around like a lunatic,” Mr Bright said. Mr Bright said Reddecliffe’s rehabilitative prospects - without going to jail - were improved by recently becoming a father. Reddecliffe was previously convicted and fined $2500 for reckless conduct during a police pursuit in 2013. Magistrate Barry Schulz said Reddecliffe’s professional driving experience should have made him more alert to the dangers and that his culpability as the organiser was higher than other participants'.

“He was directing cars in the bowl but when there were fireworks thrown in, thick smoke and up to six people in the midst of the cars, not at one stage (did) he (go to) manage the ... pedestrian participants. “The risk to people was horrendous.” Reddecliffe was also given an 18 month community corrections order, was ordered to take a safe driving program, to undertake 175 hours of community work and was disqualified from driving for two years.

iser, he said he was part of it but not the “runner” of the meetings. By the end of the interview he made full admissions. “Thanks for being honest,” informant Acting Detective Sergeant Luke Holmes told him. Reddecliffe replied: “I’m still f***ed.” Defence barrister Simon Bright said Reddecliffe, a legal speedway driver who competed twice a month and had low self-esteem, organised the meets as a social outlet. “He doesn’t need it to satisfy his urges to drive 1230360-DJ23-16
The ringleader - or self-described “king” - of South East Skids hoon meets has been sentenced to jail for three months. Marcus Cory Reddecliffe, 25, pleaded guilty to five counts of inciting reckless conduct endangering serious injury at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 29 June. He was soon released on bail after he lodged an appeal against his sentence with the County Court. Reddecliffe was the sole organiser of five meets which were held in several industrial areas in December 2015 and January 2016. The hoons and up to 400 spectators assembled and shifted venues regularly in a night at the direction of Reddecliffe by text or by yelling to the crowd, the court heard. The accused used the pseudonym ‘KING OF SES’ in his text messages - more than 750 of them on the day of one meet, police prosecutor Acting Sergeant Cameron Smithett told the court. The bowl was circled by spectators without safety barriers between them and the cars which were wildly circling and skidding at high speed sometimes two or three cars at a time. Up to 12 spectators at times wandered into the smoke-filled bowl to film on their phones. On one occasion a young woman was knocked from her feet and hospitalised after being struck by convicted skids participant Mitchell McCullagh’s veering car at a September meet. Reddecliffe did not take on the organisation of the events until two months later, but knew of the incident at the time, the court heard. The nights usually ended in Licola Crescent, Dandenong South, due to its large turnaround bowl and isolation. There, cars and drivers were captured on camera by Taskforce Regarder police who charged 41 people. About 13 participants have had their cars forfeited and crushed and some have been jailed - a judicial response that has ceased the skid meets, police have said. During his police interview, Reddecliffe initially denied several times that he was the organiser, though uttering that he was destined for jail. He denied he was captured on several grabs of footage, and claimed he forwarded texts of skid meet details rather than initiated them. On one of his meet nights, he went to his regular Tuesday tennis, he told police and was in bed at 10pm. When told of a telephone intercept that recorded Reddecliffe conceding he was the organ-

Safe seat Byrne back in By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS One certainty from the decidedly undecided 2 July federal election wash-up was re-elected Holt MP Anthony Byrne. The Labor incumbent rode a 5.34 per cent swing to boost his two-party-preferred margin to a safe 14.5 per cent, according to the latest Australian Electoral Commission figures. Mr Byrne, who has held Holt since 1999, is set to extend his reign to two decades as a result. His nearest rival was Liberal 21-year-old James Mathias, who suffered a 3 per cent swing against him. The Greens, Family First and Rise Up Australia recorded small boosts to their primary votes while a host of other minor parties that didn’t recontest the seat. Mr Byrne’s swing was roughly double the proALP swing in neighbouring seats such as Bruce
(2.9 per cent), La Trobe (3.1 per cent) and Isaacs (2 per cent). Less certain is the national landscape with 8-13 undecided seats. Both the prospects of a majority Coalition government or a hung Parliament were in play. Mr Mathias shared Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s confidence in forming government in his own right but acknowledged the rise of the “Xenophon factor” in South Australia and independents. On Mr Turnbull’s tenure, Mr Mathias said there was “always speculation” after elections but thought his leader ran an “incredibly good campaign”. “I think we were up against a lot of dishonesty from our opponents.” Mr Mathias thought he had a “good story to tell” particularly on high youth unemployment and Thompsons Road and Monash Freeway upgrades. “What I saw on election day was an incredibly
high number of people ask me if I was out of high school yet, and whether I was old enough to do it. “What me running in Holt was trying to do was to start a conversation, to shift a culture. To give someone younger a chance.” He was particularly disappointed by the likely ousting of Longman MP Wyatt Roy - the youngest ever federal MP. On the local front, Mr Mathias was overwhelmed by Mr Byrne’s postal vote campaign that “put me behind by 8500 votes before 8am on election day”. Up to three union representatives “surrounded” Mr Mathias, handing out pro-ALP slogans and pamphlets at the Cranbourne pre-poll voting centre. These were resources that the Liberal Party couldn’t match, Mr Mathias said. Mr Byrne’s office didn’t return calls by print deadline.

In Brief Teen admits behead terror plot A teenager has pleaded guilty to plotting to behead a police officer and shoot bystanders during an Anzac Day service in Dandenong last year. At a brief hearing at the Supreme Court, Sevdet Besim, 19, of Hallam, pleaded guilty to colluding with a teenage boy in the UK to carry out the terror attack. He appeared on Thursday morning, 30 June, to answer charges that he carried out an act in preparation or planning for a terrorist attack. The offence carries a maximum of life imprisonment. According to Australian Federal Police, Besim had planned to drive into a police officer with a car, behead the officer and use their gun to shoot other people. He also had plans to stuff explosives into a kangaroo’s pouch, paint it with an Islamic State symbol and let it run among police officers. Besim is due to appear at a plea hearing at the Supreme Court on 1 August.
Driver reverses and flees A driver careered towards a police officer before reversing and fleeing the scene during a Friday morning confrontation in Dandenong. Uniform police were following a black Audi along Cheltenham Road when it stopped near Sinclair Street just after 11am on 24 June. “The vehicle is of interest to us in relation to an unrelated matter,” Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Acting Sergeant Luke Shore said. “The driver put it in reverse and accelerated heavily the wrong way down Cheltenham Road,” Det Act Sgt Shore said. One of the officers was moving towards the Audi on the median strip when the driver switched gears and came back towards him. Det Acting Sgt Shore said he switched back into reverse, and then took off east along Cheltenham Road.
Hooded gunmen rob store Two balaclava-clad men produced a shotgun during a Dandenong TattsLotto store robbery. They entered the Hemmings Street shop about 6pm on Friday 24 June. One approached the counter at the rear, produced a sawn-off shotgun and demanded cash from the 28-year-old attendant but there was no cash to hand over because the store was closed. But the armed man continued his demands and pushed through the counter towards the victim, who then handed over his wallet. A 42-year-old man then entered the store. The bandit pointed the gun at him before fleeing with his accomplice.

