■ Refugee’s threat to government workers and office stemmed from ...

Burning issues A TRAUMATISED former asylum-seeker was last week placed on a good behaviour bond after threatening Department of Human Services staff in Dandenong with a bottle of petrol and a cigarette lighter.

Bahaa Altarfy, 28, had threatened to “burn down the place” if he didn’t secure a public housing property “by the end of the day” during a meeting at the Thomas Street building on 29 August, police prosecutor Tanique McFarlane told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Altarfy returned for an appointment on 2 January “with the tools to facilitate the threat”, producing a water bottle containing petrol and lighter. Using an interpreter, he told “scared” DHS workers that the bottle contained petrol.

“You should know what happens,” he said through an interpreter - prompting an officer to push the duress button.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said “the circumstances in which you came to Australia are highly relevant to the circumstances you’re in now”. Before his arrival, Altarfy had been under “constant threat” from an Iraqi militia and the “subject of severe abuse” in his homeland.

Altarfy fled Iraq after the same militia group killed his brother.

While coming to Australia, Altarfy survived a “very tragic incident” at Christmas Island.

Many of those who died were relatives and close friends of his.

Mr Vandersteen found those events led to the accused’s “multitude of mental health issues” and to his “unacceptable” threats to DHS staff.

“You’ve witnessed things that no human should witness such as bombings, shootings and other brutalities. There is irony in what you did, given your background in that you yourself have been threatened to be hurt by others.”

Altarfy’s lawyer said her client was “clearly in a distressed state” at the time of his threats.

“He thought DHS wasn’t paying attention to him. He didn’t intend to hurt other people, necessarily, but for people to pay attention to him. He is very remorseful for what happened during that day.

“He has a lot of supports to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”

The court was told Altarfy was getting neardaily mental health treatment and counselling for torture, trauma and gambling issues from Foundation House, ERMHA and an Arabicspeaking psychologist.

Constable McFarlane said the prosecution was seeking a community corrections order rather than a good behaviour bond, though acknowledging Altarfy had endured a “horrible history”.

Mr Vandersteen said adding a community corrections order might over-burden the accused and cause his extensive support system to “fall over”.

Altarfy was convicted and handed a twoyear good behaviour bond on condition that he continued treatment and counselling at Foundation House and ERMHA. Mr Vandersteen said: “You must recognise there are many people willing and able to assist you.”

‘Bloody shocking’ train increase plan

By CASEY NEILL NEW train services on the Dandenong rail line will bring traffic to a standstill, a Greater Dandenong councillor fears.

“It’ll probably be quicker to walk now,” Cr Roz Blades said last week.

From 27 July, trains will run every 20 minutes instead of 30 minutes between 9am and 4.30pm on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines.

These lines connect to the Dandenong line, which will now see trains every 10 minutes between peak periods and every three to four minutes during peak.

The upgrade provides two extra services in the morning peak on the Dandenong corridor, and two extra services in the evening peak times.

“It sounds good when you first hear it,” Cr Blades said.

“It’s bloody shocking news.

“I don’t know how anybody’s going to get around Greater Dandenong with trains at that capacity.

“Putting more trains on already overcrowded rail is a recipe for disaster.”

Last week, she waited for seven trains at the Heatherton Road crossing.

“You’ll have to leave home 15 minutes earlier,” she said.

“Nobody has given it any thought at all.

“What about emergency vehicles? How are they going to cope?”

A spokesperson for Public Transport and Roads Minister Terry Mulder said most of the new train services were during the middle of the day, “minimising the impact on

level crossing removals at Corrigan, Heatherton and Chandler Roads in Noble Park, Grange Road in Carnegie and Poath Road in Murrumbeena,” they said.

The timetable improvements take effect on 27 July. Timetables will be available in advance at www. ptv.vic.gov.au.

The spokesperson said boom gates delayed road users.

“That is why we are undertaking the $2-$2.5 billion Cranbourne-Pakenham Rail Corridor Project, which will remove level crossings at Murrumbeena Road, Koornang Road, Clayton Road and Centre Road, as well as planning funding for future

Teacher batters wife

By JESSE GRAHAM A DANDENONG High School teacher has been fined and placed on a good behaviour bond after fronting court charged with making a threat to kill his wife.

Paul Cheung appeared at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 1 July to face two charges of recklessly causing injury and one charge of making threats to kill.

The court heard on 10 November last year, Cheung and his wife had an altercation over the cost of a Costco membership, which resulted in him allegedly choking his wife and threatening to kill her.

On 22 November, Cheung’s wife - a recentlyimmigrated Chinese national who does not possess a phone - had been out for the day and not contactable.

The police officer said an argument broke out when she returned home.

This time, Cheung told his wife he was taking her to the police and took her forcefully to a neighbour’s house.

However, Cheung’s lawyer said that his client reacted in the first instance because the wife was threatening to jump out of a window - he argued that he was trying to restrain her to stop her from killing herself.

In the second instance, it was said that Cheung’s wife threatened to run away, so Cheung said he would go to the police before that happened. The lawyer said that Cheung’s reactions to these situations came out of frustration and unfamiliarity with the situation, adding his client did not have a criminal history.

Magistrate Marc Sargent issued no formal conviction on the charges against Cheung, and placed him on a 12-month good behaviour bond, with a $2000 fine.

Mr Sargent said he did not take the charges lightly.

“Normally, I would not entertain such a thought for a serious offence, such as making threats to kill,” he said.

“These charges are very serious ... with potentially very long jail terms.

“While you didn’t handle it well, it must have been a difficult situation to manage.”

Cheung was fined $2000 and placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Speaking out about migrant violence A GREATER Dandenong councillor and immigration lawyer has spoken out on the rising scourge of family violence in migrant communities.

Heang Tak writes in this week’s Community Voice column that migrant communities “suffer the most” from family violence.

He said the consequences could include a partner and children being left without an income and facing deportation.

On the other hand, he has known of wives “cynically” taking full intervention orders against

their husband to fast-track their two-year wait for permanent residency.

Mr Tak said more education was needed among new and emerging communities on the issue.

“Prevention is better than the cure.”

Denise Goldfinch, of Springvale Community Aid and Advice Bureau, said family violence had recently muscled into the bureau’s “top five” most common issues raised by clients.

According to police statistics, there were more than 850 family violence assaults reported in

Greater Dandenong in the 12 months up to March.

As recently as last year, there were an estimated 400 intervention order applications at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court each month.

She said the violence was increasing across all communities “mainstream established” ones as well as new arrivals. Mental health and financial stress were rising factors, Ms Goldfinch said.

“There’s been a lot of talk that violence is just accepted in different communities. That’s not our experience,” Ms Goldfinch said.

“People generally don’t

want family members - their women and children - to be unsafe.”

Victoria Legal Aid family violence education co-ordinator Allyson Foster runs a Settled and Safe program, which hosts open discussions on family violence and child protection in a way that’s accessible to new arrivals.

“What they struggle with is what is the appropriate intervention.

“They don’t have knowledge and trust in the system. They think intervention means the end of their relationship and the end of their family.”

Migrant family violence FAMILY violence doesn’t happen just in migrant communities, but they suffer the most.

As recently as last year, there were an estimated 400 intervention order applications at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court each month.

As an immigration lawyer, many of my clients have wrongly thought family violence was confined to physical acts.

They were brought up in their home countries to believe intimidating behaviour or putting a bit of pressure on their partners was OK. Such behaviour is not tolerated in Australia, but it’s happening in great numbers and often goes unreported.

When involved with migration law, the matters can become particularly murky.

In the case where an intervention order is taken out, the offending husband may be kicked out of the house.

When that happens, it is the newly-arrived wife and children who may be left without an income.

I know of cases where husbands can pressure

mestic stress. Often the wife is isolated at home without family and friends, while the husband works.

She comes to Australia with high expectations but she’s left at home alone in a new culture.

She becomes depressed, which influences relations between husband and wife.

If a sponsored partner is unable to find work, they are unable to get welfare benefits for two years – which also places pressure on their sponsor.

As an immigration lawyer, we don’t want to see family violence happen. We want to see happy endings.

The council, police and law agencies have done a lot so far but should do more to educate new and emerging communities.

After all, prevention is better than the cure.

I don’t want to discourage people reporting this to police.

