Library in firing line “

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

A RESIDENTS’ group says it will staunchly oppose any plans

by City of Greater Dandenong to demolish Dandenong’s former library.

Councillor Peter Brown last week said the library in Stuart Street “may well be knocked over for car parking” to accommodate the proposed expansion of Dandenong Market.

“They want to expand the market, which would take up existing parking and mean they have to create further parking,” Cr Brown said.

He said the council had received expressions of interest from possible long-term tenants to occupy its nearby offices in Clow Street, which are also part of the market precinct.

According to the council’s masterplan devised in 2007, the Clow Street offices could become a neighbourhood hub; there is no building retained on the former library site.

Mayor Jim Memeti said the updated masterplan would go to public consultation, including the question of maintaining or demolishing the library building.

“At this point in time, the council has not made up its mind. There are benefits and negatives.

“If the Clow Street offices are available for community use, do we then need the library?

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THE COUNCIL HAS NOT MADE UP ITS MIND. THERE ARE BENEFITS AND NEGATIVES…

JIM MEMETI “How much cost will it take to run the library building? How much cost to bring it up for community use?” Cr Memeti said.

“We don’t know those costs yet,” he said.

He said the demolition of the library could create an alternative entrance to the market’s car park from Sleeth Street, which could help decongest the market’s King Street entry.

Dandenong Community Association has petitioned the council to retain the library as a needed community facility.

It has collected 96 signatories to an online petition at change.org.

Spokeswoman Silvia Mastrogiovanni said community facilities were “bursting at the seams” due to population growth, the manufacturing downturn and the needs of new arrivals.

“Dandenong needs all the community facilities it can get, particularly those with good access and parking like the former Dandenong Library building.

“We are worried that it will

be demolished in a short-term decision that will cost the people who call Dandenong their home a great opportunity,” Ms Mastrogiovanni said.

A council spokeswoman said the council would not comment before a report on the matter was tabled on 28 July.

Meanwhile, the council will tonight (Monday) vote on the public sale of the former council depot site at View Road, Springvale.

In a council report, the 22,000 square-metre site was considered surplus to the council’s requirements.

Proceeds from the proposed sale would help fund the council’s $25 million Springvale Civic Space masterplan for a new library and community centre.

The council last year received a petition demanding the retention of the land. If councillors approve the sale tonight, the community will be given 28 days to comment.

Iced out: no bail

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

A FORMER private investigator, who was out on bail with an “out of control” drug addiction, was found unconscious with 90 grams of crystal methamphetamine in an idling car parked at a fast-food outlet recently.

David Anthony Oldaker, 39, of no fixed address, was refused bail “with the greatest sympathy” by magistrate Barry Schultz at a remand hearing in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

For much of the hearing, Oldaker - who had been remanded in custody since 3 July - was curled up in the dock with his eyes closed.

Constable John Nichols of Cranbourne police told the court that Oldaker appeared “asleep” and “substance affected” when police carried out a drug search on him and his car at the Cranbourne McDonald’s car park about 1.50am on 3 July.

Police found a prescription painkiller oxycontin and a “large quantity” of crystal methamphetamine

- otherwise known as ‘ice’ - in the front pocket of Oldaker’s hoodie.

The ice had a “conservative” street value of $63,000, Constable Nichols told the court.

A bag containing about $20,000 in cash was also found in the car.

Oldaker said the money was what remained of his share from the sale of his former family home on 30 June.

Police also allegedly discovered about $2000 in Oldaker’s wallet as well as 500ml of the drug GHB mostly packed in “bubble” packs of 24 small bottles.

Drug “paraphernalia” such as “numerous” zip-lock bags as well as two electronic scales and drug testing kits were also found, Constable Nichols said.

Oldaker told police he had tried to cut his wrists, Constable Nichols said.

“He just said he was scared and knew he was about to be busted.”

Constable Nichols said Oldaker

told police he was consuming between 3.5 and 5 grams of ice a day.

“It could cost him up to $20,000 per week. My concern is he’ll commit more offences to try to fund that habit,” Constable Nichols said.

Police prosecutor Sean van Geyzel told the court that Oldaker’s bail had been extended by a magistrate just two days before the incident.

The court heard that Oldaker had been bailed on three trafficking and possession matters since last year including police finding him asleep in his SUV with 52 grams of ice, $2085 cash, cannabis and prescription drugs in Judith Street, Dandenong North last June.

In applying for bail, defence lawyer Patrick Allen told the court that Oldaker had been a successful private investigator for more than a decade.

His client had “struggled” with morphine-based painkillers after a serious motorcycle accident in 2008. Those struggles led to his current drug habit.

“He’s not a man that doesn’t

know how to live well,” Mr Allen said.

“He did well for a significant period of his life.”

He said Oldaker’s problems which included depression, suicidal tendencies and post-traumatic stress disorder - could be treated under the court’s credit-bail program which includes drug and mental health treatment services.

Magistrate Schultz said he was “sympathetic” but noted the “fairly significant quantity” of drugs and “a strong inference that there is a commercial element to what he is doing”.

“There’s a drug issue here that’s just running out of control.

“He has not addressed that which has destroyed his life. I don’t believe even the most onerous conditions of bail will address his risk of further offending,” he said.

Oldaker was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 14 July.

Aunty Di breaks the ice on drugs abuse

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS WURUNDJERI elder Diane Kerr has called for a summit of Greater Dandenong community elders to work together to combat the ‘ice’ drug “crisis”.

Speaking around NAIDOC Week, Aunty Di said it was time for elders to put aside differences and talk about the common problems bedevilling young people from Greater Dandenong’s multitude of cultures.

She nominates issues such as alcohol, housing, employment, education, child sexual abuse and family violence.

Top of her list is the “evil” crystal methamphetamine - better known as ‘ice’.

She said it was at a “crisis stage”– a rising factor in ambulance attendances, crime, and was the subject of a state parliamentary inquiry.

“If I hear of anyone doing the wrong thing in our community with that drug, I’m naming and shaming them,” Aunty Di said.

“I’m not losing any more of our kids - overdosing and suiciding.

You can imagine how many it is altogether.

“I’m not thinking I’m a saviour of the world, but if I don’t do anything I don’t think I can have the name of an elder.

“It’s time that elders step up in their communities and say ‘enough

Opportunistic calls POLICE are warning drivers to remove valuables and secure their vehicles to curb car thefts.

Springvale Senior Sergeant Scott Brennan said auto crime remained a problem across Greater Dandenong. “There’s no real pattern as to where it’s occurring within the area,” he said.

“Don’t leave things in your car that are visible.

Sometimes people will be opportunistic.

“Be careful about where you park your car and secure your vehicle.”

is enough’.”

By sitting together, elders can show the way for young people to get along, she said.

It’s an idea that doesn’t need funding. Aunty Di would be happy for elders to meet in a park - without the need to hire a hall.

“We should go back to the old ways - bring a plate, sit down and

do our business.

“The hardest bit is getting people together.”

She said groups needed to overcome rivalries to work through problems.

“Instead of being angry at each other that one culture thinks one culture gets more than the other half of all that is a myth.

“We all have your fear factor about certain cultures until we sit down and have that talk, learn and understand our laws and customs.”

