■ MP's college cash promise falls flat...

Budget blow By CASEY NEILL KEYSBOROUGH College was shortchanged $10 million in last week’s State Budget. But Keysborough MP Martin Pakula assured the community he would make good on his $11.5 million preelection pledge within the next three years. The Noble Park, Lyndale and Dandenong high schools and Keysborough’s Chandler Park Primary School shared $15.5 million in a budget boost for education. But Keysborough was allocated just $1.5 million and the remaining $10 million pledged did not appear in budget projections. Heather Lindsay retired as college principal late last year. She had lobbied for $30 million to complete a redevelopment that started more than five years ago when four schools merged. She said last week’s budget was “disappointing for the school”. “It’s encouraging that there’s at least some funding there. In the past few years there’s been nothing,” she said. “It’s disappointing that the full amount hasn’t come through, particularly as it was promised and we had (Premier) Dan Andrews and (Education Minister) James Merlino and Martin Pakula all come to the school last year, in person to make that promise.” Before the election Mr Andrews said that “if you have half a school, you only have half an education” and Mr Pakula said parents deserved certainty. Current principal John Baston said Mr Pakula had assured him three weeks ago that the full amount would

Mr Baston commended the government’s commitment to fund as many schools as possible. “We’ll use that money for the critical planning and design work,” he said. “We’ve got some fantastic facilities here. We’ve also got some that need significant refurbishing.” Noble Park Secondary College

principal Pam Dyson was delighted with its $5 million windfall, a preelection commitment announced last September. “We haven’t received any funding for a very long time,” she said. “I’m glad that we’ve been prioritised.” Ms Dyson said the upgrades would follow the school’s philosophy of personalised learning and that a senior school centre was one suggestion being considered.

“We have built a flexible learning centre with our own money, for the juniors. The seniors haven’t been given anything,” she said. The school in 2013 opened a new science centre. “We’ve had a big increase in students wanting to study science because the building has assisted the way the teachers are teaching,” Ms Dyson said. “This is going to create an opportunity for our students to learn in an optimum way.”

Chandler Park Primary School in Keysborough received $500,000 for architectural planning to finish a merger with Maralinga Primary School which started five years ago. Lyndale Secondary College received $7 million and Dandenong High School got another $3 million towards completing its merger with the Cleeland and Doveton secondary colleges which started in 2007.

Jail for historic abuse By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A 57-YEAR-old man has been sentenced to jail after pleading guilty to indecently assaulting his step-daughters nearly 30 years ago. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appealed on Monday against his six-month jail term for seven counts of indecent assault against the then-teenage girls in Springvale and Endeavour Hills in 1986 and 1987. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told in a sentencing hearing that the accused had indecently touched the eldest girl - then 14 - under her pyjamas on multiple occasions while they slept in a tent in the backyard and later in her bedroom on Saturday mornings in 1986. The following year, the accused tried to kiss and on several times groped the younger daughter, then 13, in the lounge

room and while she helped him at his workplace. The matter came to a head when one of the victims secretly recorded a phone conversation with the accused in July 2014. A court heard on Monday that the accused told the victim during the 36-minute chat: “I’m the one who was wrong” and that he had “no fear to face the law for what I have done”. Defence lawyer Kristina Kothrakis said the accused was a different man now, who was “trying to make amends since”. “There’s not a day gone by that he hasn’t felt remorseful.” Magistrate Jack Vandersteen retorted: “How are the victims travelling? They went and complained to (their mother) and she said ‘What do you want me to do about it?’ “The children haven’t been getting the

support you’d hope. They hardly know their biological father. They’re from another country.” Mr Vandersteen said the offending, which included “fondling and squeezing” the girls’ breasts under their clothes, and rubbing one of the victims’ stomachs down to the pubic hair line, was too “overwhelming” to spare the accused from jail. “Your wife describes you as a loving and caring man over a 30-year period. I’d have to disagree due to your offending which divided the family. “It’s an immense breach of trust. You were their father, they were young and had known you for a long period of time. “The children were isolated and had nowhere to go.” According to victim impact statements, one of the step-daughters said she had come to a new country trusting the

accused but that he had betrayed her in a “manipulative” way. The damage to her self-esteem had endured as an adult. “I often feel responsible for the little girl that didn’t speak up,” she wrote. Mr Vandersteen said he took into account the accused’s remorse, his community standing, the forthrightness of his disclosures and the time that had elapsed since the offences. “You felt this day was long coming.” The accused was convicted and sentenced to six months’ jail and an 18-month community corrections order that includes taking part in a sexual offenders’ program. He would also be named on the sexual offenders’ register, reporting to Victoria Police for life. The accused’s appeal will be heard in the County Court on 14 July.

Parks team show that food is good to grow AN EDIBLE oasis in the heart of Dandenong is more than just a pretty sight. The City of Greater Dandenong parks team has planted and harvested hundreds of lettuces from plots around the water wheel in Dandenong Park in Pultney Street. This month they donated the red and green leafy plants to Dandenong charity Avocare and planted winter vegies. The spring onions, silverbeet, kale and broccoli planted in a kidney-shaped garden bed near the park’s centre will also go to Avocare

when they’re ready to eat. The edible garden project aims to show Greater Dandenong residents that vegetables, herbs and edible plants can be easy to grow and make beautiful gardens, to inspire them to follow suit. Another garden in the park contains sweet potato, taro and cassava and is part of a Monash University study on how tropical plants grow in cooler climates. The vegetables are thriving despite Melbourne’s chilly temperatures. - CASEY NEILL

IN BRIEF Attack man knocked out TWO people have been set upon outside a Dandenong milk bar by a group of men wielding baseball bats and golf clubs. The victims were standing outside the David Street store when the five attackers struck about 7.45pm on Wednesday 22 April. One of the victims was knocked unconscious after being punched and kicked before the attackers then drove into the second victim’s car. Three of the attackers have been charged and police have urged anyone with information about the other two to come forward.

Mum’s up early for Cambodian breakfast By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS HERE’S an all-day breakfast with a difference. Many of My Cambodia’s early diners opt for a noodle-thick Phnom Penh soup enmeshed with seafood, bean sprouts and coriander says the restaurant’s Karl Lim. Alternatively they go for loc lac, a dish of diced beef cubes, lettuce and “red” rice that is stir-fried with egg and tomato. Back in the kitchen is Karl’s mum Say Keav Liv, the head chef who cooks most of the south-east Asian influenced menu any time of the day. The pair and two of Karl’s siblings opened Springvale’s first Cambodian restaurant Purple Orchid 10 years ago before expanding to the 50-seat restaurant My Cambodia in 2010. Before that, Say had run a bakery in Springvale for seven years.

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL “We have always loved food,” Karl said. “I grew up eating at the Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants around Springvale. “Springvale was the area with the fresh, quality produce and where language was not a barrier for (Mum). “Being multi-lingual she could speak three or four dilaects of Chinese and Khmer. “Speaking English wasn’t an issue dealing in Springvale.” The family came to Australia in 1983 as refugees from Cambodia where Say cooked for hundreds of

"They lost some men but did not worry. In less than a quarter of an hour the Turks were driven out of their second position and were either bayoneted or fleeing. "The courage displayed by those wounded Australians will never be forgotten. "Hastily placed in trawlers, lighters and boats, they were towed to the ships. "In spite of their sufferings, they cheered the ship from which they had set out in the morning.

"In fact I have never seen anything like these wounded Australians in war before. "Though many were shot and were without hopes of recovery, their cheers resounded through the night. "You could see in the midst of the mass of suffering humanity arms waving in greeting to the crews of the warships. "They were happy, because they knew they had been tried for the first time and not found wanting.“ Killed Private Eric Martin - Keysborough Wounded Private R. M. Daffey - Dandenong Private R. H.