But if there’s more community education on these issues, perhaps there will be fewer breaches in the first place and fewer going to court.

wives, who are on a partner visa, by threatening to withdraw sponsorship of the wife unless they do as he wants.

Under the visa, the wife would have to be sponsored by her husband for two years before qualifying for permanent residency.

If sponsorship is withdrawn before that point, she faces deportation.

On the other hand, I believe a number of sponsored wives have cynically sought full intervention orders against the husband in an attempt to shortcut their two-year wait for permanent residency.

Burn-out for baby POLICE caught a driver performing a burnout in Dandenong South last week – with a passenger in the front seat and an infant in the back.

Frankston police saw the driver, 25, perform the manoeuvre near National Drive about 11.15pm on 1 July.

They intercepted the car and spoke to a probationary driver.

A vehicle check uncovered two unroadworthy tyres, a broken engine mount, a number of cracked light covers, no grill and a damaged front bumper.

Police impounded the vehicle and passed on $813 in towing costs to the driver. They also interviewed him for driving in a dangerous manner, careless driving, improper use of a motor vehicle, using an unroadworthy vehicle and driving without headlights.

He will be charged on summons.

50 years ago 8 July 1964 Governor attends St James’ ceremony WHEN the Governor, Sir Rohan Delacombe, attened St James’ Church of England Dandenong, last Sunday, it was exactly 100 years since an earlier Governor attended the same church in an official capacity.

On July 5 1864 , the Governor then in office, Sir Charles Darling, visited Dandenong to lay the foundation stone of the picturesque church.

When Sir Rohan and Lady Delacombe arrived they were warmly welcomed by the Vicar, Rev Egan

Eggleston and were later greeted by a guard of honour formed by St James’ 9th Scout Group.

The morning was crisp and clear, pale wintery sunshine illuminating the beautiful floral church decorations, the artistic handiwork of Miss M. Brumley and the ladies of the Sanctuary Guild, assisted by Mrs Ian Hart. White and gold was the prominent theme.

Mr Erie Nye played the organ and conducted the augmented choir.

The first lesson Genesis 28 verses 12 to the end was read by the Mayor Cr A.C. Downard, the second by His Excellency from St Matthew 7.

The council adopted a five per cent rate rise in its $146.75 million budget.

Silverleaf Ward councillor John Kelly said the budget was “one of the better ones I’ve come across”.

“Our budget revenue is about $140 million, which probably makers us one of the biggest businesses in the city.

Disabled keep the kids

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS MICHELLE de Hommel was taken aback when she was told by a politician that she shouldn’t have had kids.

Another told her to find an old lady to play “grandmother”.

An elderly man asked her bluntly how she had sex.

“I told him I know more positions than you ever had,” Ms de Hommel retorted.

The Kooweerup mother and head of the Dandenong-based Disability Action South-East group says she has suffered these indignities because she happens to have a disability - in her case, multiple sclerosis.

“If my teenagers were yelling and running around in the backyard, people would think I couldn’t control them because I’m a woman in a wheelchair.”

There were struggles but she said she raised six children with success the eldest is in Vietnam on a teaching scholarship.

However, there’s an over-representation of parents with a disability who, instead of being supported, have had their children removed.

These broken families include “parents who have children taken from them for no reason at all”, she said.

With her own children grown up and time on her hands, Ms de Hommel has helped found a statewide support and advocacy group, Parents With a Disability.

One of the group’s aims is to beat what she says is discrimination against its members.

This month, it meets for the first time in Dandenong.

A member of Parents With a Disability said he and his partner had never contacted the Department of Human

Michelle de Hommel says parents with disabilities need more support, rather than their children removed.

Another speaks of fighting court battles to reclaim a daughter who had been taken by Child Protection workers in the middle of the night.

The single mum, who has since been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, was wrongly characterised as mentally ill. Instead of getting help to manage Asperger’s, she was found unfit to parent.

In the 2011 report ‘Forgotten Families’ commissioned by disability care provider Yooralla and disability rights advocate Valid, it was estimated that

40-60 per cent of parents with a disability had their children taken away.

“Despite current research, many service providers and community members still hold stereotypical and discriminatory beliefs that parents with a disability are a danger to their children and will never be good parents,” the report stated.

“Families are not able to access advocacy services in a timely manner and from staff who are adequately trained and funded to provide assistance across all services and systems.”

‘Credit card’ knife to court The woman had been in a relationship that “started quite well” but had degenerated to a “seriously abusive” one, her lawyer told the court on Monday.

“A friend was so concerned that she gave her the weapon to put in her purse to protect her from him.”

The partner had breached an intervention order protecting the woman several times, leading to agenicies making a number of welfare checks.

He was jailed for 12 months last September for stabbing one of his friends, the lawyer said.

Magistrate Jack Vander-

RELOCATION FLOOR CLEARANCE

steen placed the woman on a good-behaviour bond without conviction, noting her lack of prior convictions and her cooperation with police.

He said the offence was especially serious because the knife - being plastic and disguised as a credit card - had the potential to go through the screening device undetected.

“No reason can be acceptable for carrying any kind of weapon,” he said.

“The chances are it could be used inappropriately. It can lead to serious offending ... and can be used against you.”

A WOMAN who tried to attend court with a foldingknife disguised as a credit card said she kept the weapon as protection from an abusive ex-partner.

The woman, who has several chronic health problems, was handed a good behaviour bond at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday.

The plastic knife had been detected in the woman’s handbag during a routine screening

by Dandenong Magistrates’ Court security staff about 10.20am on 15 April.

At the time, the woman told police she’d forgotten the knife was in her purse.

2013 called for changes to the Family Law Act to state that disability is not “per se” a barrier to parenting.

There was also a state obligation to provide these families with adequate support, it stated.

What needs to change is the state’s attitude, Ms de Hommel said.

More children should have the right to grow up in their original family unit, rather than be removed into state care, foster care or to their extended family such as grandparents.

The result would be intact family units and happier, better-adjusted children, she said.

Ms de Hommel said little had im-

proved since the 2011 report called for more accessible training and services for parents with disabilities - or even since her own battles with care providers since the 1980s.

She said she was denied her request for two hours a week of extra home help, such as cooking for her children.

Instead of granting extra home help, her case manager told her to wean her baby off breastfeeding and send the child to day care.

“That’s when I had a flare-up (of MS). I was breastfeeding on the floor and I had five other kids.

“I said I just need assistance with the younger ones. They said ‘there’s always foster care’.”

A DHS spokesman said, “a range of risk factors and parental characteristics” are looked at when assessing each parent’s capacity.

He said training had been provided to child protection workers across the state to support parents with a disability involved with child protection.

“When a child is reported to Child Protection and their parent is known to have a disability, Child Protection will consult with Disability Services to find out if the parent is a registered client, and discuss the best way to support them.”

He said $128 million had been provided over four years to strengthen Child FIRST, Cradle to Kinder and Stronger Families programs for vulnerable children and their families.

Parents With a Disability meets at Greater Dandenong Civic Centre, meeting room two on 18 July, from 10am-1.30pm.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…

U3A bearing up well SICK children on their way to hospital will be able to cuddle up to a knitted teddy bear, thanks to the Dandenong branch of U3A. Ambulance Victoria representative David Gray gratefully received an army of colourful teddy bears made by U3A’s knitting and crochet class on 26 June.

Crochet instructor Lorraine Bishop said the knitting class had been hard at work for the past three months, led by Marjorie Allen who wields her needles for many different charities.

“Ninety per cent of our class had never made a bear before and two students didn’t know how to knit, so it was a steep learning curve for some,” Ms Bishop said.

“That’s what the University of the Third Age is about - learning new things to keep our minds and bodies active in retirement.”

Ms Bishop said making each bear involved reading and interpreting the pattern, sewing seams, learning how to stuff properly and embroidering the face.

The knitting and crochet class meets every Thursday afternoon for two hours. The classes resume after the semester break on 31 July.

The Dandenong U3A office is in the Paddy O’Donohue Centre, Buckley Street, Noble Park. Classes are conducted at various locations around Dandenong.

THE Journal was thrilled to receive well-wishes from its readers following its Community Newspapers of Australia award win.

