Tradies cut short By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS ABOUT 250 creditors including tradies, suppliers, customers and employees are owed millions of dollars as a result of the shock liquidation of Hallam-based boutique builders Botanic Homes. The award-winning company – which advertises luxury display homes in Officer, Narre Warren North, Clyde North, Lysterfield and other parts of Melbourne – was put in administration on 3 May. Jason Stone of the administrators PKF Melbourne said it is too early to say how much of the estimated $4-5 million of debt will be recouped by creditors. Mr Stone said the Hallam South Road business had been taken by “surprise” by its financial demise.

There had been “really good” forward projections but the company “couldn’t get over the short-term hurdle”, he said. “The cash flow shortage seemed to creep up on them and they were just not able to find a way out of it.” Botanic Homes’ assets included properties ranging from land lots to complete display homes. Many of those properties had bank loans on them and Mr Stone said that they should show a cash “surplus” when they were sold. PKF Melbourne was also dealing with a number of interested parties to acquire the business assets. Mr Stone said there didn’t seem to be any impropriety involved in Botanic Homes’ fall but that would be part of his ongoing investigation.

Directors Craig Garvey and Robert Bender could be personally pursued for some debts, having made personal guarantees for some supplier debts and other items, Mr Stone said. Star News has heard unverified stories of creditors owed up to $250,000, and a couple’s underconstruction home being “trashed” by tradies not paid by Botanic Homes. Housing Industry Association state director Gil King said consumers covered by domestic building insurance were protected. “The domestic building insurance, often referred to as ‘junk insurance’ is in place specifically for circumstances like this. “As with most if not all insurance products you hope that you never need to use it but it is comforting to know it is there when needed.”

Botanic Homes’ website has been stripped of content, its Facebook page taken down and its office phone on message bank. According to testimony from former Small Business Minister Bruce Billson – now taken down from the website – the company had employed 30 people. It provided “strong business to dozens of service providers and trades people”. “It takes real courage and belief to enter the market against established volume builders,” the testimony states. “But that is what Botanic Homes did.” Botanic Homes was founded in 2008. Its designs have won 2013 awards from Masters Builders Victoria and the Housing Industry Association. Star News attempted to contact Botanic Homes for comment.

$100,000 stolen goods A man accused of a spate of car thefts and burglaries as well as co-harbouring about $100,000 of purported stolen property has made a failed bail application in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. Jeremy Leigh Jose, 35, had spent nearly two months in custody when he fronted the court on 9 May. Police told the court that during Jose’s “prolific” alleged thefts this year he had been bailed to a Hallam address and under a community corrections order. But when arrested in early March he was found to be living in Traralgon with a co-accused and about $100,000 of suspected stolen property. He’d stopped reporting as part of his bail since mid-February, the court was told. Jose and a co-accused allegedly drove two stolen Hyundai vans into a Traralgon car wash on 9 March, sprayed blue paint over CCTV cam-

eras, and broke four padlocks to coin machines, according to a police summary tendered to the court. Police allege Jose - also known as Jeremy Osler on some police briefs - stole the vans from businesses in Hallam and Dandenong South in December and February. In little over a month in February and March there were a further 14 alleged thefts, including a Great Wall ute from Berwick on 31 January - 1 February. On 16 February, the ute was sighted as Jose allegedly stole $4500 from a car wash’s locked cabinet. Other alleged crimes included a home burglary netting $3100 of bathroom, kitchen fittings and a dishwasher, and the theft of a TV and generator from a caravan. In arguing for bail, defence lawyer John Buxton said Jose was contesting some of the matters and had been found suitable for a CREDIT bail program with drug and alcohol counselling.

Armed robbery bandit’s stolen car ends dumped in Doveton

Mr Buxton proposed a strict curfew and reporting regime for Jose, who would live in Warragul. Jose required further Crohn’s Disease treatment, following the surgical removal of a large section of his blocked bowel last year, the lawyer said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Jose was facing years in jail if convicted, noting a lack of compliance with court orders and a number of outstanding charges on top of the latest offences. “He says he’s got to look after a child but he’s all over the state of Victoria - as far as Sale - at different times of the day... in stolen vehicles, in burglaries and attempted burglaries.” Mr Vandersteen, in rejecting bail, deemed Jose was an unacceptable risk of re-offending. “The offences are just too many.” Jose was remanded to appear at La Trobe Magistrates’ Court on 1 June then to Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 6 June.

A car used in an armed robbery in Canterbury turned up burnt out in Doveton. Police were told a man armed with a hammer and knife entered the convenience store on Canterbury Road, about 3am on Tuesday 26 April. The offender threatened the attendant and made demands for cash. A small amount of cash was handed over and the bandit fled the scene. It is believed he drove away in a stolen Nissan Pulsar and fled travelling north on Station Street towards Box Hill. The car was subsequently found torched in Doveton two days later. Investigators have released images of a man that may be able to assist them.

Businesses hit by burglaries Narre Warren police are urging shop owners to lock up, maintain security systems and be vigilant after a spate of commercial burglaries. Thieves have had their eyes on industrial businesses in Hallam this year and Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Clark said there has been a series of commercial burglaries. “The Hallam industrial estate has been subject to some burglaries over the past couple of months,” Det Clark said. “If you see anything suspicious call triple-zero and be vigilant,” he said.

School’s out for teacher and the kids are still great By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Rob Kay’s career came full circle when he heard his final school bell as a full-time teacher on 6 May. The Berwick Chase Primary School class teacher went back to teaching PE for his final official week, the same round he had when he started teaching 34 years ago. Retirement came earlier than expected due to “the dice rolling my way”, Mr Kay said. But he retains a love of the job, the teachers, parents and kids. His guiding principle is that any lesson can be made to be fun and engaging. Mr Kay speaks of helping children through tough times, who then go on to repay the faith of the teacher who was dedicated to helping them. Many years ago he used to take disadvantaged students to his mother’s Sunday roast. Decades later, they tell him they fondly remember those meals. “It’s giving those kids a bit of normality, a taste of what a regular family will do. “For example, you’d show them how to use a knife and fork properly.” Mr Kay admires the way “natural” teachers deliver a lesson and get the best out of their kids. It’s an honour to be entrusted with a child’s education, he said. But there is also high expectation. Much of Mr Kay’s career had been spent at Hillsmeade Primary School in Narre Warren South. He has also coached junior cricket and football in Doveton and Beaconsfield - with the distinct aim of players enjoying the game. Mr Kay fondly recalls the camaraderie between students and volunteering parents as part of Human Powered Vehicle challenges. One thing that really blows him away is meeting - and in some cases working with - former pupils who have followed in his professional footsteps. Mr Kay can’t see himself being idle for long, perhaps even returning to classrooms as an emergency teacher. “I still think kids are great. There are amazing people.”

Mum and baby escape A mum home alone with her baby escaped a home invasion unscathed. The Endeavour Hills mother managed to see the person exit through her lounge room window. She described the arm of the offender - the only body part she saw - as pale. The female victim heard noises in the hallway which alerted her to the intruder. The offender gained entry into the Daniel Solander Drive property on Wednesday 4 May, about 1pm. It’s believed nothing was stolen in the aggravated burglary.

