Tourist splash ■ Forgotten land to be turned into water fun centre...

Never too old for rock ‘n’ roll

By CASEY NEILL A CABLE water-ski centre could bring 90,000 people to Bangholme each year.

This month Activ will apply for permits to build the $5 million Melbourne Cable Park (MCP) in Riverend Road, adjacent to the National Watersports Centre (NWSC) on Patterson River.

The company has leased a grassed area that the State Government declared surplus to its needs and plans to build lakes for a variety of events including water-skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding.

“It’s the orphan that everybody forgot about,” Activ managing director Ian Clark said.

“For 20 years this has just been grass.”

By the end of the year it could be home to two full lake systems with skate park-like obstacles and circular cable tracks to tow users.

Another two lakes will have what’s known as two-tower systems, which take the user from one side of the lake to the other and are designed for beginners. Mr Clark said construction and operation would not impact usage at NWSC and would complement many existing activities.

Fatal-free fences

IN BRIEF Reserves go to blazes ARSONISTS lit three blazes at two Dandenong reserves in two days.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Tony Lavars believes the same people could be responsible for the fires at Falkiner Crescent and Leonard Street.

Police on patrol spotted smoke coming from Leonard Street just after 3pm on 29 January.

The CFA extinguished the 30-metre by 20metre grass fire, which is being treated as suspicious.

Sen Const Lavars said it could be linked to two fires that were lit in Falkiner Reserve just after 6am on 27 January.

The first burnt a 10m by 10m area and the second covered 50m by 20m before the CFA attended and extinguished the blazes.

“There’s no reason why it would have started on its own so we are treating it as suspicious,” Sen Const Lavars said.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS COUNCILLORS have urgently called for safety fencing between a Dandenong South playground and a floodway that claimed a young boy’s life last year.

City of Greater Dandenong Councillor Jim Memeti is set to lobby for the safety move at the Metro 3175 playground at tonight’s council meeting (Monday).

The parkland off Keneally Street in the Metro 3175 estate overlooks Dandenong Creek’s steep grassy banks for several hundred metres and is unguarded by any fence, railing or warning sign.

Councillor Peter Brown called for fencing to cordon off the park as well as the directly-opposite creekside reserve with a playground and walking track off Dalgety Street.

Cr Brown said he’d first realised in May how “treacherous” the attractive parkland was.

“I was walking in the area.

“It had been raining the night before and the grass was quite slippery,” he said.

“I thought it would take just a kid to slip down the bank and end of story.”

Four months later, about 600 metres upstream, Doveton boy Ishmael Baqaie was swept away and drowned in the creek flushed with stormwaters after slipping down a grass bank at Dandenong Park’s playground.

The playground was enclosed by safety fencing except for a concrete ledge overlooking the bank.

Since last year’s tragic drowning, Greater Dandenong Council has installed extra fencing around the ledge.

For the most part, the creek’s banks in the park are unguarded.

Cr Brown warned the council could well suffer an “adverse find-

Fence jump fire alert

Engineering director Julie Reid said the council was undertaking a review of all of its playgrounds and “considering any reasonable steps that may be required to minimise risks”.

Cr Memeti said the dangers were obvious.

“When I saw the area, alarm bells rang for me.

“Families are going to have barbecues there and stay for a couple of hours. When you’re there for that long you can’t watch your child for every second.”

Cr Angela Long, whose nowadult son as a youngster had a close call in a drainage pit, supported fencing-off playgrounds adjoining

the creek if it was financially feasible.

Cr Matthew Kirwan said playgrounds near the creek should be secured by fences and/or warning signs but fencing off all creek parklands from Mt Dandenong to Port Phillip would be unrealistic.

“I think it is both a case of dealing with areas that are high-risk like playgrounds but also educating residents that the Dandenong Creek is a floodplain.”

He’s also asking for an existing bus route to be extended to include the centre and is working with neighbouring Cornish College on this and other ideas.

The park is in a green wedge zone but Mr Clark said it fitted in with recommended usage and that he would need a water permit because the land was inside an Eastern Treatment Plant buffer.

Jim Dandy row ends badly A FIGHT behind a Dandenong pub has landed two men in hospital.

They started arguing in Garnar Lane, behind the Jim Dandy Hotel, just before 3am on Saturday 31 January.

The verbal stoush escalated to an assault.

An 18-year-old man was taken to The Alfred hospital with head injuries and a 58-yearold man was treated for head injuries at Dandenong Hospital.

Firefighters bin there ARSONISTS set fire to a rubbish bin in Dandenong just after 1am on 31 January.

Residents from units at 60 Clow Street noticed flames coming from the bin on the property and called the CFA, which extinguished the blaze.

Police urged anyone with information about the above incidents to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Wetsuit division chairman Michael Ray said the company currently used similar facilities overseas for product development and photo shoots.

“We don’t want to impact existing users,” he said.

He said solar panels would power the cable systems, which each use as much electricity as two washing machines.

He said it was an environmentally sustainable way to water-ski and would open the sport to people who had previously been excluded by the need for a boat.

A NEIGHBOUR came to the rescue of a 70-year-old Springvale woman whose garage went up in flames.

They saw fire coming from the Lee Avenue property about 2am on 29 January, jumped their fence into the victim’s backyard and alerted her to the blaze.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Tony Lavars said the woman lived alone.

The CFA contained the fire to the garage, he said, and its cause was suspicious given the time and the fact it had no electricity supply.

School’s nun ran some whacky concerts JACK JOHNSON IS THE AUTHOR OF WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES, A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN DANDENONG, HIS YEARS TENDING TO THE CITY’S PIPES AND DRAINS AS A PLUMBER AND BRINGING UP A FAMILY WITH WIFE FRANCES IN THEIR BELOVED HOME IN MACPHERSON STREET. FOR years, school concerts at the first St Mary’s Primary School were held in the part of the school with the stage and classrooms with folding walls.

When the area became too small for the growing number of students they moved to the town hall.

Our early school concerts at the first town hall we will always remember.

The first one I recall celebrated the Jubilee Year in 1935.

Mother Domenic and Sisters Leo and Carmel marched us down Langhorne Street to the hall.

We entered through a gate in Walker Street between the hall buildings and the weatherboard Mechanics’ Institute hall, built in 1863, that still remained as the hall keeper’s residence.

JACK LOOKS

BACK JACK JOHNSON

We crossed the yard and entered through a doorway near the original stage.

Here we were drilled many times over for our approaching concert performances.

Sister Carmel, our music teacher, played the town hall piano while we did our physical jerks with wooden dumbbells that were painted silver.

We rehearsed for a couple weeks before the actual night.

On the day of the concert the youngest of the kids were sent home from school at lunchtime to have an afternoon nap so they could cope with the late night.

My brother Nipper got kicked out of the minuet by Sister Leo for not pointing his toe correctly.

He also got a few whacks around his legs when referred on to Mother Domenic who had a leather strap cut from a thick piece of horse harness.

The reason he would not point his toe was because he did not get to partner the girl of his choice.

She lived in New Street and was one of Jinnie’s best mates.

He told me that being her partner was the only reason he agreed to wear those poncey buckled shoes, funny pants and that frilly, sissy shirt.

Later on, when I got to Grades 7 and 8, Mother Anthony, Mother Domenic’s successor, had an even bigger and better strap from which I copped a hell of a lot of painful wallopings, many of them caused by my mad mates.

My children were the fourth generation of our family to have an association with the Dandenong town hall.

But it would be decades later, and in the second hall when they would also take part in their school concerts.

The original 1890s hall that we experienced ran in line with Lonsdale Street but when altered in 1940 it ran

parallel with Walker Street.

We saw our first movies in the old hall and many stage shows from which we gained our initial appreciation of the performing arts and of beautiful music.

As we became adults much of our social life revolved around the old hall.

We learned to dance in classes in the supper room.

My sister Jinnie made her debut there and later had her wedding reception in the 1940s hall.

