CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE 1 December 2014

A Star News Group Publication

With 1 in 5 people in Australia living with a disability, plus their carers and families being affected, it seems strange that so little is known about it.

What do people with disability do every day?

What sort of jobs are there in this sector?

These are the reasons why we created WallaraTV – to lift the lid on disability and to capture and tell the stories that we see every day right across our Service.

We also knew that the biggest thing holding people with different abilities back from being involved in their community and having productive social roles or jobs is attitudes and lack of understanding. So by capturing stories from across our Service and sharing them through our YouTube channel (we now have more than 90 stories and 30,000 views) the aim is to educate through entertainment.

TV Specials are another exciting platform for us to package our stories into a 30 minute program, reach more people and have more impact. We believe these stories are important and they help us reflect on our own

lives and how we would cope in their shoes. Our events and activities are also captured and celebrated on video to showcase our staff, our partnership and more importantly the people we support.

In today’s world where you can’t open the newspaper or turn on the TV without a bad or sad news story, WallaraTV is going into homes around the country and sharing our good news stories of everyday people with different abilities and changing perceptions, one viewer at a time.

I hope you enjoy the stories about our Service in this special edition publication. I look forward to welcoming you to the official opening of our Pop Up Shop at Dandenong Plaza on Friday 5th December.

Best Wishes, Phil Hayes-Brown Wallara CEO Wallara acknowledges and thanks community television service, Channel 31 for supporting Wallara in celebrating people with different abilities.

20 Million Reasons To Celebrate

Ian Muir celebrating the huge milestone.

Most shoppers give little thought to the security tag that is removed from their clothing purchase and thrown unceremoniously into a box under a Myer checkout desk - but at Wallara Logistics it is cause for celebration.

For over 4 years around 96,000 of these tags have made their way, every week, to the bustling premises of Wallara Logistics where they are welcomed by an enthusiastic team ready to sort and reassemble them.

The majority of these tags then travel to China, Hong Kong and all over Asia Pacific where the manufacturers of Myer products fix the tag back on to their products before sending them back to Australia to start the process all over again.

Earlier this year at Wallara Logistics in Keysborough the 20 millionth tag was recycled.

Joining the team to celebrate were representatives from global leader in shrink management, merchandise visability and apparel labelling solutions, Checkpoint Systems, who has joined with Myer to implement improvements in merchandise protection, including the

85 Sages Road, Baxter VIC 3911 source tagging of merchandise, resulting in a huge reduction in Myer’s instore theft and positive outcome to their bottom line.

Both Myer General Manager, Store Operations, Wendy Marshall and Mark Gentle, Vice President Merchandise Availability Solutions, Checkpoint, acknowledged the contribution Wallara Industries has played to this multi-national program.

“It’s a win-win situation:” said Wallara Logistics General Manager, Garry Baker “we are able to provide meaningful, supported employment to people with different abilities and Myer gets the quality results they expect, with the bonus of knowing they are giving back to the community.”

Wallara is the proud custodian of Sages Cottage, the heritage listed property set on 34 picturesque acres in Baxter. At the heart of the property is Baxter Barn which provides a beautiful backdrop for weddings, parties and corporate functions - large and small.

To book your event or to find out more visit www.baxterbarn.com.au Baxter Barn is operated by one of Melbourne's leading catering companies (and Wallara's official catering partner) Going Gourmet.

Operating from three premises in the Keypoint Estate, Wallara Logistics has over 9000m² of new high span warehousing and production facilities purpose designed for clients who are seeking production/packing/kitting service combined with 3PL service delivery.

Wallara Logistics is proud to provide services to a number of iconic brands including:

Jonathon is delighted that Wallara Logistics is the distributor of Hawthorn Football Club’s online merchandise.

Thanks To Newskills At Wallara we believe that every individual has the right to achieve their full potential and our partnership with Registered Training Organisation, Newskills, is allowing some of our supported employees at Logistics the opportunity to do that.

“Newskills really understands how mainstream expertise and materials can be creatively applied to improve outcomes for people with different abilities,” said Wallara CEO, Phil Hayes-Brown, “and by tailoring the program it allows people to achieve the success they would have once thought out of reach.

Volunteers Wanted!

We love all our volunteers and we couldn't run our Service without them. might be able to assist and join our team,

In under 3 years, nearly 30 employees have achieved their Certificate II in Logistics and Warehousing and their success and enthusiasm is rubbing off on the people around them with others hoping to follow in their footsteps.

Wallara is an innovative, sector leading support service for adults with different abilities. Based in Melbourne’s south-east suburbs, we support over 550 people across 30 sites by providing community day services including specialised high care support, residential and supported accommodation, part time and full time employment and training and workplace opportunities.

OUR JOURNEY Pathways To Employment From little acorns, big oaks grow and the teams in Wallara’s Pathways to Employment Program are perfect examples of this.

Three of the leading work experience programs that have been created to prepare Wallara service users for future employment are shown below.

The dynamic team at Grass Busters is now mowing and maintaining gardens from Dandenong to the Mornington Peninsula.

Potter Coffee And Delicious Options

The Taste Of Success

Sight For Sore Eyes For more than twenty years Darren Ship has been supported by Wallara to live as independently as possible. Since 2012 he has been sharing a group home with some other residents at Pakenham not far from his parents who see him often.

Due to his disability and ageing, Darren’s eye sight was deteriorating, and so was his quality of life. Even with the thickest prescription glasses possible, Darren’s vision was so blurred he would need to be led into new environments and shown a chair. He had

In November Darren went to his favourite event of the year and thanks to his new eyes he saw the Show better than ever before. The smile on his face made it all worthwhile and the generosity of the surgeon and the NewVision Clinic will never be forgotten.

Thanks to the Wallara Wish Foundation and the team at NewVision Clinic, Darren recently had lens replacement surgery and has a new clear outlook on life.

The talented team at Delicious Options are perfecting their hospitality skills and now catering for the community.

Potter Coffee is Wallara's home-grown coffee shop situated at Wallara's Headquarters in Potter Street. It is now open 5 days per week to the public.

The Sing and Sign Choir is an exciting venture between Wallara and Australia’s largest provider of Auslan training courses, The Auslan Company.

The aim of the group is to showcase social inclusion, raise awareness of Auslan and have some fun!

Everyone in our choir has different abilities. Some of us sing, some of us sign and not many of us do either very well – but we give it our best shot.

No special talent is needed: ALL ABILITIES WELCOME.

■ Family feels let down after ground collapse drops woman into disused well...

Sinking feeling

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Inspections of a three-metre disused well began soon after Christina Beaumont was rescued on Tuesday. 131474 responsibility. “How many other wells are there in the area? Does every single person have to dig up their back yard to check if there’s a well?”

The council’s engineering services director Julie Reid last week said the council was “unable to find any refer-

ence to a well on the property, nor does it appear on property maps”.

The Australian Institute of Conveyancing and the Law Institute of Victoria told the Journal they’d never heard of a well being reported on land title records.

SINKHOLE victim Christina Beaumont and her family want answers on how a disused well that swallowed her under a Springvale South clothesline last week was previously undetected.

The 53-year-old was hospitalised for heart-block after the ground opened up under her while she was hanging out washing for a friend.

She desperately tried to stay afloat for at least 20 minutes in the well’s murky, freezing waters in Olympic Drive on Tuesday morning.

Hours after she was hauled from the pit seemingly unscathed, Ms Beaumont collapsed at her Noble Park home.

Rebecca Beaumont said her mother’s heart-block - which describes a dysfunctional electric conduction system in the heart - was caused by hypothermia and “shock to the heart”.

Ms Beaumont was expected to remain in hospital for several days.

“She doesn’t remember falling,” Rebecca told the Journal last week.

“All of a sudden she was under water. She actually went down and came back up with dirt and mud in her mouth.

“Her instinct was to climb and hold on to whatever pieces of timber there were. But she was terrified that if she moved, the dirt and mud would collapse on her.”

Ms Beaumont trod water, calling for help for what would have felt an eternity.

She doubted whether the 85-yearold resident in the house would hear her cries over the washing machine.

“It just so happened that the guy living behind them went out into his backyard and heard her,” Rebecca said.

Though grateful for Ms Beaumont’s good fortune, the family wonder how no one knew of the hidden well, including the elderly couple who had lived at the house for the past 50 years.

Track bug breakout SANDOWN Greyhound Racing Track's function centre was last week in lockdown following a gastroenteritis outbreak.

More than 130 people fell ill following a Wantirna Secondary College valedictory dinner at the Springvale venue on Wednesday 19 November and another function on Friday 21 November.

Department of Health spokesman Graeme Walker said the department had been working with the City of Greater Dandenong to determine the cause and clean up.

“The indication is it’s not contaminated food. The food wasn’t bad,” Mr Walker said.

“The more likelihood is that after the food was prepared the handling and hygiene practices may have caused the goods to become contaminated, or alternatively it could have been hygiene problems in somewhere like the bathroom.

“The bug could have been spread by hand to surface contact.”

He said the venue closed for a full commercial clean on Friday 21 November, under council supervision.

“It was open again on Friday night and when further cases of illness came to light arising from patrons on Friday, then the view was taken that perhaps something had slipped through in the process,” Mr Walker said.

“The council officers went back there and a further, more extensive commercial clean and disinfectant was done under the supervision of the council.

“Once the council officers and our department are satisfied that the cleaning has been done appropriately then the venue will be in a position to open its doors again.”

