Steady rates, with a catchBY DANIEL TRAN

MONASH Council rates have risen more thantwice the rate of the consumer price index overthe past five years.

An investigation by the Monash Weekly

found that while CPI has risen 14.79 per centin five years, council rates have jumped33.82 per cent — more than double theinflation rate.

The figures have angered the Monash Rate-payers group.

President Des Olin said some ratepayerswere unable the afford the council’s annualrate rise, which was fixed at 6 per cent for thepast five years.

‘‘The ones that I’m concerned about are thepensioners and the self-retirees who have noway of finding the money (to pay the rates).’’

Monash mayor Micaela Drieberg defendedthe rate rise.

‘‘The short answer is that many of our costsincrease above CPI each year, so that means wehave to increase our revenue above CPI. If wedidn’t increase our revenue, we’d find it hardto keep our heads above the water. We’d haveto look at cutting services instead.’’

Cr Drieberg said the council’s electricity andgas bills increased above CPI every year.

‘‘In the next financial year alone, the amountwe have to pay to the state government todispose of our community’s rubbish at landfillwill rise by 15 per cent to $2.3 million. Staffwages are usually increased above CPI, as isstandard across the government sector.’’

But Mr Olin said the council’s assertion thatits costs were higher than CPI was ‘‘a lot ofrubbish’’.

‘‘(The council) has too many paper shufflers.Every department, every company. . . have tolook within its organisation to survive, andthat’s the same with councils. They have to

budget within their means and this council isproviding policies and so forth that are outsidethe guidelines of local government.’’

Mr Olin listed as an example the council’smove to impose differential rates on pokieoperators in Monash. ‘‘There’s no need to raiserates. If you feel that the organisation’s fat —which I think it is — by trimming it a bit and(making) it more service usable, then people inboth areas can survive.’’

Cr Drieberg disagreed: ‘‘When all is said anddone, Monash has the lowest average rates inmetropolitan Melbourne. We’ve got a strongrecord on keeping our rates low. If we pushedthem any lower, you’d start to notice a realdeterioration in the services we provide.

‘‘Increased rates have enabled us to provideservices and building projects such as bettersports pavilions and the fantastic library andaquatic area at the Clayton CommunityCentre.’’

Re: Kerser gets reprieve, bomb threatmadeYay! Cannot believe the Victorian Premier isallowing this.

Hayley

For starters, he’s not a pit bull. Secondly, he’s got astay of execution because the barristers’ animalwelfare panel are awesome at their job. Nothing todo with threats. You, dear media, are the reasonthere’s so much negativity surrounding ‘‘pit bulls’’.Go meet one from a loving home and tell me how‘‘dangerous’’ they are.

Tamara

Thank god some councils actually enforce breed-specific legislation instead of just registering pitbulls as American Staffordshires. And dogs aren’tbeing killed because of their appearance, it’sbecause of their breed. The pit bull breed waspurposely bred to fight in pits to the death. Theyare literally impervious to pain and almostimpossible to stop once an attack has started. Injur-ies from pit bull attack have been compared withthat of a shark by surgeons. I find it strange thatyou have no problem with innocent people being

maimed, mauled and killed, yet you find it cruel tosee a dog humanely euthanased. Max Gold

I assessed Kerser and he’s a crossbreed, not a pit-bull terrier.

Lynne Harwood, International All Breeds Judge

If you take a look at Premier Denis Napthine’sFacebook page, there is no other topic provoking areaction like this in Victoria. The Liberal Party is soscared they removed every comment about thisfrom their page. I just hope the government listen totheir people and to common sense. Sadly, MonashCouncil has shown cowardice and passed the buckwhile wasting taxpayers’ money. Since when is anycreature judged and condemned based on how theylook alone? Rags

His case now goes back to the law and, hopefully,Kerser and his person will get justice this time —and he will be returned where he belongs — home!

Deb McMillan

Hopefully a DNA test will be allowed during thisstay. This breed-specific approach is outrageouslyexpensive and utterly irrational. Karen Batchelor

The City of Monash will be the greatest and mosthumane city on planet Earth if the ratepayers careabout the wellbeing of their fellow humans as muchas they do with Kerser.