LOOKING BACK 50 years ago 11 May 1965 Whooping cough epidemic ends Springvale - Predictions of the medical officer that an epidemic of mild whooping cough in Springvale City would end in autumn have been borne out. Dr N. H. Luth’s report to council for February stated that 10 cases of the cough had been notified. His report for March contained no cases. In two weeks during March no infectious diseases were notified which he considered very satisfactory. Dr Luth stated general health of the community was satisfactory and except for the usual minor respiratory complaints there was nothing to comment on.

"Then the Australians found themselves facing an almost perpendicular cliff, with loose sandstone covered by thick shrubbery. "Somewhere halfway up the enemy had a second trench strongly held from which was poured a terrible fire on the troops below and the boats pulling back to the destroyers for the second landing party.

A KEYSBOROUGH principal has told an anti-corruption inquiry that he had no knowledge at the time of a “farrago of untruths” involving the purchase of wine, travel and other perks for Department of Education bureaucrats. Peter Paul fronted the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission on Tuesday 5 May, days after being stood down as Chandler Park Primary School’s principal over the hearing’s allegations. The school, known as a ‘banker school’, had been used to hold Education Department funds which were then to be distributed to neighbouring schools as needed. However it has been alleged that the funds were misused by Education Department public servants to pay for their own perks such as travel, furniture and wine. Mr Paul told IBAC’s Operation Ord inquiry that he knowingly signed off on $1000-plus invoices for wine which was described as “for professional development”. The wine was paid for out of a school account funded with Education Department monies by the department’s recently sacked school resources director Nino Napoli. Mr Paul said he “implicitly trusted” Mr Napoli, and didn’t ask questions such as why the wine was being delivered to Mr Napoli’s home address. “If Mr Napoli was running conferences, seminars, all those issues that he said, the answer could be that it’s possible (the wine was for professional development),” Mr Paul said. “I paid on the invoice.

In that period, the school had bought nearly $30,000 of Italian wine from Mr Paul’s wine-merchant son Matthew Paul, allegedly for the benefit of education bureaucrats. Mr Paul said there was no accounting of the transactions done at the school but stressed that none of his school’s money was used.

He was unaware of a department 2010-’11 audit that damned the banker school practice, he told the hearing. “There is no doubt in my mind there has been a farrago of untruths that need to be unpacked.” On Wednesday, the school’s unqualified business manager of 13 years Vanessa Hannett told the hearing she had questioned Mr Paul why purchasing wine was considered “professional development”. She was told it was “because that’s what I was told the wine was for”. “I questioned why it would be purchasing wine and that’s why I had a discussion with Mr Paul.

“And Mr Paul spoke with Mr Napoli and - who said that what ... we’re doing was under Jeff Rosewarne’s jurisdiction to do so.” Mr Rosewarne, a former Education Department acting secretary, had told IBAC on 28 April that he had stored 186 Italian wine bottles in his home garage, that were bought by the school from Mr Paul’s winemerchant son. In 2010, the school bought nearly $5000 of office furniture that was delivered to Mr Rosewarne’s home. The purchase was allegedly falsely invoiced as “printing” costs. Mr Paul was stood down by the Education Department pending an internal investigation into allegations raised at IBAC on 28 April.

Relief over train order By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG manufacturers say rail investment in last week’s State Budget has put the region on track for a prosperous future. Bombardier in Dandenong received a $274 million order for 20 E-Class Trams and a $257 million order for 21 VLocity carriages. A Bombardier spokeswoman said the announcement was a win not only for Bombardier and its workforce “but also a great opportunity for our local suppliers and other local businesses in Victoria who will benefit from

the upcoming work”. Also in the budget was the Trains, Trams, Jobs 2015-2025 Victorian Rolling Stock Strategy. The 10-year plan pledges 50 per cent local content in all new orders, 100 new metropolitan trains, 100 new trams, and a regional train fleet expansion. Jill Walsh has been a leading voice for local rail content and was “delighted” with the strategy. “That’s really going to benefit our children and our grandchildren,” she said. “This is not politicians mak-

ing that announcement - that is statesmen. Continuous work for 10 years gives us security. “I’ve been lobbying for 10 years to get this sort of commitment from a government so I can only applaud them. “Putting this sort of work out there with 50 per cent local content is sending a very strong message to manufacturing in this state - that it is alive and well.”

Ms Walsh said companies could train and employ staff and invest in equipment with confidence. The Committee for Dandenong member is a partner at Bombardier supplier ActcoPickering Metal Industries. “I’m looking forward to seeing that work flow through to the supply chain,” she said. “We all need to make sure that Dandenong benefits from this wonderful largesse of rolling stock.” South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) has

also been involved in lobbying. SEMMA executive officer Adrian Boden said the Rolling Stock Strategy created an optimistic future for rail manufacturing in Victoria. “However, the term of the plan is considered somewhat short given that the lifespan of rail infrastructure is 30 years,” he said. “Ideally this plan would be more long-term to ensure all infrastructure is maintained and turned over as it is needed rather than forcing a bulk purchase in times of desperation.”

HOUSING estates in Keysborough South remain off the bus network loop under the State Government’s budget plan. In the government’s $100 million metro bus upgrade package, there was an extension of Cranbourne’s 897 service - branching it into Merinda Park, Lynbrook, Dandenong South and Dandenong. This may alleviate an identified lack of east-west bus links into the Dandenong South employment cluster. Greater Dandenong councillor Roz Blades said the budget failed to provide the sorely-needed bus network links into Keysborough South - which infamously has several bus stops not serviced by any buses. Prior to the state election, the council proposed a Keysborough South bus route linking schools, homes and places of worship with stations, which could be provided at “little or no cost”. The council also argued there were few eastwest bus links between Casey residents to Dandenong South workplaces. Public Transport Association spokesman Daniel Bowen said overall bus service upgrades were “limited”. “Most routes remaining at relatively poor service levels.”

Cash in the bank for loans relief for the poor By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DANDENONG affordable-loan service for disadvantaged families has had its funding exended for a further four years. In last week’s State Budget, Good Money was granted $7.2 milion over four years to continue running its shopfronts in Dandenong, Geelong and Collingwood. The service, which is provided by Good Shepherd Microfinance and National Australia Bank, was set up as an alternative to payday lenders. When it set up in Dandenong in 2012, the service estimated that about 23,000 local families - or one in five were severely or financially excluded from credit cards and bank loans. Often they resorted to loans from payday lenders, common in Dandenong’s CBD, who charge cripplingly

high interest of up to 20 per cent a month. Good Money provides no-interest loans of up to $1200 and low-interest loans up to $3000 to low income families. The loans are to help with essentials, such as fridges, washing machines, education and medical expenses. It also provides referrals to services such as financial counselling. As of last month, Good Money had helped 6000 Dandenong families which was hailed as a “wonderful achievement” by Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams at an event at the store on Friday. Families and Children Minister Jenny Mikakos said the funding would help ease cost of living pressures on families.

The club is sitting down with Greater Dandenong Council this week hoping City Hall can help with an unexpectedly high $30,000-plus security bill for the wall of water-filled barriers that lined the Pillars of Freedom on the day. A DANDENONG Magistrates’ Court clerk last week started a spirited debate over the utility of her over-sized ring. A police officer wondered aloud whether the bloated bling could be classified as a knuckle-duster. The clerk’s defence was rock-solid. “It’s not a weapon, it’s a fashion accessory,” she said. 1182244-PB18-15

SOCIALLY SPEAKING RE: Traders draw the line on parking meters IF THE introduction of parking fees is designed to reduce the number of people parking in the most direct areas, how does this help the traders? There are plenty of other places (eg. shopping centres) where it isn’t an issue. And you don’t need to carry loose change. That’s incentive enough to move elsewhere. Like the traders have discovered in the CBD in Dandenong. The supermarkets discovered that the coin deposit system for trolleys didn’t encourage shopping either and in their wisdom stopped it. In a relatively cashless community carrying pockets of silver for parking is an embuggerance. Neil Wanstall, via web.

