n Chinese whispers reveal local producers have been sidelined...
Glass ceiling By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS CHEAPER Chinese-made glass has been used on the Municipal Building Project in Dandenong despite assurances that locallymade materials would be favoured, claims a Greater Dandenong councillor. Councillor Peter Brown said the project had been delayed partly due to waiting for the imported glass. The project, originally due to finish in December, is now expected to open in April 2014. Cr Brown said council officers had earlier assured councillors that local products would be used even if “it meant a higher price”. “I find it very disappointing that one of Australia’s biggest and best glass manufacturers, Viridian Glass based in Dandenong, didn’t get the job. “We have been told it’s more expensive than Chinese glass. “We’re told that it’s up to (contracted project manager) Watpac to come up with the most costefficient way to supply materials.” In a loaded barb at the council, Cr Brown added: “(It’s) highly appropriate that all the glass for ‘The Kremlin’ has been sourced from a Communist country.”
The council and Watpac Construction state that a 90 per cent locally-made benchmark is being met on the project. Watpac Construction state manager Nick Pavlovic said the company had appointed a Melbourne-based sub-contractor to supply and install aluminium framing and external glass, as well as internal glazed screens. “The sub-contractor has sourced aluminium profiles locally, as well as a large portion of the glass, however some of the external glazing units have been procured overseas due to commercial and technical constraints.” Mr Pavlovic said as well as meeting the 90 per cent benchmark, the company gave Dandenong sub-contractors the chance to competitively tender for works packages on the project. A manager at Industry Capability Network - a conduit used to source local suppliers for the project - said a lot of imported glass was being used on building and manufacturing projects in Australia. “We’re banging our heads against a brick wall on this. “Companies are bringing in inferior product from overseas but it comes down to the price.”
South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance executive officer Adrian Boden said using locally-made products gave a local economic “return”. “If the council spend $100 on a local company’s products, they get back up to $20 in rates. “Some will also go back to the employees who spend it in the local community. “My problem with buying from overseas is you lose that money forever.” He said Greater Dandenong was one of the better councils for using local materials. “I’m not saying the council has done it wrong here. If you start putting the local first, will they start putting their prices up in the knowledge there’s no other competition? “It’s a difficult question that needs to be addressed by all governments.” Greater Dandenong engineering services director Bruce Rendall said the council had “preferred, wherever possible, to purchase goods, machinery or material manufactured or produced locally”. Viridian Glass did not comment.
Destination Dandenong DANDENONG students are shining a spotlight on immigration in a new exhibition. Many Roads, One Destination: The Stories of Immigration to our Dandenong Community is part of an ongoing collaboration between Dandenong High School and Deakin University. With guidance from Dr Karen Charman from Deakin University, pictured, students visited social history museums, researched stories of immigration to Dandenong and created vivid accounts of personal stories. The exhibition is on display at Deakin Learning Hub, Level 3, 237 Lonsdale Street, Dandenong, until Friday 29 November. 109756 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Bid to ban shisha By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS SMOKING out of a hookah - or shisha smoking - should be banned inside cafes and restaurants in Greater Dandenong, says councillor Matthew Kirwan. Cr Kirwan wants the council to urge the state government to end the indoor-smoking exemptions for shisha in workplaces and dining areas. Cr Kirwan told the Journal he was not seeking to ban shisha outright but to bring it in line with cigarette-smoking regulations. He stated in his notice of motion to be tabled at tonight’s (Monday) council meeting that a rising number of businesses in Greater Dandenong were offering shisha smoking. “There is a misconception that as the shisha smoke passes through
a bowl of water, the water acts as a type of toxin filter and is therefore less harmful. “In actual fact, nicotine and most tobacco-related toxins are not watersoluble.â€? World Health Organisation estimates that a one-hour shisha session produced the same volume of inhaled smoke as between 100-200 cigarettes. Maruf Ahmed, who runs Adda CafĂŠ and Shisha Lounge in Noble Park, said his and other Greater Dandenong outlets only served “herbalâ€? shisha - which comprised none or at least little tobacco. He said his fruit-flavoured shisha contained “0.05 per cent tobacco per one kilogramâ€?. One cigarette was equivalent to 15-20 shisha servings, he said.
“I don’t smoke cigarettes but I smoke four to five shisha a day for the past seven years. I don’t have any issues,� Mr Ahmed said. “It’s not like the tobacco shisha served in Cairo and the Middle East; we don’t serve that here.� He said cigarettes and alcohol presented more serious health issues. Mr Kirwan said “herbal shisha� smokers were still inhaling unhealthy particulate smoke matter. “There’s a health risk whether it’s herbal or non-herbal. It may be safer but it’s not safe.� Several Melbourne councils and Quit Victoria have been lobbying for Victoria to stop being the only Australian state that makes exemptions for shisha and hookah tobacco. Quit Victoria policy manager
Kylie Lindorff said shisha and hookah tobacco posed substantial health risks to both the user and those exposed to second-hand smoke. “This is a product that is called tobacco, it contains tobacco and is smoked so it is logical that it is covered by the same laws as other tobacco products. “Waterpipe smoking is not a safe alternative to cigarette smoking. “It produces a similar level of air pollutants as cigarettes so staff working in these shisha cafes are not afforded the same protection as those working in other cafes and indoor areas.� What do you think? Should shisha smoking be banned in workplaces and dining areas? Let us know at journal@ starnewsgroup.com.au.
Family struggles after theft By CASEY NEILL A CALLOUS theft in Noble Park has left a mother and her disabled daughter stranded. Carolyn Russell had convinced her sister Janine Russell from Newport to take a well-deserved break at a friend’s home on the night her van was stolen. She’s the sole carer for daughter Sharamalee, 19, who has Angelman Syndrome, is wheelchair-bound and suffers from uncontrolled epilepsy. “She requires care 24/7,� Carolyn said. “My sister lives in a constant state of sleep deprivation with never a complaint on her own behalf.� On 5 November life got even more difficult for the family when thieves took her maroon 1985/86 Toyota Tarago with registration plates ZGI 519. Carolyn contacted the Journal in the hope someone might have seen the thieves or have information about the van’s whereabouts. “Losing your vehicle like this can be devastating at the best of times but my sister’s situation is even more dire,� she said. Janine’s only income is a carer’s pension so she’d been unable to pay for theft insurance and can’t afford a new vehicle. “The van she had was barely adequate as Janine had to physically lift Sharamalee from the wheelchair into the vehicle before dismantling the heavy chair and lifting it into the boot,� Carolyn said. “But she made do as it gave
Sharamalee and Janine Russell. 110704 them a little freedom. “The selfish action of these car thieves has effectively reduced the alreadylimited quality of life my sister and her family struggle to maintain.� Janine has a son Kaillen, 15, who attends secondary school, works part-time and participates in sport across Williamstown, Newport, Yarraville, Altona North, Altona Meadows and Laverton.

“My sister has always tried to keep Kaillen’s life as ‘normal’ as other kids and not to limit his opportunities because of his sister’s disability,� Carolyn said. “I have never heard him ever complain or wish his lifestyle different. “He always helps whenever he can as a young carer to love and support his sister. “For him to attend his activi-

SEVEN men will face court following a prostitution sting in Dandenong on 14 November. Sergeant Pat Green said they would answer solicitation charges in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court in February on the same day as another seven men, caught in an undercover operation in September. “If you’re caught soliciting prostitutes you’ll be charged and thrown before a court,� he said. “It’s not acceptable and the police aren’t tolerating it. Summonses will be delivered to home addresses.� Sgt Green said police were concentrating resources on Scott Street and its surrounds. “But we’re aware of people using social media to meet up and we’re aware that they’re moving away from the area predominantly being used previously,� he said. “We’re following where they’re going and we know where they’re going.�He said the zero tolerance approach would continue until the behaviour was gone. “The police are working with other government agencies to look at the problem from a different angle, not only from enforcement,� he said. “It’s just about putting our heads together and working out what capability each organisation has and how they can complement the others.� Police made one arrest and interviewed three suspects in a prostitution blitz in Dandenong’s CBD in July. This followed a Star News Group report that month that gutter crawlers propositioned a 19-year-old girl as she waited for a bus in Scott Street. In February, Star reported that a 70-year-old woman was propositioned outside her Scott Street home and the issue was instilling “fear and discomfort�. Sgt Green urged residents and shopkeepers to anonymously report prostitution to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or call him at Dandenong Police Station on 9767 7444.
POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an armed robbery at a Keysborough petrol station on Friday 15 November. Two men entered the Caltex service station on Cheltenham Road about 9.30pm. Police said one brandished a knife and demanded cash from the console operator while the other stayed at the front door as a lookout. The operator handed over cash and the thieves drove off. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.

