■ Troubled lunar festival bounces back after closure threat...

Bad moon rising GREATER Dandenong Council has stepped in to save Springvale’s drawcard Lunar New Year street festival after organisers threatened to close it down.

Springvale Asian Business Association has traditionally run the annual event which draws up to 90,000 visitors.

It had threatened to withdraw after being issued with a council infringement notice at January’s celebration.

It also claimed it needed more council funding to continue staging next year’s event.

SABA spokesman Stan Chang said a street seller had been “unreasonably” issued with an infringement notice for selling food after the festival’s permitted opening hours this year.

“Closing down a festival is not like an on-off switch,” Mr Chang said.

“If you’re in the process of closing down and someone approaches a stall and wants to buy something, I don’t think any stallholder would say no.

“From the enforcement officer’s point of view, they see it as a breach of permit. We see that as totally unreasonable.”

After negotiations, the council withdrew the infringement notice and replaced it with a warning, Mr Chang said.

“Eventually it came down to a very good result and that’s been resolved. We gave them a way out. Basically, they took up that option.”

The council and SABA have since negotiated a “new stronger

working relationship” for the festival – which had been a lossmaker in the past two years, Mr Chang said.

“It’s getting harder to run larger events. It costs between $100,000 and $120,000 for us to stage it.

“SABA is still the key community group. Both parties are happy with the arrangement.”

Mayor Jim Memeti said the council would hire a full-time professional event organiser to run the 2015 event, budgeting up to a $50,000 spend.

This includes the council maintaining its $25,000 sponsorship.

“The profit or loss of the festival will be borne by the council,” Cr Memeti said.

“There’s a chance for us to turn a profit – so many stallholders will want to be part of it, and the council can get major sponsors.

“We’ve had SABA manage the event since it started but they’re part-time people with full-time jobs.”

The council’s acting community services director Lynette While said the festival was an important event in Greater Dandenong’s calendar.

“The benefits of this event are significant to both local traders and to raising the profile of the city and showcasing it to the broader world,” she said. “(The) council will work together with SABA to proactively review and evaluate the event after February 2015 with a view to ensuring its continued success.”

They’re grand for the final FROM before the bounce to the final celebrations, footy fans can watch all the AFL Grand Final action in Dandenong’s Civic Square.

The footy festivities are part of the Greater Dandenong Children’s Festival and start on Friday 26 September with Footy on Parade from noon to 2pm.

Children are invited to wear their their favourite footy colours and take part in themed activities.

Fans can then bring their chairs, blankets and nibbles to watch the Grand Final on the square’s big screen on Saturday. The match starts at 2pm.

Mayor Jim Memeti, front, and Peter Dye from the Dandenong Stingrays, rear, got into the Grand Final spirit early last week with Dandenong Primary School students Hawa, Fozarn, Edris, Isaiatt, Jelena and Zana. 127622 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Security the key to our safety

RSL exit danger fears

By CASEY NEILL NOBLE Park RSL’s president fears traffic chaos on Heatherton Road could soon kill.

John Meehan said Dandenong line train services added in July were increasing the amount of time nearby boomgates were down and causing traffic to bank up past the RSL. Councillor Roz Blades raised similar concerns in July, and Mr Meehan chose to speak out because he was unhappy that Transport Minister Terry Mulder had not taken them on board.

“I’m really worried that somebody’s going to get killed there soon,” he said.

“It’s been a problem a long time now, and building and building.

“It’s a danger - getting out onto Heatherton Road is a danger.

Mr Meehan said there was no keep clear sign outside the premises so traffic blocked the entrance and exit every day.

“I see our people taking a threat to their life every time they leave our RSL,” he said.

“I’m quite concerned that someone coming out of our car park is going to be T-boned and it’s going to be a hell of a whack.”

He’s written to City of Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti and Mr Mulder to express his concerns but has not yet received a reply.

“Sometimes you can sit there for five our eight minutes at the exit to the car park trying to get out,” he said.

“I feel threatened for myself but it’s all my members that I’m worried about.

“I’m surprised there hasn’t been one of our members killed there.”

Mr Meehan’s comments followed Councillor Roz Blades’s concerns in the Journal on 7 July that new train services on the Dandenong rail line would bring traffic to a standstill.

“It’s bloody shocking news,” she said.

“What about emergency vehicles?

How are they going to cope?”

On 21 July the Journal published a response from Mr Mulder that labelled Cr Blades “seriously misinformed”.

“Unlike Cr Blades, the government wants to make it easier for motorists, rail users and small business owners to move around,” he said.

Mr Meehan said he was “very upset”

by Mr Mulder’s comments.

“She was there out of her concern for her local constituents,” he said.

“The minister sort of put her case down.

“We fully support the outstanding efforts of Cr Blades in bringing this situation to the public’s attention and certainly hope the State Government place her sound words into public action.”

Mayoral vote would take power to the people

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS MAYOR-ASPIRANT John Kelly has said “it’s time” that Greater Dandenong’s mayoral election was decided by the electorate.

Cr Kelly is among the field of four councillors which also includes Peter Brown, Youhorn Chea and Sean O’Reilly who have announced their pitch for mayor in 2014-'15. It will be decided by a majority vote of fellow councillors.

“Perhaps it’s time for the community to elect the mayor and follow other cities like Melbourne and Geelong,” Cr Kelly said.

“Whether the mayor is elected for four years or two years each, there’s options.

“But that might be the better thing to do.”

During his 20-plus year stint as councillor, Cr Kelly has been elected as mayor once on the traditionally ALP dominated council - while he has watched others serve up to three mayoral terms in the past 13 years.

In 2007, several Labor member councillors defied party rules to vote Cr Kelly in as a non-Labor mayor.

“That’s where (ALP opposition leader) Daniel Andrews needs to step in and give a direction.

“He’s talked about reducing council rates, which I think is a bit of a furphy.

“One of the great things he could do for local government is to let people in the party elect who they want to.”

Cr Brown, who was mayor in 200506, said his hand was up for mayor “as far as it will go”.

Among his personal goals for next year was to lobby the state government for the “undergrounding” of one of Noble Park’s level crossings, particularly either Heatherton or Chandler roads.

He would also push for the council to convert open space opposite Metro 3175 housing estate in Heatherton Road, Dandenong, into a landscaped park “gateway”.

Cr Chea said he wanted to try for a fourth term as mayor but “I’m not sure about the numbers”.

He said he wanted to fast-track the Springvale library redevelopment and town hall refurbishment.

He said the project could start as

“Pushbike riders and pedestrians don’t have the safety features around them that car drivers do,” he said.

PEDESTRIANS and cyclists need to take extra care on the roads to stay safe, say local police.

Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts said vulnerable road users were “overly involved in trauma” and they

soon as next year using proceeds from the sale of the council’s former depot site in View Road, Springvale.

The project’s construction had been scheduled to start in 2017.

Cr O’Reilly, a first-term councillor who has yet to be crowned mayor, said he would seek outside funds for the project as well as for Dandenong Market’s revamp and facilities for Keysborough’s growing residential estates.

He said “ensuring council works as a team” was his top focus if he is elected as mayor.

“Sometimes tough decisions need to be made and these should be explained directly without fluffing around.

“People expect council to make decisions not just for a vocal minority but on behalf of all residents.”

GREATER Dandenong has the highest vehicle vandalism bill in the state, new RACV figures show.

Insurance data revealed 23 malicious damage incidents in the municipality between 1 January and 31 December last year, with payouts totalling $99,532.

Greater Dandenong had the fifth highest number of incidents in the state.

Neighbouring Casey topping the tally with 36, but its damage bill was lower at $95,578.

The incidents included vandals breaking into vehicles, smashing windows, keying or scratching and denting bonnets or car roofs.

RACV insurance general manager Paul Northey said it could be difficult to stop a determined vandal, but motorists could take steps to protect their vehicle.

“One of the best preventative steps to protect your vehicle is to park off the street in a secure garage but if you have to park on the street, do so in a well-lit, busy location,” he said.

Mr Northey said global positioning system (GPS) devices were growing in popularity and were a lucrative target for thieves.

“Leaving your GPS holder fixed to the windscreen or iPod charger plugged in is like leaving your wallet on the dashboard,” he said.

