 Council considers buying land for school that may never be built...

School report By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1170560-ACM06-15

GREATER Dandenong Council will investigate spending up to $6 million on buying land for a possible future state primary school in Keysborough South. A majority of councillors backed a motion by Councillor Peter Brown for an urgent report on suitable nearby land to satisfy the suburb’s “obvious need” for a government primary school of 500 students. The burgeoning suburb, which is fast filling with several thousand homes, is served by three private schools but has no secular, state-run primary or secondary facilities. Residents posting on the council’s ‘Our Say’ Keysborough South online survey have stated that the nearest state schools in Dingley and Keysborough are rapidly filling. Last week one wrote: “There are no local schools within walking distance near the Somerfield estate that cater to non-Christian/Catholic families. “It’s quite difficult finding a local school within walking distance in this area.” Cr Brown said it was timely for the council to show “planning leadership”, buying the land using “the most part” of its $6 million openspace reserve fund. “It’s obvious the availability of land is severely diminished. “If we don’t exercise this visionary leadership the State Government may not have the land to acquire (for a school).” Successive state governments have resisted the council’s pleas to build a primary school in the suburb - which is also isolated from publictransport links.

Under Cr Brown’s plan, the council land would be on-sold to the State Government - when and if it decided to build a primary school - at cost price plus an “opportunity cost” measured in interest terms as well as purchase and on-sale expenses. If the land wasn’t sought for a school, it could be retained for open space or sold off, Cr Brown said. “We can provide leadership for the State Government and provide some sort of security to the residents in the area.” In backing the move, Cr Memeti said the land could also potentially be used for sorely-needed sports grounds. Cr John Kelly, in opposing the “noble idea”, said it was the State Government’s responsibility to buy the land. He said the money was better used on the Springvale civic precinct project or retained for when the council adapts to lower revenues due to rate-capping next year. “For council to spend $6 million, I’d be really disappointed. “We’re not in the education business. We should pursue through our local (MPs) to get on to the Education Department.” An Education Department spokesman said there was currently “capacity” in the Keysborough network to “accommodate short-term growth forecasts”. “The department will continue to work with the City of Greater Dandenong and other relevant stakeholders to monitor and plan for government school provision in the area to ensure families have access to high-quality education as the population continues to grow.”

Drivers get say By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FRUSTRATED drivers and pedestrians are being urged to make their case to jettison Noble Park’s three level-crossings. VicRoads this month launched a community survey on the removal of level crossings at Corrigan, Chandler and Heatherton roads as well as other sites in McKinnon, Bentleigh, St Albans, Mitcham and Bayswater. Greater Dandenong councillor Roz Blades urged residents and others affected by the traffic log-jams at the crossings to make their voices heard. She said it was encouraging that the level crossings could be among the first of 50 level crossings that

the State Government has pledged to remove. She was concerned by “a lot of confusion” among the “multicultural community” about the survey and urged the council to promote it through various media. The council’s pictorial syringe disposal pamphlet could be a template for ensuring non-Englishspeaking background residents understood the different design options - which include lowering the rail line under the road, dipping the road under rail or building a rail or road bridge over the intersection. The council’s preference is for lowering the rail line - like the much-lauded Springvale Road level

crossing removal. “Put a big tick next to the picture of (the design) we support; a big cross next to a picture of what we don’t,” Cr Blades said. The survey asks for comment on matters such as the crossings’ disruptiveness, the frequency of traverses and whether alternative routes exist. Before the last state election, the council lobbied for the crossings’ removal ahead of the South Gippsland Highway and the fatal Abbotts Road crossings in Dandenong South. The council argued that the Noble Park crossings congested roads, delayed bus services, were dangerous and a blight on nearby shops and businesses.

“(Their removal will) importantly underpin the development of Noble Park activity centre.” VicRoads metropolitan projects director Brendan Pauwels said the survey information would influence the order, timing and design of the level-crossing removals. The community consultation would extend to all of the 50 earmarked “most dangerous” level crossings over the next six months. He said a phone translation service was available on 13 14 50 and that survey hard-copies were available. The survey closes at midnight on 19 April.

DANDENONG man Eddie Dobbs’s passion for cars has shaped his life in more ways than one. The motor mechanic runs JD Motors in Dandenong North with his wife Margaret. “She invited me on our first date to a motor race meeting at Calder (Raceway),” he said. “I’ve just loved cars since before I could walk or talk. “I used to ride from Jordanville, where I used to live, on my pushbike out to Fishermans Bend to watch drag racing.” His 1956 FE Holden has taken him to race tracks around the country and will next month be on display at the Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills All Holden Car Show, which raises funds for aid projects.

“The car was originally built up by Graham Blanchard at Blanchard Motors in Springvale,” Mr Dobbs said. He’s been its proud owner since 1984. “We’re kind of the custodians because it’s a part of Australian motor racing history and it should be preserved,” he said. “But it’s a race car and I think it should be out there racing. “The people, wherever it goes, just love it because very few people race early Holdens.” Mr Dobbs has competed in support races for the Australian Formula One Grand Prix in Adelaide and Melbourne, at Eastern Creek in New South Wales and in Tasmania and Queensland. “We’ve even been to Western Australia once,” he said.

COMMUNITY legal centres in Greater Dandenong are celebrating a stunning reversal of hefty funding cuts by the Federal Government last Thursday. Springvale-Monash Legal Service and CaseyCardinia Community Legal Service were each bracing for $200,000 in cuts over the next two years until the backflip.

