BOOM FROM THE BOOMGATES

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

drawing people into the town with its famous pan rolls, she said.

“You can’t get pan rolls at Waverley Gardens or Parkmore.”

Quality Spices owner Suzie Smith said her Sri-Lankan style rolls have travelled as far as London and New York, stashed in the luggage of tempted tourists.

“It’s because we’ve got good ingredients and we don’t cut corners – we do it the oldfashioned way.”

She says the town’s vibrancy had been re-discovered in recent times – crowds came to sample its Lebanese, Sudanese, Indian, Afghan and Thai eateries.

Ms Smith agreed that removing the nearby level crossing would give the place a further lift.

“You see the difference it made in Springvale.”

REMOVING Noble Park’s boomgates will only hasten the town’s emerging boom times.

Greater Dandenong councillor Roz Blades said the bright mix of shops and restaurants, a new civic space and streetscaping was bringing people back to the previouslymaligned town centre.

In the pipeline is a state-of-the-art skate park in Ross Reserve, and opening up the reserve under the council’s masterplan.

“Noble Park is buzzing along – especially so when the roundabout and railway crossing is gone,” she said.

“

IT USED TO BE DESERTED. NOW PEOPLE ARE COMING TO SHOP HERE ON THE WEEKENDS, YOU CAN HARDLY GET A CAR SPOT… Roz Blades “It used to be deserted. Now people are coming to shop here on the weekends, you can hardly get a car spot.”

Much work has gone into making Noble Park feel like an inviting village – putting behind an image of groups drinking in streets and parks.

Cr Blades said improved lighting made people feel safer – as well as “food, variety and multiculturalism”.

As an example, Quality Spices has been

Revitalisation is transforming the City of Greater Dandenong.

Monday, 1 September, 2014 Page 3W

Picture: THE CITY OF GREATER DANDENONG, HILTON STONE.

HUB OF SOUTH-EAST REBORN

By NARELLE COULTER, EDITOR

GREATER Dandenong is fast re-emerging as the commercial, manufacturing, artistic, educational and dining hub of the south east.

With so much activity happening throughout the city, the Journal thought it was time to celebrate the positive rebirth of the region with this special 16-page wrap.

Residents, traders and those who work within the city’s boundaries can be rightly proud of ‘Destination Greater Dandenong’.

As other areas suffer an economic downturn with the decline of major manufacturing, Greater

Dandenong remains home to some of the state’s most innovative and cutting edge businesses.

South East Melbourne Manufacturers’ Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden is upbeat in his assessment of the area’s economic future, telling the Journal “There seems to be a clear revival in confidence” and predicting that “Manufacturing will always be here”.

The centre of Dandenong is now a vibrant hub of activity following the opening in April of the new civic centre, library and public square.

The building complements other

major developments in the heart of Dandenong including the Government Services Building, the new ATO and the impressive transformation of Lonsdale Street into a pedestrian friendly boulevard.

Revitalisation projects are also underway in Noble Park and Springvale, while Keysborough continues to undergo a building boom as new residents move into the suburb to build their dream home, putting a spring in the step of the real estate industry.

Education is another of the city’s success stories. Schools across both the public and private sphere

are meeting the challenges posed by students with unique cultural and socio-economic needs, while also challenging high achievers to reach their full potential.

Greater Dandenong is also home to a thriving cultural and foodie scene. The Drum Theatre regularly plays host to world-class performances. In July Opera Australia chose the The Drum for the Australian launch of its touring production of The Magic Flute.

Artists from around the world who now call Greater Dandenong home add to the rich intellectual

and artistic life of the city, producing creative works encompassing public sculpture, performance art, visual art and textiles.

Food is key to the revitalisation of Greater Dandenong, making it a must destination for people from all over Melbourne and interstate keen to experience authentic cooking from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Europe.

With so much going on Greater Dandenong is without a doubt a key destination for employment, investment, education, shopping and leisure, now and into the future.

A VISION FOR SPRINGVALE

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

COULD property north of Springvale’s railway line be the new site for a library and town hall?

Springvale Asian Business Association spokesman Stan Chang said a “sizeable block” of shops and factories on the north-west corner of the Springvale Road former level crossing had particular economic potential.

“The best use with most economic value would be commercial shops and offices – it’s close to the station for people to catch the train to work.”

But another possibility could be to ‘move’ Springvale’s library and town hall – with beautifying parklands – to “capitalise” on the more accessible location, he argues.

This would leave the existing civic-library-hall precinct for housing re-development – and tip upside down Greater Dandenong’s master plan for the precinct.

Councillor Sean O’Reilly said the plan, with large open-space expanses, was part of a payback for building Springvale police station on parkland.

“The idea behind the masterplan was that commitment to retain open space.

“The council is always open to new ideas. But you also have to consider most residents live on the south side of the station.”

Cr O’Reilly said the masterplan would revive the precinct’s underutilised open areas with a

playground, sport areas, a plaza and a much-expanded library.

He said the council could sell off its former depot site and still retain a “huge amount” of open space.

“It’s not just about having lots of open space but it’s how it can best be used.”

Cr O’Reilly said the levelcrossing removal had opened up Springvale’s potential.

“With Springvale, it is bursting

with energy. The more (the) council can do to assist with traffic and parking, the more the place will boom.”

For the record, Mr Chang said high-rise apartments near the railway station were his “third

best” option because of their lack of amenity.

“Though from an economic point of view, for retailers it would be great to have more people living nearby.”

MAKING THEIR OWN FUTURE

By CASEY NEILL

MANUFACTURING in Greater Dandenong is doing more than just surviving – it’s growing.

South East Melbourne Manufacturers’ Alliance (SEMMA) is the peak industry group for more than 200 companies in the region, where almost half of Victoria’s manufactured products are created.

It has set up a new base in Dandenong South.

“It is an opportune moment for us to move into the manufacturers’ heartland,” executive officer Adrian Boden said.

“The opening of the new Dandenong council offices has meant that we were all by ourselves in Thomas Street.

“One of our manufacturers - and a local success story – Hilton was able to provide us with excellent facilities that mean we can run a number of activities from here.”

Mr Boden said a number of companies in diverse sectors had reported excellent results for the past three months.

“This may be a compensation for the slightly slower first three months of the year where there was a lot of ‘waiting’ to see what the budget would bring,” he said.

“There seems to be a clear revival in confidence, even if the manufacturers are still suffering from poor access to funding to enhance their growth possibilities.”

He said Greater Dandenong was a “very manufacturing-friendly

SEMMA executive officer Adrian Boden and assistant Cathy McIntyre. 126035 environment” thanks to City of Greater Dandenong’s support, easy freeway access and the abundance of other companies to connect and work with.

SEMMA is working on a clear brand for the region’s manufacturers to encourage investment and increase sales.

“Thousands of companies that can supply you anything from a doughnut to a widget to a very

complex piece of machinery,” he said.

“We have to celebrate the diversity of our manufacturing.”

He said the area’s multiculturalism was also an advantage for manufacturing.

“We can not only give you product, but we can find people who can communicate with you,” he said.

“In almost every company there

are at least 20 or 30 different cultures.”

SEMMA has added more than 40 new members over the past year and is hoping to grow even more in the coming 12 months.

Mr Boden said Australia’s manufacturing industry could be an easy target for negativity, with job losses often in the spotlight.

“But for every company that disappears you’ve probably got a

Picture: ROB CAREW new company being set up,” he said.

“Change is inevitable.”

He said when computers entered the machining sector there were concerns they would cost jobs.

“But then you forget that you need somebody to make the machine,” he said.

“It’s just a transition of a job.

“Manufacturing will always be here.”

….. Representing the Manufacturers of Australia’s Industrial Heartland SEMMA is an independent alliance which represents a broad cross section of manufacturers through Melbourne’s south east region. It is recognised as the peak industry body for the region and represents more than 200 leading manufacturers based in South East Melbourne.

SEMMA’s focus is to influence government on manufacturing issues, market and promote members and the region’s capability and create business opportunities for members, as well as provide great networking opportunities. SEMMA initiatives include members’ WorkCover agreement, group purchasing deals, access to projects and schools-to-industry activities.

DANDY’S FOOD-LED RECOVERY

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

TRADERS are hoping a food-led revival in central Dandenong will flow into other retailers’ pockets.

Baryalai Rahimi of Afghan Rahimi restaurant said council-organised food tours and festivals had helped lift the profile of the food scene.

He says workers at the nearby office buildings are queuing out the door for his restaurant’s eight-course buffet lunches – a strong contrast to the “dead street when he opened in 2001.

He’s since successfully encouraged others to open Afghan businesses. The Thomas Street district has flourished into a lavishly streetscaped Afghan Bazaar precinct.

“Most of our customers were from nearby.

Now we’re getting busloads from Geelong and Warragul coming to try Afghani food.”

Mr Rahimi said people were more assured of their safety at night in the CBD. Police patrols had helped reduce lawlessness and vandalism.

He said businesses were rebounding after the disruptive roadworks and demolitions as part of reviving the city’s heart. The new library as one part of the Revitalising Central Dandenong project has been attracting 2600 visitors a day.

Free night-time multi-deck parking in Walker and Thomas streets had helped bring in further diners.

“It’s another step to us being like a second city (to Melbourne) – a city of welcoming, a city of food, a city of culture.”

Glenys Cooper, president of the Dandenong Retail Traders Association, said the town’s “excellent restaurants” deserved to be marketed far and wide.

“We need to get people to realise there’s excellent food in Dandenong to bring

Afghan Rahimi chef Hayat and Baryalai Rahimi. 117051 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

them in for the day.”

Ms Cooper hoped office workers who had discovered the CBD’s diverse treats would explore further streets and businesses in Dandenong.

“When Dandenong Plaza partly re-opens in October, that should be another drawcard to get them walking about a bit more.”

She said retailers were fighting a nationwide slump in consumer spending.

“I think things have to improve. I don’t think they’ll get any worse than what we’ve gone through – we’ve already hit rock bottom.”

She said the association and Greater Dandenong Council were workshopping ideas to boost trade in the town, such as a parking strategy.

Ms Cooper said more needed to be done to deter workers and retailers from hogging

customer parking spots.