“Always remove the GPS from display, as well as the support bracket and suction pads if possible.”

He said data showed that most attacks occurred between 6am and noon.

“Many people assume night is the danger time for damage to be inflicted but the evidence shows that vandals can strike at any time, so we encourage motorists to identify safe places to park at all times,” he said.

“Take your valuables and accessories out of the car, make sure your windows are up and lock your vehicle.”

Super sweet bun treat EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THE Journal doesn't usually feature an international franchise but PappaRoti’s coffee buns came highly recommended.

The light buttery buns - with the texture of a doughnut but with a coffee-flavoured outer crust - have been a worldwide hit.

The Malaysian-based chain first wafted its coffee and butter baked aromas into Springvale three years ago.

It’s the only place to savour such buns in Melbourne’s south-east.

Proprietor Michael Wu had never owned a food outlet before but trusted

Sam Ang with the finished product. 127541 this popular Asian brand would translate well into Springvale’s shopping precinct.

A coffee bun served with organic coffee 127541 Picture: STEWART Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS CHAMBERS

“It was among the first in Victoria but I knew PappaRoti is popular all around the world.”

Manager Sam Ang said up to 200 of these crispy cakes are served daily, usually with a scoop of ice cream on

top. The buns’ dough, which is standardised across the franchise’s Arabic and Asian stores, is imported, Mr Ang said.

On the premises, it is defrosted, coated with a coffee-flavoured paste and baked for 20 minutes - at 180C on top and 200C on the bottom.

Customers can wash it down with the cafe's Malaysian-style organic coffee or tea - super-sweetened with condensed milk.

Our resident taster summed them up as similar to a popular doughnut chain’s products.

“Sweet” - he told the Journal. So sweet that he couldn’t extend himself to more than two in a sitting.

PappaRoti is at Shop 29b Buckingham Avenue, Springvale.

LOOKING BACK "If I do, will you promise to try it?"

"I solemnly promise to try it.”

"That’s settled then,” replied the lady, who went at once, slipped a mustard plaster into a envelope, and sent it post haste to the sufferer. The old-fashioned remedy worked like magic and completely cured the minister.

When, however, this plaster was removed from the distinguished gentleman’s chest he was horror-struck to find “Votes for Women” labelled thereon.

50 years ago 23 September 1964 This Thief Was Cool.

A cool shoplifter picked up two automatic fry pans valued at £29 from a display counter in a Pakenham store, stepped into his green car and drove off.

He bought and paid for a transistor radio

set, but when a salesgirl went to another part of the store of Pakenham Timber and Hardware Co he snatched up two boxes containing the fry pans. Det. Reg Starr, of Dandenong C.I.B., and First Const. W.J. Johnson of Pakenham, are investigating.

The four passengers and pilot, all from Fitzroy, were taken to the Alfred Hospital and Monash Medical Centre. All were reported in a stable condition by Friday.

A certain Cabinet Minister very much in the public eye, was recently attacked with a bad cold, which left his voice feeble and his throat and chest weak. In spite of the best medical treatment he was unable to shake its ill effects.

A few days ago he was relating the woes of his uncomfortable condition to a sympathetic lady friend, who at once exclaimed, “believe me, the only way to cure you is a mustard plaster."

"Do you really think so!” replied the right honourable gentleman. “Well I wish you would send me one, then!”

Site owner Nick Cojo from Cojo Investments said he was pleased to see the business move back in.

“Having a tenant like QEP makes life a lot easier,” he said.

“I do love my properties. I treat my properties like I treat my children - as a part of the family.”

National operations manager Sam Laverty was in the boardroom with Mr Maclaren on the night of the fire when a cleaner approached them.

Firefighters battle the blaze.

“They only work Thursday nights, and came up and said ‘the guys out the back said there’s a fire and I’ve got to leave the building’,” he said.

“The way she said it was like it was annoying that she had to leave the building, rather than ‘fire fire fire!’.

“We walked out and into the racking to see out the back.

“There was no noise. It was all silent.

“There was black smoke billowing over the racking, into the roof.”

“It seems like five years ago now,” Mr Laverty said.

FLOORING company QEP Australia hasn’t just survived the 12 months since its Dandenong South factory burnt to the ground - it’s thrived.

Managing director Bruce Maclaren was in the Dunlopillo Drive factory’s office when the flames took hold in the warehouse about 6pm on 19 September last year.

The “orange wall of fire” could have turned deadly had it happened three hours earlier, before the company’s 50 staff clocked off.

“The pace that I saw the fire take hold and literally level the place to the ground, I hate to think about what might have happened,” Mr Maclaren said.

But long gone are the charred remains and a state-of-the-art factory has taken its place.

“There’s a few things that were done differently but, effectively, it’s the same space,” Mr Maclaren said.

“It’s been built to the latest building standards.

“This building wasn’t sprinkled when we had the fire because when it was built it wasn’t a requirement.

“We’ve now got the world’s biggest water tank out the front.”

Construction started in March and was finished by the end of July and the business has staggered its return from a temporary home in Keysborough over 10 weeks.

All but two pre-fire employees remain on board.

“We’ve just continued trading in the normal manner and business has actually continued to grow and develop, which is good,” Mr Maclaren said.

Kinder is all grown up BILBUNGRA Kindergarten in Keysborough celebrated its 40th birthday this month.

Lyndhurst MP Martin Pakula was among the guests at the party on Saturday 13 September, which included cake, games and afternoon tea.

Teacher Rebecca Angus said the kinder had been on the same Filer Road site for its four decades.

“We were happy to see past and present families as well as staff,” she said.

“We celebrated with egg and spoon races, balloon races and even some of the grown-

ups joined in that fun.

“We also had a birthday cake donated by one of the families.”

Photos from previous anniversary celebrations were on display.

“We enjoyed seeing what was the same in the photos and what’s changed,” Ms Angus said.

The kinder provides three and four-year-old groups and has places available for next year.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… A WOMAN wasn’t afraid to critique a Dandenong magistrate last week when they adjourned her hopes to fight her charges to another day.

“This is just a mention list. We can’t hear a contest today,” the magistrate said.

The accused demanded: “What’s your name, Your Honour? I’ll have to file a complaint about you.”

ANYONE wanting their own cricket ground might find one up for grabs at the north-east edge of Greater Dandenong.

The Journal tried to find out which council managed the Police Paddocks reserve ground on Brady Road, Endeavour Hills.

City of Greater Dandenong told us the reserve was Casey’s, Casey said it was City of Knox territory and a neighbouring cricket club said it was Greater Dandenong’s. It was enough to put one reporter into quite a spin.

“BUT how are we going to locate him?”

It seemed a good question from an officer behind the counter at Dandenong Police Station last week as a man demanded they lay charges “for what he did to me”.

The officer had asked for a name, an address, a car registration...

“No. I will identify him,” the man pledged.

A POLICE officer didn’t pull any punches when a man approached the Dandenong Police Station counter last week to say he had left his mobile phone on a train.

The officer advised the man to contact Metro.

“You take some steps to find your own property,” he said.

“Police aren’t going to do it for you. Use a bit of your own initiative.”

FIREFIGHTERS paid tribute to the late Journal reporter Marg Stork at their 120th annual Dandenong Fire Brigade dinner on 13 September.

“I believe that God wanted a good reporter upstairs, because the rest of them weren’t too good,” First Lieutenant Joe Aitken said.

“I don’t think I’ve been to a dinner that Marg hasn’t attended in 45 years,” he said.

THE Journal was a bit perplexed as to how Dandenong Fire Brigade operations officer Paul Carrigg got “Paul Chilton” and “Chung Wai” confused during award presentations on Saturday night.

He called Paul to the front before correcting himself and asking Chung to come forward.

“I should have worn my glasses - sit down, relax, Paul,” he said.

BRIGADE First Lieutenant Joe Aitken apologised to the audience for turning his back on them during a medal presentation.

“Sorry about the back,” he said.

Paul Carrigg quipped: “That’s the best bit!” to laughter from the crowd.

THERE seems to be a friendly rivalry between the Dandenong and Springvale fire brigades.

Paul Carrigg, presenting Chung Wai with his five-year service medal, commented that he’d

started with Springvale in 2003 and transferred to Dandenong in 2012. “So we had to completely retrain him!

