Brothers in grief CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS reports on the tragic Dandenong Ranges deaths of two Casey mates and recalls how he lost his brother in similar circumstances. “I have lost a brother in an eerily similar way. My advice to these poor families, friends and loved ones is just be there for them. Don’t be scared to ask how they are doing even though they are obviously feeling crap. Even if you can’t say a word, your help and show of support is what counts. It won’t mend what’s unfixable but will mean the world to them.” – CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS

have jokes with the teacher in automotive class. Many are willing Aaron to pull through from life support. Endeavour Hills Hawks Junior Football Club has spread wings of support around Lazlo’s family, especially his mother and club life member Louisa Nagy. Club president Steve Navarra said

Lazlo, a former Hawks player and Hallam Senior College student, was a ikeable, quiet boy who stayed out of trouble and had many friends at the club. The family was highly respected. Lazlo’s three brothers play for the Hawks and their mother was a generous contributor. “The family don’t deserve this. They

are a wonderful family,” Mr Navarra said. The day after the crash, Mr Navarra was set to join club members and friends filling the Nagy home to cook meals and console the popular family. Senior Endeavour Hills team players were resolved to wear black armbands at last weekend’s game and the junior team was to do the same and

pay a minute’s silence to Lazlo. An Endeavour Hills Hawks Junior Football club member, close to the Nagy family, said it was hard to find the words to say to the family. The cause of the crash is being investigated by the Major Collision Investigation Unit which will prepare a report for the coroner.

Oliver Kollar and Isaac Nagy, brothers in arms, at their older brothers’ shrine

1219267-KC9-16

Two good-natured Casey teenagers are dead, another is fighting for life in The Alfred after an horrific two-car crash in Kallista on 24 May. On one hand they are statistics of a 2016 road toll that refuses to buckle ‘Towards Zero’. It had soared to 122 by 26 May – 17 ahead of last year. To loved ones of Kristof Kollar, 19, and his mate Lazlo Nagy, 17, the toll is unimaginably crushing. The two died at the scene after the car they were travelling in crashed when it skidded on Monbulk Road near Grant’s Picnic Ground, collided into an oncoming 4WD and rolled down an embankment in the dark. Their passenger, Aaron Goldsmith, 18, was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with critical head injuries. Out of the catastrophe, brothers of the two late teenagers posted a defiant photo, arms around each other, in front of the crash shrine. Oliver Kollar declared on Facebook that he and Isaac Nagy both grieved for their older brothers. “You and I lost a great deal. “They left here together so today my friend and for the rest of my life you are my brother.” Earlier, Oliver delivered a mighty message via a media pack at the shrine for everyone to “cherish your family”. “Don’t be too manly to say ‘I love you’.” Tributes have poured onto social media for the pair, some of them from school friends from Gleneagles Secondary Collage, Hallam Senior College and Fountain Gate Secondary College. Kristof was described as “someone I could always count on” who helped the person who wrote the tribute to blend into their first days at a new school. His employer, Pretty’s Prime Cuts, posted that he was “such a lovely, wellmannered, all-round great kid”. Lazlo was praised as “one of the funniest and most caring blokes” who’d

Building up to collapse Botanic Homes met with administrators for nearly four weeks prior to its liquidation while at the same time appearing to hire still-unpaid tradiecontractors. The Hallam company’s director Robert Bender met with PKF Melbourne administrators about the company’s “financial position” and “insolvency options available” on 7 April, according to a PKF ‘declaration of relationships’ document. There were four further noted meetings involving Mr Bender and PKF up until 2 May. In the final two meetings, they were joined by “seven key suppliers”. On 3 May, Botanic Homes went into voluntary liquidation - owing an estimated 250 unsecured creditors, including tradie-contractors and customers, about $5 million. A tradie owed about $200,000 from the boutique home-builder recently told Star News he

had been hired on assurance of the company’s financial viability up to the day it folded. He remains unpaid for “big jobs” in April and May while, unknown to him, Botanic Homes was meeting with PKF. Customers commenting on Star News’s Facebook pages are unsure if they will get their homes or if deposits will be refunded. A couple in Timbertop estate, Officer, had the bitter-sweet good fortune of having their problem-ridden home handed over on 24 April - just days before their home would have been in the hands of receivers. “People say we are one of the lucky ones,” one of the owners said but they had to fight for six months to have shoddy installation of appliances, doors, carpet, tiles, a misplaced skylight and faulty electricals partly remedied. A tradesman working on the home during April was owed $10,000 by Botanic Homes, the couple said.

They hope that domestic builder insurance will pay for other repairs. “We were thinking how can such a reputable company be making so many mistakes?” While in talks with PKF in April, director Robert Bender was re-registered for 12 months as an unlimited domestic builder with the Victorian Building Authority. It’s understood the VBA criteria takes into account the quality of a builder’s work and their skills, but not their financial position. On 26 April, Australian Securities and Investments Commission received an application to deregister an associated company Botanic Building Group. PKF Melbourne administrator Jason Stone recently told Star News that PKF was looking into the behaviour of directors Craig Garvey and Robert Bender as part of their investigation. Mr Stone couldn’t be contacted in the past week.

A bus with advice for small business operators will stop in Endeavour Hills on 2 June. On board the Small Business Bus will be mentors who will give free expert advice in marketing, finance, human resources, senior management and sales. The bus fleet, funded by the State Government, was recently doubled to two due to a rising amount of interest. In 2015, about 1500 small businesses were given on-site mentoring - up 52 per cent. A further 5800 received help from an information officer - up 93 per cent. The bus stops at Endeavour Hills Shopping Centre car park on Heatherton Road from 10am-4pm on Thursday 2 June. Bookings for free mentoring are essential. Details at business.vic.gov.au/sbb or phone 13 22 15.

Tigers off the field as well Drum Theatre director Greg Hordacre, Hushum Juma and Diana Nguyen. 145415 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Playback Theatre and Southern Ethnic Advisory and Advocacy Council (SEAAC), which together run SeaACT. “I’ve grown up in this area and there weren’t any performing arts programs for young people when I was growing up,” she said. SeaACT started in Hampton Park in 2013 as an outlet for young refugees but has expanded to include all young people in the south-east. “It’s not just telling stories about migrant backgrounds,” Ms Nguyen said. “It’s about all young people in these areas.”

