Fans going for gold WORLD Cup fever captured Dandenong West Primary School last week.

Pupils including, back, Adel, Henare and Hassani and, front, Rutkoch and Lara dressed in soccer gear on Thursday 26 June in exchange for a gold coin donation to a student sports equipment fund.

Parents were invited to watch a staff versus students match for a gold coin donation and the kids took part in sports activities throughout the day.

No doubt some of the soccer fans will head to Dandenong Civic Square to watch the FIFA soccer World Cup final live at 3.30am on 14 July. 122423 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Penalty shoot out

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DANDENONG Thunder under-13s boys team manager was been banned from attending Victorian soccer games for two years after being found guilty by a Football Federation Victoria tribunal of abusing a 17-year-old female referee after an underage soccer match.

Aldrin De Zilva, a lawyer and former FFV director, did not appear at Thursday night’s hearing and issued a statement rejecting the tribunal’s authority.

He stated he “totally” refuted the misconduct charge of directing “of-

fensive, insulting and/or abusive language” at the referee after the 13 April match.

Mr De Zilva, whose son plays for the team, allegedly made the comments in the referee’s room after the game against Goulburn Valley Suns in which three Thunder boys were redcarded by Ms Taylor Roberson.

In his statement, Mr De Zilva denies engaging in a discussion with Ms Roberson.

“At no time whilst in the room did I engage in a discussion with Ms Roberson, nor did I direct any offensive, insulting and/or abusive language and/

or behaviour towards Ms Roberson or any other referee,” the statement read.

Also at the hearing, Thunder under13s boys coach Fitsy Ibraimi, 35, was banned from attending Victorian soccer games for six weeks for misconduct directed at the same referee during the same match.

“What he conceded he was doing was calling (the referee) biased and belittling her in front of impressionable 12-year-olds,” senior tribunal member Mark Goldblatt said of Mr Ibraimi.

The club was fined $5000 and the pair ordered to take a ‘respect and responsibility’ course.

Mr Goldblatt – one of three members who unanimously found Mr De Zilva and Mr Ibrahaimi guilty – said Mr De Zilva and his barrister Leslie Glick had treated the tribunal with “utter contempt... basically snubbing his nose at the tribunal.”

“His conduct in that regard is totally reprehensible.”

He disagreed with Mr Glick’s assertion that the underage status of the game worked in the accused’s favour.

“We’re not talking about Manchester United or Carlton Football Club we’re talking about the under-13s,” Mr Glick said earlier.

Mr Goldblatt said: “It is the adults that set the example” for “impressionable young people” – particularly at underage games refereed by a minor.

FFV acting chief executive Matthew Annells said the message from Thursday’s hearing was “FFV does not tolerate this kind of behaviour in any shape or form”.

“Referees are an extremely important part of our game and they deserve the respect of everyone in football.

“Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of the football family understand that and act accordingly. For those who don’t, this is the outcome.”

Fear of deportation takes refugee toll ment issues” including schizophrenia and “significant risk of selfharm”.

“I request he sees a doctor as soon as possible.”

The Department of Immigration had ordered the minor’s removal from the community and into detention if he was released on bail, the lawyer said.

The department later told the Journal it was inappropriate to give details on the accused due to “privacy and legal issues”.

Dandenong’s Aran Mylvaganam, who leads the Tamil Refugee Council, described three recent self-immolation attempts by Tamil asylum seekers in Australia – including the death of a Geelong man last month as “nothing uncommon”.

He said, in many more unreported cases, people were trying to take their lives by overdoses or hanging.

“There are a large number of Tamil asylum seekers and refugees whose state of mind is quite bad.”

He said Tamil asylum seekers were shaken by Immigration and Border Protection Minister Scott Morrison’s pronouncement to send Sri Lankan asylum seekers “back to Sri Lanka”.

He said about 1800 had been deported in the past two years.

“It doesn’t matter what we say to them because the Australian Government say they will be deported.

“When given the option of going back to Sri Lanka and the torture they face, they choose to die in Australia instead.”

Friends of Refugees member Sri Samy, who had been in close contact with the man who attempted self-immolated, said on Tuesday that seven Tamil asylum seekers in recent weeks had told her of their intent to self-immolate if sent home.

Ms Samy told of a bright, intelligent man in his twenties whose mental health disintegrated alarmingly.

After failing to return her calls, she found him at home rolled up in the foetal position.

He accused her of being an immigration official.

“He said take me back to the detention centre. I’m scared to open the door, I’m scared to open letters.”

She said supporters had fought to keep the attempted self-immolation man in psychiatric care, rather than have him sent back to his house.

“I believe if it wasn’t for us he

wouldn’t be alive now.” A spokeswoman for Mr Morrison said asylum seekers in the community were given financial assistance and casework services under a government scheme.

“A fundamental part of Australia’s immigration system is that people found not to engage Australia’s protection obligations and who have no lawful basis to remain in Australia are expected to return to their country of origin. This includes Sri Lankan nationals.

“People are only removed where they either make no refugee claim or their refugee claim has failed and they have exhausted or chosen not to pursue further avenues of appeals.”

This month, Greater Dandenong council endorsed a call for the Federal Government to change its asylum seeker policy.

Councillor Roz Blades, representing the council, approved a joint statement with other Victorian councils to demand the end of offshore processing and temporary protection visas, and to grant work rights to asylum seekers.

Greater Dandenong has the highest number of refugees and asylum seekers living in Victoria.

Safety at work to soothe away trauma

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE first base for effective trauma work is that the client needs to feel safe, according to the manager of a torture-survivor counselling service in Dandenong.

Foundation House’s south-east team of counsellors, psychologists, social workers, masseurs and naturopaths is busy helping to heal the mental wounds of asylum seekers and refugees.

But that place of safety is elusive for many of them.

“If you don’t have enough to live on, to feed the kids and having a roof over your head, it makes life very difficult,” service manager Roslyn Leary said.

“The added pressure for asylum seekers is that they’re living with uncertainty.

“They could be deported, or whether their claims for refugee status will be upheld.

“Even if they’re found to be a refugee, there’s no certainty that they can stay.

“They’re only given temporary

Foundation House staff John Belieu and Cecilia Lopez. 122432 Picture: GARY SISSONS visas and they can’t bring their family.” Ms Leary said many of the team’s clients suffered from

post-traumatic stress disorder, highanxiety, significant depression and complex trauma.

THE Dandenong Journal has been lauded as one of the best community newspapers in southern Australia.

The Journal was named best newspaper over 50,000 circulation in the annual Community Newspapers of Australia (CNA) southern awards on Friday night.

The awards are open to newspapers in South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.

In their comments the judges said the Journal had; “A very strong journalism ethic and a great commitment to the community... while there is a significant level of commercial support, management have ensured that there is still room for the very best journalism and photography that the newsroom can offer”.

Journal editor Narelle Coulter said the award recognised the Journal’s commitment to the Greater Dandenong community.

“The Journal has always strived to be a reliable record of its time and I am pleased the CNA judges have recognised the Journal team’s ongoing efforts to give readers the best newspaper we possibly can.”

They were also anxious for the safety of the families they have left behind. Foundation House specialists try to help people move through these barriers and get on with their lives.

