High-rise homes capped By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1170560-ACM06-15

LARGE swathes of residential streets in Dandenong and Noble Park will be quarantined from high-rise apartment developments under a proposal from Greater Dandenong Council. The council’s residential zones review report proposes a planning scheme C182 amendment that would shrink the “expansive” residential growth zone – effectively replacing four-storey developments with two-storey height limits. Streets excluded under the amendment would include a large zone east of Stud Road in Dandenong – sweeping from south of David Street to Pultney Street. Other rezoned areas include a Dandenong West block bordered by Jones Steet, Birdwood Avenue and Fifth Avenue. Large areas to the north, east and south of Noble Park CBD would also be taken out of the residential growth zone. Conversely, two areas west and east of Springvale would have height-limits lifted from two storeys up to three to reflect the “improved operation of Springvale activity centre... and lack of identified valued neighbourhood character”. The report presented to the council on Monday 15 June proposes to create a more gradual “step down” in development height and density in Dandenong and Noble Park’s periphery. “This approach will ensure that resi-

dential land supply is adequate to meet demand and generates a sustainable future built form while respecting and enhancing those areas with an identified neighbourhood character.” Councillor Matthew Kirwan, a vocal critic of the residential growth zone’s magnitude, said the reduction was not “anti-development”. “It’s about setting the boundaries right for developers to send the signal that we want medium and high density near the centres of the activity centres ... not in family residential streets that are not near the centre at all.” He said the changed focus would lead to more people living in the activity centres, enlivening them as has happened in Melbourne’s CBD. The revision is subject to approval and possible amendment from Planning Minister Richard Wynne and a public submission process. The proposed revision comes after a concerted residents’ campaign against multi-storey development. Resident Patsy Horne welcomed the planned excision of MacPherson Street from the residential growth zone but feared it might be too late to prevent a nearby application for six three-storey townhouses, which was valid under current height limits. Cr Kirwan said the amendment, if approved, wouldn’t apply retrospectively to prevent “a lot of speculative” multi-storey applications by developers in the affected streets.

Councils join up in asylum cash pitch By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong - along with 19 other Victorian councils - has formally presented its plea for more federal funding for asylum seekers living in the community. Campaign spearhead Councillor Roz Blades has vowed to “stay with it” after she and Greater Dandenong Mayor Sean O’Reilly presented the joint statement to Federal MP and Social Services Assistant Minister Mitch Fifield this month. Cr Blades said she hoped that extra funding would be provided in next year’s Federal Budget. “I’m reasonably confident because I’m really good at nagging.” Cr O’Reilly sought to present

and discuss the statement with Immigration Minister Peter Dutton in Canberra last week, but was unable to get an appointment. The statement was also presented to Isaacs MP and Shadow AttorneyGeneral Mark Dreyfus. The councils seek more funding for aid, statistics, social inclusion, services co-ordination, housing and education for asylum seekers - of whom more than 3600 live in Dandenong and its surrounds. According to a statement from Greater Dandenong council, the provision of asylum seeker services is increasingly falling on councils and community groups. There is a “genuine risk” that asylum seeker programs will fail to

meet the needs - if demand for resources continues to grow, the statement said. Senator Fifield said he discussed with Cr O’Reilly the “vibrant and culturally diverse community”. “I also advised the council that the government provides funding for a range of support services for migrants and refugees living in the community. “As I understand, the council... will submit their statement directly to the relevant state and federal ministers with responsibility for refugee and settlement services.” Mr Dreyfus intends to address parliament on the issue on 22 June, and raise the matter with federal colleagues.

One of the best THE Dandenong Journal was lauded at the annual Community Newspapers of Australia awards on Friday night. The Journal picked up four awards in the southern division for best editorial, best special publication and two top photographic awards. Stewart Chambers won best feature photograph for a picture taken at the Illuminated Voices exhibition at Heritage Hill. Judges said the photograph “uplifts humanity in a way that makes us think”. Rob Carew’s photograph of a blind serviceman placing a poppy at a cenotaph on Remembrance Day watched devotedly by his guide dog won best news photograph. The Journal’s Premier Regional Business Awards feature, put together by business writer Casey Neill, won best special publication. Judges said the paper took a “deep dive to really try and understand what makes the best businesses in the region tick”. Finally, the Journal’s open letter to Prime Minister Tony Abbott asking for more assistance for refugees and asylum seekers, which launched last year’s Give Us A Hand campaign, also drew praise from judges as “a stand out and brilliantly displayed on the front page”. Editor Narelle Coulter said the awards reinforced the Journal’s reputation as one of the country’s best community newspapers.

“I proudly support the key aims of the statement, to provide fair and appropriate support for asylum seekers and refugees in our community. “Unlike the Abbott Government which has slashed funding for social services and emergency relief in the Greater Dandenong community, I am committed to ensuring that the most vulnerable in our community are looked after.” According to government statistics released in December, there are 1632 asylum seekers on bridging E visas living in Dandenong - the highest for any suburb in Australia. Nearly another 2000 live in surrounding suburbs such as Doveton, Noble Park and Springvale.

Refugee’s fight for rights goes on

Shooting remand

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

A MAN faced a murder charge in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday morning over the shooting death of a man in Keysborough. Omer Cicekdaj, 25, of Doncaster East was charged with murder and was remanded in custody to reappear in court in October. Homicide Squad detectives had been investigating the death of father-of-three Ali Duyar, who was found collapsed in Bloomfield Road with a gunshot wound to his upper body on the evening of 10 June. He died later that night in The Alfred hospital.

Asher Hirsch, Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre's Wendy Fox and Hayatullah Rahimi at the Casey Picture: GARY SISSONS forum last week. 140583 Refugee Council of Australia policy officer Asher Hirsch told the forum that refugees often made a positive difference - they were more likely to start their own businesses than any other group of migrants or Australian-born people. Children of refugees were more likely to own their own homes, get better university qualifications, and be professionals or managers than children of Australian-born parents. He said it was time to link Aus-

tralian values to “our human concern for persecuted people”. That began with the national anthem that boasts of “boundless plains to share” for those who’ve “come across the seas”. The anthem’s next line “With courage let us all combine” is the theme of this year’s Refugee Week. Mr Hirsch said it took courage for refugees, who faced persecution in their homelands, to “step out into the unknown and... to start again

from scratch in a completely unfamiliar land”. Australians who spoke up against unjust treatment of persecuted people were also courageous albeit “on a much more modest level”, Mr Hirsch said. He said a “humane and sensible approach” was to end offshore processing, get children out of detention and process asylum seekers’ claims fairly as they waited in the community.

DANDENONG’S former asylum seeker Hayatullah Rahimi has fled the Taliban in Afghanistan and won permanent residency in Australia, but his struggles are far from over. Mr Rahimi, appointed by Refugee Council of Australia as a Refugee Week ambassador, is a staunch advocate of refugee rights and is determined to give back to his new homeland. At Casey council’s Refugee Week forum on Wednesday last week he described his experience of being an Afghan-Hazara refugee in Pakistan for eight years. He arrived in Australia in 2007 and was on a temporary protection visa until he gained permanent residency in 2010. During his period on a TPV, Mr Rahimi was without a welfare safety net or a HECS subsidy. So, unable to afford to study, he worked in a factory. Mr Rahimi, who is studying a social work honours degree, works as a case manager supporting new arrivals and refugees. “These people have gone through the same circumstances I went through,” he said. He has also appeared on TV and radio nationally and internationally to share the experience of being a refugee. “There’s a lot of Afghan people with their own businesses. “They share their food, their culture - they are not a burden to Australian society.”

