School leaders step up DANDENONG Rangers basketballer Aimie Clydesdale visited her former school, James Cook Primary School, to inspire a new generation of leaders. Aimie presented the school’s 2016 captains and house captains with their badges on Monday 15 February. Aimee was school captain at James Cook in 2005 where she flourished as a talented basketball player. She now plays for the Dandenong Rangers in the WNBL and is in the squad for the Australian Opals. She spoke to the students about the need to work hard to achieve the best out of life and make the most out of their time at the school.
■ Funds backing brings project closer...
Sights on shed By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A NEW men’s shed in Casey is one step closer to becoming a reality. Casey council unanimously passed a motion on Tuesday 16 February raised by councillor Rafal Kaplon, to look at funding options for a new men’s shed in either Narre Warren North or Endeavour Hills. The move comes with the backing of the Berwick Men’s Shed in Akoonah Park as the State Government is set to provide $60,000 in funding for community groups to use towards new men’s sheds. Berwick men’s shed president Lindsay Hard-
ing said in the three and half years that his facility had been running it had grown exponentially - currently with 160 members - and another shed was needed in Casey to cater for those men who had recently retired. “A lot of guys are workaholics; I spent 65 hours a week at the Good Guys and suddenly you’re retired, what do you do with those 65 hours?” Mr Harding said. “There’s only so much gardening you can do. “It’s a health issue, the men can come in and have a cuppa, have a talk and it keeps blokes’ minds active.” It’s believed potential sites for the new men’s
shed being considered include the Narre Warren North Uniting Church and the Narre Warren North Recreation Reserve. Possible sites in Endeavour Hills are also being assessed. Cr Kaplon confirmed that the council would investigate sharing in the funding made available by the Andrews Government. “Research consistently shows that men’s sheds actively support men’s health, combat social isolation and give participants a sense of purpose and self-esteem,” he said. “The sheds themselves give men a place to keep their woodworking and handyman skills
sharp but, more importantly, they are a powerful social network where men can feel comfortable to talk about their health and encourage each other to seek support.” Former Casey Mayor Rob Wilson has also announced plans to set up a new men’s shed in the same area but it’s understood that Mr Wilson’s bid is seemingly separate to the council’s and does not have the backing of the City of Casey or the Berwick Men’s Shed. In a statement released this week, Mr Wilson announced that the Narre Warren North Cricket Club would auspice the application for his new men’s shed, which is also earmarked for Endeavour Hills or Narre Warren North.

Gamblers hand over $64m in pokies loses By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE City of Casey is ranked second highest for pokies losses in the state, according to the latest statistics released by the Victorian Government. The Casey local government area (LGA) notched up $64.1 million worth of pokies losses from July to December 2015, falling behind Brimbank which took out the number spot with $75 million. Greater Dandenong rounded out the top three, falling just short of Casey with a combined pokies loss of $61 million. The Victorian Government report said that these LGAs are heading towards player losses of more than $100 million in 2015-16.
City of Casey Manager Planning Duncan Turner said Casey sat in the higher expenditure bracket because of its “large adult population” “The amount of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) per 1000 adults in Casey, is actually lower (4.3EGMs/1000 adults) than the state average (6EGMs/1000 adults),” he said. “The level of overall expenditure for Casey has remained relatively steady over the past three years, including average adult spend, even when factoring in rapid adult population growth. “This is due in part to no significant increase in the numbers of new EGMs.” Mr Duncan said the council’s
Electronic Gaming Machine Strategy 2015-2020 seeks to advocate to the State Government to reduce the incidence of problem gambling within Casey. “Council strongly discourages EGMs in suburbs where the EGM density is higher than the state average, while also not supporting the operation of EGMs within, or neighbouring a facility where the dominant activity focuses on children and young people under the age of 18 years,” he said. “Council’s position is for no new machines in community areas of high social and economic disadvantage.” Dr Charles Livingstone, a publichealth lecturer at Monash University, previously told Star News that venues
had learnt to exploit their machines better, after assuming control when Tatts and Tabcorp were shown the door in 2012. “They are moving the machines to greater disadvantage - that’s where we’re seeing the greater concentration,” he said. Dr Livingstone also said ATM withdrawal limits in venues were being circumvented by EFTPOS withdrawals. He said it was possible for problem gamblers to draw out $200 a time without a limit on the number of transactions. “Under the new system, you could take out $200 a minute if you wanted to,” Dr Livingstone said.
Man faces court over strip club explosion
Netball decision is in council's court CASEY council will again meet with representatives from the Doveton Netball Club who claim they won’t be able to survive if they don’t acquire a second court to play on. With only the one court at its Robinson Reserve facility, president Amanda Dean has previously told Star News her club did not have the capacity to host a final, even if Doveton finished high enough on the ladder to be deserving of one. But after a petition was presented to River Gum Ward councillor Damien Rosario last month, council has resolved to meet with the club executive to “identify opportunities to accommodate their growth”. It’s understood one option includes building two additional courts at Robinson Reserve. “They were very clear they needed help and Cr (Wayne) Smith and I jumped onto this,” Cr Rosario told Star News. During the season, the team is forced to rent a court up the road to host around five of its teams, which comes at a considerable cost. “It comes at quite a big cost to our club and a fairly substantial cost to the footy club overall,” Ms Dean said. “For the nine games we host during the year, there’s potentially 100 people not coming through the football gate, and each of those families pays roughly $10 at the canteen. “We just can’t get the numbers through on one court.”

Burglar not so sorry A BURGLAR has apologised but still made off with stolen items after occupants found him inside a Hallam house. The intruder broke into the Charles Avenue house through an unlocked door sometime between 9am and 11.35am when the occupants came home and found him hiding in a room. The thief said “sorry” and fled the house through a rear door with cash, jewellery and electrical items taken from the house. He jumped over a back fence and ran away. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Constable Spinks on 9705 3111, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A BERWICK man has appeared in court over a fire at the Kittens strip club in Caulfield South. According to news reports of the proceedings, Mark Ahern, 31, was charged with two counts of criminal damage by fire, one court of reckless conduct endangering life, handing stolen goods and possessing a prohibited weapon. He appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 18 February. He did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody until 9 June. Mr Ahern was arrested on Wednesday with a female companion at a house in Mason Way who was released by detectives later the same day with a diversion notice for drug offences. The court was told a knuckle duster was found during a search of the house. On Tuesday 16 February police began investigating whether a burntout car found in Hallam was linked to the fire. The blazing BMW was seen in Basil Close just before 6am. A Basil Close resident said she heard three bangs and saw flames from her bedroom window about 5.30am before she called the fire brigade. However, she didn’t see anyone at the scene. “It’s not a very well-lit court,” she said. Detectives have been told that a ‘pop’ was heard in the vicinity of Kittens just after 3am. The light-coloured BMW was

Relief arrives By LACHLAN MOORHEAD LOCAL commuters will finally find some relief at Hallam Railway Station where construction of the new public toilets is underway. When in Opposition, the Andrews Government campaigned heavily about the lack of public toilets at the station and promised to install them in the lead-up to the 2014 election. The automated toilets themselves are due next month, with much of the site testing, design and foundations already finished. Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley said the new automated toilets are self-cleaning and will feature large cubicles, a durable floor, stainless
steel walls and LED lighting. “I am just so pleased that after years of holding on, local commuters will soon have access to toilets at Hallam Station,” she said. “I know that it has been a major inconvenience for so many who are simply trying to get to and from work or school each day.” Commuters have been campaigning to have public toilets built at the station since 2011 when the then Liberal Government dumped plans to upgrade Hallam Station to premium status, which would have meant the station got public toilets. The new development underway at Hallam Station is also expected to see an additional eight spaces added to the car park.

