Crying for jobs

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

Last year News photographer ROB CAREW took this photo of author Dennis Glover, standing near what used to be the thriving industrial underbelly of Doveton. 123756 visit to his old suburb during which the Labor speechwriter was reminded of how different Doveton appeared compared to the thriving manufacturing hub his Irish father, Rodney, had been a devoted contributor to throughout the 1970s and early ’80s.

Speaking to Star News last year while writing the book, Mr Glover said the fall of Doveton’s manufacturing sector began in the mid-1980s, the be-

When the economy changed, Mr Glover said, governments didn’t put enough effort into replacing jobs.

“In a sense there’s an obsession with efficiency and productivity and not with people,” he said.

“It’s okay to say we need to cut taxes and lower wages to make the economy more productive but that doesn’t improve the lives of people.”

ginning of a domino effect which saw the suburb’s schools and other industries also hit hard.

“From the late 1970s manufacturing industries across the nation went into a bit of a decline, working class standards started to fall and big companies started laying people off,” he said.

“By the mid-1980s, Doveton was a deprived area and it’s gotten worse since.”

“I will accept there’s a problem but we have to come up with a solution.

“It’s a bit of unfair publicity for the Doveton people, they don’t deserve it it’s not their fault.”

Mr Glover has previously compared current-day Doveton to Detroit in the USA, where a mass shutdown of autoplants saw 90 per cent of manufacturing jobs in the American city dry up.

Mr Glover wrote his book after a

1188008-KK24-15

TWO Casey councillors have called for an “urgent meeting” with Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams and council officers as the conjecture about Doveton’s decline reaches fever pitch.

River Gum Ward councillors Wayne Smith and Damien Rosario called for the meeting at council on Tuesday night following last month’s release of the book 'An Economy Is Not A Society'.

Author Dennis Glover, who grew up in Doveton, covers the “social destruction” of the suburb, which he claims is the result of factory closures in the once prosperous manufacturing centre.

It comes as Doveton was also last month listed as one of the state’s seven most disadvantaged postcodes in the Dropping off the Edge 2015 report, compiled by Jesuit Social Services and Catholic Social Services Australia.

Doveton was ranked in band one the most disadvantaged.

Doveton’s unemployment rate currently sits at 21 per cent, more than three times the national average.

At their height Doveton’s three big factories - General Motors Holden, International Harvester and Heinz collectively employed almost 7500 people.

Mr Glover said only 500 of those jobs remained.

Cr Smith acknowledged there were “some issues” and agreed the decline of the suburb’s factories had to be “contributor”.

At the soon to be held meeting with Ms Williams, Cr Smith said the injection of additional state funding - similar to the community renewal funding Doveton received in years gone by would likely be on the agenda. ”We need to get council and the State Government together to see how we’re going to deal with this,” he said.

Attack charge bail fail

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

for speaking to police, believing it to be a family issue.

Informant Constable Martin Johnson of Endeavour Hills police said Krinsapillai’s only alternative residence was his brother’s house which was within walking distance of the family home.

If his bail application had been successful, Krinsapillai would be taken away to a detention centre and have his visa cancelled by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, defence lawyer Siva Kandasarmy told the court.

“It’s not a situation I’ve come across before,” Mr Kandasarmy said.

“I’m making a bail application but not for (my client) to be released in the community.”

Krinsapillai, after consulting with his lawyer, then represented

himself with the application with the help of a Tamil interpreter.

He denied making threats with a knife and trying to put a cable around his wife’s neck, but admitted hitting her.

“I will not commit this offence again. I want to meet with my children.”

Magistrate Julie O’Donnell in refusing bail said Krinsapillai, who has no prior convictions, failed to show cause for his release and was an unacceptable risk to his family “The nature of the offending is very serious and there are a number of high-risk factors in relation to family violence,” she said.

Under an intervention order, Krinsapillai is banned from all contact with his family.

Krinsapillai was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 19 August.

Luckily no-one was seriously hurt when a car ploughed through a Doveton fruit shop this morning. 142755 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Sudden stop inside fruit shop A CAR ploughed into a Doveton fruit shop and into the aisle last Thursday, but no-one was hit in the crash.

Ambulance crews were called to the incident at Autumn Place, about 10.25am on Thursday 6 August, after a female driver allegedly lost control of the car and smashed into the fruit shop.

A police spokesperson said the driver sustained minor injuries but she has not been taken to hospital.

1175997-RC11-15

YOGESWARANS Krinsapillai, charged with making threats to kill and assault, unsuccessfully applied for bail at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

According to a police summary tendered in court, Krinsapillai allegedly woke up his wife in bed and held a knife to her throat about 2am on 23 July.

He allegedly said to her that if she didn’t kill herself he was going to kill her.

“As the accused was so drunk, he fell asleep and the victim went into the lounge room and cried,” the police summary stated.

On 26 July, a drunk Krinsapillai allegedly tried to put a powerboard cable around his wife’s neck as he refused to allow her to go to church.

After she pushed him away, he

allegedly threatened to kill her as he held a butter knife towards her, hurt her neck by pulling her hair and punched her several times in the arm where she had had an injection.

The applicant was found in a “highly intoxicated” state by police with his wife and children at home that morning.

The children were allegedly in the house at the time of both incidents.

The wife of 10 years allegedly told police she had been abused on a daily basis and believed the applicant was capable of killing her when he was drunk.

She said that he got physically and verbally violent with her whenever he drank, including punching, kicking and trying to strangle her.

According to a police summary, Krinsapillai was angry with his wife

Locking up your keys

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A CASEY family can no longer sleep at night after thieves entered their Berwick home in the dead of night, took keys from inside and stole their car, in a brazen home invasion.

It is one of a spate of home burglaries in Casey in which thieves have broken into houses, often through unlocked doors, stolen keys and used them to make off with the occupant’s car.

In the last month, residents across Berwick and Cranbourne have fallen victim to the carjacking bandits, who invade homes while families are asleep.

David Linton, of Berwick, bought his 18-year-old daughter a Holden Commodore for doing well at school, but less than a month before sitting for her licence, thieves broke into his Findon Way house through the unlocked front door and stole Emma’s car.

“I was pretty shocked they would have the courage to do that, people don’t take kindly with strangers in their house,” Mr Linton said.

“We’re struggling to sleep at night now, everyone’s on high alert. We’ve had to change all the locks, the garage remote ... they took all the keys, it’s so costly.”

Mr Linton said the door had been open for Emma who had gone to the movies that night on 13 July, but the thieves arrived instead, about 1am.

The car was found dumped and un-driveable in Dandenong two days later, its radiator ruined.

All up, the cost of fixing the car and replacing the stolen keys

The Lintons - father David, daughter Emma and son Brodie, are just one of the Casey families who have fallen victim to carPicture: STEWART CHAMBERS jacking thieves in the last month. 142684 and garage remote cost the Lintons somewhere between $2500 to $3000.

Emma said she had been “devastated” by the ordeal.

“I was in tears, that car is my pride and joy and it broke my heart,” she said.

“I love my car to bits, and it was taken from me and I don’t even know who took it. I don’t know these people ... ” “How could they do that to another person.”

The Linton family’s ordeal is only the tip of the iceberg for recent Casey home carjackings.

On 29 July, thieves broke into a Cranbourne North home in Paratea Lane in the middle of the day and took car keys which they used to steal a Kia Sportage.

The car was found burnt-out in parkland in Narre Warren two days later.

Police suspect stolen plates were attached to the car when they found it set ablaze off

Robinsons Road. Overnight on 31 July, a 2015 Range Rover Evoque and a 2008 Holden Astra were stolen from a Furness Court property in Berwick, after thieves also broke in and stole the keys.

Meanwhile, a Kia sedan was stolen from a Berwick house in Newbury Drive just after 1am on 3 August by thieves who were disturbed by the occupant and still managed to take the car.

Detective Senior Sergeant

John Bergin urged residents to ensure their house and car doors were locked, warning that keys and cars were being stolen from Casey homes at an alarming rate.

“People have to be aware that there are people, irrespective that it’s winter and cold, looking to steal what they can,” he said.

“Do not leave keys visible on kitchen benches and be aware of secondary keys and make appropriate arrangements - because they will be back.”

