■ Film sheds light on the struggle to reform...

When men menace By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

1170560-ACM06-15

CAN violent men change? That question will linger in viewers’ minds long after they’ve finished watching the documentary Call Me Dad. The documentary, which will air on the ABC next Thursday night, 26 November, to co-incide with the White Ribbon initiative, focuses on the inner workings of a men’s behavioural change group in Narre Warren. Over 16 weeks last year independent film-maker Sophie Wiesner chronicled the men involved in the group Heavy METAL - short for Men’s Education Towards Anger and Life. The documentary focuses on three men in particular - each a father and perpetrator of violence - and their families. But even with each determined to make amends, the film does not back away from showing how difficult it is for men to break tendencies that for so long have been normal practice. An incident occurred during filming and features in the doco, which reminded Sophie how hard it can be for men to change, and the consequences for their partners and children. “When the guys had setbacks, it felt like a setback for not just the individuals but for our crew as well,” she said. “I set about trying to see positive change in the lives of these families but that didn’t always occur. “It’s an important lesson and part of the reality of that kind of work - it works for some and it doesn’t work for others.” Sophie began her research into Call Me Dad in 2012, but her reasons for

Filmmaker Sophie Wiesner and Casey local and trained counsellor Dave Nugent worked together to create Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS the documentary Call Me Dad. 126046 pursuing the project date back much further. “My mother’s father was very violent ... and my mum grew up in a small

country town, and neither she nor my grandmother ever really spoke about what happened at home,” she said. In this way Sophie was drawn to

Dave Nugent and Jacqui Seamark, who run the weekly two-and-a-half-hour Heavy METAL sessions. It was 20 years ago when Dave,

who started the group in 2004, realised he had to change. “My partner and I were invited to a family function and we had a disagreement before the function and I spat the dummy and didn’t want to go,” he previously told Star News. “I went to the party and made a fool of myself, I got a bit of steel pipe out of my work truck and started smashing up the car in front of a lot of people and children and I realised when I saw the looks on those kids’ faces that I’d really scared these guys.” Dave shares his story in the documentary, and draws on his own history to help the men in the group. “With David and Jacqui, it’s their relationship with the participants that enabled my own relationships with those in the group to develop,” Sophie said. “They (David and Jacqui) are very compassionate, very skilful, and very brave people. “They feel the film’s a very realistic portrayal of the work they do - it portrays both the successes and the limitations of their work. “Men’s behavioural change programs do not change all men, and it is not the answer to every family’s problem, but it can change some men and improve the safety of women and children.” For more information on Call Me Dad visit www.callmedadfilm.com, and to check out a trailer for the film visit berwicknews.starcommunity. com.au If you need help, contact Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre 1800 015 188, or go to www.safesteps. org.au

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

BERWICK VOLKSWAGEN 1187434-24-15

›Commercial ›Passenger ›Service department

Stronger together guilty or not, the girl and her family are living in a prison as harmful, restrictive and frightening as the real thing. This week the Journal News once again joins the chorus of voices calling for an end to family violence. This special edition, published to coincide with White Ribbon day on 25 November, highlights the harrowing stories of victims and reflects on the parade of

anger, denial and despair which confronts magistrates in their daily work. We reflect on the Challenge Family Violence project, a collaboration between men across Casey, Greater Dandenong and Cardinia, which wound up earlier this year due to a lack of government funding, and speak to police and welfare services about what it is like on the family violence front line.

We think shining a light on this once taboo subject can only help foster understanding and action and help rid our communities of this cruel and destructive scourge. Readers who want to stand up and show their support for the White Ribbon campaign can join the third annual Walk Against Family Violence in Dandenong on Tuesday. Full details page 8.

Nevertheless, Neeti said her body and mind retain a traumatic memory. Her eldest brother was “belted” by their father and later couldn’t hold a job. He got addicted to morphine after a serious motorbike accident and died of a heroin overdose. Neeti’s mother and another abused drug-using brother were committed to an asylum by her father. It’s a whole family’s tale of woe which Neeti can

trace to her own mother’s depraved upbringing. Neeti’s mother was forced as a 10-year-old by her own mother to sleep with an older man, then met her future husband and got pregnant at 13. That child was adopted out by the Anglican Church. Later Neeti’s mother, who suffered post-natal depression, was acquitted of murdering Neeti’s fourmonth-old sister. “When I was five, I found my four-month-old sister dead in a bassinet,” Neeti said.

HOME has been a house of horrors for ‘Neeti’ both as a child and as a wife. At 65, the Noble Park grandmother’s hands tremble as she recounts the beatings, threats to kill and the demeaning insults that punctuate her life. If Neeti was now in the same situation with an abusive partner, she’d “shut my mouth and run”. “You don’t stay. “I tried and tried to stay. I tried to get them to love me and nothing worked.” Neeti grew up with violence. She tells how her father savagely beat her and threatened to kill her, and how he fought drunkenly with his mother and stepmothers. During one brawl in the bathroom, a stepmother had the tops of her fingers severed by the father’s cutthroat razor. Then her own first husband - “a big drinker and swearer” - lashed out “even before we got to the altar”. One of his blows dislodged her front tooth. She remembers him berating and screaming at her, calling her stupid. After she had an abortion at 19 - the biggest regret in her life - the husband left her for another woman. Neeti chose her second husband because he came from a good family.

He’d come home from his managerial corporate job, and tell her repeatedly she was “f***ed in the head” and that “men in white coats are coming to get you”. During an argument over money, he kneed her pelvis and slammed her to the floor in front of their children. “My kids, except for my second daughter, have blamed me over the years.” It’s striking that Neeti didn’t leave her husbands but the other way around. Nor did she report the violence to police - she didn’t believe police could or would help at the time. “I thought if I left, where would I go? It wasn’t until a single mother’s pension came in that I’d think I could do it.” Her advice for women in abusive relationships is to get help from a family violence service. Therapy and Christian faith has also helped salve the wounds and raise her from a self-medicated spiral of Valium, morphine and alcohol. Along the way she survived two medication overdoses. Her psychiatrist tells her not to just talk about the “past stuff”, all the negative messages from the significant men in her life. Instead the doctor reinforced that she was a good woman, mother and “worth-

Respect is the first step By LACHLAN MOORHEAD â&#x20AC;&#x153;THIS poor womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s covered in bruises - where do I go?â&#x20AC;? These are the words of Stephanie Saunders spoken on Thursday 19 November, reflecting a communal response from people who witness others being victimized by family violence but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to turn for help. Stephanie, the President of the Casey Multi-Faith Network, was hosting the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual White Ribbon luncheon when she asked the rhetorical question.

From April 2014 to March 2015 there were 3759 family incidents reported in Casey compared to 3636 in the same period a year earlier - the most of any local government area. Meanwhile, the total number of recorded offences in Casey rose by almost 12.9 per cent in the same period, with 18,122 incidents reported in Casey compared to 16,056 a year earlier. The White Ribbon event took place at the Casey Council chambers where the three keynote speakers addressed a packed audience which included Casey

Mayor Sam Aziz and councillors Damien Rosario and Mick Morland. The guest speakers at the luncheon included Community Development Officer for the Challenge Family Violence Project Dr Crystal Bruton, InTouch Inc Program Manager Roshan Bhandary and Victoria Police officer Maha Sukkar. Dr Bruton called on people of all faiths to â&#x20AC;&#x153;work togetherâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can all work together, as a community, to prevent violence against women and their children,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To prevent violence against wom-

en, we must address inequalities between men and women in our society and ensure women are treated with respect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faith leaders can play an important role in promoting equity and respect toward women and speak out against attitudes that accept or support violence within their communities.â&#x20AC;? Ms Bhandary said the aim of InTouch was for women and children from â&#x20AC;&#x153;diverse cultural backgrounds to be safe and free of violence.â&#x20AC;? Ms Sukkar, who as well as being Lebanese is a police officer for the

Southern Metro Multicultural Liaison Unit, has worked for many years to try to break down cultural barriers that often lead to family violence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My message to the community is that the police are here to help make you feel safe,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The police want to hear about any type of family violence or violence in general that you experience, even if it is not a crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to know what is happening in the community otherwise we cannot help you in preventing the crime.â&#x20AC;?

