■ School wine scam claims see principal stood down...

Cork is pulled A KEYSBOROUGH principal has been stood down and investigated by the Education Department following allegations at an anti-corruption inquiry.

Peter Paul was suspended soon after he and his Chandler Park Primary School were named in ongoing Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) hearings on Tuesday 28 April.

The inquiry – titled Operation Ord – is investigating a “banker school” scheme set up for school activities that allegedly funded wine, hotel stays and other perks for Victorian education public servants.

During the hearings it was revealed that Mr Paul had authorised nearly $30,000 of wine purchases from his wine merchant son’s company Trembath and Taylor for department bureaucrats from 2007 to 2014.

Former Education Department acting secretary Jeff Rosewarne told the inquiry on the Tuesday that he had stored 186 Italian wine bottles – worth up to $83 each – in his home garage.

The school had bought the bottles for $7325 as well as another two-dozen bottles which were delivered to the home of the department’s school resources director Nino Napoli, who has since been sacked.

Mr Rosewarne told the hearing that the wine was for “departmental purposes” only – to be consumed at work functions and used for gifts – but wasn’t invoiced to the department to avoid media scrutiny.

“Mr Paul made the offer that if I wanted to purchase wine on behalf of the department that his son was in the business and would be happy to supply that wine,” Mr Rosewarne told the Tuesday hearing.

“Mr Paul would be well aware of the sensitivities and issues associated with public servants purchasing alcohol,” he said.

Mr Rosewarne said he was “surprised” that the wine invoices didn’t identify him nor the department as recipients.

He said he requested that the department reimburse the school though he couldn’t say whether the payment was made.

“My understanding is those transactions would have been transparent to the school council at Chandler Park Primary School.”

In 2010, the school bought nearly $5000 of office furniture delivered to Mr Rosewarne’s home. The purchase was allegedly falsely invoiced as “printing” costs.

Mr Rosewarne told the hearing he believed he would have kept Mr Paul and the school’s council “in the dark” about the purchase’s true nature.

“My only rationale would have been to ensure the principal was not asked questions by the school council that he could not answer,” he said.

Mr Rosewarne, who is currently director of the Catholic Education Office, said he couldn’t recall if the department had reimbursed the school for the purchases.

Welded to his work APPRENTICE Alex Woller is well and truly on the right track.

NBN rollout slow to come up to speed

By CASEY NEILL MORE than 1000 jobs and $8.4 million in yearly growth are the costs to business of slow internet in the south east.

These were among the findings of a report released on Monday 27 April by the Southern Melbourne Regional Development Australia (RDA) Committee and Greater Dandenong, Kingston and Frankston councils.

They are using the results to urge National Broadband Network (NBN) Co to review its rollout priorities.

The report, based on a survey of 322 businesses that employ more than 6500 people, concluded that inadequate internet access was constraining innovation.

More than 70 per cent of respon-

dents said their productivity would improve by up to 20 per cent if they were connected to high-speed broadband.

More than 25 per cent would seriously consider relocating to access it and two thirds were unhappy with their current internet service.

Southern Melbourne RDA committee member Tony Lupton wants the report to change the narrative about NBN. “It’s not just about downloading movies,” he said.

Fellow member Lyndon Joss said NBN Co had to achieve connection targets and that domestic connections were easier and faster to complete.

“Businesses are not getting the connection they need and they’re suffering,” he said.

Mr Joss said some businesses were spending thousands of dollars – sometimes more than $20,000 – to install their own improved internet connections.

“They can’t wait any more because they can’t get any information about when it’ll go in,” he said.

Regional Development Minister Jaala Pulford launched the report at printing business Nulab Professional Imaging in Braeside.

Nulab owner Michael Warshall, said it could take hours to download a single job.

“Our business totally depends on the internet,” he said.

“As technology improves, files get bigger. If we can’t get them in time, we can’t print them in time and we can’t send them in time.

“Customers are going elsewhere.

This is making us less competitive, it’s holding us back.”

An NBN Co spokesperson said the company’s goal was to make fast broadband available to all Australian homes and businesses by 2020.

“Economic and physical resource constraints prevent us connecting everyone at the same time,” a statement said.

“As a result, we must build the network in a systematic, efficient and cost effective manner.

“We are working hard to do this as quickly as possible and at least cost to Australians.

“Ultimately, nobody will miss out.”

Redevelopment knocks out croquet club DANDENONG Croquet Club hosted its final match last week ending its 90-plus year tenure in Dandenong Park.

President Bill Jacobs has been with the club for five years but said others had been members for more than three decades and left with broken hearts on Tuesday 28 April.

“It was a very sad day.

“We tried to keep on the bright side but it was a sad day,” he said.

The closure followed the neighbouring Dandenong City Bowling Club playing its last end in February this year. City of Greater Dandenong had offered to relocate the clubs and a kindergarten so it could demolish the buildings to use the site in a redevelopment of the park.

But the impending closure made it hard for the croquet club to hold onto its already-dwindling membership base.

“We had a meeting in mid-February where we just knew we couldn’t keep going, so we decided to close at the end of April,” Mr Jacobs said.

“We would have only kept about six people in a

relocation. It would have been impossible to pay for everything.”

Member Joan, 90, will continue to play croquet with a Ringwood club while Mr Jacobs and several team-mates will move to Frankston.

“It’s a fun game and it’s social and you get out in the open air and you meet people,” he said. “You have

to be very accurate and it’s a very competitive game as well.”

Members planned to dine at Hallam Hotel on Saturday as a final farewell but Mr Jacobs said they’d all stay in touch. “The people who belong to the club have been the best gang of mates and supporters a bloke could ever have,” he said.

Principal stood down over wine scam claims From page 1 The department’s south east regional director John Allman has been sacked after admitting to the hearing on Wednesday that he destroyed financial documents involving Silverton Primary School in Noble Park.

The inquiry heard a taped con- Principal Peter Paul. versation in which Mr Allman told Mr Napoli not to tell IBAC investigators about the Silverton arrangement.

Mr Allman told the inquiry that Mr Napoli granted “several hundred thousand dollars” - that was additional to the normal student resource package - to the school over several years.

The funds were not of direct benefit to the school but could be used for projects “at the whim or at the request” of south east regional office executives, Mr Allman told the hearing.

Mr Allman said he couldn’t find records of the dealings, which he thought would be kept at home.

Later in the hearing, he conceded he tore up and threw out “a lot of documents at my home” some into a bin at a Bunnings store - soon after a visit from eight IBAC investigators.

“I went into somewhat of a panic after eight IBAC officers visited my home.

“I did have something to hide.

“The banker school arrangement has never been a legitimate practice of the Education Department,” he said.

Mr Allman said the funds were used to buy wine for staff functions but weren’t bought from the son of Chandler Park Primary principal Peter Paul.

He denied the funds were used for his personal expenses.

An Education Department spokesman said the department was “deeply concerned by what we heard at IBAC”.

Chandler Park’s assistant principal Naomi Reed will act as principal during the investigation into Mr Paul.

In a letter to the school’s parents on 28 April, the department stated: “We must stress that allegations are exactly that.”

The Journal was unable to contact Mr Paul for comment.

Dark waters of the city’s hidden demons 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. WHEN we were children, every second place in Dandenong had a ghost or demon, or a mean old owner who, if you went near this house or barn, would kick your arse or sool his savage dogs onto you.

There were trolls beneath the McCrae Street bridge and a strange crocodile-like creature that lived under the low wooden bridge on Kidds Road.

That story made us scared of every submerged log that washed beneath the bridge.

There were creatures called Hobyahs who lived under the old Memorial Hall in Langhorne Street.

In the dark of night they emerged from the free-standing brick morgue in Crump Lane, at the rear of the Lonsdale Street coffin makers, and crept along the open brick drain to beneath the Memorial Hall.

JACK LOOKS

BACK

JACK JOHNSON

They had pointy heads and long sharp fingernails like pitchforks on long bony fingers.

When they got you in the chaff bag they would poke the hell out of you.

At the time the Memorial Hall was a weatherboard building with a corrugated galvanized iron roof.

It was set to the back of the block with vacant land on either side.

The open brick drain ran diagonally through the front garden of the property and was spanned by a rustic bridge.

In front of the hall, erected as a monument, was a heavy field artillery cannon and behind that a squat Canary Island palm.

Both the hall and the cannon were memorials to the men who served and lost their lives in World War I. This gun was a horse-drawn howitzer cannon with steel wheels and carriage and was the type of field artillery used in World War II before motor vehicles were introduced.

We admired this gun as we hurried past the Memorial Hall on our way to the town hall or to Mr Crump’s store.

A lot of our fear disappeared when we advanced far enough to be able to read those famous old grade readers stories at St Mary’s Primary School.

