■ Casey council wants to force teens into the Army...

Salute to service By Victoria Stone-Meadows The City of Casey is calling on the Federan Government to introduce compulsory national service for all 18-year-old Australians. Councillor Rex Flannery raised the notice of motion at a Casey council meeting on Tuesday 18 July, after returning from a trip to Israel in June. He said speaking to young people in Israel, where citizens are automatically drafted into the military for three years at the age of 18, inspired him. “I thought I would put it up and open the topic for discussion,” he said. “I think we’re losing the war on crime as Melbourne is the number one crime city in Australia and we face things like alcohol abuse, one-punch attacks, stabbings, and murders. “Everyday someone is getting shot, domestic violence, and drug abuse, depression in kids and youth suicide, just so many things. “The government is ploughing so much money into all these areas but we are not getting any results, as far as I am concerned.” He said he doesn’t want to ship young people off overseas, but thinks a stint in the defence forces would help a lot of young people stay away from crime. Cr Flannery also claimed that serving in the military in Afghanistan would be safer for a lot of young people than being in Melbourne. “When you really think about it, the number of soldiers in Afghanistan that have been killed, it is safer to go over and serve in the Australian Army in Afghanistan than it is to walk the streets of Australia,” he said. Cr Flannery admits that he has never served in any branch of the Australian Defence Force but said he wouldn’t hesitate to sign up to prove his point. “I didn’t get to do national service when I was younger and I have been employed all my life but if I have to go to prove a point and to lead by example I would definitely go,” he said. Other councillors speaking in support of the motion at the meeting including conservative councillors Rosalie Crestani and Amanda Stapledon. Cr Crestani spoke about how she had some conflicting feelings regarding the motion, despite helping Cr Flannery compose it. “When I got home my heart sank because I am a mother and if we helped get this off the ground my almost 14-year-old son would soon be eligible for this,” she said. “The conflict between mother and community leader is sometime at odds but it is really reassuring to think we can give this opportunity to young people.

OPEN MORNING

Casey councillors Amanda Stapledon, Rex Flannery and Rosalie Crestani want to see national service introduced for all 18-year-old Australians. 170716 Picture: VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS “I whole-heartedly support this and I think it’s for the best of the nation to strengthen us and our community.” However, River Gum Ward councillor Wayne Smith was absent from the vote and said is he was there, he would have stood firmly against the idea. “I read it in the agenda before I had to leave the meeting early and had no thought it would get anywhere; I though it surely was not going to get up,” he said. Cr Smith said he was absolutely shocked when he found out after the meeting that the motion had passed. “At the end of the meeting I asked how the motion went and when the other councillors said it passed unanimously I thought they were joking,” he said. Cr Smith said Casey council has no business meddling in policy areas it has no control over. “The average everyday citizen in Casey wants us looking at issues that affect them and their quality of life in Casey,” he said.

“Every person in Casey will have their views on conscription but council doesn’t need to have that opinion on their behalf. “This is not a council issue on the basis that we as elected representatives of our wards, we don’t know what the opinion of our constituents are because there has been no debate about this in recent years.” Cr Smith said if he were in the council chambers when the motion was raised, he would not be able to support it as a matter of conscience. “Personally I don’t agree with it and feel we are not in a situation to warrant it,” he said. “I understand in the past we did with national security issues and when we were in dire need because of the war, but forcing people to go to war is something that doesn’t sit with me; you want people there who want to be there.” The City of Casey will write to Federal Holt MP Anthony Byrne, La Trobe MP Jason Wood, Flinders MP Greg Hunt and Defence Minister Marise Payne.

Holt MP Anthony Byrne said he was open to considering the council’s ideas in attempting to curb youth crime. “I will consider all the available options on how we can reduce youth crime in the area,” he said. “As Deputy Chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee, I have been actively working with the security and law enforcement agencies to keep Australia and the community safe.” “I will continue working with my Parliamentary colleagues to discuss all options for keeping the community safe from any potential threats, particularly addressing the rise of youth crime rates in the electorate of Holt.” The council will send letters to call on these members of Federal Parliament to consider introducing compulsory national service to all Australian citizens and permanent residents when they reach 18 years of age.

Simple choices help to reclaim life of addiction By Casey Neill

James O'Keefe at the Youth YOU Program. “I walk three kilometres to the train station, then I take an hour train to work,” he said. “I work my 10-hour shift and then I come to the gym and I do mentoring class on Tuesday and I do the same thing on a Saturday. “I’ve lived my whole live with my bank account overdrawn. “Now I have savings, now I have nice clothes. I can eat out, I can do those things now. “When you’re on drugs you don’t do that, you can’t do it.” Seeing results in the gym has kept James motivated. “I’ve put on 10 kilograms in four months,” he said. “That was a one-year goal for me.” His top piece of advice to others struggling with addiction was to start their day with a good choice.

“It doesn’t have to be major - just a glass of water,” he said. “That good choice will snowball into more good choices. “Seek out help, don’t stop trying to get clean.” Glenn has been touring Australia to promote his book and will reach Dandenong on 14 September. He said the audiences included families who didn’t know how to help a loved one, drug addicts seeking help, and kids “to show them the realness of what’s going on in their society, and educate them about drugs”. “A lot of people talk about the problem,” he said. “It’s more showing people the solution - giving people hope, inspiration and showing them that that label doesn’t define the rest of their future.”

Film recalls veterans’ memories to mark end of WWI By Casey Neill A new project to preserve Australia’s military history will largely be filmed in Dandenong. Dandenong RSL president John Wells has thrown his support behind The Anzac 100 and opened the sub-branch’s doors to filmmaker Val Athanassiou. Mr Athanassiou plans to interview 100 veterans from various conflicts about their achievements on and off the battlefield in the lead-up to next year’s 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. The result will be available to the community free of charge. Mr Wells said it was critically important that the RSL preserves the past, but with a view to the future. “What he’s doing is preserving important chunks of our past and our present in a way that will make it available for the future,” he said. He will appear in the trailer Mr Athanassiou is preparing to promote the project. Mr Wells said veterans from various time periods had a lot in common, including “that feeling of intense-gut-wrenching fear”. “Once you feel it you never forget it,” he said. He hopes people who see the finished product will realise “that veterans are ordinary people like everybody else”. 12358718-HM30-17

Filmmaker Val Athanassiou at Dandenong RSL. “They’re part of a long Australian tradition of putting your hand up when there’s a need,” he said. Mr Athanassiou wanted to reflect his passion for military history through film and his filmmaker friend Marcus Cloherty “had a very similar love for the military and for the history, but his point of view was more along the lines of wanting to talk to veterans about their experiences”.