Hijab police pioneer labors to bridge community cultural gap By LACHLAN MOORHEAD POLICE officer Maha Sukkar is something of a pioneer. The Lebanese-born Maha was the first Victorian police officer to wear a hijab as part of her uniform. And now Senior Constable Sukkar, based at Dandenong Police Station, is one of just two multicultural liaison officers who work in the southern metro region. In her own words, helping to prevent family violence has been a â&#x20AC;&#x153;passionâ&#x20AC;? of Mahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and made her a perfect guest speaker for Casey Multi-Faith Network annual White Ribbon luncheon, held at Casey Council chambers on Thursday 19 November. In her line of work, Maha sees how family violence can wreak havoc within multicultural communities and she

understands how important her role is in changing societal stereotypes. She deals with about two cases a week related to forced marriage. Laws passed by the Labor government in 2013 made it illegal to coerce, threaten or deceive someone into marriage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working with multicultural communities, family violence is very rife ... because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the culture, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way we were brought up, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way things are done,â&#x20AC;? she told the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marital rape is right now my absolute work ... I hate it but I work with it, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really hard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forced marriage is another form of family violence that I manage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Again itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still under the carpet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big these days, especially among multicultural communities.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens to 13-year-olds and 14-year-olds, marrying them off to a 30-year-old and forcing them to get married.â&#x20AC;? Drawing on recent statistics, Maha noted that there had been 390 reports of family violence in Casey just in the past month. And she said acts of violence against women in public were becoming more prevalent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot lately and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more now since the Paris attacks, unfortunately, (against) women who are obviously Muslims or obviously religious,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m urging people to report. If you know your neighbour is having an issue with her husband, please report it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least call me personally, go the police station at Dandenong and ask for Maha.

The guest speakers at he Multi-Faith White Ribbon lunch were, from left, Roshan Bhandary, Crystal Bruton and Maha Sukkar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows who Maha is.â&#x20AC;? She said she was happy to sit down and talk to anyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially if that person is from a multicultural background and is scared of police,â&#x20AC;? Maha said.

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

Group’s burning determination By GARRY HOWE A FIRE lit in the conscience of more than 100 community leaders across Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia as part of the three-year Challenge Family Violence program that will never be extinguished. That’s the opinion of Christiaan O’Dea from the Department of Justice and Regulation who was part of the ground-breaking project that winds up this month. “I challenge participants to continue with their work in this area,” he told a recent showcase event at the City of Casey. “This program has lit a fire within this group that cannot be extinguished.” The Challenge Family Violence program enlisted the help of predominantly male community leaders across the three municipal areas to pledge their support for the White Ribbon principles and seek to change attitudes and behaviour towards women in their spheres of influence. They participated in a series of workshops to be better informed about attitudes towards

women in society that can lead to family violence - things like gender inequality, stereotyping and male privilege. Then Cardinia Mayor Leticia Wilmot applauded the initiative as fostering prevention through leadership. “The program focused on men and the faith and sporting communities and had dedicated women leading the way,” she said. Cr Wilmot said the issue of family violence needed a whole-of-community response and the Challenge program went a long way to achieving that. “It was able to use community leaders as agents for change,” she said. Casey Mayor Sam Aziz noted that Victoria Police respond to 70,000 family violence cases each year. “This has to change,” he said. “We must get to a place where every woman and child feels safe.” Greater Dandenong councillor Roz Blades closed proceedings with an insightful and person-

Cr Blades said she grew up in an area where family violence was rife, yet it remained in the home, behind closed doors. “People didn’t talk about it, let alone act on it,” she said. “I am proud to be a part of an organisation that is taking such a public stance. “The people who will benefit are those in-

volved in violent relationships, whom will be for not much longer.” Star News Group editor Garry Howe participated in the Challenge Family Violence program. If you need help contact Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre on 1800 015 188 or via www.safesteps.org.au.

Men urged to speak out and speak up for women TWENTY years ago, family violence was an issue often swept under the carpet. But times have changed and influential males have recognised that they hold the power to helping reform the attitudes and change the behaviours of other men within society.

video featuring male community leaders from organisations in the City of Casey, the Cardinia Shire, the City of Greater Dandenong as well as Monash Health. The men in the video speak out about their views on family violence and the role they play in preventing it. They represent various groups including the police, the local newspa-

per, faith groups, a local football club and a primary school. Dandenong police Inspector Bruce Kitchen said that challenging family violence can be as simple as having conversations with other men and encouraging them to also spread an antiviolence message. “I challenge all men not to walk past people that make snide comments

against females,” he said. “Even at a local footy match, if I hear something I’ll say something.” As well voicing the views of the men, the video highlights the shocking statistics demonstrating the severity of the issue - one in three Australian women will experience physical assault in their lifetime and one in five will experience sexual assault.

The Challenge Family Violence Group was a three-year partnership bringing together the municipalities of Casey, Cardinia and Dandenong to prevent family violence. The video can be viewed on YouTube by searching ‘Challenge Family Violence’. It was uploaded by the City of Casey.

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

Men still behaving badly By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE man accused of more than 6000 intervention order breaches can’t believe he’s in court. He’s already told the police that the charges are “bulls***”. As he waits hours, the stronglybuilt businessman mulls over how he and his five employees are losing a day of work. He fumes with his arms crossed as he tells the magistrate he’ll plead guilty just so he can bring the ordeal to an end. In his impatience, he’s shoved aside a Victoria Legal Aid lawyer in midsentence as she’s addressed the judge on his behalf. He makes light of the nearly 6500 calls and texts to his ex-partner in two months - all in breach of an intervention order. There was never any violence or threats, the man says. The calls and texts were usually instigated by the ex, who wanted to remove the intervention order anyway. “It’s usually about money,” he says. “Basically, someone doesn’t get their own way so this is a way of getting at me.” At Dandenong Magistrates’ Court a magistrate often tries to recalibrate the accused’s victim-blaming attitude. Today, the judge told the man: “A lot of people don’t agree with the law. That’s why they go to jail. “I have to say you’re on the footstep of jail.” The magistrate said it was irrelevant whether an estimated 4000 of the calls and messages were instigated by

the victim. “There’s an obligation on you. If you breach that, there’s consequences. “If there’s not (consequences), then the whole thing is meaningless.” Men in denial are commonplace in family violence cases at the court. They are led from the police cells to the dock often in shock. Often they have been arrested the night before, and never previously been taken into custody before. It’s part of the police’s stated proarrest and pro-remand policy against such offenders, and the court’s determination to fast-track these cases. Another incredulous accused man denies charges of choking his ex by the

throat despite an observable red swelling being found on her neck. He had told police: “F***. I’m not getting charged with that s***.” The man didn’t initially appear at court because he was more worried about losing his job. When he did appear, the magistrate offered him a community-corrections order for a guilty plea. But the accused declined and decided to contest the charges. “So does he prefer to go to jail?” a disbelieving judge said. “You’d be looking at a term of imprisonment for strangulation. It’s taken seriously because of the potential for homicide.

“I’m not asking for you take unpaid community work but to engage with a men’s behaviour program.” After a talk with his lawyer, the accused asked for some more time to consider his options. It’s strange how often the men in the dock seem so small and meek. Their silence is in such contrast to the screaming threats to kill their partner, and the blows they inflict within the sanctum of the family home. Sometimes their victims fall silent, particularly when the perpetrator is a husband who, if convicted, risk having their bridging visa revoked and being returned to their homeland. In that situation, the victims often

cave to the pressure from family and friends to back off. On other occasions, victims refuse to shirk the issue. Recently a teenager, on the day before her VCE English exam, testified on video-link against her father. She spoke of her dad being in “one of those moods”, of him trying to hug and kiss his ex-partner and wanting to become a family again. The usual stuff, she wearily called it. “You get used to his behaviour.” She described her dad following them as they drove away, her sister crying due to the situation, him following her mum in the house, the slamming of doors, banging and yelling. She stayed in the car, holding down the door lock to stop her father coming in. “I keep sticking up for mum and he told me I was a disgrace to him.” When her grandmother called her phone, she was in tears, worried and scared, she says over the court’s video screen. The daughter said her relationship with Dad was confusing. “I just avoid him because I know he gets angry very easily. “He gets in arguments over silly things all the time.” As she testified, her father sat hunched over in the courtroom with tears welling in his eyes. Over the video link, her father is invisible to her, as he is outside the court as well.

