Shower of cash A DANDENONG small business determined to keep its manufacturing in Australia has been buoyed by a $195,000 boost. The Investing in Manufacturing Technology (IMT) grant will help Universal Shower Base grow four-fold over the next three years. Marketing manager Adrian Barr said it was great to see the State Government supporting small business. “It would be fantastic to see the financial community also support local manufacturers and not reward those that import,” he said. “It would be great to see an emphasis on the financial community getting behind local business to grow and employ more people.” Manufacturing Minister David Hodgett last Thursday said the cash would help the family business to buy and install new cold moulding machinery and infrastructure at its Elliott Road facility. “This will increase exports by more than $1 million, create 51 new jobs and enable 13 existing employees to transition to higher duties,” Mr Hodgett said. Project manager Rebecca Lowery’s father Richard started the business in 1992. “My father originally used to manufacture out of a shed on his farm in Tooradin,” she said. “Then the business grew and moved to a factory in Dandenong. I started working with my father in 2003.” Ms Lowery said the team was excited to receive the cash, and hoped this would be just the start of their growth – including a future in exporting. “We spent about seven months putting all the information together,” she said. “It’s a lot of work. Halfway through you do question whether it’s worth it.” Mr Barr said the company had a unique product used to save time and money. “The shower base is a one piece, perfectly-formed floor which includes the correct fall and the waste outlet as one complete piece – not the sum of different parts and different trades,” he said.

“We reduce the trade requirement and we speed up the creation time. “So rather than taking four or five days to create a shower floor, our shower floor is installed in a morning and can be prepared for tiling in the same day. “We remove that labour cost and that labour downtime and we get people back into their bathrooms faster.” Mr Barr said the grant was gamechanging. “Because we have a unique problem, where we’ve got a high demand but a low output,” he said. “Now our output’s going to increase to meet demand and beyond.” He said the business was determined to continue to manufacture in Australia. “We’re a small, privately owned business so we’re reasonably dynamic and don’t have the constraints of the corporates – they have a tendency to look outside their manufacturing base,” he said. “We’re conscious of the desire to grow our team internally. “Most of the guys here have been with the business for quite some time. They like what they do. “It’s a great team environment.” Universal Shower Base was among 20 businesses to receive $3.6 million in grants under the IMT program’s latest round. “Victoria is the hub of Australia’s manufacturing industry, but to meet the challenge of competitive international markets manufacturers must look to increasing investment in new technology to remain competitive,” Mr Hodgett said.

Drug crop raid By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

A SPRINGVALE man has been charged over a $1 million cannabis crop discovered in a factory on the Princes Highway last week. Police from Springvale uniform, Dandenong tasking unit and the Drug Squad’s botany section raided the factory about 7am on Wednesday, seizing 616 cannabis plants of various maturity. Sergeant Mike Hughes, of Springvale police, said the factory contained a “sophisticated” hydroponic set-up powered by an illegal electrical bypass system. He said police arrested a 22-year-old man in a neighbouring house in Grace Street, charging him with cultivating a commercial cannabis crop, cannabis possession and trafficking and stealing electricity. The man was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court. Sergeant Hughes said it wasn’t unusual for factories to be used as cannabis hot-houses. “They will utilise any premises they can get their hands on.” Police had been investigating the factory for about a week. “It looks like a number of crop rotations had gone through the premises, you might find a number of seedlings, a number of small plants and mature plants.”

Surviving the cut By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DANDENONG-based Medicare Local’s success should insulate the branch from speculated federal cuts, its chairman says. Dr Nicholas Demediuk, who chairs South Eastern Melbourne Medicare Local, says it’s hard to predict the fallout from a completed, unreleased review of the nation’s 61 community health care hubs. There had been speculation of changes, including the possible closedown of the $1.8 billion system, to be announced in next week’s Federal Budget. Dr Demediuk believes there could be the closure of some branches and expansion of others to fill the breach.

He was confident SEMML which covers Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia – would be one of the latter. “I don’t think Medicare Locals will disappear completely. “Hopefully high-performing Medicare Locals like ours will continue. We’re happy to expand and take over other regions.” Dr Demediuk pointed to SEMML success-stories such as its role in attracting a headspace youth mental health one-stop shop in Dandenong and one to open in Narre Warren. It had also co-partnered in a PACER program, coupling a mental health nurse with local police to 525 callouts.

Since November, the nurse’s presence had kept more than 380 people out of hospital and 340 from being arrested under the Mental Health Act. The SEMML has also provided a diabetes referral service and a mobile X-ray service that cut the need for aged-care residents travelling to hospital after a fall. Cr Demediuk said it had a hand in “fantastic” immunisation rates in the region; its refugee health pathway regarded as a national “leader”. The branch’s stated aim is to focus on primary care and keep people out of hospital. Raymond Blessing, chief executive of Taskforce youth drugand-alcohol service, says he doesn’t believe the model would be

completely abandoned. “The government doesn’t want to get rid of things that are working. “The SEMML has been terrific in co-ordinating responses to new opportunities and needs in the region.” He says the SEMML has brought providers, such as his service, together in a “one-stop shop”. It had also replaced the “silo” mentality that separated hospitals, GPs, police and agencies in the justice, drug-and-alcohol, youth and mental health fields. “Most of our clients have justice, mental health, drug issues rolled in one - it’s not just one thing.” The Federal Government has yet to announce its intentions.

Disaster on wheels By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN caught driving unlicensed seven times in less than a year has been branded by a magistrate as “the unluckiest driver in the state”. Benjamin Edward Duncan, 20, faced 23 charges – including cannabis possession, a petrol drive-off and multiple counts of driving with stolen number plates and unregistered vehicles – in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday. The court was told Duncan had never held a Victorian driver’s licence at the time of the offending. He often produced his Medicare card to identify himself to police when pulled over for his offences in Dandenong and other parts of Melbourne from April-December 2013. Duncan’s lawyer said her client was a dedicated father, whose life turned when he witnessed his own father involved in a violent attack. The incident led to Duncan being raised in state care, and had “informed his decision with bringing up his own (four-year-old) daughter”. Duncan’s offending coincided with a break-up with his daughter’s mother and a traumatic “runthrough” his house by intruders, the lawyer said. During the break-in, Duncan hid with his daughter while the since-jailed intruders destroyed his possessions and home. He and his daughter sheltered in a car for a week before being placed in emergency accommodation, the lawyer said. She said Duncan’s offending wasn’t aggravated by drink-driving, speeding or dangerous or careless driving. “It’s really about him getting into a car without a licence.” Magistrate Gerard Bryant said Duncan’s “propensity to keep driving” was “obviously disturbing”. He ordered Duncan undertake an assessment for a community-corrections order, foreshadowing a loss of Duncan’s since-acquired learner’s licence.

Afghan migrants adding to our rich cultural tapestry THE many Afghan migrants who have made Dandenong their home have added another welcome layer to the city’s rich multicultural profile. I was delighted when the council announced the Afghan Bazaar cultural precinct in Thomas Street was in line for a fresh look. Last week stage one of the streetscape project was officially launched by the Minister for Multicultural Affairs Matthew Guy. He was joined by Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti and the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Nasir Andisha. The $1.1 million project includes new streetlighting, the removal of overhead powerlines, expanded footpaths, new trees, plants and landscaping. Most arresting of all is the striking new artwork called The Lamp, which stands on the corner of Thomas and Scott streets. The base features blue mosaic til-

Afghanistan is the seventh most common place of birth among resident of the City of Greater Dandenong, while the city itself is the most ethnically diverse area in Victoria with 60 per cent of residents born overseas. “The Afghan Bazaar is fitting tribute to the success of Victoria’s multiculturalism and to the Afghan migrants who have shaped and will continue to shape Dandenong, our state, and our nation,” Mr Guy said.