BRIEFLY Burglars feast A GROUP of high-end car thieves had eyes bigger than their stomachs on Monday 3 August when they got caught at a Narre Warren McDonald’s after stopping to have a bite to eat.

Police were called to the fast food store on the Princes Highway just before 7am when suspicions were aroused after an allegedly stolen Porsche Cayenne, BMW and VW Passat stationwagon were spotted next to each other in the car park.

Five teenagers tried to flee McDonald’s when police arrived but were soon arrested.

It’s believed the VW was stolen from a Mount Eliza property earlier that morning, while the Porsche was allegedly stolen from Camberwell on 29 July, and the BMW allegedly taken on 1 August from Brighton East.

In custody A 45-YEAR-OLD man was arrested last month after 20 alleged commercial and home burglaries throughout Casey.

The burglaries were carried out across Hallam, Dandenong, Hampton Park, and Berwick.

The man has been remanded in custody.

Council pulls video nasty

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council has pulled a video depicting human executions from its civic square big-screen.

A visitor to the square noted a short scene of still-images within the 4 minute 31 second video that featured an etching of a human head held up in the air to a watching crowd at a guillotining, and a photograph from behind of a group of people being hanged.

The video titled ‘Are you Romantic or Classical?’ was shown about 10.40am on 29 July at the council’s Harmony Square big-screen. The screen faces the

entrance to Dandenong Library, which hosts families and preschool children during the day.

“It was wildly inappropriate,” the visitor said.

“Not what Harmony Square is all about.

“I was shocked to see it as children often sit with families to watch the screen.”

The council pulled the video from screening on Tuesday afternoon. It estimates the film had played up to twice a week since mid May as part of a random pool of 30 School of Life videos.

Corporate Services director Mick Jaensch said no complaints

had been lodged to the council about the scene, which lasts several seconds.

He said it was an “educational piece” made by The School of Life.

“They are historical images to illustrate the difference between two predominate (sic) schools of thought of the last few centuries.”

Mr Jaensch said the council checked all content prior to showing it on the big screen.

“After an internal review we can understand that the content in question could cause discomfort with some members of the community, and as such have removed

it from the screen program.” Mr Jaensch said the council had an understanding, not a commercial agreement, with The School of Life to screen educational content.

A council spokeswoman said the video was part of a School of Life “package” screening daily between 10.30 and 11.30am.

“During this time, approximately six pieces out of a pool of 30 are chosen at random.

“Not all content published by the School of Life is appropriate for public display, so each potential piece is carefully critiqued before screened.”

The School of Life, on its

website, describes itself as being devoted to developing emotional intelligence.

Its Australian director Kaj Lofgren said it was “not aware of - nor have we had any involvement in - the recent screening of our video Are You Romantic or Classical in Dandenong.”

He said the school produced a large range of films that explored the issues and pre-occupations of modern life.

“They vary from the very playful to the very serious and are available to worldwide audiences through The School of Life’s YouTube channel.”

Cop’s wisdom for parents

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A SENIOR police officer from Endeavour Hills has urged parents not to tell their kids police will “lock them up” in jail, after several visits to local kindergartens in recent weeks.

In the last few months local police have visited a number of kinders and pre-schools to speak to children about what police do and how they can stay safe.

But Senior Sergeant Alan Dew said it was disappointing that on each occasion when the kids were asked “What do police do?”, a number responded “They put us in jail if we are bad.”

Sen Sgt Dew said the children were asked who told them this, and they said their parents.

“Basically I think that scares the kids in relation to how they view police,” the policing veteran said.

“We want kids not to be scared of us; we want kids who are scared to come to us for help.”

Sen Sgt Dew said many families in Casey came from other countries where policing styles may not be as “democratic” as those in Victoria.

“I’ve always been big on community engagement, trying to engage particularly with young people,” he said. “...We want to be seen as part of the community.

“We were a lot more detached from the community when I first joined, now we police with the community and for the community.”

Car-jack bid A MAN narrowly avoided being car-jacked in Doveton last month after being followed in an allegedly stolen car.

The victim was driving along Acacia Street just after 7am on Wednesday 29 July, when he realised he was being followed by three men in a white Mercedes-Benz wagon.

The victim pulled into a driveway to try and deter the men but they continued to tail him.

The three men, described as Sudanese in appearance, got out of the car and demanded the victim’s keys.

When the victim refused, a small altercation ensued before the offenders jumped back into the Mercedes and drove off.

Police believe the Mercedes-Benz may have been stolen earlier that morning, from Mulgrave.

YOUR VOICE FOR 150 YEARS

Looking through the pages of our history Narelle Coulter IT IS hard to imagine what Harvey Roulston would make of the Dandenong Journal 150 years after the first copy slid off his printing press in 1865.

The full-colour publication, with its digital photographs, modern Futura masthead and Facebook feedback would certainly have been unimaginable to a newspaper man in the 19th century.

Not to mention the Journal’s online incarnation as an e-newspaper, with its own website.

Hopefully, what would be familiar to Harvey Roulston is the Journal’s ongoing dedication to balanced, fair reporting and to the community it serves.

By 1865 barely 30 years had passed since the area’s first white settler Joseph Hawdon had arrived in 1834.

Industry and enterprise were just taking root and 1865 saw a tannery built on Kidd’s Road and a whip making business open its doors.

That year the municipal leaders borrowed £3000 to build a stone bridge across Dandenong Creek.

In 1861 there were 40 houses in the township and the population was 193.

The year 1865 was also significant nationally because it was when Melbourne overtook Sydney as the country’s most populous city, brought on by the rush for Victorian gold, and America was embroiled in the civil war.

Amid all this, Irish immigrant Harvey Roulston decided to found a new newspaper, which he called The South Bourke and Mornington Journal.

Roulston had learned the newspaper game as an apprentice compositor on the Londonderry Sentinel.

After arriving in Melbourne in 1853 he found work at the Melbourne Argus.

Twelve years later Roulston was his own boss when in August 1865 the

The earliest known picture of the Journal office in Walker Street, Dandenong.

first edition of the Journal rolled off his press in Richmond.

The newspaper’s link with the Roulston family would last more than 70 years.

By 1875, Roulston was feeling threatened enough by the Sword brothers who had launched a rival newspaper, the Dandenong Advertiser, the year before, that he moved the Journal to a building in Walker Street, Dandenong.

At that time the Journal covered an enormous geographical area presenting readers with news from Hawthorn, Boroondara, Templestowe, Nunawading, Berwick, Brandy Creek, Oakleigh, Moorabbin, Cheltenham and Frankston.

Tragically, early copies of the Journal were destroyed by a devastating fire in the paper’s printing works in 1876 and the oldest existing edition is from 10 January 1877.

As was the custom in those days, the front page of that edition was devoted entirely to advertisements for, among other things, Dunbar’s Hotel in Dandenong, the Dandenong branch of the Commercial Bank of Australia and

A. Griffith Shoe and General Blacksmith.

Inside the newspaper carried advertisements for ‘Clarke’s world famed blood mixture’ which promised to cure a litany of ailments such as ‘ulcerated sores on the neck, blackheads or pimples on the face, scurvy sores and cancerous ulcers’ and Baker’s perplexing sounding ‘Anthelmintic nuts, or children’s worm cakes’.

Harvey Roulston had six children, all of whom were involved with the Journal at various times.

In 1892 he transferred ownership to his two spinster daughters, Lilias and Florence, with his youngest child, William Fenton Roulston, as printer and publisher.

On 14 February 1896 Harvey Roulston died suddenly at his home in Pultney Street of “exhaustion following upon anasarca”.

He was 68.

His obituary in the Journal noted that “His last illness was a somewhat brief one, heart trouble tending to accelerate his end, which was of peaceful character”.

“For a period of 30 years the de-

80 YEARS YOUNG!

ceased was closely identified with the affairs of this and the surrounding districts, but during the last few years of his life, did not take an active part in business matters.”

Harvey Roulston’s remains were interred in Dandenong cemetery.

By 1900 the Journal had moved to “more commodious premises in Scott Street” and by then the Journal was printed on Dawon Wharfedale press.

In 1910 the paper had expanded to six pages and proudly called itself the “best and largest penny paper in the district”.

The newspaper continued to evolve and between March 1926 and August 1927 changed its masthead and became known as the Dandenong Journal.

