Medals for well read By Cam Lucadou-Wells Mossgiel Park Primary’s keenest readers were celebrated during Book Week awards on 22 August. As part of the Excellence in Reading Awards, students received medals and dressed in red to signify they were well “read”. The school was also visited by author Chrissie Parry during a week of activities around the theme “Australia! Story Country”. The week also featured a ‘guess the number of pages’ competition, and a literacy competition. Medallion winners Nithin, Bailey and Talar enjoy a story during Mossgiel Park's reading awards. 158076

■ Councillors launch counter attack over plans to close station...
Counter cops cut Casey councillors are outraged over a trial closure of Endeavour Hills police station’s front counter on weekend nights. Once touted as a 24/7 police station, the station will be closed to the public at 5pm rather than 11pm on weekends, but police patrols on those nights will be increased. Councillor Louise Berkelmans, who heads the council’s community safety committee, said the “desperate” move showed that police resources were stretched thin in Casey. “They are so desperate to get more police on the streets in Casey. They’ve got to the point they have not got a choice.” Councillor Rafal Kaplon said: “How much can
you continually rejig existing resources?” He said the council had repeatedly lobbied for the State Government to increase police numbers due to crime rates soaring by 19 per cent in the past year. According to Crime Statistics Agency figures, crime rose in Endeavour Hills in 2015-’16 by 45 per cent, Doveton by 22 per cent and Hallam by 11 per cent. Full-time equivalent police positions stationed in Casey are two less than in November 2014 when the State Government took office. Police said a review found low numbers of public attendances and phone calls to Endeavour Hills station, particularly on weekends. Police Minister Lisa Neville said the trial was about getting “more police on the road” to respond to calls and proactively prevent crime.
“The trial will see additional police patrolling on weekends for longer, not less. “As the Chief Commissioner has clearly stated, he’d rather see police working out in the community instead of filling out paperwork behind a counter.” Acting Senior Sergeant Carolyn Hill, of Endeavour Hills police, said most people who attended the station required documents to be signed. “There’s still a counter service available to sign documents on weekdays and weekend days, as well as (on weekend nights) at Dandenong and Narre Warren stations. “The whole community is getting a better service with that extra police resource on the road.” Opposition police spokesman Edward O’Donohue said Victorians were “rightly con-

cerned” by the “out of control” spate of carjackings, home invasions, drive-by shootings and gang violence, he said. “When will Daniel Andrews acknowledge there is a frontline police numbers crisis in Casey and across Victoria before further stations have to close or have their opening hours cut?” The station’s weekday public opening hours of 7am to 11pm are unchanged. During times when the station’s counter is closed, phone calls will be diverted to Narre Warren police station’s 24-hour counter service. For urgent police assistance, the public is advised to call triple zero. Police say the trial will be evaluated at the end of the year.

Invasion family hits out By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Berwick man who was left shattered by his home being invaded by a carload of burglars is getting even by organising a grass-roots crimeprevention meeting. The man ‘Brett’, who does not want to be identified, said his family intends to move out of its Beaumont housing estate due to the aggravated burglary on the night of 13 August. He is still shaken to think at least one intruder had walked past his and his children’s bedrooms just after midnight. “I can’t sleep. My children can’t sleep. I have a golf club and a cricket bat next to my bed.“ The intruder had taken off their shoes outside, walked through the unlocked rear door of the adjoining garage and not woken the family dog until he’d got most of the way through the house.
“The dog scared them. “I heard them in the garage and I thought they were breaking in. There was a car load of them out the front. “It wasn’t until an hour later when the police came in and found my wife’s handbag and car keys out the back. That’s when I realised they must have got in.” Brett said several other homes in his street were broken into on the same night. He’s learnt the hard way to lock all the doors and switch on his security alarms. Brett’s motivation for the meeting is not to promote a vigilante response, nor to have it politicised, but just for the community “look out” for one another. “Pay attention to what’s happening at your neighbour’s house as well as our own security.” One of the meeting’s guests is Casey councillor
In Brief Teens charged over thefts
Louise Berkelmans who was a victim of a theft at her Cranbourne North home. Tools were taken from her husband’s lockedup car in their driveway. Several neighbours suffered the same fate, on the same night, she said. “The only thing we can do as a community is to be aware and responsible.” The event is gathering momentum, with a Casey Residents Crime Prevention Gathering page on Facebook - with more than 400 expressions of interest since 22 August. The event includes police, Neighbourhood Watch members, and experts on alarms, security door, and self-defence. The meeting will be held at Sweeney Reserve, Berwick, on Saturday 10 September at 2pm.