But, when we were young and innocent, fear and hatred were easily

instilled into our receptive but naive minds.

It took us at least a year after hearing the scary stories before we were game enough to go into the grounds and walk over that old bridge and play around the awesome cannon.

Today when I watch some of the cave scenes and weird creatures from Lord of the Rings I am amazed at the similarities between them and the ones the big kids scared us with.

They would definitely not have been reading Tolkien and I am sure their reading and comprehension skills did not extend beyond the Ginger Meggs comic in The Sun newspaper or the Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and Phantom comic books of our day.

Another story the big kids scared us with concerned the lagoon that developed in the clay pit of the Centennial Brick Works in Railway Parade

behind the Murray Harrow Works.

They told us the lagoon was bottomless and had everything from large steam engines to dead bodies and ghosts within its icy depths.

We played around the lagoon but never dared put a toe in that water.

By the time we were going there in the early 1930s it was a large waterhole, overflowing into some of the surrounding areas, most of which were covered by tall bamboo like reeds.We explored this crystal-clear lagoon and caught goldfish with a bent pin on a piece of cotton.

We bought them home in a jam tin and kept them in a cut-out kerosene tin among the maidenhair fern in mum’s fernery which we had collected from the moss covered banks of the Dandenong Creek in the area between the McCrae Street and the Kidds Road bridges.

“It is always fair to both sides and you can depend on being reported accurately.

“In the wide area the Journal circulates, I doubt if one of you would find anybody who has anything but praise for the newspaper.”

20 years ago 8 May 1995 Oil blaze rocks factory Thick smoke hung over the Dandenong South industrial estate last Thursday afternoon after a factory fire in Ordish Road. About 1000 litres of treated waste oil being trans-

ferred from one production vessel to another caught fire at a factory occupied by Jancassco Pty Ltd. An explosion preceded the fire.

A CFA spokesman said fire-fighters were confronted by flames and a huge plume of smoke upon arriving at the factory shortly after 2.30pm.

5 years ago 3 May 2010 Unsafe toys seized A Dandenong retailer has closed, amid a Supreme Court ruling it sold dangerous toys and baby products.

Inspectors seized more than

10,000 unsafe toys and dummies from Abesta International, trading as “Spare Change“ in Dandenong, Carrum Downs, Thomastown, Geelong and Morwell.

The seized toys will be destroyed.

The Consumer Affairs Minister Tony Robinson said the toys and dummies seized, including the Happy Train, Lovely Baby and Flashing Pacifier Whistle, were poorly designed and breakable.

LOOKING BACK 50 years ago 5 May 1965 Congrats to the Journal Civic business and sporting leaders this week congratulated “The Journal“ on its decision to publish twice weekly, saying it was a “progressive and welcome move“. The Mayor of Dandenong, Cr Maurie Jarvis said: “I am very proud of the Journal as I am of Dandenong... both have a wonderful reputation and are wellknown interstate.

“We are very fortunate in having such a newspaper.

Protest stands still Capri Blinds

& Curtains

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

• Vertical Blinds

TRADERS opposing plans to introduce on-street parking meters held up placards during their unsuccessful attempt to block the move at a council meeting.

Ten spectators held ‘No meter parking in Springvale’ signs as councillor Youhorn Chea launched an unsuccessful rescission motion to scrap the meters.

The protest at the Monday 27 April meeting was the latest attempt

by Springvale traders in their campaign against Greater Dandenong Council’s scheme.

Springvale Asian Business Association (SABA) is sending out 2000 pamphlets to traders, stating its ‘firm opposition’ and urging them to voice their opposition against the ‘revenue raising measure’.

The meters - expected to yield about $900,000 in 2016-’17 - were endorsed by councillors on 13 April.

After the meeting, SABA spokesman Stan Chang angrily denied the council’s claims that SABA supported the move and that the business group was formally consulted.

Mr Chang said the last time he spoke to council officers about their proposal was during a ‘preliminary’and ‘confidential’ discussion on ‘dozens of issues’ in 2013.

“I didn’t give an indication of support.

“If the council thinks they’ve done their homework in the interests of traders, then consult with traders and put the case to them first.”

He warned that most traders were against metered parking because they were worried that shoppers would desert them for similar retail strips in Clayton and Glen Waverley. Under questioning at the

meters, warned Springvale could be sent ‘back to the Dark Ages’.

“Springvale has meant a lot to a lot of people over the years.

“A lot of people came together and changed ‘Heroin City’ to ‘Sensational Springvale’.

“Once you destroy Springvale you can put it back.”

Mayor Sean O’Reilly last week offered a flexible approach to the council’s stated plans to increase the $1.20-an-hour fees over the next four years in line with Dandenong’s parking rates.

“There’s no reason we can’t decrease the charges if they’re shown to have a detrimental impact.”

In justifying the move, the coun-

cil said that meters would help drive motorists into the under-utilised No.8 car park and decongest street parking which is up to 97 per cent full on Friday and Saturday peak-times.

“The meters aren’t there to generate revenue, Cr O’Reilly said.

“We’re attaching a nominal cost to parking so then people start to think (about how long they need to park).”

Cr O’ Reilly said it was ‘true to a small degre’ that some shoppers might opt for Clayton and Glen Waverley.

“On the other hand how many people now don’t come to Springvale due to the congestion,” Cr O’Reilly said.

meeting, city planning director Jody Bosman said he stood by a council report’s assertion that SABA was consulted and would support the meters if revenue was invested in central Springvale.

He said last week that a communication strategy to engage with local traders and trader groups would ‘now be developed’.

“The strategy will also include community information and education as well as particulars related to the process of managing the phasing-in of enforcement of paid parking and the enforcement of long existing time restrictions already in the area.”

Flash couple sparkle

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AT FIRST, Shirley didn’t think much of her future husband when they met at a Dandenong town hall dance more than 60 years ago.

When her suitor Neil Lowe - a blow-in from Richmond wearing a Victorian Scottish Regiment kilt - asked the Springvale lass if he could take her home, she told him he better have a “flash” car.

Neil, being quite the motoring enthusiast, produced a 1935 twoblues, six-cylinder Chevy.

“It was a flash car in those days,” he beams.

“He looked after that car like a baby,” Shirley said.

Even so, Shirley’s girlfriend also came along for the drive that night.

The wooing gathered apace.

Neil introduced Shirley to

the inner-city - ice-skating at St Moritz, spiffy restaurants like the underground diner Orpheus with “flash knives and forks” and cabaret shows at the Tivoli theatre.

The pair built a cosy house on a big block with gum trees in Harrisfield.

They settled there for many years, metres from their two sons’ state school.

Now their two sons are in their fifties, spawning six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Neil and Shirley moved into a spacious comfortable home, still within their walking distance to Parkmore shopping centre.

Last month, the entrenched couple couldn’t be prouder of the stream of congratulatory letters from Queen Elizabeth II, Governor-General Peter Cosgrove and local MPs for their diamond

wedding anniversary (60 years).

Dignitaries’ letters marking their 50th anniversary are framed and hung respectfully on a feature wall, along with handsome black-and-white photos of their wedding day at Church of Christ, Springvale, on 16 April 1955.

“It’s very nice to be thought of,” Shirley said.

Every day the couple walk together to Parkmore Shopping Centre.

They marked the occasion with a meal out at Keysborough Hotel on 16 April, backed up by a family event the following weekend.

“We’ve had a great life together,” Shirley said.

“We’ve been healthy most of the time.

“The best thing in marriage is to really communicate and be friends.”

Clarinda MP Hong Lim, in comments sent to the Phnom Penh Post, said he was “ashamed” of Cambodia and Australia over the muiti-million dollar memorandum of understanding with Cambodia to resettle refugees who have agreed to leave Nauru detention centre.

He labelled the deal a “$40 million bribe” of Hun Sen’s “most brutal, corrupt and inept

government in Asia”.

“This immoral deal imposed on Cambodia is most condescending, patronising and racist, to say the least,” he wrote to the Post.

Under the arrangement the Australian Government has agreed to pay Cambodia to provide housing, education and employment for any refugees who are willing to settle in Cambodia.

“This dirty deal is only possible because the Australian Government knows that no other Asian countries, with any thread of dignity and decency, would

accept such an insulting proposition,” he told the Post.

“Australia is now the most hated Western country in Cambodia and is the only Western nation that have had two demonstrations held against it in front of its embassy in Phnom Penh due to this dirty refugee deal.”

Mr Lim told the Journal that impoverished Cambodians were enraged by the special treatment afforded the returned refugees.

Cambodia had no history of settling refugees and was wracked by “grinding poverty” and daily human rights violations, he said.