Teens seen, bikes gone Witnesses claim two teenagers were seen hanging around a residential street in Berwick before two mountain bikes were stolen from a nearby unlocked garage. The bikes, valued at about $2000, were taken from the Marisa Crescent address on Monday 25 April between 1.30pm and 2pm. The unknown offenders helped themselves to the two bikes and other items inside the garage. The bicycles are described as male and female mountain bikes, one 21-inch, black frame with green stripes and the other 16-inch, black frame with blue stripes.

Stolen boat on Box Street A boat stolen from Ringwood was last seen at an address in Doveton. The boat named the ‘Hornet Trophy’ was stolen from Ringwood on Thursday 28 April and was last seen on Friday 29 April on Box Street, Doveton. The boat was being towed by a white utility. Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of the boats is urged to call Casey CIU on 9705 3111.

Cash in blistered hands was my first taste of capitalism in short trousers 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. I was always on the lookout for ways to earn money. Mr and Mrs Drake, who were friends of mum and dad, lived in a redbrick house on land that was once part of Thuruna’s land opposite the end of Stud Road. Mr Drake drove some of Grenda’s first buses and he kept a passenger bus in his garage. Those first Grenda’s buses were forerunners of the larger parlour coaches or charabancs. These were possibly the first motorised means of transport after the horse-drawn stage coaches. Parlour coaches met the steam trains at Dandenong station and took passengers to Tooradin and other places. I remember that house had a large open back yard and as a 10-year-old I earned about seven

BACK JACK JOHNSON shillings, which at that time made me a capitalist in short pants. My job was to dig up the whole back yard and prepare it for a vegetable garden. I worked there after school and on weekends. I raised a few painful blisters, but when the job was finished and I was heading home, it was amazing how soothing those silver coins were on my blistered hands. Mr Drake gave me another sixpence because of the extra work done when I dug up a small tip in the middle of the yard. It was full of old bottles and cans and all sorts of household items that remained from the bon-

Roseneath was built on four and a half acres of land. Its boundaries were McCrae, Power and New

Looking Back 100 years ago 4 May 1916 The Red Cross Dispute Public Meeting cancelled At a meeting of the Dandenong Shire Council on 27 April 1916, Dr F E Langley notified that a deputation desired to be heard in regard to Red Cross affairs - quite a formidable deputation, numbering between 30 and 40 members of the Red Cross. The president inquired as to the number of speakers as the council had a lengthy business paper to deal with. Dr Langley replied that there were three speakers and that he had been asked to attend the council meeting to speak on behalf of the Red Cross committee and to protest against the proposed public meeting. I am instructed by the chairman of the State War Council to inform you that in issuing the regulations recently enacted on the

streets and its lefts side neighbour on McCrae Street was Briarhurst, the former home of Doctor Phillips. An architect-designed house of red machinemade bricks, Roseneath was originally built for Sir Samuel Gillot, a former member of Parliament. This property fascinated us. Its only entrances were from McCrae Street where it had two driveways. The one to the house was along the side of the house, via a gravel drive which led from iron gates that had the name of the house formed in them. This gateway was set in a brick columned fence with iron panels. On the left of the drive was some of the last remaining native bush in central Dandenong. The second driveway was through double wooden gates in a high paling fence that ran from McCrae Street, along Power and into New Street, where it finished just past the high wire-netting tennis court fence. This paling fence enclosed what we called Langley’s paddock.

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society subject of war patriotic funds, the war council did not contemplate any action against the continuance of existing Red Cross or patriotic committees, or interference with the funds which they may have collected, nor was it contemplated that the existing committees should require to obtain authority either of the War Council or of mayors or presidents to continue their good works. A motion was carried not to interfere in the Red Cross committee, as they had done well and mange the work better than the council. Instead of the public meeting, the council thought they would keep faith with the public by giving them a picture show.

20 years ago 13 May 1996 Ethnic mix grows Springvale has the state&rsquo;s highest rate of migrant settlement and Dandenong is in the top 10, according to a new report released last week by the Office of Ethnic Affairs. Springvale received 4479 migrants between 1991 and 1995 and Dandenong received 1945. In the past four years, Victoria accepted 35,790 migrants on humanitarian grounds. &ldquo;Newly-arrived migrants face two big hurdles &ndash; finding accommodation and employment,&rdquo; Springvale Commu-

nity Aid and Advice Bureau manager Teresa Bednall said. She said Springvale was a favoured area for settlement because race relations were &ldquo;relatively good&rdquo; and there was an abundance of unskilled jobs.

Street spate of stranger danger By GEORGIA WESTGARTH Pedestrians are being bashed, lied to and robbed by thieves at new and disturbing rates across the south-east. The threat of stranger danger is peaking in Casey, and Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Darren Hedge, from the Casey Crime Investigation Unit, said “it’s scary”. “But you can’t ask people to stop walking the streets,” Sen Sgt Hedge said. In just 16 days, four violent aggravated street robberies and attempts at stealing a pedestrian’s phone, wallet or electrical goods were reported to Casey police officers. A daylight bashing left a man with severe injuries in Cranbourne after he was stopped to ask for directions on Saturday 23 April at 2.30pm. The Good Samaritan was punched to the back of the head, kicked and wrestled to the ground, before the offender stole his wallet and phone and sped off in a waiting car. Sen Sgt Hedge said the violent nature of the kerb side attacks is “alarming”. “There is certainly a spate of them going on what it’s attributed to who knows.” Another male was taken advantage of by a passing motorist in Berwick on Wednesday 27 April. The pedestrian had his phone snatched from his hands while making a phone call on behalf of the offender who told him he had lost his dog. Sen Sgt Hedge’s response to the good-natured victims was their unquestioning nature. “I guess people are trusting and don’t think that these people who are asking for assistance are going to turn on them and rob them,” he said. “People would like to believe they can still walk the streets alone and help someone in need without fear of being robbed.” But the brazen criminals continued to pounce

in May, targeting an 18-year-old man near the Berwick railway station. A trio of crooks demanded the victim’s wallet and phone after putting him a headlock on Sunday 8 May, about 1.30am. The teenager handed over his possessions and called police. The spike in drive-by robberies have occurred throughout late April and early May and Sen Sgt Hedge called the incidence “relative to other issues” police face in the south-east. “I’m not going to say they are Apex gang-related, but we are experiencing an increase in car thefts, aggravated burglaries and street robberies across the board,” he said. “And the Casey CIU along with a taskforce out of Dandenong investigate these connections and types of offending.” A more recent street side attempted robbery involved a gun in Cranbourne South. A man described as “dark skinned” by witnesses threatened two men with a gun and a knife on Sunday 8 May about 1.40am. The attempted armed robbery occurred on the corner of Camms Road and the South Gippsland Highway and the two male victims managed to run toward the Settlement Hotel unscathed. The offender, described as muscly with dark hair demanded the wallets and phones of the 26 and 25-year-old males. Sen Sgt Hedge said one of the only things pedestrians could do was to be mindful of their surroundings. “Some of these places aren’t even dim or dark; they are busy streets with security cameras near. “Both young and older people are targeted and the only thing to layer between these is that they are picking vulnerable people who are often walking alone.”

