‘Killer’ dust storm By Cam Lucadou-Wells

It’s a fantasy tree of dreams By Cam Lucadou-Wells For years, the towering cypress tree had been a centrepiece of Fountain Gate Primary School’s playground. Students had frolicked under its mighty canopy immortalised in the school logo. Now in its afterlife, it has been fittingly reimagined as a quirky treehouse of wonder. Perhaps reminiscent of Enid Blyton’s The Magic Faraway Tree. Designed by Tom Coupe, director of Berwick-based Blue Leaf Creations, the structure is finished beautifully with timbers, windows and odd angles. There are many ways to climb into the house - take your pick of a ladder, spiral staircase, rope bridge, fireman’s pole or climbing rope. Principal Jenny Duggan said there was a strong desire to retain the dead pine in some form. She was delighted with the rustic, oldworldly look - the wood intentionally blackened in parts, and standing askew in others. “It looks like a fantasy place,” she said. Students have little hope of ever climbing into the seemingly-occupied crow’s nest platform hovering high in the tree’s fork. They will just have to look up and imagine what lives above.

Few dare to hang their washing outside at Glenora Way and Rowland Close, Hampton Park. For several years, residents have fruitlessly complained to authorities about the dark, dirty film that has stained each of their homes’ cement paths, timber decks, window and door sills. Most worryingly are their eye irritations, coughing, sneezing, hay-fever, severe skin hives and asthma attacks that have reportedly intensified in that time. Residents believe the silt comes from the visibly swirling dust from industrial yards on O’Grady Road, Hallam, just 400 metres north from their homes. The yards, with ever-growing pyramids of soil and mulch, seem to kick up with dust during the frequent movements of trucks and heavy machinery. On days of hot, dry northerly winds, residents say they have to batten themselves inside from the “dust storm”. Despite frequent complaints, residents felt they had been not been heard by Casey council nor the Environmental Protection Authority Victoria. They say each authority has handballed responsibility to the other. “So many people are saying the same thing,” a resident said. “They started ringing in with complaints years ago and just gave up.” According to Casey council, the businesses don’t require a planning permit because they are in an industrial zone. “Therefore they are not in breach of a planning permit,” Casey statutory planning manager Duncan Turner said. According to the Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA), none of the businesses have required a licence from the pollution watchdog for their emissions. Victoria has more stringent standards on coarse particle pollution, known as PM10, than national guidelines - but according to residents, the EPA has not conducted air monitoring in Glenora Way and Rowland Close. The EPA recorded its first complaint about odour in the area in July last year and its first dust complaint three months later. Continued in page 6

Judge warns drug man By Victoria Stone-Meadows The former partner of a woman who was found dead in her home has been released from police custody and placed on a Drug Treatment Order after appearing via video-link at Dandenong Magistrates’ Drug Court on drugs charges. Troy Boothey has been released from the Metropolitan Remand Centre and placed on the order for 12 months after pleading guilty to a number of drug charges on Thursday 8 December. Magistrate Tony Parsons made it very clear to during sentencing that the Drug Treatment Order is not a “silver bullet” and Mr Boothey would have to work hard to keep his freedom. “We will give you every opportunity the community had for recovery but you will have to work very hard.” Boothey has always denied any responsibil-

ity after he became a suspect in the death of his then girlfriend Maddison Murphy-West who was found dead in her Pakenham home in 2013. In court last week the police prosecutor recounted how Boothey had most recently been caught in possession of prescription and illicit drugs in Hampton Park as well as having broken into a warehouse in Dandenong South. In June this year, Boothey was found in Hampton Park in an unregistered vehicle with illegal plates and in possession of ecstasy and Diazepam as well as $455 in cash. In August, Boothey and an accomplice were caught in the yard of a warehouse on National Drive in Dandenong South with a stolen vehicle, break-in equipment and the drug ice. Boothey’s defence lawyer argued that through exposure to a difficult childhood and an acute grief reaction to the death of his former partner,

his client had turned to drugs. She argued that Boothey used the drugs to self-medicate his mental health issues and a court imposed Drug Treatment Order would see him return to being a functioning citizen. As part of the conditions of the order, Boothey will have to comply with a curfew from 9pm to 6am every day and will have to undertake drug screenings several times week. He will also have to report to the magistrate and a court officer weekly as well as other drug treatments within the community. Boothey also had his licence cancelled for six months for driving an unregistered vehicle with incorrect number plates. Magistrate Parsons said this drug treatment order and hard work was a chance for Boothey to turn his life around and come back from a life of crime.

Flood of need marks the festive gift-giving season By Cam Lucadou-Wells From within Casey’s giant 300,000 population is a giant body of needy families - especially at Christmas. Inside a vast room at Casey North Community Information and Support Services (CISS) in Narre Warren, toys and food are fast going out the door. Executive director Susan Magee said more than 300 families asked for help in November, including 70 households for the first time. Many of those will be back again before Christmas, facing a perfect storm of festive, holiday and back-to-school expenses. “We have 300 Christmas hampers all filled with donations from the community. They’re already all spoken for. “But I guarantee there will be more than 300 families in need.” The hampers and toy gifts are a result of generous donations from Rotary and Rotaract service clubs, individuals and schools. In 2015-’16 nearly 2000 households approached CISS for emergency relief - 667 for the first time. Some came more than once, requiring not just funds, but counselling from CISS volunteers. They are crushed by mounting utility bills, debts and steep private rent due to limited rental housing stock, Ms Magee said. Some pay up to 80 per cent of their income on rent. It’s symptomatic of Casey’s high level of welfare dependency, Ms Magee said. There are high levels of family violence and breakdowns, bankruptcies and accumulated debt. About 30,000 Casey residents owed $102 million in unpaid fines, an average of $3500 per debtor. “But some of them owe enough for a house deposit,” Ms Magee explains. “It’s logical that the municipality with the highest population has the highest number of issues. “It needs to be taken into account for planning these services to respond to the enormous levels of disadvantage in Casey.” Casey contributed more than $500,000 to Casey North CISS in 2015-’16. Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon moved a motion at a council meeting to request more state funding.

In Brief Court orders ‘no kids’ Convicted Apex Gang abetter Susan Merrall has been ordered not to have unsupervised children at her home, at a hearing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 5 December. Merrall, 51, of Dandenong North, assured the court she was living at home alone but was handed the additional bail condition after turning up to court more than an hour late. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen told her: “I don’t want to see one child at that address at all.” “It’s been really stressful for me with this media thing,” Merrall told the court. “ACA (A Current Affair) - that’s been very hard for me too. “It’s been very hard for my family as well.” Mr Vandersteen told Merrall that she’d brought the attention on herself. Minutes after the hearing, Merrall stopped and gave a doorstop interview to TV reporters outside the courthouse. The court was told Merrall was facing a possible breach of her 18-month community corrections order. Merrall had been sentenced on the order for reportedly harbouring goods stolen by so-called Apex Gang youth during a spate of home invasions in February. The court heard that she had breached the order by missing appointments with Department of Corrections, and being charged with shoplifting and driving offences. The alleged stolen goods were a black shopping bag, a red box-cutter knife, a network cable, an LED headlamp, laundry powder, three paint brushes, air fresheners, two torches, garbage bags and a universal TV remote. Merrall was also accused with driving while suspended, driving an unregistered car and displaying false number plates in Doveton on 20 September - also while on the community corrections order. Merrall was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 22 December.

Time to come clean

At this time of year, back to school and holiday expenses also loom. Families will be particularly feeling the pinch in the first year since the Federal Government scrapped the School Kids Bonus, Ms Magee said. Ms Magee says CISS has limited funds for people in extreme financial distress such as for school expenses, no-interest loans, street swags.

