■ Tributes flow as Journal’s treasured reporter dies...
Marg’s moment By NARELLE COULTER
Veteran reporter Marg Stork with her trusty typewriter on which she wrote stories over many decades. 122071

an early PC but Marg was having none of it. Repetitive strain injury meant she was able to revert to writing stories on her beloved manual typewriter. Marg was delighted when the Journal was purchased by the familyowned Star News Group in 2013 and her beloved paper was returned to tabloid size and the focus was once again on community news. In later years she hand wrote copy for her column, faithfully sending it by express post every Sunday so it would arrive on the editor’s desk in plenty of time for the next Journal.
“I am proud to be part of the Journal team, and proud to think the newspaper, which means so much to me, is still going strong. “I have watched the Journal grow from small beginnings... I hope it never loses its true role, that of a community newspaper.” Marg will be farewelled at a small, private funeral this week. She is survived by husband Don Davis. Turn to pages 6 and 7 for more on Marg’s remarkable career as well as tributes from the community.
behind the council building in Clow Street. “I did the banking, folded papers, proof read and worked until 2am at home doing Greg’s subscription and advertisement accounts - by hand! “I rode my bike to get stories and did a regular news round walking the streets of Dandenong. “I would call at WJ Garner funeral services, then in Walker Street, the Beau Mond factory near the station, to the schools, the churches and real estate offices.” Marg worked in the halcyon days of
newspapers and never forgot the click of the linotypes and going home with ink stains on her clothes. Not even the birth of daughter Melvena could keep Marg from her news rounds. The baby went along in her pram as Marg visited contacts around the streets of Dandenong. Marg married twice, and nursed Melvena until her daughter tragically lost her battle with cancer in 2010. Marg struggled with the technological changes that swept through the industry in the 1980s and ’90s. Management tried to make her use

DANDENONG lost one of its official Living Treasures and the Journal a precious link with its past when veteran reporter Marg Stork died last week. Marg, as she was affectionately known, died on Tuesday 10 June after a short illness. She was 91. Remarkably Marg never retired, contributing her popular Moment with Marg column right up until her recent illness. “It’s the people who make it such an enjoyable job,” Marg is quoted as saying in a tribute to her career published on the Journal’s 140th birthday in 2005. “(Former editor) Greg Dickson taught me to write and write - for this I am forever grateful”. Her father Rowland Archer bought his 10-year-old daughter her first typewriter at Dandenong Market. Marg started her career as an honorary correspondent with the Journal when she was just 15 and still a student at Dandenong High School. Her round was social news from Hallam, Hampton Park, Cranbourne and Lyndhurst where she lived on her parents’ property ‘Ryecroft’. She was put on the Journal payroll in 1940 at 10 shillings a week. Marg’s recall of the past was legendary and she would often regale young reporters with stories of brownouts and the shortage of newsprint during the Great Depression and war years and of long lines of readers patiently waiting outside the old Scott Street office - each clutching a threepence in their hand - to purchase a copy of the Journal. “In those days I was jack of all trades,” she recalled. “I swept the office in the mornings and used to dive for cover when the district stock and station agents drove cows and calves along Scott Street on their way to the old stock market

Study to ping some options on the table By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS PING pong could be a smash in Greater Dandenong - but it lobs short of the facilities needed for its potentially vast pool of players. The Dandenong Table Tennis Association has outgrown its base at Dandenong Oasis with players lining up for tables and no room for juniors to train on competition nights. Despite the constraints, the association has produced London 2012 Olympian Robert Frank and eight national champions. President Hua Hu said: “We’re getting by. “The sport’s popularity here is steady over the past 10 years but it could be bigger if we had a venue to run programs for kids and for us.”
Greater Dandenong Council is conducting a feasibility study into possible locations for table tennis in the municipality. The council-owned Springers Leisure Centre in Keysborough, which is used for basketball and badminton, has been suggested as an under-utilised possibility. However the DTTA considers the venue to be too far from its traditional base. Councillor Heang Tak said table tennis was a popular, traditional sport among the city’s burgeoning south Asian community but it needed a large training hub to encourage more players. “Table tennis is such a wellknown sport. Anyone can join in. “It has a range of benefits - it
would encourage people to get out, meet their neighbours and get active.” Last week Olympian Miao Miao backed the push after he saw the cramped make-shift facilities at a multicultural table tennis tournament at the Cambodian Association, Springvale. She said juniors needed proximate venues five to six days a week in order to be coached at elite level. Ms Miao was born in China - a traditional ping pong nation - where children play the game at school and train after school almost every day at district sports centres. “When you consider children are training once or twice a week here, it’s a big difference between us and China and Europe,” Ms Miao said.
“It’s hard for juniors to otherwise get to the next level. “I’ve been a professional tabletennis player all my life. “I love the sport and I’d like to develop this sport, especially when a lot of people play in this area. “If you could have one or two centres here, it would be convenient for parents - they won’t have to spend so long on the road to take their children after school.” Table Tennis Victoria chief executive Anne King agreed there was a great need in Greater Dandenong, especially given its well-suited demographics. She said the nearest major centre was in Mornington Peninsula Shire, with possibly another on its way in the Frankston council area.
Fragile defence By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A SPRINGVALE man was fined $650 for criminal damage after claiming he accidentally smashed his ex-wife’s glass door while trying to “knock” on it with a rock. Magistrate Gerard Bryant gave little credence to the accused’s claim in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. “The only person he’s fooling with that explanation is himself. “That’s the type of explanation you’d get from a seven-year-old. “I don’t accept for one minute that you were knocking on the glass door with a rock.” Mr Bryant said the accused’s actions at 10.10pm on 4 November were born of anger and frustration, and that the accused was since remorseful. “I’m sure your ex-wife was terrified by what had happened.” The 56-year-old accused claimed in his record of interview with police that he was upset because his wife had falsely accused him of stealing money from her. Police served the accused with a family violence safety notice soon after the incident, preventing him from contacting his ex-wife other than for children visitation purposes. The accused’s lawyer told the court there had been no violence since the couple divorced 10 years ago and no breaches of the intervention order since. The accused, who migrated from Vietnam about 30 years ago, had been long-term unemployed but assisted with child payments and his ex-wife’s rent, the lawyer said.

Silver shrapnel is heaven cent solution HAILEYBURY College students are using small-change to make a big difference. Students across its three campuses, including Keysborough, have collected more than 100,000 five-cent coins - raising $5092 for charity. Teacher Martin Costello said students had been collecting increasing amounts for the YGap 5cent campaign over the past three years. “It’s quite a task taking all the coins to the bank.” The silver shrapnel will be used to fund the building of primary schools in Rwanda, educate rescued sex-slave girls in Cambodia and save fresh-food throwouts for nutritional education in Australia.

Safe place ensures survival of the arts By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS HAZARAS will celebrate the survival of their music, poetry, theatre and art in a concert in Springvale this Sunday. Singer and musician Taqi Khan said the Omagh Celebrations was an historic attempt to keep Hazaragi culture alive in Australia. “It’s the first time we’ll be together to celebrate in a big cultural show with many artists coming from around the country,” he said. Of the 20,000 Hazaras in Australia, an estimated 9000 live in Melbourne’s south-east, including Dandenong. They are among millions who have fled Afghanistan due to ethnic-based executions, abuses and assassinations, Khan said.
“In Afghanistan, we weren’t allowed to keep alive our culture. “These celebrations are a way to promote it and introduce it to our young people.” Khan has workshopped traditional music and singing with young people in the lead-up to the event. He will perform a mix of traditional folk, pop and classical music. He will be joined by poet Farkhonda Akbari, photographer, filmmaker and journalist Barat Ali Batoor and actor and theatre maker Bashir Bakhtiari. The event is part of the Emerge Festival, which is run by Multicultural Arts Victoria. The Omagh Celebrations is at Springvale Town Hall on 22 June from 6pm to 10.30pm.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 18 June 1914 Things that are needed more An actress tells of a child who was the youngest member of a very hard-up family. One day her father told her that she had a new baby sister. “Isn’t that nice?” he said. But hard lessons of domestic economy had already taken hold of the little girl, and she answered severely, ”Well, Daddy, I s’pose it’s alright, but it seems to me there’s a lot of things we need more!” 50 years ago 17 June 1964 Fruit weights inspectors at market Any suspected cases of fruit “topping” and of short-weight at the produce market could
be reported on the spot, the Town Clerk (Mr Elliott) said at last week’s Dandenong Council meeting. He was replying to a question asked of Councillor Schoon at a previous meeting. Mr. Elliott said an inspector of the Department of Agriculture had an office near the market Superintendent’s office and any complaints about the quality of fruit should be directed there. “There is also a weights and measures Inspector there as well and complaints will be dealt with straight away,” he said. 20 years ago 20 June 1994 Salvos in plea over dumping Indiscriminate dumping of rubbish clippings,
rotting mattresses and household refuse is giving Salvation Army Red Shield Industries manager Hugh Wright a $25,000 per year headache. Mr Wright says it costs householders $20 each time they take their rubbish to the tip, so many use collection bins at the Salvos’ welfare centre in Frawley Road, Doveton. Mr Wright said: “It saves residents the trouble of taking the rubbish to the tip but dumps in our laps the disposal problem.” 5 years ago 15 June 2009 Life still a Cabaret for school One of Dandenong’s oldest dance schools is celebrating its 60th Dance Academy will hold a cabaret reunion at the Grand International