He said food premises were required to have a food handling and safety plan that included staff education and training.

“If there have been issues which may come to light from the investigation here I’m sure there will be a review of their food plan and a move to address anything that could

be improved,” he said. “There may or may not be any penalties.”

The track's CEO Greg Miller said it was important to note that the bug affected both diners and nondiners.

“We are awaiting further test results and until we can reasonably understand the origins of the virus our grandstand remains closed,” he said.

Mr Miller said several functions scheduled during the lockdown were moved to alternative locations or dates.

“It’s just being safe. We just don’t know the answers yet,” he said.

“It’s a virus that comes in and it spreads quickly.”

Welfare plea to shelve library demolition

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS TWO not-for-profit welfare agencies have called for Greater Dandenong Council to save the former Dandenong library in Stuart Street as a community space.

Dandenong Benevolent Society and Dandenong Citizens Advisory Bureau, which assist the region’s most hard-up, told the Journal that they could be complementary cotenants of the site as part of a greater community hub.

The building’s future is being reviewed by Greater Dandenong Council, whose preference is to demolish and convert the site into a car park for the expanding Dandenong Market.

The library closed just ahead of the nearby municipal building project’s opening in March.

Benevolent society president Margaret Ladner said the charity needed to move to a bigger space at the library site.

She said it barely had enough space at its Thomas Street op-shop to wrap up toys for its Christmas gift drive.

The move would also reduce the need for elderly volunteers having to lug goods from a church storage space across town.

“We could work great together with the DCAB. "We’d complement each other they could refer people to us to get material assistance. It’d be a marvellous idea.

“Why tear the building down?

The CAB and us are willing to pay the rent.”

Jinny McGrath, who heads the DCAB, said the library site could be a key part of a community services precinct including the nearby Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre in the former council offices in Clow

A WOMAN'S arm was broken when a man pushed her to the ground in Dandenong.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Jodie Stoll said the victim alighted a bus at the corner of Langhorne and Lonsdale streets about 5.30pm on 15 November.

She was walking along the footpath when a man approached and pushed her over, breaking her arm.

The man fled along Langhorne Street towards Thomas Street.

He was described as aged in his mid to late forties, Middle Eastern and 170 centimetres tall with a moustache and dark clothing.

Call First Constable Dina Muratovic at Dandenong Police Station on 9767 7444 with any information.

Park bench murder charge HOMICIDE Squad detectives last Thursday charged a 21-year-old man with murder following a suspicious death in Dandenong Park.

An off-duty PSO found a 43-year-old homeless man’s body while walking his dog in the Pultney Street park about 4.30am on 19 November.

The accused was already in custody over a separate matter and was due to appear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday morning.

Allied Dental Care Margaret Ladner and Jinny McGrath want the former Dandenong library re-opened for community space. 131587 Street and Dandenong Neighbourhood House.

She said the council could divert funds from a planned renovation of the bureau’s current Foster Street East home - which she said was too hard for clients to find.

“It would make our service much more accessible. For instance, it would make it easier for clients referred from the SMRC to find their way here.

“One of the hardest things for people is to find where services are and then getting to them.”

Dandenong Community Association, which launched a petition

to save the library building, supports the agencies’ bids.

“These organisations will provide more value to the community than a car park ever will,” co-founder Silvia Mastrogiovanni said.

The agencies face an uphill battle, with a majority of councillors in favour of a car park on the site.

Cr John Kelly said the market “the council’s biggest asset” - was desperately in need of parking.

He said the market expansionwould return an estimated $400,000 extra annual profit to the council.

He said the agencies could move into the partly vacant former council offices in Clow Street as an alternative.

Councillor Matthew Kirwan, who opposes the demolition, said: “It’s (strange) when we create a plan to assist community groups and agencies with the huge number of asylum seekers but plan to demolish a building that community groups and agencies could use to help them.”

Island dining makes for a fine Fijian family feast IN ONE of central Dandenong’s quieter corners there are rare feasts of Fijian and Fiji-Indian cuisine.

Fiji Cafe in the eastern end of Thomas Street combines a typical Indian menu of roti bread, fried-spinach bajlas, samosas and a plethora of curries with tropical-island dishes using coconut cream and taro, which is also known as cassava.

In keeping with the island tradition, seafood is the restaurant's strength and all-you-can-eat $18-ahead weekend banquets are a speciality.

Owner Farin Khan-Esaq recommends the fish lolo sauced in a coconut cream and cassava blend.

Cassava is a white, starchy tuber vegetable. Goat, fish, lamb, chicken and vegetarian curries go up the heat scale from mild to scorching.

Desserts and dried snacks such as deep-fried blue peas and murku are made on the premises.

Behind the sweets counter are gulab jamun, a pretzel-shaped moist toffee, as well as cardamom-laced slices with sweet toppings known as barfi, and the traditional vakalolo, made of grated cassava, coconut and sugar.

100 years ago 3 December 1914 THE WAR Patriotic News Messrs Wauchope and Moloney, the hon. secretaries to the benefit race meeting held recently in Dandenong, have handed the proceeds amounting to £41/9/2 to Mrs Arthur Kennedy, who is chairwomen of the ladies committee connected with the local branch of the Red Cross Fund.

The amount is to be expended in buying blankets for the Expeditionary Forces.

Included in the list of towns from which the largest quantity of goods, Dandenong is included, thus showing that the ladies on the local committee and those assisting them, have accomplished great work on behalf of the Red Cross.

Ms Khan-Esaq, in her seventh year as an owner, learnt and loved cooking growing up in a big family in the small town of Savusavu in Fiji.

She feted friends and family with her cuisine for years before she took the plunge and opened the cafe.

After initial struggles, the restaurant has grown from word-of-mouth and recently promoted itself via Facebook and a website.

It recently set up a Facebook page which would-be customers can ‘like’ to get a free coffee or a spicy masala tea.

Fiji Cafe is open at 90-92 Thomas Street, Dandenong, on Wednesdays to Mondays.

50 years ago 2 December 1964 Metal thrown on front gardens Increasing use of the service road between Potter St, and Fifth Ave had thrown road metal on resident’s front gardens, said Cr Ian Fotheringham at Dandenong Council’s last meeting.

“One ratepayer says he has to go over his lawn every day to remove the stones, but the other day he broke a plate-glass window worth £40 with a stone picked up by his mower.” Said Cr Fotheringham.

He said apparently motorists preferred going up the service road to making the sharp turn to the highway from Potter Street.

The City Engineer (Mr Gordon Wright) said the Potter entrance to the highway has been deliberately designed to make it a 90-degrees

turn for safety’s sake. Traffic from minor roads should not enter fast-flowing traffic on a highway until the movement could be done without danger.

20 years ago 5 December 1994 Bypass is rolling After 10 years of lobbying and two years of building, the Westall Road Extension was finally opened Thursday morning, complete with sprayed–on grass, wall-to-wall politicians and, of course, cars.

IT’S business as usual for state-election victor Labor - currently poised to clean-sweep the grabbag of lower-house seats in the Greater Dandenong area.

The ALP’s Gabrielle Williams, who will replace retired Dandenong incumbent John Pandazopoulos, says jobs was the main factor for her maintaining a healthy margin, despite an energetic campaign from Liberal opponent Joanna Palastides.

“I was increasingly meeting people out of work for prolonged periods of time,” she said.

Ms Williams, as a first-time candidate, was relieved to have won the safe Labor seat but said “the work starts now”.

She said her party “would not waste a day” tackling the region’s high youth unemployment rates - about 21 per cent in Dandenong and nearly 20 per cent in Doveton - along with reversing the vast TAFE funding cuts.

“In some ways you’ve reached the top of the mountain; in some ways you feel like you’re staring up at it - there’s so much to do.”

Keysborough sitting MP and soon-to-be the state attorney-general Martin Pakula further entrenched himself with a five per cent swing in his already safe seat.

Interestingly, premier elect Daniel Andrews holds one of the more marginal seats in the area - increasing his marginal buffer in Mulgrave by just two per cent.

Jude Perera has for the second time staved off a close challenge for his Cranbourne seat from Casey mayor and ex-VFL footballer Geoff Ablett.

The ALP has also comfortably retained Clarinda, Narre Warren North and Narre Warren South.

The most marginal seat is Carrum, a seat that comprises the Lyndhurst toxic waste dump.

Sitting Liberal MP Donna Bauer was provisionally behind her ALP rival Sonya Kilkenny 48-52 on a two-party preferred count.

Greater Dandenong Council had lobbied ahead of the election for the toxic waste dump’s closure, but neither major party supported the stance.

The only party to back the closure was the Greens - whose candidate Henry Kelsall wore a

Gabrielle Williams at the Dandenong early voting centre last Friday. 131581 Picture: Stewart Chambers slight swing against him.

There could also be a twist in the Little India issue. The ALP has pledged to support a bolstered Indian precinct, without guaranteeing it will be sited in the renowned Little India shopping-strip in Dandenong.

One of Little India’s self-described supporters and would-be Planning Minister Brian Tee is fighting to retain his Eastern Metropolitan region seat.

Ms Williams however said there was a “team” of MPs backing the Dandenong precinct “including Daniel (Andrews) who has been plugged into that issue for some time”.

