New screen shows club’s got scores on the board By Casey Neill The Endeavour Hills Cricket Club will have a new scoreboard by January. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams announced on 10 October that the club would receive nearly $40,000 for the new Sydney Pargeter Reserve feature. It will include an LED screen, making it easier for the Eagles to keep track of runs on the board and reduce the burden on volunteers. In July, the Journal News reported that Ms Williams spoke about the project in Parliament on 7 June. She asked Sports Minister John Eren to “approve funding for improvements to the facilities and infrastructure of the Endeavour Hills Cricket Club”. “Their facilities are used by people of all cultures and backgrounds, and the club actively fosters a friendly and welcoming atmosphere,” Ms Williams told Parliament. “We know that local sporting clubs strengthen individuals and strengthen our communities. “They are places where people from all walks of life come together to share a mutual love of the game. “In a highly multicultural electorate like Dandenong, it is clear that sporting clubs provide a connection between cultures, ages and sexes, offering an inclusive and constructive social outlet.” The Endeavour Hills Cricket Club is in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association (VSDCA), the second-tier turf cricket competition in Victoria. It has 15 teams across juniors and seniors, and
Endeavour Hills Cricket Club vice president Tom Hollis with his son Lachlan and Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams. runs a Milo In2Cricket program. Vice president Tom Hollis said the scoreboard was going to be a great plus for the club. “That is going to be positioned on our main cricket ground, for the seniors,” he said. Mr Hollis said the club hoped the new scoreboard plus a surface upgrade would attract new players. “The demographics of our area, we’re probably a little bit challenged,” he said.
In Brief Five to answer charges Five boys will answer charges over two violent alleged attacks in Dandenong’s Palm Plaza. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Craig West said the first alleged victim was a 41-year-old man. He was walking through the McCrae Street shopping mall on Monday 2 October when it’s alleged that five boys of African appearance struck him with a piece of wood, punched and kicked him unconscious and stole his wallet. He alleged the gang struck again about 4.20pm on Thursday 5 October. A man was leaving the public toilet when five boys allegedly approached and demanded his wallet and money. He said that when the victim refused, the group produced a knife and a piece of wood and struck him several times. He alleged they also punched and kicked the man, who attended Dandenong Hospital for treatment. Two Dandenong boys, aged 12 and 15, a boy from Dandenong South, 13, and two boys from Endeavour Hills, aged 13 and 15 have been charged and bailed to appear at a children’s court on deception, armed robbery and assault charges.
Cops on trail of bandits
“The time commitment to cricket these days seems a bit hard for people, so we are battling a bit with our playing numbers. “We are down across the board, both juniors and seniors. “I think it’s just reflective of the amount of time people have in their lives. “We’re trying to be a bit more involved in the community to ensure everyone knows that we’re here.”
Police hope CCTV footage will identify two violent bandits who struck in Noble Park. Greater Dandenong CIU detectives said a man was walking home from Noble Park railway station along Joy Parade about 11.25pm on Saturday 19 August. Two men, described as African in appearance, approached him from behind, demanded money, pushed him to the ground, assaulted Police are searching him and stole his wal- for this man. let.

The second was wearing a blue/green jacket and was also aged between 16 and 22.

Eddie Maguire and Gerry Ryan are bringing a $10 million brewery to Dandenong South. Greater Dandenong Council gave the green light to the project at 16 Jayco Drive at the Monday 9 October council meeting. Jayco founder Mr Ryan watched on in the gallery. He later told the Journal that a few other local people were involved in the commercial brewery, as well as Maha chef Shane Delia and Colling-
wood Football Club president Maguire. “The beer will be flowing by April,” Mr Ryan said. It’ll be known as Brick Lane in a nod to the London brewery street and Melbourne’s laneways. “What we’re doing is a tasting room there as well and some function space,” he said. “Today breweries are very popular places to visit so we’re offering a range of food as well. “It’s a very exciting project. “We’ve already got some international contracts to export beer. “We want it to be one of Dandenong’s local 12368026-ACM42-17

A man exposed himself to an 18-year-old woman on a bus in Springvale, police allege. Transit Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance following the 28 August incident.

Police said the man who was sitting opposite the woman started rubbing himself inappropriately and exposed himself to her before exiting the bus near Harold Street in Springvale South. The man is perceived to be Indian in appearance and aged in his early thirties, with a medium build, dark hair and light beard. He was wearing a striped top with dark-coloured denim jeans and was carrying a black backpack.

Old favourite gets a fresh look From next week readers of the Journal News will notice a few changes in their local paper. Monday’s edition will have a new modern masthead and will be known as the Endeavour Hills, Hallam and Doveton Star Journal. The Journal News’ sister paper, the Dandenong Journal, will also have a masthead makeover and be known as the Dandenong Star Journal. Inside readers will notice a fresh, open style. The new masthead is an acknowledgement of the paper’s rich past as well as its future in print and digital under the umbrella of parent company Star News Group.
Star News Group is a family owned independent news company which publishes a suite of newspapers and magazines with linked websites including the Berwick News, the Pakenham Berwick Gazette and the Cranbourne News, making it the dominant media company in the South-East. Managing director Paul Thomas, the fourth generation of his family to run the business, said
the masthead changes reflected the strength of the Star News Group brand in the South-East. He assured readers that the Star Journal’s dedication to quality community journalism would continue as it had for 152 years. “This is part of the Star Journal’s evolution in an ever-changing media market,” Mr Thomas said. “This is the start of a number of exciting initiatives that will benefit both advertisers and readers. “I hope readers enjoy this special edition and continue to access the Star Journal on a variety of
platforms as their voice of the community.” The printed edition of the Endeavour Hills, Hallam and Doveton Star Journal will be published every Monday. News stories are posted daily to the Star Journal website. And visit dandenong.starcommunity.com.au to see the Journal’s online interactive reveal of new and old Dandenong to go with this special publication.

Dandy Journal was one of the first with the news The Dandenong Journal is one of Australia’s oldest newspapers. It was founded in 1865 by Irish immigrant Harvey Roulston. Mr Roulston had learned the newspaper game as an apprentice compositor on the Londonderry Sentinel. After arriving in Melbourne in 1853 he found work at the Melbourne Argus. Twelve years later Mr Roulston was his own boss when in August 1865 the first edition of The South Bourke and Mornington Journal rolled off his press in Richmond. The newspaper’s link with the Roulston family would last for more than 70 years. By 1875 Mr Roulston was feeling threatened enough by the Sword brothers who had launched a rival newspaper, the Dandenong Advertiser, the year before that he moved the Journal to a building in Walker Street, Dandenong. At that time the Journal covered an enormous geographical area and presented readers with news from Hawthorn, Boroondara, Templestowe, Nunawading, Berwick, Brandy Creek, Oakleigh, Moorabbin, Cheltenham and Frankston. Tragically, early copies of the Journal were destroyed by a devastating fire in the paper’s printing works in 1876 and the oldest existing edition is from 10 January 1877. As was the custom in those days, the front page of that edition was devoted entirely to ad-
vertisements for, among other things, Dunbar’s Hotel in Dandenong, the Dandenong branch of the Commercial Bank of Australia and A. Griffith Shoe and General Blacksmith. Inside the newspaper carried advertisements for ‘Clarke’s world famed blood mixture’ which promised to cure a litany of ailments such as ‘ulcerated sores on the neck, blackheads or pimples on the face, scurvy sores and cancerous ulcers’ and Baker’s perplexing sounding ‘Anthelmintic nuts, or children’s worm cakes’. Harvey Roulston had six children, all of whom were involved with the Journal at various times. In 1892 he transferred ownership to his two spinster daughters, Lilias and Florence, with his youngest child, William Fenton Roulston, as printer and publisher. On 14 February 1896 Harvey Roulston died suddenly at his home in Pultney Street of “exhaustion following upon anasarca”. He was 68. His obituary in the Journal noted that “his last illness was a somewhat brief one, heart trouble tending to accelerate his end, which was of peaceful character”. “For a period of 30 years the deceased was closely identified with the affairs of this and the surrounding districts, but during the last few years of his life, did not take an active part in business matters.” Harvey Roulston’s remains were interred in