WHITE RIBBON DAY
Challenge the bad behaviour COMMUNITY
VOICE INSPECTOR WAYNE VINEY
ery day of the week. The situations they see and deal with are horrific. They deal with women who have been brutally assaulted, punched in the face, set on fire, raped or even murdered. The list goes on and on. What gives men this sense of entitlement? The statistics I quoted earlier are national statistics, so what is happening here in our own backyard? In the last 12 months there were 7185 reports of family violence in the City of Greater Dandenong, City of Casey and the Shire of Cardinia. To put that into context, police take a report of family violence in these areas approximately every 70 minutes. Police laid 2783 family violence related charges and were applicants in 1880 intervention orders. Don’t be mistaken in thinking that this insidious behaviour is confined to men abusing women. We supported 486 children who were victims of family violence assault. As damming as these statistics are we know that family violence is still significantly under reported, so I shudder to think what the real number is. There are so many atrocities happening around the world at anyone time, but this issue is so big on a world wide scale in my opinion it is arguably the greatest human rights issue across the world. So who commits family violence?

As some people would have you think it is not your stereo typical beer drinking, low socio economic thug. Offenders come from all walks of life, professional, tradesmen, teachers, politicians and the list goes on. I know of several extremely well respected men within the broader community who have recently been perpetrators of violence against women and children. I can assure you they are shown no favours and face the full force of the available law at our disposal. If there was 7185 reports of random violence in our streets there would be a community outcry, and rightly so. So why does the community tolerate this constant violence against women and children behind closed doors? In my eyes there is no difference between an assault outside a night club and an assault behind closed doors by a family member. A crime is a crime regardless of where it occurs and who commits it. Offenders are arrested, handcuffed and whereever possible remanded in custody. So what are we doing about it? I am pleased to say that the response to family violence implemented in Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong is seen as best practice. We have 25 officers dedicated solely to supporting victims of family violence and targeting offenders. We work very closely with local agencies that provide support to victims of family violence. Never before have Victoria Police taken this matter so seriously. But this is not just a police issue. We cannot fix this problem by arresting our way out of trouble. We need to change community attitudes; we
need to change the attitudes of men. And who is best placed to change the attitudes of men? Other men! I am not asking men to act as vigilantes and burst through the door and prevent a woman from being assaulted. But we need to change attitudes towards the way we treat women. We need to challenge sexist comments, the grabbing of a woman’s backside in a night club. Strong men showing strong leadership is what is required. Without it we won’t change community attitudes on this issue. I liken the challenge to the journey we have been on regarding drink driving. It took 30 years or more but it is now socially unacceptable to drink and drive, we need to start the journey to ensure it is not acceptable to demean or treat women as second class citizens. I am proud to be a mentor to community leaders who have stood up and said enough is enough. These community leaders from a range of backgrounds including business, sporting, cultural and other community groups have signed up to participate in the Challenge Family Violence Project. They are committed to influencing other men in their own environment that violence against women is not acceptable but, more importantly, they have committed to challenging inappropriate behaviour. My challenge to all men is to stop and think about your behaviour towards women. The easiest way to assess if another male’s behaviour is acceptable is to ask yourself this question: ‘Would I want him saying or doing that to my daughter?’ If the answer is no, stand up and be a real man and challenge that behaviour.
Ribbon through the city A WALK for White Ribbon Day will make its way through central Dandenong tomorrow (Tuesday). It will start at The Kitchen at Dandenong Market at 9.45am and travel to the Drum Theatre, corner Lonsdale and Walker streets, Dandenong. There Phil Cleary, magistrate Leslie Fleming and other guests will speak about the impact of family violence and what everyone can do to prevent it. The White Ribbon Day Walk is designed to raise awareness and promote relationships between men and women based on respect and equality. “Sadly violence against women is the major cause of preventable death among women in the prime of their lives and the main cause of homelessness,” councillor Angela Long said. Also marking White Ribbon Day on 25 November is a free community art exhibition at Laurel Lodge at Heritage Hill
Councillor Angela Long and multicultural liaison officer Senior Constable Maha Sukkas supported last year’s White Ribbon event at Dandenong Pop-up Park. in McCrae Street, Dandenong. Behind the Veil celebrates survival and was produced by those who’ve experienced or know someone who has experienced family violence.
It’s open between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday and noon to 4pm Sundays until 6 December. See next week’s Journal for full coverage of the march.

AS a young constable who commenced his journey with Victoria Police 27 years ago family violence wasn’t on my radar. My focus, as was the rest of the organisation, was on catching car thieves and burglars. Our main aim as a policing organisation is to protect life and property. Thus my focus as a Local Area Commander is to identify where people feel unsafe, and the sad truth is that people feel unsafe in their own home. You are more likely to be assaulted in your own home by someone who supposedly loves you than on the street by a stranger. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a loving caring family environment. My father was a good man who never threatened or harmed my mother. However, the statistics tell me she was one of the lucky ones. One Australian woman every week is killed by a current or former partner. One in every three women will be a victim of family violence during their life time. I challenge you to stop and count the number of women in your life, your mother, your wife, your daughter, your sister. The statistics are clear: there is every chance one in every three of the women closest to you will be the subject of family violence. These figures are damming, damming of men! What type of man assaults his wife? Intimidates her, threatens her, emotionally abuses her through continual put downs, humiliates her in front of others? What type of male controls what his partner wears or who she can and can not talk to? I spent most of my youth and adult life in and around sporting clubs, I am not on some sort of feminist crusade. But there comes a time in every person’s life when you decide enough is enough. My staff attend family violence incidents ev-

Labor to level crossing risk
WHITE RIBBON DAY
By CASEY NEILL
Inspector Wayne Viney, Doveton Football Club president Shane Viney, club legend Steve Henwood and Sergeant Graeme Stanley have joined forces in getting behind the White Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT Ribbon cause. 110679
Club takes stand By RUSSELL BENNETT THERE’S no avoiding the preconceived notions many people have when it comes to Doveton. It’s never been one of Melbourne’s most desirable postcodes and the suburb is part of a wider area with alarming rates of family violence. The Doveton Football Club’s reputation isn’t squeaky clean either, but some of its favourite sons have come together to take a stand. Narre Warren police Sergeant Graeme Stanley, Doves president Shane Viney and club legend Steve Henwood have all thrown their weight behind the white ribbon cause in the hope that others follow suit. The Doves’ commitment to helping stamp out violence against women is unprecedented among sporting teams anywhere in the country. For the next three years, the Doves’ under-17, under-19, reserves and senior sides will all wear guernseys featuring the
iconic white ribbon, a symbol of the anti-violence movement, and Mr Viney couldn’t be more proud. “We have to show some sort of initiative on this,” he said. “We have to start at the top and, hopefully, it filters right down to our 16-year-old kids. “They’re all going to have girlfriends eventually - and that’s where it starts.” The statistics paint a horrifying picture. One Australian woman every week is killed by her current or former partner, and one in three women will be a victim of family violence during their lifetime. “From a club point of view, we’re lifting the profile,” Sgt Stanley said. “We’re trying to get men throughout the whole community to stamp out violence against women. “Doveton Football Club has been around for a long time, it’s centrally located within this
Monday, 25 November, 2013 Page 5
community and everyone will acknowledge that we’re coming out on the front foot.” Local area police commander Inspector Wayne Viney has applauded the club’s involvement with the Challenge Family Violence Project - an effort to get 70 community leaders from across Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia to influence their communities and change attitudes toward women. “From my perspective, family violence is the number one priority for us in this area because we’ve got the highest rate in the state,” Insp Viney said. “The Doveton footy club – let’s be frank – hasn’t had the best reputation over the journey...(but) for Shane and Steve to get on board and be two of those community leaders and be willing to get into their footy club and start influencing the attitude of men, it’s great.

