■ New year sees family praying for answers...

No resolution CHRISTMAS was a heartbreaking reminder for Jake Lyons’s family of the hole his disappearance has left in their lives. The 20-year-old Dandenong North man’s father Rick went out with friends on 25 August last year and returned to find his Scullin Street house unlocked and the gas stove on. Jake was gone and he hasn’t contacted friends or family since, or accessed his bank accounts. Police Cold Case and Missing Persons Squad officers took over the investigation on 23 December. Last November Jake’s cous-

in Kim joined his sister Janessa, 19, and Rick to plea for information about his whereabouts and urge him to come home. “It’s still not developing. Nothing’s coming forward,” Kim said. “We as a family aren’t any clearer. We don’t have any more information. “It’s a horrible feeling.” She said Jake’s 21st birthday was approaching and that not hearing from him on Christmas Day was heart-breaking. “It was very painful,” she said. Investigators initially discounted foul play but in December indicated Jake might have been harmed. Kim believes the scenario

unlikely because he had no enemies or feuds. “I can’t see that. I think he left of his own accord,” she said. She said he was suffering from depression, “wasn’t in a good place” and had previously mentioned finding work in a rural area. Kim fears he’s taken his own life but remains optimistic that police can track him down. “You try and get on with your normal life because you have to, but it’s hard,” she said. “We just need some sort of closure. We just need to know. “Someone knows something, I think. “Please. We’re not coping very well.”

About 20 SES volunteers from four units conducted a four-hour line search at Warner Reserve on 23 December. Jake’s 2006 Holden Astra sedan was found at the Springvale park shortly after he went missing. Greater Dandenong SES unit controller Paul Daniel said police asked them to look for anything of interest and several specific items. A spokesperson from the Cold Case and Missing Person Squad said the search did not locate anything of value, nor had any useful public information been received. They said local police had covered all avenues of inquiry

so the case was moved to the squad “in order to devote more resources to this investigation”. The spokesperson said there was no evidence to indicate foul play. “But it’s one theory among many that police are working with,” they said. “There is absolutely a hope of finding Jake alive and that is the scenario police hope for.” Jake is described as Caucasian, 178 centimetres tall with a medium build and straight brown hair. He was last seen wearing green-coloured jeans, a blue jumper and black runners. Police urged anyone who saw Jake to immediately call triple zero.

Police call off chase

Police man of action Thieves strip out car POLICE are searching for a gold-coloured ute and its occupants following a burglary and police pursuit in Noble Park. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Kim Alp said the Mazda was seen fleeing from a burglary at Ellendale Road Tennis Club about 2.20am on 11 January. Police officers in a Highway Patrol vehicle saw the vehicle travelling north on Princes Highway in Springvale a short time later and gave chase. They ended their pursuit when the ute turned into Jacksons Road.

He joined the police after “a few kicks up the backside” from prominent Springvale police identity Jack Ledger left a character-forming mark. Along the way, he received wise counsel from former Chief Commissioner “Mick” Miller while working in the Russell Street communications unit.

He first wanted a role in search and rescue, but built his career in general policing at Springvale, Dandenong, Cranbourne, Narre Warren, Oakleigh and Moorabbin stations. As he moved up the ranks, he did stints at the former station at Russell Street as well as Colac and Geelong. He returned to Dandenong in his current role as the police service area’s manager in late 2012. “There’s a bit of life in me yet. I haven’t thought about retiring.”

HOMICIDE Squad detectives have charged three men over the death of Dandenong man Michael Strike. The 38-year-old’s body was found outside Keilor Cemetery last 25 May. Luke Maybus, 27, from Werribee, was last Thursday charged with murder, arson and theft of motor vehicle over the death. John Walker, 32, from Brunswick, was charged with one count of murder and Boronia man Joseph Girgis, 40, has been charged with accessory to murder. The charges followed Homicide Squad and Echo Task Force raids on homes in Brunswick, Boronia and Werribee earlier that day. Police also searched the Bandido bikie gang’s Brunswick club house last Tuesday in relation to Mr Strike’s death. They believe he visited the address the day before his death, and first searched it last November.

The voice of the community since 1865 Incorporating Star Greater Dandenong

INSPECTOR Bruce Kitchen was looking for an “exciting and secure” job when he joined the police force. On both scores, the vocation has not disappointed. Inspector Kitchen, who oversees the Greater Dandenong police service area, was recently awarded for 35 years’ service mainly in Melbourne’s south-east. His enthusiasm hasn’t dimmed over that time. “It’s certainly not a boring job. I still find it challenging and exciting,” Inspector Kitchen said. “I still like coming in to work. I can’t remember the last time I took a sick day.” Technology has changed the job markedly identity card checks that once took up to 15 minutes can be done instantly on computer. Inspector Kitchen remembers typing up reports using carbon paper. He learnt the hard way that leaving half-written reports in typewriters was an invitation for office pranksters. “We’re also more accountable these days because of social media. “These days, everyone’s a reporter with their mobile phones. Isolating communications (such as in last month’s Sydney siege) doesn’t happen anymore.” The rise of drug-addled criminals has also changed policing methods. “Alcohol has always been an issue but the influence of drugs is more unpredictable. “Because of that, we have to be more safety conscious. Policing is a lot harder.” Inspector Kitchen’s youth was spent in Carrum Downs and Noble Park; his family had re-

Lost horse plea By CASEY NEILL MUCH-LOVED horse Maverick is missing after thieves snatched him from his Dandenong North paddock. His owner Brittany Jubb, 22, from Clyde and her mother Tricia from Cranbourne have been searching high and low for the 23-year-old chestnut quarter horse gelding since Wednesday 7 January. Tricia became aware of a problem that morning when she received a call from a City of Greater Dandenong ranger after a horse was found on the Monash Freeway between Heatherton and Stud roads at 6am. The thoroughbred chestnut gelding was a companion for Maverick. “The ranger and police caught it and walked back along a public bike path which backs onto our paddock,” Tricia said. “There are other paddocks in this area, but the horse started to take over and walked the ranger to an area of our fenceline that clearly had been deliberately cut. “I arrived at the paddock shortly after and discovered that my daughter’s horse was gone.” Maverick is 15.1 hands with distinctive markings - four long white socks and a white star/strip that angles down the right side of his nose. He is branded HA with an arrow underneath the letters pointing towards his tail and has a scar on his far front hoof. “It is all very confusing as we don’t know whether they attempted steal the other horse as well, used the other horse just to walk along with Maverick so perhaps he wouldn’t neigh, or simply knew the other horse got out when they cut the middle fence and left it out to roam,” Tricia said. “It is, however, unlikely to have wandered the distance to the freeway away from all horses in the area on its own.” Tricia discovered fresh manure leading from the paddock to Clow Street in

Brittany Jubb on Maverick in happier times. Dandenong via a bike path. “The Clow Street exit point has an oval area with a car park so Maverick may have been loaded there,” she said. “Someone has gone to great lengths to get our horse and he is not overly easy to catch and there were 20 horses in that paddock to choose from. “I have leased this paddock in Dandenong North for around 30 years and never had a horse stolen or known of others stolen in this area. “Britt only turned Maverick out in this paddock about eight weeks ago as there was plenty of feed there for the summer period.” Brittany has owned Maverick for about 10 years and rode him in dressage and other competitions. “He has been retired for six to seven-odd months, purely as she felt he

had done enough and deserved retirement - not through injury,” Tricia said. “She loves him so much and wants to give him the retirement he deserves.” The Jubbs have notified saleyards and contacted knackeries. “Someone must know this horse’s whereabouts or will see him somewhere in the coming weeks,” Tricia said. Dandenong police Sergeant Ally Howard said horse thefts were rare in the area. “This is something unusual,” she said. “I expect someone would have seen something. I urge them to contact Crime Stoppers.” Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or contact Brittany Jubb on 0431 737 580 or through www.facebook. com/maverickstolenhorse.