Counsellors talk through the problems while masseurs and naturopaths try to unknot the physical trauma due to torture and rape.

“Their body remembers the trauma,” Ms Leary said.

“The pain continues beyond, when there can’t be a reason for ongoing pain.”

Occasionally a small number benefit greatly from being given insight into their condition.

But for most it is a slow and long process because it takes time for counsellors to win trust.

One barrier for people of nonWestern cultures is the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

“The implication is that they’re crazy. It’s not true at all.

“Their presentation - having paralysing anxiety and being excessively depressed - is a normal reaction to traumatic events.”

THE attempted self-immolation of a Noble Park man who has been seeking asylum for two years has raised concerns about the mental welfare of Greater Dandenong’s asylum seeker community.

The 40-year-old Tamil asylum seeker was saved by quick-thinking housemates after setting himself alight with petrol on 20 June.

Last week he was transferred to Monash Medical Centre’s psychiatric unit.

Friends of the man said he had fled Sri Lanka after having his legs broken by security police.

He had left behind his wife and daughter.

This month he had learned that his imprisoned brother in Sri Lanka had “disappeared”, believed to have been murdered.

Last Monday, a minor - on an unknown immigration visa - harmed himself in Dandenong police holding cells after being charged with aggravated burglary.

The minor’s lawyer told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court in a bail hearing on Monday that the minor had “significant custody manage-

A real Polish self-starter A CENTURY-OLD SOURDOUGH STARTER HAS BEEN PUT TO SLEEP, WOKEN UP AND TRANSPLANTED INTO A DANDENONG BAKERY’S RANGE OF POLISH, RUSSIAN AND GERMAN-INFLUENCED BREADS.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE starter comes from a sinceclosed bakery in the Polish city of Bialystok, which was closed down five years ago because its flue didn’t comply with European Union emissions standards.

One of the bakers, Andrew Lipiszko, and wife Hanna were given the starter to take with them to Australia - it is the staple of their Polish Rye Crust Bakery in Dandenong.

Like the keepers of an eternal flame, the artisan bakers have tended the sourdough - the last surviving remnant of the old Polish bakery.

“Before we could use it here, it had to be frozen and put to sleep to go into quarantine,” Mrs Lipiszko said. “It took one and a half months to make it alive again.”

Mr Lipiszko’s wife Hanna de-

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL scribes the aged sourdough as being like a vintage wine - the older the bacteria, the more potent the taste.

The menu is a collusion of the couple’s regional influences - Andrew from near the Russian border, Hanna from a former Germanic district.

It includes more than 50 European style breads, cakes, pretzels, borscht as well as sauerkraut and goulash soups as well as Russian and German-style meats.

Polish Rye Crust Bakery is at 101-103 Foster Street, Dandenong.

Originally, all clubs would have had to bid against each other to secure machines.

He needs more volunteers to work alongside him, answering calls for help in storm and flood situations and assisting police with evacuations and searches for evidence and people.

Mr Daniel particularly needs people who are available to attend callouts during the day.

“I could easily do with another 20 or 30,” he said.

“We’re not just looking for people to get dressed up in orange and go out when it’s cold and wet and windy.

“Because this is effectively a small business, we need a whole bunch of people in admin positions as well.”

Scott De Lacy is the crew’s community education represen-

tative and helps to spread the emergency management message at events, Bunnings and Masters stores, and schools and Scout groups. He also organises information packs covering floods, storm preparation kits and home emergency kits.

“The idea is that we are going to target the transient renters. The real estate agents will include that in their welcome pack,” he said.

Mr De Lacy joined the SES about two years ago.

“I’ve always wanted to participate and not only learn the skills but do something for the community, and I’ve found what you put in is what you get out,” he said.

“The more you put in, the more skills you learn, the more confident you become.”

The crew also removed a large tree that toppled in Joy Parade, Noble Park, blocking the street.

“That was the first bigger operation that I’ve been involved in since I’ve been at the unit, and I was really impressed with the way the guys worked,” Mr Daniel said.

SPRINGVALE SES has a new name.

The unit will from today (Monday) be known as Greater Dandenong SES. “All SES units are dependent on their local council for funding, along with some funding that we get from the state as well,” unit controller Paul Daniel said.

“There is a move at the moment for all units to align themselves with council as far as name is concerned.

“Historically this unit is called Springvale SES because there was a Springvale council.”

Mr Daniel said the official name change would take some time to complete.

“I think SES have identified 62 things that need to change!” he said.

“It was something that was voted on by the membership.

“It would be fair to say that some members were still very attached to the Springvale name. But the majority voted in favour of the change.”

He said it would help the municipality’s residents to identify the crew as their own.

“It would be very easy to assume that because it’s Springvale SES that we only look after Springvale, whereas the reality is that we look after the whole of the City of Greater Dandenong,” he said.

“From Noble Park over to Springvale, over to Dandenong, down to Bangholme, basically.

It’s quite a big area.”

ST JAMES’ 150TH CELEBRATIONS St James’ Anglican Church in the days when the congregation arrived by horse and cart.

Reverend Jeff Parker.

Through the aisles of history

Anglican Church grows with city

By MARLENE NEWELL THE work of the Anglican Church in Dandenong is closely connected with the history of the district.

The early settlers began to filter in from Melbourne in the middle and late 1840s.

The first church service in Dandenong was held in Dunbar’s Hotel (now Jim Dandy’s) on 21 July 1850.

As well as local people, officers of the Native Police Force attended and with them between 20 and 25 Aborigines in training at the depot.

In July 1855 a site of two acres for Church of England purposes had been appropriated on the corner of Langhorne and Wilson streets and extending to McCrae Street.

Both day and Sunday schools were held in a large tent which was located midway between the present church and Laurel Lodge.

A school house was built in 1856 facing Wilson Street at a cost of £330.

In October 1863 a meeting of church members and others was arranged to discuss the erection of a church.

Twenty residents were each asked to collect £10 within two months.

A bazaar was held in March 1864 and with a grant of £200 from the Council of the Diocese funds stood at £406.6.0.

Plans and specifications for the building were drawn up and tenders called.

The Foundation Stone of St James’ Church of England was laid by the Governor of Victoria Sir Charles Darling on 5 July 1864, the opening and dedication tak-

The first Anglican church services in Dandenong were held at Dunbar’s Hotel. ing place on 2 January 1865. The church was built in the early English style and was purely rectangluar.

By 1886 it was obvious that the church could not hold the crowded congregations and a building committee was formed to raise funds to enlarge the building with the addition of the two transepts, a chancel and sanctuary.

To cater for parishioners who drove regularly to St James’ from as far away as Lysterfield, Hampton Park, Narre Warren and Rowville, stables and sheds were built on the McCrae Street side of the grounds for their horses and buggies.

The ministry by the vicars of St James’ included St Aidan’s Noble Park, St Lau-

rence’s Doveton, St Michael’s and All Angels, North Dandenong, and St Luke’s, West Dandenong.

The latter two parishes joined together and formed the new parish of St Michael’s and St Luke’s.

The years following the centenary celebrations in 1964 saw unprecedented growth in Dandenong and surrounding areas as they changed from residential to commercial.

St James’ now also has a large ethnic congregation with folk from South Africa, Sri Lanka, India, as well as the recent migrants from the Sudan.