PAUL Carrigg called “The Station Comedian” Stuart Radley up to the stage.

“There’s actually no award for you, but the table asked if we could get rid of you for a little while,” he said.

“I KNOW I’m a New South Welshman but I’m not an octopus!”

NSW Fire Brigade chief superintendent Rob McNeil was a little overwhelmed with gifts from Dandenong Fire Brigade to acknowledge his crew’s time at the station during the Hazelwood mine fire.

BRIGADE members performed a stirring rendition of You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling when Don Wilkie stepped up to collect a Commendation Award.

We’re not sure what The Righteous Brothers hit has to do with his work piloting a helicopter during the Hazelwood mine fire.

Addict’s drug house bail

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AN ICE addict accused of stealing cars in Dandenong and being involved in police pursuits has been bailed to live in a house - where drug paraphernalia was found two weeks ago.

Ashley Sullivan, who had been in custody for the previous seven days, was granted bail at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday on the condition that he remained at the Pakenham residence.

Other conditions included a night curfew, daily reporting to police, a ban on drug use and undergoing treatment for ice

use under a CREDIT bail program. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he’d grant bail due to Sullivan’s young age, his lack of prior convictions, available drug treatment and his offending being not likely to lead to an immediate jail term.

“Despite the tattoos on your neck, I get the impression that you’re a bright and capable person. You’ve just got sucked into this world.”

Police accused Sullivan of stealing four cars from car yards and a business car park in Dandenong, Berwick and Narre Warren as well as four petrol drive-offs in

July and August. He was allegedly twice pursued in stolen cars by police.

The pursuits were called off due to a risk to public safety - during one, Sullivan allegedly reached a speed of 150km/h in an 80km/h zone on Princes Highway, Hallam, and narrowly missing other cars as he drove through a red light at the Lonsdale and Foster streets intersection in Dandenong.

It is alleged that one of those cars was found on fire in the early hours of the next day in a Lyndhurst residential street.

Police also argued that Sullivan, being

unemployed, was at risk of re-offending to fund his ice drug habit of about 0.25 grams a day.

The applicant had also allegedly failed to appear for three previous matters at court while on bail in the past year.

Police allegedly arrested Sullivan with a bag of amphetamines on him at the Rachael Court house on 9 September.

Police say two of the stolen cars and other allegedly stolen property were also found.

Sullivan was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 7 October.

Life in the bike lane

By CASEY NEILL ALMOST 300 Greater Dandenong teens are now pedalling their way around the municipality.

Learn, Earn and Turn, a subinitiative of Coca-Cola’s The Happiness Cycle, handed out the bikes at Greaves Reserve, Dandenong, last Wednesday, 17 September.

“We’ve done 19 of these programs around the country and this is the second biggest one,” Bicycle Network CEO Craig Richards said.

The day was open to 15 and 16-year-olds and involved them learning about bike safety and physical activity and building their own bike.

“It took them between an hour and two hours. The way they’ve stuck at it has been incredible,” Mr Richards said.

He said the teens also re-

ceived a helmet, lights and lock.

“Transport gives young people great mobility,” he said.

“The most frequent feedback we get is ‘this is incredible’.

They’re absolutely blown away that they get a new bike.

“They’re so appreciative of it.”

He said the bikes would help them spend time with friends and family, and reach school and work.

“We do look for communities who we know have certain challenges,” he said.

“We know that it’s going to have a great benefit for the community.”

Mr Richards said the other key part of the program was tackling physical inactivity.

“If you have a bike it just becomes part of your day,” he said. “You don’t have to join a gym.”

Cops bust drugs laboratory POLICE uncovered a drug lab in an Endeavour Hills home on Sunday.

Greater Dandenong Tasking Unit arrested a 29-year-old man about 6.30am on 14 September during a burglary at a chemical factory on Frankston-Dandenong Road, Dandenong South.

They found a clandestine laboratory when they executed a warrant at his Endeavour Hills address.

He was bailed at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday to reappear at a later date.

Wheels off the wagon

Jake from The Happiness Cycle and Maxim from Keysborough College inspect his new Picture: GARY SISSONS bike. 126641 Teens chosen to help lead the program learnt skills in bike mechanics and assembly, event logistics and more.

Jayden Cheadle, 15, from Dandenong helped other participants to build their bikes.

“It was a really good day,” he

said. “I want do an apprenticeship in carpentry.

“But it’s always good to get some extra skills in other areas.”

VANDALS set fire to a white Holden Commodore wagon in Dandenong South about 4.20am on Friday 12 September.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Lara Murray said they removed mag wheels from the car parked on the South Gippsland Highway before torching it.

A white Holden Commodore sedan was seen leaving the scene.

Sen Const Murray urged witnesses or anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

GIVE US A HAND

Rights QC to launch plan for asylum seeker action PROMINENT barrister Julian Burnside will formally launch Greater Dandenong’s asylum seeker action plan next month.

Councillor Roz Blades said securing the “imprimatur” of Mr Burnside, QC, an outspoken advocate for asylum seekers and their human rights, was a coup.

“I’m just so pleased that

an advocate to the degree of Julian Burnside is supporting Greater Dandenong and the people in our community.”

The council’s push for more federal funding for asylum seeker services is one plank of the three-year action plan. Cr Blades said the document examined the issues facing asylum seekers and

refugees in Greater Dandenong and the people who were helping them.

As part of the plan, the council is setting up an asylum seeker and refugee communities’ advisory committee.

Applications to join the committee close on 3 October.

Zulfiqar Ali is finding his feet as a welder 127649

He’s welded to the role DANDENONG’S Zulfiqar Ali, a welder who hadn’t touched a welding device only a year ago, fits the mould of a model employee, according to his boss.

Mr Ali arrived in Australia by boat as a Pakistani refugee two years ago with about “3 per cent English”.

And he’s not deterred by language barriers.

His employer Russell Moore of AIS Maintenance Services said the important thing is Mr Ali is willing to learn.

The protege has taken up a welding engineering course and quickly picked up the trade’s craft.

Mr Moore, who said he’s had “a lot of bad experience” with recruits, wants to keep Mr Ali on for a possible fabrication apprenticeship.

“He’s the happiest person,” Mr Moore said.

“His quality of welding is exceptional and his attitude is terrific.

“He works hard, sends off money to his family overseas...

I’m not letting him go.”

Mr Ali was helped on his feet by Dandenong settlement agency AMES’s youth program.

The aim of the program is to keep young migrants and refugees in school and help them to get jobs.

The program taught its clients English through an informal classroom, sport, camps and social activities and Mr Ali continues to hone his English at his workplace lunch room.

An AMES-commissioned report found the program gave clients a taste of what children growing up in Australia experi-

ence at school - such as work experience, sport, camps and clubs.

“A lot of kids would have had part time jobs while they’re still at school,” researcher Jan McFeeter said.

“Refugee kids and their families often don’t have the contacts to get part-time jobs, so the program helps them with that.”

The program also gave young people a chance to spend time with other people of their own age, she said.

“We find they are more relaxed and more open and they respond well to very active learning - and to learning by doing.

“When they are in classes with older people we find that young people are less engaged, they’re much quieter.”

Back in class for ex-students FRIENDSHIPS were renewed as more than 600 former students took a stroll down memory lane at a Cleeland Secondary College reunion on Saturday 13 September.

The reunion encompassed the school’s many incarnations from Dandenong Girls’ High School at its founding in 1957, Dandenong North High School, Cleeland High School and, finally, Cleeland Secondary College.

President of the Dandenong High School Ex-students’ Association Greta Jungwirth, who also taught at Cleeland High School, said the turnout far exceeded organisers’ expectations with ex-students coming from all over Victoria and interstate.

She said many people were drawn back to their old school because they were curious to catch up with former peers and teachers.

In her address Ms Jungwirth said secondary school was a formative experience for most people "tied to a time of expanding consciousness, of intense emotional experiences and growing awareness of the world and our place in it. And everything is still possible".

“Friendships and relationships formed can have a lifelong impact and with luck can last a lifetime. I guess that is why you are here today.”

Cleeland Secondary College ceased to exist when it merged with with Dandenong High School and Doveton Secondary College in 2007.