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 not a street, but a lane - Dunbar Lane named in honour of a early publican George Dunbar.

Down memory lane from ancient Ireland THE Dunbar family came to Dandenong in 1852. George and his wife Anne were publicans and owned a succession of hotels in Lonsdale Street, when the main street was little more than a bush track. According to George Fenton Roulston in his book Reminiscences of Early Dandenong, George Dunbar built his first hotel, the Dandenong, in the late 1840s or ’50s near the corner of Walker Street and Lonsdale Street, near where Dunbar Lane is situated today. Roulston described it as being “typical of the time, the bar, with a shallow veranda in front of the hotel flanked by living rooms on one side and later by a store and the post office on the other”. “Dunbar’s Hotel was of palings and shingled roofed - that is the store and hotel part,“ he wrote. “The end building and stables, which were erected later, were of brick,

George K. Dunbar, second from left, and his wife Anne, far left, entertaining some of Dandenong's leading citizens of the 1860s. They are, back row, Mr T. Patterson, third from left, and Mrs Bartlett. Front row, from left, Mrs O. Potter, Mrs A. W. Bowman, Mr O. Potter, Mr A. W. Potter.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? and, by the way, may fairly claim to have been the first brick structures in the town.“ The hotel played a major role in Dandenong’s early history as the social centre of the village. The first Court of Petty Sessions was held there, the District Roads Board and later the Dandenong Shire Council met there and, when tragedy struck, the bodies were taken there and inquests were conducted on the premises. It housed the post office in 1853. At about this time George Dunbar built a new hotel, next to the original building, which butcher James Greaves then occupied. “On Mr Greaves’s removal to premises in Langhorne Street, Mr Dunbar pulled down the old buildings and built

a fine billiard-room and a shop, and converted the end brick position into banking premises for the Provincial and Suburban Bank which, in time, gave way to Dawson’s Royal Hotel,“ wrote Roulston. George Dunbar was born in Ireland, the third son of Reverend John Dunbar, rector of Ballybay, County Monaghan. George had been studying medicine

in Ireland before he emigrated to Australia and he was often called on by the fledgling Dandenong community for his medical skills. George Roulston recounts one story in his book involving a local Aboriginal man known as Jimmy, who had a knife thrust into his buttock during a family dispute. “Mr Dunbar drew the edges of the

wound together firmly, whilst Mrs Dunbar rushed inside for the surgical box. The blood poured from the wound, which was deep and fairly long. “Other helpers held Jimmy whilst Mr Dunbar drew the edges of the wound together, inserted several stitches, and did all that was possible for his patient. The Journal recorded Mr Dunbar’s death “after a long illness on Tuesday September 21, 1875”. “Mr Dunbar besides being the builder and occupier of the first house in the main street of Dandenong, took an active part in all movements for the advancement of the town of his creation. “Mr Dunbar was a member of a very ancient Irish family, and traced back in peerage to 1616.” Want to know the history behind a street name in Greater Dandenong?

I escaped stopping a bullet until 9am, when I copped one in the arm just above the elbow. However I battled on until 3pm in the afternoon when I had to give in. I was put on a hospital ship, and the bullet was extracted. I hope to be back in the firing line by the time you receive this letter. The noise of battle is something awful, and the hospital ship on

Probe into attacks POLICE are investigating two armed robberies in Noble Park last week which could be linked. In both incidents, which occurred within an hour of each other, the victims were approached from behind and threatened with a weapon. The first victim was cornered as he walked down Corrigan Road towards Noble Park train station about 5.45am on Monday 15 June.

The male attacker grabbed the victim from behind and threatened him with a spanner, demanding his wallet. The victim handed over his wallet and the robber ran to a dark coloured sedan and drove off. The second victim was approached between 6am and 6.30am on the same morning as he walked along Buckley Street in Noble Park, a block away from the first robbery.

He was also approached from behind and hit over the head with what appeared to be a metal pole. The robber demanded the victim’s backpack and continued to threaten the victim when he refused to hand it over. It’s believed the offender managed to take the bag from the victim and ran away. The offender in the second robbery is described as African in appearance, approximately 185cm tall, of thin build, and was

wearing a black balaclava at the time. There was no description supplied for the offender involved in the first incident. A police spokeswoman said she wasn’t ruling out the possibility that the same person may have carried out both robberies. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Litter beauty battle more than skin deep DANDENONG council is doing its bit in the battle to keep Australia beautiful. The City of Greater Dandenong took first prize for winning the Litter Prevention category at the Keep Australia Beautiful Sustainable Cities Awards last Friday. The Litter Prevention prize was awarded to Dandenong Council for its education program which is aimed at raising awareness about littering and rubbish dumping offences. The program also highlights reporting options for people who witness littering. It has seen an increase in the reporting of dumped rubbish in Greater Dandenong and aims to reduce the number of incidents in the municipality. “We know that the environment is more than trees and animals. “It is the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the way we travel and the buildings we live in,” Dandenong Mayor Sean O’Reilly said. “We are overwhelmingly committed to creating a sustainable mu-

Dandenong Council Litter Prevention Officer Amy McLoughlin, here with mascot Lily Litter, holds the Keep Australia Beautiful prize. 140506 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS nicipality for our future generations. “The fact we were finalists across so many categories at the Keep Australia Beautiful Awards shows this.”

The City of Greater Dandenong was a finalist in six categories at the event, receiving ‘highly commended’ awards for two more of its projects.

The first was the Asylum Seeker Pilot Project at Roth Hetherington Reserve in Keysborough where groups of asylum seekers have been working on renewing the botanic gardens. And the second was the Great Bin Swap campaign which saw 135,000 new and old bins changed over. Councillor Matthew Kirwan congratulated the City of Greater Dandenong on its awards and for being a finalist in the coveted Sustainable City of the Year category, but urged residents to keep striving to lift the environmental bar. “Being a finalist is recognition that we have made significant progress but still have further work to do,” he said. “Other councils do more to use renewable energy and also engage their residents more substantially in community initiatives around sustainability. “We have more to do to catch up with our councils in reducing both our own council’s environmental footprint but also our community’s footprint.” - LACHLAN MOORHEAD

INTERACTIVE boards are now highlighting three of Greater Dandenong’s many World War I connections. City of Greater Dandenong officially opened the Anzac Trail signs at Dandenong Primary School last Thursday, 11 June, as part of celebrations to mark 100 years since Australian troops landed at Gallipoli. Visitors will be able to link their mobile phones to the boards to access information. Students at the school rose to the challenge of supporting the war effort. The other two signs are at the Drum Theatre, which was the old town hall where recruits signed up, and Dandenong High School, which was built after the war in 1921 thanks to inaugural principal Percy Langford who served in Gallipoli with the 4th Light Horse. Six other markers will be installed at different locations across the municipality by Remembrance Day on 11 November. Locations will include the Dandenong Drill Hall, which was built in 1916 and used to drill citizen soldiers in compulsory military training. The Noble Park settlement was purchased to house returning soldiers and the Mechanics

Lastly, there’ll be signs at the Red Cross Dandenong Branch, which was formed in 1914, and Peace Memorial Bridge, Dandenong, which is one of the few surviving engineering works constructed during WWI.