This multi-cultural influence has greatly enhanced both the spiritual and social life of St James’.

Congratulations to St James Church on this historic milestone

By THE REVEREND JEFF PARKER WHEN I arrived at St James’ in February 2009, I realised that it was different to other places where I had ministered.

A roll of previous vicars displayed in the church shows that I was filling a position held by only 18 other priests since 1868 with the responsibility for St James’ given to others located further before that time.

St James’ Dandenong has been a gathering place for Anglicans and anyone else seeking God’s mercy and peace for all of 150 years.

And so July 2014 is a time to celebrate the continual mission and ministry that has taken place from St James’ and its associated churches over that very eventful time.

I am mindful that the laying of the foundation stone on 5 July 1864 by the then Governor Charles Darling and the forming of the Anglican community in Dandenong pre-dates Federation.

It also pre-dates the coming to office of 28 prime ministers of Australia and the Great Depression in the 1930s.

Australia has been involved in many armed conflicts during these years, including the two world wars, Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf wars.

So St James’ has stood firm through great moments of upheaval in Australia and around the world.

St James’ today is the gathering place for a diverse and enthusiastic community

of Christian men and women originally from many countries around the world.

We worship in the modern Anglo-Catholic style, making use of our beautiful and historic pipe organ and also the data projector which assists with singing hymns and also entering visually into the sermon.

Morning tea after Sunday services is a joyful time of fellowship and meeting new friends and many families still come to St James’ for baptism.

Our clergy are trained and qualified religious marriage celebrants and couples often come to St James’ for their wedding service.

It’s great to hear stories from visitors who were married at St James’ 20, 30, even 40 years ago or more and other similar stories from people for whom St James’ has special meaning in their life story.

But the church is always the church of today. And St James’ has a wonderful today.

We have great and committed people who love and serve God day after day, week after week.

There are always so many jobs to be done, things to be fixed, services to be organised, copies to be made – the list is endless.

As we celebrate 150 years of faithful ministry we give thanks for everyone who has been part of our community of faith over the years and everyone who is able is warmly invited to reconnect with us as our story continues.

ST JAMES’ 150TH CELEBRATION

Core of the community

By NARELLE COULTER WHEN Ian and Pat McDonald decided to marry 52 years ago they faced a problem - Pat was Catholic and Ian was Presbyterian.

“We thought the best thing to do was to both change religions so we became Anglicans,” said Ian with a fond smile at his wife.

So began the couple’s long association with St James’ Anglican Church, Dandenong.

They were married at St James’ by The Reverend Egan Eggleston.

Their children were baptised at St James’, one of their four children was married there, they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with a special church service and they have been instrumental in helping to organise the church’s sesquicentenary celebrations.

Ian and Pat’s love affair began with two black eyes.

It was July 1961 and Ian, a keen cricketer, was playing football in the off season for his home side, Catani.

“I took a mark in the goal square against Bunyip. It was a wet, dark day at Catani, there was even some hail, I think, and this bloke went ‘whack’ from the side,” Ian said, re-creating the punch which broke his nose.

After having his nose straighted by a doctor and wearing a mask for a fortnight, Ian was left with two shiners.

His rugged appearance, however, wasn’t going to stop him going to the regular Cricket Association Wednesday night dance.

Ian and Pat McDonald were married at St James’ 52 years ago. 122660 “I was sitting in the supper room, embarrassed because of my two black eyes, and a very pretty girl came up to me and said ‘What happened to you?

Football?’

“She was very popular and the next week I couldn’t get a dance with her.

“So I got a couple of my mates to block any other other blokes and I got

the last dance of the night.” The couple have drawn strength throughout their marriage from the friendship and counsel they have received at St James’.

“We felt we should be loyal, decent and support the church. They took us in and we certainly needed a friend at that stage,” Ian said.

“The church has been a settling

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS influence, something you can rely on, like a friend, really, because life can be pretty hectic and things happen that you need a steadying influence to help you along.

“There are outstanding people there who do marvellous work and don’t seek any credit. They are always there for you.”

As well as his church commitments, Ian has been a civic leader, serving as a councillor on the City of Dandenong between 1982 and 1993 and donning the mayoral robes twice.

He was a member of the Dandenong Hospital board of management and is a life member of the Dandenong District Cricket Association.

By his side through it all has been Pat. Now retired, Ian can often be spotted zipping around the church grounds on a ride-on lawn mower.

All the ground and most the maintenance work is handled by church volunteers.

He hopes the historic precinct comprising St James’, Heritage Hill and Laurel Lodge will be protected into the future by local and state authorities.

“That whole historic precinct is very important to Dandenong.

“When we first started coming the church was full of what you’d call old Dandenong, people with names like Corrigan and Keys.

“It has changed a bit now, but that reflects the changing face of Dandenong and Australia.”

The couple encourage new residents to visit St James’, talk to Father Jeffrey Parker and discover for themselves the fellowship and support on offer.

“Go along, don’t have fixed views, make up your own mind,” Ian said.

“Get to know Father Jeff and the other leaders of the church. Find an area in which you can assist and do it.”

Celebration congregation to be marked by gala dinner more relaxed practices. “While our church is steeped in tradition and history, the easygoing people and clergy create an atmosphere of vibrancy and fun.

“The congregation is a family; we delight in each other’s joy and share the pain of each other’s sorrows.

“Our culturally diverse community allows us to enjoy the traditions of different cultures, especially through food and language.

“As a young person, I particularly appreciate how our community is multi-generational.

“I enjoy learning from the people around me of all ages; from the children at Sunday school who cannot read yet, to the seniors with countless stories to tell.”

Jacob has been attending St James’ his entire life, having been baptised there in November 1991 by The Reverend Alan Baker.

Jacob Wright.

Tatiana Devendranath.

Jacob has also been a supporter of St James’s outreach programs to the local community, being a joint compere, alongside Ian McDonald, in the 2009, 2010 and 2012 St James’ concerts,

and narrator in the 2011 and 2013 St James’ Christmas pageants.

Tickets for the gala concert are adult $25, concession $20 and children under 12 free.

Contact Ian McDonald at imcdonald3@bigpond.com.au.

On Sunday 20 July a procession starts a full day of celebrations.

The procession will leave the Jim Dandy Hotel at 9am and make its way to the church in Langhorne Street.

The Jim Dandy Hotel, which was previously Dunbar’s Hotel, was where the first Anglican church services were held in Dandenong.

Reverend Parker will lead a special church service at 10am followed by a luncheon. There will be a second church service that evening at 7pm.

Celebrations continue in September with a flower festival on the weekend of 20 and 21.

Two books have also been produced to mark the sesquicentenary - one on the history of St James’ and another on the church’s magnificent stained glass windows.

Knife robbery at cemetery

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AN ELDERLY man has been attacked and robbed at knifepoint by two men while visiting a friend’s grave on a weekend afternoon in Springvale Botantical Cemetery’s gardens.

The man, 71, of Springvale, was walking past the cemetery when he decided to visit the recently-deceased friend’s resting place about 3.30pm on 21 June.

“When he gets melancholy, he likes to walk around the

garden,” Detective Senior Constable Dean Hedge of Greater Dandenong police’s Embona taskforce said.