About 250 kids have participated since SeaACT’s inception, with 15 to 20 attending sessions each week. Ms Nguyen said the grant would support collaboration with the Emerging Writers Festival on a script that SeaACT would bring to the Drum Theatre stage in July next year. The Drum’s director Greg Hordacre said the project was exciting. “The Drum is looking at ways of making programs like these accessible to people in the community so they stop walking past and start coming in,” he said.

Students at Doveton’s Maranatha Christian School got some first-hand football tips from Tiger land. Richmond Football Club’s Ben Griffiths, Nathan Drummond and Jacob Townsend visited the excited school students and ran drills. Grade two to grade five classes got the special treatment and played games designed to encourage team work on and off the ground. The players held a captive audience as they provided an insight into life as an AFL player. The young cohort was encouraged to get involved in the game and told about the benefits of keeping active.

An 18-year-old Dandenong South man suffered stab wounds at Dandenong Plaza on Tuesday 24 May. Armed Crime Squad detectives arrested a 21-year-old Mulgrave man the following day and charged him with attempted armed robbery, intentionally causing serious injury and other assault-related offences. He was remanded in custody and was due to appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 26 May. The incident occurred in the stairwell on the shopping centre’s third floor, near the Aldi supermarket, about 4.25pm. New Greater Dandenong Local Area Commander Narelle Beer was among several officers at the scene, reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses. She said the victim suffered quite serious injuries to his upper body. Large blood drops stretched for several metres, stark against the white tiles. “I’m sick of Dandenong,” two women remarked as they passed the cordoned-off area. Plaza staff directed concerned shoppers and workers away from the scene and to their cars, fielding queries of “what’s happened?”. RetPro Group shopping centres general manager Kathie Osborne said Dandenong Plaza had been assisting Victoria Police with its investigation “and would like to commend the emergency services on their quick response and management of the incident”. As of Friday the victim was in a stable condition in The Alfred hospital.

A Dandenong youth theatre program can continue to nurture the south-east’s aspiring actors thanks to a grant. Hampton Park’s Hushum Juma is among SeaACT’s success stories and was thrilled with State Government VicArts Grants Program cash for a 12-month project. Creative Industries Minister Martin Foley met with SeaACT members on 18 May to announce the funding for a partnership with Melbourne Playback Theatre Company, Dandenong’s Drum Theatre and the Emerging Writers Festival. The program went on hold about six months ago after its funding ran out but will return in term four. “When we heard that SeaACT might not continue we were actually kind of devastated,” Hushum said. “We enjoyed our time at the Drum. Every time we passed by the building we wondered what happened inside. “SeaACT gave use the opportunity to come in.” Hushum, 20, developed an interest in acting about four years ago through his drama class at Hampton Park Secondary College. “SeaACT visited our school,” he said. “I was sceptical at first but I really like acting. I gave it a go. “It’s about sharing stories as a group. We creatively listen and perform stories from the audience or stories from each other while we’re rehearsing. “We have a laugh about it and enjoy ourselves. It’s just a very creative outlet.” Hushum’s participation in SeaACT confirmed his desire to make acting his career, gave him the confidence to pursue it, and led to a scholarship with Melbourne Playback Theatre Company. “With the SeaACT and Melbourne Playback I got an inside look as to what it really means to create a show,” he said. He dreams of working “all over Melbourne, all over Australia - all over the world, hopefully”. “I’m looking to move into filming, doing television and stuff. A movie would be a dream,” he said.

Looking Back 100 years ago 25 May 1916 Dandenong Red Cross League The public of Dandenong will be again afforded an opportunity of assisting the above as Mr J W Griffiths (Dandenong Picture Co) has kindly offered to give one of his first-class picture entertainments at the Town Hall on Thursday next. A special film, Jane Shore, will be screened - probably being the finest ever produced in Dandenong, and only recently imported to the state. Also good comics and scenic souvenir photos of the Jane Shore film will be offered for sale during the evening, and it is the intention of the committee to raffle a very handsome book, containing illustrations of same (now on view in Mr Griffiths window).

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society Considering the patriotic object for which the show is given and also the excellence of the programme, it is hoped that there will be a record attendance. The committee are making special arrangements whereby reserved seats will be kept for patrons the whole evening if necessary. 50 years ago 26 May 1966 Who needs to buy on Saturday? Forty per cent against, 40 per cent for it and 20 per cent who have no opinion - that’s the result of the Journal’s random survey among housewives to get their feelings about any proposal to close butchers shops on Saturday mornings. Some butchers who are in favour of Satur-

day closing said they realised it may be necessary to work an hour or two later on Fridays for the benefit of those who can’t get to the shops by five o’clock.

20 years ago 27 May 1996 Business growth continues Greater Dandenong saw the greatest amount of industrial and commercial growth in the Western Port region last year, producing much-needed jobs in its wake. The average house price in Greater Dandenong ($115,000) is still trailing neighbours Casey ($120,000) and the Mornington Peninsula ($136,000). Unemployment in the Western Port region continued to fall last year, plummeting from a high 13 per cent in 1992 to 7.7 per cent

Take a cue from Canada's policy The Canadian Government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has accepted another 10,000 Syrian refugees - up to 35,000 in total, and this could reach 50,000 while Canada’s budget is hitting C$30 billion in deficit. In 2015, we welcomed the Australian Government’s decision to permit 12,000 Syrian refugees to come to Australia and settle here. The suffering of the refugees has been shocking. There is still more to be done. Labor’s decision at its 2015 National Conference to make “the turning back of the boats” part of its immigration/refugee policy has, in fact, brought the two major parties closer together on this policy. However, Labor will only send such boats to a safe country. Labor would refuse to send such boats to the country of origin as required by the current Federal Government. This Federal Government policy may cause grave risk to the refugees including imprisonment, economic sanctions or even death. I have received information, confirming the number of failed asylum seekers who were ar-

rested within weeks of the Australian Government returning them to Vietnam as their country of origin in 2015. Some of those not arrested are believed to be on the run as fugitives. This current policy should be discontinued. It’s understandable that Australia’s borders need to be protected, but surely not from the refugees. For someone who has a different culture and language but prepared to get on a boat with their family, risking their own safety, fleeing from their homeland in trying to search for safety in an unknown destination, they have to be desperate in order to consider the option.

