Stand together THE JOURNAL LAUNCHES A MONTH-LONG CAMPAIGN TO HELP STOP FAMILY VIOLENCE… across Australia throughout October and November. “I actually took two students last year to this event that was running at a church,” Mr Andrews said. “They said ‘let’s do this next year at the school’.” Participants played on four tables set up in the Banksia Campus gym. “There was a midnight tournament and a 5am doubles tournament,” Mr Andrews said. Year 10 students Kamol Kin, 16, from Springvale, and Sovandara Tep, 16, from Hallam, broke the Ping Pong-A-Thon record for the most hits in a rally. They exchanged 9479 consecutive hits in two and a half hours – smashing the 4154 record. “We were getting really tired, feeling dizzy, our hands were shaking and we were cramping up,” Kamol said. “Even though it was about table tennis, which Sovandara and I really like playing, it was also about human trafficking and how women are exploited in other parts of the world. “I think that not many people are aware of it, especially young people. “For us to be educated about it is very important.” Kamol was proud to sign the pledge. “I feel like it’s a really good responsibility to uphold and everyone should sign the pledge,” he said. “It’s very simple and it’s so important.” See pages 6 and 7 for more White Ribbon coverage.

“I PLEDGE to man up.” Male students at Keysborough College signed this pledge during a unique approach to tackling violence against women – a Ping Pong-AThon. “I will endeavour to respect and honour girls in all areas of my life,” the pledge said. “To my mates I ask you to tell me when I get this wrong.” The Journal and its sister papers across the south-east are supporting this message throughout November with a White Ribbon campaign called Speak Out ... Challenge Family Violence. In each edition during the month the Journal will look at different ways to tackle family violence and profile people who are leading the way. The Journal will cover community events including The Great Debate: Is Family Violence a Crime? at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong on Thursday 20 November, and the second annual Walk Against Family Violence from Dandenong Market to Dandenong Civic Square on Friday 28 November. Keysborough College was the first school to host a Ping Pong-A-Thon event, on Friday 10 October. Male staff and students kept paddles and balls moving for 24 hours and raised almost $3000 for organisations working against human trafficking in South East Asia. Organiser and college chaplain Jeff Andrews showed a DVD about human trafficking and presented statistics on the issue and on family violence in Australia. “One aim we have here is to promote a healthy mindset toward women, not just overseas but in their own lives,” he said. The national fund-raiser started in 2011 and will be held at 25 venues

Factory arson attack

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FINALLY an outlet to buy Greek coffee has opened in central Dandenong - and now MP John Pandazopoulos’s 22-year reign as its local MP comes to an end. This is the new Dandenong that Mr Pandazopoulos said he had fought for, turning streetscapes of empty shops into a buzzing library, dining and civic square precinct. “Having places like this, people don’t have to go out of Dandenong to get coffee,” he told the Journal. “People come to Dandenong for these things now.” Mr Pandazopoulos said he’d had to burn bridges with his cabinet colleagues when he had to fight for funding in what remains a notionally safe Labor seat. But the push for the $280 million Revitalising Central Dandenong transformation was relatively easy, he said. It was an obvious needs-based argument to boost the market town that had failed to keep up with the shift to stand-alone shopping centres or the growth in white-collar jobs. “Without that government intervention, Dandenong would be dead. The free market wasn’t working in Dandenong. “Everyone pays their taxes. Why can’t people here get the same services, if not better, than other localities?” He entered politics determined to be a voice for a low-income, culturally diverse area. “There’s many struggle-town stories but many stories of hope and opportunity,” he said.

John Pandazopoulos in the heart of a transformed central Dandenong last week. 130049 “We’ve got one of the lowest tertiary-education levels but people have had the education of life. “They still want their voice to be heard, they want barriers to be removed.” Growing up in Doveton, Mr Pandazopoulos was a beneficiary of the late former PM Gough Whitlam’s free university education policy and of hard-working parents who “worked their butts off” for their kids. Perhaps surprisingly he is still recognised by many as a manager of former McDonald’s restaurants at the Booran Holden and Dandenong City sites - a job that taught him “the customer is always right” and the

need to “get the basics right”. His career included four ministerial portfolios - part of his brief was to correct cutbacks he’d witnessed while in opposition in the 1990s. Two of those portfolios - Multiculturalism and Tourism - coincided with some of his major passions. He said Melbourne’s reputation as a city that was friendly to a range of cultures was an example to the world. It helped attract untold economic benefits including more international tourists and foreign investment. He speaks with pride about starting the Docklands adventure, the NGV, the State Library’s domed

reading room and Myer Music Bowl developments, and putting the finishing touches to Melbourne Museum. It’s a list of concrete achievements that he felt were cut short when he was dumped from the front bench in 2006. At the time he blamed sabotage from his Left faction. “There’s a lot of things in the world that are not fair,” he said last week. “The good thing was I didn’t have to knife anybody to get the (portfolios) or suck up to people.” Mr Pandazopoulos said Dandenong now needed to keep positioning itself as Melbourne’s “second hub”, and to keep promoting the right types of buildings and jobs in the town’s vacant blocks - such as IT, multilingual call-centres and financial services. “The government needs to ensure it doesn’t move away from the reality that it’s the biggest commercial footprint outside the CBD.” Mr Pandazopoulos said he knew his time was up. He had served more than half of his 51-year life in public office, including a seven-year stint as a Berwick councillor. The Doveton boy has moved to a Southbank apartment and is now ready for the next phase which will involve community work - such as recognising the 80,000 Anzacs who served in Greece in the world wars. It may include working in corporate boardrooms. As a tip for the next MP to step into his Halpin Way office, he said: “Your public is your best test on what needs to be done.”

Land buying businessman WHAT’S IN A NAME? WHAT’S IN A NAME DELVES INTO THE FASCINATING STORIES AND PERSONALITIES BEHIND SOME OF THE CITY’S BEST-KNOWN STREET NAMES. THIS WEEK THE JOURNAL LOOKS AT KIDDS ROAD, NAMED IN HONOUR OF EARLY SETTLER ROBERT KIDD. KIDDS Road is one of the main thoroughfares which connects Dandenong and Doveton. Kidds Road starts at the point where Clow Street crosses the Dandenong Creek and intersects with Power Street

before continuing through to Doveton, ending at an intersection with Sheoak Street. The earliest reference to Robert Kidd, after whom the road is named, is an 1854 story in the Journal’s predecesor, the South Bourke and Mornington Journal. The paper reported that Mr Robert Kidd commenced business as a farrier and wheelwright in premises opposite the old market in Lonsdale Street. The article also noted that Kidd had built a cottage at the rear facing Thomas Street. Records show that Kidd purchased two blocks of 37 acres 3 roods and 39 acres 3 roods and 14 perches over the Dandenong Creek on the east side of the continuation of Clow Street at the first government sale of Dandenong township allotments in 1852. In 1870 Robert Kidd was still running his forge in Lonsdale Street and

his wife was running a cake shop three doors up. Sometime after 1870 Mr Kidd retired but in 1878 business was picking up in Dandenong and Kidd returned to his forge in the main street. The only other reference the Journal could find to Mr Kidd was a police

court notice in the South Bourke and Mornington Journal of Wednesday 14 January 1885. It appears Mr Kidd was owed money by one Oliver Kerr. The sum in dispute was £1 and 17 shillings and sixpence for goods supplied. The judge awarded Mr Kidd the

amount owed plus two shilling and sixpence costs. Robert Kidd died in December 1891. By that time he had left Dandenong and settled in Cliffton Hill. A funeral notice for Robert Kidd appeared in The Argus on 10 December 1891. It read: “The friends of the late Mr Robert Kidd, formerly of Dandenong, are most respectfully invited to follow his remains to their last resting place, the Melbourne General Cemetery. “The funeral will move from his last residence, Blackness-villa 411 Wellington-street, Clfiton Hill. “This day (Thursday December 10, 1891) at half past 3 o’clock precisely”.