FLOOD WATCH Melbourne Water is holding a public forum in Dandenong on 19 May from 5.30pm to hear about flooding and flood management across the region. Flooding has always been a hazard from the time the first settlement was created on the banks of the Dandenong Creek. In 1891 a devastating flood affected Dandenong. The Argus of Monday 13 July reported the drama: ‘The waters of Dandenong Creek came down with great force at about 2 o’clock this morning, and completely submerged the lower portions of Dandenong some 6ft. deep. The bowling-green was 7ft. under water. A large raft was made, and fastened on empty oil-drums, and four men tried to go to the assistance of some families who were on the roofs of their houses. The raft was swept away, but the men escaped in the backwash. A telegram was sent to Melbourne for a boat, and one arrived by

Pamir Restaurant owners Shahina Ahad and Alisher Azizullaev with daughter Muslima. 118789 special train at 3 o’clock p.m., and was immediately sent to the rescue. Mrs. Lee, who was on a sick bed, was lifted out on a mattress, and several women and children were also saved. Cattle, fowls, &c, were swept away. Timber is floating out of the timber yards, and has been swept away, but no lives have

been lost.’ While thankfully we don’t face flooding of that magnitude these days, it is still a problem which needs vigilance. For more information got to melbournewater.com.au/yourfloodstrategy

LOOKING BACK 100 years 7 May 1914 About people Mr and Mrs P.J. McQuade and family have now returned from St. Kilda to Dandenong, and taken up their abode at the Albion Hotel. They will be heartily welcomed by a very large circle of friends not only in Dandenong, but in the large district surrounding it. The ratepayers of the Centre riding will be pleased, we feel sure that Cr Mc Quade is again to be a prominent resident among them. Dandenong town is of too much importance to be represented by wholly or partially absentee coun-

cillors. In social matters, of course, Mrs McQuade and her daughters can be depended upon to render valuable assistance upon all occasions on which their assistance is asked. 50 years ago 6 May 1964 Pictures of early Dandenong needed Any photographs of historical buildings or landmarks of Dandenong are required for photocopying for the permanent historical records of the Dandenong Historical Society. All original photographs will be

carefully handled and returned to the owners in good condition. If you can help by loaning any early Dandenong photos for copying contact Mr Warren Titcher, at Titcher’s Pharmacy, 309 Lonsdale Street., Dandenong. Photos of the main street in particular are desired – even up to recent times. Will you help make a permanent record of our district’s history? 20 years ago 9 May 1994 Warm feeling helps keep hospital staff Long-serving staff members have

committed themselves to caring at the Dandenong Hospital more than 186,000 hours. Long service is par for the course at Dandenong Hospital which public relations manager George Coleman, believes it is due to its “old-fashioned style.” In the last two years more than 97 staff members have been recognised for long service over 15 years. Dandenong Hospital is one of the few which encourages “Individualism and Professionalism”. 5 years ago 4 May 2009

More than 130 years of the Journal’s records are just a click away, thanks to volunteers and unemployed people at the Dandenong and District Historical Society. The computer indexing of 2,500 pictures and 3000 text entries has been part of a 4 and ½ years Work for the Dole program at the society. Its president Carmen Powell said researchers could log on to their computers and have details of historical events. “It has been a herculean effort by all concerned,” she said. – Compiled by the Dandenong and District Historial Society

Theory of stupidity Capri Blinds

& Curtains

A MAGISTRATE was moved to quote Einstein when confronted by the “stupidity” of a man charged with multiple hooning offences. Simon Andrew WilliamsonRyan, of Newborough, had pleaded guilty in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday to dropping burnouts several times in Portland in mid to late 2012 and driving while suspended twice in Dandenong in 2013. Magistrate Gerard Bryant asked Williamson-Ryan’s lawyer if there were underlying mental health or drug issues “or is it just stupidity we’re dealing with”. Defence lawyer Bill Grimshaw replied his client regularly used cannabis. Mr Bryant mused: “What is it Einstein said? Intelligence is finite, stupidity is infinite”. The first of Williamson-Ryan’s charges involved circlework in front

of oncoming traffic in Portland in July 2012. Less than two weeks later, he was caught letting his tyres spin again, later telling police it was because his car was to be impounded the next day. It was to be “a last hurrah”, the L-plate licence-holder told them. In September 2012, he circled a roundabout in his car unleashing squealing tyres and smoke until he ran out of petrol. When his car was impounded by police, he allegedly told them they were “f...ing c...s”. A month later, he was videoed dropping a 45-second burn-out in front of a crowd of people in a driveway. Two people were standing next to the car at the time. Mr Bryant described the footage as “frightening” given the proximity of the closest spectators. “He has an appalling traffic history,” Mr Bryant said. “He was

driving in such a way because he felt entitled. He was outraged when confronted about his driving. “The community has little to no tolerance of this high level of hoon behaviour, especially coupled with disrespect for police.” Mr Grimshaw said WilliamsonRyan’s previous careless driving charge was not related to burn-outs; a previous stint in jail for recklessly causing serious injury in 2010 was an assault, not a driving matter. The accused had also been jailed for breaching an intervention order in 2011. Mr Grimshaw said his client should have been aware of the dangers of such driving, especially having suffered head and neck injuries in a serious crash as a passenger in 2010. Williamson-Ryan had since settled in Moe with his partner and three children, and confined his “hobby” to controlled racetrack

meets, the court was told. Police argued that WilliamsonRyan had twice had his licence suspended in 2013 due to demerit-point breaches, and been twice caught driving during these periods. “It points to what’s his general attitude to driving behaviour at the moment,” police prosecutor Cameron Smithett said. Williamson-Ryan was ordered to perform 120 hours of unpaid community work over the next 12 months and undergo drug rehabilition. “If it means you put more food on the table rather than taking smoke in your lungs, that’s probably a good thing,” Mr Bryant told him. “This is a chance to show you’ve grown up. We shouldn’t have to wait for you to get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle and for a tragedy to occur.” He was disqualified from driving for 18 months.

“Our form of democracy is very rare in the world. It is an important part of our national identity - our children have the right to understand that.” The activities sparked a fire in Year 5 student Rajeeva, so excited to learn more about our democracy and to visit our “big” national parliament house. “It will be really busy in there.

They’re trying to make Australia better,” she says. Another student, Ravine, said he loved politics, particularly “all the fighting”. Upon hearing about Canberra’s delights, a Year 6 student said he wished he could repeat next year so he could go on the trip. The crowdfunding campaign mirrors last month’s successful

NEVER has Canberra been talked of in such hallowed terms. Students at St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School in Noble Park are positively champing at the bit to visit the national capital next year. One student, Hui, told the Journal it was his favourite place in the world. “It’s really quiet,” he says. The school’s plan is to take up to 130 students in Year 5 and 6 to Canberra next year, touring our national institutions such as Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial. Last Friday the school launched a crowdfunding online campaign to raise $7500 in 30 days to subsidise the ‘Travelling For Democracy’ trip. Principal Marg Batt says many of the students’ families would not otherwise afford the $800 a head without a subsidy. Students comprise an array of nationalities but many have not ventured outside Melbourne. Many identify themselves with nationalities other than Australian. “We’re trying to build an identity, for them to get a feel for their Australian-ness,” Ms Batt says. Last week, the students took part in a democracy day at the school designing coats-of-arms, re-enacting the Eureka Stockade in costume and finding out the highlights of Canberra. “You can’t do citizenship without understanding about mateship and the Southern Cross,” Ms Batt says.