Looking Back 100 years ago, 8 July 1916 The War English Tourists in France Previous to the war, huge sums of money were annually spent in France by English motorists during the touring season. Despite the war, the French authorities, recognising the importance of this annual influx of moneyed motorists, are appealing that English tourists should continue to make their annual trip. The English will be received in France with enthusiasm and we are arranging that hotels will be open in all interesting districts except, of course, in the military zones, where it is impossible to travel by road or rail. Certain formalities have to be gone through for the use of cars or long railway journeys. However, travellers are to be reassured that they will not meet with the Austro Ger-
Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society man element and will continue to encounter the traditional kindness and hearty welcome of the French “Belle France”. 50 years ago, 7 July 1966 Fire fought under a hail of bullets Firemen risked their lives in a hail of exploding ammunition as they fought a spectacular $20,000 fire at Springvale on Monday night. Bullets and cartridges whistled around 15 firemen as they battled the outbreak at the Springvale Road sports goods store owned by Mr Reg Saunders of Lightwood Road, Noble Park. Ammunition stored in the shop exploded as flames reached it, and firemen said at times the scene resembled a full-scale military battle. Miraculously no firemen were seriously hurt, although three received minor injuries. Doors in shops 25 yards across Spring-
vale Road were later found to be pitted with bullet holes. Mr Saunders said he had almost a tonne of ammunition stored in the shop.

20 years ago, 1 July 1996 Staff cuts hit hard At least nine jobs have been axed at Dandenong Hospital in the past two weeks. Last week six staff, including four senior department heads, were made redundant and told to finish on Friday. Two weeks earlier, two senior nursing staff and a nursing co-ordinator were made redundant. A Journal source said they believed the redundancies were due to a “continually diminishing” budget. As part of sweeping changes to Victoria’s hospitals, the Southern Health Care Network, which administers the hospital, recently ap-
5 years ago, 4 July 2011 Rail station’s OK, say police Although Dandenong recorded the second highest number of assaults at Melbourne railway stations last year, local police say it’s not as bad as it seems. It was revealed last week that there were 28 assaults at the Dandenong station last year, second only to Flinders Street with 31. But Senior Sergeant Mick Martin of Dandenong police said the figures needed to be put into context. He said that considering the railway station was a transit hub used by thousands of people each week, 28 assaults for the year was “actually quite minimal”.
Boyds marched with the times What’s In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city’s bestknown street names. This week the Journal looks at central Dandenong’s Boyd Lane, named for the Gippsland Hardware Company’s owners. Boyd Lane was named after the Boyd family, which owned and operated Gippsland Hardware Company. Reg Boyd, along with his son Jim and his two daughters Mrs Cunningham and Mrs Storer, opened the Gippsland Hardware Company in 1945. Under Reg’s shrewd guidance, he and his family built the business up to be the biggest of its kind in Dandenong. To cope with the growth, the Boyds erected a modern new building at 236 Lonsdale Street. It stood where the Dandenong Arcade is located today, and ran all the way through to McCrae Street, now home to Palm Plaza. In April 1954, the Argus newspaper reported
WHAT’S IN A
NAME that the Gippsland Hardware Company was “rebuilding at a cost of ?£50,000”. Soon after, Reg opened the newly-restored shop which was considered at the time to be a thoroughly modern enterprise. The Age newspaper on 21 April, 1954, said Reg that day opened “what must be the most upto-date newsagency in Australia” in the building, which also had a crockery department and a library. The report said that Reg and his staff “worked throughout Easter to have the premises ready for trading yesterday”.
“Features of the news agency are pastel colours, movable stands, display shelves right around the area, and room for customers to move where they like: in other words, the floor space is occupied by islands.” The article also said that Reg served as a stoker in the Royal Australian Navy during World War I, on the AE2 submarine and the original cruiser Australia. The Gippsland Hardware Company business
continued to grow and eventually employed 34 staff, all of whom continued to work for the business after its sale to GN Raymond Ltd in 1962. The sale of the business was reported locally as being “the biggest take-over deal yet on the Golden Mile involving an undisclosed cash sum”. Reg died in June 1963, the year after he sold the business and retired. The Boyd business was a hallmark of the remarkable growth that Dandenong witnessed following the end of the World War II and Reg was praised as “marching with the times”. The City of Greater Dandenong last year installed signage in Boyds Lane to share the family story. This sign is on the side wall of the original Boyds building. Part of the original brick facade is still visible on the Lonsdale Street building. Want to know the history behind a street name in Greater Dandenong? Let us know and we’ll find out!

An exclusive court document reveals Hawthorn AFL footballer Bradley Maitland Hill allegedly headbutted and twice punched a man in the face during a Narre Warren nightclub assault in January. Hill, 22, was spared conviction and placed on a 12-month diversion program for a single charge of assault at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 27 June. Star News was provided exclusive access to the summary of facts agreed by Hill’s legal team and police, and heard within chambers of Dandenong Magistrates’ Court earlier that day. According to the summary of the facts, the assault occurred after Hill reacted to a 21-year-old Berwick man saying “Where are you going?” to a female in Hill’s group as they left the R & B room dance floor in Empire night club, about 12.15am on 24 January. The man denies he allegedly grabbed the female’s bottom as she walked past, the summary states. Hill walked up to the man, confronting him about what he said to the female. The two men stood face-to-face with their heads touching. The victim claimed Hill then head-butted him and twice punched him in the face. A short time later, Empire’s security members ejected the victim and his friends from the night club. Hill left with his group of friends from the night club a short time later. The summary states several people witnessed the assault, including a bystander not connected to either party. In an interview at Narre Warren Police Station later that day, Hill denied punching the victim and stated there were no injuries to either party. Hill stated the other man got angry as their
heads leaned against each other so Hill pushed him to create some distance. The victim then pushed Hill, and Hill pushed back in retaliation, the accused told police. Hill said his girlfriend dragged him away from the altercation. In sentencing, Mr Vandersteen said he took into account Hill’s young age and remorse and that it was an isolated incident. The diversion was not objected to by the victim. Hill was described as a quiet, reserved person with an infectious smile who was involved in community Indigenous programs and a St Vincent’s food van, Mr Vandersteen said. As a professional footballer, Hill had put himself in a “high level of risk” during the incident but alcohol and drugs were not a factor, Mr Vandersteen said. aThe magistrate took into account Hill’s “extra-curial” punishment because of his high profile as an AFL player. “I accept this is a salient experience for you.” Hill must donate $1000 to the court’s charity fund, write an apology to the victim and will also write a letter of gratitude to the police officer who recommended him for diversion. If this is done and Hill remains on good behaviour for 12 months, his charges will be dismissed. Hawthorn Football Club football operations general manager Chris Fagan stated after sentencing that the club would require Hill to donate a further $1000 to Step Back Think, a not-for-profit organisation focused on the prevention of social violence. “Bradley has kept the club informed throughout this entire process and was counselled on the matter in January. “The club now considers the matter resolved, and will make no further comment.”
Relay teams will be put to a steep endurance test at the MS 24-hour Mega Swim at Casey RACE on 9 July. Each swimming team has to have a swimmer in the water over the 24 hours. Their efforts are part of a national fundraiser for multiple sclerosis (MS) support services and an MS Go For Gold Scholarship. RACE manager Barry Harrison said the event was a reminder that living with MS was a 24hour, seven-day-a-week challenge. “Some swim for 10 minutes, others swim for three hours. “You don’t even need to swim. You can simply sit on the sideline and make a donation.” For details, call Casey RACE on 5990 8600 or visit msmegaswim.org.au