We went to our first dances with friends from our childhood and met many new ones from the surrounding districts.

Some of us met life partners there.

LOOKING BACK Doubtless it will be to the advantage of the young men of the town when a drill hall is erected in Dandenong, One of the most important features, of course, being the opportunity thus provided whereby our soldier lads will have an opportunity of putting in night drill.

One of our readers contributes the following lines on the subject of the Drill Hall.

“Are the councillors dead?

Perhaps they’re not dead but slumbering.

Or is it that they, like figures of clay, Care not what we lose by sheer blundering.

Some months ago quite, They were asking for a site To build a drill hall for our city The letter was read.

The councillors said They had, none to spare,

flights of ducks, and while shooting on the bay is impractical (you can’t get close enough to them, and no duck is going to commit suicide) they must come in off the bay at night for fresh water. It is then - and at first crack of dawn - that shooters get their chance.

T'was a pity.

Then the council did say In a half-hearted way, We’ll see what we have to offer And now you believe The Hall we’ll receive, I hope, sir, that you’re right There will be honor for you, But the council's share will be light.“

20 years ago 13 February 1995 Fire victims vow to help others

50 years ago 10 February 1965 You can shoot at ducks soon The 1965 duck shooting season, which opens on 20 February, promises to be the best for many years around these parts.

The season opens at 5am that day and indications are that a record number of guns will blaze away on opening morning.

A check on recognised duck swamps, marshes and rivers around Westernport Bay indicates a successful opening.

On the bay, fishermen have put up huge

Trying to help others was the only way fire victim Lee Watson knew how to fight back.

Days after the family’s Belfort Avenue home in Dandenong West was virtually destroyed and still homeless, Lee, husband Mark and their three children made plans to start a support group for fire victims and donate some of their gifts to other families in need.

The family has arranged to donate what they can via the police at Williamstown but would also like to establish a more permanent system.

Court arrest

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A DANDENONG man was arrested and his home raided by police on Monday soon after he left court on bail for drugs charges.

An ashen-faced Jacob Bentley then unsuccessfully reapplied for bail in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court later that day, denying newly laid trafficking charges and claiming he’d “done well” on a CREDIT bail program in recent months.

Bentley, who represented himself, said he’d cut down on his ‘ice’ use “a lot”.

Magistrate Barry Schultz, who’d overseen Bentley’s matter earlier that day, said the CREDIT bail program was designed to help the accused get “some scores on the board”.

“I’m far from impressed,” Mr Schultz said.

“There are reports of progress on the CREDIT bail program. This appears to be a step back,” Mr Schulz said of the new charges.

Mr Schultz said Bentley was unable to “show cause” for bail due to his risk of committing further offences.

Constable Matthew Reid of Greater Dandenong police’s Drug Taskforce told the court that Bentley was arrested as he left court that morning.

A female friend, who was with Bentley at the time, was overheard speaking by phone to Bentley’s mother. The friend allegedly tipped off the mother of an imminent drug raid on the house and to remove a ‘Makita’

Help finalise a name for our

container from Bentley’s room.

During the raid, police found the drug paraphernalia, deal bags of a substance believe to be ‘ice’ and a set of scales as well as the Makita container.

It held $550 cash and four deal bags of what was believed to be ‘ice’.

Bentley had been on bail since being charged with trafficking cannabis, ‘ice’ and amphetamines, possessing Tasers and proceeds of crime in July.

Const Reid said Bentley had no previous criminal history but his recent offending was similar to his alleged offences last year.

Bentley was remanded in custody until a mention hearing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Tuesday 10 February).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WHAT is happening to our parks and open spaces? (Open Space Could Be Council Cash Cow, Journal, 2 February).

The land around our homes is shrinking, being gobbled up by units and high rise apartments, with very little or no yards.

So with so much development happening within the City of Greater Dandenong, why is the council deciding to sell off more of our precious open

spaces? In particular Glendale Reserve in Springvale North.

This area is lacking in open spaces/parklands, and with only a ratio of 1.4 hectares per 1000 residents, when it should be 4.5 hectares per 1000 residents.

This is totally unacceptable!

By removing the old dilapidated kindergarten and Scout hall abutting Glendale Reserve, how much better would this be for all the community?

Minaret College clearly owns land that can be used for a kindergarten. Is it the land they

want or the old Scout hall and old kindergarten? People within this area want and need a place for outdoor activities.

Children especially need exercise, fresh air and a place to socialise, not confined to inside or a small yard where they can’t run around.

And with the new kindergarten being built at Springvale Rise Primary School, I don’t see a need for council to sell off our public parklands.

Peta Rose, Dandenong.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING RE: Open Space Could Be Council Cash Cow Having four children myself I do understand the value of kindergarten places but children, adolescents and adults all benefit from green, open spaces.

With housing in Springvale becoming more dense it is vital that we care for our parklands, not sell them off.

Amanda McCracken, via web.

CHANDLER Park Primary School welcomed new parents and children to the Keysborough school with activities and entertainment last Tuesday.

They’d come over from Maralinga Primary School to start the school year - a move that was five years in the making.

The schools merged in 2010 but had been operating across the two school campuses while it waited for funding for an upgrade at Chandler Park to accommodate all students.

Principal Peter Paul closed Maralinga so the site could be sold and the cash made available for the upgrade.

MORE than just a relationship was wrecked during a domestic altercation in the Dandenong Plaza car park.

On Monday last week Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard that a man’s recent ex-

girlfriend rammed his car in the car park in January last year.

In his haste to escape, the man lost control of his car as he accelerated and he crashed into another person’s car. Both vehicles were written off.

The man - whose licence was suspended at the time - didn’t stay to exchange details with the innocent victim.

Given he’d already paid a price for the loss of his car and the “unusual circumstances“, the magistrate convicted and fined the man $400.

Funds lifeline

By CASEY NEILL

SPRINGVALE Benevolent Society has welcomed a month’s extra funding from the Federal Government - a ray of hope after losing its $70,000 lifeline.

But other groups providing emergency relief in Greater Dandenong remain fearful that Department of Social Services (DSS) cuts will hurt a municipality already struggling to help its needy.

The Journal reported on 26 January that the society had missed out on the DSS funding it had been receiving for the past 20 years.

Last week, president Joe Rechichi said the department had guaranteed his funding for an extra month, until the end of March.

“For them to do that, they haven’t made up their mind of what they’re going to do, I think,” he said.

“I feel they maybe haven’t got a transition agency in the City of Greater Dandenong.

“There’s no one in the City of Greater Dandenong that can do the work we do. There’s nobody.”

Mr Rechichi joined local MPs and relief organisation representatives to discuss the issue at City of Greater Dandenong’s Springvale offices last Friday, 6 February.

“I hope that from this meeting something will come up.

Maybe if we join as a group, we may have some input,” he said.

“Maybe (Social Services Minister) Scott Morrison will have a change of mind, a change of heart.”

A spokeswoman for another relief organisation said the government hadn’t revealed who would get funding, and was concerned there’d be a substantial emergency relief cut across the municipality.

“We’ve got no idea if there’s a new player that’s been funded,” she said.

“We understand there has been a 20 per cent cut in emergency relief funding in Victoria.

“City of Greater Dandenong is the highest on the SEIFA scale, which measures disadvantage.

“This may have a major impact on our community.”

Cambodian Association of Victoria co-ordinator Leang Kong attended the meeting last Friday.

She said the Federal Government reduced the Springvale centre’s funding from $110,000 per year to $75,000 then cut it altogether at the start of last year.

“It impacts a lot on our community, because without that we had to cut some of our staff, but our services are still the same,” Ms Kong said.

Dandenong Community Advisory Bureau, Casey Cardinia Legal Service, Vietnamese Community in Victoria and Dads in Distress also took part.

Mr Dreyfus said cuts to volunteer-run groups like the Springvale Benevolent Society showed just how out of touch the Federal Government was.

Teens hunted after ram-raids TWO teenagers are being sought by police after using a stolen car to ram-raid five small businesses within two hours in Noble Park North, Keysborough, Dandenong, Doveton and Hallam on Thursday morning.