Sin Fong Chan

I actually support breed-specific legislation andwould like to see it go through in my state too.Monash and VCAT are doing no one any favoursby prosecuting in this manner. Court judges don’tconfuse lack of discretion with fair application ofthe law, so why do rangers and city councils have tobehave like robots? Really, I think it’s a good ideato have fewer of these dogs out in the communityand that stricter regulations are sensible, but seizingand destroying is not the way to go — this is justlegitimising the anti-BSL protest.

Jo H

I’m saddened to see what power these councilpeople have in putting a beautiful unaggressive dogon death row. I am appalled at VCAT council mem-bers and the judge, not to forget the Premier. Thislittle dog hasn’t harmed any person or animal, soset him free.

High noon as sheriff nabs fine dodgers

Blitzed: Automatic numberplate technology is enabling the Sheriff’s Office to conduct regular dragnets of fineevaders in the eastern suburbs. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY DANIEL TRAN

THE Sheriff’s Office reaped tens of thousands ofdollars in fines from motorists during a blitz inChadstone recently.

Using automatic numberplate recognitiontechnology, Sheriff’s officers, working along withVictoria Police, scanned about 130 cars andcaught 12 drivers with 206 outstanding warrantstotalling almost $65,000. One driver had 53unpaid warrants estimated at $16,000.

The operation was conducted in WaverleyRoad on May 30.

Nine of the drivers caught in the sting facedhaving their their driver’s licence or registrationsuspended if they failed to arrange to pay thefines within a week. Their fines totalled morethan $57,000.

Three drivers chose to pay their fines — valuedabout $4000 — on the day.

Drivers who continue to ignore the fines riskhaving their car seized or wheels clamped, licencesuspended or even face arrest.

Victorian Sheriff Brendan Facey said driversare given at least three reminders to pay theirfines before warrants are issued.

‘‘Ignoring fines results in additional fees andpenalties added to the original fine amount. It

can result in a warrant being issued against youand Sheriff’s officers taking action and applyingsanctions.

‘‘It is easy for someone to ignore a number offines and in a matter of months owe thousands ofdollars.

‘‘This is why it’s important for people to dealwith their fines early. The earlier you pay yourfine, the less you pay.’’

The Sheriff’s crackdown on fine-dodgers washelped recently with the introduction ofautomatic numberplate recognition technology.

The technology, unveiled in Glen Waverley lastyear, works with the help of special camerasmounted to a sheriff’s car that scans up to 2000numberplates in seconds. The data is thenmatched to a list of cars with fines owing.

In the past, Sheriff’s officers manually enteredregistration numbers into a database to deter-mine whether there were outstanding warrants.

Mr Facey said the operation to catch fine-evaders would continue. ‘‘Payment of fines is notoptional. People are liable for their outstandinginfringements and continuing to ignore them willnot make them go away,” he said.

Rally, bomb threatBY DANIEL TRAN

THE pit bull Monash Council and legalauthorities condemned to death last weekwon an 11th-hour reprieve amid the dramaof mass protest and a bomb threat.

Moves to euthanase the dog, known asKerser, were stalled after legal interventionfrom the Barristers Animal Welfare Panel.

A message on the group’s Facebook pagesaid: ‘‘The Barristers Animal Welfare Panelintervened this afternoon to help secure astay of execution of Kerser, pending filing ofappeal papers.

‘‘The panel has agreed to arrange counselto conduct the appeal.’’

National co-ordinator Anastasia Smietan-ka said the panel became involved after sev-eral members were alerted to the issue andbecause the case involved a fatal decision.

‘‘Breed specific legislation is . . . a law thatis unworkable.

‘‘It’s a law that’s resulted in very negativeanimal welfare consequences.

‘‘It’s a law that a lot of councils havethrown a lot of money at defending,’’Ms Smietanka said.

‘‘In this individual dog’s case, we got

involved because we felt that there was anopportunity . . . to save this individual dog’slife.’’