“I moved here from New South Wales about 14 months ago,” he said. “I happened across an op shop one day, in Boronia. A veterans’ op shop.” He spoke to store manager and Australian Peacekeeper and Peacemaker Veterans’ Association (APPVA) vice president Michael Quinn about his idea. “We wish to educate and inform the next generation of enlisters, women and men, on the challenges they may face, to be captured on film for the ages,” he said. Mr Quinn quickly jumped on board and put Mr Athanassiou in touch with Mr Wells and Dandenong RSL manager Greg Betros. “In the last couple of months the support that’s come out of the woodwork is just astonishing,” Mr Athanassiou said. He’ll film a concept video to help with funding applications in the next month. “We’ve got the venue, we’ve got the cinematographer, we’ve got four of the possibly eight candidates confirmed, and we have a very gracious donation from Dandenong RSL to help us fund that,” he said. “We’re going to continue pursuing funding.” He’ll film the interviews proper over the rest of the year with help from Films4Change. “We can’t rush this,” he said. “We’re only going to get one shot at it and we have to get it right.”

Hunt after stolen cards used Police are searching for a man who allegedly used a stolen credit card in Hallam. Endeavour Hills police said the man used the card at a service station on Tuesday 20 June. They released an image from the scene in the hope someone might recognise him. Call Endeavour Hills Police Station on 9709 7666 with any information.

Charges over rubbish dump Police have charged a Doveton man with dumping a tip truck load of rubbish in Menzies Creek. Emerald police allege the 32-year-old hired the vehicle to take the building site rubble to the tip but instead dropped it at Bobs Park, Aura Vale Lake. They fined him for littering and he was responsible for clean-up and tip fees. Police urged anyone with information about litter dumping to call the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) hotline on 1300 372 842.

Second bite tastes good A supermarket chain is joining a drive for a charity that redistributes its surplus fresh food. Coles supermarkets in Hallam, Berwick, Berwick Central, Fountain Gate and Endeavour Hills have donated nearly 100,000 kilograms of food to SecondBite in the past 12 months. SecondBite has supplied that food to charities such as Berwick Church of Christ’s crisis food pantry program. In a new appeal, Coles customers can buy $2 donation cards for SecondBite. Each card contributes to the equivalent of eight healthy meals, according to the charity. SecondBite chief executive Jim Mullan said more funding was required to pay for operational costs such as fuel, transport and refrigeration. “By donating to SecondBite, people can help us to reach more people experiencing hard-

Casey council is set to establish and chair a homelessness network for the Casey Cardinia region. The move follows a meeting in June with representatives from WAYSS, the Cranbourne Salvation Army, the Southern Homelessness Services Network, ERMHA, The Andrews Centre and Rotary Club of Cranbourne. The council is also set to host a housing summit with the Victorian Minister for Housing Martin Foley. Casey councillor Geoff Ablett, along with Cr Milla Gilic, is the driver behind this plan and he said the meeting made it clear that the available service to people in region was scattered. “The great thing we discovered is there are people that have been doing these things, but have never actually met each other,” he said. Cr Ablett said the aim was to bring Casey service providers together to better manage all the factors that could lead to vulnerable housing situations. “We aim to... hopefully, find the best model for homelessness and help each other,” he said. “In theory this will then springboard into a commitment for a permanent solution for homelessness and vulnerable people in the Casey Cardinia region.”

“Never accept it as your life.” This was reformed ice user James O’Keefe’s advice to young people struggling with drug addiction. The Warragul 28-year-old turned to Hallam’s Youth YOU Program four months ago to get clean. When he was 21, he weighed 55 kilograms and was high four or five days a week. He’d get paid on Thursdays. “I was broke on Friday and my account was overdrawn on Saturday,” he said. James gave up drugs, but then split with his partner of five years and fell back into old habits. “I knew that what I was doing was no good for me,” he said. An old school friend had completed the Youth YOU Program, developed by former drug addict Glenn Munso. It involves gym sessions and mentoring, plus online advice. James bought Glenn’s book, Drugs Do Not Discriminate. “I tried to read it quite a few times but I couldn’t get through the pages, and I felt guilty reading the book while I was using,” James said. “I decided to get clean. “For about three days, I had a really foggy brain. “I couldn’t accomplish anything I wanted to do.” James reached out to Glenn for advice during a live feed on his Facebook. “I’d been in the house for days,” he said. “It got me out of the house to run six laps of the oval.” He moved back to Melbourne from Queensland, joined the program “and I’ve been coming three or four times a week ever since, for four months”.

Looking Back 100 years ago 26 July 1917 Dandenong Red Cross It might be of interest to our local Red Cross workers on a recently-arrived troopship with wounded men that many of the socks, shirts and pyjamas supplied to those on board when leaving England were from the Dandenong Red Cross branch and were much appreciated.

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society 12th World Jamboree in the United States could be part of the World-Wide JamboreeOn-The-Air, in which hundreds of amateur radio operations will help establish aroundthe-globe communications for Scouts on the weekend of 5 and 6 August. The Australian Scout Movement is one of the leaders in the project, where amateur radio operators have supported the scheme to the hilt.

21 July 1997 Autopsy of One Nation Greater Dandenong Council has declared its role in the One Nation Party rally as reasonably successful, given the limited time available to mobilise the groups involved. The view was the consensus of a meeting last Thursday called by the mayor, Councillor Greg Harris, to discuss and evaluate how the

community coped with the launch of One Nation and the resultant protests. It was also heard that One Nation organisers were initially offered Springvale Town Hall because it would cause less traffic disruption but declined. The meeting was attended by representatives of a number of the community groups who, along with the council, organised the multicultural celebrations in Langhorne Street on the night of the One Nation launch. The discussion centred on the four major issues of community participation, entertainment, safety and logistics, as well as publicity and media coverage. Cr Harris said that the size of the crowd outside the Town Hall had taken him by surprise. The general consensus was that the police did an excellent job and a number of those attending the meeting mentioned feeling very safe as they wandered around Dandenong.

