2-inch wide-view touchscreen is centrally located on the dash. It gives offers access to satellite navigation incorporating Here maps, Suna live traffic updates, and a comprehensive Point of Interest database. Also included is Here
MapCare where up to three years free mapping updates are provided when the vehicle is serviced at a participating Hyundai dealer. The touchscreen also acts as a display for the Genesis around-view monitor, providing a 360-degree bird’seye view of the vehicle. In amazing attention to detail, the Grammy Lexicon sound system utilises 17 speakers uses an algorithm program to the car’s interior contours and trim materials. Genesis sedans are powered by Hyundai’s 3.8-litre V6 engine, driving the rear wheels through an in-house eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Lambda II uses Gasoline Direct Injection, triangular-pattern fuel injectors, Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing, three-stage variable induction, all-aluminium block and heads, steel timing chain and iridium-tipped spark plugs. Hyundai Genesis was awarded the highest ever ANCAP score achieved in local crash testing. Passive safety equipment includes nine airbags, pretensioner seatbelts and antiwhiplash head restraints. Active safety features are smart cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot detection, lane change assist, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert and smart high beam. There has been great attention given to in-cabin noise, vibration and harshness suppression with extensive use of sound-deadening measures. The 3.8-litre high-tech V6 engine has impressive performance off the mark (zero-to-100 km/h acceleration is a claimed 6.5 seconds). Combined fuel consumption is listed as 11.2 litres per 100 kilometres.

ence what the guys and gals in GM-Holden’s exhaust department have given us. A mild facelift and tail tuck is part of the VFII package. The emphasis on the LS3 sees it getting functional bonnet vents and fascia duct. These are certainly not just for show, being developed by Holden engineers with support from Melbourne’s Monash University wind tunnel. The heavily revised V8 is backed up by upgraded FE3 rear sports suspension said to increase ride comfort while retaining sharp handling. The top-of-the-line SSV Redline gets Brembo brakes front and rear which sounds like the makings of a weekend track-day machine to us. Harking back to a once glorious Commodore past, Holden’s chairman and managing director Mark Bernhard described the Commodore VFII as the culmination of nearly four decades of design, engineering and manufacturing expertise. “We made a commitment to keep this iconic car exciting and
relevant for Australian motorists and that is exactly what we have done. This is the vehicle that our Commodore customers have been asking for,” Mr Bernhard said. “Commodore VFII is powerful and refined, it will evoke emotion in its driver and exhibits all of the hallmarks Commodore has become renowned for over the years. “Holden’s design, engineering and manufacturing teams have produced the best Commodore ever - a vehicle that truly lives up to its reputation and one that the entire company is incredibly proud of. “This is the reason Holden is committed to ensuring we will continue to have engineering and design input into Commodore, and every other Holden vehicle in our range, for generations to come.” Immediately following the full Adelaide-based media launch we will provide details of the full Commodore VFII range, with initial driving impressions.

THERE are sure to be tears when the final Australian-made Holdens roll down the production line in 2017 but there were certainly no signs of any at the weekend when Holden announced details of the final major changes to the Commodore. Reflecting on the past and looking to the future, Holden set up a huge Commodore Gallery at its Port Melbourne HQ to announce its future plans to the media. Examples of all 37 years of Commodore to date were on display, not just cars you see on the streets, there were also concept cars and models that were exported, particularly to the USA. Then it was time for us to move onto the reveal of the very last Commodore model, a facelift of the VF named, without a great deal of imagination, the VFII. Though it will be offered in a variety of day-to-day sedans and wagons, the big emphasis for the latest Commodore is on a heavily revised version of the much loved LS3 6.2-litre V8. Possibly the last V8 engine ever to be offered in a Commodore as it’s likely its imported replacements will be four-cylinder turbo-petrols, and naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol V6s. The latest LS3 will give subfive-second time to 100 km/h, the first time a Commodore has squeezed into the four-second bracket. This requires 304 kW of power and a very useful 570 Nm of torque so it will be a stunner on the road. In true marketing fashion, Holden is holding back on details of the LS3 at this stage, teasing us by only talking about the sounds it produces. Holden tells us its engineers have developed a bi-modal exhaust system with what’s called a Baillie Tip, a mechanical sound enhancer. This aural package will be installed in the sports variants, the SS, SSV and SSV Redline. We will have to wait until we drive the VFII at its launch in Adelaide in the first week of October for our ears to experi-