Ace plays new card as it settles into fresh markets

Police probe home shooting A man is recovering after being shot at a residence in Albert Road, Hallam, on Wednesday 24 August. Emergency crews were called about 10am to the home where the man was found with nonlife threatening injuries. Victoria Police’s Armed Offenders Squad is investigating the incident.
By Cam Lucadou-Wells As the automotive industry grinds to a halt, Hallam manufacturer Ace Wire Works has been forced to mould new markets. When it comes to new business possibilities, its motto seems to be ‘how long is a piece of wire’. Once firmly enmeshed as an automotive supply chain company, Ace Wire Works supplied thousands of wire parts for car seats and headrests for Ford, Holden and Toyota. It now depends on them for just 15-20 per cent of its business. Managing director Sam Harris said the 62-year-old company was well-placed for the auto industry’s ‘ground zero’ having just prospered in one of its most successful years in 2015-16. “The downturn in automotive in years past would have been significant but we’ve diversified over the past five to 10 years.” Its new, growing vistas include designing and making high-end wire furniture, tree guards, commercial oven racks, farm gates and retail display stands. Mr Harris said its high-tech plant with a 40-strong workforce was still capable of supplying overseas car-makers at a competitive price, but for the high cost of shipping from Australia. Instead the firm would focus on new markets and invest in new technology and machinery at its Abbott Road factory. The company has benefited from a $16,000 grant from the State Government to help further develop its transition plan with advice from Pitcher Partners consultant Robert Tigani. It would help Ace Wire Works not only retain staff but grow the business, Mr Harris said. Grants of up to $55,000 are available for companies affected by the auto-industry shutdown under the state’s $5 million Automotive Supply Chain Transition Program. Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan, who visited the plant on 19 August, said the funding would help Ace Wire Works identify and target new markets. “We are helping them... put themselves on a strong footing in the future.” For details on the Automotive Transition Plan visit business.vic.gov.au/asctp or call 132 215.
Six children aged between 12-15 years were arrested in an allegedly stolen car in Beaconsfield on Wednesday night 24 August. Police said the Hyundai vehicle was allegedly stolen during a burglary in Armadale about 1pm that day. Half an hour later, the car was spotted at a home burglary in Berwick in which video games were stolen. Police, with the help of the Air Wing, intercepted the car driven by a 15-year-old boy in Beaconsfield, about 8pm. The occupants were from Noble Park, Hallam, Keysborough and Patterson Lakes. Four boys and a girl have been remanded in custody facing burglary and theft charges. A 15-year-old boy was released on bail on a theft of motor vehicle charge.
Keeping The Bronx at bay Keen to ditch any comparisons to New York’s The Bronx, Casey Council will lobby to tow away stolen registered vehicles just a week after they’re dumped on roadsides and nature strips. Mayor Sam Aziz, who raised the proposal at a 16 August meeting, said under state law registered owners had at least 60 days to collect their misappropriated cars before the council could tow the vehicles away. It was a “ridiculous and unnecessary” waiting period to remove often unsightly burnt-out vehicles, he said. Cr Aziz said the council should be able to act sooner because it didn’t want its neighbourhoods to “look like The Bronx”. Under the push, the council will request Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins to amend the law so “registered but illegally parked” vehicles could be removed after seven days. Councillor Louise Berkelmans asked if an owner could get an extension if they had difficulties removing their cars within a week. A council officer replied that if an owner rang the council, “we will accommodate that if possible”.

Bystanders made a citizen’s arrest in Endeavour Hills following a terminated police pursuit and collision on Heatherton Road. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said officers tried to stop a Holden sedan about 10.15am on Wednesday 24 August and alleged that the driver failed to stop. They followed the car but ended the chase following a risk assessment. The car then allegedly collided with another vehicle on Heatherton Road and the driver ran from the scene. Members of the public followed the 23-year-old man and detained him until police arrived.

100 years ago 27 July 1916 A Glimpse of France Part Five Through Young Australia’s eyes Letter from Private H W Garlick: ... Now for a while we lose sight of the green hills and dash among the hammocks near the seashore. On our right is perhaps the most imposing spectacle of the whole journey, and that is what appears to be a Canadian hospital and rest camp. At the siding is standing a Red Cross train showing that we now are nearing the “hells gates” that we hope will soon be our privilege to help shatter. Alongside this there is a grave yard and in it hundreds of wooden crosses, painted white, which drive home all too forcibly the sad tale of what has been and which will nev-

Sister Webster reported new enrolments of 358, and the number of children attending as 5245. Sister Webster said her work, as always, had been rewarding and enjoyable.
20 years ago 2 September 1996 Estate on the cards Plans to build a housing estate for the elderly on the former site of the Noble Park English Language School are on the drawing board. Greater Dandenong Council has drawn up a plan for the site including a housing estate,
adult migrant education service, a child services complex and a senior citizens club. The council recently paid $600,000 for the 1.3 hectare site bounded by Noble, Buckley, and Frank streets. Earlier this year council tried unsuccessfully to do a land swap with Coles supermarket. Under the plans, Copas Park will be extended and restored as a central park. The existing council-owned preschool and infant welfare centre will be shifted onto the NPELS site, next to the childcare centre. The senior citizens behind Tuckerbag will also be shifted to the new site next to the housing estate.
5 years ago 29 August 2011 Baa secures a friend at court A Springvale animal activist has vowed to help Vu Ho fight the City of Greater Dande-
nong to keep his pet sheep Baa. Mr Ho, a Springvale mechanic, is suing the council in the Supreme Court after officers ordered him to remove his beloved sheep from his workshop. Under a council law, livestock cannot be kept on less than half a hectare. But animal activist Salome Argyropoulos said in a world where animal cruelty was rife, and livestock could be factory farmed in substandard conditions, it was refreshing to see a sheep so loved. “Baa is happy and this is what should matter,” she said. “If they separate these two, not only will Vu be depressed, but Baa is going to get depressed.” Ms Argyropoulos tried to offer Baa some apples and a pear, but the sheep turned up her nose until Mr Ho brought out his secret weapon - sweet chilli sauce. It is Baa’s favourite.
Councillor was colour of the city What’s In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city’s bestknown street names. This week the Journal looks at Springvale’s Ericksen Street, named after a man who touched every corner of the community. Andy Ericksen served the Springvale community for almost 50 years in a wide variety of voluntary ways. He was described as one of the city’s best known and colourful figures. Mr Ericksen was elected to Dandenong Council in August 1941 and was defeated by Councillor Gus Eichler in 1953. He regained his seat in August 1965 in Springvale and remained a councillor until his death. He was Shire President of Dandenong in 1952’53, president of the new Shire of Springvale in 1855-’56 and the first mayor of the new City of Springvale in 1961. He was also mayor in 1969’70.

