Pylon the pressure By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS SHOCKED residents are fighting against highvoltage overhead powerlines being installed without warning outside their homes on Cheltenham Road, Keysborough. Eugene Domanski says his family discovered the plans for 66,000-volt lines when he found workers preparing to install power poles on a nature strip 13 metres from his house. Powerlines have traditionally been buried along a 300-metre section of Cheltenham Road’s northern side, east of Corrigan Road – which includes out the front of Mr Domanski’s house. Mr Domanski says he, like his neighbours, paid a premium – $5000 – for the underground electricity supply when he bought his house 33 years ago. His plans to build an upstairs balcony, me-

tres from the proposed 66,000-volt wires, are on hold. “What’s the point of building it now? It’s not healthy for us – we’re living in the 21st century and we’re getting a 19th century solution.” Neighbouring dentist Francis D’Monte and neighbour Brian Fitzgerald confirmed they had not been notified of the works. The trio are among 30 petitioners urging United Energy to halt its plans to install the overhead powerlines, as part of a project to upgrade power poles along the road between Springvale Road to just west of EastLink. The wires will be connected to a new substation at the supplier’s depot at188 Cheltenham Road; works are expected to finish in early October.

Lyndhurst MP Martin Pakula last week asked the state’s Energy and Water Ombudsman to “investigate as a matter of urgency”. “It’s just not good enough that residents wake up one morning to find power poles being installed outside their homes with no prior warning or consultation,” he told the Journal. He said he had demanded United Energy management “explain their actions”. United Energy spokesman Stuart Allott said the upgrade was “good news for the area”, and was necessary to accommodate Keysborough’s high residential and commercial growth. “The option of undergrounding the powerlines was considered in the planning phase, however it was determined

the method was impracticable due to physical space constraints, proximity of other utility assets (including gas and water), and excessive cost. “The safety of our people and our customers is of the highest priority, and this project has been designed to meet all safety requirements set out in the Victorian Electricity Supply Industry Standards.” Mr Allott said the company consulted broadly with VicRoads, Greater Dandenong Council and local MPs, and had prepared customer letters and fridge magnets for a mailout in early April. “Unfortunately it appears a small number of customers may not have received this correspondence, and for that we sincerely apologise.” A spokesman for Energy and Water Ombudsman Victoria said the ombudsman did not publicly comment on individual cases.

Drugs are rampant By CASEY NEILL GREATER Dandenong has experienced the largest increase in drug offences in the state, latest Victoria Police figures show. There were 1152 drug offences recorded in the Police Service Area (PSA) between April last year and March this year, up 26 per cent from the previous 12 months. Inspector Bruce Kitchen said crystal methamphetamine or ‘ice’ was the driving factor behind the increase. “Ice is obviously an issue within not just Dandenong but all over. It obviously is influencing our crime rate,” he said. “We have also apprehended a number of people that are actually

dealing in cannabis crop type situations. “Ice is a drug that is leading to some of our violence on the streets.” Figures showed a 5 per cent increase in total crime in Greater Dandenong. “However we have seen a significant decrease (15.5 per cent) in residential burglary which is a fantastic result,” Insp Kitchen said. “This has been achievable by our members utilising intelligencebased data and targeting recidivist offenders.” He said increases in assault excluding family violence (8.8 per cent) and theft from motor vehicles (10 per cent) were major concerns. “We will continue to work with other agencies and service providers

to reduce non-family violence assaults,” he said. “We will work with residential care facilities and accommodation houses to make the community safer. “An analysis of our statistics has shown that with the majority of these assaults, both the offender and victim are known to each other.” Insp Kitchen said the Greater Dandenong Family Violence Unit continued to have a significant impact on repeat offenders and a vast improvement on referrals and reporting. “Greater Dandenong is one of few PSAs that have seen a reduction in family violence reports over a 12-month period,” he said. He said PSOs now manned all

Greater Dandenong railway stations and a reduction in offences at the stations had continued with their presence. Police recruits will continue to visit Dandenong Plaza through Operation OPTIC, which will expand to Parkmore Shopping Centre in Keysborough. “I encourage all members of the Greater Dandenong community, whether you live or work here, to please be vigilant and if you see a suspicious person, suspicious vehicle or groups of youths causing trouble, contact police,” Insp Kitchen said. “You are our eyes and ears and we need your help to make the City of Greater Dandenong a safer place.”

Flood of church support for Balkans deluge By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Father Chedomir Videkanic. 121246 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

COUNCILLOR Maria Sampey hasn’t attended a council meeting since October. In early November she took stress leave and lodged a WorkCover claim against the City of Greater Dandenong for the mental toll taken by a secret council investigation into her and a colleague. Last Monday night councillors approved her request for a further leave of absence from council meetings until mid-July. “This isn’t a bit of a break,” Cr Sampey told the Journal in November. “This is stress. It’s been going on and on and on. There doesn’t seem to be any let-up. “The doctor said I was so stressed, put in a WorkCover claim.” In May last year, council CEO John Bennie and former mayor Angela Long launched a confidential investigation into Crs Sampey and Peter Brown for allegedly causing council staff to feel hurt and distressed during debate over a botched footpath in Noble Park. The two accused councillors have fought for access to the investigation report, handed to the council last July. “I’m hoping WorkCover will investigate John Bennie and Angela Long - they haven’t looked after my wellbeing,” Cr Sampey said. Corporate services director Mick Jaensch said Cr Sampey would continue to receive her councillor allowance. “There is no limit on when she must return to her role,” he said. “Council cannot unreasonably refuse to grant leave of absence requests. “While Cr Sampey remains a councillor there is no scope for an alternate person to take this role.” The Journal last week asked Cr Sampey when and if she was likely to return, but she declined to provide any comments for publication.

Girl disturbs burglar

The Australian Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina Associations recently raised $28,000 at a fundraiser in Springvale as part of an ongoing drive for donations. Co-ordinator Sead Omerovic, of Noble Park, said half of Bosnia and Herzegovina had been submerged, cutting off roads, schools, and hospitals. “It brings back bad memories of being displaced by the war (in the Balkans in the 1990s), and fighting for your life.

AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD girl woke to find a burglar in the lounge room of her Noble Park home. Police said a man entered the Vallota Crescent property about 5am on Friday 23 May as five people slept inside. He ransacked the premises and removed electrical items, including some in rooms where children were sleeping. When the girl disturbed him, the burglar stole car keys and a Ford sedan and fled. Police arrested a 21-year-old Springvale South man that evening as he abandoned the car and tried to run from officers on Heatherton Road, Dandenong North. They recovered stolen goods in the car and charged the man with aggravated burglary. He will appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 4 June.