THE Greater Dandenong community is taking to the streets in a public stand against family violence. The third annual Walk Against Family Violence will start at The Kitchen at Dandenong Market at 10.30am on Tuesday 24 November. Greater Dandenong Mayor Heang Tak said 2123 family violence incidents were reported in the municipality last yeaar.

“Family violence can happen to anyone, but the more we understand about the causes the more we can address the issue,” he said. Cr Tak said statistics showed that gender imbalance was a key factor in many instances of family violence. “To live in a world where our families and communities are free and safe from violence, we must treat all individuals women, men, girls and boys

- with dignity, equality and respect,” he said. Each year the number of walkers has grown, from 500 in the first year to 700 last year. “Every walker who joins us is one more voice in the call to end family violence,” Cr Tak said. The walk will finish in Harmony Square, where guest speakers will include Helen Kapalos and Rob Hulls.

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

Driven to build her career By CASEY NEILL CAROLINE Kennedy doesn’t let “archaic stereotypes” hold her back. “I’ve had a lot of males try to undermine me to make themselves look better,” she said. “I don’t let it distract me.” The Hotondo Homes CEO was the guest speaker at the SEBN Showcasing Women in Business breakfast at Highways in Springvale on Friday 20 November. She doesn’t believe in the “glass ceiling” keeping women from top jobs. “I’ve always thought ‘if it’s meant to be, it’s up to me’,” she said. “I hear a lot about equality in the workplace. “I think there is a responsibility to take ownership. “I have never allowed some-

body to pay me less than what I think I’m worth.” Ms Kennedy said working in male-dominated sectors was challenging at times. At a conference in Fiji, with her husband by her side, a business owner tapped her on the bum and said “looking good”. “I just stared at him,” she said. “I didn’t need to say anything. “That is the kind of environment I operate in. “But I don’t let it bother me because I know I’m better than that.” She shot down the question to her husband “what does it feel like to play mum all the time?” with equal confidence, and calmly bats away judgements about her decision to have only one child and to utilise child care.

was away a lot,” she said. The eldest of three siblings, she looked after the family from a young age. She recalled having to call the fire brigade at age seven after her mum put on chips to cook then “went and passed out on the bed”. “She would wake up every morning and she’d put vodka in her tea,” she said. “Sometimes I think of what we went through and I wonder how we got through it.” At age 13 she moved to Australia with her eyes on a fresh start. She was 15 when her mum divorced her dad and moved to “an unsavoury suburb in Brisbane”. “I used drugs to numb my pain because my mum was really out of control,” she said. Ms Kennedy even spent

months living on the street until a counsellor rebuilt her confidence and she decided to become a hairdresser. The career wasn’t enough for her so she accepted a job at a restaurant at Uluru. “I didn’t know how to set a table,” she said. “But I learnt quickly.” Within three months a manager said she wanted to make her a team leader. “You are a leader and I can see that,” she told her. She also told her that the man in charge of the place doubted her ability. “Don’t underestimate me because I will prove you wrong,” she thought. Ms Kennedy has certainly done just that, moving her way up the chain in hospitality sales and marketing.

Language of safety outlines the steps to a fresh start MULTI-LANGUAGE family violence support is now available from safe steps. The Family Violence Response Centre launched support brochures in multiple languages for women from non-English-speaking backgrounds at its AGM on Wednesday 18 November. CEO Annette Gillespie said safe steps aimed to be responsive and accessible to all, and that it had also launched two websites for young people.

The www.safestepschildren.org.au site targets children aged from five to 12 years while www.safestepsyouth. org.au caters for 12 to 18-year-olds. Ms Gillespie said half of safe steps’ clients were aged under 18, with many women coming through the service fleeing violent homes with their children. “It is vital that children and young people have access to resources to help them through this traumatic period in

their lives,” she said. “The microsites feature important information written specifically for youth by our family violence specialists. “The language, images and characters are both appealing and appropriate to the target audiences. “We hope the sites will be used by schools and community groups to help educate youth about family violence and safe relationships.”

Ms Gillespie said the aim was to help young people to better understand their feelings and what was happening at home and to break the learned behaviour cycle of family violence. “Children living in homes where there is family violence are in an environment that is unpredictable and filled with tension and fear,” she said. “The impact can be ongoing and long-lasting. These children are living with trauma.

CLUB NOBLE

“Exposure to domestic violence can have significant psychological, behavioural, health and socioeconomic impacts on children, including depression, anxiety and difficulties in school. “Fear, embarrassment, lack of concentration, isolation and loneliness are just some of the emotions and feelings that a child or young person may feel in this situation.”

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

Connected to stop problems By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE carers at Windermere know only too well that family violence does not discriminate. It can affect everyone and it occurs all year around. Perhaps every day should be White Ribbon Day but, for now, it is officially recognised on Wednesday 25 November. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan visited Windermere Child and Family Services in Narre Warren on Thursday 19 November ahead of White Ribbon Day, which also marks the start of the 16-day State Government campaign Victoria Against Violence. “Victoria Against Violence is about raising awareness and building a campaign across our

community to help end family violence,” he said. “I encourage local residents and community groups to visit the Victoria Against Violence website to find out how they can play their part.” As well as committing $3.5 million in funding for counselling services, of which Windermere is a recipient, the Andrews Government has also set up Australia’s first Royal Commission into Family Violence. The commission’s findings are expected to be released in February. CEO Lynette Buoy said Windermere ran several programs that provide support and education to families suffering from family violence. Healthy Women, Healthy Relationships is a program for women who have experienced vio-

Windermere CEO Lynette Buoy and Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan. lence in their relationships. Building Respectful Relationships is a school based initiative targeted at teens aged from 13 to 15. “Early prevention and education is the key,” Dr Buoy said. “We must all do what we can to challenge attitudes towards violence, increase our community’s knowledge base and develop

a culture of respectful relationships. Everyone is someone in our community and we must work together to create a stronger, connected and supported community where violence is not tolerated.” For more information, visit www.vic.gov.au/victoriaagainstviolence or www.windermere.org.au.

Pain of family violence runs deeper than a black eye FAMILY VIOLENCE IS... Direct and indirect threats Sexual assault Emotional and psychological torment Economic control Damage to property Social isolation Behaviours causing a person to live in fear Physical injury

FAMILY violence may not be what many people think it is. Head of the Casey Family Violence Unit (CFVU) Sergeant Ian Lane said one partner exercising control over the other is the real crux of the universal problem. “Family violence comes in the nonphysical form as well as the physical such as threats, psychological, economical and verbal abuse,” Sgt Lane said. “Awareness campaigns that show victims with black eyes often bring it home for people but don’t highlight other forms that women are falling victim to.” With 37 years’ experience in the force and 15 of them patrolling the streets of Casey, Sgt Lane has been in charge of the CFVU for two years and said threats and economic abuse is what he sees most.