Cr Roz Blades and five other councillors, who approved the name Multicultural Place for the space in March, have been targeted in an election pamphlet. “They (pro Saigon Square group) want people to vote for them on the basis that they’ll change Multicultural Place to Saigon Square,” Cr Blades said. “I’ve told them all that it can’t be changed.“ Cr Peter Brown, who was also targeted in the pamphlet, said a name change was not possible. “Places Victoria is not going to change its mind (on the name) because of a council election,” he said.

Mussel fritters are a well-known dish across New Zealand. “We use New Zealand green lipped mussels for that recipe,” NZ Street Food owner Jae Tuhi said. “It’s like a pancake mix with spring onion and the mussel and we just cook it on the frying pan or on the grill.” Jae is bringing this traditional dish and many others to the Dandenong Market, including fried bread. “It’s just a yeast dough mixed and we just deep fry it,” he said. “It’s become a traditional dish to the New Zealand Maori. “It was probably introduced years ago by the Europeans when they came to New Zealand. “We get Europeans coming to buy it as well.” It’s one of NZ Street Food’s best sellers, and the

NZ Street Food started out as a van that first visited Dandenong Market in 2015 and became a permanent stall in May this year. “There was no one doing our food on a commercial basis, making it available to our people and for other cultures to try,” Jae said. “Some of the people who have made their way to us have come as far as Werribee, Altona and Traralgon. “Islanders love the seafood and fried bread so will travel far to get it.”

Jean Harrison is the Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills’ first female president. “Five years ago when I joined there wasn’t any other women in the club,� she said. “It’s moved along.� She stepped into the presidential position at the club’s changeover dinner at the Dandenong Club on Saturday 8 July. “I want to bring a bit of energy and vitality back into the club and, hopefully, encourage a bit of youth,� Ms Harrison said. “We’ve got lots of experience but our members are getting older and we need to bring people in that can be mentored and take over.� The group has about 30 members, including six women. “I’m hoping that as a female president I’ll encourage some more women in,� Mr Harrison said. “You need a mix.� She said membership was dwindling in Rotary clubs across Australia. “I’ve just been to the Rotary International Conference in Atlanta, in June,� she said. “In a lot of the Indian and African countries

they’re younger, they’re growing really strongly. “In the US, UK and Australia they’re ageing and not attracting younger people.� One of Endeavour Hills’ younger female members suggested privilege could be playing a part. “Unless you’re involved with Rotary you don’t see the things people are trying to deal with,� Ms Harrison said. “In other countries they see the need on a first-hand basis.� She attended her first international conference last year in Seoul, South Korea. More than 40,000 people from different countries, cultures and religions “all working for a common goal� turned out. “That’s pretty amazing,� she said. Endeavour Hills Rotary started a men’s shed in the suburb last year and is now helping the growing group to find a new home. “We did a project with the Andrews Centre in Endeavour Hills. We put a whole new kitchen in for them. “We did a big community garden which is at Gleneagles Secondary College.� Prospective members can check out the club at its weekly dinner at the Dandenong Club from 6.30pm on Thursdays.

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey’s $125 million Bunjil Place project has an official opening date with construction expected to be complete and the new building open to the public on 28 October. Federal La Trobe MP Jason Wood and Casey mayor Sam Aziz took a look at the building on Wednesday 19 July to inspect how the work was coming along. When the mammoth project was first announced in June 2015, council predicted construction would be complete by the end of 2017. The project was jointly funded by Casey Council and the Federal Government thanks to advocacy and input from Mr Wood. Mr Wood was instrumental in securing $10 million of funding from the Federal Government for the project and said he was amazed with how the building had come along. “It looks unbelievable,” he said. “The wood feature archways at the front - when you first see it, you realise this is not an ordinary building this is a work of art.” Mr Wood said the performance and exhibition spaces within the new building would mean people in Casey and surrounding areas will have access to world-class art at their doorstep. “When it comes to the performing arts and arts in general, now we will have a facility which will

mean no longer will the good people of La Trobe and Casey need to go into the CBD to see high quality arts,” he said. “Instead the good city folk can come here and see local artists and see them perform in home territory.” Mr Wood said he was impressed the Casey Council had managed to use the federal funding contribution to get the best outcome for residents. “It’s precisely what they said they would achieve on paper but to see it close up you realise it is that and more,” he said. “I must congratulate the Casey Council, councillors and staff; they’ve really gone after a major project for the area going to have benefits for the community for decades to come.” Bunjil Place will be officially opened with a weekend of activities in and around the building on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 October. Cr Aziz said all residents were welcome to attend the event and be some of the first to experience one of the City of Casey’s biggest infrastructure projects. “After many years of planning and construction, we are incredibly excited that we now have a date to welcome the first visitors to this vibrant entertainment precinct,” he said. “Bunjil Place will be an enlivening destination, providing experiences that will instil a sense of enjoyment, wonder, discovery and belonging in visitors.”

We need you.

Contact centre in search for a home By Casey Neill Cornerstone will host the final meal in its Mason Street home without a permanent new space to move to. The Dandenong contact centre’s CEO Stephen Barrington said the Friday 28 July event was just the end of one chapter. “We are literally out searching every day for the right building, in the right location,” he said. From Wednesday 2 August, the Dandenong Church of Christ in David Street will host the Wednesday and Friday Cornerstone lunches. “We are thankful to this church community for allowing us to use their space, not too far out from central Dandenong,” Mr Barrington said.

You know your community. As a Support Worker, you’ll use your local knowledge to help people in your community.

“Unfortunately we were unable to find a shortterm premises that was available for all of our programs to use and we are very disappointed about that. “This is not ideal but is the best we can manage at this point. Dozens of people gathered at the Dandenong charity on Friday 19 May to farewell its home of 25plus years, on the corner of Walker Street. But it wasn't all sad news. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams announced a $30,000 State Government grant at the afternoon tea. In May, Greater Dandenong Council voted to provide a one-off grant of $25,000 for new premises, and a one-off increase of $11,000 to its $19,000 annual funding for the 2017/18 year.

It’s none of our business but… landscaping proposals for the site,” VicRoads metro South East regional director Aidan McGann said. The $2.2 million project is part of the Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative. There were 11 recorded crashes, four resulting in serious injuries, at the intersection in the five years to 30 June last year.