Scott and Glenn de Jong with their racing-striped Corolla during the rally. 154073

It may be sh*t but it’s done us proud By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS You've got to wonder what could be fun about nursing a 26-year-old Corolla for a 3000-plus kilometre trip across Australia. Narre Warren brothers Scott and Glenn de Jong - or team What’s A Spark Plug - had been on the waiting list for several years to enter the car on the Shitbox Rally. The annual event pits 200 ‘shitboxes’ - each costing less than $1000 and dressed up with designs such as Thunderbirds themes and blow-up dragons. The rally cruises south along the eastern seaboard from Mackay to Hobart between 7-13 May. In recent weeks, the de Jongs had to slightly upgrade from a 1988 Ford Laser because it cost too much to fix. Speaking to Star News on 10 May, the brothers said their Corolla, touched up with a navy-blue

paint job and a racing stripe, was proving a stayer. It had been driven up to Mackay and successfully made it at least half-way back down the eastern seaboard - a total of 5400km. Some rally-goers haven’t been so lucky. One car in their buddy group truly lived up to its shitbox billing by breaking a fan belt four kilometres into the event. After its repair, it only lasted another 150km. But these setbacks are all part of the fun, as is camping out during a typical tropical-Queensland drenching. The team watched their tennis shoes literally float out their tent during the 44mm downpour. What’s a Sparkplug has raised $4000 for the cause through Bunnings barbecues, a raffle and a Rotary Club talk. And they say they’re “99 per cent sure” the Corolla will make it to the finish.

$50,000 bail for breaking order By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A Narre Warren North man has been bailed on a $50,000 surety over allegedly persistent intervention breaches against his ex-wife. The man, 45, had been accused of multiple breaches involving unwanted touching, making sexual advances, following and surveilling the protected partner for five months up until his arrest on 21 April, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told. He had been in custody for the past 19 days which had been a “wake-up call” for him, his lawyer told the court on 9 May. The self-employed man’s business was losing $1200 a day in the meantime, the court was told. The lawyer argued the prosecution case was weak and that the allegations were made in the background of a family law dispute. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted the man allegedly manipulated the couple’s son to follow the victim around the house and question her on his behalf. At the same time, the man was on the other end of the son’s phone. Mr Vandersteen warned the man not to try to “jam” the children’s heads with ideas against their mother. “When parents separate, if there’s not stability

it impacts on (the children’s) behaviour and interaction with their friends. “I can’t think of one child I’ve seen in the children’s court that comes from a stable home.” The man asked the judge to help him get his eldest son back at school. “I can’t,” Mr Vandersteen said. “Now you’re seeing what I’m talking about.” Mr Vandersteen said the man had been convicted and fined twice over “lower end” intervention order breaches against the same victim in 2012 and 2015. The man had been the subject of five intervention orders. Mr Vandersteen was satisfied the time in custody was a “salient” experience for the man of his age. Bail conditions included a static address, daily reporting to police, complying with the intervention order and not contacting his ex-wife “on any basis at all”. “You’re absolutely going to comply at the strictest level ... or you’re in custody until the matter is resolved.” The $50,000 surety was provided by the man’s father, who told the court he owned his own house. The man next appears at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 20 May.

No sweat in botched bid to rob taxi A man sprayed deodorant in a taxi driver’s face during an attempted armed robbery in Dandenong. The driver picked up the 25-year-old Dandenong man from Dandenong railway station about 10.45pm on Thursday 5 May. The passenger demanded cash while the car was on Herbert Street and threatened the driver with a deodorant can. He then sprayed the victim and slapped him in

the face. “There’s been a scuffle in the vehicle after that,” Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said. “The victim has been assisted by another vehicle that’s stopped after seeing the scuffle in the car.” The would-be robber was restrained until officers from Dandenong arrested him. They charged him with attempted armed robbery.

EACH reach for family mental health By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS The stark odds are that in every classroom, one in five children has a parent with mental illness. Community health organisations Windermere Child and Family Services and EACH offer a support program that helps destigmatise mental health in primary schools in Melbourne’s south east. EACH regional manager Lisa Gort said that the Supporting Kids in Primary Schools (SKIPS) program provides a “language” to understand and talk about the issue. “If you’ve got a mum dying with cancer, the school community understands it,” Ms Gort said. “But if mum or dad has mental health issues and you’re not getting to school on time, that’s a harder thing to understand. “Sometimes we’re well physically and unwell mentally. The question is how we support parents and children in this situation.”

The program is an early-intervention model working in classrooms, parent info sessions and workshops for teachers. The topic is broached directly, demythologised by speakers who have “lived experience”. It gives tools for schools and parents to support children and families affected by mental illness. “Studies show where there’s a parent with a mental illness that there’s a high possibility that their child has a similar disposition. “If there’s not that support there’s a high chance they may go on and have a mental issue of their own.” The EACH program has so far been held in more than a dozen Casey-Cardinia primary schools including Cranbourne Park, Cranbourne West, Rangebank and Garfield. The program, which receives no government funding, is limited to two schools at a time. Details from EACH on 8781 9500.

The White Ribbon cause means more to one Casey family than ever before. Casey councillor Wayne Smith and his family rallied the Hallam Football Club over the weekend in honour of slain domestic violence campaigner Karen Belej. The Smith family are relatives of Ms Belej who was allegedly murdered in her Cardross home, south-east of Mildura on Sunday 1 May. And they were touched by the local support for White Ribbon Australia. “The whole club and its officials wore white armbands at Saturday’s game,” Cr Smith said. “And they went on to a massive team win against the Dandenong Redlegs.” It was Cr Smith’s son, Kieran who organised the club’s support of White Ribbon Australia, and it was Ms Belej’s family and friends who started what became a state-wide tribute at weekend sporting games.

“A Facebook page called ‘White armbands for Karen’ was set up and many clubs throughout Victoria got on board - we are very proud,” Cr Smith said. A tin rattle on Hallam’s game day collected more than $100 for White Ribbon Australia and Cr Smith hopes more money will be raised by the Hallam hawks at the next local footy clash. “I watched the game and when I heard someone asking why the players had white armbands on I’d walk over and explain,” Cr Smith said. “It makes it personal. “I see the White Ribbon campaign differently now because I know a real story and it hits others personally as well when you talk about it.” Ms Belej’s boyfriend at the time of her killing is facing a murder charge. Ms Belej was an active white ribbon advocate and worked for the Mildura Rural City Council. Her body was found by police around 7.30pm on the Sunday night.

Waiting lists for family violence programs for men are mirroring Casey’s high domestic abuse rates. Casey Family Violence Unit head Sergeant Ian Lane said waiting lists for some men’s behavioural change programs (MBCP) in Casey are at seven to eight months. “That means we have to wait up to eight months to even start to see a change in the behaviours of men,” Sgt lane said. “Casey is number one for repeated incidents of family violence in the state - and changing men’s behaviour is key.” South-east Melbourne, Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV) manager Erika Owens said their change programs were in high demand in Casey. “We offer a 14-week structured program for men who have been violent and controlling towards their family and now want to change,” Ms Owens said. The RAV programs run out of locations in Narre Warren and Dandenong and this financial year 175 men have been through the program. Ms Owens said an increasing proportion of men attending RAV’s user pays programs are being directed through the courts. “Our program involves participants who are voluntarily attending as well as participants who have been directed to an MBCP through a court order,” she said. RAV’s programs are subsidised by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) but participants must contribute $20 per session. Ms Owen didn’t comment on RAV waiting lists but said the high demand in Casey was dealt with via “periodic intake periods”. “When intake is opened enough names are usually taken within three weeks to fill a group,” she said.