Ideas such as smarter parking meters, more parking on the south side of the railway station and opening the Dandenong Market car park on non-market days were helpful.

“I’m comfortable that the council understands our concerns and will resolve them.”

GANDHI PLAN FOR LITTLE INDIA

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

A STATUE immortalising former independence leader Mahatma Gandhi may be the crowning glory to Little India precinct’s budding rebirth.

Federation of Indian Associations of Victoria president Vasan Srinivasan said the proposal for a Gandhi statue, funded by the Indian Government, will be a further push to put the precinct on the tourist map.

Mr Srinivasan said the precinct had habitually attracted far-flung visitors for its traditional fashions and variety of shops.

“There’s no place in Australia like this. People come here from various parts of Australia for saris and fabrics for weddings, anniversaries and birthday parties.”

Recently, the federation opened Museum India in Foster Street – which displays some of psychiatrist Dinesh Parekh’s vast art collection that reflects the country’s 18,000year history and culture.

Mr Srinivasan said the federation was campaigning for Tourism Victoria to help make the museum and precinct a stop-point for Phillip Island bus tours.

Part of it’s plan is to move the museum to the former masonic lodge in Mason Street – subject to a successful pitch to state developer Places Victoria.

The lodge would be large enough to house the entire collection of Indian paintings,

etchings, photographs and sculptures as well as coins dating back to 400BC and rare stamps

Vasan Srinivasan that are currently not on display, Mr Srinivasan said.

The proposal would include a

library of Indian history, literature, religion and art tomes.

Mr Srinivasan said business

was bouncing back after disruptive Revitalising Central Dandenong streetworks and demolitions several years ago.

“Because of those issues, some businesses closed down but we’ve still got serious players here.

“We want to revive Little India, and make it more colourful here.

“Multiculturalism is doing well in this country and we’re a part of that. This museum will help people understand the Indian psychology and culture.”

The museum’s works span Hindu legend, Buddhist symbols, the life of Gandhi and conflicts between Indians and their former colonial ruler.

It includes a stunning largescale – and apparently expensive – sculpture of a torsoless Lord Ganesh that seemingly defies gravity.

Dr Parekh – who has collected over the past 63 years – told the Journal he paid highly for an undertaking from the sculptor Rampure that the work would be a one-off.

“This is a unique collection,” Dr Parekh said.

“Even in India, the Kolkota museum has a great collection but not along the lines of assembling the history of India.”

The museum is at 61-63 Foster Street and open Tuesday-Sunday, 11am-3pm.

BOOM IS SET THE highly anticipated new shopping precinct at Dandenong Plaza is getting its finishing touches, ahead of its unveiling later this year.

The redevelopment, which has been underway since October last year, includes a new mall with seven fresh retail offerings including four impressive new retailers and a new cafe.

Leading the charge are electronics retailer JB Hi-Fi Home, German supermarket giant Aldi, Japanese superstore Daiso and discount brand store Trade Secret.

The new precinct will also house a custom-designed children’s playground, including interactive soundscapes, which provides entertainment for children.

The rural theme of the playground is also a quiet nod to the pastoral heritage of the region, dating back to the early 19th century.

COMMUNITY BEATS TO DRUM

BY CASEY NEILL

DRUM Theatre is helping to foster Dandenong’s heart and soul.

The 521-seat performing arts theatre opened in February 2006 within the 1890-built former Dandenong Town Hall.

It hosts more than 150 performances for more than 60,000 patrons each year.

“We’ve got one of the best theatres in the country here in Dandenong,” director Greg Hordacre said.

“We want to ensure the best of Australian-produced touring work is available in Dandenong.”

He said many audience members came to the Drum for easier parking and less travel than going to the Melbourne CBD. “They’re just thrilled to be able to have a facility equal

to any of the venues available in the city available in their backyard,” he said.

Mr Hordacre said many theatre-goers made a night of attending a performance.

“We get feedback from restaurants because restaurants are very keen to hear when we’ve got shows on so they can be prepared,” he said.

“We’re really able to contribute to the real buzz of Dandenong, what makes Dandenong unique.

“By having such great shows here we’re able to reach beyond those who live in the local community.”

Opera Australia launched its new production of The Magic Flute at the Drum earlier this year.

“A few audience members had not been to Dandenong before, and a few had been

The Drum Theatre is a landmark building in Dandenong.

to Dandenong but many years ago,” Mr Hordacre said.

“They were completely blown away by the experience of being here.

“It’s a good way of

bringing people into Dandenong.”

He said the theatre was helping Dandenong to build “a real sense of a community and cultural hub”.

“It is really important that

heart and soul is found in the central business district of any community,” he said.

“By City of Greater Dandenong supporting theatre, they’re supporting the development of that heart and that soul.”

The theatre is available for hire to schools, dance groups, community groups and performance companies. It also has a foyer space and function rooms.

Upcoming events include the Berwick Lodge Film Festival on Monday 15 September, a WotOpera performance on Tuesday 16 September, and Marina Prior’s Songbird on Saturday 20 September.

Drumming ensemble TaikOz will present new work Crimson Sky, featuring thunderous energy and ethereal sounds, on

Thursday 11 September.

For the kids, there’s Annie Jr on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 September, Goldilocks and The Three Bears with a funny twist on Tuesday 30 September, and improvised stage show The Fairytale Cookbook on Tuesday 23 September.

Peppa Pig Live! Treasure Hunt will hit the stage on Saturday 1 November.

Normie Rowe will perform his hits on Thursday 2 October, Michael Veitch will present the stories of former airmen on Saturday 25 October, and Silvie Paladino brings The Spirit of Christmas on Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 November.

LIGHT TOUCH OF AFGHANISTAN

By CASEY NEILL

THOMAS Street is a slice of Afghanistan in central Dandenong.

The Afghan Bazaar established in 2000, is Melbourne’s only recognised Afghan precinct, and is home to about 20 shops.

There are speciality goods from Afghanistan’s various regions and communities available.

They range from warm bread cooked in traditional clay ovens to kebabs cooked over hot coals, fruit and nuts, groceries, sweets and Halal meat.

Stores also stock traditional clothing, jewellery, rugs and musical instruments.

Stage one of a $1 million makeover for the bazaar was completed in March.

The Thomas Street Streetscape Enhancement Project is designed to improve the area’s cultural identity and make the precinct more user-friendly and social.

Blue highlights throughout the

landscaping and timber outdoor seating bring a touch of Afghanistan to the street, and artwork The Lamp now sits on the corner of Thomas and Walker streets as a distinctive marker.

The base features blue mosaic tiling, referencing the high value Afghan people place on traditional arts and culture, and a complex lattice weave on the top section allows light to filter through.

It represents the different cultures and backgrounds of the people who call Australia home and symbolises freedom, peace, love and respect.

The $1.1 million project also included better lighting, overhead power line removal, expanded footpaths, new trees and better links to the new civic square on Lonsdale Street and Dandenong Railway Station.

City of Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti said the project recognised the Afghan Bazaar’s status as an emerging

cultural precinct in Melbourne.

“The Afghan Bazaar has become a popular attraction for food lovers,” he said.

“But perhaps more importantly, it has established itself as a social space where community members meet, exchange news and support one another with settlement in Australia.

“The streetscape design has been a collaborative effort between traders, community leaders and precinct stakeholders and the end result is a vibrant precinct which celebrates the Afghan people.”

The Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship and the City of Greater Dandenong jointly funded stage one.

The council is investigating funding options for the project’s second stage, which would include enhancement works throughout the entire precinct between Scott and Walker streets.

Maiwand Bakery in Scott Street serves up traditional flat breads.

IT’S A FEAST OF THE ARTS

By NARELLE COULTER

Public art is dotted throughout the city.

ARTS and culture are thriving in the City of Greater Dandenong, with visiting and resident artists weaving a rich tapestry of creativity.

As well as the Drum Theatre, the city boasts galleries, outdoor sculpture, exhibition space, workspace for artists and niche museums.

Council’s arts and cultural development coordinator Sarah Dugdale said the artistic scene in Greater Dandenong was as diverse

as the city’s population.

She advises people wanting a quick snapshot of what Dandenong has to offer to start at the acclaimed Walker Street Gallery on the corner of Walker and Robinson streets.

“At Walker Street Gallery the attractive professional exhibition space is complemented by a small and effective Black Box theatre that supports new and emerging performing artists alongside their visual art colleagues,” Ms Dugdale said.

On the other side of the Londsdale Street divide is Heritage Hill, the city’s best-kept secret garden and quiet hideaway.

“Heritage Hill Museum and Gardens is a beautiful historical haven that provides a combination of interpretive museum displays, exhibition spaces, work and meeting rooms and a growing artist in residency program. Located within the beautiful heritage garden, the two homes and smaller studio space provide a unique setting for a range of creative and cultural activities.”

Councillor Matthew Kirwan says Keysborough’s south is booming. 126068 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

BOOMTOWN

By CASEY NEILL

KEYSBOROUGH’S south is booming.

Its population is forecast to grow 115 per cent between 2013 and 2018, to nearly 15,000 residents.

Councillor Matthew Kirwan grew up in Keysborough, and said the area had always been a great place to raise a family.

“With Parkmore Shopping Centre and great recreational reserves like Wachter Reserve, Rowley Allan Reserve and Coomoora Reserve, the older part of Keysborough is well catered for,” he said.

Cr Kirwan said Keysborough south’s main asset was a 20 per cent open space requirement.

“But government - both state and local - need to take action to provide infrastructure for this growing area,” he said.

He said there were bus stops but no bus routes, “increasingly important not just as the population increases, but also as there is a growing amount of teenagers and senior citizens in the area.”

There is also no government primary or secondary school in Keysborough south.

“The lack of a government primary school means that parents are choosing primary schools in not only the older part of Keysborough, but also Edithvale, Dingley and even Dandenong North to send their children - not conducive to building a sense of community,” Cr Kirwan said.

He said the council was investigating plans for a community hub, including a kindergarten, long day care and occasional care, maternal and child health, a multipurpose community space and neighbourhood house.