“Contrary to popular belief, most of our work isn’t offences of physical violence,” he said. “We see economical abuse where one partner is being held against their will and threats are made to take away credit cards or the partner is only given $10 or $15 a week to live off. “Or money is only provided for household costs and nothing is left for them to buy things they may want. “Isolating a partner and ensuring they don’t leave the home and aren’t allowed to mix in a social circle or make friends is another form of abuse,” he said. Coercive and threatening behaviour in a non-sexual manner is another facet of family violence and Sgt Lane said such abuse can come in very simple ways. “Threats like ‘if dinner is not on the table

SHOP

by the time I am home’ I will do such and such to you and a lot of verbal, emotional abuse goes on with this type of family violence,” he said. The typical family violence offender is a male aged 18 to 45 years old. Sgt Lane encourages anyone who is falling victim or knows of someone experiencing violence in the home to make a police report. “The rise in family violence offences is a good thing,” he said. “If family violence reports went down I’d ask myself why because I don’t know that enough is being done at the moment to stem the flow of these types of offences. “It’s one of those things that the government and police can never do enough of to help prevent.”

Screens to protect police By LACHLAN MOORHEAD PROTECTIVE screens have finally been installed at the Endeavour Hills police station more than a year after the fatal shooting of Numan Haider. Holt MP Anthony Byrne visited the station on Wednesday to speak with Senior Sergeant Phillip Byrne about the new security measures. Sen Sgt Byrne last week told Star News his team was pleased with the screens, also set up at Narre Warren and Cranbourne stations, which he noted were a positive for both the officers and the community. On 23 September 2014, Haider allegedly stabbed two police of-

ficers outside the station and was fatally shot. The incident is being investigated by the State Coroner. Anthony Byrne, also the deputy chairman of Parliament’s Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, said he was extremely concerned with the threat posed to local police in recent times. As well as last year’s shooting outside the station, counter-terrorism raids were carried out in Casey in April just before Anzac Day, resulting in several arrests. “I acknowledge the brave men and women of the police forces and the work they do to keep our community safe,” Mr Byrne said.

“We need to have an ongoing discussion about what we need to do to continue to protect our police officers. “In light of the series of terrorist attacks in Paris on the weekend it is vital our police officers are protected and have what they required to keep our local community safe and secure.” In September this year, Police Association Victoria secretary Ron Iddles said the screens “should have been done months ago”. “The long period of time it’s taking to have protective screens installed is having an adverse effect on morale among officers in Casey,” he said.

‘Anti-Aussie’ takeover rocks migrant group's meeting By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A SELF-described ‘Migrant Team’ has staged an anti“Australian” coup during a rare board spill at a south-east based migrant resource centre. Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre chairman Brain Oates, who had migrated from the UK, was part of the victorious migrant ticket that ousted four sitting board members. Mr Oates had urged the meeting to vote for “more diversity on the board, not Australians” in the first board spill in 15 years. He later told the Journal that the Australian-born members had a “cosy relationship” with one another, a majority that marginalised other groups. “If there is one particular ethnic group that wants to take over the board, that’s a problem.” The new board members included migrants of Tamil, English, Albanian and Romanian

backgrounds. Ahead of the meeting, 10 of the 14 sitting board members undersigned a claim that Mr Oakes spread misleading statements. The 10 members denied Mr Oakes’s “incredible” claims that the board wanted to remove migrant board members and appoint only Australian professionals. “We do not engage in discriminatory attitudes and practices. “This claim is aimed at creating divisions between members based on ethnicity and professional expertise.” Mr Oakes said the new board has “new ideas and enthusiasm” - as well as a new business manager and a high-profile, spacious location in Clow Street, Dandenong - to confront a challenging future. “We need to get out there and come to terms with a brave new world.” Its funding base is more un-

certain because governments are changing to a funding model based on clients’ choice of service. In that context, the SMRC had just recorded a second consecutive financial deficit of more than $100,000 in 2014-15. “The truth is this organisation has to get back in the black this year,” Mr Oates told the meeting. During the year it closed its fee-for-service migration advice, and its Family Relationship Services for Humanitarian Entrants programs. Chief executive Jenny Semple said the latter program, a “unique” service in the region, was a particularly great loss. “Funding was removed from the program across the state, which is not a positive sign when we are all working towards reducing family violence in our community. “We will aim to look for other means to provide this vital service.”

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD AN ENDEAVOUR Hills teenager linked to the fatal hit-andrun which claimed the life of a 47-year-old Carrum Downs mother was arrested on Thursday. He was remanded overnight and was due to appear for a filing hearing at Melbourne

Magistrates’ Court on Friday charged with armed robbery and assault related offences. It was expected that further charges would be filed at court. It’s believed the 18-year-old used the allegedly stolen BMW X5 during an armed robbery in Frankston three days before the car was involved in a crash

in Mordialloc on Monday 9 November, after which victim Amanda Matheson died in hospital. A 15-year-old teen was also remanded in custody last week in relation to the hit-and-run and will appear at a children’s court on Thursday 26 November.

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.

When our service delivery came by cart MANY services that today we take for granted, such as electricity, sewerage and telephones did not exist in the early 1900s and people like the milkman, the baker and the woodman called at the house. Mr Connaughton and his sons were at that time our local wood merchants. The wood yard was behind their Victorian weatherboard house on Melbourne Road just past James Street. Across the front of the property was a high cypress hedge which, like peppercorn trees, seemed to be the norm for houses around Dandenong. At the end of the hedge was a wide cast-iron and wire farm gate. Their driveway led to a paddock at the back of the house. In the paddock was the wood yard

where the one foot blocks of firewood were cut and stacked and where Mr Connaughton kept his four-wheeled wagons and horses. Much of this wood came by rail trucks from up north where land for farming was being cleared. The family delivered large blocks of red gum and box and various other types of Australian hardwoods and

many customers burnt Mallee roots in their open fires. When we were kids, and well into the 1940s, very few people in Dandenong had telephones, so we had to walk from McCrae Street to the woodman’s house and leave a note from mum or dad telling him what type of wood and how many tons were needed. I remember one day when dad was crook or in hospital Mr Connaughton or one of his sons delivered a day load of fire wood to our house. We only had a single gate out the front into McCrae Street so he managed to come up the back lane from Power Street and into the back yard through the large double gates. He was able to throw the load of one foot blocks over the veggie garden

fence near the woodshed. But, then he had to turn his wagon around in the back yard. He was doing quite well until the near-side horse decided to go, instead of whoa, causing the side of the wagon to swing in a wider arc. It hit the corner of our stand-alone dunny which was about half way down the back yard, knocking off its red gum stumps. Had it not been for the sturdy, almost regulation, pussy willow which grew next to it we would have had a horizontal dunny instead of a vertical one. Mr Fink was our next woodman and his wood yard was on the corner of McCrae and Walker streets. He lived in a house in Walker Street next to the O’Brien property and just

over the back corner of our next house at 40 Clow Street. Apart from the post office, the only people who had telephones were doctors, police and some shops. Those first phones were wooden boxes with a fixed speaker or mouthpiece and an ear piece on a cord which hung in a cradle on the side. When you lifted the receiver off the hook you wound a small handle on the side of the box. That put you in touch with the manual exchange at the post office and they connected you to the number you needed. Most numbers were only two or three digits, vastly different from today’s world of mobiles, where most of the phone call time is taken up dialling the number.

Rev-head Reverend By GEORGIA WESTGARTH HE WAS a street kid who set up a tent behind the Dandenong Lunar Drive-in where he watched Mad Max on the big screen every night for five months - now a Reverend he’s just finished building his very own Interceptor. Reverend Peter Roberts, of the Cranbourne Scots Presbyterian Church, was kicked out of an abusive family home in Doveton at 15 years of age. “I set my tent up in the middle of the prickle bushes so no-one could see me - I watched Mad Max every night I was there,” Rev Roberts said. Due to the popularity of the Australian film, the Lunar Drive-in played the first Mad Max movie every night for a year - leaving the clean lines of the famous Interceptor etched in a young Rev Robert’s mind. “You could say I know the film off by heart,” he said. “As a person with nothing, no education, out on the streets, I was looking at this car thinking, wow, that’s amazing and now I have my own 40 years later.