Dandenong Cemetery. By 1900 the Journal had moved to “more commodious premises in Scott Street” and by then the Journal was printed on Dawon Wharfedale press. In 1910 the paper had expanded to six pages and proudly called itself the “best and largest penny paper in the district”. The newspaper continued to evolve and between March 1926 and August 1927 changed its masthead and became known as the Dandenong Journal. When Harvey’s son Bill Roulston died in 1938 the Roulston family’s connection with the paper ended and ownership passed to William Bennett.

band, George McKinnon, worked at the brickworks. George, who had grown up on a property on Frankston Road, was a farmer before joining the Ordish workforce. “He used to come home pretty dirty,” remembered Dorothy, who has lived in Dandenong for her entire 90 years. “He would ride his bike to work from Heatherton Road.” Dorothy remembers George enjoyed his job
operating machinery at Ordish and was sad to leave. He later became a gardener at the crematorium. Fellow resident Robert Kett and his wife Gwynne put together a short history of the Ordish Firebrick Company, which hangs framed in a room off the reception foyer. “It’s great for residents to know the history of the place and what was here before our lovely retirement village,” Cynthia said.
The Oridsh Fire Brick Company, circa 1900. The brick chimney was demolished in May 1984. The large tract of land was purchased by the developers of Valley Village Mews. The first residents moved into their new homes in December 1986. Today the village comprises 148 units and the former quarry is now a caravan park, tennis courts, bocce court and vegetable garden.

Visitors to Valley Village Mews often look quizzically at manager Cynthia Mack and ask her about the two loose pale bricks in the foyer of the Dandenong retirement village. “People say ‘why do you have those bricks here?’ I say because they’re special,” Cynthia said. The bricks are a link the village’s past, which was constructed on the site of the old Ordish Firebrick Company. William Percival Ordish was one of Dandenong’s pioneering business identities. When he died in 1930, a newspaper obituary paid tribute, “Mr Ordish, who lived at Dandenong, set out one day with a barrow and a shovel to prospect for clay. “In what was then a large open paddock on Stud Road, he found that for which he sought, and the digging of that first barrow load of clay laid the foundation stone of what was destined to become a flourishing business. “From humble beginnings in the early 1890s, the business flourished when Mr Ordish secured a contract to supply bricks to the Victorian Railways. It eventually became the best known firebrick manufacturer in Victoria. “No traveller along Stud Road has passed without being impressed by the great line of kilns which have grown upon that spot where a young man delved for his first barrow load of clay.” The Ordish Fire Brick Company became a family business, with William’s son Rowland and then grandson Joseph also among the Ordishes to work there. Rowland had two sons Thomas and Joseph. Tragically, their mother died when the boys were very young and the siblings were separated. Joe attended Dandenong Primary School. He worked in the family business before volunteering for World War I serving on the Western Front in France and Belgium. William Ordish sold his business in 1922 but the works continued production until 1975.

Bible is testament to family’s history By Helen Velissaris
12367747-ACM42-17
Tucked away in a filing cabinet in a Dandenong op shop lay a valuable piece of Ballarat history. A family Bible printed in 1860 somehow turned up at the Dandenong Benevolent Society without any clues as to how or why it got there. “I just found it in a filing cabinet, just stuffed away,” society volunteer co-ordinator Laura Andrew said. Members of the Springvale Learning and Activities Centre moved into the benevolent society premises in late 2016 and were cleaning up the place for renovations before reopening. “No one took much interest of it because the paper was ripped and it was just shoved underneath piles and piles of things,” Ms Andrew said. As her eyes scanned over the handwritten notes inside, her interest was piqued. “I realised this book has something to say but I don’t know where, who or what that was,” she said. Having worked for the Dandenong Historical Society before, Laura knew how to spot items of significance. While an old Bible might not be so interesting, the hand written notes in the front of the book gave it a special edge. They detailed major moments in the lives of its Ballarat owners, George and Mary Ellen Rand. They got married in 1858, had their first child, Ellen Jane Rand, a year later then three more children followed. The last child, Annie Mary Rand, sadly only lived for a year but her name was included in the Bible, keeping her memory alive. Dandenong Historical Society’s Jenny Ferguson was shocked at the detail and condition of the Bible and helped the ladies from the Benevolent society make some inquires. They soon found out that members of the Rand family were notable drapers and outfitters and had a number of shops in the mid-1800s. Their warehouse on Main Street actually phys-

Laura Andrew, Dandenong and District Historical Society secretary Jenny Ferguson and Elena Sheldon discuss the old Bible. 173590 ically collapsed because of mining underneath the building, as noted in the Ballarat Star of 25 March 1865. “Even while the workmen were engaged in removing the goods the building could be seen yielding by the crack of some portions of the window frames,” the article read. Normally not interested in family Bibles, the Ballarat Gold Museum agreed to take it in for the Rand connection. “This is how people used to record their family history,” Ms Ferguson said.
“The Bible would have been a very important part of their everyday life.” The next challenge is getting the Bible up to Ballarat, she said. Some might not be so happy to see it returned home. Laura said the Bible has had its ‘admirers’. “It caused a lot of interest. One particular guy hasn’t stopped. Every week he comes in to see if the Bible has returned,” Laura said. Manager of the Springvale Learning and Activity Centre Elena Sheldon was tempted to put

But knowing the history of the item, she knew it needed to be properly looked after and returned to its owners. What still remains unknown is how the Bible got to the op shop in the first place. Ms Sheldon and the team are hoping someone might know more about its Dandenong story to complete the puzzle.