“There will be riots.”

The deal has also been condemned by Cambodian Association of Victoria led by Greater Dandenong councillor Youhorn Chea.

Cr Heang Tak, on behalf of the association, told a 27 April council meeting it was an “inhumane” agreement punishing people fleeing to Australia “not for economic reasons but to escape persecution”.

Cr Tak said refugees being sent to Cambodia would be heading to “a country with no better human rights record” than their homelands.

Senator Mitch Fifield said under the MOU Australia would use its “expertise and experience” to help strengthen settlement support to refugees in Cambodia.

“Australia will bear the direct costs of the arrangement, including initial support to refugees, and relevant capacity building for Cambodia to ensure it has the appropriate resources to receive and integrate the refugees successfully.

“Both governments are working closely to ensure the smooth and successful implementation of this arrangement in co-operation with UNHCR.”

Driver hurt in police van smash THREE people have been hospitalised after a police van travelling through a red light was struck by another vehicle in Dandenong North on Thursday morning.

A police spokeswoman said the police van on “urgent duty” and with flashing lights was driven south on Gladstone Road through the Heatherton Road intersection about 1.40am.

Its rear end was hit by a car travelling east on Heatherton Road.

The car’s driver - a 46-year-old Narre Warren South man - was taken to Dandenong Hospital with minor grazes and burns from his car’s activated airbag.

Two female police officers were taken to Dandenong Hospital also with minor injuries.

Hand up THE owner of a severed finger found in a ute tray in Hallam has come forward.

He contacted police after media reports about the tip of a little finger with fingernail which was found on 27 April. Police said the incident was the result of misadventure and that the man in his thirties was in “good spirits”.

Court takes a soft approach

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAGISTRATE has refused to “further punish” a Noble Park mother who was estranged from her son for months after being reported to police for grabbing and dragging him to the breakfast table.

The 39-year-old woman has been removed from the family home under an interim intervention order since the incident last September, the court heard last week.

She was now living in shared-accommodation, had separated from her husband and had only “very limited” contact with her primary-school aged son, the court heard on Monday 27 April.

“Many parents will be thinking ‘there but for the grace of God go I’,” the magistrate said.

“I must say it’s a very amplified outcome. This has had fairly dramatic and severe consequences for her, and her son

to some extent. There’s nothing in the material to suggest this was a repeating (event).

“There’s nothing to suggest that it was appropriate for her not to have contact with her son.”

The accused had dragged her son “a short way” from his bedroom after he didn’t answer her calls to have breakfast and assist her in the kitchen before school, a police prosecutor told the court.

At school that day, the principal observed the boy’s distress and reported the boy’s story and bruised upper arm to authorities.

The prosecutor said the woman explained to police that she was angry with her son for not coming to breakfast.

She allegedly denied causing bruising to his upper arm, saying the injury could have happened in the school playground.

When shown photos of the bruising, the magistrate said

the marks were consistent with “finger marks” and an “assault by grabbing him too hard”.

The court heard the mother was suffering severe varicose vein pain at the time that prevented her from standing for more than an hour.

The accused’s lawyer said the mother apologised, hugged and kissed the boy when he returned home that day.

He told her “everything was fine”, the lawyer said.

With police agreement, the magistrate downgraded the intervention order to a limited one and imposed a six-month goodbehaviour bond.

“In some ways that’s an unusual sentence for an offence involving a seven-year-old child,” the magistrate said.

“It seems to me the proper context for understanding the offence against your son was you were experiencing severe (medical) difficulty yourself.

Offenders broke into the first factory on Swift Way about 11am on Monday 6 April, stealing $30,000 worth of racing car sim-

ulator seats and large televisions.

Five days later another Swift Way factory - which supplied items for a hobby shop - was broken into about 5am on Saturday 11 April and the thieves made off with $4000 worth of remote control cars, helicopters and boats.

A model buggy was also sto-

len from the second factory. Police investigating the burglaries believe they could be connected and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Square name disharmony

ENTERTAINMENT Friday 8th May Marceau Camille Members Draw Mega Meat Raffle

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council has finally settled for Harmony Square as the name for its giant civic square but not without a note of discord.

On Monday night, councillors endorsed the name - more than 12 months after the square was open and after two rounds of public consultation.

More than half of 170 public submitters opted for the name ahead of the other shortlisted options International Square, Opportunity Square, Welcome Square and Wurundjeri Square.

A council report on Monday night stated the name reflected Greater Dandenong’s “embracing culture where people of all ages and stages can live in peace and harmony”.

Cr Matthew Kirwan said the

name captured the “essence of Dandenong”.

“The essence of our city is it’s a multicultural city.”

Cr Roz Blades said she’d back the popular choice, though preferring Wurundjeri Square in recognition of the region’s original inhabitants.

Other councillors lauded the name for representing the inclusion of diverse groups and nationalities.

Cr John Kelly labelled the name a “fluffy word” that didn’t “gel” with him.

He referred to the recent lack of harmony when the square was beset with brawls and assaults.

“I’d like to leave it without a name.

“It means zilch to me. It means nothing to a lot of people in this city.”

Cr Peter Brown preferred the current moniker “the civic square”, saying Harmony Square lacked “essence”.

Cr Kirwan retorted that it was “disrespectful” for councillors to endorse the shortlist and then dismiss the community’s choice.

The square on the corner of Thomas and Walker streets has proven a popular stage for live entertainment, sport on the big screen and Dandenong on Wheels. The name will be formally submitted to the Office of Geographic Names for endorsement.

Greater Dandenong business director Paul Kearsley said on Monday that the name - when ticked by the OGN - could be possibly celebrated with large writing on the square’s grassy knoll.

Big screen adverts get a break COMMERCIAL advertising is set to hit Dandenong Civic Square’s big screen.

Greater Dandenong councillors approved a report on Monday last week for the big screen to feature advertisements for up to five per cent of the time - or 24 minutes a day - during business hours.

Under the policy, content

can’t be derogatory, discriminatory or offensive and must be suitable for a general audience.

The council will charge up to $2000 a month for six to eight daily screenings, but offer free advertising for what it considers to be community services.

The report suggested the council could use the revenue to develop its own video content

library. The 32 square metre screen has been airing content 24/7 for a “sense of movement and activity as well as light during the night hours” since the square’s opening in March 2014.

Content has included freeto-air news, sport events and weather, council-made programs, arts, and promotion of upcoming events.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… A DANDENONG rugby club has blasted its quads for a cause.

The South East Titans joined Genesis Fitness Club Dandenong in its Squat-A-Thon for the premier’s Active April campaign.

They teamed up on Monday 27 April to complete 6215 squats within 15 minutes, making a total 62,247 squats from all participants during the two-week challenge.

MAYOR Sean O’Reilly earned a new nickname last week.

Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre (SMRC) chairman Brian Oates gave him a lengthy introduction at the official opening of the group’s new home at the former Dandenong council offices.

He detailed his rise to councillor from childhood - calling him Shane throughout.

“My name is Sean O’Reilly,” the

councillor gently corrected.

“But my favourite movie growing up was (Western classic) Shane... so I would be more than happy to be referred to as Shane.”

A VENTURA bus driver saved a couple of damp Anzac Day observers from a cold, dispiriting walk home from the Shrine of Remembrance.

After the moving but bracing service the pair had huddled in a cafe over some warm cuppas only to just miss the free bus back to Dandenong RSL. Not to fear, another bus driver took mercy on them and phoned for his Dandenong-bound colleague to turn back. To round off the silver service, the couple were dropped off at their Dandenong home’s doorstep.

NOT so happy on Anzac Day were

Dandenong Market traders.

Several told the Journal they were fine with closing for the national holiday but questioned why management still charged them rent for the day.

DANDENONG RSL President John Wells paused while reading the Anzac Requiem to give a steadfast crowd some respite at a soggy Anzac Day service.

“If you’ve got an umbrella, put it up for heaven’s sake,” he said.

“Don’t get wet just to be polite.

It might not help the person behind you to see me, but that might be a good thing.

“Those blokes in uniform tough.”

AFRICAN Communities Foundation Australia (ACFA) has launched an

online petition in a last-ditch bid to keep its doors open.

It’s addressed to Social Services Minister Scott Morrison, urging him to restore federal funding cut earlier this year and has attracted more than 50 signatures on www. change.org.

The federal cash ACFA has received for the past 15 years will disappear from July, causing concern that the specific assistance the group provides will also dry up.

THERE are plenty of defendants who would like to hand-pick their magistrate.

One elderly gent, so enamoured with his assigned judge, refused to budge from the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court gallery recently after a court assistant gently told him several times that his case was being shifted to another courtroom.