SECRET DANDY “AN UNDISCOVERED GEM” that’s how long-time real estate agent and resident Colin Kitney sees Dandenong.

Mr Kitney, Director of Barry Plant Real Estate in Langhorne Street, has grown up in the area and has been in the real estate industry in Dandenong for more than 40 years.

So he has certainly seen a lot of changes and knows the area better than most.

He says most people in Melbourne don’t realise the gem that Dandenong is and what it has to offer - with transport links and facilities of all types.

“It is a true regional centre,” he said.

“It is the main area for the south eastern suburbs - it’s the centre.

“Anything you need you don’t have to go into the city or to somewhere like Frankston - hospitals, schools - it’s all here.

“And it’s still cheap to buy - it’s not as expensive - you

Colin Kitney. can still get a good house for $400,000 - three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a school around the corner.”

He said there had been many changes in the region -including it becoming more and more culturally diverse reflected in the number of different eateries and the vast variety of cuisines available.

“I remember when there

was only the hamburger shop,” he laughed.

However, he said the biggest change sweeping Dandenong now was the change from a retail centre to a more commercial centre, with more government departments and banks coming into the centre of Dandenong and the retail focus moving to places like Fountain Gate.

TO MARKET, FOR MILLIONS

By NARELLE COULTER FIVE million people shop at the Dandenong market each year, ranking it alongside Melbourne’s other premier markets the Queen Victoria, South Melbourne and Prahran.

The market has been part of the Dandenong retail landscape for almost 150 years and is a key reason why people are drawn from all over Melbourne to shop at the fresh produce stalls, abundant meat, poultry and seafood halls, speciality shops, delis and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of market square.

With Market Week 2014 looming it is an exciting time at the bustling market.

General manager Jennifer Hibbs said Market Week, 6-14 September, would be a “wonderful celebration of our Global Community”.

People flock from all over Melbourne to soak in the colour and atmosphere of Dandenong Market.

“We have some amazing events inspired by the multicultural tastes, sights, smells and sounds that characterise Dandenong’s beloved market. Our spruiking competition is hotting up to be one of our main

events for Market Week with the market’s most boisterous and colourful characters taking centre stage to battle it out.

“The cooking classes offer customers the opportunity to learn

how to make dumplings, fresh pasta and fillet fish with our Dandenong Market experts sharing their traditional recipes; and of course we have the fabulous Full Moon Festival. We are really thrilled with the building excitement for Market Week, it’s set to be truly wonderful for Dandenong and the wider community.

“The free tours are a great way for residents to introduce themselves to the market if they haven’t been or haven’t been for a while.”

Ms Hibbs said over the next 12 months, the market would nurture Sunday trading, reinvigorate Market Square, plan an alfresco dining space, re-brand and improve its trader mix.

The market started Sunday trading in October last year to capture new audiences.

Transforming the Market Square, the market’s main eating

area and a meeting place for shoppers, is a key project this financial year and will cost about $250,000.

An alfresco dining area and family zone are on the cards for the southern car park, with planning to happen over the next 12 months and construction to start in 2015-’16.

Plans include a collection of cafes serviced by a comfortable and inviting outdoor dining environment where customers can sit and enjoy food and beverages.

There will also be a children’s outdoor play area and parents’ facilities, as well as other complementary retail outlets.

In 2014-’15 the market will pilot evening trading opportunities starting with extended trading hours for the World Fare, which in March attracted 21,000 people.

The Market is open Sunday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

GROWING WITH THE TOWN and then mixed with Italian and Greek immigrants post-war.

These days, Dandenong has become a major business and manufacturing hub and a diverse multi-cultural mix which has made it such a unique and exciting place.

The State Government is eager to see Dandenong be the second major city outside of Melbourne. It already hosts around 50 per cent

of the manufacturing base of Victoria.

McLennan Real Estate has now outgrown its original home at 244 Lonsdale Street, Dandenong and its rental office at 30-32 Langhorne Street, Dandenong and has recently moved its operation to a very prominent and highly exposed site behind the Drum Theatre on the corner of Langhorne and Walker streets at 118 Walker

Street, Dandenong. McLennans secured the ground floor and first level of the building to accommodate its 25-strong staff.

Directors Daryl Rayner and Tony Rachele encourage all to visit the new state of the art offices.

McLennans is sure to continue that personal, friendly, communitybased service which has seen them thrive with Dandenong since those early years.

n o i l i v a P g n Dandeno e n r u o b l e M n I Number 1 We are proud to announce that Dandenong’s own, Dandenong Pavilion has been voted the best burger establishment in Melbourne by The Age Epicure!!!!

McLENNAN Real Estate Pty Ltd has grown with Dandenong since before the second world war, first opening its doors to the community in 1936.

In those early days and until well into the 1960s, Dandenong was a country outpost to Melbourne and known as the Gateway to Gippsland.

Predominantly its community was of Anglo Saxon background

AN ART exhibition with political and violent themes has been taken down by the City of Greater Dandenong after just two days.

The decision followed community complaints about Toys: Culture and Community which was displayed on the Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens fence on Monday last week.

The works include depictions of a Lego man who burns down a building and goes to jail and military figures contrasted against a pink background.

Artists behind the images claimed the move restricted their freedom of speech and said they hadn’t been told why the council had swooped.

Council community services director Mark Doubleday said the complaints prompted the decision.

“The photographs on display, while of an excellent standard, were not considered appropriate for the venue,” he said.

The council has since found space for the works at Walker Street Gallery in Dandenong but the four students involved are disappointed that their audience will now be restricted.

Jill Dixon was among the group, whose members were completing certificate IV in photo imaging at Chisholm TAFE in Dandenong, which produced four poster-sized photos each under the theme ‘toys’.

One of her images featured a stack of toy cars with a screw through the middle, commenting on the Australian car industry’s demise, and politicians climbing a money tower in another.

“If these photos have made an impact on someone this much, maybe there’s a message?” she said.

Linden Backhausen’s images placed army toys against a pink background to highlight gender bias in children’s games.

Jemma Dwyer used Barbie dolls to comment on body image issues.

“We got a complaint about it saying

A train-led recovery “But if we have a long-term rail manufacturer, it will go a long way to making a dent into the (departing) auto industry.”

Jill Walsh, of Dandenong-based Actco Pickering Metal Industries, said “time had gone past quoting local content percentages”.

“Hopefully the government mandates for the train shells to be built here. That is the key to the whole train being built locally and for the value-adding down the supply chain.

“We make great trains in Dandenong - among the most reliable in the world. We just need the opportunity to do it.”

Australian Industry Group state director Tim Piper said a 30 per cent local content level could deny local suppliers “a run at it”.

He said manufacturers bringing in overseas parts and assembling them locally could meet 30 per cent local content.

“By buying in Australia, governments make sure skills are retained

here, jobs are kept here and social infrastructure is given a positive boost.

“The income tax, payroll tax and WorkCover payments stay here.

They don’t have to pay as much social welfare.”

Opposition manufacturing spokesman Adem Somyurek said a Labor Government would lift local content for rail rolling stock above 30 per cent.

“We will be using government procurement to create jobs.

“In principle, we believe in local content and $15 billion of State Government purchasing is a powerful way of driving the local economy.”

He said the rail stock-making industry was important because it had crossover in skills and technology with the departing auto industry A spokeswoman for Manufacturing Minister David Hodgett did not respond before deadline.

Mayor put on ice

By CASEY NEILL “I COULDN’T breathe for like three seconds afterwards. They put a lot of ice in my bucket!”

But Mayor Jim Memeti was proud to have taken part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, to raise funds for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research, known in Australia as motor neurone disease.

“We’re collecting a bit of money as a council, and the challenge went well,” he said.

“I’m not sure how we’re going to go, but it will be in the hundreds – hopefully $1000.”

Dani Zeini from Dandenong Pavilion nominated Cr Memeti, who in turn nominated city planning, design and amenity director Jody Bosman, corporate services director Mick Jaensch and Cr Sean O’Reilly.

About 60 people surrounded Cr Memeti and four other City of Greater Dandenong staff as they took the challenge in the Dandenong civic square last Friday afternoon.

“As an organisation, we’ve raised awareness,” he said.

“It’s a terrible disease, and anyone who has family or friends with it knows it’s a terrible disease.

“The body shuts down and the mind remains normal.

“It’s for a good cause.”

IN THE throes of the local auto industry’s demise, Dandenong’s manufacturers are seeking government guarantees that Victoria’s next train and tram fleets won’t be built overseas.

The State Government did not respond to rumours last week that 25 new trains for the Dandenong rail corridor project could be largely built overseas under minimum 30 per cent local content levels.

Bombardier Transportation, which employs 430 staff at its Dandenong factory, is in the running for the train contract.

It also wants the State Government to exercise an option for a further 100 Dandenong-built trams.

The project – so far comprising 50 Bombardier-built trams – has a supply-chain of 350 Australian and New Zealand businesses.

Andrew Spink, director of Bombardier Transportation, wouldn’t comment on the company’s quest

to build the Dandenong rail corridor fleet.

However he said the company was seeking extension of its trambuilding contract from the government before November’s state election.

“The trams have proven to have fantastic quality. Our Vlocity (diesel train) vehicles are one of the best for reliability in the world.

“It’s not as though we’re desperate, but we’re looking for long-term sustainability.

“We need to know for next year if we can continue production beyond those 50 trams.”

Bombardier is also currently building 43 Vlocity train carriages for V’Line and 66 electric train cars for Adelaide lines.

Mr Spink said the factory was “Dandenong’s biggest employer”, creating specialised welding schools for the tram project.

“We’ll never be a direct replacement for the car industry.

Bakery radiates smell of success EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS WALK through the door of Dandy Naan bakery, and the first thing that hits you is searing radiation.

Then it is the sheer enormity of the 250 degrees Centigrade gas-fired oven that looms as large as a bus.

Within its space-age cavern, the furnace bakes Iranian sangak bread on a slow-moving turntable in three minutes.

Co-owner Mohammad Musawi says no other bakery in Melbourne

Saeed Musawi with the finished bread. 125968 cooks sangak - a generously-proportioned naan-like flat bread with a pebbled texture.