In the upper house, the ALP’s sitting South Eastern Metropolitan member Lee Talarmis is in a three-way fight with Greens’ candidate Nina

Springle and Rise Up Australia’s leader Daniel Nalliah. ’ Mr Nalliah, known for his strident anti-Islam views, polled just more than one per cent of the vote but seems to have profited from a strong micro-party preference flow.

Ms Springle, who appears ahead after 58 per cent of votes were counted, said “it’s too close to call at this stage”.

“We won’t know for a couple of weeks I’m told.

“There will probably be a recount, I suspect.”

On a provisional count, it appears the ALP’s Gavin Jennings and Adem Somyurek and the Liberals’ Gordon Rich-Phillips and Inga Peulich have retained their Legislative Council seats.

THE signs aren’t looking good for a regular bevy of drinkers in Palm Plaza.

Following complaints from traders about the group’s daily unruly antics, City of Greater Dandenong will install ‘No Drinking Alcohol in Public Places’ signage near the plaza’s public toilets and laneways. The council confirmed last week that CCTV cameras would be installed there mid to late next year.

"Police will be able to monitor Palm Plaza CCTV images both live and retrospectively after an incident," community services director Mark Doubleday said.

Councillor Peter Brown’s solution was to close the outside public toilets and remove the benches that the group parks itself on.

"It’s inconvenient to them. It’ll force them to keep on the move."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…

Not so great

life is a positive attitude, simple living, keeping close to family, strong faith - and a small glass of Dubonnet just before dinner.

THERE’S nothing like a photo opp to get a politician’s blood racing.

A great debate broke out at last week’s City of Greater Dandenong meeting when it was noticed there were fewer photos of councillors’ mugs in the latest edition of the council’s propaganda sheet The City.

At one point, a council officer pointed out that ward councillor features were "never" part of The City’s Christmas edition - there being several relatively minor events like Carols by Candlelight and Australia Day celebrations taking precedence.

THE Journal was pleased to see the council’s executives rolling their sleeves up.

We spotted CEO John Bennie and community services director Mark Doubleday last Monday evening helping a staff member pack up a giant umbrella that appeared to have been felled in Dandenong Civic Square.

POLICE officers found themselves barred from entering their Dandenong station last week.

The Journal couldn’t help but giggle as cop after cop entered the foyer and found bright orange witches hats barricading the door while flooring renovations took place.

“You come back from leave and they’ve locked you out,” one lamented.

CONGRATS to Marie Ghislaine Fraser who celebrated her 100th birthday a couple of weeks ago.

We’re told her secret to long

A HARD to spot street sign in Noble Park has been repositioned.

Councillor Roz Blades said the council had moved a ‘no right hand turn’ sign in Mons Parade higher up the pole following complaints from drivers.

It’s a VicRoads sign but Greater Dandenong took matters into its own hands following inaction since August - with VicRoads’ blessing, Cr Blades said.

SO MUCH for greater Dandenong.

So much for greater Melbourne. So much for the new parking at Springvale Railway Station.

On the morning of 22 November between 10am and 12.30pm someone broke into my car and, lucky for him/her, found my GPS and it was stolen.

Nothing was in view to discourage crooks/opportunists that in my car there is anything of value.

The glove box and console compartment were open and every item thrown on the floor of the car.

I left everything as it was and drove home. Once there I took a couple of photos. After that I put everything back in the glove and console boxes.

To my surprise the thief left the

GPS car charger and also missed a couple of $5 notes that I had in the locker.

I did not bother to report it to the police - I thought it wasn’t necessary.

It has been years since I have been to greater Dandenong.

I also avoid, if possible, travelling to Melbourne and certainly not during the night.

When I do travel for necessity I do it during day and make sure I return in daylight, too.

So much for greater Melbourne it is better to avoid it.

Glorious were the days when Melbourne and Dandenong were so great. The greatness of the tall buildings contrast greater with the soullessness of the base.

DANDENONG JOURNAL

Ice court out AN ICE-user has been charged after allegedly trying to smuggle a bag of suspected methamphetamine and an ice pipe into Dandenong Magistrates’ Court.

David Sosnowski of Springvale was arrested last Monday after security scans at the court entrance revealed an ice pipe in his clothing.

Informant Constable Christopher Brinkman of Dandenong police told a bail hearing hours later that a Protective Services Officer then searched Sosnowski and allegedly found a clear bag of white powder in his wallet.

Sosnowski allegedly told security staff that the powder was a prescribed ADHD medication called butanephrine, Constable Brinkman said.

When taken for an interview at Springvale Police Station, he allegedly told officers that he had syringes and drugs hidden in his underpants and produced a syringe and a powder in his hand.

He then resisted a stripsearch, standing on the inter-

view room table in a “fighting stance” and “screaming” at police to “come and get me c***s.

I want this. I’ll f***ing go you c***s”, Constable Brinkman told the court.

Five officers forcibly searched Sosnowski, who was sprayed with capsicum spray and allegedly kicked at police, the court was told.

A futher bag of “white crystal substance” was found in Sosnowski’s pants, Constable Brinkman said.

“He was so aggressive and violent we were unable to interview him or get coherent answers from him.”

The informant said the package contents had yet to be tested, but believed two were butanephrine and one was methamphetamine.

He said police were concerned about Sosnowski reoffending if released on bail due to the applicant’s history of drugof-dependence use, assaulting and resisting police, and his likelihood of continuing to use ice.

Sokowski, who represented

himself, told the court he was on a prescribed dextroamphetamine program for ADHD which required him to be clear of ‘ice’ use.

“I’m in good hands with my doctor,” he said.

Sokowski was already facing charges over carrying a controlled weapon, and resisting and assaulting police after illegally crossing the former Springvale level-crossing in April.

He was also charged with breaching an intervention order and threatening to inflict serious injury, namely to pop out the victim’s eyes and eardrums, in June.

Magistrate Greg Connellan, in rejecting bail, said there was “significant unanswered issues” - some of which could be answered by Sokowski’s doctor.

Mr Connellan remanded Sosnowski to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 8 January but noted a Credit bail application - based on supporting evidence from the doctor - could be “appropriate” in the interim.

Parking shortage not a good look FEARS of a car parking shortage in central Noble Park have intensified after the planning approval of a five-storey development at 1 Noble Street.

Councillor Roz Blades, who opposed the 17-dwelling apartment building with medical clinic, said she’d push for the council to build a large car

park to avert “Noble Park going down the gurgler”.

The approved development included 37 on-site car spaces.

It borders the site for a planned 90-plus apartment development, which will create further parking congestion, Cr Blades said.

“It needs to hold a lot of cars

2015 STUDY WITH DEAKIN LOCALLY IN DANDENONG

otherwise shoppers are going to drive past Noble Park because they can’t park there,” Cr Blades said.

A majority of councillors voted for the development which failed to attract a formal public objection.

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

Walk the right way

By CASEY NEILL MORE than 700 people took a united stand against family violence in central Dandenong last Friday.

They came to Dandenong Market from across the south east to make the Walk Against Family Violence to Dandenong Civic Square.

Women, men and children donned black T-shirts emblazoned with “I say NO to family violence” to support the White Ribbon cause.

Some wiped away tears as they heard from guest speakers Christine Nixon, the former Victoria Police Chief Commissioner, Antiochian Orthodox Church’s Reverend Jean Mawal and City of Greater Dandenong Mayor Sean O’Reilly.

Cr O’Reilly told the crowd to refuse to stay silent.

“No woman should live in fear of a husband or partner and no child should live in fear of a parent,” he said.

“Our challenge is to change the way people think and how they behave.

“We can set an example in our own words and actions, especially around children.

“We can challenge attitudes that show disrespect towards women and we can respond to signs of violence.”

20

days till Christmas

Fr Mawal said a feeling of joyful sorrow had overwhelmed him.

“We came together for one cause and in one mind,” he said.

“We’ve also gathered to put to rest such a terrible disease.”

He recalled explaining to an 11-year-old boy that it was unacceptable to throw punches at his mother when he got upset.

He’d learnt the behaviour from his abusive father.

“Imagine the hatred in this little boy’s heart,” he said.

“Imagine the pain this mother is experiencing.”

Fr Mawal said everyone had the right to a life without fear, hesitation and isolation and that blaming drugs, alcohol, a violent upbringing or stress for family violence was unacceptable.

“There is no excuse,” he said.

“This is why we’re here today and why your voice is needed tomorrow.”

Ms Nixon was instrumental in initiating change within Victoria Police to acknowledge the magnitude of family violence and encourage reporting. She said no-one in the force or society wanted to talk about family violence.

“They said it was a family matter,” she said.

Sophea Lim from the Multicultural Women’s Friendship Group. 130213 But Ms Nixon said it did enormous harm to the community.

“This is not just about women.

Violence hurts us all,” she said.

She urged people to speak up.

“If you hear family violence, call the police,” she said.

“Don’t be a bystander. Don’t let it go on. The consequences can be enormous.”

For help or support regarding family violence call the 24-hour Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service Victoria (WDVCS) on 1800 015 188 or visit www.asksomeone. org.au.

Those who are in immediate danger should phone triple zero.

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

New lessons

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG West Primary School is tackling family violence before it has a chance to start.

The 30-plus guests at the school’s White Ribbon Day breakfast on Tuesday 25 November signed an oath to stop violence against women.

“My hope is that we will all challenge gender stereotypes and that we won’t remain silent,” principal Bev Hansen said.

Teacher Ivan Araujo said the event was about kick-starting awareness and that addressing family violence was new for the primary school sector.