Warming to beanies By CASEY NEILL SPRINGVALE Scouts donned beanies for brain cancer on Monday after being inspired by a brave Hampton Park boy. They were heeding the call Gold Logie winner Carrie Bickmore made at Sunday’s award ceremony in a tribute to her late husband, who lost his battle with brain cancer. The Project presenter put on a beanie while accepting her trophy and urged others to join her to raise awareness of the disease. Levi Wilkins was reluctant to wear his beanie at the 2nd Springvale Scout Group tribute, telling his mum Teagan “I don’t need these anymore”. The five-year-old has been cancer-free for two years and can’t wait to join his brother Zaidyn, 8, as a member of the group. Cub Scout leader Leanne Morgan said more than 45 youths and leaders took part and she’d “never been prouder”. Levi was just over seven months old when he was diagnosed with medulloblastoma. He’d missed milestones and had “a few quirks”. “I took a perfectly healthy looking child to the ED at Monash. After some investigation he had fluid on the brain,” she said. “It was caused by a seven centimetre tumour. It’s really hard to comprehend. “It had basically taken up about three quarters of his skull cavity.” Levi endured a year of chemotherapy and was given the all clear, but relapsed.

Wearing beanies were, back, Cub Zaidyn Wilkins, Scout Tahlia Morgan, Venturer Kim Petterson, Rover Sam Morgan, front, brain cancer survivor Levi Wilkins and Joey Liam Elliot. “He underwent quite toxic chemotherapy which required him to have his stem cells removed from his system and harvested,” Ms Wilkins said. “Then they had to go back into his body once the chemo had finished. “Then he underwent six weeks of intense radiation on the back of his head.” He has been healthy since his third birthday, and is progressing through rehabilitation. The tumour affected his mobility, balance and co-ordination.

“He’s had a pretty tough start on life. It’s never ever fazed him in the slightest,” Ms Wilkins said. “He took all the needles and all the surgeries in his stride.” Ms Wilkins said she felt Ms Bickmore’s pain but the response to her speech had warmed her heart. “It’s a perfect catchphrase and I am so blown away with the epidemic that it’s started,” she said. “We do need funding to help other kids like Levi.”

Dodgy speed A MAN recently diagnosed with a neuro-degenerative disease has avoided his 11th stint behind bars after pleading guilty to speeding at about 175 km/h in an unroadworthy car on the Monash Freeway. Steven Craig Kumeatatis, 28, twitching as part of his Huntington’s Disease affliction, was told by Dandenong magistrate Jack Vandersteen on 4 May there was “no point” in him being imprisoned. Huntington’s had already killed and afflicted several of Kumeatatis’s close relatives at a young age. The court heard Kumeatatis - at the time a disqualified driver - had been detected travelling at 122 km/h on the freeway at Dandenong North on 23 November 2012 at 4.37pm. Kumeatatis’s vehicle “pulled away” as police drove behind him at a steady speed of 170175 km/h on the freeway between Stud and Heatherton roads, police prosecutor Senior Constable Kerryn Buschgens told the court. The vehicle

passed three other vehicles and changed lanes without indicating in a way that was “extremely dangerous to other road users,” Sen Const Buschgens said. When intercepted, Kumeatatis gave a false name and tried to hide a bum bag containing cannabis and what was believed to be amphetamines. He had been disqualified for three years since 2010. Kumeatatis also fled a crash in which he had failed to give way at a roundabout at Western Port Highway, Skye last year. The victim’s vehicle was significantly damaged and pushed off the road during the incident, the court heard. Kumeatatis declared he was from Tooradin before driving off in his car despite its front bumper dragging on the road and front lights being smashed due to the crash. He also pleaded guilty to five counts of driving unlicensed, two counts of driving an unregistered car, drink-driving, speeding and stealing a sound system from a car parked at Merinda Park railway station in a 12-month spree up to January.

Defence lawyer John Buxton conceded his client had “extensive priors” of like offending but the illness was “explanatory” of the accused’s impulsivity and disinhibited behaviour over a number of years. It had in recent weeks been “positively” managed by medication. The accused’s amphetamine use ceased six months ago, though he had a “smoke of marijuana” daily and drank in moderation, Mr Buxton said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he was concerned Kumeatatis’s “selfish” driving could have hurt a member of the public but the accused was suffering a “serious” medical condition. “I can’t see the point (of jail) given your dementia and you’re on medication. With your twitching, I know you’re nervous about being picked on by other prisoners - I can understand that.” Kumeatatis was convicted and placed on a 12-month community corrections order with drug, mental health and medical treatment. He was disqualified from driving for two years.

Life back in the land FALLOW land at a Dandenong school is set to be converted into a working ‘urban farm’ including a community compost and vegie garden, livestock, a heritage apple orchard and opportunities for unemployed people to get work experience. St Gerard’s Primary School principal Chris O’Connell said the state-funded $50,000 composting centre will be amenable to its neighbours and bring an under-utilised part of his school grounds to life. The plan radically expands upon the school’s existing vegie patch, industrial kitchen and greenhouse which are already proving to be therapeutic sanctuaries for students with anxieties and social issues. Children will also task their minds on maintaining the compost’s nitrogen and liquid levels. Mr O’Connell said the compost would be fully-enclosed, limiting the escape of noxious odours or the harbouring of vermin. “The concepts are in basements of buildings or they can be put in shipping containers. It’s quite cutting edge. “We want to divert our rubbish back to the garden rather than using fertilisers.

“We’ll be using technology to enhance the environment.” It would be fed by food scraps generated from the garden as well as partly from the school’s families and wider community. A partnership is also being fostered with Second Bite, which re-distributes food being thrown out by supermarkets, and hosts the company’s work-for-thedole volunteers. Community members can get involved by helping in the vegie patch, harvesting and pruning the orchard. “The aim is that the community comes in and takes part in it.” Mr O’Connell said the school was working with Greater Dandenong Council on ways to protect neighbouring residents’ amenity. Council officers had declared the compost was an “industrial use” - prohibited in Gladstone Road’s residential environs because it was intended to use putrescible scraps from outside the school. The school has since scaled back the use of outside waste to satisfy the regulations.

Chris O'Connell with students Kobi, Christian, Mercy, Bella and Katie. 138076 Picture: KIMBERLEY CARTMELL Mr O’Connell said livestock such as cows could be kept “nowhere near people’s back fences” and looked after by on-

site pastors on weekends. “There won’t be tractors driving around at all hours,” he said.

Call goes out to pitch in for successful showtime PLANNING has commenced for the 2015 Doveton Show and the committee is calling on local residents to lend a hand. The Doveton Show has grown and developed into a popular community event. The 2015 event is scheduled for September at Myuna Farm. The 10th anniversary show in 2014 Doveton Show attracted more than 20,000 visitors. Chairman of the Doveton Show Committee Pam Lewis said families from far and wide came together in Doveton to

experience a wide variety of attractions, demonstrations, rides, showbags and entertainment. “The concept of a gold coin donation per person for entry into the event is key feature to ensure it remains a low-cost alternative for local families compared to the Royal Melbourne Show which is held during the same time each year,“ Mrs Lewis said. “The Doveton Show provides an opportunity for local residents, sporting or community groups and local businesses to

fund-raise or benefit from increased promotion and awareness of what is available in their own neighbourhood.“ She said the annual event was a community driven initiative that needed local people to get involved in the planning and delivery stages. Skills that would be particularly welcome include administration, customer service, event management, website monitoring/ development, marketing and promotion, entertainment audio/ staging and the arts and crafts.

“Many hands make light work and there are fantastic benefits for those who volunteer their time on show day, or in the lead-up to this amazing community event.“ The Doveton Show annual general meeting will be held at Myuna Farm at 7pm on Wednesday 20 May. “We would love to see some new local people become involved, even if only for a limited amount of time,“ said Mrs Lewis. For further information on the Doveton Show email info@dovetonshow.org.au or visit www.dovetonshow.org.au.