A DEADLY Dandenong South level crossing will be among five in Greater Dandenong to go if the Labor Party wins next year’s state election. Opposition leader Daniel Andrews last week said the Abbotts Road crossing, where two people have died in the past five years following vehicle-train collisions, would be gone by 2022 under Project 10,000. Those on Noble Park’s Heatherton, Chandler and Corrigan roads and the South Gippsland Highway in Dandenong are also among the top 50 in Victoria earmarked for removal. Cash for the plan would come from a long-term lease of the Port of Melbourne. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said the project
underway to move the rail line under the road at Springvale Road, Springvale, would have enormous benefits for motorists and reduce emergency services’ response times. Sen Sgt Roberts and his crew attend “the occasional train versus car” collision. “And they’re usually pretty bad,” he said. “Separating vehicles from trains has to be a positive. “When you can remove that risk, it will benefit commuters on the train and also the motorists. “When car and train don’t collide, it means commuters get to where they’re going on time.” Sen Sgt Roberts said grade separation could also alleviate congestion in central Noble Park, particularly at the Heatherton Road and Douglas Street junction. “It’s a bit of a black spot for
us for collisions with cars,” he said. Opposition Roads spokesman and Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said congestion caused by boom gates being down at level crossings created major traffic delays and cost businesses millions of dollars in lost travel time. Premier Denis Napthine agreed but said removing level crossings could not happen without significant disruption. “It is in no-one’s interest to grid-lock the city and grind Melbourne’s trains to a halt,” he said. “Labor’s claim that it could remove 50 crossings at once is a cruel hoax on Victorians. “This ill-conceived proposal would see multiple train lines shut down for months, level crossings closed, alternative road routes hard to find and small businesses suffering.” MMP11433-01-a2Sep©FCNVI

SOCIALLY SPEAKING Future impact THIS never-ending rush for multi-storey, multiapartment building on what were once single dwelling blocks (re: High rise residential, Journal, 11 November) will totally destroy the character of much of Dandenong and for no good purpose other than to satisfy the demand of developers and ignore the residents’ wishes. I am not against development as such, but let us go about it in a sensible fashion. There are plenty of examples of what were once single dwelling blocks being turned into two and three unit single storey dwellings. Personally, I am very concerned about the future social impact that all these multi-apartment high rise buildings will have. I have written to the councillors who are supposed to represent me (Red Gum Ward). They don’t even have the decency of affording a reply. They hide behind the Zone 2 regulations and do not give a damn about objections. Richard Kenny, via web.
Fair question WE SHOULD be criticising councillors for not asking questions rather than attacking those that do ask them.
If councillors are not willing to ask questions on behalf of the residents and ratepayers that they represent, they shouldn’t be there. As for councillors who whinge about how many questions other councillors ask - stop complaining. If you don’t like it, give up your seat so that someone who does take an interest in issues raised by residents and ratepayers can stand up for the community. Mel, via web.
WE NEED to get back to the basics of what Christmas is. I feel the Australian way of celebrating Christmas is disappearing because of political correctness. Where have all the Australian Christmas songs and carols gone? Kids don’t know the Christmas story but think it’s all about presents, presents, presents. We’re starting to feel we have to adapt to other cultures instead of them meeting us half-way. As for the $85,000 street decorations, that money would be better spent given to charities. Janet Horrigan, Dandenong.
THUMBS UP THUMBS DOWN To the hard-working committee of the Dandenong Show. Congratulations. My family came from all over Victoria. We just love it, especially the flyball.
Thumbs down To having to work while the Ashes are on.
I WOULD love to see more Christmas decorations in Dandenong, Springvale and Noble Park. Christmas is not only about decorations, it’s about baby Jesus being born, so a symbolic crib would be lovely. No one has the right to get offended or dictate terms as this is a Christian country. Iris Perera, via web.
Thumbs up Thank you State Government for giving us $250,000 towards our Skate Park at Ross Reserve, Noble Park.
Thumbs up To councillor John Kelly. Keep the Christ in Christmas.
Music to light up sky IT’S a good idea about making Dandenong colourful for Christmas. You can add some local bands to light up music in the air. Francis, via web.

Councillor John Kelly doesn’t think the council’s festive decorations are ‘Chistmassy’ enough. What do you think? What would you like to see adorning your town during December? ■ Brad Woodford: John Kelly is on the right track. We should be really livening up the main streets of Dandenong, Springvale and Noble Park with Christmas cheer. I was worried that Dandenong was going to follow in the footsteps of Moreland and Darebin councils in toning down public decorations, so as not to offend Muslims. I’d hate for this to happen. facebook.com/DandenongJournal
SPRINGVALE’S most devoted sheep-keeper Vu Ho first took on Greater Dandenong Council for the right to keep his pet sheep Baa. Now he’s brought his lawyers to heel for “overcharged fees”. The firm was quick to refund Mr Ho rather than take him on in court. He’s submitted another law firm to the Legal Services Commissioner for arbitration over alleged over-charging.

VISITORS to Dandenong Police Station might want to allow extra time for the task during the coming months. Temporary buildings took over the staff car park as multi-million dollar renovations got underway this month, leaving fewer car spaces available nearby. The office and cell overhaul is set to continue until next September.
SHOULD Greater Dandenong Council unveil its new civic centre in Dandenong with a bang next year? Councillor Peter Brown says with up to $2 million in contingency funds up its sleeve, the council should splurge on the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performing at The Drum, simulcast on the new public square’s giant video screen. He also touted Dandenong’s favourite son John Farnham as possible entertainment. Let us know your ideas at journal@ starnewsgroup.com.au or facebook.com/ DandenongJournal.

FORMER Casey councillor Paul Richardson caused a few to hold their breath in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday when he dared “God to strike me dead” in court if he had done wrong. He’d pleaded guilty but maintained his innocence as he faced charges of wilful trespass and resisting police arrest. He was convicted and fined $3000 but lived to tell the tale.
State of our school AS A casual replacement teacher I have spent many hours in my local schools before they were closed, and can’t believe the state they have been left in when one Oakwood Park PS has been successfully converted to a flexible learning centre for disengaged students. A public forum is definitely needed to discuss with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) how these buildings can better serve our community instead of lying dormant and being vandalised. How sad to see public assets being defaced like that when organisations like Springvale Literacy Centre is looking for larger facilities with public transport to house their many English language classes.

Horse help takes hold By CASEY NEILL FOUR Dandenong students weren’t horsing around when they offered to lend Myuna Farm a hand. Year 11 students Taylah, Vanessa, Nathan and Leigh from St John’s Regional College spent seven weeks volunteering at the Doveton farm with Riding Develops Ability (RDA), a horse riding program for people with disabilities. There they met Quinn, a horse who needed an $8000 operation to remove a tumour from his stomach. “We thought it would be a great idea if we could get St John’s involved in giving a helping hand,” Nathan said. “Quinn, being one of their best horses and whose contribution to the RDA has given the opportunity of enjoyment and a future path to many disabled children, is loved by all of those

LOOKING BACK 100 YEARS AGO 25 November 1913 Police paddocks
50 YEARS AGO 25 November 1963 A dandy picnic planned
About three miles from Dandenong we have a valuable area of land which now appears to be only partly used for a lot of “scrapped” police horses awaiting a favourable moment for selling and partly for spelling remounts after periods of hard work. It would be a profit to Dandenong and to the State itself if the Government could be induced to establish a blood stock farm at this centre.
“Just a good time for the kids and their parents” - that is what Social Secretary Len Phillips is aiming for at the Dandenong Football Club’s first annual picnic to be held at St. James’ Oval on Sunday, December 3rd. Choice of St. James’ Oval (Pultney Street.) Is a new “slant” for a picnic, but the Red-legs social committee points out the afternoon, commencing at approximately
1pm is a planned affair with every minute up to 4.30pm packed with entertainment particularly for the younger fry.
tive for the south east. “This will be a major boon to Dandenong and the south-east growth corridor. It is one of the many jigsaws that are beginning to fall into place after many years of hard work by the City of Dandenong and the previous State Labor Government,” he said. “Shoppers in the region will no longer have the need to by-pass Dandenong.”

5 YEARS AGO 25 November 2008 EastLink slump
More than four months after EastLink’s opening, operator ConnectEast is pleased with its performance, despite a sharp drop in motorists on Melbourne’s newest motorway since the toll free period in July. Managing director John Gardiner told the Journal the EastLink project was a “remarkable success story”, but traffic had not been quite as good as expected. During the toll free period in July, EastLink recorded 270,868 average daily trips. That figure slumped to just 133,722 in the first week of tolling.