Ex-student association volunteers have been painstakingly sorting and cataloguing archival material from Cleeland and Doveton secondary colleges.

“This reunion has resulted in great part from that activity, and next month

Doveton Technical School will have its reunion,” Ms Jungwirth said.

“Ralf Halder and his team have been responsible for much of the organisation and all of the enthusiasm.

“When you walk around the buildings you will notice areas of sad neglect.

“That is because everything will be demolished as soon as the renovations are finished at the Dandenong Campus.

“The buildings may go, but your memories will remain.”

A DVD documenting the reunion will be available soon with all proceeds donated to the archives committee.

For more pictures from the event go to the Cleeland High Facebook site or the Dandenong Girls High School Facebook site.

A Doveton Secondary College reunion will be held next month.

Lynne Jones, Dores Pitigala, Mary Bishop, Michelle Tomazin, Collette Barlow and Tania Hammond-Ayres all started year 7 in 1981.

More than 600 former students attended the reunion.

Sally Chandler and Lyn Morrow.

Friends reunited Caroline Farah, Leanne Macdonald and Nicole Botriell.

Kids front class

By CASEY NEILL KIDS took control of classrooms at Silverton Primary School for a day.

The Noble Park North school hosted its fourth annual Kids Teaching Kids conference on Friday 12 September.

The 10 participating schools included Wooranna Park Primary School, Dandenong primary and high schools, St Elizabeth’s in Dandenong North, St Peter’s College, Cranbourne, Cranbourne Carlisle, Narre Warren South P-12 College and Maranatha Christian School, Officer.

Silverton teacher Emmanuelle Emile-Blake said it was a very successful and enjoyable event.

“Students from seven of the 10 schools prepared nine workshops to raise awareness about

APPLY FOR YOUR BUSINESS GRANT OF UP TO

a variety of different local and global environmental issues,” she said.

Workshops included the Carbon Cycle, Shark Culling, Seal the Loop, Dolphin Awareness, Introduced Animals, Plastic Not So Fantastic, Dredging in the Great Barrier Reef, Working with Wildlife and Turbidity.

Silverton’s environmental captains Josephine and Drake led an opening ceremony.

“We were entertained by great performances from our school band and students from our Grade 3/4 reality group highlighting the environmental effects of dredging in the Great Barrier Reef,” she said.

“Students and teachers learnt a lot about important environmental issues and had a lot of fun along the way.

“I received many positive comments from visiting students and teachers about our school facilities and programs.

“The DJing run by the Grade 3/4 Reality group at lunch time was a big hit and the envy of many students, who are now on a mission to bring in similar programs to their schools.”

Ms Emile-Blake said the day’s real stars were the students who spent all term planning and preparing their workshops to present to other schools.

“Workshop leaders also played an important role leading visiting students and teachers from one workshop to the next,” she said.

“Altogether it was an enormous team effort and at Silverton we do teamwork brilliantly!”

“I think the facilities and the surroundings do influence the way students feel about what they’re doing.

“We deserve an upgrade and it would be just wonderful.

“We want to maintain modern facilities and provide the best we can for our students, because they deserve it.”

Ms Dyson has been in touch with the Liberal Party’s Mulgrave candidate Robert Davies, who will visit the school next term.

“At this point he has said that he is not able to pledge any money to the college,” she said.

“It’s not the be all and end all to have state-of-the-art facilities, but it certainly does improve the learning environment.”

NOBLE Park Secondary College has a $5 million upgrade within its grasp.

Opposition Leader and Mulgrave MP Daniel Andrews visited the school to announce the funding commitment last Tuesday.

He said that if Labor was successful at the November election, it would provide the cash to upgrade and modernise teaching and learning spaces.

“This major new investment will give students state-of-the art learning facilities so that the school can continue to provide a first-rate education,” he said.

“Noble Park is a fantastic school but urgently needs to be rebuilt and modernised.”

Principal Pam Dyson said the pledge was “excellent news”.

“As a college we feel we’re doing a really great amount for our teaching and learning,” she said.

“We’re really growing the kids.

“But we also need to upgrade facilities.”

Ms Dyson said the school council had formed a sub-committee to create a masterplan.

“We’re in the process of investigating what would be our priorities,” she said.

She said work with consultants, architects, the community and students would follow.

“Our college hasn’t had any other money spent on it, except for our new science centre,” she said.

By CASEY NEILL HOMICIDE Squad detectives hope an information caravan will unlock the mystery of a Springvale man’s death.

They set up the booth in Prior Road, Noble Park, last Thursday - a week after a motorist found Peter Danh’s body in the street about 10.20pm on 11 September.

Witnesses have told police they heard arguing and car doors opening and closing about this time.

Police suspect foul play and would like to speak to anyone who was near the scene in the 20 minutes before the body was discovered, particularly two men seen in a silver Ford sedan in Prior Road. It’s believed they stopped at the scene and performed a U-turn before driving back down Prior Road.

Mr Danh, 36, was last seen in Walsh Street, Noble Park, between 9pm and 10pm.“We’re trying to piece together Peter’s movements in the hope we can get a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding his death," Homicide Squad Inspector Mick Hughes said.

“Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could be crucial to solving this case."

Insp Hughes urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report via www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

NEW HOMES & LAND

ALL SMILES FOR DISPLAY VILLAGE LAUNCH Cranbourne North was awash with clear blue sky, smiling children with painted faces and hungry guests digging into gourmet cheeseburgers as Brown Property Group kicked off its new display village launch campaign on a picture perfect September Saturday afternoon.

The first of three community events set for this spring, the Family Fun Day saw face painters, a jumping castle, and Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob Squarepants on hand to entertain the kids, with the 1090 Burger food truck serving up delicious burgers and cold drinks for guests.

A few rising stars from the local VFL club, Casey Scorpions, were even on hand to hold a handball competition and give away a few free footies to some eager young fans.

Graham Nolan, Brown Property Group marketing manager, said the local community’s response to the new display village was terrific, with surrounding streets packed with cars, people queueing up for their taste of Northcote street food and steady foot traffic through the brand new display homes.

“About 1000 guests rolled in throughout the day and were treated to gourmet cheeseburgers and cold drinks, while free lollipops and balloons kept the kids happy.

Demand was high for all things fun as more than 150 faces were painted and more than 400 photos taken with SpongeBob,” Mr Nolan said.

The new display village is a valuable local resource for homebuyers looking to purchase their ideal new home, with Brown Property Group’s newest community, Highgrove, conveniently located just around the corner in Clyde North.

The display village currently features 15 display homes from a range of local and national builders, including Metricon, Simonds, Carlisle Homes, Premier Homes and East West Homes, with three more

homes due for completion by early 2015.

“Our new display village is purpose-built to showcase all the latest trends, inspiration and cutting-edge new ideas in construction and interior design,” Mr Nolan said.

“It offers a range of options and an opportunity to see and touch all the finishes, fixtures and fittings available to help homebuyers create their dream home.”

Stay tuned for announcements on Brown Property Group’s next Family Fun Day event, from 11am to 2pm, on Saturday, 11 October.

The Brown Property Group Display Village is at the corner of Thompsons and Stoneleigh Roads, Cranbourne North, and is open from 11am to 5pm, seven days a week. For more information about the Highgrove development visit the sales and information centre in Clyde North or call

our friendly sales team on 1800 444 447.

Knitting these parklands and precincts together is a local recreational loop, perfect for walking, running, cycling, or even rollerblading. The thoughtfully considered layout of Highgrove ensures there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle connected to both nature and the community. highgrove.com.au

NEW HOMES & LAND

FALL IN LOVE WITH TREETOPS ON CHURCHILL In the rolling hills of Lysterfield South, a unique lifestyle development is emerging from one of the few remaining land parcels in this highly desirable area - so close to the city but in a world of its own.

Treetops on Churchill offers buyers the opportunity to enjoy eco living at its best, combining space and privacy on parcels of land ranging from over one acre to five, with generous building envelopes and all services provided.

In an idyllic rustic setting adjoining Churchill National Park, Treetops offers some of the best lots in the region with unparalleled views, and a rare chance to experience the semi-rural lifestyle with plenty of room for a horse or two. Close to schools, major shopping centres and within walking distance of the local golf course, your future home is only 4.5kms

from the Monash freeway and 40 minutes from the CBD. Treetops owner and developer Alan Murray is the driving force behind this project.