The Journal revealed in its last edition that the State Government had bought the site for the future Keysborough South primary school. Several days later, Keysborough MP Martin Pakula said the Australian Animal Protection Society’s (AAPS) Keysborough Animal Shelter would be able to stay on 10 Homeleigh Road for 12 months while its new centre was being built. He said the site was opposite a major sporting complex and adjacent to new housing development. The project will now enter the design phase, Mr Pakula said, and the school is expected to cater for 475 students, with capacity for expansion if required. “One of the tallest and healthiest gum trees in the city” is making way for traffic lights at a Dandenong intersection. An anonymous caller to the Journal was concerned about the gum at Princes Highway and Robinson Street intersection after spotting a yellow dot on it. VicRoads confirmed the tree would have to be removed in order to widen Robinson Street and accommodate double right turn lanes from the Princes Highway. “We have worked closely with the City of Greater Dandenong on the design of the intersection and we’re in discussions over

“When it comes to the performing arts and arts in general, now we will have a facility which will mean no longer will the good people of La Trobe and Casey need to go into the CBD to see high quality arts,” La Trobe MP Jason Wood said after checking out the Casey council’s new civic centre, Bunjil Place. “Instead the good city folk can come here and see local artists and see them perform in home territory.” Perhaps Mr Wood isn’t familiar with Dandenong’s Drum Theatre? It’s been bringing world-class events to the south-east for more than 10 years. Is a Casey-Greater Dandenong rivalry brewing? Bunjil will officially open on 28 October. The Drum Theatre has impressed singer Damien Leith. The former Australian Idol contestant preformed his Roy Orbison tribute show there on Saturday 15 June. It was his first time in Dandenong and he was disappointed he didn’t get to see more of the suburb. “I didn’t get a Dandee Donut or anything like that,” he said. “We got delayed, unfortunately. Our plans didn’t work out the way we wanted them to. Leith promised he’d be back. “I don’t know why I hadn’t been to Dandenong before,” he said. “It’s a really nice community, that’s the main thing I got from it. “What’s really beautiful about the theatre is it’s very up-close and personal even though there’s a lot of people in there. “You really feel like you’re singing to each individual person. You can really connect with them.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Ampacet’s true colours By Casey Neill “I thank you for bringing colour to our lives.” And with that, Industry and Employment Minister Wade Noonan officially opened Ampacet Australia’s new multimillion dollar headquarters in Dandenong South on Friday 14 July. “Thank you on behalf of the state of Victoria,” he said. Mr Noonan said Ampacet’s investment gave other people confidence to invest. “You are very much leading the way,” he said. He said the success stories he heard from businesses were about innovation and people. “You can’t afford to stand still,” he said. Ampacet Australia formed in August 2014, first acquiring Allied Colour and adding Oceania Plastics in 2015. It’s part of US-based Ampacet Corporation, which since 1937 has provided colouring to the plastics industry for use in food packaging and other products. It has 24 manufacturing plants around the world that employ 2000 people. The new Rodeo Drive facility has a laboratory for product development and quality assurance, including about $1 million of machinery dedicated to quality testing. The company will collaborate with its customers from the idea generation stage through to product development and commercialisation. Ampacet Australia also plans to start exporting flame-retardant products to China to use in manufacturing construction products. Ampacet president and CEO Yves Carette praised the Australian team for succeeding even before the new facilities opened. “Thanks to your hard work, sales in Australia have more than doubled over the last three years,” he said.

Making it less taxing all round The Australian Taxation Office is running a free program to help people with their tax return for those who earn less than $60,000. Federal Member for Holt Anthony Byrne’s office will be transformed into a Tax Help Centre from 1 August, where people can receive help completing their tax returns. “Completing a tax return can be quite a stressful process for many people,” Mr Byrne said. “I would encourage eligible people to take advantage of this free service that aims to make their lives easier.” Mr Byrne has partnered up with Tax Help volunteer Tina Jom to deliver this service to the people of the Holt electorate. Ms Jom is one of many CPA qualified volunteers approved by the ATO who will be helping people around the county this tax time. “Our office has already had many inquiries this year because our Tax Help volunteer Tina Jom provides such a great service,” Mr Byrne said. The service is available to all constituents in Holt who fall under the $60,000 income threshold.

WINTER 2017

HOME & GARDEN GUIDE Exotic fruit is oh so cool By Narelle Coulter The last of this year’s finger limes. Magda Straszkowski loves a gardening challenge so when she read about finger limes on the internet she was determined to give growing the tropical citrus a go in her Narre Warren North garden. Five years later Magda has harvested her latest crop of the little, brown skinned limes that do indeed resemble fat fingers. Sometimes called lime caviar, the little pearllike crystals that form the flesh of finger limes are fast becoming popular with chefs in high-end restaurants around the world. They are perfect as a zesty garnish for desserts and cocktails. In Australia the thorny bush is native to rainforests of south-east Queensland and north-east New South Wales. But as Magda has proved, finger limes can be grown in Victoria’s cool temperate climate. The plants are more readily available now as word catches on about their flavour-packed fruit. When Magda sourced her plants she had to go to Ballarat to buy them from one of the few nurseries in Victoria stocking them at the time. “I wanted to give it a crack and see if I could do it,” she explained, cutting open one of the last limes to be harvested from her tree this season. “I didn’t know anything about growing them. I did my own research, stuck them in the ground and hoped for the best.” The finger lime can grow up to four metres high and four metres wide. The plant is unlikely to get that big in Victorian gardens because of the lack sun and humidity. Finger limes fruit in late summer and early autumn. This year Magda estimated she harvested about 1.5 kilograms of fruit. She describes the little pearls inside the limes

Three tips for growing finger limes · In cooler climates, choose a partly shaded north-facing site. · They can withstand a light frost. · Mulch in spring and keep the soil moist in summer. as being like “a little cherry tomato that bursts in your mouth”. Magda uses the fruits of her labour in one of her favourite drinks - vodka, lime and soda. She also muddles them and mixes them through a martini. “Each pearl has so much flavour. It’s very intense. You don’t need much, it’s quite strong. “You can really use them in anything that has citrus in it, like jams or you could make a paste, similar to quince paste.”

Magda is now turning her green thumb to growing star fruit, or carambola, another tropical fruit which when cut resembles a star. “I like to grow rare stuff that not a lot of other people use.” Her garden boasts five different types of lime, an avocado tree and an orange tree. She also grows broccoli, cauliflower and lemons. Tucked away at the side of a shed is a prickly pear which was grown from a leaf harvested from a plant that belonged to Magda’s husband’s late grandfather.