It’s back to school at Dandy Primary DANDENONG Primary School has educated thousands of pupils since it opened its doors 140 years ago. Many former students returned to the Foster Street school grounds to celebrate the milestone at a commu-

nity fun day on Saturday. Dandenong’s first state school was originally on the corner of Robinson and Foster streets, and officially opened its classrooms on 4 May 1874.

The site was considered too dangerous for children once the Gippsland Railway opened, and the school relocated to its present site on 4 March 1881.

Above - Irene Bending (now Irene Rice) went to Dandenong Primary in 1932 as did her mother Esme. All six of Irene’s children went to the school as well. 119235

Ice disaster By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IT’S a bit of a disaster. That’s how youth drug and alcohol agency chief Raymond Blessing bluntly describes the widely-described pandemic of ice - otherwise known as crystal methamphetamine. Mr Blessing, chief executive of Taskforce, says it’s a “huge” problem that creates multiple violence and mental health issues. It’s causing strain on so many services: hospitals, police, mental health and social support agencies. “I’m surprised that this is news,” Mr Blessing says. “This has been around the place for a couple of years.” The drug’s proliferation was confirmed by the Australian Crime Commission last week. In its Illicit Drug Data Report, the number of amphet-

successful policing, not necessarily of increased drug use. Mr Blessing says police are “struggling” to curtail the pandemic’s violent side-effects spilling into homes and streets. The violent crimes stem from the long-term user’s paranoia, he says. “They have a weapon because they think they’re going to be attacked. Youths are attacking each other, they’re attacking their families. “It’s much worse than heroin ever was.” He says a large number of unemployed young people in the Greater Dandenong-CaseyCardinia region were susceptible to falling into ice use. “It does take away their pain. It brings new degrees of happiness to their lives at first but then it’s a long-term disaster for them.”

amine-type stimulant arrests jumped by 50.5 per cent to 6762 in Victoria in 2012-13. The weight of such substances seized had leapt 219.1 per cent - to 1.85 tonnes - in this state. Inspector Bruce Kitchen, who commands Greater Dandenong police service area, said ice had come onto the radar of local police as an issue. “With ice, it becomes an increasing factor in crime from family violence to street assaults.” Senior Sergeant Martin O’Brien, of Greater Dandenong CIU, however points out that more arrests are a by-product of

Truckies truckin’ trouble HEAVY vehicles are in the sights of Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol. Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said his team was running Operation Austrans throughout May. He said they’d be looking out for the usual infringements like failing to wear seatbelts - as well as checking work diaries. “We’ll be making sure they’re not exceeding their hours and are taking appropriate breaks,” Sen Sgt Roberts said.

Officers will intercept heavy vehicles and check their loads, restraints and dimensions. “To make sure they’re going to be safe out there on the roads,” he said. “They do pose a problem.” Sen Sgt Roberts highlighted the fatal truck and train collision at Abbott’s Road in 2012. “I’m not saying specifically that it was the case in this situation, but when drivers are not sticking to regulated hours it causes these sorts of issues, where drivers

RE: $160 million ends boomgate wait. THIS is amazing news to hear for Springvale residents, commuters, shop owners and motorists using the busy, notorious Springvale level crossing every day. About 25,000 vehicles and over 500 trains pass through this busy intersection every day and

therefore smart investment by the Coalition Government ensured that safety, punctuality and better transport facility was mandatory for upgrade. This $160 million upgrade will ensure that more level crossings in the Dandenong corridor like Heatherton and Chandler roads, Noble Park, and Clayton and Centre roads, Clayton, will be fully grade separated underground like Springvale and be fully manned from first to last train. It is a splendid job that the Napthine Government is very committed to removing more and more level crossings, compared to unclear dates set by the Labor Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews. Victorians should think sharp and think triple times to keep voting for Liberal as they are pushing (investing) money for Victorians to restore hope, reward and opportunity. Andrew Dac Ho, via web.

Well of wishes HAFTU Strintzos used to go looking for gold to buy school supplies. Now the Haileybury Keysborough student and his classmates are raising money to supply water to his former school in Tigray, Ethiopia. “I really am proud. I didn’t imagine this would happen,” he said. The 14-year-old arrived in Australia about two years ago after aid worker Maria Strintzos adopted him in 2010. He lost both his parents when he was just five years old. “It was very different for me. I was really just looking around all the time, very fascinated by everything,” he said. “We used to sleep on the floor, normally on animal skin. “We didn’t have all the nec-

essary equipment for school. I used to go looking for gold in order to buy my necessary equipment for school. My pen or book. We didn’t have desks.” Haftu marvelled at television. “I thought ‘how could the people fit in this small box?’,” he said. “I thought they were actually real people.” “Now they’ve started spreading around (Ethiopia). Electricity is going around the villages.” He’s made return trips to his village but feels “really emotional to go back there and see the people like that”. So Haftu and Maria have been sharing their stories in Haileybury classrooms. “They’re all going to play a dynamic role in transforming

the lives of nearly 400 children that go to Haftu’s school back in the village,” Maria said. “Most schools there, they don’t have latrines and they don’t have water sources. “So they go to school with nothing to drink and nothing to eat for most of the day, so the learning environment’s very difficult.” So fund-raising will support a hand-dug well, which Maria hopes will lead to a vegie garden and nutrition and hygiene classes. “Haftu is living testimony of social justice come good,” she said. “It makes it more personal and it helps the children connect with the issues when they see a student from their own school that’s gone through this, and it’s not just make-believe.”

No bunnies for this Easter EASTER brought some wanted attention to hundreds of bunnies in Keysborough. Melbourne Water conducted rabbit baiting in a drain beside 402 Corrigan Road during the recent school holidays. In February, the Journal reported that the site’s users had battled against the vermin in plague proportions for the past five years, and that most seemed to emerge from a neighbouring drain. Melbourne Water maintenance team leader David Leggo said evidence so far showed the baiting plus actions at Resurrec-

tion Primary School had resulted in rabbits moving from the site. “We will inspect our drain again in a fortnight to see if the rabbit prevention measures are still effective,” he said. Melbourne Water has scheduled another rabbit management program for the site in late June, during the school holidays, and will continue to monitor the site into spring when rabbits are most likely to re-emerge. School principal Steve Bellesini said there seemed to be fewer rabbits around, and newly-planted grass remained intact.

“We’ve put some wire along the fenceline. Eventually we’re going to get our working bee to continue all the way down,” he said. Keysborough Learning Centre (KLC) general manager Neil Cooper said foxes, attracted by the rabbits, remained and he’d hired a company to set traps. “I’ve got students, I’ve got elderly and I’ve got disabled,” he said. “We have seen the foxes out there during the day a couple of times. “We do know that they’re there.”

Helping save lives By CASEY NEILL ONE person in Australia will die from bowel cancer every two hours. And Dandenong Rotary is doing its bit to reduce this shocking figure. Rotarian Trevor Harding’s niece Debbie Greer died from the disease about 15 years ago at age 38. “She’d had a colonoscopy as well and they missed it,” he said. “It’s scary. It’s really scary.” So he’s helping others avoid her fate by running a project that offers $10 Bowelscan kits at Dandenong pharmacies during May. “We have saved five people in the Dandenong area,” Mr Harding said. “We give out, not enough, but around about 250 tests. “We would like to see four or five times that many.”

