■ “We’re forever hopeful but have been forever disappointed”...
Merger mess By CASEY NEILL WHY continue with a merger? That’s the question hanging over Chandler Park Primary School and the former Maralinga Primary School. The Keysborough schools came together five years ago but are still operating from separate campuses and waiting for funding to accommodate all students at Chandler. Principal Peter Paul spoke out in the Journal in May when the $5.7 million needed didn’t appear in the 2014-’15 State Budget, and last week met with Education Department representatives. “They made the statement that there’s not a thing we can do to promote the cause any further,” he said. “We just have to wait. “If nothing is going to happen, and every promise offered is broken, why would you continue with a merger? “Our merger was based on the fact that until the buildings were all finished, we’d run two sites. “If we don’t have any timeframe then we’re not changing much. “Let the two schools get on with it. “Something’s got to happen. This is not going to continue the way it’s continued.” The Labor Party has committed $500,000 to planning works if it’s elected to govern-
ment in November. “We’re more interested in a finish of the project, not the start of the project, but we’ve got to start somewhere,” Mr Paul said. “We just want movement. Movement in this area has been absolutely glacial. “We’re forever hopeful but have been forever disappointed. “This is not the proverbial elastic band. We’re not just going to be stretched and stretched and hoping something happens. “The school board will have to make a decision.” Lyndhurst MP Martin Pakula said the school had entered into a merger in good faith and the State Government had left it in limbo. “Further work at Chandler Park cannot proceed without detailed architectural work and that is what we are funding at this stage,” he said. “But it’s clear that the merger works need to be completed as agreed, and that the value of the Maralinga Avenue site exceeds the cost of the remaining work. “So finishing the job should be possible without any additional net cost to the budget.” A spokeswoman for Education Minister Martin Dixon said the State Government was “balancing the capital and maintenance needs of more than 1500 government schools across Victoria”.

U-turn proved costly By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DRINK-driver who crashed his mother’s car while performing a Uturn to avoid a booze bus checkpoint in Dandenong has been disqualified from driving for two-and-a-half years. Paul Tomaselli, 29, of Noble Park pleaded guilty at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday to driving under the influence, careless driving, using a mobile phone while driving and driving an unregistered vehicle. The court was told that soon after the crash on 28 February, Tomaselli
recorded a 0.192 blood-alcohol level - nearly four times the legal limit. “You might have been better off being pulled over,” magistrate Greg Connellan told the accused. “If someone was killed or injured, you wouldn’t be in this court. You’d be listening to someone trying to persuade the court not to impose five years’ jail. “Had you had priors for this type of thing, I’d probably imprison you.” He said there was a “reasonable implication” that Tomaselli had attempted the U-turn after reading a text message on his mobile stating
there was a police booze bus on the way into Dandenong. Police prosecutor Amitoj Singh said Tomaselli had flattened a turning-traffic light across three lanes of Princes Highway near the Heatherton Road-EastLink intersection while trying to U-turn a station wagon about 8.20pm. Police said Tomaselli was demonstrably drunk at the scene and was slurring his words, smelling of liquor, tripping over several times and later needing help to climb the booze bus steps. Tomaselli told the court he was “extremely intoxicated” at the time
and didn’t remember jumping into his mother’s car - which was written off after the crash. He said he had gone out drinking and had intended to drive to a friend’s house to talk about arguments he had been having with his girlfriend at the time. He said he’d swapped drinking for a martial arts “discipline”, having lost his residence, relationship and much of his sub-contracted carpentry work since the crash. Mr Connellan imposed a 30-month driving disqualification and an $1800 fine to reflect the “seriousness of the event”.
Theft attempt bashing A 17-YEAR-OLD boy has been attacked in an attempted robbery in Springvale South. The victim was approached by a male outside a community centre on Mackay Street as he walked home on 16 July about 7.40am. The victim was punched to the face after refusing the stranger’s demands for his wallet. His face was cut and his glasses fell and were damaged. The would-be robber, of African appearance, was driving a grey VE Commodore sedan.

Sergeant Andrew Smart and Jonathon Moule work on the donated car. 124371 Picture: GARY SISSONS said: “Most of the kids who do badly at school do really well here because they’re using their hands.” She said the units they completed at HBT would count toward auto industry apprenticeships. “Nine weeks here can literally cut 12 months off an apprenticeship,” she said.
The course also sends participants into apprenticeships with a head-start in auto knowledge, an idea of what aspect of the industry they’re good at and enjoy, and job interview techniques. HBT also picks up donated vehicles to use for parts, to sell for scrap or restore. Students must be aged between
15 and 20 years old and have basic literacy and numeracy skills, a willingness to learn and gain employment and a genuine interest in the automotive industry. Call 9793 1466 for more information. Hand Brake Turn is at 7 Hilton Street, Dandenong.

DANDENONG police are helping local youths get a start in the auto industry. They donated a car and two motorcycles to Concern Australia’s Hand Brake Turn (HBT) last Wednesday, 23 July. The not-for-profit Concern Australia program gives 15 to 20-yearolds a chance to get their lives on track through training in mechanics, panel beating and spraying. It runs five nine-week courses throughout the year and students who complete it achieve a certificate II in autobody repair technology. Dandenong Sergeant Joseph Herrech said the donation was a way of giving back to the local community. “We’ve been working with Hand Brake Turn for seven years,” he said. “As part of the program, participants are given the opportunity to develop practical, hands-on skills which can be the first step towards a more positive and secure future. “The vehicles that we’re donating were part of a pool of items that were abandoned or unclaimed. “They’ll be used for training purposes to give participants the skills required to work in the automotive industry.” HBT manager Marc Clothier said many program participants had experienced difficulty within the mainstream education system. “Without donations such as these, we wouldn’t be able to run programs that not only develop practical skills but social development, positive thinking and confidence,” he said. Young people generally come to HBT through referrals from job agencies and schools. spokeswoman Rebecca Kats