LOOKING BACK 5 November 1914 THE WAR Patriotic news The War and Motors WHEN the great European war is over, and its history can be written in adequate fashion, the writer will be surprised if it is not referred to as a motoring campaign, and this withstanding all that we read of the marching of troops in massed millions. It is true enough that their pace of a man’s walk cannot be increased, but what differentiates this war from all its predecessors is that the walking has been effectual, and that there has been the minimum of waste of time either in the flowing of false scents or of stand-

ing idle while awaiting the reports of intelligence bureaux. Scouting in the present field of operation is as different from that of the Franco-German war of 44 years ago as could well be imagined, what with motor cars fitted with wireless installations, or flying from outpost to base to say nothing of the invaluable services of aeroplanes. Even Paris itself is in touch with the troops at the front by motor car. The outstanding feature of the war so far has been the dramatic work of the armoured cars, and one can conceive the time when they will almost entirely supersede the use of cavalry for scouting purposes. Lastly there are motor ambu-

Split decision By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong’s mayoral race remains a tight threeway fight that could even be decided by pulling a name out of the hat. Councillors Peter Brown, Youhorn Chea and Sean O’Reilly - all members of the Labor Party - will be seeking to sway their colleagues in the remaining days ahead of Thursday’s statutory meeting to replace the current mayor Jim Memeti. By Cr Brown’s reckoning, the numbers could be split 4-4-3. “It’s impossible to call at this stage," he said. “There’s a distinct possibil-

ity that it will be deadlocked and will be decided by pulling a name out of a hat. “It’s never been so split between three members of the same political party.” Cr Brown said the unpredictability was heightened by the possible absence of up to two councillors on Thursday. Usually the result would be indicated at a “dress rehearsal” vote in a closed meeting a week ahead. However that pre-vote has been postponed until Wednesday at the request of Cr Chea, who has been overseas and couldn’t be contacted last week. Cr O’Reilly said he expected a resolution by Wednesday, al-

though it was a “possibility” that the title could be contested at the public meeting on the following night. “I don’t think the majority of councillors will want to see that.” Non-ALP aligned councillor John Kelly last week virtually ruled himself out as a “battling” chance. “I’m the wrong (political) flavour,” he said. Check the Journal website at dandenong.starcommunity. com.au Friday morning or follow the Journal’s Facebook page for a full report on who is Greater Dandenong’s new mayor.

MAN UP...STOP FAMILY VIOLENCE

Shaken but not deterred By BRIDGET SCOTT THE glamour of the occasion couldn’t hide the dark reality that is family violence when Windermere hosted an awareness-raising cocktail party on 23 October. In the lead-up to November’s White Ribbon campaign, the Casey-based organisation brought together about 50 women for its inaugural Sip in Style function at Mon Bijou Penthouse in Flinders Lane. The evening was designed to highlight the services offered by Windermere, which is just one of the Casey organisations that are on the front line of helping families afflicted by family violence. The guest speakers were two women with very different life experiences: international model and jewellery designer Samantha Wills and domestic violence survivor Carla Gagliardi. Ms Gagliardi lost her home and her job after her former fiance assaulted her and left her hospitalised. Ms Gagliardi hailed Windermere as a “shining light” in her life after her own traumatic experience with domestic violence. “Imagine the sanctuary where you lived and were once happy is gone,” she said.

“Your home is tainted with horror and it is too distressful to return.” She said her and her son’s life changed forever on the night her former fiance brutally assaulted her. After the attack Ms Gagliardi lost her home and her job as she spent months recovering in hospital. Her son was also subjected to the ordeal and will be presented with a bravery award later this year for dialling triple zero after his mother was beaten - effectively saving her life. With no family and friends nearby at the time she wondered what would become of her and her son. “We were, basically, homeless,” she said. “That’s when the work of Windermere came in.” Windermere worked with Ms Gagliardi and allowed her to live in its ‘safe house’ until she got back on her feet. “Windermere provided us with a furnished house, temporary but stable enough to give me time,” she said. “It had simple things such as a fridge, couch, washing machine and, most importantly, a bed - that was the big one.” Ms Gagliardi said she “does not know what would have become of my son and I” if it was not for Windermere. “They turned what could

Windermere chief executive officer Lynette Buoy, international model and jewellery designer Samantha Wills and past Windermere client Carla Gagliardi. Samantha and Carla were guest speakers at Windermere’s Sip in Style. 129878 have become an absolute nightmare into a positive way forward,” she said. An emotional Lynette Buoy, chief executive officer of Windermere, thanked Ms Gagliardi for sharing her story and marvelled at her progress. “This is an example of why we do these sorts of things,” she

said. “To help people when they need it.” Ms Gagliardi and her son are now on the path to a new life thanks to Windermere’s help and support. Another speaker, Samantha Wills, shared her story of suc-

cess building an international jewellery design business. Ms Wills took her jewellery from humble beginnings at a Sunday market to now adorning the likes of A-list celebrities Drew Barrymore, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Ms Wills said that as a young adult growing up in Port

Macquarie “she didn’t fathom that you could make a living out of doing something creative”. As her business grew she found herself hosting jewellery parties at friends’ homes several nights a week. She said that after the parties she would visit neighbours to and see if they wanted to purchase her home-made creations - cash only. After her name become more widely known, Ms Wills quit her retail job and made it her mission to “create a brand that had a story to tell”. Ms Wills said she was a strong advocate for women’s issues and donated several pieces of jewellery as raffle prizes. Lynette Buoy said family violence statistics were startling. “One person dies every week across Australia as a result of family violence,” she said. “We feel this is just too much.” She spoke about a range of Windermere’s early intervention programs and other services available to the victims of domestic violence. “We are working in schools around gender equity, challenging stereotypes, which happen as a result of being around family violence,” she said. “We also support kids, provide counselling and more.”

MAN UP...STOP FAMILY VIOLENCE

United against the pain By GROUP EDITOR GARRY HOWE “I SWEAR never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women. This is my oath.” A growing number of men across Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs are signing up to this pledge. Over the past year more than 70 male community leaders have been educated on the scourge of family violence under the banner of the Challenge Family Violence program with a view to encouraging behavioral change across their spheres of influence. It is a fact that across Australia one woman dies at the hand of her partner every week - and one in three women will be a victim of family violence in their lifetime. Many don’t feel safe in their own home. Sadly, the region encompassing the City of Greater Dandenong, the City of Casey and Shire of Cardinia is considered a hotbed for this behaviour. There are at least 25 police officers dedicated solely to supporting victims of family violence and targeting offenders. In the past, family violence has been largely brushed off by blokes as a women’s issue, or an issue for police to deal with. Wrong! It’s a responsibility that men have to accept - and those 70-plus community leaders have put their hand up to do just that. They now all have action plans aimed at bridging the gender gap in our society.

Gender inequality is at the heart of the problem. Why is it that some laud ambition in men, yet frown upon that same trait in women? Those same people may applaud a man for being forthright and condemn a woman with the same attitude as being bossy. We can all play our part to break down this attitude. It may be as simple as steering a conversation away from a sexist path, or not laughing at a joke that crosses the bounds. As part of the campaign, Star News Group papers throughout the southeast will devote considerable time and space to the challenging the issue of family violence. We will focus on a lot of good work being done within the Challenge Family Violence program and initiatives to come out of it. The white ribbon symbol - and more importantly the messages it brings - are becoming more common in such places as sporting clubs, businesses and places of worship. Get on board and help ensure the message is heard loud and clear - espcially in homes, where it’s needed most. For help or support regarding family violence call the 24-hour Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service Victoria (WDVCS) on 1800 015 188 or visit www.asksomeone.org.au. Call triple zero if in immediate danger. * Star’s Group Editor Garry Howe was one of the community leaders to participate in the Challenge Family Violence program.

Forum opens up the debate THE Great Debate: Is Family Violence a Crime? is designed to get people talking. Organiser Linda Watson, based at support service WAYSS in Dandenong, said the free event at the Drum Theatre on 20 November aimed to bring family violence to the foreground. “But in a format that was a little bit different to what was traditionally done,” she said. “Sometimes when people hear the same thing they stop hearing it.”

At the Outer South Peninsula Integrated Family Violence Partnership event debaters will discuss what constitutes family violence and how the law and the community answers the question ‘is family violence a crime?’. Debaters will include Magistrate Pauline Spencer, Southern Metropolitan Region Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius, Women with Disabilities Victoria CEO Keran Howe, inTouch Multicultural Centre CEO Maya Avidibegovic, Federation

of Community Legal Centres senior policy advisor Dr Chris Atmore and Monash University law professor Adrian Evans. Domestic Violence Victoria CEO Fiona McCormack will provide closing remarks. The event will run from 1pm to 3pm, followed by a light afternoon tea. Bookings are essential on 8571 1666. - CASEY NEILL

IMMIGRATION and Border Protection Minister Scott Morrison has blamed opposition parties for the hundreds of asylum seekers living without work rights in Greater Dandenong. “If not for Labor and the Greens recklessly voting against Temporary Protection Visas, asylum seekers - as part of Labor’s legacy caseload of illegal boat arrivals assessed as being owed protection could have been living in the community with work rights and parity of benefits by now,” he said.

