A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Hilton first among equals ❚ By CASEY NEILL HILTON Manufacturing was the people’s choice for this year’s Premier Regional Business Award. “This is a huge surprise,” managing director Todd Hartley said. “We’re so fortunate to have set up a manufacturing site in this region.” The Dandenong South company and 11 other previous winners were profiled throughout the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce gala dinner at Sandown Greyhounds in Springvale on Wednesday 13 April. Guests ranked each business out of five using their mobile phones and a real-time online voting system. Hilton Manufacturing, Jayco, SteriHealth and HM GEM Engines received the most votes and spruiked their worthiness for the honour. “I feel like we need a violin playing in the background,” Mr Hartley said. “We’re a family business that started in Hilton Street, Dandenong. “We’re proud to see trucks and buses and caravans going past with our products on them. “We just love manufacturing.” Another crowd vote then selected Hilton as the night’s big winner. Mr Hartley’s dad Tom started the company in 1976. By 2006 it had expanded to 125 staff and took home the Premier Regional Business Award. Since then its staff has more than doubled to 230 and its turnover has grown two and a half times. “So solid profits?” MC Jamie Sturgess asked. Mr Hartley laughed and quickly replied:

“

WE’RE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE SET UP A MANUFACTURING SITE IN THIS REGION…

“There are customers in the room, so reasonable profits.” He said most of Hilton’s suppliers and customers were in the region and that had helped the company to grow. “We’ve got a long way to go,” he said. “We want to go through 20 per cent growth over the next three years.” Mr Hartley said Hilton had invested heavily in systems, equipment and people during tough times. It has a manufacturing plant in Queensland and has now been supplying the Japanese truck market for just over 20 years. Hilton is a preferred supplier to the truck, bus, caravan, defence, healthcare and traffic management industries. It harnessed skills developed for the local truck industry to gain export orders to Tata/ Daewoo in Korea; Hino, Nissan and Isuzu in Japan; Scania in Sweden; and Westport in Canada. The company recently launched IT project Hilton Digital and appointed an external CEO. “We needed some external expert and qualified people to take us to the next level,” Mr Hartley said.

Awards show off its pool of talent ❚ By CASEY NEILL ASTRALPOOL was the first of the 12 nominees showcased at the 25th Premier Regional Business Awards. The Noble Park-based company took home an award from the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce in 2002. The packed function room at Sandown Greyhounds on Wednesday 13 April heard that the pool maintenance business would move into an energy-efficient, purpose-built factory in Keysborough in June. It’s grown from 100 employees to 270 and $20 million revenue to more than $100 million. Managing director Peter Wallace said product development was an important part of the business. “We’ve started developing six to 10 products a year,” he said. MC Jamie Sturgess said the past four trains Bombardier Transportation produced in Dandenong contained at least 60 per cent local content – and up to 68 per cent. “I think 60 per cent is good,” managing director Rene Lalande said. “What we need is more trains at that level.” Mr Lalande said the company had 629 supply chain partners in Greater Dandenong and surrounds. “Those relationships make our trains better,” he said. Fantech won the 2009 Premier Regional Business Award and that year’s Employment Award, and was an inductee into The Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame in 2012. Marketing director Paul de Bruin said “in very simple terms we do make fans” but that electronically controlling ventilation and air quality was the company’s focus. Dandenong-based Patterson Cheney celebrated its 100th birthday last year. The car and truck supplier and servicer employs 580 people, has

a $600 million annual turnover and services up to 700 cars each day. Mr Sturgess described Entapack’s liquid packaging products as “like an oversized wine cask”. The business started in Dandenong in 1986 as a familyowned operation and in July 2006, Vincent Papaluca sold the business to Sealed Air. It’s one of the only bag manufacturers in the world certified to Japan dairy standards. “Our biggest overseas market is Japan,” Entapack’s Chris Thorpe explained. Sealite CEO Chris Proctor’s father was an electronics hobbyist who took inspiration from lights at a Beaumaris aquaculture farm. He told the farmer he could design a better product and spent the next 15 years making them in a shed. Sealite has been manufacturing marine aids since 1982, has expanded into Avlite aviation systems, and services armed forces and humanitarian aid operators. Dandenong’s SRX Global helps people to commercialise, manufacture and fund products. “We’re creating business where business wouldn’t exist,” managing director Jeff Malone said. It’s the Australian market leader in electronics and full product build contract manufacturing, as well as service and repair. There wouldn’t be many companies with a 77-year corporate plan – but Tycab has just that. “We’re going to be here for a very long time,” director David McNeil said. Tycab manufacturers oxygenfree and tinned copper electrical cable products. The late Sir William Tyree founded the company 30 years ago. He had a passion for education and ensured that half of the company’s profits would go to supporting university studies.

A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Sharp voting from guest judges ❚ By CASEY NEILL DANIELS, HM GEM Engines and Jayco made the top four in the guest-voted Premier Regional Business Award. Hilton Manufacturing took out the top prize at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce event on Wednesday 13 April. Entrepreneur Dan Daniels founded Daniels Health, more commonly known as SteriHealth, in 1986 during the HIV epidemic. Health providers were destroying sharps containers along with the needles inside and Mr Daniels thought this was a real waste. He and microbiologist Alan Perceval forged a partnership that led to the company’s flagship Sharpsmart system. Since their introduction to Australia in 2000, Sharspsmarts have saved an estimated 20,000 healthcare workers from sustaining a sharps injury. SteriHealth employs 350 people in Australia, including 155 in Dandenong, and is the number two company in the sector in the US. “The Australians are really taking it up to the big King Kongs over there,” manager Caleb McGuire said. The business also has a strong foothold in the UK and New Zealand, with Argentina and Malaysia likely to be future markets.

Caleb McGuire tells Jamie Sturgess about Daniels. 152843 Pictures: ROB CAREW

“We’re getting calls from Asia to go there,” Mr McGuire said. MC Jamie Sturgess asked: “In five years’ time, you’re on Mars, solving needle stick problems there?” Dandenong-based family company HM GEM Engines started in a small garage in 1969 and now has 14 branches throughout Australia’s east coast. Ten years ago, passenger car engine re-manufacturing generated 85 per cent of its business. “We could see that engine

more than 10 years’ service. The company has 14 apprentices under training and has taken on about 460 over the years. It has also employed more than 350 people with disabilities. Jayco pays a $65 million wages bill each year to 1000 employees making it the largest private employer in the region by a considerable way. CEO Carl Bizon said he relished “injecting spending power into people’s lives”.

re-manufacturing was going to be a sunset industry,” managing director Bruce Parker said. The remaining 15 per cent was in specialist machining. “We thought there was going to be growth in that,” he said. The ratio today is 25 per cent exchange engines and cylinder heads and 75 per cent specialist engine component servicing/ machining. HM GEM Engines currently employs 106 people, 26 who have more than 20 years’ service, four with 15 years-plus and 19 with

Under founder Gerry Ryan, Jayco developed its first prototype product in the winter of 1975 and production started in January 1976. Today the company is an iconic Australian brand, with 49 per cent share in the RV market. It opened a purpose-built 60,000 square metre manufacturing complex on a 50-hectare site at 1 Jayco Drive, Dandenong, in 2007. It is the largest RV manufacturing complex in the southern hemisphere.

Winners’ drive to strive ❚ By CASEY NEILL KEYSBOROUGH’S Juwita Jouhari wants to stand beside, encourage and support the community’s most vulnerable people. The 19-year-old is studying a diploma of community services at Chisholm Institute and took home the Youth Enterprise Award for her efforts at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Premier Regional Business Awards on 13 April. MC James Sturgess said the award was one of his favourites. “It inspires the youth of this region to achieve,” he said. Juwita has set her sights on a career tackling child abuse and youth homelessness.

“

I REALISED THAT THE MORE I PUSH MYSELF, THE MORE I GROW AS A PERSON… Juwita Jouhari

Accepting the award, she thanked her mum and grandma and her Chisholm teachers. “Without them I wouldn’t have known how much to push myself,” she said. When receiving her nomination last year, Juwita said she’d always struggled with education. “I was always that student in the corner,” she said. “But I realised that the more I push myself, the more I grow as a person. “I’ve always wanted to work with people who are most vulnerable.” In five years she hopes to have finished her current diploma plus a case management or community development diploma. Fellow Keysborough resident Courtney Pastean and Narre Warren’s Tom Cunningham were also finalists for the Youth Enterprise Award. Courtney has won outstanding student awards for her beauty coursework at Chisholm Institute in Dandenong. Mr Sturgess asked her: “How the hell do you win the student of the year award?” “I don’t know,” she replied. “Ask my teacher. I was really shocked.” Accepting her nomination, the 17-yearold recalled getting into her mum’s makeup bag to play dress-ups and feeling empowered by the result. Courtney wants to help others feel the same way and dreams of running a free service for people feeling self-conscious about their appearance due to illness and accidents.

“I want to bring empowerment back to people,” she said. She’s going to America in two months to “experience life” before returning to studies at Chisholm in 2017. She plans to check out the US beauty industry during the trip. Tom started computer systems engineering studies at Chisholm in 2013 and has a grade point average of 90 per cent.