Faith in diversity By CASEY NEILL New arrivals gained a taste of Greater Dandenong’s diversity and formed community connections through tours to places of worship. Greater Dandenong Interfaith Network development officer Helen Heath said the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship (OMAC) and Greater Dandenong Council funded four bus trips. The network regularly runs similar tours for the general public with outings scheduled for Wednesdays 8 June, 10 August, 12 October and 14 December. “One of the initial aims of the interfaith tours program was to train asylum seekers or refugees as volunteer tour guides, providing an opportunity to be positively engaged in social activities while learning about different faiths and in turn teaching others about their own,” she said. “However, this proved a challenging task in just encouraging participants to join these tours. “So the focus shifted to conducting tours and

trying to encourage diverse groups of participants to join in.” Part of the funding included filmmaker Richard Leigh attending the tours to share stories from participants. “The aim of the film primarily is to educate the community about the challenge of being a new arrival, particularly as an asylum seeker or refugee in the local Dandenong area, and for participants to feel free and able to tell their stories,” Ms Heath said. On the first tour on 12 November were eight Burmese women and their three small children, and four Afghan community members. “Everyone seemed to enjoy the time and by the end of the tour had met and engaged with new people - both each other on the bus and the communities that welcomed them - and had learnt something of the different faiths, food and culture of those two communities in the City of Greater Dandenong,“ Ms Heath said. Call 8774 7662 or email interfaithofficer@interfaithnetwork.org.au to book a tour.

SPINAL HEALTH WEEK -MEDICALLY SPEAKING

MINARET College students got a local government lesson from a man very much in the know. In his mayoral robes and chain, Greater Dandenong mayor Heang Tak visited the Keysborough school on Monday 2 May to address year six students about the three levels of government, speaking particularly about councils. Student Anisa said the talk was very informative and that she appreciated learning about local government from the mayor himself. She was most intrigued by the fact that the gold mayoral chain featured the names of the previous mayors. KEYSBOROUGH Learning Centre is looking for volunteer English tutors. They’ll be paired with a student to help them to learn the language and generally understand the Australian way of life. Tutors don’t need any previous teaching experience or a second language, and receive support training. Call 9798 7005 or email info@klckeys. com.au for more information or to get involved. A NOBLE Park student has claimed an award

from the Premier for her studies. Erika Genota decided to take Filipino as a VCE subject because she thought it would be convenient. It’s her mother tongue and the Victorian School of Languages (VSL) was close to home. On Thursday 28 April at a Crown Palladium ceremony, a Premier’s VCE Study Award for achieving the top score in the subject further vindicated her decision. The VSL and Erika’s teachers and parents hope the award will further motivate her to succeed in her VCE studies and her path towards studying a bachelor of science or nursing. “I am hoping that I can inspire others... so that our language does not die,” she said. IT SEEMED like someone swallowed the angry pills prior to Dandenong Magistrates’ Court sitting on 9 May. After unloading on a police prosecutor, a fired-up man was given his marching orders from a case consultation. The man was apparently facing a charge of steroid possession.

Volunteers provide hospital’s lifeblood At St John of God Berwick Hospital the volunteer workforce is a vital part of the daily operations. Volunteer roles provide support to caregivers in most areas of the hospital, including clerical support in the form of assembling packages of information for mail-outs, serving refreshments to patients attending the new Day Oncology Unit, providing a courier service between departments, and supporting caregivers in the clinical areas of the hospital. Lisa Norman, CEO at St John of God Berwick Hospital said: “Our volunteers are energetic, passionate and caring. “Many choose to volunteer at the hospital after being a patient here or have had a loved one attend the hospital as a patient. “It’s heart-warming that they wish to ‘give back’ to help others and, of course, we are immensely grateful that they do.” 10 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 16 May, 2016

Debbie Bracker regularly volunteers at the Day Oncology Centre. “I’ve never regretted a minute. It feels so good to put a smile on someone’s face and help them feel better.” Gillian Coyle, co-ordinator of Volunteer Services said: “We have a fantastic group of people with a diverse range of skills and life experience who offer their time and services to the hospital. “Their contribution greatly enhances the personal care we provide to our patients,” she said. The hospital’s volunteer program has increased its numbers significantly, including a number of students and young mums. St John of God Berwick Hospital would like to thank all of the volunteers who contribute and donate their time to the hospital.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Potty about Mother’s Day plants Roy Schirmer is still as passionate about potting as when he started Karinga Nursery more than 40 years ago. The Keysborough business sends out about 750,000 plants each year, including 150,000 chrysanthemums for Mother’s Day. Roy’s mum wasn’t among those to receive one of the blooms – she’s seen more than her fair share over the years. “Mum’s 90 years old, and she still works with us,” he said. She was a factory worker when Roy convinced his dad to buy land on Keys Road to grow the business and invited her to join the team. Family friend Bill Gilchrist, then aged 83, had harnessed an 18-year-old Roy’s passion for potting, inviting him to start a nursery with him in 1973. “We had a small glasshouse area where we grew some cuttings and shrubs,” he said. “Then I proceeded with contacting some supermarkets in those days. “We, after I was there for a couple of years, had some big orders from Kmart and Coles and Woolworths. “I told my dad we needed to buy some land. “We bought this land here. We sold our little house in East Bentleigh – we sold the house for $17,000 and bought this for $39,000. “My dad, he used to work down at the wharf as a supervisor. In the mornings, we potted plants. In the afternoon he would go to work.” Roy was 21 when they moved onto the Keys Road paddock. “There were a couple of nurseries closing down. We bought two glasshouses for $50,” he said. “The glasshouse was one thing, but we needed some plastic igloos. “We were very short on cash, so we used to buy lengths of pipe and bend them around an old tank and put them in the ground.

“We never had money for wood, so we dug a trench and put the plastic in the ground. “We never had money for a door, so we wrapped up a piece of plastic around a stick and put it on two three-inch nails.

“We started with nothing but passion. “I was a little kid at the market with my broken-down truck just selling my little pot-plants in the rain.” Roy did an apprenticeship at a technical

school, but said talking was the key to growing his knowledge to match his passion. “You learn more from chatting than reading books, almost, and being on-site with people who could show you what to do,” he said. Roy has a 10-strong team, plus calls in casual workers from the local area to help out during peak seasons. The nursery spans five acres. “The size we are, it’s a size that can be managed and we’re happy with that size, as a family unit,” he said. Karinga specialises in four ‘events’, Roy said, Mother’s Day being the biggest. “Following that we go to spring where we grow tomatoes and popular shrubs, passionfruit and lavenders,” he said. “Then Christmas we grow the poinsettia for supermarkets, and then Valentines’ Day pot roses.” Karinga is one of only two main poinsettia growers in Victoria. “We sell about 100,000 at Christmas in Victoria and South Australia,” he said. “It’s a European and American thing. “In the northern hemisphere, the days are getting shorter approaching Christmas. “The poinsettia are what we call a short-day plant, which means they initiate their flower buds when the days get shorter. “But in the southern hemisphere, approaching Christmas the days are getting longer. “We need to completely manipulate the environment by having artificially extended days, extended lights, when they’re planted, and then we have blackout screens to shorten the day length. “I like all crops, and the challenge of growing crops each year and getting the plants as perfect as you can.”