Kids set to sit for their new benchmark SURELY this stunning Sshaped seat inspired by students can be called a benchmark of good design. The floral-themed bench sprung from St Joseph’s Primary School students’ fertile imaginations last year - with the help of Keysborough welder and fabricator Mick Cuttriss. The students pitched the design to Greater Dandenong Council, which built and installed the bench as part of a Burden Park redevelopment. Deputy principal Alan Brew said the final product

their “voice” through community projects. “It’s something very practical,” Mr Brew said. “It’s getting an idea to fruition in the real world.” Mayor Sean O’Reilly said the children had involvement from conception to final execution. “This wasn’t something that was planned for the park but ... it was such a good design. “It will be something the students will always remember.” - CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

IN BRIEF Stab woman dives from car A WOMAN jumped from a moving car and into the path of an ambulance following a stabbing last week. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Kim Alp said the victim had entered a vehicle at Dandenong Railway Station about 2.15am on 10 January. A man and woman inside the car initiated an altercation, locked the doors and drove away with the victim in the back seat. Sen Const Alp said they punched the woman several times and stabbed her in the leg and forearm with an unknown implement. She leapt from the moving vehicle on Princes Highway, near EastLink. A passing ambulance saw her fall from the car, attended to her and took her to Dandenong Hospital.

Blitz to cut road trauma EXTRA police are out tackling road trauma across Greater Dandenong. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Sergeant Scott Roberts said the TAC ranked the municipality in the top six Victorian local government areas for trauma. “We’ve got funding for additional shifts,” he said. Until at least the end of May, Sgt Roberts’officers will be on the road a couple more days per fortnight and police from other areas will bolster their efforts. He said there’d be spot testing for drug driving and those caught would likely lose their licences. “Drugs can stay in their system for a long time - probably a lot longer than they think and a lot longer than alcohol,” he said. Sgt Roberts warned people to bear in mind that alcohol could be in their system the day after a big night out.

I’m proud and excited to be here for you THIS year promises to be exciting for many reasons - allow me to explain why. The 20-year Revitalisation Project of central Dandenong is now 10 years in and the transformation is astonishing. We have our new Civic Centre and library, new Government Services Building, the Dandenong Market redevelopment, Drum Theatre and Lonsdale Street upgrades and we enjoyed significant business, cultural and residential growth. The preparation for the all-new Springvale library and civic centre continues. While we can do some smaller works early, the main works are planned to commence in 2017. This year the Springvale Asian Gateway Project will be completed; food and culture will be celebrated at Dandenong Market as part of the World Food Fare and about 80,000 locals and visitors will

celebrate Lunar New Year in Springvale. We will be advocating for the removal of train level crossings, new bus routes for Keysborough South, the closure of the Lyndhurst Landfill site, gambling reform and additional financial support for our manufacturing sector. On a personal note, my election as mayor of Greater Dandenong is both an honour and a privilege.

As a Year 10 student I was elected Student Body President and learnt very quickly that the best way to be effective was to listen to and represent my fellow students. In my early twenties, I watched with interest as Bob Hawke and Paul Keating dominated the Australian political landscape. I was in awe of the way both men confidently advocated on behalf of the community and knew then it was something I wanted to aspire to do. At the age of 21, I joined the Labor Party and became actively involved. I stood as a candidate in the 1997 Glen Eira council elections, narrowly losing by two votes. The loss was devastating but gave me the additional drive and determination I needed for the next time.

In 2012, I was elected as a councillor in the City of Greater Dandenong council elections. As a councillor I’ve learnt about decision making and consultative processes. Being a councillor has given me a chance to develop my public speaking skills, social skills with people I don’t know and has given me knowledge of the area I live in. As mayor I am particularly keen to promote community pride as well as supporting ideas that will further develop Greater Dandenong as a city which is a vibrant, connected and caring place for people to live and work in. I am proud to call Greater Dandenong home and love where I live. I’m open to your feedback and ideas - feel free to send me an email on soreilly@cgd.vic.gov.au.

LOOKING BACK THE WAR 14 January 1915 Our Gallant Defenders AN OFFICER in the Devonshire Regiment in a letter to a friend in England (re-printed in the South Bourke and Mornington Journal, 14 January 1915) gives a description of the work of the Devons in holding a position against the Germans. “On the night of October 22 we advanced a bit and dug ourselves more or less in by dawn, and soon after light we saw great masses of German infantry emerge from woods and hedges some 1000 yards to our front, and advance to attack us. “We opened fire on them, and killed dozens. This was answered by the Germans with a tremendous shell fire from their heavy guns. “All day long the battle raged, and you never saw such an inferno.

“By night the place was a mass of fire, smoke, dead and dying. “All night they attacked us. Sometimes they got right up to our trenches only to be hurled back by the lads’ bayonets. “Dawn broke on 24 October with the same struggle still going on, and it continued all day and night, and all through the 25th. “We never slept a wink and by night we were absolutely done.” On another occasion an officer with two men volunteered for a piece of work. Approaching to ascertain the true position of a certain line of trenches, he says: “We were met by a hellish fire, which killed both my men. One bullet tore a hole inside my thigh about four inches long, and as deep as a pencil. It was, however, only a graze, nothing serious.

frantic parents in addition to having to search for their children.“We appeal to the public going to the beaches to pin a piece of card bearing the child’s name and address and the location and number of the family car on the child’s clothing before going on to the sand. “This will give lifesavers a chance of locating the parents without a great waste of time...” 20 years ago 23 January 1995 Red face after rescue WHO was the very quiet regular who recently fell asleep in the toilet at the local watering hole, waking later to find a very empty pub secured for the night? Police answered his timid call for rescue and when the constabulary arrived, they found a rather flushed, red-faced gent who needless to say was happy to see them.

“Another bullet went through my coat pocket. It was a hot corner. All these shots were fired not 20 yards away. "“To go on was suicide, so I crawled back into safety fearing every second would be my last, and with difficulty and in some pain I got back to the General and told him the position.” 50 years ago 20 January 1965 Lost Children a Beach Worry THE number of children lost on the beaches is causing lifesavers increasing concern.