moral Avenue, Springvale, on 27 March 1973. The 79-year-old had been to a Sandown Kindergarten Committee meeting with councillor Bob Luxford and seemed well and in high spirits when Cr Luxford drove him home. His wife Amelia Burden, daughter of former Dandenong Shire president Geo Burden, died eight years earlier. More than 300 mourners packed Springvale Methodist Church to pay tribute to Mr Ericksen on 30 March. They represented the council, the business world, the church, sporting organisations, the elderlies, the Masonic Lodge, justices of the peace, the police and widespread community organisations. Former Springvale councillor Dave Jeanes said he admired his friend’s dedication and interest in any jobs he undertook. “When I was first in council he was every ready to lend a helping hand and he was a wonderful advisor,” he said.

At one stage Mr Ericksen was a member and worker for more than 100 Springvale, Dandenong and district organisations. “He was unique,” close friend said Mr Lindsay Williams after Mr Ericksen’s death. “He was Springvale. No one could ever replace him. “He supported so many organisations for so many years. “In his youth he was a leading footballer playing with both Springvale and Port Melbourne clubs, and he was a member of the Springvale Masonic Lodge for more than 50 years.” Another former Springvale mayor and friend Roth Hetherington said Mr Ericksen sat on the bench at the Springvale Court for many years and retired at the compulsory age of 72. “There was no Springvale organisation you could name with which he wasn’t associated with directly or indirectly,” he said.

Aurora by Emma Anna.
City’s soul on the street An imposing wall in central Dandenong will become the area’s ‘art and soul’ under a new project. The community can have its say on a new public artwork being considered for the Walker Street car park’s Thomas Street-facing wall. It spans more than eight storeys and covers about 1000 square metres. It’s a visual backdrop for Harmony Square and can be seen from locations around Dandenong. A small group of community members developed a vision for the site during a series of workshops earlier this year. Following a national expressions of interest process, the council short-listed five Melbournebased artists to create detailed visual concepts. Emma Anna combines 305 hexagonal panels in interconnected clusters to represent the community’s diversity in her artwork Aurora. Ash Keating’s Walker Street Response uses paint layers to depict people leading individual lives in a shared space, side by side. It features a bold, bright palette. Blender Studios created billboard-style artwork The Dandenong Dream to illustrate the city’s welcoming soul and the stories behind the residents.
The concept of the Australian Dream inspired the artwork which uses images and icons to explore the Dandenong Dream. Juddy Roller’s Walker Street Mural would feature portraits of people identified through community engagement. Their eyes would symbolise their emotional, historic and community connection to place. Interconnections by Yandell Walton would combine a static painted design which is visible during the day and has an animated light projection at night. It would use dance and movement to explore the emotional, historic and community connections that people have to place. Residents will be part of the artwork through an invitation to be filmed using 3D camera technology. Greater Dandenong Mayor Heang Tak said the council asked the artists to capture the municipality’s welcoming soul. “We look forward to hearing what the community has to say about the options presented.” View the five concepts online from Thursday 25 August at www.greaterdandenong.com/walkerstreetartwork or in the Dandenong Library windows in Harmony Square from Thursday 1 September.

Medal for super spy role model By Cam Lucadou-Wells
Richard Jones with some 30 Assault Unit memorabilia 158152 “We had a job to do and we done it. I don’t like the fuss and bother.” As well as his own collection of medals, he souvenired and later sold off Nazi regalia such as elaborate daggers, a sword and helmet. Mr Jones is among the last standing in his old unit. He shows off a wealth of photos and news clippings from when he attended the unit’s final

The City of Berwick’s first female mayor, Janice Bateman, OAM, died on 24 August aged 81. Ms Bateman served on the council between 1971 and 1984. She stood for state Parliament twice unsuccessfully, first for the Australian Democrats in the Lower House seat of Dandenong in 1979. Her second tilt was for the Liberals in the Upper House seat of Eumemmerring in 1988. She told Star News in 2010 that she’d tried to “always act with honesty, integrity and compassion” in her previous 40 years of public life. She strived for women to step up to make the changes they wanted to see. “It is so important that as women we accept the right and responsibility to be a part of the decision-making process if we want our world to be a better place.” Ms Bateman was a former state and national president of the Australian Local Government
Women’s Association in 1975-78. In 1985 she received the Medal of the Order of Australia for services to the community and local government. She died at Lyrebird Village, Drouin. Her funeral will be held at St Andrews Uniting Church, Bunyip, on Wednesday 31 August at noon. A private cremation will follow.