Chippy is getting her career nailed By CASEY NEILL Danielle Kazi-Shedden is doing things a little differently and picking up plenty of awards along the way. The Cranbourne 24-year-old will speak about her pathway from VCE to her carpentry career at the Smart Manufacturing ’16 symposia on Tuesday 17 May. The Drum Theatre will host presentations throughout the day as part of the expo-style event that will take over Dandenong’s CBD to promote the region’s capability and capacity. “I just started in 2009 when I didn’t really know what I was going to do and had no real direction with my career path or anything like that,” she said. “I did all my exams in year 12 and didn’t get the results I wanted. I didn’t really care about anything back then. “I ended up being unemployed for nine

months after that.” Danielle eventually landed a job at Jayco in Dandenong South and over the next three years tried her hand at several different roles. “I came out with a joinery/carpentry sort of interest. From there I was looking for an apprenticeship and found this shop-fitting role with Whytehall.” Last year she went to her first awards night with Chisholm and won the TAFE’s Building and Construction Apprentice of the Year. “I was a little bit in shock at the time, it didn’t really sink in.” It all happened again this year. “I won the Chisholm Building and Construction Apprentice of the Year again and the overall Apprentice of the Year. I also won the CEO’s award,” Danielle said. “It’s provided me with a lot more opportunities and different directions that I want to go with my career now.”

The home has top of the range solar panels and been rendered and ofers 4 bedrooms, and large living and entertainment areas.

Everyone agrees that the kitchen is the heart of the home, which is why Inspired Homes designs its houses so that all of the living areas radiate out of this heart. The Inspired Homes signature design angles the kitchen so that it does not face a side fence but instead positions the kitchen to look directly through to the alfresco living area. Inspired kitchens are designed with the modern chef in mind. Generous bench space and luxury fittings as standard mean that it is not only functional but is the perfect kitchen for the sophisticated entertainer. All Inspired kitchens are set up well for large-scale cooking and entertaining. An optional butler’s pantry provides a separate preparation and wash-up area to keep the main kitchen tidy while entertaining guests. As standard, Inspired Homes kitchens feature 20mm Caesarstone benchtops, soft close drawers, a Smeg 900mm stainless steel upright cooker and a Smeg rangehood. For a limited time buyers can receive $26,000 of additional upgrades across the entire house for only $8,999 with the Everything Including the Kitchen Sink promotion. Inclusions feature a Smeg stainless steel fridge freezer with ice-maker, grand island bench of 1200mm x 40mm, 20 LED downlights, Butler’s Pantry cabinetry and much more. Experience the luxury of not simply choosing a layout from a catalogue but rather creating your own unique home around the central kitchen, living, dining and alfresco areas. Using the Inspired modular design system that divides floor plans into three parts

(front, middle, and back) means that buyers can create their your own individual layout. The Home Creator Tool on Inspired Homes’ website brings this modular design system to life to allow buyers to play with floor plans like a jigsaw puzzle to get the creative process started. They can further customise their design with managing director and designer Andrew Stickley in a series of design meetings. Here the designer’s pen hits the paper to produce an individualised family home to suit exact needs. Anyone interested is invited to visit Inspired Homes to experience refreshingly different living, putting the heart of the home right where it should be! Inspired Homes is at 3-5 Serene Way, Clyde North, in the Berwick Waters Estate. Phone 1300 HOMES (1300 046 637) or visit www.inspiredhomes.com.au.

Welcome from the Committee for Dandenong Welcome to this special lift-out edition for Smart Manufacturing 16. Dandenong CBD’s streets and Civic Centre are being taken over by train, caravans, buses and other locally manufactured products in a show of strength for Australia’s largest and most innovative manufacturing centre. Smart Manufacturing 16 is Dandenong and South East Melbourne on show bringing together local manufacturers, councils, researchers and educators in an expo-style one-day event showcasing the capability and capacity of the region. The event is being staged by the Committee for Dandenong with key partners SEMMA (South East Melbourne Manufacturing Alliance) and the City of Greater Dandenong. Support from Platinum Partners; CSIRO, Chisholm, City of Kingston, Casey Cardinia Region, Jayco, Macpherson Kelley, Bombardier and the Bank of Melbourne, has been crucial in creating this event and growing the future of manufacturing. Supported by State Government representatives including Victorian Minister for Industry, Energy and Resources the Hon Lily D’Ambrosio and State Member for Dandenong Gabrielle Williams MP, the event will demonstrate the vibrancy and successes of the region while tackling the misconception that the manufacturing industry in Victoria is declining. The vision of the initiative, which is manifested in the showcase, is to ensure that the region becomes a magnet for investment into the Victorian economy. This is the centre for manufacturing excellence in Australia, and on an international level.

Gary Castricum, Chair of Committee for Dandenong

Manufacturing is clever, clean and critical to our nation. Dandenong and Melbourne’s South East is home to more than 90,000 manufacturing jobs and 5,000 enterprises and produces more than half of Victoria’s manufacturing output. The event’s highlight is a FREE all-day Symposia, offering sessions that explore in-depth what innovation, advanced manufacturing, R&D, education and commercialisation means to businesses, the workforce and future outlook. A keynote address will be delivered by Shadow Minister for Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Industry, Senator Kim Carr. We trust you will enjoy Smart Manufacturing 16.

Ribbon win is his crowning glory By CASEY NEILL A Springvale pageant fanatic finally got his own time to shine - and sashayed away with a crown and ribbon. Hung Pham, 21, was recently crowned Mr Diamond Australia. The pageant is new to Australia and celebrates “the beauty and diversity of individuality”. “It doesn’t judge on height, experience or sizes so I think it’s a fair go for anyone that competes,” Hung said. “I just wanted to tick it off my bucket list. “I’ve watched Miss Universe since I was little and these days I watch every single pageant that you can ever name.” Hung has assisted and volunteered at pageants but said being on stage was “an adrenaline rush”. “There was your typical rounds - your resort wear or swimwear and your eveningwear as well,” he said. “But the most important part of any pageant is your final question.” Hung answered ‘what is your chosen charity and why?’ with a twist. “I wanted to be different among all the other six contestants that we had for the male round,” he said. “I chose a charity and a mission. “The charity that I represented was the Cancer Council of Victoria. “I’ve been with the charity for five years now doing lots of event work and fund-raising work. I didn’t raise a lot of money but I did spread a lot of awareness.” His mission builds on his work as an ambassador for The Happiness Mission, established by My Kitchen Rules contestants Carly and Tresne

Mr Diamond Australia Hung Pham jumps for joy. 153206 Picture: ROB CAREW to provide health and wellbeing programs for schools and businesses. “The main thing that I want to be involved more in is to go out to primary schools and secondary schools to promote health and wellbeing and after leaving school, what they will experience in the real world,” he said. “I really want to tell them that when they get out of high school that they have got the whole world open to them.

“They can do whatever they want to do, even if their goal is set up very high like me they can achieve it. “It takes a lot of confidence, passion and determination to get where you want to be.” His lofty goal? “To hopefully one day work for the Miss Universe organisation in America. If not, then I would love to work for IMG models in New York,” he said.