Home at risk By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

A MOTHER has put her home on the line to allow her heroinaddicted daughter to walk free from court on bail. Diep Lam, who has multiple prior convictions for heroin trafficking and cannabis growing, was released on bail last Monday to live with her Springvale South mother on a strict night curfew. The court was told the unemployed mother had no assets other than her own house and was unable to afford the $15,000 surety if her daughter breached bail. “I’m willing to support her,” the mother said with the aid of a Vietnamese interpreter. “I don’t want to see her like this.” Police prosecutor Senior Constable Kerryn Buschgens,

in opposing bail, said Lam had offended before while staying at the house. “The change of environment won’t change her offending,” she said. “She’s unemployed, has an ongoing drug addiction and no way of financing it but from drug trafficking.” According to a prosecution bail summary, Lam was charged with trafficking when allegedly found with $4785 cash in her purse and up to 12 grams of heroin on her person outside the Monash Hotel pokies venue in Clayton on 7 May. Police also found her with a small clear bag of an illicit “crystal substance” and 28 tablets, which were believed to be a benzodiazepine medication, Xanax. She will also face re-sentencing for breaching two com-

munity corrections orders – one handed down at the County Court for similar drug offences. Defence lawyer Esan Pilai said Lam would be in a “positive position” for “pharmacological intervention”, having abstained from drugs while in remand and with the support of her mother, brother and sister. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Lam couldn’t blame her mother for her predicament. “Your family are very good people. The life you have been leading has led you to being in custody twice. “If you can’t look your family honestly in the face and tell the truth to them... I don’t know where it leads after that.” Lam was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 20 July.

Hunt for factory car thieves POLICE have released CCTV images of several men they want to speak to after a car was stolen from outside a Dandenong factory this month. An armed man approached his victim outside the Allied Motors factory in Bennet Street about 10.30pm on Friday 5 June where he threatened him and demanded his car keys before making off with the victim’s 2000 Camry sedan. The offender is described as approximately 175cm tall, Caucasian or Middle Eastern in appearance, aged in his mid to late twenties, and was wearing a light coloured jacket with a

Police say they’re still not happy despite report showing crime fall By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS REPORTED crimes in Greater Dandenong have dipped in the past year but there’s still “a long way to go until we’re happy”, says Inspector Paul Marshall of Victoria Police. In the year ending in March 2015 there were 16,048 reported offences – down 1.9 per cent. Inspector Marshall said drug offences had slightly dropped due to a targeting of the cultivators and manufacturers. “We’re not targeting users so much but generating intelligence from them to target the supply chain.” The drug ice was still con-

World game global pitch By CASEY NEILL

THE World Game is living up to its moniker in Dandenong. Soccer is uniting youth from around the world on the pitch, and has sent two young leaders to the other side of the globe. Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) is running the I Speak Football program at Mills Reserve from 4.30pm each Monday during terms two and three. Malesh Jadaeile from Doveton is a youth facilitator for the free activity designed to highlight discrimination, equality and participation. “It’s not like a club… we play games usually at the end of the session,” he said. “We get them to do social activities to get to know each other. “It’s not all about football, there’s some social cohesion.” Mr Jadaeile said eight people took part in the first session but this had grown to about 30. Lyndale Secondary College students Caroline, 16, and Nasri, 18, wanted to indulge their love for soccer and meet new people.

“Whoever was alone, I went up to them the other day,” Caroline said. “For the girls, some of them think they’re not good enough to play with the boys so you just tell them ‘be yourself and don’t worry about how good or how bad you are, just have fun’. “During the games the girls have to touch the ball twice before we can score a goal. “I would like more kids to come and have a shot at it.” I Speak Football has also joined global community initiative Cityzens Giving, run through the Manchester City, New York City and Melbourne City football clubs. Two young leaders who helped to initiate and run the weekly sessions in Dandenong were chosen to travel to Manchester, England, for the first City Football Global Young Leader Summit on 13 June. Lena Mirzae, 19, from Cranbourne East, said she wanted the program to combat racial discrimination and barriers. “Whenever everyone’s here they forget about it,” she said. “Everyone’s in the mindset of playing football and making some connections.”

tributing to a lot of serious crimes such as property damage, thefts and assaults, he said. “More importantly, it’s a family breaker,” Insp Marshall said of the drug. “It turns good people and makes them do horrific things such as stealing their family’s property and pawning the items.” He said theft of vehicles, theft from vehicles - including number plates - and burglaries remained highly prevalent. “The vast majority of this offending is opportunistic,” Insp Marshall said. “We urge people to lock their doors and cars, to take

responsibility for their own property.” He said there was a “considerable” surge in family violence and intervention order breaches. “We’re happy with that because that’s an indication that the community has confidence to bring these issues to us and that we’re holding people to account.” Insp Marshall said targeting family violence offenders was leading to “reports of family violence going up but recidivism going down”. There were significant reductions in thefts, propertyby-deception and public order crimes, he said.

24th - 28th june / 9am - 4pm

The bachelor of business student said attending the conference was a dream come true. “I had an exam clashing with it and they wouldn’t give me special consideration so I decided to withdraw from the unit and do this,” she said. “We’ll build up our leadership skills and bring them back home. “I’ve always been a big fan of soccer, it’s in my blood. “Back home in Afghanistan this kind of opportunity was limited, especially for the girls.” Mohammad Zarjan, 23, from Dandenong, was also excited about the conference and thrilled with how the project was developing. “People are enjoying it and having fun and laughing,” he said. “Different people from different backgrounds are playing together and talking together and are happy. “They forget about their past and their suffering and come together and play.” Call Rei Kori on 9340 3700 or email rkori@cmy.net.au for more information about I Speak Football or to get involved.

Expert voices By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IT’S an empowering thing to be heard. Greater Dandenong Council’s youth think tank - an energised group of about 15 young people - has made its voice heard to the council over the past two years. It’s like a more grown-up parliament but is not shackled by petty politics while it discusses the things that matter. Last week - during Refugee Week - it extended the megaphone to others aged 16-25, including refugees, at an open forum. Before the discussions, think tank member Khalid said he looked forward to hearing from refugees on their settlement

challenges such as employment, well-being and access to services. They are, after all, the “experts in their circumstances”, he said. “If you’ve been here for a few years in Australia, it can be a bit tough. But when you’re in a community that’s welcoming and in harmony, you forget the tough situations. “You know there’s support around the corner. “Over time the settlement issues will pass.” The forum’s key findings are to be distributed to the region’s service providers. Co-member Myky said there was still a lack of understanding about refugees, especially outside of multicultural

Greater Dandenong. The think tank has taken a visible stand on social issues, last year producing a Not In My Name video to support the Muslim community against bigotry. The video, which featured a host of young people affirming the sentiment, scored thousands of hits. “The video was pretty much to unite the community. There’s been a lot in the media about what’s going on in the Muslim community,” Khalid said. “It was an empowering tool.” Myky adds: “It was great to know people cared. “We’re growing up in a generation of youth who want to make a difference.”