able any suitably qualified provider to apply, including organisations currently providing services.” She said the new model Mental Health Community Support Services would be tailored to individual needs rather than offering prescrip-
tive programs. “No current clients will miss out on the services they need to manage or recover from their mental illness.” The group is exhibiting at Heritage Hill gallery, Dandenong, until 22 June.

A LONG-RUNNING arts studio for people with mental illness is set to close next month due to the loss of state funding. Art Seekers Studios, which offers a free arts space led by a trained professional artist for up to 100 people a week, has operated in Noble Park and Pakenham for the past eight years. The Arts Access Victoria program’s annual $97,000 funding will end in July after the State Government recommissioned funding for mental health services, including art therapy. Arts Access Victoria executive director Veronica Pardo said participants would be, at least for the time being, left without alternatives to the tight creative group from 31 July. There’s a “sense of family” among the group - “people come and support each other,” Ms Pardo said. Some members have been part of the artists’ club for several years and know that they don’t have to talk about their illness, but simply make art. “They have come together and built that connection. Now this loss is causing a lot of distress among the group.” Art has a subtle therapeutic effect on the participants and one of the “tangible outcomes” was being able to tell one’s story, she said. “It can be hard to find the words to communicate to others. This is a way of expressing and sharing their experiences.” A spokeswoman for Mental Health Minister Mary Wooldridge said Arts Access Victoria did not put in a bid for the recommissioned funding “despite being advised sev-

MARG STORK 1923-2014
The journalist who earned our respect By PETER SIMCOCK THE news that Marg Stork passed away last week didn’t come entirely unexpectedly, she had been ailing for some time. But, anticipated or dreaded, the fateful phone call still left an awful sadness and sense of loss. I can’t really recall the first time I met Marg but I know when I first heard of her. It was 1980, I had just arrived in Australia from the UK and had joined the editorial staff of the Journal - John Woods, Adam Hankin and Marg. Only Marg wasn’t based at the Dandenong-Frankston Road, she had her own office in the town centre. Hankin, brusque I know but that was how he liked to be called, told me stories of how old she was (even then), how pedantic and how many people she knew. “Wait until you meet her’’. The day must have come and gone, but meet Marg I eventually did. My first thoughts are lost, but gradually she became part of my working life, calling in to the office in Walker Street and later the Hub Arcade to collect her copy became a regular job. Listening to her stories about the old Scott Street office, Greg Dickson, her beloved John Woods, Hugh Buggy, her respect for photographer Barry Palmer and the innumerable other people she knew became second nature. Marg had a work ethic beyond compare. Having grown up during the Depression she knew everything had to be earned. She was only in her mid-teens when she started work for the Journal, cycling here
and there. During the war years she worked in the Land Army and for the paper, writing as well as doing the bookwork. She had a prodigious memory. Names, facts, dates, she could recall them easily even until a few weeks ago when I last spoke with her. She wanted to share them all with readers, something which would annoy acerbic sub-editors always looking to save space. In fact if there was one thing Marg struggled with it was the way newspapers changed, from text heavy products that you paid for to advertising-friendly handouts with far less information pushed into your letterbox. Technology was also a problem. Marg never adapted to computer-driven journalism. In the mid-’80s management did try to make her use an early type of PC. They were not user-friendly and hurt Marg’s wrists. She dug her heels in. The machine went and the clickety clack of the typewriter returned. Sourcing ribbons and getting Marg’s typewriters repaired was one of the banes of my life as an editor. She was immensely proud of Dandenong and the larger district. I never saw her happier than when she was named a City of Greater Dandenong Living Treasure and she never missed an opportunity to spruik the city and its organisations, the CFA and Dandenong Show in particular. To Marg’s husband Don, Julie and I send our condolences.
The late Marg Stork in her earlier reporting days. Life will go on without Marg but the world will not be the same. She was a remarkable woman, a dedicated journalist who worked for the same paper for nearly 75 years. I will miss her. Vale Marg.
Flood of tributes On behalf of the Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society Inc, I wish to offer our sincerest condolences on the passing of our much-loved and treasured Marg Stork. Marg was a true icon of Dandenong’s community. She was always so interested and informed on the happenings within our city and a wonderful supporter of all things Dandenong. The Dandenong Show was diligently reported on and promoted by Marg for as long as any of us can remember and she will be always fondly remembered and sadly missed. Lynne Ferris, Secretary.
It’s so sad. I knew Marg well and she did a number of stories about me and I found her very knowledgable and a charming person. She loved Dandenong and Dandenong loved her. Alan Collier.
Marg Stork was one of Greater Dandenong’s iconic characters. In many ways she was the heart and soul of this area. She was also one of council’s much-loved Living Treasures. Her love of Dandenong and its people and her role as a storyteller will be sadly missed by all those who knew her, worked with her, as well as the people that read her weekly column in the Dandenong Journal newspaper. The City of Greater Dandenong sends its deepest sympathies to her husband Don and the rest of her family. Marg will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Cr Jim Memeti, Mayor, City of Greater Dandenong.
She was going strong right to the end. RIP Marg. Brad Woodford.
Very sad news - loved Marg’s stories about the old days at the Journal, and never any shortage of advice for the current journos! Stuart Teather. A big loss to the community and to journalism. RIP Marg Stork. Ann Monaghan.
What an amazing woman she was and what a story she could tell. She had travelled and seen amazing things! RIP Marg. Terri-ann Varga. Sad day indeed. Dawn Van Krieken. Oh, I’m so sorry. I loved her column. Amanda McCracken. Very sad to read this but glad to have had the pleasure of getting to know her and her city through her words. She was a treasure indeed. Mandy Crane.

MARG STORK 1923-2014
Shining light of the city By JOHN WOODS MY LATE dear colleague Marg Stork was the consummate journalist... tenacious, accurate, considerate, dedicated, determined and caring are just some of the words which immediately come to mind when recalling her lifetime’s work with, and for, the people of Dandenong and surrounds. The Dandenong Journal was her life and in my 50-year association with the newspaper nobody involved in our profession came anywhere close to challenging her vast knowledge of the city and its people, gleaned over many decades of service via the written word. She began her journalistic life when a teenager, under the guidance of The Dandenong Journal’s highly-respected owner-editor Greg Dickson. Greg was Dandenong through and through and his publication shone like a beacon in the Victorian newspaper publishing scene. Greg’s devotion to the then shire and its residents, without doubt, had an influence on how Marg’s career and dedication to it would evolve. A diminutive figure but with awesome tenacity, Marg provided her readers with a myriad of published memories of her work, ranging from wedding reports and social activities of the best-known and lesser-known members of ‘her’ community, to front-page stories that over the years would help her beloved Journal win many national and Victorian newspaper awards. I first met Marg early in 1965
when the newspaper was published out of what by today’s workplace standards were pathetically decrepit premises in Scott Street, Dandenong. Not that such an irritant bothered ‘our Marg’ - she never complained or uttered a bad word about anything or anyone. In the newspaper profession, that is a rare occurrence. When our journos in the late 1970s were trying to come to grips with what was then the very raw beginning of the computer age, Marg was obliged to ditch her typewriter and, along with her colleagues, had to give those new-fangled machines a try. But, after suffering RSI (repetitive strain injury), Marg went back to belting out her stories on her Remi. The result? No more RSI! Marg worked with that old, clunky typewriter in those earlier days and was still producing her stories that way until the end. Marg was fiercely loyal to The Journal and would let nothing stand in the way of turning up to work every day, taking the train from Oakleigh and then walking to Scott Street from Dandenong railway station and in later years taking a cab after the office moved out to Dandenong-Frankston Road. More often than not, she’d pick up a story along the way, many of them from the cabbies. That loyalty knew no bounds and as her then boss I vividly remember receiving a call at home late one night from an understand-
ably agitated and teary Marg, saying her marriage had come to an unexpected end. Told that she should take as much time off as she wanted, Marg insisted on coming into work the next day. Only the most loyal and strongwilled person could have done that. Marg’s journalistic efforts in the Dandenong community were recognised, and rightly so, when she was named one of the city’s Living Treasures, the highest award the council could bestow on any of its citizens. The accolade was awarded to people who it was agreed encapsulated the true meaning of community service. To Marg she was simply doing her job; to the council, she was indeed a ‘Treasure’. In the mid-1980s, and unbeknown to Marg, I sought and willingly received written commendations from civic leaders, parliamentarians, community leaders, business people and others recommending Marg for an Australia Day national award. Being advised that the nomination had not been successful was one of the saddest - and least understandable - occasions in my journalistic career. Such an award would have been a most fitting reward for not only a journalist for whom we in the profession, and the local community in general, had the utmost respect, but also for a wonderful, wonderful person. Dandenong and the Journal has lost its journalistic heart and soul. RIP, Marg.