Santa then led shoppers on a jolly parade through the kids’ mall and into the new and improved Christmas Lane. News photographer ROB CAREW was there to capture all the Christmas action. 146852

Phones a target for theft on street POLICE have warned Narre Warren residents to be on high alert when walking alone after three violent street robberies occurred within nine hours of each other. The spate of robberies all happened on Friday 13 November where two of the victims were walking near Westfield Fountain Gate. Mobile phones were targeted and taken at each attack. Casey Crime Investigation Unit detective Senior Sergeant Rodney Maroney said late night transport users walking home from train stations or bus stops become “soft targets” for these sorts of crime. “Once they have seen the phone in your hand and you walk off the main road they think I want that and that’s when most attacks occur,” Sen Sgt Maroney said. In the string of robberies the first attack occurred at 2.45pm at the walkway near Prospect Hill Road footbridge. Three males approached the two victims who were walking with one of their phones visible. The offender tried to grab the phone out of the victim’s hand, the pair struggled before the offender threated to break the victims jaw if the phone wasn’t handed over. The victim in the second incident was put into a headlock before their mobile phone was also taken on a bike track on Summerlea Road and the Monash Freeway at 3pm. This time the victim was on their way to Fountain Gate when the male - described as in his late twenties wearing a light blue hoody and tracksuit pants - rushed at the victim from behind and fled with the mobile phone. Just eight hours later the third attack happened at 11.30pm when a Foutain Gate staffer noticed he was being followed when he was walking back to his car after work. Near Officeworks in the shopping centre car park the man tried to get away but was caught and punched in the face before handing his phone over. The offender was described as a stocky Caucasian male wearing a black hoody with a blue logo, black baseball cap, basketball shorts and black shoes with white laces. Sen Sgt Maroney said the police get a lot of these types of reports and recommended vigilance as well as the Find My Phone App. “The Find my Phone App is a start and being a lot more conscious when in isolated areas off main roads and make sure to keep phones out of sight,” he said. Anyone with any information on these three attacks is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

CARNIVAL ATMOSPHERE FOR LAUNCH More than 1000 people attended the Waterford Rise Carnival on 14 November to celebrate the opening of 20 new display homes. The display village is the largest outside of metropolitan Melbourne and provides not only the latest home design trends but the latest interior design as well. The highlight of the day was the helicopter rides that provided a bird’s eye view of Warragul and Drouin for the lucky 72 people who won a seat in the raffle. The gala event also featured a wide variety of entertainment including a jumping castle, face painters and a petting zoo as well as a roving magician. Food was amazing from two food trucks the curry truck and a burrito van - as well as more than 500 sausages given away to hungry revellers by the Warragul Lions Club. But the true stars of the show were the 20 homes presented by 11 of Australia’s leading builders including Metricon, J.G King, Aaron J Homes, Simonds, Red Bluff, Eco Option Homes Roseleigh Homes, Fairhaven Homes, Cheviot Homes, Green Design and Dennis Family Homes. These beautiful display homes have been arranged around Hillgrove Close providing potential buyers with an easily accessible view into the amazing choices available for today’s varied lifestyles. Land prices at the newly released Waterford Rise stage 15 range from $124,000 (473 square metres) to $206,000 (1128 square metres) as well as a range of house and land packages from major builders

including the homes in the display village. The blocks are in three courts providing an idyllic environment for families arranged around the amenities in the new Kestle Park. All blocks feature free fencing, level builder-ready lots and/or engineered retaining walls and Foxtel ready ultra-fast broadband.

Drug rehab day stay By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A SUCCESSFUL drug and alcohol service in Melbourne’s north has opened a day rehab facility in Narre Warren - its first in Casey and funded by the State Government as it aims to tackle the spread of ice locally. UnitingCare ReGen, based in Coburg, has just started running the six-week day rehab program out of Connections in Webb Street, the community centre where Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley visited on Tuesday 17 November to officially announce the funding as part of Labor’s $45.5 million Ice Action Plan. ReGen CEO Laurence Alvis said the funding, which was allocated until June 2018, will allow for roughly five ‘dayhab’ courses a year, which each run for six weeks and are full time from Monday to Friday. “When we spoke to Connections about the potential we said we’d really like to submit for funding in some of these areas and Connections was the one that had the venue, because the most important thing is that we actually needed to have a venue that could be adapted fairly quickly for the start of the program,” he said. Unlike other programs, ReGen participants go home at the end of each session. “People can go back into their community and actually practice what they’ve learnt, and if they do happen to have a lapse one day, where they use drug and alcohol again, it’s not the end of the program,” Mr Alvis said. “It’s about coming back and saying what did you learn? What are you going to do differently?”

ReGen CEO Laurence Alvis is excited about starting a rehab facility in Casey. 146999 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS Ms Graley said it was vital for people in Casey to have access to rehab, especially due to the region’s “limited service delivery”. “In the outer suburbs, we’ve got our own challenges, especially with the number of young people that live here, go to school here, and we also have our own challenges around the

limited service delivery and service provision that we have in the interface outer suburban areas.” “I’m really pleased to announce today that these service providers are now taking referrals and this includes Uniting Care Re-Gen service, who will be providing services for the Casey Cardinia area, and

that’s good news for everybody, every family that comes into my office desperately seeking help. “I’m glad you’re going to be there for them.” Those who are seeking drug and alcohol treatment, including community-based day rehab, can phone DirectLine on 1800 888 236.

Faith in understanding By LACHLAN MOORHEAD STEPHANIE Saunders may be idealistic, but she is not unrealistic. As the new president of the Casey Multifaith Network, taking over from Jim Reiher, her approach to helping educate people and easing tensions is simple. “You don’t try for a whole country - (you try) one person at a time,” Stephanie, who is Jewish, said. And it’s a philosophy that has already been successful for her. “There’s a woman and she does come to multifaith when she can, she’s very, very busy,” Stephanie said. “She’s a very devout Muslim, from Lebanon, which Israel bombed and she would not have willingly met a Jew. She was very angry. “And today, if she walks through the door we hug. So it can be done. “It’s absolutely marvellous.” Stephanie spoke to Star News two days before the terror attacks in Paris which have so far claimed 129 lives and counting, as of Monday. Stephanie noted the work of a multifaith

network was as important now as it ever was, but she said violence and tensions could be traced back throughout the centuries. Born in England and growing up in London during WWII, the Berwick great-grandmother remembers being moved around to avoid bombardments, before coming to Australia in 1967. Her time with the network began about five years ago when she attended a U3A class with fellow Casey multifaith member Pam Mamouney, where Pam always spoke of the benefits of the network. “She was always talking about multifaith and one day I said to her can I come? And she was delighted,” Stephanie said. “They’re always looking for more people, not necessarily for me. “And I became more than interested because I look for a means to have peace, other than war, and it strikes me that if I know you and you know me, we find out that we all want the same things. “We all want a roof over our head, food on the table and education for our children. “All of us, no matter where, and this seemed to be the way to do it.”

Spotlight’s on lightfingered cable guys

Stephanie Saunders is the new president of the Casey Multifaith Network.

Call goes out for calm in face of Paris killings By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

“These barbaric terrorists must be held accountable as individuals, not as representatives of any faith,” Sohail said. The network’s new president Stephanie Saunders called for calm in the wake of the tragedy. “We live in a world where events that occur in one part of the world have instantaneous effects throughout the globe,” she said. “As a network with the objective of promoting interfaith harmony, I urge members of the

THE Casey Multifaith Network has condemned the terrorist bombings and shootings in Paris, labelling them an attack on “all of humanity”. In an official response members of the network expressed their “deepest condolences” to the victims and families of the attacks in Paris and Beirut. Executive member of the network and Muslim Sohail Yamin said terrorism “has no religion”.

wider community to maintain calm in face of the attacks that occurred over the weekend. “We must not let our richness of diversity be diminished by the abhorrent acts of a minority.” Vice-president Jim Reiher said he knew many “peace-loving and law-abiding Muslims” who are “equally mortified by the events in Paris”. “Compassion must prevail at this time,” he said. Authorities have confirmed

the current death toll from the Paris attacks on 13 November at 129 and counting as of last week with more than 40 estimated to be in intensive care. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the six co-ordinated attacks in France’s capital; the country’s worst since WWII. As well as shootings at local bars and restaurants, the deadliest assault was at the Bataclan concert venue where more than 1000 people gathered to watch rock band Eagles of

Death Metal. It comes as Lebanon held a day of national mourning after more than 40 were killed in two suicide bombings in the capital, Beirut, on Thursday. The bombing was the deadliest in Beirut since the end of Lebanon’s civil war in 1990.