Picture: ROB CAREW

The bread derives its name, which translates to “little stone”, from its traditional cooking surface. It has long

been cooked on hot stones within a tandoori-style oven.

Mr Musawi’s month-old bakery is hard to find, without so much as a business sign and advertised by little more than word-of-mouth.

Yet it’s already building a regular, Melbourne-wide clientele hungry for sangak, sold in 500-gram pieces for $2 straight out of the oven and wrapped in paper.

“For Iranians, this is the bread they love,” Mr Musawi said.

Others are being converted to the taste; one customer buying up to 20 for barbecues.

Traditionally sangak is eaten simply with sheep fetta or kebabs, salad and onion.

Mr Musawi gave up his job as an in-

dustrial designer to start the business.

He created the bakery’s striking fittings, including the counter, lights and a housing for the gargantuan oven imported from Iran.

As Mr Musawi watches customers queue, he says: “Yeah, I made the right move.”

He has been joined in this enterprise by his brother Zahir, who learnt baking in their Iranian homeland, and his father Saeed, who arrived in Australia as a refugee five years before his sons.

At the moment, the bakery is cooking a reputation for cheap breads. Soon to come are kebabs, coffee, salads and snacks.

Dandy Naan is open Tuesday-Sunday at 30 Stud Road, Dandenong.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 3 September 1914 Late Delivery of Papers We have to apologise to many of our Dandenong subscribers for the late delivery of papers last week. Owing to the fact that two of our employees are at present with the troops in camp, delivery could not be effected in the ordinary way, thus it became necessary to send all papers to the post office on Wednesday night. Thursday morning the authorities informed us that the staff could not deliver the extra papers by the morning delivery, but that they would be distributed as soon as possible during the day, which was done. While recognising the effort made to effect delivery, which is appreciated, it is quite evident that the present staff was insufficient to deal with the volume of business

on the morning in question, and, in order that proper provision might be made in future, we promptly communicated particulars of our complaint to the Postmaster-General.

We are informed inquiry is being made into the matter. During the present crisis, no doubt every business department has become somewhat disarranged, the local post office included, but it should not be an impossible undertaking to make provision for the delivery of the papers on Thursday morning.

50 years ago 2 September 1964 New Scare at Creek Ten-year old Michael, of Dandenong calmly fished for carp for three hours yesterday in an SEC dam while police and civilians frantically

searched for him along the dangerous Dandenong Creek. Michael had gone fishing near the Lonsdale Street Bridge, but had disappeared when his father went looking for him two hours later. Police were called in. Three carloads of police, motorcycle police, and civilians began searching the creek between the Lonsdale Street Bridge and Bangholme. Michael’s father walked up and down the creek for several miles, at times he was knee-deep in mud and water.

He was very distressed. Michael was found by his father about 3pm.

He did not know a search had been going on. His father said “Michael was tickled pink with his catch – two carp about two inches long. He had wandered off from where I had left him fishing under the Lonsdale Street Bridge, met a mate, and be-

The soles of self-esteem

Capri Blinds

& Curtains

By CASEY NEILL MAKING a song and dance about self-esteem had a big impact on Noble Park students last week.

The Nubian Gents performed at Noble Park Secondary College last Wednesday, using dance to inspire teens to pursue a love for life-long learning and discipline through the arts.

The New York group seeks to address issues around low self-esteem, identity, negative peer pressure, bullying and low productivity.

“As a school, we really do care about our kids and the welfare of our students is of greatest importance,” acting vice-principal Helen Karagounis said.

“If they’re not happy, they’re not learning.”

She said students were hanging off every word from the performers and heard their messages loud and clear.

“The kids didn’t want to go to recess,” she said.

“They were just sitting there and wanted to ask questions.

“It was visual, so language barriers didn’t matter.

“We have students from non-English speaking backgrounds who arrived six months ago.

“They would have got it. They would have been able to connect with it, too.”

Ms Karagounis said the biggest thing students took from the performance was that “they can do it”.

“Irrespective of where they come from, what they’re about, the baggage, the negative stuff that can happen in life - that they matter,” she said.

“That they are individuals. That they don’t have to be anything else but themselves. People will accept them.

“It was quite obvious that the dancers had a few issues in their lives, and have been able to work through it.”

Students and teachers joined the troupe on stage, fostering connectedness.

The Noble Park Secondary student representative council (SRC) organised the event.

“We’re going to tap into the SRC, made up of school leaders, look at other projects and workshops to continue that momentum,” she said.

“Our kids are resilient. It’s just good to have a reminder every now and again that you’re not alone.”

RE: Bike clampdown YES, there are some riders out there that need a ‘talking to’, but over 80 per cent of motorcycle injuries are in multi-vehicle accidents.

Usually they’re the result of car drivers just not looking, turning in front of bikes, lane changing, pulling out of side streets etc.

What is really needed is better education for all road users.

David Duffin, via web.

MORE LIES and anti-motorcycle propaganda from VicPol. Current TAC stats show motorcycle fatalities are DOWN 33 per cent on last year.

Rob Jenner, via web.

MOTORCYCLE registrations have significantly increased over the past several years, while crash numbers have slightly declined. In REAL terms this is a very positive thing. Unfortunately, we have police who can’t count to 10 without removing their boots, let alone understand anything as sophisticated as simple statistical analysis, and therefore we have fatuous statements like these.

Tonye, via web.

GREAT time to p*** off every motorcycle rider coming through the City of Casey on their way to the MotoGP. Who allowed this cop to come out with such arcane statements? They need to do far more than just jump down riders’ throats with enforcement-based tactics. I find these sorts of typical vilification descriptions upsetting. If you want to reduce rider injuries - then start from within the motorcycle community, develop better relations with riders who genuinely want to get involved and use them to promulgate your message. Coming down hard on riders is not going to win any friends - especially in the climate emanating from anti-bikie legislation like that in Queensland, where there was a massive backlash from riders who didn’t like being singled out for special treatment. Pull riders over only after they have broken a road law, not for just no good reason, other than to

I WAS recently hit by a car while riding my motorbike. I was on my way home from work, going through the roundabout literally 30 seconds away from my house.

I was well and truly in the roundabout, and a car came from the left and cleaned me up.

Without an apology, he told me that he didn’t see me, while I was lying on the ground.

I have spent the last month unable to walk and on crutches.

I wasn’t doing anything wrong. But the government brands us all as reckless and dangerous, and doesn’t recognise the true risk of riding is not the riders themselves, but the other people on the road.

Spiros, via web.

ABOUT this time last year my son and I got cleaned up by an on-duty police officer. The officer performed a U-turn and turned right in front of my bike. I was only travelling about 30 to 40kmh in the Main Street of Gembrook on a clear Sunday morning. I had nowhere to go other than under the police Mitsubishi Pajero.

Fortunately there was no physical damage to my 15-year-old son and only minor injuries to me, but the bike was a write-off.

What hope do we have if the police (trained observers) can’t even see a motorcycle in broad daylight?

Zoner, via web.

SAME old, same old. Yes, there are some w*****s out there but the stats say the rest of us are pretty cool and safe dudes. As an enforcement officer you should know to never make a statement you can’t prove to be true.

I have noticed with cycling that whenever anyone is about to start on an anti-cycling tirade they throw in “I’m a cyclist myself”. It translates into “two out of three times I can recognise a bicycle and I rode one in a park only the other year, and so am an expert”.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR It’s legal I REFER to your article regarding government cutbacks to legal aid funding which in turn have led to the statement from Catherine O’Bryan of Galbally and O’Bryans law firm (Journal, 25 August) that unrepresented people are suffering heavier sentences or being sent to jail as they cannot afford legal representation. Is she suggesting that our legal system is so corrupt and broken and that innocent people are being convicted of charges they did not commit?

I have a simple solution – if Ms O’Bryan and her fellow fatcat lawyers in the legal fraternity are so concerned maybe she could offer her services free of charge instead of sucking valuable funds out of the gravy train that is our Victorian taxes which could be better spent elsewhere on hospitals,

On that note I refer to the front page – if the confusion caused to the majority of users “who are not used to driving on the left side of the road” in their country of origin is because of a lack of traffic lights or a roundabout “telling them what to do” at Scott and Thomas streets is confusing, one wonders how DID they get their Victorian driving licence?

Especially if they ignore stop signs and don’t give way to the right. Comments like “We don’t stop at intersections” and “STOP” signs are not enough.

Really? Now maybe this accounts for why there are more cases requiring legal aid.

The age of ice

Monday, 1 September, 2014 Page 7

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS TOUGH law and order policies won’t be enough to dent the appeal of ice - which is fast becoming the most popular and damaging illegal drug, says Noble Park counsellor Gerard Koe. “It’s the highest use it’s ever been - about seven per cent of over-14s have tried ice.

“There’s a whole generation of young people trying it and the incidence of mental illness is already quite high in Western society.

“That number is going to increase dramatically.”

Mr Koe, based at the Catholic-backed Caylene Centre in Douglas Street, is not surprised by the State Opposition’s punative ice policy released last week.

Four new ice-related crimes would be created under a state Labor government, punishable by up to 25 years’ jail.

Mr Koe said cracking down on ice’s supply however wouldn’t affect the underlying demand.

Though young people could be educated about ice’s destructiveness, “bigger things” need to be addressed, he said.

“It’s a psycho-spiritual thing.

Young people are looking for excitement, to fill up their boredom because they don’t have a higher meaning.

“By that I mean, you realise there’s more to life than enjoyment. Life is about growing, being the best you can be and helping society realise its fullest potential.”

Gerard Koe has deep concerns about the pervasive, destructive drug ice. 126512 own beliefs as Catholic-Buddhist, helps up to five families a day cope with drug-addicted loved ones. Most of the cases involve alcohol, followed by cannabis and ice.

Nearly half of his clients are drug addicted themselves.

He says ice does 4-5 times more damage to a person’s neurochemistry than speed activating 12 times the normal amount of hormone dopamine.

“When you push the dopa-

mine system too much, something snaps,” Mr Koes says.

“You can get dopamine overflows, and your anxiety goes through the roof.”

The next step is psychosis, or more permanently, schizophrenia.