He said the “vulnerable” man had been “shaken up” by the armed robbery.

The victim was approached by a man, described as of Asian appearance, in his thirties, with short dark hair and wearing white sneakers, near the cemetery’s main entrance on Princes Highway.

The victim was then grabbed

in a headlock from behind by a second male. When the victim was on the ground, the first man produced a 20-30 centimetre long knife and threatened to kill the victim if he didn’t cooperate.

The first man held down the victim, while the second man stole cash from the victim’s pockets.

The assailants fled by foot alongside a wall near Browns Road.

Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Energy watchdog is left powerless by high-voltage KEYSBOROUGH residents have been told the state’s energy ombudsman can’t stop high-voltage overhead powerlines being installed outside their homes.

Energy and Water Ombudsman Victoria this month mounted an investigation into a resident’s complaint against 66,000-volt overhead lines being installed metres from their home without warning.

Elizabeth Domanski was one of 30 petitioners who

called for a halt to the works.

She was told the investigation was still open but that power company United Energy had “apparently fulfilled its obligations”.

“They can’t stop the works,” Ms Domanski said.

“There isn’t any regulations to protect us from having these wires right next to us.”

She and other residents along a 300-metre section of Cheltenham Road had been

accustomed to powerlines being buried outside their premises.

United Energy has said that burying the powerlines, required to supply Keysborough’s new housing and industrial estates, would be “impracticable” because of physical space constraints, proximity to gas and water assets and excessive cost.

The ombudsman declined to comment.

Jail pointless

A MAN with a 47-year criminal history has been told by a magistrate there was no point putting him in jail.

Glen Wilson, of Noble Park, pleaded guilty at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday to aggravated burglary and spending nearly $1000 on stolen credit cards at three supermarkets and two brothels in late January. He was due to be released from a four-month jail stint last Thursday for two breaches of a suspended sentence for earlier shop thefts.

when he lost his job and resumed heroin use - part of an addiction of nearly 40 years.

The longest span he had been out of jail in that time was five recent years when he had stable accommodation in Noble Park and employment, his lawyer said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said a community corrections order was “worth a go”, with Wilson still having family support and being clean of drug use after his prison stint.

“You’ve been coming to court since 1967 ... I’m not going to lecture you,” Mr Vandersteen said.

“It’s up to you now.”

He said he didn’t “see the

point” of locking Wilson away, and it was better to come out of prison on a supervised order.

“There’s great reservations from the Office of Corrections.

You’ve been on 15 other supervised orders.

“You have got one of the most extensive criminal histories that people will see. You’re approaching 60. You’ve been to so many courts you probably wouldn’t remember many of the hearings.

“You have to come out at some point.”

Wilson’s 12-month community corrections order includes drug addiction and mental health treatment.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… NEW bins will start rolling out across Greater Dandenong this week.

Every residential household will receive new recycling, garden waste and garbage bins over the next three months as part of the Great Bin Swap.

The council will deliver recycling bins with yellow lids throughout July and collect all old recycling bins for recycling. It will replace garden waste bins in August and garbage bins in September.

DANDENONG Pavilion’s “decadent burger” last week took top spot in a list of Melbourne’s 10 best new burgers.

The Princes Highway venue serves up the McDowell, which pays homage to the classic Big Mac and is touted as a “standout”.

Its burger patties are a blend of premium Australian beef minced on-site, and we hear there’s a secret burger menu.

A MAN accused of breaching an intervention order repeatedly crossed swords with a Dandenong magistrate last week.

The magistrate at one stage warned the man to stop talking over him or he’d throw him out of court.

As the accused prepared to leave the court he uttered “f***ing hell”.

“What did you just say?” the magistrate thundered.

The accused meekly replied: “I just said I don’t understand what’s going on.”

As he silently departed the court, the man’s ears would have no doubt rung with a stern judicial warning: “If you swear or use inappropriate language in court, there’s a number of ways for me to deal with it.”

A DANDENONG magistrate sneaked off for a quick morning adjournment last Monday.

As a lawyer sagely explained to his puzzled client “even magistrates have to go to the toilet, mate”.

A TAXI security camera has captured graphic footage of a cab driver being robbed by a knife-wielding passenger in Dandenong North last month.

The images depict a rear passenger holding a knife to the driver’s throat while allegedly demanding cash and car keys on 21 May. The passenger had earlier flagged down the taxi at the corner of Kelvinside and Heatherton roads, Noble Park, at 6.20pm.

He instructed the driver to take him to Victoria Court, Dandenong North.

As the cab pulled over in the cul-de-sac, the driver was robbed of his cash and car keys at knifepoint.

crucifix necklace, escaped on foot. He was last seen on Carlton Road, Dandenong North.

ANTI-HOON crusader James Kerr has won over Greater Dandenong Council in his campaign for better street lighting in Five Ways industrial estate, Keysborough.

Mr Kerr, who had long campaigned for a CCTV network and lights to deter hoon drivers that have plagued the estate, was one of just two public submitters to the council’s 2014’15 draft budget.

At last Monday’s council meeting, corporate services director Mick Jaensch said the

council would “look to source funding” for improved lighting in the estate.

He said the funds would be found from either the 20132014 budget or the upcoming financial year budget.

Mr Kerr had requested funds for brighter lights on the roundabout at Keysborough and Carson avenues opposite his Red Roo Commerical Environmental Equipment business.

The extra lighting would help produce sharp CCTV foot-

age of night-time hooning to be forwarded to police.

“There’s one thing hoons don’t like and that is to be filmed on CCTV.” Mr Kerr has shot footage of several hoon drivers using some of his suite of 24/7 high-definition CCTV cameras pointed at the roundabout.

He has also enlisted neighbouring businesses to install onsite CCTV cameras as a further deterrent.

OF ALL its wins this season, Saturday’s victory over South Croydon meant the most for Noble Park.

Battling it out for four-yearold Zayne Anderson - one of its youngest fans who is undergoing leukaemia treatment - Noble Park rallied after a sluggish first-half to emphatically take a 43-point win over the Bulldogs.

Zayne - son of Bulls’ captain and ultimate clubman Craig Anderson - was carried off in his dad’s arms and sang the song proudly with the team before heading into the clubrooms for the ‘Shave a Bull Day’ festivities.

Anderson was in awe of the support for his family and Zayne - especially from other

clubs and across the Eastern Football League.

“It’s been overwhelming still can’t believe the support we’ve got from opposition and the club,” Anderson said.

“Everyone has got behind it and it’s for a good cause.”

The day meant the world to all Bulls on and off the field, with club president David Allan shaving his moustache for the cause.

“You could see how much it meant to the players and obviously the coach… the club as a whole is right behind it,” Allan said.

“It’s tough to see a young fella going through that, but collectively when everyone is pitching in to shave heads, paint heads and some people will shave their mos off, it’s a

sign of unity and its fantastic.”

The party went long into the night as face-painting, headshaving and decorating took place all to raise funds for a noble cause.

Zayne’s highlight was shaving ruckman Glen Manson’s beard, coloured gold (but looking orange) for the occasion.

The Anderson family Craig, Belinda, Zayne, Darci and Rydah - would like to thank Noble Park Football Club and everyone throughout the EFL who donated.