Finding a lost generation POLICE and Young Leaders Engagement Team (PYLET) is set to launch mark two of its successful community policing program in Greater Dandenong. Since last year, the PYLET team Victoria Police officers and volunteer community leaders - have reached out to young people out in Greater Dandenong on Friday and Saturday nights. We’ve been mainly working with anti-social behaviour in our public parks. One important thing the young leaders have done is help kids who are ‘lost’ come back into their community and get involved with positive mentors. It has reinforced for me that issue young people who don’t have positive role models. These lost kids instead find their identity with groups of young people

in a similar situation. This perpetuates their risky behaviour and leads them to getting involved in the judicial system. Once there, it’s really hard to find a way out. One wrong choice can lead to a lifetime of incarceration. We have worked with a group of five 16 to 21-year-olds quite intensely in the past year. Twelve months ago they were alcoholics with severe drug problems. They were being stopped by police on a daily basis for drinking and boisterous behaviours in public parks. They’d get up in the morning then try to get as drunk as they can, spend
the rest of the day drinking until they’re unconscious or on drugs as well. Looking back, I’d have been shocked if we didn’t find one of them incarcerated or dead by now. They’ve avoided that through intensive follow-up with PYLET, Greater Dandenong police’s multicultural unit and the substance treatment service YSAS. We couldn’t do it without YSAS. They get the kids involved in detox programs and give them primary health care - because their health is in a really bad state. We look at the causal factors. This group has suffered historic trauma that leads them to self-medicate, to cheer themselves up. They also don’t have that positive mentor around at home. But gradually the behaviours are changing for the better; their drug and substance use are reducing.
I’d say in 12 months’ time, if they stay on this path, they might be ready for employment and schooling, instead of long-term incarceration. PYLET has freed up operational police resourcing on these busy nights. Our team can go in and manage a situation earlier in the evening, approaching people who might have been creating issues later in the evening. It allows PYLET police who are multi-skilled in helping young people to do their job, and operational members to do other work. The program has got the backing of Victoria Police command. It’s been noted as good practice in Victoria Police’s ‘blue paper’ and the program has expanded into Frankston. These things highlight that bringing volunteers into community policing is a needed move.
It says any community issue does not just require a punitive response from police to take care of it; it’s a problem for the whole community to solve. It has also opened up the thinking for other police. We’ll be looking to recruit more operational police to patrol with us and interact with young people on a different level. When we’re out on patrols giving out brochures, we’ve had so much interest from the community. It’s like we’ve created an opportunity for the community to help and they’re hopping at it. We have a pool of 40-50 volunteers to bring out with us but we’re still keen to get more. To volunteer, email joseph.herrech@police.vic.gov.au.

Sideline concerns By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
A DISABILITY advocate has lashed out at the lack of people with disabilities on Greater Dandenong Council’s recently-appointed Disability Advisory Committee. Sharon Harris, a former Greater Dandenong councillor and outspoken disability advocate, was among 10 appointments to the council’s other advisory body, the Disability Community Reference Group. She said her group would “not have so much say” and a “more minor role” than the DAC - which advises the council at a broad policy and strategic level. “No-one who is on the ground level are going to be there (on the DAC). “There are people working in departments and management who are working with people with a disability every day but do they have a disability themselves?
“What good is it if you don’t have anybody on the ground and really understanding what it’s all about?” Ms Harris has spoken out against public hazards and inadequate taxi services for wheelchair users such as herself. She had hoped to be included into the DAC to push for higher disabilityaccess standards. Kerbside ramp gradients, as one example, were too steep for wheelchair users because of lax standards, she said. Ms Harris said she mistakenly agreed to join the DCRG rather than the DAC after a recent discussion with a council officer. The DAC’s selection criteria included working in disability services, policy development and planning. Councillor Matthew Kirwan, who initiated the disability advisory pro-
cess, said he had “mixed feelings” about separating the groups. “Having a combined group would be ideal in principle but getting people with different skill sets, perspectives and focus... I saw as potentially too hard to work optimally in practice. “I don’t necessarily think the DAC’s insights or recommendations will be limited, as they are meant to consult with the community reference group (but) I do understand that there is a risk there that has to be monitored.” He said there was nothing stopping a person with a disability being on either group. “From a personal perspective I didn’t put so much work into getting both groups off the ground to be content with them being ornaments or paper tigers. “I will strongly advocate for them to have real influence.”

Voices raised to break the silence of disabled THERE are all sorts of slights that Michelle Davis has wanted to speak up about. Born deaf due to rubella, Ms Davis said one of those instances was being unable to access an interpreter at hospital. “When I was taken to emergency by ambulance due to an asthma attack I asked the doctor to organise the interpreter and he refused. “That’s discrimination and that’s why I am fighting for my rights.” This month Ms Davis graduated from a Dandenong-based Women with Disabilities Victoria leadership program which teaches about human rights and how to speak up. She said the four-day program taught her about different types of advocacy, selfesteem and to “stand up and be strong”. “We are worth it and so speak up and say ‘we are loud, proud, passionate’.” In the forum, each of the 10 participants spoke about their experiences and worked out solutions to their social treatment. It was run in “easy English” to encourage participants from a range of cultural backgrounds. A master’s student, Ms Davis has worked a number of jobs such as cashier, customer service and freight

A MAN has been charged over a cannabis haul valued at up to $800,000 which was found in a burning Springvale South ‘grow house’. Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton of Greater Dandenong CIU said police had been alerted by fire crews who had attended a blaze in the building’s roof in Olympic Avenue on 19 July at 5.45pm. Police found a “hydroponic cannabis cultivation system” in four rooms and seized 221 plants weighing 50 kilograms. Sergeant Kirton said that fully grown the plants might fetch a street value of between $600,000 and $800,000. He said grow houses generally posed a “significant risk” to occupants and neighbours due to the risk of fires starting from amateurishly-installed electrical bypass systems that were used to steal power. “(The public should) be vigilant to people coming and going from rental properties at odd times.” Tien Nguyen, 21, was charged with cultivating a commercial quantity of cannabis. He was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court next month.
Man’s service medals stolen

Charges grow after drug raid
A DECEASED ex-World War II serviceman’s medals have been stolen from his son’s Keysborough home. Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said the medals were stored in a safe, which was taken during a burglary of the Fabian Court house between 7.30am and 10am on 11 July. The medals, though not financially valuable, held “significant sentimental value” for the son, Sergeant Kirton said. The medals are a 1939-45 Star, a Pacific Star, a 1939-45 War Medal and an Australian Service Medal, all inscribed with the name Richard H. A. Mepstead. Richard Mepstead, who died 14 years ago, had served in the Royal Australian Air Force in the Pacific theatre during the war, Sergeant Kirton said. “The son is very upset and keen to be reunited with the medals,” Sergeant Kirton said. “They’re service medals, only valuable to the family due to the sentimental worth. “More than likely, (the offenders) didn’t know what was in the safe (at the time).”

