Giant zucchinis are a mouthful An Endeavour Hills green thumb has grown gasp-worthy gourds.

Antonio Maitino planted the near two metre-long zucchinis back in October after buying seeds from the Caribbean Gardens market for what he thought were standard zucchinis.

His daughter, Linda Angelakis, said it was the first time he’d tried his hand at growing them, and he’d cultivated six of the giant vegies.

“We didn’t think they were going to be that big,” she said.

“They ate some today and they said they tasted really good, so they’ll just give some out to family.”

Ms Angelakis said her dad had always grown his own produce.

“All our vegetables are all fresh; we hardly buy anything from the stores,” she said.

Mr Maitino grows another member of the zucchini family, dries them out and transforms them into ducks using paint.

“They’re a zucchini as well, but they grow big down the bottom and little at the top,” Ms Angelakis said.

A People’s Panel of residents has called on Casey council to cut services in order to put rates rises on hold.

The 54 residents tabled a report of 24 recommendations which included higher fees for “nonessential” services and developer contributions.

Casey Council Mayor Sam Aziz said the People’s Panel recommendations were “outstanding” and validated the council’s efforts to better respond to residents’ needs.

The panel advised Casey to shut down services duplicated by other agencies and industries, to explore more outsourcing and to do an efficiencyreview of all services in their 18 April report.

Other People’s Panel recommendations included: · Cutting labour costs by partnering with employment and volunteer programs; · Improving opportunities for local business to win council tenders; · Reviewing hard waste collections - such as cutting to one free collection a year or providing vouchers to dump at the tip; · Live-streaming council meetings, and seeking more community feedback on major decisions and · Exploring a “big employment and education attractor” to Casey.

The findings were being incorporated into Casey’s draft 2017-21 Council Plan, Cr Aziz said.

“Everything from the budget to our capital works priorities will be driven by the priorities outlined by the panel.

“It’s incredible what we can achieve as a community when we sit down in the spirit of co-operation and work together to try and tackle the many challenges we face as a community.”

Brendan Browne, of the Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association, said some of the costcutting recommendations should be taken with a

“grain of salt” due to “an element of push-polling” by the council.

“Participants were repeatedly told of the $180 million shortfall that is supposed to befall council in 11 years’ time, despite the fact that this figure is based on highly unreliable assumptions.

“It’s not surprising that the People’s Panel findings expressed a willingness to accept reduced services and increased fees, when participants are led to believe the council is facing a financial disaster with no other solution.”

The CRRA was particularly supportive of panellists’ call for more council transparency, Mr Browne said.

He said charging more for non-essential services could be a false economy.

“If you increase charges at Casey RACE swimming pool, it may reduce the number of customers and actually cost the council money.”

The panellists, selected from a pool of 6000 invitees across a range of demographics and Casey suburbs, met four times in March to form their recommendations. They were briefed by Casey Council about its budget challenges, including the constraint of rate-capping.

They received talks from Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association member Brendan Browne as well as urban futurist Stephen Yarwood, who talked about aiming for a ‘small council, big community’ model.

The panel was complemented by a ‘budget allocator’, which received 172 community submissions. Submitters most popularly requested more funding for new infrastructure, planning for the future, and children, youth and family services.

The highest priorities for cuts were communications and advocacy, the arts and planning regulation.

A Casey Youth Panel, which also met in March, prioritised public safety at night and on public transport, environmental protection and respect for diversity.

The City of Casey has teamed up with the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVTRC) and Victoria Police on a campaign aimed at driving down motor vehicle theft in Casey.

Operation Bounce Back aims to educate the community in protecting themselves from motor vehicle theft.

The panel decided on 24 recommendations which they’ve presented to Council, and they will now be used to shape the Draft 2017-21 Council Plan and 2017-18 Draft Budget.

It’s important to remember that car security begins at home, and the easiest way to avoid becoming a victim of motor vehicle theft is to reduce the opportunity for offenders.

Thieves often target homes to steal car keys of secure vehicles; enhancing your home’s security is one way to prevent that occurring as well as safeguarding your vehicle’s keys - they are worth as much as the value of your car.

No local push for injecting room Australian Sex Party leader Fiona Patten has declared Cranbourne was never a part of her proposed trial of medically supervised safe-injecting rooms in Richmond.

Ms Patten - who is leading a state parliamentary enquiry into the trial - attacked Casey council’s “strong” opposition to any safe-injecting rooms in the municipality on 18 April.

“Where the council gets this idea that a centre will move to Cranbourne is beyond me.

“There’s never been a suggestion that a safe-injecting room would be based in Cranbourne.

“The only place it came from was from (SouthEast Metropolitan MP) Inga Peulich. She somehow decided that was the case.

“It certainly wasn’t me and I was the mother of the proposal.”

Ms Patten also took aim at Premier Daniel Andrews and State Opposition leader Matthew Guy,

telling them to “put their sticks down” and drop their opposition to the 12-month trial.

It was backed by a Coroner’s Court recommendation for a safe injecting centre in Richmond, as well as by local doctors, traders, paramedics and residents, Ms Patten said.

There had been 34 overdoses in Richmond in the past year.

“In Richmond, everyone wants it. We’ve got every single agency on side but Matthew Guy and Daniel Andrews aren’t going to do it because it’s not ‘tough on crime’.”

She said research showed that all of the 100 safeinjecting sites around the world had reduced overdoses, ambulance call-outs, used syringe litter and the cost of drug-crime trials.

“There has been no increase in drug dealing in these areas.”

Police around Australia’s only safe-injecting centre in Kings’ Cross in Sydney had found it to be “brilliant”, Ms Patten said.

“Rather than dealing with drug overdoses and people hitting up in the streets, they’re dealing with the drug traffickers, burglaries and those types of crimes.”

Ms Patten directly challenged Casey councillor Gary Rowe’s claim that fatal “hot shots” could be delivered in a safe-injecting room.

“There’s never been an overdose death in a safeinjecting room,” she said.

Ms Patten, who is also involved in a drug-law reform inquiry at State Parliament, said Victoria was “behind the eight-ball” in drug treatment and needed an “holistic” approach.

“We know that safe-injecting rooms help people get to treatment and on the path to rehabilitation. It’s the best way to reduce harm.