Newspaper preservation project will keep decaying pages stored safely By Narelle Coulter Work for the Dole participants are learning vital job skills while helping to preserve old editions of the Dandenong Journal. Since the mid-2000s the massive project of digitising the Dandenong Journal has been underway. The project was instigated by the Dandenong and District Historical Society, which has a large collection of Journals dating back to the 1800s. Today the task is being managed by Avocare from its head office Dandenong South. Each week up to 50 Work for the Dole participants methodically upload information to a specially designed Heritage Wiki. The project is supervised by Cris Yanez. “The Dandenong and District Historical Society were the drivers of this,” Mr Yanez said. “They have the original Dandenong Journals dating way back - they’re all yellow, decaying and falling apart. “That was where it came from to digitally preserve those newspapers.” He said in the process of preserving the Journal, participants learnt skills such as typing, image manipulation, formatting and web layout. “Image files are processed using the GIMP image editor to remove scanning artefacts and are then compressed as lossless as possible into PNG web ready image files,” he said. The PNG image files are then uploaded into the Historical Heritage Wiki. “The uploaded newspaper images are then transcribed to populate the newly created Wiki pages. The Wiki pages are finally formatted to make the pages web ready/presentable. “Essentially, what we have is an online encyclopaedia of the Dandenong Journal separated by year, month and week.” The years 1958 to 1961 are on the Wiki, which is currently accessible by the DDHS upon request. With no end date, the project will hopefully continue until the entire Journal collection is online. Avocare founder and managing director Trish Keilty said the Journal activity was popular with job seekers, many of whom went on to find posi-

Ms Keilty said figures compiled by the Salvation Army put the return to work rate from the project at between 45 and 55 per cent. Mr Yanez
said progress had accelerated since the number of participants had expanded recently from 20 to 50. “I’m putting up new editions almost every day now where as I used to do it once a week.” Mr Yanez said participants enjoyed reading the stories in the old Journals, some discovering family connections. “They often remark to me about stories they have read in there. I’ve even had participants read about family members, one came across their grandfather’s obituary, for example.”
Ms Keilty encouraged employers to look at the work being done at Avocare. “I thank past participants for work they did and past supervisors and it’s a project that as long as Avocare is around we will be going forward with it,” Ms Keilty said. “We’d like employers to come and see what we do and maybe take some of our participants. “They are well trained, they are disciplined and they’ve got the right attitude. “If we can get them back to work everyone wins,” Mr Yanez added.

Still showing off its growing success This year marks 50 years since the Dandenong Show made its monumental move to Greaves Reserve. Its previous homes, both of which it outgrew, were the Dandenong Market site, which hosted the show from 1872 to 1907, and the Clow Street Market reserve, where it remained until 1966. The year 1967 saw the first show held at Greaves Reserve, which was named after the late William Greaves who donated a portion of the land. With 4175 entries and a gate total $4234, the show was a record breaker. A fixture of the Dandenong Show for more than 60 years, John Follett has seen the show develop into the event that is known and loved today. Having attended the show since his days in the pram, John has held a number of positions since joining the committee in 1971, including presidency in 1981, 2002 and 2003, as well as serving on various sub-committees. A safety committee member since 2000, John has been security chairman for more than 20 years and the grounds committee chairman since 2015. “I was elected to the committee in 1971 which was the year my father was president,” John said. “But I had a lot of involvement with show before that ... mainly with organising the show. But when we first went to Greaves Reserve my work was sitting on a tractor seat - pulling competitors in and out because the reserve land hadn’t been developed so there weren’t many solid tracks around the reserve to take horse floats and so forth.” Prior to the show’s move to Greaves Reserve, John admitted that the Clow Street Market reserve was “fairly cramped”. However, the relocation meant the show increased in space from “10 to about 40 acres”. In the years since, the reserve’s development has continued exponentially by way of erecting ground amenities, construction of exhibitions, sheep, poultry pavilions and cattle tie-up rails, the addition of arena fencing, galvanized seating around the arena and the installation of power, as well as the construction of an administration building, lighting towers, and the completion of

“We’ve endeavoured not to allow the show to become too commercialised - we can work on the back of a comment that was made at the Melbourne Show - that we aim bring the country to the city,” John said.
“But the show has got to where it is today through the volunteers - the dedication of the people, as well as the effort and time they put in.” This year’s show will be held on 11 and 12 November.

Dandenong’s vast history is being carefully preserved thanks to a dedicated band of volunteers at the Dandenong and District Historical Society. Each Wednesday a handful of volunteers gather at the society’s rooms in the former municipal building in Clow Street. They index and digitally store photographs, documents and ephemera, they answer heritage inquiries from individuals, businesses and local government, and publish a twice-yearly magazine called Gipps-Land Gate. The society occasionally publishes books and hosts exhibitions including an annual exhibition at the Dandenong Show. It was a letter to the Dandenong Journal from
reader Susan Perham on 3 April 1963 that led to the formation of the DDHS. Ms Perham wrote to the editor urging the local community to record and preserve Dandenong’s history and memoirs before they were lost. An inaugural meeting was held in Ms Perham’s home on 5 June. Three weeks later the Dandenong and District Historical Society was formed. One of the society’s founding members was legendary Journal editor Greg Dickson. Mr Dickson became a life member and was editor of the Gipps-Land Gate for 22 years from its first issue until his death in 1993. When he sold the paper Greg Dickson donated his collection of South Bourke and Mornington Journals and Dandenong Journals dating back to 1877.

Somehow history gets you … I like to find out the reasons why… JENNY FERGUSON
Another hero of the society’s story is Marjory Criddle who rescued a large number of historical negatives from disposal after Beaver Photographics was sold. Today the society has 135 members. Secretary Jenny Ferguson was in her 20s when she joined in 1973. She has been secretary since 2004. “I came to Victoria to work at the new Dandenong Library from South Australia. I thought I would join the society so I would find out a bit more about the place I was working.” Jenny’s late husband Alan joined her as a member. “Somehow history gets you,” Jenny said, who completed a thesis on the history of the Dandenong Market. “I guess I’ve always had a love of history. I like to find out the reasons why. Why did this happen as it did.” Tom Stein grew up in Dandenong and joined the society two years ago. Recently Tom has been helping digitally catalogue the society’s vast collection of material. When the Journal visited he was working through a folder of photographs of the town’s old ice works. Owned by the Brown family, the ice works were in McCrae Street before they moved to Cheltenham Road. “I enjoy getting things organised,” Tom said. “We don’t have any central catalogue so it’s important that we create one.” Fellow member Ray Carter’s interest in history was piqued when he wrote a history of the Salvation Army in the region in 1988. “I had to get a lot of information from the historical society and the people were so lovely and helpful that I joined.” Ray has created a slide show of photographs documenting the redevelopment of the Dandenong Market, which will be on display at November’s Dandenong Show. He loves visiting other historical societies when he is away on holiday and spends countless hours exploring old issues of the Journal on Trove, the online newspaper archive. Ray estimates that he has corrected 36,000 lines of text on Trove. Jenny Ferguson said people were welcome to visit the rooms on a Wednesday. She said the society needed volunteers who were good at research and were competent with computers. “We aren’t old-fashioned in the way we go about cataloguing. “We are preparing ourselves to be an internet resource,” she said.

Blaze burns into their yesteryear By Narelle Coulter When fire damaged two buildings in Lonsdale Street in September the flames revealed hidden sections of Dandenong’s history. The fire peeled away modern hoardings, revealing the hand-painted signs on the original brickwork advertising the former tenants of the two old buildings - Judd’s Men’s Wear and Finlayson’s Pharmacy. According to records compiled by the Dandenong and District Historical Society, 277 Lonsdale Street was first occupied in 1870 by William Thomson who ran a newsagent. In 1912 it became a watchmakers and in the 1920s a drapery owned by PH Tullett. George Judd took over the building in 1932 opening Judd’s Men’s Wear. The Judd family later ran an electrical store there. Number 275 Lonsdale Street was first occupied in 1870 by storekeeper S. Smithson. In 1912 it became Couves Pharmacy. It remained a pharmacy under numerous different owners until the 1960s. On Wednesday 25 June 1952 the Dandenong Journal reported that Mr Finlayson had sold his business. “After having successfully conducted his well-known Lonsdale St. Pharmacy for approximately 20 years, Mr. A. G. (Bert) Finlayson has disposed of his business to Mr. Charles McKeon, of Beaumaris, an ex-Serviceman, who has previously conducted successful pharmacies at Wyong (N.S.W.) and Elsternwick. “Mr. McKeon takes over on July 1st, and as a young businessman will receive a cordial welcome. “He intends to take up his residence here as soon as possible.