Walker leaves indelible mark WHAT’S IN A NAME DELVES INTO THE FASCINATING STORIES AND PERSONALITIES BEHIND SOME OF THE CITY’S BEST KNOWN STREET NAMES. THIS WEEK THE JOURNAL LOOKS AT CENTRAL DANDENONG’S WALKER STREET, NAMED IN HONOUR OF EARLY SETTLER ROBERT CALDICOTT WALKER.

An early image of Walker Street looking north east.

Picture: DANDENONG AND DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

By NARELLE COULTER ROBERT Caldicott Walker is a man whose image has been lost over time, but whose contribution to early Dandenong lives on through the busy thoroughfare that bears his name.

No image of Mr Walker exists among the copious photographic archives of the Dandenong and District Historical Society.

However, what is known is that

Walker’s original selection covered what is now central Dandenong. When plans were drawn up for a town centre, Walker moved north and held the land west of Dandenong creek.

The first recorded mention of Walker in the history books is on 30 June 1846 when his stock-keeper, Henry McCurry, gave evidence in a boudary dispute.

Two years later in 1848, Walker was involved in a dispute over a beehive.

On 25 October 1848 Walker made a sworn statement before H. Pultney Dana, J.P. “at Nerre Nerre Warren” seeking the arrest of Thomas Foley for “feloniously stealing a hive of bees at the property of the said R.C. Walker”.

According to Walker the prisoner “took forcibly from my hands a hive of

bees knowing the same to be my property with a malicious and felonious intent to deprive me of the said hive of bees and unlawfully to possess himself of the same”.

Walker was an influential community figure. He helped establish the Church of England in Dandenong and was one of the first Dandenong Market commissioners.

held today at Frankston Methodist Church, was conducted by the Rev Bennetts. Mr Langford was described as “a man of tremendous initiative, drive, zeal and resourcefulness.” Mr Langford is survived by his wife, Una, who taught at Dandenong High School, where they first met, and their three children - Ruth, a doctor of philosophy, living in England; John, of Wangaratta; and David of Winsdor; and two grandchildren; and five sisters.

20 years ago 18 July 1994 Plaza new home for cenotaph DANDENONG’S Cenotaph could

soon be relocated to the northern section of Palm Plaza. The new location would give the cenotaph, presently sited in the centre section strip of Lonsdale Street, the recognition it deserves as well as giving a special focus to that part of the Palm Plaza, Dandenong councillors were told last week.

He was also one of the original benefactors who helped raise funds to establish a Church of England denominational school at Dandenong. He was one of two local identities who gave £20, a large sum in the mid-1800s.

He sat on the school committee writing letters on behalf of the committee, sometimes as the manager and other times as one of the managers.

In 1852 he bought 378 acres of land, which he called The Grange, between what is now Stud Road and the creek.

In 1857 he was appointed a trustee of the Dandenong Cemetery.

A decade later R.C. Walker left the district, selling The Grange to Captain David Ross, but bequething the city he helped develop – not just a street name but a strong civic foundation.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 16 July 1914 Did this happen in Dandenong?

A CENSUS-TAKER came to a tenement that was literally crowded with children. To the woman who was bending over the wash-tub he said: ‘Madam, I am the census-taker; How many children have you?’ ‘Well, lemme see,’ replied the woman, as she straightened up and wiped her hands on her apron. ‘There’s Mary, and Ellen and Delia and Susie and Emma and Tommy and Albert and Eddie, and Charlie and Frank and –’Madam’, interrupted the census man, ‘if you could just give

me the number--,’ ‘Number!’ she exclaimed, indignantly. ‘I want you to understand that we ain’t got to numberin’ ’em yet’. We ain’t run out o’ names!’

50 years ago 15 July 1964 DANDENONG High’s first headmaster is dead.

M.R. Percival (Percy) C.W. Langford, Dandenong High School’s first headmaster, died at Frankston Community Hospital on Monday. Mr Langford, who was 81, died when about to be transferred to Heidelberg. He taught in Dandenong from 1919-1934. The funeral service,

5 years ago 13 July 2009 THE hall of the decommissioned Doveton Secondary College site was destoryed by fire on Saturday night.

Fire crews were called to the Box

Street location about 8.30pm and found the hall engulfed in flames.

Fire officer Doug Broom of Hallam CFA told the Journal yesterday that firefighters were informed by local residents that the building had previously been inhabited by squatters and was used by local youths as a “haunt”.

Mr Broom said the fire took about two hours to bring under control and, with no access available for aerial appliances, it become a “labour intensive” fight.

Miniburst ‘war zone’

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IN A burst of several seconds, mysterious cyclonelike westerlies reduced parts of Keysborough to a “war zone” on Wednesday night.

A fast-food outlet, homes and cars in Sylvan Avenue, Sargasso Avenue, Cheltenham Road and Parkmore Shopping Centre were battered by what meterologists describe as a “microburst” about 7pm.

During the burst, scores of scattered tiles flew from smashed roofs in Sylvan Avenue. They clad the tarmac and pierced a car window, a home’s wall and another’s top-storey window up to 40 metres away.

“It’s fortunate it happened when there were no children outside playing in

the street,” Greater Dandenong SES unit controller Paul Daniel said.

“It would have been a very dangerous situation.

“The residents were staggered at the amount of damage in such a short period of time.”

A crane was taking down a standing sign outside the nearby Fasta Pasta’s store this morning after the sign was tilted off its pole during the storm.

One of the store’s roof signs sailed 200 metres across Cheltenham Road landing outside Hungry Jack’s.

Several air conditioning systems on the store’s roof were flattened during the vicious gale.

Sylvan Avenue resident

A sign that survived the storm. 123704 Jean Hanrahan lost a large number of roof tiles from the front and rear of her home.

She said she’d never encountered such an extreme gust which “blew through

the house like a train”.

Without warning, the gust dismantled a canvas swingchair in her backyard and roof tiles were strewn across the avenue.

“It was like a war zone.”

A 10-metre section of resident Gwen Thompson’s back fence was sheared off its posts, across the yard and wedging her clothesline against the wall of her house.

Mr Daniel said 20 volunteers from Greater Dandenong and Frankston units patched up 11 homes by covering roofs and windows with tarpaulins and plastic sheets.

He said the worst-hit home had lost 70 per cent of its roof tiles - some of which flew up to 40 metres away.

Mr Daniel said “substantial gums” had fallen and crushed cars in Parkmore Shopping Centre’s car park.

“We’ve had quite a bit of building damage work in Keysborough before - it’s like a wind tunnel down there.”

Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Rod Dickson said a microburst was an intense down-draft that happened during a strong shower or thunderstorm.

It occurs on the eastern side of Port Phillip once or twice every winter, he said.

“It has occurred between weather stations,” Mr Dickson said. “The thing with microbursts is they are incredibly localised phenomena spanning tens of metres or hundreds of metres.”

I AM writing to ask the mayor and councillors to show real leadership on the question of why Dandenong needs 11 per cent of residential land set aside for the residential growth zone.

We the residents request that a smaller amount, namely 0 per cent, be set aside for this purpose.