Class take over By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

Cecilia, Leah, Daniel and Ronald getting down to work with colleague, principal Greg White. 139562

Connecting people and communities

FOR one day four Grade 6 students from St Mary’s Primary School weren’t themselves - instead they were the principal of the school. A big job reserved normally for one was spread among the students and their principal, Greg White, from the first bell to the last. Lunch was had in the staff room with fellow colleagues, along with a special welcome morning tea. The students then hit the playground for yard duty as well as answering the phone and attending meetings.

Mr White said the students, who were in professional attire, even gave him advice. “They got to shadow me for the day and we received some excellent feedback from them. One student said it was one of the best things they’d done all year,” Mr White said. This is the second time the school has got on board with the national initiative. “Just to be absorbed into what leaders do around the school on a daily basis was very exciting, the day gives me a chance to listen to their student voice and that’s something we should do

more often,” he said. The students got to read a picture book to a classroom of younger students and answer their questions about the book as part of ‘story time with the principal’ which is something Mr White does three times per term with parents and students. “We walked around the school and discussed any safety hazards we could identify and held a meeting to discuss what it means to be a leader,” he said. Grade 5 and 6 students were all welcome to apply to become the principal for the day and Mr White said there

were so many good entries he couldn’t pick just one student. “They had to write a persuasive text on why they should be picked. "I read them all and the quality was so good I choose four,” he said. Three hundred students and 176 schools across Australia participated in the Principals Australia Institute’s Principal for a Day program. “I think the whole day was a highlight for them, it was an opportunity they were given and something they will treasure forever,” Mr White said.

IN BRIEF

Dog left sweltering in car

A RETIREE has been given a good-behaviour bond after absent-mindedly locking his dog inside a ute for an hour on a high-30 degree day in Queen Street, Dandenong. Dale Ross told police he was visiting a business longer than anticipated while his distressed dog was found heavily panting and lying on its side inside the ute on 6 February. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told that Ross had intended to leave a window open but was concerned his dog would be agitated by another canine outside the vehicle. Ross’s lawyer told the court on 15 June that a vet’s reference vouched for the accused caring well for the dog in the past eight years. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen equated the impact as similar to leaving a child in a car, which would have been much hotter than the estimated 35-38 degrees centigrade outside. Had Ross been sitting in the vehicle, he would surely extract himself within an hour; the dog didn’t have that choice, Mr Vandersteen said. “On any measure the dog was left in the car for far too long.” Mr Vandersteen took into account Ross’s age and guilty plea as he sentenced him to a 12-month good-behaviour bond without conviction.

If the shoe fits

A BOY from Dandenong North and one from Noble Park were among four teenagers who were arrested and charged after an assortment of running shoes were taken from a Berwick garage. The boys allegedly stole the shoes from the Howard Close property about 11pm on Friday 12 June but were soon arrested by PSOs at Berwick train station after police put a call out with a description of the alleged offenders. The teenagers - one from Dandenong North, one from Noble Park and two from Pakenham - were charged and released on bail.

MORE than 1000 petitioners have urged the State Government to build a primary school in Keysborough South. This month, Nina Kelly of Keysborough South Action Group presented the petition to Keysborough MP Martin Pakula, who will table it in parliament. The group argues there is no state primary school within walking distance of the suburb’s rapidly-growing housing estates. The State Government has yet to provide funding for acquiring land or construction of the school. An Education Department spokesman recently said there was currently “capacity” in the Keysborough network to “accommodate short-term growth forecasts”. Greater Dandenong Council has set aside $3 million in its draft 2015-’16 budget to lock away land for a future state primary school.

MR. JackPOt LiNk JackPOt

IT’S refreshing to see an accused so relaxed in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. As a man applied for an adjournment - so he could attend drug rehab in Thailand - he was lectured by the judge to “just sit up properly and uncross your legs”. The matter was re-scheduled for October. At that, the man got up and said: “All right, ciao!” As he exited the room, he could be heard bellowing: “See youse later!”

have materially changed” - meaning a further five case briefs and outstanding warrants had been uncovered against her client. The judge remanded him in custody until his next hearing in mid-July. Realising he would spend at least another month behind bars, the applicant shook his head and spat: “This is a f***ing joke!” Belatedly, his lawyer told her client to “shush” as he was led away to the cells.

STRANGE events in Pultney Street. Last Monday morning there were surprisingly paddock-size swathes of empty car spaces outside Dandenong Magistrates’ Court and Dandenong Park. Has there been a grey-ghost blitz on all-day parkers clogging up the two-hour spaces?

THE Noble Park Community Art Show has been given a boost thanks to a $4000 grant from the RACV. Noble Park Community Centre executive officer Brian Woodman said the grant would enable more prizes to be awarded to encourage local artists. The 10th annual art show will be officially launched on 23 July.

It’s time to get serious about our health. People who inject drugs are seriously endangering not only their own lives but also our children and emergency services workers. Reports available of new cases of HIV and AIDS have disclosed an increased trend in new infections over the last few years. It’s time that our State Government realised that specially dedicated facilities are a frontline service in discouraging habitual drug users from administering dangerous drugs in parks and children’s playgrounds, in laneways, in doorways and corridors, car parks and stairwells. Such behaviours are not just a sad sight but are behaviours that

create community hazards from discarded needles and add to the spread of the deadly HIV virus and AIDS. Safe injecting facilities have now been in existence for many years and have a proven record of not only reducing the level of deaths from drug overdoses, but reducing the level of discarded needles found in the usual places. Safe injecting facilities are far more than just places to continue a dangerous habit, they provide counselling and support to give up the habit. They also provide assistance and information about a whole range of community support services such as medical services, housing services and health education. It’s time now to take action, especially in the two hotspot regions

Brake failure By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

A MAN who blamed a Monash Freeway multi-vehicle crash on his failed brakes has been punished with a good-behaviour bond. The 19-year-old Berwick TEC graduate and building apprentice veered left into another lane to avoid a stopped car among the freeway’s outbound heavy traffic in Endeavour Hills in February, a court was told. In doing so, his vehicle clipped a Hilux and spun out of control across two lanes of the freeway, hitting a towed boat trailer and a Renault. The collision caused the Renault to roll over; its driver

hospitalised for three days due to glass showering his ear. The accused’s lawyer told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday the man pleaded guilty to careless driving but the case was not “typical” of a “19-year-old hooning along”. The man had been travelling at 80 kilometres per hour, applied the brakes and “it just wasn’t happening”, the lawyer said. The man was at the time on his way home from a booked car service, which included a brake check, “under the impression that everything was shipshape”, the court was told. A post-accident inspection found the front brake pads were

Monday, 22 June, 2015 Page 41

worn “very low” and should have been changed - but were still roadworthy. The driver had undergone a safe-driver course before the incident, had not incurred a demerit point since gaining his licence two years ago and cared for his unwell mother, the man’s lawyer said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said it was fortunate given the number of vehicles damaged that no-one was seriously injured or killed. In granting a 12-month good-behaviour bond, Mr Vandersteen took into account the man’s age, strong work ethic, financial circumstances and absence of prior convictions.