At an international level, Australia can’t afford to break the 1951 Refugee Convention as Australia is one of the signatories. Are we making the assumption that all that the refugees want is to come to Australia? Clearly, during the Vietnamese refugees era, the majority chose to settle in the USA and others settled in other countries including New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Europe and Australia. While I understand that the major political parties hold a non-negotiable position on having control of our borders, I call upon the Australian Government to consider these three options: 1. Re-open the refugee processing centre in the South East Asian countries. There are safe countries in South-East Asia Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines - where such boats could be sent or to where refugees could go under their own steam. 2. Increase the intake of refugees, which is important as it gives us a good reason to further canvass other nations to shoulder some responsibility on this international refugee crisis.

Increasing the intake would reduce the processing time and allow asylum seekers to resettle much quicker. By doing so, the asylum seekers will see real hope at their last leg of the journey which is at processing centres, and there is no benefit of risking their lives by travelling longer distance directly to Australia. Only then Australia would be in the righteous position to send asylum seekers back to the queue. 3. Grant an amnesty to the 30,000 asylum seekers in Australia, Nauru and Manus Island. This is not unprecedented as Australia has granted amnesties before, for example, following the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, Prime Minister Bob Hawke made the decision to accept Chinese refugees into Australia. These asylum seekers are here at our doorsteps, it is our issue. Let’s start again. Stop playing politics with the very lives and health of the refugees who have been left in limbo for far too long.

Hand grenade attack on rates By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association has accused the council of putting its “head in the sand” over a decade of rates rises allegedly totalling about 90 per cent. In its draft budget released on 25 May, the council announced a 3.47 per cent rate rise 0.97 per cent above the state-imposed rates cap. It is subject to approval by the Essential Services Commission. Ratepayers association spokesman Brendan Browne said the council wouldn’t acknowledge that “gross rates and charges” per assessment rose from $933 in 2006 to $1768 in 2015-16. He said the rise was about 60 per cent above inflation. “We want council to acknowledge that this is a large increase for residents to absorb and to withdraw their plans to increase rates beyond CPI again,” Mr Browne said. “Casey has a high number of people experiencing mortgage stress or on relatively low incomes. “Yet our rates are more than double that of some of the inner city municipalities, such as Stonnington.” At a council meeting on 17 May, Mayor Sam Aziz defended the council’s desire to raise rates above the rates cap during a series of questions

from the association. He said it was an “absolute fallacy” that the $125 million Bunjil Place project had contributed to the plus-CPI rise. “This will not impact on the rates base by one cent.” The project was funded by a combination of cash reserves, a loan accounted for by previous and current budgets and a $10 million federal grant, he said. In response to the claimed 90 per cent rates rise over the past 10 years, Cr Aziz said it wasn’t clear whether the association’s workings were based on an individual property or average property rates. He said the rises included a large increase in the state’s landfill levy, street-lighting network charges, asset renewal as well as cost-shifting by the State Government. Casey was one of few councils to refund ratepayers after the federal Carbon Tax was scrapped, he said. At the end of the meeting Cr Aziz said it was “fascinating” that association members had left soon after throwing “hand grenades” in public question time. “They are happy to criticise Casey but not to hang around and listen to all the good things being done in Casey.”

Hawthorn player Bradley Hill has been charged over an alleged assault at a Narre Warren nightclub in January. Hill, 22, and a 22-year-old Pakenham woman were charged over an altercation with another man outside the Empire nightclub on Lauderdale Road about 12.30am on 24 January. The victim, a 21-year-old Berwick man, was treated for minor facial injuries, according to Casey CIU detectives.

Hill was charged with unlawful assault and summoned to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 27 June. The woman was charged with recklessly causing injury and summoned to the same court on 31 May. Hawthorn football operations manager Chris Fagan said Hill notified the club at the time of the incident and co-operated fully with police.

As A 10-year-old Maria Napoleon had little idea of the human catastrophe she escaped in a small boat when she landed in Darwin’s port in 1975. She, her brother Manuel, adopted sister Ines and grandmother and aunt had fled their East Timorese home just weeks before Indonesia brutally invaded the island. “I didn’t realise the significance of it at that time. Now it starts to hit home,” Ms Napoleon said. “We wouldn’t have been processed to leave if we didn’t have Portuguese blood.” Her story, as well as the words of other East Timorese families who settled in Casey, are set to be recorded for posterity by Gleneagles Secondary College year seven students. The interviews will be written up by the 25 students and published in a book by Wild Dingo

Press by the end of the year. Ms Napoleon said the rickety refugee boat from East Timor was picked up en route to Australia by a European container ship. She remembers being on deck with hundreds of asylum seekers and not allowed to eat the only food available which was rationed to the youngest children only. It was then a case of famine-followed-by-feast. When settled in an army camp in Darwin, Ms Napoleon had never seen so much food. She hid stashes of food in her clothes, not knowing where she would be taken nor when the next meal would arrive. Ms Napoleon has been back to visit her mother in the Ermera district in Timor Leste twice, while Manuel has re-settled home to run a successful tourism business. The project was co-ordinated by the Friends of Ermera group and supported by a City of Casey grant.

Avoiding crime By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Tackling youth crime, such as the headlined Apex Gang, is not just a matter of using blunt strategies, a youth social-enterprise leader has said. TRY Australia chief executive Julia Cambage is firmly of the philosophy that no one gets on the right track on their own. She is leading a $50,000 state-funded Breaking the Cycle project in Doveton that will take about 30 disadvantaged men, aged 18-20 and at risk of falling into crime, under its wing. Volunteer mentors will boost the young people’s self-esteem and resilience through weekly activities such as sport and recreation. Along the way, the young people are guided towards training and employment as well as being given lifestyle and wellbeing skills. “In some cases, it may be the first time in their lives they have a relationship with an adult that’s a positive one,” Ms Cambage said. “We bring them back into the community and help them be the best human beings they can be.” She explains the phenomenon of wrong-headed gangs in terms of kids wanting attention.

“Humans want to be wanted and valued. If you’re valued by your peers for doing the wrong thing, that’s what you’ll do for attention.” TRY Australia was founded on the principles of giving disadvantaged people a go and valuing them for doing the right thing, she said. It’s not a soft touch, she emphasises. “If you give young people an opportunity to try, you’ll be amazed what they can achieve. “Our 130 years of experience tells us this will work.” The State Government has also provided $150,000 towards a Connections project for 40 young people from Maori and Pacific Islander backgrounds. Led by Jesuit Social Services, the program includes workshops, positive role modelling and outdoor therapy. The two initiatives are part of a state $2.2-million program targeting the underlying causes of youth crime. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said the projects tackled crime prevention at a local level. “These will go a long way in helping shape a better future for young people in Doveton.”