We ask that the mayor and councillors actively lobby Minister for Planning Matthew Guy and other members of the government on this matter.

As things stand, Dandenong will be the loser if nothing is done.

Patsy Horne, Dandenong.

Residents in the dark ACCORDING to the Greater Dandenong Character Study 2007, our council believes “Greater Dandenong is clearly differentiated from many other municipalities in the comparably low level of concern raised about the impact of medium density housing” (p 54). However, have residents ever directly been asked?

A resident workshop held last week raised serious concerns for the future of Greater Dandenong and the long-term cumulative impact of apartment developments in family streets in the massive Residential Growth Zone.

The Greater Dandenong Residential Growth Zone, which covers 11 per cent of residential land, is significantly larger than any other suburban municipality.

The future of Dandenong is of particular concern given it has 61.6 per cent of the municipality’s Residential Growth Zone. There is significant opportunity for residential development within the Greater Dandenong activity centres, which are zoned to allow mixed use development and higher density residential developments. If Greater Dandenong is to prosper, apartment developments need to be focused in the core where residents have immediate access to services and public open spaces.

The majority of the residential streets should be removed from the Residential Growth Zone and rezoned more appropriately to allow for incremental change while respecting neighbourhood character. Many of these residential streets are narrow and should not be overdeveloped to the point where off street parking creates safety risks to residents and restricts access to emergency services.

Our council should have thought longer and harder about what the State Government Residential Zone reforms introduced last year meant before hastily resolving to directly convert the former Residential 2 Zone to the Residential Growth

Zone. The planning minister gave all councils the discretion to determine how to best apply the new zones in consultation with their communities.

Our council chose not to consult. This historical lack of consultation has got us where we are today - with a Residential Growth Zone that is an inappropriate size. The provisions and requirements between the old Residential 2 Zone and the Residential Growth Zone are different. The Residential Growth Zone does not take neighbourhood character into consideration and allows for more non-residential uses without a permit.

These factors have prompted many other councils to restrict the size of their Residential Growth Zones to strike an appropriate balance between protecting the amenity of existing residential areas and future residential development.

While it is pleasing that the council is finally engaging with residents in the Residential Growth Zone, there are residential areas now exposed to the possibility of developments up to four storeys that are not consistent with neighbourhood character. Our council needs to act quickly to address this through a planning scheme amendment. This could take 18 to 24 months to be approved by the State Government. In the interim, the neighbourhood character that residents living in the Residential Growth Zone value is facing extinction.

Melinda Puglisi, Dandenong.

Accused told to shape up

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN has been told that he is running out of options as he escaped an immediate jail term after being berated by a Dandenong magistrate on Monday for his “flagrant” disregard for a community-based corrections order.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told that Hasid Ebadi had done none of his required 92 unpaid community work hours since the order was made in August 2013.

Ebadi had also been charged with driving while suspended on 30 May this year - which also breached the order.

“His level of compliance and attitude with his interactions with corrections officers and this court ... has not been fruitful,” magistrate Barry Schultz said.

“I regard this as one of the

most flagrant breaches of a CCO (community corrections order) in terms of non-engagement.”

Mr Schultz was “troubled”

by Ebadi’s “horrible” history of driving while disqualified which led to a three-month jail sentence in 2010 - as well as by Ebadi’s breach of a suspended jail term by driving while disqualified in 2012.

Mr Schultz said the subsequent community corrections order must have been made by a magistrate with “a very merciful disposition”.

Corrections Victoria officer Daniel McGuire told the court that a custodial sentence would be “appropriate” given a criminal history including “a number of” suspended sentences, dangerous driving and driving under the influence of liquor.

Ebadi’s lawyer said her client had been treated by a psy-

chologist for severe anxiety during his CCO. Ebadi, who is living with his mother and sister, was working six days a week and “shouldering a significant amount of the mortagage”. “(This) is a significant responsibility for him,” Ebadi’s lawyer said. “He’s gone from rebelling a bit to the confines of family life.”

Mr Schultz cancelled Ebadi’s community correction order and re-sentenced him to a two-month wholly suspended jail term and a $1000 fine with conviction.

He said he wouldn’t make an order against Ebadi’s licence because it was already suspended until June 2017.

“Your options are running out,” he told Ebadi. “For goodness sake, make a change in your life.”

Report standoff GREATER Dandenong councillor Maria Sampey has lashed out at “gutless” colleagues after withdrawing her Freedom of Information appeal to gain access to an unedited report of last year’s secret investigation into herself and Cr Peter Brown.

Cr Sampey said after mediation talks at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal this month that she was convinced her bid would fail at a full VCAT hearing because of the report’s legally-privileged status.

“The law is an ass,” she said.

“I’m banging my head against a brick wall.”

Cr Sampey said councillors had taken away her right to see the full report when they voted last year that councillors would be able to read only an edited version - ostensibily to protect council staff witnesses’ identities.

The censored report has been kept inaccessible to the public in a lawyer’s office.

“The other councillors voted for the report to be redacted before they had even seen the original,” Cr Sampey said.

“They were manipulated.

They are, basically, just seat warmers and gutless. They’re

Councillor Maria Sampey. not interested in what’s going on with their fellow councillors,” she said.

Cr Sampey has been absent from council meetings on stress leave since November, citing a “breakdown” due to the probe and its aftermath.

“How will I be able to work with them?” she said of her colleagues last week.

The “confidential and privileged” probe was launched by then-mayor Angela Long and chief executive John Bennie into the accused councillors’ conduct in allegedly upsetting council staff while demanding the repair of a botched footpath in Noble Park.

No action was taken against the pair as a result of the investigation.

Cr Brown last week said he’d “moved on” and had choosen not to read the redacted report.

“I chose not to give the process the credibility of giving my interest to it. Justice doesn’t always prevail.

“I’m still disappointed that councillors were happy to see other councillors have the blowtorch put on their bellies.

“I’ll just wait until the next election and there’ll be one or two councillors I’ll look forward to being defeated.”

He said he’d learnt from the “unpleasant experience” not to “lose my temper ... thump the table and yell at someone”.

“But I don’t think the public give a stuff.”

Mayor Jim Memeti said he would welcome Cr Sampey back at council meetings.

“As far as I was concerned, it was done and dusted when the (redacted report) decision was made.

“Maria is a good councillor.

She knows the area, she’s a former mayor.

“She hasn’t really neglected her community. She’s still taking calls and visiting residents, but it would be nice for her to come back to council,” Cr Memeti said.

Guaranteed quality.

Renovations our specialty.

YARRAMAN Oaks Primary School students hit a high note when they performed alongside some of Australia’s best opera singers in Mozart’s The Magic Flute last week.

Sixteen students from the Noble Park school were given the chance of a lifetime to be part of the Opera Australia touring production at The Drum Theatre.

The students were mentored by children’s choir specialist Alex Pringle.

“They were absolutely brilliant,” Mr Pringle said.

“This is the first time Opera Australia has involved local

children in this way, and they have been absolutely wonderful,” he said.

The touring performance updates Mozart’s famous opera to include references to movies such as The Mummy and Indiana Jones series.

The students played spirit guides, leading the protagonists through the story.