Obscured glass the answer THREE double-storey townhouses got the green light in a Springvale street amid fears refusing a permit could create a worse outcome for concerned residents. City of Greater Dandenong councillors approved the development at 20 Merton Street at their 9 June meeting - 10 voted in favour and Councillor Peter Brown abstained. The permit requires obscured glass on windows overlooking neighbouring properties, following objections from residents. Cr Brown said the measure didn’t go far enough. “Windows can be changed later,” he said. “The overlooking is an issue. “I just put myself in the shoes of the people who live next door.”

Cr Brown said other blocks in the established residential area had just one dwelling and the council should be replicating this. He said two double storey dwellings “might well be doable” but three were not. “As best as possible is not good enough,” he said. Cr Roz Blades said the obscured glass worked for the developer and objectors. “Everybody’s got a right to privacy,” she said. Cr Matthew Kirwan said rejecting the application outright risked a worse outcome for residents if the developer appealed to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). “I think three two-storey town houses is a reasonable develop-

ment for this area,” he said. Cr Youhorn Chea said VCAT would reverse any council decision to reject the application. Cr Jim Memeti said each councillor received a call from a concerned resident the night before the meeting, asking for help. He said obscured glass made sense and that with other strict conditions, the application met requirements. A council officer report said the application included adequate on-site parking and the site had good access to the Springvale activity centre. What do you think?

Stomping hits the ground By CASEY NEILL THE MCG steps will help a Keysborough man on his journey towards Kokoda. Keysborough’s Mark Capper has signed up for the Stadium Stomp, to climb 7343 steps around the top and bottom levels of the stadium on Sunday 5 July. He’s registered a team under the Trek 4 Education banner, a group he established to support education for children in Papua New Guinea. Mr Capper will lead a group along the Kokoda Track in August next year, delivering educational supplies to schools along the way. “Because we’ve got so much time before we really have to start it’s a good way just to get the momentum going,” he said. “Last year we raised $9000 and our target was $5000. We blitzed that. “We’re hoping to do the same again at least for next year.” Mr Capper, his wife Julie and 10 other people made the inaugural Trek 4 Education last September. “Many Australians use their trek to raise money for causes back home - all very worthy - but most people forget that the people of the Kokoda Track

the daily struggles of living in a Third World country and this is even more exaggerated in rural areas,” he said. Mr Capper said the country was rebuilding schools and training teachers

but still lacked basic supplies. “The kids along the Kokoda Track are direct descendants of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels and it is very wellknown that our Diggers received

much-needed support and comfort from them during the Japanese attacks in 1942,” he said. The Cappers also donate money to the Kokoda Track Foundation, which awards scholarships and provides classroom supplies. Wallara office manager and executive assistant Kay Noy from Dandenong took part in the Stadium Stomp half course last year and has signed up for the 1890-step challenge again. Leukaemia claimed her cousin’s life five years ago and Stadium Stomp participants are encouraged to fundraise for the Leukaemia Foundation. “Once you get to the top it’s an amazing feeling,” Ms Noy said. “Last year I did it on my own but this year I’m doing it with my son’s partner, Rachel. “You can go your own pace.” Ms Noy hasn’t completed any specific training but keeps fit through netball, running and gym work. “I just love exercise and I love keeping fit,” she said. Visit www.trek4education.com to support Mr Capper and www.stadiumstomp.com.au/MCG for more event information.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Company pays out after short-changing staff A DANDENONG transport company which was formally cautioned last year after short-changing its staff thousands of dollars now faces enforcement action after admitting further underpayments. The Fair Work Ombudsman has required that long distance trucking business Logistics 1 enters into an enforceable undertaking. Last year the company received a letter of caution after it was found to have short-changed 41 staff almost $25,000. The Fair Work Ombudsman received another request for assistance

from a Logistics 1 employee in January who was also found to have been underpaid more than $2300. “Unfortunately the company failed to learn from its earlier mistakes,” Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James said. Ms James said Logistics 1 had now signed a workplace pact which was designed to encourage behavioural change and future compliance with workplace laws. Logistics 1 will provide a written apology to staff for its behaviour and give a commitment that it will not happen again.

Further, the company will commission workplace relations training for its managers and engage an external professional to review its pay practices over a two-year period. The enforceable undertaking also requires the company to use the Fair Work Ombudsman’s My Account online tool, as well as subscribe to the bi-monthly employer newsletter and pay rate alerts for the Road Transport (Long Distance Operations) Award 2010. The company has also agreed to report back to the Fair Work Ombudsman on the systems and processes it

implements to ensure future workplace compliance. Logistics 1 director Mark Lowe said the company had a timeframe to which it was working to satisfy the requirements of the enforceable undertaking. “We are working closely with the Fair Work Ombudsman to identify these incidents, of which there haven’t been many,” he said. Ms James said enforceable undertakings were introduced by legislation in 2009 and the Fair Work Ombudsman had been using them against

companies that breached workplace laws without the need for civil court proceedings. “We use enforceable undertakings where we have formed a view that a breach of the law has occurred, but where the employer has acknowledged this and accepted responsibility and agreed to co-operate and fix the problem,” Ms James said. Employers and employees seeking further information or advice are encouraged to visit www.fairwork.gov.au or call the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94 for free advice.

Trade links build new bridges to Cambodia By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

IT MAY be a trick of positive thinking but Cambodia gets a bad rap, according to Keysborough’s Kalyan Ky. While Australia pays Cambodia to re-settle asylum seekers, Ms Ky has eyes on a different trade that she hopes will bear fruit for Greater Dandenong’s economy. Ms Ky has jetted between the two countries to build economic and cultural links as interim president of Cambodia Australia Chamber of Commerce, Innovation and Industry. Recently she met with luminaries such as Cambodia’s Tourism Minister Dr Thong Khon to announce a tourism promotion. She said Cambodia was slandered by “myths” of human rights abuse and corruption but that the country was enjoying a period of stability. “I initially thought those statements were true but when working with the Cambodian Government and seeing things myself, I found it greatly exaggerated. “There are poor people – that’s part of society. It doesn’t have the budget or resources that Australia has to help anyone. “But people can go from very poor to very rich - the government doesn’t intervene as much in your private life.” Ms Ky – a self-described “very optimistic person” and Greater Dandenong Young

Achiever of the Year – said the exported asylum seekers would have a “good opportunity” to make good lives. From her experience, the Cambodian Government was open to logical business ideas. “I knew no-one. My family is a refugee family but the government took on my idea and the opportunities. “Cambodia has acknowledged trade is opening up. Australia is a very good market and they want to strengthen this between the countries. “I was lucky it was the right time.” She wants to establish a trade hub locally to create opportunities for Cambodia’s ex-pats to invest and help re-build the country into a major trading post. For example, a local-based tour company could tap into the healthy stream of 140,000 Australian tourists visiting Cambodia. There were also openings for importer companies and skill-providers. “It was a new government. Because of the Khmer Rouge, lots of skilled people were wiped out. “They need tradespeople and skills and knowledge.” Ms Ky said the potential trade was a chance to create much sought-after jobs for young people in Greater Dandenong.