Monash mayor Micaela Drieberg said thecity respected the owner’s right to exerciseher appeal rights, but it was a big decision toappeal a Supreme Court ruling.

It was ‘‘an even bigger decision’’ consider-ing a preliminary finding that the owner, JadeApplebee of Mount Waverley, could be liablefor council’s costs.

‘‘As a council, sometimes you have to dothings like this that are difficult andemotional,’’ Cr Drieberg said.

‘‘These are state government laws that weare implementing, and the council can’t justpick and choose which laws we follow.

‘‘While there is debate about whether thelaws are too drastic, the fact remains thatwhile these laws are in place, the council islegally required to uphold them.’’

Kerser was initially to be put down late onMonday afternoon at the RSPCA inBurwood.

Protesters had gathered at the RSPCA inorder to voice their discontent but were evac-uated by police from the premises following abomb threat.

and unleashed fury

Pitched battle: Kerser, declared a pit bull, as heappeared six months ago.

The dramatic turn of events followed alast-gasp attempt to save the dog with anonline petition.

The international petition, entitled ‘Save

Kerser from being euthanized! (sic)’ called onPremier Denis Napthine to spare the dog. Itreceived almost 25,000 signatures withindays.

‘‘We are reaching out to you because weknow you can influence this situation so Ker-ser can live,’’ it says.

‘‘As a strong leader with authority, wehumbly request that you advise the VictorianCivil and Administrative Tribunal to workwith Kerser’s mom (sic), Jade, to make differ-ent arrangements for Kerser that will be incompliance with the city.’’

The campaign was led by Canadianwoman Carrie Rogers, who also lists ‘Nomore Foie Gras’ and ‘‘Remove the I hatedogs’ page from Facebook’’, among thecauses she supports.

A Facebook page started by Kerser’sowner, Mount Waverley’s Jade Applebee,received more than 10,000 ‘likes’ and about1700 comments from users across the worldshowing their support.

The page encouraged users to voicesupport for Ms Applebee by contactingDr Napthine, Agricultural Minister PeterWalsh, whose portfolio manages dangerous-dog laws, and Monash councillors.

CCTV Community ConsultationThe Victorian Government is interested in your views and perceptions of closed-circuit TV (CCTV) in the Kingston City Council area.

The Victorian Government provides funding for local councils to help support the installation of public safety CCTV systems to help make communities safer, including the costs of buying and installing CCTV infrastructure such as CCTV cameras and equipment to transmit, monitor and store camera footage.

Available evidence suggests that CCTV can be an eff ective crime prevention tool at a local level, especially when used in combination with other local crime prevention strategies.

First, a confession: I have two bikes andboth of them came from the hard rubbishcollection.

Actually, it was my friends who picked up thebikes, not me, but I have picked up a few treas-ures in my time. An old cane armchair, beauti-fully weathered by rain, sun and time, was a realfind. So was an almost-new vacuum cleaner. Ireplaced it on the hard rubbish with my not-very-good one, and someone soon picked that up, too.

For my friend Frank, who found one of mybikes, the annual hard rubbish collection is betterthan Christmas: so much stuff and all of it free.He has a work ute and often comes home with itpiled with timber, steel, bike wheels, lamps, rugs.Wait long enough, he reckons, and whatever youwant will turn up.

There are local laws against what’s known as‘scavenging’ on hard rubbish but almost every-one does it, either openly or covertly, sneakingback at night with the car or trailer and hopingnot to be sprung.

Two years ago, a police patrol arrested aLilydale man who was trawling through hardrubbish at 2.30am. They waited until he pickedup a vacuum cleaner and put it in his car beforethey nabbed him and took him back to thestation for questioning.

After a massive public outcry, the policeacknowledged that the man hadn’t actually doneanything illegal because Yarra Ranges Councildid not have any local laws against taking hardrubbish.

Since then most councils have moved — or aremoving — from an annual to an at-call collectiondesigned to block professional scavengers wholike to trawl an area.