POLICE are on the hunt for two thieves who stole 23 rolls of electrical cable and a bunch of down lights from a Narre Warren store this week. The two men pulled up outside the wholesale electrical business in Victor Crescent about 2.50am on Wednesday 11 November in a distinctive black Holden ute, with a rear cover. They then got out of the car and jemmied open the store’s side door, before getting inside and stealing 23 rolls of white Olex-brand electrical cable and a large number of down lights. Police have released CCTV images from the incident, in the hope someone can identify the thieves.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Winners are the grinners By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM THE winners of the 2015 Casey-Cardinia Business Awards celebrated their achievements with award sponsors at a recent lunch.

Representatives of the successful businesses gathered at The Brownstone Micro Brewery and Tavern in Doveton on Thursday 12 November. The newly-elected mayors of both the City of Casey and the Cardinia Shire spoke at the event, congratulating the award winners. Casey mayor Sam Aziz highlighted the incredible story behind Wastech Engineering, the 2015 Business of the Year. “Wastech Engineering has operated successfully for over 21 years, with their head office and manufacturing site still based locally in Hallam,” he said. “Significant growth over the past two decades has led Wastech Engineering to expand operations to encompass all states of Australia and New Zealand, with overseas projects becoming more prevalent. “While their innovating

Sandra Nayor (St John of God Hospital), Debbie Clarkson (Cranbourne Racing Club), Joanne Masters (St John of God Hospital). 146893 business has been recognised many times for business acumen, I’m sure that recognition as the Casey Cardinia Business of the Year is hugely satisfying for both owners and staff.” Cardinia mayor Jodie Owen encouraged local businesses to embrace the opportunity again next year. “The Casey Cardinia Business Awards have been a wonderful celebration of our regional business community,” she said.

“They provide a fantastic networking opportunity and I encourage every award winner, finalist and applicant to spread the word and get involved in the Casey Cardinia Business Awards next year.” Repesentatives of sponsors were also present, including the Commonwealth Bank, Pitcher Partners, Monash University, Telstra Business Centre Casey Cardinia, AJ Recruitment as well as media partner Star News Group.

Frances Grigoriau (Cardinia Shire Council) and Peter Stanley (RACV Business Insurance).

Lisa Panjkov (Beaconsfield Dental) and Raylene Wilson (City of Casey).

Cr Graeme Moore, mayor Jodie Owen and Cr Leticia Wilmot, all of Cardinia Shire.

GROW., the new regional business magazine is launching later this year and will change the way you think about business in the Casey Cardinia region. Developed in partnership with Star News Group and City of Casey and Shire of Cardinia Councils the publication will shine light on local business’ successes, struggles and offer an opportunity for targeted business to business promotion.

Ryan Khew (Waverley Industries) and Kevin Slattery (Cranbourne Body Works).

Martin Reidy (Telstra Business Centre) and Jo Boole (Star News Group).

Draft picks nearing By JARROD POTTER THE lead-up to the AFL National Draft on Tuesday, and subsequently Friday’s AFL Rookie Draft, is almost over. By the time the names have been all called, the Dandenong Stingrays look all but certain to produce their fifth number one draft pick in key defender Jacob Weitering, 18, from Mt Martha, who has held the football world’s interest for the past few months. On top of Weitering, the Stingrays should add a few more draftees to their history with Kieran Collins (from Langwarrin), Bailey Rice (Beaconsfield), Brandon White (Beaconsfield) as well as midfielder Kurt Mutimer (Narre Warren) and ruckman Gach Nyuon (Narre Warren) all in the mix heading into Tuesday’s draft. Add to that a number of other players primed for a rookie spot opportunity or to head into the VFL and it’s been a remarkable season for the boys at Shepley Oval. It starts from the top as Weitering has proven himself match after match, playing for Dandenong, The Peninsula School, the AFL Academy and Vic Country this season. The level of interest in Weitering didn’t come without reason; he is far and away the best player out of this year’s draftees. The 195cm defensive dynamo is elite in every facet - marking, spoiling, kicking in play or at the goals plus his true utility to play tall or small. His skills have translated to winning a shelf-load of awards this year - the Ben Mitchell Medal, a national championship as Vic Country captain, All Australian, TAC Cup Team of the Year and receiving an invite to

Jacob Weitering is poised to become Dandenong's fifth number one draft pick at the AFL National Picture: JARROD POTTER Draft on Tuesday. 141641 the AFL National Combine. While Weitering’s efforts with the ball are impressive on their own, he said in July that his focus is teamfirst, what he achieves as an individual is only possible because of his mates helping him on-field. “Individual accolades come along, but I’m a team man and that’s why I play a team sport,” Weitering said earlier this year. “Being with the boys is something I’ll look back on - it’s as simple as that.” Dandenong Stingrays coach Craig Black is acutely aware of Weitering’s prowess and what his

champion player will want to do after the hype and speculation settles down next week. “You surely don’t need anything on Weiters do you?” Black said laughing. “He was fantastic, did everything right and was a player you didn’t need to check on and would do everything right. “He would go about his business, show up and do the work necessary to at the level required - from his point of view I think he would be looking forward to Tuesday night, then rolling up his sleeves and getting them dirty and getting into a pre-season.

“There’s been a lot of hype even during the year about it - so for him he’d be looking forward to being a number, starting again and earning respect at an AFL club and seeing how well he can play.” For more on this year’s draftees - visit the Dandenong Journal website www.dandenong.starcommuntiy.com.au to read the Ray A Day seven-article series on the club’s best seven prospects heading into Tuesday. The AFL Draft is televised on Fox Footy from 6.30pm while the rookie draft will be held on Friday at 11am.

Future in his sights - and what a journey By JARROD POTTER FOOTBALL has been a short but amazingly enjoyable journey so far for Dandenong Stingrays ruckman Gach Nyuon. Nyuon, 18, who lives in Keysborough, is in line to become the first Greater Dandenong resident to be drafted into the AFL since Alex Woodward in 2011. His history has a mix of tragedy, opportunity and good fortune - having fled war-torn South Sudan with his family when he was just an infant and settling in Australia as a refugee - but what drives the elite ruck prospect is his future, not his past. While his football history might not be as long, Nyuon’s story is one jammed full of success. The 200cm high-leaping ruckman equalled the jumping records of West Coast’s Nic Naitanui at the combine and put his name in bright lights ahead of the draft, but the hard work came this year on the back of rehabilitating a severe knee injury that curtailed his 2014. “I’ve found that I’ve developed quite well within a short period of time,” Nyuon said. “I couldn’t have done it without all the guys here. “Found it hard at the start, not being good at football or knowing much about it off the field, and

Gach Nyuon - pictured with the national championship trophy in July - is on the verge of becoming an AFL footballer at next week's Picture: JARROD POTTER draft. 141285 then that (knee injury) was probably the biggest set-back I’ve had in my short footy career - was pretty tough when I did my knee, couldn’t play or do anything for six months. “I knew coming back from that injury would be tough - getting my fitness and everything - so I just thought to be really professional in the way I went about it and do everything my strength and conditioning coaches asked.” With his football history still freshly written, starting in 2012 at Narre North Recreation Reserve, in

three shorts years the athletic ruckman has become an All Australian, national champion and TAC Cup Team of the Year recipient as well as listed in the country’s top-88 draft prospects with an invite to the AFL National Combine. “It is a massive privilege to be represented in the All Australian squad - I worked really hard for it, I wanted to be the best ruckman in the championships and I was confident of that,” Nyuon said. “It wasn’t more for me, but for my team first - give the mids first

use and be a link-up target around the ground to help the team win.” Five AFL clubs have shown interest in Nyuon and three of those sides showed their hand even further having interviewed Nyuon on multiple occasions. “I’m confident - a bit nervous at the same time, but we’ll just have to wait and see,” Nyuon said. Dandenong Stingrays coach Craig Black has been one of Nyuon’s biggest supporters and helped the fledgling ruckman make the step up through the TAC Cup ranks and to the verge of a league football career. “New to the game and his improvement from a 17-year-old to an 18-year-old can’t be underestimated,” Black said. “When the big G man realised what he had to do with his training output, his consistency in games went up when his work ethic improved. “He’s still got to understand the demands of AFL footy but that’s the good thing about having a young kid develop - they’re always learning and we hope he gets an opportunity to go and show his traits in the AFL. “His ability to start understanding the game later in the season flourished as well and as long as he gets an opportunity I’m sure he’ll grab it with both hands.”

