Rays set to launch with a sting in their tails

Dancing their way to the top Five students from a Hallam dance school have recently kicked on to high honours. Miranda Shami, Tiana Magnussen, Alycia Siomos, Missy Krilic and Celine Tricarico, all current and former dancers at Independent Dance Studios, have joined prestigious dance institutions this year. Shami, of Cranbourne, has enrolled full-time in the Melbourne-based elite performing arts academy Patrick Studios Australia. Magnussen, of Lynbrook, has joined the Victorian College of the Arts, and Siomos, of Pakenham, is enrolled with contemporary-dance studio Transit Dance. Tricarico, of Berwick, is with Melbourne City Ballet and Fleming, of Kew, has joined the Conservatoire of Classical Ballet. IDS artistic director and principal Nicole Jacobsson paid credit to the dedication and discipline of the dancers, many of whom had trained at the Hallam studios since its inception in 2009.

He concedes it has been a challenge. “That’s the message we’re trying to implement to these kids - not to give up. “They see from my personal experience that I’ll soldier on.” He often meets with up to 30 young men in Melbourne’s south-east and west by phone or

face-to-face for lunch or coffee. “The major thing is they’re looking for work and education, even if they’re unfortunately not getting a lot of support from parents and family friends. “The main concern is they’re trying to build initiative to work, and when it doesn’t happen, they fall back. “They haven’t got that full motivation to pick themselves up. They find it easy to give up.” Mr Yoa said he’s pleased that major reports of trouble among the youths seem to have dissipated. He said that he had no one to look to while he was growing up - until recently. “I’m using that with these kids. I’m growing up with no major support but they’ve got me to look up to and other major athletes to look up to. “I believe it’s catching on to them and that they can transform individually. Obviously they’re not going to transcend things overnight. “Ultimately, it’s up to them.”

Apex Gang members got an inspiring pep talk from world champion sprinter Usain Bolt who urged them to stick to a positive path in life. Meeting ahead of the Nitro race series at Albert Park on 9 February, Bolt was up-beat and gave the 11 young men a lot of time, according to the meeting’s facilitator Nelly Yoa. Bolt’s message was to “surround themselves with a good group of guys”, Mr Yoa of Dandenong said. “If you have a passion, go for it - regardless of whether there are negative influences of family and friends,” Mr Yoa said. Mr Yoa, who has been mentoring the youths over the past year, said he believed the youths were “star struck” by the rare privilege. He hoped some of Bolt’s optimism would rub off on the youngsters.

“I believe they’re taking that on board. “They enjoyed it and were inspired by meeting with them.” Personally, Mr Yoa has been uplifted by his own strong friendship with Bolt, who catches up while on his frequent visits to Australia. Bolt gave encouragement while Mr Yoa was recovering from an horrific machete attack at a Sudanese beauty pageant in 2011. Mr Yoa nearly bled to death. Then he faced the prospect of not only having his promising soccer career ruined but perhaps not walking again. Since then, Mr Yoa has thrown himself into a community leadership role as well as landing a spot with A-League side Melbourne City’s youth squad. Most recently, he’s tried out with AFL side Collingwood as a potential category-B rookie following in the footsteps of former American basketballer Mason Cox. Mr Yoa has spent several weeks learning from

Woman stopped assault By Cam Lucadou-Wells A brave, elderly woman was the only onlooker who stared down a bus commuter who repeatedly punched a man into unconsciousness at Dandenong railway station, a County Court of Victoria judge has noted. Paul Ross, 34, who pleaded guilty to intentionally causing injury, at the time swore back at the courageous woman in her 70s on the morning of 27 April. He then continued to berate his victim. “That’s what you get for mouthing off,” Ross told the motionless man. “You’re f***ing knocked out.” But it was the old woman’s intervention that caused Ross to stop his “serious and brutal assault”, Judge Meryl Sexton said during sentencing on 13 February. Judge Sexton said the woman showed “ex-

traordinary courage” by directly approached Ross within striking distance to tell him to stop. Ross had earlier ignored a bus driver, who pulled up metres from the incident and blasted the bus’s horn. Most witnesses did nothing but attempt to get away from the scene, Judge Sexton said. “I’m satisfied that they didn’t approach you because of the fierce nature of your attack which caused them to be scared for their own safety.” Some stayed perhaps to film the incident on their phone, while two people alerted train authorities with “little success”, the judge said. Ross had described himself as “amped up” at the time, annoyed that his car had broken down that morning and he’d be late to work in catching a bus. “It was not the victim’s day,” he later told police. The victim, who had a history of schizophre-

nia and was unknown to Ross, approached the accused on the station steps and appeared to stand over him. Ross then walked away despite the victim “yapping” at him, Judge Sexton said. At the bus stop, the victim again walked towards Ross, who described himself as going into “hunting mode”. He dropped his backpack and punched the approaching victim to the head. The victim fell backwards onto an elderly man’s shopping jeep and then onto the kerb. Before the victim got up, Ross punched him at least 15 times to the head and body, Judge Sexton said. Judge Sexton said she had no alternative but to jail Ross, given he’d been found guilty of an unprovoked assault in 2013. Ross was jailed for eight months, followed by a two-year community corrections order.