Police frustrated
Win for disabled
By CASEY NEILL POLICE are urging the public to dob in hoons to protect themselves and their loved ones. “We’re throwing resources at these fools that are creating the risk,” Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said. “That takes them away from our normal duties and creates a risk to the broader population.” He said hoons were showing up on private property, including the Bunnings and Masters stores in Keysborough and factories in Licola Crescent,
By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS PEOPLE with a disability and their advocates’ fervent wishes for a greater say at Greater Dandenong Council may come true at tonight’s council meeting. Councillors are set to vote on setting up a disability community reference group and a disability advisory committee. The groups would comprise community members, advocates, experts, councillors and council officers. Each group would meet at least four times a year and directly report to the council on issues including disability policy and the council’s disability action plan. Disability Resources Centre advocate Katrina Newman said in reaching this stage, the group had its “first proactive dialogue” with the council since the DRC outreach service opened in Dandenong in 2004. “It’s a little step in the right direction. “We have also been encouraged to see that a disability reference group on council is being reconsidered as it will allow for a voice for more than 20 per cent of the population of the City of Greater Dandenong that are people with disability.” Sharon Harris and Peter Fletcher, who have unsuccessfully fought for improved disability access in Dandenong in the Journal in recent years, said they were willing to join the reference group. Last week, they met at a zebra crossing with flashing lights on Foster Street opposite the railway station. They fear pedestrians could be struck by an unobservant driver in the 60 km/h zone. The council has stated it will monitor the crossing and “explore” reducing the speed limit to 40 km/h, rather than installing $100,000 pedestrian-operated lights which would “downgrade pedestrian priority”.
Katrina Newman, Peter Fletcher, Doug Edwards and Sharon Harris at the Picture: MEAGAN ROGERS Foster Street zebra crossing. 110584 Ms Harris said she’d fight for the removal of Lonsdale Street’s cobblestone pavers, which jolt her wheelchair, and for disabled taxi spaces closer to Dandenong railway station. “I just hope the group won’t be tokenistic but will have a real say.” Peter Fletcher said he’d continue to fight for a pedestrian crossing at a bus thoroughfare at the corner of Langhorne and Lonsdale streets. He, as well as other visually-impaired people, can’t see the sign warning pedestrian to look out for buses. The council has stated that no pedestrians had been injured at the crossing since 2009 according to VicRoads statistics but will monitor the intersection. Cr Matthew Kirwan said he hoped the proposed group would allow people with a disability and advocates to have a greater say in the design of major projects.
“What I want is not just the group commenting on services but on the planning process.” Cr Kirwan was disappointed by the council’s progress on 19 to-do items in Dandenong identified by the DRC. “I am happy that ramps have been installed on McCrae Street for taxis, that extra bays have been installed on Langhorne Street and that installation of tactile indicators have been installed on Robinson Street. “I think there could have been immediate action recommended on installing extra kerb ramps in Lonsdale Street and a communication campaign with shop owners on approving accessibility in shops. “There could have been immediate steps planned for installing pedestrianoperated signals across from the Dandenong railway station and installing pedestrian signals at the intersection of Langhorne and Lonsdale streets.”

on Tuesday and Friday nights. “If they decide to show off it can turn very bad, very quickly,” he said. “The risk these people pose is enormous. Eventually something’s going to happen. “They’re essentially trespassing. “If these people want to turn out, they’re fair game. We’ll have a zero tolerance approach to anything they might be doing.” Sen Sgt Roberts said hoons had caused damage to factories. “I can understand the business owners’ frustration,” he said. “We can’t be there 24-7. It frustrates them, it frustrates the hell out of us.”

Team tackles typhoon By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS ENDEAVOUR Hills Rotarians are marshalling a powerful aid response into typhoon-flattened provinces in the Philippines. Hans Van Dyk, a local Rotary Club member and one of 63 Disaster Aid Response Team (DART) members worldwide, is co-ordinating publicity for the cause. He and other DART members have helped out on the ground after cyclone devastation in the Philippines in 2011 and 2012 - but nothing near the over-
whelming scale of Typhoon Haiyan. “Our team leader says the destruction was far worse in intensity than the 2004 Asian tsunami. “Almost every home was destroyed and thousands (of people) are missing.” Disaster Aid Australia, based and supported at Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills, has sent 250 family survival packs as well as extra eight-person tents, $3500 water filtration systems, tarps, tools, blankets, mosquito netting and even nails to help shelter homeless
Super effort for storm survivors BANGHOLME students last week raised more than $500 for Typhoon Haiyan victims. Cornish College pupils brought a gold coin to class on 18 November to donate to CARE Australia, which is providing emergency relief to millions of people who are struggling in the Philippines in the super storm’s aftermath. “It is hard to know how to respond at such a time, only that we feel a need to
do something to show that we care,” marketing, communication and admissions officer Kylie Jones said. Students spelled out the words ‘we care’ with the coins they donated $545.85 worth. “This is an opportunity for Cornish College to respond and, hopefully, make a small difference in the lives of those devastated by this natural disaster,” Ms Jones said.

families and for them to rebuild their homes. DART members had already helped homeless families in Bohol after the 15 October earthquake. They were quickly seconded to typhoon relief duties in the same province after Typhoon Haiyan struck on 8 November. “When you go in, all the infrastructure is destroyed. “We have to make do and live the best we can as we deliver the aid best we can in the most difficult of circum-

worth $800, but its stocks warehoused in China are depleted. “We’re looking for more funding to continue to provide aid and to build up stock,” Mr Van Dyk said. “It looks like we’ll be there at least till January.” To sponsor and enter a fundraising raffle for a car, go to Facebook.com/ disasteraidaustralia or to disasteraidaustralia.org.au.

It offers a private upstairs getaway for parents to enjoy their master bedroom and a second living upstairs with an open fire place - it’s the perfect place to unwind. Throw in the extra addition of three good sized bedrooms plus a study, swimming pool and paved area to enjoy the summer evenings under the sun and a picturesque front garden with additional courtyard where the new owners can enjoy views of the surrounding area on a block of 662 square metres and this becomes a dream come true. Inside this character filled home is where the beauty lies. Visitors head in to be welcomed by the tiled floors which guide them to two zoned bedrooms (both with built-in wardrobes), central and oversized bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles plus a private powder room. The south-east wing of the home is a perfect spot to relax with the family or a brilliant area to entertain. The living overlooks the pool and is complemented by a split system inverter unit.

AUCTIONEER MAKES BID FOR THE TOP
SEE THE SUCCESS AT C
Quick talking and keen intuition landed McDonald Real Estate director Harry Li a spot among some of the best auctioneers in Australasia. Mr Li placed in the top five at the end of the international completion, being pipped to the post by the winner Daniel Coulson from New Zealand. Mr Li was pitted against the best auctioneers in Victoria earlier this year and earned a top two placing in the region which saw him compete in the Australasian Real Estate Institute’s Auctioneering Championships. The competition was held in Perth, where the crème de la crème of auctioneers from every state and territory in Australia as well as the best from New Zealand came to showcase their skills. There were 18 competitors in all. Mr Li said he didn’t let his nerves get the better of him. “I didn’t have any nerves during the heats but I was a little nervous when I made
Agents at The C Real Estate in Springvale are finding success in a fresh approach to selling homes because they say they are creating dreams and changing lives. It took just four days and two open homes with 80 potential buyers walking through to sell 17 Bellarine Court in Keysborough recently. The three bedroom, one bathroom home, which also has a double garage, has been recently renovated. It went for $510,888 through private sale. Nearby 16 Fenton Court was also sold recently before the open home. Estate agent Corey (Khoi) Le said this was a very good result for the vendors. “This is a very established area where there are not a lot of new homes and the prices range from $460,000 to $490,000. “Everyone is doing auctions at the moment and they think that auctions are the best and only way to sell their homes but it’s not.”
the top five.” He has four years’ experience in auctioneering and said it required a lot of commitment and dedication. “It’s time consuming but it’s worth it. “It means that I can auction homes and provide better service for vendors.” To be successful an auctioneer needs confidence to be in front of a group of people, be empathetic and understand people’s needs, be good with numbers and be the type of person that can remain in control of a
situation, Mr Li said. He said auctions are a good option for vendors because they can provide a deadline for them to work towards. “Auctions are a good way to sell a home because it gives not only the vendor but the buyer a deadline to go by. “It forces the buyer to make a decision instead of waiting around for a decision.” Contact Harry Li on 0414 216 699 or contact the McDonald Real Estate office on 9546 8211 for more information.
Mr Le says achieving this result in such a short length of time is rare but it’s about understanding the market and a buyer’s behaviour. “When a buyer has it in their head that they want to buy a property, they want it now. “We open the property, we see the momentum and we are able to use that momentum to sell the home quickly. “Buyers don’t want to wait until the auction if they want to buy the home now. “How many times do we hear of vendors being disappointed on auction day when the home sells for less than was offered
before the auction? “We are reacting to demand and it can work very well. “It’s about being assertive and coming up with a better strategy,” he said. The vendors said: “Our house sold in four days at a price that was over our expectation! Fantastic! We are so pleased! “But over and above the amazing result, what we will always remember is your happy smiling faces that never pressured us.” Contact Corey (Khoi) Le on 0417 311 491 or call The C Real Estate on 8581 0999 for more information.