Rising to challenge By JARROD POTTER BERWICK up-and-coming basketballer Mason Peatling has pledged to join Eastern Washington University after signing his letter of intent on Wednesday. Peatling, 18, will move to America in six months ahead of his maiden NCAA Division 1 campaign with the Eagles in 2016/17. Peatling’s late call up to represent Victoria Metro at the Under-20 Australian Junior Basketball Championships didn’t go unnoticed by the college, who immediately starting communicating with the 200cm power forward college prospect. His state duties and an excellent debut SEABL season with the Dandenong Rangers had Eastern Washington even keener to sign him. But the choice came on the back of Eastern Washington’s continued eagerness to sign him, as the college had been in constant contact, even flying coaches out to meet Peatling and his family recently. The significance of that gesture wasn’t lost on Peatling, who soon after signed on the dotted line. “They approached me pretty early on in the year after the nationals were pretty quick onto it,” Peatling said. “I was named an emergency then 12 hours later they were talking to me, congratulating me - was bizarre in 12 hours they caught wind. “It started from there and the ties to Dandenong with previous Dandenong players going there make the decision a lot easier and now I’ve met them and they’re good people, lots of people I can trust. “I got to know their people and their coaches came out to meet me and my family - that was important - knowing I won’t just be signing up for the basketball program but going into a great situation with the people as well.” Eastern Washington has turned into mini-Melbourne in many ways with Dandenong alumnus Venky Jois completing his final year in America, while Michael Wearne is currently a freshman on the roster and current Dandenong Ranger Jack Perry could also potentially attend the college after a full scholarship offer. “It was definitely a positive to know there were a couple of guys over there who were part of Dande-

Dandenong Rangers forward Mason Peatling has signed his letter of intent to go to Eastern Washington Picture: JARROD POTTER University. 141078 nong - for me I remember as a 14 year old going to watch Venky play,” Peatling said. “Was great when the people there were saying ’we need someone when Venky goes out’ and also knew Michael Wearne, who was at Dandenong and is now freshman this year. “They’re definitely taking care of their Australians - I wouldn’t say they persuaded me because of that, but it’s great to know they’re very trustworthy.” There’s one more state championship campaign on the horizon for Peatling, who is currently in the final-17 man squad before the last

cut to the championships team in February and he hopes to get another chance to represent Victoria Metro at the upcoming tournament. Even with what lies ahead in his basketball journey, Peatling still can’t quite believe everything that has happened in 2015 as a season of highlights went by quickly. “It’s living in the moment I guess - just passes by before you realise,” Peatling said. “I played my first state team, was a really great experience and get back there again and have a bigger role in the team. “Playing for the Dandenong SE-

ABL team was a definite highlight, did some fun stuff when we went on the road and went to Tasmania - to go there to play basketball - in Brisbane to play basketball. “Basketball has taken me places this year I wouldn’t have been otherwise and I’ll be going to America because of basketball again and 2015 was about embracing the opportunity basketball provides.” He wanted to thank his parents for their support and especially his girlfriend Laura, who is also packing up and making the move to Washington to be with Peatling next year.

Munro rolls up sleeves for superb soccer By JARROD POTTER CREATING a high-calibre culture for women’s south-east soccer enticed Stuart Munro across to Southern United. The former Glasgow Rangers champion has been a south-eastern men’s soccer fixture for the last two decades, but decided to join the startup club on the coast. He’ll become the inaugural senior coach for Southern United ahead of the maiden Women’s National Premier League Victoria season. The club - formed by a five-club consortium of Casey Comets, Seaford, Mornington, Langwarrin and Peninsula Strikers - put the feelers out for a new coach and immediately snatched up Munro once he showed interest. After relinquishing his senior coaching role at Dandenong Thunder at the end of the season, Munro thought the opportunity to cultivate the south-east’s female soccer talent was a new challenge worth pursuing. “I guess that’s what the attraction is - first and foremost it’s a massive change coming across from the men’s

Butterfield’s century call-up well justified

Stuart Munro is ready for the coaching challenge with new WNPL side Southern United. 146864 Picture: JARROD POTTER game - where I’ve been involved in for many, many years,” Munro said. “I started thinking about the women’s game more than a year ago. “I just felt there were a lot of positives and sensed the FFA was pushing the women’s game and it was going to become more popular.

“When this came up a couple of months ago, because it’s a brand new club and a brand new competition and the club was based in the Peninsula area where I live, I felt it was going to be a really good fit for me and really quite interested in.” Munro did his homework on the new club, and everything about the WNPL consortium impresses him as he looks ahead to senior recruiting for season one. “When the club approached me about taking on the role, I did a fair bit of due diligence so that it wouldn’t be just a short term thing,” Munro said. “Ever since the day I thought this could be really good, I’ve never had a negative thought and everything I thought about has been positive. “The very thought to build something from basically nothing is exciting - we don’t even know where we are going to play from - all those things are quite exciting and you get to put your blueprint on it straight away.” Munro wants to concentrate on development in year one - success of

course won’t be forgotten at United, but he wants to lay the framework to build the south-ast region’s soccer for years to come. “I want to concentrate on developing the southern girls and giving them a pathway to come through and hopefully one day play in the W-League,” Munro said. “We also want to be a competitive team and have these young girls come and support us - we want them to be proud to come and watch the senior girls as that’s where they’re going to strive to reach. “We want to create a culture and environment in the club - from the 13s to the seniors - that will make everyone feel part of it.” Southern United president Theresa Deas - a former Matildas and Casey Comets player - believed Stuart’s signing was a great boon for women’s soccer in the local region. For more information on joining the club - with tryouts for under13s, under-15s, under-18s and senior women’s teams currently running - contact Southern United via its Facebook page www.facebook.com/ southernutd or www.pitchero.com/ clubs/southernunitedfc