Dandenong West Primary School recently conducted a survey to assess student attitudes to family violence and associated issues, and found some girls didn’t feel valued.

“We’re working to address the issues that result in family violence,” Mr Araujo said.

“We’re trying to address stereotypes of masculinity and femininity.”

He said the topic was too sensitive to directly discuss with children so teachers would use ‘circle time’ activities to subtly introduce concepts.

“Teachers start the day with a circle with the kids,” he said.

“They have a fun activity, talk about the weekend, how they’re feeling.”

Jim Reiher, Ivan Araujo and Bev Hansen sign the White Ribbon Day oath. 131424 A little girl saying “I’m going to end up in hospital because my husband beats me” stunned the audience.

He said family violence stemmed from gender stereotypes, power imbalances between men and women, and a culture of men resolving conflict with violence.

Mr Reiher said he’d seen widespread improvements in littering, road safety.

“We change attitudes of whole communities,” he said.

The school will continue to collect data throughout the year and conduct a full survey again in 12 months to see how attitudes have changed.

Casey Interfaith Network president and White Ribbon Ambassador Jim Reiher told the breakfast that children witnessed 65 per cent of the family violence committed in Victoria.

He showed a White Ribbon Campaign video featuring children sharing what they wanted to be when they grew up.

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

How much are you spending on your kids this Christmas?

There was a survey on Christmas spending published two years ago, which found that Australians spent around $1000 each on Christmas, and $475 each on gifts. The question of how much is appropriate to spend on your kids is a matter of personal choice.

There are surveys saying we spend around $150 on each child and others that say the figure is closer to $300.

It hardly matters – there are wealthy people who are frugal with gifts to children and there are modest families where Christmas giving is a big thing. Families fall at all points of the spectrum. What matters is that Christmas is a time of enjoyment, not a time for going broke because you’re spending too much.

Here are some tips for families to get Christmas spending right: • Budget: try to make a plan for how much you’re going to spend, and build a budget around the plan. The sooner you make a budget, the better, because it allows you to save some cash. But even starting a budget right now is better than just winging it.

• Party: like it or not, it’s the mums who inevitably run the Christmas dinners, lunches and parties and they can be expensive. If the extended family is coming, mums will benefit from lots of planning and a budget – some things will also be cheaper to buy mid-year than a few days before Christmas.

• Good habits: share your planning with your kids, tell them how you’re buying your gifts within certain price ranges so you can stay within budget. This is a really practical way

to teach children the value of money and the benefits of planning.

• Gifting: Christmas is a busy, expensive and stressful time for many mums, but it’s also a special time of giving and sharing. Making your kids buy gifts for one another (and their grandparents, cousins etc.), and giving them budgets to stay within, makes them focus on giving rather than getting.

• Cash: vow now to stick with cash for Christmas. It makes the New Year so much easier.

• Advice: if you’re in trouble financially, don’t be afraid to reach out and take advice where it’s offered. Many reputable organisations offer financial advice around the Christmas period.

As a final thought, try to make Christmas an enjoyable time of year rather than the prelude to financial stress in the New Year. Make a plan, have a budget and try to do your spending in cash, not on credit.

THE Journal and the City of Greater Dandenong want to light up the city this Christmas.

We’re encouraging residents to string up lights, bring out their inflatable Santas and decorate their lawn with fake snow and festive greetings then take a picture and upload it to the Journal’s Facebook site.

As Councillor Roz Blades said, it’s all about spreading the joy and making strangers smile. “For a number of years I’ve been driving around Greater Dandenong in the evening in early December and seeing some beautifully decorated houses, beautiful lights, reindeers, Father Christmases. “People go to a huge amount

of trouble. It must take them all year to get organised.�

Despite being Jewish, Cr Blades loves how the simple act of stringing up some Christmas decorations can bring communities together. “In terms of community and a multi-cultural community like ours, those are the things that make people happy. “I have a smile to myself when I drive past. Decorating your home is a happy, collegiate thing to do. “It’s nice to acknowledge the spirit of Christmas, the friendship and families sharing time together. “People who decorate their homes are doing some commu-

nity work and they don’t even know. They are making people happy. “Even through I’m not Christian, it’s not about religion, it’s about what people to do make other people happy.�

The council has done its bit to light up the city with a spectacular display of decorations in the new civic square, including a nine-metre high Santa atop one of his reindeer.

Santa will light up the square thanks to hundreds of warm LED lights and a coat of crystal and sequin drops.

TALK about a deep-green immersion.

More than 100 asylum seekers and refugees topped off a six-month sustainability course with a mini-market at Noble Park AMES last week, selling fridge magnets and herb pots made from soft-drink bottle parts, and doorstoppers from recycled newspapers and fabrics.

The AMES clients, with the help of an Environment Victo-

ria grant, also sold second-hand clothes, hosted a rubbish-free picnic and a supermarket reusable bag exchange as part of the Home Planet project.

AMES teacher Julie Holland said the aim was to give asylum seekers, many of whom are still learning basic English, an applied lesson in sustainability.

She said the students were also spreading the word to their friends and families.

“We have about 120 clients involved but in the end, you

could say there are about 300 ‘students’ learning from the program.”

Along the way they’ve collected litter, toiled in the AMES community garden, visited a recycling plant, timed their showers and cooked sustainable foods - which means essentially non-packaged and non-processed delicacies.

“They’re just so excited about the market,” Ms Holland said.

“This is applied learning.”

Black mark for hoons

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A PUBLIC meeting has been called over the blight of hoons carving tyre-track circlework into Dandenong North streets.

Rusmir Hadzic, who lives above his Sarajevo restaurant in Dunearn Street, is fuming over the high-revving and screeching rubber at night.

On a drive-around his surrounding streets, there are plenty of fishtail and burnout marks fresh and old - including a circle of thick rubber at a Gladstone Road intersection.

A long weaving trail of tyre marks on Gladstone Road mock a nearby road safety camera warning sign.

Mr Hadzic has plenty of concerns to air at the meeting, which is due to be hosted by councillors John Kelly and Maria Sampey with Greater Dandenong police inspector Bruce Kitchen.

Mr Hadzic showed the Journal where he has found discarded needles, drug dealing, hard rubbish and graffiti tags in the near-

Rusmir Hadzic and Maria Sampey check out hoon geometry at Gladstone Road. 131486 Picture: GARY SISSONS by playground and alleyway.

He said there was a bloody noontime brawl in September between three young males wielding hammers, knives and machetes outside his shop.

When pressed for solutions, Mr Hadzic said he wanted CCTV surveillance and more police patrols.

Inspector Kitchen last week said tasking units and Highway Patrol would target hoon activity in the area surrounding Gladstone Road.

He warned hoons and other risk-taking drivers they faced stiff fines, demerit-points and having their vehicles impounded for 30 days.

“My message for hoon drivers

is this - think of the consequences,” Inspector Kitchen said.

“Being caught by police having your car or motorbike taken away is the best possible scenario.

“Your second and worst option is to drive dangerously, crash and kill a friend, family member, yourself or other innocent road users.”

IN BRIEF Dusk to dust

Inspector Kitchen said residents should immediately report hoon activity that is endangering lives to triple zero.

Cr Kelly, who instigated the meeting, said there were streets where “you can’t see the bitumen” for the skidmarks.

He said the council was at “the pointy end” of implementing by-laws that would allow police to fine groups of hoons gathering at night.

“I’m not saying that the council can fix the problem. It’s great Bruce is putting up his hand to speak to residents.”

Cr Sampey, fresh from surveying Mr Hadzic’s concerns, said it was a chance for residents to voice their public-safety issues.

She cited the vandals regularly damaging the boom gates at Jan Wilson Community Centre.

The public meeting is at 6.30pm on Wednesday at Uniting Church Hall, corner Holly and Birch avenues, Dandenong North.

Jail threat after puppies stolen in animal swap A WOMAN last week stood accused of stealing two Staffordshire-cross puppies - after surrendering three kittens - to a Keysborough animal shelter.

Naomi Knowles, 39, with an accomplice, pleaded guilty to entering the shelter’s puppy area and stashing the young dogs in a shoulder bag while staff housed the kittens in February last year.

Police told Dandenong Mag-

istrates’ Court on Monday last week that Knowles and her colleague retrieved their cat carrier before leaving in a “brisk manner”.

Police found the puppies after searching the accused’s address.

On Monday, Knowles also pleaded guilty to charges over acting as a look-out while her boyfriend stole a heart-shaped pendant at Eureka Tower’s sou-

venir shop and as an accomplice during the theft of a $2500 18-carat gold bangle from a Springvale jewellery shop last year.

The mother of a four-monthold son was also charged with drink-driving at .06, unlicensed driving, and driving an unregistered vehicle in Heatherton in February.

Defence lawyer Siva Kandasamy, in asking for a sus-

pended sentence, said Knowles committed the thefts - valued at nearly $3000 - to support her drug habit.

He said all items - but for the bangle - had since been recovered and that her previous criminal history involved traffic matters rather than theft.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen convicted Knowles with a suspended two month jail term, a $700 fine and disqualified her

CEMETERIES in Springvale and Bangholme are offering twilight services.

Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust said twilight burials and cremations started in response to community requests.

Attendees can remain on-site until gates close at 8pm.

The services will be offered until 27 February when daylight becomes insufficient to complete evening burials.