Dandenong crime investigation unit detectives said the boys stole cash registers and cash at some of the targeted shops.

Police said they first drove

into a business’s front door in Heyington Crescent, Noble Park, at 4.30am but were unable to gain entry.

They then rammed and gained entry through a front window of a shop in Currawong Street, Keysborough.

The boys stole a cash register, containing money, from the store.

Shops in Ross Street, Dandenong, Chestnut Road, Doveton

and Marshall Place, Hallam were also raided, with another cash register and money stolen.

The car believed to have been used in the raids was found in a park at Frawley Road, Eumemmerring.

The boys are described as of Caucasian appearance and aged in their late teens.

Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.

KNOW YOUR GRASSFIRE RISK THIS SUMMER If you live near open grassland, parks, paddocks or reserves, you could be impacted by grassfire.

IT’S UP TO YOU TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE STARTS. DO YOU LIVE ONE OR TWO STREETS AWAY FROM GRASSLAND? Stay inside your home – grassfires are unlikely to spread past the first row of houses Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

DO YOU LIVE ON A FENCELINE NEXT TO GRASSLAND? If a fire starts, quickly move one or two streets away from the fenceline or park boundary Act early, even if you haven’t received a warning Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

Remember, it’s up to you to monitor weather conditions and warnings.

Always keep an eye on the conditions outside - you may be aware of a fire before emergency services.

If you see smoke or flames, call Triple Zero (000).

Set to make her mark NEW DANDENONG MP GABRIELLE WILLIAMS SPOKE TO CASEY NEILL ABOUT HER JOURNEY TO PARLIAMENT AND MOTIVATIONS FOR SERVING THE PUBLIC. GABRIELLE Williams not only kept Dandenong in Labor hands at last year’s State Election - she kept it in Collingwood’s grasp, too.

The 32-year-old followed fellow Pies fan John Pandazopoulos into the seat with almost 53 per cent of first preference votes.

“It’s been a safe Labor seat for some time now but I’ve never taken that for granted,” she said. “I’ve always known that I wanted to fight for this seat despite the margin and I think it’s one that takes a lot of work.”

Doveton-born Mr Pandazopoulos represented the electorate for 22 years retiring at the 27 November poll.

“It is hugely daunting. John’s part of the furniture,” Ms Williams said.

“He was quite lovely about letting me find my own feet and I think that’s been really great. But he’s been available to provide advice if I need it.”

Ms Williams, who has already been appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, calls Dandenong North home.

“People are going to have to get used to seeing me in my baggy jeans and my T-shirt, looking tired on a Sunday morning when I go to do my shopping,” she said.

Her parents started their married life in Noble Park and she grew up in Wantirna.

“A lot of my fondest memories of childhood are in Dandenong,” she said.

“We did annual trips to the Dandenong Christmas tree farm.

“As soon as we passed Lyndale secondary mum would say ‘that’s where John Farnham went to school’.

“By the time we were all older, we’d see Lyndale on the horizon and we’d all say ‘did you know that’s where John Farnham went to school?’.

“It became the running joke.

“She loved the fact that one of the first things I managed to lobby for and get a commitment on was the rebuild of Lyndale Secondary College.”

Ms Williams has been actively involved in the Labor Party and politics for about 10 years, but only recently considered herself a parliamentary candidate.

Working with Bruce MP Alan Griffin exposed her to how much she could do and how much needed to be done.

When Dandenong became vacant, she thought ‘why not?’.

“We should have people in these positions that are passionate about what they’re doing and that have a vi-

Gabrielle Williams in her office. “I’ve always known that I wanted to fight for this seat.” 132919

Gabrielle's flag waving for the city's future ACTION on level crossings is high on Gabrielle Williams’ agenda - and not a moment too soon, residents say.

Labor’s pre-election plan would see five Greater Dandenong crossings removed - Abbotts Road in Dandenong South, Corrigan, Heatherton and Chandler roads in Noble Park and the South Gippsland Highway in Dandenong.

“They’re the five that I’ve got my eye on because they’re the most relevant to this particular area,” Ms Williams said.

“Obviously they’re a big project, and we’ve allowed two terms for the ones that we’ve designated.”

Noble Park resident Gaye Guest recently got stuck at the Chandler Park boom gates while five trains passed

sion and that want to see the best for people,” she said.

“I do care about this place and I do care about the values of the Labor Party and genuinely believe that they create a more equitable, fairer society.”

She grew up in a family where politics and current affairs were always talking points, and her mum’s relatives in particular were politically active.

Ms Williams’s great uncle Ted McCormick was the Waterside Workers Federation president.

“And Mum’s father was a wharf-

through, and allows an extra half hour of travel time to cross the line.

“The community is cut in half now that we have more trains in service on our rail network,” Ms Guest said.

Ms Williams has already contacted ministers about commitments to rebuild Lyndale Secondary College and finish Dandenong High School’s upgrade, and she’ll

ie, my uncle was a wharfie, my dad worked on the waterfront for a time,” she said. “That’s quite a politicallycharged environment, particularly in those days.”

Tragedy in her mum’s family also shaped her views. Ms Williams’s Aunty Kate suffered encephalitis (brain inflammation) at age five.

“She was in a prolonged coma over many, many months and when she did wake up she had severe disabilities as a result,” she said. “That environment gave me a very clear idea of the role

be “waving the flag for Dandenong” for Premier Daniel Andrews’ promised Indian precinct.

The Greater Dandenong business community has been strongly advocating for the State Government to build a new port at Hastings, to boost business in the region.

“What we’ve committed to is an examination of the options to see what’s best for

I felt that government should play in people’s lives in terms of being a support and creating a fair society.”

Ms Williams studied law with this philosophy in mind and worked at Baker and McKenzie.

“They had a really sizeable pro-bono program which they really encouraged us to be part of,” she said.

“It was often as simple as helping homeless people negotiate reduced penalties for different infringements.

“What it showed to me was that we had people who were already strug-

Victoria overall,” Ms Williams said.

“I know the business community here had a preference for Hastings but there are some concerns about Hastings, too.”

She said Labor support for vocational training would help the region and she was committed to promoting its multiculturalism for tourism.

gling, but would get into a cycle where things were made more and more difficult. It was such a small thing to do but you could see that it took some of the weight off them.”

Ms Williams hopes to do similar things for residents of her electorate.

“They’ve come from places where government is something to be feared and you avoid it as best you can.

“That’s something that I want to break down as best as I can. I want this office to be a true community resource.”

ANDREA Wyatt’s first job post-university is back where her education began.

The Keysborough 23-yearold is Chandler Park Primary School’s new speech pathologist.

“I suppose it’s pretty amazing,” she said.

“The pathology room is my Grade 3 classroom.

“It was the place where I started my education and then I got to the end of it and it’s my first workplace.

“It’s pretty exciting. I’m very lucky to have a job here.

It’s such a welcoming community.”

Principal Peter Paul was also at the helm during Ms Wyatt’s schooling.

“Some of my old teachers are still here as well,” she said.

“It’s a bit interesting to adjust.

“Peter’s been very supportive and very welcoming.”

Ms Wyatt’s dad Greg was the school council president while she was a student and returns to the school each year in his role as a GP. “He did have a big influence on the school and he still comes back to do the staff vaccines every year,” she said.

“He still has a connection to the school as well.

“He hasn’t let go after how many years?”

Ms Wyatt will work with individual students and groups to address speech impediments and language disorders.

A delay in receiving completed Income and Asset Assessments, does not mean a delay in admission.

JANG Dhadly has long dreamed of walking with straight feet into his parents’ home in Punjab, India.

Thanks to a leg-up from generous Greater Dandenong donors, what looked like an impossibility is becoming reality.

Mr Dhadly, 27, is set to undergo the final stages of rehabilitation to overcome a clubbed and severely deformed foot, “It’s a miracle, a dream come true. I just want to walk by myself and in front of my mum,� Mr Dhadly said.