Hung has established his own events company called Style Runway Australia. “I like to interact with the public, I like customer service,” he said. “I have a very happy and bubbly personality that sometimes I can’t keep down.” He’s already stashing money aside so he can represent Australia at the world Mr Diamond contest next year, after hearing a whisper it could be taking place in the UK.

SPORT Charis embraces the hard yards By JARROD POTTER Never taking a backwards step, Parkmore’s Charis Ulu Peniata made a brand of hard-edged, unrelenting football her signature this week. Ulu Peniata, 16, has taken Victorian football by storm this year - her first playing the national game. For a girl less than 18 months into her football career as a whole - whether locally, in the Academy program or now in the national championship winning side - her journey so far has been amazing. From Parkmore Youth Girls in the South East Juniors and onto the Sandringham Dragons’ Youth Girls Academy, Ulu Peniata’s potential was immediately visible as she charged through the midfield and shrugged off tackles left, right and especially through the centre. These performances earned her a call up to the Vic Metro ranks for the national championships - and she seized that opportunity firmly, as Ulu Peniata was sent down back and given some of the hardest team tasks. Not only did she take the challenges on, but she dominated them - setting aside the rest of the country’s best forwards as she ran everything out of the back-line. Ulu Peniata became renowned for not rushing behinds - despite standing centimetres away from the opposition goal-line under immense pressure. But she would harness that burden and turn it into her greatest strengths - surging through pack, sidestepping opponents or just throwing them off her if they dared to tackle her. “It’s great - it’s actually the first time (winning a national championship) and I’m just really happy,” Ulu Peniata said. “It’s only been one year - everything about it is really different and I’m just so surprised that I made it this far.” Where does her tenacity and determination come from? Home. “Lost for words right now - I don’t know - I think it just runs in the family,” she said. Ulu Peniata wanted to thank friends and family for their support of her football ambitions. “Like to thank my best friend’s family, without

“She’s come from nowhere, but continues to grow and develop and could be anything in the next two years if she continues to improve her football,” Siekman said. “As you saw she could have easily conceded a couple of points a couple of times, but she hates losing and hates giving the opposition any sort of advantage - and she’d rather break a tackle on the goal-line than to rush it and give them a point.

Rangers alumnus takes his skills to South Australia By JARROD POTTER AND JACK BAILEY Welcome back Anthony Drmic to Australian basketball after the Dandenong Rangers alumnus signed on with the Adelaide 36ers this week. The 198cm guard/forward has booked his ticket home for the summer NBL season, but it won’t be to Melbourne. Instead Drmic, 24, from Endeavour Hills, is off to South Australia after signing a two-year deal to play locally instead of chasing contracts in Europe. “Signing with Adelaide was an easy choice for me - I feel like I will be able to join and contribute right away especially with how the team is run and there style of play,” Drmic said. “I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do after the college season but after considering a few different things I decided having my first year back home would be most beneficial for me. “I’m really looking forward to coming back and showing how I have grown as a player to the Australian basketball scene - it feels like I have been away for so long and that I have something to prove.” From beating 11th ranked Creighton to dropping 34 points against LSU in front of monster Idahoan crowds at Taco Bell Arena, Drmic’s time in the Bronco’s jersey had its ups and downs but he tends to look back on the better moments instead of the injuries that hampered his five-year stint. Finishing his fifth and final year at Boise State University, Drmic rattled off 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game - plus his usual bucketload of treys - to finish the school’s all-time leading three point record holder (275).

Anthony Drmic, right, has chosen the next stop on his world-wide basketball journey to be with the Adelaide 36ers. Picture: BOISE STATE MEDIA RELATIONS The two-three man finished only two points off the school’s all-time points record and ended up fifth overall in the Mountain West Conference’s all-time scoring list to cap off an extraordinary college career. It was made all the more amazing considering Drmic was hampered by a nerve injury throughout the season but he said it should ease up in time for his NBL debut. “This last season was an interesting one for

me, I ended up have a rare complication during surgery and sustained nerve damage in my leg which, in all honesty, hindered me this entire season,” Drmic said. “It is, however, getting stronger and stronger and I expect it to be 100 per cent by the time the NBL season rolls around. “I am just glad I was able to play and contribute anyway I could my last year at Boise.”

“She followed the decisions to spoil the footy and don’t think she was beaten once - in the grand final we played her on Bartlett from WA, who was the leading goal kicker of the tournament before the grand final, and she didn’t get a kick. “That’s in a nutshell what Charis did in the week - go onto the leading goal kicker and refuse to let her have a touch.”

Keen to get in the swing Returning to the state ranks wiser and more experienced, Dandenong cricketer Sophie Molineux can’t wait to don the VicSpirit top once again. Molineux’s break-out 2015/16 made her an irresistible prospect for Cricket Victoria, which signed her up for her second season with the state women’s squad. The Bairnsdale 18-year-old off-spinning all-rounder featured prominently for the Melbourne Renegades in the Women’s Big Bash League, captained and earning a spot in the Governor-General’s XI and captained the Victorian under-18s to a national championship victory. She also smashed her maiden first XI century early last season to kick things off in the Dandenong colours. For these reasons and more the Lions’ all-rounder received the good news of her VicSpirit re-selection last week and was pumped to get another chance at a state debut. “It feels amazing - words really can’t describe how much it means to me and I’m really excited for what’s to come,” Molineux said. “Hopefully, I can learn a lot and if the games come, they come, but, hopefully, I can take away a lot of knowledge.” 39 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 16 May, 2016

Endeavour Hills SFL finals hopes are alive By JARROD POTTER GREATER DANDENONG FOOTBALL REVIEW - ROUND 6 PROVING the old adage, Endeavour Hills showed South Yarra on Saturday that it isn’t over til it’s over. With the wind at their back in the final term, the Falcons had to overcome a 21-point deficit and a difficult day on the park against the fourthranked Lions. Nothing was going right for the hosts through the first 10 minutes of the last and that would’ve been enough for most sides to chuck the cue in the rack, but the Falcons had one last push left in them. With Endeavour Hills coach Steve Muscat believing the side’s season was on the line, the final attack began in earnest through a careless 50-metre penalty from South Yarra. It gave Daniel Strom a difficult set-shot but the defender delivered - cutting the margin to 14. It went back up the Lions’ end as the visitors booted their last - after a free kick was given in their square - to open up a 20-point lead. Mitch Whatman (five goals) was the Falcon who stood up next and stood out the most as he became the game-changer late in the clash. He was only up forward for the windward quarters, but in that brief period he delivered. Whatman roosted the second of the term straight through the uprights from the tip of the arc then a reversed free and 50-metre penalty gave Whatman his second of the term to slice the gap. Byron Hoe made a crucial intercept mark and booted it to the square where ... guess who ... Whatman was at the fall of the ball to snap another goal and bring it back to a two-point ball game. But that wasn’t the last of him - the highlights package needed a fourth-and-final Whatman moment as he found himself on the end of a longbomb from Matthew Peake, snapping truly to push the side ahead with a minute or so remaining. South Yarra scrambled in the dying seconds, but it was too late as the Falcons roosted it long again where Nathan Crutchley booted the matchsealer to give Endeavour Hills an amazing comefrom-behind 11-point triumph. “We looked like we could’ve kicked another in the end,” Muscat said. “It was just the belief - we had the breeze and we made some changes in the last five minutes - not saying they worked, but we got over the line so we’ll claim it.” The coach thought Jake Van Hoesel, Jarryd Burke and Matt Cram stood tall all day as well as the man of the moment Whatman. Moving up to sixth, Endeavour Hills has a two-week break before its Saturday night showdown with Hallam away on 28 May. In other SFL results, Springvale Districts had a heart-breaking two-point loss to Chelsea Heights. Trailing at the final break by a point, the Demons couldn’t jag the match winner to just fall short.