As of Sunday morning when the Journal went to print, Noble Park Football Club had raised $20,755.83 for the Leukaemia Foundation with more to be auctioned off at the club’s gala night later this year.

We don’t mind if you change our plans.

It’s called layout flexibility.

Arden Homes is a different sort of company creating very different homes.

Firstly, our homes are architect designed and inspired to bring a new sense of space, light and sweeping architectural proportions. You sense the difference immediately. Innovative sun courts, picture windows and full length windows and views that connect inside and out are hallmarks of our design. We insist on luxury standard inclusions such as porcelain tiles, Smeg appliances, Franke sinks, quality carpet, and stone benchtops throughout.

Secondly, we limit the number of houses we build, and are up-front about the pricing of display home extras.

“Arden let us swap rooms around so our new home is exactly as we want it.”

– Sharon and Michael, Croydon And best of all, we encourage layout flexibility. It means you can work with us to switch and swap rooms and features to suit your lot size, orientation and family needs.

Visit an Arden display to see and feel the difference. And ask us how we can tailor the design to make one of our stunning homes your unique dream home.

NEW HOMES & LAND

TOPS AT TIMBERTOP specialty stores and cafes.

The wetlands at the front of the estate will play a significant part in the lives of Timbertop residents and visitors.

The future restaurant/cafe (although temporary until the shopping centre is constructed), complete with outdoor seating, will overlook the wetland boardwalks, bridges, viewing platforms and bird-watching lookouts.

Darren Atkinson, Timbertop’s landscape architect has a vision that includes a walking track surrounding the wetland reserve that will connect the restaurant/cafe, amphitheatre, shelter and native planting.

“There will be many experiences as you travel around the lake and wetland,” he said.

There are also plans for another large park further into the estate. Timbertop Park offers stunning views extending over Officer, across the mountain ash forested foothill ranges, stretching out to Western Port Bay.

PAULINE AND GREG, NEW RESIDENTS.

discover the Mornington Peninsula’s fastest growing area land from $167,100

1142277-ACM27-14

Officer’s population is on the rise, with new residents moving into Timbertop Estate.

It’s set to increase even more over the coming months, as more land is settled and the construction of new homes begin.

The first of Timbertop’s residents finished construction of their new homes in April and moved into the estate the following week.

A steady stream of proud new home owners have been moving in ever since.

The vintage release is also anticipated to settle in the coming week.

The estate sales suite recently moved to the front of the estate down by the lake.

This site will be transformed into a restaurant/cafe overlooking the planned wetlands, once the sales team move into their new home currently being built in the new display village.

Opening in August, the display village is set to be the largest collection of display homes in the Officer-Pakenham corridor, with 27 new homes from many of Victoria’s largest builders, as well as local builders showcasing the latest in home design.

One thing Timbertop has done well, is to protect the community feel.

Within the estate a central hub is planned with a proposed shopping centre,

Environmentally-sensitive living close to schools, public transport, the marina and redeveloped foreshore precinct. Titled home sites are now available.

NEW HOMES & LAND

THE LAST BIG BLOCKS Since successfully launching its latest stage of premium, large allotments last month, Botanic Ridge Estate in the City of Casey is in the midst of buyer frenzy with purchasers vying over some of the very last ‘big blocks’ left in Melbourne’s south-east.

With surrounding developments only offering an average block size of 458 square metres, Botanic Ridge Estate is one of the last generously proportioned communities in the south east, boasting an average block size of 600 square metres, while a limited number of 700 square metre blocks are also available.

The project’s latest land release features 40 blocks ranging from 510 square metres to 1,128 square metres which start from just $210,000 and offer plenty of room to move.

Located in the suburb of Botanic Ridge, which was recently named one of the top 10 performing or ‘bulletproof’ suburbs in Victoria by the Australian Property Investment magazine, Botanic Ridge Estate has fast-tracked the release of its latest two stages within six short weeks of each other just to meet market demand.

Now as the estate moves into its final sales stages, Botanic Ridge Estate’s sales manager, Heather Noom said the days of purchasing a generously sized block in the south east were officially numbered.

“Purchasers in the market are starting to notice the scarcity of these larger blocks as many developers tend to only offer allotments in the 350 square metre to 450 square metre range.

“While in contrast we are selling a record number of larger-than-average allotments upwards of 600 or 700 square metres and the last two stages in particular have performed exceedingly well; stage 19 reached 50 per cent sold in record time, while 35 per cent of stage 20 has been

snapped up in a matter of weeks,” she said.

It seems Botanic Ridge’s residents have secured a strong investment in their family’s future, too, with RP Data recently recording a 15.4 per cent rise in the area’s median house price over the last 12 months.

Set upon beautifully undulating land and

offering a stunning environment surrounded by established parks, gardens and greenery, and coupled with the estate’s location adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne and Settlers Run Golf Course, Botanic Ridge offers a relaxed family lifestyle with an abundance of open space to enjoy.

With over 80 per cent of Botanic Ridge Estate’s residential land already sold,

these current land releases signify the end of an era for larger-than-average blocks in the south-east, so the developer is urging potential purchasers to inquire today before the last larger blocks are snapped up for good.

For more information on Botanic Ridge Estate, contact Heather in the sales office on 9785 9339 or head to http://www. botanicridge.com.au/

Quality adds weight to decade of gym service NITRO Gym, Hallam, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year - first opening its doors back in 2004.

Promotions manager Mike Jones said the gym offered the biggest range of quality equipment and great service.

He said the great thing about Nitro is that it was not a franchise and was family owned and operated.

Mike says the business is a gym and offers

personal training as well as merchandise, supplements, drinks and nutrition meals.

Nitro is all about providing great equipment and a safe environment in which to train - as well as very friendly and helpful staff. And while it has been going for 10 years it doesn’t look that old thanks to last year’s renovation.

“Most of our staff have been with us for the 10 years we have been open in Hallam,” Mike said.

“We pride ourselves in helping stay healthy and get fit.

“And all our machines are meticulously maintained.”

As a local paper offer, the gym is currently offering $5 casual training sessions and $50 a month membership.

Nitro Gym is located at Factory 3, 151-159 Princes Highway, Hallam, and is open 6am to 11pm Monday to Thursday, 6am to 10pm Friday and 8am to 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Hive of Dandenong creative activities ARTISTS in the City of Greater Dandenong now have their own networking forum after the launch of The Hive Creative Network earlier this month.

More than 50 artists gathered on Thursday 19 June for the official launch at the new municipal building.

City of Greater Dandenong co-ordinator of arts and cultural development Dr Sarah Dugdale said The Hive was an exciting initiative that would tap into the abundent creative talent in the city.

“The Hive will provide forums for the arts community to get together and network, share ideas and find people to collaborate with,” she said.

“We’ve had an artists’ network in the city for many years but it needed revitalising.

“It was also an opportunity for us to engage in social media in a way we hadn’t before.

“We have a Facebook page that will be regularly updated with information and events.”

Ms Dugdale said a dynamic part of the project would be encouraging artists to engage with each other, while art lovers would also find information on The Hive website about events in the city.

The launch brought together visual artists, videographers, musicians and performance artists.

Feedback suggestions included local artist talks, street art programs, more live music, public studio spaces for artists and opportunities to connect with other artists and promote current projects.