Alan has many years of experience in land development and is hands-on and passionate about his latest undertaking.

Backed by a highly capable team, Alan is involved in all aspects of the day to day construction of the layout and services on the estate and is a very caring and approachable mentor for prospective land purchasers, personally attending to all inquiries and sales.

Four of the prestige lots at Treetops on Churchill have already sold. Four premium blocks remain, and interest is high.

Contact Alan for an inspection on 0412 343 225.

STAGE 5A RELEASE

LIVE CLOSE TO… EVERYTHING. Officer’s coolest & most convenient estate.

Park Central’s Tribeca release will have your new home just minutes from the proposed cafes, shops and entertainment.

With land now selling from just $180,000, you’ll need to get in quick to see why everyone is buzzing about this latest release.

155 Rix Rd, Officer (MEL. REF: 214, D5)

UNCOMPLICATED LIFESTYLE PROSPECT Way, Officer in the beautiful TimberTop Estate has everything you might need for a relaxed, uncomplicated lifestyle.

With 18 units up for sale, including five overlooking the beautiful ornamental lake and all close to parks, this is something special from the Premier Builders Group.

The units are all three bedrooms and double garage and at 400 square metres, are bigger than what you would normally expect, giving plenty of room for living without a lot of ground maintanence.

Close to the planned shopping centre, medical centre and fitness centre for your convenience the units are in the impressive Timbertop Estate - considered one of the best in the South Eastern growth corridor.

There are nearby schools and it is zoned for Berwick High School.

The units enjoy spectacular views and are close to the future cafe by the lake and

the proposed Lakeside restaurant and just five minutes’ walk from the local winery (all downhill coming home).

In fact one of Timbertop’s best-kept secrets is its views. The stunning views extend over Officer, across the Mountain Ash forested foothill ranges and stretching out to Western Port Bay. The units, which include individual facades, will be offered as a full turnkey pack which means although they are brand-new it will be just like moving into an established house with quartz stone benchtops, dishwasher, remote garage, full landscaping, fencing, driveways and paths.

There will be no progress payments and fixed price contracts with a low deposit and units are priced from $390,000.

If you can imagine yourself going for walks in the parks and then sipping a coffee by the lake, phone Garry Doleschal 0418 990 379 for further information.

NEW HOMES & LAND

SELECT THE VALUE OF A CALMING LIFESTYLE BY THE WATER'S EDGE The Water Edge estate at Narre Warren South allows purchasers to buy into a prestige location from as little as $198,900.

“Land prices have traditionally started around $300,000 in this area,” said Brad Ryan of Harcourts Narre Warren South.

“And resales of established homes also command premium prices.”

According to Brad, part of the reason for this is the reputation of the nearby schools – including Haileybury, St Francis Xavier, and Nossal selective government high school – and the proximity to the freeway, train station, and Berwick village.

“Many people also consider that the Narre Warren South postcode provides them with a superior long term investment compared with property in the less established areas of Clyde and Cranbourne North,” Brad said.

“But the real attraction, in my opinion, is just the feel of the place.”

Standing with Brad on the edge of the Berwick Springs wetland on a sunny spring morning, it’s very hard to disagree. A duck with ducklings in tow glides past us as we look out over the water, and not too far away we can hear the happy sounds of a family playing in the park.

A boutique development of just 80 home sites, Water Edge is located on the north side of Glasscocks Road in Narre Warren South.

More than 60 per cent of the site has been dedicated to wetlands and open space, with many of the home sites featuring absolute front row position overlooking the water.

Befitting its location, Water Edge incorporates a range of environmentally sustainable features including energyefficient street-lighting, recycled water and optimum solar orientation of home sites. A high-speed, fibre-optic network provides

residents with next-generation superfast broadband services.

Water Edge offers buyers a range of surprisingly affordable home sites, including the very popular 14m x 32m lots.

Release 01 at Water Edge has sold out.

Release 02 is currently selling, priced from $198,900.

For more information, call Brad on 1800 THE EDGE (1800 843 334), drop by the land sales office at 1085 Glasscocks Road, between 1pm and 3pm every weekend, or visit www.wateredge.com.au

loves spending quality time with her family and friends.

SUN SHINES ON BUSHFIRE SECTION After our chilly winter, the spring sunshine is a welcome sight.

But with it and the spring rains comes growth in forests and grasslands, including on the outskirts of regional cities and towns, and thoughts turn to preparing for the risk of bushfires.

So it’s vital that homeowners know whether they live in a bushfire prone area - and since 31 July last year, vendors must provide that information in the Section 32.

However, buyers should also conduct their own due diligence to check whether

a property is in a bushfire prone area and buyers’ agents should remind their clients. Bushfire construction standards apply to properties in designated bushfire-prone areas in Victoria.

Homebuyers need to know whether or not they are buying in a bushfire prone area so they can ensure they have a fire plan and that their home and grounds are prepared for the possibility of fire.

The state’s Bushfire Prone Area maps are regularly updated after review.

When they were last reviewed in August 2013

CRANBOURNE

CRANBOURNE EAST

more than 200,000 properties were removed, while about 100,000 were added for the first time, so keeping up to date is vital.

The government has announced revised bushfire safety measures for many new estates in major regional cities and in Melbourne. To find out whether a property is in a bushfire prone area, go to the Victorian Government’s website - www.land.vic.gov. au - where specific addresses can be searched.

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.

Pumped up for a firey night out

By NARELLE COULTER DANDENONG Fire Brigade celebrated 120 years of service to the community at its annual dinner on Saturday 13 September.

The brigade was formed on 8 October 1893 to protect a population of little more than 1000 residents and operated from a small reel house station on the corner of Clow and Cleeland streets.

The first volunteers, who were paid five shillings a year, were issued with little more than a cap and a belt and were summoned to an emergency by a bell.

Those within earshot would make their way to the station, collect the fire hose reel and hastily make their way to the fire.

It wasn’t until 1926 that Dandenong acquired its first motorised pump.

A larger fire station was built in 1910, which was eventually replaced with a brick fire station with a station keeper’s premises in 1930.

Today the brigade boasts 40 staff and 36 volunteers and is eagerly anticipating the completion of a new $13 million state-of-the-art station north of the current station on the Princes Highway.

It is the most active brigade in the state, responding to 2287 calls in 2013-'14.

The 120th dinner was a chance for the brigade to honour some of its most dedicated volunteers.

Stalwart and brigade secretary Mel Chappel was presented with a 30-year service award as well as the VFBV (Volunteer Fire Brigades

Victoria) gold star recognising 30 years of distinguished service (see story on page 55).

Officer in charge Paul Carrigg praised Mr Chappel for his dedication to the CFA saying a 30-year award represented a “very, very big effort”.

“You are there every day of the week looking after the administration side of things.”

Senior station officer Rick Owen was awarded the National Emergency Medal for his role during the Black Saturday bushfires and Don Wilkie received a commendation award for his work during the Morwell mine fire.

Five year service awards were presented to Luke Chilton and Wayne McKeig.

Ten year service awards went to Hayley Logan, Rachel Rendall, Chung Wai, Damien McLean, Stuart Radley and Trevor Sharman.

James Moore, Michael Toogood and Adam Small received 20 year service awards.

National medals for 15 years of outstanding service went to Michael Toogood, James Moore, Richard Hill and Josh Redfern.

Trevor Sharman was named Fire Fighter of the Year and Chung Wai received the staff encouragement award.

Mr Carrigg said while the awards recognised individual effort and dedication, supportive families should not be forgotten.

“These awards are for your families as well.

“It is important you go out and buy a gift for your partners tonight.”

Paul Anderton, James Mears and Floyd Backhausen enjoy the 120th dinner.

Firefighting knows no borders

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG Fire Brigade strengthened ties with its New South Wales counterparts last week.

Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Chief Superintendent and Chief of Staff Mal Connellan visited the 10 Victorian fire stations where his crews were deployed during the Hazelwood mine fire earlier this year.

Dandenong was among the stations where Mr Connellan presented a plaque in recognition of a strengthening relationship between the fire services to work together to protect lives and properties across the country.