“They drop a leaf and just grow. They are very low maintenance,” she explained of the prickly pear, admitting the fruit is an acquired taste. “I am a practical gardener. With my Eastern European background and my husband’s Italian heritage we like to try different foods. “Supermarket produce has no flavour and is hell expensive. Most of it is genetically modified so you don’t really know what you are eating. I know my produce is all organic and it’s healthy.”

WE LOVE IT

BERWICK This outstanding builder’s own home sits on top of the highest point in Berwick and has breathtaking views as far as the eye can see. It is designed to fully capture the sweeping views of the Harkaway Hills and unmissable views out to Port Philip bay and beyond. Every detail has been carefully thought out, every room captures a different view and every inch of the 1000sqm block has been used. As visitors enter the residence, on the ground floor their senses are overloaded with the different textures used throughout the home. Polished concrete greets as they walk into the expansive entrance hall which leads to the choice of two garages. There is double and triple car accommodation, a gym or home office with direct access to outside which is perfect for clients or customers coming to the home. The second level is where the new owners will spend their days and nights, taking in those majestic views. With the home's clean crisp use of white walls, neutral tones, glass and high gloss spotted gum timber floors, the new owners will be able to adapt their own colours and individual style to this home. The home features five bedrooms, the master with a full walk-in wardrobe and en suite, a guest bedroom with full bathroom and wardrobes and the three remaining bedrooms have easy access to the central bathroom and rumpus room. The kitchen is ideally located and has stone bench tops, Asko, ovens and dishwashers and Bosch induction cooktop, walk-in pantry and an abundance of extra storage space.

WINTER 2017

HOME & GARDEN GUIDE

You can’t beat a blast of beetroot Beetroot is a fantastic winter vegetable that feels distinctly Aussie due to the nation’s love of a slice of beetroot in a burger. Dandenong Market grocers Nicole and Alex Alexopoulos say beetroot has a sweet, earthy taste that makes it a versatile veg. “Beetroots have high sugar content and are known for their sweetness, but are low in calories,” Alex said. “Fresh beetroot also supplies a nutritional bonus as they are high in magnesium and folate, and a good source of potassium, vitamins A, B6 and C, antioxidants and soluble fibre.” Beetroot can be steamed or boiled, peeled and then eaten warm. Pickled beets are a traditional food in many countries, as is combining beetroot with horseradish to form ćwikla, which is traditionally eaten in Eastern Europe with cold cuts and sandwiches. Beetroot soup, such as borscht, is also a popular dish and perfect for winter. Other options include baking beetroot into cakes or blending into juices. Take inspiration from Poland and the Ukraine where they add beetroot to meat and potatoes - a perfect, simple winter warmer. Nicole said beetroot was at its best between June and November. Buyers should look for smooth, hard, round beets and avoid spongy and soft beets. A healthy deep red colour is an indicator of quality. Opt for smaller beetroots over larger ones because small ones are sweeter. Avoid blemished beetroot. The surface should be unbruised and free of cuts. Opt for smaller, crisper leaves and make sure they are green - not yellow - and not wilted.

Warm winter salad Ingredients (serves 4-6) 2 cloves roasted garlic 8 brussel sprouts 5 small baby beetroot (boiled and peeled) 2 red capsicums, halved and deseeded Handful of baby spinach 150gms black quinoa (soaked, cooked and refreshed) 2 parsnip 250ml pomegranate juice 1 stick fresh ginger 2 egg yolks 3 ruby grapefruit (peeled and segmented) 150ml olive oil 1 teaspoon crushed Szechwan pepper Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Nicole and Alex Alexopoulos from Alexander Produce can give shoppers advice on buying beetroot.

Three tips for storing beetroot · Fresh beetroot will store for 10 days in the fridge. · Store in the crisper. · Remove the stalks and leaves and keep these in a separate bag.

Method 1. In a pot bring the pomegranate juice, ½ the grapefruit segments and crushed Szechwan pepper to the boil then add the quinoa, and cook till the grain has softened. Season then spread onto a tray and let cool. 2. Roast the first four items in a baking tray with generous amounts of olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and red wine vinegar on 185C for until they have just softened. 3. In a bowl using a stick blender, puree the two egg yolks with the segmented grapefruit and fresh ginger for two minutes, then slowly add the olive oil until it has just emulsified. 4. Season with salt and pepper, then add the chopped fresh thyme and parsley. 5. Toss gently in a large bowl all the roasted items with the baby spinach and sprinkle through the quinoa.

HOME & GARDEN GUIDE

Sam opens up on sticky situation By Cam Lucadou-Wells Sam Sgariotio is a retired concrete form-worker with some experience in building who virtually has a full-time job working on building projects at Akoonah Park Men’s Shed. In this edition of Home and Garden, Sam offers some timely advice on how to fix a sticking door - a problem that can often surface in the colder, damper months. He’ll also share a novel way to hold up a unhinged door while it is being worked on. First, inspect where the door seems to be catching on the door frame. If it’s sticking on the bottom half of the door

then planing or sanding down the door’s catching surface will fix the problem. But if it’s sticking above the door knob, follow the method below: 1. Unscrew the door from its hinges. It’s better to take a shave of timber off on the hinge side - it’s easier to remove hinges rather than taking off from the lock side. 2. Mark the sticking region with pencil. 3. Use a wedge stand to hold the door while it is being worked on (see instructions to make a wedge stand, right). 4. Rest the door horizontally in the wedge stand. 5. Check if the hinges have come loose. Screw

Make a wedge stand 1. In a block of wood, create a groove wider than the thickness of the door. Mark out the width of the desired square groove in pencil, make several cuts to the bottom of the groove with a saw, hollow out the groove by knocking out the middle with a hammer and a chisel. 2. If the groove is too wide to hold the door, make a wedge from spare timber and wedge that in with the door for a snug fit. Anyone who is interested in joining a men’s shed can visit the Victorian Men’s Shed Association page at vmsa. org.au or call 0408 465 228.

them tighter in the door. If necessary, make the screw bite firmer in the hole by either using a larger screw or by filling the hole with a match. 6. Otherwise, remove hinges and plane off timber up to the mark. Replace hinges as in step 5. 7. Re-hang the door, and repeat step 6 until it fits.