JACK JOHNSON IS THE AUTHOR OF WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES, A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN DANDENONG, HIS YEARS TENDING TO THE CITY’S PIPES AND DRAINS AS A PLUMBER AND BRINGING UP A FAMILY WITH WIFE FRANCES IN THEIR BELOVED HOME IN MACPHERSON STREET.
Lining up to use a phone, imagine that! BECAUSE there was no public phone boxes in the street we would walk with mum to the old post office that had been built in 1879 to make a phone call. At the post office there was a group of numbered public phone booths installed along the verandah of the post office. Mum would book her call at the post office desk and when the call came through they would announce her name over the loud speaker and tell her which numbered box to go into. When the allotted time had passed the exchange operator would cut in and say ‘are you extending?’ and if she was, mum would have to put more coins into the phone.

When we moved to Cleeland Street the Monti family lived down the road from our house. Members of the family worked at the telephone exchange for many years. The youngest of them went to school with us at St Mary’s. How different it is today, when little
kids have their own mobile phones. These amazing little pieces of 21st century technology, most of them so small they fit into the hand of a third grader, can text messages, take photos, play games and watch television and have every ring tone, call sign and flashing light you could think of. That post office was the one of our early childhood, and at that time the postmaster lived in the residence. In later years the residence was used to enlarge the post office and the postmasters lived in private homes. This was the same triangular piece of land next to the town hall on which the present post office building stands today. It is of concrete slab construction as
are most of the commercial buildings of today. For heating, most houses only had open wood fires and some families did part of their cooking on them. We cooked toast on ours with a long wire fork. Some houses has an iron frame and hook which swung from the inside of the fireplace on which they hung a cast-iron kettle or boiler. We did not have one of these frames, but we did have a couple of cast-iron kettles and a boiler which sat on the open fire to boil water when the kitchen wood stove was not burning. It was for the wood stoves that we had to split the large logs to fit into the small fire boxes.
Some of the larger houses and hotels had cast-iron stoves which had double ovens and two fireboxes usually fired by coke. On the end of some there was a built-in hot water boiler with a brass outlet tap like a water tank. Some years later, after the war, when working with CL Godfrey, I would install many AGA and Rayburn slow combustion stoves on farmhouses around the district. Those stoves had hot water boilers built into them to which we connected an insulated hot water cylinder usually on a stand in the laundry or on the farmhouse verandah.

Children from all grades - from preps through to sixth grade - will use the new computers, she said. The 16 classroom school has 24 teachers and students from 33 different migrant backgrounds. “We are proud of our multi-culturalism. We have Bosnian children, Turkish - also students from Eritrea and Sri Lanka.”
24 hours in Greater Dandenong. Melbourne water spokesman Paul Pretto said the water authority’s drainage system had “coped well” with the millions of litres that fell in Melbourne within a matter of hours. “No urban drainage system in the world could have reasonably swallowed the intense rainfall Melbourne experienced on 4 and 5 February” Melbourne Water said in a statement. However Dandenong-based researcher Alan Hood said almost twice as much rain fell in parts of eastern Melbourne in two days in 1934. “So talk about one in 100 or one in 500 year flood is nonsense.”
LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 17 February 1915 Recruiting Recruiting Sergeant Pickett reports everything going favourably with recruiting in the shire. Up to the present, 33 men have been accepted for active service and the sergeant is confident that within the course of a few days he will be able to announce that the Dandenong Shire has supplied its quota of 69 to the new army. This reflects great credit on the shire, considering how it has been drained of suitable men during the past year. 50 years ago 24 February 1966 School is proud of its Students Dandenong High School is proud of its students, particularly the 67
successful 1965 matriculants. Eighteen obtained first class honors, 65 second class honors. To assist in school organisation, and in an effort to bring parents into close touch with the school problems, Dandenong High School in 1966 is substituting junior and senior assemblies for the traditional end of year speech nights. The first of these will be held on Wednesday February 23 at 8pm. All students in form 1 to 11 are invited to attend, and the school urges all parents of students in these forms to be present. The first part of the evening will be used for the presentation of awards to those students who achieved creditable scholastic results while in forms 1 and 11 in 1965. Winners of junior scholarships
20 years ago 19 February 1996 School Boots Up Computing joins three Rs Dandenong North Primary School’s 420 students have started the new school year on a hi-tech note. The school now has a new computer room as part of a $200,000 upgrade last year, much to the delight of principal Kevin McKay and assistant principal Mrs Geraldine McKenzie. The new room housed 15 IBM compatible multi-media computers costing about $40,000, Mrs McKenzie said. There are also four laptops for the use of staff, and a laser printer.

Greater Dandenong Inspector Bruce Kitchen said the full benefit of custody officers wouldn’t be felt until more were in place. “Internally the reaction’s very positive. They just want more of them quicker,” he said. He expects custody officers to help with police recruit retention rates by freeing officers to get out on the road and do the work they enjoy.

DODGING spit, fists and verbal abuse is all in a day’s work for custody officer Ellen Rider. The Noble Park woman worked at Melbourne Remand Centre for the past 17 years before completing an accelerated custody officer training course and starting work at Dandenong Police Station a few weeks ago. There she processes and transports prisoners in order to free up police officers so they can spend more time solving crimes and liaising with the community. Dandenong is the busiest station for prisoners outside the metropolitan area. It can sleep 22 prisoners across seven cells four at the station and three at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. An 80-metre underground tunnel links the two custody areas. It’s cold, stark and has a blue glow - and no end in sight when the solid entry door closes behind. Tunnel access is via an elevator with a lockable glass dividing door that holds three prisoners, handcuffed together, separate from the officers transporting them. It’s fitted with a CCTV camera and many more of them line the tunnel. Like the lift, they were new additions during recent renovations. Ms Rider and a second custody officer each work 10 eight-hour shifts a fortnight at Dandenong. She’s looking forward to four more officers joining them in mid-March, with up to 19 expected to be in place by mid-year. “I think that will make a real difference,” she said. “It is quite busy here.” Coming custody officers won’t have the background in the sector that Ms Rider benefits from, and she’s interested to see how they’ll settle in. She recommended the job to people with some life experience and a thick skin - drugs and bravado make for unpredictable and sometimes aggressive prisoners. “You’ll get called stuff,” she said. “They’re not my friends so what they say to