Safe stolen THIEVES stole a safe from a home in Clapham Avenue, Springvale, about 6pm on Thursday 20 November.

Witnesses saw two olive-skinned men flee the scene and drive away in a white Toyota station wagon.

Gate glow

from driving for 16 months.

“You’ve got a very young child - the chance of going to jail or a community-corrections order is very problematic,” Mr Vandersteen said.

“When you hold your son in your arms... and facing jail - it’s simply not worth it.

“As a parent, you really need to have yourself sorted out.”

- Cam Lucadou-Wells

POLICE are appealing for information about a deliberately-lit fire in Springvale South.

Residents in Clarke Road called the CFA about 12.45am on Monday 17 November after discovering that a wooden gate at the front of a home was on fire.

Investigators determined that an accelerant was used to start the blaze.

The new Clovelly 276 has generous 27.6 squares, for buyers who prefer a larger home.

It will suit a 14 x 32 metre block and includes a walk-in linen closest as well as a walk-in pantry and generous bedrooms.

NEW HOMES & LAND

RAY SHINES WHITE LIGHT ON FESTIVE Ray White Noble Park has partnered with the Noble Park Rotary Club to deliver an inspiring Christmas campaign for disadvantaged children who may need a little extra light in their festive season.

The Little Ray of Giving campaign launched across Australia and New Zealand today (1 December) with residents being asked to dig deep to put smiles on the faces of some special children in their community.

The gift drive was a simple way to help put a smile on the face of children and families who may need some extra cheer at this time of year, said Ray White’s director Allison Grant.

“All you need to do is wrap up your present and drop it under the tree in our office.

"Tell the Ray White team if the gift is for a boy or girl, nominate an age group and your gift will be delivered by the team at Rotary to a child who will appreciate the lift to their festive season,” Allison said.

Ray White Noble Park/Springvale, located at 42 Douglas Street, Noble Park, has a special giving tree in its front window to collect gifts for children and families who will be doing it tough this festive season.

“It’s a really simple way to put a smile on the face of a young child who might otherwise go without this Christmas,” director Graeme Oldmeadow said.

“Sometimes just a small gift can make the biggest difference to families who are struggling at an expensive time of year.”

Ray White has run this initiative across Australia and New Zealand each December since 2012. Last year alone almost 3000 gifts were donated across 55 offices and delivered to children in need across Australia.

Contact Stacey Cameron or Sarah McGlone at Ray White Noble Park/ Springvale on 9547 0000.

WINNING DEAL FOR FIRST HOME BUYERS Who would’ve thought that first home buyers could afford a 21 square four bedroom home with two living areas.

Not only that but the home is built by an award winning builder and is located beside the award winning Cardinia Lakes community in Pakenham.

SJD Homes is offering a very limited number of house and land packages at Cardinia Views estate for just $333,900 for first home buyers.

These great value packages allow buyers to ditch the standard laminate benchtops as they include SJD Homes’ bonus offer, for December only, of luxurious stone benchtops, plus 2700mm ceilings, 900mm upright cooker and driveway.

While many first home buyers are limited to postage stamp blocks due to affordability, SJD Homes’ house and land

packages offer great value with generous sized blocks.

Within walking distance to neighbourhood parklands, Cardinia Views estate is a fully planned community, which is conveniently located near an array of local amenities and offers tranquil open spaces and magnificent countryside views.

Home sites range from 400-1000 square metres which allows for a great home design to suit lifestyle and still have room for a good sized backyard.

SJD Homes has finance advice available and its sales team can show their various block and floorplan design options.

As this year’s HIA Herald Sun Home Magazine Readers Choice Award winners, SJD’s homes speak for themselves.

NEW HOMES & LAND

HOME IS A HILLTOP HAVEN WHEN Doug and Julie moved into their new home in Clyde North estate Circa 1886 earlier this month they popped the cork on a bottle of Moet and celebrated with family and friends.

However the couple, who were the first to move into the Grices Road estate on 22 November, didn’t have to worry about disturbing the neighours because, for the moment, there aren’t any.

The couple, who are eagerly anticipating their retirement, have downsized after bringing up five children in a large family home in Berwick Springs.

Doug and Julie were drawn to Circa because of its beautiful elevated location overlooking the Clyde countryside, large blocks and the connection the estate has with the history of the working farm on which it sits.

“We loved the height, sitting at the top of the hill,” said Doug.

“The views are beautiful and the park is unique.

“Living across the road from something like that was a huge attraction.

“There is also the old homestead. Plenty of old and plenty of new.”

The Circa Park was inspired by the work of

LAST BLOCKS IN STAGE 20 FROM NEW CIRCA RESIDENTS JULIE AND DOUG WITH ARDEN SALES MANAGER WARREN DIBBLE AND PASK GROUP REPRESENTATIVE DEAN PASK. W.R. Guilfoyle, designer of the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens.

The one-hectare park, which was finished before residents arrived, is a modern interpretation of the botanical gardens and complements the property’s historic Eyrecourt homestead which was built in 1886.

Doug and Julie built their new house through Arden Homes. They looked at many displays before walking into Arden’s award-winning Milan 29 and instantly falling in love.

The Milan 29 won a HIA home of the year award in 2014.

The project reunited them with Arden Homes sales manager Warren Dibble who sold the couple their home in Berwick Springs 13 years previously.

“The home had that wow

factor,” said Julie.

“Open plan was a must for us and it was just what I wanted.”

“Building both times with Arden has been a blessing,” added Doug.

“It has been a steady course and they finished three weeks ahead of time.”

Stage three of Circa 1886 is selling fast. October was the highest selling month since the sale of blocks began.

Developer Pask Group has a proven track record in the Berwick area, having successfully developed Eden Rise shopping Centre, Eden Rise Estate and Affinity.

The Circa sales office is at 211 Grices Road, Clyde North.

It’s an architect designed home ofering afordable luxury, space and light and a range of innovative features.

The sun court, for instance, actually increases the usable interior space and floods the living areas with light. Or as the judges said: “A very open home that gives the impression it is bigger than it actually is.

“Excellent workmanship, attention to detail and a feeling of spaciousness.” – HIA Judges

You can sense the diference immediately with generously proportioned spaces that flow together naturally to create vistas and extended views with picture windows usually only found in more expensive homes.

The high level of luxury inclusions also caught the eye of the judges who said the Caesarstone benches, Franke sinks and Smeg appliances “represent value for money”.

The overall style and elegance of this four bedroom home is typified by the raised ceiling above the dining area.

Link to the past

By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS A NEW Springvale road will pay tribute to a town visionary.

Lindsay Williams Crossing is the name for the link connecting Lightwood Road and Sandown Road, just east of Warwick Avenue, which was created during the Springvale level crossing removal project.

Last week Greater Dandenong Council endorsed the name after consultation with nearby land owners and tenants.

Springvale stalwart Merle Mitchell put forward the name of the first Shire of Springvale town clerk - equivalent to today’s CEO position.

“With the demolition of the HL Williams Court, Lindsay no longer has the

public recognition to which he is very much entitled,” she said.

“Everyone thought because we were ‘the poor end of town’ he would not make a success of it.

“But he did in the most extraordinary way.”

Ms Mitchell said Mr Williams focused on physical infrastructure including roads, footpaths and sewerage.

“Large amounts of money were borrowed to achieve all this but it was money well spent.

“At the same time, Springvale was the only municipality to recognise the importance of pre-school education and as new areas opened up a kindergarten was built - at no cost to the parents.

“In Dandenong, on the other hand, parents had to raise the money for the

building and equipment and, in many cases, the children of those working to raise it were at school before the kindergarten was built.”

Mayor Sean O’Reilly said Mr Williams had a significant role in Springvale’s early planning and oversaw a strong, transparent financial regime at the council.

Councillor Roz Blades said it was fitting that Mr Williams’s name would “continue to live” in Springvale.

He had a “huge persona” and universal respect, she said.

The council will formally apply to the Office of Geographic Place Names for the name to be registered, which requires a further 30-day advertising period and public gazettal.

One home destroyed and another saved FIRE destroyed one home and threatened another in Springvale South last week.

The CFA was called to the blaze in Sharon Road about 1.10am on Monday 24 November.

The Dandenong and Springvale crews arrived to find three quarters of an unoccupied house on fire and the neighbouring property’s carport also in fire.

Springvale station officer Andy Waterson co-ordinated an aggressive attack to save the adjoining home, which belonged to an elderly couple.

He called for an additional pumper and a Melbourne Fire Brigade vehicle responded.

The CFA evacuated some nearby houses as a precaution until the fire was extinguished about an hour after the callout.

Ambulance paramedics responded with a health team to assess exhausted firefighters, and police and power and gas companies also attended.

The fire’s cause is still under investigation.

IN BRIEF Man stabbed A MAN was stabbed in the shoulder during a dispute in Noble Park last week.

The argument occurred at a unit block in Alamein Street about 2.25am on 23 November.

Greater Dandenong CIU said the man was taken to Dandenong Hospital but his condition was not serious.

Cat burglar THIEVES have stolen $30,000 in equipment from a Keysborough building site.

A six-month-old Cat excavator and five buckets went missing from a premise under construction on Westwood Boulevard between 3.30pm on 17 November and 6.30am on 18 November.

Driver attack

Firefighters battle the blaze.

Picture: KEITH PAKENHAM - CFA

THIEVES assaulted a woman and stole her car outside a Springvale restaurant.