When Harvey’s son Bill Roulston died in 1938 the Roulston family’s connection with the paper ended and ownership passed to William Bennett.

Today Harvey Roulston’s grave lies neglected and largely forgotten in the Dandenong cemetery.

We can be thankful that the newspaper he founded lives on, still as much a voice of the community as it was in 1865.

Join us on a trip down memory lane THIS week the Dandenong Journal celebrates its 150th anniversary.

The Journal is the sister paper of the Journal News and historically covered the suburbs of Doveton, Hallam, Endeavour Hills and Eumemmering.

Last October Star News Group launched the Journal News to give readers a newspaper dedicated specifically to these suburbs, while also covering the best of Casey and Greater Dandenong.

We thought Journal News readers would enjoy a trip down memory lane as the Journal marks a very special milestone.

The paper was launched in 1865 as the South Bourke and Mornington Journal and has been continuously published ever since, making it one of the oldest newspapers in Victoria.

This special sesquicentenary celebration doesn’t finish with this paper.

There is also a window display to enjoy at the new Dandenong Library and a short film which features Dandenong identities sharing their thoughts and memories of the Journal.

The film will be shown throughout August on the big screen in Harmony Square and can be viewed on the Journal website.

YOUR VOICE FOR 150 YEARS

Reporter’s heart and soul

By NARELLE COULTER VETERAN reporter Marg Stork dearly wanted to help celebrate the Journal’s 150th anniversary.

Sadly, she fell just short, passing last June aged 92.

Marg was diminutive in stature but she was lion-hearted when it came to her beloved Dandenong Journal.

Marg, as she was affectionately known, was the heart and soul of the Journal for more than 70 years.

She joined the newspaper in 1938 when she was just 15 and still a student at Dandenong High School, and never left. She was still filing her popular A Moment with Marg column just weeks before her death in June last year.

Marg’s career spanned a world war, the Cold War, council amalgamations and huge social and technological change.

But through it all, Marg’s philosophy never changed: everyone had a story to tell and every story was important, no matter how big or small.

She was fond of saying that her professional longevity was due to her love of people.

“People tell me things,” she said in an interview with her long-time editor John Woods in 2012.

“Like the taxi driver on the way here today told me about how he came from India, all about his children, his family.”

Marg resisted the technological revolution, shunning computers in favour of her trusty Olympia typewriter.

When computers first appeared in the Journal office, Marg tried working on one for a while, before reverting to her beloved typewriter.

It was the job of a junior report-

“

People tell me things…

er to take Marg’s typed stories and transfer them into the paper’s computer system.

No-one seemed to mind. Marg was a beloved figure, revered for her kindness, both in the office and in the wider community.

In the early days, surrounded by men, Marg instituted a swear jar.

The proceeds were donated to local charity Wallara. Marg was never caught swearing but “used to put money in because it was such a good cause”.

Her work ethic was legendary.

Former colleague Phil McLeod remembers being daunted by Marg’s prodigiously long story lists when he first arrived at the Journal.

“At my first editorial meeting in

MARG STORK

(editor) John Wood’s office I was feeling pretty good about having four or five strong news stories,” Phil recalled.

“Marg kicked off the meeting and proceeded to give details on about 20 stories from news, obituaries, to wedding anniversaries, sport, and human interest.

“Feeling a little embarrassed and somewhat inadequate, I did some creative accounting on my story count at the next meeting to at least match, or get anywhere near Marg’s tally.

“Things were looking promising when Marg admitted to having a pretty quiet week, but still had about 10 more yarns than the rest of us.

“I was caught out later when Woodsy asked me what my fictitious

stories were about. “In the end I realised I couldn’t possibly produce the amount of stories Marg did and that it was just a fact of Journal editorial life.”

Marg’s last visit to the Journal office, which by this time was located in Pakenham, occurred just months before she died.

Over morning tea, she spoke to young journalists just starting their careers with Star News Group, parent company of the Journal.

She spoke about the days when the Journal was written and printed on-site in Scott Street and when people would line up outside clutching threepence waiting for the newspaper to hit the street.

Marg spoke of working until 2am to ensure the paper was “put to bed” and of collecting news on her bicycle, never missing a visit to Dandenong’s fire brigade, stopping for a chat with the police, and calling in on the school principals and church leaders.

She typed up countless wedding reports, announced the birth of hundreds of babies and farewelled prominent citizens with heart-felt obituaries.

Every story was important to Marg. When he was a news editor deciding what would and wouldn’t make that week’s paper, Phil McLeod remembers Marg pulling up a seat beside him to ask when a particular story of hers would be running.

“She said she had promised that it would get a run, and that after a few weeks when it hadn’t, she felt she had broken her promise,” Phil said.

“She prided herself on her honesty and integrity with the people she dealt with.”

Continuing an important job IT IS with great pleasure that I congratulate the Dandenong Journal on its 150th anniversary.

This historical milestone is a proud a c h i ev e m e n t and a testament to the dedication and hard work of the Dandenong Journal staff dating back to your paper’s first edition in 1865.

Readers from the City of Greater Dandenong, and further afield when the Dandenong Journal covered Mulgrave, Dingley and surrounds, continue to read your paper for its outstanding news service.

Local content and in-depth reporting underpin why newspapers remain important. Journalists represent the community’s right to free speech, acting as the watchdogs, informers and voice of the voiceless.

That has not changed over 150 years.

It is perhaps even more relevant today than ever before as people’s thirst for news and information grows.

The Dandenong Journal is a great example of how newspapers have also evolved with the times to ensure readers have access to local news and information at the click of a button.

I commend your newspaper on supporting the local community and I wish the Dandenong Journal all the very best for the years ahead.

– Daniel Andrews, Premier of Victoria

MOTHER and daughter pair Barbara Haw and Julie Timms share more than just a family bond.

Barbara and Julie have both worked in newspapers for most of their lives and spent several years together as part of the classified advertising team at the Dandenong Journal.

These were years, during the golden age of the ’70s, that both women are quick to say were some of the best of their lives.

“We only had television and radio to compete with so papers were huge and the advertising was huge and it was just really exciting,” Julie said.

“I mean, it still is, it’s just different now, back then walking through classifieds you wouldn’t be able to stop and talk to anybody, the phones were just bang, bang, bang, whereas now we’re more having to chase business, rather than being an inbound.

“It was a great time.”

Barbara’s memories of the Journal are similarly of a place that was always buzzing with activity, where cigarettes smoked in ashtrays at each person’s desk, and where a tea break was often spent discussing that day’s drama at the pub around the corner from the newspaper’s Scott Street offices.

“When I first started the advertising, manager Des Gillick, his phone would ring and I’d answer it, and I’d say ‘Des Gillick’s phone and they’d say ‘oh, it’s Mr Walders here from so and so, is Des there please?’”

Barbara said.

“Once you work somewhere where you’ve got deadlines, I don’t think... it’s just you’re always pushing, so the next deadline, once one deadline’s gone that’s not it, you’ve got another deadline coming up so you’re always looking for things.”

And while Barbara has now settled into retirement – with far less dancing on bar tops – things have come full circle for Julie.

She was working for Star News Group in Pakenham when the company bought the Journal 2013 and is back on her old patch.

“It was like coming home,” Julie said.

Julie, left, and her mum Barbara, loved their days working together Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS at the Dandenong Journal. 141798 “I’d say ‘just a moment’. I’d put the phone down, run down the passage, out into the bar and tell him he’s wanted on the phone. And Des would say ‘here, hang onto me beer.’

“People probably wouldn’t believe it, but it’s true!”

That wasn’t the only time Barbara wandered down to the bar.

Julie remembers her mother sharing a drink with an Australian singing icon and Dandenong native.

“I remember you going out drinking with bloody Johnny Farnham,” Julie said to her mum.

“You were dancing on the bar at the pub in Dandenong!”

Barbara and her late husband Geoff grew up in Dandenong before moving to the country where Geoff, Julie’s dad, worked as a farm labourer.

But the family moved back to Dandenong when Julie was about 12.

“The one reason we shifted back into Dandenong was because we couldn’t see a future for our children in what we were doing,” Barbara said.

“My husband’s mother needed a bit of help and we bought a house, it was like two units, so we could help take care of her and then the kids were able to get on with their lives.”