“We speak to parents of drug addicts who died.

They say if only our son and daughter could be saved before their drug overdose.

“We need to focus on saving lives.”

She said jailing drug addicts didn’t deal with the

Storms clouds of war

Peulich in the fight of her life as the contenders circle

By Cam Lucadou-Wells South-Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich is in a fight for her political life, with a four-way contest to keep her prized number two spot on the Liberal Party ticket for the 2018 state election.

The shadow cabinet member is being challenged

by Casey councillor Damien Rosario, former Casey mayor and Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford as well as Mark Barrow in the pre-selection battle.

Sitting Liberal MP Gordon Rich-Phillips is unopposed on the number one spot on the ticket.

In the 2014 state election, two Liberal candidates (Mr Rich-Phillips and Ms Peulich), two ALP candidates Gavin Jennings and Adem Somyurek and Greens candidate Nina Springle were elected for the upper-house region.

underlying causes of their addiction.

“The safe injection centre, by taking people off the streets and get them talking to a social worker, is the best response to law and order.

“We’ve tried more CCTV, more police, increasing penalties for drug users ... these approaches haven’t worked.”

Councillor Susan Serey, who introduced the motion at an 18 April meeting, said Cranbourne had been mentioned in State Parliament as an illicit drug hotspot.

The suburb might be one of the first locations if “drug injecting rooms” were introduced, she said.

The injecting-room approach was “soft”, encouraged illicit drug use and drug trafficking and sent the “wrong message” to young people.

The issue was better tackled by more drug rehabilitation facilities, with Victoria well behind NSW’s 800 available beds, Cr Serey said.

The state inquiry into the safe-injecting room trial reports back in September.

It means that spots lower than number two on the Liberal ticket would be battling to be voted into State Parliament.

Ms Peulich has held the seat since 2006 after serving three terms as a state MP for the lower house seat of Bentleigh.

She is the opposition’s spokeswoman for multicultural affairs and scrutiny-of-government.

She and the other pre-selection candidates are unable to comment ahead of the 9 May pre-selection vote due to Liberal Party rules.

Voters in the secret ballot include Opposition Leader Matthew Guy, Liberal Party executive members, state council members and electoral-conference delegates.

On 22 April, Ms Peulich faced a mini-protest outside a Cranbourne branch meeting to select electoral-conference delegates for the pre-selection.

Three protesters held placards against “bullying

by MPs” and shared an exchange with Ms Peulich as she arrived to the meeting.

One of them was Judy Davis, a long-time Liberal member who says she quit the party because of “Inga”.

Ms Davis said she was troubled by Ms Peulich’s lack of support for fellow Liberal candidates Geoff Ablett and Amanda Stapledon during the 2014 state election.

In 2015, Cranbourne branch member Prasad Phillip made public allegations against Ms Peulich, which spilled into protests by Liberal members and legal action as well as into local, state and national newspapers.

Last year, Mr Phillip withdrew his allegations in an out-of-court settlement.

Extra police are on their way to Casey and Greater Dandenong.

Victoria Police and the State Government announced on Thursday 27 April that 50 officers were headed for the region from next month.

There’ll be 10 for Greater Dandenong, eight to the local CIU, one to divisional crime scene services and 31 to neighbouring Casey.

These officers are among the first 300 of 3135 frontline police being deployed over the next five years.

They’ve been allocated using a new Victoria Police model that identified the areas of greatest need.

Police Association secretary Sergeant Wayne Gatt said the deployment would have a positive impact on the ability of police to prevent and reduce crime.

“The Police Association has for some time advocated the urgent recruitment and deployment of additional police to these areas,” he said.

“We also acknowledge the level of consultation that’s taken place with the Police Association by government and Victoria Police in determining where the first 300 officers would be allocated.

“This shows a willingness to listen to what police on the ground are saying about where they are most stretched.”

Sergeant Gatt said the announcement marked the start of a long-term commitment to bring police resources back to levels where members could make real inroads in combating the ice epidemic, family violence and violent crime.

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said the allocations would put more police out on patrol to respond where and when needed.

“These extra police will greatly strengthen local police responses in those areas selected,” he said. “It’s important to stress that this is just the start. We have 2729 more police yet to be allocated across the state.”

Mr Ashton said Victorians would start to see the extra police in their communities from next month, with all 300 to be rolled out by April next year.

The Lion’s share of pride

In Brief Hunt after court no-show

By Casey Neill A Doveton stalwart has found new way to help the community - Lions.

Juan Carlos Loyola, better known as ‘Carlos’ around Casey, is the Lions Club of Endeavour Hills’ newest member.

He was sponsored by Lion Daniele Alexa and inducted by past district governor Ian Gration.

“I’ve been working on different things for the community, especially for mental illness and disabled people, for the past 25 years,” he said.

“Also I’ve been involved with White Ribbon and working with the Spanish community in the South East.

“Many people in the community need the Lions Club to help them.”

Mr Loyola gave the example of a mother with a disabled child having a hard time, under pressure from having to travel to the Royal Children’s Hospital.

“She struggled for different reasons and we are there for her,” he said.

“We supported some projects like research for cancer for kids.”

Mr Loyola said the club raised cash to support guide dog training and much more.

“We meet every second week and every time we’ve got new projects,” he said.

“I feel very grateful to be there.”

He said Lions had been around for more than 100 years.

Anzac Day

Anzac’s love letters unearthed

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A chance find in a set of drawers has unearthed an Anzac soldier’s 100-year-old letters to a woman he hoped would be his sweetheart.

Former Casey mayor Rob Wilson, of Narre Warren, has self-published more than 20 of the discovered letters and cards of Sergeant Dudley Wood in his book Lost Letters.

The World War I letters were written by Sgt Wood to Edie Talbett - the sister of his best mate Norman. More than a muse, she was also someone that Sgt Wood was keen upon.

“How many other young blokes over in the war had a girlfriend back home?” Mr Wilson said.

“And they hope against hope not only that they survive, but that they still have a girl if they get back.”

At 72, Mr Wilson, a keen family historian, had recently collated primary history into books about his Scottish-immigrant father and his triple-great-grandmother.