Dandenong Fire Brigade operations officer Paul Carrigg present-

ed Mr Connellan with a thankyou plaque in return.

At Dandenong Fire Brigade’s 120th annual dinner on 13 September NSW Fire Brigade Chief Superintendent Rob McNeil thanked the crew for hosting NSW fire fighters over summer.

Mr McNeil said he was impressed with the brigade’s response times and the secondment had "rejuvenated" his staff.

“Interacting with fire fighters from another state has lifted their enthusiasm. We gained more than we gave,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter where you serve, our job is the same - to serve the community.

“Thanks for having us and we’ll come back any time.“

There to answer the call

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS MEL Chappel gleams with pride as he surveys Dandenong CFA station’s wall-to-wall trophy cabinets which are brimming with memorabilia which is up to 120 years old.

Hundreds of trophies are crammed not side by side but in front of one another, such as a prize clock and photos of state and national championship winning teams.

They speak volumes of the station’s upright traditions.

“That is our history,” Mr Chappel said.

“We don’t want to get rid of any of it.

“I have nothing but admiration for the station’s team. A lot of us are proud of what we’ve done.”

At a brigade dinner on 13 September, Mr Chappel received the Gold Star medal for 30 years’ service - which adorns his uniform near the first bar of the National Medal for 25-plus years of above-the-norm service.

He was also crowned the brigade’s runner-up fire-fighter for 2014 - keeping up a cracking pace of volunteerism despite a pronouncedly painful knee.

The brigade life member still goes out to 50 calls a year and puts in 10 hours a week filling the paperwork as the brigade’s longest-serving secretary.

“No one else wants to do the job, unfortunately,” he said of his 19year secretarial stint.

Every night, he calls into the station “just to see what’s here”.

Mr Chappel is also an executive member, life member and brigade delegate for the CFA Rescue Association. Somehow he plans to pick up the pace when he has a titanium knee installed in the near future.

“We’ve prided ourselves as indi-

“I just hope the younger ones have the same dedication in the future. But there’s work commitments, doing other things.”

There’s also a tradition of knowledge and wisdom being passed down by the station’s elders.

Foreman Ted Aldred was Mr Chappel’s early mentor and Mr Chappel, as a former juniors coach, taught the CFA’s regional commander Trevor Owen as a fledgling.

He said fire-fighting was his life.

His day job is as a private technician who services and installs fire equipment and his father and grandfather also fought fires.

His first call-out with the CFA

was Ash Wednesday 1983 - a true baptism of fire.

He walked in off the street, desperate to lend a hand as a makeshift emergency camp was set up in Berwick for the Dandenongs fires.

Mr Chappel, who had done a shift as a lifesaver in Edithvale that day, fatefully was “the next one” in line to jump onto a truck assigned for Upper Beaconsfield.

That unit and a Panton Hill crew were later entrapped and killed by a fire front which was unleashed as the wind turned.

As he helped a friend try to find his parents in Upper Beaconsfield, the destructive scenes hit home.

“It’s in the back of my mind. For some unknown reason I have a fas-

cination with helping other people.

“You have a sixth sense of what to do.”

Since then he has fought fires in Bunyip State Forest on Black Saturday, pulled smoke-dazed people out of the Liege Court nursing home “death trap” in Noble Park and hauled down sight-seers stranded on Arthurs Seat chairlift.

The worst jobs remain rescuing trapped occupants in a car crash.

“Any time you actually pull someone out alive is a good result.”

More often, the drivers have been affected by the drug ice. Sometimes the syringe is still in the driver’s arm at the crash scene, Mr Chappel said.

“I did one when the drug-dealer was still on the (driver’s) phone.”

AFL GRAND FINAL 2014

Players to watch WITHIN the greater scale of an AFL Grand Final are always a number of skirmishes that will define the end result. The DANDENONG JOURNAL peered into the probably final teams of both sides to pick out the winners and figure out who will play a big role in raising the cup.

By JARROD POTTER HAWTHORN Jarryd Roughead - The highmarking Leongatha prodigy, Roughead has taken his game to new heights without his longtime sparring partner Lance

Franklin. Whether leading out as a key target or used sparingly through the midfielder as a super-sized rover, Roughead has all the bells and whistles and was a worthy All Australian this season. Six goals in the preliminary final defined the

clash and pushed the margin out enough for Port Adelaide to narrowly miss chasing. He will be heavily marked by the Swans as the man to negate from the Hawks to keep Hawthorn out of the contest.

Smith Medallist is a proven finals’ performer. With two premierships under his belt already - one as captain - he knows what it takes to get to the big dance and deliver. Expect him to roam across half-back to negate the Kurt Tippett/Lance Franklin combination and also limited time in the midfield.

Brad Hill - Speed defined the last premiership clash between these sides. Vivid memories of Lewis Jetta streaming down the wing in 2012 still haunt some Hawthorn fans. Luckily for the brown-and-gold brigade the Hawks have a speedster of their own now. Hill roamed half-back and across the wings on Saturday night against Port Adelaide and when he put the afterburners on, he was impossible to catch. Expect him to light up the MCG with some magnificent running.

to talk about Lance Franklin in this contest. It’s his former team - the one that gave him his start in the league and boosted him to champion status. The lure of big bucks took him north and to his credit, after a slow start, Franklin has begun to show why he’s worth millions.

Luke Parker - He just missed out on an All Australian nod, but the wily midfielder knows his way around a football field and Dandenong equally. The former Dandenong Stingrays’ co-captain was a marquee acquisition by the Swans for the dirt cheap price of pick 40 in the 2010 AFL Draft. With Hawthorn’s tagging attentions set to go towards Josh Kennedy and Daniel Hannebery, Parker

will be the one to slip out the back and rack up the possessions.

Jarrad McVeigh - Ball magnet is a term thrown around a lot, but McVeigh lives up to that moniker. He averaged 23 touches this season and gets most of the pill in the defensive end. The defensive attitude also extends to some damaging forays into the midfield, so the Hawks will need to be wary of his transition as he is an immaculate kick.

WITH all the Dandenong teams bowing out of their finals’ races for season 2014, all eyes point towards the big dance - the AFL Grand Final.

The teams were decided on Saturday night after preliminary final victories for Hawthorn and Sydney sealed their passage into the last match of the football year.

Who will take home the prized trophy - crafted only a stone’s throw from Dandenong at Cash’s International in Frankston - and seal their

destiny as the 2014 AFL premiers? We asked around to see who will take the 2014 flag.

ALAN GRIFFIN MP Federal Member for Bruce Sydney by 18. Franklin will be the difference against his old side. Hawthorn won’t be able to kick a winning score against the Swans’ defence.

JIM MEMETI Greater Dandenong Mayor The Swans to win by 10 points. Buddy (Lance Franklin) and Kurt Tippett will be the difference.

NARELLE COULTER Dandenong Journal Editor Sydney by 15 points. The Hawks won it last year, so it’s now Sydney’s turn to get the premiership.

MICK FOGARTY Noble Park Coach Hawthorn by 22 points.

CRAIG BLACK Dandenong Stingrays’ Coach Reckon the Swans will win it with Buddy (Lance Franklin)… and hopefully the old Stingray-boy Lukey Parker will dominate for the Norm Smith.

AFL GRAND FINAL 2014

When two tribes go to war IT’S THE AFL Grand Final we all expected and to that end… it’s the Grand Final we all deserved.

Hawthorn versus Sydney - MCG, Saturday afternoon.

By JARROD POTTER THERE were two dominant sides in this year’s AFL competition and to their credit, these are the two sides to make the last weekend.

Hawthorn had a bit of a headache late against Port Adelaide - with the Power coming from 28 points down to get within a kick of the Hawks. A string of contentious free kicks left Hawthorn ahead by three points at the final siren to take the second berth into the grand final.

Jarryd Roughead’s six-goal effort left him head and shoulders above any other Hawk with Will Langford’s tagging effort on Travis Boak a distant second in the Hawthorn best.

In his post-match press conference on Saturday night, Clarkson said the goal was always a grand final this year and was thrilled his side was able to get past a number of obstacles on-and-off the field to advance.

“Obviously delighted that we’ve started out a mission at the start of the year - to get our side back into a grand final and give ourselves a chance again,” Clarkson said.