James Hall took to Facebook with the message “Always has been, still is, a great local newspaper!” and Georgie Mcleod said “Congratulations, fantastic news.” Former Dandenong Retail Traders Association chairman Roy Aspinall also phoned with his congratulations. For anyone who missed it in last week’s edition, the Journal was awarded the Best Newspaper (circulation over 50,000) at CNA’s southern division awards night on 27 June.

“A peace-loving animal like her deserves a peaceful departure, I think.”

The man received what was supposed to be a 12-month good-behaviour bond, but found it was dated to expire the next day.

Court staff sent him back to the magistrate, who corrected the order’s date expiry to 1 July, 2015.

Warning do not sign any contract until you see us We will beat any genuine quote Temple worshippers Gia Ng Truong and Tony Fung with non-smoke incense sticks Picture: WAYNE HAWKINS introduced last year. 1123272

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A TEMPLE squeezed into a house in Springvale has won a planning appeal to cram in more worshippers.

The Chin Lien Quan Yin temple at 56 Queens Avenue after being knocked back twice

by Greater Dandenong Council - was granted the right to host up to 50 worshippers every second Sunday by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

The eight-year-old temple last year promised to end some practices that irritated neighbours, such as all-day karaoke opera singing, on-site curry cook-ups, parking over driveways and next to fire hydrants, and thick plumes of incense smoke.

Chin Lien Chinese Association of Victoria Australia honorary advisor Stan Chang said he “knew the council was wrong from day one”.

He vowed karaoke and cooking would remain barred

from the temple, and nonsmoke incense and exhaust fans to disperse incense fumes would continue to be used.

“There will be nothing outside of the main activity of the temple ... which is worshipping.

“We’ve made a lot of concessions. To conduct a longterm operation you have to put these measures in place.”

The VCAT hearing was told the council’s officers had observed “on at least one occasion” more visitors than the permitted 15.

Tribunal senior member Laurie Hewet stated that objector Corine Trimble and the council identified overflow car parking and traffic congestion as an “issue of major concern” on those occasions.

Greater Dandenong councillors had voted down the proposal in June 2013, citing a lack of on-site parking and a lack of space for worshippers in the temple.

Mr Hewet said car parking

beyond the 10 on-site spaces was “capable of being accommodated ... within immediate vicinity of the site, including on-street parking.”

He stated that increasing the venue’s attendance from 15 worshippers to 50 for two Sundays a month was a “small proportion” of the site’s total use.

Ms Trimble - whose house is little more than a metre from the temple - had acknowledged a reduction in the “incidence and severity of odours” due to the temple’s initiatives, Mr Hewet stated.

“I am not persuaded that the conduct of the applicant in relation to previous non-compliances prevents me from assuming that permit conditions ... will be complied with.”

Mr Hewat required a management plan to control on and off-site parking, to ensure no more than 50 attendees and for methods to minimise odours escaping to neighbouring properties.

Night sex attack probe POTENTIAL witnesses have been asked to help track down an attacker who indecently assaulted a woman on Heatherton Road, Noble Park, on Monday night.

Police said the 30-year-old woman was attacked in front of a medical centre near the corner of Dunblane Road shortly after 9pm.

She had been returning home from Noble Park Railway Station.

Her attacker approached her and started talking to her, touch-

ing her and blocking her path.

The woman retreated out of concern for her safety, before the assailant grabbed her by the hand and neck and indecently assaulted her.

She fell to the ground where the man continued to sexually assault her.

The woman escaped after “kicking out” at the man, who fled by crossing to the south side of Heatherton Road and running westwards towards a nearby reserve.

Park spruce-up

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE ever-rising reputation of the crime-afflicted Menzies Reserve in Dandenong North has been given a $250,000 state funding injection.

South-eastern Metropolitan MP Inga Peulich announced the public safety grant to Greater Dandenong council last week towards a project that will install new toilets, paths, signage, seating, lighting, shade sails and community garden beds at the reserve.

“With the strong support of council, this project will help to make our community safer and deliver better outcomes for everyone in the area,” Mrs Peulich said.

One of the ideas behind the beautification is the more peo-

ple attracted to the reserve, the safer people feel.

New landscaping will improve sightlines - or the “natural surveillance” of the reserve.

The precinct had been identified by police two years ago as one of four high-risk public areas in Greater Dandenong.

The others are Hemmings Park, Dandenong Railway Station and Dandenong Plaza.

Inspector Bruce Kitchen said crime at the Menzies Avenue precinct had reduced after CCTV cameras were installed at the reserve’s senior citizens club and other recent improvements to the reserve.

As a new sign of the times, the senior citizens club’s once graffiti-marred walls were last week free of tags.

“With this extra money, the council is going to work with police to come up with better environmental designs to build on this reduction in crime.”

Mayor Jim Memeti said the council had invested about $1 million into transforming the reserve and shopping precinct in recent times.

It had improved the playground, and basketball court area, installed a barbecue shelter, landscaping, CCTV and a “strong graffiti management program”, Cr Memeti said.

“I remember there used to be graffiti on a lot of shops and halls around here. Now you can hardly see any.”

The result was a boost in local pride and perceived safety, he said.

Secret of crossing

By CASEY NEILL NOBLE Park Aquatic Centre is “the best kept secret in Melbourne�.

Paul Hoffman is using the pool and Dandenong Oasis for training to prepare for a swim across the English Channel and couldn’t speak of it more highly. “I’ve gone there to do a 10-kilometre pool session and had the whole pool to myself,� he said. “It’s the most under-used pool in Melbourne.�

Long-distance swimmer Tammy van Wisse, who has swum one and a half times around the world, also gave NPAC the tick of approval.

She regularly trains there alongside Mr Hoffman and his coach - her brother John van Wisse.

Four hours of vomiting ended Mr Hoffman’s previous attempt to swim across the English Channel in July 2012.

Next month the Selby man will do it all again, hoping for a happier ending. “It was a bucket list sort of thing I wanted to do and didn’t get there last time,� he said.

He doesn’t remember being pulled from the water, eight hours and 30 kilometres after setting off from Dover, England, for France. “It didn’t end well. I was pretty sick,� he said.

But the swim raised thousands of dollars for StarBright - a learning exchange program supporting AIDS and HIV-affected orphans in Cape Town’s slums and shanty towns.

He’s hoping this attempt will again drum up donations for the charity. “That’s a reward in itself,� he said.

It took Mr Hoffman a few months to start enjoying swimming again, but he has since taken on open water swims including The Bloody Big Swim from Frankston to Mornington, a Rye to Portsea swim with Iceberger group Black Ice, and the Rottnest Channel Swim.

He’s stepping up his training and will fly out on 24 July for his swim window, from 28 July to 2 August.

The swim from England to France is 34 kilometres in a straight line. “The challenge you have is the current is push-

Above: Paul Hoffman trains at Dandenong Oasis and NPAC. 116438 Pictures: ROB CAREW Right: Paul Hoffman is training for his English Channel swim in Greater Dandenong. 116438 ing you sideways,� he said.

This could push the swim out to 50km.

Mr Hoffman is only allowed to wear goggles, a cap, and speedos and isn’t allowed to touch his support boat.

Crew members will throw out containers filled with food and drinks, attached to a rope.

The Rhodesian-born father of two had been dreaming about the challenge since he was 14 years old.

When he volunteered as a surf lifeguard at Sunrise beach in Cape Town, South Africa, legendary open water swimmer Lewis Pugh assessed his qualifying swim and told him about his tilt at the channel swim. The seed was planted.

So two years ago Mr Hoffman decided his 40th birthday would be a great time to tackle it.

He contacted coach Mr van Wisse and has been training in pools and open water across Melbourne ever since, his family his biggest supporters. “I don’t think I’ll get a third chance, though!� he said. “I was pretty confident last time. I was pretty angry about how it ended. I’m very confident that I’ll get it right this time.�

DANDENONG JOURNAL

Thunder refuses to wear it DANDENONG Thunder has indicated it will not stand for the “over-the-top” two-year ban on under 13s boys team manager Aldrin De Zilva.

Last week club spokesman Sezar Jakupi said the Thunder was “considering its options” including an appeal to Football Federation Australia against what he termed as a “show trial” against Mr De Zilva.

“Our legal opinion was the tribunal chair’s mind was already made up. The hearing was going to be nothing more than a show trial.