NAVIGATING the dos and don’ts of bringing up children in the modern world is tricky enough without throwing a clash of cultures into the mix. But that is precisely the scenario facing refugee and immigrant mothers as they try to raise children in modern Australia without losing touch with the traditions and cultures of their homeland. On 6 June 70 immigrant and refugee mothers attended a parenting day at Dandenong South Primary School. Community hub leader Deborah Handley said the parenting day canvassed a range of topics including infant and toddler health, how the maternal and child health system worked and how to assimilate two cultures when parenting. “There are differences in parenting styles, expectations and what is termed acceptable between the Australian community and newly arrived members of our community,” Ms Handley said. “In reponse to this need for education, the Muslim Women’s Association for Human Rights has prepared this wonderful day to help educate, inform, nurture and support mothers in our community.” Most of the women who attended were Afghan refugee mothers with children at Dandenong North, Dandenong West and Dandenong South primary schools. “It is up to them to decide what is important from the culture of origin, what they would

Central to the strategy are playgroups that bring together mothers and their children from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. The Tuesday playgroup
is open to all cultures while the Wednesday and Thursday groups are for Afghan parents only. “Children who have attended the playgroup are hitting the classroom more settled and more engaged and want to learn having been given structure and support by their parents in the lead-up to school,” Ms Handley said. “We want to engage and empower families in the community to help make their children more ready for school.” The playgroups run from 9.30am to noon. The Wednesday session is full but there are still places available on Thursdays. For more information contact Dandenong South Primary School on 9792 3726.

DANDENONG JOURNAL
Sampey fund motion fails By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong councillor Maria Sampey has failed to get her colleagues’ support for the council to pay for her legal challenge to gain access to an unedited report of last year’s secret probe into her and councillor Peter Brown. Cr Sampey has launched an appeal at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after chief executive John Bennie rejected her Freedom of Information application to see the full report in February. In her motion at a council meeting last week, Cr Sampey moved for “commensurate legal support” as was being provided by the council’s lawyers representing Mr Bennie at the VCAT hearing. The motion failed to gain a mover, in Cr Sampey’s absence; several councillors were apolo-
gies for the meeting, including Cr Brown. Cr Sampey has been absent from council meetings on stress leave since November citing a “breakdown” caused by the probe and its aftermath. After the meeting, Mayor Jim Memeti said the council’s role was “to represent the interests of its residents, and to fund legal costs of a member of (the) council to take legal action against their own council would not be a valid use of council funds”. Cr Sampey said she regarded herself as the “defendant”. “I’ve been defending myself for nearly 12 months against this secret investigation. Why is Mr Bennie the victim?” The ‘confidential and privileged’ probe was launched last year by Mr Bennie and then-mayor Angela Long into
alleged misconduct by Crs Brown and Sampey in allegedly upsetting council staff over a botched footpath project. An investigation by CT Management was undertaken, though no formal complaint was lodged by staff members against the councillors. Councillors last year voted for themselves to have viewonly access to a redacted version of the report, which concealed witnesses’ idenities and was housed at a Dandenong law firm’s office. The public has not been able to see the report - either in redacted or its complete form nor its findings. In March, Mr Bennie rejected the Journal’s FOI application for access to either version of the report. The VCAT hearing continues on 3 July.
Anti-alcohol argument slurred COUNCILLORS have expressed concern that liquor outlets have reached saturation point in central Dandenong - yet approved an 11th outlet in its CBD last week. At a council meeting last week, councillor Matthew Kirwan failed to get a councillor to second his bid to reject
an application by Aldi Supermarkets for a liquor outlet in Dandenong Plaza. He said adding an 11th outlet in a 500-metre radius would have an “adverse cumulative impact”. The site was within 120 metres of three social welfare
centres, 300 metres from the council’s youth services office and close to two primary schools and a high school, Cr Kirwan said. Cr John Kelly said he didn’t disagree there were too many outlets in Dandenong. - Cam Lucadou-Wells

Call out for more parking officers By CASEY NEILL MORE parking inspectors should patrol Greater Dandenong’s streets, Councillor Matthew Kirwan says. “The feedback I am getting from residents and shopkeepers is that the current level of patrolling is not preventing many of cases overstaying, inconveniencing residents as well as shoppers who can’t get a park,” he said. Cr Kirwan last year told a council meeting that people attending a nearby mosque
were taking up customer parking spaces in a Cleeland Street shopping strip. “It is still not getter any better,” he said. “One shopkeeper reports it is affecting his business so much that he may soon move his business out of Dandenong. “The solution to me is more car parking to be available in central Dandenong but also greater patrolling to enforce restrictions - particularly those in residential streets near
the centre of Dandenong.” The council’s city planning, design and amenity director Jody Bosman said the council had six full-time parking officers. “And it is considered that this is sufficient together with the above initiatives at this stage,” he said. Mr Bosman said the council was considering expanding ticket machines in and around central Dandenong and the Dandenong Hospital precinct. “This has been shown internationally to be a more ef-
fective approach to managing parking demand and supply than simply putting more officers on the streets in the highdemand areas,” he said. “During the next couple of months the council will be looking at a number of parking options in the Dandenong central activity zone (CAD). “These changes are intended to improve access to allday parking and increase the number of short-stay spaces available to customers in the area.”
Veterans form convoy to remember Korea A THREE-WAY alliance of naval veterans was sealed at Dandenong RSL last Tuesday. Veterans who served on HMAS Bataan, HMAS Warramunga and HMAS Arunta joined forces for an annual tribal luncheon. The guest speaker was Lieutenant Commander Greg Ryan who runs the HMAS Cerberus training centre in Hastings. HMAS Bataan Veterans Association secretary John Laughton said an historic tie was forged between the Bataan and Warramunga crews during a treacherous operation during the Korean War. In a successful seven-hour operation, the ships evaded minefields and surmounted rough seas and snowstorms to rescue wounded UN troops and Korean refugees.
IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… ABC 774 Sunday morning radio presenter Libbi Gore was keen to indulge in the Dandenong Market’s famous hot jam donuts when she broadcast live from the recent Emerge Under the Big Top festival. Local St Vincent de Paul stalwart Anne-Marie Lochery obliged by handing Libbi a packet of suger covered, deepfried goodness while the former Elle McFeast was talking on air with Journal editor Narelle Coulter. Libbi, who was on her first visit to the market, also took home a bunch of roses and was astounded that red capsicums were only $2.99 a kilogram.

DEER shooting seems all the rage, judging by a flurry of firearms licence applications at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last week. A magistrate drily observed that deer-hunting was “flavour of the month”, prompting an exchange with a barrister about the so-called sport’s popularity with tourists in the state. Mind you, one applicant previously caught breaking into Gumbuya Park and skylarking on its go-karts was given a magisterial lecture on the responsibilities of gun ownership. On granting the application, the judge said: “You realise, it’s a privilege, not a right, to hold firearms.”

A DOVETON driver appears to have lost her way in more ways than one. Dandenong Magistrates’
Court last week heard the drunken driver was returning home from a friend’s place in Rowville but somehow found herself in Clyde at 2am. Worse, the driver drove around the wrong side of a roundabout, crashing head-on with another car. Both cars were written off but, fortunately, the drivers survived. The accused blew 0.12 on the breatho. The magistrate said that he was familiar with such cases from his previous life as a coroner. “You are very fortunate to be standing here,” he said as he cancelled the accused’s licence for 18 months.

