Mr Matthews suffered several lacerations to his head and a fractured sternum, called triple zero at 2.53am and stated he had been “bashed by a woman and a bloke". Police found him dead in his bathroom at 3.32am. Justice Rush said Mr Matthews “suffered cardiac arrest as a consequence of the stress of the assaults and potentially from loss of blood". He said the injuries from Robb’s assault were not in themselves lifethreatening, plus there was evidence that Rachele played a greater role in

Mr Matthews’ injuries than he admitted at trial. “I am not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that you are responsible for the fractured sternum,” he told Robb. Justice Rush said Robb had a “tumultuous upbringing”. Forensic psychologist Pamela Matthews diagnosed her with partial posttraumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder. “It was her view that your outbursts of volatile anger, anxiety and distress arising from this mental condition were significant contributing factors of your offending,” Justice Rush said. Robb has prior convictions for theft, threats to kill, assault and resisting po-

He took into account Robb’s recent attendance at an anger management course and drug and alcohol counselling in reaching his sentence. Rachele was on 3 September sentenced to a one-year community corrections order after pleading guilty to one charge of recklessly causing injury and false imprisonment.

A HALLAM mother of four has been jailed for four years after bashing her Noble Park landlord to death in his own home. Kristy Robb, 28, was on 25 September convicted of the manslaughter of Alan Matthews, 69, on 30 January last year. Justice Jack Rush on Wednesday 28 October sentenced her to four years in jail with a two and a half year nonparole period. The judge said Robb rented a bungalow at the rear of Mr Matthews’ Henry Street property for “a matter of days” in January last year.
Justice Rush said Mr Matthews “claimed you owed him rent and, as a consequence of this, he retained some of your property”. Robb shared a bottle of vodka and two to three cannabis joints with her boyfriend Gino Rachele, 42, before attending Mr Matthews’ property about 2.45am on 30 January to retrieve school uniform items for her children. Justice Rush accepted the timing was to avoid Mr Matthews and “there was no planning in your actions”. Mr Matthews heard Robb and Rachele break into the bungalow and confronted Robb in the lounge room. They argued and fought before Rachele grabbed the victim from be-

How did this happen?? Again??? Christmas is only around the corner. It’s time to start thinking about gifts and school holidays... If you have a little girl or boy - your own or a relative’s - check out the bikes below. XDS, while new to the market in Australia, provide excellent bikes at a ridiculously good price point. Almost too good to refuse...

ike to encourage your child to ride?
Well, this XDS is exceptionally light, easy to use ,and importantly it looks great! Kids often struggle with a heavy bike with big fat tyres that are great offroad, but resist rolling on the bike paths and paved surfaces that most kids ride on. The Strike has some very appealing features for young children. First, as I said before the bike is exceptionally light. The frame is made of X6 aluminium, made stronger, so that the frame can be made stronger while using less materials, resulting in a frame that is very light, yet stronger than similar, heavier frames. Then, this frame is painted and baked, VR WKDW WKH ÂżQLVK QRW RQO\ ORRNV JUHDW EXW LV tough. So tough that it will resist scratching and even deterioration from being left out in the back \DUG 1RW WKDW RXU NLGV ZRXOG GR WKDW 7KH ÂżQLVK is available in 3 appealing colours for boys and 4 colours for girls.You can see for yourself, the bikes look great.
The gears use more expensive levers than is generally available on kids bikes. The result is a lighter action, that is much easier for small hands to manage. There are only 8 gears, but the range is ideal for most areas. The advantages are simplicity, as there is only one shift lever to manage, less cost, and lighter weight. All important features. The tyres are suitable for either paved or loose surfaces. They will roll well on bitumen, but are capable of being taken on rough tracks. Of course they are not as good as a fatter, heavier tyre for more serious off-road, but few kids really need that. If yours do, then the Strike 4.0 is a better choice. There are a few basic items that rate a PHQWLRQ 7KH ELNH LV ÂżWWHG ZLWK D VWDQG $QG WKH saddle. It is so comfortable compared to many other brands. Byk is the only brand that can compare with this bike for lightweight and features.
T
hese days most bikes have suspension, at least 21 gears and are quite heavy. It’s not always what a young girl would prefer, its simply what the manufacturers think is desired. Xds have gone against this trend, as have Byk and built some modelsl with younger kids in mind. This bike has an extra light frame, a good quality gear system with strong light wheels. The emphasis is clearly on simplicicty and ease of riding. And it works. This bike simply rolls along easily, and it is light to lift, simple to manouver and very easy to pedal up hills or along the bike paths. It is so light and easy the kids will love it. Kids frames are usually made from FKHDSHU DOXPLQLXP ZKLFK LV ¿QH LW LV PRUH WKDQ adequate for anything most kids will do. But it can
be a little heavy. These frames are made of higher quality aluminium, which makes a lighter frame that is just as strong. The handlebars have lots of adjustment, so that you can raise them as your child grows, or, IRU OHVV FRÂżGHQW NLGV WKH KDQGOHEDUV FDQ EH NHSW relatively high, so that they can sit upright. The tyres have less rolling resistance WKDQ WKRVH JHQHUDOO\ ÂżWWHG WR NLGV ELNHV MXVW WR KHOS them roll easier. Just makes it a little easier for the kids to keep up with stronger riders. Paintwork is simple, just a high quality baked enamel,that appeals to kids(hopefully) and is ideal for those times our kids forget to put their bikes away. Not that your kids would do that!

Doves shoot for a second club court THE Doveton Netball Club won’t be able to survive if it doesn’t acquire a second court at its home ground, according to its president. With only the one court at its Robinson Reserve facility, club president Amanda Dean said her organisation did not have the capacity to host a final, even if Doveton finished high enough on
the ladder deserve one. “Our club can never tend to our league to host finals,” Ms Dean said. “Clubs who host a final might make $10,000 to $15,000 just from a day ... it’s an enormous disadvantage to our club. “We struggle to compete with the bigger clubs like Berwick and Cranbourne.” During the season the team is
forced to rent a court up the road to host around five of its teams, which comes at a considerable cost. “It comes at quite a big cost to our club and a fairly substantial cost to the footy club overall,” Ms Dean said. “For the nine games we host during the year, there’s potentially 100 people not coming through the football gate, and each of those families pays roughly $10 at the canteen.
Four netted in raid
“We just can’t get the numbers through on one court.” Ms Dean told Star News she has been holding discussions with Casey Council representatives about her concerns. It’s understood one solution includes looking into the viability of converting some nearby tennis courts which are currently leased out by Casey Council, and managed by the Waverley Tennis Association.
Sam Aziz is back in the big chair
Stolen car hits pole A Range Rover stolen from a home garage has been crashed into a pole in Doveton. Kingston Crime Investigation Unit detectives have been told that a woman took the four-wheel-drive from a garage in Governor Arthur Drive, Patterson Lakes, about 7am on 18 October. The owner heard the woman start the car, ran to the garage and tried to open the door but she drove off, police said. At 8.15am the vehicle crashed into a pole near the intersection of Paperbark Street and Hawthorn Road in Doveton. The woman, described as Caucasian and in her 30s, stopped the vehicle in a nearby car park and fled. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.
By LACHLAN MOORHEAD SAM Aziz was elected the new mayor of Casey on Monday after no-one else nominated for the role during the public meeting. Star News understands Cr Gary Rowe planned to nominate himself but backed away at the last minute after it was made clear he wouldn’t have the numbers in a private council meeting prior to the public election at 5.30pm on Monday. Apart from councillors Rowe, Rafal Kaplon, Susan Serey and Rosalie Crestani, the rest of the chamber stood in favour of Cr Aziz’s appointment. Cr Crestani raised dissent but was not permitted to air it by Cr Mick Morland, who oversaw the election in one of his last official duties as the 2015 mayor. In an interesting move councillors Morland and Wayne Smith were elected as joint deputy mayors. Cr Aziz, who served as mayor in 2011, was appointed to the position again despite the Councillor Conduct Panel earlier his month issuing a finding of misconduct against him for referring to Cr Kaplon as a “parasitic mosquito” in an email. Both councillors told Star News last week the issue had been resolved. After donning the mayoral robes and re-entering the council chambers following a welcoming call from the town crier, Mayor Aziz said it was a “great honour” to be elected into the position for a second time. “I’m very humbled by the opportunity and the confidence shown to me by the vast majority of my colleagues,” he said. “Last time I served as mayor
FOUR people were arrested and two allegedly stolen cars were seized after police raided a Doveton property last week. An 18-year-old woman, a 29-year-old man, a 27-year-old man and a 17-year-old man were all arrested after police seized the cars and a large amount of other stolen property, including power tools. The 17-year-old was remanded in custody while the others were charged and bailed to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court at a later date. One of the offenders was also found with a stolen credit card and $1000 cash on his person when he was arrested. The group has been charged with burglary offences and possessing proceeds of crime. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Shed fire injures squatter
Sam Aziz was elected the new mayor of Casey on Monday. 145930 we achieved some great things and I think we’ll do it again this time around. The city’s larger and more challenging so we’ve got lots to do and to accomplish for all our residents.” He said council needed to ensure those disadvantaged in Casey were taken care of. “We need to basically look after the disadvantaged of our community given all the social issues that are occurring and that’s why the work that we’ve done with Victoria Police and that we continually do is so very important,” Cr Aziz said.