“How the hell do you do that?” Mr Sturgess asked. Tom replied: “Just lots of study and effort putting in the hours that you need.” He said that hands-on time with his teachers had helped a lot. The 22-year-old has landed a job at JB Hi-Fi thanks to his studies. “They’ve got an education department. They put their employees into school for

tech support,” he said. “My study really put me forward for that sort of role.” Tom said there were endless opportunities in information and communications technology (ICT) across various job sectors, from health to engineering and finance. “I want to gain as much job experience as I can and make a good name for myself,” he said.

A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Bruce Parker enters the Hall of Fame. 152843 Pictures: ROB CAREW

Speechless after surprise ❚ By CASEY NEILL “WE ARE all indebted to you for your hard work and give you great thanks.” These words from Jayco founder Gerry Ryan and a few from SEBN manager Sandra George rendered Premier Regional Business Awards chairman Jamie Sturgess speechless. He and HM GEM Engines’ Bruce Parker were inducted to the Greater Dandenong Hall of Fame at a gala dinner to celebrate the Premier Regional Business Awards’ 25th and final year at Sandown Greyhounds in Springvale on Wednesday 13 April. “I’ll blame Sandra because she was game enough to come up on stage,” Mr Sturgess said, struggling to regain his composure. Ms George read a message on Mr Ryan’s behalf, telling Jamie that the honour was welldeserved. “It’s not very often one gets to take the microphone off Jamie Sturgess,” she joked. “Your intelligence, drive and passionate promotion of Dandenong has made this great city a desirable place for businesses to operate and thrive.” Mr Sturgess and Mr Parker and joined previous inductees Ms George, Mr Ryan, Ken Grenda, Jill Walsh and Ron Rado. The lawyer is passionate about seeing Greater Dandenong and its surrounds grow and prosper.

James Sturgess addresses the packed function room. 152843 He’s a past president and life member of the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce, Committee for Dandenong chairman, has played a key role in the Premier Regional Business Awards since their inception, and is a South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) board member. Mr Parker was also stunned to receive the honour. He said his business HM GEM Engines was in the premier region of the best country in the world and thanked SEMMA, SEBN and the City of Greater Dandenong for support.

“We’re unique and of that there’s absolutely no doubt,” he said. “I feel particularly fortunate in that the people sitting on table 26, I believe, are the best team in the business and the best team in our industry.” Mr Parker proudly told the packed room that he’d recently, for the first time, appointed a general manager that had started with the company as an apprentice. He, too, started his automotive industry career as an apprentice with Preston Motors in 1960.

Sustainable Air Management Solutions

In 1969 he started Headmod in a garage behind his parents’ East Doncaster home. Rapid business growth forced a move to Doncaster shortly after, and then to a 65,000 square-foot facility on a four acre site in Dandenong South in 1989. Mr Parker guided the company through expansion and acquisitions, including the 1998 merger with New South Wales company Gem Engines and acquiring 12 Repco regional engineering machine shops across Australia. The company was awarded

Melbourne Convention Centre

the Prime Minister’s Employer of the Year Award four times, Engine Re-builder of the Year three times, the Victorian State Premier’s Regional Award for Manufacturing, and more. Mr Parker has prioritised vacancies not requiring trade qualifications for people with disabilities, and for more than 15 years has supported Victoria Police initiative Hand Brake Turn, helping troubled youths. The Singaporean government and USA equipment giant Caterpillar both sought his expertise for major projects. With a fellow ex-commando, Mr Parker founded the Commando Welfare Trust to provide Christmas gifts and high levels of education, school requirements, uniforms and more for dependent children of commandos who were killed in action or training, or were badly injured while serving their country. He’s been an active Rotarian for many years and was directly involved in the Rotary International 1999 East TimorAustralian Government initiative to retrain Falintil guerrillas. The Parker family has also founded the Michael Parker Foundation to provide education for underprivileged children in Australia, East Timor and Nepal. This foundation, in memory of Mr Parker’s son, recently completed the first stage of a dormitory in Nepal for girls attending school from remote areas.

MC praises region’s pride � By CASEY NEILL BROADCASTER Libbi Gorr was “impressed and delighted� with what she saw at the Premier Regional Business Awards gala dinner. She was MC at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce event at Sandown Greyhounds on Wednesday 13 April. “I do get dunked in other people’s worlds from time to time,� Gorr said. “It does inform me so that I can contribute in a more informed way. “I’ve been here, I’ve seen it and I understand it.� She said the range of items manufactured and produced in the region was “astounding� and applauded “how proud you all are�. She said business was about the integrity of relationships and she got the 400-strong audience giggling by asking them to join hands around their tables and repeat female-focused mantras. Gorr finished with a poem referencing comments from the night and praise for the businesses, including “you take your products to the world, touching lives here and beyond�. Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce president Paul Broom

described the event as the awards program’s “grand final� and welcomed back previous winners. “Tonight is a celebration of excellence,� he said. “It’s great to have you back for our very special night.� Awards chairman and co-MC Jamie Sturgess said the region’s businesses had momentum. “We need to keep on moving this snowball harder and faster,� he said.

A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Call goes out for Doveton ❚ By CASEY NEILL “PLACES like Doveton were prosperous, which means they can be again.” This was the message from guest speaker Dennis Glover at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Premier Regional Business Awards at Sandown Greyhounds in Springvale on 12 April. The professional speechwriter and author urged guests to get behind The Doveton Project – a push to tackle unemployment in the suburb, which is more than three times the national average at 12 per cent. Dr Glover grew up in the suburb and said that General Motors, International Harvester and Heinz provided 7500 jobs during his childhood. Doveton is home to 2500 houses so that was three and a half jobs per household. He said Doveton’s unemployment rate of one per cent for much of its history, but had skyrocketed in the wake of the big three departing during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Dr Glover returned to Doveton to write a book and found broken streets, low expectations for educational achievements and stories about drugs and crime. He urged guests at the gala to “help an area the economy has let down”.

“

BUT IT SEEMS THAT DOVETON HAS NOT SECURED ITS ‘FAIR SHARE’ OF THOSE JOBS… Dennis Glover

Dr Dennis Glover. 152843 Picture: ROB CAREW “We can find jobs,” he said. “I think we can find places for them if we really try. “We have to try.” MC Jamie Sturgess asked

guests to electronically register their interest in supporting The Doveton Project and received more than 100 responses. “You’re saying ‘I care and I want

to get involved if I possibly can’,” he said. “If some of the people in this room employed some of the people in that Doveton area ...”

Mr Sturgess said manufacturing jobs in the region had stayed relatively constant. “But it seems that Doveton has not secured its ‘fair share’ of those jobs,” he said. “Doveton’s plight needs to be a focus – the key is finding appropriate jobs for the people of Doveton. “The answer lies in investing in human capital – your commitment to creating jobs, giving the Doveton people more security and building a thriving working class community.” Part of The Doveton Project push is a SEBN industry breakfast scheduled for Tuesday 3 May. The Tap into the Talent event at Highways in Springvale will feature businessman, philanthropist and 2011 Australian of the Year Simon McKeon. The Dandenong-raised chairman of AMP Limited and Monash University chancellor will speak about how business and philanthropy go hand in hand and how the approach benefits all. Bombardier Transportation managing director Rene Lalande will speak about government tenders and the employment responsibilities that are now an integral part of submission criteria. A renewed focus on local and diverse employment directly impacts the success of tenderers like Bombardier. Visit www.greaterdandenong. com to get involved.

2015 Impressed by the vision ❚ By CASEY NEILL THE 25th Premier Regional Business Awards Gala dinner was “a very special end to a very special idea that started in 1990 in a boardroom in Dandenong”. Awards chairman Jamie Sturgess is also Macpherson Kelley’s Victorian managing principal, Committee for Dandenong board member and a Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce life member. As a young lawyer he was invited into a boardroom meeting with Central Dandenong Rotary Club members John Woods from The Journal, Stephen Giles from M+K, John Marsh from Destination Travel, Hans Rubens from Successories and Ian McDonald from the City of Dandenong. “What I was doing there, or what my role was, was a complete mystery to me,” he said. “That was back in 1990 when I was a young man in my mid to late 20s and I certainly came away from the meeting incredibly impressed with the ideas, the vision and the concepts that had been discussed. “I had no idea as I left that

meeting that I would be given the pleasure of being integrally involved with the Premier Regional Business Awards on an intimate basis for most of the next 25 years.” Australia was going through the “recession it had to have” and the Dandenong community leaders decided to do something about the national climate at a grass roots level. “The vision was to have an awards program that highlighted the best businesses in the region, create positive stories through newspaper articles and to celebrate – on an annual basis – with a gala dinner that brought all of the nominees together to revel in the achievements of the year,” Mr Sturgess said. He said that more than 6000 people had been involved in the awards over the years. “It is about sharing the success of the businesses that have achieved so much and inspiring others to strive for the same success and reflect on their own businesses and the success of others to create success for themselves,” he said.

