■ Councillor blasts sign as “the work of bogans” and “ugly as sin”...
The Harmony Square sign at the civic centre. 141184 Picture: GARY SISSONS (Digitally altered image)

1170560-ACM06-15
A GREATER Dandenong councillor has slammed the $17,500 price tag for temporary metre-high white letters that spell out Harmony Square in the newly-named Dandenong space. Councillor Peter Brown described the art installation planted in the lawn last Tuesday as “ugly as sin” and “the work of bogans”. He said it was also a waste of money because it would be dismantled after six to eight weeks and he plans to call for a council vote to have the letters removed. But Mayor Sean O’Reilly said the letters were reusable and had
received a positive public response. “If it was a one-off for a few weeks you’d say that price was quite high,” he said. “They’ll be used for special occasions. For the number of uses that we intend to get out of the letters, I don’t think that price is too high at all. “I think it’s an effective way of introducing our new name. “I’ve checked on Facebook as well. There’s hundreds of likes on the photos. “From what I can gather, there’s only one person that doesn’t like it.” Cr Brown said there was no consultation with councillors prior to the
“abomination of what is a beautiful public space” appearing. But Cr O’Reilly said approving the signage was part of the process to choose the civic square name. “Councillors were briefed that the successful name would be presented in large letters in the civic square,” he said. “I can’t recall if Cr Brown was present at that particular briefing or not.” Cr Matthew Kirwan said the sign should have been more interesting – not white and with a better finish. “But it achieves the purpose of not only telling me the name of the square
but also promoting it as a place for the whole community,” he said. On the Journal’s Facebook page, Brad Woodford said the sign was striking and impressive and added a nice touch to a spectacular new development. “Finally, Dandenong has some colour and a place to be proud of,” he said. “I am a big fan of it. And, just for the record, I am not a bogan.” Sarah Whelan said the council had more significant issues to address than a sign Cr Brown deemed an abomination. “Are you at all concerned with
homelessness, families affected by family violence, crime, children going to school hungry etcetera? Grow up and do the job you were elected to do,” she said. Cr Brown said he’d move a notice of motion at the 13 July council meeting calling for the letters to be removed because “a public burning would be in breach of a local law”. “It’s an ugly waste of civic space,” he said. “I’m glad it’s going to be pulled down and removed but there are only so many uses for those letters. “Ultimately it’s a waste of money.”

Sleepy driver fined after crashing car
No light relief for troubled junction
A NURSING student has been fined for careless driving after falling asleep on his way from a work placement. The man escaped injury after he wrapped his Honda Civic’s front end around a pole on Police Road, Noble Park North, in the late afternoon of 9 March, a court has been told. The pole was pushed back 10 centimetres due to the crash, police prosecutor Senior Constable Liz Millear told the court on 29 June. The provisional driver, who failed to display P-plates on his car, told police he had been feeling sleepy despite taking non-drowsy hayfever tablets. He told the court that he had intended to drive from his work placement to a friend’s house nearby to sleep. Mr Bolster did not cancel the man’s licence because of a lack of prior history and his need to get to university and work placements. The man was fined $300 without conviction.
STOP signs and a traffic island have not improved a dangerous Dandenong intersection, says a long-time campaigner for lights at Scott and Thomas streets. A woman in her 80s was taken to hospital with minor injuries following a two-car collision at the junction on 18 June, reigniting Lamis Albyati’s plea for traffic signals. “I always pray and cross,” she said. She reached out to the Journal last August after frequently witnessing crashes since the roundabout that previously controlled the intersection was removed in 2009. City of Greater Dandenong engineering services director Julie Reid said the council had since installed splitter islands. “And there now are a total of four stop signs installed at this intersection,” she said. “There is really no excuse for a competent driver to not see at least one of the stop signs as they approach along Thomas Street.” Ms Reid said the recent crash involved an 88-year-old driver who failed to stop. “The incident was only minor and the police advised that the ambulance was called only as a precaution due to the motorist’s age and not because of any specific injury sustained,” she said. But Ms Albyati, who works in an office at the corner, said the new measures had not fixed the problems. “I definitely think it needs lights,” she said. “People are confused, they don’t know what to do. “Even if you are sure about yourself and that you’re doing the right thing, you’re not sure about the others, what they are thinking.”

Lamis Albyati at the Scott and Thomas streets intersection last year. 126034 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Ms Albyati avoids the area and said colleagues felt the same way. “It’s the most crowded area in Dandenong. It has to be safe. Otherwise... I don’t know what will happen,” she said. She said many new arrivals to Australia used the intersection and had not yet adjusted to new traffic laws and customs. “The first day when we arrived, the committee guide came and took us to AMES,” she said. “He took us to Thomas Street
and I was nearly killed at the roundabout because of a bus, because I was looking at the other side of the road. “I looked to the left and then I crossed.” Councillor Matthew Kirwan said the splitter islands were a good temporary solution but traffic signals were needed to make it safe. “I disagree with Julie Reid. A safe intersection is safe for all drivers - competent drivers, new drivers, tired drivers and distracted drivers,” he said.
“Often the mistakes of so-called incompetent drivers can cause harm and injury to innocent drivers and pedestrians so very busy intersections like this one need to have safety built in.” On the Journal’s Facebook page, Amo Lochery said the measures hadn’t improved safety. “It’s a Formula One circuit,” she said. Lu Fred said: “Why not have a traffic light installed at that point? It has been suggested many times.”
Police arrest 11 in early raids Platform cardboard box A PROPERTY in Nicole Avenue, Dandenong, was targeted by police on Friday as part of a Victoria Police investigation into drug manufacturing and trafficking. A series of warrants were executed from 5am around Melbourne’s southeast, and three South Gippsland towns as part of
the Operation Conscripted which is aimed at tackling methamphetamine by an alleged drug syndicate. Police arrested 11 people in the raids, including a 33-year-old Dandenong North man. A warrant was also executed at a factory on Frankston Gardens Drive in Carrum Downs where po-
lice arrested a 33-year-old Carrum Downs man without incident. He is currently in custody at Dandenong Police Station assisting police. A firearm, excavators, a forklift, trailers, vehicles, cash and illicit drugs, including what is believed to be ice and GHB, were seized by police.

Sticky date’s raw hunger for naked foods By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THERE’S nothing like promises of ‘free and naked’ to grab the attention. Noble Park-based Kez’s Kitchen has unleashed two liberatingly labelled health bars – choc mud and sticky date. The Free and Naked bars meet lofty, guiltfree standards – a four-star health rating, coldpressed, and nude of added sugar, gluten, wheat, GMO ingredients, sulfite, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. This vegan purity seems to be a lucrative product line, making its way onto major supermarket shelves across Australia. Managing director Michael Carp said his company struck a winner, doubling its output when it started making gluten-free foods such as cereals in 2007. It tapped into a hunger for healthy foods that “God meant us to eat”, he said.
EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL “It led to tremendous growth. “The market is inundated with food and products, but not with innovation. “It’s obviously a tough environment dealing with major retailers but they’re happy to support companies like us that show innovation and are flexible.” Mr Carp said his company couldn’t just copy others to keep itself ahead. It does extensive research with domestic consumers and emerging overseas trends to find its points of difference. “When you’re a small
company, you can be attuned to new trends and move quickly.” The kitchen, which turns around more than $10 million a year and employs 65 workers, started humbly in the late 1980s. Back then, Mr Carp’s sister Keren and mother Helen were cooking in a domestic kitchen, supplying cafes with choc-chip cookies and cakes. It soon took off to a commercial kitchen, then a larger bakery in Abbotsford. Mr Carp walked away from his job as a lawyer to hop on board in 1994. In 1999 the kitchen moved to its present purpose-built bakery at Princes Highway, Noble Park. “I saw their passion and enthusiasm,” Mr Carp said. “I just saw it as an incredible opportunity to work with my family.”