A SQUATTER is fighting for life following a shed fire in Dandenong. Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said CFA crews attended the blaze at the rear of a Cleeland Street doctor’s surgery about 3.10am on Wednesday 21 October. He said a 37-year-old man had been squatting in the shed for some time. “He appears to have accidentally set a fire in the shed while sleeping,” he said. Sgt Kirton said fire investigators ruled the blaze non-suspicious without specifying a cause, but a lit candle was believed to be the cause. The fire caused extensive damage and the man suffered smoke inhalation. He said the man was conscious and speaking freely when taken to Dandenong Hospital but had since deteriorated.

Count on Transylvania's taste sensation By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE only horror within the chillingly-titled Cafe Transylvania is that few people seem to appreciate its hand-made Romanian sausages, cabbage rolls and cakes. Let’s just first dwell on the cakes at this new and unique Hallam eatery. They do justice to the lofty reputation of Eastern European cakes which are rarely found in this part of the world. The profiterole is unimaginably delicious - an artfully constructed slice of soft eclair, vanilla custard and thick chocolate layers. There’s the cozonaci, a sweet loaf like a panattoni filled with walnut, Turkish delight, vanilla and lemon zest. Chef and co-proprietor Ionela Maroti said she scanned far and wide for such sweets when she and husband Ion migrated to Hampton Park 11 years ago. “There were just so many sweets in Romania that I missed. I didn’t enjoy the cakes here.” Ionela’s passion and exacting dedication to her cookery is ignited by her grandmother Elizabeta. The wafting odours from her grandmother’s backyard bread oven on the outskirts of a Romanian village linger in Ionela’s memory.
EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL Her nostalgia is clear about snow creaking underfoot, spring flowers on trees and the rustling of the surrounding hornbeam forest. The cafe name is itself nostalgic - a tribute to her and Ion’s grandparents, and Ion’s birthplace Transylvania. The cevapi and other handmade sausages served at Café Transylvania are authentic replicas of what was served at Elizabeta’s little home as are the incredible cabbage rolls filled with Romanian thyme, sauerkraut, pork and rice. “I’m proud that we’re making our own stuff. Everything has to be fresh and made on the premises,” Ionela said. “We don’t want to be doing something that everyone else is doing.” Cafe Transylvania at Shop 4, Spring Square, Hallam, is open from Tuesday to Sunday. Phone 9796 5227.

Finding a home for the valuable records of the Berwick Historical Society is a problem for which the shire council still seeks a solution.

The matter had been discussed with the Shire President and Mr Chambers agreed that retention of the old police premises was desirable although sub - standard

The hospital’s births had grown annually from less than 400 in 2005 to about 2000 expected in 2016. “In a small hospital, which is where we have been, just one still-born baby makes the numbers look a lot bigger.” Prof Wallace said since the 2008/’12 reporting period, Casey and Dandenong hospitals had closed to “much closer to 100”. “Much of that is due to Casey getting bigger and bigger, and also because of the improvements across the service. “I don’t think there’s anything unique about Casey in terms of service and risks.” He noted also the stringent
review of birth cases and practices each month by a Monash Health committee. The health network’s “mission” was to score below 100 across all of its hospitals by 2016, he said. Casey Hospital maternity nurse unit manager Colleen White last week labelled recent media reports about the maternity unit as “disappointing” and “misleading”. “Casey Hospital is an extremely safe place to have a baby.” Ms White said the hospital had delivered “thousands of healthy babies” over the fiveyear period.”

CASEY Hospital has declared it is turning around reported higher-than average mortality rates for babies born at the hospital. At a community forum on Tuesday 27 October, a team of Monash Health maternity bosses responded to concerns raised by two expecting couples due to the figures. One father-to-be described the hospital’s perinatal mortality ratios for babies born at the hospital as “off the charts”. “If Casey Hospital has more low-risk births, why is (the ratio) so bad?” According to a state health department report, the hospital’s perinatal mortality ratio for babies born at 22 weeks was 168 in 2008/’12, well higher than the statewide benchmark of 100. For babies at 32 weeks, the ratio was 138, according to the Victorian perinatal services performance indicators 2008/’12 report. The rate was the secondhighest in the state, though the under-fire Bacchus Marsh Hospital was not featured in the report. Professor Euan Wallace, head of Monash Health’s obstetrics and gynaecology, told the forum that the high ratios were a product of the hospital’s small size during the reporting

Jams prompt Monash plan By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS ADDITIONAL lanes on the Monash Freeway are being considered by the State Government and CityLink operator Transurban, but the details are still sketchy. Roads Minister Luke Donnellan did not respond to Star News questions on the reported $400 million cost or whether added tolls were a possibility under the plan. He said the government was working on a long-term solution to ease congestion on the M1, which may include additional lanes. “As part of Transurban’s Western Distributor proposal, we asked them to consider what steps could be taken as part of a
corridor solution on the Monash to provide additional capacity. “We have been considering options that include additional lanes along the Monash that helps get more motorists to their destinations more efficiently and safely.” According to media reports, the option may comprise up to 10 lanes on the freeway between the South Gippsland Freeway and Eastlink and six lanes between Clyde Road and the South Gippsland Freeway. The Federal Government has recently signalled it was open to funding a widening of the M1 Clyde Road-South Gippsland Freeway section. Greens South-eastern Metropolitan Region MP Nina
Springle said better public transport was a more effective way to reduce road congestion. “The Monash keeps growing wider, but traffic isn’t getting better. That’s because new lanes fill up with extra cars and take us back to square one. “The only way to reduce congestion is by giving people alternatives to their car.” Ms Springle said the southeast was “starved” of public transport. It needed better buses and a rail-line to Rowville. “A rail-line to Rowville would take an entire lane of traffic off the Monash Freeway. “The State Government needs to abandon its toll road fantasy and get serious about mass transit.”