A MAN who hadn’t fronted up for work as part of a community corrections order was given a clear warning from the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court bench last week. “If you are sitting here again, to use the vernacular, bring your toothbrush,” the judge told the man.

IT WAS not a bad save from Councillor Sean O’Reilly during last Tuesday’s council meeting. Embarking on a lengthy speech about resident objections to a two-storey, four-unit dwelling in Wall Street, Noble Park, he was reminded that it was actually question time. “It was a long preamble,” Cr O’Reilly said - who then asked if council staff could prepare a report into resident concerns about overcrowded traffic and parking.

Night’s alleyways of art DANDENONG’S night life has been particularly vibrant during this month’s Nocturnal festival. Some of the treats have been illuminated skipping ropes, sizzling red gumboots and surprising projections down laneways, car parks, paths and on building walls. Councillor John Kelly said last week that while he didn’t like all of the 29 installations, performances and light projects, art was there for people to “make their own decisions about”. The Journal’s GARY SISSONS took a guided tour with some of the artists among the night galleries last week.

Bounce in their feet By CASEY NEILL
BOUNCE is helping young refugees in Greater Dandenong to find their feet and their future. Settlement service AMES and notfor-profit C8 Journey deliver the youth mentoring program for newly-arrived refugees aged 16 to 25. All mentoring is conducted in groups, mentors and mentees are matched according to gender in a culturally-appropriate manner, and personal goals and friendship are key. To mark Refugee Week from 15 to 21 June, Bounce last Friday took part in a soccer tournament at Dandenong Basketball and Volleyball Stadium. “We had volunteers present on the day to provide more information on Bounce,” director Saarah Ozeer said. The 28-year-old founded the youth mentoring program with Senthuren Mahendren in 2009. Ms Ozeer and her family left Sri Lanka in 1995 during the civil war. She says she has a passion for helping other young refugees. “I want to inspire and empower young people to follow their dreams no matter what, have open dialogue within the community and advocate is-
support them in their new life in Australia,” he said. “My role as a mentor is not one of a teacher. Instead we formed an equal and supportive friendship. “I also support the mentees in working towards their goals. “It is great to form a friendship with someone and through this support them in building their new life in Australia.” Another mentor, Linda, said Bounce had been a rewarding and wonderful learning experience. “I have met people from diverse backgrounds, of different ages, who all seek to help and be a part of the Bounce’s Sajad Sarvari, Saarah Ozeer and Ali Nguyen. 121638 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS experience, to make a difference to the lives of the youths who come to MelOne mentee said he’d developed bourne as refugees,” she said. sues surrounding refugees, especially “I think that the Bounce Refugee refugee youth, and to inspire people confidence through Bounce.

Council extends its zone of warm welcomes THE achievements, contribution and rich diversity of Greater Dandenong’s refugee communities will be celebrated during Refugee Week from 15 to 21 June. Greater Dandenong has been a Refugee Welcome Zone since 2002. Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti said the council was committed to supporting and advocating for the rights of refugees and asylum seekers.
The key event for the week’s celebration will be held on Saturday 21 June at the new Dandenong Library. Journey of Hope will feature Arnold Zable, a renowned writer, storyteller, educator and human rights advocate, together with musical performances. At 4.30pm, the City of Greater Dandenong Youth Services FReeZA Committee – in partnership with Southern Ethnic Advisory and Advo-
cacy Council (SEAAC) – will present an innovative theatrical performance at The Castle in Hemmings Park, Princes Highway, Dandenong. The SEACC theatrical show invites community members to share their stories about settling in Australia or living in a multicultural community. These stories will then be performed by the Melbourne Playback Theatre – an improvised theatre company – which will bring them to life
through a captivating performance. Also included will be a guest appearance by SeaACT, the youth performers from the City of Greater Dandenong and the City of Casey. From 7.30pm to 11.30pm, the community’s younger residents (aged 12 to 25 years) are invited to the Ballistik dance party. Further information including the events calendar is available at greaterdandenong.com or on 8571 5265.

IN BRIEF Crutch raid A ROBBER used a crutch to threaten a man and a woman in a house on Heatherton Road, Noble Park. Detective Constable Sally Spalding of Greater Dandenong CIU said the robber knocked on the door and had been led into the house where he demanded money from his 20-year-old victims at 7.35pm on 8 June. A man in his twenties is assisting police with their inquiries.
Motorbike seized A MAN had his allegedly unregistered motorbike impounded for 30 days after being caught riding at more than 70 kilometres per hour over the speed limit in Clarke Road, Springvale. The rider, 38, was detected by police travelling about 123km/h in a 50km/h zone about 12.30pm. He is expected to be charged with speeding, riding an unregistered bike and disqualified riding. The man faces a $733 bill to free his Honda CVR 900 from impoundment next month.
Bin burn-up A WHEELIE bin was set alight at Australia Post’s Dandenong headquarters on 5 June. About 10pm, the bin’s contents were lit by unidentified offenders. Detective Constable Sally Spalding of Greater Dandenong CIU said the bin was “completely damaged”.

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.

NEW HOMES & LAND
CARLISLE’S HEAD START Carlisle Homes will offer up to $200,000 in grants in 2014 and 2015 funding real ‘grassroots’ initiatives across Melbourne and Geelong. The first call has gone out for grant submissions, with applications closing Wednesday, 30 June. Carlisle Homes has launched an exciting grant initiative to help not-for-profit organisations fund projects that make a positive impact in their community. The program will be giving up to $200,000 to local not-for-profit organisations and community groups across Melbourne and Geelong, which will be dispersed over four grant qualifying periods in the following 10 months. John Doulgeridis, Carlisle Homes Director, said this program was an exceptional
opportunity for Carlisle Homes to give back to the community in a substantial way. “This is about helping groups of people with great ideas to grow, thrive and make their community a better place. The program will also allow Carlisle Homes to make a meaningful contribution to the communities it builds in,” Mr Doulgeridis said. Applications will be reviewed each quarter by a panel of judges at Carlisle Homes. Entry is open to community groups and not-for-profit organisations of any size. Charities, educational, health, or sporting organisations with a specific and tangible project in mind are all encouraged to apply for a Carlisle Homes Community grant. If you’re a community group or not-for-profit
organisation that can do with a head start, you’re invited to apply. Applications for the first grant close on June 30, 2014. Visit carlislehomes.com.au to apply. Successful grant recipients will share in up to $50,000. The total grant of $50,000 per quarter will be divided between a number of selected community groups, and will be awarded up to a maximum of $10,000 per application. The community group or organisation will be featured on Carlisle Homes’ Facebook page. Community groups should have a specific and tangible project in mind for how the grant will be used to benefit their local community. For example, a cricket club that requires cricket nets or a new cricket pitch, or a community group that provides
meals for families who are struggling with illness. Entry is open to Melbourne and Geelong based community groups and non-profit organisations of any size, who are seeking funding to help enhance the lives of people in their local community and can be classified into one of the following categories: Sports and Recreation; Health and Caring; Education and Training.