Mr Morrison defended the levels of support for soaring numbers of asylum seekers in Greater Dandenong - more than 2700 according to official statistics. The rising demand has prompted Greater Dandenong council to lead a multi-council push for more federal support for on-the-ground services. Mr Morrison said there were “numerous” federallyfunded programs to reduce the burden on states, local governments and non-government organisations to support “illegal maritime arrivals” in the community. He said the programs pro-

vided “suitable” support and care on a needs basis, such as income support, casework services and help finding sustainable accommodation. Asylum seekers on bridging visas had access to Medicare services, he said. Greater Dandenong councillor Roz Blades said she didn’t want to politicise the campaign by commenting on Mr Morrision’s remarks. She said she was confident that councils would get a hearing from the Federal Government because “my dialogue with them won’t be a political dialogue but a needs-based dialogue.”

BUDDING green thumbs are gaining more than gardening skills at Dandenong’s Pop-Up Park. The Red Cross is offering gardening classes to new arrivals with support from Mission Australia, Bunnings, City of Greater Dandenong and the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship (OMAC). Red Cross stakeholder and volunteer engagement team leader Kim Hutchinson said most participants were asylum seekers. “It helps them get an understanding about gardening in Australia, different conditions and things that work and grow here,” she said. Two of the 12 plots in the garden will remain demonstration spaces for future courses, while the others will be open to class graduates. “They can come back on a regular basis to sustain those,” Ms Hutchinson said. “They’ll be communal. All the produce will be shared.” She said participants were gaining gardening knowledge, improving their access to healthy food, practising their English skills and meeting new people. “A lot of the participants actually know a lot more about gardening than what we do,” she said. “Some people have horti-

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… PARKING ticket machines could be on their way to Springvale. But City of Greater Dandenong planning, design and amenity director Jody Bosman said there’d be extensive consultation before any decision was made in March/April next year. He told last Monday’s council meeting that inspectors manually checked existing restricted parking in Springvale and ticket machines would enable automated checking. Mr Bosman said the plan aimed to increase parking space turnover rather than raise revenue. Cr John Kelly asked the pressing question on many motorists' minds. “I’ve got a car full of five cent bits - will it take five cent bits?” Mr Bosman was unable to confirm, but assured Cr Kelly that the new machines used the latest technology. Would ticket machines in Springvale help you get a parking spot? Email journal@ starnewsgroup.com.au or like www.facebook. com/DandenongJournal.

ing core retail hours, seven days a week. “A few months ago it was looking quite dire,” Councillor Sean O’Reilly said. “We had quite a few lift breakdowns. It looks like it should be all smooth sailing from here.” The council will continue to monitor the lifts. COUNCILLOR Peter Brown used an interesting unit of measure during discussions about a proposed development at last week’s council meeting. “That’s two Sean O’Reillys lying down in one direction...” he said.

DANDENONG disability support service Wallara is due to appear on the small screen next week. A 30-minute special focusing on supported employees and Newskills training and development courses will be broadcast on Channel 31 at 6.30pm on Monday 10 November. THERE’S a story doing the rounds at Palm Plaza about a man who choked on a chiko roll. Or more accurately, the inebriated diner was choking on the paper packaging that he greedily scoffed down with its contents. During the medical emergency, one of his worse-for-wear comrades suggested cutting the victim’s throat to extract the wrapping. Fortunately more orthodox medical treatment was safely administered. IT LOOKS like the performance of Springvale's troubled Number 8 Car Park lifts is on the up. A report to last week’s council meeting said the rejuvenated elevators in Balmoral Avenue were now working 99 per cent of the time dur-

Advertorial

PRINCIPAL OF YELLOW BRICK ROAD DANDENONG DELWYN RAYNER, EACH WEEK SHARES A COLUMN ON WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL MATTERS FOR THE JOURNAL.

Cutting the Cards Here’s a few tips: • Fees: always check the annual fees on a credit card, and go for a low- or zero-fee option. Some fees are high enough to wipe out the value of a cash-back or zero-interest period; • Plan: use a zero-interest period to pay off the card debt; this should include not using the card and regular deposits into the card account. If you use a cash-back card, have the cash paid into your credit card account; • Cash advance: as a first rule on any credit card, avoid making cash draw-downs on it – this is a very expensive way to access cash and the fees capitalise into your credit card debt; • Low interest: when the zero-interest period finishes on a card, it reverts to the full rate. So if you’re unlikely to commit to a plan that eradicates the debt, at least find a low-interest card. • No Credit Card: the cheapest option of all. With a proper plan and a budget for your household income, you actually don’t need a credit card. Anyone can write a budget. If you must have a credit card, at least clear your card balance every month. This is good time to have a strategy for debt, and especially expensive debt such as credit cards. It’s likely that our interest rates will start rising in 2015 and you don’t want to be stranded with high card balances and high interest rates. So have a look at some of these credit card offers, and then make a plan. Good Luck. If you would like to discuss debt consolidation please ring Yellow Brick Road Dandenong Branch on the contact numbers below.

Be seen green By CASEY NEILL A SEARCH for Greater Dandenong’s environmental heroes is now on. The council is calling for nominations for its new Greater Dandenong Sustainability Awards which recognise schools, students and families helping to make the municipality’s environment more sustainable. Mayor Jim Memeti said there were three award categories - sustainable schools, sustainable students and sustainable home and garden. “It may be your neighbour with a home full of sustainable gadgets, a tasty home vegetable garden and water-smart technology,” Cr Memeti said. “We’re also looking for local schools teaching environmental principles and putting them into practice around the school.

“And school students who speak out for the environment or have worked on an impressive environmental project.” Athol Road Primary School in Springvale South has impressive green credentials. Its student environmental leaders have been tasked with taking care of the school grounds. The Animal Army maintains feed and water for the animals in the environmental studies room and cleans animal enclosures, while Garden Gurus take care of weeding, watering, raking, sweeping, pruning and planting. Wetland Warriors monitor water levels and health, and remove rubbish and weeds, and Water and Energy Watchers promote water and energy conservation and monitor water and energy use around the school. Waste Winners promote

waste reduction ideas, co-ordinate composting and worm farm projects, host rubbish-free lunch days, and monitor and audit the rubbish that the schools generates. The students also report to their peers about their areas and share what they learn. Greater Dandenong Sustainability Awards prizes include vouchers for Bunnings, Gardenworld, Bicycle Superstore and Dandenong Plaza, myki cards and school incursions. Winners will be announced at the Family Sustainability Festival on Sunday 22 March at the Dandenong Market, and will feature in a video promoting their efforts. Nominate at www.greaterdandenong.com or pick up an entry form at a library or council customer service centre by Friday 5 December at 5pm.

With all the recent changes to interest rates, one of the most common forms of debt – credit cards – have largely stayed the same. Interest rates on mortgages started falling from October 2011. But during the same period credit card rates remained in the high teens. This has meant a change in consumer credit behaviour: the Reserve Bank says the growth in the number of credit card accounts fell to 0.6 per cent in the year to April 2014, the lowest growth on record. So credit card issuers are now competing, making it a good time for households to take control of credit card debt. One inducement is the ‘cash back’, where the lender either gives you $100 for taking their card, or they credit you with $10 for every $1000 spent on the card. The other way to catch our attention is the zerointerest period on a new card. Most of the big banks are currently offering zero-interest periods of more than a year on new cards and/or balance transfers. On a credit card debt of $10,000 the difference between paying the standard interest rate and a zero rate, over a year, is around $1800. Australians have been using low mortgage rates to get ahead of their home loan repayment schedules, boost their equity and speed their ownership of a hard asset. Many Australians have seen this as an opportunity. There’s now an equally good opportunity to speed the repayment of expensive credit card debt.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THE dunny debacle article (Dunny Debacle, Journal, 20 October) does not explain if it is a breach of building code or simply a cosmetic design error. However, with more than 150 years of professional expertise in the building/planning department, it is a major not minor error as quoted by Cr John Kelly (a professional bathroom registered builder). It is to be hoped that CEO John Bennie accepts the KPO (key performance outcome) of his staff as unacceptable and avoids spending about $250,000 of ratepayers’ money on rectification work just to give himself a private crapper. Perhaps Mark Doubleday may choose to provide Journal readers with the actual costs to correct the ‘build then amend’ policy he advocates for the: 1. not so new council depot, 2. the Dandenong redevelopment, 3. new council chambers for starters. This, of course, would need to include items listed under ongoing ‘maintenance development’ programs. Thank you councillor Maria Sampey for practising your transparency pledge to the ratepayers. Shame on all councillors who fail to comply! David Crutchfield, via web.