Council won’t oust Al-Furqan THERE is no reason to cancel a controversial Islamic group’s two-yearold standing booking at a Keysborough leisure centre. This was the City of Greater Dandenong’s response last week to concerns about members of Al-Furqan meeting each Friday at the Springers facility. Community services director Mark Doubleday said the group was charged the standard room hire fees and had used the space for prayers. “Provided the use and conduct is consistent with council’s policies for public use and hire and is not disruptive or inappropriate in terms of others or the community, then the group’s booking is appropriate,” he said. “There is no reason for council to have any concerns.” Al-Furqan said it closed its Springvale South shopfront headquarters on 22 April due to “harassment, pressure and false accusations”. Media reports claimed that Al-Furqan was linked to five men arrested on 18 April over an alleged plan to attack Anzac Day services and to Numan Haider who was shot dead last year. - Casey Neill

THE Port of Hastings project lost $80 million in last week’s State Budget in a blow to the Greater Dandenong business community which had been advocating for the port, saying it would bring the region thousands of jobs and billions of dollars. But Hastings MP Neale Burgess said the State Government had stripped the Port of Hastings Development Authority of all remaining money. “This disgraceful decision is a major blow for jobs, businesses and the economy in the Western Port area and the south east region,” he said.

Mr Burgess said Labor had pledged to “take advice about where Victoria’s second container port should be built”. “Even groups that were concerned about development of the Port of Hastings have spoken in glowing terms about the importance and high quality of the work that was being carried out by the Port of Hastings Development Authority,” he said. Roads and Ports Minister Luke Donnellan said the Port of Hastings Development Au-

thority would receive funding to manage the day-to-day operations of the port and to chase further investment opportunities. “The Andrews Government is committed to the development of a second container port which will be demand-driven,” he said. “The government will assess locations at Bay West and Port of Hastings and obtain advice from Infrastructure Victoria on the preferred location. “No decision will be made on the future of Victoria’s next container port until Infrastructure Victoria concludes its review.”

School campaign to continue CALLS for a Keysborough South primary school went unheeded in last week’s State Budget, but a high-profile advocacy campaign is on the cards. The absence of money for the in-demand facility was not unexpected but Keysborough South Action Group spokeswoman Nina Kelly had been holding out hope. The suburb is fast filling with several thousand homes and is served only by three private schools. “We were disappointed that the additional school was not in the budget and will meet with (Keysborough MP) Martin Pakula mid next month to see when

it is expected,” Ms Kelly said. He will then be presented with a petition of signatures from more than 600 desperate residents. Ms Kelly said she’d make further comments after the Monday 11 May council meeting, which will hear a report about how the City of Greater Dandenong should assist residents. On 3 April the council endorsed a notice of motion seeking an urgent report regarding the issue and whether it should buy land for a 500-student school. The report back, which councillors will be asked to endorse on 11 May, recommend-

ed the council write to the state Education Minister seeking advice about the government’s strategy to address the education needs and advising him that suitably-sized land parcels were in short supply. It also recommended that the mayor, senior council officers and a community advocates meet with the minister. The report said the council should consider launching a high-profile advocacy campaign if it did not receive an adequate response. Visit dandenong.starcommunity.com.au on Tuesday for a report on the motion. – CASEY NEILL

GREATER Dandenongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aid agencies are joining forces to cover shortfalls left by funding cuts. The council hosted representatives from various organisations at the Material Aid Forum last Monday. Mayor Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly said they discussed the impacts that Department of

Social Services grant program funding changes have made to material aid and emergency relief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were some major agencies in attendance like the Red Cross and Salvation Army as well as the benevolent societies and the Community Aid and Advice Bureau from both Dandenong

and Springvale,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly said more than 40 agencies provided aid and emergency relief to the Greater Dandenong community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really good for myself and for everybody to pick up on what everyone else was doing,â&#x20AC;? he said. - CASEY NEILL

IN BRIEF Firebug flees wetlands POLICE are searching for a man who lit a fire at the Melbourne Water Wetlands in Dandenong last weekend. A man was seen putting bark and other items on the fire in the Falkiner Crescent wetlands about 4pm on Saturday 2 May. The man fled on a dark coloured push bike after being disturbed by witnesses. The suspect is believed to be aged in his thirties, has an athletic build, is roughly 170 centimetres tall with olive skin, and was wearing a grey hoodie and darks shorts at the time. CFA crews were called in to extinguish the fire.

Garage arson bike getaway A SUSPICIOUS man was spotted riding away from a Dandenong garage fire on a bike last month. A witness saw smoke coming from the vacant garage in Burrows Avenue about 3.30pm on Thursday 30 April and then spotted a man leaving the area on a push bike soon after. CFA crews attended the fire.

NEW HOMES & LAND

INSPIRED TO TAKE A FRESH APPROACH In a world of same same layouts, Inspired Homes offers a personalised approach to building a home. It works together in partnership with their clients to create a home that suits individual needs, wants and the characteristics of their client’s land. “Andrew Stickley and his team certainly deliver a unique and innovative single story design,” said John and Sue, happy owners of a new Inspired Home. “After three years of trolling through many show homes, which started to look the same, we were about to sign up with a well-known quality builder. “The day before the signing, we walked into the Living Room of the

Laguna 319 at the Berwick Waters Display Centre. “We were simply amazed by the island bench facing the alfresco and the natural lines and curves, and a gas fire place that provided a very welcoming and relaxed feeling. “Based on this unique design, we signed with Inspired Homes the following day and have never looked back. “Using the living and media rooms as the core, Andrew was unsparing in his time and professional advice designing modifications to suite our very specific needs. “It is uncommon to find someone who truly cares about delivering on customer expectations in a cost

effective manner. “We were also given very comprehensive documentation detailing options for exterior and interior colours, fixtures and fittings. “We highly recommend Inspired Homes and certainly give a five star perfect rating.” Inspired Homes has been established for 10 years and stands alone as a boutique home designer, offering a personal approach to building a new home. Inspired Homes display location is at Berwick Waters Estate, 3-5 Serene Way, Clyde North. Phone Andrew Stickley on 0411 473 662 or phone 13000 homes (1300 046 637).

EPA foul creek crackdown A DANDENONG company has been issued three cleanup notices by the Environment Protection Authority Victoria after residents reported two pollution incidents in Eumemmerring Creek last month. EPA officers were unable to conclusively find the source for a blue-green discharge as well as a milky white discolouration in the creek the following day. “The blue-green pollution appeared consistent with wastewater from spray painting and had no odour, suggesting it was water-based,” EPA southern metro manager Leigh Bryant said. “When EPA officers attended Eumemmerring Creek to investigate the white pollution, it had been already been flushed

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE final course of appeal isn’t necessarily in the High Court. Sometimes for Vera Hardiman, co-ordinator of five lawyers at Casey-Cardinia Community Legal Service, the last hope lies in prayer. When every other legal avenue is exhausted, several lawyers pray together at the Dandenong-based service for their battling clients. Ms Hardiman - who attests to her strong faith - said the outcomes can be “miraculous”. “I put them in God’s hands and we pray for our clients.” For the past 30 years Ms Hardiman has taken up the legal fight for the powerless. Clients with little income and no representation can easily get lost in the legal labyrinth. Ms Hardiman and her free legal service does its best to provide some equality before the law. It stands up for the car-accident victim who has to fight a recalcitrant insurer for their pay-out or for the driver whose unpaid $5 tolls escalate to $148 infraction notices and a total bill of hundreds of thousands of dollars. “The fines should be downgraded to something like $40 each,” Ms Hardiman said.