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 8 July 1915 Men are Urgently Needed Last night in a cafe a foreigner – a neutral – said to me: “You will not get many more Australians to go the war unless you have conscription.” Because he was a foreigner and might have misinterpreted as boasting the indignant denial that rose to my lips I let the remark pass. But among ourselves we cannot afford to ignore what our foreign fellow citizens think of our valour and patriotism. We will not send a sufficiency of reinforcements to the fighting line in Gallipoli unless by national compulsion! Are we behaving so that the impartial observer can think this of us? Out there on the bloody crags of Gallipoli our brothers are grappling
daily with death that our country may be free. For six solid weeks, in the face of dreadful odds day and night they have held on to their posts in a hell of gunfire and carnage, faithfully believing that as they fall we will step into their places; That in the end we will press on with courage and power sufficient to sweep the Turks into the sea and seal the safety of Australia for ever. They shall not hope in vain. Our brothers on Gallipoli want help. Every grudging word in the clipped cable messages tell of their heroic patience, every casualty list breaths of their suffering; every wound of theirs trumpet to us for aid. Only a few days back an official cable proclaimed the urgency of the case.
“Send as many men as you can,” it ran, “with or without equipment.” The War Office would not send such a message as that without a sense of imperative necessity. “Now is the time to rush into the breach.” 50 years ago 4 July 1965 Other Peoples Troubles Young Arthur had a major problem – a cornsack filled with rusted motor parts and assorted bric-a-brac which clung to him like the Old Man of the Sea who clamped himself on the shoulders of Sinbad the sailor. Arthur, with the best of intentions set out in his utility to find a municipal rubbish tip. From his home, Arthur steered north-west through seven suburbs to Sunshine, the home of his Aunt as he had heard her mention there
was a municipal tip not far from her house. Unfortunately she had forgotten to tell him the tip wasn’t open on Sundays. So Arthur was still saddled with his cornsack of junk, so he decided to dump it. Arthur emptied the cornsack of a cascade of metal parts, papers and a damming clue – one leaf of a notebook with his name and address on it. So Arthur found himself £13/10/- poorer and with that a hateful cornsack with its useless contents still on his hands... 20 years ago 3 July 1995 Street facelift Foster Street Dandenong will receive an $81,000 facelift to help
improve the “first impressions” of people arriving by train. The first stage will include landscaping and street beautification with secondary work to include new footpaths, kerbs and street furniture, and the planting of advanced trees. 5 years ago 5 July 2010 Pavilion for All A new pavilion development at Warner Reserve will replace two sports’ buildings and provide a multi-purpose community space. The $2.4 million building replaces a building on the Bird Street side of the reserve that burnt down and the current building used by the sport clubs on the Flynn Street side of the reserve. - Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society

Balaclava raider hunt POLICE are hunting a balaclava-clad man who threatened a Dandenong North bottle-shop clerk and a take-away restaurant employee in the space of 20 minutes. The man was wearing the balaclava when he entered the Ingrid Street Bottle-O about 7.20pm on Wednesday 24 June and demanded money from a female attendant behind the cash register. The victim panicked and ran out of the
store, prompting the raider to grab a bottle of wine and throw it at the woman as she fled. The bottle missed her and smashed on the ground. The raider then left the bottle shop empty-handed. About 20 minutes later, at 7.40pm, what is believed to be the same man entered a
nearby take-away restaurant on Menzies Avenue – this time armed with a knife. He jumped the counter and demanded money from the shop employee. However the employee’s son was working in a back room and quickly ran out to confront the attacker after he heard a disturbance. As the son approached the counter the
raider fled and was last seen running towards Chifley Crescent. He didn’t steal anything from the second store. Police believe the same man was involved in both incidents. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Church appeal now provides blanket coverage By CASEY NEILL SPRINGVALE’S most vulnerable have received a helping hand, warm blanket and food. Christian City Church (CCC) in Springvale donated blankets to the Springvale Benevolent Society on 26 June. It’s the third year that the church has taken on the task but its generosity is more important than ever in the wake of Federal Government funding cuts for the welfare organisation. In January the Journal reported that the society missed out on Department of Social Services (DSS) funding for the first time in 20 years, cutting $70,000 from its budget. The group has been providing food vouchers, blankets and other assistance to the community for 53 years. Mr Rechichi said the CCC blanket donation was a huge help. “We can keep up with demand,” he said. “While the stuff is there we just don’t knock people back.” He said Church of Ascension in Springvale was helping to keep the society’s cupboards stocked with food. “Over the years they’ve been excel-
lent, but they’ve just stepped up,” he said. The church’s Reverend Marshal Hereford said his parishioners was very generous. “Whenever there is some need there they always come forward,” he said. “When the government stopped their grants we told our people whenever they do their shopping to pick up something extra. “They’re very generous people, they’re very giving people. “Because the government has cut the grant I do know how difficult it is. “The people who need the most are the ones who are cut. It is very sad.” Rev Hereford said the church’s association with the society started with long-standing members of both groups, Pat and Albert Blashki. He said the church also helps with Christmas gifts. “We ask that when you get something for your own child, get a little something extra,” he said. “People bring wrapped gifts and write what age and gender. “Now it’s become a regular part of our church life. “We teach our children to give.”
IN BRIEF Man robbed at knifepoint A MAN was mugged and threatened with a knife as he walked through Dandenong last month. The victim was walking along Cleeland Street towards the David Street intersection about 10pm on Tuesday 23 June when he was approached by two men. One of the men carried a knife while the second attacker pushed the victim and demanded his phone and any money he had. The victim quickly handed over his phone and wallet, which had a small amount of cash in it, and the two men fled.

The driver, a 62-yearold man, was not injured in the incident and stopped to assist emergency crews.

A DANDENONG police officer got a welcome surprise last week. When coming out to the front desk to meet with reporters for their weekly media briefing, the officer was struck by the fact that no one else was in the Dandenong Police Station foyer waiting to see the cops. He was heard remarking that in all of his years of policing “I’ve never seen this place empty”.

“The club was a little disappointed with that so they actually bumped it up to $4000,” Mr Sanford said. “Anything that we need to purchase, any equipment or gear, we need to raise ourselves. “To have $4000 donated to us is awesome.” He said the brigade had not yet locked in a project but would be likely to use the cash to update truck equipment.

NOBLE Park firefighters have received a much-needed cash boost from Club Noble. The Noble Park Football Social Club presented a cheque for $4000 to brigade captain Terence Sanford last month. “We are working very closely with Club Noble and building a strong relationship,” Mr Sanford said. Club Noble’s annual golf day, held at Keysborough Golf Club in March, raised just under $2000 for the brigade.
sports clubs, but in the last few years we’ve been looking at broadening our philanthropic contributions,” he said. “We try to pick recipients within the council area - our local area - that we think are worthy of some donations and we think the CFA does a fantastic job. “Every year we pick a different group and we’ll continue to go on and sponsor them. “Next year we’ll continue to give the CFA money though we’ll pick someone else as the recipient from the golf day.”

Ms Brennan said PiqNiq Hut at the Dandenong Market noticed the vouchers being used straight away. The council has committed to producing four voucher booklets which are available to everyone at the council offices and are currently manufacturing 20 shopping carts that will be distributed throughout office buildings in Dandenong. “This is an opportunity for us to maximise the spend of people who are already coming into Dandenong and raise awareness of what’s already here because people don’t know what is available. “We’ve got all these workers coming into Dandenong every
day and with the new developments coming along we will have more workers coming into central Dandenong and we want to be able to facilitate their spending while they’re working here,” she said. Mayor Sean O’Reilly said the Work. Shop. Play. initiative was a way of showcasing Dandenong. “When we come to our workplace, we usually don’t take the time to notice what shops are right on our doorstep. “This project highlights to us that we can shop and be entertained very close to where we work,” Cr O’Reilly said. Hashtag #MyDandenong has people’s new finds and experiences and allows readers to share their own discovery.