A KEYSBOROUGH church’s parishioners have pitched in more than $230,000 to help victims of devastating floods in the Balkans. Father Chedomir Videkanic, of Serbian Orthodox Church, said hundreds of people had pledged the extraordinary sum at an “emotional” meeting at the church last Sunday week in response to a continuing humanitarian disaster in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. The special meeting was organised by a hasty call around of the church’s members; there was no time to send out letters, Fr Videkanic said. “In our church, the people were emotional and responded immediately. We have the opportunity to see the events on TV – 24 hours a day. “Most of us were crying. Some of us know people who are affected.” It is estimated more than 150,000 people were evacuated after a record three-day burst of rain broke the banks of the Sava River last month. Small towns were submerged in water, homes threatened by landslides and many people had lost “everything”, Mr Videkanic said of the unprecented event. Reportedly at least 50 have died, with many still missing. About 1.6 million are directly affected – many without fresh water and electricity. “It will take five to 10 years and millions of dollars to rebuild,” Fr Videkanic said. “Those countries are small, with limited resources, and they need our help.” He hoped the Australian Government would contribute to the international aid effort.

Carol, a blast from the past in the picture I WAS delighted to hear from former Dandenong Girls School student Carol Pratt last week after an old school friend recognised her in a photograph the Journal published on 5 May. It’s remarkable she identified a young Carol more than 56 years after the image was captured! It was a still from a rare 16mm film shot in Dandenong in 1957, shortly after the school opened, which Dandenong High School and the school’s ex-students association recently made available on DVD. Carol was among the school’s founding students after completing her primary schooling at Dandenong West. She recalled the weekly checks to ensure students’ nails were clipped short, as depicted in the image, that their skirts touched the ground when they kneeled, that their hair was tied

MY VOICE A MOMENT WITH

MARG STORK back and not touching their collars, and that they had grey knickers on. Such strict uniform requirements must be a strange concept for most of today’s students, but it was very much expected during my school days. Carol also told me she used to avoid sport because the uniforms were so uncomfortable. It’s hard to imagine how the girls played hockey and other games wearing long skirts with divided shorts underneath, a shirt and a double-breasted tunic. “It was horrible. I used to leave

my uniform at home. I did maths instead, and I liked maths,” Carol said. She spoke very highly of principal Miss Bond, who Carol said named all the school houses after the 1956 Olympic stars - Cuthbert, Landy, Strickland and Marshall. Miss Bond even arranged for track athletes Betty Cuthbert, John Landy and Shirley Strickland and swimmer John Marshall’s wife to visit the school. John was killed in a car accident early in 1957. Carol recalled taking lots of craft subjects, and classes in home management. “I learnt how to wash the dishes and iron clothes,” she said. “It was a good school, I enjoyed it.”

Science in a nutshell KEYSBOROUGH students Mehm-

et Akif Canbolat and Mustafa Tanriverdi very successfully represented their community and their country at the 2nd International Science Project Olympiad (ISPRO) in Jakarta, Indonesia. Deputy Minister of Education and Culture Professor Wiendu Nuryanti presented the boys with bronze medals for their chemistry project, Waste to Health. It was an intriguing project about using the groundnut shell as a low cost absorbent for heavy metal. These students can return home with pride, having competed against 135 students from 24 countries in the event, organised by the Indonesia Department of Education and Culture and Pacific Countries Social and Economic Solidarity Association (PASIAD).

We ascertained that Mr Singleton is by no means new to public life, having filled the position of a Tasmanian councillor in the third largest town and municipality in the island state, namely Zeehan, for several years, and was also for a like period a member of the Board of Management of the Zeehan and Dundas Hospital, Fire

Dandenong Council last week agreed to this, the two locations to be selected by the City Engineer (Mr Wright). The Shepley Oval Improvement Trust suggested this type of fixed type of seating, similar to that used at the Collingwood football ground. A quote for the supply and fixing of

three-rail pipe seating for 100-feet length was £86. Council also adopted the trust’s suggestion for the erection for a separate umpires’ room adjacent to the kiosk.

The centre has been totally funded by the Friends of the Dandenong Entertainment Centre after Councillor Powell approached centre proprietor Mr Arnold Luby impressing on the need for such a facility in the

district, and The Friends took up the challenge and raised the necessary $120,000. Hospital president Mr Peter Gurr said at the opening of the Barry Powell Renal Centre: “In the early 1990s, local people needing dialysis treatment had to travel to Caulfield six times a week for treatment and before going on home dialysis, Barry understood only too well the problems such travelling could cause.”

Black days for sheep By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS EMBATTLED Springvale sheep owner Vu Ho has new cause to worry for his pet Baa’s worsening health. Last Monday, Mr Ho discovered a tumour had re-emerged on Baa’s right shoulder – in the same place as a cancer was removed several months ago. “She is still going. But in the past few days, we discovered a new lump and she has been a bit weaker. “She can walk around but it’s difficult for her to rise from a lying position.” Mr Ho was unsure if 17-year-old Baa could endure another operation; she also had part of her right ear cut off to remove a skin cancer late last year. “She’s too old for all of these operations. I’ll see the vet and see what he says. “It’s very worrying.” Mr Ho last week rebuffed attempts by Greater Dandenong Council to resolve a long-standing dispute over his desire to keep Baa in his backyard. Jody Bosman, the council’s city planning, design and amenity director, wrote to Mr Ho in February, March and May, requesting a meeting to “find an agreed position between us on where or how Baa can be kept”. He stated he’d like to discuss whether there was still a need for Baa to live within “the residential area”. “I am confident that between us we can reach a position which we could all be comfortable with,” he wrote – while offering an interpreter service for the meeting at the council’s expense. Mr Bosman also wanted to discuss the council’s legal costs, awarded against Mr Ho for his unsuccessful actions in the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal. Last year, the High Court of Australia rejected Mr Ho’s application for

In a formal reply to the council last week, Mr Ho demanded proof that the council prosecuted him due to complaints from “neighbours and other residents about the sheep’s welfare”. Mr Ho stated he had “the consent of all the residents in my neighbourhood” – through a petition and in an affidavit. “We all know that no-one can build a castle on sand. In the same sense, a

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS dialogue will fail if there is no trust between the parties,” he wrote. In reference to Mr Bosman, Mr Ho wrote: “It is a pleasure to work with a council officer of great patience like you.” Last week, the council declined to quantify its legal costs for the matter. “Council has no comment to make on the matter, further to the decision of the High Court of Australia,” Mr Bosman said.