Mr Pringle spent time in Dandenong working with the young singers ahead of the arrival of the cast.

“Their level of singing has been improving every day. They have been watching these wonderful singers, who really are some of the best singers in the country. The kids get to look

and listen to them, they have been soaking up everything in rehearsal,” he said.

Mr Pringle said Opera Australia was keen to foster a new generation of singers and concert goers. He will work with 22 schools in all as the opera tours Australia over the next two years.

“The students are exposed to the theatre, the lights, they see sets being built and interact with the orchestra and the singers.

“Yarraman Oaks was really our test subject. The kids were brilliant. They become part of the production and I saw a look in their eyes which said, ‘I really want to nail this’.”

Park pooches get set free to roam

By CASEY NEILL DOG-LOVERS and their pooches are now happier and safer at a Keysborough off-leash park.

Noble Park’s Rosie Fields is among 10 to 15 people who meet at Frederick Wachter Reserve each morning with about 20 dogs.

They held a mock royal opening for new gates that the City of Greater Dandenong has installed at the park.

“We have a lovely time,” she said.

“We talk, the dogs play.

“We have a lot of fun and we’ve become friends.”

Greater Dandenong regulatory services manager Peter Shelton said the council had a program in place to expand and improve dog off-leash areas across the municipality.

“As part of this program, council trialled a fully fenced dog off-leash area in Dandenong North last year,” he said.

“The success of that trial led to council assessing other potential sites for creating a similar facility else-

where in the municipality.

“The dog off leash area at Wachter Reserve, which was already fenced along a fair proportion of its boundaries, presented as an ideal location to create the facility.

“The works were completed recently, and resident feedback to date has been very positive.”

Mr Shelton said the need for further fully fenced sites would be assessed as the dog off-leash program continued, and funding would be sought for construction where necessary.

ADVERTORIAL

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…

Home cooked goodness – home delivered FINDING the time to cook a nutritious meal every night can often be challenging. Then you need to have a seemingly endless list of ideas to keep the meals ‘new’ and not ‘boring’.

A MAN’S sob-story nearly had the desired effect in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday. The man broke down as he explained why he had not meant to have been caught drink-driving for the second time as well as telling court about the loss of his home and job in the meantime.

The magistrate said he would give him the most lenient sentence possible - a $50 donation to the court’s charitable fund. However, the magistrate said he was powerless to do anything other than impose a mandatory 12-month licence disqualification from 18 January, the day of the offence. The defendant was tearfully disconsolate. “Does that mean I have another six months (off the road) do I? It seems a bit harsh, Your Honour.” The magistrate said: “If I had any say, I’d be very sympathetic.”

“I belong to seniors and we began talking about meals one day and someone said they were using the company and we decided to give it a try”, Mavis said.

“The main reason we did it was that if anything happens

A couple who have taken advantage of the service Choice Fresh Meals offers are Jack and Mavis Kennedy.

“We have tried a few different services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals,” Mavis said.

ANOTHER defendant shook like a leaf as she faced the court for an “out-of-character” act of aggression in a shopping centre car park.

The woman exchanged words with a 69-yearold woman who berated the accused for driving the wrong way around the car park. The defendant - a mother and charity worker - then drove her BMW station wagon around the car park again, accelerating it and then braking suddenly in front of the pensioner and letting rip a spray of verbal abuse. The pensioner had to move aside to avoid the vehicle. The defendant, charged with driving in a dangerous manner, would have been locked away had the “unbelievable conduct” not been a one-off incident, the magistrate said. She was convicted and fined $2000.

RESIDENT Jean Hanrahan lost none of her humour despite having a large chunk of her roof ripped off by a micro-burst storm in Keysborough on Wednesday night. As she told the Journal her name, she saw some irony in the bush poet John O’Brien’s poem and quoted Said Hanrahan’s famous line: “We’ll all be rooned.”

POLICE are praising Greater Dandenong drivers, with statistics showing a drop in car crashes. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said crash statistics for the region were “going well”.

“The first six months of this year has been a good news story,” he said.

“We’ve had a reduction in a lot of trauma areas.

“I think that’s had a lot to do with increased enforcement. I think it’s also a case of maybe people are paying attention, getting the message.”

Sen Sgt Roberts said behaviours could always improve and urged drivers to heed road safety messages.

“It’s everyone’s responsibility for road safety, not just ours,” he said.

THERE were sighs of envy among the Dandenong and District Historical Society volunteers when they received an email from president Chris Keys on Wednesday. Chris wrote from aboard a boat as she cruised the Danube in Europe. Her main complaint was that there was so much food on board that she’d had to start skipping lunch. There was little sympathy for her plight among her historical society colleagues.

A MAN washing his clothes got an almighty fright when a car careered into a Springvale South laundromat last Thursday night.

Constable Michael Batley said the sedan hit the northwestern corner of the building, which is on the corner of Athol and Springvale roads, about 8.30pm.

“We don’t know the direction it was coming from,” he said.

“The vehicle’s gone into the wall.

“There were occupants in the vehicle that did not remain until police arrived.

“They are four young females. They were asked to remain but refused to remain.”

Const Batley has since spo-

ken to the driver and the car’s owner, but has not laid any charges.

He has also obtained CCTV images of the incident and taken a statement from a witness.

“There was one bloke who was sitting in a chair about two metres away from where the car came through,” he said.

“He got an almighty fright.

He’s OK. No one was injured.”

Const Batley said there was a hole in the building about two metres across.

“It’s cracked the whole structure of the building,” he said.

“The building’s going to have to be reinforced or torn down.”

A City of Greater Dandenong engineer attended.

“He made sure the building

was safe enough so it wouldn’t collapse if we removed the vehicle,” Const Batley said.

The heavily-damaged car was towed from the scene.

Electricians attended to shut down power to the store and surrounding area because the car struck the building’s fuse box.

“There were fears of live electricity,” Const Batley said.

“We couldn’t remove the vehicle until the electricity was shut off.”

Greater Dandenong SES unit controller Paul Daniel said his crew was called to the scene about 9.05pm.

“The job was complicated by the fact they took out a fuse box on the property, so we had to wait for the power company to arrive,” he said.

Thinking of selling or renting your home?

HOW NICHOLLS GLEDHILL CAN SAVE YOU MONEY A. We are an independent owner- operated family business established in 1965. We are not part of a franchise group or chain and operate out of our own shopping centre (The Terrace) in Endeavour Hills.

B. Consequently we are not burdened by hefty franchise fees and massive shopping centre rentals and other overheads as are most of our local competitors and can afford to pass on substantial savings to our clients.

C. We are the longest operating local agent and have been servicing Endeavour Hills for almost 30 years with well in excess of 4,000 property sales in our neighbourhood alone.

D. We are supported by the most professional and experienced sales and property management teams in the district. (Our two property managers, Laurel and Wendy, have each had over 20 years experience in this specialised field of real estate)

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.

PLANNING AHEAD GIVES BEST RETURN ENZO RAIMONDO

CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

The topic of home renovations is ever-popular.

The theme is discussed in living rooms across the state - it has also found its way on to television screens through a range of popular programs.

While it is tempting to undertake major upgrades to the home that we own, or even to invest in a house or unit that needs work, care needs to be taken to target work that will deliver the best return on investment.