Program to tag suicide By CASEY NEILL GRAFFITI isn’t out of the ordinary in Dandenong but recent scrawl on signage at Ermha was something very different. Vandals wrote the message “stop suicide plz” outside the mental health service’s Thomas Street office. Ermha service development manager Samuel Crinall said it was a reasonable point to make. “We’re not in a rush to remove it. We think it’s a good message,” he said. “It’s a deeply concerning issue for the community.” And Ermha is doing its best to meet the request. It’s partnering with Life Central to seek funding for a pilot across at least four secondary schools in the south east. They’ll

take independently assessed findings to the Federal Government. Life Central CEO Drew Gormlie said it was likely the graffiti vandal had lost a loved one to suicide and was also suicidal themselves. “People that have known somebody who has ended their life, their risk of suicide goes up significantly,” he said. “We’re excited about the prospect of affecting our communities in such a positive way and confident that sooner or later that’s going to happen.” The program will train teachers, staff and parents to identify students at risk of taking their lives. Suicide Safer Communities president Debra Croft developed the program they will be

Heartfelt graffiti in Dandenong. using and will be one of the key trainers. “The likelihood is that people are in such a difficult emotional and mental place that they can’t bring themselves to actually tell someone that they’re at risk,” Mr Gormlie said. “So the goal is to be aware of that non-verbal communication.

“It’s a risk to tell somebody because the consequences of that, for instance, if you’re in a work scenario could be that you lose your job. “You could get rejected or ostracised if you’re a schoolkid.” Mr Gormlie said most people at risk said there was no-one to talk to and no-one understood.

“Our goal is to make sure there’s plenty of people to talk to and understand,” he said. Mr Crinall said the program encouraged directly asking someone whether they were considering suicide. “Being that open and that courageous in posing the question invites people to be equally courageous in their answer,” he said. “If you kind of skirt around the issue and ask ‘are you thinking of harming yourself?’ or ‘are you having a tough time?’ you give people opportunities to not respond. “When you say ‘are you thinking about ending your life?’ you’re communicating that you can handle either answer.” Mr Crinall said the program

would create a more healthy, connected and supportive environment at the schools and connect students at risk to other community services. He said there was a misconception that talking about suicide encouraged it. “Actually the opposite is true,” he said. “If people talk and seek help, there are more successful outcomes.” Life Central CEO Drew Gormlie said there were 9500 road fatalities and 1500 homicides during the 10 years to 2012. There were 22,000 suicides in the same period. “Our goal is to actually address what is people living in silent desperation in the community,” he said.

Race day faces industrial threat INDUSTRIAL action could taint Sandown Racecourse’s Australia Day event. Sandown and Caulfield garden and grounds maintenance staff last Thursday learned that the Melbourne Racing Club (MRC) would be contracting out their jobs. Australian Workers Union (AWU) Victorian secretary Ben Davis said the decision affected 34 people, followed six months of enterprise bargaining agreement negotiations and was “a disproportionate response and more than a little precious”. “My organiser turned up

An MRC spokesman said the decision followed an 18 month efficiency review to tackle rising losses in its racing business, which topped $6 million per annum in recent years. He said employees would be offered voluntary redundancies as part of the existing enterprise agreement which is due to expire on 31 January. MRC was forced to explore other options, he said, because the AWU made unreasonable demands. - CASEY NEILL

It’s just come completely out of the blue.” Mr Davis said the union would lodge a dispute with Fair Work and call an emergency meeting of delegates from all metropolitan Melbourne racecourses for next week to “talk through a campaign”. He said the campaign could affect coming race meetings, including the Australia Day meet at Sandown Racecourse.

FRANK Ekenaike is calling on the council to address health and safety in a “forgotten pocket” of Dandenong South. He works at logistics and purchasing business Edsan Plastics in Hammond Road on the corner of Bangholme Road. His brother Bert bought the land 12 years ago and believed that the unmade section of Bangholme Road would be sealed within two years. The City of Greater Dandenong and VicRoads project would allow traffic to link more effectively with EastLink, the South Gippsland Freeway and Frankston-Dandenong Road. “Nothing is happening as far as I know,” Mr Ekenaike said. “I would like something in writing. I would like to know when it will happen.” He said the council periodically graded the road but this was not controlling dust. “We get all the dust into our canteen and into our maintenance place and into the factory,” he said. “About two months ago I was outside working and by the time it came to the afternoon I couldn’t talk. “I got all this dust into my lungs. I suffered with a sore throat for about six weeks. “What is the point of wasting so much money when you could just asphalt the road?” Mr Ekenaike said there was no spoon drain in front of the property, so rain caused flooding. “We pay something like

Frank and Bert Ekenaike outside their Dandenong South Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS factory. 131866 $50,000 a year in rates,” he said. “Another year has come and gone and nothing has been done.” He said the council also neglected neighbouring grassland for up to six months. “We get a letter and if we don’t cut the grass in one month we get a fine,” he said. The council’s infrastructure planning and services manager Oliver Vido said the council and VicRoads would undertake the Bangholme Road upgrade in two stages. Stage one is to include design and construction of one lane each way and a bridge over Eumemmerring Creek. Mr Vido said the project

would cost about $14 million and would be considered as part of the council’s Capital Improvements Program 20152020. He said Bangholme Road’s “low lying nature” made it very difficult for interim drainage solutions. “However any future upgrades to Bangholme Road will include the provision of stormwater drainage infrastructure,” he said. Mr Vido said grass along rural road reservations in the municipality was mowed periodically, four times each year. “The mowing program includes a herbicide treatment to control grass growth,” he said.

Car thief snap POLICE are on the trail of a car thief who struck at Booran Holden in Dandenong. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Glen Cruse last week asked for public help to identify the man responsible for stealing a black Holden Maloo ute from the Lonsdale Street show yard about 2.30pm on 17 November last year. Sgt Cruse said the keys were in the vehicle when it was stolen and that it was involved in a pursuit about 8.10pm that night near Cranbourne Road and Western Port Highway, Langwarrin. “The pursuit was abandoned due to excessive speed,” he said. Sgt Cruse said the thief then used the car to steal petrol from a service station in Boundary Road, Mordialloc, at 12.50am on 30 November. The man police are looking for is Caucasian in appearance, about 170 centimetres tall and aged in his late teens to early twenties with an average build. During the petrol theft he was wearing a white jacket, a light-coloured top, dark jeans and a dark hat with a white motif. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Police are searching for this man.

Danger dog goes into foster care A HOMELESS woman’s pooch pal has been saved from a death sentence. Kim Reeves, 26, told the Journal in December that the City of Greater Dandenong had unfairly classified her eightyear-old rottweiler Laura as a dangerous dog. She rejected allegations that the dog killed a neighbour’s chickens and said she was her closest companion through

1168990-KC3-15

years of drifting between rental accommodation, boarding houses and sleeping rough. The council seized Laura in September arguing that the homeless Ms Reeves was unable and unwilling to securely house the dog, which it considered a risk to public safety. Barristers Animal Welfare Panel intervened on 5 December and gave Ms Reeves 14 days to convince the council that she could adequately house the dog

and comply with dangerous dog regulations. The national panel last week reported that it had worked with solicitor Daniel Beecher to engage community-based foster care network Unforgettable Creatures to take care of Laura until Ms Reeves was able to provide adequate housing. The council agreed to the arrangement and on 2 January released Laura to a foster carer.