“We’ve had to overcome some significant obstacles throughout the year, and we’ve got a similar one to overcome next week.”

Hawthorn will assess star midfielder, All-Australian and Brownlow Medal chance Jordan Lewis throughout the week - as a severe corky on his left thigh forced him from the match in the third term.

“As for his recovery, I’d be staggered if a warrior like him didn’t get up, but stranger things have happened,” Clarkson said of Lewis’ chances.

“We’ll have to monitor that bleed over the next few days and see how it progresses.”

Sydney had a much easier run into the last match - cantering over North Melbourne by 71 points in a show of staggering strength.

Lance Franklin booted five goals while Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker dominated through

really professional manner and did what we had to do.”

The narratives are strewn through both sides to connect everyone into a tangible battle of the best.

Hawthorn fans will rue the loss of three Hawks to the opposite side of the ledger, with Ben McGlynn, father-son legacy Josh Kennedy and milliondollar-forward Lance Franklin. To avenge their losses, the Hawks stoked up on trades of

their own as star recruits Brian Lake, Jack Gunston and David Hale will be asked to compete manfully in the taller contests.

Back-to-back premierships also has a lovely ring to it and would be the first time for the Hawks since the 1988-89 super-team shone through against Geelong to define a generation of football.

Sydney has the wounds of a failed 2013 campaign to stoke the fires and the addition of

tall timber Franklin and Tippett have electrified the league this season.

The other strong narrative through this match - will it be Adam Goodes’ last game? A Sydney premiership - potentially his third as a champion Swan - would be a fitting finale for the 351-game veteran.

In any case, the match is set to be one for the ages. The first bounce is 2.40pm.

Will he or won’t he? Hawthorn faithful will wait nervously for news regarding Jordan Lewis’ injured thigh. 116475 Picture: JARROD POTTER the centre.

Sydney coach John Longmire said the signs all pointed positively for the Swans following the preliminary final as they head into their second grand final in three years.

“It was a good all-round performance to start the way we did,” Longmire said.

“To win the six games in a row and come up full of confidence - I thought from the first bounce we went about it in a

Chief shows refugees how

By CASEY NEILL NOBLE Park Fire Brigade recruits have trained alongside the CFA’s chief officer.

Euan Ferguson joined 15 firefighterhopefuls at Ross Reserve on 9 September, following a CFA-first recruit course targeting diverse backgrounds.

“The chief officer was very impressed and undertook the course on the night,” Southern Metro Region brigade support officer Matthew Pond said.

“He was pretty happy to see the diversity that’s growing in the brigade.

“We had to be very careful initially not to come across and to be seen as too authoritative because of the countries where some of the refugees and asylum seekers had come from.

“The recruits are working very well as a team.”

Mr Pond worked with Red Cross and AMES to facilitate the recruitment infor-

mation sessions and said the new recruits should be turning out by November.

“Then it’s an ongoing process. You never stop learning in the fire brigade,” he said.

“You get your basic skills and once you complete the basics you progress on and pick up other competencies.

“They’ll be ready to go out and be mentored by some of the more senior members.

“This fire season they should be around to support the brigade.”

Mr Pond said it was an exciting time for the brigade.

“I started with the brigade in January and their membership was about 19,” he said.

“Now they’re just shy of 50.

“It has been very much a change in attitude and approach and recognising the fact that we’ve got over 120 different cultures in the Noble Park community.”

He said the CFA was a community and volunteer-based organisation.

“We need to be reflective of the community,” he said.

Mr Pond said the diverse crew would also help to support community engagement.

“We’re becoming self-sufficient,” he said.

The crew was due to attend a Latin American festival at Sandown over the weekend.

“For the first time, the brigade’s able to provide its own translators,” he said.

“We have two Chileans and a person from Spain as well.

“This is going to be endless. We’ve got about 15 different languages now.”

Mr Pond said this latest membership drive was stage four of a 10-stage process to create a stronger brigade, which until July had declined to the point where it couldn’t run independently.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Centre open for skills

By CASEY NEILL A NEW hub in Dandenong will help job-seekers to retrain and find work.

Higher Education and Skills Minister Nick Wakeling opened the South Eastern Workforce Development Centre last Friday.

He said it would provide a range of services and assistance to workers who were directly affected by changes in the economy, particularly those in the automotive supply chain.

“About 60 per cent of Victoria’s automotive supply chain companies are located in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs and this centre will offer significant support for workers to transition into new jobs within growing areas of the economy,” Mr Wakeling said.

“The two centres were funded through a $30 million package to support workers in the automotive and supply chain sector.”

Services on offer include careers information, training and reskilling support, workshops and referrals to other support services such as financial and employment skills counselling.

Frank Formsto was at the launch and will be using the centre.

“I was made redundant from the automotive industry in April,” he said.

He picked up a casual job but is looking for something more permanent and thinks the centre will help.

“I’ve already started my own upskilling and a few computer courses and stuff like that but they’ve offered one-on-one support, which you get to a certain extent though job agencies but it’s not the same.

“They’re under-resourced, they’ve

Mr Formsto, 44, will travel from his home in Mooroolbark each week.

“You just have one-on-one interviews, they set you up on the computer to job search, help you with a resume, all that sort of stuff,” he said.

“They also give you other tips and

interviewing skills and stuff like that.”

Chisholm TAFE CEO Maria Peters said the institute trained workers in transition and supported the centre.

“Education is instrumental in strengthening our people and the economic sustainability of our communities,” she said.

“The opportunities afforded by the new Workforce Development Centre will give support and skills that will help individuals in our wider communities.”

Mr Wakeling has also opened Workforce Development Centres in Broadmeadows and Geelong.

Gates opens for tender works A LOCAL company has been selected by Greater Dandenong Council officers as the preferred tenderer to make, supply and install the Springvale Asian Gateway project.

Councillors will tonight vote whether to endorse the officers’ selection - Dura Constructions in Clayton South.

According to the officers’ report, the project’s cost will blow out by $131,515 above its $645,000 budget.

The extra costs will be considered in the council’s midyear budget review, stated the report.

In a cost-cutting move, the council itself had this year sought to procure some of the gateway’s parts from China after 2013 tender submissions ranged between $945,000 and $1.38 million.

The Asian-style gateway to be built on the corner of Windsor and Buckingham Avenue is funded by the council, Springvale Asian Business Association ($200,000) and the State Government ($175,000).

Advertorial

PRINCIPAL OF YELLOW BRICK ROAD DANDENONG DELWYN RAYNER, EACH WEEK SHARES A COLUMN ON WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL MATTERS FOR THE JOURNAL.

Get Savings Savvy with these simple tips Benjamin Carter, second from left, with fellow scholarship recipient Joel Tabaka at Resort World Sentosa.

New landscape for leadership A KEYSBOROUGH horticulture apprentice learnt some new tricks of the trade during a recent visit to Singapore.

Benjamin Carter works at Haileybury College in Keysborough and received a Skilling Australia Foundation scholarship for excellence and leadership.

The trip was designed to provide the hands-on skills that apprentices need to land and keep jobs - skills they’re unlikely to glean from a more traditional classroom setting.

“Having unrestricted access, seeing all these amazing sites first hand, and meeting all these experienced landscapers, rather than just being talked to in a classroom, was amazing,” Benjamin said.

“The biggest eye-opener for me was the lack of tools and re-

sources available in Singapore.

“But, the landscapers are still able to get the same result as us in Australia - it might just take a little bit longer.

“I’ll definitely use some of their techniques in my day-today work, particularly when it comes to planting trees.”

Benjamin visited the awardwinning Tanah Merah Country Club and one of the oldest nurseries in Singapore, Prince’s Landscape.

The Prince’s team and Nature Landscapes staff showed Benjamin some of their projects, and he attended the Singapore Flower and Garden Show and toured Resort World Sentosa.

He’s enrolled in the Certificate III Turf Management (Sport) course and has worked

at Haileybury College for about 18 months.

He was recently named the most outstanding first year apprentice at Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE. Benjamin received a Skilling Australia Foundation scholarship for excellence and leadership, funded by The Percy Baxter Charitable Trust and the Eddy Dunn Endowment through the Perpetual Foundation.