SPRINGVALE Police Station will be the first in the state to trial a language kiosk. Senior Sergeant Alan Dew said the touch screen would grace the station’s foyer in coming months for a three to six month pilot. “Springvale has been selected because we have one of the highest usages of telephone interpreters in the state,” he said. “The aim of them is to improve customer service to people from common non-English speaking backgrounds within Greater Dandenong.” Sen Sgt Dew said analysis showed most telephone calls to interpreters were for very short periods. The screen will offer different languages and common queries, and users can follow the prompts for information about property, appointments, neighbourhood disputes and more. “That will enable us to handle their inquiry much quicker without resorting to telephone interpreters,” Sen Sgt Dew said. “We’ve got our ideas about what sort of queries we should address, but we’re interested to hear from anyone in the community.” Email springvale.uni@ police.vic.gov.au to contribute.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Save our library DANDENONG Community Association (DCA) was formed earlier this year by residents of Dandenong passionate about their suburb as a place for families in which to live. It was driven by a high level of community interest in planning issues, retail, business, community facilities and services and public open space in Dandenong. We believe the community facilities in Dandenong such as the neighbourhood house, community aid and advisory bureau and maternal and child health services are in buildings that are either too small or in poor condition. We now have the opportunity to keep our old Dandenong Library and convert it for community use until a planned Dandenong Community Hub is built - which is more than 10 years away. In the next 10 years the population will continue to grow and we can’t wait for something that is going to be built in 10 years’ time - if at all. Residents in Dandenong tell us they want to know what will happen to the old Dandenong Library - a building that is in good condition, is easily accessible by car or bus and has ample parking. We are worried that it will be demolished in a short-term decision that will cost the people who call Dandenong their home a great opportunity. It’s not much to ask - in recent years Noble Park and Springvale have had new maternal and child health facilities built. So far 69 residents have filled out an online petition that has been tabled at three successive council meetings. A paper petition, with more than 70 signatories so far, will be tabled at council soon. The community wants to keep Dandenong Library. To support the online petition, go to www. change.org/en-AU/petitions/1465517 Silvia Mastrogiovanni, Dandenong Community Association.

This can be best accomplished by consultation irrespective of who voted for who, or who is socially or economically affluent or who is not. The above is in this case a nice theory, but in the hands of Mr Abbott, Mr Hockey and their many henchmen and women, this is being completely subverted. Pensioners, students, the disabled, the unemployed, as individuals. Health, education, welfare sectors are to be cut, slashed or cancelled altogether, irrespective of the group, sector or indi-

vidual cost involved. They don’t count according to the above-mentioned people (Mr Abbott, Mr Hockey etc). These people are being ‘insulted’ and ‘Aussaulted’. But as with human diets, too much ‘salt’ in a political diet can be fatal. In this case, electorally fatal. In plain Australian ‘wake up to yourselves, gentlemen’ - your conduct is sub-standard and unacceptable. Geoff Cain, Endeavour Hills.

Sub-standard behaviour AS A lot of other people are doing, I’m watching the antics of the Abbott Government with its first budget. It occurs to me it is a matter of ‘sault’ or ‘sult’, not the edible in cooking variety. Any Australian government is constitutionally and legally obliged to govern for all Australians.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council has left open plans for Keysborough Golf Club to develop a “golf and community multi-sport precinct” in the green wedge. In the council’s draft green wedge management plan, it was stated that the council had “preliminary discussions” about the concept and a potential site directly opposite the golf course on Hutton Road. “Although the proposal is in its infancy and may require rezoning of part of the golf club land, it should be seen as an opportunity for consideration,” the report stated. The club launched an unsuccessful bid to the state Urban Growth Boundary Anomalies Advisory Committee in 2011 to rezone six per cent - or 4.5 hectares - of its golf course for housing development. At the time the club’s general manager Dee Healey said the move would bolster the club’s “long-term viability”. He said last week the club was “constantly assessing future opportunities”. “The earlier possible part-subdivision and the draft (green wedge management plan) are just two of many factors.” In its plan, the council proposes to rezone the golf course to Green Wedge A Zone - which prohibits intensive animal husbandry, abattoirs and waste transfer stations, to better protect the amenity of nearby residential areas. It proposed no change to minimum lot sizes in what it named as the Hutton Road North precinct - which range from four up to 12 hectares. Barry Ross, of Defenders of the South East Green Wedge group, was “comfortable” with smaller subdivisions in the golf course area under the draft plan. “I really like the look of the report,” he said though he was “apprehensive” about the push by landholders for more housing in the flood-prone zone. “We just like it being kept as the green wedge and it has a wonderful potential. “To keep chipping away at it will make it too small to be viable. It’s been a death by a thousand cuts over the years.”

Help for refugees

AN Afghan community leader has called for signage to crown the $1.1 million Afghan Bazaar precinct in Dandenong. Khaliq Fazal, president of the Afghan Australian Association of Victoria, said the “significant” precinct needed signs to identify it to passers-by. “If you’re going to spend so much money on it, you should install signs at each end to define the precinct.” Greater Dandenong Council’s business group manager Paul Kearsley said extensive consulation had been done on the precinct’s “unique design and highly visual, culturallythemed elements”. He said $900,000 had been allocated in the council’s draft 2014-’15 budget for stage two works to “strengthen” the theme.

other councils at a Municipal Association of Victoria meeting in July. “Even though asylum seekers don’t affect every council, every council can relate to the draining of resources.” David Spitteler, who runs the Asylum Seekers Centre in Dandenong, said the region’s charities were buckling under the “disproportionate” burden.

His charity provides food and clothes to about 320 families a week, without state and federal funding. Mr Spitteler reluctantly limits each family to six months’ assistance, to control demand. “People spend 18 months in the community with nothing and no long-term solution. They get angry, down and depressed, or they seek an

illegal pathway.” The council last Monday committed itself to developing a fouryear action plan for “community detention refugees”. The council will set up a working group of agency representatives, council officers and councillors to refine the plan.

Afghans negotiating the maze of health By CASEY NEILL VOLUNTEERS are helping Afghan refugees to unravel Australia’s complicated health system. The South Eastern Melbourne Medicare Local (SEMML) Afghan Community Team received an Outstanding Achievement Award at the Minister for Health Volunteer Awards on 14 May. “We were absolutely delighted with the award, and the team itself is just so energetic and passionate and really committed to the work they’re doing,” SEMML CEO Anne Peek said. “Already we’re seeing really positive results in those in the community understanding just how to get access to care. “That’s exactly what we’re aiming at. “In Afghanistan, whatever health problem you have you go to the local hospital. That’s just your only port of call. “When they arrive here and they’re needing some sort of help, they go to the hospital.” About 6800 people of Afghan origin call Greater Dandenong and Casey home, and this figure is set to

SELLEN CEO Anne Peek, centre, with volunteers Nafas Ghezal Adam, Ghezal Zara, Weda Muhsina, Sayed Saidi, Khadim Hussain Picture: ROB CAREW Hazara and Hamdullah Sayed. 120914 grow by 1000 each year. Ms Peek said the Dandenongbased Afghan Community Team started last year and worked with Dandenong Hospital and Casey Hospital. The team also holds community sessions to deliver simple information about general health awareness and accessing health services. More than 300 people participat-

ed between December last year and March, including new arrival migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. The trained volunteers represent the major Afghan ethnic groups and link with existing Afghan community groups. Ms Peek said they engaged with and empowered community members to improve their health-seeking behaviours and health outcomes.