The key to value adding - that is, increasing a home’s value through changes and improvements - is not only the cost of those changes but

also the building’s potential.

Buying a home to renovate for profit, whether to sell on immediately or live in for some time after it is done up, should begin with the same thorough research as any property purchase.

It is not simply a matter of surveying the building to work out what needs to be done - though, of course, this is essential because the need for major structural work, rewiring and re-plumbing may not be immediately obvious.

A good starting point is the location; what are other homes in the street and the rest of the area worth.

Check prices for homes that need

work and then for those that have been partially or fully renovated.

You can find these results online, including at www.reiv.com.au under property research/ median prices.

You can also attend local open for inspections or call your local agent.

If you are getting advice from an agent on a home that needs work, ask them to estimate the potential selling price after improvement.

It’s important to also prepare a budget for the improvements, remembering that if renovating to sell, work does have to be to the standard that buyers expect.

It’s also worth being reasonably realistic when estimating the total

cost. One of the surest things about renovations is that they are likely to cost more than intended.

There is also truth in the old saying about buying the worst house in the best street.

If you create a beautiful home in an undesirable location - for example on a main road, with train noise or under a flight path, in an industrial area or one with a high crime rate - you may risk spending more than you can recoup. Develop several scenarios such as painting and cosmetic improve-ments, changing the layout and modernisation or building an extension, and check what price it may bring.

Warm smoke welcome SMOKE filled the Dandenong government services office foyer last Thursday.

Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation conducted a smoking ceremony and welcome to country for the staff.

The event marked National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week, which from 6 to 13 July celebrated the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

NAIDOC originated to increase awareness in the wider community about the status and treatment of Indigenous Australians.

Mugging charges A GROUP of 16-year-old youths has been charged after allegedly mugging a man who had been walking along Princes Highway, Noble Park.

The 18-year-old Noble Park man was allegedly assaulted by the four boys.

Police said they stole his mobile phone about 1.30am on 4 July.

Police said the youths were found in a stolen Lexus sedan about 10pm the same day.

They were later charged with robbery and theft of a motor vehicle.

Two were remanded to appear in Melbourne Childrens’ Court last week while the other two were bailed to appear on 19 September.

In another incident, a 26-year-old Springvale man was robbed by a carload of teenagers.

The victim was walking along Sandown Road about 5.30am on 3 July when five males got out of a white five-door vehicle.

Police said they assaulted him and stole his wallet and mobile phone.

Wallara pops up to make prime TV debut MORE than 80 people watched Wallara make its prime time television debut at a special screening on 30 June.

The support service for adults with disabilities invited people to view the half-hour show broadcast on Channel 31 at 7.30pm at its Pop Up Shop in Dandenong Plaza.

A few years ago, Wallara started creating videos to capture and share the stories of people with a disability and how they lived their lives.

Wallara CEO Phil HayesBrown said his organisation shared a few with Channel 31 and were offered the 30-min-

ute spot.

“We want to change the conversation so we start talking about what people with different abilities can do, not what they can’t,” he said.

“We believe these stories matter, and by sharing them we create greater understanding and a stronger community.”

Its next episode is now in production, and Wallara is looking for sponsors to help fund the prime time slot.

Call Karen Scholey on 0418 537 711 or email kscholey@wallara.com.au.

Members of the Tangasseri Australian Association of Melbourne in traditional costume celebrating 20 years of their association.

Culture in an eclectic mix ONE of Greater Dandenong’s unique Indian communities marked its contribution to Australian society with a special 20-year annivesary celebration last month.

The Tangasseri-Australian Association of Melbourne represents migrants from a tiny town, Tangasseri (Thangassery) situated in the Kerala State, on the Southeast coast of India.

Their ethnic background reflects the confluence of Portuguese, Dutch, French and British settlers who colonised the area.

President Herwin Allen welcomed members and dignitaries to the celebration, held in Oakleigh.

Guests of honour were Indian Consul-General in

Melbourne Manika Jain and Victorian Multicultural Commissioner Abeselom Nega.

“Twenty years ago, 11 Tangasseri residents living in Melbourne decided to form an association to celebrate their culture and reunite their community, many of whom had migrated to Australia. Today the association has more than 200 members spread out across Melbourne, including long-time residents, new migrants and second-generation Australians,” Mr Allen said.

“Our inherent qualities are the result of the confluence and influence of diverse cultures in India over hundreds of years. We are characterised by our ability to assimilate, integrate, participate, tolerate

and, importantly, respect other cultures.”

The anniversary celebrations reflect the eclectic culture of Tangasseri, combining a Catholic thanksgiving service with a public function and a cultural program consisting of a Bollywood dance performance, country music, a violin solo and a pageant depicting the history of Tangasseri before and after Indian independence.

Springvale resident Grenville D’Crus is the association’s secretary.

“While we maintain the traditions and family and cultural values we inherited, we seek to promote integration with the wider community in multicultural Australia,” he said

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Manufacturing’s taxing times

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS MANUFACTURING industry jobs in Melbourne’s south-east have dropped 10.1 per cent in the past 12 months, according to Ausralian Bureau of Statistics data.

In the year up to May, manufacturing jobs in the region dropped from 56,400 to 50,700.

It was more than double the rate of manufacturing jobs lost in the state overall.

Narre Warren North state MP Luke Donnellan, who visited reconditioned engine supplier HM Gem in Dandenong last week, blamed the State Government for allowing the manufacturing industry to be “torn apart” in the region.

Mr Donnellan said manufacturing jobs increased in Queensland and South Australia during the same period.

“We are currently in an industrywide crisis, with many families ... suffering from Denis Napthine’s failure to implement any form of jobs plan for the region,” he said.

A spokesman for Minister for Manufacturing David Hodgett said busi-

Production manager Dean Taylor, Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan and Bruce Parker. 123618 Picture: ROB CAREW ness in the south-east was “generally quite strong” - employment overall had increased by 2 per cent in the region.

“The manufacturing sector is facing some enormous challenges, but we as a government have continued to support

the industry as it transitions.

“The south-east is a hub of manufacturing, and many strong companies

are well placed to take advantage of upcoming opportunities with growth in Asia.”

HM Gem managing director Bruce Parker said manufacturers had struggled, mostly because of the Federal Government Carbon Tax. Since the tax came into effect two years ago, his nationwide company’s workforce had shrunk 15 per cent to accommodate the extra $165,000 in annual electricity bills.

Mr Parker said energy suppliers had also played a part, taking advantage of the tax to exorbitantly jack up prices.

He hoped the repeal of the tax would be swift because it would take 12-18 months for manufacturers to recover from the “damage” caused by The Carbon Tax. “A lot of people I talk to in the businesses we deal with say The Carbon Tax was what broke the camel’s back,” Mr Parker said.

On the State Government level, Mr Parker said removal of payroll tax would lead to the employment of an extra worker for every 20-strong workforce.

“I have a problem with the logic of a tax on employing people.”

Vacant spaces spruced up

By CASEY NEILL Homemaker SPRINGVALE Centre’s vacant spaces are now bright, inviting areas.