“It’s great news,“ a relieved SMLS executive director Kristen Wallwork said. “Before they announced it, we’d been doing some future planning and looking at staffing (cuts).“ The service had been relying increasingly on volunteers to prop up its services for 400 clients a month. In January and February that figure soared by an

extra 100. Under increasing demand, it had already cut its service for unaccompanied humanitarian minors. A migration lawyer and migration agent were made redundant. It had also been turning away family violence victims. Ms Wallwork said the service was still unsure if it would retain its general al-

location after May’s budget. CCCLS principal solicitor Vera Hardiman had the pleasing task of cancelling plans to move out of the service's Narre Warren office last Thursday. “We had started pricing equipment ahead of the move,“ she said. “I had to quickly tell the landlord we’re not going to move out (in June) after all.“

The office is vital for helping the Dandenongbased service’s growing list of Casey and Cardinia clients. Federal Attorney-General George Brandis said last week that current funding levels were guaranteed for the legal assistance sector for the next two years. - CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS

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 THARLE STREET, NAMED AFTER ONE OF THE DISTRICT'S PIONEERING FAMILIES.

Family had the meat trade in their blood THARLE Street, Dandenong, named after a family who settled in the area, runs off Cheltenham Road, between Sinclair and Bennet streets. Barton Barnaby Tharle and Louisa Jane Bradley migrated to Australia shortly after they wed on the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England in 1863. They settled on acreage in Dandenong-Frankston Road, Dandenong, in early 1864 and later moved to McCrae Street. They had nine children, including Barton Barnaby junior who became a farmer and auctioneer. He had seven children with wife Emily Jane Hunt and ran slaughter yards in Power Road - now Doveton - and a butcher’s business in Dandenong. In 1919 they brought their home in

The Tharle family in the 1920s, Frederick, Leo Matthews, Mary, Clement, Barton, Louisa, Walter and Arthur Buttler.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? Macpherson Street from Mr Macpherson who had run his private Dandenong Grammar School from the premises. Their eldest child Barton - known as Bart - married Alva Sayers, who played with the Dandenong Croquet Club for 40 years. Bart started in the meat trade at age 14 and with brothers Frank and Victor (Vic) ran a butchery business in Foster Street after their father and uncles sold their butcher’s business in Lonsdale Street. When Frank and Vic decided to leave the business, Bart carried on and at one stage operated four shops. Vic served on the Dandenong Council for several years.

Frank helped his son Bill run a butcher shop in Kirkham Road and their brother Leslie (Les) also worked at the butcher’s shop in Foster Street. Their sister Mabel Louise (Mabe) was an enthusiastic knitter and made baby clothes for Wallara’s opportunity shop. In her early life Florence (Floss)

was employed at Alf Owen’s Hardware Store in Lonsdale Street and as a cashier at the family butcher shop in Foster Street. She cared for her mother in their Macpherson Street home until she died. Brother Brad Tharle ran a taxi service and delivered the first patient

to the new Dandenong hospital. Edwin (Ted) was a keen footballer with the early Dandenong KSP football team and became an apprentice carpenter with Bob Boote when he left school, building many homes in the district. He married Elva and settled in Hammond Road a few doors away from Frank before moving to Macpherson Street. At one stage there were five Tharle family homes in a row in Macpherson Street. Rodney, the only child of Elva and Ted, used to shoot rats at the tip across the road from school with an air rifle and learnt to swim at the Dandy Baths. He met his wife Judith at a dance at Dandenong Town Hall. They married at the Presbyterian Church in Dandenong in 1962 and set up in Cornelius Street, Dandenong.

Driver left crestfallen hicle was a hazard to oncoming 80km/h traffic on the wet road. His car would not be seen by approaching vehicles until they were 50 metres away, First Const Davison said. Police saw a person running “erratically” from the car. After a hunt, they found Sharma hiding behind a parked vehicle in the railway station car park. Sharma denied driving the car, nominating instead a non-drinking friend. However his car keys were revealed when the vehicle Sharma was hiding behind reversed from its parking space.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DRINK-driver who ditched his car dangerously on a crest on Westall Road, Springvale in a vain attempt to avoid a booze bus operation has been disqualified from driving for three years. Nitin Sharma, of Oakleigh South, pleaded guilty to abandoning his unlocked car on the overpass near Westall railway station - just ahead of a booze bus operation - about 10.30pm on 23 August 2013. Police prosecutor First Constable Tess Davison told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday that Sharma’s unlit ve-

The keys fitted the abandoned car’s ignition and locks and the car’s interior “smelt strongly of alcohol“, the court was told. Just after midnight, Sharma recorded a blood-alcohol reading of 0.152 - more than three times the legal limit. He had a zero-alcohol limit on his licence, which has been suspended since the day after the incident. A safety inspection of his car revealed faulty lights and brakes that barely worked, First Const Davision told the court.

Sharma, a security guard, husband and father of two, pleaded guilty to charges of drink-driving, driving an unregistered and unroadworthy vehicle, careless driving, failure to secure his vehicle and stopping his vehicle without visible parking lights. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said leaving a car on the crest of a hill was “incredibly dangerous” to other innocent drivers. He noted Sharma’s previous drinkdriving conviction in 2007. Sharma was convicted, fined $1000 and disqualified from driving for three years - six months more than the minimum sentence.

Guides give girls a path through life munity development officer Erin Wicking said the organisation had focused on increasing diversity in its Greater Dandenong groups over the past 18 months. “We believe Guiding has something unique to offer all girls and women,” she said. Ms Wicking said programs were designed to help empower girls to create positive social change and build their self-reliance and life skills. Girls meet weekly to take part in age appropriate activities ranging from team challenges and outdoor adventures to community action projects and badge work. Ms Wicking said the events developed leadership and decision-making skills and improved their confidence.