The accused, who represented himself during a bail application, explained to the court how he had been handcuffed in custody - and how he used those handcuffs to tear open a delicate part of his nether regions. Upon rejecting the bail attempt, the judge adjourned - with the off-the-cuff remark: “Blood-curdling story about the handcuffs.”
AN ACCUSED drug trafficker was under capsicum-spray armed guard as he unsuccessfully applied for bail in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. A teary and red-eyed Shane Cochrane of Bayswater was flanked by three police officers while in the dock as he made an in-person bail application after being arrested at the Sandown Hotel on 26 October. One of the officers held a can of capsicum spray as she stood next to the seated Cochrane. Police alleged in court that Cochrane had been found playing pokies with his family inside Sandown Hotel earlier that day. They had tracked him to a Toyota Soarer coupe he had been driving which was found in the car park earlier that day about 1.44am. CCTV footage confirmed that Cochrane had parked the car, in which police found about 500 mL of GHB in a plastic bottle in the drivers’ footwell. Also inside was a black bumbag containing three ziplock bags with about 11 grams of methamphetamine, police alleged. Police seized the suspected drugs as well as $854 cash in Cochrane’s wallet and scales on the car’s centre console, the court was told. He allegedly made full admissions to police about possessing the GHB, driving while suspended and driving an unregistered vehicle but denied he was trafficking. Cochrane also allegedly told police that he had installed number plates from a similar make and model car on the coupe, and had used drugs an hour before driving to Sandown. He described consuming 32 mL of GHB and 1.3 grams of ice a day, the court was told. Cochrane was on bail at the time awaiting trial for other drug trafficking and possession charges at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court. When asked to make his submission on 26 October, Cochrane said he’d “lost everything”. “The world’s come to an end.” Cochrane was remanded to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 25 November.

Newbies’ lessons By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS NEW arrivals’ lack of fire-smarts loom as a challenge ahead of a dry, perilous bushfire season, says the region’s CFA boss Trevor Owen. Assistant Chief Officer Owen, who oversees Victoria’s south-east including metropolitan Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia, said he’d like to see fire awareness taught in primary and high schools even in the suburbs. “We will continue to live amongst (native vegetation). It’s beautiful but incredibly dangerous. “When you think of the growing risk we face, and it’s not going to go away, we should be educating children about the dangers of bushfires. “We need to build it into schools so generations growing up appreciate the risk.” There should be a concerted campaign to inform leaders of our community’s varied cultures, he argued. “Many who come to Australia to live don’t understand the bushfire risk. They haven’t grown up around it and are oblivious. “How we work with the multicultural communities is an important factor.” The official fire season is expected to arrive early this year - sometime in November. Soils have dried and grassland fuel has built over consecutive rain-sparse years. Volunteers, as always, are the “backbone of the CFA’s firefighting power” this summer but more are needed to pitch in, Mr Owen said. He believes volunteer culture is one of Australia’s success stories. “It’s becoming increasingly difficult. Our average age (in the CFA) is getting older and there comes a time when our youth are going to have to step up. “What better thing to do in your life than protect another, than to go out there and do good for the community? “The Victorian community can’t afford a paid CFA workforce to replace its volunteers.” To underline the point, the CFA’s 1240
Mayor Cr Mick Morland all smiles about the cost reducing streetlights with the bills to prove it! 145963
‘Green’ light upgrades are one bright move Assistant Chief Officer Trevor Owen. 146297 brigades include just 33 that are staffed by paid fire-fighters. The CFA covers more of metro Melbourne than the MFB but those in the suburban interface areas also help cover for under-resourced rural brigades. “Volunteers in the metropolitan areas play such a critical role. They have got employers who can generously let them go and play a part. “They are needed to help in the farming communities where people can’t just go and walk off their property on a regular basis during summer.”
Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS During fire disasters, some spontaneously decide to “jump on the back of a fire truck”. However, at best, each volunteer requires three months of training to get fire-ready, Mr Owen said. As for himself, Mr Owen said he loves the CFA because of its family-like camaraderie and the calibre of its self-sacrificing recruits. “They are, in my opinion, of the highest order in the community. “To put your body and your life on the line for another is just something that says it all. “And it’s damned good fun.”
CASEY’S street lights have been upgraded and are greener than ever before. Delivering on its promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cut street lighting costs, the Casey council has changed more than 9000 old lights. Since November last year, thousands of mercury vapour streetlights have been upgraded to energy-efficient LEDs. A proud mayor Mick Morland said the new lighting technology had resulted in significant savings. “Analysis has showed
council has saved $193,000 and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 995 tonnes in the past six months alone,” Cr Morland said. “These savings are impressive, however not all of the lights had been converted to LEDs at the time of the analysis so these savings are expected to increase further.” The City of Casey expects to save about $700,000 a year on the street lighting upgrade. The greener lights have been installed in more than 16 suburbs across Casey including Endeavour Hills and Tooradin.

Laser treatment that is safe, effective and affordable! DANDENONG DERMATOLOGY CENTRE, WITH THEIR EXTENSIVE RANGE OF MEDICAL GRADE LASERS, OFFER LASER TREATMENT FOR MANY SKIN CONDITIONS AND MOST SKIN TYPES. The versatile Dual Yellow Copper Bromide laser is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of blemishes.
Who can be treated? Almost all skin types can be successfully treated with Dual Yellow laser for a wide range of blemishes, including vascular (red veins) and other lesions
Can all areas of the body be treated? Most areas including face, neck, chest, back, hands, arms and legs
How many treatments do I need? Most vascular (red veins) and pigmented (dark spots) need approximately 3-4 treatments
Does the treatment hurt? No anaesthetic is necessary and is well tolerated by most patients, with the sensation being described as a warm pinprick on the skin
Is the treatment safe? The Dual Yellow laser is operated by our experienced nurse/laser practitioner and is completely safe, targeting only the blemish
How soon will I see results? Mostly the results are immediate with the vascular lesions but some other lesions may take a week or so to improve
What conditions can be treated? Age spots on hands: Treatment to the backs of hands is very effective and removes unsightly sun damage or “age” spots. Freckles: Most common pigmented lesions are “freckles” caused by too much sun exposure. Sun damage: The yellow light helps generate new collagen, the essential protein for giving skin elasticity, so your skin will appear refreshed and its texture improved Skin tags: Skin tags and other benign raised lesions can be smoothed and flattened without damage to the surrounding skin Pigmentation/Melasma: This darkened skin discolouration typically appears on the sun exposed areas such as cheeks, forehead and nose. Treatment is effective and lighten the discolouration of the skin
Vascular lesions/Blood vessels: Broken capillaries or vascular lesions occur when the small capillaries become dilated; the laser shrinks the capillaries, providing instant cosmetic improvement.
WHAT’S NEW: The Ellipse is the latest generation IPL (intense pulse light). We can treat a variety of conditions safely: Rosacea: A common skin condition that causes red pimples, flushing and broken capillaries (telangiectasia) affecting mainly the cheeks and nose of adults. This irritating condition, often causing uncomfortable face flushing and can be safely treated with almost no down time and requiring approx 1-4 treatments at one month apart. The Ellipse laser can treat several skin types. Sun damage: Skin aging is accelerated by sun exposure. For the removal of age spots, uneven pigmentation and diffuse redness, the Ellipse laser is the latest technology available. Ellipse treatment of sun damaged skin help you keep a younger and fresher look with a full-face treatment taking less than 20 minutes. Again, most skin types can be treated. Acne: A common skin disease of teenagers, often affecting the face, neck, chest, shoulders and back, associated with overproduction of sebum (oily substance). Ellipse treatment is effective by slowing down the production of the sebum, with a typical course of therapy being four treatments at three weeks apart. Vascular lesions: These lesions can include port wine stains, broken capillaries, diffuse redness, haemangiomas and cherry angiomas. They can occur in many sizes and shapes and can be found all over the body. Most skin types are easily treated with the Ellipse being set at the correct energy output for your individual complexion.
All treatments are tailored to the individual and are safe, effective and affordable! Dandenong Dermatology Centre offers your first assessment consultation for free! To arrange an appointment just call 9791 3455.