As a child, he struggled to walk – crawling on all fours until he was eight. Since then, he had hobbled with an uncom-

fortable limp. In India, due to discrimination against his disability, the best wage he could earn was $50 a month.

With the help of relatives, he moved to Dandenong on a student visa. He has been studying business and automotive engineering while sharing a house with seven men and working part-time in a car wash in Dandenong Plaza car park.

He had hoped to fund the operations himself but his private medical insurance wouldn’t cover the cost of about $20,000.

Mr Dhadly isn’t eligible for Medicare.

It was at the car wash that he came to know Trevor Aspinall, who gathered together other well-meaning residents such

Picture: DONNA OATES as Dandenong Rotary Club’s Ashok Langer to raise money for treatment.

The operation in November was a radical one – an amputation of his right lower leg in preparation for a fitted prosthetic leg.

Last week came a vital act of generosity from Dandenong Club – a $10,000 donation.

So far, Mr Dhadly has kept the operations a secret from his mum and dad. But he has taken a few steps closer to a planned surprise visit to his parents some time soon.

To help Mr Dhadly, donate to the Jang Dhadly trust account (ANZ Bank, BSB number 013289, account 394273617).

‘Stalker’ ignored court

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IT WAS a case of third time unlucky for a man who persistently breached an intervention order protecting an ex-lover last Monday.

Kenny Truong was refused bail in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court after being arrested outside the court that morning over stalking and breach of bail charges.

Police informant Constable Sean Matthews of Springvale Family Violence Unit said Truong had shown a disregard for bail conditions, especially after

following the victim in a motor vehicle soon after being granted bail on 6 January.

“Police have no doubt that he will continue to breach the order and have concerns and fears for the safety of the victim,” he told the court.

Const Matthews said the victim had reported five family violence breaches by Truong this year after a court order was made not to approach or communicate with her.

After being arrested for his first breach on 2 January, Truong allegedly breached the order again by visiting the victim’s

home four days later.

Upon being granted bail at court, Truong immediately followed the victim in a motor vehicle down a dead-end street where he was soon arrested.

Two weeks later, Truong allegedly used the alias ‘John Smith’ to send Facebook messages about his partner and their relationship.

He was remanded for nine days before being released on bail.

On 30 January, Truong - soon after being remanded in custody for nine days - followed the victim by foot in Chadstone Shop-

ping Centre car park.

Const Matthews said Truong allegedly thrust letters into the victim’s hand - telling her he’d written them while remanded in prison for nine days and that he loved her.

He wrestled her phone from her when she tried to call police.

In the struggle, the victim’s leg was grazed.

Truong was also breaching a nine-month community correction order at the time.

Truong, who represented himself, told the court on Monday that his time in remand was a “horrible experience” and he had

not intended to find the victim at Chadstone.

“I will follow all bail conditions set out by yourself,” he told magistrate Barry Schultz.

Mr Schultz said Truong had failed to ‘show cause’ for being released on bail, having three times deliberately breached court orders in the past month.

“It seems to have a flavour of stalking to me,” he said of the Chadstone incident.

Truong was remanded to appear in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court today (Monday 9 February).

Multicultural shed team building its connections A TYPICALLY Aussie event will officially open Springvale’s Multicultural Men’s Shed next week.

The welcome barbecue for the Australian-first facility will run from noon to 2pm on Saturday 14 February at the Balmoral Avenue venue.

“Great things are going to be happening,” councillor and committee member Roz Blades said.

She said the shed would tackle depression and isolation by uniting men who were “in the same boat”, providing them with vocational training and connecting them with other

cultures. “We’ve got to adapt to what their needs are.”

The idea came from Springvale Uniting Church Reverend Paul Creasey almost four years ago, after he found little culturalspecific help for a Chinese man who lost his daughter to a brain aneurysm.

He and a community steering committee has since secured land at the church, received a donation of a former school portable and raised funds to fit it out.

“It’s a long time to sustain the enthusiasm, and it’s been a bit of a roll-

ercoaster,” he said. Rev Creasey said: “People who use the shed will be the people that will determine what actually goes on.”

But there’ll be a focus on skills, parenting and health.

“I think that men in our community are really struggling to understand their role,” he said.

“Some people find themselves out of work prematurely, or when they do retire that they’ve lived for work and their social connections are not built up.

“It’s about inclusion,

IN BRIEF Boy beaten for backpack A 17-YEAR-OLD boy has been kicked and punched during a robbery in Dandenong.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Tony Lavars said the victim was in the walkway between Dandenong Plaza and Dandenong Hub about 7.30pm on Monday 2 February.

A man of Maori or Islander appearance approached and asked the boy what was in his backpack.

Another three or four men joined him, pushed the victim into a garden bed, punched and kicked him and fled with the backpack.

SPRINGVALE LUNAR NEW YEAR 2015

Lunar light comes to life SPRINGVALE will come alive on Sunday as an estimated 80,000 people pack the central business district to usher in the Lunar New Year.

The Year of the Goat will kick off with a celebration featuring Asian culture and traditions including food and entertainment from China, Vietnam, Japan, Korea and Mongolia.

Visitors will enjoy a wide range of street food and beverage stalls from more than 50 multicultural vendors as well as arts, crafts and novelty stalls, family entertainment and large-scale amusement rides and carnival attractions.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Sean O’Reilly is among those who are looking forward to the spectacular celebration which draws thousands of visitors to the city.

“The festival is a great opportunity for local families to participate in an event which promotes harmony, tolerance and understanding,” Cr O’Reilly said.

“It showcases Springvale to a much wider audience as statistics show that a large number of people who attend the event live outside Greater Dandenong.”

The council has worked in partnership with the Springvale Asian Business Association to organise the event, which is now in its 23rd year.

Cr O’Reilly said the partnership ensured the cultural significance and quality of the event was maintained and strengthened.

The festival, centered around Buckingham Avenue, runs from 10am until 10pm.

The Journal will have full coverage of the festival in next Monday’s edition.

Hello Kitty won Camvy’s heart at the 2014 Lunar Festival.

LARGE BLOCKS UP TO 734m2

IN LOVE WITH THE BESPOKE SPACE and light combine to create a dazzling first impression of the Bespoke

by Arden Homes.

The grand, double-storey home includes an unsurpassed number of quality standard inclusions, ensuring buyers aren’t forced to continually reassess their budget as they strive for the perfect home.

The grand proportions of the Bespoke are evident the moment you step through the impressive pivot front door.

The ground floor redefines the meaning of open plan with rooms seamlessly flowing from one to the other, creating an unimpeded view from the entrance right through to the alfresco entertaining area at the rear.

To the left of the entrance is a study, which can be enclosed but works beautifully as an open space.

Boutique, fully-glazed windows feature throughout the home, including butt jointed corner windows.

As you enter, look up and peer into the entry void, your gaze is instantly directed to the first floor ceiling soaring five and a half metres above you.

To the right is the modern, hardwood staircase. Sleek timber handrails, open treads and glass balustrading further enhance the feeling of space and light.

The designer kitchen has a wall oven tower with nothing less than three Smeg ovens, a steam oven, pyroletic oven, plus conventional oven and built-in coffee machine.

Caesarstone benchtops are complemented by a laminate servery table. The Smeg dishwasher automatically pops open to release steam when a washing cycle is finished.

The fully-equipped butler’s pantry is perfect for entertaining with bi-fold windows opening onto the outdoor eating area.

The ground floor also includes a powder room, large laundry with walk-in linen cupboard and a huge family/dining area flooded with natural light.

Upstairs is another living area and four oversized bedrooms, each with an ensuite.

So large is the master bedroom it is reminiscent of a five-star hotel.

The six-star energy rated home comes complete with a Brivis refrigerated cooling system.

Sales manager Warren Dibble said the beauty of the Bespoke, apart from its “amazing” standard inclusions, was its flexibility.

Buyers are encouraged to work closely with Arden architects to create their dream home.