Casey Council will seek to take control of a VicTrack-owned rail overpass’s walls that have been long blighted by graffiti. Mayor Sam Aziz proposed at a council meeting on 6 December that Casey take at least a 10year lease on the walls on Narre Warren Cranbourne Road. Cr Aziz said he’d “had enough” of VicTrack’s reluctance to clean what was a “gateway” to Narre Warren and Fountain Gate. VicTrack had advised that it would take action only when the tags were offensive or caused a safety hazard, he said. The council will write to VicTrackand Casey officers will explore designs at the site for advertising community announcements and Bunjil Place. Cr Aziz, who assigned a cleaniness portfolio to colleague Wayne Smith, also moved for a crackdown on “shabby” home fencing and illegal hard rubbish dumping.

Everyone has faith in Christmas Christmas is a time of wonder, joy and celebration for those of the Christian faith. Being at the end of another year, it is also a time of reflection on all that has happened in the past year. But here in our richly diverse, multi-faith community, what does the Christmas period mean to those of different faiths? Baha’is believe that the Christmas period upholds the tradition and outward expression of the Divine Station of Jesus Christ. It is an opportunity for society to contemplate and put into practice His message of love. The importance of Christmas to the Christian faith is not to be found in a single day (Christmas Day) but rather in the four weeks of advent leading up to that day. The term advent is derived from the Latin

word adventus which means coming, and in advent we reflect on and look forward to both the coming mystery of Christmas (the incarnation of God in the world through the birth of Jesus Christ) and the second coming of Jesus Christ. As recently as two decades ago, the Hindu population in Australia felt compelled to celebrate Christmas as a way to assimilate into Australian culture.

Many Hindu families join in Christmas festivities in the mood of offering respect to Lord Jesus, a pure and empowered preacher of God consciousness. They also have parties and gift giving so that children do not feel left out of the most celebrated national holiday in Australia. Even in India, which has the largest population of Hindus in the world, Christmas is a national holiday and is celebrated as a festival by many Hindu families. The Christmas period is a time of reflection for Muslims as they ponder over the birth and life of our beloved prophet Jesus (peace and blessings upon him). It is a time of reaching out to Christian friends and neighbours, and covering extra shifts at work. This time can also present challenges for many

Looking Back

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society

100 years ago 14 December 1916 Our boys at the front Sir - it is doubtless well known to yourself, though perhaps not to your readers generally, that when the Dandenong Patriotic League abandoned the regular type-written letter to all the lads from Dandenong who are serving at the front, a number of ladies of Dandenong took upon themselves to carry on this service, landing themselves together under the name of the Ladies Letter League. It may be of interest to you to know that this letter is much appreciated by the Dandenong boys, and every mail brings about six to eight replies, thanking the ladies and hoping that the letter will be continued.

voir may begin in 1973 and be completed by 1976, following a report on the 60,000 million gallon capacity storage area supplied to members of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works. The report states that the reservoir would serve a dual capacity by conserving winter flows from unregulated streams for use during the following summer, and provide a substantial carry over from wet years for use in dry or drought periods. It is also pointed out that the Cardinia Creek location is well-suited to supplement the limited capacity of the Silvan Reservoir and to supply the rapidly growing demands of the growing south and south-eastern suburbs.

forcing the council to increase rates this year. But Greater Dandenong commissioner Mr John Nixon said that while the rate in the dollar had gone up, some people would pay less this year. Residential properties will suffer most from the changes, with 73 per cent of house owners receiving an average increase of $80 in their 1996-’97 bill. More than two thirds (69 per cent) of flat and unit owners will face an average increase of $51. Most commercial properties (66 per cent) will receive an average reduction of $491, while 29 per cent will face an increase of around $404. Most industrial properties (76 per cent) will be slugged an extra $796 on average, while 23 per cent will get a decrease around $780.

Planning Minister Matthew Guy is resisting calls to scrap Greater Dandenong Council’s request to rezone Bangholme green wedge land for development. Greens MP Greg Barber told State Parliament last week the council had failed to adequately consult with affected landholders. The land is bounded by Eumemmerring Creek, Frankston-Dandenong Road, Eastlink, and Harwood Road and has been eyed for industrial use, possibly as an inland port linked by rail to the Port of Hastings. Consultation was a key criteria outlined by Mr Guy when he invited councils to make submissions to a government review of the urban growth boundary. “What we now have is a proposal to excise more than three square kilometres of the City of Greater Dandenong’s urban growth boundary,” Mr Barber said.

families as young children nag their parents about not having Christmas gifts like their friends. Jewish people do not celebrate Christmas as Jews do not believe that Jesus was the son of God or a prophet and so do not celebrate his birth. Jews do not give presents or have a Christmas tree. The Jewish festival of Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated around the same time as Christmas and lasts for eight days. This year, the first day of Chanukah is Christmas Day but this is not usually the case. At this Christmas period, from whatever faith, spiritual tradition or shared values we come from, may there be a renewed sense of hope, joy, peace and love for all in our community and beyond.

Mum’s murder suicide threat By Cam Lucadou-Wells A 23-year-old ice and heroin user threatened to kill herself and her two infants in a public custody fight with her own mother, a court has heard. The pregnant woman pleaded guilty to breaching a corrections order as well as a full intervention order protecting her mother, her children and her siblings. On 6 July, she yelled at her mother in Dandenong Market car park: “If you don’t allow me to have my kids, I will kill them and kill myself.” The accused followed her mother, who drove the children to a relative’s home and repeated the threat. According to a police summary, the victim was “greatly affected by her substance abuse” and was “very capable of carrying out her threat”. The accused’s mother told police she feared the woman would break into her house and take the children at night, or kill them and herself. On 26 October, police found her with a syringe of ice on her person and another in her handbag as she sat in a car outside a 7/11 store in Hallam with two male associates. Also in her bag were 15 ecstasy tablets, an oxy-

codone tablet and a folding knife. The accused had also recently been arrested with a male for both trying to steal shoes by wearing them at Kmart in Fountain Gate shopping centre. A defence lawyer told the court that the pregnant accused was motivated to change her ways, having sobered up in custody during the past month. She was determined to earn the right to get her kids back, the court heard. “Being in prison was a big wake-up call for me,” the accused told the court. “It has to be,” magistrate Jack Vandersteen replied. She was otherwise headed for a life in and out of prison and without her kids, he said. Mr Vandersteen told the accused it was frustrating to see children follow their parents into the court system. “The more stable you are, the more stable they’ll be.” The accused was sentenced to 31 days’ jail - already served in remand - and a 12-month supervised community corrections order with drug and mental health treatment.

Trees with love

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

It’s been a busy 12 months building up Bunjil Place and we’re topping off a big year of construction with works well underway on the iconic winged roof! The structural steel for the building’s top layer is being installed, setting up the framework for the next stage of rooﬁng works in early 2017. In the past month we have also seen the completion of the services rough in and construction of the impressive library staircase. Looking ahead it will continue to be busy onsite until the end of the year. Plasterers will start work in the gallery and library and over in the theatre, framing and installation of the ﬂoor will start to bring this key feature to life. As we prepare for the timber grid shell to arrive onsite early next year, a 50 m long truss is being constructed to provide structural support so this unique piece can be easily installed.

CHRISTMAS trees that also give the gift of education in Timor Leste are being sold at Akoonah Park Market, Berwick. Tree-selling organisers, Friends of Ermera, aim to send every dollar raised for education and training programs in the Ermera district of the island nation, formerly known as East Timor. The trees, ranging from five to seven feet tall, can be pre-reserved and bought at the Akoonah Park Market on 11 December, 8am-1pm, or ordered by email or phone. Details: friends.of.ermera.president@gmail. com or 0418 557 988.