These are the men from Uncles By Casey Neill
The building’s former tenants were revealed after a fire in September. “After a long and successful business career Mr. Finlayson intends to go into well-earned retirement and take things easy. “The many friends of Bert and his wife will be pleased to know that they intend to continue to live in Dandenong. “Next Saturday they will leave on a 3-weeks’ trip to Cairns - and may they strike better weather than we’ve been having here!”

Uncles Smallgoods is the last man standing in what was once a bustling foodie strip in Dandenong. “These shops along here in Thomas Street are unchanged,” co-owner Bert Glinka said. “Uncles Smallgoods, that’s been used as a butchery and for smallgoods for, basically, forever.” Uncles appeared in 1994. Mr Glinka and Brendan D’Amelio acquired the store in September 2013. They opened cafe Young Uncles next door to sell quality coffee, meals featuring the deli’s smallgoods and more. “Young Uncles used to be an old pet shop, then it was a video library,” Mr Glinka said. But back in the day, the strip was home to fruiterers, grocers and bakeries.
“We’re the last one’s left standing,” he said. “You can still get a taste of the old in our deli. We’re still manufacturing here. There’s the same old smokers out the back.” Mr Glinka and Mr D’Amelio had corporate jobs they hated and decided to sell Uncles sausages at a festival, to huge success. “We really believed in the product, we couldn’t stop eating that sausage,” Mr Glinka said. The elderly Uncles owners were looking to step back and put the duo to the test with a truckload of wood for the smoker before agreeing to hand over the reins. This year they launched a sausage bouquet for Valentine’s Day and were inundated with demand. Their online store is now going strong, they acquired a factory in Dandenong late last year to pursue the wholesale market, and opened cafe Sunny and Thor in Dandenong’s Harmony Square to great success.

FIRE ACTION WEEK
13 - 20 October 2017
Message from the Premier [Next/This*] /This*] week weekisisweek is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to begin preparing for the summer ahead. It’s particularly important this year, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a long and hot summer. Thankfully, our dedicated emergency services are working together with communities, businesses, local councils and residents to reduce the risk for our state.
Stay informed
So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe. You can also ind out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au. Planning and preparing for ire is everyone’s responsibility. Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.
At the same time, it’s important that each of us understands our own ire risks. And remember, you don’t need to live in regional Victoria to be in danger. Fires can occur anywhere.
The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria
FIRE ACTION WEEK THE RIGHT TIME TO PREPARE It’s your responsibility to be ready this summer. Prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now. The reasons are black and white.
1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days. 2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass. 3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home. 4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees. 5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres. 6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to). 7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

He’s the best of British By Casey Neill Rob Boyle’s British butcher shop has been a Dandenong fixture for 26 years this November. “I used to work for a firm in Dandenong called Peter’s Meats,” he said. “They were behind the post office. I started there in ’88, I think. “They were Dutch background butchers. They were well-established, very good name.” He worked there for six years. “I was happy as a pig in mud,” he said. “After working around the traps for a while, in Australia, finding my feet, I really felt at home there. “But they said they were closing down by the end of the year. “I think they’d been in Dandenong since the ’60s, or something like that. “I wondered what to do. I thought I’d go out on my own and do a little bit of what I’d learnt from them.” Rob went to extraordinary lengths to find the perfect location. “I sat outside an empty shot in McCrae Street in Dandenong,” he said. “An old butcher’s shop had shut down. It was up for lease and I sat outside it every day in my lunch hour and counted the people going by to see if there was enough to make a living.” He sussed out his Lonsdale Street storefront in the same way. The previous tenant had gone bankrupt and owed the landlord money. Rob covered the debt and took on the lease. “I opened up Rob’s Continental Butchers,” he said. “I tried to make things I’d learnt. It was steadily going along. But people kept asking me, with my accent of course, ‘why don’t you make pork pie’. “I thought that was old hat and it wouldn’t go.” But Rob decided to give the food from his homeland a chance. “I asked the abattoir for a bucket of blood and he sent me 20 litres,” he said.

Rob Boyle shows off English pork sausages and bacon. 173791 “I took two litres of it and got an old recipe out.” The black pudding he produced sold out within hours. “Now we make 260 kilograms of black pudding a week,” he said. “We send it all over Australia. “A lot of the hotels in the city here use it, like the Windsor.” He slowly made the transition to the British specialty butcher he runs today. Rob and his team make about 90 products, from British sausages to haggis. “We don’t just do English, we do Scottish and Irish,” he said. “The Scots were the first ones that came when I started making the products. They love the black pudding. “The Scots are a tight knit community. The word soon got around.

“I think the British were a bit suspect. They’d had pork pies from the supermarkets. I had to reignite their tastebuds.” Rob has won countless awards over the years and is in the running for more from the Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) for his chicken snags, chorizo and kransky. “They say behind every good man is a better woman,” he said. “Jill is always there to encourage me.

Alfie Goldburg calls himself the “world’s oldest paperboy”. Alfie, 91, delivers copies of the Journal to the rooms of the Dandenong and District Historical Society as often as his health permits. Shuffling into the society’s rooms in Clow Street, Alfie is greeted warmly by the handful of members who are busy researching, scanning and organising the society’s vast collection. He has four copies of the Journal to deliver on this particular day. “I’ve got a bit behind,” he said, removing his red beanie to reveal large divots in his skull where doctors had operated. Alfie moved to Noble Park in 1956. He was sales manager for Goldberg International, which imported shoes and clothing. “I got £30 a week plus a car, which was pretty good in those days.” Alfie and wife Audrey bought their home on Heatherton Road in 1957 for £3275. Alfie still lives there today. He organises the Journals in date order and carefully places them in a tray to be added to the society’s vast catalogue of local newspapers. Alfie never misses an issue. “I read the whole lot. I like to see who’s who and what’s what.”