“First we don’t even believe anything that was alleged had transpired. Even if it did, they have gone totally over the top in their approach.”

A Football Federation Victoria tribunal hearing last month unanimously found Mr De Zilva guilty of directing “offensive, insulting and/or abusive language and/or behaviour” towards 17-year-old female referee Taylor Roberson after a match between the Thunder and Goulburn Valley Suns.

Mr De Zilva did not front the hearing, in which none of the allegations were publicly disclosed. No witnesses gave evidence, and there was no cross-examination.

Mr De Zilva, who refutes the allegation, told the Journal he didn’t front the hearing because he “could not be assured of an independent and fair trial”.

The taxation lawyer resigned as an FFV director soon

after the misconduct charges were laid, claiming he had been “personally targeted” since raising concerns about FFV’s financial affairs last year.

FFV referee standing committee chairman Nick Karlich resigned last week, citing the FFV’s “questionable practices” in the case.

“The claims against Mr De Zilva are, in my mind, unfounded,” he said.

Mr De Zilva said any appeal would be “hampered” by the FFV’s refusal to provide “relevant correspondence and information”.

FFV president Nick Monteleone did not return the Journal’s calls before deadline.

Sweet dreams made of this

By CASEY NEILL A SELF-TAUGHT Springvale South cake decorator has starred in a bake-off for a good cause.

Kerry Tang, 21, saw last year’s Australia’s Sweetest Morning Tea (ASMT) magazine and “applied for fun” this year.

“I didn’t think I’d be involved,” she said.

“Some of my cake idols and biggest inspirations are involved in this.

“Cake classes were never fit for my budget, so I learnt the basics online from online tutorials and started from there.

“So it is a big thing for me to be involved in something like this.”

Cake decorators came up with not-for-profit ASMT to raise awareness and funds for cancer research, and held an e-vent on 22 May, showcasing sweet creations on a blog and Facebook.

A magazine is available online and in hard copy, and $5 from each sale goes to the Cancer Council Australia.

Participants received a brief including a colour palette, quotes and pictures of buildings and clothing.

Ms Tang’s creations are “Mother Nature meets modern style and fashion”.

Leonardo da Vinci quote “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” inspired her to turn to nature.

“I knew there was nothing simpler than nature itself,” she said.

She used a wreath in one cake in tribute to ASMT’s purpose.

“The wreath emphasises a circle of hope, that during dark days flowers will always bloom,” she said.

“The top tier and bottom tier are both dark and come together to the middle tier being the lightest. I wanted it to come together to represent light.”

Dark pleats and lines with a splash of gold sequins and bows create a bold but simple statement in Ms Tang’s modern fashion-inspired sweet treats.

City of Greater Dandenong’s new Lonsdale Street headquarters featured in Ms Tang’s photo shoot for her square cakes inspired by modern buildings.

Kerry Tang shows her icing skills. 121196 Picture: DONNA OATES “I encountered it because it is right across the cake supply store that I go to in Dandenong,” she said.

“When I walked past it I saw the building on the side, I thought ‘I need to take my pictures for the cakes in front of this’.

Wanting to create a special 18th birthday gift for her boyfriend sparked Ms Tang’s passion for baking in 2009.

“From then, I got really addicted to baking,” she said.

“Every time there was a special event I used it as an excuse to bake.”

The catch? She didn’t have

an oven.

“I went over to my boyfriend’s house with flour and sugar and came home with cakes,” she said.

Her dream for an oven came true last year, and she started her business Cuppy and Cake.

Baking and decorating cakes will remain hobbies while Ms Tang studies, but she hopes to pursue a career in the art.

“I hope it will be some time in the future, right now I just have to keep working hard,” she said.

“I also hope to make tutorials later on to inspire others into my passion of cake decorating.”

TAX TIME

Saving on tax pain THE ATO is warning investors not to be fooled by legitimatelooking tax avoidance schemes.

Deputy Commissioner Tim Dyce says illegal schemes are usually designed to appear legitimate, even to experienced investors, but there are telltale signs.

“Tax avoidance schemes aren’t always the ‘too good to be true’ types. They can be more sophisticated than many people realise,” Mr Dyce said.

In particular, Mr Dyce advises people to watch out for complex structures and unusual financing arrangements such as round robin financing and nonrecourse loans.

“If the main purpose of the arrangement is to reduce your assessable income by claiming deductions you are not entitled to, without any real investment, it is likely to be a scheme.”

In one case, promoters offered a ‘mortgage management plan’ promising to assist investors in repaying their home loan sooner. The scheme involved using the equity in their home to get additional loans for the purpose of claiming investment deductions equivalent to home loan interest payments.

It’s not just the design of the arrangement you have to look out for, but also what the promoter is promising and asking from you in return.

“We often see promoters of illegal arrangements guaranteeing that their product is ‘no

Tax time is a time to take care. 122990 risk’. They’ll also encourage you to keep the arrangement a secret or discourage you from seeking independent advice,” Mr Dyce said.

The ATO encourages anyone unsure about a tax investment they have been offered to seek a second opinion from an independent and trusted tax professional.

“At the end of the day, when it all goes wrong, it will be you and not just the promoter, who will have to face the penalties.”

Be wary of promoters that: Offer zero-risk guarantees for their product.

Refer you to a particular adviser or expert. They may seek to persuade you by claiming the adviser has spe-

Joyce Taylor. she knitted tiny layettes for premature babies and bright beanies for children in Africa.

Joyce volunteered at the Dandenong Eisteddfod, Dandenong Hospital, the Uniting Church op shop and Dandenong Historical Society, and joined the Westernport Theatre Company as pianist for some musical productions.

Joyce met singer Kerryn at the Uniting Church 23 years ago and joined her in recitals at aged care facilities around the Dandenong area.

Joyce and Cliff celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in November 2000. After Cliff’s passing in 2001, Joyce moved to a unit in Clow Street, before leaving Dandenong for the final two years of her life.

She left behind her two daughters, five grandsons, seven great-grandchildren and another on the way.

ELSIE ‘Joyce’ Taylor was born at Murray House in Scott Street, Dandenong, in 1928 and spent the next 83 years of her life in the suburb.

She passed away in an Emerald aged care facility on 23 June following a short illness, aged 85.

Joyce had a life-long love of music, perhaps fostered in her early years through attending Dandenong Town Hall dances in the 1930s and ’40s.

Her parents Elsie and Robert Little lived in Langhorne Street, and Joyce learned to play piano at a neighbour’s home. She went on to gain two diplomas from the London College of Music.

Her father always told Joyce he’d buy her a grand piano when he won Tattslotto. For her 80th birthday, she bought herself the white baby grand she had always wanted.

Joyce attended Dandenong Primary School from 1934 to 1940 and went on to Dandenong High School, where she was among few to complete Form 6. She became a primary school teacher in 1947.

Joyce attended Scots Presbyterian Church in Langhorne Street from a young age and it was there she met Clifford Taylor.

They became engaged in 1948 and under employment regulations she was required to give up her teaching position. She was later asked to return to work because of the baby boom.

Joyce and Cliff married in the same church in 1950 and in 1952 moved into a home in New Street, Dandenong, which Cliff had helped to build. In the next two years, daughters Kathryn and Margaret arrived.

Joyce became involved with the mothers’ club at Dandenong Primary and went on to become the club’s president.

She and Cliff hosted a monthly card night at their house to fund-raise for the Red Cross. Joyce was a Sunday School teacher at Scots and was also in the Scots Presbyterian tennis club.

Between 1963 and 1968, Joyce was the pianist for the local Scout group’s Ang Gang Shows, and

Nepalese and Indian under the one roof THE Subha Sandhya Nepalese and Indian Restaurant is a feast for the senses.

Located at shop A19-A21, Marriott Waters Shopping Centre, Lyndhurst, the restaurant has been operating for the past two months, although the experienced and friendly chefs have more than 10 years’ experience.

As the name suggests, the restaurant provides authentic Nepalese and north Indian food as well as a variety of beverages

from soft drinks to local and imported alcohol.

This is a brand-new restaurant in a brand-new shopping centre with a friendly environment which includes a dance floor and music.

Staff aim to bring the real taste of Nepal and north India in one location - something that is usually hard to find.

Subha Sandhya is currently offering a 10 per cent discount

on all takeaways and free deliveries within a five-kilometre radius.