2015 New awards to promote city

A PRESENTATION OF THE GREATER DANDENONG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

❚ By CASEY NEILL A NEW awards program will recognise and support Greater Dandenong businesses. The Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce will introduce the Greater Dandenong Chamber Business Awards in coming weeks. Chamber president Paul Broom said the program would replace the chamber’s Premier Regional Business Awards, which celebrated its 25th and final year at a gala dinner at Sandown Greyhounds in Springvale on Wednesday 13 April. “It was a great night with 400 people there representing local businesses,” Mr Broom said. “That’s a fantastic turnout for a grand gala night. “That level of support is fantastic and we look forward to it being reflected in additional membership of the chamber. “The stronger we get, the stronger local businesses are as a group.” Mr Broom said he hoped the new awards would help to bolster chamber membership. “We’re a soft entry for an organisation,” he said. “We charge a couple of hundred dollars a year. “We do provide terrific value and a great identity.” The chamber will hold its first

Greater Dandenong Chamber Business Awards breakfast in the coming weeks. “One of the big changes is that we’ll be rebranding. We’ll be focusing on Greater Dandenong as opposed to regional,” Mr Broom said. Each breakfast will feature nominated local businesses and a final award presentation will take place at the end of the year. “We’ll run the awards process within a calendar year,” Mr Broom said. The chamber has worked closely with the now-closed Dandenong Retail Traders Association (DRTA) to incorporate its former retail award into its new program. A public vote will select retailers to be nominated for the award and to be profiled at a breakfast. The Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce has been part of the Greater Dandenong business community for more than 65 years. Its vision is to promote regional growth through leadership, support programs, networking and civic involvement.

team, Scanlan admits the announcement is only the start of the hard work and it will only get tougher from here. For the Commonwealth Games gold medallist – earning her accolades at both Delhi 2010 and Glasgow 2014 – she can look back without regret about 2012.

go through the wringer just to make the team. She endured a brutal end to her Olympic Games shotgun shooting qualifying but she pushed through the pain to book her ticket to Rio. “I’ve been really ramping up my fitness and from that I got a niggling back injury, then my best friend was getting married and we did a surprise hen’s party in Bali and on the way back from Bali I was in a car crash,” Scanlan said. “I got severe whiplash and I think I had nine or 10 days before my last Olympic trial – so I couldn’t train in that time because I couldn’t move my neck left or right. “I didn’t do as well as I hoped but, obviously, it was enough to get me over the line and I think my past performances in the last 12 months did help the selection panel see who was the best medal chance for Rio.” While she’s thrilled to make the

APRIL has been a red-letter month for City of Casey athletes as three locals earned their Olympic Games debuts alongside a long-serving champion. Joshua Beaver, Laetisha Scanlan and Jason Whateley have made their maiden Olympic campaigns across swimming, shooting and boxing. From Tooradin all the way to Rio de Janeiro, backstroke swimmer Beaver touched the pool-wall on Tuesday night, 12 April, and changed his life forever. Beaver, 23, from Tooradin took to the water this week for his best chance at the 2016 Hancock Prospecting Australian Championships – the 200m backstroke. More than 10 years of hard work in the pool boiled down to one race at the South Australia Aquatic and Leisure Centre as Beaver rested his hopes of qualifying for the Rio Olympic Games on his pet event. Needing a first or second place finish and to beat the Olympic Games A qualifying time of 1.57.12 to re-join the Australian team for another international campaign, Beaver did more than enough to qualify. He touched in at 1.56.17 to clinch his spot on the Australian Dolphins Swimming Team and add an Olympic Games campaign to his swimming resume. After just missing out on a spot at the 2012 London Olympic Games team, Beaver couldn’t believe just how quickly it all happened as he became an Olympian in the blink of an eye. “To be honest with you, I don’t even know what was going on,” Beaver said. “I finished and looked up at the times – was 1.56.1 and it was my best and I knew it was enough and it all just sort of clicked. “It all clicked in a moment of a second that, wow, I’m going to the Olympics.” Scanlan, 25 from, Berwick, had to

Whack for illegal chop, but backer in the clear By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A FUTURE land developer has been unable to be linked to the illegal destruction of 53 native trees on the former Doveton College site. During the large-scale felling in April, mature and healthy gum trees were cut down to stumps. A tree lopper recently pleaded guilty in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court, copping a $5000 fine without conviction – and ordered to pay Casey Council’s costs. In a Casey Council statement, the magistrate was described as “outraged on behalf of the community” by the act. The developer, whose identity has not been disclosed by Casey Council, bought the 58,000 square-metre site for $10.6 million in May 2014. Casey planning manager

One of 53 native trees illegaly cleared on the former Doveton Picture: STEWART Secondary College site last year. 138744 CHAMBERS Duncan Turner said the landowner – the state education department - stated they didn’t consent to the works. “Further, there was no evi-

dence available to link the future land developer directly with the lopping works. “Council will be considering offset planting obligations for

the loss of the trees as part of the future site development approval.” Councillor Wayne Smith said the clearing was “disappointing”, depriving the council of a say in which of the native trees should be kept in the future housing development. He said the developer could potentially further profit from the cleared space. The act undermined the council’s native vegetation controls requiring a permit to legally remove trees. The vandalism also undermined the council’s specific regulations for the site that developments must incorporate any significant native vegetation in the design. It must maintain the “longterm, sustainable health and condition of existing vegetation” and avoid the dripline of any retained

river red gum trees, the regulations state. At the time of the prosecution, mayor Sam Aziz said the prosecution gave a “serious reminder” to industry professionals and developers to check with the council before clearing trees. “With a growing population, trees provide a very important habitat, wildlife corridor and visual amenity aspect in Casey. “Illegal vegetation removal will not be tolerated and the council will take enforcement action when there is a clear breach of the planning regulations.” Prior to its sale, the former campus was promoted as a residential development opportunity with four street frontages, adjoining parkland and a nearby golfcourse. It has been earmarked for medium-density housing by the council.

Mosque’s goodwill gift goes a long way By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE leaders of the mosque on BelgraveHallam Road have donated $5000 to the Royal Children’s Hospital. Mohammed Janif, a member of the Islamic Education and Welfare Association of Dandenong (IEWAD), said the IEWAD mosque at 131-133 Belgrave-Hallam Road in Narre Warren North, had been involved in “charity work ever since we opened the doors,” about six years ago. Mr Janif said he and the other members of the mosque wanted to share their goodwill with the public in the wake of recent events. Last month, hundreds of people packed the Narre Warren North Public Hall for a community meeting to discuss the controversial application for another mosque at 365-367 Belgrave-Hallam Road. It has been lodged by the Saarban Islamic Trust – not IEWAD – and Mr Janif stressed his mosque had nothing to do with the current application. Mr Janif said his mosque’s donation to the Royal Children’s Hospital was a way of portraying to people that the members are “part of the community”. “We live here, our children go to the hospital – why not help these people out?” he said. “This is my home.” As well as donating to the hospital, Mr Janif said the IEWAD mosque members had participated in a range of volunteering

Mr Janif also welcomed people to visit his mosque to meet with its members if they wanted to learn more about how the organisation gives back to the community.

“We welcome anyone,” he said. “They can have a cup of coffee with me and we’ll have a bit of a chinwag.” In recent weeks, a Facebook page trying to stop the new mosque being built at 365-367 Belgrave-Hallam Road in Narre Warren North has been set up, collecting 9852 likes to date, with a planning appli-

cation to build the ‘place of worship’ currently before Casey Council. The application, which includes plans for a school, is scheduled to be discussed at a Special Council Meeting on 26 April. The Saarban Islamic Trust has since set up a rival petition at change.org which has 2118 supporters to date.

Two men hunted after raids POLICE are hunting two men who robbed a Eumemmerring petrol station last week and threatened the attendant with a knife and an axe. The frightening incident occurred just before 3am on Friday 8 April when the intruders forced open the front glass door at the Princes Highway store, after throwing a brick at it. They threatened the employee and demanded cash and cigarettes. Once the attendant handed over the items, the men fled towards Doveton Avenue. Police believe the same men robbed another petrol station in Murrumbeena, on North Road, an hour earlier that night. At this store, the pair threw a brick through the glass door and threatened staff with an axe and a meat cleaver just after 2am. It’s understood the intruders forced their way behind the counter and stole cash before fleeing. The same people are thought to be involved in an attempted armed robbery at a petrol station on Belgrave-Hallam Road in Hallam on Wednesday 6 April just after 1am. In this incident, they tried to gain access to an internal door but fled the scene empty-handed. Police have released CTTV images of the men in the hope they can be identified. Anyone with information about the armed robbery is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or visit www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Horseback Bobbies towered above us 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. POLICEMEN still dressed in the oldstyle London Bobby uniforms and either walked or rode old black pushbikes. The word police, written in a metal stencil, was fixed beneath the bar of the bike. In wet weather they wore long black oilskin overcoats, a forerunner of today’s Driza-Bone type of overcoat, topped with a large shoulder cape, and high top shiny black helmets. All being big men, they were to us kids an awe inspiring sight, not unlike Star Wars’ Darth Vader, and with their commanding voices, they had that same presence. They were all friends of mum and dad and when we saw them in the street they greeted each of us with, “G’day young Johnson”.