Cash helps maintain their pride By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS There’s a lofty, abiding aim at Doveton Special Soccer School to give its players the best - without cost to their families. That aim has been achieved in the past and will be reached a little easier in the future thanks to a record $27,000 grant from Dandenong Club on 13 May. The grant will help cover complete soccer kits and tracksuits, soccer balls, ground and indoor facility hire this winter, as well as a $15,000 interstate trip to national championships in October for the school’s 30 players and five coaches. Founder and coach Juan Carlos Loyola said his players will wear their new uniforms with pride. “The grant is a tremendous help for us. It means we can continue to help families of intellectually disabled kids. “The enjoyment of our players comes first and this donation will fulfil their dream to play away as we can now travel to Launceston to compete.” The donation signified how much the soccer club’s reputation had grown since its founding in 1993, Mr Loyola said. About a thousand players have been through the club in that period. Eight have represented Australia, flown over at the club and its sponsors’ expense. That kind of dedication has earned the club and Mr Loyola countless community awards including an OAM. It also costs up to $55,000 a year. “It’s money that’s difficult to find. Now our present is good and our future fantastic.” The Argentinian-born founder’s goal from the start was to give kids with an intellectual disability a chance to enjoy soccer - in training and in games. “But I wanted to give them the best. “They deserve the quality of opportunity like any of us.” In that time, the club has grown to be the biggest of its type in the state, and one of the biggest in the country. “We are not necessarily there to make a star player, but to prepare these people to be up there

Doveton Special Soccer School members, Dandenong Club reps and Juan Carlos Loyola celebrate the grant. 154103 Picture: GARY SISSONS in the community and to enjoy a normal life.” Players learn the qualities of team sport that transpose into work and life - discipline, sharing, communication and understanding other people. “We are here to give service to the community and make a big difference.

“We’re teaching our players to enjoy life - that’s the main thing.” The grant was facilitated by Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams after meeting Community Clubs Victoria president Leon Wiegard. Dandenong Club president Charlie Daly said

the grant was part of nearly $100,000 given back to the community in the past two years. “It is with great pride we donate this money, and we wish the Doveton Special School the best of luck in their games. “We are happy to see the smiles of the athletes.”

A voice for those who are silent By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Hasina Resa is one of the lucky ones. Her escape - with her family - from persecution in Afghanistan in 2001 to settle in Narre Warren South was one stroke of luck. Another was Ms Resa’s recent appointment as one of 10 Australian youth ambassadors by Children Out of Immigration Detention (ChilOut). She is not content to sit on her good fortune and not afraid to editorialise on election issues, particularly in favour of asylum seekers. She bristles when asked about Immigration Minister Peter Dutton’s recent electioneering about “innumerate” and “illiterate” refugees taking Australian jobs or “languishing” in dole queues or on Medicare. “Oh my God! I feel he’s not fit for that position. “So many (asylum seekers and refugees) work in the community and their work speaks for itself.” Ms Resa is far from “languishing” - studying journalism at Deakin University and volunteering with activities at aged care homes. She chose journalism for her love of writing, the promise of travel and exploring a broad range of people and issues. As an ambassador, her message is: Australia should remove children “suffering” in immigration detention. “Regardless of what the parents’ mistakes have been, we should think what they’ve been through for their children. “In my view, every child is the future. They need to have the same opportunity as I have.” Ms Resa said most refugees were keen to contribute, having fled from persecution and violence for a “better life”. She points out that statistically Australians are more hostile to refugees and asylum seekers than a decade ago. Mr Dutton’s recent comments made her message more difficult to promote, she said. “It’s quite a task. A lot of public schools, which have multicultural students and teachers, are open and great - we’re focused more on the general public.”

Former refugee Hasina Resa says all children should have the same opportunities that she has had. 154148 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Ms Resa was born in Afghanistan, the first child of a newly-wed couple who fled war to settle in Australia in 2001. She has little recollection of her early childhood in her homeland but returned to Kabul in 2010 for a family holiday. “I remember being very scared before we went. I assumed it would be very dangerous but it was very different to what I expected.”

Rather than terror attacks, it was encountering the poor and war-ravaged families that she remembers. It fuelled her passion for social justice. ChilOut campaign co-ordinator Claire Hammerton said many of the 2016 ambassadors had backgrounds that were similar to Ms Resa’s. They were refugees, fleeing war-torn countries with “powerful stories”. “(They) carry the message that keeping chil-

dren in detention centres causes serious harm to children and these effects often continue long after the children have been released,” she said. ChilOut is a not-for-profit community organisation formed on the issue of ending the detention of asylum-seeking children. It runs on public donations. For more information visit www.chilout.org.

NEW HOMES & LAND

INSPIRED BY HOME DESIGNS While block sizes are decreasing, at Inspired Homes the size of a home is not compromised. Inspired Homes offers practical and luxurious double storey homes for people in all stages of life. Whether they are buying a first home, a home for a growing family, or are looking to down-size, Inspired Homes has an ideal home. With a portfolio of designs that suit blocks from 12.5 metres, Inspired double designs start from 28 squares and offer both quality and style.

Each Inspired Homes design features a dynamic flow throughout. The signature Piasta (kitchen, living, dining and alfresco) forms the central hub of the home and creates a living space with a striking sense of energy and flow. An angled kitchen opens sight lines to the alfresco, directing the eye away from the back and side fence to the gardens and outdoor entertaining zone. Whether clients require a custom design or would like to tailor an existing plan to suit specific requirements, design freedom

does not come at an extra cost. Inspired Homes will find a solution that gets the best out of land and budget. Clients can watch their personalised design come to life at the click of a button as they work one-on-one with managing director Andrew Stickley through the design process. For a limited time home buyers can spend $8999 and receive more than $26,000 of ultimate upgrades with the Everything Including the Kitchen Sink summer promotion.