The new restaurant, which can be found on Menulog, Eat Now and Delivery Hero (and you can order online from there too), prides itself in the quality of its food and the level of customer service.

It is open for lunch Thursday, Friday and Sunday from 11.30am to 2.30pm and dinner every night after 5pm.

STYLE AND STREET APPEAL A timeless and classically beautifully family home, that is the Colorado - the lastest design from Premier Builders.

With an American style facade, reminiscent of something that may be found in the stylish Hamptons, it is a style with plenty of curb appeal.

The aim, as with anything from Premier Builders, is to provide something with a point of difference from other

houses on the market.

Attention to detail is paramount as are the little finishing touches and flourishes that are not normally seen in new houses these days.

The Colorado features a gas fireplace in the lounge and real timber floorboards throughout.

The stunning kitchen features three skylights while there are

impressive vaulted ceilings in the kitchen to dining area.

The dining area also features large windows to increase the natural light.

There is also a servery window to help bring the outside in and visa versa, bridging the gap between the kitchen and alfresco area.

And, of course, because that is what any growing family needs,

there is plenty of storage throughout.

Alternative layouts are available and Premier Builders will customise the plans to suit the block.

Check out the display house at Red Maple Drive in the Casiana Grove Estate at Cranbourne West or talk to Premier Builders, Shop 4, 35 Woods Street, Beaconsfield.

RUG UP FOR INCREASING WINTER SALES THAT ARE SET TO WARM THE HEART ENZO RAIMONDO

CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

It’s the season for red wine and open fires, for skiing and snowboarding, for chunky soups and the heating on high.

In the past, that meant fewer property sellers and buyers, as homeowners tucked themselves in for the winter.

Now, though, agents report the selling season has extended beyond the always-busy autumn into the cooler months - and not just for chalets and apartments in the mountains.

Sellers are capitalising on their homes’ winter appeal, both features and location, and agents are marketing properties to attract

winter buyers. This ranges from the high peaks of the state’s far north-east to small-acreage farm getaways and even to coastal areas of Victoria.

With good snowfalls reported in the past fortnight, an agent in Mount Beauty, at the base of the Falls Creek Alpine Village, is already advertising a home as “warm and inviting”.

A Mansfield agency’s information about a Falls Creek apartment makes mention of its heated floors.

Another for sale at Mount Hotham has a gas log fire or the new owners can warm up on a balcony

with a hot tub. There is even a heated garage car space for the successful buyer.

Coastal regions - perhaps surprisingly - are also benefiting from the increased winter action.

While some seaside real estate agencies used to report slower sales in winter, with staff taking the chance for a holiday, they now report the number of winter buyers increasing.

Many visitors prefer the lure of the coast on a stormy winter’s day.

For those who look carefully, there is always the chance of an off-season bargain as the number of visitors to the coast falls over

the winter period. One coastal location in Melbourne’s west that continues to be popular in the winter months is seaside Warrnambool, which in the past 10 years has averaged a 12 per cent increase between March and June, a sizable growth when many Victorians are focusing more heavily on the fireplace than the property market.

Another indication of interest in coastal areas can be found much closer to Melbourne’s outer fringe.

The clifftop town of Mount Eliza on the Mornington Peninsula has averaged a 5.1 per cent price increase in the past decade.

PICK AND PLACE YOUR PERFECT HOME SOMETIMES it is hard for buyers to pinpoint just what they want in a new home without actually seeing it.

The Brown Property Group Display Village, located at The Avenue at Casey estate, gives buyers the chance to see just what their new home could and would look like.

The newly open display village features a range of new homes from some of Melbourne’s best builders.

Buyers can take the time to walk through the range of new and exciting home designs and find the one that best suits all their needs.

Builders currently on display include Metricon, with an impressive eight homes on display, Carlisle, Simonds and East West Homes with more on the way!

There is also ample parking at the display village which is located at the corner of Thompsons Road and Stoneleigh Road, Cranbourne North.

And once buyers have found their new dream home they should jump in the car and take a short drive down to Clyde North’s newest residential community Highgrove.

With a strong emphasis on community and

open spaces, Highgrove unites four precincts around a beautifully landscaped central neighbourhood park while smaller parks are nestled within the heart of each precinct.

With its convenient location in Clyde North and with reach of ample shopping, education and community facilities, it’s easy to see why the first stage of this community has been selling strongly.

With its range of lot options to suit all buyers, and with a standard lot depth of 32 metres, the estate ensures that future residents are sure to find a

block that will suit all of their family’s needs.

Highgrove has everything residents need close at hand, without intruding into their personal living space, so it is an ideal location to raise a family, big or small.

For more information, call Linda on 1800 444 447 or visit highgrove.com.au.

Would-be buyers can also visit the Highgrove Sales and Information Centre which is located on the corner of Berwick– Cranbourne Road and Pattersons Road, Clyde North.

The keys to the city GREATER Dandenong’s main attractions and landmarks are brightening up a free bus.

Tiny illustrations of Dandenong Oasis, Drum Theatre, Dandenong Market and Dandenong Plaza now appear on the city’s free shuttle bus, which also has a new stop.

Travellers can now board and disembark on Walker Street, directly opposite Dandenong’s new civic centre.

The stop will be trialled until October, when a decision will be made about whether it should stay.

City of Greater Dandenong provides the city shuttle free of charge.

It operates between 9.15am and 5.15pm, Monday to Saturday, starts at Dandenong Railway Station and stops at eight designated points before returning to the station.

The bus seats 32 passengers and has two doors and a low-lying floor for easy access for prams and shopping jeeps.

Tattoo link to keysborough bank robbery POLICE have re-released CCTV footage of a man who was allegedly involved in the armed robbery of a Keysborough bank last month.

Detective Senior Constable Dean Hedge of Greater Dandenong police’s Embona taskforce said further inspection of the footage revealed a mark possibly a tattoo - on the man’s neck behind his left ear.

The man had allegedly handed a note and demanded cash from a bank teller in

Parkmore Shopping Centre on Cheltenham Road between 1.30pm and 2pm on 13 May. The teller, seeing the man’s hand inside his jacket, believed the man was armed and complied with the demands.

The man, who fled along Cheltenham Road, was described as of Caucasian appearance and unshaven with blue eyes, brown collar-length hair and of medium build.

Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A man allegedly involved in a Keysborough bank robbery in May.

Aquariums & Reptiles

Oasis glass is cleared

Police believe the man they are looking for has a distinctive tattoo.

THE Victorian WorkCover Authority has cleared Dandenong Oasis after glass fell from a bank of windows above its main pool in February.

Last week the authority stated it was “satisfied that no further action is required”.

The glass panel had been dislodged on 9 February - a day of near 40-degree temperatures and strong winds.

It was captured intact by a safety net above the 50-metre pool, which is frequently used by competitive and recreational swimmers.

Greater Dandenong Council, which owns the pool, has since vowed to increase the frequency of its two-yearly inspection of the panels.

The most recent inspection found the panels were in good condition, chief executive John Bennie said last month.

“Since the incident, visual and structural assessments of the panels have been undertaken and there is no indication that any other windows could fall.

“While no problems have been found, (the) council is committed to providing safe facilities and will remove and disassemble some of the windows to see if there are hidden issues.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

And Bob’s your uncle

By CASEY NEILL BERT Glinka has been coming to Uncles Smallgoods in Dandenong since he was a kid.

Now the 27-year-old and business partner Brendan D’Amelio, 29, own the place.

They last week received an $8000 City of Greater Dandenong Economic Development Unit (EDU) business grant to grow the 127 Thomas Street establishment. They are continuing the traditions former owners and husband and wife team Marian and Nora started 20 years ago, but have added Young Uncles Coffee and Sandwich Bar to the storefront.

“They were really happy that we popped up,” Mr Glinka said.

“Business was going really well for them. When they started thinking about retirement they lost the passion that they had. They’re glad to see it with some fresh life now.”

The Young Uncles have been learning the ropes since they took over.

“We didn’t actually focus on changing anything or growing, just basically learning all the processes,” Mr Glinka said.

Some things won’t change.

Bert Glinka, Mayor Jim Mementi and Brendan D’Amelio. 22748 Picture: GARY SISSONS

“The way we make our smallgoods, everything’s done by hand,” he said.