“I was excited that these letters written 100 years ago were now discovered 100 years later.

“I have a study full of history stuff.

“If I give all of that to one person, it will probably get thrown out, so I decided to put that history into a book.“ In this most recent collection, Sgt Wood’s letters reveal a “feisty” relationship with Edie. Ultimately, they both married other people.

He moved to the Tasmanian city of Launceston, had a family with an Irish nurse Martha Shannon who cared for him during the war, and worked as a dental technician.

On 2 January, 1917, he wrote - rather flippantly - to Edie that he lost his right leg just above the knee. The injury caused lingering pain and dashed his hopes of being a dentist.

“A bit of stiff luck but worse things happen at sea,” Sgt Wood wrote.

“Now take my advice, stick to your own legs.

Don’t go out for a walk and lose them as it is a painful thing, but if you give any cheek, I will be

There was then a break in Sgt Wood’s letters to Edie. He put it down to getting such a shock hearing that she was engaged.

“Allow me to congratulate you on having such a good fellow, but of course, it has been a great blow to me.

“I have had my eye on you for a long time now, but I have been too shy to pop the question and now it is too late.”

Sgt Wood was wounded during the AIF’s first landing in Gallipoli in April 1915.

According to an extract from Sgt Wood’s journal, he “got a bullet through my cap; then shrapnel took my rations; later a bullet bored a hole in my mess tin, and I was struck in five places by shrapnel.”

He convalesced from his wounds during a “holiday” in Malta in May, and wrote to Edie: “We got some hurry up the first day as we landed under fire and had to take every foot of ground while we had no artillery to back us up.

“You have no idea what it is like till you are there to see for yourself.

“You will hear all about things in the papers I suppose, so it is no good me telling you, but you get more excitement out of it than shooting at rabbits.”

He was awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal for conspicuous bravery.

On 20 August 1915, Sgt Wood solemnly wrote to his best friend Norman’s mother to offer his “deepest sympathy”.

He told her that Norman had died, minutes before he was due to be relieved of his post at Lone Pine, Gallipoli.

A photo of Norman’s grave “in sight of the sea on the first hill” at Gallipoli was taken by Sgt Wood and sent to the bereaved mother.

Norman and he had been among the first Australians to enlist for the war.

In reply to Edie, he writes in October about finding out about her late brother Norman’s demise.

“It broke me up for the rest of the day, and we have lost a good pal, but he is as well off as here, and one never knows whose turn it will be next, just as God wills.”

The letters were recently found among papers in a set of drawers by Edie Talbett’s grand-daughter, Patricia Greenwood-Smith.

She contacted Sgt Wood’s daughter-in-law Betty in Launceston, who in turn excitedly told her cousin - the book’s author Mr Wilson.

In his book, Mr Wilson has added letters written by Sgt Wood’s brother Vasey, who also fought in World War I where he was killed.

There are also letters, photos and biographies of Mr Wilson’s relatives who performed military service, including George Connelly Hazlett - a Boer War veteran and a World War I Lighthorseman who fought in the famous charge in Beersheba.

Mr Wilson has more family history projects on the go. For him it’s a race to get as much down in books before that history is cast away.

Mateship was forged in flame

By Casey Neill “The Queenslander saw and heard the loudest explosion he thinks he’s ever heard,” Jeff Casson told the Dandenong Anzac Day service.

“It shook the sweat from his brow, rattled his teeth and took the breath out of his chest.

“Amongst the blast was his brother, the young Victorian.”

The soldiers weren’t brothers by blood, but by mateship.

“The Queenslander instantly thought his young mate had been killed,” Jeff said.

“The Queenslander found his brother, slightly broken but seemingly alive.

“This happened to me on the 23rd of September in 2011.”

He was in Afghanistan with the 3/4 Cavalry Regiment.

He’d become mates - brothers - with Scott May and his brother Chris.

Scott had returned home. Chris was “engulfed by dust and fire” as a bomb blast tore apart his Bushmaster vehicle.

“I saw a 240 kilogram wheel station removed from the front of his vehicle and thrown down like toys by an angry child,” Jeff said.

“I saw and heard the bolts from the windscreen of his Bushmaster, which is approximately four inches thick, explode off.

“I could think nothing else but ‘how the f***

am I going to explain this to his mum and dad?’.”

The three ‘brothers’ eventually all came home.

Chris and Scott are founding members of support group Young Veterans.

“We all left pieces of ourselves in those places, be that in the streets of Baghdad or the villages and rolling dunes of Iraq, to the winding deserts in Afghanistan,” Jeff said.

“We were soldiers. We were doing a soldier’s job.

“We had to look out for each other, because that’s what soldiers do, that’s what brothers do, and that’s what mates do, most of importantly of all.”

Looking Back 100 years ago 3 May 1917 About People It is with deep regret we chronicle the death of Sergeant Arthur G Orgill of the 5th Pioneers who was killed in action in France on 11 April 1917 - an advice to that reached his relatives last week.

Deceased was a native of Dandenong, 28 years of age, and was highly respected.

To the bereaved ones we tender sincere sympathy in their bereavement, coming as it does only a few days after news was received of the death of his brother, Sgt Ernest A Orgill.

50 years ago 4 May 1967 Migrants in fight to capture thieves Two men, later convicted of shop-breaking, were fought and captured by three young mi-

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society grants after a shop-breaking in the heart of Dandenong last Thursday night.

In Dandenong Court later, chairman of the bench Mr T R Mayberry SM warmly commended the action of the migrants, a Pole, a Greek, and a Russian.

“You are all deserving of the highest compliment for the public spirit you have shown in apprehending these defendants and calling the police,” Mr Mayberry said.

It is likely that each of the men will receive a letter of commendation from the Police Commissioner Mr R H Arnold.

20 years ago 5 May 1997 War declared on drugs Springvale will establish Victoria’s first community-based drugs action group in a bid for a drug free city.

Calling for representatives on the ac-

tion committee, the head of Springvale CIB, Senior Sergeant Ian Wilool, said last Friday that the drug problem was the worst he had known.

“I’ve worked at Springvale since 1989 and I’ve never seen it (the drugs problem) as bad as this.”