One of the men who were the role-models for secret agent James Bond has received a medal for his bravery during the D-Day landings. Sprightly Welsh-born 92-year-old Aneurin (Richard) Jones recently received a French medal of recognition, the Legion D’Honneur, for being part of the key landing at Normandy in World War II. During the war the former long-time Springvale resident was part of the revered 30 Assault Unit - a British Royal Marines Commando unit formed to gather intelligence such as the sites of Nazi V1 rocket sites and Enigma code machines. The unit was the brainchild of Ian Fleming, then stationed in Whitehall, who later became famous as the author of the James Bond books. Although he never met Fleming, Mr Jones said his commander was known for speaking his mind and getting on the wrong side of his Whitehall superiors. Not to mention his womanising and hard drinking - though all of them drank pretty heavily, Mr Jones said. “When he wrote James Bond, he just rolled up the entire (30 Assault) unit into one man and called him James Bond. “I never read his books but I enjoyed the movies.” The unit’s missions have also been the subject of countless books and several movies such as Age of Heroes and Operation Crossbow. Mr Jones, who was conscripted into the war as an 18-year-old, recounts his missions in France with relish, humour and clarity. There were plenty of times when he was scared for his life, such as when he drove next to a threetonne truck that triggered an unexploded shell on the ground. “How did we survive? That truck just took the lot.” Miraculously, one of the truck’s four occupants was recovered alive and delivered on a make-shift stretcher to a US medical station. He, though, never attends Anzac Day or Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Red light rider ‘couldn’t ride’ By Cam Lucadou-Wells An unlicensed, drug-affected man who rode a stolen motorcycle through red lights during a police pursuit through Casey has told a magistrate he “couldn’t really ride a motorbike”. Rory Chris Sansom, 24, who had also never been licensed to drive a car, was also charged with driving a stolen vehicle in Cranbourne and stealing a car in Pakenham, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard on 22 August. Sansom, who was on two community corrections orders at the time, had been spotted by police on the red Kawasaki motorcycle without a rear number plate on Shrives Road, Narre Warren, just after midnight on 1 June. Police followed with their lights and siren on and saw Sansom look behind twice during the pursuit. They saw Sansom cross a dividing line and enter a roundabout on the wrong side on Webb Street. Though keeping under the speed limit, he then rode through a red light turning east on Princes Highway, and another at Narre WarrenCranbourne Road. Police had called off the pursuit because of the danger but caught up with Sansom trying to jump-start the motorbike on the side of Princes Highway soon after. Observed to be “agitated and with dilated pupils and a dry mouth”, Sansom was arrested but refused a drug test at Narre Warren police station. Sansom told police he had been “trying to do the right thing” by riding the motorbike home for his friend who the accused claimed owned the bike. He wouldn’t identify the friend to police, the court was told. The accused was also charged with driving a stolen Holden sedan in Rouse Street and Hoddle Court, Cranbourne, on 14 May.
Sansom produced a receipt to prove he bought the sedan for $800 from a named person. Police observed that person was not the owner of the car and that the vehicle’s ignition barrel was broken. During a search of the car, police seized two 30-centimetre knives in reaching distance of the driver - which he later claimed were for self-protection. Sansom had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiance disorder since being a young child, a defence lawyer told the court. The accused had also abused prescription drugs, ice and GHB, the court was told. “He is someone who needs a more hands-on approach than a corrections order can offer him. “The most concerning matter... is probably that he was affected by a drug at the time.” Sansom had served 38 days in remand custody including 22-23 hour lockdowns at Port Phillip Prison due to his alleged involvement in the riots at Melbourne Remand Centre last year. As a result, his mental health had “deteriorated”. He’d been admitted for six days in a mental health ward, his lawyer said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Sansom had put himself at great risk during the motorcycle escapade. Sansom replied: “I don’t even know how to ride a motorbike.” Mr Vandersteen said the behavioural issues coupled with drug use put Sansom at further risk of offending. Many offenders charged with evading police had ADHD, the magistrate noted. “They don’t slow down and think of the consequences until it’s too late.” Sansom was jailed for 14 months, with a fivemonth non-parole period, as well as disqualified from driving for a year.

Laptops to mine wayward talents By Cam Lucadou-Wells Afri-Aus Care’s efforts to straighten young offenders has been backed by Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams and Wooranna Park Primary School students. The volunteer agency helps wayward African youth in Casey and Greater Dandenong to reconnect with their families, studies and work. Ms Williams had contacted Wooranna Park, which donated two retired laptops on 20 August. The computers were refurbished and installed with extra software such as Minecraft by some of its tech-minded students. The laptops will be used by young people to help with homework under the tutelage of an Afri-Aus Care PhD volunteer. That was the path of skills, training, employment and a “more constructive life”, Ms Williams said. “Afri-Aus Care is an important local organisation committed to providing support and assistance to vulnerable young people in and around Dandenong.
“It is pleasing to be able to connect like-minded organisations to work together for the benefit of the Dandenong community.” Wooranna Park principal Ray Trotter said the school was happy to help because “that’s what we’re in the business for”. Afri-Aus Care plans to launch music and organic gardening activities to engage young people. It also offers intensive case management, referrals to legal aid, mental health and drug-andalcohol services and employment support. It operates without government funding and requires sponsorship. Afri-Aus Care director Selba Luka said her concern is the difficulty her proteges face in getting work. There are some she knows who have studied and yet can’t rise above factory work. “You focus on what that kid wants to do. Once they’re confident, they find that next step in their education through alternative education pathways. “Give them adequate supports to do something and make Australia a better place.”

Community feedback is invited until 20 September.
Casey council will investigate whether to fund a pergola-like shelter to help protect birds at Doveton’s pigeon club. At a 16 August meeting councillor Wayne Smith requested a council report into the cost of the proposal at Dandenong Racing Pigeon Club at Power Reserve. The club requires an outdoor cover to safely load pigeons from the clubhouse into transportation without them being buffeted by wind and rain. Cr Smith said trucks couldn’t park close enough to the building to protect the birds from the elements. “It’s not good for the birds or the people.” As earlier reported by Star News, Cr Smith re-
cently visited the club - which he later described as the “world’s best secret” and a “hive of activity”. He told the council that the club had a “fantastic facility that the council has hardly contributed to apart from the land”. The 47-year-old club has 32 committed members. One of them is stalwart Joe Phillips who donated a truck and bird baskets worth about $300,000 to give back to the sport he’s enjoyed for 52 years. The truck is used to carry 1000-plus birds off to races in which they fly hundreds of kilometres to return miraculously and unerringly home - unless addled by bad electrical storms. The council is expected to receive the report by mid-September.
All set for public square launch party fee and kids face painting. Residents will be able to give feedback on their “ideas, priorities and hopes” for Casey’s future. The celebration is between 10am-noon on 10 September at 10 Raymond McMahon Boulevard, Endeavour Hills.