“We can customise the house or design a Bespoke home from the ground up,” Warren said.

“Our brief is to only build 30 Bespoke homes a year. That’s our commitment to clients. Every house is numbered and owners receive an authenticity certificate.”

To truly appreciate the Bespoke, visit the display on Westwood Boulevard in Keysborough’s Somerfield Estate or call Jackie Cavner on 0403 031 290.

NEW HOMES & LAND

HOWZAT FOR A CRICKET LEGEND The Ramlegh Springs Sunday Fundays festival kicks off this weekend at Clyde North’s best new address with the first of four family friendly events featuring a special guest appearance by Aussie cricket legend Brad Hodge.

With Cricket World Cup fever at full pitch this Valentine’s Day weekend, the theme of the opening Sunday Fundays event is ‘I Love Cricket!’ and Brad will be on hand for a chat, to sign autographs and face up to a few deliveries from Australia’s next generation of cricketing superstars.

The event will also feature a game of backyard cricket and a “throw down the stumps” competition, face painting, jumping castle and the Clyde Cricket Club will be providing a free sausage sizzle for hungry backyard cricket champions.

One lucky guest will win a new cricket bat signed by Brad Hodge!

Hidden away in an idyllic corner of Melbourne’s emerging south-east growth corridor, Ramlegh Springs on Clyde offers a wonderful selection of large home sites with big back yards for growing families.

The first Ramlegh Springs Sunday Funday will take place from noon to 3pm on Sunday 15 February at the Ramlegh Springs sales office, Pattersons Road, Clyde North.

For more information on Ramlegh Springs and the Sunday Fundays festival visit www. ramleghsprings.com.au, search Facebook or contact estate managers Trudi Kerr and Ted O’Grady from Oliver Hume on 9684 8144.

NEW HOMES & LAND

BUYERS SET TO BENEFIT AS INTEREST RATES FALL FURTHER The decision last week by the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut the interbank interest rate to 2.25 per cent, the lowest level since the 1950s, is set to give the housing market a boost.

In making the announcement, the RBA said that Australian economic growth and demand was lower than expected and that unemployment has risen, trends which were forcast to continue.

The bank said a lower exchange rate for the Australian dollar, which should be helped by a lowered interest rate, would help balance the economy.

It said lending rates had increased last year, particularly to housing investors, and that house prices in Sydney, a national benchmark, had risen strongly.

The housing market across

regional Victoria ended 2014 on a high note with the December quarter median house price up 5.5 per cent on September.

The median price of $344,000 was up from $326,000 in the September quarter.

This was a significant rebound for the housing market, which had only seen a marginal increase - of about 0.3 per cent - in the September quarter.

Despite that quieter September quarter, over the year ending 31 December the regional median house price was up 5.8 per cent.

The year-on-year increase for units and apartments was 3 per cent with this market showing a healthy 4 per cent increase over the December quarter to a median unit price of $257,000.

Looking back to the previous year and to 2012 illustrates the

increasing strength of this regional market.

In the December quarter 2013 the median house price was $317,500 - a new record then - and the year before that it was just $302,500.

Of course there are substantial variations across the state as local factors such as seasonal demand, employment levels and transport links to Melbourne and key regional centres impact on property prices.

For example, in the Alpine region prices rose by close to 12 per cent in the year to the end of December while in greater Ballarat, the increase was 4.1 per cent, in greater Bendigo 4.5 per cent and in greater Geelong there was a slight fall of just under 1 per cent.

In East Gippsland the increase

was 4.9 per cent over the 12 months, in Greater Shepparton it was 3 per cent.

And in the Colac-Otway region, driven by higher prices in Colac, the annual increase was above 20 per cent.

But it should be noted that in many of the towns and suburbs within these municipalities there were fewer than 50 sales over the year, so while the median house price is still an important indicator, it is based on less data than in some Melbourne suburbs with significantly more sales.

Nonetheless, the overall median house price increase was good news for sellers and homeowners.

Over the year agents reported increased buyer competition for properties in centres within commuting distance of

Melbourne or key regional towns as rising Melbourne prices led families to seek more affordable properties.

Improved rail links have also helped lift this demand.

Agents are also reporting more investor interest in regional centres, including interstate and overseas investors.

Much of the local investor interest is being driven by self managed superannuation fund investment.

This investor interest has also helped boost construction of low maintenance apartments and townhouses.

MOSAIC TO SOON WELCOME FIRST RESIDENTS Burbank’s Mosaic apartments may be built on a former cattle saleyard but these new apartments have helped transform Dandenong’s skyline and are now nearing completion.

Part of the Victorian Government’s $290 million Revitalising Central Dandenong Initiative, Mosaic’s four luxury towers contain 235 mixed one and two bedroom apartments which are designed around a landscaped courtyard which will provide a central meeting space for the Mosaic community.

Mosaic, with its contemporary design and ideal location, is setting a trend in Dandenong as the place to be.

The apartments are located right on the cusp of the Dandenong CBD, cutting a

striking visual figure across the skyline as well as offering residents easy access to Dandenong’s shops and restaurants.

Mosaic also enjoys close proximity to EastLink and the Monash Freeway, while the Dandenong Railway Station and an extensive bus network are only minutes away.

Designed by international architectural firm Peddle Thorp, Mosaic has effortlessly gained a reputation as a landmark residential project and will soon welcome its first residents.

Mosaic apartments are located on Cheltenham Road, Dandenong.

Step up to our award winning Milan, * voted HIA’s Best Display Home 2014.

The Milan 29 from our Aspire range has just won the 2014 HIA Victorian division Best Display Home between $250,001 – 300,000.

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.

Visit the Milan today – and judge for yourself.

Swinging seniors

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG man Frank Nicholls discovered his voice quite late in life - at age 70.

Today he’s making up for lost time, fronting the Keysborough-based Nordan Variety Artistes.

“To be able to rock and roll at 87 - I’m very lucky,” he said.

The band has 10-plus members, including one who performed with Stevie Wonder - lead guitarist Antoine LimHow. It started as a four-person singing group that performed at nursing homes.

Frank joined in about 2010 and a guitarist followed in

2012. “We started them to become a band, rather than doing nursing homes,” he said.

“The band was far too big to accommodate itself in that situation.”

And it’s taken off in the past 12 months thanks to musical co-ordinator Glaxton Saunders.

“I got involved with them because I found them very enthusiastic and they had great potential,” he said.

“They’ve really come a long way. They’ve become more professional in what they’re doing.”

Mr Saunders said several members were octogenarians.

“It’s amazing how they per-

form,” he said. “They’ve picked up a lot of work now and they entertain the elderly crowd, they really seem to enjoy it.”

They were entertaining seniors throughout the south-east at several gigs each week late last year.

The band features a pianist, trumpet player and three guitarists and specialises in ‘60s and ‘70s hits.

“My involvement with the band keeps me the way I am fit and well,” Frank said.

“The main thing is making other people happy when you go to various concerts - the looks on their faces, and if they feel good they clap.”

The father of 10 was a professional athlete for 11 years and came out of retirement to claim the veterans’ 100 metres event at the 100th Stawell Gift at the age of 51.

He was also a sales manager for a curtain business and is no stranger to the limelight.

He won talent contest Red Faces on television show Hey Hey It’s Saturday in 1997, crooning “why is my heart so lonely, why are the stars so bright?”

“At that stage I’d only been singing six months,” he said.

“I lost the words but the others (contestants) were so bad.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Fuel spill soft landing takes a slight Toll

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS TOLL Group has been fined just over $7000 for an aviation fuel waste spill that gridlocked traffic for hours on the Monash Freeway and surrounding roads in Melbourne’s south east in November.

Environment Protection Authority Victoria issued a penalty notice against the transport company for failing to safely transport the prescribed industrial waste - a breach of the company’s EPA permit.

Toll Group was fined $7381, though shortly after the spill on 12 November the EPA stated the maximum applicable pen-

alty was more than $350,000.