Humanitarian housing A HUMANITARIAN crisis is brewing in Dandenong, according to Councillor Roz Blades. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection figures reveal a surge in seekers of refuge in Dandenong from 310 in 2012 to 2730 in 2014, even though illegal entry has been curtailed. Councillor Mathew Kirwan suggests that asylum seekers were attracted to Dandenong, perhaps due to the welcoming nature of this society. Many Christian churches in the periphery of Dandenong for Doveton, Endeavour Hills and Springvale are extending their social and Christian magnanimity through various forms of assistance. However, there comes a point beyond which, according to the president of the Benevolent Society Joe Rechichi, “the dollar does not go any further, whilst the cost of living spirals upwards”. Increased awareness of the state and federal

legislators who live in these areas is necessary before the issue bursts its seams. I urge the contenders in the forthcoming state elections for Narre Warren North, Dandenong and Springvale to take into consideration the socio-economic needs of asylum seekers living in their domain. This humanitarian issue needs to be addressed posthaste. Throwing money as a Band-Aid will not see the problem go away. Housing, employment, education are the interlocked socio economic necessities and ought to be addressed by the federal legislators representing this vast region of the south east, largely neglected by representatives who “rest on their laurels”. Wake up and smell the roses gentlemen and ladies who represent us at the federal and state legislatures. Pre-selection processes which guarantee their re-election should be changed so that their complacency will be shaken to motivate them into activity on behalf of the electorate they represent because some socio-economic issues seem to be endemic. Milroy Martyn, Endeavour Hills.

In the evening peak, quite often the trains coming from Pakenham are stuck waiting outside Dandenong for trains that are running late, usually trains coming from Cranbourne. This throws out the commuters that are needing to catch buses, as sometimes a difference of five minutes can be the difference between catching a bus and waiting for the next one. As the Dandenong - Pakenham - Cranbourne rail corridor continues to grow and expands its rail services one thing is certain, Dandenong station will need to be upgraded. Amberlie Seidl, Noble Park North.

Upgrade platform

To the police and emergency services crews who were out in the rain directing traffic and clearing debris last Monday.

DANDENONG station has three platforms. With the new timetable that was recently introduced, the station is busier than ever. Dandenong is a major travel hub with trains running to the city on average every five minutes or so between 6.50am and 8am. The question is, with all this increased traffic through the station, why is there not a fourth platform? Dandenong handles trains going to Cranbourne and Pakenham. Stations from Caulfield onwards towards the city all have four platforms, why not Dandenong? Another problem with the station layout is if you have to change platform you have to waste time touching your Myki on and off. Also getting from platform one or two to the bus stops in less than a minute is next to impossible. I have lost track of the times I have been walking towards the bus stop, coming from platform two, to see the bus pull out and leave.

IN REGARDS to the toilet debacle at the $65 million civic centre, let them live with it. Someone must have signed off when the building plans were presented to the council. It looks to me like a monumental mismanagement! The same happened again with the roll-out of the new bins. We had hardly used them when council employees or contractors came around to change the brand new lids because they were too flimsy. What a waste of taxpayers’ money! Who was responsible for the bin design and specifications? No wonder rates keep rising! Werner Lieberwirth, via email.

YOU CAN BRING YOUR FAMILY ALONG AND HAVE A DAY OUT WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK TOO MUCH…

THE Journal has reported on the iconic Dandenong Show since its inception in 1871. Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Lynne Ferris said a committee of dedicated volunteers ran the not-for-profit group. “Generations of families from the area have enjoyed the show,” she said. “We have supported and been supported by the businesses, community groups, services clubs, schools, hospital, Scouts, Victorian Showmen’s

THE JOURNAL’S CASEY NEILL SPOKE WITH DANDENONG SHOW PRESIDENT RICKY FERRIS IN THE LEAD-UP TO THIS YEAR’S EVENT. RICKY Ferris embodies this year’s Dandenong Show theme, Farming Families. The Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society president’s connection with the event dates back 60 years. His grandfather Graham Allan, who passed away eight years ago, joined the committee when he bought a cattle stud in Keysborough. Graham’s wife Phyl was a steward in the exhibition pavilion for many years and helped wherever else she could. Their daughter Lynne Ferris and her husband Jim – Ricky’s parents – are on the committee. “It’s very much a family affair,” Lynne said. “My dad was so passionate about whatever he did. Poor Jim was very quickly given a job! “Dad brought Ricky into the fold. Everywhere my dad went, Ricky went. “From a very young age, Ricky was at every working bee. “He used to bring the chooks up. He entered the art and craft exhibits. “He was the gumboot throw champion.” Lynne said Ricky was still a child

when other show committee members saw his potential. “Quite a few of the older chaps took him under his wing,” she said. “They elected him to the committee in 2001. He was 14. “He’s been on the committee 13 years doing his apprenticeship. “He’s been chairman of the sale ring. He’s been chairman of the cattle as well, I think. “He was one of the instigators of the youth committee and getting young people involved in the show. “That resulted in us having about eight young people that are actually now members of our committee.” This year he was named committee president. “I’m very proud of Ricky and the way he’s maturing and taking on the role,” Lynne said. “It’s a big role. We have a big committee and he’s quite young to be holding such a responsible position, I think. “He’s well-regarded. “He’s done the hard yards, he’s learnt how to be a committee man and he’s learnt most sections of the show.

“He understands how the whole show runs.” And the family connection to the show doesn’t end there. Ricky married cattle chairman Melissa in April last year. “Melissa’s family has run Jersey cattle forever, since the 1800s, and they’ve always been exhibitors here as well,” Lynne said. “As kids they were always around the cattle together. “A couple of years ago Ricky got serious and they started going out together.” The couple is expecting a baby in April. “It will be a show baby,” Lynne said. Ricky agreed. “That’s another generation into the show world,” he said. “One of our close friends also had a baby. He’s a year and a half old, he comes to meetings. “Everyone who babysits him is on the committee as well. “Once he starts walking around I bet he’ll be just as involved as any of us. “It just becomes a way of life. “We’re not really a team – we’re more like a family.” Ricky grew up in Keysborough, where the family farm switched from dairy to beef when he was about six years old. “I helped on the farm when I could un-

til I was 16 years old, then as my grandfather became ill I managed the farm, doing carpentry, fencing, plumbing, feeding out,” he said. The family sold the farm about seven years ago. “We couldn’t live off the farm’s income,” he said. “We were on there 100 years before we had to sell it. Now I think it’s industrial. “It’s always a bit sad to drive through Keysborough.” He and Melissa now live in Drouin. The qualified cabinet maker worked as an electrician and is now installing acrylic tennis and basketball courts while chasing farm work. “I want to work in beef – that’s what I enjoy a bit more,” he said. “I don’t mind dairy work. “In Drouin it’s very hard to find beef work, because farms are a lot smaller there. “The way the market is at the moment, cows don’t make what they should be making. “They can’t afford to pay staff to run the farm so they just do it themselves.” Unsurprisingly, the animals are his favourite part of the Dandenong Show. “They best thing I love is the little kids’ faces lighting up when they see something

they’ve never seen before,” he said. “It’s just magical. “That’s why we put on the show, to show people our way of life. “People in Dandenong might not necessarily be able to see them on a day to day basis. “It’s amazing to see little kids coming up to see a cow. “Bringing that experience to them, it gives you a reason to do this. “All we can do is urge families to bring their kids along. “Without the patrons we can’t put on a show. “We need money through the gate to put it on the next year.” The show has held down its gate fees this year despite rising costs. “We’re probably going to have a bit of a loss this year,” he said. And it’s continuing to offer free activities like guessing the weight of a cow, a gumboot throw, and demonstrations. Ricky said it was a cheaper option than the Royal Melbourne Agricultural Show. “We’re a bit smaller but there are the same things,” he said. “It’s a bit more family-oriented, too. It’s a family show. “You can bring your family along and have a day out without breaking the bank too much.”