Danish honour By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Hallam-based Wastech Engineering has added an international award to its rapidly filling trophy collection. On 27 June, the recycling manufacturers were presented by Danish Ambassador Borge Petersen and Danish deputy consul general Rikke Scheel Gamborg with the lofty His Royal Highness Prince Heinrik’s Medal of Honour. The award recognises Wastech’s service to trade relations between Denmark and Australia. The ties had been forged between Wastech director Neil Bone and Danish-based company Bramidan chief executive Henrik Dueholm Madsen during a chat at an expo in Melbourne in 2001. Since then Wastech has distributed a growing number of Bramidan’s cardboard balers in a variety of sizes to supermarkets and other businesses in Australia. In that time, both partners have prospered. Mr Madsen returned to Australia for a two-day

visit especially for the formal medal presentation. He told Star News he had chosen to partner Wastech 15 years ago on “pure stomach feeling”. “We have grown together. Bramidan is now four to five times bigger. “We have a very big market share in Australia, and (Wastech) are one of our best distributors globally.” Mr Bone said at the time of the first encounter Wastech was in its infancy. “We started with nothing. We were starting behind the pack.” Now Wastech turns over $45 million annually - more than seven times the figure in 2001. Mr Bone said Wastech had compared notes with its Danish partner on such things as quality standards and service networks. Ambassador Petersen said the prestigious medal recognised a company that had achieved excellence in promoting Danish products over a number of years. “It’s something one can be proud of,” Ambassador Petersen said.

Ray of light dims after funds are cut By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
1230670-LB23-16
A Polish senior citizen club in Doveton is in limbo after its modest community group grant was not renewed. The Polish Forty Plus Club, which has 15 members aged up to 92 years, was established thanks to a Home and Community Care state grant in 2015-16. A club petition to Casey council said the club was a “ray of light at the end of a dark lifetime” for one of Melbourne’s densest enclaves of residents of Polish background. Polish Community Council of Victoria team leader Joanna Dolebiowska said that as of 1 July, the funding runs out and the lights go out on the group. The HACC funding is provided by the State Government and administered by Casey council. Ms Dolebiowska said Casey had helped create a vital social outlet for the group members, many who don’t speak English and are otherwise
isolated. It meets for exercise, healthy meals, singing, art, crafts, outings and talks. The club boasts that it is one of the most active of the Polish planned activity groups in the region. “Casey council did an amazing job. They were fantastic to us,” Ms Dolebiowska said. Councillor Rafal Kaplon said the “one of a kind” group needed to re-apply for HACC funding. He believed its application would be looked upon favourably, especially after submitting its petition. “According to the last census, Endeavour Hills has the largest concentration of residents of Polish background. “The intention of these funds are to make these groups self-funding but I understand this group has only had one year of funding. “It takes time to be self-funding.”

A better way to get jobs done
Angela Docherty is searching for long-lost family, which was last known to be living in Dandenong. Her great aunt and uncle Alexander and Catherine Walker (nee Robson) emigrated to Australia in the 1950s under the 10-pound-pom scheme and had two children, Sandra and Cathie. “The last known address I have for them is 3 Fadden Street, Dandenong, but cannot find any trace of them since,” she said. “I would greatly appreciate any information anyone has on where they could have gone or if they perhaps knew the family.
Councillor Roz Blades was visibly shaken after Cr Peter Brown several times interrupted her to call a “point of order” while she tried to comment on the green wedge at the Monday 27 June Greater Dandenong Council meeting. Cr Brown later defended his behaviour in an email detailing the meeting procedures. “Since being first elected to a defunct council in 1987 ... one would have thought that Cr Blades would have learnt something about formal meeting procedure. Or perhaps, like myself, as we age, we forget.”
Councillor Maria Sampey has signed the new Councillor Code of Conduct - despite pledging a month ago to refuse. The Journal on 24 May reported that she risked disqualification if she didn’t sign the updated document - a Local Government Act requirement. But she put pen to paper at a special meeting on Monday 27 June. She had questioned why members of parliament and council staff didn’t have to sign.
There was a rather telling fashion statement worn by a man in custody who was brought into the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. On the front of his white T-shirt was emblazoned in Gothic font: “Doin’ Time”. Surely it’s a slogan that ought to appear on prison-issue tracksuits.
“You’ve bullied me out of it, well done.”

Wellsprings for women has recently received a $50,000 boost to launch a new program called Productive Learning in Australia which aims to remove stumbling stones and forge pathways for CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) women. The program intends to develop entrepreneurial and retail skills by encouraging the sale of locally made and culturally rich products. This would be a great opportunity for Wellsprings to work closely with local retail organisations. Besides, it will be a remarkable breakthrough for locals toget off the treadmill of unemployment and take off to work or further study. Wellsprings for Women encourages women to fulfil their potential, provides a welcoming and supportive environment, particularly for isolated women, is committed to life-long learning, works in partnership with many other local agencies and has a low-cost fee policy.

Stars in the making IN its eighth year the spotlight beamed down on Casey’s up-and-coming stars for the Cancer Council. Rap, musical theatre, pop, and instrumental artists took centre stage on Sunday 26 June ahead of the ‘Star Search for a Cause’ grand final. Judges put through 14 competitors for the grand final to be held at Westfield Fountain Gate on July 24. With a crowd of around 280 people, event organiser Casey councillor Louise Berkelmans said more than $4000 was raised on the night, contributing to a grand total of $20,000 raised to support cancer research over the past eight years. “We had four age sections from under 10 year olds to 30 and above - our youngest performer was seven years old and she has gone through to the grand final,” Cr Berkelmans said. The audience watched 26 performers belt it out on the Arthur Wren Hall stage and Cr Berklemans said lowering the age range for competitors was a success.