Casey Council moved to an at-call system twoyears ago. The waste management departmentrecently compared the two systems and foundhigher rates of recycling in the new system, butthat didn’t account for what was unofficially

recycled by scavengers, or ‘gleaners’ in the oldsystem.

Maroondah councillor Les Wilmott, whochairs the Melbourne Metropolitan Waste Man-agement Group, says he still sees people stoppingand picking up stuff — ‘‘if they can use it, goodluck to them”. Last month, the state governmentreleased Getting full value, its waste and resourcerecovery plan.

Environment Minister Ryan Smith said the30-year plan, based on recovering more from thewaste stream, would boost the state’s economy.

The state is latching onto what the Steptoes ofthe world have known for many years: there ismoney in muck.

Melbourne public relations consultant TamaraDiMattina realised that many years ago when shevisited India and saw the ‘‘rag-pickers’’, many ofthem children, who made a living out of the stuffthat people throw away. They retrieve rags,plastic, glass, cans, anything that can be sold tothe recyclers based in the city’s slums.

It was a pivotal moment for her. She’d alwaysbeen uneasy about the waste in the west. Thetrouble is that our whole economy is based onconvincing us to buy more stuff to keep theeconomy growing.

“Most of us accept that more stuff hasn’t beengood for us. It doesn’t make us happier. Whatmakes us happier is connections and family andcommunity.”

In 2009, she set up Buy Nothing New Monthto try to get people to think about the stuff theybuy. The premise is that, apart from food andhealth and sanitary products, people commit tobuying only second-hand goods during October.

The campaign is backed by the MetropolitanWaste Management Group and the Brotherhoodof St Laurence, which operates 21 op shops inVictoria.

DiMattina says the idea is that people can buyfrom op shops with a clear conscience, knowingthat shopping there is environmentally sustain-able and socially beneficial.

A late convert to op shopping — she was livingin London, working at Sotheby’s and required todress smartly on a low wage — she says second-hand is now her default position. ‘‘If anyone saysthey like what I’m wearing, I’m proud to say it’sfrom an op shop.”

Part of the campaign is about encouragingpeople to find their own style, to realise theydon’t have to wear what’s being advertised on thebillboards.

“It relieves a lot of the pressure about trying tokeep up. Uni kids really get into it, but also youngmothers. They hand around stuff from their kids.I think women are more interested than menbecause men can wear the same T-shirt for 10years.’’

She insists she’s no expert in waste manage-ment or sustainability. “I’m just one person whothinks the way we’re consuming is crazy.”

Andrew Valder is another who has approachedthe challenge of reducing waste obliquely.

His light-bulb moment came when he waswalking around Bondi three years ago, looking atthe TV sets, old couches, wardrobes and vacuumcleaners that people left out on the streets.

“Wouldn’t it be good,” Valder mused to hispartner Darryl Nichols, “if the whole neighbour-hood had a garage sale on the same day”.

And so began the Garage Sale Trail, partmoney-spinner, part social connector. Theystarted it as a small community festival in Bondito raise awareness about illegal dumping. Therewere 126 garage sales the first year. Theyaveraged $750 in sales and an analyst estimated15 shipping containers worth of ‘junk’ was takenoff the streets.

The trail went national in 2011. Last year,7514 households listed 624,432 items for salewith a total value of more than $2.4 million.

This year, up to 20 Victorian councils areexpected to take part. Casey — Victoria’s mostpopulous municipality — agreed to join lastmonth after Valder explained the benefits forcouncils, principally the massive diversion ofunwanted goods from landfill and the reducedcosts of the hard rubbish collection.

Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon sees multiplebenefits. “It’s not just about reducing landfill andraising money; it also brings neighbours andstreets together.” The motto is ‘Sell in themorning, socialise in the afternoon’, although ofcourse the social thing starts the minute thetrestles are put up.

There is a huge amount of hard work andorganisational talent behind the Garage SaleTrail’s success but in the end, for Valder, it comesdown to one word: fun. People who take part areenjoying themselves, he says.

The day gives people a chance to meet otherpeople in their street, to flick through theirrecord collections, try on their ’70s gear, discoverkindred interests and enjoy a few laughs.