AGENT'S CHOICE

NOBLE PARK

Here is a home that offers the classic charm of high ceilings and ornate cornices, French doors from the lounge to a wide balcony that in turn offers views across the suburb. Originally built by the vendor to last a lifetime, this family home offers light filled open plan living. The three bedrooms and single bathroom may be closed off from the living area to provide privacy when required. Its exceptional lot width allows the benefit of an extra wide carport at the side of the home providing good access to the rear garden of this 630 square metre block at the top of Gell Court. This elevated position makes it ideal to extend upwards to capture all the views toward Mornington and the bay. The rear yard has a number of bountiful fruit trees to provide the family with fresh fruit plus a good sized two-room bungalow that could be converted to a studio or office for those working from home. There is also a brick garden shed complete with toilet. The greenery and gentle slope of Gell Court provides a serenity that is not often associated with a home that is within walking distance of trains, buses, schools, shopping and has easy access to EastLink, making it an ideal location for today's family.

NEW HOM ES & LAND

WIDE OPEN COLONIAL SPACES THE magnificent Homestead pays homage to Australia’s colonial past with its wide verandahs, impressive façade and spacious family living. The Homestead is an innovative new offering from Red Bluff Homes, designed specifically for buyers with acreage or a farmlet on which they want to build their dream home. The house has been designed to make the most of rural views. The living areas, including the rumpus room, family room, meals and kitchen areas are all positioned at the front of the home. Rows of tall windows running the entire length of the home are designed to capture the surrounding countryside and, if the home is orientated to the north, the winter sunlight. Buyers have a choice of four facades at no extra cost. The kitchen and meals areas have long been the heart of country homes and The Homestead is no exception. The spacious kitchen has a huge walk-in pantry and is centrally located to the open-plan meals and family areas.

WALK TO THE PARK Lots between 336m2 and 584m2 . Walking distance from central park and minutes from local primary and secondary schools, proposed Town Centre and train station. Limited park-side opportunity.

CALL 0487 888 038 (Greg Rankin) Sat-Wed, 12pm-5pm VISIT parkcentralestate.com.au 155 Rix Rd, Officer (MEL. REF: 214, D5) 1160879-KC45-14

The Homestead is cleverly designed to separate the casual family living areas from the parents’ retreat. Busy parents can retire to their own oasis, complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite which is tucked away at the opposite end of the home to bedrooms two and three. The flexibility of the design means the separate formal dining room can be incorporated into the master bedroom creating an even more generously proportioned parents’ retreat. The design also offers flexibility when it comes to the configuration of the bathroom, toilet and storage space at the family living end of the home, with buyers offered four options from which to choose. Outside, the fantastic return verandah harks back to the grand colonial country homes that once dotted Australia’s farming districts. The Homestead, which measures 25.5 metres by 12 metres including verandah, starts at $197,500 on the owner’s land. For more details and a list of unique inclusions contact Red Bluff Homes on 9709 0400.

ENZO RAIMONDO

CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

KEEP AN EYE ON THE MEDIANS Home ownership is often called the great Australian dream and with more than two thirds of the nation owning their own home, it’s no surprise that Australians have a huge interest in all things propertyrelated. Owners want to know what their home is worth, is its value increasing and where is the biggest capital growth? One measure of house prices commonly quoted is median prices. It’s easy to assume that this is the same as the average price, but the two are different. The median price is the middle price in a list of sales.

For instance, in a list of 11 prices, the sixth price would be the median. If there is a list with an even number of prices, the middle two would be averaged to obtain the median. A bigger list of prices provides more data for reaching a median value. Every three months when REIV analysts calculate the median house price for areas across Victoria - which takes in about 200 regional shires and townships they also note which regions had fewer than 50 sales in the quarter. The latest median prices for the quarter ended 30 September are

now available region by region on the REIV website. This information is a useful starting point when buying or selling. Medians are based on the sales data reported to REIV from real estate agents. They can be used to compare prices between different townships and suburbs in regional centres and comparisons over a year or more can show whether prices in an area are rising, stable or falling. The median price is a tool for house hunting, not valuation. Factors such as a home’s quality, its location and proximity to roads, transport and vital services will determine its precise worth.

Local factors such as employment opportunities within the region will also have an influence. Median prices are less affected by the highs and lows of sales than average prices. However an exceptional quarter, with lots of high sales, for example, can impact on a median figure. But for those looking to keep a property for a number of years, areas with negative median price growth in the September quarter may still prove to be an excellent long-term investment. The main tip is to keep an eye on the medians - look out for trends in areas, towns and regions before securing your next home.

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.

WALLARA’S annual golf day has raised $50,000 for its Wish Foundation. The event, which was held at Keysborough Golf Club on 24 October, will help the disability support service provide one-off grants for special equipment or experiences to improve their quality of life. More than 500 people attended Wallara’s annual concert at the Frankston Arts Centre on 19 October. The event celebrated people with different abilities and included a performance from Wallara ambassador Emmanuel Kelly and the Wallara-Auslan Sing and Sign Choir. Wallara partnered with Cranbourne Secondary College students in a Crewalla Dance Collaboration performance. “The students, as part of their VCE curriculum, have to choreograph a dance routine that includes 12 of our people

Cup Day cops give drink drivers a run DRINK drivers will be in the sights of Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol officers on Melbourne Cup Day. Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said his team would have

as many cars as possible out on Tuesday afternoon. “It’s a high alcohol risk time as far as the roads are concerned,” he said. “Anybody deciding to get

TRADE Tools, based at Dandenong, knows tools - it should, its been selling a huge range of tools and equipment for trades and business for 27 years. Business director and founder Greg Ford said the company’s 27-year-old slogan ‘Serious tools, seriously discounted’ encapsulated the business perfectly. “We have 15 huge stores nationally in which we carry every major brand worth having including our own extensive range of exclusive industrial lines,” Greg said. “We have the broad philosophy of always attempting to be the best industrial tool company anywhere in Australia! “The bulk of our profits have always been reinvested back into our business to the extent that we have never used any loan or overdraft facilities of any sort, plus we own outright most of our store buildings and infrastructure. “This very hard-won low overhead structure reflects back in us being able to attract, afford and keep the best professional staff in our field while still staying famously competitive and innovative. “We are the absolute oppo-

It is my absolute privilege to introduce myself to you as Maranatha Christian School’s new Principal and CEO. Founded in 1970, Maranatha Christian School is the longest serving Christian school in Victoria, built on the foundations of discipleship, endurance, integrity, excellence and community service. I come to Maranatha with 30 years of experience as an educator across several countries, committed to academic excellence and pastoral care, inspiring students to become the best they can be both as lifelong learners and global citizens. Maranatha’s dedication to Christ-centered learning and the partnership between home and church is a vision close to my heart, and one I will seek to uphold as we inspire our students to develop and use their God-given gifts and talents to the best of their ability. It is a journey I look forward to taking with the school’s many educators, students and parents, as we walk this path together to achieve our utmost for his glory.

My name is Andrew Walsh and I am proud to be the Principal of St John’s Regional College Dandenong. I have been involved in education for over 30 years as an educator and leader and I have been at St John’s for the past 6 years. St John’s excites me as it is a vibrant, multi-cultural, co-educational learning community. It is a safe, happy and challenging environment where all students can ‘find their place’. All students at St John’s have the opportunity to develop and grow into mature young men and women, together, - developing the skills that will be essential in their rapidly changing world. Academic pathways are very important at St John’s, but just as important are pathways for students with interests in the Arts, or Technology, or who have a sporting passion, or who have different learning styles e.g. applied learning. However, each student’s education will be incomplete if they have not acquired a sense of human dignity, an appreciation of life, the knowledge of how to use their limited time wisely, and a determination to leave the world a better place for having been in it. St John’s as a co-educational Catholic College aspires to live and teach the principles, the ethics, the resilience, compassion, forgiveness and love inherent in a Christian Faith tradition.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Needs based is the solution By CASEY NEILL THE Shotton Group is breaking ground, spending $2.5 million on machines which have never before been used in the southern hemisphere. The Journal toured the Dandenong South manufacturing plant last Wednesday, 29 October, with Technology Minister Gordon Rich-Phillips and Industry Capability Network (ICN) staff. Managing director Lloyd Shotton’s father Roy Martin Shotton started the sheetmetal business in Braeside in 1977. “He passed away in 1999 and left me the business,” Lloyd said. “I had no idea what I was doing. I decided to grow the business.” And grow it he has - from a $2 million business to $16.5 million. He realised that work going offshore to low-cost regions was a threat to Shotton, so he set the company up to meet customer needs from the beginning to the end of a project. “We tailor what we do to exactly what customers need,” he said. “We tell everyone we’re their solution.” Shotton thrives on intricate, highaccuracy tasks and small-run work. “It’s all about fast turnaround,” he said. “The biggest part of our business for the last 12 years has been biomedical.”