Julie also met her husband, Daryl, at the Journal, a veteran journalist who himself worked at the paper before moving to the Herald Sun, where he has been for the past 27 years.

“I ’spose it’s in our blood. I love the deadlines, I love... just the atmosphere, it’s just different to another job,” Julie said.

Barbara was given a special cake by her Journal colleagues to celebrate her 50th birthday in 1984.

YOUR VOICE FOR 150 YEARS

Agents at the centre of hot property AFTER 34 years in real estate in Dandenong, Neil Butler knows a hot market when he sees one.

“The market is hot (in Greater Dandenong) but it’s hot everywhere,” said the director of Stockdale and Leggo, Dandenong.

Tim Retallack at Hall and Partners First National in Dandenong agrees.

Between them the agents have nearly 70 years of experience and have seen their industry and the area change enormously.

One constant has been the long-standing relationship between their agencies and the Journal.

“Everyone waited on a Monday for their paper to be delivered and then my phone would ring off the hook,” said Neil.

Tim remembers the labour-intensive days before the internet when advertisements were prepared using scissors, glue and sticky tape.

Agents would cut out homes still for sale from the previous week’s ad and stick them to a sheet of paper with new listings.

Journal photographers would then drive around taking photos of the properties.

“They’d (advertising representatives) pick the ad up and sometimes it wouldn’t be ready. I remember a few mad mercy dashes down there (Frankston-Dandenong Road) in the car at the last moment.

“It was big procedure. One night I’d had a busy day and I didn’t start doing the ads until 10.30 that night. I was there until 2am pasting it together.”

They have seen many ups and downs in the market but agree that at the moment Dandenong is “hot”.

“The market has discovered this area and it is well undervalued compared to neighbouring suburbs,” said Neil.

“It’s kicked on for sure. There is an influx of younger buyers looking for townhouses and units.

Tim agrees that the market is “alive”. “Dandenong is attracting a large number of investors, that has been the big change.”

Home’s where heart is Narelle Coulter WHEN Daryl Rayner started selling real estate in the early 1980s, brick veneer homes in North Dandenong and Hallam sold for between $35,000 and $45,000.

In Doveton, a solid family home would set buyers back about $18,000.

How times have changed.

Residential homes in Central Dandenong have now broken the magic $1 million mark.

Keith McLennan opened the original McLennan Real Estate office at 244 Lonsdale Street in 1936.

Just after World War II his son Merv took over and helped people buy and sell property until his death in the early 1990s.

Daryl Rayner joined Merv and his daughters in the business in 1980 and has never left.

In 1988, Daryl and fellow director Tony Rachele purchased the business, keeping the McLennan name.

The Lonsdale Street office was soon complemented by a second office when the firm bought Frank Holohan Real Estate in Langhorne Street.

Today McLennan Real Estate employs 32 staff and operates from a light, modern two storey office at 118 Walker Street.

Over more than three decades Daryl has seen the industry he loves change enormously.

“Pre-internet people came to

Lonsdale Street, Dandenong, in 1956. the office, sat and waited to talk to someone. We would then go through a manual stock list, pop them in the car and show them different properties. I haven’t done that in 20 years.”

He remembers photocopying and cutting and pasting together adverts for the Journal that would be collected by a sales representative.

“Now everything is done online.

We do it all ourselves now and send it to the Journal. It’s not proof read any more because we do it all ourselves.

“The Journal is 150 years, we’re 80 next year. It’s been an 80-year relationship.”

The other great change has been in the demographics of Dandenong.

“When I was a kid and started working here it was mainly Anglo

Keith McLennan in 1936.

Saxon with Greeks and Italians thrown in after the war.

“McLennan had a lot of Greek and Italian clients, and still do.

“Now we’ve got the third generation, their grandchildren dealing with us.

“That’s the beauty of a business with this longevity, it’s the relationships you build over the years that make your business strong.”

Daryl said the latest wave of Afghan immigrant was now testing the waters of the property market.

“The Afghans are excellent tenants and they are now going on to buy property.

“They are also taking up a lot of the commercial leases opening hairdressers, restaurants and retail busi-

nesses.” The Dandenong of Daryl’s youth was very different.

“In those days it was really like a large country town. Mum would go to the shops in the main street to grab a few things and we’d be three hours because everyone knew and spoke to each other.”

The Rayners and the McLennans were friends through church.

Daryl agrees that real estate has been good to him. His wife Delwyn now runs the company’s wealth management offshoot, Yellow Brick Road.

“I’m a people person, not one to be sitting about. I like to be out talking to people about their real estate requirements, having a cup of tea.”

In prime position after farming start They are proud ment Services Offices, the under-construction Australian Tax Office’s new digs, and the civic centre-library complex, said the future was exciting for the business.

Cam Lucadou-Wells THE Facey name has been in central Dandenong for more than 100 years - and for several years was famous for its yellow real-estate advertising insert in the Journal.

Cranbourne farmer Frank Facey started the trade by buying a carriage-works business in a tin-roofed, wooden building in Pultney Street in 1913.

Mr Facey expanded into painting, trimming and clearing sales before entering into the real estate business in 1917.

The real-estate baton has since been duly passed down to his son, the late Angus Facey, then onto grandson Andrew who heads the business to this day.

In 1992, Facey’s residential real estate arm was sold to Michael Hall to trade as Hall and Partners First National in 254 Lonsdale Street.

The Facey name lives on as Facey Industrial Commercial – co-partnered by Andrew, football legend Graham ‘Josh’ Kendall and Mark Bond – in Clow Street.

Frank Barrett, an accountant with Facey for nearly 30 years, said older readers would remember the late Angus Facey and wife Adele as keen Rotary, Uniting Church and Dandenong

“For a long time, Dandenong was just about industry and the commercial heart wasn’t a great part of it.

“We’re well and truly on track to change the amenity of the area with those offices.”

Founder Frank Facey on his wedding day.

Music and Art Society members.

He said Andrew also set up a separate company, Parklea, a significant developer of housing and industrial estates in Narre Warren, Hallam, Berwick, Pakenham and Officer.

Just as Frank Facey left the family farm, so, too, is Dandenong re-branding itself beyond its agricultural roots.

Facey Industrial Commercial director Mark Bond, surveying the prominent tall buildings such as the Govern-

Infrastructure such as the EastLink tollway had helped drive development in the region and helped Dandenong re-establish its position as a government services hub.

Getting more government entities to set up in Dandenong was the next phase.

“Hopefully, the government will not be too Melbourne-centric and make Dandenong that hub it’s always been.”

Mr Bond predicted then there would be enough activity to entice more private investors to “want to be around such as significant area”.

of their patch THE Stickleys know Noble Park like the proverbial back of their hand.

The name has been synonymous with the region since the 1970s when Peter Stickley opened his eponymous real estate agency in Dandenong.

Today son Tim Stickley is carrying on the family tradition as the director of Barry Plant Noble Park.

Stickley Real Estate opened in Noble Park in 1996 on the corner of Chandler and Heatherton Roads in a building once occupied by the locally famous Variety Corner milk bar.

The Stickleys joined the Barry Plant group in 2000.

Tim remembers the 1990s when Noble Park was full of “beautifully maintained homes on good sized blocks”.

“They were really proudly maintained by typical Aussies with big backyards.”

In the 25 years since many of those family homes have been sold and developed.

Tim describes Noble Park as an aging suburb.

“At lot of people who are selling now have lived here for 40 to 60 years. Families have grown up and the grandparents have stayed.

“This has been a multi-cultural area, with waves of migration bringing different groups who have rented then purchased and owned.”

Tim said Noble Park was increasing in price and popularity.

“It is now becoming a sought-after suburb because of its proximity to services and the value on offer.

“We are seeing a lot of people move back to Noble Park. There is quality housing here and a lot of investment in the area.”

YOUR VOICE FOR 150 YEARS

Stan was music man in tune with the times Casey Neill DANDENONG legend Stan Prior was born 125 years ago – just 25 years after the Journal.

He was a compositor at the Journal for 15 years from 1945 and appeared in its pages on dozens of occasions during his years with the City of Greater Dandenong Band.

“The Journal is a wonderful newspaper... factual, truthful and helping all sections of the community,” Stan had said.

“Even allowing for obvious changes in presentation over the years, it has always been a bright, newsy, community newspaper and the community has always been to the forefront of its reporting.”