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said as part of his ice policy, the youth unemployment “crisis” needed to be ended to get "young people back on track”.

Crime up 2.3 per cent

By CASEY NEILL VEHICLE thefts and assaults remain a major concern for Greater Dandenong police - and they need help from the public to tackle them.

Victoria Police last week released crime statistics for the past financial year.

They showed total crime rose 2.3 per cent in the Greater Dandenong Police Service Area (PSA) compared to the previous financial year.

This was below the 5.7 per cent rise statewide.

Drug offences were up 11.4 per cent, robbery was down 13.8 per cent and residential burglary dropped 22.2 per cent.

But thefts from motor vehicles rose 13.4 per cent and theft of motor vehicles climbed 24.9 per cent.

Inspector Bruce Kitchen said

the result was a major concern and police needed help from the community.

“The majority of these thefts are occurring in residential areas where vehicles are left unlocked with valuables being in full view of criminals - making it easy for them to steal,” he said.

“Further, numerous number plates are being stolen. One-way screws are available through a number of locations, so please obtain them and affix them to your car.”

Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said there was a statewide 9.2 per cent rise in motor vehicle thefts.

“While many cars are still being stolen by joyriders, we’re seeing an increase in the numbers of cars that we aren’t finding,” he said.

“We suspect these vehicles are being taken by criminal groups

to make money by selling them to scrap metal yards.”

Insp Kitchen said assaults in Greater Dandenong were up 5.8 per cent overall, and assaults excluding family violence rose 5.6 per cent.

“An analysis of our statistics has shown that with the majority of these assaults, both the offender and victim are known to each other,” he said.

“We will work with residential care facilities and accommodation houses to make the community safer.”

He said the Greater Dandenong family violence unit continued to have a significant impact on recidivist offenders and the referral process.

“It is our view that these strategies will help break the cycle of

violence and make the family home safer,” he said.

“Greater Dandenong is one of few PSAs that continues to see a reduction in family violence reports over a 12-month period.”

On the roads, total injuries were down 12.1 per cent. Insp Kitchen said operations to remove drug and alcohol affected or unlicensed drivers from the roads would continue.

“Hoon activity is still evident within our area and we appreciate the community reporting this illegal behaviour to police,” he said.

He encouraged everyone who lived or worked in Greater Dandenong to be vigilant and call local police or triple zero to report crime.

“You are our eyes and ears and we need your help to make the City of Greater Dandenong a safer place,” he said.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… A KEYSBOROUGH hairdresser has delivered four wheelchairs, toys, hearing aids, spectacles and food to Thailand’s most needy.

Carmela Ercolano encountered people with disabilities struggling to get around during a holiday earlier this year, raised more than $2500 for the project and received a donation of a wheelchair.

“It was hard work but we did it,” she told the Journal last week.

“We ended up taking them to a nursing home, the four wheelchairs.

“They were really grateful.”

LOW numbers forced South East Business Networks (SEBN) to cancel its 21st annual industry dinner.

The night was scheduled for 21 August, and Coopers Brewery chairman Glenn Cooper

was to be the guest speaker.

But just a few days out, SEBN had only received about 60 bookings - down from about 110 last year and well short of covering costs - and made the tough decision to cancel.

GREATER Dandenong Neighbourhood Watch’s next forum will drum up support for the Blue Ribbon Foundation.

The foundation perpetuates the memory of Victoria Police members killed in the line of duty, and will hold Blue Ribbon Day commemorations on 29 September.

It will provide a guest speaker for the Neighbourhood Watch event on Wednesday 17 September, at the Paddy O`Donoghue Centre, 18-34 Buckley Street, Noble Park, from 7.30pm to 9pm.

A DRIVER more than three times over the blood-alcohol limit dropped smoky burnouts in front of the wrong person.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard the 20-year-old father told an off-duty policeman to “get the f*** out of my way c***” when he tried to intervene in the display.

The driver habitually used “copious amounts” of drugs and alcohol, was out on bail at the time of the offence, had a suspended licence, blew 0.181 and had no memory of the incident.

The magistrate ordered him to perform 200 hours of unpaid work, fined him $750 and suspended his licence for two years.

Taking a toll A BANKRUPT trucking-businessman has blamed undiagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder for racking up more than $200,000 in unpaid toll infringements.

George Ambatzidis faced a $201,085 bill for 713 toll infringements, as well as pleading guilty to breaching a suspended jail term in what his lawyer Joseph Alesci called a “day of reckoning” in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

“It’s time for George to stop running and take responsibility for his actions,” Mr Alesci said.

“He told me: ‘I was hoping if I ignored (the infringements) they’d just go away.’”

Ambatzidis pleaded guilty to resisting police and sheriff officers’ efforts to search his home on 20 July 2012.

That day, officers found in his home and car a set of police lights, siren and PA system, a laser pointer - 500 times stronger than legal - and three tasers, which were all purchased in Thailand.

Ambatzidis’s lawyer told the court the accused thought they were “toys” that he used to entertain children at his father’s farm.

Officers also found three sets of unprescribed pharmaceuticals, four cannabis plants in pots, a cultivation lamp and two home-made bongs.

The court was told Ambatzidis had spent about $40,000 on the drug ice, and up until giving up last month smoked 1-2 grams of cannabis a day.

When stressed, Ambatzidis self-medicated with cannabis, Mr Alesci said. “He now has the support of an extended family.

He’s rehabilitated himself. He has taken ownership.”

Mr Alesci admitted Ambatzidis faced an immediate jail term, having been caught twice driving while suspended this year - breaching a suspended jail term for the same offence.

“His culpability is reduced because he didn’t know of this (mental health) issue,” Mr Alesci said.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen’s computer crashed at one

stage because it “couldn’t cope with 713 infringements”.

Given Ambatzidis’s mental disorder, Mr Vandersteen found imprisoning Ambatzidis would be disproportionate, excessive and unduly harsh.

He said he’d reduce the owed toll money to about $68,000 to be paid in instalments. Mr Alesci said it would realistically take Ambatzidis seven years to pay the amount.

Mr Vandersteen said he could offer $15,000 ($20 for each infringement) as a one-off payment.

Ambatzidis was convicted, fined $1000 and ordered to perform 175 hours of unpaid work on a 12-month community corrections order, which included drug and mental health treatment.

Mr Vandersteen said he’d defer handing down a penalty for the suspended sentence breach until he assessed Ambatzidis’s progress on the CCO in December.

He also deferred the toll bill question until then.

Kids in battle of the wits

By CASEY NEILL A KEYSBOROUGH school is matching minds with the best of them.

Mt Hira College this year entered a team in Tournament of Minds for the first time.

It’s a national problemsolving competition for primary and secondary school students.

Teams solve demanding,

open-ended challenges in applied technology, language literature, maths engineering or social sciences.

The Mt Hira team received an honours award in the primary school division for applied technology.

"We were in the top four schools for the whole of the metropolitan central region and there were hundreds of schools competing," principal

Patricia Gay said.

"This is a huge achievement for a relatively small school."

The aim of Tournament of Minds is to help young people develop diverse skills, enterprise, time management, and the discipline to work collaboratively within a challenging and competitive environment, to enhance their potential.

Candidate for mental health

By CASEY NEILL DALE Key wants his run for State Parliament to help remove the stigma of mental illness from the political arena.

The Lyndhurst man has announced he’ll be an independent candidate for Dandenong at the November state election.

He was the Liberal Party’s candidate for the seat in 2010.

“However, it is not always desirable to be associated with a political party that has federal activities when my political ambition is to be active on state issues,” Mr Key said.

“I have great vision for Dandenong and the surrounding south east corridor.

“While my political views are largely conservative, I understand and appreciate the need for social equality and will continue to review issues with a balanced approach so the pendulum does not swing too far in either direction.”

Mr Key said there was strong support in his family for organisations involved in mental health recovery.

“I have experienced the recovery from clinical depression myself after diagnosis in 1992,” he said.

“With the assistance of the medical profession, Centrelink and a strong will to survive I

was able to recover, slowly at first but then with great reverence as a strong, engaging member of society.”

He said understanding and support for mental illness had increased since his diagnosis.

“But I realise there still is an enormous way to go to the point where people with constant balance understand the daily challenges of those with mood swings and other afflictions,” he said.

“I am delighted to be championing the movement to remove the stigma of mental ill-

ness from the political arena.”

Mr Key said the months leading up to the election might prove challenging as a political candidate.

“But I can assure everyone that the challenge of living with and recovering from mental illness is a far greater achievement,” he said.

Labor MP John Pandazopoulos is stepping down from the seat after almost 22 years.

Gabrielle Williams will vie to keep the seat in the party’s hands, while Joanna Palatsides is the Liberal Party candidate.

Drugs booby trap

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A 54-YEAR-old Noble Park disability pensioner will contest drug trafficking charges after police found her at home with five grams of heroin and $435 cash stashed in her bra.

Police prosecutor Cameron Smithett told Dandenong Magistrates' Court that Mary Bou allegedly claimed to police she found the drugs in a shoebox in her rubbish bin out on the nature strip.

She allegedly said she had “no idea” what they were and denied trafficking heroin.

The drugs and cash were found during a police raid at a Noble Park home on 5 February.

During a pat-down search of Bou, small papers containing heroin, a small bag of ‘rock’ heroin and the money were found in her bra.

Senior Constable Smithett told the court that police believed other equipment found in the house - mobile phones, iPods, video and digital cameras and gold jewellery - were stolen.

Bou allegedly told police the cash was for her rent, and didn’t know

about the alleged stolen goods.

Senior Constable Smithett said a large shoebox containing papers that were “consistent with” wrapping for heroin was found in the living room.

Bou’s legal-aid duty lawyer said Bou - who has no prior convictions had intended to ask other people living in the house about the shoebox’s contents after finding the box in the bottom of her bin.

“She’s not conceding what was found on her was drugs.”

“Why put it in her bra?” magistrate Jack Vandersteen said.

The defence lawyer said people from Cambodia commonly stashed money in their bra. “It’s where she knows where things are.”

The lawyer said Bou could not get Victoria Legal Aid funding for a lawyer in contest proceedings and would organise a private lawyer.