Tribute to downed flight ABOUT 30 people paid tribute to flight MH17 victims in Bangholme last Thursday night. Bunurong Memorial Park hosted a service to provide time and space to reflect and mourn, and show solidarity and support for the families and friends of those killed in the tragedy. The Malaysia Airlines flight was shot from the sky over the Ukraine on 17 July. Celebrant Brendan McGreal conducted the service, which also included a speech from South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Gordon RichPhillips. SES volunteers attended and psychologist Di McGreal spoke about managing grief. Condolence books are available at Springvale and Dandenong libraries and at Mr Rich-Phillips’s electorate office for anyone who wants to pay their respects to the families affected by the disaster. Messages will be passed on to the Victorian Government to be compiled into a single condolence book at a later date.

In the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court a judge pondered on an accused’s sentence and asked him “what do you want me to do today?” The accused replied: “I’m wanting something small”. QUITE a few politicians turned out in support of the annual Noble Park Community Centre Art Show last Thursday. One of the pollies, in an aside, mentioned there were a few different artists at the event - including those of the BS artist variety.

Minister praises the drive of Dandenong MANUFACTURING Minister David Hodgett has praised Greater Dandenong businesses for keeping the industry strong. Last Tuesday he visited IVECO Australia, Bombardier Transportation Australia and GlassCo Australia, which have all received State Government grants to grow. Mr Hodgett said they were all “essential to the retention of Victoria’s highly skilled manufacturing workforce”. “Each company’s determination to boost productivity by accessing new markets demonstrates an approach that is essential to maintain-
DJ
ing a secure future for Victoria’s manufacturing industry,” he said. GlassCo Australia specialises in double and triple glazed units for the building and refrigeration industries and received a $250,000 Investing in Manufacturing Technology program grant in 2012. It purchased a $1.5 million automatic insulating glass unit manufacturing line and ancillary plant and equipment. “That has helped the company increase its full-time staff numbers from seven to 17,” Mr Hodgett said. “The new machine will enable
GlassCo to increase its productivity, grow market share and reduce its dependence on imported products.” South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Gordon Rich-Phillips said IVECO was the fifth largest seller of large commercial vehicles in Australia and manufactured 1000 trucks a year at its Dandenong South facility. “It’s also one of only three local manufacturers of its kind in Australia and employs 240 staff at its Victorian sites,” he said. He said the State Government was helping IVECO develop a road train version of its Powerstar range
of heavy trucks and update its range of ACCO medium duty trucks. Bombardier employs more than 350 staff in Dandenong South, is building and maintaining V/Line’s two and three-car VLocity trains, and in 2010 won a $300 million contract to supply 50 new trams for Melbourne, with options for another 100. He said the State Government’s Business Office in Dandenong helped Bombardier complete its test track “which is essential for the company to be able to deliver new trams”.
A WORD of warning about a telecommunications scam doing the rounds. A Dandenong resident was harassed by a caller who purported to be ringing on behalf of Telstra. He had insisted there was a critical fault with the resident’s line and that the resident really needed to log on to a special website on their computer for protection. The scammer was persistent - the resident hung up about five times - but was ultimately unconvincing. NEW recycling bins across Greater Dandenong will receive new lids - at no cost to the council. Aileen Jordan told the Journal that a dip between the handles collected water and “every time it rains and you go to open the lid or move the bin, you get wet or the water runs into the bin”. Acting engineering services director Dino De Melis said that some recycling bin lids did not meet the council’s design requirements. “To ensure customers get what they were expecting, all bin lids will be replaced by our contractor at no cost to the council,” he said. DANDENONG has the eighth highest number of accessible venues and events listed on disability and aged care services provider Villa Maria’s Out and About app.

Demolition vote would cost about $209,000 a year to maintain. By those figures, the library’s retention would cost the council $3.19 million over the next 10 years while its demolition to make way for the Dandenong Market expansion would earn $1.76 million. Dandenong Community Association has petitioned for the library’s retention, which has also been backed by councillor Matthew Kirwan. Cr Kirwan said the library could provide a home for Dandenong Neighbourhood House and help relieve Dandenong’s lagging community infrastructure. “(It) would be able to provide more space to have more programs in one place and also have a higher profile location and more parking which would help them serve the community even better.”
By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council claims its “preferred position” of demolishing Dandenong’s former library to make way for a car park will save the council nearly $5 million over the next 10 years. Tonight, (Monday) councillors will vote on the ‘position’ which would create room for an al fresco area, shaded play area for children and a festivals space at the nearby Dandenong Market. The council report stated that the estimated $1.6 million market expansion project would net an annual return of $400,000 rental income from up to 12 new food outlets. It stated that the library building would require “significant works”, estimated at $1.1 million, to have it refurbished and refitted for community use. The new-look building
Also under the report, the council’s former Clow Street offices are given a 10-year shelf life but could be a temporary refuge for Dandenong’s Maternal and Child Health service and toy library. It could also provide meeting rooms for Dandenong Neighbourhood House. The move would have an upfront $325,000 cost for refitting part of the offices and demolishing the maternal and child health and toy library buildings at the corner of Stuart and Clow streets. The council will tonight vote on offering a commercial lease on 30 per cent of the offices to Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre at $118,000 a year plus utility costs. The council’s plan for the library building will be open for community comment and submission, the report stated.
Man arrested over stabbing, assault A MAN has been arrested over the multiple-stabbing of a woman in Noble Park and the bashing of a man in Springvale on Thursday. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the man in his thirties allegedly assaulted and stabbed the woman, also in her thirties, in a unit in
Simpson Drive, Noble Park, about 3.30am. The woman was conveyed to The Alfred hospital with serious injuries. Soon afterwards, the same man allegedly used a hockey stick to bash a man during an altercation in Loller Street, Springvale.
The victim was taken to Dandenong Hospital with minor injuries, the police spokeswoman said. Greater Dandenong CIU detectives believe the three people were known to one another, she said. Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

DANDENONG JOURNAL
Victoria’s paramedics are highly skilled professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the community and helping out in tough times. Ambulance Victoria and Victorian Government representatives have been negotiating with the ambulance union over a new pay deal for paramedics since August 2012. To break the deadlock, the Victorian Government has agreed with Ambulance Victoria to make a new pay offer to paramedics.
Connecting people and communities
DJ
This new offer is fair and reasonable. It includes: • a sign-on payment of $3000 for full-time paramedics (pro rata for part-timers and new employees) – this is twice as much as the previous offer • an immediate 6% wage increase • an increase of 3% in July 2015 and a further 3% in July 2016 – a 12% increase in total. Paramedics may also receive pay increases arising from the Fair Work Commission’s arbitration of their work value claim. Paramedics existing terms and conditions will be retained, so that they continue to receive: • 10 weeks paid leave annually • 10 weeks paid parental leave • 6 months long service leave after 15 years service • tax exempt benefits of up to $9000 a year. Victorian paramedics will still be the only paramedics in Australia to have access to guaranteed superannuation benefits via a defined benefit superannuation scheme, including a lump-sum option after 30 years of service. These increases will mean an ALS Year 6 paramedic can receive a total package of more than $110,000 a year (including rolled-in-rate, built-in overtime, FBT exempt benefits and guaranteed superannuation benefits – but not additional overtime). In addition, paramedics will receive the $3,000 sign-on payment. The Victorian Government is continuing to invest in ambulance services, with funding provided for an additional 539 full-time equivalent ambulance officers. This new pay offer gives paramedics the salary increase they deserve, maintains the generous terms and conditions they enjoy today and recognises the importance of the job they do protecting and saving lives.