IN BRIEF Police take a swipe at negligent car owners

No Princ n 4 to 186 Clay

OPPORTUNISTIC thieves are swiping car keys and then making off with the owner’s car at alarming rates according to police.

Police have responded to a spate of car thefts over recent weeks in which thieves have had access to keys left in plain sight – either in the car itself, on garage walls or in a second vehicle.

In 2014, there were 634 car thefts in the Greater Dandenong Police Service Area – an average of 12 cars per week.

Inspector Bruce Kitchen said the number of cars stolen had dramatically increased to about 20 per week.

“It’s concerning to see that residents aren’t thinking about the consequences of their actions,” he said.

“When you look at how common this type of crime is, it’s astonishing to think that people are still leaving their keys lying around.

“Car thieves look for easy targets. If they have the choice between an unlocked car with keys in the ignition and one that is locked and secure – you know which one they’ll take.

“It’s the sense of complacency that’s driving this crime category through the roof.

“And it’s not just happening in residential locations.

“We’ve seen keys stolen from change rooms in public facilities which have led to the theft of cars parked nearby.

Inspector Kitchen said the solution was simple – owners should keep keys somewhere safe, secure and out of sight.

“And, as always, remember to lock your vehicle, remove your valuables, park in welllit areas and report suspicious behaviour to police.”

Refugees’ new home

By CASEY NEILL A KEY resource for refugees in the south east has a new home in central Dandenong.

Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre (SMRC) officially opened its doors at 39 Clow Street - the former City of Greater Dandenong headquarters - last Tuesday 28 April.

SMRC formed 21 years ago when a handful of people decided refugees needed more support and advocacy in Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia.

Today it offers settlement services, employment programs, driver education, counselling, home tutoring and more.

SMRC chairman Brian Oates said the not for profit agency moved in on Australia Day. “We believe that this office is well-placed and well-appointed to serve our clients,” he said.

He said it was only “200 yards” from its former home on Thomas Street but was much easier to access.

“We’ll be here for a good long time,” he said.

The launch was held in the former council chamber, which Mayor Sean O’Reilly said had hosted many heated discussions.

But he said the council’s decision to rent space to SMRC was an easy one.

“That debate was not so furious and quite unanimous,” he said.

“The SMRC stands as a fine example of how sharing culture and traditions strengthens communities.”

Following speeches, three generations of a Tamil family performed a mesmerising version of Waltzing Matilda and traditional Sri Lankan songs on the guitar-like veenai and drums.

School to make upgrade available to other students

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH ONE of Melbourne’s largest coeducational government schools, with more than 300 students in each year, has undergone a major arts upgrade and is now ready for community use.

The stage three $10 million works at Dandenong High School were completed late last year and were officially opened

by Education Minister James Merlino on Friday 17 April.

The Melaleuca building and refurbished senior science wing will be available for use by other schools and community groups.

It includes a double court gymnasium as well as a performing arts centre and professional standard recording studio, dance studio and 350 seat theatrette.

“These new facilities will be a great asset for Dandenong High School and the local,” Mr Merlino said.

Mr Merlino said the new facilities such as these across Victoria would help give children the best start in life.

“Dandenong High School is recognised for its excellence in education, and these facili-

ties will help students learn and achieve success,” he said.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said the day was significant for students, staff and parents.

“These new facilities will open up more opportunities and support the school in providing a first-rate education,” she said.

Dandenong High School

principal Susan Ogden said the day was not just a school celebration but a community one.

Mr Merlino told the school that it would receive another $3 million for the final part of the upgrade which will include home economics, woodwork and metal work rooms and a new technology centre.

Scan kits to fight cancer DANDENONG Rotarians will do their bit to beat bowel cancer throughout May. Trevor Harding lost his 38-year-old niece Debbie Greer to the disease about 15 years ago.

He’s helping others avoid her fate by running a project that offers $10 Bowelscan kits at Dandenong pharmacies during May. “We have saved five people in the Dandenong area,“ Mr Harding said.

“We give out around about 250 tests.

“We would like to see four or five times that many.“ Participants return the test to their chemist to be sent for testing.

“They detect blood in your system, then they refer you to a doctor to get it checked out further.

“Do not wait for symptoms to appear before acting - it might be too late.“ Kits are available from Terry White Chemists in Dandenong Plaza, Dandenong Central Pharmacy on the corner of Walker and Langhorne streets, and Chemist Warehouse at 265 Lonsdale Street.

Call Mr Harding on 0409 797 730 for more information.

21st Century students need to be creative, lexible, independent thinkers, hence the curriculum at Rivercrest utilises an inquiry learning approach, with students as active partners in their learning. There is a strong environmental focus within the curriculum, with Information Technology being fully integrated into the learning experience.

In 2015, year levels include Early Learning for 3 & 4 year olds, Preparatory, Year 1 and Year 2.

There will be a Year 3 class in 2016.

Clyde R

Rivercrest students are encouraged to see themselves as global citizens.

In addition to acquiring knowledge, they are encouraged to recognise the contribution and responsibility they have to engender greater harmony among the people of the world; they are to be respectful, compassionate, lateral thinkers, who, although prepared to challenge prevailing ideas, will also be relective and sensitive. They will be people who are able to communicate efectively and work collaboratively with others. They will be challenged to become globally-minded citizens who epitomise Christ’s commission to love and serve others.

Springvale

Hub shops are set to take off SPRINGVALE’S shopping hub – bolstered by a new railway station, level-crossing removal and an Asian gateway - is set to spread its wings, says Greater Dandenong Mayor Sean O’Reilly.

The council is set to investigate ways to further beautify the bustling retail district, such as introducing new streetscaping designs linking the railway station to Balmoral Avenue.

“For me it’s clear Springvale is one of the only areas in the south east that you can have an Asian shopping experience with a variety of competitive restaurants.

Have you been injured? We can help.

Our team in Springvale can help you with: • WorkCover

• Asbestos claims

• Hearing loss

• Transport accidents

“It’s one of the only places where you can buy Asian ingredients for particular recipes.

“We’re looking at what we can do to further enhance Springvale as a destination.”

The removal of the detested Springvale Road level crossing last year not only freed up traffic – by foot and by vehicle – but opened up opportunities on the long-neglected north side.

One of the new sparks in the northern shopping strip is a proposed supermarket in VicRoads’ former offices.

Medium-density residential units are also sprouting on the north side.

Cr O’Reilly said activity would also spread further south with the anticipated completion of the council’s $45 million civic site and library redevelopment.

“There’s such a build-up of activity around the market area at the moment.

“If we can spread it out further north and then (south) with the civic-site redevelopment, we’ll be able to manage the area’s activity even better and grow Springvale more.”

The 12-metre tall $750,000

Asian gateway – after years of bickering – has been well-received as a stunning landmark.

Cr O’Reilly said the prominent archway would add “vibrancy” to the business activity centre and reinforce Springvale’s status as an Asian hub. “(The archway) is twice as big as the one in (Melbourne’s) Chinatown.

“The traders are just so good at working hard and getting customers.

“The main thing we can help with now is with the traffic and parking.”

COVER STORY

OFF TO A FLYING START \VILLAWOOD PROPERTIES, DELARAY

THE launch of a new residential community is generally accompanied by a combination of anticipation, excitement and nerves.

And so it was with the launch of Villawood Properties’ Delaray community in Clyde North.

Any potential fears were misplaced, however, with impressive levels of interest in the first stage of this project which, upon completion, will feature more than 1000 homes.

The less than ideal weather conditions proved no deterrent to a steady stream of potential residents and the high levels of interest have continued.

While Delaray has much to commend it location, quality housing mix, extensive public open space, including wetlands - it was the exclusive residents’ club which has thus far proved the main talking point and attraction.

A large proportion of the initial purchasers have cited the club as their main motivation for buying.

“People are attracted to the residents’ club for two main reasons.

“Firstly, it comes with an amazing array of features such as the swimming pools, gymnasium café and parents’ lounge, to name a few,” said Villawood Properties executive director Tony Johnson.

“But more than that, the strong feedback we’re getting is that potential residents see the club as the perfect way for them to immerse themselves into their new community.

“This is precisely the aim we set out to achieve when we design our communities - the combination of great housing, great amenity as well as public spaces, indoors and out, where residents can engage with their community.

“Even at this very early stage, Delaray is showing every sign of delivering on this.”

NEW HOME & LAND

CLYDEVALE UNFOLDS AS THE PLACE TO LIVE IN CLYDE NORTH Unprecedented land sales and perfect positioning see Abiwood’s Clydevale estate leading the charge in the developing suburb of Clyde North as it becomes the popular new location for homebuyers in Melbourne’s south east.