It’s none of our business but… “That’s my dad.” Eyes sparkling with excitement, the young boy couldn’t contain his pride as his father Jasbir Singh Suropada from the Sikh community delivered a prayer to open the Greater Dandenong Council meeting on Monday 22 August. The child was at his heels as Jasbir walked to the microphone and slipped off his shoes to mimic his father. He grinned broadly as he made eye contact with the Journal’s reporter and apparently couldn’t resist the whispered boast.

“I remember Springy Rock, as we used to call it as young people,” councillor John Kelly said wistfully at the Greater Dandenong Council meeting on Monday 22 August. “It was certainly a great venue for young people to go to and have a dance.” Two motions giving the green light to a Springvale civic precinct and town hall revamp sparked a trip down memory lane. Cr Angela Long said she grew up in Springvale and performed in The Mikado at the hall during her time at Springvale High School. Mayor Heang Tak said he became an Australian citizen at the hall and Cr Roz Blades also had a tale to share. “While we’re going down memory lane, I recall my husband singing Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog at the Battle of the Bands at Springvale Town Hall,” she said. A man received a good-behaviour bond after revealing a litany of woe during a family-violence case at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. The 23-year-old had his right hand amputated and left arm incapacitated after receiving an electric shock while a youth gang chased him at a railway station in 2014. He told the court his mother ceased being his carer when he received a $200,000 payout for his injuries. She took the money and ran up to Lake Eildon to buy a house, he told the court. The man had been charged over bashing down a bedroom door at his sister’s Dandenong home.
“I just want to check my belongings so my older sister can’t steal any more from me.” The man, who doesn’t receive an income or pension, was ordered to seek help from Salvo Care as part of his bond without conviction. Dandenong’s St John Ambulance hall will receive an $8000 facelift. A $7978 grant from the Federal Government Stronger Communities program will fund a repaint for the Attenborough Street building. South East Community Links will receive $15,261 to upgrade its telephones and computers under the same program. SECL formed late last year when Springvale Community Aid and Advice Bureau (SCAAB), Dandenong Community Advisory Bureau (DCAB) and Southern Ethnic Advisory and Advocacy Council (SEAAC) joined forces. SECL offers support for refugees and newly arrived migrants, employment services, a child support program, counselling services, emergency relief, financial counselling and more. Two Greater Dandenong students dressed as rock stars in op shop outfits for a Melbourne Spring Fashion Week runway show. Jodean Pereira from Dandenong North and Tu (Nevie) Trinh Tran from Springvale South are both studying a diploma of applied fashion design and technology at the Kangan Institute. They presented outfits made from unsaleable Red Cross shop donations in the Ecothreads event at Cherry Bar in AC/DC Lane on Saturday 24 August. All-girl Melbourne rock band Stonefield performed live wearing upcycled outfits which were designed using 3D body scanning technology. It was Nevie’s first time seeing her work on the runway. Jodean’s passion for fashion started in high school textiles.

Rainbow colours were worn proudly on sleeves, shirts and faces at Berwick College on 25 August. About 230 students coated their white T-shirts with a spectrum of cornflour-based paints during a “colour run and walk” at their inaugural LGBTIQ-awareness event. At the Colour Your Perception day, the students were inspired by guest MC Jason Ball, a Greens candidate in the recent federal election. Touted as the first openly-gay Aussie Rules footballer, Mr Ball spoke and posed for selfies during the celebration. Student leadership co-ordinator Brodie Anderson said the aim was to encourage students to support each other in “being proud of who they are as individuals”. The colour run around the school’s perimeter included “fun and engaging” challenges. It culminated with dance, music and fanfare.