Legal hurdles loom
‘One jail to another’ claim
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
A MAN on a bridging visa was facing possible deportation despite charges of making threats to kill his wife being dropped due to a lack of evidence. The Sri Lankan-born accused’s wife and nephew refused to be cross-examined on their statements to police over an alleged family violence incident in Endeavour Hills, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard on 26 October. On that basis, the court found their evidence over the 23 July incident was inadmissible. With the dropping of the most serious charges, the man agreed to plead guilty to one count of assault. He had made full admissions to punching his wife in the arm, where she had received an injection. The accused had denied claims that in a drunken rage, he tried to put a powerboard cable around her neck, and threatened to kill her as he held a butter knife towards her. According to a police summary, the wife of 10 years allegedly told police she had been abused on a daily basis and believed the applicant was capable of killing her while drunk. He had been found in a “highly intoxicated” state at the time. On 27 October, the man was convicted of the admitted assault and with breaching intervention orders. Defence lawyer Siva Kandasarmy told the court that the federal immigration department was involved in the matter. Due to the charge, the man would be released from custody, and was set to be transferred to a detention centre. A police prosecutor summed it up in court as follows: “Going from one jail to another jail.”
SPRINGVALE Monash Legal Service has announced a reduced 2014-'15 profit amid profound funding challenges ahead. At its annual general meeting on 28 October, the service’s balance sheet showed a yearly profit of less than $5000 - built on abandoning $86,000 of office renovations and outreach services. Executive director Kristen Wallwork said the service had heard nothing from newly-installed Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on reversing 30 per cent funding cuts from 2017. In the meantime, funding levels are frozen at pre-2014 levels despite spiralling wage costs, she said. “What we’re trying to do is plan and manage the service so we can wear it without cuts to services. “It’s hampering us because I’m scared of setting up outreach services. “There’s research which shows there are legal service gaps in this region but what’s the point of setting it up for 12 months if there’s no funding after that?” Ms Wallwork expressed gratitude for a recent $100,000 state funding injection to help chronically-ill Monash Health patients with legal matters such

The funding will also cover boosting duty lawyers and services for family violence - the service’s most prevalent legal matter. In 2014-'15, the service provided
legal advice to more than 3600 clients, of which about 65 per cent were low income. The meeting celebrated 42 years of community legal service, including a successful 20-year partnership with South Eastern Centre Against Sexual
Assault and 40 years with Monash University Law School. It also unveiled its new patron, the soon-to-resign Justice Shane Marshall who spoke openly on his serious depression and his hope for a less stressful life after 20 years on the bench.
Racial attack rejected after woman assaulted in Melbourne CBD A DANDENONG woman is “surprised” by suggestions that prejudice was behind her assault in Melbourne’s CBD. East Police Station’s Acting Sergeant Sean Toohey said the 21-yearold Muslim woman was walking along Swanston Street, outside the State Li-
brary, about 1.10pm on Thursday (29 October). She received a single punch to the right side of her head, causing her to fall to the ground and hit the left side of her head. Sgt Toohey said paramedics examined the victim at the scene but she did
not require hospitalisation. “There’s been no information here to say that this is prejudice-motivated,” he said. “The victim has told us that nothing was said to her, she just felt the strike to the head. “She actually said to us that she saw

A POPULAR Doveton mascot has been awarded a special citizenship certificate. The larger-than-life reading mascot, Rex the Possum, received the honorary citizenship certificate on Thursday 22 October in recognition of his contribution to local childhood literacy. The brainchild of Doveton College, Rex has spent his first year bringing stories and excitement to children throughout the community, regularly visiting the local Doveton Library, schools and early learning centres to share in reading activities. Rex’s work, which is co-ordinated by a coalition of community groups led by United Way Australia, is playing a critical role in raising awareness and support for early literacy throughout Doveton. “We know almost one in four kids currently start school without the basics they need to be able to learn. “The majority of these children will never catch up,” United Way’s Community Impact co-ordinator Marina Savron said. “Getting young children excited about books, and encouraging them to develop the habit of picking up a book instead of the iPad or TV remote, can help them develop the skills they need to succeed at school and in later life.”

Service marks loss By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS KHODAYAR Amini was a persecuted man “lost and uncertain where to find help”, a moving service in a Dandenong park was told on 24 October. More than 200 mourners laid flowers and lit candles at the spot in Robert Booth Reserve where the Afghan asylum seeker burned himself to death under trees six days earlier. The service was organised by members of the Hazara community since Mr Amini had no family or friends in Dandenong. Speakers included student Kobra Moradi, Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams, Greater Dandenong councillor Matthew Kirwan and human rights activist John Gulzari. Mr Gulzari noted that the service coincided with the day of Ashura, the “saddest day in the Islamic calendar”. He said Mr Amini’s writings showed “a man persecuted by a system of uncertainty, terrified he would be deported, deeply mistrusting of authority”. “He was a man lost and uncertain where to find help. It made me sick to my stomach to imagine his torment.” He urged mourners to “get up and do something” against “harsh government policies ... literally driving people to madness and, in more than one case, suicide”. Mr Gulzari said 31,000 asylum seekers on bridging visas in Australia lived in a state of uncertainty. They were “labelled ‘illegal’
An image of Khodayar Amini at the service. 145947 when they have done nothing wrong”. “And I ask you all, how long will we permit this cruelty being committed in our name by our government?” Cr Kirwan called for the end to mandatory detention, and for a “fair and just processing system that doesn’t leave (asylum seekers) waiting in limbo for years”. “That someone, because they fear of being returned to
immigration detention and to be sent back to Afghanistan, could take their own life is, to me, not acceptable. “Let’s hope that Khodayar’s death is not in vain.” Ms Williams said the current regime’s “cruelty” had a “disastrous impact” on asylum seekers’ health and wellbeing. Their aim was simply to build a better life for themselves and their loved ones, she said.

NEW HOMES & LAND
CERTAINTY MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE When people make that first step towards building their new home, they want to feel nothing but excitement and confidence in their builder and their ability to produce the ideal home.

At every stage of the build, from contracts to design to the handover, the G.J. Gardner Homes team will guide clients through the process and keep them informed. The feeling of certainty is delivered to through GJ+, the company’s highest service standards and comprehensive range of checklists combined into the simple set of commitments it offers to its customers. They include comprehensive communication standards, highly evolved sales consultant checklists, fixed response times for information, fixed build time and contracts, and fixed contract price (rock exclusion in some areas).

NEW HOMES & LAND
INSPIRED INVESTMENTS Inspired Homes boasts an extensive portfolio of investment packages in all popular locations. The philosophy of many investors is to buy the cheapest they can in the hope that they will get better returns in the long term. Inspired Homes offers a point of difference, providing better quality homes with more liveable layouts than the typical mainstream houses that the masses provide. Inspired Investment packages offer investors a range of highly attractive homes that come as complete turn-key packages meaning they can get their investment working for them with zero fuss.
All designs are built around a central core to create a dynamic and liveable layout which offers renters a fresh and innovative choice in a world of copycat homes. Packages include all floor coverings, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, home theatre room, alfresco living area, quality Smeg appliances and stone benchtops. The outcome is that clients will experience greater demand for their investment home so they can be fussier with the tenants that they allow to occupy their home. Whilst they may be paying more initially, their return on investment will be similar to the cheaper options and the resale
value will be higher. After deducting rental payments and tax savings, they can expect their investment to cost around $20 a week in real terms with zero deposit (based on a single applicant with an income of $65,000 p.a.). Over time the investment home will grow substantially in value, far out-stripping the investor’s contributions. Inspired Homes truly offers an investment in style and substance! Visit Inspired Homes today for a free investment consultation at 3-5 Serene Way, Clyde North on the Berwick Waters Estate. Phone 13000 HOMES (1300 046 637) or Andrew Stickley on 0411 473 662.