“The community’s been quite supportive of us and happy that someone’s stepped up. They want to see the quality stay the way it has been.”

And Marian is keeping a close eye on things to ensure that continues.

“He’s here once or twice a week to help us out with any issues or questions,” Mr Glinka said.

It was Uncles’ traditional sausages that hooked Mr Glinka as a child, and it was this product he and Mr D’Amelio

took to festivals in a van - their first foray into the food world. They served up Polish sausages with sauerkraut and pickles in brioche buns.

“At our first festival we sold 1200 sausages,” he said. “It really propelled us to take this on.”

Up to 300 people come through Young Uncles’ door each day.

“It’s everything that we enjoy about Melbourne cafe culture and food, here in Dandenong,” Mr Glinka said. “We just wanted to fill a gap, have quality speciality coffee and create something

that hasn’t been here before.”

They use the ham, bacon and sausage they smoke on the premises and source other ingredients locally.

“We feel connected to the community. Our parents have shopped at Dandenong Market forever,” Mr Glinka said. “We like what’s happening now with Thomas Street.”

He said the area struggled during recent construction.

“Now it’s getting some new life and we want to just fly a flag in terms of the cafe world,” he said. “We want to encourage other people to do the same thing, make Dandenong a nicer place to be.”

Young Uncles has focused on healthy menu options, but has kept Wednesday Wieners - “Polish sausage in a bun with the option of sauerkraut”.

Coffee is a big part of the Young Uncles experience and the council’s financial support has boosted demand for the brew. They now have the coffee machine they always wanted.

“By buying this new coffee machine we’ve been able to pump out the coffee that we want,” Mr Glinka said.

“We’ve seen a direct link with more people coming in for coffee.”

Afghanistan now means business, not war

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS BUSINESS ties have been quickly knotted since an historic AustraliaAfghanistan Business Council economic conference in Dandenong two weeks ago, say organisers.

One of the beneficiaries is Keysborough manufacturer Bescon Industries, which landed a $400,000-plus annual deal to export its concrete products, packaging and tools into Afghanistan.

The business council says it is one of at least six recent activities to have cemented Greater Dandenong companies into the booming Afghan market within a week of networking at the conference.

Another significant outcome from the conference was the formation of an advisory board to create an Australian university in Afghanistan.

Early interest has been garnered from Deakin and Victoria universities, according to the business council.

Bescon managing director Vince Greco had headed to the conference, keen to meet some of the 80 international delegates and expand his company’s international business.

He estimates about 40 per cent of its

Rory Costelloe with examples of public art at Villawood’s Armstrong Creek development. products are sold overseas in Malaysia, Indonesia, Cyprus and Vietnam.

Hameed Kochai, president of his own Afghanistan-based construction company, heard about Bescon’s products at the conference and recognised there was a vacant niche.

“I wanted to take it there to Afganistan and expose it,” he said.

Mr Kochai, knowing the glut of construction projects, was quick to sign on Bescon on as an exclusive supplier throughout Afghanistan.

Australian companies have been slow to tap into the Kabul boom in areas such as education, mining, construction and transport. Of the nation’s US$4.4 billion annual trade, 32 per cent is with the US and 0.2

per cent with Australia, according to the Australia-Afghanistan Business Council.

Bashir Keshtiar, president of the business council, said last week the event was significant because it was “the first time the two countries got to talk about trade and business investment, rather than war and international aid”.

“Before last week no-one in Afghanistan knew of Dandenong. We’re prepared to say we made history.”

“My aim was to change the picture of Afghanistan in a positive way, that it’s not just a war-torn country but a land of opportunity.”

Mr Keshtiar said the country had changed for the better, since he fled during the Russian occupation 28 years ago.

“I returned last year. This time we didn’t have a curfew. After midnight, you couldn’t hear any gunshots.

“In the past 10 years, the people of Afghanistan have learnt to become a mature society that is involved in the international community.

“They’ve seen the benefits of doing business. They don’t want to miss those opportunities again.”

Sign of the times AN outdoor advertising company has failed in its bid to install a 19.5-metre high V-shaped billboard facing both directions of EastLink traffic at 67 Popes Road, Keysborough.

Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal member Vicki Davies ruled against iOM Pty Ltd’s proposed twinpanel billboard mounted on a pole on industrial land about 40 metres from the tollway.

The proposal had been earlier rejected by Greater Dandenong Council and was also opposed by tollway operator Connect East.

The council, at the behest of Connect East, last year adopted a planning scheme amendment discouraging signage near the tollway that would have an adverse visual impact.

The amendment has yet to be approved by Planning Minister Matthew Guy. Ms Davies stated that tollway operator ConnectEast’s support for a policy discouraging advertising signs was “controversial”.

“Its support of the proposed policy and its objection to this proposed sign, just outside the corridor, would certainly have more credibility if there were no major promotion signs with the corridor and ConnectEast did not earn revenue from such signs.”

Ms Davies found the sign was not appropriate because it would be a “dominant element” in views from EastLink.

It did not achieve a standard “appropriate to the importance of the adjacent transport route”.

Rye smile for award

A DANDENONG bread, made of a 100-year-old starter transplanted from Poland, has been given top honours at one of Australia’s most prestigious food awards.

Polish Rye Crust Bakery’s signature bread - the Polish rye - won a gold medal in this year’s Royal Melbourne Fine Food Awards’ bread and baked goods category.

The bakery’s multigrain and plain sourdough breads took out the silver and bronze medals.

Co-owner Hanna Lipiszko said this was her heavily-awarded bakery’s greatest achievement.

It’s only the Lonie...

By JARROD POTTER SIZE isn’t everything for Victoria Country’s most valuable player Jack Lonie.

The Dandenong Stingrays co-captain Lonie, 17, from Seaford, is punching well above his 174-centimetre, 67-kilogram frame as he starred in multiple matches at the NAB AFL Under-18 National Championships.

Although the campaign soured for Vic Country - as they tumbled to third on the table with back-to-back disappointing losses to South Australia and Western Australia - Lonie impressed the Vic Country coaches and selection panel to earn their coveted trophy as the most valuable in regional Victoria.

“It’s a great honour obviously and to get the MVP with such a prestigious group and a lot of talented footballers it’s very good,” Lonie said.

“Playing for all of Vic Country, the coaches showed me what my role was and I tried to play that to the best of my ability and that’s the main thing.

“To finish like we did was a bit disappointing… it was a tough game and credit to South Australia they were probably too good for us… we really could not get ourselves into the game.”

Lonie averaged 14.5 possessions a game, including a 25 possession game against old enemy Vic Metro and his personal favourite - a 24-disposal haul against Western Australia at Fremantle Oval where he kicked four goals.

“Probably the WA game… played my best game of the carnival… it was a great win as

well… to sing the song was the bonus after the game… and play like I did was very pleasing,” Lonie said.

There’s still “fire in the belly” for Lonie to avenge last year’s disastrous end to the TAC Cup finals’ campaign. Otherwise he’s focused on the week-to-week efforts of captaincy at Dandenong.

Lonie’s TAC Cup coach Craig Black said his prowess deserves recognition and his leadership qualities should not be underrated either.

“You take away his height - he’s a fantastic competitor and I really do believe he’s turning into a really good leader at the footy club,” Black said.

“Talks to kids and keeps them all in the same direction… as a footballer he’s fantastic and doing everything… he’s just as happy tackling and putting pressure on as he is kicking goals.”

“Fantastic effort to win the Most Valuable Player for Vic Country with some really good potential number one draft picks in that group like Pat McCartin and others.”

Lonie will be available for TAC Cup selection this weekend when Dandenong faces Bendigo at Shepley Oval on Saturday from 1pm.

Rugby in the blood

By JARROD POTTER

Marching together proudly into Cardinia Life, the Special Olympics’ Dandenong Valley region gets ready to compete in the State Winter Games. 123284 Picture: ROB CAREW

By JARROD POTTER THEY beamed with pride from the tips of their toes to the top of their green, blue and white beanies.

Special Olympics Dandenong Valley region athletes marched joyfully into Pakenham’s Cardinia Life as part of a grand Olympic opening ceremony on Saturday as Special Olympics Victoria held its State Winter Games.