ICONIC as it is to locals, the Dandenong Market is not as well-known as some. City of Greater Dandenong council officers were shocked to find 50 per cent of Australian Tax Office employees working in Dandenong had never been to the market. After a survey conducted last year into office workers’ spending habits in Dandenong, the council noticed an opportunity to increase the dollars spent by workers in local businesses. The council's Economic Development co-ordinator Paula Brennan said the new initiative Work. Shop. Play. aimed to increase awareness of Dandenong businesses. “The survey showed us there was an opportunity to engage the people that work here,” Ms Brennan said. Voucher booklets and shopping carts are available for use and tours of the market are in train in a bid to lift office worker spending in the town centre over a 12 month period. The initiate was launched with stalls from seven local businesses on Wednesday 24 June at the Walker Street Gallery. Ms Brennan said the launch was an opportunity to showcase the gallery as well. “We had workers coming and going during tea and lunch breaks from 11am to 2pm and representatives took voucher

Thanks for tea time I WOULD like to sincerely thank the Carwatha College community for its generous support of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea recently. Many locals supported Cancer Council Victoria’s fight against cancer by attending or hosting a morning tea and donating generously. My Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event was held at Carwatha college on 11 June with more than 40 attendees showing their support. More than $360 was raised for Cancer Council Victoria’s prevention programs, life-saving research and support services. The funds raised through Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea helps Cancer Council Victoria provide: - Funding for about 160 talented researchers and their cutting-edge projects each year. - Important prevention programs to make sure the public has all the information they need to cut
A pedestrian was hit and killed by a car in Dandenong on Friday 26 June. Amo Lochery: That is very sad. It was bound to happen as some drivers in Dandenong don’t give way to pedestrians when they are a turning vehicle or just ignore the road signs. The amount of near-misses trying to cross Lonsdale Street and Foster Street.... Robyn Westbury: Never a truer word said about drivers in Dandenong. I live in Dandy and the drivers do not stop at pedestrian crossings, won’t give way to pedestrians at all! Are new stop signs and a splitter island making the Scott and Thomas streets intersection safer? Brad Woodford: As a bus driver, I can tell you without hesitation that these constant additions of traffic islands, speed humps, stop signs and assorted other “road control implements“ are a right royal pain in the neck, particularly when it seems in some
their risk of cancer. - Experienced cancer nurses who provide people affected by cancer with advice, support and information. Just call 13 11 20 to access this service. Again, I would like to sincerely thank the Carwatha College community as Cancer Council Victoria would not be able to complete the work it does without your support and generosity. Ann Copley, Noble Park North.
Rainy day shortfall I ATTENDED the council meeting on 22 June where the budget for the next financial year was adopted and passed. During discussions on forward capital expenditure it was revealed that there would be a shortfall of some $35 million. This would be due to the State Government’s
cases these devices are placed on roads serviced by regular bus routes without any consideration given to the buses which need to travel through the area. More importantly, I suspect they also make life difficult for emergency service workers whilst they are attending an urgent emergency call. It’s time the authorities got back to punishing the hoons properly rather than just blanket punishing everybody for the actions of a small minority of bogan dimwits. Is the new Harmony Square sign “ugly as sin“ or “the work of bogans“? Brad Woodford: As a candidate in the prior council election in 2012, I sometimes struggle to work out where Cr Peter Brown gets off sometimes. To the best of my knowledge he doesn’t even live in Greater Dandenong yet wants to dictate how those of us who do get to enjoy our home town. I think the sign looks striking and impressive and adds a nice touch to a spectacular new
intention to limit rate increases to CPI. This was a known factor prior to setting this year’s budget. This raises the question of what were the planned rate increases in percentage terms in future years to enable these capital works to be undertaken? One must also ask where the additional revenue that is being raised from the increased number of dwellings on what were once single dwelling blocks is being spent. Furthermore, it was also mentioned that the waste service costs will increase by 9.5 per cent. How is this possible, surely the contract for these services must have contained efficiency and cost reduction targets to keep rises at or under CPI. Haven’t the council heard of saving for a rainy day? Richard Kenny, via email
development in Dandenong. Finally, Dandenong has some colour and a place to be proud of. The unfortunate part is the “bogans“ will probably ultimately have an input towards this installation, in the form of vandalising and defacing it within weeks, so there is a good chance this sign will be torn down soon anyway. At the moment, however, I am a big fan of it. And just for the record, I am not a bogan. Sarah Whelan: Councillor Peter Brown, surely the City of Greater Dandenong has more significant issues to address than a sign you deem to be an abomination? I guess you like to grandstand. Are you at all concerned with homelessness, families affected by family violence, crime, children going to school hungry etcetera? Grow up and do the job you were elected to do. Dave Williamson: Looks good! Darren Pronk: Looks great.

By CASEY NEILL FAMILY violence victims can find support at Dandenong and District Benevolent Society. Opportunity shop manager Margaret Ladner is offering help to anyone fleeing a physically, emotionally or economically abusive home life. “I would like the people of Dandenong to know that there is a door here,” she said. “I would love them to come in and we’ll give them any help they need. I’ve been known to take them home.” Ms Ladner and her team distributes clothes and food, and refer victims to organisations which specialise in accommodation and other support. “We’d have two or three a week coming in,” she said. “I try to keep in touch with them, especially if they have kids. We had a girl in here and
she had a six-month-old baby, no food, nowhere to go.... “They feel forgotten, they feel no-one wants to hear their stories. “And it’s such a stigma, you don’t want to tell your family, you don’t want to tell your friends - or your family don’t want to know. “My mother used to say ‘you made your bed, you lie in it’. That was the old-fashioned way. “The man was the boss. “That’s definitely still happening and I’d hate to think anybody didn’t know we were here to help them.” Society president Wilma Southern was pleased to see family violence being put in the spotlight. “People are taking more notice of it, I do think that,” she said. She used to work at wel-
fare service Cornerstone Contact Centre in Dandenong with Mandy Ahmadi, also known as Zahara Rahimzadegan. In June last year her husband Nasir Ahmadi was jailed for 11 years after pleading guilty to strangling her and burying her in their Ashwood backyard in December 2011. “She started a hair dressing salon. She taught people how to do the hairdressing and did it all for nothing,” Ms Southern said. “Her husband used to do odd-jobs around Cornerstone. “He thought she was flirting with someone in Cornerstone and he killed her. “I knew her well. She was a lovely lady who did all she could to help others. She had two sons.” Dandenong and District Benevolent Society is at 305 Thomas Street, Dandenong, Contact 9793 3736.

MPs get cross over crossings She described the move as “an act of treachery against the Victorian people”. But South Eastern Metropolitan Region Greens MP Nina Springle said: “The Greens absolutely support the removal of level crossings and, indeed, anything else that improves Melbourne’s rail network.” She told the Journal that Ms Williams’s claims stemmed from the Greens and Liberal Party opposing the State Government’s moves to privatise
the Port of Melbourne. The proceeds from the sale are earmarked to fund the grade separations. “We oppose the sale. The port is one of Victoria’s few remaining strategic assets and a private monopoly will be bad for farmers, exporters and Victoria in general,” Ms Springle said. “The Greens are completely supportive of level crossing removals. We want all of these crossings removed,” Ms Springle said.

The highly visual children’s opera will travel around Victoria introducing the high energy stage show for the first time to many people. Having travelled to the UK with his career, Mr Raggio said opera is much more accessible than people realise. “Opera doesn’t have to be an inaccessible thing. It’s a sophisticated art form but it’s an accessible one. “I think before we had movies, opera was a way of having a visual, confronting and cathartic experience. "Our development over the
past 500 years has changed things but there’s still a need to express stories and music and opera is a way of building the emotional gap and it takes you into the emotion of the characters through a spectacle,” he said. Mr Raggio encourages all parents and schools to be brave and introduce opera as a way of heightening their child’s development. “I really love performing to kids, I love hearing how they respond to the show, you don’t expect them to laugh at things they laugh at - they take it at their level and seeing them laugh always gives me joy,” he said.

DANDENONG opera singer Eugene Raggio is singing the praises of his art. He says the soothing tones of Hansel and Gretel's musical script is not so grim and even helps young children's development. Mr Raggio has conducted choirs for 14 years and said landing the role of Father Peter in the Opera Australia Brothers Grimm production has been “a real treat”. “It feels like I’m coming home going to work - the kids really respond to opera and the experience so far singing for them has been really rewarding,” Mr Raggio said. The 50-minute show allows children to ask questions and Mr Raggio said the young audience clearly enjoys the music. “I can say they respond in a really literal way. “I was exposed to opera quite young and, like all things, kids take in what they are ready to take in but it is really important they start appreciating more sophisticated music at a young age which can help in all areas of their development,” he said. Mr Raggio said a child’s ears are more likely to develop to a more sophisticated level at a young age, “especially in the first four years of their development”. “If this performance of Hansel and Gretel is the only exposure they’re going to get it’s a very important one and it’s a