Dust from a Hallam industrial zone hovers near homes in Glenora Way, Hampton Park, on 21 November

From page 1 EPA southern metro acting manager Marleen Mathias said an O’Grady Road business was issued with a Pollution Abatement Notice on 11 August 2015. It was revoked after an EPA inspection on 13 October 2015 found the business had complied with the authority’s requirements. Star News understands the requirements include an odour management plan and a $60,000 onsite water tanker to dampen potential flying particles. Ms Mathias said the EPA was working with the council to confirm the relevant sources of dust from the O’Grady Road industrial area and to resolve the dust issues for residents. One resident, who doesn’t want to be identified, worries about his young family’s severe hayfever like symptoms that have regularly flared since 2014. He’d never had allergies before but now takes

hay-fever medication twice a day and breaks out in hives. His toddler daughter suffers frequent outbreaks of eczema and a running nose. “I’ve been overseas, in bushland and I’ve never had hives before. But when I come home, I get it,” the man said. “It’s killing us,” he says, perhaps metaphorically. A neighbour in his 60s has been similarly afflicted in recent times, again for the first time of his life. He said he is all too frequently cleaning the “mould” from his roof, and the grit inside and outside his air-conditioning unit. Casey councillor Damien Rosario said residents want acknowledgment. “Some say it’s gone on for years, some say it goes back decades.” “It’s time the EPA stepped up as the higher authority and took responsibility.”

‘Just be there’ “Be there for each other. Right or wrong, work things out,” says Hallam woman Doris Agius when asked the secret to a successful marriage. Her advice is worth listening to. She and husband Charlie are celebrating 50 years since they tied the knot at St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Springvale, on Saturday 17 December 1966. Charlie said the secret to a successful marriage was “just being good together”. “We’ve just got along good together, always,” he said to their daughter Carrolyn Jenyns. “Mum was the sort of person where if I mentioned wanting spaghetti, you could bet that mum would serve it for dinner the next day, or if I wanted chops then she would make sure we would have it ... she’s always been that way.” Doris and Charlie met at Sutex in Huntingdale. Doris was 17 and made material on the warping machine. Charlie was 19 and worked as a beamer. “Mum and dad did not get together until after dad left Sutex and dad remained friends with mum’s brother,” Carrolyn explained. “Their first date was on Melbourne Cup Day where they went to Healesville, chaperoned. “There were times when mum and dad each took the day off work so that they could see each other unchaperoned and on these days went to Mornington and Healesville. “Mum said that she would always go home and tell her mother that she had spent the day with Charlie.” They became engaged when aged 18 and 20, and married at 19 and 21. They moved into a bungalow at James Street, Dandenong, at the back of Charlie’s parents’ property. The home had a two-burner camping stove and an electric frypan, but they renovated the place and made it theirs. The newlyweds lived in the bungalow for four and a half years, and welcomed their first child, Mary, during that time. Doris and Charlie bought land in Hallam, saved money to build a house and moved in on 9 September 1971 - while Doris was in hospital

It’s none of our business but… There’ll soon be a new service station at Heatherton Road and James Street, Dandenong. Greater Dandenong councillors approved the application for 1464-1468 Heatherton Road at their Monday 28 November meeting. A new Dandenong Civic Centre lease will allow the council to have its cake and eat it, too. The deal for 514 square metres on level five, 225 Lonsdale Street, with RMBL Investments Limited includes three basement car parking spaces, which sparked fierce debate at the 12 September council meeting. But some of the council-allocated spaces in the sought-after car park will now be shifted to a new parking area at nearby 144 Thomas Street, so there’ll be no net loss of spaces available to the public. Harmony Square will host a family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebration complete with fireworks, food and performances. The event is now in its third year and will run from 6pm to 9.30pm on Saturday, 31 December. There’ll be live music, fireworks at 9.25pm, a drumming workshop, face painting and an animal farm. Only amusement rides will incur a cost, and free parking will be available at the multi-deck car parks in Walker and Thomas streets.

A woman has failed in her bid for a personal safety order against a Victoria Police officer who evicted her from her home under a Sheriff’s warrant. The woman argued at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that she had never seen the warrant and was now unable to get in her home due to police changing the locks without her permission. In seeking to institute proceedings against the arresting officer, she accused him of acting out a “home invasion”. The magistrate noted a trust - of which the woman was a beneficiary - was the home’s true owner. “In my view your application is vexatious, without substance, made in bad faith, without reasonable prospects of success and, on the face of it, an abuse of process.”

Migrants and refugees improved their jobseeking skills in Dandenong thanks to mentors from global corporate consulting firm Deloitte. Settlement agency AMES Australia hosted the 18 November session, dubbed Impact Day. The students received insights into networking, job interviews, teamwork, personal presentation and job applications.

More cops, tougher laws By Victoria Stone-Meadows More police recruits and tougher laws have been announced by the State Government to target youth crime, despite crime committed by offenders less than 18 years of age declining in frequency. On Monday 5 December, Premier Daniel Andrews announced a number of new criminal justice directions to curb youth offending, which is considered particularly high in the south-east area. These new laws and penalties include an increase to the maximum period of detention that can be imposed by the Children’s Court, a new offence for adults who lure young people to commit crimes for them, a new Youth Control Order (YCO) to give the Children’s Court the power to issue a more intensive and targeted supervision sentence for young offenders, and many more. The announcement of the new youth crime targeting systems comes on the back of the government plans to recruit 2729 new police cadets over the next four years. At the announcement on 4 December Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton specifically noted that police numbers had been stretched in the south east suburbs due to youth crime. “Young people feel shut out of society, they are feeling frustrated and getting into crime and

forming the groups and gangs out there committing crimes,” he said. “Young people are feeling disconnected and we need to work in that issue by providing accountable law enforcement, and work on prevention and turn these young people around.” “Victoria Police has to focus on that and this announcement allows us to maintain a commitment to that.” Police Minister Lisa Neville specifically flagged growth corridors in the state as areas needing more police and youth workers to tackle youth crime. The government has also announced $10 million worth of Youth Crime Prevention grants to specifically target and prevent youth offending. “We will be funding 42 police youth recourse works across the state to work with youth at both ends; working with youth offenders and working on prevention,” she said. “Youth offending overall is down but we have this group offending at extraordinary rates and committing crimes and none of the traditional interventions have worked.” “We are and have been talking to police and other youth workers about what we need to do to turn this around because they are causing too much harm, it is unacceptable and will not con-

tinue.” However, while youth offending has remained steady across the state in the period from July 2015 to June 2016 with a one per cent increase in the number of offenders aged 10 to 17, in Casey, that statistic has fallen. According to the Crime Statistics Agency of Victoria, total crime incidents committed by people aged 10 to 17 years in the City of Casey have dropped. In the period from July 2015 to June 2016, the incidents of youth crime in Casey has fallen 15.5 percent across all but one crime categories compared to the same period in 2014 to 2015. The only crime category where youth offending has increased in Casey is Justice Procedures offences such as breaches of court orders. At a council meeting on Tuesday 6 December, Casey Mayor Sam Aziz proposed the council contact the Victoria Police Command to request an allocation of new officers to the area. Mayor Sam Aziz said he was happy that the State Government had “finally come to the party“ after the council had lobbied under a five-plank community safety plan - including extra police. The next wave of frontline police officers is expected to hit the streets of Casey in April next year.

Premier turns new page for avid readers at school KILBERRY Valley Primary School’s most avid readers have been personally congratulated by Premier Daniel Andrews and wife Catherine. During a visit to the school, Mr Andrews praised students for completing the Premiers’ Reading Challenge, including 145 who received special awards and books for reading more than 100 tomes this year. The VIP guests were also interviewed by young presenters on the school’s TV show Kilberry Live.

Soccer stars share their mad skills By Cam Lucadou-Wells SOME of Brazil’s finest soccer players shared their immense skills and exuberance in a sports clinic at Maranatha Christian School, Doveton. As part of the Tour of Hope, former World Cup members such as Mineiro, Elivelton, Paulo Sergio, Fabio, Felipe, Lamartine and Robert told students what it was like to be idolised as national heroes. The players performed soccer tricks, posed for photos and autographs, much to the awe of staff and students, Maranatha principal William Jackson said. “It was definitely a day for all to remember and there were many high fives and laughs among staff, students and players.” 8 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 12 December, 2016

The challenge is designed to promote a love of reading over a broad array of books. Mr Andrews said across the state, more than 200,000 students took part in this year’s event. “Developing a love for reading helps give kids the best start in life so they can reach their full potential.“ Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley, who also accompanied the Premier, praised the Kilberry Valley students’ hard work.