“As an organisation we have worked for over a century to help empower generations of girls and women to fulfil their aspirations and so we are delighted to expand the Springvale Guiding community and help foster a new generation of commu-

nity leaders,” she said. The Fairy Guide Unit for girls aged five to nine years meets on Wednesdays from 4.30pm to 6pm and the new Girl Guide Unit for girls aged 10 to 13 years will follow from 7pm to 8.30pm. Call Erin Wicking on 0411

Drugs rip-off By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A TRAFFICKING ice user and father-of-two who blamed a drug customer for giving him counterfeit notes has been jailed for a month. Angelo Bakomihalis, 42, pleaded guilty to trafficking, possessing counterfeit notes and committing an indictable offence while on bail in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday last week. He was also scheduled to face charges in May for two separate matters allegedly committed less than a month after he was released from jail on 17 February. The court was told Bakomihalis unsuccessfully tried to use the notes for a purchase at Waverley Gardens shopping centre while he was on bail on 10 March. He was later searched by police in Dandenong during an intercept of a vehicle he was travelling in. Police found the notes at his feet and he said he received the

notes in exchange for 100 milligrams of ice which he had sold to a female in Cheltenham on 10 March. The accused told police he hadn’t initially known that the notes were counterfeit and intended to swap them for real notes at a bank. Two ice pipes were found during the search - one of them was still warm in the glovebox in front of Bakomihalis, police prosecutor First Constable Tess Davison told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. Bakomihalis’s lawyer told the court that the accused had a “very successful and positive life and employment history” including working in advertising at the Herald-Sun and running his own business. By the time he was 38 years old his marriage had broken down and the the father-of-two descended into ice when his “priors started escalating”, his lawyer said. Bakomihalis, who was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder,

was three weeks into a community corrections order when remanded in custody. “He hasn’t had a chance to engage with drug and alcohol counselling and mental health treatment (as part of the CCO),” the defence lawyer said. The accused’s pending charges in May included possessing amphetamine, theft of a vehicle, handling stolen goods and the suspected proceeds of crime, the court was told. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said it was very difficult to defer sentencing and bail Bakomihalis for the May proceedings because of his alleged reoffending since his recent release from jail on similar offences. He said the accused had been sentenced in November over aggravated burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, driving while suspended, resisting police and weapons and drugs offences. Mr Vandersteen told Bakomilhalis: “You’re making your position worse and worse every step of the way.”

MP to be asked for asylum help GREATER Dandenong Council intends to co-opt Liberal Senator Mitch Fifield to act as a go-between in its campaign for more federal resources for helping asylum seekers living in the community. Last Monday community services director Mark Doubleday said a statement advocating for the cause had been signed by Greater Dandenong and oth-

er Victorian councils. The council was approaching Senator Fifield to “seek an audience” with the government to present the statement, he said. The Mentone-based senator was chosen as the closest federal Liberal MP to Greater Dandenong, Mr Doubleday told the council. According to the councils, asylum seekers are dispropor-

tionately reliant on charities, agencies and volunteers due to a shortage of federal resources. Last week Senator Fifield appeared to support the statusquo. He said the government provided a range of support services for recently settled migrants, including for people seeking to “resolve their immigration status” and refugees.

However he later apologised after realising that Cr Sampey was at another meeting at the time. She told last Monday night's council meeting that when she complained to Mayor Sean O’Reilly he fobbed her off by saying that he was often mistaken for Sunrise presenter David Koch. AND Mayor Sean O’Reilly has been developing his TV star potential - well, almost. He spoke on camera to The Indian Sun about the important role Indian-Australian businesses played in the municipality. The You Tube channel caters to Australia’s Indian community and covers news and issues. MORE than 500 people farewelled Masa Vukotic at Springvale Botanical Cemetery last Thursday. Mourners released pink balloons 17 white

doves for the 17-year-old who was murdered in a Doncaster park on 17 March. A burial in the grounds followed the service. SPRINGVALE Road in Springvale was again among the five worst spots for car crashes, AAMI Crash Index data for 2014 revealed. Princes Highway in Dandenong dropped out of the top five last year but has made a comeback. What would make these roads safer?

The three ideas with the most votes will each win a Visa Gift Card. Visit www.oursay.org/greaterdandenong/ online by Friday 3 April. HONEY from the bees who call Springvale Botanical Cemetery home is heavenly - at least according to the label. The cemetery sells Heavenly Scented Honey from “our bee-utiful bees” and says it couldn’t resist establishing hives with so many bees buzzing around its flower-filled gardens. Have you tried the honey? Visit www.facebook.com/DandenongJournal to let us know.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING RE: Speed limit still static Why hasn’t this been done yet? Do you have to wait for another child to be killed? Bev Brown, via web.

Do you want to see armed guards at the Dandenong Civic Square? Robyn Westbury: Armed guards would take pressure off the police force and make our streets of Dandenong a bit safer, but it is sad that it has come to this.

A LEADER in Dandenong’s Italian community has stepped down from her post after 25 years. Nancy Sciacca founded the Napoli Family Club and celebrated its quarter-century with a lunch at Menzies Avenue Hall in Dandenong North on 19 March. She used the event to step down from the position of president due to ill-health. Frank Di Blasi was at the event and said Ms Sciacca received honorary club life membership. “The extraordinary thing has been that she’s been the president all these 25 years, no-one has challenged her for the position,” he said.

“Nancy’s been the mother figure for the club. “When she gave a speech she said ‘this club has been for me my second home’.” Mr Di Blasi said the senior citizens club had more than 200 members who participated in social activities. “When they are indoors, they play games, do gentle exercises, a variety of things,” he said. “The ladies play tombola like bingo - and the men usually play cards. “They do group outings to different places. “It’s a very good club. It is a well-known and respected club in the Italian community. “People are coming from districts further away - they’re coming from Kooweerup, for

instance,” he said. Mr Di Blasi said Ms Sciaccia had been an important figure in the Italian community and founded an annual catholic festival. “She has co-ordinated volunteers to visit homebound, frail Italian-speaking people in the area,” he said. “She’s a much-respected and esteemed person.” Dandenong’s Giuseppina Lidonnici will take over the reins. “She has been in the committee as a secretary, so maybe the change won’t be very traumatic because she’s already been in the club for many years,” Mr Di Blasi said. “She should be able to continue on where Nancy’s left off.”