He had been released on bail after a Dandenong Magistrates’ Court hearing two days later. The accused had also been charged with burglary and criminal damage for allegedly smashing an Officer Charcoal Chicken front door glass panel and stealing a can of Coke in December. Alizada’s lawyer told the court his client’s psychosis had been caused by crystal methamphetamine abuse but had improved while in custody for the past eight days. He said Alizada was effectively homeless, having been evicted from his tenancy after the incident on 13 July. Magistrate Greg Connellan ordered Alizada to remain in custody before being assessed for involuntary hospital admission the next day. “I’m minded to defer sentence and bail him until he leaves hospital,” Mr Connellan said.

By CASEY NEILL CHAIRS hardly seem like a workplace luxury. But Gateway Industries in Dandenong has been dealing with mismatched, uncomfortable and dilapidated seating in its processing area for years. A $4000 donation from the Dandenong State Trustees office last week will replace them. “The ones we’ve got are falling apart and they’re a bit of an OH and S issue,” Gateway Industries CEO Alan Warwick said. Any leftover cash will replace chairs in the lunch room. “It will make such a difference,” Mr Warwick said. “The ones we’ve had have all been donated over the years. They’re mismatched and have screws falling out.” Gateway Industries offers employment for people with a disability in process packaging, woodwork, garden maintenance, litter pick-up and bin cleaning. “It makes them feel part of the community and worthwhile,” Mr Warwick said. “To me, it gives them a purpose.
Through a Government legislative debt agreement, you can remove the “stress” of dealing with your creditors and debt collectors plus, remove the “stress” of repaying your debts individually. We consolidate all your unsecured debts into one easy repayment plan best suited to your income and budget.

It’s not what they can’t do, it’s what they can do.” Mr Warwick said he was
shocked to receive the donation from the State Trustees. Employees donate part of their wages each week to the company’s Wholehearted Giving program and every second year choose a cause to donate to. “I’m really proud to think that we’re making some difference and got recognised for what we’re offering to people,” he said. “I’m proud to think that what we do got recognised by somebody other than the people within our Gateway community.”

A MAN in a “drug-induced psychosis” allegedly threw a metal pipe at his neighbour then smashed the victim’s windows and a power meter box as the victim took refuge in his Dandenong North home, a court has been told. Zaher Alizada, 22, pleaded guilty to charges including criminal damage at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday. Magistrate Greg Connellan deferred sentencing while Alizada was assessed to be admitted as an involuntary patient at Dandenong Hospital’s mental health unit. Police prosecutor First Constable Amitoj Singh said the incident occurred after a neighbour complained to Alizada who was revving a car on the neighbour’s nature strip in Rhoden Court on 13 July. After an argument, Alizada allegedly retrieved a one-metre long metal pipe from his car
and threw the pipe at the fleeing neighbour, missing him by “a couple of metres”. The neighbour ran inside his unit where he heard Alizada banging on the front door and shouting that he wanted to “fight back”. First Const Singh said the neighbour saw Alizada holding a wooden garden-stake and then heard screaming and windows being smashed at the rear of the unit. Alizada also allegedly caused $2000 of “extensive damage” to an electrical meter box on the side of the unit. Police arrested Alizada at the scene and found a knife in his trouser pocket and a garden hoe in his hand. Alizada was also facing charges after police found him with two ziplock bags of tablets, a glass smoking pipe, a knife and a bottle of clear liquid, which was believed to be GHB, in his car on 3 July.

Chairwoman of the Noble Park Art Show Heather Duggan. 122762 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS la, who opened the show’s prelaunch last week, said he’d been “amazingly impressed” by the artwork - especially by children - showcased at last year’s event. “I’m sure we will once again see some fantastic works
of art (this year).” The show is at Noble Park Community Centre, Ross Reserve, from 10 to 12 October. To enter, go to nobleparkcommunitycentre.org.au/artshow or phone 9547 5801.

THIS is an art show that prides itself on its inclusiveness. Back for its ninth year, the Noble Park Community Centre Art Show is open for entries from people of all walks of life. Its organisers are hoping to attract a similarly bumper crop of works as last year, which filled the community centre’s vast hall. In 2013, there were 500 works from schools, 53 from all-abilities classes and aged care homes as well as 83 in the open section. Watercolour painter Rosalba Velardi, who has been part of the organising committee for the past seven years, has seen the event capture more participants as it grows. “It’s a lot of work but we always look forward to the show.” She has painted since retiring 17 years ago. “It’s a passion that started early in my life but I wasn’t nurtured to paint as a child. I’m making up for lost time. “For a long time I was painting but going nowhere. It’s taken a while for me to find my style.” Her painstakingly multilayered floral paintings reveal surprising detail and texture. Her garden flowers and their life cycles from bud to bloom are her inspiration. She rarely enters art competitions, but her floral work Rosa Mutabilis and her riverscape Port of Echuca took out major categories at last year’s show. Lyndhurst MP Martin Paku-
100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession. 100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks. Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Music’s X factor By CASEY NEILL
SPECIAL OFFER
Connecting people and communities
DANDENONG student Rachael Thompson started her singing career with nursery rhymes. Last week, the St John’s College Year 9 student wowed the X Factor’s judges and audience with her rendition of the Gabrielle Aplin song Please Don’t Say You Love Me. The Endeavour Hills 15-year-old received a standing ovation and judge Ronan Keating jumped on the desk and ran on stage to hug her. “It was really unexpected,” she said. “He asked for my name again and said ‘I want to remember this day so I can say I was here at the start of your career’. “I was completely over the moon. He’s always been my favourite judge.” Please Don’t Say You Love Me and Aplin’s album English Rain rocketed to number one on iTunes following Rachael’s performance, and Aplin contacted her on Twitter. “I was actually really shocked that she heard about me but really happy that she had,” she said. “That song’s been one of my favourite songs for about a year now.” The audition was the first step toward a career in the music industry - a career she’s been dreaming of since the age of six. “I was very young and I was singing with my sister - just songs that were on the radio and nursery rhymes - that’s how it started,” she said.