The victim, 25, returned to her car from the Angkor Reach Restaurant in Buckingham Avenue about 10.30am on 6 November.

Two dark-skinned men approached, opened the driver’s door, pulled her out and drove away. Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Santa quiet time SENSITIVE Santa returns to Dandenong Plaza this Christmas ensuring children with special needs don’t miss the opportunity to interact with Father Christmas.

Sensitive Santa offers children with sensory sensitivities such as autism and their families the opportunity to meet Santa in a gentle and safe environment, giving families the chance to capture special Christmas memories that may otherwise not have been possible.

Dandenong Plaza manager Mark Tannahill said management company GPT understood that the bustling and noisy environment of shopping centres, which was only heightened during the festive season, could be incredibly over-

whelming for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families.

“We wanted to provide these families with an opportunity to meet Santa in a calm and controlled environment, alleviating the stress associated with being in a hyperactive environment,” Mr Tannahill said.

Amaze (former Autism Victoria) CEO Fiona Sharkie welcomed the partnership with Dandenong Plaza GPT. “Amaze believes that every child has the right to participate in all community activity.

“We thank GPT for sharing this vision by creating an ASD friendly Santa experience so children with

IN BRIEF Highway rob

Eleven-year-old Henry meets Sensitive Santa at Picture: ROB CAREW Dandenong Plaza. 111948

POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a robbery on Princes Highway, Dandenong, earlier this month.

A 33-year-old woman crossed the road near the Ibis hotel about 1.45am on 13 November.

Two men approached her when she reached the median strip and asked her for a cigarette.

They then demanded money, grabbed her and knocked her to the ground. The thieves fled with cash towards Jones Road.

Puffed up over perlite

By CASEY NEILL

Graeme Raper with handfuls of perlite. 131108 Picture: ROB CAREW “And we will use about one tenth of the energy, we produce zero waste versus our competitors in the industry produce about 10 to 20 per cent wastages.”

Perlite is purchased by the tonne.

“We’re 25 per cent lighter and selling for the same price - we’ve just saved them 25 per cent,” he said.

The new product will speed up the filtration process by 20 to 30 per cent.

“They end up with at least the same quality of filtered wine - at least, and we’ve had some companies say it is better,” he said.

Mr Raper said most wine-used filter aids were recycled.

“And that’s transported by the tonne.

So now their cost of transport is reduced,” he said.

The same goes for transporting industrial products made with the lighter form of perlite.

Mr Raper’s perlite is mined in Far North Queensland, where there’s a 200plus year supply.

Heated to about 1000 degrees in a furnace it expands 10 to 20 times its original volume.

CHISHOLM Institute is Australia’s Large Training Provider of the Year.

The Dandenong-based TAFE received the Australian Training Award at a gala ceremony in Adelaide on Friday 21 November.

It was among three finalists following its successful win in the category at the Victorian Training Awards in September.

“This award recognises our strategic planning and reflects our commitment to effectively engage with the community and industry and forge enduring partnerships within the south east and beyond,” Chisholm CEO Maria Peters said.

“It recognises the VET sector, a sector within education that is not well understood and has a significant impact on the economy and society.

“Quality vocational education and training develops practical skills, technical knowledge and offers important pathways to careers for the ongoing development of our workforce, growth in industry and the economic sustainability.”

GRAEME Raper takes a rock called perlite, crushes it and superheats it until it puffs up.

“It’s exactly like making popcorn,” he said.

In its puffed form, the mineral can filter beer and wine, whiten teeth, provide fire protection and more. Mr Raper bought Dandenong manufacturer Exfoliators 19 years ago and is now embarking on a project that will deliver eight new jobs, increase exports to Asia and save customers time, money, energy and waste.

He last month received a $250,000 Investing in Manufacturing Technology (IMT) grant from the State Government to install a $1.2 million-plus plant.

“When I bought the business versus now, what we did in a year in terms of sales we now do in a week,” he said.

“The new plant will give us up to 100 per cent growth again.”

The equipment will produce two types of the finest grade of perlite.

“Each one of those particles is 70 microns. The average hair size, one piece of hair is 100 microns across,” Mr Raper said.

“One will be targeted as a filtering media in wine, beer and pharmaceuticals, and a filler in pharmaceuticals.

“The other will be targeted as an industrial filler in a whole range of lightweight concretes, lightweight jointing compounds, renders.

“The product’s advantage and what the plant’s about is making products of a quality and consistency that have never ever been seen in Australia before.

The process transforms it from a sandlike rock to a lightweight product that looks like a rice bubble to the naked eye.

“If you look at that under a microscope, each piece of that under a microscope looks very much like a piece of kitchen sponge,” Mr Raper said.

“It’s full of holes and pores and voids.”

It’s heavily used in horticulture. In soil perlite holds air and up to five times its weight in water “like a piece of kitchen sponge” and releases water when the plants need it.

In industrial fillers, render and similar products it’s lightweight, holds moisture and air, is noise absorbent and improves fire and insulation ratings.

Ships that carry LPG are insulated with perlite, and the mineral is the polishing agent in some whitening toothpastes.

Exfoliators isn’t just about perlite. It also works with another mineral called vermiculite, which comes in flat flakes.

“Whereas perlite expands spherically, vermiculate expands longitudinally,” Mr Raper said.

“We make passive fire protection sprays that get sprayed on structural steel and concrete to insulate them from fire.”

Vermiculite is used in brake linings, in soil, as a lightweight filler - and as cat litter.

“It’s very absorbent. It has massive natural odour control,” he said.

“When the cat’s finished with the product the best thing you can do with it is go and dig it into your garden.

“There’s a massive array of uses for two very simple products from Mother Nature.”

Oun’s plugged into solar

By CASEY NEILL OUN Chao has lofty goals for his career in the electrical industry.

“I want to be the go-to guy for solar,” he said.

The 23-year-old was the Youth Enterprise Award nominee at Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce’s final Premier Regional Business Awards breakfast for the year which was held at Sandown Greyhound Racing Track last Wednesday 26 November.

Attendees donated non-perishable food items to the Springvale Benevolent Society and committee member Roy Sanderson presented Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Anna Hays with a cheque for $7000 raised at the chamber’s Grand Final Luncheon in September.

Objective 3D and Exova Warringtonfire were named nominees for the Premier Regional Business Award.

Oun comes from a hard-working Cambodian family and between his studies helps at its business - the Woori Yallock Bakery.

He’s studying a certificate III in electrotechnology at Chisholm in Dandenong and has his sights set on a certificate II in telecommunications, certificate III in electrical contracting and a certificate IV in photovoltaic (PV) solar generation.

Oun said he regularly read articles about solar electricity.

“That’s the next step in our technology,” he said. “They’re building solar everything.”

His interest in electricity came from his foam plane hobby – he understood the physics of flight and wanted to understand electricity in the same way.

His goal is to become an electrical contractor, run his own business and pass his skills on to an apprentice.

Managing director Matt Minio and technical director Darryl Wootton started Objective 3D in Carrum Downs four years ago when the opportunity to be a Stratasys 3D printer Australian distributor arose.

Mr Minio said the move fol-

Oun Chao was the Youth Enterprise Award nominee. lowed “a healthy burst of insanity” but his only regret was not doing it sooner.

Objective 3D has grown from two to 15 employees and expects 30 per cent growth year on year for the next three to five years.

The company also services 3D printers and offers printing services.

The printers can produce skateboards, dental moulds, hearing aids, race car parts and much more.

Exova Warringtonfire in Hammond Road, Dandenong, started in the early 1990s.

The business tests materials and products to strict Australian and international standards, including fire doors, windows and road tunnel lining.

It has a $9 million turnover, last year experienced growth of 19 per cent and expects 10 per cent growth consistently.

Thinking outside the box for TV sales “TERRY Wallace needs no introduction, so he’s not gonna get one. Terry Wallace, please come forward.”

And with that invitation to the podium from MC James Sturgess, the former AFL player and coach and guest speaker kicked off his presentation.

Wallace had just turned 19 when a third AFL club told him he wasn’t good enough to play at the elite level.

Seven months later he played his best game of the year pitted against two Brownlow medallists to secure a premiership medal.

“That’s how quickly

Terry Wallace. things can turn around,” he said.

Wallace was the inaugural state sales manager for Sky Channel for nine years during his playing career.

He told the breakfast it was “a crap product” but he

had to convince pubs and clubs to pay $250 a week for it.

“We had to think outside the square,” he said.

“What we ended up doing was selling Kerry Packer.”

He’d just purchased the satellite network and was bound to make improvements, Wallace told customers.

“We didn’t sell them a product. We sold them a dream,” he said.

Wallace left sales after nine years, landing a fulltime footy role coaching the Bulldogs in 1996.

They went from 15th on

the ladder to third in his first full year at the helm.

He decided not to follow other clubs into the 1997 season mimicking 1996 flagwinner North Melbourne’s tactic of slowly building its season and peaking in September.

His side started summer “at a million miles an hour” and won seven of its first eight games.

“Our confidence was up,” he said. “When a team wins a premiership it’s follow the leader.

“If you follow the leader then how are you going to catch them?”

- Casey Neill

It's the tops for pizza team after taste of victory

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS TASTE of Paradise Pizza boasts, perhaps brazenly, it has the ‘best pizza on Earth’ but as of last week it could rightfully claim itself as Dandenong’s premier retailer.