Jack Vandersteen said he had a “degree of scepticism” for Bou’s claims.

“I’m just asking you to speak to a lawyer.”

The hearing was adjourned for mention last Friday.

Students love their sport

By CASEY NEILL EMERSON students are acing their studies while leading the way.

The Dandenong school, which caters for students with mild intellectual disabilities, this year started a Vocational Education and Training (VET) sport and recreation class.

Sport teacher Kevin Van Twest said it was the first time a specialist school had offered the course.

“It gives them a recognised certificate that can lead to employment at a gym or at a local sporting club,” he said.

“It’s really important that they get that sort of grounding at school.”

Fault-less Tennis Coaching in Hallam is donating court time for practical studies, and gave the school $500 for sports shirts. “$30 from mum and dad for a shirt is really hard to come by,” he said.

“They let us use their courts and they ran coaching sessions for us.”

Sampey hits out at panel

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong councillor Maria Sampey has called for the replacement of both members on a “rigged” councillor-conduct panel set to hear her misconduct allegations levelled at another councillor.

Ahead of the October hearing, Cr Sampey has requested that panellist John Bruce stand down, alleging a conflict of interest.

Her request was rebuffed by panel chairwoman and lawyer Katrina Raymond. Cr Sampey has since also called for her removal.

“I feel the whole thing is rigged,” Cr Sampey said. “I don’t feel they will be fair to me.

“The MAV should remove that perception by standing them down.”

The allegations against Cr Angela Long stem from a secret investigation and report launched by her - as mayor - and council chief executive John Bennie into Cr Sampey and Cr Peter Brown last year.

After the report, no action was taken against Crs Sampey and Brown.

Cr Sampey, who has been on stress leave since late last year, said panellist John Bruce had a conflict of interest because of his past association with Mr Bennie.

She was concerned that Mr Bennie reigned as chief executive of Manningham Council during the same time as Mr Bruce was Manningham mayor.

Mr Bruce also presided over a councillor conduct panel hearing that reprimanded Cr Sampey for misconduct against Cr Long in 2010.

Municipal Association chief executive Rob Spence said the MAV had “no legislated or other power” to intervene in the panel’s proceedings.

Ms Raymond did not return the Journal’s calls.

Stimulating the senses

By CASEY NEILL A DRAB wall at a Springvale school is now a sensory showpiece.

For the past few months Pakenham artist Belinda Conibeer has worked with Springvale Park Special Developmental School art teacher Katina Vryonis on a 17-metre mosaic.

The mural is the backdrop to a sensory garden and has a native animals theme.

“We both had the same sort of idea - animals and birds and bugs and things from the local area that the kids might see,” Ms Conibeer said.

They unveiled and celebrated the finished artwork at a grand opening on Monday 25 August.

“It was great to see it finished and to stand back and go, ‘wow, we did that’,” Ms Conibeer said.

“It’s my biggest mosaic yet.

“I feel part of the school. There’s going to be more projects in the future.

“The kids finding a piece that they worked on - that’s the best.”

Students helped to create three large butterflies that feature on the wall, which also contributes to the sensory garden through round pebbles, cup handles and 20 ladybirds hidden in the design.

“It’s full of colour, too,” Ms Conibeer said.

Principal Jackie Lowther said the school had a sensory garden at its previous location in Noble Park.

“We find it so beneficial for our students,” she said.

“It provides opportunities for our students, who have mild to profound

disabilities, to explore the environment using all of their senses.”

GPT Group, Australian Native Landscapes, Bunnings Warehouse Springvale, other businesses and the school community helped to make the project a reality.

“All the plants are edible and there are all different textures and smells and the colours,” Ms Lowther said.

“There’s a lovely gazebo where the kids can sit and enjoy the garden and some musical pieces in the garden.

“The mosaic is on an existing wall, a tired-looking wall at the back of the gym.

“It’s all wheelchair accessible, including the gazebo.”

Ms Lowther said the space pro-

Long wait on school site THE Noble Park community is still waiting for action on a graffiti-ravaged abandoned primary school, almost three years after its closure.

A spokeswoman for Education Minister Martin Dixon on 4 June said the State Government would engage a demolition contractor for the Southvale site on Athol Road by the end of the month, and that demolition would start soon after.

But City of Greater Dandenong planning, design and amenity director Jody Bosman is frustrated with the school’s state and a lack of action from the State Government.

“This council is very concerned about the condition of the abandoned school buildings and site, and the potential for the site to accommodate anti-social activities,” he said.

“The council also finds unacceptable and offensive graffiti which is clearly on view to the neighbouring residents and passers-by, and which has not been removed.”

Mr Bosman said contact with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development over the past nine months included letters from the mayor and CEO to senior office holders.

“The council is really disappointed that these petitions have met with little success,” he said.

“The council would like to see the derelict buildings demolished and the site maintained to an acceptable standard.

“In the meantime, the very least that should be done is that the graffiti is removed or painted over and the derelict buildings secured.”

A spokeswoman for Mr Dixon said a contract for demolition had been signed.

“Site preparation works have begun and the demolition should commence shortly,” she said.

The State Government has declared the site surplus to education needs.

However, a spokeswoman could not confirm whether other government departments had expressed interest in using the land, or would offer it to the council.

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

TIMELESS DESIGN BUYERS with a discerning eye for early 20s century architecture will love Red Bluff Homes’s take on the iconic Californian bungalow.

The Californian pays homage to the timeless design principals which originated in America in the early 20th century and were popular in Australia in the 1920s and ’30s.

The façade of the home is immediately recognisable as a Californian bungalow with its distinctive front porch, incorporating stone and brickwork, framing the main building.

The quality of the build is immediately

Fro rom rom

evident in the portico’s timber decking and timber ceiling.

Art deco touches, including ceiling roses, lighting and decorative cornices, feature throughout the front of the house, before the rear gives way to a more contemporary feel.

High ceilings and above average door heights add to the spacious feel of the interior.

The master bedroom, featuring a large window looking over the porch, includes his and hers walk-in wardrobes and a spacious ensuite, with separate toilet, glass shower and double vanity.

NEW HOMES & LAND

NEW STAGE RISES FOR RELEASE Waterford Rise’s latest Stage 40 land release has hit the market.

It is designed to offer homebuyers amazing value for money, particularly for those looking to get a foothold on the property ladder.

Waterford Rise general manager Glenn Sanford said the release features 13 blocks ranging in size from 582 to 867 square metres, with prices starting from an extremely affordable $139,000.

“Located on the crest of the estate on Crole Drive, these lots offer sensational views in every direction and like all lots at Waterford Rise, they come levelled, fully-fenced and ready to build on,” Mr Sanford said.

“The development’s careful landscaping and beautiful parkland are set against impressive views of the Baw Baw Ranges to the north, the Strzelecki Ranges to the east and hundreds of acres of beautiful green paddocks in between.”

Waterford Rise is currently experiencing an unprecedented phase of construction with 28 houses presently being built on the estate and on completion will take the number of homes constructed since the estate’s inception to about 160.

“The amount of work being generated for local tradespeople is significant and a welcome boon to the local economy and it means we are really starting to see our terrific community here at Waterford Rise really take shape,” Mr Sanford said.

“Waterford Rise will ultimately house around 3000 to 4000 people who will enjoy the many benefits of living five minutes from the Warragul CBD, enjoying extensive walking and cycling paths, landscaped parks, sporting grounds, lakes and wetlands,” he said.

Waterford Rise also recently released its

premium The Rise Release Stage 7 which features eight remaining parcels of land along the crest of Crole Drive ranging in size from 674 to 733 square metres with prices starting at $159,000.

Mr Sanford said these homesites offered buyers a range of premium land options with amazing views and direct access to parkland.

“The Rise Release blocks are some of finest offered so far at the development

all boasting spectacular views as well as direct access to parkland just across the road.

“With fantastic views, which can never be built out due to their elevation, as well as designated parkland right across the road, we expect this precinct to feature houses that really bring Waterford Rise’s beautiful natural surrounds right into the home.

“Another great feature of The Rise

Release is the depth of the blocks, which range from 38 metres to 45 metres, allowing for generous, north-facing backyards further enhancing their attractiveness to buyers who can’t get enough of the great outdoors,” he said.

SPRING IN YOUR STEP FOR SELLING ENZO RAIMONDO

CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

The spring selling season is upon us - which is generally the busiest season of the property year.

Last spring was certainly a bumper season across regional Victoria, especially for auctions - with 834 auctions in September and October, up from 584 in those two months in 2012.

REIV forward estimates of auctions this spring point to the likelihood of as many, perhaps more, as the popularity of auctions in outer suburbs and across regional Victoria continues.

Clearance rates are expected to be fairly similar to last spring.

From 1 January until early August this year there were 1567 auctions in regional Victoria, with an

average clearance rate of 51 per cent (clearance rates in regional Victoria are traditionally lower than in Melbourne).

This compares to 1134 auctions to this time last year, with an average clearance rate of 49 per cent.

Even though regional auction clearance rates are lower than in the city, last spring there were some excellent results with Echuca and Geelong West performing particularly well.

Shepparton, Belmont and Warragul also had clearance rates above 60 per cent.

In Echuca, where the clearance rate was 76 per cent, the market appears to have lost a little steam

and this rate has fallen to 50 per cent.

But Geelong West, which had a clearance rate of 77 per cent, continues to perform strongly.

Three other areas of Geelong Newtown, Geelong East and Belmont - are also attracting more demand at auction so appear to be well-placed for the forthcoming auction season.

Warragul, Shepparton and Bendigo are also performing well on the auction market so far this year.

For those thinking of selling, now is the time to begin preparation to ensure your property looks its best for spring.

These range from tidying the

garden, fixing and painting the fence, cleaning the gutters and clearing out the garage.

Inside, spring cleaning becomes pre-spring cleaning as the house needs to be made spotless from top to bottom and de-cluttered including placing furniture in storage if necessary to give an open, spacious look.

It’s a great idea to also study local sales results, which will help to find a local agent to provide marketing advice, plan the sales campaign and provide additional tips to maximise the sale price.

Once all this is in place and with the home prepared, sellers will be able to face the spring selling season with confidence.