SPORT Legends shine through the tragedy of suicide By Russell Bennett “We want to have more of these games, but we don’t want them to have to be in memory of anyone.” They were the simple, heartfelt words from Matt Runnalls as he looked out over the Hampton Park junior footy ground at the second ever running of the club’s Legends Game, which welcomed a host of its favourite sons back to the fold. Former players and club people from all works of life converged on the ground for the game, this year held in memory of former player Shaun Ross who took his own life late last year aged just 22. The lovable larrikin who’d give the shirt off his own back to anyone in need, made an unforgettable impact on anyone close to him, and thousands across the south-east will never quite be the same again. They won’t get to hear his laugh again, or see his smile, or simply confide in one of life’s good guys. Shaun had a heart of gold, but his was a troubled life from a young age. Yet through the darkness of his passing, there is a light - one that shone bright on the day. The Legends Game carried a special significance, serving as a way to honour Shaun and direct the spotlight onto suicide prevention and mental health awareness among young people. The day was held in partnership with Mindfull Australia, a suicide prevention charity founded by Shaun’s great friend, and former club-mate at the Cora Lynn Football Netball Club, Matt Runnalls. Mindfull’s purpose is to encourage those affected by mental health battles to come out of the shadows of stigma through self-acceptance and education of the wider community. At the time he founded Mindfull, Matt was a 24-year-old tradie who played country footy. He had no real financial worries, his professional life was in order, and he had a strong network of family and friends. But since he was 17 he battled severe anxiety and depression which led to several suicide attempts. Between the ages of 12 and 25, he’d also lost six mates to suicide. On the day, the teams which took to the field for the Legends Game were made up largely of Shaun’s mates and it was only fitting that the final result was a draw. Following the game, there was a dinner and presentation in the clubrooms from both Matt, and Shaun’s mum Bec. “If you could take a positive out of such a horrific situation, it was losing that second mate to suicide that enabled me to go and get the help and treatment that I required because I was so scared I’d be the next statistic,” Matt told the room. Bec thanked both the Redbacks and Mindfull for holding the event in Shaun’s honour.

For Shaun. Players of both sides in the legends game came together as one, all wearing the number 15 Shaun Ross s number in his days in the red and black. 170577 Picture: ROB CAREW “It eases the pain slightly knowing that Shaun touched so many people’s hearts in his short 22 years, and was loved by so many people,” she said. Bec said if there was one positive to come out of losing Shaun, it was the determination and drive she gained to help anybody with their battles with mental illness and to try and prevent anyone going through the grief that she endures

daily. “The one thing I can say to each and every one of you is to hug your kids and tell them you love them every single day,” she said. Anyone needing help can contact Lifeline on 131 114, Beyondblue on 1300 224 636, or Mindfull at www.facebook.com/mindfullaus.

Stingrays girls lead the way The success of the Dandenong Stingrays TAC Cup Girls is not being judged by wins and losses alone, with four members of the squad selected in the AFL Women’s Under-18 All-Australian squad. Of the 12 TAC Cup Girls clubs, the Dandenong Stingrays produced the most All Australian squad members ahead of the Calder Cannons, Eastern Ranges and Geelong Falcons with three each, the Bendigo Pioneers, Gippsland Power, GWV Rebels, Murray Bushrangers and Sandringham Dragons with two and the Northern Knights with one. Twenty-four Victorian players that competed in the recently completed NAB AFL Women’s Under-18 Championships are in line for All Australian honours. And 15 players from the Vic Country squad that was undefeated in four matches at the Championships and nine from Vic Metro have been selected in a squad of 54, which will be split in two to play a curtainraiser to the NAB AFL Women’s State of Origin match during the AFL Celebration of Football between the end of round 23 and the first week of the AFL finals. The All Australian squad also included 10 representatives from Queensland, eight from Western Australia, five from NSW/ ACT and seven from the Allies (a combined squad representing South Australian, Tasmania and Northern Territory). The squad: Defenders: Rebecca Webster (VC - Murray Bushrangers), Courtney Jones (VC Dandenong Stingrays), Iilish Ross (VC - Murray Bushrangers), Bridie Kennedy (VC - Dandenong Stingrays), Lucy McEvoy (VC Geelong Falcons), Georgia Clarke (VC - GWV Rebels), Olivia Vesley (VM - Sandringham Dragons), Georgia Ricardo (VM - Sandringham Dragons), Georgia McPherson (VM - Eastern Ranges), Molly Warburton (VM - Calder Cannons) Midfielders: Darcy Guttridge (VC - Gippsland Power), Tyla Hanks (VC - Gippsland Power), Jordyn Allen (VC - Dandenong Stingrays), Aisling Tupper (VC - Bendigo Pioneers), Olivia Purcell (VC - Geelong Falcons), Georgia Gee (VC - Dandenong Stingrays), Madison Prespakis (VM - Calder Cannons), Maddy Guerin (VM - Northern Knights), Olivia Flanagan (VM - Eastern Ranges), Georgia Patrikios (VM - Calder Cannons) Rucks: Rene Caris (VC - GWV Rebels) Forwards: Denby Taylor (VC - Geelong Falcons), Eden Zanker (VC - Bendigo Pioneers), Emerson Woods (VM - Eastern Ranges) The final All Australian team will be named after the Celebration of Football curtain-raiser. The selectors are Aasta O’Connor, Kiara Bowers, Renee Forth, Kate Sheahan, Luke Power, Julia Price, Ahmed Saad and Jan Cooper.

UK tour lets Molly show off her soccer credentials By Nick Creely If there is a 16-year-old with a better soccer CV than Molly Burke, it’d be a genuine surprise. And if all goes to plan for the Haileybury student - currently attending the Keysborough campus - a call-up to the Matildas surely isn’t that far away. The right back/defensive midfielder, who currently plays for the NTC (National Training Centre) of Victoria - otherwise known as the Victorian state team - always dreamt of representing her country, until she did in January of this year. As part of the Australian Schools Under-19 team, Burke headed abroad with her team-mates from all corners of the country. “We went over to the UK and Ireland to play in a 10-match tournament against other countries and premier league youth teams,” she said. “We were undefeated overall, and only drew one game against Northern Ireland. “We played many teams such as Cardiff Unit32 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 24 July, 2017

ed, the Republic of Ireland, Wales, Bristol City, Scotland, England, England School Girls team, and a university team from England, with our best win against Scotland which we won 12 - 0.” The team was selected from the School Sport Australia soccer tournament held in Perth in November of 2016. “I have been playing in this tournament since I was in Year 8, and it had always been my goal to make into that squad and to go to the UK,” she said. “After the tournament, an Australian squad of 18 (out of over 100 female players) was announced and I was lucky enough to have been selected. “It was both a mentally and physically demanding situation to be thrown into a team with girls you don’t know and have never played with before, and to have to prove yourself to a new coach in such a short amount of time.” She was even lucky enough to play with her 13-year-old younger sister, Alicia Burke.