She said feedback from participants indicated they were thrilled at being able to access services like health assistance telephone lines and GP home visiting services. Feedback from one information session participant was that she received a fridge magnet with the number for an after-hours doctor. “But I didn’t really believe that a doctor would come to my house at night if I was sick,” she said. Three days later, the woman’s son was unwell at night. “I had no family member to assist me to get medical help and I can’t drive,” she said. “I remembered the information we were given. I called the number and after a few questions I was told that the doctor would come to my house in 30 minutes.” She was shocked when a doctor arrived, examined her son and provided medication. “I was very happy and have told all my friends that if they need a doctor at night, one can come to their house and see them.” SEMML is a not-for-profit, primary health care organisation that aims to improve the south eastern Melbourne community’s health.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong is recruiting Victorian councils to join them in a fight for more federal funding for support services for asylum seekers and refugees in the community. Councillor Roz Blades said many asylum seekers had limited income, poor English and no work rights, putting them at acute disadvantage. She said the flow-on crisis was putting immense strain on underresourced charities, which were providing food, clothes, provisions, funds, health advice and language classes. “It’s getting worse because the conditions are getting worse. Asylum seekers used to get some (government) help, now they get none. “For us, that’s just a matter of fact. We’ve got to put the case to the Federal Government.” Greater Dandenong has about 2000 asylum seekers - the most of any Victorian council. In a council report last Monday, it was noted that asylum seekers suffer from a lack of community services, affordable housing, financial independence, boredom and social isolation. Cr Blades was confident of winning the support of Victoria’s 77

Senior Sergeant Alan Dew encouraged clubs intending to run functions to check their liquor licences. “A lot of the games are on early in the morning and a lot of their licences have probably got specified hours,” he said. “I advise the clubs to contact liquor licencing or police to see if licences cover them, or what kind of licence they need to apply for.”

DANDENONG Thunder will plead not guilty to misconduct charges leveled against club associates after the alleged abuse of a young female referee at an under-13s boys soccer match. Team manager and exFootball Federation Victoria board director Aldrin De Zilva and coach Fitsy Ibraimi were scheduled to appear at an FFV disciplinary tribunal hearing on Wednesday. Mr De Zilva was charged with two counts of using offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour against

a match official after the game, Mr Ibraimi with being expelled from the pitch’s technical area during the game. The club was also charged with “failing to control” Mr De Zilva and Mr Ibraimi. The hearing, which was closed to the public, was postponed due to a clash with the club’s Dockerty Cup fixture on the same night. Mr De Zilva, a taxation lawyer at Deloittes, tendered his immediate resignation from the FFV board on 23 May – days after the charges were publicised.

They’ve gone off the block By CASEY NEILL DEBATE over “residential growth” at last week’s council meeting ended in a knockback for a Dandenong apartment block. The applicant proposed a three-storey building with basement car park and 14 twobedroom apartments in Wedge Street, which is zoned Residential Growth - Schedule 1. But a City of Greater Dandenong report found the proposal was “inconsistent with the surrounding area”, noting four objections from nearby residents. “The subject site is in an area which contains two-storey townhouses and double-

storey apartments,” the report read. It recommended approving a two-storey building and said the proposal was welldesigned, met community demand for different housing types and would deliver more affordable housing closer to jobs, transport and services. But Councillor Matthew Kirwan said cutting one storey from the building only culled two apartments and the project was an overdevelopment of the site. “This is not a large site. This is a predominantly single-storey street,” he said. He said the property was near the Residential Growth

Zone periphery, and approving apartments there was stopping development in the centre. Cr Peter Brown supported the two-storey proposal. “I think it’s a fine compromise,” he said. He said approving it would set parameters for a VCAT appeal and that he wouldn’t be surprised if the applicant appealed against a refusal. The recommendation to grant a permit only received support from Crs O’Reilly and Brown and was defeated. Cr Kirwan successfully moved an alternative motion to refuse the permit.

Jobs on the line By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS DON’T answer your phone in a job interview – better still, leave it outside. It’s simple advice but not so easy for the tech-addicted young job-seekers to follow, says training organisation Avocare’s chief executive Trish Keilty. “When we have people start with us, we say you can only use your phone at morning tea and lunch - it’s like detox,” she said. She says about 45-55 per cent of people who started work experience in Avocare’s warehouse and commercial kitchen went on to land a job. “We teach them to have the right attitude,” she says. Avocare hosted a meet-theemployer Q&A forum in Dandenong last week for about 100 young job hopefuls. Six employers gave sage tips such as not proliferating your Facebook page with drinkingsession photos and how to tailor your resume for each job. Many young job seekers who spoke to the Journal appreciated the advice, hoping it would give them an edge. They say the reality is jobs are few and the fight for them is frustratingly hard. The unemployment rate in Greater Dandenong was 12.8 per cent as of March last year – well more than double the 5.8 per cent national average at the time. Job-seeker Anthony Martin had been employed for four years before starting a Bachelor of Music.

Left: Anthony Martin at the unemployment forum hosted by Avocare. 121277 Right: Angela and Kelly at Avocare’s unemployment forum. 121277

Since then, he has applied for up to 200 jobs in IT, retail and administration over the past two years without success. For all his effort, he was invited to five job interviews. “It’s surprised me. It seems a lot of the time employers don’t want to employ me because of my age and my other qualifications. “They think you’ll just quickly move on from the job.” He has doubts whether the Federal Government will persist with its proposed six-month wait for Newstart payments for under-30s. If the change went through, he’d be “shit scared”, he says. Another forum attendee Angela works 30 hours a fortnight, but is hunting for more work to support her and her teenage son with Aspergers. More than 60 per cent of her $500 weekly income is devoured by rent. In recent times, she’s been stripped of about $350 in fort-

nightly benefits - losing her carer’s allowance and being switched off a single parent benefit onto Newstart. “Now the government is talking about taking away Family Tax Benefit B payments. It’s ridiculous. “It’s not that easy to get a job. It’s not our fault.” She says the job network agencies are “compliance” driven rather than actively helping her to find work. “They found me the job I’ve got about two years ago. Now they’re sending me to work-forthe-dole because I’m not working enough hours.” Kelly worked in stockbroking before having three kids. As a single mum, she says she finds it hard to find her way back into the workforce - something local and during school hours. “There are a lot of mums out there wanting to do the right thing. “They’re the ones suffering but other people don’t care.”

Today he’s the last remaining original financial member and on 14 May led the branch’s 50th birthday celebrations. “We had a lunch at the Noble Park RSL.There was a beautiful sponge cake,” he said. Mr Kennedy, who lives in Doveton, said 75 people turned up to the first meeting and there were about 45 members today. “I enjoy the camaraderie of the members,” he said. “We go on trips every now and then. “We go down to Point Cook to the museum. We go down to Phillip Island, down to the Vietnam Veterans’ museum. “We also go to HMAS Cerberus for the passing out parade down at Port Flinders.” Mr Kennedy served during the Korean War in 1951-’52 and 1953-’54. He was 19 when he left Australia’s shores for battle. “I was a naval seaman gunnery,” he said. “We were bombarding the east and west coast of North Korea. “It was minus 35 degrees Fahrenheit. “It was frosty alright, snow everywhere on the decks. “We had duffel coats. We didn’t have any protective clothing in those days. We just rugged up to keep warm.”