Looking back at storyteller Jack By NARELLE COULTER Jack Johnson loved a yarn. He could talk for hours about his favourite topics - his adored wife Frances, his six children, his growing brood of grandchildren and, most of all, his beloved Dandenong. The final chapter of Jack’s own story was written on Saturday 25 June when he died aged 87. I first met Jack in 2014. Legendary Journal reporter Marg Stork had recently died and her passing marked the end of her column, A Moment With Marg. The wonderful volunteers at the Dandenong and District Historical Society insisted I talk to Jack, pressing a copy of his book, When the Clock Strikes, into my hands. Jack was delighted when I asked for permission to serialise his book in the Journal. Published in 2009, the book captures in vivid detail the rural market town which was Dandenong in the 1930s. “We were children of an almost virgin landscape, of pristine little creeks that meandered through the beautiful natural expanse of the Dandenong Valley as it swept up and into the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges and led us, as young explorers in short pants, into the hills of Narre Warren North, Harkaway and the areas that would become Doveton, Endeavour Hills, Hallam and Rowville,” he wrote. In subsequent pages he chronicled his memories of Dandenong Market when it was primarily a livestock market, the Dandenong Show when it was a highlight of the town’s social calendar, of dances at the town hall and of the faces and personalities of Dandenong. Jack himself became a plumber. In his eulogy to his father, son Brendan said no one could dig a trench as straight as Jack. Jack and his wife Frances raised six children in
The late John ‘Jack’ Edward Johnson. their home in Macpherson Street. Brendan said his dad had the “biggest and kindest heart”. “He taught us to swim, ride bikes and rescue birds. He loved nature.” Brendan recalled Jack’s wicked sense of humour, the sparkle in his eye, his ubiquitous blue plumbers’ overalls, Sunday lunch accompanied by Chopin and lots of cups of tea. Jack was, said Brendan, a “great storyteller” and that his prodigious memory was “something to behold and admire”. He said that the only time his father had been lost for words was at the launch of his book, the publication of which was one of many highlights in an “amazing” life. In 2009, as he wrote the final pages of his book,
Business profile
Jack described looking out the window of his upstairs study across the rooftops at the lights of Doveton and Endeavour Hills. He described a yearning for the stillness of the bush and grassland of his childhood. “I long for the purity of air and the sparkling waters of our little creeks, I long for the deep total darkness of a moonless and starless night that envelops you like a black velvet cloak; of a time when only a few tiny lights lit Lonsdale Street and the only other light was the very faint glow of a hurricane lantern hung from the rafter of a milking shed, or a kerosene lamp sitting on the kitchen table of a nearby farmhouse.” Silence and peace are now Jack’s for eternity. His voice, however, will live on in his rich recollections of the town he loved.

Weighing up the health benefits According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian Health Survey 2011–12, 63 per cent of Australian adults are overweight - that is two out of three people. That figure had increased by 10 per cent from 1995. Exercising alone can be hard, however exercising as a group with similar goals can help motivate and encourage you to get fit and stay fit. The Noble Park Aquatic Centre has listened to its members and has significantly increased both the variety and number of group fitness classes. The timetable now includes Zumba, Easy Movers and a Circuit Class. The centre has also scheduled more aqua and Pilates classes to complement its tai chi, yoga and
water-based classes. After participating in a recent Aqua aerobics class, Noble Park Aquatic Centre manager Brian Minett was converted. “The social aspect and health benefits of the Aqua classes are undervalued,” he said. “It’s never too late to start exercising and the friendly and fun Aqua group make it so much more enjoyable than exercising by yourself.” In a push to encourage more people to try out group fitness, the centre is offering class members the chance to bring a friend along during July and only pay for one person. Noble Park Aquatic Centre is at 9 Memorial Drive, Noble Park. Phone 9546 7955.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Transport move was a blessing By CASEY NEILL A trucking giant and fellow Saint started John Rowe on a 50-year career in road transport. The 77-year-old owns Dandenong South’s Victorian Freight Specialists and was a finalist for the Outstanding Contribution to the Australian Trucking Industry honour at the National Trucking Industry Awards. The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) announced the winners at its national conference, Trucking Australia, on the Gold Coast on Saturday 25 June. Mr Rowe missed out, but ATA chief executive Christopher Melham said the finalists were among the most dedicated and professional individuals and businesses in the industry. A grin spread across Mr Rowe’s face when he was asked how he ended up in trucking. “That was a long time before you were born,” he said. “Back in 1956 I went to St Kilda to play reserves and I met Lindsay Fox, who was captain of the thirds. “We were teammates right through five years at St Kilda. “Then I went overseas, came back and Lindsay asked me if I’d like to come and work for him because, in his words, he aimed to create the largest privately owned transport company in Australia. “He was a charismatic character and for some reason I said ‘Lindsay, I’m married with a young kid, I’ve got a decent job, but I will’. “I worked for Lindsay for eight years. “I got a grounding in transport then, which I didn’t know anything about. “I’ve been in transport ever since.” Mr Rowe left the Fox empire for TNT and was there for 25 years. He was headhunted to a document courier, where he was made redundant at age 57.
Victorian Freight Specialists’ John Rowe. 153539 “It was pretty scary,” he said. His time in footy again came in handy, connecting him with the Sydney Swans’ first coach Rick Quade. He owned a national transport company in Sydney and brought Mr Rowe on board as a consultant. After a year, in 1998, he offered to sell him the

With former TNT colleague Roland Neef, “we took over this ailing business that was running about $3 million a year in 2000 square metres of depot in Clayton”. “Now we’ve got a business that’s turning over $40 million,” Mr Rowe said. “We’ve got 18,000 square metres here and
New arrivals getting down to business of making jobs Asylum seekers granted the right to work are building businesses and providing jobs for others. AMES provides settlement, education, training and employment service to newly-arrived migrants and asylum seekers. It recently completed an audit of asylum seeker clients who’d been given work rights and then started businesses. AMES identified about 100 and it has so far documented 50, with the businesses covering retail, hospitality, clothes-making, tiling, painting, dog-walking, home maintenance, photography and more. The audit found that many of the asylum seekers started their business when they were unable to find permanent and durable employment elsewhere. AMES Australia CEO Cath Scarth said asylum seekers and other new arrivals to Australia faced significant barriers to joining the workforce, including a lack of English language proficiency and local work experience. They also have trouble with Australian businesses not recognising their overseas qualifications, and not understanding Australian workplace culture and the job market. Ms Scarth said the increasing number of asylum seekers starting businesses was “not surprising”. “This just validates what we’ve always seen with refugees and asylum seekers; that they have strong entrepreneurial spirits,” she said. “For more than 50 years refugees have been the backbone of entrepreneurship in Australia, helping to build this country, and nothing has changed. “Most of the refugees we see as clients are incredibly resilient and resourceful and it comes as no surprise that many of them are striking out to start their own businesses.”