JACK LOOKS

BACK JACK JOHNSON

The Dandenong Police Station had stables and a loft because at that time mounted constables still rode horses. They did not have many motorbikes until after the war. The horses were kept in the stables or in and around the police house and jail. Or they were kept in the paddock that went from Langhorne Street, down Wilson and around the corner into Pultney Street. When we were kids the Pultney Street ends of both Wilson and Power streets were not yet used as roads and

both were still large disused clay pits. When we walked down the banks of the Wilson Street clay pit and looked through the post and wire fence into the paddock where the police horses were kept, we admired the horse of the last mounted policeman in Dandenong. It was a fine chestnut thoroughbred. We watched the smartly uniformed officer ride out to the surrounding districts and stood in awe as the horse buck-jumped around the paddock after being let out of the stables. There was a huge poplar tree in the Wilson/Pultney Street corner of this paddock and one day when we were coming home through the park we got caught in a sudden, violent storm. We sheltered under one of the giant oak trees in the park. We got the bejeebers frightened out

of us when a bolt of lightning exploded this poplar tree from top to bottom. My brother Nipper was standing on the side of the tree closest to the lightning and said it bloody near blinded him. A bit later on we had our first ride on a full-sized horse when we rode bareback round that paddock on a magnificent jet black thoroughbred mare. She had been retired after motorbikes replaced those magnificent horses. At the Pultney Street end of Wilson Street was the Dandenong Park which was first fenced in 1860. The gates were added to the park in 1876 to create an entrance in the picket fence, on the angled corner where Foster Street met the Princes Highway. When we were small kids, the park

was fully fenced and we entered from Pultney Street through a wooden turnstile gate opposite the clay pit at the end of Wilson Street. We walked along the gravel path through the centre of the park until it angled left across the bridge over the open brick drain and led to the heavy wooden front gate on the Foster Street and Highway corner. The gate had cross braces and pickets that matched the fence and huge cast-iron and wire spring closers, to keep wandering livestock out. It was so heavy it took a great effort from us to even open it and many times, if we were slow getting through it, we got whacked as it swung shut. My brother Nipper reckoned it was the biggest bastard of a gate in town.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 13 April 1916 Red Cross Dispute Sir, many of us are not directly concerned in Cr Pearson’s abuse of our much-respected Dr Langley, but we are entitled to resent his insult to the public generally. Surely no one will be fooled by his wretched attempt to make a class distinction, thinking that he would gain sympathy and support. He describes the devoted Red Cross Committee as a clique of the AWN League and the Church of England. (I know that his wife is a member of both). But why pay such a compliment to those two bodies and by so doing insult the many workers of other churches and political bodies, for most certainly no church or political body has any monopoly of this good work.

50 years ago 12 April 1966 New library will be ‘Out of Touch’ It is recreated by all serious-minded citizens that for financial reasons, the Dandenong City Council finds itself unable to proceed with the setting up of adequate library facilities befitting a city of this size and prosperity. It would also seem that they are perfectly happy with the present inadequate, understaffed, badly-organized Mechanics’ Institute Library. Works of reference so essential to the student performing several hours’ homework or projects each night are virtually non-existent. Does this mean that to achieve any degree of success in their studies, special after-school sessions will have to be laid on so that they can use their own school library? There is now a very real danger that even if we get our new library it could be “Out of Touch”

with the needs of the citizens. 20 years ago 22 April1996 Asian Links to Job Hope Greater Dandenong could be in for a muchneeded jobs boost following a successful trade mission in Vietnam. Trade delegates returned for Vietnam last week armed with new overseas contacts and knowledge that will help them tap the lucrative market. The delegation led by City of Greater Dandenong officials included representatives for the Springvale Asian Business Association, local companies, Casey Institute of TAFE and the manufacturing arm of Grenda’s Buses. Delegation leader Greater Dandenong commissioner Mr John Nixon said the delegation had made important new contacts in business and government.

He said its program was organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Vietnam and involved factory tours and meetings with trade officials in Ho Chi Minh City and Cantho. 5 years ago 18 April 2011 City move closer The City of Greater Dandenong is one step closer to bringing many of its bureaucrats to work at one site, more than 15 years after joining with the City of Springvale. At its meeting last week, the council approved a heads of agreement with State Government developer Vic Urban on a proposed site for a new civic building and possibly a civic square on the corner of Walker and Lonsdale streets in Dandenong. - Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society

Spotlight on core appeal A NARRE Warren North apple grower has temporarily stepped off the farm to spend some time in front of the camera. While Rowan Little’s day job is spent as an apple grower at Montague Orchards on Horswood Road, he was recently filmed for a product segment expected to appear on Channel 7’s My Kitchen Rules. Montague Orchards has been growing apples at the site since the 1950s and the business has been supplying fruit to Coles for more than a decade. Mr Little told Star News his time in front of the camera was a great opportunity for Montague Orchards. “We’re pretty excited,� he said. “Any time you get the opportunity to talk about your product is a good day.� Mr Little is one of eight Coles suppliers to appear in product segments on the toprating TV program. During the product segment Mr Little tells a couple of the MKR contestants that the best way to keep apples fresh is to store then in the crisper. Coles fresh produce general manager Brad Gorman said the company had thrown its support behind Rowan and the segment. “Coles source products directly from hundreds of food producers across Victoria,� he said.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE 04 During the last six weeks there has been an increase in tradespeople on the Bunjil Place site as construction ramps up.

Rowan Little, a fruit grower at Montague Orchards, has been filmed for a product segment in the hit TV show My Kitchen Rules. “Highlighting their produce to a national audience through My Kitchen Rules is another way we can celebrate local suppliers as well as the great food grown on family farms. “We were delighted to support Rowan’s product segments on behalf of Coles in My Kitchen Rules and, in doing so, shine

the national spotlight on such an innovative Victorian business that produces high-quality apples. “Victorian producers such as Rowan and his team are vital in ensuring Australians have excellent fresh local food to buy at Coles.�

FORMER Hallam Secondary College student Arif Hazara is proof of what can be achieved if given a chance. In June, the 21-year-old will fly to Geneva to take part in talks on refugee issues between United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and NGOs. As Australia’s delegate, the former asylum seeker has plenty to say about the plight of the world’s 60 million displaced, including 20 million refugees. Less than one per cent are resettled by the UNHCR, he said. He is particularly concerned for those languishing without recognition in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Middle East. It is an “inhuman and cruel” situation perpetuated by the international community, Mr Hazara argues. More resources are needed not just for refugees, but to address the causes in their countries of origin such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. Arif, who now lives in Noble Park, has come a long way since arriving by boat in Australia as a 16-year-old unaccompanied minor in 2011. Like many asylum seekers, he arrived with nothing. Unlike many, he has been given support by the Melbourne organisation Doxa to study at university - asylum seekers are excluded from HECS support and often can’t afford to study beyond high school. “There are hundreds who are about to finish high school who are very nervous. “Finding work for them is very hard, plus all the stress of waiting for their (refugee) claims to be processed.

79% People 14+ read print newspapers

Arif Hazara is poised to raise a voice for refugees in Geneva. “I believe I’m one of the fortunate ones. It shows what a refugee can do if provided an opportunity.” Mr Hazara was given financial support, professional development and a work placement as part of a Doxa cadetship. Doxa acting chief executive Andrew Cameron said the group helped

a variety of young people, including many new arrivals and refugees, integrate into the community. “Arif is not only an inspirational individual and a fantastic ambassador for our Doxa cadetship program but he is also a testament to how important young people are in our community.”

Making the most of his chance, Mr Hazara works as a full-time assistant accountant at Dennis Family Homes, while studying and mentoring at RMIT. He has also been part of the Greater Dandenong Think Tank in 2013 and spoken at conferences across Australia on refugee issues.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…

ROBOT’S GOT IT!

THE historic Doveton Heights Cottage was sold for $400,000 last week. The house was bought last Thursday before it was scheduled to go under the hammer at auction on Saturday 9 April. The cottage, which sits in Doveton Avenue in Eumemmerring, was built in 1894 by Captain John Doveton and his wife Margaret Elisabeth Doveton, after which the suburb was named. The sale was organised by Donaldson Real Estate, with realtor Les Donaldson saying he was delighted with the outcome.

A LONG delay in justice worked in favour of an accused 48-year-old man in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. For some reason, the drink-driving and family violence charges had remained dormant for 10 years though the man had not moved from his Ashwood address. It only came to light when police recently knocked on his door looking for the father of the man’s step-daughter. The accused – who also fathered a daughter with his partner – mistakenly thought the police were looking for him and came clean. Among his offences was blowing 0.117 when intercepted driving to collect a pizza. The judge said had the man faced court 10 years ago he would be facing imprisonment, but there had been no offences since. The man – who no longer drinks to excess nor drives – was convicted, fined $500, disqualified from driving for 18 months and given a two-month jail term, wholly suspended for 12 months.