After leaving the Journal in 1961, with his wife Mavis he ran printing company Prior Print from their Foster Street home.

He retired in 1981 at age 91, but appeared in the 1988 Guinness World Records book as the Most Durable Bandsman for still playing with City of Dandenong Band on his 96th birthday.

Stan’s father was a bandsman for 40 years and Stan

started his musical career at age 14, singing in a church choir and playing the tenor horn.

He started his band life with the South Melbourne Band in 1904, was made a City of Greater Dandenong Band life member in 1975 and in 1978 received a Badge of Merit from the Victorian Bands League.

Stan was a Digger in both world wars, started an apprenticeship in the Government Printing Office in Hobart in 1909, farmed at Nar Nar Goon North and Tynong North, and played cricket from age 15 through to 70. In 1988 the council named the Dandenong Park sound shell in his honour.

“I am grateful every day of my life to be associated with people like you and I am overcome.

“But I hope I can enjoy a few more years with you all,” he said at a 100th birthday bash in his honour at Dandenong Town Hall.

He died aged 102.

NEW HOMES & LAND

BOOTS OFF, FEET UP AND RELAX Would-be owners will be able to picture themselves sitting back and relaxing on the impressive verandah of the Homestead 30 taking in the peace and tranquillity of the rural hamlet or acreage.

That was exactly what the designers at Red Bluff Homes envisaged when they dreamed up the magnificent Homestead.

The home’s colonial appearance is perfect for a rural or semi-rural setting.

If it’s too cold to sit on the verandah, the new owners will be able to take off their gumboots at the front door, settle into their favourite chair and soak in the views framed by the large windows which run the length of the Homestead.

And if the home is orientated north, the living spaces will be bathed in winter sunshine.

Family space is ample with a rumpus room, family room, meals and kitchen areas all positioned to the rear of the home.

Create a hearty winter meal in the spacious kitchen with ingredients easily at hand in the large walk-in pantry.

The smart kitchen is at the heart of the

Homestead surrounded by the open-plan meals and family areas.

At the end of the day, the residents will be able to retire to the peace and quiet of the wonderful parents’ retreat.

The master suite is generously proportioned with a large walk-in wardrobe and crisply appointed ensuite.

Buyers can choose to fold the separate formal dining room into the master bedroom, creating a truly impressive adult space.

Bedrooms two and three are tucked away at the opposite end of the house.

Buyers have the flexibility to configure the bathroom, toilet and storage space at the family living end of the home to suit their own needs. Four options are available.

YOUR VOICE FOR 150 YEARS

Our images through the ages

By ROB CAREW

Journal photographer Stewart Chambers took this award-winning photograph of Um Khalil in 2014.

NEWSPAPER photographs have been with us for more than 100 years.

Until then, only line block images had been used to illustrate the stories of the day.

It must have been a proud day in January 1911 when the first photo appeared in The Journal. It was of well -known identity of the day W.H.A Rodd.

Wearing robes and chains, he looks every bit like the modern day Mayor of Dandenong but he was, in fact, about to be officiated as the District Chief Ranger which was then described as a “high and honourable position” certainly worthy of the very first photograph in the Journal.

It is interesting that even then, the word ‘photo’ was already commonly used for ‘photograph’.

This tells us that by that stage photos had made their way into readers’ hearts and had become a popular part of everyday life.

In the romantic age of wooden cameras with bellows and light sensitive film, when photographers always wore hats and tripods were commonplace, a photographer was an elegantly dressed man about town who rubbed shoulders with the dignitaries and stalwarts of the day.

By 1911, the iconic Box Brownie had already been a part of life for more than a decade.

Interestingly it is now about 10

Veteran Journal photographer Rob Carew.

years since the introduction of consumer digital cameras. After an entire century the only real change has been film to digital and paper to screens.

Everything else is just detail; improvements in cameras, lenses, the printing process and viewing platforms.

The next major development in newspaper printing was to be the introduction of colour and in October 1991 – 80 years after the first photo, the first colour advertisement appeared in the Journal.

In line with progress and new processes, newspaper photographers moved from the darkroom onto the editorial floor to join journalists and the editorial team.

Computer screens replaced enlargers and the revolution of sending pictures wirelessly from the field has taken over – the age of online newspapers has arrived!

Newspaper photographers everywhere have embraced these amazing changes in particular the oppor-

tunity to communicate to the world from anywhere and in ‘real time’.

Nevertheless, those of us who were lucky enough to have worked through this time of transition will forever miss the heady days of the darkroom.

The dark room was a mystical place to work and see your pictures come to life.

It was an inner sanctum, a place to engage in lively conversations, and was generally heaps of fun... the home of the photographer, a room where

journalist, editors and subs would find any reason to visit... it was a place of escape – a place where magic happened, another world.

Thankfully one thing never changed; our readers’ interest in photos has never waned.

In fact, today’s online audiences drive the need for increased photographic content which they consume in volumes never before seen.

Because of this, as they have done for more than a century, news photographers can still head out every day with a spring in their step knowing that this is still the best job in the world!

STAND-UP comedian Col Elliott has graduated far beyond being Lyndale High School’s class clown.

Elliott, 66, sprung onto the national and, at times, international stage with irreverent song and characters in the 1970s – etching him into the public imagination with racy contemporaries Rodney Rude and Kevin ‘Bloody’ Wilson.

He grew up in Lyndale’s concrete Housing Commission estate in the 1950s a few years after his family sailed out from England.

In those streets Elliott played cricket with kids in the neighbourhood, like the Journal’s former editor and scribe Phil McLeod.

He and his mates also liked to push a stick through ‘dunny flaps’ to poke people sitting on their backyard toilets.

Elliott recalls going to Lyndale High School with another successful, perhaps straighterlaced, entertainer John Farnham.

When at school, Elliott didn’t do stand-up but was responsible for some unbridled dramas at one of the fetes.

Beforehand, principal “Mr Munroe” asked Elliott to hold pony rides.

Elliott’s choice of horse was the 14.2-hand unbroken filly Cindy that was kept in his family’s back yard.

She was normally mildmannered except for being frightened of large vehicles.

Unfortunately, just as Elliott rode Cindy to the school gates on fete day, a Grenda’s bus

Col Elliott, a Vietnam veteran, sporting his naval service medals. 142489 rounded the corner.

She bolted in terror and “wrecked the joint”, Elliott said.

The pair hared towards a group of Highland dancers who were forced to jump from the stage with kilts, swords and bagpipes flying.

Elliott managed to hang on as Cindy scattered several stalls, galloped across sports fields and jumped a barbed wire fence.

Cindy and Elliott caught breath when she stopped in a nearby cabbage paddock.

After getting shouted down by a group of teachers, Elliott asked: “Does this mean it’s not ‘on’ for the pony rides?” There was no reply.

Elliott’s brand of humour still sells out venues. Part of his enduring value is “it’s not PC (politically correct),” he said.

He tells how he considered himself too young when he became a grandfather.

“Then I found a grey pubic hair. I didn’t freak out, not like

the other people in the lift.”

There are some who say he’s not sensitive, much like other men, he said.

“I said to my wife that’s bulls***. What about your brother – he cries after sex.

Mind you, he’s still in prison.”

He said he takes aim at Scots, Irishmen, Italians, kamikaze pilots and especially Kiwis – “the difference between a Kiwi and a photo is the photo is developed,” he adds as an aside.

Giuseppe Lasagne, one of his many stage characters, is based on a mate’s father, an Italian market gardener who he remembers with affection.

“The show’s not offensive – it’s the way you tell the gag.”

His well-known show opening runs along the lines of “if you’re offended by politically incorrect material, strong language... now might be a good time for you to f*** off.”

“It gets a huge laugh,” he said.

The springboard for his comedic career was entering a Melbourne TV talent show Kevin Dennis New Faces in 1973.

As he recalls, he hoped he would win enough money to buy a set of new tyres.

His cleaned-up-for-TV routine ended up winning the final, which funded the tyres as well as a keg of beer for his friends.

One of his first ever gigs was at the former Dandenong Redlegs football club. Elliott received $10 plus all he could drink as payment. “I took my brother along. We got value.

“You can’t print what I said (at the gig). It wasn’t even considered nice then.”