Joining forces to build manufacturing skills program Two Dandenong heavyweights are joining forces to boost manufacturing skills. Chisholm Institute and Bombardier Transportation announced a new training and employment partnership on Thursday 30 June. The TAFE will deliver a five-year Skills Development Program for more than 300 new and existing production, services and managerial staff 30 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 4 July, 2016
on-site at Bombardier’s manufacturing hub in Dandenong. Chisholm Institute CEO Maria Peters said the training would support Bombardier’s existing workforce and projects and further strengthen employee capabilities in manufacturing, engineering and asset life maintenance. “Working with them allows us to deliver on our promise of putting people’s training to
work and upskilling their existing and future employees,” she said. “The partnership has been designed for Bombardier to further develop career pathways for each of their business units, providing every employee a prospect for career progression and long-term employment within the engineering, manufacturing and maintenance functions of the business.”
10,000 square meters in Altona - they’re our two transport depots. “We would be the largest regional general carrier going into Victorian country. “We’ve become a one-stop-shop for all the big companies.” A company wanting to send pallets into country Victoria would previously have dropped stock off at several different carriers in locations across the state. Victorian Freight Specialists will pick up the pallets, sort them and send them out. “We move 50 B-doubles and about 20 single trailers, five nights a week,” he said. “I’ve got a network of 28 country agents who we go to every night and they distribute for us.” Mr Rowe said his nomination recognised his network. “For so many years, big Melbourne companies have used up the country people,” he said. “I made a commitment 20 years ago when I bought this company that I would look after them. “Without the country people doing what they do, we wouldn’t be able to do it.” Family has also contributed to Victorian Freight Specialists’ success. Mr Rowe’s son Jonathan has stepped into his shoes as CEO and his nephews Clayton and Cameron Forbes are the finance and information technology directors respectively. “They’re all young people and they all have a share of the business now, so they have an extra incentive to do the right thing,” he said. Mr Neef has retired but Mr Rowe still visits the office regularly to act as a mentor. “You can’t replace that knowledge, that operational knowledge,” he said. “While they still ask me for help and want to know this and want to know that, I’m still happy to come in. “It’s not a chore for me because I gave birth to it, it’s my baby.”
Web power for business expo THE Hampton Park Networking Group is set to hold a business to business expo in conjunction with Small Business Festival Victoria and the City of Casey Tech Expo. The event will be held from 6-9pm on 11 August at the Arthur Wren Hall, Stuart Avenue, Hampton Park. A special 5pm workshop How Can I Use the Power of the Web to Grow My Business? will be held at 5pm and hosted by Glenn Phelps of Outsourced IT and Luke Trewin of Modern Visual. The event will include informative keynotes, interactive show floor features, oneon-one counselling and networking, according to HPNG secretary Sarah Stringer. She said the Business 2 Business Expo is a one-night business only event and will include a valuable workshop and 50 exhibits. “The mission of the expo is to promote local business, connections, leadership and job creation,” Ms Stringer said. “In addition to the expo, there will be networking events taking place throughout the year, bringing back attendees and sponsors for more partnerships and job references. “This event will cover a wide range of practical business topics such as business planning, marketing, social media, networking, financial management, employment and much more. “The Business 2 Business Expo will present an exciting range of new products, franchises, services and innovations to help your business grow. “Business owners and decision makers can see live demonstrations of new products and services on the show floor whilst networking with like-minded people in an exciting and fun environment that will pay dividends back at the office.

Riley Baird was told to take a spell from his magic tricks. 156164
Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
Magic moment By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IN THIS austere rates-capping era, perhaps it takes some magic feat for Casey council to deliver a sound budget. Never fear, Riley Baird of Narre Warren South was on hand - with magician’s cape, wand and basket - to conjure some suggestions at a special council meeting on 28 July. Mr Baird, with several other residents, was there to give five-minute presentations about the draft 2016-17 budget. With some pizzazz, Mr Baird planned to pull his tough savings measures out of the basket, such as scrapping the artist-in-residence at Berwick’s Old Cheese Factory, electronic scoreboards, and the annual replacement of flags and banners. He agreed with another submitter, Free Software Melbourne, which estimated $1.2 million in savings if the council administration switched to open-source software. Mr Baird took aim at some of the council’s
steepest fee-rises, particularly at kindergartens which was up 34.5 per cent in 2016-17. Unfortunately for Mr Baird, his powers were no match for Mayor Sam Aziz’s “no shenanigans” policy. In short, he was told to take a spell from his magic act. Councillor Aziz told the sorcerer that the meeting was not to be trivialised by a “clown’s audition” but allowed him to resume without magic props. “He gave us some superficial and irrelevant issues, and some questions that were misguided.” All but one of the submitters were “lacking in depth of understanding how council works and completely short-sighted in ignoring the growth pressures that council is confronting”. In retort, Mr Baird told Star News: “(Cr Aziz) may think that parents having to pay an extra $400 a year in kinder fees is superficial, but this increase is something that many families will have difficulty affording.”
Artist Kristin McFarlane with etchings created by students and migrants. 156268
Cultural art works are up to scratch By CASEY NEILL Glass panels will reflect cultures from around the world in a new art project. Artist Kristin McFarlane’s Here and Now will bring together about 100 separate glass etchings in a large installation at the Drum Theatre from 1 to 31 August. People can contribute through public workshops at the Drum Theatre from 10am to noon on Friday 8 July and at Dandenong Library from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on Tuesday 12 July. She was impressed by what students and migrants produced in recent workshops, particularly an intricate design by a grade five boy that replicated a fish design that traditionally appears on Vietnamese dresses. Ms McFarlane said the participants used pencil to sketch a design on black paper, drew over it with a white pen, and placed it under the glass as a guide for their etching. She asked them to create an image that represented a fragment of fabric or pattern of importance that spoke to their cultural background.
Ms McFarlane has replicated fabric details from the dress collection of Dorothy Hart, who owned Benga House at Heritage Hill, and those designs will also appear in the finished project. The month-long Cultural Threads will build on its 2014 incarnation and celebrate textile art and cultural diversity. The City of Greater Dandenong-hosted event will feature knitting, crocheting, dyeing, weaving, needlepoint, yarn art and other skills. People of all ages and backgrounds will be guided by some of Australia’s most celebrated artists to forge connections, trade skills, share stories and interweave cultures. There’ll be activities at multiple venues including the Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre, Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens, the Drum Theatre, the Dandenong and Springvale libraries and Harmony Square. Intricate and colourful installations will adorn the municipality throughout Cultural Threads, which is a satellite event of Craft Victoria’s Craft Cubed Festival.