“We’ve seen people whose children are suffering from leukaemia and they’ve been driving to the hospital. “They’re not opening their mail because they’re so stressed. “Then they get tens of thousands of dollars worth of fines - the system is very punitive. The legal service has come to the aid of pregnant clients whose cars were clamped on a hot day by the Sheriff’s office due to unpaid fines. “We’ve had some awful stories like a sheriff walking people to the ATM and looking over their shoulder… they’ve been quite intimidating. “Lately sheriffs are refusing to arrest and bail our clients in our office for a court hearing. “They’re instead going to their homes and eyeing off their property to work out what they’ve got.” Ms Hardiman arrived at the service in 2001 after long representing community legal centre clients as a barrister. The CCCLS is a free legal oasis that is unsurprisingly growing in demand. Many of Greater Dandenong’s clients are new arrivals facing criminal matters, family violence, car accident settlements and fines. There are many family breakdowns in Casey and Car-

dinia with ice and mortgage stress emerging as large underlying problems. “The phones here are going all day long,” Ms Hardiman said. Ms Hardiman said more resources were needed for unemployment law matters, property settlements for people suffering family violence and for people going to court. The family violence caseload is soaring. “We usually ask a client if there is family violence in the marriage… at least 75 per cent say yes,” Ms Hardiman says. She qualifies this by saying domestic violence has broadened to include verbal abuse, financial abuse and social isolation. “A lot of guys may be proud that they don’t hit their wives but they can make their wives’ lives hell by being emotionally and verbally abusive.” She said there was still an issue of under-reported family violence. In some cases, the victim may be disabled and be reluctant to report on the abuser, who they depend on as a carer. Women of migrant backgrounds can be reluctant to report an abusive husband to police because of the acrimony they would face in their communities.

Print does the job on employment Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online. Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print. Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

The business was required to clean up waste around the premises, install controls on particle-generating activities and equipment, and to install controls to prevent liquid spills entering the stormwater system. An EPA spokesman said it was the first time the business had received notices from the state environmental watchdog. To report suspected pollution to the EPA, call 1300 372 842.

A blue-ribbon green thumb By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

pour it over my vegies,” Pat said. Her number one tip is a good base and mulch – it all starts with the soil, she said. “I put everything in my compost, vegetable matter and grass clippings and make sure it’s full of nutrients.” With potatoes and rhubarb all year round, Pat’s late season oranges are a riot of colour in the winter months. “They’re not ready to eat yet but are starting to change colour now –

I planted it four years ago and it gets better every year, last year I had about 40 oranges and this year I’ve counted more than 50,” she said. Some hearty winter vegetables Pat’s neighbours might plant for her include lettuce, snow peas, cabbage and shallots. Pat recommends a little TLC, but not too much water in the winter months and most importantly rhubarb all year round, because an apple and rhubarb pie really pays off in the colder weather.

WITH a stack of first-place blue ribbons under her belt Pakenham resident, Pat Jones and her green thumb are ready to plant some winter vegetables. Having lived in Pakenham for 28 years, Pat’s vegetable garden has won prizes at the Berwick, Pakenham and Dandenong shows and one of Pat’s main tips is to not over-do it. “Keep up the weeding but also look into companion planting to keep the pests out,” she said. Growing winter vegies can be a breeze with the clouds watering the patch for us, but Pat said one drink after planting should be enough in winter until you see them coming through. “Good mulch is the key – I make my own compost and give the soil a good watering before planting but don’t over-water or else they’ll die,” Pat said. This season Pat will be planting peas, onions, radishes and beetroot and said she was lucky enough to have vegie growers next door who she shared her goodies with and vice versa. Pat recommends planting garlic, marigold or calendula flowers in among the vegies to keep the pests out, as they don’t like the strong smell. “In the wintertime every couple of months I tend to put some Seasol in a watering can and

Tea’s the treat A HOT cup of tea is a staple throughout the colder months, and is perfect anytime of the day. Not only is tea perfect for warming you up, it has a vast array of health benefits and can be used to treat a range of ailments. Here’s our guide to the many varieties of tea and everything they can be used for. Green Tea Rich in antioxidants, green tea promotes healthy cell growth, lowers cholesterol levels and has a relaxing effect on the body. Black Tea Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it also lowers the risk of heart disease and diabetes and regulates blood sugar levels. Chamomile Tea Widely used to calm anxiety and insomnia, chamomile tea can also be used to treat mouth swelling and diarrhoea. Ginger Tea An all-rounder of sorts, ginger tea will settle nausea

and morning sickness, treat dizziness and calm menstrual pain. Echinacea Tea If you feel a cold coming on, Echinacea is your friend. Drink to prevent the onset and to treat the symptoms of cold and flu this winter. Peppermint Tea A dose of peppermint tea will calm the stomach and soothe bloating. Rooibos A naturally caffeine-free tea, it is known to help clear the skin and contains cancerfighting properties. Dandelion Tea made from the common flower can be used to help digestion, treat jaundice, reduce the intensity of hot flashes and fight the formation of kidney stones. Ginseng Made from the root of a ginseng plant, this versatile tea helps with lowering blood sugar and pressure as well as improving mental function.

How long should you let tea brew? IT’S A question hotly debated among tea lovers and, ultimately, comes down to personal preference. As a general rule, the larger the leaf, the longer it will take to brew. Loose tea should be brewed in a teapot for approximately seven minutes. Earl and Lady Grey only require five minutes, and any smaller leaves will take around three or less minutes.

By NORMAN MCCOURT LIKE many Australians I grew up in the country, a small country town called Surfers Paradise. In the ’50s and ’60s it indeed was just that – no fences, trees and dunes for miles. The hinterland birdlife was dominated by the rainbow lorikeets that converged twice a day at the Currumbin Bird Sanctuary for a meal of bread and honey diluted with water – they have a sweet tooth. The sanctuary fed so many birds they had their own apiary. However it was my mother who taught me the joys of feeding the kookaburras and butcher birds. Both enjoyed bacon and would eat from our hands, making a regular habit of it at 4.30 after school each day. In later years I travelled the world but never experienced much in the way of foreign birdlife. It was something you had to seek out with binoculars, gumboots and possibly even a ‘society’ (remember Bill Oddie?) Australian birds by contrast are … prolific, social and outgoing characters and feeding them has become second nature to many Australians. An inexpensive and rewarding pastime, transforming outdoor areas into busy, thriving, sociable communities of colour. There’s always something going on in the bird world as I take great joy in observing from

hat onders t Small w memories ck bring ba ecome a s ... it’ b game. n generatio

my Pakenham Upper home. If you have a flowering garden you will become familiar with smaller wrens, finches and honeyeaters that feast on flower nectar. These birds are self-sufficient but will eat native bird seed (you can purchase a large bag of native bird seed from most supermarkets for a few dollars). They will also indulge in bread and honey – you can finetune their favourite foods as the seasons progress. They also enjoy a bird bath in the hot weather – provided you have no cats. It will become the focal point of the yard early morning and late afternoons during the

hot summer months. Make sure its placement is high enough off the ground and in plain view of your main windows. As these birds are small they only require a large plate or old clay pot-plant base with a couple of centimetres of water. The chaos that ensues often resembles a noisy primary school at the local baths – everyone gets drenched! In the hills, galahs, sulphurcrested cockatoos, cockatiels and rosellas become the dominant species – though not as interested in public bathing, when feeding can be very entertaining. Sulphurcrested cockatoos particularly enjoy corn kernels and even pork fat.

Occasionally the opportunity to feed the much rarer king parrots will arise. This variety travel in pairs – the males have a large bright red head, the female smaller and all green. The male kings are very docile and will often feed right out of your hand – a small plastic cup of wild bird seed will suffice. In no time time you become familiar with individuals in the flock and even recognise individual’s calls. They like being fed at specific times, creatures of habit! When I began feeding at my current address in Pakenham Upper one particular sulphur-crested cockatoo (Whelan – we presume it’s a he) came down onto the roof of the feeder and immediately removed a roof shingle and threw it away. When he departed I went out and replaced it … he immediately came back and tore it off again and was very vocal in the process. Whelan now stands on the feeder roof using the hole to watch and talk with his companions while they eat. My 18-month-old granddaughter Grace is the latest link in the journey that travels back some 60 years to my mother and the Coast. When Grace comes to visit me at Pakenham Upper she is consumed with the birds, taking part in their feeding and collecting their feathers. Small wonders that bring back memories … it’s become a generation game.