What does Easter mean to a sincere Christian???? Easter has long been considered by ‘non Christians’, as a time for ‘the Easter bunny’ who brings ‘Easter eggs’ and, of course, an Easter holiday. Because of time changes and poor record keeping in the early centuries, (It is considered by most, that Christ was actually born AD) it is doubtful that we can be absolutely sure when the Jesus was crucified, but it is at Easter that Christians celebrate for the following reasons, based on the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ …. •฀The฀death฀of฀Jesus฀Christ The Bible tells us that by one 1 man (Adam) sin came into the world and because of sin, death. 12

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned ……. 15But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. (Romans 5:12,15)

Every human being inherits the sin nature which is passed down through Adam’s DNA and sooner or later every young child will sin without being taught it or provoked to it …. It is in our nature. We have all lied, cheated, lusted, coveted, stolen etc so how would we stand before a righteous God on the Day of Judgment??? The price for our sin is eternal separation from God, but the good news is, that Jesus, the Son of God paid the price for us. He suffered terribly for us and experienced separation from His Father so that we would not have to suffer in Hell and that we could be restored to right relationship with our heavenly Father. 16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16,17) •฀His฀burial Many skeptics claim that Jesus never actually died on the Cross, but His burial was strictly supervised by the Pharisees and a guard over Jesus’ tomb was given by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate …. 62

On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, 63saying, “Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise.’ 64Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.” 65Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how.” 66So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard. (Matthew 27:62ff) Clearly, if Jesus claims were false, Christianity would never have been born. Presentation of the body of Jesus Christ would have put an end to the propagation of His Gospel. The฀Resurrection฀of฀Jesus฀Christ฀…. Without the Resurrection of Jesus, there would be no proof that indeed His death atoned (paid) for the sins of the whole world. Those who believe that Jesus has paid the price for their sins have His righteousness imputed (given) to them. It (righteousness) shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25who was delivered up (crucified) because of our offenses, and was raised (resurrected) because of our justification. (Romans 4:24f) if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18Then also those who have died in Christ have perished. 19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. 20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:17ff) Christians praise God for the forgiveness of sin, the promise of eternal life and the availability of relationship with God …. Something indeed to celebrate.

OPENING BID - TESTIMONIAL

Clark NEERIM SOUTH

195 SHEFFIELD ROAD

C REAL ESTATE TESTIMONIAL THE day that Nik knocked on our door and introduced himself, we just knew straight away that he was going to be the one ... to sell our house, of course! I cannot hold an agent more highly than I can hold Nik. Besides being professional, he was genuine and didn’t beat around the bush. From day one he was patient with us as we pushed our first open back a few times due to painting, de-cluttering (30 years of clutter) and other jobs. He never pestered us, he gave us time and support.

He was by our side through the whole process from re-arranging furniture to photos etc. We set the price we wanted ... and he assured we would meet that plus more! I can tell you that he surely delivered. Three other agents pushed for us to have an auction which we did not want, and greatly undervalued our home. Nik got us $55,000 more than what the other agents said we were looking at. That’s absolutely amazing and comforting. Corey and Varun also played a big part side by

side with Nik and we can’t commend them enough. If there is anyone who wants to sell or buy, The C Real Estate are the only ones I will recommend. They listen and work with their clients, they don’t just tell them what they want to hear. On behalf of Carmel, Rosa, Anthony, Matt, myself (and the kids) we want to thank you all for making a stressful and sad time such an amazing experience! KINDEST REGARDS, MARA, PROSPECT HILL CRESCENT, DANDENONG NORTH 3175.

215 ACRES OF NEERIM SOUTH’S FINEST Beautiful panoramic views is exactly what you can enjoy atop of this beautiful parcel of some of Gippsland’s finest land. This high yield acreage has been lovingly cared for with excellent fencing, laneways and excellent water supply including creek & town water. Currently divided into 25 paddocks easily accessible off the central laneway the farm features, a disused dairy with excellent steel yards, race & undercover cattle handling facilities is still on site as well as three hay sheds for anyone looking to start or expand in dairy/beef production. A modest home 3 bedroom residence features open plan kitchen/meals/family, gas heating and air conditioning. If you’re looking for an excellent grazing farm with great infrastructure then the search is over.

ENZO RAIMONDO

CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

DON’T FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR INVESTMENT Australians love bricks and mortar. Not only is home ownership the great Australian dream, but when we have spare cash to invest or have paid off the mortgage and want to put our equity to work, many of us turn again to property, buying for investment. While the term ‘property investor’ conjures visions of an individual with a broad property portfolio, it actually applies to many of us. According to the Real Estate Institute of Australia, the latest taxation statistics show 14.9 per cent of taxpayers are investors in the residential property market. The majority of those are ordinary “mums and dads” with only one investment property.

In the latest available statistics, 2010-11, 73 per cent of investors had only one such property. And in the previous five years there was substantial growth in the number of such investors. For most of us negative gearing which enables investors to claim a tax deduction for expenses on an investment property - provides an opportunity, and incentive, to invest. However, it’s important to remember that the same principles apply when buying an investment property as when buying your own home. In particular, any investment purchase should be underpinned by thorough research. This includes viewing the property, preferably several times.

After deciding on preferred locations and whether to buy a house or apartment, start by checking out median prices in those areas. Consult your bank, draw up your budget and be clear about your maximum price. There are many great properties out there, do not be tempted to exceed your maximum if you find “the right” one. Make a list of features you must have and those on which you would compromise. Remember, this is a rental; those criteria may be very different from those for your home. For example, you may be willing to spend time on a high maintenance, hard-to-clean home, but a rental

property should be hard wearing and easy to maintain. Think about what would make your property attractive to tenants. For example, you may enjoy driving to work, but rental property proximity to public transport is essential. If buying a family home to rent out, is it near schools? If buying a trendy apartment, tenants will want cafes nearby. Most importantly, put aside emotion. When buying your home you are looking for “the one”. But you don’t have to love your investment property - it needs to meet a particular purpose, and do that job well.