Man runs down his dad in truck By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A drug addict is facing jail after pleading guilty to running down his dad in a truck, breaking into his parents’ holiday house and speeding at 98km/h on Bald Hill Road, Pakenham. The 35-year-old father of two, when arrested on 2 June, told police that he was going to “smash” his father’s head in with a golf club, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told. “You’ll be charging me with murder. I’m going to f***ing kill him,” the man allegedly told police. He was homeless at the time when he arrived at his parents’ Narre Warren North home unannounced three times, and verbally abused family members in late May, the court heard on 27 June. Each time he was in breach of intervention orders protecting his family. On the third occasion, the “agitated” and “emotional” man yelled at his mother: “You’re dead, c***” due to her packing up his belongings after finding a bag of his marijuana clippings. The man was asked to leave, but wandered into the parents’ backyard, picked up a steel bar and threatened to smash his father’s truck, police prosecutor Senior Constable Chris Capuano told the court. After his father implored him to stop, the man dropped the bar and drove the vehicle at his father. The truck struck a container, which was pushed onto the father’s leg, trapping him.
The man told his father, who had dropped to the ground, to “stop faking the injury”, Sen Const Capuano said. The man left the scene, reversing a vehicle out the driveway at a fast speed and almost colliding with a fence. On 31 May, the accused was seen driving a stolen blue Commodore station wagon at a fast speed through the Bald Hill and Racecourse roads roundabout in Pakenham. Shortly after, at 1.43am, police recorded his 98 km/h speed in the 60 km/h zone. The man told police he had borrowed the car from a friend at a Ferntree Gully address - where the car was reported stolen two days earlier. He admitted he’d attached stolen number plates and was found with a 400ml container that was one-third full of “green vegetable matter”. The man’s lawyer said there were “serious mental issues at play”, including bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression along with an addiction to ice and cannabis. When released from custody, a friend prepared to support the man who had work lined up. The man pleaded guilty after magistrate Jack Vandersteen declined to give a sentence indication because of the high level of violence and threats. He adjourned sentencing until 28 August, pending a psychological report on the accused.
All that jazz wins marketing award Narre Warren apple grower Montague has been named the apple and pear industry’s most innovative marketer in 2016. Montague received the award for its trademarked Jazz apple campaign at the 2016 AUSVEG and Apple and Pear Australia Limited national awards on 25 June. The fourth-generation family business re-
cently celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Jazz’s first planting. It was launched in shops in 2009 as a sweet, tangy apple variety and has grown markedly in popularity. Its latest apple, Eve, was launched last week. Montague trading category manager Michael Stockx said it was exciting to be rewarded for the hard work put into the 10-year campaign.

SPORT Sport stadium silver celebrated By JARROD POTTER Dandenong Stadium - the home of south east basketball and volleyball stars - was properly celebrated on Wednesday to mark its 25th anniversary. Players, administrators and well-wishers alike united on Wednesday afternoon to commemorate a quarter-century of elite sport under the roof at Stud Road. The City of Dandenong saw the need for the stadium - after years of basketball and netball communities playing at sporadic courts and halls across the city - and allocated the vast tracts of land on the corner of the Monash Freeway to make the players’ local sporting dreams a reality. The venue was opened to great fanfare on 2 June 1991 as one of the premier venues in the country to make your mark in basketball. The Dandenong Journal editorial of 6 June 1991 summed up the feeling the stadium brought to the community and the hard-work necessary by its volunteers and sporting devotees to bring it to life. “After years of hard work, cajoling, frustration, bargaining, fundraising and goodness knows what else, the Dandenong Indoor Sports Stadiums were official opened,” it read. “The opening was a tribute to the hundreds of people who over the years have carefully nurtured the growth of the two sports (basketball and netball).” From the greats of the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) and SEABL Dandenong Rangers teams, Olympians and NBA powerhouses all the way down to domestic stars - the stadium has been a proving ground for the south east’s best and brightest on court ever since. It was renovated to add volleyball to the mix in 2008 to give the stadium a plethora of patrons

south east as a whole as a destination venue for elite sport. “It’s a fantastic and huge thing for Dandenong Stadium, the city of greater Dandenong and bas-
ketball and volleyball that are key tenants in this venue,” Allen said. “To have a state-of-the-art facility that we have - recognised as the best in the country - it’s great for the people of this community to have this facility in their own backyard. “It’s great to see that it has expanded from being a community basketball centre to one of the most renowned in the country - national events in basketball and volleyball as well as international competitions are also held here.” Such is the acclaim of the Dandenong Stadium that it regularly hosts national championships, the National Junior Classic and other high-calibre basketball events like the recently held Basketball Without Borders satellite camp. “At the weekend, we had the NBA here and their response was that they wanted to pick it up and take it everywhere with them,” Allen said. “For them to say that is great recognition about what we do here and how lucky we are to have a facility like this in Dandenong.” Allen wanted to acknowledge the City of Greater Dandenong for its support of the venue throughout the two and a half decades the turnstiles have been rolling over and well into the future. “We have had the great support of the City of Greater Dandenong with the facility - without the council and their support and vision for this place we wouldn’t be where we here today,” Allen said. “There’s already works being done to facilitate a master-plan - to secure the future for the next 1015 years - and it’s exciting that we’re looking at it.” In other Dandenong news, Jayco has announced a two-year extension to its Naming Rights Sponsorship of the WNBL Rangers side. Jayco’s affiliation with Dandenong is the longest running naming rights sponsorship in WNBL history.