I WAS utterly disgusted to read in The Dandenong Journal about the City of Greater Dandenong’s lack of humanity to an animal yet again. People keep reminding me about Baa the sheep (now sadly dead from cancer), and how the council pursued that poor man who had the misfortune to have made a pet of a sheep. So now we have a young woman, Kimmi Reeves, who gave birth to a dead baby eight years ago and soon after adopted a Rottweiler puppy which “saved her life.” The bond naturally between Kimmi and her dog Laura is extremely strong. According (disputed) to the City of Greater Dandenong Laura killed three backyard hens. This makes her – apparently - a dangerous dog who should be confined in a concrete pen. This is a little difficult when you live out of your car and in rental houses, if you are lucky. I gather the brave council officers cornered Laura in her backyard and were gobsmacked when she growled at them. Once the brave officers had her cornered and caught she was dispatched to the lost dogs home where she awaits death. Kim is a person without important contacts, with little education, and who has had a great deal of bad luck, not the least of which is now owing this ‘poor cash-strapped council $8000.’ It does sound a bit like Baa the sheep, doesn’t it? Why can’t our local governments help residents who have had misfortune in their lives? It seems to me they would rather persecute them. Why does it seem to depend on who you know rather than the justice of your cause? I would like to implore the councillors and MPs who represent us, the businesspeople with influence, and the public who care to get in touch with the council and get Laura released back into Kimmi Reeves’ custody ASAP. Below is Kimmi’s heart-breaking letter to the council, written on the council’s lost dogs site: Kimmi Reeves 8 December at 08:09. “Greater Dandenong Council. Please find ur heart n return my best friend to me, Laura is not responsible for anything more than being a dog n in spite of ur opinion of her she is a very intelligent girl. U cannot base ur impression of her as u have never even given her the rights she deserves. I promise u that ur so very wrong try letting me be there n show u that truth she is the most obedient. U can’t aggressively storm into her home corner her n say she’s a danger coz she’ll bite if u back her into a corner. That’s horrible n u people expect her to listen to u. Laura n I have been together since her birth n if u want to put anything to sleep I beg u put me down. She did nothing wrong..." Diana Prossor, Keysborough.

Shed nails funds for extra strength

Victorian and Australian Large Training Provider of the Year 2014

1167150-EG51-14

THREE Greater Dandenong men’s sheds will be able to boost their facilities. They have received funding from the State Government’s Strengthening Men’s Sheds Program. The Dandenong North Men’s Shed received $25,563 to extend the existing shed, install heating and cooling and expand workbench areas. The Springvale Multicultural Men’s Shed received $10,557 to install solar power, water tanks and a split-system for cooling and heating. It’s the first of its kind in Australia and is due to officially open its doors on 14 February. Dandenong West Men’s Shed received $27,995 to refurbish and expand its space on the Dandenong West Primary School premises. The shed’s co-ordinator Ivan Araujo said the space was a place to socialise for people who were unemployed or new to the country. A retired electrician comes in every week to provide advice. “He’s told me that it breaks his isolation. Since he’s retired he’s got no social group that he belongs to,” Mr Araujo said. “Part of the funding as well would be to buy a lot of tools, to have free tool hire for people who sign up with the shed. “Even a lawn mower - there’s a lot of low socio-economic families who can’t afford a lawn mower.”

Air show high AUSTRALIANA is the theme for this year’s Australia Day celebrations in Dandenong Park. Family-friendly entertainment will fill the Pultney Street space from 3pm to 9.30pm on Monday 26 January. City of Greater Dandenong expects more than 9000 people to check out live music, roving performances, fireworks, an RAAF Roulettes aerobatic display, food and market stalls, rides, workshops and games. Mayor Sean O’Reilly said Australia Day was particularly symbolic for many of the city’s residents. “With one of the most culturally diverse communities in Australia, Greater Dandenong embraces the

true spirit of Australia,” he said. “Promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance, Australia Day is a chance for our residents to come together and celebrate what being Australian means to them.” Festival highlights will include a native Australian animal display, a jumping castle and giant slide, fire pits for toasting marshmallows, a Dame Edna Everage impersonator and a special area for children aged under five years. The Greater Dandenong Brass Band, The Weekend People, Mercury White, Keshie and Mystic Trio will perform, and the SKAF hiphop crew and the Bollydazzlers will dance up a storm.

Festival-goers will receive two free ride tokens and free valet parking if they ride their bicycle to the event. Outstanding local citizens and community groups will be recognised for their community spirit and commitment to making a difference to the city at the annual Greater Dandenong Australia Day Awards at the Drum Theatre at 2pm. Cr O’Reilly said the award winners each displayed the important qualities of generosity, hard work, and perseverance through their tireless work in a number of community groups and organisations. A citizenship ceremony will immediately follow the awards ceremony.

Branding aims for new bridges THE Bridge has unveiled new branding for three services that are supporting people with disabilities in the south-east. Assistant Social Services Minister Mitch Fifield launched The Bridge Works, The Bridge Connects and The Bridge Employment on 15 December at a special event at supported employment service The Bridge Works in Dandenong. The Bridge, formerly known as Options Victoria, has been operating for more than 40 years and provides employment and community services to people with disability throughout the region. The Bridge Works is a supported employment service in Dandenong with more than 40 staff with a disability that provides warehousing and logistics. The Bridge Connects includes day support, respite, social and leisure activities and The Bridge Employment provides job placement and support. More than 200 guests watched a short film starring supported employee Jono Burggraaf who uses The Bridge Connects’ getaways service. The film showed a day in Jono’s life, his passion for his job, his independence in travelling, working and friendships, and his love of reading the weather report on a local radio station. The celebration concluded with Mr Fifield and supported employee Giuseppe di Benedetto unveiling plaques for the three new service names on stage. “Today we’re here to celebrate the good things about The Bridge Works, and the benefits of supported employment to the people involved,” The Bridge CEO Phillip Toovey said. “The Bridge Works supports and employs nearly 50 people, so we’re a small part of this industry, but when it comes to the workers, it certainly is all about quality - and when it comes to quality of services to business, it’s the same thing - quality work.” Visit www.thebridgeinc.org.au for more information.

Mysteries of the East-West Link THE East-West Link secrets are out but it is unclear whether the State Government is bound by its predecessor’s $2 billion-plus private deal to upgrade the Dandenong rail corridor. An Andrews Government spokeswoman last month said it was still “receiving advice” on the arrangement. Greens leader Greg Barber called on the Andrews Government to reveal the proposal and its business case. “I don’t believe contracts have been signed but the rail operator (Metro Trains) put a proposal to the government,” Mr Barber said. “With Metro, I suspect it’s as much about property development and speculation as it is about running more trains.” Last year, the Napthine Government announced it had entered “exclusive negotiations” with a private consortium, including rail operator Metro Trains, for 25 new trains, high-capacity signalling and the removal of at least four level crossings. The recently-deposed government had been hoping to finalise an agreement by late in the year.

COVER STORY

INVITE TO CELEBRATE INSPIRED Homes is celebrating its 10th anniversary – and giving new homebuyers an opportunity to save $15,000 with its Celebrations package. The locally based company was started 10 years ago by managing director Andrew Stickley. He had a vision to create homes that were different in concept and performance. Each home is designed in partnership with customers to give them an unheard of level of flexibility. In fact, Andrew reports that the company has never actually built the same house twice. “Personal requirements, budgets, land sizes, shapes and orientation are all variables that should be considered for an optimal outcome,” he said. In a world where every estate seems to offer variations on a generic theme, Inspired Homes really does live up to its slogan of being “refreshingly different”.