“They have (been) reading so much more than the rest of us and it will no doubt prepare them for bigger and better things next year.” Kilberry Valley principal Neil Cunningham said the Premier’s visit would be remembered as a “special day” for students, staff and parents. “From a principal’s point of view, I am always keen to see our students setting high targets for themselves and witnessing a sense of great pride and joy as these are achieved.”

State licked on lollipop costs By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council will lobby for the State Government to pay its “fair” share of the municipality’s $2.7 million annual bill for school crossing supervisors. Set to pay more than $2.1 million of the cost, Casey will seek a 50:50 split between the government and the council. The State Government and local councils originally paid 50:50 when the school crossing program was pitched in 1975, according to a council report on 6 December. Cost-shifting of supervisors’ higher salaries, Working With Children checks, HR overheads had since been bourne by councils, the report stated. A 2015 Municipal Association of Victoria report states the original balance was 66:33 - with the Victorian Government as the chief contributor. It stated there needed to be a “fairer deal” for councils - which on average were picking up 80 per cent of the tab. Councillor Geoff Ablett said the State Government should pick up the whole tab given education was a “State portfolio”. Community safety manager Caroline Bell told the meeting that the council would embark on a “significant advocacy campaign” of six to 12 months to VicRoads and the government. Chief executive Mike Tyler said several councils were seeking similar redress. On 6 December, the council announced an additional supervised crossing for 2017 at Skyline Way, Berwick, to make a total of 163 in the municipality. Two sites will be removed on Matthew Flinders Avenue and Amalfi Drive, Endeavour Hills, due to a lack of pedestrian use, the council stated. Casey will review proposed sites at Bowyer Avenue, Cranbourne East; Merrowland Avenue, Cranbourne North; Aylmer Road, Lynbrook; and Heather Grove, Cranbourne East.

Grants to curb youth criminals Nearly $1 million of a state community safety and crime prevention grants program will be targeted in Casey. The State Government announced $700,000 in Youth Crime Prevention Grants over two years, as well as $250,000 to improve safety in Narre Warren Village. The youth crime prevention program will be devised with the help of a workshop with community leaders, Narre Warren South MP Judith Couacaud Graley said. Victoria Police and Casey Council are among the invitees to help devise local, evidence-based programs to break the spate of home invasions and serious crime by young offenders. The grant was targeted in eight “priority” municipalities, including Greater Dandenong and Casey. It comes on top of a concerted series of law-and-order announcements from the State Government in recent days, including 2729 extra police in the next four years. The Public Safety Infrastructure Fund grant in Narre Warren Village will help provide improved pathways, open spaces, lighting, seats and toilets. Ms Graley said she’d advocated in recent years for the grant. “It’s an area that has great possibilities and has not been getting the attention it deserves,” she said. In Parliament on 6 December, Ms Graley said: “The City of Casey has finally woken up to the fact that there is poor design, poor lighting and the placement of a public toilet block that allows and enables criminal and anti-social activities, particularly vandalism and graffiti, to occur. “Many local businesses are now concerned that local residents are deterred from visiting the area due to their concerns about their safety.” A Casey Council spokesman said: “This is welcome investment which will kick start a much-needed revitalisation infrastructure in the Webb Street, Narre Warren precinct.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Innovation reaps cash reward By Casey Neill Five very different Greater Dandenong businesses have been applauded and rewarded for their innovation. Mayor Jim Memeti presented certificates to the recipients of the latest round of Greater Dandenong Business Grants at Dandenong Civic Centre on Tuesday 6 December. Each will receive up to $8000 plus business mentoring and marketing valued at about $2000. SPEE3D is located in Dandenong South and builds 3D printers for production lines. Fortis Adhesives and Coatings in Dandenong South manufactures industrial adhesives and floor coatings while MISCO, also in Dandenong South, fabricates and distributes electrical insulation and switchboard componentry. Not-for-profit, community-based organisation Melba Support Services, in Dandenong, supports people with complex disabilities. In Dandenong South, Freeze Dry Australia is manufacturing freeze-dried treats and meals for pets. Cr Memeti said the grants were designed to promote and strengthen the Greater Dandenong business community, attract investment and stimulate business and employment growth. “We are very fortunate to have such a vibrant and entrepreneurial business community,” he said. “It gives great strength to our city.” He said the council had distributed 12 grants since the program started in 2014. Cr Memeti presented the first grant, which went to Thomas Street, Dandenong, business Young Uncles. “How time flies,” he said, recalling how nervous owners Bert Glinka and Brendan D’Amelio were at the time. They returned for this year’s presentation and shared their story.

“I’m also a small business owner, and I actually supply your business,” Cr Memeti told them. Mr Glinka said they used their grant to buy a high-quality coffee machine to meet their strategy of selling great coffee. “As a small business owner, it’s great to get a bucket of money,” he said. “We were financially stretched at that time. “I think we fluked it, and we got it right.” The cafe has gone from strength to strength, as has the duo’s smallgoods business that inspired the eatery.

Mr Glinka said they’d just bought a factory in Dandenong to expand their manufacturing arm. “We couldn’t have considered any other spot,” he said. “The support I’ve been getting is second to none.” He said receiving the grant showed the council had confidence in the business. “That confidence has fuelled us to keep going,” he said. “It’s about keeping your head above water, a lot of the time.

“It’s good to know you have that support behind you.” Mr Glinka encouraged the newest recipients to take up opportunities the council would offer, like small business courses and alerts to opportunities. “It can really challenge what you do day to day and change your course for the better,” he said. The Journal will profile each of the successful recipients in the new year.

Go looking for change or it will come looking for you By Casey Neill SEBN is urging Greater Dandenong’s business community to “be the change” next year. Manager Sandra George announced the 2017 theme for the network at the SEBN Christmas industry breakfast at Bunurong Memorial Park in Dandenong South on Thursday 8 December. She said businesses needed to be on the front foot instead of reacting to change or waiting for it. Robert Bosch Australia president and chairman Gavin Smith also spoke about the need for businesses to be proactive. He joined Bosch in 1990, was appointed president in 2011 and was recently added to the Prime Minister’s taskforce on Industry 4.0 and made chair of the Internet of Things Alliance. Mr Smith told the breakfast that business disruption had never been more of a challenge than it was now. He said that through the Internet of Things - everyday objects having network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data - more than 50 billion things would be connected to the internet by 2022. “That creates a world of opportunities but it also creates a world of pain if you don’t understand it,” Mr Smith said. He said businesses needed to connect their factories to the internet to be competitive, and said they would be excluded if they didn’t. “People are in control of this fourth industrial review,” he said. “You are not alone. We are all in the same situation. “We can’t just sit and wait and hope it will get better. “It won’t.” Mr Smith has helped automotive supplier Bosch to overcome disruptive changes to the sector. “Our manufacturing footprint will never be what it was,” he said. “But that’s a good thing.” He said Bosch was now focused on manufacturing items that couldn’t be made elsewhere. “Our business has changed. It had to change,” he said. “If you put smart people to work and employ

Mr Berenyi said prospective customers often didn’t tell companies what they wanted because they didn’t want to, they didn’t know how to, or they didn’t know what they wanted. He said it wasn’t about what something was made from or cost. “It’s what it delivers from an emotional perspective,” he said. “McDonald’s is all about socialising, it’s not about hamburgers.”