The games were opened by Victorian Minister for Sports and Recreation and Veterans Affairs, State Member for Gembrook Brad Battin, Deputy Police Commissioner Lucinda Nolan and Cardinia

Shire Council deputy mayor Brett Owen, with nearly 400 athletes in attendance and the 500-person stand at Cardinia Life at capacity.

The Olympic torch was lit and the flame shone brightly as athletes from around Victoria prepared themselves for the competition ahead.

With 42 basketballers and 30 ten-pin bowlers in its team this year, Dandenong Valley region chair Lynette Gorman said the thrill of helping the athletes participate in the games was the greatest reward.

“They just love it - I’ve got athletes today (Saturday) that just turn up to this event only

and they’re all here,” Gorman said.

“We give up a lot of time - it doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a lot of time - but you see the smiles on their faces and to watch them today… they love it… and we get the pleasure out of seeing them having fun.”

The State Winter Games ran across the weekend at venues in Pakenham and Narre Warren.

For more information on Special Olympics Dandenong Valley, encompassing Dandenong, Knox, Casey and surrounds, contact Lynette Gorman at lgorman4@bigpond.com.

TALENT runs in the veins for Ali Okusitino-Felise as he embarks on a school sport rugby trip.

Ali, 11, from Springvale South, has already starred on Keysborough Primary School’s rugby tag team and hopes to take his moves to the state level as the School Sport Victoria half-back.

Through his four uncles Mark, Luka, John and Ross Ali found the family passion for rugby league at Doveton-based rugby league club South East Titans and has been in great form in the Victorian Rugby League under-12 competition.

“Since I was six - just like the hard running and tackling,” Ali said.

“We’re pretty good because no teams have scored tries against us and I’m in the back - normally half-back.

“I like playing there because you normally get the ball and get to do any of your moves either pass the ball or run it.”

Finding out he was in the state rugby league team was a thrill enough for Ali, but hearing his cousin Patrick Maka had made the team as well made the announcement extra special.

“I was happy and excited the day when mum told me I was picked,” Ali said.

“Patrick made the team too he’s my cousin.”

His hopes for the Wollongong-based championships are simple enough - he wants to score as many tries as he

Ali Okusitino-Felise is reaching for the sky with ambition to play well at the national schoolboy rugby league championships in Wollongong. 122049 Picture: ROB CAREW can and meet a few new mates along the way.

“I reckon we’re going to do pretty good,” Ali said.

“We’ve got a good forward pack and a good back pack.

“I really want to be the halfback but I’m normally hooker - I like dummying the ball and running it - or passing it to my friends.”

Ali’s extended family talent also features two more of his cousins - Quadriell and Shaquille Faiva - who are state track and field champions.

Ali wanted to thank his mum Linda, his uncles and his grandparents Lina and Alosio Felise for their support.

“I would like to thank my mum for supporting me and coming to all my games and bringing me to all of the trainings and my uncles for helping my mum,” Ali said.

Ali and his cousin Patrick Maka, who attends Noble Park Secondary College, will head to the School Sport Australia 12-and-under Rugby League Championships from 6-14 August in Wollongong.

Duzel’s Jekyll and Hyde

By JARROD POTTER WHILE most coaches would take a draw after trailing 0-2 just after half-time, Dandenong City coach Ivan Duzel was disappointed with his side’s comeback 2-2 effort against Brunswick City.

Duzel was forced to use the majority of his squad’s depth this week as Halil Gur (knee), Simon Storey (calf) and Stephen Topalovic (hamstring) were all sidelined.

Conceding an early goal to wooden-spoon aspirants Brunswick City, the Dandenong City defence could not keep out Rikiya Kitami as he slotted an easy shot past Marko Stevanja in the 19th minute.

That would be the margin at the

main break before another Brunswick City goal fired up the visitors in the 50th minute - Baggio Yousif was afforded too much space in front of goals and did not falter as the visitors took the two-goal lead.

From there on the match and all the attacking play belonged to Dandenong City. Sean Seavill, Dario Matkovic and Keegan Ziada ran the wings at breakneck speed to shatter the Brunswick City backline.

Andres Jerez lofted a perfectly weighted cross onto the curly mop top of Matkovic in the 56th minute, to reduce the deficit to a solitary kick.

That margin would stay for the briefest of moments as Matkovic stormed up the field and earned a penalty from a careless Brunswick

City tackle.

Matkovic leaned back on his penalty kick and slotted it past the outstretched hands of Mason Interlandi to level the ledger with halfan-hour to go.

Duzel brought on tall striker Goran Jozeljic to give the short City attack some much needed height and it almost paid dividends as Jozeljic nearly got on the end of two beautiful passes via Ziada.

Dandenong City would have many more chances in the dying minutes but all amounted to nothing as their errant kicking let Brunswick City escape with a draw.

“After last week to this week, totally different character of the

team,” Duzel said.

“Not enough movement, not enough getting themselves in the right positions to punish from the wings.

“The one mistake they scored the goal and after half-time I thought we tried to get back.

“Last 25 minutes we had enough to win the game and we didn’t - now we have to work harder and try to get ourselves better and better this half of the season and see what happens.”

Sitting 12th in NPL1, Dandenong City hosts third ranked Box Hill United on Saturday.

In other matches Springvale White Eagles was knocked off easily by Richmond SC in a 0-3 drubbing at home.

SEABL - round 14

Rangers sweep the floor

By JARROD POTTER CALVIN Enge’s 100th SEABL game proved a lucky charm as Dandenong swept Ballarat.

Coming into the clash, Ballarat’s imports Roy Booker and Ken Horton had lit up the competition - leading the stats in points, rebounds and assists per game between them.

Booker had to sit out the clash with an Achilles tear, leaving the task to Horton and the Miners to halt Dandenong powerhouses Daequon Montreal (23 points, 10 rebounds) and Tony Lewis (23 points, 13 rebounds).

The Rangers two towers proved too tall for Ballarat to lock down, especially when captain Andrew Harms (15 points, 9 assists, 4 steals) fed them the ball at will.

Dandenong turned on the afterburners in the final term to hit 23 points and take a comfortable 14-point win, which gives the Rangers a chance on Saturday night to battle for second spot in SEABL East against Nunawading.

Meanwhile for the Rangers’ women, the start of their sweep began on the back of Lauren Scherf’s (15 points, 12 rebounds) seventh double-double of the season to help guide Dandenong to a

23-point win over the Rush.

Dandenong stole the ball ruthlessly to sink 16 points off turnovers, which pretty much proved the difference between the sides.

Led by former Ranger Steph Cumming, Ballarat could not hold back the twin centres of Scherf and Jacinta Kennedy (18 points) while Amelia Todhunter (13 points) also made her mark on the scoresheet.

Dandenong’s three-point game was lacklustre as the Rangers hit 1/11 from beyond the arc.

The win keeps Dandenong on top of SEABL East women’s conference.

Dandenong coach Larissa Anderson’s star recruit Jacinta Kennedy reeled off 18 points from the bench in the Rangers’ win over the Rush. 120147 Picture: JARROD POTTER

The second is the $250,000 Grand National Steeplechase (4500 metres) on the same track on Sunday, July 27.

Gotta Take Care could well become the first horse to win the Melbourne Racing Club’s $300,000 Jumps Racing Bonus Series and he does look the horse to beat in the 132nd running of the Grand National Hurdle. The bonus is based on six jumps events, two at Warrnambool and four at Sportingbet Park, Sandown. The bonus goes to any horse that can win three of those events in the one jumping season. Gotta Take Care has won two legs with the Galleywood Hurdle and Australian Hurdle to his credit and the Grand National Hurdle will complete the trifecta.

Since then he has easily won the Brendan Drechsler Hurdle (3200 metres) at Bendigo on June 15 for the third successive year and that took his prizemoney to $1,011,419. A remarkable performer, Gotta Take Care has won 20 of 70 starts with 19 placings. Of those are nine wins in 17 starts over jumps.

He is having a final run on the flat in preparation for the Grand National.

As always there will be a strong field out to spoil Gotta Take Care’s day and one of those only made its Australian debut at the end of June.

Sea King joined the Plumpton stables of Patrick Payne only a week before, impressively winning the $100,000 Kevin Lafferty Hurdle (3470 metres) in heavy conditions at Warrnambool on June 29. He had previously been trained in New Zealand by the great jumps’ conditioner Kevin Meyers and has now won seven-times over jumps.