The Voices of Casey massed choir perform as part of Street Requiem.
Sad street song An audience of more than 200 people was moved by the soaring voices of massed choirs during a performance of Street Requiem at the Cranbourne Community Theatre on Saturday 20 August. Street Requiem was composed by Kathleen McGuire, Andy Payne and Jonathon Welch as a tribute to those who have died on the street. Mr Welch said he conceived Street Requiem to bring a sense of peace, remembrance and hope to communities struggling to come to terms with street violence, war and loss of community safety. Berwick-based Voices of Casey was the host choir and sang I Dreamed a Dream from Le Miserables. Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister choir the Latrobe Valley Community Choir then sang an arrangement of Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Both choirs were then joined by a massed choir featuring members of Western Health and THE CHO!R to sing the remaining songs in the first half of the concert.
All four choirs are associated with the School of Hard Knocks. Voices of Casey manager Paulien George said Street Requiem was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge successâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the members of the audience commented that they were so pleased to see a concert of this calibre come to Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south east and be performed during the daytime and over a weekend, Ms George said. Voices of Casey has 50 members and practices under the musical direction of Jonathon Welch each Monday at Fiddlers Green Retirement Village in Berwick. In 2007 Mr Welchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work creating choirs for the homeless and disadvantaged in Australia was the subject of the internationally acclaimed documentary Choir of Hard Knocks. He was awarded Australian of the Year Local Hero in 2008. Anyone interested in joining at choir can contact Paulien on 9769 8611 or email maritimes.1@ hotmail.com.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Pumped up for the Pope By Casey Neill An event doesn’t get much bigger than a visit from the Pope. Keysborough’s No Fuss Event Hire was under the pump to cover Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse with 40 acres of plastic flooring to accommodate the pontiff and his worshippers. They had four days. “We ran it like a military team. We finished with 12 hours to spare,” the business’s Tom O’Dowd said. The one thing that tripped them up? “It was in July. The only thing we didn’t have was sunscreen,” Mr O’Dowd said. No Fuss was among three nominees presented at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Business Awards breakfast at Greyhounds Entertainment in Springvale on Wednesday 24 August. Biofuel Innovations and Greencare Developments, both in Dandenong South, were also announced as contenders for the awards, to be presented later this year. No Fuss owner Geoff Tucker was in catering when he identified opportunities in temporary flooring. Twenty years on, the business also offers seating and marquee services, employs 36 full-time staff and has a 1000-strong client base that includes Etihad Stadium, the MCG, Country Racing Victoria and the Melbourne Grand Prix. It will also be involved in the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Biofuel Innovations transforms cooking oil from restaurants, takeaway shops and food manufacturers into biodiesel, which can be used in place of petroleum diesel. Business owners Dale Barnett and Dr Rebecca Yee met while studying chemical engineering at university and started operations in April last year.
Student set for graphic impact By Casey Neill
Business award nominees Dr Rebecca Yee and Dale Barnett from Biofuel Innovations, Bill Daft and Ian Chaney from Greencare Developments, and Rebecca Williamson and Tom O’Dowd from No Fuss Event Hire. “We’ve just finished construction and we’re about midway through commission of our current site,” Mr Barnett said. “We’re trying to tie down sales contracts with businesses that have expressed an interest in our product earlier on.” The plant can produce about 30,000 litres of biofuel per month and expansions are planned. The business has provided practical experience to seven university students and Dr Yee is involved in the CSIRO’s Scientists in Schools program, which aims to inspire primary school children. Greencare Developments is a 26-year partnership between Bill Daft, Iain Chaney, Andrew
Chaney and Graham Smith. They originally had a licence to manufacture sunscreen and developed the first sprayable sunscreen. They sold that arm in 2004 and developed Orange Power and other products that were “genuinely natural, not just claiming to be natural”. Greencare employs 45 people, 20 who’ve stared in the past 18 months and is looking to expand into export. “Particularly into China, as probably everyone is,” Mr Chaney said. “It’s a difficult market to get into but we’re hopeful.”
Chisholm student Brooke Fernandez is determined to make a difference, and has already left a lasting impact on her teacher. The Endeavour Hills 20-year-old was the Youth Enterprise Award nominee at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Business Awards breakfast at Greyhounds Entertainment, Springvale, on Wednesday 24 August. Teacher Robin Griffiths revealed that graphic design and screen media student Brooke had a hearing impairment. “She told me at the end of the first class she needs to look me in the face because she lip reads,” he said. But he’s prone to wandering as he speaks so Brooke stood up and followed him. “She really made a difference to me in the way I treat students and being mindful of others,” he said. “I have no doubt Brooke will make a difference in her career no matter what path she takes. “Brooke’s going to be one of those people that’s going to be able to engage an audience and communicate a message.” Brooke told the breakfast that she had completed a short course in interior design and would apply to study a bachelor of design next year. “I like my work to send a message to an audience,” she said. Her projects have covered social issues such as body image. “Through my work I aim to promote social acceptance,” she said. “I want to create works that make a difference.”
Fishing is the lure which has taken businessman around the world By Casey Neill Fishing has taken Paul Worsteling around the world. “Fishing is not about fish,” he told the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Business Awards breakfast on Wednesday 24 August. “Fishing is about place and faces.” He’s seen baby bears in Alaska, a blue whale in Portland, Victoria, and killer wales with their babies off Exmouth, Western Australia. In Papua New Guinea Mr Worsteling visited a village where the children had never seen a white person. “I lifted up my top and showed them my belly,” he said. “They started crying and ran into the jungle.” He even met his wife, Cristy, through the hobby that he’s grown into a career spanning radio, television,
books and two tackle shops. Mr Worsteling grew up on a farm in Cranbourne and found his love for fishing when his dad put 500 fish into a dam. “I went down there with a fishing pole because I just wanted to see what was under that water,” he said. “I couldn’t physically see the fish unless I actually caught them. “I became a fishing text book guru.” He caught his first fish on a school camp, made friends with a neighbour with a boat, and joined Cranbourne Angling Club. There he met a guy with plans to open a tackle shop and volunteered to help him set up. Mr Worsteling bought the business on 9 September 1996, aged 22. To build its profile he wrote articles for fishing magazines, gave fishing re-
ports on radio and offered fishing guru Rex Hunt advice. In 2000 Mr Worsteling organised a fish trip for Rex’s Fishing Adventures television program. It was the start of a four-year stint on the show. “It definitely brought people into my business,” he said. The show came to an end and Mr Worsteling got the opportunity to make his own, IFISH. He films 30 half-hour and 10 hourlong episodes each year and spends up to 40 weeks a year filming around the world. “It has done what I hoped it would do for my business,” he said. His top business advice was “always strike while the iron is hot”. “Don’t do tomorrow what you can do today,” he said. He said word of mouth couldn’t be beaten and good staff was any compa-