“The girls gelled exceptionally from the beginning, with no discrimination because of age, skill or where we came from,” she said. “The only thing that mattered was that everyone gave 110 per cent on and off the field.” With many of the squad going on to play or train with W-League teams, university teams or Youth Matilda’s camp, Burke understands the sky is the limit. “This experience was something I had worked towards for years, and finally getting the opportunity to play in such a high level environment with an amazing group of girls was something I will never forget,” she said. Molly is also excited about the upcoming National FFA U17 Championship and the School Sport Australia Pacific Games Tournament in Adelaide. “I’m really excited to see how Victoria goes in both tournaments this year.”

Molly Burke, right, has the soccer world at her feet.

By Nick Creely JOURNAL FOOTBALL REVIEW SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 15 It’s lucky for Keysborough that premierships aren’t won or lost in July. Because if they dish up similar to what they did in the first quarter in Saturday’s clash with Murrembeena, the Burras won’t stand a chance with everything on the line. Although it was a game, 12.10(82) to 8.14(62), that belonged purely to the Lions, the Burra at least stemmed the bleeding in the second half to add respectability to the scoreboard. The sixth-placed Lions came surging out of the blocks, kicking seven unanswered goals to open up an early 46-point lead, completely stunning a shell-shocked Burras outfit looking to cement itself into the top two. That lead shrunk marginally to 35-points at the main break, but grew legs in the third as the Lions skipped out to a 49-point lead courtesy of four goal to two third term. With the game buried, the Burra held the Lions scoreless in the last quarter to end the game in positive fashion. Competition superstar Chris Bryan was brilliant for the Burras and never gave in, while reliable goal kicker Corey Hargreaves (three goals) chimed in with some fine majors. The Burras won’t be able to afford many more similar results this year as they chase a top two position, and get a chance at redemption when they play Caulfield next week. Springvale Districts had the bye, and will now host the surging Lions. DIVISION 3 - ROUND 14 Top-two fancy Endeavour Hills 10.17(77) pulled away with a powerful six-goal last quarter to overpower the Doveton Eagles 7.3(45) at Power Reserve on Saturday. The match of the round sure lived up to his hype in the first half, with both sides playing a fierce brand of football, and by three quarter time, just nine goals were scored collectively and the Hills led by a solitary point. But off the back of a brilliant cameo from Nick Gay (three goals), the Eagles ruthlessly denied Doveton any chance of the four points, slamming home 6.7 to just 2.0 in a whirlwind final quarter that will leave opposition clubs quaking in their boots. Cory Wilson - as he always does - was outstanding for the Eagles all day, and took his tally of goals to 25 for the season after another two. Hallam 12.17(89), meanwhile, won in workmanlike fashion against Lyndale 6.8(44), further cementing themselves on top of the ladder. Off the back of a 5.9 to scoreless opening term, the Hawks held the fighting Pumas at bay and cruised their way home. Phillip Ward and Matt Neve both kicked multiple goals, snaring three and two goals respectively. In other matches, Sandown 5.5(35) tried hard

but to no avail, falling to Carrum Patterson Lakes 17.13(115), Lyndhurst 14.12(96) registered a comfortable victory over Dandenong 7.9(51), Black Rock 8.7(55) held off South Yarra 3.3(21) in a dour affair, and Ashwood 13.16(94) defeated Moorabbin 12.8(80). EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 1 - ROUND 13 A barnstorming performance by the great Ziggie Alwan (six goals) has inspired Noble Park 15.13(103) to a comfortable victory over their closest Eastern Football League rival - Rowville 9.14(68) on Saturday. The brilliant, talented and freakish Alwan put the Hawks to the sword in a vintage display, tear-

ing the home side apart in brutal fashion. With the Bulls looking to bounce back after a disappointing few weeks, they went on a rampage in the first quarter, kicking five goals and opening up a 27-point lead. Although the Hawks played with more vigour and were tougher at the contest throughout the second to cut that margin back at half time, Alwan inspired the Bulls to a eight goal to five last half to claim the four points. More importantly, the Bulls go up into third spot on the Division 1 ladder ahead of a big clash against finals fancy Balwyn on Saturday.

Mixed bag for the Rangers By Nick Creely SEABL REVIEW - ROUND 16 The Dandenong Rangers’ Men’s and Women’s sides had mixed results in Saturday’s evening double header against the Frankston Blues, as the season reaches the pointy end. It all began with the Women’s team, as the Rangers and Blues fought a hard tussle to be locked at 18-23 at quarter time. The Blues were able to get the early jump, but a stirring Rangers fightback late in the first trimmed the margin back. Again, the Blues skipped out to a handy lead in the second quarter, making their baskets, and showing great tenacity around the court, but the Rangers responded to cut the margin back to six at half time. And despite the Rangers putting in a valiant effort without starts Lauren Scherf and Anneli Maley, the Blues were too strong, running out 74-69 winners. The Rangers were well served by Aimee Clydesdale (28 points) who put in monster numbers, while Amelia Todhunter (10 points) and Rosie Fadljevic (10 points) contributed strongly in solid game time. The Rangers hit the road in Round 17 as they travel to face the Canberra Capitals in Belconnen next Saturday night, tip-off at 5.15pm. Meanwhile, the Men’s team finished the night off in solid fashion, defeating Frankston 90-85 in a grueling affair. In a brilliant first half by both sides, not much could split them apart, with the Rangers holding a narrow two-point advantage. But some hot shooting by the Blues saw them skip out to a 70-57 lead at three-quarter time, with the likelihood both Dandenong sides would walk away bitterly disappointed. Showing grit and skill, the Rangers fought their way back mightily, smashing the Blues around the court in a 28-15 last quarter to pinch their seventh win in the last eight matches. Tim Lang (19 points, five rebounds) put in some impressive numbers, while Chauney Orr (18 points), Garrett Jackson (16 points) and Felix Kalau Von Hofe (14 points) impressively reached double digits for the match in what was a truly sensational all-round team masterclass in the last quarter. Dandenong now sit atop the ladder with a brilliant 14-7 record with just the two rounds to go in what has been a stunning patch of basketball from the men in green. Just like the Women’s side, the Rangers will hit the road to face Canberra in the double-header, with tip-off at 7.30pm.