Keen to tune into the early radios On the left of Patterson’s Hay and Grain Store was William’s Radio Shop. This was in the early days of radio after crystal sets, before radio or wireless sets began to be mass-produced and a fair while before Bakelite sets replaced the wooden cabinets. Mr Williams also had the only public address system in Dandenong, which consisted of large speakers mounted on the roof of an old motor van. I think that van had not long replaced a horsedrawn vehicle.
JACK LOOKS
BACK JACK JOHNSON He attended all the Dandenong shows and gymkhanas held in the old showground in Clow Street. He also did many other gatherings including St Patrick’s Day sports. We would go into Mr William’s shop and were intrigued to get close to those large speakers which sat on the floor at the back of the shop.
On the right side of Patterson’s Store was McLennan Estate Agency which still operates in about the same spot alongside McLennan Lane. At that time the laneway was nothing more than a track with large timber and corrugated iron gates that led around the back of the McLennan shop to Patterson’s loading dock at the rear. It was through those gates that the horses and wagons entered the driveway coming and going from the roofed over loading dock. A circular driveway at the rear of the shops gave access to the horse paddock on McCrae Street. Also fronting the circular driveway were sheds, stables and a pair of can dunnies, male and female, for the use of the shopkeepers, as the Dandenong Sewerage Authority was not formed until 1936. There was an old post-and-rail fence on Mc-
Looking Back 18 October 1917 Band rotunda proposed At a meeting of the Dandenong patriotic league on Monday evening it was reported the successful reception of returned soldiers. The need of a band rotunda in the park had been referred by the Hon Secretary of the brass band to bring the subject before the league members of the brass band would undertake the erection of the rotunda and members were invited to co-operate. The league supported the action taken by the band and intimated to the council that they are prepared to do so.
50 years ago 17 October 1967 A piece of history has disappeared Dandenong history went under the hammer
Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society this week with the final demolition of the historical old weatherboard building the Salvation Army Citadel on a prime site at the corner of Walker and Mason Streets in Dandenong. Yesterday all that remained of the once proud building was a pile of still warm ashes from a small pile of rubbish raked together on the cramped block. A representative of Springvale Demolitions, which wrecked the citadel, said the old weatherboard materials would be sold. Tearing down the building took seven days. “We’ll be the first to let you know if we find a welcome nugget,” said one of the workmen jokingly. The old hall was brought from the historical town of Walhalla 50 years ago and the final Sunday service was held there last July. The site has been sold to Mr George R Shaw of Mt Eliza who will build a number of modern shops and offices there.

13 October 1997 Unconventional Emma Carter, 20, of Noble Park, will be one of the youngest candidates to compete for one of the 16 Victorian places in next year’s constitutional convention. Each person on the electoral roll will receive a ballot paper between 4 to 13 November in the voluntary vote. Ms Carter is a public relations student at RMIT. She is standing for the republic which she describes as “the youth ticket”. “We are a team of outspoken, informed people who stand for youth participation in constitutional reform, we are ready to put youth first,” she said. The party is headed by RRR radio presenter Ms Misha Schubert.
15 October 2012 City work bans likely to end A council worker dispute that threw local cricket into chaos and marred main streets with uncollected rubbish in Greater Dandenong is expected to end tomorrow. Last Friday, Australian Services Union members voted to suspend work bans on preparing cricket turf pitches and emptying main street bins. Tomorrow all council staff will vote on a revised pay offer that improves wages for the lowest-paid employees. The rubbish collection bans, which had led to increasingly unsightly piles of trash in central Springvale and Dandenong, lasted more than four weeks. On Friday, streets were noticeably cleaner. Workers had earlier rebuffed pay rises of 3.5 per cent per year, wanting 4 per cent.

Crae Street to which people coming to the stock or produce market could tie up their horse-drawn carts. On the other side of the McLennan laneway in Lonsdale Street was Alexander’s Grocery Store which had, I think, one of the first motorised delivery vans in Dandenong. This shop would become part of Boyd’s Gippsland Hardware business, which also had warehouses on the other side of McCrae Street. Today it is the Dandenong Arcade and about where the warehouses were is now Myer’s front entrance in Palm Plaza. South Eastern Timber Company and Rockard Fibro Plaster also once operated from this warehouse area, and at this time the open drain still angled through the property.

In the 1960s nurse Lee’s Noble Park house was knocked down to make way for a strip of shops.
St Mary’s Parish Church was founded on 18 April 1883 by Archbishop Goold. The present site on Foster Street was obtained in 1855 and the first Mass was said there in December 1864 by the same Archbishop in a tent. The next day, he laid the first stone for the first St Mary’s Church, which was completed in 1866.
St Jame’s church celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2015. The foundation stone was laid on 5 July 1864 by the Governor of Victoria Sir Charles Darling and the opening and dedication took place on 2 January 1865. The church is one of Dandenong’s most historic buildings.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE BUILDING SITE COSTS? THEY’RE one of the most misunderstood expenses when building a new home ... so what are building site costs and how do you avoid being stung? When building a new home there are a number of costs associated with prepping the site ready for our builders to come in and start laying foundations. These are things like an onsite toilet, scaffolding and security fencing, to name a few - and, if you’ve been past a building site recently, you’ll will have noticed all of these. On top of all that, there are the paperwork costs, such as permits and tests that must be carried out before any work can commence. And while some 2 DANDENONG JOURNAL

of these can be completed by you, we usually take all the legwork over so you can get on with day to day life. So ... there are legitimate building site costs that must be covered and included in the total cost of the build. However, the problem with building site costs is that some builders use them to baffle clients and hide discounts they may have given you elsewhere. For example, imagine your builder offers you $5000 worth of extra kitchen inclusions. Great, right? Sure, but less trustworthy builders will make up that cost by loading up the building site costs.

MAGICAL CELEBRATION FOR NEW DISPLAY VILLAGE ARCADIA estate in Officer will transform into a storybook wonderland in preparation for a community celebration and launch of a new 35-home display village. The free family day on Saturday 21 October will combine entertainment, food, music and some creatures most Melburnians won’t be used to coming across in their city’s south-eastern suburbs. Satterley Property Group general manager for Victoria and Queensland Jack Hoffmann said the storybook theme is a nod to the book names that feature throughout Arcadia’s streets, plus the four schools within the estate. “Creating vibrant communities is at the heart of all our projects and the launch of the display village is a great opportunity to celebrate with local residents and those families that already call Arcadia home,” Mr Hoffmann said. “Not many developments boast more than one school, let alone four and, with this in mind, we decided a theme exploring the magic of books and the fun that comes from reading made a lot of sense for this event.” Hoffmann said the 35-home display village has something for everybody adults and kids alike. The event promises ‘real adventure’ with a giant gorilla, a flock of flamingos in a sea of floating bubbles, as well as a magical unicorn guarding chocolate coins, all close to a giant jungle tent. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and as you explore you never know what you might find around the next corner,” Mr Hoffmann promised. Arcadia’s new display village features
"Grandfather Reg". residences constructed by some of Australia’s most trusted homebuilders from Homebuyers Centre and Boutique Homes to Metricon and Porter Davis - and there are floorplans, designs and interior finishes to suit every taste and budget. Everyone is welcome, from local
community members to those on the lookout for a new home or investment property. All visitors have the chance to win a Gold Class cinema experience worth $6000. The winner will get to book out an
entire cinema at Karingal and enjoy a movie in luxury for up to 40 people. The Arcadia display village launch is on Saturday 21 October and begins at noon at Arcadia Estate Bridge Road and Saffron Avenue, Officer. ARCADIACOMMUNITY.COM.AU ●