Ms Dugdale said the council already provided some of the initiatives suggested, such as public studio space, but the message was that opportunities for artists needed to be better publicised.

Councillor Matthew Kirwan, who lobbied for the The Hive concept, said being an artist could be “an isolating experience”.

He said there were “probably more artists (in

Scarf fashion all wrapped up HOW to wear a scarf from the playground to the boardroom was the question on the minds of women who gathered for a workshop at Madina Fashion in Dandenong during Refugee Week.

Shop owner Shila Navabi demonstrated special techniques to help women create unique, modern looks with scarves.

The workshop was a joint project between Madina Fashion and the Springvale Learning and Activities Centre.

Manager of the Springvale Learning and Activities Centre Elena Sheldon said that, unfortunately, many women experienced discrimination over their desire to wear a hijab at work.

“This workshop was a great opportunity to experiment with fashion.

“I probably would never consider shopping for clothes in cultural shops but I have to admit that this idea of a workshop and bringing together women of all

backgrounds changed my mind.

“It helped me open my mind and do some research.

“I can definitely see the potential of Islamic fashion for a lot of women.

“I can see some of the hijab styles fitting perfectly in the office or corporate board room.”

Future partnership projects between the SLAC and Madina Fashion will include more fashion workshops, plus small business management classes and mentoring for local women in small business.

“Running a small business is very challenging, it is 24/7 commitment and often leaves no time for us to stop, reflect, analyse and properly plan for the future.

“Pop-up classes run by SLAC in our shops will be a great opportunity for me and other women to improve their small businesses,” said Shila Navabi, the owner of Madina Fashion.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Delegates make the deals

By NARELLE COULTER A NUMBER of deals are on the negotiating table following the success of the first business conference on Afghanistan held in Australia.

The conference, held at Dandenong’s Punthill from 19 to 22 June, attracted nearly 100 delegates.

Organised by the Australian-Afghan Business Council, the event was designed to foster business opportunities between the two countries.

President of the Australian-Afghan Business Council Bashir Keshtiar said at least one Dandenong business was in talks about an export deal with an Afghan company as a result of the conference.

Fifty-five Afghan delegates attended the conference representing different sectors of the Afghan economy including education, agriculture, manufacturing and mining.

Mr Keshtiar said tangible results had already started to flow including

Among those who attended the business conference were, from left, president of the Australian Afghan Business Council Bashir Keshtiar, CEO of AISA Wafiullah Iftikhar, first vice-chairman of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries Khan Jan Alokozai, and the Afghan Deputy Minister for Information Picture: GARY SISSONS Muhammad Aimal Marjan. 122390 discussions about exporting milk power, other drink products and cattle to Afghanistan. An education committee has been formed to research the pos-

sibility of establishing an Australian university in Afghanistan.

The committee includes professors from both countries.

“We have been really, really pleased with the outcomes. The AustralianAfghan Business Council will monitor the progress of negotiations and

measure outcomes over the next 12 months,” Mr Keshtiar said.

“We’ve learnt a lot from this conference, which was significant because it made history as the first conference held that hasn’t been about military or humanitarian aid but about trying to bring the business communities together and foster economic relations between the two countries.”

Mr Keshtiar hopes the conference will become an annual event. He wants to hold it in different parts of Melbourne and eventually Sydney and other important Australian business locations. In the meantime the council will facilitate visits to Australia by Afghan delegations to harness the momentum created by the inaugural conference.

“We don’t want to wait for the annual conference. We want delegations representing education and agriculture to come throughout the year. There is so much opportunity.”

China trip signs up to build cultural connection

By CASEY NEILL BUSINESSES can join a trip to China designed to forge ties and create opportunities. City of Greater Dandenong is heading a business delegation to its sister city Xuzhou from 22 to 29 September.

The trip will include the 17th China Xuzhou Investment Fair, meetings with businesses in the region and time with AusTrade and the Victorian Government Business Office representatives in Shanghai. South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) chairman Simon Whiteley said China was emerging as an important regional player for business, trade and consumer opportunities between Australia and the Asia.

“Developing international contacts and connections with this region is vital in ensuring the longevity and future growth of Greater Dandenong’s manu-

facturing and business sector,” he said.

“Recent fluctuations in currencies and the rising costs of labour and utilities within Chinese factories have opened an opportunity for exporters.

“Many local manufacturers will now find they are competitive within the Chinese economy and the opportunities for them to be key players in these markets will only increase in line with the continuing economic development of China.”

Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti said the council had a well-established relationship with China through its sister city.

“Our long-standing relationship with Xuzhou provides local business with an unprecedented opportunity to tap into established overseas markets and harness emerging investment potential,” Cr

Memeti said. “Each of our trips to Xuzhou has highlighted the growing levels of wealth in China and a capacity for Chinese business owners to invest privately in foreign investment opportunities.

“The most important industries in Xuzhou are machinery, energy and food production.”

Cr Memeti said construction machinery manufacturer XCMG was based in Xuzhou, the third largest construction equipment producer in China and the 10th largest in the world.

The council’s business manager Paul Kearsley visited Xuzhou last July and returned for the China Xuzhou Investment Fair last September.

“With China it’s not about one trip,” he said.

“With the Chinese culture it’s about

trust and creating a relationship, and that’s something we have to educate some of our businesses about.

“You’re not going to go in one time and be offered the world.

“Opportunity might open up for our businesses to provide products or components to the Chinese market.

“There could be opportunities for companies to open up an office or factory in China.

“The third important part is seeing if we can get investment from them down here.”

Delegation members will be responsible for their own travel expenses, including airfares and accommodation.

Call Paul Kearsley on 8571 1000 for an expression of interest for or more information.

Cemetery on the move SPRINGVALE Botanical Cemetery’s operator has purchased a property on the facility’s western edge.

Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (SMCT) now owns 23 Smith Road, on the corner of McWilliam Street.

The factory was previously home to luggage manufacturer Samsonite, which relocated to Mulgrave last September.

SMCT declined to comment on the purchase or what it will use the land for.

Zac Jones his dream debut

By JARROD POTTER ETCHING his name into Sydney’s backline fraternity, former Dandenong Stingray Zak Jones could not have asked for a better AFL debut on Friday night.

Playing alongside mentors Nick Malceksi, Rhyce Shaw and Nick Smith - Jones, 19, from Mount Eliza, was granted his first chance to don the Sydney Swans jersey and run out onto the Melbourne Football Ground.

It was Jones’ dream debut - Friday night football against the Tigers, on the greatest ground in the AFL and getting to sing the song and cop the Gatorade shower as part of the celebrations.

“It was probably the most nervewracking thing for me ever,” Jones said.

“My excitement probably took over... I was so stoked to be able to take that opportunity and they said ‘you could play on the MCG this week’.

“That’s the only place I really wanted to debut and so happy that I have debuted there.”

In front of a sea of family, friends and die-hard Swans’ supporters, Jones earned his first step onto the field in the third quarter - substituted for Shaw - and earned a bounty of

six tackles and nine possessions in the 11-point victory.

“First moment of running out there and you hear the Swans crowd roar… the whole crowd - I can’t explain the feeling but it put goosebumps down my back from having dreamed about it since I was a kid,” Jones said.