Early bird got around

By CASEY NEILL DELIVERING the Journal gave at least one paperboy a strong work ethic he’s carried through life.

Sean Whitaker now calls Drouin home, but grew up in Narre Warren.

He was 12 years old when he started a morning paper round 30 years ago.

“The Dandy Journal was one of the ones we did,” he said.

“It came out twice a week back then, I think.

“I did it for nearly three years.

“I used to get paid the princely sum of $12 a week, which isn’t really a lot of money considering you had to get up at 5am and ride your bike in the freezing cold.”

Sean was finished by 7am and went off to school. The early starts didn’t bother him.

“My parents said they couldn’t believe that they’d hear the alarm go off and it would only go for one ring and I’d be up and I’d be out of bed and I’d be out the door within five minutes,” he said.

“It didn’t matter what the weather was like.

“I think I just enjoyed the routine and commitment you had to make with it, which obviously sets you up for work down the track.”

Sean would deliver about 70 papers each round.

“On the front of your bike you used to have a milk crate that you’d latch onto the handlebars of the bike and that would

“The papers probably weighed as much as I did!”

He recalled a few stacks, scrapes and bruises.

“Bikes aren’t meant to carry that weight on the front, so the common thing was the gooseneck that held the handlebars used to snap,” he said.

“So you’d be riding along and suddenly the whole thing would fall off the front – including your handlebars – midway through your round.

“We all worked out which were the best parts to have on your bike to make it the strongest.

“Most of us would have a separate bike that you would use for your paper round (rather) than your normal bike.

“You had your good bike and you had your working bike.”

There was no throwing the paper into the front yard back in those days because there was no plastic on them. You’d be rolling the paper while you were riding, because you wanted to get around as quick as you could,” Sean said.

“There was one person who used to leave me 20 cents out every day if I dropped their paper at their front door.

“I could get 10 per cent extra for my entire week just by taking one paper to that person’s front door.

Decades down the track, Sean is still making sure people get their hands on a copy of the Journal.

He owns the Genesis gym in Dandenong and has a stack of newspapers delivered each week. “Clients pick up the paper here,” he said.

Frosty delivered magic

By DAVID NAGEL DANDENONG Football Club’s home ground at Shepley Oval was a magical place to be in the late ’60s and early ’70s – and there was one good reason for that.

A man called ‘Frosty’.

The club, formed in 1874, joined the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1958 from the Federal Football League, playing at the Dandenong Showgrounds until 1961, before moving to Shepley for the 1962 season.

But it wasn’t until the kid from Garfield, Jim ‘Frosty’ Miller, arrived in 1967 that the famous navy blue and red had its halcyon days.

Seriously, Frosty was a hero in these parts – and beyond.

Many of the faces that you see in a packed grandstand at Punt Road for the 1969 VFA grand final against Preston were from our neck of the woods.

From Garfield to Keysborough, from Pakenham to Dandenong, most of them were there to cheer on one man ... Frosty, who needed just one goal to kick his first century of goals in the VFA. The Redlegs went down to the Bullants by 12 points, but Frosty kicked seven and a star, which had been glowing since his debut for the Redlegs, well, it had arrived with the impact of Halley’s Comet.

Over the next seven years, Frosty’drew people into Dandenong’s home ground like bees to a honey-pot, and he delivered, kicking 883 goals, in a 183-game career that had many highs, the occasional low, and eventually, a medal named in its honour.

Frosty played in six premierships, two with Garfield, two with Dandenong, and two with Berwick, he kicked 29 goals in 11 games for Carlton and in 1978 he slammed home a remarkable 201 goals as the Wickers made it backto-back flags.

It’s easy to get carried away in these instances, but Frosty really was a hero to football lovers in our region.

“They were great days, I liked it, but the main thing was to forget about the other stuff and just play football,” Frosty said.

“Winning premierships is what it’s all about so they were the best years but I loved all my time at Dandenong.”

Of course the Dandenong Football Club is bigger than one man, winning a premiership in 1962 to be promoted to the top-flight of the VFA for the following season.

In a 10-year period from 1967 to 1976, the Redlegs played in six grand finals for two premierships, defeating Port Melbourne (1967) and Preston (1971).

But the glory days haven’t always been forthcoming.

By 1983 the club was $100,000 in

Hard slog defines Dandy

debt – was in the wilderness – before fighting back, raising $140,000 and recruiting high-class players like Tony Elshaug, who led the Redlegs to a ninepoint grand final victory over Werribee in 1991.

But previous lessons had not been learnt and the club became insolvent

in 1993, owing more than $220,000.

A new club, the Dandenong Redlegs, was formed and played two seasons before folding as an entity in 1994. Dandenong’s footballing identity has carried on since 1995 through the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup.

Players like Jeff White (Fremantle – 1994), Travis Johnstone (Melbourne –1997), Tom Scully (Melbourne – 2009) and Lachie Whitfield (GWS – 2012), all number one draft picks in the AFL; all forged their careers from Shepley.

But a man called ‘Frosty’ – he made it a magical place to be.

HARD work – on and off the field – has always defined Dandenong.

The working week was just a necessary distraction to get through to the weekend again where everyday men and women became icons or watched their stars on the local sporting scene.

It’s one of the only suburban cities in Australia that can claim obsession-status with just about every sport.

Football, soccer, cricket, basketball and the love of watching the greyhounds and racehorses circle our adjoining racetracks dominate the landscape, but there’s always a hidden gem around the corner waiting to be unearthed.

Multiculturalism brought to the town its great passions of soccer – which has surged to such an extent that the city can claim to be one of Victoria’s most popular for the code.

Dandenong Thunder has been the most successful and South Springvale had its recent run of national FFA Cup fame, while Dandenong City and Springvale White Eagles are just as lively in the NPL1 East and our state league teams continue to knock on the door for promotion.

Football remains the town’s underlying passion as Dandenong Stingrays, Noble Park and Keysborough carry on the passion for high-calibre football that was once instilled in the city by the mighty, and sadly now defunct, Dandenong Football Club.

Whether it’s the up and downs of the WNBL season, or baking under the harsh sun watching Sub-District, Dandenong District or Men’s and Women’s Victorian Premier Cricket – summer is just as vibrant for sport in town and it’s a distinction that will never change.

But our swimmers, hockey players, runners, high jumpers, lawn bowlers and the ultimate niche classic on Pultney St – Dandenong’s patient croquet contingent – are just as integral to the town’s sporting pulse.

Therein lies the joy of covering sport in the region – there is always someone achieving something amazing and their stories pump through the veins of Dandenong.

While demographics have shifted and the town has undergone renewal, it’s safe to say sport is woven into every facet of life in the City of Greater Dandenong and for that, it’s been my great honour to play a humble part in the town’s sporting obsession.

Millane’s shocking death brought thousands out to mourn SO HUGE was the outpouring of grief at the tragic loss of Collingwood football star Darren Millane in October 1991 that it brought central Dandenong to a standstill.

A crowd estimated at between 5000 and 6000 people packed the Dandenong Town Hall and its surrounds for what is still considered one of the biggest funerals held in Victoria.

Millane, who grew up in Noble Park, died when his car collided with the back of a slow-moving truck in Queen’s Road, Melbourne.

The previous year he was a member of the much celebrated, drought-breaking 1990 Collingwood premiership side, playing out the finals series with a broken arm.

His death shocked the wider community.

Channel 9 newsreader Tony Jones, a Dandenong boy, knew him well – their mothers worked together.

“I couldn’t believe it when I first heard it,” Jones told The Journal. “I think 3KZ went with it first, and I don’t

know whether they should have or not but it was just one of those things that was just impossible to believe.

“I go to Collingwood functions now and I bump into his mum and what have you … but it was massive.

We’ve seen some really, really big funerals but that one in particular was just enormous.

“I can sit here now and visualise the scenes outside the Dandenong Town Hall.”

“Just the enormity, the sheer vol-

ume of people that spilled out of that town hall. It was pretty big.

“I can’t recall … and God knows I go to a lot of them, but I can’t recall a bigger … Jim Stynes was pretty big, but just for the sheer emotion and the sheer volume of people spilling out of that town hall I can’t quite remember anything like that.“ At the funeral, former team-mates and officials at Dandenong spoke fondly of the “loveable rogue”, known as Buzz locally and Pants after he moved to Collingwood.