Patsy born to be a nurse OBITUARY Patsy Lyons 1925 - 2015 PATSY Lyons, who was matron at Dandenong Hospital for ten years, devoted her life to caring for others. Patsy was born in Dublin, Ireland, on 9 December 1925, the only daughter of Elizabeth and Patrick Lyons. When she was about 18, Patsy followed in her mother’s footsteps and left Dublin for England where she trained to be a nurse – the beginning of a 40 year career. When she completed her general training, Patsy returned to Dublin and undertook maternity training. Delivering the eulogy at Patsy’s funeral, her brother Bernard recalled a neighbour in Dublin who called her
new daughter ‘Patsy’ because of the wonderful help offered by Patsy during the birth. Bernard emigrated to Australia and in 1952 persuaded his sister to join him. Patsy nursed at the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital, the Warracknabeal and Myrtleford hospitals, before returning to Ireland in 1954. In the late 1960s, she again moved to Australia, this time with her mother and two other brothers. She was immediately employed as a charge sister at Dandenong Hospital. Patsy subsequently became deputy matron and then director of nursing. During her tenure she saw the hospital grow from around 90 patients to 350. “She loved the hospital and its staff,” Bernard said. “She always emphasised that she was a nurse and that the patient was of
Patsy Lyons. paramount importance. “She used to tell the nurses that they should always remember that without the patients, they would not be needed. “She loved her staff and made sure
that she maintained a very close rapport with them, a bond, which lasted in many cases, for the rest of her life.” In her retirement, Patsy was awarded a life membership of Rotary for her work at the hospital. Patsy loved the outdoors and enjoyed annual trips to Binna Burra in the Hinterland of the Gold Coast. She loved Australia and travelled extensively, particularly in the outback. In later life Patsy suffered severe arthritis in both knees and spinal pain caused by 40 years of nursing. Despite this, Bernard recalled many happy holidays the pair enjoyed together. “She was very organised and on driving holidays would say, ‘Bernard you have been driving now for three hours, pull in to that roadside stop over there’. “She would then produce a flask of
boiling water, tea bags, sugar, milk and sandwiches from her esky which was termed her magic box.” Several times a week, Patsy used to take her beloved dog ‘Skippy’ to the Springvale Cemetery to visit her mother’s grave. The grave was always easy to find because it was always decorated with flowers thanks to Patsy. Patsy loved her religion and the church. She loved Noble Park and particularly St Anthony’s Catholic Church. Patsy lived the last years of her life at a nursing home in Mount Waverley. In her final days individual members of staff would come into her room frequently crying and expressing their love for her. Pasty died on 8 June. She was farewelled by a large congregation of family, friends and former colleagues and patients at St Anthony’s.
Tribal shipmates’ shore leave NAVAL veterans converged on Dandenong RSL last month with a focus on destroyers. Shipmates from Tribal class destroyers Arunta, Bataan and Warramunga joined with their partners and friends for their annual Tribal Luncheon on 23 June. Naval Association of Australia Dandenong section secretary John Laughton said guests included Arunta president Ellen Shiels and HMAS Cerberus’s Commander John Goss and commanding officer Captain Stephen Bowater. Mr Laughton said the Bataan and Warramunga crews forged an historic tie during a treacherous operation during the Korean War.

MELBOURNE AUCTION SALES HIT ALL-TIME HIGH Victoria’s housing market has broken another record with the highest number of auction sales over any six-month period in Melbourne’s history - in the year to 30 June. Just over 13,000 homes were sold at auction over the past six months, compared to about 12,400 over the same period last year. The big growth in sales was driven by outer Melbourne suburbs which saw a 20 per cent year-on-year increase - to 2263 auction sales this year (compared to 1879 in the first half 2014).

In other results, four eastern Melbourne suburbs recorded the highest year-on-year increase in the number of auctions - Mount Waverley, Wantirna South, Glen Waverley and Bayswater. Others in the top 10, which covered all of Victoria, were Rosebud and Shepparton. “Melbourne’s east has seen some of the strongest growth in buyer activity and in median prices in Melbourne this year, leading to
REIV CEO Enzo Raimondo said Melbourne’s reputation continued to grow as the auction capital of Australia with traditionally private-sale suburbs now turning to auctions as buyer numbers trend upwards. “The growth in auction sales in outer Melbourne has helped push the city’s clearance rate to a high 80 per cent, compared to 73 per cent this time last year,” he said. Mr Raimondo said the large increase in auction sales in outer Melbourne reflects several factors, including a growing interest from owner occupiers in areas which
many more auctions in this region,” Mr Raimondo said. Other key statistics included: * The 2015 auction capital is Reservoir - for the second successive year; * One suburb, Wantirna South, has seen a 100 per cent increase in auctions this year - from 36 for the first six months last year to 72 this year; * The inner Melbourne suburb with most auctions this year is Richmond - where 230 homes have gone to auction, with 186 selling.

Print does the job on employment Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online. Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print. Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

DANDENONG West Primary School received 14 bicycles and helmets from the Ride2School Bicycle Network on Monday 15 June. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams attended the official handover assembly and said to win the bikes was an impressive achievement. “Dandenong West Primary beat more than 1000 schools to win the $5000 grant for a class set of new bikes,” she said. Ms Williams said the bicycles would allow the school to encourage safe cycling habits. “I think it’s wonderful… as someone who’s cycled a bit in my time its important kids know how to ride safely and enjoy the activity and keep safe with other road users.” The carefully chosen bikes have adjustable seats so grades three to six will be able to use them. Wellbeing worker at the school, Filiz Omer, said the bikes would be used in a new bicycle education program. “Incorporated into physical education, the program will be run with the help of parents and youth workers who have been trained in bike education and will teach many students how to ride a bike,” Ms Omer said. The program will start in term three and will deliver lessons on bike safety, how to ride, road rules and sustainability once a week. “Most our students don’t have a bike at home and don’t

Nida enjoys thirst for life By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG businesswoman Nida Iqbal has constantly sought more from life and wants other refugees to have the chance to do the same. Her father was executed without knowing his daughter existed. Her mother wasn’t even aware of the life they had created when she lost the man she loved - targeted because he supported education and was born a Hazara. “Hazara killings have always been very common in Afghanistan,” Nida said. “They want ethnic cleansing and in ethnic cleansing Hazaras always come first because they’re the minority.” Nida’s mother – a Pashtun, married her late husband’s younger brother, breaking social expectations for a second time. “In 1989 we fled Afghanistan because we just couldn’t be there anymore and the war was getting pretty bad,” Nida said. “My stepdad fled first, to Pakistan, and then after that we came.” “We” included Nida, her dad’s sister, her mum, and her 40-day-old sister. “We fled in the back of trucks full of bombs and hand grenades,” the Cranbourne resdient said. “I was eight years old. “It took us about two and a half weeks to get through to Pakistan because we could only journey through the night.” They had to start their lives from zero, with a new language and culture. “My mum and dad were both teachers in Pakistan in local schools, schools for Afghan refugees in Quetta,” Nida said. “Life started settling a little bit but we always knew that it was not home and worried ‘what will happen when the Pakistan Government actually starts pushing Afghans to go back home?’ “We knew that we would never be able to go back to Afghanistan. “I have never been back. “When you’re very traumatised like my family is, it’s not home anymore. “Apart from a very big fear you don’t have any other attachment.” Nida and her family lived in Pakistan until 1998.