“It was something I always wanted and eventually it coming true it’s pretty daunting and scary, but once you’ve past those points and hear everyone yelling and hear everyone chanting ‘Swans’ - it’s probably the best moment of my life at the moment.”

Fitting into the Swans culture has been easy for Jones with the help of the older players who always make the time to guide his development.

“Lot of mentors and speaking to senior boys to see what I could do to step up to the next level and they keep telling me to do the basics and you don’t have to do anything special,” Jones said.

“Nick Malceski and Rhyce Shaw have always been there to help me out and direct me in the right way those two are probably the main ones that have given me a lot of guidance.

“Nick Smith has also been unbelievable and is always there to help me watch footage of my reserves’ games… great to have people who are so welcoming and accepting at

Zak Jones (right) received an encouraging pat-on-the-back from fellow Swan Jarrad McVeigh following his AFL debut on Friday night - in Sydney’s 11-point win over Richmond. 122866 Picture: AFL PHOTOS the club.”

Consistency for the rest of the season is his only true objective - with the former TAC Cup hard-nut happy to do whatever is asked of him by the coaches.

“Personally I just want to keep playing consistent football and hold my spot in the team but I’ll do whatever it takes and see what happens from there,” Jones said.

“I don’t mind - it’s up to Johnny

Award just about the tennis

By JARROD POTTER TROPHIES and medals have always been part of champion tennis player Daniela Di Toro’s career - but a recently awarded accolade stands out as her most prized.

A former student at Dandenong-based St John’s College, five-time Paralympic wheelchair tennis player Di Toro, 39, was honoured to receive the Victorian Spirit of Tennis Award at Tennis Victoria’s awards’ dinner last week.

Accepting her award from last year’s winner, Colin Stubs, and joined by inaugural winner Frank Sedgman, Di Toro’s was recognised for her exceptional playing career as well as her work helping others recover from injury at the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre.

“I was pretty shocked to win the Spirit of Tennis Award,” Di Toro said.

“The list of the people who have won that (award) are amazing, incredible people who have been contributing to the game of tennis in this country and the world.

“You don’t think you’re making an impact, you just think you’re doing what you do, but it recognises a little bit of what I have done and it’s not just hitting

tennis balls.”

The significance of the award also struck Di Toro for a unique reason in an illustrious career full of achievements and honours - highlighted by nine consecutive Australian Wheelchair Tennis Open singles titles.

It was not an award based upon disability or given just to disabled athletes.

“For me it was one of the few awards that I’ve won that makes no mention of my disability,” Di Toro said.

“It’s just my name on a Spirit of Tennis board - it’s quite profound and it’s dawning on me more and more.

“It’s pretty rare to be recognised like that and it’s a humbling honour.”

Despite being a former world number one, and multiple Australian Wheelchair Tennis Open winner, Di Toro has been overlooked for other awards in the past which she puts down to a divide between able-bodied and wheelchair tennis.

“My results on paper should be compared to whomever else’s,” Di Toro said.

“The first year the Newcomb Award came out Sam Stosur won it - and she absolutely deserved it, don’t get me wrong - but that year I finished number two in the

world while she finished number four and I think we were comparable in titles that we won.

“I won the disability award that year, but my great ambition is so that any other player who comes onto the tour, it’s not about putting them in the disability category, but to see their game for what it is.

“My thing has always been about to create an integration and inclusion aspect so it’s just about tennis.”

Di Toro believes her time in the top ranks of tennis is over, with no aspirations for the Rio Paralympics having sustained a chemical burn in recent years that has shifted her gaze to table tennis.

She wanted to thank countless coaches and administrators who strived to better promote wheelchair tennis.

“This award is really clearly a result of so many people having an impact for so many years,” Di Toro said.

“Tennis Victoria in particular has actually backed the players of this sport for so very long.

“It’s a real shout out to those men and women of the last 3040 years who had a vision for tennis in this state and I guess that’s impacted the rest of the country as a result.”

(coach John Longmire) and he makes the shots and I just listen to him!”

Jones and his beloved Swans take on Greater Western Sydney in the local derby on Saturday night.

SPORT Eastern Football League - round 11

Bulls chase off Dogs

Strong wind puts match to Cannons

By JARROD POTTER TAC Cup - round 12

Shayne Allan belts the ball away from South Croydon’s Picture: JARROD POTTER John Del Giudice. 122998

By JARROD POTTER DOING it for their captain and friend, Noble Park shook off South Croydon to earn a hard-fought 43-point win for Craig Anderson and his family.

Anderson excelled on Shave a Bull Day - a celebration organised by the club for his son Zayne and his battle with leukaemia - kicking two goals and leaving the Bulldogs’ midfielders chasing him all match.

The match was left at a deadlock through the first half as Noble Park and South Croydon traded blows to leave the Bulls only one-goal ahead.

Noble Park smashed South Croydon through the third term - thumping on five-goals-nine as the match started to slip from the Bulldogs’ grasp.

As darkness enveloped Pat Wright Sr Reserve, with the lights turned on for the final term, Noble Park kept the visitors at bay to seize a deserved 13.16 (94) to 7.9 (51) triumph.

Sharing the goals around - Anderson and Shayne Allan bagged a pair each while nine other goal kickers got among the scoresheet as celebrations started early.

Zayne Anderson was a welcome addition to the Bulls’ huddle after the match as they belted out the song for the fifth time this year and crucially to keep their final’s chances intact.

Noble Park coach Jon Knight praised his captain and said his captain’s character is why he is beloved at the club and everyone is willing to pitch in to help Zayne.

“His commitment to this footy club and his mates is outstanding and every time I see him at training he gives 100 per cent… he’s such an honest bloke,” Knight said.

“That’s why he’s got such a big following of people here at this footy club.”

Brett Dore, Clay McCartney and Glen Manson all won their positions through the central part of the ground but the big winner out of the day was the re-emergence of Piva Wright as a defender.

Wright had the unenviable task of shutting down league-leading goal kicker Jason Eagle, but savoured his task as he kept the full forward to only two goals - his equal lowest return this season.

“Looking at the size of their forwards, I thought it would be interesting to have him line up on someone who was bigger than him and as quick,” Knight said.

“Perfect position for Piva as he can get a rest and we’ve been hurting him with the aerobic capacity stuff in the ruck.

“I was really confident he’d be able to do ok on him (Eagle), but he was able to lift even further and was sensational.”

The win brings Noble Park back to within a match-and-a-half of the top five with the big challenge waiting this weekend as it vies with unbeaten Norwood at Moodemere St. For more on Shave a Bull Day go to page 14.

A WOEFUL day beset Springvale Districts as the home side conceded a 58-point loss to Oakleigh District. Gavin Vassallo, Jackson Bolch and David Monaghan were the best of the Demons bunch.

LYNDALE snared the points in the crosstown showdown against Dandenong, taking a 10.13 (73) to 7.5 (47) victory. A five-goal third term pushed Lyndale ahead with Trevor Kumetaitis and Trent Day (2 goals each) leading the charge. Brodie O’Laughlin (2 goals) was Dandenong’s best alongside Stephen Young and Rob Mackwell.

Sandown impressed against league heavyweights Carrum Patterson Lakes, but ran out of puff in the final term. The Lions roared past the Cobras to steal a 15-point win with Jason Toan (2 goals), John Frenken and Matt Menzies the best for Sandown.