City band still an honour By CASEY NEILL BROTHERS Bruce and Alan Collard joined the City of Greater Dandenong Band because it was struggling for players. That was in 1965. This month band president Tim Hellyer, Bruce’s grandson, inducted them into the band’s Honour Wall for their 50 years of service. “Induction to the Honour Wall is awarded to members who have rendered extraordinary service to the band, as elected by the band committee,” he said. “This is a monumental milestone, one of which I do not believe the band has ever seen before and will very unlikely see again. “Their names are synonymous with the City of Greater Dandenong Band and I may be biased but in my eyes they are true legends of this band.” Tim said exact figures couldn’t be calculated but it was likely that Bruce and Alan had performed with the band more than 1000 times each – excluding rehearsals. “Alan and Bruce are two of the most loyal, committed, hard-working, and kindest people that have ever been members of the City of Greater Dandenong Band and served the City of Greater Dandenong,” he said. Tim said they were both extremely dedicated band members. Alan rushed to Ballarat to meet his band duties just hours after the birth of his son on 15 October 1966. “The band then went on to win the C Grade section of the championship this year – a feat that would have been

Alan and Bruce Collard with band president, and Bruce's grandson, Tim Hellyer. highly unlikely if not for Alan’s commitment,” Tim said. The brothers both also served on the band committee, Bruce as band custodian for 25 years. “In my diggings through boxes out the back I have found extremely de-

tailed record books of band equipment that has been lent out to players – and I mean all band equipment, from instruments right down to epaulettes and bowties,” Tim said. Bruce has played the flugelhorn, baritone, horn and cornet while Alan

has specialised in the cornet. They’re regulars at Anzac Day services, Carols by Candlelight in Dandenong Park, an annual cabaret at Springvale Town Hall and more. “We were on Neighbours as a marching band, when old Harold used

to play the euphonium,” Alan said. “We played at political rallies in front of Springvale Town Hall when Billy McMahon was running for election. “It’s a great hobby to have. “We’ll continue as long as we’re able to.” Bruce enjoys having his grandson play alongside him. “He can blame me for starting him off,” he said. “He’s a very good boy. He’s a good player as well. He’s a leading light in Dandenong band, being president as well as the top seat as first solo cornet player. “I’ve gradually worked my way down to the lower cornet end, of third cornet. “I’m 85 now, I’m starting to slow down a bit. I hope to keep going.”

Endeavour Hills’ NBA champion

Bogut takes the diamonds By RUSSELL BENNETT Andrew Bogut didn’t play a minute in the decisive Games 5 and 6 of the NBA Finals against the Cavaliers and the unstoppable force that is LeBron James, but the 30-year-old is an incredibly deserving owner of a diamond-encrusted championship ring. The seven-footer was replaced at the centre position in the starting line-up by rising star Draymond Green, with rookie head coach Steve Kerr - a five-time NBA champion player in his own right - opting for a ‘small ball’ rotation. Truth be told, the move was one that needed to be made. The versatile Green shone, as did David Lee and veteran swingman Andre Iguodala when the latter was inserted into the starting five. The Warriors went into the series as red-hot favourites, and the odds shortened even more when the Cavs’ star point guard - the Melbourneborn Kyrie Irving - fractured his knee cap. But the Cavs took a 2-1 lead in the best of seven match-up on the back of one of the all-time great individual finals’ series from LeBron James. League Most Valuable Player (MVP) Steph Curry and the other half of the ‘splash brothers’ long-range shooting tandem Klay Thompson were held to below their best, as the ‘Delyrium’ surrounding another Victorian - Irving’s replacement at starting point-guard, Matthew Dellavedova - took hold.

In Game 4, Bogut was replaced in the starting line-up and the Warriors stormed to a 103-82 win in Cleveland. It was the series’ decisive moment. He could have easily sulked as he sat on the bench and ultimately found himself out of the rotation altogether... but he didn’t. That’s not his way. All the big man wants is to win, and this championship signifies a glittering crowning glory in a long, and at times frustrating road. The sheer jubilation was etched all over Bogut’s face as he was one of the first to embrace Green and Lee after the nervy final few minutes of the Cavs’ 105-97 Game-6 victory. The Warriors have won their first title in 40 years, and a big man from Endeavour Hills who was written off countless times throughout his formative years in the game will forever be remembered as an NBA champion. Bogut was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the first overall pick in the 2005 draft and earlier this year passed Luc Longley as the Australian to play the most NBA games. He has battled through a series of freakish injuries over his career to date but he has still played at least 65 games in seven seasons so far, and is regarded by many as one of the best passing big men of his era. In the 2014/15 regular season he was named to the NBA’s All-Defensive Second Team after holding opponents to just 41.4 per cent at the rim

FFA CUP - Preliminary Rounds, Victorian Qualifiers - Round 7

After a long career of ups and downs, Andrew Bogut can now lay claim to being an NBA Picture: CONTRIBUTED champion. 139785 (third best in the league) and being ranked third in defensive rating. “While you’re resting, someone else is working,” Bogut said in an interview with one of the Gazette’s sister papers, the Berwick News, in 2013. “I always had it in the back of my mind growing up that there was a kid elsewhere training right at that moment in either Europe or America,” he said. “And I was competing with him.” The Australian Boomers cornerstone was cut from multiple representative teams as a teenager - his unwavering competitiveness even then wrongly branded as an “attitude problem”.

Yet after the Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals this season, iconic former coach Jeff Van Gundy said in his role as an ESPN commentator: “You don’t get to this level without talent, and habits… the Warriors have championship habits… when you combine great talent and depth with the right habits, you win big in this league”. When Kerr stood on the dais after holding the Larry O’Brien NBA championship trophy, he said the key was simply sacrifice. Referring to the likes of Bogut, Lee, Green and newly crowned Finals’ MVP Iguodala his words were carefully spoken. “It was all about sacrifice… they were all in it just to win… it’s the only thing that mattered.”

A born leader with a zest for life By RUSSELL BENNETT

A gallant South Springvale line-up was knocked over by NPL side Oakleigh in a 1-2 Pictures: JARROD POTTER defeat. 140649

All guts… but sadly no glory By JARROD POTTER ZEUS’ lightning it seems doesn’t strike twice as South Springvale Aris fell at the final hurdle in pursuit of its second FFA Cup appearance. In the battle of two Victorian Greek clubs, it seems the Gods favoured Oakleigh Cannons just that little bit more. After dictating the tempo of the first half, Aris was taken by surprise as Dean Piemonte rattled off the first goal of the match. He found too much room between South Springvale defenders and rocketed a shot into Aris’ goalkeeper George Malliaras.