Participants return the test to their chemist to be sent for testing. “These tests don’t detect cancer,” Mr Harding said. “They detect blood in your system, then they refer you to a doctor to get it checked out further. “Do not wait for symptoms to appear before acting – it might be too late.” Kits are available from Terry White Chemists in Dandenong Plaza, Dandenong Central Pharmacy on the corner of Walker and Langhorne streets, and Chemist Warehouse at 265 Lonsdale Street. Call Mr Harding on 0409 797 730 for more information. Right: Trevor Harding with a Bowelscan kit. 118940

Dandenong Oasis NOT HAPPY AT YOUR GYM?? JOIN FROM ANOTHER GYM OFFER

Council weighs in on race speech changes debate GREATER Dandenong Council has joined a tide of opposition against proposed amendments to federal racial discrimination laws. Last Monday, the council resolved to make a submission on the Federal Government’s ‘freedom of speech’ bill exposure draft – which critics say will lessen legal protections against racist speech. Mayor Jim Memeti said the council – Victoria’s most culturally diverse – would be joining more than 200 municipalities opposing the bill. “I think we should be bringing people together, not dividing them.” In a council report on Monday, it was argued the government should instead fund more programs to eliminate racism and discrimination. The council stated the proposed extension of free speech – including broad exemptions for racial villifiation – would make breaches of the Race Discrimination Act hard to prove. It stated community members feared the change may encourage “race-based insults” and aggravate ethnic conflicts. “Greater Dandenong Council celebrates cultural diversity with pride and seeks to build a harmonious community where all residents enjoy a sense of security and belonging,” the report stated. “Freedom of speech is a valued aspect of Australia’s liberal democracy. “However, such freedom of speech has never been absolute but is limited by respect for the rights and reputations of others.” Public submissions closed on Wednesday.

TWO teens will answer charges over a robbery and assault in central Dandenong. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Adam Dixon said an 18-year-old man was walking on Robinson Street on 24 April when two people approached and demanded cash and his mobile phone. He alleged they then punched the victim in the face and took the items. The victim received minor injuries. Dandenong detectives arrested a 16-yearold boy later that day and charged him with robbery. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Children’s Court on 1 May. They arrested and charged a 14-year-old girl with robbery on 28 April. She is to appear at Dandenong Children’s Court on 16 May.

Teen armed robbery charges TWO teenagers will answer charges over an alleged attempted armed robbery in Springvale South last week. Casey CIU detectives said the incident unfolded about 3.30pm on Saturday 26 April at Burden Park, and resulted in a 24-year-old man being taken to Dandenong Hospital with a wound to his neck. That night they charged a 15-year-old boy from Springvale and a 16-year-old boy from Ferntree Gully with attempted armed robbery and recklessly causing serious injury. The teens were released on bail to appear in the Children’s Court at a later date. Detectives urged anyone who witnessed the attack to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au

SPRINGVALE’S May Dang is doing her bit to change the way people think about poverty. She’ll take part in Live Below the Line, an anti-poverty challenge that runs from 5 to 9 May and aims to change the way Australians think about extreme poverty. Participants will survive on $2 a day for five days and fundraise for education projects in East Timor, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea. “I did it last year and I managed to raise over $1000,” May said. “This year I’m taking it to seven days. It’s a bit of a challenge but it’s for a good cause. “My parents weren’t born in Australia. They’re from Vietnam and China. “I was lucky enough that they migrated here. “I could have been one of those kids in another country.” Last time around May rationed a 99-cent loaf of bread and ate $1 noodles for dinner. “I managed to go into the local fresh supermarkets at the end of the day and got a bag of eggplants for 50 cents,” May said. “They’re pretty bland to eat on their own. I haven’t had eggplants ever since.” It showed May what it was like to have no choice about what and when she ate, and left her low on energy. “I got really tired and I’d have to just sleep it out,” she said. “Because I knew I had to

‘Keep the rage’ By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN ordered by a court to create a road-safety campaign after nearly killing himself and four passengers in a drink-driving crash last year has been told that he must maintain the rage after his final sentencing in August. Cadmiel ‘Tibby’ Duscas, of Noble Park, had been challenged in court by Dandenong Magistrate Greg Connellan in October – in lieu of a lengthy jail term – to use social media and visit schools to spread a salutary warning to young people. On Monday, Duscas gave a progress report to Magistrate Connellan, telling him there were plans for a road-safety community barbecue promoted by a Lions Club branch in Jells Park, Wheelers Hill. His Facebook page Our Sec-

ond Chance - Almost Fatality to Reality – comprising graphic drink-driving illustrations and videos and Duscas and his passengers’ account of the crash and their injuries – had got a “fair bit of traffic”, he said. As of last week, the page had accumulated 866 likes. Duscas told the court he could be visiting schools such as Carwatha College, Noble Park, as soon as this year, bringing in ‘beer goggles’ that replicate alcohol-induced impairment as well as possibly a police-supplied video of the scene soon after his near-fatal crash. “I can’t just go in and preach. I have to make it handson,” he said. Magistrate Connellan told Duscas of his own chance meeting with drama teachers who

were interested in creating a school production “around these issues”. Duscas replied he would be interested in being part of such a concept. The magistrate said he wanted documentary evidence of Duscas’s campaign before finalising his sentence in August – just prior to suspended sentences ceasing as an option. “I’ll impose a suspended sentence for most of the charges and require an undertaking to continue what you’re doing.” In October, Mr Connellan had banned Duscas from driving for four years and deferred further sentencing – including a possible jail term of more than 10 years - for driving under the influence and negligently causing serious injury to his four passengers.

Connecting people and communities

We are not terrorists I AM among hundreds of Dandenong residents shocked to be branded recently as terrorists by the Sri Lankan Government through membership of peaceful Tamil community organisations in Australia. The groups listed are Australian Tamil Congress, Tamil Youth Organisation, Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation and the Tamil Co-ordinating Committee. I’m one of the committee members of ATC and have been a member of two of the other groups. The general objective of these groups is to promote Tamil culture and help millions of Tamils suffering in poverty in Sri Lanka. The worldwide list of 16 groups and 424 individuals, which included nine Australians, has been exposed as a joke and a sham, not least because it contains at least one 90-year-old, a dead person and a member of the ruling government party. The UK, Canadian

and US governments have dismissed it, saying they will continue to deal with the Tamil community and have seen no evidence that any of these groups are even remotely connected with terrorism. In fact, the UK and Canadian governments warned against misusing terrorism laws for political purposes. Unfortunately, although the Australian government has said the Australian groups are not terrorist organisations, it has not joined with its traditional allies in condemning the Sri Lankan regime. This is because Australia puts its