In his annual update, Greater Dandenong CEO John Bennie said this year’s introduction of rate-capping had left the council with less revenue to do what it needed to do. “It causes us to be more innovative and look at new and different ways of doing things,” he said. He said VicRoads had indicated that the Dandenong Bypass segment to be built between South Gippsland Highway and the Monash Freeway was the region’s next and highest priority. Mr Bennie said he expected work to start in the next 12 to 18 months. He urged businesses to “rise up and support us in our own advocacy”. “The noise of business is very loud, very strong and very important,” he said. “We need to speak up.”

Mirabel golf is in the swing Greater Dandenong businesses will support the Mirabel Foundation through the annual Take a Swing for Charity. The SEBN golf day will take place at the Sandhurst Club in Skye on Monday 21 February, manager Sandra George announced at the business group’s Christmas industry breakfast at Bunurong in Dandenong South on Thursday 8 December. The event has raised more than $300,000 for charities during its history. Mirabel’s Miranda Purchase was thrilled that the foundation was named as the next recipient. It helps more than 1600 children across Victoria and New South Wales who’ve been abandoned due to their parents’ illicit drug use. Ms Purchase told the breakfast that she started with Mirabel as a youth worker 10 years ago. She recalled collecting four children from their grandparents in Greater Dandenong for a respite weekend in Mt Martha. A five-year-old boy started screaming hysterically as she drove but he was nonverbal, so she had no idea what was wrong. His siblings eventually explained that she’d driven past a street he used to live in with his mum and he feared she was returning him. He’d been found locked in a laundry there with another sibling and had been abused. Ms Purchase said four new families were referred to Mirabel each week and received education, respite and more. “We try to break the damaging cycle of drug addiction,” she said. She said a recent social return on investment report found that every $1 invested in Mirabel returned $6.60 to the community. “These kids live in your area,” she said.

An honour for service A leader in establishing services for Dandenong’s Aboriginal community has been added to the Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll. Barbara Walker, who died in 2012, was among 10 inductees at a ceremony in Melbourne on Wednesday 30 November. The Honour Roll celebrates the wide ranging achievements of Aboriginal people, past and present, has been running for six years and is on permanent display in the Victorian Parliament. Mrs Walker’s involvement with welfare and education services, including promoting early childhood education, contributed significantly to the lives of those in her community. The Wemba Wemba Elder was born in 1927 in Barham, New South Wales. She was one of 10 children, finished her education at Grade 3 and at 13 started work as a domestic hand on a sheep station. She married Kevin Walker at age 18, started married life in Echuca, but soon moved to a home at Moonahcullah. They had five boys and five girls. Mrs Walker gave birth to most on the Deniliquin maternity hospital verandah due to a segregation policy. The family moved to Doveton in 1961, when Moonahcullah closed, seeking greater opportunities for work and education. Mr Walker soon secured a position with the Gas and Fuel Corporation in Dandenong, but Mrs Walker found the adjustment to urban life difficult. She recalled that she would sit in her house looking out at the nearby hills and “yearn to be back in a place where I could go for walks and get mushrooms”. In the early 1970s, in Dandenong the Walkers and other Aboriginal families held meetings in their home, including the Terrick, Harrison, Blow and Charles families. They were concerned that the growing Koori community needed better support and access to services in their area. They formed the Dandenong and District Aborigines Association with the Victorian Ministry for Aboriginal Affairs. In 1975 the organisation was incorporated and

Barbara Walker. became the Dandenong and District Aborigines Co-operative Society Limited (DDACSL). The group received government funding to help develop programs that would address unemployment and life skills in the Koori community in Dandenong, Doveton, Hallam, Noble Park, a developing Endeavour Hills, and as far afield as Healesville. Mrs Walker was the first voluntary secretary of the co-operative and regularly hosted committee meetings in her home. DDACSL formed a close association was with the Gunai Lodge hostel, later renamed the Roy Harrison hostel. The hostel was established to meet the needs of young Aboriginal men coming to Dandenong from Gippsland for apprenticeships, job training and educational purposes. From the mid-1970s the Walkers were members of the hostel’s Special Purpose Committee Mr Walker as president and Mrs Walker as executive secretary.

In the early 1970s, the Victorian Ministry for Aboriginal Affairs employed Mrs Walker as a field officer - the first woman in the state to take on the role. She dealt with finance and housing and worked alongside Wayne Atkinson and Alick Jackomos in Melbourne’s south-west to improve the lives of Aboriginal families through access to services. From 1973 until the late 1980s when she retired, Mrs Walker worked for the Doveton Uniting Church as a kindergarten assistant. She encouraged Aboriginal children in the Doveton area to attend the kindergarten and worked to promote the importance of early childhood education. Mrs Walker was a mother to 10 children, 35 grandchildren, 69 great-grandchildren, seven great-great-grandchildren (and counting) and was described as a warm and generous person. She spent her retirement years back near Moonahcullah at Elimdale in New South Wales.

A man described as having a “persecutory view of the world” has been jailed after nearly stabbing a younger man to death during a Dandenong alleyway fight on a summer afternoon. During sentencing in the Victorian County Court, Heath Lugg, 47, called out that “none of that’s fair, that’s not correct”. Judge Frank Gucciardo admonished him, saying: “You’ll sit there quietly and listen to the sentence please.” Lugg faced a single charge of recklessly causing injury, with prosecutors accepting he acted in “excessive self-defence”. About 2pm on 26 February 2015, Lugg claimed he confronted the victim in Cadds Lane for allegedly stealing his phone, cigarettes and other items. The incident became physical with Lugg alleging he was assaulted. He told police he drew a knife from his back pocket and “let him have it”. According to Lugg, he’d been assaulted many times before, and that he was “just not going to take it anymore”. “I’ve got to try and confront the guy and get my stuff back.” The victim ran down the lane about 50 metres before collapsing. He was resuscitated from full cardiac arrest with CPR by paramedics at the scene. At The Alfred hospital, he had emergency surgery for a stab wound to the lung and the sac around his heart, as well as for cardiac bleeding and blood clotting. The knife, which had a blade of at least nine centimetres and a handle of 11, was usually used to cut fruit, Lugg said. Lugg may have acted in “excessive selfdefence” but it didn’t “diminish the gravity” of bringing a knife into the dispute, Judge Gucciardo said on 1 December.

The Christmas spirit is alive and well at Barry Plant Keysborough thanks to some of Santa’s helpers. Agency director Chee-Ky Dunlop and the team have created their own Christmas display to spread a little joy this season. It is the first time the group has decorated the area - usually the firm’s conference room. However it has a new resident just for the Christmas season and the gang at Barry Plant couldn’t be happier. Chee-Ky said the idea was inspired by the Myer’s Christmas windows that people all flocked into town to see when they were kids. “This is the Barry Plant Christmas window,” he joked. “It’s a spin-off, getting us into the spirit of things. “It is a joyful time and we thought why not have a bit of fun with it.

“This is a time of love and joy in the community and if our window brings a smile to the face of a small child as they are going to get their fish and chips or pizza next door then that is great.” This year’s display sees Santa and Rudolf and some of his friends take up residence in the window but the Barry Plant Keysborough staff hope to add to this in the future. Chee-Ky said the whole staff were involved in putting together the window although he said much of the credit for getting it looking so good goes to Megan, the heavily pregnant wife of sales consultant Jeremy for coming in to help organise the display. The decorations were unveiled on 1 December and will stay through the Christmas season. To check them out visit Barry Plant Keysborough Shop 1, 320 Cheltenham Road, Keysborough.