King for a day... maybe just THE heroic efforts of 12 months earlier lasted for a half on Saturday as Keysborough got handed an 83-point defeat by Cranbourne at Rowley Allen Reserve.

The Burra, who pulled off the surprise of the 2013 Casey Cardinia league season with a gallant three-point victory over the Eagles at Casey Fields, were competitive early, before fading in the second half.

Strengthened by the return of key forward Tyson King, Jayke Hopkins and Tom Armstrong, the Burra trailed by 16-points at quarter time before producing one of their

A WORRISOME wind left the Stingrays chasing all day against Calder Cannons.

Gale-force winds at the notorious Highgate Reserve beset both sides, with the Cannons able to do the previously impossible kick multiple goals into the wind in the final term to run out 29-point victors.

Dandenong kicked four goals in the final term, with Jack Wheeler (2 goals) leading the way, but was at Calder’s mercy as the Cannons fired three of their own to clinch the victory.

Hard-nut Alex Harnett was best afield after playing the majority of the match with a broken hand. Also impressing were Tom Glen, stand-in captain Jake Wilson and firstgamer Jordan Rouse.

“Our first quarter was as good of a first quarter we’ve played all year - playing into the breeze,” Stingrays coach Craig Black said.

“I think we were still a chance at threequarter-time.

“We were five goals down, but it was a pretty strong breeze and they took the momentum away from us - in the last quarter they kicked three goals into the breeze - and it was a bit disappointing in the end.”

Falling back into the logjam - with teams from third to seventh on 24 points - the sixth placed Stingrays will face Murray Bushrangers at home on Saturday from 1pm.

best quarters of the season.

The Burra went toe-to-toe with the grand finalist of the last three years, kicking 5.1 to 6.1 to trail by 22 points at the main break, despite King’s short-lived return finishing before half-time as he injured his left knee in a marking contest.

Cranbourne lifted their tempo in the second half, their 26 scoring shots to five a reflection of their dominance.

The hard-running Geoff Humphreys kicked three, and was the Burra’s best player, while Luke Damato and Davor Rajic were other multiple contributors with two apiece.

Big-man Bryce Sutton, skipper Ryan Goodes and the inform Danny Morland were

also good while Cranbourne skipper Marc Holt returned to his best form with a sevengoal haul.

In other games, Pakenham jumped to third on the ladder with a grinding 19-point victory over Berwick, Narre Warren showed the gulf between itself and the rest with a 114-point thrashing of fifthplaced Beaconsfield, while Doveton and ROC showed they’re the best two teams outside the top-five with victories over Tooradin and Hampton Park respectively.

The Burra travels to Pakenham this Saturday, for part-one of a split round 12, before a week off as it prepares for Narre Warren.

BRAVELY fighting til the final siren, St John’s could not halt wayward Old Eltham Collegians in the 15-point loss. Darryn O’Connor and Kane Arnold led the JOCs charge, but the visitors were unable to halt the old boys’ charge. Sitting sixth in Division 2, St John’s can rebound this weekend against Ivanhoe at home.

SPORT SEABL - round 13

Supercats eradicated

The next generation

By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG’S rise up the SEABL ladder claimed another highcalibre victory as the Rangers bested ladder-leading Geelong.

Chasing down the fast-starting Supercats, Dandenong charged back into the match with a fourpronged attack snaring the points.

Although the Dandenong offence was impressive, the match was won in the back-half as the Rangers restricted the Supercats to 31 points after half-time and forced the visitors to concede 17 turnovers.

Tony Lewis (27 points, 11 rebounds) proved stellar once again with Daequon Montreal (16 points, 7 rebounds), Andrew Harms (15 points) and Owen Odigie (10 points) all recording double figures.

The Rangers sit third in SEABL East with an 11-5 record and travel to Ballarat on Saturday.

It was a two-win weekend for the Rangers as the women knocked off Geelong 78-60 in the opening match of the double-header. Dandenong’s centre tandem Lauren Scherf (20 points, 6 rebounds) and Jacinta Kennedy (19 points, 11 rebounds) led the attack from baseline to baseline.

Clare Papavs dished off a whopping seven assists and Amelia Todhunter (13 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists) also racked up stats across the box-score.

It gives the Rangers women a 13-2 record heading into their clash with the Ballarat Rush.

basketball - they had outstanding results in the testing and did quite well in the football trial as well,” AFL Victoria Engagement Manager Xavier Moloney said.

“He (Toumpas) was very impressed and very excited for some of these boys being a part of the Jimmy Toumpas squad going forward.

“We know there’s still a long way to go but through the Stingrays’ program we want to increase participation of the multicultural community and it will have a flow-on effect to community and grassroots’ football.”

The program will run from July until September and include leadership development delivered

by Reach (www.reach.org.au) which will involve a curriculum with sessions on communication, decision making and resilience.

The first session is 10 July at Shepley Oval.

ST JOHN’S College was transformed into an elite football testing facility on Monday as AFL player Jimmy Toumpas scouted the next generation of multicultural champion footballers.

The AFL Victoria Multicultural Program and Dandenong Stingrays conducted a session at the college to identify players from a multicultural or indigenous background and help elevate the area’s football talent.

With 40 students participating in the trial, which tested their athletic capabilities and football instincts, the session’s identified participants will be invited to participate in the Jimmy Toumpas Squad which will involve training one night a week with the Dandenong Stingrays.

“Considering that all the boys come from a variety of different sports - especially soccer and

CITY of Greater Dandenong Council has struck a major funding deal for Edinburgh Reserve.

In a boon for Sandown Cobras Football Netball Club, the City of Greater Dandenong will commence close to a million dollars’ worth of renovations on the ageing Springvale-based pavilion and change rooms at the end of the football season.

The new pavilion will feature an enclosed viewing area, undercover shelter, commercial-grade kitchen and modernised change rooms.

City of Greater Dandenong Lightwood Ward councillor Sean O’Reilly said the pavilion renovations will be a great addi-

tion to the Springvale community and especially for the Cobras going into the 2015 season and beyond.

“This club has shown, and the leadership has shown, it has a great business plan to take it forward,” Cr O’Reilly said.

“Council is supporting a local facility and we don’t support particular clubs but in this case it’s a great bonus that we have such a strong club as the Sandown Cobras that are looking to kick more and more goals in the future.”

Sandown Cobras’ general manager Brett Phillips said the eagerly awaited pavilion upgrade will help push the team up the Southern Football League ladder.

“It means the world to the club,” Phillips said.

“It means we can be a serious player going forward and the long-term ambition of the club is to continue climbing the SFL Division 3 ladder.”

“This was the number-one project when I came here, that seriously if we were going to be a long-term, sustainable, good footy club, we needed the facilities to match.”

It is the second major announcement for Edinburgh Park this year with $110,000 of combined funding set to install match-lighting at the venue.

Sandown Cobras FNC wanted to thank the City of Greater Dandenong for it’s support to redevelop the reserve’s facilities.

Sandown Cobras FNC general Manager Brett Phillips and Lightwood Ward councillor Sean O’Reilly believe Edinburgh Reserve renovations will make its mark on the Springvale community. 122993 Picture: JARROD POTTER