Threads bind community culture By Casey Neill More than 1000 people helped craft, culture and community to shine in Greater Dandenong throughout August. Cultural Threads linked about 25 artists with community members to forge connections, trade skills, share stories and interweave cultures. Together they produced nine intricate and colourful installations that have adorned the municipality over the past month. Artist Emma Anna created a giant Community Peace Quilt with help from school children and other residents. It’s on display at Dandenong Library and will remain in place until the International Day of Peace, sometimes unofficially known as World Peace Day, which is observed annually on 21 September. Emma used pieces of the dresses, shirts and skirts she discarded when she moved to tropical Colombia from Melbourne five years ago. She helped people to create hexagonal, flower-shaped pieces during sewing workshops and joined them together to create the quilt. Emma said the quilt was a collection of personal narratives. The City of Greater Dandenong hosted Cultural Threads, which was a key satellite event of Craft Victoria’s Craft Cubed Festival and was previously held in 2014. Across the project, workshop participants included Burmese and Tamil women’s groups, Noble Park Country Women’s Association, Greater Dandenong Social Knitwork, the Springvale Heights, Springvale Rise, Yarraman Oaks, St Anthony’s and Dandenong primary schools, The Open Door, Dandenong Market, and South East Community Links. Some of Victoria’s most celebrated artists, including Adrienne Kneebone, Chili Philly and Rachel Wood, led textile workshops in weaving, crocheting, cross stitch, sewing and macrame. Community members and artists attended a launch for Cultural Threads at Dandenong’s Heritage Hill Museum and Historical Gardens on Thursday 28 July.
Artist Emma Anna pieces together the Community Peace Quilt. 157931 Cultural Threads also included four-textile themed exhibitions, one by master craftsman tapestry weaver Tim Gresham. The Journal caught up with several Cultural Threads artists. Sayra Lothian said that her project, Greater Dandenong Patterns, emerged from strolling around suburbia. She captured tiny aspects of architecture in embroidery and left the framed fragments on streets for people to find and take home. Community installation artists Margaret Sum-
merton and Robina Summers joined forces to bring the Tree of Life into being. The white tree was bursting with flowers and butterflies and a growing collection of wishes from Harmony Square visitors. Olinda artist Anzara Clarke produced Making Culture with about seven teenage girls at South East Community Links in Springvale. Their colourful paper clothing explored culture in at Dandenong Library. “It might be their own personal culture, in terms of their history and tradition, or it might be

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS music culture, it might be youth culture,” Anzara said. Artist Kristin McFarlane’s Here and Now brought together about 100 separate glass etchings in a large installation at the Drum Theatre. The glass panels reflected cultures from around the world. With community help Thea Jones created embroidery that hung between Heritage Hill’s fig trees, titled All Her Thoughts Are So Tactile. It related to Laurel Lodge’s history as a girls’ school.

SPORT Stingrays' black and white talent By Russell Bennett and David Nagel IT’S the way former Dandenong Stingrays gun defender Brandon White was told he’d make his AFL debut for St Kilda on the weekend that spoke volumes about both his progression as a young player and the Saints’ march forward under Alan Richardson. “Mate, we like the way you’re going. Your last six weeks at VFL level have been really positive so you’re going to play this week (in the AFL),” Richardson said in a heart-to-heart in his office with White, captured by St Kilda video cameras. “I reckon when it’s the last game of the year it can come across as ‘we’re just going to give a young bloke a go’ but no, we’re not doing that. “You’ve got to earn the right to play - you don’t just get a game because you’re talented or because that’s the journey you’re on. “You’ve got to play the way we want you to play, and that’s what I’ve liked. “I haven’t seen every game in that six-week period live but what I’ve liked when I’ve been there, mate, is how physical you’ve been and how hard you’re able to play on and you’re starting to give us a bit more of that drive. “Enjoy it, and just get out there and play Saints footy.” The Journal was there, at the White family home in Berwick last November, when Brandon’s name was read out with pick 40 at the National Draft - held in Adelaide. “I’m excited to be going down there (to the Saints) and earning my respect from the team mates, (and) coaching staff and all the hard work is ahead, really,” he said at the time. White’s VFL form in the weeks building up to his selection in the Saints’ side was impressive, booting bags of five and four goals and another
Brandon White and Dandenong Stingrays team mate Bailey Rice were both selected by the Saints at last November s National Draft. White was picked to debut for St Kilda on the weekend. 147549 Picture: JARROD POTTER two of two each while also being named in the best four times. His former club, Dandenong, will launch its bid for a maiden TAC Cup premiership from top
spot on the ladder when it takes on Murray Bushrangers in Sunday’s qualifying final at IKON Park. For just the third time in the 25-year history of the club the Stingrays have finished at the top of
the TAC Cup ladder, joining the minor premiership teams of 1997 and 2010. Ironically, it was current-day coach Craig Black that was co-captain of the 1997 outfit that fell agonisingly short on grand final day. Black believes this current crop of stars is building the necessary belief to go all the way after winning seven games during the home-and-away season by 15 points or less. “They don’t like getting beaten, and that’s a very good trait to have in the TAC Cup because all the players have talent. It’s the little things that make the difference,” Black said. “Obviously a little bit of fortune plays a part but if you start winning a few by under a kick it can build massive belief within a group. Hopefully this group can go one step further than we did in 1997.” The Rays defeated fifth-placed Sandringham, fourth-placed Murray and second-placed Geelong in three of their last four matches. “Obviously we’re happy with our season and where we finished, but the best thing is we’ve earned that position by beating good opposition in finals-like matches,” Black said. The Stingrays’ success has been built around a solid core of players with Daniel Allsop, Lachie Gill-Renouf, Matt LaFontaine and Bailey Morrish all having consistent seasons. Sam Fowler leads the goal-kicking charts with 33 goals, with Allsop (28), Tom De Koning (17) and x-factor Josh Battle (16 from six games) set to provide the Bushrangers defence with plenty of headaches on the weekend. Mason DeWit and Hunter Clark have been in top form of late and will be players to keep an eye on. The Stingrays-Bushrangers clash begins at 2pm.