More than 180 blocks of land have been snapped up since the development’s launch in December 2014 as buyers have recognized the perfect combination of lifestyle and location Clydevale offers, making it the ideal new community to call home.

Searching for the ideal home to complement a block of land can be a daunting process for first or second homebuyers which is why Clydevale will house a generous and innovative 42 home display village boasting all the latest designs from many of Melbourne’s best builders, set to open in 2016.

Abiwood’s Clydevale incorporates three precinct areas, the Azure Precinct, Magenta Precinct and the soon to be released Auburn Precinct - and is a dominating presence with a total area covering an impressive 80 hectares of Clyde North.

Construction has already commenced on the first stages of the Clydevale Azure Precinct, including the future display village area.

An outdoors life is encouraged at Clydevale - with more than 12 hectares dedicated to parks, gardens, waterways and

beautifully landscaped open space.

Parks, ponds and playgrounds will delight the children while kilometers of walking and bike tracks provide for inspiring outdoor exercise and adventure.

A quality early education centre and an indoor swimming centre will add to the lifestyle.

Importantly, Clydevale’s justreleased Magenta Precinct includes the new Clyde North

Primary School and sports fields.

Perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from Berwick, 45 minutes from the CBD and a leisurely drive from Phillip Island, Clydevale has the best of all worlds.

Residents will live within walking distance of new regional shopping centres and the new Clyde North Town Centre on Hardys Rd, and close to plenty of established amenities - including

a host of excellent schools, tertiary education options and Casey Fields sporting facilities.

Clydevale is another signature project developed by Melbournebased developer Abiwood which is committed to creating vibrant, connected and sustainable communities - places where people can enjoy their homes, their neighborhoods and their life.

Whether a young couple

searching for their first home, a family seeking more space or someone who’s looking for a whole new lifestyle to enjoy, it’s all here at Clydevale.

The Clydevale sales office is open from noon to 5pm every day at 660 Berwick-Cranbourne Road, corner Hardys Road, Clyde North.

For more information phone Clydevale sales agent Daniel Begley on 0478 487 454 or visit www.clydevaleliving.com.au.

NEW HOME & LAND

COLLECTION IN THE ARENA The successful AVJennings community Arena at Officer is coming to a close with the final townhome currently under construction and due for completion in the next few months.

It is the recent, overwhelming success of the AVJennings townhome product at Arena that saw the final 10 homes released for sale.

The Chelsea Collection townhomes are the final properties at Arena and all have superior frontage on to Heatherbrae Reserve.

The two-storey, three-bedroom homes have been carefully

designed to maximise light and comfort in a practical and contemporary style.

Each home also includes stainless steel appliances, a separate laundry, built-in wardrobes to all bedrooms, garage with remote controlled door and access to recycled water and the National Broadband Network.

Besides the thoughtful design and desirable natural surrounds, residents of Arena can enjoy the convenience of their own shopping village on the corner of Cardinia Road and Princes Highway.

The village, which is already

a hub for residents, has a Woolworths supermarket, Arena Café, Reject Shop, takeaway food outlets and beautician, and with the addition of a McDonalds at the corner, there’s something for the whole family!

According to AVJennings Victoria State General Manager Peter Vlitas, as well as its location, part of Arena’s appeal is that almost one quarter of the estate is dedicated to parklands, sports fields, playgrounds and wetlands.

“Arena at Officer is a thriving, vibrant community, so it’s little wonder that buyers have been quick to see the value in properties here,” Mr Vlitas said.

The Chelsea Townhome collection is available for purchase and priced from $375,000.

With only 10 homes remaining, time is of the essence for those

interested in joining the thriving community that has grown at Arena.

Good fit for heritage

By CASEY NEILL Jill Thomson was presented with her award in Sydney.

Teacher is honoured

matching jackets, admiring the fine hand stitching on some of the finishes.

“The visitors particularly enjoyed looking at an evening dress with a huge chiffon skirt, which almost spilled over the edges of the table.

“Several visitors had a lot of knowledge about vintage textiles to share with the rest of us.”

Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS Ms Owens said Dr Hart’s bowler was among the hats examined, along with some handmade ladies’ hats from elegant Melbourne shops such as the Block Arcade.

“One hat had been made in England for the former Victorian department store Buckley and Nunn, another hat had a tag inside that said Made in France,” she said.

Kitty Owens, centre, with one of Dorothy Hart’s dresses. 137465 Ms Owens is a freelance social history curator and was an Artist in Residence at Heritage Hill in 2013.

“I previously did an art installation based on the collection related to Benga and I am interested in innovative ways visitors can experience heritage sites and collections,” she said.

Blind drunk driver’s crash snapped power pole

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN who drove without his glasses as well as being blind drunk has been ordered off the road for two years.

Mohan Kanapathypillai, 45, pleaded guilty to careless driving and driving under the influence after his veering car snapped a power-pole next to Lightwood Avenue, Noble Park, about 7am on 9 August.

His blood-alcohol reading, which was taken when he was admitted to hospital

soon after the crash, was .206 – four times the legal limit.

Kanapathypillai conceded in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 20 April that he lied to police when he told them he had a “couple of small glasses of Johnnie Walker and Cokes” while playing cards at a friend’s house the night before.

He said he had tried to drive home after a “couple of hours of sleep” and being unable to find his glasses at the time.

The accused estimated he drank the

same amount perhaps every two or four weeks, admitting he sometimes drank until he passed out.

Magistrate Gerard Bryant told the accused in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that he must have “consumed a considerable amount of alcohol”.

“You would have had to have had half a bottle of Scotch or more, mixed with a splash of Coke.

“You can’t blame your friends. I’m sure they didn’t pin you down and pour the alcohol down your throat.”

Mr Bryant cancelled Kanapathypillai’s licence for two years, hoping it would give him time to “address the underlying causes” of his heavy drinking.

The accused was also placed on a 12-month community correction order including alcohol treatment and counselling, and attendance at a road-trauma awareness seminar.

“You were very lucky to walk away,” Mr Bryant said.

“You had hit the pole with sufficient force for it to snap in two.”

SPRINGVALE Park Special Developmental School teacher Jill Thomson was awarded for her services to students with autism at the 2015 Aspect National Recognition Awards.

Ms Thomson had run a teen club within the school which offered students aged 14 to 18 years old the opportunity to develop new friendships and go on weekend outings.

Recognised at the award ceremony in Sydney on Thursday 16 April, Ms Thomson said the club fostered the students’ independence, allowed them to experience activities in the local and wider community and, most importantly, to have fun.

“It also gives families some respite so parents can visit friends, go out for a meal or to the movies and spend quality time with their other children,” she said.

Ms Thomson volunteered as the club co-ordinator for eight years and dedicated her time on Friday evenings and weekends without anyone knowing the position was voluntary.

She said the award was an unexpected honour.

DRESSES and hats from Dandenong’s past delighted visitors at Heritage Hill this month.

They joined artist and curator Kitty Owens to view and discuss pieces from the Dorothy Hart Collection on 14 April during Heritage Week.

Mrs Hart owned Benga House, part of the Heritage Hill site on McCrae Street, from 1936 to 1987.

The family donated the hats and dresses to the City of Greater Dandenong in the late 1980s.

“Each item was unpacked in front of the group, providing us all with a surprise as it was unwrapped,” Ms Owens said.

She provided a mother and daughter and some ladies on an outing from a retirement village with background on the house and family.

“Ian Hart was a local doctor, and one of the ladies in the audience had met him,” she said.

“Mrs Dorothy Hart was a skilled dressmaker and we suspect made many of the dresses.

“We looked at mainly 1950s era dresses, all in excellent condition, some with

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to spoil Mum on Mother’s Day.

Make mum feel more special THIS Mother’s Day, let mum know how appreciated and loved she is.

Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to shower mum with gifts and show her how much she means.

But when there are little ones, even the simplest gesture speaks volumes.

Kids, here are some easy (and cheap!) ways to spoil mum on Mother’s Day. A thoughtful gift such as breakfast in bed or a homemade card is sure to bring a smile to your mum’s dial.

Start out by making your mum a cup of her favourite beverage - such as tea or coffee.

Then, while she’s relaxing in bed sipping on her drink, get to work on breakfast.

If you’re not a whiz in the kitchen, something simple like fruit with yoghurt or porridge will do the trick.

For something with a bit more effort, whip up a batch of French toast or pancakes, or go all out and make bacon and eggs.

Make your mum a card with a heartfelt message.

If you want to continue the culinary efforts, get the family together for a special Mother’s Day meal, where your mum doesn’t have to lift a finger.

Pick some flowers from your backyard and create a bouquet for a sure-fire winning present.

Channel your inner do-it-yourselfer and make your mum a painting.