A KEYSBOROUGH man who was shot in the groin at close range last month is refusing to identify the culprit. Detective Sergeant Brett Kahan said the shooter intended to kill the 31-year-old in an apartment in Balaclava Road, St Kilda East, about 4pm on 14 April. “He was shot at close range by a male brandishing a shotgun,” he said. “Those types of incidents usually result in death. Our investigations tend to suggest that he was shot with the intention of being killed.”

Armed Crime Taskforce detectives last week released FACE images of the man they believe pulled the trigger, and CCTV showing him fleeing the scene with another man. Det Sgt Kahan said drugs were probably a motive and there was “a high possibility” that the victim was too frightened to name the shooter. “Our inquiries do suggest that the parties are known to each other,” he said. He said the victim suffered “very serious injuries” but had been released from hospital. – CASEY NEILL

COVER STORY

BOTANIC RIDGE BLOCKBUSTERS With block sizes continuing to shrink across Melbourne’s growth corridors, purchasers are flocking to the City of Casey’s premier residential community Botanic Ridge Estate to snap one of the only opportunities to secure a coveted big block in the southeast. The estate’s latest land release, stage 20, consists of 40 larger-than-average blocks ranging from 510sqm up to a whopping 1128sqm where purchasers can choose from a selection of reserve-fronting or parklandbacking land from just $210,000. Positioned at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula and within a five minute drive of shops, employment precincts and 12 established schools, Botanic Ridge Estate’s master plan and convenience to amenities has made the community popular with purchasers stepping into and up the property ladder. Demonstrating strong market growth, Botanic Ridge is already the best performing suburb in the City of Casey with RP data indicating a 15.4 per cent rise in the area’s median house pricing over the past 12 months. Boasting easy access to amenities and arterial roads, Botanic Ridge Estate offers some of the very last opportunities for families in Melbourne’s south-east to purchase a large, semi-rural block and build a home with enough space for a pool and big backyard. Compared to surrounding developments which offer average block sizes of only 458sqm, Botanic Ridge Estate offers the most generously-sized blocks in the area with an average of 600sqm and many exceeding 1000sqm. Designed with families in mind, the estate’s master plan places residents within easy walking distance to an established corner shop, primary school and network of wetlands, parklands and reserves. As the suburb continues to grow, in years to come residents at Botanic Ridge Estate are set to benefit from even more convenience thanks to the community’s

unique location which borders a proposed new town centre, shopping precinct, sporting facilities and specialty stores. For more information on Botanic Ridge Estate contact Heather in the sales office on 9785 9339 or head to www.botanicridge. com.au.

We don’t mind if you change our plans. It’s called layout flexibility. Arden Homes is a different sort of company creating very different homes. Firstly, our homes are architect designed and inspired to bring a new sense of space, light and sweeping architectural proportions. You sense the difference immediately. Innovative sun courts, picture windows and full length windows and views that connect inside and out are hallmarks of our design. We insist on luxury standard inclusions such as porcelain tiles, Smeg appliances, Franke sinks, quality carpet, and stone benchtops throughout. Secondly, we limit the number of houses we build, and are up-front about the pricing of display home extras. “Arden let us swap rooms around so our new home is exactly as we want it.” – Sharon and Michael, Croydon And best of all, we encourage layout ﬂexibility. It means you can work with us to switch and swap rooms and features to suit your lot size, orientation and family needs. Visit an Arden display to see and feel the difference. And ask us how we can tailor the design to make one of our stunning homes your unique dream home.

Goodbye to school By DANIELLE GALVIN OVER her 36 years at the Resurrection School in Keysborough, Kathy Young has worked with four principals and seen countless students graduate and grow up. At a celebratory send-off last week, Kathy joined her husband Brian and their children Emma, Matthew and Ben along with their families in what was an emotional goodbye and a reunion of sorts. Long-time friend and ally Mandy McLean spoke warmly of her office companion’s time at the school and wonderful ability to recount events and stories from years gone by. “Following on from her father’s footsteps as a bookkeeper, she used her skills to create the school’s first ledger book for fees,” Mandy said. “Kathy also spent many years volunteering on excursions and special event days. “When Tony Breen started as principal in 1987, Kathy was finally put on the payroll for the duties she had already been doing for many years. In addition, Kathy was also employed in the library as an assistant for several years.” During her time at the school, Kathy has witnessed changes to the education system as well as new computer programs and different ways of thinking. “Her passion for this place has been extraordinary and her detailed memory for events that have occurred over the years is amazing,” Mandy said. “If we wanted to recall an event and Kathy couldn’t remember it - it probably wasn’t worth remembering. “She is a great storyteller and fondly retells stories of different staff members and the antics of what they used get up to.” Speaking to former staff and students at the morning tea, Kathy had thankyous to do before she officially retired. “I have been at Resurrection School formerly known as KPR for more than half my life and as the song goes I have had the time of my life,” she said. “Thankyou for the wonderful presents I have received but you have given me one of the most precious gifts of all and that is the gift of friendship and for that I thank you and will miss you all.” Mia performs a Japanese fan dance. 119792 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS

New look at Oz Day THE City of Greater Dandenong is revamping its Australia Day awards to recognise and develop civic pride. Annual awards will now go to the Citizen, Young Leader, Volunteer, Sportsperson and Corporate Citizen of the Year, alongside leadership and multicultural awards. Occasional awards will include Community and Sports Hall of Fame honours. From next January, recipients will be formally invited to events throughout the year to share their experiences and inspire others. A new interactive digital display will enable the public to read about previous recipients’ achievements, the council will publish biographies and interviews with winners and there’ll be an honour board that’s updated each year. Councillor Matthew Kirwan requested the review that recommended the changes, which councillors unanimously endorsed last Monday night. What do you think about the changes to the awards?

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Millions to market By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG Market expects about five million shoppers in the next 12 months, as it approaches its 150th birthday in 2016. Councillors approved the market’s annual plan and budget at last week’s City of Greater Dandenong meeting. Dandenong Market general manager Jennifer Hibbs said the venue was focused on growing community engagement and delivering a higher service standard. Over the next 12 months, the market will nurture Sunday trading, reinvigorate Market Square, plan an alfresco dining space, rebrand, improve its trader mix and decrease rental arrears. The budget indicated rental income was expected to increase from $4.5 million to almost $5 million next financial

year, but Ms Hibbs declined to comment on where the extra cash would come from. She also failed to answer questions about an increase in wages and salaries from about $500,000 to $725,000, and a jump in cleaning costs from just over $780,000 to just over $1 million. The market started Sunday trading in October to capture new audiences. “It is expected that it will take another 12 to 18 months for Sundays to become fully established as a market trading day,” the annual report said. “Underpinning Sundays will be a series of cultural festivals, family entertainment and other events and activities.” Transforming the Market Square, the market’s main eating area and a meeting place for shoppers, is a key project this fi-

nancial year and will cost about $250,000. “However, the food offer is limited and the area lacks soul,” the report said. “Traditionally food courts are used in retail centres to extend length of stay and consequently increase customer spend.” An alfresco dining area and family zone are on the cards for the southern car park, with planning to happen over the next 12 months and construction to start in 2015-’16. “The idea is to provide a collection of cafes serviced by a comfortable and inviting outdoor dining environment where customers can sit and enjoy food and beverages,” the report said. “This will be complemented by a children’s outdoor play area and parents’ facilities as well as other complementary retail outlets.