New day brings hope By CASEY NEILL “MAY all who visit this centre find hope, be empowered and experience a Brand New Day.” These were the final words from Margo Hartley as she officially opened the Brand New Day care and empowerment centre in Dandenong on 15 November. The charity has been 10 years in the making, since Mrs Hartley heard children were attending Dandenong Primary School on an empty stomach and couldn’t concentrate in class. “I was really saddened to see and hear of the number of desperate and destitute families and single mums and dads struggling and not knowing what to do next,” she said. “Many had lost their confidence and had no one to turn to for help and never seemed to get a lucky break.” Mrs Hartley came across a home in Foster Street East built in 1928 and earmarked for demolition to make way for apartments.
She’s instead restored it to its former glory and opened it to vulnerable, isolated, lonely families and individuals as a safe haven to enjoy activities, learn new skills and meet new friends. It will house classes in life skills, referral assistance, counseling and support. “During the 18 months of renovating we had all of our copper pipes stolen, syringes found in the garden, continued graffiti on the garage and neighbours objecting to the project,” she said. But the hard work was worth it. City of Greater Dandenong CEO John Bennie said he knew Mrs Hartley’s vision would materialize. “Brand New Day is a welcome, safe environment for the vulnerable, the isolated and the residents in need,” he said. “There is a highly demonstrated need for this care and empowerment centre.” Mr Bennie said Brand New Day offered opportunities to

Day will quickly come to regard this beautiful house as the place, as Van Morrison said, that lights their life with love,” he said. Margot Eaton, who previ-
ously worked at Dandenong High School, is the centre’s coordinator and will work alongside volunteers. The centre has a counseling room, laundry facilities, a chil-
Carers strive for hope By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS A FUN day of massages and kite-flying seemed to rub stayat-home carers the right way. It’s not just the pampering, but the acknowledgment that’s important, says Hampton Park mother Evelyn McAlpine, who has been caring for her daughter Wendy Boyle for the past 30 years. “We’re not just a ‘no one’ who’s looking after someone.” She was one of scores of carers, clients and families who enjoyed the music, food and entertainment at an Eastern Region
Mental Health Association fun day ‘How High Can You Fly?’ at Dandenong Park recently. With the kite-flying frivolity came a message: that carers can thrive in the community. For the past three years, Ms McAlpine has been also juggling the needs of her husband Bill, frail with alcohol-related dementia. Two months ago, he moved to a nursing home. Rather than feeling imprisoned by the situation, Ms McAlpine enjoys the regular camaraderie, the stories and the social release of carer support groups and forums.
dren’s room, a bungalow in the back garden and job seeker area with four computers. “If required we even have a wardrobe of clothing they may choose from when attending interviews,” Mrs Hartley said. Volunteers can help people fill out forms and there’s a kitchen where chefs will demonstrate how to cook meals on a budget. “Our vegie garden will not only act as a source of supply to our kitchen, but it will also help clients establish their own vegetable garden,” Mrs Hartley said. “Other courses will be added when necessary to accommodate people’s needs. “I have really tried to decorate and furnish this centre in a way that is inviting and calming for all who visit, and hope it is a lovely experience for all who attend.” Brand New Day is at 211 Foster Street East, Dandenong, and is open 9am to 5pm weekdays. Call 8774 3130 for more information or to book.
Wendy Boyle shared in the recent carers’ day with her mum Evelyn 106116 Picture: MEAGAN ROGERS
Her daughter Wendy Boyle also likes getting out and about. She spends weekdays doing activities at ERMHA such as shopping and creating lunches, barista training, walking, sports and movies. “It’s not a high profile job but it can be very rewarding and inspiring,” Ms McAlpine said. “I hope carers can take advantage of listening to other carers’ stories. “I don’t regret it for a minute. I have learnt a lot about Bill’s illness and Wendy’s illness and learnt a lot about myself.”

I ran on an empty stomach,” he laughed. But his
upper lip’s current state is no laughing matter. “I look like my dad. It’s awful,” he said. At least Sgt Fyfe has a crew of colleagues alongside him.

AS 2013 comes to an end the plight of school leavers exiting the education system with neither Year 12 qualifications or plans for further training is again in the spotlight. National Workplace Training warns early school leavers face increasing disadvantage. Students who leave school early or miss classes through truancy risk dramatic impacts throughout their adult lives. National Workplace Training (NWT), with three decades’ experience providing industryspecific skills to Australian students, says research shows that maintaining a connection with education protects young people from extreme risk behaviours. Knowing the high school system does not meet everyone’s needs, NWT values all

Theatre beats its drum CIRCUS, dance, drama, opera, cabaret and more are on the way to the Drum. The Dandenong theatre launched its 2014 season with a free community event last Thursday, 21 November. Visitors enjoyed group drumming, puppet making, back stage tours, live music and more, plus a rare preview of upcoming performances. In a first for Drum Theatre, world-renowned Circa will next year capture imaginations with a breathless performance of new circus, cabaret and vaudeville. Oz Opera will return with its 2014 premiere of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, and the Drum will host the only Victorian performance of Dirtsong by the Black Arm Band, featuring mesmerising songs performed in 11 Aboriginal languages. Visit www.drumtheatre.com.au or contact 8571 1666 for more information about the theatre’s year ahead.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Nominees go in to bat By CASEY NEILL FINEWELD Steel, CHEP and Patterson Cheney Cars and Trucks are the final nominees for this year’s Premier Regional Business Awards. At the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce breakfast last Tuesday they joined previous nominees Hairhouse Warehouse Parkmore, Iveco Trucks Australia, Burbank Group of Companies, Ginger Jones, Lupe Wines, Victorian Smash Repairs, FlexiCut Engineering, Heidi Rose, Chobani, Boss Products, Noisette and Bacchus Distillery. The winners will be announced at a dinner in March. On 19 November former Australian fast bowler Merv Hughes had guests in stitches with tales including David Boon’s beer-drinking record and the art of “verbal intimidation”. Hughes said Australia was a chance to win the Ashes series, which started last Thursday, if it won three or four coin tosses. He said the new video review system put the benefit of the doubt with the umpire, not the batsman. “It’s not about getting the decision right,” he said. And Hughes urged Cricket Australia to give players time to recover physically and mentally. “Stop playing meaningless games,” he said. Sam Billing and James Simonis were announced as the morning’s Youth Enterprise Award nominees. Sam is completing an Advanced Diploma Computer Systems and started his studies because he “used to sit at home 12 hours a day on the computer”. The Dandenong North student’s teachers described him as caring and said he took time out to help fellow students understand hard to grasp concepts. “From here I want to go on and do the Bachelor of IT,” he said. James is in his final year of Automotive Technology Studies - Heavy Vehicle. Teachers said he was a natural achiever that went beyond what was expected of him, and they struggled to keep up with his thirst for knowledge. He wants to help the industry become more efficient and effective, and buy his own fleet. Tony Fineweld and a business partner started Fineweld Stainless Steel in 1988. He was 19 and had only recently finished his sheet metal apprenticeship. “It was a struggle,” Mr Fineweld said. “But I wouldn’t have done it any other way.” Fineweld is now leading the innovation, design and manufacture of stainless steel tanks and processing equipment in the state, employing 16 people in Carrum Downs. The Australian Government formed the Commonwealth Handling Equipment Pool (CHEP) post-World War II. It was privatised in 1949 and now operates in more than 50 countries. Its headquarters employs 120 people and has been in Dandenong South since 2008. CHEP six months ago introduced warm ups
before and after shifts to help reduce sprain and strain injuries, as part of a wider health and wellbeing program. Patterson Cheney is celebrating 30 years since its head office moved to Cheltenham Road, Dandenong, and will soon mark 100 years since its birth in Flinders Street, Melbourne, in 1915. It employs about 170 people in Dandenong, 450 overall, and thanks to a policy of promoting within it has half the average industry staff turnover. Patterson Cheney offers 24-hour service and one-hour express servicing. The Premier Regional Business Awards are in their 23rd year, highlight successful businesses in the region and include corporate and social responsibility, service excellence, employment, innovation, retail, manufacturing, small business and Premier Regional Business Awards.

Windows in to Christmas
Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce’s James Sturgess with guest speaker Merv Hughes.
THERE are just a few days left for Greater Dandenong stores to get their windows festive-season fabulous. The City of Greater Dandenong’s Economic Development Unit is running a Christmas window display competition across the municipality.

One of them will then take home the Overall Best Window Display award. Entries are to be received by close of business on 29 November and will be assessed in early December.