A HEALTHY AND HAPPIER YOU
Take care of the skin PEOPLE with darker skin types also get skin cancers, pictured below. The only people who are at very low risk of skin cancers in Australia are people with the darkest skin types ie black Africans from equatorial Africa and Aboriginal people with very dark skin. Even they can get melanomas affecting their nails and palms but this is fortunately very rare. People from the Mediterranean regions, Arabic countries and those from Turkey, Iran and the Indian subcontinent all have a significant risk of skin cancer in Australia. Most commonly they get the less aggressive basal cell cancers from their
forties and fifties onwards. Often these basal cell cancers are more pigmented and can sometimes be confused with the more aggressive melanoma. Check out those spots The condition keratoacanthoma is a variant of squamous cell cancer of the skin. They present as firm domes or balls containing a central plug of keratin (dead skin), pictured left. They grow alarmingly quickly and can get to a centimetre or more in diameter in a matter of weeks. Typically they are most common on sun exposed sites of the body in people over 50. Despite their rapid rate of growth
they are not an especially aggressive form of cancer and are very unlikely to spread to lymph glands or through the bloodstream to distant organs (metastasise). Untreated they can eventually shrink and go away but this often leaves an unattractive ragged indented scar. They are best cut out surgically and sent for examination under the microscope to confirm the diagnosis. The Sun Patrol Skin Cancer Clinic is at 48 Van Der Haar Avenue, Berwick. For more information or advice, visit www.sunpatrolscc.com.au or phone on 9769 3358.

Art is from their hearts By LACHLAN MOORHEAD WHEN experiencing mental illness, loneliness comes naturally. Even though her better judgement told her otherwise, Leena, from Cranbourne, felt she was isolated in her suffering. But after joining the creative expression group run by EACH Social and Community Health, Leena was reminded and comforted by the fact that she wasn’t alone in her suffering. She spoke of how beneficial art had been to her rehabilitation at Friday’s Art Heals exhibition, the first mental health art expo run by EACH, and held at the Cardinia Cultural Centre. In the last year or so EACH has grown its services to include Casey, Cardinia and Dandenong and participants from all three regions had artwork on display at this week’s exhibition. “It does help because you also see a lot more to do with other people who have similar problems and similar issues,” Leena said of the art program. “You often think when you’re unwell that nobody else is going to be feeling like this or understand how I’m feeling. “Although logically you know that’s not true but you feel like there’s nothing worse than this, inside. “But then when you’re in a group of other people like that as well as you, you can see that we’re not really as unwell as we might feel because we’re able to function in these groups.” Tina Strafford, a community outreach worker, recently started working for EACH and runs the creative expression

group. It was Tina’s idea to hold the exhibition, an event now likely to be held annually. “I’m so proud, one, because my manager trusted me enough to do this and I wanted to do it classy and do it nice and it all worked out and paid off,” Tina said. “Mental health and art always go together. I’m an art therapist, I do work as a support worker with EACH but my back-
ground is art and art therapy and I know how it helps people when they can’t actually speak or say things that are going on in their head.” EACH Recovery South East Area Manager Lisa Gort was blown away by the exhibition, echoing the pride expressed by Tina.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said a 31-year-old Dandenong woman was talking on her mobile while walking along Hutton Street near Robinson Street about 7.10pm on Saturday 24 October. A man approached her from behind, grabbed her phone and ran to a waiting vehicle in Robinson Street. Det Sgt Kirton said the victim tried to open the door of the moving vehicle and was dragged a short distance, suffering minor lacerations to her left knee and wrist. The metallic red Toyota Corolla hatch, about a 2010 model, was last seen travelling north on Robinson Street with two men on board. The victim described the thief as 170 centimetres tall and Pacific Islander in appearance with a large build and shaved back of his head. He was wearing a red flannel shirt, jeans and runners.

My name is Andrew Walsh and I am the proud Principal of St John’s Regional College Dandenong. I have been involved in education for over 30 years as an educator and leader and I have been at St John’s for the past 7 years. St John’s excites me as it is a vibrant, multi-cultural, co-educational learning community. It is a safe, happy and challenging environment where all students can ‘find their place’. All students at St John’s have the opportunity to develop and grow into mature young men and women, together, - developing the skills that will be essential in their rapidly changing world. Academic pathways are very important at St John’s, but just as important are pathways for students with interests in the Arts, or Technology, or who have a sporting passion, or who have different learning styles e.g. applied learning. However, each student’s education will be incomplete if they have not acquired a sense of human dignity, an appreciation of life, the knowledge of how to use their limited time wisely, and a determination to leave the world a better place for having been in it. St John’s as a co-educational Catholic College aspires to live and teach the principles, the ethics, the resilience, compassion, forgiveness and love inherent in our Faith tradition.

Founded in 1970, Maranatha Christian School is the longest serving Christian school in Victoria, built on the foundations of Christian service, integrity, academic excellence and community service. It is a delight to be principal of Maranatha Christian School, which is a wonderful school community, committed to working together to ensure the best outcomes for all students. Maranatha has two well-resourced primary schools and early learning centres at Officer and Doveton feeding into a technologically rich education in middle and senior school at Endeavour Hills. In addition to its rigorous academic pathway that challenges students to think creatively and apply what they have learned, the school also offers a fully integrated and well-rounded pathway for VCAL students that supports them in their future careers. With dedicated, talented and faithful staff, a Maranatha student is well prepared to discover their God given gifts and talents and so become leaders in a wide variety of fields. Raising children in today’s world and ensuring a quality, affordable education is challenging, so the strong partnership between school and home and Maranatha’s dedication to Christian learning supports parents in their decisions. There is no better wish that we have as parents but to see our children maximize what God has given them by using those gifts to the benefit of others. School is a journey that we travel together. I look forward to your partnership as we help boys and girls move from today’s students to tomorrow’s leaders. In doing so we strive to achieve our utmost for His glory.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Gerry hands over the vans By CASEY NEILL GERRY Ryan has left the building - Jayco’s Dandenong factory, that is. He’s retired as CEO of Australia’s largest RV manufacturer, which he founded more than 40 years ago. Mr Ryan told the Journal he stepped down about a month ago and that Carl Bizon from Keysborough’s TriMas Corporation had taken the reins. His comments came during a discussion about the Victorian Manufacturing Showcase, held at Chisholm in Dandenong on 27 October. “I’m sure that it will be there next year,” he said.
“I don’t know if they’ll invite me back again. “I might be on the shelf next year - I might be yesterday’s hero!” Mr Bizon told the Journal Mr Ryan remained the Jayco board chairman. “Gerry ultimately came to the view that he needed to withdraw from the day-to-day operations of Jayco,” he said. “He approached an external recruitment firm - and they found me.” Mr Bizon said he was honoured to work for Mr Ryan. “He’s an extraordinary entrepreneur and a leader,” he said. “It was very humbling for