Shotton Group managing director Lloyd Shotton with the company’s new equipment. This includes body storage and transportation devices for mortuaries, science laboratories and universities. Shotton also makes food trolleys for jails, heating and cooling systems and anti-tamper screws. “We stayed away from cars,” Lloyd said. “We did what others didn’t want to do.” This year he changed the compa-

ny name from P and R Sheetmetal to Shotton Manufacturing. “This change recognised the capabilities of the business had evolved, through customer demand, into an innovative and solutions-driven manufacturer,” he said. Lloyd also introduced different divisions - Shotton Lifts for residential and commercial lifts for homes and businesses; Shotton Parmed for mortuary fit-outs for hospitals, universities, forensics centres and funeral homes;

and Shotton Materials Handling for food processing, packaging and bulk material processing. “The $2.5 million we spent on equipment recently was tailored for the work that was left in Australia,” he said. “It took us three years to decide on the equipment we’d purchase.” The new machines arrived in January and February and were the first of their kind in Australia.

All the machine programming is done offline. An operator scans a barcode and the machine springs into action. Lloyd said it previously took workers 20 minutes to set machines by hand. “A big set-up here now takes about three minutes,” he said. “You press the button and it’s got all the tooling already installed and you’ve got four robots that just change all the tooling for you. “All the short run stuff, where it wasn’t competitive, now it’s competitive.” Lloyd said the machines didn’t take away any jobs. “The staff are being used in a different way,” he said. “We still keep the skilled people, we still keep the old technology. “There’s just some things you can’t do on here.” Shotton has four sites in Greens Road. “Our landlord keeps offering us more buildings,” Lloyd said. “In the next five years we’ll hopefully more than double in size.” He wants to move the business onto one site, but remain in the region. General manager Adrian Maloney said the business employed more than 85 people. “The equipment and training have been funded by the business owners with no assistance from the state or federal governments,” he said.

Cycling logo design on course for students DANDENONG students are learning with help from local manufacturer Jayco. Their Chisholm Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design course included designing logos for Jayco’s 40th anniversary and the Jayco Summer of Cycling. Jayco founder Gerry Ryan and digital marketing co-ordinator Chris Blunden selected the best design for each and announced the winners at Chisholm’s 311 Lonsdale Street campus on 16 October. “When we deal with professionals we often have to have multiple edits but some of the designs we saw today are just ready to go - we don’t have to change it,” Mr Ryan said. “The process was win-win, with students getting the opportunity to work to a real brief and hear feedback from real clients, while Jayco was able to get some fresh concepts and engage with a new audience about their upcoming projects.” Emmanuel Rigopoulos was awarded the best design for the Summer of Cycling campaign. The logo will be used in a mass media campaign across T-shirts, newspapers and television. He said the award would help his

Jayco founder Gerry Ryan, Summer of Cycling winner Emmanuel Rigopoulos, Jayco 40th anniversary winner Megan Griffiths and Jayco digital marketing co-ordinator Chris Blunden. folio because he aspired to be a graphic design freelancer working in multimedia or as a web developer.

Megan Griffiths designed the best Jayco 40th anniversary logo. She works as a freelance graphic de-

signer but hopes the qualification will allow her to take her business to a new level.

Labor Party puts trains on track of election promises By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS LABOR has pledged to roll out 30 new Metro trains and 20 V/ Line carriages as part of an $800 million state election pitch. During a tour of Bombardier’s Dandenong train factory on Wednesday, Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said that if elected his government would devote $350 million in its first budget to the program. He said without such a com-

mitment soon, Victorian-based train manufacturers such as Bombardier faced an uncertain future. For each of the 250 workers employed at Bombardier there was another four flow-on jobs locally, Mr Andrews said. “These are jobs worth fighting for.” In a statement last week, the ALP encouraged companies to “start preparing their bids” for

the rolling stock building tenders, which should include at least 50 per cent local content. “In making orders for new rolling stock, Labor will preference bids that will employ the most Victorian workers,” the statement said. Mr Andrews said the program, staged over four years, would be a balance between a “steady flow of work” and “what Victoria can pay for”.

“The industry has been crying out for a long-term rolling stock strategy to give the industry scale and certainty, and that’s what Labor will deliver.” Stuart Inglis, operations and projects manager at Bombardier, said the company was looking for more projects after it finished building 22 three-car Adelaide trains in the middle of next year. He said the company had yet to hear if a Chinese-led consor-

tium - which will partner with Bombardier - had won a bid to supply 25 new trains for the Dandenong rail corridor. It also wants the State Government to exercise an option for a further 100 Dandenong-built trams. The project - so far comprising 50 Bombardier-built trams - has a supply-chain of 350 Australian and New Zealand businesses.

Centre is ready for revitalising MORE than a third of Revitalising Central Dandenong precinct land is now developed, under construction or committed for development. About 65 per cent of the seven hectares of land included in the $290 million State Government project announced in 2006 remains available for private investment. Places Victoria is delivering the project with City of Greater Dandenong, government agencies and the private sector. Places Victoria precincts general manager Simon Wilson said key projects that had been completed included the eight-storey Government Services Office, the City of Greater Dandenong’s new municipal building and awardwinning public spaces Halpin Way and Settlers Square. “Key buildings currently underway include the new Australian Taxation Office on Walker Street, which will be home to 850 workers, and the Quest Apartments building under construction by the Pellicano Group,” he said. “Both developments are due for completion in late 2015.” Mr Wilson said the Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative had a 15 to 20-year development timeframe and was expected to attract $1.2 billion in private investment over its lifetime.

Taylor made for Rangers By RUSSELL BENNETT PENNY Taylor’s basketball career has come full circle, with the Australian Opals’ captain returning to where it all began - the Dandenong Rangers - for her first WNBL stint since 2002. The Phoenix Mercury WNBA star is undoubtedly one of the best players in world basketball, boasting a resume to match it with anyone in the women’s game. Now 33, she won a FIBA World Championship gold medal with the Opals in 2006 and was named MVP of the tournament. She’s also a three-time WNBA champion and three-time allstar in addition to winning championships in her time in the Italian, Russian and Turkish leagues. Many local basketball fans would have grown up never having the opportunity to watch Taylor play on home soil, but that’s all about to change and she couldn’t be happier. “I’m pretty lucky,” she said. “This year has been a great one for me, getting back on to the court after a long couple of years with injury. “I took some time after the World Championships to work out where would be best for me and obviously Dandenong is a great option - it’s where I started and after quite a long time I get to come back here and play for a great club, a great ownership and a coach and a team that I really respect. “It couldn’t have worked out better.” Taylor said she always knew that if she was going to play in Australia, it would be for Dandenong. “I’ve played overseas for a long time and I’ve missed my nieces and nephew grow up (while)

playing basketball around the world so for me Melbourne was the only option and I think Dandenong sets the standard in the WNBL.” Taylor will once again play under Mark Wright, who was the Rangers’ coach in her last Dandenong stint, and she also reunites with former Phoenix WNBA championship-winning team mate Cappie Pondexter. “I’m really excited about it - we’ve both grown over the years and have different things that we’ve added to our arsenal and I look forward to seeing the way he’s developed and to merge it with the way I have,” she said of playing under Wright again. “(And) Cappie and I have an amazing history of winning championships. “I love playing with her - I think she has great court vision as well as her individual talents.” Wright said he was “super excited” to have Taylor back in the Dandenong fold, adding: “Penny was a franchise player for us at 18 or 19-years-old (the first time around), but now with Cappie, Kathleen McLeod, Alice Kunek and Tegan Cunningham we’ve got some real scorers now who can help her carry the load”. Originally, neither Pondexter nor Taylor were on the Dandenong radar but injuries to Liz Cambage and Monica Wright changed things. Basketball Australia CEO Anthony Moore was at Dandenong Stadium on Friday for the official announcement of Taylor’s return. “From a Basketball Australia perspective,

Penny Taylor can’t wait to be back playing in front of friends and family in Melbourne again. 130078 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT we’re absolutely delighted to have Penny back,” he said. “She’s the Opals’ captain so the opportunity for fans to come out and see a world class talent in one of the best women’s basketball leagues in the worlds is just amazing. “As with all sport, it’s fantastic on TV but better live. “To have the ability to come down here to watch the likes of Penny and Cappie go at it is

just so exciting.” Dandenong has made a slow start to the new season and currently sits last on the ladder with just one win from its first five games. After losing by 22 points to Bendigo on Thursday night, the Rangers went down to the Capitals 101-72 at AIS Arena in Canberra on Saturday. Taylor is expected to line up for the Rangers against Townsville this Saturday, 8 November from 3pm at Dandenong Stadium.