Medal researcher wants YOU for VC research project By Cam Lucadou-Wells If you’re from the same family as a Victoria Cross recipient, Michael Madden wants you. The Berwick medal-mounter and screenwriter has put all his other work on hold for a year to compile a lavish coffee-table book The Victoria Cross, Australia Remembers. He aims to tell the individual stories of the 100 Australian men who have been awarded the Victoria Cross - what he describes as the world’s highest military honour for valour. An unabashed Mr Madden said he could talk all day about Australia’s first WWI Captain Albert Jacka, VC, who had family links to Berwick. On 28 May 1915, The Berwick Shire News and Cranbourne and Pakenham Gazette announced that the freshly crowned hero was a nephew of Mrs H. Davy of the Kippenross estate. Mr Jacka’s extraordinary deeds meant he deserved to be Australia’s most decorated veteran, Mr Madden said. Most thought Mr Jacka should have won more than just one VC for his single-handed repulsion of a Turk counter-attack at Courtney’s Post, Gallipoli. There was also his audacious, virtually-solo rescue of 50 Australian captives in German lines in Pozieres in 1916 as well as more extraordinary gallantry at Bullecourt in 1917. Mr Jacka was “our first world-wide superstar” but his unpopularity with superiors meant he missed out on citations and medals he deserved, Mr Madden said. There was a massive outpouring of public grief after Mr Jacka unexpectedly died from kidney disease aged just 39 years old on 17 January 1932. About 50,000 people attended his funeral despite extreme heat and bushfires raging around Melbourne. A commemorative funeral service is held at St Kilda Cemetery each year. “No one knows who he was now, but he was easily the greatest frontline soldier Australia has produced,” Mr Madden said. Mr Madden collects no wage from this labour of love; all profits go to the critical service The Totally and Permanently Disabled Soldiers Association of Victoria (TPI Association). He credits the TPI Association for saving his

Mr Madden remembers how at the time the association helped lift his family from homelessness. “By the nature of who they are, they are looking after the Diggers who need it the most.” The project has become something of an obsession - and a herculean task, with just four surviving VC medallists in Australia, he concedes. So far, he has video-interviewed 35 awardees or their families in his quest to not only tell the battle stories but “paint a picture” of the people behind the heroism. It’s what will make the book different to the hundreds of times devoted to VC recipients. “One of our fears was that families would not be that receptive to talking, but they’re all about the remembrance. “Everyone else wants to talk about the battlefield stuff, they want to talk about more personal

things.” The graves of VC recipients spread across 15 countries, as far away as remote Russia, Egypt, Libya, Japan, Kenya and Syria, are still to be photographed. Mr Madden has invited Queen Elizabeth II to contribute a foreword, and landed quality publisher Big Sky Publishing to produce the clothbound book. As part of the research, Mr Madden has enjoyed rare access to war memorials, shrines and museums. Recently he travelled to England as perhaps the first Australian to visit and photograph the heavily secured Crimean War cannon metal which is used to make the VC medals. He has also trekked around Australia with TPI Iraq veteran and the project’s lead photographer Gordon Traill to capture VC awardees’ burial sites and their families. Mr Madden has collected video interviews of VC-medallist Keith Payne, Doug Baird, who is the father of posthumous awardee Corporal Cameron Baird, Rob Kenna - son of awardee Edward and others. Mr Baird told of his son’s potentially-great AFL career. Corporal Baird injured his shoulder in his draft year and his life-long desire to follow his father’s footsteps and play for Carlton was thwarted. Fatefully, Corporal Baird instead enlisted in the military. Had he not injured his shoulder he would not have been killed in action during one of several immensely gallant efforts as a Special Operations Task Group member in Afghanistan in 2013. Mr Madden’s next great push is to talk to families of the remaining VC medallists. Anyone who can help is asked to call 0418 900 204 or email michael@berwickmilitarymedals. com.au. Fund-raisers for the book project will be held at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne on 22 March and Box Hill RSL on 23 March. The events feature private viewings of the Lost Diggers of Vignacourt paintings as well as talks by artist George Petrou, Keith Payne, Doug Baird, Rob Kenna, 60 Minutes journalist Ross Coulthart, Hard Jacka author Michael Lawriwsky and Lambis Englezos.

In Brief Baseball bandits strike Violent robbers armed in baseball bats have raided two convenience stores on the same day in attacks police believe to be linked. The first robbery was at a milk bar on Hinrichsen Drive in Hallam about 3.20pm on Friday 10 February. Who men with their faces covered entered the store with baseball bats and demanded cash and cigarettes. The man ran off west along Buckeye Street and across a footbridge to Springfield Drive. At 6pm the same day, the Fleetwood Convenience Store on Fleetwood Drive in Narre Warren was also raided by two men with baseball bats and face coverings. This time they hit the store attendant with a baseball bat leaving bruises to his torso. Cash and cigarettes were stolen and the men ran north-east along Darling Way where they got into a dark coloured Holden and continued to drive north-east. The men were dressed all in black with black caps and bandanas covering their faces. Information to Narre Warren Crime Investigation Unit’s Detective Senior Constable Andrew Walker on 9705 3111.

Concern for missing man Police are seeking public assistance to find a missing Endeavour Hills man who has a regular medication schedule. Craig Tresise, 53, was last seen near North Road and Milgate Street in Oakleigh South about 10pm on Thursday 9 February. Craig is described as 193cm tall with a solid build and a receding hairline with short hair on the sides, and was last seen was wearing a blue Hawaiian-style shirt, blue denim shorts and roman sandals. Police have released an image of Craig in the hope someone recognises him and can provide information regarding his current whereabouts. Anyone with information about Craig is urged to contact Warragul police station on 5622 7111.