Owning your own home is the great Aussie dream, yet many first home buyers worry that they are being priced out of the market. Australian Bureau of Statistics show buying has certainly become tougher for first timers: its latest figures, for March this year, showed first home buyer finance commitments were just 11.9 per cent of total owneroccupier housing finance commitments in Victoria, and 12.6 per cent Australia wide. But while this is still much lower than the long-run average proportion of 19.9 per cent, the trend is upwards: it was an improvement on February - up 0.1 per cent and on the historic low of 12.3 per cent in November last year, REIV and its national counterpart REIA in Canberra continue to make representations to government about the need for more help for first-time buyers - greater stamp duty concessions and a bigger housing supply, for example. But meanwhile that dream need not be out of reach there are strategies to help you get a foothold in the property market. For those planning to buy their first house, unit or apartment there is good news too: interest rates remain at a record low, with the Reserve Bank cash rate just 2.5 per cent. That makes borrowing cheaper and
repayment smaller. House prices are still cheaper in many areas of Victoria than in boom times and there are still plenty of affordable properties - if you know where to look. The latest median house price figures, for the first three months of this year, show there are parts of regional Victoria where it is still possible to buy a house for less than $200,000. Ararat, Donald, Dunolly, Churchill, Moe, Morwell, Merbein and Seymour all had median prices below this level. And there were many more towns with prices between $200,000 and $250,000. Ask yourself where you want to live? Find the kinds of homes you want, get to know the local agents and talk about what is available and what you can afford. If your preferred town or area seems beyond your reach, check other locations close by to see if they may offer a cheaper alternative. If you are looking in a large regional centre, it’s worth considering a unit or apartment rather than a house, as a way of entering the market. The key is to try not to over-extend your mortgage, and make sure payments are manageable, and you’ll be able to enter the property market with confidence - and in your own home sooner. You can then benefit from capital growth, with property a solid long-term investment.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
When chill meets will By NARELLE COULTER SLEEPING in a tent buffeted by blizzards, working in 24-hour darkness and pulling apart sparring huskies was all in a day’s work for Diana Patterson, the first woman in the world to lead an Arctic research station. Ms Patterson detailed her journey from high school physical education teacher to head of a diverse team of scientists, tradesmen, cooks and pilots in one of the most challenging work environments on earth at a South East Women in Business breakfast at Springvale on Friday. It took Ms Patterson 10 years to achieve her ambition of living and working in Antarctica. “It was the best job I’ve had in my life,” she said “I wanted adventure but I wanted someone to pay me to do it.” Knocked back on her first application for the position in 1980, she set about building up her skill base. “I took up cross-country skiing and went snow camping in the high country. “I changed careers from the welfare sector to sport and recreation, in particular infrastructure and development of facilities.” Five applications later, Ms Patterson was finally on her way, appointed in 1987 to lead Australia’s Casey Research Station for six months. “The environment was everything I expected it to be.
Diana Patterson, right, presents a copy of her book to Tracey Herbert, from Attar, at Friday’s Women In Business breakfast. 122140 “I still get an absolute thrill thinking about the helicopter flight to Antarctica. I remember just how exciting it was.” She was one of two women (the other was the cook) and 23 men living in complete isolation, which presented its own unique management challenges. “You can’t sack anyone, you can’t bring in outside mediation to deal with
Association plans for the future of Dandy THE Dandenong Retail Traders Association is currently undergoing changes to grow into the future and improve the way in which it assists customer based businesses, including retail, service and professional. As part of these changes, a new business plan has been prepared with generous assistance from the City of Great Dandenong council. The DRTA will hold a special members’ meeting on Tuesday 24 June at the Ramada Encore Hotel, 50 McCrae Street, Dandenong, at 6pm. Members will be asked to approve the business plan and changes in the conduct of
the association that are part of the new program. “This is an important meeting for members to attend to approve the changes so that the DRTA can grow into a more powerful organisation that will only benefit members,” said Glenys Cooper, chairwoman of the Dandenong Retail Traders Association. Tea and coffee will be supplied and the meeting will also provide an excellent networking opportunity. For information about the meeting or the Dandenong Retail Traders Association contact Glenys Cooper on 0417 394 722 or 9794 9397.
dispute resolution. You have to rely on your own skills.” She immersed herself in life at Casey, working with the scientists as often as she could but also lending a hand as an “apprentice tiler and painter”. “It was a learning experience to be on a building site. I got all sorts of insights into an all-male environment.” In 1989 she was appointed to run
the larger Mawson Station. Flying into Mawson was one of the few times she doubted her ability to carry out the job. “There are three grave markers on a hill, which I could see from my bedroom window. It does bring home to you that you are in a hostile environment.” Ms Patterson shared some of the management lessons she learned during her time in Antarctica. “It is important to reflect on your performance and adapt your own behaviours accordingly, was one of the most important things I learned. “And when there are large problems in an organisation bring them down to small tasks that can be achieved by small groups. That way you can change the dynamic.” Laughingly, she said she also learned how to throw a fantastic theme party, vital to breaking the monotony of life cut off from the outside world. “One of the best things you can do as a leader is organise a good theme party.” Ms Patterson is now working on an anthology of husky stories for her PhD, competing in ski marathons and raising money to support a boarding house at a school in the Kalahari Desert. Her book about living and working in Antarctica is called The Ice Beneath My Feet.
Post workers say writing is on the wall as letters fade away By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS POSTAL workers are worried about hundreds of looming job losses at Dandenong Letter Centre if Australia Post pursues a campaign for a less-frequent mail service. Dandenong workers were spared the brunt of the 900 axed jobs, largely head office and ‘back-of-house’ roles, which were announced by Australia Post last week. Communications Workers Union secretary Joan Doyle said the workers would be hit hard by Australia Post’s signalled plans to reduce mail delivery days to two to three
days a week. She said such a large service reduction could lead to the loss of about 400 jobs from the 1000-strong workforce at the mail centre. “There’s already been some changes in the loss of overtime and loss of opportunities at the Dandenong Letter Centre. “We’re on the campaign trail now we know what they’re on about. “There’s still enough letters (4.58 billion annually) that need to be delivered every day. There’s nowhere to store letters of that volume.” In its 2012-’13 annual report, Australia Post stated
that its mail division lost $187 million - a 60 per cent increase in the losses it suffered in 2011-’12. In the past five years, mail volumes shrank from 5.32 billion to 4.58 billion - a 14 per cent contraction. Chief executive Ahmed Fahour said letter volumes were expected to decline at an accelerated rate in coming years. An Australia Post spokeswoman declined to comment on the CWU’s speculation. “There is no change to our retail network or operations network,” she said.
On track for trading Afghans BUSINESS opportunities between Australia and Afghanistan will be discussed at conference in Dandenong this week. The Australian Afghan Business Council is hosting the three-day conference, which starts on Thursday 19 June at Punthill. Organiser Bashir Keshtiar is expecting 50 delegates from the USA, Dubai, Turkey and New Zealand to join business representatives from Afghanistan and Greater Dandenong in what he believes is an Australian first. Mr Keshtiar said he was excited that, for once, a conference about Afghanistan would focus not on bloodshed and war but rather on trade and commercial opportunities. “This forum is about fostering trade and investment between the two countries. “I am really excited because, hopefully, this will be the beginning of a long economic journey between the two countries.” Mr Keshtiar confirmed that 14 local companies had signed up to take part in the conference, with six making presentations. He said Afghanistan presented commercial opportunities for Australian firms in mining, natural resources, agriculture and education. “Security is always a key question in regards to Afghanistan. “If you had asked me this time last year I would have said ‘my God, I just don’t know’ but now things are not as bad as they are portrayed.” Mr Keshtiar was born in Afghanistan but fled nearly 30 years ago to Pakistan when the government tried to coerce him into compulsory military service. He has lived in Melbourne for 26 years, working mainly in the banking sector. He is a well-known supporter of the Afghan community in Greater Dandenong through his involvement with the City of Greater Dandenong Afghan Bazaar Cultural Tours. The Australian Afghan Business Council is a non-profit, non-government organisation that aims to unite business communities and social networks in both countries.

BUSINESS PROFILE
Ready to handle any health challenge THE Valley Private Hospital, Cranbourne, is open 24/7 and the days are never predictable, according to Nurse Unit Manager Kristy Austin. “As we are open 24/7, our day is never typical,” she explained. “We have to be ready to handle anything from a broken bone to a heart attack. “We never quite know what is coming through our doors at any given time.” Ms Austin said she loved her career despite the demanding aspect of the work. “I knew from the age of 10 I wanted to do this work,” she said. “I joined St John Ambulance at 11 years old as a cadet to learn about first aid, that’s where my passion for emergency medicine started. “One of the challenges is dealing with the unexpected, which also makes the job so interesting.
“We have to deal with so many variables, not just in patient profiles or personalities, but their often complex medical needs. “By far the most rewarding part of this role is when we save a life. “For example, last week a male patient aged 82 was transferred from a nursing home after a fall. It should have been a simple, straightforward case. “However, he suffered a cardiac arrest (his heart stopped) and if not for our experience and ability to act quickly this man would not be with his family today.” Ms Austin said the private ED had one big advantage over the public system. “Our biggest advantage over the public system (and we acknowledge they do a fantastic job) is the lack of waiting periods,” she said. “We also have rapid access to most specialties and we can admit directly into
our wards, which makes patient care of the highest standard.” And does she have advice for anyone who has to visit an emergency department? “You or your family should know what medications you are taking, the details of the GP you see and, of course, your medical history,” Ms Austin said. “The more details we have around your presentation the better for us. “Often a lack of information around how and why a patient comes to the ED can slow down our processes and delay treatment. “We are here 24/7 to support our community and although we hope you never need to use our service, we have 30 years’ experience in emergency medicine.” The Valley Private Hospital is at 197 High Street, Cranbourne. Phone 5991 1222.
Kristy Austin, Nurse Unit Manager of The Valley Private Hospital’s Emergency Department.