It’s a Goodie for Cobras By RUSSELL BENNETT IT’S A given for most footy clubs to have social rooms that look out on to their home grounds. It’s not even an afterthought, let alone any kind of luxury. But the Sandown Cobras will be taking nothing for granted when the works at their Edinburgh Reserve base are completed. The City of Greater Dandenong has just signed off on Kirchner Constructions to undertake the works for the reserve’s pavilion upgrade that will finally bring the facilities up to a modern-day standard. “This facility is one of the oldest in the city and this has been a long time coming,” said Cr John Kelly at the 27 October council meeting. “It’s a lot of money for ratepayers, but this is one of the good things we do.” More than $973,000 will be spent on the project, which is vital for clubs like the Cobras who call the Springvale ground home. General manager Brett Phillips has been at the Cobras since the start of 2011 and the standard of the Edinburgh Reserve facilities struck him as soon as he arrived. “I thought they just looked old, rundown and tired,” he said. Sandown Cobras general manager Brett Phillips can’t wait for an “We didn’t even have a view lookexciting new chapter in his club’s history to begin. 130077 ing out on to the ground from the social Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT room.

“One building was built in 1961 and it hasn’t changed at all since - the only thing added was the grandstand component - and the other was built in 1984, so we made it a mission that if the club was going to grow, we had to improve on the facilities.” In addition to the recently-completed lighting upgrades at the reserve, Phillips hopes the new facilities will attract more locals to come to the ground to get their weekly footy fix. “We’re keen to see what impact it’ll have,” he said. “It’s a little bit of the unknown but we feel like people’s curiosity will bring the current people back and past players back, and act as a good recruiting angle for us in combination with the lights, which went up at the back end of this year. “You’ve got to have good facilities. “It’s competitive out there and all the clubs are jockeying against each other.” The practicalities of the pavilion upgrade will finally see the Cobras on a level pegging with many of their Southern Football League competitors. There will be plenty of on-site storage so the football club doesn’t have to pack and unpack every off-season; a bigger social space and a commercialstandard kitchen to cater for selection nights, match days and club functions; modern change rooms for the players; and a bigger medical room for the

club’s trainers and support staff. “People from the outside can see our club is moving somewhere now,” Phillips said. “Our story from where we were four-years-ago to now is that we’ve gone from bottom-end Division 3 to top-end Division 3. “Now we want to get out of Division 3… that’s our challenge. “As a recruit you’re joining a team on the rise that’s now getting better facilities and has a real path and direction.” Another huge positive for the Cobras moving forward is the appointment of their new coach, Steve Goodie. The 44-year-old has a wealth of footy knowledge few could match having been a player, coach and club president over his time in the game so far. He has had stints at Eastern Football League powerhouse Vermont, Eastern Ranges in the TAC Cup, Yarra Valley Mountain District footy league giants Upwey-Tecoma, ROC in Casey Cardinia and Ellinbank and District club Cora Lynn. He comes to the Cobras off the back of a 10-year-stint as president of the Gembrook Cockatoo Football Club. He’s a many-time premiership player and a five-time senior best-and-fairest award winner. A meet the coach night will be held on 19 November, with pre-season starting on 1 December.

In seventh heaven Banjo Boy

By MICHAEL FLOYD

WITH

ALLEN Deed has been installed as the odds-on favourite for Thursday night’s Group 2 Macro Meats Shootout after drawing favourably in box seven last week. The first greyhound drawn in the race’s unique preferential box draw system, kennel representative George Dailly, had no hesitation in placing his charge in the widest box available, box seven. “That’s what we wanted,” said Dailly. “It’s the perfect format for him (being just four dogs). “He just needs a bit of luck but I reckon he can get down to the low 29.20s and, hopefully, he’s close enough to them early to finish over the top.” Allen Deed’s biggest danger may come from a familiar foe, with Ken Virtue’s popular sprinter Banjo Boy set to jump from box one in his second Macro Meats Shootout. “I’m really pleased,” said Virtue, who nominated Banjo Boy for the race following a brilliant 29.23 solo trail after the final race last Sunday. “If he can reproduce that run it’s hard to imagine any dog being in front of him half way around, it’ll just depend on how far behind they are.” Having had six runs over the distance since a lengthy injury layoff Banjo Boy is approaching full fitness. That, combined with experience of lining up in the 2013 Shootout, has given Virtue confidence leading into the 2014 edition of the race. “There have only been two or three runs in his career that I’ve been disappointed with, and last year’s Shootout was one of them. “This time around, though, he has no excuses - he’s won five of his six starts from the red box and is as well as I can get him.” Awesome Project rounded out his Macro Meats Shootout preparations with an impressive win in the night’s Free For All, chalking up his seventh win from 11 starts at Sandown Park. Awesome Project is aiming to give Devon Meadows trainer Darren McDonald an unprecedented third win in the race and will jump from box five. Exciting Queenslander Iva Vision will jump from box three for Peter Young. Despite recording a best of the night win in a TAB Melbourne Cup Prelude at his only win at the track, TAB has installed the youngster as the outsider of the field. The $50,000 winner-takes-all final will be run on Thursday 6 November, along with the final TAB Melbourne Cup Prelude series.

Players stick with Keysborough By DAVID NAGEL PROUD Keysborough Football Club president Manny Scata believes the loyalty of the playing group and the return of juniors to the club are the key planks of a successful future in the Southern Football League. Keysborough’s application to make the switch from

SPRING FEVER

Casey Cardinia Football League to the SFL has been approved, by both leagues with AFL Victoria, leaving the way clear for a fresh start in Division 2 of the SFL. In other great news, the club will field a junior team for the first time in nearly a decade, with an under-9’s team to play in the Frankston

E FRE RY ENT OAD

and District Junior Football League (FDJFL). Scata said the loyalty of the players, through some tough times, both on and off the field, had been a driving force behind making sure the move is a success. “The thing that makes me most proud is the way the players have stuck by the

club,” Scata said. Scata also indicated that there would be no negative impact on sponsorship, and that the prospect of playing more local games, with bigger crowds, was appealing to sponsors like the Bendigo Bank in Dingley because football would be played closer to their heartland.

THE ‘Cup King’, James Bartholomew (Bart) Cummings turns 87 on November 14 but his thirst for Tuesday’s 154th running of the Group 1 $6,200,000 Emirates Melbourne Cup (3200 metres) is as great as when he was a youngster strapping the 1950 Melbourne Cup winner, Comic Court, for his father, Jim. The winner of 12 Melbourne Cups, Bart recently said, “I would like to make it a baker’s dozen”. A man who rarely strays from his New South Wales property these days revealed he may make a rare visit to Flemington to see Precedence become his 89th Melbourne Cup starter, a record, (it will also be the first for his grandson, James, who trains in partnership). Precedence will be having his fourth Melbourne Cup start and may be a veteran of the field (like his trainer) but ran an impressive fifth behind Prince of Penzance in the Moonee Valley Cup on October 25. In a race that looks to be dominated by overseas horses, either internationally or locally trained the other local hope appears to be Fawkner who was great in defeat when second to Adelaide in the Cox Plate. The Emirates Melbourne Cup has always been on the agenda for Fawkner and he has done everything right. Lucia Valentina had no luck in the Crown Golden Ale Caulfield Cup and will be amongst the contenders. Whilst there are local hopes we have to accept that there is a powerful group of internationals who will make up about half the field. The hardest to beat of those will be the Crown Golden Ale Caulfield Cup winner, Admire Rakti. He has plenty of weight but does rise just .5kg on his winning impost at Caulfield. The Japanese raider has done everything right in the interim and is considered better at the 3200 metres. Protectionist, prepared in Germany by Andreas Wohler ran an outstanding fourth in the Herbert Power Handicap with 59kg and drops to 56.5kg, the lowest weight he has carried for two years. He will have the services of Ryan Moore in the saddle. Considered by many as