ONLINE CREATOR Would-be buyers can explore the difference themselves by clicking onto the Inspired Homes website and exploring the Home Creator tool. It brings the Inspired concept to life and opens buyers’ minds to new possibilities. Before building, each online layout is manually adjusted or combined with different components to create a unique design.

CELEBRATIONS The 10th Birthday Sale offers $15,000 of extra value at no extra cost. It includes Contour evaporative cooling, LED downlights, an aluminium alfresco sliding door and a $6000 Colour Room voucher. Competitive pricing, house and land packages, build quality and practical layouts all make Inspired Homes excellent value. But perhaps the real secret lies in the flexibility of its modular concept.

NEW HOMES & LAND

BUILDING TO SUIT ALL STAGES OF FAMILY LIFE Local Hotondo Homes builders, Scott Phillips from Pakenham and Tim and Marg van Dam from Clyde North, build homes to cater for people at every stage of their life. With over 90 floor plans to choose from, there is sure to be the perfect home to suit. The release of 12 new home designs further cements Hotondo Homes as a builder that will build to suit any requirement and budget. Whether it’s first home buyers looking to get into the market, investors, families with young children, adult families looking to upsize or older couples looking to downsize, Hotondo Homes have it covered. The new designs include single and double-storey homes that are modern, fresh and in line with current market needs. They also cater to suit a multitude of different family needs, budgets and lifestyle requirements. “We are extremely excited to launch these new designs,” builder Scott Phillips said. “Our design team aims to design homes that incorporate the modern lifestyle. We don’t just build houses; we’re passionate about building homes that people actually want to live in.” The new Nicoll 175 design is a modest take on the family home. Its single-storey facade is made up of interesting lines and offers

everything necessary for comfortable and relaxed living. The new 18.86 square Nicoll 175 design features three bedrooms including a master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in-robe, double car garage, two bathrooms, outdoor alfresco area and open plan kitchen, dining and living room. “The Nicoll 175 design is the quintessential family abode. Its smart and practical floor plan is the outstanding feature,” Tim van Dam said. The Como 449 boasts the ultimate in luxurious and spacious living. It features all the elements of the perfect family home, but also offers areas of seclusion and privacy. It features four bedrooms with walk-in-robes and ensuites, a double car garage, downstairs outdoor alfresco area and upstairs balcony, open plan kitchen, meals and family area, two study areas, home theatre, rumpus room, four bathrooms plus a powder room and more. “The 48.37 square Como 449 design is a large and spacious family home,” Tim van Dam added.

Homeowners planning to break out the tool box and spend the summer on DIY household improvements often think they are adding value to their home. But inferior DIY work can not only make a poor first impression, but have buyers worrying about what else has been poorly done. And DIY done well will not add value if the home is overcapitalised - that is, more spent on it than could be recouped in a sale. The popularity of DIY has increased as a result of our love affair with home improvement programs such as The Block and

House Rules. Business information analysts Ibisworld last year forecast that within five years Australians would be spending more than $60 billion a year on home renovation and maintenance. Already spending figures are close to $55 billion a year. The analysts said the hardware store sector would grow most, with projected growth of 16 per cent. Kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor areas are most commonly upgraded. A recent British survey has found that poor DIY can knock up to 11 per cent off the selling price

of a home with nine out of 10 homebuyers saying they would lower their offer if they spotted botched home improvements. Translating those figures to Victoria, that would mean up to $35,000 off the regional Victorian median house price of $324,000 and about $70,000 off the Melbourne median house price of $649,000. A key lesson is that work should be done well if it is to add value to a home. That means being sure homeowners have the skills and experience for the tasks and, if not, getting professional tradespeople to do the work.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Nuts about fixing cars By CASEY NEILL DANIEL Postema is the first person to complete a new Nissan apprenticeship program. The Noble Park 21-year-old has always been passionate about vehicles and worked hard to turn his hobby into a career. “My mum’s said I’ve loved cars ever since I was a toddler,” Daniel said. “I grew up with vehicles and played games with cars and always loved car movies. “I’ve always been a rev-head I guess - or car enthusiast.” When he finished Year 12 at Wellington Secondary College in Mulgrave he asked his parents’ Dandenong mechanic if he could give him a hand to get some work experience. “I went and worked at a local mechanic voluntarily to see and understand what the mechanics industry was like and whether I’d enjoy it,” he said. Daniel recommended others follow his lead. “Managers might be more likely to take you on board if you do volunteer,” he said. “It can also be hard getting your foot in the door into a workplace. “If you do a lot of hard work trying to get a job and you find out it isn’t what you like, it’s another headache.” A few weeks later he successfully applied through Work Place

Daniel, third from left, with his team in the Nissan workshop. Connect (WPC) Group for its new Nissan Mentored Apprenticeship Program (NISSMAP). Daniel said the not-for-profit group training organisation saw his volunteer experience as “a

very positive attitude towards the job that I wanted to do”. He was among the first apprentices to start NISSMAP and this year was the first to finish. The program offers an accel-

erated automotive apprenticeship over 2.8 years instead of the standard four. Participants attend dedicated classes, working on Nissan components and receive a Certificate III in Automotive

Mechanical Technology upon completion. NISSMAP also includes one-on-one mentoring to bridge the gap between school and the world of work. “Hands-on, practical learning opportunities like a day at the V8 Supercar Races and tours outside of TAFE have really broadened my mind and showed me that there are so many opportunities out there,” Daniel said. “I would like to look into more technical stuff, possibly further extend my training - learn more in-depth how things happen, how things work. “I’ve started to understand how a lot of things work, not just within vehicles now but other stuff around the house. “It’s a good hands-on skill.” Daniel said having a career in his passion made it easy to go to work each day. “You’ve got something to look forward to,” he said. NISSMAP has helped Nissan secure an 84 per cent apprenticeship retention rate - higher than the 49 per cent industry average. WPC Group general manager Andrew Sezonov said people often equated apprenticeships and traineeships with poor pay and menial work. “These days, an automotive career is more about electronics and diagnostics, and less about manual labour,” he said.

Hooked on dress-up

Drivers on the road to travel disruption

KIDS can become superheroes, princesses, pirates and monsters at Dandenong Market this week. Its Marvellous Makeovers and Dress-Up Craft Creations workshops will run from 10am to 2pm every market day until 25 January. Children of any age can make their own costume using capes, crown costumes, elf ears, robot buttons, monster masks, angel wings, pirate hats and more. The makeover team - award-winning face painter Sci Westwood and craft aficionado and hair stylist Tang - will help with face paint, hair chalk, flowers and crowns. The activity is free and no booking is required. It will run on Tuesday 20, Friday 23, Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 January in Market Square, Dandenong Market, corner Clow and Cleeland streets, Dandenong.

MOTORISTS could encounter delays on the South Gippsland Freeway in coming weeks. VicRoads is conducting annual road resurfacing works between 9pm and 4.30am daily, except Fridays and Saturdays. Workers will lay and compact asphalt and refresh line marking to produce a smoother surface and preserve the road’s longevity, meaning less maintenance in the future. VicRoads said the work was being carried out during the warmer months to ensure the best quality finish. The South Gippsland Freeway will be closed northbound from South Gippsland Highway to Princes Highway until 21 January. From Thursday 22 to Monday 26 January, it will be closed northbound between Princes Highway and Monash Freeway. On Thursday 27 January, the South Gippsland Freeway will be closed southbound between the Monash Freeway and Princes Highway.