“Our life was pretty normal. It had ups and downs of poverty and living below the line, but it was OK,” she said. “When the Taliban came into power in Afghanistan they, basically, stopped education and work for girls and women in Afghanistan. “Being from a family that really valued education, it really affected me.” She made a presentation on the issue at her school. “It was published in the media and then I was threatened to be killed with my family,” she said. “I was just 18. “We left everything behind and went to Islamabad, which is the capital city of Pakistan.”
They told the United Nations their story. The organisation moved them from hotel to hotel and lodged applications for refuge with Canada and Australia. “Of course we had heard of Canada but never Australia,” Nida said. “We landed in Melbourne on 26 November 1998. “I remember one of the first things I said to mum was ‘what if there was a war there? Where would we go? We can’t even swim’. “I was so used to fleeing from one border to another border, never having consistency in life.” They again started from zero staying with an Afghan family. They moved into their own home on Warrigal Road in Cheltenham, “in
the middle of nowhere”. “We had no transport. We had no English whatsoever,” she said. “Those were very hard times.“ Nida was 19 but enrolled in Year 10 at South Oakleigh Secondary College. “I finished Year 12 with a 71 ENTER score which wasn’t a lot, but considering I’d only been in school for three years it was pretty good.” Nida started a Bachelor of International Trade at university in 2002 and met her husband, accountant Shahid. “I suck at economics and maths and I failed maths in Year 12,” she said. “I was in our economics class and we had a test the following day. He always sat at the front of the class.” So Nida and a friend asked him for help at lunchtime.
“He helped us and the following morning I sat next to him and I copied everything in his test,” she said. “I got better marks than him in that test!” She started a diploma in community development after completing her degree in 2005 and has been involved in the sector since. “Then I was very interested in assisting families because I could see they were being charged a lot of money to be reunited with their families,” she said. “In 2009 I decided to do my graduate certificate in migration law and practice to be able to help them. In 2010 I got my licence as a migration agent.” Nida gave birth to her daughter, Arooj, in 2011 and just two years later started a law degree with a desire to be able to better represent her clients at her Dandenong agency. “I only study part-time, I’m only – I can’t even say half way there, but getting there slowly,” she said. “I haven’t stopped struggling to make something and I don’t think I will stop. “It makes me so sad that I am so proud of being here and there are so many opportunities that you can grab, yet the current government does not give refugees like myself a chance. “We are not a burden. “We are shattered, we are absolutely broken, but we can do things. “My mum works as a hand-finisher in a bridal gown company. My dad works as a chef in a restaurant. “My sister has just finished university and she’s a beautician, the young one is studying law. “This is a family of five that came to Australia with nothing.” Nida said the immigration system left refugees and asylum seekers hanging, creating depression and anxiety. “In Afghanistan they just get shot or hanged, but in Australia we’re killing them slowly,” she said. “It makes me very angry. “I’m so disappointed that I had this opportunity, my family had this opportunity, yet I am sitting in front of a client who did not have the opportunity. “Sometimes all I can do is cry.”
Residents called together to consider plans for India hub By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS PUBLIC meetings will help decide whether Dandenong’s Little India will retain its title as Melbourne’s eminent Indian cultural precinct. The State Government recently announced public meetings in Dandenong, Werribee and Melbourne CBD
in July and August to decide on the precinct’s location. It has committed $500,000 towards the precinct’s development. The government’s 11-member advisory panel has short-listed Dandenong as well as the City of Casey, Glen Waverley, Melbourne CBD, Footscray and Point Cook as possible sites.
Since the state election, traders in Dandenong have fiercely lobbied for the precinct to be retained in the 20-year-old Little India district. Multicultural Affairs Minister Robin Scott said the Indian Cultural Precinct would recognise the Indian community’s important contribution to Victoria.
“(It) will be a place to hold festivals, a hub to support business, a drawcard for tourism and a meeting place for the entire community.” The advisory panel is expected to decide the location by the end of August. Written public submissions can be sent to omac@dpc.vic.gov.au by mid-
night on 4 August. The Dandenong public meeting is at Drum Theatre, corner Lonsdale and Walker streets, Dandenong, on 23 July from 6pm to 7.30pm. Book a place through the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship on 9651 0628 or omac@dpc.vic.gov. au before 21 July.

Cancer pirates cross swords By GEORGIA WESTGARTH EYE patches, swords, parrots and black beards took over the classrooms at Yarraman Oaks Primary School as students sailed aboard a ship of giving. Friday 12 June was unlike most Fridays at the primary school with students and teachers dressed up in their finest pirate attire to raise money toward prevention and cure for childhood brain tumours. Pirate Day Friday is a national fundraising day for what is the biggest killer of children in Australia with more than 620 cases diagnosed every year. School wellbeing officer Alyssa Sewell said the school raised $244 towards the cause.
“We had a pirate parade in the morning and a colouring competition organised by Coles Noble Park who gave out lots of prizes and their manager also dressed up as a pirate,” Ms Sewell said. The annual event was designed to help raise awareness and funds towards new treatments for the deadly cancer. Ms Sewell said the children have been briefed on what the day was all about. “There’s been a focus on why we are dressing up and brain cancer was mentioned at the morning assembly,” she said.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Dip in for Yumi foods By CASEY NEILL YUMI’S is not just a dip brand - it’s a man. Benjamin Friedman founded the business in a Ripponlea fresh fish shop more than 20 years ago. The Hebrew pronunciation of Benjamin is with a Y in place of the J. “The Hungarians call Benjamins Yumi for short,” his brother and Yumi’s CEO Michael Friedman said. “He was in the front of the shop selling kosher fish. There was wholesale at the back. “When the guy at the back of the shop moved out I bought in and became partner.” That was in 1992. Benjamin and Michael’s grandfather bought a Canadian fish business that specialised in mayonnaise-based dips. “We went overseas and we learnt how to make the mayonnaise and mix it with fish and make a dip out of that,” Mr Friedman said. “We built a small smokehouse and started making fish dips. “We sold that in our shop and we sold that in kosher shops in our area and then kosher shops in Sydney, and that’s how it started.” Today Yumi’s employs more than 100 people in Hallam and there are plans to double its size in the next four to five years. The company moved into supermarkets and introduced vegetable dips - still manufacturing in the back of the fish shop. “We couldn’t fit in the shop anymore so we hired a warehouse around the corner just to be able to store things,” Mr Friedman said. Yumi’s built a factory in Cheltenham in 1999 but the company grew so fast that within a year it rented a factory across the road to store raw ingredients. “Then about 2006, 2007 we bought another building across the road from the main factory and we moved the offices and despatched to that site and we turned the whole factory into manufacturing,” he said. “The business grew and grew until we decided
Shaun and Marcus check for quality. 140986 we couldn’t keep working from three places on one street.” The company bought its Wedgewood Road site in 2011. Yumi drove its transformation from an empty shell to custom-built plant in five months. “That would take a normal builder 18 months,” Mr Friedman said. “He’s a pusher, he likes to get things done. That’s his motto. That’s how we’ve grown. “We’re very close to outgrowing the site.” He never thought the business would reach the heights it has. “We’ve always pushed to take it to the next level,” Mr Friedman said. “But did we have this vision? No, probably not this big. “Today we sit around a board room talking about strategy but back then it wasn’t like that, you just got up and did it.
Pictures: GARY SISSONS “We just pushed very hard, got the contracts and did it.” He said the key was “making real dips like you make them at home” instead of flavoured cream cheese. “We saw a niche in the market,” he said. Other salmon dips were made with 80 per cent cream cheese. They used 50 per cent fish. “Nobody else does that,” he said. “There’s no fillers. There’s no breadcrumbs. “I get phone calls from flavouring companies saying ‘I could sell you this flavour or that flavour’. “We don’t use flavours, we use kitchen ingredients. “All the ingredients you’ve got at home in your pantry we use here, we just buy them in bulk.” All products are gluten free, dairy free and kosher. “We don’t use any dairy. In kosher you use
separate kitchens for dairy and separate kitchens for meat. You can’t mix those two,” he said. “If we had dairy you couldn’t use any of my products in a meat kitchen. “And kosher dairy is quite involved. High level you have a supervisor at the farms. “We would love to because one of the biggest dips is tzatziki and French onion and spring onion. “At the moment we don’t even play in that market. If we were going to do that we would have to open another factory across the road. “We’ve thought about it a lot but we haven’t done it.” The next growth area for Yumi’s is not in dips. “We’re doing the vegetarian bites and were looking to expand in other areas in chilled foods,” Mr Friedman said. “It’s growing and we’ve got a lot of new product development.” The business was growing so fast in 2013 that the Friedmans decided it was too big to remain a family business. “We sold off a lot of it to a private equity fund. We’re now owned partly by the Freidman family still - which is me and my brother - and partly by this equity fund, like a partnership,” he said. “But they’re not involved. They’re in Sydney and we see them once a month for a board meeting.” The fund injected money and set up structures that were previously absent from the business, like an operations manager and a chief financial officer. “We work well together,” he said. But the Friedmans still own and run Ripponlea Fish Shop. “My mum sits at the cash register and I’ve got four or five staff,” Mr Friedman said. “I drop in every morning. “The shop sells mainly fresh fish. They do a lot of fried fish and they sell all the products that are made here.”
Looking through to the future Unwanted mail on post office jobs
By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG’S Viridian Glass and BOC have signed up to extend their relationship to half a century. In recent weeks the glass manufacturer and gas and engineering company agreed to a new 10-year supply contract that will secure Viridian’s ongoing compressed air, hydrogen and nitrogen gas needs. Viridian Glass, a division of CSR Building Products, is the only float glass manufacturing facility in Australia. It makes glass sheets by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, creating a uniform thickness and flat surface. BOC’s nitrogen generator plant in Dandenong is connected to Viridian’s site through a pipeline that under the new agreement has received a 20 per cent capacity upgrade. BOC tonnage account manager Hugh Jones said this was to support Viridian’s growing production needs and keep it competitive in the global glass manufacturing market. “BOC and Viridian have worked together in Dandenong for more than 40 years, serving the production demands of the float glass industry in Australia since 1974,” he said. “This new agreement strengthens our partnership and shows the confidence that both our companies have in the local manufacture of float glass, which relies heavily on the reliable supply of nitrogen gas.” Viridian supply chain general manager Warren Seal said securing long-term supply agreements for its hydrogen and nitrogen gas requirements was critical for Viridian to meet growing demand from the construction market. “Securing long-term supply arrange-