Over the limit - twice! A Doveton man has been caught speeding at more than three times the limit in Cranbourne West in the early hours of Monday 13 February. Somerville Highway Patrol members clocked the black 2015 Holden GTS travelling at an alleged speed of 139km/h on the Westernport Highway before being seen on Hall Road at 188km/h in a 60km/h zone, about 2am. The car was pulled over and immediately impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1032 to the driver. A 24-year-old man was charged with two counts of exceeding the speed limit and speeding dangerously and will face Dandenong Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Foy cold on a hot offer By Cam Lucadou-Wells

The ratepayers are “going to be paying for it, not the councillors ”

- John Foy

Inclusion pushed out

John Foy has rebuffed Casey’s offer of a new hot water system. 164864 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Right: John Foy and Marlene Kane in his self-made native gardens. 164864

Shot fired as feuding neighbours take up arms A Dandenong man allegedly fired a 12-gauge shotgun during a dispute in which his brother and a neighbour respectively brandished a pitchfork and an axe, a court has heard. At his bail hearing, Daniel O’Brien, 26, denied he fired the gun despite witnesses reportedly seeing or hearing a discharge about 4.30pm on 12 February. Police informant Acting Sergeant Nick Buxton said the dispute in the neighbour’s yard in Ronald Street was part of an ongoing feud between the O’Brien brothers and the neighbour. As the brother and neighbour faced off with weapons, the neighbour’s mother claimed O’Brien said: “I’ll blast your head off ” and fired a shot in an unknown direction, Sgt Buxton said. “Next one is going in your head,” O’Brien then

allegedly said. Before police arrived, O’Brien had driven away and was initially unable to be contacted by phone. He surrendered himself to Dandenong police station five hours later, Sgt Buxton said. Police told the court they had seized a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition and O’Brien’s firearm licence from his home. O’Brien made no comment during his police interview, the court was told. Defence lawyer Jeisa Javor said O’Brien claimed the incident was “fabricated” and did not occur. She said the complainant’s mother stated she saw her son armed with a small axe threatening O’Brien’s brother with the words “I’ll kill you”. Ms Javor said no shotgun cartridge had been recovered from the scene. Magistrate Gerard Bryant said he was satisfied,

prima facie, that O’Brien had discharged the gun but that it was not fired at the victim. He said the allegations of O’Brien firing the gun as well as making threats to kill were serious. O’Brien was bailed to a Dandenong address on a $10,000 surety and on condition he did not return home “in any circumstances” nor go within five metres of the neighbour. It was effectively an “iron curtain” between O’Brien and the complainant’s family, Mr Bryant said. O’Brien was also required to report three times a week to police, and obey an interim intervention order protecting the complainant. Mr Bryant revoked O’Brien’s firearms licence and required him to inform police of any other weapons in his possession. The accused will appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 14 March.

Casey council’s Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee has been disbanded because it pursued “peripheral, meaningless issues”, Mayor Sam Aziz has said. The committee, made of appointed community volunteers and two councillor delegates, had given the council advice on areas such as indigenous culture, religious diversity, age-related, sexual orientation, social and economic disadvantage and disability issues. Casey councillors voted to disband the committee and review its terms of reference at their 17 January meeting. Cr Aziz said some members had focused on issues such as the State Government’s Safe Schools program when it was better to focus on advocating for issues such as disability access to footpaths, roads and buildings. Committee member Leanne Petrides said she didn’t know why the committee was disbanded. She said the committee had worked closely with the council on facilities such as Livvi’s Place disability-accessible playground and an Aboriginal gathering place in Doveton. It had also advocated on access to footpaths and parking bays, and ageing positively initiatives. The review outcome is expected in April.

Council bows to rate cap Casey council is unlikely to bid for a rate-cap exemption, according to Mayor Sam Aziz. It would be a significant backtrack after a majority of councillors on 20 December agreed that the State Government imposed cap would lead to a shortfall in council services and infrastructure. The State Government set the 2017-’18 rates cap at a 2 per cent increase, which Cr Aziz described as a “shameful outcome for the future of Casey”. However, the council would probably not “waste” resources when it was “impossible” to get an exemption from the Essential Services Commission, he said. “I can’t say with any certainty at this point, but it’s more probable than not that would be the case,” he said. “If it looks like we’d be wasting time and resources due to the dogmatic view of the State Government through the Essential Services Commission, we’ll do what we can to balance the budget.” Far from deterred, Cr Aziz said Casey would do the “unpopular” thing and lobby ahead of the 2018 State Election to allow higher rate rises for growth-areas councils. “We don’t get elected to be popular, but to do the right thing. “A lot of people are struggling with costs of living, but local government is the least-taxing level of government and provides the most to people. “To maintain that quality, we’re just asking for an extra $14 a year per household.” Cr Aziz argued the municipality, on-course to top Tasmania’s population within 20 years, would otherwise face a $200 million black-hole in the next decade.

Fresh from defeating Casey’s push to acquire his property, Narre Warren North resident John Foy has knocked back the council’s “goodwill” offer of a complimentary hot water system. The council had offered a replacement hotwater system out of recognition of the stress caused to Mr Foy - who told Star News that “I can’t be bought off ”. Mr Foy said the system burst several weeks ago “regardless of whether there was an issue with the council”.

“The ratepayers are going to be paying for it, not the councillors,” Mr Foy said. “They’ll just be taking it out of the ratepayers’ money. “If I accept it, what does that make me?” Mr Foy said he’d never sought compensation from the council. “I just didn’t want the bloody (public acquisition) overlay. I’m not looking for anything else.” Invoking the classic Aussie film The Castle, Mr Foy was backed by many neighbours and Facebook warriors in his battle to preserve his 34-acre home and its bird-rich gardens and wetland. Casey councillors voted unanimously on a dramatic, last-minute backdown at a meeting on 7 February. Mr Foy said he was still puzzled as to who and what was behind the stunning reversal, but was thankful for the stoic support of media and neighbours. He singled out the help of residents Marlene Kane, Sharon Richardson, Peterine Smulders and Sandra Velius. “I just want to get the message out there to thank everybody who helped me. They’ve made somebody sit up and listen. “I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall at that (special council) meeting.” Mayor Sam Aziz said he didn’t regret offering the “goodwill gesture”. “It was up to him whether to accept it. “We still extend to Mr Foy our goodwill and best wishes for the future.”