IT WAS a case of just follow the gouges in the road during a sluggish police pursuit. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard that police spotted a stolen car, crawling with a deflated tyre and wheel rim grinding along

NOTTING HILL SUNSHINE PRESTON DROMANA PAKENHAM COLDSTREAM PH: 5941 7677 73 BALD HILL ROAD

Willow Drive, Hampton Park, shortly after midnight on 11 April. The silver Bluebird, with sparks and smoke issuing from its front wheel, travelled on despite pursuing police activating their sirens. Police followed the wheel’s gouge marks for two kilometres before catching up with the driver and his 18-year-old passenger. HELPERS are needed to serve refreshments at an upcoming Red Cross blood donor event. It will be held from 2.30pm to 6.30pm on 13 to 16 June in the St Mary’s Primary School hall, New Street, Dandenong. Call Vajira on 0401 178 436 for more information or to lend a hand. ACCOUNTANTS were an unexpected talking point at the Premier Regional Business Awards. AstralPool managing director Peter Wallace got the ball rolling with an ill-received joke about the profession putting the brakes on the spending ambitions of over-eager business owners at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce event on 12 April. “Don’t boo me - I take it back, I love you, accountants!” he pleaded. MC Libbi Gorr later organised a round of applause for the “unfairly maligned” accountants in the room. EARLIER in the evening, Libby’s introduction of fellow MC Jamie Sturgess moved him to the point he thought a thank-you hug was in order. She stopped him in his tracks: “At the end of the night when we know each other better...” A red-faced Jaimie explained he’d misread the moment: “You just said so many nice things!” Libby then accepted a hug and planted a kiss on one cheek – and licked the other. “That could have gone better,” a stunnedlooking Jamie said.

On the trail of charity By LACHLAN MOORHEAD ONE hundred kilometres is a long way to walk without a wink of sleep. But on Friday 9 April, Andray Voronov from Narre Warren pushed through both pain and sleep barriers to complete the 2016 Oxfam Trailwalker. The 27-year-old and seven teammates walked 100 kilometres from Jells Park in Wheelers Hill to Wesburn in the Yarra Valley to raise money for Oxfam. The trek took the team 29 hours to complete and raised $3280. Andray owns and runs Bootcamp HQ, a gym in Hallam, so he and his other Trailwalker team mates had been trying to get in good shape before the event. “The main reason I wanted to do it was because it’s challenging, it’s not something most people would do willy nilly,” Andray said.

Andray Voronov and his team will be taking part in this week's 100-kilometre Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Oxfam Trailwalker event. 152361 “It will test our mental capability and it’s about pushing yourself through it. “It’s not only a physical challenge but it’s also a mental and emotional chal-

lenge, which is why I was drawn to it.” Andray said he and the other walkers had acquainted themselves with the route, having practised with

a ‘short’ 50-km hike. “We’ve done quite a few walks along the actual trail,” he said. “We have a pretty good idea of when the hills are,

when to take it easy and when to push it a bit harder.” Inspired by the achievement, Andray is now committed to tackling the 50 kilometre Extra Mile Walk. The Oxfam Trailwalker event was started in 1981 as a training exercise for the elite Queen’s Gurkha Signals Regiment in Hong Kong. It has since grown to become one of the world’s biggest team events with almost 200,000 people taking part over the years to raise $140 million. Oxfam works with local communities to try to create sustainable solutions to poverty. The charity promotes the importance of education, ensuring access to clean water, teaching how to grow food, and advocating for basic rights.

Residents to be interviewed by murder police POLICE doorknocked homes in Doveton and Springvale South on Thursday for information on the unsolved murder of teenager Cayleb Hough. The remains of the 17-yearold from Chelsea Heights were found in a shallow mineshaft in Lererderg State Park, Bacchus Marsh, on 10 Marsh. Missing Persons Squad investigators are seeking public

information on a pair of runners and a mobile phone that may be significant to the case. They believe the pair of black Adidas high tops and Samsung mobile phone were discarded from a taxi between Harold, Springvale, Patterson and Darren roads, Springvale South, on Monday 21 December 2015 between 10-11.30pm. Police believe the items

were found by a member of the public who were unaware of the items’ significance. Investigators will also be showing residents in Doveton a picture of Cayleb and the vehicle he was last seen in - a blue 2003 Ford Falcon XR6 sedan with registration SOG 812. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.vic.gov.au.

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG’S Avocare was the starting point for the inaugural 1100 kilometre-plus Hunger Ride. Foodbank Victoria (FBV) CEO Dave McNamara and fitness industry veteran Cameron Falloon set off on the cycling event from the food relief distributor on Tuesday 12 April. The gruelling nine-day ride will finish at FBV’s Yarraville headquarters on 20 April and visit key towns within its network along the way. It’s designed to raise awareness, food donations and funds for the 108,700 Victorians who don’t know where their next meal is coming from. “This is an incredible opportunity to raise awareness around the issue of hunger in our own back yard, connect directly with the communities that we impact, as well as engage with the incredible partners who help Foodbank Victoria to fight hunger,” Mr McNamara said. Avocare director Trish Keilty said 200 agencies regu-

larly visited the charity’s warehouse. “The fact that we’ve gone into a bigger warehouse shows that the demand is increasing,” she said. “The donations are growing, but there’s never enough. “There’s always demand for fresh fruit and vegetables and fridge and freezer items, and packaged goods.” Avocare is the Foodbank agent for “anyone this side of the Yarra” but also looks after smaller, local charities. “We have a kitchen at Menzies Avenue and we cook with the community,” Ms Keilty said. “Over 100 people come on a Wednesday night. They get a soup and a main meal and they get a bag of groceries for $1. We see increased numbers all the time.” She said local organisations including Chobani and Castricum Brothers made regular donations and the City of Greater Dandenong offered support. “We get a lot of culturally

diverse food – food that I don’t even know what it is!” she said. “We’re so culturally diverse in this area that our food has to be diverse. “If we get bulk in we use our Work for the Dole participants to reduce the quantity down. “We have 35 tonnes of salt at the moment. “We have to re-bag them into kilo bags – an agency won’t pick up a tonne.” Some manufacturers donate end of run or damaged food items. “It’s keeping food out of landfill,” Ms Keilty said. “We’ll go and pick it up. We don’t expect them to deliver it to us. “We can give them a tax relief invoice.” She encouraged farmers to donate excess stock or “ugly” food. “We don’t care. We’ll take the ugly food,” she said.

Big switch for Zijai

Charis Ulu Peniata has made the grade for the Vic Metro Youth Girls team. 152674

By JARROD POTTER BLAZING his own trail away from the family sporting passion is starting to pay off for Sanih Zijai. The 14-year-old from Dandenong comes from rich football stock, making his switch from Australian rules football to soccer a few years back all the more difficult. His father Sermi, a star footballer himself, brought his boys up to love the Australian code which made things even tougher for his move. Zijai has cousins playing VFL and TAC Cup and in local leagues around Victoria. But despite the family pull which wanted the crafty midfielder to stick with footy, the former Endeavour Hills footballer knew the oval ball just wasn’t his future. That switch took him from the Dandenong District Junior Football League (now South East Juniors) to Dandenong Thunder’s juniors ... and he hasn’t looked back. “I started playing footy when I was seven and I changed when I was 11 and played my first game of soccer when I was 12,” Zijai said. “I didn’t like footy but I had a few mates that made me change to soccer and I’m liking it a lot better.” He made the switch across to the round ball code and hasn’t looked back as his soccer star has started to rise – and he’s made the Victorian National Training Centre (NTC) under-16 side for 2016. The wily striker – who believes his time in football helped develop his aggression and intensity at the contest – has been in such great form for the Thunder that he tried his hand at the NTC trials and was thrilled to get the literal call-up. “I play for the under-16s NTC and went to a few trials and then they called me up and said ‘you’ve made the team’ so it was pretty good,” Zijai said. “I was happy, that’s for sure.”

Fierce fighter hates to lose By JARROD POTTER

Switching to soccer was the best sporting decision of Sanih Zijai’s life. 151839 Zijai’s call up was made all the more likely after an extraordinary 2015 where he booted 38 goals from 26 games in the Thunder’s under-14 NPL East campaign. The NTC program aims to prepare identified Victorian players for the State Institute Challenge and possible selection in Australian National programs such as the Australian Institute of Sport and Qantas Joeys. He hopes to cap off 2016 with

a strong season at the Dandenong Thunder and parlay that form into the NTC side’s final squad, which will head to the national tournament later this year. But Zijai lets his soccer do the talking and is happy to let the season pan out and eventually look towards the likes of NPL sides Melbourne Victory or Melbourne City – proven hunting grounds for up-and-coming junior Victorian talent. “Go with the flow – if I wanted to

do something I probably want to be in the end of the year NTC to make the last 18,” Zijai said. “That’s in the future, of course. I’ve been looking at that (NPL sides), but I just want to be ready for the season and, hopefully, have a good year.” Zijai’s start to NPL 2016 is already flying along as he’s drilled 10 goals in four games for Thunder, including a five-goal haul against Richmond on 6 April.