him to choose me to take on the role.” He had to walk away from “an amazing job” at TriMas. “The chance to work for Gerry was something I found pretty compelling,” he said. Mr Bizon started his working life in the steel industry in
Newcastle in 1980. “Through various manufacturing jobs in the steel industry and associated industrial products and industrial markets I’ve ended up here,” he said. Mr Bizon was in June included on the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Honour
Roll for helping to make TriMas Australia’s largest towing system manufacturer. “In the seven years that I’ve been here we’ve tripled the size of the company. It’s been a pretty good ride,” he said. It was Mr Ryan who presented him with the award. “That was mid-process so that was kind of funny,” he said. “It was quite a humbling moment when Gerry presented me with my award.” Mr Bizon said he was finding his feet with the 1200-plus Jayco staff. “Everyone’s been very welcoming,” he said. “The dedication and commitment of the team to the busi-
ness and to Gerry is something to be treasured.” Mr Bizon said he was working on plans to develop the business and its people. “I’m in no hurry. The company in fundamentally sound - there’s nothing broken,” he said. “From where I sit it’s just really about bringing contemporary manufacturing techniques and philosophies to a very wellestablished business. “I understand the product very well. I’ve been a Jayco owner for 14-odd years. It’s helped me to get up to speed very quickly.”
Hungry foodies dropping by for a frothy By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THERE’S a fair bit of fizz happening at a newly opened Dandenong South brewery. South East Brewing, which makes the crafty Exit Brewery beers, Kaiju Beer and Golden Axe Cider, was visited by an international food buyers delegation on 28 October - a week after opening the factory. Brewers Callam and Nat Reeves (Kaiju Beer), and Grum Knight (Exit Brewery) poured out cider and highflavour, high-alcohol content beers for the delegation. One of the options included the Kaiju double imperial pale ale (IPA) that won gold at the Australian Craft Beer Association Awards this month. Callam Reeves said the higher alcohol content - up to 11 per cent, or four and a half standard drinks - was balanced by the beers’ extra malty and hoppy flavours. The Kaiju labels - a Mambo-like array of designs by artist Mikey Burton - also stands apart from the crowd. Exit Brewery’s smoked stout was developed by
brewer Grum Knight. The inspiration struck him while visiting Belfast. The complex stout consists of a smoked malt; an injection of peat also gives the beer a whiskey-like flavour, Mr Knight said. Over two days, the delegates also toured Clayton South-based manufacturer Annex Foods, Laurent Bakery in Braeside, dry dairy and beverage mix manufacturer Mansfields in Keysborough, Coolibah Herbs in Pearcedale, Europa Cheese in Pakenham and fruit grower Montague Fresh in Lysterfield. The delegates also visited Victoria’s agricultural regions as well as processing plants and food research centres. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said the mission was a chance for food producers to forge new relationships with overseas buyers - and hence jobs for Victorians. The food and fibre export sector employs more than 190,000 Victorians; its exports worth is $11.6 billion.

Manufacturing’s best is put on show By CASEY NEILL EVEN Jayco mastermind Gerry Ryan learnt a thing or two at the Victorian Manufacturing Showcase. He said 600 people attended the event at Chisholm Institute in Dandenong on Tuesday 27 October, up from 500 last year. “Which is a 20 per cent increase any business would like that type of increase,” he said. “Manufacturing’s alive and well.” Mr Ryan said the panel members had “actually done it” and shared ideas that would help others to improve. “Even though I’ve reached some heights, I had some take away messages from every one of the presenters,” he said. “I wrote three pages of notes, it was just fantastic.” He said the event gave manufactur-
ers an opportunity to network and work together. “We get stuck in our businesses and don’t get to take time out,” he said. “It was a great springboard for everyone to go back into their businesses and improve their businesses and their network of contacts.” Industry Minister Lily D’Ambrosio announced the $5 million Future Industries Fund Manufacturing Program at the event. “This fund will support Victorian manufacturers to invest in new technologies and processes, and help to transition Victoria toward a high-tech manufacturing economy,” she said. Ms D’Ambrosio said companies could apply for up to $500,000 to invest in new manufacturing technologies and processes that would create new jobs, increase productivity and boost economic growth.
South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden said the cash could only be good news. “What I like about what they’re saying is the innovation can be product, process, organisation ... it depends what you’re trying to do,” he said. “I think the government is recognising that innovation isn’t just product.” Mr Boden said Peter Meek from Dandenong South yogurt producer Chobani and fruit industry supplier GP Graders shared their journeys. “They were very clear on why they were successful,” he said. Chisholm Institute engineering, electrotechnology and telecommunications associate director Paul Sadler said he picked up information he could take back to the classroom. “I invited a 3D printer to come back and talk to the group that’s doing 3D
printing,” he said. “It wasn’t just about sitting there and listening to people speak. “There was an opportunity for people to engage with senior leaders in manufacturing about their success stories, and try to glean some advice that they could use to improve their business.” Bombardier managing director Rene Lalande said manufacturing in the transport industry was undergoing substantial changes right now. “But with the positive outlook for public transport, the talent I have seen in our local enterprises, and the renewed efforts of our government to value local content, I know manufacturing has a real future in Victoria,” he said. “I encourage you all to look not only outward, but inwards. “Embrace the changes, and challenges, of the manufacturing industry - and ultimately, be part of it!”
Business is on a winner BUSINESSES can spruik their sustainability successes through a new award. The City of Greater Dandenong has introduced a business category in its Sustainability Awards.

Housing helping hand here By CASEY NEILL A HIDDEN Dandenong housing hub has become a haven for over-55s who need a hand. Common Equity Housing on Monday 26 October celebrated filling the last of the units in Harmony Village, on Herbert Street. Paul McDonald slept on the floor on his first night in his unit. He’d spent the past five years in a rooming house, so had no furniture of his own. That’s about to change. “Getting a home here is the best thing that’s ever happened to me - knowing I won’t have to move again has changed my life,” he said. Common Equity Housing (CEHL) received $2.7 million through the Victorian Property Fund towards buying 20 units on the site for affordable housing. “The government funding has enabled these high-quality units to house older people with low incomes who would otherwise be languishing in un-
affordable and insecure housing the private market,” CEHL managing director Stephen Nash said. A tenant co-operative is involved with managing their homes and common areas, including a community centre. “It’s more than just affordable, secure housing - it’s an opportunity to be involved in a meaningful way,” Mr Nash said. Co-op secretary Carole Bloomer said the co-op provided a sense of security, community and support. She moved in four years ago, following a lung transplant in 2013. “At that point I was living in a nice unit in Mount Waverley, but it was on a big block and inevitably they were going to knock it down,” she said. Ms Bloomer was about to retire and couldn’t afford market rent on a pension. “This was a godsend,” she said. She made fast friends on her first day with Lyn Dempster, who has lived in the Dandenong area for 60 years.
“I’m just so happy to be here,” she said. “We’re so lucky to have this.” Ann O’Hara was the most recent addition to the neighbourhood, moving in two weeks ago. She’s lived in Australia for 50-odd years, 26 of them in Noble Park, Eumemmerring and Doveton. She also works part-time in Dandenong three days a week so was thrilled to be offered a place in Harmony Village. “Everyone’s so friendly,” Ms O’Hara said. “Dandenong is just wonderful.” Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams toured the village and said the project provided housing to tenants who would otherwise have difficulty in the private rental market. “I was struck when I first came here by how beautiful it is,” she said. “Getting a unit here has been a huge relief and a huge change in people’s lives.”

CLEELAND United Soccer Club has received a helping hand to support its vulnerable players. The Rotary Club of Dandenong South East has been working with CatholicCare in Dandenong. The support service asked Rotarians to support the soccer club, which is made up of Sudanese boys. “The club is administered by local community volunteers,” Rotarian Colin Byron said. “They have significant issues financing the club to pay registrations, ground hire, uniforms, balls, equipment etcetera. “Many of the boys are being brought by single mums who do not have adequate financial means. “The community recognises that they need their children to play organised sport rather than roam the streets.” So the Rotarians presented more than 30 soccer balls and goal nets to help out. “We plan to provide ongoing additional equipment,” Mr Byron said.

in age groups from under-nines to under-16s. The club has competed in tournaments throughout Victoria and won several titles.
Seniors get to celebrate HALLAM senior citizens celebrated their 40th anniversary with cake on Tuesday 27 October, taking time to looking back on their milestone achievements. The club’s longest serving member Poppy Brown along with president Dorothy Mickelson and 115 other members enjoyed an anniversary lunch, some bingo, bowls and raffling off goodies. Ms Mickelson, a member of seven years, said: “We are a happy group ... there’s always lots of laughs, new experiences and weekly activities.” The group is always recruiting new members and Ms Mickelson said prospective members didn’t have to have any skills to join. “We will be going on a catamaran luxury boat cruise in November with a three-course lunch provided as well - which we are all looking forward to,” she said.