Swinburne University of Technology students completed a ’space activation project’ at the centre, which is home to more than 25 major homeware and furniture stores.

Springvale Homemaker Centre (SHC) gave the students a brief and asked them to come up with concepts for using idle spaces.

A house interior and exterior have been installed and fitted with different furniture and decorations from stores in the centre.

Each item has a corresponding QR code next to it so customers can find where it’s available for purchase.

A Family Photo Wall was another implemented concept.

The students filled a wall with different photo frames, and

customers were able to submit photos of their purchases from the centre to the SHC Facebook page for a chance to appear in a frame.

SHC marketing manager Priska Budiman said the centre wanted to tap into the students’ fresh ideas.

“Activating idle spaces within the centre with engaging and interactive ideas has enabled the centre to create more of an impression on our shoppers,” she said.

“The students have really been able to capture the essence of the centre and our retailers are therefore making a deeper connection with our shoppers.

“We often see customers stop to take the time to read about what the project is all about and appreciating the works.”

The students involved are undertaking a visual merchandising diploma or a interior design and decoration diploma

and were involved from conception through to display construction.

“By having the students involved from the very beginning of the project, they’ve been able to get a real insight into how the industry would usually work,” project co-ordinator and visual merchandising teacher Di Matthews said.

Student Natasha Teo said working on the project had helped prepare her for future employment.

“The confidence I have gained working alongside other designers and tradesmen is something I will take with me,” she said.

“I was treated with respect and it made me feel more like a designer and less like a student.”

Student Fiona McFarland said the project helped her understand how every step of the process occurred and worked in with the other stages.

Swinburne students Tegan Whiteside, Sara Tucker, Fiona McFarland, teacher Dianne Matthews and Natasha Teo.

Bypass video goes up online

Native trees find a home VOLUNTEERS planted more than 430 native trees at Bunurong Memorial Park last weekend.

The planting took place along the Bangholme cemetery’s EastLink boundary and included river red gums and allo casurinas.

Dreary weather conditions at the 6 July event didn’t stop children and adults from lending a hand to beautify the site, which Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust manages.

Eve is all rugged up for the activity.

Father and son Lachie and Simon Hirth work together.

Phil Snow plants a tree.

Paxon gets his hands dirty.

AN ANIMATION of what the finished Dingley Bypass will look like is now online.

Roads Minister Terry Mulder released the video last week.

“The animation has been designed to give the local community a bird’s eye view of what the $156 million project will look like once completed,” he said.

“Once complete, the 6.4 kilometre Dingley Bypass will link Warrigal Road at Moorabbin and Westall Road at Dingley Village.

“The Dingley Bypass completes a missing link between Moorabbin and Dandenong South, and will revolutionise how local traffic and industry go about their day-to-day business.

“Once complete, local traffic will be separated from through-traffic, reducing congestion, particularly on busy roads such as Centre Dandenong, Kingston, Heatherton and Old Dandenong roads.”

Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said the project was due to start later this year and was vital to remove traffic from the rapidly-growing industrial and commercial areas off local roads.

The project will take about two years to complete. Visit www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/dingleybypass to view the video.

Full-strength Stingrays

By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG swam away easily with a 65-point win in the slop over Bendigo Pioneers.

With four big name inclusions - Tom Lamb, Aaron Wilson and co-captains Jack Lonie and Daniel Capiron - returning from Vic Country duties, it was on-paper the most power-packed Dandenong line-up to hit the field this season.

In conditions wet enough for one of the supporters to bring their boat, Dandenong and Bendigo had to contend with the rain and a mud-packed centre square, which lead to a slow opening term.

Despite the star-filled line-up, the first quarter didn’t mesh for the Stingrays though - as the champion team failed to fire - kicking only one goal early in the quarter.

Injury to Jacob Weitering, forcing the key defender to head to the goal square to contest what he could, and a red-card to Keegan Downie halted the Stingrays’ surge, but after half-time the match was played on their terms.

Throughout the second half the match firmly

belonged to the Shepley Oval boys as Dandenong kicked 11 of the next dozen goals to seal the emphatic win.

The win could have been an even bigger percentage booster, but the conditions did not lend to straighter striking as Dandenong kicked 15 behinds.

Quadruple goal hauls from Taylor Joyce - now into equal second just two goals behind North Ballarat’s Jesse Palmer in the TAC Cup goal kicking - and 17-year-old Somerville goal-sneak Lachlan Williams impressed the coach with their forward efforts to put the match beyond doubt.

Coach Craig Black tinkered with the line-up once again to great effect as he put full-back Daylan Kempster in the ruck to chop out for Aaron Pawel with first choice ruckman Elliot Hunt unavailable.

Black also switched Mr Versatile - Tom Lamb - to the half-back line and he earned his stripes linking up the play from the defensive end while Aaron Wilson, Sam Geurts and Blake Mullane also earned best afield mentions.

Falling asleep at the wheel SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE Division 2 - round 12 WAS Springvale Districts Football Club asleep after half-time?

There aren’t many other logical answers to describe their fade-away against Highett at Newcomen Road on Saturday.

The sum of their early work - a 24-point half-time lead earned by Craig Keenan, Rob Johnston and Lance Baptist (two goals apiece) - was not replicated down the final straight as the Bulldogs snatched the eight-point win from the Demons.

Kicking one-goal-nine after the main break, Springvale Districts had its aim off as the economy of Highett stole the match with two less scoring shots.

David Verlardo and Daniel Marshall slotted the last three goals between them to help the Bulldogs storm home to victory.

For the Demons, Daniel Wilson and Gavin Vassallo

Lachlan Batten keeps his head over the ball despite pressure from Bendigo. 123786 Picture: JARROD POTTER “First quarter we were a little disappointing and second to the footy,” Black said.

“But after quarter time I thought the boys cracked in and were a lot better.”

The third-placed Stingrays start of a tough month leading in to finals begins this weekend as Dandenong faces fifth-placed Sandringham before clashing with Oakleigh (ladder leader), Western Jets (seventh) and Geelong (sixth).

“I think we’ve got a really good challenge coming,” Black said.

“We play some really good teams - if we’re playing our best footy it’s a really good opportunity for the guys to prove themselves against some top sides.”

Dandenong heads to Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday with the opening bounce at 2pm.

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 13

The loss pushes Springvale Districts outside of the top five and it will be a fight to stay in contention when the Demons clash with Hampton on Saturday.

Division 3 - round 13

Gavin Vassallo proved to be prominent in Springvale Districts’ eight-point loss to Highett. 123787 Picture: JARROD POTTER fought for their touches to earn best afield honours while Justin Doust streamed out of defence and through the midfield all match to great effect.

Dandenong shone under Friday night lights at Hallam to take a 10-point win over the Hawks. Daniel Atkin led from the front as the coach booted four goals while Brodie O’Loughlin was best on ground with a pair of goals and a game’s worth of hard-fought possessions to his name.

Sandown had a handy percentage booster with a 19.19 (133) to 1.2 (8) win over Endeavour Hills. Feasting on the Falcons were Cobras duo Matthew Davis and Jake Chapman (four goals each) while Daniel Macklin starred in the demolition.