Different days for migrants

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS TIMES were so different when 30,000 migrants found refuge in Springvale’s Enterprise Migrant Hostel, says its champion Merle Mitchell.

When the hostel was open between 1970-1992, there was a welcoming and bipartisan attitude and policies of successive governments, she says.

“Malcolm Fraser’s government said we have to do something about refugee camps in Malaysia and Hong Kong. In one year we took in 15,000 refugees and the sky didn’t fall in.

“Those people were made welcome.”

Ms Mitchell said in providing a service, you had to look behind the problem and find the cause. Then you can set a policy to improve things, she argues.

More people, including refugee agencies, needed to speak out against more recent government policy, she says.

“I think it’s absolutely vital that agencies keep bringing to the fore that the difficulties they are facing are not created by the people they’re helping.

“It’s been created by the government policies put in place. So in a way the community has to take some responsibility that we’ve allowed governments to do that over the years.”

Ms Mitchell has been part of the

Merle Mitchell and Isabel Stix at the former Enterprise site. 126005 Enterprise since the start and she continues to promote the hostel’s salutary story as convener of a wide-spanning history project.

She says many residents and leaders in Springvale were instantly welcoming to new arrivals.

Springvale mayor Andrew Erikson

told new arrivals they were part of this community and to “keep your language, keep your social clubs and keep your places of worship”.

From that wellspring, the voluntary Springvale Community Aid and Advice Service - of which Ms Mitchell was a director - a migrant host scheme

Picture: GARY SISSONS and the nation’s first interpreter service were forged.

Greater Dandenong has since flourished into one of Australia’s most multicultural communities.

“It made us the interesting place and vibrant community that we are.

Someone said to me I just have to sit

down in the street in Springvale and I’m surrounded by the world.”

Isabel Stix has been a proud ‘mother’ to many hundreds of orphan refugees at the Enterprise in the 1980s.

She recently moved back to the site, now occupied by Lexington Gardens aged care home.

“It’s like I’ve put my roots back into the ground.”

She still keeps in touch with her ‘children’, many of whom have formed their own families around Springvale.

But when they first arrived they had nothing but the clothes on their backs and knew no-one.

Ms Stix said it was a struggle at times looking after up to 15 children “who had no families, care or love”.

“It’s a nice thing to see someone come with nothing then they do their studies and work and they have their own families. They are very happy.”

She looks back to the days of the Enterprise as the “greatest time” and wonders how Australia could employ a “shocking” regime against asylum seekers.

“I wish they could continue the Enterprise, that sort of support for people coming here. You have to teach them about starting anew in a new culture “If you put them in one house by themselves, it’s a disaster.”

Once more proud to uphold the law he loves

By CASEY NEILL AZIZ Ahmadi wants to uphold the law and order he values so much in his new home.

The Afghan-born 18-year-old is completing VCAL Year 12 and Certificate III in Business at Dandenong’s Chisholm TAFE. He would like to do a Certificate IV in Justice and has a career in the police force in his sights.

“In this country, they’re very good with their laws. Everyone is obeying the rules. They have very good rules,” he said.

“It’s not like Afghanistan or Pakistan - they take bribes.

“I like the rules and regulation and the laws here.”

Aziz and his family fled Afghanistan for Pakistan when he was two years old.

“In 2012, my father told me to go from Pakistan because there was not a good situation,” he said.

He left the war-ravaged region for

Thailand, then Indonesia.

“I was there months in Indonesia and then I talked to a people smuggler and I came to Australia,” he said.

He spent up to 10 hours crouching in a truck filled with 30 other people just to reach the boat that would take him to his new life.

They landed on Christmas Island, where he spent a few weeks before being transferred to Perth Immigration Detention Centre.

“I was there about two and a half months. Then we were transferred to Melbourne,” he said.

“We were living in Sunshine. We were living with guardians.”

Aziz was granted a Permanent Residency Visa and transferred to the Centre For Multicultural Youth (CMY) in Dandenong.

“We were with them six or seven months and then the government stopped their funding,” he said.

“We went to another organisation named Life Without Barriers.

“When we were with CMY we had

lots of facilities. We were only paying $300 for the rent of the house.

“We don’t pay for the bills, they were paying our school fees and they were paying for our mykis ...

“When the government stopped funding them we found it hard.”

He moved to Doveton last December with other students, and enjoys having Dandenong’s Afghan Bazaar on his doorstep.

“If you are new in Australia it’s really hard to settle in because we don’t know how to use the transport or we don’t know how to go and shop,” he said.

His uncle also made the voyage from Pakistan to Australia, and lives in Cranbourne North.

“We share our stories and we share what’s going on in the home country,” he said.

Aziz misses his parents.

“But they are really happy that I’m here,” he said.

“I don’t want to go back. I want to settle here.”

He received a Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation scholarship so he could continue his studies.

“I didn’t have $1000 to pay fees,” he said.

“I’m very thankful that they gave me such an opportunity.”

He’s now studying five days a week and looking for part-time work.

The not-for-profit Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation awarded its first scholarships in 2007.

Foundation executive officer Kate Hulusi said the aim was to help disadvantaged students enter vocational education and graduate with a trade or skill.

The foundation relies solely on donations and all funds raised are distributed to students.

“Anyone can be in a situation they didn’t plan to be,” Ms Hulusi said.

“It doesn’t mean they’re not academically gifted.

“Some have gone on to win state and federal awards.”

Aziz Ahmadi has set his sights on a police force career. 125626 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS The scholarships can cover course fees, material fees, travel costs or all three and provide students with a pathway. Donations to the foundation are tax deductible.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Harry’s winning bid for best auctioneer

By NARELLE COULTER SPRINGVALE real estate agent Harry Li has brought down the hammer on one of real estate’s most prestigious titles - that of REIV senior Victorian auctioneer of the year.

Mr Li fought off stiff competition to win the top title in August.

In a competition usually dominated by inner city agents, Mr Li broke through to demonstrate the high calibre of auctioneering talent on offer in the south east.

Mr Li and six other contestants inspected a 1950s, two-bedroom weatherboard house and then had just hours to prepare for a mock auction before an audience of judges and real estate peers.

Judges said Mr Li’s auction was “consistent” and “engaging”.

Mr Li laughingly admits to constant practising in front of the mirror during his early days learning the art of conducting a skillful auction.

“Practise in the mirror certainly helps, but I also sought out good auctioneers as part of my training. I would go to auctions being conducted by auctioneers with a good reputation on Saturdays just to watch and pick up techniques and tips.”

Mr Li said confidence, but not arrogance, was the key to being a good

auctioneer. Empathy also helps generate bids and put people at ease in what is often a very stressful situation.

“It is those auctions where bids are struggling that show whether you are a good auctioneer. That’s where the craft comes in.”

His most memorable auction to date was bringing down the hammer on the sale of a childcare centre owned by the City of Greater Dandenong in Springvale. With a reserve of $1.5 million, heated bidding between two interested parties saw the sale price rocket to $2.1 million.

Mr Li said auctions were becoming increasingly popular among Springvale vendors, with more than 50 per cent of sales now going to auction.

He hopes winning the prestigious REIV title will help elevate his profile within the very competitive real estate industry and also give vendors confidence that the sale of their most important asset is in good hands.

He will be presented with his gong as Victoria’s top auctioneer at an awards night in October, before heading to New Zealand to compete against winners from other states.

A special Brand of defence Francesca Brand gets a big kick out of playing soccer. 125789 Pictures: JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER OPPOSING state strikers will have to get past Haileybury’s rock-solid defender Francesca Brand if they want to succeed.

The 12-year-old phenomenon from Black Rock, who studies at Haileybury’s Newlands campus, has stormed

into the School Sport Victoria 12-andunder soccer team after starring in the tryouts and for her local Chelsea team.

After struggling with injuries in previous years, Brand was able to give the tryouts her full capability this year and she excelled.

“I had to go through a certain amount of trials and then they choose

Haileybury’s Francesca Brand hopes to defend School Sport Victoria’s gold-medal chances at the upcoming national schoolgirl’s soccer championships. 125789

an amount they want to take through until the last trial when they pick the final 14,” Brand said.

“It was a big sigh of relief when I made it - a couple of the other times I had trialled I was injured and wasn’t playing at my very best.

“Made it through a couple of rounds but then was knocked out so I was pretty upset, but this time I kept training and just got there so that was pretty good.”

The wily defender/right wing was drawn to the position naturally, but admits her dad’s guidance also helped steer her towards the back-half of the ground.

“I’m a defender, but I can also play a bit of a wing on the right - central back and right defence,” Brand said.

“I think I just fell naturally to the spot - I’ve always really played defence and my dad said you always get further as a defender as no one wants to be a defender.

“So I thought I love playing defence… I’ll stick with it and can just improve and improve.”

Heading off to Bendigo for the championships, Brand hopes to get a few wins under the belt and hopefully

bring home a medal to cap off her Victorian debut.

After the championships its back to playing at Chelsea - in both her boy’s and girl’s teams - she loves the challenge of beating the boys at their own game.

“I play in a boy’s team - it definitely improves my soccer as it’s a bit more intense and the trainings are more serious,” Brand said.

“There’s still fun but you’re always trying to learn and get better… you’re much strongly physically too.”

Hopes for the future are as focused as her defending - she wants to get across to America to play for her beloved Boston Breakers or represent an international team in years to come.

Brand wanted to thank her coach Rob Giabardo and her family for helping develop her soccer skills and for their support.

School Sport Australia will host the under-12 soccer competition at Bendigo’s Epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve from 14 to 19 September.

Lady Toys with the field

By JASON ADAMS A BREAKTHROUGH win over the distance was only a matter of time for promising stayer Lady Toy, and last Thursday proved to be her night.

The Norma Gost trained chaser showcased her slow start and run-on racing style by settling near last in the early stages, before unleashing her trademark finishing burst to run down her rivals in a smart 42.19.

The win was not only her first over 715m at Sandown park but her first over the staying trip.

Lady Toy has always taken a liking to Sandown Park having claimed

her maiden win at the venue, she then went on to win her next two at the track and both from last place.