Last week an EPA spokesman said Toll Group would have faced a maximum fine of “about $90,000” had the matter gone to court.

At the time of the spill, drivers reported long delays on Dandenong’s main arterial roads including the freeway - with lanes closed in both directions for five hours between the weekday morning and afternoon peaks.

The EPA found a rusted drum carrying the waste had sprung a leak and dripped on the freeway near the Heatherton Road overpass.

“In this particular case the

company said the drum looked from an initial inspection to be fit for purpose,“ EPA chief executive Nial Finegan said.

“However, the bottom had rusted, which is where the leak occurred.

“A closer inspection would have revealed that the drum was not up to scratch and would have avoided potential pollution of Victoria’s environment.

“Thankfully, in this instance, the small amount of aviation gas waste that escaped was noticed by another vehicle and the driver was alerted quickly.”

Residents Against Toxic Waste in the South East spokes-

woman Thelma Wakelam said the EPA should have prosecuted Toll Group in court if it wanted to send a “true message” to waste transporters.

She said the EPA’s reluctance to prosecute reflected its underresourcing or being “too close to industry”.

“There is no doubt Toll has been negligent so why would the EPA in this instance not prosecute?

“There is no excuse for human error which can bring our freeways to a halt and cause local lockdown.”

Ms Wakelam said the incident showed transport companies had

become complacent about their cargoes’ potential impact.

“RATWISE is concerned we have no choice but to share our roads and freeways with vehicles transporting hazardous or dangerous waste, including medical and infectious material.

“There has to be a safer way.”

A Toll Group spokesman last week repeated the company’s statement shortly after the spill that “the safety of our people and the communities that we operate in is our priority, always.

“As one of Melbourne’s largest road users we take this responsibility extremely seriously.”

Race workers cross the finishing line SANDOWN Racecourse’s garden and grounds workers clocked off for the final time last Friday.

On 15 January 34 workers at the Sandown and Caulfield tracks learnt that Melbourne Racing Club (MRC) would contract out their jobs from 1 February.

The announcement followed six months of enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) negotiations.

Australian Workers Union (AWU) Victorian secretary Ben Davis said the final eight employees at Sandown finished up on Friday.

“All 34 of them are so disenchanted and embittered that they don’t want to work there anymore,” he said.

“They feel that they can’t work there anymore. They’ve decided to move on.

“I’m deeply saddened by it, deeply troubled by it, but it’s their decision, it’s their working lives.”

Two workers had given more than 40 years’ service to the track and many more had 20-plus years under their belts.

“All this club thinks about is money, not the trauma and stress that they cause,” one worker said.

An MRC spokesman said the decision followed a broader 18-month efficiency review to tackle rising losses in its racing business, which topped $6 million per annum in recent years.

He said MRC was forced to explore other options because the AWU made unreasonable demands.

The career Mitchell is cut out for

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG apprentice Mitchell Dowling has trumped more than 35,000 others for a top honour.

The 25-year-old won the Best Victorian Apprentice Award for last year from the Group Training Association of Victoria (GTAV).

“I felt very surprised. I knew I was going quite well, I didn’t know I was going the best,” he said.

Mr Dowling works at Laser 3D in Dandenong, employed by Link Employment and Training.

“Originally I used to do university. I studied for a few years - I did IT and then I did science,” he said.

“Both of them I was like ‘yeah I’m doing it, no I don’t really find it too interesting’.”

So he quit and took on a management position at

Coles, where he still works part-time.

“I got to about 23 or 24 and went ‘oh God, I’m doing nothing. I better decide on something’,” he said.

He completed a pre-apprenticeship at the end of 2013 and came across fitting and turning.

“And here I am,” he said.

The large laser-cutting company works on car parts,

garden screens, installation art and much more.

Mr Dowling said he wanted to move into management, learn about servicing lasers and find out more about emerging technologies like 3D printing and rapid computer numerical control (CNC) machining.

“Things that could be really cool but are on the edge,” he said.

Sit-in’s sweet smell of success WORKERS who spent four days locked in a Dandenong factory lunch room have got what they wanted.

On Sunday 1 February International Flavours and Fragrances (IFF) employees accepted a new enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) and returned to work on Monday.

National Union of Workers (NUW) spokeswoman Emma Kerin said negotiations started in June last year and stalled because IFF insisted on cutting conditions.

She said the threeyear agreement signed last week protected paid breaks and accrued sick leave and secured annual wage increases of 2 per cent, 2.1 per cent and 2.2 per cent.

“They’re very happy to be back at work,” she said.

The workers arrived at the Frankston-Dandenong Road factory about 6am on 27 January to find they were locked out.

They were due to start protected industrial action that day that included bans on paperwork and overtime.

Ms Kerin said they voted to lock themselves in the lunchroom and left about 4pm on 30 January because IFF’s Asia Pacific management had responded to an online petition and got involved.

“They spent all day in the commission Saturday - from 10am to 9pm - with our delegates,” she said.

The American-owned multinational company supplies flavourings to Australia’s biggest food producers in liquid, powder and spray.

The Journal contacted IFF but did not receive any response.

Watching the grass grow

By JARROD POTTER NOT many cricketers have notched up the milestone Dandenong West mainstay Ken Goodes has just celebrated.

Goodes, 66, was the man of honour at Greaves Reserve as he celebrated 50 years as a Bull, since making his way to Dandenong from Merino, near Hamilton, as a 15-year-old.

The young Goodes - who fancied himself as a bowling all-rounder - brought his bat down with his tools and wanted a game of cricket alongside his work as a builder’s labourer.

The club was pretty different back then - the pavilion was still some years off being built and the players would have to trek off to Jones Road after day’s play to grab a drink.

While the developments have gone on at the Dandenong District Cricket Association (DDCA) club - as the Bulls switched from matting, to malthoid and finally onto the turf wicket - Goodes has been the common denominator and he can’t think of anywhere better to be on a Saturday.

“Just love the club,” Goodes said.

“When I first came here, I just went over to old Arthur Baker and knocked on the door looking for a game of cricket and he said ‘come over here’ and here I am ... still here.

“Good people and you meet a lot of them, not only as team mates, but opposition as well.

“That’s one good thing about sport I reckon you’ll always meet a lot of people if you get your

kids into sport.”

The highlight for Goodes - and many Bulls of that era - was the Turf 1 and Turf 2 joint premierships in 1985/86 where he captained the twos, a DDCA feat unlikely to be replicated again.

“The one that stands out a mile was in 1985/86 when we won Turf 1 and Turf 2 flags, that was probably the best one of all time as we didn’t really make the four that year,” Goodes said.

“We were fifth that year and Lyndale had points taken off because they played unregistered players.

“That was a big celebration - that was back over in the old tin shed - that one stood out far and above everything else.”

He also looks back fondly on getting one over on Eddie Grace via Mankad - flicking the bails off at the non-striker’s end to take a narrow EGrade victory after their opposition kept chirping at Goodes’ younger team mates.

His brothers - Peter and Wayne - also donned the Bulls’ cap as part of a half-century legacy of Goodes taking to Greaves Reserve.

Goodes wasn’t just a summer specialist as he was also an ardent footballer in the area - playing with Dandenong’s VFA thirds before switching to Beaconsfield and eventually Longwarry.

His best partnerships of all though is the 43 years he has been with his wife Gail - as they raised their four children Jason, Kristee, Nathan and Ryan at the club as Goodes’ better half used to score for the team.

Goodes’ son Jason, who is currently Dande-

His finest 50... Ken Goodes celebrates a half-century spent at Dandenong West Cricket Picture: JARROD POTTER Club. 134246 nong West’s president, said his father has been the perfect clubman and cricket devotee, not just for the Bulls but for everyone across the DDCA. “He’s been a great role model, a perfect role model for me and he’s respected throughout the club and the whole DDCA,” Jason Goodes said.

First out of the water... and finish first

By JARROD POTTER WHATEVER the conditions, you are sure to find Ebony Francis out in the water.