Bright future
IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… DID you know that the City of Casey’s new civic centre, the Taj Mahal, is one of the largest projects to be undertaken by local government in Australia! Oops, Bunjil Place, is its correct name. But don’t pretend like you haven’t heard its nickname around town! It may be known as Bunjil Place around Magid Drive, Narre Warren, but to the local ratepayer it’s affectionately called the Taj.
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS ONE year after arriving in Australia, Hayuran Mahendiran and Farzana Nadiri have come a long way. The pair battled language and cultural barriers before a Greater Dandenong Council’s Young Leaders program helped them find their feet last year. Emboldened, they are staying on to mentor and inspire the program’s 2016 recruits. Afghan-born Ms Nadiri wishes all young people including new arrivals could do the program. “Especially when Australia is attracting so many migrants, they have to know about their new culture. “It’s the best way to co-operate with each other.” Ms Nadiri, 22, of Hallam, started the program just two months after arriving from Pakistan with her husband. She was coming to terms with new cultural ways, language and the Australian accent, as well as suffering from depression. She has left behind her parents and siblings to endure the atrocious targeted killings of Hazaras in Quetta, Pakistan. “The people born here are very lucky and they don’t know that.” In the past year, she’s won an Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship scholarship to take part in a leadership course for young women and brainstormed at a MyHack workshop for antiradicalisation kits. “The main thing is I’ve communicated with different types of people, learnt more about Australia as well as helped my leadership skills.
Hayuran Mahendiran and Farzana Nadiri have kicked on since joining the Young Leaders program. 149858 Picture: ROB CAREW “If I hadn’t have done these programs, I wouldn’t be able to understand what Australian culture needs from me.” The young leaders identified issues such as mental health and unemployment and learnt how to organise events to tackle them. One of the young leaders’ projects was to raise mental health awareness by producing a video screened in front of 300 students at Dandenong’s Harmony Square. Ms Nadiri hopes to mentor other young people whose mental health is wavering, as well as young victims of family violence. “Many that I’ve met don’t know they have rights or where to go for help.” In Mr Mahendiran’s case, the program helped him emerge from painful shyness and make lifelong friends with other young leaders. The 20-year-old Dandenong man had fled Sri Lanka as a refugee in 2014 and arrived in Australia with his father and sister later that year. Half of his family wait in limbo in Indonesia. But at least they’re

safe, he said. After three months settling into Australia, a friend “dragged” him into the program. “It was the platform for me to take the next step. “It’s hard for us from different backgrounds but we feel we’re doing better with each day. “There’s a lot of help out there.” Mr Mahendiran was at first terrified of serving customers as part of a hospitality training course. Now he thrives on such encounters and recently presented in front of a forum of 200 people. This year’s Young Leaders program is open to people aged 16 to 25 who live, work or study in Greater Dandenong. The program teaches skills in public speaking, media and promotion, effective communication, conflict resolution, stress management and implementing projects. It runs each Tuesday from 4.30pm to 6.30pm between April and October. For details visit greaterdandenong.com.
AFTER Star News got behind Casey Neighbourhood Watch (NW) the relentless crime prevention institution will live to see another day! Casey NW secretary of 15 years Jennifer Baird said she has had two phone calls since the article on the Neighbourhood Watch’s struggling member numbers went to print. “We’re very happy with the response,” Jennifer said. All up NW has had four people contact it about taking up roles. “At our last meeting we had two new people attend who said they heard about it through Facebook and word of mouth. “It was voted that we keep going, even if it does in a smaller form, and in our March AGM it will be reviewed.” But from Jen’s positive attitude it seems the consensus remains strong on keeping the voluntary and watchful eyes out on our streets! SOMEONE needs to take their breakfast cereal a little less seriously. A Doveton man stood accused at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court of punching his partner in the mouth over an argument about sharing Coco Pops. Facing a string of outstanding arrest warrants, the man however wanted to “get his life sorted” and turned himself in at Endeavour Hills police station, the court was told. The ice use - which had coincided with his offending - had ceased for the past 10 months. The magistrate was impressed with the man staying out of trouble for nearly a
year and prepared to go back into remand by turning himself in. The man was put on a community corrections order to support his continuing rehab. A JOURNAL reporter drew the attention of metro paparazzi at Dandenong court house. Covering a high-profile greyhound livebaiting trial, the reporter was flanked by rapidly approaching photographers snapping their cameras as he left the building. The reporter - who by the way is no fan of the dishlickers - did his best to smile under duress and inform the excitable togs he was not a greyhound trainer. THE Journal team’s thoughts are with Don Cameron and his family as he starts his battle with cancer. The Cornerstone Contact Centre coordinator said his church and community were lending support. “I think I’m the most prayed-for person in Melbourne. I cut my hair short last Monday to impress my wife - and it did.” A WANDERING wombat caused confusion at Tooradin foreshore recently. It all started when a man came rushing into a Tooradin cafe, demanding the address of the local cop shop. When asked what on earth had happened to him, the man replied “none of your business”. But the story got out and here’s how it goes. The man was sitting on the Tooradin foreshore toilet when he heard something scratching around. Fearing it was a peeping Tom park ranger, the man rushed to report the incident to police. However the innocent park ranger stepped up to carry out his own investigation and after some digging and sniffing around he discovered that the noise wasn’t someone sneaking a peek but was in fact a wombat! He, the wombat, had got stuck between the pipes! But don’t fret, he’s been rescued and is now safe and sound.

Self-harming shared By GEORGIA WESTGARTH
Casey schools are dealing with self-harming students on a weekly basis. Picture: Anna Gutermuth, flickr via Creative Commons Ms Waring said she had witnessed an increase in self-harming over the past 18 months. However, she said there wasn’t a particular type of person who was involved. “Self-harming is usually noticed in students ranging from Year 7 to 10 and usually they are dealing with bullying, a complex home life or anxiety and it’s a
way of letting their pain out,” she said. “Especially if they are highly anxious, they feel if they cut themselves it releases some of the pain they feel, even though they are feeling the physical pain.” But Ms Waring said parents should not automatically think that suicidal behaviour would follow.
“Self-harming doesn’t necessarily mean that person is suicidal - a lot of parents think if they are self- harming it’s going to lead to suicide, but it’s not,” she said. Those who need immediate assistance can phone Lifeline on 13 11 14 or contact CISS to book a free consultation.
A PEDESTRIAN was allegedly coward punched at a crossing after an angry driver refused to give way in the Fountain Gate car park. A group of people were crossing the road at a pedestrian crossing at the shopping centre about 11.45am on Saturday 6 February, when the driver of a white SUV allegedly refused to give way. The three occupants inside the car then got out and started a fight with the pedestrians. One of the pedestrians was punched by an occupant of the car and sustained serious head injuries. The driver of the car is described as a Caucasian man in his twenties, had short blond hair and was wearing a singlet and shorts. The second occupant was a Caucasian woman in her late twenties, with long blonde hair, had a slim build and was wearing a long striped dress. The third occupant, who allegedly coward punched the pedestrian, is described as a Caucasian man, aged in his early thirties, is six foot two, had a solid or obese build and short brown hair and a short beard.