He was speaking at a packed community forum at Greater Dandenong Council’s Springvale office.

Some of the ideas put forward by the audience for investigation by the committee were: •฀Surveillance cameras in problem areas; •฀Marked syringes to allow carelessly dumped needles to be traced to the supplier, such as needle exchange; •฀Legislating to make it an offence to leave a syringe in a public place or loitering for the purpose of drug dealing; •฀Introducing laws on which unemployed people suspected of dealing drugs found with large sums of money must explain

where they got it; and •฀Constructive after-school programs for secondary school students.

5 years ago 23 April 2012 The Red Letter Day of Hope It’s fear that is motivating Dandenong west parents Kaye and Peter Taylor to don red Tshirts and rally in Melbourne next Monday for a national disability insurance scheme.

Their 45-year-old dependent daughter Donna, all 28 kilograms of her, lives in a wheelchair.

She has cerebral palsy, a spine twisted by scoliosis, spastic quadriplegia and an intellectual disability.

Mr Taylor said he and his wife’s greatest fear was that Donna would be “put in an old people’s home” when he and his wife, both 68, could no longer took after her.

Pastries are fresh from the south

By Casey Neill

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL “We’ve got a lot of egg in the recipe, too, which is more rich in flavour.

“I love croissants, I love making croissants.

“On Saturdays I make maybe 200.

“The other main ingredient is the caramel.

“Ninety per cent of our products have caramel on it.”

He makes about 300 profiteroles each day, effortlessly piping a choux pastry that looks more like butter onto metre-long baking trays in elegant swirls.

“This recipe is nearly 600 grams of flour and

Jose Bevacqua removes a batch of profiteroles from the oven. 167699 1.2 kilograms of egg,” he said.

They’re a best seller and can feature savoury or sweet fillings.

Jose normally starts baking at 5am, and has help in the shop from his wife and daughter.

“It’s a family business,” he said.

When asked when he started baking, Jose said:

12350574-ACM18-17

Monica’s Cakes has been a Springvale South fixture for 25 years come December.

Jose Bevacqua took over baking duties from the retiring previous owner about three years ago.

“He also was the one to teach me,” he said.

“This is a little gem from South American in Melbourne.”

The Argentinian-born chef churns out hundreds of South American pastries every day.

“We make facturas. Facturas is like a Danish,” he said.

“In our culture we have facturas like a breakfast in the morning or in the afternoon with a coffee.”

Jose said the traditional Argentinian pastry recipes differed from their French equivalents.

“The French croissant is something very crispy, very airy,” he said.

“Ours is a little bit more dense.

“This is something that you learn when you’re a kid.

“I got the opportunity to learn from someone that was born in a bakery.”

He still makes his pastries and cakes the oldfashioned way, mixing doughs and batters by hand.

He’ll take the same approach to his next venture - ice cream.

“We make ice cream the very, very traditional way,” he said.

“We don’t use any premix.”

Opening Sundays is another plan on the horizon, along with expanding the shop area - in turn reducing the kitchen space - and adding chairs and a coffee machine.

“I’m looking not to move the shop but to move the production,” Jose said.

“Every two weeks or three weeks I have people from cafes asking ‘can you do this or supply this?’ and I have to say no.”

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Former City of Casey mayor Janet Halsall has successfully completed a 200km walking tour of the municipality and raised almost $30,000 for the Cancer Council.

Ms Halsall stopped at community events and fund-raisers in more than 20 suburbs in the City of Casey during her 10-day walking tour.

“It was so good to catch up with community groups during the walk, and the visits were an absolute highlight,” she said.

“People talked to me about their cancer experiences and when the going got tough for me, thinking about their experiences helped me to keep going.”

While Ms Halsall said the support from across all the communities of Casey was outstanding, she was particularly impressed with the Easter she spent with a local Afghan community.

“I would particularly like to thank the mem-

bers of the Afghan community who on Good Friday shared a traditional meal with me organised by Ishaq Sadath,” Ms Halsall said.

“They were so generous and supportive, and I was thrilled with their generosity and hospitality.”

“It was all about the cancer fund-raising and cancer research and about awareness raising which these sorts of interactions and conversations are so important for people with English as a second language.”

Ms Halsall said she also wanted to extend special thanks to councillor Amanda Stapledon who organised a number of the community events and Ms Halsall’s husband who supported her through her journey.

The fund-raising goal for the Casey Walk for a Cure is $30,000 and at the end of the walk Ms Halsall has raised $28,500.

Anyone who wishes to donate to the cause can do so via Ms Halsall’s Facebook page by searching “Casey Walk for a Cure.”

Former Casey Council mayor Janet Halsall has almost reached her funding goal but needs a little more help to get over the line. 167432 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

NEW HOMES & LAND

STUNNING NEW DISPLAY HOME - THE CLARE BY RAWDON HILL The Clare by Rawdon Hill wouldn’t look out of place in the rural landscape of Provence, France, or Long Island, New York.

In fact the facade of the stunning home is called The Hampton.

The elegant facade is an understated mix of weatherboard and render and features three stately molded pillars supporting the front verandah.

The elegant feel continues through to the wide entrance hall and the immaculate master bedroom which lies behind frosted double doors.

The master in the Platinum package includes feature wall panelling, large aluminium awning windows facing the street, plush carpet and an impressive

walk-in wardrobe.

The design also includes a stylish ensuite with double vanity, deep draws, stone bench tops, tiled shower base, tiled shower niche and back to wall toilet.

Dark timber floors throughout the main living areas contrast beautifully with the pale walls and cabinetry.

The French provincial-style kitchen and adjoining butler’s pantry are a stunning mix of chic elegance and functionality.

A feature mantel arches above the Smeg stainless-steel upright dual fuel cooker.

Stone re-constituted benchtops and panelled cabinet doors and internal plantation shutters add a feel of stylish glamour.

The kitchen flows to an open plan dining/ living area and through to the outdoor entertaining area.

Three further bedrooms, a theatre room, spacious laundry, family bathroom with free-standing bath, separate powder room and double garage complete the home.

Trying to select which inclusions to mention is difficult because of the extensive list on offer including ducted heating, nine-foot ceilings, evaporative cooling, LED downlights throughout, premium flooring including porcelain tiling and ducted vacuum.