“The National and Sandown should suit him ideally,” Berwick-area jockey Steve Pateman said after the win, “he’s only been here a week and had one trial mid-week”.

Course admission on Sunday, July 13, is $10 for adults, $5 concession and children under 18 accompanied by an adult are admitted free. Attractive dining packages are also available and bookings can be made by phoning 9257 7100.

SPORT TAC CUP - round 13

Juvenile Rays enjoy mud

By JARROD POTTER POURING rain and ankle-deep mud could not halt the Stingrays’ charge as a five-goal third-term shoot-out proved the difference over Murray Bushrangers.

With the centre-square resembling chocolate pudding, the best efforts of the centres was to get it away from the quagmire fast. Elliott Hunt and Aaron Pawel thumped the ball out of the ruck and down to a myriad of midfielders - led by Sam Geurts and Bailey Dale.

Intent was shown on the jumpers at the breaks as anyone truly fighting for the ball came off drenched and caked in mud.

Experience was low- due to unavailability of Dandenong’s Vic Country representatives Aaron Wilson, Tom Lamb, Gach Nyuon and co-captains Daniel Capiron and Jack Lonie - but Dandenong’s underage contingent stood up in the sorry conditions.

Showing some coaching cunning, Craig Black switched perennial defender Kyle Gray forward and reaped immediate reward as Gray drilled two goals in the first term.

With Dandenong’s tall defenders Daylan Kempster, Jake Wilson, Keiran Collins and Jacob Weiter-

ing holding down the fort, Murray struggled to pierce the zone and only mustered three goals to the main break.

After half-time Dandenong cherished a little wind and the skies clearing up to slam on five goals, seven behinds. Dale was phenomenal in the third term- clunking marks, scrounging ground balls and kicking his two majors in a quick passage that netted four Stingray goals in as many minutes.

Some redemption from the visitors was found with the wind in the final term, but it was all to no avail as Dandenong captured a 20-point win off the Bushrangers.

Black said bouncing back onto the winners’ list was important but thought there remained further improvement to unearth in the group’s goal-kicking.

“After dropping two games it’s been rare in the last five or six years to lose three in a row… it was really important to get back on the winners list,” Black said.

“The way that we competed for the first three-quarters and the first10-minutes of the last quarter was really good.

“It was a great third quarter, but I don’t think we got the reward for the effort as we missed a few goals too,

THE gap between the top two and the rest in SFL Division 2 became crystal clear on Saturday as second placed Skye sent third ranked Springvale Districts away with a 53-point loss.

The drive back to Newcomen Road would not have been pleasant for John McTaggart’s charges as they were outgunned by the Bombers from the first bounce. Mustering only three goals by three-quartertime, the Demons’ defence was the only facet keeping the score line respectable as a number of Skye bombing runs were repelled. Justin Doust, David Ford and Gavin Vassallo continued their strong seasons as the gap expanded to 18 points.

Springvale Districts is now well entrenched in a logjam from third to seventh with two points separating the five clubs. The Demons now face Highett at home on Saturday.

A desperate lunge from Dandenong’s Blake Mullane helped halt Picture: JARROD POTTER Murray’s attack. 123397 but to win the clearances around the centre bounce in those conditions, we had a lot of inside-50s which was promising.”

Blake Mullane’s return to the side was praised by Black, with the midfielder slotting in for injured hard-nut Alex Harnett (broken hand)

as well as Mitch White returning to the side and Dan Moloney’s efforts throughout the defensive end.

Dandenong sits above the fold on the TAC Cup ladder in fourth place with a clash against wooden spoon contenders Bendigo next up on Saturday at Shepley Oval.

Division 3 - round 12 DANDENONG continues to improve week-to-week as it was squeezed into defeat by Ashwood in a 17-point setback. Ashwood was kept scoreless by the Redlegs in the final term but the best efforts of Dandenong - led by Matt Van Schajik (3 goals) and Brodie O’Laughlin (2) wasn’t enough to power past the Magpies. Stephen

Young was best afield.

In other games Sandown could not match pace with South Yarra - as the former Division-2 side inflicted a 33-point defeat on the Cobras. Jason Toan, Mitch Gersbeck and Matt Menzies all held their own in the loss.

While Lyndale dished out a shock upset over premiership contender Carrum Patterson Lakes, knocking in four-goals-to-none in the final term to run out eight point winners.

VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASS. Division 2 - round 12 JOC-ULAR celebrations would have gripped Thomas Carroll Reserve as St John’s ran out a 36-point winner over Ivanhoe. The JOCs started strongly, kicking five goals in the opening term, but Ivanhoe controlled most of the play throughout the initial stanza. It left the JOCs with a message to send before halftime, which they resoundingly did via an eight-goal straight term to leave the Magpies in their wake.

Ivanhoe came back at St John’s in the second half, but had left too much to chase as the home side claimed a comfortable six-goal win.

The centre-men and wingers kept their heads over the ball and the standout of the afternoon was strong tackling, as a number of JOCs and

Bulls start stampede

Busting through an Ivanhoe tackling attempt was St John’s midfielder Picture: JARROD POTTER Ben Ayache. 123398 Magpies were either rolled or thrown out of bounds in vice-like grips.

Crushing the JOCs’ goals were Rohan Scott and Anthony Brannan drilling four each - while best afield was Glenn Costas, Dale Camm and Kane Arnold.

St John’s advances past Ivanhoe into fifth in VAFA Division 2 and face South Melbourne Districts on 19 June after a bye this weekend.

CASEY CARDINIA FOOTBALL LEAGUE Seniors - round 12 (split) THE wheels are well and truly off at Keysborough, with Pakenham pick-

ing apart the Burra by 101 points.

A gallant third-term accrued four goals for the Burra but the Lions roared again to kick 11 goals after half-time and seal the deal. Richard Minney, Jayke Hopkins and Tim Werner snagged a pair of goals apiece while Ran Goodes, Daniel Morland and Michael Downie all toiled in the belting. It’s Keysborough’s fifth loss by over 100 points and leaves the door ajar for the Burra to collect the wooden spoon.

Keysborough next host ladder-leading Narre Warren on 19 June after a scheduled bye.

DANDENONG SCOREBOARD

ADD another Eastern Football League giant to the growing list Noble Park has beaten.

The Bulls had the task ahead of them vying with unbeaten Norwood to keep their season alive - but Jon Knight’s men were too strong for the Norsemen down the straight.

The slick Bulls - mostly clean shaven after last week’s Shave-A-Bull Day fundraiser for Leukaemia Australia and Zayne Anderson - sped past the Norsemen in a captivating last term.

With memories of their come-frombehind win against East Ringwood threeweeks-ago still fresh in their minds, the Bulls rallied five goals in the final term to edge past the Norsemen by a point - setting off another huge celebration at the Bullring.

Stewart Kemperman slotted three goals to push the Bulls ahead and starred through the midfield while his namesake Bobby Kemperman excelled defensively and ruckman Glenn Manson had his best day this season according to the coach.

Also clunking crucial goals late in the game were Matt Jones and man-mountain Brett Dore - snagging two apiece.

The go-ahead point came off the boot of Frankston VFL forward Ziggie Alwan, who returned to the Bullring with the Dolphins taking a bye this weekend.

Heavy rotations were part of the Knight strategy to overcome Norwood and the coach believed once the system is worked out, the Bulls are able to overwhelm easily.

“Some of the boys are slowly getting used to the rotations but whether we’re starting them a bit early or what, I don’t know, but we’re hanging in there with the rotations then running over sides,” Knight said.

The last month of football has been sensational from the Bulls - knocking off top sides Balwyn and South Croydon, with only one blip against Rowville scarring the amazing run through June.

Knight said it was a do-or-die victory and kept the Bulls in the hunt for finals.

“We’re still a game and a half out, but what it meant today was that all the sides were playing teams below them and we had to win otherwise we’d go to 10 points behind,” Knight said.

“Now that we’ve won, all the sides above us play each other.”

The Bulls now sit sixth and need to hunt down six points to bridge the gap to the finalfive.

The next challenge will be hosting fifthplaced Montrose with the Bulls hoping to avenge their Round 1 loss.