Endeavour Hills’ Scott Dinsdale gets moving in the third term fighting the Lions. 154248 Picture: JARROD POTTER Todd Wills and Billy Green were Springvale’s best on. Keysborough held off the winless Black Rock to take a 27-point win to push itself up to sixth. Danny Morland (two goals) kept racking up the touches while Jake Dunn, Geoff Humphreys and Matt Downie starred alongside him. Sandown and Hallam’s match was called off in the fourth term after a brawl erupted on the sidelines. Hallam was 80 points ahead when the incident happened and was awarded the win. Doveton Eagles thrashed Dandenong 17.23 (125) to 3.5 (23). Rounding out SFL results, Lyndale was beaten similarly by Mount Waverley 5.8 (38) to 21.10 (136). In the VAFA, St John’s skipper Glenn Costas had a field day - racking up 60 touches - as the

JOCS brutalised Richmond Central 26.12 (168) to 5.9 (39). Starring up forward for the JOCS were Tim Edwards (nine goals) and Aaron Thornton (six goals) while Corey Ely also featured in the best. On the inverse, Masala was flogged by Eley Park 9.13 (67) to 24.15 (159). Nick Cunningham and Jesse Yarde were best for the Tigers. Noble Park finished off North Ringwood in the end, taking a 30-point win over the visitors at Moodemere St. Kyle Martin, Ben Giobbi and Musa Amin also featured in the best. Dandenong Stingrays’ unbeaten TAC Cup run came to an end on the road this week, downed by Murray Bushrangers 9.9 (63) to 9.13 (67). Mitch McCarthy, Mason De Wit and Matt La Fontaine and Sam Fowler (three goals) were the best.

Cougars clutch late BIG V win By JARROD POTTER BIG V - ROUND 8 TAKING the war to the Warriors after quarter time, Keysborough fought through the front lines to snatch a 70-54 victory on Pakenham’s home court. The bottom-placed Warriors didn’t let their position dictate their output as they flew out of the blocks. Keysborough was left in Pakenham’s wake as it could only muster 11 points - on 26 per cent shooting. In contrast, the flying Warriors nailed 21 in the opening term on the back of four big treys to set the stage early for the hosts. But from there Keysborough didn’t take the foot off the pedal and fought bravely to make their way back into the BIG V clash. 2016’s new-look Cougars line-up continued to impress as it started to get into gear against Pakenham. The chase was on as Genevieve Abbott (27 points, 11 rebounds) and Sarah Collins (19 points, 12 rebounds) burdened the workload. The duo stepped up when the going got its roughest and nailed a pair of strong double-doubles to intimidate the Warriors at either end of the court. Strongly aided under the ring by forward Lucinda Johnson (six points, seven rebounds) and Jessica Cathcart (two points, seven rebounds), who toiled all night for the visitors - the tables started to turn in Keysborough’s favour. The trip down the Princes Highway finally seemed worthwhile for the Cougars in the third term, as the visiting BIG V side opened up Pakenham’s defences early. They slammed the Warriors from every direction in a 26-12 quarter to change the lead, before the visitors sealed the deal in the last to escape with the 16-point victory. The win pushes Keysborough up to sixth in BIG V Division 2, just outside the finals’ bound top-five. The Cougars men and women face Melbourne University away on Saturday night. For Keysborough’s women, it’s a chance to jump inside the top five and potentially make its way towards an inaugural finals campaigww After the Journal went to print on Sunday, Keysborough’s men headed up the bush to face Warrnambool while Dandenong clashed against Canberra at home. The Rangers head to Bendigo this upcoming weekend to battle the Braves.

Dandy Thunder unbeaten via “Bang Bang” Barnes By JARROD POTTER NPL VICTORIA 2 EAST - ROUND 12 SIX of the best flew past the Eastern Lions on Saturday night as Dandenong Thunder’s NPL 2 East rampage continued unabated. After a cagey start, Thunder’s staggering NPL 2 East momentum cranked up once again as Brandon Barnes (12’, 26’, 27’, 80’) stole the show. There’s no other way to describe his domination of the Eastern defences to snare the double hattrick - from his first touch up forward he scattered the Lions. Barnes slotted his first from a free-kick, after he was taken down carelessly, before ramming home two goals in two minutes to have a hat-trick in his pocket after only 28 minutes. The Englishman didn’t just terrorise the Lions through the first half though; his rampage paid dividends to everyone around him as his almostassists fed chances to the other strikers in a beguiling performance. Barnes added his fourth - his 18th of the season so far in only nine games - late in the clash

and the coach couldn’t be happier with the striker’s ability to deliver week-in, week-out. “It’s fantastic for him as he did come late on in our pre-season - I think now he’s really finding his rhythm,” Thunder coach Huss Skenderovic said. “We’re giving him really simple tasks and he executes them ... he’s got a combination of strength, speed and he’s got a left foot that’s a Rolls Royce.” Barnes’ efforts were the icing on the cake from the hard work up the ground as Kristian Sarkies, Nick Modaffari and Daniel Bennett (90’) gave him constant opportunities throughout the night. Even with the lopsided score line, goalkeeper Fraser Maclaren didn’t have it all his way in the Thunder net and had to scramble to make a couple of big saves early to maintain his clean-sheet. Faisal Sahkizada was also impressive at central defence alongside Maclaren, holding together the back end as his usual defensive partner, and former Socceroo, Simon Colosimo is currently overseas on business. While the score-line suggests domination from the first whistle, Skenderovic thought the

match lay in the balance until the Barnes’ bonanza established the buffer. Thunder has established a five-point buffer on Kingston City, but has to head off for a hard task against in-form Springvale White Eagles in the other Dandy derby. Everyone was up and about this weekend as Dandenong City and Springvale White Eagles also took huge wins across the NPL round. Gonzalo Freddi (8’, 18’, 33’) shone early for City as Shaun Filipovic, Ash Cattermole, Jarrod Blackbourn and Dario Matkovic also hit the scoreboard against Nunawading City. The nice boost in goaldifference rockets City up to fourth, trailing Box Hill United ahead of a big clash between the sides on Saturday afternoon. White Eagles’ trip to Murray was a rampage as John Pykett (12’, 60’) and Damir Stoilovic’s (15’ and 61’) race onto the score-sheet proved more exciting than the actual contest. Isaiah Joseph (37’) booted the other goal for Springvale, who now sit fifth on the ladder.