Sales consultant Jillian Craig said it was a joy to watch buyers fall in love with The Clare.

“They love the Hampton look and the

spacious layout,” Ms Craig said.

“It is proving to be a very popular design.

“People walk in and say that it makes them feel relaxed and that it ticks all the boxes.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Skills will be hit by visa curb

By Casey Neill Changes to the skilled foreign worker visa system will hurt Greater Dandenong businesses, particularly manufacturers.

This was the message from South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) and Dandenong-based law firm Macpherson Kelley.

“I came over on a 457 visa,” SEMMA executive officer Adrian Boden revealed.

The Brit was employed as the vice president of engineering for PBR, now Chassis Brakes International, in 2004.

“I was coming from a multinational, European background with brakes,” he said.

“I think I brought something to the community which I wouldn’t have been able to do if I hadn’t stayed on afterwards.”

Mr Boden said he was still seeking more information about the changes and their impacts, but

“I can’t see the advantage of doing the two-year visa”.

The 457 visa previously allowed businesses to employ foreign workers for up to four years in skilled jobs where there was a shortage of Australian workers, with eligibility for Permanent Residency application after two years.

Under changes announced on Tuesday 18 April, the 457 system will be abolished and replaced with the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa in March next year.

TSS will include a short-term stream, for up to two years’ work, and a medium-term stream, for up to four years, plus safeguards to prioritise Australian workers and more targeted occupation lists.

The medium-term stream will include a permanent residence pathway after three years.

“I think it would be incredibly negative for the businesses in this area,” Mr Boden said.

“You won’t get a skilled overseas worker relocating for two years.

“We have lots of people who need skilled workers.”

Macpherson Kelley Victorian managing principal Jamie Sturgess said the firm assisted businesses with more than one 457 visa every week.

“There’s a whole host of issues that make recruiting from overseas more difficult than recruiting locally,” he said.

“If you could have an apple in Australia, you’d be stupid if you chose the foreign apple rather than the local apple.”

Mr Sturgess said production manager was one role that had been removed from the jobs list.

“Imagine if we could recruit the best production managers anywhere in the world for roles in Australia and then they teach everyone who works under them their absolute world’s best practice,” he said.

“Australia will become a better, stronger, wealthier country if we have more talent across the board.

“We should be saying to the world ‘this is the best country in the world to live in, and if you are an incredibly talented person that wants to come here and make this home for the rest of your life and contribute back to this community with your sensational skills, in a multitude of ways’ (you are welcome).

“We’re saying ‘no’, whereas I think we should be saying ‘yes’.”

In relation to manufacturing, Macpherson Kelley workplace relations principal Andrew Douglas said: “Australia is still fairly new to transformative value-added manufacturing and we just don’t have the skills base.

“We need to be able to attract the workers that will facilitate the transition like engineers, designers and others because we’re a small economy.”

Battle with weather means ‘super greenhouses’ are a growth industry A Hallam company is helping food growers to move indoors and keep growing.

Powerplants Australia director Carl van Loon said wild weather was putting more pressure on these producers than ever before.

“Lots more field growers are converting to semi-protected growers,” he said.

“That’s where we see quite a lot of growth in the industry.

“The weather’s not getting any easier to manage, it’s getting generally wilder.

“Farmers can handle a small change every year with temperature.

“What they can’t handle is the big storms that that brings.

“More and more we need to protect those growers from that.”

Powerplants creates automated greenhouse systems that include water and fertiliser delivery and recycling, climate control, harvesting aids and more.

Mr van Loon said farmers would usually have a couple of good years followed by two or three bad ones.

“Sometimes they’d go broke because they didn’t have enough good years in a row,” he said.

“We’re taking that risk out.”

Mr van Loon said vertical farming was becoming a more realistic option thanks to improvements in LED light technology.

“Every year they get a bit better and faster and cheaper,” he said.

“LEDs are one of the biggest parts of that whole vertical farming picture.

“In some places, it’s already a serious production system.”

Different coloured LED lights control how plants grow. Red promotes generative growing, encouraging the plant to flower and produce more fruit.

Blue encourages vegetative growth, producing more leaves.

“People are getting quite interested in controlling the plants,” Mr van Loon said.

It’s about fully-automated growing systems.

“You take all the guesswork out and turn it into a production process,” he said.

“With plants there are generally so many variables - weather, insects, disease ...

Powerplants Australia director Carl van Loon is trying to take the risk out of food growing.

“If you can make it into a totally predictable model, you can do it anywhere in the world.”

Powerplants was born in 1994.

“I was working for my dad and we had a plant nursery,” Mr van Loon said.

“I used to do all this technical work for him climate control systems and all that sort of stuff. I was self-taught.

“Whenever I was buying things, we were buying greenhouse equipment from chicken shed manufacturers.

“There wasn’t a proper horticulture industry.

“You were buying stuff from people who didn’t know anything about plants.”

He saw a niche and started the business with

his mum and brother. He’s since bought them out and expanded Powerplants.

“We used to just do equipment for nurseries, for greenhouses,” he said.

“Then the business grew and grew and the market changed.

“Now food production is the major part of the business.

“We design and install and service systems for growing food.”

He employs about 31 people, including engineers. The figure is down from a height of 44 over the past year due to “a bit of a recession”.

“There’s so much Dutch competition in Australia now,” he said.

“They’ve been having a terrible time over there so they’ve been coming over here more.

“It’s just starting to get busier in Europe again.”

So Mr van Loon is hopeful the tide will turn.

“We’ll always need to eat,” he said.

“People seem to be moving towards better and better quality and that’s what we’re all about - helping growers to produce really high quality crops without pesticides, without fungicides and sprays by giving the plants a really good climate.

“There really isn’t anyone else in Australia that can provide the servicing.

“We have some work overseas as well.

“We’re actively seeking more work overseas.”

Nissan moves out Nissan is moving its state headquarters out of Dandenong South. Commercial real estate agent CBRE confirmed it was marketing the 11.42 hectare site on Frankston-Dandenong Road that is home to Nissan’s corporate office and warehousing.

CBRE’s Stephen Adgemis said the area was starved of serviced development sites “as well as owner occupier options over five hectares”.