“I went to singing classes when I was six years old. “Before my audition I was a little bit nervous with the sweaty palms, and all. “When I got up on stage it was like me and the judges and no one else. “I’m so happy that I was actually living my dream. “I hope that I get signed by a good record company and people like my music.” Rachael isn’t worried about juggling school and singing. “I’ve been practising my music and keeping up with my homework for years so you could say I’m an expert,” she said.
“I enjoy the reaction I get and how people can connect with what I do and how much they like it, and I like to feel like I’m doing it for the audience. “I’m really excited, actually, to be a name that everyone would know.” Principal Andrew Walsh said Rachael’s performance had wowed the school. “She is a relatively quiet student who has kept this incredible talent hidden,” he said. “The X Factor has certainly uncovered a hidden gem and the whole of the St John’s community, all students and staff and friends of St John’s, are right behind her.”

NOBLE Park schools dug in for National Tree Day last Friday. St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School invited grandparents and special friends to join students for activities throughout the day, including tree planting. About 150 kids from Silverton Primary School in Noble Park North picked up shovels alongside staff from Dandenong’s Patterson Cheney Toyota and company ambassador Hawks forward Cyril Rioli. Planet Ark’s National Tree Day on Sunday 27 July and Schools Tree Day, on 25 July, are designed to inspire Australia’s next generation to get into nature and help preserve the environment.

We don’t mind if you change our plans. It’s called layout flexibility. Arden Homes is a different sort of company creating very different homes. Firstly, our homes are architect designed and inspired to bring a new sense of space, light and sweeping architectural proportions. You sense the difference immediately. Innovative sun courts, picture windows and full length windows and views that connect inside and out are hallmarks of our design. We insist on luxury standard inclusions such as porcelain tiles, Smeg appliances, Franke sinks, quality carpet, and stone benchtops throughout. Secondly, we limit the number of houses we build, and are up-front about the pricing of display home extras. “Arden let us swap rooms around so our new home is exactly as we want it.” – Sharon and Michael, Croydon And best of all, we encourage layout flexibility. It means you can work with us to switch and swap rooms and features to suit your lot size, orientation and family needs. Visit an Arden display to see and feel the difference. And ask us how we can tailor the design to make one of our stunning homes your unique dream home.

NEW HOMES & LAND
STYLE AND STREET APPEAL A timeless and classically beautiful 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 kerb 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 vice 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. Phone 1300 773 643.

LOOK TO REGIONS FOR REAL BARGAINS ENZO RAIMONDO
CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria
While media attention focuses on the increasing number of milliondollar suburbs in Melbourne, especially those very close to the Melbourne CBD, in many parts of regional Victoria there are still great home bargains to be had. REIV’s latest median house price data across Victoria, released in the past fortnight, shows that in some parts of the state it is even possible to buy a home for less than $50,000. For first home buyers on a tight budget or those struggling to afford the home they want, this is welcome news. Even if the location is not the buyers’ first preference, buying in
a new town may provide the opportunity for a new start. It can also mean the chance to get a foothold on the property ladder with a buy-to-rent purchase for those lacking the funds to buy in their preferred area. Once on that rung, the property owners will, in future years, be able to use this asset to move further up the market. Ararat had one of the state’s lowest June quarter medians at $190,000. And with price growth in the city of 26.7 per cent over the past 12 months it seems many buyers are realising just what a great opportunity this is.
There were bargains to be had in the thriving regional centre of Horsham, with a June quarter median of $185,000, in the Pyrenees with $195,000 and the Central Goldfields with a median of $220,000 over the three months. But it is the lowest 25 per cent of sales over the quarter which give an indication of just what bargains there are out there. For example, in some small towns with fewer than 30 sales over the past 12 months buyers could snap up a home for less than $50,000. In Donald the lower quartile median was just $47,000 while in Warracknabeal it was $88,500. Of course it is possible these homes
may not be in prime condition. But for those with time and DIY skills such a purchase can bring the chance to add value to an affordable property, substantially increasing the owner’s equity. Victoria’s regional median prices reflect the variety within the state, from the $540,000 house price median in the sought-after Macedon Ranges commuter belt to the small gems available at the north-western Shire of Buloke where the median was just $63,000. For a full list of regional cities and towns and their latest quarterly medians, visit: www.reiv.com.au/ regionalmedians.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Re-making Doveton WHEN Ford announced over summer that it would cut 300 jobs from its manufacturing plants in Geelong and Broadmeadows, Doveton-bred Dennis Glover felt history repeating itself. It was during a visit to his old suburb last year that the Labor speechwriter was reminded of how different his childhood home, Doveton, appeared compared to the thriving manufacturing hub his Irish father, Rodney, had been a devoted contributor to throughout the 1970s and early ’80s, while working for International Harvester and then General Motors Holden. “I came to Doveton for a family birthday just before Christmas last year and had a look around and was shocked by the deterioration,” Dennis said. “I made a point of driving through my old street and was shocked by how bad it looked physically, then over the summer when it was announced that the car plants were closing in Geelong and elsewhere, I thought haven’t they learnt? “If they go to places like Doveton they’ll see this is a big mistake. I rose in a fit of real anger at the real short-sightedness of the policy.” Dennis, who went to school with Dandenong MP John Pandazopoulos, was moved to write an article for The Age in February where he traversed the Doveton of his childhood with the suburb’s 2014 incarnation, under the headline ‘Working class dreams fade as jobs dry up’.
The article will form the basis of a book Dennis said he planned to write over summer detailing Doveton’s manufacturing decline. In the piece Dennis recalled Doveton’s hard-working and highly unionised industrial belt near the Prince Mark Hotel, where thousands of people streamed in and out of factories when the siren sounded at 8am. “Now it’s just a trickle,” Dennis said. The fall of Doveton’s manufacturing sector began in the mid1980s, the beginning of a domino effect which saw the suburb’s schools and other industries also hit hard, according to Dennis. “Doveton was on the upswing from the mid to late 1950s, when all the big major investments in power plants and truck plants took off, then housing commission houses were built in the early ’50s,” he said. “It was a serious working class neighbourhood and a tough place to grow up but not frightening or threatening. “From the late 1970s manufacturing industries across the nation went into a bit of a decline, working class standards started to fall and big companies started laying people off. By the mid-1980s, Doveton was a deprived area and it’s gotten worse since.” When the economy changed, Dennis said, governments didn’t put enough effort into replacing jobs. “In a sense there’s an obsession with efficiency and productivity and
DANDENONG Retail Traders Association’s next event will include its annual general meeting. All customer-based businesses, including retail, service and professional, are encouraged to attend on Tuesday 5 August. The AGM had previously been held in November alongside the group’s business awards, but chairwoman Glenys Cooper said a new business plan developed with help from City of Greater Dandenong recommended separating the two. The AGM starts at 6pm and concludes about 7.30pm at the Ramada Encore Hotel, 50 McCrae Street, Dandenong. Call Glenys Cooper on 0417 394 722 or 9794 9397 for information about the function or DRTA.
DANDENONG RETAIL TRADERS’ ASSOCIATION
GENERAL MEETING A GREAT CHANCE TO BECOME INVOLVED THE Dandenong Retail Traders’ Association will conduct their Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, 5 August and all customer based businesses, including retail, service or professional are encouraged to attend. The AGM will be held at the Ramada Encore Hotel, 50, McCrae Street, Dandenong, commencing at 6pm.
Labor speechwriter Dennis Glover, standing near what used to be the thriving industrial underbelly of Doveton, believes the suburb where he grew up is crying out for gutsy political leadership. 123756 Picture: ROB CAREW not with people,” he said. “It’s okay to say we need to cut taxes and lower wages to make the economy more productive but that doesn’t improve the lives of people.” “When factories close in manufacturing suburbs like Doveton it isn’t just the factory closing, you end up with knock-on effects for local shops, people don’t move in,
clothes stores go into decline,” he said. Dennis called on “gutsy” political leaders who were passionate about Doveton to assert active change in the suburb. “The area needs leadership, it needs gutsy young politicians to go in and pull the place up by its bootstraps,” he said.
The AGM commences at 6pm and concludes around 7.30pm. Tea and coffee is supplied and the meetings also act as excellent networking opportunities. “All customer based businesses are welcome but, hopefully, if they are not already members they will make the move to join the Association and have an influence on what is happening in Central Dandenong,” Glenys Cooper added.