While Lyndale came from behind to knock off Ashwood by 28 points and move up to third on the SFL Division 3 ladder.

Muddy end to stampede

By JARROD POTTER THE task ahead is daunting but simple for Noble Park.

Every clash is a ‘mustwin’ for the Bulls to stand any chance of qualifying for EFL Division 1 finals following a heart-breaking one-point loss to Montrose on Saturday.

The battered Bulls toiled in the steadily worsening conditions at the Bullring and once the heavens opened in the third term, goals became a precious rarity.

A bicep injury to Stewart Kemperman left the Bulls down a rotation off the bench from the early stages of the match and other Bulls showed the signs of strain, but battled on with their season virtually on the line.

What turned out to be the match winning goal was forged half way through the final term from a hard lead off Matt Petracca, who slotted his set shot

to boost the Demons’ lead to six.

The Bulls fired it forward immediately after the Petracca goal and a floater over the back of the pack was snapped up by Luke Cody on a tough angle.

The Noble Park faithful couldn’t believe Cody’s fourth quarter snap-around-the-body was called a point as the goal umpire craned his neck upwards and deemed it went over and past the goal post.

Captain Craig Anderson brought the margin back to a point with less than a minute left - taking a courageous mark while copping a whack to the upper torso that resulted in him kicking from dead in-front.

The final stoppage was kept in close quarters as Montrose held the pill through two bounces and waited for the siren to sound on their most important win to date in Division 1.

Matt Jones and Brett Dore

snagged two apiece for the Bulls while coach Jon Knight also praised Sam Monaghan, Tim Kelly and Trent Cody for their attack on the ball.

“I suppose we have won one by a point, but in terms of how our season is, it’s really disappointing,” Knight said.

“We didn’t play that well and probably didn’t deserve to win as our players were really down today.”

Wins are needed from here out to keep the Bulls chances of returning to the finals alive.

“We have to win every game and percentage doesn’t really matter with the draw we had - but we had two one-point games this week and if either was a draw our percentage is a worry,” Knight said.

Noble Park has a bye next weekend before the first of its do-or-die clashes against Scoresby.

SPORT

An Englishman’s footy

By JARROD POTTER RUNNING the boundary and waving the flags for over 20 years, Southern Football League umpire David Weatherhead stood tall in his 500th senior match.

Weatherhead, 68, who lives in North Dandenong, flocked to the sport after emigrating from Leicester, England in the 1970s.

His first foray in football wasn’t to play the sport, but to pick a VFL (now AFL) team choosing his beloved Geelong Cats - but after 10 years on the boundary watching the sport he decided to pitch in and get involved.

Weatherhead donned the white uniform running the boundary for the Eastern Football League in 1991 as a late convert to the profession at 46-years-old to help pay the bills, but has grown to love the sport of his adopted country.

“I just enjoy it,” Weatherhead said.

“The people you meet are

great and you get used to the abuse but now I don’t cop too much.

“I took up umpiring at the age of 46 and now 68 - I never played, just umpired - initially just for the money - but then the interest got me.”

Into his 23rd season of umpiring - 18 with the EFL, four with the SFL and a 50-50 split between boundary and goal umpiring - Weatherhead decided to switch across to the SFL and has been waving the flags in the league, especially at Power Reserve in Doveton, ever since.

He prefers to stick in the goals nowadays - as there’s “less running” but always enjoyed his time patrolling the white line and looked back fondly on three back-to-back reserves’ EFL grand finals as his umpiring highlight.

His 500th match was held on Saturday as SFL Division 2 team Doveton Eagles clashed with Oakleigh District at Power Reserve.

FOOTBALL FEDERATION VICTORIA - Dockerty Cup

Hard work ahead

By JARROD POTTER SOUTH Springvale’s next challenge en route to the Dockerty Cup final will get physical.

IT will be the Aris versus the Saints as South Springvale faces NPL1 soccer team St Albans in the cup semi-final on Wednesday night.

Following an emphatic 3-0 win over Hume FC in the Dockerty Cup quarter final, South Springvale coach Bill Lambropoulos said the hard work is ahead of them to knock off the Saints and advance past the final-four into the grand final.

“I’ve been out to watch St Albans against Bulleen Monday week ago,” Lambropoulos said.

“They’re a disciplined opposition and it’s going to be a very, very hard game.

“Physically they’re going to test us, but it’s 90 minutes of football and we’re going to give it all we’ve got.”

South Springvale will get

Ricky Diaco and Nicholas Katsamboukas back from injury to make for a difficult selection meeting this week.

“We should get a little bit stronger - get a couple of boys back and still have a couple out,” Lambropoulos said.

“But it’s definitely going to be a tough decision to pick the starting 11 for Wednesday night.”

Lambropoulos encouraged all South Springvale fans and everyone in Greater Dandenong to rally behind the Aris boys on Wednesday night and make the trek out to Heidelberg’s Olympic Park Stadium.

South Springvale has also drawn South Cardiff in the FFA Cup to be played on 29 July at Kingston Heath SC. “Worked out really well for us to play at home,” Lambropoulos said.

“We’re going to have great local support and that will give us a bit of a lift.

“The team we’ve drawn is as good as it could have been

Kick off between South Springvale and St Albans Saints FC is 7.30pm on Wednesday night at Olympic Park, Catalina Street, Heidelberg.

CHEERING on another state championship victory, Dandenong Baseball Association toasted its under-16 boys’ team last weekend as it claimed the Division 1 title with a 9-7 win over Ringwood.

Heading off to Mildura for the championships last weekend, the association made its way to the ersatz finale to clash with one of the benchmark baseball associations in Victoria and the match against Ringwood was a nail biter.

The Ringwood association hit past Dandenong in the fifth innings, but the 100-minute match clock elapsed while Dandenong had runners on base and the score reverted to the previous completed innings to give the local lads a two-run triumph.

“There were some pretty good games played and the boys played well so we’re very happy with that,” DBA coach Ian Madden said.

“We weren’t supposed to have a grand final, it was meant to be whoever finished on top over two games, but we were only half a game out, so it ended up being a grand final anyway, but it was a pity that time ran out.”

The coach praised Mitchell Wilcox on the mound,

who pitched fantastically to restrict Ringwood in the last game, while Dingley’s Sam Drummond - who was named the association’s most valuable player by the opposition coaches - Aiden Willis and Angus Octigan also struck it cleanly throughout the series.

Most importantly for the coach, it was a team-wide effort that took the title.

“As a whole the boys were a really tight knit team and that’s what we selected,” Madden said.

“A bunch of boys who could play as a team - and teams like that normally come out on top.”

Pateman… King for a day

FOOTBALL FEDERATION VICTORIA - National Premier Leagues

By JARROD POTTER NOT even losing his whip down the final straight could stop Steven Pateman capturing his fourth-consecutive Grand National Hurdle.

Pateman, 30, who lives in Berwick, stole the show aboard Patrick Payne trained Sea King, taking the $200,000 race win at Sandown’s Sportingbet Park on Sunday as he guided the seven-year-old gelding to the 3900-metre jumps win ahead of Stand To Gain and Wells.

All eyes were on Darren Weir’s champion gelding Gotta Take Care to see if it could capture the triple and win the whopping $300,000 bonus after already taking the Galleywood Hurdle and the Australian Hurdle.