Festival paints its faces of fun

IN BRIEF Plan gets bad prognosis

CULTURAL Diversity Week celebrations at Dandenong West Primary School culminated in a free family fun festival. The 20 March community event also marked Harmony Day and was a Dandenong West Community Hub initiative. The hub is located at the school and promotes a sense of belonging and community connection, links families to services and support networks, and provides education opportunities. Festival-goers enjoyed face painting, cultural performances, an animal farm, car boot sale, jumping castle and more.

A PROPOSED Noble Park medical centre has been rejected by Greater Dandenong Council due to parking shortage concerns. Plans for the centre, which propose five health providers during weekdays at 15-35 Frank Street, does not include on-site parking. The council estimates it will reduce available parking by 17 spaces - causing safety, amenity and “undue detriment”. Last Monday, Councillor Roz Blades successfully passed a motion for the council to perform a traffic and parking study of surrounding streets.

Disabled letter scam handicapped by poor abilities A POORLY scripted scam targeting disabled drivers did not fool a Berwick woman who found a letter in her mailbox earlier this month. Angela Allan arrived home from work on Wednesday 11 March to find a letter addressed to “disabled driver” in her mailbox. The non-disabled driver opened the letter to find she had been ‘fined’ for parking illegally in a disabled park in the

City of Greater Dandenong and was required to deposit an undisclosed amount of money in an unconfirmed bank account. “It’s obviously a scam. I never even go to Dandenong,” she said. The letter, which is rife with spelling mistakes and formatting errors, used the City of Greater Dandenong’s logo in the letterhead - but that’s the only thing the scammers seem to have got right.

The council’s regulatory services manager Peter Shelton said the scam was news to him and he was fairly certain that police officer “Tim Harddoneby” wouldn’t quite get the pennies he was after. “In looking at the document, it is evident that it is a poorly constructed hoax,“ he said. “It is printed on a blank sheet of paper, there’s no council contact information, no reference to acts or other legis-

lation, nor is there any information on how to request a review of the notice. “In these matters, all enforcement agencies must use forms which comply with legislative standards and include detailed information on the alleged matter.” The women reported the letter - which strangely also came with a fake disabled parking Angela is unsure if the hoaxers permit - to Dandenong police. were after her money or just trying - ANEEKA SIMONIS to be humorous. 136200

ENTERTAINMENT

A PLANNED three-storey apartment building in Dandenong has been amended to appease objector concerns about overlooking neighbouring properties. Under an alternative motion by Cr Matthew Kirwan on Monday, the courtyards, windows and balconies would be further restricted on the 18-unit building at 22 Hemmings Street. Objectors were also concerned about possible car parking shortages.

Men in night gang robbery

Library comes to life CAKE, balloons, storytelling and magic marked Dandenong Library’s first birthday on Saturday 21 March. The library was a hive of activity as bookworms young and old enjoyed board games and Lego play, listened to stories told aloud by award-winning storyteller Jackie Kerin and marvelled at the skill of Marco the Magician. As reported in last week’s Journal, in the past year 875,328 people walked through the doors of the library and membership rose from 66,000 to 73,000. Meanwhile, the former Stuart Street library’s demolition was confirmed by the council

last week. In a report to council, officers stated there were “no compelling submissions” to keep the building given the estimated $1.5 million cost to refurbish it for community use. Instead the site will be used to extend the Dandenong Market car park and enable space for alfresco dining at the market. The council’s maternal and child health services and toy library buildings in Stuart Street will also be demolished and replaced by “grass cover”. The services will be moved to more spacious digs at the council’s nearby Clow Street offices.

Sughra, Salim and Arif Murhtari joined the festivities.

The Greater Dandenong Volunteer Resource Service, Greater Dandenong Interfaith Network and Dandenong Community Advisory Bureau will also move to the offices. Cr Matthew Kirwan had lobbied for the library building to be retained for use of Dandenong Neighbourhood House’s expanding programs. Instead, a recently-bought property at 18 Stuart Street will be a short-term extra home for the neighbourhood house. “It is not a long term solution – a Dandenong Community Hub is a long term solution – however it is a big improvement on the current situation,” Cr Kirwan said.

Enjoying the library celebrations were Radha Bisht with little Kavya and Deepti Sood with daughter Ira Sood.

FIVE men assaulted and robbed a man and woman who were walking through central Dandenong. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Mark Higgins said the victims, aged 32 and 34, from Dandenong, were walking north on Lonsdale Street about 10pm on 17 March. A man of African appearance started abusing them from across the street when they approached Clow Street. Sen Const Higgins said the man approached them and had started assaulting them when a black Nissan four-wheel drive pulled up. Four men got out and helped the attacker to steal a mobile phone and wallet from the victims. The five men then left in the vehicle. He urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Cash injection for growth By CASEY NEILL FIVE Greater Dandenong businesses have received a leg-up towards their dreams. City of Greater Dandenong last Wednesday, 25 March, announced five recipients for its Business Grants Program which was launched last year. Four were from Dandenong South - timber window manufacturer 363 Enterprises, electronic waste recycling business Quantum Recycling Solutions, fire protection equipment manufacturer and servicer Ruson Fire Division of Power Industries Australia, and Russianstyle dumpling manufacturer From Granny. Dandy Naan and Kebab in Dandenong bakes Persian flat bread called sangak and was also applauded at the Dandenong Civic Centre presentation. Each business will be reimbursed for up to $8000 it spends and will receive about $2000 in advice from the Small Business Mentoring Service and marketing. Bill Underwood from the council’s Economic Development Unit manages the grants program which is designed to encourage business growth, attract investment and generate jobs. He said the recipients would develop financial and marketing plans, explore business growth opportunities and more to “get maximum advantage out of the cash”. Bert Glinka and Brendan D’Amelio from inaugural business grant recipient Young Uncles Coffee and Sandwich Bar spoke at last week’s ceremony. “The investment can give you that extra push to really make something out of what you believe and what you’re passionate about,” Mr Glinka said. The brothers-in-law used their grant for a coffee machine and out-