Pirates’ star steps up for Dragons By JARROD POTTER CHALK up another major achievement for football rising star Perry Lewis-Smith. After an elite end to 2015 - winning an under-17 South East Juniors best-and-fairest, beston-ground medal and premiership in the same week for his beloved Parkmore Pirates - LewisSmith, 17, from Mt Eliza, ramped up his early 2016 form after he earned his TAC Cup debut on Saturday. Running out for the Sandringham Dragons, Lewis-Smith took position in the back half of the ground against Oakleigh – learning his way around the run-and-carry role of a half-back flanker. While he’s mostly been a midfielder throughout his junior journey, Lewis-Smith didn’t mind where he was put on the field just as long as he’s out there for the Dragons. “I was obviously very excited to play my first game - little bit of nerves but I think I really adapted well to the speed of the game at TAC Cup level and thought I did pretty well,” Lewis-Smith said. “They played me through the backline – first time in my life that I’ve ever played there – but I thought I did OK. “They chucked me in the midfield for the last 10 minutes and I think I did pretty well there as well – was extremely happy as it shows they’ve

Earning a Dragon debut over the weekend was Parkmore/Sandown footballer Perry Lewis-Smith. 152661 Picture: JARROD POTTER got faith in me and that all my hard work is paying off.” Relishing the professional training environment at Trevor Barker Beach Oval, Lewis-Smith

has taken to the TAC Cup like a duck to water as he accrued 12 possessions from limited time on ground. His pre-season form earned him a spot on the list and immediately Lewis-Smith has impressed as he knocked off a 15.9 beep test at the TAC Cup testing day and knocked down the door for senior selection in only the third match of the year. He was thrilled to earn his place on the Sandringham list and believes the start to the year is only the beginning of what he can achieve in the colours. “I was over the moon - you never really know what they’re thinking so you’re on edge all the time – but I was very happy that they’ve shown faith in me and were impressed with what I was doing in the pre-season,” Lewis-Smith said. “I played a couple of practice matches before the season started and was playing really good football and was used to the tempo of the game and adapted really well to that. “I think I did my best and as the games keep going on I’ll adapt even more and get better each week.” He’s aged up out of the Parkmore ranks and has now switched across to SFL Division 3 senior club Sandown Cobras, who are directly affiliated with the Pirates. Lewis-Smith’s Dragons face the Western Jets on Saturday morning.

PARKMORE Pirates footballer Charis Ulu Peniata was duly rewarded for a stellar Youth Girls Academy campaign as the Sandringham midfielder secured her debut spot in the Victoria Metro Youth Girls side. Ulu Peniata won’t have to travel far for the upcoming championships, which are held in Melbourne early in May. While she’s still fairly new to the game, Vic Metro coach Wayne Siekman said she has more than impressed the selectors and earned her place in the Big V. “She’s very much an exciting player for us and the coaches,” Siekman said. “We didn’t know a lot about her, but her performances on the field for Sandringham made us quickly watch everything she did. “The way she played down back – she never got beaten – and her follow up work to try and get the footy was remarkable.” Siekman thinks Ulu Peniata has what it takes to make a great impact at the championships, even with her football development still in the works. “Especially for someone who has a lot of talent but is still raw,” Siekman said. “She’s a fierce competitor and hates to lose contests and will be crucial in our back half.” From the Dandenong Stingrays Youth Girls Academy, captain Georgia Walker (Vic Country), Lyndhurst’s Emily Browning and Cranbourne trio Courtney Jones, Georgia Gourlay and Kayla Ripari among others who will get to run out in front of a home crowd this year. “That’s one of the big reasons I wanted to go again for one more year – the opportunity to coach these girls in front of their families in our home state and showcase the Metro academy,” Siekman said. “It’s one of the most important and key things this year to be able to do that with this playing group. “It’s going to be a great opportunity to coach them and help them through these situations.” The selected Stingrays players all featured in the Youth Girls Academy Challenge grand final, with the Dandenong contingent holding aloft the inaugural premiership. “Following on from last year, where we had a lot of success from the running side in Perth, we’ve built a very good foundation to continue the same trend this year,” Vic Metro coach Wayne Siekman said. “But saying that we’ve got a really good injection of a lot of tall, athletics players as well.” LOCAL YOUTH GIRLS STATE REPRESENTATIVES VIC METRO: Dandenong - Jordyn Allen, Emily Browning (Lyndhurst), Georgia Gee, Tyla Hanks, Brooke Struylaart (Beaconsfield), Courtney Jones, Kayla Ripari, Georgia Gourlay (Cranbourne), Jasmine Grierson, Jess Provan, Jess Smith. Sandringham – Charis Ulu Peniata (Parkmore). VIC COUNTRY: Georgia Walker, Suede Croad, Bridie Kennedy, Emily Rylance, Sam Ryan, Zoe Mitchell, Parris Stahl (emergency).

Stingrays smalls on the ball By JARROD POTTER TAC CUP - ROUND 3 BLUDGEONING Bendigo has become a Dandenong speciality in recent years and Saturday proved no different as the hosts sent their country brethren packing in a 61-point lashing. A nine-goal opening term effectively shut the door on Bendigo early, but the visitors didn’t plod about without reason after quarter time though. Bendigo was well served by forward Jordan Rosengren (two goals) - who marked spectacularly across the afternoon, especially in slippery conditions - but by and large the Bendigo effort could be summed up simply - too few, not often enough. On the Stingrays side of the ledger, a disappointing second term left the side desperate to bounce back and set the stage for its third win of the campaign. Bendigo charged back to life before half time, slashing the margin to 24 at the main break as Dandenong’s efforts dried up. But business as usual resumed after the half though as the Stingrays emerged from their shell once more. A brilliant piece of link-up footy from Aaron Darling and hard-running defender Jack Doman who sprinted from full back to the forward flank to get a handball - set up the Stingrays’ best highlight from the ’premiership’ quarter. While the talls flew all day - especially Tom De Koning (three goals) in an eye-opening debut from a 17-year-old - it was the Stingrays’ smalls that truly shone at Shepley Oval. Danny Allsop continued his ascent through the TAC Cup ranks with a phenomenal five-goal haul in tandem with Sam Fowler (four goals) - as the latter has booted 11 already this season. Allsop racked up the goals and kilometres as he intercepted marks, chased down defenders and generally terrorised anything in a Bendigo

Danny Allsop was elite across the forward-50, booting five goals in Dandenong’s round Picture: JARROD POTTER three TAC Cup victory over Bendigo. 152949 jumper inside his forward arc. While Allsop and the like starred up forward, the defensive flankers and pockets shone just as brightly, with Narre’s Brenton Wells sinking his teeth into anything that roamed through his space. Berwick product Reece Piper finally got a big TAC Cup monkey off his back too, completing a TAC Cup match without injury and doing it emphatically with his disposal out of defence. While not racking up the touches or the goals like his team mates, Mason de Wit was also one

of the best afield for a gutsy effort down back, taking the main challenges with nominal full back Ryan Gains out for private school football. In the end the Stingrays had answers for questions the Pioneers hadn’t even asked of them as Craig Black’s charges maintained their unbeaten start to 2016. “Our start of the game... I wish we could start like that every week,” Black said. “We were on the boys about starting well with warm ups and leading the game and today it did.

“We were able to get the ball back into our hands and get the job done.” With the baby Stingrays getting the job done - as Black continues to blood fresh faces throughout the start of the season - it shows the depth down at Shepley Oval as first choice outs like Josh Battle don’t halt the win streak. “I think round one we had 12 first gamers, then three or four in round two and four more today,” Black said. “So we bring them in knowing they can do that and we expect a lot from our leaders to help bring them through. “Happy as a program to give new kids an opportunity and you could see it today - how exciting can Tom De Koning be? “As a 17 year old if he can keep developing off that game this year and next year he could be quite exciting.” With three wins and flying high in provisional first place (as of Sunday afternoon when the Journal went to print), Dandenong faces NSW/ACT Rams in a curtain-raiser at Frankston Oval on Saturday morning from 11am.

Noble Park roars into life Stingrays band together By JARROD POTTER GREATER DANDENONG FOOTBALL REVIEW ROUND 2 IT WAS not fancy, but Noble Park did enough to knock off lowly Knox by 52 points in the end. A horror first term - marred by poor kicking, questionable decision-making and a lack of intent, had Eastern Football League heavyweight Noble Park trailing at the break, forcing coach Mick Fogarty to gather the group and give them a serve. “We haven’t come to play,” Fogarty said at the huddle.“They were able to outwork you as you think it’s just going to happen. “That was a basic lack of skill ... there are a lot of blokes with question marks about them.” From there the tables turned though as the Bulls resumed its traditional Moodemere St rampage. A four-goal second term - led by the hard work of recruit Ben Giobbi and experienced midfielders Kyle Martin and Will Petropoulos - set the stage for the noble escape. Bit by bit the Bulls separated itself from Knox as Shayne Allan (three goals) and Petropoulos (three goals) hit the scoreboard and found the space needed to outwork the Falcons’ defence. Vergim Faik had another outstanding performance as Noble Park’s main ruckman taking on the responsibilities this season with Glen Manson sidelined - to give his rovers first use. Noble Park has a far greater battle on its hands this week, as it battles long-time nemesis Norwood at home on Saturday.