The pizzeria’s Jason Adams and Yasleem Lathif took celebratory selfies as they held up the prestigious trophy for Dandenong Retail Traders Association top retailer award.

Owner Suda Perera, who opened the store 19 years ago, was absent overseas for the announcement.

The Sri Lankan migrant and trained civil engineer turned his hand to flipping dough after failing to get work in his preferred field.

After a few years, he formed his own business baking such exotica as tandoori Indian and spicy fish pizzas, all with Halal ingredients.

Mr Lathif, the pizzeria’s manager, is a qualified accountant. He said he’d stuck with the store for

nine years because he liked talking to people and the high-energy, fun staff.

He said the eatery has had a second life - churning 350 out pizzas a day - since adding indoor dining tables and a bold, bright shopfront.

Indeed, its bright, new yellow sign ‘Halal pizza’ is impossible to miss for passers-by at the top-end of Clow Street.

The ‘Halal’ branding was a drawcard that appealed to stomachs of all faiths, Mr Lathif contends.

This year’s awards was one of the hottest contests, with 21 nominee businesses and 2000 votes collected.

The final decision - while factoring in the popular vote - was a decision of the DRTA committee, president Glenys Cooper said.

The other finalists were Odils Hair and Beauty, Crystal Foot Spa, Nails and Beauty, Liberica Coffee and Modica Travel Service.

Prime Lamb… it’s a steal!

By JARROD POTTER A TRIO of Dandenong Stingrays have traded in their TAC Cup jerseys as the bright lights of the Australian Football League (AFL) beckon.

Stingrays’ captain Jack Lonie, Tom Lamb and Bailey Dale all received their tickets to the big time with their selections in Thursday’s AFL National Draft, held on the Gold Coast.

Dandenong Stingrays coach Craig Black was thrilled to get the three players into the AFL and wished them the best of luck from everyone at Shepley Oval.

“It’s exciting for everyone involved in our program to let kids get half way to their dream,” Black said.

“The support staff and the coaching group at the Stingrays are proud of all the hard work the boys put in and their efforts around the club this year and we wish these boys the best in their AFL careers.”

Lamb was the first Stingray to hear

his name called, with the West Coast Eagles putting the high-marking, elite utility onto its main-list with the 32nd pick, a lower number than Black predicted the Edithvale-Aspendale livewire would go, but as a consolation he thinks Lamb could become the steal of the draft.

“I think Tom was a really good pick for West Coast - everyone thought he might have gone a little earlier - so he might be a steal to come back in a few years,” Black said.

“Tom might have gone a little earlier, but that was just hearing the phantom drafts and the newspapers.”

On the hunt for another small forward, St Kilda also called out a Dandenong Stingrays’ name and changed Jack Lonie’s life as the Saints used its last pick - pick 41 - to secure the crumbing forward’s services in 2015 and beyond.

The final Stingray to hear his name called was another Edithvale-Aspendale emerging star as midfielder/forward Bailey Dale who will head to the Western

Bulldogs with pick 45.

“It’s really good that Jack got an opportunity and to St Kilda… he’s only five minutes from home… Bailey to the Bulldogs, another club that’s looking for that sort of player (small midfielder/forward)… Bailey was great for us in our system for one season.”

Black thought the likes of Daniel Capiron, Aaron Wilson, Alex Harnett and Mitch White all stand a chance for a potential AFL career with the AFL Rookie Draft set to take place on Wednesday.

“I thought Cap deserved an opportunity,” Black said.

“He’s been a really good player for two years and shows all the attributes to be a really good footballer, so the club hopes he gets a chance in the Rookie Draft on Wednesday.”

Narre Warren North JFC alumnus Toby Mclean was also picked in the draft, the wily midfielder/forward was selected by the Western Bulldogs with pick 26.

Tom Lamb was the first of three Stingrays to begin their AFL journeys on Thursday night at the AFL National Draft. 123786 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Extraordinary talent… and it’s off the air

Launching their 2015 season, the Dandenong Wolves FC committee - From left; Atila M, Ilker Berber, Aydin Isci, Marc Canbolat, Sinan Akkurt and Cengiz Yakup - is setting a Picture: JARROD POTTER strong tone for the playing group next year. 131681

Wolves on our doorstep

By JARROD POTTER RESPECT… discipline… culture - the three main principles Dandenong Wolves FC want to abide by in 2015.

The Noble Park North-based soccer club has already seen great growth in its first four seasons in the Football Federation Victoria (FFV) competition and the Wolves hope to add to the pack next year.

Dandenong Wolves’ senior coach Marc Canbolat said - before Saturday morning’s season launch - the club is ready to take the next step professionally and create a stronger environment for families and players.

“Three simple facets in brief - culture, respect and discipline,” Canbolat said.

“We’re proud to be able to say as a self-awareness of the group that people sitting around the table here today (Saturday) can comfortably look in the

mirror and say we were lacking all those things.

“We wanted them, but maybe weren’t sure how to apply them, and maybe from a lack of over-empathy and too much care for the people within the club, we probably weren’t as strict and stern enough to apply those fundamentals… there can’t be a compromise.

“That’s where the sternness is coming from - we need to make sure everyone is towing the line... we have to live up to those ideals.”

The Wolves - which was started by a group of first generation Turkish people who wanted to play together - want to be known as a premier soccer club within the City of Greater Dandenong in years to come and are taking steps to ensure they live up to their potential.

“We want to be a club that Dandenong can be proud of,”

Canbolat said.

“We’ve got the Thunder (NPL team) which we feel proud of as Dandenong citizens… and we want to live up to similar expectations.

“If everyone is putting in 100 per cent effort for 100 per cent of the time and to do it in a respectful manner as well, that’s all we can ask.”

The Wolves had five senior and junior teams in this year’s FFV competition - with the Wolves senior men squaring off in State League 4 South and the club also hopes to add women’s and girls’ teams in 2015 and welcomes new players from any background.

For more information on the Dandenong Wolves - based out of WJ Turner Reserve, Noble Park North - visit their Facebook page “Dandenong Wolves Dandenong Turkgucu” or contact the club at info@wolvesfc.co.

By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG Rangers’ fans may only be able to watch their WNBL team courtside next season, after ABC funding cuts forced the end of basketball broadcasting.

As a result of federal government cuts to the national broadcaster, the ABC will end its 35-year affiliation with the Women’s National Basketball League, currently leaving women’s sport without significant television broadcasts in 2015 and beyond.

The WNBL grand final, held on Sunday 8 March 2015, will be the last WNBL match to be televised on the ABC. Dandenong Basketball Association CEO David Graham said the decision to abandon three-and-a-half decades of support was disheartening for the basketball community but other options remain to keep the WNBL televised.

“It will hit our sport which is disappointing, but without it being completely devastating,” Graham said.

“They’ve (ABC) been with us for 35 years and to see them announce at this point they won’t do it is disappointing from a promotional point of view.

“But I don’t think the door is completely shut yet - there are still some opportunities out there and that will be Basketball Australia’s point of view to find another platform.

“Whether it be through streaming, packaged highlights or any number of other positive

options to remain with a national broadcaster and promote a major sport.”

Graham said he didn’t believe the loss of the ABC’s telecasts would impose significantly on the Rangers’ sponsorships and external partnerships and there remains a great deal of value to any partnership with Dandenong Rangers’ WNBL team outside of televised coverage.

With the league at the peak of its power featuring a number of WNBA champions and Australian Opals’ stars such as Penny Taylor - Graham said the league deserves to be televised as not many other Australian codes can boast such a high-calibre format on an international scale.

“The WNBL has been a consistent, high level and highly world ranked league for many, many years,” Graham said.

“We have many of the world’s best players playing in this league and that’s forgotten by some.

“In our particular team, Cappie Pondexter and Penny Taylor, two world-ranked basketball players, it does get lost on the broader public and to have those girls in the league shows the particular strength of the sport.

“It is a pretty extraordinary league… to showcase the talents of these women is very important… that is always a highlight and should be for those who turn it on and watch.”

Dandenong has three more home-and-away televised matches - Saturday 20 December at 3pm against Sydney Uni, Saturday 31 January at 3pm (both at home) and Saturday 7 February at State Basketball Centre from 3pm plus any potential finals’ matches.

In a statement on the WNBL website, Basketball Australia CEO Anthony Moore was saddened the affiliation between the league and the ABC would cease at season’s end.

Options for basketball’s telecast future will be announced in upcoming months following the review into the WNBL from the Australian Sports Commission.

SPORT PREMIER CRICKET - Round 8 (Day 1)

United in heartache

By JARROD POTTER ON-FIELD rivals and team mates alike united across Victoria to honour the life of Australian Test cricketer Phillip Hughes.

Keeping his love of cricket alive, the cricket community pulled on the whites and made way to the crease with a heavy heart as everyone put their bats out and honoured Hughes - who tragically passed away on Thursday after an on-field accident in a Sheffield Shield match.

Dazzling blue skies contrasted the sombre feeling around the grounds, but it was fittingly divine intervention for cricketers to get a full day’s play and return to the game that Hughes loved most of all.

With incredible blues tone overhead there was left only cloudy eyes as everyone fought back tears to keep Phillip Hughes’ dream alive.

From that point Dandenong (217) clashed with Footscray-Edgewater (0/33) with hearts and minds not in the game.

A simple 63-second silence in honour of Hughes’ final innings of 63 not out was shared between the Panthers’ and Bulldogs’ players, staff and fans before the first ball.