the best jockey in the world he rode an outstanding race winning the Cox Plate on Adelaide. Former great jockey, now successful trainer, Johnny Murtagh, has two runners from his Irish stables. Mutual Regard, to be ridden by Damien Oliver, looks the best having won the Ebor Handicap at York and has all the credentials to win. He also has Irish St Leger winner, Royal Diamond, to be ridden by Stephen Arnold. Craig Williams will ride Cavalryman for the powerful Godolphin stables. Red Cadeaux returns for his fourth try after already running second to Dunaden and Fiorente. Also watch Seismos, Gatewood, Brambles and Willing Foe. Whilst most interest centres on Tuesday it must be remembered that Thursday sees the running of the $1,005,000 Group 1 Crown Oaks (2500 metres) with Lumosity, Fontein Ruby and Crafty the main chances. On Saturday attention will be on the sprinters with the $1,002,500 Group 1 Darley Classic (1200 metres) where interest centres on Irish sprinter, Slade Power for whom victory will mean a $600,000 bonus awarded by the Victoria Racing Club to any winner who has also won a leg of the Global Sprint Series outside Australia in the last 12 months. Slade Power won the Group 1 double of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and the July Cup at Newmarket this year. The son of Dutch Art has raced 18 times for 10 wins and five placings and is unbeaten this campaign. He will have strong opposition from locals, Lankan Rupee, current Australian Horse of the Year, plus new stars, Chautauqua and Terravista, plus Angelic Light and Buffering. Also highlighting the program are the $1,005,000 Group 1 Emirates Stakes (1600 metres) plus the $301,500 Group 3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2600 metres) which is likely to feature runners who missed out on making the field for the Melbourne Cup. Sportingbet Sandown Guineas Day will be held at Sportingbet Park, Sandown on Saturday, November 15.

SPORT PREMIER CRICKET - Round 6 (Day 1)

Top-order scalps tumble By RUSSELL BENNETT A SUPERB six-wicket haul from James Nanopoulos has put Dandenong in with a huge chance of returning to the winners list in Round 6 at home against Frankston Peninsula. Visiting skipper Michael McClean (17) won the toss and elected to bat, and it was a decision that paid off early with he and Paul Borrington (34) combining for a 41 stand for the first wicket. But from 0/40, Peninsula slipped to 3/58 - exposing the middle-order under cloudy skies. Nanopoulos was on song from the outset, claiming all three toporder scalps. However a 76-run stand for the fourth wicket between Kiefer Peries (38) and the in-form Luke Walker (71 not out) brought the visitors back to 4/134 and seemingly in position to score well in excess of 220. Walker’s half-century on Saturday was his third already this season, with another score of 49 to boot. Yet Nanopoulos wouldn’t be denied, bookmarking the innings with the final three wickets to fall - two of those dismissed leg-before. He finished with the outstanding figures of 6/24 from a miserly 19 overs - the best in his Premier career to date. Daniel Doran (2/35 from his 18 overs) was the other multiple wicket-taker as Frankston was re-

Nathan Lambden could only get through 6.4 overs on Saturday before leaving the field with a foot injury. 130076 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS duced to 8/186 at stumps. Heavy overnight rain from Friday through to Saturday morning eased to frustrating, short, sharp

showers throughout the afternoon. The overs played varied wildly throughout the Premier fixture, with just 34 completed at Casey Fields

but, somehow, 92 at Shepley Oval. There was no play in the Dandenong women’s match against Prahran.

DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - Round 3 (Day 1)

Wet, wet, wet... but still action a plenty By RUSSELL BENNETT RAIN was the most influential component of local play in the Dandenong District Cricket Association on Saturday. Everyone knew it was coming, but that didn’t make it any easier to stomach. Intermittent, and seemingly random, showers across the region following the heavy rain overnight saw play washed out altogether at some grounds - as on number two oval at Casey Fields for Cranbourne’s clash with North Dandenong, and Coomoora Reserve for the home side’s battle with Springvale South. But there was still plenty of action across Turf 1. DANDENONG WEST v HALLAM KALORA PARK HALLAM won the toss and sent the home side in at Greaves Reserve. It proved to be the right call with Matt Sofoulis’ side rolled for 160 in the 58th over. Sofoulis, himself, was

one of just two batsmen to pass 25 - the other being Anthony Brannan (35), who top-scored in the middle order - as his side seemingly had no answer for Hallam duo Cory Booth (4/27 in 8.4 overs) and Ben Hall (3/26). The visitors’ chase will resume on day two at 0/2 with the Hillard boys - Ben and Ryan - at the crease. HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTS v LYNDALE THE close of play might have come at exactly the right time for Heinz Southern Districts at Reedy Reserve, with the home side in all sorts of trouble at 5/67 in just the 25th over. After losing opener Rob Davies (1) early, the side looked to be steadying before Matt Downe (26) followed. The resistance was much weaker following his dismissal with Heinz losing wickets three, four and five for just 13 runs. Lyndale pair Ben Montgomery

(2/13) and Quyen Pham (2/14) will this Saturday look to continue right from where they left off. MORDIALLOC v BERWICK THE most disappointing aspect of Saturday’s rain was how badly it affected the two top-of-the-table clashes between Cranbourne and North Dandenong, and Mordialloc’s showdown with Berwick at Ben Kavanagh Reserve. Mordialloc is currently sitting on top of the Turf 1 ladder and proved its quality - even for only 28 overs - in restricting Berwick to 2/51. Stuart Squires started brilliantly with the Kookaburra and currently has the outstanding figures of 2/9 from 9.4 overs. Quick runs will be the order of the day for Berwick this Saturday. PARKFIELD v BUCKLEY RIDGES THE boys from Parkfield Reserve are in the box seat after the first day’s play of their match with

Buckley Ridges. The visitors’ top order crumbled after they lost the toss and were sent in to bat. None of their top-four scored more than 10 runs, piling the pressure on to the likes of Daniel Haasbroek (69) and Paul Rudd (34) in the middle and lower orders. Luckily they counterpunched effectively, playing the two starring roles in their side recovering from 5/31 to 6/126. Buckley Ridges was eventually dismissed for 154 in the 66th over, with Shane Bell (4/29) and Nilochana Perera (3/27) the main destroyers for Parkfield. Jarryd Williamson and Joe Wheal will stride to the crease for the home side to start day two at 0/3. But with both openers horribly out of form with the willow so far this season, Buckley Ridges would more than fancy their chances of breaking into the Parkfield middle order early on the second day’s play.

VSDCA - Round 3 (One day)

Back from the abyss By RUSSELL BENNETT NOBLE Park bounced back from the horror of its Round-2 loss to Endeavour Hills with an impressive one-day win over Mount Waverley at home on Saturday. In one of the weekend’s many rain-affected matches, the visitors won the toss and elected to bat and were in control early with openers Chanaka Sampath (31) and wicketkeeper batsman Rohan Dutt (27) combining for a 51-run stand. But they were the two highest scorers of the Mount Waverley innings with a balanced Noble Park attack taking eight wickets for the loss of just 90 runs - leaving the visitors at 8/141 from their 34 overs. The Perera boys - Ash (2/23) and Marasinghe (2/24), and Rizan Mawzoon (2/34) led the way while Mevan Fernando and Andrew Berman also claimed a wicket apiece. Noble Park’s innings started shakily, losing opener Jake Bradshaw (0) early but Marasinghe Perera (53) - batting at number three - completed a stellar all-around individual game with a half-century. A handy 32 from opener Sanjeewa De Silva provided enough support to see his side home in 32.5 overs - a handy five-wicket win (5/144). Endeavour Hills, meanwhile, continued its march with a 43-run win over Croydon at Croydon Oval. After losing the toss and being sent into bat, the Eagles were dismissed for 153 in the 45th over with Aaron Walter, Chris Brown and Mitch Rosam all taking two wickets each for the home side. Croydon could only must 28 runs for its biggest partnerships, however (the first and fifth wickets) - collapsing to be all out for 110. The Eagles will host Ormond at Sydney Pargeter Reserve this Saturday, while Noble Park will travel to Walter Galt Reserve in Mordialloc to face the Kingston Saints.