SCIENCE can be entertaining just ask students at Athol Road Primary School. A talented troupe of 105 students in grades 5 and 6 have devised the perfect formula for what they hope will be a crowd pleasing performance at this year’s national Wakakirri festival. Wakakirri celebrates learning by creating and sharing stories. Schools create stories using dance, creative movement, acting, song and film to be
performed, screened and displayed to audiences across Australia. Under the guidance of teachers, the Springvale South students created Wacky Wild Science, a story of good and evil waged in the laboratory. Dressed in crazy scientist wigs, pimped-up lab coats and mad professor glasses, students will compete against other schools in the region at Frankston Arts Centre on Wednesday 5 August.
The students have their fingers crossed that their wacky performance will usher them through to the finals at Hamer Hall in September. Performing arts teacher Megan Lutz said Wakakirri was a great opportunity for students to represent their school. “Wakakirri is great for building confidence, performing arts skills, teamwork as well as social and emotional skills.”

SPORT Dragon slayers
Dandenong Stingrays’ forward Taylor Joyce gets bundled up by Sandringham’s Darcy James. 124584 Picture: JARROD POTTER
TAC CUP - round 15 By JARROD POTTER “OUR first half I think it was our best for the year by far.” It was high praise for Dandenong Stingrays from their coach Craig Black following a comprehensive 42-point win over Sandringham. While the margin doesn’t seem that large, the conditions were terrible enough to halt most transition running and make goals a precious commodity.
Dandenong held the home-side goalless through the first half as defenders Daylan Kempster, Dan Moloney and the run-and-carry of Narre Warren’s Matt Homfray proving too hard for the Dragons to pierce. At the other end was another Narre Warren prospect starring as Aaron Wilson clunked hard contested marks in the shower stall formerly known as Trevor Barker Beach Oval. Relentless rain besieged the second
half and kept the score low, but the hard-tackling, in-and-under Stingrays still persevered to get the ball out and into the hands of their transition experts Dan Moloney, Mitch White and AIS-AFL representative Tom Lamb. With two debutants in the side Liam Hulett and 23rd man Brandon White - Dandenong showed off a little more depth and an enviable batch of players coming through for the 2015 AFL Draft.
A pair of captain’s goals from Jack Lonie and two for the crumbing Hulett sealed the 9.10 (64) to 2.10 (22) victory. The triumph sets the third-placed Stingrays up for a hard-fought final month as it travels for another seasondefining showdown - this week with ladder leaders Oakleigh on Saturday. “The way the boys applied themselves in that first half - their commitment and attack on the footy - was second-to-none and easily our best,”
The bleeding just never stopped
Black said. “I think - like I said to the boys after the game - it’s a tough competition and you’ve got to look forward to the challenges. “We play another really good TAC Cup team and it gives our boys another opportunity to go out against the best and see if they can perform at the top level… if they can we’ll be really happy.” The match starts at 1pm at Warrawee Park, Oakleigh.
Bulls spring to life By JARROD POTTER
By JARROD POTTER
in the arm. Led by Trevor Kumetaitis up forward, drilling five goals, and receiving the hard won footy gift-wrapped by midfielders Trent Day (4 goals), Dale Tormey (2 goals) and Ben Cox (2 goals) - the Pumas rise to third on the ladder with a handy buffer over their chasers Black Rock and Sandown.
SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE Division 2 - round 14 IT ALL started well enough for Springvale Districts. A free kick to Gavin Vassallo earned the Demons the first goal of the day and an early lead over SFL Division-2 ladder-leaders Mordialloc. That would be the only highlight of the day as the visitors eviscerated the Demons by 111 points in steadily degrading conditions at Newcomen Road. The Demons only kicked another two behinds for the day as the Bloods kicked the next 17 goals undisturbed. Saved only by the wayward kicking of the visitors, shanking 19 behinds, it could have been much worse for the Districts who now need a miraculous run of high-margin victories and luck to fall their way to stand any hope of making the final five. Vassallo, Craig Keenan and Jackson Bolch were the best performers on a dog day. Their last month of home-andaway football starts on Saturday as the Demons face Murrumbeena at home.
Division 3 - round 15 SANDOWN claimed the points against Dandenong - running away with the match after half-time to keep its finals’ chances alive.
VICTORIAN AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION DIVISION 2 - round 14
Even with all hands on deck - including coach Jack McTaggart - it wasn’t enough to guide Springvale Districts to victory over Picture: JARROD POTTER Mordialloc. 124583 The Cobras shook off the Redlegs through the second term as Jason Toan (5 goals) found his kicking boots while Mitch Gersbeck (3 goals) kicked his bag and also featured in the best afield. For
Dandenong, Ryan Forsyth (2 goals) continued his strong season while Kevin Atkin and Regan Hall also shone for the visitors. Lyndale belted Hallam by 149 points to give its percentage a shot
RELIVING their 2011 Division-2 grand final, St John’s almost played into déjà vu as it kicked 11.10 (76) to take a 26-point win over Glen Eira. On that fabled day three Septembers ago, the JOCs kicked 11.8 (74) to take the trophy by 28 points over Glen Eira and promotion to Division 1. Starring on Saturday were Aaron Abela (4 goals), Kane Arnold (2) and Glenn Costas (2) with Ben Ayache scrapping it out on the wings and through the midfield to also impress. Although its Division 1 ambitions ended quickly after just one season, the JOCs remain in the hunt for this year’s Division 2 title and a chance to regain promotion. The win gives St John’s fifth place by one match and trail fourth placed Old Paradians by four points. The next challenge is St Mary’s Salesian at home on Saturday.