This promotion includes a $3000 facade upgrade, butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pantry, stone benchtops, evaporative cooling, an oversize entry door and much more. To explore the design options for an Inspired double design, visit the Display Centre to speak to a new homes consultant. The Inspired Homes display home is at 3-5 Serene Way, Clyde North, on the Berwick Waters Estate. Phone 13000 HOMES (1300 046 637) or Andrew Stickley on 0411 473 662.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

New era for the best in business By CASEY NEILL

NAB s Paul Wood with India At Home owner Rajesh Bhatia. 154713 to keep up with his contract catering company’s growth. “We needed some expertise in the organisational side of the business,” Mr Welsh said. Breadwinner has been in Dandenong for 20 years, employs more than 100 people - with an-

Tyron takes a look at career options. 153959 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

On the right path to career decision By CASEY NEILL Keysborough College students got a taste of the career opportunities ahead of them and the pathways to get there. Assistant principal Lynda Portelli said the sixth Pathways Expo ran throughout Thursday 26 May at the school’s Acacia Campus. “We survey our students. They regularly say it’s really helped inform them,” she said. More than 900 students from years nine to 12 from the Acacia and Banksia campuses met education and training providers, industry groups and business representatives as they made their way through about 50 stalls. Ms Portelli said universities, TAFEs and private providers were represented alongside defence and police forces, Greater Dandenong Council’s youth services team and Telstra. “There was a really broad spectrum on offer for students to engage with,” she said. “Every student has half a period in the expo

and then they have half a period where they have a presentation either from someone in the university sector or someone in the TAFE sector or someone who can talk about how you pathway from TAFE to university.” Ms Portelli said students who looked at the Engineering Australia stall had a better understanding of that industry. “We had the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute. They were talking all about maths and women in maths,” Ms Portelli said. “So, as well as careers, we had other things to enrich our students of what’s possible.” Ms Portelli said the event was part of a wider career education program. “In year 10 they specifically have a whole week focused on pathways and they go to work experience as well,” she said. “The feedback we got from the stallholders was that it’s one of the best expos they go to because it’s so well organised and our students are very engaged.”

Greater Dandenong’s top business awards have entered a new era. A breakfast launched the new Greater Dandenong Chamber Business Awards at Greyhounds Entertainment in Springvale on Wednesday 25 May. Health educator and former AFL player and coach David Parkin was the morning’s guest speaker. NAB’s Paul Wood presented the first two award nominees, Breadwinner and India At Home. He said there were more than 12,500 businesses in Dandenong and the awards’ predecessor, the Premier Regional Business Awards (PRBA) which wrapped up on 13 April, highlighted about 400 over its 25 years. “There’s a lot more good stories to tell,” he said. The chamber’s executive committee will select 12 businesses to showcase at breakfasts throughout the year. An award presentation in November will include a Greater Dandenong Chamber Award and five category awards. Businesses with 25 employees or less or an annual turnover less than $10 million will be eligible for the Small Business Award, with those exceeding these figures in the Large Business category. Businesses that make and sell products to the general public will be in the running for the Retail Award, and the Employment Award will recognise a business that actively develops and trains staff beyond their employment field or employs from marginal communities. The Corporate Social Responsibility and Innovation Award will go to a business that takes into account the social, ethical, and environmental effects of its activities on its staff and community. Breadwinner produces up to 40,000 sandwiches a day and started in 1997 when John Welsh turned to electrician friend Maarten Pinkster

“When you think of the companies supplying them, it was quite a buzz,” Mr Welsh said. “The strength of our business is really our people. Dandenong has a great wealth of opportunity. “We find great loyalty. We’ve got people who’ve worked for us for 15 years. “We treat people like family and we’ve found that’s been effective.” Rajesh Bhatia came to Australia as a student in 1995 and learnt that “profit is the reward of risktaking”. He saw a gap in the market for everyday Indian food and opened Dandenong’s India At Home in 2004. “I took the maximum loan I could take on my home,” he said. “We took a risk, we worked hard and we made it.” Mr Bhatia worked seven days a week for the business’s first five years, and now has 40 employees and eight retail stores selling more than 5000 products. Mr Parkin, a prostate cancer survivor, urged breakfast guests to find out their genetic history. He watched the disease beat his father and grandfather so was on the lookout for it and received early treatment. “You’re a fool if you don’t know,” he said. Mr Parkin also spoke about encouraging physical education in primary schools. “We need to do it at the time when we’re forming the habits of our lives,” he said. He shared his ‘simple seven’ rules to live by eat right, know your optimal weight, get regular skin checks, look after yourself (he labelled drugs, smoking and alcohol “poison”), look after your mates, activity is the best supplement and life’s about balance. “You’ve got to find something that you love to get your head out of everything that’s going on,” he said.

Alex Litsoudis shows his acting range. 154715

Round on a roll Delivering papers is more than a job for Wallara’s clients. The Dandenong-based service for adults with disabilities has been running newspaper rounds in Keysborough and Endeavour Hills for several years. Each week support coach Kayla Tulloch takes out a crew of up to nine people to put about 150 copies of the Journal News into letterboxes. “They love it,” she said. “A lot of the time a lot of people come out the front as well, so they like the interaction with the people. “They talk for ages so you’ve got to help them along. “You spend up to three hours on the newspaper run just because these guys like to talk! “They like the exercise as well.” Disability support coach Boney Joe Abraham leads another crew around Keysborough with the Dandenong Journal. If you’d like to walk papers, get fit and earn money at the same time, call Fermax on 1300 654 910 or visit www.fermax.com.au.

A Springvale actor will soon share the small screen with big names in the ‘biz, including Hugo Weaving. But audiences can catch Alex Litsoudis onscreen at the Drum Theatre on Friday 3 June. The inaugural Short Cuts Film Festival will feature comedy, animation, documentary and drama from new and experienced filmmakers. The six-minute movie Who Is He? stars Mr Litsoudis and shares his story, from his migration to Australia from Greece when he was five months old, to his mild intellectual disability, overcoming prejudice and pursuing his acting dreams. “I asked myself ‘who am I? Where do I come from?’,” he said. “That’s how I wrote the story.” Mr Litsoudis is a key player in Fusion Theatre, the Dandenong-based drama group for people of different abilities, formerly called Dramability. Earlier this year he appeared as Tom, a GreekAustralian with a disability, in Understanding

Abuse by National Disability Services. “Now I’m just recently got a part at ABC TV,” he proudly told the Journal. “There’s a new series that I cannot say anything about at the moment. “The actual scene is very special and important.” The Journal did some digging and discovered that he’ll appear as Roger, a mentally disabled man living in an old-folks home in six-part psychological mystery series called Seven Types of Ambiguity. It’s based on the Elliot Perlman novel and also stars Alex Dimitriades and Susie Porter. “I’m hoping to get some more work on TV or in film,” Mr Litsoudis said. But he said that the stage is his first love and he is working on a piece combining an ancient Greek tragedy with modern-day events in Syria and Europe.