Trek teacher’s triumph By Cam Lucadou-Wells A couple has taken the term ‘working holiday’ to new heights by helping rebuild a school during the depths of a Nepalese winter. An exhilarated Taran O’Donovan, who along with his partner Melanie Hill and 16 others in the Thisworldexists tour group hauled rocks, levelled earth, rendered walls and dug trenches, said he was keen for more. “It’s about making a difference,” Mr O’Donovan of Upper Beaconsfield said. “It was an awesome experience.” After hiking to Everest Base Camp in minus-30 degree temperatures, the tour group visited the village of Sorung Chhabise to rebuild its school which had been extensively damaged by earthquakes in April 2015. Students were still using part of the school as the volunteers and villager-builders set to work on a “complete rebuild” over the next six days. Mr O’Donovan, a student teacher and son of Hallam manufacturing manager Tony, said it was his passion for education that got him interested in the volunteer project. “Education is something we take for granted in Western society. We have the opportunity to study whatever we want. “It’s foreign to them. The school we were building teaches English as well which gives them an advantage to make something of themselves.” The project is expected to be finished in about two months. At that stage the school will have tripled in capacity to about 200 students and will, hopefully, attract more children to attend classes. The classes would be unrecognisable to a Melburnian student - no internet for research, dark rooms with little natural light or ventilation, and small tables and chairs. Many homes were without power and were remote - about a 10-hour hair-raising drive from the capital Kathmandu. “If they had the internet, it would open up a massive world of learning. They wouldn’t have to be travelling long distances to be educated.” The days of hard, back-breaking work at Sorung Chhabise started at 4.30-5am.

It’s none of our business but… A man’s loud interjecting led him to being thrown out of his own bail hearing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. Guarded by three police officers in the dock, the man told the court: “I want to represent myself. I have so many questions to pose to the man who arrested me today.” As police described what happened, the man interrupted with a loud shriek: “F***ing what!” and the judge had him promptly dispatched to the police cells. Sunday trading at Dandenong Market is now more popular than the traditional Tuesday market. Visitor numbers have grown from 9000 to 21,500 since the market first opened on Sundays two years ago, corporate services director Mick Jaensch told the Monday 13 February Greater Dandenong Council meeting. The market’s board is now looking at extending Sunday trading hours.

Thisworldexists volunteers reach Everest Base Camp. There were few tools - just “two shovels and half a wheelbarrow” - to clear a vast number of huge rocks and rubble from the site, Mr O’Donovan said. One of the party improvised tools made from bamboo was used to help scrape and level surfaces. It was certainly different to Mr O’Donovan’s other trips through Asia and Europe. “When you normally think of a holiday, you think of putting your feet up. “This was a challenge.” One of the highlights was immersing in the village culture and mixing with appreciative villagers who hadn’t seen foreigners before. “They were just looking at us with disbelief.” Another searing memory was looking out the bus down the edge of a narrow mountain pass to a river about one kilometre below. The Thisworldexists tourists were a mix of

A 20-year Dandenong stalwart was ripped from his porch in a night-time raid. Pat Cross told the Journal that “lowlifes” stole the gargoyle from her front porch overnight on Tuesday 24 January, more than two decades after he first took up residence there. “It was concrete and very solid and heavy so I believe two people would need to carry it and put it into a car,” she said. Get in touch with the Journal with any information about his whereabouts. Visitor numbers at Dandenong and Springvale libraries are continuing to grow. A Greater Dandenong Council progress report for the period from 1 October to 31 December last year revealed that the libraries attracted 283,759 visitors during the quarter, up 7000 on the same period the previous year. Dandenong’s Heritage Hill Museum and Historical Gardens attracted 24.9 per cent more people over the like period.

100 years ago

50 years ago

22 February 1917 Will you help to send a solider something to smoke? 1/- will provide 50 cigarettes, 20 ounces tobacco and some matches for some lonely soldier. He will thank you for the gift on the addressed postcard which will be enclosed in the parcel. Pay in your 1/- at any savings bank or post office and fill in your name and address on the collection list there. You may also state the particular regiment you wish to benefit. The bank will forward the amount free of exchange. Every penny subscribed will be spent on tobacco cigarettes - nothing is deducted for expenses.

14 February 1967 Area sewerage to be completed Authority was given by Springvale City Council at its meeting last week for sewerage connections to the city hall buildings. A letter was received from Springvale and Noble Park Sewerage Authority stating service was now available. The connection will complete conversion of all buildings from septic tank service.

20 years ago 17 February 1997 45 seeking election Greater Dandenong has drawn a huge field of candidates for the council election on 15 March - 45 candidates in the 11 wards. The number of candidates, in draw on the ballot paper are: seven seeking election to Keysborough South, six males and one female; five in Dandenong, four males

and one female; four in Dandenong North, three males and one female; two in Keysborough, two females; three in Noble Park, three males; three in Noble Park North, one male and two females; four in Springvale South, two males and two females; five in Springvale Central, three males and two females; four in Springvale North, three males and one female; five in Cleeland, three males and two females; and three in Lyndale, two males and one female.

5 years ago 20 February 2012 Help needed, say traders In a last-ditch attempt to save their livelihood, the Little India traders of Foster Street in Dandenong held a blessing ceremony for Premier Ted Baillieu last week in the hope he would came to the once-popular precinct and see their plight. But the guest of honour was nowhere to be seen last Tuesday.

Disappointed traders and religious leaders conducted the blessing ceremony for Mr Baillieu’s upcoming super-trade mission to India without him and his planning minister Matthew Guy. The ceremony was a cry for help from the traders who had fallen on hard times after the former Brumby government acquired their stores in 2008 as part of the revitalisation of Dandenong. Foster Street Traders Association spokeswoman Kaushaliya Vaghela was disappointed but not surprised the premier had not attended. “Unfortunately, this probably shows that Ted Baillieu doesn’t care what’s happening to the traders over here,” she said. “It’s quite ironic, when you’re going overseas to convince the investors over there to invest money in Victoria while businesses who have already invested money here are getting ignored.”