Rats! We need kids MOTHERS’ group Rug Ratz is looking for more rugrats to ensure its future. The non-profit playgroup will run at Springers Leisure Centre in Keysborough every Thursday from February and has been around for eight years. Mum Eva said Rug Ratz had restructured in the past two years and lost several families as their children have moved up to kinder and school. There are now not enough families to run it, with just seven signed up by Christmas. Eva said Rug Ratz provided an opportunity for kids to play together and learn social skills in a safe and structured environment, and for mums to find support. A yearly $35 playgroup fee and a $35 fee per family per term covers rent and supplies. Call group leader Danielle on 0422 521 279 or enrolment officer Nina on 0417 022 187 to sign up or for more information.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS NO SMALL writing bug has hit at Silverton Primary School. It first hit students during a term of story-writing on a “digital platform”. Then it went viral when the classes finished - the students kept writing and posting feedback for each other. Teacher Bianca Thaens said the writing contagion caught the interest of a Queensland children’s publisher Emma Mactaggart of Boogie Books. Ms Mactaggart hosted workshops with 21 budding authors from the school, offering to publish the stories on one condition - the children decide where to donate the books. The students formed the Silverton Child Writes Reality Group, choosing to tailor their

stories for Ronald McDonald House visitors - who are families of hospitalised children. “They were the greatest inspiration for the children’s writing,” Ms Thaens said. “(The students) wanted to write stories that were fun and made children happy.” It took a year of perseverance to produce the colourful, high-quality productions. Up to 20 drafts were submitted for each reworked and storyboarded tale. More details were added, a thrilling plot twist thrown in, illustrations created. “These were not written by the children you’d expect,” Ms Thaens said. “Some have had literacy struggles. For some, English is

not their first language.” The students presented their offerings to Ronald McDonald House last month, with esteemed author Andy Griffiths and Greater Dandenong’s councillor Maria Sampey in tow. As well as finding a home in Ronald McDonald House, these books will be kept at the National Library of Australia and State Library of Victoria. Now this writing bug has spread to 70 further storytellers - “even though they know how much work this means.” At the launch, Ms Thaens noticed a hooked reader, whose family uses Ronald McDonald House. “The child was so amazed. He couldn’t believe kids his own age could do this.”

BUSINESS PROFILES

Wellness full circle THE property 327 Gladstone Road North Dandenong situated on the corner of Murray Road North Dandenong has an extensive history. It was untenanted for many years and was in a state of disrepair when Dr Devika Iyer first leased it. After considerable investment Dr Iyer transformed the property to open the doors to her practice in March 1998. Business was slow initially however with the support of Dandenong Journal Newspaper, which published an editorial about the transformation of a run-down premises the practice was able to take off with a new start. Over the years, with the continued support of the community, the business flourished enabling Dr Iyer to purchase her own premises at Waverley Park Stadium. The purpose-built practice took two years to design and build.

The team at Willow Tree Wellness. 132503 Relocation of the practice required a new name of Grandstand Dental Care, appropriate for the location next to the home of the Hawthorn Football Club. “Our patients remained committed throughout and their ongoing referrals enabled the substantial growth of our business. “We now treat many local families as well as the Hawthorn footballers and staff,“ Dr Iyer said. The Gladstone Road property is the practice's second

clinic. The new practice called Willow Tree Wellness will provide patients access to multiple health professionals providing holistic care. This unique facility will provides services such as medical, dental, chiropractic, myotherapy, remedial massage and naturopathy. “We are keen to give back to the community that has embraced us over the years,” said Dr Iyer.

SPORT Taking home a five-kilometre open-water swim win was all in a day’s work for Haileybury Waterlions’ Dean WIlson. 133226

Picture: JARROD POTTER

He’s going the distance By JARROD POTTER MOST people would not want to swim six kilometres in a lifetime, but for Haileybury Waterlions’ open water swimmer Dean Wilson, that was all in a day’s work for the Pier to Pub 5000 champion. Wilson, 16, from Bonbeach, flew through the surf at Lorne last weekend as he claimed the Pier to Pub 5000 - a five-kilometre open water race down the Surf Coast held on Sunday 8 January. His time of 59.03 minutes was the only time for the race under the one-

hour mark as the Waterlions’ dynamo stormed home ahead of Gungahlin’s John Fox and Ivanhoe’s Darius Schultz. “It was good - it was a good course as there was only one lap instead of four and I really liked it… swam pretty well which felt good as well,” Wilson said. “I looked behind and didn’t see much so that was good… there was a big cheer for getting across the line.” He backed up his 5000m victory a few hours later when he re-entered the water and swam the prestigious Pier to Pub - the annual 1.2km open-water

Titans on the move

By JARROD POTTER THE last 12 months have proven the best yet for Dandenong-based rugby-league team South Eastern Titans. The club recently moved to Greaves Reserve from their initial home base at Doveton’s Betula Reserve and it’s paid off in a big way for the rugby-league team. The Titans were able to expand to senior ranks with the relocation - adding a reserve grade senior men’s team in 2014 to great success - and that side has earned a spot in the Victorian Rugby League’s first-grade competition. South Eastern Titans president Andy Tapatuetoa said the expansion into the top grade is a fitting continuation of the great benefit of moving to Greater Dandenong. “Playing in the First grade - this will be our first year - it’s great that there is now a top grade and a pathway for the culture in the club,” Tapatuetoa said. The Titans now boast 15 Vic-

torian Rugby League (VRL) teams from over-35 masters, senior men’s first grade, women’s all the way down to the juniors with membership increasing to 264 players across all age groups. The club also expects to boost numbers as the Titans add a women’s full-contact tackle team for the first time in 2015 after the success of the VRL’s Women’s Tackle Gala Days last year. In another change to Victorian rugby league, all teams from a club will travel to a venue with juniors and seniors alike and will play consecutively on the same day, a shift that Tapatuetoa endorses wholeheartedly. “It’s great ... the great thing about the competition is that we travel as a club, so it keeps all the families together,” Tapatuetoa said. “If you have three-or-four kids having them at different venues makes it difficult, but having that new structure of how the games are played is a great change.” The South Eastern Titans will hold their Registration Day this Saturday, 24 January between 10am-5pm at Amart Sports Dandenong, 55-67 Frankston-Dandenong Road, Dandenong with a sausage sizzle and 20 per cent off sports gear for newly registered members. For more information on the Titans, contact secretary Maria Wilson on 0415 521 978 or maria@setitans.com.