SPORT Giobbi rises up the footy ladder and make the step up mentally to push himself further. “I just felt like I needed to challenge myself - playing at Narre Warren and in the period I played there they were a dominant side and I didn’t really have to try as hard I guess,” Giobbi said. “I wanted to go somewhere where I’d have to test myself – I thought I was going to be a fringe player at Noble Park. “I really like it there – it’s obviously a lot different to Narre, but it’s a great club and the boys all got around me when I first got there, so it’s good.” From racking up touches at Noble Park, Giobbi isn’t sure where the football path will take him. Whether the VFL or beyond is something he’s looking towards, but for the moment he wants to get stuck back into life at the Bullring and help the side find some form after a hot-and-cold start to the season marred by injury. “We’ve been struck by a fair bit of injury, so we’re hopefully getting a few back through the twos and some straight into the ones,” Giobbi said. “Once we get a few of the good players back hopefully, we can find some form again before we face Balwyn and Vermont and sides like that.” Noble Park travels to face East Ringwood on Saturday.

By JARROD POTTER FROM wondering about his chances of Noble Park selection to pulling on an interleague jumper for second-ranked Eastern Football League ... it’s been a whirlwind start to 2016 already for Ben Giobbi. Giobbi, 20, from Narre Warren, is in the midst of an amazing rise up the ranks as a cracking start to life in the blue and gold saw the fleet-footed midfielder earn more than just a Bulls’ senior jumper. His hard-edged approach through the Bulls’ centre and defence earned him a ticket to Simonds Stadium to battle the number one ranked side – Geelong Football League – in the AFL Victoria Community Championships number one clash. It wasn’t meant to be in the top showdown for Eastern against Geelong, downed 9.10 (64) to 13.10 (88), despite a late fightback giving Eastern fans some hope. The marquee interleague belonged to Geelong, who showed a little too much class as former Port Adelaide/Geelong forward Jason Davenport (four goals) booted the number 1 seeds ahead and that’s where the scoreboard would stay. Earning second best on field, behind Norwood’s Stuart Hill, Giobbi took away plenty from the biggest clash on his football resume. “I enjoyed it – I was pretty proud of myself to be picked out,” Giobbi said. “I thought I was going to be on the fringe at Noble in the first place, so it’s obviously a big step up from playing local footy. “They were pretty strong and had their game plan pretty set – seemed like they trained together for a while and had a bit of an edge on us.” Roaming half-back before he was thrown in the middle when the match was on the line, Giob-

Ben Giobbi, third player from left in the front row, was one of the best on ground in the EFL’s interleague clash against Geelong. Picture: EFL bi impressed the EFL coaching staff in the gutsy 24-point loss as Eastern now sets its sights on the third-versus-fourth clash next year against Essendon District. “It was a big deck – bit dewy all day which was a little strange ... but playing in the stadium was great,” Giobbi said. “I was pretty nervous at the start and nervous before the game and in the first quarter, but as soon as I took a few grabs and

Rydge’s green and gold debut By JARROD POTTER The next great Hogan family baseballer has earned his first Australian jersey. Following in the footsteps of his Australian/ Victorian representative dad Rob, Springvale Lions’ up-and-coming pitcher Rydge Hogan, 16, from Berwick, earned his green-and-gold debut on the back of his Southern Mariners’ Australian Senior League Championship (ASLC) victory recently. The game in Lismore, New South Wales, saw the Mariners sweep aside the competition, including a 6-1 rampage in the finale. Coming up against a power-packed Hills – a New South Wales team – in the finale, the Mariners smashed their northern counterparts by five runs in the final, held at Albert Park Baseball Complex, to book their tickets to the Philippines. “It was awesome – there were a lot of good baseballers out there, but some good pitching allowed me to play well and it was pretty good,” Hogan said. The Springvale/ Berwick Dodgers pitcher was given a spot on the mound in the third round of the tournament and also swung cleanly, connecting on his at-bats to impress on both sides of baseball ledger. With their victory, the Southern Mariners will now head to Clark in the Philippines from 11-17 July to represent Australia in the Asia Pacific Championship. Another victory there will guarantee Hogan and his team mates a ticket to the Senior League World Series. He hopes that passion can keep his ambitions ticking along in years to come. “I love it – I’d play every day if I could – love the mound and would love to take my pitching to the next level,” Hogan said. “Doing well over in the Philippines is the first thing, I just want to see how we go from there and get a bit bigger and stronger in the gym. “There’s a lot of training in between now and then to get even better than we are now... so it’s not too far away. I play for Berwick in the winter and Springvale in the summer and I’d like to thank both clubs and mum and dad for what they do for me,” Hogan said. 36 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 30 May, 2016

started to find my feet a bit, I found it was alright once I got a hang of it. “It was good to get out there and meet the players from other teams and play at the highest level of footy I’ve ever played – good to mix in with the players from the other teams and the other league.” Leaving the Magpies was a tough decision that Giobbi knew he had to take to improve his footy

Tennis award in play for city Smashing its way into a state-level sporting nomination, the City of Greater Dandenong is in line for a newly announced award in the tennis community. The 2016 Victorian Tennis Awards has a new award category included - with the City of Greater Dandenong in line for a Supporting Tennis - Local Government Recognition award. Tennis Australia’s award pays tribute to Local Government Areas (LGAs) which are engaged with and support tennis in their community. The City of Greater Dandenong is up against next-door neighbour City of Kingston as well as the City of Boroondara and Brimbank City Council as finalists in the category. Tennis Victoria’s Executive Manager of Government Relations and Places to Play Ken Jacobs believes councils need to be recognised for their great achievements in supporting tennis. “To receive the number of nominations that we did in the award’s first year is a testament to the work being done by our local government partners and our clubs who continue to build strong relationships with local government area representatives,” Jacobs said. “Tennis strives to be a leader in this space and it’s important to reward councils who work collaboratively and proactively with the sport.” Now in its fifth year, the Victorian Tennis Awards include the coveted Most Outstanding Club, Centre or Association award as well as awards for Volunteer Achievement, Coaching Excellence, Most Outstanding School, Most Outstanding Tournament and Junior Athlete of the Year. The award will be presented at Tennis Victoria’s Championships Dinner on Monday 27 June at the Melbourne Cricket Ground Members Dining Room.