Aris peppered the Cannons’ goals - with Konstantinos Stratomitros connecting with the two best chances as well as Konstantinos Daskalakis making dangerous moves - but the Aris account would remain empty at the half. After the resumption Treymayne Sadler headed home a corner to push South Springvale even further behind with the minutes ticking down. A last-ditch penalty in the 87th minute - ably thumped home by Daskalakis after Mirjan Pavlovic was sent from the ground - set the scene for a frenetic final five minutes, but in the end the Cannons were able to withstand the Aris barrage

to advance to the final four in the Dockerty Cup and more importantly, book their place in the FFA Cup Round of 32. The Aris’ winter effort will now be focused solely on its FFV State League 1 SouthEast campaign where they are currently ranked third. The other remaining State League side - Frankston Pines - was eliminated 1-6 by former NSL side South Melbourne. In remaining FFV Cup fixtures, Heidelberg United face Goulburn Valley Suns on Tuesday while Hume City helmed by former Dandenong Thunder skipper Shane Rexhepi - will take on Kingston City on Wednesday.

“HE WAS half my age but I looked up to him.” Doveton Eagles footballer and junior coach Dave Morison only met Axl Abson in May last year, but in that brief time the young player had a profound impact on him. Indeed, the 16-year-old Axl had a profound impact on everyone he met in all facets of his life - it went far beyond the boundaries of any footy field. So when he died suddenly from a burst appendix on 6 June, his loss was immediately felt right across the south east. Axl was in Year 11, doing his VCE at Wonthaggi Secondary College - having the time of his life with the love of his life, Tiffany Purvis. When his father passed away from cancer just over 12 months ago, Axl pledged to complete his studies. Life hadn’t always been easy for Axl and his family - mum Laura-Lee, and siblings Jake, Georgia, Angus and Tommie. But is passion - for what, and who he loved - and his pure zest for life drove him. Axl started his football career at North Dandenong, before moving on to the Dandenong Saints where he spent most of his footy journey. He came across to the Doveton Eagles in early 2014 after the Saints folded, and he stayed with the Eagles even after moving down to Phillip Island. Each weekend he would

Axl Abson touched the lives of everyone he met. 140564 wake up at 5am just to get a bus all the way back into the southeastern suburbs just so he could continue donning the Eagles jumper. “Axl was a born leader,” said the 31-year-old Dave, who still plays in the thirds for the Eagles. Axl adored the 17-year-old Tiffany. The two had planned a future together, and when he stayed at the Purvis family home over Christmas he was treated as one of their own. On Sunday, the Eagles’ clash with Officer was moved from Officer’s home ground to Doveton, where they held a minute’s silence before the game.

“It was just an amazing thing to be a part of,” said South East Juniors general manager Shaun Connell. “Officer presented flowers in honour of Axl and they even named him as their best player in the match report.” A trust has been set up in Axl’s honour to help his family cover his funeral expenses, while a range of businesses, community groups and identities have pledged their support. Anyone who wishes to donate can visit www.mycause.com. au/page/105014. So far, more than $8000 has been raised since last Friday.

SPORT TAC CUP - Round 11

Stingrays… on the bottom! By JARROD POTTER WAYWARD kicking didn’t help the Dandenong cause as the Stingrays conceded the points to ladder leading North Ballarat Rebels. Led out by stand-in skipper Lachie Batten - with captain Lachlan Williams sidelined following appendix surgery - the Stingrays weren’t able to stop the Rebels’ charging away with the 23-point win. Dandenong coach Craig Black’s men didn’t have the answers in front of goals and despite having more scoring shots, the majority flew through the wrong side of the posts. In an even match-up against two high-quality sides that proved to be the difference. Dandenong held a slender lead at quarter time but fell away as the Rebels’ midfield engine started cranking out forward-50s and clearances. The best efforts of utility ruckman Harry Prior and midfielders Mitch Cox and Brad Kiely were not enough for the undermanned Stingrays to wrench control of the match back through the centre. Starring on their returns from Vic Country, Brandon White, Myles Poholke (2 goals) and Cox (2 goals) flew the flag for the Rays in the

23-point defeat. “I just thought we allowed them to have too many entries,” Black said. “I think we were lucky that they didn’t capitalise more on their forward-50 entries. “For us it happens when you kick too many points - I think we had more scoring shots than them, but if you don’t kick straight it will come back and bite you on the bottom.” Black believes North Ballarat is one of the big threats in the competition this season after seeing them up close, even with both sides featuring a number of outs to school and state duties. “We haven’t played Murray yet - they are going really well - but North Ballarat has only had one loss so I guess they have some quality players missing from their program as well,” Black said. “So I think they are (a benchmark side), but we were right in it - had a shot on goals with probably two minutes to go to bring it back within four points and we missed and they went straight up and kicked a goal.” The Rays drop to third on the TAC Cup ladder with the loss against the high-flying Rebels. Dandenong travel to face the Calder Cannons on Saturday from 11.30am.

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Round 10

The Burra is back

Bulls travelling well By JARROD POTTER PUTTING a fortnight’s worth of bad form behind them, Noble Park cast aside its demons in a 34-point triumph over Vermont. After losing to Balwyn and almost suffering a shock-upset against low-lying Lilydale, Noble Park ensured this week would start with a bang. Winning the contested ball and roosting it long to the forwards, Ziggie Alwan took the nonmark of the year in the first term - ruled a push in the back to the outcry of Noble Park fans across the ground. From there Vergim Faik (2 goals) booted the Bulls well clear as the visitors creating a happy hunting ground in the Vermont hills. Up front, down back or anywhere in between, the Bulls had the wood over the Eagles and ensured a 35-point half-time advantage would not be squandered. While Vermont never went away, the Eagles struggled to match pace with the fleet-footed Bulls when it counted most. The icing on the cake was pipped out from a usual forward duo - Kyle Martin (4 goals) and Shayne Allan (2 goals) - but the biggest celebration was saved for the biggest Bull of all. Glen Manson sunk his slipper into a monster barrel, flying through the uprights for a rare goal for the Noble Park ruckman, to give his side the unbeatable advantage late in the clash.

The Bearded Wonder was engulfed by team mates as he did a lap of honour, pumping his fists and revving up the crowd. Newly anointed defender Brett Dore shone at full-back - as he returns to full form following an ankle injury - while Shane Valenti, Dan Keely and Stewart Kemperman all featured prominently in the Bulls most satisfying 2015 win yet. “The pressure around the contest was outstanding today (Saturday) and we didn’t fall away,” Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty said. “Last couple of weeks we probably haven’t been great in that area, Balwyn exposed us at Noble Park and last week - full credit to Lilydale - was a struggle. “It was a real focus… we had a few question marks over our ability to compete against the top sides and today showed we certainly can.” Sitting 8-2 just after the half-way stage of the season is a dream start for the Bulls and Fogarty is pleased with his side’s standing after 10 rounds. “If you told me we’d be 8-2 at the start of the year, I’d take that every day of the week absolutely,” Fogarty said. “And to knock off a quality side like Vermont who are travelling really well this year, it’s a really good start.” The win pushed Noble Park back up to second on the EFL Division-1 ladder. The Bulls will now host East Ringwood on Saturday.