“stop-the-boats” policy above its commitment to human rights. It seems strange that while the US and UK have been major drivers of the current UN investigation into Sri Lankan government war crimes at the end of the civil war in 2009, Australia’s Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, never stops praising the regime and has been accused of publicly condoning its well-documented torture of Tamils - all because he has an arrangement with Sri Lanka to stop asylum-seekers from coming here. At 13, I arrived from Sri Lanka as an asylum-seeker with bad memories. My school was bombed by the Sri Lankan Air Force. I saw many children die that day, including my brother and three of my cousins. The terrorism designation of our groups is a ploy by the government to do two main things. It wants to silence all Tamil activists within Sri Lanka and it wants to break the connection

between the worldwide Tamil diaspora and the brutally-oppressed Tamil population in Sri Lanka. Under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, which remains in force five years after the war ended, as does the military occupation of the Tamil homeland in the north and east of the country, the Sri Lankan government can jail anyone it deems a “terrorist” for up to 18 months without charge or access to a lawyer. It means that if I went back to Sri Lanka tomorrow, I would most likely be locked away in a cell for months, and probably be tortured. The same goes for any Australian citizen who has anything to do with these organisations, which are doing no more than raising funds for hospitals, schools and war-devastated families. Last month the government propagandists started fear-mongering about

a revival of the long-dead Tamil Tigers. It is no coincidence that the terrorism label was unveiled at the same time. They arrested scores for ‘terrorist activities’, charges which respected human rights bodies have said are fabricated. They shot dead three Tamil men and arrested their relatives, as well as a 50-year-old woman and her 13-year-old daughter, who had been campaigning for the release of their missing son and brother taken by the Sri Lankan army. They still don’t know where he is. For all this bluster about terrorism from the Sri Lankan government, Tamils will not be cowed. They will continue to speak out against the genocidal regime. The people who have remained there have no voice. As a Tamil who still has a voice, it’s my responsibility to speak for them.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Manufacturing and working smarter By CASEY NEILL COLLABORATION and tapping into universities were the key topics at a manufacturing forum in Dandenong last week. About 60 people attended the event at the City of Greater Dandenong civic centre last Thursday, held in response to industry and local government concerns expressed to local Labor MPs. South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) president Simon Whiteley highlighted a lack of skilled labour, wage rates, investment in other manufacturing regions and congestion. “The development of the Port of Hastings would be well-received in this area,” he said. “It costs more to get product to the port than it does to then ship it to New Zealand.” Australian Industry Group (Victoria) director Tim Piper said a downturn in manufacturing was a national problem. “I don’t think governments - plural - appreciate the value of buying local,” he said. Mr Piper said paying to develop something within the economy fostered collaboration and generated income tax and employment. “It gives us a chance to prosper,” he said. Kim Carr, the Opposition spokesman for higher education, research, innovation and industry, said “one should look to manufacturing with a

Monash Centre for Additive Manufacturing director Professor Xinhua Wu and Manufacturing Excellence Taskforce Australia (META) chairman Albert Goller. sense of hope and a sense of optimism and a sense of confidence”. “Manufacturers for generations have built with adversity and have come through,” he said. “It’s a way of life. It’s not just earning a quid.”

He said our economic system was based on individual competition or “survival of the fittest”, so it was hard for businesses to come together. “But a country of our size simply can’t afford to ignore the opportunities to co-operate,” he said. Mr Carr said researchers needed to

work with industry, and pointed out that wifi originated from physics research into black holes. Monash Centre for Additive Manufacturing director Professor Xinhua Wu said manufacturers around the world were facing challenges. She said new 3D printing technol-

ogy was not going to save all manufacturers, but “boundless imagination can be realised through technology”. “If you are not involved, you will be left behind by the world,” she said. Ms Wu said there needed to be a change in government policy to bring investment and expertise together, and manufacturers needed to think about how to activate the enormous talent at universities. She said the collaboration needed to be a win-win, with the researcher’s achievement at least recognised, if not financially. Manufacturing Excellence Taskforce Australia (META) chairman Albert Goller has worked in five countries. “There’s not any country that has a future in not manufacturing,” he said. He said bipartisan agreement on a 10 to 15 year plan for manufacturing was needed. “It’s too important to change policy every three years,” he said. Mr Goller said collaboration and co-operation were “unbelievable important”. “Networks will be the foundation of competition,” he said. He urged businesses to look at what other companies had available before investing in their own equipment. He said some had machines that were 70 per cent utilised, and timesharing to reduce costs was an option.

Rents also continue to show growth across most types of houses and units. In the March quarter the median weekly rental for a twobedroom houses was $250, up two per cent on the previous quarter, while three-bedroom houses recorded a $290 a week median rental, unchanged from the previous quarter.

Rental vacancies across regional Victoria have remained low and continued to decline in the first three months of this year. New REIV data shows the state’s overall vacancy rate of 2.7 per cent was down from 2.8 per cent in the final three months of last year and 3.2 per cent a year ago. Vacancy rates were down in every part of Victoria surveyed by REIV except Ballarat and the Central Highlands, where the increase was just 0.2 per cent to 2.2 per cent - still very low in an area

ENTERTAINMENT Black opal’s heart of darkness

WHAT’S ON

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Book club

CHARACTERS as rugged as the Lightning Ridge desertscape stole photojournalist Lucy Di Paolo’s heart. Ms Di Paolo, a former Journal photographer, had followed the footsteps of her late mother who had lived on and off in the opal mining town 770 kilometres north-west of Sydney. She wanted to know why her late mother Marisol called it home. She ended up creating a photo-exhibition and book Fragile Black Heart – cataloguing charismatic townspeople and their stories. When Ms Di Paolo picks up the book, she can’t help but smile. She thinks of the warm, friendly characters, the ones who poured out stories as they downed drinks together. “I’ve highlighted the diehard miners with opals in their blood; there are those who like the lifestyle and freedom. “It’s a slow pace. They have got their own time – Lightning Ridge time. “I found a few people I trust.” For her mother, there was the allure of the prized black opal. Few prospectors in the town make a good living; most are on welfare benefits. Under this “traditional”

Strip to shine NEW trees, bins, benches and paint will soon spruce up the Hemmings Street shopping strip. City of Greater Dandenong councillors approved immediate improvement works for the Dandenong West precinct at their meeting last week, and agreed to partner with the community for further revitalisation. A notice of motion from Councillor Matthew Kirwan in May last year said residents and traders appreciated the centre but thought it appeared rundown, had safety issues, lacked an appropriate mix of shops and didn’t fully capitalise on the

potential of its village feel and good accessibility. Social enterprise CoDesign Studio prepared a report on the situation after hosting a “codesign activity” in Hemmings Street on 22 November last year. It included communication with traders, landowners, residents and nearby Dandenong West Primary School and logged suggested improvements under four themes - safety, amenity, attractiveness and community cohesion. In response, over the next six months the council will plant trees, increase the number of bins and install benches.

YOUR HEALTH YOUR IMAGE

It will work with businesses to upgrade existing shopfronts, re-paint the existing pedestrian crossing and liaise with property owners to clean up graffiti and repaint where possible. CoDesign Studio concluded that the high level of community interest and participation in its activity indicated there was scope for people to be more involved directly in co-designed revitalisation efforts. The community also indicated it would like to see more CCTV and improved streetlighting, promotional signs to direct people to the precinct, drinking fountains, parking management improvements and community festivals.

THE most common skin cancers to affect the eyelids are basal cell cancers according to the team at Sun Patrol, Berwick. Basal cell cancers affect the lower eyelid more often than the upper eyelid, according to Sun Patrol. This is because the lower eyelid protrudes like a small shelf and catches more sunlight. Like basal cell cancers elsewhere they are caused by high levels of accumulated sun exposure over decades. They start to appear in people from their thirties onwards in Australia. They present in two ways: 1) A small pink or clear cyst which appears and grows over months 2) A red, indented lesion or notch in the lid margin To confuse things non-cancerous, benign cysts also appear often on the eyelid margins. It is often difficult for a doctor to distinguish a benign eyelid cyst from a basal cell cancer, even with high-quality magnifying equipment. It is often necessary to take a punch biopsy from cystic lesions on eyelids under local anaesthetic. This can be done by your GP or in a skin cancer clinic but it may be best to attend a specialist opthalmologist or plastic surgeon. If a basal cell cancer is confirmed, surgical excision is required. If neglected, such cancers can erode away the eyelid and be very disfiguring so early detection is very important. Surgical excision of eyelid basal cell cancers is nearly always done by specialist ophthalmic surgeons or plastic surgeons. It you are worried about basal cell cancers or other skin cancers contact Sun Patrol, 48 Van Der Haar Ave, Berwick or phone 9769 3358.