specialised architectural glass products, shorter lead times relative to imports, and extensive product warranties which it can support as the only float glass manufacturer in the region.”
JOBS at the Dandenong South letter sorting centre hang in the balance, with Australia Post forecasting a $500 million loss. But the situation is not as dire as Australia Post managing director and group CEO Ahmed Fahour is making out, according to the Communication Workers Union. Mr Fahour said a significant and ongoing decline in physical mail meant there was less work in the mail service. “We forecast in the next three years there will be a gradual reduction in jobs across the mail network because of this dramatic shift in consumer behaviour,” he said. “I have made a commitment that there will be no forced redundancy of staff impacted directly by changes in our mail service and who are actively seeking jobs in other parts of the business.” But Communication Workers Union Victorian secretary Joan Doyle said Mr Fahour made the announcement to try to push changes through parliament. “He wants to put up the prices of stamps and to reduce the service,” she said. “This is his way of lobbying by media release. “He’s trying to create a crisis. “There’s actually no new announcement about cuts or anything new that’s happening. “That’s not to say that there won’t be some job losses.”
Ms Doyle said the union had agreed to 25 voluntary redundancies this year, and Australia Post had recently bought new letters sorting equipment. “That will probably mean a few more jobs go, but nothing like he’s trying to say,” she said. “We think one job would do. “We want Ahmed Fahour to go. “He doesn’t understand postal administration and he just wants to make a big profit.” Ms Doyle said Postal Act regulations required Australia Post to provide mail the next day in metropolitan areas. She said Mr Fahour wanted to make next-day delivery a new service and charge $1.50 for a priority stamp. “This is his way of saying ‘Australia Post are going broke, I really need this, let me have my way’,” she said. “Since Mr Fahour has been in charge, Australia Post have increased their revenue by $1.5 billion a year. “Money that they make from the parcels and from identity services and retail stores outweighs any loss they make in letters. “The parcels in Victoria have increased by 20 per cent “The same retail shops are involved in both letters and parcels, the same trucks, the same drivers, processing centres. “To have this artificial divide between small addressed letters is really silly.”

BUSINESS PROFILE
By CASEY NEILL YOUNG adults with disabilities are on the path to employment thanks to Wallara. The disability support service last month celebrated two groups of clients achieving new skills. Wallara training manager Ellen Burns said one group undertook non-accredited hospitality training internally with Wallara staff and a nonaccredited barista course with an independent provider. Group two complete an accredited barista course at a city venue and an accredited food handling course with a local provider as well as participating in the staff-run hospitality course. “We now envisage both groups progressing to the next stage - group one to undertake the accredited training and group two sourcing external work experience to enhance their skills and exposure to the hospitality industry,” Ms Burns said. “Both groups participated in external industry visits getting an idea of the skills required to work in the sector, which is ultimately what they would like to eventually achieve.”

He’s a revelation By JARROD POTTER A METEORIC football ascension continued this week as Gach Nyuon earned a pair of stellar accolades. Nyuon, 18, from Springvale, just recorded the best week of his short football career with his Vic Country side claiming the AFL Under-18 National Championship with a perfect six-from-six winning record. In the carnival’s final match on Thursday against Western Australia, the 200cm high-flying Dandenong Stingrays’ ruck-man starred, generating 29 hit outs to give first use to his midfield team mates. The hard graft of knocking over South Australia, Western Australia and heated rivals Vic Metro, led to a dead-rubber on Thursday, but Western Australia toiled to stay in it. But their resolve was quashed by Vic Country in a 32-point win and Nyuon could hardly believe it, especially once his hardearned national championship’s medallion was wrapped around his neck. “It means the world to be honest at the moment,” Nyuon said. “It’s a great feeling, I’ve lost my voice from the excitement and it’s awesome, especially winning at 18s and 16s.” Nyuon pegged the team’s success
to its tight knit work rate - especially under new coach Paul Henriksen who had the side at the under-16 level. “Six-and-zero, so we just played team footy… go out and do whatever the coach tells us to go out and do,” Nyuon said. “Probably just the boys - last year I was trying to fit in, but these boys I’ve known since under-16s and it makes it pretty much a lot easier.” Coach Henriksen believes Nyuon’s rise through the ranks is remarkable considering he’s still fairly new to the game - Nyuon only picked up the Australian code in 2012. “He’s a revelation,” Henriksen said. “Had him at 16s as well… he was a bit green back then with his footy, so to speak, but his efforts throughout the last couple of games have been outstanding and he’s growing and developing very quickly.” Continuing the stellar news, it was announced on Saturday morning that Nyuon along with team mates Jacob Weitering and Keiran Collins were also selected in the Under-18 All Australian team. Picked for the key spots in the All Australian line-up; Nyuon (ruck), Weitering (centre-half-back) and Collins (full back) - the trio have set not a foot
Destanee written on the fridge
wrong in their bids to join the AFL. Three seasons in and Nyuon has ticked off every task asked of him along the way - Vic Country under-16 national champion, AFL Academy representative, Dandenong Stingrays’ player and now Vic Country under-18 national champion and All Australian. There remains one last challenge for him this season - getting back to TAC Cup and hopefully pushing his beloved Dandenong Stingrays, currently sitting third in the competition, towards finals and beyond. Nyuon wanted to thank everyone throughout Vic Country, Stingrays and especially his family for getting right behind his football dream. “Just wanted to thank the coaches, docs and everyone who looks after us behind the scenes and especially my family,” Nyuon said. “They’ve been to every game I’ve played in Victoria so far so they’ve been pretty good for me.” For more on Vic Country’s national championships’ win, turn to page 52 of the Dandenong Journal.

Destanee Aiava’s trophy collection just continues to grow. 115727 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT
By RUSSELL BENNETT THE accolades just continue to pour in for Narre Warren’s own ace of the junior international tennis scene, Destanee Aiava. Earlier this week at the Victorian Tennis Awards she continued her winning streak to claim the Female Junior Athlete of the Year award for the third time running. Destanee - who splits her time between Noble Park Tennis Club and Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club - was named Female Junior Athlete of the Year at Australian Tennis’ night of nights, the Newcombe Medal, last year. Following an extended training block in 2013, she started the last calendar year off with a bang - reaching the third round of the Australian Junior Open at Melbourne Park in her first attempt at her home Grand Slam event. Still just 15-years-old, she followed that up with another third-round appearance this year. Destanee is coached by Andrea Stoltenberg - the wife of former Australian world number-19 Jason, and herself a former WTA player. She may seem shy and unassuming
away from the court, but Destanee lets her power-packed game do all the talking on it. While her incredible physical fitness is a major asset, she describes her mental strength as the biggest key. “That side is just as strong as the physical for me,” she told the News in an extended interview last year. And mum Rosie agrees. “They both go hand-in-hand - her coach changed her game to just improve the base of it and work on a few technical things like getting her timing right,” she added. The youngster is already known for her tireless work ethic and drive to succeed. When the News first spoke with Aiava way back in 2012, she explained that she pinned a list of goals on the fridge and ticked them off one-by-one as she accomplished them. On that list with a bullet - “Become world number one”. Destanee gave one simple reason as to why she’s able to go toe-to-toe on court with players far longer into their tennis journeys than she is. “My game is more aggressive,” she said
Andrew Bogut signs autographs for fans at Foot Locker’s Melbourne CBD store. 141239 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT
By RUSSELL BENNETT ANDREW Bogut is far from the stereotypical NBA star. Bogut has never been afraid to speak his mind, but he’s never sought the limelight, and he’s certainly never been part of the party scene or a regular on TMZ. Soon after the Endeavour Hills product, now 30, won the 2014-15 NBA title with the Golden State Warriors he treated himself, but it wasn’t with diamonds or jewels - his championship ring has enough of those. Instead he bought himself an Aussie muscle car - a Ford XW GT Phase II. He’s long been a petrol head having partnered with his father in ABC Customs and Imports, a rarecar restoration business in Dandenong South. In fact, he credits Dandenong and its surrounds for instilling a sense
of toughness in him that has helped shape him into the player, and person, he is. “Growing up around Dandy you’ve got to be street-smart and have a toughness about you just walking home from school,” Bogut said at Foot Locker’s Swanston Street store in a meet-and-greet with fans on Thursday. “It’s a working class suburb and if you’re soft and scared people will take advantage of you so I grew up being the tougher guy. “At times it was perceived the wrong way but that’s kind of what the area forced me to do. “I think it definitely shaped me into who I am today.” Bogut, a former first overall NBA draft pick, didn’t play a minute of the Warriors’ decisive Game’s victories (Games 5 and 6) over LeBron James
and his Cleveland Cavaliers. He admitted that at the start of the season, under new head coach Steve Kerr, the concept of team sacrifice was a bit of a culture shock. “My first DNP-CD (Did Not Play - Coach’s Decision) was Game-5 of an NBA Finals,” he said. “We all sacrificed… we had a bunch of guys who’d been All-Stars - I’d been All-NBA one year and All-Defensive Team, David Lee was a two-time All-Star, (Finals MVP) Iguodala had been an All-Star - we’ve all accomplished those individual accolades and realised they don’t really get you that far. “People don’t remember all those individual accolades. “When you win a Championship ring, whether you’re the first guy or the 15th guy on the roster, you’re remembered in history forever.”