Drive is success formula Thomas Randle took the rookie honours at the Zandvoort Masters of Formula 3 the weekend before last as he competed in FIA European F3 machinery for the first time. Randle, from Narre Warren North, was one of four drivers who have competed in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship this year to race in the prestigious Masters event at the Dutch circuit. “It was really good. It was a steep learning curve and a bit of an eye-opener but we had no big expectations going into the weekend,” said Randle who competed for Double R Racing. “The competition was through the roof and you are up against some of the best drivers in Europe so it is a big challenge. “By the end of the weekend we had stepped up though and to finish as the top rookie was awesome.” Randle was joined by Carlin racers Colton Herta and Ameya Vaidyanathan while Harrison Scott, who has competed in BRDC British F3 with HHC Motorsport, received a late call-up to replace British F3 race-winner Nikita Mazepin, who was ill, at Hitech GP. The result was all the more impressive given that Randle hadn’t tested prior to the event, his only experience in an FIA European F3 car before that coming back in 2015. “We didn’t have any testing and Double R hadn’t raced the car since Macau last year. “All the other teams had been to Zandvoort before and heading into qualifying we had only done 20 laps,” the 20-year-old said. Randle finished the second race of the weekend in 11th, one place ahead of Scott with Herta and Vaidyanathan 13th and 15th respectively. The final round of the 2016 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship takes place at Donington Park on 10-11 September.

Sole Stingray in the Top 25
One of greyhound racing’s newest and most exciting concepts, Speed Star, will be run this Thursday night at Sandown Park. Eight of the country’s fastest sprinters will go head-to-head in four match races - as pure as racing gets. The four matches will be conducted in rapid succession with gaps of approximately 10 minutes between matches. Qualification for the series was based on times run at Sandown Park between 1 June 2016 and 28 August 2016 including a series of trials on the three Sundays leading in, with the eight fastest nominated greyhounds qualifying for the series. Each greyhound wearing an odd numbered rug will jump from the inside box (box 1), and each wearing an even numbered box will jump from the outside box (box 3). The series carries $61,000 in prize money, with the winner of each match picking up $10,000, with a further $15,000 bonus for the fastest time and $6000 for second. Headlining the event is without doubt Aus-
Australia's best sprinter Zambora Brockie will be the headline act when Speed Star hits Sandown on Thursday night. tralia’s best sprinter Zambora Brockie, fresh from Saturday’s National Sprint final in Adelaide. He enters the series as the number one ranked greyhound with a scintillating time of 29.140 and is almost certain to start series favourite.
His record speaks for itself, a multiple Group 1 winner and has put forward some outstanding performances all over the country - a Speed Star victory would put the polish on what is an already stellar resume. The second fastest qualifier, Dundee Osprey, exploded his way to the top of the time sheets after a brilliant 29.237 trial last Sunday. The Pakenham South trained greyhound is no stranger to the concept having run in May’s Bill Collins Speed Star. All matches will be shown live on Sky Racing and for detailed commentary and a behind-thescenes look be sure to follow Sandown Park’s social media channels. The night also kicks off one of Sandown Park’s most popular promotions, Money Back Month. Every Thursday throughout September a punters’ club will be run by some of the finest judges in Australian greyhound racing. In the result of a loss, everyone who invested will get their money back - 100 per cent guaranteed.

MOTORING Mean Mercedes is on the move By Ewan Kennedy
Low and mean, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S sedan is just the thing for the family driver in a hurry. The engine shrieks under full-throttle acceleration, spits on fast downchange and burbles in a satisfying way even when driving at low speeds in normal day-to-day driving. The brakes haul off speed hard and during our road driving we never came even remotely close to their limits.
Comfort is compromised at times, even when using the softer settings on offer. Rough roads can knock the C 63 S a bit off course at times, though it recovers quickly. This is a sports machine and the compromises will lean in the right direction for most owners. The new generation Mercedes-AMG C 63 S
sedan is a superb sports machine that looks stunning, sounds great and is a real driver’s car. Combine that with the ability to cart the family around by way of four doors and a reasonable back seat and it’s well worth adding to your short list of performance street sedans.

AUSTRALIANS make no bones about the fact that they love to drive, and if their budgets are up to it many will go for the high-performance models in any range. We have just spent a very enjoyable week in a Mercedes-AMG C 63 S sedan. It has Nappa leather upholstery, heated front seats, digital TV and a panoramic glass sliding sunroof. The central tablet-type infotainment screen is large and easy to use. It gives access to the Mercedes Comand system and the quality of sound from the audio system is impressive. DAB+ radio can be a bit hit and miss but when you do get a full signal it’s well worth it. Active safety features on a car like this mean it will do everything it can to save you from your own mistakes. Passive safety items include a full suite of items including nine airbags. The front sports seats support very well without being overly aggressive in their bolsters to the extent getting in and out is difficult. The rear seats are neatly trimmed in the same sporting manner as the front units. Rear headroom may prove marginal for tall passengers due to the sunroof. Legroom in the back isn’t too bad, but some compromising will be necessary at times. The AMG C 63 S has Ride-Control sports suspension, active dynamic engine mounts, electronic rear axle locking differential and a performance exhaust system. The sound and fury in the super-sports sedan is lovely when you have a chance to drive it hard in safe conditions.