ALL he needed to do was return a phone call. Dialling the number set the scene for Dandenong’s Justin Butterfield to start his Victorian Premier Cricket career. Despite missing the calls from Dandenong legend Warren Ayres, Butterfield, 28, from Narre Warren, eventually rang him back and accepted an opportunity that would shape the next 10 years of his sporting life. Ayres’ eye at the crease was legendary, but so it seems was his eye for scouting talent, as his repeated recruiting efforts reaped Dandenong another wonderful clubman in Butterfield, who just notched his 100th first XI match on Saturday as a Panther. “I got a phone call from Ayresy years ago and kept missing his calls and I eventually got in touch with him and he said come down,” Butterfield said. “Dandenong runs an open day each year and I had a bowl down there and he asked me if I’d like to play and it was as simple as that.” From humble beginnings, working his way up through second and third grades, Butterfield has well and truly cemented his spot as Dandenong’s spearhead in charge of a young attack. With 168 first grade wickets at an average of 22 since joining the club in 2006/07including 17 already this season - he’s been a force throughout his time at Shepley Oval and isn’t slowing down yet. “It was bit of a long time coming to be honest - had a few quiet years so I didn’t think I’d get there in the end, but I’m very proud to run out for Dandenong,” Butterfield said. “We’ve been alright - we had that three year patch where we made back-to-back grand finals and a semi-final before that, so like anything it goes in cycles and we’ve always been there or there abouts, if we’ve missed finals we’ve never been too far away. “Success - particularly in the first XI - is something that is expected -whenever we’ve missed out it hasn’t been by much, so it’s never been a particularly disappointing season.” He would know a thing or two about ultimate club cricket success. Butterfield’s fondest Premier memory isn’t with the ball, but with the bat, as his amazing 32-run partnership with James Pattinson under pressure-filled circumstances in the nail-biting 2010/11 Victorian Premier Cricket finale. Their final-wicket stand saw off Frankston-Peninsula’s dying efforts to snatch the premiership away from Dandenong, but the bowler’s rearguard 13 off 58 balls ensured the Panthers claimed the pennant. But it’s not just the premiership that stood out to him, but the people he played with along the way including a plethora of Test cricketers who have called Shepley Oval their club-cricketing home including the Pattinsons - Darren and James - and Peter Siddle. “That’s obviously the highlight of the career (the premiership) and playing with those sorts of people, Darren, James and Pete; it’s been great to have on-field success and be around blokes who have been at the top level,” Butterfield said. “It’s always a thrill when they’re down at training and you have a chat to them and then go out and play.” Dandenong coach Ross Woodall said Butterfield’s perennial efforts throughout the years though - sticking by the Panthers through lean years after the club’s premiership success in 2010/11 - was a testament to his character. “He’s the heart and soul of the place and it’s really important for us to perform well in his 100th,” Woodall said. “He’s done a hell of a lot for the club and the blokes out here today, so it’s about time we repay the favour.” Butterfield charged in for his 100th Victorian Premier Cricket match and toiled on Saturday to take 2/56 as the Panthers will need to work hard to chase down Carlton’s 339.

Pictures: SUPPLIED Right: Connections for Dyna Double One (left) and Fernando Bale (right) celebrate a big night for the kennel at the TAB Melbourne Cup. Wheeler confirmed that had his champion greyhound Fernando Bale won, he would have been effectively retired on the night. However during the post-race presentation, he declared that Fernando Bale will continue racing indefinitely.

Dyna Double One’s Melbourne Cup victory was the 22nd win in his 41 start career, and the $420,000 first prize lifted his prize money to $698,148. By finishing second, Fernando Bale picked up a further $120,000 and now boasts $1,288,110 in prize money.

Dandenong doyen Donnell’s dab hand By JARROD POTTER VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET - ROUND 7 REVIEW (Day 2) WHATEVER Dandenong ate at lunch should be banned from the rooms after a disastrous collapse after the break. Chasing Carlton’s (339 and 1/20) mammoth first-innings tally, the Dandenong approach was well measured and cautious through the first hour, but was thrown out the window as they lost seven wickets quickly following the break. Skipper Tom Donnell (90no) and Brett Forsyth (43) saw the shine off the new ball and the pair’s caution paid off initially as they raced to their second 100-run stand this season.

Extra celebration along the way came for Donnell, surpassing Tim Hooper as Dandenong’s greatest run-scorer in his exceptional innings. Ryan Sidebottom (2/56) and Cameron Stevenson (3/35) started to chip away at the top order before a chaos-ball spell from Thomas Smyth (5/11) ripped chunks from the Panthers’ order. Losing 10 wickets for 72 runs in lightning fast procession, Dandenong could not give Donnell the help needed to stay at the crease, with the captain the only man left standing. His impressive effort to carrythe-bat, finishing 10 shy of a well deserved century, was the only positive to glean from Sunday as the Panthers’ middle order woes

became an urgent problem. Dandenong slips to sixth on the VPC first ladder with Twenty20 season resuming this weekend as the Panthers hosts St Kilda on Saturday before heading over the bridge to Footscray-Edgewater on Sunday. Noble Park (0/0) is in dire trouble against Balwyn (9/283dec) while Endeavour Hills (7/152) managed to push towards a reasonable tally as Luke Cody (47no) and skipper Vaughan Baxter (15no) will resume against Kew. It wasn’t the case for many other teams around the league, as Dandenong Women’s were washed out at Greaves Reserve as was the entire Turf contingent of the Dandenong District Cricket Association.

Enquiries to: Tom Donnell’s 90 not out was the only positive on Dandenong’s dire day with the bat. 147383 Picture: JARROD POTTER

DYNA Double One upstaged illustrious kennel mate Fernando Bale in what will long be remembered as one of the great TAB Melbourne Cups. Seeking an unprecedented ninth Group 1 title in what was widely touted to be his final start, Fernando Bale stunned everyone when for the first time since July, he missed the start and was slowly away from the boxes. However he soon showed his trademark dazzling turn of foot, and with a huge roar from the crowd, charged through the first turn four-wide before crossing the field and leading by three lengths entering the back straight. Dyna Double One had similarly began only fairly before railing strongly through the first turn and setting off in pursuit of his more fancied kennel mate, setting up the race that greyhound fans everywhere had longed to see. With their rivals left behind, the race became a match race between two of the greats of the modern era. Dyna Double One closed in on Fernando Bale turning for home only for the champ to respond and in a thrilling run to the line, Dyna Double One finally nabbed his rival to land the world’s richest greyhound race by a neck in a new race record of 29.17. “I’ve always said that Double One will show what he’s capable of one day and he did it in the biggest race in the country,” Andrea Dailly said. Despite being beaten, Dailly was full of praise for Fernando Bale’s performance. “The effort he put in was just sensational. He ran his race upside down, and to only be beaten a neck by Dyna Double One with him just three lengths off him down the back is just phenomenal. At box rise I thought ‘he can’t win the race’, but within a twinkling of an eye he was in front. “From where he was, I’d have thought Dyna Double One would have beaten him by a couple of lengths but Fernando’s will to win is enormous and he just keeps on trying.”

RENAULT Captur is a stylish city car that’s virtually a Renault Clio with a taller five-door hatch body. It joins a sudden rash of small crossover SUVs that are taking Australia by storm. In fact these vehicles are a hit in global markets, particularly in Europe where parking in increasingly crowded cities is a huge problem. Note the word styling in our opening to this story, because that’s the number one reason people are giving us when we talk about their buying a Renault Captur. Interestingly, favourable responses are coming to us not only from youngsters who appreciate French style, but also from the over 60s who appreciate the ease of entry and exit from taller cars. While relatively small on the outside, Renault Captur has space for four adults in comfort. Mum and dad in the front and three pre-teen kids in the back is likely to be the typical Australian set-up and works well in this tall hatch. Versatility is excellent as the rear seat slides back and forwards to let you choose between passenger and luggage space. Headroom is plentiful for all but the tallest of basketball players. Captur is sold in the usual Renault models of Expression and Dynamique, the recommended retail price begins at a pretty reasonable $22,990. The kick up in the window line at the rear works well in the way it joins the roof-mounted rear spoiler. Also appealing are the deeply sculpted lines of the lower part of the doors. The style lines of Captur’s body are further enhanced by being offered in a large palette of

Renault Captur is all about style, but it’s exceptionally versatile in its people carrying ability. bright colours, many of them to provide a twotone paint scheme. Buyers can choose from different colours in the cabin as well, both on the major surfaces and the detailed trim on the dash and doors. Even better the seat covers can zipped off and replaced by new ones in different colours. Or simply removed for easy cleaning. Captur has a multimedia system controlled through a seven-inch tablet-type screen accessing satellite navigation, radio, phone and networking for apps grouped. Audio sounds good without being outstanding. USB, Bluetooth and Aux make connectivity easy. Renault Captur is powered by either a 0.9-litre

three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine producing 62 kW, or a 1.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol with 88 kW. The power number translatesinto 90 and 120 horsepower, hence the Captur models being labelled TCe 90 and TCe 120 The Captur TCe 90 comes only with a fivespeed manual gearbox, all TCe 120 models drive through a six-speed double-clutch automatic. The interior disappoints in being finished in various shades of grey, though the white stitching on the dark-grey seats does lift it a little, and there are some chromed highlights.