Take a walk with mum for a heart-to-heart or simply enjoy some quiet time together.

Put on her favourite movie and get her to relax.

And if you want to go all-out with something more extravagant, talk to dad and see if he can chip in for a luxurious spa treatment or some jewellery. And last, but not least, don’t forget to tell your mum “I love you”.

Happy Mother’s Day.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Fresh state train order saves Bombardier jobs

By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG’S Bombardier will receive an order for 21 new train carriages in next week’s State Budget, securing 64 jobs.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said work on the VLocity order was expected to start in the middle of next year.

The first carriages will be serving V/ Line passengers by late 2017, she said, and the order will be completed by the end of 2018.

“This investment of more than $250 million will secure a pipeline of work for the Dandenong manufacturing industry and help create 64 jobs,” Ms Williams said on Friday 1 May. The new carriages form part of the State Government’s Rolling Stock Strategy, which is to be released with the 2015’16 Budget on Tuesday 5 May and set out a long term plan for delivering Victoria’s trains and trams.

Bombardier managing director Rene Lalande said the VLocity was the “regional train Victorians deserve”.

“We welcome the government’s announcement for the 21 new VLocity cars with more than 60 per cent local content

A Bombardier VLocity train. and world-class reliability,” he said.

Last month The Journal reported that jobs were on the line while Bombardier waited for the State Government to order more trams.

The company is halfway through delivering 50 E-Class trams for a State Govern-

ment contract that finishes in December next year.

The contract had the option for a further 100 trams and a spokeswoman said Bombardier hoped an order for at least some of these would be in the 2015-’16 State Budget.

She said the rail giant needed a new work order by November to secure supplier contracts and its existing team in order to avoid having to reduce its 430-strong workforce.

South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Nina Springle called for an immediate order for 50 trams, in line with Public Transport Victoria advice on tram network needs.

“Dandenong’s Bombardier factory is one of the manufacturing success stories in Melbourne and is vitally important to the people who work there, their families and the local economy,” she said.

“As well, 90 of the 300 businesses that supply parts to Bombardier are also based in Dandenong - and these businesses and workers also face uncertainty until the government commits to a new tram order.”

A spokesman for Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan refused to commit to an order but said the Rolling Stock Strategy would “give certainty to manufacturers”.

“The strategy will end ad hoc procurement of trains and trams, give certainty to manufacturers, and ensure the number of trains and trams on the network keeps pace with patronage increases,” he said.

Apprentice has his pedal to the mettle

By CASEY NEILL “I’M expecting him to apply for the CEO’s job before long.”

Alex Woller is unfazed by this suggestion from Actco Pickering Metal Industries partner and Greater Dandenong business big gun Jill Walsh.

“If there’s an opening, of course I will,” he replies.

The 20-year-old has every reason to be confident.

Last month he rose above apprentices from every Chisholm campus and discipline to win the TAFE’s Apprentice of the Year title.

“The parents were proud as punch,” he said.

“As soon as I got it Dad was shaking my hand and Mum was giving me hugs.

“It didn’t really sink in until a couple of hours later when we got home and started ringing up all the family.

“My grandmother, she cried when we called her. She was just crying, she couldn’t get a word out for a couple of minutes.

“I don’t like my grandma to cry, but she was happy.”

It followed receiving the Youth Enterprise Award at March’s Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Premier Regional Business Awards.

Chisholm has also nominated Alex for the Victorian Apprentice of the Year title.

“All the hard work that I’ve done, all the studying that I’ve done is finally starting to show,” he said.

“I’m just proud of what I’ve done, what I’ve achieved.

“I’ve always strived to be the best that I can be. I’ve always done extra hours at work, extra hours at TAFE, just learning new things.

“That’s just shown in how capable I am now and how much

I’ve learned.”

Alex started his apprenticeship elsewhere but wasn’t happy “doing a lot of the same thing over and over”.

Training agency Link Employment recommended Actco Pickering Metal Industries in Dandenong South, which supplies the rail, defence and aerospace industries.

“As soon as I got here I fell in love,” he said.

“It’s just a great environment to work in. They’re always testing what I can do.

“They’re always giving me new jobs, new skills to learn and I’ve just developed a lot from when I first started here about 14 months ago.

“I think of all the workers here as a family.”

Alex works in the welding department, fabricating parts for the likes of transport giant Bombardier and Pioneer Camper Trailers.

“We get given the parts, we get given the blueprints and, basically, we put it all together to very strict measurements - within a millimetre or two,” he said.

“We have inspectors that go over all the work that we’ve completed to make sure everything’s 100 per cent before it goes out the door.

“I always like to do the best.

“My work is - not trying to talk myself up - but usually always 100 per cent, which is how I like to work.”

He’ll wrap up his apprenticeship in June but is keen to stay put.

“Right now I want to try and get as many qualifications as I can,” he said.

“Now I’m doing night courses to get more certificates, more tickets.”

Alex has always liked to be hands-on.

Journal pick-up BUSINESSES in Dandenong South will now find it easier to get their Journal.

Bulk drops into the industrial zone started on Monday 4 May. Copies of the Dandenong Journal will be available at Lunchmaster in Hammond Road, George’s Lunch Box in Amberley Crescent, Arco Restaurant in Monash Drive and Kirkham Road Milk Bar in Kirkham Road.

There will also be bundles at Sam’s Milk Bar in Glynda Street, Dandenong, and BP Dandenong Truck Stop in Greens Road, Dandenong.

To contribute to the Journal’s business section, email casey.neill@ starnewsgroup.com.au.

Jobs are on the curriculum A NEW employmentfocused school has opened its doors in Dandenong.

Private vocational educator Evocca College will offer business, community services, counselling and events courses from the new Walker Street campus, its 40th in Australia and 10th in Victoria since its inception in 2011.

Evocca College Dandenong branch manager Chad Candappa said the college suited students who didn’t like rigid, large study environments.

“The one-on-one support and flexibility we provide ensures our students can complete their studies while working or raising a family,” he said.

Mr Candappa said the school could support students to pursue further study at university or to gain employment.

Evocca College Dandenong is now open and accepting enrolments.

Building’s blue move

Alex Woller works on part of a train roof. 137983 “I’ve always thought of myself as a worker,” he said.

“I like to teach, so a job as a supervisor or a leading hand could be something suitable for me.”

Ms Walsh said Alex got the most out of his workplace mentors because he was easy to communicate with and passionate about his job.

“They want to help him, they have a personal investment in his success,” she said.

“Having someone who’s younger and keen, it’s great for everyone’s morale.”

She said Alex’s attitude to life also showed in his work. His brother Zachary, 18, has autism and inspired him to take on volunteer work.

Picture: ROB CAREW “I’m always more open-minded about people with disabilities.

I think of them as special - they have special talents that I could never have,” he said.

“One of my little brother’s friends is a welder and he’s one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen and he doesn’t let his disability hold him back, which I think is amazing and inspirational.”

A PROMINENT blue building in central Dandenong might not be blue much longer.

CW Cakes has moved from the 224 Lonsdale Street site to another blue location around the corner in McCrae Street.

The property failed to sell at auction in December but is still on the market with real estate agent Cameron Industrial Commercial.

The asking price for the 370 square metre, two-storey site is $1.22 million excluding GST. It is opposite the new Dandenong Civic Centre and the Drum Theatre.

Valour quilt is a comfort IN 1970 20-year-old Don Edwards received the letter that many dreaded - he’d been called up to do National Service with the Australian Army.

The war in Vietnam was well underway and he found himself in Nui Dat. Fast forward to 2015 and Don and his wife Jenny are well-respected members of the Saffron Grove Retirement Village at Hallam, where they have lived since 2009.

This month the well-liked veteran received a quilt from Quilts of Valour, an organisation formed to present quilts to service members of the ADF in recognition of their sacrifice for Australia while deployed on combat operations.

“In January 1970, at the age of 20, I received a letter to notify me that I had been called up to do National Service with the Australian Army.

“I guess it was something all us guys at that age were fearful about receiving,” Don, who served in the Army from 26 November 1970 until 16 October 1971, said.

“After approximately six months of training they then flew me to Vietnam where I arrived at the Reinforcement Training Unit in Nui Dat, then I was attached to 7 RAR where I completed their tour then transferred to 3 RAR.

On call services offer immediate peace of mind.

“During the time in Vietnam I worked as an assault pioneer which included mine clearance, regular patrols in extreme conditions such as heat and rain.

“Two close comrades of mine were killed by exploding mines whilst on sentry duty, others wounded by shrapnel around me, I guess it was my lucky day that I didn’t get hit.

“Prior to arriving in Vietnam, the Americans sprayed the fields with Agent Orange.