TEENAGERS are using social media as a platform to post images and messages about self-harming, and school counsellors are dealing with the destructive behaviour at alarming rates. One Casey youth counsellor has said that the behaviour is a cry for help and a way of releasing psychological pain through physical harm. It is a problem that Casey schools are dealing with on a weekly basis. “Suicide seems to be on the rise, but I see a lot more self-harming,” Cranbourne Information and Support Service (CISS) youth worker Natalie Waring said. “It’s not an epidemic, but it is on the rise. Kids can Google anything these days.” Some self-harming methods Ms Waring is aware of include cutting using a Stanley knife or blades from a pencil sharpener. Ms Waring, who also works at a Casey secondary college, said some teens turned to cutting their wrists, arms, stomach or upper thighs as a coping mechanism. They then hide the bloody incisions by wearing heavy coats and long sleeve shirts, even in warm weather. “I find a lot of girls do it in groups and post it on social media as a way of getting it out there. “But both sexes do it and they see how many ‘likes’ they get,” she said. Ms Waring said the behaviour was a way of getting attention for a variety of problems. “People describe it as attention seeking but attention is help, it’s their way of saying I need help,” she said. “I think it is a sad way of going about it, but by putting it on social media they might hope that someone might come up and say, hey, can I help you?”

Kids face hoax stress By GEORGIA WESTGARTH THERE’S been five confirmed bomb threats that have terrorised Casey schools this month, and local counsellor Natalie Waring said the effects on children as young as five, can be far reaching, and often invisible. Youth case worker at Cranbourne Information and Support Service (CISS), Ms Waring said as a result of the panicky and swift evacuations of thousands of primary school students, they were likely to have anxiety and a fear of going to school. “It’s all the stress and secrecy of the parents, teachers and police officers that the children pick up on and news headlines that they can’t avoid,” Ms Waring said. “Children may experience panic attacks, they might lie to get out of going to school, play up at school as a coping mechanism and may experience trouble sleeping.”
Berwick Lodge and Berwick Chase was one of the first confirmed primary schools to experience the threatening phone calls that turned out to be hoaxes on Friday 29 January. And on Thursday 11 February, the stress continued at Cranbourne’s Rangebank Primary School. “It’s expected that children will worry it will happen again, and if their parents will be able to pick them up this time,” Ms Waring said. “Speaking to the child about how they are feeling and talking through what they can do when they start to feel scared will help.” Ms Waring said some warning signs to look out for include a change in sleeping and eating habits. “Often children just want reassurance from an adult but some don’t want to express their worries in fear of upsetting their parents, I see that a lot,” she said.

“If parents want some comfort, they can visit us at CISS for a free counselling session and often the child will open up with-
out mum or dad present.” Ms Waring said for some children the bomb hoaxes will trigger other emotions and feel-
ings they’ve suppressed. To contact CISS and book a free counselling session phone 5996 3333.
State to foot bill for emergency school alerts THE State Government will cover the cost for state schools to send mass text alerts in case of emergencies, after a spate of bomb threats across the nation in recent weeks. Education Minister James Merlino confirmed on Friday the government would pay for sending SMS alerts to parents during emergency situations, including bushfires, in the wake of a series of threatening calls which have seen a number of schools in Casey and Cardinia evacuated.
The SMS service was installed at all schools last year but some hadn’t activated the service. “The latest hoaxes have been a timely reminder about the importance of schools quickly notifying their parent communities, after first ensuring the safety of students and staff," Mr Merlino said. On Thursday 11 February another Pakenham school - Pakenham Springs Primary School, on Livingstone Boulevard - was evacuated due to a bomb threat call. It comes as a number of Victorian
schools have been evacuated for the same reason in the last fortnight, including St Patrick’s Primary School in Pakenham, Kooweerup Primary School, Berwick Chase Primary and Berwick Lodge. Police are yet to lay charges against those responsible for the calls, many of which were automated, received by various Melbourne schools. However, Nossal High School in Berwick has been linked to the hoax bomb threat made against Berwick Lodge Primary School on Friday 29 January. Hackers
are believed responsible for that incident. Police are continuing to investigate. Threatening calls have also been made to schools in New South Wales and Queensland, while it’s understood a number of other countries, including the UK and France, received similar threatening phone calls. Anyone with further information regarding the hoax calls is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report to www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.
FIVE Hallam workers were jumping for joy this week when they learned they’d won the lotto. The private syndicate of five colleagues won a division one share in the $20 million Valentine’s Superdraw. The syndicate captain said he was unaware of the life changing news until they were informed by a Tatts official. He said the five coworkers had been playing TattsLotto for about 16 years and always purchased a System 8 entry made up of lucky numbers that they’d all selected. “With our windfall I think some of us will pay off our mortgages and do some renovations,” he said. The Hallam workers, who wish to remain anonymous, purchased their System 8 entry, which won division one and additional divisional prizes totalling $1,190,071, from Hallam Square News and Lotto. Hallam Square News and Lotto owner Gabriel Carr said he was thrilled to hear the news. “It’s been an amazing journey so far and I already can’t wait for our next big win!” he said. “I’ve been telling my customers that I’m hoping to do it again and that you never know when we may get our hat-trick!”

Winds of change sweep in By GEORGIA WESTGARTH IT WILL be a picture. One wind surfer, dozens of yachts and a record breaking quest for self-empowerment. Avid wind surfer Simon Chambers is a 40-year-old man from Blind Bight, a CFA volunteer of 18 years and a husband battling depression. But his desire to take on the Warneet Motor Yacht Club’s Around French Island Race (WAFIR) on a surf board and dependent on the wind only is one that has never been done before. And it’s something that’s been bugging him for more than 10 years. “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, so I’m going to do it,” Mr Chambers said, despite doctors’ warnings. “Three years ago I was in hospital with blood clots in my heart and lung, doctors told me that I wouldn’t be able to wind surf again because I am on blood thinners, I took the news very badly.” Doctors were concerned for his recovery if he was to have an accident on the water and those words spiralled Mr Chambers into a deep depression. “It took me about six months to try and deal with the news and with depression you have good and bad days,” Mr Chambers said. “But this expedition is my chance of saying listen, this has been my life for 28 years and I’m not going to change. Wind surfing is an outlet for me, I love being out on the water and it’s a way of taking control of my life.
“It’s about that feeling of freedom, of knowing I can do what I want to do, rather than being told I can’t.” It will be his longest expedition to date, and Mr Chambers will leave from the Warneet Yacht Club at 8am on Saturday 20 February along with the yachtsmen who are also taking on the eight-hour trip. Mr Chambers is currently liaising with his gym instructor on what food to pack in his specialty board and has been working hard in preparation for the mighty sail. “The journey will cover around 100 plus kilometres, the longest I’ve ever done in one stint has been 70 kilometres so it will be a challenge on both my fitness and windsurfing abilities,” he said. Mr Chambers cannot be officially entered in the race because his choice of transportation doesn’t fall under the correct guidelines. “They’re happy to monitor my progress and I’ll feel safer knowing I have all the yachts around me - and so will my wife!” he said. But Mr Chambers isn’t making the ride all about him, instead he is using his quest to help raise awareness for the CFA, which is always on the lookout for volunteers. “Our local CFA brigades face the challenge of recruiting new volunteers to ensure a strong future and I thought I may be able to help spread the word,” he said. Mr Chambers has added stickers to
Simon Chambers at the Blind Bight foreshore, practising before his big expedition. 150230 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS his sail to “get the word out”. “I have been a CFA volunteer for 18 years and there are so many brigades struggling with numbers,” he said. “I am hoping to use this unique adventure to bring both my long-time passions together.”
Since his medical setback, Mr Chambers has conquered some of his own sporting personal bests. “They said I shouldn’t surf, but you can’t keep a man down,” he said, laughing. “Since they told me that, I’ve gone
faster than I’ve ever gone and now I’m looking at going further than I’ve gone.” Those who have been inspired by Simon Chambers’s efforts and who would like to become a CFA volunteer can get more information at www.cfa. vic.gov.au/volunteer-careers.
Introducing your
School Principal
The school has successfully maintained a balance between tradition and innovation and our vision is to create an environment where all students can achieve success. In order to foster a real sense of belonging and connection to the school students are grouped in 7 Houses with 300 students from Years 7 - 12 in each House, a leadership team of 4 and 25 staff. Students learn in groups of 50 with a team of 3 teachers in architecturally designed, and technology rich learning spaces and learning is personalised to meet each students need.
I am incredibly proud to be the leader of such a unique and dynamic learning community and would encourage you to visit our website or contact the school to arrange a tour.