At just over two-years-of-age, Lady Toy has already amassed $56,423 in prize money and is likely to be heading for the Group 3 Top Cat Video Cup at The Meadows, with a cool $25,000 first prize up for grabs.

Thursday night is Man’s Night at Sandown Park, with plenty of manlike activities including beer tasting, blackjack and golf just to name a few. The club aims to raise in excess of $20,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia - details at www.sandowngreyhounds.com.au.

Trailing at half-time 1719, the Burra stormed out

of the blocks in the second half to push ahead a fourgoal lead as goalers Chloe Plumb and Laura Agius had the ball on a string.

Their 13-goal thirdterm proved the difference as Berwick could not fight back to bridge the gap.

Keysborough has earned

a shot at ladder-leading Narre Warren next week to decide the first grand finalist in Casey Cardinia B-Grade netball.

Keysborough’s BGrade netball team is the only remaining Burras’ team in the league, with the football teams and

the C-Grade women both knocked out last week at the end of the home and away season.

The Burras’ netball teams will join the Southern Football League netball competitions in 2015 following the club’s move from Casey Cardinia.

SPORT TAC CUP - elimination final 2

Aaron Wilson admires his falling gosling effort against Western Jets.

Bright Ray of hope JARROD POTTER UNDERDOGGING their way into the TAC Cup semi-finals, Dandenong Stingrays shocked the league knocking off the Western Jets by 15 points.

Odds were heavily on Western’s side, following its Stingray victory earlier this month.

Dandenong kicked away strongly in the first term to force Western to go to its running players - with the likes of Connor Menadue, Liam McMahon and Liam Duggan burning holes in the Stingrays midfield as they put on the afterburners.

The Rays had more in their tank though - raising the tempo through the third term to kick away as tall targets Jacob Weitering and Aaron Wilson took the game by the horns.

Hard and tough football suited the Stingrays with a fleet of midfielders and quick defenders - such as Alex Harnett, Sam Guerts, Dan Moloney and Bailey Rice - who fought right up to the Western goal line to stop any chance of a comeback.

AIS-AFL pair Daniel Capiron and Tom Lamb found their role in the game to kick the first two of the final term.

Western would return fire to get within three points, but Dandenong’s resolve remained in the hot conditions.

Weitering was called upon once again - to finish the job and book Dandenong’s place in the next round - as he took a crucial inside-50 grab with the clock ticking down.

His final goal of the afternoon put to

bed any Western hopes of further finals as Dandenong claimed a 13.8 (86) to 10.11(71) triumph.

Stingrays coach Craig Black said he was thrilled with the boys’ premium performance and the second final it grants them.

It was just fantastic,” Black said.

“We always say if the effort is there, the result will come, and I thought our effort was there for four-quarters and we’re lucky enough today (Sunday) to win… really excited about the opportunity of

playing two finals.”

The coach praised his midfielders and defenders for the rebound intensity and ability to stop the ball deep in defence.

“I thought Ricey (Bailey Rice) that last quarter… that mark he took… and our mids really worked back and helped the defence… we were able to run it out as well so it’s a credit to the boys,” Black said.

Dandenong will face Geelong Falcons in the semi-finals this Sunday at VISY Park from 2pm.

A tear-away performance through midfield from Alex Harnett impressed the VISY Park crowd. 126571

Ryan Bastinac’s 100th AFL game came up quickly for the fifthyear North Melbourne midfielder. 126353 Picture: NMFC.COM.AU

Top form at 100

By JARROD POTTER FORMER Dandenong Stingrays co-captain Ryan Bastinac, 23, originally from Narre Warren, ran onto Adelaide Oval for his 100th AFL match last Saturday as his Kangaroos managed to halt the fast-starting Crows and secure the wily midfielder a fitting victory.

Since his debut in 2010, Bastinac is amazed at how rapidly the first centenary milestone of his career was notched.

“It was really good - came around pretty quickly,” Bastinac said.

“Just feels like yesterday since I got drafted, so to notch up 100 games is something I’ll look back on... it’s a great achievement to have done it at such a young age.”

Bastinac’s pair of milestone majors helped the Kangaroos seal up sixth spot on the AFL ladder with the seven-point win.

“We knew it was going to be a big game coming up against the Crows and their season was on the line... they were playing for a finals spot as well, so it was good to have a big game like that before the finals series,” Bastinac said.

“It was a good lead in to what we’ll face in a couple of weeks’ time... everyone dug deep to get the win which was fantastic.

“It’s always nice to snag a few (goals) - I like kicking a goal or two so it was really good in my big 100th... I loved it.”

Bastinac hopes his second finals’ campaign runs a bit longer and a lot less painfully than his first in 2012 when the Kangaroos were pummelled by West Coast in a 96-point elimination-final defeat.

“Hopefully a lot different as 2012 was quite embarrassing,” Bastinac said.

“All the boys - whoever played in it - all remember that day and certainly don’t want it to happen again... we can’t wait to be back in the finals - as that’s where we think we belong.

“To get another crack at it is going to be great and all the boys will be up for it that’s for sure.”

He admits his season has featured its ups-and-downs, but importantly is stringing together some good form towards the important end of the year.

“It’s been a different type of year for me probably not as well as I would have liked it,” he said.

“In the last few weeks I’ve found some form which is good you want to be finding your form at the later part of the year leading into the most important part.

“It’s good to get a few good games together leading into finals, but overall the start of the year was pretty inconsistent.

“A few good games and a few poor games so I’m just trying to play some consistent footy now and play a good finals’ series.”

Aris give it their best

Bulls in the mix

By JARROD POTTER

South Springvale rising star goalkeeper Jordan Gifkins celebrates the side’s 9-8 penalty shootout victory Picture: JARROD POTTER over St Albans Saints. 124076 we have treated every match like a cup final… we’ll treat this one the same.

“We’ll go in with the same mentality and if it comes our way, that’s great, but if it doesn’t, that’s fantastic as well.”

Lambropoulos was weighing up whether dynamo midfielder/striker Ricky Diaco will start, but confirmed his former Melbourne Victory star will play a big part in the clash.

Another positive is the return of Ali Hameed to the line-up in South Springvale’s 1-1 draw with Mornington.

Most importantly for South Springvale, the community remains proud of its amazing achievement no matter what the result.

“If you look at the way we’re structured - A League, NPL, NPL1, State League 1 - considering we’re a fourth division club we know who we are and where we’re from,” Lambropoulos said.

“To achieve what we have has been massive for the club juniors… walking around with a bit of a smile on the face.

“We are who we are and if this is the end - so be it - but we’re not go-

ing to shy away from it, we’re going to give it our best shot.”

The final will be played at 5pm on Sunday night at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park - after the Journal has gone to print - for results of South Springvale’s Dockerty Cup final, click over to the Dandenong Journal website www.dandenong. starcommunity.com.au.

South Springvale’s busy winter season continues in its FFA Cup round-of-16 battle on Tuesday 23 September, when the Aris’ boys head to Queensland to face NPLQ team Palm Beach Sharks.

BIG V - AWARDS

By JARROD POTTER

TWO Greater Dandenong area teams contested the South-East Juniors grand finals, held across the region yesterday (Sunday).

Noble Park had a pair of teams in the final showdown.

The top-age Bulls featured in the big showdown at 3pm - the final match of junior football in the Premier-1 grand final at Casey Fields’ VFL ground.

Noble Park had to undo its poor semifinal form against Beaconsfield last week when the Bulls triumphed 6.5 (41) over Berwick 5.9 (39) in the preliminary final.

Noble Park’s other chance at premiership glory was on at Narre North Reserve from 11am as the under-13 Division-2 players took on Narre Warren.

The Bulls’ under-12 3 team was knocked off by Hampton Park 8.8 (56) to 1.0 (6) last Sunday to end Noble Park’s third premiership chance.

Parkmore’s sole remaining premiership chance was quashed in under-14’s Division 3 as Pakenham belted the Pirates 16.5 (101 to 6.6 (42).

For all the last minute and up-to-date results and reports from the grand finals, click over to the Dandenong Journal’s website dandenong.starcommunity.com.au on Monday morning.

Most Valuable Player.

Miraflores averaged 19.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and a league leading 4.7 assists per game in his first season as a Cougar.

Joining him in the All Star nominations are coach Nathan Vogt and Kevin Benn, who is listed as an All Star Centre nominee.

Division-2 Women also re-

ceived a nominee as Tamara Booth was shortlisted as one of the Rising Star candidates following a breakout season averaging 7.4 points and 7.4 rebounds in her debut year.

Rounding out the nominations were a few of the Youth League 2 Men’s championship-winning team - Jamal Talo received nods for All Star Guard, Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year,

Matthew Walker as All Star Centre also secured a spot in the running, while Staci Richardson swept the nominations - earning recognition for All Star Forward, Defensive Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player.

Championship winning coach Craig Smethurst also received a nomination as Coach of the Year in the division.

THE next challenge was met proudly by South Springvale it’s in inaugural Dockerty Cup final on Sunday night.

The miracle run of the Aris’ contingent earned the Warner Reserve residents a ticket into the elimination soccer tournament final following an heroic 9-8 penalty shootout victory over St Albans Saints on July 16.

St Albans was the third NPL side the Aris had defeated after knocking over Pascoe Vale and Hume City in earlier rounds.

When asked about his side’s chances in the final on Thursday, South Springvale coach Bill Lambropoulos was upbeat about their prospects.

“Everyone is available, everyone is keen and everyone is eager, so the decision will be pretty hard for me,” Lambropoulos said.

“I’m a bit anxious about it all big, big moment for the club and we’re going to give it our best shot.

“I said to the guys at training on Tuesday - it doesn’t matter what happens on the day, they need to enjoy the day - soccer is a game of enjoyment not misery.

“It’s a fantastic achievement and I don’t want them to feel threatened - even if the result doesn’t go their way we’re still very proud of them all.”

Lambropoulos knows his side comes in as underdogs once again, but the Aris boys relish the tough challenges and treat every win as a season-defining triumph.

“I’ve watched them twice - it’s going to be a very, very hard game - we know we’re the underdogs and know that from the outset,” Lambropoulos said.

“We know every game in this competition is going to be tough…