By JARROD POTTER SFL DIVISION 2 - Round 10 BACK on top with a bang, Keysborough decimated Doveton Eagles to the tune of 93 points. In the end wayward kicking amounted for more Burra headaches than the visitors as Ryan Goodes’ men sprayed 18.21 (129) to 5.6 (36). Seven-goals-eight in the final term is no fitting score line, but it would be more than enough to eclipse the visitors with Tyson King (9 goals) starring back up forward. The midfield brigade Daniel Morlan, Geoff Humphreys and Richard Minney all impressed. Keysborough is away at Murrumbeena this round while Doveton Eagles host Caulfield. Springvale Districts made it a Dandy day across the shire knocking over Highett by 24 points. Lachlan Morrey (6 goals) was best afield alongside Stephen Bagley, Ben Stacey and Daniel Wilson. The Demons now have a tough outing against premiership contender Oakleigh District.

ENDEAVOUR Hills created the upset of the season so far, knocking over Mount Waverley by 28 points. Last year’s grand finalists were no match for the might of the Falcons with Mitch Whatman (3 goals) helping push out the margin through the second term. The hardrun from Ben Graham, Neil Peake and Matt Peake helped seal the deal and push the Falcons to seventh before its home clash against Dandenong. Sandown beat out Hallam by 20 points while both Lyndale and Dandenong were thumped to the tune of approximately 100 points.

VAFA DIVISION 2 - ROUND 10 EARNING a streak of a different, more unwanted kind, St John’s has gone from unbeaten to two losses in a row following a 33-point defeat via Northern Blues. In a goal-fest both sides booted massive tallies, but in the end the efforts from Aaron Thornton (5 goals), Glenn Costas (4 goals) and Dylan Webb weren’t enough to knock over the Blues. St John’s sits second in Division 2 and faces Melbourne High School Old Boys at home.

VAFA DIVISION 4 Masala was gallant against Chadstone, but couldn’t catch up the 27-point margin. Matt Jacobs (3 goals) and Dean Maher impressed for the Tigers. Masala next host Mt Lilydale.

From highs to lows By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG Stingrays’ captain Lachlan Williams went from singing the club song to being admitted to hospital in only two days. Last week was a bittersweet week for Williams, 18, from Somerville, who led his side to victory on Saturday before being rushed to the emergency room on Monday morning. He was stellar in Dandenong’s 21-point win over the Gippsland Power - as he booted two goals and picked up 21 possessions - but once the adrenaline of the big win had subsided, Williams started to deteriorate quickly. The livewire forward was unable to move on Saturday evening and throughout Sunday and by Monday morning a night of restless sleep left him no option but to go to hospital, where blood tests discovered he had appendicitis. Thankfully his appendix hadn’t ruptured, but it was time for Williams to go under the knife and have the emergency appendectomy at Peninsula Private Hospital. “Yesterday (Monday 15 June) morning I had trouble sleeping so I went to the hospital around 3am and got a blood test and they found out I had appendicitis,” Williams said. “It was getting to the point where all of my blood tests were really high and basically had to have my appendix removed as soon as possible.” Thankfully he didn’t receive any knocks to the stomach in the TAC Cup match on Saturday - after feeling ill on Friday. “At first I was actually a bit sick on Friday - had a meal and felt bloated then the next day I felt a bit sick in the stomach, but I felt alright playing footy,”

Saturday celebrations soon turned to concern for Dandenong Stingrays’ captain Lachlan Williams’ health, after he was hospitalised last Monday Picture: JARROD POTTER morning. 140440 Williams said. “Then the next day I started really hitting it hard. “I was really sick after the game and feeling really tired, was vomiting on Saturday and all Sunday I was physically dead. “I couldn’t really do much, every time I moved it hurt.” He’s recovering at the moment in hospital following the surgery and while it’s not a typical injury that keeps a player out of action, Williams thinks he should be able to return to TAC Cup

By JARROD POTTER IN A straight swap - green-andgold for green-and-gold - a quartet of Dandenong Rangers will don the Australian colours in this year’s World University Games. The final group of 12 Uniroos’ players includes four members of the Dandenong Rangers 2015/16 WNBL roster, with Endeavour Hills-based point guard Aimie Clydesdale (Monash University) selected for the squad alongside her much taller team-mates Sara Blicavs (APM College), Alex Bunton (Canberra Institute of Technology) and Lauren Scherf (Victoria University) to head to Korea. Dandenong Rangers WNBL coach Larissa Anderson said it was a great opportunity for the players to get additional international experience. “I’m really proud of all four, it’s a fantastic opportunity,” Anderson said. “I think it puts us in good stead and gives us some great international experience… we’ve got some great youth coming through.” Blicavs recently toured Europe as part of the Jayco Australian Opals with coach Brendan Joyce. Former Rangers Alice Kunek and Narre Warren’s Carley Mijovic round out the local additions to the Australian side. The 2015 World University Games will run 3-14 July in South Korea and information about the event can be found at www.gwangju2015.com

Aimie Clydesdale will swap her Dandenong uniform for a different green and gold - the Australian University Games. 129256

SEABL - Round 11 GOING one-and-one from its long weekend double-header, Dandenong Rangers’ SEABL men were unable to knock off Sandringham on Thursday before backing up to defeat Brisbane on the road. It came down to the wire on Thursday night as a bad in-bound left Dandenong in arrears after a gallant 28-point last term. Proceedings went more smoothly on Saturday night as the Rangers held on to knock over the Spartans and stay fourth in the conference. Rangers’ women did it easily in the end as their road trip ended in a 74-61 win over Brisbane.

football within a month. “Could be maybe two to three weeks, just need to see how I’ll pull up - definitely missing this week that’s for sure, but don’t really know the exact amount,” Williams said. “I’m still in hospital, but I’ll meet the surgeon again and will see how I go and talk to the doctors and physios at Stingrays.” It’s the first major obstacle in an otherwise strong top-age season for Williams, who was named club captain and had finally adjusted to the added responsibility that comes with the title.

A ‘colour-fast’ selection

SECRET Spell continued her recent hot run of form on Thursday evening when she took out the TAB Rewards free-for-all. Renowned for her early speed, Secret Spell sprung out of box four to lead around the first bend and then extended her margin down the back straight. The fast finishing Caustic Bale threatened danger in the closing stages, however he was no match for Secret Spell as she went on to win by a length in a fast time of 29.29. Trainer Kelly Bravo was pleased with the run though not surprised by the impressive time set. “Once she finds the front she’s pretty hard to catch - I knew she was capable of running good time

as she’s ran 29.26 at the track before,” said Bravo. “I didn’t think there was as much pace from greyhounds on her inside as there was last week - she’s racing full of confidence at the moment.” The win was Secret Spell’s 15th from just 26 career starts, escalating her prize money total to $122,405. “We tried her over 600m in hope she would gain some confidence - the way she’s racing at the moment I don’t think it matters what box she draws.” Her run of good form couldn’t have come at a better time, with heats of the age restricted Group 1 Maturity Classic just three weeks away. “Luckily she just scrapes in for

Secret Spell cast its magic over the field on Thursday evening. 140730 Picture: SUPPLIED the Maturity by a week - we’re going to keep her nice and fresh until then.” Secret Spell is no stranger to

Group class racing, having won the Group 3 Puppy Classic at Cranbourne and was a finalist in the Group 2 Ballarat Cup.