‘Team’ works for Blicavs By RUSSELL BENNETT THERE’S one recurring theme when it comes to exciting Dandenong Rangers WNBL forward Sara Blicavs - the simple notion of ‘team’. It’s not just about playing for the Rangers, but truly being a part of that team unit. She knows that’s what it takes to win, and her biggest support network is her other team ... the Blicavs family. Her parents Andris and Karen both played for Australian national basketball teams and have been involved heavily in the sport, while her oldest brother Kris is a SEABL player and Mark a former gun runner-turned Geelong AFL footballer who won the Carji Greeves Medal this year as the club’s best-and-fairest player. Now 22, Blicavs is this year embarking on her second stint in Rangers colours. She started her WNBL career with the AIS in 2009/10 before moving to the Rangers the first time around. From there she was called up to the Opals’ tour of China in 2013 before signing on with the Bendigo Spirit, where she won the 2013/14 championship. A big part of the reason for her return to Dandenong was that notion of ‘team’. “I don’t want to be a part of a team when we’re just focussed on one player and people are out there to get their stats,” she told the Journal. “Our team is nothing like that that’s what’s so good about it. We can have someone who’s not playing well and anyone can step up for us off our bench - Tenaya (Phillips), Jacinta (Kennedy), anyone. We’ve just got so much depth and I think that’s why we’re doing quite well at the moment.” After four games the Rangers were tied for top spot on the WNBL ladder - a far cry from where many pundits thought they’d be. “It’s just cool to know we can be there and hold that spot,” Blicavs said. “We’re so under-rated. I think the WNBL tipped us to come second last, and I absolutely love it when people do that because then you get a chance to prove people wrong. “No-one will expect us to do well, but to be honest I look at our team and I think we can do very well.” The Rangers have quickly become known this season for their fast, athletic, up-tempo style of play. And that suits Blicavs perfectly.
Sara Blicavs has high hopes for the Dandenong Rangers this WNBL season. 146033 Pictures: RUSSELL BENNETT And it’s the togetherness of the Rangers that reminds Blicavs of one of the key characteristics of that championship-winning Bendigo team. “It’s not a team full of stars, it’s a star team,” she said. “It’s not like we’ve got superstars on our team, but we’ve just got great players and great girls. That’s a very big part of being successful. “Winning the championship (with Bendigo) has been probably the biggest highlight of my basketball career so far and that feeling is so hard to describe but it’s just amazing. “Because I know what that’s like, I really want to have it again. If I can bring that attitude and behaviour for
the rest of our girls I’ll definitely be doing that because I would love to win a championship with our team at the Rangers.” Blicavs is thrilled to be able to play alongside, and learn from Jacinta Kennedy who she describes as “one of the best players I’ve ever watched”. The likes of Steph Cumming and Alex Bunton also have Blicavs excited about what this season could have in store. Blicavs, like her brothers, started her sporting journey in athletics. She even dreamed of reaching Olympic level. “I think it was when I hit 13-yearsold - which is very young anyway -
The Rangers aren’t a team full of stars, but they could yet be a star team.
that I got really nervous at athletics and didn’t enjoy it that much,” she said. “I think it’s because it’s an individual sport.” Having started playing domestic basketball as a 10-year-old, it was when Blicavs got to the Melbourne Tigers that her career started to really take off. And her family was there every step of the way. “I really look up to both my brothers and anything they say to me I’ll listen to and take in,” Blicavs said. “You hear it from coaches, and you hear it from players and other people - and even your parents - about what to do but for me it doesn’t really click
until my brothers say it to me. “Mark is brutally honest with me and I’m the same with him. I know nothing about football but I know what should be done and it’s good because we do feed off each other. “But Chris, in particular, I play a lot of one-on-one and two-on-two with. I shoot around and work out with him and I think he’s quite smart and he really knows what he’s talking about. “I know it’s cliched but I really respect my parents and what they’ve done in the basketball world. They are a massive influence but really my brothers are too. I absolutely adore and love them. They all ride the highs and lows with me.”

KELLY Bravo’s flying machine Kayda Shae is a pronounced short-priced favourite for Friday’s $50,000 winner-takes-all group two Shootout following the box draw at Sandown Park on Thursday. The last greyhound drawn in the preferential box draw, Lisa Delbridge (deputising for trainer Kelly Bravo) had no choice in which box she drew, which in a way proved a blessing. “Red box, red box, red box,” said Delbridge when asked about the instruction for selecting the box for Kelly Bravo’s speedster. “I said earlier I either wanted to be the first out or last out because she never told me any other box! She watched it online and said ‘oh well, it is what is’. You can’t change it, but he should get plenty of room from there if he’s good enough.” Interestingly, seven of the 17 Shootouts conducted have been won from box five. Kayda Shae, ran 29.10 when running second in the recent Speed Star, having run 29.12 to qualify for the series. Since, Kayda Shae has twice been placed behind champion Fernando Bale at group one level and has been installed the $2.25 favourite for the Shootout by TAB. Andrea Dailly had no hesitation taking box seven for her finalist
Dyna Double One. “I was sweating that no-one else would take it!” she said. “He’s probably a little short of where he needs to be which is why he’s in tonight, but with a clear run I reckon he can run 29.0-something. He doesn’t have a lot of early pace but if everyone stays out of his way he can a really fast time.” The five-time group one placegetter would line up in race eight later in the evening, running sixth and was immediately eased from $2.80 to $3 with TAB for the Shootout. The youngest and least experienced greyhound in the race, Sulzanti, was the first greyhound drawn and kennel representative Jamie Ennis had no hesitation in choosing box one for his exciting youngster. “The two outside dogs are proven group one performers and are the ones to beat, but he’ll get his chance from the inside and if he can jump and run his time hopefully that’s enough on the night. “He’s obviously quick enough running the time he did last week (running 29.09 in a TAB Melbourne Cup Prelude) so hopefully he’ll do the same next week. If he can improve on his first split a little bit and lead he’s in with a big chance.” In a race geared towards speed, Sulzanti’s 29.09 is the fastest time
Kayda Shae will start favourite in Friday night’s $50,000 winnertakes-all shootout despite drawing the squeeze … box five. 146307 Picture: SANDOWN GREYHOUNDS recorded by the four finalists, however the 25-month-old pup will be ceding considerable experience to his rivals when he lines up in the first group final of his 11 start career. Brad Hill Billy will fly the flag for his adopted state New South Wales after drawing box three. The outsider of the field, Brad Hill Billy was selected in the race on the back of scintillating runs at Wentworth Park and The Gardens but will enter the final having not had a race start over the distance at the View Road venue. “He trialled at Sandown before the Launching Pad, and was unlucky in a heat of the McKenna Memorial (595m) so he’s familiar with the track,” said trainer Ray Smith. “It would have been nice to get the red, but he should get a nice run from there so hopefully he can get a clear run and show what he can do.”
The $50,000 winner-takes-all Shootout kicks off three big weeks of greyhound racing at Sandown Park. The final TAB Melbourne Cup Prelude series will also be run on Friday 6 November with the heats of the TAB Melbourne Cup to be run the following Friday night. The three-week chasing carnival will culminate on Friday 20 November with the final of the world’s richest greyhound race, the $600,000 TAB Melbourne Cup.