I ve been using Body Be Best for weight loss and body sculpting. I am thrilled with the results. I have lost 5 kilos and 24cm from my torso, which equates to 2 dress sizes for me, since I started. When talking to the consultants about my severe Carpal Tunnel problems, I also discovered the beneits of the micro current machine as a symptom relief for the pins and needles, and the numbness I was experiencing in my hands and I was delighted with the unexpected results. I found after only a few treatments I was waking up with no pins and needles or numbness! I found driving easier and using my hands for tasks that usually I gave up on had greater improvement. I would like to thank very much the staff and management of Body Be Best as I have found them to be of the highest professional and personal standards and I highly recommend this experience. Julie, 45, Wantirna I was having so much pain my itness was disappearing at a great rate. Low and behold after two treatments the pain started to subside which enabled me to resume training, and after one month I was back on track to compete at the World Masters Games.

MOTHER’S DAY

Business is blooming

Karinga Nursery owner Roy Schirmer among a field of blooms. 119523 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS

A KEYSBOROUGH business is set to bring joy to mums around Australia this Mother’s Day. Staff at wholesale commercial nursery Karinga on Keys Road have been tending 150,000 pots of chrysanthamums, which will be trucked to Coles and Woolworths stores around the country in the lead-up to Mother’s Day. Owner Roy Schirmer said traditional colours such as pink and white chrysanthamums were still the most popular choice of flower for Aussie mums, though other colours, such as red and purple, and varigated blooms in yellow and orange were also sought-after in May. Chrysanthemums are naturally in season in autumn, so are plentiful in time for Mother’s Day. Potted chrysanthemums can last for weeks indoors if watered when dry and kept in a well-lit spot. A family business, Karninga Nursery has been growing flowers in Keysborough for 40 years. It produces more than one million pots a year. Mother’s Day is one of the nursery’s busiest times of the year with flowers destined for stores across Victoria as well as NSW, South Australia and Queensland. – Narelle Coulter

MOTHER’S DAY Words of wisdom through the ages about mothers “GOD could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.” – Jewish Proverb. “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.” – Abraham Lincoln. “A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.” – Irish Proverb “Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.” – Aristotle.

“My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.” – Pablo Picasso. “Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.” – Oprah Winfrey. “A mother’s arms are more comforting than anyone else’s.” – Diana, Princess of Wales. “The hand that rocks the

cradle is the hand that rules the world.” – W. R. Wallace. “All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.” – Oscar Wilde “My mother ... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel.

DANDENONG JOURNAL

As time goes by LAST week Marg Stork reported on the discovery of a rare 16mm film shot in Dandenong in 1957, which was unearthed among memorabilia stored after the closure of Dandenong Girls’ High School. This week the Journal reproduces more images from the rare film, which also captured scenes from the agricultural show held in November

Fines add up

1957 at the old Dandenong showgrounds in Clow Street. DVDs of the two films have been professionally edited and are available from Dandenong High School or the ex-student association’s website. If you know anyone in any of these images let us know at journal@starnewsgroup.com.au

Connecting people and communities

Horses entered in the 1957 agricultural show.

YOUNG people in Greater Dandenong owe more than $3 million in traffic fines, the Sheriff’s Office has revealed. Almost 2000 residents of the municipality aged 18 to 24 years share almost 9000 outstanding warrants, with a total bill of $3,183,871. Sheriff of Victoria Brendan Facey said most were from speeding, parking illegally and failing to pay tolls. “Ignoring fines could lead your freedom machine to be clamped,” he said. There are increased fees at each stage a fine is ignored, progressing to a warrant. Ignoring a small toll could lead to a warrant worth more than $300. Sheriff’s Officers have powers to suspend drivers’ licences and registration, place clamps on cars, seize property and arrest people. “Parents should ensure they talk to their children about the importance of having an e-tag if they are using toll roads and the need to pay their bills and fines on time,” Mr Facey said. Call Civic Compliance Victoria on 1300 221 249 to check for outstanding fines.

SPORT

The record stands! By JARROD POTTER SOME records were made to stand the test of time. Football records seem to tumble every year as players notch more and more possessions and careers stretch longer and longer. There remains one record from the 1960s that has great local significance and will likely never to be touched. As an under-14s player at Noble Park Football Club, Doug Ensor, now 61 and living in Coronet Bay, had the goal umpires working feverishly on at Dunblane Reserve as he slotted 60 goals and eight behinds. That’s not a typing error - the young Ensor booted 60 goals as part of Noble Park’s 69.15 (429) to 0.0 (0) thumping of Dandenong South and finished the year on a high with 208 majors, which were expertly noted in one of his many scrapbooks and diaries he kept throughout the years. “What I remember is not a lot really as you can tell by the date of it, 1967 which is 47 years ago, it’s a long time ago,” Ensor said.

“Little bit sketchy about the game itself, but what I do remember basically is I was full forward and we played against a full strength side in Dandenong South. “Heard all the jokes about playing against the blind school or a half-strength side, but they were full strength that day.” Ensor had the ball-on-a-string that day as the Plants - Bobby and Micky - set him up time after time to notch his way towards the 60 goal haul. After doing the media rounds, with an appearance on World of Sport and being interviewed by one of his heroes Lou Richards, Ensor settled back into his routine and in the last game of the year he kicked 40 to surpass 200 goals in the regular season. Ensor claimed every position applicable at the senior club once he switched across - becoming captain and a 250 game legend of the club, coach and president of the club in 1986/87 and senior premiers in those two years. Ensor still attends regular metropolitan football, but admits he doesn’t see his beloved Bulls as much as he’d like as he’s always out supporting his son Mark, who is close to notching 300

Doug Ensor kept a copy of The Herald from 17 June 1967 when he was put on the front Pictures: JARROD POTTER cover as a dynamo full forward who kicked 60 goals. 119013 games for Beaumaris. Ensor wants to thank the contributions of his coach Pat ‘Taffy’ Jones for getting through to the team the ideas of mateship and sticking together for the greater good of the club. “Taffy Jones, he’s a Noble Park boy through

and through, “Ensor said. “He was one of the all-time-greats of that era - 1950s and 60s when he was involved - and I’d like to emphasise him as he instilled a team orientated spirit into us… it’s not just me, it’s us as a team and that’s what it was.”