Through time in the motor trade The corner of Dandenong-Frankston Road and Lonsdale Street has long been the associated with the motor trade. In the 1930s the prominent corner was home to the Caithness brothers’ service station. Today it is home to one of Dandenong’s flagship businesses, Coffey Ford. Allan Coffey Motors brought the dealership in the late ’50s. The business suffered a devastating fire in 1970 but recovered and three decades later underwent a major renovation in 2004, which created the modern Coffey Ford footprint. Staff have always been integral to the success of Coffey Ford. Long-serving employers who have worked for Coffey Ford for more than 20 years include John Marinelli, Irene Curry, Michael Firth, Rob Hoffman and Chris Walker. Peter Minnoti started by washing used cars and rose to become Dealer Principal. The current Dealer Principal Jon Wainwright started as an apprentice in the Coffey Ford spare parts department. Mr Wainwright said Coffey Ford now employs 65 staff and sells new Ford vehicles, quality used cars and will service any vehicle. Coffey Ford is also a parts wholesaler, boasts a state-of-the-art body shop and operates a satellite service centre in Hallam. Coffey Ford is one of the few dealerships in Victoria today to have an onsite body shop. Mr Wainwright said the name Coffey Ford had become synonymous with Dandenong. “We are very proud of our long history in Dandenong,” Mr Wainwright said. “As Dandenong has grown and matured, so has Coffey Ford. “We still have a link with the past in that we are

Drum Theatre’s landmark clock tower didn’t always feature a clock. The Lonsdale Street building started life as the Dandenong Town Hall in 1890. Greater Dandenong Council’s Bridget Flood said there weren’t the funds to install a clock in the John Beswicke-designed tower at the time. “That was very similar to a lot of town halls,” she said. “They built the town hall and the clock was installed years later.” Dandenong raised funds for the feature at jubilee celebrations in 1933. It was installed the following year and struck 117 times on the night it was unveiled.

“Someone had to go up there and turn it off,” Ms Flood said. “The clock would just go haywire in the middle of the night. “People used to have to go down there and turn it off.” Guests at the hotel across the street used to complain, and the caretaker living in the hall had to endure the incessant chiming. Ms Flood said lightning had struck the clock on several occasions and in November 1982 four youths risked their lives to scale the tower and smashed the clock face. But the timepiece has endured and is still a recognisable Dandenong feature. Ms Flood said the tower space wasn’t open to the public, so the Journal’s images offer a rare glimpse inside.

MEDICALLY SPEAKING
Sun Patrol advises that the earlier cancer is detected the more likely serious health problems will be avoided.
Have your skin checked every year Due to Australia’s harsh climate, Sun Patrol recommends adults have a skin cancer check annually. An accredited skin cancer doctor and aesthetic medical practitioner, Dr. Michael Safaie explained that Sun Patrol’s qualified doctors conduct thorough checks of the entire skin surface to detect signs of cancer. “Frighteningly, two out of three Australians will develop skin cancer,” Dr. Safaie said. “The professional Sun Patrol team specialise in dermoscopy (looking at skin under magnification) and dermal imaging. “When a problem is detected, 90 per cent of cases can be treated under local anaesthetic at Sun Patrol or by prescription anti-cancer creams. “More complex cases may need referral to a plastic surgeon.” Suspicious lesions are also recorded for further follow-up and Dr. Safaie said that it is not necessary to have a referral to see a Sun Patrol doctor. He also stressed that the earlier cancer is detected the more likely serious health problems will be avoided. “Melanomas are uncommon but are the most
dangerous form of skin cancer. One in 29 Australians will develop melanoma or tumours in cells which produce melanin pigment. “Melanomas can also develop on other parts of the body such as the eye. Most commonly they appear on the face, back and lower legs,” Dr. Safaie said. “Basal cell carcinomas, or tumours in the cells that produce the top layer of skin, are the most common type of cancer in people with pale skin. “They are 10 to 15 times more common than melanomas. They are commonly found on areas of the body with high sun exposure. “Squamous cell carcinomas are generally detected in people aged over 40. “They are also cancers of the top layer of skin or epidermis. They can also appear on other parts of the body such as the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lung, bladder and genitalia.” To book an appointment phone 1300 SUNPATROL (1300 786 728). Sun Patrol Skin Cancer Clinic is at Arena Shopping Centre, Cardinia Road in Officer. For more information, visit, www.sunpatrolscc.com. au.

St John of God patients benefit from having access to McGrath breast care nurse Liz Douglass who is specially trained to manage the care of breast cancer patients throughout the course of their treatment.
New support for cancer awareness As active supporters of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, St John of God Berwick Hospital is focused on promoting fundraising activities and sharing vital health information throughout October. According to the Cancer Council, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in Australian women with one in eight females diagnosed by the time they reach 85. Although survival rates continue to improve, with 89 out of 100 women living more than five years beyond diagnosis, it is still more important than ever to raise breast cancer awareness given early detection yields the best prognosis. St John of God Berwick Hospital is proud to team up with the McGrath Foundation to support breast cancer patients in the Casey-Cardinia region. Through the foundation’s fundraising efforts and generosity, St John of God patients benefit from having access to
a McGrath Breast Care Nurse who is specially trained to manage the care of breast cancer patients throughout the course of their treatment. With more than 20 years of nursing experience, Liz Douglass has been caring for the needs of local breast cancer patients since 2007. She is the principal liaison between patients and the specialists who co-ordinate their treatment - whether it be surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Liz also plays an important advocacy role and helps to clarify technical or complicated information that patients may not understand. Most importantly, as a McGrath breast care nurse, Liz offers vital emotional support to cancer patients, as well as being a friend to them and their families during what can be an extremely difficult time in their lives. Breast Cancer Awareness
Month is a great opportunity to remind Australians to take time out to make sure they’re well informed about breast cancer detection and reducing the risks. It’s also a good time to let loved ones, who are affected by this disease, know that they are not alone on their breast cancer journey. St John of God Berwick Hospital specializes in caring for people affected by cancer. Its specialist centre on Kangan Drive, Berwick, houses an oncology centre that’s dedicated to treating and improving the lives of people with cancer. In additional to traditional treatment, the Day Oncology and Day Infusion Centre also have a free wig service for anybody in the community experiencing cancer-related hair loss, as well as technology known as ‘cold caps’ to combat hair loss before it occurs. For more information, or to make an appointment, call 8793 0550.

GREATER DANDENONG INDUSTRY IN FOCUS
Signs are good for manufacturing By Casey Neill
Tom and Todd Hartley on the Hilton Manufacturing floor in 2014. by Heine presses,” he said. “Now the sophistication’s kicked in. With all the CNC (computer numerical control) equipment we’ve purchased, the industry’s changed. “We’ve always been opportunists. “Even if we didn’t have the capability to make the part, we always told the client ‘of course we can make the part’. “We’ve, basically, grown the business on opportunity.” The Hartleys have always poured profits back into the business.
“We’ve never been scared to buy the most recent piece of equipment,” Todd said. “We knew the way to grow was by introducing new capabilities into our business.” Hilton has always manufactured everything in-house rather than subcontracting. “That made us very competitive out in the market place,” he said. Today’s clients include Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, Volgren buses, defence company Rheinmetall, and Jayco caravans. Hilton has also entered the traffic management
Engineering Precision Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Metal Pressing CNC Punching/Router Shearing & Bending
industry, “opening up a whole new world for us”. Its electronic signs can be seen on the Monash and Tullamarine freeway projects. “We’re just moving into another factory behind, which is another 4000 square metres,” Todd said. “That’s on 4 November. That’ll give us 20,000 square metres under roof in Dandenong and 4000 square metres under roof at our Brisbane site. “If you exclude the auto industry, manufacturing is alive and well.”