door seating. “It meant that we could produce the product that we believe in,” he said. “We initially intended to double our coffee sales. “When we first applied for the grant I think we were doing about 50 coffees a day. Now we’re pushing 150, sometimes 200 on a day.” Mr Glinka said the marketing package, which included coverage in the Journal, lifted the cafe’s profile. “We were getting some calls from suppliers congratulating us and a bit of social media activity,” he said. “My tip is - know when it’s going to be published and be prepared for the extra onslaught of people.” Young Uncles has employed two new staff thanks to business growth the grant generated. “The mentoring side of it was really helpful as well,” Mr Glinka said. “One of the main take-outs for us was that we are well within our rights as business owners with future visions to focus on growing the business, and not necessarily doing the day-to-day activities.” They learnt to put processes in place to keep their products true to their vision without their presence, and developed valuable relationships with Greater Dandenong’s business minds. “I’m sure you’re here because you love what you’re doing. Don’t lose sight of that,” Mr Glinka told this year’s recipients. “Hopefully, with this package it will enable you to do it better and bring in some extra money for you to keep reinvesting and growing your business.” The Journal supports the grants program and will profile each of the successful businesses in the coming weeks.

Market chairwoman sets out her wares at conference DANDENONG Market has shared the secrets to its success with market bosses from around the world. Market chairwoman Julie Busch was invited to speak on 26 March at the ninth International Public Markets Conference in Barcelona. She discussed the role Dandenong Market played in creating jobs and business opportunities for emerging communities.

“The growth and prosperity of Dandenong has been closely linked to the success of the market from the earliest days,” she said last week. “The market has been the cornerstone of bustling community life for almost 150 years - a place of employment and economic contribution, a place of community and shelter and, importantly, a beginning for so many different nationalities to become

merchants and traders.” Ms Busch shared a panel with representatives from the City of Torino in Italy, UN Women in Papua New Guinea, and the USA’s Marshall University. Project for Public Spaces (PPS) presented the three-day conference with support from co-hosts UN Habitat and the Institut Municipal de Mercats de Barcelona.

Its focus was on new trends and innovations for preserving and revitalising public markets, and why markets were a cost-effective investment for cities. The City of Greater Dandenong completed a $26 million redevelopment at Dandenong Market between 2005 and 2010. “The City of Greater Dandenong has long supported and championed

Dandenong Market,” Ms Busch said. “The council continues to invest in building the market’s reputation as a local icon by supporting headline events at the market, including Dandenong World Fare and the Family Sustainability Festival.” Did you get your start in business at Dandenong Market?

The Wright replacement By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG didn’t have to venture far to find its new WNBL coach after Rangers’ SEABL coach Larissa Anderson signed on the dotted line ahead of the 2015/16 season. Already adept at training Dandenong teams to win titles, the three-time SEABL championship winning coach Anderson will return to the WNBL eight seasons after her retirement as a player. “I’m very excited to get the opportunity to give the higher level a crack,” Anderson said. “Very humbled and very honoured… it’s something obviously I’ve been working hard towards and could only dream that one day it happens… so for it to happen now it’s quite surreal.” It’s fitting that 20 years on from donning the Rangers’ jersey for the first time herself, Anderson is back on the sidelines to take the reins of the three-time WNBL champions ahead of their 24th season. “I only just realised a couple of days ago it’s been 20 years to the day since I played my first WNBL game for the Rangers and it adds that whole new component,” Anderson said. “It’s really special to think 20 years on I’m going to be the first female WNBL coach at the Rangers in my first WNBL gig - I think that’s pretty special.” The WNBL life-member - who played at Bulleen and Dandenong throughout a 10-season career - has recently guided Dandenong’s SE-

ABL team to a three-peat from 2010 to 2012, sides under Anderson’s tutelage have rarely fallen far down the ladder since she began coaching in 2004. She’ll replace outgoing Rangers’ coach Mark Wright - who was at the helm of the Rangers for the last five seasons, including five finals’ berths and a championship in 2011/12. Anderson’s first challenge at the helm will be her biggest, as Dandenong attempts to resign both Penny Taylor and WNBA champion Cappie Pondexter or finding sufficient firepower to cover their losses. “The biggest priority obviously is to chat to all the existing players and coaches and try and keep as many of the core group together moving forward,” Anderson said. “I think most of the time they showed good chemistry together on court, so it would be great to at least keep a good core group together.” With players like Lauren Scherf, Amanda Meinking, Rachael Antoniadou, Tenaya Phillips all rising through the ranks of Anderson’s SEABL team, there won’t be many surprises for the 250-game WNBL veteran with her roster ahead of her inaugural coaching campaign, starting in October. “This is their chance to work really hard through the SEABL season and for me to have a look at where everyone is at,” Anderson said. “It’s really exciting and we’re really blessed at Dandenong to have such a great talent pool to

we go because I’m very mindful of the family and not burning out so we need to be smart about it. “For now it is lots of hard work to put in for the WNBL so it’s a busy, but exciting time.” Dandenong Basketball Association CEO David Graham said Anderson’s on-and-off court record speaks for itself and she would be a great asset for the club. “Larissa’s coaching credentials have been impressive in the SEABL competition to date and we’re all confident that she’ll be successful at WNBL level,” he said. “She has great rapport with players and we feel, amongst many other criteria, that this is important in our push for the club’s next WNBL title.”