That love of swimming has guided Francis, 12, from Black Rock, to selection on the School Sport Victoria (SSV) triathlon team after earning a top-six finish in a qualifying race.

The Haileybury Keysborough student caught the triathlon bug off her parents - Paul and Rachael - and has never looked back as she competes regularly through the summer months at Bayside beaches in a number of triathlon series.

“When I was growing up my mum and dad did a lot of triathlons and it interested me so I decided to give it a go and fell in love with it,” Francis said.

“When I was eight I did the Weet Bix kids triathlon and that was fun.

“I put my name down and I had come in the top six with a bunch of other girls who tried out... I’m really proud to make the team.”

Swimming is her discipline of choice as Francis aims to blitz the competition through the water and hold onto her lead on her non-preferred bike and run legs.

She just hopes to finish first in the swim leg of the nationals and take on everything she can from the experience.

“I’d love to come out first in the swim - that would make me happy - and I’m just hoping to learn from the whole experience,” Francis said.

Francis is also a keen life-saver - participating in nippers - and when she’s not in the water she loves to roam the defensive end in netball.

She wanted to thank her parents for their support and helping drive her up and down the bay to get into her triathlons.

“Just want to thank my dad and mum for driving me to all my events all the time,” Francis said.

“Dad got up with me at 4am this (Thursday) morning for swim training to drive me here (Haileybury).”

Francis will head to Penrith from 27-30 April for the School Sport Australia Triathlon National Cham- Haileybury’s Ebony Francis will represent Victoria at the national school sport pionships.

“I don’t think he’s got an enemy in the world and there would be few people in the whole DDCA who haven’t had a beer with him at one stage or another.

“He’s just a down-to-earth good bloke who’d do anything for anyone.”

SPORT WNBL - Round 16

DDCA Twenty20 - Semi Final

Boom boom Rangers go down

By JARROD POTTER VICTORY versus City wasn’t the only Melbourne Derby on Saturday as the Dandenong Rangers fell away after half-time against the Melbourne Boomers in a WNBL blockbuster.

With their WNBL season on the line, Melbourne exploded after halftime to record the 88-76 win over Dandenong, on the back of exceptional long range play from Bec Allen (25 points) and Laurie Koehn (15 points).

Allen was unstoppable from the three-point line - snaring five-fromfive treys - to show just why she has been scouted to the WNBA to join the New York Liberty.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Allen and the Boomers though, as a strong opening term gave the visitors an early six-point lead.

Dandenong’s go-to weapons Penny Taylor (26 points, 9 rebounds) and Cappie Pondexter (17 points, 8 rebounds) started hitting their straps to kick things off, but the effort across the board was lacklustre from then on as the Boomers lived up to their moniker.

From 40-44 at the major break, a Penny Taylor trey was the only early

Another blood bath

By JARROD POTTER

highlight for Dandenong in the third term as the Boomers broke through at both ends.

Melbourne added 13 points in a row - on the back of superb defensive play and even better offensive finishing from the likes of Tess Madgen (17 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists) to leave the match all but out of Dandenong’s reach, despite a last term fight-back to drag the margin within the last few minutes.

Alice Kunek (21 points) was the other major point-scorer for the Rangers as their eight-match winning streak was drawn to a close.

Dandenong coach Mark Wright said all the credit belonged to the Boomers as his Rangers failed to fire in the crunch moments.

“Just got a lesson in following the scout - can’t have Bec Allen nailing WNBA threes - I think they were on a mission today (Saturday) and we didn’t match their intensity.”

“All credit to them, they played like a finals’ team and on that form they probably should go through.

“As good as they were we struggled and while I was happy we made a game of it - came back and tried to get it back - few too many people not

Rangers’ guard Cappie Pondexter drives past future WNBA team mate Picture: JARROD POTTER Bec Allen en route to the basket. 134249 paying their fare.”

Wright remained uncertain if star point guard Kathleen Macleod (dislocated kneecap) would return from injury for the final home-and-away round, but was adamant she would be ready at latest by the start of the

WNBL finals’ series.

Dandenong will finish its WNBL home-and-away season this weekend as they head to Whyalla on Friday night to face the Adelaide Lightning before returning home on Sunday to host ladderleading Townsville from 5pm.

In winning company

By JASON ADAMS MONEY Come Back produced a faultless display when he secured his 11th career win on Thursday at Sandown Park.

Money Come Back was fair to begin from box two, however showed great courage when splitting between Supersonic Hawk and Dewana Babe to find the early lead.

Despite a late charge from Dewana Babe, Money Come Back held on to win by a length in a swift 34.21.

The win came as no surprise to Devon Meadows’ trainer Gus Selkrig after his kennel’s recent spike in form.

“Coming into the night I was quite confident of his chances - he likes to be out in front and dictate the terms and that’s exactly what he did.

“The whole kennel has been on

fire and these two are no exceptions, they have been in a purple patch of form,” said Selkrig.

Money Come Back’s recent run of good form has been impressive, even more so after some serious issues earlier in his career.

“He’s had more than his fair share of injuries throughout his career, it’s a real credit that he’s still racing.”

Just two races later, Sam Harper claimed the 11th race of the night, completing a winning double for Selkrig.

“Overall I’m very impressed with both of them, especially Sam Harper.”

Over the last couple of months, Money Come Back and Sam Harper have travelled around Victoria and have endured ongoing success.

“The last four times these two have been to the track together they’ve won.”

Gus Selkrig had a ‘Money Come Back’ guarantee as his greyhound Picture: SUPPLIED stormed home for his 11th victory. 134250 Sam Harper has thrived since having joined the kennel in December, and Selkrig believes it’s due to him building relationships with his new kennel mates.

“Since he’s arrived here he’s won five of his nine starts, I think it’s having the company of other greyhounds... really seems to bring the best out of him.”

BLOODS versus Bloodhounds.

The DDCA’s Twenty20 competition has boiled down to the perennial DDCA Turf 1 finalists as Springvale South and Mordialloc will face off in the Twenty20 Grand Final next Wednesday (18 February), after knocking off Buckley Ridges and Doveton respectively.

Springvale South (104) was held to a pittance by Buckley Ridges (92), but managed to extract the visitors to claim the triumph and ticket to the big dance.

Dandenong opener Brett Forsyth (15) started strongly but succumbed to Matt Goodwright and from there the Bloods dripped out from the crease. Late order defiance from Jarrod Armitage (16) and Yoshan Kumara (13) helped give Springvale South a three-figure target to defend.

Buckley Ridges was eked from the crease by the likes of Ruwantha Kellepotha (4/9) and Craig Slocombe (2/10), as the spin-tandem gave the Ridges’ batsmen no speed to hit them off the square. Armitage (1/19) and Kumara (0/20) were also economical in the victory.

Doveton (84) bowled its heart out, keeping Mordialloc (108) to a meagre tally first up as star recruit James Nanopoulos (3/20) tore through the Bloodhounds’ middle order. His efforts were complemented in a power-packed attack by Josh Daffy (3/20), Nathan Wilson (2/12) and Darren Pattinson (0/28).

Chathura Athukorala (34) and Ryan Morris (20) kept the dogs barking as the Doves failed to execute the winning blow.

The response was equally as tricky for Doveton as Nanopoulos (23) was the only Dove to get his eye in. After he succumbed, captain Wilson (11) and Daffy (18) were the only other Doveton batsmen to connect with the cherry as Nick Connellan (3/10), Dylan Campbell (2/14) and Athukorala (2/14) bowled Mordialloc into the grand final.

The grand final commences at Springvale South’s Alex Nelson Reserve from 5.15pm on 18 February.

SPORT DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION Turf 1 - Round 9 (day 2)

Eagles pick on Bear flesh

By JARROD POTTER ANOTHER outright victory, this time miraculously from a 99-run first innings tally, rocketed Cranbourne clear of the chasing pack in the race for DDCA finals.