The second of three sons to Bob and Denise Millane attended Noble Park Primary School and Coomoora High School, completing his secondary education at Chandler High.

He played for Noble Park, then Parkmore juniors and by 16 was playing senior VFA football with Dandenong, becoming the youngest player to captain the side.

An extraordinary sporting talent, he also once took all 10 wickets in a cricket innings as a junior.

Sure shot success soars

By JARROD POTTER SOARING to the top of Victorian soccer, Dandenong Thunder put the town on the map with a sensational 2012 season resulting in three high-calibre trophies going into the cabinet at George Andrews Reserve.

This was a town of soccer passion but never immense soccer success until this historymaking side was gathered in Dandenong for one magic season three years ago.

The Victorian Premier League (VPL) Championship, never before won by Dandenong despite a couple of close calls, the VPL minor premiership and a knockout tournament victory in the Dockerty Cup. This three-peat is rarely achieved in Victorian soccer for good reason - it takes an inordinate amount of skill and luck to get through each stage and, most importantly, be able to win it all.

It goes down as one of the greatest efforts in Dandenong sports history for how hard each facet of the treble is to claim on its own, let alone together in a single campaign.

After storming to a 14-6-2 record in the regular home-andaway season, followed by a 5-4 penalty shootout triumph over the Port Melbourne Sharks in the Dockerty Cup finale, Dandenong had earned two of three legs of the sublime treble.

By then speculation circled the sport as to whether Chris Taylor’s men were good enough to etch their names into our state’s soccer pantheon by completing the treble.

The third piece of the puzzle

was the hardest of all to attain - winning the VPL grand final.

Held at AAMI Park, the showpiece game on the FFV calendar became a back-andforth master class between Thunder and Oakleigh Cannons on 14 October 2012.

Forced to battle on with just 10 men in the second half, as Craig Elvin was sent from the field with two yellow cards by the 59th minute, Dandenong had to keep the pressure up and continued pestered the Oakleigh defence like it was at fullstrength.

The breakthrough finally came as it has a lot of times before this season - via the boot of wily Welshman Luke Sherbon.

Sherbon took a penalty in the 69th minute after Iqbal Jawadi was brought down in the box and the golden boot of the Welshman to push the Dandenong boys out to a 1-0 lead.

A levelling penalty was awarded to Oakleigh captain Ricky Diaco after second half substitute Dane Milovanovic’s dangerous run was cut off haphazardly by Thunder’s Sean McIlroy.

The match-winner for the amazing treble came as Sherbon went on a beguiling run and put the through-ball to mercurial striker Nate Foster, who cannoned the ball in to the nets.

After 20 nervous minutes, holding on despite the Cannons firing off shots at will at veteran Thunder goalkeeper Stuart Webster, the whistle granted Dandenong Thunder the right to call itself the champion.

Thunder’s coach Chris Taylor - now guiding the wildly

The VPL treble stands as the Dandenong soccer community’s achievement, which was won by the Dandenong Thunder in 2012. successful NPL side South Melbourne - could hardly believe how potent the attack was.

Luke Sherbon, Liam Kearney and Nate Foster at the front, the lynch-pin defence of Craig Elvin, Shane Rexhepi and Bryan Bran while youngsters Matt Theodore, Andrew Mullett and Iqbal Jawadi were the firebrands that were necessary to charge the side rapidly up the pitch.

Rexhepi - whose penalty shot won Thunder the Dockerty Cup - said to the Journal last

week that the memories of that year will never leave him, even long after he’s moved on from the team.

“As it was going along just the way that we were playing and the confidence that the boys had and that winning spirit - I knew from the start that we were going to create history,” Rexhepi said.

“You just had that feeling that you’re not going to lose and you’re going to win every game that comes across you whether it’s a cup final or play-

ing against the bottom team.

“You always look back and smile and sometimes people post videos up on Facebook and I watch the grand final every now and then and I still get goose bumps.

“Think to myself that there is no better feeling than winning cups and winning grand finals with your best mates and team mates and you just want to do it again and again.”

The halcyon days of the Thunder are in recess for the

time being after the FFV handed down a monstrous fine and lock-out penalties for the incident at the VPL grand final.

There are only a handful of players remaining from the golden era as the scandal surrounding the lighting of flares at the VPL grand final decimated the club’s resources and eventually its player base.

Hopefully one day the side can scale those heights once again that made the Thunder one of the mightiest in Victorian soccer.

The delivery may be different but the score’s still on the board

By JARROD POTTER THE Journal’s sport section has come a long way in 150 years.

Initially just strip columns as part of the ongoing sea of typeface and column inches, sport was once nestled in the pages and had to be searched out with a magnifying glass.

Pictures were a rarity and individual reports stood out as a true luxury.

Peering back into history as far as we could - with the first surviving edition of the South Bourke and Mornington Journal dated 10 January 1877 - shows that sport remained a massive part of the town’s history throughout

the entire 150 year history of this publication.

Our oldest inkling was a horse racing snippet - fitting for this paper as we continue to get out to Sandown Racecourse to support the finest galloping down the straight.

“The weather lately has been anything but suited to the sport-seeing public, nor yet quite a success for the promoters and managers of sports,” it said.

“But better luck next time. The Bass races were held on the 1st and were very poorly attended.”

Short, sharp and to the point. The eloquent waxing and flagellation of

sports reports that - I’ll admit has become part and parcel of my repertoire - is completely absent from the old reports.

Just the facts - there wasn’t room for much else in these jam-packed pages.

For football we can gaze back to May that same year with the condition of the ground and hospitality of the Dandenong team more important than the score, best on ground or any match highlights.

“A team from St Kilda met a Dandenong team to indulge in a game of football on Thursday last,” the article read.

“The visitors were too much for the

locals. After the game the visitors were treated like princes at Dunbar’s hotel and left well pleased with the manner in which they were received.

“A large portion of the game was played either in or through water and there is no doubt of the pluck displayed on both sides.”

Notice the “Thursday last” in particular. Everything up until very recently was done retrospectively as ladders, scores and fixtures took their sweet time to reach the Journal.

A correspondent’s report from 1877 suggested the Dandenong footballers should refine their techniques on the field, but later highlighted “Smith,

E Swords, Brocklebank, Crosie and Dobson” who “did good service”.

“It may not be out of place to mention that the Dandenongites would do well with more practice in the park instead of kicking in the street,” the correspondent wrote.

We’ve focused our gaze to just the Greater Dandenong area, and expanded our coverage to shift with the times in the sports section.

It’s amazing to know that this glimpse into our history shows that where we’ve come from and where we’re going isn’t all that different the readers wanted their sport and the Journal always delivered.

Cricketing great never forgets where his career started RED leather on willow is the sound of a Dandenong summer.

Cricket is Dandenong’s code of choice for the hotter months and it’s hard to not drive past any reserve in the area not full to the brim with cricketers both up-coming and out-going, old, young and everything in betwixt.

For as long as there’s been turfed-grass in Dandenong, the Journal has been around to fill in the cricket reports, dating as far back as its archived editions to 1879 as Dandenong and Springvale battled it out for local supremacy.

But throughout all the years and all the competitions, there is one name above all that defines the toil-then-toil-somemore attitude of Dandenong region cricket - Damien Fleming.

Fleming went from scouring the Journal as a budding

young Blood to find his figures or name in the goal-kicking, to seeing his name in the national spotlight as one of Australia’s finest bowlers.

But he would’ve been just as thrilled to get a run for the senior side.

“It was fantastic and with the Dandenong Journal there were always the results on the weekends or whatever day you could look up - always made sure you’d kick a couple of goals or get some wickets and runs so you’d get your name in the paper,” Fleming said.

“Realistically, you never think you’re going to get there (representing Australia) - when I was 12 or 13 if you promised me that I could actually get a game for Turf 1 Springy South I would’ve been over the moon.”

The Springvale South swing

sensation - whose acumen at aiming for the “avenue of apprehension” earned him a hattrick on Test debut as well as a World Cup victory in 1999 - will never forget where it all started at Harold Road - and those people - like Peter Mathison and Craig Slocombe - who pushed him and countless other cricketers along the path.