Driving golf day donation for Windermere Bounce into jobs figures GREATER Dandenong businesses have helped raise $15,500 to support families in need. Prestige Hino presented a cheque to Windermere Child and Family Services this month, the result of the Dandenong company’s annual golf day at Sandhurst Golf Club on 18 October. Noble Park’s Gough Transport Solutions and Dandenong businesses VSE, STR Truck Bodies, Coffey Ford and Attards all contributed towards the total. Prestige Hino dealer principal Anthony Long said he was thrilled with the result. “We have been very proud supporters of Windermere for the last five years, and each year the golf day grows and so does the amount raised,” he said. “The day involves a lot of our local suppliers.
“It is very pleasing that we are able to embrace the community, give something back and contribute to helping more individuals and families in our own back yards.” Windermere CEO Dr Lynette Buoy said the generosity would help Windermere continue to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in the community. “This support contributes towards important initiatives and delivering much-needed services, especially with Christmas right around the corner,” she said. Windermere has provided help and resources to help people live to their full potential for more than 150 years, including counselling, housing support, disability services and childcare.

KEYSBOROUGH has received a jobs boost, with two new businesses bringing 220 new positions. Keysborough Masters opened this month, on the corner of Springvale and Cheltenham roads. The 13,000 square metre home improvement store has created 130 jobs for the area, according to store manager Brad Darcy. “The team at Masters Keysborough is on hand to help customers to make every project a reality, from thought to finish, no matter how big or small,” he said. “Press one of the many customer service buttons throughout the store and a staff member will be on hand to help within 60 seconds.” Xtreme Air indoor trampoline park on Fiveways Boulevard, Keysborough, will house 130 wall-to-wall trampolines - covering more than 1800 square metres. It will also provide 90 new casual employment positions.

Centre for calm Santa CHILDREN with autism spectrum disorder are invited to Dandenong Plaza to celebrate Sensitive Santa, an event that caters to children with sensory sensitivities and allows them to enjoy one of the holiday’s most joyous memories - sitting on Santa’s lap. Sensitive Santa runs until 21 December (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday only) between 8am and 9am. The Santa area will become “sensory friendly,” meaning centre music will be turned down, staff will be instructed to avoid loud, distracting movements, and the centre will be closed to shoppers. Dandenong Plaza will also provide each family that attends with a free photo keepsake. “We wanted to create an event that celebrates the spirit of Christmas and brings a small, but memorable part of the festive season to families with autism,” said plaza manager Mark Tannahill. “Sensitive Santa will allow these children to experience the same enjoyment with Santa, but in a much calmer, less intimidating environment.” This is the first year that Dandenong Plaza will host the event. Bookings are essential via the Dandenong Plaza Customer Service Desk on 9767 2000. The Santa set is located on Level 3 outside Michael Hill. Families are encouraged to use the Clow Street multideck car park.

Billy Hartung the Hawk
By JARROD POTTER BILLY Hartung had no idea he would become a Hawk. THE Dandenong Stingrays’ vicecaptain Hartung, 18, from Mornington, had talked to Hawthorn throughout the season and at the AFL Draft Combine, but didn’t expect the brown-and-gold to call out his name on Thursday night. “I only spoke to Hawthorn about half way through the year when the Nationals came around, but apart from that I didn’t really have much to do with them except I had a little interview with them at the draft camp,” Hartung said. “It didn’t seem like they showed a heap of interest but obviously they were pretty keen when it came around.” When Hawthorn recruiting and list manager Graham Wright called Hartung’s name at pick 24, the young midfielder, surrounded by friends and family on draft night, was ecstatic. “I couldn’t believe it,” Hartung said. “After the first round went - there was a bit of talk about me going to St Kilda - I didn’t really know which club after that would pick me, but when my name got read out to Hawthorn I was over the moon. “Couldn’t be any better team to go to… I’m really happy with that.” Heading to the 2013 AFL premiers as their first pick was extremely humbling for Hartung - that the club shows that much interest in
his abilities. “I guess it’s so much of a privilege being the first pick of any club, or even being picked, but being that first pick of any club…” Hartung said. “I can’t wait to get into the club on Monday and work my hardest and try to get the respect of the players and make a name for myself on the list. “I guess not too many people are fortunate enough to go to a successful club when they’re first drafted so I guess I’m ecstatic to go to a club like Hawthorn that’s had such success in recent years… I get to play with the likes of (Luke) Hodge, (Sam) Mitchell and Roughy (Jarryd Roughead). Dandenong Stingrays coach Craig Black was pleased to see the pair head into the AFL and find their way onto premiership-contending teams. “It was really good, obviously they’ve both gone to pretty good clubs,” Black said. “Zak going pick 15 to Sydney and Billy going to Hawthorn. “Two clubs that are up in the top of the ladder, so I think once they get into preseason they’ll have to work pretty hard but it will be a great opportunity for them both.” Hartung represented Victoria Country, was named Under-18 All Australian in 2013, and played 20 TAC Cup matches for the Dandenong Stingrays and was listed in the best on ground in the Stingrays 112-point grand final loss to Eastern Ranges.
Billy Hartung will start his first AFL pre-season today (Monday) after getting drafted pick 24 in the AFL National Draft. 105890 Picture: JARROD POTTER
Zak from out of the blue Top draft picks By JARROD POTTER MOUNT Eliza to Sydney is a bit of a commute, but Zak Jones is thrilled to fly off and join the Sydney Swans with his selection at pick 15 in Thursday night’s AFL National Draft. The 18-year-old Stingrays’ midfielder/defender had an envious 2013 - named All Australian and player of the carnival for Victoria Country - and featured in 13 TAC Cup matches for Dandenong including a best on ground finals performance against Calder in the preliminary final. His amazing season was even more impressive considering he was not part of the Stingrays squad as a 17-year-old as he plied his craft at Mount Eliza. That hard graft earned him a highly coveted position on an AFL list and when he heard his name called out by the Swans was the start of his dream coming to life, but Jones admitted the hard yards are far from over. “It’s amazing - sort of a dream come true but I know the hard work is not over, just got to keep my head down and keep working hard, but it’s a great thing to happen and a great club to go to so I’m pumped,” Jones said. “To be a first-round pick with the Sydney Swans, a great club with such great players there, it’s a great honour and I’m so grateful they’ve given me the chance to come play for their club and hopefully I can go somewhere with it. He didn’t expect Sydney to read out his name, let alone claim him as its first draft pick this year, but was stoked to get up to a high-ranking team and earn his spot on the list. “I didn’t know really where I was
By JARROD POTTER
Zak Jones will take his towering leaps and hard-edged football approach to Sydney. 110855 Picture: SUPPLIED going and it did really come out of the blue,” Jones said. “I guess that made it so much better for the hype of it, people think I’m going different places and I never thought I’d be going to Sydney but I’m so stoked to get picked for a great club. “Probably 12 months ago, playing for Mount Eliza, it’s gone that quick, so I’m surprised I’m here right now and I was more in shock last night (Thursday).”
Jones jokingly said he’d earn a few fines if he ever played on his brother Nathan, who plays for Melbourne. “Me and Nath spoke about it the other day… there would be a few fines and things like that... have to wait and see.” Jones said. Jones might be joined in the AFL system by a few other Dandenong Stingrays, with the AFL’s final drafts of the season - the AFL Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts - held on Wednesday morning.
HAILEYBURY College’s football system helped produce another two AFL draft picks on Thursday - with Nathan Freeman and Karl Amon among the college’s alumni going into the top league. Freeman, 18, from Dingley, will don the black and white stripes next season, deemed one of the best 10 talents in the draft with his selection at pick 10 by Collingwood. Amon, 18 from Hampton Rovers, will head across the border to join the Power - drafted at pick 68 by Port Adelaide. Haileybury’s Director of Sport Development Greg Schneiders said it was a boon for the AFL to get these talented young men into the system. “We’ve certainly impressed we had an inkling the boys would go,” Schneiders said. “Both were very dominant through their school years - from year one onwards they were part of our First XVIII Blazer Squad. “We had a certainly good feeling they would go.” At the campus for his senior years, Freeman impressed Schneiders and the football coaching staff with his tenacity at the ball and his love of running ahead to snare a bag of goals. “Nathan came through from year 10,” Schneiders said. “Nathan is a very strong kid
who runs out of the midfield and has a tendency to run forward and kick a lot of goals. “Really strong kid and really strong leader - well-spoken and you just have to meet the kid to find that out.” The high-flying Amon also impressed Haileybury with his work-rate and penchant for a high-flying speccy. “Karl is your really dynamic athlete - incredible athlete - likes to stand on people’s head in the middle of a game - if the ball is in range he’d be anticipated to take a big screamer,” Schneiders said. “Every game he’d be hanging on someone’s back “Karl is a great athlete and great kid - I spent a couple of years teaching him and he’s one that I think will go further than a lot of the boys taken higher than him in the draft, because of his work ethic. “Still reasonably light and lean but he’s all muscle and is an incredible young athlete… dynamic and explosive, he’ll play a lot of AFL footy over a lot of time.” The pair was heavily involved in school sports throughout their time at the college - featuring in athletics, swimming, triathlon and volleyball on top of their football commitments. Schneiders also said former Haileybury footballer Alex Spencer could be drafted at Wednesday’s AFL Rookie Draft.