Our Dandy Stars

By JARROD POTTER SMASHING apart the Western Region Football League (WRFL), six Noble Park footballers played exceptionally to guide Eastern Football League (EFL) back towards the top of the AFL Victoria Metropolitan Championships. Six of the best Bulls - Stewart Kemperman, Shayne Allan, Glen Manson, Ziggy Alwan, Jackson Sketcher and Sam Monaghan - took to Princes Park on Saturday with one mission: returning the Eastern Football League to the top echelon of the Metro rankings. The best efforts of the WRFL weren’t enough to match pace with Eastern’s power packed midfield or its high-flying forwards. Despite a gallant fight back from the underdog Westerners, the Eastern force charged ahead to record an emphatic 34-point win. It was a Noble Park flavour to the start of the match as Shayne Allan (three goals) slotted the EFL’s first of 13 for the interleague clash. Glen Manson’s efforts through the ruck gave the red, white and black brigade first use of the pill as Eastern ran out to a three-goal lead at half-time. Showing why he will be a handful back in the Eastern league this year, Bulls’ forward Ziggy Alwan (two goals) popped up for characteristic strong marks and two goals in a sign of things to come. Also making the switch from Frankston Dolphins to the Bullring, former Noble Park junior Jackson Sketcher popped up for the match-clinching goal in a superb effort throughout the forward half. Balwyn’s Luke Barker (four goals) led the EFL charge while Norwood’s Matt Aver was named the EFL’s best on ground medallist. The win promotes the EFL back in to the battle-for-first and will face the VAFA in next year’s AFL Victoria Metropolitan Championship clash.

Clinching the state cricketing body’s highest photographic accolade was Dandenong Journal photojournalist Jarrod Potter. Jarrod was named the Photography Award winner for his picture of Dandenong Cricket Club’s simple tribute to deceased Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes at the Cricket Victoria State and Media Awards night. Doubling the Star News Group success on the night was Sports Editor David Nagel, who claimed the Country Award for his profile of Peter ‘Bun’ O’Hare, who tragically passed away days after the article was written.

St John’s first Hall of Famer By JARROD POTTER IF IT’S season launch is any indication of things to come expect a successful, but at the same time hugely celebrated, season from St John’s OC Football Club. Green, yellow and black could be seen for miles around St Mary’s Community Centre on Friday afternoon as the Victorian Amateur Football Association’s (VAFA) Division-2 side ushered in 2015 in fitting fashion as Dandenong’s highest ranked amateur football team. With special guests Peter Daicos, Mark Maclure, Simon Helmot all led warmly by MC Tiffa-

ny Cherry, around 100 JOC’s players, committee members and supporters commenced their season in spectacular style, which also served as celebration for its 25th anniversary. With the foundations formed in 1990, St John’s has gone from strength-to-strength as it hoists its way up the VAFA divisional structure. Division 2 is hopefully only a stepping stone for the side which has lofty ambitions of rising into the Premier ranks of the 123-year old metropolitan football league in years to come. A feeder-team agreement with South East Juniors club Fountain Gate is set to help St John’s recruit the next great VAFA stars and potentially

find new inductees to its newly launched Hall of Fame. One of its champions from the initial era was duly recognised for his achievements on and off the field as Brendon La’Brooy was announced as the JOCs first Hall of Fame candidate. A former St John’s captain and Victorian representative, La’Brooy was thrilled to be the first JOC inducted into the prestigious group and believes the friendships they made were just as important as the flags they won. “I’m just totally overwhelmed, it’s unbelievable,” La’Brooy said. “Totally shocked, especially with the likes of some of the guys I grew up playing footy with being such a big part of the footy club. “We had a great group of people, champion people, administration, coaching and guys that worked tirelessly towards contributing to the

footy club. “We were just a group of mates and thought ‘let’s have a crack’ and we were successful. “Whether we won, lost or drew, we’d have a great time.” St John’s also announced its leadership group for the senior side at the luncheon as it has given the co-captaincy to Glenn Costas and Liam Mara while there will also be co-vice captains in Liam Connor and Daniel Cattolico. With returning premiership coach Ben McGee at the helm, the VAFA season starts for St John’s - running seniors and reserves in 2015 - next Saturday as it heads to Melbourne High School to face the Old Boys from 2pm. Sponsorship packages and memberships for the club are still available - for more information, contact club secretary Chris Swinburne at sec_stjohns@hotmail.com.

Stingrays flounder in Power’s almighty current By JARROD POTTER WELCOME to the big league. It was a harsh arrival for the Dandenong Stingrays as the visitors were shown very little hospitality in a 5.9 (39) to 14.10 (94) Gippsland-style dissection. The Power was well-and-truly on while the Stingrays floundered as lateral switches in the defensive end and a shocking kicking efficiency proving lethal for Dandenong throughout the clash. The switching and kicking left little doubt to the crowd who was in charge as Dandenong’s lack of football acumen was inverted by the Power, who worked to the fall of the ball, fought for each other and made a contest of every stoppage. Dandenong held on throughout the first term - snaring the early lead through skipper Lachlan Williams (two goals) and fresh-faced forward Josh Battle (two goals) - before the Power took the lead and refused to give it back for the rest of the afternoon. Defender Brandon White was positive early - affecting a number of spoils across centre-half-back - but would be brought back to earth, like the majority of his team mates, in an overwhelming display of Gippsland’s power. The home side flexed its muscles through the second term - restricting Dandenong to a dying minutes’ goal from Battle while at the other end booting four of their own as Nick Argento (two goals) snuck under the packs and worked his way onto the scoreboard. Bailey Rice (hip) didn’t return to the match after half-time and the Stingrays were left with no bench in

the last quarter as cramp and fatigue decimated coach Craig Black’s rotations. Dandenong would be held goalless in the final term but it could’ve been a lot worse as Gippsland’s only error of the day came from its 10 behinds - missing easy chances in front of goals. Bluntly assessing a poor performance, Black had little praise for his side who were well-and-truly smashed from pillar-to-post by the Power. “It was really disappointing,” Black said. “I think all our preparation had been going alright… to turn up and dish out a performance like that is pretty ordinary from the group.” Dandenong had a hard time finding a best six throughout the mediocre effort, but Harry Prior, Battle and White proved best afield while the captain also kept his cool to affect the contest and continued to toil for the Stingrays in the despondent display.“Harry Prior worked really hard at centre-halfforward without the reward, and Josh Battle for his first game in the TAC Cup - he’s a 17-year-old - I thought competed really well,” Black said. “They didn’t kick the goals, but we didn’t kick it that well to them either.” The Power’s Ben Ainsworth (five goals) and leaping Harry McKay (four goals) had the ball on a tether while Tate Marsh and Deven Costigan proved elite in the first run-around of the season. Dandenong faces Geelong Falcons at Shepley Oval on Easter Saturday from 1pm.