Barnes’ eight is enough for Nunawading City By JARROD POTTER NPL VICTORIA 2 EAST - ROUND 14 BRANDON Barnes 8, Nunawading City 1. Dandenong Thunder’s English phenomenon had a goal-kicking spree on Saturday afternoon as the visitors proved far too strong in a 10-1 triumph between first versus worst. The youthful Nunawading City was gallant through the first half - restricting the usual freeflowing Thunder game-plan and holding the opposition to a solitary goal at the break. Barnes only opened his ledger late in the half, but number 10 had plenty more tricks up his sleeve come the second stanza. The second half was chaos for the hosts as Dandenong slammed on nine. It started with Veton Korcari (47’), who was given far too much space at the back of the box to open the half before the Barnes bonanza started in earnest. The heavens opened just as the Thunder upped its rampage. The Barnesy Army willed its superstar striker on; “pull the trigger Barnesy,” they hollered from the sidelines. Obliging his fans, and then some, Barnes went from a single to a hat-trick after back-to-back strikes in the 59th and 60th. He added another two more in the next five minutes to leave the crowd stunned as the scoreline went from 1-0 to 6-0 in a heartbeat. Barnes wasn’t done by any stretch; even as the rain started hitting the eastern suburbs, the striker only started shining brighter. Given it on a string from Kristian Sarkies, Nick Modaffari and Daniel Bennett, Barnes had first opportunity but it wasn’t completely one-sided as he dished off plenty of near-miss opportunities and assists. Patrick Avice (78’) opened his account in NPL with a great finish at the back post, making the margin eight-zip. Barnes’ last two were split by Nunawading City’s Sam Antoniadis, who broke the Fraser Maclaren’s cleansheet with an incredible free kick goal, but the last rites were delivered by Barnes. His through ball in the dying minutes was meant to be to space, but surprisingly, his pass beat the keeper to give him his eighth to cap off the extraordinary outing. “Every game, every time I get one, I’d like to think the next chance i’m going to score,” Barnes said. “I’m going stay as positive as I can and today clearly, one went in and they kept coming so it was good. “Kept it away from us, was very hard - in the second half we changed it to a way that was suitable for us and we played it into our advantage and did what we do best.” The song took almost as long as the match to finish as the Thunder cheered on 10 goals for the day, leaving coach Huss Skenderovic with plenty to be excited about at the half-way stage of the NPL 2 East campaign. “We’re quite pleased with the second half performance in particular,” Skendorovic said. “We changed formation and looked at a couple of things - was a really good game for us to actually

Brandon Barnes belts it out after an eight-goal hau for Dandenong Thunder. 154841 experiment a little bit ... but why change what was working? “In the second half we went back and made a change, structurally we went back to the way we play best and with Brandon on song today to score a lot - I lost count in the end and had to ask the fourth official how many he had - but it was fantastic and very happy for him to do the job for us today. “Speaking to him in regards to his positioning, I’ve told him if he does that he’ll score - three ... four ... five ... and today it’s eight.” The 14-0-0 Thunder is flying at the moment atop the ladder - sitting with a whopping plus-43 goal difference - before it hosts Melbourne City on Saturday night.

In other results, Dandenong City defeated Murray United 3-1 on the back of some secondhalf heroics from Halil Gur (61’) and Argentinian Gonzalo Freddi (84’ and 87’). It made amends for a lacklustre Tuesday night for Dandenong City, which was eliminated from the FFA Cup qualifiers in a 1-3 loss to Melbourne Knights. City plays St Albans away this weekend. After a narrow loss to Thunder last week, Springvale White Eagles couldn’t bounce back as it was downed 0-1 by Goulburn Valley Suns. White Eagles will host Moreland City on Saturday. Winners in State 4 and State 5 South were Keysborough, Harrisfield, Noble Park SC and Dandenong Warriors while Endeavour United and Springvale City drew.

Party ruined for Bulls By JARROD POTTER GREATER DANDENONG FOOTBALL REVIEW - ROUND 7 THERE was no fitting fairytale for Noble Park mainstay Trent Robertson in his 200th match after East Ringwood spoiled the celebrations. The Kangaroos hopped all over the defender’s milestone match, taking down the Bulls in an 11-point epic in the east. Robertson held down his post in his usual, unassuming manner - taking the man-mountains that roamed to the deepest point of the field. In league with Stewart Kemperman, Ben Giobbi and Brett Dore, the four-pronged defence repelled plenty of early opposition forays. But the problems piled up further afield as Noble Park failed to capitalise on its best opportunities early. The first term was a back and forth display with Noble Park unable to seize the day. Liam Hard snagged the first, Jackson Sketcher - back for his second match of the season - slotted the Bulls second from a set shot before Tim Kelly rode his chances to snap a beauty on the stroke of quarter time. Coach Mick Fogarty begged his players to stick their tackles, look dangerous and back themselves in the trenches. His words rang true by the end of the clash - but Noble Park went missing through the middle quarters. They could only muster one goal as the Kangaroos clamped down defensively and punished them on the overlap. But the last term was a work of beauty; the Bulls charged back into the match with six goals, but by then they had already given the hosts too much advantage and were left to take the 10.10 (70) to 12.9 (81) defeat. Bringing his great interleague form back to the blue and gold, Ben Giobbi was best afield for the Bulls in his dogged defensive effort, while ruckman Vergim Faik and centreman Tim Harper also impressed. The Bulls slip to fifth on the EFL Division 1 ladder, falling to a 4-3 record as the season approaches the half-way mark. Noble Park will host fourth-place Doncaster on Saturday in another tough tussle for the boys from the Bullring. In VAFA results, the unbeaten JOCs continued their winning ways, besting Bulleen Templestowe by 68 points. Back-toback six goal terms put the nail in the hosts’ coffin as St John’s cantered away with the 14.15 (99) to 4.7 (31) triumph. Aaron Thornton (seven goals) was unfazed by the conditions smashing his way well clear on the league goal-kicking table while Anthony Brannan, Corey Ladson, Corey Ely and Dylan Webb were also best. The seven-win St John’s streak will be put up for grabs this weekend against West Brunswick in another first versus second clash for the Dandy boys at home.