Todd Hartley joined the family business Hilton Manufacturing in 1990 after he finished high school. The sheet metal fabricator was in Union Road, Dandenong, at the time. Todd started on the shop floor. “My first job was working on a Pearson guillotine,” he said. “I worked my way up through the shop over probably 15 years, from the shop floor to machinery work and then production manager. “I then found my way into the office in the purchasing department.” Hilton relocated to Bangholme Road in 2005 and Todd’s father, Tom, handed him the reins. Tom had come to Australia from the UK in 1956 as a third-year apprentice toolmaker. He started Hilton in 1976 “in a little tin shed” after he was twice retrenched. It had grown to 130 employees when he placed Todd at the helm. “Today we’re up to about 300,” Todd said. The company earned induction into the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame in 2008 and in 2014 Tom joined the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Honour Roll, a nod reserved for individuals or organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to manufacturing excellence in Victoria. Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce inducted Tom into its Hall of Fame in 2015. He passed away earlier this year. The thriving Hilton was just one of his legacies. The company experienced about 20 per cent growth in the past 12 months. Todd said technology had changed the business hugely during its 40-year history. “Back when I joined we were really dominated

GREATER DANDENONG INDUSTRY IN FOCUS
Dream factory gives clients a lift By Helen Velissaris Anyone who walks into Norden Group’s Dandenong workshop would think they were in a mechanic’s garage. But in reality, Norden Group is in the business of making life-changing experiences come true. Norden Group director Robert Anson has been fitting out buses and cars to safely and efficiently transport those in wheelchairs for more than 40 years. The family owned and run business has become a leading force in car conversion in Australia for people with special needs. It has given families a ticket to a dream holiday, the ability to get to and from school or just the chance to forego relying on the community bus. Stefan Deane was able to realise his dream to visit Uluru thanks to the help of a Norden converted van. He wasn’t able to fly because there were no wheelchair friendly cars in the red centre and his fragile health was also a hurdle. But he not only got to Uluru but had a much longer holiday than expected. “I was driven around over 5500kms to Coober Pedy, Alice Springs and Kings Canyon in my wheelchair with oxygen machine, humidifier, suction pump and everything else,” he wrote after the trip. “Hurdles turn into mere road humps if you dare to dream.” Hearing those stories is why Robert Anson continues to push to make the technology better and more affordable. He’s helped thousands of clients become more mobile and achieve some added independence. “When you get the family in front of you, you’ve solved their problem, and they’re just thanking you - that’s just a buzz,” he told the Dandenong Journal. The business initially started as a body works shop to convert trucks and buses for businesses. Robert’s father, Ronald Anson, had a knack for fixing up old caravans and renting them out to holidaygoers. He decided to expand into commercial vehicles and in 1959 he opened Norden Group. The business began humbly but soon was offering chassis modifications, tipping bodies, custom-built semi-trailers, curtain side bodies and agricultural hydraulic fittings. But in the ’80s the business would enter a new phase thanks to a chance meeting. Ronald happened to sit down next to the chief executive of the Dandenong Hospital at his first Rotary meeting and in no time was asked if he could convert a vehicle to be wheelchair accessible. “Dad said ‘I had no right to say yes, but I did’,” Robert said. That inability to say no to challenging jobs is what has kept the business going and growing. The first conversion was a huge effort. “It was a bit painful,” Robert said. “We had to reinvent the wheel and learn as we went.” The finished product was exactly what the hos-

Robert and Aaron Anson at the Norden workshop. 173264 pital needed and staff immediately started using it to transport patients to and from the hospital. Thanks to word of mouth, more clients came knocking. Norden now provides wheelchair conversions for the Victorian State Government fleet, taxis, disability organisations, aged care facilities, private families and multi-purpose vehicles. The modifications can cost between $12,000 and $25,000 but are built to last. The company also offers major servicing for its conversions and has a fleet of mobile units to fix minor repairs. Norden also makes parts because it struggles to source the right pieces. “We got frustrated because we never had the equipment we needed,” Robert said. From overseas shipping costs and elongated arrival times, it made sense to locally produce parts. Norden Hydraulic Connections began in 1986 to supply fluid conveying products and Norden RV came to life to stock parts for caravans, motorhomes and 4WDs. Like any long-running business, hard times have hit the company.

The 1992 recession saw bank appointed auditors visiting workshop every week but the family’s determination never waned. “We had in excess of $1 million worth of debt and dad doubled down on the property, mortgaged it to the hilt, mortgaged his house to the hilt,” Robert said. “But we got through it eventually.” Now three generations of the Anson’s work at Norden.
Son Aaron said some of his earliest memories are of running around the workshop and counting bolts during school holidays. He will be steering the campaign to see more families use converted cars for personal use and not have to rely on community buses and facility vehicles.

World-class competitive designs Given the recent strong growth in Australian manufacturing, it isn’t surprising that businesses that focus on Australian manufacturing should be doing well at the moment. Such is the case for Successful Endeavours and its Australian manufacturing clients. Successful Endeavours is a multi-award winning Australian electronics design and embedded software development consultancy. It focuses on small-to-medium sized Australian manufacturers who want to improve their existing products, margins or market share through development of their next generation of market offerings and which also want to keep their core electronics manufacturing in Australia. Founded by managing director Ray Keefe in 1997, Successful Endeavours is a regular fixture at the Casey Cardinia Business Awards. This year the firm is a finalist in both the Manufacturing and the Business and Professional Services categories. Winners will be announced on 27 October. Mr Keefe said Successful Endeavours aimed to give Australian electronics manufacturers world class designs that allow them to compete both locally with imports and in export markets by having best of breed products. At this year’s Electronex trade show Mr Keefe presented two of the nine workshops on topics associated with how to develop products that can be made profitable in Australia.
“Our clients can get direct access to the potential for huge improvements in product function, reliability and margin through applying the right mix
Successful Endeavours managing director Ray Keefe, standing, discusses a project with Ben Hearne. 173100 of electronics hardware and software to both new and existing market opportunities,” Mr Keefe said. “At Successful Endeavours we recognise that better products using competitive technologies are the lifeblood of Australian electronics manufacturers, and good product development delivers better products. “Contrary to what many believe, electronics design and product development in Australia is both practical and profitable. “This is reality despite the progressive erosion of manufacturing over the past half century, in
part caused by the economic restructuring policies of successive Federal Governments in favour of the emerging services sector and to the detriment of industrial-based sectors. “In 1946, 90 per cent of all manufactured products used in Australia were made in Australia but in 2006, this figure had plummeted to just 10 per cent. “It doesn’t make sense to ship raw material overseas then import the finished goods back here. Most of the income and profit is happening for someone else, somewhere else.”

Mr Keefe believes there is a huge opportunity for electronics manufacturing to flourish in Australia. “The key to low-cost electronics manufacturing is to design a product to be efficiently and flawlessly made so that it continues to work correctly well past its warranty period. “This is one of the secrets of our success and the strategy we have used to ensure electronics products manufactured in Australia by our clients are indeed competitive and profitable when compared with Asian imports.”