Noble cause for Bulls By JARROD POTTER EFL DIVISION 1 - Round 12
Vic Country’s unbeaten national championship campaign finished on Thursday with the Big V lads scoring a 32-point win over Western Pictures: JARROD POTTER Australia to take the National Championship. 141285
AFL UNDER-18 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS - Round 6
A Big V for victory! By JARROD POTTER PUTTING the icing on the cake, Vic Country’s amazing winning streak was extended to six as it wrapped up the AFL Under-18 National Championships title. Finishing the carnival on Thursday afternoon at the Cattery - Simonds Stadium, Geelong - Vic Country notched a 32-point triumph to secure a rare unbeaten record. Western Australia put up a dogged effort - improving dramatically on their last performance against the Big V earlier in the carnival, where a 100-point thrashing was doled out to the Swans. The early possession belonged to Vic Country as Darcy Parish (29
disposals), Jarrod Berry (22) and Joe Maishman (21) had it on a string. But their best efforts weren’t rewarded as the forwards failed to kick truly and ended up clunking 15 behinds in a lacklustre day in front of goals. Despite battling back into the match in the third term - kicking three goals to one - the Swans just didn’t have the tank to go with Vic Country as the home side kept them goalless in the final term to earn the national championship. For starring up forward throughout the carnival booting 18 goals Murray’s mountainous forward Josh Schache was named both the Vic Country MVP and the Larke Medallist for best Division-1 player in the
championships. Gippsland in-and-under forward Ben Ainsworth was exceptional up front for Vic Country - swooping on anything in his area to boot five goals and cap off an exceptional carnival that will have selectors keen to call his name come November’s draft. Dandenong midfielder Kurt Mutimer relished his chance through the midfield, snaring 20 possessions in his best performance for Vic Country while Gach Nyuon had 29 hit-outs and toiled all day against Western Australia’s talls. Vic Country coach Paul Henriksen - who also coached many of these players at the under-16 Vic Country level - said it was fantastic
to take the side back to another national championship. “It’s been a fantastic effort and the players have to take full credit for that,” Henriksen said. “They were always a talented group and I had them at under-16 level and we had success there… to have the opportunity to have them and coach them again this year, thanks to Leon Harris who appointed me, has been everything I’ve asked.”For more on the Vic Country championship success, including interviews with captain Jacob Weitering and cult hero ruckman Gach Nyuon, keep an eye on the Dandenong Journal website www.dandenong.starcommunity.com.au.
TAC CUP - Round 12
Stingrays put wind up Cannons By JARROD POTTER THE Highgate Reserve typhoon tried to play its old tricks on Dandenong, but the elusive Stingrays held on to claim win number eight. The howling breeze flew straight up the field at the wind-friendly, but player, coach, runner and supporter unfriendly Craigieburn oval. It played havoc with Dandenong’s chances as the Stingrays booted onegoal-nine in a horror first term. Cory Machaya was the only player to capitalise on the breeze in the first term, slotting the sole goal compared to the nine other shots squandered by the Stingrays. The home side savoured the wind and flew along the ground to seize the lead and send the Stingrays back to the drawing board at half-time. The one-two forward line punch of Jimmy Freeman (3 goals) and Josh Battle proved a sight to behold as the duo kept the Cannons from blasting away with it. Gut-run and determination was all the coaches could rely on in the freezing, slippery conditions as Robert Turnbull, Sam Pickess and Machaya upped the ante when called on. A 27-point buffer at the final margin, kicking against the wind, was always going to be tough, but
somehow the Stingrays managed to break the seasons-long Highgate hoodoo and hold on. Livewire forward Darcy Warke stole the show as he crumbed a match-defining goal against the zipping zephyr, but the Cannons weren’t done from there. Two more goals flew for the home side in the dying minutes to bring the margin back to seven points, but the Cannons couldn’t finish it off despite a gallant performance. “There was a bit of wind blowing to one end and it was really wet - so it was a hard slog,” Dandenong coach Craig Black said. “We probably didn’t take our opportunities in the first quarter, kicking one goal nine, if we hit the scoreboard a bit more regularly… five goals or something, we might’ve put them under the pump. “Really good third quarter - Josh Battle kicked a goal within thirty seconds - then in the last term we held them off. “Thought we’d need to kick at least one goal into the breeze and Darcy Warke delivered so it was a good result. Black said Jake Lovett got through the match without incident in his TAC Cup return following two months sidelined - while Berwick
PLAYING for more than just the four points, Noble Park and South Croydon battled it out on Saturday for a noble cause. The clubs have played their fair share of tense encounters throughout their respective EFL journeys, but when faced with adversity, the sides found a way to link up in support. A week of football calamity at every level left the match - and its 136-point margin - pushed to the side entirely, isolated from the real goal of the day at South Croydon’s Cheong Reserve. Generosity towards the Bulls’ family has never been forgotten and this week, it was Noble Park’s turn to step up and return the favour to help a friend. The Noble Park football community embrace an effort to support South Croydon trainer Monique Kouvaras - who was seriously injured in a car accident earlier this year - helping raise $1000 towards her recovery. This comes after South Croydon rallied behind Craig Anderson and his son Zayn last season for the ‘Shave a Bull Day’ with Bulldogs staying until the late hours of a fairly similar winter Saturday. While off the field there was great generosity, the Bulls were a bit more miserly when it came to letting the Doggies get on the scoreboard. An eight-quarter Bulls’ first term left little doubt as to who would run out victorious, but the Bulldogs rallied to negate the Noble Park run through the second to keep the margin at 54 by the main break. But holding back the Bulls has become an arduous task throughout the EFL this season and South Croydon found that out in the second half with Mick Fogarty’s men rattling off 17 goals to take a 25.16 (166) to 4.6 (30) win. The mighty Bulls’ forward trio - Shayne Allan, Ziggie Alwan and Kyle Martin - drilled four goals each among a fleet of Noble Park goal kickers. Noble Park faces Rowville away on Saturday.
VAFA DIVISION 2 - Round 12 GETTING back on the right track, St John’s brushed off Richmond Central in a hard-earned 26-point win. Spraying their way to the finish line, Ben McGee’s charges booted 11.20 (86) to leave the door open for Richmond Central 8.12 (60). Tim Edwards (4 goals) and Glenn Costas (3 goals) led the scoring for the JOCs while Daniel Abou-Karroum and Liam O’Connor also featured in the best. St John’s maintains a stranglehold on second place in VAFA Division 2 with a 10-2 record going into the break.
VAFA DIVISION 4 MASALA had a tough outing in the cold, with Canterbury thumping the Tigers by 164 points. Jordan Toikalkin kicked the only Masala major. VAFA has a bye this weekend while all SFL clubs were given a bye on Saturday and will resume on 11 July.
DANDENONG SCOREBOARD
A blasting would have been on the cards for Dandenong from coach Craig Black after spraying nine behinds in the first term against Picture: JARROD POTTER Calder. 136883 debutant Ryan Gains got through his first run in the top league without issue. Dandenong stays in touch with the top of the TAC Cup - sitting third by percentage - and face second ranked Murray in a battle of top-ranked Vic Country sides with as an added bonus - their Vic Country stars back in tow for the first round after the Under-18 National Championships. Needless to say, there are tons
of reasons to march down to Shepley Oval on Saturday afternoon and witness the best battle it out from 1.30pm. “There would be a few people waiting for this game - I suspect it should be good,” Black said. “Both teams are full strength and it’s back at our home ground, which we look forward to… and look forward to the boys having a really tough fight… hopefully they’re up for the challenge.”