Dandenong Stingrays Tommy Glen steps up to VFL ranks By JARROD POTTER TAKING number 29 for a run in the Victorian Football League (VFL) last week, Dandenong Stingrays top-age midfielder Tommy Glen savoured his first step up from the TAC Cup. Glen, 19, from Pakenham, swapped Stingrays for Casey Scorpions, making his VFL senior debut last Saturday night against league powerhouse Box Hill. After three years in the Stingrays’ system, the hard-running inside-outside midfielder was given his first crack at senior elite footy while his TAC Cup side had a bye. Named 23rd man for Casey, Glen was given a task on the wings and around half-forward and he delivered when called upon - despite the fastertempo and big learning curve needed to go from TAC Cup to VFL. He booted a goal in the second term - given way too much space as he slotted it comfortably - and backed up that effort with a chase-down tackle in the dying stages of the clash to stop the

Hawks rebounding it out of defence, as they had done all night to great effect. As part of the elite fight-back from the Scorpions, to grind out a seven-point win over Box Hill, Glen got to sing the Casey refrain and cop the traditional barrage of Powerade and water from the team mates. “It was awesome - obviously Box Hill is a really good team so it meant a lot to get a win for the boys and was great,” Glen said. “It was a good step up, playing against AFLlisted guys so was a good challenge and something I strive for.” While he won’t want to remember his first VFL kick - absolutely butchering a running shoton-goal that missed everything - his second went a lot better. He popped one through the big sticks and had Scorpions from all over the field mob him in congratulations. “I shanked one off the inside of the boot, out on the full ... would’ve been a good goal but you know, made amends with the next one so I can’t

complain,” Glen said. The Beaconsfield/Dandenong roaming midfielder took his time to get used to the pace of the game, but has found himself keen to return to the ranks as he believes it is necessary to continue his improvement and potentially get his name called on draft day. “I think it’s probably better off that I play here,” Glen said. “Obviously have a balance between both, but having a mix (between TAC Cup and VFL) is good - I think AFL recruiters want to see me at the next level, playing against men.” Casey Scorpions coach Justin Plapp thought Glen took the step up well and had the earmarks of following in the footsteps of last year’s Scorpions Under 19 draftee - Sydney forward Tom Papley. “For him to get an opportunity I know he’s around the mark and as a 19-year-old I know he’s been going really well,” Plapp said. “So hopefully that helps him, like it did with (Tom) Papley last year and hopefully it’s a positive for him.”

Stingrays shine for state selection By JARROD POTTER Reward for effort has seen a plethora of potential Stingrays draftees given their opportunity to shine at the state level. Dandenong’s high-flying start in the 2016 TAC Cup season has been duly noted by Vic Country selectors with 11 Rays earning BIG V honours. Berwick duo Reece Piper and Oscar Clavarino have earnt their first selections in the side while Beaconsfield’s Tommy Jok will get a second chance alongside highly-touted Doveton/ Haileybury forward Josh Battle. “It’s great for our program and it goes to show the team’s playing good footy – we’re 6-1 after the first seven games and it’s a good reflection of how we’re going,” Dandenong Stingrays coach Craig Black said. “It’s good for Tommy Jok, as a 19-year-old, to come back and they have a couple of 19-year-olds with Tommy and Mitch McCarthy.” For Piper, in particular, his selection is cause for celebration after he pushed through a gruelling 2015 off-season rehabilitating a spinal injury. Piper’s form since returning to the side has been phenomenal, with the small defender using his thumping left foot to kick the Stingrays out of trouble. “Everyone knew Reece was pretty talented and once he got in to the grogram and got into it – we all knew he could play at this level,” Black said. “Skill wise and ability – once he got everything rolling together he was always going to be good, but with last year’s injury he was very unlucky. “That would knock your confidence around a little bit and everyone forgets that he’s 17 until the 30th of December too.” The other small Stingray to really impress this season has been Sam Fowler, the Dromana export who has shone with 25 goals from his seven games. Most importantly, Black believed Fowler’s

hope to those boys who missed out on the program as a 17-year-old. “If you play good local footy you can still come in, get noticed and play good TAC Cup footy and potentially go even further.” Vic Country will begin its AFL under-18 national championships campaign against Western Australia on Sunday 5 June at Medibank Stadium, Leederville.

story was a tale of perseverance and that an elite footy dream is only over when the player says it is. “Sammy Fowler – it’s a great story,” Black said. “This time last year he was playing senior footy as a 17-year-old for Dromana and now he’s getting an opportunity to play in WA in the championships in a week’s time. “I guess that’s a great story too and it gives

Beaconsfield’s Tommy Jok has earned a second opportunity in the Vic Country ranks. 153311 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Bells Are Ringin caused one of the biggest upsets in group racing history when she defeated the country’s best stayers in the RSN927 Sandown Cup on Thursday night. Sent to the boxes, the 50/1 outsider began well to cross to the rail and lead the field through the first turn. From there she was never headed, finding the line two lengths clear of Who Dey in 42.02. For trainer Gerry O’Keeffe – just two years returned from a 28-year absence from the sport – the win was the thrill of a lifetime. “I thought ‘goodness me, I’m going to run a place here!’ She’s always been clean winded but she had been run down a few times when she first started over the distance. “To hold off those good dogs, what a thrill,” he said. Finishing up after 35 years as a prosecutor for the Department of Agriculture, O’Keeffe and long-time friend Kelvin Jones decided to get

Bells are Ringin’ surprised the field to claim the Sandown Cup. back into the sport by training five greyhounds from his 10 acre Neerim Junction property. At that time, his son in-law Glenn Pask had bred and reared a litter of pups and was looking for a trainer.

Among those pups was the runt of the litter, Bells Are Ringin. “This little dog was so sick for the first four months that she couldn’t be sold – she looked like a guinea pig with a rat tail. “She’s only tiny – 24 and a half kilograms – of which 23 would be heart.” It was a popular victory, with no shortage of well wishes for the affable 63-year-old. “I really am living the dream,” he said. “Kelvin is a co-trainer and integral part of the team. “We have vigorous discussion about different ways of doing things but we always work out a consensus and so without Kelvin I couldn’t be doing any of this.” The RSN927 Sandown Cup was Bells Are Ringin’s 16th victory from 39 starts, and the $175,000 winner’s cheque catapulted her winnings beyond $259,000. The group 1 Gold Cup at Albion Park next Thursday night will be her next assignment.