“It is also an ideal location for potential future night markets and evening activity.” In 2014-’15 the market will pilot evening trading opportunities starting with extended trading hours for the World Fare, which in March attracted 21,000 people. A $70,000 market rebrand will roll out in stages over the next two years, including a new logo and way-finding signage. A dedicated lease manager employed in the first half of this year is working to improve the trader mix, filling gaps and weeding out sub-standard traders. The market has reduced rental arrears by 44 per cent since 30 June last year and will continue to work on this area.

Minister says plaza set for jobs DANDENONG Plaza is in line for a jobs boost, according to Planning Minister Matthew Guy. Last Thursday it was among major centres to have floorspace limits removed as part of major planning reforms to commercial zones. “A cap on commercial floorspace is ultimately a cap on jobs,” Mr Guy said. “We want more jobs to be located in the suburban areas of Melbourne, closer to more people. “This is a key element of Plan Melbourne and 20-minute neighbourhoods.” A spokeswoman for Dandenong Plaza said exciting changes were occurring at the centre, with development underway to introduce four mini-major retailers. “The inclusion of JB HiFi, Aldi, Trade Secret and Daiso is creating construction jobs and on completion will create new retail employment opportunities,” she said. “This work pre-dates the lifting of the retail floor space caps, however, the benefits will flow through to the community nonetheless.” Most floorspace limits were removed last July. Amendment GC6 will now remove the remaining limits from locations in 22 metropolitan local government areas. – CASEY NEILL

Australian health first for Pinelodge DANDENONG’S St John of God Pinelodge Clinic has achieved an Australian first. The drug, alcohol and mental health centre has received the National Mental Health Standards Certificate, plus the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) Equip National Accreditation Certificate. Pinelodge Clinic is the first private hospital in Australia to

achieve accreditation in both standards. “Not only are we proud that we achieved both of these standards, we are also proud that we did not receive any recommendations to improve our services,” Pinelodge clinical risk and quality manager Amanda Ginger said. “In fact, we achieved 11 ‘Met with Merits’ which indicates our service is of an extremely high quality.

“Seven of our Met with Merits were for engagement with consumers and carers. “We believe that Pinelodge Clinic has now set the bar for other mental health services.” From January, all hospitals in Australia were to comply with the new set of National Standards in health care. The Australian Health Ministers endorsed the standards in September 2011 to improve

the quality of care and safety through a nationally consistent approach. Pinelodge not only embraced the new national standards but set its sights higher and included the National Mental Health Standards. The 54-bed private hospital specialises in mental health and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and offers in-patient and day therapy programs.

LOGIS is in with a logical win DANDENONG LOGIS has received a national award. Victoria’s first ecoindustrial estate won the Best Business or Industrial Park award at the Property Council of Australia’s National Innovation and Excellence Awards. The awards celebrate innovation and leading practice within Australia’s property development and investment industries. PCA state award winners are nominated for the national awards. LOGIS was announced as the national winner in its category at a ceremony in Sydney on 17 May. Places Victoria major projects general manager Peter Armstrong said the win recognised LOGIS’s innovative environmental sustainability attributes. “Dandenong LOGIS features a range of sustainability initiatives including a Class A recycled water pipeline, a network of bike paths and green corridors connecting with the rehabilitated Dandenong Creek,” he said. “LOGIS also features energy efficient street lighting, native plantings to foster wildlife and over 20 hectares of planned open space offering passive and active recreational opportunities to workers and the local community. “In addition, the creation of a wetland in the southern part of LOGIS is attracting significant birdlife to the area.” Mr Armstrong said LOGIS had attracted $250 million of private sector investment from a $106 million public investment since the project started in 2006. “On completion, LOGIS is anticipated to have attracted a total of $480 million in private sector investment, with revenue and land sales totalling approximately $240 million,” he said. “LOGIS is expected to have created 5000 new jobs in Dandenong South and include more than 130 hectares of developed land when complete in 2015.”

Council debate touches on Dandenong’s ‘industrial feel’ A PLAN to soften Dandenong’s “industrial feel” sparked intense debate at last Monday’s City of Greater Dandenong council meeting. It centred on an application for a motor wrecking business at 46 Bennet Street, Dandenong. Councillors voted to defer a decision on the application to 23 June, five votes to four. A council report on the application recommended a threemetre wide landscaping strip along the site’s frontage, in ac-

cordance with local policy for industrial area design. “The landscape bed should be provided to enhance the area and soften the appearance of the car spaces and built form onsite,” the report said. It said the bed should include native trees, shrubs, plants and mulching. Councillor Matthew Kirwan supported the condition and said he’d received feedback that Dandenong had “too much of an industrial feel in some parts”. “A larger landscaped area

would soften the site,” he said. “This is about consistently applying a policy to achieve a better benefit for residents of Dandenong and visitors to the area.” But Cr Peter Brown said the condition was unfair and “unduly onerous” for the applicant. “I hardly think that three metres of landscaping on one site is going to improve the industrial feel of Bennet Street,” he said. “It is an industrial area. We can’t turn back the clock. Ben-

net Street is one of our old industrial streets.” Cr Brown said this was “one of the better-presented sites” and including a garden bed would require the applicant to rip up concrete. “No other business in Bennet Street is subject to the same conditions,” he said. “I’m very confident this will result in a VCAT appeal. “If council wants to engage our solicitors to defend a VCAT appeal then so be it.” The council’s planning, de-

sign and amenity director Jody Bosman said the idea was to consistently apply the policy to build up a desirable urban landscape over time. “This isn’t consistent. It’s unique,” Cr Brown said. Cr Sean O’Reilly moved a motion to defer the application. “The applicant has had limited time to respond after agenda release,” he said. “All they want is the opportunity to discuss the issues that they’ve raised.”

He said two and a half business days was insufficient time to examine the recommendation and prepare a submission to the council in response. “This is about natural justice,” he said.

Sweet treat poised to strike EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Fri 6th Ju e Barry Roy Fri 13th Ju e Joh Za it

COILED like an iridescent orange pretzel, the jalebi is Punjab Sweets’ most popular dish. Owner Nasir Chaudhry has been dishing up traditional north Indian and Pakistani sweets from his Mason Street eatery since 1989. Out the back is chef Mohammad, sitting by a giant, sizzling pan of traditionally-prepared jalebi batter. When cooked, the jalebi is coated with a honey syrup and diced almonds. It is traditionally enjoyed in the afternoon with a cup of tea, Mr Chaudhry says. Another favourite is the gulab, balls of milk-solids that have been fried in ghee. In keeping with the food’s authenticity, most ingredients are imported from the sub-continent and cooked by a trained chef. Mr Chaudhry’s food-journey was inspired by his uncle’s glimmering commercial-style kitchen in Pakistan.