Zara - An Entity all of her own Zara’s Entity stamped herself as one of the most exciting youngsters in the country with an emphatic victory at Sandown Park on Thursday night. Following on from her brilliant seven-anda-half-length win in Sunday’s heat, Zara’s Entity improved on that effort, winning the final of the Dollars For Dinner This July final by eight lengths in a time of 29.46, the fastest time of 12 races on the night. While her overall time was only fractionally faster than that which she recorded on Sunday, it was the manner by which she did it that turned heads. Drawn in box three, Zara’s Entity jumping brilliantly to lead by two lengths on landing and was never in danger of defeat. The Sandra Galea-trained Zou Star did well to finish second from the squeeze in box five, while the Ben Divirgilio-trained Missed An Earn finished hot on the heels in third place. But the race was all about Zara’s Entity and her growing reputation in the sport. “She’s done really well,” said handler Brad Greenough following the race. “It was a very smart field and she did well to get out of the boxes as well as she did. She’s shown early pace in her trials but this is the first time she’s shown it in a race, she looks like she has a bright future.” It was a view echoed by Zara Entity’s trainer Kel Greenough who believes Zara’s Entity has a chance to make it at the top level of the sport, but the experinced trainer will take his time with his exciting prospect. “We’ll keep her in age restricted races and see how she develops,” he said. “We may go to the Warragul St Ledger in a couple of weeks and see what else is there for her.” It was her third win in five career starts and she has run unlucky seconds in her other two ap-

Later in the night, reigning National Sprint Champion Worm Burner won for the 44th time in his career with a powerful win in the night’s top graded race. Trainer Andrea Dailly also had a Thursday night to remember, training a double with Rock-

star Troy saluting in race five and Verne Allen getting the chocolates in race 11. Rockstar Troy defeated his kennel-mate Rockstar Max in the fifth, with Dailly also preparing fourth-placed Fabriola Allen. Another star trainer, Robert Britton, prepared a nice-value running double in races six and seven with Blue Gum Hill defeating Extreme Magic

in the sixth before Rippin Hayne proved too strong for the Angela Langton-trained Vostok in race seven. Blue Gum Hill started at the luxurious odds of $6.60 before Rippin Hayne saluted at $4.80. Racing returns to Sandown Park this Thursday with the feature being the Restricted Win Final worth $6250 to the winner.

Premiership favourite pushed to the limit by Doveton By David Nagel Berwick’s quest for the perfect season remains intact - but only just - after the Wickers kicked two late goals to sink a brave Doveton by four points, 10.11(71) to 10.7(67), at Edwin Flack Reserve on Saturday. Trailing by 10 points at three-quarter time the Doves took advantage of a strong breeze, kicking the first three goals of the final term to lead by nine points at the 24-minute mark. Berwick’s 12-game winning streak appeared over, but a classy finish from Lucas JellymanTurner cut the margin to three. Jayden Graham then narrowly missed his opportunity to be the hero before running half back Luke Sheppard received a handball from Graham to kick the winner from 15 metres out at the 30-minute mark. His thoughts were swirling as he ran into goal. “I was crapping my pants to be honest,” Sheppard said shortly after the victory. “It was a clean tap on by Gunny (Tim Gunn), then (Jayden) Graham gave me the hands and it

was pretty straight forward in the end, but very nerve racking.” The Wickers have been dominant in recent times, but it took a completely different skill set to get across the line against the Doves. “We’ve been travelling alright; beating teams convincingly, but today was our first real challenge to see how we would respond under real pressure,” Sheppard said. “Doveton took it to us for pretty much the whole game, they pressed forward real well, their midfield got on top of ours I thought, but just to dig deep, when we hadn’t had that opportunity this year, to do that was really pleasing.” Harry Money kicked three in his first game for the season for the winners, while skipper Madi Andrews joined Sheppard and Jayden Joyce as his sides’ best performers. Doveton ruckman Russ Gabriel was superb, feeding Sam Raru, Nick Battle and Aaron Davey on a silver platter, while Taylor Joyce kicked three including a booming team-lifter in the final term. A resurgent Narre Warren 8.9(57) is now double-

chance bound after a stirring 19-point victory over arch-rival Cranbourne 4.14(38) at Kalora Park. The Eagles led a scrappy first half by a point before the Magpies ran rampant, kicking 6.2 to 1.3 to take a 28-point lead at the final change. It was a special third term from the Magpies with two goals to Trent Cody, and singles to Jack Soroczynski, Sam McLean, Dale Gawley and Dylan Quirk cutting a swathe through the Eagles’ defence. Cody was joined by fellow midfielders Josh Tonna, Dean Kelly and Michael Collins on the best players’ list. In other games, Beaconsfield 12.12(84) proved too strong for Tooradin 9.7(61), while Officer 11.10(76) made it back-to-back victories with a convincing performance against Pakenham 5.6(36). Top-5: Berwick 56, Cranbourne 44, Beaconsfield 40, Narre Warren 40, Doveton 36.

All others get Renault’s EDC dual-clutch automated manual.

All Clio models have advanced active and passive and safety technology and have gained a European NCAP five-star rating. All who viewed our Clio Intens loved its glowing red paint and admired the way it was set off by the black highlights. Similarly, the red and black interior had eyes lighting up. The front seats are comfortable and supportive in a very French manner. The back seats can take two adults in reasonable comfort, but there’s a need to share legroom with those in the front. A trip to Ikea for a midsize bookcase and some drawers to match saw the Clio’s boot swallow the load with room to spare. The rear seatbacks fold down till they’re parallel to the boot floor, though not at the same level. The hot Clio R.S. will be launched towards the end of the year. Its price is yet to be revealed.

The range now starts at $15,990 for the Clio Life manual and stretches up to a still pretty reasonable $22,990 for the Clio GT-Line and the Clio Intens, the latter two come only with automatic transmission.

We road tested two Clios for a week each, a Zen and an Intens, both with a dual clutch automatic transmission.