Unfortunately for the son of Rubiton, Gotta Take Care didn’t relish the conditions which suited the New Zealand bred Sea King sired

by Shinko King, which ran out four length winner in the lucrative race.

Pateman only found out this week he’d be racing for his fourth Grand National Hurdle in a row, but put the pressure out of his mind as he stormed home aboard Sea King.

“It’s unreal,” Pateman said.

“I wasn’t aware of the history until a couple of days ago but there was nothing I could do about it before the race, but I was rapt to get it done.

“The race panned out exactly like Patrick (Payne) said it would… he’s just too tough and too well sea-

Trainer Payne said the horse had only been in the country for less than a month and had already claimed a win earlier in its Australian campaign.

“He’s a great horse and only came over from New Zealand three weeks ago and has already won at

Warrnambool,” Payne said.

“To come and win this race today (Sunday) he’s a bit of a strange horse - he’s a quirky horse and got a bit of a rubber neck and can be erratic and can take off early at times.

“But he’s got a very good engine and just keeps going.”

Payne hopes to qualify Sea King for the Grand National Steeplechase later this year.

Pateman could do no wrong on Sunday as he rode Bashboy to the Crisp Steeplechase race three victory to take a jumps double at Sportingbet Park.

IT WAS a win-win situation for the Rangers, knocking off the Spectres in both clashes in Saturday’s double-header.

Larissa Anderson’s troops had to scuffle to seize a tightly fought 65-57 win.

Dandenong held the Spectres off the scoreboard for the first five minutes - taking an 11-0 lead before Nunawading started to catch-up ground to take a slender lead through the second term.

The battle of the night was between Melbourne Boomers team mates as Dandenong’s Amelia Todhunter (14 points, 7 rebounds) and Nunawading’s Bec Cole (18 points) were left to fight it out at the top of the key.

Out-rebounding the oppo-

sition 39-27, Dandenong kept Nunawading away from precious second chance baskets as the quartet of Lauren Scherf, Faith Probst, Todhunter and Clare Papavs all rallied under the ring.

Tenaya Phillips (14 points) impacted the scoreboard as did emerging centre Scherf (14 points, 6 rebounds).

Dandenong’s 15-2 record gives the Rangers a clear lead atop the SEABL East ladder with games in hand over the next three chasing sides, they now face Launceston on Saturday.

The men followed up the women’s great start by chasing down the fast-starting Spectres 107-96.

Finishing the night with 18-three pointers, Darren Perry’s charges shared the ball as seven Rangers nailed a three.

Best of the bunch was Andrew Harms (25 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists) who slammed four treys while Tony Lewis (23 points, 10 rebounds) and Daequon Montreal (19 points) also led the comeback.

Dandenong moves to second in SEABL East with a 13-5 record and two games in hand over the 16-4 Geelong Supercats.

Dandenong hosts North West Tasmania on Saturday night.

A BLEAK night for the Dandenong Thunder was reflected in the skies and on the scoreboard.

It could not get much worse for Thunder as the home side conceded a 1-4 home loss on a cold, rainy night at George Andrews Reserve.

Thunder keeper Zaim Zaneli was under siege from the get-go as Knights rattled off a trio of first-half goals.

Stipo Andrijasevic, Daniel Visevic and Ivan Grgic blasted the lead out to 3-0 in the Knights’ favour at the 20-minute mark.

Newly recruited Thunder striker Carl Lamb struck cleanly to bring the margin back to two goals just after the half-time resumption, but 15 minutes later the game was iced as Michael Doyle sealed the Knights’ charge with a header off a corner to take the three-goal victory.

Dandenong has tumbled down the NPL ladder to ninth place with a 6-7-3 record and a minus-11 goal difference and will need to bounce back when it hosts Bentleigh Greens on Saturday night.

In other results, Dandenong City could not be separated against Box Hill United in a 0-0 draw while Springvale White Eagles lost narrowly to North Geelong 2-3.

Red dog’s day

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FROM now on, Tilly is also known as Melbourne’s Red Dog. Tilly had been missed and missing for six months after jumping her Bayswater owner’s fence after being terrified by New Year’s Eve fireworks.

Owner Emma Redfern’s hope for a reunion had by stages dimmed after she plastered up posters across Melbourne’s east, pored through lost pets websites and spread the word with 2000 shares on Facebook.

By chance one of those Facebook friends last month saw a posted picture of the fouryear-old labrador-kelpie cross on Greater Dandenong Council Lost and Found Pets Facebook page.

Somehow Tilly had been found by the council’s animal management officers cowering under a school portable building in Dandenong North during the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

It had taken several hours to coax the timid pooch, who was well-fed but suffering rashes around her eyes, out of her comfortable hide.

As it turned out, the council had been unable to contact Ms Redfern because Tilly’s microchip details pointed to her pre-

Ms Redfern filmed her emotional reunion with Tilly at The Lost Dogs Home in Cranbourne on Friday 13 June - described by her as “the best day of my life”.

“Who would think our luck turned on Friday the 13th?”

Aptly, it has been posted on a new Facebook page Tilly, Melbourne’s Red Dog with a thank you note to all who had helped with the search.

On the video, it’s clear it took Tilly a while to believe that she was seeing and hearing her owner again.

She sits with her ears pricked up for a long time before unleashing her relief with furious tail-wags and great bounds.

Her three boys Jay, Ben and TJ had “dreamt of that day for six months and understand there’s a new house rule”.

“She’s an indoors dog now,” Ms Redfern said.

MERCEDES has launched new models in the S-Class range.

One was a long-wheelbase version of the S400, a model that’s likely to attract the attention of the limo fleets as it has stretch-out rear seat space and plenty of performance.

With a price tag, excluding on-road costs, of $230,000 it’s not exactly a bargain but you do get a lot of German upper-luxury class for your money.

If you’ve got lots more money to spare why not go for the big gun - the Mercedes S600. With a huge V12 engine up front it now displaces a handy 6.0 litres.

Pumping up that big capacity by attaching twin turbochargers and you finish up with the equivalent of about 10 litres of grunt.

It puts out no less than 525 horsepower (390kW) with torque being a ridiculously high 830Nm at a ridiculously low 1900rpm.

The Mercedes-Benz S600 also runs the LWB body. With a manufacture’s recommended list price of $451,000 it’s not for the fainthearted.

Oh, and don’t forget to factor in the on-road costs… most of which go to the government in the form of stamp duty and registration charges.

For the revhead who likes his cars large, Mer-

Mercedes-Benz S 400 is now offered with long-wheelbase body as well as the standard one. cedes-Benz Australia can provide the S63 AMG. Its list price is $385,000 plus on-roads, but that sort of cash buys you a 575 horsepower V8 long-wheelbase high-performance car with torque that peaks at 900 Newton metres.

Stocks are relatively limited so we suggest talking to your dealer soon if you’ve got half an interest in getting into one of these machines.

To test drive the Mercedes inquire at Mercedes Benz Berwick, 518 Princes Highway, Berwick. Phone 1300 622 622.

Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG offers 575 horsepower of high-class muscle car.