His heart was in the city’s soul What’s In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city’s best-known street names. This week the Journal looks at Patchell Lane, off Pultney Street in central Dandenong. Bruce Patchell was born in Tatura and moved to Dandenong in 1936. He lived there until his death in 2011, bar five years of war service, and contributed widely and generously to the city’s economic and community life. His son Jeff Patchell wrote in the Dandenong and District Historical Society journal GippsLand Gate that he had often heard his Dad referred to as Mr Dandenong. “His heart lay with this district, its people, its personalities, businesses and organisations,” he wrote. A relative found Bruce a hairdressing apprenticeship in Collingwood when he moved to Dan-

WHAT’S IN A

NAME denong, which he eventually broke to shift to a Dandenong barber shop. In 1939 he became a regular visitor to Ewarts Newsagency where he eyed an attractive assistant named Chris Webster and started a courtship that lasted for the next 71 years. Bruce’s apprenticeship was again interrupted when he signed up to the AIF at the Dandenong Drill Hall. “Next in line to him was young Maurie Jarvis, another man who became a lifelong mate and an institution in Dandenong,” Jeff wrote.

“While on a three-day leave break in early 1942, Dad and Mum married and he then headed north to serve as a machine-gunner on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait. “They were not reunited again until the war ended three and a half years later.” They moved in together, had children, Jeff and Heather, and Bruce finished his hairdressing apprenticeship. In 1950 he opened his own business in Dandenong, followed soon after with a second shop and later two more. “Dad joined the Chamber of Commerce in 1951 and served on its executive for the next 54 years,” Jeff wrote. “He was a prime mover on the chamber’s committee for its annual Carols by Candlelight event, held in the park opposite their home for more than 50 years. “They would host an after-party for the organisers and for performers such as John Farnham

and Denis Walter - two of Mum’s favourite sons. “Dad was also the longest-serving active member of the Dandenong Club, which came into being in 1955 at the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce. “The club soon became the unofficial meeting place, where the real business of the district was discussed and negotiated. “If things needed to be organised or funds raised for the Chamber of Commerce, Dandenong Football Club, the agricultural society, Rotary or many other groups, Dad was your man.” It was Bruce who spear-headed the local contribution to the 1974 Cyclone Tracy Appeal. Dandenong became a major reception centre for evacuees. Bruce was perhaps best known for his role in The Pillars of Freedom project.

Introducing your

School Principal Tim Hogan

With talented, well regarded and highly qualified Christian teachers who understand children, Maranatha students have the opportunity to learn, develop, serve, grow and excel by participating in a rigorous, challenging and engaging curriculum at either of our two well-resourced Junior Schools at Officer and Doveton or our highly regarded Middle and Senior School at Endeavour Hills. Life is a journey, but with a great foundation in the partnership that is Maranatha, children can become the fine young men and women God intended them to be.

Maranatha is a safe Christian learning community in partnership with home and church that helps children find true success in life. Through a model of Christcentred education within a safe environment, we seek to inspire children to think Christianly about the world, and so use their God given gifts and talents for the benefit of others.

St John’s Regional College is a Catholic Co-educational School with a proud 59 year history of serving the Greater Dandenong Community. We are a vibrant, multi-cultural, learning community holding a strong belief that each child is made in the image of God. This belief motivates us to provide many opportunities for our students. It allows them to develop their gifts and talents not only in the core areas of literacy and numeracy, but also in the Arts, Technology, Languages, Humanities, Science and Health and Physical Education. We want all of our students to have success and take ownership of their learning. St John’s achieves this by providing an encouraging and safe environment. Students can ask questions and are challenged to take risks. We provide our students with feedback and ask that they practise and demonstrate new knowledge and skills. These opportunities and challenges are offered in the secure and pastoral environment of our House System. It is here that our staff will work closely with your child over their six year journey at St John’s and come to know them well. Knowing your child, we can both challenge and support them in their journey to be the best they can be. I warmly invite you to visit our College, tour our wonderful facilities, meet our staff and students and see how St John’s Regional College can make a difference in the life of your child.

Ms Annette Rome What makes a great school? Highly skilled teachers, a strong sense of identity, strong relationships with and being part of an active, engaged academic community that thirsts for continuous improvement. St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School aims to engender all these while building on a respected and successful 90-year history. Evidence for our success is not only excellent NAPLAN, Year 12 and other academic results but also the strong, purposeful relationships the school has built with the International Baccalaureate, Duke of Edinburgh Awards and the Queen Margaret of Scotland Association. The school is recognized for its exemplary participation and success in STEM programs including space, engineering and technology related innovation. Likewise, its unique blend of co-education and single sex schooling positions it to respond nimbly to research on excellence in schooling.

12340314-LB08-17

In order for young people to succeed in an increasingly complex environment, children need a high quality education; to be taught skills to achieve success, and to think critically, enabling them to become good decision-makers, responsible global citizens and lifelong learners.

My own personal philosophy values intellect, integrity, humour, humility, striving for improvement and developing genuine global citizenship. The ‘fit’ of a leader is crucial to the success of a school and coming here, to a school whose values so reflect mine, augurs well for a community actively committed to progress. This progress is tempered by commitment to the development of dispositions that predispose the young people in our care to be the best they can be - ethically, intellectually and physically – for themselves and others with whom they share this planet. I would warmly invite you to visit St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School at our upcoming open event on Wednesday 22 March commencing at 9am.

School’s engaged in learning journey

Founded in 2007, the show has gone from strength to strength showcasing some of the best train layouts and train modellers in Australia. In 2017 this successful formula has been expanded and organisers hope the show will become a must-see for all the family. The show will feature exhibits, displays and activities over three days in five locations at Sandown. On Sunday the F1 Air Race on the race track viewed from the grandstand. Organisers say their mission is to inspire, enthuse and foster interest in models and hobbies for all ages.

The Train and Hobby Show as also released a new series of 200 collectible swap cards featuring model trains, cars, planes, tanks, trucks, ships and boats that are available from all good model and hobby shops for free.