Joseph’s dream in colours By CASEY NEILL
Fri 20th June June Newman Fri 27th June Rob Foenander
1139870-EG25-14
JOSEPH and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is taking centre stage at the Drum Theatre. Windmill Theatre Company is taking audiences on a vibrant musical journey through the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. The Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice-written show follows Joseph, who is his father’s favourite son and is blessed with the gift of prophetic dreams. His jealous brothers sell him to slavery and Joseph embarks on adventures that challenge his strength, spirit and humanity. Narre Warren South’s Kofi Nortey plays Issachar and said learning the script and how to read sheet music had been a challenge. “This is the biggest and most professional musical theatre show I have been a part of so I’m very excited to see it all come together,” he said. Narrator Carla White said she’d always loved the show. “It’s one I was exposed to at a young age and given I was a huge Jason Donovan fan when I was younger, of course I knew about the show!” she said. “As I got a little older and started to really find my love for musical theatre, the role of the narrator soon got to the top of list of dream roles... after all, it is one of the larger female roles in musical theatre.” Ms White said audiences could expect colour, energy,
Windmill Theatre Company’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat cast rehearse. fun and variety and songs ranging in musical style from country and western to calypso, bubble-gum pop and rock’n’roll. James Terry said Joseph had been a dream role since learning Andrew Lloyd Webber during his first years of musical theatre training. “It’s a colourful role with plenty of light and shade that gives the role some depth to explore,” he said. “How could I resist a role with such fabulous costume changes and the chance to show off - my lack of - chiselled abs?” Mr Terry said it was easy to mimic and base a character and vocals on previous actors’ portrayals.
“I intend to bring my own colour and tone into the role and try to relate the role to as much of myself as possible to give it some realism,” he said. The show runs for 140 minutes with an interval at Drum Theatre, corner Lonsdale and Walker streets, Dandenong, on Friday 27 June at 8pm, Saturday 28 June at 2pm and 8pm and Sunday 20 June at 2pm. Tickets are $40 for adults, $36 concession or $32.50 for Drum members. A family ticket for two adults and two children aged under 15 years is $140. Call 9771 6666 or visit www.drumtheatre.com.au for bookings.

DANDENONG JOURNAL
Connecting people and communities
Monday, 16 June, 2014 Page 55
SPORT Where it all began By JARROD POTTER OLYMPIAN Liz Cambage is intent on making her time in the green and gold this year - both with the Opals and her new WNBL team Dandenong - work out for the best. The Dandenong Rangers have made the signing coup of the upcoming Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) season by signing the 22-year-old former Rangers’ junior basketballer. Returning to where her basketball journey started, Cambage’s professional career has taken her to Canberra, the USA and China but with her family on the Mornington Peninsula and the upcoming FIBA World Championships her main focus, Cambage preferred to spend 2014-15 back in Australia with the Opals and in the WNBL. “Just a bit of a break from international play and back to where it all
started at Dandenong,” Cambage said. “I’ve been overseas for three years now and I think it’s time for me to come back and settle down a little bit and give back to where it all started.” Despite numerous offers from Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) teams, Cambage wanted to base herself locally this year to prepare for international duties. Instead of cashing in with the Chinese clubs this year, Cambage has taken it upon herself to stand as a leader for the Australian Opals with big-name players Lauren Jackson, Suzy Batkovic, Abby Bishop and Jenna O’Hea not featuring in this year’s championships. “With it being the World Championships this year, it really helped my decision to stay at home,” Cambage said. “I feel with Lauren 50/50 at the moment and Suzy, Abby and Jenna all sitting out, it was a big decision for
Dandenong’s next generation - Leah, Alana, Claire, Gemma, Emma and Brooke - got to shoot around with Liz Cambage who recently signed with the Rangers for the WNBL season. 122050 Picture: JARROD POTTER me to stay back and take on a bit of a leadership role and try to mentor the younger girls coming through the system with the Opals.” It will be the first time Cambage has played for Dandenong since her rookie season in 2007-08 before switching to the now defunct Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) team and Bulleen, now known as the Melbourne Boomers. “It’s going to be a really exciting season... I’ve already been home for four months now... I really needed a
whole year at home this season,” she said. Dandenong coach Mark Wright was thrilled to get Cambage to sign with the Rangers and picking up a player of her calibre immediately makes his side a threat for the championship. “We’ve hit the jackpot, I think,” Wright said. “We’re very excited - obviously we had our eye on her and were trying to get her. “It’s been a bit of a nervous wait for
us at Dandenong but now that we’ve got her we’re excited. “No matter who Liz played for they’d always be in the finals, so thank God she’s with us and we’d better be able to follow that through.” The Rangers will also feature the return of All Star 5 point-guard Kathleen Macleod and WNBA American import Monica Wright to fill the gap left by the off-season departure of Australian Opal and WNBA player Jenna O’Hea.
Gods show the glory of Greeks By JARROD POTTER ADD another legend to Greek mythology. Only given a slim chance to advance - South Springvale Soccer Club overcame its higher-ranked opponent Hume City in the quarter finals of the Dockerty Cup to earn the club the first Victorian place in a national cup competition. In “an historical moment for the club” South Springvale coach Bill Lambropoulos and his charges forged their own destiny with an emphatic 3-0 victory at Heidelberg’s Olympic Park on Wednesday night. Named after the Greek god of war, the Aris boys took Hume City by siege, levelling the defence and forcing countless errors en route to victory, a Dockerty Cup semi-final spot and, most importantly, an invitation into the inaugural Football Federation Australia (FFA) Cup. The first shots were fired as a defensive error between Hume’s Shane Rexhepi and goalkeeper Evan Alexandrow-Ridley let South Springvale striker Ali Hameed slot a walk-in goal in the eighth minute. The early injury of Daniel Lakovakis forced Lambropoulos to bring on Bill Damianos and the wily midfielder/ striker made a number of chances and helped link up the other strikers Dean Panagopoulos and Hameed. Hameed was afforded too much room once again in the 24th minute as the livewire striker waltzed past the Hume defence and fired off South Springvale’s second score of the first half. The second half was on a knife’s edge throughout as both sides failed to capitalise on their goal-bound attempts. Hume City continued to test the South Springvale defence, desperately seeking the first goal to bring the match back within its grasp as Hume City captain Shane Rexhepi demanded his players “show something”. The push was resisted by the Aris defence - the stellar efforts of goal-
After a 5-4 win over Ringwood, Dandenong Baseball Association lofted the State Winter Championships City Division plate.
Dandenong makes big pitch By JARROD POTTER
South Springvale’s Dean Panagopoulos stormed the Hume City defence all night in Aris’s 3-0 Dockerty Cup win. 122051 Picture: JARROD POTTER keeper Riani Dowisha and central defenders Couriail Nassim and Daniel Lakovakis halted the limited Hume opportunities with Dowisha earning a clean sheet with countless saves. With the South Springvale crowd filling the Heidelberg stadium with chants of “ARIS, ARIS” the players lifted for one last attack in injury time as Damian Iaconis slotted the defining goal to help his team advance. The coach felt pure joy when Iaconis’s strike hit the netting - fittingly coloured black and yellow, the same as South Springvale’s traditional kit. “It was elation, absolute elation,” Lambropoulos said. “Two-nil is always a funny score. You can turn it around and teams can come at you, but once we put the third one in, everything got settled and we’d done the job for the night. “Fantastic win, I’m chuffed and speechless - the boys are over and besides themselves. “We believed that on our day, if we were disciplined on the ground we could challenge just about anybody
and we showed this today.” Lambropoulos thanked the South Springvale fans and encouraged everyone in the City of Greater Dandenong to watch the team’s next Dockerty Cup clash. The coach also says the win shows the FFV State League 1 South East team is competition ready for a step up to NPL in upcoming seasons. South Springvale advances to the final four of the Dockerty Cup, with the next round of matches to be confirmed. The FFA Cup round of 32 is set to commence on 29 July.