Mr Chaudhry’s eatery has endured the ‘hard days’ of Little India’s recent reconstruction – when extensive roadworks drove away customers. Part of his strategy was diversifying the menu, adding

Mohammad fries up jalebis. 121269 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS hot lunch meals such as lamb vindaloo, butter chicken and samosas. From a point of ‘drowning’, business has started to recover with an influx of workers look-

ing for tasty lunches in central Dandenong. Punjab Sweets and Indian Takeway is at 2b Mason Street, Dandenong. It is open 11am9pm.

PUTTING his competitors in their place is state track-andfield is rising star QuadriellShafiek Faiva. The 13-year-old field champion from Springvale Little Athletics Club participated earlier this month in the Australian Little Athletics Championships at Lakeside Stadium. Representing Little Athletics Victoria (LAV) at the championships - after winning two silver medals in shot put and discus and earning personal bests at the State Championships - Faiva was pleased to represent Victoria and meet

some other talented athletes from across Australia. Faiva earned a top-10 finish in shot put, finished 12th in the country for discus and 13th for javelin. “It was fun especially facing off against the other states,” Faiva said. “It was also fun to meet the kids from the other states. “I didn’t place - I didn’t really perform as well as I wanted to - but it was just a good experience to go there.” His passion for athletics was cultivated by his older sister Shaquille - a back-to-back shot put state champion - and she

helped get Faiva started on his own athletic journey. Faiva wanted to thank everyone who has helped him improve his field athletics and for the achievements he has made. “I want to thank my coaches and also the JDS (LAV Junior Development Squad) coaches,” Faiva said. “Team mates for their support and also my friends and family for supporting me throughout the competition.” Faiva keeps his strength up in winter playing rugby for Southern Districts Rugby Union Club in Seaford as a number eight - one of the tougher positions to play.

A DECADE’S worth of experience has paid its first dividend for one of Haileybury’s best young hockey stars. Year-nine student Nathan Ephrams, 14, from Keysborough, has been plying his craft across the fields of southeast Victoria since he was fouryears-old and has worked his way through the ranks to earn a place in the School Sport Victoria under-16 hockey team. His hockey skills have long been apparent as he was selected for the first hockey team at Haileybury College when he was only in year seven - making him the youngest on the team by quite a gap. From there he’s worked his way into the state set-up and is thrilled to get a chance to score a few sneaky goals in his state schoolboy debut as part of the final 16-man School Sport Victoria under-16 squad. “Naturally I guess it was pretty good,” Ephrams said. “I’m not really sure other than that… I guess it was pretty good… want to score a few goals as a forward, keep improving and I guess I particu-

are quite a bit older than me so it’s challenging at times but I’m getting used to it so it’s getting easier… as I’m going along and getting older as well.” School Sport Victoria will compete at the School Sport Australia 16-Years-and-Under Hockey Championships in Adelaide from 9 to 16 August.

Division 2 - round 7 A HEATED rivalry might just have emerged from Springvale District’s 24-point win over Doveton Eagles. With two players off injured early in Saturday’s clash - captain Gavin Vassallo and Chris McTaggart - Springvale coach John McTaggart was forced to rearrange the Demons’ line-up entirely. Forward Rob Johnston was thrust into the midfield, with great success, and emerging utility Ben Laier held down the defensive end alongside Justin Doust. As the Districts’ run faded towards the end of the first half, whoever emerged in the third term would win the clash and to Springvale’s credit - the Demons struck six goals to Doveton Eagles’ three with Dylan Bramble and Brad Dight

featuring strongly en route to threegoals-apiece. Matt Thompson and Aidan Jolly generated a lot of run through the centre and Jolly in particular made sure Doveton Eagles were kept away from their goals with tackleafter-tackle in the defensive end. What little love between the two sides there was prior to the game was lost in the final term as Demons and Eagles alike went jumperpunching and pushing after Eagles’ Darryl Thomas was knocked down and had to be helped from the field. Hostilities resumed thereafter, thankfully on the scoreboard and not through more roughhousing, as goals to Jason Adams and Clinton Brooks sealed the game. The Eagles didn’t back down - as star forward Peter Dye drilled eight goals to keep his side afloat - but

Springvale Districts found a few more fumes in their rapidly emptying tank to run out 17.16 (118) to 14.9 (93) winners. “You could see there in the last quarter the game opened up as we were a bit fatigued, but I was pretty proud of our effort,” McTaggart said. “They had a really good win against a side (Hampton) we think will be thereabouts, but to win by five goals and we had 10 more scoring shots was a pretty brave effort.” McTaggart praised ruckman Danny Wilson and also highlighted the efforts from Leighton Ross, Thompson and Craig Keenan. After the Queen’s birthday longweekend, the fifth-placed Springvale Districts will face Caulfield.

Division 3 - round 8 FRIDAY night lights beamed down

on a successful Sandown outfit, knocking off Hallam by seven points. Jason Toan (3 goals) led the Cobras’ strike up forward and received great help from Jake Chapman, Nick Morrish and James Hewitt. A closely fought contest went Dandenong’s way to help the Redlegs off the bottom of SFL Division 3. Four last term goals showed there was a bit left in the Redlegs to outpace South Yarra by 20 points. Daniel Atkin thumped in four goals to show his charges how it’s done as Chris Arnold, Shannon Brown and Kevin Atkin put in starring performances. Lyndale was bested comfortably by Black Rock 10.13 (73) to 21.9 (135). Trevor Kumetaitis (3 goals) and Dale Tormey (2) were the main Puma scorers while Brett Tosh, Damien Wilsnach and Ben Cox were best on ground.

Glen Hawthorn could not help right the Burra in a 98-point defeat to Beaconsfield. 118202 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Great divide By DAVID NAGEL IT REALLY is hot at the top of Casey Cardinia football this year as Keysborough discovered with a 98-point loss to Beaconsfield at Holm Park Road on Saturday. The top five teams in Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Berwick, Pakenham and Beaconsfield have already opened up a substantial gap on the remainder of the field. The Burra won their opening game against Doveton, but have since felt the brunt of the top-six teams in the competition. They’ll now enjoy three competitive games in a row - against teams placed around them - with a visit from ROC, followed by away games against Hampton Park and the Doves. The Burra started well against last year’s beaten preliminary finalists, trailing by just eight points at quarter time, before a 7.5 to 0.2 second term put the question beyond doubt. The Burra responded with their best phase of the match - a four-goal third quarter, but their resistance petered out in the final term. The Burra had no answer to the high-flying antics of Eagles’ ruckman Scott Meyer, while former Noble Park best and fairest winner, Tyson Mitchem, was another to cause the visitors some headaches. Tim Werner kicked two for the Burra, while Michael Downie, Kale Armstrong and Daniel Papa were others to hold their heads high. In other games, Narre Warren produced an amazing 15.7 final term to run away from ROC, Berwick sealed the deal with an explosive ninegoal first quarter against Tooradin, while Pakenham and Cranbourne had comfortable victories over Hampton Park and Doveton respectively. The Burra’s big game against ROC starts at 2.10pm this Saturday at Rowley Allen Reserve.