Springvale Districts and Keysborough were both vanquished on Saturday in SFL Division 2 as the Demons had a closely contested battle against Caulfield, while the Burra was simply outplayed by Highett. A shoot-out at Newcomen Road didn’t fall the Demons’ way as the Bears stormed home in the last term to take a 12.7 (79) to 9.8 (62) win. Springvale’s moxie was not lacking, but it couldn’t hit the scoreboard with the game on the line. Sam Blackburn (three goals), Ryan Cunningham (two goals) and Lance Baptist all did their duty for the District, which is still on the hunt for its maiden 2016 triumph. The Burra was in abysmal form through the first three terms as the Bulldogs chomped down on anything flying across the midfield. From a 58-point deficit at the main break, it soon ballooned into a whopping 91-point buffer at the last change as the visitors lacked any grand cohesion. Some respectability was added in the last stanza, as Keysborough booted seven goals but by then the game was well and truly over as it finished 10.10 (70) to 21.11 (137). Danny Morland (two goals) featured prominently in his 100th match for the Burra while Darren Jameson (three goals), Geoff Humphreys (two goals) and Will Gayfer (two goals) were also best afield. In Division 3, Doveton Eagles comfortably cantered past Endeavour Hills - with a sevengoal haul between Peter Dye and Darren Ramsdale enough to see off the Falcons’ best. Nathan Crutchley (three goals) and Ben Moriarty were best for the Hills-men. Sandown was left to lick its wounds after Lyndhurst surged

home to take its inaugural victory. The Cobras lacked any forward pressure as the Lightning struck early. From a scoreless first term to 4.5 (29) to 6.7 (43) by the final siren, it was a bleak outing for the Edinburgh Reserve boys as Scott Jackman, Chris Telley and Jake D’Atri were best on ground. Lyndale was outclassed by Hallam as the visitors suffered a 5.12 (42) to 9.10 (64) defeat. Inaccuracy dogged the Pumas as they booted three goals, seven behinds in the second half compared to Hallam’s cleaner six-goals-six. Taylor Rainey, Steve Comino and Shannon Rainey were best on for Lyndale while Hallam’s Matt Neve, Josh Furborough and Rory McIvor shone for the Hawks. Dadenong was flogged 5.3 (33) to Mount Waverley’s 22.26 (158) in a lopsided outing for the Redlegs. Cameron Riley (three goals) and Mitch Clarke were the bright lights on a dark day for the hosts. In VAFA results, St John’s got off to a great start, charging through the second term to take a 19-point win over Yarra Valley OB. Aaron Thornton (eight goals) was sublime up front while Keith Ash, Glenn Costas and Corey Ely all flew the flag the hardest for the JOCs. Masala’s second Division 4 campaign is off to a rocky start following a 133-point demolition at the hands of Mt Lilydale. The Tigers struggled to much any significant offence after quarter-time as its woeful 7.15 (57) to 28.22 (190) goal-kicking proved problematic. Sam Freeman (three goals), Zach Kelly and Matt Disseldorp were best afield.

for captain Liam McKay By JARROD POTTER LIFE on the football field took a step back this week for Dandenong Stingrays captain Liam McKay, after confirmation his friend had been discovered in tragic circumstances. The club rallied around its Edithvale-Aspendale skipper who found out on Tuesday morning the body of his team mate and friend Cayleb Hough had been found after he was missing for 16 weeks. Hough’s remains were discovered in Lerderderg State Park; grim news no-one on in the south east wanted to hear, especially Hough’s friends and former Eagles’ team mates. The Stingrays wore black armbands in honour of the 17-year-old and to support their captain through his most difficult time. “I was pretty worried - it never really looked good,” McKay said. “It’s been a pretty tough week for me and training was pretty hard during the week, but I’m just like trying to move on as much as it’s in my head. “Trying to get over it and just play footy.” The Stingrays captain always wanted to don the jumper, wrap around the black armband and lead his side out on Saturday afternoon, to play in honour of a friend who was taken far too soon. “I always wanted to play; I played footy with him - he played at Edithvale with me and thought it would be a good thing to do,” McKay said. “He’d want me to play.” Family, friends, the Sting-

Liam McKay and the Stingrays donned black armbands on Saturday to honour his friend Cayleb Hough. 152949 Picture: JARROD POTTER rays and the greater community have embraced McKay and all of Hough’s nearest and dearest as the search for answers into his death has commenced. “They’ve all been really supportive and been there for me,” McKay said. “Helping me out through a pretty tough time, but I’m sure I’ll get over it and get through it. “Rest in peace Cayleb - great kid, had a heart of gold and he’s going to be missed dearly.” Dandenong Stingrays coach Craig Black was at a loss for words about the tragedy. He wanted to make sure the Sting-

rays did whatever they could do to support McKay through this tough time and let him know they always have his back. “Words can’t explain that sort of stuff and we wear the armbands today as a small sign of respect as what we can do on behalf of our captain who we think the world of and any way we can support him we want to do it,” Black said. Hough’s under-16 team mate Charlie Martello also featured in the Stingrays’ Saturday afternoon victory over Bendigo. His funeral will be held on 22 April.

Thunder domin-eight By JARROD POTTER NPL 2 EAST - ROUND 8 THE driving rain couldn’t halt the red and black progression as Brunswick City was the next victim in Dandenong Thunder’s eight-match winning streak. In what was meant to be a fairly even second versus third showdown turned into an emphatic Thunder 3-1 triumph as life in the second tier continued at a canter for the boys from George Andrews Reserve. After a near-miss spot-kick, Kristian Sarkies (23’) made amends quickly after, as the former A League midfielder was brought into an unmissable spot from a cross. Thunder kept pushing despite the heavens opening, but the rain turned the game into a messy affair through the end of the second half as Brunswick City started accumulating yellow cards rapidly. City brought one back in the second half, but its brief moment of joy was soon superseded by Englishman Brandon Barnes (55’ and 67’) who added two more to its season tally to see off the visitors. “It was good - I enjoy those types of conditions as a bit of dew on the grass makes the ball move a lot quicker,” Thunder coach Huss Skenderovic said. “(Sarkies’ goal) changed the game -

every team that comes to Dandenong will find it very tough to play there. “We knew if we got a good goal in the first half and set the tempo of the game, we could preven them from threatening us and it’s always good to go in one-nil up.” Importantly for the Thunder, the goals didn’t dry up without golden-boot leader Amir Osmancevic out of action this week, with a strained ankle ligament. Dandenong City will kick itself after letting prime points slip away against Eastern Lions in a 2-2 draw. After going ahead 2-1, early through Anthony Cassar (12’) and a late one from the skipper John Carroll (90+2’), and holding it for most of the match, City had to settle for a point after an amazing last passage of play from Eastern Lions goalkeeper Robert Havercroft (90+3’). Coming up the field with seconds remaining for the last corner, Havercroft found himself open at the front and slotted the goal over Damir Salcin to settle the outcome. Springvale White Eagles will face Dandenong City in a local derby on Saturday, while Thunder heads out to Kingston City on Monday night for a first versus second must-see match, following its other big game this week - the FFA Cup qualifying clash against Hume City at home on Wednesday night.

Unbeaten Doves sign Fevola By DAVID NAGEL FORMER Carlton star Brendan Fevola will go head-to-head with Cranbourne goal-kicking sensation Marc Holt after agreeing to play for Doveton on Saturday 28 May. The two-time Coleman Medallist and three-time All-Australian will suit up under lights at Robinson Oval in a mouthwatering confrontation at the Doves’ home ground. Fevola, who kicked 623 goals in his 204-game AFL career, has continued his domination of opposition full-backs breaking game-records at Yarrawonga (16 goals) and New Norfolk (18 goals) along the way. To have Fevola and Holt -who is set to break the 900-goal barrier this year- and former Melbourne star Aaron Davey on the same ground at the same time will be a massive boost for both Doveton and the South East Football Netball League. Doveton president Aaron Henwood and senior-coach Stephen O’Brien announced Fevola’s signing just minutes before the Doves ran out for their round two engagement against a new-look Narre Warren on Saturday. And what a classic match it turned out to be, the Doves remaining unbeaten after a heart-stopping one-point 10.15 (75) to 11.8 (74) victory over the Magpies at Kalora Park. There were never more than three goals in this contest all day with Dove-

ton’s Michael Henry stretching the margin to a game-high 17 points after a miraculous banana from the boundary at the 12-minute mark of the second term. Goals to Sam Raru and Mitch Pierce closed the gap, before two late points to Mitch Woolgar gave the Doves a famous victory. “Most people probably thought we would just fade away in the last quarter but we’re a pretty resilient group down at the Doves and we showed that today,” O’Brien said. “It was a really good game of footy all day, both sides having a crack and playing the game in a really good competitive spirit.” Experienced players like Russ Gabriel, Matt Jameson, Jarrad Boumann and Raru were particularly good for the Doves, but O’Brien saved special praise for the impact of youngsters in Tyson Hoy, Jarrod Smith, Thomas Agar and Shannon Brennan. Pierce finished with three for the Doves, Shannon Henwood and Raru two each, while Sheen made an auspicious start to his season with six for the Magpies. Young big-men Jordyn Flannery and Jake Richardson showed promising signs for the vanquished while Michael Milivojevic was also impressive. Gabriel, Davey and Henry had some critical touches for the Doves in the dying stages.