Black Magic Max a jewel By MICHAEL FLOYD BLACK Magic Opal cemented his place amongst the nation’s great sprinters with an emphatic allthe-way victory in Thursday evenings TAB Melbourne Cup at Sandown Park. Sent to the boxes an easing even-money favourite, the son of Magic Sprite began well to lead clearly through the first turn and from there was never challenged, charging to a 2.5 length victory in 29.37 seconds. Purchased for a reported six figure sum, Black Magic Opal has repaid his connections faith by claiming greyhound racing’s biggest prize. “It’s very satisfying,” said trainer Jason Thompson of his third Melbourne Cup win. “He was bought with this race in mind so we started planning a long way out.” ‘Max,’ as he’s known at home in the kennels returned from an injury lay off in late September and is undefeated in seven runs since, including a Group 2 Geelong Cup, three track records and a new first split record in his heat run last week. Despite his impressive record, Thompson believed his charge was under the odds ahead of the final. “He opened at $1.65 to win the final which I thought was a bit short, and with an odds-on favourite you’re expected to win so it’s a different sort of pressure. “But I’ve never had any doubt in his ability, and when he began the way he did he was always going to be hard to run down.” The son of boom sire Magic Sprite is already the subject of considerable interest at stud, how-

Black Magic Opal, Jason Thompson and connections celebrated the Melbourne Cup victory. 110849 ever the 30-month-old sprinter’s immediate future remains on the track with the Group 2 Ballarat Cup and Group 1 Hobart Thousand on the agenda. The win was Black Magic Opal’s third Group race success and 27th victory overall from just 34 career starts. The $350,000 winner’s cheque took his career prize money beyond $496,000. Andrea Dailly’s Dyna Beth and Hawk Alone filled the minor placing, netting the kennel $150,000 in prize money.
The TAB Melbourne Cup headlined a stellar night of racing at Sandown Park, including the Group 1 SOLO Bold Trease for the stayers which was taken out by Cheetah Zorro to continue a fine family tradition. The former Tasmanian led from box rise but was headed as the field approached the home turn before rallying to claim a narrow quarter-length victory in 42.26 seconds. Less than one length separated the first five runners across the line in one of the closest finishes seen in a Group 1 final.

Early effort pays off By JARROD POTTER
Andrew Gale beats the throw from the deep in his debut Dandenong innings. 110850
Picture: JARROD POTTER
Stop start a big upset By JARROD POTTER A LITTLE went a long way for Dandenong (9/173) claiming the season’s biggest upset to date in Premier Cricket - knocking off a star-studded Prahran (169) in a stopstart rain-affected afternoon. Three times the players were called off within the first hour as sporadic rain kept the groundsmen and players shuffling the covers on and off. When a decent patch of play emerged, so did Dandenong’s first
major partnership of the day - with Brett Forsyth (36) and new import Andrew Gale (27) adding 53 for the second scalp. The pair fell to Matt Wilcox (2/1) and quickly the Panthers deteriorated from 1/76 to 5/102 with Cameron Forsyth (11) and James Nanopoulos (13) chipping in to help the tally along. Still 43 in arrears when young spinning all-rounder Jack Worrell (14) fell to Steven Singh (1/22), the next round of Panthers’ revival came from Rob Hearn (27) - who guided
the tail to victory. Hearn lost Dan Doran (1) to a runout from Adam Bull/Mascarenhas before stabilising with Matt Wilcocks (12). Hearn’s 89-ball knock was the critical factor in stopping the Prahran rampage and allowed the deep-tail to push around the final nine runs needed after Hearn fell to Josh Miller (3/63). Thrust into a situation he knows all too well, Justin Butterfield (9no) guided the last few runs into the scoresheet in tandem with James Wilcock (5no) - who kept the five
theme going following his five-wicket haul last week. Former English international Dimitri Mascarenhas (0/26) was miserly but unlucky not to claim any wickets from his 20 overs - including an impressive nine maidens. The win pushes Dandenong back up towards the right end of the ladder - moving into 14th position with a 2-1-4 record. Dandenong faces FrankstonPeninsula next round in a two-dayer at AH Butler Oval.
NOBLE Park’s efforts last week paid dividends as its match against Roxburgh Park/ Broadmeadows was called off early on Saturday afternoon. Resuming at 1/13 a wicket and two runs later the teams were back in the sheds - following the dismissal of Dhanushka Ekanayake (4). Dean Edmunds (6no) and Chanaka Gunawardana (0no) were left at the crease when the match was called - owing in part to the amazing day’s play last weekend which left 21 wickets between these sides dismissed. Noble Park just clutched first innings points, finishing on 56 with a resolute 23 from Jake Richardson proving pivotal as Roxburgh Park/Broadmeadows could only muster 50 in reply. The win keeps Noble Park in the top six in the VSDCA East/West First XI competition, with the fifth place Bulls hosting cross-town rivals Endeavour Hills in a two-dayer at Pat Wright Senior Reserve starting Saturday.
Women’s washout By JARROD POTTER A RARE Saturday fixture for Dandenong Women’s Cricket Club didn’t get going as rain forced a cancellation. Dandenong, sitting fourth on the Victorian Women’s Cricket Association (VWCA) ladder, was set to play last place Plenty Valley, but the match was abandoned as the morning rain set in to leave Greaves Reserve 4 unplayable. The sides split the points in a disappointing day of washed-out cricket, with Dandenong set to make amends next Saturday at home as the Lions take on Box Hill from 11am.
Monkey finally jumps By JARROD POTTER NORTH Dandenong have at last… won!
North Dandenong v Buckley Ridges It’s a sentence that says it all. The Norths (129) have struggled in DDCA Turf 1 for the last two seasons, but captured their first victory on Saturday with a win over Buckley Ridges (98). Resuming at 7/62 - the Ridges approached a cliff between themselves and first-innings points. Aaron Greenidge (44) couldn’t keep the side together like he did last week - succumbing alongside Paul Rudd (15) and Matt Goodwright (5) as Buckley Ridges fell 31-runs short of the first innings tally after 43 overs. Shane Clark (4/7) wielded the ball like a bullet, slicing through Buckley Ridges in the captain’s best return of the season, while Jurgen Anderson (2/21), Yuri Ryobashapka (2/21) and Adam Read (2/32) also took crucial scalps. Clark (4no) and Janahan Kumaralingam (1no) played seven overs before the match was called and the Norths were left to celebrate their first win of the new season.
Parkfield v Springvale South Springvale South (168) conceded its first loss in DDCA Turf 1 this season as Parkfield (220) defended strongly. The Bloods’ openers came and went without troubling the scorers Nathan King (0) and Aaron Morrison (2) were both harassed from the crease early as Matt Aslett (2/28) and Steven (2/22) put wickets in the ledger. Dylan Quirk (19) and Steve Masterson (18) held on for as long as possible before the duo succumbed with
the score at 4/57. The Bloods’ great hope was also their youngest prospect - Ryan Quirk (40) batted sensationally in the tricky conditions - soaking up 147 balls to keep Springvale South in the battle as Jackson Sketcher (3) and Yoshan Kumara (10) fell around him. The next important salvo came from Parkfield’s Travis D’Souza (3/39) - who ripped Masterson, Ryan Quirk and Sketcher from the crease. Tim Ford (45) and Craig Slocombe (22) tried to affect the outcome with an eighth wicket stand of 29, but Ford fell to Samiddha Gallage (2/42) which spelled the end. It keeps Parkfield atop the DDCA Turf 1 ladder with Springvale South falling out of the four.
Coomoora v Mordialloc The weather intervened to keep Coomoora (7/123) and Mordialloc (191) from finishing their skirmish with the Kangaroos in trouble late in the order. The top order collapsed as Rahoul Pankhania (1), Andrew O’Meara (6) and captain Paul Hill (12) couldn’t handle the head from Lance Bence (1/6) and Chathura Athukorala (3/54). Resistance came from Jason Bacic (24) and Rob Johnston (28no) with the latter surviving the carnage around him to see stumps.
Dandenong West v Hallam Kalora Park A rallying middle-order effort pushed Dandenong West (6/147cc) to victory over Hallam Kalora Park (96). Reduced to a one-dayer, the Bulls opened up with a flurry of boundaries as Walid Ghauri (12) struck a couple cleanly before succumbing to Callam Prosser. Number three Gehan Perera (0) didn’t affect the scorecard as his
An extra coat of paint would’ve bought Hallam Kalora Park’s Callum Prosser this scalp of Bulls’ number three Gehan Perera. 110851 Picture: JARROD POTTER edge was found and claimed by Corrie Wilson. Matt Soufilis (10) held on to give Matt Fielding (49) some support, as did Justin Stanton (13) as Fielding raced towards a half century before he was halted a run short by Cory Booth. Anthony Brannan (19) and Shaun Weir
(18) put the last notes on the batting card as the Bulls reached 6/147 from their 40 overs. In response, Hallam Kalora Park was halted at 96 with Andrew Harry (4/50) proving expensive but effective from his 7.5 overs, with Weir (2/22)
and Peter Atkinson (2/18) also getting on the wicket takers’ list.