“With only 28 per cent of the site utilised in its current form, there is a huge opportunity to further capitalise on its position through value-add or expansion possibilities,” he said.

The property is being offered for sale via a public expressions of interest campaign that will close on Thursday 1 June. The Journal contact Nissan for comment but did not receive a response.

Other media outlets have reported that Nissan had outgrown the site and was looking to relocate elsewhere in the south-east.

SPORT Import brings home goal glory

By Nick Creely Brandon Barnes may just be the finest and most damaging striker in Victoria.

The numbers that the Dandenong Thunder superstar continues to churn out defy belief and raise questions of just how far he could go.

The 24-year-old Englishman only joined the Thunder last year, but already has 65 goals to his name, an average of nearly two a match.

His best hauls include an extraordinary eightgoal effort against Nunawading last year, something that made national headlines and is a current NPL Victoria record.

As a youngster, the powerful centre-forward spent time in Bristol City, Swindon Town and Southampton as part of their academies, giving him a taste of life as a professional footballer.

And Barnes is motivated on getting his chance at the next level and will never give up, and said that the only way to raise heads of A-League recruiters is to keep scoring goals and improving his overall game.

“When I got my 50th goal at the club in a pretty short of amount of time, it was actually quite overwhelming - hopefully I can keep fighting and back that up and maybe one day something might come my way,” he said.

“Hopefully, a few A-League clubs can look at me and think I have a lot of potential.

“Playing in Australia, anyone’s aim is to get to the A-League, the top-flight of Australian football, and I’ve got my eye on it and waiting for the chance, I guess.

“I just need to work a bit harder outside of football, I think, getting that extra bit fitter and, hopefully, a club could give me a go, and when-

Brandon Barnes during his eight-goal haul last year. ever they would be willing to call I’ll be ready.”

Just last week, Barnes’ life changed forever in a weekend he described as the greatest of his life.

Only a day after scoring the winning goal for the Thunder, Barnes welcomed his first child into the world.

“I was just over the moon and it has been re-

ally well received - we were at Brunswick the day before (22 April) and we got up 1-0 when I scored in the 70th minute, and the baby was born on the Sunday (23 April).

“It was the best weekend all-round, and the best gift anyone could have asked for.”

On-field, the Thunder is building steadily

Small screen is women basketballers’ big score

By Nick Creely It was a landmark day for the WNBL on Tuesday 25 April with Fox Sports and Basketball Australia announcing a new and exciting three-year partnership which puts women’s basketball back on television as of next season.

In what has been a deal pushed for several years, the arrangement will see a minimum of one game per week, plus every finals match, broadcast live in Fox Sports through to the 2019/20 season.

It’s going to be a new look 2017/18 season, with the competition running for 12 weeks from October through to January, culminating with a best of three Semi and Grand Final series.

Fox Sports CEO Patrick Delany was thrilled with the outcome, lauding the competition as one of the most elite competitions in Australia.

“The WNBL is the longest running elite female competition in the country. It features incredible athletes, who are strong and fierce competitors,” he said.

“For too long the league has been invisible with no broadcast partner. “(It) will ensure that fans around the country will be able to watch these athletes live in action.

“This isn’t just another broadcast deal - it’s a partnership. We are invested in making a difference, and putting women’s basketball in this country back on the map.”

WNBL head Sally Phillips was ecstatic that the WNBL is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

“We are thrilled to be entering into this partnership with Fox Sports,” she said.

“As someone who has been involved with the WNBL as a player and administrator over the past 27 years, this announcement is truly amazing.

“I love this game and I am so excited that our clubs and out athletes will be back in the spotlight receiving the recognition and respect they deserve.”

Although the finer details, such as scheduling between Fox Sports and Basketball Australia need to be worked out, it is expected that everything will be finalised in time for the opening game in six months’ time.

into the season and sits comfortably inside the top four after Giuseppe Anastasi suddenly quit as coach due to personal reasons.

Barnes admitted that the departure rocked the club initially and put himself behind personally, but praised the club for bouncing back quickly under the replacement coach Gianfranco Impellizzeri.

“There was obviously a bit of a hic-cup with the coach before the season which probably put us a few weeks behind as a team, but then Gianfranco came in and we are now on the same page and ready to go every weekend,” he said.

“It took us a while to gel as a team, for sure.

“We started the season slowly and I had a little injury so was a little bit behind - but I got back on track and on the same fitness level as the other boys.”

With rumours rife that the Dandenong-Casey area are a legitimate chance of obtaining an ALeague licence, Barnes welcomed the idea and said that the region is the best fit for the expansion of the competition.

“There have obviously been the rumours of having another A-League side, and Dandenong could well be the one,” he said.

“If they tick all the criteria and get that licence, I’ll be banging on their door and try and be a part of it.

“Around this area, football is constantly getting bigger and bigger - that’s why I reckon the A-League licence could sway towards this area, just because of how many clubs are in the area - it would bring a lot of youth and a lot positive things to the area.”

Lightning bolt from the blue

By Nick Creely The Dandenong Rangers have been dealt a bitter blow in their quest to go one better in 2017/18 with co-captain Aimee Clydesdale signing a two-year deal with Adelaide Lightning.

The 23-year-old has been a Dandenong junior for over a decade and also represented Australia at Under-19 level, and played 119 games in the WNBL for the Rangers, averaging 8 points per game across a strong career.

And in 2016/17 Clydesdale shone and led the Rangers to a grand final as captain while also having a strong playing impact on-court, averaging 7.9 points a game, 2.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists.

But it was her leadership that stood out the most, something her new club is well aware of.

“Aimie has committed to the program for two years, which we see as a major asset to the club culture we are beginning to create,” Lightning coach Chris Lucas said in a statement.

“Aimie is a very mature player who shows natural leadership traits which is vital for us at the point position.

“She is a high quality individual whose game will continue to grow and is someone I look forward to working with.

“I am very excited to have her as part of our program.”

And Dandenong rising star Lauren Scherf has defected to rival Canberra Capitals in what is another stinging loss, but the team will be bolstered by the signing of Perth star Carley Mijovic, who spent time at the Rangers in 2012/13.