THE internationalisation of Tuesday’s 155th running of the Group 1 $6,200,000 Emirates Melbourne Cup (3200 metres) has reached a point where about half the field are from the northern hemisphere with a record of 11 having been set in 2011. Some are opposed to this but not me as it displays the high esteem that Australian racing is held in and remember that the Melbourne Cup is the world’s richest handicap. For one visitor, the Ed Dunloptrained, Red Cadeaux, it will be his fifth attempt after three seconds (2011, 2013 and 2014) in his previous four Melbourne Cup starts. The almost $3 million in prize-money he has collected at Flemington has helped him become Great Britain’s highest ever stake earner. He is a 10-year-old but he doesn’t know that and has been working well at Werribee. The Victoria Racing Club last week presented him with a head collar emblazed with ‘Australia’s Red Cadeaux’ - this could be his last start but he would be a very popular winner. His stablemate Trip To Paris,
SPRING FEVER WITH
ROY ASPINALL winner of the Ascot Gold Cup in June, was an outstanding second in the BMW Caulfield Cup and will again be ridden by Tommy Berry. He came through on the rails with a powerful finish at Caulfield. “It was a fantastic run,” Dunlop declared. He will be much better suited at Flemington. Cup favourite, the Japanese owned and trained Fame Game had no luck at Caulfield but stormed home from the tail of the field on the turn to run sixth and will, likewise, be all the better for the run and the extra distance. He looks a great chance. Snow Sky was a strong fifth at Caulfield and will be another appreciating the longer trip. The David Hayes-Tom Dabernig stable are having a great spring and Criterion will be hard to beat. After a strong autumn he raced twice
in England and returned to win the Ladbrokes Caulfield Stakes. He had an interrupted run and caught the eye with his second in the Cox Plate. They also have the Geelong Cup winner Almoonqith, and that has been a great lead-up race with three Melbourne Cup victors, Media Puzzle (2002), Americain (2010) and Dunaden (2011), coming through that event. The Chris Waller stable is sweeping all before them in recent seasons, culminating in the Cox Plate with Winx. With three runners, Preferment is the best, but Who Shot Thebarman won the 2014 Auckland Cup and was third in last year’s Melbourne Cup and this year’s Sydney Cup winner, Grand Marshall must be watched. John O’Shea has Hartnell who is coming to hand well and Lee and Anthony Freedman’s Sir Ivanhowe must not be forgotten. The Offer, prepared by Gai Waterhouse, won last year’s Sydney Cup and completed his preparation with a win in last week’s Bendigo Cup. His chances will be enhanced if there is a rain-affected track. Must also watch the Lloyd
Williams-owned horses Amralah, United States, Bondi Beach and Kingfisher, the latter two owned in partnership and trained in Ireland by Aiden O’Brien. Max Dynamite, Hokko Brave, Big Orange, Sky Hunter and Quest For More are other invaders to watch. While most interest centres on Tuesday it must be remembered that Thursday sees the running of the $1,005,000 Group 1 Crown Oaks (2500 metres) with the David Hayes-Tom Dabernig stable having outstanding chances with Sacred Eye and Stay With Me, the latter being a daughter of Miss Finland, the 2006 Oaks winner. Other prospects are Jameka and Pasadena Girl. On Saturday attention will be on the sprinters with the $1,002,500 Group 1 Darley Classic (1200 metres) and the $1,005,000 Group 1 Emirates Stakes (1600 metres) plus the $301,500 Group 3 Queen’s Cup (normally the Queen Elizabeth Stakes) (2600 metres) which is likely to feature runners who missed out on making the field for the Melbourne Cup. The Queen’s Cup is run in a different state each year.

2015 UPDATE MODEL!
Peugeot flair hatches win By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE Peugeot 308 is the mid-sized model in the French marque’s Australian range. The 308 GT sits around the middle of the performance band, an all-rounder aimed at those looking for a comfortable weekday commuter that can also be let loose for an enjoyable weekend spin. In line with its relatively conservative clientele, the styling of Peugeots isn’t as radical as French compatriots such as Renault or Citroen. Nevertheless there’s still plenty of flair to the latest 308 range with a clever design that looks sleek without compromising cabin space. Among the enhancements the GT receives over the standard 308 models are lowered suspension, subtle skirts-and-spoiler, larger (18-inch) alloy wheels, chrome highlights on the grille, foglight surrounds and window frames, GT badges and a new GT-only Magnetic Blue colour choice. The LED headlights look great at night, while the turn indicators scroll rather than blink - a neat touch. The interior features sports seats and trim, red-stitching, aluminium highlights, LED interior mood lighting, and sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel. All seats are spacious and comfortable with plenty of rear legroom. Two turbocharged engines are available in the 308 GT, a 1.6-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel. The latter might seem a bid odd to many Australians who, given our general lack of interest in diesel passenger cars, don’t associate them with sporty performance. They should do, because access big to torque is one of the turbo-diesel basics. Fuel consumption is listed at 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres with the petrol engine and 4.0 L/100 km with the diesel. In our test of the diesel GT we averaged 5.7 L/100 km (4.6 on the motorway and 6.9 in the suburbs) which is a lot higher than the official numbers. Transmission options are limited. The petrol GT gets a six-speed manual, the diesel a sixspeed auto with steering wheel mounted paddles. There’s a high level of standard safety equipment including six airbags, traction and stability control, ABS brakes with emergency brake assist and brake force distribution, blind spot monitoring, collision alert with auto braking, hill start assist, rear view camera and parking sensors, active cruise control, park assist, head-up instrument display, blind spot monitoring and automatic headlights and wipers. The infotainment system displays on a 9.7inch touchscreen with a well-designed and logical layout. It also allows for most of the car’s functions to be operated from the screen and so almost eliminates the need to switch back and forwards between other buttons and knobs. Not only does it present a nice clean centre console but, more importantly, reduces distraction time. There’s a 6.9 Gb jukebox with six-speaker sound, speed-related volume controls, satellite

ALL NEW BT-50 HAS ARRIVED Model range 308 GT 1.6-litre turbo-petrol five-door hatch: $41,990 (manual) 308 GT 2.0-litre turbo-diesel five-door hatch: $42,990 (automatic) navigation, easy Bluetooth pairing and a pair of USB sockets. Peugeot’s reputation for outstanding ride and handing has slipped over the past decade since the departure of the excellent 306 so keen drivers will be delighted to hear that normal service has resumed in the form of the 308 GT. Chassis and suspension changes in the GT from the standard 308 models include lower ride height at the front (7mm) and rear (10mm) as well as between 10 and 20 percent stiffer spring and damper rates depending on the drivetrain. The tweaks do their job well with steering that is well-weighted, direct and communicative in normal mode and even more responsive when the Sport option is selected. Around town the ride is comfortable and it’s an impressively quiet, composed and capable car. Once clear of the suburbs the diesel edition has sharp acceleration and can be hustled through corners at pretty decent speeds. Keep within your driving limits and you’ll have great fun. Go beyond them and one or other of the car’s safety systems should step in and get you out of trouble. Keep in mind that physics always wins in the end. The Aisin six-speed automatic is impressively smooth in normal mode, noticeably sharper in Sport mode. As the years roll by comfort climbs ever higher in the priority list for our ideal car. Unfortunately that usually means a performance trade-off; but every now and then a car comes along that ticks both the comfort and performance boxes. The Peugeot 308 GT is such a car. A sophisticated, well-equipped French hatch it has enough interior space to cover big Australian distances on both motorways and back roads. Its $40,000-plus price tag may look like a deterrent but its high spec level includes many features that will be options elsewhere. If you’re looking for serious performance then it may pay to be patient and test out the upcoming GTi. The GT will still be around as a fallback option.