By RUSSELL BENNETT DANDENONG’S Shukokai Karate Dojo has long had a reputation for producing world-class fighters and star pupil, 28-year-old Kit Fullinfaw has dished out a timely recent reminder - taking home a pair of bronze medals from the Commonwealth Karate Championships in Montreal. Her karate journey started in 1995 after seeing a poster advertising the sport at her local pool. A year later, she was already in the thick of the action at competition level. Then, after some 17 years of pure hard work and dedication, she was named to her first Australian national team. Despite spending more than
Kit Fullinfaw’s relentless, never-say-die attitude has seen her achieve big things on the world stage. 110848 her fair share of time in waiting, Kit was determined to make every post a winner when she finally got her chance to shine - winning bronze in both the kata and kumite disciplines half a world away in Canada. Her sheer drive and determination saw her make the squad on the back of strong performances at both state and national level, and now she’s got her sights set on the next Commonwealth championships in India in 2015. She credits the Shukokai’s top-level coaches including chief instructor Sensei Ennio Anselmi and her fellow fighters for turning her into a force to be reckoned with on the world stage. “I was just ecstatic,” she told the Journal re-
Rangers draw the numbers By JARROD POTTER CROWDS flocked to Dandenong Basketball Stadium this season, with the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) releasing promising figures showing larger crowds for Rangers matches. The club with the highest growth in attendance for men’s SEABL games was Dandenong, the Rangers increasing their attendance by 124.57 per cent. Dandenong also led the league in the women’s association with the highest growth in attendance, at 71.5 per cent. Dandenong Basketball Association CEO David Graham said a lot of factors led to the Rangers filling the stands all season and remain promising signs into the future. “This year the DBA were successful at attracting new crowds to the Dandenong Stadium to watch both SEABL men and women,” Graham said. “The increases from previous years were great to see. I think this happened as a result of a number of factors. “Firstly there has been a solid rise in the number of participants in the game this year, this doubled with the general interest in the game has been significant,” he said. “Our junior championship
cently, following her arrival back on home shores. “It’s been a very long journey just to make the team, and the medals are definitely my career highlight so far.” Kit was particularly thankful to have a coach of Sensei Ennio’s class in her corner. “He is such a great coach because of his passion, dedication, commitment and enthusiasm for the sport, his dojo, and his students,” she said. “His words of encouragement and persistence to help all his students reach their goals - it’s just amazing.” Kit has fought internationally before - in tournaments in Indonesia, Fiji, New Zealand, the United States and Italy - but never had the chance to don
the Australian team tracksuit until this year. And now that she’s had a taste of it, she wants more. The Greens Road-based Shukokai is always on the lookout for new students eager to learn the craft and refine their skills, and caters to everyone from beginner to elite level. The sport improves self-defense skills, and also mental strength, confidence and overall fitness levels. The dojo has been around for 40 years and its list of accolades seems endless. But Shukokai isn’t just synonymous with karate. It also has gym facilities, offers self-defence classes, and teaches Mui Thai, kickboxing and boxing. For more information, call 9794 6005.
Flynn wields Sabres By JARROD POTTER
Dandenong’s success in the SEABL season, has lead to an increase in attendance at Dandenong Basketball Stadium. 105909 Picture: JARROD POTTER teams for example have risen from 37 to 40 teams. “Importantly, also was the quality of players who we put on court - in the men for example the talents of Daequon Montreal and Tony Lewis for the best part of the season were second to none, highlighted by Daequon’s 40-point, 10-rebound MVP effort in the final. “For the women, the Rangers were three-times defending champions and this no doubt had a drawing effect on the crowds.” Graham highlighted the rapid increase of junior and senior support for DBA-run basketball competitions, bulging at the
seams to fit all the teams in, and said it was a great indicator of the area’s support of physical activity. “Dandenong Stadium is huge, yet we still have trouble fitting in all the team and competition requests,” Graham said. “At some stage in the next three to five years more courts will be added to accommodate the sport of basketball and also that of volleyball.” “The growth spurt we are having is tremendous, one which is important for all sorts of reasons including the fightback against video games,” he said.
SANDRINGHAM has snagged a basketball coaching coup, gaining the services of Paul Flynn to head the Sabres women in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL). Flynn, from Berwick, will trade the Dandenong colours for Sandringham’s trademark orange as part of a three-year deal. After a successful season at the helm of the Rangers - as part of a one-year deal with triplepremiership coach Larissa Anderson on maternity leave - Flynn’s Rangers secured a 17-5 record and made it to the semi-finals before their defeat at the hands of Sandringham 65-45. The new Sabres coach was excited to take on the new challenge and was thankful for the experience Dandenong gave him with the SEABL team and the D-League Rangers he coached to back-to-back victories in 2011 and 2012. “I’m excited to be at Sandringham,” Flynn said. “The club has taken some giant leaps forward over the last two-three years and I am looking forward to continuing this trend. “I am grateful for the opportunities Dandenong provided me over the last three years. “To coach two D-League Championships, and an Under-18 National Club Championship and State Championship has been a fantastic experience.” “It was great to return to the SEABL competition in 2013 as coach of the Rangers women. “It will be bizarre sitting down the other end of the court when I come back as the coach of Sandringham in 2014 and squaring off against a number of players I have been involved with over the past few years, but it is definitely a
Paul Flynn has taken a coaching role at Sandringham for the 2014 SEABL season. 98538 Picture: JARROD POTTER challenge I am looking forward to.” Dandenong Basketball Association CEO David Graham said it was a shame to lose Flynn to the Sabres, but wished him the best in his new role. “It was disappointing that we lost Paul to our Sandringham rivals, however it was simply because we didn’t have a role for him,” Graham said. “His contract was for one-year only as head of our SEABL women’s coaching staff after Larissa Anderson requested a one-year break. “Paul took on the role knowing he had only one year as a fill in for Larissa. “Paul is a great person and solid coach with much potential, and all of us here at the DBA wish him well with his new club”.

Punto punts along nicely By EWAN KENNEDY WHILE the overall shape of the latest Fiat Punto may be on the subtle side, Fiat dealers carry an extensive range of customisation gear so your Punto can take its own direction in the styling stakes. Despite its low price the entry level Fiat Punto Pop comes with plenty of standard equipment; denim inserts in the seats, a six-speaker radio/ CD/MP3 audio system with steering wheel controls, and
the Fiat/Microsoft Blue&Me with Bluetooth and voice activation to minimise driver inattention. Fiat Punto Easy has 15inch alloy wheels, more stylish dashboard, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, a front seat armrest, and rear parking sensors. The topline Fiat Punto Lounge that we tested comes with 16-inch alloys, sports seats in the front, a soft-touch finish to the dash, climate control air conditioning, am-
bient lighting and automatic wipers. Passive safety is by way of seven airbags on all models with the exception of the Pop, which misses out on a driver’s knee bag. Major active safety items are ESC and ABS. Handling, ah handling, the Italians do it brilliantly! This may be a conservative looking small car, but it can be hunted along with a great deal of verve on your favourite driving road.
It’s light and nimble, the steering can be done on the throttle when you’re really driving, and the feedback through the wheel and the seat of your pants is excellent. As a bonus, the Fiat Punto probably attracts less attention from the police than its look-at-me brothers, the 500 and Panda. Comfort is surprisingly good when you take into account the sporting nature of the suspension.
Neat styling of the latest Fiat Punto looks to be timeless.

DANDY Exhausts has been a registered business for more than 15 years, with only one owner in its history. Current owner and tradesman Vince Mendes leads a qualified team of tradesmen in the manufacture of quality aftermarket performance car exhaust products. Why replace a car’s exhaust system? There are thousands of reasons to replace an auto exhaust system or muffler. Power levels can be tweaked and engine temperatures lowered by replacing the exhaust and muffler system. Buying new exhaust and mufflers is also one of the easiest ways to soup-up a favourite ride or even to make a car stand out of from others. Get modifications installed by the professionals Why should car owners settle for a shop that claims to specialise in mufflers, suspension and brakes when they can have the confidence of knowing that a vehicle is being worked on right by professionals that have the training and background to handle it without trying to upsell on something that isn’t needed to meet their quota.