Fever improves By MICHAEL FLOYD

Setting the pace in the Criterium, Southern Masters Cycling Club ventured out to do battle at the Casey Cycling Carnival. 136457 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Greying MAMILs hit the road Excelling on line and length is what you’d expect from former international cricketer Darren Pattinson and his aptly named Express Pace. 136881 just that when winning his heat in 29.43. Trained by former Victorian fast bowler Darren Pattinson and owned in conjunction with his brother, Australian Test fast bowler James, Express Pace showed both speed and strength to earn a tilt at his second Group title. “The inside draw made a big difference,” Darren Pattinson said. “He didn’t go too well in his first start here, but I’d only given him a hand slip in the lead up and he got a little lost around the first turn. “He’s really strong in the run to the line but he needed to step cleanly and that’s what he did tonight.” Express Pace won the Group 3 GRV VBIS Maiden at The Meadows in

March, and a win in the final would catapult his earnings to over $180,000 from just six career starts. Geelong based trainers claimed the remaining five heats, with Andrea Dailly duo Usain I’m Nutty and Lektra Concord joining Rocka Hula Baby for Kelly Bravo, Gaucho for Brooke Ennis, and Targayen for Robert Britton in the final. Just three lengths separate the finalists based on heat times ensuring an intriguing final. The Razldazl Launching Pad highlights an outstanding card of racing which also features the Listed $36,000 Easter Gift. It is also the club’s annual Easter Kids Fun Night with a host of free activities, prizes and giveaways for the entire family.

By JARROD POTTER MAMILS were out in force last Saturday as Southern Masters Cycling Club (SMCC) took to Casey Fields Criterium. That’s not a misspelling - Middle Aged Men in Lycra (MAMIL), and in certain instances MAWILs, went lap for lap around the criterium as part of the club’s Casey Cycling Carnival. The region’s only all-age cycling club showed that while the follicles had greyed, the attitude and intent of the riders certainly hasn’t mellowed as the riders flew out the gates en route to an hour’s worth of frenetic racing.

Bushrangers’ Dandy duo By JARROD POTTER VICTORIAN success was driven by a Dandenong duo as James Pattinson and Peter Siddle helped the Bushrangers hold aloft the 2014/15 Sheffield Shield. Taking the final to Hobart - on account of the Cricket World Cup final this weekend at the MCG - a draw was good enough for Victoria (381 and 4/158) to win the Shield over Western Australia (421 and 2/293dec) Fawad Ahmed (8/89) spun his way towards Test consideration after career best figures to take the best record in a Shield grand final. Siddle (2/67) also chimed in for a couple of wickets in the first innings before Chris Rogers (112) starred with the bat, but the Victorians could not take first innings points away from the Westerners.

It left Adam Voges and his men little time to try and set a defendable tally and bowl out Victoria for the win. Western Australian dynamo Voges (107 and 36 not out) and Marcus Harris (81 and 158 not out) proved exceptional for the visitors, but their efforts could not be replicated with the bowlers as Western Australia struggled to dismiss the Victorians. The Victorians gritted their teeth and stuck to the crease as the retiring David Hussey (37 not out) had a fitting finish to his First Class career - batting in combination with Rob Quiney (53) and Matt Wade (9 not out) to see off 95 overs and take the trophy. It wasn’t the only success Pattinson had this week as he was named Melbourne Renegades’ Player of the Season for his efforts during the summer’s Big Bash competition.

home to victory after a sensational breakaway, beating Damian Gill and Peter Galvin into the minor places, travelling at an average speed of 42km per hour, while B Grade was clinched by John Chipp and C Grade went to Nicky St Clair. The club also gets into Thursday night racing at Sandown Racecourse from 6.05pm. The Cycling Victoria ParaState Championships Time Trial was also held on Saturday with Kaitlyn Schurmann, Gabriel Bouris, Carol Cooke, Michael Taylor, Massie Knight and Hannah MacDougall clinching gold.

FEVER Pitch continued his meteoric rise with a barnstorming all-of-the-way win in a heat of the $200,000 Group 2 Razldazl Launching Pad at Sandown Park on Thursday evening. On a night that saw some of the country’s fastest young greyhounds come together to vie for a berth in one of the richest prizes in Australian greyhound racing, Fever Pitch showed why he is regarded as one of the nation’s most exciting chasers when leading all of the way to win his heat in 29.49. “He just keeps on improving,” trainer Rin Divirgilio said. “You never know how they’ll go over the 515 metres until you put them over the distance, but he was going so well at Sale and Warragul (over 440m and 460m) we were confident he’d adapt pretty well. “I think he’s only going to get better with experience too.” The Razldazl Launching Pad is restricted to greyhounds with one-to-six wins and no more than 30 starts. In a unique feature of the race, each berth in the heats required the purchase of an entry form - 64 entry forms went on sale in September and sold out in a day. The win was his seventh in nine career starts and Fever Pitch enters Thursday’s final undefeated in three starts at Sandown Park. Time honours went to Ballerino, winner of the night’s opening heat in 29.40. Odds-on-favourite Allkel To Excel showed exceptional early speed to open a three-length lead down the back straight before Ballerino displayed an impressive turn of foot to storm home and win by six lengths.