EDUCATION WEEK

Week adds up to enjoy maths THIS year’s Education Week maths theme will see hundreds of schools and early years services participate in the week, from 17-23 May 2015, through open days, exhibitions, themed class activities and other special events. Under the theme of ‘Crack the Code With Maths’ schools and early childhood programs are encouraged to explore maths with students and parents using the activity ideas, promotional tools, teaching resources and helpful course and career links found on the Department of Education’s website.

EXPLORING TOGETHER

Schools will be able to take part in The Great Victorian Coding Challenge in the leadup to Education Week this year by bringing maths to life in their classrooms. Using the simple software Scratch which is already installed on government school computers, students can create and animate their very own characters and games, and have the chance to win a full-day excursion to specialist maths and science centre Quantum Victoria. And there’s plenty of support for teachers with no knowledge of coding, including short

webinars, online resources and ideas for classroom activities. Other activities will give thousands of children the opportunity to experience freeof-charge educational and cultural activities hosted by museums, galleries, libraries, farms, performance groups and other community organisations with education programs throughout Victoria. Visit www.education.vic.gov.au and follow the Education Week link at the bottom of the page.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Window into pane passion By CASEY NEILL WINDOWS are never too far from Joe Mulholland’s mind. Even after spending 10 years out of the industry he’d drive past homes and be drawn to the glass panes. “It’s something that doesn’t get out of your system,” he said. So last year he partnered with former colleagues Mick Filosa and Wayne Copley to start 363 Enterprises in Dandenong South. “We rented the premises in July last year and we started operating full-time from the middle of October,” he said. “We simply make timber windows and doors. We try to sell ourselves as a company that makes custom-made windows. “We’ve got a passion for the product itself, not just for making a crust out of it.” It was among five businesses that were successful in this year’s instalment of the City of Greater Dandenong’s Business Grants Program which was announced on 25 March. Each was reimbursed for up to $8000 and received about $2000 in advice from the Small Business Mentoring Service. Mr Mulholland put the cash to-

wards an electrical upgrade and fitting out the warehouse. “Basically, we were working off a bunch of extension leads,” he said. He said 363 Enterprises mainly catered to people who wanted to replace old windows or renovate heritage homes and were looking to match existing windows. The company also serves architects who are looking for something different. “We make the windows to any size that the architect has on the plans,” he said, “and don’t say ‘No, the windows have got to be to our standard size’. “We start all our windows from scratch so we cut to size for every job. “We don’t buy glass in bulk quantities and pay a slight premium for that privilege but we offset that by not having the big overheads. “Our competitors, the larger ones, will basically have a standard range of windows and doors which they’ll buy their raw materials in pre-finished in those sizes so all they need to do is assemble it. “We cut it and join it and make it for you and when a window goes through this place, we actually spend a lot more time and effort in actually designing the windows.

Joe Mulholland, Wayne Copley and Mick Filosa. 137526 “We go back to the customer and talk to them about what they’ve got on their plans, how it will look when it’s finished. We offer them solutions.” Mr Mulholland said 363 wouldn’t compromise on materials. “We’re not pretending to be the cheapest on the market but we’re certainly not more expensive than our major competitors either,” he said. “We can go with what some of the others use and we choose not to. “We might be saving $3 or $4 on a winder which is a lot when you’re building 300 windows a month. “But we don’t want someone complaining that the winder they got is a cheap one and it looks cheap.” Mr Mulholland said it wasn’t difficult to return to windows after a

decade-long stint in plumbing. “More advances have been made in other species like aluminium and PVC, but timber is still timber,” he said. “Timber is a traditional look and we like it because it just feels like a nice product to work with. “I firmly believe it makes a house look better - I could be biased! “I’ve used it in my own home every time I’ve built. This is my third home. “It’s got a lot of natural warmth to it.” Setting up in Dandenong was an easy choice for the 363 Enterprises team. “We’ve always lived and worked in the Greater Dandenong and Casey area,” he said. “It’s a convenience for us to com-

mute to work but, more importantly, you’ve got access to your raw materials, you’ve got access to a heck of a lot of people who can make stuff for you. “If you want a guard made for a machine you just walk next door. “If you want your saw blade sharpened you just go to Hammond Road and there’s half a dozen blokes there. “If you want to buy rollers for your racks, they’re just around the corner. “The infrastructure that we’ve got in Dandenong is really supportive for manufacturing. “We think it’s damn important that people like ourselves make a small contribution to keeping it going.” The Journal supports the program and will profile each of the successful businesses.

Transport team makes light work of heavy lifting Property fund sells “WE’VE all got to work together to make it happen.” And Membrey’s Transport and Crane Hire managing director Craig Membrey certainly did his bit for Dandenong on Wheels. His team transported a tram from Bombardier to Walker Street for the manufacturing showcase event on 17 April. “It wasn’t easy. It was a tight fit to get it where they wanted it to be,” he said. The family-owned Dandenong South business has been around since 1962. “Bombardier gave us the contract about 12 months ago to move their 50 trams,” he said. “We move one approximately every month from Dandenong to the workshops in Preston.” But Dandenong on Wheels

presented a different challenge. Staff started the process of moving the tram into central Dandenong at 1am. VicRoads escorts diverted traffic so the tram-carrier could travel on the wrong side of the road. It took nearly an hour to make the final turn into Walker Street. “It just a tight spot to get around,” Mr Membrey said. But it was worthwhile. “It was a good eye opener, I didn’t realise we did that much in Dandenong, to be honest,” he said. “We’ve all got to work together to make it happen. It’s a team effort. “If you don’t try, you never get anywhere in life.” - CASEY NEILL

Companies pay to avoid falling through a gap in the net COREX Plastics is forking out $30,000 for the internet speed it needs - despite the National Broadband Network cable running right past its door. The Dandenong company’s managing director Simon Whiteley made the decision to invest in a fibre optic connection late last year. He said initial NBN plans forecast a connection to the site by the second quarter of this year.

“That hasn’t been updated since 2013. The current work log is still not showing this area,” he said. “Productivity was being reduced because of the inept bandwidth available. “It was a cost that we could no longer bear. “I know it’s in the ground because I’ve seen it. It goes right past the door. “Any new estate, they automatically get it, whereas we don’t.

“It’s not feasible for us to move 500 metres down the road in order to capture that. It would have cost me millions of dollars.” The South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) president said sending large files such as computer-aided design (CAD) drawings was key to his business. “While you do that upload, your download performance is restricted,” Mr Whiteley said.

“That’s where the productivity’s lost. People will be waiting. “We need to have that bandwidth. We need to have that connectivity. “There’s enough barriers to work with other businesses. It’s about moving forward with data. “We’re becoming far more a connected world.” Mr Whiteley gave 3D printing as an example. If a machine part fails he has to order a new one from

Europe. In the meantime, the supplier could send him the specifications to 3D print a temporary part to keep the business moving. “To do that I need to have good digital connection,” he said. “From a browser point of view, current ADSL is fine. There’s no need for fibre optic to homes now. “There’s a business case, it’s affecting the productivity of the country.”

The Journal spoke to Mr Whiteley following a report on the economic effects of lack of National Broadband Network (NBN) access. Southern Melbourne Regional Development Australia (RDA) Committee and Greater Dandenong, Kingston and Frankston councils released it on 27 April. They are using the results to urge NBN Co to review its rollout priorities.

A KEY Dandenong South manufacturing site is now in new hands. Property fund manager Quintessential Equity sold the 2.43 hectare 269-271 Frankston-Dandenong Road for $7.2 million to a private investor. The site is on the north eastern corner of Frankston-Dandenong Road and Cojo Place and is home to buildings totalling about 7340 square metres. Sole tenant Tycab Australia signed a 14-year lease agreement in March, so will stay put until at least 2029. Quintessential Equity head of property Russell Bullen said that since acquiring the property in November 2012, it had worked closely with Tycab to upgrade the working environment. “The newly-completed workshop adds a different element and dynamic to the site and was an important factor in securing a new long-term lease agreement,” Mr Bullen said. Colliers International and Savills managed the sale and said surplus land on the site made the property attractive.