He says you can’t scare people into being moresustainable, but you can entice them into it, withmuch better results.

John Dronryp with student Dan Arzhintar attraining last week. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

Judo expert floored by honourBY DANIEL TRAN

AS a younger man, Johannes Dronrypwould visit Japanese ships that docked inMelbourne and seek out sailors whoknew judo.

When he arrived in Australia in 1962,the sport was still in its infancy and train-ing partners were hard to come by.

For their grappling fix, he and severalfriends visited Japanese ships looking forother black belts. The Australians couldtell the Japanese judo players apart bylooking at their ears. Certain judo tech-niques can cause trauma to the ears thatcreate hard lumps in the cartilage. Seek-ing out other players was a nerve-rackingprocess but one he does not regret.

‘‘We always had a good time,’’ herecalls.

Instead, Mr Dronryp turned his atten-tions to spreading judo to the masses,something that brought him a Medal ofthe Order of Australia in the Queen’s

Birthday Honours this week.Within Australian judo, the Clayton

South resident has become a renownedcoach and referee who also holds a 7thDan black belt. He also sits on the boardof Judo Victoria.

In the early days, it was frustrating forMr Dronryp, who had come to Mel-bourne from the Netherlands, where theJapanese martial art had an establishedculture. In his native land the then-25year old had been training up to six days aweek and spending his days off crossingthe German border to watch competi-tions.

In Melbourne he was barred fromamateur competitions because he wasconsidered a professional player.

‘‘I think it’s a great honour,’’ MrDronryp said of his medal.

At 76, and after a knee operation, hispassion for judo is yet to fade. He is stillcoaching and is the president of theBentleigh-McKinnon Southern KodokanJudo Club.

‘‘I’m still passionate about it. Judo ...gives you a lot of confidence, it buildscharacter — it makes you a good person.’’

Modern odyssey bridgesthe generation gap

Family affair: Kyriakos Amanatidis hasbeen rewarded for services to the

Greek community. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY DANIEL TRAN

FOR a generation of young Greeksgrowing up in Australia, KyriakosAmanatidis is their link to their cul-tural homeland.

For the past 55 years, the GlenWaverley resident has been a conduitfor Greek culture and language in Vic-toria.

His service to the Australian-Greekcommunity is being recognised in thisyear’s Queen’s Birthday honours withan Order of Australia medal.

It makes him the second person inhis household to win the medal. Hiswife, Constina, received the honour in2011.

Mr Amanatidis, who arrived inAustralia in 1958, said he washonoured to be recognised by the coun-try he now considers home.

He was 22 when he arrived inMelbourne. He assembled cars in a

Fitzroy factory while learning Englishbefore enrolling in university and gain-ing a degree in economics. But even ashe rose to become a director at the Aus-tralian Bureau of Statistics, theHellenic language and culture wasnever far from his mind.

Mr Amanatidis wrote for Greek-language newspaper Neos Kosmos,established a library of Greek-Australian writers at the consulate-general of Greece and taught thelanguage to numerous students in thestate.

‘‘Teaching was very appealing tome,’’ he said.

‘‘I retired at 55 in order to be able tothen devote more time to teaching atsecondary (and) tertiary levels.’’

He was also instrumental in estab-lishing weekly seminars on Greek his-tory and culture.

‘‘Those attending are mainly(Greeks) of second and third

generation . . . and also members of thewider community.

‘‘We realised that if we want toimpart knowledge of Greek culture, weshould do it in a medium that is under-stood by the younger generations. Oth-erwise you waste your time.’’

Mr Amanatidis said the response tothe seminars, which are in their thirdyear, was phenomenal.

‘‘One hundred and fifty peopleattend every Thursday.

‘‘People are not fluent in thelanguage, but it is important for themto understand their cultural back-ground because you know Greekhistory, how far back it goes, how itinfluenced Western culture.’’

Views split on eight-storey complex

Big seller: An impression of the city view from the Hanover Street development.