Using a model of Christ centred education within a safe and honouring environment, Maranatha seeks to inspire children to think Christianly about the world, and so use their God given gifts and talents for the benefit of others. We do this by employing talented Christian teachers who are highly qualified and well regarded educators with the ability to build quality relationships with students.
1217238-EB08-16
The curriculum is based on the principles of direct instruction, inquiry and discovery and we have an extensive, individualised Senior Studies program that provides the students with a wide range of pathways options. The school also has a strong student leadership program, a range of sporting and extracurricular activities and has achieved great success in the Performing and visual arts.
Thomas Mitchell Primary School Thomas Mitchell Drive ENDEAVOUR HILLS
What makes a great Christian school? For me, a great school is one in which children are given opportunity - the opportunity to learn, develop their faith, think, serve, grow and excel. To do this, they need three things - the desire to discover and develop their God given gifts and talents, the skills and courage to use them, and the support from school and home to have a go. This is Maranatha Christian School – a genuine Christian learning community with a long history of developing Christian leaders in our community.
Established in 1919, Dandenong High School is one of the oldest, largest and most culturally diverse Secondary schools in the state. During the past 5 years the school has undergone a period of intense change and redevelopment including a merge of 3 schools, the development of an innovative, collaborative learning model, the creation of a unique house structure and is nearing completion of Stage 3 of a 45 million dollar building project.
1174094-DJ09-15
I feel most privileged to be the principal of this wonderful school. I have been a school principal for more than 30 years. In 1990, I was appointed to the position of principal of a new school to be opened at the start of 1991 – Thomas Mitchell Primary School. This school has grown from 286 students when it started to around 800 students in 2015. There have been many significant changes at Thomas Mitchell in the past 24 years. Our community has evolved into a highly multicultural, complex and exciting learning environment. While we concentrate on teaching literacy and numeracy, we greatly value the cultures and languages of the 70+ nationalities represented at the school. Parents and children are encouraged to value their ‘mother tongue’ language and culture at home while learning English at school. All students learn an Asian language at school – Mandarin or Indonesian, and participate in Asian studies to prepare them for the future. Sports and the Arts – Visual Arts and Performing Arts, Science and History are all part of the complex curriculum now taught at school. Thomas Mitchell is one of only 20 schools in Victoria to be a fully accredited school with the Council of International Schools. This accreditation commits the school to continuous, rigorous improvement. Our parent community is very supportive of our dedicated staff. Parents are aspirational for their children, but reasonable and eager to help. My great joy as principal is to speak to the kids each day. To see their smiling, happy faces as they arrive at school. To hear about and share the things that excite them. It makes me come to school each day!

HIGH STYLE HAMPTON THE Hampton offers functionality like no other. It is cleverly designed to provide room to accommodate large crowds and savvy enough to provide privacy to the rest. With its striking light fitting and scene-stealing bulkhead ceiling, there’s no denying the kitchen is at the very heart of the Hampton 262 by Kialla Homes, as displayed at Timbertop Estate, Officer. Alternatively, homebuyers have the option to include a butler’s pantry or use the alfresco area as a rumpus room instead for more indoor family space. “It is this versatility that makes the Hampton perfect for couples, families and empty nesters, Kialla Homes general manager,” Danny Muller said. There are three floorplan variations available or buyers can customise the home to suit their individual needs. The Hampton, which includes a theatre room, study and three spacious bedrooms, including the main with en suite and a large walk-in wardrobe, can also be fine-tuned to suit the size and shape of individual blocks of land. “Areas can be zoned off if there are only two people in the house at any one time, but it can also comfortably accommodate family and house guests,” Danny said. Visit the Hampton 262 by Kialla Homes at Timbertop Estate, Clovelly Way, Officer, from Saturday to Wednesday, noon until 5pm. Kialla Homes, 5941 3996 or Kiallahomes. com.au

Stamp of approval for world-first roll innovation By CASEY NEILL KINETIC Elements is turning around its fortunes with world-first rolls. The Noble Park North manufacturer will use a $1 million Accelerating Commercialisation grant for equipment to make textured titanium rolls for the printing and packaging industries. Kinetic Elements managing director Alex Engel said the Federal Government Entrepreneurs’ Programme grant would “make us a global player” and “is going to be good for the country, really”. “We’ve been suffering a lot from cheap Chinese imports, so this new technology will allow us to compete with that,” he said. “But more than that, it will open up OEM (original equipment manufacturer) markets for us. “They’re much more environmentally friendly they’re fully recyclable, cheaper to produce, they improve the quality. “It’s really win, win, win all round.” Mr Engel said the new equipment should be up and running next year and in the long-term would boost its 30-employee workforce. Laserlife has been in Noble Park North for 10 years and in business since 1968, and con-
ducted the research and development for the rolls. “But once we got the patents we thought we should commercialise it under a new entity,” Mr Engel said. “That’s where Kinetic Elements came from.” Assistant Innovation Minister Wyatt Roy and Bruce Liberal candidate Helen Kroger toured the plant on 12 February. “Kinetic Elements has used innovation to stay ahead of the curb and develop this worldfirst technology,” Mr Roy said. “Through this exciting project, there is the potential for 18 new high-skill jobs to be created in the local area. “Australia is on a strong path to become a world leader in innovation and entrepreneurship. “Businesses such as Kinetic Elements are at the forefront of this development.” Ms Kroger said the family business was a great example of innovation and enterprise in the community. “Forty-eight years ago, the same business made rubber for stamps around the kitchen table,” she said. “Today they are at the cutting edge of hightech manufacturing.”