Toughest game… first up By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG Stingrays were missing a key part of their coaching panel this week, but Wayne Siekman had a pretty good reason for his absence. Seikman has jetted off to Canberra with the Victoria Metro Youth Girls’ team he has taken the reins of this season and the girls will square off in Canberra this week against teams from around Australia in pursuit of the national title. Dandenong gave him the blessing to pursue Youth Girls’ coaching last season under long-serving state coach Paul Groves, but with a new job opportunity for Groves at Calder Cannons it put in motion a chance for Siekman to take the helm. “Last year Paul Groves was the coach and I was keen to explore coaching at the elite high performance areas and he said there was an opportunity to come on as assistant last year,” Siekman said. “The Stingrays gave me the all clear and the go-ahead and the chance to go off with it last year and Grovesy became the senior assistant at Calder… he couldn’t commit to being head coach this year and the door opened up.” With the Youth Girls’ national championships the premier competition for junior female footballers in Australia currently, Siekman sees his appointment as a great honour to coach the best of Victoria Metro’s talent. “To coach a high performance team at state level is fantastic, especially for the girls as between 14-18 this is the highest level the girls can get to,” Siekman said. “It’s the pinnacle of where these girls can get to as juniors so it’s a privilege to lead them this year.” The last hit-out for Vic Metro before the National Championships was a practice match on ANZAC Day against Vic Country, which the Metro girls won comfortably 11.10 (76) to 1.0 (6), but the score was not relevant to Siekman and his charges.

Wayne Siekman, pictured in a Dandenong Stingrays huddle earlier this season, will trade the elite boys for the elite girls as Victoria Metro’s Youth Girls’ coach for the national championships in Canberra. 117763 Picture: JARROD POTTER “The main focus on (last) Friday was not to worry about the scoreboard - but our structures and game styles and the way the girls went out and executed what we were doing on the track highlighted what we’ve been doing together. “They’re willing to learn and wanting to learn and a credit to the 27 girls going away… we’re on the right track to defend our title at the nationals next week.” With a tough challenge against Western Australia first up, Siekman knows there isn’t any time to ease into the

championships and will rely on his girls to fire up from the first bounce. “We’ve got WA first up on Sunday which is going to be our biggest danger and they have an experienced side and we’ll have to be on our game to beat them,” Siekman said. “If we’re ready to go, like we did on Friday, it will be in the girls’ hands what they can achieve.” Vic Metro faced Western Australia on Sunday afternoon after the Dandenong Journal went to print.

Stellar season By JARROD POTTER THE accolades just keep coming for Noble Park Cricket Club spearhead Rizan Mawzoon. Mawzoon was named in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association’s team of the year at the association’s awards night on Friday, capping off his stellar season with the ball as he snared 48 wickets at 12.31 and a superhuman seven five-wicket-or-more hauls. He led all-comers as the leading wicket-taker in any of the VS-

DCA’s senior divisions and also chipping in for critical runs when necessary, such as his resolute 58 against Werribee in the semi-final to guide the Bulls into the big dance and finish the season with a batting average of 18. Mawzoon was also awarded Man of the Match in the VSDCA East/West grand final in March, taking 5/30 from his 22.5 overs to knock over Oakleigh cheaply and help the side bring the pennant back to Pat Wright Senior Oval for season 2013/14.

Cannonfire too strong

Big V Division 2 - round 7

By JARROD POTTER CANNONFIRE demolished the Dandenong Thunder as Oakleigh smashed in six goals-to-nil on Friday night. In one of the bigger losses so far in the NPL Victoria set-up, Dandenong was left to lick its numerous wounds as Oakleigh savagely struck half-a-dozen headaches into the Thunder net. Without striker Jake Nakic - out with a hamstring injury - Thunder coach Dean Hennessey was forced to tinker with the line-up and go small and young up forward with Matt Millar and Keiran Dover. It wasn’t the Thunder forward line that needed the extra support though as Dandenong’s defence perforated early. Goran Zoric weaved his magic down the right wing to slot two quick goals inside the first 20 minutes. The Thunder’s passing will come under serious scrutiny as possession was gifted to Oakleigh seemingly at the Cannons’ will. A 0-2 half-time deficit seemed bad enough, but it only got worse for the Thunder as Dean Piemonte started his rampage when he was subbed on in the second half. The Thunder was reduced to 10 men in the second half as David King was given a red card for a lastman take down of Oakleigh’s Dusan Bosnjak. Rama Tavsancioglu was the only Thunder player to score on the night, but unfortunately for the experienced defender it was into Dandenong’s net, as a deflection owngoal pushed the lead out further for

Piemonte slotted a hat-trick after half-time included a pair in the dying 10 minutes to cap off an impressive effort off the pine to further pile on the misery for Dandenong. “It’s a very, very disappointing result,” Hennessey said. “Obviously we’re a proud club and we never want to get beaten six-nil by anybody, but I’ve just said to the boys, we’ve got off to a good start this season and we can’t let this

undo us.”We could’ve got beaten one-nil and still got nothing. “Okay, we got beaten six-nil and it doesn’t help the goal difference, but it’s a defeat and we’ve got to learn from that we have to make sure it hurts. “Utilise this experience and that it really hurts… lot of young lads in that dressing room and sometimes it goes wrong and the only way you learn is by lessons… we were given a lesson tonight!”

The Thunder faces Doveton SC in the State Knockout Cup Round 5 clash on Wednesday night before heading off to face Northcote in Round 7 NPL action. In other results, Springvale White Eagles claimed its second win with a 3-1 triumph over Brunswick City as Dejan Erakovic and Jamie De Smit (2 goals) scored the match winners while Dandenong City was bested 1-3 by Kingston FC following a goal from John Carroll.

SEABL - round 6

Rangers charged over carry-on By JARROD POTTER RANGERS swung through Canberra on Saturday night and flew out Sunday with a pair of wins in the carry-on luggage. The men brushed aside the Canberra Gunners in a 85-75 triumph on Saturday night. Canberra gunned ahead 28-20 at the end of the first, but hard-work was wrought by Dandenong in the second term to drag back the deficit and take a one-point lead at the half. Basketball Victoria’s Male Coach of the Year Darren Perry had his work cut

out for himself to rotate the Rangers’ younger guards with star point Andrew Harms not taking the court. Tall timber was a cut above for the Rangers as Tony Lewis (27 points, 8 rebounds) and Daequon Montreal (25 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) flew the flag for Dandenong. Also impressive was Brent Hobba (17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 blocks). Taken to overtime by the resolute Capitals, Dandenong women had to grind out their 74-72 victory. Full-court efforts from Lauren Scherf (16 points, 9 rebounds), who recently received Basketball Victoria’s

Young Female Player of the Year award, lived up to her rising-star billing as she almost reeled in a doubledouble. Refreshed from a European holiday, Amelia Todhunter (14 points) picked up where she left off seamlessly at point, while Faith Probst (11 points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks, 5 steals) was scintillating at both ends of the court as she posted relatively unheard numbers in SEABL of previous seasons. The Rangers return home this weekend for a Saturday night double-header against Frankston from 5.30pm.

Steelers dealt with By JARROD POTTER TOO strong down the stretch, Keysborough has bounced back into the top four in Big V Division 2 with a 19-point win (89-70) over Western Port. Drip-by-drip the Cougars extended their lead at Somerville Basketball Stadium passing the ball around to keep the Steelers on their toes. It was shot-for-shot early as the Cougars claimed a four-point lead at the first break, but the constant pressure started to peel back the Steelers and despite the best efforts of Steelers’ offensive machine Manny Hendrix (38 points), the Cougars pushed away after half-time. The whopping disparity in the rebound count highlights the Cougars’ strength and the place for improvement for the Steelers, as Nathan Vogt’s charges reeled in 49 as opposed to Western Port’s 29. Key contributions came from Jackson Houpt (19 points, 15 rebounds) leading the way at both ends of the court while Kevin Benn (22 points, 8 rebounds) and Eric Miraflores (15 points) secured the victory. Chris Jones (9 points, 9 rebounds) also stepped up in the crunch moments to nearly take back-to-back double doubles. Keysborough’s next challenge is against newcomers Oakleigh on Saturday night away. Keysborough women had a bye and will face the Chelsea Gulls on Sunday at home.