BY DANIEL TRAN

A SOON-to-be-sold-out eight-storeyapartment block in Oakleigh is beingwelcomed by Monash mayor MicaelaDrieberg, who says the city is in needof more diverse housing.

But the medium-rise project hasraised the concerns of leading plan-ning expert Michael Buxton, who saidthe development was unnecessary. Hesaid it would establish a precedent forareas like Monash.

The Infinity development on Han-over Street near the Centro shoppingcentre will create 92 new apartmentsin Oakleigh.

There will be seven levels of apart-ments above shops and secure park-ing.

The project has proven popular andonly 11 apartments are still to be sold.

Cr Drieberg said the complex wouldbe a good addition to the suburb.

‘‘Oakleigh’s screaming for a make-over and it’s in a prime location formore residents to move in and use allthe infrastructure that’s surrounding

it. This [development] does that butwe just had to get the right fit so thatwe didn’t lose the character of theOakleigh village.’’

When first proposed, Infinity wasset at six storeys. Monash Councilrejected the plans and the decision wasupheld by the Victorian Civil andAdministrative Tribunal.

Redesigned at eight storeys, it wasagain rejected by VCAT. The planswere accepted after the developermade changes to the building’s height.

Professor Buxton, of RMIT, saidmedium-rise housing in middlesuburbs such as Oakleigh wasunnecessary.

He said adequate densities could beachieved with three-storey develop-ments. ‘‘We just don’t need to be doingthis, really,’’ he said.

‘‘As a rule, an eight-storey develop-ment would seem to be an excessiveheight for this area . . . when the pre-vailing dwelling type is single-storeyresidential houses in the district andtwo-storey shops.’’

Cr Drieberg said the complex was

now in line with the city’s vision forOakleigh.

‘‘This offers a different type of hous-ing that’s more affordable than what’s

currently on offer in a geographicalarea, which is quite desirable. We needmore apartments and units.’’

Professor Buxton said the develop-

ment would create a slippery slope.‘‘This kind of development creates a

precedent for an area. This will be thestart.’’

Two held overClayton bashingA MAN was bashed with a bottle and three oth-ers were doused with capsicum spray after anargument over a cigarette turned violent inClayton recently.

About 10pm on Sunday, June 2, three menwalking south on Clayton Road wereapproached by two men.

A fight broke out after one of the pair askedfor a cigarette and was rebuffed. Punches werethrown and one of the three men suffered aserious gash to the head when struck with abottle.

Detective Senior Constable Matt De Boer ofthe Monash crime investigation unit said protect-ive services officers at the Clayton railway stationtried to break up the fight with pepper spray.

‘‘[They] have heard the commotion and [ran]across [the road] to break up the fight,’’ he said.‘‘As they resisted, the offenders were sprayedwith capsicum spray.’’

Police then arrived on the scene and arrestedtwo men who were taken to the Oakleigh policestation. The man who had been hit by the bottlewas taken to the Monash Medical Centre andtreated for a cut to the head.

Senior Detective De Boer said the two menwere later released, pending further inquiries.

He called for any witnesses to come forward.‘‘If anyone happened to be in the area on ClaytonRoad on that particular night and they saw thisaltercation, we’re desirous to have witnessescome forward to help us explain what occurred.’’

Senior Detective de Boer praised the action ofthe protective services officers around Monashand said they had been well-received by policeand the public. ‘‘On speaking to members of thepublic, they feel a lot safer on the platforms andon the trains. And also with police, it’s great forus to know that there’s other members out therewho can assist us with our duties.’’

INBRIEF

Public warned on scamsCon artists posing as psychics, clairvoyants and

fortune tellers are swindling victims out of money

with promises of love, happiness and protection.

Consumer Affairs Victoria is warning Monash

residents to remain vigilant of scammers who prey

on the insecurities of victims. Acting director Phil

D’Adamo said victims could be scammed out of

large amounts of cash. ‘‘Scammers often charge a

small amount at first, then once the victim bites,

demand more and more money,’’ Mr D’Adamo

said. ‘‘People send money, often to overseas

accounts, in the hope that the scammer can

provide them with financial success, happiness or

protection from ills.’’ Since the beginning of last

year, Consumer Affairs has received 18 reports of

scams. ‘‘We know that many scams go

unreported, so real figures are likely to be even

higher,’’ Mr D’Adamo said. ‘‘Don’t send money

overseas to people you don’t know or trust. You

should also warn your friends and family so they

do not become a victim as well.’’