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 14 HOPE remains alive for Noble Park’s finals campaign after a 64-point win over Scoresby. With front-line forwards Brett Dore and Shayne Allan firing - kicking four goals apiece - the Bulls were too strong for the Magpies as they kicked 10 goals to five after the main break. Only in his second match on return from a leg injury, Tim Kelly was best afield with a stellar effort roaming across the field while Bobby Kemperman and Nathan Carver were exceptional at either end of the ground. The hard-as-nails Stewart Kemperman defied a recommended three-four week stint on the sidelines with a bicep tear as he took the field and gave all for his beloved Bulls. The percentage-boosting win keeps the Bulls theoretically and mathematically alive in EFL’s Division 1 finals race - sitting six points off the pace of fifth placed Montrose. To stay in the finals race, Noble Park will need to pull off another victory against league powerhouse Balwyn - emulating its Round 8 success over the Tigers, but this time at home on Saturday.
CASEY CARDINIA FOOTBALL LEAGUE - round 14 THEY’RE playing for the love of the club, but that love isn’t translating to points on the scoreboard as Keysborough fell to Berwick by 140 points. Putting on the game face for another tough day at the office, the Burra was unable to halt the run of the Wickers’ fleet footed midfielders - as Berwick slotted 11-goals-toone before half-time. Better efforts in the second half accrued three goals to Keysborough’s name, but the damage continued to be inflicted at the other end. Berwick’s Mitchell Johnson, aptly sharing the name of Australian spearhead fast bowler, smashed through the Burra defence as he drilled eight goals and Jordan Andrews (6 goals) also got among the party atmosphere. The best efforts came from Daniel Morland, Bryce Sutton and Glenn Humphreys while Morland and Joseph Scata slotted the four Burra goals between them equally. On equal points with Hampton Park with only four rounds left, a wooden spoon could be the final gift the Burra receives in its tenure in Casey Cardinia Football League. The beginning of the likely last month of Keysborough’s CCFL lifespan will begin on Saturday as it faces fellow low rankers Tooradin-Dalmore at Tooradin.

All’s well that ends Wells By JARROD POTTER THE historians and bookie-room storytellers were all against Wells. Bashboy - ridden by Berwick jockey Steven Pateman - going for its third Grand National Steeplechase in a row, and Sea King looking to back up its Grand National Hurdle victory and become the first horse to win the double since Mosstrooper in 1930. There was no history-defining feat on the line for Kathryn Durden’s six-yearold gelding out of Galileo and Embraceable You. Wells had never run the distance - the stable defining 4500m classic - but with nearly 10 kilograms less than Bashboy in the saddle, it was able to storm away to clinch the five-length victory in its first race over the high jumps. With some bumping and jostling after the second last jump between Bashboy and Sea King, it left the door open for Wells who charged away to take the $250,000 season-ending jumps race and nearly double the horse’s career winnings. Durden said Wells was gearing up for his first steeplechase event and wasn’t daunted by the long odds or the calibre of the field at Sportingbet Park, Sandown. “We always thought he’d jump the fence better so that was the plan the whole time,” Durden said. “He had the ability and we thought this was the natural way to go. “We bought him off Lloyd Williams so he’s been with us since he was a three-year-old... and he’s been a really good horse for the stable.” Wells’ jockey John Allen said he nestled in behind Bashboy and Sea King and seized his moment at the end to capture the quarter-million dollar race.
Eric Miraflores flew through Casey’s defences in Keysborough’s three-point win on Saturday night. 124585 Picture: JARROD POTTER
Miraflores’ magic By JARROD POTTER BIG V Division 2 - round 18 It was a thumbs-up effort from jockey John Allen to guide Wells to victory in the Grand National Steeplechase on Sunday. 124586 Pictures: JARROD POTTER “He was running second last and Richie was conscious of Steve on the outside and tried to stop him,” Allen said. “I got a comfy run in behind them (Pateman and Richard Cully). “I felt I was travelling so good that
I had to win or I’d let it down… and it did... the perfect race and I think the rest is history.” Patrick Payne had earlier success on the card, winning the J.J. Houlahan Hurdle with his seven-year-old gelding Fieldmaster.
Talk of the town set their sights high By JARROD POTTER FOOTBALL FEDERATION AUSTRALIA CUP Round of 32 SOUTH Springvale’s night on the big stage is just a day away. The Aris - still riding high after an amazing 9-8 penalty shootout victory over St Albans Saints in the Dockerty Cup semi-final - now set their gaze towards Northern New South Wales (NNSW) victors South Cardiff tomorrow night (Tuesday). Having earned their place in the final four of the Dockerty Cup with its 3-0 victory over Hume City in the quarter finals, South Springvale will clash horns with NNSW’s best in hopes of advanc-
ing another step further towards the pinnacle of Australian cup soccer. South Springvale coach Bill Lambropoulos said it has lifted the exposure of the club and left Aris as the club on Melbourne’s mind. “Just the talk of the club at such a high level around the Melbourne precinct from club to club,” Lambropoulos said. “Nobody really knew who we were and now we’re the talk of the town.” South Springvale’s round of 32 FFA Cup match is scheduled for Tuesday July 29, 7.30pm at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex.
FOOTBALL FEDERATION VICTORIA NPL - round 19 UNDONE by their former striker Jake
Nakic, Dandenong Thunder was left to take a 1-2 loss - its fourth in a row. Nakic, having left for Pascoe Vale in the transfer window, slammed on a pair of goals to steal the win at George Andrews Reserve, with Dandenong scoring through Feston Azizi to keep the margin manageable. Dandenong Thunder faces Northcote City at home on Wednesday night before clashing with Werribee City away on Sunday. In Round-18 NPL 1 action Dandenong City eased away to a 2-1 win over FC Bulleen Lions with a brace to Shaun Filipovic while Springvale White Eagles was humbled by Box Hill United 1-2.
MAGIC Eric Miraflores stole the show for Keysborough in a comefrom-behind victory over Casey Cavaliers. Knocking off top-of-the-ladder Casey, Keysborough showed it is not just making up the numbers in the BIG V finals series as it claimed a nail-biting 82-79 victory. Chasing the Cavaliers at the final break, the master Miraflores (26 points, 9 rebounds and 5 steals) lit up the court and nailed a trio of final-term three-pointers to take the points and more importantly - the bragging rights heading into the playoffs. Nathaniel O’Hara (17 points) and Jackson Houpt (15 points) rounded out the top-scoring Cougars, with coach Chris Demchyshyn also praising the defensive efforts of Allen Brunsting in his guarding effort on Casey import Matt Pebole. “It was a great win - we’ve been resting the players over the last few weeks and it showed today we were able to run out the end of the game,” Demchyshyn said. “It’s good to come into finals in good form, we’re looking good, and we can only get better than this.” The Cougars will face either
Casey or Shepparton in their semifinal series starting this week, with some results still pending as the Journal went to print. Keysborough women farewelled their inaugural season with an improved effort in a 4882 loss to Casey. Tamara Booth (14 points, 9 rebounds) lead the stat-sheet alongside Heidi Van Vugt (12 points) and Lucinda Johnson (12 points). The Cougars women won three games in their first season and are set to compete again in next year’s BIG V competition.
SEABL - round 17 BRINGING the blitz to AlburyWodonga, Dandenong smashed the home side 105-81 in the men’s match - with Owen Odigie (21 points) and Daequon Montreal (21 points) leading the charge. The women started their massacre earlier in the night with a good, old fashioned 109-38 demolition of the Bandits. Jacinta Kennedy (27 points) and Lauren Scherf (23 points, 15 rebounds) destroyed Albury-Wodonga in close from limited minutes to highlight the gap between the sides even further. Dandenong heads up the hill to face Kilsyth on Saturday night before the cross-town showdown on Sunday afternoon as the Rangers hosts Knox from midday.