Narre North Foxes players Georgia Rundell, Theresa Cataldo, Taylah Saly and Shannen Herrech are keen to see the side launch a Youth Girls team in 2017. 156090 Picture: JARROD POTTER
Foxes keen to let the girls get on with the game By JARROD POTTER While premierships and league medals are always nice, the main aim for Narre North Foxes this year is simple - get in the position to start a Youth Girls team. The Foxes recently celebrated their 20th birthday and want to make sure the next 20 years and beyond are even more inclusive and supportive of all footballers in the region. Putting one or two Youth Girls teams in the black, grey and turquoise and joining the South East Juniors in 2017 is a big ambition, but Narre North has decided to give it a shot for a group of devoted junior girls on the verge of ‘ageing out’ of the boys competitions at the end of this year. Foxes under-14s players Georgia Rundell,
Theresa Cataldo, Taylah Saly and Shannen Herrech wanted to stay loyal and stick by the Foxes once they have to make the switch to the junior girls competition. Faced with leaving Narre North to join another club, the girls made it clear they’re not going anywhere and want to bring Youth Girls footy to the Foxes ranks. “It’s because it’s a good club and everybody is very supportive of us,” Cataldo said. “We can keep on playing here and continue with our footy career.” The club - and especially it’s coterie of keen female footballers - is keen to get both the senior aged Youth Girls and under-15 sides up and running in 2017 and will run a football clinic throughout the next month to generate some in-
terest and see if the numbers stack up for forming the side. “It means everything - we wanted this club to get involved,” Saly said. The Foxes’ girls football clinic will be run for footballers aged from eight to 17 of all experience levels to give them a taste of footy ahead of launching the 2017 team. The sessions will be held each Monday night starting on 11 July, with each clinic going from 5.30pm to 630pm at the Narre North Reserve. For more information on signing up for the clinic or getting involved with the Foxes’ female football program, contact the club at secretary@ narrenorthfoxes.com
Dandenong’s best and brightest cricketers have been picked in the Victorian Under-19 Metro trial squads for the 2016-17 season. Springvale South rising stars Matt Wetering and Ryan Quirk have made the grade, alongside Dandenong Premier Cricket up-and-comer Edward Newman. In a revamp to the Country versus Metro tournament this September in Barooga, there will be two squads representing each region, replacing the Academy Combined Under-19s and Academy Invitational Under-20s sides that took part in 2015. There’s more on offer for the Dandy-area boys in this year’s trials and High Performance Academy Coach Jarrad Loughman said the Barooga battle pits the best of the best. “The Under-20s side worked well last year and they provided a good test for the Under-19 boys, but this year we have the chance to give playing opportunities to 48 Under-19 aged players,” Loughman said. “Barooga offers a level playing field for all players in terms of competition for spots, with great conditions that allow for some quality cricket early in the season. “It’s the fifth year of the Barooga series and it has grown every year - we’ve extended the program in 2016 to include the Under-17 Country and Metro squads that will play practice matches ahead of the National Championships the following week.” The Barooga series will provide an opportunity for players to showcase their skills and press for selection in the Under-19 National Championships Country and Metro squads, which will be selected at the beginning of November ahead of the tournament beginning in Adelaide on 5 December. 37 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 4 July, 2016

Dandy Derby delivers thrilling NPL draw By JARROD POTTER NPL VICTORIA 2 - ROUND 19 Contrasing feelings were left at the end of Dandenong Derby 2, as the visiting Dandenong City and hosting Dandenong Thunder remained deadlocked 1-1. Both sides felt it was an opportunity squandered though - with errant shots and some questionable refereeing impacting both change-rooms after the 90-minute thriller at George Andrews Reserve. Getting bang for its buck early, Thunder opened the accounts with an extraordinary passage. Daniel Bennett (21’) kicked one of the goals of the year as his shot from far out on left side rocketed past City keeper Damir Salcin to the right as a virtually untouchable bullet. Salcin wouldn’t let any of the Thunder’s attacking efforts through his net again for the night as City clamped down. Dandenong Thunder unleashed 16-year-old striker Godwill Benjamin for his first start and the young speedster impressed. Benjamin terrorised the City defence over the left, as he almost found the match-winner on a few occasions late in the second half. But the game ebbed through the middle phases as neither side cashed in on big opportunities. While the game was hard-and-fast through the centre - as Thunder’s Brendan Elmazovski and Kristian Sarkies vied with City’s Keegan Ziada and Gonzalo Freddi among others - the true action was in the match-ups at either end. City skipper John Carroll and Halil Gur had the superhuman task of taking on Thunder striker Brandon Barnes, while Thunder’s evergreen Simon Colosimo and Faisal Sakhizada went to former team mate Amir Osmancevic. Neither Barnes nor Osmancevic would feature on the scoresheet at the end of the day, but not for a lack of trying, to highlight the gutsy efforts of both defences. Barnes had the better opportunities, especially late in the clash, as he struck the crossbar and fed a constant stream of chips and crosses into the box for Benjamin and the like. It would take a City spot kick from Dario Matkovic to turn the tables - as his curling, looping ball to the back of the box wasn’t cleared properly, allowing for a scrambled goal. It left the ledger even with 15 minutes left and Thunder surged to try and regain ascendency. Barnes and Benjamin went on the warpath to make their shots, with Salcin and Carroll in particular holding on despite the Thunder’s volleys. A contentious non-call on Benjamin getting held in the box let City off the hook to set up one last attempt of their own - with Freddi getting on the end of a slick pass from Ross Frame but missing in the clinch moment. In the end neither side could break the shackles once again, leaving Dandenong Thunder to retain the Jim Memeti Cup in one of the best matches in the Dandenong area history. “It’s a very basic equation - I think the game
Brendan Elmazovski created constantly for Thunder in the second Dandy Derby. 156321 Picture: JARROD POTTER should’ve been won by us,” Thunder coach Huss Skenderovic said. “We created enough chances ... if you don’t take them you don’t win the game. “We executed our game plan well and it should’ve been a very convincing win in the end by my standards and analysis on the game.” For City, it was a game of chances as well as a red-hot shot at knocking over the ladder leader came and went, leaving the third placed side to settle for a point. “I actually thought for probably the first 70 minutes of the game that we played the better football,” City coach Aaron Healey said. “Went behind to a goal that was a classy goal, a worldclass goal, but I still thought in the first half ... we were well in this game.
“In the second half we started again and for first probably 20 minutes ... we really put the pressure on them and scored a goal. “The 10 minutes after the goal it started to get a little bit interesting and in the last 10 minutes they came at us and threw the kitchen sink at us and were fortunate enough ... to get the point.” Third ranked Dandenong City hosts Goulburn Valley Suns while ladder leaders Dandenong Thunder is off to Murray United.