Dog day afternoon By JARROD POTTER KNOX and Noble Park could not be split at the final siren as an explosive draw played out at Knox Gardens Reserve. It was a match that had it all. Such was the tense atmosphere it threatened to ignite the crowd into frenzy at one stage as the Falcons and Bulls were deeply locked in battle. Noble Park ceded a three-goal deficit to Knox at the major change and the Bulls trudged off Knox Gardens Reserve knowing just how flat they had been. But slowly the Bulls regained composure in the second half. Craig Anderson and Stewart Kemperman continued to fly the flag in their usual manner - streaming through the midfield to set up their forward line team mates and keep the match alive. Wayward kicking started to creep into the Bulls’ game as behinds that should have been goals started to pile up. The fourth-quarter set the powder keg off. When a Noble Park player was flung outside the field, the sides went at it as jumpers were ripped, people punched and general mayhem ensured. Once cooler heads took control of the situation, the Bulls started their revival once again. A stretching Piva Wright markand-goal effort brought the deficit back to a point before Knox kicked away mid-way through the final term and that seemed to be enough, as Ben Abraham kicked the Falcons’ eighth goal. Noble Park didn’t lie down heading towards the final siren though

The scoreboard said it all as the strange feeling of a deadlock decended on Knox Gardens Reserve as Picture: JARROD POTTER the siren sounded on a draw. 119736 - the Cody connection - brothers Luke and Trent - combined to hit up Kemperman for his second goal and reduce the gap to a solitary point. In the dying seconds, the ball flew towards the wing, and a flying Dan Keely emulated his ruck team mates with an amazing tap-toadvantage for Trent Cody to swoop upon. The young midfielder ran to the 50-metre arc and slotted a point to the right side of the goalpost as the siren went on the ensuing kickin to leave the match deadlocked. Kemperman’s two goals were only exceeded by his intent at the ball and he along with brother

Stingrays into muddy waters

Bobby Kemperman, Anderson, Piva Wright and a bloodied and bandaged Brett Dore were easily the best Bulls afield. Noble Park coach Jon Knight said the prevailing feeling in the rooms post-match was disappointment as the Bulls failed to seize chances and lacked the discipline needed. “It was a really scrappy day,” Knight said. “When it went forward there were times that we didn’t capitalise and there were times that we were totally undisciplined and it cost us.” Five 25-metre penalties, a couple

By JARROD POTTER DISPATCHING the interstaters, Dandenong Stingrays eased away from the NSW/ ACT Rams with a 29-point wet weather win. AS the rain started to come down in sheets around Shepley Oval it was the hard run and tenacious tackling of Dandenong that took effect. NSW/ACT stuck firm in the contest through the first half as Jack Hiscox and Isaac Heeney gave selectors someone to keep an eye on from north of the border, but the harder bodies of the Stingrays managed to take the game by the scruff after half-time. A captain’s effort from Jack Lonie saw him lead the side not only on the park but also in the best afield list as was high-marking Nick Riewoldt-clone Tom Lamb and Bailey Dale, who charged into any pack and emerged with the

ball more often than not. Four goals to one in the atrocious conditions was a sufficient third quarter to push aside the Rams before the sides ran out the clash in the slop for a 12.8 (80) to 7.9 (51) win to the Stingrays. Sharing the goals around for the Stingrays, Rourke Fischer (2) bagged a couple from the midfield while Jayden Tomkins (2) and Keegan Downie (2) gave Dandenong something to aim at in the soggy conditions. The sixth-placed Stingrays now clash with the Eastern Ranges on Saturday 10 May in a rematch of the 2013 TAC Cup grand final. It will be Dandenong’s last weekend without the interruptions of the National Under-18 Championships, with Vic Country set to take a fair few Stingrays for its clash on Sunday 18 May against Vic Metro at Visy Park.

of which resulted in goals, summed up the dog day for Noble Park and Knight kept his charges in the postmatch huddle well after the siren to bring home that point. “It’s really, really disappointing and I know the boys are feeling this way as well… they need to switch on and be more team orientated instead of focusing on themselves.” The eighth-placed Bulls will face Scoresby on Saturday at home where the club will be raising money for the Lukemia Foundation in support of Zayne Anderson. Players will be auctioning a head - or two of hair in support.

DISTRICTS could not curtail the Bulldogs in Division 2 Seniors, as Highett claimed a 24-point win on Saturday. The Demon-offensive was powerpacked in the first term as six Springvale goals flew through. Much of the same continued in the second term with Matt Thompson (3), Gavin Vassallo (2), Clinton Brooks (2) and Chris McTaggert (2) extended a 25-point margin at half-time. The coroner knows where to find remnants of the Demons’ lead, disintegrating as the Bulldogs savagely kicked 10 goals in the third term to take back the lead emphatically at the final change and hold on through the last term for the 18.13 (121) to 14.13 (97) win. Thompson, Craig Keenan and Brodie Snow were best afield for the seventh placed Demons which face Hampton at home this weekend.

Division 3 CLOSE matches reigned supreme in Division 3 as Sandown, Lyndale and Dandenong claimed close victories. Sandown had to hold off a fast-finishing Endeavour Hills to retain a one-point win at Barry Simon Reserve. Clint Sheedy booted six in the torrid conditions while Matt Menzies, Ben Adams and Lee Robinson were best afield for the Cobras. Dandenong also had to hold off a rapid sprint to the final siren by Hallam, with the Hawks kicking three final-term goals to bring the margin to four. Kaine Bundy and Warren Kairns picked up two goals in the wet weather for the Redlegs while Matt Van Schajik, Brodie O’Loughlin and Shannon Brown were in the best. A three-point win for Lyndale capped off the closest Saturday yet in SFL Division 3, as Ashwood fell away after a strong start. The Pumas fought back into

the clash with goals to Mark Greene (2) while Tommy Clappers, Brett Colbert and Matt Stuart were best afield.

CASEY CARDINIA FOOTBALL LEAGUE Seniors - round 4 THE horror story that is a trip to Fox Road became a nightmare for Keysborough on Saturday, the Burra monstered to the tune of 129 points by a ruthless Narre Warren. It became clear very early in the contest that the Burra would become the Magpies’ 40th awesome display from the hosts, who skip a game clear at the top of the table. Despite the efforts of Richard Minney, Danny Morland and Geoff Humphreys through the midfield, the Burra simply had not enough fingers to plug holes. When they went forward, the Burra were confronted by a miserly but attacking Magpies defence, while down back, the visitors had no answer to the size and strength of Kerem Baskaya. The burly full-forward kicked eight goals, while dangerous left-footers in Justin Marriott and Jackson Parker chipped in with four and three goals respectively. Positives were difficult to find for the Burra, but the return of veteran Corey Wilkinson and the injection of Gerard Smith are good signs for the remainder of the season. Humphreys, with three goals, and Davor Rajic with two, were the main contributors for the Burra, while Bryce Sutton toiled manfully in the ruck. Things don’t get any easier for Keysborough, who this week host Berwick - the Wickers moving into second place on the ladder after a gutsy 26-point win over perennial powerhouse Cranbourne. In other games on the weekend, Beaconsfield defeated ROC, Pakenham proved too strong for a tiring Tooradin, while Doveton continued its rollercoaster start to the season with a comfortable victory over Hampton Park.