Good for visit JUNIOR footy players got a taste of the big time in Noble Park last week. Dandenong’s Patterson Cheney Toyota brought the Good for Footy program to Noble Park Reserve on Wednesday 6 May - and Hawthorn footballer Sam Mitchell. He put more than 250 Noble Park Junior Football Club players through training drills, ran through the club banner alongside them and spoke about his career. There was also a footy challenge course, bucking footy, music, a handball competition and 3AW live crosses. Patterson Cheney Toyota has been a Good for Footy program sponsor since it started in 2005. More than 130 football clubs have so far shared more than $2.6 million dollars through the program, for ground improvements, club room renovations, training equipment, uniforms, medical supplies and more.

Taking the conversion Hallam Senior College’s rugby academy - with players from last year’s Victorian sides pictured - is off to New South Wales to compete in the GIO Cup for schoolboys. 121430 Picture: JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER NOT many people would have expected Hallam Senior College to join an elite New South Wales Schoolboys’ rugby league competition, but through a unique set of circumstances the unlikely scenario has become reality. With traditional rugby league school Holy Cross College - Ryde, in Sydney’s inner suburbs, bowing out of this year’s GIO Cup over uncertainty about its competitiveness, it left an opening in the 12-team competition. While most Sydneysiders would have looked for another NSW team from the GIO Trophy, the powers that be instead looked to Victoria to find a

suitable replacement. Hallam Senior College was that lucky school, earning an invite to take Holy Cross’s place in the competition - and Hallam’s rugby academy coach Jamie Fardell said it was just reward for many successful campaigns in the GIO Trophy. “There are 12 teams that compete in this in NSW and it is invite only, so you have to perform pretty well in the Trophy division to even be considered,” Fardell said. “We were semi-finalists last year in the trophy and quarter-finalists the three years before that and that’s a knockout competition of 300 schools, so for us to be good at that for the last four years

it shows we’re ready to step up.” After many years of hard work - alongside initial academy coach Travis McIntosh - Fardell was thrilled to see Victoria get a chance to mark itself on the rugby league map and it was due to the hard work of staff and players - from NRL level all the way down through the ranks. Fardell is unsure whether Hallam Senior College is invited to the competition just for 2015 or beyond, but he believes the growth of rugby league - especially in Victoria - will have organisers keen to keep the south-east Melbourne school around. “They said you’re in and they haven’t said anything yet about next year,” Fardell said.

“I know the people that are running this competition have a big eye on the development on the game and Victoria is a big part of that. “When people talk about Victorian schoolboys, they know that we’re number one.” Hallam is set to play its debut match in the GIO Cup on 20 May in Sydney before hosting a home-clash on Monday 15 June - either at Gosch’s Paddock or potentially AAMI Park as a curtain-raiser to the Melbourne Storm/Parramatta Eels NRL match. Applications for the school’s 2016 rugby academy intake are currently open - for more information visit www.hallamssc.vic.edu.au.

NPL 1 EAST - Round 11

City make it three straight By JARROD POTTER

Noble Park’s Marasinghe Perera - pictured trying to run out Ben Swift - was named a co-winner of the Val Holten Medal for the 2014/15 VSDCA season. 129255 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Issy takes some Holten By JARROD POTTER MARASINGHE ‘Issy’ Perera joined the echelon of elite Sub-District cricketers as he took out the Val Holten Medal on Friday night. The Noble Park all-rounder had a sublime year with bat and ball as he rattled off 633 runs at 57 and also snared 26 wickets at a lean average of 17. He polled 21 votes throughout the season to find himself atop the Holten count by night’s end - and Perera became a joint-winner of the Victorian Sub-District Cricket

Association’s highest individual accolade alongside Balwyn’s Liam Murphy. To cap off the success, the Bulls’ dynamo was also named in the VSDCA Team of the Year - Also starring on the night was Endeavour Hills’ wicketkeeperbatsman Ben Swift - who was named the Anthony Gale Medallist as the best player under-21 and also Zach Allen was named to the Team of the Year as one of the openers following a 498-run season and Victorian under-19 representation.

HOWLING gales lashed Frank Holohan Soccer Complex on Saturday afternoon, but even battling the wind and Kingston City was no issue for Dandenong City to pick up its third NPL1 East win in a row. The crowd was warmed up by a sensational piece of work from Brad Clarke - as the defender brought Dario Matkovic in to the box to open the City coffers in the 26th minute. Clarke started the piece to bring his Dandy City brethren into the box as the defender weaved his way past Kingston’s back men before playing in Matkovic. That’s how the score line would stay through a wind-swept and difficult afternoon, despite the best efforts of both sides. Matkovic and Keegan Ziada continued to pepper the goals and cause headaches for Kingston keeper Fraser Maclaren. Both defences held strong as a second goal could not be found in regulation as Dandenong City took the 1-0 win. “It was an important win - every win is important I should say - but that one was substantial as I don’t think we played our best football,” Dandenong City coach Aaron Healey said. “But we were good enough to get a goal in-front and good enough to keep a clean-sheet.” Healey praised the efforts of Clarke - who excelled out of right-back all day.

Foul or fair play? An interesting conundrum for the referee as Dandenong City’s Dario Matkovic was brought down near the box without being Picture: JARROD POTTER called. 138872 Thunder will rue its missed opportunity to book it away from the foot of the NPL ladder after conceding a late equaliser to finish 1-1 against last placed North Geelong Warriors. Yusuf Ahmed proved sensational once again as the 18-year-old beguiled the crowd at George Andrews Reserve to drive home his sixth goal of the season. His 57th minute strike - after a beautiful piece of ball-handling through the Warriors’ defence - should have been enough to give the Thunder the muchneeded three points, but were unable to hold out the Warriors til the final whistle. Abdirahman Ahmed flayed wildly at Nikola Jurkovic to give North Geelong a

chance to level the ledger from the penalty spot - which Matthew Townley had no trouble converting in the 75th minute. Dandenong Thunder sits 12th - just above the relegation zone - on nine points and will hope to add to its tally with an away win over Heidelberg on Sunday afternoon from 4pm (after the Journal goes to press so check the web site). In FFV State Leagues, South Springvale emerged triumphant from its trip to Warragul, knocking off United 2-1 via goals to Konstantinos Daskalakis and Konstantinos Stratomitros respectively. Sotuh Springvale sits fourth in FFV South East State League 1 and faces Langwarrin at home on Saturday.

Yet another starry night... Fernando By MICHAEL FLOYD FERNANDO Bale became just the second dog to break the 29 seconds at Sandown Park with an emphatic victory in a heat of the group 1 Harrison-Dawson at Sandown Park on Thursday evening. In a dazzling display of sustained speed, Fernando Bale equalled the first split record then went within 0.02 seconds of his own second split record before crossing the line in 28.98 seconds just 0.02 seconds outside of Bekim Bale’s long standing track record. “Each time he comes here he gets better and better… he’s perfect in every way, you just can’t fault him, he’s just amazing,” said his awestruck trainer Andrea Dailly. RSN Racing and Sport race caller James Van de Maat was equally emphatic in his assessment of the run. “He’s the best I’ve seen,” he said. “I was hoping he’d break the record. “He looks like he’s improving with each run too so I can’t wait to see what he can do next week.” Fernando Bale opened a

Fernando Bale continues to light up Sandown with yet another exceptional run on Thursday evening. 138867 $1.55 chance with tab.com. au and was backed into $1.25 before easing to his $1.40 starting price. It was the 17th time in his 21 start career he’s started favourite, and the ninth time he’s started odds on. The win was his eighth consecutive victory and 16th overall. After drawing box

one for Thursday night’s final, tab.com.au opened Fernando Bale a $1.15 chance to claim his third group 1 feature. It is the shortest price a greyhound has opened in a group-1 event. The biggest threat to Fernando Bale’s bid for a third

group-1 title is likely to come from kennelmate Usain I’m Nutty, which won the first Harrison-Dawson heat in a slick 29.30. Taking full advantage of box one, the recent group-2 Launching Pad winner ran home in a stunning 10.38, however his moderate sectional times and awkward box in the final means he will have to be at his peak to upset his kennelmate. Weston East broke a run of six outs to also score in 29.30, while Caustic Bale showed he’s returning to his best form with a 29.52 win in the other heat. The $145,000 group 1 Harrison-Dawson final, as well as the $145,000 group 1 Sapphire Crown final, will be run this Thursday evening (14 May). The two finals coincide with the heats of the $250,000 group 1 RSN Sandown Cup - the world’s richest race for stayers - the final of which will be run on Thursday 21 May.