“At the time we were unaware of the consequences of this until after we returned home and later on in our life we had to be tested to make sure we

were all clear.

“After I completed my tour in Vietnam, I was transferred to HMAS Sydney and homeward bound to Adelaide then discharged from the Army at Watsonia, Melbourne.

“My experience in the Army was somewhat challenging in many ways as I have suffered from depression, different medical conditions etc, but I have been able to overcome all this with a loving family, a good wife and two great children supporting me all the way.”

He can now also add the support of his friends at Saffron Grove.

Making life easier MOUNTAIN View Leongatha is a boutique lifestyle village in the heart of South Gippsland, offering a stylish and vibrant community for the over 55s or semiretired.

The low-maintenance, fivestar environmentally rated brick homes with emergency on-call services offer immediate peace of mind.

A bowling green, heated indoor pool and stylish residents’

lounge all helps, of course.

With reduced living costs, more time and money available to them, residents can concentrate on the aspects of living that make them feel good about themselves. Whether it be bowling, golfing, boating or perhaps walking and cycling on the South Gippsland Rail Trail, there is plenty to do.

Secure boat and caravan parking is also available on-site.

Leongatha is a town of 6000 people in the heart of South Gippsland.

The town is a service centre for surrounding areas and has had a state-of-the-art hospital upgrade, it boosts two golf clubs, assorted shops and a cinema.

Proximity to Melbourne and

the Latrobe Valley, great public transport and natural clean air are other bonuses.

The pain and glory

By JARROD POTTER SFL DIVISION 3 - Round 4 EVERYONE got their money’s worth as Sandown Cobras, led by a battered-and-bruised Brendan Fevola, claimed a nail-biting four-point victory over cross-town rival Lyndale.

The script-writers sure knew how to make a drama-filled, action-packed afternoon at Edinburgh Reserve, with the newly renovated change rooms and pavilion proving an ideal backdrop to the chaos on field.

With a Yarrawonga connection in coach Rick Bean, Fevola made himself available this week to play a one-off SFL match for the Cobras, but after pinching a back nerve earlier in the week which left him practically bedridden at one point - Fevola remained in doubt all the way up to the first bounce.

Despite his ailment, Fevola honoured his commitment to don the red, blue and white but was in agony throughout the clash. Picking up the ball from the ground proved painful enough, let alone running the field and leading from the square.

Even though he was barely able to get into first gear, Fevola showed his skill with a supreme performance out of the goal-square.

With the wind at his back for a blitzing second-quarter performance and booting five goals - it helped push the Cobras back in front and set

the stage for an exciting second half.

Lyndale caught fire in the third term as it booted away to a 12-point lead, and with the clock ticking down, all eyes turned to the square as the Cobras’ fans hoped for one last piece of Fevolamagic.

He would deliver. A high-ball in, set above his head, was gobbled up gladly on the second attempt.

Lyndale defender Brian Grundy could only look on and hope he missed, after number 96 performed gallantly to stop the former AFL superboot throughout the second half. But it was Fevola’s day and he rammed through his eighth to send the crowd into raucous celebration.

The Pumas rolled the dice in the last two minutes, but couldn’t muster the match-winner as Sandown held on to claim a 14.10 (94) to 13.12 (90) triumph, which will go down in their history books.

“Mate it was a fairytale for them,” Fevola said.

“It was a great day with all the boys… they’ve put on a great show and hopefully the crowd enjoyed it.

“Had a rub-down before the game and I literally couldn’t get off the rub-down bench so I struggled pretty much all day, but when a club puts on a day like today you got to get out here and suck it up… I was just lucky

enough to contribute and play a little bit of a part in the win.”

If anything, his eight-goals-one was short of what he was capable of achieving even with the back injury, as his Cobras team mates blazed away and sprayed behinds and turnovers instead of hitting up their dominant full forward.

For Lyndale, bellwether midfielder Dale Tormey (four goals) showed he is one of the elites in Division 3 while Veton Rexha and Brett Tosh also featured in the best.

Sandown host Moorabbin this weekend while Lyndale heads to Hallam.

In the remaining Division 3 clash, Dandenong was eviscerated by Mount Waverley, downed 5.5 (35) to 17.19 (121). Jayde Handfield, Jamie Gaspero and Dale Jose were best on ground.

SFL DIVISION 2 KEYSBOROUGH continued its rampaging start to life in SFL, taking four on the trot with a 12.14 (86) to 9.12 (66) win over Caulfield. Tyson King continued to make SFL forward lines his dominion - booting four goals - while Michael Downie, Matt Burnett and Mathew Collett also impressed.

While Springvale Districts accounted for Doveton Eagles with a scintillating first term - as the Demons kicked away to a 38-point to nil lead. The Eagles fought back through Corrie Wil-

TAC CUP - Round 6

FRONTING up for only one quarter won’t win many matches, but to Dandenong’s credit it almost happened in a two-point heartbreaking defeat against NSW/ACT Rams.

Losing Lachie Batten (bicep) and Gach Nyuon (groin) before the clash, the Stingrays were slow out of the gates and had to chase down the Rams as Matt Flynn, Matt Kennedy and Jock Cornell relished the small Shepley Oval dimensions.

Dandenong had to grit its teeth, but responded through Zak Roscoe and Matt La Fontaine (two goals) to reduce the gap to 14 at the first break.

Whatever was said in the quarter-time huddle must have been awe-inspiring, as that was the brand of football Dandenong played thereafter in the second term. Playing one of its best quarters of football in recent TAC Cup history - everything clicked for Dandenong as it booted seven goals in quick succession.

Link-up play, run-and-carry, hitting up the forwards - these were clinically executed by the likes of Daniel Capiron, Bailey Rice and

Mitch Cox as they streamed up the ground with ease to deliver James Freeman (three goals) and Liam Mckay (two goals) textbook, laceout reception.

It would be the summit of the Stingrays’ success on Saturday though, as it all fell away after half-time.

NSW/ACT would take the lead in the final term - as Dandenong squandered a 21-point advantage through the third term with turnovers, a glut of poor free kicks and clumsy 50-metre penalties (mostly for encroaching the mark) gifting the Rams a chance to get back into the clash.

But life remained in the Dandy sheds approaching the final siren as Travis Young tapped a throw-in expertly down to Darcy Warke, who slotted a running-goal which got Shepley Oval buzzing with a couple of minutes remaining.

It turned horrific after Warke converted though, as a reckless 50-metre penalty let NSW/ACT kick the winning goal from straight in front, 20 metres out to take an after-the-siren victory by two points.

By JARROD POTTER EFL DIVISION 1 - Round 4

Stingray forward Zac Roscoe scrambles for the ball against the Picture: JARROD POTTER Rams. 138498 “I think the second quarter we were really good and they always were going to come down and have a crack at us,” Dandenong coach Craig Black said.

“It was just some key areas of the game at certain times we turned the footy over a bit and gave them an opportunity.”

Black praised his streaming wingmen/defenders Rice and Capiron who “used the ball well” and

also Warke for his first real stint in the midfield.

While he was pivotal down back all day, featuring in the best, Harry Prior was needed up forward as the under-sized Stingrays couldn’t swallow the hard pills when they came in thick and fast.

The fifth placed Stingrays now head up the hill to face the highflying Eastern Ranges on Saturday from 11am.

THE FALCONS could only hold the gate shut for so long against the Bulls.

Noble Park - held to only three goals in the first term - made its charge in the second half as it conversely negated anything Knox had in its trick bag.

Keeping the visitors to four points after half-time, the Bulls excelled at negating any Knox initiative, effortlessly rebounding.

A slow-and-steady chip-away effort pushed the Bulls away to a 60-point win by the final change as Ziggie Alwan (three goals) and Kevin Kean (two goals) took charge of the forward line.

While he didn’t boot a bag this week, Kyle Martin remained the elite threat of the Bulls’ attack as he streamed through the midfield, ably aided by Craig Anderson and the run-and-carry of defenders Stewart Kemperman and Jackson Sketcher.

Sitting in third with a 3-1 record, Noble Park will head to North Ringwood this weekend to face the fifth-ranked Saints.

VAFA DIVISION 2 - Round 4 CONTINUING a powerful start to the VAFA season, St John’s looms as the team to beat following a 64-point demolition of Elsternwick AFC. Flying out of the blocks with a sevengoal opening term, the JOCs enforced Ben McGee’s rule to aplomb. The hard-edged St John’s midfielders hit up Aaron Thornton (six goals) - whose 23 goals puts him second in the league goal-kicking behind Jake Munro - and Rohan Scott (four goals).

Anthony Brannan was best afield alongside Daniel Cattolico and Manny Jakwot.

Sitting comfortably in top spot as the only unbeaten side from four rounds, St John’s faces Richmond Central away on Saturday.