Leia’s ambition... a guiding role By JARROD POTTER
Luke Cody, pictured in yellow vying with Vermont’s Grant McCarthy, was a top-20 finalist Picture: JARROD POTTER in FOX8’s football reality TV show - The Recruit. 120591
Changed recruit By JARROD POTTER ALTHOUGH he didn’t win The Recruit, or even finish in the top 13, the experience itself was lifechanging for Luke Cody. Noble Park forward/midfielder Cody, 21, from Narre Warren South, was part of FOX8’s program to unearth Australian rules football talent outside of the traditional pathways. Having never played VFL football or any other top-tier state league - instead choosing to play with Noble Park in the Eastern Football League - Cody was eligible to try out for the reality TV show and excelled through the initial trials to make the final 50. He made it to the final 20 before being eliminated from the show, but found the experience to be life-changing. “I made it to the final cut before the house so I was pretty shattered, but I can’t complain as I got a lot further than other people in Australia,” Cody said. “It shows if you put your mind to it and go for something you want.” He admits before going on the show his routine was lacklustre and his training schedule was not enough - but endured the brutish challenge of
a six-kilometre run from Etihad Stadium to the MCG carrying a besser block Former Brisbane player and coach Michael Voss is the head coach on The Recruit and told Cody to bulk up because he had the skill to make it to the top-tier league, but not the necessary size. “I was only there for the one week (on The Recruit) but you learn so much and if you put your mind to it you can get further,” Cody said. “It just shows I wasn’t working hard enough but I work my a*#e off now to get my body right for the show and try to get drafted and… like Vossy said, I wasn’t big enough yet… coming from Vossy it just makes me want to get bigger and better. “That’s why I get up at 5.15am every morning now and go to the gym before work just because I want to get bigger and get to that next level.” Cody said the show had changed his outlook on life and he’s now looking at his options for playing in the VFL next year and hopes he can sign up for The Recruit again in 2015. He encouraged anyone who wanted a chance to be drafted to sign up because it was a unique opportunity. The Recruit airs on FOXTEL’s FOX8 channel on Wednesday nights at 7.30pm.
LEADERSHIP ambitions are the driving force for Dandenong Rangers’ representative Leia Hanafin. The young point guard wants the basketball in her hand, to call the plays and to help out her team any way she can. That hunger and desire to guide her team has earned the Dandenong Rangers’ under-14.1 bottom ager a place in the School Sport Victoria (SSV) under-12 basketball team. Hanafin, 12, from Rowville, has staked her place in the back-court for seven years and hopes to call the set pieces from the point guard position when she represents the state next month in Queensland. She couldn’t believe at first when her name was called out as one of the final 10 to head off to the championships. “It took a while to actually realise that I was doing it,” Hanafin said. “I couldn’t believe it.” She wants to become captain of the SSV team and hopefully earn a national championship in the process as the team is as strong as her determination to succeed. “I want us to come first and want to become captain,” Hanafin said. “I’d like to become captain as it would be really good to become captain of a Victorian
Leia Hanafin will trade her Rangers’ gear for a School Sport Victoria jersey as she represents the state in schoolgirls’ Picture: JARROD POTTER basketball. 124189 team.” “There are three guards in the team and maybe I’ll be the starting shooting guard. “I think we’re good because I’ve played against most of these girls before.” Hanafin will head to Townsville, Queensland to compete in the School Sport Australia 12-and-under girls’
basketball championships from 16-23 August. Her Rangers’ team - coming off a fourth place finish in the National Junior Classic - are off to Brisbane to participate in the under-14 national championships later this year as well, making for a lot of flight time for the young basketball star.