Action Jackson: Australian basketballer

Lauren Jackson has launched a

new training academy program.

Picture: Anita Jones/Newcastle Herald

ASPIRING south-east Melbourne bas-ketballers will get the chance to honetheir talents at the newly establishedLauren Jackson Basketball Academylater this year.

Four-time Olympian Lauren Jacksonhas joined with training company SmartConnection Training to create a 12-weektraining academy.

The program includes key tactics foron-court success, techniques to improveconditioning, and being guided throughdrills that will improve their overall per-formance and skill set. The academy willbe open to all 15-18 year olds.

Academy lessons also focus on teach-ing players how to plan for their futurecareer and study options, especially thosein the sports industry with those who fin-ish the program receiving a certificate I invocational preparation.

The academy will host an initial phaseof programs at the highly popular basket-ball centres of Dandenong, Kilsyth, Knoxand Nunawading.

The highlight of the academy is a two-day intensive Jackson Jam Super Camp atwhich players will work directly withJackson and other professional men andwomen players during the school holi-days.

Jackson said she was excited about hernew academy.

“I have always wanted to give moreback to the sport of basketball and theyouth of Australia,’’ she said.

‘‘This is an exciting initiative for meand gives me the chance to pass on myexperience and life lessons to help youthreach their goals and dreams.

‘‘I don’t believe there are any limita-tions to what can be achieved personallyand professionally and I stronglybelieve in having fun and enjoying

the journey along the way.”Smart Connection Training managing

director Martin Sheppard said theprogram offered a broad blend of basket-ball and life skills.

“It’s not often students get the chanceto be trained in their own backyard byone of the world’s top athletes,” Shep-pard said.

“This program has everything — lifeskills to help students gain a career in anexciting and fast-paced industry.

‘‘It is also an opportunity to train oneon one with Lauren Jackson and have hershare coaching tips to improve the waythey play basketball.”

The program is expected to expandnationally later this year.

FERNTREE GULLY THE TYRETHE TYRE FACTORY

Euro luxury at half the priceEwan Kennedy road tests the Hyundai i30 Premium CRDi

Class act: Many who commented on the shape of the i30 Premium loved its sleek, stylish lines.

Image is everything in the minds of many carbuyers. Motoring journalists have a saying,“People pay big dollars for the front two

inches of their cars”.The Hyundai i30 Premium CRDi we have just

returned after an extended review is a classic casein point. It was positively crammed with luxuryitems of the sort found in big name Euro cars:leather trim; a panoramic glass sunroof; satellitenavigation with Suna traffic control; poweredfront seats with heating; connectivity by way ofAux, USB and iPod/iPhone inputs, as well asBluetooth; hands-free phone; audio streaming;keyless go. The list just goes on and on.

Despite the huge levels of standard equipment,people gasped when we told them the i30 Pre-mium CRDi had a recommended retail of$32,590 – saying it was a lot of money for aKorean car.

Which brings us back to our comments aboutimage being everything – one of the big nameGerman marques in this class would come in atclose to $70,000 if loaded with the same gear. Yet

many would have described the $70,000 pricetag as being a bargain for a Merc, Beemer orAudi.

Power is provided by a 1.6-litre turbo-dieselengine with a high-tech six-speed automatictransmission. We found the transmission nicelyinteractive as it responded quickly to our desirefor a different gear by way of the ‘throttle’ pedal.

At motorway speeds our Hyundai i30 CRDihad fuel consumption in the six to seven litres perhundred kilometres range. This increased to nineto 10 litres per hundred in the hard grind of typ-ical city commuting. The best European turbo-diesel engines in this class can do significantlybetter than this, showing that the Asian car mak-ers still have a distance to go in their designs ofcar diesel engines. Knowing Hyundai, that won’ttake long.