Gallant JOCs stop Unicorns By JARROD POTTER VAFA DIVISION 2 - ROUND 13 They’re battered. They’re bruised. But despite it all, St John’s remains the best in VAFA Division 2. The old boys from Melbourne High School threw everything they could at the JOCs - but throughout the worst of the barrage, the Dandy boys stood tall. A horror first half gave no favours to the home side trying to work its way back onto the winners’ list - as it sprayed its way to 1.7 (13) to 4.3 (27). The gut-run, dogged tackling and most determined aerial work in the second phase of the clash would have to be enough, with the black and green brigade determined to fire back. From all parts the JOCs machine started cranking up; Matt Nicholson and Aaron Thornton (two goals each) chipped away at the Unicorns’ lead before the hosts blew right past it to snare a small break at the final change. The fourth quarter was one for the ages as St John’s fought back time and time again ... then once more for measure. The Unicorns pranced right back into the match from the first bounce - booting the first. They would try again and again to upset the JOCs last line, but Liam O’Connor and Damien Wilsnach did some mighty work on the tricky MHSOB forwards. The skipper Glenn Costas continued a league medal worthy season as he scrambled under every pack alongside Corey Ladson, Brendan Ash and Matt Carter. Up the front, Thornton and Nicholson made the most of their limited opportunities ... as the ground-wide initiative started to grind the visitors out of the contest. The final roll of the MHSOB dice came from a long bomb up the middle, but Wilsnach made a match-saving spoil to find the awaiting hands of the skipper at the fall of the ball. He thumped it long to find its way to Nicholson who booted it home to take away any chance of the visitors’ stealing St John’s deserved 8.14 (62) to 8.5 (53) victory. “Gallant’s the word - down at half time by a good margin and we didn’t play well,” St John’s coach Ben McGee said. “To come back and do it with a side that’s got some first gamers in it was really pleasing. “Considerable reshaping at half time and after the debacle of last week, to repair at half time we were obviously able to fix where we were struggling. “Gallant win and showed a lot of character, but we’ve got so much work still in front of us to be able to us figuring in the big dance.” The bye could not have come at a better time for the 10-1 ladder leading JOCs, with a weekend off before battling Emmaus St Leos at home on 16 July.
Dandenong Stingrays great at dividing the Ranges By JARROD POTTER TAC CUP - ROUND 12 Storming the Eastern fortress, Dandenong Stingrays walked away with an emphatic 73-point triumph over the Ranges. After a gutsy first term, the inexperienced Ranges’ line-up fell away, never to return to the contest as Dandenong ran riot. Dandenong’s wayward kicking left the door slightly open at the first change, but from then on there would be no mercy. With a centre resembling a chocolate pudding pile, those who dirtied up were clear standouts. The muddy Rays cleanly possessed the pill and left the mostly stain-free Ranges to go home and lightly soak their tops in defeat. It started from the tap-down work of Dylan Atkins - who can’t continue to fly under the radar for much longer - to the interior force of Max Kleverkamp, Tommy Glen, Mitch Lewis, Nathan Scagliarini and newcomer Jack Gipp. They showed the only way to shine in the con38 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 4 July, 2016
ditions was to get elbow deep in the quagmire and emerge with clearance after clearance to the dismay of the Eastern brigade. The Dandy mudmen set the stage for easy transition work out the midfield and clinical passing. The likes of Riley D’Arcy (four goals) and Tom Murphy (three goals) kept their names in the reckoning for Stingrays selection once the prime movers return - both impressing as central targets. Dandy’s in-and-under types Chad Harris and Danny Allsop (two goals each) left the Eastern defences in pieces as well in great performances. Berwick debutant Dylan Morris was another to slot a goal and was mobbed by his filthy team mates to celebrate the first, of hopefully many, TAC Cup majors. Pleasingly for the Rays, even when the margin ballooned out through the third term, the effort remained. Tackles were still bone-rattling. The defenders still spoiled strongly.
Above all, every Ray held his head up and didn’t give in until the last siren. For Stingrays coach Craig Black, it was the perfect way to bounce back from last week’s lacklustre loss to Calder. “It’s just a credit to the group - looking at them after the game last week they were disappointed with the result and Aiden Bonar getting injured,” Black said. “As a coach I think you just love what you saw today. “I reckon our style of footy this year is a bit different than the last couple - I reckon we’re a little bit better suited to a bigger ground and that’s why the guys work hard pre-season. “We were lucky enough to win by a big margin, but our effort around the contests was completely different to last week.” The win keeps Dandenong well placed heading into the last phase before finals, sitting fourth behind Geelong, Sandringham and Murray. They’ll head to Oakleigh on Saturday and wear the Dandenong Redlegs guernseys in honour of the former VFA side. The match starts at 1pm.

Dandenong the winner from NBA worldwide camp By RUSSELL BENNETT Basketball diehards from right across Melbourne’s south-east were treated recently to an hour with NBA royalty at the Dandenong Basketball Stadium. As part of the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders program, the Dandenong stadium hosted Australia’s first ever satellite camp last week. The program brings together the top male players born in 1999 from around the Asia Pacific region to learn from NBA and International Basketball Federation (FIBA) players, legends and coaches and to also compete against the best young players in the region. There was also a girls’ camp for the top female players in the state, as well as a junior NBA camp for local youngsters. But last week, hoop heads from Dandenong all the way out to Warragul had their chance to listen to one of the greatest big men in the history of the NBA - David Robinson - and former championship-winning team mate with the San Anto-

Nicknamed ‘The Admiral’ from his service as an officer in the US Navy, Robinson - who measured in at 217 centimetres but gave away plenty of bodyweight to his opponents in the centre position in the NBA - was thrilled to make his first visit to Australian shores. Both he and Bowen (a three-time champion with the Spurs) spoke about their experiences going up against the greatest player of all-time, Michael Jordan, and what it was like to compete at the highest level of the sport. Bowen spoke about his strong Australian ties going back to his time in college at Cal State. “I love the spirit of a lot of basketball players that I’ve come in contact with out here,” he said. “There’s a toughness and a spirit about Australian players that won’t allow you to limit them in what they can do. “If they’re on the floor, they deserve just as much respect as anyone else.”

Add another amazing accolade to Josh Battle’s football resume after the high-marking Dandenong Stingray was named All Australian. After a stellar under-18 nationals campaign for Vic Country, Battle, 17, from Berwick, was put in as full forward of the best-of-the-best side - a proving ground for draft-ready talent at season’s end. Battle’s award was a rare highlight in a disappointing campaign for the boys from the bush, who were unable to get a win across the fourgame tournament against Vic Metro, South Australia, Western Australia and the combined Allies team. But for Battle, getting the call up after a strong showing - booting 11 goals across the four games - was great reward for his efforts. “It’s a pretty surreal feeling I guess ... Leon Harris rang me and gave me the good news, so I was pretty stoked,” Battle said. “We played Allies on Wednesday and unfortunately went down in that game - not winning a game for the carnival was pretty disappointing but being named in the All Australian team is a pretty significant feeling. “I reckon we were pretty unlucky against Metro - obviously leading by five goals at three-quarter-time then to go down by two points probably wasn’t great. “I think to our credit we had a pretty good, consistent carnival but couldn’t get a win on the board.” The Dandenong Stingray has seen the ups and downs of life in the national under-18s spotlight - after featuring in last year’s unbeaten championship winning team to this year’s winless campaign. “Vic Country won the championship last year and there was probably a little bit of pressure on the Vic Country group this year to win it again, but I guess we didn’t really buy into that as much,” Battle said. “I’ve personally taken a lot out of the carnival; I hope it’s not only made me a better footballer, but also a better person so it’s just been