Company fined over underpaying truck drivers UNDERPAYING three truck drivers has cost a Dandenong South transport company more than $40,000. The Federal Circuit Court penalty followed a Fair Work Ombudsman investigation and included a $34,500 fine against Openica Logistics and a further $7100 against its director Vladimir Taseki. The workers, aged in their 50s, contacted Fair Work for help after being
underpaid living away from home allowances. Two were not paid casual loading and one was not paid for all kilometres driven. The underpayments took place between 2010 and 2012 and totalled $69,175. The employees were back-paid in full after Fair Work started legal proceedings. Judge Grant Riethmuller said the underpayments were significant, particularly
in the context of wages for truck drivers. He said the living away from home allowance had been a feature of the relevant award since 1963. “The respondents point out that the sleeper cabs in the trucks were assessed by Work Safe as sufficient for fatigue management, although, clearly, requiring the driver to sleep in a cabin is an imposition beyond normal arrangements one
would expect for an employee, for example a motel room,” he said. “It is clear that the living away from home allowance is intended to compensate a driver for these conditions.” Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James said the court’s decision sent a message that businesses could expect to face tough penalties for serious or repeat contraventions of their workplace obligations.
Plaza’s new chiefs move in DANDENONG Plaza will soon have a new owner. GPT Group has agreed to sell the shopping centre to Sydney-based Armada Funds Management for $197 million, subject to Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval. Settlement is expected on 29 February. JLL’s retail investments head Simon Rooney negotiated the transaction and said it would be the fourth largest in the retail sector for 2015 and the second largest individual shopping centre sold for the year. The centre has about 57,128 square metres of gross lettable area and includes Kmart and Target discount department stores, Coles, Woolworths and Aldi supermarkets, Reading Cinemas, 14 mini major tenancies, 142 specialty tenancies, 23 kiosks and car parking for 3248 vehicles. GPT’s head of retail Vanessa Orth said replacing Myer and new leases with Target and Woolworth had preceded starting a sale campaign in September.

SPORT
Bloods take premiership By JARROD POTTER DDCA - TWENTY20 GRAND FINAL DELIGHT and disaster - these were the contrasting fortunes in Springvale South’s Twenty20 premiership win over Buckley Ridges. While the Bloods had a phenomenal outing - riding the luck and rattling over the Ridges cheaply after sending the hosts in - there was nothing that went right for D.J. Watson’s men. It started with a lost toss, as Springvale South sent Buckley Ridges in on a greenish deck, and only got worse as skipper Watson (0) immediately fell. Imports Sunsantha Pradeep (20) and Kunal Kapoor (15) made a quick fightback - as Pradeep put a couple of slapped sixes over the rope - but, alongside marquee Jaime Brohier (7), none of the top order particularly fired. Wickets fell in clumps and worse still for the hosts, Buckley Ridges could not cash in off the part-timers. Bloods’ skipper Brett Forsyth (1/11) - Springvale South’s marquee player - and Brayden Sharp (1/17) were miserly through the middle overs, holding Buckley Ridges down at the critical juncture. Suren Ekanayake (18 not out) and Cal O’Hare (12) rotated the strike wherever they could, but couldn’t hit the boundary ball - all the more problematic on the postage stamp that is Park Oval. A six and a four from Troy Aust (18 not out) set the bar at 121 for Springvale South to hunt down a second Twenty20 title in as many years. The response was well-weighted from the Bloods as Forsyth (24 not out) anchored the effort and rotated the strike to his more powerful counterparts. While the Ridges’ ground-fielding was solid, the chances did not fall their way at all. Michael Vandort (44) rode his luck - avoiding an easy run-out, a stumping and a near-miss catch all in the same
Above: Springvale South celebrated back-to-back Twenty20 premierships with a seven-wicket grand-final win over Buckley Ridges. 150482 Pictures: JARROD POTTER Left: Heavy hitting off Nathan King guided the Springvale South chase. 150482 over - after he got onto the likes of Lukas Hoogenboom (1/21) and Watson (1/21) early. Vandort’s dismissal only brought out more pain for Buckley Ridges. Nathan King (46) viciously destroyed the opponents, but once again rode his luck with a couple of near misses on the rope. O’Hare got finger tips to two fullblooded swats into the boundary, but
couldn’t hold on as it bobbled out of his hands. King seized the second life to smash the next two balls into the trees to all but end the innings, leaving Forsyth to strike final few runs to clinch the Bloods their first 2015/16 cup. It started with a good toss to win and Forsyth wanted to cash in with a run-chase and wait for the deck to even out.
“We normally think runs on the board - that’s how we won last year’s T20 grand final, but the wicket had a tinge of green,” Forsyth said. “Didn’t want to waste a ball by going slow at the start, and we trust in the bowlers and fielders, and to play the cricket we want to our plan. “I knew if our top seven batted those 15 or so overs out we’d get home and that was the case - it went to script I suppose.”
Young runner is on track for quick success By RUSSELL BENNETT HOCK Meng Siau has always shown signs of being naturally fast - right from when he began to crawl as a little boy and his knees barely touched the ground. But it wasn’t until last year that the young Haileybury student truly began to harness his god-given gift for speed. Remarkably, Meng only started athletics training in June as a 12-year-old and before the end of the year he’d competed at both the state and national championships. His first competition was in the APS (Associated Public Schools) titles where he came first in all three of his events the 100 metres, 200 metres and the 4x100 metre relay. He then went on to the School Sport Victoria (SSV) Regional Championship where he won gold in the 100 metres and came fourth in the 200 metres. His relay team also won gold in the 4x100 metre relay. From there, it was the State Championships at Albert Park where he won bronze in the 100 metres and silver in the 4x100. Then, in December at the School Sport Australia (SSA) national championships Meng and his Victorian team mates won bronze in the 4x100 and he
came fifth in the individual 100 metres with a personal best of 12.26 seconds. Meng had just a five-week block to train for the national championships, and in that time - thanks to Haileybury athletics teacher Mark Reed - a specialist trainer was organised to help him prepare for the event. “We also engaged a personal trainer for Meng whom we are also very thankful for his help,” said Shui Ling, Meng’s mother. “Shannon, at Mordy Personal Training, was very quick to come up with a plan to help Meng strengthen his core muscles. “Although Meng did not get a medal for the championship, he was at that time the fastest under-13 100 metre runner in Victoria. “For that, we are very proud of him.” Meng said he now wants to work on his starts off the blocks, so he doesn’t have to make up deficits in his races. He’s got the natural speed but he needs to work on the technical aspect to take that next step. From being naturally quick when he crawled as little boy to again showcasing his speed later in his childhood playing tiggy in the playground at lunchtime, it’s clear that Meng’s words aren’t empty. “I just love to run,” he said.