Rangers get high as By JARROD POTTER MAKING up for a lack of height last year, the Dandenong Rangers have gone tall with the signing of rising star Alex Bunton, who will join the Rangers for the upcoming WNBL season. With only Lauren Scherf and Amanda Meinking troubling the tall timber in the WNBL, incoming coach Larissa Anderson rectified the problem, signing a 196cm centre. At only 21, Bunton has signed on with her fourth WNBL club, Dandenong, after WNBL stints with the AIS, Canberra Capitals and Adelaide Lightning. Her addition will create a power-packed front court with Scherf and returning US import Annalise Pickrel. “She’s a great size… only 21-years-old too, so she’s a great prospect,” Anderson said. “Legit five (centre), with lots and lots of potential to get better. “She’s super excited about a new start and working hard… I’m very excited to see what we can get out her.” Anderson admits the remaining item on the Rangers’ shopping

list is an influential swingman to fill the number-three position, but could be ticked off the list as soon as this week. “A three-man,” Anderson said. “We’ll see how we go. “We’re looking ok, but hopefully we’ll have an exciting signing coming next week and hopefully that’s happening over the next few days.” Anderson’s SEABL women had equally impressive signs on Saturday night as the Rangers knocked off perennial contender Geelong 85-75. Anderson, who was named SEABL Coach of the Month for April, saw her Rangers continue an impressive start to the year with the 10-point win. Seeing off the faster-finishing Supercats, Jacinta Kennedy (31 points, 8 rebounds) and Aimie Clydesdale (22 points, 8 rebounds) were exceptional alongside Clare Papavs (17 points). The men were unable to best Geelong in the second match on the card, downed 79-101 despite the best efforts of Daequon Montreal (21 points, 9 rebounds) and Chuck Long (19 points).

SPORT TAC CUP - Round 7

JOCs stand tall

Blowin’ in the wind

By JARROD POTTER VAFA DIVISION 2 - Round 5 CHALLENGED earnestly for the first time this year, St John’s had to dig deep to comefrom-behind to knock off Richmond Central. A perilously-even clash threatened to go either way, but in the end Ben McGee’s men stood victorious after a four-goal final term clinched the seven-point triumph. Rohan Scott continues to be a lace-out target for the JOCs as he bagged six goals, while powerful defender/ruck Daniel Cattolico also impressed alongside Rhys Dyker and Cameron Christiansen. The win keeps the JOCs atop the VAFA Division-2 ladder as the only unbeaten side and will host third ranked Old Paradians in St John’s biggest test yet.

By JARROD POTTER HARD-FOUGHT, wild and windy. It may not have been a skilful spectacle for the ages, but Dandenong did claim its status as a TAC Cup contender with a 21-point triumph over the previously unbeaten Eastern Ranges. Despite the best efforts of Samuel Weiderman - who booted five goals in a losing effort - the Ranges could not mount the scoreboard pressure necessary to restrict the Stingrays. Using the wind to their advantage in the third term, Dandenong booted away as it rattled off six goals to a solitary Ranges’ behind as James Freeman, Darcy Warke, Bailey Rice, Jake Di Pasquale and Josh Battle all split the sticks in a scintillating period. Needing to hold on despite the winds picking up and making scoring at the Eastern Freeway end virtually impossible, the defence was resilient under tremendous attack. Jordan Rouse, Keiran Collins - in only his second game this season - and Melbourne father-son prospect Jake Lovett repelled with aplomb from the defensive end to give the Stingrays a chance through the final stanza. In the end, Freeman would get on the end of an amazing run-from-defence by Bailey Rice who has been in the metro media sights this week as speculation swirls about his father-son decision between Carlton and St Kilda. Freeman’s goal would sink Eastern’s hopes and give Dandenong its biggest scalp of the year. Freeman and Zak Roscoe (two goals each) maintained their score-laden seasons as the main forward targets alongside Battle, who put up a tough contest all day as he flew for numerous contested grabs. “Our second half was definitely better than our first, our work-rate back and our intensity lifted so it was good for us,” Dandenong coach Craig Black said.

VAFA DIVISION 4 MASALA’S ascension to Division 4 is proving a tough pill to swallow, following a 70-point loss to North Brunswick. Jordan Toikalkin (three goals) was at his mercurial best - breaking the lines and running for days - while James Logan and Zachary Kelly also stood out. Masala will host Box Hill North this weekend.

EFL DIVISION 1 - Round 5 BLITZING North Ringwood, the Bulls showed its might in Eastern’s Division-1 competition, isn’t fleeting. The visitors would bag 20 goals as Kyle Martin (four goals) - regained top spot in the league’s goal kicking - with Ziggy Alwan (four goals) and Dan Keely (three goals) also having fun in the forward half. Craig Anderson, Sam Monaghan and Tim Harper were the main powerhouses pushing Noble Park to the 107-point triumph. Noble Park now heads up the mountain to face one of its main bogey sides from 2014 - Montrose.

Kurt Mutimer attempts to get the handball off. 138869 “I just thought Eastern was a really good footy team and we haven’t beaten them out there (Box Hill) since I’ve been involved, so it was good that the boys applied themselves and that’s what happens when you play a team-style of footy. “Hopefully that’s a platform for the season.” Black also praised the versatility of Harry Prior - who this week switched from defence into the ruck with the absence of prime tapping pair Jayden Bubb and Gach Nyuon. Moving back into the TAC Cup top six, with a 4-2 record, Dandenong will hope to stabilise its spot against the visiting Western Jets on Saturday morning from 11.30am.

A HOWLING result - both wind wise and on the scoreboard - as Endeavour Hills squandered chanceafter-chance against Ashwood. With a monstrous zephyr buffeting Barry Simon Reserve, all the Falcons and Magpies could do at the scoreboard end was to defend for their lives. Spraying everything that came its way, Endeavour Hills suffered at the goal-face with 20 behinds going through to let Ashwood off the hook. Without titan forward Daniel Morrison - derailed by a quad-injury the Falcons’ didn’t have the mercurial accuracy needed to get the job done. Even with the wind in the final term, Endeavour Hills could not outscore Ashwood as the visitors

booted four-goals-one to an embarrassing two-goals-seven. Shane Peake (four goals) held up his end of the bargain and continued a strong showing thus far in SFL Division 3 while Cade Marshall, Cedric Legrand and Nathan Crutchley were admirable across the field. Endeavour Hills has fallen from the top-four following consecutive losses and now sits eighth in the pecking order before hosting Lyndale at home. In other Division-3 results, Dandenong claimed its first win of the year - knocking over Southern Dragons by 58 points. The Redlegs were too strong for the returning Dragons as Chris Arnold (three goals) and Cameron Riley led the charge following a five-goal opening term to put the match beyond

Endeavour Hills’ Mitch Whatman spoils Ashwood’s Matt Menzies. 138871 Picture: JARROD POTTER doubt. Sandown’s Fevola-less forward-line suffered a five-point loss to Moorabbin while Lyndale just scraped across the line against Hallam, 10.6 (66) to 4.9 (33).

SFL DIVISION 2 KEYSBOROUGH continued its merry march through the SFL with a 27-point victory over Skye.

Tyson King (five goals) is blitzing all and sundry in the division while Will Gayfer, Shaun Witherden and Daniel Morland were best afield. Springvale Districts - defeated by Murrumbeena by 63 - and Doveton Eagles - lost by 66 to Highett - continued to struggle and are both at the foot of the SFL Division 2 ladder after five rounds.