race held since the 1970s. Wilson was pipped into ninth position in the Open Male category - finishing 15th overall. He was in contention for a topfour spot, riding on the last breaking wave with five other swimmers, before a sprint to the line pushed him down the pack to finish the day with another starring performance. “I was four seconds behind third place - we all came off the same wave, so it was the run over the beach which made the difference,” Wilson said. Haileybury Waterlions’ swimming

coach Wayne Lawes - said the progress the open-water dynamo has shown in a couple of years has been extremely impressive. “He’s developed a long way but I think the main thing now is his work ethic and his willingness to work hard,” Lawes said. “We’ve still got a lot of development left to go and he’s been working extremely hard this season… it’s been a gradual progression. “In the next couple of seasons that’s where we hope to see the big rewards

from what he’s doing as it will take those three or four years to get the background to do the 10km properly, but his attitude is fantastic for that sort of work.” Wilson’s next goal is to excel once again at the Swimming Australia Open Water Championships, held in Fremantle Perth next month where he will compete in the 5km and 10km events. He finished second in the 10km and third in the 5km race at last year’s Open Water Championships, which were held in Geelong

WNBL - Round 13

Spirited leap for Rangers By JARROD POTTER FROM WNBL giant killers to giants in their own right, Dandenong Rangers have stormed up the WNBL ladder to take third spot after an 89-82 win over second place Bendigo Spirit. Erasing a 12-game consecutive losing streak to the Spirit, Dandenong took control of the battle early and made sure the hoodoo would be wiped clean ahead of the final phase of the regular season. Team defence was the highlight of the first half as countless Rangers threw themselves head-first in for rebounds, blocks and steals. The Rangers unit proved difficult for Bendigo to penetrate as Tegan Cunningham (8 points, 10 rebounds) continued her rich form at both ends as she thrives as a defensive powerhouse. Also flourishing whatever the situation, Alice Kunek (21 points), Penny Taylor (19 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists) and Cappie Pondexter (17 points, 8rebounds, 6 assists) flung themselves at anything airborne to show the Spirit the Rangers’ once sparse defending was long gone. Kunek then made her biggest impact on the match from long-range as she lit

up the court when it counted most in the second half. Her 17 points after half-time - including back-to-back threes through the third term - gave the Australian Opals’ representative her third match over 20 points this season with all of them happening in the current winning streak. Despite the margin blowing out to 14 points late in the match, there was life yet in Bendigo as Kelsey Griffin turned the game on its head through the fourth term. The WNBA forward shot out to a match-high 23 points and clasped seven rebounds to give Bendigo a last-ditch attempt at victory as the margin was reeled back to only four. Dandenong struggled to get on the scoreboard for nearly three minutes in the last term before tipping the tables back in their favour as Griffin was ejected from the game with five fouls. When Griffin fouled out, Dandenong regained control through the cooler heads of their experienced tandem Taylor and Pondexter to eke out the seven-point triumph to take their sixth win in a row. Mark Wright said the win was all the better for Dandenong’s ability to cover the gaping hole in their roster as

From the starting five all the way down the bench, Wright was impressed with the Rangers’ resolve and knows it will be needed if the Rangers want to keep the wins coming. “They let Alice Kunek get a look and when Cappie and Penny are playing like that

and we have Kath as well, Alice is going to get her looks as they can’t cover off on everyone,” Wright said. “Tegan had a great game, Pickrel was fantastic and you have to play well when you play teams like these; unless everyone plays well you can’t win.” A seventh win in a row is up for grabs as Dandenong faces Adelaide at home on Friday night from 7.30pm.

SPORT DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - TURF 1 Round 8 (day 1)

Wounded Bulls spit blood By JARROD POTTER ON THE hunt for its first outright victory, Springvale South butchered Dandenong West and left nothing on the carcass.

SPRINGVALE STH v DANDENONG WEST CARVING up the Bulls - Springvale South (5/118dec) took the first innings points and set Dandenong West (95 and 0/20) a monumental challenge to stave off outright defeat. Ruwantha Kellepotha (6/24) came into the attack after Yoshan Kumara (2/30) and Jarrod Armitage (1/20) peppered the Bulls’ top order with bouncers and hazard-ball yorkers. Sanjeewa Udahagamadedara (21) and Matt Collett (28) showed the only significant resistance to the beguiling spin of Kellepotha - who notched his sixth five-wicket haul in Turf 1 in only two seasons. Kellepotha ran through the tail in his signature style, leaving the Bloods to flay first innings victory following a tonking session off 33 overs. Steve Masterson (26) and Dylan Quirk (19 not out) secured the win before Craig Slocombe sent Dandenong West back in for one last challenge. The Bulls would survive the final seven overs unscathed.

BERWICK v PARKFIELD A ROLLER-COASTER ride at Arch Brown Reserve left Berwick (0/13) with the honours on day one as Parkfield threw it away not once, but thrice. The

opening initiative failed spectacularly as the top-order crumbled. Leaving the effort to Nilochana Perera (54) and Travis D’Souza (35), the duo notched 85 together and looked set to turn the tables on the Bears before a pre-tea collapse. Losing four wickets in quick succession - the Perera/D’Souza partnership was broken by a careless “yes-no” runout before Brad Baptist (0), Perera and Matt Aslett (0) succumbed. It left the last battle to be fought by the Parkfield tail as Mike Willmott (31 not out) and captain Shane Bell (25) turned a sub-par tally into something fortified. Berwick is 0/13 overnight off its 10 overs.

NORTH DANDENONG v BUCKLEY RIDGES RIPPED apart viciously by the North Dandenong (8/125) attack, Buckley Ridges (60) was left to pick up the pieces after conceding first innings points. Shane Neeson (4/11) and Jurgen Andersen (3/12) ensured it would only take 37 overs to smash through the Ridges’ order as Paul Rudd and returning club champion Shane D’Rozario (14) put something on the scoreboard. Backing up their aggression with the ball, the North Dandenong batting rocketed along as Alex Blake (39), Caleb Millman (30) and Shane Neeson (20 not out) kept the tempo ticking along after the top-order fell for next to nothing. Whether they declare before resumption or set a tough tally for Buck-

ley Ridges will dictate the Northerners chances of moving up from seventh on the DDCA Turf 1 ladder.

COOMOORA v HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTS REMAINING in the balance, Coomoora (142) can still escape with its inaugural win of the season as Heinz Southern Districts (5/99) lurched towards the first innings victory. Joel Robertson (36) showed the needed grit to push the Kangaroos past 100 and towards something marginally respectable as Heinz tandem Paul Stockdale (4/62) and Michael Davies (3/23) razed any batsman who crossed their path. The Cobra retaliation was comfortable before Adam Semmens (49) and Shehan Bandaranayake (22) fell to Saliya Saman (2/18) and Robertson (2/22), leaving Heinz’s lower order exposed with 43 left to attain next week.

MORDIALLOC v LYNDALE JAIME Brohier (55) continued his stellar season to push Lyndale (173) into a reasonable position against Mordialloc. Brohier and captain Ciaron Connolly (28) notched 64 for the fifth wicket after Stuart Squires (4/55) and Chathura Athukorala (2/12) rampaged through the visitors’ top order. Gutsy lowerorder batting from Aaron O’Dath (21) and Ricky Foulstone (21) pushed the scoreline along as Lyndale managed to bat out their overs and set 173 for the Bloodhounds.