It makes for another DDCA flag for the Turf 1 powerhouse and while Forsyth is a Dandenong mainstay, he was thrilled to play his part for the Bloods. “I’m lucky I came from such a good club as we’ve got so many good players and so many nice people as well,” Forsyth said. “It’s fantastic to get back and play with them and give a bit back to my club.”
Rangers climb through to win A MOUNTAIN of injuries, plus fitting together as a new look squad, didn’t halt the Dandenong Rangers racing into the WNBL finals. The Rangers faced SEQ Stars on Sunday afternoon - after the Journal went to print - and the match impacted who the Rangers would face in the semi. Dandenong could face Townsville, Perth or SEQ Stars in the first final showcasing just how close the league has been this season with the minor premiership up for grabs heading into the last round. Dandenong has been boosted by the return of rising-star centre Alex Bunton who played limited minutes last week against Townsville. For the first time this season, it clears the Rangers’ injury list - giving coach Larissa Anderson plenty of options heading into the first final. The expanded 2015-16 WNBL finals will be fought out with a threematch grand final series starting on 12 March.

Thunder strikes early gold By JARROD POTTER NPL2 EAST - ROUND 1 DANDENONG Thunder came to play in its NPL2 East season-opener, rocketing to the top of the ladder with a 4-0 thumping of Nunawading City. Showcasing its star last-minute super-signing, former Socceroo and A-League defender Simon Colosimo, in the first salvo, the Thunder completely shut the door on the visitors with the emphatic all-round performance. Wasting no time starting its onslaught, the Thunder sizzled early as midfielders Kristian Sarkies and Daniel Bennett brought the forwards plenty of opportunities. Dandenong had no trouble getting clear at the front but really struggled to hammer home its first-half shots as nearly a dozen would’ve been squandered through the first 45. Dandenong had it on a string, only to hang them wide or chip simple attempts back at Nunawading City, but at least Dandenong had shots to miss. The visitors failed to muster anything potent up forward as Colosimo and Faisal Sakhizada clamped down brilliantly. While it was deadlocked at the break without a score, the two halves were chalk and cheese on the scoreboard as Dandenong roared to life mere minutes into the second stanza. It started through Amir Osmancevic (49’ and 55’) dancing around the defence as the Thunder striker thumped home the first goal of the New Year.
Dandenong Thunder’s star recruit Simon Colosimo, left, got to celebrate his first night in Picture: JARROD POTTER the Thunder stripes after a four-goal victory. 150521 Osmancevic would cap off his brace soon after, while Daniel Bennett (61’) put the third away to dial up the visitors’ pain, but the best work was saved for Osmancevic on the fourth goal only seconds later. Number 11 brought forward counterpart Veton Korcari (62’) another great opportunity as his next beguiling run down the left side badly opened up Nunawading City’s defences. A sharp assist went through the traffic, finding
Korcari unmanned at the back and able to slot a textbook goal to ice the game. With the exception of early missed opportunities, the only other thing the new-look Thunder line-up will have to figure out are the words to the club song. The fresh faces cheered on as the veterans belted out the Thunder anthem in the rooms after the final whistle to the delight of everyone at George Andrews Reserve, especially the coach.
Last lunge for local finals
Panthers take their hardest knock By JARROD POTTER VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET ROUND 16 (Day 2) SEASON’S end came a round early for Dandenong (191) following a demoralising thrashing at the hands of ladder leaders Fitzroy-Doncaster (6/382). As hard as it was to be pasted on the field, the tough times continued in the change rooms as the group took a long, hard look at itself and its approach heading into the last clash of the year. It started well enough for Dandenong as it steadily chipped away at the visitors’ top order - making inroads bit by bit as the top four departed after 131 runs. But the Panthers couldn’t find the finisher; one more wicket to expose the tail earlier than expected for the visitors. Needing one or two more strikes in the middle order to really through a cat among the pigeons, Dandenong instead was left to the devices of Lions’ middle order batsman Nat
Vardi (171no). Taking on the opposition from ball one, Vardi had a field day as he shifted the tide back in the Lions’ favour in tandem with Liam Banthorpe (38). The duo added 152 for the fifth wicket to take the points and then get some important time at the crease before finals. Vardi went to tea having reached his maiden Victorian Premier Cricket century and continued the onslaught afterwards, smashing his way past 150 to really sink the boot in as he swatted the attack around with Trent Lawford (32). Fitzroy-Doncaster batted on after 5pm, leaving more than a few people stunned at the ground, but soon came to their senses after one over from wicketkeeper David Alleyne (0/5). With frayed nerves all around Shepley Oval, the sides agreed to shake hands and leave it at a 191run deficit. Dandenong’s finale is away to Greenvale to cap off 2015/16.
“We’ve got a lot of spirit there and a great combination of both experience and youth, but we’re one unit and it’s worked well,” Thunder coach Huss Skenderovic said. “In the second half we came out ... worked on what was required and did the business.” Having put pen to paper just before the transfer deadline, Colosimo was impressed by what he saw on field as the side flourished up forward. “I thought it was excellent - you talked about the first half, second half ... all that went missing in the first half was putting them in the back of the net,” Colosimo said. “I think we made more chances in the first than we did in the second, but I think the boys created anywhere between 15 and 20 good, solid chances and in a 90 minute game of football that’s what you want.” The Thunder also presented a cheque for $3000 to the Cancer Council, raised at the preseason Qamil Rexhepi Cup named in tribute of the beloved Thunder administrator and supporter. In other results, Dandenong City drew with Murray United 1-1 and Springvale White Eagles went down to Goulburn Valley Suns 2-3. In the highly anticipated inaugural Dandenong derby, Thunder will battle City away on Saturday afternoon for a chance to win the Jim Memeti Cup.

DDCA - ROUND 10 (Day 2) THE race to the DDCA finals finishing-line is still going as Heinz Southern Districts and Mordialloc are set to fight for the last spot. Taking maximum points, Buckley Ridges (2/169dec and 2/138) tore through North Dandenong (131 and 172). Buckley’s fourth-innings run chase was on. The side needed to slap about 140 in the dying overs after a well measured response from the Northerners on day two set the scene. Jayson Hobbs (54) and Troy Aust (48) went ballistic to get the side all 10 points. Lyndale (69 and 86) suffered at the hands of Hallam Kolora Park (153), continuing the tough trot towards Turf 2 with another outright defeat. Ben Montgomery (30no) was gallant in the second innings, holding out despite the Hawks’ best efforts. With Mordialloc and Heinz winning though, and only one-dayer left in the season though, the Hawks and Ridges respectively have bowed out of the finals hunt. Springvale South (212) did its best to halt Heinz Southern Districts (7/256), but fell short in the end after Michael Davies (5/66) went on the warpath. Davies picked up his third five-for of the season to leave
Berwick (7/212dec) left scant regard for Parkfield (148 and 0/58) as the visitors hunted down the par target comfortably. Berwick’s middle order stood tall as usual with Ryan Crawford (49no) leading the way, while Jarrod Goodes (37), Josh Holden (36) and Nathan Pilon (23) all contributed down the order. Dandenong West (184) did its best to hunt down Narre Warren (9/240dec), but in the end the Magpies flew too high for the Bulls to smash apart. Sam Bracey (71) continued his stellar season with another half-ton, but in the end the Bulls couldn’t generate a match-winning stand as Chris Edwards (4/33), among others, ran riot. In VSDCA results, Noble Park (9/230) has the faintest pulse in the finals race after its victory over ladder-leading Mount Waverley (156). The Bulls ran riot on day two, knocking over the top dogs with Andrew Berman (5/41) in particular impressing. Noble Park will need to take an outright victory to eke its way into finals as it remains in a four-way deadlock with Kew, Preston and Coburg fighting for the final spot, currently held by Balwyn.