Mijovic is currently playing in the SEABL with the Frankston Blues.

The Rangers are expected to announce a few major signings in the coming months.

The Dandenong Rangers will officially be on television screens as of next season. 165294 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS 31 DANDENONG JOURNAL 29 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 1 May, 2017

Late charge gets the Borough across the line

By Nick Creely JOURNAL FOOTBALL REVIEW SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIV 2 - ROUND 4 Keysborough 13.8 (86) has ground out a gritty 21-point victory over Murrumbeena 9.10 (64) in front of a healthy home crowd.

It required another strong last-quarter effort for the Borough to lift their record to 2-1, after looking shot midway through the third-term.

In what was an even and tough contest throughout the game, Murrumbeena got the break in the third quarter to take a three-goal lead, before the Borough’s, inspired by star player Riet Pal, and debutant Bryce Dexter, wrestled back the momentum and stormed home in a four goal to nil last-term.

“We had seven changes from last game - Riet Pal was simply amazing and tore the game to shreds,” Boroughs coach Matt Ferguson said.

“Our backs were really, really strong all day we had a lot of guys stand up that usually aren’t among our best players too. We got three-goals down in the third-quarter and then to fight back is a good sign. We’re running out games really well and coming home strong - it’s a real positive for our club.”

Springvale Districts had the bye over the weekend. The Boroughs take on Caufield next week at home, in a game where they will look to break inside the top-four.

DIV 3 - ROUND 3 The competiveness of the competition needs to come into question after yet another round of thrashings.

Only one game was under 50-points in what is becoming a worrying trend.

Sandown Cobras 5.2 (31) have once again been annihilated, this time at the hands of Carrum Patterson Lakes 21.15 (141), who were simply too slick, skillful and strong for the opposition.

The Cobras were competitive early, snagging a first-term goal and keeping the visitors to just 3.3, but from there they were blown away by Jarrod Kennedy, who kicked an impressive six-goal-haul.

Lyndhurst 19.14 (128) did what they needed to do against Dandenong 3.7(25), who took until the third-quarter to register a major.

The Redlegs, who are seriously struggling to remain competitive, must find a way to stay in the contest for longer.

A terrific six-goals to former Melbourne star Russell Robertson has lifted Doveton Eagles 17.13 (115) to a resounding win over Endeavour Hills 8.4 (52).

The game was still up for grabs at three-quarter-time, before the Eagles pulled away with a sixgoal last-quarter.

Hallam 15.9 (99) has officially announced itself as the team to beat, powering past a competitive Lyndale 5.8 (38).

Hawks’ forward Shane Thomas snagged five goals to take his overall season tally to 10.

In other games, Ashwood 20.13 (133) thrashed Moorabbin 6.13 (49) and South Yarra 10.13 (73)

overcame a fierce challenge from Black Rock 9.8 (62).

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIV 1 - ROUND 3 Noble Park 12.15 (87) has moved to 3-0 and looking primed in 2017, after an untroubled 28-point win over East Ringwood 9.5 (59).

The Bulls, off the back of impressive performances by Brett Dore, Kyle Martin, Tim Kelly and Cosi Anagnostou rode off a challenge in the second-quarter to pull away in a six-goal to four last-half.

Tim Harper (three goals) was once again impressive in attack and continues to thrive, while James Gwilt was steady down back.

Meanwhile, Rowville 12.6 (78) held off Montrose 10.11 (71) in an early season classic, with the

Hawks just pipping the plucky visitors at Seebeck Oval.

Tough, fierce and skillful football treated the crowd down at Rowville, with both sides giving everything to get the four-points.

There was plenty to like for the Hawks, notably Alex Frawley, who was stellar around the ground in a best-afield performance, while Lachlan McDonald (three goals) continued his form and Steven Georgious showed his immense class.

Noble Park host Blackburn at home next Saturday, while Rowville will travel to Vermont in what is set to be a highly-anticipated clash.

Doves plucked by the Eagles

By David Nagel Doveton has failed in its first big test under new coach Aaron Davey with a 26-point loss to Cranbourne in the South East Football Netball League match of the day at Robinson Oval.

The Doves matched motors with the reigning champs until three quarter time, but a 6.2 to 2.1 final term silenced the large home crowd in attendance.

Livewire Doveton forwards Michael Henry and Nick Battle kicked the only two goals of the opening term, capitalising on the great work of ruckman Russell Gabriel and an intense brand of footy around the stoppages.

“Our attitude is brilliant boys, our pressure is up and they’re fumbling, we’ve really come to play, but it means nothing if we don’t bring it again,” Davey said.

Davey moved full-forward Taylor Joyce out to centre half forward in an attempt to drag Cranbourne’s best defender Brandon Osborne out of the goal-square. Osborne has been the pre-eminent defender in SEFNL for the last seven years and added a goal-less Joyce to his long-list of battles won.

Goals to Troy Tharle, Shaun Marusic and Keenan Hughes saw the Eagles take an eight-point lead, 3.5 to 2.3, into half time.

The tempo lifted in the second half, the Doves kicking four goals to three in the third term to trail by a point at the final change.

Cranbourne coach Simon Goosey almost knew what was about to happen.

“We spoke at half time about paying the price and this is where we need to dig deep and give everything,” Goosey roared.

“I know we’ve got the run in the legs, but if they get a good start don’t drop your heads.”

How prophetic those words would prove to be with the Doves taking the lead through Battle, just 18 seconds in, before the Eagles took command.

They kicked five on the trot to run away with the contest. Khaled ‘Cyril’ Kandakji kicked two including a goal-of-the-year contender from directly in front of the Doveton members. Cyril brought back memories of Peter Daicos with a magnificent dribble kick from the boundary while running at full tilt.

Marusic, Osborne and Tharle were outstanding for the winners while Gabriel and Henry scored top marks for the Doves.

In other games, Hampton Park went down to Officer by 92 points; Beaconsfield scored a 72-point win over Pakenham, while Narre Warren bounced back to the winners list with an eight-goal victory over Tooradin. Berwick had the bye.

Stingrays reign supreme as Cannons fail to fire

By Nick Creely Dandenong Stingrays proved a class above the Calder Cannons on Sunday in a relatively onesided affair at Shepley Oval.