And Milli Terrace development puts buyers of all lifestyles and budgets close to the action - but with well-established fruit orchards and wide green spaces bordering tree-lined streets the feel is still relaxed and friendly. Priced from $382,085 the Milli Terrace houses offer three-bedroom floorplans featuring either double or single garages. Catering to both families and those

looking to down-size and move closer to city amenities the development is close to a large range of education options in Officer, Berwick and Pakenham while empty nesters can take a quiet afternoon stroll around the Officer Recreation Reserve or visit nearby Pakenham for a variety of shopping, dining and entertainment options. Those who work in the city can spend their days in bustling Melbourne CBD before retreating home to their Milli Terrace sanctuary for dinner. A number of transport links puts the area close to everywhere. Drive in via the M1 to reach the heart of the city in 45 minutes, or leave the car at home and take the Pakenham line from Officer Station. For more information contact sales agent Arvind Mahajan on 0421 691 765 or phone 9800 000. The sales suite is at 72 Brunt Road, Officer, and open Saturday to Wednesday, noon to 5pm.

NEW HOMES & LAND

INNOVATIVE KEYSBOROUGH DEVELOPMENT WINS TWO AWARDS INTRAPAC Property and Brencorp Properties are proud to announce their integrated residential development Somerfield in Keysborough has been awarded two Urban Development Institute of Australia Excellence Awards - Best Residential Development and Environmental Excellence. “We’re thrilled to be recognised by the UDIA for our environmental initiatives at Somerfield, which planned a decade ago to blaze the trail for sustainability features that are only now becoming industry standards,” said Intrapac Property chief operating officer Maxwell Shifman. It’s not the first time the development’s innovative environmental approach has been rewarded. Somerfield’s outstanding environmental record was also recognised when it became the first UDIA EnviroDevelopment accredited under the national scheme in 2011 in the elements of ecology, water and community. “Even though Somerfield presents much like a greenfield development, the engineering issues and numerous planning issues experienced were much closer to those typically associated with brownfield projects,” Shifman said. “To be recognised by the UDIA at the end of all the hard work is extremely rewarding.” The history of market gardening and uses such as dog kennels and chicken farms, meant the land at Somerfield was significantly encumbered and ecologically degraded. Intrapac developed a plan to overcome the various restrictive uses and free up the land for residential development and rehabilitate the natural ecology of the area in the process. Interspersed between the beautifully

designed homes is 16.7 per cent of the site area devoted to open space, including award-winning landscaping that incorporate a range of uses such as local parks and playgrounds, wetlands and expansive natural parklands, with every home within 400 metres of open space. The landscaping also includes a Reflections garden designed by Chelsea Flower Show winning garden designer Wes Fleming and a pirate-themed playground with public art and basketball courts, as well as barbecue facilities. Footpaths and cycling tracks link the development in all directions, with connections to the established suburbs to the north, as well as the local commercial and community precinct. “Environmental excellence is important in all our developments and we’re also celebrating being the developer with the most UDIA Enviro Certifications ever achieved in a six-month period,” Shifman said. “We are constantly pushing to remain at the forefront of what’s possible in terms of sustainability.” The Somerfield development was an early adopter of cutting edge features such as recycled water before it became mandatory, water sensitive urban design, quality design guidelines and high-speed fibre to the home broadband internet access before the existence of NBN. Another key innovation was in the wetland entry at Perry Road. The area required to retain the volumes of water involved would have considerably reduced the developable area in the south-eastern precinct if it constructed using conventional design.

TOWNHOUSES SELLING NOW

FRANK BOSCO FROM BOSCO JONSON WITH INTRAPAC CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER MAXWELL SHIFMAN AFTER RECEIVING THE AWARD. “Our solution was to construct a hybrid basin system, partly natural, wetland style, and partially a deep, structural basin, using stone walls as hard edging,” Shifman said. “This created an absolutely stunning entry feature and also helped increase the net developable area for residential lots.” Overall, Somerfield serves as an ideal model of appropriate urban renewal, having taken severely ecologically degraded and environmentally impacted infill land and turning it into a state-ofthe-art, beautiful and highly sought-after land estate. Its popularity extends to a variety of ethnic communities as well as demographics, partly due to the different

UNIT 13

lot sizes available and a new townhouse offering. It’s close to the CBD, the beaches, great schooling and amenities and as a gateway to the Mornington Peninsula. Now in its 21st year, the Urban Development Institute’s Awards for Excellence in Victoria are a chance for the industry to showcase its best projects in a celebration of contemporary knowledge, skills and innovation in the urban development industry, recognising the outstanding achievements of high quality developments. The award was presented to Intrapac Property at a gala awards lunch held on Friday 2 December 2016 at the Crown Palladium Ballroom.

SPORT Dandenong - The season so far By Nicholas Creely The Panther is pouncing once more with the Dandenong Cricket Club nearing the Christmas break as heavy favourites for this year’s Premier Cricket premiership. After missing out on finals for three straight years, and enduring some tough and testing soul searching moments, the light is well and truly at the end of the tunnel. Entering the season, newly appointed coach Nick Speak said that the club had a “really young list” that the players “weren’t far off ” and that they can “challenge top six at worst, and club championship top four”. Despite the snickering of others who believed Dandenong was destined for another “nothing” season, Speak and his hungry Panthers have defied the odds and played a stunning first half of the season. No player has really dominated on an individual sense - it’s been a team collective effort that has pushed them to greater heights. But one innings definitely at least warrants a mention. In Round 3 skipper Tom Donnell blasted one of the more astonishing innings ever seen at that level. His unbeaten 114 against Melbourne University in just 62 balls was one of those moments that has sparked the Panthers to continually brutalize their opposition. Then there is the prodigiously talented James Pattinson who, only just two weeks ago, blasted 137 in a Twenty20. Let that sink in. But despite these astonishing individual performances, other members have risen to the level. It can be argued that no other player in the competition this season has improved so dramatically like James Nanopoulos. The all-rounder is having a special first half of the season, knocking out 219 runs with the bat at an average of 43.80. But with the ball, Nanopoulos has already taken 17 wickets at 20.06.

James Nanopoulos has been one of the stars for the Panthers so far this season. 160414_06 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Lincoln Edwards has had a strong start at his To put these statistics into perspective, Nanopoulos had 189 runs at an average of 17.2, new club, including two match-winning halfand 12 wickets at 28.9 at the same stage last sea- centuries, Adam McMaster continues to improve and get quicker with the ball and, despite son.

Sharp end of the season sees Bloods talent flow By Nicholas Creely It’s an exciting time to be at Springvale South with an exciting crop of talent set to take the Bloods to the pointy end of the season. It’s been a tricky first half of the season for the Bloods who, despite not being at their absolute best, still find a way to win. And club skipper and DDCA legend Craig Slocombe believes that the hard work is ahead of the group, is uncertain where they are placed in the bigger picture, but believes there is significant talent. “I always try and pull the top seven or eight and think we may have four of them covered for instance, and if we win those four and win another three from the rest we should play finals,” he said. “It’s hard to know at this stage and we are nowhere near knowing how we are travelling because we have some very hard games after the break which is going to test us, no doubt. “There’s a lot of guys that are a little overdue to start showing their talent and Nathan King got his first 100 this year out at Dingley a couple of games ago - let’s hope he can keep it going - he is a very talented man,” he said. “But also Dylan Quirk is in some serious form with the bat in my opinion, and the way he is batting and his attitude to it all is excellent - he is in for a massive second half of the year, I think.” But arguably the biggest bolter has been the tear-away quick from Sri Lanka Rajith Priyan who is starting to become a force to be reckoned with in the Turf 1 ranks. “This is Rajith’s first year at the club - he made his own way over here from Sri Lanka, I knew virtually nothing about him before he got there - he is just a hardworking, honest swing bowler and, as we saw in the second innings last week, he can certainly hold a bat as well.” 32 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 12 December, 2016

not getting much opportunity with the bat so far, Jacques Augustin is relishing his opportunity with the gloves since crossing over from Fitzroy-Doncaster. And players like Callum Parkinson, who adds a vital professional component, gun batsman Brett Forsyth and young gun Edward Newman round out such a balanced squad. But perhaps the biggest story is the comeback of Australian quick James Pattinson, who has flourished in his return from serious injury setbacks. In his 10 games this season, ‘Patto’ has made 371 runs at 53.00 and with the ball, which he is apparently stronger in, he has taken 6 wickets after only resuming bowling a month ago. In what has been a fairly comprehensive first half of the season, the Panthers have only lost two games, and, at this stage, have won eight and sit atop the ladder. Their grittiest win was arguably in Round 7 when they played Kingston Hawthorn at Walt Galt Reserve. The week prior, the Panthers were stunned when they came to the ground to find the pitch under water, despite the weather being perfect and the sun blazing. They came back the very next week, with just one day to go, and chased down 197 in just 38.1 overs, after the Hawks threatened to bat out the last day. It won’t get easier for the Panthers, who will eventually return back to cricket after the new year with expectation they can take it all the way in 2016/17. There is plenty more cricket left to play and the old adage that ‘cricket is a funny game’ and anything can happen certainly applied, but the Panthers are well and truly placed for a tilt at a premiership, and with it, the respect of the competition.