SEABL - ROUND 3 FINALLY on the winner’s list after three attempts, Dandenong got its SEABL season going with a 93-79 triumph over Kilsyth. The men’s side switched on in the second half to breeze past the Cobras, but it wasn’t all easy going as the visitors fought tooth and nail to stick to the Rangers. Daequon Montreal (30 points) posted one of his mammoth tallies - terrorising the visitors at both ends of the court. In league with Lucas Walker (17 points, five rebounds) and Andrew Harms (16 points, nine assists) the Rangers charged to the finish line to break its small, but frustrating, two-game losing streak. Dandenong’s women on the other hand squandered an amazing start to fall 73-78 to Kilsyth. After at one stage leading 17-6, the Rangers’ lead was chipped away piece by piece by the resurgent Cobras. From team mates to foes in the blink of an eye, Dandenong WNBL cocaptains Aimie Clydesdale (13 points) and Steph Cumming (25 points) took to a friendly on-court rivalry. Kilsyth’s Cumming showed her experience as the born-and-bred Endeavour Hills guard shot the lights out down the stretch in league with Jasmine Gill (29 points). Lauren Scherf (21 points, 17 rebounds) continued her extraordinary start to life in SEABL 2016, rattling off another supreme double-double. She partnered with evergreen Rangers’ forward Clare Papavs (19 points, eight rebounds) - who rattled off a full 40 minutegame in her 286th SEABL match. Dandenong will now head down the highway on Sunday afternoon to battle Frankston in round 4 action from 1.30pm.

MOTORING Sleek affordable status By DEREK OGDEN YOU have to hand it to Hyundai. A decade or so ago the South Korean automobile manufacturer churned out cheap and cheerful cars in which refinement was not a strong suit. Now, with the sixth generation of the Hyundai Elantra not only has refinement reached new heights, quality has followed while still maintaining its affordable status. And design no longer takes a back seat with Hyundai’s sleek design philosophy there for all to see. The latest Elantra is not lacking in specification, with two levels - Active and Elite (Premium has been dropped) - offering buyers choices not often found at this price point. At $21,490, the Active is marginally more expensive than the car it replaces but includes more than $2000 worth of added value, while the Elite carries $2000 to $2500 extra value. We were presented with the midrange Active automatic, at $23,790, plus on-road costs, to evaluate. It provided a clear insight into the Hyundai company philosophy. Striking new looks set the tone of the new Elantra, a key feature being a more assertive front end than before thanks to Hyundai’s ‘family signature’ hexagonal radiator grille, slimline headlamps and LED daytime running lights. From the side, sweeping character lines work well. Projector beam foglamps are standard across the range, while an impres-

sive 0.27 drag coefficient is attained with the help of front wheel ‘air curtains’ - derived from the Sonata Hybrid - that help channel airflow around the wheels to minimise turbulence and wind resistance. Other wind cheaters include strategically positioned underbody covers, a new-design lower rear bumper spoiler and longer boot lid. Elantra’s stablemates, Genesis, Sonata and Tucson play their part with the Hyundai’s passenger cabin featuring driver-focused surroundings in which main controls are arranged in groups according to function - multimedia controls at the top, climate functions below on a stack angled towards the driver, and drive system operations on or behind the steering wheel. Occupants are offered more shoulder room front and rear (up 7 mm and 12 mm respectively) and more rear headroom (up 4 mm) and, at 59 mm, a heap more leg room. Ambience is enhanced by alloy-look air vent surrounds and metallic-painted dashboard and door trim inserts. A touchscreen multimedia system with 7.0-inch TFT LCD display is now standard in both Active and Elite, offering wide-ranging connectivity, including USB, Aux, digital iPod and Bluetooth. Also standard is the Apple CarPlay system, including access to Siri voiceactivation. A six-speaker audio has steering wheel-mounted controls.

Model range Elantra Active 2.0-litre petrol five-door hatch: $21,490 (manual), $23,790 (automatic) Elantra Elite 2.0-litre petrol five-door hatch: $26,490 (automatic)

The latest Hyundai Elantra takes on a more assertive stance. Hyundai’s naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine has taken over from the previous Elantra’s 1.8 motor and is paired with either six-speed manual (Active only) or sixspeed automatic transmissions (Active and Elite). Maximum power of 112 kW and 192 Nm maximum torque are up two per cent and eight per cent, respectively, on the outgoing Elantra. Lowend torque has been improved significantly, though its peak at 4000 rpm is very high. The electronically controlled sixspeed automatic transmission, available in both Active and Elite, features a lock-up torque converter and sequen-

tial manual shift mode. Six airbags (driver and front passenger, driver and front passenger side (thorax), and full length curtains) take care of passive safety and are standard across the Elantra range. Active safety in all variants is in the hands of Electronic Stability Control, including Traction Control, Anti-lock brakes, Electronic Brake force Distribution, Brake Assist and Vehicle Stability Management. Hill Start Assist helps in setting off on an incline. Cloth seats are adequate, the driver wins with height adjustment. There’s a tilt and telescopic steering column and one-touch turn signal with three flashes.

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine musters up 112 kW of power at 6200 revs. Off the mark the Elantra is no sprinter. Fuel consumption on test, at 10.1 litres per 100 kilometres, turned out to be spot on with the maker’s mark around town. Our 4.8 litres per 100 kilometres on a motorway run beat Hyundai’s figure of 5.5 easily. Extensive Australian testing and development, a regular feature of Hyundai product, has resulted in a stronger, stiffer chassis, hence outstanding ride and handling of the new Elantra. The Elantra, in both looks and performance, adds to an outstanding range of vehicles coming out of South Korea, challenging the traditional leaders in this congested small-car market.

Big bang for Allure arrival

...a bigger Mazda feeling!

By DEREK OGDEN AS THE world’s oldest car brand, talking about Peugeot is like discussing the universe at the time of the Big Bang. The Peugeot family has been making cars in 1889. Since then, the French carmaker has brought many fascinating cars. Our latest road test was of the Peugeot 208 hatchback, first seen here in 2013 and recently redesigned to include more technology and new drivetrains. New to the range in Australia is the Peugeot 208 Access, available with the 1.2-litre 60 kW engine and five-speed manual; or an uprated version of the 1.2 engine with 81 kW engine with an six-speed automatic, for $15,990 and $18,990, respectively. Another new kid on the block is the GT-Line automatic ($27,490), a car for those who want sporty elements and comfort, but without the hardcore performance of the 208 GTi ($30,990). Mid-range are the Active and Allure variants, both with automatic transmission only. The Peugeot 208, in our test car spec with metallic paint and reverse camera, comes to market at $27,280, plus on-road costs. Minus the two cost options it can be had for $25,990. Stylistically, the Peugeot 208 is bang up to date, with newest materials used in a creative manner. The latest 208’s redesigned front bumper features a sharper line, pairing with a wider, deeper grille with integrated chrome rim. The two-tone finish of the automatic headlights see them with black and chrome masks. LED daytime running lights and cornering assist foglights turn up the effect on night-time vision. Wipers are automatic too. The LED tail lights now incorporate a redesigned cluster featuring Peugeot’s signature 3-D ‘claws’ motif, but designers retained the sculpted side and chrome window trim from the previous model. There are new 16-inch and 17-inch wheel options, with painted or ‘diamante’ finishes

Peugeot 208 . . . designers have added modern features without losing sight of the heritage.

MODEL RANGE 208 Access 60kW: $15,990 (manual) 208 Access 81kW: $18,990 (automatic) 208 Active: $21,990 (automatic) 208 Allure: $25,990 (automatic) 208 GT-Line: $27,490 (automatic) 208 GTi: $30,990 (manual)

available, as well as a laser-engraved option. The spare wheel is full-size steel. Peugeot says it has paid attention to ensuring that comfort, safety and performance are far above average for the compact class. The 208 Access and Active feature Mistral Tungsten Comfort Cloth trim, while the Allure model receives Techmat Mistral 3-D Mesh Sports Cloth. The smooth leather steering wheel incorporates a satin chrome highlight, there are similar highlights on the gear lever and on air vent surrounds. Dual zone air-conditioning keeps the climate comfy. Peugeot 208 Allure can be optioned with rich Claudia leather trim for the seats, while the pack adds leatherette door cards, plus seat warmers and passenger seat height adjustment. For a real luxury touch, Allure buyers can also option their car with the Cielo Panorama glass roof and privacy glass. The seven-inch touch screen, standard all round, allows intui-

tive access to the different functions of the vehicle, from playing audio files to making use of satellite navigation (standard in Allure), as well as the trip computer and management of phone calls via Bluetooth. The 208 Allure takes advantage of Peugeot’s flagship 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol three-cylinder engine, featuring stop/start technology to help trim emissions when the car is stationary. Coupled with a new Aisin six-speed automatic, it achieves carbon dioxide emissions of just 104 g/km. It has a Euro 6 emissions rating. The new transmission makes gear changes 40 per cent than the old four-speed auto it replaces. It does this by using Quick Shift; a new technology for synchronised control of the engine and gearbox that includes a more efficient internal calculator. Active City Braking acts as a back-up if the driver fails to react. It works only at speeds of less than 30 km/h. Radar detects mobile or fixed objects in front of the vehicle and acts on the braking system providing deceleration of up to 10 metres per second. The Peugeot 208 Allure lives up to the name with an appealing package of comfort, technology and convenience, all at a mainstream price. Desire carries over to the looks too.