Hyundai i30 Premium is pleasant to drive,albeit with the nose heavy feeling of any front-drive car. The driver can vary the feel of the carby dialling up one of three steering modes withHyundai’s fascinating Flex Steer system.

Bulls ponder a squandered leadBY ROY WARD

NOBLE Park won’t forget its Queen’s Birthdayweekend loss to Balwyn anytime soon — in fact, itwill use the result as motivation for the rest of itsEastern Football League division 1 campaign.

The Bulls lost to the premiers by eight points infront of a big crowd at Pat Wright Senior Oval onSaturday. The loss came despite the Bulls taking thelead via a goal from Beau Cosson midway throughthe final term.

That lead didn’t last long as the Tigers were hand-ed a controversial free kick after an off-ball clash be-tween Bulls defender Trent Robertson and Tigersforward Luke Barker inside the forward 50-metreline just as the Bulls had moved the ball out to thewing.

Barker went back and slammed his kick throughthe goals to give the Tigers back the lead. The visitorsput on two more quick goals and held off the Bullsfor a memorable win, Barker finished with six forthe match.

The Bulls got a spirited but pointed talk fromcoach Mick Fogarty both on the ground and in therooms post-game. Fogarty demanded more account-ability and better conversions from his side.

Bulls captain Craig Anderson said his teammateswere disappointed with the result.

“Obviously being in front in the final term meantwe were a fair shot to win it. Then there were a cou-ple of free kicks, dubious ones, and we ended up los-ing the game.

“That’s the way it goes. Obviously we’re prettyshattered because we feel like we can match it withthem.’’

Anderson made a point of saying Robertson’s freekick was not the sole cause for the loss. Fogarty alsourged his players to aim for a higher standard of per-formance in the final months of the season as theBulls chase the premiership.

“When you have a high-pressure game like todayevery goal counts, every stoppage counts, every turn-over can hurt you,” Fogarty said after coming out along post-game meeting with his coaches.

“Today it hurt us late in that last quarter when wehad momentum.

“We’re really disappointed with the way it unfol-ded. We had all the momentum and had a realchance to win the game. There was an incident, thenwe turned the footy over and that was it.”

The Bulls named George Angelopoulos, Tim Kelly,

Luke Smith, Vergim Faik and Brett Dore as bestplayers. Cosson kicked three goals.

The Bulls and Tigers will have this weekend off asthe rest of the league returns to the field. In their nextmatch the Bulls will look to win their first game atEast Burwood in half a decade.

“We haven’t beaten them over there in five yearsand now we have to beat them,” Fogarty said.

“I’ve got no doubt this group will rise to the chal-lenge. We’ve been playing good football the last two

weeks and we know we can match it with anyone.“Today we didn’t get the four points but showed

we can match it with the top sides.”The EFL dedicated the round to depression and

anxiety foundation beyondblue. Both sides worespecial beyondblue jumpers, which featured blueadded to their regular guernseys.

A BATTERED and bruised Balwyn goes into themid-season break with its perfect record intactafter surviving a late comeback bid from rivalNoble Park on Saturday.

In the only match played in the Eastern Foot-ball League on the long weekend, Balwyn playedmost of the game a man down after an earlyinjury to Brad Neil but overpowered the Bulls inthe final five minutes for an 11.9 (75) to 10.7 (67)victory.

A goal to Jeff Gobbels and another to Barker inthe next three minutes sealed the result and putBalwyn three games clear on top of the table as itgoes into the bye.

Balwyn coach Dan Donati was proud of theway his side responded when pushed late in thegame. “I almost wanted us to lose the lead so we’dstart running again, and once we fell behindthings started to click into gear,” he said.

“When the boys have their backs to the wallthey tend to play better footy. They’re not reallyfront runners.

“But couldn’t be happier at 9-0. Obviouslywe’ve got some room for improvement and a cou-ple of injuries, so that’s a little concerning, butwe’ve just got to maintain our momentum now inthe run home.”