Power Rangers just slide in By JARROD POTTER SEABL - Round 12 WITH a bigger arsenal than many smaller nations, Dandenong showed it has the firepower upand-down the roster to get the job done against anyone. The Rangers steamrolled Albury-Wodonga 110-61 - launching four quarters above 25 points in an all-round starring effort from an injury and absence ravaged roster. Rangers’ coach Larissa Anderson left the point duties to Bree Whatman (8 points) and Rachel Antoniadou (8 points) and the youthful front court excelled. The tandem brought powerhouses Jacinta Kennedy (33 points), Clare Papavs (30 points) and another youthful star Chloe Bibby (15 points) plenty of possession as the only thing holding back a 100-point win was the mercy of the Dandenong rotation. “It was a great team effort again - it’s a big adjustment for us each week with players in and out and it makes a huge difference to any team not to have your main point guards in,” Anderson said. “I’m super proud of Bree Whatman and Rachel Antoniadou, who are always just ready to slide in - even Amanda Hobba and youngster Navjada George - they all chipped in. “Was great to be able to play everyone and rotate and doing all that from the front defensively.” Andersons’ Rangers will host Launceston in a rematch of last week’s nail biting 69-77 defeat. Dandenong’s men however couldn’t keep the party rolling on Friday evening, downed 90-98 in
an overtime thriller against SEABL heavyweight Mt Gambier. A monster third term - led by Daequon Montreal (32 points, 10 rebounds) and Andrew Harms (21 points) - pushed the Rangers ahead, but Mt Gambier clawed back to force overtime and storm past to maintain home-court supremacy. Matthew Owies (18 points) had his best outing in the Rangers’ colours so far. Dandenong sits third in the SEABL East and will face North West Tasmania at home on Saturday.
BIG V DIVISION 2 KEYSBOROUGH marched past Collingwood 82-63 to all but clinch third spot - or better - in the race towards the BIG V finals. Highlighting why coach of the month honours went to Cougars’ mainstay Nathan Vogt, Keysborough launched out of the blocks to take a 44-26 lead at the half on the back of some monster plays from Malcolm Heard (34 points, 9 rebounds). Collingwood had nothing in its arsenal to stop Heard while the fun continued for the Cougars via Steven Haddrell (17 points) and Adam Sliwinski (12 points). Keysborough face Mornington on Sunday from 1pm. The Cougars’ women were gallant throughout the first half against Casey, but couldn’t match the Cavaliers down the stretch in a 51-76 loss. Billie Lucas (16 points, 10 rebounds) notched her sixth double-double for the year - and fourth in as many weeks - while Ashleigh Wright (12 points, 5 rebounds) also stood tall in defeat. Keysborough heads to Chelsea this weekend.
Rachel Antoniadou is one of Dandenong’s up-and-coming guards making the most of an Picture: JARROD POTTER extended SEABL opportunity. 137839
Can’t complain about his Toy By MICHAEL FLOYD LADY Toy had Sandown Park buzzing with a sensational win in her heat of the McKenna Memorial on Thursday evening. Switching back to the middle distance journey following her recent staying campaign, the well supported second favourite jumped cleanly to sit third behind early leaders What’s Chewing and Kilkee Flex through the first turn. She swept past Kilkee Flex heading onto the back straight to then take What’s Chewing, and powered home to score by a length in 34.06, the fastest time of the night. “She was impressive,” said trainer Brook Ennis. “She came off what I thought were a couple of terrible runs in Brisbane (where she was third in both finals she contested), and we weren’t overly happy with her trial here on the weekend but she jumped well, landed in a good spot and got a nice clean run through the field.” Lady Toy is yet to break through in seven attempts at group level, but has been placed on six occa-
sions including running second in four Group-1 finals. Despite failing to break through at the highest level, Lady Toy has accumulated $287,472 in prize money. “I shouldn’t complain should I?” said Brooke with a laugh. “She keeps going so well. “To keep running second and third at group level shows she’s a very good greyhounds, but she’s just short of the top liners. “She needs that nice clear run early because she lacks that bit of early pace, and like most stayers, she goes better when they have something to chase.” And she will have something to chase in the final. Drawing box 3 the same box from which she won her heat - Lady Toy will be under pressure early with Lektra Concord (box 2) and Ballerino (box 4) both running four lengths faster to the post the first time in their respective heats. Other heat winners Mepunga Tiara (which ran fourth in this race in 2014), Spring Leaf and Know Danger are all experienced at group
Hume-iliation for Thunder By JARROD POTTER NPL TOP LEAGUE hopes are starting to fade for Dandenong Thunder - with seven rounds left to scrape together enough points to stay in the NPL. Battling relegation, Stuart Munro’s men were unable to hold on against FFA Cup-bound Hume City in a 1-3 loss. Yusuf Ahmed continues to be a bright light in an otherwise dull season for Thunder, slotting a dead-ball scramble in the penalty area to peg back the early lead. Sitting second last, Dandenong needs to find a couple of points to leapfrog Werribee City and will start on Tuesday night when it faces Pascoe Vale at home before heading to Port Melbourne on Friday.
NPL 1 EAST Lady Toy winds up for a stellar win on Thursday evening at Sandown Park. Picture: SUPPLIED level ensuring an enthralling final. The $58,000 Group-2 McKenna Memorial is named in honour of the first secretary of the Sandown Greyhound Racing Club, Jack McKenna, who was a lead-
ing administrator in the sport for 36 years. First run over the staying distance in 1971, the race switched to 595m in 2010 and is now the club’s premier event over the middle distance.
WADE Dekker’s solitary goal was enough to brush aside Dandenong City in a 0-1 defeat. Despite the best efforts of Dandy strikers Sean Seavill and Shaun Filipovic, in the battle of Cities, Melbourne City was too mighty. Dandenong City sits sixth and heads to Murray United this weekend. Springvale White Eagles defeated Bendigo City FC 1-0.

By DEREK OGDEN THE new Citroen DS3 has lines that bring to mind the curves and concave lines of a Henry Moore reclining figure or the smooth marble surface of a Barbara Hepworth monolith. The Citroen DS3 DSport compact hatch and cabriolet exteriors exhibit bits of each artists’ unique signatures - clever curves, flowing lines and tactile surfaces. Customisation includes roof, body, exterior mirror housings and wheels - in all 29 individual colour combinations which, when com-
bined with new roof decals, allows for up to 200 options. The new roof decal kits - plane, squares, co-design, perle (polka dot), graphic art, zebra and tribal - each available in a wide range of colours, help ensure no two cars are the same. Cutting edge elements are not restricted to appearance alone, with the car featuring headlights combining LED and Xenon technology with sequential turn indicators, a world first. Capping off the whole combination is a floating roof, a la Mini, and shark fin antenna, giving the
The new Citroen DS3 DSport. DS3 Sport a unique squat, ready-topounce animalistic profile. Inside is no different with equipment reflecting a wide range of trends and lifestyles through customised gear knobs and other accessories in assorted colours, fab-
rics, materials and themes. Up to five occupants are settled in leather upholstered seats in three colours with contrasting stitching, while some components are highlighted with chrome trim, including the DS badge. The dash is set high to increase leg room up front, while thin-back front seats reciprocate the freedom in the rear. A 60:40 folding rear seat boosts the already class-leading boot space of 285 litres. Citroen has really hit it off with the DS3 DSport. This is some car to see and be seen in.