The final margin, 38-points, was probably not a true reflection of the dominance the Rays had for three-quarters, but a five-goal surge from the Cannons in the last 15 minutes of the last-quarter significantly trimmed the win.

With as many as eight of their regular stars missing, including skipper Oscar Clavarino, Bailey Morrish, Mitchell Riordan and Luke Davies, it was always going to be a tough challenge even against the struggling Cannons.

But the Rays started like a house-on-fire, with Riley D’Arcy slamming the opening goal in the first few minutes of the match, before controlling proceedings to take a 32-point lead into the firstbreak.

side of the contest, and punishing the faltering Cannons on turnover.

D’Arcy, who kicked three opening term goals, was a handful with his aerial presence and ability to use his athleticism.

It seemed the momentum couldn’t possibly be halted when the Rays put two quick goals on the board to start the second, but their almost 50-point lead was slashed with a couple of late Cannon goals to reduce the margin back to 40 at the major-break.

With a slight lull in the Rays’ goal-kicking spree, a few strong passages in the third-quarter ensured they would take a 48-point lead with a quarter left to play.

Mitch Cotter, Darcy Hope, Dylan Morris, Hunter Clark and Mason De Wit found their share of the footy in a somewhat subdued quarter for the Rays, but the Cannons were more industrious at the contest, kicking 2.2 to the Rays 3.4.

When the Rays skipped out to a 60-point lead, it seemed 100 points was not outside the realms of

possibility, but the Cannons fought admirably to gain respect on the scoreboard, and put together their most impressive 15 minutes of the game, slamming on five unanswered goals to leave them with a six-goal loss.

D’Arcy, was arguably the difference between the two sides with an imposing five-goal-haul, and is surely now among the names on every AFL recruiters watch-list.

He, along with a host of youngsters such as Dylan Hope, carried the flag despite the loss of leaders and their AFL Academy representatives to run the Cannons’ midfielders ragged.

The Rays now have a 3-2 record, and face a big test at Preston City Oval next Sunday against Northern Knights.

The Cannons remain winless and down at the bottom-of-the-ladder.

Ray of hope for young Stingers

Nine Dandenong Stingrays girls have been selected in the Vic Country squad. 166487 Isabella Shannon, 15, 175cm: “Young talented backline player but played in midfield last game of the season and kicked two goals. Her run and clearance in the backline was outstanding.”

Brooke Struylaart, 16, 164cm: “Traditional forward line player who has the potential to play down back . Is a skilful player with a fantastic kicking style.”

The Stingrays, along with the Murray Bushrangers, featured the most representatives, in what is a major positive for the south-east area.

Geelong Falcons and GWV Rebels each have five players in the squad, Gippsland Power has four and Bendigo Pioneers have three.

The first-round will be played at Simonds Stadium in Geelong on 17 June, and will then continue a month later on the Gold Coast from 10

It’s as simple as one-two for Dapiran’s smart duo Peter Dapiran’s evening was short but sweet as his only two greyhounds engaged, Sarah Swift and In A Spin, ran the quinella in the fourth race at Sandown Park on Thursday.

Sarah Swift showed her customary early dash while In A Spin was slow to begin and settled midfield. In A Spin stormed home however, falling short by a half-length to Sarah Swift in 29.96.

“I expected them to go well though I thought the result might have been the other way around,” Dapiran said.

“It’s not the first time it’s happened - you always need luck and fortunately we got a bit of it last night,” he said modestly.

The pair is a part of just seven racing greyhounds in Dapiran’s Northwood kennel. Of the duo, Dapiran is most excited about In A Spin who is starting to live up to connection’s expectations.

“He’s only a young dog and still learning,” he said.

“He broke in sensationally in Queensland and his owners sent him down with big wraps. He went a little bit wayward during pre-training but

Sarah Swift holds off kennel-mate In A Spin at Sandown Park on Thursday night. he’s back now with a bit of confidence. He hasn’t had a lot of luck so far in his career, but now he’s starting to work out how to race.”

Sarah Swift’s win was the 13th of her 39 start career. It followed a luckless trip to Albion Park last week for heats of the Bogie Leigh Futurity.

“We took her to Brisbane last week and unfortunately she found some interference around the first turn and didn’t get a go at them,” Dapiran said.

Dapiran is open to entering Sarah Swift in next month’s Sapphire Crown series though says the decision is yet to be made.

“She’s going well enough to have a go. I’ll have to speak to the owner.”

Last night’s racing was also highlighted by three staying events with many greyhounds deep in preparation for next month’s RSN Sandown Cup. Dundee Calypso the most impressive of the winners last night, going past Fanta Bale in the closing stages to prevail in good time.

The initial squads for the 2017 AFL Under 18 Women’s Championships have been released, with a whopping nine Dandenong Stingrays selected for Vic Country representation.

Headlining the act is inaugural TAC Cup Girls best-and-fairest winner Bridie Kennedy, who shone for the Rays this year in a brilliant individual season and is a chance to be named captain.

Scott Gowans will lead the Vic Country side for the second year running with a more experienced group than disappointed last year with eight AFL Academy players featuring in the squad.

Stingrays’ coach Dee Longwill provides an insight into each of the Stingrays selected in the squad: Jordyn Allen, 16, 173cm: “Experienced and very skilful around the backline but can play any position around the ground. She works hard to improve and is a role model to her peers.”

Ruby Clayton, 17, 162cm: “A strong forward line player with a long kick and a fierce player who wants to improve.”

Georgia Gee, 17, 157cm: “Her experience and knowledge of the game is amazing. Is footy smart, and her direction and positioning is outstanding.”

Courtney Jones, 16, 164cm: “Natural talent, loves to kick a goal or two, works hard and always wants to improve and learn from her peers and role models.”

Bridie Kennedy, 17, 172cm: “Played mainly in the ruck, but had chances as a ruck rover. Was up for the challenge as we didn’t have many talls. Is a fantastic leader and role model for all young talent coming through.”

Sophie Phillips, 17, 163cm: “Strong tackler and hard at the ball and always encouraging her teammates.”

Samantha Ryan, 17, 170cm: “Natural talent, strong overhead and a massive kick.”