New Stingrays show form PUSHING an extended squad through the wringer, Dandenong Stingrays started refining the list across three TAC Cup practice matches against Sandringham on Sunday. The aim wasn’t to win, or to even get a great sense of game-style of the new-look squad. It was about the players making an impression and holding their own at the next level. Throughout the Under-16, Under-17 and senior matches some shone and others receded into the background as the Stingrays began the hard process of trimming their 80-strong list. “We just put kids in positions we want to see them playing. We don’t care if we have five or six key forwards or bad match-ups, we just wanted to give the young boys a chance,” Stingrays coach Craig Black said. “I think we’ve got some good depth, but you always look at the players that you’re missing you look at last year and think ‘we don’t have a Kieran Collins or a Jacob Weitering’, and we had the same thing two years ago with no Kyle Gray or Mitch White.” Roaming defensively in the senior clash, the coach was pleased to not only see Reece Piper (Berwick) out on the footy field - considering the spinal injury he suffered in his TAC Cup debut last year - but also having a great impact on the last line of defence. Piper played the link-up defender role to a tee and took some of the kicking-in duties to add another string to the midfielder’s bow. Others to impress were key position players Tom Murphy, Mason de Wit and Jack Doman, while draft prospect Liam McKay was exceptional through the midfield from limited time-onground. “Liam just showed the advantages of playing games as a 17-year-old in his second pre-season,” Black said. Dandenong’s TAC Cup season opener is its traditional clash against Gippsland, on 26 March at Morwell.

A NEW football development academy based out of Berwick is set to become an absolute game-changer in the south-east. Spearheaded by two of the best known figures in local football Aussie Jones and Travis Marsham the South East Elite Pathways Academy (SEEPA) will offer an elite development program for the 2016 season onwards and is open to every age bracket from the under-10s through to the under-17s. It specifically focuses on the development of local talent and takes a personal approach through its coaching with an aim to improving the quality of the sport in the region. Former St Kilda gun Aussie Jones is heading up the academy. After playing more than 220 AFL
games, Jones has since gone on to hold a number of key roles in senior local, and elite junior footy. His great mate Marsham, who most recently took Cora Lynn to the 2014 and 2015 senior premierships in the Ellinbank and District Football League (EDFL), also forms part of a massive coaching panel that includes the likes of former Richmond skipper Chris Newman, Collingwood legend Peter Daicos, former St Kilda big man Justin Koschitzke, AFL great Stan Alves, Frankston VFL coach Patrick Hill, former West Coast and Collingwood player Andrew Williams, and local footy icons Jock Holland, Ricky Clark, Brett Evans and Steven Kidd. “We won’t have an official link with TAC Cup sides but if I was coaching in TAC I’d be pushing my 13 or 14-year-old kids to do it

Travis Marsham and Aussie Jones. 150287 - even the 15 and 16-year-olds who might’ve missed out on their schoolboy squads,” Jones said. “If you’re the Stingrays and you have 10 kids who miss out in the 15s, but they come through an elite program like this and go back a better player, all it means is that their under-16 squad is going to be deeper and stronger.” In addition to programs tailored
to their own football needs, players involved will also get nutritional information, career guidance and social media education. Local coaches will also be mentored. “I reckon our footy that we produce in this area is so underrated massively so,” Jones said. “We want to make sure the development of the kids is going to make it as strong as it should be in three, five, or 10 years’ time."

MOTORING Stylish roadster classic By EWAN KENNEDY FOR the first time in Australia the brilliant little Mazda MX-5 is offered with two different engines. That’s chiefly to permit the importer to have a price leader (at $31,990) to tackle the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86. However, some drivers relish using their driving skills to get the best from small engines so the 1.5 has been selling well. A few weeks back we tested an MX-5 with the 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces a relatively modest 96 kW and 150 Nm. Now we have just spent a very enjoyable week in the 2.0-litre MX-5. It has a pretty respectable 118 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque. Our test car was a Roadster GT 2.0 with a sixspeed manual gearbox. The 2.0-litre has a starting price of $34,490 and comes with 17-inch alloys, Mazda’s MZD Connect system and LED daylight running lamps as standard. While the second and third generations (1997 and 2005) were evolutions of the original 1989 NA series, the genfour designers have given us a modern shape based on the ‘Kodo’ design as seen in the rest of the Mazda range. To our eyes the rear is rather generic, following the current global theme of round units tapering outwards into slim horizontal areas.
Brilliant Mazda MX-5 roadster has neat new look. The MX-5 comes as a Roadster and an upmarket Roadster GT. The GT stands out visually in that the body colour continues over onto the tops of the doors into the cabin. It has black door-mirror housings. Automatic lights and wipers, climate control on the air conditioning, and keyless entry and start are standard in the GT. A 7.0-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation, internet radio, Mazda’s MZD Connect infotainment system has a 7.0-inch touchscreen and is operated by a Commander Control be-
tween the seats. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine used in the MX-5 we reviewed has 118 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque. Six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions are offered. Paddles behind the wheel of the auto do provide sort-of manual driving, but it’s not the same thing. Give us the manual any day. The MX-5 received five stars for passive safety, but only a four-star rating in safety assist. A spokesperson for Mazda
Australia points out that “there has never been a sports car that has received a five star rating in the past”. Again in the interests of chassis balance the seats are lower than before. Getting in and out will be a challenge if your body has a few extra years on the clock, or your belly has gained some extra inches. Try before you buy… Once settled into the low seats you will find they provide good support without being overly aggressive in their side bolsters. Having 33 per cent more displacement than the 1.5 engine instantly endeared us to the MX-5 2.0. And ‘instantly’ is the right word to describe this sports powerplant - because the moment you hit the pedal on the right you get instant action. Sure, turbocharged hot hatches produce even more oomph than a naturally aspirated unit like the Mazda but not un-
til the irritating lag has finally let you get the power you demanded seemingly an age back. Even better, the little Mazda roadster sounds great as there’s no turbo to muffle the exhaust note. A little more volume would be appreciated, but there are tough regulations about this sort of thing. Keep the engine in the 4000 to 6000 range - it’s happy to get up to 7000 - on your favourite stretch of winding mountain road and your smile will grow by the minute. The six-speed manual gearshift has short throws, is ultra smooth and is perhaps even better than in previous MX5s. Brilliant. Operation of the soft-top roof is ultra simple. Undo a single catch in the centre of the windscreen header, fold the roof back and it clips down into the open position.