DANDENONG Baseball Association claimed an emphatic 5-4 grand final win in the State Winter Baseball Championships in Geelong to claim the City Division title. Players from across the association combined to help the DBA advance to the grand final with wins over Ringwood (8-3), City (7-3), Geelong (5-3), City (16-2) and a 5-5 draw with Geelong. Its only loss in the round robin stage was going down 2-6 to Ringwood on Day 2 - leading to a third clash with Ringwood on Monday for the championship. Playing the grand final on the Queen’s Birthday, Blake Cunningham pitched for his life as his superb eight-inning effort in the final limited Ringwood to just four runs. In a back-and-forth match, Cain Bumpstead was the key hitter for Dandenong claiming a home run to level the scores before his single hit in the final innings brought home coach Mark Jones off second base to claim the championship. “We’ve won it plenty of times before but it’s been a few years since we last did,” Jones said. “Won it about four years ago in second division and its slowly been
building since there. “Ringwood has been the reigning champ for two to three years so it was extremely rewarding for myself, anyway, to see the guys go through the weekend the way they did and prepare themselves for every game and the way they came through in the end.” Ben Laux was named DBA MVP, an award voted upon by opposition teams, while the coach also praised the efforts of Cunningham and Bumpstead for their exceptional final performances. “Laux had an outstanding tournament with the bat and was most valuable player of our team and that was voted by the opposition,” Jones said. “He was pretty much the standout for the whole weekend for us.” Jones thanked DBA executive member Chris Mayne and scorer Michelle Winther for their tireless help at the long-weekend event.

SPORT FOOTBALL FEDERATION VICTORIA - National Premier Leagues
It’s all looking Dandy By JARROD POTTER “THERE’S only one team in Dandy!” The team song echoed proudly throughout Frank Holohan Reserve as Dandenong City captured a memorable 2-1 win in front of their home crowd. Dandenong City was staring down the barrel of a 0-1 defeat heading into the last handful of minutes against St Albans Saints. The Dandenong City faithful, sitting in the newly developed Dandenong City grandstand, had little to cheer about in the first 85 minutes and the match seemingly all went the Saints’ way after a 35th minute conversion by Brodie Patterson. Enter Dario Matkovic. The City boys had not lowered their guard throughout the time, but a swathe of failed opportunities and seemingly missed calls by the referees left it up to Matkovic and his forward-bound team mates in the dying minutes. The equaliser came in the 86th minute as Keegan Ziada lobbed a corner kick to the middle of the box, leaving Matkovic to head in the first City goal. The Dandenong City crowd didn’t have time to sit back down before the second City goal. Central defender Steven Topalovic kept a goal-line ball in, despite his team mates yelling to him to let it go out for a corner kick. Topalovic instead powered ahead, with mere inches between himself and the line. Gathering all his guile for one
SEABL - round 11
Keegan Ziada tracks down the ball in a strong showing on the left side. 122179 Picture: JARROD POTTER last push, Topalovic cleverly deceived three St Alban’s defenders to force himself through to the goals and flicked the ball to Matkovic. The pass was thumped into the back of the net, leaving the crowd to erupt in thunderous celebration. Some decent attempts at the other end from St Albans in the dying minutes weren’t converted as City claimed its fourth and arguably greatest victory of the NPL1 season.
City coach Ivan Duzel said the result was indicative of City’s capabilities in spite of their 10th placing on the NPL1 ladder. “We lost a lot of games timing like this - last minute and things like that,” Duzel said. “What we try to do is play the game on the floor with the passes and the quick moves. “This game gives us very, very good confidence for future games.”
“Very important, we play much better than what we’re showing and where we’re at on the ladder.” Dandenong City heads to Richmond SC on Friday night for its Round 13 clash. In other results, Springvale White Eagles kept the NPL1 wins coming with a 5-2 belting of Whittlesea Ranges while Dandenong Thunder was humbled at home 2-5 by Heidelberg United.
Gimme Fuel enough to win By JASON ADAMS GIMME Fuel is quickly becoming one of greyhound racing’s elite performers, after he claimed his fifth win in just over a month, last Thursday evening at Sandown Park. Gimme Fuel was sent to the boxes as the $2.10 TAB favourite from box two, however punters were worried early after he had a slight stumble as the lids flew open, he immediately balanced up and quickly mustered speed to settle second. The Andrea Dailly trained Jordan Allen lead the field for most of the journey, before Gimme Fuel unleashed a last gasp effort in the closing stages of the race leaving the judges to separate the two. It hasn’t always been easy going for Gimme Fuel, having put togeth-
Rangers invade and Spartans take cover
er some very inconsistent performances early on in his career. Trainer Kelly Bravo saying “He’s in a purple patch of form at the moment, a good run of box draws always helps the cause”. Gimme Fuel has never been a fast beginner out of the boxes, however a recent rise in distance has seemed to be the fix. “We put him over the 600m for a couple runs to see if he can find the front early and build some confidence, it seemed to have paid off, he has been beginning much better lately” said Bravo. Gimme Fuel wasn’t the only winner for the Bravo kennel last Thursday night, with impressive youngster Blurred Lines taking out heat one of the VBIS restricted win series. Jumping from box eight, Blurred
With just a bit more still in the tank, Gimme Fuel charged home to take his fifth victory. 122180 Lines sprang out to lead first time past the post, he then held a twolength gap to win from the fast fin-
ishing Lady Toy and Noah Rose. Blurred Lines has drawn box two in this Thursday night’s $14,290 final.
THE Brisbane swing paid off for Dandenong with a 99-79 win over the Spartans. Brisbane’s early push left the Rangers on the back-foot, trailing by three points at half-time, but from that point on the match belonged to the southern visitors. The interstate rampage of Tony Lewis (33 points, 15 rebounds) and Daequon Montreal (22 points, 8 rebounds) left Brisbane smashed apart. Dandenong’s dominant duo surged the Rangers ahead 53-30 after halftime to run out 20-point winners and leave the league wondering how to stop the pair. This has been the standout season in Lewis’ SEABL career - moving his average up to 24 points and 12 rebounds a game in 2014. Calvin Enge (12 points) and Brent Hobba (10 points, 8 rebounds) also had standout nights in the victory - which takes Dandenong to third in the SEABL East before its double-header against Knox and AlburyWodonga this weekend. The trip was much tougher for SEABL ladies’ coach of the month Larissa Anderson and her Rangers - downed 55-74 by Brisbane. Standing tall for her first double-double in Rangers colours for many seasons, Jacinta Kennedy (16 points, 10 rebounds) showed she is still a threatening inside force. Amelia Todhunter (10 points, 8 rebounds) and Tenaya Phillips (8 points, 5 rebounds) also impressed.
BIG V Division 2 - round 12 SHOWING their chops at the top of the ladder, Keysborough claimed an 84-66 battle against Maccabi. Sharing the points, Eric Miraflores (20 points), Nathaniel O’Hara (18 points) and Jackson Houpt (15 points, 8 rebounds) impressed en route to the Cougars’ ninth win of the year. The Cougars’ women pushed Chelsea Gulls throughout a 47-69 loss. Outscoring the Gulls in the last term will be a proud talking point for the newly anointed team as Lucinda Johnson (8 points, 11 rebounds) and Sarah Collins (7 points, 10 rebounds) led the charge. On Sunday as the Journal went to press however the Cougars’ women side had just taken a beating from Melbourne University Black Angels loosing 43-90. While the Keysborough men facing Pakenham went done to the wire loosing to Pakenham by one point only, the final score 81-80. Keysborough men face another doubleheader this weekend as it heads to Coburg on Saturday before driving down to Mornington on Sunday. The women head to Coburg on Saturday to aim for win number three in the Cougars’ inaugural Big V season.