The not-for-profit Skilling Australia Foundation regularly offers merit-based scholarships to fund short study trips for students who demonstrate a high level of academic achievement, leadership skills and other outstanding abilities or have contributed to the community through their chosen profession.

Spring is a great time to start thinking about the best ways to save money. Whether you’re planning a holiday, saving for a house deposit or just want some cash stashed away for a rainy day, now is a good time to think about making your money work harder.

Become a smart saver this spring with these simple tips: 1. Set a goal. Start your savings by knowing what you want to do with your money, how much you’ll need and what you need to do to get there.

2. Compare short and long term deposit rates to find where the highest yields are.

Over the course of the banks’ funding cycle different terms of deposit pay different rates of interest. Don’t just compare ‘savings account’ products when 60 or 90 day term deposits might give you a better result.

3. Use savings calculators to see how much more your savings can earn with even slightly higher interest rates. Keep an eye on what the market is offering.

4. Look further afield than your transaction bank when you search for higher yields.

Many Australians simply save their money in an account at their current bank, but the higher yields are often at second-tier banks and other institutions.

5. Negotiate directly with institutions. Your job is to find the highest interest rates for your money, not just the advertised rates. Decide what rate you should be earning and ask for it.

6. Identify alternatives to savings accounts, that offer higher yields but with similar risk profiles (i.e. managed fund cash accounts such as Yellow Brick Road Smarter Money).

7. Set up automated direct debits to create forced savings with limited access.

There are many online resources that allow savers to be fully informed. Do your homework, set your goals and get your money working as hard as you do!

To set up a savings plan that’s best for you or for any other finance questions call or visit Delwyn at the Dandenong office.

Bs get the Keys to the highway LEAVING on a high note, Keysborough Netball Club bowed out of Casey Cardinia with a premiership flag.

Keysborough’s final term effort proved too much for Berwick to handle as the Burra emerged triumphant to claim the 38-31 B-Grade victory.

Keysborough’s B-Grade netball team excelled through the finals’ series - knocking off Narre Warren to advance to the grand final - before facing Berwick on Saturday afternoon in the Burra’s last match in the league.

The match was goal-forgoal throughout most of the clash as the Wickers and Burra struggled to pierce the opponent’s defence. The defensive efforts of coach Samantha Downie and goalkeeper Sarah Vella kept the Wickers’ attack under wraps. Downie excelled as she swooped on countless interceptions and deflections to keep Berwick

on the back foot.

At the opposite end, Chloe Plumb had the Midas touch in the goaler’s arc - sinking 12 goals in the final term to finish the match with 32 of Keysborough’s 38 goals.

The match was evenly poised heading into the last

term as Keysborough held a 25-24 lead after a whistle beating long-range goal.

Plumb lived up to her moniker shooting brilliantly in the last term receiving the ball from mid-courters Alana Vieceli and Amy Burns.

the Burra to swoop on its final flag in Casey Cardinia and end its 60-year affiliation with South West Gippsland Football League (SWGFL).

“I think we just kept control and we wanted it more,” Downie said.

“I think our pressure - was causing the turnovers and the goalers just converted the goals and it was amazing.

Burra mid-courter Breanna Vieceli was awarded the best-on-court award.

Keysborough now head to the Southern Football League and its affiliated netball competition after Keysborough’s transfer was confirmed during the week.

“Going to a new league but we will be going in with some strong teams so it’s really good.”

Keysborough announced this week Ryan Goodes will take over from Chris Bryan as the Burra’s senior coach in 2015.

She’s a Diamond in the… Ruff!

By JASON ADAMS

Mick Fearnley gives his champion stayer Ruff Cut Diamond a hug after its ninth career-win. 127740

RUFF Cut Diamond announced herself as one of the staying stars of the future, claiming her ninth career win at Sandown Park on Thursday night.

Beginning from box three, Ruff Cut Diamond set a hot early tempo to lead by four lengths first time past the post, before extending the gap to win by six lengths in a blistering 41.52.

The time is one of the fastest ever set over the 715m at Sandown Park, however it came as no surprise to her trainer Mick Fearnley.

“She’s been racing without any luck of late, it was starting to become a bit frustrating, though with a clear run and a bit of luck I knew she could run some super-fast times,” said Fearnley.

The run was Ruff Cut Diamond’s second over the distance having weakened late in her first attempt, however Fearnley was never in doubt she would succeed over the trip.

“She’s run 29.26 over the sprint distance, though I’ve always said she’s a stayer competing in sprint races.”

With the $600,000 TAB Melbourne Cup just two

months away, Fearnley decided to bypass the series, instead deciding to set his chaser for the Group 1 SOLO Bold Trease.

“I won’t be bringing her back in distance for the Melbourne Cup, she’ll be heading to the Bold Trease, we might also consider the Sale Cup in December.” said Fearnley.

Fearnley isn’t the only one with a high opinion of the greyhound, with owner David Llewellyn having received countless offers for the promising stayer.

“David has received some pretty big offers for her, though we’re not giving this one up - she’s a keeper.”

By JARROD POTTER IT WAS a “no-brainer”.

Noble Park Football Club announced a boon signing for their senior coaching vacancy as the Bulls re-united with dual EFL premiership coach Mick Fogarty.

Fogarty, who had stepped down from the Noble Park coaching position at the end of 2013, said he was asked by the club if he was interested to return after his one-year sabbatical and emphatically accepted.

“It was a phone call from the footy club and I was interested in coming back,” Fogarty said.

“It was probably a no-brainer at the end of the day.

“I’ve had a great run in regards to what we’ve been able to achieve as a player and a coach and it’s a great club to go back to.

“It’s a terrific competition and to watch Vermont and Balwyn last week - getting back down and watching that - and wanting to be part of all that again was a no-brainer… it’s great to get back to the club.”

A year out of coaching did Fogarty a world of good - allowing him to enjoy football as a spectator - but admitted the hunger started to return to get into the coach’s box.

“It was refreshing to get away and watch a bit of local footy - Richmond in the AFL - and not have the pressure so to speak of being tied down to a place every weekend,” Fogarty said.

“Really missed the match day stuff and being around the place and the footy club.

“Certainly a great year off but it’s

Mick Fogarty, pictured consoling his players after the 2013 grand-final defeat, has reunited with Noble Park Picture: JARROD POTTER Football Club after one year out of coaching. 106364 great to be back.”

Speculation surrounded whether Fogarty would head out to coach the Frankston Dolphins’ VFL team after current coach Simon Goosey was asked to re-apply for his job.

Fogarty confirmed he was only looking at Noble Park or Frankston for 2015 and would only head the Dolphins if he had wanted to take that step up to the next level.

Fogarty said there was a list management meeting scheduled for Thurs-

day night to discuss the direction of the playing list moving into the off-season.

Noble Park president David Allan said a coach of Fogarty’s calibre is a boon for any club who can pick him up and the Bulls were thrilled to regain him at the helm.

“Any coach that has had that with a club that he’s had - three grand finals and two premierships - it’s a formula for success,” Allan said.

“He’s had a year off, not necessarily a bad thing, to focus on family and

work and he’s up and about and ready to go again.

“He’s refreshed and has some different ideas, the energy is up and he’s down at the club tonight (Thursday) and is full steam ahead.”

Noble Park and 2014 coach Jon Knight split ways after Round 16 after it was confirmed Knight would not be re-appointed for next year. Playing assistant-coach Stewart Kemperman filled the interim coaching position for the Bulls’ final two rounds of 2014.

Thrown to the Sharks THE next hurdle for South Springvale kicks off on Tuesday evening.

The FFA Cup’s Round of 16 competition takes the Aris boys from Warner Reserve all the way to Queensland as they go up against Palm Beach Sharks.

The form side of the NPLQ competition, Palm Beach Sharks won its way through to the NPL Finals after winning their own state competition and will be a considerable hurdle for South Springvale to defeat.

Following a come-frombehind victory over South Cardiff in the Round of 32, South Springvale is the lowest ranked team remaining in the singleelimination tournament.

Aris finished their regular season in FFV’s State League 1 South East competition with a 0-3 loss to Malvern.

Highlights from South Springvale versus Palm Beach Sharks will be shown live on FOX SPORTS during the telecast of Sydney United versus Sydney FC on Tuesday night from 7.30pm.