Tickets to the show are adults, 16 years and older, $15; Children 4-15 years of age $5; children 3 and under free. Sandown is accessible by car and train with free on-site parking.

Educators know that wellbeing and intellectual engagement are the cornerstones of happy successful learning. A young person’s wellbeing is crafted from a clear understanding of their identity, strong relationships and active participation in a purposeful, high achieving community that has a clear understanding of the values and missions that sustain it. According to St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School principal Annette Rome, recent work on engagement also differentiates between social, academic and intellectual. Ms Rome said social engagement links to feelings of belonging, academic engagement reflects commitment to work such as regular attendance, completion of set work, and intellectual engagement is defined as ‘serious emotional and cognitive investment in learning’. “Schools have to make a concerted effort to scaffold the learning opportunities to enable the emotional and cognitive elements. “This involves knowing exactly what each student knows, feels and does - their passions, their challenges. “Once known, a teacher and the school can design opportunities that really do engage the young people socially, academically and intellectually.” She said a recent Grattan Report also highlighted the importance of engagement in active learning. “All teachers at St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School have regular opportunities to collaborate with their colleagues and to give and receive feedback on how to improve the classroom climate for learning, as well as access to learning about teaching practices that ensure active learning can be encouraged and monitored, ably managed through the school’s professional learning program,” Ms Rome said. “The St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School curriculum also responds to the students’ passions. “The IB PYP in the Junior School ensures that students play an active role in developing essential questions.” She said a visit to the junior classrooms demonstrates young people actively engaged in en-

St Margaret’s and Berwick Grammar School principal Annette Rome. 164381 quiry, while regular morning sessions on literacy and numeracy enable a strong basis for further discipline exploration. “The Endeavour Program for year nine boys takes young people from the Alpine mountain tops to sailing boats on the reefs of Queensland. “The year nine Journey Program for girls also enhances identity, relationships and community at this crucial time in a young person’s life.” Other opportunities include science based trips to NASA in the USA, national and international cultural and language tours, sport and academic competitions and student led initiatives, all of which provide motivation for serious emotional and cognitive investment in learning. For further information phone the school on 9703 8111.

Are you prepared for grassfire?

If you live in a rural area surrounded by grasslands or paddocks, you could be at risk of grassire. Travelling at speeds of up to 25kph, grassires can quickly threaten lives and property. Reduce your risk, slash or mow grass to create fuel breaks around your home, and avoid using machinery near grass on hot, dry, windy days. The reasons why are black and white.

SPORT Talents by the ton deliver wins By Nicholas Creely The strength and power of the Dandenong District Cricket Association has culminated in two highly impressive representative wins in the last week. On Sunday 12 February, another incredible century by Cranbourne champion and DDCA skipper Matt Chasemore (his fifth of the year), led the DDCA to a commanding victory over their rival association South East CA at Ben Kavanagh Reserve in Mordialloc, their third in a row. Winning the toss and batting, the DDCA, led by Chasemore (117) and Mordialloc all-rounder Ian Daniel (34), flayed the ball to all parts, with Parkfield’s Travis D’Souza (28) also chiming in with some handy runs. By the end of the 40 overs, the DDCA had racked up a dominant total of 8/258 at an ominous run-rate of 6.45. And the SECA was no match to the prowess of the DDCA bowling unit, rolled for just 168 off 36.3 overs - Daniel (2/6) was once again impressive, while Berwick captain Jarrod Goodes (2/40) led the attack and Jagveer Hayer (2/5) found some quick wickets. Sky-high on confidence, the DDCA then met Victorian Premier club Dandenong in their annual Twenty20 match on Wednesday 15 February. The match, played at Carroll Reserve in Dandenong, has always been a high-quality spectacle between the two sides. Once again, the DDCA elected to bat on a highly renowned batting deck, fronting up against a Dandenong side with a large string of their top-players out, but still enough stars in their side to cause some headaches. But the star within Ian Daniel (62) shone once again, playing a stellar knock to lift the DDCA to an imposing total of 5/167 off its 20 overs. Others among the runs were Chasemore (33)

Ian Daniel was a star in both games for the DDCA. 164606 and Mordialloc’s Damith Rapa Malage (36 not out), who both played handy support roles and were highly creative with their stroke-play. It was then Jurgen Andersen (3/9) who took over proceedings, bowling a vintage spell to bowl out the Panthers for 111 off 17.4 overs.

Picture: GARY SISSONS

Travis D’Souza (2/3) and Ruwantha Kellepotha (2/14) were valuable support acts in a dominant performance, while the fielders forced three run-outs in an impressive display of teamwork. Attention will now turn to the highly anticipated DDCA Twenty20 finals on Wednesday 22

February between Cranbourne and Buckley Ridges at Park Oval in Dandenong. Both sides have had flawless campaigns, with the Eagles only two weeks ago tasting victory in the Cricket Victoria Regional Big Bash, and will undoubtedly go into the match as the favourites.