Under 21s third shield By Nicholas Creely

The DDCA Under 21s remain undefeated, winning its third Neil Weight Shield match against Box Hill Reporter DCA at Rowley Allen Reserve in Keysborough on Sunday 4 December. In what has been a highly successful campaign for the representative heavyweights, the DDCA is set for another finals series. The DDCA elected to bat, with a series of starts by Liam Hamilton (38) from Springvale South, Darcy Hellriegel (36) from Buckley Ridges, Rob Peat (28) from St Mary’s, Jakob Woinarski (25) from Mordialloc and skipper Jordan Hammond (25) from Hallam-Kalora Park lifting them to 8/178 off their 40 overs - another solid score considering their slow start. But the Box Hill DCA is a notoriously strong batting side having been inside the top four in runs scored this tournament so a solid bowling effort was truly required. With the ball, the DDCA were well served by Josh Dowling from Narre North, who bowled a fine spell to finish with 4/13. The Box Hill DCA finished on 7/172, seven runs short of victory in a thrilling match. Dowling has been highly impressive in the carnival round-robin, leading the wicket tally with seven majors for the DDCA. In a side coached by legendary cricketer Craig Slocombe, the DDCA are well placed for yet another Neil Wright Shield next to its name. The DDCA Under 21s have finished second on the ladder and are expected to tackle Ringwood DCA in the semi-final on 15 January, but the date, venue and opposition is yet to be formally announced.

Harvey’s in the running By Nicholas Creely Representing Victoria in a national competition is a wonderful achievement - especially if just 10 years of age. Young Oatlands Primary School student Harvey Anderson was one of only a few Victorian athletes to head to Sydney from 25-29 November. The competition, which was headed by School Sport Australia, has been a major breeding ground for budding Olympic teams in Australia, and this year’s crop is set to follow the same path. And at the championships, Harvey rose to the occasion in the 800 metres, against some of the nation’s most promising young runners and said having support from some important people in his life helped him perform at his best. “I came sixth in my heat - and twelfth overall in Australia,” he said. “My sports teacher Ms Gamble has been awesome for me, as well as my parents and grandparents.

“Ms Gamble actually flew up to Sydney to watch me run - it was very nerve-racking; I was under a lot of pressure, but that helped me having her there watching me.” Harvey said that his parents, especially his dad, helped push him into athletics, and from there he gained the appetite to work hard. “I’ve been into athletics since last year - Dad used to be a very good runner so he got me into it,” he said. “I did five weeks of training before going and then I had states before that which was really hard - I train for an hour three times a week, but I love to do it.” And now Harvey is aiming high, with another potential national competition on his mind. “Next year is the Pacific Games against Kenya so I’m aiming for that - they are great long-distance runners, and it will be a tough challenge, but I just have to keep working hard,” he said.

Good try but Paralympic rugby player missed out By Nicholas Creely Dandenong athlete and Paralympic champion Jayden Warn has narrowly missed out on claiming an award, with the Australian Paralympic Awards held on Thursday 8 December in Sydney. The 22-year-old had been named as a finalist alongside the Australian Wheelchair rugby team for the award Team of the Year - with the sailing team claiming the prestigious award. But regardless of the awards, Warn has been integral in Paralympic sport in the country, helping the Steelers to victory at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games after they defeated Great Britain, Brazil, Canada and Japan to play their rivals, the United States in the gold medal match. In this particular game, no side gained ascendency throughout, and eventually the fourth period buzzer sounded with both teams tied on 49 points. But the Aussie spirit prevailed, ultimately edging out the US 59-58 in a double-overtime thriller and, as a result, became the first team in history to win consecutive Paralympic gold medals and a world championship in the space of just four years. Warn was particular influential throughout in what was a highly impressive campaign from him. Chef de Mission of the 2016 Australian Paralympic Team Kate McLoughlin said that Warn, along with his other teammates, should be proud of their achievements throughout 2016. “Wheelchair rugby is one of the most exciting sports to watch at the Paralympic Games, and to see Australia win after such a suspenseful match was one of the highlights of the entire Games. “The Steelers did an amazing job defeating their rivals and the fact that they were able to defend their Paralympic title from London makes the victory so much sweeter.” In some other major awards for the night, Dylan Alcott backed up his Rio gold-medal double by claiming two awards at the ceremony. Alcott was crowned as the Australian Paralym-

DDCA Twenty20 Review Wednesday 30 November saw another action packed night of Twenty20 action in the Dandenong District Cricket Association. In what was the fourth round of the association’s entertaining round robin, Hallam-Kalora Park stole the show making a whopping 2/213 in its clash with Silverton. The Hawks, on the back of Jordan Hammond (85) and Leigh Booth (82 not out), were too strong in the end as Silverton ended on 7/157 at the end of their innings. Beaconsfield continues to be a surprise packet, bowling brilliantly against Narre South before chasing down its lowly 90 in just 13.5 overs. Berwick has just edged out North Dandenong with marquee Maroon Chris Thewlis (76 off 34 balls) stealing the show with half a dozen sixes. The Bears posted 4/159, with Ryan Williamson (52) and UK marquee Callum Parkinson (52 off 29 balls) putting on an 80run partnership, before the Maroons were left just ten runs short, with Ryan Crawford (4/18) bowling the Bears home. Narre North went down in a low-scoring affair to Parkfield, as the North almost defended its low total of 82. But the Bears were just good enough, passing the total at 7/83 off 19 overs, with Josh Dowling bowling two maidens for North. Dandenong West has got the chocolates, defending 121 against Mordialloc. Bulls all-rounder Andrew Harry (50) was in fine touch, and with the ball, marquee player Jackson Fry (2/17) and Peter Atkinson (2/13) were instrumental, as the Bloodhounds were kept to just 7/100. Dingley has knocked over reigning champions Springvale South in an entertaining and high-scoring affair. The Dingoes batted, as marquee Rob Quiney (32) and Matthew Hague (91) batted brilliantly, helping them post 3/163 off their 20 overs. Despite a solid half-century to Dylan Quirk (64 not out), the Bloods fell short by 10 runs, with Brett Forsyth (31) also making runs. Kaushalya Weeraratne’s five-wicket haul has seen Heinz-Southern Districts dismantle Narre Warren by 49 runs. Weeraratne (5/15) was on fire, while with the bat; Michael Davies (59) led from the front, helping the Cobras reach 7/130. The Magpies were bowled out for 81. And finally, Ryan Hendy (40 not out and 5/10) has put in an all-round spectacle, as Fountain Gate defended just 95 against Lynbrook. Round 5 of the T20 competition will be played on Wednesday 14 December, with Buckley Ridges and Dingley set to be the marquee match of the round.