SPORT FOOTBALL FEDERATION VICTORIA - National Premier Leagues

Red-hot crack of Thunder THIS will be the loss that hurts the most. Chance after chance failed to meet the back of the net as Dandenong Thunder was left to concede a 0-1 defeat to powerhouse South Melbourne in their Dockerty Cup round six clash. Thunder was on top all night outside of four-consecutive corners, which were repelled by the Dandenong defence and former South Melbourne goalkeeper Zaim Zeneli early in the first half. A homecoming for many South Melbourne players and coach Chris Taylor - all leaving the Thunder during last year’s transfer window - the crowd was happy to dish it up and go after their former favourites. Streaming down the wings all night, Matt Millar, Keiran Dover and especially Kris Kioussis put in strong showings, with Kioussis running out the entire 120 minutes in a best afield performance. Crosses flew and beat South Melbourne’s last man in defence Jason Saldaris, but the lack of a genuine striker hurt Dandenong on the final push towards the goal. Saldaris can pat himself on the back after a match under supreme pressure - with the South Melbourne keeper making 30-or-more saves. Marcus Schroen was thrust forward and kept making chances - but as with his team-mates, the shots didn’t land. The home team’s best chance came in the dying seconds of regulation as Kioussis’ spot kick sailed

only inches above the crossbar and had Saldaris beaten. Dandenong’s resolute defence achieved something no-one else could muster this season in the National Premier League competition keeping a clean sheet against South Melbourne throughout regulation time. Thunder captain Alan Mulcahy geared up the charges at the break before overtime, begging his guys to keep up their pace as South Melbourne was “running scared”. His words fell on deaf ears as Dandenong’s defence was breached early in the first overtime period by Kobbie Boahene with coach Taylor giving a little bit back to his former club in the celebrations of what would inevitably be the match-winning goal. Dandenong will be concerned with midfield spring heel Matt Millar - who limped off and iced up an ankle late in first overtime. “From the very outset I’m going to say I’m very, very proud of my side,” Thunder coach Dean Hennessey said. “We were the better side pretty well the majority of the night but they’re a good side and we understand that. “They’ve won 12 games out of 12, but you know what, we’re the first team to not let them score in 90 minutes and we should’ve really had the game finished by then and we should be in the next round. Hennessey’s young charges grew remarkably on Wednesday night according to the coach, labelling the performance the time when the boys

“Look at me when I’m talking to you.” Dandenong Thunder captain Alan Mulcahy gets his team pumped up for the overtime period. 121294 Picture JARROD POTTER became top-calibre men on-field. “Today we really came of age,” Hennessey said. “We’ve won seven out of 12 and for such a young side and to bring them here and for me, for the vast majority of the time to outplay them and I just couldn’t see us losing. “But once again, if there was one side that would punish you, and with one real chance, we could’ve been able to deal with it a bit better, but that’s football.” It was South Melbourne’s 13th win-in-a-row this season and the

former NPL team now heads into the final eight of the Dockerty Cup. Dandenong will face South Melbourne in their regular season NPL clash on Sunday afternoon at Lakeside Stadium. In other results, South Springvale will head into the final eight as the lowest ranked side after knocking off Fawkner Blues 1-0. South Springvale is the lowest ranked side currently through to the top eight and a win in the semi-final stage will earn South Springvale a place in the Football Federation Australia Cup.

Cougars’ explosive finish By JARROD POTTER Big V Division 2 - round 11 WITHSTANDING the Thunder’s onslaught, Keysborough kept itself in the higher ranks of Big V’s Division 2 competition with a 79-65 win over Keilor. Keilor threw everything at Keysborough early - snaring a 21-19 lead at quarter-time - but the Cougars did not lie down as they started to stir. Gaining a slender lead at three-quarter-time, Keysborough exploded in the last to drop 25 points and run out 14-point victors in front of their home crowd. Jackson Houpt (22 points) was the top Cougar while Eric Miraflores (19 points, 7 rebounds) was dishing off excep-

tionally throughout the clash. The third-placed Cougars clash with Maccabi on 14 June before hosting Pakenham at home the following day from 2pm. Keysborough’s women took another step in the right direction - sticking in the contest for a 48-65 defeat at the hands of Mornington. Heidi Van Vugt (15 points, 5 rebounds) led the Cougars’ scoresheet in only her fourth match for the club while Mel Magdich (8 points, 6 rebounds) and Tamara Booth (8 points, 5 rebounds) also impressed. Keysborough has a bye this weekend before facing Chelsea Gulls on Saturday night away then backing up against Melbourne University on Sunday at home from 12pm.

DANDENONG Showgrounds has been identified as one of the possible sites for a $10 million-plus ‘soccer hub’. Mayor Jim Memeti said a hub consisting of a suite of soccer pitches and facilities was needed to accommodate the municipality’s 18 clubs and ever-growing soccer community. He said the hub could host clinics, boosting the region’s potential as an ideal recruiting ground for A-League clubs Melbourne Victory and Melbourne Heart, and English Premier League clubs such as Manchester City. “Soccer is huge here, bigger than anywhere else in the state,” Cr Memeti said. “There would be thousands of players... there’s 500 at Dandenong Thunder alone. “One problem in Australia is we don’t have academies and facilities. “As soccer keeps on growing, we want to give an opportunity for young people to play for the Socceroos.” He said the $10-25 million council-initiated project, “still in its preliminary stages”, would require external funding. “The aim is to get it project-ready, so if a Manchester City were to come in it would be ready to go.” Councillors have been recently briefed on a consultants’ report on the scope, such as the mix of synthetic, indoor and outdoor pitches, and possible locations for the hub. Cr Memeti said the showgrounds and its spacious park surrounds, well-connected by road and public transport, was an option. Dandenong Thunder spokesman Sezar Jakupi said the hub would go “hand-inhand” with the Victorian Premier League club’s vision for bigger and better facilities. He said its two-pitch home at George Andrews Reserve was “clearly not adequate” for training its 20 teams. “What it means is at training, we have about six teams sharing a limited space on the ground. “A hub at the showgrounds or somewhere else would be fantastic.” Jakupi said.

The men drove in 113 to Brisbane’s 87 - Dandenong’s biggest score of the year - to emphatically stay near the top of SEABL’s Eastern conference. Rangers’ import pair Daequon Montreal (25 points) and Tony Lewis (25 points, 17 rebounds) excelled while Owen Odigie (11 points) and Andrew Harms (11 points) showed the guards weren’t slacking off either. The Rangers’ women started their Brisbane slaughter with a 84-59 victory. The return leg of DandenongBrisbane clash will be played on Saturday week at Rowland Cowan Stadium in Brisbane.