Steph Cumming not going

Panthers Speak strongly

By JARROD POTTER IT’S one thing to bring them home, but it’s another to keep them there. Dandenong Rangers have signed on one of their most important WNBL players, as Steph Cumming has decided to stick around Stud Road for the next two WNBL seasons. Cumming, 25, originally from Endeavour Hills, made her first season back at Dandenong count after two seasons on the championshipwinning Townsville roster. After a standout return to Dandenong colours - averaging 15.8 points a game and proving the backbone of the side throughout the Rangers horror run with injuries - Cumming was thrilled to stay at the place she’s called home throughout most of her junior and senior basketball career. Dandenong coach Larissa Anderson said it was crucial to keep the Rangers’ 2015/16 WNBL co-captain around, as she has played a massive part in this up-and-coming side and will only get better from here on. “It’s a huge key to success trying to keep a quality, core group together - and Steph’s a big part of that core group along with Sara (Blicavs),” Anderson said. “It’s been wonderful to keep Steph signed on for another two years - she had a captaincy role with Aimie last year and I expect that she’ll show even more improvement in that area. “She leads the way in all facets and I think she’s in career best form - probably her best WNBL season last year - everyone knows her as this fabulous, deadly offensive player, but it was great to see her get defensive player of the year as she’s worked so hard - she was rock solid all season.” Cumming featured in all 25 Rangers’ WNBL matches last season and her endeavours earned her a top-10 finish in the WNBL MVP voting as well as her place on multiple Australian Opals training squads. In other WNBL news, Dandenong has lost centre Alex Bunton for the upcoming season as she’s set to play for Dynamo Moscow in Russia.

Darren Pattinson’s Blazin Bomber lights up Sandown By MICHAEL FLOYD A WEEK after blitzing his rivals in the group 3 Bill Collins Speed Star, Blazin’ Bomber again set Sandown Park alight to set the time standard in the heats of the $145,000 group 1 HarrisonDawson. Blazin’ Bomber began well from box one and railed hard around the first bend to settle second down the back straight. He then flew by early leader Dyna Irminus to win by an increasing 6¼ lengths from Dalgetty in 29.15. “It helps when he draws well,” laughed trainer Darren Pattinson following the run. Good box draw or not, Blazin’ Bomber is in a rare vein of form having now recorded five wins from six starts since returning from injury – all in best of night time. His only loss in that time came in the group 1 Perth Cup in which he jumped from 3, the same box from which he’ll contest next Thursday night’s final. Soda Man caused the upset of the night when he took out heat 2. Soda Man began well and

Tiggerlong Await looked to be the late challenger but was no match for Soda Man who saluted at odds of $21. Trainer Correy Grenfell and a team of fans were on hand to celebrate the win. “I took him to Cannington and he struggled,”

Grenfell said. “Since then I’ve given him three weeks off to freshen him up for this series – he came out great tonight.” The Jason Thompson trained Invictus Rapid took out the third heat from Warrnambool Classic winner One For Me. A large team of owners were on track to witness the win, none more excited than George Zogoulas. Dundee Osprey returned to his sparkling best when he took out the final heat at $27.30. Despite the big odds, trainer Geoff Scott-Smith was confident his charge was ready though was aware of the enormity of the task at hand. The Harrison-Dawson is the second leg of a group 1 double on Thursday 19 May, with the final of the Sapphire Crown for the female greyhounds also to be decided. Rounding out one of the biggest night of greyhound racing on the calendar, the night will also see the heats of the $250,000 group 1 RSN927 Sandown Cup.

DANDENONG Cricket Club has brought in the big guns for 2016/17. The Panthers’ search for a replacement for Ross Woodall came to an end this week, as the club announced the appointment of former first class cricketer Nick Speak as its senior coach. Speak has the runs on the board on and off the park, having played county cricket for both Lancashire and Durham between 1986 and 2001 as well as captaining Durham in 2000. Speak’s pedigree definitely talks for itself - he featured in 177 first class matches and smashed 9692 runs and 15 centuries in his home country. Speak immigrated to Australia where in 2008 he was appointed assistant coach/batting coach at Melbourne Cricket Club. In his six years at the Demons, Speak helped them secure two first XI flags and numerous lower grade premierships and club championships. But now his attention shifts to Shepley Oval as he hopes to push the Panthers back up the ladder - after finishing 10th this season, just outside finals contention. On top of his impressive resume, Speak has already appeared at Dandenong, playing two seasons with the club prior to taking permanent residency in Australia. Speak is keen to take on the challenge of strengthening the Panthers’ first eleven. His main aim is to ensure the Dandenong Panthers once again become a serious contender in the Victorian Premier Cricket competition, especially making it back to finals and proving successful in the last stage of the season. As well as high hopes for the first XI, Speak also wants to ensure that the club sticks with player development in all grades - which as always remains a key focus. “It is exciting to have Nick return to Shepley Oval in a coaching role,” Dandenong president Michael Findlay said. “To have a cricket person of his calibre take over the good work of Ross Woodall is exactly what we were seeking. We know that Nick will reinvigorate the top two grades and develop the talent so evident through our lower grades.” Dandenong Cricket Club’s annual general meeting will be held on Wednesday night at Shepley Oval from 7.30pm.

MOTORING New tech Merc is top performer By EWAN KENNEDY

Standout style on the Mercedes A250 got plenty of favourable comments during our week’s road test. good support without being overly aggressive. The rears are on the tight side if the people in the front are tall. The adaptive suspension system, now fitted to all A-Class models, provides the sort of ride comfort that’s close to its bigger brother the C-Class. That’s in the Comfort setting, when sharpened

up by dialling in Sport it becomes a genuine hothatch to let drivers enjoy a traditional early Sunday morning drive. Some passengers may find it slightly harsh on rough roads, though. Handling through the all-wheel-drive 4Matic system is tenacious and easy to control and defies the fact that the A-Class began its life as a front-

drive family hatchback. Engine performance is excellent and the Mercedes engineers have managed to trim turbo lag to a minimum. Engage the Sport mode and it not only gives more power, but also builds downshift blips into the automatic. Love it!

Latest to join the BMW range is the 3 Series 330e petrol-electric hybrid. The 330e has a realistic range of 28 to 32 kilometres on electric power alone. BMW points out that the average commute by Australians living in metro areas is 15.6 km so it’s possible to go all week without using petrol. BMW 330e can be charged from a standard electric powerpoint in about 3.5 hours, from a dedicated BMW BMW iWallbox in 2.25 hours, or at public charging stations. There are currently 262 public charging stations Australian wide, 256 of them provide free electricity. The Wallbox is priced at $1750 plus installation costs. The 330e is heavier than the 330i but still manages to jump from zero to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. Luggage space can be increased by folding down the 40/20/60 rear seat backrests. Visually, the BMW 330e looks almost the same as any other 3 Series. Giveaways are a charging socket panel located in the left front guard and “eDrive” badges on the tailgate, engine cover and doorsill strips. On the road we found the BMW 330e hybrid smooth, quiet and comfortable. At speeds up to 30 km/h the 330e makes a discreet sound when operating on electric power only to alert pedestrians who don’t look before crossing the road. Cleverly, the hybrid’s suspension settings lean slightly more in the comfort direction when compared with the BMW 330i petrol. Thus reflecting the fact that hybrid drivers are keener on economy rather than blasting around bends. Not that the hybrid’s going to disappoint - it has a front to rear balance of 48 / 52 to the dynamics are still impressive.