VAFA DIVISION 4 MASALA was routed by Manningham Cobras in a 118-point flogging. More reminiscent of its early days in Club XVIII than its current up-and-about attitude, the Tigers were beaten pillar-to-post by the Cobras as only Feda Alidad (two goals), Josh Kyle and James Logan among a select group held their own.

Masala faces North Brunswick next week away.

SPORT It’s Good For Footy HAWTHORN super-boot Jack Gunston is set to join up with Noble Park junior and senior players along with Patterson Cheney Toyota in support of Good For Footy on Wednesday 6 May from 6pm.

The Good for Footy program is a grassroots initiative, allowing dealers such as Patterson Cheney Toyota, an opportunity to give back to their local communities by providing financial support for their local football club and a once-in-alifetime opportunity for fans to get up close with AFL stars.

As a proud sponsor of the Good For Footy program since it commenced in 2005, Patterson Cheney Toyota in Dandenong always makes sure the night will be something for the kids to remember - this year will be no exception.

Jack Gunston, Toyota ambassador and a key player with the Hawthorn Football Club, will be on-site, helping the kids have some fun as he runs training drills and chats about his career.

So far, more than 130 local football clubs have benefited from this program, receiving over $2.6 million dollars between them thanks to Toyota dealers across the states. In partnership with its dealer network and 3AW who provide live crosses on the night, Toyota encourages all dealers to get behind grass roots football.

“Toyota has been supporting Good For Footy for the past 10 years, the same length of time we have been supporting the Noble Park Junior Football Club,” Patterson Cheney General Sales Manager, David Haines said.

“We’re committed to leading community involvement and we see this as a perfect opportunity to be part of our wonderful community.

“This year we choose Noble Park to host Good For Footy due to their dedication towards this great game and the support they have provided to the local community.

“On the night there are plenty of activities on offer including a footy challenge course, bucking footy, music, and of course a huge inflatable handball competition, plus we’ll all have a chance to run through the club’s banner on the night.”

The bar will be open, there’s hot food available and heaps of fun activities on the night, along with 3AW broadcasting live crosses throughout.

If you’d like to find out more about the Good For Footy program visit www.toyota.com.au/afl/goodfor-footy.

Pirates’ guiding light

By JARROD POTTER BEFORE they had even squared off in an official match, the Parkmore Pirates’ Youth Girls team had a state representative.

For in-coming state star Teagan Sheldon, 16, from Scoresby, it is a chance help guide the new side while also pushing for her second bid at Victoria Metro representation.

Making this side this season - After a horror 2014 decimated by injuries and setbacks - was a huge relief for the utility as she wanted to make sure this year was different and she was able to mount a strong case for Vic Metro selection.

“It feels pretty good - I missed out last year, so making it this year feels so much better,” Sheldon said.

“I’d made it the year before last year, but I was just riddled with injuries last year with an Achilles and knees.”

The setbacks and omission from the state side inspired her to push even harder this year to regain her place in the National Championships.

She only has one aim for the upcoming campaign - returning the Youth Girls’ championship back to Victoria where it belongs.

“We want to take back what’s ours and that’s the trophy,” Sheldon said.

She decided to stick in

the South East Juniors when her Scoresby team left the competition and some off-field incidents made it clear that she wanted a fresh start at a different club. Parkmore seemed the ideal place to continue her junior football journey and she’s thrilled to help cultivate a strong football culture in the Greater Dandenong area.

“We had a look at the other teams going around and saw Parkmore had a new team,” Sheldon said. “I thought I’d start afresh - go to the new team and help build them up and I knew one of the girls down here already and was already thinking ‘Karina (Pirates’ player Karina Diaz) will probably need a bit of help’… so Parkmore was where I was going.”

She encouraged any female players to try out Pirates football and attend a training session to see if it’s the right fit.

“Get into it - its great fun and you’ll meet many new friends out of it… all you’ve got to do is come down and have a try,” Sheldon said.

She wanted to thank her dad, primary school PE teacher Mrs Lee and her past and present football coaches for their encouragement and support.

Sheldon’s Vic Metro team are in Mandurah, Western Australia this week with the championships running from 4-9 May.

Seminoles’ her style

By JARROD POTTER

Rachel Antoniadou will join Florida State University this year as she trades her Australian summer for the American college Picture: JARROD POTTER basketball season. 135336

SWAPPING her Dandenong Rangers’ green-and-gold for a bit of Seminoles’ maroon for the next four years, Rachel Antoniadou is set to begin her NCAA basketball career at a high-ranking college.

Antoniadou, 18, from Ripplebrook, will spend her next four Australian summers overseas as she pursues a start for the Florida State University (FSU) women’s basketball team.

Having featured prominently for Victoria and Australia at a junior level as well as making her WNBL debut in the 2013/14 season, Antoniadou is ready to make the next step up and has all the credentials necessary to make a splash at the collegiate level.

She signed her National Letter of Intent to play for the Seminoles and will head over to Florida later this year for pre-season training.

Her biggest choice was choosing between becoming a Seminole or a Cornhusker, but the up-tempo style of

long-serving FSU coach Sue Semrau convinced Antoniadou to head south into college basketball.

“I chose Florida State because it was more suited to my style of game,” Antoniadou said.

“I was seriously considering the University of Nebraska, but after looking into it some more, I thought Florida State was a better fit for my personality and style of play.”

“I would love to make it to an NCAA tournament - previously Florida State just this last year made it to the Elite Eight and finished seventh, so we’re pretty strong contenders for the next NCAA tournament and that’s definitely something I want to tick off.”

Antoniadou will be one of the first Australian players to join the Seminoles’ roster and she’s thrilled that “people are actually starting to come down and check us out” down under.

Her Florida State side starts its 2015/16 Atlantic Coast Conference campaign in November.

Dzeko… she always comes home like a train

They’re a mighty sight

By JARROD POTTER UNITING to battle a common cause, the up-and-coming under-10 footballers of Greater Dandenong have embraced a combined North Dandenong/ Parkmore football side.

The North Dandenong Sharks, based at Lois Twohig Reserve,

North Dandenong, and the Parkmore Pirates, based at Wachter Reserve, Keysborough, brought together their under-10 sides to form a Dandy powerhouse.

The unified Sharks-Pirates’ alliance took to the field for the first time on Sunday at the South East Juniors Little Demons Day.

With coach David Garry calling the plays for the unity team, the junior rovers, rucks and high-marking forwards excelled against Timbarra and Cora Lynn respectively in their two matches.

Parkmore has sides in under-10, all the way up to under-17 Premier Division as well

as a brand new Youth Girls’ side, while North Dandenong also has teams in under-11 and under-13 competitions.

For more information on North Dandenong contact the club at northdandy@gmail.com and Parkmore at michael@palmaandco.com.au

DZEKO looms as one of the main dangers heading into the RSN Sandown Cup, after taking out Thursday evening’s Group 3 Lizrene.

Dzeko began well from box 5 to settle third behind leaders Mepunga Tiara and Lady Toy. Dzeko closed the gap on the leaders mid race, with favourite Sweet It Is also looming large.

Approaching the home turn, Dzeko and Sweet It Is swamped the early leaders and went stride for stride to the line, Dzeko holding out Sweet It Is to claim the $25,000 first prize in a swift 41.54.

“I don’t even know what to say,” said Dzeko’s elated trainer Angela Jackson.

“Tonight she jumped really well, probably the best she’s ever come out here.

“After that I was looking for where Sweet It Is was and I could see her coming though - she (Dzeko) just kicked on really well and just kept on going.”

“She always comes home like a train, so she was in a great position when she sat third.

“I’m in shock, I’m thrilled.”

The win continued Dze-

ko’s outstanding record at the track, having won three and placed in four of her nine starts, taking her prize money to $53,810.

The run confirmed Dzeko’s status as one of the up-and-coming stars of the staying ranks, heading into the RSN Sandown Cup carnival.

“She’ll definitely be back in a fortnight’s time for the Sandown Cup hopefully she can draw the red box,” laughed Jackson.

Earlier in the night, veteran Sisco Rage collected his first Group race title when claiming the Group 3 Racecallers in 34.15 for trainer John Galea.

Wayne Vassallo’s It’s A Plane took out the GRV VBIS Maiden final, railing strongly to win in 29.64.

Sandown’s autumn carnival heats up yet again this Thursday evening, with Australia’s best sprinters set to contest heats of the Group 1 Harrison Dawson and Group 1 Sapphire Crown series.

The $145,000 Group 1 finals will be run the following Thursday, 14 May, along with heats of the RSN Sandown Cup. The $250,000 RSN Sandown Cup will be run Thursday, 21 May.