Bears and Eagles on the brink of extinction By Nicholas Creely DDCA TURF 1 Review - Round 10 (Day 1) In the context of the season, there is no round more important than this as the DDCA contenders get separated from the pretenders. With just four points separating second from seventh, wins are now crucial, and any slip-ups can potentially draw the curtain for any team. But it’s not just at the top that is most intriguing - down the bottom end of the table, three teams are battling to avoid relegation. Springvale South has posted a monster 7/331 in their season-defining clash with Cranbourne at Alex Nelson Reserve. Needing a win to climb their way back into the four, Bloods skipper Craig Slocombe elected to bat. And although no Bloods batsman made triplefigures, they completely dominated the Eagles, flaying them to all parts. Michael Vandort (61) and Andrew Straude (71 not out) both made terrific, if not contrasting, half-centuries, while five other batsman made between 20-35, as the Bloods showcased that their batting is a force to be reckoned with. The Eagles are going to need their two key lynch-pins, Matt Chasemore and Steven Spoljaric to fire next week, or they will face the likelihood of being booted out of the four with a round to go. Berwick’s fight to stay inside the top-four will hinge on their star-studded bowling line-up, after scratching its way to 192 at Reedy Reserve against Heinz-Southern Districts. The Cobras elected to bowl at home, where Bears openers Josh Holden (11) and Darren de Souza (3) were suffocated early before both fell within 20 runs. And despite little cameo’s from Nathan Pilon (25), Paul Evans (34), Adam Watson (41) and Corey Bevan (25 not out), the Bears couldn’t find their trademark momentum with the blade. Cobras’ bowlers Michael Davies (2/15) and Kaushyla Weeraratne (2/53) were at their best early, however no bowler really stood out in an even bowling performance. The Cobras are currently 0/7, and with one hand on the trigger that could spell disaster for the Bears’ finals hopes. Narre Warren seems likely to avoid relegation, after a strong showing against Dandenong West. Winning the toss and batting, Janaka Liyanabadalge (64) once again starred for the Magpies, before Craig Boswell (69) and Matin Sultani (58) lifted the visitors to 242 - Peter Atkinson was the pick of the bowlers for the Bulls with 3/52. The Bulls are 3/15, and suddenly are the team most likely to drop down to Turf 2 next season. Mordialloc are in prime position for a finalsfinish, completely outclassing Parkfield at Ben Kavanagh Reserve. The Bears stood no chance to Stuart Squires (4/32), who shredded a hapless batting line-up, before Manish Dabarera (43) provided some brave resistance with the bat.

Darren Andrews steams in for Dingley during the crunch-clash against Hallam Kalora Park on Saturday. 165018 Picture: ROB CAREW The Bloodhounds skittled them for just 96 off 50 overs in a powerful warning to their rivals. Currently, the Bloodhounds sit comfortably at 3/59, and could potentially steal second-spot from the Eagles’ grasp next week, while the Bears are battling to stay off the bottom, and will need to provide some resistance to avoid an outright defeat. Down at Hallam, the Hawks are locked in a close battle with Dingley on a flat batting-track, with the Dingoes needing to win to keep their finals dream alive. Winning the toss and batting, the Hawks crafted their way to a strong total of 7/233, with Ryan Hillard (57), Ben Hillard (48) and skipper Steve

Gilmour (41) all combining. Calvin Barlow was excellent with the ball, taking two wickets, while Jasenthuliyana Chathuranga continued his strong latter part of the season with a couple of wickets. Finally, down at Park Oval, Buckley Ridges are set to sneak their way into the top-four after setting themselves up for an outright victory over North Dandenong. The Maroons batted first and were skittled for just 129, before the Bucks swiftly chased it down by stumps, finishing the day on 4/135.

Panthers gun with another ton By Nicholas Creely VIC PREMIER CRICKET Review - Round 16 (Day 2) Its twelve centuries and counting now for champion Dandenong batsman Brett Forsyth (111), after the star opener belted a hapless Frankston bowling unit all around Shepley Oval on Saturday. After the Heat amassed 230 against a depleted and inexperienced Panther bowling unit, there was no taking things for granted on an overcast morning perfect for seam bowling. In the tricky chase of 231, the Panthers lost skipper Tom Donnell (3) early in the piece courtesy of some great pace-bowling from Ben Ashkenazi. And after swiftly moving his way to 18, the impressive Ryan Quirk, who has had to bide him time in the seconds, fell LBW to Jackson Mockett, leaving the Panthers shaky at 2/36. But Lincoln Edwards (85) linked up with Forsyth, with the pair adding 120runs with relative ease, dragging the score up to 3/156 before Edwards lost his stumps to Mockett. Edwards, who moved across from Melbourne at the start of the season, has been in stellar touch for the Panthers with three consecutive half-centuries. James Pattinson (52 not out) -returning from state duties- then joined Forsyth at the crease, and quickly killed off any life in the contest, playing some cracking shots, hitting seven boundaries. Forsyth brought up his wonderful century with a classy boundary off Mockett, before unfortunately falling right on the stroke of stumps. The dynamic opening batsman has enjoyed another consistent campaign at the top-of-the-order for the Panthers with his skipper. The Panthers finished off on 4/279 off 77 overs in a commanding display, and are likely to regain the services of their champion quick Justin Butterfield next week. The win leaves the Panthers virtually securing a top-four spot. Meanwhile, at Casey Fields, CaseySouth Melbourne has finally cemented its spot in the finals after crushing Kingston Hawthorn. The Swans were sky-high on confidence after posting 7/356 last week, but knew the going would be tough against a solid batting opposition. Or at least that’s what they thought. In-form quick Brendan Rose (5/35) then bowled his way to a third five-wickethaul to take his wicket-tally to 35 for the season in a rampaging spell, as the Hawks rolled over meekly for just 159 -200 runs short of victory. Leigh Diston took two wickets, while Jackson Fry, Nathan Lambden and Lachlan Sperling all chimed in with a wicket apiece.

Rhythm returns for Rangers as they crush Perth Lynx By Nicholas Creely The Dandenong Rangers have finally found their vintage touch at the perfect time, crushing Perth Lynx 81-59 in a dominant display on the stroke of finals. It’s been a different looking Rangers outfit post-Christmas, with mental lapses plaguing them for the most part. But their early season dominance rewarded them with a guaranteed spot in the finals heading into the clash with the Lynx, but both teams were still searching for that elusive home-final next week. With everything on the line for both teams to put themselves in a strong position come next week’s highly anticipated finals series, the crowd was packed to the rafters to see some high-quality finals-like basketball. The atmosphere resembled that of a final both teams primed to pounce and in the spotlight with a live feed and commentary of the match available for people unable to make it to the game.