SPORT TAC Cup - round 10
Stingrays lurk in muddy waters Jedward? no but a hair-raising leap none-the-less from Dandenong’s Caleb Gray in the Stingrays’ 25-point win over Gippsland. 122175
The hard yards were certainly put in by Gippsland’s Connor Ambler as he smothers Daniel Moloney’s kick. 122175 Pictures: JARROD POTTER
By JARROD POTTER WITH its sights on the top three, the wild weather didn’t faze the Dandenong Stingrays as they dispatched Gippsland Power by 25 points. On a day for the ducks, the TAC Cup side continued to show it won’t be limited by player unavailability during the national championships. The Stingrays roused the victory in spite of first choice players Jack Lonie, Daniel Capiron, Tom Lamb and Aaron Wilson
being away in Western Australia on Vic Country duties. Elliott Hunt was managed and rested as a minor groin tweak was not worth the ruckman risking on a soggy day. After two quick Gippsland goals, the Stingrays swam through the mud and rain to reclaim the lead. The counter-attack started with Dandenong’s forward trio - Taylor Joyce, Keegan Downie and Jayden Tomkins, with Tomkins stepping up to
show his credentials as a forward after playing most of the season as a wingman/half-forward. Joyce (4 goals) proved too strong on the lead and has been in fantastic form after kicking 12 goals in his last three matches as the primary Stingrays’ forward target. Downie (2) and Tomkins (2) excelled as foils for the classic-style full forward gameplay from Joyce while hard-nuts Alex Harnett and Sam Geurts terrified the opposition after
SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 8
Gritting their teeth for a win By JARROD POTTER DIVISION 2 THE trip up the Princes Highway reaped a 19-point win for Springvale Districts against Caulfield. Neither team had ascendency throughout the first twoand-a-half terms - as the lead flicked back-and-forth between the Bears and Demons. Jack McTaggart’s men gritted their teeth for one last assault to push ahead in the third term and hold onto the lead via goals to Leighton Ross (3 goals), Aidan Jolly (3), David Bramble (2) and Lance Baptist (2). Along with Chris McTaggart and Ben Laier, the goal kickers featured prominently in the best afield. Sitting in fourth - just above a logjam of five teams separated by a game or less Springvale Districts will look to improve its 4-3 record when
it hosts wooden spoon aspirants Moorabbin on Saturday.
DIVISION 3 WAYWARD bombing by Black Rock allowed the much more accurate Sandown Cobras to sneak away with a four-point victory at home. A horrifying zero-goals-seven was the sum of Black Rock’s first quarter while Sandown had fewer shots but solidly kicked away to a 19-point lead. The lead went back and forth, but Black Rock failed to capitalise on their chances, despite snaring a slight advantage at the final change. The Jets scrambled to kick six goals and 17 behinds in the clash, but their woeful scorecard wasn’t enough to hold off the Cobras. Clint Sheedy (4 goals) was pivotal on a wet and dreary day as he kicked the lion’s share of Sandown’s tally while Anthony LaRocca, Brad Hemphill and Daniel Macklin were best on ground. Lyndale can keep its head
held high after staying in the contest against rampaging premiership favourites Mount Waverley. In tough conditions at Barry Powell Reserve, the Pumas could not convert their chances with Dale Tormey (2 goals) the only multiple scorer in the 42-point loss. Taylor Irish and Alex Kerr also impressed. Dandenong threw away victory against a fast-finishing Endeavour Hills outfit on Saturday - conceding a third-term 21-point lead to end up 14 in arrears at the final siren. A seven-goal Endeavour Hills’ final quarter - led by a five-goal bag from Allan McPherson - let the Falcons soar while the Redlegs trudged to the finish with only a solitary fourth-quarter major. Matt Van Schajik (3 goals) was the only multiple scorer while James Farrugia, David Barrie and Stephen Young were best on a tough day at the office.
hammering tackle-after-tackle. Dandenong pushed away at every change as the small forwards and attacking midfielders got their share of the goal-bound action. Even with a trio of debutants, the Stingrays continued to out-power Gippsland at the contest and set up countless chances for the triangle offence. The team went berserk when the mullet-maestro Jake Di Pasquale kicked a goal on debut with everyone
rushing the field to congratulate him and give his good-luck follicles a rub. Gippsland didn’t lie down and played a lot better than its ladder ranking would suggest, as Bunyip’s Tom Papley stormed all across the field and slotted three goals to finish his match on a high note. Dandenong has earned a one-game lead over a chasing pack of five teams and will clash against seventh-placed North Ballarat this Sunday morning from 11.30am at Eureka Stadium.
Great highs to even greater lows EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 9 NOBLE Park’s greatest high knocking off their grand final nemesis Balwyn last weekend - was not capitalised upon. Instead the Bulls went backwards and were embarrassed off Seebeck Oval by Rowville in a 5.9 (39) to 17.14 (116) evisceration. Outgunned and dispossessed seemingly at Rowville’s will, Noble Park was left humbled by the hard hitting Hawks. Former Eastern Ranges/ Vic Metro defender Michael Bussey was thrust forward for Rowville to great effect as he jagged four goals as did Matt Robinson. Shayne Allan and Piva Wright kicked a pair apiece in a woeful outing for the Bulls as Allan, Dore, Marc Johnston and Will Kelly were the best of a sorry bunch. Falling to ninth in the EFL pecking order, Noble Park
will desperately need to turn around its form starting this week with East Ringwood at home.
CASEY CARDINIA FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 9 IN a season of bad losses, Keysborough’s 50-point loss to perennial wooden spooner Hampton Park will hurt the most. Charging ahead fourgoals-to-two at quarter time, it seemed as if Keysborough would take the game comfortably. No one told Hampton Park that belief though as the Redbacks stormed in front by 15 at the main break. Despite the best efforts of Tim Werner (4 goals), no other Burra hit the scoreboard hard enough to stop the rampaging Redbacks. Eight-goals-to-two after halftime highlighted Hampton Park’s dominance and Keysborough through in the towel in the last term to only score four behinds. Cameron Dalton,
Cory Hargreaves and Daniel Morland were Burra’s best. The loss leaves Keysborough equal-last, only split by percentage to Hampton Park. The Burras face Doveton away on Saturday.
VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION - round 9 THE weather didn’t faze St John’s as it rained goals all over Elsternwick’s defence. The JOCs rattled off 19 goals to claim a 100-point triumph away. With 10 charges getting among the goals, Anthony Brannan (3 goals) and Sam Walker (3) were the standout scorers. International representative Glenn Costas, along with Darryn O’Connor and springheel Manny Jakwot were the best afield in St John’s fourth win of the year. St John will hope to improve on sixth place when it hosts Monash Gryphons in the coming round.

Hybrid aggression By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE Lexus ES 300 was one of the pioneers of Japanese prestige brands when it arrived here in 1992. For a number of reasons, not least comparisons with the Toyota Camry on which it was based, it was always in the shadow of its big brother the LS series. As a variety of other models were added to the Lexus range the ES 300 continued to struggle and, in 2008, was dropped from the Australian line-up altogether. In late 2013 the ES line, as it is now called, returned this time reinvigorated by an all-new E 350 model with a V6 petrol engine of 3.5 litres compared to the previous 3.0. The big news was a petrol/electric hybrid version called the ES 300h. Each model comes in two specification levels, Luxury and Sports Luxury, the latter adding $9000 to the price of both ES 350 and E 300h. Unusually the two hybrids are $2000 cheaper than the equivalent V6s although some equipment has been cut from the hybrid with the aim of meeting Lexus’s target of a 50/50 sales split between V6 and hybrid models. The relatively bland looks of the original ES have been replaced by a much more aggressive style built around the signature Lexus arrowhead spindle grille.
Classy and refined, the new Lexus ES 300h offers outstanding value for money. Projector-style halogen headlamps and LED daytime running lights enhance the frontal appearance while the relatively conservative rear also gets LED lights, and twin chrome-tipped exhaust pipes. Apart from badging the only visible difference between the petrol and hybrid models is a small spoiler on the top of the boot of the ES 300h. The dashboard is almost a work of art with its flowing lines and combination of hand-stitched leather and wood inserts, that carry over to the steering wheel. The controls are well-placed and easy to use with the noticeable exception of the rectangular ‘mouse’
controller. It’s far too light in its movements, almost dangerously so if there isn’t a front seat passenger to operate it. The 3.5-litre V6 engine in the ES 350 peaks at 204 kW with maximum torque is 346 Nm at 4700 revs and is mated to a conventional sixspeed automatic transmission The ES 300h combines a 2.5-litre Atkinson Cycle four-cylinder petrol engine with nickel-metal-hydride batteries to provide 151 kW and 213 Nm at 4500 rpm. It combines with the extra efficiently of a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Official fuel consumption from
the ES 300h is rated at 5.5 litres per 100 kilometres. We used around 7.1 l/100 km, a fair bit higher, but still impressive for what is a relatively large car. Model range ES 300h Luxury 2.5-litre petrol/ electric hybrid four-door sedan: $63,000 (CVT automatic); ES 300h Sports Luxury 2.5-litre petrol/electric hybrid fourdoor sedan: $72,000 (CVT automatic); ES 350 Luxury 3.5-litre petrol four-door sedan: $65,000 (six-speed automatic); ES 350 Sports Luxury 3.5-litre petrol four-door sedan: $74,000 (six-speed automatic).