Sprint of speed breakthrough shows Torana’s a star It took two years and seven attempts, but classy New South Wales chaser Star Torana finally broke through at group level in Thursday night’s $36,000 Group 3 Sir John Dillon Memorial at Sandown Park. At 42 months, Star Torana was the oldest chaser in the field and was friendless in the market, sent to the boxes a $28.20 outsider. Despite the lack of support from punters, Star Torana made a clean get away from box six to take up the early running before crossing to the rail out of the home straight. Star Torana led by two lengths down the back with eight time Sandown feature finalist Dundee Osprey in pursuit the pair soon put a gap on the rest of the field. In a thrilling run to the line, Dundee Osprey lunged at the line but couldn’t catch Star Torana who prevailed by a head. It was the second consecutive Sandown Park group final won by a New South Wales greyhound, following Ando’s Mac’s success in last month’s TAB Melbourne Cup.

Handler Kayla-Jane Coleman with Star Torana after her surprise victory at Sandown Park. “She jumped well last week and I think she got a bit lost, she hadn’t been out of the 595m boxes before,” said handler Kayla-Jane Coleman, deputising for her partner Shaun Evans. “I was hoping she could do the same tonight and just keep her foot on the pedal. “When I saw Dundee Osprey two lengths off I

thought she was gone because he is a strong and very classy greyhound but to her credit she’s a very hard dog to get past once she’s on the lure.” First reaching the race track in January 2015, Star Torana had built a solid career over the following 18 months, winning 15 of 41 starts and contesting six group finals. She was slated to retire to the breeding barn in July, but the decision was made to bring her back in to racing. The decision to bring her back has proven to be a good one - since stepping up to the middle distances in October, she is yet to miss a place in six starts and at career start number 51, has finally broken through for her maiden group race success. “She really deserved one (a group race win). She’s been in heaps and heaps of group finals and she really deserved one of those finals for herself and for the owner,” Coleman said. “She’s a really lovely dog that you can’t help but have a real affection for, she always tries her hardest whenever she races.”

Bowlers feast as batsmen famine By Nick Creely DDCA REVIEW ROUND 6 - DAY 1 DANDENONG WEST v BERWICK WICKETS for entre’, wickets for main, wickets for dessert - that was all that was on the menu in the highly intriguing clash between the Bulls and the Bears at Greaves Reserve. Perhaps it was inevitable that batting would be tough - it rained all of Wednesday and Thursday, but the expectation for Berwick is that with their star studded batting side, they can put away any side, anywhere. But that was certainly not the case, as Peter Atkinson wound back the clock, taking 5/31 and continuing his stunning season in Turf 1. The writing was on the wall early, as Darren de Souza (0) fell in the first over to Atkinson, and from there, the Bears capitulated, losing six wickets in the space of ten overs to be sitting at a shocking 7/16. In fact, the highest score inside the top seven on the batting list was just 5, as the Bears were utterly clueless. The winless Bulls had their tails up, as Atkinson, and fellow seamer Fred Collins (4/37) tore them apart, with stars Nathan Pilon, Jarrod Armitage and Ryan Crawford all back in the sheds without reaching double-figures. But skipper Jarrod Goodes was once again a shining light, rescuing his side from oblivion with a counter-attacking 33, including two sixes, to lift the Bears to 87 - clearly not enough but at least something to give the bowlers a bit of confidence on a tricky pitch. And it seemed the Bulls were flying, notching up 28 for the first wicket, as the possibility of the season’s biggest upset started to grow legs. But from there, the same issues plagued the Bulls, as Peter Atkinson (8) finally fell, and with the pitch doing plenty, suddenly found themselves in serious trouble, sitting at 5/42 before Jarrod Armitage steamrolled the tail, bowling the Westers out for just 58.

Bulls champ Peter Atkinson wound back the clock, dismantling the Bears in the process.163099

VIC PREMIER REVIEW - ROUND 12 - DAY 1 THERE has been very little that has fazed Dandenong in the first-half of this season, but Saturday’s ominous batting performance by Carlton is sure to test the mettle of the Panthers next week. With overcast conditions at Princes Park, the Panthers elected to send the Blues in to face the music, and with an in-form bowling attack comprising of James Pattinson, Justin Butterfield and Adam McMaster, it seemed they would simply be too strong. And the decision was an inspiring one, as rising quick McMaster snared the dangerous Mark Phelan (10) cheaply, and then skipper Lachlan McKenna (7) and Tom Smyth (14) fell soon after to leave the Blues sitting at 3/73. But that’s where things went pear-shaped - the Blues impressive middle-order got their act together quick, and started to find the gaps. It all then started to get away from the Panthers, who for the first time this season looked on

For the first time this season, the Panthers were placed under real pressure. 161782 Picture: ROB CAREW the back foot and without answers. Nicholas Ross and Tom Beaton (67) put on an entertaining 134-run partnership, and before the Panthers knew it, the Blues were well over 200 and setting themselves for a hefty total. Ross was particularly sensational, notching a wonderfully complied 130 not-out, often toying

with a Panthers bowling unit that all of a sudden looked lackluster. McMaster (3/79) continued his strong last month with the ball, while James Nanopoulos (2/67), Peter Cassidy (1/48) and Pattinson (1/25) toiled hard. The Blues finished on 7/351 off 96 overs, with Donovan Pell (56) also scoring an impressive half-century. But next week is sure to be a spectacle - with the Panthers needing to chase down their highest score of the season to keep their foothold on the top of the ladder. But with a batting side comprising of Brett Forsyth, Tom Donnell, James Pattinson and Lincoln Edwards, the Panthers will go in with the confidence that has seen them blitz the competition to date. If there was ever a time and a place to prove their premiership credentials, next Saturday at Princes Park could be potentially season defining for the Panthers.

MOTORING Mazda is fighting for top spot By Alistair Kennedy MAZDA has been enjoying steady growth over the past decade on the Australian new vehicle market overtaking both Holden and Ford on its way to currently sitting second in the overall sales hierarchy behind Toyota. The star performer throughout this period has been the Mazda3 small hatch and sedan which has been having a ding-gong battle with Toyota Corolla for top spot, initially in its category but in the past few years as Australia’s overall biggestseller. Now into its third generation, launched here in January 2014, the Mazda3 first went on sale in Australia in April 2004, replacing the popular Mazda 323. In a very clever marketing move this new simplified naming format ensures that the word ‘Mazda’ is effectively used in every reference to the car. Mazda3 was given a refresher in July 2016 including a mild facelift together with changes to the steering and suspension systems and additional safety equipment. The exterior changes include a re-designed grille and wing with slimmer headlights that are either halogen or LED headlamps depending on the model. LED foglamps are standard on all models above the entry level Neo. Inside, there are changes to the decorative areas of the trim while the side ‘wings’ on the touchscreen display panel are a larger and easier to read. There’s good interior space front and rear. Boot capacity is 408 litres. There are six Mazda3 variants, each available in either five-door hatchback or four-door sedan bodies. In ascending price order they are Neo, Maxx, Touring, SP25; SP25 GT and SP25 Astina.

The big, open grille dominates the front of the popular Mazda3. Prices start at $20,490 for a manual Neo and run through to $35,490 for a SP25 Astina automatic. There is no price differential between hatch and sedan. There are two engine options. Neo, Maxx and Touring grades are powered by a 2.0-litre petrol with 114 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque; the sportier SP25, SP25 GT and SP25 use a 2.5-litre petrol engine with 138kW and 250Nm. Lack of demand saw the previous 2.2-litre

turbo-diesel dropped from the range in January 2014. All models offer the choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Mazda3 has a long list of standard safety equipment. In addition to the usual multiple airbags, enhanced ABS braking and stability/ traction control all models have rear parking sensors; whiplash-minimising front seats; hill start assist; and IsoFix child seat anchor points. Also standard in all models are G-Vectoring

Control (GVC) and Smart City Brake SupportForward (SCBS). The G-Vectoring Control system improves chassis balance by sensing movements of the steering wheel and modifying the amount of torque to each of the front wheels and changing the amount of grip that’s required. Systems that uses sensors and/or cameras to either prevent or reduce the impact of forward collisions are becoming more common.