The match played at Dandenong Stadium on Saturday night was the perfect tune-up for the Rangers, who were looking to build some momentum after enduring patchy and inconsistent form which has worried the coaching staff and supporters. Rangers coach Larissa Anderson spoke about her side’s performance last week against Sydney Uni, lamenting that her team was almost back to their best, and it certainly proved to be right when the Rangers shot out to a 21-12 quarter-time lead. Sara Blicavs, as she has all year, looked electric early, and seemed like she would almost drag her team over the line herself. That accuracy and potency in their shooting made a triumphant return, with passages of play spectacularly similar to how they played earlier in the season. Their dominance continued into the secondquarter, with the Rangers doubling their score and then some, as the Lynx struggled to contain the shooting prowess of Blicavs, Steph Cumming and Aimee Clydesdale.

And it was no turning back for the Rangers, who with the crowd on their side, comfortably held on after being briefly challenged to temporarily occupy second-spot on the WNBL ladder. Blicavs (20 points, 6 rebounds), Clydesdale (12 points, six assists and 2 rebounds), Nat Novosel (18 points, 7 rebounds) and Cumming (19 points, 4 rebounds, three assists) were all prominent as usual for the Rangers, while for the Lynx Sami Whitcomb (17 points) starred. The Rangers hold second-spot after their home-and-away season, but if Townsville win on Sunday (after going to print), the Rangers finish in third spot and will most likely have to head off to face the Fire in Townsville. Anderson is likely to careful manage her stars’ workloads this week, as yet another finals series for the highly successful franchise out of Dandenong beckons.

Ripper run shows how it’s done Ebby Ripper’s rise through the greyhound racing staying ranks continued on Thursday night as she put on a galloping exhibition to blitz her rivals at her Sandown Park debut. Arriving from Sydney earlier in the afternoon, Ebby Ripper showed no ill effects from the 10-hour trip, jumping cleanly from box six to sit outside early leader Dundee Calypso through the first turn. The pair cleared out from the field with Ebby Ripper stalking the lamplighter for an entire lap before maker her move down the back straight. She drew level at the final mark before powering away to win by seven and a quarter lengths. “I couldn’t be happier with her,” said her delighted trainer, Michael Eberand. “She normally gets back so I was looking for her early and couldn’t find her. “Then I looked up the front and there she was - second - so I was a bit shocked and pleasantly surprised.” The win was her fourth consecutive victory and the tenth of her 25 start career. Her winning time of 41.68 was the fastest over the distance since Burn One Down - widely regarded as the country’s best stayer - ran 41.37 in August 2016. Eberand is confident his exciting stayer has further improvement ahead of her. “Her run-home times at Wenty are out of this world, probably up there with (dual Sandown Cup winner) Sweet It Is. “We know she is strong, she’s only just turned two (on 9 February) and she’s learning all the time.” Eberand is no stranger to preparing and travelling with a stayer. He raced Ebby Ripper’s mother, Ebby Miss, who, despite winning just four races in her 55 race career, reached four group finals. Two of those finals were are at Sandown Park, including the 2011 group 1 Bold Trease final in which she finished fourth. “I’ve used the lead from that race every week,

at her next start when she lines up in a heat of the group 1 Super Stayers at The Meadows on Saturday 25 February. While guarded about her chances in her first attempt at that level, Eberand was clear about her ultimate goal.

“The Sandown Cup - that’s definitely the plan, that’s why we’re here tonight.” The RSN Racing and Sport Sandown Cup is the world’s richest race for stayers, carrying $250,000 in prize money and will be run on Thursday 25 May.

Stingrays to benefit from state-of-the-art training in an elite setting By Nicholas Creely A revamped and rejuvenated Dandenong Stingrays group seems primed to bounce into the 2017 TAC Cup season with vigour after training the house down in their makeshift home at Frankston Park. With Shepley Oval unavailable over the summer due to Victorian Premier Cricket commitments, the Stingrays made Frankston’s former VFL ground its training base due to the VFL club being booted out of the competition for at least the next two years. And Stingrays coach Craig Black believes the use of the elite training facility is likely to see his young chargers rewarded from the experience. “We’ve had a really good pre-season to date - it’s great to have an elite facility in Frankston where we have access to weights and a full-length footy ground - we hope we can see the reward for being able to use it,” he said. On Monday 20 February, the Stingrays will

Stingrays coach Craig Black. 152161 reduce their list from roughly 90 youngsters to around 60, a tough process not lost on the coach. “We’ve played an intra-club, a game against

Sandringham and we play Murray Bushrangers soon which will be good for us - we finalise our squad with cuts on Monday, which is exciting for some and disappointing for others - you never want to be the bearer of bad news but that’s how it is,” he said. Black said that the Stingrays set the standards high and want to play finals, but conceded that due to a number of factors, it may influence how they confront the season, one of them being injuries to some of his talented youngsters. “It’s a tough competition - we played 53 players last year, which is a lot. “It wasn’t ideal going out in straight-sets but we usually set ourselves a goal of playing two finals - they have changed the finals this year into a knockout which will be different,” he said. “We obviously want to make the finals - we have five of the AIS Academy players this year, one being Aaron Darling who did his ACL - they did two weeks at an AFL club this year and about a week in Florida. “Aaron did his knee in November, we have to

remember he is a young man with, hopefully, 15 years of footy ahead of him - he has a long way to go. “He’s been injured before and he is relentless in getting his way back - he will get involved in coaching which will improve his footy as a whole.” Changes have been made to the coaching structure across the lines, but Black is looking forward to challenging his coaches. “We lost Wayne Siekman, obviously, to Collingwood to coach their AFLW team - Josh Bourke who was coaching our Under 16s this year has stepped up which is great and will look after the forwards. “Nathan Harris has gone from forwards to backs, Nick Cox will now go from backs to mids, but it’s exciting for all involved and a challenge,” he said. The Dandenong Stingrays will kick off their TAC Cup season on 25 March against Gippsland Power, with the match to be played at Morwell Recreation Reserve.