Hughes’ sudden passing dug at every cricket fan and player, but it weighed heaviest on those who knew him personally or strode to the crease alongside the power-packed Australian Test cricketer.

Phillip’s Test team mate James Pattinson was listed on the Dandenong team sheet, but no one expected him to play as he remains in Sydney to attend the funeral of a friend.

Also suffering the strain of losing a mate, Panthers’ opener Brett Forsyth (3) carried extreme heartache along with his pads and bat as he walked to the crease to open.

Forsyth shared junior representative duties with Hughes and it was to his credit that he continued playing despite the heartbreak surrounding cricket’s worst week.

It wasn’t meant to be Forsyth’s day at the crease - caught out edging Guy Walker early in his innings - and his dismissal brought Peter Sweeney (52) to the crease on a day for Sweeney to shine.

Showing off the talents that earned him first-drop in the Panthers’ line-up, Sweeney toiled to stay at the crease in a dogged 134ball half-ton. Sweeney was brought undone leaving the tail exposed with a small score on the table, but the last ditch efforts of Matt Willcocks (33 not out) and James Wilcock (30) pushed Dandenong out of danger at 8/149 to advance past 200.

Berwick all-rounder Tanner Stanton (11) had his first taste of 1st two-day cricket for the Panthers and will hope to snare a few scalps on Sunday as his 1st XI career continues.

Dandenong and Footscray-Edgewater’s humble tribute to Phillip Hughes before play on Saturday. 131682 Picture: JARROD POTTER Footscray-Edgewater didn’t advance the tally much before stumps as Dandenong could not find a breakthrough.

The match resumed on Sunday

30 November and as the Dandenong Journal went to print Footscray-Edgewater had knocked over Dandenong’s total and were sitting pretty on 5-221.

VSDCA South East 1st XI - Round 5 (Day 2)

Tribute to 63 not out

By JARROD POTTER NOBLE Park and Caulfield put their love of the game above the pursuit of runs, with a humble salute to our recently departed little champion.

Paying honour to Phillip Hughes in their own way, Noble Park and Caulfield first put out their bats and observed a minute’s silence prior to the match before paying homage to the South Australian batsman once more in a sign of immense respect.

With the impeccable timing of a Hughes cutshot, both teams walked from the crease following a slowed-down Rob Johnson (1/27) final over to end the day’s play and the match at 4.08pm to coincide with the 63rd over of the Caulfield innings.

Both of these numbers have great significance to the Hughes story as he is the 408th Australian Test player and finished his career 63 not out at the SCG on Tuesday before his tragic death.

“They agreed they would only bowl five more overs to get to 63 overs,” Noble Park president Craig Ortland said.

“No one thought of the 4.08pm though, but as they were getting closer to it they decided to slow down and finish then... pretty special I suppose... eerie in a way.”

Caulfield had pushed well ahead in the match by the completion, as Leigh Baldry (61 not out) and Adam Warren (27 not out) had the Bulls’ attack on the ropes. Marasinghe Perera (2/46) was the only Noble Park bowler to make an impact and restrict the Caulfield carnage.The loss leaves Noble Park 11th on the ladder and well off the pace in pursuit of back-to-back premierships. The Bulls head to last placed Moorabbin for a twodayer with their season on the line.

Endeavour Hills (240) strolled past Elsternwick (176) with Chris Periera (3/51) the best of the Eagles’ attack. Endeavour Hills will face Oakleigh at home this round in a battle for second spot.

DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - Round 5 (Day 1)

A David versus Goliath battle

By JARROD POTTER SPRAYING 408 on the grounds, wearing black armbands and honouring Phillip Hughes with a minute’s silence, DDCA cricketers set about putting on a show on Saturday to live up to Hughes’ legacy.

CRANBOURNE v COOMOORA A BAKING sun gave best advantage to the bowlers on Saturday, but it didn’t stop three-time Wookey Medallist Steve Spoljaric from cashing in. Coomoora (56) failed to find any fluency in the David versus Goliath battle between the top and bottom sides in Turf 1. Only Michael Blackburn (19) and Michael Temby (15 not out) found double figures as Eagles’ duo Cameron Kelly (5/12) and Spoljaric (3/30) feasted on Kangaroo meat. Even without lightning fast bowler Te Ahu Davis, Cranbourne (4/163dec) proved far too

mighty for the relegation-threatened Kangaroos with the ball in hand.

Coomoora fought back from the bowler’s crease early, snaring three wickets to put Cranbourne on the back foot before a monster Spoljaric (104 not out) set aside any notion of Coomoora’s might. He punished the Kangaroos’ attack before declaring as Kelly (1/2) found another wicket before stumps in Coomoora’s (1/32) second innings.

Cranbourne is on track for backto-back outright victories and consolidating top spot in their first season after regaining promotion to Turf 1.

SPRINGVALE SOUTH v BERWICK A CENTURY and five-wicket haul last week hasn’t seemed to satiate Springvale South (0/4) all-rounder Ruwantha Kellepotha. The spinner was hungry for more scalps as he shone on Saturday, running through the Berwick (215) line-up en route

to 6/72 - to rocket him up the bowling tables with 15 wickets. Kellepotha rattled off 25.1 overs in a fantastic spell of bowling, while Nathan King (1/41) and Tim Ford (1/32) also powered in through the heat.

DANDENONG WEST v PARKFIELD A WHEAL-LY good knock from Parkfield (78) has given the Bears’ ascendancy over Dandenong West.

Kent cricketing import Joe Wheal (78) notched his first half-ton for Parkfield as the visitors pushed towards the double ton. They were restricted ably by Bulls’ duo Jaswant Singh (4/43) and Jamie Brown (2/52). Wheal’s knock slightly deflated the Parkfield effort, but Nilochana Perera (38) and Tony Payne (29) kept the innings ticking. A pair of Matt Aslett (2/15) scalps leaves the match back at a coin flip when Dandenong West will resume at 3/46.

NORTH DANDENONG v MORDIALLOC WITH contributions up and down the order, Mordialloc (6/246cc) stormed to the front against North Dandenong. The bowling tandem Michael de Kauwe (3/46) and Dean Gunawardana (2/49) did their best to halt the Bloodhounds, but the visitors were unmatched on Saturday as they set an imposing 247-run chase.

BUCKLEY RIDGES v LYNDALE SHAKING off their capitulation last week Lyndale (255) flexed its muscles against Buckley Ridges (0/3).

Quyen Pham (73) and Dale Tormey (50) had the Ridges’ attack under their thumb, blasting runs around the postage stamp-sized Park Oval.

Ben Watson (2/28) was economical from his eight overs while Wes Nicholas (1/64) put in a superhuman 28 overs in the searing heat to keep his side in the match.

SPRING FEVER

ROY ASPINALL

Now spring has sprung… the heat is on

Wooranna Park Primary School was unstoppable in the AFL South East Multicultural Cup - winning Picture: GARY SISSONS both the boys’ and girls’ competitions. 131384 sitioning them into the next phase where they can get further involved.

“We’ve crossed one hurdle and a few other ones to get around - transport, finances and so on - but we’re happy with the numbers now getting into their footy.”

JOEY Valdez continued his outstanding form from outside boxes with an ultra-impressive win on Thursday at Sandown Park.

Jumping from box eight, Joey Valdez didn’t show electric pace out of the pink box, however was given room to muster speed and round-up his rivals on the approach to the first bend.

Given Joey Valdez’s ability to finish strong he looked in the box seat down the back straight, three lengths behind early leaders Papa

Hook and Dyna Fancy.

Entering the home straight Joey Valdez unleashed his trademark finishing burst to win by a length, completing the 515-metre trip in a swift 29.52sec.

Trainer Ben Divirgilio was satisfied with the run, however had a range of different confidence levels throughout the race.

“Down the back straight I was confident he was home, then around the final bend I thought he may of been in some trouble,” said Divirgilio.

The win extended Joey Valdez’s unbeaten record from boxes seven and eight, further improving his strike rate having won nine of his 21 career starts.

With heats of the Group 3 Sir John Dillon Memorial to be held this Thursday night over 595 metres, a rise in distance could be imminent for Joey Valdez.

“Ideally I’d like to nominate him in some heats over the sprint distance, however with the Sir John Dillon heats this Thursday night I’m tempted to give him a go.”

THE next generation of Dandenong’s football talent took to Shepley Oval on Wednesday to celebrate their heritage and love of football in the AFL South East Multicultural Cup. Schools from around the greater Dandenong and Casey region - over 100 players in all - kicked and handballed their way through a fantastic day’s play as part of the AFL South East Multicultural Program. With players from a number of different geographic, ethnic and religious backgrounds descending on Dandenong’s premier football oval to get a taste.

“There were over 100 kids participating on the day and that was great,” AFL Victoria Football Development Manager - South East Michael Roberts said.

“It was a six-week program culminating in the event… the standard of play showed how successful the schools inviting us in have been with their health and fitness.

“The kids absolutely love it… we’ve already heard from a number of deputy principals… the kids want to be involved at club level… starting their teams.”

Wooranna Park Primary School was too mighty in both the boys’ and girls’ competitions taking the cup and knocking off the likes of St Paul The Apostle, St Marys Dandenong and Holy Family Doveton.

Roberts believes the first outing for these players in the football environment has been a boon to the Dandenong area and will be reflected in future teams starting up