PREMIER CRICKET - Round 13 (One day)

A final foray By JARROD POTTER ONE last salvo between Dandenong (172) and HawthornMonash University (8/175) would prove a fitting end to the clubs’ separate histories. With the sides merging next season, as Monash University could not ensure the field-space for the cricket club next season onwards, this proved the final fixture in a lengthy cross-town rivalry as the Hawks won the toss and sent their soon-to-be teammates in to bat. It would be a diabolical innings from Dandenong as only the stellar effort of Sri Lankan opening batsman Kaushal Silva (68) - playing for the Panthers throughout January - and Peter Sweeney

(43 not out) gave the visitors something tangible to defend. The top order buckled against the Hawks’ attack as Javed Khan (5/21) steamed in to rattle Tom Donnell’s (0) pegs before finding a featheredge from Brett Forsyth (2). James Pattinson (6) - on his Victorian Premier Cricket return after Big Bash duties with the Melbourne Renegades - scratched his way in, but Benny Howell (4/31) sent the Test international packing with the slower ball, catching Pattinson off-guard as he lobbed a simple catch to Ahilan Sivakumaran. The Silva/Sweeney tandem notched 60 for the fifth wicket before Silva was trapped in front by Caleb Grant (1/33), leaving Swee-

Kaushal Silva’s maiden Premier Cricket half-century was not enough to help Dandenong claim victory in the final clash between the two merging sides. 133228 Picture: JARROD POTTER ney to bat with the tail and force the score line along. United with usual middle-order batsman Cameron Forsyth (18), batting at nine this week, Sweeney was able to push the tally to 172 and give the Panthers something defendable. The Hawks struggled to

knock off the tally, despite at one stage cruising with 2/100. Dandenong faced Prahran in a Twenty20 match at Shepley Oval on Sunday after the Journal went to print. Dandenong will now battle CaseySouth Melbourne in another cross-town derby, starting this weekend at Casey Fields.

Dandenong West’s Ash Stephens copped a bouncer to the throat in a frenetic spell from Springvale South’s Yoshan Kumara. 133229 Pictures: JARROD POTTER

VSDCA - SOUTH EAST 1st XI Round 9 (Day 1)

Early form on the turn By JARROD POTTER

ENDEAVOUR HILLS v BRIGHTON

NOBLE PARK v ELSTERNWICK

ENDEAVOUR Hills (193) virtually matched the Bulls to set a headache-induced chase for Brighton. Starts through the top and middle order pushed through a sizeable tally, but no one managed to convert their 20-30 into a big score to really tip the match in the Eagles’ favour. Justin Merlino (48) fared best for the home side, as he carried on the strong start from Thomas Hafil (34) and Dayle Olson (28). Brighton started to shine as wickets fell in clumps at the hands of James Harrod (4/35) and a superb 27over spell from Jack Rutter (4/92). Richard Saniga (30 not out) shored up the lower order as the veteran all-rounder resisted a quick exit from the home field. Lasting all but the final three overs, the Eagles posted 193 to give Brighton something meaty to chase and can hopefully snap a three-game losing streak for Endeavour Hills. Day two of Round 9 was completed on Sunday after the Journal went to press, final scores are available on the Journal website.

EARLY carnage was amended by Rob Johnston as Noble Park (194) continues to post strong tallies and make another play to creep up the VSDCA South-East ladder. Jake Richardson (36) had to watch on as his partners at the other end succumbed rapidly. Val Holten Medal contender Issy Perera (19) wasn’t able to add much to the tally as it fell to Johnston (69 not out) to get the job done. Johnston showed his spot in the Bulls line-up was warranted as he etched out a steadfast 157-ball half-ton to keep the Noble Park scoreboard ticking over. His contributions guided the tail as Rizan Mawzoon (20) and Jaye Edmunds (24) held on to give Johnston enough support at the non-striker’s end. A win and results falling their way could push the Bulls up to third on the ladder, to completely turn around the reigning premiers’ early form where they sat outside the top 10.

BROOKE Ennis’s reputation as one of the state’s best young trainers continues to grow following a winning treble at Sandown Park on Thursday evening. Ennis, who enjoyed a breakout 2014 that saw her train 116 winners on Victorian tracks at a stunning strike rate of 37 per cent, opened the night’s meeting on a positive note when Repayments scored for the fourth time in five starts in 29.45. The exciting Deadly Vane won at his Sandown Park debut, scoring the opening leg of the quaddie in a slick best-of-night time of 29.29 seconds. Ennis completed her treble when Margins closed out the meeting with an impressive last-to-first run in 29.30. “The team is going well,” said Brooke’s husband, Jamie. “They’re an exciting group, they just need a bit of luck early and they’re all capable of running serious times.” While the Group 2 Launceston Cup had been pencilled in as the team’s short term target, Deadly Vane’s impressive performance has Ennis considering a bigger stage for the speedster. “He hasn’t raced in town

Big boots to fill, eh brah! By EWAN KENNEDY REMEMBER when utes were just that, utility vehicles? Cargo carriers with a sedan front end and a big tray behind into which lots of stuff could be stuffed. Some still do use their utes in the old-fashioned way, to cart things, but many are now bought as large sportscars with extraordinary large boots. Utes, such as the Holden SV6 Ute that spent time in our driveway last week, are increasingly popular with ‘the boys’ and sometimes girls as well. Many external styling changes to the VF Ute distinguish it from the VE Ute it supersedes. The new front gives it a stockier look, partly because the bonnet has been raised to incorporate pedestrian protection but also to follow the global General Motors latest design theme. Although it’s built on the same platform as the VE Commodore, about 60 per cent of chassis components have been either modified or replaced. The use of an aluminium bonnet has trimmed a bit off the mass of the Ute, but it’s still a large hefty vehicle. While the VF sedan has significantly different styling at the rear, the Ute and station wagon remain much the same as before. Changes to the interior are extensive and give the VF Commodore a fresh, modern look. The centrepiece is the large, easyto-read eight-inch colour touchscreen

with well-spaced controls that are big enough to avoid hitting two-buttons at the same time. Visibility outwards is still marred by the wide A-pillars that we have been complaining about since the launch of the VE Commodore. Some alterations have been made to the trim to try and cure this. Slimming the underlying metal was going to be expensive so we will have to live with the need to move our heads about to negate the blind spots created by those big pillars. The awkward handbrake we found irritating in the VE Commodore for so many years has finally been replaced by a small electric unit in the centre console, it’s so much easier to use. The big VF Commodore Ute lopes along with a minimum of fuss and makes light of coarse-chip road surfaces that can rattle even the most expensive Europeans. It deals with corrugated dirt tracks as though they’re barely there. The phrase ‘built tough for Australia’ is an oldie but a goodie. On the open road the interior of the Commodore is noticeably quieter than before and there are times when you forget you’re driving a commercial vehicle because it feels like a relatively upmarket sedan. The 3.6-litre V6 and the six-speed automatic behind it are both responsive; they communicate electronically with one another to give pleasing

The striking frontal shape of the Holden SV6 Ute puts it deeply into the sports-ute category. amounts of torque at all times. However, the V6 is still not as smooth as similar engines used in many competitors. It’s certainly not as harsh as when first introduced almost a decade ago, but it really should be better. Now, it may never be… Performance is strong, yet fuel consumption is surprisingly low for a big utility. Expect the 3.6 V6 to use about

There’s something just right about settling into these big Holden utilities. They give a feeling of easygoing security on all roads, good, indifferent, bad, awful that’s simply not there on many imported cars. We will miss this ‘something’ when Australian designed and built cars vanish from the motoring scene forever in 2017.