PARKFIELD v CRANBOURNE With two innings completed on the first day, Cranbourne (6/173dec) was able to set the pace on Saturday in the only way it knows how - through and over the boundary. The stand and deliver play from Te Ahu Davis (38) two fours, three sixes - Ben Maroney (33) - five fours and a six - and captain Steven Spoljaric (28 not out) - six fours - left the Bears sore and sorry after the opening salvo, despite the best efforts of Nilochana Perera (3/61) and Shane Bell (2/70).

Taking only 41 overs to flog a whopping 225-run lead, Spoljaric sent his troops back in to his former clubrooms at Dunblane Reserve in order to hunt down outright win number three this season.

Despite a gallant knock from Perera (72), the rest of the Bears’ cove crumbled under pressure from Steven Miller (4/24) - promoted from Turf 3 this round - and Martin Kelly (2/23). Perera would hole out to Davis off Miller at 6/145 and from there on it was a matter of when, not if, Cranbourne would snare the maximum triumph.

The win gives the Eagles an eightpoint lead atop the DDCA Turf 1 table before its first versus second showdown against Springvale South this round. Parkfield sits 10 points out of the final four and will need a miracle

from here to have a chance at defending their 2013/14 premiership.

LYNDALE v SPRINGVALE SOUTH The Bloods (7/181) did enough to knock off Lyndale (170) in a tense runchase at Barry Powell Reserve. After the top order fell in a heap, the revival was left to Harry Staude (57) and Jackson Sketcher (27), adding 55 for the fifth wicket. Their partnership was ripped apart by Jaime Brohier (2/26) who trapped Sketcher in front and put Springvale South back on the defensive once again. Staude’s effort would be emulated by Nathan King (36) who batted down the order and came up with the match-defining partnership. Their 78-run stand would prove enough to get past the gallant Lyndale effort, led by Ricky Foulstone (2/38) and Quyen Pham (2/51).

A tantalising top-of-the-table clash between the Bloods and Eagles is on the cards this round at Casey Fields while Lyndale heads to Parkfield.

DANDENONG WEST v NORTH DANDENONG Arise Alex Blake (108) after a match-winning century guided North Dandenong (6/224dec) to a near outright victory over Dandenong West (143 and 7/101). Spiralling out of control at 5/58, the Northerners were in dire straits before Blake and Clay McCartney (30) seized control of the task at hand. The duo knocked in 68 for the sixth wicket before McCartney holed out, leaving Blake to guide the effort alongside Caleb Millman (31 not out).

Blake would raise the bat on an emphatic inaugural DDCA century before Shane Clark called his troops back in

after 46 overs.

Needing 81 to avoid outright defeat, the Bulls were charged through, but luckily had enough in the tank to push towards 7/101 by stumps. Dandenong West sits ninth and faces Buckley Ridges this week while North Dandenong is sixth and part of the five-way logjam for two spots in the finals as it faces Heinz Southern Districts this round.

HALLAM KALLORA PARK v COOMOORA Gallant in defeat, Coomoora (166 and 1/75) didn’t just fold in the face of a whopping tally from Hallam Kalora Park (6/265). Led by Charith Fernando (48) and Saliya Saman (26), the real damage to the Hawks came from their own bowlers as they sprayed 30 extras in the 55-over innings. It would pose no real difference in the long term as Ben Hall (3/19), Will Whyte (2/19) and Amila Perera (2/41) took the visitors to task - causing a seven-wicket slump. The Kangaroos fell from 3/114 to dismissed for 166 in the blink of an eye and requiring another 99 to avoid outright defeat, were sent back in for Round 2.

This time around the Kangaroos held their own as Lance Baptist (40 not out) and Saman (25 not out) ensured the day’s play was reached without risk of another outright loss. The win has Hallam Kalora Park sitting only percentage outside the top four before its clash with Mordialloc while Coomoora’s second last chance to earn some points this season comes against Berwick at home this round.

BUCKLEY RIDGES v MORDIALLOC The Bloodhounds (290) sniffed out

North Dandenong’s Jurgen Andersen takes that long walk past the Dandenong West celebrations after losing his wicket. 134247 Picture: JARROD POTTER a monster win over Buckley Ridges (96 and 4/76), led by a superb fourwicket haul from captain Chathura Athukorala (4/32). Buckley Ridges

VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET - Round 16 (day 1) VSDCA South East 1st XI - Round 11 (day 1)

Stray protects Rams from Panthers

By JARROD POTTER THE tough days in the field are not going away for Dandenong as Ringwood (5/341) piled on the pain at Shepley Oval.

With hot, windy conditions ideally favouring neither side, the Rams took the initiative first as captain Tom Stray (158 not out) smashed his best Premier Cricket tally.

The early strike from Justin Butterfield (1/67) was about the only joy the Panthers could muster as Stray cantered past the opposition’s attack.

Stray - in tandem with David King (44) - knocked in 79 for the second wicket before Dan Doran (1/64) - who enjoyed the gusty wind pushing across his off-spinners at the pavilion end - picked up his solitary wicket of the afternoon.

The pressure would only mag-

nify from there for Dandenong as Stray and Ian Holland (90) put on the match-defining partnership - a Herculean 173-run stand to all but sink Dandenong’s resolve on the first day.

Young paceman Adam McMaster (2/51) snared career best figures as he kept the ball up to Stray and Holland throughout the afternoon and eventually forced the false shot from Holland 10 shy of his century.

Stray was unbeaten at stumps and will resume on Saturday.

WOMEN Twenty20 - Round 17 ACTION at Greaves Reserve did not bode any better for Dandenong Lions (4/99), who were eclipsed by Essendon Maribyrnong-Park (6/105) in the dying stages of their Twenty20.

After losing the early scalps of Erica Kershaw (1) and Chelsea Moscript (2), the Dandenong renais-

sance would be ignited by captain Kelly Applebee (39). Applebee took hold of the innings and with Shelly Hart (28 not out), led the Lions. Hart would carry on with seconds’ skipper Carin Eastburn (15 not out) to push the Lions all but past the triple figure mark from their 20 overs.

In response, Essendon-Maribyrnong Park had similar top-order issues as Australian quick Julie Hunter (2/8) stormed in. When Primrose Wohlers (1/15) took the third scalp, the visitors were 3/24 and looking down the same barrel of defeat that Dandenong once gazed upon. A resolute knock from Natalie Schilov (34) made the difference alongside a better than run a ball innings from Jane Neil (17 not out) to knock over the Lions. Dandenong sits third on the ladder and hosts Plenty Valley on 21 February.

SMASHING their way through Moorabbin, Endeavour Hills (9/297) made a big statement on the first day of their Round 11 clash.

All Eagles soared against the Moorabbin attack as Thomas Hafil (59) and Zach Allen (34) started off proceedings with a 52 run stand.

Allen fell early LBW, leaving the heavy lifting to Hafil and Shean Vanderwert (47) - to push the Eagles towards the double-century mark.

The next man to cash in was Ben Swift (52) who batted through to the end in a standout performance.

Swift had good support at the other end from Richard Saniga (30) and Vaughan Baxter (15) to give Endeavour Hills one last push towards the looming triple century. The Eagles would fall short by three runs, but no one would be complaining in the Endeavour Hills’ camp as it turned around the indifferent form that banished them from the top six in recent rounds.

SIMILARLY cashing in on the batting friendly conditions, Noble Park (6/287) also made a big play for finals on the back of three stellar half-centuries.

Jake Richardson (60) and Andrew O’Meara (52) found their feet straight away to leave Bayswater Park on the back foot.

The duo notched 74 before both falling in quick succession. More reliable than a swiss clock, superstar batsman Marasinghe Perera (91 not out) would take the rest of the innings under his wing as he notched his sixth half-century-or-better knock and moved to 558 runs for the year.

Perera would only be stopped by the day’s end as Bayswater Park had no answers for the swashbuckling Sri Lankan.

In tandem with Sanjeewa de Silva (29) and Chris Lee (16 not out), the Bulls charged towards 300 and made hard work for the home side next week.