“Playing senior cricket when I was 13 - playing with all the Cleanaway boys with the tatts and guys having beers on the field and all that sort of stuff - but that made me feel really welcome and it was a great initiation into men’s cricket,” Fleming said.

Following his formative years at the Springvale South Cricket Club, Damien’s fast and accurate bowling saw him quickly progress to the state side and onwards to the baggy

green where he excelled across 20 Test matches and 88 one day internationals before a recurring shoulder injury put an end to his first class career.

But there was a longing to win a club flag - something he’d never achieved with his grade side South Melbourne Cricket Club - and in the 2005-06 season his return to local cricket to play Sub-District for Noble Park proved a stellar choice as the side collected the flag.

“I wanted to win a flag at senior level - obviously had a lot of success for Australia and we won a Shield and a one-day final for Victoria but I never won anything for my club team South Melbourne,” Fleming said.

“So my cousin-in-law was the president of Noble Park Cricket Club - Craig Ortland and he said ‘you’ll come and

Talent on show

By JARROD POTTER EVERY week Stud Road is graced with scores of basketball talent - from the smallest of junior point guards to the mighty centres that dominate the SEABL and WNBL. But basketball had to take the Dandenong community by storm gradually as it rose from a small scale school pursuit to playing in Australia’s peak competitions.

Basketball had been played in Dandenong for about a century with archival papers showing sides playing school championships in 1935 as Dandenong High School lost to MacRobertson Girls High School 8-51.

Dandenong basketball integrated into the public sporting community more seamlessly in 1959 when Dandenong Basketball Association was formed and a few years later... the Rangers - although not yet named as such - were born.

Ron Burgess - who was made a life member of Basketball Victoria in 2007 and awarded an Australian Sports Medal - was there to see the start of Dandenong Rangers’ growth as a club.

He coached the inaugural side in the mid-1960s before handing the reins to champion Harlem Globetrotter Willie Anderson in the South Eastern Conference Series.

“I was the first player-coach of the first Dandenong Rangers side and we weren’t known as Dandenong Rangers then,” Burgess said.

“They became Dandenong Rangers when we joined what was known then as the Pacific Conference.

“We were playing in the lower divisions and that was around 1965-1966 and we had the St Kilda ruckman Brian Mynott in our side.

“Dandenong men were declared Metropolitan in 1965 and we then had to compete in Albert Park in the second division championships.

“Then I coached the side up until about 1969 and then they went into Division 1 - because we were runners up in Division 2 - and the ex-Harlem Globetrotter Willie Anderson took over as coach.”

From the humble roots half-a-century ago, the Rangers have flourished.

Burgess’ men would take the 196667 Division 1 title at Basketball Victory Country Championships before switching to the metropolitan competition and the Dandenong women also claimed that championship.

Rangers women were never far be-

hind the men and most would say they have become synonymous with Dandenong basketball after making their biggest step yet in 1992 to join the Women’s National Basketball League and have earned three titles to date - 2004, 2005 and 2012.

Penny Taylor, Emily McInerney, Alison Downie and Larissa Anderson have been some of the greats to grace the WNBL courts and Dandenong continues to put up champions year on year, with a fourth flag never too far away on the horizon.

The Dandenong men caught up with a pair of BIG V championships in 2006

and 2007 and have become a fearsome presence in the SEABL. It’s here where men’s and women’s championship sides as well as junior Victorian Championships and D League pennants currently call home.

Dandenong looks to the next generation - Aimie Clydesdale, Lauren Scherf, Rachael Antoniadou, Anthony Drmic, Mason Peatling, Marley Biyendolo and Michael Wearne among others - to make their impact in the game, its testament to people like Ron Burgess, Charles Ryan and other behind-the-scenes administrators and coaches that allowed the association’s best and brightest to shine.

play one more year when you’re finished’ and I said ‘yeah, yeah, yeah’ never thinking about it.

“But then I called him and said I was keen to play... and we went on and won the final against Malvern, so it was just a fantastic year.”

Fleming took the path he believes has strengthened Dandenong cricket - with juniors encouraged to rise quickly through the DDCA senior ranks while the elder brigade stick around to cultivate the new prospects.

“I think it helps younger players, if they’re playing Turf 1, Turf 2 as teenagers, I think it prepares them for when they get to grade cricket,” Fleming said.

“So the competition and also with local cricket, as opposed to Premier cricket, older players will stay around and mentor and

I know a lot of the Springvale South guys, their sons get into the great culture and the same with Noble Park.

“I’m sure that’s like that throughout most of the DDCA clubs, so make sure it’s easy for kids to play the game of cricket, but also the competition needs to be strong to further their cricket, hopefully all the way to Australia.”

Since Grassmere CC won that first DDCA flag in 1931-32, the league has pushed through cricketers into the higher ranks and as the league extends to Beaconsfield this season at its southerly point and Parkdale towards the beaches, you’ll never dull the sounds of Dandenong’s vibrant cricket community as the next generation is always champing at the bit to get ready for the next season.

Bright history of achievement NESTLED in the midst of Dandenong’s central sporting avenue on Pultney Street - between the football and cricket ovals and the fading memories of the bowls and croquet clubs - is a series of orange monuments to the legacy of Dandenong’s sensational sporting history.

Nearly 10 years ago - with the Commonwealth Games gracing Melbourne in 2006 - the council decided the city’s best sporting heroes needed to be immortalised.

After sending out nomination requests and culling the list down to the best of the area, the council finalised a list of 14 sportspeople or clubs that led the city through its amazing athletic acumen.

There are the names that are utterly familiar with and need no further explanation - Jim ‘Frosty’ Miller, Damien Fleming, Noble Park Football Club, Dandenong Rangers WNBL team and swimming superstar Tammy Van Wisse.

But the Sporting Heroes of Greater Dandenong weren’t just the elite or most recognisable - but the people who best exemplified spirit - grit, determination and expertise were just as important as the stars we were used to watching.

Olympic Games weightlifter Robert Kabbas, who also leads

Australia’s medal count at the Commonwealth Games in the sport, Jayson Sutcliffe, who made his name as Australia’s first elite roller skater to win a world championships’ medal, cyclist Michael Ford and runner/ cricket David Goodman are some of the names most people wouldn’t immediately think of when going through the annuls of Dandenong sporting memories, but deserved their places in the heroes list for their sublime achievements.

Maurie Kirby - the 3XY/Channel 9 commentator who loved racing, greyhounds and Golden Glove Boxing - was one who excelled off the field, but captured the nation’s ear expertly.

Margaret Ann Anderson - who in every sense of the world was Australia’s great badminton champion champion lawn bowler Marion Stevens and finally the Dandenong City Bowls Club - which sadly rolled through its last ends earlier this year - also grace the list.

The Sporting Heroes monument stands as an altar to the city’s sporting successes and, hopefully, motivates those getting out onto the courts and reserves around Dandenong to reach for the peaks of their crafts like those who have come before them.

MOTORING

Tough guy lacking punch AS much as a small 1.2-litre three-cylinder hatchback could be considered aggressive, the new Micra is more so, according to Nissan.

The city runabout has ‘a new style that delivers a stronger, more assertive and dynamic look,’ its maker opines.

With almost 7 million sales under its belt in more than 30 years, the Nissan small car now checks in with a long list of upgrades, including revised spec levels, a new look and a slew of technical innovations.

The Micra, known as Nissan March in some countries, is built in four centres around the world and sold globally. All cars coming to Australia are made in India.

Nissan Micra ST manual hits the market at $13,490, plus on-road costs, an automatic version ups the price to $15,290, while the Ti comes in automatic only for $16,990. Nissan made the ST auto available for our week’s road test.

The smallest Nissan in Australia has come in for some big changes with more than 50 per cent new body panels.

It now features the Nissan ‘V-Motion’ front grille now delivering a stronger, more distinctive and dy-

namic look.

This frontal shape was introduced in the SUV and 4WD Nissans, yet looks good on this passenger car.

In addition, the latest Micra sports a new bonnet, front guards, restyled front and rear bumper, new headlights and rear lamps as well as new-design wheels.

Micra Ti grade enjoys 15-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, foglights and auto headlights.

Inside, the surroundings are of a higher standard than previously, with trim and surface finishes being given a quality look and feel.

All variants feature a new centre cluster, updated dashboard instrumentation and seat trim. Power windows are now standard.