Raising the bar, closing the gap Killester College is a Kildare Ministries school and is guided and inspired by the Brigidine tradition. The school motto ‘Strength and Kindliness’ challenges students to develop in strength and intellect, mind, body and spirit. Principal Leanne Di Stefano said students were encouraged to live out their faith in action by supporting and making a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable. “It is in this context that we aspire to be people of hope,” Ms Di Stefano said. “Every day we work with people from so many backgrounds and have the ability to explore ideas from varying cultural contexts. “Our students, therefore, have a much deeper global awareness and understanding of each other’s cultures. “We are very aware that the modern workplace increasingly demands skills and abilities such as critical thinking, problem-solving, working cooperatively and collegially with others, a possession of ICT capabilities and the ability to effectively communicate.” Killester has ensured such skills can be enhanced with the development of dynamic and student-focused learning facilities, including a flexible learning centre for Years 7 and 8, an open learning centre for Year 9s and a re-developed resource centre for students. The delivery of technology, integrated across the curriculum, focuses on the development of a skill set which is essential for the 21st century. Ms Di Stefano said the curriculum designed and delivered at Killester was progressive, student-centred and demands of students to continuously extend themselves beyond their current capabilities and capacities. Killester also has an enduring and productive relationship with Monash University. “Many of our graduates go to Monash Univer-

program on student achievement. “They examined our NAPLAN results, particularly our healthy gains in literacy and numeracy and they interviewed teachers and leaders involved in the program. “The final report was extremely positive in its findings, particularly in regard to the innovative and collaborative practice used by teachers in English and humanities and by the significant achievements by students in mathematics.
“An emphasis on mathematics teachers’ excellent abilities to combine the pastoral and academic transition was also explained. “We aim to use these findings to further extend the innovative, collaborative and student centred approaches in 2018 and beyond.” School tours are conducted on the second Monday of each month and inquiries regarding enrolments can be directed to the principal’s PA Susana Douglas on 9547 5000.

Dandenong High School has been educating students since 1919. When the school opened as a result of the determined efforts of a group of leading citizens, students were placed in temporary accommodation in the fire station, Temperance Hall and Church of Christ. The foundation stone was laid in November and by 1920 the permanent and substantial two-storey red brick building was ready. Almost immediately the growth in student numbers meant the facilities were inadequate, necessitating urgent extensions. This pattern was to be repeated throughout the coming decades. A new wing was soon added, forming the familiar quadrangle of today.
In 2009 a regeneration project started at the school to create a ‘super school’ with seven new award-winning house buildings catering for more than 2000 students. The original building was retained.
Dandenong Primary School opened on 4 May 1874. The school moved to its present site on Foster Street in 1881. This photograph was taken in 1887 to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.
The Gothic-inspired building as it appears today. In 1881 the ornate style was considered to add significantly to the architecture of the township. The building contained three rooms, one for boys, one for girls and a gallery. It had very modern fittings that included a porch, a hat rack and ventilation.

Dandenong High School celebrated its cultural diversity through a whole-school concert. The International Week Concert is a long tradition at the school, acting associate principal Kellie Mason said, and students and staff look forward to it each year. “We run three concerts on the day to allow for every one of our large cohort of students to attend and to join in the celebration,” she said. “There are food vans also available and the canteen serves international cuisine.” This year’s event took place on Friday 22 September. “As performing at the International Week Concert is so sought after, students rehearse and prepare for months beforehand,” Ms Mason said. “It is a wonderful opportunity for students from Years 7 to 12 to work together and to celebrate their own cultural background with their peers.” She said the school was extremely proud of the event, which wraps up term three. “It is one of the many events that makes our school unique and an important part of the rich cultural community in Dandenong,” she said.

SPORT Clubs agree to grade reshuffle By Nick Creely The Dandenong District Cricket Association (DDCA) will adopt an eight teams per grade model from the 2018/19 season after clubs voted in favour of the proposal at a Board of Management meeting on 4 October. Currently the DDCA is a 12 teams per grade competition but after a review from the association it put forward its thoughts of proposed changes identical to that of neighbouring competitions such as the MPCA and the WGCA for the first time on 11 September. “We’ve been backwards and forwards on this (change) for some time but, at the end of the day, it had to happen - there was little to achieve by delaying it,” DDCA secretary Ray Nicholls said. “We think it was the right time to make these changes, (and) it will make for a more even, balanced competition in the future.”
Picture: ROB CAREW
Clubs such as Buckley Ridges will have to fight to remain in Turf 1 after the DDCA changes. 165884 ating a composite turf grade by including the required number of synthetic sides; · The Match Committee will have discretion to adjust teams throughout the grades as is seen necessary (e.g. new sides being entered);
The advent of eight teams per grade will also flow through to the senior synthetic and junior grades. The only difference will be that clubs will nominate their preferred grades as usual and the
Maturing Mac goes on the attack in bid for titles By Jason Adams Last year’s TAB Melbourne Cup winner Ando’s Mac launched his bid for back-to-back titles on Thursday night with a powerful win in Prelude 3. He began well from box eight and muscled past his rivals to lead at the first turn. Just like last year’s Cup final he found himself in front with clear air behind him down the back straight. He held off Blue Gum Hill to win by one and 1 3/4 lengths in fast time of 29.29, a new personal best and fastest of the night. His trainer Anthony Azzopardi was proud post-race and is confident that the three-year-old is improving with age. “The older he’s getting, the better he’s racing. His trials have been sensational, I can’t fault him he’s going really well at the moment,” Azzopardi said. Greyhounds who win a Prelude or an exemption race gain automatic entry into TAB Melbourne Cup heats.
Ando Mac stormed to victory on Thursday night. Having won last year’s edition of the world’s richest greyhound race, Ando’s Mac was already exempt into this year’s heats, however Azzopardi believed a run at open level would be beneficial. “With the Cup Preludes on it’s unlikely there’s going to be a race for him given what grade he is, so we thought we might as well nominate him for them.
FREE 25 POINT SERVICE
“I like to keep him racing in good company to keep him at the top of his game.” Ando’s Mac, or Max the Destroyer, as he’s known to Azzopardi’s daughter Kaylah, will now hope to gain a berth in The Meadows’ group one Topgun later this month. A panel will meet this Sunday to decide which greyhounds will gain a start in the invitation-only event. “The Topgun will be his next assignment, pending he gets a run. It’s going to be hard as there’s so many great dogs around but I reckon he deserves a spot in the race.” Following that, Ando’s Mac will be placed in cotton wool in preparation for a tilt at back-toback TAB Melbourne Cups. “After that we’ll have him rest for a while to prepare for the Melbourne Cup.” The second Prelude of the night was won by Yarraman Ace who narrowly defeated Chasin’ Crackers in 29.44. Thursday night’s Prelude Series was the second of four in the lead up to Cup heats. Series three will be held on Thursday 27 October.
WHAT’S ON this week
Match Committee will adjust as necessary, based on history. In other news around the DDCA, the annual Dandenong Club Twenty20 competition will kick off on Wednesday evening, with 23 teams.

Here are the changes that will be implemented from the 2018/19 season: · In a normal 21-week season, each team would play the other seven sides in their grade twice, once in a two-day game and once in a one-day match; · The reduction in teams per grade is considered a fairer and more balanced model and affords teams a greater opportunity to play in finals; · To achieve the model, the bottom four sides at the conclusion of the 2017/2018 season will be removed from Turf 1 and placed with the top four teams in Turf 2 to form the Turf 2 grade. The bottom eight sides in Turf 2 would move into Turf 3 and so on until all turf grades had eight teams; · If a shortfall in teams existed in the bottom turf grade, then consideration will be given to cre-
